I think it will be the best way. It's third day of flashing stock firmware from 4.3 to 5.0.1 NEE an TPL. There ware two times that phone actually booted to recovery and green android appeared. But then phone rebooted and still can't get up.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Snuffie007:
So, my husband had a Mi5 64GB phone, the bootloader is unlocked, xiaomi.eu latest stable multi-rom was on it.

A couple of weeks ago it went dead all of a sudden. There was no live in it at all. I could not put it on, it was not recognized it was not recognised by the pc (I never linked it to the pc, so I had to install adb and miflash), no fastboot, no bootloader, nothing at all.

When charging the phone stayed cool, there were no lights, no blinking lights, again nothing.

So, as it was still in the guarantee period, I send it to a technician and got it back working again, the latest xiaomi.eu development rom was installed by the technician.

In the meanwhile my husband bought a new phone, and, as I had dropped my Mi3, I could upgrade to his Mi5.

But, after cleaning up the phone, I had some problems. I flashed something with TWRP, which worked, it booted up to miui. Then I wanted to reboot and the phone just Now, only two weeks after the repair, the phone again drops dead, exactly the same as the previous time. So I decided not to send it to the technician, as it is in another country and I have to pay the sending cost and it obviously did not do much.

What I then did get off the backpart of the phone, unscrew the top part of the phone (yes, I now broke the seal, bye bye guarantee) and I did the test point method multiple times. I did it after 'charging' the whole night. Sadly, this does not work. The computer does not recognise the phone.

What I also tried was holding a number of key combinations down a couple minutes (volume up + volume down + power), (volume down + power) and (volume up + power). So, I am now out of ideas.

The phone seems really dead, but the technician also got it working again... so I know there has to be a way to solve the problem.

Does anyone have a good suggestion (except from giving up, take my lossed and bury the phone)?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] SilverMarcs:
Last time i had my phone completely dead like this i held fastboot combination for 5 minutes then fastboot mode came up. And then oressing twrp combination, twrp came up and the rest was fine laterwards. I had this issue 3 times till now. And solved it similarly
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Snuffie007:
Thanks, I will try this. With or without the phone plugged into the charger?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Snuffie007:
Well, power + volume down for 5 minutes does not give me anything (not charging).

Well, I tried it again and now it did work! Thank you!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Snuffie007:
So, what I gather now with bricked Mi5 with unlocked bootloader is the following.

If the Mi5 is dead (black screen, no way to get it on), no charging light even when charging, then:

a) If it is recognised by the PC with Qualcomm 9008 try to solve it with the test points method

b) If it is not recognised by the PC, try to hold the power button + volume (= fastboot mode) down for 5 minutes or so (perhaps a couple tries are needed) and then when the bunny is on the screen power button + volume up (= recovery mode) to solve it. What I did do was charge it for a while before trying this.

So this is my first time getting an international phone. My phone is from UAE (XSG) according to the About section. I was not able to check my build before I updated my phone software so I’m not sure which build stock for my phone. My build right now is G955FXXU1AQG5. The other thingamajig that I'm seeing is G955FOXM1AQG5.

I can't seem to find the right one on SamMobile but on this site I think the appropriate file might be on it (https://boycracked.com/2017/06/24/o...os-sm-g955fd-stock-rom-firmware/#comment-1784).

I was trying to install ressurection remix rom after flashing dual recovery.. Before trying to flash it i tried opening the recovery using volume buttons, it did not open up.. So i installed an app which would take me to recovery and it did..

After following the flashing procedure instead of cleaning the cache i selected wipe option from the menu which wiped my system also..

Now trying to reboot it it dosent reboot into the recovery or into the ressurection remix rom..

When i hold power button and volume down, it shows the sony logo and switches off.. When i use power button+volume up, it vibrates 3 times and continues to vibrate until i release it..

Please help me to fix it! :crying: i have been flashing many phones and it worked successfully.. Please help me fix this as this is not my phone:crying::crying:

After that I wipe Dalvik,Data,Cache before installing ressurection remix. After installed the rom, I press reboot and... black screen. nothing happen. I use flashtool and manage to flash back to stock rom.

Am i missing a step before or after installing the custom rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sairaj rane:
Its just softbricked you can download the firmware and androxyeds Sony flash tool

Load the firmware in flash tool

Turn off your device and Connect your device to PC pressing volume down button a green light should flash in LED notifications

Then flash the ROM

PS:- If you are trying to install MM OR N ROM DO NOT USE XZ DUAL RECOVERY,You need to have the latest twrp 3.xx to flash MM and N ROMS

If you need any help PM me

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Amir3022:
Well i think my SD Card is acting strangely since i did the new marshmallow update

When i was still running with 5.1.1 Lollipop i was able to move all apps to sd card with no problems at all,

i did a factory reset to get rid of the root and then updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 and at first i could move apps to sd card normally like i used to do with the lollipop and everything was fine until i restarted the phone, when the phone restarted all apps that were on sd card were greyed out with a small sd card icon bellow each one and when i tap on it it says app not probably installed i knew this was a common problem and leaving the phone for a few minutes would restore it but i left my phone unused for 3 hours and apps remained greyed out so i deleted them and redownloaded them again for play store but this time when i tried to move them it would say not enough space on sd card although there is 6 gbs of free space i thought maybe some leftovers from those apps still remained so i formatted my sd card 2 time once with the android and another time from my laptop ...nothing changed still cant move apps to sd card ...and on plus on that when i connect my phone to my laptop it only reads the internal storage it doesnt show the sd card as if it isnt there

any suggestions?? Any help would be appreciated and sorry for my bad English

This has been effected by the new security feature on Android 6.0.1 firmware so as not to alter app system files. You should also check your SD file system (format) for compatibility. Also if your are running a custom kernel, Android security patch prohibits non-trusted apps from making changes to to execute as system files outside the inbuilt storage

Hello everyone.

