[Q] S4 Help needed (Warning: Long story)

Hey guys, let me just start off by saying I have spent almost 8 hours straight today trying to figure this out and dig myself out of a hole I've created for myself, that being said, I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible so you guys know EXACTLY where I am and what I've tried. This post looks long but that's because it is. It's pretty much my entire day's worth of trouble typed out. So just bare with me and see if you guys can help me out here!
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S4 model: SGH-M919 it has Android 4.4.2. Now on to the problem: I've had this phone for almost a year now and a few months ago I rooted it. Did a simple Youtube tutorial and used Odin to do the work and everything worked out fine. A couple months down the road (yesterday), after using the phone like a teenager, downloading apps and cluttering it up it started to slow down and not run some apps. After thinking about it I decided to factory reset it. All of my contacts, photos, and videos were backed up on Google so I thought "why not?" Well, this is where $#!% hit the fan.. being rooted then factory reset, right before the phone came online it had me answer two questions about the root. Something to the effect of "Do you want to keep root? (This option is not reversible)" I thought since I wasn't using the features I originally rooted the phone for I figured nah just get rid of the root. So the phone did its T-Mobile boot up and started the Initial setup.
Everything up to to this point was fine until I wanted to log in to my Google account during the setup. Please understand that where I am I have full 4G LTE coverage and have access to a pretty fast and sturdy wifi connection. Well, when it came to the google sign in I entered my email and password and it came up with a message reading "Can't Sign in - Can't establish a reliable connection to the server" (believe me i wish that was the only issue) so after reading that, I thought I'd try with my wifi.. nope. Same thing. Since neither my 4g or wifi worked I thought it was Google's servers so I tried again this morning, same thing. (keep in mind at this point i think my phone isn't rooted anymore.) I call the t mobile store and they give me a technical support number, so I call it and I tell them i cant sign into Google. The gentleman told me he cant do anything because he can tell my phones been rooted. Only thing he suggests is to contact Google, well, the customer care number just tells you go to google.com/support and there's nothing there about my problem.
This is where I dig my hole even deeper. I tried another factory reset and up in the top left corner i still see that root text. Even the rooted android symbol pops up before the Samsung logo or t mobile. Since I saw that I thought "ohh it just didn't get unrooted all the way." I look up ways to completely remove a root and a lot of them require plugin your phone into the computer and using Odin to flash a stock firmware on to the device. I went to plug my phone into the usb port but my computer didn't recognize the usb device, having experienced this a long time ago I searched around for the latest Samsung usb drivers and I installed those. Device still isn't recognized. Let me just note before people tell me to use MTP mode or Developer tools> usb debugging or connection mode.. The only thing that happens when plugging my phone via usb is the phone starts charging and my computer makes the trumpet noise like something is plugged in. Other than that, there is NO notification of it being plugged in. The reason i stress this is because I called Samsung technical support at this point and the guy (not gentleman) treated me like a 5 year old and ran me through all of these options after i told him I already did everything he was suggesting, including downloading Samsung Kies 3 and having it install the drivers. It does not pick up the device either.. at this point I looked up ways to remove the root without the computer. I found out you can just go into the root app "SU" or something and theres a remove root option. I jumped on that opportunity and had it removed. I restarted the phone and all the problems still persist, it even still has the root text on the top left when you factory reset it again. However now, even if you factory reset and select the option "keep root," thinking it would bring back the"SU" app it does NOT.
So lets recap. I have a phone that thinks its rooted and even appears rooted to t mobile but doesn't have any of the root apps or privileges or capabilities to fix my Google log in issue (like the host file in filemanager). And I can't re-root to get that app back because none of my 3 usb ports, 3 different usb cables (one being the cord that came with the phone), or any of the ports/cables on someone else's computer will recognize the darn thing to work on that way! I have all these issues that are supposed to fix each other but I can't do any fixing because they cancel each other out too... I'm at a dead end.
In case this isn't the right forum/website/thread/post area etc.. I have this whole message saved in Microsoft Word document so I can repost it anywhere you guys might suggest better results. Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

Options with Motorola Razr M at Red Eye

Hi, first time poster hoping for some help with my first encounter with Red Eye at bootup. I have a stock phone. I don't really care about the phone but my wife really wants the pictures off it. It doesn't have an SD card or cloud backup and the pictures are on internal memory. I am able to get into the boot options (like AP fastboot) but I do not know what the options will do for me exactly. Can I choose an option that may fix the phone but will not wipe the memory? Is there any possiblity a PC can see the phone at the Red Eye screen if I connect with USB(would a certified Verizon data cable help?) Would actually opening the phone and doing some sort of mod get me any closer to retrieving pictures? I am a complete novice at this kind of thing and only have experience with PC hardware and software and the like.

