how much time it takes for flashinf, after following all your steps :confusedtool is stuck on the same think for almost 20 min, please help me and let me know what i can do
SP Tools link broken!
Unable to download SP Tools. Please help!
Seems i bricked it
I was earlier a user of this device and had tried several ROMs. Was experimenting with few custom ROM's on my friends device (Canvas 4)
After flashing a ROM (S5 ROM) posted on this forum, i was getting some errors in CWM:
can't mount /cache/recovery/log
and it refused to flash anymore ROM's.Left with no other option, i thought of flashing back the stock ROM and then rooting agn to flash a custom rom.
However, even the stock ROM didn't flash, i was getting an error
BROM ERROR : S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
I googled a bit and some forums suggested to format flash tp resolve this error. I did that and that worked and got a green circle with Format Ok.
Again, i tried flashing the stock ROM and now got a new error in SP Tools:
BROM ERROR: S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069)
I am stuck at this point and not able to flash the stock ROM. After loading the scatter file, only flashing of Preloader works. Remaining all is stuck.
Running a memory test on SP tools gives an error that
NAND FLASH WAS NOT DETECTED
Please help me out, i have spoiled my friends device and need to fix it ASAP.
The masters here, please help out - @shiv.guddadmath @kannanrs @gamerboy_010 @rishivg @FSadino @pranjal18 @NeroD @rahilj007 @Yash98 @jayadev01
@satsmagic,
I encountered this and if i remember right, this has been reported before. S5 Rom does spoil the recovery and it is repairable.
With SPTools, use the Firmware Upgrade option instead of the Download. This will set it right and try a stock rom first. I used Pranjal's ROM and it worked. Please try and report. Of course, you can flash any rom after that.
Greetings...

@kannanrs thanks for replyiing back, i think i had tried that on stock ROM but i tried again using Pranjal's ROM, doesnt work :crying::crying:
Please see the error screen attached
seems m stuck badly and lost it:crying:
If i do download only, i get Error 5069 (S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE)
the red and purple bars do complete 100% in both cases
And i used S5 ROM from the below link by @rishivg, it never said it breaks the recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-4/development/samsung-galaxy-s5-rom-a210-t3324837
@satsmagic
Almost all, that flashed the S5 rom released by me, encountered this problem, including me. But the rom bettered all expectations.
And only when we need to check another rom did we encounter this.
This happened to me at all times when i tested this rom for answering the questions then. Its now 4 months that my canvas4 died a graceful death and beyond repair. So I am unable to test and tell you. Rishi can dare to test and report this and probably drive a nail to end this problem for you, if he can afford to risk a bit and probably rubal and vikas who helped me when this happened. I will ask them to comment also....
Theres a thread in the A116 or A110 forum which i will share here soon...
Cheers!!!!

as expected the srvice center guy said, prblm with motherboard, get it replaced, i dnt think so. SP tools still detects the phone and flashes preloader, then comes error 5068
On searching for the NAND FLASH WAS NOT DETECTED, i found on some forums that if we have a back up of FLash from other device with stock ROM then it can be helpful, see below link (post #33 & 34)
http://www.chinaphonearena.com/foru...NAND-Flash-MT6589-MT6577-MT6582-MT6572?page=4
I presume stock rom should have that but still can someone provide me the same as mentioned in these post. M not sure hw to make tht backup but if anyone here knows that
or a back up using MTK Droid Root and Tools, see below link, it says if its detected its not dead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442
see this post as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58815549&postcount=15
might be a back up can help me
@satsmagic,

i have stock ROM, but that doesn't sort out the prblm.

You should flash the stock rom using sp flash tools. That might solve the problem.

