Hi! I'm new to this forum. I researched for almost 1-2 weeks for my phone's solution, but nothing I found.
So here is what happened: For a few months ago (yes, its been a long time ago), I got an Oppo Neo 5(1201) that was upgraded into android 5.1 . I feel unsatisfied and wanted to root my phone so badly. I've tried many tools of rooting such as Kingo Root, KingRoot, iRoot, and other else including some chinese powerful root tools. So I found out that in the the device : Neo 5, only kitkat android version can be rooted, and there is no root for the upgraded Lollipop. I downloaded the stock kitkat rom, but I didnt ever noticed that it was corrupted. I directly move it to my phone SD Card and flashed it via Stock Recovery. It take so long and I was stuck in the screen "Updating, Please wait!" and the progress bar doesn't even move a single tick! So then I later checked the zip file I downloaded and found out that it was corrupted! And now I've got a working stock rom zip but it was too late. My phone was stuck on the updating screen all the time. I tried to reboot it, guess any other keys for booting into different kind of boot, but no luck. Could anyone help me out?? Any answer will be appreciated!
thank you in advance!
--When i boot up my phone, it shows on the left-bottom corner "->Recovery Mode" and directly to the updating screen--

Have you tried removing the corrupted zip from your SD card?

try reinstall a stock rom, check if everythings is fine then reinstall CM9
Thnx for the quick response
I think the problem isn't cm9, when I was trying to install the from I couldn't boot to the cwm recovery because I forgot to root my device. Then I rooted my s3 with cf something root kit and then my signals were gone. I have the international version so my phone should be factory unlocked so I thought I should install cm anyway cuz that might solve the problem. But it didn't. I really like cyanogenmod and don't want to revert back to crappy touchwizz . The problem was there before installing cm9 but after rooting my phone.
Please any help. I really need to use my phone.
Thnx

You should reinstall everything from the scratch mate, so revert your device at stock (using odin), then flash the correct [email protected] kernel and finally if everything is working flash cm9.
Edit: if your device is locked i think you can unlock it easily, search in the forum you can find out everything you need for this.

sorry mate ..
i am a complete noob, i dont know how to revert to stock rom, stock recovery and unroot my device
Download original firmware for your phone from sammobiles and flash it using odin. If is good then root it again and flash cm9.

Okay,
I have downloaded my firmware file but i noticed that i need three tar files for the flashing precess through ODIN but i downloaded only 1 file *.tar.md5
no clue now what to do
Update: I tried to extract the file using splitfus but it didnt work.
Update 2: Okay now I have Installed my stock firmware and it seems to be working now.. But should I risk installing the CM9 again ?

- launch Odin
- load that ONE FILE on PDA section
- put your phone in download mode (volume down+home+power)
- connect the phone to computer, wait for drivers to be installed and ODIN to find your phone (you will see a message in Odin)
- click start
- don't touch the phone until it's done. It will boot alone
Also, it might be a good idea to wipe data / reset to factory before and after flash.
You could find all this info with google ....
On the topic, I have a similar issue. My phone was factory unlocked , and got locked after flashing latest stock firmware. Downgrading didn't solved anything. I am searching the forums right now, but it seems like all fixes are dated.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated.
Thx
Hey rsndetre,
Thnx for the post, but sorry I already did that and it worked ..
Here are the method I used to get back my device back to normal and got my sim card working and again reinstalled cm9
1- Downloaded Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
2- Flashed Stock Boot Image
3- Flashed Stock Recovery Mode
4- Downloaded stock firmware from http://fus.nanzen.se/
5- Flashed stock firmware using Odin (your method above)
6- Rooted the device again (using odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4)
7- Downloaded and placed cm9 and google apps package in SDCARD
8- Installed Rom Manager from Play Store.
9- Downloaded and Installed ClockWorkMod from rom manager and booted to recovery mode using RomManager
10- Then factory resetted, formatted the cache and installed the CM9 and GAPPS V11
Then my phone was good to go.
My phone is up and running, thanks rsndetre, Arsaw and TecQuality for your replies. I appreciate your time
Thanks

Today morning i was trying to install Chainfire 3d. I clicked the second option it rebooted but now the phone gets struck on the boot logo.
The phone doesnt boot. Waited for and hour tried 20+ times.
I have already installed CWM recovery. But when i click restore it says m5 sum error( Yes CWM is still working).
I even tried factory reset but it didnt work. What do i do?
Explain in detail help me plz.
OK: I got few replies and the most common one was to flash a new ROM.At present i want to stick to the stock 4.2.1.
I'm currently on 4.1.2.
Everybody gives the method to flash via SP Flash tools, which i don't want to as it doesn't detect my device properly and i don't want to waste my time in it.
As i mentioned earlier i have already rooted and have installed CWM recovery. Can i CWM to install the official ROM.When does TP upgrade pop-up. How should i install it using CWM + precautions and detailed explanations.
Should be noob friendly.
Go and check development section, you need to find a ROM which can be flashed VIA recovery.
There are threads which show how to install drivers, and IF you try to flash VIA SP Tools make sure you remove battery, sim card, sd card, initialise the download process and then connect the phone.

