Bricked hx2110 help

I did a rom upgrade on an hx2110 - installed successfully, but now the only thing I can get the pda to do is go into Pre bootloader mode (i.e. Pre-BL 1.00.02 blue screen). SO I tried the universal bootloader method - makes it all the way to the flashing portion but then does NOTHING - the terminal simply sits there saying "ready" and does not upload anything - the program sees the correct communication port (ie. usb01 or whatever). HOW do I force an upload???
Thanks!
Rusty

On another note - I had purchased a working 2110 with a good mobo to replace this one if the flash is not repairable - is that a difficult procedure? Unfortunately, the 2110 I purchased was not working, but this may still be in the books at a later time, so some info would help.
Thanks!

Rusty,
You are so lucky that I experienced this problem and solved it on my own. You did not specify what ROM you were loading, but here is the fix:
First you need to get another pocketpc, hx2000 series like yours that is working.
Put that device into white screen bootloader or pre-BL mode (depending on which device you got to borrow)
Ensure that the battery on that device is 100% charged.
Run the original ROM upgrade for the ROM you wish to install (use PDAViet if it's WM6 and use the HP SP32408 to Run it)
Hit all the Ok screens until it brings you to the one that has the "UPDATE" button.
Remove the working Ipaq from the cradle and place it's 100% battery in you own.
Put your Ipaq into pre-BL mode and put it on the cradle. Press the calendar button to activate the usb drivers.
Once it says "USB", Hit the "UPDATE" button and it will load the proper ROM to your IPaq.
When It is done, perform a hard reset by formatting the PS on the device.
Voila!! Your Ipaq is Un-Bricked!! Put in your original battery and charge it up!
Enjoy!!
Bless...

hi Rustmonkey,
i have the similar things - i made my hx2110 brick when i flashed it with a different language ROM, it went 100% when i flashed the ROM but didn't work at all after that.
the problem is i can get it in the bootloader mode after trying many ways, at the same time the pc can't find any USB device at all.
how to make it work again?
thanks.

You're going to need another hx2000 series to make sure the battery is fully charged - put the battery in and then use the bootloader keystrokes immediately (contacts+itask+reset) - you made need to tap reset a few times while holding the other two to get it to work. After it is in bootloader mode, push the calander button while it is connected to the cradle/usb to get the pc to recognize it

really amazing !!!!!!
I just saved my hx2110 as per your step by step instruction now.
Thank you very much.

ok, well, I thought they were fixed... now one of them freezes at the bootup screen, even when I do a clean reset... I've tried reflashing multiple times to no avail... any ideas whats going on?

ok, got everything working - reflashed the non-working one back to an original 2003 rom - which made if freeze at boot - then upgraded it via pre-bl to 1.00.00.L - from here, it wouldn't do anything after filling the bar at the boot screen, but it didn't CRASH (as in lights out) - so I ran the pre-bl again and ran the flash program for 1.00.00.L again WITHOUT swapping between the 2495 and the 2110 - just put the 2110 in pre-bl and away we went - flashed, formatted, and booted - then proceed to upgrade to WM6 via 1.00.00.H --> 1.02.00.H --> WM6 - works GREAT!!!
Thanks for the help everyone!

Dear All,
I`ve got the same problem but i don`t have a second ipaq.. is there anyway to repair it with out the second device???
Thank you very much

