[I screwed up!] Screen always on after root (CF Auto)

Hey!
Have an unlocked Swedish S4 and yesterday I decided to root and clean a few Samsung bloat. Everything went OK but my screen is always on (which of course is no good...). I've tried rebotting etc but nothing works. If I press the power button the screen is still on but if I hold the power button I can restart, shutdown etc.
Any ideas at all?
Thanks!

Well seems like...an issue with the auto root....best options now....since you do have root...is to go for a new ROM....or try flashing an official system and rerooting....I recommend the 1st option ....but you decide....good luck

Thanks for your reply. Could it be an app? I installed a few after the root-process. I have tried to uninstall them but no luck...

I've done this:
1. Unroot (from SU)
2. Reboot
3. Wipe cache
4. Reboot
5. Hard reset
6. Reboot
Still doesn't work...

H918 Issue...

So a Tmobile update came on my phone and I decided to click update for some stupid reason... Its early.
I was stock rooted with TWRP installed.
After clicking that it rebooted and went into TWRP recovery. Whether I reboot or turn off and manually go into recovery I can't get it to reboot normally whatsoever.
I tried to flash WETA rom and everything went properly with the install but affter the reboot I am still left with TWRP.
Any suggestions on how to get my phone working again. I am downloading the 10i KDZ file now but was hoping there was another answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit

Thanks for posting this. Same thing just happened to me and now my phone is back to normal.

[Q] Boot loop from deleting xposed.

So l had to reset my phone tonight and upon rebooting lt up l reinstalled all of my old apps. One of which ls amplify and l wasn't thinking about lt and lt auto downloaded and installed xposed module. l dld not proceed as lt hlt me that l had not rerooted and proceeded to uninstall xposed from within the app and lt asked to reboot for changes to take.
After this lt went to the logo and lt just stays there. l cant power lt off to force a hard reset because holding the power button just restarts the logo. Any help would be amazing right now.
TLDR:
Stock android lg g2 5.0.2 boot loop no twrp installed. uninstalled xposed that was auto downloaded and installed and rebooted into a loop.

you're not holding the power key long enough...
don't let off the power key when LG logo shows, hold it for a few seconds more ...
ONLY THEN the device will power off completely, and ONLY THEN you can try to enter the recovery via the button combination...

Ok got that to at least work so thanks heaps. Now to actually remove the xposed stuff. l tried to factory reset vla recovery and lt said erasing, but went back to the loop. Would you know how to go about dolng so? All of the search options mentioned using twrp but l never installed twrp as l just wanted root for the control.

how did you install xposed if you don't have twrp?

l was rooted before and an app called amplify auto downloaded xposed when l used a backup on a factory reset.

Rooted phone stuck on encryption

Hi all need help. I started encryption on my rooted S80 and read later that I needed to remove root beforehand. Now it is stuck in the encryption padlock for a few hours. I tried restarting and couldn't get out of this mode and cannot enter recovery. Any advise?

Also stuck

I am in the same boat. Any luck fixing this?

Hi guys, I stumbled on this thread on Friday 12-01-2018 cos I ran into the exact same problem. I was shocked no one responded with a solution. Well after scrambling with trials and guesses, I found one that worked. if you haven't already solved this problem, the simplest solution is to do the following:
Please note: This works for already rooted devices running TWRP recovery
1. Allow the phone to run out of charge while stuck on the encryption screen
2. Plug the phone to charge up without pressing the power button
3. Unplug the power cord and press Vol up+ bixby + power button at together to boot into recovery mode
4. Press Backup (yes you can still backup your data to external SD)
5. After backup, go back to the main TWRP menu and press WIPE
6. Press FORMAT DATA
7. Reboot the phone (you'll receive a warning that No OS Installed... this is good cos it means you've successfully formatted the phone)
8. On rebooting, the phone is just stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Logo (powered by Android) - this means you have successfully formatted the phone
9. Remove your external SD, connect it to your PC and copy your firmware into it, then re-insert it into your phone
10. Reboot to recovery using Step 3 above
10. Reinstall your firmware, allow your phone to boot up completely. This will take a while as it is a fresh install
11. Reboot into recovery and restore your data.
Hope this helps. It worked for me.

Not yet sure!
Hi All,
thanks to all for this question and the answer...
Please clarify me to get sure:
I've S8 with Oero (Stuck ROM) --> rooted (TWRP + Magisk)
Is it possible to set on the encryption?
If not, is there any other way/ROM/TWRPs to makes it possible?
Cheers,

Hi,
yes it is possible, i did it long times ago so i don't remember exactly (stock + encryption + twrp + root with magisk) but what you need to do is to set the encryption first and then root or you'll be stuck on encryption if you'r root first

What now?

Hey capsycum,
Thanks for the answer.
Well I did have the enc on before root, but as I knew some issues with OnePlus Phone I deactivated the enc before rooting.
Now the Phone is rooted - without having the enc on before.
So the question is if there is any way to activate the encryption - posthumously?
Cheers,

?
...anyone an idea?

?
Hey Guys,
I'd very appreciate, if anyone could clear the situation - or better - suggest a solution?!
Thanks

It is not true... I've tried any possibility...
Even the way to:
1. set on Enc.
2. Install TWRP, then directly to Recovery, install no-verity and then install Magisk
3. back to Download-Mode and install the self extracted stock recovery (from org. stock image)...
Did not help... (After first pass-phrase request of booting, it gives back the integrity error and never asks for pass again)
So... Any help is welcome!

Hardbricked my OnePlus 6t

After installing Magisk I removed a bunch of Google apps, re-installed Magisk within Magisk manager, and after pressing reboot it is now completely dead. No recovery, no Fastboot, no signs of life at all.
Am I completely boned? Or is there a method I'm missing to fix it?

I guess nobody gonna help,you out like my question...nobody answer...so here is the best i can try to help you...try download stock fastboot rom on guide/new/discussion section...and then try hold volume up and volume down same time then power button to get in fastboot mode after that plug in your computer and peform fastboot stock rom

I completed bootloader unlock and then root, booted the phone and took the OTA. After the OTA I went into Magisk and installed to partition B and rebooted. My phone was dead also, I tried all 3 buttons holding them. I just saw your message and made sure I held volume up then down and then held the power button. Got into fastboot, thanks for the help. I had already submitted for a replacement since I only had the phone 2 days but you just saved me some hassle.

soooo try vol down and power for 30 sec connect to power with just vol down pressed

Same thing actually just happened to me after installing AdAway from the F-Droid store. I applied the hosts file blocking and tapped "Reboot", then the phone wouldn't turn on. I popped it on the charger for about 10 minutes, then held the power button and it turned back on just fine. The battery was at 40%, so it didn't need to be charged, but that seemed to work.
