Flashing samsung omnia w

Can any one put a step by step guide to flash Samsumng Omnia W?

There is a lot of webpages like TSAR300 but flash Omnia W i8350 isn't possible to flash, I searched a lot and I think that never will happen.
The downloader (flash tool) doesn't work maybe because of bootloader theres no applications like MAGLDR to do it (Watch here).
So... Omnia W owners need to wait or simple forget flash.
DFT never told if they are working on a custom ROM
If there is a possibility to flash the mobile you need to have a box like this
Best Regards

Oh, I guarantee you there's a way to flash stock ROMs; that's more-or-less mandatory (you don't think they cut the silicon with the ROM already in it, did you?) The problem is that we don't have the tool. Samsung changed a significant amount of their phones' firmware and bootloader between gen1 and gen2.
Flashing custom ROMs, which requires an unlocked bootloader (see MAGLDR or xSPL), will have to wait until a way is found to replace or modify the stock bootloader... which might also require finding a flashing tool that works, but might not.

WTF?

oh that is not a good news..any way we will hope for the best

There's a Brazilian site with a i677 flash it's the same as Omnia W and there is a ROM that they confirm that is working. I have the tutorial and the ROM extension it's .smd and isn't .nb0 and they say that works... I don't know if is true because we need to pay for download, if anyone want it to try... just replay here after.
Anyone here can create a ROM 7720 in .smd ?
Tutorial With Downloader v3.8 Working
I677_OPEN_ZVVKJ9
I677_OPEN_ZTOKL1
I don't Know if any of those work with jailbreak method

No dont want to pay until someone can confirm any secure method.

Brazilian Theread Link confirm that the ROM is working.
The Last reply of zipikiki google translate the word CLARO to of course but ignore the of course word because CLARO is the name of a Brazilian operator

guy's i think exodusrasta made an awesome discovery becouse with this method we can downgrade or change firmware as we like, the problem is find the firmware for this phone, probably move this topic to devlopment forum would help alot. anyone in this forum tested this method?
my 2 cents

An improvement!
This is definitely a good find. A step improvement towards flashing Omnia W. Anyone please get the SMD file mentioned int he paid links and share if possible. The site charges approx. 50 USD for this SMD firmware file.

Comparisson
A good comparison here. But 1677 has not indication of chipset. But they are almost identical. Aesthetically and most aspects. But We have to be sure of the chipset.
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4159&idPhone2=4200

Guys!! both omnia w & i677 are same,
need a proof???just open the back battery cover of omnia w and you can see both the names printed in the inner side of battery cover (text is small in white but visible)
so pls its same n try to find the idea to flash or interop unlock to omnia w

The only firwmare in .smd extension that I found it's the i677 from brasilian site and the user that use it confirms that work 100%
I try to bought but the site just accept paypal (in the case of non-brasilian users), but i don't have a paypal acount. If someone get it and had feer to try it out, just share the file and I try it. Or someone buy it and we could share the price by bank transfer

did anyone find out somthing???
does that method work???
there is now .smd files on any firmware server for omnia w

I try to pay by bank transfer is +- 20€ but they had a restricts accounts
We need to had a CEP and a CPF (Brazilian zip code and ID) and then it is impossible to pay. I'm in contact with the administrator to try a solution.
In a near future I will try the file and I will tell here if it works.
There is two sites with the ROM
Link nrº 1
Link nrº 2
If someone try and succeed just say something.

Is someone working on a custom unlocked rom or not?
I was just waiting to install homebrew apps on my omnia W, but it seems as if no one is working towards unlocking the device on the least.
At least I could not find any updates regarding this?

Is there anyway to to go stock android but 4.3 so I can use android wear ? If you need more info, hopefully I can supply that when I get my phone tomorrow.
Ok phone arrived.. the CPU is a MT6582/8382.
Camera is terrible and phone took over 5 hours to charge. Hoping I can get a stock 4.3 or higher android on this.
Thanks

Check Needrom.com, will have to create an account to download a rom (I think). I found the right Rom for my v77_55hd. If you can run your device, install Aida64 and run it, look under "Android" it will tell you all you need to know, you need to know the Build ID, and that is shown there. It will be something like ALPS.JB5.MP.V1.21, don't download any ROM that is not for that specific Build., Also pay attention to the kernel version, if any of that does not match, then it is not the right ROM- You can try it, but you might get a black screen.
I just found this one today, but it is not the same one I used. The one I had found seems to be gone. I used this one, which has a video, it's the Rom made by s7yler, and it works well. Hope this helps. Ah - Here is S7yler's ROM for my device, it's prerooted and everything.
I have mine all set up, but I need to know how to get my Sprint SIM card working, if possible. I tried cloning the IMEI from another device, but the SIM locked. Not sure if I'm doing it right.

