now i tried to res my phone using method by DOSBF in linux but this dont work'd - after 10-15second when i started terminal turn's of himself and dont work.
same in windows on RSD lite (versions from 4.6.x to 4.9), he dont see file proporties ( i downloaded many sbf files and he dont see it) i read all threads and use all possible options. now after pressing power button i see white screen for 10 second and phone makes he off.
Anyone have some ideas? i do donate 30$ if someone help me to make my droid 2 back to work!
thank to read this.
Greeting's! Adeno

I don't have my Milestone 2 yet, but from reading other threads, you may be able to boot into recovery mode and take it from there...see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10967806&postcount=4

yep, but i dont have any recovery on phone or that recovery what i have is not for my phone ...
RSDlite dont see file proporties.. i dont know why. if RSD will see file proporties its not problem but when i apply sbf file "start" button is still non-active and i can't make it.
i try to find battery loader or other droid2 and i load battery. maybe ubuntu and droid.sh command will work'd (earlier phone switchin off when i do in terminal DOsbf method - maybe then battery have weak power)
sorry for my bad english ...

Hey,
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download RSD Lite 5+ (not 4.x)
2. Download the correct Motorola SBF file I am not able to post any links -- New user here ;-)
Since your A953 is from UK, like mine -- I guess it will be: MILS2_U6_2.2.16_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E100A.0R_UCXMILE20RTGB_P029_A007_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf
3. Turn off your Phone
4. Install, Motorola Milestone Drivers for your PC
5. Hold Volume Down+Camera button and turn on your phone -- You should get some white text saying Bootloader-v70.12 , plugin your USB, etc...
6. Plugin your USB, wait for 10-20 seconds and start RSD Lite (as administrator)
7. Flash your phone
You are welcome to PM me if you don't have any of the files..
Good luck !

[Q] Very Odd installed appz after update <BRICKED>

Hoi Hoi people
i got myself a GT540 Optimus <yes total newbeee to android>
It came with a deal for free and its my 1st android :0
anyway
After USING the official way (silly me )to update I now have some odd Portuguese apps installed ? Stuff from SAPO.pt ???
I didn't do any Sync backup as i just got the phone and its basically empty
I used the Updater tool from LG connected and all went well But after I look I was able to change the language to ENG but it has quiet a few Portuguese Apps installed...
I am in Holland so i cannot see how this updater decided to give me a POR image ?
Now i could make a guess and say the IMEI is for Portuguese market(?) and the dutch INTERNET cheapo middleman I got the deal from has bought a bunch on the gray market ..
Whatever it is i don't care
I would like you guys now to point me the right way
I just flash the thing myself
I think the tool i need is called KDZ ?
Please someone point me to the right post I am looking but seem to get nowhere
just more confused
Thanks guys
B.T.W I am not too inept . I am used to flashin me HTC HD all the time ..

Thanks a lot guys
I followed the hints and now my LG is dead ..
LOL
This is rather annoying
1st I get a Crap gray import from 2call
then LG puts a Portuguese update rom on it??WTF!>?
while i choose NETHERLANDS with language english
but nevermind
buy **** buy twice thats life
My 1st and last lg phone ?/
What kind of rubbish is this
u update using the official LG tool and they play a freckin foreign rom onto my LG (SAPO.PT) then I cant update it at all anymore using the tool . So i look for alternatives but thats just made it worse ...
Really really poor this ..
Now ...I followed the guide but it didn't work ..well it did until restarted
My lg is now black. Dead ! doesn't start up at all !
Doesn't start no-matter what i try !
not even emergency mode.
And no guys I read the instruction word for word !!!!
I followed it to the letter !!!!! and the update did work ..Just now it doesn't start at all anymore.
I should of known reading around
there are too many update ways people are doing this ..Hack tool or original KDZ ..or just Black system way ..Too many loopholes for things to go wrong ..but now too late

Hmm...
Try a reflash...
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

SO its futile ??
I cant start the phone at all ...
After following yesterdays advice Its dead ..
Great init

