Hi All
Have a problem with my latest phone. A so called friend told me to upgarde the ROM so as to remove all the T Mobile poop in it. So he gave me the software I started the upgrade all went well stage 1 then stage 2 and finally stage 3. It said Congrats just hit reset and the power button at the same time and its done. Easy Me thought..... Not Easy....... Its now just booting up and screaming at me. The screen wont lite up and nothing else. I have tries to reset over 10 times now.....Anyone got any ideas, have I shot and killed my new phone...
Ta JG
this is not good. do you know which phone you are having? MDA is all the phoen from t-mobile. First identify your phone. Then, you need to know if you are using the right ROM on the right phone. THEN, you have to know are you using the right phone ROM on the phone (eg G3 or G4).
Its an MDA Copmact 11 does that help....
common.. more info. which rom you've used?
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.
SORRY i AM NEW TO THIS AND i AINT GOT A CLUE WHAT i AM DOIN...HE HE HE
Oh forgot to mention it all went in ok, stage 1, 2, 3 and even told me on my computer it had worked. It was when I tried the power and reset that it all came tumbling down........

All I would like to do is get the old stuff back then worry about an upgarde later can this be done without me having to do unspeakable things to the phone????
You've just flashed your Charmer phone with an Alpine ROM. If that doesn't kill your phone, I'm not sure what will.
Ok, try this. Hold down all 3 buttons -> power, camera, record buttons, and poke the reset. See if you can get a 3 colours screen.
If you get that, close active sync (stop the process WCESCOMM.EXE), connect your phone to your PC (when it is displaying the 3 colour screen). Then you ought to be able to run the ROM update file (EXE) from t-mobile (check the Charmer Wiki) and that may fix your problem.

I have done what you have said, I think...DUHHHH the screen has not lit up but its now showing USB in the top and V1.02 in th ebottem. I have connected it to my computer but active sync has not cut in yet....... I assume I have done it wrong....
hey
you DONT want activesync to cut in
put it in that 'usb mode' that you managed to get and just run the OFFICIAL T-Mobile rom update utility, but make sure to kill the wcesscomm process in windows' task manager.
good luck!

I have just downloaded the t-mobile update as below
RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship
I have switched off the file as you have said in the task manager. The update laods then says cannot find MDA Device connection error 274.
Could a system restart help?????
Sorry for all this, maybe stick to things I do know in the future, like washing my car.......
hey
get your phone back into that screen which had 'usb' written on it.
then do this:
download and install a program called 'winrar', you've probably heard of it and in all likelihood already have it!
once its installed, right click that t-mobile update you just download and select the 'extract to.../' option that will come up in the drop down menu, let it extract to the folder it does, open the folder in there will be a few files: you want the file which is called something along the lines of 'upgrateUT' or RUU Upgrade UT, it'll be an exe,
connect your phone up to the computer (with it in the USB mode and activesync disabled) and run that exe, it should go through as normal
good luck
(if you want any help just post back! best bet is for you to extract the files and report back with the name of the files in the folder!)
duke: I think he did that. He downloaded the EXE from http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
and it seems not able to detect his Charmer.
JeanGenie: Just to make sure, when you run that EXE, you have the phone connected with it displaying USB?

well, it is amazing that you can go into the bootloader at all. I'm suspecting that the bootloader is not the Chamer bootloader, hence the ROM update EXE is not able to find it. Where did you download the Alpine ROM. Give exact link.
UPDATE: Look at the post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269329&highlight=
by 'windowsceportal'. He is able to flash the phone with 'Prophet RUU 2.5.2 noID check' with the DLL RUUResource.dll of Charmer RUU. I'm not very certain, but the noIdCheck may able to help.
UPDATE: As according to this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280128&highlight=
the bootloader mode that you are having is that of an Alpine (Charmer's bootloader mode is a screen with 3 colours). So, probably the updating program doesn't work. However, as an idea, you may want to try getting alpine upgrading EXE files to load Charmer ROM into the phone. It is an idea, not sure how can this be achieved.

