My Dell venue 8 3830 stopped working yesterday. It started with the "com.google.process.gapps" process has stopped working", which is a common error that can be fixed. However, it kept coming up and it wouldn't go away. After a while, other apps started crashing as well. I restarted into safe mode, however it just booted into the normal OS. I wasn't able to wipe the tablet either. When i pushed the "erase everything" button, it wouldn't do anything. I was able to boot into recovery, and i hit the restore button. It then proceeded to try to reboot, then gave me an error screen with the text "No Command". I then plugged it into my PC, where it booted to a screen with a picture of a USB symbol with a white bar underneath. I unplugged it and now it wont boot. All it will do is flash that USB screen. I'm thinking the OS corrupted or the Hard Drive has started to fail. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Okay, this unbrick method will install 4.3 and change your splash screen to the "Intel Inside" one instead of the original Dell logo. I also believe you will have to root to update to 4.4.2 which will void your warranty. It's a last resort type solution.

I checked on the warranty I had and found out that it already expired, so voiding the warranty isn't a problem. How do I start the unbrick process?

before you do that, try to go into fastboot mode, by holding power and volume down
*make sure you device is unpluged
If that works you can select recovery, then hold volume up and power for a few seconds, and then you should be able to select wipe data

If I'm not wrong
The recovery of the android lying is a stock recovery and only will let you install the developer edition, but is 4.3 and in my tablet sometimes the instalation fails.
If you want to install zip roms you need a custom recovery
If you don't have custom recovery an option is installing stock rom images from fastboot.
Hope this help you, even with bad English

I dont have developer edition nor custom recovery... what are stock rom images? how can I get them and what is the process?
You need to flash the files for your device from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51090040. First unzip the FLASHPKG, then flash the boot, recovery, system and fastboot. Then flash the two .bin files in the ifwi folder.

You need to flash the files in the bootloader via fastboot commands.

You could try re-naming the FW file to update.zip and copy it to your sd card. I don't know if it will work but it appears that it may.

Sorry, it's not the VSAM, it's the VSEI. It will take your device back to stock, if it works. Download the file and then rename it to update.zip. Copy it to your sd card and boot into recovery. It's worth a try. Please let me know if it works.

I assume it's fully charged or connected to an A/C adapter. Then hold power and volume until it boots. As soon as you see the bird logo, let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume button until it boots into recovery. Then, select "update from SD card." It will only recognize update.zip file because we don't have clockworkmod recovery for 7e.

I don't have any other ideas. We really need a custom ROM with CWM but I don't know any Devs working on it. If your tablet is less than 30 days old, you can return it for a full refund or replacement.
I understand thanks fro your help anyway will let you know about the situation.
Hello, and yes i am new here found this site to have the most info but still i dont have all the correct answers
I have a sony tablet s (SGPT111US/S)
The tablet will only boot to the sony logo as stated
I recieved it this way and am not sure what may have been done to it, or what version of o.s. it may have had.
After much reading i found several thing to look into and try.
the first thing i tried was the reset button, didnt work
Next i tried reset to factory settings, after pushing power button/vol up and going to system recovery
Either it would not complete and hang, or it would complete, reboot and still hang at sony logo.
Next i found this post with the zip files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26882207
So i downloaded the first one in the list for U.S. saved it to a SD card booted the tablet to system recovery
Chose update from SD card , arrowed down to the file and started the proccess.
I tried several of these files starting with the first one in the list and everytime i recieve the same error
---Install /sdcard...
Finding update package...
Desklunvr update package...
opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED
INSTALLATION ABORTED.
I just want to make this thing work, does anyone have any suggestions for me at this point i am not particular what os or version of os as long as it works im thinkin.
Thank you in advance
the recovery log means your rom file is damaged,try download it again
ps,if your tablet stop at sony logo or boot animation,try this:
1,long press power button(about 10 s),force shut down,
2,short push power button again
at this time system will try to boot up use 2nd system partition(/mmcblk0p3)
with some lucky,you may go into system
my tablet always power up this way...

Hello,
I am not sure what happened, but here is the story.
First, I tried to root the phone using the 1-click method, only to later realize that it does not work as the phone I had was running the latest OTA update. I wanted to reset my phone to factory default and I proceeded to do that.
Now, when my phone starts I see the small recovery menu and a lot of red letters stating that the system could not mount, find or open recovery directories, files or logs. (On the screen is this info Enter ok key,Select vol up/down Rebot system now, apply update from scard,wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition But nothing will move courser,then blow that in red is E:failed to open/res/recovery.fstab(no such file or directory) E:unknown volume for path[/cache/recovery/command with a lot more then in yellow letters #manual mode# and the same messages)
When I enter the download mode, and tried to use Odin or ADB, neither one can detect my device. I tried installing different samsung drivers on my system to no solution to being able to detect the device. Is this due to Windows not being able to initiate the drivers correctly, because when I connect the phone in Download mode, Windows has a pop-up show up that says "Drivers not recognized, your device might not work properly".
Does this mean the phone is bricked or is there something I can do to restore the phone?

