Hey guys, I don't know if this is the appropriate section, sorry.I rooted my phone with king roots 3-4 days ago.And this evening my phone showed an official update.I thought it would be OK, since it showed me (because when I used grand 2, it didn't show official updates when it's rooted), this is why I thought like that.
Anyway, long story short the phone is not booting, it's stuck at the boot screen.When I tried to open recovery it says "It has been in recovery mode before, long press the power button for normal boot", and it says the same thing for download mode.
Now, is my phone officially toasted? Because last time I tried I couldn't get it to work with spflash tool either I've been just using it for 2 weeks.
Update : I successfully flashed it with spflash tool (stock firmware) but now it vibrates when I tried to open it, but I see nothing but a black screen.
HELP ?
OK got it, successfully flashed it with the firmware upgrade choice (not download or format all/download) and it worked.IMEI looks like a problem but I guess it's flashable too.Long story short, you can fix it with firmware upgrade choice in SP Flash tool if it ever happens this to you like me.

Hi,
The Whole Story (skipable but it contains the details):
I wanted to install a custom ROM on my xPeria SP. I knew I had to root my phone so I went to the tutorial ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375 ) for this. Everything went well and I managed to root. (I
Now, since I wanted kitkat 4.4 ROM, I searched for another tutorial. (http://techbeasts.com/2013/11/30/install-android-4-4-kitkat-cm-11-custom-rom-on-sony-xperia-sp/. )
It said I needed an unlocked bootloader. So I managed to do this as well.... I think. I hadn't checked this.
It also said that i needed the clockwordrecoverymod. Therefore I followed this tutorial. (http://techbeasts.com/2013/11/18/ho...ony-xperia-sp-on-12-0-a-2-254-firmware-guide/).
Then I went on with the Kitkat tutorial. I did every step until VII. I had to deconnect my phone to insert an SD-card. I tried to turn on my phone and it had a bootloop: The Sony logo appeared, then the colourful waves, then it got stuck and it started over again.
I tried whether I could boot in CWM but that didn't work either. I still could connect in fastboot mode so I tried te reinstall the CWM via another website. (http://editandroid.blogspot.be/2013/06/sony-xperia-sp-install-custom.html). I flashed the kernel like they said, then deconnected my phone.
The Problem:
Now I can't put it in fastboot or flash mode. I can start it up but everytime I do, it get's stuck at some point (like when turning on the wifi or browsing through the playstore) and reboots itself or I have to wait a long time before it works again. Also all the factory settings are restored and all data is wiped out.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Extra information:
-Windows Vista 32Bit
-C5303 Model
-Yes, I've used a couple times the Hard restore.
-Flashtool by Androxyde used
EDIT: I can go into flash/fastboot mode
I have spent about 10 hours sitting here, with over 200 tab open trying to find a solution to my problems but I could not find one. My last option is to post here and hope someone can help me out.
I recently bought the tf701t which came with Android 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. A few days ago, I got pushed an update to android 4.3 but it was .1.7 not .1.18 (the newest apparently). With that update, my problems came. When I light up the device by pressing the power button, the lock screen was unresponsive. I pressed my pin numbers in but there was no response and it was as if the touchscreen was broken. However, the home and back button were all working fine. I had to randomly keep pressing until it finally started becoming responsive. When I got in, the quick management window (the one you get by swiping down), kept popping up the moment i press the screen. Because of this, I couldnt do anything. I couldn't even turn off the tablet as the power off option was unable to be pressed by me (When i did press, the window came up again).
After a while, i managed to get around this by again randomly pressing stuff. I got really frustrated and decided maybe if I install a custom rom, this problem might be fixed.
I read around a bit and found that the CROMix rom required firmware 1.18, which I did not have. Because of this, i decided to try install 1.18. First i used the asus unlock tool. Next I tried booting into recovery but here I met my problem. I have guides telling me to first boot using power button + volume down key. This worked. It then told me to choose the RCK option and press the volume up key. This however, did not work. When I selected the RCK option, the android figure appeared lying down with a red triangle and exclamation mark over it.
Unsure of what to do in this situation, i read one of the guides on this forum which said simply place the 1.18 zip file (yes i unziped the zip file from the file i downloaded), in the root folder then reboot and it would automatically update. This didnt happen.
I then tried using the adb thing but it said no devices were connected even when my tf701t was connected to the PC. I guessed that I needed to be in the recovery mode that I could not get into, before it would work.
I then read around and they said I had to first get Rom manager + the CMR recovery thing but Rom Manager said it needed root access. In order to get root access, I needed to get into the recovery mode yet again.
So now I am stuck. Whenever I try the RCK option, the error pops up and I can't get any further.
WIll someone please help me? I have no idea what to do anymore except throw the tablet out.

