Reflashed recovery tar file once I got into odin. Then restored my system from backup apparently something happened to it in the past few days to where I could not access recovery or download no matter what keys or methods I used. So just reflashed recovery once I got into odin using my jig and restore system. Now when I select reboot to recovery or download it works as well as the key combo. That's it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wseyller:
I have lots of experience flashing android roms and this may be a first for me.

Flashed latest MMuzzyrom 4.3 vanilla. Originally had latest stock rooted.

Everything worked flashed full gapps for 4.3 right after it and booted right into android. Everything was previously wiped clean. rebooted soon after and it stick on "google" with "unlock"

screen for half an hour before giving up.

Tried second time and booted right into the new rom. I forgot about the previous reboot issue. spent all day getting most of my apps installed and everything setup. Went to reboot and same crap . Tried clearing cache and dalvik no help.

Wish I would have not wasted my time. I only wish their is a way to salvage this before flashing another rom or a stock image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playpolo4life:
I have lots of experience as well and this is the first time I've run into this issue. The same **** has been happening to me on all 4.3 ROMs. I had to wipe everything, including internal storage, and reflash a 4.2.2 ROM to solve it. Wish I knew the issue here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wseyller:
I decided to try flashing a different 4.3 ROM and it hung up for some reason during booting. I then decided to flash the factory image. Then tried the different ROM I downloaded. Seems to be good now. I still don't know what caused it but life is good now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playpolo4life:
Can I ask where you found the factory image? I just picked up a Gnex so I'm still figuring everything out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wseyller:
Sorry not sure. Had it saved on my hard drive for a while. Try to download galaxy root toolkit I think it has the ability to download it for you if I remember right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
Wow.

GOOGLE!

Literally Google hosts the damn images for you.

Search for galaxy nexus factory images.

Did everyone forget who gives us this OS? A search company.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
What I can't understand is that I have no issues on stock. Zero. Is my device the best device in the world?

Why are you people flashing 4.3 "vanilla ROMs" through a custom recovery when we've got FACTORY IMAGES.

Is it really that hard to root a stock rom? Just follow the whole situation going on with su and you'll know!

Oh and drop the damn toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playpolo4life:
You guys need to chill out, that's for damn sure.

i was flashing a stock rom on my att gs3 and i thought i went smooth until it rebooted. it gets to the samsung flashing screen and stays there. what do i need to do or is there anything i can do to get it back working.:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Michael3214:
You'll be fine, but a few questions. ........ what rom were you flashing and what recovery do you have installed?

When you flashed stock did you wipe data & cache or just flash without wiping?
[General Questions and Answers] Bishal Pranto Roy:
wipe

/data

/system

/cache

.

and flash rom again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingserpent:
Awesome man!! :d
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daemol:
Thanks

Cool. Flashed it without any trouble. But when I flashed, my battery was 100%. After reboot, it is showing 15%. Don't know why.

Anyways, awesome work :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Thats not recovery problem. Once charge the Phone upto 100% allow two cycles of complete battery drain and analyze battery life.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
As of now I'm using a deodexed modified cooked stock ROM. I have not ventured into custom Roms. Will be definitely checking out the best one and port it but I can do that only in free time like Saturday or sunday. Just tell me if you know a good one.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] 4peace1:
can u make TRWP for e3 @OP
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
We need twrp from a similar device to port it. Other issue with twrp is the size of the recovery. It is bigger than the partition space alloted for the recovery on the device. We would require other tool to increase the partition size of recovery first to enable flashing the the bigger image. So its not straight forward as cwm in our case.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 4peace1:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] daemol:

Found out the issue. The recovery is showing a different device vendor (Huawei) and the original boot.img is showing another vendor (HTC).

I had to white-list the vendor in linux (udev and ~/android/adb_usb.ini)

Now it is working fine.

Rom Not Working for me...

Flash the rom with the instruction given in OP but I am struck at Bootloop can u help me out with that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Are you sure? did you format system, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache?

Try once again clearing cache and formatting system and flash the zip. If it still doesn't work you can easily restore your Original firmware from CWM backup and restore. I would assume that you would have backed up your original firmware before installing the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gauraav:
I did that two times with all the stuff u mentioned but no luck stuck in boot loop & now I am using stock ROM . can u help me out to flash this ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Sure will help you. But I need to know what is going wrong. Just give me some time to do my testing. Will get back to you.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Can work, but someone needs to customize it to your device. This ROM can not be flashed directly on your phone. There are chances of bricking the device.

sir any chance of new rom other than xperia hd from you????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Send me the link to the firmware or provide me your System back up of chinese firmware. I will try to make a rom out of it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milav:

but for 1.10 i need to upload zip file that will take time its around 172 mb

[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Who said it's not working? I have used it several times to restore my back up while making and testing roms. As I said earlier I won't post something if does not work.

