SAMSUNG CLONE GT-I9300 stuck on logo

I have a Samsung clone GT-I9300 Android 4.0.4 stuck on logo

After succesfully rooting it, i tried to instal yahoo contacts apk for receving calls.I changed some permissions on this apk and after that my phone rebooted and got stuck in the SAMSUNG LOGO. I tried to data wipe factory reset, but still any answer from my phone.IT REMAINS ON SAMSUNG LOGO.

I read about flashing and cwm and stuff, but my phone seems not to recognize any of the programs.WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Never ever download both boot & recovery at the same time, anything wrong & it will not boot... Use this tool here... Connect your device to pc & start MTKdroidTools -> Blocks Map -> Create scatter file -> save it to the same folder that has your ported recovery.img

Flash only recovery.img & if anything wrong, it will only brick your recovery & not the whole OS... :laugh:

I have Samsung Galaxy Note2 GT-N7102 MTK6577 which comes with Custom build ver i968.API1502.02.09.F.C-V1.0.1B01P88.

Later, I flashed with Custom build ver i968.i968.02.05.G.A-V1.0.1B04P85 which I downloaded from chinaecarts.com.

Now I cannot connect to the camera from app. Got this error "Can't connect to the camera". But, the factory test works fine with the camera. This eliminates hardware problem. I suspecting some configuration problem or somewhere mismatched.

Sorrry to hijack things a little yuweng but I think it is very relevent to the thread & I am not sure if it has already been reported here or not (still a little fuzzy after a tough night shift :eek:) but TWRP 2.4.2.0 now has some great new features :victory: that will help many MTK65xx users wanting root and su on there device. :D

Why anyone would want to use any other recovery is beyond me :confused: :laugh:

TWRP here​

TWRP 2.4.2.0​

What's new in 2.4.2.0:

Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devices

Add a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added)

Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rooted:victory:

Add a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systems

Check and offer to fix root permissions if broken

Add an option for a 24 hour clock display instead of AM/PM (aka military time)

Move stock recovery reflash check to occur during the reboot cycle

Add support for some MTK6xxx devices:fingers-crossed:

Change libtar to vfork to help prevent memory problems

Add a "clicked" effect to most buttons, file selector, and listbox

Improve timezone listbox to be more like file selector (per pixel kinetic scrolling, etc)

Remove some no longer used settings (Forced MD5 sum on zips, size checking on image backups)

Other minor bugfixes and improvements

While trying out suggestions and recommendations from this forum, I update the firmware of my phone many times. Prior to doing so, I backup my ROM using CWM 6.0.1.5.

After the last attempt for solution to my camera problem mentioned in previous post, I tried to restore my ROM without any success. During the Wipe data/factory reset, I encounter the following error message:

Wipe data/factory reset

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Error while formatting /data!

Formatting /cache…

Formatting /sd-ext…

No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure…

Data wipe complete.​

My phone shows blank screen when I boot up. But I still able to enter to the CWM recovery. Is my phone bricked?

Can the expert advise what is the problem and how I can fix it?

Thanks.

I follow the tutorial in pdf file and try to root my newly purchase S7180 device.

I stuck at step in page 8 of the PDF file when I attempt to download recovery.img from my device.

I follow these steps stated in the PDF file:

Shutdown your MT6577, click Read Back, plugin your USB cable & it shall starts to upload

Some MT6577 requires the battery to be taken out in order for it to work while others requires battery to work ! Unplug & re-plug usb cable & it shall upload

The device manager in Windows 8 keep show and hide "MT65xx preloader" device repeatedly after I connect the USB cable to both end and click the "Read Back" button in SPFT. I suspect is the USB driver's problem. I attempt to install "Preloader USB VCOM (Android) (COM5)" for the device but it won't help. Please advice. Thank you.

Thanks for replying. MTKDroid Tools is for rooting, backup. Backup function is Not work in my PC (win 7 x64), I need to figure out. So I dont have the boot.img for my device, other than live in the device. MXNEC 307 using emmc. I need to learn how to copy boot.img from emmc. I know how to do from mtd device . I tried to flash recovery only to ensure the flash tools is working with risk I loss my recovery in case i got wrong recovery.img ... and it was happened. I'm not really interesting in rooting only (I will do rooting at last), I wish to have writable /system partition or flashable boot, android, userdata etc partitions. I used to use fastboot , but this MT6577 device use u-boot . I'm not techie person, thus my understanding, u-boot so far did not have fastboot interface . This flash tools is by mean, substitution of "fastboot interface" which can flash the device safely. I have small experience to build kernel and ROM, I hope I will be able to build customs ROM for this device. I need to ensure my device is flashable.
