ROM Update Failure / Can't enter Recovery - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

EDIT:
PLEASE CLOSE / DELTE THREAD
Hey Fellas,
my Alpha won't install a ROM Update (Guess it's LP). And I am not able to enter the recovery nor can I install the alpha driver via USB.
Is there a way to push the original Samsung ROM to the phone?
I appreciate any help.
Kind regards

Recovery mode is usually the place which will allow you to flash roms, kernels, scripts, etc. By default, you have Samsung's stock recovery mode. Clockwork Mode or CWM is a custom recovery mode that offer much more option than the stock recovery mode. Now assuming that you have Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and not Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i, here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
Download Root.zip from that link and place it in your sd card. Now switch off the device and boot in to recovery mode (Home+ Power button). Now select "Apply Update from SD Card" and then choose Root.zip. Done. Now you have successfully rooted the device. Follow the same steps for installing CWM too.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Hope I Helped

We have several standard method for installing/using custom Recovery console such as flashing "recovery.tar.md5" over Odin 3.07 ( single entry PDA ) >> Obviously you can not access to Download mode , because of your Volume malfunctions . However we can use ADB commands to access stock recovery and Download mode , yet again totally useless , due to critical keys malfunctions >> Android debugging bridge must be enabled inside your developer settings of your device /proper drivers installed inside your PC / USB cable ready at hands / Android SDK tools installed inside your PC or use platform tools as an alternative >> adb reboot Download << >>>adb reboot recovery <<< for accessing both modes without using traditional hardware combo keys.
2. Terminal emulator method >> Rooted phone/busybox from play store installed /correct recovery.img must be present for instance inside root of your sd card /super user or su app must be updated to preferably 3.1.3 ; su binary inside of your super user app must be 3.1.1 ( flashing this file su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip would solve the outdated binary , yet again you have key malfunctions )
after su you may try >
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
Now, normally reboot to recovery and enjoy new recovery!
if not wait for #
now type reboot recovery
or
this line after su, depends on the sd card block inside your s5830i, fill xx >>
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p<xx>
Caution : S5830i/C/M/5839i known as cooperVE do require dedicated CWM recovery console . Unless you ported your CWM image from here and you have synced the source, updated it and setup the build environment for creating your "recovery.img" ( which i highly doubt that you are capable of such things ) . Sources for your device : 1 ; 2 ; 3
There are 2 types of CWM involved in this process : 1- Temporary zip file which does not come with buit-in kernel inside , so you have to flash it every time through stock e3
2. Comes with kernel for the permanent access to custom recovery upon executing recovery command .
Be advised older temp- CWM ( 5.0.2.6 AND 5.0.2.8) are best suited for stock firmware and custom Roms based on stock firmwares, because of native support for your RFS partitions .
CWM + 6 ported for cooperVE only supports ext2/3/4 and MTD , so do not flash it on stock or the type of rom I did mention
3, Droid manager method : rooted phone/adb enabled inside your device/Net Framework 4. installed /ADB drivers installed /
This is the GUI version and will perform many things such as fie manager capabilities/manage Nandroid backups from a custom recovery/supports both of the major recoveries ClockworkMod and TWRP/fastboot and many functions.
last word , after getting into your CWM presumably how the heck you want to move without your volume keys being active LOL GET IT FIXED .
Hope I did help you and for God sake don't use your wrong recovery.img through Terminal , You will **** it up royally indeed

Hello everyone! I write a new post because where I wrote before was not good and I hope that this time this topic is seen as someone who can help me ... I have a BRONDI GLADIATOR 3 and I ran the root but the boot loader and the recovery are the original and following a change in botched the file system "build.prop" the phone does not start more '. I tried a hard reset from recovery but it did not work; I tried to install packages from the zip recovery but was interrupted once the installation or gave me "Error:" Invalid ota package ""; I tried to fix via adb but told me that I was not authorized or was enabled only the "sideload"; I do not know 'what to do ... Is there anyone who knows how to solve my problem or who can get me a package "update.zip" for system recovery? Thanks in advance to all!

