Hey guys,
I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM [5.1.1] instead of [6.0.1] on my SM-G925T and now it got stuck on the logo screen with a red message on the top left corner saying Kernel is not SEandroid enforcing.
Any known remedies for fix this issue? My phone still communicates with ODIN and i can get it to download mode but not in recovery. (I had TWRP prior to this issue)
Thanks
Hold Volume Down + Power + Home, this will reboot you to download mode. Press volume down and right after that, hold volume up + power + home. This should bring you back into recovery which I am assuming is TWRP since you are installing a rom. From here you can use ADB to upload a correct custom rom to your device and install it.

Thanks for your reply. I was able to briefly get it to recovery mode earlier but the phone turned off and never came back since. I am trying to charge it just in case, but it is only showing an empty battery on the screen... How screwed am I?
Minor update, the phone does work and it goes into recovery. Can I install any rom through adb or does it have to be something specific. I wanted to try the one by Mortifix

Yeah it can be any rom. If you install an incorrect rom, your phone will simply not boot. Once you get into TWRP, just go to the Install option and select the zip file. If you are only able to get into recovery, you may be able to transfer the zip from your PC to your phone just by dragging and dropping. This never works for me so I always just use adb push -p "path to the zip on your pc" /sdcard
If you don't have adb setup yet, you can download it from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

I installed your ROM through ADB but now it got stuck in a loop through TWRP recovery trying to mount /data and then it restarts again. It looks like it goes directly to the ADB option in TWRP

Hmm, you may need to go to Wipe and do a factory reset. This will wipe cache, system, and data while leaving data/media (/sdcard) intact. After doing this, reboot back into recovery and try to install the rom again.

If you get stuck in a boot loop through TWRP and you can still use TWRP, go to "Advanced" then to "Terminal" and type "reboot"
Good luck!

You should still be able to access the HBOOT but holding down power button and volume down key, go into recovery then redo the installation of CM and see if that helps

Once you are in recovery select the option mount SD CARD and it should pop up on your computer to transfer files again and then copy over the CM and redo the installation
Please help! I am new to this and am worried I bricked my phone.
I successfully rooted my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus using a toolkit. It was then working fine with 4.2.2. I wanted to install Shiny Rom 4.4.2. I thought I successfully backed up apps and data using Titanium Backup.
I successfully moved the correct zip files to my phone, and realized I needed Clockworkmod recovery. I followed a procedure to get this on my phone by using my computer's command prompt. I successfully booted into Clockworkmod recovery and followed the process of wiping data/factory reset, successfully installed radio and bootloader recommended to install with ShinyROM but got stuck and could not install the ShinyROM itself. I think it is because it requires a later version of Clockworkmod. The one I downloaded using the procedure was 5.5.0.4, but I think I need a later version. I tried following the same procedure using my computer's command prompt and it got stuck at "waiting for device". I cannot get out of Clockworkmod recovery now (even battery pull, etc.). I then found some threads saying I need to restore my old ROM first. (I think) the only ROM on my phone is ShinyROM. I am stuck and stressed out because I do not know of a way of "pushing" the new version of Clockworkmod to my phone.
Can I fix this, or do I need to start shopping?

i think u already wiped data partition at first, that why your Rom installation aborted bcoz recovery cant mount any partition.
still got your old system partition here.
from recovery ~ try adb sideload your shinyRom. can your pc detected bootloader (fastboot)/recovery?

Regarding partition, I have an option to wipe cache partition. Should I do this?
Update
Well, I went ahead and tried this, and still could not install ShinyROM.
I tried to follow a procedure in the link to use ADB sideload.
I downloaded (full) SDK and updates and updated the drivers. When I get to the following steps from the procedure...
-Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
-Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
I only boot to CWM and there is no Android with Exclamation mark. Holding down power button only selects whichever option is highlighted within CWM.
Also, it seems within CWM, there is supposed to be an option to sideload a zip file. This option does not exist in my version of CWM.

