Hi,
About an week ago I bought the Vodafone Smart II, first thing I did was rooting it, so I can remove the apps Vodafone send with it.
After that I saw there was an update. Without thinking I did the update and after that I had no recovery anymore. Goes straight to "Are you sure you wanna delete all files and reformat?" *Not the real message, but something like that.
After searching here I foud a recovery for my device, but after flashing it, there was a new problem. The touch buttons aren't working anymore in the recovery.
Volume buttons are working well for scrolling through the menu items, but I can't select when with the touch home button.
Anyone knows what to do or try?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my grammar

Use this recovery and flash it with fastboot

If it doesn't work, flash the system.img, custpack.img and data.img of an original Stock rom, and after that do the update 2 (it will fix the touch buttons)
To regain the recovery and root in Update 2 simply use "fastboot reboot recovery" in adb and inside the recovery do the "update.zip" trick to root it
Thnx

Thnx Bro too much
I bought this phone for my kid. I also can't boot into recovery with buttons. But i did it within "android commander" reboot to recovery option.
No need to flash the old recovery image.

Go to roeddie.blogspot.ro
On ota update 3 u have a script batch with rom 0.9.8.
Just look at the pictures and read the texts.
I've made a solution to flash for no recovery or with 4 option recovery phones.

fastboot problem
Hi guys,
I am noob not only here in XDA developers but also on Android tweaking, so excuse me if I mess up with terminology.
What I wanted to do is to provide superuser permissions to my device but before that I decided to do some "warm up".
After performing a "reset to defaults" I updated to ΟΤΑ 2.3.7 update 5 and I messed up the bootloader and fastboot functionality, as the OP stated.
From now on, on rebooting and trying to enter recovery (power and +vol) I get the 1st attached screenshot.
I successfully got into recovery menu through pc command line tool (adb reboot recovery), see 2nd screenshot attached. Adb tool works fine, whatever I try using fastboot tool from my pc seems to fail.
Without this I am unable to flash a different recovery on my device, right?
Am I missing something?
Thanks, in advance for any further info.
I am at your disposal for any further detail I could provide.
Does not work for me. The cmd screen just flashes, I could not even read what it shows.
got struck up with boot logo and not getting inside, I tried to install new rom and it got struck up, I have rooted my mobile and have recovery mode, when i try to restore my backup it shows checksum md5 mismatch, and cant able to fix the problem,
Can anyone help.....?
Thanks in advance

There is a guide around for you in the Q&A/General Section.
You should be careful when rooting phone and flashing stuff. The acts u mention above, i think you ca recover very easily. Just read the guides and follow these steps.
1. Flash a proper recovery for ICS or JB (whichever stock rom u had).
2. Download a proper ROM, ICS or JB (whichever you want to)
3. Flash the zip thorugh recovery and wait for it to complete.
4. Turn off the phone,
5. Boot to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img files (which is the kernel and it is different for each rom)
Actually i think flashing the correct boot.img will solve ur issue but you better follow the steps i mentioned above.

No No No No No NO.
Rom.zip , and i repeat "*.zip" are meant to be flashed via recovery.
for boot.img, and i repeat "*.img" files are meant to be flash via FASTBOOT mode. You need proper exe file on a pc for that. "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"

Then use another recovery.
I have the castor windy version 16gb SGP511. I was previously rooted but not unlocked. I unlocked the boot loader. Installed the twrp image on the pac man thread which i think was dual recovery cause Philz,Cwm came out, so I can install lollipop version of the rom. Made a backup of the stock rom. Followed this instructions - Install the Lollipop ROM + GApps+SuperSU using whatever Recovery you have.
- Turn off device completely.
- Press <Volume Up> and plug USB cable.
- LED should turn blue.
- Send command: "fastboot erase recovery"
- Send command for Castor_Windy: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor_Windy.img"
- Send command for Castor: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor.img"
- Unplug USB cable.
- Device will reboot.
- When LED turns pink press <Volume Up> and <Volume Down> several times.
- You should now see TWRP
I wasnt fast enough so stock rom booted. I used Adb reboot recovery to access recovery and did as the above mentioned. Wiped i tried to install the rom which failed. Rebooted back to system and got stuck in Sony boot up screen. I can access fastboot. Read though the forums I have to find a ftf or a system image file and use a flash tool. What ftf file or system image my I use use which will let me root my device again.
Thanks Steve

Try this Xperia downloader tool. Should let you see which versions are which. If you want an easy root, then stay away from the KitKat builds, unless you want to unlock bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Use Flashtool to flash your downloaded ftf file. Just make sure your device is charged.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335555
I believe flashtool will even install the drivers for your 511
Thanks for the reply. Flashed ftf file and my tablet is up an running. Do I have to unlock my bootloader again or is it unlocked already?

