[Q] Cant downgrade to original kitkat firmware from Lollipop topic

Hi folks, I have recently updated my Note 3 SM-N9005 from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop using the BL, CSC, CP AND PIT Files. But I didnt like Lollipop, lots of bug like no NFC, alarm doesnt work with flip cover, gps issue, etc.. So flasked original firmware (O2 Germany) with odin 9 but no luck. After successful installation my Note 3 just stuck at Galaxy Note 3 screen. Even tried factory reset, wipe data not still stuck at the welcome screen. Is there a way to install kitkat original firmware?

{Q}How to flash firmware via ODIN? topic

I was trying to root my sisters S3 i9300, until the Auto Rooting App i used, didn't work and changed the kernel(without root access available :mad:) and now whenever i try other rooting apps it doesn't work. I think its because of the kernel change it wont let me root. So someone told me to "Get back a stable system by flashing latest firmware by Odin. If it boots normally, use cf-auto-root (by Odin, too). ".

I got ODIN 3.10.6.
Problem:How to flash latest stock S3 i9300 firmware(link would be appreciated) by ODIN?
How to then use CF Auto Root, to root my device?
A video or clearly detailed written tut would be awesome :)

I know is quite noobish question;) but YOLO?

[Q] LG G2 stuck in Firmware Update Screen (+loop) topic

Hello Guys!

My Problem (I've looked for about 2 hours in the forum, but can't find anything similar to my situation):

Got my new LG G2 (D802, 32GB, Android 4.4.2) today. I wanted CyanogenMod on it, so i unlocked it, etc...

But as i have installed in recovery mode, and after that i always got stuck at the CM 10.2-Boot screen i decided to install the stock android back onto it.

i went into download mode, choose the right .kdz-file and tried to flash it with LG Flash tool 2014.

But it got stuck there at 20%. My current situation: I can't get out of the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade and 0%, und below is "B75" and "rooted". When i press the power button for some seconds the screen gets black, then the LG logo appears and immediately the Firmware-upgrade-screen appears, again with "0%" and "B75" and "rooted".
I also can't get into recovery mode: When it push volume down and power butten, and it asks me to do a factory hard reset and i press the power button to confirm (when normally then the recovery mode menu appears) it changes automatically again to the Firmware-upgrade-screen.



Thanks in advance, hope you can help!

[Q] Need help for bricked Razr i / firmware links topic

Hello Forum,

as a newbie in Razr i I tried today to unblock my Bootloader and of course made an error during this:(
I downloaded the file "RAZRi_Root_Linux.zip" from user "mattlgrof".
Unpacked it and run the file "Root.sh".... yes I know. I have read the HowTo, but ...I don't know what I thought!?
And of course the shell said reboot and the phone stuck on the red Motorola logo :)
Looking into the file, I saw that the last command executed was:
"sudo $fastboot flash boot ./files/razr_i_boot_insecured.img"
And the output was:
"< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (11264 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.657s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Preflash validation failed)
finished. total time: 2.021s
rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.240s
Phone is rebooting please dont touch anything."

As I have read until know I could restore the phone by installing a astock firmware via RSD, right?
But in the last 5! hours I couldn't find a valid link for a firmware download. :(
So my question/request are:
- Can I solve this by installing a stock ROM via RSD?
- Can someone provide me an link to a firmware download?
The specs of my phone:
- European ( germany), unbranded
- OTA update to JB 4.1.2
- previously rooted with windows using a "android trick", I don't exactl remember how :)

If you need more information, please ask.
Thank you in advance, and have a nice day.
Kind regards.

Looking for firmware zip to flash for CM12 topic

Hello all,

I've been looking for the firmware zip and I couldn't find anything I could use in order to be able to flash CM12. The few files I could find were ones that kept returning "signature verify fail." I'm on the HTC One M8 Developer Edition.

Help is appreciated.

WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on on any kernel and firmware (stock / custom) topic

Hello,

today I was working with my Xperia Z (C6603) and flashed a CM12 build. After having some problems with TWRP, I solved it in the end an TWRP and CM12 were working fine. But WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on anymore. When I press "turn on" it takes some time and then the switch turns off again. A MAC address is not shown anymore. I tried to flash stock firmware with Flashtool, but didn't change anything.

Can someone help me to solve this? Is my phone partially bricked?

Thanks a lot!

[Q] Should I update Firmware? topic

So, I've just started to set up my new AFTV - F'ware version 51.1.0.1 user 510055620
and I've blocked updates with my Router. I'm DEFINITELY not a Techee, and only just managed to install Kodi.
I'm running a VPN to access Netflix from Australia, but haven't yet managed to sideload Netflix ( i've previously had it running on Apple TV) I've sideloaded Kodi Helix 14.0 . I don't anticipate needing to root, and doubt if I could handle the learning curve anyway.
My questions:-
(1) Should I update Firmware and thus forego the ability to root, (which I don't anticipate ever needing to do) or, should I keep running with the old Firmware? If not, what advantages would the newer Firmware provide?
At this early stage, I anticipate only needing Kodi & Netflix.

(2) If I stay with old Firmware (51.1.0.1), what version of Netflix should I sideload?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-610-att/news/

Here is an update I found .it's Still android 4.4.2. All that is know is it says bug fixes on the provided link for download . I flashed through fastboot just now . Works find . There's two variants for download . One for pre paid and one for post paid. I have a contract so I used post paid.

I just wanted to post this for all to dig into and also as through hitting check for updates on my phone ,this update did not show up .I found it manually online .

I've developed some roms in the past for the atrix 2 . I am quite possibly going to be diving in once again as its been a year since I stopped for the a2. And currently this phone needs some development going on .

[Q] Downloading Custom ROMs or Firmware in a Peer to Peer fashion? topic

I was trying to find a stock firmware for my device, which I found, but then I was thinking.

Wouldn't it be easier if there was a 'piratebay' for everything Android? What I mean is, rather than downloading say a custom rom from a central server. wouldn't it be cheaper and faster to download in a peer to peer fashion?

I was also thinking that there needs to be a central repository for all custom roms and firmwares. Otherwise, it hard to find what you need. At least in terms of stock firmwares.

Has it been done?

[q] lg g2 d801 t mobile imei number wiped (reads imei: 0) after flashing firmware topic

I found several related threads. But none seemed to have the answer I needed. I do not have an EFS backup. The last thread I tried used QPST. Did everything to about step #39 of maybe 42. "Copy line 550 and select Write to Phone", I think this was in NV_Manager (sorry, not at home). Copy line 550 containing IMEI info. Line 550 did not exist on my phone. The line numbers went up to about 46?? My question is... If the entire entry is gone from my G2 (no line 550 at all), how can I reenter it? I do have the original IMEI number. Or please steer me to the correct thread???
I have been 3 weeks without my phone. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

[Q] Samsung Tab 3 8.0 SM-T310 firmware topic

Hi,

I work for a large electrical retailer and when new models come out they allow us to buy the demo units from the previous model at a reduced rate. (I'm more than happy to SS a receipt to prove the unit isn't stolen etc)

Normally I just disable the demo mode and reflash with a stock firmware that I get from samsmobile, however samsmobile seems to be having issues and the firmware gets to around 60% then interrupts and upon restarting says immediately that it is finished, of course its only got around 800mb of a 1.3gb dl. I have tried serveral times over the course of the past few weeks and from different locations but same thing happens.

I can't post in samsmobile forums as I'm not a premium member so don't have the permissions. Is there anywhere else I can get the official firmware?

Kind Regards
