o2 xda II

hello you guys
first of all may i say what a great help you guys have been in the past. but i messed up. i updated to another rom this dir had a ms.nbf file in it. previously when i rebooted i had an o2 logo. then after this flash i had a qtek logo. but the software itself was extremely slow. and it did not seem to clear my previous setup as i now had two of each icon. reflashing with one of rom i found here and then i had three icons of each. and suddenly i had an imate bootup splash screen. where is all this info stored and how can i clean all these roms and start fresh with one of c_shekhar's roms. i understand the the radio part and the the wm5 part but the rest is confusing. please help

10. Now you have to hard reset your device.
Press simultaneously: Reset Button + CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(to select items use Record Button, to change values use Camera Button)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
should delete the storage of the former rom

perfect it worked like a charm. thank you very much Rudegar. much appreciated. i have another problem still. my memory card is not working at all. it does not see it at all. im using C_ShekharAKU3.5b.R40.P24_public rom and the operating system is perfect other than the fact that my memory card does not work. but if i slide it in with the 2577 dir on it it installs the probrams perfectly. im confused it can access it but does not alow me to go there.
thank you for the help

Tilt powers off at Windows screen

I have an at&t Tilt. I am having a problem with the device automatically powering off during the Windows screen while loading.
To get to where I am at:
1. I followed the instruction to install the HardSPL from HERE. On my bootloader screen, I see:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
2. Then I did the Sim Unlocker procedures found HERE. After completing step 5, the device rebooted, the AT&T icon displayed, then the screen goes blank and stayed that way.
3. I found the fix for the black screen problem HERE. It was a radio problem, and I needed to update the radio to a compatable radio.
4. My phone worked fine for a day. The next day, my phone just died and when I rebooted, it said critically low battery. After I tried to charge it overnight (with AC adapter charger), it was still critical low battery. Then I tried USB charger for the day, still critical low battery. I figured it was a SPL-Radio conflict.
5. Then it stops getting into Windows altogether. It will power off at the Windows loading screen. I let it charge all day. I suppose that the battery is not dead because it is able to stay on the Tri-Color screen without being plugged in, and it always turns off at the same exact point while loading Windows.
6. I still can get to the tricolor screen. I can see USB when plugged and serial when unplugged.
7. I can flash ROMS, and I will even see the different Windows loading screens (Dutty's screens are different than the AT&T green Windows screens.) I have tried original AT&T and cooked WM6.0 Roms/Radios, WM6.1 Roms/Radios. It still keeps rebooting at the Windows loading screen. I tried the original and cooked roms from HERE.
8. I tried accessing the phone via MTTY and use the "boot" command. I still don't fully understand the boot command and what exactly it does, but from my understanding, it resets the boot loader chip.
9. I would like to update the SPL -- instructions HERE. But since I can't fully boot the phone, I can't actually run the Soft SPL (JumpSPL).
Please... any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Try to charge through the usb port on your computer... I have had a similar issue, but that was full stock and still have the issue. HTC chargers wont work for me but select moto ones will. Does the orange light come on when you connect by USB to your computer?

I have tried charging through the USB port on my computer (as well as AC Adapter). It does show the amber light on top (for both methods), but no matter how long I charge it, it will never get to the fully charged green light.
I haven't tried a different (non HTC) charger, but I will try that next.

Are you sure the SIM card door is locked? My phone reboots on its own during start-up if the SIM door is nor properly locked into place...

I just tested the sim card cover. It will reboot at the same point even if the cover is on of off. However, I do believe the cover is sitting correctly, because if I'm at the white AT&T boot screen and remove the cover, the phone will power off.

have you tried hard-resetting your tilt before and after flashing? I had the same problem before. Try to do a hard reset, flash a stock ROM for your tilt, then hard reset afterwards. If same thing happens again, we'll try another method

Put phone in tricolor mode and connect with MTTY.
Type "info 8" and post output here. I suspect problem is caused by bad sectors in the OS area.

