My me172v is bricked!!!! it stuck at boot loo..... Anyway to unbrick this device??? Or we can flash the stock rom with pc???:confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lov3miku:
Can you upload your backup?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
No, you need system partitions dumps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Well yeah just make a system dump and keep it somewhere on the pc as a backup. And you should be able to get an OTA even after root but you will loose root.

You bricked it. If restoring a system dump doesn't fix it, you will have to send it to a service center. Next time please do read around before typing in commands like this.

I'm afraid that it is not always the case, as most of the tablets still get into the loop when using the reset button. However in your case it could be related to root, or the CWM (if you have it installed)

Getting Mock Locations to work

I've rooted my ME172V - but no matter what Googled answers I find and try, I cannot get this device to access Mock Locations.

Using the tool "FakeGPS" to set a mock location, no GPS type app (Google Maps, Maps, GPS Essentials) recognize the location. I want to use TetherGPS to make this device my Navigation device tethered to my phones GPS.

this exact combination of tools (FakeGPS/Maps/GPS Essentials) work fine on another 4.1 Tablet I have access to.

Has anyone else successfully used Mock Locations on the ME172V?

Mine happens to be a US Firmware, which is definitely different than other locales.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andretti_:
This evening I unlocked my phone and upgraded to CM7 stable. However, as soon as CM7 booted, I saw that I had no bars, and was unable to place calls. Also, when I view the IMEI and baseband version, they both say "unknown". I tried CM7 nightly, as well as fruitcake 4.5.141. Additionally, I tried the 37P and 37P att 12dec2011 radio updates, which did not work either. The wifi works fine.

edit: The radios were flashed with CWM (I wasn't getting any signal pre-flash, FWIW). Also, I wasn't able to save APN's when trying to add them.

Is there anything else to try?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
I would look at putting your APN again. If they aren't saving when you've put them in manually, then it's because you aren't putting them in correctly

Just to be sure everything work you can try to flash a known stable CM7 version like Neutrino or TopSmart after a full wipe. Nobody got radio problems on those rom

You should check if you are s-off or s- on... Boot into bootloader (volume down + power) and see what it says on top as far as Locked, s-on, s-off. You need to know as it will change some methods depending on if you are s-off or not.

I have an s-off'd custom rom with AmonRa recovery... offered update??

I just want to have it ignore the update.

Apparently, the software doesn't know the

recovery system is not stock ... so it tries

and fails. I wonder if there is a way to extract

the new fingerprint to trick the update process

into thinking the updates already applied?

Or is there a way to just suppress it all together?
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
Well I'm pretty much chicken so I'm basically stock but rooted but the ota update keeps falling. I tried unrooting so the update could work but it still failed. Not sure why...
[HTC Rezound] Madnapali:
Same here

I am having the same issue, as well. Rooted, debloated stock sense. Recovery is Amon-Ra.
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
So I read another thread that made it seem like I needed to re-lock the bootloader so I did that and now when I try to update it goes into the bootloader menu instead of starting the update. Do I need to unroot or do another step for this to work?
[HTC Rezound] DogzOfWar:
Did you debloat at all? I was stock+root (no debloating) and the install went fine.
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
Well, when the ota update downloads and you press the button to update, the updater immediately begins to check the system utilizing a checksum system for any modification, such as a deodexed system/app folder or binaries that weren't originally present. It wants to make sure all system/apps are still there and untouched and all the binaries are still kosher. If it detects something is "off" it will usually abort. If everything checks out it will boot to bootloader and attempt to install the update in the stock recovery. It will fail here of course if a custom recovery is installed.

You can kill your phone from even attempting to check for any otas by using Root Explorer or something similar, go to system/app and add bak to the end of each of these files:

HtcCOTAClient.apk

HtcCOTAClient.odex

You want them to look like:

HtcCOTAClient.apkbak

HtcCOTAClient.odexbak

You could also remove them.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
I have an s-off'd custom rom with AmonRa recovery... offered update??

I froze that with TiBu but it still shows up

as a pending update.

Experimenting, I tried freezing HtcDM

apk and service and the notices went away.

Is that safe to leave DM frozen, (what else does it do)?

My intent is to just prevent this a future OTA

updates auto-installing while I asleep. i woke

to find myself looking at a failed attempt

and hung in AmonRA, I rebooted to normal

and everything runs as normal.
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
Not to be a PIA, but why freeze if you can just add bak to the end of the file name and you will achieve the same thing? If you ever want to go back you just delete the bak?
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
So for me it sounds like I need to get back to a stock recovery to be able to successfully perform the update?
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
Gee thanx for the help people...
[HTC Rezound] TheRealDeadApe:
You must be on the stock recovery to take an OTA. The stock recovery performs the update. So flash the stock recovery and then do the update or deal with no update.
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
Is there a way to flash the stock recovery without it wiping my phone?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Unless you're running a completely stock rom (with nothing removed), you won't be able to install the update anyway...

If you want to stop it from trying to come down, delete or rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.

As for re-installing the stock recovery, you probably would need to RUU your phone unless it's s-off.
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
So if I do a back up, then go back to stock recovery which will wipe my phone, then perform the ota update, will a restore revert the ruu back and I'm back to square one, or does the ruu not roll back?
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
If you are on a stock rom you should be able to flash the stock recovery from fastboot without wiping the phone. Just find the recovery.IMG from the 605.12 ruu and flash it in fast boot to your phone. Then take the update and when complete flash your custom recovery in fast boot again and flash su zip.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
A restore would not overwrite any of the firmware on the phone, just the rom.

As dottat pointed out, you can download the latest RUU, extract the recovery image from it and flash that via fastboot. I'd still back up your rom with your custom recovery first in case the rom pieces in the update bork something...
[HTC Rezound] fivedezs:
Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find the stock ruu?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Check androidpolice.com, it's over there, should be able to search for it...

Subject: T-Mobile upgrade

From: John

Date: 06 Jan, 2003 04:42:03

I have no idea how I found this forum. I am sure I am over my

head being here, and under everyone else's but I'm really hoping

that you don't dump this, and that someone may be able to answer

my question. I feel like I accidently fell into the Star Ship.

I upgraded on my T-Mobile Pocket PC (Philadelphia area USA),

successfully shortly after it's release. Did it all according to

instructions including hard re-set.

Everything seemed to go very well afterwards.

Several days later, I was(stupidly for me) messing around in

File Explorer, found and tapped a file labelled "rsupgrage"

dated 11/25/02 w 34k".

Bang! It started a new *brief) upgrade process but with out the

requirement to hard re-set.

BTW there is a 2nd similar file marked "rsupgrade" dated

10/18/02.

.

Currently;

DEVICE INFORMATION:

ROM version: 3.14.40 ENG

ROM date: 11/26/02

Radio version: 6.18

Protocol version: 324e4

Model No: PW101B1

Platform: PocketPC

Aside from the fact that in the little box that comes up

when the phone is on there is either no carrier name or T-

Mobile name (simple lettering, no logo), I am not sure that

nothing happened to screw up the original upgrade process

which went with out a hitch.

Everything still works, I think, quite well.

I would appreciate someone checking their settings after

their upgrade and comfirming that all mine are ok. Especially

"Radio version".

Or do I have to do the whole thing all over again?

BTW, I am cured of venturing into File Explorer!

Thanks

From: FintonK

Date: 06 Jan, 2003 11:47:50

Hi,

you have accidently downloaded a radio version 4.14 which is

meant for O2 Europe, probably from www.o2.ie

This is designed for 900/1800 Mhz band, not your US 1900 band.

You will have to get a Radio Stack (RS) designed for your MDA.

happyone80@o2.ie

Subject: T-Mobile Upgrade

From: Chris

Date: 15 Jan, 2003 08:39:17

John,

Actually it sounds like you simply "re-upgraded" your Radio

Stack.

The T-Mobile USA update that's on their site includes the two

rsupgrade files (an executable and the ROM image) as files in

the CE ROM image that the main upgrade did.

Because these files are part of the ROM image, they don't take

up any space, but they do hang around (visible in File Explorer)

after the upgrade.

Basically, the part of the upgrade that happens while your phone

is on the cradle upgrades your OS, then, when you first

re-booted, that executable gets run and upgrades the Radio Stack

(what people on this forum call the GSM ROM.)

So, you didn't do anything too terribly wrong, just re-ran an

upgrade that had already happened -- and since the upgrade was

allowed to finish, your phone should be working fine. That

version is the correct T-Mobile USA version at the moment...

it's the one that shipped with the upgrade.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] hundred_miles_high:
Best calibration routine for Android that I ever found is:

1) Run the battery flat so that the phone turns off.

2) With the phone turned off charge it fully to 100%

3) Unplug from charger and turn on (avoid using the phone yet)

4) plug back into charger and charge back to 100%

5) unplug phone and use as normal - your battery should be now properly calibrated.

On Sammy Galaxy W battery calibration was a real PITA, this method worked well every time (as long as you follow it properly)
