Hey all:
While I consider myself quite technologically inclined, it appears that what I think and what reality is are quite different things. Thus, I look for advice from this wonderfully adept community (I've surfed around quite a bit, but I've never had to ask anything).
Here are my phone's specs:
Model: i9020A
Carrier: Koodo
The short story:
because, currently, there's only ICS for the GSM version of the phone, I thought I'd try flashing the GSM version of ICS onto my phone, then load the radio settings for my phone type so that it would work. It didn't. I was able to load ICS, and it worked great; the radio settings for the i9020A, however, didn't load up. As a result, I tried to reload the stock 2.3.6 onto the phone, and I seemed to have failed miserably.
I'm now at the following point:
Normal boot: only loads to the Google screen (with the padlock)
Fastboot Mode: here's the information.
Product Name - HERRING
HW Version - REV 16
Bootloader Version: I9020XXKL1
Baseband Version: I9020XXKI1
Carrier Info: ATT
Serial Number: 3935CEB394BE00EC
Lock State: Unlocked
When I select "Recovery," it briefly goes to the Google screen (with the unlocked padlock at the bottom), then loads into ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.0
Here are the below options:
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sd card
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- GO BACK
Below these options is the following information:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.0
E: Can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
Essentially, what I am asking is if there is anyway to load the original 2.3.6 for the i9020A on here. If I'm able, then I'll patiently wait for the ICS OTA.
Any help that anyone can provide would be immensely appreciated. If there's any other information I can provide, such as pictures, I'd be more than happy to provide that.
Thanks so much.

Do you have a backup that you can restore? If not, grab the 2.3.6 update from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and try a flesh install.
You should also flash a new radio, I didn't have any luck with the KI1 radio on my i9020a.
Not saying this will help at all but have you tried the latest version of clockwork mod your version seems to be very old. Try this one and see if it helps Clockwork 5.0.2.3
Thanks a ton for this. I'm a bit of a noob with this, so any other information, i.e., how to flash it properly, would be super helpful.
Again, thanks a bunch for the reply!

Download this LINK put it on your internal sd card boot up into recovery then do a full wipe in clockwork mod and flash the ROM it contains recovery, radio and bootloader. So you will be back to stock and can follow one of the guides on here to get back onto which every rom you choose.
Will do.
Thanks again!

Okay, so I've downloaded the file, then put it onto the sd card.
I then boot into Fastboot Mode, then go to Recovery. I do the following here:
- wipe data/factory reset, then "Yes - delete all user data". It says the following:
-- Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
E: format_volume: no MTD partition "cache"
Formatting /sd-ext. . .
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure. . .

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
I then went into "advance" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" (which works)
I also did "wipe cache partition," and it says the following:
-- Wiping cache
Formatting /cache
E: format_volume: no MTD partition "cache"
Cache wipe complete.
E: failed to find "cache" partition mount at "/cache"

I then went to "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then chose the file that you LINKED to (0b9c8148de0d.signed-sojua-ota-189904.0b9c814)
It says:
-- installing <the above file name>
E: can't find misc

then there's a bar, which never fills; it then goes to the following text:

E: Error in /sdcard/<the file name from above>
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I'm pretty stuck. Anything else you might have would be fantastic!
Thanks again.

Yeah, I tried flashing the original 2.3.6 from that page, but there's no luck . . . :S
Thanks for the reply, though! Do you recommend anything else?

What do you mean "no luck"? What error did you get? Did you get the right version?
If you're on a i9020A you should be using this one - http://goo.gl/nN0Zp (Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.)

Could be wrong but that looks like your partition tables got messed up at some point.
EDIT you could also try looking on here might be helpful LINK
EDIT X2 Other people have screwed up their partition tables and have fixed it using this guide LINK
tehgeekguy is right, if your model number is I9020A then it should work using the rom he linked, did you install Clockwork 5.0.2.3 before trying to install the stock 2.3.6 rom, if not then please try.
Yeah, that's the one I tried, but I received the same error message as before:

I'm going to try it one more time to see if I can't get it working. I have a feeling my partitions may have been messed up . . .
Thanks for the reply.

I'll definitely take a look at this. Thank a bunch!
The partitions is probably right, have you tried with the stock recovery instead of clockwork, worth a try.

So, I went to the page and downloaded the following file:
"Option for no confirmation at all. Just flash in recovery.
signed-noconfirm.zip"
I put this onto the sd card, then attempted to install. This is what I received:
"-- Installing: /sdcard/signed-noconfirm.zip
E: Can't find misc
Finding update package . . .
Opening update package . . .
Installing update . . .
Installing .no_confirm
use at your own risk!!
reboot recovery and enjoy!
Install from sdcard complete"
Thus, it seemed to work pretty well. I thus rebooted recovery, but ClockworkMod is still showing that it's version V3.0.0.0.
Should I be flashing one of the other options on that page? If so, which one? And would you, by chance, have a detailed explanation as to how to go about doing that?
Thanks so much. I'm starting to feel like I won't be getting anywhere . . . . The responses have been awesome, though, everyone. I really appreciate it.
You have been trying to install a switch to turn off confirmations, to get Clockwork 5.0.2.3 installed you will need to use the same method as when you installed Clockwork 3.0.0.0 but use this image > 5023-cyan.img.

Makes a lot of sense. I'll try that.

Okay, so I flashed Clockwork 5.0.2.3, then I flashed the correct i9020A package. It worked beautifully.
Thanks a ton, everyone, for all your help. This is great!
Clad it worked for you.
I flashed my ubislate 7c+ edge with the wrong recovery, and i believe it wiped all partitions.I have already tried every possible method found in any nook and corner of the internet.
I'm stuck in cwm recovery loop, it will boot to nothing but cwm recovery.
LiveSuite isnt working, i have like 4-5 images out of which atleast ONE of them must be the correct firmware(all of these i found on xda and the internet which was said that it would work) BUT none work since partitions are gone...
recovery says like cant mount system
cant mount emmc.... etc
Pheonix card doesnt work either, shows sprite error
I can make neither head nor tail of it.
Can anyone show me a way with which i could manually fix this tablet by either writing the partitions manually somehow or doing some magic trick(lol)? Please enlighten me.:crying::crying::crying:

Edit : Hot news !!
After months of pure hopelessness ! I opened my back cover(for the 3rd time), moved the sticker and noted the board number(pcb number i guess?).
A sticker was covering it from being seen lol ! I noted it and googled the number.Found 3 firmwares for it. The first showed nothing in livesuit 1.07. Went till 3% and nothing happened. In livesuit 1.11 it showed x162 error(for a gazillionth time).I was hanging on the edge now. Had downloaded only 2 firmwares.
Tried the 2nd one and boom ! it went past 4% and i watched with glee as upgrade succeeded!! So my partition was wiped, but this managed to rewrite it.(Pats myself).
No datawind logo on boot. Everything works perfectly.
Link to working rom.I'll never try to upgrade this thing again lol .

Dude. You need to flash ROM via livesuit. Nothing else will work I promise.
Unzip that file and you will find the image to flash.
Good luck.
