Please i need help my friend's S5 SM-G900F is stuck at recovery booting and can't go to recovery mode or normal boot he said he flashed cf-autoroot and the problem started i had flashed so many firmwares and it still had this problem any ideas :crying:
I'm going to assume the worst case scenario.....
Your multiple firmware flash attempts may have caused some OS corruption which means that even if the phone was to miraculously boot normally, you'd find that the whole system is unstable.....
This leaves realistically one option.....
Start again from a *totally* fresh install.
To do this, it is likely that you'll need to flash the pit file for the device variant along with the firmware.......
This will totally erase and re-format the device memory partitions during the flash which will get rid of any old software (and subsequent modifications) allowing the device to function normally.

I have try this too but it doesn't make any effect ��
You could try going custom.......
(Follow this process EXACTLY)
1) copy SuperSU zip and your choice of custom rom to a microSD card and put it in the phone.
2) boot into download mode.
3) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
4) DO NOT allow phone to boot....uncheck Auto Reboot (remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed if necessary) then.....
5) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)
6) flash SuperSU zip.
7) flash custom rom and GApps
8) boot device as normal.
Note....If the phone *does* manage to reboot at #4, you'll have to re-flash TWRP and intervene to prevent re-boot.....

Flashing custom recovery/rom

What did the phone do after the flash?
List the exact steps you took and the results of each step, or we can't help you at all, we are not in your house watching you, we only know what you tell us, so 'not worked' is no help at all

Did you turn off "Auto Reboot" in ODIN first?
And then remove the battery from the phone after it flashes TWRP
And then replace the battery
And enter recovery immediately on first boot (Volume Up & Home & Power) BEFORE booting into Android?

Ok, I'm total noob but not complete idiot. Just want to get that out of the way
I have have the Galaxy S4 Google Edition running Android 4.3.
I unlocked the bootloader before the Android 4.3 update, but have never had root access. I've tried motochopper program, but keep getting failure errors and continued no root.
What I'd like to do is restore my device to stock and run it over again. I'm sure I did something wrong at somepoint.
Can someone please help me?

1. Go here and download the CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Place the installable zip on your INTERNAL SD Card.
2. Get CWM:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Go here and grab CWM 6.0.3.6 for the INTERNATIONAL I9505 - yes, it works on the I9505G
Put your phone in fastboot mode by turning off the phone completely. Hold down Vol-Up Vol-Down and power simultaneously.
Since you already seem to have adb, you probably have the fastboot executable.
From your computer's command line type "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.6-jfltexx.img"
This will boot recovery - temporarily - it will not overwrite the recovery on your phone.
Choose install zip from sdcard. Navigate to the installable zip that you placed on you sdcard in a prior step.
Reboot. When CWM asks to fix "this may overwrite your recovery" SAY NO. Just let it reboot.
You will be rooted. Download and install busybox from the market to complete the process.

Worked like a charm! Only hiccup I had was it wouldn't let me access the file from the SD card, only internal memory.
2nd question is, IF i needed to restore everything to stock again at some point in the future, what steps would I need to take?

Since you have the stock recovery, all you need to do is unroot and you're done. Triangle Away works fine for the I9505G just in case you've bumped you flash counter. Ah yes, search the forums for busybox uninstaller. It's also a flashable zip.

