[Q] Help in restoring OS

OK, So I have rooted some phones through Odin and have some experience regarding them. Today I was trying to root a Grand 2 G7102 when Odin crashed unexpectedly and my root process stopped and that is where my problems began. The phone now only boots into Odin downloading mode and the recovery mode is not working, Tried to repair it using Kies but it kept on giving me errors on the last step and it always stopped at 76%, next I tried to flash a custom ROM through Odin but that failed too. So any solutions or remedies for that?

no its depends upon whether you are able to boot after switching off the device
(if it doesn't then you got it bricked)
BTW till now there is no such problem that the anyone is stuck at download mode

Based on what you said, I think it's bricked. I tried the process you told me to do but it didn't work either and the phone isn't powering on at all.
The best option is giving it to the service center. Thanks for helping anyway. Gained experience from this though.

need help rooting my brand new S5 device

Ok so I received my new carrier unlocked s5 phone today I tried the brick bug app it says its a 11 device, the android version is BPB1 = 5.0
what can I actually do with this device?
I went threw the setup wizard and then downloaded kingroot to the phone and ran the app and it did not work for rooting. says (root failed no strategy now)
so I was unable to root is this device even root-able. can I do anything to get a custom recovery I would prefer philz touch or Clockwork mod recovery should I just pitch this phone ?
feeling hopeless.

ok so since the kingroot app did not work I tried the method located here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
rebooted the phone and then was stuck in a boot loop had to reflash to get it to boot back up still no root...
please help me I have no idea what to do now.
is this phone root able at all is any devs still working on this or no.
what do I do ?

Did you follow the instructions that were displayed in root.bat?

yes It rebooted my phone and downloaded/flashed whatever u call it with Odin but after the phone rebooted it would not boot just was stick on the loading samsung screen for about 5 mins so it bricked on me I had to download the stock flash from the official website and re flash the AP to get the phone to even come back on as restoring it from the stock recovery did nothing.

It bricked after flashing NK2_kernel, correct?

yes I believe so

That was supposed to happen. Restart the process but read ALL of the instructions in root.bat

No, that would disrupt the rooting process. Part of the rooting process is the phone getting softbricked.

Yes I tired phone was in download mode, debugging was on pc was set to remember, verify was unchecked. flashed via odin but the phone never reconnected after words

Idk why but that has happened to me before so yeah That can happen sometime
So flash nk2 kernel again and use root2 bat

Ok after about a hour or so I was fully able to do this on a 11 device using Kingroot/Safestrap .

Soft bricked Phone

I soft bricked my s7 edge while trying to install TWRP, I rooted the phone and not reading *yes don't kill me* didn't realize the tmobile version has a locked bootloader, so here I am with a soft brick phone at work trying to fix it, it seems I need a stock image for me to put it back to stock, but if there is a stock rooted rom that would be better, can someone guide me in the right direction?

You can use Smart Switch to go back to stock or ODIN.

Restore Original Boot Animation (Three UK)

So I have had a look and have seen things for rooted phones and for other phone models, but nothing yet for the S8. I have a UK (Three) phone that is otherwise unbranded with the exception of te boot animation showing the "3" logo rather than the Samsung one.
Is there a way of getting shot of the 3 boot animation (it looks rubbish) and having the Samsung one instead without root?

I have a Three UK S8 Plus too and want rid of this, as I've just got mine I haven't had chance to look around for a something (other than rooting, which I will be doing real soon anyway)
I was just looking for something that may just do it for now until I root, did you find anything ? I was maybe looking at some "bloatware" removal app /software, but does that remove the boot up screen horrible 3 logo ? Not sure..

just install stock firmware for this link: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-J320FN/BTU/download/J320FNXXU0ARH1/276931/ before you install firmware backup your phone with twrp. its just normal firmware with no three junk. if you wanna flash it 1. juts get the phone in download mode (find a tutorial for that 2. on your pc install odin flash tool and when your on the app plug in your phone into your pc and then click ap and then choose the firmware and then wait a sec and then click start and after the process is done it will say pass on the top and your phone should reboot and done your back to stockk i hope if it works

I tried to install new rom as tar file with oddin tool but when oddin finish the job i tried to boot the phone but constantly rebooting. Enyone can help me pls???

Did you check and make sure you ODIN the right ROM for your phone? Check the model in the recovery menu vs the one you installed, are they the same?

Yeah i download the correct rom from sammobile and i odin it.
After the installation I remove the phone from my pc and try to boot and the phone won't stop restarting, I change the battery from a friend phone and the phone boot normal I thing the problem is the battery and I order new one.
thx for the quick reply and sorry for my bad english
:crying:

When you do ODIN, did it say successfully completed?
Remove SD Card. Try to do a factory reset in the recovery menu.

ah ok thx a lot i ll do it.!