Hello,
I have run into some problems with a bricked hx2110.
I was flashing the IPAQ to a new ROM WM5 (Battery was full and I read all the instructions 10 times prior to flashing). While flashing, the progress bar went to 100% then faded out immediately and it wouldn't reset (clean reset). I put the battery in my friends hx3000 series and the battery I used was completely dead. It did flash to 100% though, but not matter how many times I try 1 + 3 + reset, it doesn't reboot. If I can figure out how to get it to boot, that would be great, but I can't get anything to come up with any key combinations.
To this point all I can do is get into Pre-BL mode 1.00.04. I have tried the below scenarios on two machines, both running windows XP SP2 (USB 2.0) with the firewall and virus software disabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330382&page=4
1) I have tried the above links directions and used the the Universal Bootloader (Bootloader.exe). It gets to the point where it says "The PDA should be updating now" or something similar but nothing happens. I don't get any errors regarding communications (it sees the device when I hold the "Calendar" button until it says USB; windows then recognizes the device as "HP USB ..." so I know it's communicating).
2) I tried to use the Bootloader_GUI.exe beta so that I can watch the progress indicator but it just sits at 0%. There are no error messages so it is communicating but for some reason, the device won't let it flash (and the flash utility thinks it's doing something).
3) I tried the original ROM flash from HP (SP29856.EXE) and it recognizes the device, but because the current ROM on the PDA is hosed, when it does it's "verifying" process, it comes up with "?" marks as the model number and when it goes to flash it starts at .1% then says "FINISHED" immediately. The ROM utility thinks it flashed it correctly but it didn't flash anything. I'm guessing that the verification of the PDA failed and forced the utility to not flash.
Does anyone have ANY ideas of what to try? I wish I had another HX2000 series PDA and try the "swap" thing prior to hitting the update button but I don't. All I have to work off of it my sad bricked PDA and a full battery (friend keeps charging it). His PDA is an HX3000 series.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Are you using a the HP flash program that is specified for your device?
2nd - you might be able to use your buddies device in a swap as well - not sure but its worth a shot - use HPs upgrade program, let it verify, then swap your device onto the same cable - overwrite the firmware in the update program for HIS device with firmware compatible with yours and then hit update - let us know if this works...

I am using the "official" HP flash program specific for the HX2110 (from their website - SP29856), bootloader.exe, and bootloader_gui.exe
I wanted to try my friends, but he won't let me touch his because I bricked mine lol (I swore nothing would happen to his but he still won't let me try it).
Anyway, I just copied over the ROM image (from HP) and stripped out the header (now showing 64 bytes before the ECEC). The ROM is for WM2003. I copied the ROM in binary using psdwrite.exe to an 256 MB SD card. As soon as I can get the battery back, I'm going to try to flash it from the SD card. If this fails, I am going to try to play around with MTTY / USB and manually call the ROM flash and see what happens.
Having another HX2000 series would make this easy (maybe a little TO easy )!

Bootloader never worked for me - but if you can get it to manually call the flash, more power to you good luck!

Well it was worth a shot. After spending the better part of the day with the PDA, I have made no more progress (can't get Pre-Bl to update). The only option I have now is to find someone with another hx2000 series that is willing to resurrect it from the dead for me (PM me if you can help - I will pay two way fare). Until that happens, it's going in the "broken" drawer with all my old comp stuff .
Thanks to all the tips and tricks that is posted on these forums and brighthand! There is a wealth of information on this topic and without them, I would have gotten nowhere in trying to repair the device (granted, I wouldn't have been intrigued to upgrade the ROM in the first place and would still have a working PDA, but that's besides the point ).
Best of luck to you all.

1).download original ROM from HP (sp29799) -extract files
2) download http://upload.dvhk.pl/content.php?id=88892 - replace files
3) flesh device.
bay!

link crash http://upload.dvhk.pl/content.php?id=88892 - replace files
Please it can raise it again, thanks

For Singapore user. Root + flash jme v.4 + data 3G

Hi,
Finally got my galaxy tab to work after 6 hours. Now it is running well.
As it is 4 am here, i will post a guide for Singapore users once i wake up as i have meet with problems during the whole process.
Luckily, all information can be found on this forum but just that you will have to read through 20 plus pages from different topic in order to get the answer.
Super happy with my phone now!
*just another newbie* =)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Sorry to steal your thread. Singaporean tab user here as well. I think we should constantly update this thread for singapore users. I was running dxjm4 up til this morning when i decided to flash to roto-jme. spent the last few days reading the thread and considering whether to upgrade or not because of the lack of information for singapore users. so i decided to take the plunge and just go for the upgrade no risk no gain. my tab got stucked at the samsung logo after it auto rebooted but it was fine after i manually rebooted it
what i did was to upgrade from jm4 instead full flashing my tab. it turned out fine so far but there's one thing that puzzles me. the apps that roto mentioned were removed are still in my tab such as daily briefing etc.. do u have this problem as well?

