Hmm... if you knew exactly which apps you deleted, you might be able to find them in another ROM and just adb push them back to the tab.
Otherwise, at this point, I would suggest a re-stock (take the tab back to factory settings via re-flash).
Which tab do you have exactly, and what Android OS were you running? For example, I have a Galaxy Tab 7" P1000 GSM (T-Mobile) and I used to run Gingerbread (2.3.3)

thanks
mine is a Galaxy Tab 7" P1000 GSM (ORANGE) on Gingerbread (2.3.3)
I know I uninstalled z4root but honestly cant recall what else.
How easy is it to restore?
Not sure how I reflash it?

Hmm, I'm not too sure if you need root or not to do an adb push, but it's pretty much:
Download app to computer, plug tab to pc, open cmd and do adb push FILE.apk
You'd need android SDK though prior to that and platform tools.
As for re-stocking, you can either use Odin (samsung's phone/tab flashing tool) or Heimdall (open-source flashing tool). In any case though, Team Overcome made a nice guide for restocking that should work with Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
In short, you want to have Samsung's drivers installed, reboot your tab and put it in download mode, download the files needed to re-stock from that thread, open Odin, enter the gt-p1000 pit for pit, GB-stock-safe-v5.tar for the pda, and a modem for modem, then start flashing
I also made a nice guide involving Heimdall re-stocking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508703

wow
bit too complicated for me I am afraid.
I am grateful for your reply, but I could not do that.
Looks like my TAB is useless now

It's not really too hard I'd hate to see your tab useless though.
If you had some sort of instant messenging service, I could maybe guide you through the process

thanks but I do not use Instant messaging.
@yyalanyy on twitter is all, but doubt tht could help?
If you could email me any simple [and I mean simple] help to [email protected]ltrans.co.uk I would be very grateful.

I can make you a package zip that will pretty much only require you to install drivers and then run 1 file (I can give you a small walkthrough on how to setup the drivers in email)
It'll take me a little bit to upload it though (I would say 40mins :/). Otherwise, if someone else feels like offering some simple instructions, feel free to do so

That would be great
many many thanks

Actually, download this: http://www.rosanoscorner.com/p1000/downloads/GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip
And i'll upload my batch file in a bit. You'll just have to extract some things though
---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------
Here's a guide (it's a bit long, but the steps are really quick)
- You'll also want 7zip installed (WinRAR might also work if it can open .tar), it's a free program for unzipping archives
1. Download that .zip file above and unzip somewhere
2. Download my archive here and unzip somewhere: http://www.mediafire.com/?pdpy59z6bdej6wb
3. In my folder, there is a Drivers folder, go in it
4. Run SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones (if it says drivers are already installed, then close it)
5. Reboot tab into Download Mode (shut it off and unplug from charger/computer, hold Vol-Down button and power)
6. Plug tab into computer
7. Go to the Drivers folder in my folder and open zadig
8. Options > List All Devices
9. Select Samsung USB Composite Device

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
10. Hit Install Driver (accept any prompts you see about unsigned drivers)
11. If it's successful, close it
12. Unplug tab and plug it back into computer (on the same USB port)
13. Go to the folder you extracted GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip at
14. Find the folder called JPZ Modem (for anyone else following this, use the modem of preference)
15. Go into it, take the modem.bin, put it into my folder (my folder with the .bat and heimdall stuff)
16. Go back to the GB stock folder
17. Open GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar (7-zip should open this like an archive)
18. Drag every file in that .tar to my heimdall folder
19. Run flash.bat in my folder
20. Do not do anything with the tab until it's done
21. Once the tab is done, you should be in recovery. You have to (i think) use the volume buttons to scroll up and down in the menu, but you have to wipe data, and then reboot to system
22. Done
I'll be here if you need any help still

hi
i have followed your instructions. when I run the flash,bat a cmd window opens, tells me to press any key but nothing happens?

Hmm, it should be starting Heimdall and starting a 1-2min flashing process. Not too sure why it wouldn't actually work though
Try running it again and then when it says press any key, Right-click anywhere in command prompt > select all, and then when everything is selected, press Enter. Then copy/paste that into a post here

C:\Users\alan acer\Desktop\helpsamsung\Re-stock (Heimdall)>heimdall flash --repa

C:\Users\alan acer\Desktop\helpsamsung\Re-stock (Heimdall)>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

its approaching 1.00am here so I must get some sleep.
Thanks for your help
I will have another try tomorrow
Thanks you

Hmm, how many files are in your Heimdall folder and how big is the folder? I think you should have about 15 files in the folder total, equaling 391MB
Edit: Just saw your message about you heading to bed, night

think thats the problem.
After using 7zip on your download there are only 6 files totalling 28mb ?

