[Q] Bootloader corrupt WTF?

Sorry for my enthusiasm, but here is my problem:
I want to install Android Revolution on my HTC DHD.
I've done all these steps:
- Successfully created a GoldCard
- Successfully dowgraded from 2.3.3 to 1.32
- Successfully permrooted via Visionary+
- Successfully Radio S-OFFed, SuperCID + SimUnlock via this tool
- Now failed on ENG S-OFF via this tool

I opened it as Admin, I am on a Radio-S-OFFed and Permrooted Device with Software <1.7x, I checked "Yes, I have Radio-S-OFF" (or how it was called), I connected my phone via charge only, I enabled USB Debugging, I have all adb drivers (HTC sync), I accepted the superuser request on my phone and I so I have done EVERYTHING mentioned in the threads, which I Have read 2 times before doing it, but now this stupid error and I don't know how to proceed.
I hope you guys can help me. I did of course not reboot my phone, and I am continuosly charging it right now to prevent running out of battery.
EDIT UPDATE: I tried the tool now without the box checked, gives me "connection error" (yes I again accepted superuser request)

Ok, ok nevermind guys, figured it out myself:
Thanks to ratman33 and myself for trying out weird thingds

I had the same error and nearly crapped my pants thinking I bricked my phone. Its not really a big problem. Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage apps and clear the data from Superuser. Reconnect your phone making sure you're on charge only, usb debugging. Run the Eng S-off tool and watch your phone as it attemps to push the data. Superuser should pop up asking to let the Eng tool have privs. Click allow and it should work fine. CWM has been working great for me ever since!

But this alone did not work for me. I needed to go to Menu>Settings>Applications and then check "Fastboot" so that it's enabled. Then disconnect your phone from the PC and WAIT min. 5 seconds. Then connect it again and run the tool, and it gives you success message!
But: Can I now be sure everything went right?

It should be. I guess there is only one way to find out, reboot in bootloader and see the results.

or you could have tried with your Wi-fi turned on and connected to a network.....that's the way it worked for me

Bricked SM-T705

Hi all Xda members and developers. I need your help.. My Tab S 8.4 (T705) appears to be brick. It suddenly restarts itself and stuck with black screen. When I tried to enter Download mode, it shows me below info instead of normal Download mode:
SDCARD MODE
UP KEY: NORMAL BOOTING
DOWN KEY: DOWNLOAD MODE
(See picture attached)
But when I press volume key Up or Down, it does not do anything. Trying to enter any other mode (such as Recovery mode) does not do nothing either.
It appears to be brick and I am not sure what to do with this.
Please help.
UPDATE 2
Last night I could not find any solution and could not even turn off the screen, so I left it on and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning and check it again, the batter was dead. So I plug in charger and it show the charging logo and then I tried to turn it on..... and volla.. it boots back to normal state... Interesting but this is really what happening.
UPDATE 1:
I found some information on some certain Galaxy S3 devices which had the same/ semilar problem. In this case, the phone could boot from SD Card.
I think It may work if there is anyone who could help dumping the Tab S T705 bootloader (I am so sure how this is done anyway) to empty SD card?
Millions thanks ahead...

Do you have an sd-card in the unit?
If so what happens when you remove it?

Odin does not detect it since its not download mode. This SD Card mode is very new to me.

There is no difference or change when the SD-Card is in device or not. I've tried to enter download mode both cases (with and without SD card inside). Thanks.

Hey I just noticed this thread and skimmed through it very quickly. Same thing happned to mine a couple weeks back. SM-T705 with the same screen. Mine happened after an overnite charge when I powered up the device. I'm running SuperSamsung rom v2. Long story short, I tried everything to boot into recovery and reset the device. Through some research, I found out that I needed to reset the battery, which would have been simple if our batteries were removeable. Here is how my device was reset. Hold POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN = BATTERY RESET - You will need to do this for at least a minute for it to reset. Good luck and hope this helps.
BTW mine was reset after the battery had been completely discharged

Try enter download mode and try flash through Odin if it let's you but all Samsung's can be easily restored
See if you can get a USB JIG or something for the T705 there very helpful for fixing bricked devices
TAPATALKED WITH MY TAB S 8.4

i had got the same Sdcard mode too, anyone know how n why? is it a sign that the soft or hardware over tweaked? - am using SM-T705 IRON Rom 1.1.5

Help! I soft bricked my Pumpkin head unit and need help fixing it!!!

I have a pumpkin rk3188, 2gb ram, 32gb nand, 7" head unit (http://www.autopumpkin.com/car-dvd-...-gps-obd2-wifi-3g-steering-wheel-control.html) and I tried to get @Malaysk rom on it, but it wouldn't let me into bootloader or recovery no matter what I did, even with root bootloader just rebooted system and recovery went to recovery but just ran a factory reset script without giving me any options. So I tried to flash a factory image using the gps sd and naming it update.img, now the boot logo is different and it's stuck in a boot loop and I still can't get into bootloader or recovery. And I've tried to put another update.img on the sd card, but it does nothing. Is there anything I can do or am I sol?

I did the alt prtscr I trick with a USB keyboard plugged in n seem to have gotten to some menu but it's off the screen for some reason. I can see the edge of a highlight bar that I can move with the arrows up n down, n a thin line at the end of the list, whatever the list says idk. There's 7 options tho, it seems like the first attempts to boot, the second n third do something bit idk what, n the rest just return to this menu. It's orange btw. I'm going to upload pics of what I see. Can anyone help me figure out what this menu is n if I can use it to fix me unit? Thx!

