Hello,
I had my device running slow from the moment I opened it the first time.
I know I should have take it to the warranty, but I needed the time all day.
I dropped it so I couldn't take it there anymore.
Now, since the warranty is void, I wanted to change the 5.0.2 lollipop, hoping for a normal response time from it.
I tried installing TWRP and I didn't suceed. It got stuck on the Lenovo logo.
I managed to put back a recovery from another ROM (lenovo) and used QcomDLoader.exe to flash another rom. A stock version of A6010 but of 16GB ROM not 8 like mine.
It didn't work, even if I waited more than 500 seconds (more than 5 minutes). Now, it's in black screen, won't come out of it.
I managed to find some errors with another qualcomm flash applications:
Code:
Sahara Version:0
Start Sending Programmer
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)
Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail
Finish Download
I hope someone has an idea that could help me out. I'm trying non-stop for 10 hours now. My head really hurts, I didn't just post this here without trying to solve it myself first.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Andrei
UPDATE:
Okay, so I managed to install a 8GB A6000 firmware, but the GSM network is not working. It shows 2 sims of 2G and none is working.
I have the open source files of my original firmware on lenovo's site.
How could I replace the entire OS, so masically copy/paste the files from computer onto the phone? Or ..can I make a flash version from those files?
Thank you!
Andrei

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!
I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?
I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!
I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!
Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
Greetings for all xda members,
I need your generous support regarding my Freetel Kiwami FTU152D.
It was working well on android 5.1 but i made a blunder by flashing a custom android 6.0 rom from needrom.com made for FTJ152D. I supposed that the FTU152D is having same hardware as FTJ152D , and its just and american version of the Japanese model.
But unfortunately things went wrong and i phine lost the IMEI after flashing.
Steps done to restore/Write IMEI:
1: Engineering mode:
CDS information is not available in engineering mode, tired to install CDS but failed.
2:Maui Meta Mode:
Phone reboots and doesnt enter inter meta mode.
3: SN Writing tool:
Phone simply reboots and fails to write the IMEI.
4:Rooting
almost all android and PC rooting apps(Kingo,King,Farmaroot, Root Genious etc.) failed to root the device.
please guide me how to get the IMEI working on android 6 or how can i got back to stock android 5 rom, haven't find and stock rom yet.
looking forward to experts opinion.
thanks.
Hi, I'm trying to find the original stock rom for XT1922-5, my cell phone got stuck on the bootloader screen and it's always showing the messagem;
START UP FAILED:
YOUR DEVICE DIDN'T START UP SUCCESSFULLY
USE THE SOFTWARE REPAIR ASSISTANT ON COMPUTER
TO REPAIR YOUR DEVICE.
I've tried so many stock rom, and none of them worked out for my cell phone.
these are the bootloader info:
baseband:M8937_13.423.055.35R JETER_LATAMDSSDS_CUST
PRODUCT/VARIANT: JETER XT1922-5 32GB P4
IF ANYONE HAS THIS STOCK ROM AVAILABLE, COULD YOU PLEASE SEND THAT TO ME?, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE IT FOR WEEKS AND NOTHING REALLY WORKED!
AND MY BOOTLOADER ISN'T UNLOCKED!
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Greetings, everyone! Usually I have good knowledge regarding rooting, custom recovery and flashing a new system. But this time I tried to downgrade the Samsung Xcover 3 of my friend and flashed the Android 4.4.4 sboot.bin with Heimdall - unfortunately I forgot to tick the "no reboot" option. The moment it rebootet, I know do not have any access to the phone anymore.
When trying to bring it into download mode, it vibrates, but nothing else. Neither Linux nor Windows recognizes the phone. Is it dead? How to gain access so that I can flash the correct sboot.bin? Any tricks you recommend?

If you can find a "debrick.img" or "debrick.bin" for your specific model number, there is a method that uses your external sdcard to boot the phone then repair it while it is booted.
But, first, you need to find a debrick.img or debrick.bin for your specific model number. If you can't find a copy for your model number, you can try finding another member here that has a rooted Xcover 3 with the exact same firmware as your device had and have them pull a copy of debrick.img or debrick.bin from their device then upload it for you to download.
If you can't find that, the only other options are to send the device to a repair shop for JTAG service or replace the motherboard.

I did not even expect that someone would answer here. THANK YOU SO MUCH, @Droidriven! That gives me hope to rescue the phone instead of having o buy a new one for my friend. Here is what I actually did wrong: In my attempt to "downgrade" from 5.1.1 Lollipop to Android 4.4.4 Kitkat (downgrade needed to be able to root the phone) I flashed the sboot.bin of Android 4.4.4 Kitkat with Heimdall and forgot to tick the NO REBOOT option.
That being said, the phone now only vibrates when using my JTAG (yes, I actually have one and the phone vibrates, but does not boot into download mode and is not recognized by neither Windows nor Linux). So, how to build this unbrick image? Could you help me with that? Both firmwares are to be found here:

Another thread with sadly no file uploaded was to be found here:

As for the creation of the unbrick image, do you recommend this tool? I currently have no Windows at hand but can provide you with the original PIT file if you can run this tool to create it:

Furthermore, I actually wanted to install LineageOS on that phone. Not sure if you have a Google-foo so strong that you are able to find a working one for me?
Thanks a lot for your help. May god return your efforts in helping me!

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. Did you ever make any progress? Yes, I think there are some reliable methods to create debrick.img/debrick.bin files, there is one such method posted here at XDA in a random post in a thread here but I can't remember exactly what thread it is.
Hi, guys, I am really needing help.
I have bougth a chinese android tablet model tb128fu. I was worried with the safety of the tablet's ROM, I was suspecting it was a shop ROM. So, I downloaded LMSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant) to flash an another ROM (even I have read in LMSA app that flashing ROM mustn't be done in chinese devices - I was very stupid) and it bricked my tablet. Tablet entered into a reboot mode loop: any chosen option was conducting to lenovo's logo and, after it, reboot menu again.
I have posted a question about it here in forum and people suggested to use ROM2box app. I tried to use it and I think it would solve my problem, but during ROM flashing in ROM2box my pc turned off (due to a residencial blackout) and now my tablet is completely died. VOL UP and DOWN and power off buttons are not working, and the screen doesn't show anything, in any situation (even during battery charging).
Please, help me!!! I think I have lost my tablet.
In PC's devices manager tablet is showed as Qualcoom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Does it help anything to solve my problem?
I have also tried to flash some chinese ROM in tablet using QFIL, but all times it shows the follow error:
"Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail"
I am thankful anyway. Thank you for your attention.
Re-flash tablets Stock ROM.
BTW:
Tablet isn't hardbricked but softbricked, IMO
With the "hardbrick" usually a part of the low-level firmware is damaged, e.g. the bootloader, the "radio firmware" or other firmware, which is necessary for the operation of the SoC (System-on-Chip). To re-install this firmware, special hardware (usually JTAG) is required, as well as expert knowledge and corresponding image files are often not publicly available (at least not officially). It's like "shooting" the BIOS/EFI on a PC.
With a "softbrick," only the operating system is damaged, e.g. the Android kernel or the system libraries. You can reflash the device.

Ah, ok. I am really sorry for my mistake. It's clear now what is the difference between hard and soft brick.
May you help me to reflash my device? I have no idea how to do that.
Thank you for you reply
