lp needed for bootloading x51v - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

After flashing x51v with many roms including the latest makuu's WM 6.5 I think it died at last.It tries to boot but it only shows blue dell logo.I tried again to load many different roms but each time it fails in the middle.Under the"Sd Image Update AXX_g3" bar,It always says "Image update failed .Please try it again"
If possible I need suggestions any other than the followings as I tried them:
Ensured that it is not the battery latch problem and the lock button is not on.
Soft and hard reset was done and only showed blue dell logo.
I already tried waiting for about 30 mins but nothings happens. The bad side is that since this happened, I have the same effect with all other images I tried which flawlessly worked before. I tried the Dell ones and others from Lenny but they are not writing any longer, same as above. I still can start the process, so the bootloader is working.
I always use a fresh formatted card and the Ax is on external power each time. I learned that over time as well. I tried a third card today, 1GB, with the same result.
I did run the diagnostics and everything passed besides the "Flash" part.It shows only "0" each time. So this is why it refuses all images and does not start the write process.
For those who don't know, you can run the diag by holding Power and Record (below WLAN) buttons and pressing reset for a moment. Keep holding the other two until the diagnostics screen pops up.
Looks I successfully bricked my Ax.

HELP!!!!

:?
I tried to make an update with the file JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301
Suddenly the Display stop et 99% of the extended Rom Update and on my monitor was an infomation like "an error happend"
After this, nothing else happend .
Yes, realy nothing happens anymore. I cant start the device not with power, not with reset or with power+reset
nothing nothing nothing
What can i do
If i start to try a new update, it schows me no information about what rom etc. is installed or what will be installed. if i then start i get the notice, that it is the wrong device.
Help me please. ist there any way to put the mda back to live?????
I guess i dont only need an update but the complete software
HELP!!!
I have the exact same issue after the upgrade. Nothing will happen. I spent several hours trying resets, combination of button pressed, removed battery, resets, just to try to get back the boot loader mode but nothing is happening.
there has to be a way to do this and I hope someone on this board had that issue before and got it resolved.
I had a similair issue with my old XDA II, it turned out my storage card was corrupted. Use a card reader to check your storage card is OK, perhaps format the storage card (having saved any data first of course) and see how you fare
Have had the same problem wirh a radio ROM update on my QTEK9000. The anly thin that still worked was the hard reset. After the hard reset the device still did not respond. But when i connected it to the PC I could start the updateprocess of the original ROM. I took about 20 minutes for the whole procedure and than the Qtek9000 was back in factory default (Pffff and I could breath again).
So perhaps you can try a hard rest and then connect aganin to the PC.
I allready tried this!
But nothing happens.
Even if i put the power device or the usb into the mda, no LED schows anything. just sometimes the LED is red for not more than a minute. if it then goes out, i get the message "Unknown usb device" in my PC
Are you in bootloeader mode? Do you see the words USB or Serial on the screen of the Universal in Portrait mode. Note: Backlight is off so you have too look real hard, but it should be there
no, i see nothing.
I had quite a hard time yesterday while upgrading. The bootloader is very hard to see, use a torch to lite up your display. In portrait view on the top should be the word serial or usb, on the bottom v1.00.
I also did a hard-reset in this stage, but it just returned to the bootloader menue.
If I connect to the PC and the device is recognized I see the word serial in the display change to USB. For me I do not know the reason but my PC did not want to fulfill the upgrade process. Needed to take another PC (Laptop) to solve the problem. After the upgrade of the ROM, You still need to upgrade the Radio (this was my experience) before a cold-reset will put You back to business.
Good luck.

