ZTE Blade G Lux Bricked or System Read Only

ZTE Blade G Lux Bricked or System Read Only - Blade General

Hi, I have an unusable Blade G Lux from ZTE. Yesterday it became to show the message "The application X stopped unexpectedly" this for all the applications installed. Then it start to reboot over and over again. I did not made any update or rooting process. I was listenning music.
So after 8 hours of research in the web, so far I tried to install the twrp recovery image with the SPFlash tools, the process show the successfull confirmation, but when I try to boot with the new image it load the Android System Recovery <3e> Interface. I tried already many roms, recovery images and it didn't work. Tried with adb sideloaded, factory reset from recovery menu and nothing works. With the Flashtool also made the auto format flash but still the same.
Then by a very good luck the system doesn't rebooted and I saw the internal storage, tried to remove some files but after unmounting the system and mounted again, the files that I deleted was there. So now i'm wondering if the system is in Read-Only mode and because of that i can't write anything and the factory reset also doesn't work. Since I can use the phone because it keeps rebooting I don't know what else to do. FSCK from linux didn't either.
Any help is appreciated.

you have here a package files for spflashtool

Thank you vaserbanix.
After made the process with the files that you kinldy provided and the SPFlashTools, I get the same behavior, the system didn't wrote the new files, here is the evidence of the progress in SPFT and the confirmation:

But when I boot the phone it has the factory recovery and boot. Also tried again to wipe/factory reset without success:

if you can boot the phone in recovery, download the stok rom from zte site for your country and install it with the recovery
or you can try to format the all flash(except botloader if can, if not, format all flash) before you flash"Download" the files

Yup, yesterday did that but it failed at some point with the error: Symlink Failed, tried the same image in a working zte blade g lux and works like a charm. Also checked the update script from the room and the symlinks that is using are only to move bin commands so I guess the Phone is dead :crying: because nothing can write to the internal sd system is Read-Only or dead.
Any other hints appreciated.

For the same type. I started with only the recovery image and then downloaded the Stock ROM, and then one custom from one guy of youtube, and yours. But the main issue is that the phone never writes the new image nothing happens.

@ nshaka
I ask you again!
Did you FORMAT with spflashtool the all flash before flashing the files?
If that doesnt work, dont know other way to restore the phone

I answer again: Yes, did it with the both options: Auto format Flash(whole flash & except bootloader). Still the same. Nothing is changing the phone. Neither the factory reset from recovery. It just blew after a song ends using VLC and then reboot & reboot. I did not installed any rooms or tried to root the phone before that, it was working fine and then this.

[Q] Stuck at nexus logo, and more.

After i rooted/unlocked my phone I booted it up and it got stuck on the nexus splash screen. I did find a solution to the problem which was to put it back to factory settings. alright, great, problem solved, but when i go to do the reset i come across errors as seen in the picture. Anyone know how to fix?

I had that issue when downloading the file through the toolkit. I went and manually got the images from google, placed them in the correct folder within the kit and flashed successfully.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

dont use a toolkit. do it manually like what ^^ said

I recommend flash SuperSu zip file via CWM Recovery.
It's totally easy and safe.

I had this issue. Factory reset/clear caches should fix it.

factory resetting clears your cache, as well as dalvik cache.

Not sure what I did wrong.
Backed up phone
unlocked phone
downloaded CWM
put SU on phone
went into put loader and flashed ( I think ) CWM
then when I go into recover mode the phone gets stuck on google logo.
Cleared cache etc. but nada.
Downloading factory image now....on a very slow connection and will take 3 hours. Any way around this? What are my options.

I'm totally stuck here too. I have the exact same as the OP.
I've manually placed the stock image in the folder structure. It's starts to do stuff, reboots and then the toolkit says Waiting for Device (forever).
Nothing happens after this.
This all occurred while I was installing my Google Apps. I stupidly installed Chainfire3D, and installed the drivers. It restarted and this never ending cycle happened. I only read that they weren't compatible with ICS or Jellybean afterwards
Any help is greatly appreciated. :crying:

Hi guys
I am stuck on the google logo, I have cleared dalvik etc unmounted / mounted system but cannot get to data partion
I have wiped the SD card now I cannot connect to copy a rom back to the device... it just hangs on Google logo.
I can access recovery but still cannot access data partition to add rom.
any ideas?
thank you

There is a file contain in the factory image download called flash-all.bat Double click on this file while your phone is connected in bootloader mode and it should automatically flash the stock image for you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

i also have this problem.
I tried to flash stock factory image with the .bat file but no success. I am stuck at the nexus bootlogo...
Can still enter recovery and fastboot.
Edit:
solved my problem. I went to CWM Recovery, and checked in "mounts and storage" that none of the partitions were mounted. Cache was mounted in my case. I unmounted Cache and rebooted.
Phone boots fine now!

