Hi, you do not type Send_Command.exe at the #, you type that on your PC command prompt.

Afterwards I get the # prompt, type id and get uid=0(root) gid=0(root) context=u:r:recovery:s0

I would warn anyone trying to flash OP, looks like a few of us have tried and ended up "soft bricked" without a method to recover. YMMV
I have test files its image before the public. I do not know why you're having problems, you can manipulate something wrong !!!

Ok haha tried again again. Worked, reset. But now it's in Korean.

I am guessing same as English, Android is starting.

You get yours to boot?
You flash F500L V10o or F500L V10W?
Your base system ver?
You also keep the backup file system stock (system.img)?
Please keep status your devices now, do not try to do anything else if not can lead to "hard brick". I'll figure out a way to restore system from backup file stock.

I have flashed F500L V10w
Base system was 10b i think, I am not 100% sure.
And i haven't backed up my stock system image.
Thanks for helping.

Software version now on devices = software version of Rooted System, if not will be bootloop!
Sorry you I did not have a warning about this issue

That is sad as I was stuck at Android upgrading so I read one of your reply then hard reset it.
I will wait for it. But thanks for the quick response.

Hi thanks for the reply, any issue for the root? Can you write for me the complete process? I go through the entire thread and find issue of people bricking their G4 (soft brick). And what are the update notes, I saw the #1 post you did update about the change log of F500K and F500L variants but F500S is still 'soon to be update'.

;)

Rooted system H815B flash, then flash modem ... via "by-name" address!

or you can accurately calculate the price you bs, seek, count to falsh via download!

I flashed 10w. My original was 10a. I also followed your instructions and reset, but I have a copy on pc.

If i am reading correctly, h815b boots on f500l but loses modem.

I can enter download mode and make backups of modem. Flash h815b, then flash my modem backups?

Would that work?

Is there a way to push original system.img to internal memory via download mode, perhaps using send_command.exe?

This is my original F500Lx10a stock system.img.

I also wonder if you could just push your backed up image to the internal sd root via adb push, overwriting the modified system image and then have the software on the PC do its thing just as before.

Adb devices doesnt return results. My unit doesn't boot. No developer no usb debugging.

I'm thinking reading other posts perhaps if we have boot.img of 10w would work? Feels like it gets more dangerous towards hard brick..

Edit. I found U+ f500l KDZ but could not understand the language to find how to download.