Not Too Sure... I am new to Galaxy Tab or rather Android =P
But i suggest you do a full flash again.
i wasn't ready to even root my device initially as i only gotten my Tab on Saturday 7th Jan 2011.
One thing that actually forced me to root and flash the rom is the stock version whether bug or not i just couldn't sync with my company exchange 2010, which is critical for me.
Nonetheless, i haven't tried the jme v4 as yet (I suppose) as i did not know how to get it to work.
All i did was follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
And all went well, except that Data doesn't work.
Thoughout the whole process i did not use the file name "Roto-JME-Full-v4"
which set me thinking whether did i actually do the right thing.
One thing is most of the stock app was gone, baseband was change to I9000UGJK3, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 and Build number is Froyo.XXJME.

i am new to android too and this is my first android device. your baseband is weird? I9000? which firmware did u flash???

Root devices *Important Points
And Yes i woke up...
Anyway i do not gain credit from the guide itself as everything can be found in this forum. If you want to thank people, please thank the people that writes the program and the trial & error people if you find my thread useful. I am just consolidating all the steps that i used to flash my Tab, important things to take note of and etc...
Step by step guide to Rooting:
Please read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
*Important points to Note when Rooting"
Process:
1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once - You must be damn sure Kies can connect to your phone
2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection - I found that after USB Debugging is turn off, Kies can still find your phone but it will just appear as Connecting... on the top left hand side of Kies. (I left my Kies on throughout the process)
4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe
5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins - it stated 5 - 10 min but it took like 5 - 10 sec for SuperOneClick to prompt me saying that device is rooted.
And that all for Rooting whole process took me about 5 min Including all the reading. (Simple Great Job by SuperOneClick!)
Now comes the slightly complicated part: Flashing New Roms
Below is the thread that is used
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
What i did was:
1) Download OdinV3 1.7 (Provided in the thread 895827)
2) Download Addon-JME-Modem.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
3) Download P1_add_hidden.pit (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
4) Download Roto-JME-FmtIntSD.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
Additional:
I also downloaded (But till now i have not use any of the file below)
1) Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
2) Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
Why is it not used, i myself is not too sure. For FmtIntSD alot of people is asking which is it to use as there are 2 different version 1 & 2 (i Suppose).
I have used the Version 1, as the time posted in the FTP link seem to be later than Version 2.
Also as thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827 shows in the screenshot, under tab CSC: Addon-JME-Hidden.Tar, this file is missing plus confirmation from the thread saying that it will fine without it.
Once downloaded, it is time to get to business =)
Steps i took:
1) Startup Odin
2) Connect Galaxy Tab to Kies make sure Kies is able to connect to the device and is able to Sync with device (Toggle with the USB Debugging option Either On or OFF) *My kies is never turn off from the start Rooting to Flashing* i think in order for Odin to work properly, Kies must be able to detect the device is been plugged in. (Just my Thought)
3) At this point of time Odin will also detect the device been plugged in as show in the screenshot provided in thread 895827. The yellow box will appear stating COM10 or 11 or 12 (DOesn't matter what com Number)..... Left hand bottom of ordin will also show Added!
Checked Make sure and double checked.... Yeah the next part!!!
4) Unplugged my phone from the USB
5) Off my phone
5) On my phone to get to the downloading mode (Hold Power Button and Volume Down Button)
6) Checked my Odin, Bottom left log shows REMOVED!
Hell Ya exactly the same as the sceenshot.....
7) Plugged in my phone with the Downloading screen....
8) Waited.... Waited..... 5 min pass..... Windows 7 is still searching for "Gadget Serial Port" Odin didn't detect the device connected.... don't have to worry Windows 7 will eventually find the driver, just got to give it sometime (Just in case you meet with the same problem like i did, Windows 7 took almost 10 min for the device to be ready)
9) Check Odin, Bottom left hand log.... ADDED!
Almost there.....
10) Plant in all the .Tar file as show in screenshot (Thread 895827)
*Please make sure you unzip the .rar file the logo is similar to winrar icon once you unzip. Can get a little messy, what i did was unzip and delete the original zip file that i downloaded. Remember JME-Hidden.Tar is not needed, just leave it blank*
11) Tick the "Re-partition" in Odin
Now you are all ready to start, double check all the setting and click the "Start" in Odin... =)
12) Pray.... Pray... Pray....
Whole process took me about 5 min, Odin will show you the details as it is flashing, Installing and Bla Bla Bla.... Once it is ready, Odin will prompt you either Successful or Failed...
Phone will automatically restart. Just leave it till you see the main screen comes out.
* I Succeed on my first try, so if you fail i guess you got more reading to do than me, but i am sorry that i am unable to help if you fail at this point*
Now then all good, checked my phone all seem well... did a call to my house number, Working....
Now the complication that i faced: My 3G (data Services) is NOT RUNNING!!!!
Did a search on the forum and found a few threads that is helpful:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901021
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845263&highlight=modem.bin&page=3
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273&highlight=modem_bell_i9000
* I Have attached the modem.bin that i use to get my 3G working, but before you download the attachment please do a few check as stated below.Things to check if your 3G (Data Service) is not working:
1) APNs setting
Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
2) Select the Access Point Names and see if there is any setting inside.
3) If it shows "No Setting"
4) Tab on the bottom left hand corner of your galaxy tab, "MENU" button beside the "Home" buttom
5) select "Add APN"
6) Use the information below, key in whatever is there. Those that you don't know just leave it blank. (As long as your are in Singapore i believe you know which telco you are with)
StarHub (Singapore)
APN: shwap or shwapint
Leave user/pass blank.
M1 (Singapore)
APN: sunsurf
user: 65 pass:
user123
swirlyMMS :
MMSC and Proxy server settings MMSC : http://mmsgw:8002/

MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: miworld
username:65
password:user123
SingTel (Singapore)
APN: internet
Username: 65IDEAS (or blank)
Password: IDEAS (or blank)
Once Key-in "MENU" button again and safe the setting, now go back to your APNs and check to see if you have selected the setting you key-in (Button on the right hand side will be "GREEN"
Now Wait & Pray that the logo "3G" or "H" appear on the top beside your signal strenght bar.
if no launch your dialer (Press Phone) and Dial *#2263# select "automatic" 1st option. (Select it once and exit by pressing "HOME" or "BACK")
Wait & Pray....
I believe this should get it going as under JME-Modem.zip, the modem should already be in.
__________________ I sincerely hope that you do not have to do the step below________________________________________________
If the 3G or H is still not showing after you tried the above step. Download the modem.bin (Attachment in this thread modem_bell_i9000.zip)
Then follow the step below:
1) Unzip the file
2) startup Odin
3) Browse for the Modem.bin, using Odin "Phone" Tab (File you unzip from the attachment downloaded from here)
4) off your phone and boot it up to the "DOWNLOADING SCREEN"
Checklist:
5) Re-partition is NOT tick
6) Odin detect your device
Hit "Start" and wait for your phone to reboot.
*I succeed with this flashing of modem, if you fail all i can say is good luck*
Once your phone is up, check on the APNs setting again (Key-in the details is there is nothing in the list) Check on *#2263# and set it as automatic.
Then End.....
Conclusion:
I use the exact same step for my phone, and get it going. I hope it helps you.
Again i would want to highlight that none of the above is by me, all information can be found in thread posted by other users. Please give thanks to them as they are the one doing the job, taking risk to try ROMs, Root and etc...
=) i hope my thread helps anyone with the same problem as me...
PS: DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF THE ABOVE GUIDE DOESN"T WORK FOR YOU.

Hi Kay Kiat,
I Seriously don't know. See the steps i posted, i believe it is because i flash a i9000 modem in that is why my baseband is weird. =p
i believe all i need to do is to re-flash the Jme modem in, and it should be right.
But currently at work no time to try. haha
Best Regards

Hi guys, Singapore GT user here also. Looking forward to try out your guide.
EDIT: Just flashed Roto's JME-Full-v4 with repartition. All works fine. No modem flash required.

are you talking about the keyboard?

Hi,
wanted to share my experience from flashing this Rom.
The way I've done it is download the latest full version find in the ftp site (not the archive) directory and using Odin to fladh my tab. I also downloaded all the other files but did not use them.
Overall, this rom is good. It solved my exchange problem but i've lost a few things as well. There's no more chinese input and i'm no longer able to zoom and pinch on dolphin browser. Does anubody has any solutions to these problems?
Thx.

