Hi,
After successful rooting and rebooting, i have hit "Cleanup to switch to another superuser app" and now, cannot boot. Phone stays with Mi logo and constanty loops with screen blink.
Tried to go to recovery mode, reinstall SuperSU, clean cache, but no luck.
Kindly asking for help.
Flash fastboot rom and root again.
tried, didnt help.
TWRP loads ok. SR3-SuperSU-v2.79 also installs, cache wiped/dalvik, all same

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and reinstall your ROM. You will lose all your data, downloaded apps, and settings (I hope you made backups of them), but you will have your phone back.

Reinstall rom as DarthJabba said and also start using Magisk instead of SuperSu, since its more compatible and stable.

Thanks, this made my day, finally decided to opt for reflashing.
Here is a good vid guide for ones who do it first time in life:
u tube dot com slash watch?v=mfXd5E-Ix6w
Will look for magisk now. Thanks again. Phone is usable now.

Good news. You probably only needed to wipe the data partition - but you might as well start afresh.
BTW, I have been using supersu for a long time, without any problems. So I would very much doubt whether rooting via supersu was the cause of the problem. I suspect that the problem might have been caused by "Cleanup to switch to another superuser app". I have not done that in years, and I am not sure why anyone would want to do it now.
There is no harm trying magisk, but I prefer supersu myself.

Software v1.4.0
Root messed up in middle of running nookandzergy.bat. Got to the part where it says GG Rooted or whatever and it wouldn't go past that (I allowed ample time for reboot of device also). Apparently it thinks it's rooted but gapps and launcher weren't installed. I tried doing the 1 click unroot, the zip file to sd card, nomoarzergys, erase/restore and failed boot restore multiple times and it still seems to think i have a root on the tablet
When I try 1 click unroot it wont let me run it as a superuser and I get a could not echojava.lo.ioexception: error running exec(). Command: [su] working Directory: null environment: null error
When I try nomoarzergys I get error: device not found rooting to unroot! error: device not found
Any help would be appreciated.
I have read that the failed boot has to function correctly 8 times in a row to work take you back to stock. Did you go that many times. I'm interested as mine is under the tree and rooting is the first thing I will do.

This is correct. The 9th boot it will automatically go into a full reset mode. You have to release the n button on that time round too.
if failed boot restore doesnt work, manually download and install super user apk and then use unroot app.

+1 on using the 9th boot method. Other unrooting strats did not work for me.
Additionally, if you followed Indirect's rooting directions, make sure you have the updated rooting script file.

Mine did a factory restore after 2 failed boots. Assuming I'm doing it correctly. Powered off then upon restart I held power and home to turn off and then it asks me if i would like to restore. It is still recognized as being rooted though.

Upon restore I can get the rooting script to re-root the nook but super user apk doesn't work. I even tried deleting super user and reinstalling and every time I try the unroot.apk i dont have an option to run as super user.
I have tried the unroot script also but it doesnt detect a root installation.
sounds like you never rooted then. Make sure when you tried to run the root process, you actually extracted the files and ran them in the location you extracted them to

It was likely the data wipe, because the factory restore doesn't kick in until 9th or 10th forced reset/boot interrupt. I'd try again for the restore.

You're right, I see that now, finally got the factory restore. Going from there to try to asses whether or not the root is still on there.

After a factory restore, root is gone. You have to start over for the root process, and customizing/loading apps. Just pretend you opened it up out of the packaging brand new, and go from there.
Rooting was successful, tested unroot.apk just to make sure superuser permissions worked and it did. I'm good to go.
Thanks for the help guys, miniblue my confusion about factory restore was that I kept getting a prompt to restore after doing the boot process kill 2 or 3 times and I was doing that instead of going to 8 boot process kills and letting it automatically do a factory restore.

Yeah, the data wipe, which I've been calling a factory reset, only clears user data and deregisters the device. A factory restore basically fixes most problems short of messing with the hardware itself.
I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .

So, maybe I am a newb. I have followed the instructions to install CWM on my device and it even says it was successful. I am doing it from ODIN. See the file I downloaded here. Says it was successful but holding the volume up and then power button. NO CWM.
I am truly frustrated but I want my phone back. Can someone link me to the stupid people posts so I can get my phone working again?

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnk6ekjqp9vddev/2012-06-19 19.40.01.jpg
I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4hayf35mm26wr/odin-success.PNG
I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d176blydonlvrlu/2012-06-19 20.13.42.jpg
I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

Flickers when using keyboard on any app, and wallpaper flickers.
1. how to keep HW overlay option permanently checked?
2. Anyone else have random freezing? (I leave roms/settings stock and close/exit unused apps constant)

Reflash the ROM of choice..clean install ( wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, and system ) not internal or external sdcard.
Let ROM boot and chill for about ten minutes..then reboot recovery and flash pollution aroma. Don't flash the uber kernal..or any other. Just pick disable hw overlays and a boot animation, if you want. Then pick clear cache and dalvik and reboot. Should be good to go. Let me know how it goes.

Gil is giving some solid advice. The only thing I might add is flashing the rom once by itself, then flash the rom again with the gapps. you can get 2 different results from 2 different flashes. It merely helps embed the rom in a bit better.
I rarely have issues with my cleanliness.

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.

