Hey everyone. I tried rooting using Heimdall on my Mac, but apparently did something very wrong. I can still boot into download mode, but when I turn my phone on I get the initial logo, then a black screen. Any help to get my phone back up would be greatly appreciated!

If you can still get into download mode.. you're not bricked..
Give me a little more info on what you tried to flash.... as well as what Android version you were on... and if you had or were trying to get cwm recovery on the device via heimdall..
No worries... we'll get ya back up and running... just don't get flash happy and try something until myself or another member can confirm it's right..
I'm going to assume you were following a guide for rooting with heimdall... link that guide so I can look at it..

Ok, no more flashing until I hear back from you. Thanks for the reply! I'm actually not sure which version I was on. I know, big mistake.
I initially used this guide goo dot gl/LZt2l3 but I couldn't get the terminal version, so I flashed the kernel via the frontend. It appeared to work, and rebooted, but I was getting a "samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100" boot screen and then black. So I tried flashing back to a stock kernel I found. Now it shows the right model number, but still goes black.
Thanks again for the reply. Looking forward to getting this mess I made fixed.
Will I be able to fix this with my Mac, or do I need to try to find a Windows machine to use?

Ok... no worries... as I said.. if you have download mode we can fix this...
You flashed the wrong model and bootloader I believe... so it messed up you're partitions...
What you want to do is Odin a one-click from rwilco's repo...
Give me a few minutes and I'll hunt up the links for you... I'll also link you to a good heimdall guide..

Thanks, you're awesome. Of those two files, should I use the stock or the rooted version?
A couple of things I didn't see in the tutorial:

2) Which files to flash. I have a lot more files than listed in the tutorial, so should I try to flash them all?

That is up to you... the rooted version just has the binaries for root and a super user app.. I would try the rooted version... so after you can use mobile Odin to flash, instead of heimdall..

The Heimdall one click method does not seem to support the file type that I downloaded for some reason. I can use the regular Heimdall frontend app though. Then, should I just flash all the extracted files? There are 10 or so of them.

I think you can flash all of them or just a select few... but if you can get a custom recovery on at the least... we can boot to it...push a couple zip's over and flash a rom from a safe recovery.... I'll explain more for that if we have to go that route..

Okay, I think I have good news to report. I'm booting now...basically. It's staying on the 4G screen for a long time, but eventually boots. Well, at least the first time it did. I just tried again and it stuck on the 4G screen.
I can still get into recovery though. Should I try flashing a custom recovery using Heimdall? If so, where can I get a compatible recovery?
Progress is good! Thanks!

Did you use the rooted rom... if so.. I would try to go into recovery and wipe cache and reboot to see if it boots up... also.. is it stock recovery, I can't remember what that one click comes with...
If it's stock and we can't get it to boot... then we will have to heimdall a kernel/recovery..remember our recoveries and kernel's are tied together on this device...
If this is the case.. I think we can find you a custom recovery/kernel and heimdall it and then flash a rom from it... after you push the zip's to you're internal storage..

I did use the rooted files. I'm not sure if it's stock recovery, but it looks like it. Definitely not CWM.
I tried wiping cache and rebooting, but it's still looping.

Ok... I would go to rwilco's repo and get a gb27 kernel that has a custom recovery and flash it with heimdall..
Even if it doesn't boot.. we can atleast push a rom zip and gapps to you're phone and the el26 kernel(safe kernel for flashing) and then flash the rom/gapps from it..
I can look and point you to the right kernel if you're not comfortable looking yourself..

I flashed the MK3 modem, then MOAR v9.0.1 and lost my 3G data.
There are other threads here discussing similar problems.
Some said that the person lost their APN and suggested typing *#06#. I did that and got my MEID (it was not all zeroes).
Every time I type ##72786# now, i get the "SCRTN" screen and it reboots all by itself.
It rebooted, and when it came up again, it started going through the activation process. During Hands-free activation, I get the "4G" icon. Ditto for when it updates the PRL, but the icon disappears when it says it needs to reboot (and it never comes back...)
When I type ##786#, I can view RTN information.
When it comes back up, still no data. What am I missing?
I called Sprint to have them do a "data refresh" or "re-provision". Still no data. I'm stuck. Please help.
Have you tried flashing the mk5 modem? Or updating the prl?

Updating the PRL fails.
The only thread I see with an MK5 modem is for Virgin Mobile/Boost here. I can't use that if I'm on Sprint, right?
Isn't there something about zeroing out your MSL/MEID and rebooting?

Ok. I missed that in the thread. I have to wait until I get home to try it. Thanks.
Ok, when I restored my Nandroid backup, it apparently killed my TWRP. If i installed that *after* my last backup, that would explain it?
I need to start from scratch. Do I need to be at my home computer to do that?

Just to be safe I would Odin back to stock, choose which recovery you want, I personally prefer philz latest because it let's you root your phone via the recovery. Then reflash the ROM of choice.