Hi
Tried it again and it worked!
So pleased thank you for all of your help
Problem now is different as it is now NOT rooted.
and it seems very laggy now.
I have tried Z4 root and it fails
I have tried superone click and that fails at stage 6
Any ides?
Would it be best via ODIN?

Hmm, thought I hit reply earlier but guess not :/
Anyway, with Odin, the only thing that is different is that it automatically wipes data/factory reset and wipes internal SD instead of you having to manually do this. Generally, Odin is slower as well too, but it does work
As for Root, hmm, not too sure what can be done about this. I can't recall me actually rooting Gingerbread (maybe someone else can shed some light on this?) I always flashed a custom ROM right after I re-stock, and most (if not all) custom ROM's offer Root instantly

No worries. At least my tab is useable again now. I would once again like to thank you for the help and time that you have given to me.

.backup file

Hello,
So my phone was stuck in bootloop and thus, I created a backup in my SD card. The files are shown as 13 files of 2GB size each with an extension ".backup" Anyone has any idea on how to combine these files and access the data inside on PC. The data is very important. Thank you!

Crosspost from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/moto-e4-plus-restart-loop.4241427/
I've had numerous Moto devices and have never seen any backup options in stock recovery., so I haven't any idea what format these are using.

readback stock recovery from SP Flash Tool and flash TWRP. also readback metadata partition (crypto footer). do not unlock bootloader because encryption is bonded to bootloader state. if you are lucky TWRP will work on locked bootloader. TWRP will decrypt your data so you can backup everything

How to do this? USB debugging and OEM are not ON in my phone. I saw some tutorial on YouTube, but it requires USB debugging.
Can't I use those userdata_*****.backup files?

usb-debugging is another option to access your data (can be enabled in boot.img)
SP Flash Tool is for preloader mode, no usb-debugging required
https://android.stackexchange.com/q/203283

wait, you did factory reset already? in that case crypto footer is reset too. backup is encrypted and therefore useless unless crypto-footer is restored.
you said you restored backup, are you sure? does the phone boot into lock screen like before and is pattern still the same?

Yes, the password is still the same. It's like the phone is again in the same condition with the same issue of boot loop.
I saw some tutorial on SP flash tool and what I did was:
1. Downloaded the SP flash tool
2. Downloaded TWRP recovery specific to my phone
3. Opened flash tool, went to download, clicked on scatter loading, selected the file and then clicked on download and connected my switched off device to the PC via USB
But, nothing happened after that.
My phone started charging, but nothing else happened.
I thought drivers weren't installed, so I went Driver Autoinstaller folders (there were 2 of them) and clicked on Driver Install, but it showed me this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Then I clicked on finish and it showed this
When I went to the second folder, it showed me this
Is it because of this, that my device is not detected by this flash tool, and if yes, what can I do?

Yes it's driver issue. Disable driver signature enforcement and reboot. open device manager, connect phone and immediately select yellow triangle. install inf manually with let me pick option
you should not flash TWRP without a backup of stock recovery. Do a readback first. Also it is important the scatter file is matching your current partition layout. therefore you should analyze the result. if you are able to extract ramdisk with AIK then you have successfully dumped stock recovery (and can proceed with next step flashing twrp)

Understood before the readback thing. What is readback? I saw the tab in flash tools, but didn't get what it was? Can you please tell how to do that? (sorry for irritating, as I said I am a noob )
And how to analyse the result part? I didn't get the "extract ramdisk with osmosis AIK"
Is there any tutorial video that you know of, if yes, kindly send the link please coz I don't understand these terms.
And thanks a ton for this!!!

on readback tab delete all entries. add one entry for EMMC_USER. give meaningful file name recovery.img. enter length and start address in hex (refer to scatter file). start readback and connect phone.
Disable Antivirus program and download AIK. copy recovery.img into AIK directory and execute unpackimg.bat. enable Antivirus when done

So, what length and start address am I supposed to enter in hex?
And you shared the link AIK, in that there are so many options, which one do I have to select?

