Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
Thanks in advance :highfive:

1. YES
2. NO, unlocked is not rooted and you'll need a super user.. Most new (4.2.2) custom's have this pre-installed.. otherwise use a .zip or the recovery may have it..??
3. Click the link at the bottom of my signature.. There is a chart for roms.. have a look before you flash..

what shall be the steps i should be doing in odin? also i cant understand the proper function or procedure to be done for my fault.
Also please understand that i actually installed CWM from rom manager and later i freezed rom manager using titanium backup. After that the recovery was working fine manually. i stupidly factory reset the phone without unfreezing the rom manager. may be this is the reason why it got stuck up.
just tell me that is there any way through which i can flash my old backup stock rom using PC(created using CWM recovery) also tell me that is there any software which can clear cache by connecting through pc. so that i can give it a try.....please help me.
am very badly tensed...

Yeah i googled..but no results came up for my model... I downloaded one which is latest of version ...Then i installed it. also read that the back up files(of ROM) must be in .tar format in order to flash it from odin. Also the phone must enter some kind of FORCED UPLOAD MODE (saw in case of samsung).
what shall i be doing to enter that download mode(same as upload mode i guess) which you mentioned above.... Is there any converter to convert my back up files to .tar
Use this link and follow the steps u can easily unbrick your phone.

Hey guys.. Same issue happened to me also. I have rooted my Xolo B700 successfully and after installing some mods with the help of CWM recovery, it was working fine then. But today when I reset my phone backup & restore under under phone Settings the device shutdown and when I press power button it keeps on showing boot logo("XOLO") and then android Robo with processing bar and then restarts and same procedure happening infinite times untill I remove the battery.
i tried to get into recovery mode but didn't succeed. Please help me to restore to normal mode my phone I have my stock Nandroid backup in SD card. HELP ME !!!! :crying::crying:
my phone is rooted for a few months and now i decided to reset my device after restart i am stuck in cwm recovery loop.

odin is not detecting my device
usb debugging is off as it has been reset
please help

tried some commands like restart bootloader
dont know what to do ahead
any commands to flash stock recovery or delete cwm recovery from phone using adb or cwm
Have you tried to download a custom rom and put it on the phone by enabling USB storage in cwm? By doing so you could get the phone working again and then doing a stock reset. I succeeded once by doing this way.

I belive that a update.zip can solve may problem, but I dont find this UPDATE.ZIP to I8552B.
i was in same situation as you
so relax,continue reading and ask me for any help
this is my checklist for you
1) you need to be in download mode inorder to be detected by odin.Also try to set up kies in download mode
2) if even after installing kies your phone is not detected by odin then install pdanet+ drivers
if odin detects your phone you are alright now
flash stock recovery and please do not forget to follow instructions correctly for flashing stock recovery

Make sure you have connected to the internet. Now, in download mode when you get SAMUSUNG MOBILE USB CDC, see that you allow windows to install drivers automatically from the internet. It happened to me and now everytime when I connect it to a new PC I make sure that I allow windows to install the drivers initially. Win7 & Win8 both are great as they a least problems in installing drivers. If still doesn't work uninstall drivers and try in another USB and if prompted allow windows to install drivers. Hopefully this should work. Also let me know if you tried to connect the phone is some other computer.

Hello to all BLU vivo iv users this thread is for gaining root access after updating your blu vivo iv to 4.4.2 usually it can't be rooted properly u can get root via recovery install method but root explorer and other root apps will not get proper su access but it won't work or will fail constantly to complete system operations meaning u can't edit system at all!!!:crying:
I made an insecure boot.img with more adb access seeing that it does not have much developer options in settings it still wont but this boot img will allow proper root.
first u must install Carliv recovery from here not my work this is for Gionee elife s5.5 but vivo iv is same device so it's safe tested myself :http://elifes55.blogspot.com/2014/07/guidegionee-elife-s55-cwmroot-required.html
use mobile uncle from market and update recovery choose recovery.img first item at top of the list the downloaded recovery img must be in base of internal storage do not place in any folders!!!
after that reboot to recovery vol up + power scroll with vol keys power to select scrool to install zip then scroll down to install from internal sdcard choose "bootimgADB.zip" wait for install to finish wipe dalvik and cache (ps when doing this it takes about a min or two idk why just dont panic and think your phone is stuck)
after that procedure continue to rooting using Vroot / root genius
Vroot: http://vrootdownload.org/
Root genius: http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
download root checker from market to check for root

