Hello all!
Please, if someone can provide the stock rom for this device, the one that I can flash using stock recovery, I would really highly appreciate...
My device is bricked, and fastboot is not working. I have tried all the drivers out there, but simply, once in bootloader mode, device is not accessible...ADB is wokring however....
Stock ROM is my only hope...
Thanks!!
Update:
I managed to flash CWM using RKandroidtool, but I can not jump into recovery.It is pretty much stuck so if somebody could at least export kernel.img and system.img I would really appreciate ..or provide fool upgrade firmware img
Hi,
I've been using the same old rom for a year or so (slim rom or sth). Lately i tried updating it to something else, but I get this when I start installing rom in TWRP: Error executing updater binary in zip (...). It works the same way every rom i tried.
UPDATE:
Kinda looks like i can install slim rom 4.3 (so i suppose i could install any 4.3), but none of 4.4 works.
Best regards.
Tried to flash CWM recovery from rommanager app, but it said "Failed to flash recovery...".
please help
Download latest recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/crespo-philz-touch-t2284670
Then try to flash the ROM. It seems your recovery is very old.

@smit.sanghavi is right.
You need KitKat compatible Recovery. Update your recovery and then try to flash the ROM.
K guys, wanted to try all you said, but there's another problem.
I discovered my nexus isn't rooted. Bootloader unlocked, but any root checker says its unrooted (of course it was before...). So I'm trying to reroot it but when im connecting my phone via usb in bootloader windows 7 doesn't recognize the device. When the phone is connected in recovery or in normal usb debugging mode it recognizes it as adb android, looks good to me. I go back to booloader and i get "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" in Devices.
Installed the drivers on few different ways.
So.... what now ?
UPDATE: solved
Hey, so I installed newest oxygenOS 2.1.4 for oneplus one which cames with its own recovery...I want to go back to cm12.1, don't have backup so I want clean and fresh installation. Now I am not sure what is the best method to do it without problems or bricking my phone, alot of people are bricking their phones when reverting back to cm12.1.
I want to know few things and can't find it on web, can I flash TWRP recovery without problems? Saw posts where people get into bootloops when doing this. Should I download fastboot zips and install it via adb or flashable zips and install it with recovery. If I choose flashable zip than I need to download kernel and modem also right? Or if I choose fastboot zips and don't install TWRP, would there be any problems because right now I see oneplus logo when I am in fastboot so I assume its their version and people said its buggy and flashing ROM with it is like playing russian roulette.
This is so confusing to me and I can't find those answers in flashing guides.
I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 to go back to 12.1 than installed custom ROM
After hours of reading and doing stuff I know a lot and can do a lot thx to this lovely forum!
after a lot of trying I unlocked the bootloader but got infinite loading on boot. (which if I understand correctly is not a big deal, just put recovery CMW on it and install custom rom right?)
But for the life of me I can not put an recovery like CMW on it... can somebody please give me a file (IMG or simular) a tool and the method how to put a recovery on my Xperia L? (I can not access the phone normally with the infinite loading screen when I start the phone) ( I can use fastboot en flashboot with flashtool)
After a recovery like CMW is on the phone I can do the further steps myself to install thunderzap and an custom rom on it myself. The phone is bootloader unlocked with flashtool.
Thank you in advance! I love this forum ^^
This is the tool I used for the unlocking of the bootloader

Ok now download this stock FTF: 15.3.a.1.17, flash it using flashtool (the tool you used to unlock bootloader). Now you fixed the bootloop. After that root the phone again, download this app, install cwm and install any custom rom you want.http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/app-recoveries-recovery-installer-t3187915 also find instruction on how to flash stock FTF using flashtool.
Thank you for helping out man, I appreciate it!
I tryed to flash back C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE, but it didnt work. Is there a reason why is has to be that specific stock rom that you suggested? I got mobile model C2105 does that matter?
Unlocking the bootloader is the same as rooting? (I read a lot of text and to me that wasnt very clear)

