Toshiba Journ.e touch doesn't start?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to fix my aunt's Toshiba Jorn.e touch Windows CE (tablet?) (umpc?) (shi*?) from Groupon. When I hold the power button, the "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen appears, and.. the nothing happens. I've tried update firmware to reset system, but the update doesn't start. Can you help me?
Sorry for my English, but i have to fix it.

When i connect tablet to PC with a miniUSB cable, the system detects device as "SEC S3C6410X Test B/D".

It looks like your Journ.e is in test mode .
It's stuck at Toshiba "Leading Innovation" ? Feels like "Dead Obsolescence" to me

Well, in this device there is a reset sliding button, you can find it hidden below the device, slide this to the left and then back to the right, the device now should shutdown. now press the power button for at least 3 seconds and you will have your device back to life. hope it works for you as it did for me.

When you plug the tablet into the pc via USB and you restart , the device just freezes... You cannot restart it anymore, you cannot fix it with the hard reset mini button... You have can do is wait for the battery to go off and hope the soft will start run normal.
I hope i can install any other ROM like android or something - this tablet soft is hilarious...

Maybe a little late, but for me it worked
There is a method of reflashing the Firmware of the device via SD-Card.
Just run the exe in the zip-file and direct it to copy all files to your SD.
Then insert ist into your device and slide the mini hardware switch from right to left and back. Now turn on the Device it schould now display Toshiba-splash with the little message saying "Updating..." it take some time, but then after a restart you are good to go.
Beware the Update is DELETING all yout Data on the Device even if it is not stored in the Windows part of the flash!
Just remove the " "

[Q] recovering from a softbrick

So I have an lg g2x originally running gingerbread 2.3.3 and I went through this procedure -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259852&highlight=linux+g2x+root
Everything seemed to work as described except that the phone now will not boot. I get to the LG screen but then the buttons just blink and shuts down and tries to boot again.
I must have missed a step somewhere, though I am not sure where that might have happened. In any case, I would like to get this working or, at the very least, get the phone back and working.
I am running linux and do *not* have access to windows at all.

Which LG screen are you getting? The static one or the one with a moving green bar underneath it? Can you still boot into Clockworkmod Recovery or was that a no go? You need to give more detailed information so people can figure out at what point in the boot process your phone is rebooting.

I get that initial booting LG screen with the face and the letters LG, there is no green bar. It sits in that screen for 15 or 20 seconds then attempts to reboot. Well, thats what I assume happens. The screen goes black, the buttons along the bottom flash and then after a few seconds that white LG screen comes back and it does it all again. It never gets past that and never into CWM. I can still put it in the flash mode that allows nvflash to connect and do its thing, but thats about it.

If you have successfully nvflashed cwm. Then you should be able to get into cwm by holding volume down+power until it goes to a blueish LG screen. Then flash a rooted rom from there.
That is the easiest/safest way of rooting a g2x. If you haven't done this you can Google "nvflash g2x Linux" and find guides on how to do it.

Right, thats exactly what should happen. Unfortunately, its not what actually happens. During bootup I a can hold power + volume down all day long and get the exact same behavior. Its a bit disconcerting.

[solved]
Guys, I found the problem and figured I would post it here for future folks.
I was unable to start my phone plugged into the charge (both to the computer and to the wall). I had to have the battery in for this to get to a good place. I guess initial startup just took too much power.
So if you do this, after using the restore script. Press the power button and volume down hold both, then *put in the battery*. Thats what worked for me.
thanks!

Power Button Not Working + Stuck on Cyanogen Startup Screen

OK first of all, if you can fix this you are a GENIUS!
Basically, my power button stopped working today. The phone DID work fine and the screen turned on via plugging in the charger etc as it 'jumps' it. Also, when I take my battery out and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on, which leads me to believe the power button is somehow stuck or pressed in, even though it clicks like normal when I push it... Backing this theory up in the fact that when I start in bootloader (i.e. just holding the volume UP button when I put my battery in) I can't use the volume up or down buttons to scroll through the options, which I believe is due to the power button being 'stuck'.
So in trying to fix this, I downloaded the new Cyanogenmod 10 to see if it was a software issue. I previously had 9 installed. Long story short, it didn't fix it and I decided to go back to Cyanogenmod 9.. so I went into ROM Manager and loaded the previous version of 9 that I had the zip of on my SD card. NOW when I turn my phone on it just stalls on the Cyanogenmod intro!! And I can't turn my phone on or scroll through the options in Bootloader to install another version..
ANYONE know how to fix this?

