Hello all
I don't want to be that guy that makes one post and runs for the hills I actually want to be part of the community, unfortunately this current situation is driving me nuts, to the point where I just have to post.
You see I own a cubit x17 that features quite a lot of bloatware and malware that needs removing.
I have rooted my device using kingroot and even gone as far as to install TWRP. I have downloaded a custom ROM for my phone that is saved in my downloads.
The problem is I just can't figure out how to install it...... I've tried everything from using TWRP to manual booting (there's not a single install option on the manual boot screen) and as far as I know no SD card in the phone and I cant seem to find the download folder from the boot screen.
Please can somebody help before I pull the remaining hair I have left out.

Hi Team,
Reaching out to the experts to kindly help me in pointing to the right thread for solving my issue. I am quite new to trying to installations using multiloader and understanding the overall technical stuff around(2 long days old). I have a Samsung wave GT-S8500 cell phone on which I am trying to get Badadroid 4.4 loaded. I carefully researched n checked this forum to get the steps and pretty much followed them. I could flash FOTA and boot files successfully, however CWM recovery keeps on giving this error(can't open E:/cache/recovery/last_log) and simply doesn't respond to any option I select. I formatted the SD card, got the phone to reset to factory settings and done pretty much as much as I could from You tube videos. But failing to get Android installed. I wouldn't mind cleaning the cell phone again and start afresh but need some guidance on the same. Your quick help will really help me get over this huge challenge. Do kindly let me know if I need to provide more info.Thank you.
Regards,
Manupreey
Hi there,
I'm sorry, but XDA Assist is not a help desk, only to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.
On the subject, I give you few links of threads where you can read and/or ask about you error:
Read about here [HOW TO] Install any custom BadaDroid Rom to S8500... or here [HOW TO] Flash BADA 2.0 on your Wave 1 (S-8500)

Good luck
HI, i need your help please.. I installed about a month ago Lollipop on my Xperia S by some YouTube tutorial. There was a link for root package, but i forgot to install it before installing Lollipop, and now i cant get to CWM recovery, i tried (almost?) everything, so i cant install the rar, and one-click root sw/kingo root doesnt work for me ..
If i flash recovery again, will i lost my data/OS or something? I dont want to install etc. everything again so please, let me know how to deal with this. Also i turned off the "ambient thing", but its still pretty sensitive - it keeps unlocking itself when I put in on my bike or just when im trying to clean it which never happened to me before.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sony Xperia S at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!

Hi,
I recently bought an Umi Iron and believe I have accidentally managed to soft brick it (based on what ive found on google and the forums here) I need a way to get it working again and have some ROMS (2 official ones) which are compatible for the device. The device will boot into recovery and allows restoration from an SD card, ABD Push or the cache. The cache is empty and although i have searched for how to do it from an SD card i have found no information (I've tried putting the .zip files onto the device and installing those but the device says "installation aborted"). I have a SDK which I am attempting t learn to use in order to fix the device. Any information about how to use the program/get the new ROM flashed via fastboot would be much appreciated as I have very little knowledge of what I am doing as I have never attempted to root or flash a phone. The phone comes pre rooted from the factory (I dont know if this info is relevant but I'm working on the assumption the more info i can give the better). The device entered this startup loop when i removed an app which i had accidentally installed as a system file while trying to use an app to move it to my SD card. Any information and help is much appreciated
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, but perhaps the members in this thread can help..

Hi Darth,
Many thanks for your reply, since i posted this thread I have done some further research and narrowed the problem down further. The device runs android 5.1 and there is a setting in the developer settings which locks the OEM bootlocker. This is the issue i am having. Because the device has this option checked, I cannot unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom to rectify the issue as i cannot turn the device on to access these settings. I have seen many people have had this problem with devices and android 5.1 including Nexus and HTC phones. I have been unable to find a fix for this issue though so if you know of any articles which may point me in the direction that would be most helpful
Thanks again
I would say the best place to ask about that is in the thread I linked above. But if that's not helpful, you could ask here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
Every device is different as far as if or how the bootloader can be unlocked. So you really need an answer specific to your device.
Hope it works out for you!
have elephone p2000 with some custom rom on it and working stock recovery. than i flash new rom called resrom 1.5, rooted BUT internal storage is access denied and 0kb. Just to say that my usb port is broken and will be hard to replace it because someone was trying to make it work and totaly screwed up.
So anyway I cannot connect to a pc and fix things. Next, cant access recovery, tried to flash new one but to no avail. I am still rooted but even when using some apk to flash new rom or recovery i get msgs like "not enough space" or nothing is happening.
info on the phone:
ELEPHONE P2000 MT 5692

MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35.P8.2014/11/03
KERNEL 3.4.67 [email protected] #1
BUILD P2000_20150228_RESTORN
Play store ok, calls and the rest is fine, apk i am using: mobileuncle, rashr, auto flasher but nothing gets job done, flashyfy doesn't work and many others. I was looking into init files saw some guide but don t want to mess things even more so i gave up, also wanting to flash boot.img but no proper or functional apk for it.
somethimes on phone start stuck in a loop of screen turn on for 20 sec and then off and its like that until i remove battery, all before rom logo, same thing if i try use buttons combination for recovery or whatever i press in any combination nothing changes.
This is not my first smartphone but is of this kind and funny companies, had problems before with Sony, Samsung but in this extent never, always find YOU guys everybody clever in some fields and as a community more than THE BEST, as you can see i dont post or seek answers by asking, i rather research until now. I fell hopeless, useless and never more stupid, or i m just tired of looking for the answer. In some other case i would give it to my child to play the games an to hell with this phone but its my wife's and she dont want to by a new phone for some reason. Help me to be the man of the house again, kidding, loosing it....
I think I gave you overall picture of the phone state and someone might show me the way to have fully working phone. I forgot, if you are wondering how do i charge battery, well I take it out twice a day and charging on the base of other broken phone, that part i did cover, help me with the rest.
p.s my SD card is working most of the time so this is my only connection to a pc....

Hello, thanks for a tip, I ll try that.:good:
any idea where to go with this problem of mine, on xda i mean, can you point me to a specific developer........
Hello
I had a phone which I unfortunately downloaded malware , you can ask but you will see naiveity and mistakes I made.
Anyhow.... I had to flash my phone THL 5000 mkt6592 and was not sure how, even after google searching etc. I eventually downloaded the Latest (after the first version I thought was the latest it was the top one in the web page but the latest was the bottom :-/ ) worked... to an extant. I flashed and formatted and downloaded the ROM I got from the THLphoneshop.
First thing i did- I bricked my phone all well and good hopefully the virus/malware is gone.
1) I thought everything was great, the malware that installed a ROM without any text was no longer seen (positive to an extant).
2a) I then tried again and the phone worked with the imei not being valid without my sim card as I don't want to put it in yet till I fix it.
2b) The touchscreen does not work properly, I press the top to try to select a button in the centre ... I have read similar things but not sure what to do.
3) My phone is now looping in the reset, I have tried to boot in safe mode hoping this would be fixed, I will try again and flash again but not sure. I have tried various tutorials.
androidmtk website was where I got it from, .... what was ROM with my rom sorry for the Intended pun... what was wrong my rom or with what I did?
Is the Rom Rom? (Is the ROM wrong? intended pun again... are there rules for the number of bad jokes in messages? )
Are there other better ROMS I can use which are just as secure, and easy for a newbie like me to put on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Harry
