I find myself with a big problem. I just got a new Huawei Ascend D1 (not quad) and I am having MAJOR issues. My programing friend decided that he was going to root it for me and add the play store to it. He didn't and now now it won't boot. Near as I can tell, he did something to the system file, based on how gapps seems to be installed. Anyway, I can boot to the splash screen and put it in download mode. I can get to the bootloader, but it fails to allow me to flash the factory ROM back....something about a signature failure. I really need help. I have some knowledge of ADB, but seem to be failing. Can anyone help me?
Any pro. expert help you

I need more detailed description of actions your friend perfomed, and version of your firmware. Also, if you do not afraid of russian language, you can check this thread (to download any attachments, you must be logged in, or it give you 404).

I was able to get some info on what Z did. After rooting the phone with Root Bin4ry v18, he copied the contents of the System folder in the gapps package, using es file explorer, into the system folder of the phone. He then restarted the phone and now it goes straight to bootloader and will not flash the ROM. Unfortunately, I could not tell you what firmware was on it other than the latest one. The one bright spot in all of this is that Z made a copy of original system folder. I think I just need to get that back into the system folder on the phone and I should be all set.

Hello!
I need some help and I know this is the place to find it!
I have searched for several days all over the internet trying to read and gather information, and I am coming up short.
I know Bruno Martins has posted some information on his blog on how to "readback" (backup) your current rom for your phone, but there is no information on how to flash the entire ROM package back to your phone (at least with regard to the errors you may receive).
Basically, I am looking for some help on how to backup one of my phones entire rom package and put it on my other phone that I messed up via the Smart Phone Flash Tool (the exact same model: Star Touch Diamond 2 B2000 MT6573).
The new phone works perfect, I have never touched it, my old phone which is the same model I deleted and formatted the system so I need to put the stock rom on.
I was able to do a "backup" of my new phone, but when i try to flash the preloader and uboot, etc, the sp flash tool says error loading file, or region too large with overlap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
By the way, my phone is not bricked, but I cannot access recovery! I was able to find and install another fully assembled rom to my phone and the phone does power on with lights, but it doesnt have the display driver I need so I cannot see anything.
The reason I flashed another rom was because the phone was essentially bricked and wouldnt do anything, and that was the only rom I could find on the internet that was a full package (preloader, uboot, system, etc) but isnt compatible with phone.
Anyhow, if I understand correctly I need to use hexadecimal calculator to find length of partitions of original phones rom, readback the files, somehow edit the preloader file? then flash them back to the old phone?
Please help!
I would love to make a tutorial of this method with pictures and possible errors for everyone if we could get this solved!
Please point me in the right direction!
And I wanted to thank BRUNO in advance for his hard work and help!!
have you tried the neutrino rom from notorious? its reallllly small around 50mb. you may be able to install that since it so small, then work your way back down? not too sure and i can say im no grandmaster but it might work!
***derp. neutrino... thats for atrix only. but hey same concept. maybe a small barebones rom will get you running enough to get things done properly.
Hello stokemonkey!
No, I have not tried the neutrino rom. My main goal is to take my working phone and copy the firmware to my other phone which is the same model. I attempted to flash a rom and then it didnt work out so well (phone still lights up, drivers are not compatible).
I all else fails I can attempt the neurtino rom (as long as you dont have to install from sd card zip file because I cannot!)
the neutrino is an Atrix 4G rom only, so you cant use it and it also needs to be installed via internal so its a no go either way. isnt your phone the china "htc" model? i dont have much user time on an htc so im not too sure what you can do?
again id try to find a barebones that you can flash the way you did with the rom that gave you errors. ill try to do some searching too and see what i can find. let me know if you get anything workin! and if there is someone else out there that can enlighten the both of us help would be appreciated!
and isnt yours like an evo 4g? maybe one of those roms will work?
Thanks for your response and suggestions. I will try to dish up a small tutorial with how far I can get in the backup/flashing process. I can check for an evo 4g rom and see what the specs are. The current rom I used i believe works, but doesnt have the video driver so the screen has no image. I believe each partition of ram has a set size so you can only flash a rom for the mt6573 chipset which will fit in the available space for each partition and also happens to contain the video, audio, bluetooth, etc drivers.
I have used SP Flash Tool and was able to backup all of the partitions of my working phone but the SP Flash Tool gives all sorts of errors when I try to load the files and flash them to my non-working phone.
The funny thing is that I downloaded files for a different phones rom and was able to flash those to the non-working phone, as mentioned in my previous post, which allows the phone to power on, but the phone doesnt work besides lighting up.
I know it is possible to make a backup of my good phone and flash that rom onto my non-working phone, I just dont know what I am doing wrong.
So far, this is what I have done . . .
1. Installed SDK tools for android
2. Obtained my scatter txt file by using command prompt
3. Used MTKRomStudio to open that file which tells me the addresses of all the partitions and their file sizes
4. Used SP Flash Tool V.2.11.29.00 to "readback" (backup) each individual rom file (preloader, uboot, bootimg, android, dsp, etc)
5. Confirmed the file sizes of each of the above files to what MTKRomStudio said the file size should be
6. Attempted to load these files into SP Flash Tool and get errors such as "partition too large, failed to load", or "partitions overlap".
7. I was able to open some of the partitions such as android, and usrdata but when attempting to flash I receive errors such as "dram error".
8. I was able to download an entire backup of all "readback" files for a different model phone, and each one of those files loaded fine and downloaded to my non-working phone.
9. Just to mention, my non-working phone was completely dead (no power up, no lights) before I flashed the random phone rom I found online, and now at least it powers up (lights up).
Anyone have any information? I have created a small visual representation of what I have been looking at and messing around with. Let me know!

