I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 using Odin and an autoroot file. After that failed, I researched how to restore my phone to its original OS. I have not been able to do that either. I either can only boot to the Odin Mode screen or am locked on the T-Mobile logo screen.
BTW, I am new to phone rooting so more detailed explanations would be appreciated.
Are you able to boot to recovery? [ home+volume up+power]
If so you can reset from there.
If not you should be able download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin.
FOL1 is the latest - it takes a long time to download from Sam's.

otisdog is right, sammobile takes forever to download which is why you should download the exact same file they linked to, but from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293882
Since cf-autoroot didn't work for you, you should just install TWRP with Odin and use TWRP to flash supersu zip, that's more or less what cf auto-root is doing anyway. Boot your phone into Odin mode (home, vol down, and power), connect your phone to PC with USB, and install twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar with Odin (AP button, auto-reboot option disabled). When the status bar is filled, you need to immediately boot into TWRP without rebooting system (this is where you hold down home, vol up, and power). In TWRP, install supersu zip file. Now wipe cache and dalvik
If you reboot to normal android before booting into TWRP and flashing the supersu zip when TWRP is first installed, the operating system will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and you have to try again.
Thanks OtisDog and thisisapoorusernamechoice.
While I am downloading TMB-G900TUVS1FOL1-20160111153316, I tried your directions for installing TWRP and had success. I was able to boot into TWRP. (First boot success since I started 10 days ago.) I downloaded supersu zip and have it on my Windows 10 computer. I assume that I do not unzip it in Windows, correct?
From TWRP I clicked on Install and got the phone's files. When I clicked on Select Storage, the USB storage choice has 0MB so the option is disabled. Should I have started TWRP with my USB cable still connected? My computer still recognizes that I am connecting something to it while TWRP is running.
If that is not the problem, how do I install supersu zip into my phone?

The supersu zip needs to be in your phone's internal storage or micro SD card. USB storage is not used for this

Since my phone has no SD card slot, this sounds like a Catch 22. I can't get my phone to work without installing the supersu zip, but I can't install the supersu zip without getting my phone to work.
Fortunately, the file that OtisDog suggested DID work. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
My wife is also thrilled that I don't have a $160 brick. She sends hugs to both of you.

You don't need the SD card, you can put the supersu zip file in your phone's internal memory and flash it from there in TWRP. Also if you have a Galaxy S5, you have an SD card slot. It's on top of, yes literally on top of the SIM card slot, can be a little confusing and hard to see until you know what you're looking for (see attached pic for clarification, sorry for my halfassed paint job lol).

Thanks for the photo. That helps.
My latest problem is that every time I restart my phone, some shortcuts (Hi, Google; Gallery; magazines; exercise; camera) are added to my home screens and the default home screen is changed. I suspect that by clearing one of the caches, I can fix this. What do I need to do?
You can go into settings and find "backup and reset".
In there uncheck the backup and then do the factory reset. This will wipe all data and reload the os like when the phone was new - you can then put on it what you want.
MAKE SURE you have anything that's on the phone now, that you want, backed up on your computer because it will get wiped off the phone.
Once you get the phone to where you want it we can work on rooting it.
Jim
The instructions from thisis... worked great for me, although I accidentally did a full wipe from TWRP - no biggie, I was backed up. Thanks!
I appreciate the clear and concise instructions I've seen so far, I got as far as flashing superSU zip and wiping cache and dalvik, what next?

Yeah that's weird. Since you're running kit Kat should of installed system root. Or maybe I'm wrong on the zip being able to root kitkat/use system root instead of systemless.
Open the supersu app and see if it asks to update su binary
Otherwise I'd just try flashing it again in twrp or finding a much older supersu zip to flash. (Probably a 1.×× version)
You don't need to wipe caches tho.

Yes, I did, and no, it didn't.
Well, I eventually gave up on that root technique, and ended up using This instead, so now I'm running 6.0.1, and it seems to be working alright, but SuperSU says "The SU bianary needs to be updated!" and when I click it, it offers me the options of "normal" and "TWRP/CWM" as ways to install the SU bianary.
I know just enough to know that I don't know what I'm doing, and thought I'd get some advice before I proceed to screw something up.
Which option should I go for, and if TWRP, do I need to re-flash it with Odin like I did to install the 6.0.1 ROM, or is the process different now?

