Hi thanks for reading not sure if this is the correct place to post. I'm rather lost on my options and fear that I've essentially totaled my phone.
USB isn't recognized(yes I've updated drivers and confirmed my cord allows data transfer and tried with usb debugging on and off), this is a hand-me-down phone I received rooted, attempted to apply Cyanomod (successful but got the No SIM issue even though I could call and receive texts no data though) proceeded to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
However after installing the latest modem my phone went into soft brick - boot looping.
I then decided to wipe Cache - D.Cache - system - Data. After doing this over and over I accidentally wiped internal data as well (fixed this issue by buying a micro SD card today) So now I got all my .zips and roms back where I can still flash.
Still in a boot loop and have read that maybe my recovery (TWRP) could be the cause of this, seeing how I've basically wiped everything multiple times to try and get to the bottom of this.
Is there anyway I can use the Command Terminal IN TWRP to flash a newer version of TWRP ( because I had not used the latest TWRP )
If so can you please give me the command line in which I could use the .img of twrp-3.0.2-0-d2att.img and when going into the Command Terminal at what level should I select?
I really can NOT afford another phone atm and I'm very gracious for any help. I've watched and read many useless videos/articles over the last few days and can't seem to find a video that would involve not using a PC to use Odin.
P.S. - I'm also prepared to go back to stock everything if that's what's called for atm but first this boot loop is the issue. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I'm using a GT-P5100 (3G + Wifi) O2 UK rooted tablet and for the last month it has been broken. It started rebooting itself randomly every now and then, and then suddenly it wouldn't even boot up for 15 seconds before it would restart itself again.
I am able to get into safe mode and I can get into the boot options, but when I factory reset it does nothing, I've tried from the boot menu, from safe-mode options and even from the dial up code.
I tried to connect my tablet to my PC as a media device and format it but that didn't work either; I can't connect it as a disk then format it that way because they took out 'mass storage mode' on this firmware.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin but every time I tried it would fail until I used Odin.v1.3, but guess what, it rebooted itself and my entire tablet is still exactly the same.
(the option was on AP ram in v1.3 not AP nand I don't know if that makes a difference.)
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it so much. I have been trying for weeks to fix this and I just don't know what to do anymore, I tried on another forum but nobody answered me.
Hi,
This would be best posted in your device section so the experts who own your device can help. I will request this be moved to here,

Make sure kies is not running to use Odin. End all kies processes in your task manager on the pc.
Good luck!
Thank you very much I have posted it there instead ^^
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hello,
My S2 keeps rebooting, I had a modified version of cyanogenmode (lollipop, taken from galaxys2root.com ) and one day my phone closed unexpected. I tried rebooting but It was in sort of a loop, so I try reinstalling its original ROM.
I followed the steps, how to flash using odin etc. etc., but when I was supposed to do a wipe data/ cache from recovery mode, my S2 rebooted. After that when I was able to enter in recovery mode, there was an error, E: failed to mount /data. Now, I'm only able to enter in download mode.
What should I do ?
*******************
Things that I did so far:
1. Reinstalling 2 versions of stock firmware (I9100XWLSU_I9100OROLS5 / I9100XWLS8_I9100XXLS8_I9100FOPLS3_HOME)
2. Reinstalling using different versions of odin
3. I've removed the battery for some time (read somewhere that this can make a difference)
no response, I see only the initial logo and then again, reboot
Note:
After I've installed third time it's original rom, there was hope because it displayed the setup to choose the country and to connect to a wi-fi, but after 10 or 15 seconds, back into the loop.
P.S I hope that I explained my problem well, please ask for more details If you think you have the answer to my problem.
Have a nice day.

While trying to flash an android mod via SD I managed to soft-brick my phone. I skipped a step or two (ROM backup and data wipe) and ended up with a phone stuck in a bootloop. I managed to flash CWM recovery v6.0.4.6. Since then I have tried to flash any and all ROMS I can find that have been developed for the GTS5570. Some of the ROMs have installed okay, some have failed or aborted. The only difference now is that the phone boots straight into recovery.
Tried to do this via laptop (using Linux Mint and Windows 10) and the phone was not recognised via usb, even with drivers.
I don't want to just give up, but I reckon I've come to that point. That is unless there is something I have overlooked.
Any and all advise welcome.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi, I acquired a tablet off my mate a couple of week ago, which he was throwing away because it wouldn't get off the android screen..So I set my self a challenge to get the thing going again Having not got any experience in this sort of field & finding out the tablet is Chinese I knew it could be a big task with little resources, though keen to educate myself! Anyway I set out on this educational journey a couple of week ago & researched into the task ahead. Now I've hit a brick wall & need pointing in the right direction if anybody can help!
Here's what's happened.
I could open the stock recovery
connected to laptop & after installing drivers, ADB etc I could connect through ADB
Tried to boot into fastboot & it just does a normal boot!
Managed to find a rom which I thought would work & flashed it via a CWM sideload recovery!
Great piece of kit it worked a treat alongside the stock recovery!
now it worked though the touchscreen didn't, so I restored a backup from the CWM recovery maker & viola back to where I started
Then I found a TWRP version that I thought would work - so I flashed that!
Now it boots in TWRP though the touchscreen doesn't work & that's not good with TWRP
It can still connect in recovery to ADB
I can push & pull files & ADB shell
I've come to the conclusion that the only way I could get back to where I started, at least is by somehow making a fresh rom from the CWM backup I have or flash the firmware which booted up. (bearing in mind I omitted the recovery image from the build when I flashed)
Now the only way around this (from what info I've gathered) is to use a shell script which will make TWRP automatically read my update.zip what I've pushed over to the sdcard then flash on reboot..
I've found this
(google) shell-script-to-reboot-into-recovery-and-install
I've copied the script into an editor (on my phone - I've got a windows computer) saved as .sh, pushed into sdcard on tablet & tried to execute.
adb shell says
# /sdcard/myscript.sh: line 3: reboot: not found
Could anyone help me on my quest?
I've got nowt to lose & I'm quite enjoying the experience
Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone,
I own a Motorola Moto G2 (XT1068, dual sim) that came used with Android 6.0 on it.
I installed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img) on it but failed to root Android 6.0 as well as 5.0 for whatever not yet understood reason. I don't do Android development for a living but I'm an IT professional, so handling adb and fastboot as well as reading and understanding instructions isn't a problem.
I flashed stock Android 4.4.4 (RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14) which I successfully rooted by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Next I updated SuperSU, verified that root access is indeed working and installed FlashFire, which I hoped to use to install OS upgrades, possibly without losing root. FlashFire is new to me (as of yesterday), everything else mentioned up to here is not.
I used the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action from within FlashFire and the previously downloaded update file in the /cache directory. I can't reproduce the file name since the phone is currently unusable and I didn't write the file name down prior to using FlashFire.
The state of the phone after this unsuccessful attempt was that of a broken USB device, i.e. unable to even register as whatever type of USB device. I learned that this can be fixed by holding the power button down for more than one minute, after which I managed to
get the phone to be shown as working "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" USB serial device in Windows 7 device manager.
I used the information in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Since I started with Android 4.4.4 trying to upgrade to 5.0, I had hoped that the blank flash package for one of these Android versions would help fix my problem, but as of now, this doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the blank flashing process, I get the message
FAILED <blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello: error sending packet>
After that, the phone still has a black screen and cannot boot into anything. Repeating blank flash works after resetting whatever part of it is still working by holding the power button down for about 30+ seconds.
Is there anything obvious (or maybe even not so obvious) that I missed?
Thanks for reading and any help and/or pointers in the right direction.
