[Help] Install new ROM - General Questions and Answers

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!

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.

PC does not see TF101 B40

HI,
2 of my PC (Windows 7 64) does not see my transformer in USB Debug mode. I installed the 64 bit Dell driver on each PC. Could someone provide me with some options to try.
Is there a way to completely reset the Transformer to stock without USB or being able to load a kernel from SD card?
2 ways to reset -
If you can boot then go into settings --> backup and reset --> factory data reset.
If you can't, hold volume-down then press power, and wait till wipe data appears, use vol keys to select it.
and search for the Universal Naked Drivers, those may help.
Thanks. That seemed to wipe the user settings and data, but not the recovery app "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.04 roach-tf101-r2". As a result the following happened after I reset.
System reboots
System comes up clean and runs setup (wifi, gmail account, etc).
System downloads firmware update.
System reboots to install update
Android appears and runs for a few seconds
Mesages appear: CWM-based Recovery v5.5.04 roach-tf101-r2
Finding update package, opening update package, Verifying update package
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
At this point the TF still will not install zip from sd card since as you told me before I need a different recover and is not found by the PC with a naked driver.
However, the unit is functional.
Any other options to root and get a new recovery installed and finally a new ROM.
Note: the PC does see the TF if I am in the recovery. However, as soon as boot the TF and enable USB debug the TF us not seen.
To go back to totally stock including stock recovery, download and flash an official ROM from Asus website.

I have no problem doing that, but how do I do it if I cannot connect the TF to PC via USB or load a zip file via recovery? Both of these do not work!
Did you update cwm via ROM manager? That's the issue there, you can run Roach2010's fix to fix that.
If terminal emulator app works you can flash a downloaded and extracted
(through es file explorer) recoveryblob with
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot
Then you have working recovery and can either flash ROM or Stock.
Thanks for all the replies.
I finally got it working. It took me forever to understand that having a recovery that could only read from the internal memory was not a big deal. I created a folder on the internal sd and dropped in the zip for the external version of CWM . I rebooted and loaded the new restore and from then on I could load ROMs from my external uSD card. I am now happily running the latest version of Revolver.

[GUIDE] Videocon A55 HD Rooting and Recovery related stuff

Heya,
Since there is not enough info on the web regarding the rooting procedure for Videocon A55 HD and custom recovery for this awesomely smooth device, I'm uploading the necessary files and step by step guide. Hope it helps all the users of this device.
Remember rooting would tamper the warranty of the device and should be exercised carefully. The procedures mentioned below have been personally tested by me however I take no responsibility in case you ruin your device although I would be here to help you in such a scenario. Besides this the rooting script was not created by me and all the credit goes to the respective developer.
1. Rooting Procedure
Make sure you have enabled "USB Debugging" under Developer Options on your phone.
Keep your phone disconnected from computer via USB
a) Download and Install the ADB Interface driver for MTK 6589
Link to ADB Drivers
b) Download and extract the rooting package
Link to the Rooting Package
c) Now go to the extracted package and open a command prompt to that location as Administrator.
d) Type run.bat in Command Prompt and a message must appear "Press enter to root your phone..."
e) Press any key
f) Now after a few seconds the message should be " * daemon started successfully *"
g) Now connect your phone via USB to the computer
h) The cmd would automatically start pushing the necessary files onto your phone and when the process completes your phone will restart
Now you are rooted.To check install any Root checker application from playstore. Remember to grant permission while running Root Checker app when a pop up appears. It is suggested to update the SuperSU app from playstore and execute it at least once after that to update the su binary. You can also update the busybox package from playstore because busybox supplied with the rooting package is pretty old.
2. Installing CWM Recovery
Okie, since you are now rooted, most likely you would require a custom recovery to create full nandroid backups or test different ROMs. The CWM recovery provided here was created using MTKDroid Tools and is version 5.x (Non Touch). Again all credit goes to the developer of MTKDroid Tools for making such a powerful piece of software.
a) Download and extract the recovery package.
Link to CWM 5.x and Original Recovery for A55 HD
b) There are two files in the package , one is the custom CWM recovery and the other one is Stock Recovery (Names are pretty self understood)
c) Copy "Custom_Recovery_CWM_A55HD.img" to the root of your SD card
d) Rename it to "recovery.img"
e) Install Mobile Uncle Tools [MUT] from the playstore.
f) Open MUT and go to recovery update
g) Now you must see the recovery.img in a list. Just select it and follow the pop ups.
h) Now your phone would restart.
i) To check if the recovery update was successful, go to MUT and select "Reboot into Recovery" and your phone would most likely start in CWM recovery..
Alternative to get into recovery mode is to Press Power button + Volume Down key together when switched off.
3. Stock ROM for Videocon A55 HD
Okie, here we go, as I mentioned that I had got hold of the stock rom, so here I'm publishing it. The credit goes to Pratap Solunke (psolunke) for providing the Factory ROM zip.
I have just divided it into update.zip and files for SPFT for ease of downloading. Besides I have splitted each section into 4 parts and reuploaded it so you can download them at your ease. I'm providing the link for the whole folder which includes the changelog, update.zip and files for SPFT.
The ROM version is V7 (2013.07.15) which is different from the original ROM which was V5 (2013.06.08).
You can read the changelog for the updates in this ROM.
Link to ROM Folder
If using update.zip to flash this ROM, then
Step 1. Open the update.zip with winrar, Do not extract.
Step 2. Navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and extract this file only, then use "Notepad++" to open the file.Don't use default notepad.
Step 3. Delete assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "A55HD" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "A55HD");
Step 4. Save the file, put it back to the same location in archive (It will take some time to add to archive)..Done...then proceed as usual.
a) update.zip is for reinstalling Factory Image of the ROM from recovery mode. The zip file is signed.
b) Files for SPFT are to be used with SP Flash Tool and can be used in case your phone is bricked. Do not flash the preloader unless you know what you are doing.
c) To download the files just go to the respective folder and right click on each file and hit download. After all four parts are downloaded, extract Part 1 of the downloaded splitted files and the files would be ready to be used as is.
d) Keep all four parts of the splitted files in a single folder and do not rename the splitted files.
If you have any questions related to A55 HD you can ask them here and I would try to help you the best way I can.
I'm still testing some custom ROMS but none seem to work . So far I've tested LEWA OS and MIUI ROM for xiacoao G6 Youth. However I'll keep trying and update once I have a working Custom ROM.
One more project in mind is to port Custom ROMS to A55 HD if none is available as is on the web.
If anyone of you is able to find a working Custom ROM for A55 HD kindly post it here so that we can have a repository of successful and useless attempts. I'm sure it would help others.
Rooting procedure worked after two attempts. The device is rooted.
While trying to install CWM recovery, get a problem. Can not see custom recovery in MUT. Pasted on both SD cards, internal and external also.

