tab 4 SM-T530nu

So I rooted my tablet and flashed it with twrp. But it was a long time ago that I did that. And rit running on Android 4.4.2. But to day I wanted to update it to android 5.0. It gave me an error and it said that I had to try downloading the update with keis and I did. Everything was going smoothly until it rebooted and now I'm stuck on bootloop with no backup. When I tried to boot into recovery I gave me the original samsung recovery can anyone help with this fix

Don't use Kies, it is literally awful. Use one of the SM-T530NU firmware files from this thread and flash it with Odin v3.10 (I would recommend factory resetting in stock recovery before you use Odin). Then you can root again using TWRP, just follow this method
Note: I have the exact same model as you and everything I just said worked fine for my tablet.

Thank you

Go to the development section and check out either BlissPop or Resurrection remix. Both are based off CM12.1. The versions made for the SM-T530 work on our SM-T530NU. I use BlissPop, it's great.
Update: Links, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix. Use TK Gapps (either nano or micro) or jajb's minimal gapps, and whichever you use you might want to check out the debloat script on the minimal gapps thread

Nexus 10 does not boot after Update

After attempt at installing software update to Nexus 10 tablet will not boot. Have wiped Cache and even then did a factory reset. Nothing. Google appears and then twirling colorful dots and nothing. For hours just twirling dots., Samsung and Google and Best Buy geeks says nothing they can do. No longer under warranty but very upset since tablet was working great until update. I am not very tech savvy but can anyone help or do I just have a new paperweight? Thanks for any advice.
I have not made any modifications to the tablet.

Just flash the newest factory image. Get it and the instructions to flash it from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

yes flash the newest image

After getting a notification of the latest update I went and rebooted for the update to install but it went to the twrp recovery and nothing happens, is there a way to install the update?

Hi Khaon, I have stock lollipop version 5.1.1 . (LMY47V) and latest twrp version. When upgrading it restarts and goes to recoverys main screen.

as a newbie .I'm not allowed to reference your link !!
I rooted my nexus 10 using xda instructions., installed CWM. All good. I tried backup and recovery and screwed something up in recovery. Got stuck in recovery mode reboot loop. Many gyrations, no fix, so I tried factory reset. Still no fix.
I decided to install a new version of the OS using the Mantaray tar you reference above. UBS connecting and fastboot. All messages look good. Now I have the problem reported in this thread. Stuck with flying balls and no boot. Very interested in any suggestions you may have.

So you keep just boot looping into twrp, right ?
Did you try installing a custom ROM through adb or just connecting your device?
If it keeps boot looping you gotta to wipe the full storage.

No, on a normal reboot or a shutdown/restart it's fine no problems there but when I try to install the update via system update it reboots into twrp. I attach a pic of my system.

Oh I see, well, you should just flash a custom ROM or if you want to stay with official factory images, you should just follow instruction there:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What you do need is just have fastboot executable once you are into the bootloader.
You can easily access the bootloader from twrp : shutdown > reboot into booatloader

Cool thx for your continued help :good:

The problem is due to your attempting an OTA update with a custom recovery (TWRP). You can only do OTA with stock recovery. Once you are in this situation, your easiest way out of it is to simply apply the latest factory image using "fastboot", but this will also wipe your user data so backup any photos, music, etc. before you start. You will also have to reload programs from Playstore once the new image is installed.

J500FN won't boot custom ROMs

I have OEM unlocked, TWRP flashed, and yeah.
Trying to flash Resurrection Remix and once it's done and I reboot, I get a yellow screen with a couple lines and it gets much worse.

That is the reason, you need to be on 5.1 Lollipop to flash that ROM

Sure thing fam, you can, download ODIN, and go to sammobile.com and choose 5.1 Lollipop for your country, and flash it. Root you phone after that and install twrp then flash the RR ROM, it will work, good luck
And next time, read the thread better before flashing ROM, next time it could be worst.

"Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped."
I can boot the phone, just can't do anything with it.

Can't use 5.1.1 on my J500FN at all, which is disappointing.
The ROM just hangs on the boot logo, even after I've cleaned system, cache, and data.

1) Go to recovery and wipe /system , /data , /cache and dalvik-cache
2) Power off the phone (from recovery).
3) Boot in Download mode and flash the Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware you want.
3) Wait until phone boots succesfully. Then you can flash TWRP for Lollipop 5.1.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468844 .
Always do the step 1) before upgrading / downgrading Android version, but also when reflashing stock rom with same Android version.

[HELP] Moto G PLus 4 booting only in recovery, not system

Hi,
I just unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G Plus 4 via adb, and after that I switched it on, it worked fine and I transferred SuperUser.zip into my phone's internal memory, and then tried to flash it through recovery, (following the sleps I read somewhere), since then my phone is not rebooting - it is rebooting into bootloader and I can enter recovery as well, but Im not able to reboot my phone. The device is being detected via adb when it is in recovery mode, but not in bootloader. Is this issue fixable? Please help me fix this.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm not getting the boot animation as well. I press the power key and nothing at all happens.

