Hello guys, this is my first post here.
Got my hands on a X9076 a few days back. I have been playing with it a little, and when I tried flashing a custom ROM it was all a complete mess. No custom recoveries worked, could not flash the ROM however hard I tried, and so on and so on. After trying literally every single version of TWRP for my device I finally found one that worked. It booted to all of them, but then the screen would just appear off, although the phone vibrated in some images.
The problem, as you may have guessed, is that I am not able to flash a custom ROM in an older recovery image. Is there any way to work around this? So far it seems like I am stuck on ColorOS which sucks bad imo. Thank you for the help!

I had the PA android build of 4.4 running on my tablet and decided to flash the franco kernel, which put me in a bootloop. I have since then flashed stock back onto the nexus 7 but with no luck at all, it's still in a bootloop. I tried to flash Clockwork mod onto it, but it got stuck on the google logo when i tried to boot into it.
I've been screwing around flashing stock images back onto the device but nothing seems to be working.
I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here so any help would be appreciated!
I'm not sure if this is the same issue I had before, but after going back to stock I've always had to do a factory reset (you can do it from stock recovery), otherwise it would lock up at the X screen.
that did the trick. I've never actually needed to do that after flashing back to stock before, but it seems to have done the trick!
Of course I missed something obvious like that though 9.9

I don't have anything worthy to contribute as most everyone on these forums is far more experienced than me. I do however run into problems - a lot. Working through those problems is quite possibly more enjoyable than experimenting with new ROMS, and I wouldn't be able to work through any of them without the help of this forum. That said, I'll give the short version of my problem first as I'm sure not everyone wants to read the lengths I've been to to unbrick this phone.
I used CyanogenMod's app to root my phone and flash CM10 (which felt like a bad idea at the time). I love CM10 on my Kindle, but I wasn't the biggest fan on my SIII. My phone updated to CM11; which I really hated, and in an effort to flash a new ROM I got stuck in a boot loop. Now I cannot boot into any recovery at all.
The long version:
I am a novice when it comes to flashing, but I'm learning as I screw up. This is the 4th device I've rooted and my second SIII. I have been using TWRP on my Kindle and I totally love it. After having CWM installed by CM's app, I was unable to flash any ROM, period. Rather than hurl my phone against the wall (which I really wanted to) I tried to flash the TWRP .img file, but no matter how I tried the only recovery I could get to was CWM. Finally I used CWM to flash the latest version of PAC-MAN - which I had bootloop problems with on my Kindle - and consequently found myself in a bootloop. I would get the regular Samsung screen, then the CM Samsung screen, then the PAC-MAN screen which it would stay in forever. Throughout all of this the only way I could access a bootloader was by restarting the phone into recovery from Android. Using the "Volume-up, Home Button, and Power" combo doesn't work. I can't remember it ever working to get me to recovery. Anyway, I now have the Dongle Jig which gets me to Download Mode and I can flash the Stock ROM through Odin, but now my boot is stuck on the black Samsung screen. I have also tried flashing the TWRP .tar file through Odin with no luck.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
HELP!!!

You was not on the OTA MK3 build prior to all the flashing right? If not..
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 .tar in Odin (I read I am not the only one having trouble with 2.6.3.1)
Reboot Recovery

I'm not sure what OTA MK3 is, but I just tried flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 via Odin with no luck. What is OTA MK3 and how would it affect my ability to flash?
Hey,
I had AOSP installed on my ascend p6, everything working no problems at all.
Suddenly when I was a week on vacation when my battery died it wouldn't get passed the rom loading screen.
I have TWRP 2.7 and have wiped everything and everything over and over but nothing is working. I am now trying to install The lastest aosp sincde OMNI and CM11 didn't work.
Any help how to fix this? it keeps happening at every rom I install.
Little update:
I just tried reverting from twrp 2.7 to stock boot and recovery and I think I just bricked my device Can;t get passed the huawei ascend screen.
I wanted to reinstall the 118cn from stock recovery. is there anyway to fix this? Thank you!
UPDATE: Okay somehow after rebooting it around 20 times with fastboot, recovery and other combinations it is now booting I think. Praise the lords. It is now optimizing the apps
I have no idea what I did but I will post an update when it is done optimising
UPDATE UPDATE: Okay the weirdest thing just happened and I don't get this at all... I have wiped my whole phone like 5 times. with itsto and exsto. but somehow I now boots with all my apps, settings and launcher intact and inplace... I even installed multiple roms trying to make it work. WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?!
I know I shouldnt do this but I am going to re-install twrp 2.6.*.* and then pushing it to 2.7. Wish me luck! (following the excact instructions to make it work haha)
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Okay, After seeing the wi-fi not turning on I tried rebooting my phone now it is stuck at the huawei ascend screen.

Jelly Bean China stock roms can brick device (lots of users on xda got their device bricked). If you wanted to unlock, best to use KK China.

Will try! I thought I was passed this haha. When It starts i'll try to figure out a way to install it probs trough adb fastboot. since I can't get to the recovery screen with buttons
Update: Okay I managed to boot recovery up trough adb, It automatically started installing the update.app package.
I am now hoping for the best, one good thing... My phone was luckily already in unlock state
UPdate: Succesfully flashed my phone the stock with unlocked bootloader!
UPDate: And now on omni rom Everything is working fine!
so much like a handful of other people around here today, I soft bricked my phone yesterday morning with an ATT OTA update.
I have managed to get CWM 6.0.4.7 working, and I have tried multiple ROMS, but I can not get anything to boot past the splash screen.
please, I know I must be missing some simple thing, but I can not find out what I am doing wrong despite digging through threads all day here.
I have reset caches, data, etc, dalvik, all the recommended steps...
nothing seems to be able to boot, but I feel like I am soooo close.
thanks in advance
solution - revert, reset, reinstall
this softbrick with no potential for rollback was solved with a combination of techniques.
firstly, I used zadig and heimdall to flash a cm11 recovery into the phone.....
then, I used that recovery to install roms....
they were all locking up on boot.
I reverted back to a stock recovery for the phone 4.3 ish
then did the zadig / heimdall recovery again, installed the latest nightly of CM, and it booted!
flashed carbon kitkat, with the proper gapps, and back in action...only took a whole day!
So i got a deal on a nexus 9, and no longer need my 7. I decided to give it to my dad and wanted to give him a clean experience. I had been using dirty unicorns 5.0. So I grabbed the stock image off googles site and tried installing it with their directions but didnt work. I tried deleting everything with twrp except usb/otg in custom wiping options, then again following stock install technique, and that didnt work. now when the tablet boots up it gets stuck into a bootloop trying to load up twrp from powering on. Any ideas? Never tried to flash a device stock before.