I have a MT6575 phone and I have exactly your nr. 7 issue (BROM ERROR:S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL(5054)). Were you able to get this working somehow? I am confident that the selected partitions are for this phone as I read them out myself. But flashing back won't work. Does anyone have any leads?

MTK 6577 and SP Flash Tool
I too am also having problems with the flash tool. I am trying to help a friend bring his chinese note 2 clone back to life. He somehow got CWM onto the phone and the custom recovery seems to be functioning properly, but I cant find any sort of ROM file to flash in recovery.
Now I am going back and trying to restore the phone to factory using the flash tool. Installed the VCOM drivers, then went to load the scatter file we obtained from the factory (Bro Tech) it says the scatter file is incorrect format?
My question is: are there any roms we could try to flash on this phone from CWM or do we have to use the Flash Tool? I'm hoping since CWM seems to be working that I can simply flash an acceptable rom with that instead of trying to find a scatter file.
Maybe someone can suggest some ROMs to try flashing with CWM. The phone is: Goophone N2 7100 I believe. Thanks for reading, I really want to help him resurrect this interesting piece of copyright infringement (the phone looks amazingly like a Note 2 till you get close to it)

hi, i've made a mistake.
I've installed an odex version from a modified recovery(with dalvick cache). Can anyone help me?
Hello Everyone,
I badly need help on my Huawei Honor U8860 phone. I have recently updated it from 2.3.6 to 4.03 over WIFI and the update went smoothly. So now here is what my phone have:
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-perf-00059-g3a757a2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: U8860IV100R001C00B923SP01
I have not rooted the phone at this time. It was working fine until 2 days ago when I started getting messages on the screen like:
"Unfortunately, 2D Home has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Browser has stopped"
And so on, and so forth. It seems that all apps and processes have stopped when I try to use them so I literally can't use the phone. I went through several threads here just trying to restore my phone back to a
working state. I tried to do the following in order but without success:
1.) Factory data reset / erase everything - the phone boots to the recovery menu then it formats the /Data, /Cache and /HWUserData then it reboots. After reboot, the phone is back to where it was before the factory data reset with everything in it including downloaded apps.
2.) Manually uninstalled all downloaded apps. Removed screen lock (just to see if phone behavior changes). Then rebooted the phone but after reboot, all the apps are still installed and the screen lock is back as well.
3.) I tried to Force Update with the following official ROMs: B886, B919 and B923 but I always get the message "Update failed" during the update process.
4.) I downloaded the file "recovery-u8860-en.img" so I can replace the "recovery.img" file . Rebooted the phone w/ the pink screen and connected it to my PC but there is no USB mass storage device mounted.
5.) Finally, I tried to root the phone. I enabled USB debugging. I installed the ADB drivers then I downloaded the U8860 root tools and rootexplorer.apk. When I ran the "root-me.cmd", it tried to copy some files to the phone but it failed. The error was "read-only file system".
So it seems that the problem is because of the "read-only filesystem". I does not permit/allow any changes made to the phone. Can you help me restore my phone?
Please.. Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks, clint2rose

try to back-up some of the data form the partitions that are full on your phone and delete them, maybe afterwards the stock-rom-flashing procedure will work again.

