[Q] Problem with unbrick

Hello everyone, I probably brick my s5570.. it constantly reboots after loading the first samsung image and the second one with the phone model. i can access at the recovery mode but when I try to change rom from sd, the installation aborting after an error.Same thing if I try to return to the factory settings. Also i tried with odin but the phone is not detected, and the problem can't be a bad installation of odin or drivers because i got another S5570 and I tried it and it works perfectly. I have not tried only with jig. have anyone other ideas or procedures by suggesting? Thanks

Android system recovery ?
Are you not using CWM recovery !?!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA

are you using ROM manager?

i tried to flash the cwr but nothing cause odin dont see my phone..i tried only with odin or with the flash by recovery,not with rom manager

You dint brick the phone I think...answer these questions carefully ---
1. What rom are u using? Stock or custom?
2. Did u properly download the rom? To verify, open the rom on PC and see if its opening or giving error.
3. If the above problem is true..download again and flash again
4. What cwm recovery are u using? ?
5. If Odin not detecting, have u installed KIES in PC? Without kies and mini drivers, Odin won't detect.
6. Check whether USB cable is working or not...
7. Have u wiped data and cache before flashing new rom?

i tried to flash the cwm without success from the sd..i dont try kies, but odin and drivers are all ok because detected the other s 5570 that i have..the usb cable is ok. I tried to wipe data but give me an error (i wrote the errors in the other post)

no idea??

Well try first put your device in download mode (power button+volume down+home button)
If success open odin connect your phone to PC and to flash (install) CWM put:
OPS--OPS
then mark one package and put
ONE PACKAGE-- CWM file.
Hope ti helped.
It will take about 3-5 min.

Hi bro, because you did it the wrong way that's the problem "never ever, flash a custom rom from stock recovery"
now your phone isn't bricked but in amnesia and need to be revived, this is the cure :
since you're able to access stock recovery that let you flash cwm recovery from there:
1- download the custom recovery (update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip) from here http://www.mediafire.com/?xk637cg12kt2cl0
2- copy it to your sd card (through card reader via your pc) then reboot the phone to recovery mode (press and hold power button+home button)
3- on android stock recovery hit "apply update from sdcard" then choose "update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip" wait till it shows "install from sdcard complete"
4-Turn Off your phone, remove your sdcard then put a custom rom on it, insert back the sd card into phone then reboot to recovery mode
5- now you should see the new custom recovery, in the list choose: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition then hit install zip from sdcard and choose your custom rom
6-after completing install process, wipe data and cache then hit reboot system
7-if all goes well your phone will boot normally like it should

Wipe data/cache before and after you flash the rom.. or reinstall the rom again.. and by the way, you have GB installed before you did all these, right? Just making sure you did not install all these with froyo..

[SOLVED] Am I bricked? PLEASE help me :(

Hi guys. I'm quite a noob, but have a good experience on flashing without be bricked (CM9, CM10, Crash, Paranoid...), but I have a problem.
I will explain to you step-by-step what I've done with my Note, so I wish some of you could help me.
1) I was running JB Crash ROM with PhilZ kernel.
2) Some apps got Force Close too often, so I went on Rom Manager and, after a look into the "Fix permissions" description ("It will fix some force closes" or something like that), I decided to give it a try and I tapped on it.
3) After that, my homescreen became unusable, because "TouchWiz Home" got EVERY TIME force closed without reason. Everything else worked fine, so I deciced to boot into CWM recovery to restore a nandroid backup of the same ROM.
4) Instead of tapping "restore", I tapped "backup" (my fault) and it started without possibility of get back. I got something like 200 Mb of free space, so in every case it will never have had success. My Note stucked at this point, so I decided to reboot manually (vol up+home+power) into recovery. Finally I tried to "restore" but I get this message: "ERROR WHILE RESTORING /SYSTEM".
5) I tried to reboot my Note, but it stucks at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen without going on.
The good news is that it can go without problems into recovery and into download mode. What can I do? Flashing from CWM, for example, CM9 can fix this?
Please help me thanks!

1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe data, dalvik and cache
3. Format system
4. Reflash your ROM
Don't use rom manager it's not compatible ....

