[Q] Need help BIG time, no OS anymore.

So before I installed Cyogenmod months ago I forgot to backup everything but I didn't think it mattered as everything was running smooth. I try to update to a nightlybuild that was in my settings and TWRP said it failed. Every single time I tried to reboot or factory reset I would constantly go back to the TWRP screen. I've tried drag and dropping multiple roms onto the phone, find it and 'swipe to confirm flash' but it ALWAYS says fail no matter what. And when I try to go to reboot it says 'WARNING: No OS found.' I've been trying all day and I literally need this phone to work but nothing I do is helping. Please help? Or ask any questions you guys need to know.:crying::crying::crying:

How bout the specs on that phone?
Model, link me to the phone here on xda, link me to the support page of your manufacturers website, etc.
Sounds like a partitioning issue.

For Samsung phone:
Go download mode and flash a ROM through ODIN.
For non-Samsung devices:
Flash a ROM from SD-Card.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

First, flash to stock based on carrier.
Taken straight from an xda forum post for the sprint model Here is a page that has the stock ruu's use the one at the bottom of the list.
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Jewel
Second, fastboot flash the latest twrp img for your evo. (Or however you got it on there in the first place.)
Last, get back to cm or whatever rom you want using the way that you originally got there.

I don't understand that, he provides fastboot commands and two downloads which should provide s-off.
Boot into bootloader with key combo and then use fastboot on your pc with the commands he provided.
If you need drivers then ask.

[Q] AT&T S5 (G900A) Soft-Bricked / Freezes on Boot Logo using any ROM

I'd appreciate any help to get my phone working again. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I'm hoping I haven't completely ruined it...
I'll try to recall the exact steps I took to get to this point:
First, towelroot wouldn't work to get root due to me accepting the OTA update to 4.4.4 android. So I found on a forum post that you can use Odin to flash the stock kernel and then towelroot will work. So I downloaded the stock kernel and flashed it successfully using Odin. Towelroot was then able to work with success. After that I installed SuperSU and busybox. Then I was using this guide (URL omitted due to forum rules) to install SafeStrap recovery as I'd read CWM recovery didn't work for the G900A model (AT&T). Safestrap seemed to install OK and when I rebooted I was able to get into the SafeStrap software interface. From there, I attempted to flash the CM12 nightly build to the "stock rom" slot (I'd read there was some trouble using the non-stock-rom slots in SafeStrap). That operation completed with success, but when I tried to reboot, it froze at the CM12 splash screen. I tried this with a few more custom ROMS and they all do the same thing (freeze up on boot logo / splash screen).
I've tried using Odin to flash back the stock firmware. As long as I didn't try to flash the bootloader (BL) Odin shows "PASS". However, when it reboots it again hangs on the Samsung splash screen.
So at this point, I've flashed all stock firmware to the phone (except BL) and it freezes and then goes black screen on the Samsung splash screen. Also, it no longer shows the SafeStrap "recovery / continue" bootup screen since I flashed the stock firmware.
Any ideas on how I can get back to a useable device?...

Googled the error. Solution is to flash the firmware with PIT file. Only problem is that someone has to give you a working pit file.

Same problem with other Samsung phone and description for the solution --> CLICK ME

I'm still stuck... I'm just looking to get back to a usable device. I really don't care if it's a stock or custom rom at this point. Any help is appreciated.

I tried flashing with the full firmware package I downloaded (4.4.2 G900A stock firmware) which included a *.pit file inside one of the tarballs. I used the PIT/re-partition option and everything succeeded except it still freezes at the Samsung boot logo.

Anyone? I'm getting desperate here...

