Hi All,
These are my mobile details previously :
Mobile details: Samsung Captivate
ROM:FROYO.UCJI6
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
BASEBAND VERSION:I897UCJI6
FIRMWARE VERSION:2.2
nUMBER OF aPPS: 46
I am new to the ROM world and this is my first time.
So i strictly followed the tutorial in this link on "[HowTo W/Pack] Flash Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE Updated (again) 4/25/11"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
Which says :
1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)
2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.
3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2
4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)
5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot). Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone. then power off the phone once again. this time hold down "Volume Up and Power" as soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see CWM.
8. at this point you should be in CWM (Woot!). navigate to flash zip from SD and then navigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" and flash "Enable CRT Lock.zip" and "update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip" and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.
9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!
10. If you want to root read the txt file i included for rooting!
I was able to install the ROM till the 7th step,but from there iam not able to apply the fixes and modems.
Once i press the volume up and power button its taking me to Andriod system recovery <3e> mode:
I have four options here:
1)reboot
2)update from sd card
3)wipe data card / factory reset
4)wipe cache parition
when i choose update from sd card by pressing power button,nothing is happing.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Another issue iam facing is when i make call installing this rom my normal speaker under the at &T logo is not working,i have to switch on the speaker to talk to anyone, and thereturn key is also not working.
Best Regards,
Chandu.
I gt it resolved after installing the correct rom

Hello guys,
My P7 are VERY SLOW, with lots of lag and I want to throw it against the wall..
My current version is P7-L10V100R001C00B135. Please, PLEASE, Help me to update this potato!
Many thanks!
Be careful...
1) Backup your valuable data (media, messages, notes etc)
2) Factory reset from settings menu
3) Download this rom. (you can also check the "HOW TO" there)
4) Store it on your external sd card in a folder named dload (the path should be [ "your external sd" / dload / Update.zip ] )
5) Go to phone update > open menu > local update; there you should be able to see the UPDATE.zip > execute it > done!
... and enjoy your "new" phone
Thnks... but when I reset it from menu it reboot to Team Win recovery.. what should I do?
Anyway... I tried to do Walt you said and when it reboot to update, reboot to tem,win recovery... Lol

That' OTA, for that you need to be on B830, download full firmware package of B839 and flash it normally, extract "dload" on sd card or internal storage and go to updates\local mnu and update. Backup everything you have.

It fails..
How? What does it say?
When I try to flash the zip it simply fails.. or when I follow the instructions to update local it fails again..
You cannot flash the zip, that's why you need to extract "dload" from that zip and put it on sd card or on internal memory.
I do that, then phone reboot and enter to recovery. What should I do next?
Then you go to the update and do local update, and phone should reboot and install that update.
That's what I'm doing since the beginning. I select the local update then phone reboot automatically to recovery...
Yes, and the phone needs to automaticly install the update.
but it doesn't...
Hmm, did you root your phone ? Maybe you can try to do force update, when the phone if turned off, hold Vol up, down and power button for 10-15 seconds and he will be forced to update.
Yes. I tried that but it boots to recovery..
Hmm, then i dont know, i normally updated it from b132 trough local update.

