I own a Lg Optimus One.I updated it to Android 2.3.3
Now i have decided to change my rom into Gingerlol or CyanogenMod.
But,i have a problem.I found very difficult to root my phone.I have read a guide that uses ClockWorkmod.i followed it.In the end,as the guide says,I booted my phone in recovery mode to access to Clockworkmod.I pressed the right buttons(VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER) but the phone booted as normal(no revovery,normal boot.)
So i thought i was pressing the wrong buttons...i tried at least 10 times but nothing...it doesn't want to boot into recovery!
So i had a looked in Internet.I found some people,especially owners of a Galaxy S,having the same problem.It was said that there was an other way to reach the recovery mode using the android sdk.After i had installed it I had to write 'adb reboot recovery' in the cmd.But i coudn't reach the end of the guide beacuse I got errors and errors.In the end,after changed way after I have read in the Internet that having the recovery mode not working with the three buttons wasn't safe(because if accidently something goes wrong when i'm changing my rom i can't unbrick my phone);i changed way.I read in Internt that the problem seems to be in the bootloader.Maybe,i have a different bootloader and I was wondering if it's possible to modify it to have my phone working correctly(it seems that i'm the only one owning a p500 that has this problem).
Thank You and sorry for English mistakes
Guys I finally solved,i don't know why and how,this time I pressed Vol up instead of down and it entered in the Recovery.Sorry Again

After struggling for months, I was finally able to root my Karbonn A27 using Root Master. Soon after rooting, I couldn't resist the urge to install a custom rom.The stock rom was giving me a lot of issues, one of the major problem being the heating issue.
So as a next step, I tried to flash the recovery. I took a chance and flashed the CWMrecovery which was not meant for my device. (The CWM I used was actually meant for Karbonn A21)
As a result of that, I got my phone bricked. (Soft bricked caught on bootloop) Luckily, I am able to put the phone on Fastboot mode though.
To unbrick my phone, I understand that I need to find the stock rom for my device. So that I can re-flash all the images in Fastboot mode. The problem is I am not to find the Stock Rom on the internet. Please let me know if there is any other alternate way to get out of jail.
Notable things:
1) One interested thing, that I would like to share about my phone is that, while booting if I press the "power and up arrow" button together it takes me to weird screen showing hardware information. It does nothing after that, I will have to remove and reinsert the battery to make it boot again.
2) Another thing, after restarting the phone by pressing the power button later if I press the "UP and DOWN" arrow key together. It takes me to another screen which reads "Fastboot" mode displaying options for recovery and factory reset
Please help guyz... I strongly believe xda is the only place in this world that can fix this phone now for me.
:crying: Please help guyz...
HELP...................
Hi all,
I need some help please.
I tried to root my sons galaxy young S6310N using a video on you tube
However at the 4.41 point I didnt have the yes- root option.
I themn rebooted and it went back into CWM recovery. v6.0.3.2
It's been stuck in this for 2 days now, I have searched everywhere for a solution but I'm lost now. I have information overload I think.
I have tried to install drivers through Kies but it won't recognise my phone in CWM recovery or in download mode.
I have tried to install a custom rom via sd card, it seems to work but reboots into CWM again.
I fear I may have made a mess of it now by messing around with things I know nothing about. I panicked really.
The phone was running jelly bean and is only a week old.
I can get adb but not sure how to use it properly.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance
sorted it myself
Hi, just in case anyone was interested I managed to sort this.
I put phone into download mode (holding vol - & menu & power) then pressed up at logo screen to enter download mode.
My pc then installed drivers automatically (something I had been struggling with in CWM recovery mode)
I then installed stock rom recovery.tar.md5 file using odin and the phone rebooted as normal.
I have given up trying to root it now, I may learn properly before attempting again, or may leave it.
Search for your device first before making a thread..!!

Good..but always use recovery for ur phone only..or make it for ur phone..
And do any changes in stock ROM after creating a BACKUP of the same..
ROOTING is not a difficult now-a-days but overcoming from the loss of time and data after BRICKING is so painful.
If you are not friendly with the commands and codes then use a software for that or follow up the WRITTEN guide..or use FARMAROOT app.
Head to thread...Thanks Mr. Bin4ry for this awesome method:
Rooting almost every phone
Enjoy..!!
Hello, after playing with my z90 (with the original rom that was Z90a40_USR_S118 international, bought in october 2015) I wanted to clean it up and make some updates. So I made my backups etc... Entered the recovery (not the green lenovo one wich is very limited) with hold vol - , I choosed to wipe (the phone was encrypted just to mention) all that I can and reset to factory, all was done but when it finished, it reboot and it stuck to initializing just after lenovo logo it reboot... initializing... and it s an inifinite loop. So I retryed to go to the maintenance recovery but it s not possible a black screen come and it reboot, I can go to the limited lenovo green recovery, but no factory reset, so I make the wipe datas etc... nothing... infinite reboot loop!
So I found some rom put them in the micro SD, go for an update.zip with the recovery, update work well but... initializing.... reboot...
Grrr, lenovo... So I take the big tools, installed a minimal win7 with qualcom drivers, lenovo ones, qpst. I tried many manipulation to enter the download mode with port com (I finaly managed multiple times with not the exact manipulation it s vol- + power + 10s and multiple spanning of the vol - button....) And I have succefully flashed multiple roms with qfil but with always the same results... initializing, reboot... I don t know where to search now, I someone can help me to find where to go, perhaps reflashing the recovery or I saw the .qnc in a russian forum but I can t understand one word.... 2 days of flashing make me hate my lenovo, my first brick with a phone . Any help?
Thanks,
sorry for my bad english

