Just got a SM-G938T in the mail last night and I went to get it ready for use as my daily driver by rooting and such but something went wrong and now when I attempt to boot to the OS, the phone is just showing a black-non powered screen, (it may just be powered off).
What I did was:
1. Activated developer mode. Enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
2. Download mode. Used Odin to flash official TWRP.
3. Rebooted to TWRP. Flashed stock modified kernel by jovy23 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge-plus/orig-development/kernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557.
4. Rebooted back to TWRP. Wipe. Full Wipe. Installed DarthStalker https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge-plus/development/rom-darthstalker-note5-version-2-aroma-t3217247.
The installer was AROMA. I selected all my options and the ROM says it was all installed and gives me the option to reboot. I select it and the phone starts to restart. I see the Galaxy S6 edgeplus screen and then black.
I can get into recovery and download modes again., but nothing I have tried seems to work.
Got it all fixed after about 6 hrs of trail and error!

(Originally posted this in the wrong forum, so I am reposting here.)
I have the Galaxy Note II with T-Mobile.
Some background: It was running Android 4.1.2. I rooted my phone once, about two weeks ago, just so I could take an image of it in case of an update issue. (I think the software was called nandroid.) Once I took the backup, I unrooted it again.
Since then, doing the Software Update check under settings never returned any results. It would just keep checking until I clicked cancel.
Anyway, when T-Mobile released the 4.3 update Monday morning, I tried updating to it using the Kies software on my PC (by connecting it through the USB cable). It got up to about 60% installation and then just hung for over an hour. So I unplugged the phone, re-plugged it back in, and then attempted the emergency firmware recovery through Kies. It went through this and got upto 76% installation and then just hung again for another hour. I again unplugged it to re-try the emergency recovery again, but every time I connected the phone, Kies would not detect it again. I re-seated the battery, rebooted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, but Kies would not detect my phone again.
I am/was running the stock rom, but my phone won't even boot into it's normal screen. Any time I turn it again, i see the screen--"there were errors during firmware upgrade. try emergency recovery in Kies."
I can't even figure out a way to get to a screen where I can install the image I took using Nandroid a few weeks ago.
Any help or advice anyone can provide would be extremely appreciated!
Use Odin to fix it.
If you can put your phone into download mode then it should be 'saveable' ..

I am able to put it into download mode. When I follow the instructions I found for Odin, the process seems to go smoothly. However, once my phone reboots, it stays on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen (with the black background). I've left it like that for over 30 minutes, and it just stays on that screen.
Should there be another step I should be following?

Try installing SuperSU from Playstore
It has an option of doing a FULL UNROOT
I am sure that will help.
If not then install Rom Manager from PS
Through RomManager reboot in Recovery
1.) Wipe device 3x times
2.) Wipe cache 3x times
3.) Under advance you will Find Dalvik Cache -- wipe that 3x times

But more importantly why would you want 4.3 stock anyway?
Install TWRP Recovery or ClockWorkMod recovery and install/Flash CM1 (Cyagonemod) or any other custom roms 4.4.x kitkat
Nothing is really working for me.
I can't boot into normal mode. I am able to get into "download" mode, but whenever I try to load an image using the Odin software (both a stock image and a Cyagonemod image), it starts to load the image, but just hangs a certain percent of the way through.
I also can't get to that screen where it gives you the text based options to wipe your device, cache, etc.
I've tried loading both TWRP recovery and ClockWorkMod recovery (through Odin), and though it seems to load properly (Odin says "Pass"), when the phone reboots, it goes to the "Samsumg Galaxy Note II" screen (the one with white text on a black background), and just stays there.
I've gotten T-Mobile to agree to send me a new phone. But if I can't get into any of the items I mention above, how can I make sure my old device is wiped before sending it back to them?
Just do this un root with chain fire root away app.
Then use triangle away app.
Then find 4.1.2 MB1 stock Odin tar. The complete package .
Odin to stock .
Reboot and then update via Ota.
You have to un root first and also have to triangle away which removes flash counter in Odin.
System modified status will not allow Ota.
That's the best suggestion I have

have you tried booting into recovery? after you load the custom recovery with odin and it reboots, pull the battery put it back, then hold vol up + home and then + power. hold all 3 until recovery. try a factory reset and reboot.

