General Mobile 4G PhilZ Recovery - Android One (Second-Generation) General

Hello guys, today i have ported PhilZ recovery to General Mobile 4G which is an Android One Second Generation Phone. And i would like to share that with you on xda because after i flashed custom recovery there was an OTA update and unfortunately the custom recovery tried to install that OTA and before i backup stock rom it has bricked my General Mobile 4G. Now i need stock rom via other people's help. After that we will have stock rom and we can try to compile CM and other kinds of ROMs. So if anybody wants to help please pm me.
And if someone wants to use the PhilZ recovery:

sad to hear that I do hope you resolve your problem right away btw sorry I don't have the 2nd gen device yet so I can't test your recovery

Today i went to a shop and borrowed a General Mobile 4G and at home backed it up and flashed it to my phone and it was successful. It went so smooth now I have recovered my phone.

Hi Sadronis, Glad you got your phone successfully restored, This is jan 17 -2016, but I just read your thread , My problem is getting any custom recovery to install,,My phone is Cherry Mobile H220 (2nd gen), but after much playing about with it, it now works on IQii (thai version), ,On switching on , it shows the original G1 motto on screen,but in everything else in settings it shows it as IQii, Its now updated to latest upgrade (mmb28O), everything seems to be working as far as I can tell, but I just cant seem to get twrp into phone,, In device manager it shows that adb is working,, In portable devices in device manager, it says model H220, , so I think that part of windows operation is working ok, (drivers etc),,. I would like to install Philz recovery into phone, , I tried your link in first post, but link seems dead, ,Can you direct me to where I can download that version, that you used in General Mobile G4 ?, Hope You can help me in my search, Thank you Sir.

[Q] Bricked NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab

Ok here goes... This is my first thread post here but I am in serious need of help.
I have searched and searched the forums for a hopeful answer but I have found it difficult to find the answer I seek.
So here is the story:
Bought a GT second hand from Akihabara in Japan which was locked to NTT DoCoMo. I was using it as a WIFI only Tab and all was wonderful till my IT brain decided it could be better and I began to tinker.
I had been looking around for a way to make my Australian Virgin Mobile SIM to work on the tab and found a lot of good answers but nothing that would make it work.
I then had the brilliant idea to change the firmware with a European firmware so I could get all the features enabled from a fresh start. Which is where it all went wrong.
I first tried to flash the tab using Odin 1.7 with the P1000XXJK5 euro firmware from samfirmware.com
This failed and left my tab with the picture of a phone and a pc with a dotted line and in between them an exclamation point in a triangle.
After a lot of fiddling (I dont remember what I did but I managed to get rid of that screen had something to do with retrying the flash and it was very late last night at this point) I managed to try again but Odin just kept failing on running the updated firmware.
I then decided that it would be a good idea to run the Rotohammer firmware by following the instructions on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827&highlight=sc-01c
This is where I once again received errors from Odin and now my tab is somewhat bricked.
I tried reflashing but same errors every time. (I currently dont have the errors from Odin but I will update my post when I get home)
I can still get to the downloading screen (Yellow triangle with the Android digging) so I am hopeful all is not lost.
So now you have heard my sob story I will ask two questions....
1. Has anyone actually successfully flashed a Japanese model Tab?
2. My only thought/hope at the moment can anyone direct me to an original NTT DoCoMo firmware so I can at least go back to having WIFI only Tab?
Thanks in advance if you can help
Alex
Yes , i suggest you to wait until you get a right firmware for it !
That would probably work if the partitions are a match !
What is this model called btw ?
"NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab" or there is any model ? such as M180 for korean , P1000 , P100 Sprint , I800 Verizon , etc..

Oz the model is SC-01C it has a build date of 2010/12
I was thinking considering I can get into the build/download screen maybe trying an emergency firmware recovery using Kies.
Hi,
I'm a fellow SC01 owner. You can get a backup of the stock firmware here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OJAK2UZF
Firmware code is SC01COMJK2
I believe there are newer firmwares (which I haven't installed as some of them contain a new bootloader that only allows for signed firmwares, same as the international units) that I have seen mentioned on various Japanese blogs. Let me know if you want me to try to hunt any down for you.
As for my SC01, I installed the custom kernel by koxudaxi and it's working great. Mind you, I've only changed to this kernel and apart from that am running the stock OS. I got his kernel here which can overclock to 1.4GHz: http://koxudaxi.sakura.ne.jp/
The kernel I installed via Heindall is zImage_ntt_2. It looks like he's built a newer version though, I might check that out. I think what you might want to do, is in download mode try to restore the above backup to your unit. Look up the Roto Backup thread to see how to do this. Hopefully since you can get download mode, all is not lost. I personally think it's quite crummy that there are different hardware versions like this which aren't interchangeable though >_<
I'm going to give the original firmware a go today at lunch time and I will let you know how I go. Thanks anyways for the link if all goes well I'll look at possibly trying the the koxudaxi kernel.
UPDATE: Well I'm not having luck getting the firmware to flash to my tab I keep getting "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" when trying to flash. I will keep plugging away.
UPDATE: Still getting the same problems using heimdall to flash the tab. Any suggestions as to what I could do next?
Recovering a Docomo Tab
I'm currently running Overcome v1.1.3 ROM and richardtrip's V15 kernel on my SC-01C.

