[Q] No root recovery aymore

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat

But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

I think that CW did an update and pushed it out to devices or something. I am having the same situation as you, I am unable to grab the device into CWR.

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Ok ill check that out. I'll let you know.

Well I tried and nothing. It says that it passed and that odin did its thing but it didn't.
Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Well I think it should be a clean install and if I connect my phone in download mode to the pc I haven't access to the internal storage!
Did you do it like it is supposed in this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505
By the way are you on a stock rom or not?

Yes, it's important to tell are you on stock or custom Rom

Sorry for my late answer!
stock I think. This is every info I have on the phone:
About phone:
Firmware: 2.3.5
baseband: i9001xxkpf
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #1
build: gingerbread.xxkpg
when I do *#1234#:
pda: i9001xxkpg
phone: i9001xxkpf
csc: i9001xenkp1
That's it...

Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??

Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?

I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?

So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

HELP!!! I bricked my N3!!!

Ok. So rooted my Note 3 in Oct and ROMd in Jan with XNote 7. I had it all fine and everything since. Well, I upgraded to XNote 12 and realized I couldn't receive calls and a few other weird annoying bugs. So I attempted to downgrade back to MJ5 using the Restore tutorial in the General section.
Alright, well I did the whole tutorial I Heimdalled the MI9_Fix.img.ext4 file and then started flashing the ZIPs. I did the SEC_CSC then I tried the 2400845 and it failed with a message about system/vender/lib.camerafilter.whatever.so couldn't be found and quit. I figured it was normal so and now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo with a padlock. It will go into recovery and Odin mode fine.
It also deleted my Safestrap. So I cannot get into SS recovery. I have tried the tutorial again and now Heimdall quits with error 87 and something about a I/O error.
I have also tried to Odin the MJ5 stock flash files (AP, BL, CP and PIT) but it does nothing. I cannot install a ROM and cannot use my phone.
I desperately need my phone for work, so if someone can help me out ASAP, so I don't lose my job, I would be SO grateful! THANK YOU!!!!

do the procedure again and follow it to the letter as i can see you can still get to dl mode, btw you're supposed to flash the sec_csc and 240058 AFTER you flash the system.img with heimdall.

I can do the ODIN part, then when I try the Heimdall part, it comes up with an error. I have tried it 5 times over. To a T... : (
And yes, I know you flash those BEFORE. That's what I meant to say, but I was in a rush...

Im in a similar pickle but my problem is that I need a way to get those files to the SD card because the thing is bricked. I can't copy the files to a bricked phone and every device in my house refuses to read the micro SD card.

That's the problem right there. Over in my thread about the kitkat update fix people are saying it's not working for them but they are missing steps because they're not reading everything. I've used that method 3 times so far and it worked all 3 times. Start from the beginning. Delete all the files from previous attemtps, go to step 1, read everything, you will get it.

Again, I have done this 5 times. No joke. I have redownloaded everything 3 times.
1) Download and install Heimdall from here for windows. You'll need this and this to avoid missing .dll file errors
2) Download the following files;
MI9_fix.img.ext4
https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb)
sec_csc.zip
rldv.zip
2400258.zip
Put everything except for the system.img on your external SD card
3) Download and install the MJ5 partions. Use Odin to flash these files (match the file names with the different upload slots)
AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
CP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit
4) Now is the time to use Heimdall.
Reboot into Download Mode once Odin finishes.
Install the vcredist packages downloaded from step 1.
unzip the heimdall .zip file to c:/
go to c:/Heimdall Suite/Drivers and click on zadig.exe
click the middle menu button to select "Show All Devices"
from the dropdown, select MSM8960
click the "install driver" button.
you should see a success message
5) Navigate on your computer to c:/Heimdall Suite/ and open heimdall-frontend.exe.
IMPORTANT -- Go to the Utilities tab and click the "Detect" button
Go to the Flash tab on Heimdall, click Browse and select the HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit file downloaded from step 3
Click the 'add' button, then next to 'partition name' select system from the dropdown.
click the Browse button underneath the dropdown, and select the MI9_fix.img.ext4 image you downloaded from step 2.
6) Click Start. ***I usually check the 'No Reboot' box to prepare for booting into recovery
THIS IS WHERE I CAN NO LONGER GO ANY FURTHER!!! IT SPITS A I/O ERROR 87 AT THIS POINT! I CANNOT GET AROUND THIS! THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH!
7) Heimdall and your Note will report a bad flash at around 95% -- but don't worry -- your system.img got uploaded Reboot directly into recovery mode.
8) Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the sec_csc.zip you downloaded earlier (did you remember to put that file on your external SD card?). This will install the CSC files and run the preload checkin so you don't FC all over the place
9) IMPORTANT--After flashing the sec_csc, the Note will reboot.
Try to catch it in time to reboot BACK into recovery
Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the 2400258.zip you downloaded earlier.
This will give you a stock MJ5 system. You can choose to stop here if you don't want to root.
10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.
This leaves you with a rooted MJ5 device.

