Apologies if this is not the right thread someone made the site more difficult to navigate so a map to point me in the right direction will be appreciated.
So I have tried installing SAFETYNET-FIX-v2.1.1 and it caused a "bootloop?" as I cannot see my home due to it showing the Motorola blue screen over it but I was my use pattern from muscle memory and it now accepts my fingerprint but still can't access anything cuz I can't see.
I used magisk to root my device so it should revert if I can manage to hard reset but if rather find a way to get passed this problem.

First of all let me say THANKS to all of the dedicated folks on this website that I have found to be most useful while looking for help.
My problem may have been discussed previously, but after doing much browsing I must not be using the right keywords to find a resolution.
I am having issues with a SGH-i747 running stock 4.3 that I just purchased, so I have no clue what may have been done to it in the past.
So as the title says - The green android while booting into recovery mode just falls over with red triangle, and underneath it flashes - No command - Error - No command.
Also if I do try to flash anything - I get several RED errors in a row basically saying - E: No data folder found and a few other things before it quickly reboots and I can't see what the other errors are.
Would appreciate any ideas you folks may have - Thanks.
TWRP had an Odin flashable .tar. If you need recovery you should be able to just use that or terminal command to install.
Odin Fails Too

This is how I discovered the android falling over issue.
While attempting to install clockworkmod.tar through Odin which will PASS
But then when entering recovery mode I get the stock recovery with green android falling over & data errors.
I have performed this same procedure on my other phone which is identical make and model but starting off with stock 4.1.2 without any issues.
I have also tried flashing philz_touch_6.0.7.9-d2att.tar.md5, but that creates a whole new set for errors & fails.

Push it in Terminal Emulator app. Instructions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170635&highlight=recovery+terminal. This forces it top the memory block, so should work. I'm asuming the phone boots and you are rooted.

Boots up just fine & Unlocked, but is not rooted yet - This is why I tried getting clockworkmod.TAR & CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7 (1).zip flashed.
But my main concern is getting the android falling over issue fixed at the moment, and I think the rest will resolve itself once that's accomplished.
I realize I am no rocket scientist with android phones (Galaxy S3), or I wouldn't be looking through these help forums, and asking for advice.
But it seems to me it's like fixing your car - You need to figure out the root cause of the issue rather than putting band aid patches on it.
Seems like the operating system has other issues to deal with other than obtaining root access at the moment, or it wouldn't keep giving me errors stating that it can't access the DATA files.
Maybe my way of thinking is way off base? Thanks for all your input anyways & I will click the THANKS button if it lets me.

I understand exactly what you mean, but root access can be a key to you here. Your recovery is broken or at least something in a system file is harming what recovery is trying to do. Problem is these are not accessible without root. Root is not the band aid, it's the scalpel Try fixing that car without wrenches. The problem with recovery is that it is protected. You could flash a new stock one as part of an official firmware, but if you are stock 4.3 you are going to run into bootloader issues (nevermind the fact that Samsung hasn't released one. This leaves your other fix as replacing your recovery and requires access to the root system files.

Either you or someone else have already installed a custom recovery. Without root access recovery will fail, the android will fall and you will see red. Use this to root and fix your phone...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963790
Good point on having no wrenches to fix the car --- I will head your advise, and move forward with getting it rooted.

