Hello everyone, I have a problem with Bell sgs2 and I'm from Ukraine,so please sorry for my English.
A little bit of history: my sister from Canada closed her contract with bell and sent me the phone. As it turned out, device was still locked, so I tried to download the latest firmware and make unlock. Firstly I tried to unlock the phone running Android 2.3.3 with custom kernel by using galaxy_S unlock app, it was succesful, but I wanted latest firmware and tried to flash different unofficial ROMs. Every time I did it nothing happened because of different errors.
Problem starts here:
Then installed rooted official ROM Android ICS with Odin and noticed that in Kies there was an update for my device. Tried to install it, but it failed when the phone was in download mode (because of damaged usb cable maybe). In Kies they wrote that I should disconnect device and take out battery. I did it.
Now when I turn it on it stops on Samsung logo. I still can open download mode or stock recovery, which is great. But the problem is that Odin doesn't recognize the phone anymore while it is in download mode. Tried to uninstall,install drivers - nothing happened. The good thing is that I can see my phone with adb when it is in recovery, tried to install some zips from sideload or external sd card - nothing happened ( Error, status 7). So basically I can't install official md5 ROM from sammobile because of Odin and can't find normal zips for recovery.
Please help Will be grateful!!!

Recently I have tried to root my Samsung Galaxy 3 7.0 (SM-T210R) WiFi edition. After unsuccessfully attempting to install a custom rom, I believe I have accidentally deleted the stock rom for the device..So now, whenever I turn the device on, it automatically brings me to CWM recovery. I have tried to install a different rom onto the device unsucessfully, giving me an error saying "format() expects 5 args, got 4" It also says (Status 7). I have also tried to connect my device to my computer and hook it up to Odin, but Odin does not recognize the device. If anybody is able to resolve my issue I would greatly appreciate it.

I can not do either of those methods, because my computer no longer recognizes this device when I plug it in.

Hello
I bought a Lenovo p780 from a Chinese website 6 months ago (4gb), rooted.
I faced a problem with the signal of sim cards "invalid imei", so I tried to install TWRP recovery using a tutorial I saw online to use the recovery to install a new "modem" file. I used Mobileuncle app to do this but this step caused my phone to enter a bootloop, and the only way to get rid of this loop is to press the reset button whenever you want to turn the phone on! I tried to install other recoveries using Mobileuncle but nothing has changed too!
I also tried to flash a stock rom using sp flashtool but it just didn't work!! I tried many stock roms versions and many versions of the flash tool programs but when I press "firmware upgrade" or "download" nothing happens! believe me I tried everything to make this happen, I even tried to do this on different computers (win 7 and win 8.1) but I got the same result: nothing! No need to mention that I've already installed all the USB drivers on my computers. I read every single word in every single tutorial I found (including tutorials from this forum), but it's always the same failure!
I tried to change the modem file using Root Explorer but I missed with some folders and now even the Wifi doesn't work. All I need now is get my phone functions as normal with stock rom or with a custom rom.
I would be very appreciated if you can tell my what's wrong and why I can't flash a rom to my phone although it's not bricked at all and I can turn it on!
So, I own 2 devices with custom ROMs all flashed onto them. (One is running Android 4.4.2 and another is runing 5.0.2)
So, I decided to take an old GT-i9100G and attempt to flash Android 5.0 onto it.
Unfortunately, the CWM recovery that was installed was unstable, and would result in a reboot back into the ROM. I attempted to flash another recovery with Odin, but that bricked the phone on startup. I reflashed another kernel and it booted up fine, but restarts randomly, making it unusable for more than a few minutes.
So, I've downloaded the stock firmware from SamMobile, and tried flashing it, but for some reason, Odin flat out refuses to detect the phone. Even if it's in normal or download mode. I tried the Samsung USB cable and even the one that came with my LG G3. No dice. USB debugging is enabled too.
Any help is much appreciated. I really want to bring this phone up to date as it's the first Android phone I've ever used and it holds a special place in my heart.
Also, I flashed an Android 5.0.2 ROM to my GT-i9300 not too long ago, so USB drivers are updated.

Hi , try to put your phone into Download mode , and use latest Odin version in order to re-flash the latest stock version of OS if you are note sure which one is , just send me 7 and 8 number from imei ...
Thank you for your answer, I managed to fix my phone by flashing the latest firmware. I was downloading it from a website and it turns out it wasn't the last one.
After I looked on different site, I went on sammobile and I downloaded the latest version, It took me one entire day, the download speed was slow AF and my internet connection crashed in the middle of it.
I had to ask a friend to download it at his place and then, bring it to me.
I'm really happy, I managed to fix it.
People, I have a real challenge on my hands and barely have any experience with Android so I must ask for some help. I’ll try to describe as short as possible.
- Girlfriend’s Tab A6 was working fine and suddenly was bricked. Don’t ask me how..
- USB Debugging is disabled and OEM Locked
- Simple methods to unbrick failed so I wanted to flash to stock with Odin. But Odin doesn’t play nice with my Surface Pro 7. (keeps failing at writing system.img) All I can do is flash stock recovery. Heimdall is not working properly either. Yes I use the correct stock firmware, tried different Odin versions etcetera..
- Samsung Smart Switch (and Kies) software does not recognize the tablet so can’t do emergency recovery there.
Now I only have access to download mode and stock recovery. Locked bootloader and no way to unlock it (?). If I could flash CWM I could install stock firmware via SD card but it seems like I am stuck.
Yes use a different PC ofcourse probably would work but this is not so easy for me to arrange.
Is there any other way? Been reading and trying things for 2 days but maybe I am missing something?
