Do you know how to fastboot flash ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beibyboy06:
yep ive already done that because ive recently bricked my zenfone 2 and now revive it using that procedure but sadly my firmware is at super lower 2.13.40.13 i want to update it to latest or to latest marmmallow ! but i didnt know the procedure yet ! im afraid of having bootloop again and again !
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
So you must've flashed that raw file in AFT?

Then all you have to do is flash the latest raw instead .

Can I ask you a question.

Is your serial number correct in boot loader ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beibyboy06:
the serial that appeared in aft ? ive think (123456789abcdef)

dont know if thats the correct format

right know im searching latest raw file for ze551 then flash it to aft right then after that?

where do i get the images files that ive flash in cmd like what ive do in previous unbricking method?

and flashing thru aft with latest raw file of ze551 will required that cmd command?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
Don't do anything just yet , you need your serial corrected , which if not will affect your recovery ;)

collection of raw files on xda by realyoti.

I think .194 LP is the last one he got ;)

You only flash it in boot loader...using AFT .

It is important to do the two part flash in AFT for restoring serial.

Check my unbrick thread , for video and AFT download...from 2:17 mins in .

Before it is xFSTK flash ..which you don't need cause you already in boot loader.

AFT raw flash from 2:17 mins in, follow procedure , at 5:56 mins in -- cmds in blue on phone screen stays on `RESULT=OK` . Shut down , force close AFT , open AFT again - load it up with raw again and press vol+ once , and finish the flash -- serial number will be corrected now ! DO NOT dislodge the data lead while doing this procedure -- let the 2nd flash finish , it will boot into system by itself , recovery will now work correctly too !

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beibyboy06:
in short i will do aft two times? .. then my serial goes back to normal?..

and after flashing latest raw files will my recovery goes back to normal what i mean is i go to recovery when wipe and format belongs?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

im done thank you very much for this ive already done ... im just download the latest raw file then flash it to aft then it automatically reboot and done .. ive got it latest firmware next is how to safe root ..

What Wide Channels do you have available. With the 2.4Ghz network, there are three sweet spot channels you 99% want to stay in, being that you are trying to use wide 40 it is best to stay in either 1, 6 or 11 per this picture here:

http://blog.rfvenue.com/content/images/2014/12/2-4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_-802-11b-g_WLAN-.png

This could be what is causing your phone not to connect as it is looking for those "sweet spot" channels. Channel 3 can have a good amount of interference if you are in a populated area since you are between two of the main channels.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia_Play:
I am so upset right now. I have a history of bad luck happening to me and today is another case of that. I have been saving up for a car recently and I finally got one today! That's all my money gone. I got home, went to use my phone and it's not working. It won't charge (although gets hot when plugged in), not LEDs, nothing. Every time I'm starting to get my life on track something like this happens. PLEASE say there is a fix to this! I have no warranty anymore. Help! :( I have tried pressing power and volume up as well as holding power for over 10 seconds. It's not connecting to the PC either so not only have I lost a phone I have lost a years worth of memories in pictures which I should have backed up but there are some really special memories on there and now they're gone. Anyway way of at least getting my data back????

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiloh12:
Just to say after being up waay too long on this, I discovered there is a newer firmware T520XXUANI1_T520BTUANI1_BTU which I may aswell upgrade to first, but of course I cannot do this OTA now :) As it recognises the device is 'tampered with' *sigh* so gun and games with Odin for Mac tonight, or JODIN3 , just to get the firmware upgrade(which seems to be a jungle of fake download links). before a Rom without bloatware..

I am also not completely clear why, as from another thread about KNOX, as I am basically running stock , without custom recovery.. According to this thread , but I am getting a bit confused now

however this is another story from the ROM install. Apologies :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] guitar1969:
I am using WIndows 10 (Maybe that's the problem) and trying to flash stock firmware onto an XT912 via RSD Light. 64bit Moto driver (6.4) were installed. I put the phone into boot mode, and then connect the USB cable, but nothing happens - After awhile it reboots and the computer sees the phone, but I doesn't get seen by RSD. It seems like it is not connecting via the Motot drivers but just the stock ones. I went into Device manager and made sure all the drivers were updated but can't get it to connect. ANy thoughts o what I can do. I have tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times and they seem to be there, phone is just seeing them.

[G Pad 8.3 General] rfarrah:
I think this tried to install on my rooted (no custom recovery) tablet yesterday. Sent the tablet into bootloops for most of the day until I finally got the LG Mobile Support tool to take me back to 35A.

UPDATE: Went ahead and tried the update again since I was already not rooted (lost it in the transition), and it went smooth - took about 15 minutes.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Revoe:
Downloaded the nearly 1.4GB image after which the install took only about 10 minutes, if that. The first boot requires "Android is upgrading" (per ART compiling requirments), which took another 10.

I don't see any outward changes to the software (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop), but I wasn't really expecting any, based on the release notes. The things I'd like to see added, like LG Backup and a full featured Quick Remote (like the version the G3 uses) could be so easy to implement. Maybe I just need to find the APK and add them myself, but I somehow doubt it's possible without root.

I stand by the post I made about the last software release for this device: Lollipop on the VK810 brought a huge improvement!
[G Pad 8.3 General] DeanGibson:
Misc. notes

Ditto. A weird thing happened during the download. Both my VK810 tablets showed the update available, and so I started the download on one and (for reasons unrelated to the update) started a factory restore on the other to 35A. The 1st tablet hung at about 300MB into the update, and successively rebooting it (multiple times) would only get another 30MB or so into the download after each reboot. Meanwhile, my factory restore on the 2nd tablet completed, and it started the download and quickly moved to apply the update. Once the 2nd tablet completed the download, the 1st tablet download came to life and promptly completed and updated.

