Lenovo S898T+ flashing rom problem

I have a problem, after flash the phone is working (play boot sound, buttons illuminate when it touches), but the screen is all time black.

My phone is Lenovo S898t+ , originally rom was in developer version with many bug`s:

- no possibility to change time zone

- most applications close itself after starting

- almost 60 % in chinese language 40% in english

I downloaded ROM Lenovo S898T Plus 4.2.2 from xdafirmware (I could`t find stock rom 4.4.2 working with SP Flash Tool - incorrect scatter file format)

When I used SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1516 whit this rom phone turns on for 3 seconds with a black screen and then turns off - This situation is repeated over and over again. (Stuck in Boot Loop)

I tried many different versions SP Flash Tool but without a good result.

Only when I use SP Flash Tool v5.1416 phone is working (play boot sound, buttons illuminate when it touches), but the screen is all time black.

Phone orginal rom information:

Hardware: MT 6592

Model: Lenovo S898t+

if you have sound, buttons illuminate but screen it`s black it means that you have rom with wrong kernel ver.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeppacher:
What is the nature of touch handling for android? Is it device specific as different displays are used across devices? I am trying to find where exactly in the massive mess that is aosp I should look to find the code relevant to touch/gesture detection. Currently really frustrated with my nexus 9 as the touch detection is ****e. I turned on pointer mapping in the developer options and it appears that the moment you touch the display it tracks a point and waits to see if its a swipe or single touch. The travel needed to tell it that you are swiping is very substantial and it only seems to track 2 points for this large travel. The reason this is frustrating is that when you are writing with a stylus or what not, every letter must start with a straight line segment as it detects that you are just touching the display vs swiping. Handwriting degrades and writing small curves becomes nearly impossible. I would like to take a look at the code that handles this but can't seem to find an easy way to browse aosp. Don't even know if at this point it is a fault of the android system, the kernel, or just a hardware limitation. I appreciate any assistance

Just joined this site today but had known about it since forever... Anyways the reason I have joined this site in the first place is that there are many people who are so waiting for an exploit, a way to root our Samsung Galaxy A7 s . Many sites including this one claim to have the binary thats able to install super su binary properly but this has been tried numorous times on the Samsung Galaxy A7 SM-A700FD ( Any os version [4.4.4, 5.0, 5.0.2] but none work. They simply corrupt the os and it needs to be flashed its stock firmware in order to boot up but fortunatly there is no data loss. The point is that why does this site claim to have the proper root file while it doesnt and the main question is WHY HASNT ANYBODY COME UP WITH AN EXPLOIT ALREADY? while the phones release after this one have their own root processes already( Samsung). Its just a sincire request from me and a lot of other people out there, that please xda help us and create a proper root process for the Samsung Galaxy A7 ( SM-A700FD) .

I have tried the first method already but it does not work or support yet. But cai I be sure that the second method works? 'Cause I have the latest firmware installed but as a backup (in my PC) I have a firmware (lollipop) that is about two versions older. So i dont wanna corrupt my persent firmware ( i can flash the back up, no problem but just a cution)

Moto G 2013 Keep reboot to recovery after bricked

HI, I have a Moto G XT1034 on hand with strange issue.

One day the phone was not able to boot up correctly, it stuck on Android screen and keep rebooting.

I managed to root the phone, and install TWRP, and load up 5.1 version ROM.

But every time phone reboot, it will boot to recovery mode, and I have to select reboot to bootloader and in bootloader select BP Tools (or other option) in order to boot up the phone

I made a boot up process video below

What is wrong with my phone? I have try re-flash the ROM, but nothing changes.:mad:

I can't post the link, but if you go youtube and search "YzxAe9WpwOw" you can see the boot up video

Incorrect..

Note: Developer Preview 3 includes final APIs and near-final system images available by both download and OTA. At the full public release of Android M later in Q3, final system images will be available by download only, so you'll need to flash manually to your test devices.

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible :) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bamse:
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.

But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!

Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] galaxys:
If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] tiartrop:
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] quangdx:
i agree with tiatrop,

i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.

you can peel them off and reapply them,

the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.

and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sotian:
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ztrain:
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] tiartrop:
I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] McTell:
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.

But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?

Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.

I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...

fullbodyshield

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

Does it come with one of those scraping tools to keep air bubbles out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
wouldnt a credit card or anything similar work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] stevebonning:
I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.

