Hi there flint, where did you get the ROM? And is it the European version? Please I beg you I need a link to download it as I got an ROM from the needrom website and it is the Chinese version which in turn messed up my camera software and no matter how many times I reinstall or clear data/cache or factory reset it, it just doesn't seem to work, even tried different galleries and cameras and moved them into /system/data. I was not being smart and did not do a backup and now I'm stuck with this issue. Please help.

Hi where did you buy your handset?.
Mine was from China hence it did work
Did you keep any screenshots to external sd card from when your handset was working (about phone build number etc ) page or at least did you keep a note of these details ?

Hi there, unfortunately I did not, bought the phone in South Africa. Build no was roughly W1003.6.03.... something along those lines. It was the most up to date version

[Q] Completely Dead :( !! Wont power-on!

I tried to root my phone using universal-androot and it was successful. After that i flashed clockworkmod recovery. And i thought of making a back-up of my current stock-ROM and there it was... my phone suddenly got blacked-out. Now i cant even turn-on my phone. I tried all the different possibilities like holding 'vol down+home+power', 'vol up+vol down+power', dint work .!! help me please
I was told that you can't backup stock roms using clockworkmod.
Can you turn the phone on in any mode? normal/download/anything else?
Nop !! can't do anything. Tried all the patterns.
did the phone do anything before it turned off? or did it just go blank?
Also, can you remember what clockworkmod was saying before it went blank? e.g. what processes it was undergoing?
I think the problem is with clockworkmod recovery. Coz while trying to flash the recovery, I was asked to select the phone model, but 'samsung galaxy 5' was not in the list, So i selected 'Huawei model' or something in order complete the installation! but still the installation was successful. And when i clicked 'Backup my current ROM' the phone suddenly got switched-off.
Were you trying to install the recovery from rom manager?
You need to install it via odin for the Galaxy 5.
Your phone probably needs a time+materials trip to the service centre.
Yeah, flashing that can't have done your phone any good Rom manager doesnt (yet) support our phone
have you tried firmware download mode?
remove your battery, put it back on
now press volume down, central select button and power.
keep holding till a yellow sign appears with android and a broom
now go to odin and flash CWM recovery or other rom.
madteam.co forum has lots of info about europas

It appears to me he did.
I had the same problem.
I removed the battery for 30 minutes, and removed the SIM. SIM removal was necessary.
Remove the SD Card too; it might help.

[Q] Vodafone Smart 2 (alcatel v860) stuck at boot logo

My apologies if this post is already started elsewhere (please guide me there if you can), but it seem the search is not possible today...
I rooted my brand new Vodafone Smart 2 and in order to free some memory I was moving some files from internal to SD card. Noticing a folder in the root called custpack (and thinking it was the specific folder Vodafone used for its teaking) I wanted to play around with it on my computer, but instead of copying it to SD card, I MOVED it... :0 At the first command the screen turned gray and the phone froze. I can turn it off now only by removing the battery. When it starts it can't go pass the android logo (boot image) and the screen turns gray. I know that Power button and Volume Down yield to Recovery menu, but my ROM is branded Vodafone Albania and they have removed that option. All I get is the option for factory reset (or I think that is what "All you data will be lost, Yes/No" means). Accepting that does restart the phone but still the same logo and gray screen afterwards.
Unfortunately, I can't install from SD due to this branded Vodafone AL ROM I have, and adb device command at the command prompt (DOS) does not recognize the phone (it did recognize before as I have the drivers loaded and Android SDK Tools).
Can someone help me either bringing the Recovery option to install from SD so I can try a complete flash of the original, or if there is any way I can have the adb recognise the device, or if there is any other way. I found a user here (Voda_Smart_2) that seemed to have the same problem and someone had said could help but only through PM. I tried to reply the thread so I could present my case, but as a newly registered I was not allowed to post on developers forums.
PLEASE HELP ME - For someone who uses a low-end phone like Vodafone Smart II option to buy a new one after ruining a new one is not possible....

Thank you for interest and concern for my situation! I know very well roeddie custom rom for VS2. I have actually installed version 0.9.1 as well as version 0.9.9 to some friends. I have the undestanding that the AIO he uses requires that the phone be recognized by the PC (adb devices does not list anything in my case). However, I'll give it a try and let this forum know if roeddie AIO flasher (OTA update 3) does install without the need for PC to recognize the android phone.
Thanks,
Don

Yes, I still have a problem with my VS2/V860 - stuck at boot logo without fastboot. I can't seem to find a way how to get it recognized. Can you help me? It would be really helpful since now my brother has the same problem after trying to flash latest roeddie mod (June 1, 2013).

Thanks for your consideration! My problem is that my phone is not recognized in fastboot mode by the computer. I have installed Android SDK and updated regularly. Without fastboot (see bullet no. four following your link) I can not do anything Alberto96 suggest.
Any other insight?

tnx in advance!
Vodafone Smart 2 device can't start code 10 error
I have the same problem any help..?
dead battery is the answer
well guys if anyone of you still use this device; a possible fault that causes infinite boot logo screen is dead battery. Actually the controller board of the battery gets shorted causing a stable 1.7v output instead of 3.8~4.2v and refuses to charge even pushing power to it from an external power supply. Thats why the phone stucks on logo; it is the same reaction to connecting the phone to the charger without a battery... what you have to do is to find a used or a new battery (if it's still worth to do so...)

