OTA Update turned Galaxy Pocket Boot Loop

Help Please?
I had my Galaxy Pocket rooted and got the Jellyblast v3 rom, it was doin fine until I checked on the app OTA and check for update, a new update appeared which is the Nemesis 2.5 Hybrid-Holo Editon. It asked me to download it and so I did. When it was done, it asked me if I wanted to install it and so I did, and rebooted. Later I noticed that it was already boot looping. I tried pulling the battery off and to clockwork mode, with the proper procedure..the holds and presses, but still it just kept boot looping. Tried to connect it to the PC using the USB chord and yet it just shows the charging icon and sooner it turns to white. I tried Kies but still it turned white screen all over again; no device found.
Can someone PLEASE help me with this one? PLEASE, PLEASE guys? I know you guys are knowledgable on these kind of issues. :crying:

I also received the same message and downloaded the update file. when ask to Reboot & Install i selected install the device booted in CWM and i selected update from .zip and selected the downloaded file in OTA Download Folder.
The update was successful, yet the ROM looks in BETA version.
Following are the issues i am currently facing in the updated ROM
1. Gallery ICS was Force Closed, later it was solved via uninstalling update.
2. Quick Panel, Nemesis Hub, Nemesis Owner Info & Nemesis Sound Boosters are giving FC messages.
3. OTA is giving INVALID ROM Message while updating.
I´m having the same issues.
After downloading and installing the OTA update, my device is keep stucking in the boot loop.
When I do to the recovery, I always get automatic update with the update.zip, which means I can't get into the full recovery to select another functional image.
Well I hope it's not bricked. Is there a sollution?
Thanks
I have repaired that throught ODIN MODE, like described here:

For all the SGY Users who are facing issues after updating Jellyblast 3.5 to Nemesis (I faced it too) here is the guide to recover your phone:-
First to repair your phone you have to flash stock rom via odin .
Here's the guide for Flashing Stock Rom via Odin
Requirement: 1. A Samsung Galaxy y phone model gt-s5360.
2. A computer running on windows xp, vista, win7 or win8 with proper USB driver installed to connect your phone to computer {If you have not installed USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy Y then to Install USB Driver}
3. Stock Rom file : you can download stock rom according to your choice and region from the xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800e
4. download ODIN: 1 .85.(google it as i cannot post outside links)
Installation Instruction : [ Charge your phone battery min 80%]
1. Download the required file Odin AND Stock Rom. zip and place in a folder on your desktop .
2. Now extract both with any file extractor.-- Odin v1 .85 .zip and the stock rom zip( file which contains the stock rom i. e 2 .3 .6 )
After that extract Stock Rom file after unzipping you will get three files :
PDA _S5360 _DDLK2.tar,
MODEM_ S5360 _DDLK2.tar &
CSC_S 5360 _DDLK2 .tar
3. Now turn off your Galaxy Y {Remove the battery for 5 -10 seconds and insert it back }
4. Go to Download Mode by Pressing Volume down + Home + Power for 5- 10 sec to boot in Download Mode
5. Now you entered in Download mode select continue by pressing Volume up button .
6. Now attach/ connect your phone to computer via USB cable .
7. Now on your computer open Odin v 1 .85. exe
8.Now make sure you are getting yellow box in ID:COM ( this means that your device is now connected and detected by odin )
9.Now Select those 3 files u download before
PIT - "totoro_0623.pit"
BOOTLOADER - "BOOT" file.
PDA - "PDA" file.
PHONE - "MODEM" file.
CSC - "GT-s5360- MULTI-CSC" file.
10.Now clik on start .
And let be ODIN do its work and wait till you see PASS in green colour it mean the flashing process is complete successfully . Samsung
11.Remove your phone from pc 12.Galaxy Y will auto reboot .
Now if you want to install nemesis Rom, you have to install the nemesis Rom 2.0 (Nemesis Titanium) first and than you should update the Rom by downloading the update file via OTA and flashing the zip file through CWM.
I hope my suggestion will solve your problem.
Did you wipe data and wipe catch before installing ROM??
Did you try flashing original ROM with Odin or others??

Ulefone Be Touch 3

Hello,
I have the Ulefone Be touch 3 and i want to really increase the sensitivity of the screen.

-Install drivers to PC
-Open SP Flash Tool
-Check boot and recovery and select files from files-folder (Uncheck others if they are checked)
-Push download button
-Remove battery from the phone and connect USB
-Disconnect USB when SP Flash Tool says OK
-Install battery and start phone with vol up + power
-Select install zip from sdcard and select super su
-Reboot phone and you are done
-Click thanks if you are satisfied
But I have an error :
PMT changed for the rom
I am afraid to change the download only by firmware upgrade ...
Thanks in advance for your help

Very first LK.BIN for ulefone Be Touch 3 needed
Hi,
I flashed my Ulefone Be Touch 3 device with Ulefone's ROM and ... big mistake : soft bricked.
The device still works except the screen : a dark blue one with no logo, no icon, etc.
From what I read, I can get screen back to normal with the very first lk.bin file but i can only find recent (and thus faulty) ROMs.
Could someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Soft Brick, Can't recover. Mediatek Device

Hello everyone.
So I decided to update my device as i find out that there is a new default ROM available for my device that is Infocus m530.
I downloaded the ROM and i was flashing it through Software Update Tool (SUT) in Normal mode. The installation process got stuck at 16% for like 10 or 15 minutes so I removed the USB (I know its a dumb move ) . And I rebooted the device and got stuck into a boot loop.
I can access the default 3e recovery mode only but because my ROM was in format ob .nb0 I am not able to Flash it using stock recovery, I can no longer access the FastBoot mode,
When i try to boot the device up it goes into One or two loops and the a windows pop up saying no command. In that window if I press power button the stock recovery shows up.
I tried to flash the ROM again using SUT in emergency mode but the device is getting disconnected automatically. In device manager its showing up as Mediatek Pre Loader USB VCOM for a second or 2 and then automatically getting disconnected and then same No Command menu.
For a minute a new device is also popping in the Explorer which usually contains all the default driver of the phone.
Any way I can recover my Bricked Device
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Hi , try to flash this firmware from normal Recovery , once you download rename to update now put firmware inside empty formatted sd card and put inside your phone to start flashing from recovery .
https://www.kriztekblog.com/2016/06...=o67JcQ2b1GjkodlJa9ULilWJwoqb1xZxq6CkVi5D960=
I didn't checked it is for zip or for flash tool so test it first . Good luck .

I already tried it but it didnt work.
So finally I was able to fix the device. The META Mode ain't a myth. Flashed the ROM correctly in META mode and the device booted up properly.
