Yesterday was watching a youtube video on chrome and just lost systemui, was able to finish the video, and after that phone did nothing else, had to restart...
it plays boot animation and after that there there's just a black screen (backlight on) and nothing else, (phone does not ring if a call, volume keys make no sound)
PS: Since I'm on 4.4.2 with ART, usually it tries to update/optimize one app and after that, there comes the lockscreen
but now, not even try to update app...finish boot animation and there's nothing else....
I know that a dirty install is not good, but since I just need to recover some files (then do I make a clean install)
I guess dirty install is my best option to recover files
my phone is a XT1033 retail_br, with bootloader locked, so i'll need a stock rom*
*= guess a 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 would be the best match, but i'm not sure
can someone help me finding the right files and also explain how to flash a new room and keep user data?
Thanks in advance for anyhelp
Stock ROMs are available from here. Get the correct file for your exact model. You could try flashing these ZIPs through TWRP and seeing if it boots.
If that doesn't work, you could boot into TWRP and use the 'cp' command in Terminal to manually copy files from the /data/ partition to /sdcard/.

Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...
Uhhhmmmm Hello,
I got a Huawei Ascend Y210D Cellphone, and i got it rooted, and i deleted some files, now it wont open, when i open it, it shows the logo and its animation only, it keeps on repeating, until i tried to factory resset , now i could open it , but when i press something like the manage apllications, it says com.process.manage applications has stopped something like that, but when i tried like the sound or display in settings , i could access it, i downloaded an app, now i have clicked the shutdown button , it will display the logo with its animation again, repeating, now i removed the battery, and open it again, it shows the logo with animation again,
Is there a way to fix this??? i cant seem to find a custom rom for this device, do i still need to download a rom or just use some tools to recover the files? i think i havent unlock the bootloader.
really thank you in advance, any answers will be appriciated by me , im sorry if i made a mistake
Have you made a nandroid backup prior to deleting files? If you have, restoring this nandroid backup should fix these problems. You will lose app-data that has been changed after you created the nandroid backup when restoring.
If you have not created a nandroid backup you should try to flash the stock rom as can be found here; huaweiy210d.blogspot.in/2013/04/stock-rom-for-huawei-y210d.html. Note that I do not own this device and have not tested this rom!

Hi.
I installed some dodgy app which required root access to operate (but it didn't even though I allowed it in SuperSu) and this is where my problems started.
First of all, I noticed each and every app I tried to run would immediately crash. That included system apps, such as the Settings app. At that stage I was left with only the launcher working and attempts to uninstall apps would also cause a crash. Even the shutdown menu was broken and the phone hung up so I was forced to reboot it by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
After that, the phone would no longer be able to boot, it was stuck in a boot loop, but recovery still worked (TWRP for that matter) so firstly I wiped the cache partitions (including dalvik cache) but that didn't help, as the phone still wouldn't boot. In this case there was only one thing left for me to try and that was the factory reset capability of TWRP which claimed to not even touch internal storage so I was fine with that and did the wipe.
Thankfully, the phone booted afterwards and it welcomed me with the first startup guide (the language selection dialog was really buggy but that's Huawei's fault) and the phone was seemingly ok, except that the whole internal storage had been wiped out but not only that - the external microsd card was empty as well! Could you believe that? I couldn't. TWRP promised not to touch internal storage and the external memory card wasn't even mentioned but why would it wipe it anyway?
That's for the story behind it, now for the actual problems I'm facing right now:
The stock remote app is gone
The boot animation has changed to a different one (now it's a silver "android" logo instead of the "honor" logo)
Battery usage stats are not available (see: http://i.cubeupload.com/BXCknW.png)
Sound quality from the built-in speaker seems noticeably worse
Hereby, I'm asking you guys to help me out with all of this.
The "remote app missing" problem could be solved by someone sharing their apk file with me, that's probably the simplest one to fix.
As for the boot animation, I have no clue as I don't even know what files are responsible for that.
The same for the battery stats problem, I'm already through a couple of full-charge-to-discharge cycles as well as wiping the cache partition, but the problem remains.
The sound quality probably has to do with the DTS sound enhancer. The config file for that is either "/cust/unicom/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" or "/cust/unicomelectric/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" and I'm asking you to upload these files somewhere so I can compare them with mine to see if anything is different.
The device I'm using is the H60-L02 variant running the B532 ROM.
Does the 3 buttons method erase internal storage as well? I've already set up quite some apps and having to do it again wouldn't be the most pleasant surprise. But at least in this case I could make some backups and whatnot...
Also, would it work if I flashed B535 straight away or does the 3 buttons method expect the same version which is already installed, in this case B532?

It will wipe internal storage. You can flash any *full* ROM as long as you're not moving up or down from kitkat-lolipop/marshmallow.