You're getting this error from Heimdall, right? Have you tried Odin 1.7?
Here's how I recovered my Tab using Odin:
1. Following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827, specify the P1_add_hidden.pit in the PIT button and select Re-Partition.
2. Specify the stock Docomo ROM when pressing the PDA button.
3. Ignore the Phone and CSC buttons, as the stock ROM already contain these items.
You should be able to restore your Tab to stock settings using this procedure.
If this doesn't work, you might want to check if the USB connection to your PC is ok, and if everything necessary to run Odin is installed on your PC.
Bugger!
Well thanks for your help all of you but I think I have just made matters worse.
Last night I had success in flashing the original docomo firmware provided to me by zetsurin but I think I shouldn't have included the boot images.
Unfortunately I think it is completely bricked now it now wont turn on and when plugged into power (thinking that the battery had died) it just comes up with a white screen.
I can't boot into download mode and I can hold down the power button till I turn blue in the face... So as Bones would say "It's dead Jim"
Unless any of you have anything else I could try as a last ditch shot I might just have to ship it back to Japan and get them to fix it or maybe try Samsung here in Oz.
Serves me right
Thanks again.

What exactly happened?
The SC01COMJK2 firmware does not contain protected bootloaders, by the way.

I've heard about this happening when the battery runs out. Try connecting the Tab to your PC (not your AC adapter) and let it trickle-charge for an hour or so. If successful, you should see the download screen.
fury1sog unfortunately that didnt work
spoke to the samsung repairers here in Aus and they said they can take a look at it for me hopefully bring life back into my unit and then I will never touch it again
Any thoughts?
Hopefully this post is still being looked at but has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do before I fork out $374 to my tab repaired by Samsung Australia?
According to the repair guys its a faulty board (not an idiot that tried to flash it) and needs to be replaced. Not sure if this is worth my trouble considering I could buy a brand new tab for $599.
There is a positive out of this, the MB will be an Australian MB and I will have a working "Australian" tab instead of the Japanese version.
Considering the unfortunate tragedy in Japan I am not sure I should try and get my friend in Japan to fix it for me.
Thoughts anyone?
I know someone who can unlock it, I have mine unlocked by them.
I was afraid of flashing it myself so I paid to have it unlocked, cost was $20.
I think you better go for the MB replacement, it's cheaper.
For what it's worth, I went to reset my tab to factory using a rotohammer backup I made when I first bought it, and got stuck in a boot loop. So I then used ODIN. Still got a boot loop. Then I tried ODIN repartition... it hung for hours. Knowing the thing was likely bricked I pulled the plug and now I am in the situation as you: I have a crappy icon of a phone + an exclamation + computer image. Dead.
I think the best thing I can do for this junk is to toss it unceremoniously in the bin. Fortunately I also have an iPad which has resumed full-time service.
EDIT: Some signs of hope in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903257
Try "heimdall close-pc-screen" to see if your tab can get kicked back into the boot loop at least. Mine has failed a repartition, but I can still get it into the boot loop, which is a start. Will experiment over the weekend.
EDIT 2: Well my tab is back up and runing. I reflashed my original roto backup using ODIN with repartition on, then I went into recovery and did a factory restore. Back up like stock now. I think I'm going to sell it though, since it's been badly dis-owned by Samsung.

What ROM is best for a SC-01C?
Hi Guys
I picked up a 2nd hand SC-01C from Yahoo Auction, and am wondering what the best ROM to use with it is...
Looks like this guy has got an Overcome ROM on it OK, (http://chaki-ramone.blogspot.com/2011/06/galaxytabsc-01cgingerbreadromovercome.html), so I wonder if the latest version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990) will work OK - anyone tried? (is the SC-01C a GSM-based model??)
I'm not going to use a SIM with it, so I'm not bothered about unlocking - but just want it rooted & want a good balance between speed & battery life. If you were going from scratch with an SC-01C, what would you do? Any suggestions greatfully received!
Thanks in advance?
PS - I'm an iPhone / iPad / Ideos 8150 / Notion Ink Adam owner, all jailbroken / rooted. So I'm not scared about rooting per-se, just worried about trying something that will not work because of anything docomo has done to the Tab!
Acont you could be coma bricked try pluginging it into THE MAINS for at least 4 hours if nothing come up your hard bricked.

