That is main if not only purpose of boot jig or cable, getting download mode from a brick. That's what they're made for. Flashing wrong recovery shouldn't take out download mode, just the ability to get to it, hence the boot jig.

I had Tab S2 that was hard bricked. No power, not recognized by pc not doing anything and with all-boot cable it booted to download mode and flashed with power from cable I assume. Once flashed it rebooted to stock recovery, charging with 0% battery, left it in recovery a while to charge and all worked from there.

Besides, at around 3 bucks for jig it doesn't hurt that much to try.

I believe it would. If using one of the simplest jigs you would have to be quick to connect to pc once in download mode to get power to the device.

I believe it would. If using one of the simplest jigs you would have to be quick to connect to pc once in download mode to get power to the device. You would most likely need to disconnect battery hit power button for a few seconds and then reconnect battery before attempting. Reconnecting battery stops loop most of the time. Don't try turning it on or touch anything after reconnecting battery go straight to jig or Martview all-boot cable. It worked for me.

Thanks for the advice. I have bought a USB jig, and just now I have read that it works on Qualcomm devices. However, my phone is an Exynos variant. Will it still work?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I own a jig, I've owned one for several years, I know exactly what they do, what they are for and in which cases they do or do not work. No, it does not work on a hard-bricked device. If it works on a device then that device was only software bricked, not hardware bricked. In fact, in most cases, it doesn't work. It is just something that has a "chance" of working "sometimes". Typically, it only works on devices that do have some kind of functionality such as still being able to charge or doesn't boot to download mode or recovery via button combination but at the same time can attempt to boot but gets stuck in bootloop.

In my experience, whether it works or not is conditional and on a case by case basis.

I am under the impression that the 301k Ohms resistance is samsung and not chipset specific
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your device at least attempts to function, then, yes, the jig might help you. But, if your device shows no signs of activity at all, the jig won't work for you.
[General Questions and Answers] StrongTea:
When you mean software bricked, would flashing the wrong recovery on a device causing it to lose its bootloader fall under the category?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It didn't lose the bootloader, you corrupted the recovery partition which caused the bootloop.

If it is just a simple bootloop, flashing the firmware has a good chance of repairing the bootloop. But, keep in mind that flashing the wrong recovery on Samsung devices can corrupt the software and/or the ability to flash the device via Odin or even damage the hardware, making it very difficult to repair the device.
[General Questions and Answers] StrongTea:
Since I can't access Odin mode by regular means, and I just need that to flash the stock firmware, would it be safe to say that the USB jig would work? And what did you mean by them not working all the time? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, it might work for you, no guarantees.

What I mean is exactly what I said, it doesn't always work but is worth a try.
[General Questions and Answers] StrongTea:
I understand that it doesn't always work, but how would that be possible. Thanks for the advice so far.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because it can't work on devices that don't have any functionality at all.
[General Questions and Answers] StrongTea:
Oh ok lmao. My phone does actually turn on, it's just that it shows the samsung logo and the bootloader warning.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Only one way to find out if it will work for you.
[General Questions and Answers] tek3195:
May be that I got confused on a couple things so I have to ask. How would flashing wrong software create hardware bricked device ? How would jtag box fix hardware issue ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't say the two were connected or associated to each other.

Flashing the wrong software can cause damage to hardware due to(but not limited to) a combination of Samsung Knox and Qfuse, software and hardware components designed to disable the hardware's ability to boot in order to prevent booting unapproved software.

JTAG does not repair a hardware bricked device, replacing the hardware is really the only solution to hardware faults. JTAG can, however, not only repair the device's ability to boot, it can also bypass bootloader restrictions to allow unlocking bootloader and allow flashing as well as booting custom software.

Quick 2¢ worth from me:

Though I'm certain I've not stumbled upon the only way this could induce a hard brick scenario, I can offer one example from my experience.

Two very similar devices, one [SPH-L720], the other [SPH-L720T], and I inadvertently attempted to apply firmware for 720 to the 720T -- or possibly the converse, memories fade.

Result... recipient device's modem clocked out within ten second thermal criticality.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
I have an LG LM-K500UM, boost mobile. I cannot locate working tools to flash it. I can find firmware, from T-Mobile, apparently the stock rom. There is a scatter file in that firmware, but it is not in the proper format so SP flash tool refuses to play nice and recognize it as a scatter file. The CPU is mt6762. Furthermore after extracting the files to a format I can look at, SP flash tool does not recognize any of the images as a proper ISO or image file so therefore I cannot begin to flash any of those images using SP flash tool . But since I don't have a working scatter file that doesn't matter anyways. So anywhere I can be pointed would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] tek3195:
Would editing the scatter file help? Does spft say it's invalid or just not recognize it ?

