[Q] Wrong recovery file applied with ODIN -- AHHHHH!

Well now that was just the stupidest thing I have done in a while....I am sure you will agree.
I just used ODIN to roll back to what I thought was going to be GT1.0 US Retail WIFI but what I DID was apply the European .tar by accident.
My once P7510UEKF3 is now a GT-P7500XXKFF. It's a locked tab and CWR is now gone. ODIN seems to be connecting.
....any chance for recovery or did I just loose it???

Two things
1) check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 thread to get the ODIN version of CWM and flash it
2) This does not belong in the Dev section

1) Thank you.
2) Understood (now). Thank you, I will ensure question go to their proper location. My bad.

CWR = restored
Root = restored
Model & Build = restored
3.1 OTA ROM = restored
It was bootlooping after that so I just clear the cache/Dalvik and wipe.
Success! Thanks for that...after searching and weaving through way too many threads it ended up being a simple process I just wan't started correctly (aka the ODIN friendly CWR file.
Whew!!!

I would strongly disagree, I do think this belongs in the Dev section; I sure as hell wouldn't post this in the general section, I would want the advice or input of other people who are actually hacking their tabs...i.e., developers. Really tired of development or hacking-related (appropriate) questions being moved to the "general question" section. That section is for just that - general or basic questions, like how do I adjust this setting or that setting, or how do you think this screen compares with that other model's screen, etc, etc. I can say that once one gets past the people who have to get the "this doesn't belong in this section" comments out of their system, there is always a MUCH greater chance of having the best parties see and offer advice on the given problem in this area than in the general section.

It actually belongs in the q&a section hence the q in the title. The link I gave in that post does exactly what your asking. There is instructions to do most things you want on the tablet, but the point is to ask questions in there so the OP can grow as the community grows. That link is also a sticky in the dev thread.

I am aware what the guide says, and apparently you've missed the point - I am quite simply stating that I disagree with the "rules" as they currently stand, which I have the right to do, and in my opinion I believe I have a logical point. I mean honestly answer this - if I have a question for specifically for advanced users (aka i.e., developers), where would I have a better chance of having it seen by such users: in the general section (which is frequented by more novice users) or in the developer section?

With all due respect, if you don't like the rules this is not the place to complain about them.
Take it up with a forum administrator.

FAO chrisd1a1

If you're going to say, "thread closed. please post in the existing firmware thread", please be a bit more helpful and give a link to the existing firmware thread you're referring to.
eom

Hmm...what?
Edit: You are right. I don't see any existing lg6 thread.

Do you mean the existing firmware thread that all firmware posts are supposed to be put in .
The one called Stock Official Firmwares even the Guides and Roms official firmware makes it only a choice of two .
Message to mods should go via report thread if you want them to read it .
jje

i didn't even bother to request the mod to not close that one because that happened to blfb thread when it was new then they reopened it since the official firmware thread is getting cluttered thus i thought they would do the same for this one.
since that didn't happen, i'd like to request to re-open that thread and rename it to XXBLG6 new features so as to save the other main thread from clutters and this one will be specific only to new xxblg6 ; it will be easier to search what's new.

Damn was just about to post in there too

Single thread, choice of two - it's all too confusing for simple me and my simple buddies ....
All I'm saying is what I said - it would have been *more* helpful to have put a link to the thread chrisd1a1 (which ever of the two you're on about, I dunno, I'm even more confused) in the "closing" post. Simples, no?
Re. second part, I'd rather open the issue up for discussion than keep it backroom, ta very muchly.

Closed, if you have a problem with a mod, feel free to PM them.
Also, take a look at the rules
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

There is two stock firmware thread, stickied in this subsection, just open them and read, one is more of a guide as well, the other just a list of download links, but you would know this if you had clicked on them.
Also there is a sticky that should help guide you to which forum subsection you need to be in to find stuff.
Also.. as mods we have multiple forums to look after, do you really want us, as well as moving misplaced threads around, keeping the peace, and everything else we do, to do your research for you? I think not.
If you have a problem with this post, or anything else, feel free to PM me.