Yes. And everytime I try this again I have to delete and revert drivers, because ODIN won't see it afterwards. X_X

I will try this. I am on a ASUS G75 with Win 7 Ultimate X64 via USB 2.0 not USB 3.0. The account I am using is the Administrator. I'm also going to try and run Heimdall as Admin. I'll report back in about 10 mins.

If that doesn't work try this...
fire up zadig, connect phone while in download mode, install the driver for msm8960, fire up heimdall frontend, go to utilities tab, hit detect button, and then go to flash screen and check no reboot, then start...
I also did mine with usb 3.0 and it worked fine so I don't think that matters. Using the stock cable also.

I was in the same boat. I had to switch computers and it worked first time. Both of them were windows 8.1 btw.

Did you try changing ports for heimdall? Sounds like its not recognizing your n3, had that problem before too where after odin'ing the mj5 files heimdall wouldnt see my phone. Did a reboot on my laptop and changed ports had 7 different 2.0 cables. Just keep trying did this 5 times already and always had the same result.

Did this every single time. I also have tried all 4 USB ports. This program (Heimdall) worked the first time no problem. That's the weird part... The second and on time all is a no go.

Have you tried rebooting your g75? Also make sure you're not running any anti malware antivirus firewall etc.

Yes. I actually powered down the machine completely, removed the charger and battery, let it sit for 5 mins and retried.
Also, yes I did. That was before I did click replace tho. Good eyes. ^__^
{[EDIT]}
Does anyone have any input on the Hard Brick recovery method? The unbrick.img method? I tried it with (what I think was MJ5, but not 100% sure) a 64GB class10 UHS-1 Lexar MicroSD Card. I booted into download mode and nothing. Not sure if I did that wrong, or if the card isn't compatible, or the IMG isn't correct (anyone have any links to the unbrick.img for MJ5?)...

Well it's not bricked because you can boot into download and recovery mode. It sounds like it's just a driver issue with heimdall.

My Phone is DEAD
I was talking on my phone yesterday and it just shut off and hasn't been back on since. It is not responding to anything i try. Power + Vol down + Home. When i plug it up, there is no sounds or vibration no response. The phone is in a permanent off state. Any thought or suggestion on how to repair. I did the OTA update last week SM-N900A.

Can't flash ROM: Wipe all and don't have OS

Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

Try this :
If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :
1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.
Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.

Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems

They restore your phone with the ORIGINAL STOCK ROM and everything that your phone has installed (Including Recovery) is lost. You don't have any recovery installed. You have to re-install it again.
Hit thanks if I helped.

After a visit at the mobile center the entire device will be resetted. Meaning official software and no recovery (Sony has no recovery build in so it seems). So yeah, you need to root it again and instal a recovery.

Have you enabled USB Debugging option from Developers Option..?
If no then do it. If you cannot see developer options then go to settings -- about phone -- tap o build number 7 times and you'll unlock developer tools option.
Then enable it and then connect your phone to compter via USB and do the necessary steps to flash CWM.
Also you on locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader.?

1. Check USB debugging is connected and your PC has properly installed the drivers for your phone. Also make sure your phone has prompted you to authorise the computer you're connected to.
2. Check no ADB is running in task manager before you try this, check flashtool isnt running or anything else that may use ADB (PC companion etc)
3. Try a different recovery
Oh and stupid question but you have re-rooted your phone first right and SuperSU is confirmed working updated and allowing rooted programs to work?

Bricked Samsung Gear Live - Please help.