I think you have to use lg flash tool, spft won't work.

https://lgflash.com/

When an LG smartphone gets errors with applications that installed in the standard Android OS or with third-party apps that manually installed by the user, the reliable solution for the manner is to flash the mobile device by means of lgflash tool. The total credits for creating the application goes to XDA developer "quangnhut123". If any matter arises while configuring Android Marshmallow or higher versions, take the turn to download LGUP tool and you will able to flash KDZ files on LG OEM devices by means of the regular LG flash tool. The developer credits for LGUP flash application acquired by the app developer "shakeyabooti". Use this flashing tool for the best results of revamping devices from software issues.

As mentioned in the post above, you may also need to use LGUP in the process.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
All you should need is to install Windows 10 on a bootable USB then boot into BIOS and set boot priority to boot from USB first. As long as the USB is inserted, it will boot Win 10 when you boot. If you want to boot Win 7, just remove the USB and boot without it inserted and it will boot Win 7.

Do you have a BIOS to set boot priority? If not, I'm not sure you can get it yo work without having a way to tell it which drive to boot. You "might" be able to use the grub bootloader or something similar to allow you to choose which OS you want to boot from a menu that you will be prompted with when you boot the device.
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
You could try to partition your USB into two. And install each windows to a different partition. Haven't tried it, don't know if that's actually possible. This could be an idea. Or you could use another USB as well. You might lose both windows os if the USB becomes corrupted.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
I think LG just modified the actual format of the file. SPFT says it's invalid. The text is also different than it should be. Some words are missing, its all on one line etc. It would require major rewriting, I've thought about doing it but its a LOT of work.

I have tried both and one asks me for login information to which you can't sign up to receive. And the other tells me it "can't run the program". I'll try reinstalling. I'm using windows 7, but can dual boot Ubuntu 16.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

If, assuming the scatter can be reformatted properly, why not SPFT? I ask because I don't really need to flash the firmware. I really just need to wipe it all, all partitions of all data. Normally running SPFT to flash stock firmware and the rest of the 9 yards, does a more thurough job of a reset. However if any of the mentioned tools do an equal job of such, I can use those.

There is standard android recovery, and download mode. Do you happen to know if there any commands I can run from a command prompt or linux terminal?
[General Questions and Answers] DIR49DNOR0N:
I have a couple basic questions about VoLTE, Wifi-calling and the "carrier service app", because i have not used it before. I hope it's simple enough so you can help me.

Do i need the "Carrier service app" on my phone to make a VoLTE call ? Or is my phone able to make a VoLTE just by enabling it in the settings? ( I can see the VoLTE label in the top of my screen )

What are the advantages of using VoLTE versus a regular phonecall, and do i need it ? Is it more secure, better?

How can i tell if i am using a VoLTE, so i can verify that it is working?

Lastly, if i am making a call, or videocall with whatsapp,telegram, or another messenger app, do these apps rely on that service, or do they work on their own?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Boot both at the same time? Or do you mean a simpler way to boot between the two?

If your hard drive has enough space, you could partition the hard drive and have Win 7 in one partition and Win 10 in the other. You would have to use the bootloader that I mentioned(or similar software) to choose which to boot when you power the device on. But, either way, you can't boot from one to the other without powering off then powering on and choosing the other OS to boot. You would have to do this whether you had it installed on hard drive or installed on USB. Both ways require powering off then powering back on and choosing which OS to boot, unless you installed Win 10 on a bootable USB then set boot priority to boot USB first. This way, you wouldn't need the additional bootloader, you would just need to insert the USB when you want to boot Win 10 and remove it when you want to boot Win 7.

Installing them "alongside" each other on the hard drive will be the least likely to have any potential future issues.

The only way to go from one to the other seamlessly would be to install Oracle's VirtualBox in Win 7 then install Win 10 inside VirtualBox and boot Win 10 in a VM(virtual machine) running inside Win 7.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably you found the recovery ROM with a non-major update where the scatter file is just a set of orders to be executed in recovery mode not suitable for SPFT

This LGUP version works in some cases that the official doesn't https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295

SPFT can be eventually used on devices with MediaTek processors but this device clearly doesn't use it cause doesn't have the ROM in the proper format to be flashed through it, this means that you firstly would need to adapt the scatter file, then extract the images from the kdz ROM and then try to put it in download mode (not the LG download mode) but using test point; trying with a generic scatter made for a device with same processor could work on some images and you should try it one by one; If you have available recovery mode then you can format from it or if you have available fastboot you can erase some partitions from it carefully.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your carrier has control of whether you can use VoLTE or not, and whether or not they even offer VoLTE for your specific device. If your carrier does not support or offer VoLTE for your specific device, there is nothing you can do on your end to enable, they have to do that from their end.

The multiple postings and posts appearing 5 minutes later are due to poor network connection/service. When the network is slow, this is a potential result. I've dealt with it for years here at XDA. It isn't a problem you or XDA can solve, the problem is the network itself.

