I have also a similar case. I tried to flash with YGDB tool, but it did not flash. It stops after 1%. The phone displays "download failed images -aboot". The phone model is Yureka Plus Yu5510a p0. Does this mean the phone is hardbricked?

Help please!

Try to flash TWRP using fastboot

If it flashed successfully then your problem got resolved.

It shows aboot failed may be there is problem with CBP file.

Try to flash other CBP file ( try 1st version)

If not solved

Go-to yuplaydev and download latest fastboot package and flash using fastboot

Follow given steps in official site.

Good luck

[YU Yureka General] nischait:
Flash original stock firmware

Find it at www.firmwarefile.com

Choose actual model

Install first version.

Check ygdp tool version also 3.98 is working perfectly.

All other versions creates bugs, hangs in between or flash failed etc.

Cross check it

Hello

Just updated my gf phone with kies and official update, think she was with android 4.xx and now on 6.0.1 but wifi is now broken

Did try to wipe cache but didn't help much, did try factory reset but seems the bug appears again

Wifi turns off and on too often with no reason

Found this topic that says stock rom has broken wifi

Anyone know if there is any fix for this ?

Or a decent alternative rom with android 6.xx ?

Thanks for help

Please, type *#1234# on your phone keypad, and verify that the builds of all three partitions shown on screen belong to the MM ROM.

Often wifi malfunctioning is just due to a flash problem that leaves the CP partition (modem) with the old version.

Unemployed, in the middle of a job search, and my Tilt succumbs to the RLoD. Yay!

Looks like the only solution is to obtain a replacement phone from AT&T. As a flash-aholic (thanks, Dutty ;)), I'm really wondering about their replacement policy, as some have mentioned that they'll bill your account for the replacement phone in some cases. (I obviously refuse to pay for a replacement phone when mine is dead after only three months... much less pay full price for a refurb!)

It's been determined that this problem is NOT isolated to reflashed phones; since stock ROMs succumb to it as well, my flashing has nothing to do with the problem. Obviously, I can't flash back to the original ROM because the phone is a brick. However, because it's a brick, they won't know I've flashed a custom ROM until they repair it somehow.

So is the charge billed to my account only as long as it takes for me to return the broken phone? Is it only billed if I fail to return the broken phone? Will it show up down the road when they realize I loaded a custom ROM? (Again - unemployed, so can't afford to pay for another phone anyway.)

Finally, and most importantly - has anyone with the RLoD (or any other phone issue) returned a custom ROM-loaded phone to AT&T? If so, what was your experience?

Thanks so much - using my old Sony Ericsson Z500a for the past week has been ridiculous, and I really want to know if I can make the call to AT&T or not...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
ok, well first of all pay attention to the warnings... 3 months old or not when you flashed the different spl, or cooked rom you voided the warranty.. yes the phone could be defective, but any manufacturer can refuse repairs or charge you for the repairs since it was flashed with a non htc/att rom..

As far as the return process... its an advanced type rma in 99% of the cases meaning they will ship you a refurbed unit with the materials needed to ship yours back... if they dont recieve your defective phone within so many days they will charge your account for the replacement(this is to prevent fraud, obviously). I have also heard in some rare cases where people were charged for the replacement after the repair facility notified of an unapproved rom/bootloader on the phone. and in some cases people get away with it...

so its 50/50 shot... i would do everything possible to return it to a stock bootloader and rom before sending back (which in your case you might just have to roll the dice..)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
ive exchange many phones and i dont flash to stock roms and ive never had a issue
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
I was in the exact same position as you about a month ago. I got the RLOD about 4 days into using my tilt and it had been running the HTC stock rom for 3 days, I flashed it the day after I got it.

When the RLOD hit, I was really worried. I was in the 30 day return period, so all I had to do was take it to the store and get a new one. I knew they wouldn't be able to tell in the store, as the consumer and retail end is really non-technical. I was afraid that if they revived the phone at ATT tech or HTC that they would find out.

