I think I soft bricked my OPO

So I was trying to revert back to Cyanogen from Oxygen OS and I don't know what exactly happened but I think I soft bricked my phone. I think I messed it up when I was in recovery mode before and I decided to try to install Cyanagen in the recovery mode. Now my phone can only go into fast boot mode and it wont go into recovery mode. All it does in recovery is constantly reboots itself until you let go of the buttons and then it gets stuck on the regular rebooting screen. I have no idea what to do now at this stage and pretty much have zero experience is stuff like this. Please can someone help me fix my phone. I'm honestly so scared that I bricked my phone. I've been trying to fix this for hours and I cant seem to figure it out.

samsung galaxy grand prime soft brick problem

Hello, I have a soft bricked samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530t1. I have tried flashing the recovery tar file but failed, I have also tried flashing the stock firmware which led to another failing because of "Volume size is too big 4362240 < 4546560 ODIN : Invalid ext4 image", and apparently I now have an error that occurred from updating the device software but when I tried using kies 3, smart switch, and kies 2.6 It says that my device isn't responding or it's unsupported. So I genuinely need help.

Soft bricked S6 - please help!

I have an S6 that I believe is soft bricked. It will only boot to the android recovery screen. I have access to the downloader as well as the recovery. The error I've been getting is "dm-verity verification failed... Need to check DRK first..."

Model Number: SM-G920VZKAVZW (Verizon)
Current ROM: 6.0.1
Not rooted

My wife received an OTA update to 6.0.1 the other day. Since then the phone had been very slow. I did a wipe cache partition. At some point I accidentally entered download mode and hit vol up instead of down to cancel and got into download mode. Not knowing how to get out of this I went online and a video showed a set of key presses to get out of it. Now on bootup I get the "dm-verity" error. To make matters worse, there are a lot of unbacked up photos and such that I'm desperately trying to keep if at all possible.

I downloaded the stock 6.0.1 firmware from sam-mobile that matched what I had on the phone (the top of the recovery screen had listed out 6.0.1 and the PDA number so I matched it up). I flashed via Odin and got Pass at the end. On bootup I was sent back to the recovery screen with an error I believe still saying dm-verity check but then "failed setting up dirty target". I rebooted again and I'm back to the standard dm-verity / check DRK error.

Any suggestions on what I can do and still keep my user data? Thanks!!

Soft Brick? Help

Been trying to unlock the bootloader and root the phone for the past 3 hours. Finally realized my mistakes. Was going to factory wipe the phone and finally get it right, when I accidentally swiped right at the "Do you want to Install the SuperSU" or something among those lines, but the SuperSu zip wasn't showing up because I didn't have a password for the mount. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I can get into recovery. I tried advance wipe, format data, swipe to factory reset. All of those to go to the phone sitting at the boot animation for 10-20 mins before I try it again. What can I do? Barley bought it yesterday. The nexus 5 was so much simpler. Thanks for any help. BTW on twrp 2.8.7.2

Soft brick bootloop help! I tried everything I could think of.

Backstory I'm running PureNexus rom with Experimental kernel. Yesterday out of nowhere the phone started bootlooping, usually this is fine and i'll just restart the phone. Well after trying this the bootloop stayed for 15mins. I cleared cache and dalvik and still the same results. I ended up trying to restore a previous nandroid and nothing changed. Frustrated I backuped my titanium backups to my PC and cleared everything, factory reset and data format from twrp. I tried flashing the PureNexus rom clean and still bootloops. It just hangs on the white Google screen with the black background.

I'm following Heisenberg's tutorial (section 10) and after using fastboot and following the directions, i'm getting stuck on flashing the system. I'll get, "load_file: could not allocate 2014388768 bytes
error: cannot load 'C:\angler\images\system.img'

I read restarting the computer might help and i tried that and nothing has changed. It seems this is not rom related, since I downloaded a couple different ones and pushed it to my phone/flashed and it still bootloops. Any suggestions or help? Thanks!

"soft brick" on honor 7 after failed install of xposed

Hello everybody, I have a huge problem !

I have a rooted honor 7 and I tried to install xposed framework by flashing the zip, but guess what, It didn't work :( so it got stuck on TWRP, I flashed the uninstaller but, even after reboot, I'm still stuck on TWRP...

