Soft brick but can't resolve! - Samsung Galaxy S II Plus

Hi to all. From making XOSP to soft bricking to restore firmware stock... I tried to flash with and without pit the stock firmware (4.1.2 and 4.2.2), but i can't do nothing, only recovery and download mode... i have a difference from stock partition: DTSBK (partition 12) has a ext2 filesystem, but in stock it hasn't... i can send you an image where i can explain this... in command prompt there's my partition table, the other is the stock

I'm not sure, but I don't think that partition is the problem.
Flashing the full stock firmware with Odin should make it normal...
Be sure to flash the right firmware for your model (i905 or i905p)

Ok, I asked someone that is much more expert than me. He said that DTSBK should only be a backup partition for DTS, so it shouldn't be what causes your issue..
Try to download the firmware again and check the file is not corrupted (you may check the MD5 to be sure), then try to flash it again..

By recovery no, but via philz recovery and adb via pc yes, but i don't know which is the command for making a partition without filesystem and if the partitions where i'm going to erase have some important files... Backup of efs i think i have... It isn't that the problem...

But i used 3 firmwares, 2 4.2.2 and 1 4.1.2... They can't be corrupted, i used many times all... Now i try to remake the partitions to DTSBK and try to flash without pit... Now i flashed 4.2.2 firmware with pit (the correct) for using philz recovery and system, hidden, and data are without filesystem...

Now i tried to remake the partitions from 12 to 21 with the name, as stock. But DTSBK remains on ext2 filesystem, i did the command
Code:
mkpart primary 98.8 99.4
And making nand erase all and flashing the firmware with pit? Is it a too big risk?
Edit: the result of flashing the 4.1.2 stock without pit after remaking the partitions:

It seems that trying to fix the partition you actually make it worse... I guess the only thing that you can do is to recreate the partition manually using a program like gparted...

Guys! I won vs my phone! I flashed twrp when i flashed 4.2.2 stock firmware and changing filesystem in recovery to ext4 to cache and system (data to f2fs before and ext4 after) and partitions gave me the normal dimension, then i flashed XOSP and all was good!!! Tomorrow i try to flash 4.1.2 stock

@matteo0026 you need custom rom based on stock firm? If so..then take a look at SAZY (by @beegee) for me it's the best SII+ custom rom based on stock..Almost sure u will like it too..ExSlim (by @andixlm) is also very stable and good one.

Hey bro, if you want i can give you SAZY, if you are willing to tweak it and theme it, its all yours
I stopped project because of new device, and because i didnt knew what else to make in that rom..
Rom has newest baseband from samsung, some tweaks, some mods and themes icons.
If you want i can contact forum moderator and give this thread to you, but you also need to mention that i was maintainer and that you are taking over the project after long time

I have a question...the SM-N900 device must have the same firmware region code (XXU) as the uploaded files or it doesn't matter? I'am a little bit confused.

First of all Thanks A.S._id.
I flash, because I need two thing : french and root.
My phone come from Thailand and I flash only PDA, no region change.
I have french language now :good:
For root, it did write something about blocking SU (or something like that) on first boot, I did clean the message too quiclky.
But so far no root and SU fail
(I'm going to try the recovery there : [RECOVERY]CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.7 for N900 N900S N9005 N9006 N900T
EDIT : Finaly, with CWM and SU update, My device is rooted !
Thanks a lot

KNOX?
Hi there,
The device is NOT fully rooted, actually, well, even after applying
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460720 , I get crashes and instabilities among the installed apps.
Deleted all the KNOX apps using Titanium backup and applying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463116&nocache=1 but it did not seem to help. I even did a full wipe, cache wipe, and Dalvik wipe.
Is everybody happy or is it me?

2.Go to download mode (menu+down volume + power) and flash it true Odin.
3.Now u are in Stock Moded recovery.When u step in again in recovery just press restart.
It will boot it now in ur rom.
4.If u want to flesh custom recovery do it true odin.
In my case when i flesh custom recovery again i have only one chanse to flash new rom or something like that,becouse recovery boot loop will come again
So that is my solution that i do for my self.

Ok.U say that u can not instal any custom rom true custom recovery (philz,TWRP or CWM) ???

This doesnt sound good. Does anyone know what the problem is, and how to solve it?

Perhaps stock recovery doesn't let you flash custom rom.
Did you try from stock recovery to flash custom recovery? Like philz?
Try that and then from philz custom recovery flash custom rom.

I sorted it out eventually, if anyone else has the problem I flashed my custom rom, then went back into download mode in odin and reflashed stock recovery wiped data cache etc rebooted. Seems to be ok again now, thanks to previous help.

You can't flash images from recovery, only zips. You need to use fastboot to flash a system image.

So there isn't any way

Actually, looking at your screenshots I might be wrong. I'm still on 2.8.0 and there is no option to flash images, only zips. But it looks like the version of TWRP you're running does have the option to flash images. I've never seen that before, you learn something new every day I guess. That being the case, I don't know why you would be getting that error. Are you sure you're trying to flash the correct image?
EDIT: I just checked out the TWRP thread, and according to the OP, you can only flash boot and recovery images, not system images. So I guess my original post still stands. If you want to flash a system image, you need to use fastboot. Otherwise, flash a ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47108907&postcount=1
What's the big deal? Why not just use fastboot?

Thank you sir
did you know if anyone modified system.img to .zip ?

