System keeps booting into recovery mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung galaxy j500h
I'm ashamed to say but i changed the permissions of system folder and the phone boots into recovery mode all of the time. I'm a total newbie in this but i tried flashing the boot loader to reset it but it didn't work. Can anyone guide me on how to reset it.

If you know exact model of your device then you can flash any region rom in your mobile that is made for your particular model number device.....
but it will cause only network issuse since you are flashing other region modem...
For region issue you can flash the rom that made for your present living country....

You should use the country in which you purchased the phone.
You need to check baseband version mentioned in the about section in settings, but since you are already stuck in bootloader you won't be able to find that in your phone.
Try looking in a same model phone sold/purchased from the same region/country.

Thanks you people for the help... my phone is working as per normal.

Have you tried flashing a stock firmware using Odin?
Nope, I wasn't sure what to do, didn't want to make it worst so i came here for help.
Should I do that?
Can i use one of these roms? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570
how do i know if i should use odex or de-odex?

With the state of your phone now, if you were to reflash a rom between the two, you would have to flash the odex version because it will have everything stock, while the other deodexed one might have one or two things taken out, I believe.

Could be a bug somewhere, development in this device is still very small and new.
@OP, reflash stock as suggested, might be lucky and get your details back.
i just flashed a stock rom, no luck.
still no imei. is there anything else I could do?
Not sure if this is possible but use someones efs img and inject your own imei inside it. i wonder if this would work

I tried doing that on my old device with no luck, but it may work for him.
I had the exact same issue, unfortunately I had no success, I ended up sending my phone back to Telstra and getting a replacement
I have the i9305T from Telstra and I made the mistake of trying to install CF-Root 6.4 for the standard i9300. Once I did that I soft bricked the phone. I have been able to download the Telstra ROM from SamFirmware and install it and be able to get the ROM up and running again. I have lost the ability to connect to the mobile network. I can still use the phone to full capacity and even connect to wifi. I haven't be able to work out a way to repair the mobile network connection.
Can you suggest any ideas?
Guys I have thought about something go into the Hidden Menu *#197328640# Option 5 says EFS sync... Click on this and see what happens, there are also other options all over the place go through the whole menu and see if you can manage to do something and let us know

cool, i'm just waiting to get hold of original Everything Everywhere UK ROM before I do that.
OK, i've triangleaway'd my flash counter.
so now my phone in download mode reads:
Odin mode
Product Name: GT-I9305
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Now, it says samsung official as i used a foreign (to me) firmware from sammobile, i still want to change this to the everything everywhere ROM.
Why does system status still say custom? is it because i still have root? how do i remove it after i install the EE ROM?
The EE rom shouldn't add to the flash counter so i'll be OK to remove root then install it.

Try flashing the rom from this thread, then you can delete the super user apk.

Bricked Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards
Tesius

Make sure your firmware downloaded right, because it is saying it is corrupt. (redownload and rerun Odin).

Tks - I have tried many ROMs from different counties (other ROM or even Kernel, etc...) and upload does not seem to work in ODIN. When you find the right country ROM, did it suddenly work in ODIN?

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...

[Q] GT-I9300 not registered on network

Hey, guys!
This is my first post in this forum.
My situation is the following: a friend of mine came to me because her SIII GT-I9300 was stuck in the SAMSUNG screen. After a little research on the internet, I did a wipe data, which did not work. Then I researched a bit more and flashed Android 4.3 using Odin. Android was running OK, but I got "not registered on network".
My question is: in order to fix this problem, should I worry about the IMEI? (when I did the wipe data i didn't do any backup...:silly.
Any help is welcome. Please have in my mind that I'm a noob...

Yes root it then install cwm recovery then download zip file and put it onto your internal sdcard
Then reboot in CWM and use "install from zip".
Well, guys...
I did what you said... didn't succeed. I installed those patches, but it still says "not registered on network".
I wonder if it is an IMEI / EFS folder issue... As I mentioned on the initial post, I don't have a backup EFS folder.
Should I try to flash the stock ROM (I mean, the factory native ROM) so as to try to recover the IMEI?
If so, I don't know what was the original firmware because I got this mobile from a friend.
Any ideas on how to figure it out?
Thanks in advance.

