Recently I dropped my lenovo p2 in water. Since it is out of warranty I went to a local unauthorized service shop where guy opened up the device and let circuits dry. After drying up phone went into a boot loop so he did factory reset. Now problem is that when I boot my phone it can't detect any wifi network and not even sim card. Looks like the antenna is fried. Without net it is not letting me go inside phone by logging to gmail account.
I want some way to install another custom os on device via laptop so I can use it as music player atleast if no sort of network. Touch battery speaker every other thing is fine.
Hope this helps.

Guys,
Recently my HTC Desire seems to be having some problems. Right now I'm unable to start up my phone. It basically freezes at the HTC startup screen.
These are the symptoms I experienced over the past two weeks, which may or may not be related to the problem:
A couple of weeks ago, I was no longer to update the Weather/clock widget via 2G. Not a problem via wifi, and internet via 2G was also not a problem (my carrier doesn't have 3G). Around the same time the phone started resetting itself when I was playing Angry birds for a while (say, 10 minutes or so).
Then this weekend I took a flight, so I switched off the phone, then on arrival, it no longer wanted to switch on anymore. It almost got me into serious trouble!
The phone was never flashed with 3rd party ROM, and was running Android 2.2, which was an OTA update from HTC.
I tried going into the bootloader and clear the user data, and run recovery (not all at the same time). The recovery function didn't do anything other than reboot the phone. Ultimately I was not able to do anything with the bootloader. And the phone is still freezing on startup.
I also tried restarting it without the SD card installed (I read somewhere online that someone had a problem like that), and without the SIM card installed (I had a busted SIM card a while ago which made the phone do silly things like drop connection etc.).
Can anyone tell me what this could mean? Is this repairable? Moreover, if yes, is it actually WORTH getting repaired?
Is it possible to repair it by flashing a new ROM? If yes, how do I do this considering that I couldn't work out how to function the bootloader with the phone (though admittedly, I didn't have an alternative ROM either on the phone or on the SD card...)
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Sorry guys I have recently purchase an SM-P601, (for about 2 weeks ago), It's amazing tablet ever i have, and also root it while it has continue Warranty period.
Few days ago, I inserted a SIM card into the tablet, it said "SIM Card inserted, reboot to access SIM Service", but it's quite bizarre - after reboot the tablet seem not recognize SIM card it said the same message pop up and required to reboot again. I follow the process (do reboot about 10 times).
Remind that: i freeze some services via Titanium backup that i believed all of them is bloatware.
After 10 times reboot, i did restore from TWRP (the backup i use for the first time i rooted the tablet) and this time it's fine. The tablet recognize the SIM card and no more reboot, 3G access like a cup-cake.
I tried to freeze less bloatware than later, it seem ok and no problem until now, Tablet doesn't recognize SIM anymore, the signal column is still 4-5 bars while the tablet said No SIM inserted. This time tablet doesn't required reboot anymore.
I wonder if anyone see the issue similar to me, and if anyone has solution for it please help me.
In worst scenario, i will try to go to Samsung Service to claim Warranty (about SIM reader replacement - but cross finger and hope they will do - regardless i tripped the knox flag into x1).
*update*: On the way to RMA, I returned to retailer first, and at there they said they will help me to return to Samsung Services. Cross finger and hope it's gonna be fine.
Read This and I just think if SIM Card holder is some kind of clipper or removable/ replacable then i should try myself too.
My dads phone went in the washing machine, it was put in rice for about 48 hours or more, it turns on but the touch screen doesn't work but menu, home, back, vol up&down and power of course. At first it wouldn't charge and my PC wouldn't notice it even plugged in so I opened it up and there was lots of corrosion on most of the connections on the motherboard so I cleaned them the best I could with 70% alcohol and cue tips and now it charges but my PC still doesn't see it. I am able to get into download mode just fine. It is also a bone stock t-mobile T999, never rooted or anything. I also put his motherboard into my T999 to see if the touch screen would work and it didn't. Is it possible to save all his contacts?
And no sync was setup, but I set it up on his new note 3.
Has your dad ever logged into the phone with a Gmail account ? If so please go to
contacts.google.com
and log on using that account.

