[Problem] Device freezes after SuperSU installing (brick?) - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i used the following guide to root my Sony:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-sony-xperia-z5-unlock-root-tweaks-t3298224
As i have written there in the last comment i just used "unlock bootloader" and "flash recovery". That was working good but after trying to root the device by installing SuperSU i can no longer start it.
I only geht the first screen with white background and "Sony" and nothing more happens. But I can turn it off (using sound and power buttons) and go to recovery mode of TWRP.
My question is now: Can i rescue my phone? How about a factory reset to get everything back to life? (and how to do so?)
For me it is most important to get the phone work again.
Thanks for helping,

Flash a kernel using fastboot mode. SuperSu is systemless in MM, so flashing a kernel should fix your problem.

The Problem was solved by good suggestions in the main Thread.
Tank you

Help with rooting

Hello...I"m hoping I can get a little assistance with rooting...
I'm following the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737724
I've installed the drivers initially on a windows 8.1 x64 laptop (i've since installed on a win 7 32-bit machine). I kept getting:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
I pulled the battery and when I try to start the phone up it goes straight to this screen again.
I pulled the battery again, went into download mode, and flashed philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar recovery img and it rebooted fine (unlike the cf-auto root.)
Everytime I try to do the first step of the guide (cf-root), I receive the same message. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction? Yes i'm new to samsung devices but have been flashing htc phones for years...clearly this is a different process. Thanks again for any assistance!
ALSO....even after pushing the recovery img through odin (at least it seems to reboot my phone).....turning the phone off...and then holding vol up+home button+power DOES NOT take me into recovery...it just takes me back to the screen with
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
Is there anyone who can assist me?
EDIT
I went ahead and installed a the stock 4.4.4 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/stock-rom-ni3-kitkat-rom-t2886171
This apparently restored my recovery img and I was able to boot into the stock recovery. I attempted the process of cf auto root again using this file: CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 and the result was the same. Immediately after it tries to restart I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
I again pulled the battery and powered into download mode to flash a recovery. The file I used was: philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5
This booted my phone back into the normal rom. I tried to use SuperSu but it says that I don't have root. I went ahead and reflashed the stock rom and once again I have stock recovery. Not sure why this is happening, but it appears that cf auto root is removing my recovery. I'm probably wrong, but I'm looking for input from anybody in this community.
Any help?
Solved the issue following suggestions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57022287&postcount=24
Instead of flashing cf-auto root first, flash the custom recovery first. Then let your phone boot up and then power it down. Hold up + home button + power and get into recovery...wait for few seconds as it will show the same message as before and then it'll let you into recovery. I selected reboot now and it prompted me for root...select yes. Done.
:good:
Still not getting root
I went through all the steps on CF's Auto Root listing and ended up with the same issue. I followed the above instructions to reset and was able to get the phone to reload fully. I have since been able to install TWRP, however I still can't get root access on my phone.
I can reboot to Recovery and get the same announcements. However, if I wait a sec or two it does proceed to TWRP, but upon reboot I get no root access. SuperSU won't proceed and root checker verifies that I have no root access.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm...so all I can suggest is the little steps I took. Flash the full rom again...ODIN the recovery (philz)...let boot up....shut down...and vol down +home button+power to get into recovery...select reboot...should be prompted to install root.
Worked
Got it rooted, thanks. Now to find a good ROM.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop, recover files

