Hi everyone, after a long couple of days tracking down everything I thought I needed to finally root my first attempt was utter failure. Lucky I still have a phone. Any pointers would be majorly apreciated. I gathered what I thought I needed for a clockwork mod recovery environment. Tracked down all the software and drivers from Motorola, carbon, etc.. Yet there was always something wrong. Corrupt file here. Missing driver there, not reading the tether with helium. Google and all his mothers throwing up roadblocks everywhere. By passing all that to finally pulling the reboot trigger around 3 am this morning and failure. I have no clue what I did wrong. Any takers on this? Thanks in advance……… .Moo

I've spent a couple days trying to figure out why my install is giving me so much trouble. With less than 10 posts I can't post in the active thread, and the Q&A thread gets no attention. I'm running a stock, previously unmodded (though used) Galaxy S5 G900T T-Mobile version, checking both the internally reported model number as well as the sticker in the battery compartment. It has been functional for over a year but getting slow due to too many apps.
I've reflashed, redownloaded, tried different SD cards, cables, computers, etc. I'm at least on my 20th flash. I've read some people having similar problems, but in the Q&A thread it's just people with no clue talking to each other.
I've even downloaded the same file (pointlessly, with the same hash and all) from multiple mirrors.
The phone hangs on the "starting apps" screen, IF I wipe dalvik and pull battery. Anything else hangs on the "samsung fireworks" boot animation.
CM12 went on just fine, as best I can tell I'm rooted. The other questions in the Q&A thread are, at best, incomprehensible and not providing ANY technical information or even a real question, I can see why they don't get a careful response - but I'm trying to approach this logically and carefully and just plain don't know where to turn. If there were some way I could record some data of use for someone more knowledgeable to look at, I'd be all too happy to do it.
I did just PM Edgar directly, so this may help - but I've got some 16 hours of seat time watching this phone not quite boot up (except on cm12) and I'd really like to flash something beyond the stock ROM. (as a total aside, does anyone know if the latest nightly CM12 build needs the boot animation patch applied or has it been incorporated?)
Thanks!
Hi there,
You already founded the right place for this questions so please wait there an answer.
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.

Our XDA Assist team will give you links to threads/forums that are relevant to your problem. You may be pointed towards guides and instructions that can be quite complex, so you will still need to read carefully and be cautious before attempting to make software changes to your device. It is essential you are in the correct forum for your device model; what works for one can ruin another.

So you might be familiar with LG's newest budget phone the LG Lancet but I bet a lot of you haven't even heard of the phone. I had attempted to root the phone with kingroot and it worked perfectly. I then wanted to get SuperSU instead of kingroot for obvious reasons so I had downloaded an apk known as Super-Sume and after I had restarted my phone it would not boot into android 5.1., instead it was stuck in a bootloop and I had to factory reset. Now when I start the phone, it boots into the startup but it just says "Please wait while we prepare your phone" forever. I don't really know what to do since this phone is so uncommon. I mean, you can't even find a damn unboxing video on youtube! Again, this is the android version of the phone and not the windows version (obviously). I have access to a computer and I have an sd card in the phone if needed. I just need instructions on how I can possibly fix this phone since it's so hard to find any sort of stock rom for it or any information on it in general. Thanks

And for some dumb reason I thought It would be really awesome if I rooted the damn thing... 《excuse my language 》but the thing is I have not one clue about rooting phones, how to backup phones, flashing anything, and recovery image 《 I thought that was something to retrieve the deleted pics off my phone》 lol jk but really I had no idea what any of that stuff really was I didn't know what twrp was or cwm still don't and when I rooted my phone I didn't have any of that stuff on my phone.... I can't even remember how I rooted the phone I wanna say kingroot or kingoroot but I could be lying.. any who... I think is kept saying something about security something and it told me to turn the phone off and back on I did and something happened so I ended up factory resetting it and now when I turn it on it takes me to the activation setup where u need to connect to wifi.... well it will say it's connected but when I hit next it says Internet is unavailable when it's not bc I'm signed on the same Internet on another phone.... And it's just this looping WiFi bs and I can't get around it.... I can boot in recovery and safe mode but I can't do anything past the activation setup.... where can I find a guide to help me....

I had gotten the LG L33L (Sunset) for Straight Talk @ Walmart during Cyber Monday (Due to Difficult Times) and rooted it! Found it recently and want to give it to my little cousin that doesn't get much. So I Factory Reset it (Forgetting all about Rooting it before) and now every time I turn it on it goes straight to the setup screen, the home and menu button does not work whatsoever now and it's glitching quite a bit... I'm completely lost as to what to do with fixing it, is it permanently fried? Is there a way to do a "Stock ROM" from what I hear? Please help me, and thank you in advanced!!

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to here. I rooted my phone a while back & enabled knox security which ended up causing it to get stuck in a bootloop.
CWM is damaged, it says E: Unknown, or it says things are disabled like adb sideload etc. I'm really stumped!
I'm not sure where to begin, I've tried Samsung kies, odin, a few other programs, none of which have worked at all.. Is there no way I can flash TWRP to it somehow? I'd really LOVE some help, I can't afford a new phone.
Any help is really appreciated!! Thank you!
