Hi
I wonder if anyone here can help me out, I just damage the original rom of my Spice Mi700 build 5012_3_16P (Indonesian Version) I cant make a phone call, browse internet, etc. Now I need the original ROM of it to flash it back to my device. I couldn't go to the store to get it fix cause i'm too far away from the store (needs 2 flights to get there).
So if anyone here got the device and can dump the clean ROM for me or if anyone had the original ROM would you please share it to me??
BIG THANKS,
ps: mods, if this is the wrong place to ask please move it to the right place, tq.
Did u tried to flash a custom ROM or damaged it while using?
Before flashing try factory reset ur device.Follow the steps below.
---->IF U CAN BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA KEY THEN SKIP THE 1) N 2) 3) STEP.
IF NOT THEN FOLLOW ALL THE 4 STEPS.
1)Turn on ur pc n search for quick boot app on the internet.
2)Install it run it.
3)Select the recovery boot.(This will boot ur device with inbuilt recovery mode present in ur device.)
4)Then select the wipe date or factory reset something like that.
Wait until it is finished.Then reboot ur device n check weather the prob is solved or not.
Here's the quick boot app:
I am not allowed to post link but here's the path for it:
Google for quickboot.apk u will see the mediafire link download it.
Thanks for the reply,
I have done repairing the device, I search all over the net finnally I have solution flash back using custom ROM.
Here's what happen that make my OS broken, at the time my phone was temporary rooted, then I do a Factory Reset (while it still rooted). After the reset there's when a lot of my device features can't be use. I can't make a phone call, lost my browser, can't install apps, my builtin file browser was not installed. So I'm almost can not do anything. I even tried to install the apps using ADB and still failed. So in my confusion status i search here the any possibilities to fix it, what i found is a custom ROM but its for 5012_3_16I (mine is 16P). I'm afraid it will not work for my device. But anyway what's the worst it can be, so i do this way :
1. Install clokwordrecovery.img
2. Reboot to the recovery (using adb commands)
3. Backup the last state of my device
4. Then install the custom ROM from this XDA (i cannot post a link too, just search it with a thread title "[REQ] Developers Interest NEEDED: Samsung Tab Alternative - Spice Mi700 DroidPad")
5. Aaannnndddd it works, my phone got all the function back.
6. Oooo, I also overclock the Proc to 864mhz (using a solution from the neighbours forum)
7. I found out about yaffs2expert in the market.
8. Using yaffs tool I extract the system img from my backup files earlier
9. I remove the folder system and boot.img in the custom ROM that i got before and change it with my extracted folder from the extracted img and the backup boot.img too (the original backup boot.img was not extracted).
10. I compressed it using zip
11. Using recovery mod install the ROM that i have just build before.
12. And again it now back to its original (like new from the store) state of the device.
13. The proc is still OC to 864mhz.
Do what I have just done is a bad idea (customizing a moded ROM with my original ROM)????
Ok now I have a new problem, everytime I turn the wifi on the device is restarted, is there any solution??
Thanks,
im not sure what im missing- i have smooth maximus x, rom manager, and it has the recovery or whatev- but when i boot into recovery it boots the stock one- wtf! the menu for rom manager is not flashing the img. it says it is. just erased everything for nothing!problem?
If its going to the stock recovery, its working fine! when you are on stock recovery menu, choose install packages (or whatever it is) and that will get you into clockwork recovery.
But its not loading to clockworks revovery. It just goes to standard start up when that option is selected.
correction
Sorry correction- I try that, and it says "signature verififaction failed- installation aborted." Why?

