Hi everyone, I am new here but have been an active user over on Crackberry for many years.. Here's my story
I have a galaxy S4 (SGH-i377m)
Rooted via Odin.
Android 5.0.1
Just recently (since buying my Priv) I decided to flash stock marshmallow. I found gapps and the rom that was compatible.
I restarted into recovery (twrp) and made a backup, I then moved the backup recovery to my desktop computer so it wouldn't take room on my phone. I then moved my new rom, gapps, and Subeta, to my phone internal storage, wiped phone, dalvik, flashed all 3 zips but the rom failed to install. I tried everything, unfortunately formating the phone, currently have no operating system and the phone is stuck on the boot screen.
The phone is also not discoverable by my desktop so flashing the recovery wasn't possible.
I have since moved recovery from desktop to media card and flashed off the media card, that failed.
After many tries and wipes and formatting I decided to try CWM. Using CWM everything flashed but my recovery. Again, phone is stuck on boot screen.
I really don't know where to go from here.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

I'm a noob when it comes to flashing a rom. I'm no expert so I think I accidentaly messed it up.
I wanted to flash a rom, everything seemed alright but now my tablet wont boot. It's stuck at the "Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1" logo.
I CAN enter recovery mode and it recognizes usb (but I have no access to the internal SD with my computer). I tried flashing the stock rom with odin but I either messed that up too or it simply didn't work.
Anyways my CWM Recovery is gone now after I flashed the stock ROM
I did cache and data wipes before.
What can I do. If I would only have access to the internal sd. Then I would try to flash the CWM Recovery mode with odin again and flash the rom directly from the internal SD. But I think that's not an option
Hi, desperately in need for your guys help. Thanks.
I have a Samsung S3 running Hyperdrive. I've used company email so the memory was encrypted per company security policy. I decided to flash to a newer version of Hyperdrive yesterday and after flash with TWRP, I found that when turning on it displayed the initial logo and ask for password to boot into the system. The problem is that it does not recognize the password I put in as correct one. I am positive I used the right password. Tried to wipe, format and reinstall 4 times with the same results.
Really frustrated. And please help!
Super wipe, format internal & external sd and then flash a full stock rom with odin, see if it will boot then.
I was using my phone and all had been working fine for ages. It was in my pocket for a while and when i took it out to use it I saw that it was on the boot animation of CM11. My phone was already on when I last used it so I had assumed it had crashed. I took the battery out and turned the phone on again but it got stuck on the CM boot animation. The last time I turned on my phone before that was when I flashed a supersu zip file to make my root work as I was having some problems. After flashing the supersu zip and told my CWM recovery to restart the system, it prompted me to "fix root" or something like that, and I clicked yes and it booted normally. That was the last time it booted normally before being stuck as it is now. First thing I did after it got stuck was go into recovery and reflash my current rom ( a CM11 snapshot) I then got faced with a status 7 error and so couldnt flash the rom. So then I flashed multiple other CM11 roms, none of which worked, so I flashed a CM10.2 stable rom which worked. I then got faced with the fix root before reboot thing and so I clicked yes. Still had the stuck booting thingy. I tried many things, flashing kernals roms gapps etc and nothing made a difference. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and no difference. I even wiped the system and tried to flash roms but only the 10.2 one would work, still got a status 7 with the CM11 ones. When I wiped my data however and flashed CM 10.2, it booted. I still couldn't flash the CM11 roms though even after a factory reset. So I have the reason to believe something in the data is wrong, not cache system or anything like that. What could it be? I don't want to have to lose all my data in order to be able to use my phone again, even then, something is still wrong as my phone won't flash CM11 roms anymore. So my questions are;
What things could have caused this?
Can this be a problem from flashing the supersu zip (a root issue)
Is it possible to somehow view or copy the internal data on a computer (since I cant get into the operating system), and this would allow me to get all my pictures contacts music etc anything so I can use my phone by wiping data?
Thanks, sorry this is quite long and probably hard to understand whats going on, but help is appriciated thanks
Don't fix root if you wish to use SuperSU instead builded-in cm superuser. Also try to flash via Odin latest recovery. TWRP should be fine. You can mount partitions from recovery level to download data to your computer. Of course if it still exists. If not, if they are corrupted you need to flash stock ROM and repeat whole cm11 adventure again. If Odin successfully flash the stock then it's a chance your partition layout and user data are untouched.

Its my daughters bog standard, cheap chinese MTK6580 phone (uhappy up580 if it matters)
It came with stock 5.0 a few years back so I flashed TWRP, rooted it, ported a CRdroid 5.1 rom for it and was working fine. Yesterday on boot every app refused to start, or stopped, or froze including stock launcher and settings so I couldnt do anything at all. Booted to TWRP and wiped cache and dalvik but although TWRP said completed, it hadnt.
So decided to wipe EVERYTHING including data and again TWRP said it had but upon reboot the faulty rom was still there, not working.
Tried to flash a backup that ended in tar error, fixed that and it flashed the backup fine, rebooted but it hadnt.
Tried to TWRP flash a new rom, said it had but it hadnt,
Used SPFlash tools to flash the stock 5.0 rom, THAT said it completed after the usual time and procedure, rebooted but it hadnt
Used SPFlash tools to completely format and wipe the phone which also said it had completed but it hadnt.
I CANNOT wipe this phone using any method I know of! or install or flash anything! Just this same custom rom that was fine for years and just went wrong. Does ANYONE know how I can somehow wipe this phone or flash a new rom? Tried flashing a TWRP with SP tools AND a TWRP .img and they all said completed but obviously, nothing did.... I've accidently bricked phones easier than I can deliberately wipe this one
Any help greatly appreciated.

hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
