Sony Ericsson WT19i Bricked, Help? - General Questions and Answers

Bought the phone three weeks ago, it was locked to 3 so i used wotanserver to unlock the phone to all other networks..
Any ways, for the best week or so i have been prompted with a update notification, so i'd plug the phone into my computer, run the update through pc companion but it would stop half way and prompt "servers busy" type message..
Last night the phone again prompted for update but this time via WiFi connection. So i clicked Agree and left it to its own devices..
And now i'm stuck with a Bricked phone, It wont switch on, no led's when plugged in, computer wont even recognise it
Only thing i can presume is the Wotanserver unlocking has corrupted the OS which has in tern done the same to my OS on update

Unfortunately, running OTA updates on a phone that's been tampered with (software wise that is) can result in owning a very expensive paper weight.
If you hand in the phone to a service center you will most likely be charged for the repair.
My best suggestion is to either hope for one of the experts here on this forum to see this thread or for you to look for other threads that already deals with similar issues.
I know I've seen a similar thread about bricked phones after trying to install OTA updates when the boot loader was unlocked. Pretty sure it was here on XDA but I cannot find it.

[Q] Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357

As the title says this is about the Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357 that's being pushed as an OTA update. So far it looks like a bug fix patch for ICS, but it also seems to be being pushed to Sensations still on GB.
After having read a couple posts on various forums and threads it seems to download and successfully install on ICS. If you're on GB it's still being pushed as an update, it'll download but fail to install, which wouldn't be surprising if you're running the wrong version of Android for it to patch.
I'd like to confirm that this is indeed the case. If you've received this OTA please respond by saying:
Which version of Android is currently on your device
Did this update installed successfully for you.
If it did install successfully please list any changes you've noticed since installing it, like the now world famous Aeroplan spelling mistake.
In my case:
unrooted S-ON Sensation, firmware 1.50.401.1
update unsuccessful
I'm on ICS , everything is stock , update successful.
UPDATE: It seems they fixed aeroplan and small letter personal storage spelling, still no fix for Develop option and I have no idea what was that wifi fix never had any issues
Same here stock ICS update worked fine
Can see device administrator settings now on 4.0.3 which wasn't there before!

You might be unsuccesful because you have skipped a previous update.
One such could be the Twitter update, if you don't update that, you will not get the ICS update.

I haven't skipped any updates, twitter or otherwise. Also according to the Play Store all my installed applications are currently up to date. A final but important detail is that I should not be getting an ICS update because I do not have ICS, not because an app or setting that this update fixes is not up to date on my GB phone.

Aeroplan is subtly different from the British English Aeroplane, you may notice the missing e at the end.

6039y bricked...

Hi,
I bricked my 6039y when I tried to uninstall xposed framework. When I taped on "wipe cache/dalvik cache", wipe cache crashed and now I've got bootloop on "Alcatel One touch" and "Smart Move" :crying:
I had restored fastboot command (lost with last update), repartitioned internal memory... and I bricked it with a simple wipe...
I made a backup via TWRP but I haven't flash TWRP in phone... I'm just able to access stock recovery...
How I can restore my phone ? Only one chance with Mobile upgrade Q ?

Check with @petrov.0 He has a process he's been trying out with 6045 users to install TWRP similar to how he re-added fastboot. It's currently having some issues but perhaps having a 6039 user to test would help to resolve that. There is another "I bricked my idol" thread where he's been discussing the issues. Since he had it working for fastboot it may already work fine for you to reinstall twrp.
Ok, thanks, I go read his thread.
I downloaded his "6045i_debrick" archive, but I don't know if it's compatible with my 6039Y...
Can I try it without risk ? or wait @petrov.0 for instructions ?
Edit: Finally, I'm waiting for instructions

Je peux te faire un backup avec TWRP, juste besoin de l'image système de 1800 Mo ?
Hi, I just followed Mobile Upgrade Q instructions, I had stock recovery.
I can make you a TWRP backup, just need 1800 Mo system image ?

