[Help] Install new ROM

Hello guys, i'm new on the world of Android and i need a little help. I'm newbie but i learn fast.
I got a new phone with android 4.4.2 China honor 3 (fake), after uninstalling some China app the operation system started to stuck at logo at the start.
So to solve the problem i red that i could restore the old OS using ROM file. The factory where i bought the phone sent me the official ROM file for my phone.
Now i entered on Recovery mode, first i did "wipe data/factory reset", then with ADB i loaded the file .zip "adb sideload update.zip". But how the file is uploaded it says "Installation aborted", without any error.
So now i need your help how can i restore this system... I tried also to buy an SD card 8 gb and upload the file on the SD, but same error.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the answer. But wheni try to run TouchRecoveryLoader.zip from recovery, it says "installation aborted" like for the ROM.
I dont know if the phone got root access, i think this can be the problem.
Can youhelp me?
Thank you

Bump! Need help guys
SUMMARY:
I unistalled wrongly MIUI (MiHome app) and the phone stopped working correctly.
Phone is a fake honor 3c with MTK 65xx processor.
1 - Phone doesnt load the main theme, after the android logo i see a black page. (i see the top bar where there are wifi, time etc)
2 - The phone is not rooted. (i think)
3 - I can enter in Restore Mode and Factory Mode.
4 - I got the official ROM file. (the factory gave me it)
5 - All file zip (that i try to use in recovery from SD or ADB) give me "Installation aborted" without any error.
6 - I haven't USB DEBUG enabled, and i can't enable it cause i can't load the Operation system.

if you open the zip file you got, whats inside it? is it a .tar file, or a .md5 file?

Sorry, i didn't write that i SOLVE the problem!
I userd flash tool selecting only "ANDROID" and pointing to the system.img of the ROM that the factory gave me.
Android reinstalled, all working fine.

[Q] Bassoon 7" dual sim .zip SDcard recovery rom needed or USB driver for flashtool

[Q] Bassoon 7" dual sim .zip SDcard recovery rom needed or USB driver for flashtool
Ls,
I'm trying to help a friend who deleted too many files from his Bassoon 7"dual sim tablet.
Now it fails to make calls and keeps saying that: "unfortunately, the system laucher has stopped".
I have no idea what he deleted (after I adviced him to install SU so he could move apps to the SDcard, so i feel responsible)
So im trying to reinstall the entire thing.
Factory reset doesnt help.
On needrom.com I found some jxd p1000 roms that might work(apparently the bassoon 7"is a jxd p1000 clone)
I have found several roms on needrom.com that might apply.
There's only 1 .zip rom that will attempt to install from SDcard. It starts but fails after a while because its the wrong ROM prob. It has android 4.1.1 and the tablet says 4.2.2.
The other roms require the flashtool.
I tried all possible flashtool that were adviced on this, and other, forums.
The problem is that the flashtools dont seem to recognize the device, neither does adb.exe.
I can use sideload but dont have the right .zip file for it. I can also copy it to the sdcard and use; recovery boot and install from SDcard but again, i dont have the right .zip ROM for that.
WIndows recognizes and is able to acess the device as a USB or as a m72_nand_p88 device.
I have installed the MTP-65xx usb drivers. some HTC usb drivers (windows reported the device as a HTC desire at some point) and the ADB usb drivers(windows reports the device as a ADB usb device if connected in recovery mode)
Questions(calls for help );
- Is there a USB driver that I haven't found that will enable me to use the flashtools so I can try the other ROMS from needrom.com
and/or
- Is there a way to convert the .rar ROMS that use the scatterfile to a .zip that i can use in reboot recovery from SDcard or use ADB sideload
and/or
:cyclops: :silly: im going crazy here....
Recap:
- I cant connect to the device with the flashtool
- I do not have the rom in a .zip that I can use in recovery from SDcard :silly:
- I do not know how, or if its possible to, convert the scatterfile/flashtool roms to a format (.zip) that I can use with recovery from SDcard or sideload (the scatterfile .rar roms are about 170Mb the .zips are about 400+ Mb so eitehr they are pre-unpacked-installed...?)
- I seriously have no idea what to do next..
Device:
samsung p1000 look alike clone; it has dual sim, 7 inch display, says bassoon on the back.
android 4.2.2

Any and all help is much appreciated!

