[Q] Boot loop after installing busy-boxon HTC One - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I installed busy-box to my HTC with stock ROM and kernel, and now Im having problems keeping my phone from not rebooting. My phone reboots like normal and I can use it normally for about a minute until it reboots. Prior to this it was working fine.I now know there are problems installing busy box to stock ROMs.. At this point I'm willing to do just about anything to get my phone back to its previous state. Preferably still rooted and with my data still intact.
When I installed busy-box I installed to the /system/xbin directory. A install notifier came up saying that busy box was already installed and doing this may not be required then it rebooted. Im not sure if Ialso did the smart install because it did not say smart install was finished or was ready to be finished. I can still access the TWRP recovery screen.
I would like to inform I am a cheeky scrub when it comes to dealing with situations like this so preferable please insruct me with simple and easy instructions.
Thank you so much in advance!

tried doing wipe cache/ wipe davilk?

[Q] Really need your expert help guys! SM-T800

Alright, I'll lay out what happened. My end goal is to just have a rooted tab, but at this point, I'd be willing to just have it back to how it was. Preferably without losing everything on it.
-Looked around on how to root it, and found the following, and use the files it suggested.
- Seemed easy enough, and I had rooted/installed android on my old HP Touchpad, so I dl'd the files, and gave it a shot.
- Couldn't get CWM recovery on it, so I ran verify root and it said it wasn't rooted, even though I has SuperSU. It would even ask to grant apps permission, and I'd grant it.
- I opened SuperSU, and it'd say it needed to update the binaries, but would fail on normal, so I dl'd the newest zip, booted into recovery, and tried to load it like that, but 2 lines would come up red. I think they were just verifying signatures, so I ignored it and let it reboot.
- I opened SuperSU again, and it still said it needed the binaries updated, failed on normal attempt. I decided to try again from scratch, unrooting it and all. So, I went into the SuperSU settings and did it's thing, but it still had the version of SuperSU that initially was on it (it wouldn't let me past the "update binaries" prompt).
- I found that I needed to use Odin to flash a stock firmware back on it, and dl'd both version here.
- I tried the first one, and then it wouldn't get past the "Samsung" screen (the 2nd one with just the word Samsung, if it matters).
- I can still boot into Odin and Recovery, thankfully, so I tried the 2nd stock firmware. Same issue.
- Finally, I tried the rooting process again, hoping to get it to boot, same thing. So, I tried the 2nd stock firmware again, praying something good would happen, and still stuck on the Samsung screen.
I can still boot into Odin and recovery, but I have no idea where to go from here. I still want it rooted if possible, and I'd prefer not to lose all my games and such. I just found "[ROOT][RECOVERY] [ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T800-T805-T-700-T705" thread here, but I didn't want to try it just yet.
It's a SM-T800. I had Lollipop on it. Don't know much else to add, but please help!
Thanks all.

Well... you said you just updated to lollipop, but in order to not stay stuck at splash screen, you have to factory reset. I saw that you don't want to lose your games and such so you probably only have one option. That option is to flash twrp and make a nandroid of your data. Simply boot into download mode, download the twrp .tar http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabs105.html
And now go into Odin, untick autoreboot, now hit the pda/AP button and pick the twrp tar. Hit start and let it do its thing. Now after its done flashing, your gonna have to force reboot. Simply hold power+volume up and down+home button all at the same time. Wait a bit and when the screen turns black, quickly press power+volume up+ home buttons all at the same time and it should boot into twrp.
Now in twrp, hit backup and hit backup data. Hopefully that should save your apps installed. Now after its done, go into wipe and silde factory reset. It should remove installed apps from Google play store and it won't remove pictures and such. It just removes the apps you installed. Then now reboot and wait....
Hopefully this helped