Hello.
Today my oneplus one was suddenly stuck in bootloop. This happened in the middle of the day when I rebooted my phone. My phone was running the latest update that came OTA (stock lollipop). Whenever I boot my phone it starts loading and suddenly a Chrome (browser) window appears for 1 second and tries to load a website. Afterwards my lock screen pop ups for 1 seconds and it starts to reboot. During the lockscreen I tried to unlock my phone as soon as possible, but it just reboots. (Any ideas about this weird problem?)
I CAN boot it in recovery mode by holding volume-down button and power button.
I CAN boot it in fastboot mode by holding volume-up button and power button.
Perhaps a factory reset will do the trick, but I don't have a backup of my files (because this happened so suddenly without me trying to flash/customize my phone). My first priority is recovering my files, because most solutions will end up in me losing every file. Unfortunately I've found little possibility to do this during the bootloop problem. I've tried to flash TWRP because it could make backups of my phone. I tried it through ADB/Fastboot, but it failed because my device is not unlocked (I can't go to settings and put my phone in developer mode and debugging mode). So I've read somewhere that unlocking my phone (bootloader?) through ADB will wipe my phone, which is exactly what I don't want.
Also I've tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
But It also failed because my device was not unlocked.
Did I miss some steps somewhere or did I read something wrong?
Hopefully anybody has an idea to either fix the bootloop without losing my data, or finding a way to recover my files before wiping the phone.
Thank you.

Unfortunately you might be stuck in a catch-22 situation here. In order to access the files you'd need to unlock the bootloader, but in doing so you'd lose those files. Without usb debugging already enabled I can't see a way out of this.
Decided to unlock the bootloader through ADB. (bye bye data)
After I've unlocked it, I've tried installing TWRP.
Some minor problems occured but I can finally boot into TWRP through volume-down button + power button.
I've decided to download the stock ROM i've found on the OPO forums.
Couldn't acces my phone through normal methods, so I had to use ADB to push the files into my phone.
Installing the file through TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik and installed super user before rebooting.
After rebooting my phone is stuck on the boot screen now. (This also happened before I installed TWRP on my phone)
I've also tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Also no succes. I'm stuck in the bootscreen where it says 'cyanogen'.
EDIT: Managed to fix it eventually through: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061 (part 2) writing the command in TWRP.
Phone finally boots normally again.

First I've tried to flash cyanogenmod 12 through TWRP (file is found here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm12s-yng1tas17l-installation-guide-review-change-log.304615/)
Afterwards I was still stuck in bootscreen, so I've looked for another solution.
Which made me find this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
After flashing this file (probably the same thing) the problem still remained.
Eventually after multiple wipes/factory resets (which did not solve the problem) I've entered the command in TWRP and after reboot it finally worked again.
So I basically flashed my phone twice, once through TWRPS and the other through the batch file (perhaps ADB?).
Also no errors occured which stopped the flashing and commands. Did have to reinstall TWRP and reboot instantly in it by holding the volume down button multiple times. This doesnt happen anymore though.
Only had to install google apps for CM12 (gapps), for which I used TWRP in recovery mode.
Currently reinstalling most apps on my phone and no problems yet.

[Guide] How to fix "Device only boots into recovery"

This guide is intended for the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, but it may work on other devices if you have the same issue.
The problem: You can only boot into recovery, and bootloader/download mode.
What you need: Stock Recovery, Odin v3.10.6 (This is what I used at least), TWRP Recovery and TrapKernel.
Download those and when you are done boot your device into Bootloader/Download mode.
Guide for 'beginners'
Connect it to your computer.
You should already have TrapKernel flashed then good, if not then flash if by clicking BL(It doesn't make a difference from what I have noticed, if you choice BL or AP but in my case I choice BL) and selecting it TrapKernel. Hit start.
Your device will start normally. This Doesn't fix your problem yet. Turn your device off and boot back into Bootloader/Download mode.
Click BL again and select the stock recovery you downloaded.
Click start.
Your device is now booted normally, but yet again this is expected and doesn't fix the problem.
Turn your phone off. It will boot into recovery again, scroll down and click "Reboot into Bootloader"
Now hold your power, vol down, and home button until your device turns off and turns on.
It will prompt you, hit vol up.
Now go back into Odin and hit BL again, and find TWRP recovery.
Hit start and it will, once again start your device normally.
Your device is now fixed. Don't believe me? Power off and power it back on. It will boot normally.
For more experienced people that just want the basics of what to do:
Flash TrapKernel if you haven't already.
Flash Stock Recovery (By itself), then flash TWRP Recovery(By itself).
Your problem should be solved.
Have any problems or think I didn't explain this good enough? Tell me. I am open to constructive criticism.
Very important root necessity
very important root necessity before you try to root your phone you must go to the developers options and check the "device to allow OEM bootloader unlock"this way it can allow the bootloader to be unlocked and you can then gain root. Sincerely Bricked for days.
Your sir are a savior
I'm sorry if I come off as crazy. BUT THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH. I just got done typing out a lengthy reply in the rom's forum about the "Device reboots into recovery" issue. I wish I had read around for your reply. Jesus man, you saved my bacon. I will like your post. Both of them.

