Problem resolved thanks to bweN diorD!

Hey everyone, I figured this was the right section to post a question, sorry if I was mistaken.
So I recently rooted my phone and tried to install a custom ROM on it, turns out the ROM I selected was probably for the wrong model or something because my screen was just black. So I booted into recovery to try and restore it on the ROM I backed up and it was gone so now I'm kinda ****ed on a phone for now, before I look into buying a new one I wanna see if there's any way I can resolve this and unbrick it.
When I turn the phone on it just loops the booting screen and when I boot into recovery it just has the droid dude with an exclamation mark on it then turns off and does the boot loop.
I was wondering if maybe there's a file I can put on an external drive and it will automatically restore back to stock like on other devices.
I've done a lot stuff like this to my PS3 just never tried it for my phone so I'm just hoping there's a method out there for me, please provide any feedback or questions about it, I'm just trying to get this resolved and I have no time really to research it because of work and a newborn baby plus you guys would know more about it than me so yeah. Thanks!

usually when you flash the wrong software to a phone it is toast, but you may be in luck as it still turns on.
video here.
further instruction here.
if that doesnt work... well its not good unfortunately.

Alright thank you! I'm pretty confident this will work, once the stock ROM file finishes downloading, which it doesn't seem that it wants to work. I've downloaded it 5 times now and every time it's done it's a fail.. I'll keep trying though.

Hello I'm a user of a Sky Vega Iron (IM-A870)
And I need desperate help.
It's not an ordinary boot loop I wish it was, here's the story.
I rooted my phone just to let you know.
So I installed the wrong version of cwd recovery on my phone and so when I go into recovery mode the screen will turn like this.
imgurDOTcom/iOFieHG (sorry I can't you links yet cause I'm new)
But it wasn't a big deal I just didn't use it.
Now is the deal I decided to update my phone to stock kitkat that the vega devs supported themselves with vega station(the stock updating app)
And when it started installing it suddenly went into cwm.
I wasn't that worried at the moment just tried pulling the battery out and rebooting but...it started a boot loop.
I can't navigate cwm because of the way it is and I'm stuck. Is there another way to factory reset? or to get out of the loop?
Maybe a way to get rid of cwm and get back to stock recovery mode? Please help I need help until tomorrow! (personal reasons)
I searched online hours for solutions yet I can't find one.
Please help. I'm begging anyone out there.
Thank You

Think it'll work?

you would need to get to one of 2 places, i thought you couldn't get to either, settings (from booted up) or recovery.
but factory resetting would only remove any data, it will not restore any files or fix your busted cwm.

i cant say that for sure, all im saying is, factory reset does nothing more than wipe data.
if there is an issue in there causing your problem, then yes it will fix it. if your problem is caused by a software issue, then no it will not.

Hello guys,
So... I have samsung GT-S7710 (Galaxy Xcover2).
I had it rooted with prerooted odexed FW (from this post)
So this is the OK part :laugh: .... everything was working fine.
Then, to claim my waranty, i have unrooted it...so I've reseted the counter and flashed it with FW I've backed up from my phone before rooting.
So now for the wierd part...everything was ok, booted my phone, everything was working, then restarted it, and all of the sudden touchscreen stoped working
I've read about bricked touchscreens, but mine worked for some time..
So I was thinking now...should I try and flash official FW for my phone, rather than backed up one ?
Or is there any thing else to do ? Or even...did maybe touchscreen went to *khm* ?
Thank you guys for your time you spent reading & hopefully anwsering this

Thanks for your reply, I've tried this right away.
I've tried with official version (from SamMobile)...I've choosen version for Slvoenia (my country) w/o any provider
But still no sucsess...
Odin sucsesfully flashes, phone boots, and touch doesnt work again (I'm stuck at that starting page...to chose language and so on..)
But like I've said everything else works ok, eg.: power btn, wolume up/down,... only touch doesnt work.