why are you using ROM manager to flash the recovery if your on SMX ? SMX has bali 2.2 in it wich has CWM built into the kernel so your recovery should be the RED voodoo CWM recovery by default. and if stock blue recovery is coming up for some reason yu should be able to reinstall packages cause SMX has the modded stock recovery already
No no no, I'm not on smx- I'm trying to install the darn thing. I'm still on the stock rom. When I boot into recovery there are 4 options-
Reboot now
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Install packages
When selecting install packages, it fails via signature verification. There are no cwm recovery options available, either.
ooh .. your problem is you have to be rooted which im sure you already are ..
then go to the CWM thread in the DEV section and apply the modded recovery to system/bin . this will make the recovery ignore the signature check so you can flash CWM then SMX
use root explorer or adb push this file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/recovery
to /system/bin
then put this file on the root of ur sd
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/update.zip
and put maximus x rom on ur sd
reboot recovery
reinstall packages
now ur in cwm
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
Go to mounts and storage
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
install zip from sd
choose zip from sd
look for maximus x rom install and u should be good
after you flash, go back to mounts and storage (before rebooting) and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
this is as easy as i can put it
Thank you very muych for your persistence to help! I am a noob and cannot find the ty button. I'm a newb, I know.HOWEVER....…I am not a newb to this in general, and I have tried that already. I read that forum . Duh!this is what happens when trying to move the file to sys.bin:
Root explorer says:
Paste operation failed-
Does not say why. I found a solution! Another forum says to downgrade to stock recovery e2, then cwm will work. But I have to get odin and crap. So if there is something I'm STILL missing, and can't move the file there for that reason, don't hesitate to enlighten me.
you need to move the modded recovery to /system/bin/recovery, anything that tells you to downgrade is not correct, as we do not have anything to 'downgrade' to. The modded recovery from Krylon does the same thing. you should be following this:
1. download the recovery.zip from krylon
2. extract the .zip and copy the recovery file to your sdcard
3. use root explorer to copy the recovery from the sdcard to /system/bin/recovery
if it fails, make sure that /system is mounted as read write, rather than read only, there should be a button in root recovery to mount read/write.
Thank you sir! I was comitting a syntax error... maybe by attempting to copy the file from the wrong directory. No, the downgrade works... I was reffering to e2 recovery for samsung rather than e3 which requires signature ver. But that takes waaaaaay longer. So thank you. I was trying to copy the whole zip, rather than the actual file because I thought I had extracted it(stupid). But yeah. Ty! Will see if cwm works now.
Glad to hear that it worked for you, let me know how cwm works out for you, as well as whatever parts come after that for you. Don't forget the Thanks button if someone helps you
The files are in their proper places, all is right.
But when I boot into recovery, I am startled with fright!
For its still normal, its still stock-
So help me ill throw this phone like a rock!
Haha. But seriously. Still same issue.
FAILS TO INSTALL ANYTHING
"Signature verification failed- installation aborted."
It seems I will have to do it the hard way by installing e2. This was this issue for the galaxy s.
Why does no one else with a sidekick have to do this!!!!? Why is it not giving y'all signature verification errors! Why is there no video yet?
Sig verification issues relate to the recovery. it should still look like stock, as the original CWM is a fake flash. Make sure you have the cwm update.zip from Krylon's thread in your sdcard.
It is!!!!!! I think I'm going to cry.
Recovery is saved (overwrite) as instructed.
Update is on sd card as instructed.
Can't be corrupted, deleted files and tried again.
Boot into recovery and stock shows (as it should.)
Re-install from package (only option other than data wipe and reboot)
Whole signature failure
Signature verification failure
Installation aborted. :'(
i'll make you a script and a zip of everything to do this for you later, but that won't be until a bit later, still have to drive my girl home. in the meantime, can you try redownloading the cwm from ayo's original post? also, have you tried the rom manager version of cwm?
Roger that.
And it would be greatly appreciated. If it is, however, just another list of the instructions as mentione previously in this thread, or in the original rom post, forget it. But if there's something new then sure. Heck, a video would be great. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one watching it either. And I will redownload all of it again(non-existant jesus christ) and try again in the meantime. Thank you again for your effort and supporth surely it must be that I am the only on with this issue. So I am unique on xda! Silly video...
i could even go so far as to skype someone to SHOW them ive got it right or what i have done, in which case i would hope for an "ah ha!now that thurz ya problem right thur neow."
Ok, I have a script for you, it's semi-tested? I already have root in my adb, so I can't test it as well, but it should work. let me know what happens. just unzip this, and run the run.bat.
this will reboot you into recovery after it's done, so make sure you're not doing anything on your phone when you run it.
https://sites.google.com/a/stephenduvick.com/www/files/sk4gtestoneclickroot.zip?attredirects=0&d=1
Credit to Noobnl for the original script, and krylon for the fake flash.
So how exactly do I run the run.bat? Its not an exe or script file... is there a command list I need to put in? (Gawd, the last custom rom I installed(cliq xt) was so much easier, before there even was a clockwork mod. It was easier, and that was when it was the hard way!) And my phone is already rooted, sure that doesn't matter though.
I have an HTC sensation z7z10a. I purchased this phone to be able to get on AT&T's 3&4g frequencies without having to upgrade my unlimited data plan for non smart phones. So far so good, my phone gets 4g and AT$T is not aware that I have a smartphone.
Naturally after spending enough time in XDA and other phone forums to figure this out I became interested in flashing a custom ROM.
I used the revolutionary method to gain S-OFF, installed CWM, and used CWM to create a backup image. I've managed to fully wipe and then restore to my backup image, so CWM is working.
My problem is whenever I go to flash a custom rom I don't understand which file to select in recovery mode. Every zip I have downloaded, (including the one I need to finally get my phone rooted) opens up to a series of subfolders, none of which contain the files I need. The sub folders are typically : System, Data and META-INF. So I can't get rooted without being able to use the recovery mode to flash.
I used my friend's pc netbook in order to run Revolutionary and install CWM. Now I am using my Macbook Pro to download potential Roms zip files and move them onto my phones SD card. Could this be the problem?
I"ve searched and searched for and answer to this issue to no avail, please help me to figure this out. I'm stumped.
The zip you have to flash is the ROM you download...am I missing something?
You do not need to extract the zip file. Just put it on the SD card and then go to the recovery mode and select the option install zip from sd card and install it. I believe if you flash a custom rom, you would be automatically rooted, so no need to root it separately. Hope this helped