Hey guys,
so this my problem:
I got the Mix 2 with the Chinese ROM. With the XiaoMiTool by Francesco Tescari I updated to the Global ROM V9.1.2.0 because I didn't want to wait to unlock the bootloader. This worked but I only had the choice to set China as my region. Since this was a common problem with updating the ROM without unlocking the phone I unlocked it and waited for 3 days to unlock.
Today I installed TWRP and installed the ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2_7.11.16_v9-7.1. After this I was stuck with the Mi bootup logo. In TWRP I deleted cache, system, data. This worked EXCEPT for system. I thought updating TWRP to the newest version would help solve this issue. But since I'm new to this I didn't update it within TWRP but just installed the newer version via the commandfastboot flash recovery twrp.img. The result is that I can not get in recovery mode anymore. The only option is fastboot mode or the regular Mi logo endless boot.
What I tried so far: EDL flash method via adb/MiFlash but both don't work. The XiaoMiTool won't work too. The Mi PC Suite won't recognise the phone. When I use the edl.cmd the phone will go black for 2-3s and then return to fastboot.
I guess the problem at this point is that usb debugging is not turned on since TWRP installed the EU ROM and I could never get in it to enable the debug mode.
I couldn't find a solution to solve the boot up problem and can't seem to install/flash a new ROM at this point.
So what can I do? Do I need that special usb cable? Will the EDL points help me?
Maybe/Hopefully you can help me out.
EDIT:
When I turn on the phone it will directly go into fastboot mode. A normal start is not possible anymore?!...
EDIT 2:
I am now running the latest Global Rom this guide did it for me: en.miui. com/thread-1351514-1-1. html
Good to hear you got it up and running.

Hey guys
First, a little bit of history:
I own a G6 now, so I wanted to have some fun with my G3.
I rooted it (LGOneClickRoot), installed TWRP, installed LineageOS 14.1 and everything went pretty well.
The problem was that LineageOS 14.1 is terrible, huge lags, tons of bugs, so I tried installing another ROM through TWRP, I don't know what I messed up but I messed up and the flash failed. I dont remember exactly what I tried to flash after that but I failed again and then classic --> Stucked on LG boot logo, no recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
So I used the popular fix for hardbricked G3, creating a short between test point and ground while connecting it to revive him, and it worked. I went with the whole procedure in BoardDialg and stuff. Kinda surprised by myself that I didnt go full-panic mode creating tons of threads everywhere lol, I managed to make it work even if it took me something like half a day of learning and work.
Now I'm back to stock Android 4.4.2, rooted with LGOneClickRoot again and everything is fine.
I mean... Almost everything is fine, because now I want to be able to install Magisk, and I found that Magisk is for Android 5+.
So there are some informations I need to gather before going further and risk a brick again (please no more short on the motherboard lol):
1- Can I flash a stock Lollipop ROM with LG Flash Tool in download mode using CSE Flash ? Is it a proper way to do it or do I really need to go through this boring TWRP recovery flashing again ?
2- where can I find such a ROM (stock Lollipop for d855) ? And which version to chose ? v20a, v20e, v20f, v20h, v20i, v20p, v20t, v20u, v20w or v21a ? I've been looking for hours now, hard to find reliable informations about all different versions.
Thanks for the read, I hope someone can help me
UPDATE:
I flashed a Lollipop v20f with LG Flash Tool and it's working fine.
I heard that after v20f, newer versions were "harder" to root so I sticked with v20f.
I'm gonna play around with Magisk now and see how it goes.
I'm in the same boat. I also went back to 4.4.2 via TOT. The I rooted and installed TWRP. how I want to restorel my RR 5.8.5 from a TWRP backup. My question is to I have to install the 35B bootstack before or after the restore or at all?
Hi,
Upgrade (LGFlashtool + CSE flash) to V30B
Follow this post ==>
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268
Then you can install custom Rom ou upgrade to stock V30N (with root : there is a post about it)
Hey how did you do the unbrick process? I stuck at flashing kdz eventhough i have correct dll and drivers installed
hi,
Try LGUP instead of LGFlashtool (download mode and type *.kdz + select kdz file in LGUP)
Depends if you're hardbricked or softbricked. I was hardbricked so I had to create a bridge between 2 points on the motherboard and reflash everything one by one. I formated recently and didnt keep all these things but I can get into it again to try to help you.
EDIT: LGFlashTool isn't enough if you're hardbricked, you'll have to use other tools and open your phone. First step is identify if you're softbricked or hardbricked, google it you'll find your answer
Mine was hardbricked. I use shorting test point method and successfully flashing partition. Then I flash kdz using LG flash tool 2014, my phone stuck on boot logo. Then I do factory reset. Still same. Last option, I use LG UP. It stuck on LAF info with number on it. Is my LAF file damaged?
Hi,
With Boarddiag try this :
1-EMMC TEST Option "erase" ;
2- then Restore theses partitions and reboot in download mode and flash Kdz.
