I also want to understand what the meaning of "Recover a Bricked Phone " . is that mean the bootloader is broken and the phone totally stopped ?

No ROM

Today I wanted to update my phone to the '' Probam kk 1.2.2 for the I9300 .. When I wanted to update it said that there was an error (status 7)
so it couldn't complete the installation.
Since I didn't have another ROM ready to install, I wanted to restore the previous one but it said I had no back up (Even tho I made one)
now I tried to mount my /Sdcard to my laptop (while in recovery mode) to upload a new ROM (that works) but he doesn't let me mount it, and I also tried to use an card reader for my external_SD but for some reason it won't read my external_SD ( Or the reader at all at 2 laptops)
so how can I restore my mobile to a ROM?
I tried:
Toolbox
Samsung Kies

first of all you are getting error because you don't have the latest CWM
so first flash CWM 6.0.4.4 and then flash the probam rom if it's still in ur device if not find a phone that supports SD card and put it in it then u can flash from ur Sd card simple

For 8 GB device you must do this :
For 8G devices download and unpack in a folder with the firmware contents of: target_bin_8G.7z archive.
All needed U can download here : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2ORIgaV4iacSVNOMW1UTzVWa28&usp=sharing
And about storage : U can switch default storage in settings-storage (internal or sd card).

If i get you correct you mean to say extract the contents of firmware and then copy them to contents of target_bin_8G.7z archive and use SP flash tools to install it.. RIght ? I did install it using SP flash tools .. How ever i think all it did is simply do a factory reset on my phone as all the preinstalled applications are back
Well okay.. Never mind i got it.. For 8Gb version we need to download https://yadi.sk/d/7Wlud2fbZaYjA
and use SP flash toos version 5 to install from PC.

Hi. One thing i could say for sure: do not restore apps from prev versions of Android. They will install corupted. Better looK in sections of apps on your google account and install from there. Is safe and better. Iff you want to return to LiFe 0.7 you must flash your recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 because TWRP 2.7.1.1 IS NOT COMPATIBILE. Titanium Backup has problems too. Install the latest version.
Hope this help.

Connectivity lost
I have 8 GB device. I am trying to flash P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v05 using V5 SP Flash tool. I did follow the instruction of copying of files from target_bin-8G and replace the files in target_bin folder before flashing. Flashing and boot is successful. But the result is that the GSM/Data connection is lost. It is recognizing SIM cards as I do not see any error message on that. I see a red cross mark near the Signal Icon. When I tried recoveing IMEI from the backup using MobileUncleTool, one SIM is active and the other is still not. Any clue on what is the mistake? Further TWRP 2.7.1 is not recognizing external SD card and 'Mount SD card' function is not working when connected to Laptop.

Do not use that repartitioner on KK. It will not work and corrupt your partition, internal memory.
Thanks. I didn't know that.
However is there any way for re-partitioning when on KK? It's pretty important for me to increase internal memory. 1GB is not enough...

Thnx for telling the process but will it lead to loss of files in the phone's memory?
