Bricked Truesmart - 1900 1/8GB

Hi. I need help! I was trying to restore my Truesmart to the original firmware that came on it. I had a full backup that I performed with MtkDroidTools 2.5.2. I backed it up and then clicked "To prepare blocks for Flash Tool" when I backed it up so I thought I had everything I needed.

I just tried to restore that version by selecting the scatter file in the "!Files_to_FlashTool" directory. I used Flash Tool 5.1352.01 and loaded the drivers as Loki shows in his Youtube video ("SP Tools Full Firmware Flashing Guide") and started FlashTools.

I went to the "Download" tab, selected the scatter file from my backup and changed the option to "Firmware Upgrade" (this is probably what messed me up). It started something and very quickly gave me an error that files were missing. I looked and sure enough, none of my backups have cache or usrdata (I don't know why).

However, I am now stuck. My watch won't power on. I tried pulling the battery and flashing but when I connect it to my computer, it tries to install a new driver - "Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface #3", so I can't get flash tool to do anything with it. It also goes in a loop where it connects and then disconnects from the USB (get the connect/disconnect noise about every 45 seconds).

Any help?

Thanks!
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Uninstall your preloader drivers, delete the Alcatel drivers using usbdeview or Windows device manager.

Reinstall the drivers, pull your battery, and flash only the preloader using your scatter file.

Then, flash your full firmware image.
[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
Kuronosan, thanks for the quick response. I am a total noob at this and don't usually use Windows. How do I uninstall the preloader drivers? And I can remove the Alcatel drivers when the watch is connected using device manager. Is that enough?

EDIT: I turned off my wifi so the computer couldn't connect to windows update and it loaded the MediaTek USB VCOM driver. I had already hit the download button using my scatter file and only the PRELOADER selected. I had it set to "Download Only". At the bottom, it has a red bar saying "Download DA 100%" but nothing indicating if it is finished or if I need to wait for anything telling me it is complete. Can I disconnect now or do I need to leave it until something says it is complete?

Thanks!
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Usbdeview for the preloader. Device manager is good enough for Alcatel drivers.
[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
Ok. Now i am lost. After I got the preloader downloaded (my edit from my last post), nothing happened. So, I disconnected it and tried downloading all of the files. Again, got the red bar saying "Download DA 100%" and nothing more. So, I tried doing a firmware upgrade again and I get the same thing - "Download DA 100%" and then nothing. No yellow progress bar, no errors, nothing. What am I doing wrong? Do I not have the correct drivers still? Every time I connect it now, it uses the "MediaTek USB VCOM" and creates a new COM with incrementing numbers.

I'm sorry I am so clueless! I thought I had researched this and knew what I was supposed to do, but apparently I missed something.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Don't do updates. Only do download. Uninstall the drivers again, plug it into a different USB port.

The way you did it was correct. As I said, you need to pull the battery first.

And don't apologize. It's okay to ask questions.
[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
Well, I think I know a little more but still don't know how to get it working. I can't get it to load the MediaTek Vcom driver unless my wifi is turned off. Otherwise, it still loads the Alcatel driver. However, when it loads the MediaTek driver and does the download, it then tries to load another driver (usb device) and then, immediately, the watch disconnects, so the FlashTool never finished because it has disconnected. I am going to try it on another computer and see if i can get it going with a fresh install of everything.

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

So, no joy. It looks like everything starts correctly but once it downloads the file, I think it tries to re-connect the watch as a USB device (the MediaTek VCOM disappears and an unknown USB device appears) but it can't find a driver for it, so it disconnects. Any ideas?

I have removed every driver that I think could be causing the issue using usbdeview and removed the Alcatel drivers from Device manager. I try to re-install the drivers using DPInst64.exe but it appears they are still installed, even though I thought I had removed them.

