i´m sure about this is the problem... when you changes your rom by another.... you must to do full wipes because the apk´s must "zipalign" again and busibox its new too...
can you enter to recovery menu????you can recover your sistem from here....
EDITkay i´ve just read your xoom post...
enter into recovery menú flah the rom again step by step but DO FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASH AND AFTER FLASH

i am able to connect it to my pc and run commands via the fastboot protocol support.. but i am not sure what to do. can you help me from here?
i am using the wifi only xoom, which i think dont have the recovery menu however i have fastboot protocol support which i dont know if will work flashing files, although i could do a reboot from command line now
EDIT
Boy oh boy am i a happy person today. after all the things thats been going on with my xoom;. i thought i nearly bricked it.
i am very fortunate of 2 things mainly,
got it to reflash via fastboot, (downloaded US stock flash files from motorola site)
reboot and voila!...
not just that.. moments later. i got OTA 3.1 update via wifi!!!! yay... i am so happy i nearly cried
after all the hassle wanting to upgrade to 3.1 without the OTG cable, i went and flashed 3 or 4 tiamat versions today before soft bricking the xoom.! phewwww that was so close
if anyone wants to ask me in detail of how i recovered. pls feel free to PM me...
thanks all
not i guess its time to install clockworkmod and lets see if tiamat 1.4.2 will be a successfull install

Finally you solved it or you haven't the fastboot parameters??your last thread its too harsh for to me,dificult i've a poor english...
If you need suport for recover your xoom i'm going back to home in a few hours.. 3-4.... And nicely i will answer your SHORT QUESTIONS lol

Thanks for the new thread angelobiz! It makes it a lot easier to keep track of the phones

How to boot in bootloader mode ?
Hi All,
I am still not enable to restart my N8000 Phone
Here is what I did
after a bad Custom rom flash (because I used the Star i9220 Rom )
I booted to chinese recovery A750 (V2.0.1)
I used the following flash process :
Flash process:
1) wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache
2) installed the zip of ROM from sdcard Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V.05
3) installed the zip "data2.5g.zip"
4) reseted the phone
5) the phone restart , it display the "Android Blue Robot" and then the "Johny picture" and the only black screen.
So, I do no know what can I do ?
may be I can try to download the recovery but How can I boot to the bootloader mode ?
what is the keys to press a the startup ?
I wish that I will be able to rescue my N8000 Phone !
Thanks

[ROM][ODIN] I497UCBMF2 AT&T 4.1.2 Firmware (Rooted)

I497UCBMF2 AT&T 4.1.2 Firmware (Rooted)
For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SGH-I497 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the AT&T model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the AT&T firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official AT&T 4.1.2 firmware.
Details:
I497UCBMF2 Stock w/ Root Pre-Installed (NO MODEM INCLUDED AS I DON'T HAVE THIS. IF YOU HAVE STOCK 4.1.2 INSTALLED WITH THE MF2 MODEM, PLEASE SEND ME THE MODEM AND I'LL ADD IT TO THE ODIN PACKAGE)
Package Includes: SBL2, SBL3, ABOOT, RPM, TZ, BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM AND CACHE ZONES
Download:
I497UCBMF2 AT&T 4.1.2 Firmware (Rooted)
Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com
How To Flash:
BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.
Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site.

RESERVED...

If you have downloaded and flashed, please report back your results...
17 Downloads and no reports?

Not work,pls fix it,my screenshot
Stuck on download mode

Try to flash it again. I tested it a few times and it's been downloaded over 30 times with no negative reports. If it is still problematic for you, I'll upload a cache free version...

Mine is still pretty clean, which block do you need.

Do you have MF2 stock modem?

What are peoples experiences with this? Did they lose their modem?

You won't lose your modem, it just doesn't include the MF2 modem as I can't locate one is all. Also, there have been 66 downloads and no reports so I imagine all is well. I strongly believe the person above with poor English did something incorrect when installing due to that many downloads with no ill reports. I do wish someone would just flash and report afterwards though!

I just received this response from user "dobermanchik"...
"Hi,
I cannot post into the developers board so I am reduced to using this private message system. I'd like to thank you for that firmware. It works great for me and I have no issues so far. I was able to unlock additional languages and overall the system is stable and bugless. Thanks again."

ill give it flash and let you know

cr*p i just soft bricked my tablet by trying to change the font hope this works will report back after i flash.

