[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
We'll soon have to post some MTTY.exe commands, so that you can execute "task 28" (erase the disk-on-chip ROM). I'm tryi to unbrick my Charmer as well, so we are almost in the same boat.

The easiest soloution, woud be for me to 'make and give you' my SD ROM image. This means that we'd have to have SD cards of the same exact size. The only card I have, is 512MB in size (so you know I'd be sending you a 512MB attachment). You'd then use either NTRW.exe or PSDWRITE to write it back to your SD card (of exactly same size).

Finally you insert the card in your phone, go into bootloder mode.

Press the required key, and your phone is flashed with the ROM from my phone.

NB: Lets not go this far, just yet. The procedure has a ~99% success rate, but its not easy for me to send such a large attachment to you on my internet connection (except if we were on an instant messenger).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
hmmmm, the SD card won't be a problem for me as I can easily get the SD card of any size, but the problem would be in uploading and downloading the image. Do we have any other alternate?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I have a 512MB and 256MB card, so I'll have to send you the 256MB image that I'll create (via any standard instant message application).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Thanks, I appreciate that.

Could you please send me the file using the following service:

http://www.send-large-file.com/index_uk.php

If not, then let me know which messenger service would you prefer and what would be the preferred date and time for the same?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I have no problem using that service. The problem is that the RAW ROM image, isn't being read by PSDREAD or NTRW.exe (so I can be able send it to you by any means).

Give me a few hours, and I'll get the extracted ROM for you.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Hi, did you get any software to read the RAW ROM image?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I'm using PSDREAD and NTRW.exe , but it keeps giving me an error message about a checksum failure (then aborts the reading process).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
ohh, so is there any alternate way to bring my magician back to life?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
If I got your SD card, I could 'backup' my ROM to it, and ship the card back to you.

This wouldn't be practical, since I'm in Jamaica.

We are still working on a soloution for you.

You should be able to get the image by the end of the day.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Thank you very much. I'm feeling so much relieved after reading this.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Any update on the above?

could you also let me know how to 'backup' the ROM onto SD card?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] fredamexis:
I hope you get your magician working!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
You need to first download mitty.exe

You need to place your Magician in bootloader mode.

With it connected to the PC, open MITTY.exe

SELECT USB (in the port drop-down menu).

At the terminal, type "r2sd all" (don't copy and past, you must type this manually).

It'll then overwrite the contents of you SD card with a RAW ROM image of your unit.

NB: In your case, it doesn't make sense to make a backup of a bricked ROM.

What you will be doing, is restoring my clean ROM instead.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Thanks mate, I hope the same.

I was trying the same procedure some weeks ago on my bricked magician and it was not working, so I was just wondering weather I was doing it correctly or not?

any progress in reading the RAW IMAGE from your SD Card?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
Sorry, no success as yet.

It would be nice if other forum members could also upload thier RAW SD ROM images as well.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Can anyone uplocad the SD Card image of his Magician's ROM pleeeeeeaseeeee????????
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I'd suggest you try flashing with Taxist's 2.03 ROM as well (from bootloader).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
My bootloader is not allowing me to install any ROM. I have tried Taxist's ROM as well using the No_ID program.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I'll be sending you the Emergency SD image shortly, using the web service that you posted here earlier on.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Thanks very much. Please do inform me when you have send the same in this thread.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
The answer can be also found on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=319354

Please follow the instructions on post #14, until I can upload my ROM.

This method actualy works.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
I already tried this method, but the ntrw.exe was not able to write the image file onto my SD card. However, I'll give it a try one more time and let you know the results.

btw can I use the 512 MB SD card for to write this image?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
Yes, you can use any size SD card, although I believe you may definately want to try the 64MB card (instead of stuffing the remaining space with NULL characters).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] swatichal:

i still having the problem i used the sdcard image which i download form rapidshare and then write it on sd card and try it on my imate jam and i didnt saw any press power to flash as they say on that post plz any one can help us

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
Hi,

I backed up the ROM of my frnd's magician onto my SD card but when I put in the card into my magician, I do not see the option to flash no matter weather I plug it into power or usb. Plz suggest.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
This means that the ROM headers were copied as well.

