Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
hi all...
...I hope that you can help. Some years ago, I have flashed my polaris from o2. i then got myself an iphone and some new computers (using vista now instead of xp), so that I do not have any of the old files that I used back then to flash the phone. my father was using the xda for quite a while now. however, suddenly the device is not working any more: if you turn it on, the boot screen will appear, but then it is stuck and nothing is happening (even no rom info in the lower right corner). also a hard reset doesn't help to overcome this problem.
what I am trying now is to flash it, because I guess (and hope) that this might help. But, to be honest, I completely forgot how this works. I downloaded an original rom from this website today, but I cannot flash it to the device (stuck at 0%, getting an communication problem error). If I turn on the phone with camera button pressed down, the tricolor-screen appears reading POLA200, SPL-3.13.0000, CPLD-2. what am I doing wrong? your help is greatly appreciated.
Try flashing the rom from the tricolour-screen just make sure at the bottom of the tricolour-screen it say's usb not serial.
You will only be able to flash official roms as you don't have a stock spl not hard-spl.
thanks. I tried this one from this forum: RUU_Polaris_o2_GER_1.24.207.2_withSplash_noRadio_schaggo_[fixed]
but it did not work.
however, I now downloaded the rom from the original o2-site and it is at the moment in the process of flashing it - let's cross fingers.
damn, it did not work. I mean, the flashing succeeded, but the problem still persists: if I start the device, the start-screen appears, but that's it - nothing happens afterwards, and after some seconds, the device turns itself off again.
what could that be?
Could be the battery if the device turns itself off,try booting with the charger or usb still in.Or flash hard spl and try a different rom.
hi all friends if you are stuck on 0% and u cant install spl then do this ,,,
You can try this:
1. Stop ActiveSync
2. Open Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) on your PC and
stop these two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. Plug in your device via USB. Your computer should be asking install a driver. Install and continue.
4. Now Run mtty and choose USB in 'PORT'
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.
i hope you will be happy after .. thanks
First off, I know I'm a new member, and I did watch the video, I've been searching the forum for days now trying to find someone with the exact some problem as me but I've come to the conclusion I must be special as I haven't seen this problem else where. Lucky me...
Let me start off with some information about the phone.
Carrier: Vodafone AU (says XSE on the recovery screen)
Baseband Version: I9020XXKI1
Bootloader Version: I9020XXKL1
HW Version: Rev 52
Model: Nexus S i9023
Lock State: Unlocked
Primary computer: iMac
Fairly certain I have USB debugging turned off :\
I rooted and unlocked the phone and was running the latest CyberGR mod ROM and the latest AirKernel kernel. The phone was running brilliantly, not a problem in the world, very smooth, very fast, excellent battery life, I loved it. Only thing I didn't like was how the keyboard became unresponsive at times. For that reason, I think I'll be switching to the Bugless Beast ROM and thalmus kernel when (if) I get this phone fixed.
So a few days ago, the power button on my Nexus S stuffed up and wouldn't work anymore. Completely unresponsive. I couldn't lock/unlock my phone using the power button. I had to either connect/disconnect it from the USB or turn it on/off by taking the battery out to be able to use it. Needless to say, this got very tedious very quickly and I decided to unroot it and send it back to Samsung.
I looked into how to unroot and came across the Odin app and decided that I'd use that to unroot. (noob error on my behalf, I realise now) Regardless of what I'd read, Odin doesn't work on a Nexus S apparently and although I didn't flash to stock, my phone became significantly less useable, half the time it wouldn't respond to anything I did on it. I tried to boot into CWM and although I was able to do so, it was useless as my power button wasn't working.
At this stage, I took out the battery, put it back in and the phone booted up again. I didn't press the power button, it just booted up straight away. I took it out again and held the volume up button on the side and this time, I didn't get put into the CWM menu, but the normal Android recovery menu. I went to press the volume up and down buttons but nothing worked. Power button is still unresponsive.
When I don't boot into recovery, it goes past the Google screen with the unlocked lock on the bottom of it, and goes to a screen where it says "Android" in a metallic style (I disable the boot animation logo in CyberGR mod so I was used to this screen) and it just hung on there, it never booted up past that screen.
Every time I tried to use fastboot -w to wipe the phone, or oem lock or anything, I would just get < waiting for device >
I plugged it into my Windows 7 laptop, tried the one_click_stock app and got the message that my phone has no boot.img. I then googled problems regarding the boot.img and no one really had any solutions that helped me out.
The SDK won't recognise my phone is there, but the sound pops up on Windows saying a device has been connected and disconnected but it never shows up.
Is it bricked or unfixable? Clearly warranty is void, not sure if I should just take it into Vodafone and ask for a new phone (as its still within warranty period, hence why I wanted to lock it and flash a stock ROM).
Very sorry for the lengthy post, I know I was meant to be brief but I thought the more information I could give, the better chance there would be for anyone to help me out. Thanks.
Make the root of your phone with any application in the market and install the recovery ClockworkMod touch with Rom manager premium or Rom toolbox Pro. Restart recovery using Rom manager or Rom toolbox and do a full cleaning on the phone. Wipe only data and cache.
Now, select from mount and storage mount USB storage and copy over to your i9020 storage any rom ( try using the cm9 ). If the installation is successful restart, if not try some other roms. More than that I do not know how to help.
P.s.: In theory it should go smoothly, otherwise I do not assume any liability for further damage to the phone ... Good luck!
Did you know you can operate cwm using the capacitive search button instead of the power button?