Quick tutorial for unlocking & relocking the bootloader of the Xperia S/P/U/Sola.
this is the official way to unlock bootloader
Warning!
This procedure will wipe the /data partition of your phone, so you will loose all ur stored data, settings. SDCARD will NOT BE WIPED!!!
DRM keys WILL be lost forever
why to unlock bootloader?
u can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
u dont need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT ur device
SE/Sony gives sneak-peaks/preview builds of latest OS which requires unlocked bootloaders, as they did with Xperia 2011 line (they had ICS alpha/beta), so who knows may be SE/Sony may give early builds of ICS (JellyBean???)
Most of this is taken from lollylost100's his tutorial from ARC thread (all credits for that concise tutorial go to him, i have elaborated on a few things and added device specific changes)
btw i dont have this device, most of this testing was done on user darkpisces's phone so thanks a lot to him for helping me out!!!
[ before we begin unlocking bootloader ]
get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
download the fastboot package
download the latest FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack and install fastboot drivers (common) & adb drivers for this device from the list!
make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, which should be automatically done
once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device
[ how to unlock ] (official way)
Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
At the bottom click 'Start Unlocking the Bootloader'
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after u have verified that u can unlock bootloader, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Continue"
you will get "are u sure prompt" accept it by clicking "yes i am sure" (i assume that u have read an understood it)
then accept the "legal terms"
finally u will get a "Create Unlock request" page, enter your IMEI (sometimes the last digit needs to be removed for this to work), name and email address
You should now receive your unique unlock key, its displayed on screen, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
Select 'Open command window here'
Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
If this tutorial is too much for you then itskapil wrote a step-by-step guide (and recorded a video also):
-Instructions: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-xperia-arc-play-neo-pro/
-Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA
(the above videos and some steps are for Xperia 2011 devices, but most the steps are same for Xperia S/P/U/Sola)
Info on Relocking bootloader is in next post
Relocking Bootloader
this Relock FTF is based on the package posted by Blagus in his ARC thread (all credits for this go to him, i have only added the correct loader.sin for this device)
RELOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET NEWEST UPDATES & REPAIR DEVICE USING SEUS/PCC
before we begin relocking the bootloader make sure that u have flashtool download & installed
u can get the latest version of FlashTool from:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
download link is under "Installation" tab
if u have not use FlashTool before read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866
download this FTF:
Xperia S -> Xperia-S_Relock_bootloader.ftf
Xperia U -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26783129#post26783129 (thanks to enigma77x)
flash this FTF via FlashTool
RELOCK FTFs FOR P/U/Sola are under testing! if u are interested in testing kindly contact me via P.M., before u contact me, make sure that u have UNLOCKED the bootloader!
when it says enter flashmode, power down device and keeping VOLUME DOWN button pressed connect usb cable to phone, the device will now enter flashmode (green LED)
after this file is flashed reboot phone
bootloader will now be relocked!!!
incase device doenst boot DO NOT PANIC... u can flash stock firmware FTF anytime to get back to stock ROM... i will post link to working FTF once its available...
P.S.: there is no official way to relock bootloader

Yes, some software installed on the phone stops working, i.e. trackID.
Well I hope not nothing's gonna happen to the phone when we are gonna update the phone to the ICS, right now I'm in China and it's not released over here and looking forward to get this baby in my hand.
when official ICS is out, it can be flashed via flashtool as FTF file when it will be online somewhere
PS: after unlocking bootloader via official method (official Sony website way), u wont be able to update phone's software via PC Companion / or over the air
so what is the benefit of locking the bootloader if they know your warranty is void? or it in case an un-official unlock method is found?
yea I guess it's pointless locking back the BOOTLOADER but I think with the unofficial way, they know or they have registered the serial key or IMEI which you won't be able to update it to ICS via SEUS or PcCompaninon. Either way like you said, we can use the FTF files to update it to ICS. and I saw when the run ICS on Arc S and Play, I saw that they had to unlock the bootloader to install alpha ICS and it was mentioned there that you might face lotta troubles when you update it to the official ICS, so I'm gonna wait till it gets official ICS cause it'll be out very soon like end of the March.

