[UMi ZERO Questions & Answers] reisamm:
Hi there raducux,

Well, this was about another situation, but mixing with ROM's cooking I was able to brick it again :p it was mrsim who help me (mod at china-devices.com, credit where is due). But I will tell you how I did it.

You need to have the adb android drivers installed and flashtool v5.1 or up (the one I used, but some people use the 3.1 version).

Download this ROM from needrom (scatter file compatible with FT).

Link: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Y800_UMI_20141104_1907xx-s7yler.zip or

http://www.needrom.com/download/umi-zero/

Extract, and in flashtools select the scatter file inside the directory you extracted. Press flash, and (after pressing flash) connect the phone to the USB port holding the volume down key (so the phone connects in META mode), and the process should begin.

If all works well after flashing the phone should boot the new ROM, its version 3.01 so you have to upgrade it.

If that does not work, tell me a few things... I suppose the phone does not start or appear the 'Zero' logo, but tell me if when you connect it to the computer you ear the normal plugin USB sound?

FlashTools (all versions)

http://helpadude.com/sp-flash-tools/

Universal ADB Driver

http://www.needrom.com/download/universal-adb-driver/

Tell me if it worked, or if you need more help tell me what happened and how the phone responds. lot of people here also that can help. My 1st thing I check when buying a new phone (for many years now), is if it's 'XDA' Supported... :cool:

cheers

Hi,

My SM-G386F (Core 4G LTE) is soft-bircked (i think), when i boot the device i see the name device and the name manufacturer, then switch to the logo samsung with the ugly song and the device doen't boot.

I try to flash many time rom stock (with wipe data/cache), that not solve the problem.

i can accesss to the recovery and download mode.

How i ca repair my device please?

Thank.
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see you've posted the same question here:

[Q] SM-G386F soft-bricked, bootloop.

Please refer to the XDA Forum Rules for information regarding the creation of duplicate posts. I'm going to close this thread and let the good people in your specific device section help you in your other thread, we would have just moved this thread there anyway.

Good luck!

It works with any Samsung device as I and countless others have used it on the S4. Most of the risk is in rooting the S4 to use it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoobydumb:
Rooted with CWM as recovery. Shield Tablet has OTA update but obviously can't install with CWM. What is the simplest way to stay up to date and keep root?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoobydumb:
Still looking for help with this. I have a basic understanding on how things work. Is this what I need to do?

Flash original recovery

Reboot then do the OTA update

Then refresh CWM

Will I lose root?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
That's not the way to go at all.

Whenever there's an update, flash the incremental OTA file HERE.

Flashing the stock recovery will not allow taking OTA's.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoobydumb:
thank you for the link, which command do I use to flash the incremental update looks like the instructions there are for a full update. thanks again
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Um, just flash it in TWRP or CWM, only need to flash cache and dalvik cache, but that's optional.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singularity_iOS:
Im also sorta nooby about this. The only thing I have ever done is flash Cyanogen Mod and install TWRP on my Galaxy Note 3. I have rooted my Shield and installed Uno TWRP out of the box. Thus its not on the latest update. Just to clarify so I don't f*ck up. I just download the latest OTA, copy to my sdcard and flash in TWRP? And that will just update it without having to lose all my apps etc?

EDIT: So incremental updates take from version x.x to version x.x? Oh, and is it true that root is wiped? Im happy to re-root everytime.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Yes that's true, just make sure you flash the incremental updates and not the full OTA's. And as far as root I'm not sure if you loose it, while in recovery might as well just flash SuperSU to be safe.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singularity_iOS:
Ok thanks. One more question. How would I go about checking the rom version? Unless I'm missing it I can only see the Android version, which is 5.0.

EDIT: i'm getting some sort of error when trying to flash the zips. I downloaded (for wifi) 2.0 to 2.1, 2.1 to 2.2 and 2.2 to 2.2.1. Whenever I try to flash it just fails.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Yes, because you need to flash 2.2.1 full ota via custom recovery, and wipe cache dalvik. Then flash again your custom recovery. Then supersu.

If you are rooted with custom rec (twrp, cwm, Philz) you need to flash full ota.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singularity_iOS:
Wouldn't the tablet be wiped then? And if this is the case everytime can't I just keep the stock recovery and sideboard a custom one?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Nope. You just flash on top, like a dirty flash. I use TWRP and Ive done it twice and still kept everything. The only wipe you need to do is cache & dalvik after flashing full OTA.

If you keep stock rec just for the fact of being rooted incremental OTAs wont work
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perky nerky:
I just flashed full OTA via CWM and lost root.