As said you will have to factory reset, this will wipe data and cache.
You can use the link you posted above to install TWRP and root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488
Lollipop changes the data partition so even if you back it up and then restore it with twrp In kitkat it likely won't boot afterwards.
All you can do is wipe it and take the hit.
Alright, I have TWRP running. The size of my "data" is just over 16 gig, and my space on the sdcard is 14.9 gig, so I've been trying to delete data to knock it down. I still have 1.3 gig to go. Everything I'm deleting, in the data folder, is barely making an impact.
I see what you're saying that I probably won't be able to restore it and have it work, but I still will try. I can always factory reset it again later. Once I wipe it, though, and update back to lollipop, couldn't I restore that data backup?
I gotta take a break and knock out some real work, lol, then I'll continue, and update here. If nothing else, maybe it'll help some other poor soul like me in the future!
Once I have it booting all the way again, do I just use TWRP to install SuperSU and it's rooted? Thanks again. I appreciate it!
Not sure what youre trying to do here. Just wipe the data partition with twrp,
Sent from my SM-T805 using XDA Free mobile app
Ashyx, I was just trying to save my game data, while ending up with a rooted tab. And you were right, of course! I tried to restore the back up to no avail, haha....well, I wiped it again, and it booted up just fine, and it is rooted to boot. I can't believe it was that easy with TWRP to root it.
I'm betting this isn't going to work out, but is there anyway to extract my game data from that backup I made, and transfer just that back to my tablet? If it is possible, it'll probably be beyond my ability, I bet, but I'm just curious.
One other question. With TWRP, can I get Lollipop back on it? Or do I need something else on it first?
Now, it's off to figure out how to get my Impulse Controller to work with it so I can play my games with it!
Thanks for helping me out, regardless. I truly thought I had bricked my $600 tablet. My wife would've killed me for wasting that much money, lol!
There is an app called nandroid manager that will allow you to extract data from nandroids, you could extract your game data with that.
The better way would be to make a system and data backup of your current system, reflash lollipop then restore your lollipop data backup. Then back up your game data with titanium backup.
Restore your kitkat backup then restore your game data with tb.

[Solved] Issues activating SGS3 SPH-L710 on Sprint with Custom ROM + lots of problems

