problem flashing 2.15 firmware.zip?

so i tried to flash the latest firmware. the commands i took were
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
the last part is where im having problems. flashing the zip. i done 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'
i get the following. 'error: cannot load 'firmware.zip': Unknown error' any ideas? the zip file is in the same directory as fastboot

You renamed the file "firmware.zip" (no quotes) right? Or else changed the command syntax to match the actual file name (as its not actually "firmware.zip" when you download it).
And you are S-off?
If you can't get this way to work, you can try carl1861's flashable zip. It uses the AROMA installer, and you just flash from recovery:

Is your device listed if you type the command:
fastboot devices

If you renamed the firmware zip file to firmware.zip then to flash it you would need to enter fastboot flash zip firmware.zip.zip because you have .zip at the end of the file name. Am I right? So try renaming the file without the .zip at the end.

Could be. OP should make sure he doesn't have the computer OS set to hide file extensions when he renamed the file. Similar mistakes have been made before.

Ok guys I'm gonna give sluffs advice a go I'll report back and yes my device is listed
edit: cheers sluff was trying to over thing something as simple

How about carl1961's flashable zip? That should be pretty foolproof. If you are able to flash ROMs (and also S-off and SuperCID), you should be able to flash his firmware update zip.

Did my advice work for you? I'm glad you got it flashed, I know I was a bit confused while trying to flash it myself.

Its seeming more and more like this is the issue, as this person seems to have made the same goof: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45689800#post45689800
Although, I don't know why the OP hasn't tried the carl1961's version, flashable in recovery, as I suggested.

Convert IMG into Odin flashable TAR.MD5

Hello dear humans,
This tutorial will help you convert simple IMG files into TAR.MD5, which is flashable using Odin (Mobile or PC version both).
For this you need to install JAVA JDK and Cygwin from the links below.
JAVA JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-2133151.html
Cygwin: content.wuala.com/contents/neroyoung/XDA%20ROM%20Dev%20Tools/Cygwin.zip
How to install?
-Before doing anything, install Java then install Cygwin by extracting the zip and then extracting the cygwin_packages.zip, Run the cygwin.exe setup and select "Install from local...." then select the folder containing extracted files from cygwin_packages.zip, then click the "S" like button on all
and install in a folder you can access easily using commands.
(THE ABOVE LINKS ARE ONLY FOR WINDOWS VERSION OF JDK AND CYGWIN, IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IN OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS SO PLEASE GOOGLE IT. #IN LINUX DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING JUST DO IT IN THE TERMINAL)
Now in folder installed cygwin, go to home open cygwin.exe or open it from the shortcut in your desktop (THE IMG FILE AND CYGWIN MUST BE IN SAME FOLDER), lets name our IMG file recovery.img, in cygwin type the following commands without $ [Because cygwim already types $ before a command]
$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img >
recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5
Congrats you've successfully concerted your IMG file.to Odin flashable TAR.MD5
Hit Thanks if this helped you.

After ripe the cache img i have a foder csc called /system like the csc in on the Rom's.
But the Rom's whit multi-csc OXXENB1 have all XEO from Poland by default. I made that MOd's csc to install my TPH becuse the ROM to PORTUGAL HAVE XEO by Default. But I needd root for that.
Then I want put TPH by default on system/csc from .img file and remake it to include on Rom and flash it, to have TPH at end by default on my Rom.

Just use official tar for Windows.
You can't flash an img file in Odin needs to be tar or md5 file. 7zip tars don't work but that does.

[GUIDE] [UNBRICK] Reviving Yulong Coolpad Dazen 1 (8297L-I00)

Hi Hi.. friends.. its been 5 months since Coolpad Dazen 1 (8297L-I00) was launched in India and yet the stock rom for this phone is not available on net. Even at Coolpad's official service support site where firmware for all of their models are available, our beloved Dazen 1 seems to be an orphan.
There is no cwm available for our device either.
But if you are rooted and were searching for cwm and probably got one (wrong one which is for coolpad f1 plus) following some misguiding articles. and if you try to flash it to your phone, you will get stuck in bootloader mode. But don't worry it can be fixed easily..
NOTE: YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE. I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE FOR ME. IT WILL WORK FOR YOU AS WELL IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS CAREFULLY.
Steps.
#1. Download the recovery.zip below, extract the files.
#2. Download and install the drivers if u haven't already.
#3. Power off your phone, connect it to pc, press and hold the Volume + and Power key for a few seconds to enter bootloader.
#4. Go to the folder where u extracted the files, Press Shift key then right click any where on the window and select open command window here.
#5. Press Volume+ key in phone.
#6. Type this command in command window.
Code:
fastboot devices
if your device is listed. then type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If flash succeeds then you are done.
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot your device.
and if you don't see your device listed then make sure you have installed the drivers.
NOW.. if you mess up with your system u will brick your device OR try to apply OTA update on your rOOted phone, u will stuck on boot logo.
and these bricks will be pain in head to fix.. because there's no cwm backup or no stock rom.
but somehow @jaswant singh has managed to create fastboot flashable system.img which can restore our system but there are issues with it, wifi and bluetooth do not work after flashing.. but we hope that it will be fixed soon.
this is only way to fix this brick until stock rom becomes available.
oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaah...........
Created my own system.img with help of @jaswant singh
and finally fixed my dazen 1 completely.. everything is working fine... wifi, bluetooth, sims are also working..
Fully functional Stock system.img is ready.
[Supports OTA Update]

Flash system.img in fastboot.
#1. For windows.
copy system.img in your adb folder. put your phone in fastboot and give the command.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
it will take 2-3 minutes to complete. when its done, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
#2. For Ubuntu.
cd to the directory where you have put system.img. put your phone in fastboot and give the command.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img -i 0x1ebf
when done.
Code:
fastboot reboot -i 0x1ebf
Voila.... :highfive::highfive:You just unbricked your coolpad dazen 1 and saved yourself some cash that you would have paid to service center.
So, Hit thanks button if I helped you.

OTA bricking the phone after root is really sad.. I don't think i will root my phone not until we find ways to counter this problem..
Anyways its good to finally see development work start on our Coolpad Dazen 1.. Better late than never..

This is the complete guide to unbrick coolpad dazen 1

2-Supports ext sdcard
3-Added full support f2fs
4-Disabled Knox in the kernel and boot initialization

Do not forget thank Button

only for j120h? or all divices

I can confirm it works and detects extSdCard properly now. To flash it via Odin I converted it to tar.md5. To save you the trouble I'm attaching it zipped up (unzip before flashing, and choose BL in Odin).
