Earlier today, I ran the updated 15/10/11 version of the ace hack kit. Like it was suggested, I read through the manual then I re-read it and re-read it again. As suggested, I disabled / uninstalled all security software on my pc and the other superfluous services. Ran the executable drivers file then I set the phone to charge only and usb debugging was ticked.
I then ran the hack-ace.cmd file as administrator and let the program do it's thing.
It appeared to have completed without any glitches in the suggested 6 minutes.
However, on the phone, all was not well. Since running this, the screen remains blank. When I power on, I get the HTC logo and then it disappears / disintegrates into a blank screen and nothing happens.
The only reason I ran this was to get rid of the irritating apps that I never use but have to Kill every day.
Can anyone help to overcome this problem? This was a replacement handset that I had to fight with my insurance company to get only for this to happen.
I am literaly at my wits end.
Thanks

i think you need to install custom rom and flash it in recovery follow the steps in instruction in ace hack kit because it happen to me also when I ran the ace hack kit..

Yes this is the best thing to do. Something must have corrupted your stock ROM. If AAHK completed properly, then you should have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
The first thing I did was install 4EXT recovery but thats not necessary, that was just a personal choice.
So these are the steps you should take:
1: Download a new ROM and put it on your SD card in a convenient place (I recommend the RCMIX32 Runny 3.1 ROM)
2: Remove the battery and reinsert the battery
3: Hold down the volume down button and then hold down the power button. You will get to a white screen with some green robots on the bottom. This is the bootloader screen. You will have to wait a bit for it to finish scanning the SD card. It will tell you when it is finished
4: Use the volume buttons to select recovery and press the power button to select it
5: After a few seconds the recovery environment will appear
6: Go to the wipe menu. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and system if you have the option. I havent used Clockworkmod in a while so I cant really remember what options you have there)
7: Go a few menu's back and select Install zip from SD card
8: Select the zip file
9: Press yes on the confirmation screen
10: When it is finished, click reboot now. It might be on the menu back
This will install a new ROM and it should work properly. If you have any problems along the way just say and we will help to the best of our ability
Thanks for the responses.
I don't think ClockworkMod is installed as there are no options available when I select recovery. It just reboots the device back to the HTC splash screen which as mentioned then fades / deteriorates to a black screen. I had tried the Android HD Revolution rom but no difference.
One thing I did yesterday in my panic was to select 'Factory reset'. Will this have usb debugging setting?
Finally, when I connect to a pc, it doesn't see it. Is this because it's still set on charge only mode?
I'm probably my own worst enemy
If you finally press "Factory reset" you will reset USB debugging, then you can't root your phone using this tools kit. Try to reinstall the stock rom.
If you didn't root your DHD. Phone may still under warranty.
Hi Guys
I've managed to get this back up and running again.
After a lot of playing about with various file downloads last night, I finally managed to get my pc to see the phone. After that, I just downloaded a stock rom and installed it.
After this fright, I am reluctantly going to stick with this and not bother with rooting / custom roms.
Anyway, many thanks for all your responses, I really appreciate the time you took to helpo me out.
This forum absolutely rocks.
Hi,
I've just downloaded, I read the 'effen' manual and then ran ace-hack, it seems to have worked except I can't see clockwork mod recovery?
I can see superuser and ROMmanager, is it still ok to try and download and flash a custom ROM?
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Well to confirm my noob status I have now found that clockwork mod recovery is indeed installed (I assume you're not meant to be able to see it as an app as it sits at a lower level).
I downloaded the CM7 ROM, so have booted up into recovery mode, have wiped/formatted as instructed but when I choose the zip file from SD card it appears to start then aborts installation...help!!!!

Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the .zip before you copied it to your SD Card? as it might is some way have got corrupted.
Here is a link to what I always use before I copy anything to my SD Card or install on my OS System:- MD5 Check 2.1.
Take Care
TheQuest
Thanks!
I'm all sorted (I think, fingers crossed).
It was principally because of the mac unzipping (Safari preferences not checked), this was the original and prime fault.
That caused me to doubt my partitions on the SD card (google is sometimes your enemy) which I altered.
So what then happened was CM7 installed but upon reboot looped continuously on the android skateboarding screen.
I finally resorted to formatting the SD Card, reapplying the CM7 zip and the google zips and so far it looks good.
Of course I (me and me alone) has stuffed up all the user data I had on the SD card. I might try to recover some photos but stuff like contacts I can regenerate no major loss there.
Thanks for replying!!
CM7 - the experience thus far
Well its 72 hours since I took the plunge!
Initially it looked odd and felt flakey, the Market refused to download 80% of the apps I tried. I resolved this (not sure if it was the right way) by going into recovery and clearing the cache 2-3 times and eventually downloaded all of my old apps.
Some apps cause frequent force-closes, I assume because they've not been updated for Gingerbread? Thats a very minor irritant, I can easily live without these apps anyway.
Battery life hasn't noticeably altered yet but I suppose I have been constantly been tinkering, playing with settings, trying wifi (seems a little less sensitive to signals) and gauging how the radio is working - I seem to get HSPDA a lot less and resort to 3G more than I previously did?
So, done it, like it despite some minor reservations - now what, is there anything else I can do to improve the experience?
I must add one thing this has shown me - I really really know very little about what goes on under the hood. Despite 20+ years experience in CIS this is a very different world and all credit to those who have developed CM7!!
Please help if you can.. please
Hello!!
I am desperately seeking some guidance. Please.
So, I used to have a HTC Inspire 4G and in June I rooted it successfully.. then installed Cyanogenmod 7 etc.. everything worked great. I unfortunately lost the phone and because of insurance got a new one.
When I rooted the first time I used the old school method that was in the XDA forum.. ADB..etc.. but today... with the new replacement..
I downloaded Advance ace hack kit 29102011 (ahhk 29102011.zip) which after reading all the stuff I thought would be just a quicker way to get rooted. I used the same PC that I used before.
This time, unfortunately I am getting a black screen, right after the HTC splash screen shows up.. it fades to black.
I can get to the "Hboot" screen but removing the battery, then restarting by holding the power and the down vol button.
Tried Factory reset.. still fades to back
Tried Recovery .. still fades to back
The device will not be recognized on my laptop when connected to USB..
Am I stuck? Do I have any options?
I should have done what I did before.. but am at a loss right now.. will you please help me.
Please.
Thanks a million in advance for your responses.

Hello
My G Pro was working fine this morning, and all of the sudden, it rebooted itself and got stuck at At&t boot logo. No matter what I do, it never gets past this point. It can boot into TWRP but that's pretty much it.
Actually, I can just follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 or use TWRP to fix the problem. However, this morning I just filmed a video which I didn't have any chance to back up, and I really want to copy it to my PC before wiping all the data on my phone.
Could anybody help me, please?
If you guys need any additional info, please let me know. Thank you much.

Try and see if this helps, reboot to recovery and in TWRP find the "mount usb" option and select it, plug your phone in to the PC and see if you can see the drive in "my computer", if you can then find your file and copy it to where you want. I do not use TWRP now, I use CWM but I used to do that all the time with my Galaxy Note without any problems.
Hope it works.
Erik
Thanks a lot for your reply. It's greatly appreciated.
I'll try to see how it goes. I'm gonna have to reflash my phone soon since I need it for work.
did u tried going to safe mode ?
holding down vol while booting?
Okay, so I may have screwed some things up... And by "may" I mean I did.
So I had rooted my Zenfone 2 and deleted some bloatware, but I guess I deleted something I shouldn't have, because my phone had a few issues with audio notifications and not ringing when I am being called.
Anyway, I was trying to find a way to flash the stock rom back onto it and start over, and this is where my problem started. I couldn't get into fastboot to go into recovery mode by using power+volume up... (I realized later that you have to keep holding the volume up button until you get to the screen... Not sure why I screwed that up...) I tried using ADB, but ADB would just NOT show my phone, no matter what I did. So what did I do? Something dumb. I downloaded the latest firmware from Asus, which was a 1.1gb file, threw it on the root directory of the phone and attempted to update.
Everything was fine and dandy until... It got stuck. It sat at the same spot on the loading bar and never moved. So now I am stuck looking at the green android bot wiggling his antennas with the words "Installing system update..." beneath him... with an stalled progress bar. I can get to Fastboot mode and select Recovery and all that, but no matter what, it reboots and goes straight to the same screen, still trying to install the system update.
So, my question is... How can I fix this?
*EDIT* After posting this, it finally installed... after 47 minutes. So if anyone has this issue, just try waiting it out for an hour... I'm not sure why it took so long.

Might have been your sd card read speed was slow. The system image is quite large, so copying all the files can be tedious.

I have a very strange problem with this device (g920p), Backstory: i got it with the screen broked so i replaced it. There was no problem until the sound stopped working. I pressed vol - and power button but it never came to life.
What i did / Result:
Hard Reset (wipe cache and data, cache partition). / Same status Softbricked
Installed custom recovery and wiped out caches dalvik. / Still Bricked
Download and installed stock ROMS: CPD2, CPB6 (6.0.1) / After the odin procedure, it reboots and then it updates system, later says "optimizing apps" and when finish the phone stucks at "Starting Apps" (for hours) and it never starts. If i reboot it, after the samsung logo it just shows blue light blinking but the screen stays black.
I have downgraded to almost all 5.1.1 ROMS / Same result as above.
I have installed almost all ROMS after wipes (with stock recovery and custom) / no sucess.
I have tried to recover it with Smart Swich but i cant get the s/n, barcodes only shows MEID but no serial.
I have left the battery die then i do all the previuos trys with no sucess, i can just get to "Android is Upgrading - starting apps" screen.
I have tried installing custom kernels after rom installs / NO luck.
Safemode does nothing.
Any clues to get my s6 back to life?
If it's the 32gb version, I recommend flashing the pit file found in the general section.

