My main phone, the one that I make all my designs on, was sadly bricked the other day. If anyone wants to know how this happened, I will tell you on request, I don't include these things in my main posts because Im sure none of you want to spend 5 minutes reading a detailed pageful of how x y and z happened. Long story short: Xposed Framework, sirenware, they lure you in with temptation, and before you know it, you're gone.
Anyway I'm working feverishly to try and restore my phone's stock ROM and kernel and if all goes well I should be back online by Monday 11 14 16. I found one way that I'm pretty sure will work but takes hours. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix a bricked phone, I'm all ears.
@COREdevelopment ... that was long
@MechWARRIOR57 @Pacman126 my main phone is a TCL 5054N that had the stock ROM with root access. My backup phone is a ZTE Z813, also stock. The CPU of my backup phone topped out at 1209mhz while my primary only topped put at 1094mhz. Naturally I had a wtf moment when I found that out because the primary has more than double the memory of the the backup. I couldn't overclock my main phone's CPU because the kernel didn't support it, so I went online looking for a custom ROM that did. I decided CyanogenMod was my best bet, problem was my phone wasn't in the extensive list of supported devices. After some searching for alternate solutions I came across an already infamous mod called Xposed Framework, it promised the ability to add features to the phone through something called Modules. I did see the negative comments and complaints about users getting their phones bricked, but I didn't think much of them because they were almost a year old. After flashing the mod and restarting my phone, I noticed something was seriously wrong. It took ages to start, the screen would freeze periodically, none of the big apps like Facebook and play store weren't starting properly, the CPU was maxed out all the time and it only got worse the longer I had it running. For some reason, instead of cutting my losses and wiping the phone, I scrambled to try and uninstall the mod, which I eventually did, but the previously mentioned problems were still there-----static-----and when I tried rebooting from recovery, I got sent back to tecovery. I then concluded that my phone had lost its operating system.