EDIT: It isn't an unknown USB device that shows up, just a totally "Unidentified Device", it doesn't even know it is USB.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
You have to uninstall all instances (sort by name) in order for it to work.
[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
I went in to usbdeview and removed all instances of the MediaTek USB VCOM (Android) driver (using "Uninstall Selected Devices"). I don't know what else I need to remove. I get the same results every time - first a MediaTek VCOM driver is loaded and the flashtool downloads the DA, then I get the sound of a USB device being inserted and the MediaTek device disappears from device manager and it begins looking for a USB driver. The USB driver fails with no driver found and that ends everything.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Then you should check your cradle pins or battery terminals for a solid connection. That's the only other issue I can think of.

If you have an extra cradle you can try this. A bad data stream will cause the same error.

re: 512/4 stock firmware

Disregard..I just updated to 0527 by flash instead.

I have the 512/4 EU model where the "secret code" "worked?!" for google play. Can someone upload the stock firmware with preloader and all. My backup was incomplete. The firmware posted here is for the US model.

Thanks!

[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
Kuronosan - You da man!:highfive: It's alive (mostly)! I'm not sure what exactly did it, but I tried changing everything - computer, battery, backup (I had made three of them), USB cable and cradle. I also checked the pins on the inside of the back cover and found that I could see indents for 3 of the pins on the connector in the watch but the 4th didn't seem to connect. So, I loosened the screws and tried holding the connector slightly different and re-tightening them. Anyway, it is now able to download successfully!

Now, the problem is that it is stuck at the boot screen (I tried two of my backups - one was of Loki's EnSec and it stops at the screen with the moving lines and the other is the stock 20140120 and it stops at the "Omate truesmart" screen). Any idea how to get past this? I've never worked with flashing ROMs at this level, so I don't even know how to troubleshoot it and will need to be pointed to good directions on what to do next.

Thanks!
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
What unit do you have again?
[Ornate TrueSmart] unirambler:
I have the US 1/8 1900 that came with 20140120 on it.

After I posted last, I tried a full backup that I had downloaded way back when I originally put on Loki's EnSec. This backup had cache and usrdata in it and my backups don't for some reason. After flashing that, it is all booting and working fine. I am wondering if I messed up the usrdata or cache partitions and that kept it from finishing the boot process.

So, one question, how do I get those partitions included when I make my own backup?

Anyway, again, thank you for all your help on this!

Hi,

Could you re-upload your firmware (US 1900Mhz 512MB) I can't seem to access it from the link you provided.

Thanks
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
There is no US 512.
[Ornate TrueSmart] nrseife:
Kuronosan, when I try to download the tools needed to flash your rom my Vrus protection tells me it is infected ("All tools" zip file, if I remember correctly). I suppose this is a wrong warning?

Also, are there any "safe" unrooted ROMS available? My company policy does not allow rooted devices for their email, but of course the original rom is all but safe....any comments highly appreciated!
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Where are you downloading it from?
[Ornate TrueSmart] peacey3:
When I made the order that was what they said they are shipping to me.

I can't check now since I soft bricked my device but I know that I have 4GB of internal space.

Also I am trying to download the original firmware presented in this thread (the site doesn't seem to allow me to download the .zip)

Thanks
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
I'm sure there was a mistake, because they did not manufacture any units for 1900MHz that had under 1GB of RAM.
[Ornate TrueSmart] peacey3:
Did they have 1GB / 4GB capacity models? or only 1GB ram / 8GB storage?

