Hi. Use stock ROM S124 ROW or Chinese depend what you want.
Then with FlashTool 5 Flash your JB back with firmware upgrade option. NOT DOWNLOAD.
Good Luck.

Can you offer any help with this, please? I've tried quite a few times to flash TWRP recovery from the Live 0.7 ROM, on my 226 stock ROM, but I can't get it working. FlashTool keeps giving me: "PMT is ready and layout has been changed." (Or a similar message in the v5.)

Thanks for the reply Stympy. I've tried the scatter file with the TWRP image, and the two 4GB scatter files 1 and 2 which you provided as alternatives. The TWRP scatter file, and the '2' file both give the PMT error.
The '1' file looks like it's working, the progress bar flashes red, then the timer starts counting up, but it never seems to actually do anything. I've left it for five minutes but it still doesn't change. After I unplug my phone I need to press the reset button to get it back on.
I think my phone might've been made in 2014, do I need to use a preloader image at the same time, or something? If so which image?
Thanks.

Hi. Be careful, because if you flash the new preloader and your phone is not 2014 made, you can soft brick him.
Look better on your phone case and see if you have there something writen in chinese language and a date like 03.2014.
For the fact that you have to press the reset button, seems to me that your preloader is affected by something.
Did you tried to use the scatter files with TWRP 2.7.1.1?
If not try and tell me what is going on.
Waiting for feedback.

Thanks for the wise warning! I've looked on the back and I can see a sticker that says:
Lenovo P780
CMIIT ID: 2013CP5888
Then two lines of Chinese.
There is also a blue sticker with numbers including what could be a date (if it's YYDDMM): 131911.
So I guess mine is a 2013 model.
I have tried the scatter file with the TWRP zip, and I get the PMT changed error.
I have also tried to use the Geno tool from the same thread, following a YouTube video, but it seems to give an error in Chinese that includes 'ADB' and 'USB'. Though I did have the phone on, connected, drivers installed with usb debugging.

Hi. I have thought of what you say and try to do this:
1. Power of your phone.
2. Load the scatter file who showed you 100% with red line and TWRP 2.7.1.1
3. Check DA/DL with checksum
4. Press download
5. Plug your phone
6. Let the red line to get at 100%
7. If the line dont change collor and do nothing, open the case of your phine and press the little red button for 20 seconds, be carreful to be 20 secconds.
8. Now release the button and tell me if TWRP is flashed.
9. WARRNING: BOOT YOUR PHONE DIRECTLY IN TWRP. ORR ELLSE STOCK RECOVERY WILL OVERITE TWRP.

Thanks, once again, Stympy, for your help. I'll outline the process I follow below:
1. Shut down phone
2. Open Flash Tool on PC
3. Load scatter file from your '1' version
4. Put a tick in 'Recovery' then click and load the TWRP 2.7.1.1 recovery.img
5. Tick 'DA DL with all checksum'.
6. Click Download (flash tool shows searching)
7. Connect phone, hear windows sound acknowledging device connected... Flash tool progress bar zooms up to 100%, goes red, then disappears.
Now flash tool is counting up time. At the bottom it's showing 'MT6589_S00', USB_HIGH_SPEED, and the progress stays at 0 bytes / 0 Bps. After about two minutes this hasn't changes so I proceed to:
8. Hold down reset button at back of phone for 20s (I used a stopwatch! )
9. Remove USB cable (Flash tool then shows error: 'S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)')
10. Press phone power button, immediately hold vol up and down
11. Phone boots to stock recovering, showing 'no command'

Hi. At step 9 you must leave the cable plugged and pres reset for 20 secconds. When you release the button flash tool must retacke his job again. Did you do that ? When flash is complete a green circle must appear!
Waiting for feedback.

Hi Stympy, and again, thanks! I cannot do this, unfortunately. As soon as I press the reset button, with the phone still plugged in, the Flash Tool comes up with an error: "S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)". At that point it's gone back into standby. I tried pressing 'download' again while I was holding down reset, but it did nothing when I let go.