No, that's what I men't by no sync, he didn't even have a gmail till made one for his note 3.
Touch Screen may not work but what happened when you put the motherboard in your phone ? Also when you connect to PC as-is ? Does PC show up as QSUB_XXXXX something or none at all ?

Well there was no difference when the motherboard was in my phone, my touch screen wasn't picking up anything with his motherboard. When I plug it in to my PC nothing pops up in device manager or my computer and odin doesn't see it either, this is with it sitting at the lock screen.
I believe, the phone has to be unlocked for the pc to register MTP device.
If it still does not register after that attempt, then you probably may have to subject it to a JTAG although not high hopes. You could also take it to a Samsung service centre, where they can read the memory by other means. I am sorry I am at a loss of expertise in that regard.

Well idk how to "subject it to a JTAG" but there are no Samsung service centre's in Hawaii so I called Samsung and the lady just read some trouble shooting steps after I explained my issue and she was no help at all but I guess i'm just gonna send it in for a 100 dollar refund cause I magically made the red water indicators white again but thanks anyway.
I am sorry to hear that. Ah well if you don't have service centre, then I guess, your options are limited.
Do please explore T-Mo JUMP upgrade.
I Was running Lineage OS 17.1 on weak battery (basically on power bank 24/7), now when I purchased a new battery while the old battery was too weak, my phone died on me!!
I went to local repair shop he verified-the power is flowing through charger to battery port but there's a short (Short circuit) on the mother board which isn't letting the phone to boot up (no display nor charging notification light) & the guy isn't kind/patient enough to locate and fix & i see a bleak future now,
Reason for reaching out for assistance is: I have tons of personal data from WhatsApp (not backed up since was travelling 2 days no wifi) to Bank Card details (lost card saved on phone) docs contacts, login passwords with 2FA locking me out of all the accounts sync'd to it etc. Which needs to be recovered.
Update: I checked on my pc it is showing "QUSB_Bulk" upon googling it says my device is hard bricked. Any way to recover my device without loosing data ?
I have replied you here.

Are you talking about shorting method ?

If the deep flashing USB cable method no longer works, shorting test points is probably the last only choice, however use it at your own risk.

hows the update? can it solved? my phone has the same problem.. only QUSB_BULK with little led notification
Hi everyone, just a little curious on what side of the old "metaphorical" coin my phone has fallen on. The problem this coin is concerning, is simply one related to my SIM. My phone has no cell service right now since it doesn't want to acknowledge or use the sim card it has in it. It's a 512Gb unlocked phone I special ordered upon first release, no other problems (other than the screens scratching easily) but now it's no longer working on anything other than wifi. It's the wifi that I think caused this problem actually. I just set up a new lightweight Asus RT-AX56U router to utilize two WAN ports (one built in and the other setup through a USB ethernet adapter). The problem came about after I switched down to a WPA3/WPA2 setup from a full WPA3 simply due to a connection problem one of my laptops was having (it's wifi card was one from prior to WPA3). Shortly after I did that my Z Fold 3 started having frequent wifi drop problems. After about an hour of that the connection seemed stable, then the next thing I know the phone dropped connection to both Wifi and cell network! Then after I restarted the router, only wifi would reconnect and my cell network connection has been M.I.A. ever since despite what I do (tried airplane mode, tried cache whipping it, restarting it, and finally even a full factory wipe/restart). My phone is up to date on all of it's updates (finally decided to last month after seeing that my model has no root + camera options) but nothing other than a routen cache cleaning ever happened to it prior. Just trying to figure out what my next move now should be, get a new SIM card, or is a whole new phone needed?
I would first try another sim card to see it's related to the physical card or a carrier issue. Maybe try and borrow one from another network as well.
If that fails, try a factory reset.
If that fails, it's time to reach out to Samsung.
I tried a different SIM from a different phone from the same provider (on the same contract bill). But it wouldn't register, I even factory reset it prior to trying the other SIM. So I went and got a new one from the carrier, and problem solved! (First SIM card I've ever burned out without truly trying to)
