I tried to update the Xtresolite 1.5 to 2.1 rom on my S6 Edge (ATT variant). However everytime I choose Wipe > system, dalvik cache, and cache partition then Flash > Xtresolite 2.1 through flashfire, all it does is turn the device off after a bunch of codes come up. It doesn't reboot or flash Xtresolite 2.1.
To get my phone to turn on again, I have to press volume +/-, power button, and home button all together.
I've tried this twice, and the same result happens.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
delete
you should root the normal way and install custom recovery
thanks for your reply!
I rooted with pingpongroot. Then I installed Xtresolite 1.5 because I couldn't stand the ATT bloatware. But I realized that Version 2.1 for Xtresolite was out and I wanted to install that.
I'm not sure what's wrong. Do I have to unroot and reroot and flash a custom recovery?!

Hi, I'm a new to rooting, but long time jailbreaker, and man this is way harder than I thought!
I think I'm on the right track, I've uploaded Rom (Super Nexus 3.0 i9100 ect), CWM-SuperSU v0.97 and Google apps (gapps-jb-20130813 ect)
But, I've unfortunately had a couple of failed attempts, originally coming from 4.1.2, I'm now back to 'stock' 4.0.3 and can't update, so I'm going to try again.
So I wanted to know, using Odin, is 6.0.2.9 the latest version of ClockwordMod and/or for the Galaxy S II (if it matters?) I've already got it on there, but I've also got a Siyah on there too, so just want to do another flash to a CWM.
And yes, no quarms about completely wiping the phone, I've backed up all the music, pics, call logs, ect, so just want to learn how to root to the latest version of android, and this version looks great.
Mm it's really not harder than you thought. You're over complicating things.
2 current options :
Have you flashed & are currently running siyah? If so, then boot into recovery and flash supernexus & gapps. Done.
Not currently running siyah? Flash siyah via Odin in download mode. Reboot then into recovery and flash your rom and gapps. Simple. Rooted and new rom.
As far as using CWM on its own (ie just flashing the recovery) it'll only be temporary. Every reboot it will reset to stock recovery. Hence why you need to flash siyah to keep the permanent recovery & be able to flash a new rom.

Thanks Hopper,
I decided to use CWM 6.0.2.9 (so now there are three kernals, 2 CWMs and 1 Siyah, wish I knew how to clear them out).
First time I tried to use Super Nexus 3.0, it looked ok, but wouldn't reboot, but then I just re-installed eveything again (both times CWM), and now I've rebooted twice no problems? I think I read somewhere that it had to be done twice, I have no idea why that would be.
Oh yeah, but now I need to get Swype back on there, forgot it was a Samsung exclusive, I'll see how I go from the Google Play, but I'm guessing I could get a custom .apk from the internet anyway.
Hey guys Im trying to get my rooted and ROM'ed ME7 Galaxy S4 back to barebone stock as Im trying to sell the phone.
What things have I done to my phone?
Ive rooted my ME7 S4 and then loaed Safestrap recovery and installed a custom rom on slot 1
Now in the process of trying to get my phone back to stock I did a wipe from safestrap on the stock rom slot which reset the stock rom I then booted from the stock rom n downloaded safestrap and was able to uninstal safestrap so now my phone boot up to a fresh clean s4 without any safestrap recovery splash screen
however my problem is in order to sell my phone I have to be able to do a reset from the settings then accounts tab and backup and reset button
however when I do this the phone reboots and has the Could not do normal boot error odin mode
I assume since I removed the safestrap recovery there is no recovery software at all now?
Can anyone tell me how I can get stock recovery back onto my phone and heres the kicker if at all possible to do so without the use of a PC as I currently dont have access to one but if thats the only way still pkease let me know how I can get stock recovery back
Also im not really concern with unrooting the phone as long as I can get back into the stock recovery. Also if anyone is wondering yes I can install safestrap again and it will boot up like how I had my rooted n rom setup
I just need to get my stock recovery back so I can do factory data resets using the stock recovery n not the wipe method from safestrap recovery
thanks for any help