Did you try to put the update on the external sd card? Not sure if that would make a difference but i remember i used to put it there...
You could also flash a custom recovery and flash the update that way. You can find more info in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636093
You should safely be able to update your factory firmware first by putting it at /sdcard location.. Then just reboot. It automatic. I Thought there was also an update available in settings after that. Don't unlock til you are at 4.3.
To unlock with Asus unlock tool make sure Google 2 Step verification is disabled.
Then I used fastboot to flash CWM recovery from a computer. I think you flash with fastboot from the newly unlocked bootloader. Power + Vol DOWN.
After you have flash recovery then you can enter it. No scary man lying down.

I forgot to mention one thing at the start. I don't actually have on hand a external microSD card. Which I think might be why placing the zip file in the root of the internal storage did not work.
Should it work? Is there any way to get around it? I've been trying to use sideload with cwm (finally got cwm working), but it comes up with "failed to write data protocol fault no status"
EDIT: Through cwm, I chose "choose zip from /sdcard" then select the "0" file directory then i found my zip at the location. I selected it and confirmed install. However, it then comes up with "Error in data/media/0/(name of update here).zip status 6"
Thanks for the help so far but anyone have an idea about this?
Not sure. After googling I see this

You can put the zips anywhere when your recovery is installed.
Okay so I finally managed to get the custom rom installed and working. However, this did not fix my problem with the touchscreen. I think it is because it only changed the firmware but not the android version (still 4.3).
Is there any place I could find android 4.2.2 rom? This was the one the tablet was on before the update that screwed everything up. If I could downgrade to that version, it may work again.
Thanks
I gave up and just put on the android 4.3 ota from droidbasement. Now the tablet randomly restarts and is stick in reboot loop. It wont even allow me to boot into cwm recovery to delete the cache. But i accept that I now have a $600 piece of **** on my hands. Going to bed. Night.
Ya i dont like the whole void your warranty for "using it" idea. If it responds to fastboot you might be ok.
You should be able to download a 4.2.2 rom from Asus' website (.47 was the last build for 4.2.2). You can use fastboot to install it.

I tried that before but it stated "update aborted" immediately after i pressed confirm, in CWM.
But all that is in the past now. I am pretty sure that the tablet is hard bricked since it no longer even opens bootloader. I accidentally pressed the wipe data option and I read that irreversibly damages the tablet. When I hold pwr+vl down, nothing happens anymore, it keeps on its reboot loop.
(its my dad phone)
hi so yestarday i installed the "aosp-k3note-5.1.0" rom and it all went fine but worked slow and without bluetooth.

BUT he downloaded it stright to the phone and installed it without erasing anything(date/cache/davlik)...
so when he tried to use the phone it will gives errors like gaps stoped working and all kind of stuff that made the phone useless...
so i downloaded "VIBEUI_V2.8_1526_7.80.1_DEV_K50-T5" rom and gapps64 and went to the CMW and this time i erased the date cach and davlik and installed the rom and after that the gapps
and now i cant get past the welcome screnn becuase as soon as i choose english or chinse it will give me "wlan has stopped" and return to the language menu...
so now im stuck becuase i cant use adb to root it and SP tools dosent work too(i tried to keep it pluged for an hour and it still wont do anything with ot without the battery)

Try removing the battery and plugging the phone in to the PC.
Start SP Tools with CWM set in the scatter and only recovery ticked
Press Download in SP tools and then insert the battery
CWM should download to phone
If that fails repeat but plug the phone in once you press Download, then insert the battery.

