[Q] L520VPUANA7 stock image

Does anyone know where I could find an image of the stock L520VPUANA7 ROM? I can't find it on sammobile or samsung-updates. Or does anyone at least know when it is expected to be released?
Basically, I had updated to NA7 for the wi-fi calling, decided I didn't actually need it, and tried to downgrade to the MK2 version so I have a rooted device. However, it turns out that some idiot at samsung decided to make attempting to flash an older, official stock ROM not allowed and therefore the device should stop working and not boot. I can turn my phone on, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini logo shows up for half a second, but immediately after that I get the error about
"Image size too large! W:1080 H:1920
display image fail
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"
I can still boot to the odin download screen, and I have attempted flashing various different kernels and bootloaders, etc. but nothing works. I am assuming that if I could flash the official NA7 firmware, then it would work again since that would make all the KNOX stuff happy.
Also, a side note for anyone that is interested, the KNOX values shown on the odin screen got set to 0xfffffffc (-4), not to 0x1 like most other people have seen. Does that mean anything special?

yes you can but.
yeah you can but wich kernels have u tried before meaby for flash bad kernel now is giving you problems you should be carefull if the jkernle that you flash is for your phone! i will find out about some fix for you let me see!:good::fingers-crossed:

T800 kernel issue

Hi all.
I've just got a t800. Successfully rooted and installed TWRP. Big thanks to all the work put in by the devs that provided info and files for this to work.
I was looking for a decent lollipop ROM and accidentally downloaded and flashed the iron man kernel rather than the ROM (I was tired!). Since then, it just hangs on the galaxy s logo. I can still reboot to recovery and download modes. Flashed a few ROMs, non of which have worked, except Bliss pop. I'd like to flash a ROM with the usual Google stuff on it. I flashed thunder ROM 800 which installed successfully, but on reboot, hangs after the Samsung animation plays. I tried flashing a different kernel -Stock_SM-T800_WIFI_T800XXU1ANJ6_kernel.zip - but am still having the same problem. Luckily I backed up the Bliss pop install, but nothing else before that (I know!). I guess I need to flash the original kernel but can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You'll find the stock kernel for the T800 Lollipop (I assume you had Lollipop on your TAB) here, at the very bottom of the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
If you started out with KITKat and flashed a Lollipop ROM without first flashing the Lollipop factory image to get the Lollipop bootloader, that could be the source of your problems. However, if you already had stock Lollipop on your TAB, you should be fine.

Hi Hookmt. Thanks for your speedy response.
The tablet was running kitkat when I got it. The first thing I did after rooting and installing TWRP was flash the kernel that you linked. It's since then that I've been having the problems. I'm guessing I need to restore to original kitkat kernel / rom then re-flash the lollipop files in the correct order. Is that right? If so, can you point me in the direction of the correct files please? Sorry to be a pain and thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

... Upon further searching, I've found "T800XXU1ANFB_T800BTU1ANG1_BTU.zip" at Sammobile.com. File details:
2014-08-27
United Kingdom
4.4.2
PDA T800XXU1ANFB
CSC T800BTU1ANG1
I'm currently downloading the file. I'm guessing once I flash that with Odin in download mode, I'll be back to square one, right?

Yes, that was a lollipop kernel, so I'm not surprised it created problems on an otherwise KitKat device. There's a couple of routes you could go.
You could try flashing IronRom 1.9.7 which is a KitKat Rom and should replace the kernel with a KitKat kernel and see if the TAB behaves (same link as before). Make sure it is 1.9.7 not 2.1 which is Lolllipop.
Or, you could cut to the chase and flash a Lollipop factory image (with bootloader) and then reroot and reinstall TWRP. The instructions for this is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/samsung-lollipop-range-tab-s-t3021612
Good luck.

Use the link I gave you above. All the firmwares are there and the instructions.

Once again, many thanks. I'll let you know the outcome.

Sorry, one last question. As there is no UK ROM listed, should I use the "country unknown" version?

I'm actually not sure it really matters which country version you use. I used Cellular South since I'm in the US, but I've seen people here use the French version. It will simply dictate what keyboard language comes up first by default, which you can change. I don't think there are any other real differences. Try the Canada one. The UK one you downloaded from Sam Mobile, based on it's date, is obviously KitKat.

You might also search the thread for an answer and post the question if you don't find it.
I'm not an absolute expert and don't want to misrepresent myself.

Success! Worked perfectly. I think you're right about the country thing. I used the Canadian ROM as you suggested and it worked fine. Just defaulted to use a US keyboard layout rather than UK. Re rooted and flashed TWRP. Backed it up this time! Big big thanks Hookmt.

LG G4 help needed!

I have the lg g4 h815 international model. It is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked, I manually upgraded to android 6.0 and then a few weeks or months after I was just on a normal day. So I turned my phone off, then when I needed to turn it back on it failed to start up only showing the lg logo with the boot loader unlocked sign in the top left. I tried all that I knew how to. I went into TWRP recovery and wiped all the data from it. I tried to boot up but it would not and it said that I have no OS installed, however I was sure I did. So }I tried the kdz method of restoring my phone but the lg flash tool 2014 seemed to not respond instantly.
Next I tried downloading the stock files and stock ROM and tried to flash them, but when I attempted to flash them using TWRP it froze and went back to the LG logo screen with the boot loader sign in the top left and it wont let me do anything. I can still go into download mode and recovery though. I have tried every method I know of and I am really stuck. If someone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.

