[Q] Bricked? Black Screen after Splash

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..

@jordan8201

Go to it and download the gb27( if you're on sprint)...gb28(if you're on virgin)....if you're on boost you can download the boost one-click or use the sprint one..

I actually already have those files. I think that was the last thing I tried flashing to fix things, but I was unsuccessful. I actually download two different files, so I have the following two:

If you followed the protocol for flashing with heimdall correctly and still have issues... we might need to use Odin...
As you have flashed the wrong firmware.. I believe you will need to repartition when you flash..

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:
1) How to repartition (assuming I need to), and
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..

[Q] SGH-I317 - Cannot Get To Recovery Mode

I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.

You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?

If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work

Fix for dm-verity verification failed update from adb is disabled?

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.

Flashing a zip?
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?

The model of my phone is SM-N910V
android version 6.0.1
So I been reading a lot of the thread on the forum and saw that there were many ways to root the 5.1.1 version. Unfortunately I updated my phone to MM 6.0.1.
What is the process to root my phone?
Can I somehow load the 5.1.1 version? then unlock the bootlocker and root my phone?
any advise will be appreciated, thanks

Sigh.
Downgrade to 5.1.1 BPA using the full firmware using ODIN, then unlock your bootloader using any one of about six threads on this page.
There's only one way to unlock the bootloader and root. It's just been explained in a gadzillion different ways.

Galaxy Note 4 Recovery Mode
Power Down Your Galaxy Note 4.
Press and Hold the Power Button, Home Button and Volume Up Button at the Same Time.
Continue Holding These Buttons Until You See Some Blue Text at the Top.
When You See the “Recovery Booting….” ...
Wait Until it Boots into the Recovery Mode.
Use volume to scroll power to select. I clear cache first probably redundant, then restore

Yup got it to factory reset and works fine now. Thank you. In the process of unlocking the bootlock

Hardest part is keeping temp root long enough to type/paste the ADB commands needed to change CID and then to unlock Bootloader.
Be prepared for a frustrating night with kingoroot, PC version works best.

Can you get into download mode (volume down, power, home key three finger salute)? Flash this firmware (thanks @hsbadr!) using ODIN, make sure that auto reboot is unchecked, and when it's done three finger salute into recovery and do a factory reset before you boot.
Then start the process from scratch.

So..I have TWRP 3.0.2.2 flashed via ADB yesterday.And it works perfectly fine,but it gives me the same error as in 2.8.7.0 and is very hard for me to live without ROOT.I've thinking to root it via ADB...again as I did with stock ROM. Now of u can give me instructions about flashing zips via ADB it would be PERFECT!

OK , let's start again.
Flash the twrp in lineagesOS OP

Download this
https://redirect.viglink.com/?forma...eageOS 14.1 Weekly… | Asus ZenFone 2&txt=TWRP
Then flash it as an image using your existing TWRP.
It will confirm on which partition youll flash it, select 'recovery'
Once done, reboot.
Proceed to recovery and then flash the SU package provided in LOS thread.
You might want to consider downloading the SU zip add on just to ensure that your file is not corrupted.

Try reading and asking in lineageOS thread if you are struggling with flashing latest TWRP.
You need to flash latest TWRP to flash latest lineageOS . The TWRP required is in the Original Post of lineageOS ...
you have 3 0 2 2
You need 3 0 3 M4. From the Original Post of lineageOS.
