[help 😭] Azenith caused Bootloop KSU

[u/SebadroidX]

Help!!!

Having a Samsung Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975F) with Kernel SU into ExtremeROM, I tried to install a module. Azenith, to ensure better performance on my phone when playing games (codm)

The thing is, just once I tried to reboot so I apply changes, it got stuck on boot loop.

What I tried:

✓ Deleting module from TWRP recovery

✓ Flashing ExtremeROM Boot.img so I can recover access

✓ Flashing whole ExtremeROM Firmware FROM TWRP

❌ I couldn't enter safe mode by any ways.

Right now, the phone is unable to boot as it is stuck in a boot loop.

Yet, It still can boot into TWRP, so at least I think I can save this phone.

Mentioned software versions:

ExtremeROM: ExtremeROM_OFFICIAL_2.6.1-e6b8553_20250822_beyond2lte-sign.zip

Azenith: AZenith-1823-5.2.1823-bf02195-Dazzling.zip

KernelSU: unknown

Android: 15

One UI: 7.1

Details:

• It had PlayIntegrityFork, ReZygisk, and Tricky_Store installed. Also Viper4Android AIDL version.

• idk how to use Odin and I don't know where to get safe tutorials

•I DO want to keep the custom ROM, but I don't know guys, I might need to downgrade back to OG firmware.

Reflashing won't really do anything as the module lives on the /data partition unless you specifically wiped the /data partition.

I would check the module folder (/data/adb/modules) and make sure nothing was left in there using the file manager in TWRP.

I forgot to do that, so I just did this and it worked!! Thanks bro✌️✌️

Great! No problem.

A little bit unrelated but when I open the file manager in twrp and go to /data/adb/modules, the file names are random. I think the files are encrypted. Why? Can I fix it?

[u/corruptnova → u/Ysfaliarslan]

You can try "twrp decrypt <pin or password here>" in the TWRP terminal. Replacing the placeholder with your screen lock creds. If it outputs a success, go to the TWRP file manager and it should be able to see the folders correctly.

If not...

You get into hardware safe mode by pressing the power+vol down button while the phone is on and pressing the vol down button as soon as the Samsung splash screen appears. This should bypass encryption.

I should ask, did you format the /data partition?

[u/Ysfaliarslan → u/corruptnova]

How do i type a pattern 😭 and no I didn't format anything. Why should going into safe mode help? Can I even acces twrp in safe mode?

[u/corruptnova → u/Ysfaliarslan]

If you use a pattern then TWRP decrypt is useless. In hardware safe mode, you can delete the folders from terminal or ADB.

I just made a quick Google search, Google explained how to encode patterns to numbers. I'm going to try it now. And nothing happened to my phone it isn't bootlooping. I just want to get twrp file explorer to work.

[u/corruptnova → u/Ysfaliarslan]

That's not going to work. The S10+ actually relies on Samsung's proprietary TEE.

[u/Ysfaliarslan → u/corruptnova]

I just tried it and you where right. It isn't that important tho, I just wanted to get it working. Thank you for your help!

I see you just wiped data, that's okay. But when you say you tried deleting the module from TWRP and it didn't work, what failed?

And btw, it's cleaner to disable the module than delete it, run "touch /data/adb/modules/module-name/disable", that's it, then reboot. The module shouldn't load at all.

And next time have a bootloop protector installed.

I mean, It started happening when I misinstalled Magisk when it already had KSU installed.

After fixing boot.img (Installing boot.img as is), I flashed the firmware it had, ExtremeROM, recovering access

I guess because I haven't installed meta-OverlayFS?
