Hey all,

So I bought a cheap 9" tablet off eBay for use as an electronic billboard outside my dorm room door (cool, huh?)

I've been trying to root it for a long time so I could disable the touch screen/buttons on the device. I don't want people powering it off or something weird. I tried a bunch of different rooting methods to no prevail and eventually decided to try installing a custom recovery image using fast boot. Well, I definitely screwed something up as now the tablet just keeps rebooting as shown in the gif below.

[Gif video] i.imgur.com/ZtU4RtG.gifv

The screen will turn on and off and it seems to do it too quickly to be recognized by fast boot.

Should I paint a target on the back and practice my aim or is there any hope here?

Thank you for reading.

I figured it out! For anyone who has a problem in the future, I'll tell you how I did it.

Get PhoenixCard, it allows you to reinstall firmware through a micro sd card.

blogtechtips.com/2015/11/24/phoenixcard/

Then, get the iRulu firmware from the iRulu website. I checked the sticker on the back of my tablet and my model is like an x1924 (first part of whatever that code is.) I downloaded the "X1921 X1922 X1931 X1932 Firmware_YHK" firmware as it was the closest one. There should be instructions on how to use the PhoenixCard software to reinstall your firmware, but I found that I had to remove the card and try burning again if it failed to burn. It'll say "error" at the end if it failed.

Then I tried plugging in the card and booting the tablet a couple of times until a loading bar appeared on the screen. Wait patiently, and eventually it will turn off again. Remove the card and boot up and you're good!

my tablet

hey my model number says x9 and i am kinda confused because i cant find the firmware for it. itsvthe same 9" 4.4 will that firmware work on mine
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgese:
I also have an IRULU x9 (boot screen says expro x1) I have a serial # jx944wf1507061e. I found the firmware on the Irulu site as firmware for JX944 & JX945 HERE

xx.irulu.com/download/lists.html

replace xx with www

I rooted my tablet but it is stuck in factory reset boot loop. If there is a power cycle i lose all programs installed and the tablet goes back to factory settings out of the box state. However, I still have root and superuser (Kingoroot) installed.

I will try flashing it with phoenixcard and with the factory firmware and post if it fixed it.

***update** Flashed the firmware with Phoenixcard, used JX944 firmware and it is back to factory specs working as it did when it was stock.

[Mate 8 Android Development] natxoga:
Can this be used to reinstall software if theres is some problem with the phone???
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
depends on the model of the phone u have i guess. this rom is for the nxt-al10, chinese version.

btw, does this rom include all the international language packages?
[Mate 8 Android Development] natxoga:
Mine its the NXT-AL10 an has the same firmware version. I´m waiting for the international version too, to see if it will be possible to install it on the chinese model
[Mate 8 Android Development] thomascook:
Ja, es sind alle drin, die Rom is ja untouched

Yes. But you'd need to figure out how to place the file into eRecovery. You may alternatively place the file to your SD card and use the original firmware too to do a "local update"
[Mate 8 Android Development] RedCriwx:
Anyone knows some free download site to get this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
um, u can just use the link provided in the OP...?
[Mate 8 Android Development] RedCriwx:
It says the file is too big, and I need a "premium account" to download.

Have you been able to download without a "premium account"?

Thanks.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad Ali:
Considering how badly the device was received upon release coupled with the 810's throttling saga. Htc did an excellent job with quick series of updates bringing the temperatures down and bringing gains in performance. But still I haven't came across an honest review on the device.

First. I don't know how going with the same design as m8 is a such a sin, it is the most beautifully crafted piece of electronic hardware(arguable).

This is the most balanced device currently out there. I've picked it up for roughly 340$ and it's the best I could've got for the money. It's amazing. Battery life is decent now, display is superb and a rare one to have white balance settings. BoomSound, what can I say.

I'm coming from a nexus 6 to g4 to s6 to this device. And I've never liked any of those devices as much as I love this. It's an absolute beast. It's sexy, very very very very very very sexy. I wake up in the morning and look at this thing for a few minutes.

