[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piCARSO:
Hey guys, love all the work that goes on in this forum.

I've run into a bit of a problem. My mate gave me his phone to try and fix after he interrupted a factory reset. It's stuck in a bootloop.

It's a RAZR HD and was originally from Telstra (Aus).

I've managed to unlock the bootloader, but quickly after that everything has gone to hell.

When I turn the phone on, it gives the bootloader is unlocked message. Then the android installation guy comes up and after about 5 seconds of trying to install the phone bootloops.

I am able to enter the Android System Recovery (3e) and have done factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache options, however does not change anything. When I press reboot system, the bootloop continues as if I did nothing. I have tried installing a ROM from an SD card however it fails at the Verifying Package stage. I am unable to adb push anything as usb debugging wasn't turned on.

I am able to enter into fastboot and can see my device however cannot flash any images from there for some reason using the fastboot commands (it comes up with a <bootloader> variable not supported! error: cannot load '[name of image file]'

I was able to use RSD Lite to flash the official Telstra ROM to the phone, however at the very end of the installation when it rebooted, it just went into the bootloop again.

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Anyone?

I was able to get adb sideload to work (I had the wrong path name to the zip file) but still no luck...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
try mfastboot and flash the partition table first, if that fails, there is no hope of saving the device. if it passes, flash the rest of the files, including the wipe command.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piCARSO:
Thanks for the reply. When you say flash the partition table first, would that be the partition_signed file (aka mfastboot flash partition partition_signed)?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
yes, thats correct.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemihir:
Hi!

I am from India. I've been wanting to buy the Note 3. Recently I came across this seller on eBay who is selling Note 3 phones for almost 25% less! He says that he imports the phones directly from Vietnam and so he can afford that discount. He also offered an additional 10% discount, if I don't purchase via eBay and deal directly with him. For that, I'll have to first deposit the money in his bank account and he would then order it from Vietnam, which would directly reach me in 4-5 days.

I'm unable to understand this whole process. Can it be true? Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone at 25% off?! Just because he's importing it from Vietnam.

He said that I'll get company warranty, the box will be seal packed, he'll replace or refund within 7 days and the phone is the Indian version. So I would get the updates also.

What should I do? It is a steal deal for sure. But is it trustworthy? Also, is the quality of phones manufactured in Vietnam as good as the Korean make? Please help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhateverMan2:
Definitely not trustworthy! Why would a seller ask you to deposit money into his bank account first? And even if it were delivered to you, it might be a clone :P

great to see helpful responses

hi people!

many many thanks for your responses. indeed, few of them made me look stupid. :p but then that's cool. how else would i learn if it were not for good folks like you all.

btw, for the concerned ones, i've not done any transaction yet and i don't plan to do it either! :) what's more - the listing was removed or taken off the very next day. quite surprising.

:good:

thanks again!

mihir.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Good. It was definitely dodgy.

Personally, for anything that costs as much as a Note 3 or similar, I'd never, ever buy over the net. Hands on is never 100% foolproof, but the odds are way better than buying blind.

Does anyone is having an extreme lag with the ZL ?? I'm suffering from it and I don't know if it's the 4.4.4 update or what.( I dont remember when it started). I tried with stock rom and right now with MoonWalker Rom, but I have the same issue on both. What do I have to do? Do I have to go back to 4.3 or there is a fix?

Thank you so much!

can you sucscribe lag thatyou have? i have a lag that my keyboard not always show in time when i touch an input area, i have to wait couple seconds. and i thin this is arom related.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Poyta:
Hello, I have the same issue after kitkat update. I did everything to fix this problem and nothing.

I notice that after full recovery (format) Is fine but when the stock apps update via google play (like google play services) the issue appear.

I just have one thing to say, this is my first and last time with Sony. Buggy Firmware, lot of hardware bugs, the screen is not resistant, the vibration system is like a china phone and so on.

My issues:

Texting lag (keyboard lag)

screen transitions lag

Opening and closening the status bar lag

Scroll lag

everything had lag after kitkat update

I did every kind of recovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kwaille:

[Sony Xperia ZL] kennedy junyo:
possible correction

Sorry for the english
[Sony Xperia ZL] opticon107:
It lags when I tap on an input text, it lags when I type... like: I type a sentence and nothing happens....after 4 seconds, characters appears in a fast sequence...and this happens 90% of the time.

