[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shane Oo Mac:
Concerning this issue, there is room for improvement by devs and users both.

I have to say many of the liquid items are not organized well. After so many issues due to this you would think at some point they would be cleaned up. Also while I agree folks should confirm they have the correct rom,files,etc before flashing, it takes verry little to add safeguards to a rom making it device specific so it will not flash to an unintended device.

Just my two pennies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Sorry but your phone is history. Get $50 and send it to the JTAG guy. www.mobiletechvideo.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed....

Very sorry, but it's toast until a JTAG restore is performed.....

And I agree with the above poster that the liquid links are a mess...

This is the second brick in a day I'm aware of, and I'm looking into reporting the faulty rom.....g

I'm in the process of that, and would appreciate the help of others sending reports also.

The mis-labeled rom is a bad damn deal.....g

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

I've contacted the general operations team for the site offering the rom...

I've also emailed the author of the site and asked for removal of the build..

It's really all I can do from here, as the build is hosted in Romania......g

oh man today has just been a bad luck for me

bricked my note

got two different blue screen error

burned myself while trying to shape metal

i will try to ship it to the JTAG

just one more thing do i need to get the usb dongle for $6 and also do i need to get the sim unlock.

when i bough the phone i had bough a unlocked version, will i be able to do that myself or since he is restoring it, it will need to be redone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
No parts needed, and you'll likely need to unlock again..

Good luck with the note repair, and I'm sorry your day has sucked so badly.

It'll get better ...g

I recently just went through the same exact thing, downloaded the same link and BOOM.......nice paper weight! But since my phone is from AT&T and I am in my first year, i just took it to the service center and they replaced it without asking any questions. Not sure where you live , but try the service center, not saying it's a guarantee, but maybe , just maybe, you'll get lucky

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
. . . Or any time. But "things" didn't go wrong, although that is the first time I heard of a bad link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
And what you did here and what you are recommending is fraud. You voided the warranty when you rooted it and flashed a custom rom to it. I wouldn't say you got lucky I would say you cheated the system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed ...

And it simply adds dollars too the price of new devices...

Claiming a repair after bricking it ..."is" fraud.

And advertising it will earn a bad reputation for life ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shane Oo Mac:
I have to agree here, at&t and Samsung have nothing to do with the root cause leading to the bricked phone. This cost will get passed onto the consumer, IE others and I who also had nothing to do with this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TechGoon954:
Hey call it what you want and I'm not telling anyone else to go and commit fraud, but the young lady behind the counter didn't bother to ask what was wrong, she just asked if I had backed up my info and I told her I wasn't worried about that. I apologize if I've offended anyone or whatever and feel free to delete my comments OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ktracho316:
**** it anything to get a new phone hahaha!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Good character and integrity isn't measured by what you get away with, but by what you avoid doing.

I'm grateful to hear some stand up for good decisions, including paying for a mistake. Too bad for the others who think it's only about what you can get away with. We pay your way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Well said ranger ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:
this is why i only trust xda and maybe... maybe rootzwiki for my ROMs and guides
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scottx .:
That's not fraud if its under warranty.

F att, they make billions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
sorry but rooting your phone is voiding the warranty therefore claiming warranty on it is therefore fraud at that point
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
It certainly is fraud. Once the phone was rooted ... The warranty is void. What did AT&T and Samsung do wrong here? How are they at fault? Other than selling to unscrupulous persons.

Edit:

So let me ask this... if you were to become intoxicated then get into your car and drive .. Wreck ... Would you then return the car to the dealer under warranty and expect a new one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yes ...ATT Makes a lot of money, and they will continue to do so. Even if it means raising prices on new devices and the plans that service them.

We, the consumer, will bear that burden regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.

Fraud is fraud, and we all pay the price at the register....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Gentlemen well said...to echo the fine comments below...well nothing more to say, they said it all....my comments are just

Thread Closed

and Thank You Members for being honest, those that do not do their homework and brick their devices...lesson learned.

But when you try to avoid your mistake and make false claims, well that is on you. I prefer to be the guy to just say I fubar'd my device and just pay the price...just me.