I've been searching the forums and have yet to find a solution (at least one that I can perform).

Any way, I have a Softbank X01HT which is a re-branded HTC Hermes.

I purchased the phone in September 2007 from a shop in Hong Kong. I live in the UK and have been using my phone happily for the past 5 months. My phone was blacklisted bout 2 days ago and despite having kept the original box and receipt from the store as a proof of purchase, it seems there is nothing my network (T-Mobile) is able or willing to do.

Is there anything I can do to legally lift this Blacklist of my phone? If not does anyone know how to change the IMEI.

At the moment, I feel very upset about all this because I have bought this phone legitimately and have been using it for 5 months, and NOW... someone can just blacklist my phone?

I have read that there is a solution by using 'Wizard Service Tool' but I need to do something like change it's SPL to 1.1.1. Does anyone know where to obtain the SPL 1.1.1 and how to install it?

Thank you for much in advance and please please please spare me from comments like 'ITS ILLEGAL'. I realize that by UK law it is a crime punishable by 5 years imprisonment. However I have a genuine phone that was purchased legally and I have everything to go with it! If changing the IMEI of a phone that I own to an IMEI of another phone I own is illegal.. well.. thats just stupid.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
dont know of any way to change the imei but

you could try to contact the police and ask their advice

being that it's usualy them who have the stolen phone's

imei's reported to and who have them blocked

i would likely have some advice

after having my imate jasjar upgraded to wm-6, i lost 2 things, my video calling and the screen rotation icon. does anyone here in the xda family have a link that will restore my screen rotation icon back
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Randvegeta:
Isnt that a bit off-topic harrio?

Thanks for the advice Rudegar but I have already contacted the police. They can find no record of a stolen phone with that IMEI and they even reffered me to the Mobile Crime Unit, who dont have any idea about the number being blacklisted. They recomended I talk to my network who said they cannot/will not do anything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
it would make sense to be that there would be some higher place to take it

to make sure that no phone company blacklisted phones of people who simunlocked and

left the company for the compatitions

maybe thats a thing to look into

first step would prob be to try another network sim to make sure that it's a general blacklist
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Randvegeta:
Yeh I have tried. It seems to be blacklisted on most netwokrs but works on Orange.. strange? The funny thing is I bought the phone without a contract already unlocked in Hong Kong so there would be no reason for the network to even blacklist it.

Contact the Citizens Advice Beaurau. There must be something you can do.

If all else fails get the police/mobile unit to give you some kind of written confirmation on headed letter paper that there is no ban on your number.

Send t-mobile a friendly worded but grievence stating email about there having banned your phone for an undescernable reason. State in it the dates and times of your previous calls.

Then get your hands on a legal 'Cease and Desist' letter template from somewhere and send something like this:

WITHOUT PREJUDICE: IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESCIST.

Dear Sir,

I am contacting your company (Herafter refered to as 'You') on behalf of *your name* (Hereafter refered to as 'The Client') to inform you that Your blacklisting of The Client's phone is unlawful. This letter calls for you to immediately cease and descist from all such unlawful actions.

Blah blah blah

You'll find templates and guidance for drawing them up on the net. Works much better if you can find the name of some applicable law to drop in.

Make sure you don't specifically state that legal proceedings will definately follow. State that if they fail to comply then legal actions 'may' follow and that their case will be refered to the business ohmbudsman, trading standards, and your local MP.

I should state right off the bat that I'm not a lawyer - I'm a medic. But I have found that cease and desist letters are sufficient to make most organisations instantly start behaving themselves.

Don't forget the 'Without Prejudice' statement - I believe it means something along the lines of you do not wish anything said in the email to harm your rights to compensation etc....It's a very lawyerly phrase anyway so it's always good to chuck in the mix.

You should be able to find guidelines/templates for cease and descist letters on the net ;)

Good Luck!

Citizens Advice Beaurau? Never heard of them. Are they a British organization?

Just to clarify, here is what I've done.

Contacted my provider T-Mobile. Provided them with Receipt of purchase and a box. They did nothing.

Contacted the police. They have no record of a phone being stolen with my IMEI number. They recomended contacting my provider T-Mobile.

Contacted the mobile crime unit in the UK. They said that that I would have to take it to my provider also as only the mobile phone companies in the UK can unblacklist.

Anything else I can do?