[Q] i9505 /system mount trouble

Hi.
I've searched through a LOT of posts, but only found slightly related (and for me unhelpful) comments.
I have a GT-i9505 (i9505xxuame2), and rooted/flashed it using Odin / modified_cf_root. However, although I have succsessfully installed TWRP - AND have (seemingly) been able to make a full backup to my external sdcard, I am completely unable to install CM 10.1 nightly / AOKP (both i9505 versions).
Whenever i try this (via recovery of course), it always fails, reporting it was unable to mount /system. When restarting the phone, it just 'hangs' on the splash screen. The only solution then is to restore my backup, which works fine... HOWEVER, I suspect that since it has problems with the /system folder, It might not actually have backed this up, and that restore only works because /system happens to be untouced by my attempts to flash it.
Trying various tips & tricks found here on XDA - like manually mounting /system in TWRP, reflashing in Odin etc. has not helped me. I also noticed that when entering download-mode, it states that write protection is enabled (as in this thread - which unfortunatly also did not solve my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267107). I also tried CWM, but using this I'm unable to manually mount both /system, /sdcard AND extSdcard (or whatever extrenal memory was called... don't remember.. ) - and it of course has the same problems trying to flash either ROM.
My feeling is that my unit is not (fully) rooted, but like I said, I've been unable to find a solution. I really hope you can help, because I'd love to have CM on this delightful piece of hardware.

Format /system in recovery and then try flashing cm. It shouldn't be an issue mounting system if the partition is formated.

Please elaborate for me,
Wipe does a format of the partition, is that enough or do I need to actually to use Format in the menu, as in kill the whole internal storage?

I think I'll have to go for full format.

Or is CWM maybe a better alternative?

interesting since 2.5.0.2 it says, unable to mount /system, and then promptly crashes
oh and the same happened in CWM

could I flash AOKP via odin maybe?
not like I like the idea >.<

It generally takes a few goes for the recovery to flash the rom in s4. Until someone works out what causes that bug in the recoviers you kind of just have to reboot and try again and again if necessary until it sticks.

Aright, I think I found the way for me
Boot into recovery --> wipe system --> mount system --> if ok --> flash
if not ok --> retry the whole process
Strange stuff, but yay thanks all for your help

I had this problem after flashing MH8 firmware (new bootloader) with Odin.
No matter what I tried in recovery I kept getting an error saying that it failed to mount system.
I had an older version of PhilZ on my ext SD luckily, so I flashed this, rebooted recovery then I could format system and it was mounted again.
then just flashed my newer recovery back and all was good

Hi guys,
it appears I'm having similar issues to you both but after 5 hours of constantly trying to fix this I'm still stuck! I've opened a new thread and I was wondering if you might be kind enough to help me out on there please?

Device/Phone model number?
Any samsung bootllop can be solved here though
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "

Thanks for the reply
Some details then
Model is Samsung S4 GT-I9505
I rushed into booting and selected an aokp rom and then selected the latest apps file for it and got stuck in an endless boot loop.
I am now trying to install a GPE Rom
gpe-rom-for-galaxy-s4-android-4-4-4
I am still able to get into recovery and download mode.
I flashed philz_touch_6.15.6-jflte.tar.md5 using odin3 on windows then rebooted into recovery and did a clean up for new rom and factory reset then attempted to move the rom onto my phone and thats where I have run into trouble. I am trying to use adb to push the file into it because I seem to have somehow wiped the sdcard(i.e. in phil recovery under mounts and storage there is no /sdcard to mount or unmount.
Thins I tried:
Using a micro sd card and copying the file to it and inserting it in the phone and installing from /sdcard1 but it just aborts the install and gives me a failed error
I tried to push the file with adb by opening terminal cd to downloads where the rom is located and used
Code:
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0 rom.zip
but this never completes. it is supposed to return the size of the files but nothing happens. I know adb can see the phone as when I type adb devices I get back a response saying recovery
Can anyone give me any pointers or advice. Happy to start from scratch but so far every tutorial/discussion on installing roms etc i have followed has failed.
Incidentally I do not have a backup because I thought I made one successfully when I fist rooted but when I went to restore it it gave me a md5 hash invalid error
Thanks

Have you tried a different recovery? You can try TWRP 2.8.1.0 and see how it goes. Just us odin to flash the recovery and use a usb card reader to put the rom onto the SD Card. To be safe you can also try a different rom, if you are after a GPE rom, I recommend Dan's GPE rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353

That is one of the roms I was hoping to install before I successfully flashed it back to stock.
Will look into it.
I couldn't use a card reader to put the rom on because I was having difficulty reading the external sd card in recovery.
I tried many different recoveries. TWRP, CMR and Philz but had no luck with any of them.
Do you know if all packages get made into a complete rom to install with Odin? like I did with my stock rom?
Just seemed an easier way to install it.