NO!
After relock you can use SEUS / PCC / EMMA again. The imei is used to generate the unique unlock-key. Also it gets stored to check if you claim warranty. Arc has showed us that SE is not denying warranty at all if you unlocked. They just decline it if the cause of the failure is a custom rom etc. pp. for example if you ****ed your cpu with overclocking.
SEUS/PCC/EMMA checks TA area for the unlock key, if it is present it reject the phone and refuses to update. The relock Doom posted here is the same way we worked out on Arc. It deletes the unlockkey from TA and this way you are again able to use SEUS/PCC/EMMA.
Hope i enlighted you a bit.

thanks now could you indulge my question as a visitor to this device?
What is SEUS/PCC/EMMA ? ota updates?

SEUS/PCC/EMMA are all official ways to repair firmware or update device to latest firmware...
SEUS/PCC are available to all users (consumers)... EMMA is special and is only available to select individuals...
OTA updates are same as regular Over-The-Air updates for any other device...
lol thanks!.. ota updates was my guess not a second question... but thanks.

I'm having a problem here:
power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder
once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device
"Extract the above package" - you mean fastboot, right? Ok, with you so far.
"Point the driver isntall to that location". - erm. How? I don't get that option, it just searches windows update and preconfigured driver locations for ages, and the Xperia S does not show up in the device manager as an incorrectly installed device.

The Windows XP felimeri the machine, but only shows an empty folder adb driver installation, and Total Commander, however does not see downloaded from the manufacturer's website drivers installed, but not working this solution, a multitool can not find device. Maybe a factory reset would solve the matter but has not yet been described find or install a new rom that is. Img extension of the manufacturer's side, but I do not know bekepcsolni debug mode on the machine, it does not allow the zárképrnyőről to move on.

Hi there, i have tried to use the following software but it doesnt work
so basically I have a samsung G3 i9300T and I know the pattern code but i still want to try out.
firstly when i ran the Multi-tool, it doesn't recongized my phone. So i realized i have to turn on USB debugging in order to let the software to detect my phone.
So i have turned the usb debug mode on and it finally picks up my phone.
Press 1 and it has my serial number, good, good. Then I go to option 3 as you mentioned in order to unlock pattern lock.
It reboots, and the pattern lock is still sitting on screen. So i tried to swipe anywhere on the pattern lock but it doesnt allow me to go further unless i input the right code.
Now i am wondering what could went wrong?

My probles is: when i connect my device to PC using same USB cable as yesterday an any other day....it just pop up messenge about slow charger,normalny its pop up if i wanna use cable to move items and stuff from/to my device...but now i just cannot connect my L930 to PC....it just charges my phone...can u guys please tell me how to solve this problem??
It happened to me yesterday. The issue is activating full MTP access. It doesen't work properly. It has a slim chance for your pc to detect the system files. I recommend you use customPDF registry editor to revert the changes (search this forum). Or factory reset will do, but it will be a hassle setting up your phone all over again.

I searched....and tryed that "enable and disable" method in CustomPFD...i seriously dont wanna factory reset my phone...ohhh....that so bad
EDIT: Oh.nothing works....i think i need to do factory reset...when its done ill post next EDIT if it works
You have to do it manually. I found this. This is the exact process i did with cPDF.
navigate this path :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MTP
edit Data Store value to c:\Data\Users\Public and hit Write button .
that's it
Unplug/replug your phon until the system detects it.

Did you restart? And press write like 10x. Unplug your phone, wait. If it did not work, just unplug/replug until your pc detects it.

