I am flashing my brothers DHD (I have a Desire) from LeeDroid to Android Rev, but I seriously cannot remember how I got into recovery to do it? As standard, I have tried booting holding volume down as you would with the Desire, but it just boots normally.
Now I remember this happening before and I had to disable "fastboot" under settings > applications... but this option is no longer in the settings menu!
I figure I have to do this:
Clear partition/cache
Run SuperWipe
Install ROM
Install NoSense
Install Radio
But, how do I get started on this process. I just cannot get into recovery mode! Halp!?
Fastboot is now under Settings > Power.
Disable it then power off, hold down volume and power on.
Or if you've got ROM Manager installed, open it and select 'Reboot into Recovery".

Strange... I managed to get into recovery randomly after unplugging the battery a few times when the phone wouldn't turn on at all! Anyway, good to know that Fastboot moved, it's weird, I googled and googled, but couldn't find anything!
I managed to install Android Revolution and NoSense which works great. Now to get Radio installed.
Ok so long story short, I accidentally wiped the system when in recovery and now my phone only boots to the google logo and hangs. I cant get into boot loader because it seems the volume up button doesnt work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can my phone back up and running or is it just shot at this point?
You hold both volume buttons down to get into fastboot.
adb
I cant hold the volume up button for anything, it doesnt work anymore.

yes
right now im using the nexus root toolkit, flash stock/unroot because of softbrick, to see if that works then i can reflash.
the whole reason this nightmare started is because i flashed to team oes nightlies rom and there was no google play store lol. i let gooim update and it kept looping saying android cant start, so i figured id clear the cache and oops pushed the wrong button
If you can use USB debugging adb reboot bootloader should do the trick

thanks I'll try that if this doesnt work. I do have another question, Im trying to get my kyocera jax info onto my nexus, ya ya ya I know "obama phone", but the way I see it is Im in wifi at work and home so the only time I need an actual service is when Im driving or out because the rest of the time I can use google voice which = 0 bill . so what all info is needed just to get talk and text mms working?
Fix that volume up key, its your best shot. That should be your main concern.
Sent from my i9250
1. Connect your phone to your computer
2. Type "adb wait-for-device reboot recovery" at your command prompt/terminal(at your computer)
3. Flash your ROM
4. Done
If you don't have a backup of your ROM at your internal sdcard, then either mount it at recovery, and if the mounting fails, use this:
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom)
And, get the volume button fixed, you won't always be with your computer when trouble passes by

I've recently did a hard reset to my Nokia X, I've done some googling and couldn't find a solution for this.
Even thought my SIM card is correctly mounted, when I boot my phone it doesn't show up. When I try to go into settings>>Phone>> Dual SIM it shows up this error "Can't do this com.android.phone at the moment" (I know it sounds weird but that's what it says)
I've already tried looking for a phone/dialer application running and clean it's cache but nothing is there, I've also looked in /data and there isn't a com.android.phone.
I am missing the Phone and the People applications as well. any solution?

I would recommend you to flash the stock ROM once again using the Nokia care suite. Maybe when you did hard reset, it didn't complete properly. The reason you get that error is because you are missing phone.apk

could you tell me how to do it using Nokia X flasher?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its way simpler to use. Follow these steps.
1. Just boot your phone in fastboot mode or download mode. To do that switch off your phone. Press Volume down + Power button. Once your phone vibrates take your finger from the power button. Keep pressing volume down for around 10 seconds.
2. Now connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable. Make sure that Nokia X flasher is running.
3. It will detect your phone. Now select your system.img and boot.img files, from your stock rom.
4. Click Start Flashing and voila, your phone is flashed.
Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert
Same. I tried using the official instructions to flash the stock rom but the SP flash tool stops responding after download button is pressed

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%
When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.
AL 6677 - ELEPHONE MUST BE TURN-OFF !!!!!!! and CONNECT USB CABLE REPEATEDLY !!!
After that everything goes according to instructions

In order to uninstall EI Loader, install first root (superSU), then install ccleaner and you can uninstall EI Loader (In system app)
Hi there, sorry for the revival !
But i got the same problem: OTA update, fail, P8000 blocked on boot screen.
I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:
Fix - Recovery Mode

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
hi every one i have a problem with my phone xz2c ... when i want it reboot he shut down and wont wake up untill i put it in charge and the same thing when i shut it down wont power on even i try all key power key +down or +up wont power on like i said untill i put it in charge :crying: :crying:
BUT when i reboot it with fasboot command (fastboot reboot) he reboot
i do a full wipe and fresh flash with flashtool and newflasher nothing help :crying: :crying: :crying:
my device still on stock firmware and not unlocked bootloader so any help for that???? and thank you....sorry for my bad english
Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem and experience with my XZ2C with locked bootloader and latest PIE fw *. 163. I did not notice that before.
I also did not find anything, what could help. I wiped and reflashed phone, it was useless and waste of time.
I also noticed, that I'm not able to start the phone when connected to PC, it starts directly in flash mode (same as POWER + vol Down). And there is no graphics in this mode also... I think, I had to select something in the 'menu' with blue (?) background to be able to flash ROM previously...
Another 'great' update from Sony?
I hope they will fix it in next (bootloader) update.