Warning: Current Pixi 4 (4) 4034N will softbrick if you unlock the flash

Hi all,
I thought it be good to warn all Alcatel Pixi 4 (4) owners. The current version of the stock rom of the 4034N, which is sold here in the NL has what I think is a terrible bug.
If you enable unlocking in the development options, go to the fastboot, all it takes is to unlock the flash and your phone will get stuck in the boot animation.
I tried to recover by formatting /data (/data is destroyed as could be expected to protect the userdata), but it does not solve the problem.
Flashing a custom ROM like CM13 solves this problem, but I bet this is the reason why I see so many calls on the Internet for Stock ROMs for the 4034N. Have not found a good stock ROM for it and also Alcatels Mobile Upgrade site does not seems to support the 4034N (probably still one software version for it, so no upgrade required yet?).
So better know what you are doing when messing with this phone.
Anybody got the same experience (I can confirm that this was tested by me and my friends with three different Pixi 4's)...
Best regards,
Peter
Good news!
I found out that there is a global site from Alcatel where you can find an update of Alcatels Mobile_Upgrade_S_4.5.9 which DOES support the 4043N.
The good news is not only that this software can bring your phone back to stock ROM, but also that if your Flash is unlocked before you recover, it is still unlocked after the recovery. So rooting is very simple then. Cost me 2 minutes to do it:
adb boot recovery.img (you can boot the twrp bootimage from ADB, no need to flash it) and then directly install the superuser.zip
Presto!
I think I'm seeing the same problem with a 4034X (UK variant, as sold by Tesco Mobile). Unfortunately, the mobile update software isn't working for me as it's detecting that I've already got the latest version of the ROM installed already and won't let me install it again. AIUI, the CM13 system has a few issues, so I'd rather not go that root, so would still like a stock ROM if at all possible. Anyone have any pointers?
Hmm. Have managed to get beyond the resetting user data boot loop with the following procedure:
* boot to recovery (power + vol up)
* from recovery menu, choose "boot to bootloader"
* at bootloader, connect via USB to PC
* run "fastboot -w"
* run "fastboot boot <filename for twrp recovery image>"
* at twrp recovery menu, run the standard "wipe" options
* reboot
Haven't yet finished booting, but it's gone to the standard boot animation, which I never succeeded in getting to before.
Update: 8 minutes and counting into the boot process. Doesn't look like it's going to work.
One question worth asking: does this mean that *all* operations that cause a factory reset on an affected 4034 cause a boot loop? Or is it only unlocking the boot loader?
I managed to soft brick my 4034X simply by allowing my email program to encrypt the device. The encryption apparently failed and now it's stuck on boot animation. As @jh3141 said, the Acatel upgrade tool doesn't work. I guess I need to find a stock ROM, but my Googling hasn't found one yet. Can anyone help?

Any luck with the UK version 4034X?
I'm stuck in the booting process just like you were.
me too - Pixi 4(4) chaos on unlocking.
Absolutely the same experience here.
I have nuked 2 of these trying to unlock. It is a brilliant phone, but this is a painful feature - as you describe.
My history is in one of the threads on this site. - I agree, I would love a stock ROM for it.