ATT Samsung SGH 1497 Tablet unlock bootloader
Hi,
I appreciate your work on this device. You have noticed like me that little is out there for this device. You have provided some nice workarounds to update this tablet, however, I cannot find anywhere, a way to unlock to boot loader. I have carrier unlock from ATT, and cannot seem to fins a way to root this tablet.
You seem to have already accomplished this and I wanted to ask for your help to unlock my Samsung SGH 1497 ATT Tablet.
If you could help, I will rave about you on XDA!
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mark (hammeru)

brought my sgh 1497 back from the dead.
I successfully used your posted firmware to revive my 10.1 samsung!
thanks.

[Q] New KitKat update fails from 9.18.94 rooted, locked.

I'm currently using the Droid Razr Maxx HD 9.18.94.XT926 and I'm trying to download the new KitKat OTA, but it's failing because I rooted my phone. I've been searching, and I'm not completely sure how to go about fixing this, if I even can. I have a locked bootloader if it makes any difference. To be honest, I feel silly for not being able to figure this out myself, but I really don't want to accidentally brick my phone. Turns out I know just enough to be dangerous. :crying:
Any help would be appreciated.

Instructions here for locked and unlocked bootloader. Also can't install the OTA with root. Has to be unmodified stock with stock recovery.

OK, I figured being root was the problem. So now for my next question, how do I flash a stock ROM? I tried using the RDS Lite but I couldn't get my phone to show up. I also wasn't sure which file to use from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5 or if that mattered.

Here you go, you have to flash the stock rom, YOU will lose root.
Send me a pm (LOL i can't share links here hah i'm newbie), with the instructions that i followed, i'm right now on kit kat

House of Moto setup
please understand, I have a unlocked bootloader, so please take caution and read up on things before attempting.
Here I set House of moto up for XT926 it includes everything you should need to return to stock. I selected option #1
Of course you need the correct Motorola drivers installed for your phone.

http://www.drdevs.com/devs/livinginkaos/misc/xt926update/Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip
I then setup my phone up before updating, then ran stock recovery. I got the andy with red exclamation mark, held down vol+ and vol- down for a second then got menu. Selected zip from external sd. It verified things, installed new recovery then I went back to recovery after restart.
This time at the andy with red exclamation I pushed, held down vol+ then pwr button for a second. It then entered the menu, selected OTA zip again. It installed, I then finally rebooted and had kitkat running.

Thank you very much. Your instructions and file were extremely helpful. I'm now the happy owner of KitKat. For anyone else, reading, after I did everything and updated to KitKat, I had to factory reset my phone again to solve a problem with the Play Store, which worked with no problem.

[Guide][How to][Root] LYF Wind 1

I just bought the LYF Wind 1 Smartphone and couldn't find a proper way to root it, so I made up my weird way, which works perfectly fine and I'm sharing it with you guys..
Steps :-
Download Wind1Root.zip (mod edit: Please use the blue download button and not the green one.)
Extract it
Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone
Run unlock.bat
Enable USB Debugging again after reset
Run root.bat
UPDATE - Recovery replaced. Touch works now. Using Redmi 2 Recovery.
For any help, watch this video
or read the noob friendly guide at - http://www.ugeeky.com/how-to-root-lyf-wind-1/

i have unlocked bootloader.....and when i execute root.bat my lyf wind 1 shows twrp but in cmd it shows no device error....i have installed fastboot and adb

If anybody know how to replace Kinguser with SuperSU...
I tried installing Supersu-me and Superuser from playstore but none worked.
Supersu doesnt open. It stucks giving a black screen.
Its happening in my LYF wind 4.
If any custom recovery working, please do reply.

This worked well on my Lyf Wind 1 well. Not it is rooted with SU, But when i boot into recovery mode the TWRP has a bug and it shows only a blur screen after swipe to unlock. I need to power of and on again...

Bro can you please provide a root method for LYF flame 1 ? It will help me a lot !!

Need stock ROM and flasher for my Wind 1
What if something goes wrong when trying something new & attractive but UNSAFE?
If it's not available, then how to backup whole stock OS present in the phone right now?