Randvegeta,

I would walk down your nearest high street, find a T-Mobile shop, walk in with all your evidence and don't leave until they have sorted it. It is essential that you are polite but firm.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cyberscribe:
I have a hypothesis... it is only a hypothesis so please don't take offense. It can be tested, but maybe not easily. Here it is. You have been scammed, your hermes is not genuine it is a device that failed QC and was discarded by HTC. Your vendor in HK is dishonest. Contact HTC somehow and ask them about the IMEI, explain your situation and find out if they know anything. They should have a record of every phone they manufactured and may be able to tell you whether yours was sent to a retailer or to the garbage bin.

If I'm right at least you'll know for sure what's wrong.

If I'm wrong... well you know that too and maybe you can advance the ball a bit.

Good luck

Ive already been to a T-Mobile shop. Not helpful at all. I beleive Ive almost exhausted all legal options in the UK at least. I think there are only 3 more options.

1: Contact my supplier and ask for help/replacement.

2: Give up on my phone and let it be lost at my expense.

3: Hack/spoof the IMEI.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tonyb15re:
I think you'll find that T-Mobile don't have to help you as you purchased the phone from an indipendant supplier unless of course it was them who locked it, you are well within your rights to demand a copy of your account information under the Data Protection Act, this could include your account managent info which may identify whether they locked the IMEI or not. I guess the other option is to try and locate who exactly locked the IMEI, not even sure where to start unless you can find a very helpfuls service engineer at T-Mobile.

As said above, contact HTC, they may be able to help, but your first port of call should be the guy who sold you the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Randvegeta:
The shop I bought from.. im fairly sure is quite reputable. It has been arround for a while and is in in the Wan Chai Computer center. I will of course ask but I do not for a moment believe that they sold me a dodgy phone. And it certainly wasnt defective. It was in perfect condition and everything worked. Besides, there are hundreds of legit shops in HK selling the exact same phone. I just bought it from them cuz they had it in Black.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OllieD:
IMEI Barring.

The Flaw Is In The IMEI Blocking Procedure.

I Used To Work For Vodafone And All That Is Required To Bar A Handset, Is An E-Mail Containing The IMEI Only.

Unblocking A Phone However Is A Very Difficult Procedure. The IMEI Ban Database Is Shared Between All Countries Of The EU. Because Of This Most "Stolen" Phones Are Shipped To The Middle East And HK CH JP etc Who Dont Use This Database.

That Said And Done Tho They Should Know The Reason For The IMEI Ban And If Its Because Somebody Reported That IMEI As A Stolen One They Could Check Your Account And See That Your Account Has Been Using That IMEI for The Last 5 Months. And Therefore Couldnt Possibly Be The Stolen One As The IMEI Has Only Been In The Database A Short While.

Its TOO EASY To Make A Typo And Blacklist A Non Stolen Phone.

Prime Example. Your Phones Broke And Gone In For Repair, You Borrow Your Friends Expensive XDA For 2 Weeks While Your Phone Is Repaired, You Give Your Friend His XDA Back and Then Your Newly Repaired Phone Gets Stolen, You Report Your Phone As Stolen And When They Check The System Your Friends IMEI Is The Last One You Were Using On The Account, Employee Doesnt Check Propperly (Copies And Pastes Your Friends IMEI Into A Blacklist Email) And Your Friends XDA Gets Banned.

It Could Prove Quite A Pain To Resolve This Issue..... But...

Call Your Customer Support Desk For Your Mobile Network.

Ask For A TEAM LEADER/MANAGER ( They Can Do Anything For A Customer To Keep Them Happy, Their Privaledges Exceed Those Of Normal Staff And They Can Sort Problems Beyond The Means Of Your Average Callcentre Staff)

If A Problem Gets Escalated To A TEAM LEADER/MANAGER It MUST Be Dealt With. (Company Policy)

They Might Offer For A Team Leader To Call You Back As Their Usually Busy, Althought Your 100% Guaranteed To Get A Callback By A Team Leader As Long As They Werent Jus Fobbin You Off.

I Wish You The Best Of Luck Sorting Out This Mess.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Randvegeta:
Hey OllieD,

Sound very in depth. Ive already spent hours with T-Mobile with no luck.. but will Vodafone help me out? At least tell me who blacklisted me.

As for this database, is it only Europe wide? Or is is World wide? And if it is EU wide.. are you 100% sure?

Just to clarify to people reading, I am using a SOFTBANK, (Japanese Brand) purchased in Hong Kong, and have been using it since September.

If it is an EU database and not a world wide one, I will need to find out who blacklisted it and contact them.

Thanks very much!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ERICCHAK:
Since you are using Softbank, so it should not be blacklist as it should not be used in EU before. please check carefully your IMEI on the phone label match your IMEI inside the ROM, I think the shop clone a English rom to your phone before selling to you (original Softbank should be Japanese rom) and this clone the IMEI also which IMEI reported as blacklisted. (they clone the rom because of sim locked and change English, what they called it is hard-modify not soft-modify)

I stayed HK and I had 2 phones with same situation (label IMEI were difference to the ROM) but still can be used in China and HK, 5 more phones buy from another shop without problem.

The shops you buy the phone with the phone came from the same dealer, so no luck to change, only some shops you can trust.
