[Q] Softbricked Tipo, tried flashtool. PC Companion & Update Service NOTHING WORKS!

HI there,

Woke up today to see my Tipo powered off, tried to turn it on and got one vibrate and one green flash. I didn't panic, as I have Flashtool and PC Companion, and have fixed this sort of thing before. But for some reason, flashtool won't flash the stock ftf - it wither gets stuck on "reading device" or an error flashing loader.sin.

I've installed the flashtool drivers. I've uninstalled and re-installed flashtool, and re-installed the drivers, still no joy.

So I tried PC companion to repair the phone, but it says there is no software available! Tried uninstalling and re-installing this too, and re-booted the PC, same result!

Update Service is doing exactly the same - no software available. Also uninstalled/re-installed and re-booted PC, to no effect.

I've looked all over the XDA forums and elsewhere, but can only find advice to do what I've already done. Does anyone know what's going on here?

The phone had Cyanogen Mod on it when the soft brick occurred, if that's any help.

PLEASE HELP. I'm banging my head against a brick wall!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Moll_McGuffin:
Update: Tried flashing with flashtool again, getting the following errors:

INFO - Unable to read from phone after having opened it.

ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.

ERROR - Error in processHeader : 2 : The system cannot find the file specified.

ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

Hey,

I bought a second hand samsung galaxy s4 a few days ago and i didn't notice that the bootloader was locked, so i tried to root my phone and it succeeded but then i accidentally removed my batterij before rebooting and now my phone won't turn on anymore.

I already tried to press all buttons but it won't go on.

Can somebody help me please?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipois0n1:
please specify "I already tried to press all buttons but it won't go on."
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Please be more descriptive. Does the splash screen appear? Can you go into Download Mode? What do you mean by "I already tried to press all buttons"? Also, when exactly did you remove your battery? There are many points there that can bring you a hardbrick, however, it can be nothing more than a softbrick as well...

Provide this further info and then I may try helping ;).

~Lord
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDiM:
Thanks for your reply, the splash screen doesn't appear and i can't get into any mode. It doesn't react in any way. Before this happend i installed the app; RegionLockAway and tried to unlock my boatloader. Thats when i accidentally removed my battery and i can't turn it on since then.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipois0n1:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDiM:
is there no way to bring this phone ''back to life'' ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NucDome:
No, I believe it's perma bricked if you can't even get into download mode
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Well when something like happened to my s2, i used a usb jig to get it back to life.

But that was in the case of a soft brick.

Still you can try on the GS4.

I AM NOT SURE IF THE JIG WOULD WORK.

But you can always try.

Thank me if it worked by any chance :P
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It does look like a hard brick like you mentioned, so that means the only way to save it is a JTAG, when my S4 stayed in a similar way nothing worked, except for JTAG.

This is the Thread for my KitKat ROM with all new infos and progresses what I will make with my ROM.

Every help is welcome.

I can help you :) But I have a question. Why won't we try with Sense 5 JB 4.2?

Sent from my HTC One S C2 with Sense 5
[HTC One S] qzem:
It makes more sense to work on Cm based roms, because all the code is availible. HTC on the other hand hide their framework and drivers code, that is essential to port newer versions of sense to our phone. Which makes it nearly impossible to do it.
[HTC One S] Minto107:
Unfortunately S3 is discontinued by HTC and there isn't any device with S3 based CPU hasn't got 4.2 or newer

Sent from my HTC One S C2 with Sense 5
[HTC One S] xQubee5o3:
First we have to port CM on our Phone.

It will bring us all the drivers to let it boot.

After that, with all basics and stuff we can port Senny and Ubuntu ^^

We just have to learn which kernel and boot images we have to write and what exactly we have to port/compile/write.

Let's make a list what we have to do ^^

I am starting with:

1. Kernel

2. recovery (cwm)

Btw I am writing a list on paper. So tell me every time if you want to see it ^^

[HTC One S] xpirt:
What's the difference exactly between kernel and boot.img?

xpirt
[HTC One S] xQubee5o3:
/Edit: I got it now. I am stupid...

There is no difference in kernel and boot.img

Kernel, the heart of the OS, is the boot.img itself.

It brings the OS bootable and connects Hardware with System. (I think it's the right explanation of it..)

Thanks xpirt!
[HTC One S] xpirt:
Mmmm interesting.. if you have this idea of the difference between boot.img and kernel I think you can leave this project for now.

Let me explain you that there is no difference between them and you can edit your post leaving only one of them.

boot.img = ramdisk + zImage (compiled kernel source)

Well I hope that this explanation can be just an input to learn seriously development if you want to continue this project and have some results.

With that i don't want to spam the thread, so.. good luck! ;)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana4Life:
Hey,

Having problems for entering ADB codes. How do you enter something like $ fastboot oem lock. Thanks :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davide_94:
try

"adb shell" press enter

"su" press enter

now you have the "$" at start of the command
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tansly:
You type that command in a command line on your computer if you have adb and fastboot installed and your phone is plugged via usb.

$ is basically a sign for command line in linux, your line starts with $ for a normal user and # for root.

To sum up, if you see something starting with $, that means it is a command.

Search the forums for more info about installing adb and fastboot if you didn't already.

please help!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] kurtis.austin2:
If you delete the round clock and want it back, uncheck the widgets option in lockscreen settings and it comes back.

they should have the option to add the clock back from the widget list in lock screen

They should yes. I agree. I ran into the same problem when I accidentally deleted it.

if you delete all lock screen widgets, the round clock will reappear

Analog? Nope!

If I delete the widgets and add it back, I still get the digital clock. When I go into the clock app, I have no option to change it. All I seem to be able to do is add world times. :confused:

I think he doesn't mean that dual booting. I think he means dualbooting between different ROMs. Like for my S3 I got Dual booting with Siyah Kernel between CM10.1 and 4.1.2 Touchwiz. For S3 you have much kernels supporting dual boot. So you just need to find the right kernel for your device. I think there are much devices having these kernels!

The native LED Notification is very limited on my Verizon G3. I cannot find the email notifications and think it is not included. I am not able to access any LED setting other then:

3. Missed Voice mail

4. Battery

I have the g2 and this feature is 10x better. I am very disappointed in the G3 when it comes to the native LED settings. I had to download lightflow.

Does anybody have native email LED notifications on their LG G3.? Maybe I am just not seeing it.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I've been running into strange problems.

All of the e-books that I borrow from my public library have problems.

(This problem also occurs downloading EPUBs from Adobe's demo site.)

Sometimes my Library.apk can't find the e-book's metadata.

It usually works fine on the Nook, but the JellyBeans have problems.

This has to do with the unzipper in Android.

The older unzipper was more resilient to failures.

The newer unzipper bombs on errors.

Quite simply, the EPUBs coming out of Adobe Digital Editions (versions 2.0 or 3.0 for Windows) zip EPUBs incorrectly.

META-INF/container.xml and OEBPS/content.opf have zeroes in the Local Header for the fields of crc, size1 and size2.

Additionally, some EPUBs have garbaged filenames in the Central Directory.

To fix, you can unzip and zip the files without changing the DRM.

Has anybody else noticed this?