Well, now this depends.
If you previously had KK running, and flashed a original version JellyBean ROM, then it probably locked the bootloader again.
If you flashed the same version as you had previously installed, then it didn't lock it again.

Thanks. Yes i was unlocked already, went through the process again to verify. Trying to upgrade my firmware which is 17...........402. to a kk build firmware. I have the old cwm recovery 6.0.4.6. being trying to upgrade or even change recovery to any recovery except dual recovery. Through fastboot which none of them stick. Fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img all of them(CWM,TWRP,PHILZ). The process goes smoothly but when I access recovery the old recovery comes up. What seems to be problem? I cant change my recovery or even upgrade it. I never have had this problem before some insight needed before i take a wrong turn. LOL.

You mean the "factory" recovery comes up.
Well, just for info, you don't need to run the fastboot "erase" command when installing a recovery. Not necessary as the new image file will overwrite the existing.
Also, you don't exactly need to flash a recovery either. You can connect via USB, boot to bootloader, and run the "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever you named it) as long as your custom recovery is in the same folder as the fastboot.exe. This will just the custom recovery without installing it, thus allowing you to flash stuff.
As to why your fastboot flash isn't sticking, I'm new to the Sony tab, so haven't learned all the quirks yet as compared to Acer tabs.

I mean cwm recovery v6.0.4.6 comes up the one I installed Doomlords thread with the advanced kernel. I ran fastboot erase recovery command to see if the new recoverys would stick and replace it but it didn't. I have done your instructions before hand thats how I am accessing the bootloader. "fastboot boot recovery.img all add this command to see If the new recovery would pop up. Thanks for the reply.

Well, here's what I think is going on.
1. You installed Doomlords kernel. Note that this is a foto-kernel, which means the kernel itself has a partition that contains a recovery. What this means, is that as long a the fota-kernel was not replaced, then that specific recovery will be there.
2. You flashed a normal recovery. Now, I think this is there, but because of the fota-kernel, the fota-kernel is taking precedence.
Like I said, I don't know a lot about this Sony tab and the different partitions,as they are different from other tablets I am familiar with.
What puzzles me, is that if you flash a new "ftf" without changing any options in Flashtool, it "should" rewrite "every" partition on the tab, and install Stock recovery.
Now, based on my experience with Acer A500x and A700x tablets, I can say there are times when your issue happens. Rare, but it does happen. Things say they flash ok, but the old stuff still remains. The only option at that point, was to go back to a totally original version of the firmware.
Not sure I'm helping you on this. But the good thing, is that you can Fastboot Boot Recovery.

I started from zero again flashed ftf Firmware SGP511_17.1.1.A.0.402. Verfied that i was bootloader unlocked I still was. Used fastboot to flash Dooms Kernel, without a problem used cwm revovery to flash Supersu. Tried to upgrade my firmware with the prerooted rooms in thread flashed with out a problem but no difference was provided. Verified in settings and initial firmware stands (SGP511_17.1.1.A.0.402). Tried to flash CM12 got stuck on a bootloop. Fastboot flashed the boot img provided didn't work for me so I flahed Teslas rom Followed instructions provided
1. Make sure you have CWM installed and a working nandroid backup
2. Download the ROM.
3. Place the ROM on your SD-Card.
4.Extract boot.img included in zip and fastboot flash it via Flashtool or CMD
5. Reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe data-factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache
7. Flash the ROM.
Flash went through but when I try to access recovery through the rom or adb recovery doesnt come up. The tablet just stays black on recovery screen and the tablets led turns yellow. I have adb access so went to access fastboot flashed different recoverys. None of them (flashed without a problem), work but if a flashed Dooms I have access to recovery again, but loose functionality of the rom it gets stuck on sony screen. I have to do the steps all over again without a working recovery. This has being a learning experience I am HTC guy so the process with sony products is new to me as well. So where do you think I should go on from here; flash a newer ftf or lock and unlock my bootloader again to see if something happens or just move on jajajajj . Anyways thanks a lot for your help.