Hi Guys,
Can someone help me, please? I've rooted my P780, and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I can't seem to get any ROMs to install, though. I've tried four now, two from the forums here and two from needrom.com, but none of them install.
I put the ROM zip file on the SD card, reboot to CWM, wipe etc then try and install but for every ROM I get the following:
Warning: No file_contentssymlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in <ROM zip file> (Status 7)
Is there something more I have to do? Or should I try and flash by other means?
Thanks!

I'll give it a go. It might be tricky because I have 64 bit and couldn't initially get the drivers working. I'll keep trying though!

Iff your phone is rooted do this:
Download TWRP 2.7.1.1 from my post and install Mobileuncle Tools from Magazin Play!
Extract TWRP from archive rename it recovery.img and copy on your internal memory, in the root of your internal memory not in one folder.
Open Mobileuncle Tool and go to Recovery Update>and the first option select and flash. Then restart directly to recovery. Not optional!
Try this!
Waiting for feedback.
Sadly, I'm still having problems.
I booted up the stock ROM (had to try and get it back off Chinese! :laugh: )
I reinstalled Framaroot, rooted and then used MobileUncle tools to install the recovery.img from your TWRP zip as suggested. This has worked, I now have TWRP as recovery, which is good, thanks.
However, when I try and install a ROM from ZIP - just tried an AOSP and an SLXROM - I get the same thing:
Code:
symlink: some symlinks failed
Error executing undater binary in zip '/external_sd/SLXROM)v26-Lenovo_P780-ROW.zip'
Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. It seems to me that you have problems with the archives, maybe i am wrong. Try to see if the archives are not corrupted by something.
Try first to replace your SD Card just for test, and try to reflash SLX or AOSP again.
One more thing: be careful when you download the archives not to be corrupted.

It's still not working for me
I've taken the SD card from my older phone, which has been working fine for years. Formatted it and reloaded ROMS, but I still get exactly the same thing. I've tried five different ROMS, which were downloaded across two different computers at home and one in work on a different connection, so I can't imagine that all of these files would suffer the same corruption.
I've been having a search around and did find one person suggesting that it might be to do with storage space. I think I've seen in this forum (but I can't find it now) that you can resize the system storage partitions. Do I need to try this?
Thanks for your continuing help!
Partitioning didn't seem to help.
I followed the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/general/p780-repartition-storage-t2668744
But I still get the same thing when I try to install a ROM from SD Card. :crying:
I feel sure there's something really simple that I've missed, but even re-reading all the threads I can't figure it out.

I used the 'recommended' option in the ReParted/Aroma tool.
Now in the stock OS I can see:
Internal Storage:
2.56GB total
1.33GB available
USB Storage:
1.03GB total
1.02GB available
And then my 16GB SD card as well.
Well, I think I broke it. :crying:
Out of desperation and thinking I might have got the wrong idea, I tried a china, not ROW rom. Strangely, TWRP seemed to be able to install this. However, now the phone won't boot. So I have no OS at all!
I can still load TWRP recovery, but it still won't install roms. Also it keeps telling me it can't mount /data for some reason.
Can anyone help, please? What have I done?
This sounds like me ... the first 24 hours i had my p780. After that i discovered i have a newer version (also Chinese) of the phone then most of the forum members. I can only flash through the flashtools (i don't even bother to install a custom recovery anymore). You need an other preloader.
So just try it ( you got nothing to loose anyway )
Download the flashtool if you didn't do that already .
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed
Download a rom you can flash with the flashtool (i'm using a modified version of VibeUi2.0 no Chinese apps, and extra languages )
replace the preloader in the rom with the one attached.
shutoff your phone.
load the rom in the flashtool (make sure you've selected everything you need like DL with checksum etc, if you never did it please read threads and topics)
press download and connect your phone ...
for me all this above resurrected my phone again

Thanks for your reply Re-Mi! It gives me hope to know you got yours sorted. I'll definitely try your suggestion.
I'm just wondering, how do I use the flash tool? All the tutorials I've seen have needed the phone to be on and have usb debugging on. But I don't have a working OS for this, only TWRP recovery works now. Is that what the preloader is for? I shall research!
Again, thanks.

