Flash Stock Rom to Lava iris 504q

Hello guys , finally I've decided to post a help topic for those who are not been able to flash or re-flash Stock Rom

to LAVA iris 504q as I'm seeing many are facing to do so. And believe me the process described below works 100%

as I, myself have done this for more than once without any hick-ups...

Requirements:

Stock ROM of LAVA iris 504q (compressed)( you can easily find it in LAVA iris 504q development forum in XDA , just Google it )

Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 (can be downloaded from LAVA IRIS 504q development thread in XDA]

A computer

Install drivers for your phone using pdanet or any corresponding drivers package (I think pdanet is the safest and most effective one with

any phone, given today) (Details can be obtained by googling)

Extract the Stock ROM from the downloaded compressed folder (just like, LAVA_IRIS504Q_S005_20130428.rar, which is already uploaded

by moulnisky in LAVA IRIS 504q Development forum in XDA) and delete the "checksum.ini" file from the extracted folder.

Extract and open the SP Flash Tools.

In SP Flash Tools, click on Scatter-Loading and the program will ask you the location of the scatter loading file for your device.

In the extracted folder of the stock rom, select the file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc" which is our scatter loading file.

For safe operation USB debugging must be enabled in your phone's "developer options".

Switch off your phone (Remove the battery to make sure it is switched off).

In Flash Tool, go to Options and Click USB Mode so that it is enabled. Click options again and then go to DA Download All > Speed and finally select High Speed. Click the Download option (present on the right of Firmware > Upgrade option) and the flash tool will start looking for your phone.

Connect your phone now. The Flash Tool will start the flashing process, the progress of which can be viewed from a yellow progress bar at the bottom of the flash tool.

Notice the yellow line at bottom telling the progress

Don't interrupt this process as it can potentially brick your device. Make sure no power interruption takes place. (Use a laptop to ensure this).

After the process completes, a green ring will appear on your device signalling that the process was successful.

Disconnect your phone.

You have to root your phone again if you want to.

That's it. :o

Please hit "thanks" if I've helped you.:fingers-crossed:

Best file manager for root users

Ok guys, I know that for a loooong time Root Explorer reigned supreme, but not it seems like there are other contenders, sooooo my question is,

What is the best file explorer for root users??

I gave Solid Explorer a try a while ago, but it gets finicky about the version of BusyBox you're using, has trouble overwriting files in certain root directories, isn't as clear about permissions, users, etc as Root Explorer, and now the reviews are starting to go south in the market due to some new updates.

I *think* that Astro and ES explorer both have added root functionality, but I'm not sure if they can contend with Root Explorer. I'm sure there are other file explorers with root capabilities that I'm missing, so how about it?

Kindle Fire HD 7 Overclock kernal

I have successfully flashed my Kindle Fire HD 7 to Hashcode's cm-10.1-20130726-UNOFFICIAL-tate rom. All went well and I am experiencing zero issues. My problem is I can't figure out how to successfully flash the kernal to overclock it to 1.5ghz. I've tried using the kernels posted in the thread for Hashcode's rom and neither the 1.5ghz or the 1.2ghz will work for me. When I tried to flash to the 1.5ghz kernal it seem to work in TWRP but when I reboot it gets stuck at the start up screen where it display "Kindle Fire" with the word "Fire" in blue. Then since that did't work I thought I would flash it back ti the stock 1.2ghz and the same thing happens. I ended up having to re-flash the rom, camera fix and gapps again to get it back up and running. Am I doing something wrong? The instructions were to just flash the kernel in TWRP and reboot. I read in the thread that this kernel had problems on older Kindle Fire HDs but mine is brand new. I thought about trying the 1.4ghz kernel but I can't find a working link. Any help solving this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I had used android-SDK (ADB.exe) to flash/install a custom ROM onto the phone, so I have a feeling it has something to do with the pc driver associated with the android-SDK?

If it has stock recovery then how did you make or plan to restore any nandroid backups? Are you using an online backup solution or something?
[General Questions and Answers] SuperDroid519:
No we had the phone rooted with CM 12, TWRP and everything for about a week. She tried to do something last night and when I woke up today she told me the phone wouldn't boot and she couldn't get to recovery. When I tried to fix it it would boot to CM logo and freeze. After that I had done some research and eventually i managed to get into the recovery which was no longer TWRP, but the stock recovery. A factory data reset from there reset things fresh and then I came here as I was downloading the stock rom for the toolkit.

Works like a charm now. When she gets home I'll root and restore the back up.

[MENTION=6703319]abdulnasirbiz[/MENTION], how about the GlamourS5™ ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can't find one for t mobile you can look for an at&t ROM that has it, but you'll have to change a couple of things, the at&t and T-Mobile guys can get you set on the changes that are required, it usually involves flashing a rilblob zip and some build.prop edits, you can also look at some d2lte ROMs that have what you are looking for if your device is a d2att device, the d2lte stuff works on all the d2 variants of S3, I can't tell you specifically if there is anything with what you are looking for because I'm not familiar with all the ROMs available but I can broaden the scope of where you might find it.

Yes, the easiest would be to use Titanium Backup to make backups of your apps and data, then if you flash another gapps pack you can use Titanium Backup to restore any of your previous apos you want to keep and you can also restore any app data that you'd like to keep.