Hi,
here is my solution if can help.
I had on my vibe shot s208 rooted ROW. It stacked after SU update in boot loop.
1. I did wipe data without formatting from recovery mode (Vol+ and Vol- and Power button. When Logo is on release power button and hold Vol+ and Vol - until you are in recovery mode). STILL boot loop.
2. I did wipe data with formatting from the same menu. - STILL boot loop.
3. I did factory reset from recovery menu (Vol - and Power after logo is on release Power and hold Vol - until you get recovery mode) - STILL boot loop.
Then I did next:
1. I downloaded and installed QFIL (QPST_2.7.422) - I am not allowed to post links yet.
2. I have connected OTG adapter to phone. Phone was off.
3. then connected OTG to PC. It was some HDD activities but I did not hear any sound.
4. press Vol- for as long as something is going on - HDD activities. Then I think came up sound too - but not sure.
5. I had installed Qualcomm USB drivers from before I suppose.
6. Because I couldn't see my device as ...908 I disconnected and connected again usb cable... then I got my device as ...908 in device manager, but it was written "RECONNECTED" or similar in front of word "QUALCOM".
7. Then just follow instructions for QFIL. and ROM will be installed.
First I have installed INTERNATIONAL no root ROM. But because I needed phone to be rooted in order to use data recovery software I flashed again with s240 ROOTED. When I flashed second time I did not use OTG, just direct usb cable connection to PC, and my phone was again recognized after I reconnected usb cable and in device manger was "RECONNECTED" in front of word "QUALCOM".
Hello, thanks for replying. But I already tried all the roms with qfil, they were successfully installed as wtih miflash but I always got a initializing boot loop... Unfortunately I tried some other method, I successfully erase all partitions, I m now in 9006 mode with a long vibration on start and I cant do anything now No flashing works anymore... I ll try some stuff when I had a little time.
did you find a solution ?? , cause I have the same problem ... tried everything, adb or cwm recovery won't work cause my device is not rooted nor the usb debugging is on .. so am stuck with this "initializing loop".. flashing didn't solve it for me, I tried every ROM I could find, rooted or not .. nothing .... this problem happened with my phone after wiping user data and trying to restore QCN, cause before this problem I had another one with network services, tried to solve it, and here I am, from bad to worse
Hello,
I had the same problem. I tried with QFile and MiFlash but unfortunately without success. will you a track ?
I reinstalled the drivers QDLoader HS- USB Driver. I maintained volume + for 3 seconds , however, nothing happens ! (Before it worked ) I also tried adb reboot eld the prolème is the USBport phone is not known !
I followed the procedure of DejXDA carefully until the end staying press the VOL- the phone starts to recharging battery ... have you others sollutions ? thanks in advance.
Hey there !
Same problem for me... The solution may be to rebuild the partition table, but we need a working phone, and a backup with QPST.
Would anyone post a *.qcn file from his phone, made with QPST Software Download ? or a *.hex ?
And the user partitions ? Or a factory image (*.mbn) ?
Any gurus here, what would you advise for that problem ? Would using QPST properly work ?
Cheers !
Z90-7 (Z90a40) unbricked (at last...)
Hello!
After days and days of fails, my Z90-7 is unbricked!
How?
Just follow the OTG cable method, but copy in the SD card, in the sdfuse folder, this image:
Z90a40_S209_150716_ROW.qsb
You can download it from russian forum*, freely.
*I'm not allowed to post links, but enter the exact reference (Z90a40_S209_150716_ROW.qsb) in Google search (don't accept the Google's proposition to correct it), the link is the first answer. Use Google trad as I did if you don't speak russian .

Hello All
I find myself in a desperate situation.
I have rebooted to ffbm mode by mistake and my phone will not start.
I have just the white start screen with the wilefox logo...it does not get passed this.
I could do with some urgent help if there is anyone out there?...
Thanks
Update....I'm out of it...thank god...if anyone else finds themselves here then volume down and power button for a few seconds. Then you find yourself in the recovery mode where you can select reboot using the volume keys to navigate up/down. Rebooting then worked. What a relief!

