[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
Well, you have been only lucky for 1 reason:

You always 'bricked' your device when it was in the middle of flashing the OS! This does not really matter as long as BOOTLOADER and CID are intact!

Do the same experiment but this time pull the plug at 15% and you will most likely fail to recover from that! At around 15% is the moment where the CID block gets written to the phones ROM.

Be very carefully that you do not 'brick' your device earlier because of in the state before 15% IPL and SPL are getting flashed! If you destroy the bootloader you can't do anything anymore!

If you are going to try that out please flash your phone first with the nbh from the CINGULAR WM5 (it is in the wiki) by using CustomRUU! CINGULAR WM5 has KITL enabled and you will be able to 'unbrick' your device by using the GUIDE in the WIKI.

I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR DEVICE TO A POINT OF NO RECOVERY POSSIBLE!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
CID block is never written to the phone, it's just an area of storage inside the GSM chip.

however, if incomplete code is flashed to the GSM chip, the radio AT interface cant' boot... and then there's no way of talking to it, hence making it now dead.

On a different note, if the Radio Bootloader is in the middle of flashing (although I believe 0108 is persistent) and the connection is broken, you're now royally ****ed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
So, the GSM chip is not in the phone then? :D

<just kidding!>

However,

pulling the plug around 15% will most likely end in a brick! That was where I had my pc crash - thankfully KITL was enabled! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ihavetinyballs:
Tried again

Okay I did this at 12% and then at 16% (could not time it right for 15%) and I was able to recover. If I am just one lucky bastard, and this is highly against the odds, I would say don't do this on purpose like me.

My only point of the experiment was to see if I was to ever brick, at least I knew of one possibility that would recover it. And when looking at it like that it was a success.

Now that all is back to normal, I have HARD SPL.7 and have no issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TryOG:
HARD SPL? try a different SPL and then try it again...

Oh yeah... Try to kill your bootloader too... And if it's like one of my devices

(HTC Charmer with a black screen... Only the power led lights up for half a second when I press the power button)

then try to flash your "holy" rom :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cmonex:
eh, i don't understand why people call it bricking if only the OS needs a reflash :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ihavetinyballs:
I wasn't clear. The phone was never hard SPL'd till after the experiment when I decided to lock the ***** up to keep it safe from doing more stupid stuff. The os flash wasn't all I crashed out on. I did this with this on purpose with the radio versions as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cmonex:
then you are crazy :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
There are 2 possible explanations for your "luck":

Either the ROM you're flashing contains nothing but the OS and maybe the EXTENDED ROM in which case it does not really matter if you pull the plug because of your BOOTLOADER and GSM will remain intact or your FLASHING UTILITY 'ignors' the BOOTLOADER / GSM flash and writes only the OS and EXTENDED (which would have the same effect as case 1 when pulling the plug!).

However,

flashing an entire ROM takes a while, especially between 12% and 30% if you flash IPL / SPL / SPLASH / GSM / OS / EXTENDED - there is enough time to pull the plug at 15% because of it takes almost a minute until it jumps to 16% ...

I don't want to animate you to try that out because of sooner or later you will brick the device for sure!

Can you host the ROM file + flashing utility you used for your experiments, so, that we can download it and take a closer look?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrinternet:
OK I'll bite where is WM6 AT&T ROM?

I have a bircked phone tytn (tried to unsucessfully unbrick around 50 times), not sure why or where it bricked.

Can reload but sticks at screen alignemnt EVERY TIME.

Was given as a challenge (failed so far).

If I could find this and it worked I be happy chappy long time. :D

If it works of mine it will work on anyone's.

Give it up dudes (or duedess if there is one out there).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ihavetinyballs:
Here is the secret. Use the bundled WM5 Cingular ROM from HTCs download site.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rob8:
Do you have a link, filename or even better can post on Rapidshare?

Edit: btw, the moniker is hilarious!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mcorrie1121:
He gave you the info you need. Go to HTC's site. Or use google.

K since i took the time to post this I might as well link it. :)

Go to the bottom of this page.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
It is about time to give out a WARNING !!!