[Q] Help for First time Rooting

Hello there, I own a Moto E, Bought from the Indian supermart, Flipkart. I recently came across an LG G2 that runs on Cyanogen Mode 12. That shows the android version of 5.0.2. I then looked deeper and found that my.moto E can be rooted to the same ( or 12.1) OS alwell. So, I would like to root my device and install the mode. I. Kindly request you to provide me with the steps to safely root the device. I'm a newbie to android development and mods. So, please tell me things in the most basic level.
Thank you.

Firstly you'll have to note that rooting will void your warranty and you might end up bricking your phone (Though it usually doesn't happen while rooting)
Secondly... you should first search for your question in the forum itself since you're not the first person to encounter the problem...
Okay .. now to the rooting part...
To root your moto e..
You'll first have to unlock your bootloader which would result in deletion of all the data you have in your internal storage so you should backup your data first...
Go to this thread for the entire process of unlocking bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753110
Next you'd want to flash a custom recovery. There are many custom recoveries out there.. most popular being cwm and twrp.. You can go for any recovery you like
In most cases.. the process to flash recovery is the same...
1. Download the particular recovery that you want to flash and rename it recovery.img... also note that while downloading... you check that it's for your device only...
2. Put it in the same folder as that of minimal adb and fastboot which i assume you downloaded while unlocking your bootloader
3. Enable USB Debugging in your phone from the Developer's options which can be unlocked by tapping on "Build number" a few times in About phone
4. Connect your phone to your pc with a USB cable
5. Open Minimal adb and fastboot
6. Type the following command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' without apostrophes
If it says Ok.. then you have successfully flashed your custom recovery
Now you're finally gonna root your phone...
1. Download SuperSU from here https://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip (DO NOT UNZIP)
2. Switch off your phone and reboot into bootloader by pressing first volume down.. then power button.. then releasing power button
3. Navigate to recovery by volume buttons and press power button to select
4. Select install or install from sd or something similar depending upon the recovery that you flashed
5. Select the super su zip file that you downloaded in first step
6. Flash it
7. Reboot
That's it.. your moto e is rooted now...
And like i said before... use the search bar before posting a question
(Press Thanks if i helped somewhow )
Firstly, Thank you for your valuable reply. I'd like to know a few more things about the process.. In this case, I'd like to set up cyanogen mode 12 on my XT1022. So after having my device rooted, what do I have to do? Do i have to download the ROM from the official cyanogen website? If so, can you please post a link to that file too?
And about the OS, I'd like to know,
*Will I be able to use both my sim cards? If not which sim card will I lose functionality?
*Will I be able to use Data ie, Edge and HSDPA through my sim card?
*Will I be able to use WiFi and Bluetooth?
*How will I Flash my original ROM back if I need?
Thank you for being patient.

Sorry for the late reply.. I know you probably would've flashed it by now and trying out new different roms as well but i'd still post in case somebody stumbled upon this thread...
Yes you'd have to download the rom from the official cyanogenmod website
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=condor&type=nightly
After downloading it.... Go into your recovery... Do a factory reset (It will delete all your data so backup your rom before doing so) .. Then install the rom and reboot... First reboot will take a lot of time so no need to worry if it doesn't boot up quickly...
Now to answer your questions...
Yes.. Everything is working fine with cm12 and i haven't really seen any big bugs or anything that would bother you since i myself am using it as a daily driver...
If you made a backup before installing the rom.. All you'd have to do would restore it and you'll go back into the same state with the previous rom installed... And if you didn't.. You'd have to install the stock firmware for which you can take help from this thread

My RMX1851 stuck on logo boot screen after flashing SUPER SU

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum but I had to do that as nobody saw my topic!
The original one is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-3-pro/help/rmx1851-stuck-logo-boot-screen-flashing-t4143689
Could anybody help please!
help plz

@BeshoTwadrous
Only to have said it:
A phone's Android is rooted when the su binary - what is ~100KB of size - is present on the system. Replacing phone's Stock Recovery by TWRP Recovery is NOT needed to achieve this. Placing the su binary into Android OS can be done with a few ADB commands.
My advice:
Re-fllash phone's Stock ROM by means of QFIL tool.
Firstly thanks for your concern,
I managed to solve it after flashing custom rom - which is newer than the stock I had flashed before -.
And now, the phone is working well