Oh dang. Doesn't even turn on? No LG boot logo?
Well...if it's bricked...the only three ways are:
1) Get it repaired/replaced.
2) Buy a new phone.
3) Use it as a paperweight.
=)

No my friend ..its DEAD !!!!
following the guide to the letter
Installed parser got the hack tool
run all as admin and made sure I started windows enabler
All the things in the guide

If you did it with kdz updater than:
pull out battery, sim and sd
connect phone with computer
disable lg modem in the device manager
flash a rom with fastboot
go in fastboot by camara+power
connect to computer
type 'fastboot -w' and 'fastboot reboot' in cmd

So Well done LG )

[Q] Really could do with some help from those with experience... Please.

Hi Guys,
I am a noob to xda so please bear with me...
Hoping someone can help me out here.. I will try and explain in as much detail as possible and provide you with as much Info from my phone as I can.
Firstly my phones details
Motorola Atrix 4g (UK version) Second phone as busted the last one. Bought outright as a retail sale.
Orange UK
System Version: 45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Android Version: 2.3.4 (After UK released update)
Baseband Version: N_01.100.00R
Webtop Version: WT-1.2.0.133_38
Kernel Version: 2.66.32.9 [email protected]#2
Ok so, decided to root my phone. To do so I used petesMotorolaRootTools_V1.07 found on the website psouza4.com/bionic/
This worked fine and an app installed from the App Market confirmed that the phone was Rooted and had Superuser permissions.
Next I downloaded ClockWorkMod Rom Manager from the Market Inc Premium, SetCPU, Rom Toolbox & Titanium Backup Free. I had a quick look at these apps once downloaded but didnt really do a lot,
However, when Rom Manager opened it promted me to Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery, Which I did and then selected Back up current Rom. I also did this, (bear with me it gets a little vague here as to what I remember seeing)
Now I'm sure it said something like Nandroid Backup, which I selected. It proceeded to say something along the lines of, Backing up or phone will now reboot??
Anyhow, what ever it said, it started to reboot. The Motorola Red Circle logo came up but then at the top it said reboot failed and something ilse that didnt make sense then froze. I pulled the battery and rebooted. Seemed to work fine. Maybe a touch laggy but nothing to bad.
Next did my research into what ROM I'm likely to want to try. Found a few but seemed from what I have read on various forums that they dont work well for uk phones. Then decided perhaps then flashing should be left alone and went back to PetesMotorolaTools and unrooted. before I unrooted however i removed all apps that required root access first. Possibly a mistake?
I noticed that a few preinstalled apps werent working, nothing important or anything I use but there icons were like Blue settings icons all the same.
Did a factory reset through the handset also, in an attempt to return to factory settings.. not much changed really. Also tried to update software though the Motorola website but it said I was all up to date.
I thought maybe that something went wrong so I rooted again. This time the unroot failed. I then dowloaded all the rooted apps that I had before and then unrooted. This worked. Not sure if coincedence or not but it worked and when unrooting it said unfreezing apps about 6 times, before the complete message. Then uninstalled the root apps again.
Most, not all but most of those preinstalled apps were then working ok.
I read a little bit more bout Roms and decided to have another bash. Found and downloaded a few to comp. Then I place an SD card into phone and Flashed it. then tranferred a copy to its root.
Rooted the phone in the same way as before. Downloaded all the apps again opened CWM RM, Flashed CWM Recovery again as was unsure that the time I did it before would work. Then selected back up Current ROM. Without any message this time the phone started to reboot.
It came up with the recovery screen (Android man and !) From what I have read the next step is to tap the bottom right of the screen to bring up the menu.
This did not work nor did anything else happen. After waiting about 25mins with nothing more happening I pulled the batt again.
Decided I'd boot into recovery mode manually and see if the bottom right of screen would work that way. turned off then held On and down Vol. Fastboot showed at top, Scrolled and selected Android recovery. Same Android Man and ! came up, tried tapping the bottom right of screen again.... It didnt work.
Read more on the forums where someone said that pushing up and down on the Vol buttons works. Tried this and hey presto.. a new menu appears. Shown as follows.
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
No back up options so rebooted....
Anyway thought I'd try a few times to use CWM RM to flash a rom to device. Each time it took me throught this same process.
Eventually I though what the hec just try and flash it...
So I selected the apply update from sdcard option.
Then selected the ROM I saved to SD Card.
Then the following text appears on screen in yellow.
--Install /sdcard...
finding update package...
Openeing update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation abborted
I tried this a few times to no avail. even tried downloading the roms from CWM RM with no change.
Read some more on the forums and somewhere read to rename the ROM update.zip
Did this and tried again.... No Joy!!!
Selected Fix permissions in an attempt to clean up and thats as far as I have got...
I'm at the end of my tether and dont know what to do...
Please, please, please someone help me get to the bottom of my dilemma..
Thanks for reading and any help in advance.
Just a little more info to help diagnose
CWM RM Details
Rom Manager Premium v4.8.1.3
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0
Latest Recover;ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0
Thanks again peoples for taking the time to at least read this..