Thanks for this advice, this is my first time attempting this. I think you are right that most roms come with root access so I may be able to skip that step.
I know what you are saying, don't extract the file, just move the zip over as is. Only on my mac the files are arriving as a folder with subfolders, not a zip package. This HAS to be the problem! I will look harder for Mac info on downloaded zips to see if I can figure out why this is happening. Thanks again.
Update:
So I fixed the folder problem by going into safari settings and unchecking the open safe downloads box. No all the zip files I'm downloading are staying intact as zips.
However I just tried to flash revolution hd with no success. The full wipe zip for this rom was a failure as well. I will now try downloading the root zip again and see if rooting first helps at all.
So now I am rooted. Success!

Ah....Steve Jobs and his desire to prevent the user from doing anything useful strikes from beyond the grave.
This is why I won't touch a Mac. They want to do everything for you, even if it's not what you want or need to be done. On the plus side, at least you only have to push 1 button to get the Mac to do the wrong thing!
Glad you figured it out! Be careful with the ROM flashing though. It quickly becomes a life consuming obsession.
Hi guys, i am brandspanking new at android as i have only had my phone (lg p500) for 2 weeks. i have however quickly picked up on roms,kernels,basebands etc.. I would really appreciate it if one of you TopDogs would explain to me which i should do first? My question is what sequence must items be installed in ie Rom the gapps then kernel then baseband? or is it baseband first then kernel then rom then gapps?? i really do appologise if this sounds stupid but i will need direction in this regard to be confident enough to go through with flashing a rom which im actually lank amped to do.
Anyways, thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work boys.
Okay..
In regards to baseband, kernel, rom type info, I believe most kernels are packaged with the roms themselves, and if there's any other information about a special installation it would be included on the rom page.
First thing you wanna do is research a bit about your phone and what roms are available to see if you even want to risk bricking your phone for the additional features. You can search for your phone at the top right hand side of the XDA forums. From there you can see what forms of development are available. Most popular forms are NAND and SD based roms. Research a bit on each to see which fits your needs more. NAND will completely replace the stock system but also presents more opportunity for things to go wrong and potentially damage your phone. SD doesn't replace your system, but runs off of your SD card. In any case, selecting the method that works for you is the first step. There will be indications on the rom download pages as to what type of rom it is (NAND or SD).
Second step is prepping your device for the right system. I have and HTC HD2, and it was required for me to install HSPL and update the device radio. These are very important steps and must be done properly or everything following will likely not work.
Next you want to install your boot loader (if one is required). For my device, cLK and Magloader are the popular onese, however yours will likely be different if you need one at all.
Next you will install ClockworkMod(CWM) Recovery on your device, which is the core system that allows the flashing of roms, storage management, and a few other things. Make note of the partition information of the rom you select, because when you flash CWM you will need to partition the boot/system/cache. If you don't do this properly you will likely encounter a boot loop or total failures to boot.
Once you've got CWM on your device, you can download the rom you've selected on your pc and transfer it to your SD card on your phone (which is done by enabling mass storage through CWM). After you've got the rom on your sd card you do the following:
In CWM, select "flash zip from sd" >> "choose zip" >> select your rom zip file >> approve the flash
Sometimes the developers of these roms allow for some selection or customization in the flashing process, so be sure to pay attention to what's going on. You may also need to write down error codes if something goes wrong and you need help.
That's really all there is to it, though it can be more or less complicated than I explained depending on your device and which roms you pick.j
Hope this helps, good luck!

