[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:
Hello,

I'm new to XDA and I really need help in fixing by hard bricked ZTE Q505T (4g) device. I just got this phone like last month and I successfully rooted it, and then i edited something in the build.prop which began my problem. Whenever i boot the phone, logo shows but then the screen starts flashing white and black and vibrates on key press. At then I could boot into my recovery, which I figured out that my device was soft bricked. Allelujah!!! at then, i boot into recovery, downloaded my stock rom which was in a .zip format, copied it to my SD card, tried to "install update from SD card" option (I don't have a custom recovery since my device was too rare), got "E: signature validation error, installation aborted" error, I tried using the "apply update from ADB" option as well and the adb sideload program on my PC, got same error on my phone. Since my device was a qualcomm device, I googled "How to unbrick a qualcomm device" and came across a site where it said (among its steps to follow) to use miniTool partition to format my device's partition, and I did, and that began the second phase of my problem :eek: , cos I later got to realize i just deleted my recovery image as well and the other step to follow to restore it with QFIL was to have my firmware image not a .zip type and that was the only one I could online, a firmware.zip that Just contained the boot.img, META.INF folder and system folder, no recovery.img

and the other stuffs needed. I tried my luck if I could use the extracted .zip for flashing back to my stock rom, but got a Sahara Failed/Error report. Right now I'm stuck :(:confused::crying: don't know what to do, except if someone here could help me to get a backup firmware image with all its needed files for my phone let me try again. My device has an inbuilt battery but thank goodness it is a qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver. Right now the device can't boot up or show any logo or even charge or show the LED, but my system recognizes it as a qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 whenever i plug it in, that gave me alot of hope, I know i messed big time, Please just help me :(:crying::angel: !!!!!

Hello, I have the same phone, and I have the same problem as you, I have not been able to solve my case, do you know any solution?
[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:
No, not YET:crying:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try a Google search for:

"Unbrick qhsusb qdloader 9008"

You'll find many different guides for fixing this, try them all, just make sure that the tools and files you use are for your specific model number.

zteQ505T

My problem is with partition tables I can not install any ROM with recovery, I use twrp, but I do not know how I can repair the partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you have the stock firmware for your device?

[General Questions and Answers] tygans77:
If I have the original stock firmware for my device, the bad thing I can not install,
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you have a PC with adb/fastboot installed and set up correctly?

Can you boot to TWRP and successfully connect to adb?

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:
I don't even have a recovery installed at all on my device cos I deleted my device's partition, The stock firmware I have is a .zip format, with only a META.INF, System Folder and a Boot.img file in it and a ".sh" file extension etc. I don't know where to get a "Stock firmware" for my device with a boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img, .mbn and .xml files etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The file you have is not the stock firmware, it's a copy of your stock ROM that has been converted into a flashable.zip that is designed to be flashed in custom recovery(TWRP). Or its a stock update that only contains a bootloader update and a system update.

It isn't a copy of what you need.

If you can get into fastboot mode then you can flash TWRP then use TWRP to flash the stock.zip that you have.

[General Questions and Answers] tygans77:
Well, the only help I can offer you since I can only get there, this is the TWRP recovery link http://pan.baidu.com/s/1c0BGANQ

After downloading, you should install it using Fastboot by running this command "fastboot -i 0x19d2 boot twrp-2.8.7.0-q505t.img"

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

If I have TWRP on my device I can connect adb and fastboot correctly, but I could not install the ROM via Zip or fastboot or adb since I have problems with the partitions
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Find the full stock firmware. Then extract the firmware until you get to the individual .img files inside the firmware (boot, system, recovery, etc...)

Then use fastboot to flash each .img by itself.

Or

Use adb shell and dd commands to dd the individual .img files to their correct partitions. If you don't understand how to use dd commands then this method is too dangerous for you, if you don't get the dd commands exactly right then you'll only damage your device worse and then you won't be able to fix it at all.

You need the full stock firmware and you need to do the Google search I suggested:

"Unbrick qhsusb dloader 9008"

Those search terms will show you many different guides for solving your issue.

[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:

[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:
UPDATE!!!

Now I was able to get the firmware, but each time I try using other qualcomm flashing tools (except QFIL as i keep getting Sahara Error report), my device just can't be detected for some reason I'm not aware of, anytime I try, either I get stuck at the "Waiting for Device" or a "Can't detect device" error, what can I do please, ANY HELP is greatly appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] tygans77:
I have been looking for the name of the sahara.xml application that I could not get, we were there, you do not have cell phone backup?
[General Questions and Answers] RyanRaphael:
Yes, Can you give me the format of your firmware? like the order of files and folders, just trying to be sure of what i downloaded....

Cos I have an error with ZTE Tool Studio-eMMC Download Tool, says missing tpsfw0109.mbn stuff....

THANKS IN ADVANCE...