If your power button is really stuck I'd suggest taking your phone apart to an extent and taking a look at it.

The power button isn't literally stuck, that's why I put 'stuck' in quotation marks. The button still presses as per normal and the phone hasn't been damaged at all. It just seems like the button is stuck, because when I put the battery in the phone automatically switches on, whereas normally I would have to hold the power button in to do that. I did try to take the phone apart but I couldn't get the front off LOL

I have the same exact problem. Thought it was a ROM issue. But no.
I even tried to Odin but when I hold the volume buttons and plug and in USB. It just turns the phones on. Every time I plug in a cord. It will always turn on. Making it impossible to get into download mode.
So then I installed " widget rebooter " which should get me into download mode right from my home screen. But all it does is reboot. Leading me to think I can't get into download mode anymore without a jig.
IM STUMPED!!

Use fastboot from a computer. Fastboot boot recovery name of recovery.IMG will boot it up ( the image needs to be in the same directory as fastboot).

Hey, I actually have the same issue with the power button. I just ordered this off of ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230794282928
It's a completely new housing so every button works. In the meantime, you can try fixing the power button by opening the phone up, removing the 6 screws, locating the power button and blowing really really hard on it, or hit it with some compressed air. If it doesn't work....the link above is a $30 fix to permanently fix this issue and you also get a new phone feel afterwards.

If the power button itself is broke that housing won't fix it.
I recently dropped my phone and my power button wouldn't work or sometimes it would work but it would act like it is stuck, so I took my phone apart and used 99% alcohol with a q-tip and cleaned the power button on the motherboard and the plastic button on the case as well as other all the other connections and let it air dry for 30 mins and reassembled and it works now.

albundy2010: Can you please explain how to use fastboot? I have tried connecting my phone to Odin but it doesn't work because like BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz says, as soon as I put my battery in the phone turns on.. so I can't get into download mode even if I am pressing the two volume buttons.. And then when my phone turns on it just sticks on the Cyanogenmod 9 startup screen.
shadowx360: This looks great, but will it definintely fix the issue? I was told that I need a new 'ribbon' for the power button.. it's not the actual outer casing button itself that doesnt work.. it's the internal button that I think is connected to the motherboard..... so I'm guessing that just buying outer casing won't work?

Start the phone into the bootloader as you described in your original post. That is fastboot .
If you don't know how to issue the commands on the computer and set it up read a guide.
In a perfect world everyone with a unlocked nexus should know how to do it. But morons ( sorry its true, well not really sorry ) use one click , scripts etc.
Even of you used one of those open a command prompt in the folder ( directory) of the tool that has fastboot.exe in it and put the recovery. img ( should already be one in there) in there and issue the command.

With mine I believe it's beyond the power button. I believe it's Not able to get into download mode at all. I have used commands and it just reboots.
Doesn't necessarily mean we're idiots.

I have downloaded fastboot.exe and have connected my phone to the usb and have it in bootloader... how can I then use the PC to install another version of cyanogenmod so I can at least start up my phone?
FYI when i type 'fastboot devices', nothing comes up... and if, for example, i typoe 'fastboot reboot', it sais <waiting for device>, but no action or prompt appears on my phone.. it just stays in bootloader..

You don't have the drivers installed. Read a guide on how to set up fastboot / install the SDK

It gets tiring repeating the same stuff over and over, doesn't it? There's at least 1 thread regarding a broken screen or power button each freaking week and yet nobody but the people helping seem to be able to use the search function.

Thanks for the help polobunny, really appreciate it.

