Hello, yesterday I rooted 1st time my DHD with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
everything went perfect etc after that I downloaded ROM 'TashakBate' 200mb~
after that my DHD went crazy :< and now I can't do anything I cant even unlock it
so any ideas what can I do?
If there was already post like this sorry I couldn't find it.

Hi there,
Okay the process you linked (assuming it went well) should have provided you with a rooted device with S-OFF.
Have you tried rebooting the phone into recovery? Did you download your ROM via ROM manager? At what point did your phone start "going crazy"?
As much information about the issue as possible will help us to help you

please post the things that you tried before posting...
and well... it seems that something went badly when flashed it....
try to re-flash but Do fullwipe (fact.reset, data caché, and dalvik before flash,and after do battery wipe)
in adition... you revised the "buglist" of this ROM?maybe there´s something that provokes it.....

As I said everything was just perfect before this "tasha~" I installed other rom which was working excellent. When I installed this tasha I cant even unlock it
which means I dont have acces to menu etc , All what I got is many erros like
"process com.htc.bg was close", "process com.android.phone was close", "Application HTC sense~" And yes I downloaded it Via ROM Manager

then you should to put this file into the root of sd-card... repeat not in any folder...
later... when you pasted it into sd (with a card reader, or with another device)... put the sd into your device again, reboot again into bootloader, enter in fastboot and wait for an automatic installation of this file...
(later press my thanks button and enjoy again of your new DHD lol)

remember... after flashing pd98img file you are going to adquire the 1.32 oficial version of android 2.2 (the older) for flash another rom you know that you must to root again, and install THE RECOVERY for issues like this...

My Xperia Arc wont boot up, need help!!!!

Hey, I'm new here. I have a Sony ericsson arc that is rooted and unlocked bootloader. I downloaded a room that I installed via recorvery mode. I did just like how it was done, but I think something went wrong.
I turned on my cell phone after the installation but the phone will not turn on. The only thing that shows up is the Sony Ericcson logo. The mobile phone will not charge, and when I insert the USB cable that comes up the logo. If not turned off the phone unless I take out the battery. I do not know what to do.
I think I have to flash the firmware oginale, but do not know where I can find it and I'm really not sure. Appreciate all the comments that will help me and my Xperia arc. Sorry for my bad english!

Do you know the name of the rom?
It might be helpful to myself and other users if you tell us the name of the rom, if it was a "CM7" "CM9" or "CM10" rom, you will need to flash a different kernel for it to boot. There are also other methods of fixing it, such as flashing an ftf in flashtool, or a different rom.
First, tell us the name of the rom, and I will try to help more from there
Hope I can help!

Actully, i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657848 !!

Your problem is probably your kernel, you may have tried to use an ICS ROM with a GingerBread Kernel
Do a search on "ArcKnight Kernel" I recommend it
I'll help you some more when I get on my computer tomorrow if you need it

I tried searching the ArcKnight Kernel but can not find where my problem can be solved by ArcKnight Kernel .. + I will not do anything stupid, because I'm not too familiar with rooms, kernel, etc..
I would rather wait for a response from you in the morning, and still looking for solution ..
Thanks.

HI,
You have to flash the Arcknight or stock(ICS 4.0.4) kernel first using flashtool (trhough fastboot==>install kernel), after that you can install your chosed Room like that one in your post, because you may made mistake installing the Room with a wrong Kernel, it's happened to most of pepeole, like me