You got into bootloop, just download the stock ROM and then flash it again, follow any guide over XDA or see YouTube for more help. Flash ROM without locking bootloader will be good.

Yes that is what happen after unlocking Boot loader, just flash the stock ROM using any tutorial over XDA without locking the boot loader and then follow the proper instructions to root your mobile. Rooting is very easy on Android N. So I will say flash android N and then proceed.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

You can try one thing if you have twrp and your phone is booting into recovery then do this.
Download any custom rom based on Android N, don't go with RR for now as it is not for newbie cause new build has some issue while flashing.
Download the gapps recommend the opengapps Nano package from the opengapps.org.
Place both zip on your sd card and boot into recovery and then wipe everything like, system, dalvik cache, cache, system and then install the both zip, first rom and then install gapps. Then reboot. I hope it will fix the bootloop issue.

What did you mean by your device not being detected in bootloader mode. Did you install the right drivers. Did you install minimal adb and fastboot. Can you do the below steps and tell me the result.
1. Download the drivers from here.
For Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/5eEx...ager_2.5.4.exe
2. Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790
4. Restart the Moto G4 in fastboot mode. (Bootloader mode)
5. Connect the Phone to the computer.
6. In adb fastboot folder shift+right click and then in the pop up click "open command window here"
7. In the command line type: "fastboot devices"
Seeing your serial number means we know all is good and your phone is connected and you can go on flash the stock firmware. If the serial number is not showing, the drivers are not properly installed.

Try with wiping everything, wipe system and internal storage as well, I know your important data will be gone but it will be worth a try. If anything comes up let us know, also what have you tried so far tell us in details so we don't repeat it over and over, also in above post some links are provided try them.

Try with other pc or change the port for data cable. It seems your system partition got corrupted, also you can mount system partition under twrp and then try to format it.

When in TWRP, go to Mount and see if system is ticked or not. If not, mount the system and wipe it. Then flash the rom again. BTW which TWRP version are you using. From where you get it.

So that is the problem. You have to install TWRP latest version. Version 3.0.2 r4 or higher by shreps will work for you. You can find it here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337

As @nazim7 suggested you to flash the latest TWRP and then try to flash the rom again, also you can try to resize the partition and try to format it from twrp from the option in twrp. Just let us know what the result come back.

There's one more problem like I've mentioned previously. I have the latest drivers even then the device is not being detected via adb when in bootloader, but as soon as I boot into recovery, the device shows up on adb after command. How do I flash the recovery if the device doesn't show up in bootloader on adb?

Stuck in TWRP after pushed upgrade 28s

This morning I my phone pesented itself in TWRP.
Maybe this is because over the past days I repeatedly got notifications that a system upgrade wanted to install itself (I have a modified 26s X720 from Tora33).
I rejected those notifications.
Now I am stuck in TWRP and I cannot get around it. What I tried:
Reinstalling previous firmware (Tora33 26s) still on the phone
Restoring a TWRP backup from 6 months ago (TWRP didn't see it, maybe it's from a previous TWRP version, I now have v. 3.1)
Flash via fastbood factory image using Mauro's Tool All In One (error message "can't find file mke2fs.conf")
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system; then install Mauro_V2.2 cleansed 23s firmware which I transferred to the phone
Every time it boots up in TWRP.

Your bricked you never flash ota with twrp you should read before doing anything.
The only thing that can help is ofil.
I suggest you study well before trying it.

Oh boy. Thanks anyway. OTA flashed itself, couldn't stop it. Maybe I made it worse by trying to fix.
The bootloader is not locked according to the AIO tool. I can flash succesfully any firmware, only after flashing the phone will still boot in TWRP. It is strange it still boots in TWRP. Is there no simpler trick like flashing the standard recovery and then flashing OFW?
You mention Ofil; do you think the guide described here work?

Yes, that QFIL guide is for the x720.

In my opinion, the best way to return stock is to push update.zip into phones main folder, then install stock recovery, then in this one install update zip then check that OS is working. If it is, then go into twrp and wipe. Can't do it?

If he was just going back stock that would work he flash 28s ota with twrp so this will not work.

No brick after OFW push 28s
The pushed (unvoluntary) update didn't brick my phone after all. This may be important for those that have modified stock ROMs with TWRP.
Not being able to restore OFW was a bug in Mauro's All-in-One tool which he fixed last night. After I could easily flash 20S or 26S stock from his repository. I would also recommend this as safest/easiest procedure. Afterwards you can just flash TWRP from the same tool and move from there.
By the way, immediately after flashing 20s the FW notified it wanted to update itself, again!
