Hi All,
I just rooted the Android Note N9000 (i9220) but wanted to install some custom apk in sys\app folder to change the look and feel. I was able to this at a great extent using TouchWiz apk and all looked good until i went ahead and decided to change the browser apk in the sys\app folder.
I went ahead and downloaded the browser apk from online and then renamed the old browser.apk file as browserold.apk and this is were the phone started alerting to stop some application and after that phone rebooted.
Once it rebooted it does not go beyond the "Logo" screen and it keeps flashing that so went ahead and tried few of this options but no luck,
Recovery mode - Unfortunately i did not do any back-up and cleaned partitioned and cache but unable to do anything beyond that?
I do not have Custom Recovery Mod also with me so no much luck there also
I tried connecting to PC but the phone recognizes in Control Panel of Windows 7 but the drive is not available to install any file...
Please help!!!!! Need to get this phone back to normal asap.
Regards

I would recommend to go on one from known brands and not to deal with bull****!
Sad to be said you need to flash with the original firmware again with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1206.01. By the way how do you root this phone N9000??
Can you help me root with what method??
did u use TPSparkyRoot??

Hi murtuzainab,
Hope you were able to fix the problem with your device? However, I do need an assistance from you, I use the same device Android Note N9000 i9220 and would love you to teach me how to root it. Please note I'm a newbie to Android so pls try to be as detailed as possible.
Many thanks,
Ayodele

Hello all android experts superior to me. I am just a simpleton right now but I am hoping I can learn how to feed myself over time and actually contribute something back to this developer community. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
*Yes I have already read every single thread for my device and not been able to find a clear solution without risking bricking my phone.
*The video asked to be brief but clear. I was not brief, but clear.
*
I am a noob and I am very interested in learning how to mod my Android Samsung Galaxy 3 i9305 (details).
Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Hong Kong Version
Model number:GT-19305
Android version: 4.1 .1
Baseband version: 19305ZHALl1
Kernel version
3.0.31-177985
**
I have spent about 20 hours of research and got conflicting results.
I am looking to do the following things (in order) and I would deeply appreciate any specific instructions (with specific device only and complete software file names and versions please) any of you might help.
1) Root the phone
2) Install the ODIN application on a PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit) so I can actually back up my device to an external PC. I am amenable to using the mobile ODIN program offered but I need to know what specific ODIN application will work for the device. *Note yes my KIES drivers installed for USB to PC connection working fine and will turn off KIES when using ODIN
3) Install CWM or something similar so that I can copy my own device ROM and save it for back ups in case I lose my phone or wifey smashes it.
4) Use CWM or SU program of some sort so I can flash my own backup ROM for backups AND try out other people’s custom ROM’s.
5) Find or build a custom ROM that is devoid of bloatware and google extras.
*
Only component I need to retain is to be able to use the Samsung Chinese IME supplied keyboard since I need to read and type Chinese characters in pinyin.
*
Thanks for listening and sorry for being such a dullard, didn’t know how else to start out learning this. I am very interested in learning more and would appreciate any reading suggestions you might offer.
:cyclops:
Nice work, Some people flash there phones before reading everything properly and brick there devices, But you did a very good move by doing NOTHING untill 100% sure. Because of this thread and my instructions bellow I decided create a thread (What to do after you buy the 4G S3) Either go there or just keep reading on here.......
So before you flash anything, or start playing with your gem, follow these important steps below to get all the important parts backed up and safe, so that you will not have to return your device back to samsung broken. Believe me I have seen it happen PLENTY of times in this forum, so read carefully
Make sure you have a Good USB cable and a stable PC and that don't get any power outages or surges, you dont want to be half way through something and you loosing power or bad connection.
1st: Install Samsung Kies on your PC this will then Install the Samsung USB drivers you will need to connect your device to your PC OR you can get the samsung drivers on there own from the Link in 2nd step, but I recommend you install kies as it may be useful to you in the future.
2nd: Now as your IMEI number is like the heart of your device lets back it up right now: Follow only part of these steps in this link, you will finish the rest of the backups at the end when your rooted. I have copied and bolded the parts you will need to do right now, once finished this section of the backup you should be left with a *.qcn file which is roughly around 250kb of size.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33048706&postcount=1
*Setting up QPST with your PC:*
*Backing Up IMEI / NV Data:*
*Restore USB Settings after Backup / Restore:*
Now keep that page open because you will return here in step 6 once you are rooted to complete the backup process.
3rd: Now Install Odin V3.04 - You can get the link for odin in the 4th step link, So you may aswell just continue on to 4th step as the instructions inside that link advice you to install Odin aswell.
4th: Now you must Root your device and install CWM recovery , Follow these steps carefully > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1
5th: Once you have root I recommend you instantly make a full backup of your device also known as a Nandroid backup. You must go into recovery mode to do this with the CWM recovery you have just installed in 4th step above.
6th Now lets finish the backup process since we are now rooted, I am going to say this again, this is VERY important incase something goes wrong and you loose your Imei and Data, you need to back it all up. By doing this it will save you returning your device back to samsung like many have done previously because they have not done this, Remember where you left off in 2nd step above? Well now you can go back and complete the partition backup of the efs folders. You should be left with 4 backup files for this final section of the backup process >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33048706&postcount=1
--------====FINISHED====--------
Congratulations you now have your Imei/Nv data backed up , You are rooted and Nandroided. Now you can play around but off-course DO NOT be reckless make sure you know what you are playing with
Peace
PS: Only trust what you see in this I9305 XDA forum, as i have been following the device from day one and I can only recommend the information you see here.
I appreciate your altitude of ask before risking.
Well, I'd give you process & advices for your question.

