Hi,
Phone model: Jiayu G4S 2GB/16GB MTK6592
couple of days ago my phone freezed an restarted.
then it enters bootloop.
tried to pool out the battery and restart - nothing.
Try #1 - install stock rom from recovery:
I've entered recovery mode and found out that my recovery has bug of mounting the EXT-SD so I can't copy stock rom onto the sdcard and flash it.
Try #2 - use SPFlashTools to install new recovery/new ROM:
receive error 4001 though drivers and preloader installed.
Try #3 - use fastboot flash recovery - receive error "FAILED (remoteartition 'recovery' not support flash)"
Try #4 - to copy /data folder and all the files from the internal SD to my computer in order to move to a new phone - can't see the sdcard files in my adb shell, can see them only via the recovery mode so I know they there, but when I ls the via adb shell - they are not there.
I don't want to give up, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Oren.

You may have the wrong version of CWM recovery installed. You need Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c. If you are trying to flash thru Rom manager it may have had you update to v4.0.0.4 which is not compatible with the external sdcard. If this is the case, re-install the correct recovery version, and then redo your backup so that it is on the external sdcard where it can be safe if you need to wipe/factory reset. You can use Rom manger just to reboot into recovery, or df Quick Boot from the market and use that instead.
Good luck!

Rom manager says it is 4.0.0.4 but when in recovery is say CWM recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm or Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c ( I don't remember exectly) and the error is the same.
Also, I tried reflash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.zip from the SD card and get an error.
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
Any help would be welcome.

The problem is that you can't flash anything from the external sdcard with v4.0.0.4. In rom manager, see if you can find"all clockwork recoveries" and find 3.2.0.0. If not, find 3.0.2.8 or 3.0.2.5 and flash one of them, preferably the latest of those I have listed. I think those will at least recognize your sdcard. If you can't do that, you will need to reflash the correct recovery the same way you did when you rooted. Remember, never flash a zip file through adb.
Good luck!
I tried to flash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb.
I could flash boot sector. Then I reboot into recovery and try to apply zip from card with file update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2-HTJ85B-from-HMJ37_stachre_solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip, but there is a NO at the end of the name of the file and I can't go on.
Trying to rename as update.zip and run apply zip from card results in same error:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
what should I do?
Thank you
possible bad download... download again... also, don't think this would be an update... leave it as originally named, just choose the option to choose which zip file to install from the sd card

It sounds like you are flashing recovery ok, but you keep overwriting it with the stock recovery.
Here is some important information that should help a lot with making your new recovery "stick"and this was taken from the Idiot's guide to flashing...in the Development section, and originally written by publicanimal:
4. Install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this section
Enter CWM with the following procedure
Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ...
When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. If that happens, or if you see "starting fastboot protocol " your timing wasn't right and you need to reflash the recovery image and try it again.
See original post,below for more information.

Fix:
1. download the full OTA from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...k-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881
2. also download CWM recovery.
3. after thats done, copy files from step 1 into external SD card( considering u can't get into the devices internal memory). DO NOT EXTRACT
4.boot the device into fastboot mode.
5. install CWM recovery from Step 2.
6. use CWM recovery to install files from step 1.
7. disable stock recovery IF U want(optional)
8. Restart and pray that your device WORKS.

I used the official RUU for Jewel SENSE50 4.13.651.4
(everything installs correctly and works)
2.
I used fastboot to flash twrp 2.8.6.4 (also tried 2.8.6.0 )
per - android.cmphys.c o m/twrp-jewel
Fastboot says success.
3.
I boot into recovery.
Perform a Factory reset
( No errors present and completes Successful)
4.
Install Pac Jewel Rom 20150515-044902.zip
It says successful, but it presents this line :
( detected filesystem ext 4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system )
5.
I install gapss for android 5.0 20150222-signed.zip
6.
Reboot and it hangs after installing all apps ( starting apps)
I've tried to mount /system in recovery and then wipe it. I've also tried to wipe it when it wasn't mounted.
I'm sure i've got all the drivers I need. I can use adb to open shell and browse the filesystem. Fastboot also is able to do most commands. Wouldn't allow a fastboot format system.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
You can close this sorry. I used a different gapp package and it no longer hung on starting apps.
"This package is for A0001, this device is bacon." Wiped internal storage, cant flash
Like an idiot, I accidentally wiped internal storage while trying to flash a new ROM, so all my data ( which I dont care about ) and my backup images got deleted. I still have access to TWRP so I thought it wasnt that bad and went ahead installing ROMS as I usually would.
I transferred the zip files from PC to the phone via adb push method and tried to flash
However, I an unable to install any ROM as it gives me an error every time. This is what the error message reads:
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
This package is for device: A0001; this device is bacon
E: Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/cm...(name of the rom here).zip '
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/(nameofrom).zip '
I did quite a bit of research and read on one of the official OnePlus that all the ROMs are signed for the device A0001 but the device itself reads itself as bacon, which is its codename. Since "bacon" != "A0001" the zip installation fails.
Am I stuck with an expensive paperweight here? Please help.
TLDR: Wiped internal storage, No OS, flashing throws up error every time
If you can acces TWRP, just by connecting the OPO to your PC should give you acces to storage. I guess that you are trying to install H2OS, download the fixed version with the updater-script fixed. If it gives you this error with another rom, just download another custom rom and put in on the internal storage or flash the stock OS with fastboot

Yep, inside the rom zip, there is a file called updater-script.
In this file, there is a line checking the phone name.
While most of the roms are using "bacon", H2OS original zip file uses "A0001" instead.
Can you try with any other rom?