Thanks for the suggestion! It is not a problem of battery, as I have tried with two other batteries from friends' V860. Plus, if it is a board circuit then it does not matter if the we change the battery, unless with 'board' you mean the way batteries are connected inside the battery pack.
Thanks once again! Your answer is much appreciated! Keep them coming if you think about something else. I still have this phone, just for because I like to know what was the problem or how to overcomes such situations in the future.

No service after flashed jelly blast

Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.

Kogan Agora firmware download

Hi.
A college of mine gave Me its grandchild phone to take a look. It was a gift from father (divorced couple) and it is full(was) whit viruses. System crashes all the time, Kingroot and SuperSu whit god knows what else and I think that OS is damaged. Factory reset didn't help as I did it from recovery menu. On first boot phone didn't boot and hang on boot animation. After pulling battery and inserting it back phone booted in main screen whit all it issues again.
My question is can someone know where I can find firmware for this phone and how to flash it? I can't find it anywhere because phone look China generic and is Australian Operator branded. Model Nr is khphn05anda. Even some custom ROM would be fine whit ok performance as phone will be used for games only.

I dumped FW and cleaned up it myself whit multiple antivirus programs and after that system seems to be clean and working fine. It was a while ago so don't ask how to flash this. I believe You have to install custom recovery.

Galaxy Tab S6 SM-T865N using Odin To flash other country firmware on it

Hello,
I've purchased a Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T865N) International version, mainly to use it with with 4G in US on Xfinity Mobile. I received the tablet, inserted the SIM card and it was working 'relatively' on the network. Every now & then I would get a message 'failed to register to network', but for the most part, mobile data is working.
Since it is a Korea version, certain things don't work. Nothing major, but I would like to make it perfect. Certain User update posts in the Galaxy store display in Korean Language, and the weather app is slightly limited, with the error 'not available outside of Korea'.
I did some searching and found other firmware available for this exact model on Sammobile. My country (US) is not supported, but I would like to try the UK firmware, if nothing else, to fix some of the language issues. I downloaded the UK firmware package and Odin (3.13 & 3.14.1). I installed the Samsung drivers. I booted the tablet into recovery by holding 'power & volume up' then connected it to the computer. Odin WILL NOT found the tablet. I rebooted into the normal OS and connected it and Odin then found it, but obviously that doesn't work. I can not get Odin to connect while in recovery.
Does anyone have suggestions on what might be happening?
And maybe all this effort isn't worth it either, hard telling whether it'll work better or worse with the UK firmware on it. Any tips?
It's been several years since I did this sort of thing, so I'm a little rusty. I thought this would be a simple procedure.
it sounds to me like you are not putting it into download / Odin mode, but I could be wrong. I haven't tried to use Odin on this tablet yet, but was actually about to do this same thing as well, as my device has an origin CSC of singapore, and hasn't had an official update in almost 2 months, so I was going to flash the UK version as well.
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------
So I just tested it on my tablet, here is what you need to do:
Power off the device
Press and hold the Volume up button and then press and hold the power button
When you see the initial boot screen, release the power button, but keep holding volume button
When you get to the recovery screen, you need to use the volume up / down buttons to highlight the option that has "bootloader" in the title, and press the power button to select it.
Then you should see a screen that says "Download" or something like that.
Plug in USB, and Odin should see the device.
Yeah, you're booting into recovery, you need to boot into Download mode - Hold both volume up and down whilst inserting the USB-C cable to enter Download mode.
Your correct

Your Correct. Device needs to be plugged into the pc for it to boot to the screen that shows all the info. I wonder why they made this a requirement. Its very unintuitive. I also didn't see it documented anywhere. How did you find out about this ? Thanks again for the help!

You wouldn't happen to have that firmwire file handy / a way to share it online would you? Sammobile's free download server is down right now, and I was going to try to flash it this weekend.

Did you able to flash that firmware on your tablet?
IF you mean did I succeed in flashing it through Odin then yes BUT unfortunately I couldn't get it to reboot correctly & it takes a lot of time trying to reboot but still no luck. So, I took it to a repair shop & they told me it needs new motherboard !! How can this be even possible IF I still can get it to connect to Odin and download the firmware successfully BUT no luck in getting it to reboot correctly!!

Have you tried reflashing the old firmware of your country? Weird that its not working.
I did try that and managed to flash it successfully to the old firmware using Odin but unfortunately I still couldn't get it past a full reboot as it got stuck after a long time and it takes me to the Android System Recovery screen wherein also tried to 'wipe cache partition.’ and try reboot again but I still end up with the recovery screen!

Can't you put in a warranty claim ? Here where i am based i had a new battery, and new screen installed from samsung! this was a Galaxy S8+ was well over 2 years old they did it for free! New screen and new battery! My Note 9 is going this monday for a new battery my Tab S6 works flawlessly so don't need to send that in! but i'm sure if you ring up Samsung they will replace the motherboard for free as it's not even 12 months old!