There a few different forums on this same subject, and I had the exact same experience on a brand new kaiser last week and thought it was dead. Yea, your gonna have to do a hard reset holding down the power and camera buttons then clicking the soft reset button to get to tri color bootloader mode before it dies, then plug into pc and reflash the official htc rom. It seems like a one time phenomenom as my Kaiser is running just fine now as I was three seconds away from flushing it down the toilet

I have tried a hard reset before and after flashing the ROM. The method I used was pressing down the two buttons on the front of the phone then soft reset (one above internet button and one above mail button)... then I am prompted with a white screen saying, "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturers default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel." Please let me know if this method is wrong.
I actually haven't tried the official HTC rom because my phone is originally an AT&T phone. I have tried the official AT&T rom, including the WM6.0 and WM6.1, but I will try the HTC rom now. It won't hurt to try!
UPDATE: After hard reset --> Load official HTC Rom 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) --> hard reset again. Still does the same thing... still rebooting during Windows load. The only difference, no more AT&T screen during bootup... now it's a "smart mobility" message.

my OS is writing in bad blocks before that's why it's rebooting over and over again. What I did was use jocky's frankenkaiser (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393337). This WIPES OUT ALL DATA IN YOUR KAISER and you need to restore it back again. FOR THIS YOU NEED TO FLASH THE RADIO FROM HELL (get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182) AND AN OLD SPL which you have right now. Read the directions carefully-- it's not that hard but also not for the faint-hearted. Goodluck!

I know you specifically said to get the radio from hell, but after reading jockey's guide, I got the other radio that GSLEON3 successfully got working with FrankenKaiser. Now I'm stuck because it didn't work out for me. I used radio 1.64.08.21 rather than the actual radio from hell 1.65.17.10. Hopefully GSLEON3 and Jockey will be able to help me with this one.

Can't recall I published FrankenKaiser for radio 1.64.08.21
Here is is:

ooops... replied to your pm it seems jocky sent you the correct one already. Good luck mate

Losing hope....
Well, I successfully completed the FrankenKaiser process, updated my SPL to reflect:
Security Unlocked
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.1.JockyW
CPLD-8
I am still getting the power off while Windows loading.
I even tried to load back the original radio from hell (1.65.17.10) and completely ran through the FrankenKaiser process hoping somehow it would fix the problem... but unfortunately, it did not work.
1. Maybe I'll try a few more rom/radio combinations
2. At least I can re-use FrankenKaiser to get back to factory SPL when I attempt to go through the warranty process.
Any other suggestions??? Please let me know.
***Thanks for the help so far Jockey and pfcsabre***

I also have the at&t tilt kaiser version and used the North American Rom update from the HTC website to get it back up. Have you tried getting into tri color bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons then clicking the soft reset button then connecting to pc and flash the the official rom? That's what worked for me

also, are you getting any kind of notifications before it shuts down?

I have NOT been flashing this way. I have been flashing anytime I get to the tri-color screen, rather than this exact procedure you noted. (Tricolor bootloader--> then soft reset and back to tricolor bootloader) I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I just tried your method with the rom from the HTC website AT&T Official Rom Download from HTC Website. Still no luck. It still turns off at the Windows screen.
Also, I do not get any kind of notification at all. It always resets before or at the Windows Mobile 6.X screen. I do get a distinctive chime the majority of the time right as it shuts down.

I was having random power down issues as well. This may or may not be the same as your problem, but mine ended up being a hardware issue with the camera itself. My device would suddenly say the camera (actual camera hardware not software) was not recognized and then soon after I would get the chime and then shut down. My only solution was to warranty it. Let's hope I have better luck with a replacement device then a lot of the other storries I have read around here.

Goin' for the warranty...
I want to try the warranty route now. I feel it's hardware at this point because I've already done FrankenKaiser.
Now, my problem lies with returning back to the factory SPL and Rom. I can use FrankenKaiser to UNDO "Security Unlocked" and then use JumpSPL via FrankenKaiser to get back to the factory SPL, but from that point, how do I get back to the original ROM?
Note that I still can't boot into Windows at all, and I will want to flash OEM Rom while I have the OEM SPL. Will the OEM SPL allow flashing back to the OEM Rom, WITHOUT JUMP SPL???
Thanks for your input..