You nailed it on the head - I'll be sure to also hit the Thanks tab for chainfire also since he deserves credit also.
CF Auto Root did the trick and the poor little green android no longer falls over.
Moderators can mark this thread as resolved & Thanks again for all your help.
I've been looking around this website and trying to fix my soft bricked at&t galaxy sgh i747(failed root) but there are multiple methods and it's extremely confusing. I've even lost all my data from a factory reset. I've tried to follow these instructions the most because no sd card is required (which I don't have) and it's the simplest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I downloaded the second cwm link but I can't seem to get it into into odin because none of the extensions are being recognized. I've been trying different methods for about 3 days now and nothing has worked. It took me hours just to get odin to recognize my sIII. Is this even the correct method to follow?
I just wanted to debloat all the crap those corporate parasites forced onto my device but it's not worth the headache. Please point me to the correct thread or whatever so this torture can end and i can be on my way. thank you so much.
BACKGROUND:
I don't have an SD CARD and the android version was 4.4.2 before the brick. i tried using kingo root which rooted the verizon version on my at&t phone and then I uninstalled some bloatware with an app and when I closed the app, the top bar started to flicker and then it closed. I have not found any posts with my situation and I'm beginning to think I'm SOL. Posts have told me that my phone cannot be downgraded because you can't use a lower android version and other posts say you need an SD card. I'm able to get to the download mode and factory reset page.
The phone even boots onto the home screen for the wizard guide, but when it gets to google services it says the wizard has stopped. I'm able to mess around with a few things like the settings/camera but there are no apps.
Will someone tell me if there is any hope. There are so many tutorials out there, but I have yet to find a clear one for my situation.

Properly the reason you bricked it was that you flashed something from this forum which is the international i9300 and any file here will not agree with your phone. You need to report your post and get it moved to the at&t forum where they might be able to help you.
I've got a problem with my lg k10 - It's number protected and I can't remember the combination. I can't make a backup, because my usb is in loading only mode, I can't access it remotely because USB debugging is off. I really don't want to hard reset it, because i've got some private and important things there. I can't really do anything about rooting etc. (I don't know anything as well). Just for mentioning sake, I've tried ADM, but it didn't work (like it's anything new :/) is there any way to bypass it somehow without hard resetting it?
EDIT: I'm sorry if it's not the place for such newbie things, I lost all my hope and I don't know what to do
EDIT2: It was repaired after screen crash and I don't really remember putting the code combination in place of contemporary screen lock.

Dear mods, this thread can be closed now
Hi,
So I have a rather unheard of problem. I was given a phone from a friend before they moved out of state and have no way of contacting them anymore. I turned it on and it had a pass code so i just figured i would do a factory reset ( or what i assumed to be a factory reset) using the buttons on the phone. I used the recovery menu to get to the screen that gave me the options to wipe data, or install update from apk, or factory reset the phone so i used the volume buttons and clicked reset. I let the phone do its thing and when it turned back on it goes to the google factory reset protection page saying i need to login using a google account that was previously used on the phone before the reset. FML! i used the talk back option to be able to access the settings menu and figured i would just do the reset from the settings menu. This is were all of my problems begin!! I can access the settings menu and get to the back up & reset and then click the the Factory reset option. However, the factory reset screen has a button at the bottom of the screen that says Reset Phone and when I click the Reset phone button, absolutely nothing happens. (It makes a click sound but it doesn't do anything at all)
The Other Problem!!: For some unknown reason i cant seem to access the developer options and enable USB debugging. even after i put the phone in safe mode i still could not get the developer options to appear. I have no clue what i am doing wrong but i feel like i am running into a brick wall and not matter what i click or press the phone just will not do what it is suppose to do! I tried every way I can think of to enable USB debugging but, no matter how many times I try to click Build Number or Build Version ( whatever it is exactly called, hopefully you can understand what I mean) nothing happens! I have tried to install a USB debugging app from a qr code but it won't read the qr code from the camera app. I was able to access the camera app using the same talk back trick that i used to get into the settings. I keep telling myself if only i knew about the talk back trick to get into the settings menu before i stupidly reset the phone when i first saw the pass code. So I am hoping that a google FRP Bypass program will work and help me make the phone usable again!! Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?? I am open to all ideas.
So far i have come up with a few ideas but idk if any of them are even possible to accomplish! Can someone help me out and tell me if any of the following options are even possible and whether or not it will be helpful and make the phone usable so i can have a cell phone again. Please, Please can someone help me!! Ideas:
1.) Use a Google Factory Reset Protection Unlocking program.
2.)Somehow completely delete the entire phone and reinstall the marshmallow android OS, like when you would do a fresh clean install of windows on a PC, (IDK if this is even possible but i am assuming it should be)
3.) Rooting the phone and finding a new custom ROM. ( I haven't even done anything like or close to rooting a phone, but im guessing it cant be that hard, right? Google and YouTube have vast amounts of tutorials........, hopefully,....right?
4.) I have backups of my older phones that i am wondering if it would be possible to use one of the backups i have saved and somehow putting it on the phone as a way to get pasted the FRP lock? I haven't a clue if the backups are only usable to the specific phones that created them or if they can be used on any phone?
5.) Downgrade the Android version to a older version that doesn't have the FRP lock, then once i have access into the phone i can just upgrade the phone after i logging into my google account.
6.) You know how Windows PC have the restore option in the settings so you can go back to a previously made restore point? Like turning back the clock so to speak, Is this option available or does it even exist at all on Android? I was thinking if it does i can just simply store the phone back to before i stupidly reset it and then use the trick to bypass the screen lock code and use the settings to do a hard reset ( I really don't think this option even exists or is possible but im literally at the point of willing to try and do absolutely anything to be able to have a phone again! Please and thanks! It is a ZTE Z837VL and it is Android marshmallow, Android Version 6.0.1 (I'm not sure if the
Android version matters or not?)
Thanks. Also If this is the wrong place for this post then please just let me know where the correct spot is to post and i will quickly fix it!! I am new to the site and I have read alot of posts and truthfully, feel like i have overwhelmed myself with trying to make sure i do things the way its supposed to be done. I know many most likely ALL of the members on this site are advanced and way more knowledgeable about the mobile phone information. I do know alot of computers and I have alot of programming experience but i have only focused on PCs and am just starting to learn what i can about mobile development.
Thanks again for helping me and sharing whatever you can with me to help solve things. I am really hoping not to end up with a paperweight haha!!