Yeah I forgot that part. you do want to clear your data, cache, and system files while in CWM, otherwise you'll be writing over your old system. A lot of roms are custom teaked and packed in way different than the stock rom and it can just get screwy if you don't. Make it a good habit of doing that before you flash! You can also back up your roms through CWM so if you don't like the changes you've made after a flash you can always revert back like nothing ever happened. Just don't wipe your SD card or you'll lose your backups! Only do that if you're okay with losing the data on your SD.
As mentioned above...
Full Wipe/ Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe System
Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash ROM
Flash Kernel
Flash gapps
Reboot
This should work out, if you do the kernel flash before the ROM, it will be replaced with whatever kernel that was packaged with the ROM. If you are trying to flash an ICS based ROM, you may need to flash the ROM a couple times (if it installs too quickly, as in 5 to 10 seconds). This is a known issue.
Below are links to full backups that can be restored in TWRP for the H910 after the Dirty Santa exploit. This is useful for restoring a bad install once you have access to TWRP. I will outline three methods for install below that will help in putting back the TWRP backups, a good method for installing it, and a few suggestions I have from restoring my device about 10 times now. So without further ado.
UPDATE: I bricked my device and had to send it off for repair (turns out I can't just flash US996 firmware for funsies) I received my phone back with the still rootable OTA 10L and yesterday I rooted it again and uploaded the new firmware. So if you're an AT&T user who wants the second latest update (10M dropped 04-15 but it isn't rootable as far as I know) then you can grab this and run it along with the stock kernel I made a backup of. I'll update the links below to reflect this. Stock 10L kernel located in tips section. Not flashable, you must extract and install as image and immediately install SuperSU 2.79 or greater or your device won't boot!
How to Install and Restore Stock Images and Boot (Kernel) Image
1.) DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298948069 (Updated to 10L) download the file and verify the MD5sum of the zip matches the file you downloaded. (System image link for devs posted at the bottom)
1a) Download the latest SuperSU 2.79 flashable zip from here: http://www.supersu.com/download
2.) EXTRACT --This is not a flashable zip-- extract the zip file wherever you would like so that it can be copied to the device
3.) COPY - The extracted folder to TWRP > BACKUPS > (paste here) on either the MicroSD card (preferable) or internal storage (This will be wiped when you format data)
4.) REBOOT TO RECOVERY - Once the folders are copied to the backup directory you can reboot to TWRP to begin the restore process.
5.) WIPE - This is getting two sections in order to account for two situations
5a) MICROSD - If you have a MicroSD card and copied the restore files to it wipe everything: Data, Cache, Dalvik/ART, Internal Storage, and System.
5b) INTERNAL STORAGE - If you don't have a MicroSD card installed only wipe the following: Data, Cache, Dalvik/ART, and System.
6.) REBOOT TO RECOVERY - Once you have wiped everything, especially if you wiped internal storage, you should reboot TWRP before you start the restore process
7.) RESTORE - Back in TWRP Choose Restore from the main menu and if you can't see your restore file choose "Select Storage" at the bottom and inside that folder uncheck RECOVERY unless you want to overwrite TWRP (which I recommend against).
7a) I would recommend checking the box "Enable MD5 Verification of Backup Files" which is a little slower but ensures a good restoration
8.) SWIPE - Swipe to begin the operation and it will alert you upon completion. You will need a very large amount of space on your card to do it since the system image is split into 3 packages
9.) ROOT - Do not reboot until you have rooted! The unlocked bootloader will prevent booting on the stock kernel. The stock kernel can be used if it is rooted first, otherwise you will be stuck on the LG Boot logo.
10.) REBOOT TO SYSTEM - The phone will reboot itself! Don't panic, this is part of the standard rooting procedure. Now, see tips at the bottom for best performance.
TIPS!
- This is the 10L update stock kernel made during dirty santa method. This kernel has all features working minus the static on boot being gone, but Wifi calling, comfort view, FM radio, etc are fixed using this kernel. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634762281 (You must flash SuperSU 2.79 or greater after flashing this kernel before you reboot! Not Flashable, must extract)
- To use the above kernel, download his ROM and extract the boot.img file from that archive. Save it to your device, boot to TWRP, choose Install, Install Image, and click the boot.img file. Then choose the checkbox for "boot" and swipe to flash. Really important to install SuperSU again after installing the custom kernel.
- Boot-up static can be cleared by allowing phone to boot to screen off, placing it face down to turn of second screen, and then flipping it back over. Static will be gone until next boot.
- Using fstrim after wiping in TWRP is good for increasing flash drive performance. Go to TWRP > Advanced > Terminal and type fstrim -v /data/
- You can do fstrim on /system and /cache as well to get all three partitions running clean
- Some of the AT&T apps that you can remove with TiBu are tied to bootup. Be careful what you remove if you like to get past the AT&T logo.
- The button combo to get into TWRP from powered off is Vol Down + Power until the LG Logo appears then let go of power and immediately press power again.
- That button combo boots you to a screen asking it you want to wipe your device. Answering 'yes' to both questions boots you to TWRP.

