hi all
im running rooted stock rom, and received the security update, but when im trying to install , phone boots to twrp.
now phone keeps rebooting ' how do i stop this?
is there a way i can install it via twrp, or only when a zip file will come up, i will be able to update?
thx in advance for helping
I'm in the same boat. I knew not to let it. My wife had my phone and thought she was helping. It's looking for the stock release keys. It generates a log file in /system/tmp
From what I can recall, stock recovery has to be reflashed. I just need to kill the forced reboot so I can use the phone temporarily.
I was stupid enough not to backup before trying to update..
Is there a way to flash this thing?
Use TWRP to wipe cache. That will delete the OTA file and break the bootloop.

Yeah, go back to stock...
OTA updates are only for a pure stock device... No TWRP, no root, no Xposed, nothing, must be ABSOLUTELY stock or it will/can fail.

Yes, exactly... And I would also recommend disabling the notification in system app Motorola Update Services so you are no longer nagged about the update.

thanks for the help
i went the systemless root method, thinking i would be able to update via ota's, guess not. however, clearing the cache did stop the reboot loop, thanks!

I had that error too when I was trying. I was on D80010q before the 4.4.2 update(D80010c after update I think). Looks like you have the same issue I had.
I'm pretty sure the only way to root it now is to downgrade the firmware, then root. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150
Also: Mid-way through this is the ansewer. You must downgrade before rooting. (the link above is to downgrade & root).

Thank You! But I have the d801. I think I found one within xda search.
BTW guys who rooted and in 2.19.40.18, I think you will get bootloop even after update is successfully complete... Please verify if you updated and successfully booted from 2.19.40.18 to 2.19.40.20... I seen 2 of them got bootloop

Yup. I am rooted before. I just unfreeze system apps and bloatware first, then remove xposed (no need to remove the xposed modules; they will not work if xposed is not installed), then unroot via SuperSU, and finally performed system update. After the update, I root my phone again, then install xposed again, then finally freeze system apps and bloatwares again.
delete Xposed and unroot
Then sideload OTA
working fine

i uninstalled root,busybox but i forgot to uninstall xposed and i stuck in bootloop.i think i have to reflesh pre root 2.19.40.18.
for my fortune i had twrp and i did a backup of whaat twrp calls "data" in microsd and then i copied in my pc.save files of games are in ?
NOTE NOTE:
I update ok 2.19.40.20
BUT then i flash twrp and flash super suV2.46 ..........hic hic bootllop
i dont understand
i dont understand... Everywhere people are saying to un-root first....As i remember last time we got a new one click root tool which allowed us to update via OTA without un-rooting... Will confirm if un-rooting is necessary or root can survive the OTA.
FW 2.19.40.20
Use TWRP flash super SU =>>> zenfone 2 bootlop
Use tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/zenfone-2-root-easy-t3114003
Root okie and work very good
Okay guys i updated to the latest fw NOW I CAN CONFIRM UN-ROOTING BEFORE APPLYING OTA IS NOT NECESSARY... here is what i did:
NOTE: ROOT SURVIVES OTA AND THERE ARE NO BOOTLOOPS ... BUT REMEMBER I USED THE LATEST 1 CLICK ROOT TOOL WHICH ALLOWS US TO APPLY OTA WITHOUT UN-ROOTING...IF U HAVE ROOTED YOUR PHONE VIA DIFFERENT METHOD U HAVE TO UN-ROOT FIRST......
1) Unfrozed all the frozen apps
2) Un-installed Xposed....
3) Un-installed BusyBox
4) Applied OTA
5) And Voila i was on the latest firmware...

Exactly what I did. But gave me an error while flashing.
After reboot there was a message and still on .18. :-/
I rooted with the latest root tool (3rd option). I did apply OTA withouth unfreezing apps and I had no problem with my phone. Everything is working and took no more than 2-3 minutes to complete.

Without UN-FREEZING you got no bootloops or anything rite? This is nice :good: finally this is what i was looking for... i hate un-freezing bloatware regularly as Asus has been providing regular updates it just adds to the steps for updating...
Hi
just xposed, but removed before ota.
bloatware was just frozen and unfrozen before.
But I think the whole thing is a bit f*cked up now. Tried to clear cache in recovery and now am in bootloop

No i didnt. I have to say that I didnt freeze everything Asus put on my phone but just what I dont use. I could give you a list but I'm pretty sure its not gonna make a difference. 3rd root tool works with OTA w/o unfreezing bloatware. At least for me.