I also softbricked my 4034X after unlocking the bootloader and couldn't get the phone to boot into recovery or the bootloader. I eventually managed to flash a stock ROM with SP Flashtool as described here https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-official-stock-rom-on-alcatel-pixi-4-4/ - this restored the ability to boot into recovery or bootloader but the ROM wouldn't boot so I couldn't enable developer settings to allow OEM unlocking. I then tried flashing the ROM for the dual-SIM version of the 4034X (risky!) and this booted and I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery. The next problem was when & flashed CM13 and got an error message saying that TWRP couldn't access /data. It then got stuck in a recovery bootloop. Next I used TWRP to format all the partitions but it still couldn't access /data and broke the ability of the Mobile Upgrade Tool to read the phone. My next step is to try flashing a different custom recovery but I'm rapidly losing the will to live and would be very interested in any suggestions.
UPDATE - got it sorted by re-flashing the dual-SIM 4034X ROM (even though I have the single SIM version!), flashing ctr-6.6-4034 recovery, doing a normal wipe then formatting the /data partition then flashed CM13. I guess the data partition must have got corrupted.
I have exactly the same problem with pixi 4 4043f. I unlocked bootloader and then flashed following your instructions on that link you shared. But I see is a white screen frozen no options shown just booting voice behind.... I have flashed it several times but same results I still cant entry fastboot or recovery... Volume down + power or volume up + power dn take me anywhere just that frozen white screen with booting ring tone in the back and thats it... Kindly guide me
i had a similar problem, but i always wanted to flash cm13, so i was fine.
There is an amazing thread here for our device.
For those of you with the 4034X, i have ported cm13 to it specifically, bu there are too many bugs, but if anyone wants it, just tell me!
also, can i just say, softbrick if you oem lock aswell :,(
i wanted to test something, but after fastboot oem lock, and then fastboot reboot, i get an android being repaired? key combo's not working, adb/fastboot not responding, can't remember how i fixed it when i oem unlocked ...
edit-
got into recovery with key combo, now it's just to fix it!
Can any of you guys with the 4034N try this method of rooting? Without unlocking the bootloader?

For reference: I tried this on a stock 4034X and it failed (couldn't persuade it to boot the custom recovery without going through the full unlock process). Fortunately, there are now copies of the stock ROM available for download (e.g. https://androidfrog.com/a3nr9) so with any luck I won't need to go back to the dodgy CM13 port that constantly runs out of memory and soft-reboots...
Update: I've installed the stock ROM I linked to above, and it seems to be working pretty well. Only issue was that the scatter file that came with it was apparently broken. Fortunately, one that I had hanging around from attempts to fix this problem last time seemed to work with it. I've attached that to this message in case anyone else needs it.

