Help!!
Hey friends I downloaded the spice dream uno stock firmware from a thread in the android dev section when I downloaded the zip file it was not opening..... I've downloaded the file about 3 times and it doesn't open... pls help me ....
You can just use the following commands...
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
You'll be out of boot loop. No need to flash another firmware.
u need to hav unlocked boot loader to flash ROM .
as the above guy said , u need to untick logo nd OEM ..and after unlocking boot loader type this command
fastboot -w
it formats user data
Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that. You can do that by using the below command.
fastboot oem unlock
Then you have to press volume button to confirm. BTW I faced the same issue when I flashed to pure android one ROM. It makes the device more generic. Like a nexus with Google boot logo and bloatwares removed. You can try that. Links available in thebroodle.com post.

Hi Guys,
My Mi3 is bricked.I did a repartition some months back and I wanted to install MIUI 7.I used Miflash but it is showing size too large error while flashing.My recovery is replaced with stock recovery.I tried to use ADB to push the file,that is also not working as it is shoing device not found while I am in recovery.I installed Miphonemanager as well for that.But there is no luck.I am out of ideas.Can anyone please help me.
Can anyone let me know which driver I need to choose in driver manager for android in desktop? Currently I tried CMCC Composite ADB driver and Xiaomi Android Interface.
Flash latest TWRP first. What happened during repartition?
You can allways acces the eeprom writer through short circuiting the sim card, there are a lot of tutorials, the only way to brick this phone is breaking its hardware

Install custom recovery through fast boot mode... Then flash the repartition revert zip .. There is one revert zip in miui forum which ends like this "....EIPerroVerde". Only this revert zip works..Then use miflash .. It should work..

Hey Knight (didn't want to call you Dork :angel: )
I have a messed up phone,
2 questions here :
1- Would repartitioning reset ALL the partitions ?
2- When installing a ROM with fastboot, will ALL the partitions be filled with the necessary data ?
(I'm in doubt because of IMEI data)
Btw, can anyone point me to a link with WORKING fastboot ROM downloads ?

Repartitioning will wipe both your system partitions [EDIT: Seems I was wrong?]. If you want to use MIUI 7, you can use either extended partition, or stock partition using the zip from my link.
For fastboot I guess you'll need stock.
No, installing a MIUI fastboot ROM shouldn't touch your IMEI. But yeah everything else can be overwritten, depending on which bat file you use when flashing.
The process I'd recommend right now is to flash TWRP IMG using fastboot(use the 15-second ADB installer and look up a tutorial on how to flash an IMG. Basically just put the IMG into the adb/fastboot installation directory and then open a terminal window and then fastboot flash)
And as for MIUI fastboot ROM, you just gotta find the thread on MIUI forums. Google can help

Well there ARE a LOT of partitions on any device, but the important ones are system, boot, data, cache, modem etc.
That guide seems to manually mess with the partition table, so it gets down and dirty.
The easiest thing would be to do what I said, flash TWRP or CWM r7 by furniel and then the proper stock partition zip. Then use MiFlash or recovery to flash any ROM.
I think I'm back online

OK,
I followed your links and flashed :
First : Repartition to Stock Layout
Then : Repartition to 1.2GB Single System
Strange, after this, I did a normal reboot, it rebooted into my old ROM.
Shouldn't that have been erased after partitioning ?
Anyway,
Then I flashed ; update-XenonHD-08-08-15-signed-.zip
WAIT WAIT .....
as I'm typing, I'm flashing update-XenonHD-09-05-15-signed-cancro.zip,
first ROM in a few weeks that seems to be installing.
Let me check is it really installed .... YEP .... progress
Flashing : pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150418-signed
Everything seems to be going smooth
OK, for the time being .... all good.
Thanks a lot :good:
If your device cannot boot, flash it thru fastboot mode. See the full detailed tutorial on en.miui.com
Well you can directly flash with miflash even with the extended partition. Just edit the fastboot script (.bat extension with windows) and search for line
fastboot flash system+system1
And then delete system1
Fastboot flash system
And use those script for flashing via miflash
I restored my twrp backup and after that my internal memory was showing 0 mb. Actually userdata partition wasn't there. I tried to create it and ended up removing recovery, system partitions. Now my phone is in fastboot and I donot have system, recovery partitions. I can't go to recovery or use adb. Please help me how can i reset my partitions now or boot my device :crying:
Is there any way with which i can modify my partitions using fastboot?

The miui link dat i gave u download the cancro merge partition zip ok extract it and ull find a folder named images. Luk into dis folder ull know about all the images dat r required to be flashed before flashing any kernel or rom ok.
A simple fastboot flash all is enough and ull have ur mi3 ready once again to flash ny custom rom and gapps.
In d same link the developer has created a special recovery compatible wid merged partition which will help u to flash ny rom dat u want.
All d best

Hi guys is title says its stuck on formation data (via recovery) and if I try wiping emmc (via factory mode) it gets stuck there.
It all started when I shared 3 apps superbeam,lucky patcher and busybox installer .as I was transferring I started installations them both super beam and lucky patcher installed successfully but in busybox got stuck in installation I tried to switch off by power key but didn't work so I powered off by small key (hidden near SD card) then restarted but got stuck on android logo (bootloop) then I booted into recovery for clearing data and caches but it got stucked there . then I booted into factory mode to wipe emmc but also got stuck there ..
Now here I am with uncharged phone , if I charge it I boot in clearing data and got stuck but if I boot in factory mode and try to wipe emmc it get stuck there ... Please help here I really need to revive it

All you can try now is go and flash the factory firmware stock (according previous android version 5.0.2 or 6.0)
Factory firmware flashing doesnt require bootloader to be unlocked so u can try this