This becomes tricky, since you'll no longer be using

r2sd all

in MTTY.exe again.

I don' know the terminal command for the process. You'll have to look in the service manual for it.

http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/Megician-Service-Manual_A10.pdf

It is:

USB>d2s 80000000 2400000

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Nokia 3650:
I'd suggest you use FAT instead of FAT32 (it doesn't matter since an new header will be written anyway).

I keep forgetting that your unit doesn't boot any at all. In that case, I don't have a solotion for you (besides using a JTAG). A more experiienced member, will provide an answer for you.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Conmmander:
Greetings,

I'm embarking on a new journey to rooting and putting a "custom" ROM onto my phone. However I've never modified an android phone, so this process is all new to me.

Obviously the first step would be rooting my phone, but from there I'm stuck. I'm using a Samsung-SM-J320A, and I'd like to keep the main features of the OS (look and data that's already installed), but upgrade the actual Android version. It's currently running Android 7.1.1, though I'd like to upgrade it to 8.1 (Oreo).

I do understand the header of the forum said "no noobs", but I cannot for the life of me find a method to pull the existing ROM that's installed on my phone off and modify it.

Any assistance is welcome. (Apologies if this is not in the right category/titled correctly)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kraken_ftw:
Hey I recently purchased poco x3 pro and wanted to get rid of miui, can anyone suggest the some good roms to flash as I am a beginner, my main priorities are looks and gaming
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] abood.mhd:
My main ROM nowadays is cDROID 7.7

it's almost perfect
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] hfmls:
i use ARROW, got around 7-9 hours of SOT
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] rafa_apmm:
Im also trying to choose a rom for my x3 pro. I come from a One plus with cdroid and that rom was amazing.

People talk very good abot Arrow tho, so i cant choose aha
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] LaikaTheBigRedDoggo:
I used arrow because it was what was avaliable at the time, and had the most comprehensive guides and development.

crDroid seems to be a good option too. I'd try it, but I don't want to lose any data so I cant really be bothered.

I had dotOS on my Mi 9T (davinci) and it wasn't very stable nor versatile in my experience. I dont know if it is much better on X3 Pro, but I've chosen to simply avoid it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
ArrowOS is not that good in this aspect.

ArrowOS is simple and fast, but lack of some stuff like customization.

Other ROMs may have more customization, but can't know if you would be satisfied or not. This is subjective.

If that ROM don't meet your need, switch to try other ROMs. (Backup your data before switching between ROMs)

Try and error.

Life is just like this.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] stevoswifty:
I'm using DOTos, it's the first ROM IV installed on this device and gotta say it's smooth and no issues so far.

Roms are subjective and I don't play games on my phone either so just install some and try for yourself
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Tahsin Can:
I've used ArrowOS, DotOS, Xperience and crDroid. I didn't like DotOS and ArrowOS that much. Xperience is very good but lacks customization. I am currently using crDroid. I am very satisfied. If Xperince was like crDroid, I would undoubtedly use it. If you want customization definitely crDroid. If you don't need much customization, definitely Xperience. Good luck.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Raci Kumar Sinha:
Just go with the arrow os official it's the best for gaming and looks

[Galaxy S 5 General] mystvearn:
Hi,

Using s5 flashed with LineageOs 16 (android 9). But my phone cannot access the storage even though nothing is installed. Sd card or internal storage. I tried hooking up with odin, but the phone cannot be detected. Installed the Samsung USB drivers, still unable to detect.

Tried to install from the play store but, but it says to clear space. The space is cleared. What I have installed is TWRP 3.3.0 and can boot to that. When I copied Los and newer TWRP, it is not detected by the phone. Reboot also same. Right now I have a vanilla Los but cannot do anything with it. Tried to view the files, cannot see internal and external storage. Nothing pops up.