I have a Tilt on Dutty's DualTouch v3 rom. everything has been running fine until a few days ago when I noticed that my Messaging services was unable to open and receive messages. i have clicked Messaging from the Start menu and even through the Today screen icons, yet nothing opens. All I see is the box with the circles loading and then nothing happens. I have had a bunch of people ask me if i received their texts and it seems that not only can i not open Messaging, but i am not getting any text messages or any email from my Gmail account that is synced up with Messaging. Can someone please offer me advise on how to fix this? i would prefer a fix that didn't involve installing another rom. thank you for your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jaceson:
No ROM, but no email either

Not an answer to your problem, but I'm having the same issue running on the factory ROM on my Tilt. I haven't installed anything new lately to account for the happening. The most recent install was Opera Mobile, but a quick uninstall yielded no improvements with Messaging.

I'm pretty much to the point of wiping the slate and starting over. Anyone else with this issue?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] antjmon:
Whats your provider? Alot of AT&T people have been having issues recently with the data/messaging plan do you have another phone you can plug your sim card into and test?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jaceson:
Problem solved

Provider is AT&T, but I actually found another thread further down my search list:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350862

I actually had two directories that started with 'Inbox.mst2....' and I copied them to my computer before deleting. The first of the two deleted just fine, but the other wouldn't budge until I went in through the File Manager on the phone itself. Luckily enough, I didn't lose any of my messages or emails with all of this.

It could very well be linked to Xpressmail, but that's strictly a guess.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ramon.nmgn:
Drama ... yesterday a line (+/- 10) green pixels that remain constant GREEN on the edge (dead pixels).

I went to the store, when they are going to sign up for repair and they think this is a guarantee (well i d*mn hope so...).

It is not a "fall" issue or water damage issue. This was suddenly occured.

Edit: Knox is triggered (root). Suppose they solve this problem, without *****ing about the root?

What do you guys think. This will be repaired under warranty right? This phone looks and IS brand new (1,5 month old)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kxdaorbit:
Well Known Fact

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's a well known fact that triggering Knox invalidates your warranty, FULL STOP.:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ramon.nmgn:
They cant be that rude to their customers? It has literally nothing to do with the problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kxdaorbit:
Good Lawyer

I don't think it's about being rude. It's about their terms and conditions. Maybe a good lawyer could argue the case for you, but might be cheaper to buy a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vietkao:
It's not about being rude or not. It's staying true to their terms and conditions, which you should read when you buy the phone.

You could try and sway the person that take your phone in, sometimes when they hear your story they tend to agree with you. My gf did it once with the whole story of being poor and out of a job, heartbroken, etc. the whole package.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ramon.nmgn:
Its a cheap way for them to refer to the terms and conditions. Even when the problem isnt even attached to ROOT...

However, they will send it back without repairing then right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Andrewtst:
The problem is not your phone issue.

The problem is you root the phone.

Once root = no warranty.

Story end and nothing to do with they are rude if they not give you warranty.

Terms already mentioned means once you root = no warranty, nor-matter the faulty issue had to do with root or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tom-Helge:
I think you should read this: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/samsung-knox-trigger-bothers-t3028728

However, you will lose some features like Samsung Pay if you root the phone though. So that's unavoidable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Actually, it's not that simple.

In some parts of Europe, and other countries, the consumer laws mean that the device is still covered under warranty if it's a hardware failure that is not caused by rooting the device, or something along those lines.

The fault described in the OP is a common one that has been around for years on many Galaxy devices. I would say the OP may be lucky and will get it repaired under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The problem with "fit for purpose" claims is that Samsung's interpretation may be different than the customers. So no matter what the "law" if Samsung says no than the customer has to spend untold time and energy navigating the legal process to emerge victorious. That can take weeks or months. It's hard to make a multi-billion company do something against its will.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Andysmith71:
I'm an Australian user with Telstra. I dropped my S8+ in the first two weeks and cracked the screen. I have insurance on the phone where they send out a replacement phone and you just send in the damaged one within 14 days. Mine is rooted with custom rom of course, so all I did was flash back the stock firmware and all was good. My point is that you may be lucky and your chances may be higher if you go back to stock, they may not check and you may be lucky. I did the same with my S7 as well.. I must stop dropping my phones when I get them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ramon.nmgn:
Back to stock with odin, and then went to the store is what i did :)

So no traces of custom roms/kernels/bootlogo's etc etc, just stock. Only thing as said, Knox0x1, but it is not related to the dead pixels.

Hoping for the best, i will keep you guys up to date

Thanks for all the responses.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] NeedleGames:
You are from Netherlands so EU laws affect you. That means that Samsung must fix hardware issues regardless of software (including knox) status.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Who is the insurance through?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] abra5umente:
I would guess through Telstra.

I have my phone insured with Allianz with my home and contents - if I ever break my phone or it fails due to a hardware failure, I just pay $100 excess and get the phone replaced with a brand new one or one of the same value.