Hi all,
I just finished testing the new method of rooting using new SuperSU system-less and it's working well on my P600. I don't have other device to test it on, but if you guys could test it out on your device and report back, that would be nice.
Here how to root using new SuperSU system-less app:
Prep:
1) Download Odin 3.09 http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.Vm3AglE1I-Q
2) Download SuperSu version 2.6.2 to your SDcard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
3) Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 tar file to your PC here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ (you must use Spen to navigate, touch won't work)
For P605 - Please use twrp-2.8.7.0-lt03ltexx-4.4.img.tar version here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03ltexx/
4) Download the full stock 5.1.1 firmware by download this tool to your PC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then use the tool to download 5.1.1 rom (very fast download). set model=sm-p600, region=XAR, put a check in "Auto" and "Decrypte automatically"
Execcution:
1) Use Odin to flash full factory rom 5.1.1 to your device with "Auto Reboot" checked. If you already using 5.1.1 with root, you can just flash over your current one. Your data will be preserved. It's not nessessary to flash the full firmware but it's easier and less confuse. Once completed your device will reboot. Now boot back to download mode.
2) Use Odin to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with "Auto Reboot" UNchecked. Once completed. Hold Vol up+Home+power buttons to boot to TWRP recovery(do not let your device boot up). It will take a while so just wait. You also will see a red message warning about SEdroid security..blah blah...just ignore it. If you want TWRP touch, you can flash this version zip (can't flash through ODIN) before proceed. https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi
3) Once in TWRP, flash the SuperSU 2.6.1 system-less. Becareful here, after hit REBOOT, If TWRP offered to root, DO NOT DO IT (You will bootloop if you miss this step). Hit on "do not install". Your device will reboot. Done!! This SuperSU will patch your kernel and install root. Once completed boot up and enjoy. Your system is now rooted with TWRP installed. Pretty nice!!
EDIT: You also need to disable "Security change" pop up by remove or use Titanium to disable "Security policy updates" and "SecurityLogAgent". I heard report that if you don't your device may bootloop later on.
@joshndroid made his own version of twrp 2.8.7 which has full touch support/recognition (not just the s-pen). Here is the link:
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi Maybe could you put this version in the OP as another option instead of the official twrp?
Guys, a question. Can i use the exynos version of TWRP, ie- lt03wifiue, on my SM-P601, which is also the exynos one, but with 3G support.?
Thanks.

Good point, I didn't notice that, however we could flash the official twrp with odin, and then we could flash joshndroid's twrp from the official twrp. So could you add that to the op?

Did you install supersu from the playstore and did it ask to update binaries? I can't remember when I did mine if it asked or not. I don't have any su issues with mine.
Flash firm doj3 with odin
Reboot in bootloader
Flash twrp with odin
Reboot in twrp
Flash supersu 2.61
Reboot.
Kernel seem to be patched (red warning message), Supersu app is present with no binarie update needed.
Reboot in twrp and Flash xposed wanam mod
Result:
Titanium Backup: ok
Rebooter app: nok
Freeze after 2 mins: have to hard reboot, again and again.
So, I flash again with odin and use the old method (boot patched)
how do i uninstall twrp?

Flash a different recovery, either with twrp or odin. Why do you want to remove twrp?
Done and completed
twrp not working correctly, it did previously, but after the update, it doesn't.

I sure did, and should've been clearer. I'm running 5.1.1 XAR that I Odin'd yesterday. USB debugging is enabled, and Odin tries/fails when trying to load up to 4 versions of TWRP that I've tried. Further, I get corrupted firmware after it tries, and have to reinstall v5.1.1 (if that tells those much smarter than I anything)

Can you try to boot int recovery to see if you can access stock recovery? Possible you need to do format storage?
Hello everyone, finally t shirt weather in Toronto as of today. Im here to ask for assisstance and I'd like to learn how to root and install a good custom Ron that is efficient,
I hear cynmod is good.
I'd also like to learn how to change the device id on this phone which is a
samsung galaxy s5 g900w8 5.1.1 (Canadian model).
Side note; Im newb so the more detail the better Thanks
3 files needed. recovery, modded kernel and su beta. The better rom is completely subjective a lot of roms and different with both good and bad behaviors. You choose.

Also a noob with a SM-G900W8
Also am a noob, tried a few links. got stuck in bootloops.
What is a guaranteed root method so i dont have to flash stock or format again?
Same model as what he asked about.
Could u supply step by step directions please?
Either flash this with ODIN
http://download.chainfire.eu/406/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kltecan-kltevl-smg900w8.zip
Or if that causes a bootloop,
Copy SuperSU to your Micro SDcard / Phone storage
flash TWRP with ODIN, but uncheck "Auto Reboot" first
When it finishes flashing, pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace battery
Boot immediately into recovery and flash SuperSU
Reboot to rooted Android
I already tried flashing that one and it caused bootloops or frozen at bootup.
Where can i download the TWRP that youre suggesting to flash?
And where can i find a confirmed download for SuperSU?

Copy this SuperSU to your card or phone first

ok sorry. thanks!
Copy SuperSU to phone or sdcard
Open ODIN and uncheck "Auto reboot"
Add TWRP to AP or PDA
Put phone in download mode
Flash TWRP
Pull battery to power off
Replace battery
Boot immediately into recovery (Volume Up & Home & Power)
Flash SuperSU
If asked, say NO to flashing root superSU again before exit
Reboot into android
K i did those steps EXACTLY. and its in bootloop now.
Downloaded the 3.0 tar file, downloaded the 2.46 SuperSU
unchecked reboot in odin, then flashed twrp. once it finished i pulled battery. booted into recovery to twrp setup. selected install. selected supersu, installed. said complete. restarted phone. bootloop

Use Odin to flash back to stock rom and check the forum for the correct method to root your model, usually this involves flashing a custom recovery and the supersu.zip

thats exactly what it is suposed to do. when you root it should go recovery to do its magic. let it go and will restart back into normal mode.