what do you mean by flashing your current ROM? Just like any other stock ROM put the dload folder on the sd-card and start the update procedure either from the settings menu or via the boot-key-combination.
Yes the way you discribed is the correct one for flashing those patches, If those patches also don't work, I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Thank you once more for your time. Most of the thread I read regarding these patches often used the phrase" you have to flash the current version of your ROM using the patch"...
And yes I created dload folder, place the UPDATE.APP and put it on the sdcard. I turned off the phone and removed the battery. Then I pressed vol+ vol- and power on/off button. The firmware update went to about 70% installing before displaying update failed.
I guess I will have to bring my phone to a repair center. My only problem is that there is no Huawei service center at my place (I reside here in Saudi Arabia). I got the phone as a free device on a broadband package and the warranty is already expired. I'm a little worried to take the phone to the small mobile repair shops as they might screw up the phone even more. Huawei is not a popular device here unlike iPhone, HTC and Samsung Galaxy.
As I understood that your device is rooted, you should get some custom ROM and try to install it.

you don't need to be rooted, you only need to have a custom recovery deployed (which you can either do with root permissions, or by using the pink screen method, but some newer stock roms (you said your on 932 or something? last non-locked working is b919) this has been locked and the device will not boot if the kernel or the recovery image has been manipulated.
I think you will have to find some (huawei-certified!) repair-center, small do-it-all phone-shops probably won't be able to take care of this problem for you.. I'm sorry but I don't see any other solution

Ok. I will try to find a repair-center experienced in Huawei devices. I have one last question if you don't mind. Is it possible to erase everything on the phone? As in completely erase or reformat after which there will not be an operating system on the phone. I read in some threads that this is possible w/ custom recovery but I want to know if it is also possible for phones without the custom recovery. I'm hoping there might be some tool or something..

Have you find the solution yet? I have the same problem. Somehow my phone system is "locked". I can't install or uninstall app. Some google apps keep showing not responding. Everything changes i made, keep showing up after the phone rebooted.
This was happen a few days after I upgrade to ICS B932SP01 and rooted my phone (to remove original chinese apps).
Luckily i have friend in huawei indonesia. He gave my u8860 to the technical support. But the result was no good.
They try everything, even install my phone with the original GB and always failed.
The last suggestion is change the phone machine, which is as same as buy a new phone.
I really appreciate is someone can help me here...
Thanks
So guys, I'm new to this and thought I would jump in at the deep end.
I unlocked my HTC One X+ easily and set about rooting.
I've got TWRP installed but it keeps telling me it needs to install superuser before it can root.
I have totally wiped the phone, how come if Im not rooted?
How do I get an OS and indeed the kernel or ROM onto the phone?
Its and International OX+, I've got the right kernel... what do I need to do?
It was locked to O2 if that makes a difference
I followed the instruction in Hasson but then wiped the OS
I know its a simple procedure but can someone walk me through it please
So I've downloaded Kernel 3.1.10-ge7581e4
I have no idea what to do next, come on guys I know its not difficult for you guys.

If you wiped as you said, you need to push with adb a rom of your choice to the internal memory of the phone and then install it within twrp.
Please read instructions 2 or 3 times before attempting anything, seems like you rushed and now you're temporarily without phone till you flash a rom on it again. I doubt any root guide tells you to wipe the phone, your own fault on this.
To sum it up:
Put a rom's zip of your choice in the internal memory with adb push
flash the rom within the twrp recovery (install option)
flash the kernel for the specific rom with fastboot (each rom has a guide and download for it)

If you wiped as you said, you need to push with adb a rom of your choice to the internal memory of the phone and then install it within twrp.
Please read instructions 2 or 3 times before attempting anything, seems like you rushed and now you're temporarily without phone till you flash a rom on it again. I doubt any root guide tells you to wipe the phone, your own fault on this.
To sum it up:
Put a rom's zip of your choice in the internal memory with adb push
flash the rom within the twrp recovery (install option)
flash the kernel for the specific rom with fastboot (each rom has a guide and download for it)