If someone could explain me with clear words what can I do to clean all that mess, I would be so happy :) ^^

Have a good day !

Soft bricked my Xperia V need help

I can access Flash mode or fastboot. Tried flashing stock 4.3 ftf and use stock dual recovery kernel however I can't get past Sony Logo. There's no colorful waves animation only backlight. Tried flashing stock rom with CWM and I successfully flashed it however then I get yellow triangle, exclamation mark inside and phone and then it restarts.


Yesterday I fixed it but stupid me tried to update system to 4.3 an I bricked it again!


No idea what I can do now this was caused by flashing wrong Kernel. I thought it was for V but it was for SP!

Please share your knowledge with me.

Blu studio 7.0 ii soft- bricked i believe!

Ok so i rooted my blu studio 7.0 ii everything was fine, i slipped up and didnt do a back- up like a dummy the root i used was King root and then i wanted an app but it wasnt available for my version or compatible so i youtubed how to by pass that it suggested to download j rummy build prop editor and use samsung and GT-I9100 on build product and and device name and so forth then restart your phone which i did, and it worked no problems , then i went a step to far and turned on selinux mode and edited stagefright on it or something and rebooted it then it was bootlooped to recovery mode, nd that selinux was enforcing policy everything was null and when it checked all the files system check failed is what it stated, so then i flashed blu studio 6.0 firmware on it thinking that it would help but it didnt now it wont boot at all i need some help on how i can fix this my self seeing as it says modified on a system check so i think that voids my warranty

Soft Bricked my Galaxy s6 (sm-g920t) please help!

I was flashing a rom and now the phone will turn on but I only can get it to Download mode and thats it, otherwise it just freezes during the "samsung" boot portion. I did have twrp installed but now I cant even get into recovery mode. Is there anything I can use with Odin to recover my phone? Right now im downloading some stock firmware for my phone model hoping that flashing that via odin will work, tried the same thing last night and it didnt but this is a different .tar so im crossing my fingers.

Soft brick - cannot flash via recovery or Odin

Basically woke up with my phone as a brick... phone crashed when my alarm was supposed to go off (luckily I was already awake) and now hangs on the boot splash screen.

Device is an i747m, previously running S3Rx 3.0 (Android 4.3) with MK5 bootloader and modem. CWM 6.0.4.7 installed.

I am able to boot into both recovery and download mode.

However, in recovery mode, I get the errors:

Code:

---

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

---

Furthermore, if I try to factory reset, I get the error:

Code:

---

Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!

---

While in recovery, I am not able to flash a new recovery or ROM. There are no errors when flashing, however, after rebooting nothing has changed. I'm assuming that's because the system cannot access the storage.

Through Odin, I can flash TWRP with no errors. However, once I try to boot into recovery, I am still on CWM 6.0.4.7.
Through Odin, I am unable to flash ROMs (trying to flash 4.3 MK5 stock rom). I am using Odin 3.07 on a W7 x64 computer with Samsung drivers installed and an official Samsung USB cable.
I receive the error:

Code:

It appears that there is a problem with the internal memory since I can't read/write, but I am unsure if it is fixable.
I have come across this thread, but I am skeptical if it will work since it is for the Verizon S3.
I also came across this thread in my research, but I can't get cygwin to download >.> It seems promising, but I am unable to try it at the moment.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if any additional information is required.

How to add soft keys without crash?

So I remember on my Note 4 and S6, I add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on my build prop and it never really worked on lollipop or marshmallow. Everytime I rebooted, my phone would crash and just keeps giving an error over and over...everytime I pressed ok.

I'm sure the devs know how to fix this since the custom roms for my Note 4 got rid of the error awhile back

Is it possible to fix soft brick with adb?

Hello,

I have a new S7 Edge and disabled Touchwiz Launcher System Apps with EZ Package disabler.
Today I tried for the first time ultra power saving mode, which did not work at all (I think there was no launcher available)
After a reboot, I am stuck at the flashing Samsung logo.

My question: Is it possible to reenable the Touchwiz Launcher with adb so that my phone can boot successfully again?
Which mode could be helpful? Download Mode, Safe Mode, Recovery?
I don't want to factory reset just yet because of pictures which are not backed up on the internal storage...