You inverted step 1 and 2.
1st: Either -
a) Install Samsung Kies from the enclosed disc / Samsung's site
OR
b) Install the SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device Driver (Google it Yourself)
2nd: Download Odin (from CF-Auto-Root thread)
3rd: Root by
a) Install CWM -> Root
e.g. ClockworkMod 6.0.1.5 and SuperSU zip package;
b) Root -> Install CWM
Install pre-rooted Firmware / CF-Auto-Root then install CWM from above
4th: Better backup your ROM and /efs (IMEI data and etc.)

In fact, you just RESTORE backup not flash one. They work differently.
You can flash ROM zips in CWM or Mobile Odin by ChainFire and Odin tars in Odin or Mobile Odin

Well, there isn't any AOSP ROMs (Android Open Source Project, which developers build directly from source code) yet, but only modified stock ROMs.

You could try some other replacements like Go Keyboard.
If you still get questions fell free to ask me even in Chinese (not in thread but PM me)
Seems like someone did not read the thread before postin instructi0ns again, lol . But. Anyways i gues it does not hurt having more instructions, well my instructions is exactly the way i did my phone. It was done in those steps and i am sure its clear for you. Pick and just follow 1 set of instructions d0 not confuse yourself by lo0king at 2 sets of instructions as it is a different way shown in the last post.

Nice guide however I would recommend step 5 to be the first thing to do after installing the drivers as EFS area is very important.

I've done back up you detail but can't do the other until rooted? Is this correct
Thanks Liyriquid. I thought you needed root to do the QCN as i did when i was rooted but since you dont have to that is the best idea. To the OP >>>>>>>>>>>>> I HAVE NOW EDITED MY INSTRUCTION POST.
Please Note that you will ONLY be able to dp the QPST Tool QCN backup before you are rooted but to complete he partition backup you will need to be rooted. So just follow my steps i have broke up the steps for you easily to figure out
Edit: My guide should be the first thing people look at after buying this phone and start playing with it, as it links you to the most important guides and steps you need to take to keep it backed up and safe
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
A big thanks to btemtd for putting this easy to read guide together.
Also thanks go out to lyriquidperfection for the initial guide on backing up the EFS.
I have only had my S3 for a few days now and am keen to try a few different ROMs out on it. I also have an original Galaxy S that I have been trying out many different roms on for the last two years I have had it. Had a lot of fun doing so, and look forward to the same now with the S3. Can't wait to get Odin fired up and CWM installed. Let the fun begin !
I am thinking it may be a good idea for that instruction to have a thread on its own,
Is there any chance of it bricking my device when installing Cwm and leaving on me unable to get my imei details stored?
Also is a nandroid backup a complete backup image of my firmware as I'm not quite sure what this is a and why I need it.
Thanks