No where in there did I see "I unlocked my bootloader"
That's fine that you're rooted, but to use CWM Recovery, install ROMs, make Nandroid Backups, etc. you need to unlock your bootloader first! See the international part of the Pudding thread (since your in UK) in the dev section.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G

Ah Hah! You are correct at no point did I unlock my Booty, Thank you I shall give that a go and report back...

Ok so, I have trawled the forum and many others this avo on my research quest to unlock the bootloader as advised above but have been unsucessful so far.
I used the Pudding thread as you said.
when downloading the files advised I noticed that some were downloading as unrecognised files. I still proceeded to follow instructions as written.
Some of them like the RSD Lite I managed to unzip and extract with a programme I have however the next one needed said it was Undefined File type.
Anyway I deleted those files and tried following the other method listed underneath the driver via the link at "Guide for beginners provided by..."
This was unsucessfull as the "fastboot oem unlock" command was not recognised.
Pulled the batt and rebooted into normal mode and I'm back at SQ1
Bit stuck if anyone has any ideas..

Ok, here goes...
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer. (Available in Pudding Thread)
2) Go to pudding thread, and grab the Unlock Only IHOP sbf file (assuming your not on AT&T).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
"Unlock:
Unlocker only SBFs - These small 1mb SBF files will get your phone ready to fasboot oem unlock. They are the files most people should use.
ATT ONLY - Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares
Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP"
3) Download & install RSD Lite. (Available in Pudding Thread)
4) Put phone in RSD Protocol Mode.
a) Power off phone
b) Upon Powering ON, hold Power Button + Volume UP
5) Connect Phone to computer via USB
6) unzip the IHOP sbf file to root of your C:\, open RSD Lite program, and drag sbf file onto File Name Box. Make sure RSD Lite sees your device connected to it, and then flash away.
7) After the sbf has flashed (hopefully without any errors), reboot your phone into fastboot mode (Power Button + Volume Down; when you see fastboot, press volume up to enter fastboot mode).
8) Re-connect phone to computer if you disconnected it.
9) In the folder where your fastboot files are located (if you don't have fastboot files, go download them from sticky in General Section), press Shift + Right Click, select Open Command Window Here.
10) With phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC and command window open in fastboot file location, type:
fastboot oem unlock
*This will give you your device #
Then type:
fastboot oem unlock [insert your # here]
10) Bootloader should unlock, then type fastboot reboot to reboot the phone. Should say Unlocked on boot screen now, if all went well.
11) Install Rom Racer's Recovery or Rom Manager, and you're good to go.
Think that about cover it... if you have any problems, give details of what is happening and at what step. Also, check the Pudding thread for possible solutions, as most problems have already been solved there.

Thank you for your explanation... I will give it a go when I get back from work tomorrow...
I appreciate you taking the time to help..

