Care Suit Emergency Connectivity - Nokia X

I have Nokia X Product code : 059W119 . I was flashing my phone with Product Support Tool as it was only booting into CWM after I failed to install CM. I got flash files for a global varient 059V301 from allflashfiles.com as Data Pack Manager and Navifirm was not working. I flashed my phone with 059V301 and got message finished on Product Support Tool but my phone didn't start up and just being detected as Care suit emergency Connectivity. Also tried to install Qualcomm Drivers and then got QUALCOMM HS-USBQLOADER 9008(COM3). Now my product support tool Shows PRODUCT IN DOWNLOAD MODE but when I select the correct package I.e 059W119 it says data package selection error and I could not re-flash it. Also tried QPST but of no use as Nokia X FW does not contain .HEX, Patch ().XML ...etc to flash Qualcomm image.:crying:

But I'll Try to Explain it in Steps ( I'll try to keep it simple and quick)
Step 1 . GET Nokia Care Manager , Data Package Manager ( THE LATEST VERSIONS )
Please Note : If you dont get the latest version you will not find your device in the application. I had to download 3 different care suites till i found Nokia XL, Get The Version 5.3.xxxxxx XD That did it for me
Step 2. Install EveryThing , And Open DataPackage Manager , Now You will Have to Enter Your Product Code and type You can find These if Your remove your back cover, Or In The Box For me it was RM-1030 and blah blah blah for Product Code XD Click Search , it will show the suitable Stock Rom For Your Device THEN download It ( Now we are Done With The DOWNLOADING PART ) On to Flashing
Step 3. Open Product Support Tool, and Go to File<Open Product , The Search for Your Product Mine was Nokia XL , Then Select it
Step 4. In The Lower Left Corner you Will see Programming Click it The Select RECOVERY. (THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DEVICE [ FACTORY RESET IT] AND it will flash the stock rom for you).Then you will see the file you downloaded, IF you dont see the file you downloaded just click update list, That should do the trick Then Just Click Start. after That You are pretty much Done There will be some things you are supposed to do like go into some Nokia mode but that all is simple and will be explained as the application flashes your stock rom
Hope This Helped You if You had the same problem as i did
BTW IF YOU HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE SIGNING IN ( you will mostly DO ) then Just Download UserGraphicConfiguration,
Link :

Pantech Vega A880S - Stuck at RED SW Download mode

My phone (Pantech Vega A880s) is stuck at Emergency Mode due to incomplete firmware upgrade process. I tried to re-flash by official online flashing tool and unofficial offline flashing tools but nothing worked. Tools detect phone, do something but eventually fail. Error messages are supposed to be in Korean language but they are obscured. I tried to change encoding of the text to get actual korean text but could not succeed. So currently I am totally in dark about what is the problem in flashing.
There is no recovery, no fastboot mode available in this condition. The only hope is the activeX based flash tools. I have the DLLs and activeX of the tool, maybe some good Windows Forms dev can develop an app for flashing or at least extract readable error text from the DLLs.
SkyUpdate.dll is actually an ocx file. This is the main thing which is actually the flash tool. Combined with other DLLs it gets info about connected phone (when drivers are installed) and then downloads the latest firmware file (.binx format) to %temp%. after downloading the files it flashes it to the phone if version => phone's version. Because this is ocx, so it runs only in internet explorer (with compatibility mode ON).
Upgrade interface is : http://dmfile.isky.co.kr/NewSelfUpgrade/index.html
PS: Phone is not dead because flasher tool detects correctly. There is no pantech service centers in my country and neighbors.
Edit: This (XDA) is pretty much my LAST HOPE.
Edit: Had to create new thread for such details.

