[Q]7840 freezes at tethered cwm and now bricked [Solved] - Dell Venue

I tried to root my 7840 with 5.1 using @social-design-concepts tethered CMW and after flashed supersu, I accidentally selected "wide cache partition" and the device freezed there for a long time. I had to hold the power button to reboot. But the device cannot root into the system, it stuck at "intel inside" logo.
I'm wondering what happened and what should I do now to unbrick my device now.
I appreciate if someone could help me with a solution.
Update (8/13):
Followed @xBIGREDDx 's link, I found the dell official developer flash files. And flashed flash_DDO_BB.xml to unbrick and format the correct partition (correct me if I said wrong). Then use @social-design-concepts 's tethered CWM to flash 5.1 update.zip file (put the zip in external SdCard) uploaded by @xBIGREDDx. And the device gets back to fully functional with fresh installed 5.1 LP

Oh...latest @social-design-concepts root method works with Android 5.1 without downgrading Bootloader?

I used the latest version with T4. What should I do to fix it now?

For now, try these steps. You'll have to go back a bit in the thread there to find links to the system.img
I'm working on a better un-brick solution but for now that's the best we've got.

BIGREDD,
Thanks for your tips. I unbricked my device but it was actually much easier than I though. I flashed DDO_BB.xml, and then in tethered CWM flashed 5.1 update.zip. That turns the dead device back to functional. Of course I flashed your files to root.
My notice is 5.1 consumes much more ram than 5.0. At 5.0 after boot, I got ~1G free memory. But now I only have ~500MB. Is it normal?

hi,I'm having the same device and recently I installed gravitybox or some app of that kind and it offered an option to install xposed framework.I was skeptical if my device was compatible but did it anyway.Next it went into a bootloop at the intel logo and has been there ever since.my present condition is,I can get into fastboot menu but cannot install the xposed uninstaller.zip since the sd card is not recognised anymore.I tried to adb sideload it but only errors follow.I understand this device has a temporary recovery and right now there is no custom recovery installed I guess(?).I am new to android so kindly help me get the device to function again.thanks.

[HOW] [Mi 3] [CM 13] [ERROR: 7] How to update CyanogenMod weekly updates

My device Mi3 is running on CyanogenMod 13 and latest TWRP recovery. Unable to install weekly updates of CyanogenMod. Recently, got an update cm-13.0-20160516-NIGHTLY when i tried to install that there is an dialog box of "Apply Update" You are about to update bla bla bla... Note: This feature requires a compatible Recovery or updates will need to be installed manually. I didn't get what it means and i thought TWRP is a valid recovery so proceeded from that. After few minutes it rebooted the device top recovery and nothing happened from that. So i rebooted the system again searched over Internet about the issue haven't found any perfect solution (within what i found) but i tried by copying the update file to /sdcard (i mean root directory) and tried to install the update manually by using TWRP recovery but it is showing an error "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file '/sdcard/cm-13.0-20160516-NIGHTLY-cancro.zip' Updating partition details......done"
Can you help me out how to install the update and also tell me what I've done wrong so that i will not do that again.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, the answer to your question is in the first post of CM13 FAQ.

Hi @diongdyh
sorry for late reply, please help me with a step that is mentioned in the link you've given.
"Run flash_all.bat (on windows) or flash_all.sh (on OS x and Linux - it's suggested to open it from a terminal in these systems)"
Does it mean to run in cmd or what. Please help me out. If you can please elaborate that step.

Just connect your device and double click on "flash_all.bat"(I'm assuming you to be on Windows) and it'll do the rest
Well I encountered the same problem a while ago.. I just flashed miui 8 through twrp.. and booted and again flashed latest cm13 and it worked.. No problems so far..

ok i'll do the same. I doubt whether the device needs to be in fastboot mode or normal system. If you can clear this i'll proceed because previously i tried the same but in fastboot and the device is recognized i checked by 'fastboot devices'.

i've done the same @diongdyh, after selecting run something went in a flash on the desktop screen and nothing happened on my device and its still in fastboot mode. i think booting to miui 8 and then installing cm13 will be a better option as suggested by @sidhg for me as i'm not getting exactly what to do
even I am having the same problem, I nothing happpens on clicking on flash all file.........