please install supersu.zip after boot img flash in recovery then root over with root genuis
Thanks a lot for that information. There is not a lot of help aroudn for Vivo iv owners!!!
I have a problem before i reach 4.4.2, as the OTA update will not install correctly.
I have a rooted phone, with recovery installed.
I downloaded the OTA update, installed it, then it booted to recovery and gave the following errors:
CWM automade 10.07.20014 00:34:23
E:Invalid command argument
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip]
E:Can’t mount /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip
Installation aborted.
Any idea what this means? I tried unrooting my phone, and installing the OTA update again, but it gave the same error. I have emailed Blu, but i'm sure they will be unhelpful. I've tried googlin, and other people (with different devices) with similar errors from OTA updates say you cannot install the update.zip directly from recovery otherwise it gives:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" == "**********" || "ro.build.product" == "*************"
E:Error in /sdcard/downloaded_rom/***********.zip
...errors. Which from some peoples replies also gets their phone stuck on bootloop, so I don't want to try that.
Any ideas how to get this OTA kitkat update installed? Did yours update normally (with.without root/recovery)?
Thanks in advance

did u try choose zip from internal then update.zip but still try to get the update.zip for me
yes it would install with root but not custom recovery i kept my stock recovery cuz i knew blu would be releasing KITKAT btw amigo OS ruined KITKAT its like if it didn't update at all
hmm u have the answer at the start custom recovery may not install an official rom update though i may be wrong but if u can get the update.zip where it downloaded on your storage i can poke around and design it to flash via custom recovery
please in future do NOT!!!! install custom recovery before official update it gives probs
since u have the recovery there is an miui rom u can try to install from gionee elife s5.5 make sure u backup though its based on 4.2.2
thanks very much! I will upload the update.zip. I really only need kitkat for an app I am trying to use (which only works on 4.3 and newer) so the MIUI rom won't be of use to me.
If you could have a poke around and create a custom recovery that will boot it, that would be amazing, I will upload the update.zip now. I would forever be in your gratitude.
Also is there a way of removing custom recovery from the phone?
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
P.S. yes I also tried to install from zip using the custom recovery, but it said it couldn't mount /sdcard0 or /system or anything when I tried. I think the best option is for me to find a method of removing my custom recovery?
Th elink to the KitKat 4.4.2 update.zip is here: http://we.tl/FGgNDO2ts2
It will only be available online until the 31st August, so if anyone wants to download it/play with it etc... then do so before then.
Thanks a bunch!
P.S. I've bricked my phone trying to mess around in CWM... hoping my nandroid backup restores properly!

P.S. I've bricked my phone trying to mess around in CWM... hoping my nandroid backup restores properly!

so u finally bricked it just soft brick right ?
notice something strange it says it can't mount storage yet it backed up your rom it's probably just update script that needs tweaking
Possible Vanilla KITKAT rom
took rom from blu life 8 ported it it booted but got stuck on starting apps once boot.img seems to be giving the errors just have to pull boot from life 8
Pretty sure i've hard bricked it now
Tried to flash the update.zip using SP flashtool, but my phone wont even turn on/go to recovery now.. Computer detects it, but just a blank screen ... going to see if fastboot works, then try and manually install the boot.img etc...

If anyone has any idea how I can unbrick my phone I would be all ears...
I have tried all combinations of buttons, but the screen just won't turn on. When I press power+volume up+volume down, the flash on the back, flashes once... but thats it... why is there no information about bricked vivo iv's or gionee elife s5.5's on the internet

Just downloading now.
I was using the drivers that windows installs 'from the phone' when you plug it into windows. Those drivers worked fine... I then started messing around with downloaded drivers (probably all the same ones you have tried) and all of them just did the same thing or didn't work.
FYI, MTK Tools no longer detects my phone. It only detected it when it was booted (in CWM for me, I never tried it when it was actually working, in the OS). My phone only gets detected in 'device manager' and 'SP flashtool' sometimes.
I can upload all the drivers I tried downloading, but I think the more drivers you install, the more incompatibility there is... In the end I downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all the 'phone' related drivers on my computer, then just used the drivers that automatically get installed when you plug your phone in.
I'm just researching how to flash this system.img file you have uploaded (thanks), using SP Tools. If you've done it before could you let me know how? I don't want to mess anything else up now.
Thanks.
I managed to install Gionee Elife s5.5 ROM using SP Flashtool easily, and my phone now works!! Well, sort of.
The screen keeps freezing, touch screen keeps now working (have to press sleep button, to refresh it).
I am hoping the OTA update will fix all these problems! Fingers crossed...
I really want to get the Blu Vivo iv firmware though, as there are loads of chinese characters on this phone, even with English language on.
If anyone could backup their phone using MTK tools, and upload the entire backup for me and everyone else that needs it, that would be great! Then anyone who bricks their phone could unbrick it by flashing the firmware useing SP Flashtool!
Thanks for eveyrone's help especially taalibj01!!!! You are a legend!
Don't know how it's possible but here it is Blu Firmware files!!!!!