Yes, I did that, after that only it shows this.
I am about to cry, it's been 14 months trying to get those files. Every time, I get too close and then bam! back to square one. Can't access those userdata***.backup files, can't access the phone, as soon as it starts, it gets stuck in a reboot loop, can't flash TWRP because not able to download the file. You have no idea how painful this is. Still thanks a lot, you helped me a lot, but I guess it's a lost cause now. Earlier lost the person, now lost the memories. Thanks anyways

CSC Change: Model R845U -> Model R845F

Firstly, thanks to a lot of help from @Nmc_alves® @adfree @[email protected] and @technoproz (Link here). As well, most, if not all, of the files are provided by these guys & a big shoutout to them!
Purpose of this post is to put the information all into one for SM-R845 and other things that I've come across that may help others too.
Converting from R845U to R845F [using sample scenario: R845U XAR (US) to R845F ITV (Italy)]
Prepare by downloading the following files:
Wifi NetOdin - (Click here - uploaded by Adfree)
COMBINATION-FT55_R845USQU1ATL2_clean_v1.zip (Click here - uploaded by kebez)
R845FXXU1CTJ5_Tizen_4File_CSC (OXA).zip (Click here - uploaded by kebez)
SDB tools (Click here - uploaded by Adfree)
Prepare Watch
1. Switch to Connect Wifi, always on (just in case),
2. Software -> Software Version. Press multiple times to turn on Developer Mode.
3. Turn on Debugging Mode.
4. Hold Back & Power button until you see the Reboot Mode. Use power button to scroll to Download (Wireless), and hold power button to select.
5. In wireless download mode, double press the power button to change the mode to act as a hotspot.
PC
6. Open NetOdin
7. On PC, connect Wifi to SM-R845. NetOdin should turn green.
8. Under AP, place the combination firmware. Once completed, give it time for the watch to set up.
Watch
9. Go to Connections, Wifi, and select Always On. Connect to same wifi network as your PC.
10. Note down your IP Address: 192.168.Y.Z
11. Reboot your watch to make sure it is connected to same wifi network.
PC
12. Unzip SDB tools and run version based on your PC.
13. Go to Data/Tools and open ansicon.exe
14. Type the following to pull files:
a. sdb connect 192.168.Y.Z​b. sdb root on​c. sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf​d. sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat​15. You should see 2 files in the same folder: csc-active-customer & prodcode. Open these 2 files using notepad, make the following edits and save:
a. In the csc-active-customer file, change XAR to ITV​b. In the prodcode file, change SM-R845UZKAXAR to SM-R845FZSAITV​16. Type the following to push files back in:
a. sdb push csc-active-customer.inf /csa/csc/​b. sdb push prodcode.dat /csa/imei/​
Watch
17. Go to Reboot Mode again. Select Download (Wireless). Double press to go to AP mode.
PC
18. Open NetOdin.
19. Connect Wifi to watch (SM-R845F-xxx). NetOdin will turn green once again.
20. Extract the original firmware R845FXXU1CTJ5_Tizen_4File_CSC (OXA).zip. Files are labelled so place into BL, AP, CSC accordingly. CP is the modem (I placed added it in for completeness so that the entire 4 sets are of the same firmware but will still work even if you do not flash it) Double check, and then flash away.

Q&A
1. How do you figure out what firmware to choose for your region?
Use the link as a starting reference
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R845F/ITV/doc.html
a. use either R845U or R845F
b. type in your region code.
If the combination is correct, you will see build information and firmware pertaining to your intended region.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. So now that I know which firmware to target, is it 100% certain that by flashing that firmware, I will be able to switch to that region?
Not true.
In the case of TGY, there was build information provided (https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R845F/TGY/doc.html).
I would assume going thru all the steps above with TGY and flashing the upload firmware CTJ5 would yield my intended goal. It was not true. You need to actually download the firmware itself, use .7z to open the csc.img (see below).
What this means is that although TGY has a firmware version CTJ5, the uploaded package provided does not have that region!! Download and inspect the file yourself. If you did proceed with the combination/sdb/flash, you just won't have the region you want no matter what you typed in for the .inf & .dat files.
3. Now that I've flashed from R845U to R845F, I want to go back to R845U. Which combination file do I use?
I used the R845F combination file provided by @Nmc_alves and failed at the very end (not sure why). Scared the crap out of me as the Samsung logo appeared and the software was stuck. Don't panic and reboot back to wireless download mode. I used the original R845U combination file and was successful. I cannot explain why but what I did that worked.
4. I have CSC Region A installed and I want to switch to CSC Region B, do I need to go thru the combination file or can I just start from the steps involving SDB pull/push?
I went through the beginning with the combination file. Of course, if your firmware has both Region A & B, then all you need to do is do a reset (eg. CTJ5, going from Italy to Sweden).
5. Now that I've flashed R845F CTJ5 firmware, why am I not able to update it?
Good question. I don't know. I went thru from R845U BTK2 ->R845F CTJ (SWE) -> R45F BTH4 (XSA) by flashing only BL, AP, CSC and wasn't able to push for FOTA. I even used NetOdin and flashed in CP for BTH4 (XSA) and still wasn't able to push. My mistake could have been flashing from CTJ5 to BTH4 using NetOdin directly.
I reflashed the combination file, sdb command, picked the intended firmware and flashed BL, AP, CSC and CP. Got the FOTA notification and updating to DUC2 as we speak.
6. Can you manually update firmware? Also, rather than waiting for FOTA update, can I flash to a higher firmware version.
You can. Have to make sure it is available and double check the CSC file for the region just to be safe.