If you're going to sell it, plug it in to your PC and run the Verizon Recovery Assistant. It'll wipe and reinstall for you.
My SM-G900T is running Lollipop 5.1.1 rooted by installed twrp-3.0.2-2-klte + SuperSU using odin.
I am planning to update it to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (G900TUVS1GPK3) using odin. After the update, I believe the phone will be unrooted. Should I install twrp-3.0.2-2-klte + SuperSU again in order to bring back the root?
Yes, is the short answer. It's a pretty simple process, just flash the update, boot back to Download, flash TWRP, boot to recovery, then flash SU. However, after some experimentation, I'd recommend an extra step, especially if you're planning to run Xposed. After flashing the update, boot into the stock recovery and let the phone boot normally after the stock recovery does its thing. Without this step, Xposed breaks Wifi Calling, and my guess is there are other things which also break, since I get force-closed messages for a couple of T-Mobile processes if I don't let the stock recovery run. Once the phone has booted, just boot back to Download & then flash TWRP & install SU, and Xposed if you want it.
I'm not sure if you'll also need to wipe or not, all the updates I've done have been MM->MM. You can flash those without any wiping or restoring because they don't touch /data. I've found that switching between stock & modified MM roms without wiping appears to work but later causes severe performance problems. Between stock updates, I've had no problems even without wiping.

Thank you Invisiblewave. I understand that I need to reflash twrp, but since I installed SuperSU already and I think the update would not delete/uninstall it, if I flash SuperSu again, will there be a problem?
The update will remove your previous SuperSU install, so yes, you have to flash it again if you want root.

Thanks for the tips! I just did the same upgrade and wanted to make sure everything worked afterwards.
use this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...l/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
That guide is incomplete. It needs an additional step after flashing the update to let the phone boot once normally, otherwise WiFi calling doesn't work. Flash update, reboot (stock recovery runs and does stuff), reboot to Download, then flash TWRP, SU, Xposed, etc.
I flashed the new Operating System (Android 7.0).
After that, I installed the TWRP with odin 3.11.
I turned on my mobile, and I looked to my battery. This is dive 1%/minute.
I installed it Root and Xposed.
I saw in battery informations, 1st: android system.
After this, I install the stock recovery. The mobile got bootlop.
What can I do to make everything work?

Flash the stock firmware again. You can't flash stock recovery with root & xposed.
Flash your stock firmware again and it should be back. Or try to flash twrp again first and wipe data/cache then reboot
So I rooted my tablet today in the morning, and has been discovering new stuff with root all the day it's night now. And I tried custom root (crdroid),
And it was pain in the ass. 1- wiped everything using the advanced tool (data,cache 1, cache 2, system) and used the
(Tabs3_oreo_forced+encryption_disabler).zip flashed it then flashed SuperSU, booted into it, explored for 2 hours noticed no SuperSU, wanted to go back to download mode but serial image shoed on screen and in the middle was: {Press home key to go into download mode} did that then got to twrp and wanted to install supersu but couldn't mount data, tried million combination of magisk the disabler and supersu but it's either: run vanilla crdroid, (without google service and stuff and couldn't download thanks to the loop) get data unmounted, get stuck on the screen saying: (tab s3 by Samsung blah blah) so I'm hoping to get back to the original firmware, which I'm downloading it now (region: iraq) but after I get back to original I'm gonna root it (because it worked flawlessly then, I can do that) but any help on how to install main firmware, should I just twrp the install ? Or can you guys give another way ?

Hi thanks for the reply it has been a really long loooooong time since i checked xda on my account, and I'm happy to say I'm now a master in custom roms and rooting, currently trying to port s-pen functions, and fix the damn camera problem with custom roms on this particular device. Thanks again.
