This is not the right thread to be asking questions about being bricked.

You should be looking around your respective device's forums for methods to recover from a soft brick.

If your phone is booting (into recovery / download mode / hboot / whatever) then it is not hard bricked, and more than likely there is a way to recover.

But this is not the place to find out what to do.

Sorry if that seems a little harsh, but this thread is for specific devices and hard bricks or damaged phones only.

This thread is about donating your very dead device (that's on the list or uses the same processor as ones on the list) to a very good dev, so that he can further destroy the device by disassembling it's cpu and mapping (some of) it's traces.

Please try not to muddy this thread with questions that are unrelated to the goal of the thread.

Well it actually not responces to anything. It does not show any life on any action that I take.

Put charger in- no action

press POWER button- no action

press any combination of buttons- no action....

Is it not hard bricked enought??? :(
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
I've been able to revise my methods a bit. I no longer need to remove the processor. Send me a pm. I can locate xOM5 based on UART output from the device. Once we have xOM5, its a matter of figuring out the upload sequence. I believe that the p1000 will be similar to the rest of the GalaxyS series.

[General Topics] AdamOutler:
As long as it is Exynos based, I would love to get ahold of one to test xOM resistors on the device. The development would be longer then most as we do not have FULL signal descriptions on the device. Rebellos and I DO need one for mapping and developing bootloaders. If the device works, then I won't need to remove the processor, however there is a very slight risk to the hardware.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17637489&postcount=24

So I need one to map out the hardware mod, and then if time allows I could send it to Poland for Rebellos to make the first Exynos custom bootloader firmware. If time is contstrained, I Rebellos may be willing to work remotely like we did the first time to develop the firmware.

If you're willing to send one, I'm willing to mod it, send it to poland, and send it back.

bricked k1

Id love to help out a dev. I have a bricked lenovo k1.

the screen shows..."booting recovery kernel image"

nothing else happens.

I have nvflash and have followed instructions for unbricking SEVERAL other tablets, but since its "other tablets roms"...

I have the OTA from the lenovo site.

What do i do with it? I am unsure as to how to get anything on the hdd of the tablet. nvflash isnt working since Its not meant for the k1.

I know im close to the magic so what do I do with the OTA.zip

i have sdk tools installed. However, adb shell in a command prompt doesnt do anything for me either so how can i push a boot img and recovery(cwm) into it?

The key that keeps "something" locked up has been found? or was the guy lieing?

I read conflicting blogs here...

A lot of arm-based processors that emerged during 2008-2011 were Cortex-A8.

It's possible that a lot of these microprocessors in our devices can support UBM, if not a variant of. But unless we can clone AdamOutler and a few others, it's better to focus on a specific set of variants.

Some devices are also Cortex-A9 devices are also out, and it may also be possible to create some kind of UBM for them as well. Newer devices coming out in the future will have Cortex-A15 cores... which makes me feel woozy... Can't wait! :D

Most mobile/embedded processors have other names for their "Power-On Reset" configuration pins. Samsung calls theirs xOM. Freescale just calls them "Power-On Reset Configuration Signals", but I don't know what they name the actual pins.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
Working on the A9s. It seems that Texas Instrument calls them BOOT_MODE_* and Samsung has changed from xOM* to X_OM_*. The A9 will prove to be more challenging.. It seems that the security technology has been rapidly evolving and the OMAP would appear nearly impossible to work with.. Although, to be honest, I havn't really started yet. We'll see.

I'm fairly confident that UBM will be possible with anything that contains an Exynos 4120 with a Samsung branding.

[General Questions and Answers] codemann8:
I currently have a Thunderbolt that just recently became close to unusable to me. (The power button does not work without me jamming it into an edge of a table or wall...I heard this is a common problem). I talked to Verizon, I didn't have insurance since I've never needed it before, all my previous phones have worked so well, and they could not offer me any good options, I'd have to buy a new phone at sticker price.

So I thought to hit up eBay to see what I could get. Then I realized, there are no phones out there that really call out to me as of yet. So then I had an idea, why don't I just get a phone that is easy to root/customize/hack, but use it normally until I do find a phone that does stand out to me. That way, when I do get a NEW phone, I'll have a secondary to "play" around with.

I am a software developer and know a thing or two about OSs and ROMs but not a whole lot. I've hacked various things like 360/Wii games down to the binary level, not "Hi I edited a text file and gave me more $$$ in my game, I'm 733t". That being said, I'm not interested in using easy 1-click install programs to customize the phone. I actually want to understand how it all works. Basically, I just want a phone that acts as a playground that I can just play around with. Any idea's what phone would be best for what I seek? Sorry, I am restricted to a phone that works on the Verizon network, but if there is a phone outside of Verizon that stands out too, I wouldn't mind hearing about it, but I need a Verizon phone unfortunately.

Also, I'd rather have a phone that has a little kick too (hardware-wise)...no sense in hacking an Atari when you can hack an Xbox, if you catch my drift.

I used Flashtool FOTAUnbrick, this got the phone working again, so I tried again, I flashed the generic UK 2.3.2 which worked fine, re-rooted and tried an OTA Update again and rebricked do used the FOTAUnlock again, working again, tried the PC Companion which said there was modified software and that it couldn't update.

So its not possible for me to use the phone companion and its not possible or me to use the OTA how do I get my phone onto 2.3.3 as the 2 official ways i've tried are bricking my phone

The idea is that when you unlock the bootloader you can't use OTA updates or pc companion updates to update your phone because you will brick it. In fact it should not even be possible to get the OTA update but this is bug at SE.

If you want to get the update there is 2 possibilities. First is to relock the bootloader and update either through OTA or through PC companion. Second is to just flash generic or rooted official image using fastboot. Here is the latest official firmware for the second method:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptdzastr:
I've run across some issues setting wallpaper on my most recent ROM, and none of the information I've dug up seems to help much.

When I attempt to set my wallpaper to an image, I get a selection gallery, and the system wants to use only a portion of the image. My research on the forums indicated that my image size might be the issue, so I switched to an image of the indicated size (960*800). Unfortunately, I still get a crop window to select only a portion of this image. I installed Wallpaper Wizardii; it assigns my image to the wallpaper with no apparent changes or stretching, which sidesteps that portion of the issue but does not correct it.

However, the plot thickens: the ROM I'm using allows me to set a lock screen wallpaper, and that process runs me into the same issue (though the selection window is portrait instead of landscape, as one might expect for a 480*800 image). Wallpaper Wizardrii doesn't address lockscreen settings, so I can't use it to bypass the problem.

If the image sizes I have are correct, why is it prompting me to crop the image? If they're not, what are the proper image sizes? Am I doing something else wrong?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Since you reference your "rom" a few times, it may be good to mention which rom you're using.

Have you tried resizing the crop box? I'm able to use the entire image at a max resolution of 960x800. I just have to resize the crop box to encompass the whole image.
