i recently attempted to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T (SM-G900A) back to 4.4.2 using odin . After everything was finished , odin told me it failed (succeeded 0 / failed 1)

when i tried to reboot my device , right when i turned it on it said "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again .. I download Kies 3 To my computer and tried to upgrade/update , they told me the lasted stock firmware was 4.4.2 and i tried to update it and they told me that i needed to go to emergency recovery . my device did not show up . Someone please help , i just want my normal phone back :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Im assuming you were on lollipop(5.0), you cant downgrade from that, theres files in the general section for you to use to odin lollipop back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] guntel:
can you post a link to where the lollipop firmware for SM-G900A is? I've been looking around in the general S5 thread, but I still couldn't find it. I'd like to odin lollipop back to my phone. Thank you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
They're in the AT&T S5 general section, the S5 general and ATT general section aren't the same.

Hello EDA Forums

I am having an issue with my Moto E 2015, after unlocking the device.

I had it unlocked, and accidentally hit the relock button. Now, my device is stuck in the fastboot menu. The only options I am able to do are barcodes, power off, and bootloader logs.

When I try to use the other options, my phone flashes the your phone is unlocked message then closes very quickly.

My phone is locked, and has a status code of 2. I cant boot into the OS, because in the bootloader logs, it says "Failed to validate system image".

Also, after relocking the phone, my oem unlock developer console setting was turned off, so I cant flash in a new operating system.

I already have android sdk, and have been trying to get the phone working.

Thank you so much for your time, Allan

See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/warning-bootloader-relocking-t3059595

The short story is that you need to reflash the signed stock firmware for your model using fastboot. Assuming you were running the 5.0.2 stock ROM, you should reflash the 5.0.2 stock ROM signed for your device. Don't try flashing a 5.1 stock ROM with fastboot, as upgrading the bootloader will prevent rollback, and could brick your device in certain scenarios that I won't confuse you with here.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanrx3:
Thank you for the reply. The issue is that I am not able to flash a new os, or stock os to my phone, because it is not unlocked. My oem unlocking access was revoked when I relocked the device.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
No. Your bootloader will allow you to flash signed firmware for your region when locked. When unlocked, it also allows you to flash firmware not for your region, and firmware that is not signed at all. You just need to flash firmware whose CID matches your region.

Hello XDA!

I wanted to ask you for your opinions, I need to get a new phone (last xperia e :c) and I can't decide whether to get Xperia M2 or Lenovo Vibe X2. I need your help to tell me which option is the best, because with my financial state I can either get M2 on a 2yr contract or X2 on a 3yr contract and the dillema I have is that I don't know whether the phone will make it to 3 years, never had a Lenovo device, don't know how long they last. Xperia E was my first Android device and the thing started slowing down a lot, I went through all the ROMS to find the perfect fit, but the hardware was just junk and the power button started failing.

So if you can, please tell me which phone I should get and why. Thanks!

By the way, I know it's difficult to really predict how long a phone will last with lots of factors at work, especially wear and tear, I can say that I won't be taking it to the jungle and that it would spend most of the time outside of harsh enviroments and without harsh handling.

[Verizon LG G2] akilan98:
So I have a VS980 that I attempted to flash SmiLey497's rom (this one here) on. What I am now left with is no recovery and no boot, only a bootloader. I thought I would just flash back to stock unrooted using LG Flash Tool. I got the error message "Model information check fail." After doing some digging, I found the custom LGUP_8794.dll and tried that but got: "CrossDL [] to [VS980]. SWversion []." With the first DLL, the lines before "Model information..." says "SW: " and "SWOV: ". I assume that means that my phone is missing the model information (seeing as the second dll says the same). So I looked around and found that I could edit the .tot file with a hex editor but it just says "CrossDL [] to [NotDefined]. SWversion []." I also tried the .kdz method but that just stops at "Page_Error", not much I can do there. So I don't know what to do anymore, either I have to find a way to get a recovery back or I have to get my VS980 it's information back. But even if I had those things, I would have to flash it through the bootloader. Any ideas?

So my phone suddenly started flickering out of the blue. And had lines going down vertically. I restarted the phone and then the display was fine but the touch screen wouldn't work. Upon another restart it was just a blank screen with white vertical lines.

Figuring something must be wrong with the screen I ordered a new one, and upon install the new screen has the same problem. Blank screen vertical white lines.

Not sure if another component is faulty.

What do you guys recommend?

So the mic piece has a long strip that connects to the motherboard and when I press down on it or wiggle it, the screen flashes so im assuming that component is malfunctioning, and I found a replacement piece on amazon for $17 bucks with prime shipping so hopefully Wednesday the replacement piece will fix my issue.

