Hello all,
Firs I like to apologies if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum.
As the title says, I have a Iglo A101 with GingerBread 2.3.4 phone and I accidently deleted the system/bin/sh file.
I was searching for a2sd and I downloaded it, but when running it, instead of pressing 1 - "install a2sd" I pressed 2 "uninstall a2sd", by mistake, and by the time I realized the sh file was deleted. Now the phone is no longer rooted and can't be rooted and also my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I've search the net for answer but I can't find a solution to this type of phone.
Could someone help me fix this or at least get the Wi-Fi working again?
Thanks in advanced...
OK, I've manage to contact the retailer and he gave me what appears to be the all system files, as now I have a rar containg system.img userdata.img recovery.img etc etc. How do I install this files, because he doesn't appear to know either. I tried from the recovery mode using install update.zip from sdcard but it give's me invalid OTA package and I can't find an answer on how to flash a img file from recovery mode...

Does the device have fastboot? If so the files need to flashed using fastboot. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img.
If your device does not have fastboot then you will need to extract the system.img and make a flashable .zip so you can flash through CWM or whatever your recovery is. If you are using stock recovery then I eexpect you will either need to find a solution or send it off for repair. I will have a look into helping you get your device back up and running but I cant promise to succeed. Give me a few days and I will report back with any solutions or info to get you on your way to fixing your device.

hi
i had similar problem on this device a101 i did not delete any folder but by rooting the device my wifi and Bluetooth stoped working.i solved the problem by the factory menu.....have you tried it?
i did factory reset, but since there a system file missing it doesn't solve it..Can't there be a way to create an update.zip package with the sh file and then apply like an update from recovery? I've been trying to understand what does invalid OTA package mean, I think if that would be solved then I could easily put the file back...
i think you need spb launcher
i have to admit i used it only ones before for china 5388 there i needed com + usb cable here you need just a normal cable us the boot on this phone is different i have all you need give me email i will send to you. i have scater for a101 file too.i never used it but i have.Us i said my phone work ok after reset from factory mode
still nothing?

If you have the system.img image, you can try to flash it in the phone with SP Flash Tool,
Here is the tutorial:

Please, can you here to give all system files, which were sent to you from retailer? I have the same model. Thanks!
I have softbricked my phone and can only enter fastboot bootloader and recovery mode (htc) I have found the stock rom that I wan't to back up to and have downloaded it, but since I fastboot flashed my twrp recovery onto the phone,
I can't find any twrp root folder to put my downloaded backup into, therefore I am trying to make the folders for TWRP to recognise,
SO if anyone could spare a second to show me their twrp recovery starting from sd card location down to the numbers (apparently their are numbers in the back up folder or something) all the way down till you get to the actuall zip file. It will be greatly appreciated, please take CAPS into consideration.
i.e: TWRP>BACKUPS>90182312932>HTDF>the file goes here
Also, if I am being a huge noob and there is a straightforward way to put a backup file into TWRP on my phone, please tell me.
Hi guys,
I really need help on this, and i am hoping very much someone can be patient with me as i try to install a custom ROM on my HTC Desire S.
The BIGGEST problem i am facing is getting command text correct in the command window, i am using Windows 7 home premium on a laptop, the previous posts i read and followed were all saying put this in the command and put that in the command but none of them were correct and my computer kept saying wrong!
I am currently at the stage where i have visited HTC Dev and i have sucessfully gone through the procedure for unlocking the bootloader, i found this difficult to do, command prompts they gave were wrong i had to change paths, and i was missing certain .dll files on my computer too, which HTC did not mention i would need, but here i am after days of messing about and trying all sorts of commands, with a unlocked bootloader, with S-ON and running a Vodafone stock rom of Gingerbread Android version 2.5.3.
My phone is Vodafone branded i wish to remove all of their branding and apps, and install a plain unbranded ROM.
However, i need step by step instruction, i can not do this from threads that say "follow this here (link to another thread) which then links to another and another, i ended up with i think 15 tabs in the browser open, with conflicting advice, conflicting information, mistakes, and a whole lot of jargon that i did not understand, so what i really am hoping for is firstly links to all the software or downloads that i will need first, direct link to the rom, the backup, and anything else, if anyone needs info from my phone to pinpoint a specific rom i am happy to give it, i do not mind another HTC rom as long as its plain with no carrier apps or branding on it, then once i have got all the downloads sorted out i can start from there.
Please help me out i have been at this for days and getting nothing except confused.
Many thanks! :good:

I have found this quite up to date guide which is very easy to follow, are the rom and all the downloads OK for a UK phone?
I have hboot 200. 0002 as well as S-ON so i believe its the same, i can follow this one quite easy is it ok to do??
Also, while flashing this rom and recovery image, should i have SDK tools open on my computer??
And another thing, i noticed while extracting the recovery image that it just says recovery, should i rename it to recovery.img or leave it as it is? Because the command prompts are saying "recovery.img" and not just "recovery"?????
Thanks.

