SGH-I437 Galaxy Express

I need to find an odin file for this phone, I would like to get jelly bean or the original stock kernel. thanks everyone.

Rugby Pro (comanche) recovery does not work for Galaxy Express SGH-I437
A seperate thread on XDA suggested the Rugby Pro recovery image might work. I can confirm it does not.
I tried:
CWM 6.0.1.5 Recovery Image (utkanos)
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...anos.tar.md5&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13560366585645
and
Stock Recovery Image
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...very.tar.md5&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13560366981716
Odin pushed them without issue, but trying to enter Recovery just reboots the phone, so I am lacking a functional recovery image at the moment! *bump* to this thread if anyone finds or posts an ODIN stock ICS or JB recovery image. Thanks! :highfive:

What odin file are you looking for, warn79? Stock JB? Stock recovery?

I found this. Although I am not quite sure if this is for ICS or JB.

Please beware that this file is meant for model SGH-i437. I don't think it will work on I437P variant or I437Z variant...
Here's the new link,
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1_4qtY7UWjpcFNIZE1yTTFRVzA
To install follow these steps:
1. download the file
2. place file in root of external sd card
3. power off phone
4. go into recovery by pressing: power button+volume down+home button
5. look for something that says: install update from zip or from external storage or something along those lines
6. click on the file downloaded from the link above.
7. select install
8. select "yes-install)
9. after instalation is completed the phone will go back to the way it looked when you first got it and powered it on
Thanks to Herson for getting me this file!

N910F Stuck in boot sequence - HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi Guys, I came on here last week seeking advice as my Note4 has always been seriously laggy and slow. I tried resetting to factory etc however still the same. So the advice I got was to root and try another rom.
I successfully rooted my 910F device (confirmed by running test root app). I then downloaded a new rom to try out. In the instructions it suggested that I should be running the respective versions of Bootloader and Modem - which I downloaded from the links in the instructions. I installed both Bootloader and Modem via Odin successfully however now the device just loops in a boot up sequence. I copied the ROM files to the SD card however the when I try and load the rom from there it says that 'Update from external storage is disabled'.
I've downloaded a few other ROMs however they are zip files and I am guessing not designed to work with odin??
Hoping that there is a headache free way of recovering this.
Apologies in advance. I am an newbie with this stuff, really appreciate any help!!!!!
Thanks,
OB

You need custom recovery use TWRP.
Rom needs to be a zip DO NOT UNZIP IT.
From recovery flash the zip.

Really appreciate the reply.
The modem and Bootloader have already been loaded. So to be totally clear, I need to download an app called TWRP and load the ROM file (ZIP) with that right?
Thanks a bunch, really appreciate the help.
Bests,
OB

To add, the phone is not booting up (stuck in the boot up sequence) so I cant download and install any apps on it? Is TWRP a PC app?
Thanks,
OB

Nope, TWRP is not an App. It's a Recovery. You will find it in the development section. It's an img which you flash via ODIN. After that, you shut down the Phone and reboot via holding vol up + Home + Power. It will Boot you into the TWRP Recovery. from there you can then Install the Roms. They are provided as Zip. Don't Unzip them. Just select the zip to be installed via TWRP.

First download the lollipop rom and recovery from here and then first flash the rom and then the recovery. Later, if you want to unroot, go to supersu and select full unroot.

The link for stock recovery for lollipop is dead for kitkat, FIND IT HERE.
Anyways you don't need stock recovery for flashing stock ROM. Just download and flash the stock ROM from twrp itself.

What are you trying to flash? Custom kernel? Stock boot.img?
Either the .img is corrupt/incompletely downloaded OR you have unlocked boot loader using unofficial method.
1. Download the boot.img and try again
2. If it still gives error, you do not have a proper bootloader unlock. Try flashing twrp that is confirmed working by you, to verify if bootloader is properly unlocked or not.

If you had spent enough time searching on xda, you would have got the solution. I posted a solution to this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/help/unable-update-to-marshmallow-via-ota-t3389876 And the thread is marked "solved" which means it worked.
sziraqui said:
Apparently, your current recovery version does not match with your current firmware version. There are two possible workarounds-
1. Wipe system by executing "fastboot erase system" in fastboot mode. Then reflash latest official asus lollipop ROM. This will fix the recovery and firmware mismatch and you will then be able to flash MM via stock recovery.
2. If you are experienced with edit8ng updater-script, Extract all contents of MM ota. Open updater-script and remove all asserts and lines that say "abort". Then compress the contents again. (You can't edit without extracting coz zip is signed). Flash this modified ota zip via TWRP.
If you still can't flash it or you are unable to edit updater-script, pm me, I have downloaded the MM ROM, I will send you modified updater-script.
I can even convert this ota into .imgs so that you can flash directly via fastboot

sziraqui said:
alright, download the updater-script from attachment. Flash via TWRP.
Detailed instructions-
First extract entire ota zip. Delete the original updater-script.
Then extract "updater-script_modified.zip"
Copy the extracted "updater-script" to extracted ota at the right location. (META-INF/com/google/android)
Compress the ota files as a zip using 7zip or winrar. Compression level "normal" . DONT USE ANY ANDROID APP FOR COMPRESSING, USE WINDOWS/LINUX APP ONLY.
Flash the modified zip via TWRP recovery

Feels good when sum1 helps even if there is a repeated question. Most people will say "search before you post/ don't bump the forum/ etc. and provide links which are difficult for new users to follow. You are one of the few devs who are offer REAL help. Hatts off!

Honor 7 ROM problem

Hello guys,
long time i had no problem (even that i couldnt make photos , use google play and had 4GB max space). I accidentaly erased system and through posts here i got custom chinese ROM with twrp(PLK-C00B618_Kangvip;EMUI 3.1; android 5.1.1). But now i want to make photos and use google play soo...any solutions ? I hope yes.
Thank you guys atleast for viewing this post.

You need to flash Google Framework and Google Play app, because most Chinese ROM removed those. You can flash a gapps package from Opengapps.
ARM-Android 5.1-Micro/Pico/Nano should do.

First get back to stock and then flash a custom ROM, this might help. Steps are below, follow them.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.

Thank you, just got time to try it so ill inform in 2h(slow download speed).

OMG!! man, tell me your adress so i can visit you and hug you, i tried so many times according to lot of posts and it havent worked. I gave up once, but now i finally, god bless, finally back to stock firmware, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Iam so happy, nothing can breaky my happiness for today.

Dont know why but i have only 4GB allocated storage(before accidental system remove i had 10). Can you help me with that too ?

Try to flash a custom ROM and see if anything changes.

To flash custom ROM, you need to unlock your bootloader first, then flash TWRP recovery, and download any custom ROM of your choice and flash it via TWRP recovery.

Usually because partition is corrupted.
Reflash again boot, recovery, cust and system img files.
If still persists go down to B100 ROM and use its img files.
