Hi,
the other day, trying to install an official ROM by ODIN , I jumped a failure halfway through the process . The phone would not start and I can only access the mode Downloading ... I tried to install other official ROMs by ODIN, android 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 unsuccessfully always it hangs just as it begins to install system .
The most we have achieved is , after installing the PIT , install TWRP Recovery and access. But I can not do anything , if I try to do wipes fails in all partitions , I can not copy files by connecting the mobile to the PC, or I can not view files by OTG to install a ROM .
I appeal to your wisdom to rescue the mobile and try not to spend more for my bad hands
Hi i would like to help but first you should give more detailed information about your phone and if it is carrier locked or anything

Greetings fellow Earthicans!
I've been roaming these forums for several years now and have been able to fulfill all my custom rom needs by searching, trial and error. I've bricked all my phones at least once but have always managed to make the phone work better than when i first stardet modding it. This time i managed to do something i've never been able to do before and i'm therefor writing my first post here.
Yesterday i did a full wipe/format of everything available in CWM because the internal phone memory was close to full. In the process i managed to erase all my backups, which i thought was fine since i loaded my external sd with most of the custom roms and gapps available on this amazing forum.
However, when i tried to flash either one of the .zip files i get the same message "this package is for "m3", m3xxm i9305, gt - i9305 device; this is a "m0"." Even though i've had both avatar and miui ROM installed a few hour earlier. I was stuck on the boot screen, as so many other times with this and other devices.
So i searched around this forum and google and found out that m0 is the i9300 and my initial thought was "nice, perhaps i can install the custom roms of the i9300 by copying them to my ext sd and install through CWM" Which of course did not work and i realized i had to go back to stock through the download screen
So i downloaded my firmware (4.1.2 and 4.3) from sammobile.com to do a stock reset through odin 3.07. Both firmwares works fine and all of the phones functions work as intended, as far as i know.
I'm currently running 4.3 I9305XXUEMKC_I9305TLAEML1_I9305XXUEMK1_HOME.tar.md5 without any problem, but would love to be able to run custom ROMs again, but have no clue how to proceed.
I would be eternally thankful if someone know the solution to this problem i've encountered through my irresponsible actions.

This is not i9305 q&a .
in recovery format system sdcard data and cache then boot to download mode and flash the correct stock rom for your phone via Odin .

Thank you for your reply.
I've checked which of the stock rom to use and have done as you described, i can run the stock rom and currently am.
iIve rooted the phone and installed CWM through odin. When booting into CWM, and clearing as described in all guides, i still get the same error message given in my post above.
are you sure you do have the right recovery and that this is up to date?
Hi All,
1. i9300(unlocked international) got an upgrade 4.1.3 after that my setting link wont work at all,
2. tried a lot of things but nothing worked and had to hard reset
3. After rebooting it opens the welcome page and "unfortunately, settings has stopped"
4. Called Samsung -> they do not support international unlocked phones in the USA
5. Tried odin but it doesn't detect on my computer (yellow/blue tab) although i can go to download screen
6. Tried to install 4.4.2(omni) /4.1.2 -apply update from ext storage but it fails "e signature verification failed"
7. My phone is not rooted, i cannot enable the USB debug option now as phone settings does not work.
How do i proceed ? Tried this link( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163284) which says "flash ROM" /"flash gapps" but How? AM i missing something, i am not a developer could you please let me know in a layman's terms?
Faulty firmware is your problem with settings ,
The link you post is not for this phone .
USB debugging is not relevant .

Odin no connection see multiple identical posts .
Basics are change cable use USB motherboard port install Kies/ USB drivers .
Try another computer clean usb port .
boot the phone into the recovery mode then choose format the phone ( you will lose every thing on your phone except external storage will be untouched but it's the only way now ) you should back up your files weekly
funny thing there is no 4.1.3 only 4.1.2 / 4.2.2 / 4.3 JB
to install a custom rom u must have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP or PHILX touch and in order to install a custom recovery you must be rooted
gapps are google apps for any AOSP/AOKP roms only ,, Samsung stock rom doesn't need this
since your warranty has ended long time ago just root the phone already

to install any ROM it's recommended that you have the latest RECOVERY installed
Hello guys, i'm new on the world of Android and i need a little help. I'm newbie but i learn fast.
I got a new phone with android 4.4.2 China honor 3 (fake), after uninstalling some China app the operation system started to stuck at logo at the start.
So to solve the problem i red that i could restore the old OS using ROM file. The factory where i bought the phone sent me the official ROM file for my phone.
Now i entered on Recovery mode, first i did "wipe data/factory reset", then with ADB i loaded the file .zip "adb sideload update.zip". But how the file is uploaded it says "Installation aborted", without any error.
So now i need your help how can i restore this system... I tried also to buy an SD card 8 gb and upload the file on the SD, but same error.
Thank you for your help!
Bump! Need help guys
SUMMARY:
I unistalled wrongly MIUI (MiHome app) and the phone stopped working correctly.
Phone is a fake honor 3c with MTK 65xx processor.
1 - Phone doesnt load the main theme, after the android logo i see a black page. (i see the top bar where there are wifi, time etc)
2 - The phone is not rooted. (i think)
3 - I can enter in Restore Mode and Factory Mode.
4 - I got the official ROM file. (the factory gave me it)
5 - All file zip (that i try to use in recovery from SD or ADB) give me "Installation aborted" without any error.
6 - I haven't USB DEBUG enabled, and i can't enable it cause i can't load the Operation system.
Stuck on BootLoop
I am currently facing the same Issue i changed the system/framework (of the CHERRY MOBILE JELLY) with the folder of the SamsungS5 system/framework
cause I was thinking that it'll worked too after changing the system/media of my phone
PLEASE HELP
GUYS
Download and flash the stock ROM with SP flash tools....to will solve all the problems...
the best place to go for any rom for china phones is needrom just google it. I had a jiake v8 phone and this was the only place where i was able to find rom for my phone. good luck ....
I face the same prob!
I have a canvas 2.2 a114 which I bought a few days back . I had been using it very smoothly(not rooted and is new). But suddenly it started to reboot and was stuck at the canvas logo. I have the rom file, but it simply says "Installaton aborted when I load the zip file. help plz! Thanx.
guys the best way to do this is to go to youtube. Find how to port rom to mtk devices or china phones there are plenty of videos. It will be much easier for you to do something when you see how someone is doing it and then you do it for yourself. I have a jiake v8 pphone and this is what i did is not that easy to explain much easier to see.
you can try reflashing the stock rom (You May not lose data) or you can install the stock recovery

Well make sure that your is usb is ok, try on diffrent computer that your device has not been connect because the marshmallow diffrent set of drives , Try re download the copy of the firmware it might get damaged during downloading. Try to use the old tested kies it is more stable...