Omg..i have almost exactly the same problem and the solution that MrAAnderson suggested didn't work.Here's how i ended in this problem.I was running VIBEUI_V3.0_1602_7.407.1_DEV_K50-T5 ROM on TWRP recovery made By Pr1nc3V app Lenovo K3 Note Manager [v2.1].Since i had annoying bug with "R" (roaming icon) and "gapps stopped working" issue i wanted to re-flash same ROM.I entered into TWRP recowery,cleared dalvik+cache,rebooted into recovery again.Now i wanted to flash ROM,but it didn't flash it gave me an error,same thing happens if i try to flash stock recovery (i even tried naming ROM and recovery as "recovery.zip" and "update.zip").Rebooted the phone but i'm also stucked on welcome screen where i can't pass it because of "Unfortunately,WLAN stopped working".
Tried to flash ROM and stock recovery with SPFlashTool but the tool doesn't see phone at all,same as Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Pr1nc3V .Right now i'm running out of solutions for this mess i created,any advice will help.Help me please to restore my phone.
EDIT: i just realized that i actually made a "factory reset" in TWRP recovery..not just wipe data,cache and dalvik.....what are my options now folks?
Ok i'm happy to announce that i resolved my problem (after a panic mode on,lol).Here is what i did..
1. Obviously you have to get back on your stock (original,ugly chinese-english one) recovery (in case you already didn't..).To do that i used SP Flash tool.(i wouldn't go into details but if you need just ask).
After that we have following situation..stock recovery + dev ROM (which isn't working well).
2.If you try to flash any ROM in this state it will fail (based on my experience,i tried to flash exactly same ROM which is already installed..no way.).So now next step is to get a CUSTOM (TWRP or CM) recovery,again flashing it with SP Flash tools.
From this point you can choose wher would you go...STOCK rom ,MODDED one ...anything actually.I hope i clarified a bit.
sptools is not detecting my device
Hey guys
Samsung Galaxy Mini 5570 is a pretty old device now and definitely not worth to talk about, but It's for my aunt and she said i HAVE to fix it otherwise she will kick my butt.
This is the whole story:
Phone was running a very low android version (it was 2.1 or something) that i could barely install apps on it (Just installed WhatsApp), I decided to upgrade it to a higher version so i could install other applications like Line and Telegram for her, so basically i had to flash CWM file first because it was required, I flashed it using this link:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570/
They said flash the cwm file and factory reset your phone but i flashed the cwm file and rebooted my phone without factory reset, everything was working fine :good: but i decided to follow the instruction so i rebooted into the recovery mode and factory reseted my phone (by my phone i mean her phone, but i'm gonna say my phone instead) and guess what, it never booted up again. stuck on Samsung logo.
But i could go into the download and recovery mode, so basically i followed this instruction:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570-android-4-2-1-cyanogenmod-10-1/
which is from the same guy, I flashed it using recovery mode and flashed gapps too, everything went normal without any errors. So i rebooted my phone and ............
a black screen poped up, I was really worried because i couldn't boot my phone, nor could i go into the recovery or download mode. I don't know if i could or not but the only thing I'm getting right now is a black screen or a backlight.
The only thing that seems to be working is when i hold Power+Volume UP button, my laptop can detect my phone (as Samsung CDMA Technologies) but can not flash anything using Odin, it stucks on "setup connection" message. Nothing else is working, I tried:
Home+power+volume down
Home+power+volume down+volume up
Power+volume down
Power+home
etc
I also tried a hundred different ways like completely uninstalling the drivers (with or without kies) pulling battery out, try those key combination while battery is out and reinsert battery while holding them but nothing is working.
I found this article yesterday which is for unbricking the hard bricked phones, but ADB can not detect my phone:
http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
Please help me guys, And do not suggest me to take it in Customer Service because i would if i could.
Thanks in advance
Hello. My friend recently had me attempt to root his HTC Desire 626s and I told him that I had never attempted on anything other than the Samsung galaxy series before (without ever bricking) he was sure I could get it done and I attempted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and install Cyengyon recovery (forgive me for incorrect spelling). Then, I installed the supersu update via the recovery and then the phone would not boot up. It would get stuck on the white HTC powered by android screen. I then tried to factory reset via the recovery, wiping partition cache etc aswell. No luck, still the same white screen, and now I know I should have updated with the system.img from htc. Because I factory reset, usb debugging isn't enabled and whenever I enter download mode, I am unable to update with adb in the recovery as the device isn't recognized. I know this is not a driver issue. I also realized that the methods I used were for the 5.1 software and I had the 6.0.1. Is there anything you guys can think of to solve my issue and unbrick this phone? I feel really bad for my friend.
Also, I always use XDA in the past, I personally have a Samsung S4 Active which I am rooted running android 4.4.2 <3 xposed. I have never had a need to post a thread until now, which is why I finally made an account.

Re to your question about root mm
Well there is a root for the HTC desire 626s marshmallow 6.0 what I noticed was last time when trying to root it I flashed latest version twrp and the incorrect version of super su I flashed super su 2.46 wich cuased me to be in a boot loop after fixing my phone I tried it again but this time flashed the latest super version su wich is 2.76 and the latest version of twrp the phone rebooted and it worked I have root just that the first time booting after flashing takes 4mins then your phone should be working with root.
