[Q] Grand 2 Duos SM-G7106 does not enter download mode

Hello,
A customer gave a Grand 2 (SM-G7106) for service, to have a custom rom & recovery installed.
I've been trying to use the method that's available in all the forums (put the phone to download mode, connect it to odin & etc...).
But the phone does not go into download mode in the first place for some reason.
Rather, when I keep holding Vol Down + Home + Power (or Vol Down + Power only) , a screen flashes to say 'Factory mode' for like 2 secs & then, I get these options
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, I tried, Vol Up + Power & I get these options
Please give me a solution to this.
Thanking you all in advance,

Not sure, it only came for service.
How do I distinguish between original & duplicate?
Even then, is there any solution to this problem though?

Hey buddies,
I got a 4.3 Samsung SM-G7106, with G7106ZNUANK1 from China Unicom (CHU). unfortunately, I can't root it properly. Tried CF-Root, TowelRoot and Framaroot but no luck.
I hope you can help me out guys, thanks!

May be it is super copy for grand 2,,try to chek with cpu identifier or cpu z,,
Sent from my SM-G7102

Nah, its not a supercopy, just found out that one of my friend was also using the same phone, same specs, same everything and he bought it on Samsung Store in China (He presented me with the copy of the receipt and box stuffs), so yeah, I think its a legit one since its running well on Kies also (unlike other copy phones which can't be detected thru Kies). Anyway, I found a root program from G7106ZNUANC1 and I forgot the other one, its thru SRS root, but didnt work for my phone unfortunately. :crying:
Hope someone could help me root my G7106ZNUANK1 soon!

Thanks for the tutorial buddy! Is it possible you can walk me thru it? Even though I'm kinda lurking here for quite some time, still some things are alien to me. I hate to say this, but, can you spoon-feed me the instructions in doing so? Would really appreciate your help!
Thanks! :good:

Hi.
I just got also a Grand 2 G7106, and does the same thing - chinese menus instead of recovery mode. Found a video on youtube that explained which single item does, and most are only a bunch of tests, and one for factory reset, but still with this same issue.
I also would like to know how to use odin without entering in download mode.

Hey buddy, try using SRS root software if you wanted to root your phone. If you're lucky enough that its not the G7106znuank1 model, then it can be rooted thru it. Otherwise, you'll be stuck like me. lol.. good luck! :good:

looks like i am stuck with you guys too. Have the same Samsung SM-G7106 . I tried using ODIN to install CWM. Despite Odin saying that it is PASS and device rebooted itself, when i try to go into recovery mode (CWM) it goes into default Android recovery mode instead with (write protected) ... i tried TWRP too using ODIN and it is not working. Tried both Odin 3.09 and 3.10

If you're still looking for a way to root your SM-G7106, I managed to do it with the KingoRoot app.
super simple process. It's based on Chainfire.
I should mention this was with: G7106znuank1

I have a grand 2 g7106 hard bricked and it is totally dead how to solve this problem please help.
Thanks in advance

VS980 TWRP bootloop after botched lollipop OTA while rooted like a dummy

So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?

I"ll help
You need to adb sideload xdabbebs download mode restore and flash back to stock. Here is an excellent guide on adb sideloading, download xdabbeb restore download zip and put it where it tells you to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

Just so you know it talks about flashing a ROM, but just use the zip you need insted, because it's the same principal.

i just happened to have a brand new data cable, tried again with same result so its not media related unless there is an issue with the plug itself, but it's charging and the Device manager shows the correct name ie VS980, it just has a yellow bang on it and i cant find a driver that changes that.
read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
which is where i found the "download mode restore" file you mentioned(i didnt see it in the thread you provided), but without the ability to get adb usb command to work i dont see how i can use it.
any ideas?

Put the zip on usb otg and flash it.

awesome, ty sir. i happened to have one of those laying around from when i cracked my screen on my old one and couldnt interact with the screen. took a while to find it buried but i have it and i have successfully been able to access a thumb drive. i think that might be all i need.
will report back though regardless.

ok, now i'm rrrrrEEAALLYY freakin confused...
successfully flashed (via the install section of twrp with usb otg thumbdrive mounted.)
xdabbeb_vs98028a_bootstack.zip

from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/xdabbeb-s-vs982-5-v1-0-0-t2975551
but when i reboot, it goes directly to twrp still.
wat? :'(

ok, installed this:
VS980 39A Firmware
from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
rebooted, went straight to twrp again.
installed
Restore to 100% stock
from the same page.
rebooted. it went into an upgrade screen that errored and then rebooted before i got a chance to write down the error. but when it came back up, it started "android is upgrading".
so it looks like this may have worked. again, will update the success/failure when i know for sure, but thanks for the help yall. i really do appreciate it.

WOO-FREAKIN-HOOOO!!!
at the setup wizard now.

Your fix worked for me also. Only used the two files listed above and wiped dalvik after flashing both, one after the other with no reboot in between. Many thanks.

sweet, i'm glad someone else found it useful.

