Hello everyone!
I have tried researching before asking for help, but I don't seem to find a solution.
I have today partitioned my SD (when will I ever stop fiddling I wonder? ) using CWM recovery.
I have lost access to my SD Card and cannot mount it any longer.
I have Googled today, and the advice was to flash a stock rom again ( I9100XWLPF_I9100OXILP6_I9100XXLPX_HOME.tar) and use the "clear storage" option.
So, I flashed 4.0.3 stock again.
Whenever I follow the steps highlighted here:
1. Shut the POWER OFF, take the battery out and put it back again.
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Briefly Press and release the Power button
4. A menu will then appears that let you allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Quickly Press and release the Power button
7. Select Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
I get into download mode instead.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get into the bootload menu I need?
Thanks ever so much to whoever offers help, it's much appreciated.
Fastboot isn't in the galaxy s2. Recovery and download modes are the only modes on this device.
You downloaded a stock ROM, which is most probably a .zip file. Extract it on your PC, you'll get a .tar file (don't extract any further).
Download Odin3 on PC.
Boot phone into download mode. Connect phone to PC, and open Odin. A yellow box should show which indicates that Odin has detected your phone. (If not, you need to download the drivers, search and you'll get them).
Select PDA button, and choose the .tar file and flash. Make sure repartition is unticked. Only things ticked should be f.reset (or similar) and auto reboot.

Hi,
I bought a s4 gt-i9500 replica. The android 4.2.2 is installed with out my native language so I have a English version an I wanted to install a ROM with my language.
I have rooted my phone with Impactor, and did the rest as it is said here: How to install CWM recovery and Custom Rom on chinese Smartphones [HD] on youtube - can't link it:/
I have downloaded the ROM and recovery.img and copied that to the phone. Then I downloaded the mobileuncle tools and went to recovery update, selected the recovery.img, I'd flash the recovery as shown on the film. Rebooted the phone and then the phone is turning on normally instead of going to recovery mode. When I selected into recovery mode with mobileuncle tools i get the same result.
Before I also tried the vol -, power, home buttons and I get a Chinese menu on black screen and I don't know what to do there. I have also installed odin, but it doesn't see my phone.
Could anybody help me? I'm thinking right now that maybe something is wrong with the recovery.img.
The mobileuncle tools is showing mtk build as MT6589
hope u can...
switch off phone
press volume down+menu+power key
and connect to pc
if u get device driver installtion unsucssesful ....
......
right click ony computer
goto manage
device manager
foynd unkown device and right click on it
get driver manually ....(pc is connected to internet)
.....
if u get success full
right click on recovery.img and add to rar file...
in rar file open with notepad
and save as recovery.tar
....
open odin connect phone u get yellow box
click on pda select recovery.tar
and flash u get cwm on your device
press volume up+menu+power
else
press volume up+volume down+menu+power
and then you go.... beat of luck
The computer dowloaded a alcatel android adb interface, I did the trick with converting to recovery.tar, then I opened odin and then he does not see my phone, i don't get a yellow box
p.s I found a way to get to recovery mode by pressing the vol + and power and home button. And know I know that there is something with the recovery.img that I dowloade something wrong, because the phone turns on, on recovery mode and restarts, and when I have dowloaded the cwm 6.0.2.8 and then go in to recovery mode I get a white screen
Now in the device manger it is showing a device with out a driver JY-G4 when I connect the phone on recovery mode. Any idea white kind o driver I need?

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.
milind
hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Hi,
Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

and downloaded today ..

Both are not working. ON TWRP it is saying ..
MD5 File NOT FOUND
ZIP File Signature VERIFICATION FAILED
Error in Flashing Zip
Please help?
Edit : I also tried Unticking ZIP File Verification. But still it says .. "Error in Flashing Zip"
I did this from the forum @carrett started:
Obtain the following files: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (available on IRC or googling), and the firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953). Unzip AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip and follow the instructions in "READ ME FIRST.txt" (mad props to tSilenzio for automating this process).

