Hey there.
So, the other day i got a new phone ,Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017), and today i decided to root it. It all went very well until i installed an app. Don't really remember the name but i think it was called Titanium Backup (i really am a noob). So, I decided to uninstall some apps, such as OneDrive, but after that, i started getting popups saying "Airdrive stopped working", so i decided to uninstall Titanium and install it again. When i tried to open it, it didn't open. At all. I then decided to restart my phone, but now it doesn't boot. I can go into download mode and i can go into the TWRP mode too. I've tried to do a factory reset, but it stays the same.
Can someone PLEASE help me?? I don't know what to do..

Hello everyone,
I searched the forums for awhile but could not find a satifying answer for my question. So i am hoping you guys will have an answer for me.
First of all i would like to point out that i am not looking for an answer for how to unbrick the phone. There are several guides and hopefully when i get home i will be able to fix the problem. *Fingers crossed*
I did not have my Galaxy S for long. After getting it and installing KIES and updating my firmware the battery life what terrible so I rooted the phone and then installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU. it worked like a charm.
Yesterday when I was playing with the CWM application, I decided that i was going to back up the phone and backed it up using the application. This morning one of my programs was acting weird and I decided to restore the backup I have done yesterday.
Upon going into applications and CWM, I chose the restore option and started the process. Everything was going smoothly, the phone was plugged in to the charger as well.
When the phone rebooted after the initial process I am stuck at logo screen. i can go into download mode (That is why I am hoping that I will be able to unbrick it) however that is as far as the phone goes. When I try to go into CWM Recovery mode, I am once again welcomed by the phone getting stuck at logo screen.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this might have happened? To avoid future problems is there any extra steps I should have taken before using the CWM restore function?
Thanks for the help.

Maybe your backup was corrupted somehow. You could have tried wiping the dalvik cache after restoring your backup (before rebooting), but its too late now. Since you can get into download mode, you can easily fix the problem (your device is just soft bricked - nothing to worry too much about).

The phone rebooted automatically. Did not give me the chance to do anything beforehand.
As you said the phone was soft bricked so when i got home that day i just fixed it. No problem. However I am really really into getting to find out how a 1 day old back up can get corrupted.
Alright, so yesterday I tried to root my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Wifi) yesterday by installing TWRP and then loading the Superuser zip found in their link in the play store. It worked fine--I had root access and all was going fairly well. I then tried to make a small tweak to the build.prop file by changing ro.build.version.codename from REL to L.
When I rebooted to apply that change, I could not start up, so I did a factory reset (not a big deal, no essential files on there). It then booted fine, but when I reinstalled/updated all my apps, the Google services were crashing like mad. So I reverted the build.prop file back to REL and again it would reboot, so I did another factory reset and all was good; the Google apps were fine.
Well I was still rooted and I wanted to take advantage of all that time I spent doing it, so I downloaded the bootanimation zip found on this thread and replaced my bootanimation.zip that was already on there. I restarted to see the animation, and this is when the real nightmare started happening. I could not boot now at all.
I did another factory reset, and still it wouldn't boot. I then used TWRP to do a full reset, and still nothing. I did an advanced reset and somehow managed to delete the operating system files (I have no idea how), causing TWRP to say that no operating system was installed. I still couldn't boot, of course.
Finally, I decided I had had enough of this rooting ****. I searched all over the internet looking for a North American version of my stock ROM, and finally found one posted on this forum post. I wouldn't normally trust any random file, but I was getting desperate here. I used Odin to flash that ROM, and there were no errors. Now when I go into recovery, it gives me stock and not TWRP, so I know that was probably successful.
However, I still cannot boot. I get stuck on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which sometimes goes away and then comes back. I can't send it in for warranty, because it still says "custom" in the recovery mode. How can I fix this? any ideas?
I really want my tablet back :crying:
[Q] Stuck on TWRP/System Recovery. Need help.
Hello, first time posting here.
So like the title says, my phone is stuck on System Recovery. I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (A500F model), rooted, and with TWRP installed.
The phone was running fine for 3 months without problems, so I guess it must be from recent installs, but I haven't installed anything since last week. The last action I did prior to this problem was going to System Recovery via Link2SD app, since the usual button combination didn't work. So I guess the fault lies there? At this point I have tried everything I can do, like restarting, rebooting, wiping, factory resetting, and I even restored a backup but it still goes to System Recovery after every restart.
This is my first problem on Android phones, so I hope you can help me.
If you need more information, I'd gladly provide.
Cheers.

Hi I am new to rooting and soft bricked my phone on a Sprint Samsung S6 Edge G925P, I was messing with titanium back up and I clicked run on one of the batch files I believe it was replace apps with new versions but im not for sure. A lot of error messages kept popping up saying "name of app" closed and i could not finish my back up with titanium it was stuck at 50%. I went to go look at my phone and all the google apps such as play store and youtube were down and was replaced with the green android robot logo. I panicked and decided I should restart my phone with a factory reset. However, I can not get the reset to finish it always gets stuck on checking for updates or just a sec after waiting for long periods of time.
Please Help!!!

No.1- if you have done a backup in cwm recovery than you have to restore it
No.2- if you dont have any backup than flash your phone stock rom with odin

Hello mates
I have a Samsung Galaxy J1 , android 4.4.2 and its being really weird. I just woke up, turned on, screen went black and "appname has stopped working" piled and popped up for system ui, play services, play store and many more. I rebooted, it worked but the network bars stayed on for about just a min then bye, it went to no service, now thats what keeps happening . I tried uninstalling some apps but it'd reboot and keep very long on logo. Same happens while deleting a message.
it was a rooted device but apps are showing phone doesn't have root access. IMEIs are there but network stays for a minute . I tried hard resetting from recovery and it succeeded but when i boot the phone, all apps and settings are there laughing at me ... And i was like OMG WTF..... not even one app erased.
I formatted and flashed with SP flash tool, it showed download complete but not even an app went, nothing erased omg. Help me.....
=== The last major action i remember was Batch moving all movable apps with Titanium Backup===
