I have some random Chinese made tablet that I have tried and failed at to find firmware for (posted here as well and no one else could find it either). My problem is that the device is stuck in a boot loop from a bad android install file (I believe as the boot loop happens during the OS install phase)
My question is if I can extract the firmware from the device can I manually fix the android install file?
My device is a Infinity 9" Tablet (infintytablets is the website)

Hello,
You need to flash the stock firmware for your device in order to fix the boot.

Hello,
Do you mean an application when you said Bad Android install?
If you have adb, you can just remove it.
You can also try to contact your OEM someway if they have stock firmware for your device.

When I received the device I turned it on and it started the android setup once it got to the part to restart the tablet it went into the loop so I assume it's a bad OS install file.
Contacted the OEM they are worthless and won't give me the firmware to flash it.
So I'm trying to think outside the box here before I trash it. I saw somewhere online that I can possibly extract the firmware from the device so I was wondering if it was possible to extract it and repair it myself

If your device wont boot and you do not have a custom recovery the only thing you can try is adb. Try type in terminal adb pull /system/
it will only work if usb debugging was enabled I think
Good luck

Hi guys.
So today I was like experimenting with my phone (3 months old) and I was trying to install new ROM on it. I couldn't install custom ROM (CM 11.0) from my recovery mode because I was always getting some sort of errors so I took it to the next level and tried to do it with my PC. I downloaded ROM on PC and tried to install it with fastboot mode and the program that I downloaded on my PC asked me to flash .img file not .zip and I(dumbass) found boot.img inside of .zip file and selected only that boot.img file and flashed it. And now its stuck in boot loop.
My phone is not really famous and its not brand phone. It's "H18 NOA C24" some copy of S3 Mini I couldn't find the stock firmware or ROM for it on the internet. Please help, tell me what can I do to bring my phone back to live.
Thanks
Hi,
So what happened is you just flashed a kernel which probably isn't compatible with current ROM
Unfortunately I can't find anything about your device here so I would ask your question in the q&a section here and hope someone will have a fix for you

Hi, smart XDA Developers,
I just installed root about 2 months ago to my tab, and installed cwm with rom manager. However, I installed the wrong version of cwm and it never booted again. I thought my tab was in hard-brick mode. I searched Google, Naver, and even Baidu for informations of mbn or hex file of my tab. I tried to install the David's rom 5.1.1, but I failed at installing the cwm. Is there anyway to fix my problem? I have the original 4.4.2 P605K rom in my computer. Sorry for my poor English, and written from my iPhone in PM 8:41, December 2nd.
P.s. I'm quite busy. If you have time, send me the solution with email ([email protected]) or comments if you want.
Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you install the original stock firmware through odin you can then re root and flash the correct recovery. Can you still get download mode and does your pc recognise your tablet ?
You can use updato here

to obtain the correct rom for your tab

THAnks for your support, but my tab can't get in to download mode or anything. My computer recognizes my tab as QHSUSB_BULK , and I can't see anything but the black screen when I press the power button.

If your pc recognises the phone that is something but not being able to get into download mode is worrying. There are only 3 things I can suggest
Mskips toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...olkit-unified-android-toolkit-galaxy-t2998214
or if you still have root then you maybe able to flash twrp through flashify from thr playstore or you can try flashing stock rom for your device through mobile odin
If none of these work then try asking your question here

Hello, i am new on this forum. I need help with my Huawei Honor 5x since it's not working anymore.
Some months ago i rooted the phone by following step by step this tutorial i found in this forum (here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190) and everything went well. But yesterday, after an update of the firmware Huawei (i think it was an EMUI update) the phone won't let me access anymore, it doesn't show any keyboard to digit the password and it doesn't recognize my fingerprint, plus it says my SD card is damaged, but to make sure of it i tried it on a PC and everything it's okay, the SD card works and nothing is really damaged.
So i tried to plug in the phone to the PC through a usb cable but since i am unable to access into the phone to autorize the usb option, it doesn't let me do anything and i can't even see the folder to acess on the phone through PC.
Now the only things i can do with the phone is:
1. Open the TWRP main screen.
2. Open the Huawei eRecovery screen, but without being able to connect to the WI-FI and so without being able to try to recover the phone through it.
3. Open fastboot.
Now, to be honest, i am not an expert so i have no idea about what to do, i need a huge help about how to solve the problem please.

Yes you can go back to stock using fastboot/spflashtools but that will remove your twrp recovery. If you download stock firmware from their website you can install it through either of those methods. If you choose to flash a Rom through twrp you will keep custom recovery and root. The good thing about that is you can make a back-up try different roms and then just restore.
Why not ask in the device forums, the experts there will give you plenty of help

I really dont know what should i do now, thank you so much guys.
Can you talk us through the steps you did.
Is usb debugging enabled?
You may be able to use the samsung flashing software to recover but if you missed 1 or maybe 2 steps and have now wiped the device fully then you need to RMA. No os then no proof of your actions for a warranty claim to be rejected
enter download mode and flash firmware from Odin3

Im really sorry but i was actually not hard bricked, i thought i was hard bricked and i eventually got it turned on, so here is the whole story, i was about to root my phone and i watched a tutorial on how to but for some reason i trusted myself and didnt watch the video so i got into this situation, i enable USB debugging and OEM unlock( it deletes all of my files like a factory reset) i didnt know that i have to paste the magisk and the magisk apk to my phone and i flashed the bootloader thing from the tutorial i watched and then after that i decided to watch the tutorial and to my surprise the tutorial paste the magisk, so i panicked, i dont know what to do and i thought i was stucked at the downloading process so i decided to search more while panicking and i found that tenoshare Reiboot and Ult has this feature that will exit you to the downloading and now i tried them both but it failed, and i panicked more because now my phone just wont stop bootlooping so i just decided to drain its battery because its built in, i also tried flashing twrp but it cause me more panicking because it kind of glitches more so good thing i tried to go to downloading again by connecting to a pc and it worked, and the good thing is that the file i downloaded has a recovery flashable thing so i flashed it again, i escaped the teamwin bootloop and now i tried researching more causing me to figure it and i think i need to download the firmware again, but here is my biggest problem, i dont know the original place of the phone(i only know the country because its like a phone given only to me) i also dont know what is the original patch security of my phone( idk if its safe to just download the latest of the firmware) thank you for any advice

All you need is the correct firmware for your specific model number for your specific region/carrier and the firmware must have a binary that is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware. The binary is indicated by the 5th character from the right in the firmware build number. Find that character in the build number of your currently installed firmware and compare it to the same character in the build number of the firmware that you want to flash. If the binary of the firmware that you want to flash is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware then you can safely flash it, if the binary is lower than the binary of your currently installed firmware, you will not be able to flash the firmware that has a lower binary.
