I'm trying to update my Dell Venue, i'm doing an update because my dell's wi-fi got error. I think its the only way to make it work again.
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Holding up and down volume then turning on phone will get me to the recovery mode.
3. Press Camera for picking the SW upgrade, it says that there is no update.pkg in my sdcard.
Please help me.
I have update.pkg in my sdcard so how will i do this?
What is the content of your update.pkg? What is your current version and build number?
As far as I can guess, it wouldn't work

Hi, could you please give more information?
Which version are you using now?
Which version of update.pkg that you intend to use for your upgrade?
Version in update.pkg should be greater or equal than the version you're using. Have you confirmed this?
I asked the last question since I met it before: I tried to flash update.pkg of 319 from a 325 -> error. In this case, I had to flash 319's recovery.img first, then proceeded with the upgrade.
Hope this helps!

Put the update file on the SD card, turn off the TFP.
Hold the power and Vol down buttons until white text appears at the top, then press Vol up to enter the recovery mode.
It should find the update from the SD card and update the TFP. when it reboots it should be updated.
if should also find the update when the OS is booted as well, provided you follow the instructions on where to put the file.
getting the update to apply with the serial number not showing is another story which i don't have the answer to, but it SHOULD work.
thanks guys ill try this latwer when i get home and tell you how it goes
Documentation Here (pages 3-5)
update went well but still no serial number. oh well

Please connect your phone via usb to your pc & enter fastboot mod. Flash orginal firmware with this tool: http://forum.eternityproject.eu/mot...a****-ed-motorola-razr-official-roms-t27.html.(for En.Eu you should try this fastboot files: SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot).
As the subject says guys, I rooted my gf's x10i and installed cwm via Flash tool 2.9.1. Was about to unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom when (I swear this was the dumbest moment in my entire life) I clicked the "Optimize button" (FOR NO REASON) I'm on 2.3.3, it said "phone rebooting", my phone did nothing so I disregarded it. however, when I restarted it, the phone went to the sony erricson screen and just shutdown and restarted again and again and again. I booted into cwm recovery but to my horror it kept saying sd card in use when i try to intall a zip from sd (which I learned from this site means it's the wrong ver. cwm for my phone) So the gist is phone restarts every 10-15 seconds, I can't use cwm properly because of the version. and flashtool because it keeps resetting so quickly.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
just simply reflash ? or use SEUS to flash stock software ?

Ok so walk me through this because I'm pretty new to it. When you say you reflash before you get to the SE logo. Does the phone have to be in fastboot? (hold back button?) because flashtool detects it and then it disconnects due to the restart. THANKS FOR THE REPLY!!
the way i do it is
1 select what im flashing (then it will tell you to turn off phone etc.etc.)
2 remove battery
3 unplug phone
4 reconnect phone
5 hold back button and keep holding it
6 slide battery in while still holding back button
about 5-10 sec later it should get detected :s
i really hope this helps because i dont think theres anything you can do if you cant even manage to flash the phone :s
ill look for simular problems and/or info :s
---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------
this might be a stupid question but try recharging the phone a while if your not doing that already .
The charge light doesn't come on and yea with the 15 second restart, as soon as it is detected, like a few seconds later it restars and says disconnected. I looked all over and there is noone I find with a similar boot loop. I tried wiping my data via cwm recovery but same problem.
Ok so this might be a dumb ass thing to ask but I will ne way. If I can get a backup of someone else's x10 would I be able to apply it via cwm? Or will that fail like the zip install?
i've bin looking around aswell and couldnt find any simular problem
so the only thing i can suggest is not keeping this in the X10 Q&A but try the general aswell this might attract more people scouting trough.
but tbh im unable to see any options because as im reading i collected this info.
1) cant fastboot/flash anything (no option there)
2) cant use CWM recovery cause its the wrong version and reads the internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???)
(correct me if im wrong on the second one)
if this is the case what else is there ?
Hi, sorry about your problem. I don't know a lot about this phone but ill give you the steps that got me going when I had a different issue.
This was in an email directly from Sony, hopefully it'll help, if not then at least I tried.
To Repair your phone Software, please follow the steps below:
Click on this link to download PC Companion http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/pc-companion/ .
Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer. Run the Software.
1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9.
2. In the welcome screen if asked click on Start, next you will be shown what Media Go offers, click on "next" then you will see a presentation on what Support Zone offers, click on "Finish".
3. In the next section from "Support Zone” and "Media Go" new select “Support Zone" and click on start.
4. On the next page select "Software Update" and click on "Start".
***At this point if you get an error stating that "unable to install update components" or "server is busy”, please proceed to step 12.
5. The program will say that there is no phone connected and will ask you to connect but disregard that and instead choose the option to "Repair Phone". (The program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update).
that any data saved only in your phone memory will be erased as part of the Phone Repair.
6. Choose Continue.
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (several minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose the X10 from the list (close to the bottom of the list) by clicking on the icon for the phone. Then click on "Next". Then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (Don't connect it yet!).
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC but not to the phone, then while pressing and holding the back key (the one on the lower right part of the screen that has the icon of an arrow pointing to the left on top) Connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the back key until the program says "The update of your phone has started..." (In some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "The update of your phone has started..." is shown.).
10. If the steps were not followed exactly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar".
happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).
11. If PC Companion proceeds correctly with the update it will tell you to release the back key.
the update to finish and follow instructions on the screen.
12. If you receive the message: “Unable to install update components".
a. Close PC Companion.
b. Install Java from: http://www.java.com.
c. Start Pc companion again and try to do the software unlock process once more