I've had a quick look on the net, but I couldn't find any 'step-by-step'...
I mean, do I have to save those 2 files (modem MG4 + kernel) in the SD card and flash using CWM?
Where can I download it?

https://drive.google.com/folderview...usp=sha+ring&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8
these are released after 4.3 upgrade with the issue not registered in network
Flash
I would go back to an older version of standard rom. See if that restores imei efs back to version 1. Sammy mobile unbranded uk is version 2 so use an older version than that. I have gone back to this from version 4.3 stock. If phone boot loops after flashing do full factory reset. Then check imei. If still not ok. Install kies and it will upgrade to 4.3 and imei will be back.

Koj,
Could you please post the link for the older version of standard rom? After flashing it, how can I check the IMEI EFS version? I just want to be sure I'm strictly following your tips.
Just to remind you, I got this S3 from a friend who had bought it in USA, and now I'm trying to use it in Brazil.
Thanks in advance. Greetings from Brazil!!
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=ZTO These are a list of Brazilian roms choose the september 4.12 version. You will need to register before you can download. To check imei go to about device then status or from phone keypad enter *#06#

O.k the only way I know around this without finding your original firmware and flashing that, is to:
flash the firmware again, and wait until it fails again,
then hold vol down + power + home to get it to restart in to download mode again but keep odin open,
then flash CF autoroot .
then wait for the phone to reboot and it will install root then it will restart two more times on it own then should boot into the O.S.
(i take no responsibility if you mess up you device though but I have done this on more than one occasion and it always works for me)
I expect you could probably do this will another recovery(stock/twrp) instead of the CF autoroot one but have yet to try.
but you probably will be better off finding original firmware but you will not have Portuguese as you want.
Good luck with trying to fix your device

Maybe you can try each of the stock versions until you get the right one for your particular device. Also maybe a model number would help someone on here to identify what version you have, I don't know just throwing that out there.

Well I know this wasn't quite helpful, but I guess you learned your lesson. So which version of the phone do you have? Why dont you just download the latest ROM for your device and flash it? Then you at least should get back a working phone. Then do a little research and try to figure out, if a downgrade for your specific model is possible.

Well I know this wasn't quite helpful, but I guess you learned your lesson. So which version of the phone do you have? Why dont you just download the latest ROM for your device and flash it? Then you at least should get back a working phone. Then do a little research and try to figure out, if a downgrade for your specific model is possible.

Did you already try to flashnthe stock ROM? If not, I'd recommend doing it. Then search for how to restore efs backup. Then I guess maybe after a factory reset you should be good to go.
Edit:
Here are 2 links. So as far as I understand it, you either need the app, or adb to restore your efs partition.

Provide logs of the flashing process please. Otherwise I have to guess what is happening. Which firmware did you try to flash? Odin version?

Flash this UK BTU firmware. It seems to be the best one and will flash fine almost 100% of the time.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/99544/G925FXXS4DPIJ_G925FBTU4DPH1_BTU/
Once done root your phone with cf autoroot. It is compatible with your device and the above ROM.
After that install this partitions app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions
Top right corner click settings and restore partition. Insert your backup of efs and restore.this will most likely fix your problem. If you dont have a back up of efs theres not much else you can do.
Keep me updated.
Edit: what did you do exactly to lose imei? Flash an incompatible rom? Or what?

You need to restore efs, then go to settings, reset network settings remove sim card. Boot to recovery wipe data wipe cache partition. Reboot device then put sim card back in. Select auto network
Edit: you need to restore efs and radio...

No problem... read the edit.

Flash stock firmware
Flash twrp
Do adb shell from twrp
Wipe efs using the following command
mke2fs dev/block/sda3
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda3 /efs
Factory reset and reboot
Still no imei?. Try flashing stock again
I don't know if it's gonna work with s6 edge but it worked in some cases for note 3. On you own risk. You have nothing to loose anyway since it's already useless.

Male sure your efs backup is saved internally on your phone. On the app top right corner click settings and restore. Locate the efs folder you backed up and click start. Once done reboot to recovery. Wipe data and cache and reboot.