Hello all!
This is my first foray into the world of custom Android systems, and I'm having a hell of a time with it... if somebody would be able to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
First off, the situation:
I am on Sprint, and I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) from Sprint to use as a backup phone, I used it for a while on Stock, then deactivated it so I could give it to my wife. First though, I wanted to put a custom ROM on it, and experiment/play around a bit and see what this world of options could do for me. Long story short, I ended up flashing an AICP ROM, and everything seemed to go smoothly, but when I went to activate the phone on my account again and it would not work no matter what I tried (details below). I figured maybe I could activate on the stock setup then just restore my custom setup, so I tried to revert to my stock ROM backup and I couldn't do anything because I was constantly getting messages that various programs had closed... Then I tried to wipe and restore my custom ROM backup and I get stuck in a boot loop... so I tried to flash a stock recovery and I get stuck in a boot loop... I'm out of ideas here, and now I'm stuck with a phone I can't use or do anything with, and I can't activate.
Details:
The initial rooting/install process seemed to work ok, and was fairly straightforward. I followed various guides on http://galaxys3root.com/ to get my phone rooted and backed up (Don't recall which ones now, but I've read through so much by now I don't know if it matters...).
My phone:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) SPH-L710
Modem: L710SPRDNJ2
My Desktop:
Debian Linux
Here's the steps I performed:
Rebooted phone in Odin mode
Downloaded CWM S3 Sprint Recovery from the http://galaxys3root.com/ website (can't find the link any more)
Flashed the CWM recovery using Heimdall then rebooted phone into CWM
Installed SuperSU through CWM, then rebooted
Checked that the phone was rooted successfully (it was), then ran Titanium Backup on the whole device to my SD card, then copied the backup files to my desktop computer
Rebooted into CWM, and performed a backup through CWM, then rebooted and copied the CWM backup to my desktop.
Downloaded AICP Rom for my phone from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3Sprint/roms/AICP/aicp_d2spr_lp-10.0-RELEASE-20150707.zip, put it on my SD card, then installed it through CWM and rebooted
At this point, I was happy with how everything was working, so I did some minor theme customizations then made another backup through CWM, and copied it to my computer, but I did NOT run Titanium this time...
After all of this, I tried to go ahead and activate it through the Sprint web service. This process failed continuously with an unhelpful error message of "Sorry, this device can't be activated right now". I then got on Chat to see if they could activate it manually, and then the problems began. They did their thing activating the phone, but when I booted up I got no data connectivity, and couldn't make calls, and the SIM was not changing over to the new number. I was on the chat with them for over an hour trying to get the situation resolved, but that finally ended when they started asking me to punch in ## codes, because I discovered that none of them worked on my custom ROM. Some quick research told me that this was non-trivial to get around so I had them switch everything back and I started researching the issue.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626638&highlight=sph-l710 that looked like it would let me do what I needed from the custom ROM, but I couldn't tell if it would fix my problem for sure, so I figured "I'll just restore my stock setup from that backup I took, activate it and update, then start over". This is when things got really frustrating...
First I rebooted into CWM, went to 'backup/restore', and restored my stock backup
Rebooted, and as soon as I got past the lock screen, I get inundated with messages of various apps being closed unexpectedly.
I researched a bit, discovered the issue may be caused by stale dalvik cache, so I rebooted into CWM, cleared the dalvik cache, formatted the /cache partition, then tried to restore the stock backup again, but this time I get stuck in a boot loop.
I then rebooted into CWM, tried to restore the backup of my AICP ROM, only to be stuck in a boot loop as well.
Trying to get into any usable system, I rebooted to CWM, cleared dalvik cache, then formatted /cache, /data, and /system just to be sure, and re-flashed the base AICP ROM I started with. This worked fine, and before long I had stock AICP back
Since I still couldn't get the phone to activate in the custom ROM, and my backups are apparently completely useless, I rebooted into CWM, wiped dalvik, /cache, /data, and /system again and tried to install a different stock ROM I found in the XDA forums (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/stock-rom-4-4-2-t3010642) only to be greeted by another bootloop
At this point I've spent well over 24 man-hours trying to get this to work, reading, researching, flashing, etc all to no avail. Nothing I do seems to work, and it seems like every article, tutorial, or forum thread I read either has nothing to do with my device, is too old, or doesn't describe my problem.
I'm at wits end, and am so frustrated I'm ready to just give up and smash this device and buy a new one... My questions to the community are as follows:
I know I screwed up on a couple of things, but in my initial research of doing this there was no indication that these were even things I needed to watch out for... Is there any more organized sources of information for doing this sort of thing?
Does anybody else out there use Sprint on a custom ROM, and if so how you you pull this off
Where else have I screwed up, and how can I fix this situation? (My end goal is still to get the S3 onto Sprint with a custom ROM)
What can I do differently next time? I would like to figure this out and do it to other phones and devices I have, but if it's this much trouble every time, I just don't have the time to mess with it.
Thank you in advance, and I appreciate any information that the community can provide.
This sounds like a CWM problem to me. If I were you, I'd boot the phone into Odin Mode and flash TWRP ( www.twrp.me ) then try flashing the latest aicp nightly downloaded from the official site ( www.aicp-rom.com ). Check the md5sums on everything! Then maybe try flashing a touchwiz ROM and activating your phone. Remember that you need to wipe the internal storage when you go between KitKat and lollipop.
I'm fairly certain you have to do activation with the stock Touchwiz roms -- once the phone is activated you can flash a custom.
You should go into recovery and wipe everything (System/data/etc) EXCEPT for the External SD Card
Power off - pull the battery for a few - power on directly into download mode
Odin NJ2 back onto the phone and reboot and activate it (skip through most of the setup since you'll flash a custom after)
Once you know it's activated and working under the stock Touchwiz, then again power off and Odin TWRP recovery
Then you can go back into recovery, wipe everything except External SD, and flash the custom rom back on.
Looks like swapping CWM for TWRP did the trick.
Flashed TWRP no problems, and put CleanBean on there to get the phone activated. Still wouldn't work automatically over the Sprint website, but I got on chat with them and they fixed me right up. Downloading a fresh copy of AICP now...
Is it worth it to keep the CWM backups I made earlier, or should I just go ahead and flush them? I figured just get rid of them since restoring them wasn't working anyway, but I figured I would ask.
Now to move all the data over to the new phone. Thanks so much for your help guys!

Get rid of them. TWRP can't restore CWM even if the backup is good

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (LTE) not working after failed backup

