Hi there. I posted in another thread my question but i dont think its in the right section so sorry for reposting it here.
I was trying to delete a useless app with Titanium Backup (TWlauncher) but it turns out this was not the useless app i was looking for. Now i cant boot my phone. I'm just stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII loading screen. I only got the phone yesterday and rooted it thanks to your guides on here. I've not got any restore options when i boot the phone into download mode. I have tried to just flash with a new ROM but i dont know what i'm doing wrong. Tried to look around the forums for old threads that might help but i couldnt find one. If anyone could link me to the needed information i would be very grateful. I'm a total n00b when it comes to android phones but have a little experience hacking various other items (Wii, iPhone and a little bit of Xbox)
Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if this isnt the right place to ask but i'm pretty worried! Only took the phone out the box yesterday, rooted it fine and stupidly deleted something i thought was useless.
Sorry to hear that. Have you attempted a manual factory reset? If you have then I would suggest you contact your mobile phone service provider or the company themselves and ask them what they suggest. If nothing has worked and you have tried all of this then your device is most likely bricked. Hope this helps!
After a lot of worry and many google searches I found out that i have got a backup, i just needed to hold the up volume instead of the down volume to get to the restore screen. I was just being a n00b basically. Sorry for wasting your time but maybe this might help someone else at some point (someone as stupid as me)

Hi I am needing quite a bit of help and information, I know that the help and information I need is quite a fair bit to me, but to a lot of you might actually just be basic stuff, I must confess i am new to the rooting world, and android, But i have been Researching rooting my phone for a few months now and finally plucked up the courage to do it at the weekend, anyway first things first, i have a Acer liquid e2 v370 with jelly bean 4.2.2, kernel version 3.4.5, I rooted my phone with Impactor through my pc and, when it was downloading it stopped and a message appeared saying payloader stopped or stopped working, so i thought it never worked but i then tried it on my tablet and it rooted it, so i downloaded root checker onto my phone and it said i had root access which i was over the moon with, Did payloader stop because that's how it goes onto the phone and stopped because the download was finished? ok now this might seem a daft question, but i will ask anyway, ok ive done loads of research but come across all different answers and different preferred ways, so now i am rooted what do i do? what apps are a must have? do i have the correct things installed? the apps i have are " super su " Titanium Back up " Busy Box " T-W-R-P " Root uninstaller " Root Checker " and that's it, in one of the apps i cant remember what one exactly but it asked to turn off boot loader, but i read that rooting your phone does that, am i on the right path? i will also tell you the main reasons i wanted root access, i wanted to uninstall preloaded apps that i don't want or use i did try this with the root uninstaller but failed to delete the apps as there still on my phone, i also wanted my phone to run a bit quicker and longer battery life change themes, and make my music louderand get some game cheats and that's about it other than having the options to do what i wish with the phone, i am hoping to get a custom rom but i haven't backed anything up yet as all i have done is browsed through the apps and not changed anything, anyway i will apologise in advance if i have placed this thread in the wrong place, i did think it was more suitable to genral than any other place, i also would like to thank you in advance as this is a big ask, but now i have root i just need a point in the right direction to get me started, thanks again for your time barry[/I]

I think I've bricked my device.
I have a Samsung Tab 3...GT P5210. Long story short, in an abusive relationship I had files on my Tab which I needed for the court process. My ex deleted these files. I turned to my old friend Google and tried to Root my device. Stupid move but I was in a panic to recover these files. Now my Tablet only shows Samsung GALAXY Tab3 upon startup. Just the white words on a black screen. I'm assuming it's bricked.
I will be the first to admit, I shouldn't have tried. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS STUFF. I should have left it to the experts. But again, I was in a panic. Please, please, PLEASE tell me my files aren't gone and that I can undo what I've done?? I used a rooting app called Kingo.
The Tablet shows the title, as mentioned and when I connect to my computer, nothing happens. The battery doesn't show...just still the words are displayed on the screen.
As if I wasn't panicking before...
Can someone please help??? I know I sound like a moron, but I'm desperate. If I was just an idiot trying to screw with my device for no reason...but I really do need these files. I can't let him get away with what he's done to my son and I.
Thank you to anyone that can help
Hello all,
First of all sorry I had literally no idea where to post this thread so mods please put this in the right place without banning etc.
To the problem. I have Samsung Wave 2 GT-8530. After being tired of bada i wanted to try to put android on my phone. I am newbie if it comes to phone software and I couldn't really find basic guide how to do it. So I screwed up something and now my phone won't even start. One and only thing I can do what works is to turn on Download mode by holding vol+ end call and camera buttons.
Can someone guide me how to load any android on my phone from the point I am now? Just fyi I have pretty good computer knowledge so You don't need to explain basics but I never messed with phones so be gentle.
Any help appreciated!
Hi all,
I was hoping to be able to ge some advice on what to do or how to try to recover the files that i have in my phone.
My phone stopped working without any apparent reason and i have a lot of things that i didnt backed up.
When i try to start my phone , i´m new at this so please bear with me, what shows it's the " Samnsung GALAXY SIII GT-19305N " screen, as it would if it was going to start normally, but it does not go further than that.
The only button combination that i have gotten to work is home+power+volume down. That takes me to a screen that says that installing a custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and in applications, etc etc.
I have never had another ROM or OS installed in it.
I did however have it rooted by an application called kingroot if i dont remember wrong, to be able to install a game-assisting app.
Thank you for taking your time to read this , hope someone can help me out.
Hi,
I will move your thread to your devices Q&A section here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help
You will need to register on XDA to respond to anyone who replies.
Good luck!
Flash a stock rom via odin and it should revive the phone. Make sure it's the same version as what you had before it bootlooped and it wont erase anything.

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I bought a second hand Samsung J7. It seemed to work fine but then when I had to restart the phone when it was at about 28% battery, it would start to boot and then turn off, I had to charge it to bring it back on. After this happening a number of times I looked for some help online and was advised to do a soft reset. When I did this, the phone came on and had a page entitled "Unmodified System Partition" again I looked this up and it appears that the phone has been rooted and TWRP has been installed.
Is there a way of getting rid of anything the previous owner did and get the phone up and running for a noob to use, as if bought brand new? And could the restart/battery issue be related or should I get a new battery?
I'm not tech savy, but I'm not a technophobe either, and any help I would really appreciated, so my son can have his first phone!
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Kindest regards xx

Your phone is in a boot loop because the previous owner messed something up. You can either flash a stock ROM via Odin or an easier way since you have TWRP installed is flash a custom ROM found on XDA. Make sure to read the info and the install instruction involve flashing with TWRP. Custom ROM can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development. I looked really quick this one is easy to install: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development/rom-cleanoreov1-t3875903