Having the exact same problem as gary_b and having performed quite a few upgrades, I can confirm there is absolutlely nothing on the screen. The unit will not go into bootloader mode or even able to do a hard reset. It is not recognized when plugged in the USB.
When connected to power and the hard reset procedure is done, the red charging light will come up for less than 1/2 seconds and disappear.
I tried all different combination to make it boot but nothing. If I could at least get it to bootloader more, I can revive it.
Feel very bad I cannot help here.
I was wondering Yesterday about one thing. IF, during all this upgrading process, the battery runs out, (as it does not seem to charge during upgrade process) will it show bootloader screen ?
Would it be possible to get a loaded battery from somebody to check yours ?
That is a good suggestion to try out, but I have been unable to find anyone that has that device. It might be simply a drained battery.
Mine got corrupted I think at the end of the upgrade right after I did a regular reset instead of teh power and reset procedure.
However, I would think that even with no battery in, the unit should power back up when plugged in no?
Maybe an idea for somebody who is doing upgrading now, and is in bootloader status anyway.
Take out the battery, but connect with USB to PC with ASync. Does the bootloader state show ?
I am sorry to not do it for myself, if You saw my desperate state Yesterday, You will believe that I am not willing to see that bootloader screen for some time, sorry.
Ruud
now i know what to do:
Nothing!!
I went to a service-point with my mda pro and there was nothing to do with it.
If this happens the complete memory is "killed". Like "format c:" and while format is running you switch out the power.
Thanks god: I got a new MDA pro because i did not tell them (in the store)that i tried an update!
But i called the service-line before anf they told me that there is nothing to do!
But thx
Wow, can't say that this is good informatuin for those with this problem, but very glad it worked out for You.
I ve had this problem 5 minutes ago. Finally a took out the battery. Then connect to AC and Red led is on. Then i put the battery, tried hard reset and message to confirm hard reset in the screen (wellcome to life, jasjar).Then i run radio update again and it's upgrading rigth now....buffffff
I almost suffered a heart attack when this happened an hour ago. Have found that the update works fine if the SD card is taken out... phew.

Boot problems - can't get to Tricolor, but boots to Android

Hello all,
I've searched and found some things, but nothing that matches my problem.
HTC Kaiser, branded Swisscom. HardSPL, I don't remember the version. Trying to get to tricolor screen, no key combo works. Camera+reset w/stylus, camera+power, even the two soft keys to reinstall the rom in memory.
After pulling the battery (and waiting more than 5 minutes) and inserting again, pushing the power button turns on the green LED, but goes no further, even after waiting up to 10 minutes. Pulling the battery, then plugging in the USB charger (without presses the power button) will flash a white screen after 7 seconds, then a pause of another 10 seconds, then the phone boots in to Android (again, without pushing the power button, just plugging in the USB cable.
Once in Android, everything works (except the factory reset, it just hangs forever). I need to install WM 6.5 ROM.
Tried the KAISDIAG.NBH and the 329 HardSPL recovery, but no reaction and still can't get to the tricolor.
One last piece of information, when I plug in the USB data cable, the phone flashes the "USB connected" message, and then repeatedly flashes it again every 3 seconds. The computer makes the USB connected sound, but no communication and the KaiserCustomRUU.exe can't see the phone.
Any suggestions to get to the tricolor? It unusual to turn on the phone by just plugging in the USB cable.
Thank you and great work.
Try power+camera+stylus pressing the reset.
A while back the charging behaviour was changed, so that now plugging in a charger, or usb, boots the phone, ( previously we could not charge if it was switched off).
Your problem of `losing` the bootloader has been seen before, but is rare, and seems to have no definite cause, the last time I remember seeing it turned out to be a faulty camera button.

Thanks and one more question
Thanks Zenity.
I'll continue working on it. One quick question, is there a command in Android to force a hard reset or to the boot loader?
Camera Button
Ok, after searching more (due to Zenity's suggestion) and reading other threads, I don't think it's a faulty (Fawlty?) camera button.
Somehow, the phone takes along time to boot, and must use some info from the bootloader, as it loads Android.
But all attempts to get into the bootloader fail. I can't establish communication by USB, but I think I will focus my efforts there. I've pushed and help all the buttons in different combinations for too long.
I'll let you know, and thanks again!
Ok, done some research into way to detect that the camera button is functioning, ( since this button is vital in getting the bootloader), no luck yet, but research continues, looking at remapping the camera button using atools, just so i can get a response of some sort, ( normally the camera button does nothing in android, it's unmapped).
Edit: nope, atools won't help, won't let me remap the camera button.
Atools-keymapper remap the key only in the android GUI not in kernel so any change doesn't effect directly the kernel.
Yeah, realised that, just thought there might have been an easy way of diagnosing the camera button, to see if it was at least functioning, but if it's not enabled at kernel level then it will be difficult to test without disassembly and getting a meter on it.