What I have tried:

Reboot

Clean caches

Re-install ROM

Install 3 different stock roms (my cell is BL)

The final and WORKING thing that I did is........: Go back to fu**in 4.3, it runs smoothly like 4.4.4 should be.

I recommend not to buy a sony device, their development team sucks and they release devices every 5months which becomes the current generations obsolete in a couple of months.
[Sony Xperia ZL] opticon107:
Go back to 4.3, it's the only way. and.... sell your phone and buy a Samsung, HTC or LG
[Sony Xperia ZL] Poyta:
Thanks for the advice!

Actually this is my girlfriend's phone, my is a clean and perfect nexus 5.

But there is some news... Maybe some services get updated in the last 2 weeks, and now the phone is good enought to use, not perfect but is good, 90% of the laggy disappear, but I dont know for how long....

Sony nevermore...just clean androids like nexus....
[Sony Xperia ZL] felipee51:
I had to back to 4.3. The best rom ever. The 4.4.4 lags a lot on keyboard and multitasking.

If you have 2 or 3 app it's OK, otherwise not.

The 4.4.4 Taskbar is ugly, lags and worst than 4.3.

The question is. What the "Fuccc..." 4.4.4 have better than 4.3?

So, don't upgrade to kitkat. Only the real chocolate bar ir better than jellybean...:D

first time flashing ROM. Tmobile Note 2

T-Mobile Note II running 4.3

Hi, I am looking for any assistance. I am new to customizing. I rooted my phone through odin (desktop).

I was looking at the Phantom Rom, and then I came accross Alliance Rom.

Which is better? I was really attracted to Alliance ROM, for ease of customization.

Also: On either ROM are these features still available?

Speaker Phone

Wifi Tether (how to access/open it)

Wifi calling

visual voicemail

GPS

Google play store still available?

Can I add a custom bootload?(How do i do it)

How can I transfer contacts from kies(on my computer) to the device?

Then also, A complete process to install/ flashing? the Rom.

I mean every step dumbed down( I know Im sorry, I am a quick learner though)

If theres anything else I should know or do?

Oh and I heard that there is another app installer like google play store, is there?

A response would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Post links to the ROM threads you are interested in. It could save you from having issues later on. Alliance is not built specifically for the SGH-T889. I don't recognize the other ROM.

Phantom --- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737570

There are the two links. I thought they were available for the Tmobile Note 2? I take it the N7100 is a diffferent model than T-mobile's SGH T889?

If the case being that I cannot, or should not use these roms with my tmobile note 2, is there any other roms similar that you would reccomend?

This is where I originally found the "Phantom" Rom (although on this site it is just named S5/Note 3 Hybrid)

I tried messaging the guy several ways and I have not received any responses from him in 2 weeks.

ok, then how about this situation

first time flashing ROM. Tmobile Note 2

T-Mobile Note II running 4.3

Is the DN3 ROM compatible for my phone?

what features will i lose(if any) by flashing,

do these still work?

Speaker Phone

Wifi Tether (how to access/open it)

Wifi calling

visual voicemail

GPS

Google play store still available?

Can I add a custom bootload?(How do i do it)

Also, does roaming work? and if i were to call tmobile to turn on/off roaming will i run into any problems?

How can I transfer contacts from kies(on my computer) to the device or is there another program i can use?

how about restoring backups of apps/data/contacts from TItanium back up, are there any issues with that?

I also was told that there is a way to add an FM radio to my phone as well, would you be able to assist me with this, or point me in the right direction?

Then also, A complete process to install/ flashing? the Rom.

I mean every step dumbed down( I know Im sorry, I am a quick learner though)

If theres anything else I should know or do?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
Hey all, Was wondering if anybody had some time to help me troubleshoot why I cannot for the life of me get this method to work and maybe explain to me a few things that are confusing to me...

Basically my phone is hard bricked:

Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 (AT&T)

- Began with Stock 4.1.2 (almost %100 positive)

- Attempted flash to 4.4.4 Task650's AOKP ROM (Flashed ok but stuck at boot animation) via CWM

- Attempted reverting back to stock with the file below via Odin but I must have missed a step...

I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Now I am hard bricked and don't know where to go from here. I've tried several solutions:

- Homemade Jig (didn't work)

- 3 button combo / download mode (doesn't work)

- Odin does not read phone

- Connected to a pc (red power light appears but nothing else)

- SD card method - Using Win32DiskImager to write images to a 16gb class 10 micro sd

- Debrick images used: 4.1.2, 4.1.1, (should i try 4.0.4, 4.3, or even 4.4?)

