[Q] PLEASE HELP fast!!!

I am trying to unlock my bootloader so im using the automatic thing..
My phone says failed to boot 0x1000. it warned me that this might happen and that i can use the volume keys to select fastboot but the volume keys arent doing anything..
help!
when youre phone is first booting, the very first thing you have to do is hold the down volume key (instantly after boot starts) and then press the up volume key to select it
ok so i did that and now at the bottom it says
"current choice is mode:
fastboot
starting fastboot protocall support"
the next step it tells me to do is turn off the phone while i press and hold volume down
but it wont let me turn it off.. the power button isnt doing anything
please if somoene could help mee
skip that step. You already did that step (what I just told you to do). You now have to run the fastboot protocols that they tell you to use in the "pudding" thread
edit: don't worry man. I'm here to help. Just keep telling me whats going on
i THINK i MAY have figured it out!!!
the phone now has the big Motorola sign with dualcore technology under it and it says
unlocked at the top right.
ill let you know if it eventually finished turning on..
EDIT:
does it usually take this long??????
sounds like you took care of it. If it says unlocked, youre good!
Good job man
does it ever boot? does it take a long time the first boot?
its still at that screen. -- never done this before if you cant tell.
no worries man. Give it a couple minutes!
You'll learn a lot as you keep doing more and more. In case your contacts get deleted, be sure to check out an app called "contact restoration" in the app market from moto. Works great. And be sure to check out faux123's 1.3 OC kernel (most stable I've seen so far) and either the Alien 4 rom or CyanogenMod7 pre-beta 3 (what I run and I love it)
okay ill give it a couple more minutes hopefully itll do somtehing
and yeah I want to put the alien rom on here.. is cm7 pre beta 3 better working than alien?
what do you think
EDIT:
its still at that same screen.. should i be worried yet?
well, for you, I'd suggest running alien build 4 with the alien 4 theme. It runs really smooth and has very few issues. You should do some research into CM7 though...I can do lots of cool **** with my phone that I never knew was even possible with a cellphone
The only problem is it's not a very good "all day, everyday" rom. Some things dont work and there are some quirks but all basic functions work well
stillllll..
man...that's a little unusual. I've never heard of it doing that. Let me ask a buddy real quick
okay because its still doing it haha gt back to me soon !!
That happened to me, just pull battery and reset

thank you so much for all of your help
one more question -- which rom do you think is best?
Alien 4 (or any build) for a standard, everyday rom for sure.
yeah thats the one i am downloading right now.
I rooted the phone now and installed superuser.
once i download the rom and put it in my phones storage do i get intwo cwm by holding power and volume down ?
and then do i just flash it

need help: jtag restore after cwm sd format of ultimate destruction bug!

honestly, i just wrote a giant essay on what happened and it all got deleted when i tried to submit it so im not very happy right now and dont feel like retyping it so ill just keep it short
i (tried) to format my sd card with the clockwork mod app (not recovery) but it failed and when i rebooted my phone was soopah doopah ultra mega bricked³, i believe is the technical term
it "boots" to a black screen when the battery is inserted and none of the buttons, capactive or physical, work and the only way to power it off is to pull the battery
my computer only picks up some qualcomm-usb-whatever drivers (been a while since i plugged it) which according to the internet has to do with some sort of qualcomm download mode
i was hoping to jtag it, because according to the internet, its the ultimate recovery tool, but i have no clue how to use it and cant find a good guide on the internet specifically for an evo or something related
i have a board coming, so now i need your guys help using it and getting the software i need to reload my evo
i just wanna do a 100% total restore of the entire system, since id venture to guess thats the easiest and probably only option at this point
I AM SOOPAH DOOPAH ULTRA MEGA GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP YOU GUYS CAN PROVIDE!!!
note: i would have probably gone to sprint to get a new one a day later, but right now im deployed to afghanistan so even if there was a sprint store here i dont wanna have to set up an entire convoy and send ied clearance and all that good stuff
​edit: drivers are called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" although i was pretty close to guessing the name, atleast i think so
Its not possible without usbjtag.
However, there was also another port that was being experiemented with on this phone, but I don't think anything every resolved.
It is possible. You can be our guinea pig. Search for a thread already about this. It's probably at the beginning, I remember we were going to use this to nand write, before we had root.
But it's just easier to buy insurance.
sure anything to fix this thing
i posted on it that im willing to be a test subject (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188510)
i did have insurance... but i bricked it over here lolz
you mean usbjtag as in a usb jtag board or a subjtag nt from usbjtag.com?
if possible or you run outa luck you could try just sending it to HTC...
Seems others had this issue too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041153
Guys phone was rooted and had this same issue and got a new one from HTC within 3days...
though if you get the thing to work right yourself more power to ya, and im sure the whole community will love to see it happen!
Keep us updated. Read up on that thread in here you posted in, in the Dev section that TrevE was workin on Download mode. Think he was gettin with RevSkills to use that stuff somehow. my memory is foggy though on all that since it was so long ago...
i would, but im deployed to afghanistan, so it would take FOR FREAKIN EVER to get it there and back
im gonna email htc and just say i randomly booted it and its giving me this problem and see what they say. im not expecting much but you never know

