Would be so grateful if somebody could help me..been searching the internet for hours!
My phone is S-OFF, done through revolutionary. I wanted to update OTA from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, but my phone wouldn't update. It would download the update and then just restart the phone, without having installed the update. I searched the net and found something that said I need to go back to S-ON by installing a RUU rom. I did so, and it worked fine.
My phone then told me I have system updates, so I followed the instructions and it worked fine. It then told me again that I have another system update, this time 2.3.5, and this time it got further in the installation process, but then when it rebooted, it got stuck at the HTC screen, with the white background.
I've tried going into recovery, hboot, fastboot, factory reset, and tried installing custom roms but nothing is helping.
Please, someone help me and tell me I have hope and that I haven't bricked it.
Ok.
first off, Hii!! this is my first ever time writing on XDA.
Any way, i know this is not a new issue.. but my ATIV S is rebooting every 5 seconds after the 8.1 update via preview for developers.....
i did a lot of digging before writing here and found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718023
I followed the instructions and flashed the GT-I8750_DXBMJ1_R_signed ROM along side the GT-I8750_VJALL3_P csc (this is the only combination that gave me some results.
After flashing, my phone did manage to boot up finally but with a twist. Trying to restart the phone sends me back to the boot loop forcing me to reflash everything again.
i tried the tip from the thread to download the preview for developers app and try to update the phone again (claiming it will resolve the issue) but as soon as the phone goes to reboot before the update the boot loop comes back and we're back to squire one.... so i'm kinda stuck.... is there any kind of FIX i can try to help me sad situation? :crying::crying::crying::crying:
I've had a lot of issues with my Ativ S as well.
Your rebooting issue seems recognizable, maybe this thread will help : https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...ime-after-wp-81-update?forum=winphoneosissues
Anyway, I'm on the latest Developer Preview update, my Firmware version is : 2424.14.9.3
It seems the phone is much more stable now, however i'm only using this phone for development, there is no sim card present anymore.
Switched to a new Nokia for my main device.
Advice : If you want a decent Windows Phone, buy a Nokia, not a Samsung or HTC.
Thank you for the reply!
i did some more digging and found that flashing the GDR2 FW 2424 actually helps. after that the is a need to update the phone to the official GDR3 update in the phone updater in settings. i am trying that as we speak and really hope it will work
BTW this ATIV S is my backup phone and not my daily driver (i use a Galaxy s4) i just wanna fix it up to use as my work phone. my trust in windows phone is gone for now XD
EDIT: OK, so i followed the thread and applied the instructions...
at first, i flashed the GDR2 official ROM with the instructed csc file and everything booted up well. at this point they say that if the phone is to be restarted the boot loop will come back (it did when i tested it)
afterwards, i installed the preview for developers app and started updating to the official GDR3 update as instructed. it finished up and booted up well. the next step was to update to 8.1... i did and at first it worked well but as soon as i disconnected the USB cable, the loop returned again. (if i connect the USB cable back it's booting up normally)
BTW i tried doing it all from scratch and noticed that in every step of the process, if i disconnect the cable the loop come's back and disappears as soon as i plug it back in... anyone has any idea what to do next?

A little different brick of my Moto G 2nd gen(XT-1068).plz help
Hi ,
Please dont ignore my mail just bcoz its too long. I have been following this thread from four to five days. Will you please help me ? Just have a look at my problem. I have been rooting my android phones and have good experience of testing , rooting the handsets. Recently I flashed my Moto G ( xt-1068 ) with lolipop because i was not able to wait till motorolla release it.
I tested it for few days , and successfully downgraded back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It was all fine. I love MIUI so I started my work to port MIUI over our favourite Moto G . I even ported it and was not booting. So I edited updter-script and was trying to flash it back on my xt-1068.
Now the mistake that happened was , due to some error in the script , It aborted the installation. When i checked the log from CWM , It has crossed partitioning and it aborted while extracting the directorties. By mistake I restarted the phone and since the partitions were flashed and there was nothing to execute , my phone is stuck. Its not even starting . Its getting recognised as "qhsusb_bulk". Thts why i came over this thread and tried to follow the procedure you have mensioned.
I am also getting the same error like while flaashing with blank-flash : FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame) and FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet) .
So do i have the same problem that happened with theses guys who tried to downgrade their handsets from Lolipop to kitkat ? If its so , should I also wait for Lolipop release by moto ? or will i have some other problem ? Do you have any solution ? I was really wanted to make MIUI available for our Moto G . I don't feel sad for bricking of m phone but what ifeel sad is I want it back. I can't pass my day without it. i am missing it. Please can you suggest me wht should I do ?
Thanks in advance.

firmwares
do someone has the moto g 2gen firmwares on extention .tar.gz i need them to fix my phone
Help!!
Hi people.
Well, only 2 weeks ago I got my Moto G XT1063 and I unlocked bootloader to install Soak Test of Android 5.0.2 with RetailUSA firmware. (My device's original firmware, was for Claro Colombia).
It worked well, I got it running perfect. Yesterday I saw that official/final version of 5.0.2 was available for my device with RetailUSA firmware, but I needed to do a downgrade to KitKat first, because it wouldn't work if I was in Soak Test yet.
So I made the downgrade, and it was running well, I checked for updates, and there was no updates availables, so I decided to reboot, to see if it may make the update appear. But after turning off my device, and trying to turn it on again, just nothing happened.
Now, my device doesn't want to turn on, neither in fastboot mode. And now, I don't know what to do here. So I would be really thankful for any help provided.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
partitions whacked out?
It seems I am unable to flash anything probably due to partitions broken. When I try to do a fastboot flash, It results in OKAY, but it has no effect on the device. I tried to flash the gpt.bin to partition, but the problem remains. Is there any way to repair the partitions? I tried to format in fastboot, I get the error "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'". I am also unable to change format from recovery. All ideas welcome!
This issue came up after my phone went battery empty.

Same here, also due to 0% battery.
Seems these phones do not shutdown early enough before the battery voltage drops below spec. ****ty engineering.
Please, someone help us for the sake of god.
There are several people with this problem and we don't know how to fix it.
Is there any possibility, any help, anything we could test would be welcome.
