[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuestX00504:
Hello everyone, I am trying to go back to stock rom/firmware on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (G900T)

I had a recovery, but I misplaced the SD Card that had it, so now I am trying to use Odin to do this.

I downloaded Odin and the firmware from this link: http://xdaforums.com/tmob...mware-t3042400

but no matter, which Odin I use, or which Firmware I try, it keeps failing. What can I do?

Also, now when I try to boot into recovery it says ''Firmware upgrade encountered a problem, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''

EDIT:

After many attempts of flashing, I was successfull getting Android 5.0 back on to my phone. It turns on and works perfectly, but now I have run into a different problem.

T-Mobile keeps pushing to update to 5.1 / 5.1.1. but everytime I try, it downloads, boots to recovery, starts installing and fails. What can I do about this?

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
I got the Kindle Fire 2 a few years ago as my first Android device. I stupidly used N2AOS (now PerfectlyAndroid.com) to install Cyanogenmod 10 (I think it was 10). After a while I got fed up with the bad battery life, so I tried to use their restore tool to go back to the Amazon ROM, but it failed somehow. Since then, the device will boot up to a Kindle Fire logo then a Fastboot screen with a red and green light blinking.

I've since become a lot more knowledgeable about how custom ROMs work, but I still can't find a way to fix this thing. ADB and Fastboot don't recognize it, even with the Amazon and generic drivers installed. There's only one button, so there's no real way to get into Fastboot that I can see. Recently, I decided to try and fix it again, and I picked up a Fastboot cable, but the device is still not recognized by Windows or Linux so it doesn't matter. Any ideas on how I can get a working recovery and Android installation on this thing?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Are you using the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 <insert command here> "? Since the Kindle Fire tablets aren't manufactured by Google, you have to put a custom USB id so it will be recognized by ADB/Fastboot.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

Interesting, I hadn't tried that yet, but unsurprisingly it doesn't work. It just says waiting for device forever.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Which ADB drivers do you have installed? I have the official amazon ADB drivers which you can download through Android SDK. I have a kindle fire 2 and a kindle fire hd 8.9" and those are the only drivers that work with both devices. If you don't have those, I can tell you how to get them.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

If you don't have the official drivers, here's how you get them:

Let's start by uninstalling the drivers you already have.

1. For Windows 7 or newer, open your start menu and type "device manager" and press enter. For Windows XP, open your start menu and open control panel and switch to classic view. Select device manager. If you have your Kindle connected, it should show up as "ADB Composite Interface" or something along those lines.

2. Right-click your Kindle and select "Uninstall". If it shows up as otter2, then you don't have the ADB drivers installed.

3. Disconnect your Kindle.

Now, let's install the official drivers.

1. Install Android SDK. Link: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other (Download the zip)

2. Extract the zip to your desktop.

3. Open SDK Manager.exe and once it loads, select Tools and Manage Add-On Sites then select User Defined Sites.

4. Click New and put this in the box: https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/resist/addon.xml

5. Scroll down and select Kindle Fire USB Driver

6. Click Install x Packages (x being the number of packages you have selected) and wait for it to finish downloading.

7. Close SDK Manager and go to the extras folder then amazon then kindle_fire_USB_driver and then run KindleDrivers.exe. Wait for it to finish.

8. Open device manager and right click your kindle and select Update drivers and browse my computer and pick from a list of drivers

9. Select ADB Composite Interface and click next. It will pop up with a warning saying Windows can't verify that its compatible with your device. Just click yes to install it.

10. You should be able to use fastboot or ADB now.

If something goes wrong, tell me what step you were on and what went wrong and I will try to fix it.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
I'm already using the Amazon drivers from the SDK, and I've already tried the generic Android ADB drivers. Same result. Both with and without drivers installed, it shows up as Otter2-Prod4 in the device manager, under "other devices".
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
That means the drivers aren't installed correctly. Reinstall them.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
I've done the steps again carefully, but ADB Composite Interface doesn't appear in the list of available driver types in Device Manager. There is an entry for Android USB Devices, but it only includes HTC Devices, presumably because I've used a One M8 with this computer in the past.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Try to uninstall your HTC drivers temporarily, as those drivers may be conflicting with the Kindle drivers
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
Any idea how I would do that? I don't have the HTC phone anymore and nothing HTC-related shows up under Programs and Features in Windows.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
For why it would conflict with your Kindle drivers, some devices have similar device definitions, so your computer might be thinking that your Kindle is your old HTC device.