Ok so i downloaded rom manager and selected the top option flash clockworkmod recovery and picked my phone ( im already rooted by using the one step click root) and then i picked install rom from SD card and picked my room (which is Bi-winning v3) and my phone turned off and rebooted and went into the samsung recovery screen i tried to reinstall packages but gave me a error , i even tried the "all clockworkmod" recoveries and no luck same thing happens boots me up to the samsung recovery.
Does any one know what am doing wrong or what i can do to fix this problem?? thanks in advance and im still on my stock android os have't changed anything.
First, you need to start with a clean SD card. Then, open ROM Manager, flash cwr etc. etc. When it is finished downloading, power off the phone and reboot into recovery. From there (this is where the clean SD card is needed) then hit "reinstall packages, then hit reboot. This should bring up the iconic green text. reply if there are any problems.

i highly suggest you learn how to use ODIN in the Vibrant Bible. If you're doing anything that has to do with rooting and flashing your phone, be sure you know how to revert back to stock. You WILL NEED TO at some point or another or find out what if feels like to own a brick.

Hi,
I have a rooted galaxy S2 on stock with the SuperSU application. I updated the SuperSU application today and when I opened it, it advised me to update the binary. I selected the option to update the binary via CWM (as that's my recovery tool). My phone then tried to reboot but is now stuck on the splash screen, I have access to ODIN mode which currently says CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts) but no access to CWM.
Please could anyone help? I have a feeling I would need to flash the kernel but am not really sure what the best way to fix this is. If possible I would like to keep all my data intact.
Any help is appreciated
Also apologies if I have posted this to the wrong section.

After a few hours of struggling, I managed to get my phone back up and running.
All I did was flash the kernel with a Stock one eg. Philz (as I have stock JB firmware). Once flashed my phone booted up.
However I do have a issue with the SD card now, apps which were installed on my SD card were all greyed out even though I can access the data such as music and films off the card. Slightly strange. I did try mounting and unmounting, as well as reboot and that didn't help.
Considering downloading the apps again and simply moving to SD card and see if that works rather than an uninstall and reinstall.

I had the same problem (bootloop issue) on my Samsung win I8552 and I solved that reinstalling CWM trought ODIN :
1. First be sure USB Debugging is checked in ur device ( Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging )
2. Extract the Odin file from the zip.
3. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
4. Put your device in download mode. To do so, press Volume Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release
Power Button but keep pressing left ones. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading ..
VOL UP TO CONTINUE...
5. Now connect USB to PC ,you should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
6. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.(CWM Recovery)
7. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default) So just uncheck Auto Reboot.
8. Now click Start.
9. When it's finished, it should say that "Res OK" in Odin..
10. Now remove ur USB and remove ur battery and put it back and power on your phone.
It must work now!

I know this is an old topic, but the recent supersu update caused my phone to get stuck during booting:
The new update came over the playstore, it asked me to update the app. After that it said that the Super User Binary needs to be updated. I chose the option that does the update process in the CWM recovery.
Then this happend:
System shuts down, boots, I see that some kind of black screen gets displayed(softkeys on and the display stays blank), then it reboots and stops the boot on the Galaxy S2 splash screen. Now that I didnt even get to the samsung splash screen I flashed the Apolo Kernel as an tar file through odin
after that I was able to get one step further and was able to get the Samsung splash Screen but the Splash screen keeps on repeating over and over but after that I also had my recovery back.
Now I tried to Install SuperSU 2.16 as zip in the recovery. but the endless samsung screen persited. After that I used the 2.15 Beta file. but this didnt work either.
I also fixed permissions wiped cache & dalvic cache
Why wouldnt my system boot after the first initial update and how can I finally fix the boot "loop"?
Thank you very much guys!

supersu binary reboot problem
first of all, get into recovery mode and copy the rom and gapps files to your internal storage through pc via usb cable.
then wipe the data, and make a clean flash of rom and gapps and reboot system.
I know this method will surely lose our data. but I have not found a solution at that particular instant other than this.
It happened to me.
Hope someone will surely solve this problem.
Thank you chrisXL, came across this thread from a Google search regarding my OnePlus2 using LinageOS after the SuperSU binary update. I simply went to INSTALL in TWRP and didn't use any wipe options. Phone booted right up after that! Thanks!!
Hi Guys, please help me. I flashed my moto g peregrine with the latest lineage os version. After that, i enable the the root option via TWRP with the addonsu.
After that, i downloaded via google store the SuperSU app i it asks to update the binary. I choosed the option via "TWRP" since the other option didn't work. After that, my phone is on bootloop (the symbol of lineage os is moving) and i can't acess to recovery mode.
What i can do?

