So my father decided to update is Galaxy S8 with substratum enabled and now we get SystemUI FC every time and can't use the phone.
No rooted, no custom recovery, no nothing. Is there any way of removing the overlays without wiping data?
I've tried safe mode, but the same happens.
Thanks.

Do you know if usb debugging is enabled? Might be possible to fix without erasing data.

[emoji25] sadly I think a full wipe is your only solution. Can the stock recovery run zip files like TWRP can? Not familiar with stock recovery on Samsung myself.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
It can run update.zip but I think they have to be signed...
Tried emergency mode but I can't touch the agreement checkbox
No solution then?
Thanks!

I think it's called Substratumrescue.zip in the root of the phone. There are directions to use it in the help in Substratum. Look it up on your phone. [emoji16]

Yes but I don't think is designed for samsung mode of substratum, also I think stock recovery only accepts signed zips

Welcome. Carbonite backup has a free sms backup app on the play store. It's worked for me a dozen times changing between phones.

Have you tried to boot up in safe mode (Power + Vol. down) to fix the problem?
That worked for me. You just have to uninstall the substratum app and then reboot your phone.

I've got exactly the same problem as mendioned here, but on Moto Z2 Play. I cannot bot in standard and safe mode. But debugging is on. Instaling not signed packages is probably disabled. Is there any solution to fix this without factory reset?

[UPDATE]: Reported to be working with JB4.2.2!
None of the links provided are created or owned by me. These downloads have been developed by other developers.
This guide is only applicable to Galaxy S4 Google Edition with model number GT-I9505G running JB 4.3!
[UPDATE]: Reported to be working with 4.2.2 as well!
Verify the device's model number by navigating to Settings > About Phone.
Make sure:
If running Windows, download the GS4 drivers, here.
Enable USB debugging mode on the phone by navigating to Menu > Settings > Applications > Developer Options.
Make sure that a custom recovery tool such as ClockworkMod (CWM) or TWRP recovery is installed on the phone.
Make sure that the phone has at least 70% charge, so it doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Verify that the device is factory unlocked (not locked to a specific carrier) and its bootloader unlocked. This should be correct, as you are running on a GE rom.
Instructions:
1. Download Chainfire's SuperSU Auto Root tool for Galaxy S4 GT-I9505G on the computer.
2. Connect your Galaxy S4 to computer via USB cable and copy the downloaded files to the root folder of your phone's SD card.
3. Turn off your phone, and disconnect it from your computer.
4. Boot the phone into CWM recovery mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons together.
5. In recovery mode, perform a full data wiping task. To do so, choose wipe data/factory reset and click Yes to confirm the action. Then click wipe cache partition and wait until the process completes.
6. Choose wipe dalvik cache under the advanced option. Wait until the process is finished.
7. Select Install Zip from SD card and then click Choose Zip from SD card. Browse and select the SuperSU root file which you copied earlier to your phone. Then tap Yes to confirm root installation and wait until the install process completes.
8. Reboot system.
Your JB 4.3 GS4 is now rooted!
[UPDATE]: And 4.2.2!

Hi thanks for the reply. After several tries. I was able to find an img and then used Odin to root the phone. Now that I have done that it will stay that was using a few good apps. Chainfire had put up CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar which worked for me.

My screen is not responding in a certain area. This happens to be the area where my pass code numbers are located so i am locked out of my phone!
Any ideas???
Press the power button for 10s and the phone should reboot.

I hope you got a Backup.
You can boot into recovery and delete cache and dalvik.
If this does not help, try a factory reset. If this still does not work you might need to flash the latest image using Fastboot.

Worst case, just flash the factory image. Stay on stock if you don't know why you flashed twrp and a custom kernel.

You have set a lock PIN/PATTERN? Other than that, the only time I've seen that message is when I've changed something in stock. Systemless root won't allow Android Pay for me even after uninstall. It definitely sounds like some file/s got corrupted. After trying a cache wipe, I can only suggest re-installing the OS which requires an unlocked bootloader or doing a factory reset. Both unlock and reset will wipe your device.

As far as I know, you can't unless you already have an unlocked bootloader. There are ways to run back-ups, but I've never used them. Carbon, Easy Backup & Restore, and My Backup Pro have good reviews. Can you set up adb from a computer?

Yes, I'm a developer and can deal with adb if you helped me with any commands to adjust the bootloader without re-installing the system.

Correct. Its like factory resetting but deeper. It wipes the entire phone, all partitions, and reinstalls. Like getting a new HDD and installing windows or linux.

Yes. Or, alternatively, you can do a back up in Smartswitch, wipe it all, then restore however this will not retain apps so best bet for the ones patched is to just keep your data partition the same..