AT&T Tab 4 8" T337A Temp Root

This is a temp root and will be removed every hard boot.
I am not responsible if you break your device!
You have been warned.​
Knox is not tripped​
Hello All, I Have found a temp root process for those who have the AT&T Tab 4 with the kernel build Thu Aug 13 17:01:34 KST 2015.
Download Tab 4(Temp root), you will have 3 files. Odin 3.07, boot(LP_fix).tar and Kingroot-4.1.apk.
Install KingRoot on your tablet run and click Start Root. After the first time the process of checked for root will take longer as su will still be installed.
You will now have KingUser installed in /system/app/
When uninstalling bloatware, do it in one go.
When you have to reboot, reboot into download mode or you will get the AT&T unauthorized screen.
Use Odin to Flash PDA with the boot(LP_fix).tar, this will wipe the su links so the kernel doesn't see it and will boot. You will reboot automatically back to the launcher and will be able to reboot without using Odin.
Need help furthering permanent root as this is beyond my skills.
Update 1/27/16 14:35
Deleting all knox related apps is safe so far, setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0 and a soft reboot seems to put kernel in permissive mode. Download a soft reboot app from the play store for reboots.
Don't let you tablet die and you don't have to keep doing this process!
Thanks to CocaFoca for the boot(LP_fix).tar.
Thanks for the dev(s) of KingRoot.

Does it work
Anyone try this yet?
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Seems kind of weird no one is commenting on this, wonder if it works

I see this on a few different sites but no comments on any of them. I use my tab for work and can't afford to be Guinea pig and turn tab into hockey puck so have to wait a while I guess. If anyone can confirm that this works let us know please

Seeing as how the author wont even reply its not worth the risk to me

This works just no hard boots. No knox trips either. Still working on recovery methods maybe someone can help upload there build.prop.

Just search soft reboot in play store and it has red arrows in a circle motion. As long as you don't mess with build prop you will be fine.

on your notes on the 27th you put to do.... setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0...... do I still do that? The last message you sent said as long as I dont mess with build prop I will be fine...

If you know what your doing you can change build.prop, do you need permissive kernel? All it does is disables SElinux for stuff like xsposed which isn't supported yet. Its aimed more to someone who will help farther to permanent root. The build prop is really good for this device.

No custom recovery yet as I was told bootloader is locked, until someone confirms custom recovery works in am staying away as there's no Odin firmware and I need warranty. Yes Odin 3.09 will work but it will remove root really no need unless a hard reboot is needed your your tablet dies. Just keep with soft reboots. As for viper I would stay away soundalive is way better. Stock recovery will not work.

Better than viper4android? I highly doubt that. Don't think that is possible

First, just want to say thanks for sharing this info & zip. It brought my tab back from the dead after i rooted. (initially i was unaware it had a locked bootloader until after i rooted). I just have a cpl questions maybe someone in here can answer.
1. Has anyone tried using Flashify or Root Rashr to flash the boot_LP_fix.tar before powering off? I personally have never used either app so i dont know if either can flash .tar files. I know Mobile Odin would probably work, buy it doesn't support LP. 2. Has anyone installed busbox? 3. Do any of the "Hide Root" type apps function in such a way as to let the tab reboot? Those were just a few questions i had about this. Thanks for any info.

Hide root does not work has to do with the kernel checking for root or sumlinks, busy box installs and works but no idea on flashify.

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Im only looking for a way to safely power down bcuz about 2 or 3 times a week my tab doesnt get plugged I into a charged so it gets shut off. My girlfriends mother & son play with it & use it to stream movies. It would be great if there was a functional equivalent of Mobile Odin Pro so when i was done busing it i vould simply flash the tar. file so it would boot. Maybe ill do a little experimenting & see what happens. Thanks again

Can someone with a rooted SM-T337A do a system dump with these files included modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, a cache dump, and the PIT file??? Please

Thanks worked

I think I dun goofed :c. Was working fine, then I had to reboot, flashed the .tar, but I think I was a second late on catching it, because now it doesn't boot :c Hangs on ATT screen. HEEELP :C

Does anyone have a tar file for the t337a?

HELP! I bricked the S6 (Model is sm-s906L) and I cant find the exact PIT file!

Odin says i need a pit file to flash the original recovery onto the phone.
But I cant find this PIT file anywhere on the internet, please if anyone can get this PIT file for this MODEL i would greatly appreciate it!

Was your phone rooted before it got bricked? Also, I can help you, but you will a custom recovery if your phone is rooted.

I have this same phone......rooted. Can use your help. I want flash any working verizon rom. But more importantly I want to know how to recover from a brick..............
Noticed you were able to recovery from a brick......with Odin? Curious how. I tried to flash a stock Verizon rom, while rooted with ODIN, and pit file.......but it fails.
I am nervous of trying to flash TWRP and custom rom, if I don't know of a full proof recovery method.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

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'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.

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.
