[Karbonn Sparkle V] DaWrecka:
My Karbonn Sparkle V appears to have bricked itself, I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it, and I don't have the money or time to replace it. I turned it off when I was going to a job interview, prior to which it was working fine. Afterwards I tried to turn it back on, and for the last 12 hours I've been fighting to get it working again with no success.

I can get into recovery mode, but nothing more. If allowed to try a normal boot, then it will either stay on the "Karbonn Smart" logo screen forever and ever amen, or it will APPEAR to boot, but once it reaches the lock screen it dies on its arse. The best-case is that the lock screen will stay up for about 3 seconds, then the screen will go black for another 3 seconds, and then we go back to the lock screen and the process repeats. OR, the lock screen comes up, 3 seconds, and then we go back to the bouncing dots loading screen forever and ever amen.

I tried a hard wipe from recovery mode - it's made absolutely no difference.

This is a stock phone which has only ever received the OTA updates; I've never rooted it, I don't have a custom recovery installed, and I've never used ADB before today.

I've downloaded a number of "stock ROMs" for this phone, but none of them actually work for me; it doesn't seem to matter whether I try to install them through Recovery mode\Apply update from ADB, or put them on the SD card and try "Apply update from SD card". For most of them, I get the error "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it won't install; I tried to install the stock file from https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/ota-links-t3287707 but that doesn't get me much further; The error becomes

I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing here; Please help.

Hi guys!

I've had the s6 edge for a few months now. First android phone in years, and last week, it suddenly stopped fast charging. It will now only "Cable Charge" which is a pain. Now it takes like 5 hours to fully charge.

I've rebooted the phone, as this was suggested and it seemed to fix the problem for a few days, but it's gone back to cable charging again.

Anyone any experience of this or ideas on how to sort it?

TIA,

Chrissie.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] john.smith:
No offence but just to make sure you've bought a genuine WEP200, not a cheap one sold on eBay?

There are heaps of fake ones in the market. In fact I think most of them are given the price tag is soooo low.

My WEP200 (from eBay) was working fine ever since I paired it. Then today, I get a call and I hit answer on my phone, and hear nothing, rather the audio was still on the phone, I was like WTF... I was just using this WEP200. Then I hit Menu -> Turn Hands-free on, and audio was routed to WEP200.

Before such incident, I'd always answer with my headset, so I guess although it's paired, if you answer on the handset then it won't route to the headset.

My 2 cents.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Maybe you can try using adb shell and dd the .img to its correct partition with the proper dd command for your device. You need to find out which mmcblk0 is your modem partition, then use that mmcblk0 as the .img destination in your dd command.

The same command works in Terminal Emulator app also, you just have to enter "su" command first, then the dd command.

TWRP has the ability to flash .img files also, not sure if it works for flashing modem.img though, I've never looked into it.
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
Thanks for the reply. Yes youre right i could try that and will work .its just i need to do it in bootloader mode/ without root su just in case something goes wrong and i dont have access to root to reflash.
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
ok even using flashwire, it will not flash.In flashfire is says the partition is protected it says it flashed the modem but it doesnt actually. Is there any way to remove this write protection on the modem partition or bypass it to flash?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your bootloader was unlocked correctly then you should be able to fastboot flash it. Are you sure you haven't missed something somewhere along the way?
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
Nope im stumped on this as well.my bootlpader is unlocked even running the fastboot oem unlock command confirms it.frkn LG. I can flash modem in twrp on note 4 with a breeze.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Maybe you need to use LG flashtool and convert the modem file you have to be compatible with flashtool.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Ah, I think I just realized your problem maybe, don't know why I didn't see it before.

When in fastboot, did you try

fastboot flash radio modem.img

Instead of fastboot flash modem modem.img?
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
so i tried fastboot flash radio modem.img and still get the same unknown command.is there any other commands to do this?.i think only fastboot can flash it since partition is locked.i mean flashing a whole new rom with lgup always works in download mode but im trying to flash a modified modem. this is the modem partition path /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. dd doesnt work in fastboot correct because i would need su permission.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'll try to look for other ways but I can't promise any results.

dd is done via adb shell or terminal emulator, not fastboot.

You're trying to flash a customized kernel? You may as well give up on that without root or at least TWRP.

If you have twrp you can try converting your modem to a flashable zip and flash it as you would a ROM but I doubt it will work with stock bootloader.

Have you tried mounting your partitions while in TWRP?

