I attempted a root on Samsung Note 2 Sprint version (in white). Followed all steps, however phone got stuck in a reboot loop right after I put the option 2 (root only) Odin step in. Sprint ver LPH889 (I believe that is what Odin is calling it, option 72). Toolkit used was ADB 4.1.0.
Original symptoms were that the Android updater was looping trying to load everything; being new I made it worse and tried recoveries and reloads which also failed. Now it boots, goes to splash, circling blue oval image and...it stays there.
Good news: I have access to download mode and recovery reset mode (including sideloading).
Bad news: every thread I've followed has given me an issue.
I have recovery access but I need some idea of where to go from here and searches have shown near but not exact symptoms. I have unplugged it from the pc, removed the battery, done a factory reset, attempted to reflash via Odin (root) attempted to reflash stock via Odin and so far I am still stuck in a reboot loop. Windows detects the phone but shows a problem in device manager because possibly it won't stop rebooting. Any help you can provide is appreciated and if at all possible I need to recover some form of working phone here, and soon. My girl needs it for work and Sprint's network in my area barely works from day to day (which they admit but don't credit my account for). This phone has problems sending/receiving calls, they claim it's fine, and I was forced to try a root to get some form of working device. That failed too.
I'm a newb at this...it's been years since I flashed a phone (Razor v3), so...any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to crawl to sprint/samsung and get it replaced, which I don't want to do. Thanks.

What method are you using to root.....I used the "toolkit" and had no problems at all.

I thought it would to but I did not want to dig through 70+ pages of the thread when searching failed...unless I really needed to. Most of it is old and doesn't apply.
I was directed by the referenced Youtube vid. I used the options referenced for the phone in this thread with that toolkit. I backed up existing files (not as one unit, but internal files and I think OS), went for the option 2, followed the instructions and things went great through odin...until android went to update and started looping with the 'updating files' percentages. At that point I tried to restore to basic and started clearing caches and such and that is how I got to where I am.
When that failed I started looking at the leaked stock flash and that failed on shoot.ini which that guy never addressed because he thought his international version was all versions (that's why I choose 'doesitwork?' as screen name ). So i'm down to sideloading or something. I really need guidance, and I emailed the toolkit author but I'm still waiting on a reply.
Any thoughts?

When used the toolkit a year ago, I found that I had to turned off all firewalls and antivirus apps for it to work properly. Once I did that it worked fine....give it a shot...can't hurt......might even be able to repair what you've done so far.....Good Luck!!!
I'll give this my best shot...download a rooted rom from the development section and place it on your SD card.
Download toolkit from here (I take no credit for this) http://d-h.st/iu0
Put phone in download mode.
Open ODIN and uncheck "auto reboot". Then click "PDA" and add the .tar file (recovery).
Plug phone into PC (make sure to have samsung drivers installed).
Once ODIN sees the phone you can click "start".
When the recovery flash is complete, pull your battery to ensure power down.
Boot into recovery : volume up, home, power all at the same time.
Flash rooted rom.
Toolkit is an extra and unnecessary step.

Grab the one click flavor of choice. Use the one with 1090526 in the name as that's the full version.
Open in windows, put phone in download mode and flash. Easy Peasy.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.
Sorry for the late reply, I had some issues with the "catchpa".
The one click fix worked like a charm, thank you! I will soon be making a contrib to the site. It's a shame I couldn't root as easily :laugh: .
I know the level of work that goes into this stuff and the desire to keep on top of new gear while maintaining support for the old and I appreciate the community coming to my aid, so again, thank you!

It is usually a pretty common courtesy to hit the "thanks button" when someone helps you out.
I am not at all trying to be mean, just letting you know.