You need to make sure you are flashing the proper stuff. You can't just go throwing random sh*t at it.
This is the proper PIT for your device: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636008230
If you were to look through the thread, specifically the general section, as I mentioned, you would have found it
Flash the PIT file by selecting "PIT" inside odin and NOTHING else. Then reboot and flash the stock tar.

Thanks a lot, i did look for it and found the other one. After flashing the PIT i flashed the .tar (CPB6) and the result was the same, blackscreen with blue light dimming intermitent. This time the "optimizing apps screen" didnt show up. i havent touched the device yet, im waiting for the optimization screen to show up. Im waiting 30min if it doesnt works im gonna reboot the device and do the wipes and reboot.

Let it die completely. Once it dies attempt to boot into download mode until it wont anymore (completely dead), charge to about 15%, reboot. Should be fixed. If not retry. What happened I think is the minute reboot with no signal/baseband/imei etc., except you flashed a rom or something to try to fix it so now it appears to bootloop but really is doing the same minute automatic reboot no signal issue. I had same happen to me when i flashed a rom trying to fix it, it "bootlooped", but being the first boot taking the standard additional time it never made it to the full boot up, until letting it die, then all was good. Nothing else is needed except complete drain of battery

Thank you im gonna try this for sure. I have worked all day long with this device. and i am not giving up until it totally die or work.
UPDATE (Battery not drained yet):
I realized about some things when i flash the stock rom, after odin finish the phone shows a screen that says "updating system" a progress bar loads but only reaches to 32% then says Erasing and reboots, then just hangs at "starting apps" screen.
Same result as previous ones. Stucked at "Starting Apps". After the flash .pit file, i flash the .tar, then when finish the devices reboots and the screen shows a progress bar that reads "Installing system update" but it only reaches to 32%.
That is odd. Did the sound ever come back? Maybe it has something to do with the hardware fix. Wherever you got the replacement from were there any reviews that may indicate others having similar issues or contacting whoever u got it from? If the sound stopped working and then you reset it and etc and now its not booting fully up maybe it does some type of hardware check and reboots if and when it fails.. idk truthfully, if it were me Id go back to looking at the screen replacement
i'll try doing all the previous steps but with the original screen. i'll update the post ASAP
My g920p got exactly the same problem. It die for 2 weeks. I try every thing i can but it can't get out of "starting apps". So i place it in my desk until today i boot it up and actually, it start. Still have no sound, but when it check for update and i press update now, the "starting apps" loop show up. Have you fixed your phone yet?
Sorry for my bad English.
It looks like you really did a number on it!
Good Luck!

Samsung S6- G920P impossible to Fix
Had same problems with my G920P and nobody even replied to my cry for help....thanks guys! No really,without help i had to learn the hard way. Anyways, I flashed the Pit file then flashed a boot file, then a modem file, then last but not least the complete Home tar. Let me know if this works for you. According to my G920P it took me 48 days, and very long nights to get it back up and running. Hard bricked a Galaxy S7 in the process........next project i guess!

Hello!
I purchased a Galaxy S6 two days ago and have yet to really use it...
I wanted to have a fully fresh phone so i flashed the latest firmware available to me (USA, Sprint, sm-g920p, zerofltespr, QB1)
Everything flashed as normal (not my first S6, I'm familiar with ODIN) but upon booting up the first time it goes to a blue screen that says initializing update.. then the progress bar goes to 32% and then says erasing.. then it reboots and i get to optimizing apps (starts at some random number 8 of 33, 13of 33, 12 of 33, etc.) and then reboots and goes back to optimizing apps again... it's maddening!!!
I've tried at least 5 different firmwares, all with the same result. Always to 32% then bootloop on optimizing apps
I've tried using the PIT file for my phone along with flashing the firmwares, same result
When i try to enter recovery to wipe cache or factory reset, i get the blue screen that says initializing update then i get some yellow exclamtion warning for a second and i get to recovery... i wipe cache, reboot... same boot loop result
Back to recovery, factory reset, reboot... same boot loop result trying to optimize apps.
I've tried adb sideloading a couple different ROMS but those just bootloop at the Galaxy S6 logo splash screen.
I've run out of ideas for what to do to fix this.. every great once in awhile ill get to the welcome screen and itll get to Setting up your device for first time use... then itll just reboot and go right back to that screen... i havent been passed that once...
Please any ideas would really be great. Thanks

If you get this going, please send me (or post here via file attach) the file: /proc/last_kmsg -- you need to be rooted to get that so hopefully you are. To get this right, you need to copy that file to /sdcard (or somewhere there) and only on the first successful boot.
I want to see what is complaining so I can (hopefully) write a fix for future sufferers that won't require the reboot til dead game.
