[Q] May have possibly screwed up Blu Studio 5.5. topic

So I bought a Blu Studio 5.5 unlocked from boost earlier today and decided to mess around with it. I rooted and installed a clockwork recovery made for the device. I then flashed a supposedly ported version of MIUI for it too (stupid idea). The next boot did nothing but get stuck at the BLU logo. I've tried flashing two different stock roms to no avail. Now it is just stuck in a bootloop. I also seem to have lost root and cannot reboot the phone unless I removed the battery. I get the " Root access is missing. Root device. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE" And then no and another option that is cut off and I can't even select the 2nd option. I stupidly don't have a backup image to restore with.

Is there anything I can do or have missed to potentially fix my stupid mistakes?

Note 2 possibly soft bricked? Help or suggestions Please topic

Yesterday while listening to google play music my Samsung Galaxy note 2 crashed.
Sidenote.....My T889 was rooted ....Had TWRP 2.6.3.1 using Jedi Master X2
After it crashed I tried to reboot my T889 it would not get past the "Samsung GALAXY Note II" boot/Splashscreen .....so I pulled battery and went into TWRP well thats when things got weird.... I got a screen asking for my password well I never set up a password nor did I ever play around in TWRP so i hit cancel and then it showed the standard tabs . I clicked on install but shows folder names but no files and directly under Select Zip to install it says Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB) I then went to my external SD to reinstall Jedi X2 but it would not show any thing on my external SD so I went back out and tried reboot into bootloader, that showed the standard screen vol up to continue, then the Downloading Do not turn off target!! I then went to Odin and tried redownloading TWRP in fact tried several different versions even the latest 2.8.1.0 but when Odin went to write it would start then FAIL . I then tried getting the ALL original firmware (T889 UVALJ1, T889UVALK8, T889UVALL4, T889UVBMB4, T889UVBMD1, T889UVUCMK7) same thing happened in Odin, it would start but then fail. Im now trying android studio but am kind of lost and feeling overwhelmed. If anyone can offer suggestions,thoughts or help it would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] ATT s4 possibly bricked? HELP! topic

Need help, going to try and give as much detail as possible so sorry for the long post. I dropped my phone a few weeks ago and the LCD broke so got a refurb warrenty replacement phone. Att S4 - got it 12/24 and rooted using towelroot on NJ4. Everything was fine until sunday or monday when I realized my Beautiful Widget weather was still stuck in NJ where i had been a few days ago and the last time I'd turned locations on, thinking location was still just GPS like it used to be. read up on all the location info of power saver vs full accuracy, and decided I would just set my widget to my home zip code. Within 24 hours i started experiencing random reboots of the phone, with the occasional boot loop. tried turning the location settings back off and that helped for about a day before starting having reboot / power off issues again.

So last night I decided I would give up and try and do a factory reset. First i wiped the cache from stock recovery. Then the phone wouldn't boot past the att screen at best. So I went back into stock recovery and did a full reset. at this point the phone will no longer get past the Custom Samsung boot animation. I tried using the one-click unbrick tool, but my phone wasn't coming up as a USB option and I haven't been able to find any additional trouble shooting to get that to work.

So next I decided to Odin the stock unrooted firmware, which i believe was NB1. Now i can't get the phone into recovery at all. It is hit or miss if the phone will even get to the custom boot animation, but immediately shuts down from there. I can still get into download mode at times. Wondering if there may be a hardware issue either my battery (which was from my original phone) or the power button on the refurb because there were points last night when i would have to hit/hold the power button 5 or 6 times before the phone would do anything, regardless of what other buttons i was or wasn't holding down. that seemed to improve once the phone cooled down for a while.

I really have no idea what else to do. Based on everything i've read the phone should be working at this point or should be totally bricked. any guidance is greatly appreciated. I would try and just warranty it again and claim they sent a bad phone but of course it boots just enough to show the custom animation, even after i odin'd on stock. HELP!!!
