Help with a chinese model phone, A101, deleted /system/bin/sh..

Hello all,
Firs I like to apologies if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum.
As the title says, I have a Iglo A101 with GingerBread 2.3.4 phone and I accidently deleted the system/bin/sh file.
I was searching for a2sd and I downloaded it, but when running it, instead of pressing 1 - "install a2sd" I pressed 2 "uninstall a2sd", by mistake, and by the time I realized the sh file was deleted. Now the phone is no longer rooted and can't be rooted and also my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I've search the net for answer but I can't find a solution to this type of phone.
Could someone help me fix this or at least get the Wi-Fi working again?
Thanks in advanced...

OK, I've manage to contact the retailer and he gave me what appears to be the all system files, as now I have a rar containg system.img userdata.img recovery.img etc etc. How do I install this files, because he doesn't appear to know either. I tried from the recovery mode using install update.zip from sdcard but it give's me invalid OTA package and I can't find an answer on how to flash a img file from recovery mode...

Does the device have fastboot? If so the files need to flashed using fastboot. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img.
If your device does not have fastboot then you will need to extract the system.img and make a flashable .zip so you can flash through CWM or whatever your recovery is. If you are using stock recovery then I eexpect you will either need to find a solution or send it off for repair. I will have a look into helping you get your device back up and running but I cant promise to succeed. Give me a few days and I will report back with any solutions or info to get you on your way to fixing your device.

I have stock recovery 3e. I tried to make an update.zip but I keep getting invalid OTA Package..
Here is the build.prop, sorry for my late response

And here is the one that is on my phone, I've manage to get it using jota text editor. Some how that application can still see some system files, but it can't write..

hi
i had similar problem on this device a101 i did not delete any folder but by rooting the device my wifi and Bluetooth stoped working.i solved the problem by the factory menu.....have you tried it?

i did factory reset, but since there a system file missing it doesn't solve it..Can't there be a way to create an update.zip package with the sh file and then apply like an update from recovery? I've been trying to understand what does invalid OTA package mean, I think if that would be solved then I could easily put the file back...

i think you need spb launcher
i have to admit i used it only ones before for china 5388 there i needed com + usb cable here you need just a normal cable us the boot on this phone is different i have all you need give me email i will send to you. i have scater for a101 file too.i never used it but i have.Us i said my phone work ok after reset from factory mode

still nothing?

If you have the system.img image, you can try to flash it in the phone with SP Flash Tool,

[Q] Please help me step by step for a custom ROM?

Hi guys,
I really need help on this, and i am hoping very much someone can be patient with me as i try to install a custom ROM on my HTC Desire S.
The BIGGEST problem i am facing is getting command text correct in the command window, i am using Windows 7 home premium on a laptop, the previous posts i read and followed were all saying put this in the command and put that in the command but none of them were correct and my computer kept saying wrong!
I am currently at the stage where i have visited HTC Dev and i have sucessfully gone through the procedure for unlocking the bootloader, i found this difficult to do, command prompts they gave were wrong i had to change paths, and i was missing certain .dll files on my computer too, which HTC did not mention i would need, but here i am after days of messing about and trying all sorts of commands, with a unlocked bootloader, with S-ON and running a Vodafone stock rom of Gingerbread Android version 2.5.3.
My phone is Vodafone branded i wish to remove all of their branding and apps, and install a plain unbranded ROM.
However, i need step by step instruction, i can not do this from threads that say "follow this here (link to another thread) which then links to another and another, i ended up with i think 15 tabs in the browser open, with conflicting advice, conflicting information, mistakes, and a whole lot of jargon that i did not understand, so what i really am hoping for is firstly links to all the software or downloads that i will need first, direct link to the rom, the backup, and anything else, if anyone needs info from my phone to pinpoint a specific rom i am happy to give it, i do not mind another HTC rom as long as its plain with no carrier apps or branding on it, then once i have got all the downloads sorted out i can start from there.
Please help me out i have been at this for days and getting nothing except confused.
Many thanks! :good:

I have found this quite up to date guide which is very easy to follow, are the rom and all the downloads OK for a UK phone?
I have hboot 200. 0002 as well as S-ON so i believe its the same, i can follow this one quite easy is it ok to do??
Also, while flashing this rom and recovery image, should i have SDK tools open on my computer??
And another thing, i noticed while extracting the recovery image that it just says recovery, should i rename it to recovery.img or leave it as it is? Because the command prompts are saying "recovery.img" and not just "recovery"?????
Thanks.

