Hi guys i have soft-bricked my android called QUADRO SQ-45E83C!
I read on the internet that i have to reflash rom or backup phone with CWM recovery.
I can't find rom for my phone anywhere on the net so i have to do it by CWM.
But i can't install CWM because my phone can't go into ODIN/DOWNLOAD mode.
Now,is there any method to do it by command prompt (go to ODIN/DOWNLOAD mode) on PC or i have to do it manually (on the phone)

A bundle of problems when trying to flash...

Hello, everyone. This is my first post so excuse my newbliness, if any is noticed...
I've been trying to flash my Mini for quite a while and all I got was a series of epic fails. The ROM that I was trying to flash is the Unofficial CyanogenMod 10, by rohan007; to be more specific, Unofficial CM10_15-12-12, which is the latest update, I think. I was using Cyanogenmod Recovery Image 5.0.2.6-tass which worked quite fine, giving me the advanced options and everything, but each time I would try to install zip from sd, I would get the following error:
~some incomplete log text above, not sure if it matters~
/E:Error in /sdcard/customrom/CM-10_15-12-12.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Of course, I followed the exact instructions on how to flash a custom ROM; Clear cache partition, Wipe Data/Reset, Clear Dalvik Cache, etc...
My phone is rooted, by the way. I used the universal_gb_root_v25.zip to root my phone, since it was the only method that worked.
Then, after further investigation, I found out that the image version 5.0.2.6 sometimes fails to intall a custom ROM. So, I found the ClockWorkMod Touch Recovery Lilg Version for Galaxy Mini, CWM TOUCH 5.2.0.8 version. And when I flashed it, I just got "Install from sdcard completed" log message. Since I didn't got any advanced options, I tried to flash the ROM by selecting the option to apply update from sdcard and yet again, I got the following error:
~again, some incomplete log text above, not sure if it matters~
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then, when I rebooted my system, my phone got stuck on the Samsung GALAXY mini GT-S5570I text and now, every time when I press the power button, it keeps doing the same! I'm seriously getting frustrated here... Anyways, I can only go to the Android system recovery, and the Cyanogenmod system recovery and that is it. Also, I can still manipulate my data from the sd card. (Move and remove files from it, I mean).
One more thing about the Android system recovery. Now I get the log text saying:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
And obviously, I did something(s) wrong in the whole process, so I beg you to help me resolve this issue. Thank you.
If you need any additional data about the whole bundle of problems, I will be more than glad to post them in my next reply.
see if odin detects your phone, and reflash cwm.

ODIN MODE works, reflashing only works with image version 5.0.2.6...
As far as I know ...
we can't flash CWM in GT-S5570i
we can use in temporary only ....
this mean we can use CWM 5.0.2.6 in CWM mode and after reboot the phone goes into original CWM mode.
What I would u to do is ...
If u can go into CWM recovery mode then wipe data / Factory reset
if this doesn't help ...
Go into download mode and flash with original firmware using ODIN ...

For the CWM, I know. You have to flash it every time on reboot on the android system recovery to get it working.
I tried with factory reset several times and that did nothing. Download mode, also nothing.
So the best solution for me would be to find the stock firmware on the internet and flash that. I'll tell you how that went...
Also, when I try to format system, I get an error: "Error mounting /system! Skipping format... Done"
So for the future, is there any other way, besides CWM, to do a full, complete wipe of the Android OS?

if your phone gets detected by odin, just flash any official firmware from samfirmware.com and it's done. if not, hopefully you're still under warranty, then only samsung service center can help you. play dumb, don't mention rooting, flashing, custom roms and such...

YAY! I UNBRICKED MY PHONE! All is working just fine. Now then, if anything gets seriously wrong, I know what to do. Thank you, yackovsky, for your help.
It seems that all of those errors were caused by me trying to flash GTS5570 ROM on GTS5570I.

Hey all
I'm posting this because i haven't found any posts similar.

I can only enter clockworkmod recovery by installing it. As soon i switch the phone off it puts it back to system recovery. I tried flashing different versions but they all came up with status 7 error Installation aborted... I also tried flashing roms directly but with no success.. Please help me out here, i'm in a lot of trouble without a phone..

[Q] Galaxy S Plus black screen, CWMrecovery says "can't mount...

I'm a noob I know and yes I watched the noob-video. But I need help! Cuz I'm too dump! So please help me
I wanted to update my Galaxy S Plus to the newest CM 10 (Beta 4) (before it was the Beta 3) over the CWM recovery it suddenly says
"symlinks failed"
"error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130324-invendor-beta4-ariesve.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"installation aborted"
so I looked to the CWM recovery and I saw that I don't have the latest version....okay I downloaded the latest one and installed it over the CWM recovery. The same error .... with friends. Now I got when I went into the CWM recovery: (after I tried to wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I tried to restart the phone...black-screen after the samsung cyanogen mod screen.
Okay
So I tried to flash a older firmware "I9001XXKQ7_I9001DBTKP2_I9001XXKPK_HOME.tar.md5" with Odin. I restarted the phone...nope black screen. I installed the newest CWM recovery again and tried to flash again the CM 10. Black-screen. So I tried the old version of the CM which I had before (Beta 3) -> black-screen and still errors in the recovery mode.
I can still go into the download mode and the recovery mode. The charging symbol is not working when i connect it (just the battery but bot moving)
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Provider: Vodafone IT
ROM: CM 10 (Beta 3) installed but not working
Kernel: Phenom 3.2 UV (updated after the symlinks failed error)
I hope some genius out there can help me
And sorry for my bad english...I don't use it often (Italy)

