So, I had the 2012 version and did it no problem using the Toolkit, I tried using the Unified Nexus Toolkit again and all worked well as far as installling drivers and them being recognized and yada yada.
Point is, when i get to the screen with the warranty warning and the option to select no don't unlock or yes, unlock....i select yes and it just freezes and hangs there...am i supposed to wait for a long time or is it supposed to be instantaneous like I imagine it being?
What am i doing wrong and what can i do to fix this, i searched google and keep coming up with methods of how to unlock and all that but that's not the problem....I have tried two other programs or toolkits what have you, still no success because the issue is when selecting yes and the tablet hangs

How long is it sitting there after you select unlock? I remember when I unlocked mine, it took abnormally long. It sat at "erasing data" for what felt like an eternity. In reality, it was probably like 5-10 minutes.

If I remember correctly, mine hung there first for a bit as well. I would give it like 15-30 minutes or so just to make sure there's an actual issue.
Hi Guys,
Just a point as it happened to me all morning and I was getting frustrated, check that you're not using a usb 3.0 port.
When I switched to usb 1.0, it worked perfectly.
Also, just in case, I made sure I used the cable given by asus.
Good luck hope that works for you as it did for me.
so i did get the bootloader unlocked an ungodly amount of time...literally sat there for about 30 minutes but maybe because it was erasing the games i have cause i have GTA San Andreas and GTA 3 and a handful of other games, some big some small and mad other apps so i am assuming the wipe took some time but now i can't seem to get it to install TWRP...i think i have to reinstall drivers, I know i can get things working at this point once i get the time.
Thanks guys.

Hey guys, i just got a new T-Mobile Dash and it's started acting up from day 2. Turned it on today and it doesn't work, it doesn't get past the Windows Mobile screen (from what i've seen this looks like a fairly common issue). After reading around i've tried to flash to numerous roms but only 2 of the official t-mobile roms have worked (others gave error 270, wrong vendor, wrong device, etc) but still the phone doesn't get past that screen. I've tried to do the hard-reset trick a bunch of times and still no go, any clues? Thank you.

Take out the memory card and try to boot her up. If that does not work.. call T-Mo and get a new one
To get past the error 270, download the SDA Unlock app. That should get you past the error there. As for not getting past the Windows screen, I had that problem too. You should be able to get it working by hooking it up to the charger. I found that my Dash was not reading the battery as having a charge. I am not sure if I have solved the overall problem yet but, just in case, you might avoid using the USB as a charger and go with the wall charger. Just keep it on the USB long enough to sync and unplug.
Hope that helps

do a hard reset hold da 2 soft keys and press the on button keep holdin da soft keys until u see a screen asking u do u want to do a hard reset hope dat works
Thanks for the responses guys but i've already tried all that. The only thing i haven't been able to try is do a hard reset with the wall charger plugged in, for some reason it doesn't matter how many times i do the steps it never shows me the black screen. I might be on the same boat as you because the battery i got with the phone is some cheap counterfeit chinese crap. I'll keep trying to get to the black screen with the phone plugged in but any other help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, i can't do anything with T-Mobile because this is an unlocked phone i got somewhere else and can't return it so i'm stuck trying to make it work.
Check sticky to make sure doing correctly
Hard-Reset & Bootloader there is 2 x options there.
I was doing it right.
So after a million retries i got the phone to boot and do the cold boot thing. Then, i did the usual steps for putting a newer rom with WM6.1 on it (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE). It worked, rebooted and went into the home menu, i thought i had brought it back from the dead until i inserted the sim. I got the sim failure message and when i pressed done it crashed. Now it won't go into the home menu no matter if the sim is inserted or not. Already tried to see if the sim was making good contact by putting pressure on it, no change.
This is too frustrating.
Ok so i've semi gotten it to work by booting it up without a sim, turning flight mode on, inserting the sim and then turning flight mode off. I get asked for my pin, the phone registers and i can make/receive calls. The problem is that a) it eventually loses the connection and b) i don't want to be doing this every time i turn the phone on.
Any ideas?
Hi there, this is my first post, i didnt want it to be like this but i have come to you in desperation.
I was excited about 4 hours ago to realise my phone was getting an update saying it was going to imporve battery life etc..
Well i let it do its thing while it was downloading, i went to check after an hour or so and it said the software had been corrupted or something along those lines, either way it had to start the download again.
It was about bed time when this happened so i chucked it on the charger, fell asleep, woke up and it was doing something on a kind of screen i had never seen before, black screen, obviously showing that it is processing the update(i was a little tired from waking up) i think i remember taking its time maybe longer than it should have been.
I went back to sleep woke up about an hour ago from now and checked my phone and the screen would not turn on, i think the charger cable had fallen out from the phone because it is loose and does that some times.
So i placed the cord back in and it didnt seem to respond with the red led coming up for a while then all of a sudden it worked for some reason, but was flashing. i suspected this was because the battery had been sucked dry. So after a while the led stopped flashing and i pressed the power button, sure enough it powers up straight away to the HTC - quietly brilliant screen. And thats that, end of story. It's stuck on that screen WTF?
I have been through forums like these interested in changing ROMs and so on but it all seems so complicated i never even bothered, so obviously i am a noob, but i dont think there is any reason for this to happen other than sh*t luck.
Can anyone help us out?
Your better off sending for repair unless you want to start unlocking the bootloader etc.
Reboot your phone in bootloader ( press PowerButton + Volume down at the same time) you will get to a screen with various lines, look factory reset, navigate that menu with your volume keys. Hit factory reset you should get . See if it fixes it.