Problems after installing XPOSED
I believe it is because of XPOSED, because it was after its installation.
It plays me playstore, it must have been temporary error or go to know why
Basically, I can't start with root. Nor, pressing volume up and power.
Yes, I try to start with root, the samsung letters are always fixed and the phone does nothing (I waited until 15 min.)
I put tp you, the messaget that i was put in Magisk post, another night¡
Hello, good to everyone
I'm Sergio from Zaragoza, happy to talk with you!
Although, rather, it is asking for some help or a tutorial to see if I can avoid having to wait and restart the entire root process, although I don't think I can help it
My current situation is as follows; my computer died 2 weeks ago and until Friday the new one does not arrive because it was much better to wait for black friday, so now I only have my Android device, which is a Samsung A50 - FN
During these weeks, I survived thanks to him but now I have one more problem! Haha!
I am not a programmer, at the moment and pulling high I am an amateur, so my lack of knowledge is high. However, at the end of October and thanks to a forum partner who explained how the S A50-FN could be rooted, I got the root, sorry but I put the referral of the partner in question as I navigate in this wonderful forum without the app and with the mobile browser is very difficult, since I use an instant translator to understand you well and the truth is very frustrating to navigate (very, very slow) to that you add that due to the problem I write to you (I think that's why, more than anything to find an explanation) I can not install applications, but that is what I think least should matter right now!
Forgive the long text, I just want to explain my best in my current curious circumstances xD¡¡
Basically, before installing two modules of Xposed with all my joy and completely ignorant! Or rather, I could not imagine, that I could leave the phone on the screen of the letters of Samsung! Suddenly my cell phone was not going! I had no means of contacting human haha or anything at all.
So, try with very little hope (I did not remember exactly how it was done) enter the recovery mode and from there, try to find a solution!
Fortunately, on the second attempt I managed to restart the phone and it started! Since if I turned it off, it automatically restarted and stopped working, again the letters of SAMNSUNG, but when I restarted it started and I could use the phone!
Of course, at the cost of right now I have no root and I can not for example install Apps or God knows how many more things will fail on the device!
I could read something and I think if I had TWRP I could uninstall Magisk by flashing the Magisk uninstaller or God knows, if only the two modules at best!
But I don't have TWRP or any custom recovery since I did it with Magisk and ODIN and I didn't need it .....
So, do you think I can do something to fix it or will I be forced to have a computer and do a hard reset and have to do the process again?
Thank you very much for all your unstoppable work! Hopefully you can help me!