First you need to get in Folder Options in your WIN 7 Control Panel.There's option in View tab called " Hide extension for known file types". Uncheck that option and click ok.Then you will see extensions for all files on you win 7.This will show you extension of recovery.Should be .img.
Then you can follow that guide.I used the same one.
You need to get newest recovery.There are TWRP and 4ext for HTC Desire S.They are up to date.Do a little search and read posts and info.
Check post about panels (Hitachi or Sony)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524.Again search for that in HTC Desire S forum here.When you check all of that you can try any custom ROM but always backup nandroid.
Little hint : If you want to start CMD window in any folder first open that folder hold SHIFT and right click on empty space.You will get command there named Open command window here.Click on that and you can work.
GL.If you need more help ask here again.

Thanks mate, i will do what you advise, good trick about opening command in a folder
I will ask if i get any questions then cheers
OK i have a question straight away, it says in the tutorial:
Copy the rom onto the SD card, then it says copy the boot.img onto the android C folder - SO -
Do i first extract the boot.img and copy it to the C android folder AND copy the same boot.img onto my SD card, as well as the meta info and other stuff?
OR do i copy the boot.img onto the C drive only, and copy everything else onto the SD card?
A little confused here on what to do.
Thanks for any help.

You do exactly that. You place the rom into the sd card, and you copy the boot.img into the said folder.
This is because you are "unlock s-on", the recovery isn't able to flash the boot.img, so you have to do it manually.
Remember, even after you flash the rom, if you did not flash the boot.img the phone will NOT fully boot.
*also, the guide says to turn the phone off after flashing the rom and boot into the bootloader. I dont think this is necessary, you can just reboot the phone into bootloader from the recovery itself.

So, just to clarify, i copy the whole .zip onto the SD card (including boot.img) and then re copy the boot.img into my Android folder on the computer (i will then have boot.img on BOTH the SD card and the C Android folder, this is where i am getting confused, i intend to start flashing today sometime.
OK i am going to flash Reaper V.4 rom and 4EXT as recovery, if anyone has better suggestions on a safe rom please let me know i will flash that instead.
Thanks.

You can try other roms when you try that.There's a lot of nice and smooth editions. First try reaper you have it now.
With S-ON you have to flash boot.img in fastboot after you install rom from recovery.That's why you need to copy it in android-tools folder.Whole zip goes on sd and you backup old rom from recovery, wipe everything except sd (wipe is recommended) and then install from zip in recovery.After that reboot in bootloader then flash boot.img from fastboot.Reboot and wait.Should be in in few min.No more then 10.Follow the guide.

Any idea what i am doing wrong here? I do have recovery.img in my Android folder, but its not in the android tools folder, should i be putting it in the adt bundle folder rather than leaving it outside of it?

jmcclue means you need to download gapps for your android.That will be in zip and you install it through recovery just like rom.Most of custom rom require that step.Copy zip on SD,boot in recovery and flash from zip.Reboot and you will get google apps.
This guide is for HTC Desire S and you can find most of things you need but for roms follow Android Development in HTC Desire S on XDA.

fastboot is controlled by the bootloader, the rom can't affect it in any way. The option "fast boot" in HTC Sense roms is something else, that sort of hibernates the phone instead of powering off, so the phone "boots fast".
Thanks guys i will go aheah and do these

In Mediatek powered phones, splash logo resides on a separate partition called logo. You have to flash your logo.img/logo.bin to that partition. The logo.img you see in /cust folder is likely just a backup.

alright i saw some guide on some wordpress website to go to TWRP make boot partition backup , then to move that bacup to some folder i can access from pc ,alter logo , and put it back to original place + use that backup . Now im stuck before splash screen logo because phone can't load that logo and he is just rebooting after 10 sec or so . Only thing i managed to access is fastboot. Problem is i can't find any rom for my devices with .img format files so i can't rly flash them. Do you maybe have some idea ?

You just need to do more searches.
Huawei Stock roms come in update.app format. It's a compressed file that contains all the img files (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, logo.img, cache.img etc). There is already a thread to unpack such file and extract the img files. The tool is available here.
Now, once you get your logo.img, you can use dd in adb or terminal to flash it. This is not intended for normal users. I wouldn't advice it.
And no, you cannot use another phone's logo.img/logo.bin in your phone even if it's from another huawei.
