Owned 65P8e for 3 years and worked fine until today when i plugged it in and standby light was rapidly flashing and then says "No command" and loops on and on and on.
I downloaded and plugged in a usb stick with "V8-R851T02-LF1V302.013602_IMG_USB_GMC.zip", I unzipped it properly into img and it did state sucessful install
However after it finishes installing it goes black again and then the standby light flashes again, repeating the installing process.
I tried removing the usb and starting the tv again, now it says "Error!" instead of "No command"
Any form of help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Try another flash drive. If it doesn't work out, take a more recent firmware, there are enough of them!!! I once sat for half a day to install.Of the 4 flash drives, only 1 came up.Loaded from the shelf.Good luck.

Im updating the first post mentioning my observations so that one can read all my post in one place without hassel.
Friends, please help me with my bricked Epic.
My Epic was running on SRF 1.2
For couple of days it went fine.
But yesterday the problem started when I plugged in the Phone on Mass Storage mode. My computer said some erron on SD card and asked me to find and fix any errors.
I formatted the SD card using CWM 3.1.0.1.
Then I decided to go back to Stock EC05 and tired to flash the rom using Odin.
I've done it many times before. so Well aware of the steps needed.
But while flashing the Rom.. Odin hanged on factoryfs.rfs.
So I unplugged and tried again and again. But now the rreal issue start.
My computer do not recognize the phone anymore in download mode
On pressing power on botton or Volume Down+Cam+ power button.. NOTHING HAPPENS.
However I can boot into Download Mode (on battery only).
1) Computer do not recognize USB Drive. (tried uninstalling drivers > rebooting > reinstalling > rebotting ) still USB device not recognized. Even tried with different USB cable. And different ports.
2) However I managed it on my other computer. Where only 1 out of 4 USB port recognize my device.
3) Tried Odin to flash EC05 Stock... It hangs at some place or the other, and screen goes off or some times Solid Cyan (very rare).
4) Phone do not restart in Download mode without battery.
I tried to boot download mode without battery (plugged into computer).. but it wont.
Battery+USB = phone wont boot in download mode.
Phone boots to download mode only on Battery.
After that If i plug in the phone and remove the battery.. screen still stays on.
I went thru many threads but still having same problem.
Please help.

Try a different tar. I prefer dI18. A lot of people have problem on the ec05 tar and odin. Also if you can gt into download mode you are sponged. Not bricked. Hope this helps

I just had this problem. I ended up reinstalling the drivers (like you did) and restarted my computer a few times. When that didnt work i got a new usb cable. the new usb cabe didnt work for crap... but then i used the old one and for some reason it just started to work. i also was putting the tar in phone slot, it would start but hang up at that same spot... i had to put it in the pda slot.
yeah i always used PDA slot for tar. pit in pit.
Odin 1.6
victory pit
Re-partition/auto reboot/f. reset time all checked
also tried with: auto reboot checked only
downloading DI18. like notsosmrtgeek suggested.
hope this works.
Tried DI18.
With Victory Pit.
Odin: 1.61
Screen goes White on sbl.bin
well after I tried with DI18 rom which was still a failed attempt.
atleast now when I switch on the phone... i can see a screen with a logo..
tiny mobile phone -- "!" in a yelow triangle -- tiny computer
tried to flash DI18 again with Re-Partition/Auto reboot/F. Reset Checked.
as usual hanged @ sbl.bin
but now when i start my phone i can see Samsung logo.
So if your computer is incapable of recognizing your phone, you are mostly screwed. I would say try a different computer. If that does not work, your last chance is to either make or buy a programming cable. The programming cable will force the recognition of your phone for reasons I do not understand.

i just experienced a complete brick yesterday.. led didn't even turn on when plugged in to charge. couldn't boot into download mode. thought i was screwed.
i pulled the battery and the sdcard... let it sit for like 10 minutes. i kept hitting the power button just to clear any residual charge in the system. (i swear, i never got superstitious about electronics until this phone... ok, and the whole blowing in nintendo cartridge thing when i was 5 )
put the battery back in, with sdcard.. WAS ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE -- YES!!!
i used odin1.3 to flash eb13... kept stalling several times (but each time it seemed to go further before stalling and giving me a yellow screen, then a red screen, then a blue screen, etc) so i figure at least i was making progress...
finally i was able to get it all the way through flashing eb13 in odin1.3..
i experienced a lot of similar things as you: computer not "recognizing" my device, the stalling in odin... hope this helps.