This was solved in another thread, maybe the Roto-JME one itself. Theres a new version from Dolphin with the fix. You'll find it

The Roto-JME-Full-v4 will format the internal sdcard only if it is corrupted. So you can shorten the steps to just flashing that one firmware. The ones in the archive are there just in case we needed to test something.

APN settings
Hi
Did you guys copy down the APN settings and did you manage to get your MMS working? I only have my 3G working. Was trying out the different settings to get MMS working too.
ps: for chinese input, can just install google pinyin. been using it since Im only android. swype does have chinese input but the one on the tab doesnt have it. I was testing the beta using my hero and i can do chinese input using the swype keyboard. i wonder if there is anyway to update the swype version to the latest one released by them.

You'll need to goto Setting-Locale and text, check the Penpower Input Method. After that, at any input screen, press & hold - then select the input method.

after the small install process - press "reboot" to finalize and wait for the upgrade to take place on second screen that appear.
ISSUES
- Screen brightness cannot change (Settings crash when selected)
- Volume in status bar not included (using old A7 mod here, ill figure a solution out, maybe app from Market?)
KERNEL USED IS STOCK ROM EDITION, SINCE SOURCE IS NOT RELEASED
CHANGELOG
v1.00
- Initial release
- includes a fixed RECOVERY , which allow you to do a proper WIPE (Factory reset)
- DSP audio manager
- rotation fix for some games
- all google apps functionality with calendar and email and sync
- flash player 10.3 included (full embedded media support) , if you want to upgrade, please uninstall the old one first.
- still no "move 2 sdcard" (needs different release 2.3.6 to support it and new kernel)
- no longer uses /storage as sdcard location.
/mnt/sdcard is now internal storage,
AND
/mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk is external sdcard location.​- root enabled (Superuser is used here)
- wma/wmv media support​
THANKS to all who donated previously and up to now! its appreciated, and shows that people like the extras added...

you need to install my version, and then go back into recovery and you see recovery name is changed, and now factory reset would work fine.

the SOD issue was a well known problem of Tegra2 in its early days. problem with this tablet is that it needs a new kernel update and i do not see that one coming to solve SOD problems (from the past).
strangely the first A7 did not have it,while my Folio100 suffered badly from SOD with the early kernels.
so its known, but not being fixed i guess.
actually Nvidia wrote on their webpage that this hardware had the problem on some tablet could be awakened again by pushing out the sdcard? maybe an idea?

u have made this tablet a rel steal for me now only paid 120 cdn for it...now how can we get tablet to install to sd card?

we need a kernel, the function required for installing to sdcard (loopback device) is not compiled into the kernel. so its not working for any rom.
i made CM7 + HC3.0(from A7Comb) working, but without the function from the kernel, those are not worth using. so im holding back those for a release until a solution is found.

you can find the CyanogenModPlus edition now using link in post to download.
its beta but until a kernel is ready, we have to live with minors. as its work quite well.
remember to have embedded video working, install the CF3D plugin from Market (ChainFire 3d) and reboot, and you can see embedded video quite fine on cyanogenmod too.

Hey Dexter_nlb,
This seems to be the best rom available for this tablet - its more stable then the stock roms and offers some improvements and speed overall making it the best so far.
I just have one problem with it that you might be able to help out with:
I have just noticed that your ROM is missing the ability to change the WIFI Sleep Policy. Its set for ON by default - but cannot be turned off. This is a big problem as WIFI disconnects every time the screen turns off. It then takes over 30sec to re-connect (depending on wifi network) and any programs open that require a connection stop responding or start to force close.
I use my Tablet as a controller for my home theater and because of this I cant use this great rom. I cant use the stock rom either as The stock rom does not work with my home theater apps.
I was wondering if you could fix this easily or could show me how - EG: Build.prop string??? or other mod? - port settings.apk or wifi related libs from std rom?
I just need the WIFI to stay on.
Thanks in advance.

you might be able to download an app from Market that solves it?
Advanced WIFI LOCK (Free edition)
it might help.
otherwise only way around is going into Development settings, and chose "stay awake"?
anyways, the wifi issue is more common being a kernel issue, which in the early nvidia for these tablets had a deep sleep issue, which also killed wifi signal. its only solved by a full kernel upgrade to android 3.x (2.6.36.x or higher) which i have no good chance of doing completely.
to get better support, the CyanogenModPlus rom is getting better now, since kernel is changing with OC support and better market install support as well.
but thats probably the best this can offer for now.