Hey all
First off id like to say thanks for looking and helping
I recently updated my phone to the ICS (official) via the OTA update and i found i could NOT install 3rd party versions of software
So i rebooted into odin mode where i then installed the rom i origanaly had then it got stuck at the boot screen with the yellow triangle
So i rebooted into ODIN and re flashed to the origanal XWKF3 i origanaly used
Then i rebooted to the recovery mode then tried to install the rom (update.zip) and it errors saying E:failed to verify whole-file signiture. and E:Signiture verifacation failed, Installation FAILED
It wont no matter what i do play ball so here it is WHAT CAN I DO besides throw it against a wall verrrrrry f in g hard and hope it smashes into millions of lille bits .....
It is making me ill i tell ya
So if anyone can help it would be so appreciated and i would donate £20 to there happy funds they can buy a case or something nice with ........
EDIT:: now it wont respond to ODIN odin sees it but sticks at setting up connection then fails
Also when starting ODIN mode on the phone it says ODIN MODE , PRODUCT NAME SHG-I777 (this was one of the roms i tried) and wont change no matter what rom i try... custom binary says YES (9 counts) CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
cheers again
Can't you skip signature verification in CWM. also did you do a band backup before updating. Strange issue you have.

Hi thanks for replying
I mostly have to get to the recovery from S2 root software and i have to have an unsecure tar rom installed.....
I cant boot into CWM i can only boot into there boot recovery the only options in there are
ANDROID systerm recovery <3e>
Enter: ok key, select :vol up / vol down
reboot system now
apply update from sd card (this is where i get the signiture errors)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
thats it
What version of the sgs2 do you have? You may have flashed a ROM for the wrong model.

I only wish i knew i thought it was the I9100 with XWKF3 tar but i am obviosly wrong and all the kernels in XDA links dont work so cant get the uk o2 ones
Is there anyway of finding out withought having to have a working phone ie through the serial etc..
It is an unlocked phone
I have it on o2 and it is british not imported
Cheers i wish i was clued up about this
The first time i rooted it when i got it it all worked well no problems and i then flashed back to the origanal rom and it worked well got all updates and was still rooted
After ICS i see i could not install some apps i had so i flashed a new insacure rom and thats where it all began
IS IT BRICKED SHOULD I SELL IT AS FAULTY
No, as your phone still turns on.
First boot back into the recovery you have now, and factory reset and wipe the cache.
Then to revert back to stock head over to the galaxy s2 forums, then into original Android development, then head into the official firmware page, and flash one of the firmwares listed there with Odin.
Hope that helps

No, don't add that PIT file. Just post the log messages from ODIN.
EDIT:
Also try following things:
1. Make sure you're in download mode and your screen shows "Downloading..." text.
2. Take out your battery for 5 minutes and put it back.
3. See if the phone charges in power off mode. If yes, make sure it's charged enough, at least 30%.
4. Can you go into Recovery mode? Try pressing Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button simultaneously to enter into recovery mode. If you're able to get into recovery mode, you can flash the update-cm-9-20120331-CODEWORKX-galaxys2-signed.zip file from there. See if that works for you.
5. Possible post a screenshot of ODIN where it's stuck.

Right now, you've installed CyanogenMod ROM of Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 version of Android. It doesn't have Kies in it as it's a version from google, more clean and bloatware free. If you want, you can go back to Samsung Version to use Samsung Kies. All you need to do is to download and follow the instructions from following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Alternatively, here are instructions to import it into without Kies.
there is one way i found
1. open Kies
2. open your last saved *.spb file
3. save the file again as *. vsf manually in the file name area
4. go to were normally saved spb files ( C:\Users\ _\Documents\samsung\Kies\PIMS)
5. you will find all the contacts saved as vsf file.
6. select all contacts and copy them in a directory (ontacts)
7. connect your samsong to the pc and copy the directory (cotacts) in to the sd card
8. disconect your samsong
9. select the contact icon
10. from the left key press and select import contact from sd

PS: I suggest you to save all your contacts to Google that way you don't have to backup them everytime you format your device.
Will do it the 2nd way as i am happy with the software on it now
I thought i had synced them with google but am not sure how to get them back
I hope this is in the right section, don't know as I am new to XDA.
But I have a real issue. Here goes.
I recently updated my Xperia S to ICS. And I thought I want to root it.
So I went ahead and started, but when I should have placed a zip file on my internal memory, I extracted the files there instead.
So no, on CWM, when I am supposed to install from .zip file, I can't, since I do not have .zip file there.
I have tried almost all of the options on CWM on the phone, nothing works and I just get back to the start.
So my question is, how do I get out of the loop?
Is there any way I can access my phones files? So I maybe can put the SuperSU .zip file in the directory?
I can boot the phone in fastboot mode, but then it doesn't show on the computer.
Or maybe I can just reverse everything? An easy way, because I am not the best when it comes to this. I have found some solutions, but they ALL require that you put files on your SD card. Only problem is that my phone doesn't have SD card, only internal memory. ANd I can't access that right now.
Please help
Download Flashtools from http://androxyde.github.com/
Download a stock ftf rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
Put the downloaded rom in the flashtool/firmwares/ folder, then go to flashtool/drivers/ folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe, when that has finished restart your computer.
Turn phone off, now press and hold the volume down button and connect the phone to your computer with the usb cable, when you get a green led you can let go, you are now in flash mode.
Start up flashtool, or flashtool64 if your on an x64 system, click the thunderbolt icon in the top left corner, select flashmode and click ok, in the left hand window select the rom you downloaded and then click ok in the bottom right corner.

Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Hello, I'm having the same problem too, but I wonder how do I "turn off" the device, since I keep pressing the top button to do this and it reboots and goes into CWM mode? Will I have to remove the battery?
Good news. Luckily I managed turn off the device. In the CWM main menu, keep the cursor positioned over the option that resets the device. Hold down the power button and immediately after, press the volume up and hold. Wait until the device vibrates 3 times. Now ready you run the procedure to connect in download mode and reinstall your firmware.
You guys must have used cmd to flash nozomi-recovery.img?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, exactly. I used recovery-nozomi.img with CWM version 5.5.0.4 ... but I made a mistake in not installing SuperSU.

That's why I hate nozomi - recovery.img!
Nothing to worry... Happened to me too.
Use flashtool to reflash entire ftf(if you have ulbl) else use SEUS to repair (if you have lbl, I hate pcc!).
If lbl.... Then ulbl.
Use cmd to flash a custom kernel(don't use doom kernel its for gb).
Finished....
Thank... If helpful

Had a similar problem.. FIxed it with a lot of reading but now dnt remeber anymore :/
I'm having this problem too...
Almost everything is ready for flashing now, except the phone is not really turning off, even after 3 vibrates when holding down power and volume up... It turns off, but coming back in flash process!
That's how far I can go: It turns off, I hold down volume down, connect it to PC, have a green light. Flashtool see the phone, I push Flash button,Program gives "Device connected in flash mode" message, then "Selected Xperia s (LT26i)_WORLD_6,1,A,2,50_IT.flf" message, "Preparing files for flashing" message and "Device disconnected" message, because this stupid Recovery back on my screen again...
If I just can find the way to turn off my phone, so it's not come back to live when connected to PC...

Just wait for Flashtool to give error message (with phone picture and USB cable in it) and ask to reconnect device. Unplug device, press power button and volume up button until vibrate 3 times. Push volume down and plug usb cable, to get green light. Flashtool continue process from where it was broken.
Error message popped up not from first try, so hopefully this will be helpful to somebody...
Sorry for my english...
Many Thanks