I am not sure but maybe it happened because of busybox... There are some applets or sumthing which modify/add files to the system and system/bin folder....

:good: i am sorry but this is off-topic....did u or someone install Xposed framework latest build (official alpha3 version)... i am having issues with installation... can someone help me with xposed latest build (official alpha3)
Sorry guys,
I lied. :-/
Fastboot flashed the recovery after bootloop, rebooted into it. Cleared cache again (which now worked) and sideloaded the update an that complains by verify.
Turns out I did indeed turn on sw navbar in the build....prop.
Gonna revert the changes there and try again to update.
THX & MEA CULPA
what i've done :
i Left on my phone : busybox and frozen apps
just :
removed xposed
removed supersu
apply OTA
install Root
install xposed
also my bootloader still unlocked
Done.
So is it a little bit lottery to flash ota, any one tried to download ota file to phone and flash it from recovery automatically?

I'm new so please forgive me and my ignorance through all of this. I had a great root experience with my old LG G3, so when I got my Axon 7 (A2017U) I thought I'd try to root it too. I tried to follow DrakenFX's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204) but I bit off more than I could chew. I got to the point where I had TWRP up, but this is where I think things started to fall apart. I was confused by the instructions and in a haste I continued anyway. In TWRP I went to Wipe>Format Data typed in yes like TWRP said and boom, I had no idea what happened. Rebooting only got a screen that said "Type in your password" but my passcode I had on the phone before it bricked didn't work. So by now I start panicking a bit. I thought I made a mistake earlier so I went back and tried to reinstall TWRP by putting the phone into EDL. The phone got stuck that way for a while, but I now I have it in TWRP. Right now, I just want to get back to safe stock android.
I'm 200% sure I messed with something I wasn't supposed to and I believe that is the system image(?)which Draken also linked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68248798&postcount=53). I'm downloading it as I type. I'm going to do my best to leave my phone just like it is right now, in TWRP, and wait for more advice on this before I do anything else.. What I'm curious about is where did I go wrong and what do I need to do to get my phone working again, preferably without returning it? Thank you for any advice you have to offer.
Update: It's worth noting I didn't know to enable OEM Unlocking when I was in stock android. Dumb move I know. I'm new here.

no no no no ..................... put phone in EDL mode. Copy the stock image into the folder with the axon7root.exe file you used to flash TWRP. Make sure the stock file is named recovery.img (or whatever the TWRP file is named in that folder, it has been a long time since I did this). Then use the axon7root.exe program the exact same way you did before. It will flash the stock recovery. Then in stock recovery you can flash the B20 from ZTE

Maybe - I'd have to download it to find out. If you can't get stock recovery to take it this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69434328&postcount=17 gives you instructions on what lines to remove from the updater-script to make it flash in TWRP (I didn't have a problem making the stock B20 go in stock recovery, but I was unlocked at the time). You could reflash TWRP and try that.

I'm going to try the first option. The second option's link take horrendously long to download.
Update: Trying to flash from TWRP results in error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' which makes no sense since update binary is exactly where it should be.
Further Update: It seems that the problem might have been that when I compressed "update.zip" to fix "updater-script" it changed to file path by adding the title of the folder "update" to the beginning. I think that messed with the path giving the the meta-inf error.

I see SuperSU installed so it worked. Thank you.
Do you know which TWRP I can install now?

Ok thank you. I downloaded the cf auto root from the link you provided. I enabled debugging and oem, I disabled "verify apps by USB" not adb.
I'll give it a go...

Well I flashed it using odin. It says "pass" in odin and took a while to boot, but I think it worked. How do I verify? Download an app? And can I flash TWRP? If so, which one?
Thank you for your help

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop
Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
Hey guys I'm a big idiot. I have a mi 9t on Global 10.0.4.0 which I just rooted, I thought I'd get rid of some of the bloatware so I installed titanium backup and started getting rid of some mi apps. I clealy wasn't paying much attention while doing so tho because I pressed on the wrong thing and ended up deleting MiUpdater instead of MiPay, now when I go to system update I just get a black screen. I tried looking online for an apk of MiUpdater but I only found an older version 6.0.0 which failed to install.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, maybe a link to the latest version or a backup of some sort. Thanks in advance.
reinstall rom, the quickest way

That's what I was hoping I could avoid
So to do that I'd have to download the latest stable miui build for my phone and flash it using twrp? I assume that would erase all my data? How about Magisk/edxposed?
Btw, in future, you can debloat by ADB, just by disabling unwanted packages - root not required
