Phone got ****ed up after a failed attempt to root it. - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me start off by saying that i don't want to root the phone, rooting the phone was never my intention, but it had to be done in order to recover some lost messages i urgently needed.
Okay so I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Dual, it was working fine until I had to restore some messages I accidently deleted on Whatsapp, using a program called "Dr.fone", it said i had to root my phone first in order to do it, and when the process is done, it is going to unroot it, So I gave it permission, it restarted my device during the process more than 20 times, and then it said "Failed to root the device", since then my WiFi got ****ed up and keeps closing by itself, my rear camera video mode doesn't work, any camera program such as Retrica works but is lagging terribly to the point where it's not even usable, and my mobile keeps freezing then restarting by itself as the red LED light flashes a few times, I've tried doing a factory reset, flashing a firmware using Emma (but lets be honest i had no idea what i'm doing), doing a repair using Sony Companion, but nothing has worked, so, how do I get rid of any damage that this ****ing program has done to my mobile?
Please keep in mind that once my WiFi turns itself off, there's no way i can turn it on again, unless i restart my mobile which works sometimes, other times it just remains off.

Flash it using flashtool, I will send you latest flashtool and rom, but tommorow not now.

Is your device Sony Xperia Z5 E6633?
If so, I happen to have uploaded the latest firmware for this device for someone else who bricked his phone.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-5Lr_Sntl5ekxMcmFHMFVSdjg
You can flash it using flashtool. You can google it.
Only flash this file if your device is Xperia Z5 E6633 though!

Yes, it's E6633.

Thanks alot for your help, by flashing the firmware you've given me, i've fixed the reboot and the camera problem, But the WiFi problem is still there, any idea what's causing it?
Again, Thanks alot <3.

I am using stock firmware. Didn't unlock my phone or root it. Sometimes I also have this problem. And some others too. It might be a software issue.

[Q] Restart loop(not bootloop) - really weird

Hey lads,
I got a really weird problem and I've tried nearly everything I can think of. I had EMUI 2.3(b121sp06) and I tried the online OTA update to b307 if I remember right(was automatically suggesting the update) and at the update screen it loaded to about 99% and then stopped. Said not to press power while on this screen but obviously it wasn't going to finish. So I reset the phone and it started the "recovery loop", so basically keep trying to apply the update. I had to flash CWM to break out and flashed the whole system by hand(recovery,system,boot,cache,cust and userdata img files) and it starts up but it keeps resetting and seemingly it's random. Android boots up, I don't touch the phone--> boom reset. Weird thing is it even does it in recovery.
If I really want to explain the problem it's like as if my finger got stuck on the power button(that naturally made me think that the button might be f*cked), but booting into fastboot and not having resets cleared my suspicion. What I also noticed is that every time it boots up it doesn't recognize the sim card and I have no signal or whatsoever.
Tried multi tool unbricking method -> doesn't work
Tried factory reset from stock recovery(had to be fast so it doesn't reset before) ->doesn't work
Tried wiping dalvik cache and factory reset from CWM ->doesn't work
Tried killing battery by letting it keep resetting -> battery drained, reset loop stopped ->put the phone on charger->reset loop started again
I have no f*cking clue how can I get out of this, will keep trying though. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hi
Did you try to remove the Sd Card ? Honor 6 reboot is often due to faulty SD Card.
Which model do you have ? L04 ?
B307 upgrade sure ?
Seb
Yes, that was my first idea, still does it though. I have the L02 and I'm not positive it was b307, but it started with 3, could be b303 if there is one.
I don't know for L02 but for L04 there is a Full ROM that you can flash with the three buttons method. (Vol+,Vol-, power and put the ROM in /dload folder on the SD card).
Maybe there is such thing for L02 ?
There is, but as I said the phone restarts even in recovery. It's like the phone restarts every 30 secs except for fastboot.
if it's not SD card or internal flash problem so, it seems to be hardware related to me (
Would make sense but it occurred only after I tried OTA. Would be really surprised if that killed that hardware :-/

