My phone is lava iris 455(MTK6577 chipset). So, I put a custom ROM yesterday, but it was laggy so I decided to go back to stock. I had CWM recovery installed. I used SP flash tools to flash the original ROM,but after a purple bar came, the PC just froze. Everytime, the same thing happened.
I used the ROM from this link-[FIRMWARE]LAVA Iris 455 Official Jellybean 4.1.1 Firmware and everywhere on the net its the same firmware.
And my CWM recovery is gone as well;only a black screen comes up for a few seconds and then it switches off. I can't boot to recovery too.
I tried installing CWM recovery through SP flash tools, but it gave me an error saying that the handset doesn't support DRAM(didn't happen the first time I installed recovery which was yesterday).
So, what do you guys think the problem is? Is it hard bricked? My PC does recognise the phone though. Any help is appreciated.
ANyone ?
ANyone??
Dear friend it seems to me that your phone is hard bricked, as it is not booting in first boot where cwm is installed,
If it passes first boot and then struck is called soft brick which can be overcome by flashing ROM via recovery
As recovery is installed in first boot
Now as per your description it is hard bricked and you have to repair your boot
For that you have to contact person who has octopus or octoplus box it's boot to be repaired, it might cost you somewhere around 1000 rupees in india search for boot Repairing shop who have octopus box
You can Google it to find dealer Near you who have octopus box

One more thing, use PC for flashing cwm only, as it's really dangerous to flash rom or firmware from PC as if PC struck it will corrupt your phone,
Before fishing any rom via cwm please sure to take nandroid backup as the backup taken by cwm can easily be restored if some mishap occurs while flashing rom
Always use NANDROID BACKUP to restore phone to original

Which will be better?
So can you suggest which method will be better - sending it to the service centre or using your method? I bought the phone for about 7000 INR, so can you give an estimate which process will be cheaper?
Well, with SP flash tools, preloader and DSP_BL files were installed successfully. But now my PC is freezing while installing the other files. SP flash tools is stuck at Downloading Flash 0% . Any suggestions?
Why u using sp flash tool, or any other third party software, or using PC for rom purpose,
You should try cwm for all purposes like, flashing rom, to install su binary, to take firmware backup or to restore nandroid backup,
Well in case of hard brick you have to do it by octopus box, sending service center is costly affair,
Send it to good mobile Repairing person who has sound knowledge of software hacking and firmware too and who has, octopus box with him

My device is allright now. Probably there was some problem with drivers(maybe because I have an AMD CPU). Used friend's laptop, worked perfectly.
Ok then but still i recommend cwm for all rom related activities

Ok, so I was about to install custom ROM to a unrooted SGS2 phone, I didn't have a computer so I decided to root my phone installing cwm.zip through stock recovery and then installing su and busybox via cwm. then I backed everything up, downloaded a custom ROM with a custom kernel and cwm touch recovery with it. I went to stock recovery again and installed cwm.zip to get to cwm recovery and first made a nandroid backup and then installed the custom ROM. It turned off while it was on aroma installer and now it doesn't go on. Is it bricked? is there anything I can do?

If you can get to download mode or recovery then try flashing the from again
Preferably use Odin by getting to download mode

I can't get anywhere.. and I assume I can't do anything even if I get it plugged on a computer? if it doesn't go to Odin or stock recovery or no where at all what are my chances? bricked I guess. BTW will anyone at Samsung know that I tried flashing my phone if I take it to be fixed? I mean if it doesn't go on, don't they have to replace everything and they would never even know that i tried to flash it?

