Hey Guys,
This is my first post. I have had my SGP for about a year and I thought I would try and install a custom rom. But I think it may have soft bricked my device and I am not sure how to fix it. I was hoping someone may be able to help.
Device: YP-GB70EW(B) 16GB
First tried to flash with this firmware: Eryigit_Rom_PDA_YP-G70_G70ZCKPA.R.3.5-Defult
Odin seemed to flash it fine but when the device rebooted it just loaded the samsung screen and stopped.
so then I tried to go back to stock firmware:CODE_G70ZCKPA_CL767152_REV01_user_low_ship_HOME.tar.md5
and I get the same issue. right how I have the device pungged into my computer and it is on the battery charge screen.
can someone please help me twith a step by step how to fix. I would reely like to get a the first rom I tried working on my device.
Thanks,
Andrew

Well you softbricked your device because y ou took a rom that's not meant for your device. You have a YP-GB70 which is the korean galaxy player 5.0. The erygit and the stock rom are for YP-G70 US and Intl so you will need to find a stock korean rom in order to get it back to normal.
Have you tried wiping data and and do a factory reset in recovery mode BEFORE flashing the firmware?

don't forget to wipe before flashing
good luck
Thanks I will give the korean stock rom a try.
I thought that Intl was for everywhere but the US.
does anyone know of a good rom like Eryigit that will work on my device?

no as I followed the odin flashing instructions that where in the Eryigit rom thread and it said do do the wipe after flashing and some people said that it did not even need to be done at all.
but how I am past that point as the device will not boot past the samsung screen (I assume the samsung screen is the bootloader)

But how do I do a wipe before flashing with odin if all I have is the samsung boot screen. (I can also get it into download mode)
wipe is done outside odin.*easy"
push and hold together home+vol+power for some seconds then follow given instruction.

Hey lolo9393,
once I get my device back up on stock I would like to try a good custom rom I have noticed you chatting on some of the other threads and was hoping you can point me to a good stable rom that I can install (ICS would be nice but not required)
No problem,
In case you are ready for custom roms you can investigate the very light and fast* Rice Rom With Ktensi White Wine Theme Rom Build2.
It is rooted and has no more bloatware.
http://soon-s.tistory.com/m/post/view/id/4
Other good choice is the GreenROM HD4.0. It is rooted, fully fonctionnal and bug free.
http://greenview.tistory.com/31
But if you really 'need' ICS ,for me not mature enough and buggy, you can try (at your own risk) this was done by our korean friends.
http://greenview.tistory.com/39
let me know the progress!
anyway, my own feeling about this "very good" device and the peacefull use i have of it (I am not a furious gamer) I don't need ICS, only root is required and mandatory.
regards

I agree about ICS (I hope we will see some more options in the future)
I also just need root, want to get rid of the bloat, I would also like to be able to mount a usb flash drive that would be nice.

Hey lolo9393,
Sorry to keep bugging you I am just trying to dig my seft out of this mess....
I flashed "CODE_GB70KRKPL_CL985547_REV01_user_low_ship_HOME.tar" and I have got closer but it is still not working now my device gets to the samsung boot screen then it will play the little startup tune and display the "Galaxy Player" label but then it keeps looping on the "Galaxy Player" label.
I did do the wipe data/factory reset and the wipe cashe partition before applying the rom.
when I wipe data I get a bunch of errors:
- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 (/data)
- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (/dbdata)
- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (/cashe)
when I wipe cashe:
- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)
- e:Can't mount /cashe/recovery/log
- e:Can't open /cashe/recovery/log
- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)
- e:Can't mount /cashe/recovery/last_log
- e:Can't open /cashe/recovery/last_log
- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)
also do you know of another source for the "Rice Rom With Ktensi White Wine Theme Rom Build2" I click on the TAR image on the page and the link looks to be dead
You are at the point I was six months ago while "playing" with new kernel that was supposed to give me many advantages. What i got was a permanent hard brick with the same advices "devblock not formated".
seems you have some memory block "un formated". It is not related to the pit file, don't touch it please!!!
only means is to put your hands into the grease (don't no if this sentence is english but sound well)
go there and do it in a calm and peacefull area!

Hey lolo9393,
I am not having much luck here, I have installed the SDK tried to run "adb shell" and I get "devices not found". I also tried "adb devices" and no devices are listed. The only way I can get a device to show in the list is when my device is in recovery mode but "adb shell" will still not work.
Any idea?

I know this is "the not easy step" to start because we are not skilled enough.
It is like the drivers are not installed.
have a check again, procedure did work well for me.