Update - Android.process.acore
Hey all, still trying to connect by USB to use the CustomRUU tool. Now when I plug in the USB, I get a repeating 'Process android.process.acore has stopped etc".
when I click force close, it pops up again and again.
Pulled the battery, and rebooted. Now it boots repeatedly, it shows the splash screen, right when it should go to the Android home screen, it reboots.
Any ideas? Thank you!
probable that the FC and subsequent reboot corrupted the data partition, which is known to happen when the device shuts down unexpectedly.
You can try a 'fix permissions', and 'clear dalvik cache', but normally it takes a wipe and re-install of the system, you may get away with not clearing data, but it's often safer to go for the full wipe of system and data.

[Q] Bootloader nightmare

I have a nordic HTC Touch Pro 2
This unit started acting up after I installed the Energy ROM from the 20th of December. It used to fail in booting occationally(fixed by attaching USB-power), but now it is thouroughly stuck in the bootloader.
This is what I see when I reboot:
RHOD100 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.85.OliNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroLED(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
509,521 792,844
795,200 221,198
226,843 Calibrated
Serial (changes to USB when connected)
There is a quick flash of 2 previous screens, one tri-color and one saying something about no image to load.
I belive, but would be thrilled to be proven wrong, that I have tried all tricks.
Running Windows 7 I first disabled device driver signing and loaded the HTC USB driver. Downloaded mtty 1.42, connected to the phone via USB and ran "boot" command.
The only problem listed was one bad block in CE.
Tried reboot again with same error.
"info 8" revealed that the bad block is 370.
Ran "task 29" but it gave an error trying to delete block 370.
Rebooted and tried to flash latest 29007 Energy ROM. No errors reported during the flash, still when it rebooted after reaching 100% it stopped in bootloader again.
I have also tried this procedure and replaced the Energy ROM with the latest original nordic ROM. When I use "boot" command from mtty I get the HTC screen (white background with htc in green letters) but the phone apparantly is stuck there. A soft restart brings me bach to the bootloader again.
Is my phone bricked? I'm not sure what to do or try next and as I have seen others report my battery is draining and will not charge(no light) when plugged in to computer or charger.
Thanks in advance, I love what you all do for this community and wouldn't have still used tha TP2 if it wasn't for all the great ROMs presented here!
NVM, re-read and see you already tried my suggestion.
Additional info
I ahould add that I also can't do a hard reset. Pressing and holding send and end and then power button only result in getting the bootloader menu. I borrowed a freshly charged battery and tried loading a new ROM, but no change, it still only restarts to the bootloader after completion.
If you can get into bootloader and the usb shows when plugged in, you should be able to flash back to stock via RUU.
Try this;
Open your downloaded ROM with unzipper. You should see two files, the RUU and the RHODIMG.nbh. Copy the .nbh onto the root of your SD card. Powerup the device holding the volume down. It should boot to bootloader and immediatly look for and find the .nhb and install it.
Hope that helps.
Hi!
Thanks for your answers! Sorry about the late reply!
I tested with RHODIMG.nbh file(29007 Energy) on the SD-card. The installation started and ran as expected. When done the screen showed the following info:
"RHODIMG.nbh - OK
OS - OK
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS"
There were no button to press on the screen, and pressing the power-button didn't do anything. I eventually removed the battery, reinstalled the battery and pressed the power button. Unfortunately for me I was once again presented with the bootloader screen.
Any ideas to a new approach? I really don't want to write off the phone as bricked, it should have about a year left in it before I consider replacing it.
Try this:
When powered off, attach headset to the phone. Then press power button.
My Touch Pro2 ran into the same situation recently, showing nothing but a 3-color screen with the same information as you listed. I haven't tried mtty but I found if I plug in the headset, it boots normally. No idea why...
It sounds like an error in the instruction set for the bootloader. Maybe cmonex can help you with a bootloader-friendly version of Hard SPL to re-flash.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
he already has Hard-SPL so he could just reflash it with the Hard-SPL exe in manual mode, but as the version number is the same, the device may skip the updating of the SPL. if the OP wants to try this, I can make one with a different version number. though I seriously doubt that the issue would be fixed that way...
Headset trick
Hi,
Again, thanks to all that try to help me!
I tried the headset trick just now and look and behold, it actually worked! My limited brain can't come up with any plausible explenation but I'm happy anyway
I do remember reading about this trick at some point, but I couldn't locate a headset until today. Thanks lilei105!
Now I will reboot the unit several times to ensure this wasn't just a coincident.
Edit: Booted 4 times, still no problem. Have booted both with and without USB-cable connected to PC.
Yeah my advice would be re-flash it or install/download a different ROM.
i may be way off here, but could it be a problem with the volume down button on the unit? maybe the headset bypasses the standard volume button?