Not working for me , help please ???, I had just unlocked my tab bootloader and flashed twrp recovery but instead of booting inyo recovery I booted into ffbm mode by pressing power mode , you are the only one who can help me please ??
I don't like to leave you high-and-dry...but I moved on from this phone already 3 years ago and its a distant memory.
All I can suggest is trying combinations of the buttons like. vol+ & vol- at the same time then press power and hold all 3 buttons.
Also on previous phones where I messed about and nearly killed the thing I found that holding the power button for AGES would eventually wake it up. It may be a waste of time but on occasions I found that just doing the same thing over and again eventually brought a result (although this is said to be the first sign of madness...so careful with that). Good luck with your endeavour...been there many times :S

May be I was wrong before that it is because of ffbm but here is the thing with which I had just suffered ... Yesterday just thought to go and unlock the device and root it with magisk, but when I booted into twrp , I found the twrp wasn't showing the device internal storage , so I searched on youtube and found that formatting data will help so I just did that rebooted again in twrp and it did work but while wiping other stuffs such as dalvik, cache , I accidentally wiped the system so I end up getting a lenovo tab 4 10 which can't boot anymore, And one more stuff is that my device is dm verity which is a biggest headache for me , I had almost 5 samsung phones and all rooted easily but the procedure of lenovo and their support is worst, I had decided to never go with any lenovo product in future but also can't waste my money on that tab : (
Btw ... Coming back to the topic while navigating to the device forum I found the o.p. has posted a system sparse image which can be used to restore the system but even after restoring it my device is not booting up only lenovo logo is popping up and then into fastboot mode, sadly there is no custom roms available for this device as I had also thought to flash the firmware using the guide but I am totally confused and scared about to not to do anything which will hard brick this device, I am still able to boot into recovery which I think is a strange think because after flashing sparse image it should be replaced by the stock recovery file, but as described no booting into system, I tried contacting in the xda forum but no one is replying , I even tried sending pm to the o.p. but no response .
I am conpletely newbie in this fastboot devices and the lack of support just sucks ,thanks for reading this and replying me if you have any suggestion from your previous experience then free fell to tell.

Maybe you have this fixed by now.. I searched around a bit about this and found this:
https://blogthetech.com/flash-file-lenovo-tab-4-10-tb-x304l-firmware-download-stock-rom/
Only one step I'm unsure about and that is "You will need to power off your device and connect it to the PC while off."
On my Wileyfox device (different device, I know) I need to power off and then press and hold all buttons (power, vol +, vol -) until device vibrates and gives a blank screen/no screen, this is how to boot into EDL mode on my device.
Your device maybe works differently, try both ways.
This is probably the best way of unbricking your tablet and here is the firmware file you need:
TB-X304L (WiFi and LTE)
TB-X304F (WiFi only)
Do I understand you correctly that you also have a dm-verity check issue?
For that you need to be booted up and have USB debugging on, tablet connected to pc and you type in this command:
Code:
adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
It will reboot and dm-verity check should by then be fixed.

Thanks for your effort, I had fixed my tab a week before by flashing the stock firmware but can you tell me what is the use of that dm verity commond.
And yes my tab is dm verity.

I should've given it another read, you have headache over dm-verity cause you want to root your device with custom recovery and stuff like that. This command line will not do you anything, not anything you want anyways.
On a Wileyfox Swift 2 device there was an bad uptade that made dm-verity check fail, this command was used to "reset" dm-verity. I assumed you had a similar issue but now I'm sure yours is a different kind of issue.
You would probably want to find a way of disabling dm-verity on your device.
Made one search for it and found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
If it is only root you want you could get it with Magisk without flashing a custom recovery, you need the boot image of your device and you patch it with Magisk.
Then you flash the patched boot.img to your device. I believe this way works around dm-verity so is why I mention it.

Easy problem to solve right? I wiped everything from my phone (including the ROM), downloaded a stock ROM (.ZIP file, and I think that’s what ****ed everything up) and when I tried to install it, it failed once again. Therefore, I downloaded another stock ROM file (this time as a .img file) and tried to installed it.
But what I ended up doing, was installing some other .img file as the boot image (on twrp), and after that, my phone kept restarting endlessly. I couldn’t access the recovery mode (if I tried to press the vol down + start buttons, or just the start button, the process would repeat, so I leaved my phone there until it run out of battery, now its off).
I was despaired and tried to search every inch of the internet for a solution, and obviously, I could not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your attention.
(Im not sure if this is really a soft brick, I named this thread wit my basic knowlage, sorry if Im wrong)