You wrong section!
Xperia P, U, Sola, Go Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
I would like to give credit to everyone who has worked on the android roms, and other guides. I have taken some of the info for this guide from the WIKI
It seemed we were due for a friendly how to guide on how to load a NAND rom on a RHOD device. I decided to write a step by step guide to help people out. This guide does provide a very basic ADB setup, but it is just enough to get you up and running. If you want to do advanced things you should get the full ADB, and learn more about it.
This guide is written for a RHOD400, Android GBX0*+3.4.26 rom, and a Win7 pc, but should be almost identical for the rest of the RHOD family, other versions of Windows, and most other roms.
It is assumed that you have unlocked your phone for custom rom loading in the past at some point. This is not the same as unlocking the sim card. This is 100% required. Please read here and/or here, and/or here if you need help with unlocking your phone.
This guide assumes that you know what a command prompt is, how to load windows drivers for a device, and can open zip files. If these things are not within your skill sets I would recommend that you find someone who understands these things to assist you.
Things you need.
1. A RHOD phone.
2. A micro SD card that is at least 512mb in size.
Tip: I suggest a sd card that is less than 4gb in size. There tends to be less compatibility issues with non SDHC cards. SDHC cards usually work, but if you have trouble this is a good thing to change. The SD card does have to be less than 64gb in size as the phone can not read cards larger than 32gb.
3. A usb based micro sd card reader. A usb based card reader is need to be compatible with the HP format tool. Some built in ones are usb based others are not. If you have one, you can try it and see if it works. It is not recommended to use your phone's sd card reader for prep work.
4. A usb cable that is known to work. Test it in WM first. On rare occasion I have seen cables that did work with WM and not Android. If you have issues, this is also something good to swap out during trouble shooting.
5. A windows based pc. *DO NOT USE USB 3.0 PORTS* Many reports about have come in about them causing issues.
The procedure.
1. Back up anything you want to keep from your phone. Everything on the phone will be wiped during this process.
2. Put the micro sd card into your USB card reader and format with the HP format tool. It needs to be a full fat32 format. Windows format is known to have issues on occasion, and this step is a work around for that problem. It is not 100% required, but if you have trouble it is 100% required during trouble shooting.
3. While this is formatting you can download the recovery (recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img) ***It has been found that the 6.0.1.3 recovery does not make backups correctly, resulting in md5 errors. You may use it if you are not planning on using the backup feature, or the older one by acl works fine. You can rename it to use the included scripts if you wish.***, rom (GBX0*+3.4.26 Full) , the boot loader, the needed usb android drivers, and the adb files.Gapps is optional.
4. Make sure your battery is at least 50% charged. I recommend a 100% charge. A dead battery in the middle of flashing can brick your phone.
5. Copy the RHODIMG.NBH, rom (GBX0*+3.4.26 Full), and the gapps (optional) files to the sd card and put it in your phone with the phone turned off.
6. Press the hold down the volume down button while pressing the power button. This will bring up the tri colored screen. It will then automatically go to the white rom update screen.
7. Follow the directions (press the power button on the RHOD400) to start the update. This should take less than 1min.
Troubleshooting tip:
If the phone sits at loading 0%, and never moves after 10 min you may not have unlocked your phone or there is an issue with your RHODIMG file. Verify that you have unlocked your phone (you can try loading a WM custom rom), format the SD card, re-download the RHODIMG file, and try again. Also try another SD card and SD card reader.
8. If the phone reboots automatically, that is fine. Otherwise when the phone says Update Success you can pull the battery to shut it off.
9. Turn the phone back on. You should see a blue miniPooploader screen with a lot of white text scrolling for a moment. When it gets done, pull the battery to shut it off. Then replace the battery (it should still be off)
10. Connect the usb cable between the phone and the PC, and turn the phone on. The PC should see the device, and may or may not assign drivers to it.
11. Install the USB/fastboot driver for the phone. On Win 7 the phone showed initially as android device under other folder in the device manager. After the driver is installed it should be called My HTC.
12. Open the ADB Tools zip file, and put the platform-tools folder on c:\
13. Open a command prompt and go to c:\platform-tools\.
Once there type:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a response similar to this:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot devices
HT04TM300704 fastboot
If this is not working stop now and troubleshoot.
14. Now to wipe the phone in prep for loading (or reloading) the android rom.
There is a wipe.bat file I have included. You may run it, or you may type the following commands.
Code:
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot erase misc
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot erase cache
15. Place the recovery (recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img) file into c:\platform-tools.
16. Now load the recovery image. If it is named recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img you may use the reload_recovery.bat or type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img
to load the recovery image then
Code:
fastboot boot recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img
to boot the recovery image.
17. Install the rom.
Using the volume keys highlight 'Install zip from sdcard' then press the call button to select it.
Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard' and press the call button to select it.
Highlight the rom file (GBX_3.4.26_Full.zip) and press the call button to select it.
Highlight yes and press the call button to select it.
The rom will now install. This will take a few minutes.
18. (optional) Install Gapps.
Using the volume keys highlight 'Install zip from sdcard' then press the call button to select it.
Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard' and press the call button to select it.
Highlight the gapps file (probably gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip) and press the call button to select it.
Highlight yes and press the call button to select it.
Gapps will now install. This will take a few minutes.
19. Press the back arrow, and select reboot system now.
The phone should reboot into the Android rom now. It will take about 10min the first time. If you have waited more than 30 something has gone wrong. You should troubleshoot and try again.
At this point you have the basics all in place, and can start using your phone.
If you want to do basic ADB tasks (along the lines of installing apps remotely/side loading or pushing/pulling files) you will need to install the adb windows driver.
20. Press the thanks button if you liked this guide.
P.S.
If you have issues getting adb to work later, download and use USBDeview.exe to remove the HTC driver entries and then install pdanet for android to get the correct adb drivers installed.

Well if you have not listed all your trouble shooting steps, you will not get help from anyone. Our physic abilities are lacking these days.
Also posting specific questions in the thread about the rom you are trying to install will have a higher chance of getting useful feedback.

