Bricked the Droid Razr M

Hello all, I was given this old droid razr m today. It was currently running android 4.1.2 with the build 9.8.1q-78. I rooted it with towelroot and tried to unlock the bootloader (which failed), so I resorted to safestrap.
On safestrap I tried flashing this one rom which apparently didn't work on safestrap. I forgot to wipe. After I flashed the rom, I rebooted. The bootloader said this:
Code:
Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
Status code was 8 or something.
I tried flashing VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF.xml.zip from here but it failed:

I'm stuck here. I can still go into the stock recovery.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

It looks like it failed because you tried to downgrade. You need to flash firmware that's is the same as yours or newer. Since you need to flash the same or newer, flash the 4.4 firmware, root with Towel Root, and unlock with Motopocalypse (yes, it is possible to unlock on the latest OTA).

Alright, thanks. I'm downloading the 4.4 firmware now. I'll report back with the results.

It won't let me link an image so, http puu.sh / bkzAY / 207f945b1d.png
Probably not a good sign.
EDIT: Removed the offending line from the xml file and reloaded it... it flashing now.
EDIT2: It fails.

EDIT3: Flashing system.img manually worked. It's booting now!

Good to see things worked out.

[GUIDE] Black screen after downgrade from Lolipop

Hello everybody !
If you have downgraded from Lolipop to a KitKat ROM and you have issued black screen during call, I have find the solution:
You don't need to flash the Stock ROM. Just flash a Modem from a Stock ROM, Lolipop Modem doesn't work fine on KitKat, proximity sensor is busy and the screen don't wake up during call.
You can find here the latest Stock Modem (XNPH05Q) : MEGA | MediaFire
MD5 : 2fff2a1d9719294db84b714f4389ce6f
You don't need to wipe anything and it doesn't wipe anything. Just flash it and enjoy

Can't get it to install with TWRP. When I try to do it, TWRP restarts. On reboot still get black screen on phone call. Is it indeed flashable from recovery?

Yay, of course, it's a flashable .zip, do you use the latest release of TWRP (2.8.6.X) ?

Mmh, I try to flash and it's works fine, here a screenshot :

Then there's something wrong with the recovery or file. Try Calkulin's modem? If it fails again I think there is something wrong with your TWRP. Btw, you need to manually fastboot erase modem in order to flash the KK modem. Last time I tried it won't let me overwrite Lollipop modem with KK modem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-xnph05q-t3027033

I can overwrite LP modem with KK modem.
The flashable zip seems work fine on two OnePlus. I think it's his recovery who doesn't work

TWRP 2.8.6.0, haven't had any issues with it aside with this. Just tried flashing it, didn't know I needed to fastboot erase the LP modem.
Probably better it didn't work when I tried; made me go in search of a different rom I haven't tried yet [emoji51]

Galaxy A700FD bootloop after updating SuperSU

Hi there, I've been having problems with the Titanium Backup recently and tried some troubleshooting method such as unticking Mount namespace separation in SuperSU. They didn't work until i get to the point on updating the SuperSU from Play store. Then asked me to update the binary which i selected TWRP and it rebooted. After the installation from TWRP, it only boots to recovery. Tried turning off the phone and it still go to recovery even if i select reboot system.
Now i tried re-flashing the 'CF-Auto-Root-a7lte-a7ltexx-sma700fd.tar' via Odin3. It completed but then it's only boot looping. Sure i know it would reset multiple times but it has been more than 30mins doing like that over and over again. Tried to flash the TWRP again via Odin and wiped data/system/cache. And tried installing the Ressurection rom but it fails it gives me error "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/A7 Root and all/Roms/RessurectionRemix........"
Error flashing zip........
Then tried rebooting system. It said no OS installed proceed to reboot then saying device does not appeared to be rooted and asked me to install SuperSU which I did and it just restarted and still on boot loop....
Any help, please? TIA

Phone possibly soft-bricked, ways to recover without wiping data?

Hey strangers,
Does anyone got any ideas about recovering this phone wihtout wiping it's data? It's supposed to have ADB enabled, but it won't boot to OS.
Video:
I would prefer to get to backup it, but recovery is unacessable and Download mode most likely works but it's not 100% sure.

Have you tried flashing a custom recovery ??
TWRP tar through Odin.
See TWRP THREAD in development.

Haven't yet, but should I be able to just fix the bootloader and it should work? If yes, how should it be done? Backup first though, probably.

Bootloaders in the bootloader and modem threads.

I have flashed the OS fully to the phone, but now it's in a bootloop trying to go to recovery which for some reason does not work neither does flashing TWRP as it stil won't boot to the recovery.
Does anyone happen to have a PIT file for this device?
Exact model: SM-N9005 (International version)

Nope didin't help at least the same pit file as the one user reported as working, but started a thread on sammobile forums.
EDIT: I were able to boot to OS once, but don't know how. This is really wierd behavior.

[SOLVED] I do have ROOT ACCESS but Magisk is not installed!

Phone info: March Security Update (i dont know why i didn't update it until now lol)
So back then I successfully rooted my phone - and it works i do have root access and magisk is installed. But after a few months just like 4-5, i noticed that the magisk is not installed on my phone so I can't install magisk modules.
Here's my screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see from my screenshots, I do have root access but the thing is The magisk is not installed even though I've tried to root it again using patched_boot.img (MARCH UPDATE) - still not yet installed. I tried to install the magisk using that install buttom from magisk app itself but still didn't work. I don't know how it happened. I wasn't doing anything even though i am not uninstalling magisk - it's just disappears from my phone lol.
Any recommendation for my problem? I need your help guys and thank you for those who are going to answer my problem!

thank you guys! My problem has been solved through installing magisk via TWRP. I installed the old version of magisk and it didn't work. It needs to install the latest version of Magisk. thank you again for helping me!
