Last night i tried installing Clockwork Recovery on my Tab (it's a US T-Mobile model). I got an error message in ADB, but i thought i had worked through the issues. Then i installed Rom Manager and tried to make a backup through Rom Manager. It rebooted my Tab, but it never made it to Recovery; it froze on the white T-Mobile screen. At this point, i can reboot, but it always gets stuck on the white T-Mobile screen. If i hold down volume-down and power, i get into download mode, and if i hold down both volume-up and volume-down with power i get some text (sorry, can't remember specifics b/c i'm at work w/o my Tab).
I'm not a total Android noob, but i am new to Samsung (i've had a Droid and a Droid X, and i am very familiar with SBF-ing Mototorla android devices... i assumed that Samsung devices used something similar but i guess i was wrong). I feel that since i can get into download-mode, i should be able to re-flash the stock firmware and resurrect my Tab, but i'm not familiar enough with Odin (which i gather is what i'll need to use) to know HOW to do this, let alone where to get the correct version of Odin. I have found a file on these forums: T-Mobile.zip, which i think is what i'll need to flash, but again, i don't know how to do it.
I'd appreciate if someone would take pity on me and help me through my problems!

Looks like i figured it out myself. Thanks to anyone who was contemplating a reply

What was the fix?
Just out of curiosity, how did you resolve it?
As i said in my original post, i had found a T-Mobile.zip file on these forums. I originally tried using Odin to flash it to my Tab without success. Then, while scouring the web for answers, i found a blog post where someone flashed that same file to his semi-bricked Tab and it worked. The video showed the version number of Odin (1.7), which was different than the version i had tried using. Sooooo, i found v1.7 online, downloaded it, and used the PDA option to flash T-Mobile.zip to my Tab... and it WORKED!
I did have a lot of force quits of my apps after rebooting, and the guy on the blog said that if this happened, to do a factory data rest. So, success AND now i know how to flash back to stock which is even better! I hope this info is useful to others who get themselves into the situation i got myself into.

Hello, my DVP suddenly went bonkers and all i get is the DELL boot logo. I tried going into recovery to restore but pc wont detect. I cant do anything. i cant install anything using cab sender since cant detect and i cant unbrick due to same reason....anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
It sounds like the internal SD card crapped out. You could try my unbrick method but it sounds like it isnt being detected. Check in device manager to see if the USB device is being detected.
no detection at all. my friend told me he installed something on it using cab sender. Don't know what files were used but if need ill ask him. If only connection still worked i can restore stupid phone.
Anyone has any idea what to do? phone is just being paper weight now would like to use it again

i had the same problem with other DVP, and i think that the processor is dead, because the snapdragon QSD8250 have this issue, i know but some month´s ago, i buyed two non working hd2, thinking that have problems of software and after research many days, i find this problem ,this proccesor dies for overheating , to solve this i buyed two hd2 with broken display and change the board, for this reason, buyed a broken dvp to do the same, ...sorry for the bad news,
Im pretty sure its not a cpu issue, i mentioned my friend force install something using cab sender and the issue happened because of that. Im trying to figure out how to recovery from this issue. thanks for help anyways

I agree with you. I have the same problem because of skipped upgrading of ROM, form 7004 to 7720. I have tried some steps on the device,
and find JTAG pins on board, now I'm seeking a riffbox to fix the problem, maybe Nosker can answer if this is feasible. I had followed his thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207805
Just for your reference...
seems very interesting. I hope you guys are able to proceed with what you guys are doing. I read the thread, so if i were to fix it i would need a riftbox? im very noobie in the stuff mentioned in the thread but if you guys are able to give a guide then i can follow it . best of luck to you guys!
did you guys ever got this resolved? i'm having the same problem.
ok... anyone tell me, what's happen, when we re-write sd card from another device?
my dell venue pro stock won't boot normally

Has anyone come up with a fix for this issue? my DVP will come on and the DELL logo will appear for a few seconds then the connect to pc screen
comes up and thats all it will do. when this first started happening I could take the battery out and put it back in like 50 times and it would finally start working and it would stay working until the battery went dead now I can't get it to boot at all. any info would be great thanks
Looking around on the web for days and I'm finding absolutely nothing online for custom or official firmware downloads. I only bought this phone due to budget constraints and a week or so ago ZTE pushed out an update which errored during installation causing my phone to be stuck in a perpetual bootloop. Does anyone know of anything out there that can help me get it fixed so I don't have to waste more money on a very limited budget? Searched through and found a few various posts about rooting (which is easy, just use kingroot app and done) but I need to actually reinstall android fully and ZTE themselves just basically told me to go **** myself by sending me a link to buy another.
hi friend do you find a official firmware?
i have the same issue and i cant find nothing