People, do not try to brick your device and trust in that you can recover from that by using the ROM from the HTC's website! This is not a magic tool and it won't bring your Hermes back to life if your device is really screwed up! There is nothing in the Cingular ROM what 'magically' does the trick! IHAVETINYBALLS was either just lucky or he isn't really bricking his device (consciously or unconsciously).

If you do not believe me ask other senior members with lots of experiences, such as OliP ... :)

However, I know there is no way of stopping fools to do foolish things, so, go ahead, destroy your expensive toy! You can always find a new one on eBay ... ! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ihavetinyballs:
For all the retards who don't get it. (meaning the point)

To the dip**** retards who don't get the point. Like I said, I am probably just lucky. And like I said again, DO NOT try this unless your phone is stuck and ****ed, it was just an experiment. I have two 8525's one I bought as a refurb from AT&T for $99 and another one that was from an angry owner who threw it away at the AT&T store (as it was bricked and now "useless") and I pulled it from the garbage bin. Recovered it (just did a hard reset and put in a new battery and factory ROM and did a few experiments.

It didn't cost me anything and I did put a warning out there. The point of it all was that if you give up on bringing it back to life, maybe just maybe you should try this out.

Obviously if your phone is working just fine, don't do this or your a ****ing retard. Its meant for bricked or stuck phones as a possible recovery as it worked on said phone numerous times in various states of bad flashing and various types of ROMs.

This phone is now running vp3G 3.62 and now has HARD SPL.7, and Radio 1.54.07 and is running flawlessly.

So one mans brick/stuck frustration is making for an excellent spare / backup for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nmonger:
trying now

ok - have hybrid brick (no KITL, screwed CID and radio)

if everyone crosses their fingers at the same time maybe it will help???

will post back results!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nmonger:
Bugger

thanks for giving me hope! but alas...no good

hopefully someone else can figure out how to get back from a hybrid brick of no KITL and SPL 1.09
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
Did tou try to connect via mtty and read out your CID? It still might be intact! If you can read it out try to find a ROM with the same CID and flash your device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nmonger:
hi, forgot to mention that cid is also corrupt.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Dr Puttingham:
Is this April Fool’s Day? A thread created by someone trying to brick their PDA... WTF?

Nothing personal but you must have tiny balls for brains, LOL! You sir have been lucky, trust me. I've personally had good luck recovering from screw-up’s by bootloading and flashing with an Official ROM but you're playing Russian Roulette if you're purposely doing this. That dawg's gonna bite you on the ass one day, ehehe!

Hopefully the rest of the people here won't follow in your footsteps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ihavetinyballs:
Its a good point, but it was basically rescued from the trash anyway. Works great now, so I am pretty happy.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesvw:
I have a SM-G920I, stock rom. When I dial *#06# an imei appears, it looks totally normal and its not blacklisted, but it doesnt match my imei on the back of the phone. It has not had a housing replacement or anything like that. In addition I cannot connect to my network, it says not registeres on network when I try to make a call and on my notification panel it says selected network not available. My sim does work on other phones.

I have thought that it might be a modem problem, but the imeis would still be different.

Plus, Ive thought of flashing xtrestolite and then exposed framework, then install exposed imei change.

Please help.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] youngniggapreach:
The twitch app will stop streaming after a minute or so. The problem pertains in other apps as well as in chrome. Found a thread on reddit (can't post link because just registered)

there AT&T sent an update and that solved the issue. I am in Europe and my phone is from another EU state. Is there any fix for me? I believe this is a wifi issue as this doesn't happen when on LTE/3G. I haven't received any updates since I got the phone a week ago. Netflix seems to be working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] youngniggapreach:
Any insight? This is definitely a wifi problem, since twitch streams just fine over 3/4G. It is most likely related to other numerous wifi problems that the s7/edge have. If so why is it that cell providers in america released fixes and oem phones didn't receive any updates so far? Have samsung released any statements on the matter?