Well, I'm not sure which route to take.
However, I will tell you what I have learned the other day.
I have the 521 with unlocked bootloader. Rooted with my own boot.img, flashed SuperSU using "flashboot boot recovery.img" (yeah, sometimes it doesn't show on the display, so it takes a few times).
Now, other day I was going to check out the new LyPop pre-rooted. Fastboot flash recovery recovery,img, and it won't boot it to recovery like it should. Like it's not flashed. Tried it a couple times. Now, I didn't install the dual recovery as I'm not sure how that kernel (boot.img) will interact with my current tabs OS. Not to mention I need it for my work until tomorrow. But strangely it sounds like the same issue you have.
This weekend I will investigate it. As for me, I will probably flash the Stock ftf lyPop build, and just root it using a modified boot.img.
One thing I do know, is flashing a custom recovery to the "recovery" partition, doesn't seem to work like it used to work on other devices. It seems the flashing to the "Fota kernel" partition seems to be the only method that works. This is what happens when you flash that dual recovery, or any recovery that has a boot image using "Fota". Probably explains why you can't get rid of it using "fastboot erase recovery". because it's erasing the wrong partition. Only flashing a full ftf gets rid of it, because the ftf has a new FotaKernel it flashes.
Eh, something like that. Will look at it this weekend.
Hi guys, after 10 hours of trying to get my P760 to life I finally, as a last resort, decided to open this threadh. Heres the deal, my friend gave me his P760 which was stuck at the boot logo, I firstly tried to fix it with LG mobile support tool but it got stuck at 15% after countless tries. Then I tried fixing it with Lg flash tool but it also gave me some errors "omap factory download fail lg p760". After that I couldnt access S/W mode anymore nor did the phone turn on, only black screen. When I connect it to my pc it just makes sounds of new device connected/disconnected. I tried this fastboot method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 but couldnt make it work. Is the phone completely dead or is there anything more I can try? Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.
What was done to brick it in the first place?

I am not sure, my friend brought it to me and he didnt know the reason. Anyway I managed to get into fastboot on another computer and i tried to flash x loader and uboot with the bulit in options and i get the following error "FAILED (remote partition doesnt exist). What can I do next? Thank you for the reply.
EDIT I have tried to get the phone in S/W mode using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4 but I couldnt do it.
I am sure I have to flash something in fastboot so it would be great if someone could point me to exactly what. Thanks again.
EDIT 2 I tried to flash xloader and u boot from post #7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242444 and it gave me the remote partition error failed again. Is the phone "officially" dead?
My experience with this phone is that it is basically unbrickable, at least software wise, thanks to omap4boot. Fastboot is basically telling you the partition you specified doesn't exist. Check you are using the correct syntax. It should be fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img and fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img (I am assuming the files are named u-boot.img and x-loader.img).
Another possibility is that the partition table of the phone somehow got corrupted. In my opinion this is very unlikely, but it could happen if the phone is disconnected while flashing the GTP table with LGFlashTool. Let's hope that's not the case.
Good luck.
@EdwinMoq thanks for the reply. I checked and I was using the correct syntax altough the files were named p1 and p2 both in bin format so I typed fastboot flash u-boot p1.bin and p2.bin respectively. Ive just noticed that they are from ICS and I am not sure what android version was installed prior to the brick. Can you point me where to find the JB files so I can try them if it makes any difference.

I don't think the u and x boot version makes any difference. The fastboot script here comes with with the files for both p760 and p769. Or you can ask a p760 user with the jb boot to dump them and post it here.

Well using that script was the first thing I did after I couldn access S/W mode and I got the partition error, I tried both ICS and JB. Well it would be great if someone could dump their JB boot so I can try that, if it doesnt work I guess Ill throw the phone away

I'm seeing you using lelus method to fastboot...
1) Be sure you are in fastboot whith this command: fastboot devices
2) if the l9 is still in lg logo, just flash a recovery img into boot and recovery partition:
a) fastboot flash boot recovery.img
b) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img3)reboot the device, it must enter in recovery mode by force.
4) once in recovery just flash a custom rom as you wish
Yes i am using lelus method and I see the device when I enter fastboot devices, the phone wont turn so there is no lg logo and I can not enter S/W mode. Where can I find the recovery.img and boot.img ?
EDIT Okay I tried this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585161 but when I issue the erase command it just gives me the remote partition error again. The chances that this is a hardware issue are pretty big.

