[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

I guess you are able to reach recovery mode. If yes, then u should connect it with computer. Try installing a custom rom (i would suggest CM11).

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

Okay thanks.
By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
Thanks again.

Dang it.
Wanted to keep it.
But thanks anyway.
I still can't access the phone. It just boots up, shows the lockscreen, then crashes and automatically reboots, then gets stuck in a bootloop.
I wanted to install a custom rom like you said but i cannot copy the rom files to the sdcard (the phone's still inaccessible).
Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Also, the reboot problem existed since i installed root apps, the system crash existed since i installed a custom launcher. (Nova to be exact). I don't know if that has connection to problem.
Can anybody help?

Do a factory reset
Go to advance and format system and data
Then flash Stock Deodex Prerooted rom by akshay
Done
It won't delete anything
Flash cwm for star via odin
Then flash twrp via cwm
Remove ur SD card and using a card reader copy ROM file into SD card.
Mount ur SD card
Then flash the rom

I mean, it deletes all the settings right? Like WiFi hotspots and bluetooth transfer history and every app i have on my phone. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that i will delete all of that just because my phone crashes on passing through the boot screen. . .

U couldn't mention what tweaks did u installed to boost the phone and what exactly happened.
So,all I can say is 'do a factory reset'..
Just flash official firmware. The problem was automatically fixed without wiping data.

So i can just normally flash the stock firmware through Odin and Download mode and not wipe data? Is that correct?
So after I flashing Lineage os , it was working fine and until recently , so I was out without my phone and then when I got home I try to open my phone(power on) but didn't open . So I go and charge the phone and it was going well like the battery logo is there and everything is like normal . And then I go play some games , when I checked my phone again , it is at Lineage os boot logo and it is very very hot too . So I force shutdown it . And then take the batteries out to cooldown my phone , after that I try to start it again , but no use . So I went to recovery mode and wiped cache and dalvik cache using TWRP , but no use also , my phone still stuck at the boot logo .
I am very sorry for my bad english
Please help
You need to flash back to stock firmware and start over again. Something is corrupt.

Can I transfer Lineage os and gapps to the phone without the phone being on ? Is there a way to transfer files to phone other that ADB SIDELOAD . And If I managed to transfer the files , can I flash the rom without losing the data ? Like the picture etc . Not the application .

Try going to recovery and dirty flash the rom then wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.
By dirty flashing, i mean no wipes, just flash it over the existing one then wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.

Try using a different cable and a different USB port.
And check if MTP is enabled in "mount" through the button in the down right corner, it should say "disable MTP".

OK, try flashing your Stock ROM with Odin first.
and see if everything goes right.
then you will have to re-flash the TWRP and try again.

Make sure your imei still exists. If not then you need to fix the efs partition before you can proceed. Factory reset should always be done via the device software, NEVER TWRP!. TWRP has a habit of killing phones.

if TWRP kills phones, then it wouldn't have been the most famous and the most used custom recovery in the android world.
he can do factory reset from there as long as he isn't using stock ROM, and even if he uses stock ROM, it does no harm, but it's more preferable that he uses stock recovery for that.

Twrp has caused more mount issues than you've had hot dinners. The reason twrp is the 'most famous' recovery is because it's the only current recovery, Cwm is defunct. Cwm didn't cause mount issues, it only came about with twrp, on ALL devices.
I have also fixed the mount issue with twrp by changing recovery to an old official cwm and no problems since. Do not trust TWRP, you have been warned!.

Sounds like corrupted EFS partition. Check if IMEI is correct, if it turns out to be 0 or blank then this is likely the case. Unfortunatelly, I don't know how to go about fixing it.
Same problem, Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo). Wifi and Bluetooth not working. Mac 02:00:00:00:00:00.
I clean flashed havoc stable 2.5 from pixel experience stable july version and same issue!
I fixed it by complete wipe of phone along with kenzo radios zip from other post and it's back to normal again

Steps:
1. Make sure you have a custom recovery installed.
2. Backup your data and do a complete factory reset including internal storage.
3. Google 'Kenzo Firmware XDA' and find and download the .zip file which is also called as radios.
4. Transfer that zip to your wiped phone using MTP via laptop/pc and install the zip.
5. Reboot
Thanks!

Its not a hard brick, its a soft brick.
You need to download the original firmware file and flashed with Odin.
Try this
Download the correct firmware for your phone
Go to sammoble for firware
Download Odin for Samsung
Make sure phone is at least 50 percent charged
Put phone into download mode
But is it normal that oem unlock not blue? So there stands only that its already unlocked..
So THANKS to you!!!
CloudOneX said:

yes, Its normal.
When you unlock it ( became blue ) then your boot loader is unlock and you can flash custom recover and custom rom as well.
But why i had the problem that twrp can't mount system? Do i have to unlock oem after flash, too? But at the first time, twrp was able to mount it... ?

unlock OEM then boot into download mode
Flash recovery.
Wipe data and internal storage
Then flash custom rom
So now whe n i flash twrp, twrp isn't abel to mount all data (system, data, and so on)
Tough luck my friend, shouldn't have rooted your phone and why did you, root isn't needed anymore, 2 or 3 years ago maybe but not now. Maybe contact Samsung and tell them what's happened lol.

because twrp cannot decrypt Samsung's data, the only way it can is doing a format data, that means deleting everything to be able to write and mount data afterwards because the new data will be uncrypted, reason why before playing with root and twrp you need to backup all your stuff, once it is gone, there is no way back. So read a lot before playing with phones and their OS

I had a backup.. but before that all.. twrp was not able to restore it.. so after flash oruginal firmware via odin, my phone was reseted..
well, now you mention you had a backup, did you check the day the backup was made, that it was successfull? I guess, maybe the data partition is still good? so you could get your stuff back
I had once a twrp back that fail to restore 3 times, but at the 4th it went through ok.

Hi everyone,
I have this problem that TWRP asks me for a password every time, I tried entering my password but it didn't work, if I press cancel I get in the menu but TWRP can't see internal storage only SD card.
Does someone know a fix for this problem?
I've tried some stock passwords also I tried reflashing TWRP but neither worked for me.

This is a main problem right now on TWRP... You have to actually wipe all data for making TWRP work! there is not another way of doing it.

Yes, I assume that is the only way for now when installing custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1) TWRP no longer asks for passwords on start-up even after restoring MIUI 9.6 via TWRP, it still doesn't want pass
I reset my device via wipe option in twrp home screen but , the problem still persists. Provide some other method to overcome this problem.

Make a backup via TWRP and save it on USB OTG or SD card.
From the WIPE menu select ADVANCED
Select everything (except for USB OTG and MicroSD, that is where your backup is) and then Swipe to Wipe. Restore the backup you made.
That did it for me, I didn't clean flash official ROM because I've read that it bricks the device if you do it via TWRP (I am not sure if that is true or not, if someone has information, please share.)
Important: I am not some expert in flashing modifying unlocking and etc. This is just my personal experience, if you decide to try this and somehow you brick or/and damage your devices, I am not responsible in any way, if you are not sure what you are doing, better just don't do anything.
Good Luck!
TWRP 3.1.1.0

All TWRP for Rosy (Miui 10, global/ EU) now has problem with password for encryption. However I just select SD, point to the downloaded ROM and flash, and it works! Update new rom and do not lose anything. I think it only hide the OS. I only swipe the data when OS crash