Probably your firmware base is completely different like chinese firmware. If it's one for india it's surely working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milav:
yes i have chinese firmware thats why its not working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milav:
as i said here is link to 1.10 update of chinese firmware

this completes chinese firmware offline update support

with these files you can install chinese firmware & update it to its latest version offered by GIONEE

you just need to put file in storage and from updater tool (system update) select offline update and select file rest will be done automatically

Wanted to know how is xperia HD ROM? I mean are you having our did u have any issues with it?? I want to flash it but would like to know what I should expect..

Thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
This is the best ROM available for E3. I have been using it since the day I ported it. I tried many other ROMS but eerytime came back to this one. It sleek, featureful and most stable ROM. But please proceed carefully and flash at your own risk. Please backup your rom and make sure you are able to restore if you ever need to come back to stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Srinath_Newbie:
Thanks buddy!

Already flashed it ;)

N it's sexy!

Only issue I've seen till now is my capacitive buttons are not lighting up.. Any idea what to do?

Thanks in advance!

<<Xperia hd on Gionee e3>>
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
No issue here with capacitive buttons. Are you using Xposed framework and GravityMod, there you have options for disabling and enabling capacitive buttons for notifications .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Srinath_Newbie:
Flashed Xperia v1 n d capacitive buttons came back on :)

Now the issue is with the vibrate on touch option. Disabling it from settings doesn't really disable it when typing messages :( help pls!

Thanks in advance! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
come on brother it works, I hate vibrations while typing, so i always keep it off. Check properly. Or just check if you have any option in keyboard...

Cant root after update released on 30th Oct

Hi,

I just updated the system upgrade OTA, that was released on 30th Oct 2013, and once upgraded, I lost root and cant root it using the motochopper. Any solutions please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milav:
are you sure you cant root it back?? root should not go away just install superuser app it should work also recovery will be lost for sure

you must reinstall recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vu2pmc:
Yes, when I run the batch file, it says, already exists and then failure, then says cleaning and reboot.

Once I run the batch file, the super user is back.

However, when I run an app like clock sync,it says no root available.

Please help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milav:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Did you flash the custom rom over Indian firmware? There are two versions of Indian firmware. You must be on the one which was quite different and custom roms were not fully functional as pointed out by Gouraav. He was facing the same problem. Later he fixed the problem himself. So you have two options now for running super smooth xperia HD Rom without any bugs.

1. Contact hours a and ask him the changes. He made. I think he had to remove few codes for gionee from boot.img. But he can tell you better.

2. You can Flash Chinese firmware using spflash tool and then flab custom recovery by lopestorm for Blue life play. Then flash the xperia rom.. and restore the boot.img of the backed up Chinese rom from advance restore. Reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deltamax2:
Did you flash the custom rom over Indian firmware? no i flashed all the ROMs over Chinese firmware...

New Carliv Touch Recovery 2.1_CWM 6.0.4.4

Guys,

Updated the OP with the Newly Ported Touch recovery by Carliv. Its CWM version 6.0.4.4. But Please remember its based on Chinese base, so it may not work on Indian Base Firmware. I have tested the recovery and it works perfectly fine.

It should also work on Blue Life Play as well as General Mobile Discovery, but I have not tested.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deltamax2:
flashing instructions

hi thanks for the recovery, just came back to Chinese firmware....whats the flashing instructions for Calrliv Touch Recovery..is it same as CWM..

also Chinese firmware doesn't have gapps, so i tried to install play store.apk, but it force closes..same for gmail...

tried flashing gapps, but no use...any solution will be helpful....:confused:

also any update/availability of Indian firmware...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trip007in:
Yes, Flashing instructions are same as stated for earlier version of recovery, use mobile uncle utility to flash.

Coming to chinese firmware, after flashing the chinese firmware, you can switch to a custom ROM, which will have every component including the Google package. I'm currently running PUREXPERIA ported from Xperia C firmware on my phone. If you are interested let me know. Or you can also run the XPERIAHD as posted in OP, that should resolve your problem.

I have not come across with any Gionee E3 Stock firmware for India.