Its might be a battery problem Or power flex cable. Try to turn on the phone during charge
guys im facing the same problem now... waiting for any solutions
I have tried stop & uninstall some app
I've tried as quickly as I can when the phone (nokia x) is on, then I stop> uninstall I consider potentially cause this problem (facebook, whatsapp, uc browser) and then it managed to prevent the continuous restarts. but problems arise even though the application had me uninstall and then I restart the phone. and it is back again, I uninstalled the app that has remained with the error settings and restart repeatedly. who knows what else : '(

Did you follow the guide here?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
In the past my battery lost it's endurance pretty much. Furthermore I've read that a defective battery causes lots of weird behaviours on our Honor 6, which was the same to mine.
In my case a replacement of the battery worked well, to get my Honor 6 back to life:

It's not that difficult and lasts approx. 30-45 mins. Spare Batteries are available for 6 - 10 bucks on ebay or directly from the chinese internet stores.

It's really important that we use original chargers for the health of our device.

Help! Can't factory reset/ phone locks constantly after update

Fixed luckily I had wheres my droid installed and setup and could do a remote factory wipe! .. now everytime i open settings it stops working and crashes. anyone have any idea how to fix that?
Im trying to do a repair now using sony companion

URGENT HELP NEEDED -- "com.android.systemui has stopped" bootloop -- Verizon LG G3

URGENT HELP NEEDED -- "com.android.systemui has stopped" bootloop -- Verizon LG G3
I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong section, but I need some urgent help with my phone. I posted in this section hoping to get some quick responses.
I have a LG G3 with rooted stock 4.4.2 rom running xposed.
So I pulled my phone out of my pocket today only to see the Verizon boot logo in effect. I was thinking "that's weird, guess my phone needed to reboot? Strange." But the only problem is it never stopped. It will only boot up to the lock screen and occasionally it will display an error message telling me the systemui has stopped. Then about 10 seconds later, it reboots itself. It continues this process until I pull the battery.
I've tried booting into safe mode, no luck. It doesn't even actually boot into safe mode (it doesn't say safe mode in the bottom left corner.) Then it just reboots again,
I tried wiping the cache, no luck.
I don't want to just do a factory reset because that hasn't seemed to help anyone else with this issue as far as I've seen. I have not found any helpful information on how to fix this problem.
And no, I haven't changed anything lately that could have messed it up. A couple days ago I cut off some wakeup paths for Google Play Services via Greenify, but I don't think that's the cause of the problem.
My question is, what do I do? I feel lost on this subject. Normally I've always been able to diagnose problems on my own, but not in this situation.
I have all my apps and data backed up to Titanium Backup on my SD card if that's of any relevance.
Any suggestions?
If you can go to CWM just flash abother ROM like android L

How would I go about doing that with a device that won't boot up?
I'm not familiar with flashing ROMS and things like that.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to fix it and keep the phone the way it was. I understand that may not be possible though

Softbricked G Flex 2 freezing at start. Boots but unable to start.

Hi everyone.
I have an LG G Flex 2 (H955) that suddenly went on a fritz. It used to be rooted fine, it was on default firmware, 10 something (wouldn't OTA due to rooting), no issues, but as I am a heavy user, enabled multiuser, had a bunch of apps installed and running it started to slow down on occasion, but nothing unexpected. Anyway, few days back, it shut down on its own while I was typing a message and the phone entered bootloop - on it's own. I decided to cut my losses and did the factory reset the hardware way, it booted up, did the "optimizing apps thing", got to welcome screen and - froze - then just restarted. It's been doing that ever since. Sometimes it boots all the way and then freezes and starts, sometimes it gets stuck on LG logo, sometimes even boots and works for a minute or two but still freezes and reboots.
I can access Download mode, and HW factory reset. I flashed several stock ROMs I found with LG flash tool 2014. It goes without a hitch, boots up, again gets to the welcome screen and reboots. I tried to to the dd cmd way to flash the only system.img I found online, but I get a security error at boot. It gets fixed when I flash the stock ROM again with flash tool. I am at my wits end. I have no warranty, I have no backed up original dump. With my limited knowledge I have somewhat of a hunch that one of the partitions might be corrupted as it boots most of the time but as it tries to write or read something from somewhere (hence showing the Welcome screen) it dies.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to what I might try next, or had a similar experience?
Thank you all very much in advance for any help.
Have you tried this tool with the appropriate image?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/p-restore-recovery-to-stock-tool-h950-t3171550
Hi and thanks for the tip. However, no, I have not tried this method as my device is H955, International version, and I am not keen on messing up the phone worse then it already is.
I will look it up in more detail, but as far as I can see it only pertains to the H950 (ATT version)
Edit: I looked it up in detail, and the developer removed the H955 support as there is a KDZ for it and he claims the .kdz is a much better option - however - .kdz does not work for me. It flashes the rom all right, both in Normal and CSE Flash modes, but the problem persists. Turns on (if I'm lucky), freezes, reboots and so on.
D'oh, didn't see the H955 part. :-|
Sorry to hear you are still stuck, can't offer much more unfortunately.
I know one of the flashing modes does a reset, but maybe a reset after the flash might help.. i think it's, from powred off, down plus power until the lg logo then release and then hold power on its own until you get to a recovery screen where you can reset.
you probably already tried that I'm guessing though. taken memory card out if you're using one?

