My SM-G357FZ is sick after failed root - Samsung Galaxy Ace 4

Now since it's my ONLY phone, I beg you to help me as fast as possible!
I tried to root my phone through Odin. There were two files to load. I've loaded the step1.tar, but failed to load the second one.
After I loaded the first file, my phone rebooted into recovery mode. It was looking kinda different from the normal one. Like inverted colors or something. When I tried to reboot the system, it was plain black screen with errors ike "..... has stopped". I turned off the phone, and turned it again, only to see recovery mode again.
EVERYTIME I turn on my phone, it goes to recovery mode. When I choose the reboot system option, it goes black screen with errors. If I choose to wipe everything, and then reboot it, it goes absolutely fine. Untill I turn it off, of cource. Then it goes to recovery mode again.
HELP PLEASE

Well, it doesn't seems important error. Just download stock rom for your phone and reflash it, it will works again as you wish. The problem is you've flashed wrong file that it results a soft brick.
Edit: Not a soft brick, but a software failure.

[Q] Stuck in weird bootloop.

So I've been using Kang's ICS preview for about a week, and I really liked it, except from some bugs such as freezing after not using it for a few hours.
Today when I got back from school, (not used the tab for 7 hours) I tried to turn it on but I couldnt get past the loading screen, so I turned it off by holding the power button for a few secs.
Now I just cant get it to load up normaly, its just goes to the bootscreen, stucks, then its impossible to turn it off.
I tried going in to CWM and wipe data/cache but that freezes too.
Is there any other way to wipe it and install another rom like Overcome?
Mine did this as well. It would hit the Samsung loading screen and never go any further. I basically had to unroot it and take it back to stock via ODIN. Hopefully this works for you.
Hit up this link and download the big blue link at the top labeled DOWNLOAD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971&highlight=odin
Follow the directions to get into the Download Mode, then jump down the unrooting part.
After its done with the download it will reboot automatically. Soon as it does this make the tablet go into Recovery Mode. It should go through a script and reboot automaticly. Again don't let it boot normally, make it go into Recovery Mode. I think it took a few times for me and then it eventually went into Recovery. I then did a factory reset and rebooted. Now I have an unrooted Samsung firmware. Back to scratch though, but fine with me! I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to get it back.
Oh...and this process will wipe your internal memory as well.

[Q] Phone locks up when trying to get to recovery

When I boot into recovery, it'll give me the TWRP screen, the one you get before it goes to the touch screen, then the screen goes black and boots to the white htc screen stays there. I flashed CWM and it'll boot into the recovery, the recovery pops up but I'm unable to select anything and after about 3-5 seconds, it goes black and boots to the white htc screen. I've flashed the correct boot.img also just in case that got messed up but that doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas on stuff I can try next?
Oh yeah, also, it seems that I lost the ability for my computer to see whats on the internal storage. It just shows up as pictures and nothing else. I tried on two different computers that I'd synced up with before and they both act the same. I can use root explorer and see everything is still there. But from the computer, there is nothing.
Ended up flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset. Sucks I lost all my sdcard data, but at least I can get to the recovery now.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop and recovery vanished

Ok, so something seems to have gone very wrong with flashing my phone :S
I managed to get recovery working yesterday, and followed the steps in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155 , to create a pre-rooted 5.0.2 image. I put it on the external SD card, booted into recovery and installed the flashable zip, then used flashtool to flash with the instructions (though I also cleared Appslog, Cache and Data to get a fresh install). This went fine and everything appeared to be ok. I then tried to get the Xposed Alpha installed, but after that whenever the phone was rebooting it just hung if trying to boot to Android. I tried re-flashing with Flashtool, but still got the same issue. Would boot fine the first time, but then any restart it would just hang and crash out. Tried clearing the cache from recovery, but no difference.
So today, I went into recovery, re-installed the flashable.zip, then powered off the phone and flashed using flashtool, just as I had yesterday. Now though, my phone wont boot. It shows the Sony logo, then a blank screen, then restarts. Even worse, it will no longer boot into recovery. I hold the volume down button when the LED shows, nothing. I try holding the volume down button all the way through several bootloops, nothing.
I've tried to re-flash using flashtool which goes through the process ok, I can hold the volume down button and connect the cable once its in the process of rebooting, and it goes through all the process fine. It then powers off as expected and I can just disconnect and power on the phone. But it's still stuck in the bootloop and I don't have TWRP recovery.
Is there anything I can do to get my Z2 working?
Update - Re ran flashtool, this time not excluding system, only Partition. It now gets a little further, going to "Powered by Android" and giving the purple wavy lines, but after a minute or so it just hangs and restarts again. And still no recovery sadly....
I think I've got it sorted...
Used Flashboot again to do a flash, excluding System and Partition. This time the phone does boot up normally. The downside being that my root was gone. Despite my flashing a pre-rooted image, it seemed to just put a stock image on. And my recovery is still mysteriously gone.
In the end, just to get things completely back to a stable/stock starting point for later on, I ran a repair from PC Companion. Seems I was in the none rooted position anyway so figured I'd get myself to a more certain position. At least this way I can wait for someone to come up with a root for 5.0.2 so I can root and get recovery back.

Help with HTC amazed, display has no lights but the phone is on.

Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.
I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise

Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.
First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.
If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.
See if that starts the phone.
If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.
However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.

I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.
Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.
If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.
Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken

[Q] Oppo Neo 5 Softbricked

Hi guys, I really need your help.
I'm new at this rooting stuffs and I tried to root my Oppo Neo 5.
I tried so many softwares like OneClickRoot, FramaRoot, and Kingroot but none seemed to work.
So I resorted to an app called oppo tools
It worked at first but I got really annoyed when my status bar suddenly colored to red when my phone discharges to 15% so I unrooted my phone and rooted back again. I really thought that was going to fix my problem but that's where the bootloop issue started.
I tried to flash some custom recovery zip but it failed since I only have a stock recovery.
But the thing is, I found a guide that says to rename the clockworkrecovery img to PG86IMG.zip.
So I did tried that and as soon as I flashed the zip from my stock recovery, my phone hanged.
I long-pressed the power button to restart and boot into recovery mode but nothing seems to happen.
I'll try to explain a bit more on how it looks when I boot my device.
When it boots normally (I mean not pressing the volume to enter recovery mode) it will only show the logo but when I try to go into recovery mode it will show the logo with a little text on the lower left portion "Recovery Mode"
Before I flashed the PG86IMG.zip, recovery mode was still working and the charging screen when off is working too.
but after I flashed the zip, every time I try to recovery mode the logo shows up with the little text but RECOVERY MODE isn't working. When I charge my phone it automatically boots up and shows the logo and text like it's trying to go recovery mode (I'm just trying to charge? It's going to recovery mode)
I tried using "adb devices" on cmd but it's not detecting any devices.
I'm really out of ideas guys, I know not all people use this model but what would be your suggestion?
A suggestion on how to fix this would really be appreciated :good:
I'm sorry I'm really new at this, please correct me if I did something wrong starting this thread. :angel:

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice.
Lately I can't access the recovery mode but now
I'm currently on Boot-loop and I can enter into recovery.
The ColorOS recovery mode only have limited function that I can mess around.
It only has the apply update, wipe data and cache, reboot, power off and system file verification.
As always I already did wipe the data and cache but nothing happens. Still boot-loop.
What should I do?

You made a soft brick, not to worry flash it with correct stock firmware, if the phone is in warranty than ask them to do flash, this will take approx 10-30min. If it isn't in warranty than you should try it own or else pay some amount and the rest they will do.
Salman.