You soft-bricked it maybe...
Did you try booting up your phone pressing the POWER + HOME + VOL UP keys? If it boots into recovery, then just do a nandroid restore...
If you're just concerned with bringing the phone back to life... Boot up your phone pressing POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN keys. It will show you a green n' black menu, then press VOL UP. It will then show an Android robot with "downloading" written below. Now just connect it to your PC (I hope you already installed drivers for S2) and start ODIN. (Make sure KIES is off)
Use a .tar.md5 or .tar(or any other format) file(or files depending on your firmware) and put it in the respective box. Leave the tickboxes as they are and DO NOT use a .pit file AND DON'T TICK repartition.
Click start flash and your phone should boot up on the stock ROM again!
Just trying to help you!

where can I get a USB jig? I don't know if my motherboard is broken, it doesn't turn on at all, screen stays off what ever I press. and even if a put the charger in. in the evening I will have a computer and I can connect it to my PC but I assume that there is nothing I can do anyways because I can't just turn the phone on. I was trying to install a custom ROM with a temporary CWM recovery. didn't have cwm yet installed but I assumed it will be installed at the same time I install the rom because it included it. so if I have hard bricked my phone and I take it to be repaired, will they see I have tried to flash the phone? will it be fixed with guarantee?

Yes I'm sure I was installing a right ROM meant for my phone. The resurrection remix 3.0.9 for I9100. this is what I did exactly.
1. went to stock recovery
2. installed CWM.zip from external SD card.
3. Got into temporary CWM recovery and then made a nandroid backup with success.
4. tried to wipe data but got stuck and rebooted my phone. It was now stuck in the galaxy logo.
5. I went to stock recovery again to install CWM.zip and this time I straight installed the resurrection remix and I got into Aroma installer and everything went fine until on 50% the phone turned off and now doesn't go on.
P.S. I was still on Stock ROM and kernel and recovery when trying to do this. Was using a temporary CWM recovery to install a custom ROM and kernel. I had root access already.
P.S2 I put the charger in and it doesn't even show the battery icon, nothing. and yes the camera is getting hot. Is it a hard brick / dead brick or what ever you call it? if I take it to guarantee, will they fix it or will they be able to see that I damaged my phone myself? thanks
P.S3 can the USB jig work on this problem also?

If it soft bricked i think JTAG will help you
But if not try this:
Try to change battery MAYBE THAT HELP i don't now i gueses(Sorry bad english) i don't know really
Try this:
Step one would be the Jig
Step two would be a paid for JTAG repair
Step three would be a paid for service centre repair
And try to get out battery for about 1 hour

How the going with the phone ?
Was it on a 4.0.4 ROM? Did you check if it has a bad chip? ie. is susceptible to the emmc bug before flashing?
That could possibly be the cause, although I cant be sure now unless you have her stock rom/kernel details. And if it is, I'm sorry but AFAIK theres no solution to that yet.
Do try getting hold of a USB jig and trying your luck with that first, though.
Hope it works out :fingers-crossed:
Did you try to wipe ANYTHING on stock 4.0.4 kernel ? if you did, then you've been afected by the emmc brickbug and there's no other way to fix it other than replacing the entire motherboard.
Did you try to put your device in download mode (pressing the power button, home button and volume down key) ? If you can get into it, flash a stock rom and problem solved.
Can you enter recovery mode ?
Next time you try to get cwm, just flash siyah and you'll get the whole package (permanent cwm + root + plenty of features) and only after that try to wipe and install custom roms
@Poroto
HE SAID HE CAN"T GO ANYWHERE.
So it's can be Hardbrick or like (Ram's or CPU or Video card is broken) MAYBE
Because i had i problem with CPU it's can't go anywhere it was problem with CPU
I was reflashing back to stock firmware gingerbread 2.3.6 from eryigits due to its massive slowdown from its initial install. But then after flashing the stock firmware it boot looped so i thought maybe there was something wrong with the partitions and loaded what I got from another thread. But then the progress bar in Odin wasn't moving at all so I terminated odin and opened another instance similarly it didn't progressed. I plugged off my ygp and rebooted only meet a cellphone logo and a computer logo with an exclamation mark unpleasantly called black screen of death. Is this what they call a brick?