This said, I built a little contraption at work that hooked up to my 12v car battery and wires into the battery prongs on the tilt. I figured the tilt could handle 12v without catching on fire - it did. However, I'm completely sure they any data will be completely unrecoverable, and the only thing that will salvage is the case. I figured they have no way to call you on a total phone fry, because it could be lots of things that cause that. However, you should have heard the noise it made. I almost made a video, but it was too incriminating. 12v is devastating to a phone, it was cool! I cooked a 600 dollar piece of equipment and got a new one!

That was over a month ago, no word from anyone. Also, I saw on the RLOD post that one user said HTC replaced the whole motherboard as that was the issue - if this is the case I'm sure that all of your old data stored on the ROM in the motherboard goes in the trash as well, as they probably don't take the time to machine re-solder used boards.

Your probably fine, as all RLOD's seem non-relivable. If you want to make a 12v fryer, it's easy. I took a lot of time on mine, because it was fun, but the gist of it is to get a wire from positive to positive and negative to negative from your 12v to your phone. If you do this, please be careful, and DONT touch the wires together because it will cause and arc and melt your prongs - no good. I built a full fryer with a switch and everything, but it was overboard.

My 2 cents.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
Also, to avoid this I am sticking with the ATT rom from here on out. It's too risky for something so expensive. I have my phone the exach was it was with the stock HTC minus a few small things. doing a hard reset and pulling the battery before customization works miracles. Almost everything else is available in cabs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
The AT&T ROM is by far the most boring and least productive IMO. Couldn't you flash to the HTC ROM and be fine under warranty/returns?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
It is boring, but when you get rid of bloatware and install the joys that HTC has available its pretty much the same as the stock HTC rom. You can still get the cube and today screen and everything else in cabs.

I think your voiding by hardSPL, not by having the stock HTC ROM. The egg comes before the chicken.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stozmon:
Just a thought...

Does anybody think that there is a correlation between phones being sent back to AT&T with HardSPL still on the device and the fact that HardSPL has not worked on the latest display driver (1.57.00, 1.81.00 and 1.82.00) equipped Kaiser's?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
You are correct - I'll have to roll the dice, as there's no way I can return it to stock condition. It won't start.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. So far, I've got:

someone advising that sending it back is a 50/50 chance

someone who has returned several phones with non-stock ROMs without repercussion from AT&T

someone worried enough that they fried the phone completely (awesome!)

So now I only need to hear from one last person: someone who HAS had to pay for a replacement phone from AT&T. For any reason, but specifically because you had a custom ROM on it...

Thanks again, all!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Maknificent:
Lol...I've returned 2 tilts to at&t with flashed roms, and I haven't had a problem yet...That's right I'm working on my 3rd tilt since october ^_^ I LOVE AT&T

So made the call yesterday, got the replacement phone today, less than 24 hours from TX to CO. Great customer service, but I couldn't get them to pick up the overnight shipping as some had said I could. $12 ain't bad though.

Hopefully my custom ROM-flashed brick won't do me in for $500, but I'll let y'all know if it does. :eek:

Are you bricked too? Or merely curious as to the fate of us cursed few? ;)

In other news, my replacement unit won't stay connected to the cell network. Even when it occasionally shows 4 bars, I can't make or receive calls. OS is sluggish too. Guess I'll flash the radio, maybe the ROM, then maybe send THIS one back too.

Does anyone know if my new IMEI number might affect my phone performance? Meaning, do I have to call AT&T and let them know my new handset's IMEI number?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
short answer is no...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
You and I have had identical issues! After I got my replacement, I couldn't make or receive calls even with service. It's not the ROM or radio, it's ATT. I had to call and get to a higher level tech, because everyone else told me there were zero problems with my account and that I must have bad reception at my house. I knew for a fact I have full service at home. Whenever I tried to call it would beep 3 times (beep (pause) beepbeep)... after about 2 hours he finally got it to work, but I have no idea what he did. I did have to read him my IMEI about a thousand times though, and he was digging pretty deep to find whatever he got to fix it.

Good luck. Since I had so may issues ATT gave me 25 off my next 2 bills, which was cool.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
Well that's a good deal - hopefully it goes as well for me.

I was going to call directly to the warranty exchange folks, but if you got it fixed over the phone, then maybe I'll call support first. No sense in sending it back yet again if I don't have to...

