Hi all,
So, I was running fine with CROMi-X KitKat, but wanted to upgrade to Marshmallow (to install sw not supported in KitKat), so decided to try KatKiss 6.0. It's been years since I've played with flashing ROMs, but I did a little reading to refresh my memory. Then I rebooted into recovery (ClockworkMod), backed everything up, then wiped everything, formatted /data, and tried flashing the KatKiss zip file. At that point, it just sat there forever at the ASUS logo screen:
{

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried several times to boot back into recovery by holding the Vol+ and Power buttons, but it either doesn't boot, or boots to the above screen. I've connected it to my Mac w/ the Android SDK Platform Tools, but adb doesn't see any device listed. [I've got an old Windows laptop (XP?)] I could use if it will do something the Mac can't.]
Any advice on how I can save this tablet?
Have you found a solution finally?
Well, I haven't found a solution, but after letting it sit unplugged for months, I came across it today as I was straightening up. I plugged it in, waited maybe half an hour, and was able to boot it into recovery mode. I was then able to restore from a backup, and damned if it didn't reboot and come up just fine. No idea why it wouldn't boot into recovery before, but I'm happy camper!

I've done some searching, but can't seem to find this particular situation.
Stats: Original droid, running clockwork, cyanogen 6.x, everything worked well this weekend. It's not activated currently, but the phone behaved as it should all weekend, as I prepped it for sale yesterday.
Yesterday, I rebooted the phone. Well, sort of. It rebooted, and my motorola logo is centered in the left third of the screen, rather than in the center third. It will not move past the moto logo when powered on.
I've tried X+power, and assorted other combos, and the only one that will allow me access to anything is holding down+camera when booting, which gives me a bootloader 2c.6c screen, showing that the battery is okay, and that it's okay to program.
I can connect in this mode to RSD lite, and attempt a reflash, but when the phone reboots, it goes back to the crooked motorola logo screen, and stays there.
Initially, before I attempted to reflash with rsd, I could find the device with adb, but it wouldn't reboot or reboot-bootloader, hanging instead on the crooked logo.
Am I missing anything? If it's bricked, it's bricked, it hasn't been my primary phone since I bought my X, but Ideally I'd like to restore it and either keep it as a backup, or sell it and make a buck or two.
Sorry for writing a book, just figured I'd convey as much info as possible.

my cool new boot page. The bottom right side is just some white nonsense, no legible text or anything.
Really? No thoughts at all? Not even a "dude, you're so screwed".
Hi,
My problem is yesterday, I tried to upgrade my Tab from 2.3.4 OS to 4.0.4 OS using Odin v1.85 and aokp ICS rom. During the process, I realized that I hadn't recharged the tab to full battery (as I remember, it was around 30 - 50%). The upgrade failed and now my Tab is bricked.
I tried to connect it to main AC power, for several hours, it came up like below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And no matter how I try to boot it up, using vol up/vol down + power button,...etc, it always kind of shutting down, battery icon disappears then after several hours, it turns back on again.
Any ideas? I really need your help
Can you try to enter into recovery mode or download mode? Try to enter to download mode and install stock rom from from this link. If you want install Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod is curently have version 4.2.2 and have so many things and you can install updates like piece of cake he said to you updates are available and you download and install it with no roblems. If you are interested for Cyanogenmod see on this Youtube channel how to install Cyanogenmod and root your tablet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI79j97R4qw

Thanks but somehow I let the battery drained to zero, then recharged it and connected to the PC, restored the tab normally through its factory mod. Again thank you!!
Hi! I have a huge problem. A couple of days ago I decided to install a custom ROM on my DEFY. I am a total rookie in this field, so I googled a little and got some information needed. I rooted my phone with One Click Root method. Then I installed 2ndInit and got an access to Custom Recovery. I downloaded CyanogenMod10, did a backup, wiped all my data and flashed CM10. Everything worked just fine and I was satisifed. But I forgot to do a copy of my contacts and some other stuff, so I decided to flash my backup back and store my contacts on sd card. I opened custom recovery and wiped all the data from the phone. Then I wanted to restore my backup, but my phone got somehow stuck or something and I had to reboot it. Now I cannot access custom recovery any more! When turn my phone on, I can only see Motorola logo. I can only get to so called Android recovery, where I can only wipe my data, and bootloader. So I tried the whole RDS Lite method, just as it was described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639
Everything seemed to work fine, but after getting to around 97% it looked like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I am out of options right now and I have no idea, what to do now. Can anyone please help me? I searched the web and I can't possibly find anything! Please, I really need to fix this.
Say more about phone and computer .
Computer OS , 64 or 32 bit

Have you try other SBF ?
So recently I did a stupid and accidentally switched off my OPO during an update installation and completely screwed it all up. I tried switching it back on only to find that it was stuck in a recovery mode loop. I then hit factory reset in a last ditch attempt to save the poor bugger without flashing it and even that didn't work.
I've then had to resort to flashing it using the OPO toolkit software on my PC however when connecting to the PC, my OPO only shows up as an MTP USB Device and nothing else. I have tried installing recommended Samsung drivers for the phone but I wasn't able to as it the "update drivers" button was greyed out on the MTP USB Device properties window.

Basically, the OPO toolkit will not work as no android devices are recognised by the PC even though an android device is showing up in the control panel.
There is no way I can currently access the settings on my phone due to recovery mode loop obviously.
The last thing I want to do here is end up with being forced to use the OnePlus support which I hope most of you understand why.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi,
This thread is being moved to your own dedicated forum , where the experts may be able to help you better.
Good luck!
Put it in downloading mode and then use adb to use the toolkit since bow u don't have a os on the OPO happened with me too but I fixed it this way

Ok, so to begin with information that this is my old phone so I use it for fun.
Earlier I installed Android 4.4.2 on him, overclocked him and everything was fine (except low RAM and little heat problem xD).
Yesterday I wanted to install Android 5.0 and I copied files, went to recovery mode, wiped data, then install ROM and everything. Then I turned on phone for first time after installing, and phone pops this

I suppose I should have rebooted phone but I clicked Reset phone. After that phone rebooted himself and after cyanogenmod and devconnection logo, TWRP logo start flashing. And every time I tru to turn phone on booting stops on TWRP logo and it start flashing.
I turned it off again, and tried to go to recovery mode but unsuccessfull, tried it couple more time same result. Then I tried to go to download mode and I was successfull.
So I went to computer, download Odin (few versions just in case), downloaded TWRP and CWM recoveries for my phone. I opened Odin, connected phone in download mode (Added! poped in Odin) and tried to flash TWRP on my phone. Then Odin was stuck on "setup connection", older versions of Odin aswell. Then I changed ports, versions and even computers (tried even on laptop) - same effect.
So my question is can you help me do factory reset or how to flash new recovery?
Any suggestion is welcome.
