Hi all, i am having some trouble with this tablet and hoping someone can help me out. so basically i decided to try out kingroot on the tablet in order to root it and remove some of the tmob bloatware on there that was slowing it odwn and chewing up the battery. I then decided to replace kingroot with supersu ( (I am basically a noob when it comes to this stuff - just fyi). i downloaded supersu me and it seemed to work and got rid of kingroot and proceeded to download and update supersu. After all was said and done it asked me to reboot and thats where the device looks like it bricked itself.
I have tried to get into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache several times but it doesnt seem to make a difference. It basically justs sits at the initial screen where it shows the tablet name and never boots up. How do i reover this tablet? any ideas?

Hello everyone,
I searched the forums for awhile but could not find a satifying answer for my question. So i am hoping you guys will have an answer for me.
First of all i would like to point out that i am not looking for an answer for how to unbrick the phone. There are several guides and hopefully when i get home i will be able to fix the problem. *Fingers crossed*
I did not have my Galaxy S for long. After getting it and installing KIES and updating my firmware the battery life what terrible so I rooted the phone and then installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU. it worked like a charm.
Yesterday when I was playing with the CWM application, I decided that i was going to back up the phone and backed it up using the application. This morning one of my programs was acting weird and I decided to restore the backup I have done yesterday.
Upon going into applications and CWM, I chose the restore option and started the process. Everything was going smoothly, the phone was plugged in to the charger as well.
When the phone rebooted after the initial process I am stuck at logo screen. i can go into download mode (That is why I am hoping that I will be able to unbrick it) however that is as far as the phone goes. When I try to go into CWM Recovery mode, I am once again welcomed by the phone getting stuck at logo screen.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this might have happened? To avoid future problems is there any extra steps I should have taken before using the CWM restore function?
Thanks for the help.

Maybe your backup was corrupted somehow. You could have tried wiping the dalvik cache after restoring your backup (before rebooting), but its too late now. Since you can get into download mode, you can easily fix the problem (your device is just soft bricked - nothing to worry too much about).

The phone rebooted automatically. Did not give me the chance to do anything beforehand.
As you said the phone was soft bricked so when i got home that day i just fixed it. No problem. However I am really really into getting to find out how a 1 day old back up can get corrupted.
I bought a used HTC Inspire 4g/DHD and it had already been flashed with "Jellytime." Thats all I really know. I know the basics of flashing and such. But here is the problem. Everything seemed in order, so i gave the phone to a friend to use, and then it started having a ton of issues. Video would go all wonky in landscape mode, phone would lock up, become unresponsive etc. So i attempted a factory restore via the boot menu and clockworkmod. Everything seemed to be going all good, then suddenly it gave me 2 errors saying it could not find and could not mount recovery files.
I thought, okay, weird, and let the phone finish doing what it is doing and restarted. It took probably 5-6 minutes after the restart and i finally got to the first screen to setup android (select language) and got a slew of pop up error messages saying XXX app has crashed or is not responding or that files were missing. and would not let me progress past that first screen. Now the phone will not even boot past the "jellytime" logo. (HTC logo flashes first, then jellytime animation and just stays there).
So i am at a loss as to what to do next because i cant get into android to enable USB debugging to use whatever process to reflash a suitable ROM. My friend really needs a phone back so a prompt response would be appreciated.

Maybe you have to re-flash the whole ROM. Startig freshly (with a factory reset / wipe data) is recommended.
And don't give the device to this friend again
If you have further questions, please ask in the Inspire 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !

I posted over in the other forum. But my issue is that I cannot do the factory restore and data wipe. It will not complete. It give me a missing recovery file error. And it can't mount the missing recovery files. It is why I am so stuck.

