Hi,
Was looking everywhere but could not find this, so figured I'd ask here.
I need to send my tablet back to Samsung for repair, but need to remove CWM and put the original recovery back...
Can anyone post the original recovery IMG?
If you followed the instructions from here you should have file PART8.IMG... that is what I need.
Thank you!

Hey guys
I wanna flash my lg swift with 2.3.2. But I don't know how to? All I know is that I need to get a rom with fastboot enabled and then I must install recovery and then I flash. But how I do all this? Is there a tutorial some where that explains me how to do it? I searched everywhere.
Phone. Lg gt540 rooted and has android 2.1 v20b
THANKS IN ADVANCED
There are plenty of threads already explaining this. You need KDZ updater. The 2.1 ROM with fastboot. After you flash these with KDZ updater you will have a fastboot enabled ROM. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged before doing any o this or your indicator will get screwed...like mine. The you use fastboot to flash the ROM via ADB. That's the basics, now go look on the forums for more detailed descriptions as they are there.

For the stock kernel/ramdisk 4.4.2, (boot.emmc.win) look in my kernel thread in my signature below.
For the 4.4.4 , lock for the complete upgrade image in development.
Might I ask what you are going to do? Any development for the gpe is good news. Maybe with more specific requests, we can better get you sorted out.

Thanks but I tried to get a boot.img from the boot.emmc.win but it doesn't extract like typical .win files when I rename them and try to extract them. I tried with 7-zip which didnt work and also with tar -xvf on my Linux box which didnt work. I was hoping for a boot.img.
Im actually going to try to port the GPE ROM to the v500

You will need the image tools in my repo for that. Look in my Sig below for the "roll your own kernel" thread. About halfway down I have put together all the tools you will need in order to create your own boot image. Good luck! Let me know how it goes for you!

Actually i had seen that thread but the title I refers to a method to rewrite system partitions to GPE and I didn't think that there would be talks of porting a ROM in there. I found the thread.
Are we going to continue to bicker about this some more or can you help me? If not, no biggie... I just wanted to ask
Edit.... Never mind on this request. I found the GPE ROM alpha thread and looks like it isn't going to happen after all. I'll stick to what I know best and continue to port Miui tablet edition. Thanks guys!

Anybody want to help me? Please
Download this file http://preview.tinyurl.com/z3wwuyp. ( patched file)
Save to an easy located place.
Connect your computer to the tablet and start fastboot(volume up and down together and power button)should show fastboot starting.
Open a CMD window on your computer and type cd c:\ to get to just a c prompt.
Then type fastboot flash ESP This bit then should read the full location of the unzipped file that is patched.
An example like mine is fastboot flash ESP c:/adb/1050f-esp-patched.img , this is how I did mine and I have an unlocked bootloader and permanent TWRP
So this actually unlocks the BL? How many users have test-tried this and can confirm?

They do work, I can confirm
The files were originally made by ionioni and workdowg i believe and they work!! All the tutorials have been deleted for some reason so now all the rest of the users are either stuck at a boot screen or cant upgrade (like me).
@corasman was bright enough to capture some of the files. He has saved my bacon at least for now.
Again, @all on lollipop - if you are stuck at a loop or cant upgrade flash the files in this post

So they work, but there's no proper tutorials to ensure that things are done properly, is what you're saying?
Also, the deletion/closing of those threads is baffling. Does anybody know the reason? Maybe the moderators can chime in.
I believe XDA rules say something about source code for files must be open source,and if I have read right ionioni infringed the rules.

No probs Adrian dude... Thanks again...
Well for the tutorials, the original threads maybe closed but there is still valuable info there.
I read the first 15 pages of the boot-loader thread and realised I need a stock boot-loader as it kept coming up error when trying to installing the latest 256 update.
Hope all that are in peril recover quickly now

At the moment I am sticking with KitKat until a modified ROM is hopefully produced.
Changed my mind,
I now have full unlocked bootloader and TWRP with the latest upgrade.

I might... I collected ALL the files from EVERYONE (regardless of whether they were explained...) since they started working on these YT2's.... The bootloader should be the same on all the 830's. No one ever got back to say it worked (tang?????). PM me....

Sorry... All those files are long gone as with my device.
I see plenty of people asking for rooting help etc. I think we need a proper guide on how to backup TA partitions on M & N. How to restore. How to flash recovery and kernels and in which order. Which tools do you need and where do you get them and when everything is set and done, how to flash a rom.
A step-by-step guide.
I see answers like "just unlock and do this and that" which isn't answering peoples questions. And the result is just people asking "and how do i do that?" and the loop of replies with no content continues. I'd be more than happy to help, but havn't had the device for long, nor have i done anything to it yet. So i'm hardly the right person to do so, yet.
Why are you speaking for these 'plenty of people'? I don't see anyone asking, it's only you because you don't put effort into looking up and reading and you want everything to be served in your plate. Everything is very well written if you TRY to search for it.

If you read the question I posted, I said that for some people the information is not very clear and there are some things that haven't been specified. Especially for the xperia X, why are there so little threads and mods for it? Because it's new? Do you think there will be more mods and stuff in the future?

You should TRY and read the OP again, you clearly didn't get it.
And why i'm speaking for "those" people. Because no one else is. The difference is that i don't have any difficulties doing so, it doesn't bother me. You could've spend your time more productive coming up with suggestions to a possible solution, eliminating those "i need help rooting/flashing/blabla" threads. Whereas you choose the easy way and just be a prick about it.

Here you can find unofficial twrp for xperia x:

Install with fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing this twrp you probably cant access data partion in twrp, to fix this boot into twrp, do a factory whipe and format data partition.
If you want to root flash latest SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
3. read inside topic to find restore code.
B. unlock:
1. go to this site https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to get unlock code
2. turn on develop option (gg please) turn on oem unlock in this
3. follow sony intruction.
C Relock
relock ( use restore code in A) after that use flashtools to flash any firmware you want (like fall back MM)
ps: it is just a summary because you can fix any problem with gg in some other android devices.
ps2: dont use only one device forum to find your answer, try to find it from others. Because sony devices have same problem when flash OS )) or backup DRM and most them was answered so no one wanna write again again about same problem.