O2 XDA Stellar: Booting problem following Windows Live install

Hi guys, need your help.
Short version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla WM6.0. tried to install Windows Live but had to soft reset before it ended. now stuck at the green boot screen.
what besides hard reseting can i do? i don't mind breaking the device if i have to, but i want my data back. particularly my text messages. everything else that i need is backed up.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
what i've tried:
- soft reseting a number of times
- remove SD card
- removing Battery for a couple of minutes before putting it back in
- connecting USB cable. "nothing pops-up on computer"
- SMSing it. "it rings"
- pressing all buttons on surface of device.
no success
thanks for any help
Long version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla 6.0. today i downloaded Windows Live for windows mobile to update the one i already had on my device. while it was installing before it reached the end, i got a pop-up telling me that i was running out of space. and it just stayed like that, progress bar wouldn't move. so i went to the device deleted a couple of pictures and tried to cut/paste the voice notes from device to storage card. it refused to allow it. so i decided to soft reset.
when i did soft reset, it got to the green boot screen and is stuck there.
after along wait, i get a white screen telling me the device can't boot because i might have "turned off the device incorrectly" or installed an insecure software and that my only option is to hard reset and lose everything.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
Thanks

Only Logo - No flashing possible

Hello, I know, this question rather belongs to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
but since I had no intention to flash my phone and I also have not enough posts to reply to the other thread, I hope this forum might be the right one
(edit: sorry, somehow I managed to get even this wrong. I wanted to post in the LG Optimus 7 subforum )
I installed the most recent update, when my LG lost connection. I then removed the battery (duh!) and eventually it transformed to a pocket warmer (well, it got no other function than heating up ).
I tried all the things Microsoft recommended me (Phone recovery tool on different computers & different usb slots ).
But always the same message : Can't repair, contact service.
So I stumbled upon the flash thread. I managed to get my old winxp sp3 rolling and installed everything. After countless tries my phone was recognized and it was even successfully flashed - wait!
It shows 100% and then the emergency download screen disappears, it reboots and shows up the LG logo.
The same state as before. (I am also not able to shut it down, it keeps firing up itself)
I tried the format all keys (vol + - & pwr) but it doesn't accept this combination.
I tried the vol - key in emergency download, but it does nothing
So i downloaded the European firmware besides the German one (allthough the download I could find, only had ~170 MB)
Anyways, it had no effect. Still only the LG logo, nothing more, nothing less.
Zune only shows, I should contact service (like the support tool) and the phone itself only accepts the key combinations for connection mode, cold boot, emergency download + power off (although this is rather a reset function, 'cause it always restarts)
Is there anything I could try which might get Windows back on my LG (besides sending it back to manufacturer ) ?
Thank you in advance and sorry for any spelling / grammar mistakes I made

Hi friend,
you can take out the SUB board (the board which insert SIM card), then Power ON. If you can get in to Wellcome Screen. You can fix this problem.
==> The eMMC Toshiba IC got problem, try to re-solid it. i was do this way and my fone working again.
sorry about my English.

[Q] Pioneer R1 Tablet not rooted and wont load past the animated logo

Hello,
My Pioneer R1 tablet the other night decided to do an automatic upgrade when booting up and hung for hours on 14 of 18 files updated. I rebooted the tablet for it to get to the home screen but come up with the error android phone services not initinalized and then froze. so rebooted and it got to the animated pioneer logo and just sits there never loading fully. Pioneer customer support sucks with helping and the tablet has a reset button on the back in a pin hole. I pressed that the tablet turns off. The tablet still stuck on animated logo.The tablet was running stock jellybean 4.2. The Pioneer people didnt want to do any troubleshooting. told me to send it to them to fix and that if they found anything wrong other than hardware issue i am liable for the charges on to of the shipping cost. I dont have money to just hand out to people who dont have a system setup for troubleshooting. Sorry for a long story but my question is is there anyone who can help me fix this issue.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with the same issue, tablet was running slow so I rebooted it, got hit with their "system breaking update"
Spent a better part of the day trying to find a way to reboot it into recovery mode and wipe user data/reinstall but so far no luck.
Fired off a email to support, tried calling but the wait time was 54mins last time I called.
Also there is a automated announcement while waiting for call time informing everyone that they "are aware of a problem with the tablet"
If I manage to get it into recovery and fix this I will let you know how