A BIG THANKS!!!
Thanks so much for the advice and instructions... Unlocked beautifully... Now to find the ideal ROM....
Dont suppose there are any suggestions for International (UK) Atrix users??
Really appriciate the help..

I would recommend that you flashed TWRP 2.0 through CWM direct link. It lets you have touch screen in recovery; much easier! Then if you like CM7 you could try this or if you like the MIUI style (like me!) you would want to try this! It hasn't in-game audio yet but it's much cooler in my opinion. But Neutrino CM7 is really great!

Im not sure, maybe someone else can confirm. You should be using moto-fastboot to unlock & not regular fastboot, right?

People have had problems with TWRP.............stick with Romracers CWM, it's tried and trusted. If the touch screen in CWM gets you off, so be it, but I'd rather have a recovery that works with all ROM's, and not just some.

[Guide] Revive Redmi Note 4X (codename mido) after Hard Brick

1. What is a "hard bricked" phone?
Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device is unbootable without a bootloop. A hard Brick device generally show little to no signs of life (you wont be able to switch it on and the screen doesnt turn on).
A phone gets hard-bricked due to trying install ROM not made for the device or use ROM Manager incorrectly.​
2. Procedure
Step 1: Download all the necessary files below:
download link: en(dot)miui(dot)com/a-234.html
MIUI ROM Flashing Tool(*.exe file)
MIUI Fastboot ROM package for your device(*.tgz file) - Any variant Global / Chinese should work
Step 2: Extract MIUI Fastboot ROM package using 7zip or any other software you prefer
Correctly extracted folder should look like: (Image folder), flash_all.bat e.t.c.
After extracting rename parent folder to something short such as "mido". Avoid parent folder of ROM package extracts being too long
​Step 3: Install MIUI ROM Flashing Tool
If you get "driver not signed pop up during installation click "install anyway option or similar"
To test if everything installed correctly, connect your phone to your computer and open flash tool then hit refresh button, you should see an index and com port which indicates your phone is being detected.
If phone not detected restart computer with phone still connected and navigate to device manager->ports (you should see something like Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.) if its not there re install MIUI ROM Flashing tool
Note that if you try to flash your extracted package at this point the installer will fail to communicate with the phone, step 4 is very necessary to ensure flashing can commence​Step 4: Remove back cover and disconnect phone battery
Disconnect your phone from your PC and find a nice dissasembly video on youtube to help you remove the back case of your phone. The battery is connected to the phone via one black flex cable on the right of the battery, simply detach this to disconnect battery.​
Step 5. Flash your phone.
With your phone still opened, and battery still disconnected.
1. Open Flashing tool and connect your phone to your computer
2. Hit refresh to let your computer detect your phone.
3. Hit select/browse button and select parent folder from step 2. which has your rom

Yeah, I'm getting that. And then "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" But then I just tried a few more times, maybe unplugged the cable and plugged it in again, and it worked.

not working
not working on my RN4X. while using MiFlash 2015 it is stuck on "Send nop command" and while using the 2016 version of MiFlash it is either "cannot receive hello packet" or cannot "ping". the latest version of MiFlash cannot be installed because of some cabinet file is missing. I'm stuck with this for a whole day now. is there anything that I'm missing??

