So as you read the title i'm in serious trouble while trying to fix my moisture detected error
I wanted to try and uninstall root so i went to my magisk manager and clicked uninstall next thing you know im in a bootloop and can only go to twrp recovery
my usb port doesn't work or else i would have flashed a stock rom but i can't i only have a micro sd card which i can put stuff on to try and install from inside the twrp recovery
this usb port has been ruining my life for the past 3 months now if anyone can suggest anything i would love to try it im on the verge of throwing this phone away at this point
I'd go back to rooted via TWRP, reinstalling Magisk, or via restore from a backup, then find the how to's to go back to stock for your phone, and follow those instructions, very carefully.

Tried looking everywhere, but couldn't really find anything. Any help is appreciated!
Alright some background info
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I wanted to do more, so I flashed TWRP onto my phone using JRummy's ROM Installer. I followed all the steps and successfully booted into TWRP recovery. I created a Nandroid backup and when I tried rebooting my phone it gets stuck on the 4G LTE boot animation.
I then tried wiping the cache etc. and restoring the backup I had just created. To no avail, the phone kept getting stuck on the boot animation. I've tried restoring the backup multiple times with no success.
On my last attempt I checked another box on the TWRP restore page, I think it was the VG5 verification or something. Halfway through what I though was going to be a successful restore, my phone reset and got stuck in the boot animation again. Now when I boot into recovery it's the stock recovery, not the custom TWRP as before. Tried clearing everything/factory reset and it still stuck on boot animation.
As a college student I'd like to get this figured out as soon as possible (hopefully before midweek, Friday at latest). If I can figure this out with your help I'll be very grateful.
If I can't find any other way, I'm willing to flash stock back using ODIN and seeing how that turns out. Also my home button is a little sticky so I doubt the Verizon worker would be able to boot into recovery or download mode.
Any suggestions?
For those of you TL;DR
1) Rooted phone / unlocked bootloader
2) Flashed custom TWRP recovery onto phone
3) Created a Nandroid backup from recovery
4) Tried rebooting and gets stuck on 4G LTE boot animation screen
5)Wiped cache etc. and retried multiple times. Doesn't work
EDIT: I flashed stock through ODIN and everything seems to be in order. I'll be trying to root and recover everything through TWRP again and if it doesn't work oh well. My end goal is to have a custom ROM
Maybe this will help you
Okay for your problem, if you can go to Download Mode and your recovery back to its stock form, your last option will be flashing it through Odin. There are several method and guides How to Flash via Odin. I will link to you all the guide and try it so your phone will be back to normal. Choose only 1 method
1.) [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)
2.) Verizon Offcial VRBMB1 Odin Files, VRBMF1 Odin Files, and VRBMF1 Update Files
Must read first the guide and download all the necessary.
If your phone gets revived, you can try this method and choose TWRP recovery and update the recovery.

Note: You know the responsibility when you root your phone, I am not nor them who created this thread have responsibility to your phone, it is your choice.
Thanks for replying
I've got everything back in order now. I'll try installing AOKP or something
Your Welcome
That's good to hear
Using ROM Manager and the latest version of CWM I tried installing today's (12-08) nightly build of CM11 to try it out. After doing a complete backup and then wipe data/cache the install failed. I'm not sure why but it said it was aborted and to check log and report the error to ROM Manager.
After that it asked if I wanted to reboot and I wanted to make sure I restored from my backup so I backed out of the screen but then it booted up on its own. It did not get past the S3 loading screen with the CM Android/alien guy it just turned off, back to that screen again and then back into recovery.
At this point I went to recover from my backup file and it said MD5 mismatch and won't load. I've since tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache all manually and then boot up, or wipe everything and try to install the rom again... every time it just loops back to recovery mode. The last time I tried installing the rom again it told me I might have lost root access and asked if I wanted to repair it... I'm not sure what that means.
Any suggestions? I am lost at this point. I have no experience with ADB (I'm not sure if that's my only option) but I've used ODIN mode a few times. Easiest solution would be best.