No, you have to flash 15.3.A.1.17 because when you install custom roms, wifi will only work if you came from that FTF. Find that ftf of c2105, unlock bootloader is not rooting, unlock bootloader allowes you to change kernel, install custom roms... While rooting means you can play around with the system. Just flash that FTF, root the phone again and install the recovery installer app which I gave you the link. In case flashtool not working, you can try uninstall it and install a lower version (0.9.11). It works for me.
Thx it worked like a charm! Now only I have to find a solid super stable custom rom Android 4.4 or above. Anyone got any recommendations? ^^
Stryflex is good, its 5.1.1 cyanogen mod based. The 4.4 roms have rly annoying bugs of you want you can try out CM 11 (the free xperia ones are the most stable in my opinion but still has bugs here is 4.4 link : http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/ )You can also try one of the cyanogen mod nightlys. RR also worths a try. I personally recommend you stryflex. Here a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-stryflex2013266073-lp-official-sony-t3178049 . The problem with most ROMs is the battery drain. Good luck ! :good:
@noobp yes stryflex LP Ultimate V4.0 is awesome. I'm currently using it. A tip, if you install stryflex, you should not install gapps because gapps makes rom slow and freeze(you can get apps from apkmirror). I dont recommend 4.4, try any Lollipop roms and above, not all of them have battery drain.
Thx for the proposed roms. I like stability, battery life, speed, functionality in that order. I gladly give up everything except stability and battery life!
I have a problem trying to install a cuatom recovery.
I have bootloader unlocked, also root.
But, I can't install any custom recovery. i have tried install by different ways without success.
I have tried installing TWRP Manager app, but in the middle of the installation "something was wrong" message appears.
I tried with twrp.img and installig through Terminal emulator. With this method apparently is OK, but at reboot, it is the stock recovery.
Tryimg with a couple PC programs, through ADB, I had the same result.
When I did unlock the bootloader I got an infinity initial screen (the coloured "smoke" screen).
After that, I flashing the .14 stock ROM and tried that.
After, I flashed .17 and tried all that again, but custom recovery don't want to be installed. Any solution?
Pd: sorry fory bad English

Try THIS if you are on stock ROM.
If you need recovery just to install Android 6.0 custom ROM then I suggest you to extract that ROM's zip and flash boot.img using flashtool or ADB.

The problem is that I can't install any recovery.
The other solution, flash boot.img, how can I do that?
Flashtool only let me flash .sin files, right? I can't see an option to flash any .img file
By the way, thanks for answer
Edit:
Yeeeah! TWRP installed from Flashtool! I had to extract boot.img from a 6.0 ROM and install it from flashtool.
Now I'm flashing TurboRom 6.0 .
Thank you very much!

i'm pretty new to flashing roms so sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't find the answers somewhere else
I'm trying to install blissmallow (unless someone sais another would be better, i don't know much about 3/4 different roms i found for it) on my P5110 tablet, it worked but i had no sound. In that thread i found that you need to first have the stock rom flashed on it and tehn blissmallow for it to work.
I found this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668) with stock roms but there are alot of listings and versions for the P5110, is there a specific one i need or can i use any version for this to work? Some also have a kernel download link, what is that for? does that also need flashing (and if so before/after)?
When flashing with stock can i flash this from TWRP one after the other (stock rom, blissmallow and gapps in one go)?
any help would be much apreceated
Why flash outdated roms when you can find newer roms in he unified section? You can find LOS 13, Slim 6, Resurrection Remix, and more roms which have updated security patches. Roms in the unified section are both compatible with the 7 inch and 10 inch models
To flash stock, you need odin, and your rom. Youcan find them on updato or sammobile. Select your region and flash that to your tab
P.S. most roms dont need you to flash stock first. You just need to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik then flash the zip along wih your gapps.
thanks for the info, i tried blissrom because it seemed good, i'm pretty new to it and didn't realize it is outdated. Thanks for pointing that out, i'll take a look at the others you mentioned

no need to flash a stock rom, because you are on stock. stock rom means the original samsung firmware.