That thing is working on that build number, I can personally confirm that, and as far as I know, it doesn't depend on that either. Check that fastboot is working properly

Which phone's recovery did you use? I want to port the rom for wind 1

@ Akash : Thanks for your input. Would you kind enough to post a link to fastboot , as ugeeky hosting sever is down. and I dont think the fastboot that I have is working properly. My Laptop is running Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.14393 64 bit . I hope it is not a problem .
Thanks again.

this is not working when i start root.bat it stucks up with a blur black screen and nothing happens I had to power off the device and power it back on. but the root did not happen, pls inform me what is the problem.

LeHarkunwar, A Big Thank You for coming up with the Root !! Have got rid of a lot of crap ware and unwanted stuff.
However, the points raised by "Java Baba" and "davinashgandi" deserve some attention. There has to be a tutorial/instructions for flashing stock firmware and stock recovery in the event that things go a little awry. A link to stock firmware and stock recovery with instructions for flashing the same is necessary and would decorate this wonderful work of yours.
Secondly, the twrp recovery is not at all functional when booted into. In such a case, applying incremental updates ( This Morning there is a new 37 MB update available) can soft brick the device.
The Wind 1 community will really appreciate if you can do something about this.
Again, Many Thanks for your superb work !!!

Stock firmware is not modified by this method, and there's no way to backup the stock recovery until we get the factory firmware, for installing any zips to the system, you can always replace the update.zip with the file you want to flash( remember to rename the file you want to flash as update.zip) in the files folder and then run the root.bat file.

Thanks Aakash. Yes, I'm aware that this method doesn't modify stock firmware. The suggestion was made so that people with soft bricked device would be able to revert to stock firmware if anything went wrong.
As for recovery, I managed to download the stock firmware and extracted the stock recovery. I also successfully flashed the stock recovery over twrp. However, the 37 Mb update was aborted due to some mismatch. No idea how to get around this with stock recovery. Yes, it's possible over twrp like you said but I would prefer to apply it through stock recovery.
If only we had a functional custom recovery, things would be even better.
On a side note, has anybody been able to figure the rebranded model and company of Wind 1 ?

Ok. I have tried flashing the downloaded update.zip via stock recovery and twrp but no success. I guess the only option left now is via sideload method. And if i'm not wrong then i would lose root if i installed it via adb sideload.
Slightly off topic, the voice Volume of Wind 1 appears low and somewhat muffled. It's not clear and loud like its in my MOTO G. Can fellow users please confirm this. I have also tried the *#4636#* code which opens the testing menu but it's of no use. Need some application or code to access the engineering menu via which we could increase the voice volume.

@harshad
Please ensure that you have properly installed drivers for LYF Wind 1. To check this, enable USB-Debugging and connect your LYF Wind 1 to PC. You will also get a message on your phone regarding granting authorization to your computer. Click on Yes. If you don't click on yes then you are bound to get the device not found or device offline errors !
While flashing, i got the device not found error a couple of times and i noticed that i hadn't granted authorization to my computer for USB debugging. The authorization window had popped on my mobile and i was too busy looking at my computer screen.
Now, open Device manager on your computer. Click on Scan for Hardware changes. If the drivers are not installed properly then you will see Yellow exclamation marks against your Android phone. Please install the USB drivers for LYF Wind 1. ( Google if you don't have the drivers)
You need to have;
1) ADB and Fastboot installed as Administrator
2) USB drivers for LYF Wind 1 installed
3) Allow OEM Unlocking , enabled via developer options.
4) Enable USB debugging , enabled via developer options.
If all the above things are in order then you shouldn't have any problems rooting LYF Wind 1 with Le Harkunwar's excellent tutorial.

Try a battery pull. Take out the battery and wait for 5-10 seconds. Insert the battery and now try powering up the device.

you need to download stock rom and flash that to make your phone work again. I found this site, zeon22 has also listed a site, but i found this to be more user friendly in downloading files.

I also received the update but I'm not interested in updating since my phone is running fine just now, I don't want to loose root or brick my phone while updating which will most probably be more bloatware(few more apps from reliance jio). I will wait if marshmallow arrives for flashing stock rom if it arrives (although chances are pretty slim). Meanwhile I'm working on a port of cyanogenmod for this device form Yu Yunique, the device from which harkunwar got this twrp from, but I'm still not able to resolve touchscreen driver issue. Info on this device is really limited, and i don't know anything except that this device is from zte.
