[Q] HELP! Need guide to flash back to stock rom honeycomb using odin

anyone can help me with this? i'm stuck in the bootloop. please.

Flashing Firmware with Odin
Get Odin v3.04 from here:https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8
(Just extract the Odin folder)
You will also need to install the Samsung USB drivers for the device if you haven't installed KIES. Get them from here:https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/9
(Just install like any Windows program)
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere,for samsung read here ;http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key + press the power button .
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. If your ROM is a single .tar.md5 package click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1 and select it. This should like like the image below
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for any required drivers to install and the ID:COM section to turn blue like below
7. Click start to flash. If Odin hangs at setting up connection just unplug the USB cable and re-attach it, Odin should now resume
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.
If the firmware is from this thread it will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended UNLESS I state that the firmware is a "WIPE" version.
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update. Refer to the images below.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Regarding change logs. Samsung thinks firmware should be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get and that all a big part of the surprise user experience program so they don't publish any change logs.

[TUT]How to ROOT LAVA IRIS n320/n350[CWM] [CONFIRM WORKING]

Hey XDA folks i own a LAVA IRIS n320 (Basic Droid Phone) for past months i tried to search various methods of rooting it and installing the clockworkmod on the device.
Device Specifications are listed here : http://www.fonearena.com/lava-iris-n320_2372.html
N350 : http://www.fonearena.com/lava-iris-n350_2371.html
First of all i could like to thank @getmesar due to his method i got it work ! Love ya dude ! :laugh: :good: :good:
These devices are almost the same hardware specs With both being Meditak MT6575 Chipset Hardware :highfive::highfive:
NOTE:THIS CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DID NOT DO PROPERLY I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPEN TO DO YOUR DEVICE.
Let the Rooting Process Began :
We Need Following things ::cyclops:
1.MTKDROID root and tools : Here
2.SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 : Here
3.Drivers : MediaTek-1.1123.0 : Here
Got rOOt?
1.Making the Scatter File :
Open the MTKdroid tools and create the scatter file as shown in the pic and save the file in a good place(where you can remember)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Prepare the Scatter File: Open the SP TOOLS where you downloaded from above load the scatter file which we created
3.Preparing the ROm :
Click on the button ADD. Double click on the line and save the ROM.
#Things To notice: The filename Will be like "ROM_#". in your case probably it'll be ROM_0.
#Remember the path of the File. U'll use this file later.
Alfter Clicking Save a new Window will appear named as "Read Back Block Start Address"
Windows Settings Will be as below
Type: Hex
Read Method:Read Page Only
Start Address: 0x0000000000000000
Length:0x12BA0000
4.Reading the Rom :
Click on Read ROM with the phone switched off and connected to the PC
Follow these Steps Carefully.Once Rom is Created you can use it in future.On success you'll see a BIG GREEN CIRCLE embded in a message box.
5.Prepare files for FlashTool and make CWM:
Open the MTK Droid Root & Tools window which we left on 1st step.it is necessary to turn on phone and to connect it to the program. Click on To process file ROM_ from FlashTool button and choose the ROM_* file saved earlier. At successful unpacking rom it will be offered to choose CWM from similar phone. Chosen CWM it is checked on compliance to the connected phone and if ok, the CWM is created.
A new scatter file and other neccessary files are created in the backup folder in droid root program's directory.you'll need the files in the next step.
6.Download new CWM to the phone:
Start FlashTool, choose scatter in the folder created on the previous step. Remove marks from all blocks! Click on RECOVERY and we choose the file CWM in the same folder which was created on the previous step. Click Download and connect a cable to PC (phone has to be switched off) and expect the end of process.
NOTE n this step the CWM recovery block has to be marked only! Also it is necessary to use only the Download button and not to use at all the Firmware Upgrade button!
Summary of step 6:
--> Click on Scatter-loading.Select Scatter file from the backup folder.
--> Make Sure all the checkboxes are unchecked. Only Recovery should be Checked.
--> Click Exactly over Recovery.
--> It will ask you to select a file. Now select a Recovery file created in step 6. Tt must be inside backup folder named as "Recovery_###.img"
--> Click Button Download.
--> Connect SWITCHED OFF phone.
Green SYMBOL MEANS YOU ARE DONE :good:
NOTE: USE THE ADB TO ACCESS THE RECOVERY
COMMAND : adb reboot recovery
This is because the keys dont work
7. Install Superuser.
Load phone in CWM mode, connect to MTK Droid Root & Tools, go on the tab root, backup, recovery and, pressing on this tab
- install superuser
Voila You now have ROOT access ! enjoy ~

