Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm looking for someone who can help me with step by step to uhh... fix my phone. It's a Lenovo s650 and I have tried to flash it via fastboot, but to no avail. And because of that, I'm here now. Please take a note that I'm not that good with these things so please bear with me. Anyhow, the phone is now kinda retarded. You know those pop ups, saying that something has stopped working, yeah... basically, I'm getting spammed by em'. So, there's no time really for me to do anything on the phone like going to the settings or even changing the usb mode to debugging without being bombarded by em' every sec. Thus, the reason why I want to flash it. (cause I think flashing is like turning them back to beginning, like after a reset?) Oh, and before that I have already tried hard reset. That, of course, didn't work. :crying:
Please help
P.S. Sorry if something is wrong with my English. But I hope it's adequate enough for you guys to understand what I'm trying to say.

Hey, I'm new to the forum and I came here to desperately seek help on saving my tablet's life.. So It's obvious that I'm new to flashing too because today I tried to upgrade my android version to Froyo with Rockchip tools, I held down power + home buttons, I plugged in the usb, I installed the drivers and the program recognized my tablet. So I began flashing but at the middle of the process an error message came up that said something like: "can't continue flashing, restart process" or something like that, so when I unplugged the usb to restart the process, first I tried to boot my device and found out it could no longer boot neither it could be detected from my computer in flashing mode!! Plss tell me how can I fix this, my mom's gonna kill me..
Oh and I forgot to mention that afterwards I realised that the rom was actually not meant for my device ^^
PS I'm very sorry if I posted in the wrong place or if I seem pretty noob but it's kinda.. true Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
hmm... it might help if you tell people which tablet & model you are trying to fix
people here might be developer, might be techie, but i doubt any of us are mind reader

Well it's a Prestigio Multipad 5070 and the rom.. well I downloaded an android froyo rom from the Prestigio site but it was for another model..
I am Pretty sure that I bricked my phone completely and I am in such a panic that I can't even concentrate on searching through different threads to fin a solution let alone trying to understand them (I'm a Nooby) can someone please help me.?? I was trying to root my phone through the all in one toolkit and at first I had soft bricked it but trying to fix that I think I full on bricked it!!! PLEASE help me..
With a post like that, I don't guess you'll get many replies. Since you are a noob (why are you flashing your phone then?), I'd suggest you look in the dev section for the thread containing RUU for your phone. This should allow you to reflash back to stock via your PC where I'd suggest you stay until you do some more research.
Post exactly what you did and what happened. "I bricked my phone" doesn't tell us much.
Alright, Im going to be completely honest. I am a complete and total noob to the tech behind smartphones. As Ive been learning, I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy SII SCH-R760X, and after I attempted to flash a kernel that was suggested by this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/how-to-root-galaxy-sii-sch-r760-generic-t1928566, my phone is now stuck at the logo with a warning sign at the bottom. After all this, I realized I made the worst possible mistake anyone could ever make: I didnt backup my system. Luckily, I didnt have much data on it anyway. At this point I am aware it has become a softbrick, and Ive looked at guides such as this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/guide-fix-unflashable-soft-bricked-t1619571, but it still tells me to "put the recovery file in its place". Im assuming he's talking about the backup... which i dont have. If anyone could point me to where I can find a backup for it, or upload one for me, I would be incredibly in debt to you. Thank you for reading, I know how most people feel about noobs, but I dont know where else to go.
Please, if I am doing something wrong with this post, please tell me. I dont want to be an annoyance. In fact, this is my first time ever posting to a forum! Id love to get into smartphone tech, however, since I couldnt find a place to start, I made the foolish choice of simply diving in and ruining my phone (hopefully not permanently). Anyway, thank you for reading! Even if you cant help, I really appreciate the attention. Thanks!

You have already found good threads.
To recover a soft-bricked device, you basically have to flash back an official firmware for your device.
The guide you found was for the GT-I9100G, which is a little bit different from your exact device model.
Here is another guide for other variants of the S2: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED) by Phistachio.
As there is no "ready-to-go" recovery package available for your device model, you have to get an official/stock firmware for your device.
A link to possible firmware sources is in the first post of the guide you posted.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin should fix the soft-brick.
If not, maybe a wipe data (= factory reset) in recovery mode (long press Volume UP + HOME + POWER) is needed additionally.
And rooting your device seems to be working with this too: [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices by alephzain ... I found some users confirming it working fine to root your device model.
If you still have issues and need further help, please ask in the [Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread by It_ler thread.
There we try to give detailed help for all variants of the S2.
Good luck !
Thanks for responding man! I didnt think anyone would reply.
I really appreciate the help. However, I downloaded and flashed the droiddroidz kernel turner78 said to flash, and that was what made my phone go softbricked in the first place... I tried flashing the other two kernels instead, and they proceeded to put my phone in bootloop... So, I tried flashing the "Siyah" stock kernel everyone was talking about, and it made this weird eye thing with a yin-yang flash on my phone... And Im sorry Im a total noob, I just recently learned what flashing and kernels were from the help of google :/... Im still a little lost on what Roms are. But reguardless, Im assuming the kernels I tried flashing were incompatible or corrupted, and thats whats making my phone not work. If Im wrong, correct me please. I know my phone is version 1.4.1, but thats about it. I dont know if its "Gingerbread" or "jellybean" or whatnot. Im sure Ive just made a stupid mistake and Im too dumb to know how to fix it.

Hi, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I'm interested in what you mean by "crushed." Sounds like something physical was done to it.
At any rate, unfortunately, we currently do not have a forum (or a tag) for your device. but there is a general-purpose thread. Please go ahead and register for an account, so you can post i other forums. From there, you will probably have best luck with the foll.owing thread:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Yeah, it sounds like the internal memory got borked, and without adb your options are quite limited.
As mentioned before, I would explain your predicament in the above thread (I see you have posted there already, can just edit the post to add the predicament). There won't be much of an audience, but it is better than the general help thread (and you have the advantage of bouncing ideas off someone who has the same device as you).
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

i have one more question again if you might know it. Today i got one of my friends phone(same as mine) and i did a back up work from system recovery mode and then used it to restore on my phone but an error occured again saying 'checksum compare fail' when i tried to restore the back up file. And by the way i am not sure how to use the ADB so can u help me send an easy steps to use it? Or maybe a link to it will be good enough.
With all my heart i thank you for your kind support.

Not sure about the checksum compare fail (sometimes backups are specific to the serial number of the device), but here is info on adb:

Hello everyone,
Ok here is the deal... My J320P has been running strong, it has TWRP, with 3 good recoveries that I can't use at all and Xposed framwork and from there it keeps on with the modules, but all that stopped because I wanted to try something the trick the system involving me to shut off Dev options and OEM.. Bad idea. Didn't take them long, and bam.. I got custom binary locked from the start of the power button. Is there any thing I can do to keep from flashing everything stock? I have done it before.. Just hoping there is a way that doesn't allow internal storage deletion/formatting? Because I hear it not possible to in my case with the mistake I had made in turning the 1st step off in rooting lol. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