yeah. just was thinking b/c itd be with HTC that they'd have to have more options for places to ship it to for fixing than the USA for ya.
i dont even have the ability to send out mail where im stationed at and plus i think the community is close to finding a jtag restore solution (hopefully)
so i think ill just stick it out and not abandon my 1 and only 3d baby just because its in a coma right now (if you guys cant tell i freakin love this phone )

[Q] "FORCED UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING" HOME + VOl-UP- What is this ?????????

Hi,
Anybody know any other mode of SGS2 than these 2 modes?
Why I am asking is, when I was in the noob stage while playing with my SGS2, if my memory is correct, with three combination of button (Vol+Home+power or I started pressing before fully shut down any button or something else I don’t really remember now the sequence and the way) accidently I got a screen with yellow text similar to download mode, but it is sure the only text on the screen I remember in that panic situation was something written ‘Upload’ , that time my SGS2 was only few days old, I was really scared and rushed to press the power button to get the phone off before something is happened,
If somebody has any idea please just share…..
Thanks
sounds like kernel panic but as far as I know, you shouldn't be able to get there with any button combinations, sometimes reboot fixes this, sometimes wipe

"FORCED UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING" HOME + VOl-UP- What is this ?????????
Further to my first post, once again I accidentally got the screen what I mentioned, this time I found out the Keys....
While the Phone is fully booted condition Just press Home Button and Vol-up button together, you will get black screen for one or two seconds like phone is switched off followed by the attached Screen saying
“ FORCED UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING” along with the digits on top….
When you get the this Screen nothing to worry just hold power button for few seconds, phone will be switched off and with another press you can switch the phone on normally....
If somebody know about this just share the information…..
Thanks a lot
Anybody got any Idea.....

May be you phone is a Alien, came from another planet?(joking)
I dunno man, I never saw something like this...
Its a different kind of Download Mode. I would guess that if you can't enter normal DL mode, you use this...IDK.

Ok so it's not even my first rodeo by far, but i seems to have come across your favourite S2 (Lol!) screen myself this past weekend, and obviously again today. I jave to say i have done pretty much everything i could have possibly done to this NOTE 5 SM_N920W8. Successful FRP Unlock, TWRP, my first manual injection of SU & BINARY, even uncovered a huge lot of developer apps and various locking/ unlocking tools, after semi-translating Arabic and separating useless code to find passwords and proper instructional material. I even had the thing up and running quite well, even after playing around with all the developers tools like Combination BoxWares, FRP Hijacker & Gsd Android Tool all over this phone. I managed to destroy any evidence of an IMEI number though. Oopsie. .. but, because it IS a NOTE 5, an ever-so-satisfying battery pull cannot be properly executed, i keep on coming back to the lovely screen which i will post screenshots of now.

The only thing we can discuss about your lost IMEI is to help you restore your IMEI from an IMEI backup that was created before you caused this issue.
If you do not have a legitimate IMEI backup, we have nothing to discuss.
Any discussion beyond that in this regard is not allowed by the standards set in the XDA Forum Rules.