Too bad you have no idea what he did, though. :(

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xconradx:
Yeah, I wish I knew what he did too. I basically sat there on the phone and listened to him type away for about 2 hours while he asked me to reboot/read my IMEI/Go to the store and get a new SIM card... which I dont think did anything to help althought the problem did not get fixed until after I got the new SIM. He did a couple OTA 'fixes', but I dont know if that helped. Really, it just sort of started working while I was on the phone with him.

Good luck though!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
Thanks - you must've had someone smarter than me. I called customer support and talked to them for fifteen minutes, then was put on hold for forty-five minutes when they transferred me to tech support. Tech support tried for a half-hour before telling me to call the handset replacement number instead. Called them for the second time in three days, then talked to a tech for 15 minutes. On hold for another 45 minutes for another tech who was responsible for sending me another phone.

So either mine wasn't a phone issue or someone was willing to spend the time that your tech did to figure it out. I'm not worried though - I'm actually rather relieved, as the phone was also sluggish in performance, and I'm not sure just fixing the the connection problems would've made me happy anyway.

And they upped me to free overnight shipping this time. Third Tilt's a charm...?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
Converting this thread to AT&T Exchange NIGHTMARES

Ok - so my Tilt RLoDed and I exchanged it. (Crossing my fingers that they wouldn't discover the custom ROM I'd flashed to it.) An hour on the phone with customer support.

My replacement Tilt looked brand new, but was a refurb - and for obvious reasons! It had severe connectivity issues - it wouldn't stay connected to the network and I couldn't place or receive calls. I exchanged #2 a day after receiving it. (This time I was able to restore it to factory settings.) Three hours on the phone with customer support (busy day?).

I received my second replacement Tilt, and it didn't look nearly as good as the first replacement. Screen was smudgy, chrome had tiny scratches. But it seemed to work! Got it flashed, customized, and then my USB connect/disconnect sound started going off on my computer. I touched the plug, and realized that it was slightly loose within the Tilt's socket. I figured I could live with it, but now it won't connect to my computer at all.

So when someone's phone breaks, why does AT&T send out refurbs? Refurbs obviously have problems at a higher rate than new phones by their very nature, and people needing an exchange unit are obviously more apt to be pissed off easier anyway.

And seriously - what does "recertified" even mean? Obviously someone returned my first phone because it wouldn't connect and my second phone because of a crappy USB connector - does AT&T just slap a "recert" sticker on it and call it good without even addressing the original owner's complaint?

Anyone else with AT&T exchange nightmares?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kevinniven:
Att return

I called Att on Sat with a problem with my 8525 After about an hour she said she would FEdEX me a new 8925. Fedex just came about an hour ago and when i opened the box it was a new 8925 in a new sealed box:)

ATT rocks!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
That's the OPPOSITE of a horror story. If I wanted you to make me ENVY you, I would have asked for it. ;)

So if my old 8525 broke down, I'd get a NEW 8925. But since it's my new, expensive 8925 giving me trouble, I just get second-hand crap in exchange.

Nice, AT&T. Nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
allright, as an old ATT Mobility employee here's what to do:

If you know it's dead. Just call XBM or Handset Warranty Exchange.

If CS or The Warranty Dept tries to transfer you just say:

The LDI ( Liquid Damage Indicator ) is white, the Battery Connections are Gold,

and I've already tried to take out the battery and simcard and put it back in. There is no physical damage. And I've had the phone over 30 Days but it's under a year ( should be a no brainer since the Tilt is under a year old )

They should then just process the exchange because those are the only questions they would've asked you.

The replacement WILL BE A REFURB unless they are out of refurbs and only have them new. Don't bother trying to argue. HOWEVER if you've been sent 3 refurbs and you've gotten problem units for 3 then the 4th you CAN ask for a new unit and usually they HAVE to give you a new one. It's ATT's no lemon policy.

Last word of advice, please don't come into the store and ask to do this in-store. We can't do it. It's not that we won't, it's that we can't. As odd as this sounds, there's no integrated inventory system that we can access at the store. CS can't just ok an exchange and we do it.

oh and regarding custom roms:

For a pda device, as long as the boot and splash screens are the same as the tilts, the likelihood is they won't notice the difference. They'll just chaulk everything else as a program added by the end-user.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
Wow - that is great advice. Where have you been? :)

So basically, if I can't get this USB plug to work, I have to exchange it with ONE more refurb before I can get a new unit, huh?

