[Q] I'm stuck on a bootloop ! (C2/Ville)

Hello guys !
Today i decided that i want to unlock the bootloader for my htc one S C2. Managed to do that and managed to root it too. I installed TWRP (version 2.6.3.0) using a guide made by our firend, Bipe ( link here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175411 ) flashing it from my PC.
All went incredibly good ! Then,i decided that i should flash a new ROM.
I downloaded VIPER ROM and transfered it to my phone via USB. Now...silly me...decided to FULLY WIPE all the data on my phone,using TWRP's advanced wipe settings. I did that. All good. Then i recieved a message from recovery saying that my phone is not succesfully rooted or something similar and they gave me the option to install a new SuperSU. I accepted,by mistake,of curse,knowing that my phone is succesfully rooted after i used the Root Checher app from the Play Store. And then spoof... my phone stuck into a bootloop. Couldn't flash the ROM because i wiped all the data from my SD card,and also i have no backups saved. Furthermore my pc seems to not recognize the phone !
Using the same cable and the same USB slot it detected my old htc wildfire.
Please help me to get my phone back on track

If you can access twrp look to sideboard your rom again.

i can acces TWRP . how do i do that if i don't have any backup made ?

If you can access twrp, than you can try to use the order
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
...to copy a rom to you sdcard. Than you have the chance to flash the rom again.
But in general... Stuck at the bootloop is a famous failure.
If you are S-On (readable at the bootloader) you have to flash the Boot image after flashing any custom rom by extracting the boot.img outside the rom.zip and using the fastboot order
fastboot flash boot boot.img
In general I recommend to flash your phone to S-off when you want to flash custom roms - it makes many things more easier! You can get s-off in example with moonshine s-off.
Hope this could help

I'm no expert but if you are S-ON and you can see fastboot usb, then your phone is still fixable IMO.

you can flash a stock rom

[Q] to root or not to root

Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix

you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot

Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it

NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,

Troubleshhoting ROOT problem, please help!

So here's the thing. I have a Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915T (UVU1ANK3) I wanted to root it and am stuck in a state I cannot seem to get out of after searching all over the internet for. I got TWRP on the phone but that's about it, the interesting thing that I challenge anyone to help fix is how to get SuperSU on the internal SD from my computer since I cant get the phone to go past the Note Edge startup screen (I'll come back to this) and when I plug the phone into the computer it won't recognize it to pull up the storage. The other problem is in TWRP, it says there is no OS installed so I cannot do anything on the phone at all other than TWRP and the flashing screen. When I try to install ROM's I get an error code of fused 2> binary 1 not sure what all that stuff means.
In Summary:
1. No OS installed
2. SuperSU unable to put in internal SD
3. Fail to flash ROM's to phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried flashing via adb? And tell me whats the version of yor twrp btw. You might need to switch in cwm recovery though as that one worked for me in my gsmart phone

Okay I'll start from the important to the less.
1/3.No OS installed:
Make sure you are using the latest and the correct twrp for your device (TWRP 3.1.0) through odin
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4092902
Or twrp recovery -or any other custom rom-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4092901
And you can try installing a custom ROM through it
P.S you can't flash official tar or tar.md5 files through twrp
Or get into download mode and flash official frimware with odin
2. Rooting:You got 3 options
-moving it after flashing the firmware through odin -or a custom rom-
-puting the SD card in another phone to move the zip file to it
-using card reader to move through pc
works also if you couldn't port the right zip custom

[Completed] Help with reinstalling bootloader

Hi.
I am relatively experienced user who has rooted and installed custom roms on samsung galaxy and HTC desire phones before.
I have now attempted to root my alcatel onetouch pixi 4 (4034X) using instructions from this thread :- https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/alcatel-one-touch-pixi-4-t3376597
I got as far as flashing twrp recovery and now the phone is stuck in constant reboot. I downloaded alcatels mobile upgrade tool in hopes of reflashing the stock rom but it seems to be looking for a later rom than the one I have installed and keeps telling me I have the lastest and so wont flash.
So can I recover from this at all or have I just bricked my phone? Is there a way to FORCE the mobile upgrade tool to reflash the current rom rather than looking for an upgrade?
It seems that everything except the bootloader is intact so is there another tool I can use to restore the bootloader?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like I managed to unbrick using a combination of SP Flash tool and an SPFT rom for the 4034X I found on the internet. will now try reflashing a different recovery tool.

