[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_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

A Beginner's Guide To Installing A Custom ROM

In this tutorial I am just going to be covering how to install a ROM and how to install TWRP. Before we start this, you are going to need THESE files. You will be taken to MEGA to download the files. You will also need to download the Samsung USB Drivers. This guide is going to be in a Step-By-Step format so should be very easy for everyone to follow.
Step 1: Download the files that are linked above and extract them all to a location that is best for you,
-Make sure you have WinRAR or 7-Zip, just to be safe, use THIS website to download either WinRAR or 7-Zip.
-For example, I extracted the files to "I:\XDA ROM Files".
Step 2: Enter the folder by the name of "Odin3 v3.12.3" and open "Odin3.exe",
-You will need this for later on in the tutorial, so just leave it open.
Step 3: You will now need to boot your Galaxy S3 into "Odin Mode", also known as "Download Mode" by doing the following steps:
Power Off Your Device,
Power Back On Your Device Using "Power Button + Home Button + Volume Down",
Release When You See The Boot Screen,
You Will See A Disclaimer,
Press 'Volume Up'.
Step 4: Plug your phone directly into your computer / laptop,
-Make sure that you have got the drivers downloaded, if not, download them.
-The phone should appear in Odin as a Com X port.
Step 5: Return to Odin3,
-Uncheck everything except f reset time in Odin. If you leave auto reboot on when flashing twrp, the phone will reboot and it will replace twrp with stock recovery upon automatic reboot.
Unchecking auto reboot, removing battery etc. and manually booting into twrp after flashing will ensure twrp will stick and stick recovery will not return on reboot.
Step 6: Click "AP" and find the following file "TWRP 3.0.2-1.tar" and click start,
-This should start installing TWRP to your device and you should see a progress bar on Odin3 and on your phone.
-After installation, your phone should reboot.
Step 7: Allow your phone to fully boot and load,
-Make sure your phone is still plugged in.
Step 8: When you have selected a ROM, download it.
-The ROM should be a ZIP file,
-Transfer the ZIP file to your "Download" folder on your phone.
Step 9: We are now going to install the ROM, follow the next steps very carefully,
Power Off Your Device,
Use The Following Keys To Boot Your Device,
Power Button + Home Button + Volume Up,
You Will Be Prompted With TWRP Recovery,
Click "Install"
You Should Now Be Prompted With Your Internal Storage Folders,
Go Into Your Downloads And Find The ROM,
Install The ROM.
That is it. You now have a custom ROM on your phone. Please leave some support if I have done anything incorrect. If you need any help please feel free to message me! Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy my first post. I am trying to hardest to make a commitment to this community.

Just a quick little thing from me, if you need any help then just give me a PM and I will help you the best I can

Don't unzip the ROM before flashing. If you unzip, you'll get a bunch of other folders which TWRP can't flash individually.

[ROM][7.1.1]Android Ice Cold Project 12.1
Hey Guys, I have got a big problem here. I had installed the latest release dated 28th Jan (link given by one of the developers). I had upgraded my TWRP to 3.0.2-0 then i installed the rom zip and the gapps zip. At first time it booted up normally without any bugs and all. However after next boot onwards i started getting many background app crashes so i decided to revert back to the TWRP backup which i had made on newly upgraded TWRP just before installing this rom. I had taken backup and then wiped everything to install.
After i restored with no errors i am stuck in boot loop. I mobile restarts and then holds on the boot animation and the vibrates and restarts again. This happens endlessly. I tried to re-wipe everything and restore but it didn't help. I tried to wipe everything and reinstall this rom again but now mobile turns up upto aicp boot animation and the screen turns off and only blue led indication comes on.
I have tried almost everything in laslt 24 hours but no way did anything. Am still stuck at endless bootloop.
This is all that i tried.
1. I tried to flash ROM S288 using QFIL : bootloop
2. I tried to flash ROM S285 using QFIL: bootloop
3. I tried to change partition from ext4 to fat and then back to ext4 for system and data and then restore twrp backup : Bootloop
4. I tried to change partition from ext4 to fat and then back to ext4 for system and data and then install aicp installable zip with gapps :stuck after boot animation with screen off and blue led on.
5. I erased all the partitions and formated all internal partitions as signle ext4 file system (29GB size) and then download stock rom with stock recovery using QFIL. : Bootloop.
There is only way i can stop bootloop and that is i force it to boot in recovery mode (stock/twrp). In either of the recovery mode it boots up and works normally. But irreespective of any rom i try to install it always ends up in bootloop. There is something that it is looking for just after boot animation which it is not able to find after boot animation and hence it boots again. I am not sure what it is looking for so i tried to erase every partition and restore that by downloading stock rom using qfil both lolipop and marshmallow version but still no use.
Please guys tell me what can be done now. its been over 24 hrs am struggling and i guess i already did everything i knew. Now i need your help.