Greetings Mac,
I have a similar problem with same tablet but I was able to fine the direct download site for Bassoon. It's in Chinese but you can figure it out. Scroll to the model and version (version # under 2nd battery i.e. 061) as well as the , click on link and on the page there is a down arrow and horizontal bracket on button on top to download. "SP_Flash_Tool". I am currently downloading the rom for my device but will post results.
Here's the link: http://pan.baidu.com/share/home?uk=2285182452&view=share#category/type=0
Good Luck!

Lenovo P780 errors- "Kernel Block Map to PMT mismatch" "No find KernelGZ" "No Split"
DISCLAIMER
---------------
I ASSUME THAT THE PERSON READING THIS THREAD/ARTICLE IS FAMILIAR WITH WHAT IS ROOTING AND ITS RISKS. ITS YOUR OWN RISK TO ROOT YOUR PHONE AND INSTALL
CUSTOM RECOVERY OR CUSTOM ROM. ITS YOUR CHOICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED PHONE ARISING OUT OF THE PROCESS/OBSERVATION FOLLOWED IN THIS THREAD
THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR THOSE:
=> KNOW HOW TO USE TOOLS LIKE MTK DROID TOOLS AND SP FLASH TOOLS
=> HAVE ISSUES OR DIFFICULTIES OR ERRORS WHILE ROOTING OR INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
BASED ON THE ABOVE POINTS, PLEASE PROCEED FURTHER
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FACING LOT OF DIFFICULTIES ROOTING AND UPDATING CUSTOM RECOVORY ON LENOVO P780 PHONE
THESE ARE JUST MY OBSERVATION, THE DIFFICULTIES AND ERRORS I FACED AND HOW I FOUND WAYS AROUND THEM IN DUE COURSE.
I WONT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU, BUT IT MAY, MOST PROBABLY OR GIVE YOU MORE HELP IN SOME PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.
FIRST THINGS FIRST. DO IT WITHOUT FAIL
PLEASE KEEP A FACTORY IMAGE BACKUP OF YOUR WORKING PHONE BY USING SP FLASH TOOL. STORE IT ON A SEPARATE DRIVE OTHER
THAN PHONE MEMORY/PHONE SD CARD. PROCESS THIS ROM IMAGE WITH MTKDroid TOOL BEFORE DOING ANY KIND OF WRITE OPERATION ON YOUR PHONE
TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CONTACTS, MESSAGES, IMEI, PHOTOS/VIDEOS, PERSONAL STUFF, SETTINGS ETC AND STORE THEM ON YOUR DESKTOP/LAPTOP/EXTERNAL DRIVE
GENERALLY GOOD PRACTICE IS TO TAKE ALL SORT OF BACKUP FROM THE ACTUAL PHONE ITSELF BEFORE DOING ANY WRITE OPERATIONS.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF CHINESE MEDIATEK PHONES FOR WHICH FINDING PROPER IMAGE IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
THERE IS NO BETTER FRIEND THAN A FACTORY IMAGE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR OWN WORKING PHONE. YOU WONT REGRET
PHONE MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE THREAD:
LENOVO P780 8 GB MODEL. Bought in INDIA 2013
Android version : 4.4.2
Baseband version : P780.V24, 2015/01/06 09:40
Build number : P780_ROW_8G_S228_150112
IMPORTANT PREPARATION AND GROUND WORK
FIRST OF ALL HAVE LOADS OF PATIENCE. DO NOT HURRY IN TO DOING THINGS FAST AND REPENT LATER. DEVOTE LOTS OF TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS
READ EVERYTHING AND WATCH ALL RELEVANT INTERNET VIDEOS FULLY, CAREFULLY AND PROPERLY.
DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE A COMPLETE FACTORY IMAGE BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE USING SP FLASH TOOL. PROCESS THE IMAGE WITH MTKDroid TOOL. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
1. Have a reliable PC or Laptop. I have rooted and updated custom recovery on my phone using Win 8.1 laptop.
Hence I would prefer a PC/Notebook with windows OS(7/8.1) installed. It is easier to find software and drivers for windows.
2. Connect your switched ON phone to PC and verify if it is detected properly by your PC.
You should be able to access the phone storage and SD card if any
3. Ensure your phone is always USB debugging mode enabled.
4. Use a tool like "usbdview" to clean up errant drivers first. Have a clean device manager at beginning.
5. Ensure you have installed proper ADB drivers. Check in device manager you should have something like "ADB interface" with no yellow triangle.
That means your drivers are properly installed. If finding drivers are difficult use PDAnet or search for universal ADB drivers and install them correctly
6. Preloader or VCOM drivers should be installed correctly. The one which worked perfectly for me was the one which I saw in You Tube by ITXTutor.
Search for "How to Install MTK Preloader 65xx Driver Correctly - Windows 8.1 64bit approved ! [HD]-PAxTCvRmlio" in You Tube.
Go Through the tutorial and download files from there. Do it exactly as it says in the tutorial.
[NOTE : IF YOUR ANTI VIRUS BLOCKS MTKDroid TOOL CREATE AN EXCEPTION]
7. Download MtkDroidTools-v2.5.3 tools on your PC. Once downloaded run the application as administrator. Switch ON your phone
Connect phone to PC. Take screen shot of MtkDroid tool application with your phone details. Create a scatter file and save it.
During this process MTKDroid showed only one error
04/06/15 14:09:29 ATTENTION!
04/06/15 14:09:29 File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found!
[NOTE : I CAN SAY CONFIDENTLY YOU CAN IGNORE THIS ERROR. IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT LENOVO USES TO ENFORCE ITS OWN RECOVERY IMAGE. THIS ERROR
FURTHER CREATES SOME PROBLEM DURING ROM IMAGE PROCESSING.]
8. Download SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01. Run the tool as administrator. Open the scatter file saved in previous step.
Go to Readback. Do a complete readback on phone. Start address always from 0x0000. Wait until READ back completes. It may take 15 to 30 minutes
and you end up with atleast 700MB size file.
My backup was 1 GB. Less than 700 MB means, there is some issue with read back. The factory image of kitkat which came as OTA was more than 700 MB.
Don't continue. Retry readback properly. You might have missed or incorrectly done some procedure(for e.g. wrong end address).
9. Once read back is complete, Run MtkDroidTools-v2.5.3 tools on your PC. Connect phone(switched on) to your PC.
Go to "root, backup, recovery" tab. Click on "To process ROM_ file from Flash Tool".
It will pop up asking to load the ROM image which you made in previous step.
Load that image. MTK should automatically start processing image.
At this point I got error as follows
05/06/15 19:16:27 --- Kernel Block Map to PMT mismatch!
05/06/15 19:16:27 -------------------------------------------
05/06/15 19:16:27 BlockName Offset