How to flash a kernel
What kupuku says is correct
HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL
STEP 1 - Picking a kernel:
Download the kernel you want to use, as I said, I recommend "ArcKnight" you can download this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24807655&postcount=2
The files you need to get are
Main Kernel OverClocked CPU - ArcKnight Kernel_RC_3.5.1_OC_TEST
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
Wifi and Zram Modules for Kernel - ArcKnight_Kernel_RC_3.5.1_Wifi_Module
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 2 - A program that will help:
I find the easiest way to flash a new kernel is to use this program called QuikIMG
Which you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23714241&postcount=1
STEP 3 - How to setup QuikIMG:
So you have the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
and you have "QuikIMG" EXTRACTED
1)Go to the folder where you extracted QuikIMG to and open the folder called "images":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Drag the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img" into the folder called images - so it looks like this:
3) Go back to the QuikIMG folder and open up QuikIMG and select "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
4) You will then need to connect your phone in "Fastboot mode"
To do this you need to:
1) Connect your usb to the computer but NOT the phone
2) Turn your phone off
3) Hold down the menu button (the one on the right at the bottom)
4) Connect your usb cable to the phone
5) There should be a blue light on the side of your phone, this is when you know it is connected and QuikIMG should look like this:
5) If QuikIMG says "Connected" all that is left to do is to press "Flash" and then remove the cable and turn your phone on
EXTRA:
If your WiFi does not work when you turn your phone on, you will need to flash the zip file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip"
You do this by putting the "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip" on your SD card and using recovery to flash it
Hope this helps somehow! any other questions on anything, let me know!

Good evening!
I did like you said, but but the flashing failed because it says that my phone is not rooted!
Im pretty sure that my phone was rooted, i used Titanium backup, superuser.. I could use apps which requied rooted phone!
Thanks for any kind of solusion!

Did QuikIMG display your phone as "Connected" ?

Yes, it says that its connected! Shold the partition of flash be on ''boot''? becase it is on boot.

Yes it should be on boot, don't ever change that
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
What does QuikIMG say, can you copy and paste the text?
Also try different usb ports and restarting your computer

Flashing, please wait...
sending 'boot' (5606 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Done. Please check log for errors.
I dont have any other USB ports, but i will try to restart my computer.. It has been on in like over 24 hours xD
I tried flashing after restaring my computer, but didn't make any changes.. same problem

That is an error that occurs from not having an unlocked bootloader
If you want to unlock your bootloader then there are a few ways you can do it
I personally used these instructions
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But there are other ways to, but it is your decision on if you unlock it and how you unlock it
I personally recommend you do unlock it however to get full access to all ROMs for the Arc S

Finally made it
yes! I managed to fix the problem in the end! I downloaded the original firmware to Xperia arc (LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf) and flashed it using the program flash tool 9 The phone is now my life again, and that's all I care about!
Of course, I lost all my apps, contact and everything but the phone will survive and that is what I care most about!
I appreciate all the answers that have come to help me, and I hope people who have the same problem with help from this post.
A big thanks to Jack who has used his time to help me and others who are in the same situation I was in. Thank you, everyone!

That was the final thing I was gonna try haha, glad you got it working and it's not a bother, glad I could offer some help

This is the one I have used the last 5 times under a variety of messed up situations and it always works. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND TAKE YOUR TIME. It seems like a lot to do but it is not that bad after the first time you have all the files. Make a "Phone" folder on your computer and put all the files in there and keep everything nice and tidy. Follow the instructions and it will fix just about everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
P.S. When you get everything downloaded and unzipped..and you start flash tools with a # you found on the internet..maybe something like 39B0-IH19-4UAO-G6T8. you have checked manual mode on flash tools and put in the file locations in the top two slots, and you finally hit the yellow arrow at the top left....it will say "waiting" for about a minute. THIS IS NOT waiting on you to plug phone in!! You plug phone in when it says ready and that window with "waiting" goes away. Do not unplug the phone either just because it reboots. You need to wait until the bar turns blue and it says complete. This happens around 522 seconds or after.

this just saved my phone from being stuck on recovery! thanks!

I wonder if anyone has solved the battery issue with this method ????
Many users report that while using this method all goes well till around 45% complete and they get a message "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge phone fully and try again".
This despite the phone being fully charged.
A very common problem it seems.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/samsung-lollipop-range-tab-s-t3021612
Installing Lollipop Firmware
Instructions:
1. Download the needed firmware from above.
2. Download Odin_3.10.0 from the attached file below
3. Open Odin, select AP and than select your firmware.
4. Make sure you have installed all samsung drivers
5. Shut down your Tab S.
6. Open download mode by holding volume down, home button and power button.
7. Connect it to your PC.
8. LEAVE EVERY THING AS IT IS IN ODIN, OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE A CATASTROPHE (If you select something wrong.)
9. When your tablet is connected, there will be a blue box in odin.
10. Hit start and wait
11. It will reboot and you will get the latest firmware from samsung.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I was in Download mode, klicked on Start in ODIN.

