Hey, after I have tried to install gcam with root I wanted to unroot my phone. I just selected unroot device, it told me, that it is gonna restart. It did, but Right now my phone gets into Unlocked bootloader warning, android one screen and then No Command. And I really do not know what to do about it. I was able to get into this recovery mode. I was trying to flash android by ADB but it always crash at something around 40-45%.
ADB also told me, that TWRP was flashed succesfully, but I cant get in here. I really dont know what am I doing. So please, if you are about to tell me what to do, could you link some tutorial to it or just write it properly? I wont know how to do most of the things. Thanks to everyone

Hi guys, thanks for the forum and i hope to become a part of it. I've been under so much stress since yesterday, my galaxy s3 (on EE in the UK) for the first time decided it's data was corrupted yesterday after my battery died, never done this or anything like it before, and it wouldn't let me access the phone itself unless the data was reset.
I had a lot of very precious pictures in my gallery from the weekend, which unfortunately chose not to backup to google+ for the last few days, even though it always has up until recently. All night/day i've been trying to figure out and get software to recover these photos, which i think is possible as i did it a long time ago on a blackberry, but not android yet. I'm just hoping it can be done so the photos aren't forever lost, the other stuff gone doesn't bother me so much.
The guide i'm following (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705) says it needs to be rooted first, and i can't even get past step 1. I've only ever rooted my old galaxy S1 (which worked back then) but i can't seem to get the S3 to do it. And now my phone also believes there's no sim card in and i get no signal now.
this is the guide i followed: http://www.ibtimes.com/how-root-sam...-jelly-bean-official-firmware-tutorial-975812
though i think i need a newer PDA file to flash my i9305 with. I'm on the EE network running 4.3 jelly. It installed Super SU but root checker says it still isn't rooted.
So have i messed this up? And is there any hope for me getting these pictures back?
Thanks in advance for any help, it's much appreciated.
if you are running on 4.3 then you are not following the right guide to root...
use THIS ONE instead... if it fails to root use the workaround part, i used it and worked....used the workaround to install custom recovery and then flashed chainfire zip from his website and updated SU and worked.
are you still able to boot the phone?
Thanks for the response, tried that guide and still getting no signal on my phone (no mobile connection at all, sim card isn't recognised as being there) and i don't think it's rooted right. Still saying SuperSU has stopped working when i try to open it.
I put the Root_SuperSU.1.02-Busybox.1.21.0.zip on the internal SD and tried that too.
Which is the chainfire zip you're talking about, could you possibly link it? I don't really get what you mean by custom recovery, do you mean it's the same as flashing the Busybox thing from recovery mode?
And yeah it still boots up normally...
use that tutorial to install a custom recovery...then install this SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1 - flash it in custom recovery....after that update app with playstore and should work.
but i suggest you get it to a specialized shop to get your photos back...

It didn't really leave SuperSU on it because it's telling you the binary is not on there and that you need to install it yourself... If this is your first time trying to root the phone I seriously suggest you go search the forums so you don't do something wrong... You should be unlocking your bootloader first and then installing recovery and SuperSU then making a backup in your newly installed recovery and THEN you can install roms/kernels... And you need a computer to do this!!
Hey everyone!
First posting here, long time reader. So, I just f***** up big time. I tried to install the YT Vanced modules for my X4, realized I had to get rid of the stock YT app first, installed Terminal Debloater and at that point my device stuck during boot. To make things infinitely worse, I then proceeded to re-lock the bootloader cycling through the last commands issued. That was dumb, yeah.
Now I get the "device corrupt" message when I try to boot normally and fastboot won't let me flash again saying I need to enable USB debugging, which I can't because the system won't let me boot.
I have a severe feeling I'm screwed with nobody but myself to blame, but I'm also aware of the godlike knowledge in these boards so... can anyone point me in a direction here? Damn I like that phone and have zero funds for a new one right now :/
I can still get into the Power+Down menu, the stock recovery gets me nowhere though. Oh, and it's the Euro Model, Motorola Moto X4 XT1900-05, running the Oreo OTA update.
Cheers people,