[Q] Can I flash recovery and roms from the phone?

Hello everyone. I have a question. Can I flash the recovery image (whether CWM or anything else) and also the Roms from within the phone without using a PC.
The problem is I don't have access to a PC (all my laptop usb connections got fried) and I have an HTC Hero. I just download whatever I want to the SD card and flash it without the need for a PC. I wonder if that is possible?
I got T-mobile Tab a couple of days ago. I rooted it and I got Rom Manager. But after I reboot in recovery, I get the verification error.
So, can I do this without the so-called Odin or Heimdall?
Thanks in advance...
if you got the CWM work on your tab so probably yes u can do so , u just need to download the rom and read the discretion given by the dev and flash it via cwm
but
there is always a need of odin , in case u stuck or something ,
and also its depend about the dev is made it to be flashed by odin or cwm .
out of topic : how is egypt , really do miss it
Thanks a lot for your answer. And it is great to find someone else misses Egypt besides myself. I guess everything there is a mess now and I'm going to check it out by the end of the month.

*URGENT* Huge Problem with my S3 Mini

Hey XDA guys,
I've got an I8190N
I've got a pretty big problems and I need the help of your big brains.
Well a long time ago (17th September 2013) I posted a thread about a problem with my phone, when I booted up, it had this screen:
*Image should either be here or in the attached thumbnails*
So about 3 weeks ago from today I was trying to install a new CM11 ROM update from Maclaw but after I put the zip on my sd card and booted into TWRP recovery (2.6.3.0, just in case it needs mentioning), the phone shut off in the middle of the installation, I thought it was just the usual bugs I get whilst flashing ROMs so I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on.
After a couple of attempts I finally realised that it's able to go into download mode only, I think that means it's soft-bricked right?
So I kept trying to re-install the stock ROM (unroot, unbrick etc) through odin but it kept failing.
I sent the phone to repairs and they wouldn't repair it (because it's rooted obviously, I thought maybe they wouldn't know but of course they did).
I obviously can't get a replacement and start over again because the warranty is void now that I've rooted it
So now they've sent it back and it's currently a paper weight that can go into download mode and refuses to install stock ROMs through Odin.
What do I do? I really need help guys (I don't need to worry about backups because I always backup)
Please answer soon, otherwise I'll be without a phone and my phone company will keep charging me for my contract eventhough I'm not using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help given

I believe that kies has emergency firmware that you can use to revive your phone? Try that. What does it say when it fails in odin?
hello,
so you can still go into download modus?
try the latest recovery (2.7 if i'm correct...) and flash with odin.
then try to boot into recovery and reflash the latest mclaw (or any other) non stock firmware.
think about it that you have to unzip the odin firmware package you download from maclaws site ( i forgot it and got messing around 2hours ago.... also staring at the erro in odin and thinking W*F is happening :cyclops: but then i realized i need to unzip the package...
realy good luck.....
Hi
Odin flash pit file
It just says the big black FAIL in the red background where it's supposed to be PASS in the green background
Could you guys give me download links to the PIT files, TWRP and the firmwares so I could get the right ones please?
Thanks
LOOK HERE
(i8190_goldenxx.zip) is the pitfile for I8190 only and i8190N_goldenxx.zip for I8190N version
BUT: these are NO flashable files - extract them and choose xxx.pit in Odin.

Could you give me a link to the pit file please
Do you have a link to the firmware I should use because tys0n gave me one before which was the service firmware (like 1.29gb) but it wouldn't work for this problem

HTC Desire 626 Bricked, need help.

Hi there eveyone, thank you for reading this.
a friend of mine has an HTC Desire OPM1100 D626ph (says on the back of the phone)
when he tries to update to the newer version (the official way) He faces an error, the phone restarts and its stuck now on an endless loop. the options he had was htc recovery menu. he has tried all the options there in hope of fixing the problem.(he doesn't know english) and he probably ruined everything. now the phone doesn't have a back up, nothing works. ADB wasn't turned on in the begining. no fast boot. the only options i think i have is to download a rom via sdcard.(not even sure if it's external)
these are the options on the menu:
reboot system now:
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe /data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
any help on this would be appreciated, any ideas what should be my next step? i have history of using fastboot/adb. i don't know which rom i should download and from where? htc website confused me and the onlyy thread i found on the internet was this one and there are several links on there. not sure which one should i use?
thanks again guys.
Which carrier is he on? Also, we would need to know if it's a 626, 626s, 626x, 626g, etc... Not sure which model it is from the info posted above. If it's a 626s, the only way to recover is if it's a T-Mobile 626s (no other versions have an RUU to restore it to stock).

