[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Ezence01:
I'm unable to access the updated version for some reason. I'm currently re-uploading the original version, give it about 15 minutes and try clicking on the updated link in my original post.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
Hello,

I've done something very silly to my Nexus 7. I wanted to manually install a new boot.img via fastboot, but in haste i ran 'fastboot erase bootloader' and now it doesn't boot at all, not even the google logo.

I've read about NVflash but I don't have the partition information or other files to flash something working, though it does seem to detect the device.

Any help will be appreciated. It seems many nvidia devices have various custom tools to recover from apx mode, so hopefully something can be found for the Nexus 7 too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onilink67:
You need the partitions for the 16gb or the 8gb version? I haven't done APX mode on the Nexus 7 but did on my old streak 7 and can probably pull off the files tomorrow (I have 16gb)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
That would be fantastic, I also have the 16 GB version!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
So, would this mean that even when you completely kill the N7 by corrupting the bootloader, you can STILL recover? :o

That would be amazing.... something I'd wish my other Android devices would have, kill the bootloader on there and it's hard bricked, dead.

I'll keep an eye on this thread, this is something I am absolutely interested in as well :)

P.S.:

Is there a way to read / dump the required information from an N7 while it's OK and running?

Like a backup for later recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
If you want to try it on linux, grab the All-in-one package from here.

To get it to boot into APX mode i held all three buttons while plugging it in. To confirm it is in APX mode run lsusb and you'll see something like:

Bus 003 Device 005:[B] ID 0955:7330 NVidia Corp.[/B]

After that, assuming onilink67 can get the files, we can run something like:

./nvflash --bct nexus7.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile nexus7.cfg --create --go

And it may restore the bootloader.

hopefully on onilink67 can supply some better info since he already has experience with APX :)

Subscribed! this is the exact problem i have run into. I cant get into my bootloader and device when connected.to the pc.installs a APX driver.by Nvidia
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clago87:
OP and onilink would the files and partitions frim the 16gb be the same or would i need someone with a working 8gb to pull them for me?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onilink67:
normally you want the one from your device since this actually copies partitions some will be different on the 8gb model
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
This would be great to get a working solution. I screwed mine by blowing up the bootloader on accident. Luckily I could return mine to staples. I had "some" experience with nvflash with my G2x but I couldn't get it to do much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clago87:
Yea i am unlock and on custom rom but i read somewhere asus doesnt void warranty for that. Since I'm completely bricked they shouldnt be able to see I'm on clean rom. Some wishful thinking but this does sound like something viable if i could get those filea and partitions I would definitely give it a shot before calling it quits
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onilink67:
So last time I used APX mode I had a bct file provided to me. IIRC if tegra 2 didn't like the bct file it would refuse to do anything so for the sake of my nexus I hope Tegra 3 is the same. I'm going to research this a little more and hopefully can get something to you guys soon. FYI these files are normally huge
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clago87:
Here is to Tegra 3 being a little more mature than T2 and it works for us. If not I guess I have a year to contact asus and send em my paper weight. Thanks for helping out
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
The commands to do the backup should be fairly easy once you're in APX mode, according to this post:

which will generate the necessary bct file, and partition info, and a backup of all the partitions.

The trouble is the bootloader.bin, I'm not sure where to get that for our device. perhaps we can back it up with adb/fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clago87:
might be silly but im guessing the bootloader info isnt in the img file nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72 that you can download from one of the many threads correct?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I have a (working) 8G model :)

Amazing, I am going to try that ASAP! :D

There is a bootloader.img in that download, I am fairly sure that's the one - not to be confused with the boot.img, which is the kernel AFAIK.

// EDIT

Narf, don't have a proper USB cable with me (at work ATM) so I gotta wait till home in about 9 or 10 hours :-/

nvflash must be used in Linux, right? There is no Windows tool for that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoyo17:
I did the same thing... don't know what i was thinking. Was trying to get back to stock rom and now this... *sigh. If you guys manage to find a way would be most appreciated. I'm new to this APX stuff so been randomly trying to backup and restore just the bootloader provided by google. Haven't had any luck. It's either unknown device errors, and i haven't been able to find out the SBK either. Total bummer... I'm assuming that we'll be in the clear after restoring the bootloader?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Maybe we need a nvflash version that supports the N7 or something.... where did the nvflash that's been linked to above come from?