link to Odin 1.3 plz..?

i tried odin1.6 yesterday and that just wasn't working for me, either that or the ec05 tar file was messing me up... but good 'ol trusty Odin1.3 helped me out... note tho that i did have to flash a couple times (each time i went successively further before failure)
good luck!
Here is something new i noticed.
When i go to download mode without the battery and try to Odin flash..
after some time it seems like the phone goes off for a second then I see the battery charging logo on the screen (0% batter).
needless to say that odin freezes.
When I plug in the phone with batery in my phone.. battery charging logo appears @ 0%.
charged the batter for 1 hr.. but still the logo shows 0%.
oh yea, might be a good idea to remove sdcard while flashing in odin just in case
thank you for the link cache.
btw: should i use the same victory pit file with EB13?
use the pit that comes with the odin1.3 download

I have had a Kindle Fire since they day they came out. I immediately disliked the stock Rom so I ran the kindle fire utility and installed Fire Fire Fire and TWRP, rooted it, and installed CM7 Rom which has been working great. Transferred files and programs between my PC and Kindle with no issue for months. Now with all the ICS roms available and working I decided to try and upgrade to one of those and thats when everything went wrong. Its in a bootloop and the triangle appears, fades, lights up again and immediately boots to TWRP. I have flashed the entire kindle using TWRP trying to get everything off of it. Upon plugging it into my PC BRIEFLY when the triangle logo pops up I get a "USB device not recognized" on my PC. I have tried using KFUtility to reinstall drivers, tried uninstalling n reinstalling drivers but the same thing happens. I cannot use TWRP to mount at all, nothing happens. Kindle Fire UTility keeps saying adb offline, CMD adb devices also results in 0 devices found. I have tried putting it on normal boot using both ADB and KFUtility and it says "wait for device" and nothing ever happens. Any idea? Not even sure if I have a rom installed on my kindle anymore but my PC wontread it so I cannot push another image to it. Got a plane trip on Saturday and would love to have this working to kill the bordom lol. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like your bootmode is set to recovery. An easy way to fix this is download FFF1.4 to your computer and use the mount function in recovery to place it on your sdcard.
Flash it in recovery as you would a rom except don't wipe anything. When you reboot, hold the power button like you're trying to enter recovery and you'll be given the option to reset the bootmode.
Thank you so much for your advice but there in lies the problem. Inside the recovery console i choose to mount it and nothing happens. My PC will not let me access the kindle in anyway at all, either mounting the SD Card or via ADB/KFUtility.

Generally, the only thing that would prevent adb/kfu from communicating with the device is the drivers. Make sure they're installed properly. You may have to uninstall them (delete if applicable) and reinstall them.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install and verify your drivers.

K heres the latest (we r making progress!)
I got my device to be detected by my PC and used KFutility to change it to normal boot. Now instead of booting into recovery everytime it boots normally.... to a black screen (guessing my rom is shot or I deleted it while playing with it). The issue is the ONLY time my PC recognizes my kindle is for a .5 second period when i first turn my KF on and the yellow triangle appears. I can use this window to change it to normal bootmode, reinstall TeamWin, stuff like that, but i cannot mount it so I can transfer or adb so I can push. You can watch device manager and it'll pop up ADB android phone or whatever it should but poof, a second later gone.

Get your device drivers working so you can use adb. Follow the instructions in the post below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26144447
That is excellent advice and I wish it would work but I cannot pull up ADB once in TeamWin. Keeps saying no devices. As i said my PC detects it and ADB will detect it for .5 seconds on the orange triangle. Once the orange triangle disappears and it either boots to blackness or boots to TeamWin ADB stops recognizing my device. But I will play around with your suggestions once I get off work and let you know what i find out. Thanks again for everyones support.
Frozen screen during rooting
Hi,
I am new to the forum. I have a kF screen stuck (where it says 'kindle fire') while I was trying to root it. I tried hard reset, charging for half hour, calling AMAZON...nothing works. The screen goes off if I hold it for 20 seconds but when I put it back on same thing. I was trying to root it with 'fastboot (?). Is there anything at all I can do? Thanks.