Thanks for the reply, I can't actually boot into the phone or get to any market place or any screen that could make the phone useable at all, it just sits on the CyberGR android screen for when you disable the boot animation.

I was pressing the search button (the volume buttons were working when I could boot into CWM) and the text just disappeared off the screen and just showed the logo. I can no longer boot into CWM.
I've installed Ubuntu and I'm going to try running the unrbickable java app that a user on here created, hopefully that may work.
Question:
How to turn back my phone to normal after installing Chainfire 3D v3.3? Or how to uninstall the chainfire 3d driver?
What Happened:
To improve gaming experience, I happen to tumble with Chainfire 3D. I read that this is not compatible with JB. But the notes in the page where I downloaded the Chainfire 3D apk says that it requires ANDROID - 2.1+, so I concluded that JB 4.1 passed the requirement. After installing Chainfire 3D, I installed its drivers, phone automatically reboots, then voila! I am stuck with the SONY logo.
I tried to do some research on how to undo the Chainfire3d installation and i found this:
"To uninstall it I installed ADB, I went to CWM and from console of ADB I executed this: adb shell /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh"
And now my 2nd problem appeared. I CAN'T ENTER THE CWM! T_T
I am wondering why. I remembered entering it when I rooted my phone. (Turn-On, wait for blue led, then press Vol+ and Vol- simultaneously)
But now, it doesn't work anymore. I tried reading some posts here about entering CWM, tried all of them, still no luck.
Now, I am stuck with the SONY logo. What shall I do? T_T
Technical Details:
Rooted Phone: Yes
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
Phone Model: Sony Xperia J ST26i
Android: Jellybean 4.1
Additional Details:
I rooted my phone using some tutorial that includes a fastboot mode. I read somewhere that using fastboot mode has only temporary recovery mode. Thus, it will be impossible for me to enter CWM since it is not existing anymore in my phone?
A shed of light will be greatly appreciated. A solution would be exemplary. Thanks.

Did you read/search the CF thread for similar cases? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
It's better to ask this in the Xperia J forum, i've asked for this thread to be moved, hopefully it'll be done fairly quickly.
I dunno much about Xperia devices.
Yeah, I already read that. Unfortunately, after I installed the Chainfire 3D. This problem of mine actually leads me here to XDA.
And there's no information there either on how to undo it if someone happens to installed it on Android 4.1 and above.
I actually read several threads here so far regarding the chainfire 3D limitiations. But none has any solution to my problem.
I wanna try the solution i found, but I couldn't access my CWM. I also read several posts about entering CWM here. But just I said, all of them didn't worked for me.
The worse case could be, I dont have a CWM yet. Given that that is true, and given that I am stuck with the SONY logo, can I still install a CWM on my phone given these circumstances? I also read that there's no CWM yet for Xperia J 4.1 users yet. T_T
Yes that is what i suspected, that you dont have CWM but rather the stock recovery. But i dunno the flashing procedure of xperia well enough.
Maybe enter fastboot and flash a different rom? cm10?
Hi,
Can you check this link for me?