But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:

talking about shieldzone...

i ordered mine with free shipping more than a week ago and im yet to see what i bought.. does it really take that long?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] galaxys:
It does not come with tools, but the instructions recommend a credit card. Note that this is re-applyable if U have bubbles on the 1st try.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] stevebonning:
Bapski;

I read the shipping options closely; if you chose the standard shipping, it will be 7-10 days, so yes, it can take that long...hopefully it's worth the wait.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ericc191:
Thanks for the info
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
i hope so too! coincidentally, i just saw SHEILDZONE's ad here.. did not know they were a sponsor..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Oleschuldad:
Full Body Shield

UPDATE: I contacted ShieldZone(Now Zagg) and inquired about a free warranty replacement after reading the lifetime warranty... in order to get the replacement you are supposed to mail them back the old one...unfortunately I no longer have the old one since I returned my phone for a warranty replacement. The CSR told me they allow a 1 time warranty replacement without returning the old shield! So, they are sending a new one out in the mail. I only have to pay the 2 dollars and something cents for shipping. Gotta say, great company. So if yours ever does get damaged, dont throw it away...remember to keep it so you can send it back under warranty..

PS: someone was asking about installation...this one comes with a small black squeegee like tool and some spray liquid to apply...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bobbyelliott:
To use or not to use a screen protector? That is the question.

I've used screen protectors on and off for several years and none of them can compare to the look and feel of using the standard (unprotected) screen. So the question is: is the trade-off between protecting your device and the user experience worthwhile?

On my current phone (TyTN) I don't use protection and I recently picked up a small (shallow) scratch on the bottom corner - but I've had it nine months and I will replace it in another 9 months when it will be obsolete anyway.

So I would advise you to just be careful with your device and not use a protector since you will most likely be fed up with your phone long before scratches become a major problem,. Just my two cents... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] yatrg:
On my previous phone (8125) I managed to rub out two spots in the middle of the screen by playing Handmark Monopoly. Those were the spots where you spun the dice and hit OK to the window that told you info. So I got a screen protecter and was not happy with it. However, when I got the 8525, I told a freind at the office about it and he got one too. He then brought it over to show me his Today screen, and after I looked at it, I mentioned that he should probably get a screen protector. He started laughing and said there was one on there already. I lookd (much) closer and there was. It is the best I have ever seen. The feel is smooth and slippery like the actual screen and you can not see it on the screen. He got it on eBay from scsourcing. Here is a link to an old auction...

http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392...&lk=ItemDescriptionANDimage&Item=300127243351

I have been using it for about 2 months and I love it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Oleschuldad:
I think it really depends on the user and how they carry/use theirs..I keep mine in a pouch case on my belt at work, but when I'm off or casual I like to keep it in my pocket...its very easy with keys/coins etc to scratch up the screen without protection(and the body too...which is why I bought the body shield)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
finally got my FULL BODY SHIELD and i think its ok.. (im more concerned of the LCD screen anyway).

unfortunately the cut-outs really do not line up with the 8525. so its funny how the areas on my phone where there are visible scratches are still exposed. :D

anyways i think this shield will do for now.. will see how it looks tomorrow and hopefully itll fit well with my mount..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mr304master:
Just wanted to put my experience up here for those looking for a non-web based solution. I purchased the iphone screen protector from the apple store. It's a nice crystal, non-stick, washable, static cling protector. I just cut it a little bigger than the screen, carefully put it on, and slid the excess under the edges. I think it was $15-16. So far works and looks great, :cool: !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
just an update on the full body shield. i do think its worth it.

no problems as to sensitivity of LCD. feel is ok too and looks like it made my device fit better with my holster. only thing though are the spots that the shield missed because of the not so precise cuts.

i do have a bone to pick with them (shieldzone) though as i am still to receive the TYTN shield that i mistakenly ordered for my 8525. and i ordered it a day or so before i ordered the shield.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] IraSeigel@hotmail.com:
Could you please say if the keyboard is accessible with the full body shield in place. There's no mention on their website. I appreciate it.

BTW, the Boxwave snap-on leather case looks good. I've just sent them an email requesting info as to whether it comes with a belt clip.

Thanks,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bapski:
it certainly is. the FULL BODY SHIELD only covers the external casing. you just have to make sure that when you apply the shield parts to be careful that it does not cover the "slots" of your device (where your keyboard and your lcd casing meets.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ClausSanta:
I can buy at e-bay what to buy?

p.s. maybe buy some kind of case/holder/folder
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Oleschuldad:
leather case

side note: I bought that case..it is plastic covered with leather..only problem is it made the problem I had with my phone getting white screens due to the pressure the plastic puts on the edges of the phone. In my case the white screens would happen any time I put pressure on the lower top corner of the phone. This case put pressure on that spot and made it worse..I eventually stopped using it.. plus it just seemed to make is sooo bulky