(couldnt find recovery) and i tried flashing in stock recovery and got a fail . im kind of lost right now and am wondering if there is another way or do i have to do the toolkit? thanks
edit: for some reason, the tool kit links have been pulled by a mod. ..but this video helped me get twrp back. phew. zedomax to the rescue.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7leb9OznhqY
Hey guys.
I'm new to this forum... and am posting this as I no longer know what to do, and need some guidance.
First I'll say that I've looked ALL OVER this forum and others, but couldn't solve my problem.
...So I subscribed in the hopes that someone will be able to more properly guide me.
------------------------------------------
So, first thing's fisrt - the story from the beginning:::
My device is an OPPO Find7 (QHD Version)
I've been using Cyanogenmod 11 for many months and without any problems.
Few days ago I installed the first nightly update of CM12 - and phone went into boot loop.
I had to restore to the ColorOS backup that was saved on my phone... Reinstalled CM11 and all is good.
Later I again updated to CM12 - and again was forced to revert back to Backup and then to CM11 due to bugs (phone wouldn't wake up after being locked, etc)
Anyway, There were three nightly build of CM12 to that point,and the last one was working in a relatively stable manner,
exept two bugs.
1. Contact names didn't appear when mamkiing to receiving a call - even though they were saved on the phone.
But this bug can be overlooked.
2. This one was more cirtical - - For some reason the phone said that I have no more free
space (even though I had 20+GB), thus preventing me from installing or updating
anything.
I figured that, perhaps, becuase of all the re-installs that I've done - my system memory got clogged.
So I decided, with more haste than thought, to perform a full wipe...SDcard and all, which consequently also removed
my ColorOS backup and everything, basically.
-----------------------------------------
The currrent outcome of what I did:::
Phone has no OS installed on it, and PC doesn't llow my to put files in there.
I can currently boot in three different states:
1. Normal boot with power button - - - OPPO logo appears - followed by a black
screen PC recognizes that I've connected a device, tries to install MTP Device and
evetually fails.
2. Power Button + Vol Up - - - Fastboot screen.
3. Power button+Vol-Down - - - Boots into the Gummified Team Win Recovery 2.7.1.0
In here, several things need to be mentioned.
- In the "Mount" section, I can choose which Partitions to mount to unmount, but
don't actually have the "Mount" button inside... So I can't mount.
- ADB Sideload doesn't work. When activating - it says "Starting ADB Sideload
Feature and just goes on forever, until I cancel it - and it says that it failed.
--------------------------------------------------
What I tried doing:::
Tried to use the Recovery Installer for OPPO, which is the exe that is available on the internet, that comes with drivers and all - and open command line with various options.
Tried installing the stock Color OS recovery, but when booting into it I still get the teamwin recovery
I am unsure how to proceed.
Is there a way to fix my phone?
I have my CM11 working version and gapps ready - just need to place it in the phone somehow.
Any help?

Do you have an OTG Usb drive. If so, you can use it with Nameless TWRP. Copy the Installation files into the USB drive and plug the usb drive into the phone. Now boot into Nameless recovery. It will show USBOTG. You can install the CM11 from USBOTG.
Flash Nameless recovery using Fastboot.
Download Nameless Recovery from HERE.

This link explains how to restore our find 7 to factory settings:
oppoforums.com/threads/guida-riportare-il-find-7-7a-nello-stato-dacquisto-con-il-firmware-sahara.24561
if phone doesn't start try it i've use it several times and it works fine
I might just be reposting what dracula6mt was talking about, but there's an English post with full brick recovery here: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/. I've used it before and it works perfectly. Just make sure you follow it exactly as written!
Bug
same bug report
for retrive your data just open the gummy twrp recovery, go on mount --> sd card and internal memory... in this way when you connect the phone to pc you will be able to see what's inside and try to rescue your data. in the same way you can send files to it.
I suggest you to get back your files, reboot the phone in fastboot mode (hold power and volume +) and just flash a recovery, it depends about what you want to install:
twrp for custom roms https://dl.twrp.me/find7/
colorOS stock recovery http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=17397&extra=
you have to install fastboot on your pc and do from a command prompt:
fastboot devices
this will check if your phone is connected
fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img
that will flash the recovery, only check the name of the .img file you want to install
be carreful, twrp has only a version for both find7s (QHD) and find7a while colorOS recovery 1.0 is different, unified for both models in 1.2 if i remember right...
after that you just have to put on your external storage the rom you want to use, wipe all except the external sd card, and flash...

Taken from my article ( for those who can read ) :
Please Stop asking for password without reading the article completely till the end, THIS TOOL WONT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE NECESSARY SERVICE ROM ! Try sharing your phone model first and also try to share the service ( QPST ) Rom if you have it so more people can use it, THANK YOU.

Hahaha,if so why, don't you post a link here, on mega or something, instead of all this " mail me" crap??? That would be a honest thing too do, instead....
And no, it's not common too sort in who and which, you want to help out, at least not here on XDA, we help every body, with no exceptions.
I say again, give us this file freely or I report you too forum admins.
My x9076 is bricked because of me making a lvm error, but I'd rather have it semi Working, with messed up partitions, like now, than pay our beg some guy like you for something that not working any way.
Last chance give this freely or get locked out from xda
EDIT: believe me, this turk psyko, has NOTHING not known already, regarding unbricking devices, there´s hundreds of posts here and on oppo forum about people having storage issues etc, not one ever mentioned anything about any other tools than those oppo them selves gave us, there is NO other working ways not known as this cracy dude claims, he´s just running a scam and wants 20$ for nothing - OS_MAN is a fraud dude all over.
EDIT 2: Silence from sir os_man tells the truth....