As I previously said (according to your previous android version means when phone is dead then whatever is the android version (5.0.2 or 6.0) you need to flash the files.)
For eg.
If (your phone is on 5.0.2) then
you need to flash stock 5.0.2 firmware.
elseif (your phone is on 6.0) then
you need to flash stock 6.0 firmware.
endif.
Note: Don't flash wrong files, else it's gonna brick the device.
Don't ever downgrade from latest android version to previous.
Thanks

CUSTOM ROM FLASHING GUIDE
So finally we have a stable LOS rom and slowly we'll be getting many more n to help everyone these are the steps u should follow to succesfully install custom roms.
STEPS
Starting of most of you will be coming from locked bootloader/ unlocked and never installed anything before if thats the case
unlock through guides already present but remember always STICK TO LATEST STOCK FIRMWARE
Download latest platform tools from here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Users coming from stock need to backup internal storage n all other data As stock data is encrypted custom roms cant be flashed without wiping first
To format go to fastboot and run
Code:
fastboot format -w userdata
or simply
Code:
fastboot -w
now ur internal storage is wiped completely along with userdata
Next step is to flash twrp , when ur in fastboot u can see the active slot , this is the slot you need to flash custom rom over
so we need to switch to the inactive slot to do that :
Code:
fastboot set_active a
or
Code:
fastboot set_active b
whichever is the inactive one
once we are in the inactive slot its time to flash TWRP.
find the download link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-x-t3849245
Flash TWRP BOOT IMG by :
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
For instance if my active slot was B where i had stock rom installed , i will flash TWRP to A, now after finishing above step, u need to reboot to recovery
Go To REBOOT and select slot B ( considering above assumption)
WIPE : go to wipe then select
Data
sytem
Cache
NO NEED TO FORMAT INTERNAL STORAGE IF ALREADY FORMATTED VIA FASTBOOT
This applies even if switching between custom ROMS
If u dont plan on formatting internal storage everytime , my advice would be to flash DFE ( DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION )
With this ur custom ROM wont encrypt DATA , and u can switch between roms without wiping internal storage ( WARNING: formatting from fastboot will wipe internal & app data n other userdata must be wiped if switching between two different ROMS) DFE will be linked below
DFE MUST BE FLASHED ON BOTH SLOTS BUT MAINLY UR ACTIVE SLOT WHERE U WILL BE USING CUSTOM ROM
DEFAULT TWRP BEHAVIOUR FOR A/B PARTITION DEVICES IS : ROMS WILL ALWAYS BE FLASHED ON INACTIVE SLOT , i.e: IF TWRP IS ON SLOT A , ROM WILL BE FLASHED ON SLOT B AND VICE VERSA
So for Clarity , lets assume my stock rom was in slot B
Then u need to select SLOT A in reboot settings fo TWRP
Flash ROM
FLASH TWRP ZIP , As Recovery img comes with BOOT.img (since we dont have recovery partition) every time u flash a boot img recovery will be replaced, thus in this case since laos rom or any other comes with their own recovery u need to flash TWRP zip
Most IMPORTANT STEP : After u flash CUSTOM ROM, IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO :
REBOOT TO RECOVERY
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now since we flashed to OUR ACTIVE SLOT : B, twrp will boot to SLOT B Automatically ( CONSIDERING U FLASHED TWRP ZIP AFTER ROM)
GAPPS AND ADD ON ZIPS ( LIKE MAGISK, MODULES ETC) IS RECOMMENDED TO BE FLASHED ON THE SAME SLOT AS YOUR ROM , AND PREFERABLY TWRP OF THE SAME SLOT
REBOOT ENJOY
Links
Dfe - see attachment
Twrp zip - see attachment
Just for understanding...
what are these slot-A and B?
What could be the size of each slot?
Is this phone partition table unlike any other?
Thanks for the guide dude.
This is what i have understood.
If stock rom is on slot A
Then we have to fastboot flash twrp on slot B
And from that twrp we have to flash custom rom and twrp zip on slot A
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Slot A and Slot B are partitions and its size are same.
It is 2 different blocks in a given memory.
No phone partition layout is different in AB scheme. they both are completely isolated.
do we need to unlock the bootloader before this. If yes, how to do it
Edit- Found it and was able to unlock the bootlocker using the app from Asus Support.
Thank You for this wonderful guide. Have now been able to successfully flash the Pixel experience ROM on the phone.
This is exciting, finally some nice roms for 5Z! Will be playing with this over the weekend. Thank you for your work!
Thanks a lot for your comprehensive guide, got to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp as per the guide.
However, I have a problem booting the ROM; the ROM installs perfectly well and I can reboot into recovery but can't get past the "ASUS" screen upon actually trying to boot the ROM.
Am I missing something? I followed everything down precisely and I honestly don't know what am I messing up.
A little help would be appreciated.

Sure! start of by telling which vendor u were on in stock? .72 is needed for roms ..and looking at ur station I think probably flashing from wrong slot

I was at .72 itself and my active slot was b, I switched the active slot to a and flashed the the twrp.
Booted into the twrp and switched the slot to b (where my stock is installed) - wiped the data as told and installed the pixel experience ROM - flashed the permanent twrp again and rebooted to twrp (just to check since gapps are already pre-installed in pixel experience).
Rebooted the whole device again from twrp and the loops starts.

I did wipe the userdata as well before doing anything.
And i did flash "disableforceencryption.zip" as well during the guide.

Use unbrick method, raw firmware in the root guide. Download updates from Asus site and copy into internal memory for latest version. You can try installing whatever you want and if you mess up you can always flash_all cmd and start over.
