Hi XDA Community,
I soft-bricked my phone, it gets stuck on fastboot even after flashing my backup. The only thing I didn't backup is my userdata partition. Does anyone have the T-mobile firmware so I can unbrick?
Thanks
MSM doesn't exist for T-Mobile yet. Did you try fastboot -w to erase all userdata?
Yes, nothing so far. However someone out there can probably dump their tmb firmware and I can use fastboot flash.
I fixed it!
Looks like the vm-bootsys file was responsible, so flashed that and good to go!
Nvm, now stuck on wiping
EDIT: It's doing the same thing again
Unfortunately, TMO MSM doesn't exist currently, and full OTAs are not available, so there is no good way to extract /system, /system_ext, /vendor, /product, and /odm from super. It sounds like you backed up everything though, so what happens if you just flash everything back?
Hey I might be able to help you dude? I pulled my tmo firmware as back up. I mean I pulled every partition and made a flashall.bat if I knew how to put it on a site or share with my drive it's 20gb.

I extracted all that even vbmeta_vendor all partitions. If you can tell me how to send it to you I will let u look over everything and I can see if it will help ppl. I used it to get my 9 pro unbricked. I got the convert to us OnePlus os in. I just can't update yet.
Yes I would very much appreciate it. @craznazn I will convert to EU as a last resort, that's what I was actually attempting in the first place! Thanks!
You can zip it using something like 7-zip and put it on anonfile, they have 20GB limit but compression makes the folder size smaller. Thanks a ton!
Or you could use gofile, unlimited storage space.

Did you get this backed up online yet by chance?
I want to flash Global myself but waiting till there is at least something to attempt to flash to fix if it breaks.
I flashed EU, am A-OK apart from maybe downgrade to L3, still working that out.
Also, you can back it up yourself using Partitions backup and restore on the Play Store. Just make sure you are rooted, otherwise it won't work.

What partitions did you backup using that app and were you able to successfully restore using that app as well? Does the BL remain unlocked after restore?

He's running an experimental MSM conversion I built, it's not public yet. It does not touch the BL unlock. The process is not stable and it's not ready for public use.
That, and it's no longer the TMO ROM, and there is no good way back w/o an official LE2127 MSM
I am gonna try to write a guide my first one if I am not breaking any rules. Anyone can tweak or down it? But like I say messing with android is trail and error. I am gonna put the. Rom I pulled and used to unbrick while y'all are waiting on the msm. To me. This is just an easy fast fix so look out for it on the guides.
I backed up everything except for userdata. Make sure you manually dd the super partition to a super.img, otherwise it stays a tar. That's the mistake I made. I'm sure I can convert it but prob not worth the hassle.

In case some of you who have flashed to the euro firmware want to go back, the below is an early firmware for at&t and can be flashed via Odin.
This is not the most recent stock firmware, but it is something:
http://www.multiupload.com/J9Q8A95EF7
Pass: samfirmware.com
do not select repartition when flashing this.

I would like that as long as it was factory reset before the backup so it doesn't have any of your personal information.

It should be clean of any personal data; I had just rooted it via SuperOneClick and installed Busybox and then pulled the backup. I'll upload it to multiupload tomorrow and post the link.
EDIT: Looks like it does contain some stuff. If I ever have to restore it, I'll do a factory reset and pull a clean dump and post it. So for now, if anyone wants pieces of the original firmware, minus the data partition, let me know and I'll upload those pieces.

Did you ever get the rom? I would like to go back to ATT rom if I can. The one clubtech posted unfortunately did not work for me. I think it does need a pit file, but which one? I have no idea.
I repeat the rom posted here DID NOT work for me. Blank screen with the tab vibrating every 10 secs or so. I was fortunate enough to get it back into download mode to go back to jjk5.
Looking for a stock ATT rom thanks.
can we just ask AT&T to reflash our devices or do we need t send them to Samsung if we want original version again?

I believe if you tell AT&T you've flashed it with anything other than an officially released firmware, they'll tell you to pound sand, and that your warranty is void.

I do have the rotobackup that I pulled from my SGT prior to flashing to JJ4/JK5, but I didn't do a factory wipe before I pulled the files, and thus there is personal data in some of the files. I'd rather not distribute my Gmail login info, which I'm positive is stored in there since I accessed the Market.
You might be able to flash all of the files I have, minus the dbdata partition (maybe substitute the one from clubtech?) and maybe that would work? I'd defer to someone more knowledgeable though, like Roto. I'm not even sure the efs partition should be shared, as there's IMEI info in there.
Heres the stock AT&T firmware I put together from my Tabs original firmware. I'm going to flash this now to test it once more, In Odin, no pit file.

The reason i.was.going to flash back was.to.get the media hub app.and upgrade it. Then i was going to put.it.on jma so i.could use the $50 credit. But i would like it anyways in case i need warranty help.
Thanks for checking.

As expected, it worked, BUT:
It boots up blank, no splash screen.
Recovery is also blank, making it hard to navigate lol
Other than that, it works fine. Its good enough for return purposes or to grab files off and then flash back to JME.
Hmm, my guess than is the other one worked too then.
Any idea on why this boots up blank? Hopefully someone will grab this rom before flashing.
Not sure how you navigate a blank screen. Will give it a shot.
Thanks again.

