Have you tried connecting your device to the PC via fastboot (hold vol up while plugging the device to the PC)? Doing that should present you with a screen with options (scroll through them with the volume buttons and power button to select), one of which is "reboot to system". Try this and see if this works.

There are two rules in life for being successful:

1. Never reveal everything you know;

2.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SaHiLzZ:
Yes I can get into fastboot mode. I'm able to boot into OS, just not recovery.

I have a doomkernel installed as well in attempt to get into recovery but nothing yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Did you try any of the methods I posted to get into recovery? Just a guess but adb reboot recovery may not work as I think they use FOTA kernel partition for recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Sorry, i misread your post. Does the black screen you are on when you boot into recovery have any kind of drawing (exclamation sign, android on its back with an open chest, etc)?

You might have to flash a recovery again...

Possible Brick?

Okay, so I just got my Z Ultra GPe and it updated to 5.1 OTA just fine.

I went ahead and used the legit Sony website method to unlock the bootloader.

I was able to follow the instructions here to install a custom recovery (TWRP) which works just fine. However, I am now unable to boot into the OS. Worse still, I get the Sony logo at first boot which never happened before.

At first, it would sit on the "No Command" screen with the little dead Android guy. Now it just sits on the Sony logo until I press down on the volume rocker to get to TWRP or up to get to CWM. Puzzlingly, from time to time, I'm also able to get to the stock recovery as well.

I have tried downloading and re-installing the OS as a .ZIP file to no avail. I keep getting Status 7 errors, specifically with the BasicDreams.apk having "unexpected contents".

I hope I'm not FUBAR. Any help would be appreciated.

*EDIT: So here is what I've learned after several hours of backtracking. I installed the wrong recovery. How I fixed my problem was 1.) Flashing [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]'s first version of his kernel using the latest FlashTool from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2769608

2.) I was getting Status 7 errors trying to ADB sideload the original stock KitKat ROM. Turns out my device was reporting itself as "togari" instead of "c8608". I found the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

Which led me to download the stock firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2574264

I then unzipped it and modify the updater-script file as per the Status 7 error thread. In my case, I replaced "C6808" with "togari":

getprop("ro.product.device") == "[B][COLOR="Red"]C6806[/COLOR][/B]" || abort("This package is for \"C6806\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

I re-zipped the contents and did another ADB sideload and VOILA! I'm reverted back to stock KitKat GPE.

Hope this helps someone else like me who leaps before looking!

I have an xperia ultra running resurrection rom and recently picked up an ultra gpe - it is running the latest cm12.1 dated august 8th - my question is that it has the cyanogen recovery and i would like to get twrp on it the same as on my non gpe ultra - how would I go about doing this ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xdause:
Hi guys. I searched and getting a little confused over ftf and gpe threads so I was wondering if someone can tell me if you can downgrade 5.0 to kitkit 4.4.4 with locked bootloader? If you can point me to the post or thread that would work for the gpe that would be great. I can only find the 4.4.2 ota. and i read you can use sony flashtool but that's in the regular ultra board.

Thanks for any info.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Short answer is no. If your bootloader is locked, you cannot downgrade. There is a longer answer but I think this should provide the answer you are looking for :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xdause:
Thanks. btw. can you tell me what rom you are using? I'm looking at the candy 5.1 but there seems to be some issues with it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xdause:
I'll follow your lead. With my 5.1 upgrade broken as an example. Not going to risk it for this phone. Last sony device for me. Won't be able to keep up with the details from keeping it from bricking. Thanks again.

BTW. Anyone have the 5.1 FOTAkernal? Apparently I can't install the 5.1 security upgrade because it shows I have the build key of 5.0. argghhhh

I need some help! My Z ULTRA has been hard brick. It was my mistake. I had the Flashing Normal C6806 SONY FTF to the GPE. It does not have any work.

I will not be able to fix it? No resolution? Plz help me..

No power on. When I connect the charging cable, Charging LED is turn on.

When connected to a PC with a USB viewed as SOMC Flash Device. Not SEMC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Can you get the device into fastboot?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lhg926:
No... It doesn't work.. No fast boot and flash mode.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Then, if you cannot get it into fastboot, I think you are out of luck. You could try to get someone to JTAG your device back to life or try and send it to Sony and see if they could fix it, but I believe you might have hard bricked the device at this point.

Sorry

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Sprint finally shipped my replacement M8.

I know how to check for reconditioned status if I turn it on using ##786#

But I'd like to sell it "Sealed". And list it as appropriate (new or refurb).

Will it come in a brown paper bag or something to identify it as refurb? Or will it have something in the Serial Number to ID it?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] brandonair95:
I know Asurion only gives brand new replacements in original packaging. For refurbished, it's a regular package. Could be the same for sprint .
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sikclown:
Every brand new replacement I have gotten came sealed in factory box; Every refurb has been shipped in a generic Sprint device box.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ChillHill:
I was a technician for Sprint. If it's a new phone, it will come in the original OEM box. If it is refurbished, it will come in a think small white box (sometimes having a sprint logo on it) and your phone will be in a bubble wrap sleeve.

If it's being mailed to your house you'll know. If you have to pick it up at a Sprint store, try and make sure you see the box it was in. Quite often, if a customer mentioned anything about the condition, the manager and sales team would take refurbished phones out of the box and bubble wrap and claim it to be a new phone. Since its a "replacement" you don't get the box or accessories.

Good luck!

Hi,

sorry if this question was asked but I could not find previous posts.

I would like to try newer ROMs on my Qtek S200, but before I'd like to backup the current, original, ROM (SPL 2.09.0000, Italian OS), just in case.