make sure phone is powered off
hit download on sp flash tool
plug in phone after downloading in sp flash tool while holding volume up and it should start flashing yellow until it says success
this will reset the phone to stock and erase everything
anybody have any help getting this phone model to fastboot to unlock bootloader to flash twrp? so i can install cfw?
Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.
So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.
*Edit* I found stock rom for my phone here in the fórum, but it says i need to have stock recovery but i have the TWRP recovery. Is there any way that i can do it, with that recovery?
*Edit 2* In Erecovery, when i try to download it says "Getting package info failed"
First of all... Why don't you have a backup in TWRP? ALWAYS back up your stuff before doing ANYTHING in TWRP.
Second: there is an option for factory reset within the EMUI system itself. Absolutely no need to mess around in TWRP for something like that. Of course you can "factory reset" in TWRP but this can also wipe your system which then requires you to flash something.
To your problem:
Since I luckily was not forced to flash a stock firmware yet, some more information would be nice.
In which format does the firmware come (link to where you downloaded it)? TWRP can handle .zip files. So if it comes as a .zip file, you can try flashing it through TWRP (really depends on what you downloaded!)
If you only need stock recovery, try accessing TWRP with your phone plugged into a PC.
This way it normally fires up the stock eRecovery.
Hi, yeah, i should have done a backup, thank you for the advice. The firmware i used is this one www .stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-marshmallow-firmware-b100/ - i found it here, and a user used it to, not sure why, but he says that it worked.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, because i'm new to this. The TWRP boot, but i can't get my phone to get recognized by the huawei software, not sure if it need to. Even with the drivers installed, it only connects if the phone is on the menu.

Hmm maybe best way is to send the user that made it work a PM and maybe he can provide you a guide on how to do it.
And maybe he or you can then provide a guide here on how to do it.
This device is rather new and the forum is building up so there is a lot of work to do and a lot of things have to be worked around.
Hope you can fix it, like I said, I cannot really help you properly since I never had the problem and therefore do not really understand what's happening on your device.
hi, thank you for the reply. In fact i have solved the problem few minutes ago, and was thinking on do a quick fix tutorial or something like that. Because it's really fast, just need to do the right way.
I'm really happy for the help i got in this forum, all the threads are really intersting. Going to try help others with the same problem that i had. Thank You

Could you help me with this problem i have the same problem on Huawei l-21 ??
Always have a backup of your fresh system on TWRP. Then whatever happen just restore it whenever you think you messed up your device and you should be fine ALWAYS.
Hello, guys! It's now my 2nd post asking the exact same help. I'm very desperate to fix my phone : Asus Zenfone 5.
I have been looking for solutions for a long time, I'm not easily quit on googling. So far, this problem is one that haven't been fixed and very unlikely to be fixed
I have contacted many people including that Taiwan guy who is an expert on Zenfone 5 (forgot the name) and I'm EXTREMELY DESPERATE
I know this problem might be similiar with other case, but this one seems to be rare, because I have not found the solution.
Here is the timeline before my device got soft-bricked :
1. I upgraded to Lolipop with a different version of it's recovery, but still worked.
2. One day, ANR Keeps reporting that SystemUI has stopped. Rebooted and the phone went bootloop.
3. (probably the problem) I flashed wrong version of recovery (I think it was kitkat's recovery) and after then, I'm not able to get into DROIDBOOT.
I have tried several ways :
1. Sending package to my phone over ADB Sideload (It says something like error mounting blabla)
2. Flashing with xFSTK (It says something about driver, and I googled it. Found everyone with the same problem, endless solutions)
3. Downloaded about 1 gig of files (DEBRICK Files) and still, gets stuck somewhere.
So anyone have a solution for me, please?? I'm totally desperate right now, I lost hope. Never had this kind of problem, the thing is that so far, I never had such never-solved case in my life, I will always
find a solution from Google even that would take a long time. I have been searching passively for about 8 months, and I got none of those works
I will be very thankful if anyone would try to help this problem, I will bring detailed information you want, because I don't have solutions left.
Sorry for bad English
Thank You so much!
From what I know (even though I am far from being an expert, just tried and researched a lot), there is no way to fix it.
The bottom line of the problem is that you can't repartition internal storage of zenfone 5 because of x86 architecture, there is no proper Linux partition tools for it. And the oem partitioning via bootloader just fails (gpt command failed).
this type of problem has raised extremely in last month because of some reason.
I just don't understand why but, perhaps, some error in the recent twrp version/s or flash scripts.
My zf5 is a full brick now with no chance for salvation, service can't fix it as well, says impossible to repartition because of the mentioned above.
Hope, I'm wrong
Try @dgadelha "unbrick" package what contain system in .raw format
It will not help. Because any unbrick method involves repartition, which is impossible in this case.

But, @kihope12, that would be great if you post a link to that package or thread. Thanks!
Normaly i know link only for zenfone assist, what dont work anymore, so.. just try search on XDA
Well.. I'm done then.. I had so much hope with that phone after recovering it from bootloop.. Now there is no chance to get it back..
Anyway, thanks a lot for letting me know about this, otherwise I would keep looking for something impossible to fix.. And, you seem to know much about this.
Thanks again!!