Anyone knows what to do?
Thanks!

Got ya, it must be a bug with Tapatalk. It looks like you did everything right, I followed those same instructions to flash my SM-T700 and I had no issues. I'm sorry about the brick, I've done it once and it's upsetting for sure.
Edit- Did you make sure you had all the drivers installed correctly and the PC detected and installed everything?

Dang, I missed that part. Ok so, that is the deal, but how do I reboot the device? It's stuck in Download Mode since yesterday evening. Any Idea on this?

Restart with the download mode 3 button combo then flash the UAE firmware.

You're almost there, you have nothing more to do than boot to stock recovery then wipe the cache.
The tablet will then successfully boot to lollipop.
POWER +VOL DOWN + HOME to restart then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

For reboot you can also press and hold a few seconds only 2 buttons HOME and VOL-

Ok I finally managed to get into download mode again. So i'm in Odin Mode. But please, can you explain why I should flash the UAE version?

I can't boot to stock recovery. I only managed to get into download mode. Recovery is not working.

UAE as it flashes nicely it's got the highest change list and it's clean - no bloat. I flashed it earlier today.

UAE is the country code for United Arabian Kingdoms, but I have a german device. Well it's not going to be worse than it is, so i will give it a try. Thanks, I will report back.

All you have to do is flash one.

I live in the UK, the firmware region makes little difference apart from that it can determine the bloatware you get. You will get offered the next OTA from the region you are in: but you can always manually flash any newer ROM.

Thank you very much all. I got it working, POWER+VOLDOWN to resrart, instantly HOME+VOLDOWN+POWER to switch to Download Mode. Connecting to PC, flashed UAE version with ODIN. TAB runs good now! Apps and Data were not cleared/wiped.
Thanks again!

Rooted Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo after OTA Update

Hi there,
The phone is rooted.
I've proceeded with the latest update today (~12mb size), don't remember the exact version.
It said it fixes some system bugs, etc.
After the update installed the phone won't load, stucks on the changing color logo.
Cannot access the recovery mode option in the boot menu (Vol+Power), says "no command", if press and hold Vol+ and Power again the phone restarts and enter the boot logo again.
Has anyone ideas how this can be fixed?

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/boot-loop-ota-upgrade-t3246203.
Post #16 describes how get into recovery from the 'no command' screen, and my post #12 describes how I managed to get it flashed using the SP Flashtool.
(Note my point no,5 - all I needed to do is press 'Download' first, THEN attach the powered off phone.)
Good luck!

Thanks a lot fot pointing this out.
Managed to get the recovery options menu.
However wiping the cache didn't help.
After doing the "root integrity check" got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
do you think this can be fixed w/o reflashing an entire rom?

Oooh. Brighter minds than mine might correct me, but I think the bootloop is only fixed with a ROM flash

Actually, what you need to do is format the data partition or write the empty data.img file over the data partition which in effect does the same thing. And the later one is also what happens when your download entire rom using sp flash.

I've proceeded with "wipe data/factory reset" option - no effect...or are we talking about different things?

In that case you probably need to flash the system.img and maybe even the boot.img from the latest rom. Elephone really should stop sending out these broken OTAs...

You belive this b***** that feed you on official forum? OTA should work on any device software config.

I didn't read official forum. However you do loose your warranty if device is rooted, thus the device manufacturer owes you nothing. OTA worked fine before I rooted my device.
Btw, I got my phone back to life by re-flashing the entire ROM, just in case.

The only thing you need to do is reinstall the añl the system with spflashtool. Never and remember never you can update any android with a ota if you are a rooted user.
If you speak spanish you can search in the youtube channel AndroidMxL to ser how you can reinstall the original ROM on your android.
