Hello all !
I'm not new in the custom ROM environment because I've already flashed my Xperia Arc with tons of differents ROM's. Of course I'm not a flashing expert and this is why I'm here today...
I have a new LG G2 and I would like to flash it with Mahdi Rom. This is what is already done :
- Rooted with IOroot25 -> all is OK because I checked with "Root Checker" and it says OK
- Install TWRP -> all is OK because I performed a backup of my current configuration with it
- Flash Mahdi Rom -> when I select the .zip to flash, I get a message :
- Unable to open mahdirom.zip
- Updating partitions...
I know there is a new problem with Android 4.4.2 about files permissions. So I installed "SD Fix" to solve this problem. I've also try to dowload another archive with the same result.
I have 2 questions now :
- How can I manage to successfully flash my device ?
- Is it normal that I can't directly transfert the .zip file to the internal memory ? I have to put the .zip into a directory and then transfert the directory.
Thank you for your help ! :good:

If your phone is not booting you will need to sideload the rom in recovery

Hi there,
I bought ZTE U819 and I was trying to replace the Chinese recovery, but I chose wrong recovery version by mistake, so:
- I Can´t access to my device recovery (Up Volume + power).When I try to enter, the device always restart
- I Can´t access to download mode (It would be because the bootloader was deleted? mobileuncle tools says (when I try to reboot into bootloader mode) "MTK android have not bootloader mode")
- The device doesn´t recognize the external SD and internal storage either but if I search in the system folder "data", I can see all the apps I´ve installed with iAPK.exe)
- I only can access to system folder through root explorer
- It´s rooted
The only way to install apk is with iAPK.exe
* I tried to edit vold.fstab but didn´t work.
* I tried to install the chinese original recovery from adb but I couldn´t, because when I write down fastboot don´t find any device and always says "waiting for devices" (I have installed all zte drivers at least I think so...)
* I tried to copy the correct recovery to "data" system folder through android commander, and I got, then I copied the recovery in "data" system folder and I tried to flash with terminal emulator, but it didn´t work
* I tried to flash other ROMs (I tried to install 6) which I copied to "data" system folder with Flash Gordon APK but it always says "Is not a valid flashable ZIP"
What can I do to sort it out?
Could I replace any folder from the original .ZIP ROM, I´ve installed in my device, to the system folder through android commander?
If it´s necessary, I can upload all the system folders from the device and anyone could check them and find the problem.
Thank you ever so much!!
Any advice?

I've the same problem, what is the solution?
I am bit late.. But why don't you flash stock ROM via SP Flash Tools, and flash correct recovery once again?
(Format everything except bootloader)
Hello

I Just got new G700 it came with B115 middle east channel , phone is good but as a start is there is a update i must ask my self is root ready , and CWM for sure so i start the digging
@chamaruco thank you for your great thread which saved and helped many people
now i got a file and i think you were looking for it ""G700-U10_V100R001C00B124CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Portugal_Channel-Others_4.2.1_EMUI 1.8_05021LMW.zip"" it contain usb upgrade and sd upgrade with drv and flash tool
i notice EMUI 1.8 not 1.6 which i saw for example a permission manager with it on P6 is that here in that rom too ?
is that rom improved than mine b115 phone is good for first look but
(in B115)
1-camera quality is strange i dont mean bad but it look very strange it is like very poor on quality
2-in call volume is too low in my opinion all " in test mode"
Question now did any one get that update "EMUI 1.8 B124" can tell is there is any improvements ?!
Question am i able to flash CWM image directly with flash tool to save some annoying procedures ?!
a member here provide flasher and cwm.img and orginal recovery.img

want to strike it all once
i will upload "EMUI 1.8 B124" soon as it came from a private server

When you install 1.8 you will notice there is only a tap error from uploader..it is a 1.6 emui. That's all.

But my mobile does not boot into CWM recovery mode as i have seen in my previous Qmobile A8 it always restarts in the defualt recovery mode which only give options to "1. reboot, 2. update from SDcard, 3. update from cashe, 4. wipe/delete user data and wipe/delete cache and in the last there is a calibarate TP, AND OFF COURSE THESE ALL ARE THE ANDROID BUILTIN RECOVERY STEPS NOT OF THE CWM
And off course there is not any file or folder named update.app in the downloaded .zip/extracted file. "as i have mentioned above the folder contains a folder named META-INF and three img files named as boot cust and system while a .bin file named logo too.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

So after I select the Reworked scatter file there is only the sec_ro partition checked to flash. So after flashing it do I now select the previous scatter file and then flash everything (including preloader)?
Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem, but either I'm not searching correctly or I just cannot find the topic that addresses my issue.
I have a Z2 (D6503), still on Android v5.1.1 (23.4.A.1.264). It is rooted, have a locked bootloader and Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip installed.
I want to upgrade to MM (23.5.A.1.291) and maintain root. I have an idea in mind of what I want to do but want to know if it will work or not; is it the right way to do it? If not, then how can I upgrade and keep root?
I also have a Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet that I successfully upgraded to Marshmallow SGP621_23.5.A.1.291 this morning using steps as followed on their forums. My plan is upgrade my Z2 using the same procedure, but with one slight addition (if needed)
In brief (not ), the Z3 Compact Tablet was upgraded as follows:
Step 1. Downloaded latest version of choice using XperiFirm v5. (I prefer the generic Swiss version)
Step 2. Created ftf using Flashtool
Step 3. Created flashable zip file using PRF Creator v1.3 but with slight variation in that the normal SuperSU zip file is not used at all;
Step 3.a. In FTF File field: The ftf as created in step 2
Step 3.b. In SuperSU Zip field: dummy_flashable.zip
Step 3.c. In Recovery Zip field: RecRootV4_combined.zip
Step 3.d. Included (ticked) options: Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, LTALabel and Sign Zip
No Extra Files were added and Create was clicked to create the new zip file.
Step 4. Next step was to copy this new zip file as well as the RecRootV4_combined.zip to the SD card.
Step 5. Rebooted into TWRP recovery (must be TWRP, not any other) and then went to the Wipe - advance wipe option and selected to wipe only the Dalvik Cache, Cache and System.
Step 6. Once done, don't reboot but go back to the main menu and then select to install/flash the pre-rooted zip file as created with PRF Creator. Once this install is done, again, don't reboot but select to install/flash the RecRootV4_combined.zip file.
Step 7. Once this is done, the phone can be rebooted. Once the phone is done running the upgrade setup and you can access, you will get a prompt to upgrade Google Play Services. Once this is done, you then simply search for SuperSu and install and then update binaries and reboot. And that's that...
After this the tablet was on MM, maintained all previously installed apps,settings and data and most importantly; maintained root. I want to do the same with my Z2 but with one addition. At step 6 above I want to add another zip file to install called Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip (which I also copied onto the SD card in Step 4) and then proceed with Step 7
I found the Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip somewhere on the Z2 forums during my searches. Not sure if this is even neede for my situation or not.
I'm also aware that there's a RICDefeat.zip in circulation but this was never called for, or mentioned when upgrading the Z3 tablet so don't know if this is needed here with the Z2 or not.
If this is a workable solution I will add the dummy_flashable.zip, RecRootV4_combined.zip and Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip files if so requested.
Thank you for reading all the way to this point! Any advice, suggestions, confirmations or warnings will be greatly appreciated.
Just install one of the prerooted roms (with recovery) available here and the bootloop fix (just to be sure) then clean cache and dalvik and reboot.
You won't loose anything this way.
If you witness problems after that, you can always do a clean install by doing the same but wiping system and data before the installation of the rom.
Make a full backup in recovery before you start so that you can always roll back to your current situation.