Thanks. I found another thread that led me to the same conclusion, except I was able to do it with CWM and fastboot the latest version using ADB sideload. I still haven't posted enough to link, but here were the details from user camblue.
"
If you know how to use ADB you can always fastboot a recovery.img,,,,this thing is almost impossible to truly brick. IN order to get into fastboot just connect to your computer and run adb with these commands
adb reboot bootloader
once in fastboot mode write this
fastboot devices
that will tell you if your device is connected and reading in fastboot mode if it is you will see something like fastboot and some numbers next to it. If nothing you do not" have the fastboot drivers installed.
then to fastboot flash a recovery.img write this
fastboot flash recovery r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever recovery.img you are using or have in your tools folder of you SDK location).
and in order to get right into CWM if you cant boot write this
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img
hope that helps

because of sim slot 2 issue i want to give my phone under warranty
I want to Flash the original stock firmware of Zenfone 2
i have downloaded the stock Firmware file.
how should i flash it. should i flash it using Fastboot method or TWRP directly ?
current recovery : TWRP
If you have TWRP then you must have unlocked the bootloader, which means your warranty is void.
Ya i know... But it is hardware prob. So i don't think so they will check my phone bootloader.. So want to give a try
Do you have the white splash screen? If you do I'd flash the black one back in TWRP, then at least it isn't immediately obvious the the boot loader is unlocked. Next, I'd fastboot flash back to the stock recovery for the firmware you are going to restore (you don't want to leave TWRP on there). Then wipe data and cache, put the firmware on your SD card renamed as MOFD_SDUPDATE, and boot into recovery to flash it.
Thxxx. I had already flashed black splash screen...
Ok finally i need flash stock recovery and then flash the original firmware...

He doesn't need to do that - flashing the full firmware file via recovery will overwrite the whole of /system. Only need to unroot etc if flashing an ota.
Hi folks
Can anyone make a guide step-by-step to how back (from cm12.1 to stock)??
Clean install like factory stock!
I think it´s a good action to noobs, like me!
I found this steps, but i donót know if is so simply like description:
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=12528
"Open adb folder and Shift + right click > Open Command pomport Here (click on it)
On the adb cmd type adb reboot-bootloader
After you enter the fastboot/droid boot, on the adb cmd type fastboot flash recovery <Recovery Image File Name.img>
Example: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After the recovery flash complete go to "recovery menu" and select on it, after you enter recovery navigate and select "update from adb"
And type on adb cmd adb sideload <Firmware File.zip>
Wait the for the process to complete the phone (~25min), if you have an auto reboot, you need to enter in the "boot loader" and select again "Recovery Mode"
you can now select "wipe data/factory reset" (~5min)
when is finish select "wipe cache partition" (~1min)
and for the end select "reboot system now"
The Boot process Will be Little Longer After This Process PLease Be Patient (~5min)
Finish!

Backup anything you want to keep and export it to PC to re-add it onto your phone later.
Download stock firmware here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.59-user.zip
Rename it to update.zip to make it easier for you. Put it in the same folder where your adb is located on PC.
http://www.mediafire.com/?afulultx06r70a4
Download latest stock recovery here.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. Open a command window where these files are located (shift+right click in Windows should open a context menu with open command window here option).
Flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Type that without quotes and press enter.
After it's finished, press volume down on phone til recovery option comes up then press power button.
Let the phone reboot. Eventually an error screen will pop up. When it does, hold down power button and press volume up. Release both buttons at the same time. If you did it correctly, recovery menu will now show up.
Choose apply update from adb sideload then from PC command window type "adb sideload update.zip" without quotes.
Then wait 10-20mins for it to finish. You'll be completely stock. Your data and internal storage will be formatted. That's why I said make backups first.

