Hello,
I have a K3 Note, the K50-3Ts version, that I am trying to flash.
After I installed TWRP and SU, it would get stuck on the Lenovo splash screen.
Not to worry, I was going to flash it.
I've tried several files, either from links here or from Needrom. Every time I get an error message that the file I am trying to flash is corrupt.
I figure one or two files corrupt is a misfortune. But three, !
I was trying to install via OTG USB, because for some reason the SD card is not read.
Any ideas anyone? In the meantime, I'll go and try another one or two downloads.

Hi,
i tried rooting following the guide Here and it was ok until i had to start and run update.zip i just got a message saying it doesnt exist and since then i have not been able to boot, it goes straight into system recovery.

please help
EDIT: please ignore problem solved

Hello Everyone
I know, there are many How-To's and ways to achieve what I want. unfortunately non of those I tried have worked.
My goal. I want to unroot my Hero, to send it back to RMA, because the usb controller is not working. And this is the second biggest Problem atm.
All the How-To's to unroot the device an install the original RUU or at least most of them include the use of the USB function. (creating a gold card 4 example or flashing a different bootloader)
To the USB Controller. It is hopeless. I tried everything. I even set up a Linux VM but where ever I plug it in, the system won't recognise my hero. They don't even recognise something.
Lucky me, the Hero is still able to charge the battery.

Ok lets give some details on the actual situation.
I'm able to boot to HBOOT/Fastboot (volume down)
I'm able to boot to Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7 (home)
Right now, it's restoring the system to FroydVillain 1.7.1, because i formated the boot partition (After 5 hours, I was tired and did one big mistake)
> The restore worked. I have my old System again.
What I tried to do
1. I downloaded the actual RUU, ran it, got the rom.zip out of it.
2. Booted into Clockwork Mod and tried to install from zip, where i got [Error Message 1]
3. Renamed the rom to update.zip and tried to install toe "normal" way. Also got the same [Error Message 1]
4. Renamed the rom into HEROIMG.zip, ran HBOOT which checks the zip and led me to [Error Message 2]
Error Message 1
Code:

I downloaded the actual Hero RUU three times from the website, in case something went wrong while dl.
I got an older RUU from a xda thread and tried it with tis one.
I am not able to create a goldcard, because you have to connect the phone via usb to a computer.
Well Any help is much appreciated.
Regards

EDIT 2
At first the fact that you named it herOimg.zip and not herCimg.img made me pause for a second.. but I just noticed you're using FroydVillain which is a GSM Hero rom. You might be better off asking in your portal and not CDMA Hero
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508
When you do the hboot method try naming it HERCIMG.zip not HEROIMG.zip
If you're still having problems, use the one I have on my phone to unroot
Edit: nvm my dropbox link, use this one ->LINK ..should do the job you want
And if you still have problems unrooting via sdcard, enable s-off for your bootloader either by following this link or this one
Omg, I'm sorry.
I'll open a Thread at the right position
Thank you anyway

I have a Verizon Galaxy tablet 7 inch the original one. I have had many custom roms on it in the past. Recently I had AOKP on it...I am not sure what build. For some reason my kids were playing with it and it would not boot up. I went into recovery and tried flashing AOKP and it would stay locked up on the boot screen. I eventually tried flashing all ICS roms with no success. I eventually ended up trying to go back to stock. I can get into download mode with and communicate with Heimdall and/or Odin. The problem is that every thing I flash goes into a boot loop. when I go into recovery I get an unable to mount error like E: unable to mount cache and one for kernel and about 6 more. I figure that there is something wrong with the file system so I have used a pit file when I flashed with no success. I am not sure if there is an issue with the file system being the wrong type or if I have to many partitions now. I know that the mount error in recovery is where the problem has to be. If someone could please point me in the right direction. I have been all over these forums.
Thanks,
Leroy
In order to determine if it is file related. Try to do a full wipe right after the Odin.
That is all 3 Wipes (Cache,Dalvik,Data)
Also check all the boxes on the right side of the Odin screen to flash the stock rom.
Well I got a little further now it boots up after 5 minutes and states encryption unsuccessful and asks to reset tablet. There is some threads on this so I will get to trying to resolve this. In fact I just realized this is how everything started off I didn't read the message and powered it down. So it must have started on its own or from the kids playing on the tablet.
Is there any way to determine if your internal memory is shot. It seems like there is a problem mounting my internal memory > emmc?
Hi everyone. I have a problem I can't seem to resolve. I tried updating to the OTA jellybean update a couple weeks ago, it seemed to go ok. I then tried to go back to an earlier version of eclipse rom I was using. Now when I power on the phone I get AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure). I can select normal boot and it will go into my ICS Rom that I have loaded in slot 1 after going thru my safestrap recovery program. So the phone is not unusable, just very annoying to use. My question is, how can I get the fastboot flash mode flash failure warning to not show up every time I reboot the phone? I've tried loading the Stock JB Rom from verizon, Blur_Version.6.7.246.xt875.verizon.en.us with RSD Lite, but when I try to extract the files with RSD, I get the error "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing." I just want to be able to get a stock rom back on my phone, without any errors when I boot it, I don't care if I have root, safestrap, or anything else, I just want a properly working phone. Any suggestions how to get rid of the boot flash failure warning? Thanks!!!! Richard
Update.... Looks like I really screwed it up now. Tried to rsd lite a JB rom, got about 1/2 way, to copying system image, then hung up. Now when I reboot, it won't even go into recovery or normal mode... Stoopid operator malfunction..... Any suggestions on which rom I can try to install via RSD Lite to help get it back going? It will still go into AP fastboot mode.
He's dead, Jim. Nothing is working, no rom will load, they either fail or hang up. Now both of my batteries are dead, and it won't even try to do anything. Any suggestions?? Guess I'm in the market for another phone. Maybe some of the gurus on here have some advice. Thx.
He's alive, Jim!!!!!

Thanks to some other posts on here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236980 I tried installing the system and preinstall img files manually thru moto fastboot. They seemed to hang up after a few minutes, but I tried to install the files anyway. Afterwards, I was able to get into recovery mode and do a system wipe and reinstall the JB rom that I had on my SD card. Now a couple hours later, I got the pageplus 4g issue fixed again, and just finished rooting it with the tutorial on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256439.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work.
Hey guys!
So, here's what happened, step by step
I was on a BlissPop 5.1.1, but I wanted to install xposed. I hadn't any truly funcional recovery, only the built-in CM recovery. So I was trying to install one.
I found and .img file of twrp, then I flashed it thru flashtool, as the guides told me. But than I got stuck on twrp and, as I didn't expected it, I didn't made a backup. In another place, I found a guy saying that it was an issue that happens when you lose the misc.img file, and you can skip the 'flashing the ROM all over again' step just by flashing this file.
Then I downloaded it and my device softbricked. And then I look to do the same stuff that we always do when the phone got softbricked: install the stock firmware all over again.
I know I did a lot of mistakes and complicated the whole thing, but here was when something that I didn't know how to fix appeared:
I put it on flash mode, green light, but it just can't flash the tft file. The device keeps connecting/disconnecting over and over and when it finally starts to flash, I got the message "error in the processHeader: 5 - access denied" and I can't find a solution anywhere, not anyone with the same issue, nothing.
Right now I'm installing the PC companion to check if it is a driver problem, but I need to hear from you guys some advice to fix this.
Thanks a lot
