Hi,
I just tried the rooting method using Kingroot, but the phone got soft-bricked and stays in endless loop after the vodafone logo.
I already booted into stock recovery and did a factory reset, but the problem subsists, so i am desperate for a STOCK rom (kingroot must have messed up some files ... )
I have a V895N-2GVDPT1 (Vodafone Portugal)
-- EDIT --
I have found the KERNEL SOURCE under the "Open Source Code" here: http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/about/what/devices/smartprime6.html !!!
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
How You use that source code for reinstall the system?
I bricked the phone...
Can you boot to fastboot/download mode?
Try to use ADB to restore the stock ROM files, unfortunately I don't know where to find the stock ROM files
Sent from my VF-895N using XDA Free mobile app
Please help

Hi,
sorry to read that, actually I got this phone from a friend who lost mine (here in Czech Republic) and I did root it, but I saw that many people had problem after rooting so I un-rooted and at the moment it's working properly... I think there is also this "Purify" maybe it did mess with the rom uninstalling things or who knows what...
I hope you find the way to restore the software...

Useful information for anyone that cant get the phone to go to QDL mode
I tried the unbrck method above and could not get it to work as windows did not detect any com port.
after some mucking around i found if you cant get into QDL mode as needed you have to:
Open your phone. (have to unscrew phone)
Remove battery.
Connect usb cable.
Short the test point next to the sim card holder to ground.
Insert battery.
Windows detects phone.
Remove short from test point.
Proceed with unbrick
Hope this helps
Chris
could you explain in more detail how you shorted the phone please iv bricked my v895n

If you try to root with KingRoot, works. But follow the next steps:
-reboot your phone into recovery mod using POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP BUTTON
-next select english using POWER BUTTON
-next select "WRITE PROTECT SWICH" and select "set write protect off"
-now reboot your phone and start the KingRoot and Root.
-Now your device is rooted.
I need a stock ROM so badly. I removed some system apps I don't use but now I can't update.
Here's the log:

Baseband: E120L.EL.0843LT
with the following problems:
- I can' t connect to a network

I tried:

firmware version: E120LKRFB05/E120LKRFB05/E120LKREL21/E120LKREL21 (LGT)
- usb dongel to enter download mode: doesn't work
- when I connect the usb cable; and do the 3 button procedure when the green battery appears, then I can enter download mode, but the screen turns blank aftyer 2 seconds. I can see in Odin that the USB port is detetected but flashing results in an error (see pic1)
- I tried adb shell reboot download. This results in the download mode, but disapears after 2 seconds.
- I tried to root the device via DooMLoRD tootlkit but this results in an error:
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
I'd would like to be able to

Can someone help me please?

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

GT-S7262
Hard bricked and not detecting device too..
Plzzz help me..
Seems Like HArd Bricked<Plz help>
Hi,
Let me first state the story behind the issue. Two days ago my Samsung S7262 got restart issue as it was not booting and was stucking in the first screen.The Phone was getting heated....Later,I tried to hard reset which did not work,so I went on flushing the ROM.Now, I am very new to this and did not have any prior expertise in it. I used Odin v3 and go Flash File from a site for India(I live in India) and tried to flash the ROM. It got completed but I still faced the issue. Then again I flashed once again which Pass ed too,but again the boot loop issue persist.Now, this time I picked another flash file from another site which was relatively larger and it was too for India. This time I tried to flash...after Pass the phone got hanged and I mistakenly removed the USB and then no display was there and it was looking like a brick!!! Later I researchd and now I repent had I went to service centre instead of applying my wicked engineering mind .Now, after much research, I found that now the phone is detected by PC's device manager but no display and still have that looping issue(I know this bcoz I am able to hear booting sound)...Plz help!!!
I had got my samsung galaxy star pro soft bricked and started to reserch about unbrick
But afraid of going ahead without true guide .

Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

Hi stympy,
Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.

Look what you have to do!
Hi. The think was someting like this:
0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.
1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.
2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.
3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.
4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast . If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Tell me iff something goes wrong.
Good luck.