First you need to get in Folder Options in your WIN 7 Control Panel.There's option in View tab called " Hide extension for known file types". Uncheck that option and click ok.Then you will see extensions for all files on you win 7.This will show you extension of recovery.Should be .img.
Then you can follow that guide.I used the same one.
You need to get newest recovery.There are TWRP and 4ext for HTC Desire S.They are up to date.Do a little search and read posts and info.
Check post about panels (Hitachi or Sony)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524.Again search for that in HTC Desire S forum here.When you check all of that you can try any custom ROM but always backup nandroid.
Little hint : If you want to start CMD window in any folder first open that folder hold SHIFT and right click on empty space.You will get command there named Open command window here.Click on that and you can work.
GL.If you need more help ask here again.

Thanks mate, i will do what you advise, good trick about opening command in a folder
I will ask if i get any questions then cheers

OK i have a question straight away, it says in the tutorial:
Copy the rom onto the SD card, then it says copy the boot.img onto the android C folder - SO -
Do i first extract the boot.img and copy it to the C android folder AND copy the same boot.img onto my SD card, as well as the meta info and other stuff?
OR do i copy the boot.img onto the C drive only, and copy everything else onto the SD card?
A little confused here on what to do.
Thanks for any help.

Copy the rom onto the SD card, then it says copy the boot.img onto the android C folder

You do exactly that. You place the rom into the sd card, and you copy the boot.img into the said folder.
This is because you are "unlock s-on", the recovery isn't able to flash the boot.img, so you have to do it manually.
Remember, even after you flash the rom, if you did not flash the boot.img the phone will NOT fully boot.
*also, the guide says to turn the phone off after flashing the rom and boot into the bootloader. I dont think this is necessary, you can just reboot the phone into bootloader from the recovery itself.

So, just to clarify, i copy the whole .zip onto the SD card (including boot.img) and then re copy the boot.img into my Android folder on the computer (i will then have boot.img on BOTH the SD card and the C Android folder, this is where i am getting confused, i intend to start flashing today sometime.
OK i am going to flash Reaper V.4 rom and 4EXT as recovery, if anyone has better suggestions on a safe rom please let me know i will flash that instead.
Thanks.

You can try other roms when you try that.There's a lot of nice and smooth editions. First try reaper you have it now.
With S-ON you have to flash boot.img in fastboot after you install rom from recovery.That's why you need to copy it in android-tools folder.Whole zip goes on sd and you backup old rom from recovery, wipe everything except sd (wipe is recommended) and then install from zip in recovery.After that reboot in bootloader then flash boot.img from fastboot.Reboot and wait.Should be in in few min.No more then 10.Follow the guide.

Any idea what i am doing wrong here? I do have recovery.img in my Android folder, but its not in the android tools folder, should i be putting it in the adt bundle folder rather than leaving it outside of it?

jmcclue means you need to download gapps for your android.That will be in zip and you install it through recovery just like rom.Most of custom rom require that step.Copy zip on SD,boot in recovery and flash from zip.Reboot and you will get google apps.
This guide is for HTC Desire S and you can find most of things you need but for roms follow Android Development in HTC Desire S on XDA.

fastboot is controlled by the bootloader, the rom can't affect it in any way. The option "fast boot" in HTC Sense roms is something else, that sort of hibernates the phone instead of powering off, so the phone "boots fast".

Thanks guys i will go aheah and do these

2) You haven't unzipped the image-hammerheadxxx.zip that contains the images :/

but I have I followed the instructions to a T and put all file in the folder under platform tools

Not sure what instructions you've followed. Either they're incomplete or you made a mistake. Like I said, your screenshot shows a zip file. You need to unzip that in the location that it is in now

I have similar issues. Mine complains that the archive doesn't contain boot.sig and recovery.sig, and then it fails to allocate space and the update package missing system.img.
Going to do it manually now to see if it works

[VS995][Oreo][Stock] OTA 20a Bin (Direct link from Verizon CDN)

Here's the direct link for the 20a Oreo OTA update bin file used for LG V20 VS995. Not sure if it's of any use, just wanted to have some fun trying to find it
https://cdn.vzwdm.com/LG_VS995_1CA_20a_03.bin
If anyone finds a way to extract the contents let me know. Can't figure it out :/
If you already have TWRP and want a flashable zip, have a look at NotYetADev's post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-verizon-lg-v20-stock-oreo-rooted-t3845669

Thank you for posting this!!!
Change the file extension to .up, then the oreo upgrade can be flashed using the LGUP tool!
0) Make sure your phone already has the 1CA update
1) Connect your phone via USB and select the "File Transfer" mode
2) Run LGUP
3) Select the FOTA option and select the LG_VS995_1CA_20a_03.up file
4) Upgrade!