Well if you have done all necessary things, then your phone must not be compabtiable.
Maybe if you provided a list of your troubleshooting steps we might be of more help... Otherwise we have no choice, but to bow to your knowlage of having done all necessary things.

Thank you WizardKnight for replying me.
This is the steps i use to do.
1. I use RhodiumWUnlocker to unlock my rhod500 , to get any rom loaded with it
2. I copy RHODIMG.NBH, GBX_3.4.24_Full, recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3 all to my 4gb SDard
3. Vol- + PWR and phone turns to the tri color screen, then the phone started to load the image files
4. I press PWR butt to start the update, within a couple of seconds the phone update successfully
I press resest button for the phone to boot up to see if it will go to the fast boot screen.
But i was unlucky always the phone restart itself within some seconds.
This is my Prb

Sounds like you just need to flash CWM... the CWM recovery image doesn't go on your SD card, you flash that from your computer using the "fastboot flash" command...
You can also try "fastboot boot <recovery.img>" - w/o the < >. Remember, this is done on your computer. That's why you need the fastboot drivers...

You Mean This .
9. Turn the phone back on. You should see a blue miniPooploader screen with a lot of white text scrolling for a moment. When it gets done, pull the battery to shut it off. Then replace the battery (it should still be off)
My Phone doesn't bring this window

I have a rhod400. I have been messing with OMGB as my daily phone OS since July 2012 and just installed this one about a week ago.
I have two questions/issues
1) Every time I try to reboot, it freezes. When I try to power off, it sometimes freezes, but usually reboots.
2) I can't seem to make persistent changes to the hosts file. After every reboot, it's set to the same old generic "127.0.0.1 localhost"
During boot, does the OS unpack a .img or something with the hosts file packed inside it? If so, where is it?
Thanks, guys. Other than these 2 issues, this flavor of android for rhodium is pretty solid. i like it.

Please put rom specific questions in that rom's thread.
If you are running a newer than.27 kernel the reboot and power off functions do not work properly in any rom.
I believe that the host file is overwritten by the ram disk/boot.img on boot every time. Any changes will not stick.
There is a chance these issues may be fixed on the next release of GBX, but no promises.

Perhaps NAND is not for your device. Flash back to WinMo.

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.

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 ..

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.

Poweroff phone>connect usb cable to phone (not to computer yet)>hold down (both) volume up/volume down>connect usb to computer (while holding down volume buttons)

I edited my comment sorry...
My Dell venue 8 3830 stopped working yesterday. It started with the "com.google.process.gapps" process has stopped working", which is a common error that can be fixed. However, it kept coming up and it wouldn't go away. After a while, other apps started crashing as well. I restarted into safe mode, however it just booted into the normal OS. I wasn't able to wipe the tablet either. When i pushed the "erase everything" button, it wouldn't do anything. I was able to boot into recovery, and i hit the restore button. It then proceeded to try to reboot, then gave me an error screen with the text "No Command". I then plugged it into my PC, where it booted to a screen with a picture of a USB symbol with a white bar underneath. I unplugged it and now it wont boot. All it will do is flash that USB screen. I'm thinking the OS corrupted or the Hard Drive has started to fail. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Okay, this unbrick method will install 4.3 and change your splash screen to the "Intel Inside" one instead of the original Dell logo. I also believe you will have to root to update to 4.4.2 which will void your warranty. It's a last resort type solution.

I checked on the warranty I had and found out that it already expired, so voiding the warranty isn't a problem. How do I start the unbrick process?

before you do that, try to go into fastboot mode, by holding power and volume down
*make sure you device is unpluged
If that works you can select recovery, then hold volume up and power for a few seconds, and then you should be able to select wipe data

It took me a few tries to get the recovery menu to come up, but after I finally got it, it reset just fine. I've been able to set the tablet up and get a few apps installed without any problems. Thanks for both of your help!

If I'm not wrong
The recovery of the android lying is a stock recovery and only will let you install the developer edition, but is 4.3 and in my tablet sometimes the instalation fails.
If you want to install zip roms you need a custom recovery
If you don't have custom recovery an option is installing stock rom images from fastboot.
Hope this help you, even with bad English

I dont have developer edition nor custom recovery... what are stock rom images? how can I get them and what is the process?
You need to flash the files for your device from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51090040. First unzip the FLASHPKG, then flash the boot, recovery, system and fastboot. Then flash the two .bin files in the ifwi folder.

You need to flash the files in the bootloader via fastboot commands.
