That's a side effect of soft bricking. You have no option but to reflash. It's better because then your recovery mode should also be restored.

UPDATE.ZIP

To get UPDATE.ZIP download the OTA update but dont install it.
The update file will be stored in "cache" folder present in root. The fine name need not be necessarily update.zip, you can guess the file by its size.
So now just copy the file to external sd_card. And proceed forward to install the update.

And I recently discovered that some Xposed modules introduce some kind of instability in semi-rooted devices.
We are also semi rooted. So the modules which try to complete their operation using bootloader and other restricted functions misbehave.

Edit:- Digging further inside i found out that for now we should avoid using these modules: XBlast Tools and BootManager. They also slow down our OS

Can we root x1000 using in JB 4.1.2? I tried but nothing happened as mentioned may be I m using JB 4.1.2. Is it necessary to have ICS before rooting. Sorry but I am not technically sound.

No.
You can install cydia impactor on JB too..
Installation will fail if you have installed Bluebox patch for Master ker vulnerablity.

Weird. I couldn't access recovery some time back but that was before we discovered the new flashing tool.. After I used it it works fine now..
Not to sound like a drag, but you're using the SUTL v3 right?

Guys, can't we open a dedicated Device thread? We can put the flash procedure, root procedure and other tricks under it, for new users to use..

I didn't get any errors.. If it's not working I think you should just uninstall and reinstall.. Try it out..

You can't access recovery because the phone's been softbricked.. I've noticed two types of softbricks happening on our phone. One is where, during bootloop, the lower part of the screen gets slightly distorted. The other is pure boot animation loop. The first isn't serious and you can access recovery. It's caused by some file problems like Build.prop etc. The other type is because of the signature mismatch.

You're only option is to reflash. It's better you do it at the head office..

    Hey, I have a small problem.. I used a root app called Soft Keyz and now both my notification bar and soft keys are missing.. I did a little research and realized that it has to do with a borked systemui.apk. So could you please give me your systemui.apk by any chance? I'm kinda screwed here without the soft keys.. Appreciate if you could get back to me soon.. Thanks :)

    Yup sure.
    Im uploading both systemUI.apk and systemUi.odex. You might need to replace both. And remember to correct permissions.

    Thats shocking!! Install this. What does it say?

    Edit: Supersu doesnt work for many phones, dont rely on that! Use Super user. BusyBox works fine on mine. Just check if you haven't set Automatic response=Deny in Super user->settings->security.

    Edit: Busybox screenshot.