Thanks. I have found one ROM like that but it is for s3 AT&T. I really need your help to install this on my T-Mobile version T999. Can you please link me to a page that can help me install this AT&T ROM on T-MOBILE T999 ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The ROM installs the same as any other ROM, flash it in recovery. I'm not an AT&T or T-Mobile user, I just know that AT&T and T-Mobile can share ROMs, as I said, you'll have to flash a RILblob zip(its a zip that you flash in recovery after you flash the ROM and Gapps) and then edit your build.prop so that everything works as it should. You'll have to get the AT&T or T-Mobile guys to tell you where to get the RILblob you need and what to edit and build.prop. [MENTION=2434828]cresch[/MENTION]07 had a T-999 that he did this on, ask him, I'm sure he can help you with that, if not then you'll have to go to some AT&T/T-Mobile threads and ask users there how this is done and exactly what you need.

I've always manually changed boot ani by renaming the existing ani by putting .bak as an additional extension then placing the new ani in the folder, that way if there is an issue I can fix by removing the added ani then removing .bak extension from the existing one. Its a bit round-a-bout but there's less issues doing it that way if it doesn't work.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're on stock non-rooted there isn't much you can do. You may just be getting full if junk. You can go into settings>applications and disable any unused apps, that way they aren't running at any time, you can also install something like Cleanmaster and use its function that removes junk files, just don't use its task killer function, task killers aren't really any good because it overworks your system by having to reload things that you've killed, that steals RAM and puts excessive strain on your battery.

I need a bit of advice, I made a boot animation using 2 different ideas in part0 is one idea that runs well at 4fps and I'm using someone else's animation for part1 (with their permission) however they had it set at 24fps, the desc.txt is as follows:

1080 1920 4

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Once on my phone the first part runs fine but it won't show the second part of the boot animation, but the original animation of the second 1 works fine on my phone alone.. Any ideas?

Wi-Fi not working properly.

For the past 5 days the Wi-Fi on my phone is not working properly.

When I turn it ON(which it takes 4-5 minutes in doing so), it connects and everything works as it should for few seconds, all my pending WhatsApp messages load up and all, but then it suddenly stops working, the signal strength drops very low even when I'm right in front of my Wi-Fi router.

Also, the signal strength indicator on the status bar puts an exclamation mark to the right of the signal indication (which I guess indicates a limited connection).

I can't find my device on the network when searching from a different device(on ES File Explorer) on the same network if when it shows connected.

Yesterday I was at McDonald's, I had forgotten to switch Wi-Fi off before leaving home and it showed connected to my Wi-Fi. O_o

At first I thought it might be a software error so tried booting into safe mode, factor reset, and entire firmware reflash(2 times with different 2 different versions).

Maybe it's a hardware failure.

I am(and was) on stock ROM which is an AOSP 4.1.2 ROM with unofficial TWRP.

Although, I was using a custom kernel back when the problem appeared but I was on for more than a month without any issues so I doubt it might be the reason(but then again, don't know for sure).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OK, I got the reply from him, all you have to do is delete the asserts(getprop) lines in the updater script. Are you familiar with how to do this? If not then I would find a different ROM for T-Mobile with the option that you are looking for.

Did the kernel tweak your radio/modem? The kernel may have damaged radio hardware depending on how much the kernel pushed it but I kinda doubt that is what is going on. The kernel may be staying behind even when flashing different firmware. Try going back to the kernel you had before you started using that one.

It could also be a ROM issue that just took time to show up.

Hmmmm... Are you saying you restored a nandroid backup or restored just system partition from one of your nandroids? Or are you saying you reflashed your stock firmware? If you formatted and it didn't fix anything then I'd say reflash your entire stock firmware. If that doesn't work then I'm not sure what you've got going on, if it doesn't work then whatever you did modified something in a place that the stock firmware doesn't get.

Use jrummys root browser and unzip the ROM then edit the update script then rezip, when it asks you about what compression to use choose "best", then try flashing the ROM

I remember replacing the modem.img file in a ROM with the modem.img file of my original stock rom in order to make a dual SIM rom work with my single SIM phone. But I'm confused as to why it's still occurring even after reinstalling the factory software with a program that was provided by the manufacturer . AKAIK the program completely formats the phone including the kernal.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know all the particulars about it but sometimes when you play around with the modem or how the radio functions it changes things in places that the stock firmware doesn't touch, its still there under all the layers, I don't know if that's your issue or not but it happens different ways for different devices and what to do to fix it varies.

Have you tried piecing it back together the way you had it before you switched the modem? With the ROM you replaced the modem in before you switched the modem.
[General Questions and Answers] SuperDroid519:
I'll explain.

I use the Alcatel OT Idol X 6040A which is a single sim phone. Most if not all mods available are designed for the dual sim version, 6040D. After installing these ROMs on to a single sim phone, you can not connect the network band that corresponds to the single sim versions. You have to copy your original modem.img file, replace the one that comes with the new rom and rename it accordingly.

So in the end it's always been MY img file that I've been using. I've even reverted to original rom and replaced that with the one I copied from my phone before I ever even rooted for the very first time.

I should also mention that after the first replacement and upgrade to the new ROM my SMS worked fine and then eventually stopped. It's bugging me because GO SMS works fine.