When asking for help in a free space and for free, sometimes some manners can really make a huge difference. I think you fail to understand that even though you have a problem and someone might have a solution, that someone has no obligation whatsoever to share their time and the fruit of their research with you, especially so when threatened.
Hmm, considering the files and how-to's for unbricking a Find7 are freely available from Oppo forums (and here, I believe), I'm pretty suspicious of anyone doing ANYTHING other than giving them away freely. The files I downloaded and have used, a few times now, were free and had no passwords on zip/rar archives.
As for 'fruits of research', this guy wasn't the guy who put up the how-to's or did the initial research on it so, in my books, he doesn't get the credit, be it kudos OR cash money.
Some folks seem to literally want something for nothing. No harm in asking for donations, sure, but don't be at all surprised if I tell you to go f*** yourself. That's not how this game works, we all stand on each other's shoulders.
This is my first post, so please forgive any mistakes I make with a post.
My wife's Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet was being stupid, it would refuse to properly use the internet from our Asus router, would connect but apps would insist there was no connection. Was getting tired of that crap so I decided to install a custom ROM, since samsung can be kind of jackasses abandoning most their devices after one major update, was only running Kitkat for crying out loud. I had done so before, but issues arouse. For one, I had great difficulty finding a proper TWRP for some stupid reason, NO ONE seamed to know where to get a well working version. I found one, but it messed everything up, it seems to work just fine but any ROM I install has massive issues with the Google apps, they crash eternally and continuously so I can do literally nothing, can't even get past first setup. I came across talk that it was old TWRP to blame, that it has issues with newer OS's like the lollipop I was trying to install, and FINALLY managed to find a newer version of TWRP, but freaking Odin keeps hanging on it's install, gets to "Nand write start" then stops doing anything. I have tried different cables as well as different computers, does jack crap so far to help. My backup I made in TWRP doesn't even work, when I restore the result is nothing but a boot loop. I am trying to find a stock os to restore it to (mostly) original condition, but it is absurdly difficult for some stupid reason to find, found one all in one exe that didn't work for a damn. I was hoping there might even be a way to install the newer TWRP from with TWRP itself. Can anyone help me with any part of this?
First things first. Calm down.
Do you have Samsung Smart Switch installed on your pc? If not, do so.
Connect your note 8.0 to your pc, select the 'more' button and then Emergency software recovery and initialization. Let that run is course. It can take a while.
See if that helps.

Sorry, but you are going to have to be a little more specific. I installed Switch, but connecting an off device obviously does nothing, should I install and let it boot into a broken ROM again, where gapps crashes, and connect it then?
If your main isues are with GApps try clearing the cache in the play store app, check the date and time on your device.
I literally just got my Note 8 up and running after suffering these same issues you describe. My thread on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8-0/help/note-8-0-stuck-screen-t3218608
I'll try my best to help you. I received some good advice and I 'd like to help someone as a show of appreciation.
We'll get this straight!
Thanks, pretty much.

None of what you said really made sense, I could not get to ANYTHING AT ALL that was not Odin or TWRP. But that link you had gave me the name for the stock os, I searched that and flashed it and now everything is great. So thanks, sort of. You even mentioned that method not working for you I think in that thread, but it did for me, so yeah.
All good then.
Didn't know where to post this exactly, to be honest. This will be a long post
I was flashing AOSP roms in the phone. Tried to go back to One UI for the VoLTE thing
In one of the AOSP roms I couldn't install it in Lineage Recovery (older version of the rom thing). I saw i one post that doing an ADB Sideload in TWRP could solve the flashing problem. Did that. No issues
Wanted to test another AOSP rom but didn't boot (bootloop), so then I tried to go back to One UI. Don't remember if I did a format data in that moment.
After installing the rom and reboot to system, the phone doesn't even show the splash screen.
But tried to go to download mode and it went there, so the phone is still alive
Tried also going to recovery and it boots there (just to recovery and download mode)
I tried everything I could:
Flashed another custom ROM without success
Flashed other AOSP roms again
Changed the recovery (Lineage, TWRP and Stock tested)
Flashed the stock firmware through Odin several times
Tried to do a re-partition in Odin
Did several factory resets
Nothing seems to work. The weird thing is that, with any rom that I try to install, it tells that is installed, but when I go to the file manager in TWRP, it doesn't install anything. The free space before the installation is the same as after it. I don't know what else I can do. I just have the hope because the phone starts in BL and recovery
Anyone have any idea of what can I do to solve this? Or if there is a way to install the OS outside Odin or recovery (or ADB)
Tried with fastboot (Lineage Recovery) with several commands, and I think I found the issue. The system partition got corrupted. Need to know how to repair it (tried already with the repair option in TWRP)
Any help with this?