Please help :)

Soft Bricked MetroPCS 626s.. Small request PLEASE

Last night I reverted back to stock to receive the MM update. Which I did then I flashed twrp via fastboot and rooted phone. At that point the phone worked perfectly, but me being myself was far from content with only twrp and a rooted MM update that probably most ppl would love to be able to have but cant figure out how to do it. Anyways I wanted all of the storage I was accustom to thanks the memory mod by sandix (shoutout sandix for a sweet mod). In hind sight everything is 20/20 and I can only blame my lack of common sense on being very tired. I attempted the mod around 3am not even thinking anything about the boot partition mod. Looking back I can see how retarded it was. Either way my problem remains the same. For some reason only known to god my metro pcs ruu is failing everytime. I am quite certain that all I need is a boot partition for MM. Can someone please create a backup of an unmodified boot partition and send it my way.... That would be t!tt!es. Thank you in advance.

Soft brick help!

Hi all

I've had a soft bricked device now for 4 days I've read almost every post on the net to resolve this issue. So my Samsung S6 SM-G920F is stuck on the blue screen saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software." I can get into download mode 'recovery' however my phone will not connect to my computer via usb. With an error message stating "usb device not recognised. The last usb device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it.

I have tried:
Changing cables
Changing computer
Deleting drives - rebooting comp to reinstall
Removing kies
Removing smart switch
Reinstalling smart switch
Reinstalling sub drivers
Editing power options and disabling USB ports
Entered HP BIOS and ran a port check which did however result in failure but then same situation on another HP laptop with working ports.
The device is charging when plugged in but not available to flash and reboot/bootloop.

If anyone has a resolution I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance

Cannot add soft keys to touchwiz mm

Hi, I have a galaxy a8(sm-a800f) running stock rooted marshmallow. I want to add soft keys to it by editing the build.prop file and adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to it. But it is not working after I reboot my device.. nothing changes and I still have no soft keys. What should I do?

T- Mobile Note 5 Soft Bricked. Need some help pls

I Have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Before I rooted it. it was on 6.0.1 Marshmallow

I rooted the phone just fine using TWRP. but after the root I tried to also add Xposed and that's when I got soft bricked into a permanent T-Mobile load screen with the white background and T Mobile Logo at start up.

Here is the link where I downloaded the Xposed from: https://www.xtremetricks.net/install...1-marshmallow/

I downloaded the Xposed Framework for ARM64 Marshmallow devices in step 3. As the Hardware Info app indicated that I had a ARM64 Processor. When I used TWRP to Install the Xposed Framework. I got soft bricked after reporting.

I tried Factory Resetting, and redoing the TWRP root process. But no help. I've been trying to find the Note 5 Firmware to download to see if that works. But I can't seem to find the right file. and I worried I may make the soft brick worst. So if someone could assist me and point me in the right direction to solve this issue I'd greatly appreciate it.

I also tried using Smart Switch but it doesn't recognize my phone so that didnt work either.

[Need Help] Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 Soft brick

Dear Readers,

I recently bought my Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 and its an excellent phone, although, I rooted it quite soon after purchase.

Used CF-Autoroot and everything worked just fine,
Now today I wanted to get Xposed up and running on my phone, and I wanted to back up everything first.
I installed Flashify and downloaded a TWRP img, I flashed it and rebooted my phone.
Heres some info now:
Normal boot: Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
What comes next: Bootloaded exception
[RST_STAT = 0x10000]
ASV TBL VER = 32768
LOT_ID = N469X
-Some useless CPU heat info etc-

Exception: do_handler_sync: UNKNOWN

pc : 0x40205000 l r : 0x43e07c68 sp:"0x43f07f40


Now after that I shut down with vol down+main menu+power button
And I boot again with vol up+main menu+power button

First comes up:
Installing system update...

Then:
On the bottom of the screen: dm-verity verification failed. . .
And ofcourse in the middle the basic options
On the top
Android System Recovery <e3>


PLEASE help me out cause I really dont know what to do now..
Greetings from The Netherlands

Edit: I get different text on the first normal boot every time it seems, some weird letters and numbers etc.
Example: B f $ AFA G $ AFB p G @F H1 G pl
