Thanks for the quick reply what can i do to fix this rrupert

For me, being fairly new, was to use the CyanogenMod installer. It does all the work for you, then you can flash whatever Rom you like.

I suggest you to use Odin to restore stock Rom from www.sammobile.com
When it's done, root again and reinstall custom recovery.
DON'T EVER TRY TO DOWGRADE

I fixed it I found a thread that had JB 4.3 flashable zip because that's what came with my phone thanks for the help everyone back to sgh-i927 thread I'm a Dev and help people there

You don't need recovery to flash back to stock. You need download mode. Just grab the firmware from the link provided above me and flash it via Odin

Hey I am also looking for this....on a side note are you looking for this because of wifi issues? has anyone found a fix?...pretty bummed wifi is not working on this thing
Could you install the dumps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/oppo-n3/help/looking-dump-boot-img-t2998030 Post #5, then unroot and run the OTAs to get you back up to current?

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.
edit: Replied before seeing babelmonk's response, please ignore this post.

Seems there's only about 4 or 5 people actively working on this phone here, so I'm sure we'll all end up helping each other at some point.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!

[HELP] Need help is flashing my Phone - Note II

Hello all,
I tried to flash CM 11 nightly version on my Galaxy Note 2 but is unable to do so.
When I try to flash, I get an error message that "This package is for device: t03g, n7100, GT-N7100; this device is t03gub"
I am sure that I have downloaded the correct version but from the above message it seems that I am trying to flash different version.
Please help!!! As I have cleared all the cache and memory, I even cannot boot into system. Cleared all the data for flashing the new CM11 but as I cannot flash now, I am stuck with a dead phone which I cannot use.
Please Help!!!!!!!
Flash Stock
Kindly go to www.sammobile.com and download the correct stock firmware for your phone.
Follow the instructions over there on how to flash. Or Google how to flash with Odin.
Once you get your phone live with stock OS you can go for Custom Rom.
As per my opinion DN4 by Electron Team is the best custom ROM.
Thanks for the help...... I did figure it out.... I had the flashed the wrong TWRP file initially and now rectified it.
Was able to install the CM on my phone.
Have a another problem though..... Phone network is not recognized. I mean by default, the mobile network is turned off and when I turn it on manually, it turns off the mobile network automatically.
Not sure how to rectify it..... everything else seem to be working fine.
Please help!!!
Anyone Help please....
The EFS partition is the culprit. I do not get ant IMEI no. on the phone.
Worst part is that I dont have the back-up too....
Any way by which I can bring back the phone to life?
Please help!!!!

Varun Did you ensure your phone is still rooted ?
Since you Install a stock rom form sams I assue its not Rooted or deodexed coz its stock rom ofcource..
Unless u are rooted you cannot install a good custom rom
Do a CF auto rooting using Odin
Reflash TWRP
Then Enjoy a new Custom rom
Go for DN 4 2.1 with mod v11 :good::good:

It looks like you flashed a ROM for the t805 not the t705.
First let's get you back to stock.
Download the firmware for your device from the link below.
Follow the instructions to install it. This will get you up and running again.

No need to flash the bootloader after flashing the stock firmware.
I would do a factory reset in recovery.

Hi ya, I have already done that but issue still there. Now I can boot up and start the setup process and the tablet freezes and reboots about 1 minute into setup process near where you have to sign in to google
Any more suggestions:crying::crying::crying: please
Tbh I think you have a hardware issue.
Now new problem when I try to install twrp it will not do it, If I go into the system recovery and try to do factory reset an error shows as follows
E: unknown volume for path {/sbfs}
E: unknown volume "/sbfs"[/U][/U]
Data wipe complete.
I thought it may be battery related but I have changed to a genuine new battery. still same issue
Please please Tech God help me

You might be able to get some help from the thread that you downloaded the ROM from that you're trying to flash. Since you're still on lollipop make sure that's not a marshmallow ROM you're trying to flash. Good luck to you. Once you get it all figured out you're going to love it!