SM-P607T stuck in 4.4.2

Hello everyone,
i bought the SM-P607T during my deployment in Afghanistan over Ebay USA . Spending my time there i tested the device and installed all updates etc. Back in Germany just my wife used it. Some weeks ago i noticed that an update to Lollipop should be avaible so i took the device to bring it up to date and i noticed some problems.
(Please note that i am just a noobie to flashing and rooting android and just follow guides to get to my goal.)
1. Device only loading while shut down. (After rooting and installation of TWRP it strangely started to load while on again even on PC USB connection)
2. Its not possible to connect the device with any PC.
3. OTA updates stop at around 27% and fail (KitKat 4.4.4)
[In TWRP shown
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/fota/update.zip
E: Error installing zip file /data/fota/update.zip"]
Strange enough that the update info shown in android is Chinese Version
Tried to get some support with Samsung Europe but unfortunately they say US device US problem......
So what did i do in the meantime
1. Tried different loading devices frome Samsung and 3rd party companys. No changes.
2. Tried several different data cables to connect to 4 different PC. Even the one wich worked good with my Honor7 or the Galasy S4 mini dont do with the 607
3. My last try to fix this problem was to change the USB charging dock completely. Also didn´t change anything.
4. Now the step where i am currently stuck. I managed to root the device and install TWRP(v2.8.7.0) . Now tried to install Version P607TUVUBOI2 via SD Card.
Just followed diffenrent Guides on youtube and forums but im stuck at this.
Here is the message i got in TWRP recovery:
"Installing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
Checking for MD5 file....
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
Error flashing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip

Checked the *.zip on my PC there was just this file in: P607TUVUBOI2_P607TTMB1BOI2_P607TUVUBOI2_HOME.tar.md5
Downloaded the file from a different source again with same result
It would be very nice if someone is capable to help me with this and give me a hint what i possibly did wrong (Please do not mention not to buy in the US). For me it doesnt matter if i got a rooted or not routed version to install my main goal is to get rid of 4.4.2 . The problem with the not working USB connection is the biggest show stopper for me.

I really confused about your description? you using twrp to flash a .zip rom? then you mentioned about .md5 rom on your pc? how did you flash? With .md5 rom you need to use Odin to flash. Can you boot into download mode (hold down volume down + Home buttons then press power button)? If you able to boot to download mode, your pc should able to see the device and you would use Odin to flash the .md5 rom from your pc to the device. Also where did you download the .zip rom?

Archos 50 Cesium/Bush Eluma B2 - any hope?

This is my first modern Windows Mobile (I used Windows Mobile 11 years a go) and it seems Microsoft was crippled the operating system.
Model: Bush Eluma, Windows 10 native (rebranded Archos 50 Cesium)

What I'm trying to do: Interop-unlock
What I've managed to do: Deploy apps, such as Root Tool and vcREG
Where I'm stuck: Setting the value for my model of phone - I have no idea where to look
I hope I've provided information in a clear format. I'd very much appreciate some help or feedback in order to interop-unlock this model
System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo

Value = "True" (I think this used to just say "ARCHOS")
Thank you for reading.
Was there any progress made with this? Looking to interop unlock phone too so any help would be great
you tried this?

Sorry to kinda hijack this thread, but I have this device and struggling to find any other owners. My understanding is that the archos 50 cesium is the windows version of the 50e helium. I have an emmc dump of the 50e helium, if you cant already tell where im going with this, I want to flash this dump to my eluma b2 but cant get qfil or thor2 to do this. Can anyone help? or even know if this is possible?

I say just enjoy the W10 phone while you can, or if you really want Android, go buy that model online some where.
It is not as simple as it sounds. You would need at least a flash programmer for the SoC in that phone which usually the manufacturers never release. Depending on the format of the dump you might need other flashers or files to understand how the Archos 50 eMMC is structured or to utilize them in the flashing process. You would also want to be able to put the phone into EDL mode. If you can manage to even boot the flash programmer and initialize a flash of the phone there is also high risk of bricking it. Because you would be flashing partitions that were not signed for that phone/SoC. So I am not sure if you would also need to unlock the boot loader on it or not...sounds like you would. IMO it would be best to unlock the bootloader so you can backup the current layout of the phone. This as far as I know is not possible, so I would just stop there.
I know there are some threads in other forums where they are trying to do this with the IDOL 4s, and maybe a couple devices in the past have worked out to be able to do this. However it pretty much hinges on unlocking the boot loader. Also from what I know once you flash it like that and even if device survives (it boots, the IMEI is in tact, etc.) you cannot revert it back or it is pretty much impossible to go back without bricking it.
user154 said:
It doesnt really matter if the device is rendered unusable, it is quite a long way down the list of backup devices I have, it was more for the fun of trying to do it. The device is the exact same as its android counterpart (hardware wise) this is what made me think it should theoretically be possible. The dump I have was made with infinitybox, I have managed to create the required rawprogram.xml and patch.xml from the gpt binary contained within the dump. I have also found a couple of flash programmers for the soc (prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn, and a couple of manufacturer specific ones, pretty sure iv got the filename slightly wrong there). I have been able to boot the device to EDL mode using a cable, however sahara fails to load the flash programmer to the device. I didnt think the bootloader would need to be unlocked to flash the device seeing as the device is in EDL mode and what Im trying to flash is signed as is just the dump from the android counterpart. Maybe this is where im going wrong. Also Im working on the assumption the IMEI will be wiped as I plan to flash persist.img from dump too, I thought trying to keep the partition where it is stored in windows 10 and repartition the rest of the emmc to the same as the android counterpart might make things more complicated than they already are. Also IMEI can sometimes be quite simple to repair on certain devices (A lot more simple than what Im trying to acheieve here anyway). Can you point me in the right direction as to where I can find instructions to unlock the bootloader of this device? for some reason it doesnt get recognised by wpinternals (In any mode, EDL, standard flash mode, no idea what thats called on windows haha, or booted normally)