We could ask nVidia for one.

Then again, I think this nvflash thing work with/for the Tegra CPU, so as long as it's provided with the proper input files it shouldn't be device specific - altough on that linked to page they had to use a custom binary to get things started....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
Use the nvflash from the nvidia driver package, found here:

The ones floating around for various devices don't work, but I was able to get some responses from my device with that one.

Now I've hit another problem: I've been trying various things on my device, and now I can't get it into APX mode. In Windows the device connected sound constantly repeats, so I think I've drained the battery, and plugging it into the charger doesn't seem to charge it :/

Looks like I'll have to send it back...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Reading through this it seems there is a great deal of more information / data / files we need before we actually can use nvflash in PAX mode....

The last thing ("flash.cfg") should be easy, I think it can be extracted / generated from a working device ("./nvflash -r --getpartitiontable partition.txt" should/could be it), but as for the rest....

Cool, thanks for that link, going to check it.

Yeah, the actual charging is handled by the kernel in LPM (low power mode), and it obviously needs a workgin bootloader to boot the kernel into LPM :-/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
Here's a good description of the BCT/ODM, http://projects.pappkartong.se/a500/

Secure Boot Key - I don't think we need that as our bootloader is not locked / encrypted like other devices, though I could be wrong.

BCT file can be pulled from the device

ODM data can be pulled from the BCT

flash.cfg can be generated with ABX once you have the BCT.

I tried using the Toolkit to root my SGS3, however, it didn't work.

Edit: Using Odin v3.07

I am trying to reflash it using Odin, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried unrooting and putting the original firmware back on, but I am getting this in Odin

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

At removed, the phone vibrates, and I believe it turns off/disconnects, so I don't think it gets the update. I am using the files that came with the toolkit, such as the boot-stock-i9300xxale8-gsm.tar in the PDA section.

I saw mskip suggest a Sprint flash, but I am not on sprint, so I don't know if this will work (It did work for the other guy, but as I said, I am not on sprint)

Does that Removed!! cause a big problem?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
are you sure you phone is in download mode and not in recovery mode while flashing? I have seen0that many people make this simple mistake
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
If you are talking about Sprint:

what is your device hardware?

If it's not i9300 you're in the wrong forum

If it's not exactly the same as the one your toolkit is for, you just softbricked your phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whereis404:
Unless download mode isn't VDown + Home + Power

I thought all SGS3s are I9300, but if they are different, mine has SGH-I747M on it

Now seeing that, I probably am in the wrong place

I can say that this app works flawlessly on JB for SGS3, had liveware and then updated to smart connect, smart tags are now able to do more than before.

something that I like from this new app is the ability to add a time frame for when we want to have some specific actions.

@deniz_S I think you can't stop any apps from smart connect, as far as I've noticed it

[Motorola Atrix 2] MaTrixJ:
Hey guys I didn't find any useful posts for this device with the same problem.So I started a new thread. Well I was googling and texting and all of a sudden my phone reboots. I thought well it's nothing and put my phone down, 15 minutes later I was hoping for it to be on and ready to be used and all I saw was Dual Core Technology. I rebooted it countless times to see if it'll come alive and no luck. I did root the phone awhile back and never had any problems with it until now.

I did try to go to recovery and all it shows is the android with an exclamation mark. I can get into fast boot and everything but I am a noob with fast boot so I don't exactly know how to wipe the phone by using that.

So I am counting on you guys to help me out. I don't even know if my phone is charging atm I just have it plugged into my power port and all it shows is Dual Core Technology and the battery is dead for letting it sit on that screen for about 30 minutes. I hope you guys can help.

