Device:
Lenovo A916. (I don't think that matters for this isue though)
Issue:
Since the one and only firmware lenovo released was kitkat 4.4.1, i wanted to update to 5.1.
Rooted phone, managed to install TWRP, flashed to lollipop 5.1, so far so good. But had some problems with the custom ROM (no SIM detected), so i decided to download a stock ROM recovery and installed it.
When rebooted device i was stuck on CWM and custom rom installations give me errors and can't access USB storage on PC.
When i try to install a custom rom i get a no file_contexts warning and it fails.
Is there a way to fix this (maybe enter again to TWRP so i can flash a rom again? i don't know) or is my phone ruined forever? It was on USB debug mode, if that helps.
For some weird reason, it turns on by itself when connected via USB cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Guys!
I have a problem with my P7510.
My tab is on a bootloop
Stock recovery and download mode work
BUT
Tab is not recognized by PC or Odin
Wiping cache and factory reset don't solve this :crying:
This happened after i installed A1 Kernel on Infamous Rom 4.0.4, looking for USB charging. After installing it, no matter what, the PC wouldn't recognize the tablet (no notifications of any kind. Couldn't even find the tab on device manager. tested it on 3 computers, installing and reinstalling drivers, and the same error kept happening), it just charges it's battery. Tried several Roms and Kernels, but the problem was still there
Trying to find a solution i considered installing a stock firmware from samsung, but without USB recognition from my computer, i couldn't use ODIN3 1.85, but i stumbled upon MOBILE ODIN, so i used it to flash a stock firmware, but after a succesfull flash, the tab went into a bootloop. Tried wiping cache and factory reset,on the STOCK RECOVERY (not CWM) and the tab kept bootlooping :crying:
So, to recover my Tab, i need ODIN, but i can't use ODIN since my PC (and therefore ODIN) doesn't recognize my tablet.
So here's when i ask you ¿What can i do to recover my tablet? ¿Should i send it to a technician?
Thanks in advance
Sebastian
Some aclarations:
-I use odin as administrator on windows 7 32 bit
-i don't have Kies on the background
-I instaled and reinstalled the tab drivers
-I looked for the tablet on device manager. I didn't find it.
-The PC doesn't respond at all when i plug the Tablet (no notifications or sound),
Maybe you can try using ADB while your tab is in the Recovery mode.
I accidentally wiped my /sdcard fs and used this method to push a custom rom in the /data/media fs.
Since your Recovery mode is working, you can try to flash a new rom.
ADB Still works on Stock Recovery? (not CWM or TWRP)

My recovery is the STOCK samsung recovery, not CWM are you sure ADB still works with it?
Thanks for your reply, anyways
I was running CM12 and everything was fine. I received a notification to update to CM 13 and I selected yes. It installed OK, but no GAPPS. I tried everything I could think of to install GAPPS, and kept getting errors. IN my frustrated efforts, something happened to my TWRP and now I only have CM Recovery. I'm trying to reinstall TWRP but my phone is being recognized as a "Marshall London Bootloader Interface" ONLY when in the Fastboot and Recovery mode. I have Huawei Hisuite installed and it recognizes the phone fine when powered on, but as soon as I boot into Fastboot and Rescue mode, it reverts to the MLB interface. I am at my wits end as to how to get my PC to recognize my phone properly when in Fastboot and recovery. I did try removing and reinstalling drivers when in Fastboot, but the Marshall Interface keeps on getting inserted. Any suggestions?????? (I also seem to have erased the SD card that has my original system backup files on it. I tried to flash several downloaded stock ROMs using CM recovery, but they all error out. )
I was finally able to re load TWRP using the Huawei Hi Suite. I flashed Carbon ROM and GAPPS and everything seems to be OK but I still cannot use ADB because the phone is recognized by Windows as a Marshall device ONLY when in bootloader mode and ADB does not find the device. When I connect normally it is recognized as a Mate 2 and it connects normally to Hi Suite. I have no idea what could be wrong, but I have read of other people who have this mysterious "Marshall" device show only up when in bootloader mode. Anyone have any ideas????? Can I go back to stock from here if I don't have a saved recovery image to see if I can fix this???
I have no idea what Marshall device means. Is it possible to place the stock 5.1 ROM on a blank micro SD card and follow the flashing instructions? (boot to download mode or whatever it's called)

I explained what "Marshall Device" is in the first post. I ended up going back to stock (322) and loosing root. I then updated to 5.1 using the SD card. Everything seems to be working OK. Maybe I'll root again and start over when I have more time.
Wassup aliens!
So I got this gionee M3 and I rooted it with iRoot and tried to flash recovery in nearly every way possible....... I tried using Flashify, Rashr, TWRP manager..... Nothing worked.
1) On Flashify: I kept selecting Flash recovery but the message I get every time is "Error copying the file, please send me the log file".
2) On Rashr and TWRP Manager: They both say they flashed the file but when I boot into recovery all I see is gray screen with a gionee logo. I also lost my stock recovery this way.
3) On PC: My PC never detects my phone as an adb or VCom device........To check for VCom I tried SP Flash Tools..... didn't detects the device. For Adb I tried Adb devices in command prompt but the devices list is empty.
Some info:
I have USB debug mode enabled.
I have stock 5.0.2 android rom with no recovery just factory safe mode through which I can perform some tasks.
If you need any pics or any info just tell me in the comments.
I hope you guys help me.... Been trying for the last 6 days.

Hey i have the same problem. Can you suggest me something regarding this.
A very big question
Hello! I have an argentine copy of the M3, called Hyundai Ultra Energy, same processor, same storage, camera quality, all in the same place. My question is how do I install a custom rom and how do I flash the recovery at first. I use adb commands, but I know that I have to do it with spflash. How is the process? I download the rom, charge the scatter and tilt only in recovery? Would be dangerous? Is more safe to root with King Root?
Hello there. I have an Elephone P9000 Lite, which required a re-flash. Fair enough. After I formatted everything then flashed the stock ROM... I tried booting it up, but the boot animation won't show up, instead, it's all just a black screen. It went on like that for 10 minutes, before I decided to stop trying. It got bricked. Now, I decided to try and flash CM13 (I found a ROM on this forum), but I can't flash it using SP Flash Tool (what I used to flash stock) because it's an .img file, so it doesn't have a scatter. I came to the conclusion that I can use:
a) Recovery, which I can't access due to the device being bricked
or
b) ADB, which requires USB debugging to be enabled, but I can't enable it due to my device being bricked.
Can anyone help me?
(I have quite some experience with flashing and stuff, but I have no idea how to flash .img using a PC without having to access the phone's OS)
Guys, in need of desperate help here!
I've heard my friends joking that girls are not good with tech so I decided to prove them wrong by flashing a custom ROM on my newly acquired Vernee Apollo phone. Well, that ended badly - I succeeded rooting it and installing SuperSU, but I bricked it when I tried flashing a ROM so now when I turn it on it stays on the Vernee logo.
I suppose I have to open TWRP recovery and reset my phone with the backup I created earlier but I can't access it - I can only access Recovery Mode and FastBoot Mode
In FastBoot mode I try to connect the phone to my PC and get to TWRP but adb doesn't find my device anymore...
And In Recovery mode, when I try to flash the ROM, it using 'Apply update from SD card' it says 'Opening update package...' and right after that 'Installation aborted' (and my battery is almost full).
Any help is appreciated! <3