Folks, really need some help here. I have the EU 1gb/8gb alumnium version. Just opened it a few days ago and i tried doing some rooting and flashing, and totally messed it up. It now gets stuck on the bootlogo. Just never gets past the bootscreen. I dont know how to fix this. I tried all the methods in this thread, and tried using the Omate_TrueSmart_20140513.103530_V2.0 rom i found in another thread. I never took any backups
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
Anyone, please help?
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Hold the bottom button, press the top button until you see bootloader menu, press top button to boot into recovery. Factory reset.
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
Kuronosan, thank you for that. I tried pressing the buttons as per your interaction, i reach the bootloader menu, and then any button i press just switches off the watch. I think it is not charging as well, i tried both the batteries (which are new) but whenever i plug in, the screen starts showing the battery charging sign, but the level never rises, have been charging for 4-5 hours now. I really dont know what to do, and what went wrong, i definitely did something while rooting and installing ensec. It went into bootloop first, and now once the battery is drained out, it is not even charging back up.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
You need to do a full restore using sp tools
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
Can you let me know the process for that, or point me to the right post? I wasnt able to find one place that had end to end instructions. The procedure in the first post of this thread is not working. The download does nto happen, whatever i try. I tried all the possible resolutions mentioned in this thread, but no luck.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Um, it's the first post in this thread.
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
hi kuronosan, i understand its in the first post. But as i mentioned, the method is not working for me. Is there any other way to do it, through sd card or something like that. I am able to boot into recovery (by keeping both buttons pressed) but even after factory reset it just gets stuck on the boot screen. Would really appreciate any further pointers on this, unless someone confirms to me it is now a brick.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Which recovery is it booting to? If it's TWRP you can download one of the kernels in the EnSec thread and likely fix your issue. If it's stock, the only way you can do it through recovery is to flash a new TWRP recovery using MTK Droid Tools. Then you can flash a fixed kernel/firmware. It's the only way to do it.

If none of those methods work, your watch isn't bricked. You just can't fix it.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Blufires:
Back in the WM5/6 and Android 1.5/1.6 days, flashing a ROM with the wrong baseband could permabrick your device. Is that still the case with this, or are wrong-ROM bricks recoverable with the right backups?

I'll be receiving my Dcool DW08 in a few days (exact same PCB as Omate). I've managed to get my hands on a scatter load KitKat ROM for another x201 clone (Zgpax S8) which appears to have the exact same specs/components as well (slightly modified PCB to allow touch buttons & soldered ext-SD). Would it be safe to try this, or are permabricks still a possibility?
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
What radio does that use? 2100 or 1900? And the name of the radio also matters And the only way to know for sure would be to look at the scatter file and project configuration.

TS Dev in Power Loop

Rezzin an old thread:

My TS is in a power boot loop, where the screen stays blank at all times, aside from a brief flash of full white every 6 seconds, when plugged in. It never gets past this, and it does it after a battery pull, and even without the battery in it. Windows just keeps making the USB connect/disconnect sounds on loop, every 2 seconds or less. I have a video of this.

I've followed the posts and tips, but I cant get it past this, which means the computer cannot interact with the watch. I've tried removing all old drivers with USBDeView & DevMgr, but I dont think that matters if the device cant get past the initial power sequence.

Hello,

is there kernel for this device with OTG support?

I am running this ROM:

On this device, both Dual and Single version kernels from this release are working, but i was not able to get OTG working.

(FXP CM10 sort of does not work because of missing GSM modem driver, but i did not tried if it have OTG support).

I tried OTG helper also with separate USB power and no luck, i also do not see any device detected in logcat or dmesg when i try to connect Flash or mouse.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabis94:
So I already posted before about a bootloop issue I had. I fixed it by completely rerooting from scratch by following Cyanogens wiki (including changing the firmware) and then it worked for a while, but then it started bootlooping again (no matter which ROM) I used. Then I rerooted it from scratch again and this time it's only been like a week and its starting to bootloop again. I have no idea what to do anymore, I mean seriously, what else there is to do, since I've already tried rerooting/reflashing?

EDIT: Could it be because I chose the wrong way to downgrade when rooting? Like in the cyanognemod vision rooting guide there are 2 options for downgrading, depending on if you have gingerbread or froyo. Everything did work when I did it, though, so I don't think it would be because of this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Can't say for sure, try and grab a logcat or last_kmsg

Also boot to bootloader and write down everything on that screen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabis94:
Here's the bootloader info:

logcat: pastebin.com/XXCPBFg1

last_kmsg: pastebin.com/Rrr8CWEh
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Everything looks good, kernel never panics and shuts off and logcat shows mostly normal startup processes. Maybe can you explain more your situation, like if you were to wipe all right now and than flash a new ROM would it work? Then latter on you get a bootloop, or will new ROMs just not flash at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabis94:
I've tried Cyanogenmod 7 and 2 other custom roms, all three just bootloop. Could it be a hardware issue?

