Olipro: I own a S710. Would it help you to assess if you can produce an unlocker if I dump SPL and Radio ?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
erm... well, you can dump the SPL, sure.

as for unlocking it, I'd still need a device.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] GenghisKhent:
Mission Accomplished!

Just to share my experience. I have a 7500. I got through Step 1, but got black screen on Step 2. Realized I had left in MiniSD. Took it out. Went to BootLoader. Installed from BootLoader (ActiveSync no longer connecting) WM6 ROM (the 7501 one for my 7500 since I live in U.S.). I seem to be back in business. Basically, by reading the posts (excluding the flaming ones), I just tried to stay calm and follow what Olipro and others suggested, with the confidence that once I got past Step 1 my device was unbrickable. I appreciate Olipro's efforts, and hope this thread from now on stays on track.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jockyw2001:
Allright, I'll see if I can dump the SPL for ya to play with.

Unlocking is actually not an issue for me, but is for example for Orange E650 users (== HTC S710).

Cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mardibloke:
Thanks to all concerned, my unlock went just fine.

Cannot wait for a nice fast WM6 rom now :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Rabia:
okay i fall into the same trap, i have black screen, now i understand the my SPL is Olipros coz i can see the boatloader screen with the nicvkname too, so if am not mistaken i need to install wm6 to fix the problem, now i couldn't get hold on the one in Coming wm6 soon but i used the x7501 one, now since am in boatloader when i do the instruction it tries to read my device info but fails, error 260? i can't get hold of the upgrade in the www.upload.ru coz its blocked in my country but i assume it will do the same unless the upgradeutility.exe is coded in a way to ignore reading the device data and information, if not then how could those people who crossed this problem fixed it, also can i upgrade from SD card and how? thanks in advance to many including olipro for his hard work anyways

lol forgot the notification :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Rabia:
maybe another question, since i have a backup of my old SPL how can i restore it if i can only access the Boatloader mood?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
You can't... and why would you want to anyway? you'd have an unrecoverable device then.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Just tried the Unlocker to my Dopod U1000. I also got the same blackscreen problem after the second stage ( I believe I've downloaded the latest unlocker).

I'm downloading the shipped WM5 ROM to bail me out. Hope it works out. At least I feel fine with Olipro SPL already flashed to my device.

If WM6 is needed, I'll have to wait until July 27th for the official WM6 rom from Dopod (if it's not delayed).

Do I have other options?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Just to inform that I've successfully recovered my device.

Here's what I've done:

Originally, I had a Dopod U1000 with the shipped WM5 ROM.

It's good to mention that prior to the blackout, I used the unlocker and succesfully backup & flashed the Olipro SPL. It failed to flash the Patched Radio since my device battery was low. However, it continued to the unlocking 3rd stage before I pulled off the USB.

Then I charged my device to 80% and reproceed the unlocking to stage 2 when I encountered the black screen. I did a hard reset manually and put it to bootloader and reflashed it with the x7501 ROM. No CountryID error, as if it's superCID. The reason I used the X7501 ROM is because I can't download from the link given by Tupisdin.

After upgrading to WM6, Olipro Unlocker works like a charm. Thanks a lot pal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lpsi2000:
Good observation, and I am glad it worked out for you.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Rabia:
Solved Black Screen

my problem from the early begining was access to my laptop which was provided by work, naturally it will have many security issues in it with restricted access, though i had good access over the laptop and i didn't get any access issue from it i assumed its not related, however the second i put the software on my personal latop at home to continue trying to salvage my phone and opps everything went smooth, tried from work today same problem, so its a security issue

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e30andrew:
Hey All,

I posted this over on r/nexus5 as well, but figured id see if anyone here had any ideas as well.

I replaced my screen/frame earlier today and started having some trouble, figured I'd see if anyone else has had a similar experience and can give some advice.

I replaced my screen about a year ago, and all was well until a month ago. Dropped it again and cracked the screen, so I ordered another. Decided to spice things up and get a red frame as well, so this afternoon I took it apart. Tore it all down, and moved all the parts over to the new frame, everything went over nice and easy, and I got it all about together and booted it up. I see the Google logo with the unlock symbol, hangs out for about 15 seconds, and then reboots. Will do this for a bit until I power it down.

