How to reload the default software back to HTC Excalibur

Hello,
Need your guys help urgently. I have a HTC Excalibur, but recently did not power ON for about afew weeks, and now when I power ON, it will just hang at the booting green page showing "Windows Mobile Direct Push Technology", and can never goto the main screen at all, suspected that the software corrupted.
Please help, I have tried to use the Activesync but it does not detect my HTC Excalibur. Is there any way to reload back the default software/firmware image back to the device? like BlackBerry device, there's a software application and can use the Desktop Manager Application Loader to reload the software/firmware back to the device, is there such similar way for HTC Excalibur? Or any alternatives to resolve this issue?
Please HELP, any kind soul expert out there to help?
Thousand of thanks.

They are 2 ways that You can get the bootloader screen back, by connecting your phone to your PC via USB, catch this {although the phone may look like it's not connected to your PC via active, but it is connected, you will not see the green Active sync icon on your PC at this time, but you phone is still connected to your PC via active sync}, understand this...!
Next, while your phone is connected to your PC via active sync, push and hold the camera button for several seconds, keep trying until the color screen appear {BootLoader screen}, should the BootLoader screen appear, You will have to install a 6.0 ROM back in your device, before you put a 6.1 ROM on your device.
If the above method should fail, this is another method, but kind of difficult, soft reset your mobile device, while your phone is coming back up, press and hold down the the 2 soft key {Home Key and Back Key} and the camera buttons at the same time, until the color screen comes up, you may have to try this several times, be patient. Should the color screen come up, install a 6.0 ROM back on your device before installing a 6.1 ROM to your device. These 2 method have worked for me and others in the past......!

Redo the hard reset and try again. Also, I suspect that your screen is frozen (watch for changes in dot view mode, like time and battery percentage). It might also be that your tactile screen isn't working anymore and requires a change.

Sorry, this is completely unrelated from the current topic but I reallly need help..I tried to flash a rom on my HTC but thr preloader got corrupted xo my phone go hard bricked. Pluging the phone into a computer just shows a red led and the computer shows nothing in device manager.
I tried uninstalling the MTK Preload VCOM driver and reinstalling it but that still didn't work.
Even pressing volume keys while connecting still gave nothing.
I also tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting the phone to the computer but still nothing.
If there is anyone, please help me.....
I need to unbrick my phone................... I am begging, please help me.

When my E9 got hard bricked, I sent it to a repair shop. They took a long time, but they brought it back to life.
Now, I had a hard brick issue with a Lenovo P1M Vibe (also a MTK device). I solved it using SP TOOL and the proper files. I don't know why the app suddenly decided to detect my phone after dozens of tries. But, during my research, I found interesting articles:
How to get a PC detect and MTK device after flashing wrong ROM/Firmware (Test Point method)
Download the latest & updated stock rom firmware of popular phones like samsung, tecno, itel, infinix, etc with flashing & upgrade tools & instruction

As for the software part of the solution:

You will need additional files for your phone during this process. You can find them online.

Screen Don't Respond after OTA Upgrade SM-R825U GWA2

Hello!
I would like to ask help, if possible with my watch fixing.
I received in my phone the warning about the R825USQU1CUA2 upgrade by OTA samsung upgrade system, and I checked prior to accept the upgrade if maybe some issues detected, since I had installed the BP and ECG apps in my watch and SamsungHealth modded app in my phone with my previous software version.
In fact, few months ago, I completed the previous OTA firmware update without issues and the BP, ECG and SamsungHealth apk was working great and syncing!...so since was no reports of issues and no problem with my previous OTA upgrade process, I start the upgrade OTA upgrade process of the latest R825USQU1CUA2 firmware version for my watch, and it ends fine and everything seems well.
However, just a minutes after end the upgrade, I checked and found that meanwhile everything seems normal, the ECG start to plot crazy and not working as before... I was thinking that maybe some corruptep tpk of ECG and leave my watch aside.Couple hours later I checked my Watch and found it with the screen No responding well, seems very very lag in detecting touches in screen, but buttons working normal.
Then I choose to full reset my watch and after reset finish, I barely could use few touches to almost complete process and connect with my phone but the screen detection of vertical and horizontal swipes was Not detected by then. So I send my watch to Samsung service, and they said to me that as is an USA region model, they not able to reflash firmware, and that only way is to assume the costs of replace screen and ahardware by a high costs...
So, I recover my Watch without any works made by samsung service, and then look for the info and read the tuorials around here in XDA, about reflash by my own my watch wit NetOdin and proper firmware files.
So I paid and downloded the firmwares R825USQU1CUA2 and R825USQU1BTJ6, that was the latest and latest previous for my watch model from the website "Full Stock Firmware", and all the process and zips seems fine, so I try at first to full flash my watch with NetOdin with the R825USQU1CUA2 (already installed in watch by OTA upgrade), But NetOdin FAILS with an error "Not Supported Files"... but the files are the same version, so I try also with the other previously version R825USQU1BTJ6, with the same error...
Since by now my watch is still botting fine in Recovery menu, and also connects fine to Wireless Download to my PC, I choose to halt, and prefer to ask here for help, because I dind tunderstand why the file is not flashing in my watch, and would like to avoid brick more my watch. By Now the screen is not responding anymore, however the watch respond fin by buttons and seems to boot to initail screen fine but no responds to any touchscreen button (however, round the border son clicks are feel but no action on screen is show)
I add screen shots of the errors if may help that somebody here could help.
Please excuse my long post, but I prefer to detail in order to avoid confusion and may be more usefull if somebody could help. Bets regards