Hey guys.
The below is my full experience of how I flashed TWRP, the Xiaomi.eu rom and rooted with Magisk. Whilst it essentially is a step-by-step, it also contains not only how I succeeded but also how I encountered issues and so...
*UPDATE!*
Here is a slightly condensed verison with thanks to @airwebber
Get the latest xiaomi.eu rom from here or here, just scroll down and find the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9..." version.
https://sourceforge.net/p/xiaomi-eu...ty/?page=0&limit=100#5cb9f96ee8ba7c44716e87ff
Get the latest magisk (magisk v19 works at the time of writing this post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Some versions of twrp may not work on older builds other than the latest (9.4.25) and so use this one with:

Once the waiting time elapses (usually 360 hours) use the MiFlash tool to unlock the bootloader. Warning: this wipes your phone entirely, so be sure to backup anything of importance.
Unlocking takes a few minutes and once 100% complete your Mi 9 will reboot. Your phone will say “unlocked” on the first splash screen while booting up.
Your Mi 9 will boot, and you will need to either perform/skip the initial setup stuff. Once ready, power off your device in order to flash TWRP.
Press both the volume down key and power key to boot into Fastboot Mode.
Once in Fastboot Mode, use the following command to install TWRP: “fastboot flash recovery XXXX” (XXXX = the pathway to your TWRP.img file). However, I find it best using Minimal ADB and copying the TWRP file and renaming it to “twrp.img” for ease) in the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.
Once flashed, disconnect the USB cable and boot to TWRP recovery by holding down both the volume up and the power buttons. This sometimes will bring you to the stock recovery and NOT TWRP! If it does, boot back to Fastboot and reflash TWRP.
Once you can boot to TWRP, push both the rom and magisk via CMD line:
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
adb push magisk.zip /tmp/
For ease, I suggest copying both files to the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”. And renaming them to: “rom.zip” and “magisk.zip”.
This step is very important!! You must go to the Wipe menu and select: Format Data, then type “yes” to continue and then: do a Factory reset, which also wipes: Data, Caches and Format Data. If you skip this step you won’t be able to install a lot of important apps and will have to start over.
Now that you have pushed both the rom & magisk and wiped everything you needed to. Install the ROM immediately after install magisk.zip (in that order) both located in /tmp/.
The installation will take a couple of minutes (if your screen dims, don’t worry that’s just TWRP screen dimming, touch the screen to keep it awake!) once finished with no errors, then reboot and chose Do Not Install the TWRP app when prompted.
The phone will take a few seconds to reboot and show the first MI splash screen, but it should start booting. After a couple of minutes, you should see the initial boot screen! Perform the setup (connecting to Wi-Fi, adding my Google account etc.).
Once finished setting up, you may notice that magisk was not installed, if that happens, you can install the APK version and follow the prompts and reboot.
Once rebooted, confirm that magisk is now installed. If it is, I suggest installing SafetyNet and confirming your phone passes!
If it passes, you have successfully installed and rooted the Xiaomi.eu rom!
Also, when updating with each weekly I recommend the below as an alternative to using the built in Updater app. The reason being is I believe the updater app automatically reboots after it installs, which if you're rooted means you'll lose it. That then means you have to reboot back to twrp, reflash magisk, reboot, reinstall modules, reboot again etc.
Therefore to update a weekly:
Download the rom manually
Reboot to twrp
Wipe system and caches
Flash the rom and magisk
Reboot
Optional: I also disable my substratum theme too before updating and reapply afterwards. Whether it's needed or not I'm not too sure, so give it a try either way
Awesome, all files at the ready! BTW get the latest MIUI from HERE or HERE.
Make sure you download the xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_xxx.zip.

Good stuff for early roots without not tested stuff like twrp and magisk but I would hide that middle part coz some people can get be confused. Or make a short version which working in order and another with your all step's but separately
edit: still 46h left

Yeah I agree it's kinda overkill, being a a full run down - when I get time I'll make a shorter condensed version
Thanks for the detailed write up. The EU roms are google approved correct? Does the side Ai button work with google assist? Do you need to install twrp to flash or can I just flash global/EU rom if I don't want to root yet?
I just got the bootloader unlocked (1h before than I tought ahahah). I had some issue that the unlocker was telling to me thaat I didn't use enought the phone and that so I had to try in few days I overtook the problem using an old version of the unlocker (2.3.803.10).
Reading your procedure it all logical and fine, thanks! Except one thing that I'm not sure... Is xiaomi.eu a 'full rom' (on all Xiaomi that I had I always jumped straight to something different than MIUI and so I never tried it ahahah )?
If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom. That's because doing so it will do 100% 'clean' installation and not a an update on the normal global miui

Hmm unsure about them being approved or not... The side button does work. As far as I understand, you'll need to install twrp in order to flash the new rom, but could always go back to stock recovery and of course no need to root if you don't want to

Reading your procedure it is more or less everything fine except one thing that I'm not sure. is xiaomi.eu a full rom? If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom because instead it will try to to an update on the normal global miui rather than a 100% 'clean' installarion

That's a fair point - if you have some this successfully then perhaps I'll amend my post. Sometime soon I'll make a small set of instructions, rather than my essay

It just boot So, it is fine I just noticed TickTock as a default app installed by Xiaomi.eu
P.S. FYI I noticed that the devices is seen by Google as a Mi Mix 2S

Luckily in those two waiting-weeks I had time to test all the debloat that I wanted to come with a stable configuration today It's just a pity that we can't get rid completely of the Security app It is integrated too much in the system!
One quick question for who has installed Xiaomi EU with Magisk: does it pass SafetyNet to you? (to me no )

So once bootloader is unlocked I can install TWRP and flash the EU rom without rooting?

Yeah, to change the device name back to mi 9, just install "Find my device" app from Google play store, sign in with google account, there's an option in the setting to rename the device (this device).
That's the only place you can change the name back, I did try all, but only this one worked.