Like you, I notice no difference other than that the LG Backup is "missing". A real nuisance, since I have two VK810s, and after the factory restore on the 2nd one above, I would have liked to not spent an hour or two reconfiguring all the settings and apps.

Note to LG: Come on, LG !!! You can buy my loyalty pretty cheaply, since you already have the code working on the G3 and (I think) other G-Pads.
[G Pad 8.3 General] abced123:
any real improvement or just security patch+ signal fix ? Which apk are responsible for the update? I wanna disable it till we can root 36B . It seems like they dont use LGFOTA.apk
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
FYI (for what it's worth), with 36B it looks like they updated the built-in Google Play Store to v5.5.12, and the Google Play services to v7.5.71 (1955121-436), which are presumably the latest - certainly a lot more recent than what was included in 35A_08. Doesn't look like they updated anything else though, including the rest of the Google Apps. Doesn't matter to me though since I always move apps that get updated often to data/app instead of leaving them in system/app or system/priv-app, only to get the updates in data/app.

Also, according to this (screenshot in the post I link to), LG and Verizon must have released this before the latest Stagefright vulnerability was revealed, CVE-2015-3864. All the other six Stagefright vulnerabilities are patched according to this app: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62429575&postcount=145

I delete the LGFOTA folder from system/app then reboot. If it still nags you then wipe Cache and Dalvik.

They may have bought my loyalty already. The screen on my G Pad was having problems from day 1, but got a lot more noticeable up to six months later.

I dropped it off at a UPS on a Monday night and the tablet was repaired (not replaced with a refurb) and back in my hands by the following Friday.

That's much better than my warranty repair experience with a Samsung Galaxy S2 that had it's common power button problem, took weeks maybe even almost a month.

Had stock AT&T SGH-I747 at Android 4.2.2 rooted with chainfire working fine. Today an update installed automatically and now I'm dead.

At first, it would show the Samsung logo and maybe another, then just go black.

Now normal booting, or attempting to boot into recovery gives: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

If attempt to boot into download mode, it succeeds. But everything will end up with "FAIL!" in Odin and show "fused 3 > binary 0" on the phone. I've tried multiple Odins: v3.10.6, 3.09, 3.07 and multiple recoveries (Clockwork 6.0.4.7, etc.) and stock ROMS (UCALG1, UCDLK3).

Even Kies "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiasion" option, where you enter in SGH-I747 and the serial number will go through all the motions and then fail, with the same "fused" message showing on the phone.

Grendelin had the most similar situation (I can't post external links yet, but you can get to it at http:__androidforums.comthreads_at-t-gs3-at-t-issues-after-downloading-newest-update.860382_ by replacing _'s with /'s) as me but the difference is that he was able to flash a recovery image which led to further restoration.

Are you using version 3.07 of Odin? Did you uncheck everythign except f.reset time before flashing?

What about flashing Philz Touch for the d2lte? I was suggesting TWRP because you may be able to re-flash a rooted nj1 system and boot img.

I asked about warranty bit to make sure that the phone was running a 4.3 or newer bootloader. As you may know, the 4.3 bootloader cannot be downgraded so you can't flash anything from sammobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dreamluvr:
Yes, 3.07, and there were only two things checked, "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot". At your suggestion I unchecked the latter but it appeared to have no effect on the flashing success.

Can't get to philz's dev files at the moment since his page at goo.im is down.

I don't understand what is meant by 4.3 bootloader. Isn't 4.3 referring to the Android version? While Android lists the bootloader version in its properties, Android in principle shouldn't be concerned about what lower level, hardware specific bootloader brought it up, should it?

I really need my phone back :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
I really hate to tell you this but I don't think your going to get this fixed yourself. If Odin is failing like that your probably going to need a debricking service that can flash your emmc directly. If you can get a recovery back on then you'll be fine cause you can then flash firmware to repair the damage the OTA did. Keep trying I guess but ultimately you'll probably need the debricking service.

When bootloaders are refered to as 4.3 or 4.4.2 is just referring it to the OS version they came with in the OTA. And while on a pc this is true windows isn't dependent on the lower lever firmware, Android kinda is... least the OEM's have made it that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dreamluvr:
Most people say that if you can reach download mode then you're OK. I can't believe this ****ing phone is just going to sit here and reject everything that's sent to it. In some cases I'm sending it stock stuff.

It's bull**** that AT&T can just impose their updates like this. Yes I had modifications that probably interfered with their intended update, but they obviously exercised no caution, not checking that everything was in their expected state before overwriting.

I'm upset that I supported a gimped device, one that's cryptographically preventing user modifications when it's user paid for.

Is there no hope in simply making a disc image, mounting it, and recovering /sdcard/DCIM ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paulsonmcreilly:
I had a similar problem a week ago. I got this i747 and decided to wipe it using kies. I didn't know about the boot loader problem after the kitkat OTA upgrade. So I had a soft brick like you. I ran into the same problems using Odin to flash the twrp tar and various other images. What I decided to do was flash twrp multiple time using odin. But during one of the reboots I think I removed the cable and put it back (maybe even pulled the battery?) in time for odin to check and say it was successful. Then i had a semi-functional twrp to flash the rooted ucfnj1 image from the i747 dev forum. I still have root issues, but my phone works.
