Jewel - Custom Rom Installation Problems - Pac man /

S-OFF
1.
I used the official RUU for Jewel SENSE50 4.13.651.4
(everything installs correctly and works)
2.
I used fastboot to flash twrp 2.8.6.4 (also tried 2.8.6.0 )
per - android.cmphys.c o m/twrp-jewel
Fastboot says success.
3.
I boot into recovery.
Perform a Factory reset
( No errors present and completes Successful)
4.
Install Pac Jewel Rom 20150515-044902.zip
It says successful, but it presents this line :
( detected filesystem ext 4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system )
5.
I install gapss for android 5.0 20150222-signed.zip
6.
Reboot and it hangs after installing all apps ( starting apps)
I've tried to mount /system in recovery and then wipe it. I've also tried to wipe it when it wasn't mounted.
I'm sure i've got all the drivers I need. I can use adb to open shell and browse the filesystem. Fastboot also is able to do most commands. Wouldn't allow a fastboot format system.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

You can close this sorry. I used a different gapp package and it no longer hung on starting apps.

[GUIDE][FIX] Bricklooping Lettuce (YU Yuphoria) , No IMEI , Corrupt EFS

Hello Good People !!!
So yesterday,I encountered a brickloop on my lettuce and after around 10 hours of trying almost all methods,I was finally able to solve it.Though,mainly I was able to try all these as I had already got my replacement request from Amazon approved...
For those who don't know,brickloop is a situation when the device bootloops just after the YU logo and this bootloop isn't resolved even after factory image flash or any other ROM flash .
I cannot guarantee that this will work for everyone. However It has proven to be a solution for almost everyone that have used it. So if it does not work I ask that you be respectful in posting as such.
I am making a package for you to download which contains all files needed to make this happen (You need three more files,modemst1.img and modemst2.img and latest CM nightly but I am not going to give you those as I don't want everyone to have my IMEI on their lettuce . Though I will definitely tell you how to get those two files.) Download the package here :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347796818
So inside it you will have these files:
persist.img
adb 1.0.32
INSTRUCTIONS :-
Please note that any commands run in fastboot mode require you to have an unlocked boot loader. If you are not sure if you are unlocked then that means you aren't! So to unlock the bootloader,follow this guide :- http://forums.yuplaygod.com/threads/official-how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-the-yu-yuphoria.13785/
Step 1 :- You need to have proper adb/fastboot drivers installed.If you have unlocked bootloader ever or did so by the above guide,you already have these drivers with you.Else,use this guide to get drivers working :- http://forums.yuplaygod.com/threads...-drivers-pack-drivers-for-adb-fastboot.15025/ After you have made the drivers to work,continue to the next step.If you have issues in making drivers work,tag me in the thread and I will try my best to help you out.
Step 2 :- Extract the downloaded Zip on the Desktop .
Step 3 :- Open the adb1032 folder extracted on the desktop and put the latest CM nightly,modemst1.img and modemsr2.img inside it.Open Command Window by pressing Shift Key + Right click anywhere inside the folder and then selecting Open Command Window here.Boot your phone to fastboot mode.
Step 4 :- Now type the following command inside the Command Window or just copy-paste it :-
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 erase persist
Wait for the process to complete (Should take less than 5 seconds).
Step 5 :- Type the following command inside the Command Window or just copy-paste it :-
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 flash persist persist.img
Wait for the process to complete (Should take less than 5 seconds).
Step 6 :- (In most cases,the issue is solved in the Step 5 only.But still I recommend following all these steps.If you,by any chance,don't have modemst1.img and modemst2.img with you,DIRECTLY SKIP TO STEP 7) Type the following commands one by one :-
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 erase modemst1
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 erase modemst2
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 flash modemst1 modemst1.img
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 flash modemst2 modemst2.img
Step 7 :- If you don't have TWRP flashed,flash it from this thread :- http://forums.yuplaygod.com/threads/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-for-yu-yuphoria-01-08-15.13974/
Step 8 :- DON'T DO fastboot -i 0x2A96 reboot BUT instead remove the battery and then put it again and boot to recovery by pressing Power+Vol. Down button.
Step 9 :- Inside recovery,in the advanced folder,select ADB Sideload and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Cache" and swipe to start ADB Sideload.
Step 10 :- In the command window on your pc,type (Replace xxx with the correct Nightly name ) :-
Code:
adb sideload cm-xx-xxxxxxxx-NIGHTLY-lettuce.zip
Wait for the nightly to flash.
Step 11 :- From inside the recovery,reboot to system.
Your phone will be back now ....... Yayyyyy !!!!
And yeah,how to get modemst1.img and modemst2.img :-
Step 1 :- Download this app on your phone :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions
Step 2 :- Grant root access and in the settings,select storage to external sdcard and backup format to .img .
Step 3 :- Backup all partitions by selecting them and pressing a download like button at the bottom right . (Though we need to backup only modemst1 and modemst2 but I recommend you to backup all ... But yeah,first backup modemst1 and modemst2 and then backup others.The main reason I was able to restore my phone was because I had backup of all partitions,)
Step 4 :- In your external sdcard,find the modemst1.img and modemst2.img and save them inside the specified folder and also at as many secure places as you can so that these files never get lost.)
Please Note :- Most of the times,even a corrupt EFS is solved just by erasing and flashing persist.So don't worry much if you forgot to take its backup.Also,sometimes,a brickloop might be caused due to any other partition getting corrupted and that too can be solved but that is very rare.If this guide doesn't help in solving brickloop,tag me here,and I will help you out.

Reserved to improve the look of the post ... And also my story of how I arrived to this solution ..
And teaser : Another great guide coming soon ...

@Naman Bhalla,
I knew you from the OnePlus forums unbrick tool for 1+3.
I loved your work and it really saved my ass a lots of time.
I hope you're the same person and I Thank you very much
For that tool.
Coming to Lettuce,
I have installed this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/yu-yuphoria/general/rom-lineage-os-14-1-lettuce20170108-t3538332
And suddenly my phone got blank. I can't access anything..
And all I can see is a ? icon what ever I restart the phone to, every reboot to bootloader/ recovery or even when connected to PC.. it's just the battery icon. The device is not even detected as any type of device in PC.
I tried the emmc dump method using first 200MB dumb, no luck there.
Can you provide me any other method to make my phone work again?
Please help me..

@Naman Bhalla
Hi my YU Yuphoria 5010 started acting up since last week ,when i noticed that the phone was restarting randomly and the settings was missing and even if i clicked on the settings logo in the notification panel, nothing would happen .So i decided to flash a Cusstom ROM instead and boot into recovery.While trying to wipe cache,dalvik and data I got an error message "uable to mount data,cache ,system(invalid argument) and internal memory* was showing up as 0.So i thought my phone was bricked and tried reviving it with the sd card method.But everything else except for system flashed , and got an error FAILED (remote: flash write failure ) just for system .Anyway now I could boot into recovery using fastboot boot command and the internal memory started showing up correcty. The fastboot command is the only way i could get into recovery, if i try power+volume down it would just come up with the empty battery logo. After this i installed qualcomm drivers and manually changed the driver to Qualcomm HS-USB QD Loader 9008 and tried flashing through QFil with a flashable stock ROM and ended up with the error message:"Download Fail:System.Exception: Unable to download Flash Programmer using Sahara Protocol** at QC.QMSLPhone.Phone.QPHONEMS_SaharaArmPrgDownload(String sFileName)** at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.QPHONEMSSaharaDownloadArmPrg(UInt64& version, String armPrgPath)

But after going through some of your posts I found that my phone might not be bricked in the first place.My device just shows up as 'Android' under Other devices in Device Manager.
The following are the details from device manager.

Help to Unbrick Honor 8

Hi,
I need your help as i can't get my Honor 8 (FRD-L09) unbricked:
1) It worked fine with firmware FRD-L09432B389 (except Bluetooth that won't be activated)
2) I flashed it with Lineage 14.1 using this website:
http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/
3) It worked well but I got a strange message at bootup: To start Android please enter your password. This is probably due to encryption of prior partition. I made a format Data and wipe Data partition but it didn't helped.
No i still have access to TWRP but i'm unable to flash with any rom:
1) 3-Button force update mode doesn't work (it doesn't go the the update mode, even though dload/update.zip is existing on SD Card)
2) When i Try Unbrick mode from Huawei Multi-Tool i get this error message:
FAILED (remote: error partition error)
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
I confirm my bootloader is unlocked!
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that you tried to install the exact dload file of your phone's region?

Bro just try the above post it works 100% .

Hi,
I'm trying to flash through adb sideload. I activated the ADB Sideload in TWRP As well. The transfer worked correctly.
In attachment the log of flash.
I tried to flash these stock roms:
FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip (1,3Gb)
FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip (1,1Gb)
My Honor 8 is from Europe, meaning these flash should be correct.
In the log i noticed these messages:
failed to mount /data: Device or resource busy
unmount of /system failed: no such volume
unmount of /cust failed: no such volume.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Yes it took approximately 50 seconds each.
For HW EU i got this message: Total xfer: 1,07x
For Update : Total xfer: 1,00x
No it is stuck at blue screen with Honor
When i'm in TWRP, I go to Wipe and Advanced Wipe:
- Dalvik / Art Cache: Invalid Partition Selection (when i click Repair of Change File System)
- Cache: ext4 - 247Mb (0Mb used)
- Data: f2fs - 24662Mb (0Mb used)
- Internal Storage: Invalid Partition Selection
- System: ext4 - 1891Mb (1781Mb used)
- Vendor: ext4 - 579Mb (481Mb used)
- Micro SD Card: vfat 59624Mb (6081Mb used)
Is it normal Internal Storage shows Invalid Partition Selection ?
What should i do after flashing both zip files (with adb sideload) ? Go to eRecovery and connect to Wifi?
Thanks,

I must after flash boot to stock eRecovery and here do factory reset, u have this choice in?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After flashing both zip files the welcome screen is stuck at blue screen with Honor Logo.
From this i went back to TWRP to Flash with Lineage 14.1:
- I firstly got a screen that says encryption is unsuccessful and i need to click to reset phone
- I got a second screen that looks to Recovery Screen and that Reset phones (takes 1-2minutes-
- I have a third screen saying: To start Android, enter your password.
I don't have that password since it is converted from fingerprint i assume.
Can you please details how to do this:

Phone unbricked??

No Phone still not unbricked.
What i'm trying to do know is:
- Install TWRP 3.1.1.1 by OpenKirinProject on eRecovery partitition (Should i try Recovery Partition ?)
- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip file
- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip file
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-In TWPR, click Reboot - Recovery
- In Recovery, choose wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition.
- Reboot fingers crossed
But i still have significant issues:
Failed to mount /cust (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount /vendor (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount /product (Invalid Argument)
Any additional help, please do not hesitate!
In my opinion all the issues i have is because partitions that are corrupted i think. Not sure if they are recovered only by installing full flash zip file.
Thanks for the help!

Yes but it's not as easy as that for different reasons:
1) First of all thanks for your help and for your post (that explains how to unbrick) but as everyone has is own understanding and knowledge/experience level in these topics, your post lacks precise steps. Example: When you say "Flash firmware for your model" should be: Click install, select your firmware in ZIP format and click Install image. For your level this seems probably obvious but it's not for everyone.
2) Even though, it is not always working. Right now i bricked my phone again by trying to install Lineage 14.1. I just recovered it but it is again multiple steps in TWRP, sometimes clicking there and there, and it works sometimes with chance. I have the feeling that we still don't know 100% sure what to do in which case to have 100% success rate.
Now i have my phone fully working in B389, Bluetooth also.
Does anyone know how to install Lineage 14.1 ? Here is the link for Honor 8:
http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/
Because they explain:
Wipe data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Format the System partition.
Again that's not precise:
1) Wipe Data Factory Reset ?? Does that mean:
a) Click Wipe & Swipe to Factory Reset
b) Click Wipe - Click Advanced wipe - Select Data & Swipe to Wipe
2) Cache Partition & Dalvik Cache means : Click Wipe - Click Advanced Wipe - Select Dalvik Cache + Cache & Swipe to Wipe
3) Format the system Partition : Click Wipe, Click Advanced Wipe, Select System, Swipe to Wipe ??
Because i just tried to do it (according to my understanding) and i got bootloop and access to TWRP only.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Yes i think you should indeed (if possible of course ). For instance, what was new for me was also the fact 2 flash images were required, one called "update" and one called "region".

4 file in your phone
System.img Vendor.img Product.img and Boot.img
Recovery Menu :
Install > Install Image >> vendor.img >> Vendor Image Swipe
Same for all 4 image
Then format your data if you are on crypted Miui rom or just wipe if you got allready uncrypted data mode
Finaly Mount Menu
Check Cust to mount
Then back to Advanced menu choose Terminal :
cd /cust
rm -r *
Reboot and wait
Archive.zip it is for you make easyer to got what you need : just unzip it on your phone after reboot finish and install what you need

No don't install Magisk.zip as i say can't work, you don't need magisk.zip anymore, just install Magisk Manager under Anrdoid in the Archive.zip

vendor.img >> Vendor Image >> Swipe
system.img >> System Image >> Swipe
product.img >> Product Image >> Swipe
boot.img >> Boot >> Swipe

Then format your data if you are on crypted Miui rom or just wipe if you got allready uncrypted data mode
I'm not sur about this, I flashed Treble Rom when u shared and after that I did not change anything. So do I format now or just wipe?

Last time i share vendor uncrypted mode if you got this vendor mod then you allready formated it to got uncrypted data if not then format your data.

Format your data, do not wipe format
I've flashed vendor, system, product and boot. Now I'm on main menu. Where do I format from? Wipe I guess?

By clicking wipe, I have 2 options:
1. Advanced Wipe
2. Format Data
And then on bottom is "Swipe to factory reset"
What do i do?

"yes" >> swipe
