[Q] ZTE Score Bricked HELP! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I rooted my phone saturday, and didn't do much on it til early this morning when I started deleting factory apps with Terminal Emulator...I had succesfully deleted Photobucket, Books, Ponyt, Talk, and a couple others, but then I accidentally switched to landscape while using TE and I thought that pressing execute would return me back to the regular TE screen, it didn't. And when I did return to the regular TE screen, all of the android system items began force closing repetitively.
So initially I believed that it was the TE that accidentally deleted the android system stuff when I was pressing execute, but now I believe it was just a common mishap that happens once a phone is rooted, given the user toggled with the phone.
Well, I unfortunately did not download Rom Manager, or anything that would have gotten ClockWork on to my phone. Therefore when I get into recovery mode, it is the Android recovery mode, and after the wiping of cache and wiping of data/factory reset and rebooting, the bootanimation continues to reboot, never getting to the home.
I have read the guide by Phistachio on fixing such problem, and I have tried such. But while using Odin, my final message has continuously been <ID: 0/005> SetupConnection..
And looking at the loading bar, no progress has seemed to be made. I was wondering what I may be doing wrong or what may I do to fix this issue. And also, does the ZTE score have a Download Mode?
PS: Thanks to anyone who've taken their time to read and/or aid me with this.

Remove the USB from the phone, remove battery.
Place the battery back in your phone and get back into DOWNLOAD MODE
Close Odin
Run Odin as Administrator
Select the 512 PIT FIle
Select the T959UVJFD.tar file for PDA
Plug in your phone (Make sure you see a COM Port come up)
Start Flashing

as you i had the same problem and finally got it to work by watching this video on you tube:
1.go to you tube
2.search for flash vibrant
3.first video should be "Flashing Firmware with Odin on Samsung Vibrant" by ZDoomentral, its a 3:00 min video
(sorry can't post direct link but i a restricted since i am a new user)
pay close attention as to how he gets his phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, thats where i was going wrong, and just follow the directions of the video.
my phone is up and running with stock kernel and re-rooted it
man i just want to say i just had this same issue happen to be... im a truck driver and having my phone is serious... mainly to play games or what not...but i just got some from Minnesota and tried the odin method and saw that video on you which help give me a visual and its back up ... im very happy... sad to say it was a careless mistake somewhere but i did a back like i always do and it didnt work for some reason...i had a g1 before this vibrant and ive flashed a lots of roms... but anyway i wanna thank everyone one this forum ... i got my phone back
Does this restart the WHOLE THING? because I have information I didn't backup :/
Yes. It deletes EVERYTHING. Just like it's brand out of the box.
I recommend using Titanium Backup and back all your apps. ALWAYS ALWAYS, do a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING.

If you have adb up and running & have the ability to get into recovery while you're bricked you can do aN adb pull before flashing
Adb remount
Adb pull /sdcard
After un-bricking you can adb push the folders back
When I did it..it flash back to stock but I have titanium back up so mt phone is back to how I had it ...and I still have every thing else back on, like my movies music etc..

I was trying to help my friend with his Vibrant and now it's stuck at the splash screen in a loop. I can't seem to get it to download mode or recovery or anything. I've pulled the battery, held down both vol keys while pushing power. Any time I connect the usb, it just starts up the boot loop without giving me a chance to do anything else. I can never get to the green charging battery. Any ideas?
I guess I could provide more info... We had rooted the phone multiple times, but Superuser would FC every time. So, we decided to flash eugene's froyo build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558). That's when I got the boot loop. Odin said it was finished, and it did not go into recovery. It just started boot looping. Maybe I didn't wait long enough before hitting the power? I'm not sure. Anyway. I'm stuck.
EDIT: Unstuck now. I guess I just need to not panic and read more. I held both VOL keys in while connecting to USB and it went into downloading mode. SO, I flash a stock 2.1 ROM and it's back to the way it was. Calling works fine. No data though. Apparently, that was one of the issues before. I'll try rooting again, but it seems like there's another issue. Also... No settings survive reboots. Like turning on USB debugging... Strange.

