restoring Continuum to stock DL17

DOWNGRADE BEFORE I COULD UPGRADE
I had to jump through a lot of hoops to help a friend upgrade their Samsung Continuum (on Verizon) to the new Froyo 2.2.2 (EC09). I had previously rooted the phone, which was still on DL17, and that was now crashing the official upgrade. So I thought I'd document what finally worked, for anyone else who's struggling with the same. Not guaranteeing my procedure will work, of course.
Mostly, I've summarized and rewritten the other instructions I found buried in and amongst the other discussion threads. After successfully restoring 'stock' the official Froyo upgrade finally worked.
PRE-REQUISITES
- locate the thread, [DEV] Continuum DataBase [EC09][DL17][EC03][EC07]
- download the following files:
Samsung i400 USB driver
"DL17 Factory stock rom+radio+kernel (odex) all in one odin flash"
(the resulting unzipped file is 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5')
ODIN flash-tool
- download the updated "EC07" PIT file (the "DL17" PIT didn't work for me!)
Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT
PROCEDURE
Install the Samsung i400 USB drivers
Remove battery from phone (not sure if this is necessary but some threads advised it, and after several failed attempts I was desperately trying everything. In any case, it didn't interfere with a successful imaging!)
Connect the phone on USB
Hold VOL-DOWN plus PWR buttons until the built-in 'Flashing' screen appears (should be immediate)
Confirm that the computer detected the phone over USB
If not, re-run the Samsung USB Driver install and select 'Repair')
run ODIN
Confirm that there is a yellow 'COM' status showing in the top-left.
If not, ODIN isn't connected to the phone!
Click on 'PIT' button and select the 'Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT'
UNCHECK the checkbox option for 'Re-partition'
Click on 'PDA' button and select the 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5' file
Click START
You should see a steady stream of status updates in the bottom-left window as well as a progress bar in the top-left (labeled "factoryfs")
The update should take about 10 minutes, then the phone will reboot. The reboot takes about 2 minutes and there is nothing shown on the phone!
NOTES
I originally tried using the (DL17) 'SCH-i4000-VZW-Continuum.pit' but it didn't work.
I also tried it both with and without the re-partition option; neither worked
At one point the phone stopped being recognized on USB. I simply re-ran the Samsung USB Driver install and selected 'Repair'. Then the phone was recognized again.

I found instructions to root the A390 here.
Step 1: Download and unzip the three attached files.
Step 2: To install the drivers for the computer, had to reboot the computer (Win8 64x) and disable driver signing. Then turn off the phone, connect to the computer, and run the InstallDriver.exe. After the driver installation is complete, disconnect the phone. The phone only makes the pre-loader interface available for a couple seconds when the USB cable is first plugged into the computer.
Step 3: Open the folder with the flash tool, and run Flash_tool.exe. Click the scatter-loading button and select "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" from the recovery folder you downloaded. The recovery check box should automatically be populated with the TWRP.img file.
Step 4: Click download button and select "yes" to ignore the dialogue box. The flash software will now wait till it sees the MT6577 interface from the phone. With the phone off. Plug the USB cable into the phone and then into the computer. The flashing software will automatically load the recovery image to the phone. The flash-tool will show the power status bar red to yellow then wait for the message "OK" green is successful, then disconnect the phone, the TWRP recovery has been flashed. If the flash does not detect the phone when you plug it in, check your driver installation from step 2.
Step 5: Access recovery mode by pressing volume up + home + power key until the phone vibrates or it boots into recovery mode, then let go. This time open Team Win Recovery. You now have TW recovery and you can now root your device. (Make android backup first before rooting you phone)
Rooting Lenovo Ideaphone A390
After boot in recovery it will ask you to install superSU just drag/swipe to install. After you reboot the phone, you will have to have internet access to download the GUI. You can download the GUI from the play store, or download a zip which you can flash from recovery.
You are now rooted!
Good Luck

Voice Calls
hello! Recently, I bought a Lenovo A390 and i think that it has a problem with the voice calls. During the voice call, the person who i´m talking doesn´t hear me no more and end the call. I think the phone have a problem with the sensor because the screen flash when i put it on the ear. Anyone knows what i´m talking about? Thanks!

Just can not send the recovery file to my Lenovo A390 using SP Flashtool
Hello,
I have installed the correct drivers because I did manage to flash my ZTE v889s phone and send a recovery.file to it.
But with my Lenovo A390 I have tried over a week and nothing will work. After SP Flashtool finds the phone, it gives an error message after 4 seconds, saying:
BROM_ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
I am sure this must be some kind of locking mechanics on the phone, and not a problem with the drivers, since they are working with other Android devices. Do you know what could be the problem?
The phone is suposed to be rooted, I am using SuperSU, that I installed using the USB cable on the device.
All your good advice is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

My Lenovo A390 has problems with its ANDROID CORE AND ALL THE ANDROID COMPONENTS!!!!
Hi all. I got a rooted Lenovo A390 and I downloaded ROM Toolbox LITE. I used build.prop editor. I accidentally edited the vm growth heapsize from 16 to 10. then after rebooting the phone, everything didn't work anymore. The android phone, android core, google services, gapps, and everything else stopped working and the notification bar dissapeared and nothing in the phone will open. Does somebody know how to reverse it without using the apps in the phone since nothing would open?

ultimate bootloop
i think i got a dead end, just trying (desperately) to fix my phone,
the situation is :
usb debugging is off
stucks at boot
the recover is not functional (just an android logo and red exclamation point
can't install the drivers
how can i fix this? or is it really dead?
thank to those who will help

i just wanted to clear everything off and back to stock. hopefully the stock recovery can do that?

[Q] How to back from CW11 to Stock 4.2.1?

Hi,
I was using my Grand Duos I9082 with great CWM11 4.4.2..
But due to change my phone with LG G2 nowadays, I'll give my phone to a friend but he needs dual sim option..
So, I need to flash original rom to on it.. I've downloaded these files:
Duos4.2.2stock-TUR-I9082XXUBMHC-20130906121521.zip (975.573.674 bytes)
and
I9082XXAMC7_I9082OJVAMC1_TUR.zip (827.176.269 bytes)...
I'm not sure which one is suitable for Turkish stock rom..
And how can I flash one of the file (if possible, tell me which one is better) via Odin?
I think I'll choose as PDA but I'm not sure another options required for Odin process..
If some expert tell me the whole process?
Thanks..

repeat all the steps from above.
5. Now, if everything is ok you can move to the next

6. From ODIN app click on the “PDA” button.
7. Browse and pick the extracted firmware file from your pc