I bought a LG MyTouch 4G Slide (myTouch Q)
I rooted it, upgraded the software, everything was great.
I was flashing a theme through zip and suddenly, it cut off and now my phone is unresponsive.
The LG splash screen shows twice, followed by displaying the following message:
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't find misc
Finding Update Packages..
E:unknown volume for path [SDCAR
D:/download/(name of the zip file)]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/(File location)
Installation Aborted.
Factory Reset Failed
Restart Factory Reset
Then the cycle repeats its self.
I cannot access bootloader (power+volume down) no matter how many times I try, it continues to do the same process.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find the answer to this problem, does anyone know how I can make my phone work again?
how'd you upgrade the software? try loading a stock rom either through your computer or sd card, I'm not familiar with the exact process for a slide, but that's what I'd try.

I did it the old-fashioned way. Went into settings and searched for updates, then T-Mobile updated me OTA.
The phone worked perfect prior to the theme.
Every file I've put on the sdcard seems to not have any effect on this problem.
Do you know where I can find a stock ROM for LG M4GS? All the one's I've seen around are for HTC.
I downloaded ODIN but it only tells me to connect the phone when it's plugged in via USB.
I'll donate to whoever helps me, really need to fix this issue.
how'd you try to flash the theme? through a custom recovery?
and why did it stop?
did you give hard factory reset a try? (dunno what exactly it resets but it might help, and it might actually be exactly what your phone is trying to do according to the screen output):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20310765&postcount=8
if that does not work, try to at least get some more logcat:
install the android sdk, plug your powered-off-phone into usb, run:
adb logcat
it should start the service and be:
Code:
- waiting for device -
then power the phone and post the output...
good luck
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Attached is a screenshot of the error I receive everytime.
The phone does not stay powered off when USB connected, keeps trying to boot.
After two splash screens, the error screen shows.
I used SDK to obtain the screenshot, but none of the other tools seem to work.
Below I have attached the screenshot.
so did you try the hard reset?
if you did, can you get into recovery mode (supposed to be A [QWERTY] + F [QWERTY] + Vol Down + Pwr) or s/w upgrade mode? (E [QWERTY] + Vol Up + Pwr)
if you can get into either one you're probably ok.
through recovery you can flash whatever, and through s/w upgrade you can use a tool called LG Mobile Update Tool (you wrote about odin, which is a samsung tool for samsung phones. this is apparently the lg equivalent):
download the original 2.3.6 firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825818
and do what they say here (its for the mytouch 4g but i guess the process is the same. you might wanna read up on this a bitbefore you do it):

I looked every where for this and hope it does not violate any rules - but wanted to repost so that it might help someone else. Again if it is a violation then I apologize but was just before returning to LG for repair.
If you have a tmobile prepaid LG c800 ( may work with contract phone not Sure) this should un brick your phone. I am not the author and take no credit it came from here :