My english is very bad.
Your back Stock Rom with Odín download firmware SamMobile.
Custom, download custom again its possible corrupt download, wipe data, system, caché, Factory reset.
You have use one recovery or not installing previous backup for MD5 Missmatch
Format SD in the phone.
Proccess very slow with Odín install Stock Rom, root, recovery, install custom
Try with recovery using for previous backup for restore backup.
Mi inglés es muy malo, en inglés no te lo puedo explicar mejor.

Dont flash a custom rom on an already bootlooped phone.
Either flash your stock rom or you can restore a backup via recovery.
Then start experimenting again..as flashing and more flashing and more more flashing on a bootloop can cause a few things to go crazy.
It is not recommended. But then your choice. Its not a big task of coming to a stock firmware then continuing with things...

I found it a big task and I am used to this sort of thing. I got there eventually but thanks for the advice. Will keep that in mind in case I get stuck in a boot loop again.
Will pay more attention to backups etc when I flash the next one.

No generally what happens it people skip things while being hyper relating to flashing.
Basics are never to be left out. When adb terminals and things weren't there, the tedious processes were used to recover.
(flash stock..flash recovery..flash things then when you're in a boot loop if factory reset doesn't work)
And you should always have a backup+updated stock firmware handy.
If either doesn't work for you always have a support

So i kinda figured it out.
well, I sort of did something(i think) and its now working fine... I went to twrp.. did a factory reset. Then went for advance wipe and wiped system cache and dalvik. Then followed the same procedure. Bootloader-->radio-->Rom-->Kernel. It worked just fine. The first boot took some 15 minutes.

does the internal storage work for you? it works only on twrp for me :/
i can't see anything in file explorer and canìt restore from twrp :/ that's a big problem guys.

If you can not see your old nandroid backups
After rooting If you can not see your old nandroid backups
Via file explorers try to enable usb debuging from
dev. opt. if not worked (Recovires or SuperSU issue)
But you can see and restore your old or new backups via recovery (TWRP tested)
New recoveries and superSU may fix this issues.

I had the this same problem. After installing everything, I let it sit for 20 minutes and it finally showed the Android logo. After that it was stuck on a black screen. I wiped everything and repeated the install procedure again, minus the kernal, and got the same "unmount of /system failed: no such volume" while flashing the rom zip. It booted after a while and everything works except my storage is FUKT. I cant see any of my pictures, music, etc, and the only thing I see via PC is the DCIM folder which is empty. Not cool

Nothing wrong with my storage. I installed the bootloader, radio, and rom on top of my existing 4.4.4 rom by sideloading in CWM. Wiped caches and rebooted to make sure everything was working, then back to CWM to sideload the kernel. I haven't rooted yet.

I always enable usb debugging, didn't help. And as far as the file transfer, it won't let me. I can only access it while in TWRP. All my files are there, its just android can't see them, and wont show under windows either. Not sure what the issue is there, I've tried everything I know of. I'll just flash CM12 that I was using before. Let me know if you figure out this problem, as I'm curious as to what is causing it (and I'm not the only one having it).

try re flash everything but not autoroot using..[/QUOTE]
All of this was without autoroot. Don't worry about it man, I just installed my old rom. For some reason this ROM doesn't like me and spupuz's phone. Thanks for trying to help me, I appreciate your time. Let me know if someone else has the issue and you figure it out, I'm very curious as to what it might be.

Nope, no multirom or multirom twrp. I have no idea.

After rooting If you can not see your old nandroid backups
Via file explorers try to enable usb debuging from
dev. opt. if not worked (Recovires or SuperSU issue)
But you can see and restore your old or new backups via recovery (TWRP tested)
New recoveries and superSU may fix this issues.
Want to ask? SuperSU XDA Thread here
Note: SE Linux Mod Changer may help to fix this issue
Recommended Recovery is TWRP 2.8.1.0

I flashed this ROM this morning, and I initially had the weird can't unmount /system error. I rewiped, using twrp to ensure that /system was wiped too. Install went fine. I have a weird glitch or something on my recent apps list, though. I attached a picture. Anyone know what this is? It doesn't seem to be causing any functional problem, but it looks bad.
Edit: I cleared the cache for google now launcher, and restarted recovery and wiped my cache partition and the error went away.

