OMG! I totally messed it up... [:'(] can anyboby please help me??

i am using HCL me G1 Tab (Android 4.0.4 ), Kernel: 3.0.8+.Recovery System 4[3e]. this is my 1st android device, bought it 1 week ago. I am new in Android World.....
I installed Superuser.apk (v3.1.3) [using normal apk installation method]..... Then I got root access in FX File explorer and Titanium backup... Today I found another SUPERUSER.zip (v3.2 signed)..
I tried to flash it from recovery but didn't work... So I just extracted zip files in following folders and replaced the previous ones:
1st mistake, i just copied superuser.apk to /system/app folder [using FX explorer]
2nd, replaced 'su' in /system/bin with the new one.
3rd, copied contents from xbin folder to /system/xbin
Done! and now Superuser not working......
Now u guys can feel what i've done.... just messed up every thing.. Superuser.apk has become a system app, so i can't remove it.. can't delete it because I lost root access in FX explorer. su command not working, because doesn't have permissions... Titanium backup not working... etc.. :crying:
i have some other problems [before all these happened]... after installing andriod sdk and adb drivers, adb commands don't find my device. so i can,t push 'su' again into device.. SuperOneClick stop responding after *daemon started successfully*....
can't install SuperUser in recovery mode.. coz i always get the error:
-- Install /mnt/external_sd ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can anybody please help me??? I know its my mistake but still i hope for some help from u guys... Please tell me what to do now [when nothing is working]....
thanks in advance..

Thanks for ur reply.... i tried what you told... but it didn't work. now it seems that no pc toolkit can solve it because adb can't find my device.. so when i ran runme.bat, it stuck on *daemon started successfully*
i tried other toolkits also.. adb shell commands, superoneclick, etc.... but result is same.

yea i m trying... but android is new for me. problem is that superuser has become system app.. can't even unroot it coz system is not rooted. :cyclops:
can anyone please help me with this thing...?

Can you just re-flash your ROM ? I can't promise you it will work, but if you just clear caches and /system, then you shouldn't lose anything on the internal memory and can start over.

You were rooted once lol
I don't have a rom but Give this a gamble http://www.androidauthority.com/universal-root-tool-android-phone-tablet-ics-jelly-bean-122641/
Also try installing drivers with and without battery phone off and phone on.
This is a 99 percent total shot in the dark.
I know your new to the Android world Keep this in mind for the future with all android apps "if it works don't f*** with it."

Its pretty simple, just reflash ur phone or simply try to restore it, every android device has an emergency downlod mode, if u can figure out urs, u can simply connect your phone to the pc in edm and input ur imei code or serial number, and abt 45 mins on a 150kB/s speed you will have your device back to normal

[Q] Ultra-newbie: Help! tf3oot stuck bootloading; locked & unrooted.

Progress circles keep circling til battery dies. Coldboot didn't work. (Although Asus said I shouldn't try android icon.)
Don't want to wipe data if I don't have to because I was in the middle of backing up data when it got stuck (can I connect it to my 2 1/2 yr. old laptop to copy files I need?)
Have all updates except last one two weeks ago. Not under warranty.

hi
Try to connect it to PC when you turn it on..if your computer recognized it...other wise no way to copy data as far as i know..(I am also not a PRO).
For your tablet to boot again i think go into recovery and then wipe everything and it ll re format your tablet then it should be in factory condition.
If this dosent works try my guide see the first posts in here u ll find it!!..
Hope u ll recover it!

You should be able to pull some files, but I don't think you'd be able to get your app data back. The same thing happened to me not too long ago unfortunately and in the end I did end up having to wipe the data. You could try flashing a .blob file. Here's the thread I made, there's good advice in there:

Forgive my ignorance. That link didnt lead me to an sdk with adb in the directories, which sdk do I use?
Also, I cant figure out how to get a list of the guides on this forum or all forums.
Thanks!

If you want to use ADB to try and pull your files, then download the Android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You can search on Google for guides on how to use it and try asking if you get stuck
This guide should help you in using Fastboot commands (Method 2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
While it does say it's for Unlocked Bootloaders, it works on Locked Bootloaders too if I'm not mistaken. The way I saw it when I did it was that I had nothing to lose and it did seem to complete the command just fine although it didn't work after that and I had to wipe the data.

adb devices command didnt work

"adb devices" didn't work for me either, how did you make it work? I'm in the same place you were.
Also are there separate adb drivers?