However, wizBackup (mtty 1.42) refuses to dump the ROM since the phone is not CID unlocked (the error is "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image"). AFAIK the only way to CID-unlock the prophet with SPL 2.xx it is to use the downgrade procedure explained elsewhere. However, in this way I would loose the original ROM before I could backup it!

Is there some way to dump the original ROM before downgrading to unlock the device?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] arg0:
ok, I'll ask an easier question, then ;)

anyone has dumped (or knows from where to download) localised Qtek s200 ROMs (especially Italian)? I can find no download area at www.qtekcorp.com :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Val3r10:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Val3r10:

Thanks and excuse my bump

:D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] arg0:
looking for the same thing.

I'll end up unlocking and upgrading my S200 without a backup of the original ROM. I doubt Qtek will release any upgrades since the device is quite old now.

It's a shame they did not even release the original rom for download.

So too bad, I'll take the risk and unlock the phone. I'm confident that the imate Italian ROM, though not very new, will work better than the one I have now.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Val3r10:
My S200 is 6 months "old", and for the very first three months, it hasn't any support data on pocketdevice site because "too new".

Now is it obsolete and nobody will release anything for such brick ???

What a kind of policy is it ?

Thank you, but I think this is a dead-end policy for QTEK

For you to be able to update the firmware (-> Android) there must not be root or a custom recovery on the phone. Remove both, flash again. Otherwise the updater throws an error and the phone will always reboot.

[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
My headphones are MDR-NC31E and they are noise cancelling. I checked Sony's website and only MDR-NC31EM appears. I think it's the same model and they changed the name (put an extra M there) or different name for different markets.

L.E.: I checked the papers inside the box (last image I added) and it says MDR-NC31EM :) . So they are the same. Probably they decided to change the name after some of them were already manufactured.

I saw it it's not really working like the battery is around 0-30%, does anyone know why?

I dont have the btn200, but i did get a free btx300 speaker and not had any issues with pairing...... have you got stamina mode or any battery saving thingys on??? As you mentioned battery life, maybe somethings killing bluetooth at a certain percentage to preserve battery, if not that then i dont know

Yea I was actually thinking the same and I am gonna try it out without the low-battery mode cause it might be killing the link in-between.

And the funny part is that it shows that my headset is connected. :eek::confused: haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple-Rules:
hi, very new to all this, never had a "Smartphone" of any type, Anyway, I was given a dead Desire to play with, it would not charge, so I got it going by putting 9V across the battery for 30 seconds to kick start, then it charged nicely. But it kept crashing on loading the standard O2 firmware. When it did load the volume down seem to be stuck (it wasn't it seems though). So I rooted it for flashing.

Anyway, tried a few ROMs (BeanStalk 4.4.255, MildWild 8.0JG, MIUI XJ 2.3.7, OxyZM 1.2) - all load but always the Desire runs in Safe Mode. This is shown by the words "Safe Mode" in the bottom left of the screen and a failure to run any downloaded Apps.

Other ROMs (BCM-RC4.1U2 and Carbon KK Unofficial 20140430) run without Safe Mode and only minor glitches (most prominant seems to be an inability to enter 'standby').

Anyway, I'm trying to figure this all out. I now know the Optical Trackpad does not 'track' (ie does not react to swipes). Took me a while to figure as I had no idea what it is supposed to do. It does react to pushing (as some type of 'OK' button).

So, having read loads on the web it seems a failure in the Optical Trackpad makes the Desire run in Safe Mode. Likewise its failure seemed to interfere with the volume down in the original O2 firmware. The failure does not seem to be a problem newer Android versions (I think the BCM and Carbon ROMs use newer versions).

Anyway, anyone got any experience, ideas or suggestions. The phone is a great toy and I love a challenge, been good fun getting this far on a "dead phone". Really impressed with the screen, given I had never used a Smartphone before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple-Rules:
Anyone got an idea why earlier versions of Android cause the HTC Desire (with non-working optical trackpad) to go into safety mode, but later versions (v4 ish) do not? All for interest really, it is working pretty much 95% on 4.0.4 (Nikez Lente). Just minor issues on sleep and occasional volume changes - use "Black Screensaver" and that really helps conserve battery.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] d0m_:
I have no clue what to do now, I've searched the forums for days now. I don't know what other options I have now. I had my phones bootloader unlocked and s-off. Even had clockworkmod installed (I believe it was version 6.0.4.5) I planned on putting it back to stock when I found out it wouldn't keep a signal and randomly rebooting. I don't know what happened or what I probably did to make it happen, but now I am stuck.

Where I stand now is looking at my phone in the bootloader. I can access fastboot from there but not the recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it seems to hang on a black screen, then after a little wait it shows me a picture of a phone with a red exclamation point inside a triangle. I guessing I would be safe to assume in saying that my recovery is shot. My bootloader says that it is locked with s-on and that it has been tampered (I attached a picture below). I've even tried using an RUU, however I don't know if I am doing it properly.

So I guess my question is this, Is there anything I can do from this point?

I've already accepted the fact I might as well have a brick. Just hoping there is a last resort.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] michaelbsheldon:
try new recovery

Since you can get into fastboot, type fastboot devices and see if yours shows in list.

If not, check out HTC usb drivers and make sure they're right. Then get most current recovery

like PhilZ's or Clockwork or TWRP.

After connection is sure, type fastboot erase cache.

Then name your recovery recovery.img and flash it: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader.

Try getting into your new recovery and go from there.

If I'm not mistaken, since you're still only hboot 1.54, you can flash an RUU to get back to full stock. You can grab the RUU here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428276. Just make sure it's the VZW one. You can follow the directions here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251800. That thread is in the Sprint forum, but its the same process.
