"Startup Failed" after failed root. - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm on a LG VS986 and failed to root my device earlier.
Now it will just boot with "Startup Failed - Use Verizon Repair Assistant", and turn off.
For some reason, Verizon Repair Assistance is not showing up when I plug in my phone to PC and cannot find a download anywhere.
I've tried factory reset, taking out the battery, etc.
Now, I'm currently attempting to flash it to stock but I'm looking for an easier alternative.
Can anyone help please?

Have you found a solution?
Boot into download mode and follow these instructions, it'll set you back to unrooted Lollipop

After you get back to stock, redownload the rooted system image before trying to root again

Quick question, what version are you running? I'm on 13b and I think that might be my problem, as I'm still running into this issue when I try rooting it again. If you're also on 13b check out this thread and follow his instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814

Odin a modem...any modem...should solve your issue
sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
If it just won't make calls and stuff, try updating profile and then PRL. If it is FC'ing all over do a factory data reset, reflash the ROM and kernel, flash the journal on zip as John suggested, then redownload apps. Do not restore any data unless you are sure it is good and absolutely need it.
i cant make calls, text, internet, nothing , so i cant update the prl or profile. whats the journal? im fairly new to this ive been rooted and on the custom roms for a few months now.how do you do a factory reset.? this blows i gotta get it up and running. i appreciate the advice from all

HELP!!

So I flashed my phone back to stock. Accepted the OTA for 5.1.1. Today I took my phone off of my charger it went into a boot loop for some reason and wont come out. factory data reset and cache clear don't help. Samsung rep at best buy doesn't have 0g5 yet to flash. Does anyone know how to get a hold of the ODIN files to reflash my phone. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Not really sure whats going on over on that thread. So let me give you my comprehension of it. So my phone cannot be rooted with 5.1.1. So my question becomes how do I flash TWRP? Also, if I can enable TWRP can I flash CM 12.1? I am not up and running quite yet.
Thanks
So I tried fixing this beast at 2 am when I got home lol everything was a blur and I really was tired from work so nothing made sense. I just reread the thread and tried it. CM 12.1 IS UP AND RUNNING>>>>THANK YOU ALL SOO MUCH!!!

GT-N7100 bricked device , possibly 'sds'

Helllo all,
i just received a Note 2 from a friend that suddenly stopped working.
It is a standard Note 2 early version (international model), no mods, no root.
when it is on usb charge , it shows the battery , with a non animating circle.
when i turn it on, it shows the white boot samsung logo text, GT N7100, and stays frozen there.
when i boot into factory recovery mode, i get a lot of red text with several mount failures, ending into the recovery menu
when i boot into Odin download mode, i can see the model name after the product name.
what i have tried so far:
per directions on samsung site, i have downloaded latest samsung usb drivers, Odin v 3.10.7 that should work with my version factory rom (TNL-N7100XXUFNI2-20141105083621).
the device is found by Odin (blue com line), the rom is loaded and sum checked in Odin, the write procedure Fails => NAND write fail.
then i thought ok, maybe the NAND is screwed up (as i seen in the red text), and found some sites talking about fixing the invalid arguments, as shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-LZvVLEC5o
I installed ADB, boot the phone into recovery.
With ADB list device , i can not find the phone
however when i choose in the phone: update through ADB
then i can list the device in ADB, but as sideload device.
there for i can not perform the rewrite procedure as shown in the video.
i am kinda stuck here, and do not know how sever the BRICK is.
and what way i should use to unbrick it, if that is still possible.
any suggestions/help would be appreciated
First of all: IT IS NOT SDS.
Second: You have done a couple of things that make no sense.
Either you didn't read the instructions on the vid or didn't understand:
The method shown needs either a booting device or a custom recovery
Third: There are a bunch of options to try
*Factory reset in stock recovery made?
*Recover device through Samsung Kies 3
*Flash OC1 firmware through Odin (I have no idea what you have linked above, can't open)
Hi Androidwizzard, what makes you sure that it is not SDS ?
# factory reset in stock recovery doesn't work => mount failures
# kies can not connect to the device, while it is not booted?
i tried to connect in recovery mode and download mode, nothing worked.
# i did try to flash device through odin with (OC1?) => NAND write fail
i didn't link to any file, it was just the name of the official ROM file. But if you wish to see a link , it is this:

Soft bricked device is no SDS - so simple
Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
Kies is able to connect to unbooted device - I have tested a view times - a matter of driver maybe and it must be turned on.
The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
# Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
The device is factory default and on it's original firmware
# Kies is able to connect to unbooted device - I have tested a view times - a matter of driver maybe and it must be turned on.
driver and software are installed ok, laptop is clean , the problem is the device.
# The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
obviously yes, the person from who the phone is has that provider and yes we are there...
@Androidwizzard have you ever had experience with EFS mount failures?
that occur out of nowhere, with simple daily use ?
Yes, I have and flashed newest firmware through Odin - needed more than one attempt but at the end success.
One time I used Kies3 to restore.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
But i asked if you have experience with EFS mount failures?