I just want to use it every minute. It's so smooth and fast. Gaming performance is perfect.

The only thing that holds it a little back is the camera, but I've learned to use it, and that's in pro mode where it's actually quite capable. I love this phone and I wouldn't give it away even if I'm offered a nexus 6p along with a fully furnished house in exchange.

Samsung should be ashamed of themselves with the touchwiz. Seriously, I'm not going to buy another phone unless I break my m9, I will cry whenever my love will die. Oh how I love you m9. I seriously feel depressed when I put it away for a charge. Am I mad or does anyone feels the same towards this sexy beast?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregsarg:
A capable device to be sure..with a style that is certainly flagship status.

The camera is wanting...but I believe in time the code can iron it out..

It's sleek and mean....

If they had only enhanced the display...and given it enough battery to handle the octacore.

All things considered....it's great....but HTC had better iron out the kinks for M10...otherwise they are going to be out of the flagship business by next year....IMHO..g
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddy0209:
I am with you... The cam is not so important to me, it's not the best, but it's not the worst either... I love the design of this phone, my girlfriend has been jealous with it ???... For me, it's the best among its range overall...
[XDA Assist] DrunkenOstrich:
I've been having trouble logging into Swappa with my XDA account, which used to work for me. When I go to log in I click the "Sign in with XDA" button, then it brings up an XDA Developers splash screen asking me to if I trust this site and wish to confirm my identity, which I click "Confirm". It then gives me an error on the Swappa page saying "An account exists with the email address, please log in using your email and password."

This is happening on both Safari and Chrome.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or how I could fix this? I used to use this feature to log into Swappa all the time and it's been a little while but I've never had this issue.
[XDA Assist] dottat:
What this means is that you already created a separate account using the same username on swappa. You need to do an existing user password reset and then once logged in you can link your xda account to your swappa account from within the profile section on swappa.

Swappa folks can also assist you in any of these steps

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazleyp:
have you unlocked your bootloader

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

you do not need to be S off to use custom roms but you do need a unlocked bootloader
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
The boot.img file alone is not enough, you need the full rom.zip, a custom recovery and the latest available firmware
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not enough info, and its not clear the sequence you have taken to try to install the ROM.

Bootloader unlocked?

What version TWRP?

You flashed the the ROM.zip (not just the boot.img)?

What version Skydragon (current version? Sense or GPE?)

When you say it "isn't working" what does that mean? What was the result (stuck on bootscreen, etc), any error messages?

Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial numbers before posting). In particular, need to know main version, hboot number, radio number, CID and MID.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rriyad07:
Custom rom doesn't requires S-off to work.

You have to unlock your bootloader and install

you can reboot to recovery using HW keys - press & hold Volume Down + Power, then wait until LG Logo appears on display release Power(continue holding Volume Down) and pres Power again for about a sec. Then menu appears if you want to do a Factory reset - press Yes(menu appears twice) - then you will be in recovery (hopefully)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wurmfutter:
Okay, I'm kinda stuck here.

Used to have Cyanogen Mod, then upgraded to Venom. Wifi stopped working, as well as cellular connectivity.

According to FAQ, I need the newest firmware. Which I downloaded. Copied it to SD, renamed it 0P6BIMG.zip, booted to fastboot. Image not accepted.

Obviously it's not signed, and since I have S-ON, it's not being accepted. Google / Forum search suggested firewater, now sunshine. Firewater seems to be obsolete, so I installed sunshine - but changing S-ON to S-OFF failed. Installing a signed firmware, on the other hand, requires me to relock my bootloader, so I tried that next.

For that I'm required to use adb / fastboot command line, so I installed Android SDK. But when I start with "adb devices", it returns my device name with the status being offline. Google results suggested updating the SDK, checking USB settings etc etc.

Since it seemed I couldn't upgrade the firmware, I decided to try another ROM (Revolution HD), then I tried going back to Cyanogen, but now the install fails due to an error in the installer binary, if i recall the error message correctly.