Hi,
Am a novice when it comes to rooting, unlocking android devices. So please excuse my ignorance and my long-winded style of writing. I want the expert users to educate me on this issue and so I don't want to miss any trivial (or not so trivial) information.
1) So, I got Samsung gear live from ebay. It came with a sprat-userdebug 5.0.1. After googling I found out that it's a user/refurb build and can't be updated to 5.1.1
2) Thanks to rootjunky! I used Gear live restore tool V3 and unlocked the bootloader (option 2). Faced few issues in getting the driver. However, fixed everything and unlocked it. Flast TWRPd it (option 8). Flashed recovery (option 4) and bootimage (option 5). Then I sideloaded stock image from 4.4W.2 (using boot.img and system.img). That was the version I found after googling.
3) Then I tried to update it via OTA download. Download completed and it went back to recovery mode and did't apply the download. There was an error message that said something like "Unable to verify the download"
4) Tried multiple times and no luck with that
5) Then tried to sideload new version 5.1.1 LCA43 from xda wiki page. However, when my device went to recovery mode, my pc lost the connection and i wasn't able to sideload (received - device "null" not found" - error from adb command)
6) Until this point I was able to pair my device with my samsung S5 phone and only problem was not able to install the update
7) Then I reset my watch to factory setting, restarted multiple times, went to recovery mode to boot as a new device etc. No luck
8) Then I did something I shouldn't have done (or I think I shouldn't have done). Used option 7 root gear live. When the system went to SH mode, I panicked and closed the cmd prompt and hard reset the device by holding power button
9) After this step, I was not able to pair my device with my phone. Now the version says 4.4W.1 - KGW42N
10) Tried resetting my device, restarted it, used recovery mode to restart it, revoked all debug access, deleted adbkey from my PC, uninstalled android SDK, all drivers, etc. Reinstalled it again with no help.
11)Suddenly android wear in my phone sees my wifirouter as a device (strange)
11) When I plug in the device to my Pc, I could see it in my device manager. When I use recovery tool it says unregistered device and asking me to register it via my phone. Where as am not able to pair it with my phone. Tried to pair it with a new phone (moto e) and no help either
12)Somewhere read that disabling wifi in the phone before pairing works. Tried that and no luck
So here am with a bricked device that stays in the screen where it says "install android wear in your phone" and detects nothing else. Am able to go to bootloader mode, recovery mode from the device. However when it's in recovery mode, my PC doesn't detect it. Even the recovery tool says unregistered device.
Please help in unbricking this device and thank you for reading thru the whole problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

Use Gear live restore tool v2. Lots of known issues with v3

Thanks for the reply. I will try this. However, how will I make my device discoverable? Now, none of my phones detect my device.
So I guess I will get "Unauthorized Device" error when I use recovery tool. Could you please let me know if there's other way around? Or am i missing something?

I've never used it
Pretty sure all the info you need is in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-live/development/utility-gear-live-watch-tool-t2846696

No luck. Tried V2. Tool doesn't recognize my watch. It says 'Device Unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device'. My device is stuck in 'Install Android wear on your phone' screen.

unbricked using v2 of the tool. Now trying to update the os version. Will see if I can get lucky this time. Thanks for the help!

All is good now. Now my gear live is running on 5.1.1 with latest updates.

Good work

Please can you tell what exactly you done, as I'm on the same root.. and I'm using win 10... but without any luck so far..

Simple procedure.
Just download v2 of this tool
Make sure to install USB drivers
Unlock bootloader - option 2
Then use option 6 to flash it. Then you'll get new OTA updates.
Refer rootjunky video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7oRjESQh_o

I'm not able to pair my device with my phone. Now the version says 4.4W.1 - KGW42N,

Follow this procedure.
1)Make sure all drivers are installed properly in your PC
2) Make sure when you connect your device to your PC, it's discovered as unauthorized device. It's ok
3) Long press power button in the device and swipe from top left to botom right corner when you see samsung gear live logo
4)This will get the device to bootloader mode
5)Now connect the device to your PC and run V2 of the tool. Your device will be discovered in fastboot mode
6)Now select option 6 to flash the device to stock. It'll flash it
7) Now swipe down to highlight start and swipe from right to left to start. If it goes to Raw dump code = 6. do a hard restart by long pressing power button. You'll get back your device in original setting.
Check rootjunky youtube video to get the live demo of this procedure.

How did you get past this? I'm stuck here now too.
-- update after trying that procedure again, it worked to get to fastboot mode. Now I'm doing that 'option 6' to flash it.

sounds like USB driver issue. Please install correct drivers and follow the steps mentioned above. It should be unbricked.

Where can i find correct drivers? Additionally my Gear Live doesn't turn on and has only black screen.

I am confused on how to use the tool. My watch is stuck at the Install Android Wear App and won't do anything short of turning it off. How do I enable developer mode \ debugging without being able to get to the watch settings. Please help! Thanks

You need to factory reset first of all. After that let connect to your wifi, the updates will download on their own. They put a new one out today. I can't go into how but if you look at the forum and search the answers are there. There's even a tool to use.