It does not look like the "Rice Rom With Ktensi White Wine Theme Rom" is available from the link you gave me. (click on the TAR image and I get a 404)
do you have another source?
Again thanks for you help, I would not have been able to do it with out you
Congratulations man,
Just for my knowledge, what was your issue with adb?
What you need is official KPL FW and the rooting kernel, it is what I have today and makes me satisfy I will go with ICS when fully debuged, no hurry!

I was trying to install a new rom on my Desire Z, following the directions here, but something went wrong somewhere and now I can't mount /data. I don't want to go any further in the rom installation process, as I'm afraid to brick my phone. The same thing happened to me while upgrading my Windows 6.5 phone (unexpected problem during rom install) and I ended up with a brick (corrupt bootloader).
I have found several threads here discussing the same problem. However, all of them use highly technical language and seem to be advice from experts to other experts. There are a lot of terms I don't understand or only understand partially, like nandroid, parted, hboot, and so on. Everyone assumes too much. Can anyone explain the procedure in terms a novice can understand?
Try reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466228, then getting back to the thread with "those" terms.
Sorry for the duplicated post. I just noticed the other one i posted is in the wrong section and this is the one for the AT&T phones so here it is again.
Hi Guys. Today i rooted my phone for the first time (LG Optimus G e970)
Everything went well, then i uninstalled the bloatware from AT&T and a few of the google apps that i do not use like books or music, and on the next reboot i got my phone bricked with the LG loop and "Security Error" message.
I found some great info on these forums on getting the phone in working condition with the help of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2388440
However, before i go ahead and restore the phone's original firmware, i would like to know if there is anyway to recover some of the files. I have some important notes i wish to recover, everything else is on google and the external SD card so im not all lost.
I am able to put the phone in download mode by holding the up and down volume keys and then powering on the phone with the usb cable connected to the PC, but it is not showing as an external disk on the computer. I do have the LG drivers installed tho, the same ones i used to root the phone.
Any ideas?. thanks a lot.
What recovery do you have ? You may be able to mount internal and sd card in recovery and access them on your computer ?

Hi thank for the help.
I have no clue about what recovery i have. I never played with the phone before the rooting and removal of the apps, so i believe it should be the "stock" recovery if you wanna call it like that.

I don't know what guide you followed to get the root. If you followed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450258
You should have twrp. Stock recovery may not be able to mount storages for uses on PCs.
Also I haven't seen the post you included , maybe that's an older post. A lot of people use this to recover their "bricked" phones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
I personally have followed this too.
As long as you have download mode you don't have to worry. However you need to read carefully before processing with teenybins because its something that can actually brick your phone if used wrong.

Ok so when i did the rooting i followed that same guide you linked to, but i only did it to the root part. Not the "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AND INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY-"
I just wanted the permissions to remove the apps.
So now with the TeenyBin guide.... will that erase the current settings and information on the phone or is it just an attempt to fix the firmware loop?
will the process attempt to restore the google apps missing?

There are different kind of teenybins. They do different things, one giving you a working recovery and updating RPM/TZ, one restoring your phone to complete factory state. You will have to read it to know what I'm saying here. The one that give you twrp and update your partitions may let your data alone but you will most likely still have the existing bootloop. The gapps missing ? The ones you deleted ? If you use the bin that recovers phones to factory state then you will have all the stock apps again.
Quick update.
I was able to recover the phone and the data in it. :good:
I installed the new boot loader with the teenybin instructions and was able to backup the data partition to an SD card.
Anyway, after that i went for a recovery using the stock firmware and LGNPST and now i lost the boot loader with all the neat options, but got the phone working again, and to my surprise, everything was back there including data and applications,. i dont get it but oh well... im back alive.
Ill backup all the important stuff from now on, and then i will keep messing with the phone again LOL. i learned quite a few things today... ill read more from now on before doing more things.
Thanks for all the help.!!
Good nite
Hi all,
I installed CM11 onto my S5830i (GB) and managed to get it all working. I had to install S5360_XXMK1 modem and a newer version of CWM to prevent the "Status 7" error. Anyway, it all worked and I had CM11 up and running. Unfortunately, I had to remove it, I couldn't click any links in the browser and the browser was slow as all buggery even on a fast wifi connection. So I fired up Odin and tried to put the stock firmware on (i don't have an original state backup, the phone came with a custom rom on it already). I got these files
CSC_S5830i_BTUMD1.tar.md5
MODEM_S5830i_XXMD1.tar.md5
PDA_S5830i_XXMD1.tar.md5
But something's messing up, after Odin does its thing and the phone restarts, I notice something on the screen during restart saying it failed to format the /data partition. When I let the phone boot up normally it just stays on the "Samsung" startup animation forever. If I go into samsung recovery and try to do a factory reset, this is what I see
Code:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
Obviously, something's wrong there, can anyone tell me how to fix it pleeeeese, I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks
NS
EDIT: I think the CM install may have messed around with my partitioning. I do not have a pit file for the phone (GB Version) and am reluctant to be using the re-partition option in Odin. I can find pit files online, but they're either not the correct version or the poster doesn't even say what version it is. I am just so lost and confused with all this.
@NicSure, Flashing wrong base band into your Ace-i is ill advised mate, go to CM11 discussion topic and read my comments . ( You will damage your EFS partition,thus device may become hard bricked in many cases)
As for troubleshooting : Already explained all of the instructions in details in many places, So I will provide links/hints for now. If your problem persisted, let us know
Here we go mate:
1. Official source for your stock firmware CSC/MODEM/PDA >> this page (sammobile.com)
2. Study this topic to get the hang of Wipe flash-able packages,,, How to produce them, Boot looder and pit files required for the process , etc etc,, all well instructed here
3. Read few last pages of this topic; my comments; for more insight into your problem. Please be advised you have already converted your partitions into MTD ,therefore formatting /data ( concerting back into RFS partitions ) might be failure through CWM/e3 recovery >> Odin process is required for"stl11" .
Hope I did help you