Didn't work out. Same issue
It's so stressful because it boots to the other things, but not to the system
Good afternoon faithful and unfaithful
Unfaithful Redspikejr
The barbarian from Pakonan has no idea about this but in your case he would do the following since I have had your problems and it was resolved positively.
I'm going to try to help you, I don't know English and I use a translator, I hope it's good to understand each other. Luck
First option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES restart in twrp again and try to install PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and try to install it in TWRP.
If you manage to install it, then install magisk apk and restart the system.
3 once started install magisk apk and ready.
Second option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES reboot in twrp again and install the Recovery lineage.img and reboot in Recovery lineage and Factory reset & reset system partitions
3 Install the PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and install from there. turn off the phone and
4 in download mode odin AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot reboot into TWRP
5 Install Magisk apk and reboot system.
once started install magisk apk and ready.
remember to have the cable plugged in to enter TWRP and download while you are following the steps. Good luck, you will say.
Salu2 of your most faithful infidel Pako
To update the situation
The battery of the phone in inflated like a balloon. I don't know for sure if that was caused by something physical, but will update when have some news
i still have the same problem and still hunger for a solution because i just bought it .. Been running quite a few firmwares now. and bootloaders and kernels and recoverys so far... but whats funny is in pixel recovery it said i had a "d2x" model which is SM-N976 model with 5G... But every elsewhere it says d2s which is note10+. Odin also says SM-N975F model... But anyways... I really really hope someone finds a solution. Because im stuck as hell...
I also made a thread my self
Partly bricked... SM-N975F
Hey guys.. Ive been a visitor in XDA forums for quite a while... And i been running root and custom FW with more or less every samsung from S2 and up... But i just got my self a note10+ (atleast thats what ive been told) and i wanted to root it...
forum.xda-developers.com
And i think its VBMETA problem. BUT i dont have any experience on that term...
Crossing fingers still...
I might have found a solution
Holy Hell, Im am so glad im not the only one that this is happened to. I will be more happy when we find a solution. I have put myself (device) in some questionable states but this has been a first and strange one for me . Its like being so close to booting into system then nothing.

Android Verified Boot 2.0
I found this link this morning. Im sure this is the culprit.
I experienced today something like you. It did not let me flash even stock firmware. But I succeeded to get out. I flased via ODIN BL slot from Dr.Ketan and in AP slot TWRP and nothing else. And I managed to enter the TWRP recovery and from there I restored previous backup.
I will try to do a multipost due to more threads and problems which are the same...
But this is the solution...
In my folder on the picture you will see 2 files i marked with green color...
Use the file and burn it according to your current setup. Odin or custom recovery.
And the problem will be solved. Used 14 days and countless of hours to get out of this boot loop!
So im finally happy to see the boot up screen without pressing into download mode or recovery mode...
The folder on the picture is to be found on this forum... Just cant remember from which thread exackly

Bless you. My poor phone was down since 6-20. I was just kicking myself in the ass the other day saying if I got my phone to boot again i would never flash **** it on it ever again... @Titanity thank you so much for making me look like a liar. Now lets see what else we can do lol.
So you got it to work? And whats up next?

