[Q] 'soft' brick r800x help

i ran into a unique situation with my experimental r800x... i rooted it and got CMW recovery although i have a locked bootloader. i tried installing a stock based custom rom and was successful. the only problem was i forgot to wipe my data clean which i believe is causing me to be stuck in spash screen. i have no idea if it is a hard brick or not.
the situation is unique because i can still use adb... but i cannot use adb shell, i tried booting into recovery but i am still stuck in spash screen. is there a way to fix this problem? thank god i did not do this on my brand new xperia =P

ok ill give it a shot, i messed with flashtool a little but had little to do for me since most of the things i explored required fastboot.
UPDATE: ok i figured out that i was supposed to put the ftf files in the firmware folder... is say 'preparing files for flashing'... but the loading bar has not moved for a few minutes now...
UPDATE x 2: its flashing, it turns out i needed to install drivers for my phone to be recognized. the stepping stone helped a lot man thanks!

HELP!!!
Hello,
I'm sure that i have messed up my R800x. It is stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo when i try to boot it. This happened when I tried to flash my first ROM. It was a UK firmware for R800x(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263183&page=6). I tried to get the hardware keys to work, but failed miserably, and here I am. Can anyone try to help? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Skelutton

[GUIDE] [Huawei Ascend G300] Unlock bootloader and gain root access.

Welcome all Huawei Acend G300 users, this is a full guide prepared by me which will help you unlock your bootloader and not only that but it will help you gain root access for system modifications and root required applications.

Keep in mind, this method is not confirmed working if you're running android 2.3.x [ Gingerbread ]. So do not use this if you're running it. Also dual sim ones aren't supported from what I see it tempers with the phone, I haven't tested it but many have reported it doesn't work on dual sims.
Lets get started shall we? Firstly I have gathered up some useful resources that will help you get started. Make sure you read this guide first, from top to bottom. Then continue. As you must have a clear understanding on what you are going to attempt. If you have any queries don't hesitate to ask on the thread itself.

I have performed these exact steps and have successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone. So if you're worried. Don't be. After attempting this I haven't noticed any issues either.
Okay, first of all you will need to download Unlockbootloader ---> View attachment unlockbootloader.zip
Once you have downloaded the said .zip extract the .exe file inside the .zip to your desktop.
Continue by turning on USB debugging on your G300. if its already switched on then skip the part below..
Go into Settings>Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging option.
Once its switched on, plug your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
So far you've downloaded Unlockbootloader, have switched USB debugging on, and your phone is connected to your PC.
Now run the .exe file you have just extracted. Click "Root" and let it do everything, it will prompt up with a few warnings saying don't use your keyboard because CMD is running.
Once the setup finishes, your phone should be rooted.
Head into the app drawer, and if you see "SuperUser" you're now officially rooted.
Reboot your phone to finalize the rooting and exploits.
Ok, now for the bootloader.
Once your phone is on, and connected again to the PC with debugging mode on, run the .exe file again and this time click "Unlock BootLoader".
Wait for it to do its job, once done reboot again and you now have a Stock Rooted and Bootloader unlocked ICS phone.

Hi, assuming you have installed the g300 adb drivers, once the device is hanging on the boot logo and you connect the usb cable. You need to wait for windows to fully the load the adb driver before you use the unlockbootloader.exe program.

What you have to do is,turn on debug, then power off device fully by pulling off battery then putting it back in, now you must power on by golding the volume down button and power button at the same time, this should get it to be stuck on the huawei logo screen, now plug in your USB cable and wait for you PC to detect the phone and it should automatically install the devices driver's, one its done the now open the folder and run .BAT files, If you are experiencing problems here's a link for another guide : View

Hi,
After the "Unlock BootLoader", my phone doesn't boot. When the logo appears it stars to reboot again and never goes beyond that.
Any ideas ? Have I killed it ?