Any ideas?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sayuuk:
No it's not, it's close but not the original ROM.

There's no original ROM available for download because T-Mobile didn't release it (?yet?), they are far behind with releasing 6.1 for their phones, but that should happen some day, so when 6.1 comes out you can get an official T-Mobile ROM, before that you might want to try that reconstructed ROM, it should work pretty well.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] nIGhT-SoN:
Hi,

I'm having troubles after following the guide here - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/guacamole/install

I initially had stock Android 11 with latest update. I've followed the instructions, all went well until I rebooted to system. It just tries to boot for a few minutes, then it restarts and does this again. Doesn't seem to boot.

Is there a way to fix this?

Also, would be possible to get back to stock rom and how?

Thank you in advance!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] nIGhT-SoN:
Managed to fix, in the end. Was a real headache.

If anyone is having similar problem and they have to unbrick their phone, I suggest this thread - https://xdaforums.com/t/op7-oos-10-...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.3954325/

Follow the steps in that thread. To enter EDL mode, you will have to turn off your device, hold Volume UP and Volume down (without power button) and while holding insert the USB cable into the phone and into your PC. By doing so, it will be detected by the computer and will show up in Device Manager.

The most annoying issue I had was the phone was connecting for a few seconds, then disconnect. What worked for me after many many tries was using a newer image, mine being an international device I used 10.3.8. I opened MSM from the 10.3.8 package and Device Manager, connected the cable to the computer, but not to the phone, I've pressed volume up and down, connected the cable to the phone while holding volume buttons and as soon as Qualcom driver showed up in Ports (COM & LPT), I hit start on MSM.

If it still gives you the error "Sahara Communication Failed. Please try again after power off phone" try with a different package version, for me this one worked, but before that I've tried with a different one and I was getting this error.

Hope it will help someone, at some point. I know how frustrating it is and if I helped you be less frustrated than I was, that's a win.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Lala🇧🇩:
I am looking for an all-rounder phone. But poco f3 camera isn't good enough. So i was thinking about buying mi 10 since it's price came down. Mi 10 has much better camera and i guess all the other aspects are comparable ( i don't care about wireless charging). I want to use my phone for at least 3 years. For this i need proper custom rom and gcam support. What do you guys think? Which phone should I go for?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
The Mi 10 is over a year old so more stable custom roms, a more powerful battery and a better camera, more ram,

more features.

The Poco F3 is 3/4 months old so the Roms are still in development.

For what you want the Mi 10 is suitable,but not the same price.

But since I will install custom rom on mi 10, and stock camera app not available on custom roms, will there be a good gcam app for 108 mp camera? I have heard that in case of mi 10 stock camera works better than gcam. That's why i wanted to be sure about the compatibility of gcam with 108mp camera.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] pl1992aw:
You have more choices:

Better photo is subjective.

The camera module is objective.

If photo is that important to you, choose the phone with best camera.

GCam and MIUI camera are both software. Software can be adjusted and updated.

If GCam can use all the camera of the phone, it's compatible.

Better photo is subjective. Different opinions from person to person.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] asaeles:
Redmi Note 8, I've successfully installed TWRP, then without taking backup attempted to wipe everything (including vendor & system).

Wiping of data failed.

Tried installing Pixel OS (non Plus version using ADB side loading), the OS started with the Google logo then it rebooted to TWRP.

Then I formatted data using Ext2 then using Ext4 then tried to wipe everything again and it worked (wiping everything system, data and vendor).

Tried installing Pixel OS again, but this time not even the Google logo appeared, just Redmi and then it reboots to TWRP.

I tried installing Pixel OS Plus, same.

I tried installing stock Mi ROM Global, this time it is stuck on the MIUI logo without doing anything, I have to reboot into recovery manually.

Tried Potato OS, same, stuck on startup potato logo.

crDroid, same, stuck on startup logo.

Now the only thing working on this piece of metal is TWRP, what to do?
