[Q] Did I also brick my phone? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tired to install twrp, but something went wrong and now my screen doesnt turn on. However when I connect it to the PC it dings and shows up as a modem. imgur..com/UuNaZV2 remove a dot and link should work, I dont have ten post so xda wont let me post outside links yet.

I think i know how you hardbricked your G3
Its because you wrote the G2 versions of the android bootloader, kernel and download mode partition
Its because of these commands below. It would have copied these partitions to your phone and then written them to your device
adb.exe push aboot.img /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
adb.exe push laf.img /data/local/tmp/laf.img
adb.exe push boot.img /data/local/tmp/boot.img
adb.exe push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
You can follow this guide instead with the D855 TOT+DLL but im doubtful it will work. This methods seems to be hit and miss http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772199
If it also wrote the System Bootlooder your phone would have automatically kicked into QHUSB_DLOAD and that is alot easier to fix than this

[Q] [q] G2 stuck and cant flash anything

I had recovery 2.5.1.3 and i flash the first rom available that had gingerbread in it and i upgraded my recovery to 3.0.0.0 via terminal emulator and then i tryed to flash a more recent gingerbread rom and now i get stuck at the slash screen and cant use adb to downgrade my recovery to fix it that way .
Any suggestions to a fix?
Problem solved i managed to use how to unroot your g2 PC10IMG.zip file and it put shiped h boot and s on and restore everything to stock
and cause me to perm root my fone again

You need andriod to boot to use ADB,
You dont need andriod to boot to use fastboot, you can enter fastboot from recovery.
I never even installed adb while my phone was working i always used other android apps to bypass the need for it

Oh, well I dont think I know of any other way, so you push recovery from terminal emulator and now you cant get to terminal emulator, right?
The only thing I can think of is get AndriodSDK up and running so you can flash from fastboot.
Hopefully someone else has some other ideas, good luck.

That sucks bro, well I hope someone has a way around this for you, I know that Ive been keeping up with both of the CM7 threads and there were lots of warnings ( even from Cyanogen himself) to people about flashing unstable builds, Im pretty familiar with all this stuff, using ADB, fastboot etc. and even then Im still leary about flashing CM7.0 rc0. I dont feel like beta testing with my $500 phone, I know none of this helps you right now but maybe it will help someone else before they flash things without knowing how to use AndridoSDK, ADB etc.
Good Luck, keep searching maybe something else will come up.

Won't something like this work on that device, of course downloading the correct HTC One M8 equivalent files?

Yeah.
I can recall also reading something some time ago about making your SD Card(External) the bootable one and then fixing the "internal" from there but I'm not sure if that will even work either, was for another device as well.
I don't think a lot of developers/"hackers" on here sat down trying to figure out solutions to a problem that isn't so frequent on this device. I mean, who would flash a LG "anything" on an HTC...
Just wondered if it might work out seeing as it at least "detects" that much from the phone. It's a type of Qualcomm recovery mode isn't it, QHUSB-etc etc
Figured that maybe it is in a "semi" on condition already, it's just that you can't do anything with it. But if it's completely broke then might as well take it into service center for repair. Don't know what you're gonna tell them though @escoda
Yep. From what i know on the htc one x, once you turn off the phone completely (no hibernation mode) and you plug it in the pc it goes automatically to a adb hibernation mode. That's why its in the device manager. So it reads the device but can't respond correctly. But to get a step ahead it's very necessary to turn the device on.
@escoda its not completely bricked yet. Just go to ubuntu and follow the guide mentioned from Brendm14. Like he also said you only need to download then those files for the htc one m8. Most qualcomm devices have everything on the same partition but you could probably examine or the bootloader and the other required stuff are the same partition number as in the guide. If so then you still just need to download the htc files and do it the same.
I dont know where you can get the htc files since I am/was an LG user.

Those files are present on any firmware.zip for the appropriate phone model.

How do i update it? I am scared of bricking my new phone so could someone please explain it to me like i am stupid? I used the all_in_one_toolkit (wonderful program!)

1) Mods won't like you posting a question in the Dev thread... there are specific sections (general, firmware, etc) where you can post it...
2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Okay. This will update your firmware. Backup anything important to you, because this will wipe your phone.

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.
I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..

[Needed] G4 H812 Rogers KDZ File

Hey guys,
So I attempted to root my G4 with the H811 firmware from T-Mobile in the States... Obviously now, I cannot boot into recovery (as far as I know) and only have access to Download Mode. I can, however, use the send_command to connect to the phone (Only in Download Mode).
However, I cannot access the storage device to upload the Rogers "rooted" img file. Using the information found here. Is there anything I can do right now? Seeing as this phone is literally my home phone and internet, nobody can get a hold of me.
I need to find a fix for this as soon as possible!
Thank you very much for reading.
EDIT: Just so everyone knows, I cannot use ADB because my system does not boot.
EDIT 2: http://i.imgur.com/nxNpzqt.png - Looks to be bricked entirely, unless this can be fixed?
EDIT 3: The phone as been sent away for repairs; warranty replacement inbound.
There is rooted Rogers firmware in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3135162
K get stock or rooted Rogers system img and try comands from and see if you can push it to phone and and install it

Why return to 5.0 só fast...is more easy wait for oficial ota of 6.0.1 and do adb sideload!
I want to downgrade as well, I've found several guides, but I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.
I saw in one place that sideloading the stock 5.0 firmware from the asus website could work... would this be a valid solution? Would it be as simple as sideload with adb the stock 5.0 firmware, if I'm in the 6.0 already?

First go to the website of Asus, and download the firmware .. 184 or this link (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.147549438.850793534.1463019251) and put the external SD Card!!!
NOTE: If your bootloader is similar to the image (with the blue letters ..), you just need to step 3 of this my turorial
ht*tp://www*androidheadlines*com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/asus-zenfone-2-google-howto-1.jpg (remove "*" again^^)
1. Go to this page (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/) and follow the steps of the second method..
1.1 Download Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184 version (https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw)
1.2 Download and extract FlashTools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927)
1.3 Extract Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184_system_w_root.zip (for step 1.1) and put the "system.img" in the folder of FlashTools together with "boot.img", "droidboot.img" and "recovery.img"
2. Now follow the steps of the second method (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/), from step 7 to 11;
3. Also I was stuck in the bootloader after this procedure... BUT, you need to download this file (the first method): http://www.mediafire.com/download/v6m7n9j0gqins9b/CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip;
3.1 And follow the steps from 1 to 9 (the first method): https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/... EXCEPT: The steps include the root (you do not need the root ..)
3.2 When you are already in CWM recovery, only install the firmware 184 (of start.. of Asus) which is in the external SD Card ... and end ^^.
3.3 I recommend wipe data / factory after starting the device first time...

Thank you!!! This worked!
I got into boot loop, but I did factory reset, and everything is good as new!
The only weird thing... the Mail app (Asus email) is missing. I found somewhere the apk file, and I did a sideload of it, and it works. But if I check on the computer the Google Play store, it says that the app is incompatible with my device...

Glad that it worked for you too!
Bootloop is normal as seen on the tutorial.
I think that's normal since Asus will replace their default mail app to Gmail once MM final is release. same goes for my phone, Asus Mail doesn't come preinstalled.

Wasted two hours trying to figure how to combine the .bin files into system.img file and still didn't find it.
They were not combined automatically upon extracting them. Used Winrar and 7-zip.
I'm on beta. I only wanted to move to CyanogenMod.
Someone please show me the way.