I had to re fastboot flash recovery and then sideload supersu to root.

It sounds like TWRP is holding root.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
On my previous instructions I pointed out to (after flashing ota) to reflash custom rec and supersu.

With twrp I do it literally after flashing full ota. I leave recovery to reboot to system right when Im done flashing everything.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jakeisabear:
I don't mean to be rude, but why is there Moto Maxx discussion here? I understand that these phones are nearly identical, but seeing as the thing that makes the Droid Turbo it's own device is that it is stuck inside the constraints of Verizon, I really don't want to come to this forum and see it blowing up with threads about the Moto Maxx and all of the updates and whatnot they are getting in Brazil. If I sound bitter.. I am a bit. You go to a device specific forum to not see things that irrelevant for your device.

TL;DR: Please don't talk about Moto Maxx things in this forum, it's a Droid Turbo Forum. Moderators, please enforce this.

Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] IAreFlugruger:
This subject has already been addressed multiple times. Try browsing the forum a little bit and I'm sure that you'll be able to find the discussion. No need to start a new thread about it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jakeisabear:
While you are correct and I should have looked a little harder for that discussion, I would much rather blow up this forum wit multiple threads regarding this topic, than have this forum cluttered with discussion which is ultimately useless to members with the actual "Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo", the titular device of this forum.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] krabman:
I post here because I thought this was the Moto Maxx forum and they misnamed it Droid Turbo on accident. :) I was just looking at my Moto Maxx by the way and was thinking "damn, that's one mighty fine device" right before I read this post.

In seriousness you might want to read one of the several threads where this has been hashed out at length. A few key takeaways from that are... while not ideal there are reasons why separating these forums would be detrimental to both device owner groups... this had already been posted both on the official thread where it was seconded a number of times along with the threads started here meaning the moderators and administration of this forum have already seen this complaint and chosen not to act on it either in creating a new separate forum or in stopping Maxx owners posting here.

I would suggest putting your vote in on the previous thread on this as well as visiting the official forum suggestion thread and seconding the request there. Who knows make the wheel squeaky enough and maybe you will hit paydirt.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] matheus_sc:
Because Moto maxx int version of turbo, i think this forum need be re-named or maxx have new área
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
And then there's the U.S. XT1250 Moto Maxx, which is identical to the Droid Turbo XT1254 (same FCC ID number), works on Verizon and has unlockable boot loader. It's basically the "Developer Edition" of the Droid Turbo.

If any development comes which will benefit the Quark XT1254 (Droid Turbo), it's going to come from the Quark XT1250 (U.S. Moto Maxx) or the Quark XT1225 (international Moto Maxx).

The Droid Turbo XT1254 is just Verizon's locked down XT1250 Moto Maxx.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
So what?

There are many phones with carrier versions and yet, they at the very least have their own sub forums. This is due to laxness on XDA's part and has nothing to do with FCC numbers or similarities.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Gundabolu SC:
Look we can't do anything unless XDA chooses to... Moderators have been to these threads and it has also been posted in the forum request thread and nothing has been done... So until XDA desides to do something about this, we are stuck together!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
I'm aware, but there us no reason for anyone to justify it with FCC ids or anything else. Call it for what it is, indifference on the part of whoever sets up the forums.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] matheus_sc:
For this should be quark forum, for all variants
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
None of the other forums are structured that way...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] krabman:
Not true, there are several. The latest one I was on was the Find 7a forum which later had the Find 7 added to it making 4 total variants under the same roof since they each had both a Chinese and an international variant. Those handsets had more differences than these do. It isn't a big deal there and it isn't a big deal here. Frankly without the contributions of the entire group that forum would be dead making it ideal for no one. Which pretty much sums up the future of this one as well were it to be divided.

I'm not calling any of you out in particular but right now your "lets kick those pesky Maxx dudes out" thought lhas little logical substance. So far the only reason anyone has come up with for separating it is a segment of one ownership group who feels like they shouldn't have to actually think before clicking a thread. Yes, I'm saying it is obvious by looking at most thread titles whether that thread pertains to a particular device or not. It isn't like anyone would have a bunch of wasted clicks. Further anyone that cares to bother can read the previous threads to see how easy it is to mark thread titles by device if it pertains to only one variant.

Honestly gents, what is your preference, have your own dead forum which you wont bother visiting because to do so would be pointless or dropping the "waaa" line of reasoning and going with what isn't perfect but better than nothing?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
None of those variants were named by their internal name (like quark), so no they were not. It's not about kicking people out, its about logical organization and right now this forum is a catchall.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] poncespr:
For over two years now, the Razr HD has had only one development forum for two variants,

XT926, which is the CDMA/Verizon variant, and XT925 , that is the GSM/international version.