so after further testing :
holding reset for 30 seconds: fail
holding power for 10 seconds: fail
holding power for 1 min: fail
holding reset and then power:fail
power then reset:fail
opening case to disconnect battery; FAIL soldered to the board/battery wtf ?
pinhole on bottom of case between usb and power port doesnt sync up with a reboot option

ok well this was an counterproductive day
called Cs @ 1-800-421-1404
waited 45mins on a "20min" wait
talked to someone who informed me this was the wrong number to call for help with the tablet
called Cs @ 1-888-999-0987
"we are experiencing a high call volume at this time, leave your name # and model number and we will return your call before the end of the business day"
waited until 3pm and called again finally got to talk to someone and it was horrible
I was initially told to press the reset button on the back, when I informed them that was not the issue. I was told to email [email protected] and detail my problem, after around 10mins of this, I was put on hold where 3 different ppl picked up and re-asked my problem. Finally when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told he wasn't there.
When I explained that this is not uncommon in tablet from time to time, ppl forget what they used as a lock code, or one of their children played with it and put a passcode on the device. I was informed that they cant give me any further information because pioneer hired them to field tech support questions and they aren't part of pioneer. The whole reason they cant just tell me how to boot the device into recovery is they dont know, you see pioneer failed to give them that crucial piece of information.
supervisor is supposed to be calling me back tomorrow so lets see what kind of bs this is.
more then likely I will be de-soldering the battery leads from the board to force it into recovery tomorrow afternoon/

only thing I've found out so far thru trial and error is :
power on ,hold power till first logo, press reset and hold. 3-5 seconds later screen flashes white once (either turning on or off)
tablet off, insert usb connected to pc, rapidly tap power and it will stay on the charging screen , pc then recognizes device as libusb-win32 device "Worldcup device"
still no recovery mode

ESI is actually responsible for the tablet as pioneer leased out their logo for the tablet.
This is why there is a ridiculous run around trying to get help from pioneer's cs reps,ESI got my problem sorted.
look for a stock rom dump soon.

so what files would be needed exactly....
so far I have :
aml_logo.img
boot.img
bootloader.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
logo.img
recovery.img
and still have to copy over system.ext4.tar

packaged rom file!
ok so after following this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858
I ended up with this Pioneer r1 stock rom , anyone who has a stuck pioneer want to try ?

I've been doing some searching myself, since I've got a soft-bricked R1 (Father-in-Law didn't want it any more), and from the looks of it, reflashing AML8726-based tablets is done via a rescue-SD card, or using a manufacturer produced USB burning tool:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41478-how-to-unbrick-your-amlogic-aml8726-mx-series-tablet-v20/
So it appears that the tools are out there, but I haven't had any luck finding the device-specific files that will help.
I don't suppose you manged to find a way to contact ESI's technicians without going through the support number?

There is a recovery mode i unbricked mine just a few day ago need help finishing it it's very unstable
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app

Could sort of get mine to boot...
My r1 crashed while watching a video and when I tried to restart it was stuck on this pioneer loading screen. I noticed if i let the battery run all the way out I could then get it to load up... but was greeted with dozens of error messages. This program has stopped this program has stopped. Every two seconds another error so trying to get on to google play for a scandisk app was pointless. I chose to restart and... back to Pioneer loading screen :/

Anyone ever locate a stock recovery flash for this tablet? TBT-7R1-P can be flashed via adb and ImageBurnTool. I have 2 tablets that 1, I do have CWM installed but need to connect a mouse to navigate (using a usb mouse plugged inthru an OTC cable) and nothing to restore since I'd wiped it.