take your time...
what errors does the cwm 5.5.0.4 recovery shows without doing anything?
try to additionally mount system and data partition (see under <mount and storage>)
then click on wipe data/factory reset in the main menu
Hi everybody I'm new.
My situation is exactly the same, I did the same things, got the same problems... got stuck with no solutions yet if not to send it to samsung assistance.
Flashad many other android phones in the past and never had issues like this... it's a nightmare...
try to additionally mount system and data partition (see under <mount and storage>)
then click on wipe data/factory reset in the main menu

Without doing anything the recovery says nothing....just the normal main-screen.
After I mounted system and data I click on wipe data/factory...but then it doesn't do anything. It freezes after "Formatting /data..."
I flashed the FeaMod Recovery v.1.2. based on CWM v5.0.2.7

I already did that too but it didn't work...
I'm gonna go to the samsung assistance in the afternoon... :crying:
Well....Nothing is working...Anyone who could help me? ... Or better us..
If my guide is no use to you as its for i9000 : try this HERE
If that helps you in any way let me know.
I did this already... I flashed it with the newest stock-FW but it doesn't do anything...and the stock-recovery can't make a factory reset. It always freezes....
other things that could be worth a try:
try flashing different recoveries - not only feamod... also cwm,...
for me cwm5.5.0.4 works
look: our wiki-page -> un-brick
if all doesnt help you could try to reset all partitions
I tried already a few recoveries...like the CWM or the TeamWin... How can I reset them? Can you give me a link please? ^^
Flash BroodROM RC 5... flash this multiple times without touching any buttons like repartion etc..
After that, wipe system and data via the recovery provided in the ROM.
Then flash the newest stock FW from samsung..
This solved all my issues multiple times xD
thanks for the reply, but my phone is now finally brocked....it doesn't even start....and I don't have any idea what i can do now...
??
So, now Samsung, no Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001? No nothing. Not even the soft brick image (see wiki)

[Q] Continuous boot, assert failed troubles (Help)

So I posted a help thing about EFS a while back and didnt get to much help with that but i managed to figure things out. Now however
ive got myself into another predicament i cant seem to get out of.
So, from the start, i have a galaxy s3 (GT i-9305T) it was rooted, i still had the stock rom, but was running the beoffla kernal.
The idea was to download and install "JustArchi I9300XXUGML2 stock, deodexed and all the rest" then start finding
some nice themes. Ive got philz_touch_6.07.9-i9305.tar installed for my recovery.
This is where the trouble starts...
So first off i wipe the cache and the davik cache, go to install the rom then i get this: (ill go from installing update)
assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/boot.img" , " /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" )
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/Just archi........zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Now i looked up a whole heap of pages to see if i could sort it out myself and i tried a few different things,
none of which have prevailed. First i tried to reflash an insecure boot image then try again, nup. I tried to
flash back to stock recovery and re format (No errors) then back to custom. Mounted /data and /system
and re formatted which worked with no error, still same error when flashing rom though. Also tried flashing
with different custom recovery, no luck there either.
There were a few other things i tried but i cant really remember what i did because
this has been a problem for a while now. Some of the pages i looked over for
information were:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/android-hacks-help/26658-assert-failed-write_raw_image-tmp-boot-img.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045887
And this is the one im on at the moment, im currently downloading a stock rom from sammobile to try flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/i9305t-10-2-upgrade-boot-stops-unable-t2406422
"UPDATE"
Finished downloading the stock rom, tried to install with philz recovery and got this:
Installing: /storage/sdcard1/I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
And thats it, no kind of specific error codes or anything.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out,
really stuck on this one.​

Can anybody at all shed some light on my situation,
or at least a place for me to start learning myself...
Hi.
If you downloaded the stock ROM from sammy mobile are these not meant to be installed via Odin?
There are a few post if you search for some of the pre rooted stock ROMs that you can flash with odin.
I would start from there.

The roms i downloaded from samsmobile were in .zip files, which im pretty
sure has to be flashed with one of the custom recoveries.
Thanks though
at first seems you tried to flash rom designed for i9300
then, you downloaded an ODIN image and you have to flash it by ODIN, no way you'd flash it over any recovery
to be more specific:
unzip the file I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip you downloaded, you should get a huge file with extension of .md5 or .tar
read in the forums how to use ODIN to flash firmware

water damaged but i did here boot audio only once) so im
letting my phone sit in a bag of rice in pieces for the night
and am going to check things out tommorrow.