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.
2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.
3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers
Please suggest me what to do next.

2. You will find there an small red button.
3. Now plug your phone to your PC.
4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional
5. Release the button and see what is going on in your device manager.
6. Iff your preloader is messed up something should going on.
7. Should appear something like new hardware detected, that is the point when you update the drivers, and your phone will be detected by your PC
8. Try this and tell me if something goes wrong.
Good luck.

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.
When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?

Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?
From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.
Look what you should try:
Download from here the preloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.
1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang
cleared IMEI
2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools
after reboting no gsm signal
3. NVRAM recovered from backup
No success.
SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone
now running on:
ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep
Baseband: P780.V23
Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
success

i hard brick my phone yesterday. trying to flash bootloader with flashfire. (the lazy way) thats what i get. anyways could not turn on n6p, tried charging it for a couple of hours, try holding power button for 30 seconds, try power + volume . tried holding all buttons. nothing work.. read some threads saying its done. look for new phone or send to get repair. then i found tenfar thread. long story short. i used some of tenfar info and rwj5279955.. so big thanks to these two users
here is what i did to get my N6p to turn back on.. brick by bootloader.. this is my first how to .. bear with me. please.
you will need the following https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By19rrbnQfVUVFZEVUZqQzY1RWs/view?usp=sharing
Qualcomm drivers
QFIL software
3 files, patch0, prog_emmc_firehose, rawprogram0 .. for this to work
1. install qualcomm drivers, Connect phone to pc, open Device Manager. if you see under com port Qualcomm USB loader or something along those lines. your good, go to step 2. if not disconnect phone hold power button for 10 seconds, wait for 5 seconds connect phone to pc. check if in com ports you see Qualcomm drives. if you can not get qualcom drivers on com port. just stop. its not going to work..
2. extract the three files. in a folder somewhere easy to remember.
3. install the QFIL software, . once install run QFIL.
4. in QFIL software
if qualcomm driver are found it will say on top of QFIL software Qualcom USB loader 9008
Select Build Type: click Meta Build
Select Build :: patch0 ... if for some reason patch0 doesnt work try rawprogram0
Select Programmer:: pro_emmc_firehose
hit download ...if the blue bar get to half way mark your golden. its going to always fail. the trick is to get the blue bar at least half ways. then you disconnect phone, hold power button, it should turn on.. then you ADB what ever you need to do.
for those that get the fail right away.. while phone connected to pc, hold power button until drivers disappear from device manager.. then disconnect phone, wait for 5 seconds, hold power button, for 10 second,.. wait for 5 seconds .. then connect phone back to pc, wait for device manager to see drivers.. then hit the download button . do this part over and over again ..until it works..
sorry for this horrible guide.. it work for me.. hope it works for you..
That's a lot to take in! Is this for windows only then not Linux? Bootloader and radio does have to be flashed via fastboot