Hi guys. I'm considering the 9305 but I have a question.
Can you install any 9300-ROM on the 9305? Kernel and baseband aside, of course.
Or do all (great) ROMs need to be recompiled for the 9305? It the same Exynos 4412 in the bottom, should work to flash most 9300-ROMs?
Thanks.
Yes it should not be too hard to port over, You just need to abit of fiddling around, A noob wont be able to do it, but someone who knows what they are doing should be able to do it easily You just need to change the updater script as the partition location has changed so you just have to tell the rom installer where you want it to install. which is what the updater script.
Kernel + and base firmware need to be changed. I just dont understand why more expereinced people have not done this yet, i guess they dont really care about roms

I really cant see how you can brick your device if you follow those steps VERY carefully as this is what i have done and most of us on here, and make sure you have Good usb cable and stable PC and don't get any power outages or surges

I don't think it will brick your device. Recovery partition is a relatively safe one compare to /boot, however it may happen.
It won't break your /efs except you flashed CWM over efs partition and overwrite your IMEI.
Nandroid is a complete backup of your phone. It's useful because you can recover your Android if you did made something wrong.
You may better think Nandroid is a kind of 'snapshot' of you phone.
Soon I will show you all how to make your own pre-rooted Odin packages!

Hi There,
I am in a crisis situation here. I have owned this Karbonn A1+ for about 10 months now. Never attempted anything as I dont use it majorly. Recently I rooted it with Z4root. It was successfull.
Later as i was going through the forums about Karbonn, found that there is a custom ROM (Xperia ROM) for it and hence went ahead in trying the same. Since then, the phone will not go beyond the Karboon Logo. I tried various methods by trying to flash the stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279278
Even that didnt help. Screen is stuck at checking Baudrate but does nothings even after 30 min and I still have Karbonn logo on phone. then I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405153
When I tried that the phone goes beyond the logo and gives a white screen and thats it. when i press the power button the screen goes off and on. so i am guessing the phone booted to OS but not giving me any thing to work on.
Meantime I learned how to create custom ROM. I built one but even that doesnt help as I am again stuck at the Karbonn Logo.
Presently I am able to go to CWM ver 6.0.3
The phones H/W ver is 4.0.0 and the S/W version is 1.0.6
Can somebody help me with the flashable version of Stock Rom or the Backup....
Sorry for a Verbose thread, I tried to be as clear as I can....

All you have to do (given your situation) is perform a complete wipe (using a custom recovery: in your case, CWM) before trying to install anything. Remember, you need to install the specified/correct Kernel to work with a given ROM.

Thanks for the reply. However I am well aware of wiping data before installing, and the same was done before trying the Xperia ROM. Presently I am in need of a Flash-able stock ROM or Custom ROM or even a backup that will work with the hardware and software versions I have....

Well, I hope you find what you are looking for. But I can say, after downloading the Xperia ROM for your device, I wasn't able to find a Kernel in it.

some questions.
can you still boot to recovery?
did you took complete backup before messing with it (using cwm)?
what is h/w and s/w version IN the phone and behind your mobile battery?

Hi Jay, My apologies if my previous statement sounded like a teenager. this thing is just driving me crazy as i never had any issues with other phones. i have rooted Motorola, samsung, htc and never faced any issues like this.
what you are saying about kernal totally makes sense, however i was under the impression that boot.img may contain this already and tried putting that file in the ROM and flashed it when it didnt work for first time. which again didnt help much. if you know how kernals works. Please tell me what to look for in them....

The problem is not on your behalf mate; it's just that the ROM you obtained didn't come with all the necessary/correct files. I also presume Karbonn is not a very big company (I've personally never heard of it), and it's immediately obvious that there are not many developers that are working on this device - probably why you can't find any proper ROMs, kernels etc.
I guess I'm not really helping you in any way and I'm sorry about that - I don't know of any ROMs or kernels for your device. When I first replied to your thread, I was under the impression that you had that covered. However, I can say, loosely, that there are two main types of kernels - one type for proprietary OEM ROMs, and the other type for AOSP ROMs. Most custom ROMs are based on AOSP (I am under the impression that the ROM you obtained is too), so OEM kernels will not work these ROMs. I really hope this helps, in the future at least, if not now.
Hi Max, any update?