Stuck at Google logo screen

So, it's been a fun couple of days.
I was 'tabling' away, as usual, and my tablet suddenly reboots (if it matters, I was just opening FPSE, as I'd done dozens of times before; Skype was on background; every other process was finished). 'Ok', I thought, 'that's weird'. When the tablet's done rebooting, the lockscreen shows up, and when I try to unlock it, the scren just freezes. Couldn't turn off the screen, nothing. So, I force a shutdown by pressing the power button.
When I try to turn it on again, it just stays stuck at the Google logo screen. I tried going in through recovery, but the result is the same. Select recovery, Google logo shows up, little android with exclamation point doesn't.
I tried formating through fastboot -w, but the process just keeps endlessly deleting, while doing nothing at all. I have to quit command line, shut down tablet or unplug the USB cable with a command line message showing up (I once left it while I went for a coffee; two hours of deleting nothing at all). Same thing with trying to unlock bootloader to maybe going to recovery after flahsing a custom recovery.
I don't mind losing everything I had. All pictures are recuperable and the rest is either in the cloud or in my phone/PC. The most annoying thing would be to set up the whole thing again, wich is no trouble at all (that and going through PvZ2 and TD Bloons 5 from the start :crying: ).
I was using Android 4.4 (KRT16S), everything stock.
Is it bricked, soft-bricked, did the aliens get it? I am e-mailing with someone from the store I bought it from, hoping for a solution or (worst case scenario) RMA, but I would rather solve this without having to.
Try flashing system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img, by hand.
Your emmc likely got corrupted
How do I do that with a locked bootloader and no access to recovery? Is it possible?