No, this screen is the forced download mode also called lucky brick. So while you are on this screen the player should be detected as it is in download mode. So you should be able to flash your rom.
Just flash the rom in odin again see post above me
if it bootloops again format the device in recovery mode
There is a way to fix this.
I was flashing STOCK GB 2.3.6, because i didn't like Erygit's rom, and i got the bootloop too.
The bootloop was caused by the fact i didnt do a Factory data reset, and when i did it, i rebooted from Recovery and the Stock ROM booted.
Just do a factory reset from recovery, it should work.
Thanks for the swift replies and sorry for my late reply as well! Thanks alot for your recommendations. I haven't been able to touch my ygp for awhile due to school. But I'll surely try out everything suggested. Btw I kind of already reflashed the stock gb rom it bootlooped after so I pretty much didn't have a cwm recovery. But I'll try flashing it in a while! Thanks again! ^_^
So my friend has possible soft brick?
The s2 has been fine with root/ROMs/cwm but was struggling to flash a working kernel. In the process he has formatted everything in mounts... In clockwork. The s2 booted fine for awhile then froze/crashed. After that its been boot looping. Went in to clockwork, wiped and reboot to loop again. Went back to stock via Odin... Xda's leaded ICS I think not GB.
Booted OK for around an hour... Couldn't install clockwork via app or stock recovery... Couldn't flash ROMs ... Came back as failed to mount efs!
Still looping tho clockworck can be installed via Odin.
Once installed cwm ROM will flash but freezes on boot image. Tried wipes and reboot but no different.
Beginning to struggle with what options our knowledge allows. Any help would be much appreciated.

Back to stock via Odin/download mode to get a 'clean slate' (Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it in Odin).
That is what we have tried about four times but still the same problem... No IMEI and can't mount efs.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
so by now we have managed to flash stock GB (orange carrier) (original sate)
now we cannot root the phone, each time it comes back as failed.
using odin3 and cf auto root as always.
if anyone could lighten up the path for us on rooting the device? we may be able to work on restoring it to a working order.
we have read many guides/walkthroughs and all suggest sg11-repair, but not being able to root for ktool is the problem.
are we missing something obvious out with over thinking?
2 days hard web searching and programme after programme of empty attempts to repair the IMEI.
Is it failing at the Odin/flash stage, or is it going through as pass in Odin, but when you boot the phone it isn't rooted ? If it's the first one, yeah it's almost always something small/obvious when Odin doesn't work (unless the phone is borked). If that's the case, try the following troubleshooting steps:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google, don't use V3 - try V1.3, then V1.8)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Reason for doing this is drivers on PC side might be borked. Uninstalling/reinstalling Kies often fixes this.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps. Still won't work ? User error or borked phone; return to service centre.
If it's passing in Odin but not rooting, forget CFRoot & maybe try flashing the Odin build of Siyah compatible with the Android version currently on the phone (have a look at the Siyah threads to work out which version you need).
OK thank you... Will try today or tomorrow. Will post results thanks for the help

You're welcome. Post in this thread again if you have any problems.
So, we have rooted, got data but no calls or SMS. The imei has been replaced with a generic one as the original was blank. He has made an efs back up as of now in a half working fashion. But clearly the original must be restored to make calls send SMS etc..
If he flashes via Odin back to stock will the work we have done, un-do?
Obviously no root no ktool no gsII repair.
And a reinstall and update of keis sorted out the bad flashes on Odin from earlier.

Hi all before I get flamed I did not brick a tablet without having a cwm installed first and a nandroid backup. However I am trying to help someone who has. The tablet is an allwinner a23 not in some peoples opinion worth a lot of effort to fix. We have an identical tablet with the same firmware. If I root and install a custom recovery on the unbricked tablet can that zip be flashed without a custom recovery? I have looked about a bit and there seems to be conflicting opinions on this. The only prob I can see is the stock recovery may not have the option to wipe the dalvik cache.

