W-ZERO WS003SH Hard Reset No Start Menu - help

Hello everyone,
I am looking for help for my WS003SH. I did a hard reset yesterday after I was suddenly unable to browse anything on the device - only on the miniSD card.
So I did what some member here explained - hold the Reset button for 15 sec., then press Fn+F+PWR.
So when I started it it was all in Japanese but the Start button and clock and battery indicator etc were missing and the device Windows button doesn't work. The screen is not responding properly, only the keys work; the camera won't start either. So I don't know what to do.
I tried adding the Start Menu and Startup folders via ActiveSync but this idn't help either.
I am thinking of reflashing Windows but unsure about it all. Any help would be most apprecated!
Here's what it looks like now:
{
"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"
}

Thanks! Problem has been sorted (with your help of course).
It appears I did not properly do the hard reset - the instructions given by SOLIDGOD at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378883 were not exactly correct.
So, for anyone who might need to do a hard reset, here's how to:
1. Open back cover,
2. Remove battery - not entirely, just the connectors,
3. Press reset button,
2. Place battery back - DO NOT release reset button,
3. Hold reset button for 15 seconds,
4. Power up device -- no need to press Fn+F+PWR -- just the Power button.
In order to properly hard reset your device, whatever make it is, it needs power, which you don't have if you take out the battery. Which was what caused my problem with the missing Start menu.
So, enjoy!
Hi cheeseus
I encountered the exactly same problem as you did, and I followed your instructions step by step, but it didn't help. The start menu is still not there, Can you tell me how you solved this in detail? Thank you very much!
Problem solved with the help of Cheeseus, forgot to mention it here.

Defy Buttons Problem

Hello everyone.
I have a really wierd problem with defy's buttons (menu, home, back, search). They stoped working at all.
So for a couple months I have been having strange problems with the buttons. It looked like home button was pushed and app drawer was opening/closing really fast. Reset has helped, but temporary.
And about a week ago the buttons stoped working at all. I tried to flash another ROM (official 2.2), but it didn't help.
And now I don't know what to do. I goggled it, but there is no information about such problem.
If somebody can give an advice, please let me know.
Thanks.
Nobody ? That's sad. XDA was my last hope) Well, I guess I will sell it for parts.
try doing an sbf. if that doesn't work, then there is hardware issue.
edit: dont know if you already did..since you said you flashed an official 2.2 rom..
Don't know if this will work but it won't hurt to try

Download the files and android commander search it up. It's easier than manually using adb commands.
Connect your phone to pc and make sure usb debugging is on
In android commander navigate to system/usr/layout
Then click on push on the toolbar in android commander
Select the files you downloaded then right click on each file that you just added then click on properties
make sure each one looks like 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"
}
Maybe this will fix your buttons?
from http://android.site666.info/indextricks.htm :
home key, search button, security lock, power button options: repair them
Some phones do strange things at random: your home and search buttons stop working, your security lock won't load (leaving your data wide open), and if you hit the power button then reboot is your only option, because silent mode and flight mode are missing from the list.
There's nothing wrong with the buttons on your phone, but there's something wrong with the software that controls them.
• Fix: backup your apps and data, reset your phone to factory settings, restore your backups.
Make sure you have a full backup or two and check that the backups work before resetting your phone.

This method is basically same as the normal stock rom flashing tut, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" Prob, (Just Google that).
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Now flash ur Stock rom via odin...
Hurrahhhhh..................

Optimus G Pro- Soft Bricked After Fiddling With Applications

Soft-Bricked
UPDATE : I fixed this by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833 thanks to whoever tried helping or did some research
Okay so, I was fiddling around with some applications - user installed ones. Then The device blackscreened I though no biggie It just locked then it went into the boot animation so I waited a few mins then I realized I had softbricked my phone. Now I have a tot file, I have no recovery installed, I was about to install recovery the next day. My device specifically is the E98020h AT&T model. I was not flashing any roms of any sort I have tried flashing stock ROMs to get out of the softbrick and I am a "newbie" to flashing ROMs and Kernals. But most of the guides on here for my phone the links are dead, and the links for the pictures in the tutorials are also dead. Thanks for your time. I would appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks.
Note : I can get into download mode, I have tried Hard Factory reset I get the infamous Boot

Zenfone 2 (Z00A) No bootloader + no OS + "Broadcast tv" loop

Hi Developers.
This is my first post but I've used this forum for many devices before.
This is what happened:
Atfer update to android 6.0.1 (M), I got some "bugs" (freeze) after I tried to root the device (using this method). I failed the first time I got a bootloader loop. I googled it and found this method (same commands but adding a "fastboot splashscreen.img"), then my phone just got a blank screen loop. My next step was the xFSTK method (this one). My phone booted "normally" and then I tried to update it to 6.0.1.
After that, my phone just got stuck in ASUS logo. I tried the xFSTK method and in the middle of the Flash Tool process, I interrupted it, because it was taking so long. I tried xFSTK process again but I got a "FW+iOS failed" and the attached screen loop (like a broadcast tv).
Please... Help.
(note: I don't speak/wrtie english very well. I hope you guys understood me)

Solved, thanks to sukhwant717 for his post
And his quote:
those who are not able to keep device connected. take care of few steps
1. in xFSTK option menu change the flag override value to 0x80000807 not 0x800000807 ( don't forget to click gp value over ride)
2. while connecting to xFSTK attach usb to computer. hold power button for 20 seconds to make sure it power downs completely. then hold the power button down and click power button. wait till device vibrate or computer makes detection sound. leave power button but keep holding the volume button for few seconds