First of all, hi @ all
Today I rooted my Tablet sucesfully using Odin3 with CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.tar.md5
After this I tryed to backup all important stuff using TWRP so in case that flashing CM fails I could return to android without problems.
Becourse of a problem with the newest twrp message I got an information that the backup is going to be safed on the intern memmory (so I later would have to move it manually to the externSD card). Well that did not sound like a problem so I started the backup function, it bootet in the recovery mode.
Well I expected it to run automaticly after choosing wich partitions it should backup so I did not knew what to choose in the menu and decided to reboot wondering if I missed some explenation.
It looks like that was a bad idea, after the Samsung logo I just get a blackscreen and dozens of messages that xzy was terminated. Rebooting doesnt help.
So ironicly I crashed my device while trying to backup
At least I have absolut 0 personal data on it so I lost at least nothing.
Now my Questions:
A)To return to use my device again with android I can still use this? sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40784/P605XXUCNL1_P605BTUCNL2_BTU.zip
And is there somewhere a faster download?
Or is there a chance that after wipe data/factory reset I can use it again?
B) If I get techsoncall.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/installing-cyanogenmod-on-galaxy-note-10-1-2014 this right I actualy could just clear now the entire intern memory of my tablet, cpy the Cyanogenmod (and may gaps) on the sdcard and flash then install it to get my tablet running CM?
I would admire every comment, Im going to fly in few days so I'm actually a little bit stressed course of this fail
Well a hardreset helped but the problem was that I just installed the TWRP app and did not install the recovery mod with this app.
After doing that everything runs fine.

Xposed Framework Is Not Installed - Installation Help

Hey guys,
I have a HTC M9
I am trying to install the Xposed Framework on my Rooted M9 with stock ROM but inside the Xposed app it tells me that it's not installed.
I have TWRP installed.
I rooted my phone with SuperSU v2.65 (After trying a couple of versions that would result in boot loop)
I checked my phones CPU (ARM64) and downloaded "xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64" as well as "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk".
I booted into TWRP and Installed the xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64 Framework, it gets to Placing Files and then my phone reboots (I don't know if this is normal or not).
My phone reboots and I open XposedInstaller, under Framework it says "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active, Did you install the Framework and reboot?"
Inside the Framework menu it says "The Xposed Framework is not installed. Please download the latest ZIP file from XDA and flash it manually via reocvery."
The options Install/Update, Uninstall, Recovery (Flash zip automatically) are grayed out.
When I press the Soft Reboot button the phone does restart but no change.
When I try to press the Reboot option I get this error:
Code:
sush: <stdin>[8]: /data/user/0/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/busybox-xposed: not found
Reboot failed please use the device's normal reboot function.
I have restarted the phone normally a couple of times with no change.
I'm new to rooting but I don't find this stuff too difficult to understand, I had a lot of problems trying to get my phone to root in the beginning, I had to try a few SuperSU versions before I could get my phone past boot looping. When I run Root Check it tells me that my phone is Rooted.
I'm not sure what other information I can post to help yous help me but if there's anything you need to know just ask and I'll reply asap.
Cheers guys
I basically want access to Xposed so I can use the FakeGPS and the Hide Mock Location modules.
EDIT (29/07 2:00PM)
I re-downloaded xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64 and tried flashing it again, I read somewhere someone mentioning to clear the caches after the install has finished but when I start the install and it reaches "Placing Files" the phone automatically reboots itself, so I held Volume down and Power to go straight back into Download Mode > Boot Mode > Recovery Mode and cleared the caches, let the phone boot up and still have the exact same problem as the above post.
Seeing as though I haven't gotten any advice yet I am going to try an older version of the Installer app, I have 2 seperate backups of my device so if anything goes wrong I can restore, wish me luck!
I have almost the same problem, with the exception that I don't get to see errors.
I have it rooted with superSU 2.64 (beta) and with TWRP 3.0.2.
Start the flash process using TWRP and after a couple of seconds it just black screens and reboots. Some times it survives and boots, sometimes it doesn't boot.
Since I have backed up my whole system before rooting, I can return back to normal.
The funny thing is, I have managed to install Xposed on the first run, but after restoring a back up, it refuses.
No idea what to do

You have described my situation perfectly.
I have a back up I can restore through TWRP if I soft brick it, which at this moment I just did.
I tried flashing the same superSU version again seeing as though it was the only one I could get to work (didn't try your version though) and then installed the latest Framework version right after without rebooting, cleared the two caches and rebooted, I get past the first boot screen, I see my mobile providers boot screen, I then get to the screen with One in big letters and it stops there, I'll try a few more reboots before I restore.
Xposed isn't stable on the m9 and is why I have avoided installing it. Some people get it running first time, no issues. Some people brick their phones. It really is a roll of the dice.
I'd stay away from it if i were you. Htc's can't be easily recovered.
Beamed in by telepathy.
it doesn't brick the phone, but there are a few tutorials with other methods of flashing xposed, should be inside software development of android forum. please try those solutions and please stop creating two threads, with nearly same problem. both things can be asked in one thread, thanks
stock rom has often problems. you need to install busybox to have it working properly

G3 won't boot @all anymore [Resolved]