Your a dip****. He didn't ask a goddamn thing about his IMEI number. He was just asking about the upload screen but you obviously have no idea of. I would love to get my hands on you and beat the ****ing snot out of you

Lol, you didn't understand my meaning, that makes you the....what was your word......dips***t.
The reason I said what I said about IMEI is because they had rendered their device inoperable and wanted help fixing it, which is why they came here. They also stated that, in the process of messing around with the device, they destroyed their IMEI. Well, guess what that means, it means that part of the process to repair the device will require restoring IMEI(this is the part that my reply was aimed at) which they did not create a backup of, which we now can't legitimately help with due to the forum rules about not being able to help restore IMEI without a backup. Ultimately, they would have required help from us that is against the XDA rules, not to mention, illegal in some places. Therefore, my reply was very relevant.
Second, I know the upload screen very well, my reply had nothing to do with ignorance of its existence or its meaning. The only ignorance here is you not understanding why I gave the reply I gave and its underlying meaning because you didn't look deep enough to make the connection. But, that is no surprise since this is your first post here and you just joined within the last few hours, you probably don't know enough about this site's rules or what would have been involved in their repair process.

Alcatel OT-903 and the root of death

Hello.
I rooted Alcatel Ot-903 after waiting long for it to be possible for so long, finally found here a solution and it worked like a charm ( the eroot.exe method, it's here somewhere, just look). Damn, i was so happy, it was smooth and quick comparing to other phones and ways to root them with flash/custom roms/other wizardry i dont even remember....
So as a noobie that got a new shiny toy i started checking out what root priveleges actually mean, and installed all i can find with magic words in app's name "rooted device required"... After a few hours i thought... i can really kill that phone now if i just go crazy with all that power i just got granted... better do backup, or even beter - TWO! just in case! Better safe then sorry....
One did with cloud backup on sdcard and the other one after getting 3 diffrent backup apps - finnaly got to be done with Titanium Backup Pro6.0.2. patched ... that went smooth too... so i was confident now im safe...
till the phone wanted to restart (not sure what wanted that) and after rebooting it just shows logo and wont boot...
And now im almost 100% sure i killed it for good with my desperate efforts to fix it, without actually knowing what im doing (tested every option in mtk droid tools & SP Flash tool i could think of, even more, messed with recovery mode and got it to not work, and finally when i was told TItanium and Cloud backups i did wont help anything either, stock rom maybe would help, but just try google that... thats when i decided to finish torturing that poor device and just cut it's pain myself... and didnt try that Format button yet in SP... format whole flash... yeah that sounds like should end it for good.... so it's not showing logo now, wont go recovery, not responds to mtk anymore, just blue lamp when on usb... and i know now that boot loop could be fixed, and probably someone will say it's not dead and can get it working again.. but i just lost a friend and im sad because of that... little phone that just wasnt ment to be (rooted)
The End
now honestly being serious with this... dont mess with your phones too much when get them rooted... seriously dont !!
Hope u at least got a little smile while reading this.. Im really felling stupid and sad about what i did to my phone...
So need to punish myself with sharing all that with you...
Have a nice day everyone...
p.s. actually i know a few things more about android's guts and how it's built and working... so at least got something positive from it...
:good::good::good::good::good::good:
Did you try plugging your usb lead in with the battery taken out? If you plug it in, then put the battery in, you might hear it connect then disconnect twice. If it does, then you can use ONE TOUCH UPGRADE, you can download it direct from Alcatels site. Run it, connect phone without battery in, then put it in and wait. It should detect the phone and start downloading stock rom.

Has anybody ever really "bricked" their Device? Whats your definition of "Bricked"?