I have. It brings me to the same screen with the Samsung Galaxy Note II text on the black background and just stays there.
So, in summary, I can get into download mode (vol down+home+power), but it seems nothing else.
Try factory settings the phone through stock recovery and then check your phone status. It should say 'normal' but if it says 'modified,' download Triangle away and run the tracking setting (it'll make your phone say normal so you can download the OTA). Given you're on tmobile and your phone is the T889 model, check for software updates and install the OTA. Your phone will take a bit and will probably be stuck on the T-Mobile 4G boot screen for several minutes (it's normal). This should work.
So I bought 2 broken Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 from a friend knowing that the screens were cracked and that there were pass codes but I just figured I could replace the screens and then wipe them. Fast forward to today and I got one fixed but it won't go into recovery or download mode. I do the right button sequences for each one and but it just boots up as normal. All the buttons function and I tested them with the device on but no matter what I do it just starts up as normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
Just replaced the actual volume buttons and still no luck. Any one have any idea?
Rooted ?
Options:
If you can get into system ( normal bootup ) try enable USB debugging and install ADB on PC then run adb reboot boot loader or adb reboot recovery
or
If you are rooted, install Rom Toolbox and use reboot option
or
Use a usbjig, its small and cheap XD once you plugged in you can reboot into boodloader
Sorry to bump this so late but I just started trying to fix these again and still can't figure out what to do with this one. New buttons are installed and they work when the tablet is on but whenever I try to boot into recovery or download mode it just boots normal. At a lost here any suggestions?
Ok ordered a USB jig and got it into download mode. Loaded stock from odin and it still popped up with password so I flashed stock again with odin but erased NAND and now I'm just stuck at the final samsung screen and it won't boot. Tried 2 different stock roms with no luck no idea what to do
Other than being rooted my N7105 was stock before I decided to install CM via the Windows Installer. It failed once so I restarted the device and computer on the programs suggestion. Second time it seemed to be installing fine getting past the installing recovery step before I left the room. On my return it had failed again and suggested I try a different USB port or computer and the install would pick up right where it left off.
Except it hasn't.
The Installer isn't even detecting my device anymore. I'm stuck with a little blue fellow on my screen. Rebooting just brings me back to the same screen and when I remove the battery the phone reboots as soon as I replace it. I can boot into download mode but trying to boot into recovery just brings me back to the blue dude.
I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried using a Toolkit but get stuck at the "Waiting for USB debugging to be turned on" part. I've looked at Heimdall but aren't really sure where to start or if it could even help.
Any suggestions?

try to flash stock ROM using Odin, you might have to try different versions.
Just enter download mode, connect usb and flash
So, i recently have tried flashing Xposed on the MM 6.0.1 on G920P a.k.a Sprint S6
( ALL_SPT_G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_CL7280193_QB8664149_REV02_user_low_ship.tar )
I have root and recovery, but Xposed doesnt seem to comply with me.
from multiple sources or builds.
And each Xposed file that i've tried so far that i've been flashing over and over again, rinse and repeat.
( Flash Stock through Odin, Go through setup process on the phone, Reboot Back to Download mode to Flash TWRP, Reboot, Back to TWRP to Flash Xposed, Once flashed i Restart it again, back to the s6 screen to becoming a black screen bootloop, thus having me restart the whole flashing process again )
from android file host website. And Default xda unofficialy build on this website.
xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64-by-romracer-20151218
xposed-v80.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211 - ABDYASAR 7.8MB
xposed-v80.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211 - SANOC 7.8mb
xposed-v80.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211 -WANAM 7.8MB
xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64-by-romracer-20160202
It would go from the Galaxy S6 Boot Menu startup to black screen and bootloop back to the original BootMenu or screen.
NO LED cycles nothing, but i can access Download Mode and Recovery But Updating Nor Uninstalling doesn't do anything to the rom, it just keeps boot looping unless i Flash the Stock back into place.
I'd like to have Xposed working i havent found a version for me that would work for this but i would really appreciate if everyone could help out.