I think the answer to why not flash a custom recovery is best known to himself. Fastboot doesn't seem to be working and apparently never has so trying to push cwm is no longer an option I guess there is not much to lose by trying to flash a zip file. If it doesn't work well he will learn a valuable life lesson.

I just found this app which says it can take a nandroid backup without recovery mode its called online nandroid backup from the play store. Its not compatible with all devices but worth a shot. If you root the other tablet then install titanium backup. Backup all apps and data on the second tablet then factory reset it. Install online nandroid backup and take the backup and flash it to the problem tablet. Then restore the titanium backup to get all apps and settings back. Doesn't get adb working but it may just sort the ROM

Download this and see if it picks up your device..https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e+now&pcampaignid=APPU_88oqU6fgCoqy2QXhzIC4Bw it seems like drivers for adb and your tablet are not installed/installed properly

OK let me start by saying none of this is risk free. That being said I don't think this will brick your wife's tablet.
You need to take a NANDROID backup of your wife's tablet this is what you are going to flash onto your tablet.
This is where titanium backup comes into it. In order to preserve your marriage you will need to give your wife her tablet back without wiping it.
The Nandroid backup would be best if you did it just after a factory reset this is not essential but would help eliminate risks.
So in order of how to do this:
Root your wife's tablet using the method used to root yours in the first place.
Take a TITANIUM backup of your wife's tablet. This will preserve all her apps and data. To restore at the end of the process.
Now perform a factory reset. Download and install online nandroid backup from the play store.
Run the Nandroid backup. If this works you should now have a full nandroid backup of your ROM.
Flash the backup to YOUR tablet and wipe the cache if all goes well the tablet should now boot.
Now restore the TITANIUM backup to your wife's tablet to restore her apps and data.
This will not remove the root from her tablet if you want to remove root access from her tablet then we can go through that later
These instructions are correct to the best of my knowledge I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet

Forgot to mention nandroid backup doesn't produce a flashable zip I'm looking into how to convert it there is a lot of conflicting opinions but it can be done alternatively you may be able to flash the boot.img file from livesuite or phoenixusb I don't know as I have not used them

Captain ,is desaster...bad news. today i was at service again,and told technician about youre advice with online nandroid backup. I pick up my whife tablet ( she dont no that) and go to service with booth tablet and try many variants. One of them it was this with nandroid you told me , and surprise...NOOT WORKING !!!! The program it stop and reboot the tablet because dont reconize the model type. All the variants we try on service ,fail because model unkown.We try and flash many firmwares (diffrent firmwares) the same... all fails,we have diffrent errors after install .Example:1- firmware flashed- everything ok,the tablet boot wellcomme scren BUT no camera function,no g sensor (rotate screen chaotic up and down) 2-FW flashed, the same...all ok ,booting...i have camera ok but- NO WIFI this time, and g sensor again is chaotic .and so on ...every FW i try on service has the own errors because is not for this model is jus from closer model ...so ..no luck to repair the tablet at all. The technician say to me to let the tablet one more day to try the last 3 FW he has...if is not working with those...is game over (( sad moment I hope the chinesse sailor who asamble this type of tablet on the ship to have the same faith like Titanic . This tablet is killing me. About nandroid online backup, i get it full, and i tested on my mobile phone...work like charm on the phone..it s perfect but on the tablet .. no way . Me is ...very sad
Sorry to hear that. If you have no adb and the nandroid app won't work then I think that is the end of the line I can't think of any other way to pull the firmware off a device and use it on another device. Time for a new tablet I think. Next time round go for one that has some developer support or at least one that you can find the firmware for.

with nandroid we copy the rom, he make an backup but after this ,it mush be flashed on tablet, but...how to flash if the tablet dont have option for flashing a FW ... and with the soft from service cant flash because dont reconize model type... so.... end of the line for my tablet i think. My last solution is to tell the service tehnician, to put a rom woth working camera and wifi at list... and after this to search for a patch for g sensor fix or to modify g sensor values from build-prop file ... that s the best solution i have in this moment (((((