[Q] Bricked (seems unique)

I've tried to look for this problem and haven't found anything similar. If it's already been addressed please direct me to the previous thread, if this is in the wrong place please move it.
I rooted my Galaxy S II a while ago and it's been working great. I wanted to try Cyanogen mod 7 and so I followed the instructions on their website. Trying to use ROM manager gave me a weird error message telling me that there was an invalid signature or something, despite toggling everything and wiping the cache to turn it off. So I followed the "method via recovery" instructions. I did everything exactly as it is there, including the Google apps stuff, and it all seemed to work perfectly. Then I rebooted it hoping for it to boot into CM7, and instead, when it turns on it goes to the screen saying Samsung Galaxy S II with the yellow triangle underneath, and stays there. Every time it turn it on it goes to that screen and doesn't change. It's now been like that for half an hour. I can start it up into download mode, and I've tried flashing zImage to it again, but no change.
I have a NANDroid backup (it's backed up with CWM anyway), and I've copied the backup to my computer, but I have no idea how to apply it when the bloody thing won't turn on.
I'm using Linux with Heimdall (the cross-platform Odin clone).
Please help me. Unfortunately I have no internet in my flat so I won't be able to see any advice until tomorrow unless it;s given in the next ten minutes. God I really hope the thing's ok.
Hi
Do you have jigg? ( if you don't have it buy it from ebay or ask some friend of you )
With jigg you can enter download mode and then flash the stock rom.
Pull battery, wait 10s, then boot while holding power+vol-up+home. This should get you in recovery. Then restore nandroid.

I can't believe it was this simple, I knew power+vol-down+home got tme to downloading but I didn't know that got me into recovery. Everything's recovered now.

TW Launcher Crash loop, Factory Reset, Now Home Button Doesn't Work

Please help me,
Phone is having problems, started out this morning when I woke up. I restarted my phone and all of my apps in the folders got all dumped out of their sorted folders, not a big deal I thought I will restart my phone again to see if that helps. After I restarted my phone again, I got all sorts of crashes and force close message and that got me in a loop where after I force close it, it tries to run the program again and goes back to crashing in a loop. Mainly TW launcher and some other start up apps.
I researched online and followed instructions on how to wipe the cache in recovery mode and try to see if that helps. That didn't help at all. After exhausting all options, I have decided there is no other choice but to do a factory reset on my phone. I cannot have an nonoperational phone as I have to make and receive called throughout the day for my business. After I factory reset my phone, it reboots in like normal except for a few problems. The home button doesn't work, the lock screen PIN doesn't function, and the power button menu only has power off option.
Isn't the factory reset suppose to bring my phone back to when I bought it new? Those problems were not there when I first bought my phone. I did not flash in another rom, it's on stock rom but only rooted before.
I searched and found this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246439
My knowledge on Android cell phones isn't as advance as needed to follow those instructions. Is there another method to fix those problems, or can someone help me with plain English.
Thankyou
Bob
Seems like a corrupted firmware to me, if you want to go the easy way, we follow here, try flashing a new stock rom via Odin(you will have to read and follow instructions carefully though) , if you want to go the Samsung way you can use Emergency Recovery in Kies (easier but slower).

Last year this happened to me too.But a Factory reset solved everything for me.Try via Odin,and flash XWLP7 firmware(search on Sammobile,it's android 4.0.3).Then do a Factory reset again.
Thank you both of you for your advice and help.
This phone never cease to amaze me, today my phone decided to be in a good mood and every problem I mentioned in my original post has been solved by itself. I can skip re-flashing my phone for now. I have now switched to Go Launcher instead of using the TW Launcher, hopefully it's more reliable and I wouldn't have to do a factory reset again and potentially bringing those problems.
It happened to me as well exactly the same thing att galaxy s4

[Q] Phone keeps rebooting, unable to enter the recovery

Hello,
I've had my S3 for over a year now and it has been mostly running great. Whenever I've had issues I tried to solve them by myself, but this time I was unable to fix my phone, so I must ask for help.
Here's what happened. I left my phone on my desk today and one of my co-workers fiddled with it. He opened SuperSU and then a message popped up saying that SU binary needs to be updated. He then choose to update it via CWM. The phone then restarted and upon starting shows the startup screen then it tries to enter the recovery, but instead it just shows it for a brief moment and then it restarts again. It keeps doing that over and over again. If I remove the battery and then insert it back again, the phone will turn on by itself and continue to reboot after failing to open CWM.
I tried to enter the recovery, but had no success. The phone did enter the Download Mode though, but flasing a ROM via ODIN will remove all of the data stored on the phone and I really need it. The phone is currently running Android Revolution HD 40.
Is there a way to get my phone operational again without loosing the data stored on it?
Thanks in advance.