[GUIDE] Recover Moto Maxx from HARD BRICK

WHAT IS HARD-BRICK?​
The Hard-Brick, translated means device NULL, without function neither one! This happens a lot for forced updating: AS ANDROID 4.4.4 FOR 5xx ....
Most of the time, the cell phone stays in BOOTLOOP (infinite loop), another case as hard brick gets on the black screen with LED access.
Then you ask me?
Wagner, I Brickei my device, how to recover?
YES! There is always a way to recover. More remembering that each device has a way of doing, some are easier and others more complicated. We just need to find the right files.
So let's go!​
MOTOROLA DRIVER
Drivers required for device recognition on PC.
If you have already installed, you do not have to install again.
Download
HAND-BRICK.exe
It will install the drives, recover the cell phone and recover the fastboot.
Download
STEP BY STEP​
1- Turn off the phone and enter the fastboot mode:
Yes, I know the phone is off!
Plus the device is in operation and we need the phone to be turned off and enter the Fastboot mode.
HOW DO I DO THAT? I discovered two ways!
- Fast and easy mode:
OPEN THE PHONE AND DISCONNES THE BATTERY, IT WILL PLACE THE FATBOOT MODE.
IF YOU MAKE ERRORS IN COMMANDS, YOU CAN GET THE FASTEST ANSWER.
- Time-consuming and need patience:
PLUG THE PHONE TO CHARGE "INTO THE SOCKET", THE LED GOES ON, WAITES THE LED OFF.
If the LED does not turn on?
SAFETY THE POWER BUTTON ON + THE DOWN VOLUME, FOR 2 SECONDS OR ACCOUNT UP TO 30!
THEN PLACE INTO THE OUTLET, AND OBSERVE THAT THE LED WILL TURN ON! And wait until the LED turns OFF.
Why did I say I had to be patient?
Well, you're going to do this straight, each made the commands go wrong.
And it will only work again if the phone restarts. Many times the LEDs do not light up among other things like not recognizing on the PC.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT WORKS?
When using the unbrick, it will show you a path:
EXP:
C: / USERS / NAME / DESKTOP / MOTO MAXX / PORTUGUESE [BR] / 2 - REVIVER FB / UNBRICK - 5.1> .QBOOT BLANK - FLASH
AND THEN HE SHOWS THE RECOGNIZED FILES.
When of FAILED?
(BLANK-FLASH: **********):
THE FILES WILL BE DEMANDED TO BE RECOGNIZED, THEN IN THIS CASE THE COMMANDS WILL NOT WORK! AND AI FOLLOW THE STEPS AGAIN THE LED!
OK! now that the phone is off and ready to use the unbrick.
Remember, every time you use the unbrick and appear errors, you will have to repeat the STEP to turn on the LED!
2 - Connect the device to the PC, and check that the device is being recognized as QUSB-BULK.
Search the device manager for your PC.
And look in the part (Ports (COM and LPT)) and see if you recognize the device!
3- Install the MOTOROLA + Qualcomm USB drives.
In the Device Manager will shows that the device is being recognized as QUALCOMM.
4- Choose the Unbrick option and execute the files "GO" and wait ends up to 100%
NOTE THAT: THE PHONE WILL BECOME LIFE, AND SHOW THE BOOTLOADER WITHOUT ANDROID!
If it looks like FAIL - You have to repeat STEP 1 to turn on the LED, done that, Test other files
Contains GPT.BIN files from Android 4.4.4 to the latest version 6.0.1!
CASE NOTHING WORKS USE THIS FILE "download"
1 - REMOVE THE ARCHIVE
2- EXECUTE THE FILE WITH THE NAME "GO.bat"
3- NOTHING EVEN? ENTER WITHIN THE "DATE" FOLDER AND EXECUTE THE "01 GO.bat"
4 - NOTHING EVEN? EXECUTE THE FILE "02 GO.cmd"
ONE OF THOSE FILES MUST WORK, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY THIS FILE!
Now go to the Fastboot option and execute the files "GO"
Contains GPT.BIN files from Android 4.4.4 to the latest version 6.0.1!
THE NEW VERSION IS MARKED WITH RED!
6. Ready! the cell phone will restart with Android 5.0.2, but this one with ERROR does not connect in the WIFI!
To correct this error, turn off the phone
Enter Fastboot mode
Choose a ROM STOCK "here" and install.
If you want a customized ROM First:
Download the new version of TWRP "here"
Choose a CUSTOM ROM "here"
And the GApps according to Android Chosen "here"
READY! YOU CAN BE HAPPY AND INSTALL ANY ROM THAT YOU WANT.
REMEMBER THAT THE ROM Stock 4.4.4 CAN NOT BE UPDATED OVER.
Hope this helps!