Okay, so I decided I'd do the whole thing today. I downloaded the full B535 ROM on my PC, backed up all the stuff I care about from the phone to the PC as well, and also I downloaded the MultiTool.
Though the MultiTool thread says this in bold red:
VirusPlus said:
EMUI 3.1 WARNING! Update over rooted or system modded in EMUI 3.1 gives a BRICK.
You have to restore system and REMOVE root before every update in EMUI 3.1 for now.

So I also fired up Titanium Backup in order to defrost all the frozen apps, which went fine, and then I wanted to unroot the phone but I've been unable to do so so far.
To unroot, I launch the SuperSU app, navigate to the "Settings" tab and select "Full unroot". The problem being, it just gets stuck on the screen saying "Uninstalling, please wait...". I don't know how long it usually takes to complete, so far I've waited for maybe 10 minutes and nothing seems to change. Should I care about that? Is that warning about updating rooted/modified EMUI 3.1 resulting in a brick still true?
Can I skip this step and just flash the stock recovery followed by the 3 buttons method?
EDIT:
After some trial and error with the multi tool and different recoveries, I was able to finally unroot. Next, I flashed the stock recovery for B532 and attempted to do the 3 buttons method, but it would say "Install failed. The update package does not exist" (could be because I'm doing the update from a USB flash drive as I don't have an micro sd card big enough to fit the package). So I rebooted the phone into system and used the Updater to perfrom a local update where it would let me pick the USB drive. It completed without errors and then rebooted into some kind of updater (black background and some bluish emui colors) where it also took some time to finish thankfully successfully. I can right now see the phone booting and for what it's worth, the boot animation is once again the good old "honor" logo and not that ugly silvery "android" one
And now it's "Optimizing system...". I really hope it finsishes successfully as it's already a bit late here and I wouldn't like the phone to be unusable tomorrow :laugh:
36% ready...
46% it's kind of fun to watch this, and now 49%
I'd like to thank @pudup once more for helping out, I'm not really that much into flashing recoveries, roms and all that myself. Without your help I would probably be too scared to try doing something on my own :crying:
86%, 89%, 95% and 100%. Aww, what a relief Good old stock lock screen and wallpaper.
Hello all, so after reading a post on how to change your boot animation on the Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920-F But applies to other variants)
I gave it a try, and I decided to use the method where you transfer three files to system\media. So I did, and upon restarting the phone, it wouldn't restart, but instead black out for a few seconds then go back to the lock screen. After this, I panicked (Thinking that I broke it) and reverted the old files to where they were (From a backup I made previous to changing it) and it still does not work. Is there something I can do without reinstalling the ROM (Which in question is the stock ROM) or a method without posing my data? If not, they'd be the last resort. I do have root access (Rooted with CF-AUTOROOT)
Side note: The exact same thing happens when you try shut it down as well, and the only way to shut it down is to use an app that executed a script to shut it down, or booting to the recovery and shutting it down from there. I'm using TWRP recovery. version 3.0.2-0-zerolte (That is the name of the TAR I used to flash)
I was thinking about this for a while and I have this question; Is there a way to log everything the phone does before running into errors, causing it to go back to the lock screen after restarting/shutting down?
If there is any other way to restore it or troubleshoot it, please tell me. I'm reinstalling the ROM as a last resort if anything else lets me down
Other than the boot animation errors I've been having, the phone has been working just fine. Just it boots up way faster then it is meant to do when powering on (No one's complaining about that)
Hi people. Today I needed to install a file inside system/etc/permissions to enable OTG Host. Since I couldn't create a file there, I had the stupid idea of changing the permissions of the system folder. I changed it with root browser, to Owner: read/write/execute (the other stuff was unchecked). My phone turned off instantly, and now it wont turn on at all. Seems like I'm in big trouble. Still, I want to ask if something like that is recoverable somehow, and if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Phone: Samsuing A5
OS: Android 6.0.1
Root: Yes (systemless, with Odin)
Custom Recovery: No
Edit: I just connected the phone to my PC, and it detected a USB device called SAMSUNG_Android. It's weird, the phone seems to be off. Kinda gives me a bit of hope, but I'm a noob with these things.
Edit2: I waited a few minutes and tried to turn it on again. It worked! But now it boots to recovery, so it seems to be a soft brick. Factory Reset doesn't seem to do anything, I guess I'll have to flash a ROM. But I have no idea how to do that. Any help?
Edit3: With the help of a friend, I installed TWRP custom recovery, and used it to flash a Resurrection Remix ROM and GApps. However, I cannot make it reboot into system. It always goes to recovery. When booting, it shows the message "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing", and then opens TWRP recovery. I can see my device has a system folder with stuff in it, but I can't make it boot properly. Any suggestions?
