Wrong device forum but I'll try to help you anyway... Couple questions first... Have you rooted the phone? Have you installed a custom recovery partition?

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.

Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007

There is one last option... Researching...

Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...

thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.

The worst case scenario is using the KDZ updater.You can google all info on that

I wonder what happened to this guy...

Try a simple sim pull if you haven't already. Often times if you are stuck on 3g, a sim pull will enable LTE when you reboot the phone. on Verizon.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.
Thank you in advance

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

copy your custom ROM into a flashdisk. then use USB OTG, search on youtube about the tutorial.

It usually is, I've just got back from holiday and ran up a large phone bill so been trying to sort that out.
People should private message me so that I get the notification email as I thought I was subscribed to this thread yet when I checked just now, there's loads that I hadn't seen.
Sorry!

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.

Blu advance 4.0 L

Well thanks anyways, you offer a great service

I got one too but it has 4.4.2 kikat on it,I rooted it with Kingroot and it still works Whew..!
So my question is first of all, if I use a root tool to root a phone then where is the password for root ? I want to change it to something secure obviously so someone in china does not have root control of my device as well as thousands of others. I used the newest version 4.5 and it installed at least 2 other apps that I want to toss as well.Another question ,Even though I got it rooted it is incapable of moving apps to SD and seems the ROM was stripped of the capability intentionally.Is there an alternate custom ROM for this device?

Any custom recovery for this phone??? This would be greatly appreciated Im smart enough to flash one just dont know how to port one read thw guides so no links to doing it my self just help please

Jacblack, did you find a solution for moving apps to the sd card?
I too have a Blu Advance 4.0L that hasn't yet been rooted. Much like everyone else I run out of room after installing a single game, despite having a 8gb sd card in the phone. Pathetic how Google designed this, ain't it?
Tried moving the apps to the sd card, managed to install another small game and once again out of room. Is my best bet rooting the phone? Scared to do it now seeing how it can be bricked, should Blu update it as Deuler93 has learned the hard way.
Wtf is the use of a phone if you can't install apps to it? Is this the norm with Android phones? I'm used to iphones and still scratching my head trying to understand how incredibly pathetic Android is, if in fact you are unable to take advantage of the space in the sd card. Am I missing something? Can it really be this retarded?

want to network unlock the blu advance 4.0 can anyone help
imei #351991078242810

>I believe that this phone is only available as a "network unlocked" phone. So you don't need to unlock it, just take it to the carrier you want.
>Mine has Android 4.4.2
>My experience so far has been that I can install apps on internal or external storage. I have about 2gb usable internal storage. But with not even 1/2 gb total ram, most of my games are useless because they crash.
>I've tried towelroot and it didn't work. The Kingroot app has always given me trouble with other phones so I would be very cautious when using it and when uninstalling it. It will automatically try to install it's own apps.

BLU Advance OTA Problems
Hello Guys !
I have a BLU Advance 4.0 A010L and I just received an OTA update.
The package seems to be corrupted on the source (BLU servers), because I am receiving an error when the phone try to apply the update :
Have anyone here faced the same problem ?
Thank you everybody !

Hey you might want to take the time to learn how to back up the user data through the recovery and then if you need to you could just do a factory reset before updating. Yours seems to be different but when I tried to update mine, it was have problems getting and unzipping the update. Eventually it seemed to work but now it just says "no command". If yours still works, try turning it off, and turn it on while holding the volume down button. Go into recovery mode, and that will give you some options to explore.

Gives this error which I've seen before and aren't worried about:
"There's an internal problem with your devices"
Then it quickly picks up and connects to my WiFi.
Then quickly enables my Data.
But then drops me into this screen:
"On your other device, open the Google app".
"1) Say Ok Google, set up my device"
"2) Touch Pixel XL on the list, and follow the on-screen instructions"
And I can't get past this.
I think it wants me to restore stuff from my other phone but I can't figure out how to get past this section.
So I can't get to Settings or desktop or anything else.

I was able to get the 13 build running. i am trying the same on the 14 build to see if itll work on that one as well

Got the 14 build up and running. Seems pretty snappy. Gonna play around a bit to see how it is overall.
Edit:
Seems to be running well. Currently restoring apps. Has cm camera and apps loaded but can get all google apps back including pixel launcher.Pretty well polished as far as i can tell

@CZ Eddie, the "internal problem with your device" is due to an out of date vendor IMG usually. You can reflash the latest vendor.img from the factory IMG to get rid of this message.

Yeah, I knew it was something like that.
But it wanted Q instead of V.
And flashing that didn't resolve my issue where it's stuck at trying to restore from some other device (or whatever that prompt is).
I tried flashing the Q bootloader too and still got stuck.

I did.
Trying something else now and noticed that I somehow now have CM Recovery.

There are several custom options hidden throughout the menus. Not all packed into one section like AOSP ROM's.

It wants the "Q" vendor image.

Its really smooth and has built in root...only thing I don't like is lack of pixel home button animation and it don't allow unlimited backup but I'm sure those features will become available in the near future (or I hope they will)
Great job with the ROM invisiblek!

Root

Hello XDA,i tried to root my galaxy S9(Exynos) and i think i f***ed up.
I used a site i fount and seemed ok and now after all i done my phone behaves slow,restarts itself,on short,i dont know exactly what i did wrong,but i know i did wrong,and i want to fix it.
i want a detailed answer,as for dummies,cause i never got into such an complicate root process.
Thanks.
EDIT:Using TWRP i formated data and now the phone looks like its back to normal(stock) if someone can help me root it i will be extremly happy

managed to make root work but a problem appeared:unable to use samsung account,unable to use any other type of lock screen type except swipe,andafter i instaled youtube vanced using magisk repozitory the phone entered again in the lock screen loop.i think its something about the kernel i used(elementalX 2.08) or the no verity version using 1.0.
I will look trough the forum for other versions and i will try to flash them.i will also try to flash a new rom,maybe thats the problem.

The ROM is probably the problem for you. Because now knox is tripped for you many samsung and other services dont work anymore for you on pure vanilla stock. If you like oneUI maybe try out a few roms, they are better than stock. There is also a growing AOSP ROM community, there is a group on telegram you should check out.

Flashing TGP Kernel and magis again worked to get out of the loop,but the services still dont work(samsung,google works just fine).
Can you give me a good and stable up to date ROM for the exynos s9?and some instructions on how to install it?

Every ROM i try to install results in a boot loop, and now my phone FROZE on the boot logo i cant even turn it off! Help!

WOW!Thats bad.Have you tried the power+power down combo for shutting it down?a thing i can suggest better is to let it drain completly,and try to boot it in twrp,do a wipe and then try again.

none of the issues detailed in this thread make any sense. If a g965f is bootlooping after an attempt at rooting it, whatever was done in that attempt obviously failed and nothing in this thread really explains why, which mostly seems to be due to the lack of info from the OP and who all has participated thus far. We have no idea what baseband the OP is on, what version of TWRP they used, what version of Odin. We are lucky to know its a 965f so far...

a great deal of the devs that make the android community great all hang out here and share their contributions first on here, but you will find that certain phones on this site get far more attention than others, and the S9 area is a sad sad shell of what xda used to be. The reason im replying to your post at all is because xda is not the only place one can go to get good info on phones, but it is a reasonable place to put your trust if youre unfamiliar with the myriad of other sites specifically devoted to android and the users that avoid XDA for one reason or another. Try talking about any pay services on here or anything to do with "software of the illegitimate variety"