First of all what are co workers doing messing with your phone I would seriously not be happy!! screen lock comes to mind!
As the above post said flash another recovery in odin I recommend Philz recovery,backup your data in recovery then factory reset if that does not work flash another rom via recovery or return to stock with odin. You can also boot into recovery with adb but I would try above first.
Then charge your co-worker for all the time wasted trying to fix phone
Thank you so much for the idea, I just tried this and it worked! After flashing new recovery via ODIN, I'm now able to access my phone. There was no need to flash the ROM again, as it was fine, the only problem was with the recovery.
And I still have my data!
Thank you very much again, cheers :laugh:

He's actually a good guy and I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. He told me that he was playing a game and he tried to add more coins using GameCIH. Then the prompt to allow root access to the app came up along with a notification to update the SU binary. He said he pressed that button by mistake. I wasn't mad at the guy, I was only upset that I may lose my data.

[Q] Unrooted Phone Will Not Boot

Hello, everyone! I'm in search of a hero who can help me resolve this (frustrating) issue! I'm sure you have heard it before: my phone will not boot fully; it is instead stuck permanently on the white VERIZON logo screen.
Model: SCH-I545
Carrier: VERIZON
Color: BLACK
Size: 16GB
The phone has not been rooted.
It does not have USB debugging enabled.
I have not installed any custom recovery software or mods.
There is no external SD card installed.
First, some back story. My phone asked me to perform a software update roughly a week ago. About a minute into the update, it told me the update failed. I assume this occurred because I was on the train and passed through a tunnel. Afterwards, my phone began acting up, rebooting itself randomly, and applications(such as web browser, text messaging) would randomly crash on me. I assumed another update would come to resolve the issue, but unfortunately yesterday(Sunday), my phone again rebooted itself, only this time it would not make it past the white VERIZON screen.
My goal is simply to recover my files from the device before either returning it or performing a factory reset. I have scoured the internet for hours trying to find a way to achieve this. I can boot my device into the stock recovery console and into ODIN download mode. I have tried clearing my phone's cache in recovery mode, which did not help. I have tried booting into safe mode by repeatedly tapping the menu screen, but it did not help.
I have ADB installed and a USB driver from Samsung and a USB driver from Google. I can get my phone to appear using ADB in sideload mode only while in the recovery console. Unfortunately, this is of limited use because apparently it can only be used to install software packages, and the phone seemingly rejects all attempts to install packages such as CWM and TWRK, which I had hoped would allow me to use the ADB pull command.
I have tried installing these mods using ODIN as well. Again, failure due to security apparently. :crying:
If anyone has any idea how I can retrieve the files from my phone, you'll be my hero forever!

Sounds like that upgrade definitely went wrong. Since you were upgrading to Kit Kat I'd say flash the No Wipe file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Your phone won't allow for CWM or TWRP recoveries since it's a build past MDK. Also if you want prior to using that Odin file go to play store and get the app " Samsung phone info" and run that app and take a screen shot of the bootloader section. Actually do that before hand anyways. I'll link you to it

Yea I think people have to much faith in Verizon. There not setup to handle anything but a perfect download and install when it comes to their OTAs. They're best done on WiFi at home

Hi BeefJerkyAddict,
I would reccomend to do a total full wipe with Odin, this usually solves all of your problems. All of your stuff should be clear for restoring once you do that. But after you do the full wipe, immediately go to settings and then software update because your phone will be on android 4.3 and not 4.4.2.
Here is the link with the instructions as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
You're welcome.
Yea I guess I'm just biased to updating straight to kit kat lol if the op has the chance to stay on mk2 he might as well. And I suggested no wipe first just so not to lose data. Up to the op though

Hi guys,
Just posting to say THANK YOU for the help. After a long download, I got ahold of the VRUFNC5 No-Wipe file and successfully installed it using ODIN3 v3.09 without a hitch! All of my pictures, videos, text messages, are all right where they were, and my operating system is upgraded.
Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction. I had nearly given up!
