I recently rooted my samsung galaxy tab with z4root using the permanent root option, after rooting, it was successful, and I got superuser, everything was great, so I downloaded rom manager and installed a recovery, there was no recovery for the p100 tab only for t-mobile, verizon and at&t, so I used the t-mobile recovery and after rebooted the tab while holding down the volume down button to get in to the bootloader so I can get into recovery, but as soon as I do this, a big triangle sign appears and a downloading line appears, and underneath that it says please don't turn off system, but it does nothing, I want to install a custom rom but I can't... PLEASE HELP ME... I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ...thanks...could I have bricked it...PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
EDIT: this is an unlocked, unbranded gsm tab
no one willing to help

Hi everyone. I was attempting to update the firmware on my note 3 using the Verizon software assistant when my son unplugged the phone when it was a little more than halfway done. It's unlocked with Verizon as the original carrier, SM-900V is the model number. I've tried to master reset as well but it just turns off briefly and returns to the same screen, the only other screen I can get to is a warning telling me that downloading a custom OS can cause critical problems and to press volume down or up to continue or cancel. When I press up it says Downloading, don't turn off target but it just stays there. I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to rooting or installing custom OS and such things but I'd just like to restore it back to factory 4.4.2 which it was running previously. Can someone help me out with a relatively simple explanation as to what to do? It's much appreciated, just got this thing yesterday and I'd like to get it up and running asap. Thanks again.
Connect it to Samsung kies and perform an emergency repair.
Alternatively go to sam firmware.com and download the correct firmware you require and flash it using odin un download mode ( the screen that you saw that said downloading)
I believe my phone is Hard-Bricked.
It is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime sm-G530a.
Its AT&T.
It was running 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Basically I opened developer options , Ticked OEM Unlock, An enabled USB Debugging.
Then I used KingRoot APK to Root Phone.
Everything was successful I used RootChecker from Playstore to check root. It was Rooted.
Then I Installed TWRP Manager from Play Store, and here's where I messed up.
It asked me to locate my device, An I accidentally installed Galaxy Grand Prime Duo Recovery.
So the phone restarted an all I get is Blank Screen and it Vibrates every 1-3 Seconds.
The computer wont recognize it and I have no clue what to do.
So please anyone on here with more smarts then me please lend a Helping hand.
I don't mind donating after problem is resolved cuz its a cheaper option than buying all new device,
P.S.
There are three stages to bricked correct,
1. Bricked wont Do Anythin!
2. Hard Bricked Messed up System Partition, Blah Blah!
3. Soft Bricked simply Install new OS or what have you!
I just recently flashed a recovery instead of a boot img and had some issues I swung hard at and succeeded. I know how it feels to be there man. Hope to help here, can you boot into download mode??
Vol Up, Menu, Pwr Button? This way you can flash stock 5.1.1 using Odin...
Try booting to download mode. If is won't work try the jit cable method
Sent from my SM-G530H using XDA-Developers mobile app
re
there is another way aswell.. if he can go to recovery then clear cache three times then clear factory 3 times and take out battery. now here's the hard step (a little) : hold the download mode combo keys and put in the battery
and the computer will recognize it.
carefully follow steps and i think it will work.
First and foremost, I have searched but cannot find someone who has experienced a similar issue as myself.
I have followed the instructions on stechguide (cannot link as I am too new) to flash TWRP onto my s7 edge (Exynos).
However, after booting into recovery, I get a blue screen with an android spinning around saying "installing system update"
and then shortly after that I get a dead android dreaming of a big "!" warning symbol.
It then loads Android Recovery:
MMB29K.G935FXXU1APF2
Samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte
6.0.1
giving me the usual samsung recovery options. I am too scared to try anything else (brand new phone) so I just opt to reboot the phone..
The phone still seems to boot fine, however the fact that TWRP is not working and the warning symbol when trying to access recovery is bothering me. Also, when the phone starts, it seems to default to showing me my samsung registration information. Strange
Does anyone know why this might be? Flahsed twrp-3.0.2-2 img tar file, using odin 3.10.7 with these USB driers SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe (downloaded through the Verizon link)
any help appreciated
thanks for your time.
I have now resolved my problem. I needed to hold the recovery buttons immediately after flashing. Mods please delete this thread.
Hello. I was working on a phone, an samsung galaxy s5 (chinese version) sm-g9006v and I tried to root it in order to add playstore and more to the device.
However, I used odin and a CF-autoroot file for this device.
After that the device went in a blocked white screen with a chinese log and on top left it wrote "set warranty bit recovery" and some other text.
Waited a bit since I thought it was a phase that was required for the root process to continue but it didn't do anything for a few good minutes, however i proceded to remove the battery (since the power button wasn't helping to reset the device) and now it won't start and it won't enter in a download state to use odin to eventually flash something else onto it.
Any help is appreciated as I'm kind of desperate at this point. Thank you.
Edit: if I connect it to the pc it gets in a start-up loop i believe.

Use Samsung KIES 3 and select "Emergency Firmware Recovery" or "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". This worked for me even after a botched recovery flash that prevented me from going into Download mode.
Hi, I bought a second hand zte axon 7 a2017. I want told it was rooted or anything. Power button is squashed in so got it for cheap so bought it. Phone runs fine on stock rom and for restarting etc I use mi pop and power button can still be used by poking it hard at an angle with stick etc. I'm familiar with rooting, flashing etc but it is the first time I'm using zte so it's bit different.
Issue is I want to root it to get rid of bloatware etc. I downloaded Root Check app and it says it is rooted and busybox is installed but there is no super user app. Funny thing is I have no means to check if bootloader is unlocked and can't even boot to bootloader mode as it just gets stuck at zte logo when I try to boot to bootloader mode from recovery mode. I get to recovery mode by restarting the phone from mi-pop and holding the volume up button. I don't even think there is custom recovery installed too which I don't know how that's possible as my understanding was custom recovery needs to be installed earlier in order to root.
Can someone please throw some light and give me some guidance. I want to go full stock but rooted and want custom recovery too just so that i can make a nandroid back up.
I'm on Mi favor 4.0
ZTE_A2017V1.0.0.B07.0
Thank you in advance
I'm on the US variant so I'm not too familiar with yours. I would suggest starting from stock, and downloading MiFlash, and the latest MiFlash edl package for your variant.

Okay, couple o' things:
- If your bootloader is unlocked, there should be a screen when your turn on the phone that says 'Your phone can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader' which is there for around 10 secs. If you use the volume buttons from there you should be able to select recovery or bootloader
-It is possible that you don't even have a working bootloader mode. IN CASE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SCREEN I PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT, try with adb: install adb, enable usb debugging, authenticate in the phone, "adb reboot bootloader". If it reboots into the bootloader (Should say START in green plus some text) then you can unlock the bootloader. But follow a guide before attempting that, or you'll risk a brick
-Having the stock recovery doesn't necessarily mean that the phone is not rooted. If you have the stock recovery it could be because the previous owner simply rooted it, used it, then flashed the stock recovery and sold the phone like that. Which is really weird in itself
-What you should do to recover from this mess is use MiFlash. Find a package called "A2017_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL" (might have a version number somewhere, just use the most recent). Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging, then issue "adb reboot edl". The phone seems off but it's not. Now unpack the file and install it to the phone with MiFlash.
After you reflash the system you can proceed with a guide. If you get the warning screen when you turn on the phone then your bootloader is already unlocked and you can proceed with installing TWRP (maybe via axon7tool) then flashing Magisk.