Reserve

Hi, I have a watch 3 R855U but can't find COMBINATION file, can you give me this file. Thank you so much, brother

I haven't seen anyone posted it.
Easy firmware has it but payment required.

thanks for your reply. I have paid and downloaded it, but when the step 6 is finished, the device reboots continuously, it seems it's not customized

?
Can you give more details?
A
Maybe you took old Firmware and now you are in Security Trap... because f&5ing Rollback Prevention blabla...
Latest leak I can see is:
COMBINATION-FT55_R855USQU1AUA3.tar.md5
B
In Firmware packages for LTE is additional folder with additional file... this makes trouble in old neOdin...
netOdin is meanwile 4 or 5 years old...
And only 1 Version leaked...
Code:
meta-data -->crap folder
1.mf ------->crap file
This is why I remove this folder from TAR files...

Can someone confirm if changing CSC to Italy will enable ecg, blood pressure and samsung pay?

I basically took the file you provided.
Used .7z to extract all the files and folders within
Deleted Meta-data folder (with 1.mf file contained within)
Repackaged everything back to .tar
You can download and compare the file and your original file to double-confirm that only meta-data folder was removed.

If your watch came with the box (and have yet to update the firmware), the firmware should be listed on the back of the box as well.

How To Guide [GUIDE][UNBRICK] Realme 8i/Narzo 50 Unbrick Free without Auth [RMX3151][RMX3286]

Hello everyone! So after the new mediatek DAA and SLA protection bypasses you can find github repo of here , using the bypass we are able to use SPFlash Tool, here is a guide how you can do it! This guide is for RMX3151 (Realme 8i) and RMX3286 (Narzo 50) ONLY. DON'T DO ANY OF THESE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE!
ALWAYS USE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE OF SP FLASH TOOL.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING RELATED TO FORMAT ON SP FLASH TOOL! (IT'S WRITTEN EVERYWHERE, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR IMEIS IF YOU USE FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD. YOU ARE SAFE IF YOU USE DOWNLOAD ONLY.)
Windows Method
Requirements:
Bypass Tools Pack - (DRIVER AND BYPASS FILES)
SP Flash Tool
Decrypted OFP (OPPO FIRMWARE PACKAGE) Files:
FULL FIRMWARE - INCLUDES THE "USERDATA" PARTITION, HENCE LARGER.
A.32 (Indian) - Mega | GDrive
A.32 (Global) - Mega | GDrive
A.30 (Indian) - Mega | GDrive
These firmwares are from Realme 8i but will work for Narzo 50 also (I will add Narzo 50 firmwares soon)
Install Python from Windows Store
libusb-win32 - Having Issues? Use this.
Get usbdk installer (.msi) from here and install it
1) Extract the zip
2) Go to driver folder, find the .inf file right click and press install.