Lenovo A616 - Custom ROMs, similar model ?

Hi,
I just got a Lenovo A616 as gift. It has the latest firmware (A616_S023_150110).
The phone itself says it has a MediaTek MT6752
4x ARM Cortex-A53 (32-bit ARMv7
GPU Renderer Mali-T760
As it does not seem that there is a sub-forum for these and I only stumbled across a guy that isnt able to root his device
and one ROM on another site :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-root-lenovo-a616-t3254634
http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-a616-2/
I wanted to know if there is any similarity to other lenovo phones regarding custom roms...or if I shall instantly forget about this phone ? :silly:
I really like this phone, except for the very bad camera and many apps/games force closing for no reason (maybe 512mb is no longer enough)
I like the additonal "security features" and the overall design of VIBE UI.
Even the built-in "ROM recovery" (which wont download a ROM) mentions rooting and recovery...but I cant find custom ROMs and the chinese forums only revealed there is VIBUE UI 3.0 now.
I would really like to try rooting and custom ROMS, or at least know if VIBE UI 2.7.176 will be updated to the new 3.0 or if this phone will recieve Android 5.0 (its not enlisted in the lenovo upgrade matrix anyway?)
But again, I cant find much about this device.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I do now it uses "VIBE UI" (bbs.vibeui.com)
I read on the chinese lenovo forum, that "VIBE UI 3.0" got announced.
As there is not much to find about these phones, a video from youtube about "VIBE UI 2.0" had the lockscreen image of the hot-air-ballon
which my phone has as well. So I might have UI 2.0. (?)
Anyone with any idea how to check which VIBE UI is currently installed on my phone and if there are attempts on putting newer UIs to older phones ?
I start to like this phone, with all its additonal features and security options...if just the camera wouldnt be a 320x240 one, calling itself 5 MP
Im pretty aware that the A616 isnt the most powerfull phone, but similar phones get the VIBE UI 3.0 upgrade and
will recieve lollipop according to Lenovos upgrade matrix.
And even if many ppl arent happy with the lollipop update on the lenovo forums...I wonder why I cant find any infos reagarding UI 3.0
or lollipop for the A616. It got release din dec. 2014 and I cant find much...
Also I cant find the malaysian / chinese upgrade matrix.
p.s.
Recovery works VolUp+Power
Why do chinese recovery look so...different ? ;D

needrom.com
Has anybody tried the rom of this phone available in the site needrom.com?

I have also found that 2 ROMs, but comments arent 100% positive or questions only.
But the tool seems to be ready for various MTK chp based china mobile phones :
SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
http://androidurdu.net/flash-china-phone-mtk-multi-port-flash-tool/
Still, those 2 ROMs are based on the original ROM, dont have gapps and compass(?)..and Im not sure what the difference would be.

The email [email protected] is no longer working (?) (5.1.1 User unknown)
Anyone knows who else I could contact at lenovo about this matter ?

Probably not related to xda at all...anyone registered there already ? Is it safe ?
http://myanmarxda.com/index.php?topic=1753.0
The phone itself says it has a MT6752
4x ARM Cortex-A53 (32-bit ARMv7
GPU Renderer Mali-T760
Now I read there is a "chinese phone root app" and people having problems with it and getting CWM run...as there is no real (complete) tutorial...(?)

needrom.com working
There are two A616 roms at needrom.com
I've flashed the gapps one. Everything working fine except the following:
In my case, the big big big problem is the f***ing Lenovo bloatware (even keyloggers)
That slows down the phone a lot.

Thank you for the information !
Too bad
Which app did you use to root your phone ? Did you install CWM ?

I have a Lenovo A5800-d that can be flashed with the A616-rom that needrom offers. But I cannot get Imei recovered. so it is useless. I have a chinese rom found on baidu for my phone. It is rooted and working smooth, but I cannot get playstore working on it. That is a kind of a problem. With help of titanium backup, I can get most of my apps in english or dutch and imei is ok. But I cannot use google services like agenda updates.
Perhaps that chinese rom works for you. It is called A5800-d_S022_Root.
Is there someone who knows a solution for my playstore-problem?

Thank you i had a problem while flashing twrp on my moto g3 xt1550
The error shows as
<bootloader> has-slot:recovery: not found
Error: cannot load 'recovery. Img'
Please help me to get out if this thank you

Can you show us command which you used? To flash twrp you should do:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Remember to rename downloaded image to twrp

Yess i used the same command but i renamed it by recovery. Img
Is there nything i went wrong in process?
Code used. - fastboot flash recovery recovery. Img

Why do you have space between recovery and img? Download image file, rename it only to twrp and flash it by using command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I tried but its showing the same problem
But the name is changed to twrp.img
The lines r same exvept the file name
<bootloader> has-slot:recovery: not found
Error: cannot load 'twrp.img'

Do you have image file in adb driver folder? And important question, did you unlock bootloader?

Yes both done already

Is your operating system hiding the extension name, so twrp.img is becoming twrp.img.img?
Open command window on the folder (or navigate into it) and type(according to the operating system)-
Linux- ls
Windows- dir
And check the output.
It seems like basic thing, a bit nooby but can actually help.
Also if you have windows, verify that the icon of the file has a disc.

Yeah, sorry, i haven't a clue what you just said.

i mean the firmware which i have now on which m unable to flash is d same and all the builds n all are same which the link of firmware is
Still should i apply new firmware?

I would.. It couldn't hurt.
It's possible the file you have now is corrupted. So yeah, grab a new copy, even if it's just to eliminate that as the cause of your problem. If you can get into stock recovery., do a full factory reset before you flash the image. If it installs just fine, reboot to system. and let the android OS load completely before you do anything else (like root or flash TWRP).
Cheers x

P. S i dint tell but i had tried to flash once in dec'15 wen something went wrong n my kernel crashed and i had to give to service center where he i gues installed new firmware so after dat i tried n it isnt happening so is there anything creepy over this point?

Question Bounty$100 .. Convert Honor magic vs chinese to global

Hi , Supposedly i bought a new fold phone. Tired of samsung monopoly and big fan of mate 20x , i went for magic vs. I got duped by alibaba seller as he stated that he will install global rom ie MagicOs 7.1 bt phone is still on magic OS 7. (android 12)
So anybody who can actually help me convert it to global are welcome. I got it done earlier for my mate 20x but this time honor magic os is still based on huawei's harmony os and its impossible to get proper google integration.
Also i read its easy to root any snapdragon phone with some method(lost post link)
But when i used to do this earlier it was never possible without unlocking bootloader and to the best of my knowledge honor and huawei no longer provide those.
If nothing comes out., i would have to take things into my own hands. Guys please advice me if its possible to root and if yes, are there any guides to port twrp. Also i remember earlier there used to be things like android kitchen, whats new recently. All advices are welcome. People help!!
Apart from this, mods please feel free to move this to appropriate section.

I have the exact same problem. Got a brand new Honor Magic Vs Chinese version, running MagicOS 7.0 & Android 12 . Great hardware, but can't have Google suite put on properly unless upgrade the system to MagicOS 7.1 with Android 13. While there's quasi solutions to use Google apps, via Gspace or others, it's just not the solid experience unless the Google Services Framework can be put on properly. Can't find a way to upgrade the system software still.

wait, magicOS china has gapps on android 13? I'd be interested in buying a chinese honor as well. anyways, this might be what you are searching for I think (if I got the model right): http://www.viprom.cn/list/21931.html

Hi guys, any one managed to do the global Rom flash to their Magic v or Vs?
Or managed to install the Google services on MagicOs 7.0

Global launch is around the corner so its just a matter of time before we will see a global rom. I think the Problem might be the locked bootloader.
And I can not read Chinese but all these firmwares on the linked site seem to be Android 12 Firmwares. We need a MagicOS 7.1 Firmware. Not 7.0.x.x.x.

can you share your device about pick

hello was there any success ?

So if I bought the global version, does that mean that things like Android auto should work?

Also, there is full Google integration.