I read some other threads with some similar symptoms. A few people suggested the power button was being held down and causing the reboot, but that isnt the case here. I can get into the boot loader/fastboot screen, and can see it over adb. Soemone else suggested it was the long wide noddle cable not properly connected, so I've reseated that about a dozen times with no luck. I have checked all of my connections over a handful of times, but still the same deal.

So since my pc can see it in fastboot, I ran the nexus toolkit and did the force flash. Files transferred over and were written successfully, and as far as NRTK was concerned, it all went well. so it tells me the phone to reboot, and of course its the same 15seconds of google logo, rinse/repeat.

So I am thinking maybe my motherboard got damaged somehow during the transition? I just cant find any signs of damage, and I was pretty careful during the transfer. This was a replacement from China, but I figured since it shows the google logo and boot loader, the screen is indeed working... could it be the screen/digitizer preventing it from fully booting? I think its odd that root toolkit could still see the device, send data to it, and write it successfully.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e30andrew:
Actually now that I think about it, I will throw the guts back into the old frame in the morning to confirm if it is the new screen causing the problem or not.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspakind:
Hi everyone,

i have a problem with my rooted LG G3 855. After flashing Cloudy 2.5 i want go back to a cm based rom. After installing any CM based rom, my phone messed up. The "Uprade in Progress" message appears. After that my phone reboots and the initializing progess begin again. Anybody else faces this problem? Any solutions? I tried different roms. Nothing works. Only backups of older roms seems to be stable. Dont know what happened. I always did a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Hi,

I've owned all the Galaxies and never had any problems installing ROMs.

Ten days ago I bought an unlocked new GT-I9500 in USA. It's not a knockoff, I've checked the IMEI and I know the device (I've had one for a year back in 2013), there is no chance this phone is not legit (even though it's made in China).

I brought the phone to Argentina, where I live.

When I first turned it on I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so I assume it worked fine. The thing is I didn't get to test it thoroughly at that moment because I installed a 5.0.1 stock ROM right away (I think the phone came with 4.4.2).

This 5.0.1 ROM worked horribly, all apps were force closing all over the place (even unopened apps), without me doing anything, I would be just watching the screen and the FC dialogs would just pile up. The phone was unusable because you needed to dismiss several FC dialogs before you could get to the screen below, and by then you got a new FC coming up.

Many times when I rebooted, it would say it was optimizing 3 or 4 apps, and then it would work a bit better, or maybe a bit worse, it was a totally random thing. It also rebooted spontaneously, Play Store would close spontaneously, many apps refused to update giving error codes like "unknown error 960" or something like that.

Things I already tried:

-Reinstalled same ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE2_I9500UUBHOE2_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar

-Installed different ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE3_I9500ZTOHOF1_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar

-Did all wipes, before and after

-Reinstalled with PIT and re-partition

-Installed Philz and tried "clean to install a new ROM"

-Reinstalled 5.0.1 ROM

-Again tried "clean to install a new ROM"

-Reinstalled 4.4.2 I9500UBUGNJ1_I9500UUBGNJ1_I9500UBUGNJ1_HOME.tar, which is the version I think the phone originally had installed.

-Of course, in the meantime I lost the IMEI and had to restore it from backup.

After downgrading to 4.4.2 the situation got a little better, but I still get several FCs and spontaneous reboots. On one opportunity I booted into recovery, wiped cache, and when I rebooted it got stuck in the boot logo. I removed the battery, turned it on and it did the same thing. I had to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset to get it to boot.

I have two theories:

1) There are some residual files or settings from previous ROMs that I can't seem to get erased, and these are interfering with the new ROMs I install.

2) The phone is defective (memory issue, perhaps?)

Theory 2) seems odd because before installing 5.0.1 for the first time, the phone appeared to work correctly. Granted, I just tried it for a minute or so, but anyway.

Theory 1) seems odd because I did all the wipes, the "clean to install a new ROM" thing, and even re-partition. Can any problematic data survive after all that?

I guess the questions for you guys are:

1) Did this happen to anyone else? Could you solve the problem?

2) Is there a way to erase the phone more deeply?

Thank you.

Ricardo
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The PIT file should repartition the phone, meaning it should also wipe it.

Are you sure it is a GT-I9500?

People tend to repair phones with compatible parts from other phones. In this case maybe they used parts from other S4 models (9505, 9506 etc).