none of those options will be of any direct help, however fastboot may be used to try and fix it later.
first,
- do you know what caused it to become like this?
- is it bootloader unlocked? if you dont know what that is, there will be some dialogue on the fastboot screen. status code=0 locked or similar.
- do you know what version it was on? if you dont know, did you always update when available? would likely mean latest version.
- do you have a windows pc available, with a usb 2 port, and a cable to connect the phone to it?
edit,
ultimately, this is where we are headed, if you want to take a look at it. specifically the "rsd flasher". i was going to go another route, but this is probably a more direct option.
the rsd flasher will take you to another site, and is made by samuri. im not real familiar with his tool, but know its good. just will save me time in having you tear the fxz apart and flash certain things.
**note, im not sure if this phone was made for multiple carriers, this will only be relevant when getting the correct fxz file. samuri will know more about this than i would.

Not exactly sure what happen to the phone. My wife tells me one minute it was charged at 26% and working fine, the next moment it was 'dead'.
It is locked with a status of 0
My Wife says if the phone had automated updates(if stock phone is configured that way) then yes she has all the updates. If updates require manual intervention then it's probably not updated.
Yes, I have a Windows PC with 2 USB ports and a generic data cable that fits the phone.
I'm looking at the post you linked too now... Thanks again for your help!

no problem
its likely your phone is fully updated, but since we arent 100% sure, its going to be best to go with the most current file. reason being, because you are locked, you can only flash = or forward. if you try to flash back, it will either not work, or bootloop. usually not work.
it would probably be best if you continued this in @SamuriHL's thread for the rsd flasher. he is very helpful, will likely be able to quickly point you to the most current file, and will be able to answer any questions about the tool where i wouldnt.

Unbrick Your Kill-Switched Nvidia Shield | Live Updates To Follow

My device just got bricked. It was part of the recall and I had removed TegraOTA long ago. Today, after a few weeks of testing out CM13, I decided to go back to stock, remembered to flash the NoMoreOTA zip file but for some reason, it didn't stick. My device started downloading an update which I failed to get suspicious at, then shut down and hasn't come back online since.
This is far more than the frustration of losing a device and its data. It's a scary thought that NVidia has the ability to so utterly control our devices from a distance, with very little that can be done to prevent it if you're an average user. Remember that fuss when Amazon used DRM in their EBooks to remotely delete them from the computers of customers that legally purchased and should've had full rights to the content? This is inexcusable, and we must work to find a fix and pressure NVidia into giving up this disturbing practice.
Here are a basic list of resources I'm researching that have potential, I'll be posting as stream-of-consciousness and these links will also be here for reference when I reboot into Linux for some of the more advanced stuff. I can't make any promises, but stay tuned, this might just work!

Main XDA discussion RE kill switch
An old method that worked on the first variation of the kill switch (doesn't help anymore, since now the kill switch directly attacks the bootloader)

So far:
Bootloader is corrupted. Device is showing as APX.
Step one, therefore: Download APX drivers.
I found these for the Note 7, weren't easy to come across.
Slight issue with signature verification. You need to reboot into advanced settings and disable device driver signature verification.
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/​
To use NVFlash, we need the device's SKB. Most forum members seem to agree that's virtually impossible without a leak from NVidia themselves, but those same people also claim the same issue with getting an APX driver for the Shield, so maybe it can be done. A hopeful post on the matter:

Below link looks promising, need to obtain blob from stock rom. Guy claims he has the blob file, but we still need the SBK:

Lives Updates To Come

You cant repair kill switched NST, because tegraOta attack bootloader at low level and btld is pernamently corrupted.

Also Since Nvidia Tegra Note 7 SBK key is not used its an ODM key system. So they are heading into the wrong bush. only Nvidia knows the ODM key. But good luck.

Hey ReckoningForce,
Really hope you find a way, been searching for hours myself.
Driving me mad as i was bloody stupid enough to turn my should have been recalled device one without turning off the WiFi first, so unfortunately in the same boat as yourself.
Please update this thread if you get anything working!
Thanks again mate

hI, I HAVE A SHIELD 2017 with boot unlocked , but after downgrade from 9.1 to 8 (7.2.3) are in permanent loop:
1 message about risk unlock
2 logo nvidia
3 coloured cirlcle of anroid running
After get print on display "android" it loop into nvidia logo and repeat again infinitely those steps: HDMI recognize them as "Shield"
if i put a keyboard on usb port and i try to boot into fastboot/recovery ( A+B+PWRON) dont
do anymore loop but are stucked into run coloured cirvcles on screen : HDMI recognize them as "PB1"
Also un usb service port it recognize it as MTP USB device
does exist any possibility to get recovery or fastboot mode or i need to throw it out?

