[Completed] [Q] Problem with backup

Hello.
I have a problem ..... ¬_¬ obvious ... I made a backup of the phone with droidtools, but I did not create the "user data.img", "cache.img", "system.img" files .
And now I can not restore my phone. :crying::crying::crying:
And I've searched a lot, but there is no rom for my phone.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance :good:
Note: Translated from Spanish by Google .....

Hola,
Bienvenidos a XDA.
If you were still on stock when you created your backup and you want stock back you can reflash your stock firmware via PC with whatever flashtool is compatible with your device. If you post your device model number I can at least get you pointed in the right direction to finding your answer.

Thank you.
My phone is a MPIE P3000T, I searched everywhere to no avail. I have the backup, but missing those .img not help me ...... Could .img separate package the files? Or if you know of any place where I can find a rom for my model ....

Unfortunately, I am not finding any ROMs for you on XDA. You'll have to find your stock firmware by doing a google search using your device's model number, find it, get it downloaded and flash it from PC with whatever flashtool is for your device.
You can try posting in the forum linked below.

Good luck.

Sorry, just I wondering, but I'm more interested in whether there is any tool to package the files that I need.

The tools you use will depend on your device, generally, Linux can be used for manipulating things like that on all android devices but the tools to make use of what you put together in Linux will depend on your device. How to use Linux to package things correctly for your device would be better answered by those that have your device, I am not familiar with your device so those kinds of things I couldn't tell you.
You should post your question in the link I gave you, the members there may have more answers for you than I do. There are too many kinds of android devices out there to learn them all, its best to find those that have learned that device.

Hi, I am looking for a stock ROM of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE (SHV-E230L).

Just as the title says. My device has been bricked, unlike any other Samsung devices, I cannot find any links to download a stock firmware for it. It's almost been half a year I'm searching with no luck, even Sammobile I can't find one and any links I've searched on Google are broken. Shame it's just lying around and I can't use it. A working link for free download and any other method to fix my device is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Search on Google (You're best friend), i'm sure you will find it.
Make sure to use these keys in your search: SHV-E230L and stock firmware
Good luck!

I did that a long time ago as I said on my message above and I did again today. Some links are broken including hotfile.com and other results on Google. Others require payment online to be able to download but I think those are scams and I don't know how to do online transactions like credit card payments since I don't have one. I am looking for a link which I can download a stock firmware of SHV-E230L for free like all firmwares on Sammobile or also any methods to fix this bricked device besides flasing it.

For starters check whether the tablet enters into recovery mode. If not - no firmware does not help, you must contact the Service Center (or the trash). A firmware try looking for "KIES_HOME_E230LKLUAMG2_E230LLGTALI1_1220323_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" or "KIES_HOME_E230LKLAMA3_E230LLGTALI1_887051_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"- much in the Chinese resources. In my Yandex.Disk I put the firmware from hire, but I somehow did not understand that for the file extension is "egg" (I renamed to zip, but didn't become clearer more out). And there's a magnet-link torrent, but I feel that the non-operating: https://yadi.sk/d/Qt98o5XHnx9vk At least, I have not downloaded.

Official Stock ROM Grabbed from Samsung SmartSwitch for SM-G935W8 RWC

Introduction:
My name as you may be able to tell is Francesco, and I am a long time user of the Samsung Galaxy S Series Devices. My current device is the SM-G935W8. I have just requested Developer Access on Android File Host so I can give access to everyone for the Stock Firmware for the SM-G935W8 of which I grabbed from Samsung SmartSwitch on Windows. I am an experienced programmer in the Languages C# and Java. I have made a few personal apps that aren't even worth mentioning.
Goal:
My Goal is to contribute and dedicate myself to the Canadian Users because I have noticed the lack of support towards them. I am currently working on a ROM based on the stock firmware of which I am trying to release. I am going to need help on it as I am rather new to this area of Android but nonetheless does not mean I am terrible. I have done my research and have gotten some of the tools that are needed and have already successfully built a ROM just not able to boot it but I believe it is because I missed a step with the boot.img. The main tool I am using is the one that Superr has created called SuperRs_Kitchen. I am currently using v1.0.5.6 as the newest version I was having issues with.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.
I will provide an upload link once and if I get approved for requesting developer access. If I don't I will then use a different mirror to host it.
Please be patient, and I do not have an ETA on when the link will be up.

Welcome Francesco! Nice to see some W8 support here! Really looking forward to see development from you

When SmartSwitch says it's downloading your firmware:
If you open up the run dialogue, type in %APPDATA% you will be brought to the Roaming folder. Click in the address bar to actually go to the APPDATA Folder, click Local, then go into the Temp folder.
Sort the results by last modified.
You will see one that has a random generated name and is a .tmp file. Keep your eye on this file and the size. Keep pressing refresh. Once that file is done another file will be created above it with the exact same name but it will be a zip file. Keep an eye on the file size as for this one as well. Keep refreshing until it the file size stops changing. In my experience it's still the exact same size as the tmp file, but just wait about 5 seconds after it stop changing, then copy it to somewhere like your desktop.

Thank you. I know there isn't much support for this device, but the ROM I believe the one that is called Renovated Edge does work on the W8 version, but it will change your CSC to XAC and it was a real pain trying to get it back to RWC. Actually took me a couple days to figure out how to do it.

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.

Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".

Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!

Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please

help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot！

Bootloader unlock - HERE
Found some ROM's also .... Althought, You'll Need TAMPERMONKEY and Baidu Download Script for Tampermoney
ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,
since it requires to be registered ...
And, as bonus ...
I found Russian modified ROM's ....
HERE for HW version A01
and
HERE for HW version M02
TWRP Recovery - HERE
Check HW version of your phone, if you want to flash roms and BEFORE screwing it up.
Hope that's enough for now ....
p.s. Be carefull what are you doing and flashing into phone. Links I posted are from third party sources,
people reported they are working, but all you do - you do on your own responsibility.

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s

Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?

Upgrade Retus to 10 [no PC method]

I discussed this with Forum Admin MikeChannon in advance of posting here. He said the link would be allowed because I'm just asking folk to have a quick look then come back to XDA to discuss it.
I just saw an article over at https://www.androidinfotech.com/moto-g7-power-android-10-ocean/ that details various ways the G7 Power can be upgraded to 10. I am interested in the method that doesn’t require PC support, can this really be true?

Doesn't look like RetUS is included.
Just Retail, RetEU and RetIN
You don't want to use an ota for a different software channel.

Thank you sd_shadow.

I don't think it particularly matters that the web page only shows links to 3 regions - they are just links to lolinet so you should be able to just grab the relevant file from the correct region and use that in the process.
That said, I have tried it and it doesn't seem to work. Whether this is because the process hasn't been tested before publishing, whether different phones/manufacturers use different locations for storing OTA files or something else, I don't know.
I have tried putting the file in many different locations but the update app never detects it in the way that the link implies it should.
I'd be interested to see if anyone has actually been able to use this method.

You can't flash neither a complete firmware build this way nor OTAs.
OTA.zips contain a META-INF folder like a flashable.zip for Custom Recoverys do. But this could be related to the option "apply update from sdcard" in stock recovery.
FW .zips only have a flashfile.xml sheet used for all the flash tools. I don't think you are able to use the updater app while installing a complete new firmware.

The files need to be in a different format for ota, need a different script to be used with a recovery.