Interesting...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kevinniven:
I'm calling my buddy at the ATT store for you. Also I have had the store exchange for me in the past!! I will PM you after i talk to him.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] icewhitenewyear:
I actually bricked my phone, took it back (within the 30 day period) and was like... uhh my phone kinda died... i was just sending a txt it rebooted... then it was at this tri-colored screen?!

They totally believed it. Got a brand new phone...

So yes, people at the store are extremely gullible
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
Well, be careful with that.

It falls under 3 categories of reps.

Category 1: Don't know crap. ( I've worked with someone who couldn't memorize jack crap about any products after 3 months, also couldn't figure out how to work a register in those 3 months, but was accepted to work and train as a paramedic. Scary Crap. ) But this type is rare. Not SUPER Rare. But rare. Reason being is number 2.

Category 2: Knows their crap. These are basically the reps you wish you got first. Category 1 reps usually ask Category 2 reps for answers if they don't know. Category 2 reps like and know the product. However not all category 1 reps ask Category 2 reps everything.

Category 3: This is a mix. And is the majority of the reps. This is where Category 1 and 2 reps go after working a few months maybe a year or more with the company. These reps DON'T CARE. We're cool with anything as long as a.) you're not an ass b.) you're cool c.)We just want you out of our face.

But be careful with Category 3. IF you ARE an ass. We will do everything in our power to make sure you don't get helped, at least not by us.

Now if you're asking "why do this to us customers?" Because customer's give us **** and back for everything. And then some. If your cool though, if you make our job easy, we'll make your job easier.

oh and I promise this is my last piece of advice.

NEVER EVER EVER BUY FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER UNLESS YOU KNOW FIRSTHAND OR FROM A FRIEND THAT THEY ARE LEGIT AND HONEST. I swear %90 of the angry customers we used to get were people that got jipped by an authorized dealer.

bute icewhitenewyear, as long as it's under 30 days and not water damaged or physically damaged, we don't care if you messed with the firmware. Why? It all comes under chargebacks. If the rep won't get in trouble with a chargeback. It doesn't matter to us. Just as long as it's not obvious.

This is by far the most accurate and valuable info when dealing with anyone in customer service.... im in a similiar position and if the customer is cool, or has been totally screwed over by my company i am sympathetic and will bend over backwards for you, but if your an ass i will do everything i can to make your experience worse (and usually the best way to do this is follow the methods and procedures set forth by your company) this also keeps me from getting into trouble... :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
18 - have returned their Tilts

23 - haven't had a problem

That's almost 50% of Tilts failing.

There ARE three factors I believe could contribute to what might otherwise be an alarming stat:

People visiting this forum are "power users," who use (and abuse?) their Tilts to the extreme OR

non-power users just looking for solutions to problems they have with their Tilt (whereas non-power users with functioning Tilts wouldn't visit).

No matter who is in this forum, someone who has had to exchange their phone is much more likely to click on a thread named "AT&T Exchanges" than someone else.

There's also only 41 votes - hardly a number you could use to draw conclusions.

Also, this thread would probably be better out in the main Kaiser forum. (But it began life as a thread asking advice as to returning a phone with a custom ROM on it. Maybe a mod could move it.)

So, despite the stats being skewed, there's still way too many exchanges, way too many RLoDs, IMHO.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
Well you've answered your question there. It's hard to draw a realistic statistic ( not to mention statistics are statistically wrong ) from a forum thread. We as sales reps used to say that razrs were crap because we got a huge amount of them back defective, but that's simply because they were the phone most sold.

Similarly, your gonna have alot of people coming into this thread stating that they've either had no problem or had tons of problems. Why? Because the title of the thread says, "AT&T Exchanges - YOUR NIGHTMARE STORIES." That'll typically draw in the crowd that's had problems. Of course you'll get people like me that have had no problems because we're interested and worried about what problems everyone else is having.

Just my .02
