Good day everyone, especially to every great and talented android developer out there. Please be nice and give some patience in me, im a newbie. I don't intend to annoy anyone . I am here asking for help to anybody.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T110
1. I rooted it and flashed custom recovery(TWRP) following this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674649. It works fine. Reasons? To enhance battery life and give smooth performance especially in games. I have backup everything and put in my laptop.
2. I installed app remover/uninstaller from google play to remove unwanted system applications.
3. I installed custom kernel/ROM and flashed it in recovery mode. It failed, I reboot the device, and it tells "NO OS".
I follow instructions in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7/rom-i8200-build-t110-t3139478
4. I try to restore the back-up in recovery, but it failed. So, i downloaded the stock/official firmware.
5. I flashed stock recovery, then flashed the stock/official firmware of my device. It works again (No Root this time)
6. I am really curious about custom kernel/rom, so i reapeat 1-5. (3x)
7. The second time, i wonder why it failed to install the rom, so i go to recovery->wipe->format Data
8. This time, i know my device breaks. It keeps on rebooting and sometimes it stuck at startup.
9. I unbreak/softbreak it following no. 1 but nothing change, my device didn't start. It's stuck.
I think my device is now dead.
Any comments/suggestions is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.
Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.
Hi
After rooting my phone using Kingo Root, i installed a rom from Sammobile.com (T111XXUANH3_T111OLBANH2)
The problem is, the installation did not make my phone better. All applications started to
crash (force close) especially Facebook, Whatsapp and messaging.
The crash occured in regular basis everytime i used some functions in the apps. The warning message says: " ...... has stopped". I can not even send sms anymore since it was always crashed seconds after writing the message.
I have done all of these steps suggested in many forums but they did not work:
1. Wipe partition and cache in recovery mode
2. Delete data and cache of the apps
3. Fix permissions in apps to fix their UIDs (i used fix permission app downloaded from google play store)
My questions are:
1. What is the best installer app to install ROM from computer?
2. What is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T111?
3. When installing the ROM, Does it install the new kernel as well?
I'm still new in Android rooting and i don't have much knowledge about installing a new rom properly including its Kernel. Please help me to restore my phone's functions back to normal.
Thank you in advance.

If you're installing a stock ROM use ODIN always if its a Samsung device, if it's a custom ROM use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
When installing a custom ROM it will install a new kernel most of the time (Very rare when a ROM doesn't contain a kernel and it's always custom ROMS). A stock ROM will always contain a new kernel.
Finally there is no such thing as a "best" ROM, everyone has a personal preference but to get you started I would recommend trying out CM11, Paranoid Android or PAC-ROM as these have a nice stock feel whilst containing useful tweaks.
To restore your phone to stock just download the stock firmware from SAM Mobile and flash using ODIN and select the PDA file in the PDA button area and then flash

If you have the correct custom recovery installed and the correct custom ROM on an SD card sure you can replace the current one

Hello! i don't know if this is the correct forum to post this content, but iI am facing a problem to do root in my Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 Neo. I'm going to tell the story: First I was trying to install with android rom 5.0 on my phone (which was with root working perfectly), (I couldn't find a rom compatible), but before you look for the rom, I decided to install the recovery of Clockword Mod, that has not been successfully installed, and my smartphone doesn't leave the splash screen, and I was unable to access the recovery (a red exclamation point appeared in the upper left corner) so I decided to download the original rom of my smartphone and install with odin, but I still couldn't access the recovery, so I extract the recovery.img file of rom, converted to .tar.md5 and installed with odin, worked perfectly, however I still can't perform the root, I always used the kingo root, and always worked, but not this time I tested other software and apk's, none managed to finish the process. It bothers me a lot because my smartphone has android 4.4.4 and has access to the sd card only for apps, system that gets in the way too much. Well, is that there is still a solution for this problem? Grateful in advance!! :laugh:

tl;dr - TWRP touch screen won't work after installing custom ROM, much hassle to unbrick, looking for a "bumped" (still not actually sure what that term means) or otherwise modified version of TWRP that won't go haywire when installing a custom ROM.
tl;dr 2 - Also interested in the LATEST "stock-based" ROM recommendations anyone may have... G3 backports or whatever. She needs her Camera to work well but older 4.4.x and 5.0.x OS is missing a lot of new functionality and compatibility with new apps.
I'll just start out by saying that I've figured out just about every way to brick and subsequently un-brick this device that is feasibly possible, and am considering starting a thread specific to those various methods... but that's not what this is for.
This is an issue I've encountered a few times now, definitely on my girlfriend's T-Mobile LG G2 D801 with Lollipop (30B and now again on D801 30C), and iirc, also on KitKat.
I'll explain what I can remember, most of this has been done in the middle of the night after many frustrating hours of attempting various methods... I have to say, this phone has been much more difficult to mod compared to my previous experiences with Samsung and Nexus devices.
I had gotten this device all the way through to CM12 or 13 a year or so ago but recent issues made us decide to attempt to revert back to a Stock-based ROM.
Steps:
1. Root (ioroot / Autorec, can't remember which or for what reason, I have multiple versions of each)
2. Install TWRP Custom Recovery (most recently and successfully using a modified version of the "30B Freedom Tool", although I haven't tried that on 30C - yet.
3. Transfer custom ROM & Kernel to SDCard.
4. Boot into TWRP and install custom ROM & Kernel - most recently GoogleEdition 1.5 and then DorimanX 12.0 Kernel
5. Clear Cache / DALVIK Cache.
6. Reboot device. This is where the trouble begins...
Results: Won't boot into OS at all, instead I end up at the text-based "fastboot" screen, which after multiple tries I can eventually get back into TWRP or into Download Mode.
Once in TWRP after installing custom ROM, the bottom ~1" of the screen won't respond and all other touches aren't accurate... playing with it, I can usually eventually get into some of the TWRP screens, but for most purposes it's about useless.
I managed to restore a backup of the original 30B system image via command line over MTP using ADP TWRP commands, but that bricked the phone in an entirely separate manner where I couldn't access Recovery anymore and the system wouldn't boot at all... I ended up using the LG Update tool to get it up to 30C, and was surprised to find that it still had the restored backup data (apps, pictures, settings, etc), and the phone is now working again, albeit back to stock recovery.
Now, as I mentioned, this isn't the first time I've run into this "phantom touch" issue in TWRP on this device, although the circumstances seem to be a little backwards this time vs when I was taking the device over to CM12/13. I think I remember something about a "bumped" or otherwise modified version of TWRP being out there, but I can't find it now or put my finger on what the changes were.
Has anyone else run into this? I am hoping I've just overlooked something, but days of digging through threads hasn't turned up much.
/edit/ To give you an idea, attached is the folder I've got files stored in... with tons more in Archive and Stock-Based... I've used them ALL at some point. I'd like to get enough info in here to write a Step by Step guide for new owners who are picking these devices up on the cheap, and would appreciate if anyone wants to help out with this!
