[q] help telus s4 stuck in bootloop

I am familiar with flashing custom roms, I used to own a Canadian Rogers Note 2 and flashed many different roms on the phone before. I recently signed up with Telus and upgraded to the S4. I installed TWRP and rooted the phone. Last night I made an EFS backup with TWRP and tried to flash this rom on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391142 . Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop it keeps showing the galaxy s4 screen trying to start up but it wont. I can still get into TWRP and I tried doing a restore but Im stuck in the bootloop and its doing the same thing. I just want to restore my phone back to stock or stock root, can someone help me out please?

Did you flash a kernel for your phone after flashing the rom? And when you say it's in a boot loop, how long did you give it? It can take a long time on the first boot.

I didnt flash any kernal just the rom, the phone tries to turn on by showing the samsung galaxy s4 screen then shuts down and tries to reboot, it continued to do this for 10 min and everytime I try to turn on the phone it does the same thing

You should move this to the Q & A section. Nobody is going to help you here because this section is reserved for actual development. Just trying to help keep you from getting flamed...

I had my phone stuck in TWRP twice last night from failed Rom flashing. This is my post in another thread on how I fixed it. Try this to see if it helps, I'm not responsible if you do any more damage

ADB Sideload. Respond if you need help with it. Macs are the easiest for ADB sideloading because they don't need drivers, I could help you with a PC too but it's more annoying.

The issue with Linux is there aren't any official Google ports for the files for ADB Sideloading. Do you have access to a PC or a Mac? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html these are the Android SDK files for Mac and Windows, I'm not quite sure if they have Linux support, but you could try. Also Wine, the program that allows you to run Windows apps on Linux or Mac will not work with this because of the way it works, so you need an actual Windows or Mac device. However, if it does support Linux I'm sure it wouldn't be any harder than it is on Windows or Mac. Also I tried using the LG Flash Tool method on various devices and it was more complicated and wouldn't work for me for whatever reason even after installing the drivers.

how would you sideload from a mac. mines stuck. in twrp i didnt even know the radio was updating. i guess my daughter pressed it. lol she was using quick memo to color. what files would i need? i tried to do all the other ways on my wifes windows pc but no go. the phone tries to update firmware when i plug it in and stays at 0.

I'll just say that the way I did it in my post worked for me twice while I was stuck in a TWRP boot loop from failed ROM flashing. Both times it worked with out a hitch to get my Sprint g2 running a tmobile rom back to stock Sprint.

A you running the newest TWRP? I know I wasn't and it continued to fail and stick me in the boot loop into TWRP. Once I updated, I was able to flash CM11 and it's working perfect.

ive got a macbook pro but the wife has windows so its win win for me. just downloading the ls980zv8 zip file. 2 hours remaining on it. if my internet doesnt go out

I made a mistake. Did it cost me my phone?

Hi all,
So i just got a new S5 in the mail today and right away i got set to rooting it. I downgraded to NCG build, installed busybox, superuser,and safestrap recovery, and began flashing a new rom in rom slot one, separate from the stock slot. My error came when i flashed a rom and kernel and firmware for a BOG5 build, and i didnt odin the tar file for BOG5, which puts me here, with a phone that powers on (what i mean is the screen turns on and can enter DL mode), is recognized in device manager as a samsung composite device, but is not read by ODIN (its like the com port isnt even there), and cannot boot into safe strap as it instantly gets hung up at "Samsung Galaxy S5, Powered by android".
Please, help me.

I have no idea how you can get into download mode and not have it work. If the download mode screen is there, it's working (?)

BTW, you can't use ROM slots with Lollipop.
---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------
My guess is that you do not have the required samsung USB drivers installed. You can't just install ODIN, you have to also install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555

The com port doesnt even show up on odin. I tried both 3.10 and 3.09. It sucks! And thats good to know, probably contributed to the reason it fails to boot. I definitely have the correct drivers because odin worked for me to downgrade to NCG.

try downloading flashfire and flashing it that way maybe?