05/06/15 19:16:27 PMT: FAT
05/06/15 19:16:27 -------------------------------------------
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS ERROR AS WELL. LET THE PROCESS CONTINUE
MTKDroid TOOL will ask if you need to make a CWM recovery automatically, click no and one more window will pop up, press cancel.
[NOTE : EVEN IF YOU SELECT YES TO MAKE CWM RECOVERY, MTKDroid TOOL WILL THROW MORE ERROR AS COPIED BELOW.
IT WONT CREATE CWM RECOVERY IMAGE. HOWEVER PROCESS WILL COMPLETE]
05/06/15 19:16:34 --- ERROR :No find KernelGZ
05/06/15 19:16:34 --- ERROR :No Split Boot Image
Because of PMT mismatch error Flash tool will create two scatter files.
MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt and
MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt.
MTK Log is as below.
05/06/15 19:16:27 --- scatter from PMTis write to the file:
C:\Users\..\Desktop\MtkDroidTools-v2.5.3\backups\Lenovo-P780_150112_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_150605-191615\MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt
05/06/15 19:16:27 - Use it if SP FlashTool errors of 8038 or 4050 occurs
The entire processed ROM file will be kept in backups directory of MtkDroidTools directory. Ensure you make a copy of this for safe keeping. This
is very important especially MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt file will be very useful later.
[WHY YOU NEED TO DO ALL THESE FIRST IS BECAUSE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, EVEN A SOFT BRICK, MTKDroid TOOL IS VERY MUCH USELESS.
THIS TOOL WORKS ONLY IF YOUR PHONE IS SWITCHED ON AND BOOTED TO HOMESCREEN. MTKDroid USES ADB DRIVERS TO CONNECT WITH PHONE AND NOT VCOM DRIVERS.
IF PHONE IS NOT DETECTED BY MTKDroid THEN PROCESSING ROM IMAGE WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE. THAT OPTION WILL BE DISABLED ON THE MTKDroid TOOL.
SO NO SCATTER FILES, NO RECOVERY, BOOT, PRELOADER IMAGES, ETC, OF YOUR PHONE. SO BE VERY CAREFUL]
------------------- PROCEED FURTHER ONLY AFTER IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED ABOVE TASKS -------------------------
NOW ACTUAL PROCESS OF ROOTING AND CUSTOM RECOVERY STARTS
FIRST THING YOU WILL HAVE TO TRY IS ROOT THE PHONE USING FREELY AVAILABLE TOOLS
1. I tried various methods of rooting but, not one worked on Lenovo P780.
framaroot, towelroot, iroot, root genius, geno, mobogenie and many more didn't work.
Finally the latest version of Kingoroot did succeed to some extent.
2. Kingoroot version which worked partially was 1.3.8.2338
By partially, I mean kingo app did say Root was successful on both PC and phone. However Root checker application said "Root is not properly installed"
Application like SuperSU and busybox did not work after installation due to improper rooting.
[TRICK : DO A FACTORY REST]
3. I booted the phone in to FACTORY recovery. Did a "Factory Reset"
Now things started to brighten up!! The ever tough Lenovo P780 started to give in slowly and steadily.
After Factory reset done and phone booted up. The first thing I did was to take SP flash tool Readback once again, so that I have a clean factory image.
you may skip read back if you don't need a clean image.
4. Used another rooting application this time, i.e., iRoot older version 1.7.9.2
Viola!!! phone got rooted properly this time.
Root checker showed "Root Available", busybox and other applications started working.
NOW WE HAVE ROOT ACCESS TRY INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
[NOTE : EVEN IF YOUR PHONE DOES NOT GET ROOTED BY 3RD PARTY APPLICATION READ ON THERE IS STILL HOPE]
1. MOST HELPFUL LINK ESPECIALLY FOR ROOTING CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLATION IS GIVEN BELOW
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
IF ROOT FAILED FOR YOU USE TUTORIAL IN LINK TO ROOT AND TRY. THAT IS A DIFFERENT PROCESS. BUT FIRST CUSTOM RECOVERY
2. Go through the link fully. Get a good understanding. No need to do it exactly as it says. A little bit of tweak worked for me,.
3. I first tried to overwrite the factory recovery with the same factory recovery image that I backed up earlier, to see how it goes.
It is always good to try this as a first step to write using flash tool. Use the scatter files and recovery image from back up.
Here's the sequence of steps I tried.
a) Using SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1352.01, Tried to overwrite only the recovery image again with same factory image(download only). Note I used
MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt scatter file which was created from my phone from MTK droid tools.
I got error from flash tool
"PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded"
Error number 8038. The image was not downloaded
b) Now I realized why MTKdroid tool created another scatter file MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt. It was for this issue.
I retried the same steps again, but now with MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt file. Flash tool downloaded the factory recovery image successfully.
I powered on the phone, but was shocked to see it was not booting up. It came to lenovo logo and displayed error something like "DL install failed"
It was never booting up. It was SOFT BRICKED!!!!
How come with just overwriting factory recovery image again with same image.... I don't know reason for that.
Even a simple, harmless operation of overwriting factory image caused a soft brick.
This is the main reason WHY do a complete read back and relevant back up before starting write operations!!!!
I tried several other scatter files along with TWRP and CWM recovery images downloaded from the internet. I tried with all scatter files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605. It did not work.
c) Finally after several attempts, the working combination for me was a little surprise.
I tried MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt file created from my phone, along with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119_lenovo and TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK_Corrected
both downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
Select DA DL check box and do a download only.
This combination worked. Now I have a fully rooted and TWRP installed on my Lenovo P780.
Hope this helps!!!