As I can see, you have already posted your question in the Q&A forum ([Q] soft bricked or screwed?).
So now you have to be patient and wait for someone to answer there.
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
Earlier today, I got an error upon starting up my Samsung Galaxy S5 (T-Mobile) that says "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." My background has been turned to black and none of the buttons work properly. The phone IS rooted (and has been for about a week), but runs on stock OS (5.0 Lollipop) and stock recovery. I have never flashed a rom on this phone. I already tried restoring from a Titanium Backup I made yesterday before this error ever showed up, but it did nothing. Perhaps it's relevant that this error first happened after I booted the phone in recovery mode (to see what stock recovery looked like), then selected "reboot phone." I also already tried wiping the cache partition, wiping the System UI cache, and rebooting is Safe Mode. None of these worked. I thought unrooting the phone might help, but I accidentally uninstalled SuperSU without removing the root. With the System UI down, I can't install any apps at all, such as SuperSU again or a file explorer that would allow me to remove the "su" folder in /system/bin/. Now I have no way of unrooting, short of wiping the phone. I DO NOT want to do that. How do I get my phone back to normal?
--EDIT-- I finally gave in and did the factory reset. I rooted it again using the same method as before (in order to use Titanium Backup), and just to see what would happen I went to recovery mode. Sure enough, I was greeted with the same error as before. I had already rebooted the phone normally multiple times before trying to use recovery mode, so I have no doubt that the stock recovery mode is the cause of these issues.

Personally, I don't like Titanium Backup. I seem to be in the minority with that opinion, but it's given me issues in the past. Try flashing a non-stock recovery like TWRP for your S5 and either wiping your phone or wiping and flashing another ROM.
Samsung phones seem to dislike rooted users for some reason

Too late, I already wiped the phone. I re-rooted using Chainfire's auto-root, then flashed CWM so that stock recovery doesn't screw me over again. Before restoring from the backup, I booted into CWM recovery and restarted the phone. No error. I hope it stays that way, this whole thing is a huge hassle. There really needs to be a disclaimer with Chainfire's auto-root telling people to get rid of stock recovery!

[Q] Stuck on TWRP/System Recovery. Need help.
Hello, first time posting here.
So like the title says, my phone is stuck on System Recovery. I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (A500F model), rooted, and with TWRP installed.
The phone was running fine for 3 months without problems, so I guess it must be from recent installs, but I haven't installed anything since last week. The last action I did prior to this problem was going to System Recovery via Link2SD app, since the usual button combination didn't work. So I guess the fault lies there? At this point I have tried everything I can do, like restarting, rebooting, wiping, factory resetting, and I even restored a backup but it still goes to System Recovery after every restart.
This is my first problem on Android phones, so I hope you can help me.
If you need more information, I'd gladly provide.
Cheers.

So, last week I got my phone rooted using Kingroot. I use an Innjoo One 3G HD phone. A couple of days later, I wanted to try out SuperSU. I installed it and it prompted me to get rid of the KingUser first. It gave me 2 options. The first option was a faster, more convenient approach. It suggested installing SuperSUME which would help me to be able to uninstall Kingroot. So, I installed SuperSUME and initiated the process of uninstalling Kingroot. After SuperSUME prompted me that it had successfully completed the process, it automatically opened up SuperSU. However, as SuperSU attempted to run, it prompted me to restart my phone. I restarted my phone, opened SuperSU again to run it again, I still got the same prompt to restart my phone. This happened like 3 times. Then I went back into SuperSUME to repeat what I had done before. This time however I noticed that the progress bar couldn't go beyond ''installing SuperSU''. I should note here that at this time, the notification bar could no longer pull down. Even when I tried to get into settings using the icon in the app drawer, it would attempt to open up and immediately close up again. I backed out of SuperSUME and then uninstalled SuperSU hoping this would make it easier to for SuperSUME to reinstall it. I had no progress. I restarted my phone hoping that a reboot would get things working fine. When the phone restarted I got a blank black screen. I pressed the volume rocker a couple of times, but nothing showed up on the screen, except this error message ''Android system is not responding. Do you want to close it?'' I restarted a few more times, but I couldn't get past the black screen. At a point I couldn't even get to the black screen anymore. I didn't get beyond the bootloop. I have searched the internet for possible solutions, attempted a couple of suggestions that seemed to make sense, like wiping data/factory reset, install from SD card, install from ADB, flash using SP Flash Tool, nothing seems to have worked yet. My device can't even be detected by my SPFT even after installing updated USB drives. I didn't enable debugging on my phone, so Android SDK Platform tools can't my device. Right now, I'm blank, not sure what else to do than look for help here. I'd be very grateful to get some help here, PLEASE :crying:
