Zopo ZP980t Need help Please

Good morning everyone,
I have a zopo zp980t 32gb 2gb ram model whihc from reading and checking mine does not have fcc or b logo under battery if that helps to know what rom i can use.
BUT i have a big problem.
Phone was working very well on latest firmware which it came with a month ago.
I changed boot animation once from someone on a site and all good as original was annoying.
He made me a custom animation and when i clicked on update as with other's, this time the screen went bright screen and went onto the blue adnroid icon with spinning circle going around it and now it just stays on this.
I am gutted as phone will not boot.
I can only get into recovery menu with usb cable conencted to pc and pressing vol up and power, this will not work without usb attached?
Anyway i am trying in vain to at least get it working again and flashing a rom original with flashtool 4.2, this now is into 2nd day and getting nowhere.
I am running windows 7 home edition and the driver is the issue as i get BROM error ...............port etc (1013) which i assume is driver not installed which i have tried way too often.
Is there a clear tut how to get this done as i feel once i get this corrected i will hopefully be able to get phone running again, maybe?
I don't like asking for much and always will work and learn myself by reading but their are so many models of this 980 it is not possible to know which rom i can use etc.
Any guidance is really much apprecaited.
Absolutley gutted what's happened not long after buying it.
Thank you so much for any advice given.

Fixed & how to
This is for other's that may have same problem or simply want to know how to reflash from fresh.
First of all i was having issues with the usb driver i.e port not installing.
So i used my wifes netbook and installed perfectly without issue.
I then went to zopo main original roms page and downloaded BOTH roms to save hassle.
As my phone is 32gb 1.5 quad core, Black under battery, no FC, no B and no replies to help me find out what model i have i went testing.
I started the flashtool 4.2, then i tried firstly the:-
ZP980/C2 4.2  ZP980_0610  341.4MB 2013/6/10 Normal Version (PHONE DOESN'T BOOT)
Secondly I then flashed:-
ZP980/C2 4.2 ZP980_0610 341.4MB 2013/6/10 B version (THIS WORKS FULLY)
So now completed flash and phone working.
Then i connected the phone to my wireless network, and in the phone i clicked on the WIRELESS UPDATE app.
This then provided me straight away with the latest update being:- BUILD NUMBER ZP980 20130818-173942.
I rebooted phone and now latest firmware.
I wanted to root it now and easiest way is simply using a program called EROOT.
Make sure USB DEBUGGING is ON, wait few seconds and hit ROOT.
Super user now in phone and fully rooted.
Job done

[Q] Problems with ODIN/Download mode

Just for reference I have a p5113 model.
A while back I put Cyanogen on my tablet. A few months ago I cracked the screen, only a bit on the corner, of course I can't stand cracked screens so I ordered a replacement. When I installed the screen everything connected fine and dandy so I tried to start it up, but when I did the touch function didn't work. I thought maybe it was just a bad screen that I had ordered, so I got another. When I got the second screen in I replaced it, but this time it was doing the same thing as before where the touch wasn't working! I made sure everything was connected okay and also checked for anything damaged, but everything seemed fine. For some reason I thought maybe hard resetting it would help, but it didn't. At this point I was just trying to get the stock 4.2.2 firmware back on it. I downloaded the firmware, used ODIN to get it onto the tablet. When it restarted after the firmware was loaded on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I heard that it may just need to be factory reset again so I tried to get into recovery mode, but only goes into ODIN/Download mode, which is what my final problem is here.
TL;DR Tablet will not go into recovery mode. Only ODIN/download mode.
I haven't been able to find ANYONE else that has had this problem before. So if anyone knows the source of my problem, I would be very appreciative of your help.

Well you could have fried the capacitive touch circuit with a static charge I have no idea what your skill level is also you could have a bad image or you could have bonked the hardware and it doesn't detect critical boot hardware I'm not that well versed in firmware related boot issues but hopefully some helpful nerd can give you a hand you could also just try again aster you download a new IMG

sounds like a damaged digitizer to me.
may as well get a new tablet as digitizers tend to cost almost the same as a new device...
now... recovery...
this may sound redundant but try flashing the firmware again. when it flashes make sure it says "recovery.img" or similar at some point in the Odin log.
be sure to use the correct pit file and the repartition check box when flashing.
there are usually two or more firmwares per tablet so if one fails to boot recovery try the other.
the site I find that has reliable files is samsung-updates.com but be prepared for slow downloads averaging am hour and a half.

[Q] Can I root a n8010 stuck in odin bootloop (tried everything else )

Hi all..or anyone out there
I have had the seemingly strange bootloop problem on my stock note N8010...which stuck on the dreaded "samsung galaxy note 10.1" and only has odin feature working. (and no factory reset options because I think the poor old tab is crammed to bursting with apps, files and cache and so had a meltdown) poor thing.
so anyway I check these sites of techie wonder and wisdom and followed every logical option..starting with the simple ones
first ran power down and tried to boot up (x3) with no joy, then take apart the tablet to disconnect / reconnect the battery and boot up (x3) still no change.
So went and got the firmware from samwares (both jelly bean and kitkat) to then flash through odin....tried and failed first because of dodgy cable, but the then got a new one...and joy of joys (at first) odin recognised my tab and the firmware flashed across with pass..but then auto rebooted straight back into the dreaded samsung 10.1 again....so tried different versions of odins... and tried other global n8010 firmware...but funnily and frustratingly then all fully download and pass in odin (and the andoid logo and green download status bar on the tablet seems to shown that downloading is and has fully taken place.... but the darn thing still wont boot up past the samsung galaxy note 10.1
Sadly coming to the ends of my tether (of so many nearly there false hopes, high and lows) and very little cash to send it to the Sami tech bods doesnt help matter....I then read and tried the (supposed) last resort pit file/firmware option...first with kitkat (as apparently that worked for someone somewhere) and then tried with jelly bean..again each time itAlways passes in odin.... but auto reboots into the dreaded bootloop logo .... to haunt and torment me.. Aaaaagh!!!!.....I would not mind if it said action failed (for once) like some others seem to experiencet...but it always passes in ODIN????
So.....have come to the semi ignorant conclusion it is either the bootloader section of the tablet or the original software that is messed up or some internal hardware component has a fault.
but was wondering if there is anthing left to try...or would it potentially be possible or worth trying to root a tablet in this condition?
As although I have not ventured into the wild worlds of rooting.....I am now pretty confident of messing with this tablets mind..and have little to lose...so any further ideas and help would be great.

Exact same here. Never flashed, totally stock N8010. My wife hadn't used it for a couple of weeks. So she grabs it again and it was off. booted to nothing but the boot logo. Nothing worked except Download mode.
Flashing stock roms has Odin reporting success, but it still won't boot up. Trying re-Partition does give a fail as soon as I press start.
And we aren't alone. It appears there are quite a few of these cases. I have no idea how to solve this.
I have done a bit of rom flashing on my old galaxy S (the first one) and bootloaders and such usually were included in a ROM. Rooting was done with Recovery or an app and I think it was also possible with adb, IIRC (it's been a while).
It's my wife's Note and she's starting to scope out mini iPads...

Same problem with GT-N8010
I am also having the same problem.
I tried to upload a new ROM via ODIN. All was successful from the ODIN app (PASSED). but stuck on the boot screen. Power and Vol up does not work (it appears to but then crashes out to the boot screen again) so no way to do a hard factory reset.
Volume down/power does work and allows you to get to Odin mode. but as above, uploading a new ROM does not seem to work.
This is an un-rooted GT-N8010 with the stock ROM when I purchased it back in 2013 I believe.
Come on guys, give us some ideas.
Thanks
Gene

Sounds like wrong model firmware flashed as that's the usual bootloop problem .
Try Odin firmware flash wait to passed then remove battery for a short while and replace and try recovery mode .

In my case there is no incompatible firmware issue... The tablet just stopped working one morning and that was that.
Can't comment on the other posters though.

My wife's the same. Never done anything to it. No idea how to remove the battery. I let the battery run down once, then recharged it, made no difference.
That was before trying to flash the new firmware. My Note says N8010 on the back, it says so in the download mode. I got a firmware from SamMobile for the N8010. Don't know what else I can do.

[Q] need help to troubleshoot & repair this p5100

Hello
I have the pleasure of trying to help a friend with her tablet, the samsung tab 2 10.1 - gt-p5100 .
The main thing working is the on button , which will boot but only to "samsung tab2 10.1" screen and then black /turn off.
Also I can get it to boot to ODIN mode by holding VOL DWN + power,
after proceeding to Continue with VOL UP , I get the "downloading "
and the screen also tells me
ODIN MODE
Product name GT-P5100
Custom binary download: none
Current binary: Samsung_official.
Odin mode can be turned off by holding the power button for a long while.
The tablet has no functions towards VOL UP + Power which should trigger factory / recovery setting. They do no exist on this device for what ever weird reason.
If plugged in with turned of screen the screen reveals a frozen (not spinning) thinking symbol like an asterix * , the one that would turn into a battery icon should this device boot correctly. But the battery icon never shows up, only the "frozen thinking icon"
Since I have a similar device, the first tab 10.1 called gt-P7500 , some of the components are the same.
So I have trouble shooted already these steps:
Opened device , unplugged battery, waited X minutes, re-plugged. Nothing, same problems.
Opened device, replaced port cord for power cable (the I/O flat cable, is the same in the 7500), Nothing, same problems.
Opened device, replaced battery (also the same from the 7500) , Nothing, same problems.
Also a combo of the both , Nothing, same problems.
Also I reverse tested the flat cord in my own tablet , my tablet boots fine, so the cord is fine.
Also with the battery in my own tablet, my tablet boots fine, the battery looks healty and was almost full, I recharged it fully to 100 % on my own tablet before putting it back into the p5100.
I have also tried various plugs, cable, wall-chargers, car-chargers - originals and copies alike., 1amps, 2amps...from other devices, nothing
I still do no think the charging is the problem nor the battery it self, all these work on my 7500 tablet, but on the p5100 : Nothing, same problems.
Also.. I think if the tablet would have battery issues it would not power on at all and never ever get into ODIN mode, this screen can be on for hours on end.
I also downloaded to see which functions the Odin programme could help me out with, the tablet can connect to the ID:COM , no problem and find any given ROM on my HD.
Of course I also tested connecting the tablet to the PC with the original USB cable WITHOUT Odinmode, but it will trigger connected/not connected sounds and my windows 10 will say : could not identify usb etc etc , and the screen on the tablet will turn on with that "frozen thinking icon"
So..what else can I do beside ask my friend to use the darn thing as a Frisbee ??
How can I get a normal boot sequence going or regain access to recovery/factory settings ??
The device was never rooted, never repaired prior to this. The device is 4 years old, so no more warranty.

check this link
you can try flashing an official firmware without pit file, flash custom recovery and last with pit file. all details should be in the link with details, it's lengthy but should help

Ok so , the occurrences do not mean that the emmc bug has struck this tablet ??? So because it can boot to "downloader" it is still salvageable ?? Please tell me someone if this is the case :crying:
wow i hope so . I have no knowledge of the various innards so to speak, in which order the various bits and bobs are executed and therefor we could know... Meaning my hope now flashing stock/custom and so on and so forth.
What would be the indicators to the emmc bug ? It seems it is a wide spread field of errors , mostly signs of hard brick.
I have just used this P5100XXDNA1_P5100NEEDNA1_P5100XXDMG1_HOME.tar.md5 with ODIN 3.12.3 and it did nothing. The programme ran fine , it worked within minutes. But still boots the same way.
So now while writing my pc is dl'ing the 4Files Firmwares from tsar3000. Sadly I have a feeling it will still boot the same way , I will update once I have tried.

I did mentioned in my guide that if you can enter into download or recovery you can still save the device. but in case it didn't even recovered with the 4 files and pit and considering you tried all the stuffs you could even with the batteries. chances are the case is the faulty emmc card where it's not writing on the card anymore. suspect anything else?
playing Frisbee is a bad idea, you can keep it as a spare if your older device needs some replacement or you can get it repaired.

Hmm ok that does not leave me many options. It is the tablet of my friend, so I will return it to her.
Do you happen to know any sites that deal with the specifics of the hardware?? Meaning a website forum where I can ask these questions. I need to understand which part does what here and specifically which part is failing in this case if we are to throw any more time and money away on this piece. Cheers

Help me anyone ? I have not been able to find the exact problem like mine , described like I did ... Can someone direct me to a hardware forum where someone might know this emmc trouble, can identify it 100 % and tell me which part to exchange ? I am my friend's only help since there are no funds to buy a new tablet for her & her kid. I really hope someone can help guide me furtheron

ok thread is closed, i gave up on this device since I could find no other help and could do nothing else. She kept the charger for her phone and the device was sent to recycle.

Help with apparently hard-bricked phone?

Tried 3 different versions of Odin, it always fails after boot.img ("complete write operation failed")
My phone model is G920I.
I'm stuck in the exclamation mark screen. Only thing I can do pressing buttons is reach the download screen. Can't access recovery.
Can I flash TWRP through odin and try installing a firmware stored in my ssd? Or that wouldn't even work seeing as I can't get pass the ! blue (green?) screen anyway?
Worst part is, I don't even know how this all started. I got a notification that a new update was released, but my battery was low, the phone died, I left ir charging and it wouldn't turn on the other day. I probably ****ed something up in the recovery screen (it was accessible in the beginning) and now I can only access the !/download screen.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? Thanks in advance.

Charge you battery a bit anyway, to be sure there is minimum 30%. Then flash latest 7.0 firmware correctly for your model via Odin3 with latest drivers: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...official-stock-firmware-t3086387/post73935393 here you found all.

Made a new thread because my problem seems slightly different and I explain about it. Don't see how it could be prejudicial to the forum but thanks for the hint.
My phone is only on when connected with cable, either to the computer or charger, When I still had access to recovery mode, it said 99% battery. Now I don't even think I can check the battery? All I know is when the phone is not connected, it stays off.
I've tried using a couple of supposedly stock firmware from my model but the error is always the same. Gonna try downloading one from where you linked me to, but do you really thing it could make a difference, considering everything I've said?
Thanks in advance.