Question Lenovo Phab PB1 770m no operating system help

Hi all i have new Lenovo PB1 770m I attempted to root it the TWRP was installed but it was not rooted

Well i did it. Is really simple but it seems nobody has this problem before. You need
- Download Stock Firmware from russian lenovo site
- The Tool i used is QPST_2.7.422 QFIL it cames with the Drivers (i used Win8.1)
- Put phone in Download mode (press vol up and down same time and connect phone to PC)
- Open QFIL program and select flat build
- In select programmer you select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbm
- In load xml i selected rawprogram_unsparse and path0
- After that you click download and wait like 4 min and when say finish succesfully you start phone manually
I hope this helps.

Thanks brother, yesterday i downloaded one russian rom in zip format and there was a .bat file included in it. i only double clicked and it flashed through adb and fastboot and it was successfull. i got the operating system 5.0.2 but WLAN is not working, tried flashing several time but no luck. i learned that it is still under warranty ..so sent it to warranty. in a week it will be back with be for testing again hopefully.
well i will try your method as soon as i get my beast again. Thank you so much for helping out in timely manner, really appreciate it brother.

it is very easy my friend just look into the only topic/thread about Phab plus in xda. it will guide you well.
if you get any error in recovery like footer is wrong/signature verification failed. connect your phone and first check if your device in being tracked by adb. use adb devices.
if your device appear in the list of devices ..use fastboot oem unlock then flash sevenmax twrp again after entering into temporary twrp as per phab plus thread.

- The Tool i used is QPST_2.7.422 QFIL it cames with the Drivers (i used Win8.1)
- Put phone in Download mode (press vol up and down same time and connect phone to PC)
- Open QFIL program and select flat build
- In select programmer you select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbm
- In load xml i selected rawprogram_unsparse and path0
- After that you click download and wait like 4 min and when say finish succesfully you start phone manually
I hope this helps.

Could you please elucidate more? I downloaded the ROM and the flash program. However, I've no clue how to get going. I don't even see the xml files anywhere (as mentioned by you).
Just don't want to screw it up bad so being little more cautious.

i cant use the .bat cause my phone is already bricked...it wont be recognize by the app...the only way is thru QFIL but the problem is that i always get the error above

Hi, same here. I tried using QFIL and getting Sahara Fail. Then tried clicking on the bat file but its not working since the phone is not recognized. Please help.
EDIT : I got the QFIL working just now and my phone is working. Flashed the stock rom and I think it will be just fine.

My phone was wiped by me . I have TWRP and my phone is read as ADB interface (when in recovery mode). I tried adb devices and it returned 1f82f24b recovery. I also can access my phone memory from PC when in TWRP recovery which enables me to transfer files.
My problem is it is only read as ADB interface not as Qualcom COM port device. When I try Download_with_partition.cmd I get the error that it can not distinguish devices and to try. Any solution by those managed to install it successfully?

For everyone landing in this page due to wiping his OS of Lenovo Phab Plus by mistake (like I did), please refer to this thread:
Lenovo Phab Plus PB1-770M Stock ROM needed

Thanks!

I was not doing the 8936.mbn part!
By default it is 8916 so it doesnt work. but after changing that setting, it work!:highfive::good:

I can't unbrick
Hi!
I have a Lenovo Phab PB1-770M, this phone won't turn on, only Lenovo logo, or fastboot or flashmode.
With Flashtool i can't flash. In Fastboot i flash a recovery or operating system, i reboot the phone and again only the Lenovo screen, operating system not starting.
What can i do?

Hi Pal
Regarding SKY IM-100 S,K or GN
Dont use PDL on it or any of those method above
Pantech very secure on there phone even rooting and and trying to modify there stock app can cause brick

hi.thank you for reply
but there is a problem
my im-100gn have stock recovery.when i send the zip file from adb in recovery mode (apply update from adb)
recovery report me:
the zip file is not signed

.
when i try to signing the zip file with some applications after signing recovery dont allow me to install.the error text like this:
the woofer is missing(i cant remember the "woofer" word it maybe spooler or something else!!!)
installing aborted.
update:
finally i sent my device to warranty center. one week ago. but now the warranty dont respond me.any tel number or any e-mail.

I already try it on any GN
Just flash it via recovery
Save the zip file on sd card and install it

thank you very much
Thank You Very Much JTunes
you're person who answer my questions about Pantech IM-100GN
yesterday warranty say me:repairing any smart phone in our center take 20 or 30 day and send it to you take 7 day.
i sent my IM-100GN 15 days ago.i hope my phone be well after 30 days
honestly i tried flashing IM-100 K or S rom in zip format.in adb or sd card update mode in stock recovery.both of them show me signing error and after signing zip file recovery still prevent flashing any zip file.so i tried to flashing system.img and boot.img files in fastboot mode.But the phone didn't boot and it just stay at "Pantech" Logo.
i think i should wait one or two years for this
publishing the Pantech IM-100GN Rom With "PDL" Format.
in this way my phone will be like first day
Again:thank you :highfive::highfive::highfive:
