Help Stucked with Philz

[Deepak Chauhan]

Helo friends.
I have micromax A104 i had rooted it with kingo root app but now it is expired or unstable (whatever you can say) thats not the real problem. The problem is that some of the apps like ads hd videos, sudoku game, and some other .. They got installed into rom automatically i only could disable them . cant uninstall because now they are system apps and i dont have root. So i went into recovery which i installed before. Philz recovery. I wiped all data cache and also cleared the rom after that i had to install a new rom but when i tried to install the downloded .zip from computer it wont .. It says installation aborted. Some told me to use sp flash tools but it is not working even because when i switch off the device and connect to pc for some seconds it shows connected but as the screen turns on it gets disconnected.??? How to flash then??
then some told to unlock the bootloader i tried to do that but failed. Can anyone tell me howto install a new rom wihout any error.??

Your carrier may have added it as bloatware, particularly if you just got an OTA update. Bloatware can't be removed... but in newer versions of Android, it can be disabled.

Same happened to me and i cleared the rom from recovery nd now can,t flash new rom because i dobt have a unlocked boot loader and my recovery"philz" gives error in every zip .. Instalation aborted. Nd my phone is not rooted also.. Help me plzzzzzz

I do not understand your issue. If I read you correctly, you are trying to flash a custom ROM. While the post is completely off-topic, I will answer your question. You can't flash a ROM for two reasons: (a) you have a locked bootloader, and (b) your phone is not rooted. In order to flash a custom ROM, the phone must have an unlocked bootloader, be rooted and have a custom recovery (either TWRP or ClockworkMod) installed. Only then can a ROM flash succeed.

Philz is also a custom recovery - do you actually need the bootloader to be unlocked in addition if you have a custom recovery installed? It sounds like it wiped the system partition well enough...

P.S. He has a separate thread on this, so I'll move these posts into that thread, to reduce confusion.

Can you give me a solution please

Well the first question is, have you ever flashed anything with your recovery (or restored a nandroid backup)? That will tell us whether your recovery works at all. Or course if it doesn't then because your bootloader is locked you can't flash another one, but at least we'd know. I don't suppose you did take a backup using the recovery before you started wiping stuff? If you did then restoring that would be the solution.

The second is what zip are you trying to flash? A custom recovery can only flash properly packaged custom ROMs - it cannot flash official ROM zips, because these lack the scripts that a custom recovery uses. So if you have been downloading official software from Micromax and trying to flash it using Philz then that is the problem. In that case ou need to find out how you are supposed to flash the official software zip (and if the answer is "using the official recovery" then that's not going to work because you've no way of installing that).

If all else fails, it's usually possible to reflash a bootloader locked phone with official software from a computer. The tools depend on the manufacturer, and I've never seen a Micromax phone in real life so don't know what those would be or how to use them, but that is what I would try to find out. You'll probably need the phone to be in fastboot or download mode for this to work.