Thanks, I did indeed rush into it but I have been meaning to do it for a year and just thought go for it, I know its all salvageable..ish!
So yep, I've got the ROM I want but don't understand the kernel, I see no guide to download it, all I know is I took a note of the Kernel before I wiped my phone and I have managed to find the exact kernel.
The ROM or RUU as it is, is an O2 UK version, I figure it must be the one I want as it was an O2 phone in the UK.
I still don't know what folders to put things in, TWRP can't see a boot.img that I have on the phone when installing, it can only see it through file explorer.
And then, every time I power down the phone TWRP asks to install Superuser, its cant, theres nothing to install it to, so it just keeps asking.
This is all because I hated the Sense 5 update, indeed Im till looking for the Sense 4 ROM fo HOX+

Sigh, if you had read carefully you'd know that boot.img need to be flashed through fastboot and not from recovery. Every rom has this info or a batch file for this.
So what exactly are you trying to do? Root the stock rom that came originally with the phone or installing a custom rom?

Lols, thanks dan, I hope you don't hate me!
Root the stock ROM
For starters..
The boot.img is the Android Revolution HD
The RUU is O2 UK
I do realise they are two different ways of installing an OS, I would just like one of them to work!
So think install RUU, then kernel
But put them where and how
I bought the Android Hackers book, but theres nothing about HOX+ in it, and seeing as that's the only phone, I've got to practise on I thought I would ask you specifically.

I see, the easiest ways would be to use a custom rom now. For example, the one you already got the kernel from(android revolution hd)
To root you dont need to install a kernel... just to flash the supersu zip. Using a custom rom's kernel with stock rom might not be a good idea.
Another simple way would be to restore stock rom back to start and try rooting again, this time reading everything carefully
So the two easiest ways i think:
1) flash a custom rom following the instructions they provide in the initial posts for that rom
2) run the o2 correspondent RUU to restore stock rom (you'd need to relock the bootloader), also reading carefully posts in the forum about restoring to stock
Without getting into too much detail, these are the simplest options.
All the info required to do these are on these forums
Aaarrghhh, its driving me insane as I knew it would, just like XP, Vista Seven and Eight!!!
So Im back to being up all night learning..
Well have installed SDK correctly but device is not seen, no serial, nothing.
I can get it to fastboot though, however I don't know any commands so I cant get it to work
Windows 7 keeps moaning about an mpt file which I downloaded and dont know where to extract it to
All I need to do is copy a few files to the phones sd card and install them right?
Whys that so difficult?
I don't know the difference between a rom an ruu and a boot image, in that I don't know where they should all be placed.
Why cant twrp copy and paste from pc...
So Hassooon works sort of but still none the wiser.
Am following tutorial but fastboot commands are not working
Still cant find right driver.....
So CMD lines not working 100%
So am downloading drivers in sdk manager
And how do I flash the supersu zip?
Still no luck with driver, im on windows 7 32bit
OK I cant push using adb it cant find the file or directory,
Hassooon cant detect the phone as cant windroid universal
I dont think the phone is rooted even though i have twrp on it.
Thus can I have wiped the os?
If not can i restore it?
No I didnt make a backup rom..
mmm a zip on the phone doesnt load in bootloader, count that be my os?
Guys, im stranded in the water here...
On boot im getting...
Failed to open usb master mode
[Preload] Failed to open usb master mode
loading PM35IMG.zip image...
Failed to open usb master mode
please plug off usb
Whats PM35IMG.zip?
Is that the OS?
Am I saved?
Is it easy to get that file to unzip and load?
Can anyone help?
So now I need the right RUU.....
2.17.206.3
Is there anyone out there that can help please?
So have managed to install superuser and root my phone, all instructions for doing this were wrong including Hassoon, had to have the phone in System screen to do it, not bootloader or recovery.
Now cant get adb to push file to sdcard...
Man alive, how to make something very easy, sound very difficult.
Would any of you experts care to help?
Just trying to install a ROM.zip to Root and place the boot img in right place.
Well, the instructions are dire but after 10 days of persistance have installed Android Revolution HD 8, finally my phone is up and running better than the bloated os that came with the phone so, you can call this thread resolved.
Hello..just recently, i got an android that was bbm pre loaded..it a new type of android.its called the b.elite2..and everytime i tried to update bbm, it told me unable to install please uninstall a previous copy of the app and try again and since it was a system app i rotted my phone and used a software to remove it but i made a backup when i removed it and tried to install from the app store, it says incompatible update and i felt it had something to do with the system config so i edited BUILD.PROP file and made a backup BUILD.PROP.BAK but when i rebooted my phone, it got stock on the boot logo..the problem i have right now is that i cannot write to the system..i was able To copy the BUILD.PROP.BAK from the system and rename it to BUILD.PROP but whenever i try to to do an adb push, i get
FAILED TO COPY. READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM
did some research and was told to mount as read write but whenever i tried that, i got
OPERATION NOT PERMITTED
i just cannot write to the system..i also tried using commands to rename the build.prop file to the former name and still no luck.
and i'm doing all this from something called factory mode never seen that before..when i try to boot into recovery to just restarts and goes back and gets stuck on the boot logo..fast boot is the same story..
PLEASE THIS IS A NEW PHONE..CAN ANYONE HELP ME???WHAT CAN I DO??
You have to be careful when editing the Build.prop. The only option I can think of is find a stock ROM for your phone. Or try and Fastboot/ADB flash a custom recovery so that you can flash a ROM if any are available for your device. Google is your friend search for some custom recoverys and ROMs for your phone. It might be a little hard since your particular device is considered Chinese branded or foreign branded. So it really doesn't get alot of attention from devs. Next time whenever you are making changes to your phone besure you have a backup via custom recovery .