same problem
Having this issue on my Lumia 830. I did the registry changes (tried combo of upper/lowercase for the registry key) and nothing worked.
Eventually, after trying boot mode (the ! window) I am locked out of all my jailbreak apps. I suspect the boot loader (holding the volume key down until the ! screen loads) locked my capabilities.
Oh well. Windows Recovery Tool says there's new Firmware for the 830 (much newer than what's on my phone). Yet another full restore is in the works for me. Hope anyone reading this doesn't make the same mistake I did!
Hello....I bricked my I927 when I accidently formatted my efs partition when using EFS professional .....my phone boots in download mode.....but only boots till samsung logo screen.....I tried various things like installing stock GB and ICS through odin and installing custom firmware but phone boots onle till samsung logo and then lights up with sone stange colored thin lines and screen goes off.....In TRWP I get a "unable to mount preload" error whenever I try to install somethiing.....I suspect that the EFS partiton is corrupted and needs to be repartioned....I had backupped the efs folder when my phone was working before.....its in a tar format.....I read somwhere that someone made a recovery.zip out of his backedup EFS.IMG and flashed it with CWM solved his problems which were exactly similar to mine.....can somebody on the forum make a recovery.zip for I927 with update binary and script so that I can add the backedup EFS image to it and flash it with CWM? Please.....this would also help many others who are facing similar issues.....and also what do I do regarding the "unable to mount preload" error? I need to repartition and tried to install hemdall.....but get the common .dll error even after following all the instructions and installing C++ 2010.....
Hi, k one thing after the other.
Do you have repartitioned anything?
Do you have adb in place and does adb works when in TWRP?
The easiest thing would be to connect by adb then mount /efs and then restore the efs backup. The good is that you will have a good chance to recover your device. Maybe you need to reformat /efs but that depends.
Which timezone do you live? Maybe a Teamviewer session would be helpful?
.
Thank you for your reply sir...
THANKS FOR THE REPLY SIR....YES I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY AND CONNECT THE PHONE WITH MINIMAL ADB FASTBOOT.....AND AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 2 DAYS CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM USING GOOGLE, I TRIED DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ADB TO GET EFS BACK OJ THE PHONE....BUT WITH NO SUCCESS...... MY EFS BACKUP IS IN TAR FORMAT......IT WAS MADE USING GALAXYSIMUNLOCK BY SPOCKY.....I LATER TYPED IN 'ADB MESG'.....OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT COMMAND, AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE PARTITIONS ON mmcblk0 were mangled up with strange letters.....for eg, p1, p2, p3 and so on had strange characters written next to them.....SO I TRIED TO RE-PARTITION THE WHOLE THING WITH SDPARTED......AND IT RE-PARTIONED THE SYSTEM (AROUND 7000MB).....MMCBLK01 (AROUND 500MB).....AND ANOTHER THING I CANT REMEMBER NOW.....BUT WHEN IT FINISHED THE JOB, IT GAVE ME A mmcblk02 ERROR.....AND WHEN WHEN I CHECKED MY PHONE ON CWM SCREEN, IT GAVE ME A LIST OF CACHE ERRORS.....AND WHEN I SWITCHED OFF THE PHONE AFTER THAT IT REFUSED TO POWER ON.....IT WAS NOT EVEN GOING INTO DOWNLOAD OR RECOVERY MODE.....BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER....SO ITS NOT BATTERY FAULT......I SUPPOSE THAT SINCE THE PARTITIONS WERE FORMATTED THE PHONE BECAME COMPLETELY DEAD......CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY WAY WHERE I COULD GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE USING A 'DEAD PHONE USB FLASH' OR SOMETHING.....AND THEN FLASH A BLANK BOOTLOADER AND THEN WRITE CWM?
I LIVE IN INDIA SIR.....+5.30 GMT.....I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEAMVIEWER.....IS IT AN ANDROID APP? CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE IN DETAIL SIR?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE AGAIN......
Well.. that sounds not that good...
Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) is an easy to use and free remote control software for your PC (it runs on both Linux and Windows). We could do a remote control session if you like. I can try to help but cannot promise anything.
I live in Germany: GMT +1. Send me a PM if you want to give that a try. Next Monday. Tuesday or Thursday would be possible on my site. At least for getting a short overview.

Thank you sir,
Thanks for the reply Sir.....I believe using teamviewer requires a internet connection with good amount of data.....I have an extremely slow 2G internet connection here in India.....I searched google to find some solution for the bricked I927......and came across many posts where people have used the 'unbrick.img' which was specifically made for their samsung phone models on their SD cards to resurrect their dead phones.....The method involves creating a 'unbrick.img' with emmc files extracted from another working I927 and then writing the image on an external SD card with some linux commands or win2image software and then inserting the SD card into the dead phone and switch it on by which it goes to download mode.....once in download mode I can flash CWM or TWRP and also flash stock firmware through odin and recover the phone.....Since your a developer who is well versed in things pertaining to this, can you make a unbrick.img file for the I927 and upload it here Sir? It will be very helpful for others also on the samsung glide subforum, as there is no proper 'hard unbrick' thread for the glide on xda......Ill be very grateful and thankful to you for all your help Sir.....

