lenovos s856 bricked phone work around

Hello, few months ago i was seeking help on this forum. and fond enormous help from you guys, and finally i revived my bricked x856. so i am gonna write down some instructions that i mixed and matched from the forum and got ROW rom working on a CN phone(golden/Chinese written on box). and trust ROW rom not only fixed all the issue but man it adds many awesome features too.

Say your phone was bricked while flashing ROW rom. here is how i fixed it:

1. http://xdaforums.com/general/help/lenovo-s856-china-unbricking-tutorial-t3383875

Follow this thread word by word. Follow the instruction on the word file and must disable windows signature off to be able to make your phone discover able by PC.

oh yes you can also install http://lenovousbdriver.com/download/lenovo-driver-v1-1-16 to make sure windows finds the driver.

2. after completing last step mentioned in the word file keep the phone connected to your pc and wait for 15-20 mins. the phone power button should start responding(phone will vibrate if you hold down power button.) if the phone doesnt boot try powering up the phone. and wait till the lenovo logo appeares.

3.and this should unbrick the phone and you will be able to use your phone with a chinese rom, and this rom sucks and holds back s856's potential.

3. now you are ready to flash ROW rom once you successfully unbrick your phone.

http://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-s856

Download the 2nd ROm provided on the link. Lenovo S856_ROW_137_141104 ROM. and follow the instructions provided.

4. copy the sdfuse folder into your external memory card. after copying it into the sdfuse folder turn off the phone and press volume down and power button to access the boot menu.

please note i skipped the factory reset and erase user data option.

save parameter.

5. select update from sd card.

6. the phone will finish updating and you will have fully working lenovo s856.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

hi. i have a mototorla XT890 which is from usa region and its bootloadder is locked as well, im trying to change the region to eu but cant as the bootloader unlock is not allowed by motorola! is there anyway i can get atleast french language in my phone? can i use the mfastboot commands to flash the european region rom thru this on a bootloader locked US region phone?

and is there french language in any of the US region firmwares? pls help

WBR

ReyTech
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Didn't know there where USA variants of the xt890, because of a different baseband. Gsm vs CDMA. And those don't work together.

U can flash the signed images manually with mfastboot and see what happens. Just make sure the base ROM u are now on is a JB one or even KK. Then only flash the following images from another rsd packages, always go for JB or higher:

The system...

The boot...

Then erase your cache and data partitions through mfastboot and it could work.

I don't know if there is any French language in an USA firmware packages
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReyTech:
hi, thanks, but unfortunately doesnt work!

wbr
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
There isn't a USA variant nor was the RAZR I sold in the USA. In the USA there is only the RAZR M. He most likely bought an imported phone if it is truly a RAZR I. Or he has the RAZR M which is the CDMA version of this phone sold at verizon.

The fact that he can't unlock the bootloader makes me think he has a RAZR M because those can't be unlocked. To verify, run:

fastboot getvar all

It should have all the info about your phone.

Also in the USA we have both CDMA and GSM. It depends on your company. For example verizon, sprint, and us cellular are CDMA, but all the other companies like AT&T, tmobile, virgin, etc are GSM.

Here is the Link since you clearly couldn't find it yourself for the twrp version http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/unofficial-twrp-2-8-3-0-t2981495

Use that twrp, it works. If it doesn't I refuse to help you anymore with this because it's clear that you just want to flash everything without reading.
[ONE Android Development] geekynoob:
Instead of shouting or getting hyper.. Kindly mention the version of twrp.. Or upload it somewhere.. You are landing people to a thread.. Most of them are bound to be confused..

Just my 2 cents..

They are very minute and will be visible under direct sunlight or bright light. Have seen this is another phone as well.

[XDA Assist] :
Dear All

I am into computer data recovery business and want to start Android phone recovery business., Unfortunately I cant access phone memory directly.

Commercial Devices like Cellebrite are too expensive for a very small person like me.

Other alternates are - Rooting /making debugging enable But this is very risky and we have lost 4-5 phones without success.

Besides phones which are pattern locked ( with no debug mode enabled ) cant be recovered.

I have read XDA developer Adam outler has developed a hardware for rooting any device.

Is there any such hardware which will minimize risk & will allow to quickly Image phone memory ?