First of all, please excuse about my long initial post... I may guess if may be bother and not encourage to help...
Well, said above... by now I paid and try, 2 different combination firmwares (FT55_R825USQU1ATK1 and R825USQU1AUA4) that I found on web for SM-R825U model, but sadly, they make my situation worst...
I flash them as AP partition, and the process starts and seems to go fine, but at almost 99%, NetOdin Shows FAIL and ends the flash process, with error.
"Fail : Not supported files"
By now my watch still boots on recovery menu and also connects fine with Wifi, and NetOdin reocgnizes it, but if I try to flash the AP partitions of the Stock Firmwares that I have. NetOdin aborts process with the same error:
"Fail : Not supported files"
So, by now, I am without clue why NetOdin refuses to recognize the Stock Firmware files as supported and why didn't allow me to flash the AP or none of the other partitions with the Stock Firmware files...
If may be possible, for some friend around here, to help or may be a suggestion/clue, about this NetOdin Fail, I really appreciate it, and would be very gratefull.
Thaks for kind attention and best regards.

I am soo lazy at the moment. And playing Evolution 2 Game.. Battle for Utopia...
IMHO few posts and/or threads with answers...
Again I am lazy...
If still no solution and it seems other users also la... ehm busy...
You can write Conversation/Private Mail to me...
Maybe I can stop few seconds playing Evolution 2 for you.
Best Regards

Oh... okay...
Time for tiny hint...
netOdin "talks" to you... you see in your Screenshots Log...
With 7Zip Tool you can identify this additional crap...
And it is possible to repack...
Reason for this... only 1 netOdin Version leaked...
And this Version is very old... IMHO 5 years or something close to this...
Samsu.g is "famous" for funny and useless ehm powerfull changes to motivate end users...
Especially if we use sto.en Software unauthorized...
Best Regards

Next hint is...
Rollback Prevention CRAP
Alphabet skills usefull to identify old and maybe more dangerous "outdated" Firmware Files...
Seems better I continue to play Evolution 2.
Best Regards

Hi @adfree and thank for take time to help.
I would PM you and thank for kind help.

Need help with hardbricked phone

Hi, something went wrong while trying to install pixelExperience on my redmi note 8 pro. It doesn't reach any screen, no fastboot, no recovery, no boot screen. The notification led light up when connected to the PC, but no charging screen.
I was installing pixelExperience 11 with no error, but it never booted up after rebooting.
I'm currently trying to flash rom downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with SP flash tool. I'm using the version from UnbrickRN8ProNoAuth, it says it worked, but the phone won't start.
The booloader was unlocked, I tried both the global and the europe version. I don't know what to try now, any suggestion ?
What could be the problem, I was expecting that flashing the official rom would at least get me to the boot screen.
Thanks !

Hello to me, exactly the same thing happened to me when installing pixel experience, you follow all the steps of UnbrickRN8ProNoAuth
to use python, driver, libusb, bypass and finally spflashtool with the dafiles and the authfiles?
I use the version with this method is this:
https://c.mi.com/thread-3612344-1-0.html
With that I was able to start the mobile and the fastboot mode worked again, apparently it is a bug when entering pixel experience if you have firmware 12.5 that sometimes causes the brick, try that version it worked for me. a greeting
ps: especially remember to use the auth_sv5.auth in the program
and MTK_AllInOne_DA_mt6765_mt6785, if everything is correct you should get a green check, I tell you because first the program checks the rom if it is correct, do you connect it by pressing the 3 buttons at the same time?