Help Me DUDE !!
Hey There, I need to give my phone for replacement but I had unlocked the bootloader. how do I Re lock it ???
I bought a Z00A online just a few days ago, rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then CM12. All was perfect until I realized some hardware problems with the speaker. Also lately it doesn't boot up easily on pressing the power button. In fact every time I have to go to the bootloader and 'Normal Boot' from there. And even that doesn't happen all the time. I have installed the stock recovery, flashed back the black splashscreen, and also the stock-firmware through adb sideload successfully.
Now can someone tell me does flashing the stock firmware through adb sideload re-locks the bootloader or not ??
If no, what are my chances of getting a replacement ???
I'm attempting to go back to stock also. So when I'm in bootloader fastboot and adb do not see the phone. Adb sees it when in recovery and in normal. But I need fastboot in order to flash stock recovery. Right now I have official TWRP and superzen installed. I've tried in both Windows and LinuxMint. With the same results in both. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Weird problem in all my years of flashing to various phones....
okay I go into fastboot and I install TWRP. I'm able to boot into it ONCE and ONCE only. Once I reboot into system if I try and go back into the recovery it just loads up the stock recovery. WTF gives...???
As long as I don't boot the system itself and just constantly restart the phone with that "unlocked bootloader screen" I can keep picking recovery and it'll load TWRP. However, the second I boot the OS, TWRP is gone and the factory recovery is back in place.
I'll upload a video later if necessary to show what's going on....
EDIT: Here's my 3 minute install and please tell me where this goes wrong?
OxygenOS have some files to reinstall the recovery, i have removed them in my rom.
If you want to remove them by yourself:
Go to TWRP recovery,
Connect your phone to your pc and connect it through adb or open Advenced > Terminal.
Type this commands :
Code:
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
One one more thing, don't use "vol -" + power, just use vol +/- to navigate in the menu and power to select
At any point did you have to swipe to disable stock recovery?
nope I eventually figured it out looking around elsewhere but thanks guys. After install power down with just power button. Let it sit for a few then start with PWR+VOL DN
like u said u have been flashing for years, but sometimes we overlook the simplest things did u do, fastboot boot recovery twrp.img or did u do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, what is odd b/c when installing stock OxygenOS it won't install stock everytime, but thank u NevaX1 for the info, i am going to remove it from all my stock roms
Hi.
So I was messing around with the twrp custom recovery and (without thinking much of it) wiped everything in the advanced wipe menu :crying: (System, data, EVERYTHING)
I knew I had removed my OS and that I could just use the twrp recovery to install a new rom onto my phone BUT little did I know, when I tried to boot into the custom recovery, it would just loop the screen with the redmi logo
I am still able to boot into fastboot mode, and I have tried to flash the same twrp recovery but with no avail (It still loops the redmi logo screen)
So now I'm here to ask if there is any advice that you could give me to try and fix this problem that I have gotten myself in (I am not worried about deleting any of my personal files. I would just like to get twrp to boot so that I can install another rom)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem :highfive:

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
The stock android I had before I wiped everything was android 9, MIUI 11. I tried againt to flash the recovery through fast boot but (like before) when I try to boot into the recovery (by holding the volume up button as it reboots), the redmi logo keeps appearing and disappearing and doesn't go to the twrp recovery. At the current moment I don't have any OS installed (since it got deleted when I wiped everything)
Any other leads I could try?

I'm not sure how I can flash the stock ROM without the twrp recovery. I had the impression that you needed twrp recovery in order to install ROMs in the first place.
If there is a method to flash a ROM using fastboot, please explain since my unexperienced self has no idea how to do this. :laugh:

Yes, this is the method I used to flash the twrp recovery.
My problem was that even after installing it (using this method), i would still not be able to boot into the recovery.
However, it is fixed now. I used the Mi Flash tool in order to install the stock rom and then installed twrp after that. :good:

I tried this method and IT WORKED!!
After installing Mi flash I was able to download the stock rom and install it through the program without any errors.
I was then able to finally boot into the OS and install twrp recovery, then install the custom rom! :laugh:
Thanks for this method. I would probably still be stuck on the Redmi logo if it weren't for this
