how to flash a stock ROM that was backup using GSM Aladdin - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I want to ask something
I just backup my stock ROM using GSM Aladdin (using the read flash feature.also i ticked save as scatter) and it completed successfully so i went to the folder where it was saved (something like MT6580xxx) and i saw .bin files like boot , system , preloader etc
So my point is they are all .bin files (excluding the scatter.txt)
And i want to flash that to my phone using sp flash tool so do i need to make the .bin files to .img files or can i use directly? ? Or is there any other step ? Please help

You will have to flash an original image of the system partition via odin.
Go find out how to make a custom odin package with a system img that you extract from a stock odin package.

[Q] Huawei G700 EMUI 1.8 B124

Hello
here i am posting here because i cant post on Miscellaneous Android Development , how ever i think i post there before while working on B5512
I Just got new G700 it came with B115 middle east channel , phone is good but as a start is there is a update i must ask my self is root ready , and CWM for sure so i start the digging
@chamaruco thank you for your great thread which saved and helped many people
now i got a file and i think you were looking for it ""G700-U10_V100R001C00B124CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Portugal_Channel-Others_4.2.1_EMUI 1.8_05021LMW.zip"" it contain usb upgrade and sd upgrade with drv and flash tool
i notice EMUI 1.8 not 1.6 which i saw for example a permission manager with it on P6 is that here in that rom too ?
is that rom improved than mine b115 phone is good for first look but
(in B115)
1-camera quality is strange i dont mean bad but it look very strange it is like very poor on quality
2-in call volume is too low in my opinion all " in test mode"
Question now did any one get that update "EMUI 1.8 B124" can tell is there is any improvements ?!
Question am i able to flash CWM image directly with flash tool to save some annoying procedures ?!
a member here provide flasher and cwm.img and orginal recovery.img
i did not work with the phone yet need to shift data from old phone remove ext2 part and prepare for change , and feeling lost here
want to strike it all once
i will upload "EMUI 1.8 B124" soon as it came from a private server
any suggestions are welcome
When you install 1.8 you will notice there is only a tap error from uploader..it is a 1.6 emui. That's all.
Hello
some info to add
incase of softbrick the phone and unable to flash using spflash tool and receive " not allowed , forbidden "
solution
inside the usb upgrade >> flash "Rework-Secro" using scatter in same folder then you will be able to use download mode again

But my mobile does not boot into CWM recovery mode as i have seen in my previous Qmobile A8 it always restarts in the defualt recovery mode which only give options to "1. reboot, 2. update from SDcard, 3. update from cashe, 4. wipe/delete user data and wipe/delete cache and in the last there is a calibarate TP, AND OFF COURSE THESE ALL ARE THE ANDROID BUILTIN RECOVERY STEPS NOT OF THE CWM
And off course there is not any file or folder named update.app in the downloaded .zip/extracted file. "as i have mentioned above the folder contains a folder named META-INF and three img files named as boot cust and system while a .bin file named logo too.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

So after I select the Reworked scatter file there is only the sec_ro partition checked to flash. So after flashing it do I now select the previous scatter file and then flash everything (including preloader)?

Can't turn WiFi on after flashing.

Hey,
Today I used a ROM to flash my mobile (Samsung J5 2016 edition, model: J510FN) and I just used the perfect ROM, and it fits perfectly. But when I try to turn on WiFi it goes back swipe to off automatically when I swipe it to on.
I used this rom (version v1.1 because v2 and v3 were gone and bad): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-stock-rom-v1-t3467865
Someone knows what to do? I'm a beginner, so please explain it good. I have everything btw like Odin, TWRP, latest SuperSU, etc.
Please help.
Thanks
From your stock rom Copy the folder named Permissions from /system/etc and paste it at the same location in your new downloaded rom.
DONOT delete the existing folder , just replace the files.
Good Luck Cheers

You mean an img file , right?
If you have twrp or cwm backup of your stock rom , you can extract it from that file(ext4.system.tar.a) , if you dont have a twrp/cwm backup , you can try to flash stock rom from that img file and then copy necessary files into sdcard and then re flash your new rom and paste the existing files.
Good luck/

No, its an md5 file. Inside the md5 file (when I open it with winrar) it only shows hidedcache files etc and also boot.img
I need to have go to the patch (system/etc/permissions

Then you might need to flash your stock rom first and then copy the necessary files.
I have an Mediatek device , steps to troubleshoot are same , but I have a zip of my stock rom created to access stock files when ever i need them.
I would advise you to do the same for future troubleshooting..
Good Luck mate

And what are the nessecary files? Only the permissions folder or more?

Permission folder worked for me , but i would insist you to copy the entire /system partition as backup once you have flashed the stock rom just in case.
If permission folder doesnt work , then try replacing files starting with wlan from /system/lib/modules from stock to port
Do only when permissions folder doesnt work.

How to Flash a ROM with boot.img and System folder only?

HI! Is there any way to flash a custom rom using PC?
SP FLash tool needs a scatter file
but my ROM doesnt have any.
I tried to make my own scatter file but I cant find the system.img
The system.img is a folder
how can i convert the system folder to system.img?
PLS HELP
Ive done this but it was year's ago while making an odin flashable firmware for sgh-t599. Sorry to say I can't remember the procedure but I used guides so the info is out there.
You'll need Linux, and you must know the size of system partition and if it need to be raw img format or sparse img format.
With the right commands these img's can also be extracted straight from a working device.

(URGENT) How to flash RAR files with CWM?

Hi. I am a newbie in flashing phones. I am having a Lenovo A850. I was planning to flash it to Android Marshmallow (CynogenMod) . It was really hard to find the ROM. Somehow I managed to find one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-lenovo-t3724018 . Once I downloaded it, I noticed that it is in RAR format. I tried entering CWM in my phone, and the RAR file doesn't show up. CWM probably does not support flashing RAR files.
What should I do now?

What you do for a quick fix is to open the .rar file on your computer using a software like winrar, or 7zip. Then compress it using the software as a .Zip file then you can flash it easy as that.
Doing this is changing the file format all correctly with correct conversions so it should be alright. But be aware that this is a quick fix which I use and have success with. Not sure if it would work for you But it should, if it doesn't don't hit me ~ QAQ
Note that this is possible as well on phones using file manager with inbuilt rar,win support
