Same for me

I'm dealing with almost the same issue, except for my ODIN flashes it doesn't even succeed. I know this happened to it after I tried to use heimdall to update my CWM, but I have had no success getting anything to work. I've been without a tablet for like a week now, doing everything I can think of or find a walk through for. I mean for me, I wouldn't mind going back to stock as long as it works again. Here's what my ODIN is doing:

Two things to try:

If you can boot into recovery, try the factory reset.

If not, have you tried Kies recovery mode?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deucethehero:
The problem is that I can only boot into the special download mode, if I could get into recovery I think I could figure it out. I have tried the kies recovery, but it won't even read the device.

A Case of bad partitions

Try flashing with .pit file, partitioning set to on. Should correct partition problems. Somebody might have installed a non-android OS that botched. Look for a .pit file around the forum, you should find one. Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply

Hey guys, I could have sworn that I posted back on Friday, but it's not here. Anyway, it's been a crazy few days for me traveling and school starting and all that.

About the tablet, I downloaded a pit file and it looked like it was going to work, but unfortunately it did not. I'm working on getting the tablet charged and set up to try again because I got a zip that had 2 pit files, so I'll try the other one soon. I'll post the results when I get them, thanks again for all the help!

Still not working, but I think some progress

Sorry to take so long responding, it's been a busy week.

So I just attempted to flash the .pit again, and it failed. Here's what Odin gave:

It says, "There is no PIT," but that's what I'm trying to flash, right? I'm a little confused, but I hope someone knows what that means.

Thanks for all the help guys!

New info!

So today I was messing around with the .pit file that I had, and I used an editor to make it exactly the same as one I found in another forum. After Odin told me that it failed, I went to reset the tablet, and it showed me the Galaxy Tab 2 screen, which it has not done for a few weeks now. Then I plugged it in and it shows the battery charging symbol. Currently it is a 18%, so I'm going to let it charge and then try booting it up again and see what I get. Hopefully all is well now, but we shall see here in a few hours.

I also was not aware that I needed to flash the system along with the pit, and once I had that going it made a little more sense to me.

I'm going to try to post that pit here if anyone wants it. Hopefully it will help someone else in the future.

It worked?

Odin says that it flashed successfully, I got the pit problem ironed out and got it to work with Odin 3.07 instead of 3.09 which I was using. It went to reset the tablet, and then the tablet just stayed black. Won't boot if I hold the power button, but holding power + volume up gives me download mode. Any ideas?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] NewbieOnCloud9:
Movie Files On The MDA

I assume you have at least a 1GB MiniSD card for your MDa otherwise, do not bother with watching movies on it. As for the file extension, it should be pretty much the same ones that are played on a PC Windows media (.wmv) without using plugins. However, the MDA has DivX software you can download, which enables you to watch a larger range of movies or video clips (.avi etc). Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] spercK:
Hey everyone.

I have a question concerning CWM Backups. There are two folders.. "Backup" and "Blobs".

As far as I have realised, "Backup" Folder includes the requiered files to restore, while "Blobs" folder has the main "backup files" of each backup (rom,kernel, apps, data, etc).

Due to lack of storage (and for safety reasons), I want to copy and categorize backups to my pc.

Here's the thing:

Since "Blobs" folder contains files from every back up i make, how can I seperate them so i can successfully and properly categorize them?

With a backup, will i always be able to downgrade/upgrade to any custom firmware/original firmware, and or use kernels and stuff.

Unlock/Lock Bootloader.

Can i always go back to stock phone with drm keys and lock bootloader making it 100% factory stock?

And can i have a rooted device with unlocked bootloader + the drm functions working?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathurmatt:
The answer of all of your concerns is yes and yes you can always go to 100% factory state with your ta backed up ......

Assuming you will not mess up in flashing roms............;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xecu:
Are you sure? Cause what ive heard is, that you may backup your TA, but the DRM-Keys will remain forever lost.

For further information, this Thread questions the consequences of loosing DRM-Keys
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
Does not making a backup of TA = Backup DRM Keys.

And how can you screw up flashing roms?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes.

"And can i have a rooted device with unlocked bootloader + the drm functions working?"

Not sure about that, what I know if you Unlock Bootlader the DRM Keys are lost and they do not working. Anyway if you have Backup TA you can go back to Stock with functionally DRM Keys.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svid:
Downgrade to 4.2.2, root via vroot and use ta backup and you good to go. Did the same.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xecu:
So I got something confused there. Good to know that I can always revert to pure stock.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
Wrong. If you backed up your TA partition before you FIRST unlocked your bootloader, then your DRM keys are fine within the TA backup.

