Hello. I have e8 version with single sim bought in China. I have to reflash the mobile phone because of the firmware in it with only English and Chinese. First I unlocked the bootloader and put TWRP. Then I reflashed the mobile with Oweida version 1.1.0. Firmware asked me standard questions, said that everything is in order and sent the mobile to reboot. After reboot I got a brick, not the reflashed mobile. The phone does not respond to button presses, it is not visible when connected to a computer. Steady HTC saver is on. My question is the following - is there any way to make it alive? Thank you.
I got Sprint E8 model and also bricked. Originally I thought I messed up with system/recovery so it will boot loop to fastboot screen all the time. However, after flash original RUU (either RUU tool or fastboot command method), it still boot to fastboot screen directly. Anybody have any suggestion or can probably help to resolve this issue? I believe my system/recovery has recovered, only I'm not able to boot to the OS normally.
Thanks a bunch!
If you can flash TWRP recovery and ask friend that have clean TWRP Backup you can restore again.

Thanks ian.anindya. I can flash TWRP but I don't think I can find anyone for its restore data.. Sigh..
Please do nandroid Backup or TWRP Backup before you do modification on your phone. This should be standard procedure to everyone.
Have you do wipe cache after update your rom? Sometime wipe cache could solve the problem.
Also, you can try contact pm with friend here that bring sprint model and favor to make clean Backup to share with you.

Sooo. My bootloader is unlocked, the phone was rooted and I had installed cwm recovery.
I wanted to flash CM11 so I "wiped: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data & /media".
Now I can only get into fastboot the phone just freezes at boot logo? I have left for 10-15 mins. Please could someone advise how best to proceed.
I did have a backup of my rom using ROM manager.

hello all, I'm a noobie. I'd very much appreciate any help... I want to backup my rom . no custom rom is installed, yet.
I'm rooted. have trwp on sprint samsung s5. build number kot49h.g900pvpu1ane5 .
I boot manually to recovery. the green android drops dead with a (!).
the choices are:
reboot device now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cach partition
apply update from cache
no option for backing up. any guidance would be helpful. thanks,
hal
That sounds like stock recovery. You need to get a custom recovery on there. You said you have twrp, how did you try to install it?

Thanks for responding. I used TWRP manager root when I tried to install twrp recovery. But I never actually booted into twrp.
I have philz_touch_6.41.6-klte
Will it work, and if so, how do I install it?
Have you ever used Odin? That's the best way.

Philz has been the most reliable for backup and restore.

Root Sprint S5....Step-by-Step

here's what I did to get to where I was when I started the thread:
1. followed instructions in the qbking video that's mentioned in the step-by-step root thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2737724
2. that method uses odin. it seems to have worked. I verified root using root checker basic.
3. installed TWRP manager root.
4. could not boot into recovery using twrp manager or manually. could not back up to ext sd card from twrp mangr. . applied nextapp kitkat sd card fix.
5. using titanium root, backed up apps and data to external sd. no problem.
6. changed ext storage in twrp manager to ext sd. still won't back up rom to ext sd. tried "live backup" with changed storage location to ext sd. nope, the backup went into internal storage.
I am still rooted. can I switch from twrp to phiz? how would I do that? thanks for any help.
I never use 'manager' apps, I don't trust them. You can switch recoveries anytime you want to. I would use Odin since you can't get to recovery. Do you have the recovery tar file for Odin?

I'm not sure that answers your question. if not, please clarify, and I'll try again
That doesn't install your recovery. Download Philz from the link I posted.

Hi, Yesterday I decided to install a custom rom, but I did not like it that well and I decided to go back, but my phone wont start anymore i get in a bootloop someone can give my the right instructions to go back to stock. I can acces cunstom recovery

Hello everyone!
So my friend tried to downgrade his phone from 9.0, to 8.0 and he messed up somewhere so now he's stuck with bricked phone. I think it is soft bricked because i can boot to recovery and to bootloader. I tried to reflash his phone with odin, but i end up with an error something in the lines of write operation failed. Also tried like 3 or 4 diffrent stock roms, nothing worked out.
What i know about the phone:
* Its samsung A8 (SM-A530f/DS)
* OEM lock is still on.
* Debug mode is off (the one in android settings)
* Recovery is still stock (tried to flash TWRP got the same error)
* ADB and fastboot does not pick up the device
* I can boot to the recovery and bootloader (Download mode)
Thank you guys in advance!

So you tried to down grade to 8 with Odin?
What what exactly did you try to flash?
I didnt try to flash it, my friend did that, and i took his phone to fix it. So i dont know what he did, he asked me to fix it and thats what i know. As he said to me he used odin to flash an older stock rom, and he messed up somewhere so the phone is bricked now.