[SOLVED] Rooting HDC Galaxy Note 2 Mega (MTK6577)

Hi guys!
Just recently I bought the "HDC Galaxy Note 2" off of fastcardtech. I got it a few days ago, am fairly pleased with it except for the slight miscalibrated touch screen. There are some apps on various markets aiming to fix this by re-applying new calibrations. The problem is that you'll have to be rooted in order to run them.
The phone comes with a built-in calibration setting, called "Als_ps calibration", which you can utizile to correct the sensor. Alas, it only corrects the phone's recognition of obstacles placed above it, so that you accidentaly wouldn't press any undesired button during a call.
Phone: http://www.fastcardtech.com/Galaxy-Note-2-Mega
Here's what I've done so far!
Enabled USB-debugging and installed USB-drivers. [MT65xx_USB_Driver.zip]
Tried the bin4ry root method, normal mode. [Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.zip]
This method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything works just fine until the phone reboots. Bin4ry is then unable to mount or copy the last files needed to apply root permission, see attached picture.
I have attached my specs in a screenshot, nevermind the quality, t'was done by another crap-camera! Sorry ;]
Any kind soul who can help me root this thing?
Edit:
Rooting this device has been made possible by GT35pro. See posts below.

After you have clockwork mod recovery, use it to flash the root access into the phone.

Extra Guide
Follow the link provided by GT35pro in his first post.
To everyone attempting this flash;
!! First of all, copy the Superuser.zip to the root of your internal phone memory or external SD Card.!!
* Use a high-quality mini-USB cable (The one that comes with your phone should work just fine)
* Connect your MEGA to your pc, without the battery inserted.
(This device will connect and disconnect, when it's visible, be sure to grab it and follow the next step)
* Make sure that you have the right drivers for MTK65xx preloader "mtk65xx Vcom driver" and install them through the Device Manager.
* Insert your battery again, with the cable still connected, and install the second MTK65xx preloader.
* Disconnect phone from pc and remove the battery
* Start up Smart flash Tool and select the scatter file included in the package.
* Now, select and tick the checkbox for Recovery only. Smart Flash Tool will complain about the flash, due to it not containing all the appropriate files needed for a "secure boot". Nevermind that pop-up and proceed with downloading.
* Start Download
* Insert the battery and connect your phone to your pc, with that, the flashing should start.
* Boot Phone into recovery mode (pwr button and vol - or vol +) and install superuser from ZIP-file.
* After reboot you should be rooted.

Fun Fact!
I actually managed to install a pre-rooted HDC S7100 rom on my MEGA.
The port isn't 100% accurate
-Invalid IMEI, this was fixed by Talkingmobile's guide; " how to write imei number for MTK 65XX " -Just google it!
-Auto-rotation is unavailable, no fix yet.
-Als_pl calibration is unavailable (resulting in active screen during call)
Besides that, the rom is arguably better than the MEGA's original N7100 rom, in terms of visual presentation.
Smooth transitions, vivid and vibrant colors would be a good example of aspects that would come out as improved over the original rom.
Interested in the S7100 rom? Just PM me and I'll provide the link.
Cheers!

S_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050)
I'm trying for several days, but always get this error in the flash tool: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Tried on Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x32 and Windows XP SP3 (x32). Only on the Windows XP computer I was able to make a backup with Flash Tool using the Read Back option.
When I try to flash the red bar goes to 100% then the error message shows...
Does anyone get this error aswell, and did someone manage to solve this?
Please help, I'm in desperate need for root because I need touch screen calibration.
Thnx!!

YES! SUCCES!! I managed to root my HDC Mage :laugh: Did use another method though, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 if you are interested.
Anyway, now back to calibrating the touchscreen. What tools are good do fix touchscreen issues? I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500, but I still am not satisfied.
Thnx :good:

Because I tried to order 5 different phones from China including Fastcardtech; they couldn't ship for some reason; even got an empty box from ZOPO mobile. I ended up buying the BLU here in the US, I'm kind of glad it happened, since now I have an N'vidia Tegra 4 CPU, that runs circles around the dual-core phones.
I did order one more phone on ebay from China, been waiting for 2 weeks now. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY EVEN ACTUALLY SHIP TO THE US AT ALL?
Thank to Paypal I was able to get refunded everytime.

