[Q] Dead screen - Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers

Parts of my a7000 screen is completely dead.
That being said, I want to connect a smart watch via bluetooth. Although the ROM I am using does not support .
So I need to flash a ROM with only using parts of my screen....
Would ADB Sideload be the best way to flash ROM w/o using screen?
Once flashed, I can do text to speech to fill out forms... But I was wondering if there might be an app to do a " remote session " of some sort.
No luck finding anything for linux so far.

Maybe TeamViewer app can help you... Remote display...
Also, you might be able to use a mouse. I've seen people use it perfectly.
Sideload from recovery is also a smooth option.

Help me unbrick my phone

So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.
I'm stuck with a bricked G1 here in Brazil.
Currently there is no way of bringin a g1 back to life short of giving it a heart transplant<new board>

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

[Q] Weird Nature sounds coming from phone after flashing to Cognition 3.01

I flashed my phone with Cognition v3.03 and now I am getting these nature noises mixed with music, the kind like you would hear on a white noise machine to relax by. So far it has happened twice. I can't figure out how to stop the "music" without having to shut the phone off and restart. I have tried to use Advanced Task Killer, which reports that all tasks have been killed but the music continues. Has anybody else had this issue.
I also had an issue with incoming calls. When I would receive a call I would get a pop-up message about com.android process has force closed. I was able to resolve this by disabling the Answering call --> Answering mode. Not sure what this was doing but my phone didn't like it. Can someone explain this.
Looks like a bad flash. Did u try restoring to stock and then flashing the ROM again. And do not restore any system data using TiBu.
Cannot flash back to stock
I have tried to flash back to stock but I cannot get any windows pc to recognize my device. I am getting USB Device Not Recognized msg. I have tried this on several Windows based machines (laptops and desktops) all running Win 7 Ultimate one is a 32bit the others are 64bit machines, multiple USB ports, different cables. I have tried un-installing and re-installing drivers. Still not able to get pc to recognize device. I can plug into my Linux laptop (my main laptop) and I can mount as mass storage just fine. I even tried to uninstall the USB ROOT HUB on one of my laptops and still getting the same issue.
Is there another way of flashing back to stock other than using Odin.
also this happens if I am in phone mode with USB debugging enabled or disabled, in download mode as well.

If ur ROM is a 2.2.1 based, u could try copying the ROM in my sig to ur sd card and installing this. This could work, if the ROM u r using too is a 2.2.1 based one.

I found, for me anyways, the source for the nature sounds during music playback. I use doubletwist as my main media player, and just recently used the whole airsync feature. While syncing, I noticed that all of the UI sounds are in the playback folder... And in those UI files are clips for rain and mist and keypress and other various noises.
It really doesn't bother me that much seeing as how the sound clips are less than half a second long and it's just a 'blip' between switching songs.
I am currently using the custom rom di11is5.1 I do like it. Thanks again for the recommendation.

SGS GT-i9000 fozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)

I own a Galaxy S GT-i9000( bought at SFR)
When I connect it to computer I get the prompt that tells to choose between Storage, Kies...
But whatever I choose the computer tells me USB Device not recognised.
Now I was stupid enough to do the following:
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got rom manager and updated my recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775169
The Mobile Network was not working so I did the following
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working. So even though I enter into the Download mode I am not able to use Odin. If you know somthing that I am not doing, let me know.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode. Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

You can try using Mobile Odin.
Also, you can try Heimdall method: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-flashing-to-original-rom-using-heimdall.126/
Hey
have you tried to connect it in Download mode??
Need more solutions
Thanks again to all of you that have answered me so fast.
Well I just finished trying all that you suggested.
unfortunately am still at the same point. Whatever I do, whatever drivers am putting in, cleaning inside the USB port with methylated spirit... Not getting Odin or Kies to detect it.
I read somewhere that when the data connection works, I should see the device named Samsung Device even before installing the drivers, but all I am getting is Unknown device. I still went ahead uninstalling and installing the drivers you provided and there is no successful outcome so far.
I still have faith. I have a little knowledge in electronics. I can open my phone and get to the usb port. My problem is I don't get any tutorial on how to replace the usb port. The thing is the connections are very tiny. I can also do with a bypass way that could make me install a 2nd usb port temporarily just long enough to flash the phone.
Or a hardware solution if I have to remove and flash a specific IC in a certain manner.
Thank you in advance.

hi there,
after doing alot of stuff to your phone that wasnt nessacary i'm not surprised it doesnt work er sorry . the only thing i can think of is the following whenever i have a problem with windows i go to linux, which is faster , much more efficient . so i suggest that you install linux ( ubuntu the best ) and try using odin with the linux version, it often detects things that windows doesnt see. other than that sorry cant think of anything else .
see ya
Trying it

Look like a quite number of people are having this same issue and haven't got over it.

It wouldn't be bricked if he could flash a stock rom. Read the question. If you don't know don't answer.
To answer if you can't use the touch screen I think you're stuffed. I'm not aware if you can start apk manually ie triangle away via adb. Maybe someone more technical can help you.

well the OP mentioned odin and download mode so thought he can get to there it doesn't need touch just buttons to get to download mode and then flash a stock via PC odin
as for bricking there is something called soft bricking

But he can get into download mode. It doesn't sound like he's bricked to me. Bricked would mean you can't even get to download mode. Soft bricked sounds like where he is at and he can most likely ODIN back to stock.
OP is new here, I think he needs to read the stickies.

if u bricked the touchscreen you can still plug an USB-on-the-go cable to the phone and then plug a mouse into the USB-OTG-cable.
then use the mouse instead of touchscreen inputs. For me it worked perfect
Agreed

Was having wifi issues, found a tutorial on flashing firmware via usb, BUT downloaded an old firmware that made the whole device go to hell.
Has anyone managed to recover their device, or am I the only soul who was dumb enough to put myself in this situation.
I cannot get into fastboot, recovery, etc. booting leads to a blank screen.

You will have to flash the stockrom files via Odin i am afraid

I was able to make some progress. Whenever i tried to fastboot a device would popup for a second on the computer and then disappear. At first I thought it was fastboot interface but looking closely at the device "OMAP4430" with vid 0451 and pid D00F, turns out it is an interface used to flash new first stage and main bootloaders on various devices such as galaxy nexus and galaxy tab 2 along with pandaboard and certain lg phones. There are utilities such as OMAP flash (by Texas instruments) and OMAP4BOOT (unofficial open source) that could talk to the device using this protocol. People have made scripts around these utilities to unbrick other devices mentioned above. I have played with these tools and i am able to push first loader called MLO or " xloader" by TI, fortunately google provides xloader with XE23 but i am not been able to push the main bootloader perhaps someone with more experience can help write configuration scripts for these tools that would work on glass so that i can get to fastboot and restore my device.
