You need to have the VIA COM USB drivers installed for the computer to recognise the preloader...
I guess he forgot to add that step...

[ROM] Stock Rom Qmobile A50

Hello Everyone Today i finally uploaded the Stock Rom of Qmobile A50
Now many of you guys are requesting for this one so i uploaded.. It took alot time seriously alot on 1mb upload connection but that's no comparison to helping you guys....:laugh::laugh::laugh:
So i have broken the steps of restoring into five parts:
i.e.
1. You have to download the backup.7z from the given link below and then extract it and paste it in you're phone's sd-card root directory
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-OUKCPi2KIVW16YlJDME1ScFk/edit?usp=sharing
2. First you have to turn off you're phone and power it up by pressing and hold the volume up,volume down and power button at the same time...
it will boot into selection mode like below:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-OUKCPi2KIVnNnX1NSQ09sNEU/edit?usp=sharing
Select the Recovery Modeby pressing volume up button..
3. Then it will take you to the sub menu from it remember here you also have to select Recovery mode and you have to cycle the menu by volume up button and select it from volume down button....
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-OUKCPi2KINmhlenFWRzZlbVU/edit?usp=sharing
Remeber to cycle it from volume up and select from volume down....
4. Now it has taken to the custom recovery you previously installed if you haven't installed it this method won't work..... Now you have to select Backup and Restore menu by cycle it through you're volume up or down button and select it with you're power button....
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-OUKCPi2KIYjZ0M0oyY3BMZTQ/edit?usp=sharing
5. Then it would take you the sub menu of backup and restore now you have to select the restore menu to restore it.....it will start restoring and when on completion restart you're phone...
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-OUKCPi2KIdnAycUNsOGl1dTg/edit?usp=sharing
Voila you're phone is back to life from undead....
Don't forget to hit thanks button...

I suppose if you backup your current rom and save it to you're pc then try it by the way i recommend not to try because it could get you're phone bricked... but that model can handle jelly bean so give it try but at you're own risk... it doesn't cost that much to flash it back to stock rom in the market....
Best of luck.

so you haven't rooted it.....Or you just haven't got recovery after rooting... if you haven't is you're bootloader unlocked..

Help

So if you can't boot into you're recovery then just simply go into fastboot mode but before connect you're mobile to pc..
then extract you're backup .7z it would contain recovery.img and flash it with the following command...
for that you have to required Android sdk which if you have it can reduce you're steps but if you haven't it you got to download it and extract it...
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
then download the required files in tools section Android SDK tools and Android SDK platform tools
when you have downloaded it then open the the platform tools folder from you're extracted sdk window paste the recovery.img here then open cmd and go to the directory of platform tools in cmd.. like for example mine is in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools so i will type
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then it will open the cmd for tht folder then type in
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if it does't show then directly go to the fastboot mode from you're mobile and connect it to pc then type
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then type th following command.....
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry but it's my fault you guys have to unpack the backup from .7z and repack it to .zip
then you have a custom recovery now put the repacked zip onto the sd-card root directory then run cwm and wipe data/cache factory format and flash the zip.... with install zip from sd-card...
I Hope This Works :silly::silly::silly:

Thank you brother, you are doing a good job

VIDEO
Hey i have just made a video and for people who have problem understanding the steps i have uploaded the video and it will help you clearly understand the steps.
:fingers-crossed:
2nd METHOD
If the above Method didn't work for you because some people are experiencing problems with the above method for the latest firmware so you can try this method which shall work.
Things Required
1)A Rooted Galaxy Core
2)CWM.zip File(In Second Post)
3)Uni-init APK(In Second Post)
4)A Mind
Let's Begin
1) Download and install BusyBox.
- Open and install BusyBox.
- Done!
2) Copy »Uni-init v1.0.apk« to internal memory and install Universal Init.d.
- Please see HERE the entire instructions.
3) Download and install Android Terminal Emulator.
- Open Terminal and type following commands:
PLEASE TYPE THE COMMANDS CAREFULLY OTHERWISE YOU CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Code:
su
cd /storage/sdcard0
sh cwm.sh

5) Press and hold »Volume up« and »Home«, then press »Power« while "Volume up" and "Home" are held.
- Use »Volume up« and »Volume down« to navigate items and »Power« to select.
3rd Method
First Download Flash_zip from the second post and unzip it in the ADB Folder so the folder where adb files are present you have to unzip there. Now Also Download the recovery.img file from the second post and again place it where the adb files are there.So,The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself.Put the recovery image and the flash_image on the root of your C drive.
Let's Begin
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

If u didn't exceed then you will need to Recover Your Stock Firmware. The only problem is your all data and apps would be deleted so i advise you to take a backup of your all apps by either Titanium Backup Or Through Apps Backup And Restore So that if even any thing goes wrong you will have backup of all your apps. I will make a video guide on how to recover STock Firmware.
:laugh: HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED :laugh:

Sir, I've done the procedure and successfully flash the cwm, but when I perform the recovery mode (Power up + Home + Power) a Samsung appears on the screen and displaying a warning logo at the bottom and it just keeps on vibrating
When I release the recovery keys, it'll continue to boot in normal mode. Any idea sir?