No driver no support

I have a AudioVox T852 tablet that is stuck on logo, there's no button combo to enter recovery only thing it has is a reset pin hole tried numerous times and nothing my computer recognizes the tablet but can't find driver.. I reached out to the company and asked for the USB drivers and firmware if possible.. There reply was "Sorry to hear your having trouble but this tablet is no longer supported" to which I replied " No longer supported so **** me right" so how can I or what drivers can I install so I can try and fix it.. Thanks

Yeah ive been up and down those links every link but cant do anything without the drivers i tried force installing drivers that come close but nothing. I was even thinking of writing my own usb drivers for the heck of it but ill check every other option before heading down that road ...thanks anyways

When you say that you tried force installing the drivers and came close but nothing, what do you mean "came close" exactly?
Do you have the driver install .exe to install them? When you install them, does it say they were successfully installed but you still get nothing? If so, you may have to manually configure the driver through device manager. I've had to do this with a couple of tablets to get PC to recognize the device while in fastboot.

Just to be clear theres no drivers for Audiovox T852 tablet at all, even the damm company that makes them refuse to hand it over. They said since its not supported anymore anything and everything for the Audiovox T852 is deleted out there system (when does anyone actually completely delete anything?Right?) Now when i say close i mean i did force install a USB MTP Driver but with a error 10 something along service or drivers could not start. My pc reconized it T852 but with a ? But anytype of commands or software i use to try and anything just wont work without The Damm drivers.. o 1 more thing the T852 also has no fastboot mode or recovery to get into..

It's hard to believe that the drivers haven't been stored/posted somewhere else by someone using some kind of online file sharing site or forum, even if they weren't kept by the manufacturer.
I looked up the specs for your device, the specs say that you have an Amlogic Cortex A9 CPU architecture, have you tried drivers for other devices that use Amlogic Cortex A9 processor?
Also, when in device manager, try selecting the device on the list then right click then select "properties" then select the "details" tab then click on the drop down menu under "property" that shows "device description" by default then select "hardware IDs", write down the ID values, it will be more than one line of ID codes, then do some Google searches to find drivers for those ID codes? Sometimes that will find drivers that work for those hardware IDs, even if the drivers weren't specifically built or offered by the manufacturer of your hardware. Sometimes installing a driver that matches the hardware ID gets that particular hardware ID to work and gets it recognized by the system but then the system detects another "layer" of hardware with its own hardware ID that also needs a driver. Sometimes, if you go layer by layer installing drivers for each new hardware ID that gets exposed by the last driver that you installed, you can eventually get to where each "layer" is recognized, if you are lucky enough to find drivers for each hardware ID layer, you get to where the device is completely recognized correctly. I've done this before to get hardware recognized when I had nothing to go by to identify the device or component.

Dude when I'm telling you I did it all even the darn hardware id's get 0 zero nothing nada in google search results.. That's why I said I'm down to writing creating my OWN drivers I've litterly did the ins and outs and then some.. I just decided to post my problems to see what comes about if I get some sorta guidance it's a plus if I don't no biggy. Ive been at it since the first flip phones came out changing blacklisted imei with cdma workshop qpst fixing tablets computers cracking software but every so often I come across these Chinese tablets that have little to no support and I just put them aside, but nope not this time I'm seeing this issue all the way through hopefully with the help of second to none XDA COMMUNITY.... ?

I know it's frustrating, I can't stand the crap that comes with messing with Chinese devices. You asked, I posted everything I could think of.
Also, I wouldn't brag about changing a blacklisted IMEI and cracking software here at XDA. That kind of thing isn't tolerated here because it's illegal in most places. Guys that do that kind of thing around here get banned from the site.

I wasn't bragging is was intended so that time isn't wasted with noobish, common sense, or beginners replys that's all, but my fault going over what I said i definitely missed the point I wanted to get across..

Need help undoing what my old roommate done to my phone

A guy that is apparently a hacker hacked into all my devices and have been controlling my phone. I just don't know how to get him off. Here's 2 pics of the recovery log.
It's taken me 2 months of reading different forums to kinda figure out what he has done to my phone. I just don't know how to fix it and get him completely off. Right now he can control all apps and anything I do on my phone. If I need to upload more logs I will do that.

I see NO logs whatsoever here. Can you please add the logs?

Yes sorry I thought I did put them up here's 3 pics I'll post the rest in a minute I'm gonna get an app that will generate logs.
If this post vanishes that means he deleted it. If been trying to post here for over a month now.