Its kind of a big deal for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TeamSlayr:
You dont happen to use a Adblocker that works only on wifi? I have noticed some "streaming" does not work very good with a wifi-adblock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] youngniggapreach:
Nope. This problem is exclusive to s7/s7 edge. There's a couple other threads like this around the web, as well as many other that report wifi issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Smoug:
I have the exact same problem. I'm living in Norway (europe) and no fixes from my provider yet. I even returned my phone and got a brand new one today, but the new phone has the exact same buffering issues after watching twitch for 5-10 minutes. What I also noticed is that when the buffering starts, the Internet doesn't work in other apps also. Have to disable and re enable the WiFi. Really hoping to see some genius figure this thing out cause it's 100% an issue with the phone/software for galaxy s7 edge. I had the phone on service 3 times before they finally gave me a new one. What they did was factory reset (which I also did), change WiFi antenna, changed the whole motherboard. Nothing fixed the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] youngniggapreach:
Yes, this is exactly how it goes down. Soon as the buffering starts some other apps (neflix, instagram) also don't seem to be working. Normally, I wouldn't reconnect to wifi, but just wait for a minute or two instead.

Now, I've been travelling a lot lately and I noticed that the problem doesn't occur everywhere. Once I was even able to watch twitch for 3-4 days without any interruptions, some other places I was not able to watch it at all, but that was mostly due to ips. So, I suppose it could be a router/ap incompatibility issue, which seems pretty strange as the problem only appears in twitch. What I've also noticed is that if you set quality to high rather than source you can go on for much longer without buffering.

I've received 2 updates (from samsung i guess) since I started this thread. First update about a month ago (some 350mb) didn't fix anything. Second (19 mb) just yesterday, haven't had the time to check properly yet.

The only more or less real solution thaat I found so far is outing the stream to VLC with the TC viewer app (I'd tried doing the similar procedure with mx player and other twitch apps with no success). And if you do that you can even notice where the buffering is supposed to occur, but instead vlc just stops video for a second and continues streaming like nothing hapenned.

So far this whole thing is a mystery to me, but connectivity issues are pretty common with the s7/edge. For example randomly dropping mobile data for prolonged periods of time (~30 minutes) hapenned to both me and a friend.

Ps. Ever since i got this phone i started spending less and less time on watching streams, which I am pretty happy about lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Smoug:
Hey thanks for sharing your workarounds. I will have to check that out. Yes it might be a router compatibility issue. But then what causes it? It's definitely the g7 edge that doesn't work cause I've had 5 or 6 different phones working flawlessly on my router. It's so weird that this is not a huge problem, only like 3 guys posting they have some issues:p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Youcanwonder:
I am having the same issue. I dont stream often but i use twitch when i do. Problem is not my wifi. My note 3 did not have any issues. Once i started using the 7 edge is when my buffering issues began.

I have used different devices to watch the stream and they work fine. Is there a download that that i need to do? Or should i take my phone to Sprint?

i think i just found a fix not sure tho i watched 1080p twitch stream for about 2h without a problem. i just downloaded an dns changer app and put in google's dns this worked for 2h for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
No good news from me, they eventually just gave up and told me they won't look any further into it since it's a "third party app" despite the problem existing even when using the browser.

Will try your dns fix.

EDIT: DNS didnt do it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] youngniggapreach:
This may be a bug that lies very deep in samsung software/hardware, I broke my phone and had to switch to 2013 Note 8 temporarily, and it has a very similar issue - 1080 streams stream for just about 1 second and then stop, sound keeps on streaming. Streams with resolution below 1080 stream just fine though.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm looking for someone who can help me with step by step to uhh... fix my phone. It's a Lenovo s650 and I have tried to flash it via fastboot, but to no avail. And because of that, I'm here now. Please take a note that I'm not that good with these things so please bear with me. Anyhow, the phone is now kinda retarded. You know those pop ups, saying that something has stopped working, yeah... basically, I'm getting spammed by em'. So, there's no time really for me to do anything on the phone like going to the settings or even changing the usb mode to debugging without being bombarded by em' every sec. Thus, the reason why I want to flash it. (cause I think flashing is like turning them back to beginning, like after a reset?) Oh, and before that I have already tried hard reset. That, of course, didn't work. :crying:

Please help :)

P.S. Sorry if something is wrong with my English. But I hope it's adequate enough for you guys to understand what I'm trying to say.