O.K. so I think what is happening is an issue when unlocking the bootloader and not when flashing recovery.
This is what I did:-
1. Enabled developer mode.
2. Turned on usb debugging and unlocked bootloader oem
3. Rebooted phone, plugged in cable and accepted connection authorisation.
4. From windows typed adb reboot bootloader. Went into to fastboot.
5. Typed fastboot oem unlock, Pressed volume up on phone.
At this point I was put back in fastboot but none of the buttons worked and the phone looked like it had frozen. Was It wiping data at this point? There was no indication that it was doing anything.
I removed the battery and reinserted but when I restarted I got the same boot loop problem. Had to restore stock firmware AGAIN.
Am I doing something wrong?

Update: I managed to install caliv touch recovery without unlocking the bootloader by using the same sp flash tool I used to restore the stock rom. However, I cant install root. The recovery will only let me sideload and I could only find the chainfire SU binaries for sideload (SuperSU 2.78-SR1 and superSU 2.46). Both of these seem to flash ok using adb sideload with ctr recovery but the phone hangs at the boot logo. I also had superuser-r197 (ph's sueruser) but that wouldn't sideload.
So I now have a custom recovery but still can't root
Has anyone succesfully rooted the 4034X (UK)? If so, how?

Hi & welcome to xda-assist,
you can try to force the installation of supersu systemless by this step, chances are good that this will make it boot properly.
boot into twrp >go to the terminal > and type:
echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu
Don't know if the recovery you use has this terminal option but it's very likely.
You can do additional a Google search on "force SuperSU systemless" to get more information / background information..
Good luck

Thanks for your reply Sam.
I only read that after I had found a copy of a CM13 Rom that worked with The 4034X. I basically flashed superSU first then did a wipe, then installed the custom rom and google apps nano before downloading the supersu apk from google play and reinstalling. Now I have a rooted phone with a custom rom and am somewhat happier. The reason I wanted to root was to remove the bloatware that was taking up 1.5 GB of my already measly 2GB internal memory and this new ROM only takes up .5 GB.
I still have some pain. For example many of the Rom Toolbox Pro functions don't work and I think its because the system image seems protected and refuses to mount rw no matter what I do. Even issuing a remount command using the device name from cat /proc/mounts tells me the block device is read only. I also seem to be unable to verify if I have busybox or install it due to the same reason.
It also took me some time to work out that the boot animations weren't stored in /data/local or /system/media but to /data/system/theme.
This used to be so much easier in the days of ice cream sandwich and lollipop. Ah well!

Update:- Managed to flash busybox 1.26 using a flashable zip via adb sideload in Caliv Recovery (Caliv can't see my adopted storage for some reason).
I'm happy now! Would still like to have a rw system so I can remove some system apps I don't use but its no biggie.

Help! I m stuck on bootloader screen.

So I was trying to root my oneplus 7 which had Android 10 but due to complexities I decided to downgrade it to 9.5 and flash twrp and root. Everything went well. But then I decided to upgrade again to Android 10 keeping the root. I flashed rom using twrp and then flashed twrp again using twrp. Then when I went in again to flash magisk after reboot, twrp showed me the partition error and it was showing me 0mb for internal storage. I searched up solution for it and found that changing partition to ext 4 and again to ext 2 might work...but it again showed me some partition error while doing so..(I think I erased system while doing this process by mistake) then all it was showing was "no os installed* then I slides to reboot and bang I m stuck on bootloader screen since then. No matter whatever I press (reboot, recovery,fastboot) I keep going back to bootloader screen. I m using Ubuntu and it's not not detecting my phone for adb push. I don't know what to do now. I m not able to access recovery and twrp. Please help

Go to the thread that uses msmtool

@Arun210222..... I don't know what to do now. I m not able to access recovery and twrp. Please help[/QUOTE]

Don't worry...
Try the Msm tool to unbrick and it worked for me

Hi .
If you after flash twrp installer click on reboot to system , your phone be soft break., Because you must click on reboot to recovery and after it flash magisk.
