Dears, I have a stock Chromecast with stock firmware version 19084, it was working very well until suddenly it stuck while trying to update from google at 0% and everytime I restart it, it start normally then once it connect to internet it will start trying to update then stuck, I tried from a different network connection and managed to have it update all the way up to 100% and then when it restart it will try to update again and so on
So I was hoping if it is possible to manually flash an updated stock rom or non stock rom, any advices?
Thanks in advance
Help Please
Dears, any potential solution or shall I just give up searching and consider it dead for good
I understand that it is fully functional and it is just a software glitch that happen during the official OTA which is preventing me from using it, even if I can just disable the update that would save the device, any potential idea is really appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Yesterday, I was trying to upgrade from 2.3.6 to ICS via Kies.
The upgrade got stuck at 45% and I had to disconnect the cord, as I had a flight to catch
Now the phone shows an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
When i connect the phone via the cabe, to the computer, using Kies, it gives me error saying "Device not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device."
This is how I tried to resolve the issue, but with no success..
I have rebooted a number of times without success
I clicked on 'Troubleshoot connection error' and reinstalled the driver multiple times, but without any success
What options do I have?
Best regards,
Pavan Kota

You have two option:
1.Take your phone to service centre and say them "I was updating the phone with kies but at 45% it said some error and I have to disconnect the cable and nowit shows me *place holder* error"But dont say them you pluged the cable out during upgrade.
2.flash a stock rom with pc odin.
Just flash stock ics via pc odin. Its quite simple diy fix

Hi @vijai2011. Thanks for your thoughts..
I would prefer not doing both, if possible. Hoping for some solution..
Quick questions:
If I flash a stock rom with pc odin, will I loose my stored pictures / videos? I did not take a backup. Am cursing myself for that right now.
Where do i get the stock rom for flashing, along with the procedure? I assume a 'stock rom' would mean an official rom.
Can i use the 'stock rom' for ICS directly or do i need to go back to 2.3.6?

1.No you wont.Only phone contacts(not the contacts in sim),apps,messages are removed.Files on sd card is intact.
2.Stoch rom along with procedure here.Follow 1.b alone in the thread if you donot need root.Yes stock rom means official rom.
3.You can flash directly.
Dear @vijai2011,
Thanks for the post. I will try the ICS Stock Rom Flash if nothing else works..
Would like to see if there is something I can do, to be able to get Kies to recognize the phone right now..
Will keep you posted..

I would suggest you,you never use kies for update .use it only to take backup and restore.Just flash the rom with link and kies will detect the phone.

kies is always S$#@.If you need to update,use ota.
Solved: Got a new USB Cable
Finally resolved this issue without flashing a stock ROM.
After trying out everything, I got a doubt about the USB cable and got a new official Samsung cable.. and voila.. the Kies software detected the emergency recovery and proceeded.
Now the emergency recovery file from Samsung is over 1GB in size, and stops in between if the internet connection breaks. So ensure you have enough space, good bandwidth and proper monitoring, so you can restart in case it breaks.
And finally the ICS is now installed on my phone.. It looks very neat and sleak!
The patience paid off..
Depend on KIES Only for Upgrades

After my current experience, I would always recommend KIES to everyone.
It is a great software and I think it gets blamed unnecessarily because of completely unrelated issues.

Nope.Kies is ofcourse a [email protected]*& when it comes to software update.Even I wont go for OTA.I always use odin for software update
But When compared to kies,OTA is better.
hey all,
i've had the same issue right here with my friends' note 1. i've tried to use odin to flash stock jb but failed..

First, what is your current Rom/Firmware?
Second, make sure that you have the latest LG Driver...to download it, go on lg website via support page.
Third, if you're on CM7/CM9, it's a kernel issue...just flash another one that support USB mass with PC.
Finally, if you still not able to connect it to your PC, you can download and flash via CWM a rebuild of Stock firmware like this one:

Hope that help :good:

Have you tried to directly flash a .kdz file? That should help, as your device came with 10a it should be a normal one and no developer.

I havent tried it yet...I will today when I come home...
I was researching a little...
how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?
I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office... he was saying that it's the final version...
there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?
ofcourse, software is version v10a....
maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?
I found some tutorial, does someone know will that help and could I brick it this way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861942

If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.
By that method you'll be able to flash it.
Pay attention to the tutorial before you start!

I am using win 7, 64 bit edition and I connected to my laptop win xp 32 bit edition, I manage to install everything, but when I connect phone (vol up and usb cable) the computer never finds omap4430...when I look at device manager i get a new hardware for about 3 seconds and then everything dissapears...