Did I bricked My Yoga Book YB1-X90L

:crying: My device boots in CHERRYVIEW D1 PALTFORM/INTEL (CHTTYETI.X64************) ((something like Windows BIOS??)
And that all.

what did you flash and what did you exactly do?

shouldn't have done that...think the bootloader you removed is the android one, while the other one might be the bios.
here is a link to some rom with flashfiles....i can't tell you how to flash because all the instructions are in chinese. there are different flashfiles, which peform different ways of flashing the system, eg. without deleting data, or without updating the bootloader.
maybe it's 'flash_factory_update_pos_bootloader' - my guess it only updates the bootloader partitions...if it works and you have a bootloader again you could probably load recovery again and restore your system / data.
(you might use 'flash factory 1st stage' and ' flash factory 2nd stage' as well (i think those flash the whole system again, but I'm not sure. it's just a guess.)
hope you will manage it
look at the flash_guide.docx, it's in chinese but with google translator you can get some information about it.
to use the flash tool i think you must boot into dnx fastboot mode...hold 'volume up' + 'volume down' + 'power' to get into dnx mode (yes, pressing vol up and vol down at the same time works!)
maybe

not at the moment...
can you once more explain in detail what you did and how you ended up having no bootloader anymore.
i'm still trying to figure out how you were left with no bootloader (can you post a picture of that ?bios?).
i just want to know whether this is somehow related to the ported twrp. from my knowledge there's no way to wipe the bootloader or whatever.
thx in advance

Hi
First thanks I used Platform Flash Tool Lite downloaded from intel website and flash the file it complete 75% but then faild. However it started on logo screen where I immediately but it in dxn mode and booted twrp and it worked. Still WIP. I will update you of the outcome.
As for how it happened... as I mentioned earlier I wiped everything using twrp and selected advice option where you select cache, system, internal memory, etc...
And restore twrp earlier backup but I modified the backup data stored in my pc it had bootloader and bootloader1.. then I removed first bootloader and renamed bootloader1 to bootloader. During twrp restoration process, twrp read my backup and shown me the folders that will be restored, there I noticed that I succeeded on having only one bootloader and also unchecked the data folder and restored it. Where it ended on attached screen...

if you can access twrp again, just restore your backup as it is...all partitions without changing anything.
good luck. hope it works.
now people know how to get to the bios/bootmanager (maybe it helps for dual boot)
do you know what options there were, something like boot from sdcard/otg (usb) etc...?

Hi
There where two options
Android IA
EFI Hard Disk
As for my issue I was able to boot twrp and restore my backup..
But it seems I played around bios screen which ended up not showing bootloader or recover option even bios....
It's feel like something running but not showing in the scteen. Is there any way to reset bios or a stock rom to restore the device like out-of-box status....

I found out that it was running through HDMI output in the initial boot and it will not show in the tablet screen..
I did it again with bootloader modification and got the BOIS mode and connecting my tablet to LED TV through HDMI output I managed to reset the bios and got it back to normal (know boot showing in my tablet screen...)
When i flash the file you share and used flash/blank setting it will reach 80 to 85% but fail in bootloader flashing. then i used DXN mode and fastboot flash twrp recovery it will bring the main service options where I did factory reset then it will start loading with little screen corruption. however it will load perfectly after couple of reboots but without the Halo Keyboard. i could not find out how to enable it...
Then i used my TWRP backup and restore it where everything working fine....
My request is it possible to modify the flash-able file you send to load a perfect stock rom. it will help many people as it will be easy to use with Intel android flash tool...???

Thanks mmusaad and danjac, glad that you unbricked it.
Can I ask how does one flash it with Platform Flash Tool Lite? I failed to infer the meaning of 'setup your board' from intel's description:
> You have already set up your board and connected the board to your host system. This includes assembling your board, installing the appropriate drivers, and flashing your firmware.
(I'm trying to run or install Linux on yogabook, which I feel may brick it a few times.)
Also, do you think one can enter the BIOS setting or boot device selection without bricking it first?
thanks

Thanks, I was able to flash with FlashToolLite (linux). The only problem is that my halo keyboard stopped working (maybe rom dismatch? My yogabook is from japan).
Anyway thanks /o\

Greetings to all.
 @danjac: Could you provide a link to a YB1-X90F ROM? I would like to try flashing it on a chinese version model. @mmusaad: please excuse my irrelevant to the subject request.

Hi sagi232123,
I will explain it to you in detail.
I taken a full backup using twrp.
Then I notice two bootloaders.
First named bootloader. "note: I don't remember the full file name."
Second named bootloader1.
I removed bootloader.
Renamed bootloader1 to bootloader using my PC.
Then restored using twrp again, I restored it fully.
Here I was shocked when it load the bios.
Do it and it should do the same.