And thank you for that little piece of info. I didn't know LG UP could flash OTA bin files. That is another attack vector

I need you to sniff flashing that. Are you at all familiar with USB packet capture? I would flash it, but I have nothing to flash it on.
If not, I can walk you though it.
This file is not signed, it appears to have an unlock key. By unlock key -- I mean a key that unlocks lafd so that it will flash anything.
Now none of this matters on the V20, but for folks that have other LG devices, it will help out a LOT.

How do you know the file isn't signed? I assumed it had the same type of validation as the KDZ files.
I'd be happy to share a USB capture, is that something wireshark can do?
---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------
I'm sure there is some magic hash hidden somewhere in the file. I'll see if it's possible to flash an edited .up file.

I guess I should rephrase that. It isn't signed in the normal way that a KDZ is signed -- with a SIGN payload. There are hashes for the partitions, but there doesn't appear to be anything to check the integrity of the file itself.
I am still tearing it apart, but without seeing a packet capture of LG UP flashing it, it is kinda pointless. If I had to guess, this file is flashed using RSVD IDDD (indirect flashing). If that is the case, having a full dump of exactly how that is done would be awesome.
Maybe I am wrong, and there is some other opcode that I have no idea what it does that sends a signature that I don't recognize -- because I have never seen it.
EDIT: sorry, I guess I should link to the instructions. You actually don't have to install Wireshark (unless you want to look at the capture): link.
If you install USBPcap using those instructions, then you will be left with Wireshark compatible pcap files that you can zip up and send to me (do NOT post them publicly, they will contain info that is specific to your device).
EDIT2: OK, just digging a little more and there is a zip contained within the file that is signed (the same way a normal OTA update.zip is signed). However, lafd doesn't have those keys, and has no way to deal with a signed zip. That only comes into play when flashed through stock recovery -- so the question remains, how does LG UP get this file onto the phone without verifying its integrity? Again, just to be clear, there ARE hashes that verify the partitions being flashed aren't corrupt. However, there doesn't appear to be anything to prevent modifying the file, and then modifying the hashes to match when flashed through laf -- recovery most definitely verifies the integrity of the file.

Need help, looking for LG lmx210wm.kdz for qfil revival.

Anyone can help me find the KDz for the LG K9, Canadian variant lmx210wm? Bricked it trying to crossbreed firmwares, and now need the original lmx210wm firmware so I can build a working qfil folder.. Any help would be greatly appreciated

****After an extensive search, i came up empty handed in finding firmware for lm-x210wm. the site exists on the LG website, but the firmware isn't downloadable. i would contact LG ... there were some other models listed, but i'm not sure if they're compatible with your system.
no luck in finding anything on 3rd party sites either, sorry****
I used the lg firmware exttaction.tool. lg-firmware-extract-tool ... Not able to post the link bcz of site restrictions.
If available, it should offer the kdz file, a way to extract the dz file and finally the bin files. Merging the system files yields a system.img file.
I didn't have luck w magisk and this file and don't know a way to convert just the boot.bin file to img.
**EDIT: renaming the boot.bin file to boot.img & then using the platform-tools and using the command
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img (Finanly got my system rooted. supposedly the same method works w/ twrp, but that didn't throw an error and frankly i'm sick of working on this phone ... day 3.) ****
Twrp isn't compatible w my sys and no one click root methods work.
As your model is close to mine, lmx210cm ... I imagine you're going to have the same luck. No custom recovery and just a root.
****EDIT: Good luck and send me a pm if ya can figure out a way to convert bin to img. Hopefully, you will have better luck w the system.img. RESOLVED****
If there are multiple versions, start off w the ver closest to your security update. My info was in about/software.

Thank you very much sir. Appreciate all your effort. I'm close now I just have to finish editing the raw program XML file and start trying all these fire hose versions. I'm still not even sure if it's an 8909 or 8917. (