Thanks, I'll be sure to add a notice for 4034X users in the Magisk guide. I have yet to see a stable CM13 ROM for MT6580 with 3.18.19 kernel. There seems to be an issue with this device chip and ROMs.
Finally got root on the Pixi4-4034
Hi everyone,
yeah I finally managed to root the alcatel Pixi 4-4 (4034) (3G MODEL). It was really tricky and there are quite some issues you have to deal with.
Therefore please read carefully my instructions and remember I am not responsible for any inconvenience, do it at your own risk.
First of all you have to unlock the bootloader and here comes the first problem. On the Pixi4 this operation leads to a sotfbick because the unlocking process deletes completely the data-partition. The phone can't boot anymore and ends in a bootloop.
To resolve this problem you must reflash the phone with SP-Flash-Tool. After reflashing the bootloader remains unlocked so that you should be able to continue with the rooting process. The second problem is that I could find only one working ROM for flashing. It is for the 4034X, my phone was a 4034D (dual SIM), after flashing I had an 4034X what means that my Pixi became a single-SIM phone, I can live with that.
Here are the necessary steps to obtain root on the Pixi4
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
- Go to settings -> about phone -> hit many times on "build number" till developer message appears
- Enable "OEM unlocking" located in developer options.
- Switch also "USB debugging" on
- Open the command prompt window (cmd)
- Connect the phone to the PC
- Boot into fastboot-mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader"
- Confirm the debug authorization window on the phone, check "always allow from this computer" (afterwards phone should boot into fastboot, otherwise retype the command above)
- Unlock bootloader by typing "fastboot oem unlock"
WARNING: this deletes the data-partition leading in a softbrick and bootloop,
you have to reflash the phone afterwards to continue rooting!
- Confirm the unlocking with the volume-up key
2. REFLASHING THE PHONE
- I found only this working firmware for the 4034X on this page like described by jh3141:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/warning-current-pixi-4-4-4034n-t3463154/page2
- You have also to use the scatter file described by jh3141
- After loading the scatter-file in SP-Flash-Tool you have to link the missing img-files in the SP-Flash-Tool-Window
- If you flash the 4034X firmware over an 4034D you will end in a single-SIM phone instead of a dual-SIM.
- After flashing the phone will boot again so that you can continue with flashing the twrp-img.
3. ROOTING THE PHONE
- To root the phone you have to install the twrp-image, the one for the Pixi 4034 you find it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68049551&postcount=97
- Download and untar the file at the bottom of the page: twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.tar
- Open the command prompt window (cmd)
- Connect the phone to the PC
- Boot into fastboot-mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader"
- Flash twrp by typing "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.img"
- Download Super-SU "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" from
https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/
and put the zip-file on the phone (external or internal storage)
- With the phone switched off boot into twrp by holding power and volume-up keys togehter
- In twrp go to "Advanced" -> "Terminal" -> Type the following code:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
- Go back and choose "Install" -> flash the Super-Su-file (SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip)
- Reboot and you’re done, you have root and super-su on the PIXI4
- If you want to uninstall system-apps proceed to the next step.
4. UNINSTALLING BLOADWARE APPS
- You can’t uninstall system-apps directly from the Android-OS,
if you delete the apps with some uninstall-tools it’s strange but the phone will reinstall them after a reboot.
- To succeed you must uninstall the apps in twrp
- Be careful, uninstalling the wrong apps will end in a bootloop or bootfreeze and you will have to reflash the phone starting at step 2.
- Boot into twrp -> go to "Mount" -> check "System" -> go back and choose "Advanced" -> "File Manager"
- In file-manager navigate to the appropriate app-folders and delete the .apk-files
- IMPORTANT: before rebooting you have to wipe the dalvik-cache
- Go to "Wipe" -> "Advanced Wipe" -> CHECK ONLY "Dalvik / ART Cache"
- Confirm wipe and reboot
I personally like the Pixi4-4034, it’s a very small one that is very useful as second phone especially on holidays .
Have fun.

I have exactly the same problem. But I haven't been able to find this Mobile_Upgrade_S_4.5.9. Any help will be greatly appreciated,
thnx,
Herman
update: i found the mobile upgrade tool. But it says the latest firmware is already installed. Earlier i tried spft, flashing seemed to go well but the phone stays in animation/bootloop.
Can anybody help?

problem rooting now cant get bootloader

I just tried to root my S7 using ODIN and CF-Auto-Root (I've done this before without issue).
It failed for some reason and now I cant get into the bootloader. Vol up Home and power takes me to an 'updating' screen then a yellow exclamation, and finally what looks like the stock recovery?
The only useful option I have is 'apply update from adb'
How can I root and flash TWRP from here?
Thanks!
Ok one step forward two steps back.
I made a mistake - I was pressing vol up not vol down to get into the downloader.
I've now flashed twrp-3.0.2-4-herolte.img.tar but the phone seems to be stick in a loop!
I can boot to TWRP ok, but when booting normally it just loops.
Ok I'm getting there...
re-downloaded and installed TWRP. It seems to have worked this time and boots the system normally afterwards.
But I still dont have root.
I also tried factory reset (from android menu and TWRP) both fail and nothing is reset.
I followed this guide http://www.stechguide.com/root-galaxy-s7-and-install-twrp-recovery/
If you have TWRP, then just flash supersu for root
Download the Superuser Binary .zip from the Internet and flash it through your now working TWRP Recovery..?
You managed to get the Bootloader working because you formatted the data and that deleted everything including the Root binary. So you just have to download it again and flash!
Let me know if I got you wrong in any way because this seems like a quick fix.
