I tried updating my phone manually with a batch file, using the official retail g100 rom, but it wouldn't finish the installation and now my phone is bricked
I updated it several times before using this method but it never gave me any issues until now
is there another way to install the official rom without losing any data or is it better to just switch to a custom rom, and if so, how do I go about doing it?
I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me asap
Can you access fastboot/bootloader mode?
yes
Did you use an old batch file or create a new one for the updated firmware?
If you are using an old one, chuck it and make a new one from the recent firmware. Possibly theres an extra sparse image part in there, that the old batch file isnt flashing.
I tried with a batch file from the previous version and then I created a new batch file but it still didn't work

I have an Excite 10 (AT300) that gets stuck in the boot process on the "fireworks" screen...
I am thinking that re-installing the firmware will fix the problem..
I downloaded an 8mg update, but when I try to install it, it says VERIFICATION FAILED.. So I am thinking that I need the original firmware, instead of just an update..
Does anyone know where I can find such a critter??
I DID find a thread that had an update package that was considerably larger than the first one I tried..
163022_14.28.56.TC10213200A.zip
I put that on the SD card and then tried to install it thru the recovery process..
The verification passed, but then I got this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This seems to indicate to me that the verification is good on that file, but something happens in the update process...
I have tried about 5 different files from the http://bds.updates.toshiba.com/Downloads/Production/tais/2012/ location and all give me the same ASSET FAILED error..
This leads me to believe that something is REALLY hosed with this AT300..
I have done a complete data wipe/reset...
At a loss as to how to proceed?? I don't want to write this tablet off if there is a chance of bringing it back to life..
Any hints, tips or advice would be most appreciated..
Is there a way to get a listing of that link's directory and see what other firmwares might be available for download??
I just bought Gsmart Arty A3 and it proves unrootable. But also, I found out that it comes with stock recovery and stock rom updates like here which are flashable and in .zip format when downloaded.
So I'm wondering this: is there a way to download this official firmware from the link above and tweak into being pre-rooted?
Please help me out if you know how
Regards
EDIT #1: Only a way to debloat this stock firmware is good enough if there's no help for root
EDIT #2: I downloaded official update and this is in system/app from that flashable .zip (see attachment)

Now, I wonder if it is safe to delete bloatware in this folder (widgets and cosmote .apk and .odex's), save changes and flash this zip through stock recovery?
PLEASE, ANSWER ME!
Great idea. But we need to check if that zip is signed or something. Including how those apps that are taking care of firmware updates are used. Would be great to re-package with KingoRoot, Busybox, SuperSU etc, for example, for those who doesn't want root out of the box...
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE !
already solved it. it seems the lg flash tool threads and such found on this forum
are either outdated or there's missing files.
since there are only two things i did and it worked.
---- dll file and driver ----
mods can either delete or close this thread now.
Good day everyone

Assuming you're using a Windows PC and Odin.
Run Odin as administrator.
You'll need the exact OEM Samsung firmware for your device. Good thing you included the variant code of your firmware in your original post.
Here is one place you can find the file to download https://www.galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-A127F/
After downloading, extract the zip. A few "tar.md5" files will be inside.
Using instructions from here, flash the original firmware onto your phone.
After reboot, the phone might restart a few times and launch into recovery. If it does, then select "format data" in recovery and reboot.
Phone should be back to factory ready for you to brick again.
Also if you want to try rooting again use patched magsisk
Hi i have a joying intel sofia unit and i installed a custom rom on it but cannot access recovery so have tried reloading joying firmware but have been stopped by the whole file system verification fails and signature verification failed errors so i have tried to resign the 5009_60 folder with test keys using the signapk app from this site it says it has completed but i am still getting the same error or a footer is missing error can anyone explain how i make a test keys flashable zip which will install so i can get my head unit working again or does anyone happen to have it as the links are currently dead any help would be much appriciated
You will never be able to resign the firmware. That is the exact goal of sigining your software before release. So that someone else can't hack your software and distribute all kind of malware and viruses, etcetera.
Try to get the custom apk for the GTX rom and reflash the original recovery
I cant access android to be able to install it

This rom seems to be the fix as everyone with same issue has used this to fix it but all the links are dead
