hello all
one friend try to upgrade his herald rom but during the ugrading process his computer freeze and the process stop. now the phone doesnt boot.
what he can do?
where can i read manuals for this situation for herald PDA?
thanks a lot
If the flash wasn't a flash to a tmobile (or HTC) ROM, then just hold down the camera button and press the reset button. Place the phone into bootloader mode (3 colors) and just flash it again.
If it WAS a stock flash, PRAY that the SPL didn't get destroyed. If it didn't, then follow the instructions I just gave you. If it did, then search for the goldcard method.
As far as your thread goes, this is the Development forum. For troubleshooting things, please post in the Herald sub forum.

My phone pda i use is the tilt with the titanum rom
Our Cubot P9 has apparently bricked after a manufacturer firmware upgrade.
The firmware was downloaded from the official website, copied to a uSD card and then installed from via the Android System Recovery menu (accessed after cold boot by pressing volume-up & power buttons together).
Having followed Cubots instructions to the letter, we can only think that they have provided a link to the wrong image, despite it ostensibly being the correct one.
Current symptons are: phone still powers but not off again (requires battery removal). There is no ability to enter the fastboot or firmware recovery menus. The display lights-up but with a random/incoherent output.
All the threads, thus far, have included putting the device into fastboot or firmware recovery mode - which is not an option for us.
We'd like to know if this a recoverable situation? If so, what's the next step?
Hi,
If you can't enter recovery or fastboot mode, you won't be able to do much I'm afraid....but I suggest you ask in this discussion thread about your device....

Thanks for the reply.
To put the question another way: in general, when the firmware in an Android
device goes awry, is there any way to recover the device using tools available on the user?
The way we see it is thus:-
In our case it's a Cubot P9 phone but it could just as easily be any other, or even a tablet.
Presumably during development and factory manufacture, there is a means to either load firmware in the first instance or reload it when desired. Short of hardware failure, we're sure that the original device developers have done exactly what we have done a dozen times on the bench.
Given the whole nature of the 'eco-system' is much less proprietary than it used to be (remember Nokia S40 anyone?) perhaps devices like ours are entirely lost to scrap heap?
Considering our device though: it still boots with the brand logo displayed, after which, while the display is completely distorted, the wallpaper and menus are visible. Even the volume & power buttons evoke a response. Atop this are its recognition as removable storage under Windows. Surely this indicates some potential for recovery?
Thanks again.
Perhaps, but if you can't flash anything to the device, you can't do anything. Please ask the folks in the thread I linked....or consult a service centre. ?

Hi everybody;
I'm having big problems with a Lenovo S6000L tablet which became a brick for a while and came to (half) life again because I can get into recovery or fastboot but it won't turn on again further than that after a factory reset. I used SP Flash Tool with (stock, I suppose) rom "S6000_A442_001_025_131017_ww_wifi" which takes me to a "Please button to set the Country Code" again and again to select the Country option but afterwards it will show a time "Timeout Failed".
Before it went wrong I had made a backup of the previous rom using Clockworkmod and the problem is that, after the factory reset, I have lost that CWM recovery and can´t install CWM back again from the rom backup which was ok because SP Flash Tool doesn't seem to install it. Installing CWM would solve my problem but I am scared about flashing the wrong files and get a brick again. Of course , part of the problem is that I can't use MTK Droid Tools to install CWM because apparently Debugging is off and MTK DT doesn't recognize the tablet when connected, which SP Flash Tool does.
So could anybody, please, give a hand to make this half-brick work again?
Thank you.

Hello everyone, first post for me here.
Some friends told me to come with my problem here saying it would be the best place to get help (that will be precious to me)...
I'm really noob on android devices, so please be patient with me.. lol. I apologize already if u dont get what i exactly try to explain with my words..
Here i come : I got a new Huawei G8 (very unpopular one, for my luck again..). I got it rooted a while ago, when i bought it (had to find the ONLY tutorial that was in portuguese and took hours to do it but i did it !)
I have on it installed TWRP.
Yesterday in the night, my phone asked me to update. So did i. What i didnt know is that it was not gonna boot on android again. So to be clear : everytime i try to set my device on, it goes straight on TWRP recovery tool or if i do specific move (power + volume up i think) that just send me to the "Fastboot & rescue mode", telling me to connect my device to my PC and open HiSuite (what will just not do anything cause HiSuite wont detect it). >> HiSuite wont detect it but i can open it and get files in or out of internal or external storage.
I already tried to flash a firmware i downloaded on Huawei's website but then it just says "zip file corrupt". I also noticed that in the zip file i downloaded was a tar.gz file.
I also downloaded from a link i found in a tutorial a .rar file with in it the dload and CUSTOM folders with .APP files. Then copied it on my SDcard and tried to turn my device on to make it auto update with these files (power + both volume buttons). The thing is i cant even make it boot like that cause when i try pushing both volume buttons + power button it instantly turn on and booting on TWRP ...
I'm so sorry I cant explain properly what i did but i hope you will understand what the problem is and maybe lead me to find the right procedure to get my phone back... I'm sure I missed a lot of important informations but just ask me and i'll answer with pleasure, ill just check this post every hour..
So if someone knows any way to get my phone working back, even if it means i will lose all my datas and start over, thats really not a big deal.
Thanks a lot if you people read this and try to help me..

Please help, i have been everywhere on the net and tried every possible method presented. adb, side load, factory reset, wipe/cache. nothing works. rooted my phone, later unrooted because i was gonna take it to be fixed because softkeys stopped workin, but downloaded button savior instead. then eventually wanted mt phone root again. forgot to adb "reboot disemmcwp" first. long story short, bricked phone, stuck at zte logo. i can enter the recovery mode. but it will not allow me to update from sd card for some reason. my usb debugging is not turned on. and most importantly I cannot for the life of me find stock rom or any other rom for this damn phone. as mentioned, i already did factory reset and wiped my data but it did not solve issue. i read in another forum that disabling certain apps could cause a soft brick after doing a factory reset, i did have some apps disabled. so dont know if that is the cause. I know how to flash firmware, roms, and recoveries. But i cannot find a custom rom, or a custom recovery for the ZTE Prestige N9132......so can someone please give me a copy of the stock firmware, or kindly direct me as to where i can download it???? I have scoured the internet for literally 4 days now and cannot find any firmware for this model phone at all......PLEASE HELP!!
I would be satisfied if i could even get a custom rom or recovery, if not the stock firmware would be fine. just please show me where i can download it from
Hi !
Unfortunately there is no dedicated forum for your specific device that more users can gather and discuss
We don`t have a firmware section here on XDA , if you want to request it you may do it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help though I see that you have already done it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71152939&postcount=5
So let`s wait for users with a similar device to reply
Good luck