Thanks again.:good::good:
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Hello,

To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.

My Phone:

HTC One X

S-ON

Rooted

Locked bootloader

ROM: Android Revolution HD

CID: HTC__E11

I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.

What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.

The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.

I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from

htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.

When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.

If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.

Regards,

Pim
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The ruu doesn't work because it's an OTA ....its just an update file ! Not the whole RUU

http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe

this is the full RUU
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.

Do not put it on your sdcard.

Plug your phone into PC

Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.

Press power button to go to fastboot

Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader

Run your ruu as administrator on your PC by right clicking and pressing open as administrator

Follow the instructions on your PC to flash the ruu
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s

I connect my phone to my pc via USB when I am looking at these options on my screen:

- HBOOT

- REBOOT

- REBOOT BOOTLOADER

- POWER DOWN

When I type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, I get the following response:

" 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file ".

And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Regards,

Pim
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?

Have you ever used fastboot commands ?

Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB

Download this

http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU

And put the folder in c:\

So you have

C:\fastboot\ files in the folder

Open a dosprompt in that folder and type

Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Thanks.

I installed Windows to do this (Nothing worked on Mac, and things like this are usually easier on Windows than on Mac), and I forgot to install these things again.

I'll try this in a sec and I'll report here when I'm done.

Regards,

Pim
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Hello,

First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.

Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.

When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled... :confused:

I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.

Regards,

Pim

EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:

imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...

I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...

Regards,

Pim
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!

I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?

If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?

Regards,

Pim
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
Noone figured out the way to S-off for HOX yet, no.
[HTC One X] pim16aap2:
Sigh... well, thanks anyway.

Pim

****Sony Tablet S***

Hi guys. i need your help please, i'm really desesperate and sad.

My tablet 's original region is Mexico and I had 4.03 R1a version without root.

Later i rooted my tablet with "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v16" and everything ok

I changed the region to US and a i got the release 5.

This 12th december when the update R5A was ready for all regions, i tried to update my tablet and i couldn't, my tablet said something like "error code 5"

So I used the "S.onyTablet.S v1.1" by condi. and the operation was good , just one little detail didn't like me but it was not important and it is that my tablet still in 4.03 R5.

I tried one more time and the same result.

So i tried one more time (Here began my hell) .. and i saw one error in unzip process , something like crc error in system.zip file

First my tablet was in a Bootloop

Second i wipe and restore the tablet (another error) and now just stucks in sony logo

The Status:

No ADB is enable and my computer says in device manager "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Android System Recovery Works

I tried to install a OTA update from the links by stifilz. and nothing

My tablet says:

Verifying update package

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I used the OTA files version R5a.

nbx03_002 Mexico

nbx03_001 US

nbx03_015 Poland

nbx03_016 Poland

and more. and nothing.

ADB just works with Recovery

In command prompt in Pc "Adb devices"

appears:

adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

"a number" Recovery

i don't know that can i do. for now i have a expensive brick :(

Somebody can help me?

PD. I do not blame anyone. It's totally my responsibility
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Try to install the zip's again and then use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here.

Chances are that the incremental is too high to flash the updates.

Your tab boots? and has root??

Then you can edit /vendor/vendor.prop and change the incremental (say delete the last digit)

Then try to flash from recovery again. If it is not working the post the new recovery.log

This will tell us which region it is looking for etc and point you to the right file. :D

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Wow that is very unusual. That way is not going to work.....

Have you tried to disable usb debugging then enable?

You tried to remove driver and then reinstall. This is very weird.

I would normally suggest a factory reset BUT THIS WILL LOSE YOUR ROOT and you will not be able to get back without USB.

Seems the only way to fix would be getting USB to work and then using condi's Flasher.

Something is seriously messed up somewhere.

Atleast you have ROOT and can modify stuff.

How are you with code?? You could take the parts you need from flasher and put them in a script that can be run off the tablet??

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] stimme:
i'm lost

i'm no good programming, just know the basic or less,

I think the same, i need to get enable usb, and try to flash with condi's Flasher, But the ADB just works in recovery mode, i'm lost.