Well did it work? before you say that long thanks
Thanks for your help, unfortunately, the factory reset didnt work.
What happened when i first did it, the update screen came up like the first time but still ended up freezing on the quietly brilliant screen.
I'd be willing to unlock the bootloader, i really dont want to send the phone away for a third time. Why didnt i get the Galaxy S3!?!?!
I hate to ask, can u point me to the right thread to do that, there seems to be a few but they seem to have different purposes.
Thanks again.

If you wait a day or so, the RUU will be released for your region now that the OTA has been released.
You'll be able to fully reload your phone - this is all HTC do when you send it for repairs and you can do it in a lot less time.
At the moment, HTC may even reload the 2.17 software so you may still have the problem again when trying to load the OTA.
Thanks all for your interest.
I spoke with customer support and they told me exactly what i already had done, factory reset through hboot.
After that was a no go, he told me i have to send it back to the point of sale, so they can flash the software?
Where can i find this ruu once it has been released?
I'm pretty sure the updates all say to not have the phone plugged in when updating.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
So my Gnex has been working fine since I got it (I am not sure exactly when but it was relatively soon after it came out). I unlocked it but never ended up flashing any ROM or anything. The only issue I've had with it has been that since I installed Google Drive on it about once every hour it asks me if I want it to use Gmail or Drive to perform an action without any other prompt.
Current Problem: The phone will not boot without being plugged in. However, when I do get it to turn on, it gets stuck at the Google logo screen. Something is definitely wrong at this step because a few times the word Google seemed to be popping up all around the screen and shaking around. A few other times at this step the word Google disappeared and then very slightly green stripes started rolling up the screen and slowly getting narrower.
I figure it is probably dead, and I was not able to find any other threads on this but I figure it is worth seeing if anyone else has encountered this.

Did you try using fastboot?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
that called semi-bricked.. can u boot to odin page???
or your pc just detect ur devices as omap?? i faced it twice..
galaxy nexus i9250
Title pretty much says the basics.
Details however are as follows.
SM-T210R, Have had this unit for about a year, always been in a case, never dropped, not a scratch/dent/ding on it and I use it every day.
Past couple weeks I was getting update notification from Samsung, I'd always put it off till I got home then not bother when I actually got there.
Finally, a long weekend for me.. I let the update run its course, No problems (500+MB's) And I believe it was upgrade to Kitkat from Jellybean.
Can't remember the exact version details.
Soooo, I use my tablet throughout the day everything seems to work great NO problems at all.
Notice my battery is down to like 20-25% and plug it in (Original wall charger and cable)
Go to get it the next morning, open the case expecting it to flash and display my lock/swipe screen, Nothing.. Not TOTALLY Black, you can see theres still a glow.
The screen still responds to touches ( I can swipe to unlock it and hear the sound)
I tried to reset power. Nope nothing except I can hear the startup tune.
Tried hard reset, nope same thing.
Tried every button combo I could think of or contort my hands/feet into.. Nope no joy.
Hit the internet... read, read, read, read, watch videos, watch more videos..
Ah-ha take the back off, disco battery, wait, replug and voila.
Nope.. not the issue
Different milliamp chargers, nope.
WTF??
Normally I'd think I did something to it, but I did nothing that I hadn't done at least 200 times already.
I'm convinced Samsung F'd my tablet w/their update, not only that but my $1200.00 drone sits idle over my holiday because my vision app resides on my sgt3.
Ideas?
My best solution so far...
Well its been like 2 days since my sgt3 lost its mind.
Found a solution.
EVGA - Tegra Note 7. (No hyperlinks allowed for me....Yet)
nvidia.ca/object/evga-tegra-note-tablet
DAYUMMMMM.
This thing blows my SGT3 right off the map.
Still would like to find a REAL solution, there's alot of configurations on my SGT3.
But in the meantime I think this'll keep me almost content.

Just download odin and the firmware for you country and flash it if it gets stuck at the boot get in recvory and wipe and flash once more works a treat
sounds like a bad flash i never let over the air upgrades there trouble always use a pc

Thanks Jason, I've not messed w/flashing the firmware through pc on this thing yet.
I've done it w/psp's, motherboards, routers etc, but never w/one of my tabs.
Just to confirm... I dont need a display on my tablet to flash it w/Odin?

No, you don't need the display on your Tab, you just need Kies and Odin on your PC.
Place your Tab in Downloadmode(VolDown+Home+Power,release All buttons when you see the warning, press VolUp) then choose your PDA firmware in Odin(Obtain firmware from SamMobile) an hit start. After this boot into recovery and wipe/factory reset your tab if it's not booting!
Good Luck

Hey Daniel, Thanks for the info.
I found Odin was pretty easy to flash with.
I've tried 4 different FW images for the GT3-7 and taken the unit (almost) completely apart w/the exception of removing the actual digitizer and the lcd.
Same results after each install though.
It boots, plays the boot sound, but no display.
I guess next step is removing the screen.. After that I don't know what to do except possibly getting myself a lcd replacement..
Just might drop it off to one of the local shops and get them to do it that way I won't wind up paying for something and f'ing it up.
No joy w/my sgt3..

Even went so far as to try Kies to do the last one.

This is probably nothing but today I got a bigger flash drive so I cloned it and put it on aftv. I installed some cloud games (purpose of getting more space) then moved them to USB. I reboot because I find the availability size of the drives don't change unless you do. When the aftv booted normally I ever so briefly saw "installing new software" message appear. This only happens to me when installing a new ROM or when wiping data/clear cache etc.
The message was on screen like 3 seconds. I would've missed it if I weren't looking then everything was fine. Its not possible I had updates enabled because I'm meticulous about disabling them EVERYTIME I do anything, especially if I boot to recovery (which I didn't this time) needless to say I disabled them again to be safe.
Any theories on why this happened? I'm not nearly as concerned as I am curious. I mess around with this a lot but this is the first time I've seen the updating notification without there being a reason I could identify...thanks.
Happened again. I wasn't even trying to reproduce the above, just needed a reboot. This aftv is identical to my other in every way except this is wired and I use a powered hub.

You could ignore it or you could try doing a factory reset.

If you think its not a concern, I'm comfortable with it. I factory reset every couple of months anyway so I'll get to it eventually. Thanks.
I am not rooted and it has happened to me twice in the past two hours. Within minutes of opening SPMC both time, a message appears telling me I have software updates the first time I hit the home button and it went away so I went to check for updates and it said I had none. The second time I clicked to install, but nothing happened. I have rebooted and still nothing. Not sure whats causing it, but its clear that there is not really an update. am guessin its a bug. Gonna open SPMC and see it it happens again.
