[Q] wildfire s(unrooted) stuck in bootloop HELP!

Hi,my wildfire s was updated from 1.66.401.1 directly to 2.13.401.3 and is now stuck in the white screen (without logo) and continues in a bootloop. Bootloader menu didn`t work. Computer, of course, doesnt see the phone I know it's because I don`t update hboot. But there is any opportunity to fix the phone?

What do you mean by 'bootloader menu didn't work'? Did you try to remove the battery and then use vol down + power ?

You don't normally get bricked when you update your firmware especially if you are s-on and with b/l locked
You should go to the htc shop and show them your phone. They should replace it or atleast repair it.

Phone is no longer under warranty There is no way to repair the phone at home? XTC Clip?

They should still honour the warranty if your not unlocked and an official update caused the problem.

I think he means the time period of the warranty is over.
Silly question but does the orange/green led come on when you connect it to the charger or computer?

Red led lights up for 10 seconds, after that phone tries to turn on, and starts blinking again.

Is HTC sync installed on your computer? If not, then install it. Because without the drivers, your computer won't recognise the phone.
Do you know how to use adb?

can you boot into fastboot??
(remove the batery re insert it again after 5 sec and then hold the volume down key and power button for mostly 5 sec)
if you can do so then download ny rom extract it and then use the adb commands..
for that you will need adb files
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?b6mk4b8p1xm5nok
download this zip .. unzip on desktop/there are three files in it if the three files are in the folder named android then remove the three files from the folder and paste the three files on dektop..
the rom you downloaded .. extract it..
and copy boot.img and system.img to desktop
when in boot loader.. the fastboot option will be highlighted select it
to select press power button..
when done connect the phone to pc. (dont forget to install htc sync, cuz you wud need drivers for the pc so that it can detect your phone..)
and then go to start menu on task bar..
select Run option..
in run option write cmd and click on ok
from now press enter after every command
Code:
cd desktop
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
now remove the cable from phone..
remove the battery and try rebooting the phone..

i dont get you

If its a softwer problem i dont see why would they demand such "high prices"(you never said how much exactly) if they have the right eqipment compleatly reviving a dead phone will cost you around 20-30 euro. If thats high for you i guess you are right. But if its a hardware problem i dont see how a dev forum would help you. I'm a noob so i wouldnt know ...

Service Center wanted to change all motherboard, and demanded $195(!!)
I found information about the device, called RiffBox($100-$150),I will use it. And in the future I will never go to such foolish service centers

[HELP]Galaxy Nexus Stuck on Google Logo bootloop

I have searched high and low for an answer to my problem for the past 5 hours. Haven't found a solution or guide on XDA or anywhere else that can help, so I am making this post as my last effort.
I bought an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus off of ebay knowing that it was stuck in a boot loop. I figured it could be fixed. I may be wrong.
I AM ON A MAC The pictures have Windows but I am running Parallels and it sucks.
--------
Ok, so here is my problem lies, when turning the device on normally I get this screen:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I get this for a few seconds, then it goes away, vibrates, and comes back ..... over and over.
I can get to both Odin mode and Fastboot:
This is no problem.
I even managed to get CWM on the phone and to come up:
My issue now is that I can't get ADB to work .. Wugs ToolKit won't work ... Galaxy Nexus ToolKit wont work ... nothing.
I can't be 100% sure that USB Debugging is enabled as I can't get past the Google Logo.
Is there anything that can be done to save this phone ... or is it a fancy paperweight?
I have an N4, I just bought this because the seller had no clue how to fix it, and it was a good deal. (not to mention I was planning to use it as a dev device for apps and such)
Thanks everyone!!!

Use the terminal on the Mac. I also have a Mac. Let me find u the files needed for adb and fast boot for macs.

Well crap .... after trying to use Fastboot (as ADB doesn't seem to want to recognize my device) I am stuck at the Google logo with the unlocked padlock.
I can still get in to CWM Recovery and Fastboot, but I am 100% lost on what to do now. I can not find a solution anywhere that works

Unfortunately so ---- Windows XP and Windows 7 both ... I may try again tomorrow : /

Ok, so here is my status now ---
Flashed stock image using Odin. Said it was completed and successful. Gave a big "PASS" message.
Rebooted phone, and watched the Google logo bootloop for 30mins.
On the plus side, my phone is now getting recognized as an ADB Interface --- but only in Fastboot. When I enter Stock Recovery or CWM Recovery, I can no longer use adb.
1 step closer, or totally effed?

Yes it does, but only in fast boot.
Other things I found:
-My battery is full. When I plug it in it shows it's charging then shows me battery life, shows full.
-When I turn it on, it gets stuck at Google screen
-When I go into fastboot my computer recognizes it, but after flashing anything to it, it just continues to be stuck on the Google start-up screen
Update since I've written this post... when I plug it in, it wont go past the 'showing that it's charging screen" I have to wait till it shows battery status before I can go into fast boot, and now it wont even do that... neat. Headed home, then i'll swap batteries and try it all again.

TAB S T805 bricked while updating to LOLLIPOP 5.0.2

Hey everyone,
I just bricked my T805. I was following this guide:
[OFFICIAL] LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 /SM-T800/ SM-T805/ Firmwares T800XXU1BOCC / DOWNLOAD / ROOT
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.

Power off does not work, no chance to power down or reset the device (have to wail 'til battery is empty?)
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?

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.

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.

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!

Actually there is nothing wrong with rooting your device. You just need to enable developer options when you get your device. As a small time developer I always do this first to see what was added or removed from there. Then you would have noticed the boot loader switch.

Anything that worked before the last update ( Nov 2015 ) doesn't work anymore, FRP has stumped a lot of users, developers, flashing geeks you name it, but if you find a solution come and post/share what worked for you.
Samsung doesn't want you messing with the phone, even if you paid for it.

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?

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.

Hello my friend

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.

Already did, thanks. Will never combine Root and OTA together again