Fix soft-bricked Mate 2 (MT2-L03) phone using TWRP
If you messed up the phone and it came to a state that phone can not boot into android, if you have TWRP installed and have a backup, then you know how to fix that easily.
But if you don't have your own backup, I have upload my system partition so hopefully you can use this to restore your phone. The backup is taken very close to stock, and it is rooted with SuperSU installed.
BTW, there is a "safe mode" boot method, so try that before using twrp recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...ted-amazon-app-store-stuck-boot-loop-t2872628 (post 6 and 7)
Steps to Restore you phone if all other ways failed:1. Your MT2-L03 need have bootloader unlocked, and TWRP recovery installed properly. Even your phone is soft bricked, as long as you can boot into bootloader mode, you can still unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/progress-rooting-ham2-t2867975
Install twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc.../2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t28851442. Boot into twrp recovery and select "System" partition only, and backup it to your external storage (yes, I know your system partition is bad, this step is to create proper twrp backup directory)
3. Download following file to your PC, unzip it.http://tinyurl.com/qzxkm4x
FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip4. Turn off phone and take out your SD card out and plug into PC, then navigate to following directory under the SDCARD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx, the xxxxx is a string that different in each phone
5. Copy all the files unzipped from step 3 to above location. overwrite any files with same name.
6. Put back the SDcard to the phone, and boot into TWRP recovery.
7. Choose restore, select the only entry that you did the backup, and select "System" only, perform the restore.
8. Wipe your dalvik cache, cache.
9. Then reboot.
10. If you still have problem, boot into recovery again, and wipe /data parition as well (Factory Reset).Download the MT2-L03 backup here:

And thanks @dbmj unlock bootloader, @Modding.MyMind build twrp recovery, and @D33PTHAWTE confirmation that this fixed his phone.
Glad you got this posted. This will be very vital to many people down the road. And great work on giving instructions to create a backup for the simplicity of automating the needed directories for usage of the actual shared backup. Thumbs up bro.
@D33PTHAWTE, welcome back
For everyone not getting TWRP to work I have done it on 3 HAM2s and all work try this.
1.flash this stock recovery https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U&usp=sharing
2.even if you have your own use that because I know that works and I dont know what yours is.
3.boot into the recovery and make sure that its the stock recovery and its working.
4. restart the phone 2 or 3 times to be safe
5. flash using twrp using 15 second ADB installer.
Has anyone followed thoes steps and that recovery above? (not your own) if not try that and let me know. take a screen shot of what ADB is showing you so I can see that TWRP was successfully installed. Starting at square one. Flash twrp and show me its flashed.

Hey I tried this on my phone, I think everything worked okay. Android ui crashes constantly when my sim card is inserted. When I try to do the OTA update it says theres an error with facebook in the cust folder. I tried to copy that from the zip but it failed to copy. Im out of ideas of what to do next.

What button combination are you using? And did you have unlocked bootloader?

Hi, I have seen these issues pretty frequent recently that:
1) /cust partition is not covered in this TWRP backup, so after restore, you may still got facebook app mismatch failure when upgrade.
2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

Thank you so much!
Please try install this zip from recovery:

This is a clean Stock ROM (flashable zip) with Root after upgrade to B148 for MT2L03.
It should only be used for plain carrier unlocked Huawei MT2-L03. Other varies (carrier locked) MT2L03 is un-tested and may brick your phone.
This ROM include /cust, /firmware, /system and /boot partition.
The official B148 update also contains update to SBL1/ABoot/TZ/RPM partition, they are not included due to risk concern.
I didn't fully test this ROM, I just pickup the image from my early backups. I installed it to my already updated phone and boot up fine. So please try it and let me know if you see any problems.
Working great for me! thank you, fixed all my problems.

Is your phone mt2l03 and bought as unlocked?
Another thing you can try is do a factory reset (to be safe backup /data first) and wipe cache, dalvik cache.

Hello, I am new here and also new to using an android device. I followed instructions to root my phone and now I can access the command "su" in a local terminal. But when I go to download SuperUser it says my device is not rooted. Did I miss something? And if I did mess up and didn't install the right kernel, autoroot or whatever, how do I check my android's model number?