Depends on the root method, I've never been forced into recovery over root.
Also I find with the g531h that I've got to pull the battery and restart over booting issues after root, installing supersu via zip in recovery didn't change that.
Reflashing to a stock firmware, flashing twrp and rooting using a flashable supersu.zip is the cleanest method, but it doesn't "force" you into recovery after a reboot, that would imply there's a problem?

download.chainfire.eu/665/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-fortuna3g-fortuna3gxx-smg530h.zip
if so, the behaviour he observed is indeed expected.
Hi. My phone status:
PLK-L01
PLK-L01C432B180
EMUI version 3.1
5.0.2
rooted with TWRP boot recovery.
I'm looking for steps to update to android version 6.0.1 without losing all of my data, and keeping phone rooted and same recovery.
Is this something which is possible?
The only steps I have found is to how to replace stock recovery to update OTA.
I expect I would then need to root phone again afterwards.
Is this the recommended way of updating, or can I manually perform the update safely, and are there tried and tested instructions for this?
Many Thanks in advance for any responses.

Completely unroot from settings menu in SuperSU app, Download latest firmware that is B380, use Huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery from update.app which you will get by extracting firmware, flash it in bootloader mode.
Copy update.app to dload folder in SD card, turn off your phone. Press and hold power, Vol up, vol down until a reboot. Let go of power after booting but keep other two pressed for five, six sec more.

Hi. Many thanks for the prompt response.
That all seems straight forward, I just have one step I'd like you to confirm, if you would, and an additional question:
"flash it in bootloader mode"
So, after unrooting the phone, I will still have TWRP recovery available to use?
And, once I am at latest 6 firmware, do I need to use something like SRK Tools to reroot, or will SuperSU app still be installed and able to perform the re-root?
Thanks,
M.

After the unroot, the twrp recovery will still be there. You need to replace it with stock recovery by flashing it in bootloader mode, only then you can upgrade.
After upgrading to 6.0 you need to flash twrp again (in bootloader mode) and then flash SuperSU 2.62 (in twrp, for a root). Don't flash any other version.

Thanks for the support.
OK, I'm going to leave it for today, and try again tomorrow.
Basically, I go through the steps to flash the stock recovery but can't complete this first step ;
By the way, there are 2 files in the update.app - recovery.img and recovery2.img. Does it matter which one I use?
And does the header file need to be in the same location, or can that be ignored for this step?
Anyhoo, after flashing via command line, and then do the final 'fastboot reboot' the phone just goes into a continuous boot loop until I interrupt by holding down all of the buttons.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I seem to remember I had this same issue when I first got the phone and was trying to get TWRP recovery installed using this method, and can't for the life of me remember how I got through it
@hoodoo_mc
you have to use recovery.img for the system recovery partition! >>> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery2.img is for the e-recovery partition only!
the header files could be ignored!
But you should flash the boot.img also! >>> fastboot flash boot boot.img >>> because SuperSU has made some changes to your boot partition!!!
to be absolutely save, you should flash the system.img to prevent other problems at last! >>> fastboot flash system system.img
If you use the B380 file to update, you will not loose your data! But it could be clever to backup your personal data and your files with the HUAWEI Backup app!
Good Luck!

Thank you so much guys @non-toxic and @Mansehra
Using your help I successfully upgraded to B380 and have my phone rooted again with TWRP recovery, and no data lost.
Cheers,

where is it for if you can use TWRP and HUAWEI Update together??
BTW: Had compared greenify with Lollipop and MM and for me greenify makes no sense!
Power consumption was the same as without! (on my device = 6%/24h! -GSM2 -no WLAN -no GPS -noBT -no DATA sync)

For me it does make sense as I don't want Facebook and similar apps to run in the background nagging me with updates. I want them to run and update myself when I have time and tap on them. For battery, it does save some juice for me.
What's the comment about TWRP and Huawei update.
I am not sure what you mean by it.
ah, ok i see... it is neccesarry for YOU!
BtT. and thx bro:good:
