Hello,
I have a BIIIIG problem. It is my fault, but I would like to know if there is a way to fix it. My phone does not boot. When I turn it on, blinks for a sec the boot logo and then it shows a black screen with this msg:
Warning
Invalid image, enter FASTBOOT mode
I have a rooted Lenovo S60a with the original ROM, but I made this mistake: I installed a patch to make my Play Store valid/verifed again, because I could not install apps/updates.
The Recovery Mode with the power button & vol up does not work / show up. It is dead. I think that the adb option was not checked in the "secret" menu.
I would like to know if there is a way to save my data, to find my data, to copy my data in my pc. I don't care about the phone, it was about time to buy a new one, but I dont want to lose my contacts etc.
Any way of help is welcomed, from installing special linux on my desktop, to pulling out the rom chip and make it usb somehow!
Thanks in advance!!!

YUP. I "soft bricked" my t-mobile galaxy s (vibrant here in the us) or so I hope. The phone was rooted via z4 on the latest android t959uvji6 from t-mobile.
How did i do it? Brick my phone that is...
The 3d gallery was pissing me off by picking up everything on the phone. I tried clearing the default setting via the manage app but nothing changed so I decided to delete it. First backing up the apk and odex file from the system folder with titanium backup then deleted them from the system folder via root explorer. Rebooted the phone, pulled out the battery, waited for 30 seconds or so, popped in the battery and booted up the phone w/o any issues.
I tried installing the backup 3d gallery apk file and got the "app not installed" error on numerous attempts. Then tried simply copying it over again with ti backup and nothing happens. Gave up and said the heck with and went the factory restore route, got all the relevant apps installed and tried reinstalling the 3d gallery apk but resulting in the same "app not installed" error prompt. So I again copied over the apk and odex file into the system folder. Rebooted and nothing... phone does not boot into the home screen.
At this point here is what the phone is able to do.
It will boot up and display the default galaxy s animation, goes through it's array of colors then comes to a stop at all white letters then the screen goes blank and nothing happens - zip. nadda. i left it on for 12hrs like that - blank screen w/all the hard keys lit up.
What i did notice was win7x64 recognizes the phone after it gets into the blank screen of death as mass storage units.
So far i've tried booting into the recovery screen via the three button method and none of them works.
Did the karma-volume up-home-power twist - nothing
Did the karma-volume down-home-power roll - nothing
Did the karma-volume up and down-power jiggy - nothing
I tried the key combos for about 2hrs without any success then jumped into adb. After reading for a bit I realized that the phone was still rooted and the debug mode was enabled the last time i shutdown the phone (good'ol ti-backup)
For a while there adb did not recognize the phone at all but with an odd power cycling while spamming "adb reboot recovery" it was able to finally nab hold of the phone and jump into the recovery console. At first I thought it was pure luck so unplugged everything and tried it again - works every time if i did the odd out of sequence power cycle while spamming the adb console with "adb reboot recovery".
In the reboot recovery - deleted the user data and did the restore.
Here's where I think I really screwed up - now the phone is no longer in debug mode.
Long story short - is there a way to get into the recovery screen w/o debug mode on?
**quickly pulls on flack jacket**
but seriously any suggestions would be great
Wrong section bro. You probably won't get an answer here.
To answer your question. Yes, Remove Battery, Plug your phone to USB, Press and hold the volume down and the power button Put the batter back on. This should get you into download mode. Use ODIN to restore.
the usb jig trick did the work - now i have two phones!!!! (bought the nexus s yesterday) lol
Time to ODIN.
To access Download mode.
Unplug. press volume up and down togheter, and connect USB. VOILA!
If ODIN does not recognize it, plug and unplug again

no!
Why the hell are people giving others ideas on how to get into download when their doing it wrong.
its JUST THE VOLUME BUTTONS, NOT THE POWER BUTTON ALONG WITH IT.
volume + power = Recovery, which in this case you probably cant get into
Volume - Power = Download mode, which everyone can get into unless if they somehow hard bricked, if its possible.
Good day to you all kind folks!
Basicly, i have the same problem as mr. adijat from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816263 .
I was digging about link2sd with the phone from the subject and messed it up.
I managed to get it to boot to android again, but with limited capability:
1. Once connected to PC, it only charges, no mass storage, no usb debuging, no nothing.
2. Half of the applications are missing, like GooglePlay, Google Account Sinchronization etc.
I did try to install those manually, but to no avail, if i try to install GooglePlay.apk it just says: Application not installed.
I was google-ing for a way to adb push those applications, but i have no idea what parts of android system are responsible for USB controlers, and every try to find out doesnt end so good.
As for the original stock rom/firmware from huawei, they DO have the phone listed on their download page, but nothing to download from there, and from another sites i cant seem to find the specific rom for this model, although i've tried to install some similar ROMs like official U8650 and S8600, none worked ( when i enter in update screen, step 1/2 finishes and as soon as step 2/2 starts it says "Update Failed" and thats it.
I can't seem to get it to fastboot mode anymore also (Shut down > Plug to PC > Volume down+Power 2 sec > 10 sec Power ), because when i plug it in to PC while its shut down it doesnt go to battery charging screen, it just stays on white loading screen.
I'm baffeled with this, i'm not much of an expert on this stuff but i know the basics, and cant figure it out.
If anyone has any solutions, it would be great!
Greetings from Croatia and I'm sorry in advance if i posted in wrong part of the forums, this is the best i could find.