That's how I rooted my phone. As you can see, I accessed CWM there.
For reference, here's the process:
1. Connect Your Xperia J To Your PC
2. Download This Root File- Root_xperi_signed.zip
3. Copy "root_xperia_signed.zip" file to sd card (ext...)
4. Disconect Your Xperia J and switch it off
5. Launch Xperia flashtool
6. Hold volume + button and connect phone with usb cable to pc, you'll saw blue led light (Now You have entered to Fastboot mode)
7. Download this: Boot.img
8. Copy "boot.img" file to flashtool/firmwares
9. Click on lightening icon in flashtool and click fastboot mode
10. Click "Select kernel to Flash" on right side in flashtool
11. Browse and choose "boot.img" , flashtool will automaticly flash this file
12. Turn off phone after flashing
13. Turn on phone,when you'll see blue light at bottom phone not the small blue led up, start pressing all volume buttons + and - .
14. If you succed,you'll enter to CWM recovery,click "install zip from ext card" and find "root_xperia_signed.zip" file and flash it.
15. After flashing,click reboot system,but don't wait for reboot,just take battery out for few second and put it back
16. Now download: kernal.sin and copy "kernel.sin" file to flashtool/firmwares
17. Follow step 9 and 10.
18. Disconnect phone and Switch It On.
I am thinking, for me to have an access to CWM, maybe i can try to re-do Steps 5 to 13?
What I dont know is that, since I am re-flashing the same image file (back when i rooted my phone), can it result into something unexpected? such as bricking my phone? What's your opinion on this?
Thanks.
Yes, worth a try.
No, i don't think anything odd will happen from flashing that boot.img.
Failed.
I went to all the trouble this guy made, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124668&page=2
I still ended up in SONY logo in the end. Nothing changed.
By the way, how can I turn ON USB Debugging from PC? From the flashtool it says that it's off, where in fact it's always turned ON before this catastrophe happened to me.

Not possible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27745780
But you should be able to flash roms and boot images from fastboot successfully, wonder what's wrong.
Im down to my last resort i guess. Where can I download ROMS/IMAGES?
Here in the Dev and Original Dev forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1976 of xperia j, read carefully though.
same thing happened to me. Here's what fixed it
Yup same thing happened to me with my galaxy s4. Here's what you gotta do. Install SAMSUNG kie. Going to the tools and there will be a option to restore your phone. Click on it and it will have you enter your model number and serial number and this could be found underneath the battery. After doing that will give you a small directions to follow. Then it will download the latest firmware for your device and bring you to the installation screen. Here have you remove your battery and put it back together and boot into download mode. After this it will have a few boxes for you to check and you'll be able to start it. You'll see loading bar come up it will restore your phone to factory settings. Once you get it all set up again you could use kie to make a backup of your phone. Then you'll be all set.
chainfire not work for jellybean
I gave up on finding a solution for this one. I just flashed a stock ROM using flashtool to my Xperia J. Re-installed everything.
One thing I learned though, read before you click. ^_^
For anyone trying to find xperia official firmwares, here's the link:

i even cant anter in cwm what can i do?
Hi Everyone,
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post such question.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) and I still have Android version 2.2.1 installed on it.
I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 7, but I'm having a few problems.
This is the first smartphone I've attempted to modify.
The phone is at the moment unlocked(it was locked to Vodafone Portugal, but I've unlocked it before attempting to modify anything).
I followed the instructions on the Cyanogen MOD wiki page.
But now I'm having a bit of an issue at the moment!!
I was only able to complete the 1st part of the instructions, installing ClockworkModRecovery kernel, but when I try to do the instalation of CM7 itself, I'm unable to!!
If I press Home+Power and release once the Samsung screen logo appear, the screen gets stuck on the phones Samsung logo, doesn't do anything, doesn't go to recovery mode, I waited about 30 minutes and then had to press Power and then it reboots.
If I press Home+Power+Volume Up I get to the 'RAMDUMP ARM9 Mode' screen, doesn't do anything else, pressed Power for a very long time, doesn't power off, had to remove the battery.
If I press Home+Power+Volume Down goes to Download mode, but doesn't do anything either!!! Power off does't work, had to remove the battery aswell!!
This means I'm unable to get to the second part and install CM7!!!
Good news is that if I just press Power to turn the phone On, and let it load, it still works, I can still enter the PIN number, etc, so the phone is still working properly!!!!
I've double checked the applications that I have installed and 'CWM Manager' is showing as installed, but needs SuperUser access to function.
I haven't rooted the phone, and now anything that requires to try to boot in recovery mode is out of the question, because of course I can't get to recovery mode.
I've also tried to root the phone using SuperOneClick
No go!!
Also tried Instant Root:
No go!!
Also tried using Odin Multi Downloader v4.38, but doesn't do anything, it says couldn't find device.
All applications were copied to the phone's sdcard and running from there.
Does anyone know if I can use 'adb' from the Android SDK to root the phone? And how I can do that?
Can someone please provide some more information regarding this?
I have no idea what else to try!!
Thank you very much,
Ricardo,