I cant use flashfire because i cant boot my phone up to open the app

I cant use flashfire because i cant boot my phone to download/install let alone run the app.

hmmm did you try turning it off and on?

A bunch of times. The only way to do it is pulling the battery.

If it's booting to download mode, then it _is_ working. Are you sure you have odin set up properly?

Yeah, positive. It's worked for me right up until I misflashed this rom. Now it isn't even being detected by odin.

Are you opening Odin and then connecting the USB to the phone when it is in DL mode? Seen issues when having it all connected and then opening ODIN.. just a random idea..

shutdown by self

Please help, my redmi 2 prime (2014811), got random shutdown. Only can turn on again when i plug off and on battery..
I try flash any custom rom, flash via fastboot. Still got random shutdown.
Sorry for bad English..

Can you access fastboot mode? I'm asking coz I'm having still solving this problem with my uncle's redmi 2 which come in bootloop when not connected to charger. Tried flashing stock rom but still problem persist. I also noticed some screen flickering and no signal on sim card. Will update you as things go.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with S-Pen (SM-P585)

Hi All,
I'm basically starting this thread as i have not seen many users of this tablet and my main purposes are:
1) to look for users of the same tablet so we can pool our knowledge together as we go along this somewhat new and rare device
2) i would like to root the device and i haven't seen anyone post any guides yet for this device. FYI, i have already updated to Nougat 7.0 o the device. So far, all the guides i've seen are for Marshmallow.
i hope i can get some members to reply to my thread and, hopefully, have a running thread here in XDA... hoping that in the future we could get someone to develop a new ROM when Samsung decides to stop send OTA updates.

+1 here!
I've seen people already rooting it, but as I google for its root method, there are websites I just can't trust or see the positive results, or a few posts with "thanks, it worked".
If at least they could share to us where did they got the instructions for rooting...
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Hmmm xda have posted how to root it.
A few paragraphs further on the first post of this topic there's a procedure for rooting.

Blank screen in Recovery Mode while trying to root SM-P585Y
I'm a little disheartened to see so few subscribers to this thread but here goes:
I'm trying to root my SM-P585Y using Odin and flashing TWRP recovery. Everything's fine until the step where I have to boot from Download Mode into Recovery Mode. Instead of going into the normal recovery screen, my screen just goes blank occasionally displaying a few random lines or vibrating when I push random buttons trying to get some sort of response. I can get it back into Download Mode by pressing "Volume Down + Power + Home" but that's about it. I've essentially lost Recovery Mode, and a regular reboot from Download Mode by pressing Volume Down just takes me back to the blank screen with random lines.
Any ideas on what to do?

The TWRP device tree of P585Y is from MM. If your tablet is android 8.1, it'll cause error. Just flash stock rom or stock recovery to fix it. If you want to root, just use magisk.

Extract boot.img from stock rom file. Just use Magisk manager app to patch the boot.img. Then rename generated file to boot.img and compress it to tar file. Finally flash the file with odin in AP.

If you want twrp, downgrade to android 6.0

Hi everyone
If i rooted my device (P585), with this method that patch boot.img with magisk, i'll use adoptable storage or only in twrp mode?

Hi guys.
I'm trying to update the android from the P585.
I already tried to install the T585/T580 ROMs, but it doesn't work.
I think it's because of the model, because it has a slightly different name ( gtaxllte Vs gtanotexllte )
Information about P585.
Device Name: gtanotextllte
Device: Model SM-P585M
Device CPU: arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,armeabi
I looked a lot on the internet for a ROM for the P585, but I couldn't find it.
Does anyone here already found ROM for P585?

Hey guys, may i ask? Is there a custom rom for samsung [SM-P585Y]?

How do you shut down a P585 using the physical keys?
I searched the web and got results for using the soft button and bixby.
I want to shutdown using the keys because I can't access the soft button.