Thanks but you were too technical. I have been to a lot of those pages you linked and it's not all obvious what's going on. You spoke about "base band", I have no idea what that is. I have no idea what RFS, MTD
are (file systems?), not do I know where to get a bootloader from. Sam mobile won't let me download anything without paying and/or signing up which I'm reluctant to do. I'll re-read the posts you linked to (I had already seen them) and see if something starts to make more sense.
For instance:
"Please be advised you have already converted your partitions into MTD ,therefore formatting /data ( concerting back into RFS partitions ) might be failure through CWM/e3 recovery >> Odin process is required for"stl11"
May as well have been in Klingon, I didn't understand a word of it.
EDIT:
I've reviewed those threads again. Seems I need to use split fus on the downloaded file from SamMobile (which I had to register to download, not happy about that) and use the "wipe" versions. I need a pit file, there's no info anywhere on how to get that. So I've just done a general google and hopefully I've downloaded one (more info on that is needed in the tuts). And the bootloader is attached to the unbrick thread, but, is that the ONLY bootloader? Do I need a specific one for my region? Do I need a specific pit file for my region? All this info is not supplied anywhere, Newcomers are not going to know this stuff and it needs to be made clear in the tutorials. Most of the tuts have broken links (split fus for instance), so I'm not sure if the stuff I googled is actually the same. Absolute nightmare.

"Robust File System" is more or less equivalent to your FAT/FAT32 of your PC ( Samsung file system Format,, not going to add "Journalling system" to the mix, since you are not a sport ,,FYI : You are supposed to know common terms such as MTD , RFS when you are massing with CM11 mate >> Read the first page thoroughly, before start experimenting with Cyanogen stuff,,,
MTD (Memory Technology Device) supports YAFFS2 as a file system residing on it and is considered some type of of Partition Map.

Again, Read the topic I mentioned above. You are on Cooperve device, so be aware of wrong file ( "cooperve_0623.pit" resided inside Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve folder) All of the related links already provided , Just take your time and read mate.
I'd already read the posts you linked to multiple times thank you. They may be "straight forward" to you, but I can assure you they are certainly not so for a newcomer. Too many things are vague, missing or not explained properly.
In any case, I managed to get the stock firmware back on after trawling the internet for a .pit file, downloading the firmware, splitting it, taking the wipe versions with the pit and the bootloader and using Odin to fully flash the phone back to stock firmware, Finally. The tuts here are indeed a lot of help, but so so so disjointed.
Also, why would changing the base band effect the file system? How could it cause physical damage to NAND memory. I'm confused. I assume you mean physical damage, because if not, why would it be ill-advised to change it if it could just be changed back with no ill-effects?
@NicSure, First of all Thanks button implanted here for a good reason and most likely you are the first person who was complaining about my assistance (How information is organized and distributed for new commers is not my responsibility nor distribution of step-by-step instructions ) . Second of all You were complaining about the technical terms and jargon, But know you are asking for technical reason in regard of the consequences of flashing Galaxy Y GT-S5360 inside your ACE-i device !
I did mention about EFS partition corruption, which renders your device mobile network communication useless and hard bricking of your device.which is a phone that shows no signs of power-on and will not access download mode with button combo. You did assume wrong mate.
Generally speaking, Carriers use different radio frequencies in our respective countries , Different Devices do contain different modem hardware inside, So you are not encouraged to do what you have done in the first place.
If you are not flashing the correct versions for your phone , or if the flash gets interrupted there’s a good chance you will Hard Brick your device, thus we may need hardwired access to modify/erase and rewrite chip's code ( Service is required).
When a phone is in a hard-bricked state it’s most likely that the bootloaders, which is the phones initial code to launch the phones ROM, becomes corrupted.
The only way to revive the phone is to rewrite the bootloader code, because the phone does not power on ., So you see so many things could go wrong :silly:

Firstly, I'm not complaining, I'm criticizing, there's a difference. I was critical of your language and terminology as it didn't match the links you posted. Also the level of technical talk you used toward a clear newbie who would obviously never understand it without clarification. If that offends you then I'm sorry, I'm just speaking my mind. Help offered, no matter how kindly or freely is useless if it cannot be understood. I generally take a very irritated approach to people who post links (with the implication that the information is freely available if you'd bother to look) in response to perfectly polite questions, especially when I'd already read ALL the posts you linked to before and had trouble with them, that is why I posted, to get a little more basic understanding, not be presented with links to material I'd already read and needed help with. Also, after some researching, with regard to the base-band, I think you're wrong, there's no way flashing a different base-band separately could effect the bootloader, no way at all. I seriously doubt it could even cause corruption, that's liek saying installing the incorrect driver for a graphics card on a PC could corrupt the file system, just no. So far I've flashed many many different MODEM types onto my phone to try to test this, in some caes the phone boots, in some cases it doesn't etc.. Not once has the phone failed to go into Odin flash mode, and if it can get to that, it can be restored. So based on research and some experimental evidence conducted to test your assertion, I'd have to say that my initial findings are that your assertion is probably incorrect.
Also I learn very quickly. My knowledge of the subject had increased dramatically from my first post to my second. I learned c++ in a day for example, and was posting similar newbie questions on programming forums to which I was later replying with a level of knowledge that wasn't consistent with my initial post. It's just me, sorry about that. And thanks for trying to help, but I got it myself.

... I can assure you they are certainly not so for a newcomer. Too many things are vague, missing or not explained properly. In any case, I managed to get the stock firmware back on after trawling the internet for a .pit file, downloading the firmware, splitting it, taking the wipe versions with the pit and the bootloader and using Odin to fully flash the phone back to stock firmware, Finally. The tuts here are indeed a lot of help, but so so so disjointed.

Dear NicSure, I am in the same situation as yours, I was planning to "simply" (or maybe wrongly?) use Odin 3.09 and flash the Splitted files from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/s5830i-develop/stock-rom-odin-flashable-firmware-t3002776).
But you mentioned that also the ".pit" file is needed. Could you guide me through the process you followed to have back a Stock from CM11 ROM?
Thank you in advance!

Per your request/confirmation @ development section/twr topic i would resume troubleshooting .
What is your device variation (5830i/C/M/V/5839i ) ? Do you have any Nandroid back up left inside your SD card from your original stock firmware partitions ? Can you see your IMEI number , when you are dialing "*#06#" ? Your original stock CSC/PDA/MODEM you are coming from ? Your Region / Country / carrier you are staying with at the moment and please give me the Totoro Modem part you did flash to get into the CM11 ? and for addressing part of your primary queries , Odin 3.07 works very well with variation I mentioned above ( you could use 3.09 with no harm though , but not recommended ) . Pit file also must be relevant, otherwise you will hard brick your device in many cases I observed .
Hello XDA,
Today, I was searching Custom Recovery for my device for flashing Custom Roms and Other Mods. As I wasn't able to find any Custom Recovery(as there was very less development done for this device) , I decided to port one for my device.
My Device is Micromax Canvas 5 (e481) powered by MT6753 Chip. I used custom Recovery Of a different device of same manufacturer having MT6752 processor onboard. I used 'Carliv Image Kitchen' for Porting the image.
The image was ported with success and I even able to boot my phone in it. But the problem here is, Visually Every thing seems to work Properly but behind the Scenes its totally Unusable.
I was able to navigate through Recovery Functions but Nothing seems to work out. Checking Recovery Logs helped a bit in Identifying the Issue as There were errors present in the Logs.
Errors were like:
Unable to find path of Partition '/system'
Unable to find path of Partition '/cache'
Unable to find storage location to for storing settings
Because of which nothing Remains Consistent if I reboot the phone.
Do anyone faced same issue or similar to it? If anyone, Please Suggest some work arounds.
Thanks