did you try a different usb port? also I'd try heimdall and see if that works and sees your phone. which stock odin package are yup trying to flash?
I did manage to recover to the stock EH03 rom, by doing the first couple of steps in section 4 of the Guide for installing Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070).
At this point, I cannot get root on my phone. I tried using 1 click root methods and those fail to install SU. I tried using the manual method of pushing rage.bin file using ADB, but that also failed.
I tried flashing some of the ROMs from section 4 of the above guide, but they cant seem to install on my phone. When I try to install through recovery, I get the picture of the android on the side and a failed install and either get stuck with the Samsung logo or a recovery boot loop.
Am I missing a step or something in order to root the phone or load a custom ROM? Is it possible that my phone cannot be rooted due to a lock somewhere?
Thanks.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

Thank you bro for prompt reply. But Now I'm not getting TWRP from morning. When I connect to USB Notification Light Blinks and goes off. I'm unable to charge as well. How to boot up to TWRP. Moreover where to get stock Rooted ROM Zip?
Also I have downloaded this yesterday ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
If this is the Custom Rom for my phone. (ATT LG E970)? Or I have to download some different ROM ?
Well, first thing how to get it to TWRP. I'm unable to get it from Morning :S
Get into bootloader by pressing volume up + power key simultaneously. Then press volume down key twice only. Next press power key once.
Rom you downloaded can be verified by search for Stock Rooted rom versio 20j. Hope u get thru ur troubles. Dont forget to press thanks button.

Thank you bro for prompt reply. But Now I'm not getting TWRP from morning. When I connect to USB Notification Light Blinks and goes off. I'm unable to charge as well. How to boot up to TWRP. Moreover where to get stock Rooted ROM Zip?
Also I have downloaded this yesterday ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
If this is the Custom Rom for my phone. (ATT LG E970)? Or I have to download some different ROM ?

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Hi,
Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.
Regards

Get into bootloader by pressing volume up + power key simultaneously. Then press volume down key twice only. Next press power key once.
Rom you downloaded can be verified by search for Stock Rooted rom versio 20j. Hope u get thru ur troubles. Dont forget to press thanks button.
Cheers. Milind

Hi, I tried these ROMS,
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
and downloaded today ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
Both are not working. ON TWRP it is saying ..
MD5 File NOT FOUND
ZIP File Signature VERIFICATION FAILED
Error in Flashing Zip
Please help?
Edit : I also tried Unticking ZIP File Verification. But still it says .. "Error in Flashing Zip"
I did this from the forum @carrett started:
Obtain the following files: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (available on IRC or googling), and the firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953). Unzip AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip and follow the instructions in "READ ME FIRST.txt" (mad props to tSilenzio for automating this process).

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

I tried reboot to boot loader but unfortunately it takes me back to Fast Boot mode (in green Andriod screen) :/
I also tried all options of reboot but no use. Either the phone comes in Fast Boot mode or Power off.

Hello guys! My name is derek. Im new to installing custom ROMs and i need help. So the thing is i wanted to install android 6.0 on my xperia s and i downloaded the 6.0 rom package. After that i went into recovery mode using CWM and i wiped all data. Next i pressed "install from sdcard" and i searched for the 6.0 package and i installed it. After that i pressed "reboot system now" and it showed the sony logo and then it showed four colorful dots that i think it might be a sign that it is loading. Is this normal? PS:NEED IMMEDIATE HELP!!!

4 colourful dots? Can you maybe attach a photo or... In theory if it loads for a relatively long time, it is probably bricked (normally soft bricked if the phone can still power on but is stuck in a bootloop)
Did you also install gapps? If you didnt install gapps the rom should still work but gapps gives you all the important apps you need for your phone

how do you fix it?
It took so long. I installed it at 9:00 PM and the battery died between 12:00 AM maybe. How do I recover from soft brick?

Gapps is technically required if you want all the functioning google apps such as play store, youtube, chrome etc.
The 4 coloured dots should be the sign that marshmallow 6.0 has been installed and is loading, but if the loading takes too long (leave it overnight if it is still loading to see if it will boot up the following day), then it may not have been installed correctly. If that is the case you should boot into recovery and factory reset the device (this time taking consideration of installing gapps), and attempt to boot the device again. If all else fails the rom may just simply not work for the device and thus you may have to restore your stock rom.

To enter recovery mode in Sony Xperia S:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Press the power button again and the moment you see a pink light coming from the sensor next to the front facing camera, press the volume up button repeatedly (keep pressing until the phone boots into recovery)

It may be in the internal storage of the device then. For future reference, when flashing roms, its recommended to place the rom.zip file in the root (the first thing you see when you enter the sd card) of the sd card. You should also "clear cache" after flashing any rom.

If you can't find it you can always just place the rom.zip that you downloaded from your pc into the root of your storage.

Hi again so i installed 6.0 successfully but i forgot to install gapps and i don't know how to enter recovery mode again. I tried power button and volume up key but it doesn't work. The way i installed it was to follow a guy in youtube saying that i should install the ADB Interface to repartition my phone and after that he said i should flash the rom now. After 2 mins of booting up it works. But there is no play store and other google apps. Please help me how to boot into recovery mode again. BTW this is my kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-gfa085ac-00327-g5b0d87d-dirty