On the back either on the better cover when you peel it off or under the battery it should say something like G900T or G900V depending on your carrier and type of phone I'll help if I can just need to know which model you are actually you might be able to skip my instructions below and just go to install super su and that night work but if not just follow those instructions and you'll be golden if you got any questions pm me or just click the reply button and ask and I'll do my best to answer it
Download the rom you want and kernels that go with it depending on your phones settings such as oj4 OL1 it'll say under settings and about device those versions are the last 3 characters in the field (that confused me at first just a heads up) etc etc make sure theyre all the same also don't forget to download supersu (I can't remember where to find it just go on my topic and someone posted the link there
Put them onto your SD card
Download TWRP 2.8.whatever the newest one is on your computer
Download Odin and on the AP slot or PDA click it then find the TWRP file and click that then go under options on Odin and uncheck autoreboot
Turn your phone off and put it into download mode (press the volume down button and home button and power button at the same time) then the volume up button once the confirmation screen comes on
Then flash the TWRP and once it's done it'll Stat on that screen so you have to remove the battery then put it back in and boot into recovery mode (volume up home button and power button at same time)
Now go into the install button and navigate to your SD card and find the super su and click the install or flash button I can't remember which it is and slide the slider thing and hit reboot phone
When it asks to install super su before you reboot don't click install just reboot it since you've already installed it it'll work
Then go in and you'll have supersu and be rooted
Now boot back into recovery and install/flash the rom and kernel and ignore the supersu install thing again and you'll be good to go I also highly advise making a backup if you have the space for it
Ok I have done that, but now my phone is stuck on the T-Mobile logo...

Well I couldn't find that link but thanks for giving me it. I downloaded SuperSU from google play instead. But I started SuperSU and it wanted to rebuild the cache or something and it gave me the options to do it normally or with twrp so I chose twrp. It rebooted started twrp and started building it, then it started back up and was stuck on the T-Mobile screen. But I downloaded a new rom from sammobile.com and I couldn't get it to work then I renembered something about you have to use a secific Odin version, so I went from 3.10.7 to 3.09 and nothing changed, so then I cleared cache and nothing. So, I went to Odin3 3.07 and nothing so I went back up to 3.09 and it started to stop being soft bricked. And I just have to set everything back up, which will not take long, about 2 hours. So, I will download the SuperSU from that site and I will see if it works again.
Note to self: keep the stock rom, damn it's a huge file.

No problem I figured that's what had happened and I used Odin 3.10.6 I think it was and yeah if you do it with the TWRP one it ducks it up for some reason I think it's an old supersu version or some thing and it's not compatible but I'll also post a link to download the stock rooted rom for you to flash

Either or it really doesn't matter me personally I like deodex just because there's more customizability with it but both do the job also if you do the deodex one it'll take about 10-15minutes to come on after you flash/install it in twrp where as regular should just come on like a normal boot maybe 5 minutes
After about a month of making sure it works I have successfully rooted my phone! Thank you very much!
Every time I try to root my tmobile-galaxy s5, which in now on 5.1.1 and on the newest update fol1, I install the newest version of twrp for this device but every time I install twrp the error message "set warranty bit kernel" pops up. Any idea to get passed this so I can root my phone?

The set warranty bit isn't a problem, it's just the phone's way of showing you have a custom recovery installed. I get the same notification every time I boot up but I was able to root successfully. I assume you're using the correct version of TWRP and the superSU zip?

Same as normal boot up if I remember correctly. I also hadn't set anything up yet, even skipped the initial setup wizard that runs when you first start the phone, because I knew I planned to install cyanogenmod as soon as I was rooted. I only booted into system after I rooted once to run a couple of apps that require root in order to verify that I was, in fact, rooted. After that I wiped everything in order to install CM

I need logs or something, because as I've said, "set warranty bit kernel," isn't a problem, that's normal and expected. I can't know what's wrong with your device with no information.
Did you try starting from the beginning? Flashing the stock OL1 Odin file, booting that up (not setting anything up except a Wi-Fi connection), and trying rooting with that? Did you try opening the TWRP tar file with 7zip or WinRAR and extracting the img file to verify the download wasn't corrupted? Did you try doing a similar check with the superSU zip? What version of supersu are you trying to use? Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik after installing supersu (not necessary but sometimes helps clear up issues)?

All I did was flash the latest file of twrp. Then when it said pass I went straight into download mode and then flashed supersu (the latest version for my phone. After that I rebooted but it only says "set warranty bit kernel" in the top left corner in yellow. I tried this twice but same result (on the second time I flashed fol1 again before I tried).

When you rooted did it say "set warranty bit kernel " when you booted back to Android after flashing supersu with twrp?

Hi!! Okay, I am having the same problem you had and need to know exactly what you did to fix it.
I followed the instructions exactly. I am stuck on the "set warranty bit kernel screen. I want to know what you did to fix this.
(When you were flashing the supersu for the second time, before you had to clear cache and dalvik, did you just go into recovery mode and flash it again, or did you have to delete something before you did that)
Please get back to me anyone, advice needed!
I cleared the caches before i rebooted into the system ( well i think this is what i did , it was a week ago) good luck bud?

Oh yeah i forgot. You need to say no if twrp says to you " your phone appears to not be rooted , do you want root " because this just bricks your phone. P.s. my phone is rooted and is still says it but it is not true because it just bricks your phone