I forgot to mention , rename the recovery image to "recovery.img" and then put it in root of SD card and it would get detected by MUT...It will get detected instantly...Thankyou for bringing it to notice...Just updating the post...
done but some observations!!!!
DONE.
Some observations:
1. In CWM, cant see internal SD card. While, after mounting usb storage, can see external SD card only. NOTE, CANT SEE INTERNAL SD CARD ONLY WHEN TRY TO MOUNT INTERNAL PHONE STORAGE IN CWM. WHILE NORMAL WORKING NO PROBLEM.
2. Deleted.
3. Deleted.
4. Deleted,
5. Deleted.
6. The font size of Stock and CWM recovery is very small still it can serve the purpose.
Do any body have original/stock update.zip from Company?
Updates:
I think I figured out the problem with touch. Uninstalled an application called "Go Power Master" and the touch is ok even after connecting USB or charger. Thanks man. The phone is working very nice after rooting.

Some observations:
1. In CWM, cant see internal SD card. While, after mounting usb storage, can see external SD card only.
2. After rooting, before even installing CWM, got some irratic behavior with touch. Like, while USB is connected, touch was not working as expected, it took long time to make USB storage active as after touching a specific required operation, like pulling down task bar it was doing something else like opening play store, opening game, or opening date and time settings. While unlocking lock screen, it was just opening any random phone application and is not even allowing to go back with back button or home button. Don't know this is related with what?
3. Irratic application were opening while touching different application but after removing USB, things were working better.
4. Rebooted in CWM and first tried to "fix permissions" to avoid that irratic touch behavior, thinking there was problem with permissions. Took nandroid back up, after fixing permissions. Wiped cache and dalvik cache and restarted.
5. Now, till now phone is not connected to PC with USB cable or connected to charging; it behaves better with touch but it is very troublesome to perform any operation after phone connected to PC with USB or to charger.
May be you have faced these issues or may not! Any suggested solution? Do any body have original/stock update.zip from Videocon?

For me the touch works without any problems...and as for detecting internal sd card...that also works flawlessly..i don't have the phone with me right now...Yesterday I was trying something and the nvram got corrupted [No baseband]...so right now it is resting at service center...Hope to get it next week...
One suggestion never install Carliv Touch Recovery on this phone...it messes with the baseband and display...Stick to this recovery until I build a more updated CWM...

Flashed modified update.zip from CWM and phone upgraded to version 15072013. To be strange it is showing v1.0 20130715 in build ie in about phone. All the applications were intact but lost root and also CWM recovery; then managed to root the phone and flash CWM with your fantastic guide.
After booting in CWM, wiped cache and dalvik cache(why? don't know). Phone is working nice. Thanks,

Nice...Yeah, people at Videocon forgot to change the version number i guess...and loss of root and cwm was due to restoring of system.img and recovery.img in the ROM file...so it's normal..
Besides one should always perform a clean install from CWM..i.e. Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik Cache, Format /system/ and then install ROMS..
And yes this ROM is a bit better then the one on phone..I received my phone today from service center and software was updated to this ROM..It felt much better .And the version was same , so this seems to be the latest ROM for A55 HD.. Enjoy
How to flash phone with sp flash tools
was trying to flash a recovery build on CWM site. I think it has spoiled baseband. No sim is getting detected. Any idea how to flash phone with SP tool? Don't have access to service station as am very far.
Edit: Managed to flash with SP tool. Used the files you have uploaded for SPFT. Selected all options and now phone is on and showing base band version, also sim are getting detected. The issue was preloader drivers for windows 8 which managed to install by disabling driver signature verification. Device rooted and installation of CWM through MUT was successful. Thanks.
Try this and this. Its as good as custom rom installation works very well with MTK6589