Test this if you like by downgrading to 4.2.2 WITHOUT restoring TA. Your camera will not focus etc etc

Now restore TA and as if by magic, everything is fine again (though your bootloader will be relocked)

[HTC One Max] mkhader:
HI all,

I owned multiple windows/android devices....like htc hd2 / sony eression eperia x 10, htc sensation, samsung note, htc onex, sony experia s, htc one, and finally HTC ONE MAX.

I was in every form ,at least finding a store for all htc RUUs /OTA , or official roms /firmwares for sony and samung.

and always getting help regarding anything i ever needed, except for HTC one max.

There is no clear RUU /OTA store. and personally , I didn't find even the shipped RUU for my device. the international version.

i refresh this forum so often everyday, and all i see , is the same outdated threads .

is it so hard to find ruus for the HTC one max? why it is so difficult?

believe me, i respect you all...

but it is really frustrating to own such great device, and all you can get is minimalistic/outdated mods... couple of custom roms, not more than 5 or 6
[HTC One Max] japodude:
ring htc and ask them why we don't see ruu. because it's like getting blood from a stone lol.

because of OTA on the device itself they dont see the need to release public restore ruu. as htc practically never fail updates.

i guess that end of day, they know people **** they're devices trying to hack em. so htc can profit by only them restoring it and trying to prove that tampering caused the fault!
[HTC One Max] thayl0:
Sorry but at this time I don't believe one has been releashed only ruu is the verizon and sprint ruu.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
The problem really goes down to the fact that this device is so amazing yet does not have a good level adaptation and marketing.

Moving from HTC One to a MAX i could understand your frustration, one of the BIG reason why the dev activity was slow here were the unavailability of kernel sources and only recently it was available. you would have seen couple of high quality devs working active here to get AOSP out for the device.

on the context of old threads, we are very close to the 4.4.2 update release which kind of makes the devs wait for the update so that they could work on them instead of 4.3.

It is true that the international MAX does not have an RUU available in public, i don't know much on public distribution of RUU's by HTC. I thought RUU's were only for the service centers to restore the phone.

For the international MAX, there has been only one OTA from the stock shipped ROM. The Stock ROM was 1.19.xxx.x and the OTA upgraded it to 1.54.xxx.x which was only minor, but i do appreciate having an repository and that is the reason why i posted a stock ROM.

As for the ROM's, personally i am happy having stock,hanks to Xposed! Viper has quite an awesome collection of tweaks on the ROM.

If you are interested in mod's you could try the mod's from original HTC One forum and afaik it should work.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niko.:
I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport somehow, but i had fully charged it and i was not out all day enough for it to run out fully... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it was stuck on the bootlogo.. so i went into recovery and tried to re-flash the rom and fix it, but when i was installing the ROM again, the phone shut off randomly (i heard that happened with a certain recovery menu software sometimes, i cant remember the name)... then the phone wouldn't charge and/or turn on, and when I connect it to the pc, nothing happens other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognize it...

So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...

Finally, i found a way:

1. Open RSDLite

2. Connect phone (no battery on it)

3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in

4. RSD will recognize your phone!

Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"

And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it before by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?

The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:

JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOL A_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf

EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?

I don't know what to do?? I read that defy's are really hard to brick... But mine got bricked out of nowhere.. wtf?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htto:
Hey there. Well, if it's still flashable it ain't bricked. I've got my other one to not be recognized (broken bootloader), which is beyond usual repair. So, did you you flash some random SBF before the rescue one you're trying out now? There's a problem with previously flashed GingerBread or Defy+ SBF images. So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?

Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.

If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.

If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet) ;)

Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niko.:
No, i have not flashed other SBF's ever... only CM roms but i did it through the phone itself, in recovery mode.. I'll try the 2.2.2 one you told me about and see how that works out!

EDIT: No luck, the phone stays at a black screen.. it wont even reboot when RSD is done flashing.. i have to take the battery out and put it in bootloader again for RSD to say it PASSED the flashing
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htto:
Too bad :( Anyway, did you try 8. from here, that is

"

If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now

"? Also holding Power and Vol-Down while inserting battery is said to work.

I wonder if there is an SBF that also flashes cache and userdata partitions...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niko.:
Nope, it just stays black-screened.... It only works if i do VOL-UP for bootloader mode, but that doesnt help