Hopefully someone can help me, my child has a Pendo Pad 7 Model no.PNDPP44QC7 with Kitkat 4.4 and it ended up with lots of malware/viruses and barely usable. This tablet only has a power button and no other buttons so I did not know how to boot into recovery mode to do factory reset and after trying reset through settings which made no difference so I gave the device ROOT access so I could try and delete the malware etc but of course i did not do any sort of backup and did not add CWM or TWRP recovery. I ended up deleting something wrong and now the device just hangs on the Pendo logo screen. I have since worked out how to boot into Recovery Mode and also Fastboot mode now but a bit too late I tried to do a wipe data/factory reset and this made no difference still hangs on Pendo logo.
I can't seem to find a CWM or TWRP image file to suit the tablet and possibly try putting tablet into fastboot mode and using ADB on computer and flash the recovery to tablet. ???
in recovery mode options i get are
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
but i can not seem to find any correct files to work with this tablet any help to get this tablet working again would be much appreciated Thanks
Good day! how did you manage to boot into Recovery Mode or Fast Mode?
After pressing the power button and seeing the display turn on. Keep spamming the power button and a menu will pop-up on screen with boot options. Short press of the power button cycles through the options, long press selects the option.
Mine was also stuck on a boot loop, even though I had not played around with any settings or tried to root etc. I was able to revive it by going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset.
Hey OP I've got hold of the same tablet I'm working on getting a rom dump atm. Bare with me I'll try and send a link for the img. If u can get into recovery mode where u can update zip. That's good if not try and via pc. Once u have a link to the tablets boatloader, rest is history.
Hi,
Wondering if I can follow up on this.
Mine is stuck on the PENDO boot screen, and I have tried the reset button, as well as the se commands PENDO suggested....
1. Press On/Off Switch (Power), wait for the Pendo Logo start up screen, and then press On/Off Switch (Power) twice right away.
2. Factory mode menu comes out after 10 seconds, two fingers touches panel together to move to select the one like the following picture shows (no need to understand the Chinese words, just follow through as what the picture shows)
3. Press On/Off Switch (Power) and the following picture below will show, press On/Off Switch (Power) again to proceed on Recovery Mode, and wait for system to restart.
Unfortunately, nothing still happens.
ADB will not reveal what device it is, nor will Win 10 recognise the device for it to show in Device Manager or connected devices.
Windows responds with a ding ding, but nothing shows up.
I am stuck, and any info gladly accepted.
Thanks
bump please

not working in my pendotab window 8
Hi,
I could get no further with mine, the same as you.
I contacted Pendo Support, and explained it would work but not boot, I even asked for the image file so I could reload it in recovery mode, however, they did not have access to it, the Chinese manufacturer had not made it available to them.
As I described it was not damaged, but simply not working, they agreed to send me a replacement, even though it was out of warranty, as really, as I said to them, it was not fit for purpose.
I had to send the old one back, but they sent me a satchel in which to do so, at no cost to me.
They sent me the new one very promptly.
Hope is not lost,

Hi everyone.
My case is similar to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/i9300-wont-boot-recovery-mode-isnt-t2993235
- Only that me cellphone has never been rooted or flashed.
It happened two days ago, I sent a message through WhastApp, close it, open up the radio, I plugged the headphones, and in that precise moment there was an "updating" notification message, then everything went black and it reboot, getting stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S3 - GT-I9300" screen.
I have tried:
- Stuck Power button solution -> Not worked.
- Disassembler the cellphone to clean the Power button -> Not worked.
- Trying to get to Recovery mode (Volume Up + Home + Power buttons pressed)-> Not possible to get into that stage.
- The cellphone is not recognize by Window 7 SP1 with latest USB drivers for Samsung phones as USB Flash storage device.
I would like to have my photos/images back because they hold a great emotional value. In simply words, I need to save the my user data from the phone.
So, I have some questions:
- Can I get/save my data back by flashing the cellphone?
- I read I can flash a recovery partition through or with Odin, would this erase the data I want to backup?
Well, anyone who want to give me advice and some guide here, let me thank you before hand and I'm ready to listen I try whatever comes your mind, just point me out what do I have to read or do.
:highfive:
Hello and thank you for anyone bothering to read this.
I got a CAT S50 and was experiencing a bit of instability lately.
I've run LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 without a hitch for a while, then it decided to crash several applications, from google play to any other app open.
That's when I decided to do a factory reset and see if it would help. Performed the rest without a hitch, but the errors kept coming back. At one point, the screen went black. I knew the phone was on because the backlit was working. I hard-reseted it (hold the power button for 30 seconds or more) and rebooted. The phone froze on the CAT splash logo screen and that's when I hard-reset it again. But when I tried to turn it on, the phone simply refused to work. No vibrate, sounds or anything. It's dead.
When I plug it on the computer's USB, the PC makes a sound as if it detected the device, but when I go to the device manager, I get this QHSUSB_BULK with the yellow exclamation mark
I want to know if it is possible to unbrick this phone and if so, if there is a tutorial or if someone can direct me to the correct procedure. I looked everywhere for the ftf file for this phone to attempt this with flashtool, but I simply can't find it.
ANY help of any form is greatly appreciated.
Sadly I had the same thing happen to me, just a black screen. It decided to delete recovery mode or I just cant get to it.
Power Off the Phone,
While pressing Press Vol Down + Cam Button insert a Powersource -- hold down Vol Down + Cam
Recoverymenu should start
Then flash the original rom via ADB Sideload or SD Card.
btw. i have flashed the LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 but i want test older ROMs!
can anyone link or upload an older ROM ?
Guy i have the same issue, can you please help me
I got the same problem I search lots place but still nothing then normal update rom anyone can help?