Hi, I am new in XDA, create the account as I could not find the answer.

My question is about physical mouse click.

I have and Android 10 device and I have connected a physical mouse.

Everything in is fine except that in a game apps (Fate/Grand Order, FGO) the mouse click looks not working (the cursor is shown but click doesn't do anything in that app).

In another hand, I have used "Quick Cursor" app which could simulate a tap in the game. (Quick Cursor create a virtual cursor a simulate a tap where the virtual cursor is)

https://www.xda-developers.com/quick-cursor-android-app-one-handed-control/

From this I have got the following question:

Is there an app that can simply simulate a tap using accessibility service (similar as quick cursor) but at the same location that the physical mouse cursor in a specific app?

(ex: physical mouse click at location X,Y > Simulated Tap at location X,Y)

Thanks for any help

I have finally gotten uppercut to work with LGup, however the application crashes as soon as it starts doing anything period before I was getting an error message about a dll file. I still occasionally get that message, "device is 9xxxxxxx, LGup/uppercut is always a lower number. And I have not been able to find a replacement or extension dll file or pack to get it to work. I have also found another tool on GitHub called LGLAF. They are Python scripts that are supposedly designed to do some of the same things. The only thing I can get to work is a python script in which device information is dumped. Otherwise it just repeats the error of something along the lines of "laf...... permission denied". I am not at my PC right now so I don't have exact words except for the permission denied part. It does not seem like any of the present day tools used to flash LG phones are available to the public or at least we have not discovered alternative ways to do this . There is only one firmware release for this phone I believe. I have also looked at the build prop through the recovery logs. Not that it helps at all but it is a trouble-enabled device and if I can ever figure out how to flash a system image I can flash a generic one. There is a standard Android recovery on this phone however the option to reboot the device into bootloader just reboots the system. I can't get any ADB to recognize the device even if I select the option to side load a zip file in recovery. I can get zip files to attempt to flash on an SD card but they fail signature verification.

All right let me be as clear as I can without breaking any rules. I need to somehow wipe the partition that stores the data for the three letter abbreviation that begins with the letter F and ending with a P. With mediatek devices I'm used to using SP flash tool which generally does the job it needs to do. Since I don't have that luxury I have to figure out a way to flash the device with the same files SP flash tool used to clear that data on other devices.

If you already have unlocked bootloader you could boot to fastboot and try with "fastboot erase userdata".

I'm not sure if this last should work but probably you could try it; if you are unlocked you could re-lock it then re-unlock it and this would do the trick.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Unfortunately I don't think there is fastboot capability on this device. In Android standard recovery, there is an option to reboot to Bootloader. However that option just reboots the system. I was also hoping by booting to safe mode it would disable that set up application and go directly to the home screen unfortunately that did not work. But I can get in the safe mode not that it would make any difference anyways.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t think that on Boost mobile, bootloader can be unlocked, in this case is not too much what you are able to do through it, anyway probably not even is enabled fastboot mode due to the same reason; if bootloader can´t be unlocked then is useless.

I don´t remember if you mentioned trying a factory reset through factory mode usually pressing both volume buttons untill you feel a brief vibration.

You could try with LG Mobile Support tool to download a suitable firmware for your device and in case you didn´t see that this look like it is for your device https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a0w-1uWaxo3PkcYCuR2-NR6pNLqx9VBR/view
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
It could very well be an oem feature where things don't appear to be what they are. For example redirecting the bootloader mode to reboot the system, or not allowing mounting of an SD card while in recovery. It also could be you can't access fast food unless ADB is enabled.

I don't care if the bootloader can be unlocked or not. I'm probably going to end up selling it assuming I can get into it. To put things in the perspective it took me almost 8 months to figure out how to crack that three letter abbreviation beginning with the letter f and ending in the letter p on Samsung devices. To be precise on my Galaxy S7. I just happened to know that with media tech devices flashing certain images sometimes vbmeta will bypass that abbreviated word. I really do need something just as simple as that. Or even an engineering kernel. But that is a fat chance
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Ok, I pretty understand what you mean with this, it's something like to enable fastboot mode or get Qualcomm 9008 on Samsung devices, in the case of your device you have a double or triple handicap here cause the bootloader is locked and probably also you can't cross-flash a different firmware.

The thing I am not catching is what role those letters play and on which partitions are supposed to be placed. If they are on the data partition deducing from your words that a flashing tool can erased them then it wouldn't be so difficult to just erase this partition by replacing with a different image over it I mean overwriting the old image with a new one i.e. with a normal flashing like SPFT does, nothing out of this world but yes, it do flash at a very low level; in download mode, a thing that also is available in LG devices using LAF protocole. It wouldn't be required nothing as an engineering level to do that although some LG devices happily have something like an unlock.bin (eng boot) available due to some popularity of a certain model.