A few tricks that might help:
-After a failed attempt to enter D/L mode via the volume key, force hard reset. Then switch on phone for an extra time and perform the hard reset again. This really makes a difference.
-If after unbricking the phone with a stock rom the puny LG recovery dialog resides on screen, perform the stock rom installation for a second time, phone should perform a normal boot then. Otherwise there's trouble with rooting and TWRP installation later.
-Fastboot still does not work for me(all?) in Win10, as it didn't in Win8.1,but did in Win7.
The only method to go on seems to root stock rom with Kango Root or a similar tool, then install Twrp, with Rashr or flashify.

Thanks for the reply. How do I perform the force hard reset? Yes, I couldnt get fastboot to work on win 10, on win 7 it works flawlessly.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my p760, fastboot works so far but remote partition error and the phone stays always completely black.
Is there someone who has a new idea to fix it?

Yes i am using lelus method and I see the device when I enter fastboot devices, the phone wont turn so there is no lg logo and I can not enter S/W mode. Where can I find the recovery.img and boot.img ?
EDIT Okay I tried this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585161 but when I issue the erase command it just gives me the remote partition error again. The chances that this is a hardware issue are pretty big.

Elsewhere you must need a technician with a box like octopus box to recompone ESD partitions of the L9 phone
Hard reset is 10s power.
Such a swap of recovery and kernel could have happened after unbricking the phone, when the key combo for fastboot produces the LG recovery. That's why I flash stock twice, then it's right again & ready to root, install TWRP etc.
Thanks for the help guys, I tried everything possible...I think I did, but the phone just wouldnt unbrick so it is going into parts. Thanks again.

Srsly?
recovery partition image on boot?
Probably true. That would explain the strange behaviour of the key combos during boot, after unbricking the phone for the first time. The recovery has replaced the kernel, but the phone can still boot. Strange. Fastboot is unavailable, and the key combo for the recovery shows the "dead droid" and performs a factory reset.

Yes... is an effective method to boot by forced on TWRP or other recovery and then proceed to format all partitions and flash any rom consecutively. After flashing any rom the boot partition is rewrited by the boot.img of the rom.
I did this before on my own L9 for repair and other friends devices. Is totally safe
By the way, I'm not in warn
I was into the process of rooting my XT1506. Unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp successfully and then in an attempt to installing custom rom via Fastboot, i run the command
fastboot -w
and then when i tried to run "fastboot update rom.zip", it didn't succeed. After that, whatever i do, the phone just boots into recovery and never into the system. Badly need your help, Guys....!!! I shall be really thankful.....
I think i made the thread in wrong section and now i cant find the option to move/delete it. I apologize Mods for this mistake and request them to move it.

If you still have twrp installed, you can wipe everything and flash the custom ROM from the recovery itself.
Tried that too...still it boots into recovery...One more thing i have noticed that in fastboot mode, clicking on "Factory" boots the phone normally.
Is there any problem related with recovery. I have presently Flyrom 5.1.2 installed and recovery is 3.0.1 (also tried twrp-otus-2.7.x), if that helps..
Download any Custom ROM (Lineage OS recommended)
Put that in your SDCard or Internal Storage (USB MTP works in recovery mode)
Go To Wipe Section and check All (Excluding Internal Or MicroSD)
Swipe to format
Then Press the HOME Button
Click on Install
Go to the path where ROM is (Root of the storage is best)
Flash the ROM
Wipe cache/Dalvik Cache (Must Do This)
First Boot may take 15-20 min...
Enjoy :fingers-crossed:
Hit Thanks If I Helped you
Problem solved. I think it was a problem with the recovery. I achieved the solution by flashing stock recovery. Now the phone is booting normal.
I am curious if anybody can suggest me a compatible recovery for this phone. By the way, thanx to all who helped me....You are awesome

That is the same recovery which caused the problems. Anyways, i'll try to put that in again and see if there'll be any difference. Btw, thanx mate..
@ aanishjangra try squid2's port of the recovery and see if it helps, although ensure you flash the recovery and immediately reboot to recovery (Not system) and the ROM gets patched.