Haven't had to use this yet, but I did ask about custom ROM status and they said they don't care, as long as I pay the insurance excess, I keep the old broken phone and get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yea could be. Reason I ask is that if it was Telstra, he was bloody lucky to get it replaced with it rooted. Usually they are really strict with **** like that :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] abra5umente:
Yeah I had to fight to get my S3 replaced after I rooted it and then 10 months later I dropped it and the screen fell off. They said that even though it's physically damaged the root could have damaged internal components. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Can you be sure of that? It's possible for a rooted phone to bypass software that prevents the phone from running past its physical tolerances, so the rooted phone becomes capable of damaging its own hardware. Isn't that the reason they void the warranty if the phone has ever been rooted?

The display problem is presumably a hardware fault. I don't know if or how you could rule out that the fault had been software-induced while the phone was rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ramon.nmgn:
Got it back finally after 11 weeks. New display and battery under warranty. Case closed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] matthew33:
Yup, and nobody knowes it better than me, coz when i took it to Samsung repair store, they told me that repairing my phone would cost £290 and I would have to pay as i've made the warranty invalid by rooting.

Gutted...but had to pay.

Matt
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kxdaorbit:
Sorry to hear that. Did they reset Knox after the repair or not?

Yup, all reset, back in warranty and reprogrammed my original imei into new board.

A case will keep heat in more, but it doesn't create heat... Your temps do seem high depending on what your doing, I see 107F CPU temps with average use (42C) which seems pretty normal to me, and I see it shoot up towards 120F (50C) sometimes during very heavy use, but by that time thermal throttling is starting to occur (~48C) and the big cores are taken off-line.

Nevermind. It would've been really helpful if Google would have told me I needed to put my sim card back in. Not sure why that was required. It kinda defeats the purpose of wanting to stay off the phone company's grid.

Guys, I have an MHA-AL00 that I get an error on Huawei's unlock site:

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail

"The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."

I emailed support in the US but they sent a form letter stating they do not EVER provide unlock codes.

Any advice on how I can get this thing unlocked??
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] audioralf:
Wait 14 days or get bootloader code via dc-unlocker (it costs a few euro. I guess it is 4 EUR)

Watch the tutorial video there. Do not press 'unlock' button, but 'get bootloader code' button.

OK, I guess I'll wait, but do you think that message is confusing enough?? Did you get yours after 14 days, anyone else successful??
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
I'm reading that error message differently -- waiting isn't going to help you. The problem is that you haven't logged into the HiCloud or HiApp services (or anything else using a Huawei ID) in the last two weeks. Re-enable those apps if you have them disabled, log in, then request your unlock code.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
Hello,

I just got a new U11, hoping to use it to test/debug my Android apps. But I cannot get it connect to ADB reliably. I have tried everything I could, including

enabling developer options + USB debugging

adb kill-server, adb start-server and adb devices

revoking USB debugging authorizations

authorizing & remembering my PC

I've tried countless combinations of the above, but adb keeps showing unauthorized or offline. Very very occasionally adb shows "connected", but Android Studio freezes when I run my app. When I unplug, Android Studio immediately unfreezes. But again, when I plug my phone it becomes unauthorized/offline.

My other Android phone works without any issues. Is it a bug with the stock firmware?

The phone is running stock European firmware, with everything stock (including locked bootloader).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
Could anyone please test/confirm this on their Linux laptop/desktop? Any fixes? Thanks a lot!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
Strangely, it works on Windows. Maybe Ubuntu kernel update yesterday broke adb :crying:
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] drzoo2:
I get my phone tomorrow and will update adb and try to connect. Have you tried starting the adb server as root?

sudo adb start-server
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
Yes, I did all adb commands after $ sudo -s

As it works without any problems on Windows, perhaps I should ask on a Linux forum?

For now I would use Windows until I found a solution :rolleyes:
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] microcris:
I have the same problem.

I have Debian in my computer (MSI GS40 6QE) and in my girlfriend's computer (Asus UX32V) . Same update state in both of them.

I'm unable to use adb or fastboot in my computer but it works correctly in my girlfriend's computer.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
Haha, at least the issue is not unique to my phone (and laptop) :laugh:

I suspect Android SDK is most well tested on Windows, at least everything is already set up for you. But Linux allows you to run most dev tools in your HOME folder, so they don't mess things up.

Hopefully someone comes up with a fix.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
My Xiaomi running LineageOS (basically AOSP) doesn't have any issue. Perhaps HTC Sense heavily modified some USB options?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] microcris:
I have no problem with my M8 and my computer.

Android "is" Linux. By that, at least, tools like adb and fastboot must be very well tested under Linux :angel:.

Try to open you computer file browser and to browse or copy some files from/to your computer/phone. I'm unable to do that also.

I tried to root my phone in the same day I received it and I was getting really worried because I was unable to use fastboot (I by that I was thinking that my device was defective), even the simple "fastboot getvar all". Then I remembered to switch to another computer and voilà, everything was working perfectly.

Maybe HTC has something broken in the USB3.0 stack.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spolarbear:
File transfer and fastboot don't work on my Ubuntu either.