i flashed a wrong rom to my mt6582 device and now it s completely dead.
and i looked virtually everywhere for a rom for my phone but could.nt find any but i remembered that when i was rooting my phone, it was identified as htc so i was wondering that just maybe the device was just given a different name you know..
so i want to ask if its possible to know what device it is and if its possible to put the rom for another device on aother one..

I just searched it. Its a Media Tek Device. Not a HTC. The manufacturer might have some HTC code in the build.prop but its not actually and HTC device. Google Search "Media Tek MT6582 ROMS"

Hi, i tried to install a custom rom in my device (y6 2018 ATU L21) and an error ocurred due to my ****ty usb cable, so now im in a big trouble because the phone is bricked.
I backup some partitions before the accident such as kernel, ramdisk but guess what, the most important (system.img) is corrupted and i can't do anything.
The phone boots and shows huawei logo and then black screen forever, i can't access TWRP nor Erecovery, im completly stuck.
I searched on "Huawei Firmware Finder" but any of the ROMs for ATUL21 works (some of them have missing partitions) so now i only depend on the community, if there is any good person that has this phone and wants to help me by sharing the partitions to me i will appreciate such act of generosity, if you want to help me you can follow those steps (Need to be root):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-twrp-backup-current-partitions.3853831/
If you have any stock rom that works for this model im glad to accept it .
Have a good day.
I think I have this for you:
ATU-L21 BACKUP
Good luck!

For people like you i never lose hope on the community and i always try to help others, thank you so much my brother. Bless you and your family.

which tool do i use to write this file
Hello, it's been a while since the post but I still need your help. I have the same problem as describe. I downloaded the file from the nice man. Tried to flash it with fastboot but the phone still has the same problem. maybe you can solve your problem and can help me.
I only have access to fastboot because the rest doesn't work. maybe you also have a custom ROM that works on the device, which doesn't necessarily have to be original software.
Thanks in advance

Hi, this is what i have done to recover the phone. First, there is one mistake that i made and it was trying to flash the files from fastboot, you can't do that because the phone is bricked, instead you need to download the firmware from "Huawei Firmware Finder" and then you need to dissasemble your phone to press the test point. look at this video for reference huawei test point once your PC is going to recognize your device as 'COM' on the device manager, and then you need to use a tool to flash the firmware, i can't share with you the tool since i have switched to Linux distro and i don't use Windows anymore. But if you were smart enough to flash your phone i think with a little bit of search you are gonna find.
Good Luck and have a good day.
Hello thanks for the answer, I have already downloaded stock roms from 2 different sites, both are the same.There are many subfolders in the file but after a long search you can find some .app files right? What should I do with the file exactly? Flash this directly? If so, do you happen to remember the name? Or did you extract the various files from this file, such as "Boot" or something else?