PS I have installed the drivers, as far as I can see. I have "Android Composite ADB Interface" in device manager, BUT it only shows up when I start my phone and connect, NOT when I start in fastboot mode. Anyone know a way around this.
FYI I am searcing for other threads on this one, but have had no luck so far.
I have reinstalled the driver from http://dottech.org/android/26188/us...rs-for-windows-for-all-android-phones/#google

bump. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Notice how nobody replied after your stupid comment quoting polobunny?
There is a reason for that..... bump all you want. Good luck getting anybody to help

Why was my comment stupid? Polobunny was the one mocking the person in need of help, assuming he hadn't tried searching google/forums first. There is no need for a reply like that.

you should be able to manually boot into recovery, bootloader and download modes. If your phone is powering on when the battery is inserted, it means there is a positive signal going through the power button to complete the circuit, in some way. With that said, let's assume you inserting the battery is the moment you would hypothetically be pressing the button if it worked. So in this individual case of the battery insertion acting as a power button depressing, it should be possible to get into any one of the modes desired by keeping any additional buttons depressed while inserting the battery.
In other words, to get into download mode press the vol up+down buttons at the exact same time the battery is inserted. it should work. My sister's evo4g had the exact same symptoms your phone does, and it worked for hers. I was easily able to boot into the bootloader, as well as recovery by following the steps I mentioned, and since it was a touch-based recovery, I was still able to flash/backup/restore, etc...I had full control over recovery, and everything worked just fine.
on second thought, download mode probably won't work with our device since you have to release the power button or it will fully boot....but fastboot and recovery should definitely work!!

[Q] HTC One S bricked-ish

Hi,
long story short: while trying to install CM on my old one s I first flashed the boot.img as described here: h t t p : / / wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ville. It appears that the firmware overwrote the custom recovery on a reboot, and when I entered recovery to install CM I got a screen saying "entering recovery..." in pink at the top, htc logo in the middle, and "This build is only intended for development, to not leak from HTC" (something like that) in red at the bottom. Nothing happened.
I shut it down and started it back up, and it went to boot with the same htc logo and red message at the bottom -- and froze there. Only 10+ sec power button restarts it, nothing else helps. Weird enough I noticed that if it's on a cable it won't restart but just stay off, and if it's not connected it will restart immediately, no chance to switch it off.
Here's my biggest problem: my volume rocker is brocken. Up works somewhat, but down is 95% dead. I entered the bootloader through adb before, but since I can't boot the phone anymore I can't get in anymore.
It seems to me like the best solution would be to somehow fix the volume rocker. It's not 100% dead, occasionally I could get a keypress through, so I would just suppose the contacts are a little bad and I could just polish it a little? But the phone seems a pain to take apart.
What would you suggest? Is it too easy to break the whole thing while trying to clean the contacts of the rocker?
Thanks for any help / comments!

why not change the volume button, at gsm service.
It's a good phone.

It's the volume rocker, not the power button; and it's been broken for a long time. I'm a little afraid I might rip things apart, but this makes it look outright easy: youtube.com/watch?v=6j25jajIq3g. I'll give it a try.

Help requested for bringing S7 Edge back to life

Dear Learned ones,
I recently purchased a second hand Samsung S7 Edge phone, only to find out that it has a software KingRoot installed in it. I went into kingroot and then pressed some options to unroot it and then deleted kingroot app thinking it would have done the job but apparently not.
Now I have been trying to follow some youtube videos how to factory restore the phone but am stuck. The phone isn't simply going into download mode at all. I tried pressing vol down + power + main button but it simply does not work.
I would greatly appreciate if you can please help me with how do I go about restoring it to the factory mode.
Peace

Hi mate
Sometimes is tricky to get into download mode , when system is not 100% ok timing becomes an issue, keep trying it should work
Once there just flash a fresh firmware

Sometimes holding Volume Down & Home & Power until the phone reboots twice will work if doing it only once fails

Thank you, both for your replies and assistance. I have tried holding all three buttons down for good minute but nothing happens. It feels like that the screen lights up a little and then goes off again. I have been trying it over and over again few times but nothing happens
When I do it few times, it then comes back saying Android is starting... Optimising app XX of 102 and then starts normal again.
Is there a way i can insert two pictures here for you to see the main screen?