Thanks,

Mike
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Have you tried to fxz back to stock using RSD Lite? If not make sure your battery is charged before doing so. That should do the trick. If you have a back up try the recovery. When the Android with the exclamation comes up hit both the up and down volume keys at the same time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Couple things we need to know mate. What firmware are you running? 2.3.5? 2.3.6? Or ICS?

These all play into how you are going fix your phone. And frankly your stock recovery is not going to do you any good with this issue. You WILL have to FXZ back, UNLESS you have a backup made in a different recovery system, IE: bootstrap, or bootmenu. Once again all dependent on what firmware you are on. If you can answer those questions, we can help you with the right procedure.

A good thread to start with is this one: Noobs guide to Android and the Atrix 2

It will give you all the info you need on the FXZ and fastboot.

More info and we can fix ya! :highfive:

EDIT: just saw your battery issue. Pull your battery until you are ready to flash in Fasboot. You need to conserve. How much battery do you think you have? Or is it dead? Flashing in FB and having your phone die due to low battery is a SURE way to hard brick your A2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MaTrixJ:
Oh and do you guys know what exactly caused this to happen?

Mike
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
It could've been caused by a number of things. The A2 is an unpredictable phone. Somethings that happen to one person may not happen to others. From my experience.

Did you make any changes to any system files or anything of the such? I see you was rooted, but did you have a custom ROM or custom recovery? I'm assuming since you tried to get to recovery and got the android on its back, that that you didn't have a custom recovery installed..

If someone knows the exact reason this happened, let us know. This is twice I've come across someone with this problem.

FXZ should work for sure though. All is well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MaTrixJ:
No I don't think I modified anything except rooting and installing cheesecake but I didn't use it. I don't remember having a recovery installed either.

What I did was use android recovery by pushing vol up and down and I reset it. Works fine now I lost root though so I'm going to reinstall it and reset my server on cheesecake because I can't add a motoblur account right now then uninstall it again Lol.

I really appreciate the help. I almost hate the A2. 2 phones 2 unique problems, like you said some people experience a issue that no one else has.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Ok mate it looks as though this is just a mod done to the build prop. Not an app or download itself. It is also something that is built into the spareparts app, maybe(?)

However I don't think this was designed to work on GSM phones.... and possibly on certain ROMS, IE CM7 and up. Someone can correct me on that if I am wrong. But this is all from me just doing a quick google search on the subject.

I'd wager you could modify the build.prop yourself, and mod it via ADB. Just MAKE A BACKUP before you modify your buildprop settings!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] independentdisciple:
This might be a stupid question, because it might be a simple solution, so here it goes:

I've been reading for hours on end on how to root my AT&T Fusion by Huawei (U8652, Android Gingerbread 2.3.5), and I just happened to come across a discussion from another user from this site on his success story http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1494843.html.

I tried downloading unlockroot, but when I click on the installer, a dialogue box pops up and just says "Preparing Unlock Root... - please wait..." It has been doing this for over an hour and nothing to show for it.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there another way I can root my Fusion? The main reason I want to root it is because I have a 16GB SD card that isn't being used because most apps and data go onto my internal storage (which is a real pain in the arse). I just want to portion the SD. Is there another way I can do that without rooting, if it turns out that I cannot root?

[Galaxy S III General] Roguesniper1:
Hey Guys, I came upon a fully functional S3 for sale. The shop keeper is ready to sell me the unit for half the price since it will do every thing except make calls. Now the weird part is , it does have a sim slot, but according to the shopkeeper it is a dummy unit which was used in stores for display. Phone fully works, both camera works, wifi works, it is the quad core version. Everything works except the call feature.

Now my question is, could it be due to hardware or software. If it is software related , then I am sure I can root it and install regular rom, but if it is hardware related then nothing can be done. I was ready to buy it and experiment but decided to ask here first. If it is hardware related then I rather not waste my money on it, but if it can made to work on cell network, then it is an awesome deal.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Check the imei, it's probably 111111111.

No you can't use it for calls unless you modify the imei, and you'd have to steal a functional one from someone else to do that.
