Hey guys, I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread but I urgently need help from you guys!
So now I am having a china tablet, it is Ployer MOMO5 (if you guys know) and after using for awhile, it has stop working and I decided to upgrade its firmware.

Any idea why it stopped working before you upgraded the firmware?
Not sure, maybe i did not use it for too long already.
Then when I on it initially, it showed all the RAM ROM and numbers (Not sure what it is called)

Then I decided to upgrade it by downloading the latest firmware, insert it into my micro SD and insert it into my china tablet to upgrade.
Everything worked fine.
But now I cant on it.
How did you install the firmware?Using a custom recovery or the pre-installed recovery of the tablet?And do you happen to have a backup of the working OS?

Boot into recovery. Then go to Mounts and Storage, and mount USB storage. Connect your phone to your computer and your SDcard contents should show.
Transfer the latest CM10 nightly to your SDcard. Then flash it and hopefully all should be fine.

Reflash the boot loader of you device using Odin if you can. It will solve the problem. Since im on a different device I can't tell where you can find it. Just search for it.

About odin
Sewrizer said:
You can go in cwm recovery->mounts and storage-> mount sd card or usb storage then connect phone to PC. After connecting it, you copy a rom to sd card and gapps if necessary and then perform a full wipe and flash the rom along with gapps.
If the mounts and storage thing doesn't work, put your sd card in an adapter or another phone and connect it to pc and move the rom and gapps there then put the sd card back in your phone, full wipe and flash.
If this doesn't work, do a restock with odin with a rom from sammobile. If you don't know how to do it, send a reply to my post and I will give you some instructions.

Ok so, I've download ODIN and I have the ROM in a zip file in the internal memory but ODIN just takes .tar, .md5, smd, gz and tgz and I don't get odin to cominucate with the phone, ID COM never gets blue and Sammobile seems to be for Samsung phones
I would just perform a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. then try a reboot, if that doesn't work then you can mount the SD Card via mounts and storage> mount usb storage and then try a few different roms and if possible try find a stock recovery that someome else has posted and the correct Gapps. Try reflashing CWM too. Hope that helps
I received a Galaxy Note 1 I717 (AT&T) and it was in a bootloop. I have experience with flashing stock roms through Odin and fixing bootloops that way. So after going through recovery mode, wiping, flashing, I am still getting put into a bootloop after a successful flash on Odin. I've spent 2 days with this and tried all the little suggestions of wiping before flashing, using the original roms from XDA , trying some other stock roms specifically for my model and I'm still left with a bootloop. I'm capable of getting into download and recovery, and I've actually gotten different stock recovery modes! So the flashes are working, but it just won't boot up correctly. I looked around for the U.S. version of the Pit CSC Phone and PDA to try and re partition it, but they are absolutely NOWHERE! Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether it's a ROM suggestion, the re partition files, or whatever else.

Status 7 means the device is incompatible, but that's impossible since we have the right ROM for your device.

I bought it from a friend because they had it in a boot loop. Everything on it was completely stock since they were your average user, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware issue either if that helps because randomly after flashing CWM one time it actually booted up and I was able to use the phone. But after rebooting, it bootlooped again :\. I haven't been able to replicate this again sadly.
I have a Galaxy S3 model SCH-i535 (Verizon) running Marshmallow 6.0.1 which is now currently hard bricked as far as I can tell (can't turn on, no recovery mode, etc.).
I've been in a similar situation before while it was still running stock everything (the model was originally listed as SCH-S968C as I guess it's the same exact thing and was running 4.1.2 but changed once I updated), but I managed to save it by writing a debrick image onto the external SD which allowed the phone to boot. Cut forward to now and I'm unsure what to do.
The problem started when my phone wouldn't recognize my SIM card and I tried re-flashing nightly cyanogenmod builds with TWRP, but it didn't work. Eventually I was told to install a new modem and eventually found a ZIP file that I had to install through the recovery. Once I installed it (same way I installed any random ROM), I rebooted and at that point it wouldn't turn back on.
I've tried using the same image as before, but it didn't work and I haven't been able to find another image that's for Marshmallow and I don't believe you can somehow revert it to stock by booting it through the SD or something so I could use the old debrick image.
I'm not sure what else to do as Google so far hasn't turned up anything.

Also it was running marshmallow 6.0.1 via Cyanogenmod, but if you mean before that it was 4.1.2 lollipop I think? Either way it was 4.1.2 something.

You can't boot into download or recovery mode? Don't see a reason it should've been hard bricked.

What I think I did was replace the modem file directly (ie deleting the current modem and dragging and dropping the new one in to replace it).

Missed this somehow.
You're going to have to pull a debrick image from a 4.1 stock rom (whichever baseband you were on, not the actual rom you were using), write it to an sd card until it boots from that.
Once your phone boots, you can then move the debrick image to your internal storage and fix the modem, the hard brick repair guide should work for you.

I think that's too old, and if you look at the hardbrick repair guide it's posted in there.
I think the debrick image is a boot image, don't quote me on that though. I'm not really sure what it is because I never needed it.

You mean the one labeled "Debrick file if you bricked before the 4.3 OTA" correct?
Sorry if I seem a bit dense, I'm just trying to extra-cautious.
EDIT: Also one more question. Does it matter if you use use a USB micro SD reader (something that looks like a thumb drive, but you put a micro SD in a slot on the top), or is there a higher success rate using a SD card adapter and putting it into a SD card reader?
I heard that somewhere while looking up stuff, so I was curious if there was any merit to it.

Your phone has a microsd slot, put it in that.
Also if you use the wrong image nothing would happen, not really a risk to your phone.
Not sure why you'd need an adapter

I also noticed the light turns red when I plug it into my PC without the battery if that means anything.
I figure I should give a small update. I sent it into a local repair shop to get it JTAG'd and it's working fine now, so I don't need help anymore (for now at least).
Thanks to everyone whose helped me, and good luck to the guy reading this from a Google search like a year or two from now.
hello guys
I've been trying to use my sd card as internal storage, but since the newest update doesnt let you do that anymore I found this thread> https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/themes/galaxy-j5-adaptable-storage-6-0-1-t3470020
now it says that i need to install twrp, so I tried to
when I started flashing twrp w/ odin, a "reset!" message appeared, so i turned it off and went to recovery mode to see what happens
now this is where it got scary
there was an orange line at the lower part of my screen and the whole thing started looking like a broken tv with those black and white snowflake-like thingies
any ideas what I've done?

Ok that looks like the correct recovery, have you tried a different version of odin/usb lead just to be certain
So, I think I misunderstood your question
I thought you were asking about the phone model (sm j500f) , not the recovery version. I used the first one, not the one I linked in my previous reply.
Should I try the other one?
And no, I was too scared to
Anyway, I was able to use my sd card as internal storage back when I used 5.1.1. I found the old firmware on sammobile -> https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/103392/J500FZHU1API2_J500FZZH1API2_TGY/
can I just flash it and go back to 5.1.1?

Alright
I couldnt wait and flashed the recovery you said was correct.
It worked, thank you
But is there a correct guide to partition my sd card?

I would be careful when partitioning the sd card, its probably easier and safer to use something like links2sdcard or apps2scdcard instead