vous pensez pouvoir la mettre en ligne avant ce soir?
I guess you did not have any access to adb before using the recovery tool? That might be a good news for other bricked people.
@aaazote: I hate to give lessons but can you please at least translate your sentences in both english/french? Your discussion might be usefull for non french speakers. And I guess that if you're on XDA, that means you speak english.
Je n'aime pas donner de leçons mais peux-tu au moins poster en double trad. Anglais/français ? Tout ce que tu écris peut aider d'autres personnes qui ne parlent pas français. J'imagine que si tu es sur XDA, c'est que tu pratiques un minimum l'anglais.

You need system image + boot....I didn't look to see if boot was in there.
Apparently if you tell the alcatel site you have a "pixi" you get a newer version of the Mobile Q software which works well with both the 6039 and 6045...details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63134915&postcount=15

Locked account Vivo Nex S

Hi,
I have a Big problem with my Vivo Nex S.
I bought it on Chine, it's the chinese version.
When I ordered my Vivo Nex S, I received a "guest account Vivo" with an account and a password .
Now, I want to sell it but the problem is that the phone says that the password is wrong. But I didn't changed the password and I can't get a new one because it's not my phone or my email.
Thus, I decided to wipe data in the reboot system. But now, when I start the phone, it says that the phone is locked and that I need the password of the account to unlock it...
I don't know what to do but I can't use my Vivo anymore ans I just want to sell it...
Thanks you for your response ! If you Can help me I would be so thanksful

A password of a public account can be changed by anyone, try to chat vivo assistance team, otherwise you've lost your phone
The same thing happened to me, black screen with account number and password, no ?, I got in touch with live by messenger and they did not give me a solution, I took it in my city to a mobile fix store, the owner is Chinese , very kind contact with someone from chiná, got a program and I flashed my cell phone (5 hours) and solved, you will have to find someone who can solve it in your city, luck and a greeting

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy
I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.
I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.
Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).
OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

Hi, did you have the FM Radio app installed by default, or did you have to add it ?
I don't have the FM App installed at all, and when I install NextRadio, it says it can't find it.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.
Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.
Translation of the Original post :
"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

OK, merci.
J'ai pas reussi avec SamFirm, mais il ne me trouve rien.
C'est peut-être le réseau du boulot qui bloques.
Je suis en train de le choper de samsung-firmware.org, mais à 115Ko/s
étrangement, la Rom Australienne est plus petite que les autres...2.9Go contre 3.3Go...
Translation :
SamFirm doesn't find anything for me, maybe a work network problem.
I'm getting the file from Samsung-firmware.org, but at 115Kb/s
The Australian Rom is smaller, only 2.9GB instead of 3.3GB for the others...

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.

Bonjour
non je n'ai pas remarqué une hausse ou baisse du volume je suis très heureux que vous ayez retrouvé la radio FM par ce que moi aussi j'y suis très attaché. Par contre j'aimerais beaucoup l'enraciner root mais je ne trouve pas de solution ? au revoir

Question Adding a ringtone?

Hello everyone, do you have any idea how we can add music to the device and use it as ringtone notification sound?
The methodology in this thread worked for me…
Add custom or replace default ringtones or notification tones. Is it possibile?
Hi guys, Is there a chance to add custom ringtones or notification tones to watch 4? Or maybe to replace the default one with other files with the same name.... It's not working to add files trough Manage Content/Add Tracks

