Lenovo K3 won't start after partition change - K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm quite new here so Im already making an appolagie for the fact that i probably won't understand everything you say.
My problem: I wanted to install a custom rom on my Lenovo. Using the abd commands I was able to change the partitions because an error said that the rom file was to big. I tried to change them but now my phone won't boot at all, it freezes at the Lenovo logo. I also can't get in the recovery mode using the volumes and power button.
Could someone please help me, I really don't know what to do anymore and I really need this phone working.

[Q] Help? I think i've bricked Nexus one

Hello,
I have a nexus one that isn't working anymore. I was trying to install the cyanogenmod, but I guess I didn't do it correctly.
I was following the clockworkmod way from this: h t t p ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
When flashing the rom something went wrong. After step 6 my phone didnt reboot, it just stayed off. Now it will only give me the nexus sign if i turn on the phone.
I can still acces the recovery menu when holding Power + volume down.
People told that I should go back to the stock rom.
Can anybody please help me?
*don't know if i've posted in the right category
When you get to recovery is it still clockwork or stock? If clockwork then try and flash cm6 again. If not you will have to download a stock rom push it to the sdcard as an update.zip and boot into the boot loader.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab, that makes phone calls
Since you can boot into recovery you have NOT bricked it for sure
As mentioned in the earlier post try to flash the CM ROM again
If you are unable to access the custom recovery (as in, the stock recovery is still in place), you can follow the manual instructions for installing ClockworkMod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide#Manual_Method
You can then follow the procedure for flashing the appropriate radio image: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...ll_Update_Guide#ClockworkMod_Recovery_process
And you can even install the ROM without using Rom Manager using this process: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...Update_Guide#Second_Method_.28via_Recovery.29
All of this is, as I'm sure you've noticed, posted on the same page that you linked. Hopefully this information will help you, now that you have been assured that your phone is not bricked.
Thanks for quick replies. I've contacted a guy with a lot of knowledge about these kind of thinks and helped me fixing me phone. I dont know exactly what went down but I will give it a try.
My first mistake was thinking that I rooted my phone (using the one click method). Don't know if thats the right way to do it, but in the end it wasn't rooted and I tought it was.
The guy rooted my phone, did the AmonRa recovery install and installed the Ethernom Rom for me. Great to have my phone back to working and great Rom btw.

[Q] Soft brick but no recovery

Hello everyone,
I tried looking for a solution to this problem, but either can't understand the suggestions or it doesn't really fit with my situation...
For some reason I managed to soft brick my TF701, trying to go back to stock after a CM install.
Anyways, I get stuck on the ASUS logo. I can access fastboot buf if I select RCK I get an error message. I can also connect in APX.
Any ideas on how I could flash a ROM on this device?
Many thanks in advance and sorry if there was an answer somewhere I missed...
I feel a bit ashamed now, I actually found a solution on my own and it wasn't that hard...
My main issue was not being able to access recovery. So I ended up doing the recommended steps here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425581
up to the flash part and instead flashed this version of CWM
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3568
This actually got me a working recovery, which I used to successfully flash a rom and my tablet is running again, as well as recovery mode.
Sorry for the thread, I could have managed on my own. If there's a way to delete it?

I8190 SIII Mini Soft-Bricked, need help

Hey people, I have been on this forum and using the CM12.1 ROM by New Maclaw since it came out, but I'm afraid my S3 Mini is dead now Saturday night it turned off by itself while charging, and it wouldn't turn on again. I let it charge a little, and after a while it turned on again, but was stuck on the CM12.1 boot animation. I tried rebooting multiple times, but it always got stuck on the boot animation. I tried booting into TWRP, but it got stuck on the Galaxy SIII Mini splash screen and wouldn't even go any further.
I was getting my hopes up when I saw download modus still working, so I flashed TWRP again with Odin, but nothing changed. I flashed the entire CM12.1 package again with Odin, but it had no effect whatsoever, can't boot into TWRP and regular boot is stuck on CM boot logo.
Since I had no options left, I decided to follow this guide: [GUIDE] Unroot / Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8190 to flash original ROM again, first flashing the original recovery as linked in the thread, then the ROM itself, and checking after each step if anything changed. But even after I flashed the stock ROM, it would show the CM 12.1 boot animation on boot, and recovery was still not working at all. I continued by flashing the params.tar as linked in the post, but my phone still shows the CM 12.1 boot animation, and I can't get any further
What's really concerning to me is the fact that all the flash operations via Odin are going through, I get a PASS every time, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, so I'm afraid the memory chip on my phone has died There are so many great minds in here that know everything about this phone, maybe someone has an idea to help me get my trusted S3 mini back
Super weird. It's not soft bricked, it's completely f#cked up:laugh: OK, have you tried to remove the battery for some minutes!? Or go in recovery through adb instead!? If you have a backup (that's why, we always need a backup) maybe you can restore it through adb. Search on XDA for adb tutorials or something like that or some case like yours. I want to believe that you're not the first one with that issue. I know that's frustrating when we don't know what's going on. Good luck

I don't really care about backups, all my important data is on the SD anyway, I just want to bring the phone back to life if possible at all.
While on the CM12.1 boot screen I can find the phone with adb, but since I never set up adb my computer is unauthorized, and I can't authorize it without being able to boot. I'm not all that familiar with adb, I asked some people, but nobody has an idea how I can authorize my computer without having access to the phone system.

Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Accidently erased the whole drive, phone stuck on boot menu

Hello Guys
Today iv rooted my Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, installed twrp recovery, all worked well. Then i decided to look for a stable rom, because my rom wasnt allowing me to use mobile data, i was getting error that sim card is not cnc. So because i couldnt find another solution on this, iv tried few roms that i found stable and with easy instal and good reviews. None of the roms worked for me, i dont know why, because i was following the tutorials. And when i was trying out the last rom something happened, when the phone booted to the recovery it didnt asked for pattern lock anymore and was saying : E:Unable to decrypt FBE device. And after that i noticed that my data and system data is missing from the main storage, So now the phone powers on to the boot menu and i can access twrp recovery and thats it. Please can someone help me to fix this

Rog phone 2 stuck on a bootloop without ever trying to install a custom rom

I have my rog 2 stuck in a bootloop. I don't really know why in the first place, because I don't like to change and mess around with custom roms. So i've never done that.
The case was that I was watching a video on YouTube and suddenly the touch screen stopped responding, the phone kept responding to other inputs such as the power button and the volume rocker. So I decided to restart the phone. And then it didn't turn on again. Got stuck in a boot loop.
I've been trying to fix it for a long time. But I just can't do it. Nor am I able to see what is happening with the phone. I have used this guide.
EVERYTHING works perfectly, it doesn't give me any errors during flashing or anything like that. Even the program tells me that the rom has been flashed correctly, and even the rog logo during boot, changes (I suppose because it is a version of the rom prior to the one I had.). The fact is that even with that the phone is still stuck in the bootloop. I have tried more things but this is the one that has taken me the furthest. I don't know what else to try. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me.
P.D. Sorry if my English is a bit rusty.
go back to stock and try other rom.