Turn ur phone completely off. By pulling out battery then apply the battery again.
Now hold volume down and power button and it should be in boot loader mode. If ur logo is stuck well this is in boot loader if not and it continues well.. idk

Hello krishneelg3,
I have tried a method on http://huaweig300.com but I'm stuck with the problem.
Installing USB drivers/Root/Backup IMEI went OK. Then by mistake I skipped the Step on page 5. Check Baseband and kept continued by Bootloader & ClockworkMod all went OK until the step 10. On page 6. After executing BootloaderG300.exe the phone rebooting cyclically, My operator screen appear for a approximately one second and the phone restarts again. How to resolve the problem and is there any hope to return to official ROM?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

What was ur baseband and were u running gingerbread?
If u r on official ics then this guide is for u, if not notify me.
PS : If you are running Gb I refer you to look into this guide, as long as your phone can boot into bootloader your fine, and I'm sure it will boot into Bloader mode : http://www.modaco.com/topic/353386-how-to-root-your-huawei-ascend-g300-for-windows-mac-and-linux/

Thanks krishneelg3,
my baseband is 109808, and I'm running GB.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm in a Bootloader mode when I see a pink screen?
When I press VOLUME DOWN + POWER it starts same as when I press POWER, first logoo (in my case picture of my operator) it lasts for about few seconds, then phone reboots and start doing it cyclically.
The other thing is that, when I press VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP + POWER, it then turns into a pink screen.
In that state (pink screen), when I plug in my phone to my PC, PC recognize my phone without reading sd card or internall memory.
So what should I do?
Thanks man, really appreciate it!

Guys,
I solved the problem.
I've just followed the instructions in step 5. on the site http://huaweig300.com and put a new update.app (1 KB) and copy it to the dload. After that I've used main dload (ICS folder, aprox abot 600 MB) and everything updated and installed successfully.
Thanks.
p.s. if anyone has or had the same problem, do not hesitate to ask.

hi all
sorry to hijack the thread
I have just got my son an ascend 300 which is locked to vodafone
its on android 2.3.6
the build number is
u881v100r001c02b892
i have a download of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 which is the ICS but i dont think that will work for my build
ideally i want ICS but dont mind too much waiting.
but i do want to be able to get of all the bloatware.
I guess i need to root to do this.
the link to the modaco site is down and it seems this is for those lucky enough to be on ICS
would i be better off upgrading to ICS then following the method above or would i be better finding a method to root under gb (If so where)
many thanks

OK get the official pics update b927* must be that build.
After its done downloading, extract its contents to your memorycard of the phone.
Make sure the update.app is in the root of SD card .
Then power off phone, remove battery re apply battery and hold the three buttons "volume up, volume down and the power button" until a screen pops up it will then install the stock ics once its done it'll reboot twice.
If only one it doesnt matter.
Setup the phone. Now to install b934 or newer versions use cwm for dazzozos repacks or the update force method. But I advice u to look for help on modaco. Thanks.
Modaco name : krishang3

Thanks for that by b927* you are referring to a different version of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
where would i be able to get this from?
so this would give me the stock ics
what is the advantage of then installing HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
Thanks

Your on gingerbread so your baseband Is 109808 and if u flash any b934+ stock using the combinations say goodbye to your phone. I did that to my brothers and it bricked.
So to get to ice you must install b927 version of ics then your baseband will change to the new one *2030* now you can flash any b934+ stocks because you now have the new baseband.
Go to modaco and enter the G300 forums and look at the first dew pages all the info and guides you need. Procedure is simple.

Stuck in boot loop since flashing ROM

Hi
Really need some advice here. After (successfully) flashing ROMs on my HTC Desire and a couple of LG / Samsung units, I decided I was fed up with the stock ICS ROM on my Arc S so found one I liked called Jelly Sandwich v6.2.
So, I rooted, no probs, unlocked the bootloader, no probs. Installed CWM and did a nandroid backup to my SD card. So far, so good.
I then used CWM to install the JS ROM and the phone is now stuck on the SONY screen, presumably the boot is looping and I have to pull the battery to shut it back down.
I can't get it into recovery, tried every combination of buttons I can think of. I can get it into fastboot by holding the menu button and inserting the USB cable and if I do a CMD line fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version I get the expected response, but if I try adb shell I get 'device not found'.
I am rubbish at best with command line stuff but I think this is my only way forward.
Have tried flashtool and I get the phone into Flashmode but it finishes with an error.... 04/048/2012 00:48:51 - INFO - Ending flash session
04/048/2012 00:48:51 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed".
Have also tried SuS and that fails with an error along the lines of "The phone has got modified software that cannot be upgraded" or similar.
Anyone tell me specifically what to try? and exactly what I need to be doing with commands etc.
Would appreciate any help no matter how small

Use the Flashtool instead of SEUS.

