GT-s7562i - Chinese version help

Hello
I bought this phone in China and was stupid enought to try the firmware update with odim using the version for a s7562. As you can imagine the phone did not work and I had to go back to the original firmware.
The problem is that none of the versions I found on internet works.
Well, they work more or less. The phone starts and can even receive calls. Even Kies is able to reconize and update the firmaware.
Problem is that the buttons dont work and the touch screen is erratic, making it impossible to effectively use the phone.
Is there any idea what the problem could be? Wrong version of firmware or something else? If the problem is the firmware, is there any chance that I can find the right one?
Thank you very much for your help and attention. See you!

S7562iZCLK2
Does anyone have any idea where to get it?
Thank you

If it doesn't work then I am sorry the best way is to take it to samsung (chinese) center. One of my friend did the same mistake, and he flashed it with stock kernel and took to Samsung for repair.

did you try this firmware, what happened?

As I said we flashed the stock and sent it to Samsung. They fixed it under warranty.

What repair shop is that ? Is it Samsung official service center ?
Considering the number of times your phone put you in trouble,
I suspect something wrong with your PC. Because all of us have at
some point messed up their phones and we just flash the sammobile
firmware to restore our devices to full functionality.
But that is not the case with your phone.
Speaking of company rom, i think it has the 4 file firmware.
Meaning it has PDA file (with system), BOOT(kernel),
Bootloader,BL and CSC files. Maybe he is using a pit file that works with
kitkat bootloaders.

We do not yet have a 4 file kitkat firmware. We also do not have a pit file that works with knox 2 bootloader.
You can ask the repair shop guy for the firmware. Maybe he will give those files for some price.

Take some pictures of your boot loader and some screen shots of your "about phone" from main settings. Also have a look at this app. Can give you some very detailed info about what's running on your phone currently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Have you tried using kies again? Just wondering if your phone will connect thru that and maybe you could update your software thru this. ...and then maybe your could try changing firmware with Odin afterwards? ? Only an idea. I'm not an expert just a phone user like yourself.
I'm wondering if the shop you went to used something like a jtag which can restore phones directly thru chips instead of the normal Odin way we use. I'm wondering how the shop owner got his hands on a "company" rom. ...
A final solution maybe to take your phone to Samsung themselves to flash it back to its original state.
....that or sell the phone and buy another one to replace it. Might work out cheaper than sending it to Samsung because I have a feeling your not under warranty?

You might have done the wrong one like you said. Did you flash the latest firmware?
Sent from my Samsung SM-A520W using XDA Labs

yes i think this is the latest firmware but with the wrong carrier.
what should i do now?

haha sure but i dont know which one is the right firmware, i bought the phone from a local store, without specific carrier for the phone.
also, i was able to find my IMEI written on the back cover of the phone.
is it possible to write the IMEI into the phone and just to make it work?
also, when im entering recovery mode to wipe the phone for new firmware installation, it says ""failed to find /misc partition"

you will get that error message as a ton of us do. should be an "e" in there somewhere.
I've heard of your situation when flashing older modem/bootloader in a custom rom.
You seem to know enough to grab odin and flash, that's a lot more than many so that's good. Not sure who sold you the phone, but if you want to rule out anything shady I suggest running the IMEI to check on the status.
What country are you in? Where did you download from? And did the phone bootloop soon after attempting to use it with a new SIM?
I looked on sammobile and the only information I could use shows multiple countries. My phone bootloops all the time but that's called learning.
Download the phone info app... heck you might as well go all out and put twrp on it and root/install custom rom. Go all in.... i'll be here waiting...
---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------
Honestly, though... grab the phone info app in the playstore and post the results.
If you THINK it may be stolen and got ripped off, don't put a SIM in it.
Not sure if it is true, but I think it can be rendered unusable if it is hot. But most likely it's just hurtin' from a sour flash. Phone info... (twrp is easy and a touch of magisk will give more info if you get stuck) but I am a rookie.
You in Israel? Can only be one firmware there... flash a Palestinian firmware. It won't... ya know... nevermind.

Samsung galaxy S20 Ultra Super Image needed?

Hi,
Can anyone help... I bricked my S20 Ultra SM-G9880 and tried using odin3 to flash firmware but it is asking for the Super Image so fails the process.
It say on screen; An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software but when I download this it says the S20 is not compatible.
Please can anyone help it was a lot of money?

first off, what did you do to brick an expensive phone? Is it because you can't wait for the update to come along that you tried switching different Firmware without back reading some threads beforehand?? i'm not here to offend you or belittle you, in fact we have the same device and variant, HK- SM-G9880 to be precise.

I was trying to change rom to HK instead of Taiwan because I thought it might get rid of the chinese writing and be more western friendly... Wasn't really thinking... it was an expensive mistake.
Is there away to fix?

