So I had root working with SU. I updated to the latest SU using flashfire. It flashed and rebooted the phone, now I'm bricked.

I get "security error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked"

I can't get into Recovery or download.

I'm assuming I'm f*cked?

You weren't supposed to update SuperSu it was specifically stated in the original tutorials that updating would cause issues...
Also explain how you aren't able to access the recovery or download mode...
Is the screen black?
Does your computer recognize it when it's plugged in?

Yeah, I got it now.

FYI - extracting the superu.apk doesn't update it. You have to re-run the root.bat that comes with the .zip.

Also, I had to re-flash the stock firmware.

That was scary.

Thanks,

Glad you got it but what I meant was to extract the APK from the zip file transfer it to your phone and then install the APK file regular. either way I'm glad you got it fixed