Step by step guide :
If your phone is not already soft bricked, back up whatever you want. External SD card is fine. If your phone is soft-brick then say goodbye to your data and skip this step.
Uncompress all the files you downloaded from this thread into a directory where you can remember. Including the ROMs.
Shutdown your phone if its not in a bootloop. If it is skip this step.
Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.
Assuming the drivers are correctly installed, run the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
Click on scatter-loading and choose the scatter file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" of the ROM you want to flash.
Make sure the checkbox "DL DA All With Check Sum" is CHECKED
Click on "Firmware->Upgrade" button.
Plug in your powered down phone via the USB cable again. See it flash.
When a big green circle appears on the screen, your are done!
Source
Woohoo! Got my phone working!
Thanks for your help guys. In the end I borrowed a laptop that had windows 7 on, which I was able to get the flash tool working on. So I've now flashed with the kitkat version of the stock ROM
I still don't know why TWRP wouldn't flash any one of the eight different ROMs I tried!
I'm going to continue messing about with the phone. I'd like to get Life ROM working, but I need TWRP back first.
Again, thanks all.
Hi
A few months ago I plunged in , rooted my Tab 10.1 (P7500 3G) with TWRP v2.2.0 and installed Cyanogenmod 10.? successfully.
A few weeks ago I started getting random reboots which increased in frequency until finally it started to reboot during the cyanogenmod logo at start up.
I can still access TWRP so I believe all is not lost. So now I want to wipe my tab and flash with a Lollipop ROM I get on this site.
My problem is I did not have the samsung USB driver installed on my PC, so before windows can install them, the tab reboots. or if I go into TWRP it disconnects before the driver is installed.
So now I do not know how to get the ROM zip file on my tablet?
other info:
Windows 7
Odin3 v1.8 (which I got when I rooted originally)
any help would be appreciated

You could download those drivers from Samsung. I've never tried connecting my tab to my pc when in twrp so I can't help you with that. Option b would be to download the stock ICS rom from sammobile and flash it with Odin with your tab in download mode. It gives you a fresh start and a chance to start hating touchwiz all over again

Hi, downloaded the drivers already, but I can't seem to install them while in twrp, the tab seems to disconnect from PC and driver install fails.
I will see if I can connect with the tab through Odin while in twrp. Edit: Odin does not connect to the tab
The Lollipop ROM I have is a ZIP file so as far as I know you need to copy it to the Tab and then flash with twrp? You cant seem to flash it through Odin.
I still have a Nameless-4.4.2 ROM on the tab that I can flash, I will give this a try.

Odin never connects with twrp, you should put your tab in download mode in order to get Odin to see it.

Ok thanks, got that figured out, this is only my second ROM change.
I had a problem wiping the Delvic cache, it get stuck until eventually the battery dies, but never completes the wipe.
I am having some problem now getting a ROM that can be flash from Odin. The zip file I downloaded so far all seem corrupt or empty . I eventually flashed a ROM (P7500XWLP5_P7500OJVLP5_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5) I had on my hard drive, not sure which one this is....
The flash went fine, but now I am stuck at the SAMSUNG logo that comes up after the stars and animation sequence. I will leave it over night on charge and see if it will boot up.

I'm betting it won't go past the samsung logo. If it does, great! If it doesn't you'll need to do a factory reset. That helped for me.

Check samsung-updates site to find the right stock ROM for your region .
Hey guys,
So I tried to root my S6 Edge and it got stuck on startup, I tried flashing back to the stock ROM, for the SMG-925F, which is the phone I have. Odin fails when flashing the rom. On my phone it says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: , BINARY: 2.
I would really appreciate help as I just got this phone and it is quite frustrating.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do.
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
If so, upload zipped ROM via USB (MTP or USB host) boot to recovery, flash a 5.0.1 ROM from there, flash supersu afterwards and reboot system.
If no custom recovery , you can still try Samsung KIES software and use emergency recovery,
Hey. I have fixed my issue. I extracted my stock rom to a folder, deleted hidden.img/cm.bin/modem.bin and it let me use it. Can anyone explain why this worked? Thanks

The reason you probalby got stuck in starting screen is because you did not unlock the bootloader from developer setting which will cause it not to boot. But for the second part I don't know why odin does this; it seems like extracting the package let's you install the things that are actually needed.