So I've bricked my phone. And I can't make it work. Yesterday I finally had some time to thinker with the phone and decided to install Fulmics Rom 6.0. I had already downloaded it a while ago but first now had the time to install it. I made a post in the Fulmic's thread but with their new 6.5 fulmics just out, so my post got berried so quickly so I got no replies.
I started in TWRP with doing a backup, then a wipe and then started the install.
It seemed install was going fine, I even got the Fulmic's GUI midways and selected appropriate model, D855. I tried to keep things as vanilla as possible and chose to not uninstall anything and keep stock temperature throttle back.
But when the install completed I got one error: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Phone wouldn't boot. I had however made a backup before I started and I was able to restore from backup from within TWRP.
Then phone booted and it seemed all was fine. But as I had my mind set on the Fulmics ROM I had one more go, just ti be sure I didn't mess up and chose something bad in the Fulmic install GUI. Also I did a wipe first, then I wiped the cache/dalvik as I once read that could make install easier. And result same as before. set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed.
Tried to reboot but I get flash screen with LG loge and powered by android on the bottom, and then when screen changes to only LG logo it gets stuck'd. No matter how long I wait, and I tried to wait for hours remembering wiping dalvik/cache makes boot take longer time. Stucked on the boot load. Notification light changes from green to blue. And the Lg logo is there.
Worst part is that now I can't even restore it to my backup from yesterday.
Here is my phone:
Lg G3 D855 16 GB 2 GB RAM
Android 6.0 stock LG update.
TWRP 3
Rooted
For now I would settle for a working phone. That is my main priority. Truth be told I got scared now and I don't know if I will take my chances putting a custom ROM onto the phone. After all my android 6 was working nicely, phone was rooted and adaway was working nicely. I guess I got greedy and wanted more
It would be very nice if people could take things very basic, like if I am to do certain things in TWRP don't assume I will understand unless you go into details. Been struggling for hours upon hours now and my mind is mush and concentration was lost a few hours ago. Yet I need to keep at it as I can't be without a working phone tomorrow. For instance in the TWRP under tab advanced > sideload what can I try there to make phone boot?
If I have left out any important for you to help pls just ask and I will reply as fast as possible. Any and all tips and pointers will be much obliged.

Downgrade to twrp 2.8 and flash again hope you are good too to go....
For me , if i have problem.
Replace sdcard , format data on twrp and flash .kdz (not after 30x.0426.kdz) , usually LGup can made download mode it self.
If can booting , make temporary root and get twrp.
Ok I had TWRP v2.8.7.0 laying around. I've used it before with success, so I know it works with my Lg G3.
But still not possible to boot.
I will try to read up on the .kdz as I never even heard of that before. Maybe if I am lucky that will save the day.
Hehe what do you know. TWRP v2.8.7.0 worked!
I dismissed it too fast, turned out it didn't get stuck'd on boot, boot just took a while because I had wiped everything.
Now I can see android is upgrading apps, and also when I think back to the first reboot with twrp v2.8 it was fulmics logo on the bottom part of the screen not android I guess my mind did not pay any attention as I was truly expecting to be stuck in boot loop this time too
Fingers crossed it is working now, I guess I didn't pay much attention when I tested twrp v2.8 and pointed to the fulmics ROM 6.0 and it seems it will work whoha
Finally I've got a working phone, and I also got Fulmics 6.0 as I sat out to get.
Don't know what went wrong or what caused the boot loop, but twrp v2.8 seemed to be the working solution.
IT seems everything works except I lost root. Which is fine for now, I will root another day.
Now I just need to use the dang phone
Deleted for your own safety
Btw, as the phone must be rooted to install custom ROM's it does seems strange that phone after installing Fulmics 6.0 appears to NOT have root, according to RootChecker. Could it be that the custom ROM is confusing RootChecker or did root somehow get revoked?
Is there a manual way I can check to see if phone is rooted? Cos there is, terminal
I took the chance tp get the latest KingRoot v4.9.6 over my previous v4.5.6. And run the APK.
Seems there must have been some issues with SuperSU, I had v2.54 and BETA v2.65. None of them kept root after install.
Found the latest stable that was superSU v2.78 and that fixed my issues.
TWRP ver 3.x messed my phone up too. Thought I had a good EFS backup, but when I needed to restore it, it didn't work. I will not be using ver 3.x again for a long time. Ended up losing my IMEI because of it.