Yes it'd be best that you flash miui 8 with fastboot/bootloader

Mate 9 bootloop and other troubles

Hi to all!
Maybe you can help me.
I am not a rooting noob but it was my first Huawei root (before only samsung).
I have tried to root my mate 9 as shown on your threads.
Bootloader was unlocked successfully, twrp was flashed with adb and works. Then I tried to flash the root file and something didn't work. My mate 9 restarts and gets in a bootloop. I tried factory reset but nothing helps. Twrp works but nothing else.
After a while I found in the forum an thread with the mate 9 stockrom ( for MHA-L09). I installed it with creating an dload folder on my SD card and now I can use my phone again. But now I get the model number M300 and missing things like the update button in menu, the stock file Explorer,..
When I connect the phone with the hisuite it means no update available because I am on the newest developer version. Is there any possibility to get back to an really stock Rom?
I also see only 16 GB Rom and 2 GB RAM instead of 64/4
Thanks in advance for your answer and your help (and also for the great work from all of you guys)
Cheers bob

You cannot go back to 6.0 because the bootloader is now for 7.* I would advise you to flash stock 7.0 again and follow the upgrade path to 7.1.1 found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/how-to-update-to-official-7-1-1-moto-z-t3640298
Alternatively, you could flash a custom ROM. If you use Moto Mods then you can flash Resurrection Remix with Mods support.

It looks like you did an incomplete fastboot flash.
It is a long and tedious process but here is a windows batch file that automates it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gcDbDvV4Mkc1JJR0J3ZWh6a3M/view?usp=drivesdk
Another solution is to flash this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/rom-erfanrom-flashable-zip-t3646962 in TWRP DO FULL WIPE FIRST

I see that you are posting on the other thread. What is the truth?
You need to flash the modem file twice. For some reason it doesn't always flash properly the first time and you need to flash it again. I do recall somewhere somebody mentioning not to use batch scripts to flash as you can miss some flashing issues occasionally. As stated previously, once you are on the 7.x bootloader, there is no way to roll back unfortunately. Try reloading the full firmware through fastboot and make sure you flash the modem twice. I recently had a similar issue on a Moto X Style and I had to flash the modem twice to fix WiFi issues.
Hope this helps.

factory reset and flashed another rom via fasboot, but reboot stuck at the start screen, just like the left one on the photo I submitted.
Do another unbricking, and everything back to the state I reported.
It's confirmed to be a hardware problem, when the monitor is replaced, everything back to normal.
I think there is problem with build.prop .. try google ... To restore build.prop
It seems that the Kernel is also affected so it must be hardware problem

I tried several qfill file from severals sources and always the same result. I even try to go on and flash TWRP and RR rom but screen stay that way.

It was solved without replacing the screen!
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!) and not from one installed
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*​​​​​​​
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!

That's what I tried but as stated in the last link, I had no connection to adb while in twrp after cleaning up.
Anyway that's settled for me, it's mor for other that have encountered this as well. Replacing screen is not the only way.

bro...my device is running but i got no internet wifi,sim data isnot working.....how to flash this if u send me this....
can u give the boot.img file or full rom ?
I'm having the very same problem right now. I tried to root the device and everything worked well so far, but neither Wifi nor Bluetooth is getting activated. Changing to the other boot slot ended up in a boot loop back to fastboot.
@sadatkabir50 Where did you get the stock rom from or what was your approach to root the device?

Same problem. Everything working fine just Wi-Fi,camera,Bluetooth not working.
Which method did you use to root your device?
I'm following @halloweenm925's advice and downloaded the firmware for the EU version of the CPH2465 with a second device. How would you move forward if you had this file?
this boot img can boot ur phone but wifi and everything not working..
So I got the stock rom but neither the Wifi nor the Bluetooth is coming up. I'm kind of desperate right now. Can anybody support?

inbox me bro.. just now i fixed the problem
Solved the problem. Here is how I did it.
1) On a second Android phone, download the Oxygen Updater App
2) Open the app, set it to advanced settings, chose the device with the semi-bricked status, download the full zip
3) the zip file will be downloaded to sdcard's user root => transfer the zip file to your semi-bricked device
4) on your semi-bricked device, go to settings>updates, click on the top right three-point-menue and chose "local installation"
5) select the zip file and do the update
After the unpacking and verification is finished, reboot the phone and things should be back to normal.
If you want, you can now give the rooting a second try. There are a lot of tutorials, I used this one since I had the stock full rom:
Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G using Magisk [No TWRP Required]
Do you own a OnePlus Nord CE 5G android smartphone? If yes, today, we will share with you how you can Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G with the help of the Magisk
magiskapp.com
The full stock rom which is downloaded as described above needs to be extracted with the help of a script: as described here:
[LINUX][GUIDE] ROM Payload Image Dump
Now we have dumpers for Win/Mac/Linux! Great!
forum.xda-developers.com
So the steps to root the device would be
1) download the full rom as described above
2) extract the boot.img with the help of aforementioned python script
3) follow the steps as described in the tutorial linked above
I think what caused the initial issue on my side was that I simply was not on the same OS version on the device as the boot.img which I extracted from the full zip which is totally my own fault because almost every tutorial mentions it explicitly that you have to have the latest update on your to-be-rooted device AND make sure that you have the same ROM available to root your device.
Questions welcome!