Can someone point me to a solution how to:

- upgrade my firmware to the latest version or

- install another ROM which will work with my obviously outdated firmware or

- get my device to respond to adb / fastboot (get it online)?

I've by now read so many different tutorials I get the feeling the more I read, the more confused I am. It's not good for my sanity if the number of open browser tabs exceeds 12. Sigh.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grigoriisi:
The best option for you is the ruu. Find the ruu for your device needs to be the same version as the one your bootloader shows or newer ,older ones don't work.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

You can run the ruu when the phone is booted in bootlader. Windows 7 works best for me. Good luck.

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
He can't run the RUU unless he relocks the bootloader first, which is part of the issue that was described.

But your point that an RUU will update the firmware is correct, and that the RUU or firmware (signed) can only be run if it matches the CID (correct CID, and same or newer version that what is on the phone - meaning no "downgrading").

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

Impossible to troubleshoot this problem (flashing a custom ROM) if we don't know your current hboot number, carrier version, TWRP version, ARHD version.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

To use, adb, the phone needs to be booted in OS (or alternatively in recovery). So if you are trying in bootloader or otherwise not booted into OS, this may be why its showing "offline".

However, for relocking the bootloader, you want to use

fastboot

, which is slightly different from adb.

Reboot to bootloader, select "fastboot" (if its not already selected) using the vol buttons, then confirm the selection with the power button. Then try the fastboot command:

fastboot devices

If the device ID is returned, and online, you relock the bootloader with the command:

fastboot oem lock

After that run the signed firmware or RUU, but either way, it needs to match your CID and MID, and can't be a lower version than what is on the phone (no "downgrading").

If you give us details on your CID and what you are trying to flash, I can see if its appropriate or not.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wurmfutter:
Thanks everyone for helping, but I solved it already. After flashing an older CM version and setting up android tools on an ubuntu system, i could finally connect and issue commands via adb / fastboot - before that, i never got the phone asking if i trust the computer for debugging.

I then wiped system, cache and data, flashed the newest twrp recovery and was finally able to install the latest CM 13 nightly, which works fine so far.

However, if someone could tell me how to s-off, it would still be appreciated.

Sunshine is the only option you have (at least for a reasonable price). All other methods are

A: nearly impossible

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need stock (or close to stock) ROM for sunshine s-off. I believe ARHD will work, not sure about Viper, CM13 no way.

Firewater stopped being supported by its developers over a year ago. Its an online service, so it hasn't worked since the dev support ceased. So, yes, its obsolete (no longer works).

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtreRe:
Hello everyone,

I have since the first time an LG G3 (D855) that I root and that works very well.

Recently I bought a new one from a friend for my girlfriend.

He never root it, he reset it and sent it to me by mail.

At the reception, I turn on the phone and there, I have the LED lights, sound start but nothing on the screen.

It reacts when I put the finger on the screen so the touch sensor works.

I try a restart and battery removal but nothing better.

The screen has no shock but I told myself that perhaps during the trip he took a bad cut.

I hope it's just a miswired table, so I dismounted to check, but still nothing.

ThenI try something, I disconnect my phone too and I swapped motherboards.

And then the screen with my card in it work.

While my screen with the motherboards of the phone I just bought stay blank.

So the screen is not broken, perhaps it was a install problem.

So I use LG Flash Tool to reinstall the original rom (following a tutorial )

Everything goes well and ends without worries.

But that didnt change anything, the screen is still black.

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and sorry for my bad english
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtreRe:

Hope it'll work for you.

Black screen G2 after some seconds even during boot...

Exactly the same problem on my LG G2.

It often go to black screen, but it's not totally OFF. Touch work, and the screen the same, i noticed using a torch that the brightness when to something like zero, but if i increase the level, it stay dark. Only press power button sometimes come back, but few second later... Dark screen again.

It happens everywhere during boot, in home, in lockscreen, in TWRP.

I tried:

- Change rom

- Flash stock firmware...

- Totally switched off for 2 months

- Detach and reattach the screen

- Test proximity sensor in hidden menu

Nothing worked.

If anyone has an idea...