How did you find out he hacked you?
What's your phone model? (Edit: from the logs it is probably a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022)
(PS I saved those photos so I have them even if they're deleted)

@HackD_1 you might be able to reflash the firmware if you're scared, but I still want to know how you found this out (it would be helpful) and if you know what exactly he did.

Sorry for the delay in response.
Yes my phone is a moto stylus 2022 5 G.
I found out after a series of events took place that ended in me catching him on my network. When I confronted him and told him I got a screenshot is when the attacks really started.
He hijacked my network by installing openwrt on my router. I had TMobile home internet and they supply the router so I couldn't just go buy a new one. I eventually got a new router but he just did the same thing to the other one. It got so bad I had to just turn my internet off. In the beginning the attacks would be in direct result of things happening. He moved out but he still has my phone under control. When I buy a new one he just hacks it this is phone 5 in 2 months.

Im actually not sure what all he has done. I do know he uses system apps and changes permissions. He uses project treble to get system root and then he somehow has root privileges over on the phone. He can delete or just turn off any app he wants. It's so complex it's hard for me to even explain. Here's logcat logs hopefully it will help so you can help me.
I tried to reflash the firmware with the moto rescue and recovery but it stopped half way through. He messed the computer up so bad I can't even get on it without him knowing. Then he stops all downloads that have to do with fixing the phone.
It's extremely aggravating.

Ok this person is extremely intrusive and seems to be targeting you.
I have a question: the TMo gateway already runs openWRT, so how do you know he has access?
Did this happen to all your phones? Does he have physical access to your phone?
Can you reset your PC from Windows recovery (or settings if it is a Mac)?
And how do you know that he did it?
Can you boot to Recovery (volume down while powering on) snd send a pic?

@Cheshire147 @HackD_1 Don’t use that MediaTek flash tool; it won’t work in this case.
You should use RSDLite (Motorola’s internal flash tool; it works on 10/11 in my experience if you don’t plug your phone into a blue USB port (usb 3.0) ) to flash this (firmware for US retail version of the G Stylus 5G 2022).
and @HackD_1 The extent to which people on XDA can help you with are with tech related issues. If this gets serious, please report this to your local authorities.
Also, backup and reset any other devices (you said your pc is messed up) to remove any makicious software lingering on your computers, and DO NOT give this person access to any of your devices to make changes.
You should also change you WiFi password and take ALL devices off the network (for security purposes).
@HackD_1 Also, how come you now have 5 phones? You can reset all of them and sell off / give away the ones you don’t want.

I know there's only so much people on here can do. This whole thing has really been one of the worst things that's happened to me. People don't think about how much loosing control of your cell phone will stress you out. The aggravation I felt in the beginning of this because I didn't know what was wrong or how to explain it so everyone would say things like. It's possible to control a cell phone but it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY your phone is hacked. The helplessness I felt from not even being able to get tech people to believe me was unreal.
It's already gotten worst. There's no money in it for him so I thing he is getting bored with it all.
Worst part about all this and imagine how helpless you would feel when you finally say ok enough is enough and call the police just for them to say there's nothing they can do.
So here's what I know. He hacked into my network. Once on he could attack my devices. To get into the device he used either Google apps or Motorola app or even system update then once I unknowingly click his package it's game over
Project treble gets enabled and the recovery partition gets a genteric system image from AOSP once his OS is installed on my device he controls it like a developer building an os except he does things to stop me. I'm not even sure how this is possible if my bootloader is still locked.
I did read something about project treble and being able to flash certain images without unlocked bootloader so I guess that's how.
I wish i could have gotten the MOTO R&R to work but I think he did something to the download file. If I'm downloading a file he don't want me to have he will do a man in the middle and take away from the file or add to it to mess it up. I've download the Stock OS fir the stylus probably ten times. He will mess them up during download or delete them when he sees them in my phone.
I don't even have a computer anymore because he screwed mine up and got it stuck in boot loop.
If I had a USB OTG cable then I could download it onto a USB drive and install windows but mine unfortunately broke.
I have a question. Can I flash the phone using wireless debugging and another phone using tetmux or something similar?
He probably has tetmux configured to not flash it.
It seems every solution I try he has blocked.
Also if I flash the phone will that delete all the partitions? He has a bunch of partitions I've noticed. He's been kinda quiet these past couple days. Usually this post would have been erased and me blocked from this site.
He is also using my USB interface to gain access.
Rmnet. I know he's using it but can't figure out how to stop that either.

@HackD_1 flashing wirelessly is not going to work.
If he was intercepting requests to Google/Motorola servers (although idk how he signed any system apps for update), you should first fix your PC and network before trying to flash your phone.
You can order a Windows usb from eBay or something if you need windows now. And keep a USB around next time.
And can you remove all connected evices from the router configuration and change your wifi password?