But, is there any way to activate USB from ADB?

I tried to get vendor file by adb pull /vendor/vendor.prop

-'remote objetc '/vendor/vendor.prop' does no exist .... i did this from ADB in recovery

The tablet Stucks in sony logo and the computer after seconds say "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Tried to reinstall driver?? It is different from recovery driver.....
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
“failed to verify whole-file signature”

Its intractable.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Huh??
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
I also faced the "failed to verify whole-file signature", because I installed the custom-install without -hack-recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] toby1064:
I don't see it mentioned in the forums, other than people complaining about the storage capacity of our phone. I went ahead and ordered an adapter cable and a 64gb usb drive. Plugged the drive into the adapter, the adapter into the phone...waited a few seconds for the phone to create a couple of folders on the drive, and voila! 58GB free space. To op check it I loaded up a couple of movies and they played great.

The only flaw I found was when you unmount the drive it just sits there, and when you remove it the widgets on your home screen crash. No idea why it would affect your widgets but oh well it works great for movies and that's about the largest file you'll ever use on the phone.

And files transfer off the phone onto the drive with astro as well.

I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned much, but it works, now people can stop complaining about storage.

If there are any differences between cables, here's what i used:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GGBYJ4/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_2

I think any usb drive will do, mine was formatted as exfat. NTFS will not work.

I considered getting some of the cheaper ones, but I just got this one to get the free shipping and hoping that it wouldn't crap out on me. I'm in Hawaii so shipping is stupid expensive, it's worth it to get over the super saver shipping hump!

Does your phone do the crashing widget thing when you unmount and disconnect?

I unfortunately dropped and broke the screen on my phone. Is this all I need to replace it? http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-s-glass-lens.html

Unfortunately no. The screen and digitizer are fused together. I've seen some talk about ways of separating using heat but there's a high failure rate busting the digitizer too. I'm in the same boat. Actually deciding to bite the bullet or wait for Nexus 4 to come in stock.

Have you called Asus support to explore that option and get the details of pursuing it that way? I can tell you that it's expensive. Call support and get the details firsthand. Don't worry that it's unlocked or whatever, it wasn't going to be a warranty repair anyway, right?

Hello there friends !

I'm having problem with my micromax funbook p350. When ever i restart the phone, it comes in factory default mode. I don't know what is the exact problem. I can't even install extra apk files due to that. So please let me know the solution for it. I want to flash my micromax p350 but i can't get the exact rom for it anywhere ? not even here....... and i don't know much about flashing android and all that so please help me out to solve this problems.

thanks a lot shimp for your kind response..! its okay that firmware is not available. I see that other firmware can work for it like ployer's momo9.

It doesnt go any further....Please help me what should i do.

anyways thanks !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Since you said your tablet was compatible with Ployer's Momo9 ICS firmware, I would recommend taking a look at this guide how to flash your tablet. First however let's try to get your tablet past the funbook logo. If you boot into recovery mode, then once in recovery select "Factory Reset" then after it finished preforming a factory reset select "Reboot System", the tablet should then reboot normally and you should hopefully no longer be stuck on the Funbook logo. I'm happy to help if you still have questions so let me know :).

thanks mate for your reply! i could have factory reset it but this funbook talk shows all chinese language on recovery mode ( volume button+back button+power button). thats why i'm unable to carry on forward. I tried a lot but no result. I also tried by downloading the file from gizmolord and still while flashing livesuite says image file invalid. please help shimp!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You could try flashing this working Clockworkmod Recovery image compatible with your funbook which can be found here which and also includes instructions on how to flash it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1802268&nocache=1.

hey mate as far your guidance on the link. I tried as it is said in it. But i can't access the sd card as my tab doesn't go further and it doesn't show the drive on pc. So how could i copy the files. Please let me know as per your experience.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You could try using ADB and fastboot with the command:

fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

If that doesn't work I would try booting into the regular recovery mode and using Google translate to translate the Chinese characters you see in recovery mode to English words so you can navigate the various options.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yooray:
but how could i translate the chinese character to english.

I can't type chinese character. but i tried english to chinese. it quite difficult to understand.