For you not having the HTC device anymore, I don't know how HTC drivers are installed, so I can't really tell you how to manually uninstall them. Try searching online how to uninstall them manually.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
It worked! Fastboot detects the device as 6F12000600000001!

Unfortunately the TWRP site seems to be down right now, so I can't act on it, but thank you so much for the help.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
No problem! Always glad to help!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
Well, TWRP.me is up again, but it seems like they don't actually have a build for otter2. I found a blog here: http://tipsstrips.blogspot.com/2015/02/install-twrp-on-amazon-kindle-fire-2nd.html

with an old download for a TWRP build for it as well as a bootloader and boot image, but when I flash them with fastboot as decribed, it says that the flash succeeded but the Kindle still only displays the Fastboot screen with the blinking light. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Have you tried using fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
Yes, it just reboots to the same Fastboot screen.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
There is the option to reset boot options from the second bootloader, but from what you're saying it's just booting straight to fastboot mode... Try and flash the stock partitions back on your Kindle and then see what happens.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
Any idea where I can find a stock image? I don't remember backing it up when I initially used N2AOS over 3 years ago.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Accually, try this: fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1

Some people have said that this fixes the problem of booting to recovery/fastboot right away

Just as a disclaimer, that command I gave you is VERY powerful and might mess up your Kindle even more than it already is, so I'm not responsible if doing that command permanently bricks your Kindle, you are the one responsible since you were the one that decided to go through with issuing this command...

Let's cross our fingers and hope that this works!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
I ran it because I'm not too concerned about losing this thing since it's been nonfunctional for a long time.

The command finished and nothing happened. I tried rebooting and running fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery and it still just boots to the Fastboot screen.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Well... I don't really know where you can get backups of the stock partitions. If you had a Kindle Fire HD 8.9", that would be a different story, as I still have my backups of the stock partitions. Try to search around for tools to restore your Kindle, or even better, the stock partitions themselves.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
I'll ask around. Thanks again for the help!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] :
When I unplugged the Kindle from the computer to turn it off, it turned back on again then went to the normal boot screen. I pressed the power button to enter the bootloader, then into TWRP and I've succesfully flashed CM11. Thanks so much for the help!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
No problem!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Yeah it must work well, if you had unlocked your bootloader, give your feedback ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Well, so far i didn't see anything wrong, after all is the stock rom from Sony that is running behind the miui, so there should be no bug :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] medosharaf21:
Ok

its amazing how you can download things over the official sites.

- NFC not working... Waiting...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
So what is your problem?

Ok, this Rom is not development by OP. Report it if you like.

But he tells how to flash an gives support. This is much more than you do.

Just my 2 cent.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fekajo:
Can i flash this directly from my xperia z1 unlocked bootloader with Lollipop ? Or i need to use a .ftf for go back to Kitkat ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Yes. No. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
You can flash over another firmware, i was on lollipop when i flashed via recovery this rom ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
The way we do in Brazil

Look... i'm not a developer, but like me, a see many people in the thread of Miui V6 asking about this one and they are debating about V7 on the V6's thread, so... what if i help this guys and the other who want to download it from miui directly but don't know any feedback from it?

I'm not asking for money, i just openned this thread because i want to help, like we do here in Brazil :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
I'd like to celebrate carnival, like you do in Brazil. ;)

Sorry for OT. :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fekajo:
in installation i see MIUI V6 :/
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
I believe it's a port because the miui V7 is Lollipop, but if you look at the miui download website (http://en.miui.com/download.html) and search for xperia z1 you'll find Miui V7 and not V6
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Thanks Man! You are welcome to come to brazil and meet carnival as well as our culture from the south region that is so beautiful as carnival, if you come, send me any message ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] skatopsixos:
First of all, you are in xda!! tons of tutorials and how-to lies on this site. if you want to ask how to flash roms etc, you are in the wrong section.