I'm using an unlocked AT&T G4 on TMobile, so wifi calling would be great. Is it possible flash it now that we have root?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineous:
The wifi calling seems to be intertwined through several packages on the phone. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it'll take some work.

I'd start with going to the T-Mobile forums and ask them to upload the various T-Mobile files from their phones. You can probably find some of them on Androidfilehost.com

If you meant to connect a flash drive or external hard disk to the mini USB and access files in it through wizard then it can't be done. It needs USB Host chip which is not included in wizard. Only PPC I have heard of having this chip is O2 XDA Flame.

I have rooted Htc desire Eye with lollipop. I download xposed installer alpha4 and flashed xposed framework arm.zip. Then i reboot my phone there is message like:

unfortunately com.android.phone stopped.

When i close this message it opens again again again ... I flashed uninstall xposed framework.zip And i reboot my phone and it opens normally. So how can i use xposed framework??

Xposed was updated today and that bug is fixed now, I installed a couple of hours ago and it's working without any glitches so far.

Yup. It's v68, I downloaded it from xposed thread. I downloaded the files, installed the apk like a regular app and then flashed the zip from recovery.
[HTC Desire Eye] karo222:
which file should I download??
[HTC Desire Eye] ventomarme:
The 2nd, 3rd & 6th.

. Flash the 6th (without wipe) using TWRP recovery then reboot.

. Install the 2nd (without uninstall the previous version)

That's all for me.

(The 3rd one is to flash when you face bootloop ect. and need to uninstall xplosed.)
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Hi Guys,

I had some problems with my beloved zenfone 2. Now i can´t enter in bootloader and recovery, but phone boots normaly.

The thing is it seems the partitions are cracked. My last hope was flashing a new recovery and bootloader with the images i got from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835 using some programs to flash direct from phone (Tried with "recovery flasher" and "rom installer") but on "rom installer" app shows #ERROR: cannot locate recovery partition:

The history was : I rooted my phone using the zenfone toolkit, then started a wipe cache partition, which didn´t work and i forced off. After that i can´t made any adb connection - i can go to bootloader but doesn´t find my device and can´t write anything - , but i made TWRP recovery work using the "tethered recovery" as show in http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/alpha-tethered-twrp-asus-zenfone-2-t3123532 and flash the original stock rom. ADB/fastboot still don´t work. After that i entered in TWRP again using the same method and inserted Superuser.zip there, rooting my device. After root i lost Bootloader, but still can go to recovery (using TWRP and CVM programs which have the option "reboot to recovery"), which was still useless since it recognize my phone but adb sideload still don´t work. I even tried the MOFD_update thing - copying the entire rom to sd card and renaming to MOFD update but it shows it can´t update. Then i tried to flash TWRP using the TWRP app and the only thing i did it was lost my recovey too.

Now when i try to go to bootloader only shows the UsB logo (the trident), The same happen if i try to go to recovery by apps.

I think i´ll have to fix partitions mannually, using only phone, but i have no ideia how. Can anyone know what can i do?

Thanks in advance
[ZenFone 2 General] Mononon:
You broke your recovery. Cleaning cache from stock recovery take a LONG time on the ZF2. You have to be patient.

You're still good if you can get into fastboot though. Just execute

fastboot format cache

then boot back into recovery. When you're in fastboot, you need to run

fastboot devices

not adb. Recovery = ADB, bootloader = fastboot

Scratch all that. Reread your post. You've done some very inadvisable things. You should have just formatted from the bootloader instead of bothering to re-root. I have no idea what you've done now.

No. The problems started on my second boot after rooting, i had no chance to unlock bootloader too. I think if i had i can flash a custom recovery using TWRP or CVM apps and flash everything else again, but no, i can´t do that either.

As said above use the terminal app to flash stock recovery by dd command

Make sure u give su before issuing dd

Copy stock recovery to sdcard

Open terminal give these commands one by one

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery

& u r done
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Thank you Sooo much.

Now i have my recovery back, is there a way i can get bootloader back again using commands like that ? (and one bootloader i can use adb\fastboot ?)

I assume now i can use adb/sideload or MOFUPDATE.zip way (inserting an flashable rom with this name in my memory card so the system will flash like an update when i enter in recovery), but i don´t know what exactly i need to do (and what archives i have to use) to have a bootloader again, considering all ways to unbrick zenfone 2 needs fastboot. If i do that with stock Asus rom i can download from asus site will i have bootloader (and acess to fastboot) again? I´m afraid to do that and lose my root acess and still have no fastboot option. With root at least i can use terminal. I´m really afraid of flashing something that really hardbrick my phone since i have no fastboot, only root.

Can i unlock bootloader using terminal ? Maybe it´s safe if i unlock bootloader and then wipe TWRP using only TWRP app. After that i can flash other rooms and always have TWRP to fix if something goes wrong.