The situation is very similar, if not identical than what we have here now with the Turbo/Maxx. The internals are almost exactly the same, save for radio.

Not saying it is ideal, but it has worked so far.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
How many bricks?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] krabman:
Thats it? You're going to go with "internal names"? lol I have already seen you're incapable of admitting you're wrong and the reason I posted wasn't for your benefit, it was for others that might not be aware that there are reasons why it would be a bad idea. What weighs most important in their mind is up to them and I can respect their opinions just as I respect yours although I think it is short sighted, and poorly thought out.

You are BTW wrong about it being simply a matter of laziness, you used lax but I think I understanding on what you meant? The truth is they cannot administer, monitor, and moderate an unlimited number of forum sections and there can not be one section for every possible device. Go ahead and read up on why that is in the forum faqs as I am thinking you would rather read it from the horses mouth. This is why some devices get no forum at all and there are several that are multiple device combined forums. I've been on two since I've been here myself and another fellow just mentioned one he had been on. They exist and have existed no matter how much you don't want to admit it.

Again, I would suggest you go to the appropriate area up above and second the nomination to separate these devices by whatever means you see fit. I would also suggest you go to the Find 7 section and take a look at just how slow it is despite having the devices combined. While you do so keep in mind that they are less than one year from introduction and started out with developers on board up front and far more posters contributing in the beginning on a stellar device. Note that they added a separate development threads within the section so that people could go directly to their own device development where it was not generic between all of them. Note that people were encouraged to add the device to the thread title when the subject was device specific so that people could quickly skim through it looking for information that is of interest to them.

Split this up and this section dies sooner rather than whatever later ends up being if you keep them together. Maybe you care, maybe you don't. I do care because a perfect forum with no information has less value than an imperfect one that people are contributing in.

I was by the way on the other side last time. The new guys joined us and while I didn't like the arrangement it was better than nothing. There was also less complaining for reasons that I don't know but I am curious as to why this comes up over and over here but was hardly a blip there. Maybe it is the type of people. More US influence here obviously while that one is quite international in nature.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
Incapable of admitting I am wrong? Of what? Quite the immature comment. Is this some sort of childish competition for you?

No phone here is referred to by internal name. In no situation will it make things clear. In no situation will someone less tech savvy end up in the right forum. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen bricks due to people flashing the wrong firmware for the wrong device. I have my PM inbox on this forum and several others where over the years people have bricked their devices with the wrong firmware and I happened to have a leak that would put them back on the right version. The ONLY reason it hasn't happened in here is that the Turbo is still locked down. If it ever is freed, we will see bricks here unless Maxx users get their own forums, mark my words. Why, you may ask? Well I am glad you did. Because its unlikely we will get a full firmware leak to restore from.

I am wrong about it being laziness? Yes I originally said laxness, for lack of a word to explain their lack of caring, rather than being lazy, LOL.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4

AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

All full forum sets. I can find other examples. Stop huffing and puffing because you think we want Maxx users kicked out. No, I rather the information be separated for logical reasons. It has nothing to do with your ego, nor mine.

No it isn't.

This device sells as well as Nexus devices, easily.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 if they want to compact it a bit, they could have. Each one has its own developer forum. Same with Nexus devices.

There is no excuse for it. The only other device treated this way is the HTC One M8 for Windows.

I've been working on putting a custom rom on a S3 that I use for development. However I did something to it that basically bricked the phone. My pc now only picks it up as SMS device. I can press and hold power, or power vol up/down and the home button but the onlything that does is reset the connection to the pc. Screen remains black and no vibrate. Along with this ADB does not see the device, which isn't a surprise as the pc can't find the device. Does anyone know of any way to access the device via command prompt without adb? If i can see the files I can probably rip it open fix it but stuck. Any help please

But the renders were not from HTC, they were all fan-based. Why get your hopes up for something that had no official links?

This is my issue with people's reaction to the M9. Although I'm disappointed with the design I'm also not surprised. HTC need to recoup some money and saving money on design means they can continue to move forward. It's good business sense. Design is already great, so address the issues with the M8 and bump the internal spec
[One (M9) General] guitarboy021:
I kinda like the front facing speakers of the one. I've never used an htc but it still looks nice for a change as all the prev phones iv used had a speaker on the back. Anyway, I think what htc needs is a notification led something like the OGP. That would be sexy.