Do you have twrp / cwm recovery on your phone, or is it the original recovery?
Team Win recovery. And now it is stuck on a boot loop! Can someone help me?
I have discovered multiple ways of downgrading ZenFone 2 Laser out of which two methods proved out to be easy and reliable. Both methods have been tested and are working.
Method 2 doesn't require root while method 1 needs root access.
Pre-requisite: Stock firmware zip file. You can find download links from index thread for all variants.
WHILE THIS GUIDE HAS VERY LESS CHANCES OF MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE, HUMAN ERROR CAN ANYWAY HARM THE DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO ANY DEVICE. YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
METHOD 1: Requires ROOT-
Short instruction:
Some users say you can downgrade by renaming the OTA zip to correspond to a higher version but that will NEVER work because the update script has this line
(!less_than_int(1457089250, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (Fri Mar 4 19:00:50 CST 2016) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The recovery reads ro.buid.date.utc value from buid.prop. If the value is less than the value in updater-script (like the value highligted in above quote) any recovery will not flash it, neither stock nor custom. Just increaase the value of ro.build.date.utc (in build.prop) to any value higher than the value in updater-script and then flash the zip via recovery.
Detailed Instructions:
1. Open updater-script from the firmware zip. It will be found in /META-INF/com/google/android inside the .zip
2. look at the first line (!less_than_int(1457089250, getprop("ro.bui....
3. The value 1457089250 is taken as an example, your updater-script may have a different value. Keep a note of this value.
4. Install any root file manager like ES file explorer (if you dont have already)
5. Goto /system (the system folder) using the root file manager. Grant root access if prompted
6. Open buid.prop file as text and look for the line "ro.build.date.utc=1446585430"
1446585430 is taken as example, your phone will have a different value.
7. Now increase this value in build.prop to any number greater than the value you noted from updater-script
for example, if my updater-script has 1457089250 this value and buil.prop has 1446585430 this value, I will simply change the value in build.prop to 1546585430 or 1448585430 or 1457089251. Any number greater than 1457089250 will work in my case.
8. Now reboot to recovery (vol down + power)
9. Select "apply update from external sd card" select your firmware zip file, and then select yes to flash. It will take 5-10 min
10. (optional but recommended) Wipe factory/data . If you don't do this, you will see the annoying "Android is upgrading.." screen which takes around 30-40 mins to reach home screen.
Method 2: Without root, requires computer
Short instructions:
As I mentioned earlier, recovery reads "ro.build.date.utc" But you can bypass this check by erasing system partition.
Just do
Code:
fastboot erase system
from fastboot mode and then flash the zip from recovery
Detailed Instructions:
1. Install Asus drivers to your computer. (link in index thread)
2. Download adb_fastboot.zip and extract its contents
3. Reboot your phone to 'bootloader mode'. To do this turn of your phone completely. Hold "volume down Up" button and then press and hold power button. Release power button after Asus logo appears and then release volume down button. Your phone is now in bootloader mode.
4. Connect your phone to pc via a reliable usb cable. Look at your phone screen. It should display "Fastboot mode!"
5. Now go to the folder where you have extracted all the files. Holding down shift key, Right click on any point on white screen. Then click on 'open command window here' from the menu that appears. Command Prompt will open now
6. On command prompt type
Code:
fastboot devices
and hit enter
and check if it is detecting your device.
7. Then type
Code:
fastboot erase system
(this will erase your current OS, you are warned!)
8. After it is done type
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
to boot into recovery mode
9. Select "apply update from external sd card" select your firmware zip file, and then select yes to flash. It will take 5-10 min
10. (optional but recommended) Wipe factory/data . If you don't do this, you will see the annoying "Android is upgrading.." screen which takes around 30-40 mins to reach home screen.
Successfully downgraded to 1.16.40.763 from 1.17.40.1234 without root
Thanks!

"Failed to mount /asdf" error is harmless you will get that error even on latest twrp. You can ignore the error and use the MM stock recovery like normal. Recovery will do its job it can format, install updates, clear cache and everything, you just need to ignore that /asdf error
But you can use any stock recovery from any firmware version lower than or equal to your current firmware version. Drawbacks: You cannot apply update to MM OTAs if your recovery version doesn't match the current firmware version.
Going back to stock 1.13 is a bad idea. I would recommend you to stay on MM since it has many performance improvements.
But still if you want to go back to lollipop, consider downgrading to the last lollipop update i.e. v1.17.40.1531

I got a 412 mb ota update some days before. I downloaded it. Apply it for proceed. Then it start checking system as usual phone restarted. But update did not happened. Instead this same error show up. Then i can only reboot system. Got an update failed message.since that when i check for updates iam not even getting any. May be it will be solved by a factory reset .but even if i get an ota. The update wont proceed .because the recovery wont allow me to do that
And also that wipe cache partition also results the same error .so without solving this error i cant update to the latest MM too :/ .
In my experience, the most reliable method is to
extract the recovery from the version of stock ROM you want to upgrade or downgrade to
Flash that recovery with fastboot
Wipe /system in fastboot
Reboot to recovery and update with the stock ROM .zip
Or
Even easier, use Sziraqui's fastboot ready .IMG files and just flash them via fastboot.:good:
where can i find the recovery file in Stock rom

The recovery is included in the stock ROM zip file. Extract the zip and you will find it inside.
Presumably if you want to flash the stock ROM you have already downloaded it?

I found out that recovery for each firmware is available here. You should use a desktop browser to use this website.

Thank you.
Can ZE551KL use the recovery.img from ZE550KL? My ZE551KL has the extra 1700(AWS) band.
Please where are you guys downloading your stock rom from?
The stock zip is NOT flash-able like a custom ROM .zip. That's not how it works. If the Roms you have are custom recovery flash-able, they are not the OEM rom, they have been modified.
All the Roms I have come with a recovery.img file...
Then again if I have to explain how to use fast boot to flash the recovery, there is a good chance you shouldn't be messing around with fast boot.......