You probably have to read this topic about samkey so just dig this thread and read about the samkey. How it can fix your phone depends on what youll choose otherwise i can still suggest using samsung switch from pc and do an emergency installation but as always find a topic about it first and do the most suitable thing for you.

Hi thanks for comment... I flashed odin but it didn't remove lock. Maybe because it is a modern phone? I have given it to a local phone repair shop so hopefully they will fix for me.

So pleased to have it back!

Many thanks to @[email protected], this method worked as a charm.

Question [fixed] rooted a325m suddenly no imei, no sim

I rooted my a325m by patching the stock AP file with magisk, had to use FRP hijacker by hagard to be able to flash the patched file. I root uninstalled several apps for debloating. The phone worked fine for like a couple of weeks, and now, suddenly I find there's the no SIM indication, and in settings -> about phone it says IMEI: unknown, and in software information it says bandbase version: unknown.
The firmware version I used was exactly the same as when I bought it, A325MUBU2AUJ4, with the right csc (ARO in my case).
EDIT: after a couple reboots, the bandbase version now shows, but still no IMEI or SIM detected.
Can anyone help me? What happened? What can I do? Thanks in advance!

flash all the with odin the correct rom. the twrp unstable and more like shell and who knows what bugs have magisk. until why have a good recovery i would no root my phone reallly if you want to unisstall the software from samsung and google i would say to use the universal debload https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater.

UPDATE: it got unknown baseband againI
I relocked the bootloader and now in download mode I have an option to "show barcodes" pressing the side button. The barcodes show the right IMEI and serial number. Maybe stuff wasn't erased, just inaccesible by the rom?
I was told by a technician to flash the original ROM (already did) then root again. Tried several versions but not an older bandbase because downgrade is forbidden by the bootloader, apparently, to no avail. Would try a newer baseband but i'm afraid it will not work and will be unable to go back to the origial baseband version.
Weird thing is, there is the EFS directory but no /data/nvram or /dev/nvram

Same happened to me.
I tried everything I could think of to get the IMEI back and couldn't.
It was still under warranty and I took it to Samsung.
Before taking it I unrooted it and locked it again.
They fixed it for me with no problem.

How did you root it?
as I understand, after rooting, warranty is void since it implies flashing a magisk patched boot image or AP tar. In my case I was indeed able to relock the bootloader and flash the original firmware but upon entering download mode, it shows "warranty void 0x01".
was it the same in your case?

Flashed original firmware, relocked phone, and then went to Samsung Office. I had no problem with it

most likely the warranty vod bit was on (you can check it yoursef by entering odin mode) and they didn't notice
so you got it fixed for free?
did they mention what did the fix consist in? I heard they say they change the motherboard, which is a lie, they just write the nvram or efs with the right stuff
ah sos de argentina? lol where did you take it? to a samsung store? I'm from neuquen and got it at musimundo, but here's a samgung store too

myself i was thinking of waiting for an update which should be soon, lock bootloader, flash some official rom and pull off the cable so it gives an upgrade error and doesn't enter download mode, then take it to the store

Unroot before update and unlock

wipe the cache partition . then reset the phone using recovery mode . this is at you own risk .

did you fix it?

nope, went to samsung, got rejected cause warranty bit on, no choice but take it to a service and I suppose they could do something with Chimera Tool, Z3X or something like that, which, as I've seen, claims to fix it in minutes (and the client gets charged handsomely, like 100 USD)
From Samsung I got the same bullsh*t I read in some threads: "this phone has been tampered with and it's a hardware problem, the board must be replaced"

For the technically savvy, I got a strange Magisk log which kind of looks like it may be the problem. It seems to try to "unlock"* some devices on bootup but gets "permission denied". One of them may be the nvram or something like that. I have an EFS directory but no NVRAM directory anywhere or /dev/nvram.

very strange, i guess we gotta not use magisk until its bug fixed.. i have seen other people have the same problem too, but anyways, i sent my phone to get probably JTagged for 54 us dollars, if they fix it well, great right, but if they dont i guess ill have to buy another motherboard from samsung or go to another city... and the best part is that while my phone is there, im using an S4 mini from 2013 with custom android 11 rom hehe

i saw that auh firmware causes empty imei in another thread and to flash aug, maybe you could try this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/has-anyone-successfully-rooted-this-a32-4g.4326193/post-85788523

or atleast use magisk with aug or even older firmware if you can... is your a32 A325M or A325F?

well, your firmware is A325MUB"U2"AUJ4 and that means u cant downgrade to older versions that have binary1 so maybe you could try using samsung's new version which was released past month

I found it impossible to downgrade, download mode doesn't allow it. Couldn't find a tutorial to do it either.