Yep, now another problem though. ..no mobile data. .. working on it.
I'd suggest flashing the files in post 12 (I didn't and am having TONS of problems)
So I really didn't get a fix- still working on it.
I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

[HELP NEEDED] Bricked Yoga 2 830L after messed up OTA Update

Hello, my name is Chris and I was beeing stupid.
I accidentaly started the latest OTA System Update (in Germany) on my rooted 830L.
After that, it was stuck in Bootloop.
I thought I was being smart and tried to go back to stock Kitkat so start over from there.
So i used the tool from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/yoga-tab-2-830-1050-1380-to-kitkat-t3240487 whichh seemed to work.
Afterwards i tried to flash Stock Kitkat using this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62237392&postcount=9 and according to a german how to. That seemed to go well, too. But now the tablet starts in strange mode:
It is not recognized by the PC in this mode. I still can enter fastboot mode though. In Fone flash tool it is shown as INT1503... and not as Bayflie or whatever it was before.
Ist there anything i can do to repair this? Thank you very much in advance!!

go in fastboot mode and take a picture
try flashing the lollipop stock rom , maybe you are still on the lollipop bios.
1. download and extract someplace on your pc
2. uninstall your existing Phone Flash Tool and from the drivers folder install both files (Intel Phone Flash Tool and Android Driver accepting defaults) reboot pc when finished
3. place your tab in DNX mode (from power off press and hold both volume keys then press pwr to start, in a few you screen will show "Fastboot starting..." message and hang on that. you must get that message on your tab screen, restart from power off until you have it)
4. start the installed Phone Flash Tool and load flash.xml from the extracted YT2-830L... folder then Start Flashing, it will reboot when done

I just realized that I was even more stupid than I thought.
I flashed a 830F KitKat Rom to my 830L!!!! Is there a way to revert that?
I have added a picture of the fastboot screen above, since i couldnt link it here.
Thank you!

already instructed you with some stuff (also, that one is the DNX mode, fastboot mode is the one with the Droidboot menu etc). it is likely that your bios is still a lollipop one, the rom i linked is for lollipop. if it does not work just download the kitkat stock rom for your model and flash it

Ok, I am a step forward. At least there seems to be something.
Flashing your image with the tool did not work. It lead to the same screen as the first picture above.
However, when i tried to flash the KitKat Rom with your tool it startet and it went into Droidboot.
Flashing did not finish thoug. i get this error, see UPDATE 2 Above.

go in File->Options check the Force sparsing box and input 500MB in there (if is not already) then repeat the whole flashing procedure
i asked you to flash lollipop first just in case you were still on the lollipop bios (for the future so you should know, you can flash a stock rom matching your existing install if you brick, for eg you could have flashed a stock lollipop rom from the beginning) no longer the case as now you have downgraded the bios to kitkat. after you flash kitkat rom remember to set your region code before you start to update through ota's.

Excellent, Tab is booting and seems to be working!!! Region code is changed to de. Thank you very much.
From your other post that i have seen there it seems possible to flash the LC Formware to enable Calling?
Would i proceed by updating to Lilipop, all ota updates and then flash the lolipop 830LC firmware as sugested in the other post? Will it work with region code de and is it rootable?
Thank you very much again!

Hello there,
I'm facing pretty much of the same issues.
Having the 1050l Version, tried to update the ota while having the device rooted. So after that, it just booted until the "those who do"-sign.
I followed the "get back to kitkat" thread, downgraded the bios (might have worked i think) and flashed YT2-1050L_S0225_150422_ROW to it.
Right now it is just coming to the very first "powered by Android"-screen and aborts rebooting, booting again, and so on and so on.
Might it be that theres sill the lollipop bios on it?
Thought about flashing yoga_tab_2_osc_android_to_lollipop_201505.rar (Official stock rom) on it, but dont want to make any further stepp before having your advice.
I hope for you help,
Thank you.

this is the 1050L kikat stock rom and this is the lollipop one
if you are sure that you downgraded the bios when using the restore kitkat bios tool then flash the kikat one

Thank you very much.
It just appeared to me that i flashed the "erase" image, so i might try to flash the "blank factory" one.

do not use other files than flash.xml, you can erase the imei for eg or even worse some xml files are writing a bios that will hard-brick. always use a known stock rom and never use other files than flash.xml unless instructed otherwise!

Oh boy... ye i will keep that in mind definately!
Is there btw any possibility to charge the device in the current status?

Ok, so after your hint with the bios i went to reexecute your kitkat-bios-reset, and i'm in the same bootcycle, the programs i preparing for pushing files all the time. Hardbrick confirmed?

if you used the 'restore kitkat bios' tool once there's no need to use it again (you already have the kitkat bios)
download the kitkat stock rom i linked, extract it and flash using intel phone flash tool (flash.xml file) from dnx mode (from pwr off, press and hold both vol keys then pwr on, screen will stay on a 'fastboot starting...' message, you must have this message on your tab when you click the 'start flashing' on the intel phont flash tool)

Ok, 7m of dl left, tho many thanks to you already, really appreciate your effort!!