I got the same Message when I tried to check for updates. On my phone the solution was to enable OTA in the hidden menu.

As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.
About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.
Good luck

Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.
Good for you.
So my tab 8.9 has been working flawlessly, with a bit of a anomaly and I factory reset to trying to install a new rom on it.
After a factory reset, I could not do the following:
Can`t install any new apps (The play store is nowhere to be found, only very old market is there which doesn`t work
Can`t update (Computer won`t recognize, yes installed and reinstalled kies, samsung drivers, etc none worked. Tried wifi, changing ip settings, all doesn`t work: It shows up as Modem and I can`t do anything with it)
Can`t add account (After resetting many times, it never asks me to add an account like it normally should, nor can I add them manually. No workaround that worked so far, tried adding via email adding, etc, on setting button add account does nothing)
Can`t flash (Odin, CWM both doesn`t work, Odin says not supported and CWM just crashes before it even starts, Can`t flash via PC as I cannot connect to it)
It CAN connect to wifi, run the old stock browser, and transfer apps apk via USB connect port I have. Thankfully it still works. I connect a thumb drive to the tab and transfer files that way.
So how can I fix this
I would just like to flash ICS of any version OR even just make it work normally via stock update.
On a side note, I`m not sure if all tab does this but mine when I`d try to connect to a wifi at a college, it`d show multiple wifi and won`t connect to any, while my laptop shows just one wifi.

you mentioned that your tab's model is SHW-M305W
so this probably why you can't install any ROM
ammmm you know what I actually installed a stock Samsung P7310 framework on my P7300 through odin
but couldn't install P7320's ROM cuz P7310 is closer to my tab in everything
my point is if you'd like, you should try different ROMs for different models
BUT BE CAREFUL THIS MIGHT BREAK YOUR DEVICE, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
have you tried to flash this ROM [ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14] D-Host
I'm suggesting it because it doesn't have model check before flashing, so you won't face status 7 while installing

I see!!! Thanks for the best answer ever. Good to know someone knows about this.
I tried to flash that exact one but I couldn't even start because Odin or CWM or PC method doesn't seem to work.
I searched but I couldn't really find a way to flash via just factory reset or from a usb stick.
How could I flash? Odin says unsupported version, telling me to do something I forgot for half an hour and rom manager just crashes on start.
I'll do that as soon as I can find a way to actually flash just via factory reset perhaps.

Uhh, Well I just installed it via rooting and then downloading superuser apk and rom manager apk and then loading it on to USB stick
then I installed the app but it seemed to crash.
It was the latest version of the rom manager or what the quick google search showed me.
I'm starting to think that it must be this SHW model's fault that it's not responsive to any conventional method.
I really would try to flash some other way if you or anyone could tell me how, that'd be excellent because it seems the only methods of flashing new roms on it seems like Odin, CWM, PC.
Thank you as always for even remotely giving any attention at all. I greatly appreciate it and I'd do it for you.

Hopefully I can get some response oh man.
I don't know any way to flash, if you could give me a way to flash these ones, I'll try them.
Odin says incompatible and rom manager crashes
If you could link me a way to flash somehow, I'll apply that method with your referred roms

Hello. I have Sony Xperia T lt30p. Some time ago I decided to try to obtain some new version of Android in my phone. Since Sony no longer provide updates to my phone I have to do it by my self. I tried to study what needs to be done and try not to hurry things but there are still some major setback I cannot overcome. I am able to atleast Root my device but I unable to get further. Next step on my list is to unlock my bootloader. I check that my phone is unlockable but I stragle with part where I should connect my phone in fastboot mode and update drivers in my computer. For some reason my phone appears in Device manager just for few seconds and thus I am unable to upgrade drivers. I tried to click on update and choose where my drivers are stored, than my phone disapear from device manager but I keep that window open, then disconnect my device, connect again and click next but updating will fail again. I tried to Google it but I find only one post about this problem and the person solved it.by method I just described. Can someone please help me? I would like to use this thread as solver of my problems to get to higher android version. I hope I will be able to close this post soon
Thank you for your help.
I've had problems with that too, just do thisand repeat the process agin
Also read this guide about unlocking xperia bootloader
Thank you, it worked! Only diffence is that after using method from your first link I instaled this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
and then unlocked my bootloader. Great!
I now have my phone rooted and unlocked.
Next step is to install custom recovery and then some custom ROM.
Do you have any advice guys? What kind of custom ROM would you suggest me? I have Sony Xperia T lt30p with android 4.3.
Just simply 4.3? Or 5.1.1? And why? And do you know any good guide?
Thank you very much