Hey guys a new query here. Your expert opinion is required.
Check this attached screenshot.
I have range of both the networks. IMEI is also my original IMEI. But baseband is unknown. I remember baseband had some value. Why is it unknown now. Any idea?
Is there anything abnormal to worry or shall I ignore it?

Hey Guys
Today i have intentionally hard bricked my own Lenovo Vibe P1 (P1a42) just to demonstrate you all how to recover the dead (hard bricked) qualcomm devices.
This process is more or less same for all the qualcomm devices. In some devices other steps may be needed where you will have to wipe entire ROM space and make a single partition of ExFAT format.

Well i have tried to make the video in such a way that i include more or less everything possible. Please bare with me.

[Guide] How to ROOT + TWRP + Install Nougat on Canadian LG D852

*** Important: Your Warranty Is now Void. Always take a Nandroid backup. I am not responsible if you damage your phone or lose any data***
Hello everyone. I created this guide for the Canadian D852 since I didn’t find anything that was straight forward. Credit goes to all the developers who made it possible for us to keep using our beloved LG G3.
This is my first attempt to create and share a guide. I hope it will be useful to other users. If you find any error or have suggestions, please send me a message.
Download all the files before you begin. Do not forget to copy your ROM and GAPPS to your SDCARD before you install TWRP.
Go back to Lollipop using LGUP **Always use USB 2 port. It won't work with USB3**:
Download your kdz (d85220… not d85230). I downloaded mine from:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-d852-firmwares/
Follow these instructions (works with D852 don’t worry):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624353&postcount=3
Choose the kdz from your provider. For example, I have an unlocked Fido phone but I want to use it with Bell. So I used the Bell 20k KDZ.
When selecting a file to flash, type *.* and press Enter in the filename for your .kdz to show up. If you do not, it will only show .tot.

Root your phone using this method:
Enable ADB debugging.
Unplug usb cable.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information and tap build number until you are presented with "You are now a developer".
Back to Settings screen.
In Developer Options, enable USB Debugging.
Connect usb cable.
Click OK when asked to allow USB debugging in android.
I use the root.bat method. If it doesn’t work go back to step 1 and try again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Install TWRP using Autorec:
Copy the rom and GAPPS to your SDCARD before you install TWRP.
Download the file from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!rtI1naZT!LJIKUVpv8fYjrvhpykA4_A!2o433RBZ
Transfer the file to you internal or external SD card.
Head in to Settings -> General -> Security, then scroll down until you see Unknown sources. Tick the checkbox, then hit OK on the next prompt.
Install APK via the file manager.
Open App.
Grant root access.
Wait a few seconds while it does some backup.
Wait for prompt to say that it is ready to flash.
Click the button to Flash TWRP.
Wait for it to be done.
Phone will reboot into TWRP
Update TWRP to the latest version if you want.
Download and install Nougat rom. Tested with CrDroid v3.6 and open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-crdroid-t2955012
http://opengapps.org/
**I’m not sure if it’s necessary but I did it anyway** Flash Dene Hybrid Baseband via TWRP (don’t forget to wipe cache and dalvik after) if necessary (mobile data is unstable etc…).
https://mega.nz/#F!rtI1naZT!LJIKUVpv8fYjrvhpykA4_A!2tJFBLLK
Source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/canadian-d852-stock-bumped-rooted-rom-t3056843
That’s it! Enjoy Android Nougat!
N.B. That is the only way I was able to get a stable mobile data connection. Only flashing baseband did not work for me.

Thanks, barguin, for a very informative thread.
How is the battery life on this Nougat ROM? I will be switching from Fulmics MM, and my provider is Fido.

Battery is very good. I can do a full day easyly.
Regards!

@barguin: thanks for the quick response. Did you try Exposed for Nougat? I know that Exposed is frowned upon in the CrDroid thread, but there are a couple of modules I would like to try. Thanks.

I do not use exposed...sorry.

