unsoftbrick normal vs duos version - General Questions and Answers

Hello
I think this question have already appeared somewhere before this post, unfortunately I spent some time with google without a clear result
so here is the situation:
I got a GT-I9060i duos, softbricked after I tried to factory reset it via TWRP
I'm trying now to flash stock rom again, but I cannot really find any indication if it is the monosim version or the duossim version
is the same ROM working for both of them ?
by the way, I tried to go back to recovery, but I was never able to do so by using 3combo boot, I was able to go there by ROM manager app, reboot to recovery option
thanks

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)

Thanks so much!
Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?

The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

Hi, thanks for replying. I cannot post in the topic of the rom because I am new on the forum (what I get when I try to post something overthere).
Could you please explain me how to fix the permissions in CWM?
I am a beginner who been trying to fix his tablet for a week now, but I still dont understand everything since I cant put all my time on it... If its not about following tutorials step by step, i am lost...
I also tried the fast team one, without any success, when the rom is installed and the device is rebooted, this time the screen stay blocked on "samsung galaxy tab3" for years!!!
sorry, i meant the fast dream rom
I just tried to Flash three roms from sammobile.com (one from hong-kong, one from spain and one from germany) through Odin.
Everytime I get I click on AP to load the rom on odin, I get this message:"md5 error! Binary is invalid".
Since I have rooted the tablet using odin to instal CWM, when I boot the tablet in download mode, I can see:
- PRODUCT NAME: SM-T311
- CURRENT BINARY: Cusom
- SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

You should be able to post on ROM forum now(as you've reached 10 posts.
And the fix permissions option should be in 'advanced' section in CWM(not sure, I use TWRP recovery)

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...
(Does it show the CWM hat logo in the background?)

Actually, yea its the stock recovery, so should i reroot the phone to install CWM, make a backup just in case, flash another stock rom which i find better, and then try to flash this one in recovery mode?

Yup, I think you'd better to start over again. Try take a look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401901
It works well for my SM-T311 :good: Then you can reroot and make a backup from TWRP easily.
I also suggest you to take a look at this too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522091 From there, you can get PhilZ touch recovery based on CWM v.6.0.4.5

[$20-donation giveaway] p5110 cannot go back to stock . Stuck in cm10.1

Hi guys. i've been searching and trying to solve this problem for the past two weeks. can't fcking deal with it anymore. $20 for anyone that can help me , PLEASE!
p5110 here. had cm10.1 working for more than 1 year. when i updated to cm.10.3-rc2 , problems appeared.
Tried flashing stock firmware via odin. Says successfull but still in cm10.3 after reboot. boots up , however, it reboots after 1-3 mins.
tried flashing different roms, error.
Please, how can i revert back to stock or any working state ???
thanks,
alex
Anyone ?!
Try installing Clockworkmod (newest version) and then flash the stock firmware with that. Be sure to clear cache and dalvik cache first, and also factory reset (all through clockwork mod)
Latest official CWM won't help as it's to old for anything (stopped at 6.0.2.7 if i am not wrong), better use latest TWRP.
But: it sounds like your emmc got read only because it reached end of lifetime.
Indicator for that:
- flashing a different recovery via Odin doesn't change the recovery - it still boots the old.
- factory reset inside recovery doesn't change anything
Only way i know to get back write access would be to update the emmc firmware via JTAG. If there's no one with a JTAG near your place, replacing the emmc will be the solution.
GT-P5110 16 GB or 32 GB?
What recovery (also recovery version) are you using?
Using a custom kernel?

Greetings and welcome to assist. The easiest way to install stock recovery is to reinstall a stock rom but twrp won't be causing your bootloop. I would try doing a factory reset first and if that doesn't work reflash a rom through twrp
Good Luck