You need to flash the original official firmware that came loaded on your device but good luck trying to find a copy of that. With the bootloader locked, you're screwed.
Thanks for answering. Yeah, since I locked the bootloader in my infinite wisdom I think I am screwed for good.
Could Lenovo have some magic tools to re-flash the stock ROM? I mean I know I voided my warranty but I liked that phone and am all out of options at this point. :/
FI stock roms seem to be located at https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X4/Stock/ Have not tried them myself and not sure you can flash with a locked bootloader.
You should be able to flash a stock ROM pretty easily. From what I've seen, you should be able to install any retail stock rom without unlocking the bootloader.

Hold Vol+ and Power buttons. Phone will try to reboot several times and then boot normaly. Go to developer options and tick allow factory unlock and USB debugging. Then you just unlock bootloader as usual.
This procedure helped fix the same issue with my xt1900-7 reteu.
(stock firmware)
1) How do I enter recovery mode? I need to install Xposed and I can't figure out how to boot into this.
2) Why is the advanced reboot disabled? I went through all of the developer options and it's just not there :-O
Root?
You did root your phone?

The XZ's are nothing like any Sony phone before. Sony have given developers the finger with this boot partition, You can't just Root you phone any more. Unlocking your phone destroys a partiton and the DRM keys are gone forever. The good news is that there's a fix that fools the phone into thinking the keys are still present.
Yes it's possible to load recovery and exposed. You need to unlock the phone first, then (retro)flash .75 firmware, as that is the only one that works with Xposed. Then I would use Xperiafix to mount TWRP and Magisk and the drm fix. Once Magisk is installed you can use the Xposed Magisk module.
It's a long complicated road compared to the old phones and having done it, I'd say the advantages are not worh the effort.
Oh ****, what the hell It's the only higher end compact phone out there, so there's no alternative for me.
I already unlocked the bootloader and now my camera is ****ed, and apparently it's impossible to relock it.
Unfortunately I don't understand anything you wrote in your post. I've dealt with Samsung phones until now and that's piss easy.
What does "mount twrp" mean? What is Magisk?
I managed to install TWRP but it asks for a password, so I think something went tits up there.

Read the Xperiafix thread, this will help you find the drivers you need to connect to the phone via ADB. (Hint: Google ADB drivers). Geting the drivers to work with your phone is fiddly because a) Windows10 lies to you when it says it's installed the drivers and b) Windows then chooses the wrong drivers when you plug your phone (running twrp) in.
Buy Xperiafix. Yes there are free versions to be found but getting everything to work is fiddly as f*ck and I'm going to guess you want the easy option.
Install the drivers, follow instuctions on Xperiafix, easy.
Your TWRP is asking for the pin number you set to unlock your phone.
I am super new to rooting I mainly use it for PokemonGo. I am following this video on YouTube.
Basically when I flashed via Odin, I then install Magisk. Then everything is working and rooted BUT when I restart my phone my Magisk is then magically unrooted (I dont know if this is the right term) it says 'Magisk is not installed' and underneath that is says 'Magisk Manager is up to date'
So why does it keep doing this? Everytime this happens I need to Flash again via Odin and do the whole procedure again. This only happens when I restart the phone. Why does it keep doing this and how do I fix this? I will pay someone who can fix this for me. Ive been trying to figure out for the past day and Im going insane. I have no knowledge about rooting etc like i said i just want to play Pokemongo location spoofing.
Appreciate everyones help.
What did that guide say on how to boot up your device? On devices like yours, that matters...
Here's what the official docs/instructions have on that:

You mean from the guide? Yes, as far as I understand that's the combo that you'd need on an s10 (I don't do Samsung). If you look at John's instructions he's covered that prety well.
Are you sure that you are doing the button combo properly? Because if you don't you'll just end up with Magisk not loading during boot and the system will seem to be unrooted.
But, as I wrote above I don't do Samsung so I'm not the best person to give advice about this... You might be better of asking for advice in your devices forum (because there you'll find people who knows the ins and outs):
