Could you give me a deleted photos recovery program?

[a cooperator]

TWRP is not an APP. TWRP is NOT and app. I don't know how many different ways I can say that. It's becoming clear to me that I am either failing at explaining it properly or you aren't understanding what I'm trying to tell you.

Do you understand what a "dual boot" means for PC's? Where you can run two different operating systems on the same machine? Do you understand disk partitioning? Where you can have one physical disk in a machine but several volumes that look like separate disks to the machine? And, that you can access one from the other? It's similar to that.

Thanks a lot,
Yes, I understand TWRP is just a recovery environment like Android System Recovery environment.
However, I read on the Official TWRP website the following below which mentions to that I can flash the TWRP recovery image '.tar file' to my device via Odin app.

Download Links:
Current and past versions of TWRP can be found at one of the mirrors below:

• Primary (Americas)
• Primary (Europe)

TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed):
Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.

Odin Install Method (No Root Required):
You will need to download and install Odin on your PC. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.

While that TWRP app you found in the play store can make things a little easier, it's only a routine to automate what I suggested you do manually. And your phone must be rooted for that to work. What TWRP does or doesn't support is up to TWRP and the developers. Ask them about Gionee support. Could be no one wanted it, or Gionee does something to their phones that makes development harder, so they skipped it. If you want the true reason, you'll have to ask them.

However, when I tried downloading and installing the TWRP app from the Play Store, then when launching it, and once I have passed this initial screen, I was greeted with the app home screen where I can choose TWRP FLASH, Backup existing recovery, and NETWORK STATISTICS.




Fortunately, I firstly tried backing up the existing recovery by TWRP before going ahead.

Then, on the TWRP FLASH screen I would need to select a device. Once I have selected my device which 'Samsung Galaxy Prevail2Spr, the app was checked for new TWRP versions for the device that I have selected,



After that, I downloaded the 'Twrp-26.3.0-Prevail2spr.tar' recovery image as a zip file, I unzipped it, and then select 'flash to recovery'.



After the flashing image was successfully, I tried booting to recovery mode. I tried turning off my device, and then pressing and holding the Volume Up key and the Home key, then pressing and hold the Power key. When the Samsung logo screen displays, I released only the Power key. And when the Android logo displays, I released the Volume Up and the Home key.
However, neither was Android System Recovery booted, nor was TWRP recovery booted.
Only this screen shot below of boot was shown to me.


So, does this screen shot above mean TWRP recovery is being installed(I currently do have TWRP on my phone?) How to know if the TWRP was installed/added successfully. What is the proper key combo to get into TWRP recovery mode?


I tried flashing my existing recovery backed up previously by TWRP to let my Android System Recovery boot back normally again. Thus, When I did that, the Android System Recovery booted again.

Could you please have a look at my previous post and screen shots, and confirm to me why TWRP recovery wasn't added correctly. May I need to unlock bootloader in prior trying TWRP app?

 

[lunatic59]

No I can't. I don't know. You'll have to ask TeamWin or find someone who's got the same phone and has successfully flashed TWRP.

I know you tried helping me many times, and I highly appreciated it.
However, could you please take a look at my points and screen shots posted before about TWRP, and try to answer what you see need to be answered.
I haven't yet unlocked the bootloader of my device. I only tried installing TWRP without unlocking bootloader.

You're not listening. Refer to post #129. If someone doesn't know the answers, then repeatedly asking them to answer isn't going to make them suddenly know the answers.

Could you please understand my difficulties and struggles for installing TWRP onto my device 'Samsung Galaxy Prevail LTE?
1- I was told by Luniatec below that I must unlock my bootloader before installing the TWRP? So, I am asking about if that the fourth screen shot of the boot environment not booted normally( in my post #127 happened due to not unlocking bootloader. Instead of booting Android System Recovery or TWRP Recovery, the Odin mode booted although 'Vol UP+Home Key + Power Key' only booted Recovery mode.

You currently do not have TWRP on your phone. We've confirmed that. There are two steps necessary to get TWRP on your phone. First, you must unlock the bootloader. This allows the recovery partition to be modified. Unlocking the bootloader on any Android phone forces a factory reset. There is no way around this. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you will then be able to flash TWRP tot he phone which replaces the stock Samsung recovery with TWRP.

Then, Lunatec told me "I don't think you need to unlock the bootloader with a Samsung phone if you use Odin to flash, but just in case, here's the instructions.". I knew that odin didn't need bootloader to be unlocked since I used the Odin to flash the firmware without needing unlocking bootloader.

I didn't find any bootloader-unlocking app for my SM-G360P. I found EZ-Unlock14 but it is an Andorid app which needs to be installed on a device, and I was notified that EZ-Unlock14 would brick my phone.