Instead of using adb push metod try to flash stock rom (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygenos-2-1-4-for-the-oneplus-one.425544/) and then flash the rom you want.
Good luck!
Note: You will loose twrp, so you have to flash it via fasboot [fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img]
I'd suggest you to start over with a clean flash of COS13 fastboot factory image. Sounds like you are on a very old base.
Try to reboot TWRP and flash again. Or remove that check string from the updater-script.
download CM11 factory recover tool from my google drive @ https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByfGPjP5zNYSTDZZcXZpLU44Q00 and install drivers and go to fastboot and plug in the phone and run recovery tool to push default factory image then install whatever CM version you want directly
No updater-script file that I can see
Can't find that file!

use usb otg, success each time!
setup on ubuntu
Instructions for install on linux (test on ubuntu)
1- install adb :
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
2- install fastboot :
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
3- Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power. The phone will display "fastboot" text indicating that it has successfully entered fastboot mode.
4- test if the phone is detected with the cmd :
Code:
$ fastboot devices
5- unlock bootloader (/!\ it wipe the phone) :
Code:
$ sudo fastboot oem unlock
6- install TWRP :
- go to the path where is the img
Code:
$ cd path/to/twrp/folder/
- rename the image to twrp.img
Code:
$ mv old_name.img twrp.img
- flash the recovery
Code:
$ sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
/!\ Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually turn it off by pressing and holding power button until it switches off. Now to enter your newly installed custom recovery, hold volume down + power. The phone should boot into recovery mode. Now that you have a custom recovery, you may continue to the final step. /!\
7- install custom/official ROM with TWRP :
- Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset
- Install > browse to the location where you previously copied the ROM zip and select it > Swipe to confirm the installation
- Install GApps using same process as ROM, then reboot. (optionnal: the official OnePlus ROM come with GApps pre-installed)
Possible errors with official ROM :
"This package is for device: A0001; this device is bacon" or "This package is for device: OnePlus; this device is A0001" or other similar
==> go into the ROM zip file, in "/META-INF/com/google/android/" there is an "updater-script" file. Open it, locate the expression ' getprop("ro.build.product") == "A0001" ' and replace the "A0001" by the device name you have. Replace the file in the archive. Note : after that, you can't verify the official MD5 !
- example : "This package is for device: A0001; this device is bacon", the ' getprop("ro.build.product") == "A0001" ' become getprop("ro.build.product") == "bacon" '

Update TWRP Recovery
I know this is an old post, so this is here in case anyone finds it in the future and requires help...
My mate asked me to upgrade his OnePlus (original, codename Bacon) and I received this error when upgrading from LineageOS 14.1 to 15.1.
To resolve, its extremely easy - simply upgrade the TWRP recovery. My mate originally had TWRP 3.1.1.0 installed, but the latest weekly LineageOS 15.1 required v3.2.3.0 installed which resolved the error message "This package is for device: bacon, a1001. this device is ."
Either Vol+ and Power to enter bootloader, or from command line:
adb reboot bootloader (with Android USB debugging turned on. You can test for connection using command "adb devices" and if successful it should show your phone's serial number). You will need to trust the computer's connection on your phone. To get to Android USB Debugging, you need to go Settings -> Developer menu options, and if you can't see that: Settings -> About Phone and tap "Build" 7 times for developer mode to appear.
Once phone goes into bootloader mode, type:
fastboot flash recovery "path:\twrp-x.x.x.x-bacon.img" (obviously path is the directory that the recovery is stored in, and x.x.x.x will be replaced with the version you've just downloaded. At time of writing, v3.2.3.0 is the latest. You can always use "fastboot devices" if you used Vol+ and Power to enter bootloader to ensure you have a valid connection, in USB debugging mode on your phone and correct Android adb drivers installed in Windows.
Wait until it's succeeded, and turn off phone. Now go into recovery and try again - and this time you should be good to go!!!
All the above implies your bootloader is unlocked. If you need to unlock your bootloader, there are plenty of instructions telling you how to do this - but HAVE A BACKUP as unlocking your bootloader will do a factory reset on your phone.
Hope this helps someone
......mmmmmm BACON!!!
I sucessfully unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed twrp. I was using my phone today and i try to boot to twrp to flash RenovateIce rom and my twrp shows some strange symbols all folders... also on my computer is the same... When i tried to boot to system it just boot up to twrp again.. I cant boot it to my system.. Help please ...
here is screenshot from my pc:
First, you must ask on the Q&A section.
Second your files appears like that because they are crypted ( the password on your phone is used to decrypt it), and as i know (i may be wrong but yes you lost your data) but you need to delete your internal storage now for it to be able to use it like it should, so in twrp delete your internal storage, install your rom via adb sideload, boot and set up your phone and reflash twrp ( via the cmd and then via the zip)
Did you install renovate? You could try to use an otg drive to remove renovate if that is messing your system. They probably have a rescue zip on their forum. You could also try to flash bluspark twrp if that could help you get into your data. Hope you get your data back, otherwise the full format should revive your phone. Read up before (if)you try my suggestions.
hi ,i have fff*cked my op6 many times and i faced this , now go to bootloader and flash twrp from pc cmd or terminal again , boot twrp now u can enter password , good for now u can install sys again or copy your files to another sd card or pc or u can delete data and install system again or just install u can try and learn from your mistake
sorry bad english