You don't need to unlock bootloader for flashing stock recovery that you downloaded from the above mega drive.
To flash the recovery.img (or any .img) You need to have Adb and fastboot files in your pc as well as Asus Zenfone drivers installed
All info and downloads for adb and fastboot can be found here
Search and download Asus ZenFone 2 laser drivers.
Once you have your pc setup with these tools,
With Administrator priveleges, locate the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe files are present. Hold down shift key and right click on that folder and select "open command window here". Then reboot your phone to fastboot mode [power off, hold vol up +power, release power when logo appears]
Connect your device to pc.
Type the following command on cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
Output should be something like this
Code:
FCAHSJSJJAKAK fastboot
This command will check if your device is connected or not
If output is blank, device is not being detected.
To flash recovery.img, copy the recovery.img file to the same folder where fastboot.exe exists and then type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Output is easy to understand, if it says [OKAY] then flashing succeeded
Tried downgrading ze551kl by fastboot erase system then installing .zip from Asus website (via sdcard). All of the Asus updates except the earliest fail with 'fota return code 403'.
1.14.40.550 installs ok but then boots (gets as far as displaying the wallpaper), gives an error message in german (looks like 'android media process stopped') and goes into boot loop. Anyone seen this before?
Also, any way to build a recovery.img from the Asus update files?
invalid boot image whenever i flashed stock recovery,any one know why ?
What i do is flash the stock recovery and flash relock bootloader.

I think OP needs a small correction to enter into FASTBOOT you need to press volume up and power instead of volume down and power buttons

Yes we can move it if we add the A50s (you might need to remind us though)
It's quite common to create a device thread in a "close-match" forum while waiting to see if a new (more precise device) forum is created.
So long as the thread is clearly titled (as this one is) then it's ok.

@redymedan Very nice works !!
i will try this but i have some concern before root my phone that are
- How can i fully backup all my app and appdata?
the root require full wipe data , factory reset , it is hard for backup everything when we dont have twrp for a50s yet (im not sure if it also require to full wipe when install twrp) and adb backup method only backup some playstore app but not the outside app , or some apps that developer dont give permission to adb backup such as steam
- and what can i do if i accident get bootloop or soft brick? does flash a stock rom will fix these?

For backup all your data, you can try Samsung Smart Switch and If something goes wrong like bootloop, soft brick, Just flash the ROM to make it works again.

---- BEFORE STABLE UPDATE ----
One UI 3.0 beta has been released for Galaxy Z Fold2 5G.
If you are part of the supported regions, you can grab the update link and share it here (for each update).
These are the steps I borrowed from @AhmedMomen 's S10 thread.
How to capture the update.zip file to share with other people:
1. Download HTTP canary app from Play Store.
2. Open HTTP Canary app.
3. Start the update by pressing "Download". Don't pause it!
4. Go back to Canary app and start it. It will grab the link for you.
5. Please share the link and your model number here!
As for how to sideload the update.zip file, I have explained it step-by-step here:
ADB Method:
1. Download and install adb.
2. Connect your phone to your PC.
3. Download the update file where you have installed adb Platform Tools.
4. Rename the file (including the extension) to "update.zip". Click "Yes" on the prompt.
5. Open your terminal of choice.
6. Type "adb reboot recovery" and press ENTER on your keyboard. Wait for your phone to reboot to recovery mode.
7. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update via ADB".
8. Back to the terminal on your PC type "adb sideload update.zip". (NOTE: If it says that device is not connected, just remove and put the USB cable back until it works).
9. The update is being installed. It will be completed when the phone boots up. You may use your phone normally after.
10. Report any bugs on the Samsung Members app! https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-members/
SD Card Method:
1. Search for an update file. You can usually find one in XDA Forums.
2. Check if you have the right build and open the right link.
3. Download the update file (.bin extension).
4. Move the update file to your SD Card. (NOTE: If you are getting errors, back up the stuff of your SD Card and format it from your Galaxy phone.)
5. Rename the .bin file (including the extension) to "update.zip". Click "Change" on the prompt.
6. Reboot to Recovery Mode, by connecting your phone to another device (such as your earphones) and holding the Volume Up + Power (+ Bixby) buttons.
7. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update via SD Card".
8. Navigate to and select "update.zip".
9. The update will start installing. It will be completed when the phone boots up. You may use your phone normally after.
10. Report any bugs on the Samsung Members app! https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-members/
