Galaxy Mini; GT-S5570
2.3.5
Gingerbread.XWKS7
While trying to flash an android mod via SD I managed to soft-brick my phone. I skipped a step or two (ROM backup and data wipe) and ended up with a phone stuck in a bootloop. I managed to flash CWM recovery v6.0.4.6. Since then I have tried to flash any and all ROMS I can find that have been developed for the GTS5570. Some of the ROMs have installed okay, some have failed or aborted. The only difference now is that the phone boots straight into recovery.
Tried to do this via laptop (using Linux Mint and Windows 10) and the phone was not recognised via usb, even with drivers.
I don't want to just give up, but I reckon I've come to that point. That is unless there is something I have overlooked.
Any and all advise welcome.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello, I'm a newbie on this android thing.
I tried to install CM 7.2 on my Galaxy Young but it turned out to be a very bad rom; Wi-Fi and camera didn't work. I finally found a good room, (or at least I think it's good) in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-y/development/rom-t2866838 but now my recovery won't work. It gets stucked and the phone restarts. I try to install a new recovery from ODIN, since the original recovery won't start and the process fails, I don't know if I'm downloading the wrong recovery or I just bricked the phone.
So, please, would you guys tell me if anything can be done? or how do I install a new recovery so I can get the rom working
Thanks in advance! Have a good night.

Hey, guys good afternoon. I have a Cubot Note S which I manage quite stupidly, to brick. The phone was rooted with KingRoot and I accidentally press to update to the latest software version from the Update Center of the phone and before it managed to complete, it showed an "ERROR" message. After that, I stuck into a boot loop. I've been searching the internet for a stock firmware of the phone in a .zip file because the Cubot has something like a stock Recovery mode, which I can boot to, to factory reset my phone, to boot into bootloader or apply an update through an sdcard etc. So far I only found a rom on needrom and it is in .rar and has many other irrelevant files in it. It has instructions below how to perform a clean flash of the ROM, but something goes wrong at the process. Either the SP-DMT (Flash Tool) doesn't work properly or my computer doesn't recognize my phone and I can't find the proper drivers for it. Has anyone ever been in this situation before with a chinese phone? Please help out with this because the cell phone belongs to a dear friend of mine and I can't afford to buy a new one these days. Thank you in advance.

Hi thanks for reading not sure if this is the correct place to post. I'm rather lost on my options and fear that I've essentially totaled my phone.
USB isn't recognized(yes I've updated drivers and confirmed my cord allows data transfer and tried with usb debugging on and off), this is a hand-me-down phone I received rooted, attempted to apply Cyanomod (successful but got the No SIM issue even though I could call and receive texts no data though) proceeded to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
However after installing the latest modem my phone went into soft brick - boot looping.
I then decided to wipe Cache - D.Cache - system - Data. After doing this over and over I accidentally wiped internal data as well (fixed this issue by buying a micro SD card today) So now I got all my .zips and roms back where I can still flash.
Still in a boot loop and have read that maybe my recovery (TWRP) could be the cause of this, seeing how I've basically wiped everything multiple times to try and get to the bottom of this.
Is there anyway I can use the Command Terminal IN TWRP to flash a newer version of TWRP ( because I had not used the latest TWRP )
If so can you please give me the command line in which I could use the .img of twrp-3.0.2-0-d2att.img and when going into the Command Terminal at what level should I select?
I really can NOT afford another phone atm and I'm very gracious for any help. I've watched and read many useless videos/articles over the last few days and can't seem to find a video that would involve not using a PC to use Odin.
P.S. - I'm also prepared to go back to stock everything if that's what's called for atm but first this boot loop is the issue. Thanks in advance.

I am using a copy version on Samsung galaxy note 4 SM N9100. i searched a lot about installing custom recoveries. I saw odin is one of the best , but couldn't use it as my device was not recognized. then used flashr to install a philiz recovery and it warned my that i have 0 mb partition or something like that. but i was not sure and pressed OK, it said success and gave a option to boot on recovery mode. i tried. But it dint load the recovery mode. at first the Samsung logo cam then restarted again. but after restarting its not detecting any of my sim cards. what can i do now. i have taken a back up before but even cant restore it as i cant go to the previous recovery mode. the reason i tried to install the custom recovery because the default recovery mode dint allow me to install zip file. please help me. I'm in a very bad position. I love my android very much