Personally I had some problems with lg flash tool.
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

I read the heading in this thread and it said something about not downloading the D85230 file .. and my phone is D8530g as shown in the screenshot .. so is the D85220 file gonna damage my phone .... Sorry for the newbie question !
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Free mobile app

The D85220 file will not damage your phone. Instead, that file will install an older Android version on your phone, namely Lollipop (this step is required to gain root). You are currently on Android Marshmallow, and you will end up with Android Nougat if you complete all steps correctly. The procedure is meant to work like this, one step back, two steps forward.
The "20" or "30" in the file names (on that website hosting KDZs) have the following meaning:
"20" = it's a Lollipop file
"30" = it's a Marshmallow file
"40" = it's a Nougat file (I can only wish, there is no such Nougat file).
But seriously, the procedure requires more than a modicum of familiarity with flashing and with using various pieces of software. There is potential for bricking your phone.
No offense, but, judging from your question, I would suggest that you should enlist the help of a friend who is a bit more knowledgeable on this topic.

Guys .. Can I use the ROM on D855?! If not, so how to flash the ROM without getting any issues?!!
Thanks.

Do not flash the rom on the D855 it's only for the canadian variant.

Did this on my d852 and it's stuck booting on Oreo, Nougat, and stock Lollipop. Happened after I installed TWRP, any fixes?
edit: i think it was the roms.. got 3 bad ones i guess lol. fulmics worked.

Just an FYI, I followed the LGUP instruction for my Bell D852 but it was soft bricked, doing the flash using "refurbish" instead of "upgrade" did it for me and I was able to finish rooting my device!

How to root symphony i60.... please reply me

my phone no sound
I do not hear sound from my phone after installing CRDroid. the programs are working. YouTube is opening but I can not hear the sound of the media being played.
I do not hear the sound of the media played when I plug in the phone.
please help me.

Thanks alot man, this was super handy!
Edit: Seems I've got that problem where shutting the phone off bugs it and it won't turn back on unless you remove the battery and put it back in. It also resets the time. Kind of annoying. Seems to happen to some D852s after installing TWRP.

can' t go back stock rom

I my device is p9 lite vns l31. Now I am in elite roam v 7.1 , I want to go back stock roam. Stock roam b360 was flashed using dload method. That step properly done. After twrp recovery was installed then vns l31 full spaces flash through the twrp. But that step not properly completed. Now only Google voice typing,no keyboard,no system updater, build no says generic room or something. Pls help me to solve this problem.

Hey ! well i'm not a pro but did you download the full update ? the 2gig one ? and also was it the correct region ? (C432 for europ... c185 for north africa... )

I had similar problem which I was able to solve by following procedure (it's semi-complicated):
Get 'Firmware finder' from Google Play. Download your CORRECT FullOTA upgrade - VNS-L31CxxxBxxx. Select only Update.zip (the other one didn't work in updater, anyway, but that will be solved later).
After completion, there's a HWFF folder In Internal storage that has that zip.
If MTP is working, move zip to PC and unzip it into a new folder and rename it to "dload". Then move this folder to your SDcard.
If MTP is not working, move zip on phone with File manager to SDcard and then use adapter to put SDcard into PC and do the same as above (unzip, dload, ...).
Unplug USB cable and shutdown phone. Put SDcard into phone slot and use 3-button method (all 3 hardware keys pressed until EMUI logo shows up) to force upgrade.
Then if you succeed with that, let me know for next step (resulting in a full working system with all the apps).

Hey Krucifer !!! im facing the same problem ! the good thing is that by following your steps i boot into the recovery and it start updating...
the bad news is that it fails... im using a l31 c185 B385 i downloaded (the full package of 3 zips !!!) should i download an anterior version !? :/ !
Edit : okay looks like i can't use the dload method with ANY stock rom... so i have to download the correct one and will report after that !

Exactly.
Try FullOTA-MF-PV (that's the only one that worked for me) and make sure you use odd number (B371, B381) for single sim and even number (B370, B380) for dual sim.
Also, DL only update.zip and extract it do dload. Other files will fail. You'll have to use In-app proxy of Firmware Finder for full fix.
If you get stuck with it, let me know and I'll write step by step.

Extract your update file using update extractor. There are boot.img,cust.img and system.img.then go fastboot mood and use adb minimal. Then flash them using adb minimal fastboot flash system system.img,fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash cust cust.img

There is cust image in vns full spaces file bro. Extract update fille and get them.

It's better to try different update.zip files from Firmware Finder than to risk bricking by forcefully flashing something wrong.
I tried a few that didn't work but then one worked.
But to be honest, Elite ROM is much better than stock and I returned back to it. It has more options than stock. I miss even more options (like in crDroid) but I like stock look more than that of Lineage.

That's true bro. But I think elite roam battery drain higher than the stock roam. That is the problem bro.

I haven't paid much attention but so far I don't see any difference.
And it shouldn't have more battery drain since it's ported stock from P10 lite.
