[Q] Need help. Bricked My phone

OK so, I'm not a super noob but I'm also not an expert so I may understand certain terms.
Thank you so much for reading this and this thread is awesome because like me people out there really need help.
Really appreciate the work done here.
I usually follow you guys tutorials and stuff and always manage to come out successful without making a post like this one.
But I got to tell you this phone got me beat.
SO here we go.
I purchased a chinese mobile device, specifically a Tethin TX300 and after messing around with it I changed permission to the system/app folder and now it's stuck in a boot loop. Can anyone help? Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks

Isn't it possible to access the recovery on the phone to do a device reset?..

Thank you for your fast answer. Yes it is possible to access recovery mode. I have already tried to do a factory reset/wipe data but that didn't help. Any other ideas? Is it possible to restore permissions using adb ? Thanks

[Completed] How do I unbrick my phone?

First of all, I'd like to say that I know very little about how Android, electronics or mobile phones work in general, so everything I've done has been from internet tutorials. Please don't use any jargon as I probably won't know what you mean. ELI5.
A few days ago, I tried to root my phone and it didn't work. As a result the phone went into a boot loop and I didn't know how to fix it. The long and short of it was that I ended up flashing the stock firmware onto my phone and basically doing a complete factory reset. After some time trying this I managed to get the phone to start up and I was able to access the interface and all that. Unfortunately, my WiFi wasn't working (the button would simply turn off whenever I turned it on) so I had no way to download the most recent updates or apps or anything like that. After following several tutorials on how to fix this, such as flashing the modems and bootloader, I still wasn't having any luck. So I tried something that proved to cause even more problems - I tried to install a new kernel. Now my phone won't even boot past the logo. I probably didn't install the right one, but what can I say, it's not very clear which one I need.
Now I'd like to point out that as a layman who just wants his phone to work again, half of the time I don't understand what I'm doing or whether or not I'm doing it right. In other words, I realise that I've probably messed up my phone, but what can I do? I can't take it to a technician because I don't have the money for that, I can't buy a new phone for the same reason and I can't phone up and ask for a replacement because the warranty expired ages ago and I don't have the original documents here.
I've installed the Team Win Recovery Project on my phone and I have Odin installed on my PC as well.
TLDR; yes, I know I'm an idiot and I don't appreciate you telling me. I'd like to reset my phone to how it was before - the normal firmware, the normal kernel and all that, but I'd still like to have root access and keep the TWRP recovery mode too.

You'll probably need more information, so if you do just let me know and, if possible, where I can find it.

I have some good news. I managed to flash the firmware again and now I can access the phone again. However, the WiFi problem persists. I've tried looking on the internet for a solution, but I can't find one. I've tried flashing the modem and all that stuff, but it still doesn't work.
Oh, and by the way, I no longer have TWRP and I don't think I have root access anymore either (I had to do a data partition wipe as well).

I'd really appreciate a reply from someone. I've tried everything, but to no avail.

[Completed] elephone p2000 working but totally mesed up, read please and help

have elephone p2000 with some custom rom on it and working stock recovery. than i flash new rom called resrom 1.5, rooted BUT internal storage is access denied and 0kb. Just to say that my usb port is broken and will be hard to replace it because someone was trying to make it work and totaly screwed up.
So anyway I cannot connect to a pc and fix things. Next, cant access recovery, tried to flash new one but to no avail. I am still rooted but even when using some apk to flash new rom or recovery i get msgs like "not enough space" or nothing is happening.
info on the phone:
ELEPHONE P2000 MT 5692
4.4.2
MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35.P8.2014/11/03
KERNEL 3.4.67 [email protected] #1
BUILD P2000_20150228_RESTORN
Play store ok, calls and the rest is fine, apk i am using: mobileuncle, rashr, auto flasher but nothing gets job done, flashyfy doesn't work and many others. I was looking into init files saw some guide but don t want to mess things even more so i gave up, also wanting to flash boot.img but no proper or functional apk for it.
somethimes on phone start stuck in a loop of screen turn on for 20 sec and then off and its like that until i remove battery, all before rom logo, same thing if i try use buttons combination for recovery or whatever i press in any combination nothing changes.
This is not my first smartphone but is of this kind and funny companies, had problems before with Sony, Samsung but in this extent never, always find YOU guys everybody clever in some fields and as a community more than THE BEST, as you can see i dont post or seek answers by asking, i rather research until now. I fell hopeless, useless and never more stupid, or i m just tired of looking for the answer. In some other case i would give it to my child to play the games an to hell with this phone but its my wife's and she dont want to by a new phone for some reason. Help me to be the man of the house again, kidding, loosing it....
I think I gave you overall picture of the phone state and someone might show me the way to have fully working phone. I forgot, if you are wondering how do i charge battery, well I take it out twice a day and charging on the base of other broken phone, that part i did cover, help me with the rest.
p.s my SD card is working most of the time so this is my only connection to a pc....

[Completed] boot-problem on Huawei Y6

Heyhey,
I'm new to this forum and quite the noob in general but here goes.
I have an Huawei Y6, SCL-L21 with android 5.1 (I think it was 5.1, it was definitely 5.something). Following a youtube-video (Apparently I can't link to it), I tried to root my phone using kingoapp. It said it was successful, but I didn't saw the SuperSu app, so I tried rebooting first. Now it seems that my phone doesn't want to boot up any more :/. I just get the Huawei logo and that's it.
I can still get into the recovery menu (EMUI, the one that was original on the device, access through sound up + power on). I've tried 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe data/factory settings', neither helps.
It has been brought to my attention that reinstalling a back-up from the original rom might help. I, however, do not have a back-up.
I tried finding a different rom, just to see if that would work, but I really have no idea what to look for, where to look or what I should do with the file once I find it. (In hindsight, these were probably things I should have thought about first, but apparently I didn't :/)
I guess my question now is first of all, is there a way to get my phone back to work? And also, what can I do in the future if I would want to reinstall my OS in the event that something like this would happen again (like how you would reinstall a PC, is something like that possible on a smartphone)?
Kind regards,
Ilja_B

stuck at "checking for updates" loop

so the situation is like , I woke up and saw that my phone's home screen is freeze so, I thought of restarting it , but after I restart my phone, a "hello" screen shows(I hate it) and then I choose language then Country then Wi-Fi, then the screen shows "checking for updates" and after 2-3 minutes It automatically terminates me to the previous page and the process continues in a loop. I tried it restarting a lot of time and also tried the recovery mode but nothing changed.
My device : Realme X7 5G, 3.0UI.
I don't have a backup of my data, so I don't want to loose it, and I didn't unlocked my phone's bootloader, is there any other way, pls help me,
Please someone help me, pls

https://www.getdroidtips.com/realme-x7-rmx2175-stock-rom-file/ Is where you can find the stock firmware. because to fix this you might need to re-flash the stock firmware. and https://spflashtool.com/ is the flashing tool you'll need. follow the instructions in the getdroidtips website to flash it. EDIT: Keep in mind the files are 3 gigabytes so make sure you have enough space.