If you have bricked your Blu Vivo iv, or installed a custom recovery therefore could not upate OTA to KitKat 4.4.2, look here!
So everyone who needs to flash the new KitKat firmware from Blu follow these instructions!
Download the following file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt0i6d2og8ge0sc/BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493.zip?dl=0
(Supplied by the amazing 'taalibj01')
If you have not previously installed the MTK drivers (usually installs from the phone when you plug it into the computer) please download and install from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8umdofqgw..._Test.rar?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk08ekq3hf...336.1.rar?dl=0
Also download/extract SP Flash tool from here (latest version): http://androidxda.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
Before you start, when you connect your 'powered off' phone via USB cable whilst holding the up button, your phone should be recognised in 'device manager' as 'MTK COM USB (COM4)' or something similar, under the 'Ports (COM & LPT)' section. If it is not, then you need to install the relevant drivers (above).
Now you are ready to get started.
Turn off your Vivo iv phone and disconnect it from USB.
Unzip the BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493.zip file to any location.
Open SP Flash Tool, and click the 'scatter-loading' button.
Navigate to the unzipped BLU_D970l_V11_GENERICK_T8493 firmware folder.
Double click the MT6592_Android_scatter.txt file
SP Flash Tool will then list all of the files it has read form the scatter file and automatically 'tick/check' each of the 'preloader/MBR/EBR1/UBOOT/BOTIMG etc... files.
Most guides will tell you to press the select 'Download' from the drop down menu, but I kept getting an error message, but if you highlight 'Firmware Upgrade' from the drop down box, you should be fine.
Click the 'Download' green button.
Now plug your phone in whilst holding 'volume up' button.
SP Tools should recognise the phone, and the bar along the bottom should turn RED. The phone will disconnect, then recconnect again after a few seconds, and the bar will turn Yellow and it will say 'Formatting', then it will Flash the files to your phone which should take 30 seconds or so.
After it is done, a nice green circle saying DONE will pop up. You can now disconnect your phone, wait a few seconds, then power on using the power button.
All Done!!! KITKAT is now installed on your bricked phone!
Enjoy!
Hello, thanks for making this thread! Not much help out there for this phone. I started following your instructions, and immediately ran into a problem. On the step below...

...I opened the Mobile Uncle app on my phone, went to update recovery option, and chose the recovery.img from my SD card. The app popped up a message that read...

I just got the phone a few days ago, and it had KitKat 4.4.2 already installed from the factory. What do I need to do? Thanks!
Well I solved the problem. I downloaded Kingo Root and it successfully rooted my phone! I ran Mobile Uncle to verify, and it confirmed my root status.
My question now is, should I install the Carliv recovery, and flash bootimgADB.zip? Or, am I good to go now? I have SuperSU v2.02 installed. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------
So, I went ahead and tried to install the recovery.img using Mobile Uncle. It ran for a second, then a pop-up asked to reboot into recovery mode. I hit ok, but it rebooted into the orange and grey stock android system recovery.
So, I figured I would try to install the bootimgADB.zip from SD card, but it just comes back with installation aborted.
Any thoughts?
I looked for a long time how to root alcatel pop 3 and finally I found a way to do it. :victory:
Kingoroot, Kingroot and other programs don't work but follow these steps:
1. U need to download:
1.1. Super-SU
1.2. TWRP recovery
1.3. SP Flash Tool
1.4. scater (here is and cwm recovery if someone doesn't like TWRP)
2. When you download this copy super-su in your sd card and turn off your phone.
Open sp flash tool and click on scatter-loading and chose "MT6580_Android_scatter" in scater + recovery folder if u want cwm recovery or in TWRP 3.0 folder if u want TWRP recovery and click download.
Connect your phone with USB and press power button and volume + button in same time, your phone will boot recovery which you chosen. Find super-SU which you copied on sd card and flash it.
Reboot and that is it your phone is rooted.