Boot into download mode and check the phone model.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
The phone is brand new, and I've checked all known signs of it possibly being fake. I'm pretty sure it's not fake.

See attached image.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Sound like your storage is corrupted.

If you are out of options then you can try to select nand erase all in Odin. Maybe that could fix it. Make sure to add a .pit file, bootloader, modem, rom and check re-partition before doing that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barankas:
I believe there's no "brand new" S4 in the market right now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcd:
I haven't used philz but twrp .. and if you also install twrp recovery for i9500 ..then you get option for advance wipe .. check everything in advance wipe ( don't forget to take backups .. contacts ..files etc) then swipe to wipe everything .. then go back to main menu and reboot in download mode .. (you may get warning like no OS installed) then install a new ROM via Odin from PC .. you will get a fresh installed ROM

If you still face any FC .. go back to recovery mode .. choose advance then do fix permission .. hope that helps ..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
I've been reading about nand erase. It looks like I just need the ROM and the pit file. Maybe the ROM includes everything else you mention?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotase:
The Samsung official Roms have all integrated, SO, booloader, modem, etc. What lacks is the pit file, you have to get it from other place. I have an I9500 and had those issues when installing 5.0.1 official rom, i believe is not a very stable rom and also drains a LOT of battery. If you can install a custom recovery, try the "[GearCM][i9500][5.1.x] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 for Samsung Galaxy S4" rom, the post is in this forum , I'm currently using it and works awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Ok guys, so I tried nand erase and the results are the same. Used both a 5.0.1 and a 4.4.2 ROM. Could this be a memory hardware error? Is there anything more radical that is left for me to try?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You can try this:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469

Then you can boot a rom from your sd card. See if that works ok.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Will try that.

In the meantime, quick question: I've noticed that after nand erase the IMEI is retained. This would mean that nand erase does not erase everything really. Isn't it possible that some information is preserved (like the IMEI), and this is what is causing trouble?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
This looks like it only works for GT-I9505, mine is 9500. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Oh yeah, sorry my bad.

Did you try a custom rom? Try something like CM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Found this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417600

Do you think it's similar to the one you suggested?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
No, I checked it and it's less advanced. For example you can't boot from sd card.

Try a custom rom and see if that works for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Ok, tried CM12.1 and it has exactly the same problems.

I think it's time to change the memory chip or the motherboard, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Yes I think it is. If you want to do it yourself:

Need help removing pop-up "window" after flashing stock ROM on my Galaxy Note 2

After flashing the most recent stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317M for Telcel TCL Mexico) [Android version: 4.3], [Baseband version: i317MUMBLL3], [Kernel version: 3.01.31-2648572 se.infra@R0301-08 #1], [Compilation number: JSS15J.I317MUMUCND1] with Samsung's ODIN installation application, I get a pop-up window-like on my screen that shows the device's information in yellow letters and I cannot remove it.

Before flashing the stock ROM, I accidentally pressed the "apply update from ADB" in Android's System Recovery *MANUAL MODE* and when the device rebooted I got that popup screen but I am not able to remove it; although I reset my phone to Factory status and flashed the stock ROM using Odin.

Please let me know how / where can I get some assistance to be able to remove this annoying pop-up "screen" or message.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] oslo city:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my note 8 ,

I flashed a custom ROM (stock based) and a month later the screen started to blink rapidly while working with tablet.

It's like every 15 minutes I'm working with it, suddenly the screen starts going off and on rapidly each 0.1 seconds (yes, that fast)

Not like when I turn it off, it just rapidly goes off and on for a limited time,and sometimes it blinks-refreshes so much that the device reboots itself.

ONLY when I plug my charger the problem solvs. But as soon as I remove the charger, the problem comes back

I tried another custom ROM but it didn't solv the problem.

I tried to install a random rom like cola v6 except when I enabled wifi in it, my phone rebooted.

So I wanted to install doom's kernel on stock firmware because I want to overclock the phone.

However I can't get into fastboot. I turn my phone off. Then I hold down the search button, then plug it in while still holding it. It just shows the charge screen. It doesn't attempt to turn on. I then turn it on while holding search and I get no notification led.

Are there ANY kernels that allow overclocking that I can just flash in clockwork without having to use this retarded fastboot?