After formatting /system, can I try to restore my nandroid backup? Or I have to necessary reflash my ROM? In that case, it's the same thing make it via CWM or via ODIN PC? I'm still on PhilZ recovery, which is safe I guess!
Anyway, thanks for your help

Via CWM or Odin, depends if you have your rom in the zip or the md5.tar format.
I would reflash to be clean. It's a bit more work in restoring your apps and data
afterwards, but at least you don't restore any messed up files.

if you can still access CMW and Download Mode then you probably are not brick... try fresh install through pc odin.. safe method no need to worry about bricking by fullwiping on unsafe kernel or raising triagle or binary counter whatsoever.. if you wanna play safe then PC ODIN and after that you can root your rom

Thank you guys, now I'm on stock ICS flashed via PC Odin and everything works fine I knew I was 99% not-bricked (still recovery and download mode avaiable), but I was a little scared too.
Thank you again!

glad you solved it.. :good:

[Q] No OS installed

I had installed CM10 on my optimus 2x but I had a problem with the rom so I tried to flash another rom.
By mistake I wiped data, davlik-cache and everything else. So I don't have a backup. When I try to install another rom through TWRP is says that it failed and afterwards it says No OS installed, Are you sure you want to reboot?
Please I only want to return to the original stock rom and upgrade from that to ICS. I found the guide on how to update to ICS so all I'm asking for is how to get out of this No OS installed trouble.
I appreciate alll effort.

Hi Mate dont panic it´s easy to fix have u try any Nflash procedure yet ?

Try Stefans V28G via nflash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097
Direct link: http://d-h.st/PNj
Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked. They are included in the latest NVFlash builds. Tutorial on driver installation: http://www.modaco.com/topic/335416-n...-links-active/
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flash_windows.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!

You can connect phone to pc and copy a cm10, don't reboot phone, you must mount mass USB storage. Copy and flash: )

i suppose you're on the old bootloader? then just use AIO Toolkit ->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Use Option 4, then you'll get the new bootloader and CWM installed. Afterwards just flash a ICS Rom or CM10(ICS BL) via CWM!

Since data is lost anyway, try running AIO toolkit to reflash the bootloader which also fixes recovery and partitions.

Should I throw the phone away?

Okay. I'm gonna keep it short.
Model: z3c (d5803)
Used FlashTool for mac and tried to flash a new firmware. Don't know why but things went from and the phone started to bootloop.
I managed with the help of FlashTool to get CWM working. However, when I download a ROM such as for example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and try to install the zip from within CWM, I don't get an error message but it doesn't seem like nothing is happening.
When I then clear the cache and reboot the phone, it just get stuck at the sony text screen.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You are struck on Sony Logo, that means your phone don't have ROM to boot up. Make a clean flash of your ROM.zip
1. Enter into recovery
2. Wipe (data+system+cache+dalvic cache)
3. Install ROM.zip
4. Wipe cache + Dalvic cache
5. Reboot
Note: .ftf could not be flashed through recovery
If something goes wrong, let me know.

If u have a backup of the boot try flashing it OR since u are able to access TWRP, flash another ROM(which was stable) properly after wiping the partitions..
U can copy paste another ROM zip file from pc since the internal storage can be accessed from pc in TWRP mode..
Good luck!!

Same happened here. Please suggest some solution.

same happened to me: the phone was encrypted!!!
i discovered myself that... or the twrp 3.1.1.0 does NOT support encryption............ OR the resurrection remix rom that i used does not support encryption.
try to format data, change file system and return to ext4. i fixed the problem reflashing the new rom but this time KEEPING THE ENCRIPTION OFF

My phone TWRP-looped many times. The solution is actually easy.
1. Reflash using SPFlashtool ONLY the stock recovery
2. boot into stock recovery
3. choose english > press reboot phone
4. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
5. reflash TWRP
cheers
or
1. Copy stock recovery.img into sdcard
2. In twrp, select Install and navigate to where you put stock recovery.img
3. Press install image. Then, Select recovery.img. Slide to install
4. boot into stock recovery
5. choose english > press reboot phone
6. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
7. reflash TWRP
DONE