An 80Xx error does not always mean device not connected. It can also mean there is something not right in the scatterfile (error 8038). You should take a look at the sp flash tool logfiles. You can post them here so I can have a look.

[SOLVED][HELP] WiFi not working (I tried almost everything !)

Hello everybody !
Ok, I am use to not ask any help, and to find out by myself. But I have to admit I don't have any idea remaining to solve this problem.
Let me explain you the situation :
I explain everything with details to not waste your time when you will help me !
When I first bought my Zenfone, everything worked properly. Then, I decided to flash a Custom ROM (to remove the bloatware, and to get the others optimizations). So what I did :
- I unlocked the bootloader,
- I flashed TWRP,
- I installed my custom ROM (SuperZen R15, super clean install) => at this moment, everything is working perfectly,
- I installed a custom Kernel (ProjectT, v56) by fastboot => here we are, the problem just appeared.
At this moment, the WiFi issues appear. When I boot the phone, I can turn on the WiFi (in most cases), then, WiFi just turn off. It is impossible to activate it again. In the best case, I can switch on/off the WiFi, but as soon as I download something, the WiFi just turn off immediately. Often, I just don't detect any network. In the worse case, it is impossible to activate again the WiFi, the ON/OFF button is grey.
So here is what I tried to get it back :
1) put the standard kernel with my TWRP backup => no success
2) flash another ROM (CM12, Paranoid Android, Barebone,...etc) => no success
3) flash my whole TWRP backup (system + kernel) => no success
4) flash the official Asus ROM (recovery.img, system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img) => no success
At the moment, I started thinking that maybe the WiFi just "forgot" my WPA key. So I modified the build.prop :
5) modification of the build.prop by adding the line ro.securestorage.support=false (instead of "true") => no success
6) flash the last Asus update 2.20.40... => no success.
...
I haven't any idea remaining !So I need your help ! This problem seems very standard, but I just couldn't find any solution yet !
P.S : I almost forgot. I talked about the wiFi signal, but it is exactly the same for the bluetooth signal : working on first boot, then when I use it, it just stop working and disconnect itself, and then, impossible to activate it again (grey button)
=> My last idea was to flash the radio directly by TWRP, but I didn't find any radio files for the zenfone 2...
Many thanks for your help, and thank you for reading everything !!

Try setting your phone as a wifi hotspot. If other devices are able to detect your device, it is a software issue. Or else, you might have to book an appointment with the Asus service center

You're such a genius ! I will try this evening ! Thanks a lot !

Didn't do anything. It's not working. I was thinking my wifi was just broken, but something creepy happened this morning. The Wi-Fi worked again (I downloaded one thing to be sure !) and then... My phone froze, and reboot... Is the devil inside my phone ??

SOLVED ! If someone has the same problem, just flash the stock ROM via ADB Sideload !
Step by step :
1) You go here, and download your version of the stock ROM : http://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
2) (If fastboot/adb drivers are installed) Go into your recovery (Advanced in TWRP)
3) Connect the phone to the PC, type WINDOWS + R , enter 'cmd'
4) Go into your firmware directory you just downloaded, and type : adb sideload 'thenameofthefirmwarefile'.zip
5) Wait (a loooong time), and here we go, reboot, and your phone work again.

can you tell me what firmware you used exactly? because i tried to flash the first one, from the asus page.
But it says that i have a newest build and it doesn`t lets me past trough the installing part.
I am also having troubles with my wifi and i would like to fix it

Hello ! I don't remember exactly, I went on a website and selected the right version for my country ! But my problem wasn't solve at all actually... I brought my phone to the store, and they told me my motherboard was just burnt. They changed everything, and now it works like a charm ! Be careful with the custom kernel, I'm pretty sure that's how my phone broke (I'm very careful with batteries,...etc)

Well thanks anyway. I will try to take the phone to te oficial ASUS services from my country but i don´t think they give a new one. I live in Uruguay and this cellphone is not at sale over here

Does sideloading the firmware wipe your apps? Or is every thing still there when its done?