Did it work. Ive only noticed a tad bit longer boot up the 1st time but all good.
i've tried most of them and i tried v80.0 or v80 and i got one part success half i didnt which was from it i got to the LTE spectrum screen and it just would go past that before it would just be the led flashing and bglank screen, i waited about and hour and still nothin changed from that screen.
Nevermind i made an update
This is what i've managed so far.... what am i missing here?
So here's what i"d take place in order to attempt a flash of Xposed Framework.
I start with Pre- Downloading the files for the MM 6.0.1 Stock Rom, it's in the forums Somewhere.
TWRP ( New_S6_Spr_TWRP_MM_Bootloader2 ) a.k.a 3.0.1
(This is a special version only for the Sprint SM-G920P and is meant to be flashed with Odin)
SuperSU 2.68 a.k.a ( BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503 )
and obviously, Odin ( Odin3 v3.10 )
The steps that are taken place.
1st. I'd Boot my device into download/odin mode.
or
( while the device is powered off, i press and hold the home+power+volume down buttons.
and from there I'd be taken to a light blueish screen saying "Warning", and i follow through by pressing volume up)
2nd.
Once the device is in download/odin mode, and ready to go, i'd take my phone, plug it into my windows PC and open Odinv3 and from there
i'd select in odin, or i'd click the "AP" button and select the, tar file.
After that has been flashed thoroughly, I'd then proceed with the follow on screens, the 1st reboot and it updates or it says
Optimizing app 1 to 30.... the 2nd reboot where the hand free activation commences and
from that 3rd time it reboots and boots up again, i'd follow up with my login information.
3rd. once my device has been fully booted from the 2nd part, i'd then shut it down or restart it into "download mode again" and connect it to my pc again
and from there i'd load odin, and search or i'd find where I downloaded the special "TWRP .tar" or recovery file
and select the "Ap" option again and press start Afterwards.
After it flashes, right when its done i automatically hold the home+power+volume up buttons,
turn the device off and hold home+power+volume up and your should get some red text in the upper left hand corner with recovery not enforcing, that's okay dont be worried,
and from there it should boot into and be brought into TWRP...finally lol.
Now that's where you can flash SuperSU
4th. I'd leave my phone connected to my pc until, it's fully booting into twrp or i'd just connect it once im in the recovery.
I let my pc detect my phone and i'd copy both of these files.
SuperSU 2.68
and
Xposed
4th. After its copied, i'd go back into my phone, i tap install, and i select supersu and let it run, afterwards, i press reboot.
And let it sit for about another 2 minutes to do its own thing. Afterwards. once the phone is fully booted up.
I'd then go back into recovery, and flash Xposed and i'd wait about another 2-3 minutes for it to cycle
from the LTE Spectrum Screen to the, torquise colored screen where it's finally optimizing apps from 0 to 331.
5th. Once done, i'd finally have my advantage to install what i'd like which i'm doing as of right now still testing it out.
P.S if you do what i do for the SnapPrefs Module then i'd take in high note that before you flash the Xposed to download latest Snapchat 9.26
log in, once logged in then proceed with the rest and download XInstaller to downgrade from 9.26 to 9.17.1.0 to take full advantage of Snapprefs coolness.
upon note so far, after installing the modules, i rebooted my phone and it boots until it hits the LTE Spectrum screen and it has a light blueish pusling cycle and im stuck here.
maybe i can try another version. to be continued...
If you need any help feel free, i will try as best as i can, as i am a n00b but i have plenty of free time and have some decent knowledge about this.
After , i went back into recovery, i went to uninstall xposed thru the other flash file and its says optimizing 0 to 36 items and it booted so far, mayber after i flash the cache again and reinstall i should be fine but until further notice...tbc
Alright after a good amount of time i;ve finally concluded that the versions i;ve tired from xposed were the ones from the OFFICIAL thread and id always bootloop with that puling blue led and black screen, BUT with Wanams Xposed Version 80, and 79 they worked EXCEPT i can only get to the LTE SPecturm white boot screen and it does nothing from there BUT when i flash 80.1 it completely pulls through with the boot and completes but i had forgotten to mention that for some people on aanother thread that Xinstaller may leave you with bootloops and as it did for me thats exactly what happened. But i m still confused as to why the officials dont work by wanams does even after wiping cache,and dalvik cache multiple times and uninstall and reinstalling xposed.
Does yours still bootloop or did it finally pull through?
I flashed nusantara project 2.6(android 11) on my redmi note 5 pro along with nikgapps. Everything was working fine on booting but I didn't like the launcher. I saw that nikgapps had an addon package for pixel launcher and thought i'll install that. So i booted into my recovery and flashed that and rebooted into my system. On booting, I get the boot animation which gets completed and the phone boots but instead of the lockscreen, i only see a black screen. On holding the power button I see three options: power off, reboot and emergency call.
So i thought maybe the launcher was not compatible and that reflashing the rom would fix it. But I'm not able to boot into my recovery with any key combo. I'm also not able to boot into fastboot either. So I can't even use the miflash tool to flash a fastboot miui rom.
When booted into the black screen, miflash does detect my device when i connect it but when i flash a fastboot rom, nothing happens. It says flashing for an extremely long time and my phone is still in the black screen itself
Let me know if you have any ideas which i can try to fix this
Fixed it by going into edl mode and using miflash tool