Hi and thanks for yet another tip. However, you guessed right - I tried everything - reset from the recovery, before the flash, after the flash, in the middle of flash, with memory card, without memory card, tons of times - you name it, I've tried it. And still, it boots up (sometimes, though), freezes and go bye-bye. I'm completely out of ideas. If I could somehow rebuild partitions from Download mode, or use ADB, or push some image I found and flash it directly, but there is no way to push files to phone in Download mode (and 5.1.1. disabled external memory, so that is out of the option too).
It seems I'm stuck for now. I'm wondering if the repair guys have some tricks up their sleeves, perhaps with those hardware boxes, jtag something or other...
im on same boat with h955p, any solution?
the battery is the problem 100%. i had the same problem and i managed to fix it with buying a new battery and replacing it. 10$ on aliexpress plus you get the tools and it is really easy to replace.
hi. i was stuck in this situation. you can reflash the original stock rom back from LG UP software. at me this was the problem. my friend have a korean model and at him the 4g data connection was the problem...i was on the update of the marshmellow and freeze and reboot...factory reset didn't do something cool and keeps rebooting...but i was smart and lucky and my brain was thinking at the reflash of the phone...so i was to the reflash so my phone was completely and fully functional...no freeze , no reboot...and look for the v20a italy firmware (stock rom)...i say this because this v20a italy rom is so f***in stable and no battery drain...better than other stock rom marshmellow. Thanks me later.

Did System Update on Galaxy 6 - Now stuck on Samsung Logo...

Hi, I'm in a bit of a rage right now. Need my phone for work, and also afraid of loosing all the pictures and videos I've taken
So my phone has worked perfectly for months, updated several times, but today after the last update it's stuck on the boot logo, the Samsung one.
I've tried hard reset with Power+Down, it just reboots to the same logo and stays there forever. I also can't get into recovery mode with Power+Up+Home, it just gives me a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it for 1 second then boots back to the samsung logo. Tried Kies 3, it doesn't recognice the phone at all, tried everything in there.
The only thing I can access is the Download mode Down+Power+Home, I have no idea what to do there, I've read about Odin but that looks like some NASA-stuff way above my knowledge, isn't there just a way to get it back to previous version? Orginal, stock and all that? Don't wanna mess with roots if that can be done
I'm out of ideas, please help me, are all my data gone? Pictures, video etc? :'(
Help please
*Sorry for bad English, not my native, but I hope it got trough.
Sounds like an update gone wrong. Restoring the phone isn't so hard but saving your pictures and data is harder in most cases. You can try using Smart Switch and see if your device shows up on failed updates, maybie it can repair the installation. You can also use Smart Switch to restore the phone completely, but this DELETES everything on it. If you haven't rooted phone and have warranty, I'd return it to Samsung with strict instructions that phone broke when software update and that you want to keep your data/pictures. If the phone is rooted there are ways to extract data from the phone memory but I'd only do that as a last option.

Yeah, I did the upgrade with modelname and S/N trough Smart Switch, it worked, but all data was lost including all my contact phone numbers, hade over 350 :| don't think they are synced either? :|
Anyway, glad the phone works, will never install these stupid updates again, never noticed a single improvment after them anyways