XDA Avengers I need help! (Stuck on logo)

Hi XDA.
This was a thread I started last night ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/one-chinese-import-flash-to-bacon-issue-t2923211) and where it ends is where I realised my device wasn't unlocked. "yeah I know"
So I downloaded and followed these steps shown on this great tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2e_R_TbVg
But now my phone appears to have no OS. It wont show up as a USB device to allow me to put a zip across to install.
I have learnt alot this evening and am enjoying the process and this is the last step....
If I haven't bricked my phone!
Any help much appreciated.

That's the video that gets you to use a toolkit, right? My first piece of advice: ditch the toolkit and never use one again. They're more trouble than they're worth and clearly cause problems. Plus doing things manually allows you to actually learn a great deal of crucial stuff that you really need to know. Anyway, please provide some more information on your device, is the bootloader unlocked now? Do you have TWRP recovery installed?
Transmitted via Bacon

Hi and thanks for replying. I followed the guide and unlocked and installed TWRP and can access it easily but when tring to re boot the device it just stays on the +1 logo.
I have subsequently tried unlocking again if that was the problem.

Boot the phone into TWRP, go into the wipe menu and perform a factory reset, then reboot the phone.
Transmitted via Bacon

Ok just tried a factory reset and it failed stating among many things.
E:Unable to mount '/data
E:Unable to mount storage
Also the first line was E:could not mount / data and unable to find cry pto folder.

It might be time to start fresh, you're gonna have to try flashing the fastboot images I think.
Transmitted via Bacon

Ok thanks again for your support.
With this in mind can you please give me a nod in the right direction on how to do this please. I appreciate im a little out of my depth here. Swimmimg in deep android.

Follow step 8.

Yep, that's the one. Keep in mind though that I haven't yet updated that to suit the latest version (38R), so you can download the latest version from here:
http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
And then modify the last command to suit.
Transmitted via Bacon

Ok I'm going in! Will follow those 8 steps however the phone doesn't show as a USB device any more so will this work?

Really sorry guys but step two is a no-go as the device wont boot to enable me to get into dev options.

All you need to worry about is section 8. They're not steps that need to be followed in sequence, they're separate sections.
Transmitted via Bacon

Ok that's a relief. I have completed step one and it says its unlocked.
Ok so im downloading the OS you suggested but cannot get the phone to come up as a USB device to put the new OS onto the internal memory.

You don't put it on the phone, you need to put it in your adb/fastboot directory on your PC as per the directions in section 8.

If you follow the correct instructions you'll see that it doesn't even mention this command...

Make sure the zip file is in the fastboot folder aswell and make sure the name of the file you use in the command is identical to the name of the zip file.
After the final step your phone should boot again.

[Completed] Note 5 SM-920C Bricked from disabling SuperUser and rebooting

I own an Note 5 and i managed to soft brick it while trying to get android pay working for my rooted phone. In the process I was asked to turn off superuser in the SuperSu app and then reboot. After that my phone wouldn't boot.
List of things I tried:
I tried to flash the recovery.tar to my phone
Flashed Twrp and wiped my cache and davlik-cache
Also tried the fix permissions option.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Boot to TWRP(flash it again if you have to) and flash the superSU.zip and then when you reboot go to Playstore and find the Hide My Root app and you can use it to hide root from the app you want to use instead of disabling superSU. If Hide My Root doesnt work then try finding other apps that do the same thing.
I hope that helps. Good luck

Hey I was wondering how to put the zip file on my phone?
Thanks k

Put it on sdcard with PC or boot to recovery and push it to phone via adb on PC, then you can flash it in TWRP.

I was trying to give you a simple fix since you said the issue started when you disabled superSU but obviously something more is wrong.

It's pretty simple actually
Turn phone off
Hold power button + volume up
You're now in fastboot
Downloaded the needed files from this thread. Flash from fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2826541
Search on Google for latest fastboot zip and use that to do the guide.
You will have to unlock your bootloader. There are videos on YouTube that show how to do this so search and you'll find all the answers.

Your bootloader is already unlocked, isn't it?
