Hello,
I've done an update while my HOX was charging, it took around 2 hours but at the end phone turned on. BUT since then when I try to launch almost every app, phone restarts. Even when I try to change my ringtone phone does the same. I did a "Factory Reset" several times, it didn't help, I uninstalled all the apps, which I downloaded, made a factory reset, didn't help. I entered safe mode, but still have the same problem. So now I can't enjoy the phone, that is very pity. Software info: Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 4.0, Software number 1.28.401.9.
I'm a rookie in whole android issue, so I'd be very thankful for your help.
I contacted an HTC service but they couldn't help me, they suggested to send it to a lab. Is there any other solution?
Thank you in advance

Send it in to the lab.
The problem is that, I live in Israel and HTC doesn't have lab here. They suggested me to send it to Greece, I'm not too happy with this option. Maybe I can downgrade the current software? Or any other possibility.
Thanks,

No, the only way you're going to Downgrade your software or Just install a different ROM, is by rooting it.
This Voids your warranty, so do your research first.
If you're not comfortable with that you might aswell just send it to HTC.
Can you, please, give me some references about how am I doing the rooting?
Thanks,
You could download the RUU for your current software version and try running that to reinstall it; the phone is not meant to be charging while you install an OTA update so it's possible something hasn't copied correctly because of that.

You can find all released RUUs here (the links in the first post are pretty slow, but there are faster mirrors scattered throughout the thread). Make sure you download the one that matches your version.
Installation steps? Plug your phone into your computer via USB and run the .exe file. It'll take you through everything else.
Thank you very much. I hope it'll help...
Just got this tablet a couple days ago.
Zeki Tablet TBDG874. It has 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I have been trying to find a way to root it. Have tried several different ways to root(including the update.zip, and crystalroot.zip) and they fail which a expected considering it is a different version of Android OS. Also cant even seem to find a usb driver that works for it either. If i could find a usb driver could dig further in but can't seem to find one anywhere. Called Zeki customer support and they informed me the tablet is very new and they don't have any drivers for it either. Was rather surprised by it, and was also notified they didn't know what rooting was even though i tried to explain it, that was in vain.
Anywho, I am wondering if somebody could send me perhaps there working drivers for usb and maybe they might work on it, or if any other ideas i'm open to try them If you need more info let me know. . If this is in the wrong place, please move accordingly. I have been lingering on here for quite some time but never needed to post before due to great people on here always having a answer for nearly every problem i have had with any android device.

Well finally found drivers for this tablet. If anyone needs them send me a message and i will try and send it. Cant post things yet or i would put them here. However have not found a way to root it yet. Have tried many tools and methods so far to no avail. If anyone has any ideas i'm willing to try anything. I really dont want to have to send it back but it may be looking like i have to. It keeps locking up and have to reset it alot to make it usable again.