Problem with booting G4

Hello, I would like to first tell you the story my LG G4 has gone through and then I tell you the error.
So, at first my phone was working absolutely properly. I accidentally deleted some pictures and to do a recovery, I had to root it. And rooting would be useful for later so why not do it?
So I first unlocked the bootloader through the code from the LG site. After unlocking, the phone reset (because it would be just too good to make some memory changes and nothing more.) But allright. Then I was ready to root. I just booted the phone, everything was fine. I unlocked the developer mode and opened ADB. I rebooted to recovery through
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I was expecting to see some menu with buttons (but that would be just too good). However, I saw just android with a red triangle in the middle. Nothing more. No response to buttons, nothing.
So I thought. Allright, let's boot into recovery using hardware buttons (vol down + power) at startup. Unfortunatelly, it seemed like there is no such mode System just normally booted (and that was just after bootloader unlocking. Recovery mode goodbye.).
I tried to send commands to the phone using diagnostic port. Unfortunately, it responded by FAIL to every command.
I reboot to bootloader and booted an image: "boot-em.img" (from here: google: how-to-root-lg-g4-on-android-6-0-marshmallow-20a20b-firmware. I'm a newbie here. thx for understanding.)
After that the console uploaded the image and booted successfully. Then, however, system started to boot up and was endlessly booting (LG boot animation) till the battery was critical.
I was able to access the EMI number through volume-down button and volume-up button pressed simultaneously.
I was also able to access some factory-reset dialog by holding volume-down and pressing power-button several times. I choosed to reset everything and then accepted it with one more 'are you sure dialog'. System rebooted and was stucked in the LG boot animation.
Then I got to download mode, since recovery mode was lost in hell. Through LG-UP I flashed the original KDZ firmware and everything got back to normal, but recovery mode was still inaccessible through the hardware buttons. I got through the process of setting everything up, getting developer, rebooting to bootloader and I booted TWRP.
TWRP loaded and it responded to double-tap on screen to wake it up. I just checked the menus and let the phone sleep.
After several hours I went back to the phone and double-tapped on display. Nothing. Phone was not responding. I pressed the power button and the phone restarted (I think. It either restarted into the system or was not responding to power button.)
So I got to the system and again rebooted to the TWRP (through fast-boot). I tried to back-up one partition to the disk. During the process phone had turned the display off. So I double tapped. Nothing. I removed the SD card and the phone woke, saying that back-up process was not able to complete. Suddenly it stopped responding to double-tap. It woke up through an interrupt. I re-inserted the card, successfully backed-up the partition to the SD-card and I left the phone laying on the bed plugged in the charger. It stayed that way for 4 hours or so, doing nothing. All of a sudden, a yellow screen was there, (and that's a screen of absolute death that was never supposed to come. Little I knew.) saying that an unexpected critical error happened and to do a memory dump, insert a cable, set up some communication (I don't remember what it was, didn't take a picture of it.) and it could send the memory dump to PC or somewhere. I thought to myself. So, the application is not so stable after all. It said that to reboot just press the power button or something.
And now the problem comes:
The first start: Bootloader booted, LG animation went on and finished. The starting up apps dialog came rolling. Then, system restarted.
The restart: Bootloader booted, LG animation went on and freezed. Then, the phone restarted.
Second restart: The same thing as the first one.
Fourth restart up till now: Bootloader tries to boot and restarts before the LG animation.
I got to download mode and it restarted even there. After re-inserting the batterry I can sometimes get to the Firmware Update window and communicate. There I flashed the official firmware again.
No success, as if I didn't even do it. It restarts before the animation.
Can I do anything with the phone? Hopefully I can. No hardware problem occured (except for a situation where the error could fry the wires inside the mighty System On Chip.)
For the software state I cannot even tell but I might say it's cooked just wrong. That's why I came here.
I know I did some pretty stupid steps. But the error was not done by me. It worked fine and after the yellow screen which came by itself, it just (some bad words).
Thanks for replies.

Solution
So, I was looking around and believe it or not, this problem disconnected the pins on the motherboard's snapdragon 808.
I think this happened: The device, although it was heated many times during its life, it withstood that so far.
However, a longer run of the TWRP had finished it off. Memory got disconnected while running and it threw a yellow-screen.
Pins got disconnected and from then on it was just a standard common LG bootloop issue.
The continuous process of dying (First it partially loaded, then only animation, then nothing) is explained by this fact that the pins were so-so there and a couple of reboots just got it totaled.
Temporary fix:
Pre-heated the memory chip to 250°C using Hot-Air gun. After 18 seconds at this temperature I pressed the memory on top of the snapdragon down to the board while cooling.
Then I added a little metal square on the metal part that is covering the system on chip. This part is over the SOC where before there was just some tape.
This can work for several days in sleep mode or a couple of 'heat-demanding' operations on the phone.
Permanent solution should be to reball the memory chip on the snapdragon. That's my next step.