MOD EDIT:
Good morning all. That's how I did: I downloaded this app from galaxy wear store called,,, "sorry it's in google app store" "myWear File Explorer"...i have no doubt that d other apps will work install it on both phone and watch , mine is Galaxy Watch4 Classic 46mm - Paired with S10 open the app and find the files you want on your phone - send them to your watch4 go to your watch, open the app - "myWear File Explorer", the files I transferred were at the bottom of all folders, not in a folder....." it is possible to change the destination folder" press
bonjour à tous.
C'est comme ça que j'ai fait :
j'ai téléchargé cette application sur le magasin galaxy wear appelé ,, "désolé c'est dans le google app store"
" myWear File Explorer " ... je ne doute pas que d'autres applications fonctionneront pour
installez-le à la fois sur le téléphone et sur la montre , le mien est un Galaxy Watch4 Classic 46mm - Couplé avec S10+
ouvrez l'application et trouvez les fichiers que vous voulez sur votre téléphone - envoyez-les à votre montre4
allez sur votre montre, ouvrez l'application - "myWear File Explorer", les fichiers que j'ai transférés se trouvaient au bas de tous les dossiers, pas dans un dossier ..... "il est possible de changer le dossier de destination"
appuyez/maintenez, ils deviendront bleus puis appuyez sur les 3 points sur le côté pour copier,,
faites défiler jusqu'au dossier de sonnerie, appuyez pour ouvrir, puis appuyez sur la coche pour les coller dans le dossier de sonnerie,
collez-les également dans le dossier de notification si vous souhaitez les utiliser
puis vérifiez si elle se trouve dans le dossier de la sonnerie
allez dans les paramètres/sons et vibrations, jusqu'à la sonnerie et quand j'ai appuyé dessus
oui j'ai une nouvelle sonnerie
j'espère que vous comprenez comment j'ai fait
Vous devrez peut-être éteindre et rallumer votre montre
I write for those who can't, on the phone and on the clock myWear File Explorer You are installing the application, the music you want to add is installed on the phone. myWear File Explorer you send it to the clock via myWear File Explorer You go into it and copy or cut it and put it in the ringtone folder, finally, you wait for a while, then you turn the clock off and on, all of them are added.
Curious if anyone has been able to do this since the updates been released?

Same question... It's not really worked well.
attempts several times to install mp3 ringtone or notifications without success.
phoned samsung, response no possibility of doing so currently. the wear app limits ringtones to 10.
Update of Wear is in progress with other options ... so let's wait

Other options of their own or a way to add custom ringtones?
Really don't understand how this is even an issue... It's something so basic.
And if there was a way to do it (even not official) and it doesn't work after the update its because they actively removed it. I just don't get it...

Here a way is described but I didn't test it as my R890 is always muted.
here is the process i was using:
I downloaded this app from the google app store"
"myWear File Explorer"...I'm sure other apps will work too
install it on both phone and watch, mine is Galaxy Watch4 Classic 46mm - Paired with S20FE 5g
open the app and find the files you want on your phone - send them to your watch4
go to your watch, open the app - "myWear File Explorer", the files I transferred were at the bottom of all folders,
not in a folder....." it is possible to change the folder of destination"
tap/hold, they will turn blue then tap the 3 dots on the side to copy,,
scroll to the ringtone folder, tap to open, then tap the checkmark to paste them into the ringtone folder,
also paste them in the notification folder if you want to use them
then check if it is in the ringtone folder
go to settings/sounds and vibrations, down to ringtone and when i pressed it
yes i have a new ringtone
I hope you understand how I did
You may need to turn your watch off and on again
also paste them in the notification folder if you want to use them
then check if it is in the ringtone folder
go to settings/sounds and vibrations, down to ringtone and when i pressed it
yes i have a new ringtone
I hope you understand how I did
You may need to turn your watch off and on again
after update the Wear software restricted to 10 rings.
I called Samsung, confirmation. "Wear" software being updated with new functions but do not know if the mp3 ringtones problem has been corrected

That's how I did it myself and I selected new ringtones, alarms and notifications.
After GVK7 on R890 none can be seen nor selected and all selectable are just stock Samsung alarm or notification tones. Didn't care about ringtones any longer.

I tried it based on your link, it works. I finally replaced the alarm sound too. Thx!