If anyone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.

I tried this but when I attempt this, TWRP freezes and it takes me back to the LG logo with the boot loader unlocked sign. Because it keeps freezing I cannot restore a backup or download a custom ROM and I am stuck on what to do.
EDIT: Also when trying to use the kdz method the lg flash tool 2014 just fails and force closes.

By chance u aint got the 505 serial number device do u there was a sorta recal on a few devicez if im not mistaken and im actually new to this device but i had g3 and it was a common problem on g3 for bat to go bad try dl rom and installing it while plugged in to power source other than that im not fortunate enough to have bl unlock and twrp or i might be able to give some more assistance

Attempting to get VZW Note 4 to Kitkat

Hello XDA! First post here and I’ve been reading a lot since I got my phone. I seem to have found a solution, (maybe), but I'm not clear on a few vital things.
A little back story… my dad just gave me his Verizon Note 4. It was on Marshmallow, but has since been downgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1, N910VVRU2BPA1. From what I understand it still has the locked MM bootloader (?).
I’m planning to root the phone, but only if I can further downgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4. I’ve read through the thread “Stabilized process used to unlock Bootloader” and it seems it should unlock the bootloader. However, I’ll end up with a “Developer Edition” phone. This leads to my questions…
1) Once successfully rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, will I be able to downgrade the phone to Kitkat by just flashing the firmware in Odin? I really don’t care if I lose root, I just want Kitkat on the phone.
2) Can I just flash the “retail” version of Kitkat from Sammobile or do I need a “developer edition” Kitkat (if there even is one)?
3) Can someone advise me if what I imagine might be possible is even doable?
Any help is greatly appreciated! I’m new to this so if these are just funky questions, please excuse. Lots to learn! Thanks so much!!!

A little help please!
Someone must know this.
Can I or can't I flash the "retail" Kitkat firmware onto a "supposed" Dev Edition rooted to unlock the bootloader?
I hope someone can clarify this before I do something stupid!
Thanks!

Thanks, but I don't need help doing it, I just need someone to answer the questions so I don't mess up the phone.

Yes you can, make sure to unlock bootloader first. But when you flash you will loose bootloader unlock. I have a guide where I could use the lollipop bootloader and use kitkat. I really love kitkat and with root you have lots of potential for battery savings and more!
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
If you would like to downgrade the bootloader add a twrp custom recovery and use the kitkst method I have and you can have the best phone, I also would recommend you buying a zerolemon battery and case.
But if you do just want to have full stock and have all the bloat ware on it you can like you stated unlock the bootloader and then flash the retail kitkat and your all set and downgraded

Thank you very much for responding! I very much appreciate it!
I don't care to keep root and just want the phone on Kitkat. In the future I may decide to root it and play around with roms and such, but not right now. I can now go ahead and attempt it with confidence. I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks again! :good:

Well, tried all kinds of stuff and it was a no go.
Was able to get the phone rooted finally... had to use KingOroot. Kingroot failed to work no matter how many versions I tried. Once rooted, checked download mode and it indicated Developer. However, I was unable to install retail KK or KK stock restore in Odin 3.10 and 3.09. Since the flash failed, putting it into recovery ended up in an error about "Software update failed"... use a PC, blah, blah, blah. Wouldn't let me go anywhere in recovery.
Decided to try flashing LP 5.1.1 back to the phone and it flashed ok in Odin 3.09. Phone is back up, but lost root, (expected), and I'm back again at square 1. At least the phone isn't bricked! LOL!
Maybe the problem is that this phone has an MM bootloader so eventhough it's unlocked, you can't flash KK to it? Don't know, but I guess I'm back to trying to find this out.
Good experience so far eventhough this attempt didn't get me anywhere! Well... at least I know how to root it and unlock the bootloader!

g710n updated to android 10 stuck in bootloop.

hi guys and thank you for a great forum.
Ive been trying to flash my phone from current pie 1kr korean to android 10 1kr stock rom from lg-firmwares and it get stuck on bootloop. ROM file used is "G710NOP30d_00_OPEN_KR_OP_0429.kdz"
I have tried other stock roms without luck.
only thing that works is rollback to Pie G710NOP20k_00_OPEN_KR_OP_1220.kdz
I am assuming my environment on win 10 is working as i can flash back to pie and phone boots correctly.
any idea what i should try next. ive been phone less for 2 days getting annoying. any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I wish i did get it on OTA but this is a refurbished phone from aliexpress without serial number (S/N is on the back of the phone but not in OS). if you guys know how i can enable OTA on g710n in spain please do let me know.
file size is above 3gb and also lg up is not complaining as i know it does initial check before flashing.
I just cross flashed with this kdz file G710EM30b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0707.kdz without any luck it still gets stuck on lg logo.

There is a thread in guides section called android 10 for g710. Maybe you can try their methods there or ask them for help as they have the same model as you.