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3)Download this file and install it, after installing power off phone and connect to pc while holding Vol+- (don't leave the buttons after connecting) . You might need this driver as well if it's not detected.
Press next, connect your device to PC while holding Vol+- buttons (your device needs to be powered off, and don't leave the buttons) and you will see the mtkdriver down below. Install it.
Choose MediaTek USB Port and install it.
4)Then run the brom.bat under Bypass folder.
5) Now power off the phone and connect the phone while holding volume + and - (Don't leave the buttons until the bypass is done)
6)After the above step Go into Flash Tool folder and open the SPFlash tool go to Options>Option
Click on Connections and select UART and set Baud Rate to 921600
7) after that choose scatter file and also if not set, set your download-agent. You don't need to select auth file as authorization is disabled. Once you do it, it should look like this. ALWAYS MAKE SURE DOWNLOAD ONLY MODE IS SELECTED! DON'T SELECT OTHER MODES!
Make SURE "Download Only" is selected. Don't select ANYTHING ELSE! You will lose your IMEIs, Serial Numbers, Capability of Hardware Attestation etc. if you choose "Format data + Download" make SURE you selected "Download Only".
8) Uncheck oplusreserve2 first. Now, you can start downloading with the button and after that a checkmark will appear. You can reboot your phone and use it like before now! All your userdata will (inevitably) be cleared!
After flashing it should look like this. Download has been complete. Enjoy!
Notes :
After this phone might not boot due to encryption, you can do any of the below procedures to format your data and boot your phone
1. In case you can access recovery by holding volume and power button - Wipe all data from recovery and reboot
2. In case you cannot access recovery, power off phone then enter this command in mtkclient :
Code:
python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc
and connect phone while holding both volume buttons. After this just reboot phone
Also note that first boot takes some time, so don't panic leave it for few minutes it'll boot

If you face any issues contact me here

great.. does this lock bootloader?? and will SafetyNet pass after this??

It doesn't work.Returns an error.

Why do you have another phone identified in the last screenshot.?And when the firmware reaches the file oplusreserve2.img gives an error that I posted yesterday?Take a look at the screenshot above.

And this is not a firmware, it takes a minute.Does not flash the super partition.You can just flash the stock files to recover and THAT's IT.

The last screenshot is for representative purpose only... No one have actually bricked yet so... The guide is pretty generalized for any mtk... If you have followed the guide properly it should work... Let me upload A32 firmware here try that.

I updated the link with latest sp flash tool... Try with that

Question Hardbrick no recovery or fastboot

Forgot how it got to this point, i think i flashed wrong boot.img or something, but my device just reboots constantly on the redmi sign. Tried following the guides on here but i got lost at some point. I've installed the driver filter and done the mtk bypass thing, but I'm confused on where i should go from here?

first of all, install MTK preloader/brom vcom drivers for your PC be able to detect your phone in BROM mode (attached below)
install MiFlashPro, you will need it to fill the Download-Agent in sp tool so you can write the boot images to recover your phone.
then, use the miui ROM that you used before bricking it, or download it from any website (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
now open sp tool from MiFlashPro.
now you will need to fill out 3 spaces:
download-agent (DA for short), scatter-loading file & authentication file.
DA is to have access to the devices internal storage, scatter-loading shows you the mapping of the partitions it will flash on the mtk & authentication is just MTK protection for newer mtk devices that you need to be able to flash (its also used to successfully flash, but you still need to bypass it somehow, as you require a Mi Account able to do BROM flashing, see below as you follow the thread)
to find the DA, it is always in the MiFlashPro installation location, so ...\MiFlashPro\. Access that folder, open up "\SP_Flash_Tool_V5" folder, and you will find a file named "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin", use it as the DA.
to find the authentication file, its located in the same path of the DA, so ...\MiFlashPro\SP_Flash_Tool_V5\, and you will find a file named "auth_sv5.auth", use it as the authentication file.
finally, to find the scatter-loading file, it is in the rom folder you extracted, so ...\camellian_xx_xxxx_images_VXX.X.X.X.xxxxx_XXXXXXXX.XXXX.XX_XX.X_xxxxxl\ (the X's represent your MIUI version you downloaded). the scatter-loading file is always located in the folder "images", so \camellian...\images\, and you will find a text file named "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt", use it as the scatter-loading file.
Now, you need to edit the "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt", or else when you use to flash you will get this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open it (located at your MIUI ROM folder at \images), then use the locate tool to find "combo_partsize_check: true". You will probably find a few lines set as true, just replace every one with false (if it doesnt find it, just put "combo_partsize_check", but you will waste more time finding those that are set to true)
Alright, we finished our sp tool settings. now we have to bypass MTK Auth protection.
(Dont close sp tool yet!)
Ive annexed the tool below (mtkauthbypass.zip), download it and extract it.
It looks like this:
After you are ready, press the "Disable Auth" button, get your hands on the phone and press at the same time the VOL+, VOL- & POWER button, till you see prompts appearing in the blank (i dont have a screenshot to show how it looks like, sorry)
after it bypasses, go to sp tool and click download immediately, then your device should come to life.
if it didnt work, i recommend selecting every mapping excluding your data, or do a full reflash if you wish or as last resort