I GOT IT!!!! I got it back up n running the pumpkin firmware!!! Idk about u man, but I figured out/git lucky with the orange recovery or bootloader I had n couldn't see the writing. I got the official firmware from pumpkin for this unit n downloaded the right mcu img, put them both on the sd card n put it into the GPS slot, then used the keyboard to get to the orange screen n the option that worked was the 3rd one down. It took a while, 15-20 minutes of nothing but a black screen, but it finally came back up with the boot logos. It was stuck at the boot logos again so I reset n did the alt prtscr I trick again to get to recovery again n it wiped n reinstalled the img n bam it worked! Slow first load but it worked! Let me know if u need the files or help.

I've been fighting the same problems. I would love the files too. Which mcu img did you use.

For my pumpkin unit it's a bin file, they call it project-car.bin. There's a mcu updater that uses bin files in the settings. The stock recovery doesn't recognize mcu.img sadly. I uploaded the project-car.bin here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2T5FQZ-WJDQS3hXVFFFTnIwaGc/view?usp=drivesdk) and you can get the stock rom from pumpkin here (https://mega.nz/#!lc9HAbLK!nAIsEvYnSwqCV47vCmMRKBVivygxaJbGD3KPV0pxvZ8)

They same thing happened here too. Just a boot loop and no way to get into recovery with the buttons.
Could you please tell how the mentioned trick works?
alt prtscr I trick with a USB keyboard

Thank you very much in advance!

Could you please tell how the mentioned trick works?
Use a USB keyboard attached to the head unit's USB port. Either port should work. After powering the HU or resetting, press and hold the alt and prtscr keys, then press and release the "i" key. It should then boot into recovery. If not, repeat.

Hello， can you tell me what can bus options you have in factory settings. Mine have only BMW 1，2，3，4 . no another car. And reverse camera is to black.
Thank you.

Xiaomi MI5S is dead after MIUI update?!

Hi everyone,
After last MIUI update, my MI5S (Global) is not responsive anymore. I tried all the combinations of power and volume buttons, but the screen remains black.
The only answer I got is an error after running MiFlash :
{
"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"
}
So, summing up:
1) Doesn't startup on pressing power button.
2) Phone doesn't start in recovery mode.
3) Phone doesn't enter fastboot mode ( power + volume down).
4) No notification led showing battery charging status.
Best regards,
Tiago

Find any Linux PC, install adb on it and install recovery through fastboot mode ( Mi bunny on phone, fastboot command in console ).

Hi BlackJetCat,
The thing is, I cannot see any bunny on the phone because the screen is always black and besides that, I'm getting the message ""waiting for device" after executing "fastboot boot recovery.img".
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for your help.

Wow, you don't see anything on screen? Try to press Vol- + Power for until you see FASTBOOT text and picture. If not helped, try to find any unbricking instruction for SD821. Also you can turn off and on battery [only by taking off back cover]. Maybe your problem related to screen or power controller.
sorry for bad english, this is my 3rd language

Maybe you can try "deep flash", search on web about it, it needs a simple cable to flash. Search deep flash for mi5s.

I cannot see anything on the screen. I already searched for some unbricking solutions, but without success. I was able to flash the phone using Mi Flash, but nothing more. Mi Flash is the only place where the phone is detected.

I didn't try deep flash or removing the battery. Do you know if that would void the warranty?
Thanks for your help.

It doesn't need opening the phone, you just need to make a simple cable or buy it and flash device with Xiaomi Flash tool.
Here is a guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/how-to/guide-flash-xiaomi-mi-5s-chinese-rom-to-t3530834
Update: I think it doesn't void warranty because its not kind of unlocking or opening the phone case.

Pixel 2 XL (rooted) bootlooping to TEAMWIN splash after factory reset

I am helping someone with this phone, so I don't have all the details, but I know the phone was rooted and most likely it was running stock Android 10. It had been working fine until a factory reset (from Android settings I am assuming) was done on it.
1. Now when it turned on, it displays the "Bootloader unlocked" warning:
{
"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"
}
2. After the message, it goes to the Google logo for a second and then to the TEAMWIN splash screen, and it just stays there. I have to long-press the power button to power it off.
3. I can get into the bootloader using the power and volume-down keys, and the "Barcodes", "Restart bootloader" and "Power off" option work, but "Start" and "Recovery mode" just take me back to step 1 and then 2.
So, I cannot get into "Recovery mode". I have also connected the phone to my pc (Ubuntu), but the OS does not detect it, so I cannot use fastboot either.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

If you cant connect to it via fastboot while its in bootloader mode things are grim, thats your best bet at fixing it...
Connect to PC and flash the Android 10 stock ROM by running flash-all.bat while phone is at bootloader
Without editing the flash-all.bat file to remove the -w flashing stock ROM will format user data
Thats it
The state of the phone in the pic does not inspire confidence....
Im starting to think the two things are related....

After connecting a working and identical phone to my PC, I found out that the reason my PC didn't detect this phone was that the USB port on phone was dirty and the connector didn't go all the way in.
After I cleaned the USB port I was able to flash the stock ROM to it. I was getting an error mid-way through, so I removed the "-w" as per your advice, tried again and it worked. The phone works now. Thank you 73sydenay!