Hey, thx, I'll try with this version then !
Yes I have the green check, and I connect the phone with only the vol+ pressed.
I need to do the bypass every time, is that the normal behaviour, and is there another step I should redo ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because of the preloader mode I never use volume + I always use the 3 buttons, so I added the "libusb filter" the bypass I don't know exactly what it is for, but the 2 times that I used the mediatek program and I used it, I just look at it, and according to github it is used for: "Small utility to disable bootrom protection (sla and daa)" and according to google the bootrom: "Bootrom (or Boot ROM) is a small piece of ROM mask or write-protected flash embedded inside of the processor chip. It contains the first code that the processor executes when turning on or resetting. "Enteoria, if it doesn't write you that data from version 12.0.4, it doesn't turn on, follow all the steps correctly with the rom that is shared with you. above and I should start your phone.

It's working again !!
I searched for a similar version but global, and installed it (https://c.mi.com/thread-3565279-1-0.html)
Thanks a lot.
If that can help someone, this time I had an error on the 4th step, it wasn't finding my phone whereas the step 5 could. I had to rerun step 3.
Now I have to choose between settling with this version or trying again ^^ did you manage to install pixelExperience in the end ?

Hi, I'm glad you fix it in the end, the rom that you put is the same, it only changes that mine is the europe version and yours is International, the google patch also changes,
In the end, if I could install pixel from 12.0.4 to pixel 12, from 12.5 the firmware is different and there are many bricks, I bricked myself just like you did not turn on anything, when going from 12.5 to pixel 11, from 12.0 no It opens up risks of going to pixel 11 or 12.
in the end, you can only install pixel 12, wanting to put 11 could not mount the system and the provider
The problem that the cameras do not work well in pixel, even installing gcam they go lag and not all of them work, not even the 64mpx mode, right now I am in miui stock with bootloader closed again. the cameras are important to me, greetings

I did it, A11 on a MTCE device

Hardware:
Isudar PX6-VW0907
Software:
SDDiskTool_v1.59
ha3_11_rk3399_11.0_烧录包(20220316).zip
HCT8 ANDROID 11 OTA UPDATE (20220412 )
I created a bootable SD card using SDDisktool and the image and flashed the A11.
After that I had this picture:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Now I imported the HTC8 Update.zip and the error was gone:
The main reason for flashing was that you can no longer import Chrome updates with the Hal firmware.
At first glance, I really miss the lock screen.
I haven't tested more yet.
Be careful, do it at your own risk.
I had to try several different SD cards and storage adapters before it worked.

I don't understand ... why is it so important to update chrome?

Nothing, but I have automatic updates turned on and if the browser stops working when I need it, that's not nice.

did you use the img with the HA3 launcher right?
Can you please tell the options of the SDDiskTool?
Have you choose Upgrade Firmware or the SD boot?
Also how many gigabyte was the sd card you are using?
My problem is that my unit cant locate the bootable sd card and I cant upgrade the bootloader for android 11. I get black screen. I have succeed to upgrade the bootloader from 9 to 10 but now its not working. I am using the same docking station HD100 and the same sd cards. I start to change the uboot file of tool. I cant understand where the problem is... whatever.
I will wait for the developers to create something more stable for the bootloader.
Thanks anyway

i use this SDDisktool.
Yes the HA3 Image.
Firmware upgrade.
32GB Samsung.
Flashing took at least 20 minutes.

why don't you remove automatic updates only to chrome and android system webview?
Do you give up a great mod just for this?

From the mod I only use the lock screen and the MTCDialer. If the dialer doesn't work, I'll switch back.
I haven't tested everything yet.

[MTCD/E] Android 10 upgrade using official Free tools
To upgrade a MTCD/E PX3, PX5, PX6 from Android 6+ on using official Rockchip free tools - a reminder, bringing together multiple threads. First note - if coming from Android 6 - early versions of Realtek dual BT/WIFI (type 2) are not supported...
forum.xda-developers.com

Okay its the method with the USB A-A cable.

Test after 2 days:
Google apps work, probably because Play Protect is certified.
Dialing with MTCDDialer works, but not with "Hey Google".
Unfortunately no lock screen.
I can connect with WIFI WPA2/WPA3, not possible with Hal firmware.
It was already possible with the latest A10 update (HCT7r_rk3399_10.0_ota(20211012)).
Otherwise everything has remained the same so far.
I flashed the Hal firmware again.

Any chance of checking if "this feature is not available on this device" is showing when trying to enter "ethernet" on the headunit's settings? I've got the same head unit as you (but with stock rom) and I'm trying to use a 3g/4g usb modem with a sim card for internet acces but with no luck..

I can't say that, I'm back on A10.