Don't hijack the threads please. If you have a problem or question, post it in the Q&A section.
I have been reading these forums ALL day, i have a factory cable and ive done everything I can think of as of now.
Earlier today I pulled the battery out of my kindle fire and put a dead one in its place (not knowing it was dead of course). After I realized the battery was dead I put the old one (100%) charged back in.....thats where everything went HORRIBLY wrong..
When I turn it back on it just goes to the boot screen "Kindle FIre" (non animated), stays there for about 10 to 15 seconds and then flashes and goes right back into the same exact screen. I can get it to go into fastboot with the flashing green traffic light (using my factory cable) but the problem is windows will not identify the device, its listed under the device manager as unknown. when I manually pointed it to the Andoid ADB driver it says error 10 (the device failed to start
I am completely lost, Idk what to do and if anybody can help me I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks

I had the same problem and the ONLY thing that worked for me was to copy all driver files to \windows\system32. You will probably find these files at C:\Program Files\Amazon.com\Kindle Fire\Drivers. Just select the 'DLL's from the appropriate flavor of architecture and the android_winusb.inf and copy them directly to \windows\system32. Hope this helps
So last night I was rooting a Kindle Fire 2. It's running 10.2.6. I was following a tutorial on this forum and I succeeded in rooting it. I flashed TWRP on it, but for some reason that didn't work. I tried booting to recovery and got a red triangle with an exclamation point inside it. It said it failed to boot. The device still worked at that point during the install. It was low on battery, though I had it plugged into my laptop. I was in fastboot and the device stopped receiving commands from it for some reason (I wasn't able to figure out why). Then the battery died. I guess a laptop usb port doesn't properly charge a tablet. But anyways, I plugged it into a wall charger for a couple hours and now it won't turn on. When I plugged it in, a charging light never came on. I used this same charger earlier in the evening and it charge the Kindle with no issues whatsoever, so I know it isn't the charger or cable failing to charge the device.
So here is where I stand:
When it died, it would still successfully boot
I was in fastboot when it died
Fastboot would not take commands from my laptop, whereas it had before I tried flashing TWRP (by that I mean when I try to send commands via the command line, it would simply say <waiting for device>)
The device is successfully rooted and bootloader unlocked
I've tried pulling the battery; I've tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, for 30 seconds and for short periods of time; I've tried any possible command from the computer. I haven't tried a factory cable because I don't have one. What do I do now?
Since you rooted and unlocked the boot loader... No warranty...so I guess try flash stock ROM...
Sent from my mighty Xperia Arc S
It won't turn on for me to do that in the first place, though.
Mods - I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum. I apologize for that.
I've got a dead oneplus 5t from my son. It was not charging anymore.. So I've replaced charging cable and battery.. Seemed to work it was charging... However it doesn't boot... No logo screen screen stays black/blank.
Tried several suggestions on this forum to get into recovery mode, fastboot mode... But still nothing. Only vibrating works after a few seconds.
So tried to unbrick with OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling_43_J.40_181105(OOS.5.1.7) and the qualcomdrivers..
I was able to install the drivers and I see they are installed in devicemanagement.. and an empty folder create for oneplus.
I charged the phone all night and was able to download the upgrade. It then says download complete and I tried to restart the phone..
Still just vibrating but nothing happens.. Seems like everything has vanished from the phone, no recovery, no bootloader, no files.
So how to proceed to get all the stuff on the phone? And maybe the displayscreen is dead, but how can I tell?
Also tried the SMT upgrade. Strange thing is the device and com port are seen in devicemanagement and active when I connect without volume up, but cannot start because it says When I try to use smt mode the program says: "This COM port is disable by user". With volume button up pressed and then connect, ledlight turns green but the qualcomdevice is grayed out in devicemanagement and it says waiting for device..
Any help is welcome. I am a noob in how to proceed on the phone however I have an IT background.
Spent already so many time figuring out .. maybe it's effortless and its for the trashbin.
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
I opened the phone again loosened all those tiny connections to battery, screen,charger, mainboard and re-attached them.. Somehow a connection seemed to be fitting allright as yI looked at it, but apparently wasn't :good:
