Hello!
I'm a newbie and I really need help with my bricked(?) phone. First a short intro to how the problem came to be:
I own an old (but I still love it) and extremely rare phone, the original Samsung Galaxy Beam (I8520).
There is no official update for it, so it is stuck on Android 2.1.
The thing I miss is Netflix, and Netflix officially only supports 2.2+, so I thought I could try to fool Netflix into running anyway by editing puild.prop.
But to be safe, I used an app called Device Spoofer. In this I could try different model infos by selecting different phones in a list.
I tried a couple and found one it would except. Then it required a reboot, I believe, and now my phone won't start up.
I get to the Samsung logo and then a Starhub carrier logo, as usual, and then the phone just turns black.
There is supposed to be a way to get into download mode by holding some buttons, but that doesn't work on my phone. I have read something about it being a bug on some Samsung models. But anyway, I have bought one of those usb sticks that puts the phone into download mode, and it works.
I have tried to use ADB, but it doesn't seem to find my phone. I also tried to flash a firmware to the phone, but that doesn't work either, Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection..". The only firmware I have found online is one called I8520STHJI1.tar, which is the last firmware version made for the phone and the version that is factory installed on my phone.
The I8520STHJI1.tar contains the following files:
cache.rfs
modem.bin
ramdisk.img
SS_DL.dll
system.rfs
userdata.rfs
zImage.img
Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you!
After googling, it seems that I need a certain version Odin to be able to flash the i8520.
What I need is Multi Downloader v.1.7.3L
Does anybody have that?
I want to perma-unlock the sim so i wont have to use sprint because they suck eggs. But using a program called autorec, i am stuck in fastboot. I have tried the download thing where you power off and plug in the usb to get download mode, but as soon as it powers on it goes directly to fastboot or download mode pops up, then is sent directly to---YOU guessed it! FASTBOOOOOOOOT
So i need to go back to square one, and start from the very stock LG G2 Ls980, help will be appreciated. I will post links of guides i tried but led me to this problem. Also, anyone who would like to post a good guide, no problem, to unlocking the phone to be used on another rom such as AT&T or Tmobile, that would be fantastic. I want to get this phone up and working to replace an old phone, but sprint is a egg sucker.

BTW it is rooted already with ioroot. like i followed in the guide.
more information
Those all say
"fastboot mode started"
udc_start
reset
then just
portchange(where i was trying the download thing)
but it all ends in fastboot: processing commands
I have seen alot of other guides
I still need help, specific instructions for my device would be great. all the info in the first post.
For the speedy reply
I really ****ed it up now due to every flash to stock from fastboot menu on this site. It is black screen cant even access anything, no stock rom ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET WTF and i am beyond irritated with how many inaccurate threads on this site. The phone altogether is really pissing me off. **** sprint for making their phones just as ****ty as every service they have.

I work on that phone all the time and never remember seeing any threads for restoring via fastboot...? The preferred way is via kdz and the LG FlashTool. So once you power off and leave it off for like 30 secs then hold Volume Up and plug in the phone does not get you to Download Mode? Have not seen that one before...
As far as unlocking, especially if you aren't going to use Sprint again, I prefer to use one of the roms that is based off GSM with the Sprint kernel so it'll boot. I like the Energy rom for 4.2.2. Works and looks great. Have installed it for quite a few customers and have never had a complaint (well, one wasn't a fan of the dark theme, but can't please em all...) or anyone bring it back to me. There is a newer one that is like a stock rom but 4.4.2. Haven't tried that one since I like to stick with what I know works and haven't had enough chance to test the new one.
The steps I take are:
Use LG FlashTool to go back to ZV7 update
Root with ioroot (at leave version 22 and 25 works too)
Use Flashify to install the loki-ed TWRP 2.6.3.3
Reboot to recovery
Install Energy rom and ZV8 radio (must flash radio or it will not boot)
...
Profit!
PS: If you need NFC, there's a separate zip to flash.
I have everything for this operation uploaded to my Mega account and have performed it remotely. If you're just completely stuck and you can still get into Download mode, let me know and I can help with whatever else you need.
Hi all. I've been reading (and not understanding) a lot of threads on here about flashing firmware to this old Galaxy player.
All I wanted to do originally was get a newer android version for the store and games for my 14 month old wee lad to play with.
Anyway after a fair bit of research I got Odin and the US version of a Rom and dove right in to upgrading and of course I made an unholy mess of it and bricked the device.
I chose the US version knowing it probably wasn't going to support the physical home button after but took the risk.
I plugged it into my windows 10 PC and went from there. So the process failed initially after a very quick scroll of information. Then I started ticking the check boxes in Odin to a point where the process took longer and seemed to be actually doing something instead of flying through and failing. Well then it seemed to be doing something so I left it for an hour or two and when I came beck it was stuck where it was, not doing anything. It was late so I unplugged and went to bed.
Now the device only displays the very commonly reported 'phone... ! ...PC' icons.
I have Odin v1.82 running right now and its detecting the player ( yellow box 0:[com8] ), then after a while the player shuts off and comes back on for Odin to detect it again.
Nothing else happens, windows won't read the device even to access as a storage device.
So I've been to step 2, which is trying to unbrick it. I don't really want to go the Ubuntu route as I know even less about Linux then Android.
Also theres the problem of trying to get the original international roms and pit and bootloader(?) files. All the links on here seem to be broken.
So does anyone have the actual files I need and maybe an idiots guide to doing the work?
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I have read that on here mate, that its still in download mode, however no button combo gets it to do anything else (like trying to enter recovery mode).
Also and I guess this is the main problem, I can't find the stock files anywhere, and trust me I've been reading threads here and googling elsewhere.
The links on here all seem to be broken, which given the age of the threads is no surprise.
So I'm still kind of hopeful someone reads this and can supply the files I need.
Oh and I'm open to a non stock version as long as its for the international version (home button) and proven to be good.
I'd love to be rid of the bloatware and free to install play store etc.

So I got my X5 today and immediately set about rooting it.
To start I tried to flash TWRP and that put it into a boot loop! Just the initial splash screen.
I managed to get it to boot by flashing via fastboot to what I thought is the correct firmware from the Doogee support site, however the screen is just horizontal bars.
Looking into why it seems clear the lk.bin which contains display drivers must be wrong, but for the life of me I can't find the right one! Every one I flash I get the same result.
The phone came with Marshmellow pre-loaded and build date 20170904, however I can't find this version available to download ANYWHERE! So I'm thinking either I have a new revision of X5 that no one else has properly played with and Doogee have not even put the firmware/revision info up yet, or for some odd reason I got a phone that the seller had flashed themselves with a custom ROM (it came from Amazon and the seller is 'Doogee Official Store' so I don't think this can be the case).
Anyway, any ideas are most welcome. I'm really thinking/hoping I just need the right lk.bin and can flash it alone!
Thanks!
Why don't you contact with doogee to identify which device you have and to direct you to a suitable rom file download?
I have.
Though I’ve since realised the Bootloader is set to locked and USB Debugging is disabled, so even if I get the right load I’m not sure how I will applie it!
I can get to fastboot blind, and to stock recovery blind, but then I can’t see what I’m doing to get to a point I can allow ADB or any other kind of flash.
If I had a screenshot of the stock recovery screen and the steps you can go through from there to allow flashing that might help.
I’ve tried going into the full OS and getting to settings/developer/OEM unlock blind but no joy! Again, screenshots of this process might allow me to press the right bits of the screen (along with a truck load of luck!).
Hi there , after soft bricking my phone intentionally because i wanted to downgrade form O to MM which i thought it would be relatively easy to find a stock firmware(the full one) well ...(i was wrong), Xda is not as content rich as you may think, and no one seems to offer any advice or answer for that matter, compared to other forums it lacks a lot.
After flashing more than 5 corrupted firmwares i found one that is working perfectly fine.
Steps:
1-Enter fastboot ( power + vol up)
2- Run (flashall_AFT.cmd) , download link below.... (this is the full firmware no bull**** no missing files) .
That's it... piece of cake
First impression: the bass is more rich and vibrant as many have said so cause the O version was an absolute rubbish like it's battery life , i'm yet to see the battery performance on this MM and i'll be updating the thread with SOT SS after flashing Magisk and installing debloater module.