Secondly

I am sure miui has a support forum for just this reason.

And third

I am not trying to be judgemental, i just like to argue.

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

How exactly are you helping and whats your feedback? Cause the way i see it we talking about the same things about miui kk over and over again. Same problems then, same now.

I am not trying to attack you or something, just finding this thread pointless
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Ok... I Get it, so please, can you provide me the support page of this ? Because i really want to see what people will tell about it and if they'll find any bug, Sorry for inconvenient... I'll close this thread after your anwser :good: Big Hugh!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TFutoMaki:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] skatopsixos:
This so satisfying...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
First of all that's for MIUI v6. This is MIUI v7 and its a beta.

Secondly, the MIUI forums are typically not as popular or friendly as XDA (for eg: their credit system and all that), so having a support forum in XDA is useful to anyone who doesn't want to go to the MIUI forum. Also, there might be people who want a new ROM but haven't heard of MIUIv7 being available for our device (such as myself). Its useful for such people too. The has made this thread for the good of all XDA Z1 users and is trying his best to provide support for all the users, as evident from the number of replies he has already.

To conclude, I don't understand what your problem is. Unless you are a forum moderator, you have no right to demand the OP to close his thread or what not. You can, at most, tell whatever crappy reasons you have for the thread to be closed to a moderator, and see what happens.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TFutoMaki:
Which server? Is Mega alright?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Thanks! You just get my words, I just trying to help because, like you, I don't like the miui forums, it is not easy and there is no support for smartphones that are not in the "Top" so, probably who go to this thread and ask for help, will not get fast as here...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
I will add to mega and put the link here to you, to help, this server of miui is really bad... I just ask to you a little time, cause I'm travelling and I get back at Sunday, so... At Sunday I provide another link ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Sorry man, I was answering the people who don't like to help the others...

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Custom recovery? Tell me where exactly you want help ;)

How to flash
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KennyG123:
Here's a novel idea...

How about you read the thread and first post (OP means Original Post) before you do something that may destroy your very expensive device

Stated in the OP:

Flashing

Download the Rom and Gapps

Factory Wipe

Flash the Rom at recovery (Here you might be a little confused, so i choose the first option in the first screen and in the next you need to see which phone and if your bootloader is Unlocked (UB) or not (LB))

Flash the Gapps

Reboot

Be Happy

Now please learn to read, read, then read some more. This is a development site, meaning it is for learning not hand holding. If you do not know how to follow those instructions it is a safe bet you have not read enough.

Thanks and happy flashing!

Thread cleaned of repetitive question
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
No... You can just flash over it :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] WWH_0311:
Flash over it on 270 lollipop?

So mUST wipe all the data??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
Yeah :D sorry for misunderstanding... I mean you can follow the instructions that made on OP without need to get back to kk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
See the flashing instructions, I put in the final how to use root ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] january73:
I have since the last update BT stopped receiving files. He took Bluetooth.apk from a previous version and replace earned.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] meliacentrum:
Keyboard so laggy when I change to numuric mode :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
I suggest you to use another keyboard like SwiftKey or the original from Sony that you can find on the Google play store! I don't use the stock keyboards for a long time so this is not relevant to me...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] calage1234:
I tryied now and i here worked fine, did you updated your rom via Miui Update? Must be this, i don't tested in the 5.8.28... Give your feedback!! ;)

You only update?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kunaal2580:
tried OTA, touch stopped working (5.9.4), lost root, lost recoveries...also the OTA update zip doesnt flash properly, gave me an error.. any solution??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] january73:
BT to work properly, it is necessary to put the file Bluetooth.apk from the previous firmware version. OTA update should be put through the Chinese recowery, rather than through TWRP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kunaal2580:
i tried flashing the zip via chinese recovery, still facing the same problems.. no recoveries, touch not working, over heating if kept on charging.. also is ur device BL locked or unlocked? i have locked... so maybe thats the problem??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Yocto69:
I have the same problem. Seems to be a problem with the 5.9.4 update. tried it several times.

I have a c6903 wit unlocked bootloader.

I reflashed the 5.8.28 and didn´t update.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
The actual update only contains a new version of updater and bluetooth. I think it's not important. Let's wait for the next version.