I had the exact same issue when trying to flash that same CM11 nightly build but with TWRP...
I just pulled the battery took my SD card out and reinserted it and I just kept booting into recovery and turning the phone off until it let me reflash a rom or backup. Obviously this isnt the most legitimate solution but that could work for you! It did for me!...
This could have been caused by needing an update of CWM or TWRP to better support 4.4 perhaps?

I tried that to no avail. I unfortunately had to revert to stock unrooted via ODIN mode and it got me to boot back up. I can just reroot now. Luckily I made a backup with Titanium and uploaded it to my Google Drive.
I started to install pacrom on my verizon galaxy s4 and am havings troubles. I'll start from the beginning.
I rooted the phone via Towelroot app and checked it with rootchecker.
Then i downloaded the following.
downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS4/SCH-i545/roms/PACMan/pac_jfltevzw-nightly-20130913.zip
downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/PA/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130610-signed.zip
androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603023 this is safestrap for "FOR USERS OF MJ7/MK2" IDK the difference between that and ME7/MI1 but i used MJ7/MK2
From here I opened up the safestrap app and installed the recovery and loaded it up. I left it on the stock rom slot while i continued to wipe everything and install the rom and GAPPS. This was a mistake, however, because i it bootlooped. I tried wiping and installing many different ways and still ended up with a bootloop. I realized in needed to use a rom slot and set that up. I wiped all the necessary things and installed the rom and GAPPS. Still it bootlooped. I have even tried to install without GAPPS with no avail. I forgot to make a backup of the stock and the stock slot just bootloops the pacrom boot screen. I cant find a way to add filed from my computer because whenever i connect it during the boot screen it shows up as a disc drive on my computer. Normally i would choose USB settings and make it where i can transefer data files, but i cant do this. I really need some help with this as I have done all I know to do. The downloads may be the problem, but from what i understand they are the correct ones. Thanks
Download this rom, move it to your phone and flash with recovery.
If you can't get the file on the phone I will help you out.
Last night i tried to root my phone. I installed twrp, supersu, and everything needed, but supersu was not working and put my phone in a bootloop. I got out of that and tried to restore my phone to before i did anything, but it wouldnt let me. I then stupidly installed crDroid, which worked, but now i cant get any cellular service, which defeats the purpose of having a cell phone. I wiped my phone and tried to install a stock firmware multiple times that was correct for my phone, but that didnt seem to work in twrp either. I tried to adb sideload, but i'm too stupid to even get the right file name for the stock firmware? i need seirous help so i can have my phone back. I dont even want to root anymore.

When you're rooting stock, remember do not wipe cache and dalvick partitions after root and before first boot

Procedure for flashing -->

will installing super su use version
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip?retrieve_file=1
You cannot just flash SuperSU on stock marshmallow, it will boot loop you. What you need to do is, go into advanced tab in twrp and enter the terminal and write this before flashing SuperSU zip
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>> /data/.supersu
This will move root to data and avoid the boot loop

Use the supersu version attached in this link.
I was trying to switch from SuperSU to Magisk in what I thought would be a simple process following an online tutorial. I went into TWRP recovery and flashed the zip to clear superSU root. Then I flashed the boot.img that I extracted from one of my nandroid backups, and then flashed magisk. But when I rebooted, it's stuck in a loop, just the initial splash screen for a brief moment, then it reboots. Can't access recovery mode or bootloader because it reboots too fast. I'm pretty freaked out here I only meant to install youtube vanced not brick my phone. It won't connect to ADB on my computer because it's too busy rebooting. Is there any way to save my phone? Obviously the boot.img I flashed was the problem, I'm wondering if I extracted it from the wrong backup (different phone). I know that if I can get back into recovery mode I can restore the correct backup, but at the moment all I can do is let the battery drain down because it's not responding to anything.
Please help!
Well I figured it out on my own, but I don't know how to delete the thread.