There are some other newer N full versions but i haven't tested them.

i already had that file which i got a few months ago but never used it. i was a noob about this zenfone.
but ur title says its mm, its not , its nougat, 7.11. its the last nougat b4 oreo was released, it uses the same base fw, iirc, as my post about manually flashing 7.11 but without the radios, https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
my memory could be wrong though, but file name suggests its 7.11
- [firmware27]WW_ZE553KL_71.60.139.30_MR4_user_20180306173656_release.zip
long story short i eventually flashed it a couple of weeks ago, it does flash successfully, well most of the time, and looks legit, i just wish i knew its original source, i think it was someone named marco, as theres lots of files within that zip.....but it seems legit.
but why are u hosting it on the clickbait site. i might up it to androidfilehost which is a no bs hosting site.
i did create a twrp flashable full stock 6.01 mm firmware, im still testing it as it doesnt always flash completely in twrp, about 8 out of 10 times it flashes correctly. but its hard to test on a dead no display/no touch screen phone
edit: correction, not clickbait, but need to signup

Yeah i saw your post a couple of days ago and it is legit , about the file hosting it's not clickbait it's just 4shared and this little guy is older than the xda :laugh::laugh: , i agree that the androidfilehost is faster and more convenient but i'm not the uploader , i just copied it from another source, it would be great if you re-upload it for others and i will update the link.
Now we come to testing: i tested this myself and it is 6.0.1 for sure but i don't remember which release it was cause i updated to 7.1.1 20.32.67.25 release for various reasons, mainly for battery life (spoiler: not much difference and it's still poor) and i will keep flashing / debloating apparently in (in search of incredible) but i'm quite sure this phone is hopeless without a custom ROM from scratch as the amount of services and wakelocks are enormous.
Why don't you participate and use your knowledge in the "allegedly upcoming" Lineage 15.1 hopefully we get a working build before the end of the year :cyclops: i'm sure you are aware of the situation.
And if you're into kernels then kernelwise this phone's kernel was made by noobs ,ASUS put an AMOLED display and they are not using it's features as the blacks are lit and power consumption by the screen is well above an LCD one of the same size.
Long story short buying this phone was/is a mistake.
I actually found the site firmware27 that was hosting 8 ww fw and a couple of cn and jp sku fw.
I tested all 8 ww skus, only 2 work without effort, 6.0.1 dated deb 2017, and the 7.1.1 which I had from a couple of months ago and use the img files in my other thread and which i though u linked here.
Ill be posting a thread and links to both of these files that i ul to afh, and my usage of them, I came to the conclusion that they are asus's fw given to their authorized service centers, they include everything not even available through asus's fw from their site.
Too bad he got most of the files corrupted when he ul'd them to g-drive, my guess
at least now we got 2 fw files to work with, but its a pia to make it a twrp non wipe flashable zip, beyond my skills at this point in time.
edit: i have the one u have linked here which i got a couple of months ago, WW-ZE553KL-11.40.86.71-MR0-user-20170410214554-release.zip,
but firmware27 doesnt have it, and i cant remember where i got it, and by its date youre correct it must be 6.0.1, nougat fw starts with "V20".
so there are actually 3 working fastboot flashable FW out in the wild, boy arent we lucky
i have this phone because a couple of months ago i helped my friend flash fw on it because he was getting poor data signal, i soft bricked and had to learn how to unbrick it, which i did.
its mine as a couple of weeks ago, he dropped it a few feet onto ceramic floor and the screen is dead, no display, no touch, lcd is cracked under the top glass which actually has no cracks, and thats how im using it lol.
i was going to use it as a security camera but i had to learn how to control it remotely, which i did, that was a flashing adventure w/out a working screen

