Also which rom are you trying to install?
What u running 2.3.5? Or 2.3.6?
IF 2.3.5 than i would unroot it and run 1click root.

2.3.6 yeah I've heard one click is awesome
Your able to get into recovery? So as i said boot into recovery wipe data/cache 3 times then reboot. If still no go flash the stock tar with odin again and reroot. You could also try just flashing the stock recovery.tar and boot into it. Then wipe data, and cache. Then reboot

k tried the data/cache 3 times each and rebooted and nothing. well how do I put stock tar on my sd card if I cant get my phone on to connect with my pc storage ?
The stock tar you need to put on your pc. And you need to get your phone into download mode. You use odin on you pc with your phone in download mode. To flash the stock recovery tar. To be honest you need to just use odin to reflash the stock tar. Again. Go to the thread woth the stock tar and follow the instructions again
haha duh on my part I was just so scared that I panicked but its downloading now and im going to try and flash back to stock when it is done. thanks for your patience/help slvwrx.....upon more research I think I got a bad recovery tar bc I cant open it its just a white page with a folded corner and I think I saw someone with this problem in the thread and said you have to extract zip
any other ideas ?
anyone get tar files from another site because when I try to open mine they all say cannot open file does not seem to be a valid archive.
You cannot be serious with these questions? You don't open the tar file you put it in Odin. You really need to put some effort into researching what you are trying to do with your phone. Your lack of prior research is why you are having problems. Not trying to be an ahole but you really need to READ everything in these forums before you try to do anything to your phone or you seriously risk bricking it and not being able to recover it. It is nearly impossible to brick these phones but if you have not done the requisite research here then you will end up in essence with a brick because you have no clue how to recover it from your own mistakes. I read these forums for a solid week before I even connected my phone to my laptop and I am an IT Engineer but that doesn't make me an Android expert so I learned from the awesome people here that know more than I and are freely willing to share their knowledge. Take my word for it any/all information you would ever need to fix your phone is all right here for the reading courtesy of the great devs and enthusiasts here on the site.

any criticism is good criticism to me thanks for giving me the cold hard facts and to be truthful I did jump into this early coming from an iphone 4 and all the ones before that and jailbreaking them I thought it'd be easy and it was I just 2nd guess myself all the time. my mistake was following the vid a ruebarb posted in the thread and I followed it to a T .it wasnt till he updated his video and said that his method was for ''already'' rooted users so after getting konane's stock tar flashed in odin I was back to stock re-did the 2.3.6 method got it done stayed stock rooted for 2 days then just about 30 mins ago I went head and jumped on RED SONIA!
again thanks for your input and to care enough to set a noob stright
also Cdshep pretty much found the problem after having a personal chat with me he saw what I was trying to say I'm just not really good with wording or spelling I just recently winged myself of of concerta(ADHD pills) and so my mind moves faster than I can type or right and I confuse myself but its better than the life of a zombie!
I am flashing back to factory heimdall 1.3.1 it has recognized my device and the stock file is ready for the device. Do I just hit flash or is there more? Im a noob sorry

do you have an idea where to find the offline charging animation of starmobile units? mine got messed up when i flashed an offline charging animation from some other forum. now my phone wont charge when it is turned off.
Offline animation
Need to check which one do you need....
Did you flash the rom of boot animation through CWM or using sptools? If neither of the two, then what tool and how it happened?
Btw, If you plug the usb in the unit while its off, does it indicate a red light?

i successfully rooted installed CWM and backup the entire ROM (not nandroid) of this device, I am willing to upload it if you want, maybe flushing back the stock rom will restore your phone in normal state...

Hi chleoj,
I potentially bricked my phone. My emmc is unmountable. Do you mind uploading your backup Stock ROM? I'm getting pretty desperate. I wasted a whole day already on this and I'm still getting nowhere.
Edit: I scoured the forums already, and I've concluded that it's irrecoverable via cwm. My only hope is with SPFlashTool img. Please please please help me!

It will definitely solve your problem, I was asking if you can access your CWM, because I also have unmodified nandroid backup...
I would suggest that you might want to try that first...
just put that nandroid backup on /sdcard/clocworkmod/backup...
Uploading now...

Thanks! I sent the thread starter an email, requesting a custom EBR for SMDiamondv7. I hope he would kindly have the time to make it.
Btw, There seems to be one tiny wrinkle with my restoration. When I go to settings, under the Storage menu - I can't seem to get the Phone Storage to mount. It keeps on getting unmounted?
Edit: Fixed the PhoneStorage problem by mounting my phone on my PC and formatting the internal storage [Fat32] using Disk Management! It's all good now!
Hi! I too can't reply yet through the development section of the forum [new-account limitations. Your files from mediafire and tut have been very useful. Your custom firmware is really great though there is still some minor glitches (usually the screen led turning off but not often just in very occasional manner). I really had been hoping you could lead me to the solution to my problem.
My phone does not show baseband version as well as imei. I've tried so many solution from diff thread but most does not work. I haven't been able to see this thread before only the 2 major dev. (which are rooting and the flashing).
I had failed to restore a backup of my old rom and system/user files because ignorantly at fault, I formatted the sd card though CWM, (i just re-mounted the rom zip to flash rom). But then, it seems flashing alone will not restore baseband and imei.
I'm thinking if it could help me restore baseband version and imei using a backup from another diamond V7 device (maybe you can give link).
I would try it by tonight using the system & userdate img from your mediafire page, and will post back if anything positive or negative came out. I'm crossing my fingers to fix the baseband and imei problem. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