What do you mean you can't flash any ROM? Please try and be as clear as possible- if I don't understand what's going on, I can't be of much assistance.
What situation are you in? How did you get into your current situation?

So is your original system wiped? You can't boot into android anymore?

I'm so sorry sir
I have multirom manager , and by mistake I install Miui OS on the primary OS , after 10 seconds i stop it , so the primary KitKat system wiped.
Thanks to god I solved this problem by flash system.img from laptop and flash another recovery by (NRT toolkit ) than open multirom from the primary OS to reinstall last version of kernel and TWRP recovery

If you have the latest twrp you can flash img. If there is an error then the system.img must be corrupt (maybe bad download). Is your multirom up to date?

It was my understanding that you can flash any .img other than system.img. At least that's what it said in the OP of the TWRP thread when I read it the other day.

So are you up and running then?
And FYI, stop using toolkits. You should have flashed recovery the same way you flashed system.img, from your laptop with fastboot. Toolkits can cause a lot of problems and if you rely solely on them, you'll never learn how to fix any problems that you may encounter.

Oh, never actually used it, just knew you could flash img files.

To do this go to this thread> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/tutorial-bootloader-unlocking-relocking-t2332900 (after flashing you may get a bootloop so flash stock ftf to recover > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955 http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
2)You should install a recovery > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320 for this you need root > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/rootkit-xperia-l-15-3-1-17-1-click-root-t2591290 Backup your stock rom(optional) and TA(if the phone gets damaged during warranty) and copy rom zip file to sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/4-4-3-aospa-legacy-4-4-beta1-t2571273
3) In recovery Wipe cache/dalvic/art cache> Factory data reset> clean to install a new rom
4) Flash the rom and Gapps for specific rom(may not be included so google (the version of android gapps) and flash it after rom. Edit: Flashing kk is not necessary.
5) Reboot and wait for some time... Instalation takes some time... :good:
___________________________________________________________________________
6)(BONUS) If you want a good recovery like philz/twrp > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/beta-fota-cwm-one-klick-t3068084 just install an app and click install philz. The app that installs a recovery is unique. It won't be overriden by another rom's recovery and u won't have to flash tz boot.img again and again... Thumbs up if you liked my tutorial :good: I do appreciate it! And of course, if you need any help just comment here or add me on facebook.

Install the app and click philz if your bootloader is unlocked. BTW it's written in that thread that can only be installed on cm12/cm11 etc. But not on stock. If you want a recovery on stock rom try the step 2)

you should wipe cache and dalvik after flashing
and one question why is KK recommended first?

No need to wipe cache/dalvic

cm11 isnt nessasary...
cm11 overrides system and userdata partition...
cm12 does the same... so there isnt any differenz in flashing cm12 from stock or from cm11....
only thing usefull is to flash latest stock before flashing cm12 ... because other than custom roms ...stock rom will override nearly all partitions.... that means better modem...baseband ...etc... so you should come from last stock

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.

I rooted the phone using the install.bat toolkit. unlocked the bootloader using flashtool and imei on sony. flashed stock rom. then installed recovery and flashed a custom rom.
The wifi stopped working. cant even turn it on. (the date keeps reseting to 1970 on every flash btw)
Tried miui rom, cm12, stryfex roms. same issue..
I tried:
Installing a different version of flashtool
Changing wlan.ko(can't find a prima folder)
Installing a different kernel
Flashtool says error flash aborted on flashing stock ftf
(Closing TA partition
09/004/2015 19:04:30 - INFO - Parsing boot delivery

please tell me how to get wifi to work on cm12 or flash a stock ftf

After uninstalling magisk

I cannot find any stock boot img. After uninstalling magisk the phone goes into a boot loop. I have TWRP installed and the make n model of the mobile is: samsung galaxy note 5 SM-N920G
Please help

Here you go:
Download Samsung Stock ROM for all models (Latest Firmware)
Download the latest Samsung Stock ROM (original firmware) for all Samsung Smartphone and tablets with instruction manual.
androidmtk.com

how did you uninstall magisk via magisk manager app?
just restore the magisk created boot.img backup grab it via TWRP root/data/magisk_backup?????
let's just hope it not yet deleted

Did you install magisk from TWRP? Was data encrypted at that time? If yes there won't be a backup because the magisk backup is in data/adb. So twrp wouldn't be able to write the backup due to encryption. If your are stuck in a bootloop just install the firmware

Yes. So install through odin and all that? Would it work the same way?

By installing the stock firmware, you will resolve the bootloop. Just restoring the stock boot img form the firmware will also do. Just remember the next time you install magisk, format data first to temporarily disable encryption.

If you remember, in your magisk manager is ramdisk 'yes'?
Please say if it's yes or no. The process branches at this point

If ramdisk is yes, just flash the boot.img
You can extract it from the firmware

I would recommend to flash the whole firmware. Because extracting the boot img you might corrupt the boot.img and flash a corrupt img.

Update: I dont know what's wrong, I have used ODIN to install... a new recovery and Boot.img. for the model, but it is still in a bootloop.
EDIT : the original recovery has been recovered

I think you must flash to stock rom/firmware. Do you know how to do that?

Ok sorry my mistake. I didn't read your message completely. Just restoring this boot.img recovery.img doesn't seem to work. Go ahead and restore your ENTIRE firmware. All the best
