dont panic

I dont have an alpine, I have the universal and previously had the himalaya.

It is never that dire that it cant be fixed, so I have just butted in to alleviate your immediate concerns until somebody comes along more knowledgable on your device.

In essence, you will now need to put it into "boot loader" mode, which effective is a hard reset, without the reset process. It will kill your device and place into the "grey" screen of sleep, awaiting your instructions. Unfortunately, I dont know your combination buttons to do this, it might be found on "wiki".

Then you need to find the original Rom installation file, this can normally be found from your hardware provider, or alternatively again, wiki normally keeps a variety of released or cooked roms for your convenience and speed. make sure you have your rom of choice available.

Then plug in your device, allow active sync to run, generally at that point you will end task or terminate the active sync process, and then run the rom installation process directly. Sometimes this may fail the first time, so you may need to re-run it. I will assume for this that you dont have any device id errors due to cross upgrades across software manufacturer releases. This process or similar should work just fine.

Once you have done this, and "reflashed" your ROM, then, you can choose to take the "risk" of alternative upgrades such as camera's or radio roms whilst you have a nice clean Rom install.

First things first, DONT PANIC, it can all be fixed. Just hang on tight, get your preparation information regarding your choice of ROM software, do a bit of research, if nobody comes to the rescue soon, check WIKI or these forums for the combinations to put it into bootloader mode, run your original ROM of choice, reflash the device to get the basic operating system, then go from there.

Trust me, you are not the first, and you wont be the last. Treat it as a learning experience....

If you are desperate, PM and I will try to help, but I just dont have the alpine.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] pug:
Bootloader is the power, reset and d-pad buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds.

Make sure the device IS plugged into the mains power as well as the computer.

Just run the program again, it will work. It usually locks at the checking device info, just stop the process with task manager and start again.

Good luck.

D button?

By "D button" do you mean the big, round joystick button at the bottom-middle of the beast?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GregTheDude:
Noble instructions, no luck

Well simon_darley & pug, thanks for all the help and instructions, but my device (or me) is just not managing. Although I could place the device in boot loader mode exactly as described with Serial showing at the bottom, it seems that from there it has no basis to form another ActivSync partnership. So when I try to run ANY rom upgrade (including the current and older one from O2 site) the process hangs at either 25% or 29% during ext rom upgrade. I've seen another post where this happened to someone, don't know where/how he got what it took to recover.

The main flaw seems to be impossibility of forming the all-essential required partnership with ActivSync before one is able to reflash rom (unless flashing rom is some entirely different process). From boot-loader, partnering is not possible... is it?

Therefore, either I or my handset is a lemon and unless there is something I'm missing, panic and sending device in for factory rom installation seems only alternatives.

Would stil appreciate any solutions that I'm totally missing.... will be away rest of week from Wed morning, so one last chance if someone is up late tonite or early 2moro.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] pug:
AS isn't used during a ROM upgrade. If your still having problems I suggest another computer myself. Sounds like your computer is having trouble transferring data. Try another USB hub too, the hubs consist of pairs so try another pair. Try disabling any antivirus software too.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GregTheDude:
Wow! What a difference a day makes! ... in this case a USB port. Computers really are quite mystical. Now the thing acts like nothing happened at all and just syncs up like it was yesterday! Anyway, when am back Friday may gather my courage enough to make another upgrade attempt... armed with the new USB rifle.

Thanks for patience.

Cheap digitizers - No No

Recently got fixed my canvas 2's LCD display and Digitizer (touch) from nehru place for 2500/- the lcd display is quite acceptable at such price but the digitizer does not do any justice.

I ran a multi-touch test and it showed only two touch (where OEM digitizer is 5 point touch), calibration was also slightly imperfect and also the build quality of these cheap digitizers are very low when compared to the OEM.

If you use your canvas 2 for gaming then please do not go for these cheap digitizers, do your homework before purchasing any cheap digitizers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kvelez:
I have read dozens of articles on android wifi wpa_supplicant.conf and they all indicate the password is shown in the string starting with psk. My phone psk string reads something like psk =1373d41ea5a98e7a404ab6cd99 which would lead me to believe it is hex however when I put the string on a hex to ascii converter the converted password does not match the ascii wifi password entered. The wifi logs into router without a problem. What am I doing wrong when reading the psk string?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] imbmiller:
That looks like a hash representation of your password. You probably need a specific pwhash /salt decrypter

If you need the password I'd suggest looking into a Python app called wifyte, you can use it to run a wps pin brute force campaign against most routers. It does take ten hrs or so though.

Simple test report, especially dedicated to USERS, I test this rom withOUT wipe on purpose to see what happens, and it keeps popping up FC after FC, completely unusable, no easy way in, now that you hear it here, don't bother thinking.

Instructions by Terence is ALL GOOD.

phone is gone even with modem.bin, no phone number pad, wifi works straight out of box retained passwords, BT works retained paired, trebuchet settings are gone obviously, wallpaper retained. apks retained. rebooted several times to try something and always "Android is upgrade xx of 103 apps". first boot only 2 mins, not 20 mins, may be because I didn't wipe????

Another cm-11.0 build [cm-11-20131127-terenceng-p1-nogoogle.zip]

This build is the same as the last one [cm-11-20131127-terenceng-p1.zip] but without Google Play.

This build basically "reduces" the number of "FCs" during setup and is especially ideal for those

who freak out seeing those popups. Since it doesn't include Play Store, you will have to find a GApps

package yourself to go with it. It works with both odexed and deodexed GApps packages, but to take

advantage of ART, you need odexed GApps (you can see if a package is odexed or not by exploring into the zip package

and checking if it has the usual .odex files in it: if yes, it is odexed; if no, it isn't). Maybe you guys

can help recommend some compatible ones to go with this ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] terenceng:
First, under Settings | Developer Options, enable Advanced Reboot. Then you may reboot to TWRP from the system. Currently it can't

boot to TWRP from OFF state by pressing Vol-Up + Power.

You might wanna reinstall ROM and try again. It CAN reboot to TWRP FROM SYSTEM.

Did you follow installation instructions carefully? Did you wipe cache, dalvik, data, system before you flash? Try again.

GUYS, please do some homework first on ROM installation and read the first few posts of this thread and follow instructions. If you are new to this,

you might have to try again and again. And read the DISCLAIMER.

I'd strongly recommend either BaNKs Core or Standard if you don't want your /system partition to get too full (steer clear of PA versions, even their smallest is too big), if you overfill on gapps it will cause major instability and apps like g+ to constantly FC.

To boot into recovery mode, first you need to enable Developer options by pressing the 'Build number' (under Settings > About tablet) 7 (seven) times. Then go to 'Developer options' and then enable the 'Advanced reboot'. After enabling this option, press and hold power button, then select 'Reboot'. There should be boot to Recovery option.