Yes it did. I have gotten myself in some pretty bleak spots in the past and have been able to resolve all my issues on my own research, troubleshooting, trial and error etc. but I had never had a device that was actually able to power on, flash twrp, stockfirmware pass in odin, tried all type of pit file patches, adb and fastboot commands and still not be able to get into OS completely stumped me and I had exhausted so much time on it that i came to the conclusion that one of the talented members of XDA would for sure come up with a solution and I was right.
Sorry for the blabber, Ive been just a watcher of this site for many years and have never had to engage so my apologies for my forum etiquette.
I main focus now is to find a good rom to run with nethunter. I was running Dr. ketan Rom with nethunter while installing every LSposed Module that sounded cool and was beyond impressed by how stable my device still performed (one of my largest TWRP backups was 49Gb btw.) So yea, look for something with a strong kernal, light rom to see what I like. I have yet to try the new roms out due to unfamiliar processes of installing outside of Odin. Its been a while since I had some free time tinker in this space again.
Yea im just a watcher my self... it took me a few days until i decided to make this solution. Because i do think it was a important solution i found. But yes im just a watcher my self...
Now im stuck again though because i have a faulty usb-c, so its claming theres water inthe entrance which there isnt. And i been looking all over the forums for a solution like 3 times now. And people are just trying to trick the fault or acturally have a solution... But thats only IF they have water inside and the stupid alarm goes off...
Instead i need a solution to disable it now that its rooted. So need to know exackly what to look for and theres no help to get here. So kinda stuck... Irritating because i just wanna use it for dex... And not dex wiesless because its lagging on the mouse and what not... So my adapter need the recharge entrance and ... doh! Long journey so far... And its far from ended...
But im very happy it worked out for you... Keep in touch if you need another silly question. Then i might have silly questions for you aswell Good day my friend
@Titanity Bless your heart, I need your help . I broke my friends phone which is a note 10 plus, and all that you guys mentioned about trying everything I did as well.. I read your solution but I dont know where to find the files you marked and how to go about them exactly... the phone is currently on stock recovery and is stuck there.
Okay do you have a option to use a mic and the software discord? i do belive its easier for both of us if we can do this with direct communication. If you dont want to use / have a mic. Then its also fine. Discord got a chat aswell so dont be shy I have my own discord which is:
Join the thetitanity @ twitch.tv Discord Server!
Check out the thetitanity @ twitch.tv community on Discord - hang outwith 17 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
discord.gg
Ill pop op now and then, but im not a streamer anymore on twitch. So dont be mistaken by the server info...
Look forward to see you on there. And ill make sure to have the files ready for you
Until then haha
EDIT: I just uploaded a package filled with "i help you in case of emergency" files. Make sure to download it before entering discord. Get it at...
https://easyupload.io/xwlk0w - and the PW is: titanity (30 days avalible)
Also have info ready like: is the model a 975F or? what firmware is on it at the moment. Is the bootloader unlocked. But also things like do you ever used TWRP before and know how to use it etc?
Its a package filled with files of my choice, but made by people from the forum. So no credit goes to me but them...
Have in mind that all the time i been on the forum i always just read the forum and downloaded when needed, so its the first time im trying to help others... But im optimistic!

@Titanity bro that's so generous of you, alright.. downloading and will join discord then , Thanks dude
Hello everyone. I am stuck in a bit of a draining situation. and I really hope that some of you, may be able to help.
I have 3 kids with each their phone, all of them have been registered to Googles Family Link service. Recently the account that managed them all got suspended for being hijacked and therefor it broke their terms, and now 4 accounts are locked. Google will not help me, to release the accounts the kids have, so they can use their phones again. So I tried following a guide on bypassing the log in prompt after a factory reset on this specific device. It happily activated the tap talk function, but when I try to open Google Assistant, nothing happens. I've tried looking it the settings of Tap Talk to find any clues, but to no avail.
I have searched for different variations of the same procedure on Youtube and Google and I can't seem to get further than described..
I then decided to try unlocking the bootloader or re-flashing the stock firmware, hoping to wipe the existing system completely. The re-flashing part, well. I found the Asus Zenfone Flash tool, but I am not too sure what to do. The guide seemed a bit confusing to me, so I tried the Bootloader, since I used to flash and root all my phones back when HTC was big. I have installed Quallcomms drivers, Asus-android_USB drivers, generic Android Usb drivers and restarted the pc to make sure that was done right.
The phone however is another problem. I haven't been able to enable usb-debugging thanks to Family Link preventing access to Dev-mode, before I did the Factory reset. I can read the phone's name on the ADB update option, when I boot it to stock recovery. But any commands, makes it hang with "waiting for any device", which, from what I understand, is a driver related issue. So I have updated the drivers as each guide has descibed.
My plan was to install the latest Lineage Rom, so I have the most recent files for that.
So now I ask you. I have downloaded Rom files, Gapps, 2 types of recovery img files, but for now, I am stuck and sad and I need a Yoda in this matter. The entire situation is probably solved with a simple click or command that I am not aware of.
If you need any further info I will do my best to help. My kindest and biggest thanks to anyone that provide some help.
Kind regards
Johnny
