Need help on installing original ROM on Ascend D1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I sincerely appreciate anyone who can help me to install the original ROM back to my Japanese Ascend D1 (HW-01E).
I have download the original ROM. But I get stuck as following instruction on recovery from other sites and forums does not work.
I got the phone cheap from China and the Chinese store install CWM recovery and a Chinese ROM on it...and
I am left without a SD card
Some site mentions connecting the phone to PC and it would install some drivers but nothing happen.
I manage to get the recovery screen of CWM recovery but I get the original ROM not as a zip file. It ends with .app. Some site mention a tool that extracts from the app file but again the extracted files cannot be installed with the install from zip option. So I guess install from zip does not work for the original ROM.
Some site mentions that I can do a factory reset and connect the phone to PC without a battery to get a fastboot by pression power on and volume down. I try it without the factory reset and it does not do a fastboot.
What to do...I need help....

[Q] Problem with my P500! Any Idea?

Hello, my P500 is not detectable any more by any computer.
The usb charging is working but cannot be detected as a hardware.
I had this problem since I bought the phone. Once in a while my Optimus One was not detected by my computer, but I though is a driver related problem. Now is a permanent problem, no matter I do I cannot connect the phone to the computer. I made some research on the internet, inlcuding this forum a lot, and I found that is a hardware problem and I must return it to warranty!
Here comes my second problem:
I rooted the phone. I need to remove any trace of rooting to return it to warranty, but how?
My phone has a 2.3.3 version of Android and I rooted with the following method (the only one has worked for me): I downloaded su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and install it using clockwork mode -> Install zip function! After that a SUPERUSER icon apeared on my applications but not a removal possibility!
I tried to delete de apk file using Root Explorer, but it says that is a protected program!
Is there any way to install a new firmware from the SD card? I have clockwork recovery instaled on the phone. Is there any way I can write a firmware from SD with any recovery software? How?
If is not possible, how can I remove the Superuser and make it ready to send it back to warranty?
Thanks!
Ok, I found a way to remove Superuser. I installed GingerBreak and choose the Unroot option! Is simple, but is strange because my phone cannot be rooted with this software, only unrooted!
However I ended up with another problem! How do I remove Clockwork mode? I tried to flash some "so-called" recovery.img for my phone but not a chance!
I rooted back my phone to have a better control. Any idea on how do I remove clockwork mod? I don't have a back-up image of my original ROM or something.
i think you can just flash back stock recovery, which should be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
Well I tried the link above before, but is not working. When I power up the phone pressing Home+Volume down is still loading cloackwork recovery 3.1.0.0
I downloaded the img from the link above, writen with the write zip from clockwork mode, but still not working.
What should I do?
Flash Kdz file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
Man I cannot flash KDZ with any computer! I told you, my phone cannot be connected to any computer. My computer cannot see the phone and install the drivers! I checked on 3 computers! I need a KDZ install from SD Card, is such thing possible?

[Q] Stuck at boot logo after root

Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.

I cannot reset my phone with recovery(it no works) and with restore by settings (it not works).
So i tryed to put with flashtool original recovery of the link. IT NOT WORKS. aaa i'm going crazy
I have made before change recovery a backup but i don't know where is it on sd. What can i do????:laugh:
Sorry for my bad english
The backup is in .backup and it is only of user data. Now if someone give me help or his recovery image..
I want only wipe all data or install su. Please help without my Android i'm lost:crying:
Si there a way to wipe without recovery nor settings?
Finally i ve found my stock ROM. I can flash it with spflashtool bit i m scared if brick my phone. I want only chance recovery. I ve re ad that multi port is good for this. Here si the rom http ://

Can you boot into fastboot mode? Because if you can try flashing the stock recovery for your phone from there

Samsung S3 error on installing custom rom and now can't run my backup

Hi,
I have a samsung S3 and I want to update it to lollipop or above as my nexus 5 has started randomly rebooting and I need a phone to use whilst I sort a replacement.
I have been following this guide: wccftech.com/install-aosp-android-5-1-1-lollipop-on-galaxy-s3/ as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this custom rom business.
I have rooted the device and installed clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.2. and copied over the rom and the gapps file to my phone.
I then booted into recovery mode and made a backup of the current setup.
I then did the factory reset and the cache wipe(s) and installed the new zip for lollipop and then the gapps.
This is where I received an error "E: Error in /sdcard/0/0/0/Download/gapps-lp-20150314.zip (status 7) installation aborted".
I figured that I should restore to my backup now but when I press it, the app says that files can't be found.
I can see that the files that I backed up do exist but they appear to have been dumped inside a new directory called /0/0/0 (I think this has got three levels because I've tried this a few times).
Now I can't boot into an OS to get any other roms on the phone and I can't edit the files on there (I googled and saw a possible fix for the gapp status 7) and I can't get clockworkmod to recognise an external SD card so I can copy over a new rom or file to try (I have googled and it's suggested the FAT32 is the format for this phone and my size of SD card (16GB)).
Can anyone offer me some advice on how to get out of this situation?
Thanks
Sounds like you're at a place where you should start exploring using your computer instead of a recovery in order to fix your system.
I recommend using the PC software Odin and installing a stock ROM of your device. (Or perhaps using fastboot)
There's plenty of guides on how to use Odin both here on XDA and on the rest of the internet if you just look around a bit
EDIT: This link contains a (possible) fix for your problem.

Don't use cwm as it is an outdated recovery. Use twrp instead.

I had a look at the link you suggested and it's one of the suggestions that had come up whilst I was googling for a fix. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to get the updated script onto the phone as the phone isn't picked up by my pc whilst it's in this state, and I can't get the recovery tool to recognise the sd card so I can't put it on there either.
I'll take a look at the stock rom or fastboot option and see if I can get back into the phone. Maybe then I can apply the fix in the suggested post.
Thanks

I'll see if I can install twrp through odin.
Thanks for your help
If the phone works in download mode, try to flash a stock rom too.
Update - fixed
Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I fixed the device with the combined advice from here:
I installed TWRP after holding the volume down + power + home buttons and then pressing volume up when the message appears (I can't remember what this mode is called). I then flashed the device with the TWRP image.
After this I rebooted into the TWRP recovery mode (Volume up + home + power and then release power button when the samsung logo appears).
At this point, the device appeared on my windows machine so I could upload a new image to the internal memory.
I decided to copy on CM13 and GApps.
I then wiped the cache, system, data, and davik cache using TWRP, then I installed CM13 and GApps.
After a reboot the device came back up as a new install.
Hopefully that information may be useful to somebody.
Thanks for all your help