I tried deciding to install the EZ-Unlock14 although I was notified that EZ-Unlock14 would brick my phone. Then, I tried launching it, and then unlocking bootloader. I was notified that bootloader was successfully unlocked. After that, I have launched the TWRP and flashed the 'Twrp-26.3.0-Prevail2spr.tar' to recovery. However, when turning off my device, and trying turning my device on, I found it didn't boot at all. Even I have plugged to my PC, however that made no difference at all. It seems as though there was no device connected to my PC.
What might happen to it?
It seems as if my device was died completely.


2- I only wanted you to confirm for me if you could have seen my screen shots posted in my post #127. Due to with having a look at them, you might know the answers since I am afraid I couldn't explain my issue in plain language to understand me.

 

[a cooperator]

Could you please reply to my point written in red colour? I can do anything to it or throw it.

 

[lunatic59]

I tried deciding to install the EZ-Unlock14 although I was notified that EZ-Unlock14 would brick my phone.

It looks like the warning was accurate.

If you can't get it into download mode for Odin, then you either have indeed bricked your phone, or you will need something called JTAG.

THIS IS NOT YOUR PHONE, but it would be a similar process to repair, if repair is at all possible. I do not know if this could fix your phone.

This is not a home project. You will need to take it to somebody who has the appropriate equipment.

It cannot turned on, not getting it into download mode for Odin.
What might happen to it? No detection at all when it is plugged into my PC and running Odin app.

I don't have any equipment shown in the video.
I cannot fix its bootloader with any app installed on my PC?

Nope, and if you don't have the equipment, then you'll need to buy, beg, steal or borrow it.

 

[a cooperator]

But, I had been asking and reiterating EZ-Unlock14, on the link suggested below, is an Andorid app which needs to be installed on a device, and I was notified that that EZ-Unlock14 would brick my phone in my post #120 before going ahead with it.
https://www.androidpit.com/unlock-bootloader-with-one-click-many-manufacturers

This is the warning I saw before going ahead with EZ-Unlock app. But, since I need to have my bootloader unlocked, and didn't find other app, I decided to go head with EZ-Unlock.


Do you think that EZ-Unlock is so bad and harmful to this extent. Then, I think it must be removed from the internet completely.
I wish that I didn't go head with EZ-Unlock.

Note: My phone became even not be charging while plugged into mains supply outlet socket at all. Even if the bootloader was destroyed, then my device must be still charging when plugged into mains supply socket.

 

[a cooperator]

Nope, and if you don't have the equipment, then you'll need to buy, beg, steal or borrow it.

Thanks a lot,
Only JTAG equipment and a laptop involved in doing the repair.
The JTAG equipment is the one black piece on the video since I've never ever seen JTAG at all.
I will need to dismantle my device to have the motherboard.

Yes.

[a cooperator]

I don't and won't blame anyone here if my phone got bricked. However, I need to know if to never use it again. And if so, then which bootloader unlocking app should I use?

I was told here in my country that SM-G360P cannot be supported with JTAG they have.
I only found in the video that only a JTAG and a laptop involved in the repair.
I have a laptop, and I can buy or steal a JTAG as Mikedit mentioned. However, anyone of you who has ever used JTAG with Samsung devices please tells me if the process would be easy and don't need a proficient technician. The process will require software maintenance since I noticed from the video some settings made. I want to educate myself by doing the thing by myself after reading guides.


But, as long as you must unlock your devices to flash TWRP recovery environment or any other custom recovery environment-creating app, which bootloader unlocking app you use?

 

[lunatic59]

One last time.

Every phone model is different. Until you have another phone, that question cannot be answered.

Don't expect that I am stupid with asking such a question, however I think that you must have used bootloader unlocking apps suitable with your device. However, I don't find any bootloader unlocking apps said that it will work with my device.
I had to use EZ-Unlock although one user stated and commented with warning there on that link of TWRP you mentioned to me before. You think unlocking booloader will damage a device like this damage occurred on my device? But, you know that unlocking the bootloader of a device will be a must to flash a custom recovery, such TWRP?


Could you please mention to me with all equipment which will be involved in making repair? You only mentioned to a video and JTAG. No clear steps in that video. I know that model of phone in the video is different than mine. But, I want to know the mechanism of using JTAG?

 

[lunatic59]

I think that you must have used bootloader unlocking apps suitable with your device.

No, never. Anytime I needed to unlock a bootloader was using fastboot. The last bootloader I unlocked was for a Nexus 6 several years ago. There are some bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. It will vary by phone model.

Unlocking a bootloader PROPERLY will never harm your device. Apps that claim to unlock and root phones should be used with great caution as they most likely play games with the phone's configuration to bypass the manufacturer's security.

ould you please mention to me with all equipment which will be involved in making repair?

No I can't. JTAGging requires specialized equipement to write directly to the memory chips on your motherboard, but I don't know what they are or the steps necessary to effect the repair, IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.

Then, I didn't only unlock the bootloader of my device with that JK unlock app. However, after the unlocking of my device was done successfully, then I tried launching the TWRP app downloaded and installed on my device from 'Play Store'. Then, On the TWRP FLASH screen, I would need to select a device. (I selected "Samsung Galaxy Prevail", though there was "Samsung Prime Core" on the listed devices, I didn't select. So, do you think that selecting the wrong device might cause that brick for my device due to flashing an unsuitable TWRP image to recovery). Once I have selected my device which 'Samsung Galaxy Prevail, the app checked for new TWRP versions for the device that I have selected,

After that, I downloaded the 'Twrp-26.3.0-Prevail2spr.tar' recovery image as a zip file, I unzipped it, and then select 'flash to recovery'.
View attachment 125655


After the flashing image was done successfully, I tried turning off my device, and then pressing and holding the Volume Up key and the Home key, then pressing and hold the Power key. However, no response from my device, and it seems as it was died. I tried removed the battery and tried pressing on the combo key again (Vol UP + Home Key + Power Key), but no response at all. I tried pressing only on 'Power Key" to turn my device, but, there was not any response at all.

NOTE: before running the JK unlock app to unlock the bootloader of my device, the pressing on the combo key 'Vol UP + Home Key + Power Key' while device is turned off was resulting in my device couldn't do normal boot. Only 'Odin mode' booted instead of booting into Android System Recovery.
My device couldn't do normal boot "Android System Recovery was no longer booting) caused due to flashing TWRP img to recovery via TWRP app.(neither was Android System Recovery booted, nor was TWRP recovery booted.). Thus, I was expecting that was happening since I flashed TWRP img to recovery without unlocking the bootloader of my device. Thus, I had to unlock the bootloader of my device using JK unlock, and then retried running the TWRP app again to flash the TWRP img to recovery.
As a result, the "unlocking of the bootloader of my device uisng JK unlock app, and giving another shot for TWRP app to flashing the TWRP img to recovery" was while my Android System Recovery was corrupted/wasnot booting normally with pressing on its combo key
Only this screen shot below of boot was shown to me.

No I can't. JTAGging requires specialized equipement to write directly to the memory chips on your motherboard, but I don't know what they are or the steps necessary to effect the repair, IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.

so far when I tried connecting my device into my notebook, I didn't see it was detected at all. However, when launching an app called "WinDroid ToolKit" used to do some tasks on some supported devices. Then, I found that that my device looks as though it is still alive since the offline status is converted to 'online', which means that WinDroid ToolKit detected my phone while connected into my PC. However, I don't know what can I perform to try repair it within this app. Can I flash the firmware via WinDroid ToolKit since I don't see any command to do that?




On the other hand, when launching Odin app, then I didn't see that Odin detected my device at all. I wish that Odin was detected my device since I would then flashed the firmware to my device to fix it.

 

[lunatic59]

I don't know how many times i can tell you that I don't know. I don't have a Prevail or a Core Prime, I have never flashed those files or used those apps. You are confusing my attempt to help you with my possessing some vast comprehensive knowledge. I can assure you that i do not.

I can tell you that Odin only will detect your phone if it's in download mode.

Hi, Lunatic59,
Although my phone doesn't boot when turning on it, when connecting my phone into my notebook USB port, then I saw it was recognised as unknown device 'qualcomm mode'. (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode)
I checked the device manager, I saw my phone is not defined as shown as in this screen shot:

 

[a cooperator]

I read "Hard brick is something that you can say if your phone doesn’t light up at all."
"Before we talk about “How to unbrick Samsung Android Phone”, let me clear something with all you guys, most of the people don’t know what a bricked phone actually is. A bricked phone means – your phone won’t turn on at all. A phone stuck in a boot loop or a phone that boots directly to recovery mode is not a bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked that means it won’t open at all, neither you can boot into the recovery mode nor into the download mode, you cannot unbrick it on your own. However if you are able to boot into recovery mode by using a USB jig, then there is a still hope that you can unbrick it. Otherwise take it to some service centre to get it back to function."

However, my phone won’t open at all, neither I can boot into the recovery mode nor into the download mode, then I think I cannot unbrick it on my own. I cannot use GPG SBOOT to repair dead boot?



What is the a USB jig by which I can boot into recovery mode?

 

[a cooperator]

I am now quite sure that my phone was hardly bricked by flashing TWRP recovery image not suitable to my device.
I really don't know if my device is Samsung Galaxy Prevail LTE or Samsung Core Prime since, on FLASH screen on TWRP app, I would need to select a device. (I selected "Samsung Galaxy Prevail", though there was "Samsung Prime Core" on the listed devices, I didn't select Samsung Prime Core . So, do you think that selecting the wrong device might cause that brick for my device due to flashing an unsuitable TWRP image to recovery.