I had a link of your solutions but its not working.
you should search for your backup if it is successfully done.
because your sw version is 1.0.6 and xperia rom is based on 2.0.2.
so the your old kernel is not accepting new rom.
so you should try link given by zerocool.( I was going to provide you the same link)
Its best rom until now. I have no issues with it. Just replace the kernel and bootloader to your kernel from your nandroid backup.
But since you dont have one, you should try it whole as it is.

Hi Jay, thanks for following up :good:
There is nothing left to extract from your phone since you have flashed everything from that backup rom. :banghead:
Now there is only one way to search for older roms, extract bootloader and kernel, replace in that rom and try to restore.
You can start from google.
There are some old files in karbonn a1+ wiki post, you can try them.
Also dont forget to replace recovery file to your working cwm recovery.

Hi There,
I am in a crisis situation here. I have owned this Karbonn A1 for about 10 months now. Never attempted anything as I dont use it majorly. Recently I rooted it with Z4root. It was successfull.
Later as i was going through the forums about Karbonn, found that there is a custom ROM (Xperia ROM) for it and hence went ahead in trying the same. Since then, the phone will not go beyond the Karboon Logo. I tried various methods by trying to flash the stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279278
Even that didnt help. Screen is stuck at checking Baudrate but does nothings even after 30 min and I still have Karbonn logo on phone. then I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405153
When I tried that the phone goes beyond the logo and gives a white screen and thats it. when i press the power button the screen goes off and on. so i am guessing the phone booted to OS but not giving me any thing to work on.
Meantime I learned how to create custom ROM. I built one but even that doesnt help as I am again stuck at the Karbonn Logo.
Presently I am able to go to CWM ver 6.0.3
The phones H/W ver is 4.0.0 and the S/W version is 1.0.6
Can somebody help me with the flashable version of Stock Rom or the Backup....
Sorry for a Verbose thread, I tried to be as clear as I can....

Hello friends.
I'm a medium level user of android.
I will tell my problem hoping you give a solution to me.
First of all, I could finally root my phone.
It's an Alcatel 4010a It's a MT6575 device.
When I tried to flash a CWM recovery IMG with Mobileuncle, the phone were stucked on Logo Brand when I tried to boot in recovery mode.
It was damaged, but It was just the recovery, 'cause when I booted normally, it did work.
I have two phones, just the same model. The other one is working fine so I made a Backup with MTKDroid Tools.
Then I processed the backup for SP Flashtool.
When I tried to flash just the recovery by selecting the scatter file generated by MTKDroid Tools. And just select recovery.
The download finished OK but after that the phone doesn't turn on. Just there a light when I try to turning it on.
So I decided to flash the completed backup ROM, but It's imposible.
When I use 2 differente versions of SP Flashtool I get 2 differents erros.
1: S_DA_UPDATE_BOOTLOADER_FILE_SIZE_EXCEEDS_BOUNDARY_ADDR (3142)
2: ERROR (8038) Pleas use FIRMWARE UPGRADE instead of download.
Woul you help with this issue?
If you need more information in order to help I will be pleased to give it to you.
Sorry about my english, I'm Salvadorean.
I have same problem with you, can you pleas upload your backup rom. i want to try to restore it to my phone.
Hi guys, I'm new here but, have you tried to restore the Stock ROM with OneTouchUpgrade for T'Pop
I rooted the phone with IsujashiRoot, but it seems to cause a problem with the camera (it doesn`t works) so I decided to start again the process and I've found this program
Search in the Alcatel page of your country for the program and when you found your device tap in support (in my case I'm mexican... yeah, that's why my english actually sucks) :silly:
Anyway, I hope this works for you guys :fingers-crossed:

you can fix this problem by going to google and searching alcatel one touch and then go to their website, look for your phone and download the upgrade tool, your phone should be unbricked and fully functional after re-installing the firmware
hello friend¡
i have the same problem but the solution is use the ONE TOUCH UPGRADE¡
the problem of the cwm is the same i hava a alcatel ot 4010a and i tried a intall the cwm with mobile uncle tools¡ and my phone dot not enter in the cwm. but i dont know i think that the cwm is only for 4010x o other verisons but not for the 4010a.
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 ?
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
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.
found this for stock rom installation incase something goes wrong http://giveawaytricks.in/install-stock-rom-on-lyf-wind-1-lyf-ls-5010/

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.