You must understand that the recovery partition is of 6 mb....and most likely the recovery you received from CWM online builder was more than 6 mb..hence your secro.img was also overwritten...hence the problems with baseband and imei....same thing happened with me 7 days back when I had to submit my phone to Service center. Unfortunately i didn't had the flash image then but it is good to know that it can also recover baseband and imei. And congrats for recovering your phone and I'm glad my contribution helps you...
Just remember one thing...if the boot, recovery,secro partitions are of more than 6mb then don't flash them as they would mess one thing or other...and hopefully you had disabled preloader in SPFT.....if not then from next time onwards please do it....because rarely you need to flash preloader...and a wrong flash can make your device a brick which can only be recovered by Test points.Hence never flash preloader until unless you know what you are doing.....And yes, I already use Gravity Box along with Xposed Framework...Great mod...Besides them I also use xhalofloatingwindow with bubble launcher and lwinrecent ...Both are xposed modules and work as expected.I also have init.d support which allows to make boot persistent changes on device....Along with that a few build.prop tweaks that take my ROM to the custom level...Let me know if you need any of this...
Please
Thanks for preloader advise. was not that much aware and will take care next time. Please share init.d support, build.prop tweaks and their usefulness.
For init.d, use term-init by ryuinferno.

Which other phones has MTK6589 and same config ?
Tell me model number and brand, i will try to upload stock firmware.
it will help us built custom rom with custom features.
@anuj - Anyways if it brick again and need to send service center, please text me imei and location, i will make it done fast for you dear.:fingers-crossed:
Thank you Pratap bro. I'll let you know next time if I get to the point where I need to go to service center but I'm sure that with the ROM you provided I wouldn't need to go to one. And yes people you can ask for stock ROM from Pratap. He has excellent connections and can get you at least the Videocon ROM and may be others . Don't forget to thank him. Besides he is an excellent person who wouldn't shy away from helping you if he can. Ciao Pratap brother.

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

not making a backup of original system and not cheking the firmware was the same as the root guide,
On the top of recovery screen is :- 2.8.7.7 SevenMaxs and TeamWin Recovery Project, I guess this could
be an expensive lesson, I have been looking for an original ROM with no luck so any help would be very
much appreciated, Thanks pluto1956, Mike

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.

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.

the rom which you downloaded should be in zip format, unzip it, there is a file download_with_partiotion.bat.
run it and sit back until it is finished.

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!

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.

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?

[Tutorial] Flash Stock System Image on Vowney Lite

I bricked my device last week with a stupid flash, and since then I've been looking for a solution flash the stock ROM back on it, and finally here is what I found! :victory:
It will overwrite your system, not the kernel, but I hope you did not touch that, it worked for me.
Requirements:
-Vowney Lite (bricked for more fun)
-SP flash tool, download here: https://mega.nz/#!uEtxzSqY!pKLnobqUsrELE8VtTQRYIMwSlCAcrcDdix-avGvwqv4
-MT6795 Scatter File, download here: https://mega.nz/#!xE0QSS4D!avdr3ARS5cIiwEU4iK8stLVFHiiUeGFYVwg3ndwWJEE
-My system image dump, download here: https://mega.nz/#!FVVhnJzC!r72wbSVdZrwp1NnPhTC2Qz9fmffJBIQMMNbbisJMndQ
-MTK preloader drivers installed, tutorial here: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-71-1-1.html#.VstQKvHhChc
1. Turn off your device (probably done )
2. Launch SP flash tools
3. Load the scatter file you downloaded
4. Uncheck everything, then check system
5. In the location section of the system, find the system.img you downloaded
6. Click on Download
7. Plug your device
8. When the green check appears, quit SPFT
9. Boot in recovery mode, with power + volume up
10. Wipe Cache then Wipe Data
11. Reboot :fingers-crossed:
In the image system I dumped from my phone you will get root permission with SuperSU, Cerberus Anti theft as a System App (call 2356 for settings), and few of my settings, like faster animations in developper options etc
Tell me if you find out anything else.
Hi Luxumbra! Me again
Phone was messing around yesterday and not opening any apps/crashing, so thought i'd just do a stock flash.
I followed all the steps, however I couldn't get the preloader drivers on my computer. Im runnning windows 7 and when I head to device manager, I only have "MTP USB Device" and then subsequently trying to update the drivers shows up with "WIndows has determined the driver software is up to date".
I figured out that the problem was a corrupted microSD card, however I did unroot in the process and would like to flash your provided system image on! Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks, I followed the steps and unbricked my Vowney. In addition to checking System in step 4, I also checked Boot. The phone is up and running.
Thanks again!
Happy to help aLmoravado
