So I was rooted with pingpongroot for a while. My phone started acting buggy and I decided to factory reset (via the settings menu in android). It failed ("dm-verity verification failed"), so I boneheadedly clicked Wipe data/factory reset in recovery, and immediately realizied what I'd done. So now I'm stuck in recovery with no firmware (I think). I can actually boot the phone but it just loads the setup wizard and I cant get out of that app. Cant even expand notifications or anything.
Can someone please guide me how to load a rom onto my phone?
You will want to download the stock firmware on your pc or you might be able to use Kies recovery to do it also.

Can you tell me, once I get the file on my device, how would I flash it? Would it be in recovery > install from ADB? Or maybe Install from external storage?
Well if you were on pc it would be you connecting your phone to the pc and it would be a simple process of letting it's do its own thing. I'm not sure fimilar with a way for you to flash a stock firmware on your phone. Just for the heck of it try to boot in safe mode, turn off your phone then press and h o ld volume down and the power button until you get a menu of normal boot etc. Go to safe mode and try to boot up and see what happens. I don't think it will help but it's worth a shot maybe you will be able to get somewhere. Otherwise maybe you have a friend that has a laptop or something that is a Windows pc?

On a mac you need Samsung Smart Switch, it will be able to fully restore your phone with the newest Firmware, you could also use the Verizon verizon upgrade assistant. I used the Verizon option and it hung at 66% for 2 1/2 hours, I ended up going to my local best buy, they had a samsung experience center, and they just reflashed it for me for free!

I have been trying for hours to root a Sprint Galaxy S5 on 4.4.4. I get into download mode and use oden 3.09 to load the NE5 kernel but after I click on file and then AP then find the kernel then hit start nothing happens. There is quite a few different NE5 kernels and so many different ways to use odin I am stumped.
I have attached a pic of what I see in download mode. Can someone tell me if it is correct.
It is a refurbished replacement phone.
Just wondering if you are worried about tripping the Knox counter or not? If not, it's pretty simple.

Don't care about knox.
All you need is to flash a custom recovery in Odin, then flash a superuser zip in recovery, or download cf auto root.
I used cf on my first S5 to gain root. I found a video using cf auto root for the S5 but the comments say it does not work on 4.4.4.
Here are the files I used

Unzip it, use the tar file to get your recovery, then flash the superuser zip. Good to go.
Thanks for the reply. I found a video on how to get into download mode and when I do that it does NOT look like what is in the video. I believe that might be my problem.
When I hold down vol up, power, menu it says recovery booting. then looks like whats in the picture I posted. It says manual mode at the bottom. Is this download mode?
I never even noticed that! Lol. Volume down, instead of up

Based on the information you gave in another post, I believe your new micro SD is screwed up. Replace your micro SD and see if that helps with updating recovery and CM.

Now that you said it, I am stuck with CM 12.1 and want to go back to stock. I think I tried everything out there on this website to get it back but I cannot flash stock ROM successfully. Any ideas on how I get to my stock AT&T 2.3.5 ROM? I have TWRP 2.8.6.1 recovery up and running smoothly and can connect using fastboot/adb (although intermittently because asus hardware of my pc intermittently acts up and refuses to detect my inspire). Many thanks!
First off you have to lock your boot loader then you can run the latest ruu

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-inspire-4g-att/news/
You won't lose s off when you run this..to have phone be seen by PC (with the 5.0 android version you have) you must use SDK. Make sure your SDK is updated to 5.0+ versions. After that,to access bootloader,you must open platform tools folder in SDK and hold shift,right click mouse and choose open cmd here...cmd window "fastboot devices" if PC sees it,run ruu
---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------
People tend to misunderstand that you can use SDK to access your phone. Especially if the computer does not see the devices drivers
---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
Once your device is back to stock, you can always unlock the bootloader again with HTC dev website
aaarrggh.. stupid me. I should've thought about locking the device. This is what happens with inexperience and jumping bandwagon in the middle. anyways. I rolled back now thankfully. Many thanks!! I have s-on so i dont think that matters. I don't think i will go through htcdev for unlocking it again because the whole point behind upgrading to 5.1.1 CWM was to use hangouts and dialer function. that is not working, so i guess i will just patiently wait for google to support GB (UNLESS YOU HAVE A BETTER SUGGESTION?????)

Hi, i have a galaxy j1 mini sm-j105B . I tried to flash this custom recovery i found on the internet, intended for the sm-j105H , and it worked fine to use it to flash SUperSU on it. But the TWRP i believe its not working 100%. The partition layout is different from H to B model. I dont know how it will work on your F model, but as i said, it worked on mine to use it to push SUperSU inside, root works fine. Want to try ? i can provide the links, but no guarantee it will work for your F as it worked for my B. Cheers

Just to clarify, the twrp i will provide does show that message before it boots. But that does not make my device bootloop like i read somewhere, nor it stops it from installing supersu correctly. It seems to work just fine. Anyway, if you dont want to see that message simply flash the stock recovery.img (easy downloadable) via Odin compressed as .tar . It replaces the recovery without changing the root status. While in download mode, your phone status will still be "custom", but no more seandroid messages will be displayed and the root works just fine.
I have seen and fixed that "recovery not seandroid enforcing" and it doesn't make me panic anymore. As for the custom part, my phone has been like that since I used a custom bootloader to achieve root via ChimeraTool then SuperSU failed to update binaries and I am stuck using 360root:crying:

Last question, does that stock contain the modem (modem.bin)? My phone is unbricked but the EFS is messed up because I flashed a marshmallow update via TWRP and did not backup my EFS. I eventally had to restore my original 5.0.2 stock rom.

I've been told this file is only available to VIP members of ClanGSM. Don't bother with this fix...

I'm done with XDA. Most useless site I've ever dealt with... I have a $400.00 dollar phone that is useless based on the information on this site. They say this file works for your model but....BRICK. No one test what they post as proven...Don't trust what you read on this forum. Go elsewhere...although there is not much else to go to...

Oh, I know this will get deleted, but hopefully someone will see this before it does. Nothing of value for the U.S.
I hope someone can lead me in the right direction. Somehow i have lost the sprint spark boot animation.
And ive been trying to get it back but to no avail it didn't work for me i have all the tar files and ive been through them all . All help will be greatly appreciated.

Change your csc to spr. There are apps that help if u r rooted.
---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------
Or reselect it if your already spr

Sorry to be more precise you need to change your preconfig to spr or redo it. It may reset device but i am pretty sure root wont be lost or anything just basically reset without losing everything.

The sure bet way that i know from doing would be root easiest would be autoroot unless kingoroot apk works for note 5 now, and then download the csc select apk https://csc-select.en.uptodown.com/android the app says it may work unrooted so maybe try that first otherwise for sure rooted works and so check the try root method box and itll take you to a screen showing cscs like spr bst xas.. choose spr, phone should reboot and have the animation. Just unroot if u want afterwards if u had to. Unless u havent ever been rooted and dont want to be....but then idk how you wouldve lost the stock animation.

When u try the odin do you check rtn, clear efs and whatever else that other xda forum says? Maybe pain to try again vs this method which is not as long, download apk, autoroot if needed, change csc.
Solved for some reason odin wasnt flashing correctly.