Are you here all crazy ? I tried to search everything and NONE link was working,and the methods were un-clear most of the threads were dead links,and also some of them were "wrong" so i made the best choice to open a new thread.
Any problem with that ? Do you now what "forum" word means ?Thank you for your time but don't answer if you think something rather than that.

Hi mate
Lots of people here including me offered you our help but you did not take the time to read , search or look out for the solution you need, the idea in all these “posts or forums” is to get feedback from other users, keeping the thread alive is the OP responsibility, keep it alive with valuable inputs, precise questions and not opening multiple threads filling the forum with lots of useless threads, that offer no information to other members who responsibly use the search function.
The threads i offered you are guides and sticky threads
Regards

Okay let's start again from the beggining.
I said on the early start of my thread which things or threads ARE NOT WORKING.
Let's move on,
nunein suggested to a towel root, which i said earlier had a dead link,so I COULDN'T done it.So not working for me.
Let's move on,
Next is Strephon Alkhalikoi which answered that i am blind and i didn't see the link which was there .That wasn't working before.
Let's move on,
Once again.
Then it's Kushan02 , that i giving me a thread with a 404 thread error. Which on the start was working but afterwards was moved.
Then in conclusion , there WAS a lot of answers for me to help me out,which i had ALREADY SEARCHED,and weren't working, so in conclusion i had to find another way out to root my phone.
That's why i tried to open this thread and ask for more opinions and ways,now that i have reported all the threads with the dead links or PM'ed the thread starter for broken links,everything are working good and well, and i have finally rooted my phone via the "re-uploaded" way of TowelRoot & Odin.
Thank you and a happy new year to all with less judgement. :fingers-crossed:

Help needed. Can't update to 2.2.1 because phone is rooted

I rooted the phone and now can't update to the latest version Oxygen 2.2.1 automatically
Is there any way around the problem?

If you have rooted your phone, you probably also have replaced the original recovery with twrp. In that case, just download the 2.2.1 ota zip from the ota thread in this forum and flash it manually in twrp.

Yes there is a way around: search. Because this question has been answered BILLION AND BILLION times. Even if you are a new to XDA, you should know there is rules. You should know there is a search bar located in top right of your screen. There is a index on this forum which gives you link to @Spannaa's thread where he groups all OTA and Stock ROMs + a tutorial to update when you're root. I gave you all information needed.

There is no need to be rude, I actually searched several pages before posting my question, as I was pretty sure the question had most likely been asked before. Certainly don't think it's been asked BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of times.
But thanks for your help, I will be sure to do a more THOROUGH search next time I think about posting

I agree to him, you do not need to be rude, this community is about helping others so it is not a big deal if you typed the solution. If you look at it , it would have taken less less words than the long comments which you posted.

HOW THE HECK COULD YOU NOT FIND IT. You obviously didn't didn't search very hard my son

I concur,no way he searched.. it's always 1 of the 5 under OnePlus 2 general.

The fact that OP had his phone rooted indicates he probably has some basic knowledge of unlocking bootloader, flashing recoveries/ROMs..etc and therefore should be resourceful look up the solution himself be it on XDA or not. The point is with an easy, and somewhat obvious solution to such a common problem (tbh I too had this exact same issue when I first got the phone, but I knew then I had to do a manual flash) surely people will get frustrated when asked.

I agree we are here to help, but come on, a question that has been answered so many times, in many threads, doesn't deserves one more topic. It reminds me the fingerprints problem on CM13 when it didn't work yet: it was about 2 or 3 question about it per page: "is fingerprint working???", "does fingerprint working". Come on, there is search function, so why don't use it ? Imagine if we create a thread every time we have a problem with our device but this problem has already been solved. Imagine state of the forum after all those threads. And yeah, as said above, if this man as his phone rooted, well, I think he has some basics knowledge about OnePlus Two.