King root was the only way I could root mine, but the tablet went crazy after about 2 months and quit booting.
The only other way I could think of that I didn't try was to push /system/xbin through adb.
Another useful tool was called Uberizer, but it requires full adb access to push superuser.
Lmk how you make out...
Sent from my BLU Studio 5.3ii using XDA Free mobile app
Could you please send me my mail [email protected] update.zip?
If the driver is recommended you use Android tablet Multi Tools v1.02b will serve to remove the screen lock or wipe cache, etc ...
I know this is super old... but...
hey this prob sounds stupid but would the"drivers" you speak of fix my tablet that won't boot fully? it won't factory reset either. I've never tried rooting or anything.. it just stopped booting past where it says "Android" back in like 2012 or something & I just decided to pull it outa the closet and see if I could find a solution. thx!
Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance
I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!
Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.
Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.
I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!
Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.
I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method
well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.
What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.
Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.
Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.
links are down....check this instead
Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy
So, my phone reset itself randomly today and I noticed it was unable to turn on Wi-Fi for some reason. I uninstalled an app I've had for a long time called Power Toggles as I know it also can turn on/off the Wi-Fi (to make sure the phone and it weren't fighting) and I got the idea to check the root using Root Checker. Turns out, it failed . . . So something funny is going on.
I have not knowingly taken any type of update but every once in a while, my phone has tried to update and then said it aborted it due to suspected root. Not sure if that's what happened this time around as it happened while it was in my pocket (or at least it was working before I put it away and then later on, it basically stopped working and just seems to continuously reboot for funsies).
I tried rooting my phone using Kingoroot, an LG one click method (both script and GUI) with no luck. I've never had trouble rooting my phone, especially with one click roots before! I reinstalled LG drivers, disabled and re-enabled USB debugger, switched between MTP and PTP connections, etc. I can't seem to get it to recognize the phone. When doing one root method though, it reminded me to accept the RSA fingerprint and I realized that my phone is not asking me for the RSA fingerprint for my computer. I even tried revoking previous fingerprints and no luck there either. So I'm not sure what might be repressing that option but I'm assuming that's the "root" of my rooting issue.
Anyway, does anyone know
a) why my phone would suddenly be acting this way (I think I read someone else had similar symptoms in one of the one click root forums. Tried searching for more mentions but the website seems to be halting and letting me know the issue has been sent to administrators or something to that effect).
b) how do I solve this?
Below is what I'm running:
Android Version
5.0.1
Kernal Version:
3.4.0
Build Number:
LRX21Y
Software Version:
D85021I
Security Software Version:
MDF v1.1 Release 2
I have a TWRP backup made from quite a while ago (possibly a year ago) so i can try and utilize that but I'm not sure if that will do me any good if I can't root my phone first. I don't want to do anything out of desperation that's going to put me into more trouble down the road. At least as of now, my phone boots up correctly (even if it does seem to reset fairly regularly and has a constant battery drain from trying to turn on the wifi).
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I won't just have to buy a new phone . . . Thanks in advance!
Turns out Bluetooth no longer works either. Just thought that might be worth mentioning.

Well ok, you have that TWRP backup, how about accessing TWRP?
Can you enter recovery?
Does it display your IMEI in system settings, what does it do when you try to enable wifi?
Can you make backup of your current ROM in TWRP, then try to restore the old one, try restoring only system partition if the backup was made on same Android Lollipop 5.0.1. ?
Well, I was able to get into recovery and run an old image but it appears to have the same issue. My IMEI is fine (I did a full backup including IMEI but it had a valid IMEI before as well) so that wasn't the issue. Looking at that other thread someone posted, it looks like my phone is just screwed and this is a well known issue. It looks like people were able to fix it by replacing the motherboard, which is obviously not an option for me. If that's the case, I'm guessing this is my first and last LG phone. I've never had this kind of issue with a Samsung. In fact, I'm now back on an old S4 until I can figure out what to do. Not sure what phone to get at this point.
Natus, to answer your question, the Wi-Fi icon just kinda goes in a loop like it's trying to start it up. Opening up the Wi-Fi menu has it say it's starting up the Wi-Fi but never gets there. Unfortunately, it eats up battery fast, heats it up quickly, and eventually restarts.
I'm open to any other ideas but I'm guessing it's a hardware problem at this point. Thanks for the info, everyone! I do appreciate the help!
If you have any suggestions for a new phone, I'm all ears. Trying to stay out of a payment plan so I'm looking at the Nexus 6P but I'm wondering if there's one coming down the pipeline I might want to hold off for. I'd rather buy directly from the manufacturer than go through AT&T, given the option. Might need to start a new thread for that one though . . . Thanks!

I'd wait for note 7 or even iphone 7 =]
I flashed TWRP with odin.
After that I was not able to boot or start recovery.
Only download mode is possible.
In download mode it shows
warranty void 1 (0x030c)
I also cannot flash anything in odin anymore.
After initializing, it immidiatly stops with the error:
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (DeviceInfo)
Can anybody help me, how to get this beautiful phone running again?
Thanks so much!

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.
Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.
I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...
Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.
Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...
Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.
It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?
Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?
Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.
Can you help me, where I can get this?

I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...
I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.
I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.
Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.
Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.
I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.
Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.
I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.
Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

The recovery mode cannot be accessed, no matter how hard you try
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA Free mobile app
I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.
I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.
Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

I really doubt, that this will help, since I cannot flash anything in odin. After initialization I always get the error "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.
I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.
Anyway, Wishing you luck !
I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
Its worked for me in the past, with my s6 edge.