Sorry if i´m bothering. And thank you soo much for your help
[ZenFone 2 General] yakub234go:
I assume u now have recovery working

adb sideload full stock rom

Download the one which is bootloader unlockable from the Asus website & make sure u r download the right file for device

Never flash anything with bootloader locked
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Thank you again. Sorry about my insecurities, but i´m still worry. I rooted my phone at first time using the rootkit, one step there says i have to click "checkbeforeaction.bat" which will say i can go with root if i see 1234567ABCDEF as my phone. After that i can´t use adb anymore.

I don´t know why my phone changed to 1234567ABCDEF, i´m not sure if this is the reason i can´t use ADB. After recover my recovery yesterday (thanks for you) i checked "adb devices" on sideload and still shows 1234567ABCDEF. Still afraid to flash a stock rom and the only thing will change is i lost my root.

Maybe it´s a silly questions, but To use sideload i need a .img or a .zip file ? the stock room will flash stock recovery and stock bootloader again? Will i see 1234567ABCDEF again? Can i sideload a pre-rooted room ?Can i sideload just droidboot.img, boot.img and recovery.img? will it be placed on correct place on my phone? I´m really afraid of doing something wrong again.
[ZenFone 2 General] yakub234go:

I´m pretty sure this 123456789ABCDEF thing did something bad. I think i will have to fix this enviroment first. I still can do nothing. Maybe adb is connecting just with this emulator and that´s the reason i can´t flash anything

Actualy yes, when i got TWRP thetered recovery (even at that time i have no adb/fastboot) i flashed this original stock rom. I lost bootloader when i flashed superuser using, again, TWRP thetered recovery.

Do a adb shell getprop from pc

C if the serial no u get while u do adb devices is there
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
What that will do and How can i do that ? I have no way to go to bootloader, just recovery directly from apps.

Sorry, i have no no much knowledge in these things.
[ZenFone 2 General] knowledge@heart:
Look, Let me Explain

From what i read, You can boot into Android Successfully.

First thing: UNROOT

Now, instead of doing any sideloading stuff, do any of the 2 options.

Download the latest Firmware Zip from Asus Website. Select the correct Model Number (551ML or 550ML) and correct SKU (WW, CN, JP). It is 1 gig in size.

1. Place this Zip file on your Internal Storage (Do not change the name. Let it be what asus gave it)

As soon as you unplug from your PC, You will get update notification. Tap on it. and wait for it to update.

Alternatively

2. Rename the downloaded zip as MOFDSDUPDATE.zip and place it on your External Sd Card.

Now Reboot into recovery. The process will start automatically.

Both these methods do the same thing. i.e. Restore the device to stock. These methods will replace your bootloader too. So, if any case, you will have everything fresh.

Keep in mind that in the first method, you need to place the zip on the internal storage, whereas in the 2nd one, on the external.

After doing this, do a factory reset from recovery (And this time be patient). You will have a clean device.
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Can´t i do directly from recovery ?
[ZenFone 2 General] knowledge@heart:
Both these methods will eventually work from the recovery

In the first method,after tapping on the notification, the device will enter recovery and start updating

In the second method, you have to just reboot into recovery. The process then starts automatically
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Yes, but since i installed a clean stock rom when i got thetered TWRP recovery and still can´t use adb/fastboot after that, why this time will be different?
[ZenFone 2 General] knowledge@heart:
If you restore the Stock Rom using the Stock recovery, the device will revert to pure factory state.

If you have downloaded the zip, you will see that it contains stock fastboot images (boot.img and droidboot.img file).

If you are unable to use any commands, that is because of a corrupted fastboot(droidboot).

So, I feel doing any of my 2 methods will replace the droidboot without the help of a pc.

Additionally, it wouldn't hurt you. As the method which i gave you is completely safe and doesn't hurt warranty. You are just clean installing android and boot files.

Just try it!!
[ZenFone 2 General] Usernamezf2:
Thanks man,

I will try this later at home. as i said, i´m afraid because when i flashed the stock rom i still have no adb/fastboot acces and i´m afraid to lost root, since terminal is the only thing i have now to try to "fix" something.

Maybe the safest way was try to fix droidboot using terminal, like yakub234go helped me fix recovery, but i don´t know how to do that.

[ZenFone 2 General] yakub234go:
Now the only think I can advice you is to unroot ur phone via supersu app give the phone to service centre

Or you can try the same thing as u did with recovery BUT AT UR OWN RISK

I REPEAT AT UR OWN RISK as I have never tried it

Copy droidboot.img to sdcard

Here it is via terminal app

su

dd if=/sdcard/droidboot.img of=/dev/block/by-name/fastboot

reboot fastboot

That's it u should have ur fastboot working now
