Hi, i am trying to flash version 2.3 MAD ROM onto my galaxy 5 but im having some trouble. When i download the latest ROM it is saved as 'I5500M_DashBlacK_2.3_ExtremeApp2SD_R3.rar'
If i then extract the files, i end up with :
'system.rfs'
'amss'
'recovery.img'
'boot.img'
'csc.rfs'
apparently i need an 'I5500M_DashBlacK_2.3_ExtremeApp2SD_R3.zip' file
Where am i going wrong? Any help?
Thanks

So I have an unlocked prime with the latest cwm recovery installed and got the latest ota from my aunt's prime but i cannot install it, I added .zip at the end of the file and it gets and error when trying to install it in recovery the original file's name is (dlpkgfile) with no (.)anything, I don't know if it's a blob file or what but when try to extract it with winrar I only get META-INF folder does anyone know what or how to extact this file????
i think there is a good many people who may be in this boat, we need to look into it! i just did something similar with 4.0.4 on my nexus, maybe if you return the phone to stock, but no, because the image we have to work with is an insecure image, we need a truly stock zip to flash, then we can try to do an update, anybody have one?? i dont know how to do all that logcat->zip stuff

If you've used the official unlock tool it's not possible to flash stock ota's.
Thanks
@prettyboy85712 thanks for the info guess i'll just have to wait for the update from ASUS website directly which will be in the next couple of days
You will brick your prime if you unlocked the bootloader and attempt to flash a stock ROM from Asus.
Does anyone have or can get the stock rom of Alcatel OT Flash 6042D? Thanks.

Hi,
I tried uploading back up of rom taken from SP flash tool but file size is huge around 1.6GB. Alternatively CWM back up is small size of 333MB so you can use cwm back up to flash your phone. the link to download rom is as follows: -
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B6hkMCWEBsEPQy03SnBWNlNLUXM
Just extract the folder and store in your sd card. Do not overwrite or rename any file. than flash cwm recovery using sp flash tool. use this guide to flash cwm if you don't how how to do the same:-

Hello. Did you check if the bakup is working? Did you do a recovery from it at least once? I tried to install your backup on a TCL S720 phone which is the same phone (95% sure....) and it didn't work. It said on CWM recovery "Flash failed". I want to mention that the rom files you uploaded should be in the root of the zip file not in a directory. I've archived the file directly in the root and it didn't work. Any idea? Could you upload the whole rom, the 1.6 GB one and paste the link here please? I know many people is looking for it. Thank you.
tcl s720
I restored this nandroid from alcatel ot flash 6042d on to my TCL S720
The restore process went well,no errors,but the rom is not booting it is in a boot loop.
I tried substituting boot.img from tcl s720 but no luck,I even tried patched boot.img,no luck either.
So,I hope someone with mad porting skillz will be able to port this alcatel 6042d rom to tcl s720.
@jhalife
If you can upload the whole backup 1.6gb made with sp flash tool I will be very grateful and many other TCL S720 will be grateful also
Thanks
Hi, i can do that but i will take sometime. atlst 2 wknds. Will try doing that this saturday my net speed is slow so giv me smtime

Hey Jhalife,
Could you send the CWM Recovery because my phone is bricked and I can't possibly make a custom recovery at this stage. I have a TWRP so I can install CWM Recoveries.
hi, im having hard time to install custom rom like Lineage and AIM Rom,
i know how to flash TWRP and Stock Recovery,
and once i tried to install Aim rom using TWRP, Im getting an error such as
this rom is for asus_z010D, Z010D, Z010DD, your device is Z010,
can you please help me with this problem, i really wanted to try Oreo version of Android,
I have asus zenfone max (ZC550KL)
firmware: WW_13.8.26.92
Android: 6.0.1
thanks a lot.
just simply use notepad++ to delete assert lines in updater-script file placed at META-INF\com\google\android (open the zip file and you'll see) and you are able to flash it via TWRP.
Z010
It's work. Thank you broo
Hi everyone,
I have an 10.8 inch wifi only tablet imported from China, non-pro, model CMR-W09C00 which was running firmware B123.
I was playing around trying to convert it to a global firmware and tried to flash it with the same firmware 123 but for CMR-W09C432 using Huawei Firmware Finder.
Turns out this was a pretty bad idea
Now the tablet is not booting and I can't figure out how to recover. Here's what I tried:
1. eRecovery is not working, it downloads the firmware completely and tries to install but fails. It did work fully once before I tried to flash the wrong firmware.
2. Wiping cache and data partition does nothing
3. I have access to fastboot and can unlock/lock the bootloader at will.
4. I have the full-OTA zip file for the original firmware CMR-W09C00B123 and have extracted all the img files contained in update.app
5. I'm trying / hoping to flash images to recover (with bootloader unlocked) but I'm a bit confused at this step.
All the instructions I found in my research mention mostly flashing just boot.img, system.img and recovery.img but I'm missing some of those files from the update.app or I guess they could be named differently. I don't have a boot.img, just a fastboot.img which I'm sure is not the same. I also don't have a recovery.img, just recovery_ramdis, recovery_vbmeta, recovery_vendor, erecovery_ramdis, erecovery_vendo, erecovery_vbmet and erecovery_kerne.
I was able to flash system.img successfully but that didn't help.
Also tried to use the unbrick feature from Huawei Multi-Tool but here again I seem to be missing image files. Multi-Tool says it needs system.img, ramdisk.img, cust.img, ramdisk_recovery.img and userdata.img.
Of those, I think I'm missing cust.img for sure, ramdisk_recovery I might have but it's named differently (recovery_ramdis) and userdata.img I don't think I really need.
I'm attaching a txt file with a list of all the img files I do have in case it can be useful or rings a bell for someone.
Oh yeah, I also tried flashboot update update.zip but it's only giving me this warning:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'update.zip' has no android-info.txt
So...does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Is there a better method to recover that I missed?
Any help is appreciated!
Flash the ramdisk.img to ramdisk and report back please. I have an M3 that is in the same condition as yours, but I am on an extended deployment and won't be able to test this for at least another month :/

Thanks for taking the time to the reply mate, sorry to hear about your M3.
I tried fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img and it said flashed successfully but the device is still not booting. Nothing else seems to have changed either.
Let me know if I misunderstood what you wanted to try or if you have any other ideas.
Cheers

I think I am in a similar spot. I went from a custom ROM back to stock, but now all attempts at installing full OTAs fail. Did you ever figure this out how to fix it?
Thanks
Hello everyone.
I recently unlock bootloader and root my phone. I used flashtool with boot.img and recovery.img.
I want official latest software again. How can I find it?
Code:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/open-source-archive-for-26-3-a-0-140-26-3-b-0-140/
As you can see, I found this page but I downloaded .tar file; not .img file. Besides, it is only one file; how can I find two files like boot.img and recovery.img?
I am new at these things and I could not solve it. Can you help me?
Thanks for advance.
You need to use flashtool. Download latest stock rom (official ie os6.) approx. 1.8gb file. Then connect your device to flashtool. Open a tutorial video from youtube to flash your device to latest stock rom. You need to take a nano backup of system and data. And then enter twrp and wipe cache, system and datav. And then flash