Has anybody ever really "bricked" their Device? Whats your definition of "Bricked"?
I asked because I hear this a lot and i hear just as much if i that if it hows any life at all, it can be saved. ( i fully agree). and also you will hear just about everything you do can and will brick your device. ( i understand why this is said) but how many of you have actually had to use your device as target practice as this is the only fun thing you can now do with it? I get everybody defines it as pretty much any problem you have...just get on this site..every single post somewhere is "help i bricked my phone". "did you turn it on"..."oh wait , thanks" Now i get the fear, especially when i first started messing around with android.. i guess i am the type who thinks its easier to just try and figure it out by reading then to ask and I afraid you will laugh at me and call me names.."DID YOU READ ALL 6567 PAGES BEFORE YOU ASKED"..NO THEN TOUGH, HERS HOW..." JK love you all, casue i will ask in the future.. so on the topic if you all don't mind I would like to tell you about how I and I alone have a hard time bricking.... Please don't take this and go try any of what i said i did in this story...you will brick your phone OK now that is out of the way I would like to say ... I think its impossible.. ( its not....) yes it is
Hello land of android. I just wanted to tell my story of the S7 edge Live demo unit of H Ell. I have one and I went to remove the retail version or what ever it just wouldn't boot anymore. I could get in blue down load screen but that it. I tried for 2 months, in between my other phones and not caring anymore about the phone ( my friend gave to me, he had two that he got while working at a Verizon at best buy store in the Midwest and it shut down.. he managed the store and they told him to toss the phones....in case your wondering as every post i see about these somebody is calling the guy posting a thief in one way or another...EVERY SINGLE ONE, besides this one ha ha jk, one of you will) anyways I have flashed and flashed and flashed with no success, I finally got twrp on it...OK, now i am getting somewhere. still took 3 days and many a thing I flashed, at this point it has a boot loader exception error that i have never seen nor could find many people on here that have. Used to have "USE smart switch to recovery cause your update failed" or something like that and a half a dozen other errors from doing stuff that i don't fully understand. I tell you, to people who are worried about bricking their device.....I am starting to think thats a myth...i tried my hardest to brick this phone ( i flashed every zip file i could get my hands on, its started to be a joke to to see how much the phone could take..i was flashing zips of different phones he ll i was flashing zips that had nothing to do with Android at all. back to what i was saying couldn't get it to boot either so i was thinking maybe that this mythical BRICK i keep hearing about. I do this to all my phones and every single one of them, thanks to all the knowledge and amazing people on this site, reading posts not asking..wanted to point that out, i am not wasting peoples time asking them to help me fix things I am trying to screw up on purpose. ok back to it..I got all my devices running, rooted and blazing away every single time...."knock knock"... he he get it cause i am at my desk.. huh ..my WOODEN desk.. right...come onahg nevermind..i suck at life, anywho back at it.... ITS my way of leaning. ( should of seen my computers back in the day trying to learn what the hell "Windows was". ) Anyways I am just rambling on about this to just say, its a lot harder to brick your phone then it is to do anything else to it. IF YOU LISTEN TO ME AND GO TRY ALL THIS DUMB STUFF AND BRICK YOUR PHONE...TOTALLY YOUR FAULT FOR LISTENING TO A RANDOM STRANGER ON THE INTERNET...DON'T DO IT. Anyways, i finally got the live demo unit SM-G935X booted with a Rom..i tied them all.. like 4 at least ha ha and a bunch of stock firmware. I flashed the Flyme on it, which i know nothing about and the mo-fo booted up after two months of nothing and just crazy errors.. Its now saying its a SM-G935F. its rooted and everything..way cool. I just thought i would share or if anybody needs to test a program, file, or apk..... anything...ill be your GG PIGGY. ( for stuff you are actually trying to make work, i don't need programs written just to F my S up... i can most likely handle that on my own....edit...actually,,this would be funny....nah never mind. no intentional screw ups...yet..just talk me into it... Its going to be my mission to see how much this phone can take...you know ..for science and all that. But later, right now i am gonna enjoy playing with my new S7 since i just got it going. BUT SERIOUS..DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OF THIS, YOU WILL BE THE ONE WHO BRICKS THEIR PHONE.. Also wanted to point out my S5......yeah that little F'er can take some abuse as well. Even my daily driver one plus 6t has already seen its share of the Jrod thinking he is some master developer hacker dude. that going to figure out the next awesome thing we didn't know we could do. ( not even close...not even in like dog years of life times or ...wait that s shorter isn't it,,anyway back at it the One Plus 6t oh yeah ... it cries at night, i pretend i cant hear it but I know whats up. Anyways thanks for letting me ramble on & on. Sorry this was a mess...i get to excited and type way faster then i can think. ( my English teacher said i was going places....ADC but still its somewhere,,,i did ,,damn,ok never mind back at it. wait no i am done. I would like to hear if anybody has like totally killed their device with software ... i get you could put it in the microwave and brick it,,, i fell for that twice.. i want to hear if it happen to you and how. .so next story. or just completed delete this and ban me.. I deserve it.