Thank you so much! I messed up my 6P when I tried to flash a bootloader image via Flashfire. I hadn't been in a brick this bas since the good old days of Gingerbread and ROM Manager! For anyone else having similar issues, I got my dead 6P to be recognized as QHSUSB_bulk eventually in Windows 7. I then edited the rawprogram0.xml file (from OP's link) in a text editor. I removed the entries for all the other partitions I didn't want to overwrite (like system and vendor and userdata), leaving only the sbl1 (secondary bootloader, the part of the firmware that actually boots into the system/recovery/bootloader when the device is first powered on) partition entry - because that's what Flashfire said it had flashed the entire bootloader image to. Doing a bit of research, I found that our bootloader image is actually just many different small partitions all grouped together into a single image file. I couldn't figure out how to unpack the bootloader image, so I downloaded a full firmware OTA zip from Google, and lo and behold, there was a "bootloader.sbl1.img" (along with other small partitions) file in the OTA zip. I changed the sbl1.img entry in the rawprogram0.xml file so that it correlated with the filename "bootloader.sbl1.img", I moved the image file into the same folder as the rawprogram0.xml, and then I was able to restore my device to it's previous functionality using the "flat build" download configuration in QFil, though the whole process did take me like 3 hours. Lesson learned - screw using Flashfire for bootloader images.
ERROR: Could not access "C:\temp\vendor.img" with access mode 'rb'
When I'm finally lucky, rebooting, replugging the phone, it looks like it might flash...
...then I see this.
I've given all permissions to all users for full control, on the file, I've run time program as administrator, I don't know what else to do. If it can't open the file, I can't flash my phone. I'm not a Windows administrator so I don't really know what to do to get this to work and I can't find any hints on the forums.
Hello.
I was trying to install a treble rom on my p20 lite and suddenly after flashing i needed to flash stock recovery to make the stock wipes.
I did.
The rom started but with no keyboard. I couldnt pass google part to get to the rom menu.
Ok.
I decided to flash it again.
I did. But this time, the rom never started and i was with stock erecovery, so couldnt flash again.
I went to flash twrp but FRP is LOCKed. Bootloader unlocked, obviously. And bc of that i cant flash ANYTHING.
Tried to flash system, twrp, anything. I cant. Says FRP lock.
Tried to lock bootloader and relock again: I cant. It says it needs to unlock FRP before.
Tried DC PHOENIX, didn't work on my p20.
Scrolled all google and xda for help, nothing.
Tried erecovery stock rom installation. It downloads the files but never installs, i've spent 5 hours waiting for it to go off the 0%. Nothing happens.
Already made erecovery wipe data/cache. Nothing.
Can someone please help me?
Hi there
Can you tell what's your build number if you already knew before this happened?
Also, right now your only hope is your Stock Recovery so let's focus on that:
Please try to download and install the official ROM via the eRecovery a couple of times and connect it to the best Wifi you have.
Do you have bootloader "unlocked" or "locked" right now?
FRP is locked so no changes possible yup.
If you have your bootloader "locked" not "relocked" you have warranty and you can send it to a customer repair center and they can solve it for you.
With the methods we know it's pretty much impossible, altough try this via fastboot command line:
fastboot erase config
then
fastboot reboot
If this does not do it then try with DC-Unlocker software via this link https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-android-phone-frp-unlock
Sorry for insisting,
Best of hopes,

Hi there
Can you tell what's your build number if you already knew before this happened?
Also, right now your only hope is your Stock Recovery so let's focus on that:
Please try to download and install the official ROM via the eRecovery a couple of times and connect it to the best Wifi you have.
Do you have bootloader "unlocked" or "locked" right now?

Hey, thanks for the answer.
My build number (ane-lx3 c605 b149)
I tried for like 10 times already to install the firmware from erecovery but it refuses to leave the 0% when installing... Ive waited more than 5 hours already.
When trying these fastboot command lines, i got this: https://imgur.com/a/hrSB8iK
Dc also didnt worked for me, i think it doesnt support my phone model?
Bc i can't find it in the list of phone model in the software also tried with similar and doesnt work.
My bootloader is unlocked, i guess warranty wont solve my problem bc of that :crying:
Thanks again for tryna help!

He/She does need a micro sd card adapter for that to connect to the pc or use it on another phone and then copy the files.
Yeah I forgot about that I guess XD

Thanks for your reply and still tryna help me.
As i see, the only thing i didnt do from the official guide is this part:
"Finally, enter to the project menu from dialer typing *#*#2846579#*#* ==> Software Upgrade ==> SdCard Upgrade."
That i cant do cause my phone is systemless and i cant turn it on to use dialer :crying:

Okay then.
It should work though did you put the dload folder into the root your sd card and then power on button + Volume buttons at the same time while powering on?

Hi again
This is really weird... This one should work... Did you download the right version of your build? example: 8.0.0.162(C432)
And try to find the latest version of your build and via your model example: ANE-LX1 which is on the back of the phone with small letters or on the box
Cheers,
AS

Remote instructions are not the best for these problems, so try to get a person on your country which knows some stuff and can help you out there