Sorry for the double post..
I've tried to flash ROM that I was using before (rooted one). And now touch even doesnt work in this one.
Is this maybe hardware problem ?

i think you should flash stock rom and give it to samsung maybe.. if it's in warrentee they would get it replaced i guess
hope it helps you

I will do exactly this
One more thing... I've bought my phone in a electronic store (no carier involved). Should I flash it with FW for my country ? What if phone had any other FW on when it was new ?
EDIT:
Just realised....I've flashed rooted FW on my phone...which has increased the counter of custom flashes... To reset the counter I need root permisions...but how if I cant even unlock my phone.
I probably cant use [email protected], because I've hard reseted the phone, which means that Usb debug is disabled (correct me if I'm wrong), so thats of the list..
Do you guys know if any FW has enabled USB debug by default ? Or if there is any other option ?
Hello, i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 U.S. Cellular. Sm 920R4 i believe. Anyways, i was trying to flash TWRP Recovery. When after i did, my device rebooted and took me to the TWRP recovery screen. Expected. But my Touchscreen wouldnt work. So this happened 2 days ago but im still trying to fix it. i decided to try some different versions of TWRP. Well, one of them worked but it reversed my touchscreen. So i managed to get into my os, BACKWARDS. I have been using everything backwards including the keyboard and its driving me nuts. I attempted to flash my stock recovery and stock firmware via odin. Odin says "failed" every tiume i try to flash it, so i moved the zip to my s6, and it still doesn't work. if fails. I dont know what to do. Someone, anyone, please help me. I recently tried flashing a rom and it turned out to be the rom that makes the s6 look like the s6 edge plus. Well, i didnt copy down my imei or serial number before doing it. So i cant use smart switch. I really need someone to just help me out. Even if its just a tweak or something to flip the screen back to normal. Someone please help me. BTW, the secret codes havent worked for me to update the screen. Maybe im doing something wrong, but at the moment the phone doesnt have service

This might not work If you have modified rom, or you will waste a lot of time reverting to stock and back.
Just try flashing a different kernel. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

I have a Custom ROM and it worked for me. Just flashing another Kernel didn't work for many users who tried that and this (on my link) worked for everybody.
Sam-g920r4
do not tell me where you can take the firmware service (4 files and PIT) for G920R4
Details
What Kernel? and the special codes DO NOT work with the phone at all. Im freaking out. Haven't fixed it. Please reply. Thank you.

How do you mean that they don't work? Nothing happen when you dial them? Do you have custom ROM or did you unabled or uninstall any of the sistem apps?
How about the twrp app. If you have root access you can change the version of twrp

So I flashed a rom-upgrade type thing that makes the phone look like an s6 edge plus
If i had my imei i would be fine but i dont have it
The codes dont work, typed and retyped them a million times
What rom could i flash to have access to the codes, and what kernel to fix the x axis did you flash? a quick reply would help a lot. Thanks for your time. I do appreciate a lot. And yes ive tried smart swith and odin with stock firmware. It fails. I only have one file that i was flashing though. Maybe there was more.

I had just installed cm13 nightlies onto my opo device and everything was working fine. I had left the phone to charge overnight and in the morning I had found it stuck on a boot loop. I have searched the forums and have found out I have a similar problem to the person in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/stock-opo-soft-bricked-off-night-t3145896 but I actually have my device as rooted.
I tried to wipe my device on twrp but get the error that I am unable to mount anything (cache, data, storage). I then went to the mount option in twrp and then found out that it stated that my internal storage was 0mb.
In then tried to flash an os onto my device using the fastboot but received an error "FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition) and thus was unable to do so.
Overall my bootloader and recovery still work and I am able to detect my device on cmd but I have no idea how to fix this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, but I just ended up in basically the same situation. I flashed stock and hopefully it works. Still doing the first boot now. Definitely should get the warning out. No clue the cause and all of my data is gone, so no logs.

Hey I am unable to flash anything since my device does not even detect the internal storage properly and thus is unable to write files when on fastboot mode.

Give this a shot. There's a hard brick fix apparently. I luckly wan't completely boned, but there are fixes for partition tables, and that's one of them. There's another one floating somewhere here on XDA that I can't seem to find at the moment. Bookmarked that one though in case when I got the phone. I tend to break things, though almost never permanently.

I dont think I can use that method as I am not completely hard bricked, I can still access the recovery and bootloader so I think im only classified as softbricked .

You can always use a method that's MORE extreme than your brick state, just not ones that are less. You can still boot into something, so you aren't screwed, but if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll dig up the other hard brick guide if you can't find it. I know I'm staying away from CM13 roms from now on though.

Do you happen to know what firmware you are running? I'm wondering if that's part of the issues as I changed my firmware recently, and had similar issues. Just trying to sort the cause as best as I can.
Hey I followed all the instructions but on the last step the green text appears, a loading bar shows up and then the text flashes red and the loading bar disappears the ComEe is still visible but nothing seems to be happening, is this supposed to happen?
I have also tried to use qfil and that did not seem to work. Does this mean it is a hardware problem?