SORTED!!!
ok I sorted this eventually.
Tried everything I could think of and more besides (went through 100s of threads on here and elsewhere).
Eventually I went to wontanserver.com after seeing it recommended on a thread but it didn't work (forget the error but basically it wouldn't flash).
Then the battery died, left it on charge overnight but it was still dead so really thought that it was a hard brick.
Anyway, this morning, still very blearey eyed, I booted it into fastboot with usb connected and then the wotan tool didn't even recognise the phone, so used Flashtool to connect and the only command that would work was "Rebbot into fastboot mode (via Fastboot)"
Did that and the wotan flash tool started working, unpacking and flashing merrily along and a few minutes later the phone is back from the brink of almost certain death.
Don't know if my blurb will help anyone else, but it at least shows you should never give up :victory:

Help fix my cousins boot loop

I don't normally ask for advice as generally I don't run into issues rooting my phones or I solve them myself but I'm a little stuck here.
My cousin tried to root his one x using the method on onexroot.
He got to stage 41 but said he could not enter storage mode due to a sense update that apparently blocks him. This left him stuck rooting but he did unlock the bootloader.
At this point he thought it a good idea to try another method on theunlockr.
This time he got to step 7a, clicks the batch file and a cmd window pops up and gets to a point and freezing. Forgive my memory but I believe it said something about daemon. The process was left for 30 minutes with no progress on several occasions.
Afterwards the phone now does not boot past the HTC logo but will go into bootloader. I can't tell 100% what's gone on as I wasn't there but I take it there was an issue flashing his boot.img file.
The question is what is the best way of proceeding unbricking his phone. I have looked up several ways but all seem to reference a point where cwm has already been installed. Is there a way to sort this out using fastboot alone? If so does it matter where I download the fast boot files from and what commands shall I use.
Apologies for the length. I'm not into rooting htc's much and not really sure what I should be doing with this. Give me a nexus to root any day lol. Thanks for your help.

delete HTCSync (manager) completely
download this driver and install it
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rq4yxhn2q50l4v0/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
then you open a command window inside the fastboot folder and you put the phone in the bootloader.....then type
fastboot devices
serial pops up ? yes....continue with what you wanted to do.....
Make sure you use the original HTC USB cable and USB 2.0 ports. No USB 3.0 ports.....fastboot has trouble with that....
Maybe this helps !

Before trying the above, ive made a little bit of headway but im still bootlooping.
I downloaded CM10 nightly ROM and One X all in one toolkit. I used the toolkit to flash the kernel with the boot.img from the CM10 ROM then push CWM to the phone which i can now get into. I also installed the rom fine etc but rebooting the phone stil results in bootloop

Flash this boot.img and try again

I should also add that i cannot use those drivers you linked to (i have already tried) as i run windows 8 64 bit

Ah oke .....but flashing a kernel works now or do you need anything else ?

[Q] Custom Kernel Flashing ends with black screen , Arc S

Hi everyone,
I really like my arc s and I don't want to change it if it does not fail. However, I decided try new ROMS just to make my device a bit different with improved performance.
I checked several of threads and read them carefully. I have already finished these steps (I hope I managed to do properly) :good:
=unlocked boot loader
=rooted with a software called eroot
=installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2
As much I understand everything is ready.
So I have downloaded a 4.2 JB custom ROM. I put the zip files to my SD card and also extracted boot.img file to my desktop. By using Flashtool, I flashed it. After that, I rebooted the device to enter CWM mod to be able to load the ROM and googleapps. However, I only get BLACK screen everytime. (I press volume down and power button) .
I followed 3-4 different techniques and different kernels and roms but everytime the result is black unresponsive secreen, I only get small vibration and than black screen forever. Thankfully, I manage to save the device but loading LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf with flashtool flash mode. However, I really want a shiny 4.2 in my mobile .
By the way, about my phone : android 4.0.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
I don't know what I am doing wrong with flashing kernel...
Please share your experiences...
Regards
Onur

Hi again,

What is the kernel logo that pops up, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

At least I have identified the problem, I guess
At first I didn't consider that as a problem but I think the reason of this kernel flashing problem is an issue about internal memory of the device. While flashing the kernel with flashtool, an error occurs "1 bad blocks encountered" (check the attachment pls), I did a quick search on the forum as well as Mr Google however the outcome is a bit devastating unfortunately. I think it is impossible to solve the problem. Still, I will be really appreciated if someone shares his/her solution for this problem.
Otherwise, I m kindly asking for ROM suggestions to upgrde my arc s (4.0.4 with kernel 2.6.32.9) without flashing a custom kernel.
Many thanks...