And yeah I can install roms just fine, they bootloop after booting up, like a few seconds after it has started up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I wouldn't call it hardware just yet, each time you flash a new ROM does the bootanimation change? Also let's make sure you wipe everything before flashing a new ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348266

Here, in the first post, you will find a super wipe script and aio formatting script

Download these and put on sdcard

Now boot to bootloader and run these commands through fastboot (see the above link if you need help setting up fastboot)

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

Now boot into recovery and flash both the superwipe and aio wipe tool (just like flashing a ROM)

The above is overkill yes, but its best to be sure you wipe clean when having issues like yours

Now once complete do your standard wipes from recovery and flash ROM plus proper gapps (if needed)

Let me know what happens here

If in a bootloop can you grab some new logs again, preferably with the full bootloop in them
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabis94:
Yes the boot animation does change. Also, is there another way to do fastboot erase system -w and fastboot erase boot, without doing them through fastboot, because I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 and I've found no way to get fastboot drivers to work on this machine. Adb for example does work, so can I do it through that somehow?

EDIT: I didn't do the fastboot erase, but I did flash the superwipe and aio wipe tool and now after flashing a ROM, it has been stable for a few minutes now. I don't know if the bootloop will return, because previous times it had returned even after a week or two, but then again I had never used these wipe roms before, so who knows what will happen. We'll see, thanks!

Been searching around but only sellers I can find are in the states.

Failing that does anyone know if the prime or TF300 docks are compatible?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The UK only sold them as a unit together. Your best bet is look for a TF201 dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Thanks for the info. The ebayer I got it took didn't declare it was a us one I only found out when I opened the package up and found a us charger. Glad I didn't have to bid too high to get it.

I've got a prime already, will try it in that dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] graphdarnell:
The prime dock will fit the Infinity just fine. The TF300 dock will fit, if only loosely. If you want to use it though, you need to pad the back of the Infinity with tough cloth tape. You can't pad the front as it fits snugly into the dock on that side.

I just got my htc one last night,I have s off and it says it unlocked.my problem is when i go command prompt to install open recovery it shows that it wrote twrp then i click recovery it shows its booting into recovery but then it just restarts to the splash screen,Ive tried many times to get into recovery and just brings me back to htc screen phone boots fine.Ive tried to use goo manger to get into recovery which also shows entering recovery mode then it just starts up normal.So im not sure what the heck is going on.So info would be greatly apprecitaded.or should i use philz recovery does one work better then the other.I am also running 4.2.2 not sure if that matters or not
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azelk:
I'm also having this problem. I'm running android 4.3. I've tried TWRP and Clockwork Mod. I achieved S-Off and an unlocked bootloader with firewater.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fuzzylax:
i havent tried that will give it a shot .I deleted sdk and trying to reinstall it but for some reason its not loading the page to dl it.So if anyone has a file for that would be cool,where is the fastboot erase cache at im not seeing it any were.back in the day when i had the thunderbolt I never had this much problems
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img

You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2416431

No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fuzzylax:
so i still have know idea what is going on with this.I dl the miniadb from drop box [thanks for that by the way] extracted to new folder called adb dropped and dragged file openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 to the adb folder,held down shift and got into cmd typed in fastboot erase cache and hit enter it shows that it wrote it ,then I typed fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 add the .img to the end hit enter and says every thing went ok.so I unplug cable hit power button went into recovery hit power button again.it shows that it is going into recovery then just goes to splash screen and boots normal.I have usb debug checked,S is off and says unlocked.So im stumped hopefully you will see what im doing wrong with my procedure..thanks again for the info you have have given me so far.