Rooting Sprint Note 4 on PJ1

Hey folks. I've had my note for almost 2 years and used to be able to use hotspot with "no root" hack. But that no longer works. I'm looking now to root my note but can't seem to find instructions. I'm on the latest PJ1 OS. Can anyone post a link to the instructions? Would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with the process you described. And so i have a few questions. The systemless root....is that basically installation of superuser? Do any of these (systemless root, custom recovery) need to be specific to this version of the software? Would you be able to recommend a thread on how to perform this through odin?
Thanks again!!!

First off some things you should do before ever flashing or rooting your phone.
1. Make sure ReActivation Lock is OFF. (Its in Settings>Security>Reactivation Lock = make sure its unchecked)
2. Turn on Developer options. (Goto Settings>About device and tap Build Number 4 to 5 times; then develepers options will be in settings menu, goto that and turn on USB Debugging)
3. You'll need Official Samsung Drivers HERE! Install this to your PC!
4. Always Backup Phone!! After you install TWRP.
IM gonna assume your on a Stock ROM. To root your gonna need to use Odin to flash TWRP, then once thats done we'll root from there.
You'll need these files :
1:
Odin3.11 from Here. It's straight from sam mobile. Is what I use and never have problems. You'll install this to your Windows PC.
2:
TWRP 3.0.2.0 tar file from Here. This file is only for the Sprint Note4 SM-N910P, So that better be the phone you have!! Download and save to PC! You can Thank bigbiff at this Thread.
3:
Lastly you need SuperSU Here! Thanks to Chainfire at this Thread! Download and save to your Phones SD card or Internal memory.
Now you have the files. Make sure you dont have samsung Kies running while installing or flashing your phone. Actually Dont have any other programs running when Flashing your phone.
1st - Install Samsung Drivers to your PC.
2nd - Install Odin to your PC.
3rd - Copy SuperSU zip file to your phone.
Now unplug your phone and turn it off. And open Odin Program as Admin. Now on your phone hold down the Vol down button + Home button + Power button at same time until a screen shows a Warning. then you'll press Volume up to continue to Download Mode.
Once in Download mode plug into usb cord to PC. Your pc should install some drivers then Odin will show your device as connected. Goto options tab in Odin and make sure all the boxes are unchecked except F. Reset Time.
Then click the log tab so we can watch the progress were gonna make. Then click the AP button and load the Twrp file you downloaded into that.
Click Start, Let it do what it does, dont touch anything until it done. Once down unplug phone and take out battery for 5 seconds.
Put battery back in and press Vol up + Home + Power until phone boots into Twrp Recovery.
Once in Recovery I sugessst to do a Full Backup.
Then you can Hit Install button in Twrp and find the Super SU file you saved on phone and Install and reboot when it says. Your ROOTED!!
Hope this isnt too confusing. It really isnt that hard. But it's easier to do than to explain.
FYI,
And Yes, systemless root is super SU in this case. All newer stock samsung roms can only be rooted with systemless root. System root won't work. There are ways to do it with custom roms and kernels though. And also there are other root apps like superuser, but this is the most common way.
Thanks aaron74 i was at work trying to explain between customers
Been away for a while so just now reading this thread. Many Thanks to you both for the links and detailed explanations. I will try this soon and advise how it turns out.
By the way, is this the same method to root a Sprint galaxy S4 on latest stock rom? Want to do this on my kid's phone also.
Oh and I assume this will trip KNOX correct?

Yes it will trip Knox.
And the s4, not sure exactly, but it will be very similar. But obviously have its own twrp file. Just goto it's forum and do a search for root. Something should pop up.
Ok thanks again for your help
Hay so its been awhile since i did any messing with my note 4. I wanted to be able to use android pay. But i read a comment about some system ui customized program and it said android pay still worked. So my question is is there a way to root the note 4 now and still be able to use android pay or did i misread the message

So was able to root thanks to the help from the kind folks in this forum. You guys are much appreciated. Now I have a question about tethering. Can I unlock the hotspot on the stock ROM?

THANKS! EASIEST ROOT EVER! I was going to downgrade to PE1 cause that's the only info I can find, thanks so much to the two who posted regarding this.
TIPS:
TWRP won't flash: I've had issues with TWRP where it won't flash in the past, this happened to me once again. It was going to an installing update screen after flashing, then some error message, then went to Samsung recovery instead of TWRP. SOLUTION: Pull battery after install, then it will stick. If needed rinse and repeat, eventually TWRP will install properly.
Hotspot: You can message some guy to get hotspot supposedly, a few messages above this one.
Knox: I couldn't disable knox first time, on second try it worked. I recall this happened last time as well on my note.