thank you for your response
it's an HTC Desire 626G+ (dual sim) and the carrier is "Telecommunication Company of Iran"
Hmm - I would have him contact his carrier and see if they have an "RUU" available for that phone. An "RUU" is Windows application that will reset the phone back to the way it came from the factory - and can typically restore any phone - unless it has a hardware issue.
Otherwise, let's see if anyone else has any input (I'm not familiar with the 626g myself).
Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

i don't think the carrier would help out with this. though it made me think he didn't do anything wrong so do you think that warranty will accept the phone?
The carrier are the ones that need to supply the RUU (either directly or via HTC), which I why I mentioned that he should contact the carrier.
I would agree that it's a warranty issue if he we just trying to install an OTA update and it caused all of this...

i have same problem with D626ph. I was rooted phone with kingroot after this try to update with ota and result was error and phone boot only to recovery menu
Ahhh - yeah, if you are rooted (and unlocked bootloader), you cannot apply OTA updates. Although, usually, they fail right away and you can just boot right back into the phone normally (without the update, obviously). It's kinda strange that the OTA is bricking the phone like that.

Your link requires an decryption key.
pl provide key. facing the same problem with htc 626g+. Updated via official OTA. Sad that they rolled it without thoroughly testing it.
Have you guys contacted HTC and/or the carrier? They should resolve this issue for you (via an RUU or some other means)!

Hi there eveyone, thank you for reading this.
a friend of mine has an HTC Desire OPM1100 D626ph (says on the back of the phone)
when he tries to update to the newer version (the official way) He faces an error, the phone restarts and its stuck now on an endless loop. the options he had was htc recovery menu. he has tried all the options there in hope of fixing the problem.(he doesn't know english) and he probably ruined everything. now the phone doesn't have a back up, nothing works. ADB wasn't turned on in the begining. no fast boot. the only options i think i have is to download a rom via sdcard.(not even sure if it's external)
these are the options on the menu:
reboot system now:
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe /data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
any help on this would be appreciated, any ideas what should be my next step? i have history of using fastboot/adb. i don't know which rom i should download and from where? htc website confused me and the onlyy thread i found on the internet was this one and there are several links on there. not sure which one should i use?
thanks again guys.

Check this out, hope it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/fix-htc-desire-626g-update-command-t3243510
Guys thank you for your replies. I'm kinda new to xda forum. Should i reply one by one and quote people's names or just reply in one comment? Are there any rules?
About the post, it's weird that many people are experiencing the same problem! And where i live phone carriers don't care about phone problems and it's the first time I'm hearing that i should contact my carrier for my bricked device. But things are differently in different countries ?? to @tpr0 i might try your solution when i get my hands on the device againand if no one provides a better suggestion. Because i gave it back to my friend and told him to try the warranty. After a day turned out he has bought the device without a warranty! They sell phones without warranty in iran for a cheaper price. I think it's worth paying 50 more dollars for a 1-2 years warranty. Anyway I'll let you guys know as soon my friend returns his phone (which will be pretty soon I'm guessing. Meanwhile ill wait if anyone has a link for the ROM or a solution.

If you're using a phone from Iran I think you have bigger things to worry about.

Unable to install any firmware, can't even downgrade [zenfone 4]

Hi there,
Couple of days back I rooted my Zenfone 4 a400cg, all went fine, the phone was working fine. But After a reboot, it stuck on asus logo. Tried to hard reset, but didnt happen. for the worst part, I dont have any back ups. I went mad and tried to install a ".raw" file.
But the droidboot and recovery didnt recognize it. then i went ahead and downloaded firmware for a400cg "UL-ASUS_T00I-WW-7.4.4.0-user.zip" bt while flashing the recovery said "android version too old status 7". then I tried to flash the downgrade able version "UL-ASUS_T00I-WW-9.9.9.0-user.zip" , bt the recovery gave some error of status 6. I formatted the /system and / data from recovery, so i dont have any firmware atm.
The only things I Have now is droidboot and recovery.
What to do now???
Help
P.S. my zenfone 4 was running on lollipop and the droidboot screen says IMAGE VERSION : 7.4.4.0
since this forum don't have active pro devs, I suggest you to bring your device to Asus Service Center in your region or you can going ask to zentalk forum about this problem. I'm sure on that forum there are many active users and devs