I don't understand why you're trying to do this without su permission when you are already rooted. The purpose of rooting is to use that root to configure the device as you choose. Why are trying to do it without root?
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
Ok so im rooted , bootloader unlocked and have twrp.twrp will not even see the modem partition.there is also no modem mount partition avaliable in twrp.i try flashing modem.img through twrp and can only select boot or recovery as the partition to flash to.do i need to create a flashable zip with a updater scrpit so twrp can see the modem partition ? also i can't flash modem while im in andoid system enviorment, correct? Yes i can dd it since i have root but the phone would have to be on and in android envoirment.So the only option left is fastboot which keeps throwing that error at me.ive also tried flashfire and that doesnt work either.i really appreciate you talking the time to help!

I was just trying to do it without root so i have a fall back plan.say i flash the moden and cant boot into os.at least i know i can fix the problem with fastboot and it will work.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Who do you have service with? Some mobie carriers remove fastboot feature from their devices, or at least remove functionality for certain commands. Some carriers go out of their way to keep us from messing with their devices.

If you made this modified modem yourself then I doubt you got all the modifications correct on the first try, flashing it will probably softbrick or maybe even hard brick the device. If it hard bricks you're done. Flashing modems other than the one that belongs on a device is risky business.
[General Questions and Answers] Sands207:
If fastboot is removed from some devices and i can confirm it is missing on mine too.. How can i add it if it's even possible? would building from aosp source actually work or would i be left in the same boat with no fastboot still?

If fastboot has been removed then you can give up on trying to "add it".
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
hmm i have a tmobile v10 and its the only variant that comes with oem unlock option and was easiest to root.Actually what im trying to do is not flash a modem modified by me. See, i have a network locked v10 and the only way to unlock it is through the tmo device unlock app, no dialer codes , nothing.T mo won't put my request through for a permanent network unlock, even the previous owner has tried calling them.unlock services were less than 30$ near the v10's release now unlock services are 70$-100USD and they dont guarantee anything . thats crazy to unlock a phone.So i've tried putting international rom's on this thing and i cant get a sim unlock promp to show up.I do have the unlock code for it but can't enter it anywhere.Since the system img doesn't hold the unlock info.i figured the modem partition does and searching around confirmed this.So i had a person very very kind enough to upload his *unlocked* t mobile v10 modem so i could try flashing it.Now i have the unlocked modem*not user modified*. that i can't flash lol.

The thing with fastboot is, it won't even let me clear cache partition which is not even locked!?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You'll have to follow the prescribed method of unlocking allowed by your network.

Now that I know you're attempting to do something that your network said they wouldn't allow, that means I have to tell you that there is nothing else I or anyone at XDA will do to help. We customize our devices but we don't discuss things that are against carrier policy.

Their modem probably won't work anyway because the way unlock works, the unlock code for each device is different, their unlock code won't unlock you.

If it were that easy then no one would need to pay for an unlock code, everyone with that device could just share the unlock code, it doesn't work like that. Your unlock code will be specific to your device based on its identifying numbers such as serial number and IMEI number, your numbers and the numbers from the other guys device are not the same.
[General Questions and Answers] jass65:
I understand where you're coming from but please don't say this is against carrier policy.the device is paid off in full.carriers are just a bunch of d**ks.i can't count how many sim unlock/carrier bypasses threads are on this site, so no this site isn't just about customization.this site ****s all over carrier policies from the moment you unlock your bootloader to the moment you exchange your bricked phone by lying and telling them it was a software update when in reality u were messing with system files.ive literally bypassed 3 different phones networks using solely xda.tell me that's not violating carrier policy. These threads are still live years later.

The tmobile unlock app is broken not just for me but for many other people.they cant even connect to the remote server just like me.when you tell t mobile, they just say oh well cause they already milked you for the phone.its circumstances like this where you gotta work around the normal field.

Yes you're most likely right about the unlock but I thought I'd just give it a shot.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As a former Moderator here, I can certainly tell you that unlocking isn't even supposed to be discussed at all at XDA but you will find it. That doesn't mean XDA approves.

If you'll read the rules you'll see all kinds of things that aren't supposed be done or discussed here. XDA is all about sharing knowledge but it is certainly not about breaking the rules, some lines get pushed but they are not supposed to be broken.

Your impression of XDA ****ing all over carriers is not how it is at all, it's the members here saying f*** the rules, not XDA.