It worked!
Oh man, really thank you, glad you were up to help me Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately I got the IMEI changed/reset (probably due flashing other than flash.xml)... would you pls know about any solution to change it back so that LTE starts working? Thanks a lot!

ok guys i got permanent root there is one pre qualification you will need to accomplish this you must be on software version LS775ZV3 currently this is the only version that can get temp root from kingroot which is what you will need to start this process. ok so if your one of the lucky ones that have that software version and didnt update go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 and download the latest version of kingroot which i believe is 4.9.6 install it and run it and get temp root, after you verify that your phone is rooted what we need to do now is replace kingroot with super su without rebooting the phone a softboot is ok the temp root will stick with a softboot your going to have to go to the link and follow the guide there to replace kingroot with super su using terminal emulator http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 . so after you follow that guide kingroot will be gone and super su is now on your phone. super su will ask you to update the su binary make sure to use the normal option, after you press that button it will start to update but will fail so what your going to have to do next is install (Root) FlashFire to install the su binary update manually which can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en and the su binary zip file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 . i recommend the stable version, download that zip and put it at the root of your internal memory after you do that and install FlashFire on your phone its time to get down to business open FlashFire when it asks for root permission make sure to grant it after that hit the + symbol then press the button that says "flash zip or ota" when it opens it will show the content of your internal memory locate the su binary zip file that you put there earlier and press it to load it up to flash, make sure the only thing checked is the "mount/system read/ write" and hit the check mark to ok it then hit the wipe button and make sure the only two things checked are the "Dalvik cache" and the "Cache partition" hit the check mark to ok it. after that scroll down to the very bottom and hit the flash button after that it will start to flash the updated su binary and then it will reboot and i know it seems scary but the red notification light will stay on until it reboots all the way and there will be red text that pops up and says boot verification fail it scared the hell out of me i thought i bricked my phone again anyway give it a minute or two to boot and once its done and boots into android you have a fully rooted LG Stylo 2 like i said i have the boost variant not sure about the other versions but these steps are pretty universal on any android device also just so i don't get blamed do this at your own risk im not responsible for you messing your phone up but it worked for me perfectly i have restarted my phone normally a hundred times and root is there every time anyways enjoy im not much of a developer so please don't ask me about custom recoveries or custom roms i don't do that but now that we have root maybe a developer might come in and help or something.

when you remove the battery and restart the phone is it able to boot back into android? not sure why it would hang just follow the steps to a T it should work, this is the exact same way they rooted the kindle fire 7 5th gen with blocked bootloaders as well that is why I said its pretty universal and not device specific but if your phone is fine just reboot and retry.

I've rebooted and retried multiple times over and always have the same issue. My phone has always had the red writing when you first power it up, ever since I rooted it with KingRoot anyways. Is there anyway to get it back to 100% stock? Would that help? And when I say 100% stock I mean above and beyond wiping it

You must be getting some error message on the black screen. It usually fails if the framework is incorrect.

Make sure your phone isn't Version 4. If it is....then that's probably your issue. This method only works for Version 3 not 4

Hhhhhmmmm......I would say to put all your info that doesn't expose you up on here so people know of your issue. Speak to an admin or the OP and see what info they would require to be posted. Every article I've read so far has been positive when it comes to V3 on Boost variant of Stylo 2. Unfortunately I have V4; so I'm patiently waiting.

Silly Me.

Great news about the downgrading, sucky news about your device. Hope you get it back running.

I flashed the zv6 tot and kept getting an error but like said i was passing the antirollback. I think lgup doesnt like the zv6 tot. But 5 times i wiped the partitions as long as i didnt reboot and directly reflashed zv8 in the same session i was good.
And it hung the last time and i nudged my crappy usb cable like a idiot i rebooted
I am in 9008. No worries. I got my old s5 up and runnin. I think of i can fmake a debrick img just like other lgs i can boot from sd card. I put g5 in the drawer for a few days to think about it.

It's always great to be able to downgrade, but what would this be useful for? For a possible root method?

Or for people like me who had the G5 given to me flashed to Boost. I can't use it on a CDMA network unless it is flashed back to stock. They did away with the plan my friend was on... it was given to me on ZV9. Very helpful.

Thats what im working on now adapting this to the sprint g5. I got kdzs extracted gonna try a diffrent zv6 tot 1st one i got i think is a bad download.
Just been real busy to try. And i dont brick my only phone.so im not all desperate and freaking out. Thats normally why im not scrared to test stuff out. Its just a phone. Yea i loved it but i know one day even 3 or 4 years from now might be fixable.

Just throwing this out there, when I did this Google Play Services kept force closing, I uninstalled Google Play Services for Instant Apps and it stopped. Went from ZVA to ZV8 with no other problems though.

The screen shoulda never been black. Shoulda been dl mode the whole time. Plug into pc and look in devoce manager and see if its the qloader9008.
Also if it made it to 100% there shouldnt have been no issues. As the fone usually reboots when pc shows around 80 to 85% try looking to see if u can boot recovery fac reset or dl mode any more....

thank you, is there any zva to re flash it?
or how to get boot back?
when i connect it to pc in device manager only this appairs "LGE AndroidNET USB Serial Port (COM41)"