Funny, I actually got a samsung splash screen, but nothing else! Nothing! Blank after that. Same as the one clubtech provided.
I can get back to d/l screen but thats it. Can't see or do anything else
I've had issues trying to go back to stock AT&T after a full JMA flash, I ended up using all the files from my rotobackup minus the zImage because of the signed bootloaders...
So you got it to work? Could you post the files you used. Thanks
I believe the one from rotohammer are actually from my stock backup. (He hosted them for me) You can double check by checking topics I've posted, one of them is a stock AT&T dump I did.
Basically my configuration right now is JMA pbl sbl and kernel and the rest is AT&T stock. Flashing back the zImage from my backup didn't work if I'm remembering correctly.

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.

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.

Oppo neo 7 a33f custom recovery plzzz send me
Hi, I've talked of this before. The firmware update, I tried returning to stock then attempting to update the firmware through updating the software OTA but that failed no matter what I did. I returned to stock, flashed the stock recovery, and even locked the bootloader. And finally I attempted an RUU but the RUU failed. So now I lost all my data in vain. I rooted the phone again and reflashed it to Insert coin android 4.4.4, ect.. And I currently am really tired of this. Isn't there any way to get through this? I want the new Insert Coin Lollipop but I have S-ON and cant update the firmware. Can someone please help me? It would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading this lousy comment.

I don't know anything about Insert Coin. But if you want stock lollipop from Rogers, you could restore a Nandroid backup via TWRP.
For a start, post your fastboot getvar all (without serial no. and imei no.)
Then most probably the nandroid that ikeny mentioned is the right backup.
I'd be more worried about the RUU failing - I wonder what the error code was?
If OP's M8 was Rogers branded, CID ROGER_001, then RUU from Rogers never existed in the first place. Perhaps this explains the error.

You don't need the img file now. That was the stock recovery, for later, if you want to replace the TWPR recovery.

Hey guys, more and more Roms are coming out for our beloved OnePlus 9 pro. I had a 6 and 7tp before and there were stock oos Roms, which you could easily flash via Fastboot and have OOS back.
It's just more convenient to simply have one file instead of flashing all images and so on
It'll be so great if any developer could try to create one, since it shouldn't be so difficult (at least that's what I guess haha)
I created one (11.2.7.7.BA), it should work, but need testers. Ofc, Use it on your own Risk, but we have MSM Tool

I owe you a beer Sconny, you brought me back from the brink! I didn't exactly use all of your files, so I'm not sure if I count as a tester, but I was able to use your fastboot commands from Flasher.bat and turn that into a shell script. I ran it not really knowing it was going to work, so I ended up not wiping beforehand but it looks like it turned out fine. Oh and I didn't use your zip, used my own and dumped the payload myself. Thanks again Sconny!

Yes but for flashing custom Roms you only need need some of the images flashed to the other slot prior to flashing the custom ROM zip. The system IMG and vendor IMG and some others are not needed. Comes in handy when moving from one custom ROM to another.

Never mind though as this was inaccurate on my part, vendor img is needed...my bad. This method just lets you flash to latest fw after you're already on a custom rom. So to say if a newer fw came out after you could update to it.
I will take a look on it when I've got more time, sorry guys. I need to test it on myself in order to provide this variant of restoring our devices, but I'm working much as hell atm and family stuff etc. Is more important. But I promise I will try to provide a fully functional package for all versions. System, ODM and Vendor is still buggy, but I have some ideas how to fix it
do u think this could work for AA?

There should be the same bug with wiping. But I have an idea, I gonna download AA and will upload here. 1 hour needed
Uploading right now.
Here is the AA Version. Wipe Manually, i have to figure out why its not working, for me it does (Maybe cable, usb port?)
I am not a Developer, i'm just doing this for fun and testing when i have time. As always, use at your own risk.
I disabled Verity for the 3 Partitions, maybe that will help. If you guys have some Ideas, please let me know.
Once it is working flawlessly, i will create a thread and update the "tool" for BA/AA/DA Devices.

I'm rooted on T-Mobile stock 11.2.5.5 would I be able to flash 11.2.8.8 via fastboot? Or would I need to convert to EU first?

Just follow the tutorial in this forum
I have the LG G8 from Verizon. About a year ago I was trying to root it and got so frustrated with it that I ended up deleting all the partitions on. So bad that all it can do is go into edl mode. Well today I downloaded the chinese kdz tools and I've used it to extract I think dz to dz. I don't know what to do with the G82010g_00_VZW_US_0918_img file it made. Please somebody help me get my phone back to working.

So, bad situation, as you know. Follow this link to a windows based kdz extractor tool.
Hopefully that will extract your vzw kdz. If so, flash abl, boot, laf and dtbo partitions to both slots using edl. That should give you download mode so you can use lgup to refurbish the vzw kdz.
I've never had to do this, so not sure what the result will be. Since you deleted all partitions, I don't know if they will be 'rebuilt' completely, with imei etc. But at this point, you've nothing to lose.
good luck

you said you deleted all partitions didn't you? How did you do that? It was edl mode and qfil wasn't it? As that's what's in guides section to root device.
that's what you use. Except this time, don't make the same mistake. This time, follow the guide to and flash partitions.
there are no other ways.
Yea but they were already there in the partition manager