Flashing any recovery or kernel trips the warranty bit. No way around that and no way to reset it I'm sorry to say. Since you've flashed recovery its likely tripped already so flashing kernels and roms won't make any difference anymore. The binary counter doesn't matter as its easily reset. But if you have a custom kernel or recovery it'll retrip to 1 every time you boot.

I dont care for warranty or counter trip than. So i guess my final question is can i flash any roms including 4.2 and kitkat and above without bricking my phone?
You can flash Any of these roms via Custom Recovery TWRP and you will do fine.
Do note, some people have mentioned that with a 4.2.x or 4.1.x Roms, sometimes their IMEI goes missing. So take a Nandroid and EFS Backup before hand.

Perseus mentioned the nv (efs) backup before. Easiest way to protect yourself is open a terminal emulator and enter this.
su
reboot nvbackup

If you mean you made a nandroid backup, that is completely different and does not include any of the NV data. The backup I mentioned is intended to protect you from ever losing your imei in the first place.

I used this method.
Ok , first, never use anything you find in the international models forum for any US model. They are very, very different devices. If you made an image from mmcblk0p3 as stated in that thread, you actually made a copy of sbl2 I'm pretty sure.
Also, the imei, (the important thing here) is not actually stored on the efs partition as it is in some other devices.
Run the command I posted before for the best solution. If NV corruption is ever detected, it should auto restore from this backup during boot up.
And again, stay away from the international forums. Most of the info there will not apply to our devices here and many, many people have bricked due to that mistake.
And delete the backup you made. If you were to try and restore it to your device after updating it at some point, it would most likely cause a brick.
OK thanks I'll get on that . I flashed a remix ROM and everything seems good right now. I'll try to back it up today.

Read up on Kit Kat, you might not want to upgrade. You will lose write access to the SDCard. There are ways to then fix it, but you could lose function in some of your apps. Samsung finally adopted the Android specs for write access.
Hello everyone,
I have spent the last 7 hours trying to unroot my LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition, but nothing I have tried works. The method I tried was to flash toe stock boot, recovery, and system via the Windows command line. Now, my tablet gets stuck at the "Google" logo when I try to boot it, and I get the red exclamation error when I try to boot into recovery. Does anyone have any first had experience unrooting the GPE G Pad, and can my tablet be salvaged or do I need to buy a new one?

Yes, you can at least salvage your tablet. Download latest twrp recovery, and install it in download mode. Then download the 510 ROM from the developer section onto an sdcard, insert sdcard into tablet, mount in recovery, install the ROM. You can then try again if you wish. Make changes one at a time, slowly!
There may be a different way, but this seems the easiest to me.
Why did you want to unroot?

You can't install cyanogen mod on the gpe. There are no custom Roms other than the modified stock ROM for the 510.
Let's start from the beginning... Did you install twrp 2.7.0.1? And can you boot into recovery?
Then, did you take out your sdcard and install the modified 510 ROM onto the sdcard from your computer?
Then reinstalled your sdcard to your tablet, rebooted to recovery again, mounted your sdcard, and then flashed the modified 510 ROM?

I don't know if you realize this, but the sideload update is 100% stock. Exactly the same thing you'll get with the OTA. Just a different delivery method.

Here's how I rooted mine with no issues so far.
MAKE SURE THAT IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS YOU HAVE OEM UNLOCK USB DEBUGGING ON BEFORE FLASHING TWRP.
Flashed
a - TWRP 3.0.0.1-M
b - boot back into recovery (TWRP) and flash BETA SuperSU v2.68
after you do this reboot your phone to make sure things are good.
I then went back to recovery and flashed the Xposed zip and boot back into phone and install Xposed APK.
if you have the time flash the no wipe tar and try my method, check your PM shortly going to send you a link to my drop box where i have all the files needed in one place.

I was trying to adb sideload marshmallow onto my at&t Note 5. I may have forgotten to run the adb in admin mode, so the device reset to Lollipop. When I tried to run again the phone gives an error when trying to put into adb sideload mode " m-verity verification failed update from adb is disabled". I tried re-flashing back to 5.1.1 via odin but with no luck. Anyone have a suggestion or a fix for this?
The phone powers on with no issues, but I'd like to put Marshmallow on the device and not wait another lifetime for at&t to send out the OTA.
Same problem but I had run as administrator enabled I got to about 15% done then I think I got a status 7 error or something like that and now I have the dm verification error

Yes. Are you putting each file in the correct place in Odin? The files all begin with the box they belong in (AP, BL, CP, CSC)
Only flash AP don't flash anything else. Let boot then reboot to recovery. Dm-verity should be back to normal. My resets all the time after I use this method.

So, forgive me if I am *way* off. Perhaps the answer is too obvious for me to notice. But Odin doesn't permit flashing of zips. I extracted everything and put it in a tar using WinAce. Was that the right procedure?