All you need is one fw to start with and after that you can update to whichever release you want without any problem , strait forward from asus site and update via sd card even if it's rooted or bootloader unlocked, you can do anything and even get updates as FOTA app works as soon as you boot cause asus update procedure is very primitive HOWEVER it should be on stock recovery and honestly twrp is pretty much useless here and i didn't seem to need it in anything with this device!! (i use magisk to root), it's not like there's half a dozen of custom ROMs to flashed , the only possible modification is within the stock fw and that's our limit.
If you find a screen replacement under 50$ it is worth it , i knew that 2.5D glass is poor engineering and very fragile, so screen protector and case was crucial since day 1.
Notes:
Don't trust asus download center's description cause i downloaded the latest nougat release before the Oreo (as described in their section) and it turned out to be the first release of their lousy O fw.
cheapest on ebay is over $70can for aftermarket from china. cheap clone? idk
i'll stick w/my note 4 can version as my dd.
i'll upload the working fw i found for redundancy and to give users more options, 4 fw as of now.
i do have the last 7.1.1 b4 oreo
these are actual service tech fw's available to them for restoring phones. supposedly can be use by asus flash tool which i haven't used yet.
they dont change the bootloader lock status or the frp/google account status (to do that use fastboot wipe config)
since it is in a raw format the individual files can be flashed via fastboot for those that would need it.
fyi all fw are exactly the same except for the recovery, boot, system and , emmc_appsboot_8953.mbn(bootloader ?), the radios and other files are the same
i cant use the builtin updater because i cant seem to get the right button combo to work in stock recovery to flash the update and thats after i reinstall the stock recovery and remove root, flashing from bootloader is a breeze.
the only one i can't get adb enabled so i can mirror the screen is the mm 11.40.86.71, the same one you have linked here
when i try to make a custom stock flashable rom it always fails to boot, would u know why?,

I would say let's find a solution to the easy problem and not the to hard one, you want to take 2 blurry steps instead of 2 obvious ones !! i can help you with stock ones just explain more what's the exact problem ? i didn't understand so correct me if i'm wrong : you have no visual indication as the screen is dead right ? or can't boot into the stock recovery at all ?
if you have the bootloader unlocked and no screen indication :
power up wait for the vibration and press volume down 4 times then press power to boot into recovery
wait 10 sec and press volume down 2 times to (update form sd card)
rename the fw .zip file to A so it can be sorted first and it should be in root directory and alone to prevent any miss hits and press volume down 1 time.
and if that didn't work just flash the fw that's provided and redo the steps if you want to update , congratulations now you have a working internals and up to date phone that you can't even boot into it's home screen cause the boot confirmation by email and password is near impossible to bypass without a working display. (there is some methods though )
I don't see the point of a phone without a display at least temporary.
This phone is a joke in it's normal condition let alone in the non , don't waste your time and sell it as parts, if you get 40$ take it.

not impossible, very doable to use a phone even with a dead screen.
after alot of trials and error ...from a new flashed stock thats was completely wiped, i can get to a remotely controlled/viewed phone in about 10mins .
i will write up a tut on that.
i can get that done with all the availabe working raw fw except with the mm 2017/04 release
yes, i have a completely dead screen, no display, no touch. all other phone functions work.
the reason for stock recovery procedure was to update to oreo, but i really dont care if i get it. just seeing if its doable.
playing with it for giggles, going to be a security camera as the cam is vg, useless as a phone that has no working screen.
i can be the sacrificial tester if need be, pretty hard to hardbrick this phone as i also have the back cover off so to disconnect the battery connector for those hard soft brick occasions and/or to make sure phone was completely off b4 doing something
I think I killed my phone please help Asus ze553kl

sounds like a hardware failure not a software/firmware problem, let it rip, time for another phone, phone not worth getting it repaired even if u do it yourself