- How do I tell if the image is writing correctly and partitioning the drive right?

- When the sd card is seen in the computer I see a folder on it named "image" with several files inside it but I don't know how to see partitions

I have screenshots too if you'd like to see them. Let me know if you have any suggestions or have seen anyone with this same issue able to fix it. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

- Chris

hopefully someone will come along with some real help.

good luck.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If that firmware was the full firmware, and it appeared to flash, you'll probably need to use the 4.3 debrick.img. also try different sd cards. Many just don't work, where others will.

Look at Tmobiles debrick thread stickied in the development section there. It tells you how to use a Linux liveCD to partition and check the card. The method will work, just use the files from here if you try it.

Chances are, if it doesn't work with the 4.3 image, you'll need a different sd card though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
Ok thanks. I'm going to attempt this again tonight using an SD card adapter instead of using another mobile device as the adapter to see if that makes a difference. If that doesn't do the trick I will try the LinuxLiveCD method. I'm using a Lexar 16gb Class 10 micro sd card so I don't think it that is the issue but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try a different brand.

Just curious, has anybody here successfully debricked their phone using another mobile device as the sd card adapter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Not sure about using the mobile device, but you'd be surprised about the sd cards! I've seen Samsung 16GB Class 10 fail for some people, but work for others. It's really odd as there is no rhyme or reason to it. More of a crap shoot than anything from what I can tell.

I've seen generic 32GB class 4 cards work for people who couldn't get a name brand class 10 one to work at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
Good to know, but just to clarify when you say it "fails"... what exactly fails - writing the image file, partitioning the card, or does it write everything to the card ok and then just not boot up? I'm just asking so I know what to look for if it ever happens.

Thanks for the responses as I'm still new to this process and this phone and every little thing helps!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It usually appears to create the debrick sd card just fine. It just doesn't work when you try to boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
So, it appears that the issue was using the mobile device as the sd card reader. After writing the debrick file to the same sd card with an actual sd card reader, I am able to boot into the stock recovery. From here, I should just be able to flash a stock ROM to it correct or no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Ok, which debrick.img did you end up using? If you used 4.3, you must flash the MJB firmware. If it was an older image, you will have a choice.

Either way, if you're ready to update to 4.3, and the recovery you are able to boot into is Twrp or cwm, you can flash this:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285

It is the full mjb base firmware. does not include recovery or system. After flashing this, you should be able to boot at least recovery and download mode without the sd card. If your rom is intact, you'll be able to boot it as well. If not, choose one and flash it.

If you are not ready to update to 4.3, we will have to find another, older version of what I linked above. Or I can make one if required.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
Ok, after playing with the phone for awhile I have found out that I can boot into download mode now. After rebooting, I was able to boot into the stock 4.3 ROM but I noticed I lost root access. Now the problem is I cannot enter the recovery to even flash the file you mentioned above (I flashed CWM via Odin but I can't boot into it). The phone can be seen in Odin now as well. I've done a little bit of research on achieving Root access again but I came across a post that mentioned I could ruin my IMEI number by flashing a "CF-Autoroot" file, should I be worried about doing this now that I'm on 4.3 or am I ok since I didn't use the OTA 4.3 ??

Again, thank you so much for the advise! I'm so glad this phone isn't a brick anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Ok. Since you can get download mode, that changes things.

Boot download mode, remove the sdcard and flash the MJB firmware in Odin. Download here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722660

Then, use Towelroot to root the device. (I posted a good guide for this. It should be on page 1 in the Tmobile General section: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793071)

Towelroot is by far the easiest root you'll ever use! Just make sure you read the first two posts before starting!

At this point you should be fully recovered and running stock rooted MJB.

Now before anything else, since you mentioned the imei, backup your NV Data. Very easy!

Install and open Terminal Emulator from the store and enter this:

su
reboot nvbackup

It'll reboot and create a hidden, permanent, on device backup of your NV data. If corruption is ever detected it'll auto restore during boot, so it essentially protects you from ever losing your imei!

After that, you can do as you wish! If you want to update to 4.4.2 though, I recommend doing that before you root. After flashing MJB, reboot and you should be able to get the official OTA. Then continue with the rest if the instructions above.