Before we proceed, let me remind you guys, that you are doing this at your own risk and no one is to be held responsible!!!
This ROOTing procedures and installing of CWM works perfectly on my device, so read and follow all the instructions carefully!!!:fingers-crossed:
We can install CWM without rooting this phone, so feel free to choose where do you want to start...:highfive:
Part 1
Rooting Your Phone
Download files below and do the following procedures.
MT65xx_USB_Driver
RootFiles
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.Download RootFiles and MT65xx_USB Driver from the links above and extract on your desktop.
2. Enable USB Debbuging Mode and Unknown Sources of your phone.
3. Connect your phone into your computer and wait until successfully recognized.
You may also want to check on your computers Device Manager if the driver is properly installed.
4. Open the RootFiles that you extracted on your desktop, right click on "run.bat" and run as administrator.
5. Follow on screen instructions...
6. Go to your phone and allow to complete rooting process.
7. Your phone will automatically reboot after rooting, check your apps and there should be SU (superuser apps) installed. Done! You have succesfully rooted your phone.
Part 2
Installing Custom Recovery (CWM)
Download files below and again follow the steps...
ScatterFile
RecoveryImageOnly for Starmobile D7!!!
SP FlashTool
Preloader.bin file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By the way I use MTKDroid Tools to create the Scatter File and the Recovery Image. Just head on the LINK, if you want to know more about MTKdRoid Tool thanks to rua1:good:
Moving on...
1. Extract all the files you downloaded from the links above on your desktop, and it's better to put them on same folder.
2. Right cllick on SP Flashtool and run as administrator.
3. Click on Scatter-Loading and look for the "ScatterFile".
4. Uncheck everything except for the recovery and look for "recovery.img" and hit enter, F9, or download button.
5. Click yes then turn off your phone, remove and put back the battery.
6. SP FlashTool will start downloading the custom recovery image.
7. Wait until finish downloading...the next screen will appear and hit enter.
Congratulations!!! You have now a Custom Recovery installed. Turn your phone off, and just press VOL UP + POWER BUTTON to enter into your new recovery.
NOW your phone is ready for customization, but before doing that...SECURE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!
I dont have customROM available for this device yet, but thanks to rovo89 for his great Xposed Framework
With this great application, you can now modify your ROM without modifying any APK's or flashing from recovery!!!
Some customization done on my phone is the APM (advance Power Menu)
Volume option to set independently
I also managed to backup the stock ROM of this device, that can be easily download back to your phone by means of SP FlashTool. (assuming you have messed up your phone system and failed to work properly)
Other purpose of the full backup is for the customROM, (wish that some of our good devs here might find time to take a look and help us make a customROM out of it)
I'm not good of creating customROM, but I'm hoping that I could build one...regards to all!!!:fingers-crossed:
This is my first thread so please consider this , just post any comment if i missed anything...thanks!!!

Can you move the download to another file host? Because the download is broken always showing ads but no download. Thanks in advance.
P.S Is the phone supposed to be in download mode or something? If so then how do we make it go in downloading mode?

I don't know. Because there is a specific scatter file for your particular model of phone.

Hey people i found a link to a Russian forum full with roms and thigs for our Blackview E7 check it out: http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t799594.html
Disclaimer: I don't know if any of these work because I haven't rooted my phone yet. Try these at your own risk.
PS: Can someone please explain to me how to get TWRP on the Blackview E7? I tried the latest flash tools and a recovery "meant" for my phone but no success. The green circle appears as tho it is flashed but nothing changed. Thank you in advance

Help!!! my lenovo tab a10-30(tb2x30l) has been bricked!

Hey, This is my first post, hope it goes well
What happened was,
-->I installed a custom rom(LineageOS) with the help of twrp recovery installed from xda(link below) and I have succesfully installed the rom and also intalled root with it
-->Later, after further use of the new rom, ,it was uncomfortable. It was not as fast and compactable as the original rom so I decided to revert back to the official and original rom.
-->But This is where I made a big mistake, I was to try to clear the data and try if the custom rom fixed but instead, I wiped up the whole rom and no backup!!!
-->Now, I cannot go into recovery mode, bootloader and whichever vol+ and vo- and power, all combinations boot me to twrp.
-->luckyly, the adb sideload is working and it is not detected in the lenovo downloader software for me to flash.
Any help? Please help me.
Thanks

That's an ADB issue.
ADB sideload's progress indicator only shows 100% if transferred size is 2.2 times of ZIP-file size.

What files are present there? You may have to extract them to get an .img file

I have a rar file which I extracted, there is no folder present.
These are the files present

Someone, Please help me to flash the stock rom or even any rom.
I just want to get the tablet working in any android. Doesent matter and I want to get rid of TWRP.
Even if I flash using adb sideload or eve using TWRP install zip, it boots me back into TWRP again even tough it is a successful Installation.
Thanks for your help

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply
I'm unable to download the file
It takes me to this tab

Checked it: Link given above is working as expected.

Hi,
I think you did not get me.
You can watch the video below for your reference.
Link - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ye9hNjzIJJGnxelvv0lK3lgmqjZA2m7v?usp=sharing

Correct.
Search for suitable Stock ROM at your own.

I've searched for over 3 days but no luck.
All I get is the rar file and inside that, firmware folder, drivers and software for flashing it.
If I get the tab into bootloader, I can flash but it does not allow me to go into boot loader, stock recovery.
All it does is to take me back to TWRP.
I have aldready installed around 7-9 stock roms but no zip file with meta inf folder, boot.img, system.img and the other required files.

Please Help

So I searched the WEB for tablet's Stock ROM and found it within seconds.

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

You flash it either via ADB Sideload method or via Lenovo Downloader Tool.

Hi,
Even I had found the same one.
But how do I flash it via adb sideload?
The problem is, in the zip file, there is drives, firmware and another folder.
Thanks for replying
