Hi im new to this rooting stuff and i need some help bad I got a g1 and it was in donut 1.6..i read a thread that said i had to get it back to a 1.5 firmware and after i did that i wasnt able to one click root it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! for some reason my file manager wasnt accepting the flash recovery image and now my fone is stuck with no on screen keyboard and camcorder..Im sorry if this thread has already been answered but i couldnt find anything to help..any help is much appreciated THANKS!!
hi, You could go over to cyanogen's wiki and start over. here is the link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod , just make sure you read it over a couple of time's cause there is a chance of bricking your device. Oh and when you get to the part a bout the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip HTC took the link's off for some reason but you can find them at http://www.mediafire.com/?zywmn354kre , or if that one doesn't work for you there is http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BYJBWHAB. I'll say it one more time make sure you read it over and over, and make sure you understand what it say's to do before doing it. Lot's of people have bricked there phone's for not following direction's, and it's no one's fault but your own. Other than that if you have any questions just ask, and ill be sure to help.
Long story short i lost my back ups and took it into sprint, they guy said it was possible to fix but im not skilled in this. The phone doest come up on the computer but it makes the attempt to install drivers even though i updated the lg drivers. Im very scared i made a paperweight.
All the searches ive made have broken links an i can ever understand what they want me to do. Links to threads with info on the basics an if possible a exact tut of how i can restore a stock rom an just make my phone work
Please i am way over my head an really need help.
Hi!
I think this return to stock guide can help you. Just read, read and read some more...then do.
>*LG G2*>*G2 General*>*LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock)
Be sure to download the firmware for your specific model.....and any questions or issues, you can ask in that thread as well.
Good luck!
To the wonderful hero who I hope can save me.. I just want to apologize before hand about the lack of tech-ie-ness in this plea for help.. I really am just a money with fancy tools at this point, just banging away making a mess of everything.. lol .. I did my homework after I made a mess. Aka bricked two phones of my my friends.. I took rooting droid as equal to jail breaking iphones... after a lot of reading after I I bricked, I know now the basics... having said that.. I did make a mess.
First I have a m580 I rooted.. too much pot and not enough reading later I hooked a friends m820 up to the same odin set up I used on my m580.. the problem is that m580 has built in keyboard and uses other command to put phone in to download mode.. so the keys dont exist to press to re-flash it with the proper firmware which I have now.. and no one is working on this phone type because its old as dirt..
that was first mess up.. before I learned how vary complex Dev droid talk is... I assumed this VERIZON ELLIPSIS 7 was a jflte type of galaxy s4 and using Flasher or flashy something like that.. I tried to put CWM on the verizon.. now its stuck in boot loop.. I have no back up.. I now know how important that is now.... been doing homework on MTK Droid TOOLS and SP FLASH TOOLS and think if someone would send me a stock rom of the Verizon Ellipsis 7 {qvm7b} I could handle fixing it.. although test runs with it to this point have shown an issue, I have yet to figure out points of contact on board to rest the preloader.. in other words, unable to keep it from rebooting every 5 second so I can flash it with a rom I dont have yet..... holding vol down does nothing.. same thing with any other button combo. .. I have popped off the back of the tablet to unplug battery just to get it to shut off. With what I have learned I feel I can handle any directions ok.. and if I could fix this mess I can handle not destroying any more phone or tablets.. maybe.. lol that is kinda the fun part of having things.. breaking them.. but these things dont belong to me.. anyone who can help me either get the tablet out of boot loop.. and or send stock and/or rooted firmware for the verizon tablet QMV7B I would be very grateful. Or if you know of a program I could use to wipe the m820,with steps by step “how to” for dummies please.. lol
HELP ME ANDROID DEV-ONE.. YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE..

No response in two days, thread closed.
Alright, Im going to be completely honest. I am a complete and total noob to the tech behind smartphones. As Ive been learning, I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy SII SCH-R760X, and after I attempted to flash a kernel that was suggested by this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/how-to-root-galaxy-sii-sch-r760-generic-t1928566, my phone is now stuck at the logo with a warning sign at the bottom. After all this, I realized I made the worst possible mistake anyone could ever make: I didnt backup my system. Luckily, I didnt have much data on it anyway. At this point I am aware it has become a softbrick, and Ive looked at guides such as this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/guide-fix-unflashable-soft-bricked-t1619571, but it still tells me to "put the recovery file in its place". Im assuming he's talking about the backup... which i dont have. If anyone could point me to where I can find a backup for it, or upload one for me, I would be incredibly in debt to you. Thank you for reading, I know how most people feel about noobs, but I dont know where else to go.
Please, if I am doing something wrong with this post, please tell me. I dont want to be an annoyance. In fact, this is my first time ever posting to a forum! Id love to get into smartphone tech, however, since I couldnt find a place to start, I made the foolish choice of simply diving in and ruining my phone (hopefully not permanently). Anyway, thank you for reading! Even if you cant help, I really appreciate the attention. Thanks!

You have already found good threads.
To recover a soft-bricked device, you basically have to flash back an official firmware for your device.
The guide you found was for the GT-I9100G, which is a little bit different from your exact device model.
Here is another guide for other variants of the S2: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED) by Phistachio.
As there is no "ready-to-go" recovery package available for your device model, you have to get an official/stock firmware for your device.
A link to possible firmware sources is in the first post of the guide you posted.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin should fix the soft-brick.
If not, maybe a wipe data (= factory reset) in recovery mode (long press Volume UP + HOME + POWER) is needed additionally.
And rooting your device seems to be working with this too: [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices by alephzain ... I found some users confirming it working fine to root your device model.
If you still have issues and need further help, please ask in the [Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread by It_ler thread.
There we try to give detailed help for all variants of the S2.
Good luck !
Thanks for responding man! I didnt think anyone would reply.
I really appreciate the help. However, I downloaded and flashed the droiddroidz kernel turner78 said to flash, and that was what made my phone go softbricked in the first place... I tried flashing the other two kernels instead, and they proceeded to put my phone in bootloop... So, I tried flashing the "Siyah" stock kernel everyone was talking about, and it made this weird eye thing with a yin-yang flash on my phone... And Im sorry Im a total noob, I just recently learned what flashing and kernels were from the help of google :/... Im still a little lost on what Roms are. But reguardless, Im assuming the kernels I tried flashing were incompatible or corrupted, and thats whats making my phone not work. If Im wrong, correct me please. I know my phone is version 1.4.1, but thats about it. I dont know if its "Gingerbread" or "jellybean" or whatnot. Im sure Ive just made a stupid mistake and Im too dumb to know how to fix it.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm looking for someone who can help me with step by step to uhh... fix my phone. It's a Lenovo s650 and I have tried to flash it via fastboot, but to no avail. And because of that, I'm here now. Please take a note that I'm not that good with these things so please bear with me. Anyhow, the phone is now kinda retarded. You know those pop ups, saying that something has stopped working, yeah... basically, I'm getting spammed by em'. So, there's no time really for me to do anything on the phone like going to the settings or even changing the usb mode to debugging without being bombarded by em' every sec. Thus, the reason why I want to flash it. (cause I think flashing is like turning them back to beginning, like after a reset?) Oh, and before that I have already tried hard reset. That, of course, didn't work. :crying:
Please help
P.S. Sorry if something is wrong with my English. But I hope it's adequate enough for you guys to understand what I'm trying to say.