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

I tried reboot to boot loader but unfortunately it takes me back to Fast Boot mode (in green Andriod screen) :/
I also tried all options of reboot but no use. Either the phone comes in Fast Boot mode or Power off.

1. First Download the stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Sony_Xperia_ion
2. Download Flashtool from here http://www.flashtool.net/download.php for whatever platform suits you.
3. Install Flashtool and open it .
4. Connect device in Flash mode ( by pressing volume down (-) button while connecting to USB ).
5. Go to C:/Flashtool/Driver and run it.
6. Install Flashtool drivers, Fastboot drivers and (" your device ") Drivers.
7. Now copy the stock firmware (file_name.ftf ) and paste inside Firmware folder present in C:/Flashtool.
8. GO to Flashtool click on flash icon --> select your firmware .
9. At last click on Flash , it almost take 2-3 minutes.
### Unplug your device and boot it, it will definitely boot. ###:good:
Hi, This guide is made for flashing Alcatel OneTouch POP UP (6044D). This won't work on any other device. This guide is very simple. If your device has been soft BRICKED or Hard BRICKED this is the way to restore it.
THE FIRMWARE PROVIDED IN THIS THREAD DEOS NOT BELONG TO ME
I AM NOT RESPONSABLE OF ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDE, DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN BRICKED
What you will need
1: PC/ Laptop
2: Miracle Box (Link given down the thread)
3: Qualcomm Drivers
4: The Device
And some knowledge
So Let's start.
Link for Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQqd_psFzvxSEJ1OUpxSFFtRW8/view
Link for Miracle Box:
Link will be available tomorrow
First download QUALCOMM drivers, it's very essential or your PC won't detect it.
Download Miracle box (PROVIDED in the THREAD). The miracle Box has been cracked so it does not need a dongle. Make sure to turn off the antivirus otherwise the Antivirus will delete it:crying:
Download the FIRMWARE of the device, I have tried other Firmware with different tools but this was the only one that worked, my device was also Hard BRICKED, so the FIRMWARE is tested. Also I have tried other guides provided online but neither of them worked for me, Flashing it with QFIL Will lead to an error or an Unfinished flash.
When everything is installed.
[PHOTOS ARE INCLUDED ONE THE BOTTOM OF THE THREAD]
Open Miracle Box, Click on QUALCOMM, Then on Flashing, There you will see two option "Write Flash" and "Custom Flasher", so Click on "custom Flasher". Then choose "File to Write".
Also choose Partion(s) that you want to Flash. e.g. System.img so choose system as Partion and system.img as file to Write.
Once all of this is done, boot the device into edl mode, yes, 6044D has edl mode.
HOW TO
So to boot into edl there are two ways to boot into it. First is through recovery mode (stock) or TWRP etc... So if you have a recovery then navigate to reboot to bootloader in recovery, when pressing power button to choose it, press volume + and - at the same time start pressing home button two to three time. and then will turn dark black or back with backlight turned on.
This one is for without recovery, in case you don't have a recovery then, press power, volume + - and home button at the same time, the phone will start and will show boot logo, keep pressing it till it restarts, (When restarting press the home button multiple time) and it will go in edl.
(But in my case, I had to do it multiple time to get to edl mode)
Back to PC. Plug the USB to the device and the PC then Press port button, if it doesn't detect it, it means that it's not in edl mode, try again
When all is set press start, ( everything said on the upper paragraph must be done quickly or it will give an error ) so be quick:good:
Once the partition is flashed, do the same one by one with the whole rom, mainly system, boot, recovery etc... (When doing it you don't need to reboot and come back in edl mode)
WHEN FLASHING DO NOT REMOVE THE USB PORT! OR IT WILL LEAD TO EVEN WORSE CONDITION, JUST DON'T
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have any problems or questions ask me, give a thanks, that keep me motivated:silly:
Some stock rom screenshots are attached,
Another thing is that of you have a custom recovery for Alcatel pop up 6044D, like TWRP, CWM or Philz recovery, so please send it to me