If you do a battery pull and can get to TWRP you are not bricked. However, I have no idea what you did to get a bootloop. What kernel did you install: the stock one from TWRP or Tilde88's kernel from his ROM? Either way, if you did this:
Wipe > Restore (Boot and System) > Install SuperSU 2.79 zip > Reboot
then you did the correct steps. The issue of not having SuperSU installed on my device was not booting past the LG logo and never rebooting. However, the method I most recently followed was:
Wipe > Restore (boot and system) > Install Tilde88 kernel > Flash SuperSU > Reboot
and my phone has been running extremely well. I need way more info from you before I can help you further.

Shoot...I think I followed your instructions in Tilde88's thread....and hit reboot instead of flashing his kernel. I then went back in to TWRP to reflash the entire thing...and the kernel...and I was given crap about encryption. Then, that's when the bootloop started. Right now, I'm sitting on TWRP. I've tried flashing everything, per instructions....but I guess, what I'm asking, is...since I'm on TWRP...and it's bootlooping because of encryption...what would you personally do? Shoot...I'll pay ya if you can fix this! LOL. I just really never dealt with the encryption thing until this phone...never really had problems till now.

FLASHED EXACTLY THE WAY YOU DID (WITHOUT THE REBOOTING TO RECOVERY IN THE OP)...NOW, IT GETS TO STATIC, THEN LG SCREEN, REBOOTS ONCE TO STATIC THEN BOOTS UP!!! YAY!!! :good::highfive:
I guess there's no need to REBOOT TO RECOVERY if a person faces encryption issues and is trying to fix their phone. Even after decrypting, I came up with issues. Now let's see if this this asks for my PIN on reboot. THAT was another issue!
IT WORKED!!! THANKS! I'LL now try to go back into TWRP and flash the Tilde's boot.img
So...by flashing your STOCK TWRP backup...per your instructions, I was TOTALLY FIXED...I then didn't even flash Tilde88's kernel...I immediately rebooted back to TWRP, and DID NOT WIPE...but immediately flashed his ROM....and BOOM! Google Now/Always On works flawlessly, zero lag! AWESOME!
So, to all that are having issues with no Google Now/Always On...follow this instructional on this thread and DO NOT wipe after flashing Tilde's rom.
BTW, I shot you a PM, bro! :highfive::good:

Nothing like some good news to start the day. I wanted to let you know that the reason this worked is that it is essentially a dirty flash that replaces the stock kernel and adds his ROM tweaks into my stock system. So once it had booted and you flashed over it you were able to keep the stock files needed to get screen off Google Now working while adding his audio tweaks and build.prop because they overwrite the stock files. Since my stock files are odexed and his are not I'm not sure how well all your system files will function since they've been overwritten but if you have no issues then no harm, no foul.
I'm glad this got sorted and to anyone else if you follow this guide and you have any confusion about the instructions just do an @AlkaliV2 and I will do my best to help and I will also fix up the guide so that it is less confusing. Just let me know.
Stuck again....in TWRP.

Try booting into your bootloader (fastboot) and type:
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase fota
fastboot reboot
See if that helps you at all. Make sure you have a valid ROM flashed correctly though.

I was having the same issue, do a backup(choose something small) from TWRP. It will create the TWRP>Backups Folder for you and then you can place the extracted zip. from this thread into that folder and it will see it.

So you created a backup of let's say the EFS partition in TWRP. You backed it up once to the internal SD card and once to the external sd card. Then you extracted the zip from step one, placed the folder inside of the backups folder and it does not appear?
how can i use this file if i i'm not rooted? My phone is being weird and i would like to reload the stock software on it.

Does the factory reset to stock also reset the recovery? Want to root phone but will most likely trade in to ATT once I'm eligible for upgrade(with trade in).

right now the root method for the h910 does not allow you to go back to stock
My 8gb sdcard ran out of space during step #8. Can I copy the contents of the sdcard to a bigger card and redo the full restoration from step 1?

Having the same issue. I copied the folder over to the microsd card and the folder I copied over isnt showing up in restore. I cant do anything or wipe anything if I cant see a backup right?
Im going to try and do the internal storage copy. No other choice.

If you create a backup of anything on the Microsd card before you attempt to put the folder in it, it will create the directories for you and all you have to do is copy and paste at that point.
