think i ruined my phone D:

hi all,
im brand new to this website, got my galaxy S a couple weeks ago and wanted to start customizing it, so i signed up.
anyway. i tried rooting my phone with the mac one click root, which originally worked, then i accidently unrooted it.. kinda. i can't boot into recovery mode so i booted into recovery from pressing unroot coz that force enters boot recovery mode.. it went bad from there
i tried to do the one click lag fix. there was an error and when i restarted the phone it would not boot up, also my boot animation was gone...
so lag fix didnt work and its screwed up my phone because now i cant use mac root/unroot at all, it just doesnt work.. has any one ANY suggestions? please!
thanks in advance.

[Q] Moto G bricked

Hi,
My friend's Moto G has been acting really weird over couple of weeks, first it started freezing, then started to work really slow and now it doesn't want to boot into Android as it gets stuck on Motorola logo.
He hasn't done any rooting, changing ROMs whatsoever, the problem just came out of nowhere.
He's not able to boot into recovery as it gets stuck on Motorola logo.
What could be the cause of this?
Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Thanks for reply, the warranty just finished a week ago. I'll try to reflash it through fastboot using this method here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 but doubt it will work.
Thanks.
EDIT: Reflashed Stock ROM and everything works fine, weird.

[Completed] Secure Booting Unsuccessful error

Folks, I have seen some threads on here so I will understand that you will probably hate me but seriously none of those did well for me. So that's why I am creating mine. As an owner of LG G2 mini I had been closely focusing on CM12 progress re lollipop that InvaderJohn was working on. There was a camera overexposure issue so I tried to use some working lib files and vendor/lib files and created a flashable file for TWRP recovery. I screwed it up as upong the flash my phone with CM12 didn't boot up. I wasn't able to get into recover thru adb so I pressed volume down and middle button and got myself into factory mode. I did factory reset and was in TWRP recovery again. Good. Then I reflashed the phone and there was an error saying that secure booting unsuccessful. I have LG Flashtools and tot file with dll for my LG D620fr on my laptop. This method I used once when getting the phone bricked and it worked and I was able to install stock 4.4.2 ROM. But this time... not sure why but the tot flash got stuck with 94% and while the phone was supposed to get restarted it didn't and the message above of the secure etc. popped up. I am able to get into my TWRP recovery (weird) but nothing else. I suspect I got my bootloader locked. Is there any way how to figure this out, please? I was trying the fastboot method but my phone is unrecognizeable. Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds like the bootloader is locked.
Check this thread: How to check for locked bootloader? ... but it's for the LG G3.
Best place to ask is the G2 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

Thread closed and thank you.

stuck on boot animation, and unable to get stock recovery to work

So recently for some reason my Nexus 5 gets stuck on the booting animation. I think it was updating to 6.0.1 or something but I'm not sure, because I just woke up one day and the phone wouldn't boot, and when it finally did it just gets stuck on the boot animation. I've tried to flash stock images and etc but I need an unlocked boot loader and for some reason if the phone doesn't boot completely after unlocking the bootloader, then it gets re-locked. So now my last option is to use the stock recovery to wipe data or something but when I go to the screen with the dead android guy, no combination of buttons seem to make the recovery options show up. If anyone could help that would be great, even if it doesn't involve the stock recovery!

You only need to go back to the bootloader to unlock and then flash factory images, why do you need recovery?

If the bootloader is relocking itself after a reboot, the emmc has probably gone bad and can only be fixed with a motherboard swap.

aw that's unfortunate. thanks anyway

I had two Nexus 5 phones that would bootloop and, eventually, the bootloader would keep relocking each time I rebooted.
I bought a couple of used N5s with busted screens, swapped motherboards, and everything went back to normal. A new motherboard is way too expensive.

Every Rom I've tried is just sitting at the boot up logo.

I've tried Carbon but that one wouldn't actually boot up, just shut my screen off and would shut itself off.
AospExtended ROM, is just sitting at these bouncing dots.
Ressurection Remix, sits at the boot screen of whatever that...logo is supposed to be.
I'm at my witts end here and about to smash this piece of junk. Nothing on this phone has ever worked right since I got it. Figured I'd fix it by getting rid of their trash UI and do custom roms but apparently it can't even do THAT right.

Upgrade your device to EMUI 8. Then flash one of the Treble ROMs.

I can't even get into TWRP anymore. It just keeps going into the EMUI recovery everytime I hold down all 3 buttons.

I've found out myself of why those custom roms wont boot, because you did not clear cache and dalvik before you booted to the custom rom. You wont have to smash ur phone if you do this.

That's something I do automatically without thinking. That stuff was finicky back in the OG Droid days so I always do it like 3 times just to make sure.
Anything else that would cause it to get stuck at the booting up screen? I get passed the blue screen and the your device is insecure or whatever. Then it just goes into the fancy booting logo and just sits there. Never on any of the phones I've rooted over the past decade ever got stuck like this.
WOHOOO! I MADE PROGRESS!
My phone is now stuck in a never ending bootloop and can't seem to get into any recovery. Can't even shut the phone off because it just turns itself back on. Backwards progress is where it's AT!

Bump, any ideas?
I went back to Motorola and bought an X4 but I'd like to get this working again so I can sell it.

What honor 8 model do you use? It should not be Bootlooping then, if there is no solution you can always go to stock.
You could flash twrp again, with fastboot
Boot with power + volume up to boot into twrp

Use dload method