1: Download and install Drivers from LG site Mines is C800VL. http://www.lg.com/us/products/documents/LG_OSP2.0_Setup_2.0.07.20111130.exe
2: Download and install LGMobile Support Tool leave open i read it is needed to flash. http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
3: Download the .kdz file Its for C800DG but works for C800VL , C800VL don't have a kdz file at least i don't know i looked every where. V10D_00(C800DG).kdz - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
4: Open LGMobile Support Tool leave open.
5: Download the Flasher from post one
http://androidforums.com/attachment...s-porting-custom-recovery-over-updater-2-.zip unzip and install msxml.msi included with zip
open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe set to 3GQCT - Smart Phone(WM)
browse for KDZ file (V10D_00(C800DG).kdz)
click lunch software update and you should be in S/W Upgrade mode wait for program to finish if it errors leave phone in update mode and click lunch software update again.
One note make sure to download the correct version, there seems to be several the "LGMobile Support Tool"( file name "B2CAppSetup.exe") one will take you to the LG site and do an automatic update and tell you that your phone is not supported and to contact LG and the - "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" it will be the one with the "browse for file" on the opening screen, also not sure but on another web site it said to use windows enabler file V 1.1 it will run on the task bar at the bottom as an Icon of the seperate windows tiled, click on this so that it says"on" not postive it is necessary but this how I ran the KDZ file. There is a V10V kdz file but it would not work on mine.
Update: after flashing with kdz - V10D_00 (2.3.4) Reflashed/updated with kdz V10v (2.3.6) would not upgrade OTA or at the lg site.
I recently got my new Verizon Galaxy S4 and decided to play around with it. I got it rooted fine and got a few apps on there (like Titanium backup) and decided that, since I would eventually want to play around with ROMs, I would want to unlock the phone.
I looked around and found there were some options for me, the one I chose being the "all in one" option that roots, unlocks and installs a custom recovery mode for you. I went through this process and now get nothing but the Downloader Mode (could not do normal boot). Even if I pop out the battery and try to reboot it, I get this screen.
I later found that apparently the ME7 model currently will not accept attempts to unlock the phone and install a custom ROM or recovery menu. How do I fix this? I tried using Odin, but it doesn't recognize the phone as being connected. I am currently trying other methods like Kies, to see if there is any way to at least to an emergency recovery and get it back to normal.
EDIT: Ran into the same issue with Kies as I did with Odin, it does not see anything connected to the computer.
Do you have the correct drivers installed? Does adb recognize the device? You're in Odin mode when you try to use Odin to push something? I believe with ME7 you can Odin back to the official stuff.

You need to make sure you have the drivers for the phone and have a solid USB connection (I prefer the rear of a tower)

I ended up getting it to work. I had to go here:
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-013541.htm
and get files to get the computer to recognize the device. Even afterwards, Keis had no idea what was going on, and Odin saw it and was able to install a stock firmware I downloaded earlier, saving the phone.
For now I will be satisfied with just root access and will wait for ROM capabilities.
I hate to hijack a thread but I'm stuck here. My GS 4 (Vzw) was supposedly successfully rooted using TWRP, but now I have no way to enter any sort of recovery. The package I downloaded for the root does not have an Odin version to run. I've been getting the endless prompts to install the 4.3 update but there is no way to do this on my phone. I get the same "Could not do normal boot. Odin mode. Write protection enabled" message with the downloading screen. I try to boot into recovery via CWM or Goomanager but it always goes to the same screen. I can't make any backups or restore now either or I would just do a factory reset. Any ideas? I'm on VRUAME7.
Um.... there's no recovery available with ME7.... are you on the MDK bootloader?

I don't think so but how would I confirm? I'm just trying to get the 4.3 update installed but at every attempt it goes into Odin Mode and gets stuck.

You're said that you're on ME7 - what you need to do is to flash the "No wipe" ME7 ROM onto your phone. It's in the Development forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
You've got to update to MI1 before you can install the 4.3 update (MJ7).
ONLY flash files intended for whatever release you're running. You can't mix and match, can't go backwards, and can't skip updates.
Theres also an ml1 factory image in the dev section.

Hi! Sorry to kind of "butt in" on your thread, but I'm somewhat of a noob and have the same exact problem as you. If you don't mind, can you explain what you downloaded from Intel and what you did afterwards that fixed your problem? I'd really appreciate it, since my phone's been dead to me for more than a week now....

On that page I linked to, look for this:
Solution:
Download and run the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility so Windows* properly recognizes the SMBus controller.
Get the proper driver download according to your OS, then install it. This should allow Odin to see the phone for you to install a clean copy of the stock ROM onto the phone.
If you want more details I am sorry to say I cannot provide them. When things involve me fixing my own technology, it is a lot of rapid-fire troubleshooting and I just go with what sticks without really memorizing what I did (so if I run into this issue again, I have to re-research).
