I installed the latest Merruks kernel and my device got stuck in a bootloop. I reinstalled whitexp kernel and the device booted sucessfully, but I lost root. I tried re-rooting the device but it seems it tries to do copy su to /merruk/su which doesn't exist, and "root by CWM" apps don't work either.
What do I do?
I'd post in the kernel's thread but since I'm new I can't.

reflash your rom if you are in a custom rom,. . . either reflash your stock fw via odin and reroot it,

After part 3, I reboot my phone and it's stuck in the booting screen (the one that says galay y). I left it there, to see if it eventually boots, but it's been over an hour and nothing yet. Do I continue to part 4?
For future reference, the post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229940
2-3 mins are enough to know if ur phone has entered a bootloop or not -_-
Yeah continue to part 4
=========HOLO-UBUNTU========theme
Good news: The next step worked, and I got to see the kernel loaded.
I had to reboot a couple of times for all to take. Still, my widgets wont load... strange.
Thanks for your help and your guide, btw.

hello. first of all, i am a complete noob. although i will be glad to learn, i guess i will need slow explanations...
so, i have rooted my defy plus 2.3.6 , then installed 2nd init bootmenu and took a backup. then tried to flash this and ever since im getting only the moto splash screen and a reboot over and over.
ive tried looking all over this forum for a solution... tried doing custom recovery but it says no such file or directory, tried doing a stock recovery and it gets me to android system recovery. i also tried flashing different roms on my sd, using the android system recovery, but it says signature verification failed
even did a factory reset .
am i doomed to see this logo till the rest of my life?:crying:
The solution should be simple, you must flash your phone using RSDLite again.
your clockworkmodrecovery-menu is gone with the factoryreset in stock-recovery.
So you must flash again the rooted SBF for the defy+, installing 2nd init bootmenu and choose the right flashable zip for your device.
A flashable.zip for a samsung galaxy s2 will not work on a defy+.
in which stage should i connect my droid to the computer ?
usually when i connect it , RSDlite dont see it.
can you post a link to some stable flashable zip for defy plus?
You can use this:
http://roms.custom-android.de/counter/click.php?id=86
it is the white Rabbit Plus Edition v1.6.
To flash a brand new SBF you must enter the bootloader, then rsdlite should recognize your device.

wow!! i guess it was nothing for u, it was everything for me!!
u literally saved me! :victory:
(ok, ok at least my phone... )
really, the thanks button is to small..:fingers-crossed:
can i do something else?
oh and another thing , will the defy+ work with miui?
or alternatively is there a rtl fix for cm7 ?
You can also try this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543272
but AFAIK MIUI CM9 (V4) lags a little bit more then CM7-Built, or cyanogenmod CM9-builds.
AFAIK, there not really full ported MIUI for the defy+.
The WhiteRabbit emulates the miui-Style in the best way.
hello to all xda members
in the past i update a gt540 (1.6) to 2.1 and then to cyanogenmod, this come new from store with 1.6 and never have a problem with this phone.
Now i buy a gsm unlocked gt540 wich come from store with 2.1 and then i tried to update to 2.1 stock fastboot rom with kdz updater(using the same guide that i used in the first phone), the problem is that the process was stopped and the Phone was COMPLETELY bricked.
The only way to come back to life was a complex conection(jtag) with a box named "Medusa box", but the problems no stop here, when the phone turn on there is no way to grab signal until i used a lge oficial box to repair NVM and then unlockconfused: the phone was from factory unlocked) again the phone.
i need install cyanogenmod, bacause the phone is actually no fully working since enach time, this said some like this."process android was stoped," an others like this saying a process o app stop working.
i need your help to now how update, or if the phones that come from factory with 2.1 use a diferent way to update.
the photo is my actual rom(2.1 oficial rom)

Need to think this through...
you can go into download mode right? then follow this guide to install fastboot.. then the phone will bootloop. Just download cwm or twrp from android development section and flash using fastboot.. then install any ROM...

Thanks this finally works.
hi,
with fastboot mod, my phone d'ont won't to pass the cyanogen blue cross at the first boot.
So, i install the clockworkrecovery.img, i download the SDSL rom for recovery, and it was quickly and secure installed.
*##### EDIT #####*:
Who would have thought that running Windows with VMWare Fusion on Mac OS X could mean that Flashing tasks aren't always a possibility... Tried on a nearby Windows computer and it worked completely fine..! How disappointing, sorry the waste of post, could a Mod please delete this.
Cheers again.

Hello all.
I have a Galaxy S4 GT I-9505 which, to date, has shown me that it seems to be impossible to revert it back to stock firmware, of any kind...
I have tried numerous different stock firmwares and every single one has failed. I came from a Rom called 'Foxhound' and was a newly released 4.4.2 at the time, so I'm guessing KNOX has done something to the bootloader which has deemed my device in limbo - to my knowledge.
The thing is, I've come across a leaked 5.0.1 firmware for this device, so I thought I'd download it, only to notice that the Odin flash file wasn't a single TAR file but a series of other files that correspond to the functions of Odin.
From this point on, I decided to try and flash the Bootloader file by itself, and that WORKED. Of course, the only progress I was getting from this was the basic boot logo at the beginning of powering on the device.
Seeing as I was unable to boot into recovery, I thought I'd try and download an Odin flashable CWM Recovery, and this also WORKED.
The thing is, whenever I attempt to flash a full Rom through Odin, it will go through the inevitable error that it does with all attempts.
Here are some images:

I'm beyond frustrated by this as I can't deem the phone usable until I have it up and operational, and it is basically worth nothing in this state.
I would be endlessly grateful if someone would be able to point out what the possible issue may be, I would be beyond thankful!
Best regards,
Try to use Odin 3.09
So today i was installing Twrp and then i saw a version which is for Samsung Grand Prime VE i thought it would work on Samsung Grand Prime then i installed it and then after i installed it and rebooted my phone i got stuck at the boot screen with odin mode on the side, I have android 5.0.2 SM-G530H and its rooted.

Post the screenshot here when you get the error in Odin. Give me the details of your firmware you're trying to flash.
Also try changing the data cable, prefer the Original Samsung Cable.

Have you tempered with unlocking the phone? If so you'll need to reinstall stock rom

yes, i did that, i installed the latest stoc rom, but is the same.
What about factory resetting? and don't even think about locking the bootloader

That's very interesting! I had the same issue with that specific OTA update from 116-20-20 to -23 (RETEU channel // XT1926-3)
My bootloader is unlocked but I also installed the full stock ROM 116-20-20 from mirrors.lolinet.com before doing the update. After ROM was flashed I booted up normally without any modifications. Almost stock except the unlocked bootloader.
After the update was installed my first boot into the new 116-20-23 failed and led me to the same screen. But a factory reset solved the problem and I was able to boot up normally.
It seems to be a corrupt OTA update file...