No luck for today. Using SP flash tool to flash system.img and userdata.img did not fix the unknown baseband and imei. Hope there was actually other way to fix this conflict. Thanks xda-developers.com and more power!
Visited the store last saturday to fix my unit due to imei issue. Luckily, under warranty, no fees charged and issues fixed. After having flashed the stock rom from manufacturer, I immediately made a backup of my rom and flash the modded S4 UI by chleoj.
The flashing was a success but the issue persist. I now have my imei but network connection seems off. I can connect to the wifi router and even through mobile data connection but cannot access the web. I am not sure what was the cause so I decided to re-flash the backup of stock rom.
Using the stock rom, no issue was noted. I can connect successfully to a network and even access the internet. I also notice that there was some system changes which was a different baseband version, it is now MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.13 which was used to be MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.8. Just maybe, the different baseband version can fix issues experienced from the modded ROM with S4 UI.
my starmobile was also bricked when i use a repartition tool, im not able to go to the homepage it will just stuck on starmobile logo. i tried to use the spf tools nothing happened even if i installed all the drivers.. it just says error on scatter file something..im kind of frustrated on this one. hope someone will help me on this.
hi pls reply where i can find a starmobile diamond v7 spareparts for front camera ?cause my v7 doesnt have front camera the flex is broken
1st of all, i am a beginner. Just brought my android ics phone last month. I also rooted my phone by the help of my friend last week. But yesterday i was trying to restore factory settings. But i accidentally wiped my system. And now my phone wont boot. It stuck in BootScreen. Nothing happens then. I dont have the backup of my rom. what to do now ??? Please help!! Sorry for my bad English & Thanks in advance who wanna help me
..
What recovery are you using? Even if you wiped the phone you should still have it running. All you need to do is reboot in recovery mode. Hard to tell you how as I dunno what the phone is.
Before that you'll need to download your stock firmware and put it on the root directory of your SD card if you have one, so that once in recovery you'll actually have something to flash.
If the phone doesn't have a SD slot, then you'll need to use a recovery tool on your PC to flash it.
Right now shut the phone down, remove the battery, find some guides specific about your phone, and read them carefully. There's a reason why we're using recoveries. First thing you should have done is to backup your stock firmware somewhere on your computer or on the cloud, and make sure you knew how to use it if something like that was to happen... Little late for that now.
When you'll know what to do, just mind that you still have enough battery to flash the stock ROM. Come back to ask help here if there's something you don't understand. Good luck!

No problem. Just install this partition manager free. It is perfectly adapted for windows 8. And you are offered a variety of options which can swap/merge/separate new partitions. With a very easy-to-understand instructions, everything is perfect!

Hello everyone, I have recently bought my new phone Blu Pure XL and I rooted it successfully. So as things go on I accidentally uninstall Xposed .apk and I flashed the Xposed Framework again (Which was a huge mistake); My phone would be stuck on the 2nd Boot Blu Logo screen and I read to wipe the cache. When that didn't work I just wiped everything, but.... *Sigh* Thats when things went beyond my realm of understanding. My phonr won't let me factory reset it because basically nothing is mounted.
As seen here: (make sure the "H" is connected with the "T".)

Thank you so much for providing this possible solution for me and I will try it out right now! I've come across this thread many of times, but I've overlooked it because it said nothing about important folders being unmounted.
Thanks!
This will definitely work... all the info you need is in that thread; read it; then read it some more, then read it one more time... then go ahead and read it again lol...
SP flash tool is your friend;
although I have few idea on possibly easier solutions (no sp flash learning curve lol)
look into flashing TWRP 2.8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/development/twrp-twrp-blu-pure-xl-allview-x2-xtreme-t3269596 using fastboot;
then you maybe can flash the BLU ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/rom-blu-pure-xl-stock-rom-t3382722 and hope it fixes your issue (if you already have twrp make sure u are using 2.8; 3.0+ has issues with partition corruption (kinda sounds like what happened to you)
if your partition table is messed up follow the unbrick thread especially the section about flashing the condor COMPLETE rom via fastboot then reflashing to BLU (the condor ROM flash fixes the partitions so you can flash the BLU stuff)
Wish you luck and once again READ (I can be kind of an ass when it comes to questions asked without research, just FYI lol, but I do try to help those who help themselves!)