Thank You

Regards

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydddd:
hello, i am really hoping people can help. i rooted my HTC ONE M8 a while back and now want to unroot it. i followed the Unlockrs version, since it will not let me post URLS just simply search up how to unroot htc one m8 and it will be most likely the first or second link.

by the part where i installed the older backup from where it was not rooted, i started up my recovery which is TWRP. and i loaded the backup and it said it loaded correctly, and afterit asked if i wanted to install superSU because it was not installed (since that version was not rooted) and i clicked do not install. after that it froze, shut off, then turned back on and afterwards proceeded to shut off once more, and turn on while loading the recovery, it would then go into recovery again. i tried many things but now i have a restored android that wont go into the menu. please help.

[Infinix HOT 2] sabcpj:
Infinix's 5.1.1 has a half-hearted multiuser feature. they fix it in 6.0, and the fix further create this stupid problem.

sdcard is only a link, a shortcut, and the real location which the shortcut pointed got moved.

it is originally in /data/media in 5.1.1, move to /data/media/0 in 6.0. only the link moved, not the content, so you will not see them. you need root to move them to the right place.

If you dont have the ".zip" on your device you can try to mount your USB storage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dartmouthrocks:
Thx so much for the tips. I had located the great link provided. Is there anyway that I can move an unzipped hammerhead image to the phone and then unzip on the phone? The stumbling block for me may be that phone has no micro SD slot (to unzip from) and phone is not recognized by computer (running win 7).

For example, with the phone connected with USB to the computer, is there any way to do drag and drop zipped hammerhead file to phone and unzip w twrp.

Thank you for patience with a person new to forum.

I assumed that I could not access a zipped file on computer and use twrp to unzip and proceed. I tried the unzip twrp toggle and could not pull from computer (or at least it was not apparent to me how to do it.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willyinpr4u:
OK, if I´m correct, the device is not recognize by the computer, but TWRP is already installed. So what you want is to transfer a zip file with the image to the device. Have you tried OTG? TWRP can mount the USB, so you can download the zip file to a mciro sd and us OTG to flash it with TWRP.

[General Questions and Answers] Spigaw:
Hello everyone,

I upgraded to Windows 10 this year. Until now, no big issue to report. However, someone recently gave me 2 Xperia phones : a sk17i, and a wt19i, in order to put something better on them rather than the stock ROMs that begin to age, and not very well.

I immediately downloaded Flashtool and Sony PC Companion, as I already have fixed some Xperias several years ago with this mighty tool. And since, I faced the loader.sin issue, and I can't find a damn way to fix it. Oh, and I have not any problem with the drivers.

View attachment 3621404

What I find surprising is I can't find the Devices folder in the Flashtool installation files on my C: drive. I tried to download the master folder on the Androxyde github and put it there, but no luck...

View attachment 3621407

If anyone has any solution, please shout out! This issue is driving me mad... And I know that the XDA community always finds a great and simple solution to this kind of problem.

Thank everyone in advance.

Information + Features

- Pure AOSP Experience

- Also ideal for customisation through Xposed

- EVEN MORE IMPORTANT: As of January 2019 this ROM only works on devices using the bootloader hack. See <<< HERE >>> to unlock your devices.

- IMPORTANT: Do not update Magisk via the Magisk Manager App, your device will enter a bootloop if you do. Instead update Magisk via TWRP only. If you do this by accident then it is recoverable by just flashing the latest version of the ROM again (with gapps etc as required).

Rules

- Please search the thread before asking questions

- Please try to stay on topic, I know it's not always possible

- Please report bugs here

- Report only one issue per bug report

- When reporting bugs please post a logcat and/or dmesg containing pertinent information regarding the issue...

- Saying something isn't working without proper explanation will not attract any attention.

Prerequisites for Installation

- Unlocked Bootloader

- TWRP Installed

[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- You can build aosp with the cm-12.1 + minor mods

- The problems you are having are the large amount of changes required to the actual android rom stack to make it boot for MTK.

- I had to make changes to a large number of the modules/projects to enable it to work correctly
[Fire Original Android Development] jgore43:
Thanks for the info. I was starting to believe that was the case from what I found online.

Do cm-mod based ROMs already include these changes?
[Fire Original Android Development] ggow:
- Certainly cm-12 contains most of what is required - I didn't have to make any large changes in order to boot
[Fire Original Android Development] jgore43:
Excellent, I'm going to try one of the cm-12 based ROMs then.

Thanks so much for your help!