Ok I have made one. It want to say it was VERY hard to find the correct instructions to do so and therefore I'm absolutely not sure if that will work for you!
Test it if you like but again: I have no idea if that would damage anything more than it is now!
See --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cap...od-unbrick-debrick-hard-bricked-i927-t3285505
If it worked for you (would be like a miracle) then please report back!
If it does NOT work for you please report back, too!
thanks
xdajog

UPDATE:
Besides the link I posted --> Could you please also try the following:
1) Power on your device and directly after that:
2) Press and hold down Vol Up + Vol Down (both the same time)
3) You should see a warning message like the attached one which is the APX mode
4) you need to release the vol buttons immediately after you see the APX mode otherwise it will continue to the non working download mode.
Does teamviewer require internet connection with a lot of data?

Uhm do you have read my above post??
.
1927 wouldn't boot.....Help.
Ohhhh Thank you.....thank you.....thank you for your kind reply Sir.....how good of you to take all your precious time to help me.....I greatly appreciate all your hard work Sir.....wonderful...*.I wanted to download your img file to try it out and when I read the reply of brother Bubor, that the I927 woudnt boot from the SD card when the bootloader is bricked, I was very disappointed. Like I said before, I have a very very slow internet connection with very less data left....and according to brother bubor's reply I doubt this will work....It looked like he was sure that it wont work....I tried to get into APX mode as the link that brother bubor posted had mentioned, but no luck, as the phone is not going into APX mode.....I remember that when I was trying to get to the APX mode the first time, the computer flashed a notification that the APX driver was not successfully installed.....but after that I tried the method more than a dozen times, but the computer was not recognizing the phone to go into APX mode.....Does the phone go into APX mode when the full internal phone system is formatted? I tried your second method on trying to get to APX mode, but nothing happens.....the computer is not recognizing the phone.....The battery had about 30% power in it when the phone got bricked 2 weeks ago.....Dont know if the battery drained all these days of not using the phone.....And even if I get to the APX mode, I have no idea how to proceed from there to repartition the internal phone system and get back download mode.....In the link that brother bubor posted the person who made the thread has made some files to be used when one gets into APX mode.....The PIT and emmc files which are necessary for repartitioning the system and getting the bootloader work are found in that zip file.....But that zip file is for the I9103 Galaxy R.....there isnt something like that available for the I927 yet.....And is brother bubor sure that the unbrick.img file wont work on the I927?
Give it a try with my unbrick image.
we all don't know.

Hi @alvcross: any update on this?
have you tried the SD card unbrick?
You said you cannot open the APX mode but what happens when you press the buttons for accessing the APX mode?
Try it even if you see a blank screen and then connect your Cappy with USB to your computer --> you should get a message about a missing driver or similar.
If that works I tell you how to proceed.

Ok so you may try to install the special apx drivers now. Unfortunately I'm on vacation right now so I cannot upload them elsewhere. I come back to you next week.

Ok could you please try these driver package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
Follow the instructions there for installing
The next step (if the driver would work for you) will be to flash a working PIT to your device to make sure you are using the correct partitions.
Afterwards we will flash the bootloader (may absolutely brick your device if not done correctly) and then --> if all goes fine --> you should be able to flash in download mode whatever you want to.
So it is still a long way to go and I need to check all the steps first before actually we can proceed.
That may take longer so do not expect that this will be something in the next days.. sorry.
Update:
If the above universal driver do NOT work for you: Test these one here View attachment apx_driver_samsung.zip

Thanks for the speedy reply Sir......Ill do as you said and let you know Sir......thank you.....thank you.....thank you Sir....

nvidia apx isnt fastboot/adb device. You can found tool on nvidia site ( more info https://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash ), this tool can read and write whole flash.
Before you could use nvidia's tool, you must send an uniq blob to your phone. APX mode is useless without this blob.
This blob is uniq for every phone.