Sounds like you're on the right path. I'm not 100% sure you need to unlock the boot loader, however it would definitely make things easier as you could dump partitions from the phone as it is and even possibly enable mass storage mode. I am unsure where you would look to unlock that phones boot loader other than here. The flash programmers you have may not be built for the Windows Phone eMMC and why they are not booting.
Hi, this is quite interesting for me as I am struggling with 2 Cesium 40 devices stuck in Qualcomm download mode. I thought I managed to extract msimage.mbn and hex binary file from ffu, converted the hex file to hex.hex and added first and last-but-one lines. Although there was no way to escape from Qualcomm mode. Thor recognizes the Qualcomm deveices, but tells me to stop QFIL operations, even if there is no QFIL. Any ideas?

If you have qpst/qfil installed on your PC, and have used them recently. The services might still be running. Just hunt for them in task manager and kill them and run thor2 again. See if that helps.
Worked a treat! Much obliged.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am nearly sure, I uninstalled QFIL and shutdown my pc after use, but I will check on it.
So I uninstalled QFIL and rebooted. This is the result:

sorry you had problems
the error is one of the drivers lg
you should plug it into one of the main USB ports on your PC.
or rather entering device manager and re-assign drivers to ports.
Have you downloaded the lgup for lg g3 and g2?
Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, LG PC Suite OK.not sure what else there is missing.
Download : lgup-g2-g3.zip
Solve it FIX
good after I found the problem LGUP
roms apparently change the model of the device as it changes cm11 to build Cyanogenmod 11 xx
AOSP - to AOSP rom 2 etc.
the solution would be to install a stock rom clean no matter if v10 v30 etc. The important thing is not having changed the model number and manufacturer.
I hope I have helped and sorry
that includes cloudy fa's roms

Hi !
How do I do all the above ?
My PC recognize the phone without problem, but LGUp won't start unless I "select a known model"... (LGUp window shows : Model = Unknown ; COM Ports = [COM5, CloudyG3] )
Problem is that my phone is softbricked after installing a new ROM, and I can only enter download mode (not even recovery). I just want to downgrade it and reflash a LG's stock ROM (or whatever ROM that would make my phone actually work !!! )
Can you help me do that ?

LGUP "UNKNOWN" and FlashTool failure with LG G3 (and possibly others)
When I downloaded and installed LGUP with the DLL installer stated to be for the LG G3, the program did not recognise the phone, reporting it as "UNKNOWN". The LG FlashTool also failed, reporting the IMEI and PID as NULL. After spending a lot of time on this, I twigged that the DLL file in the LGUP model directory was for the 8994 processor; but the G3 has an 8974, quite different and incompatible. I located the DLL installer MSI file for 9874 devices, uninstalled LGUP and the DLLs from Windows add/remove programs, ran the 9874 DLL installer and reinstalled the LGUP program, and everything worked.
The file is, amongst other places, on https://uptoandroid.com/download-lg-up-tool-for-lg-smartphone-latest/. Do not download DLL files for LG G4, LG V10, LG G3, LG Stylo, filename LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5 .msi, but instead For LG phones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, filename LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.msi:.
