[Q] Help lol

I'm not sure you guys can help me here as you seem to deal mostly with phones but I'm hoping, here is my problem.
I have the Pandigital PRD07T20WBL7 the tablet has never been hacked and I have had it for some time now but this morning when I turned it on It got as far as the boot screen and then just sits there, I have tried multiple times to reset it and/or cause it to restore to factory (Holding power and Vol up) I'm honestly not very knowledgeable when it comes to tablets or android systems so I'd love some advice on what I might be able to do to get this one working again, at this point restores or even a workable hack would be welcome. If someone could advise or point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. BTW I have tried to run the Canadian update to the firmware just to see if I could get it working and it wont go in I get an error from the installer I've attached a screen of the error the updater gives me if thats any help to anyone. I appreciate any help I can get with the problem thank you.

[Q] Arrgh.. BRICK!!

OK, My first attempt at messing with the firmware on an Android phone resulted in dismal failure and a dead phone..
Here's the scenario as events unfolded..
Bought an unlocked Galaxy S 4G
Trying to connect my phone to my PC resulted in dismal failure, wondered if it might be a dodgy firmware someone had installed.
*#2663# to update the TSP firmware. This just hung on the updating screen. Eventually the battery gave out. (Don't ask me why I was updating the Touch Screen Panel Firmware, I don't know.. I was fiddling. )
Recharged the battery and rebooted the phone.. Menu and Back buttons on touch pannel light but don't work.
Searched this forum and many others, seems to be a common problem but no clues as to how to resolve.
So I downloaded Odin 307 and the USB drivers, put phone in download mode, installed the following via Odin
CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar
SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar
T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar
Worked fine, but didn't fix the issue with the TSP.
Somewhere I read that maybe it was partition corruption, so I decided to repartition. Ticked the "Repartition" box and used Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit (All four of these came as a package I found linked to on this site somewhere.) Odin said it was ok, but now I can't even power the phone on. Screen stays blank. Computer does not recognise USB device. Odin doesn't see it. It seems to be dead.
So.. Is there a rescue remedy from this scenario, or do I use this piece of glass and electronics to wedge my door open?
Please help I'm not going to pretend I knew what I was doing, but I'd like to unbrick this thing so I can at least make phone calls on it and send emails to people saying what a plonker I've been..
Thanks. :crying:

Do you have a T959V or T959 ?
Check under your battery.

No, I've not tried that. I'll give it a go.

The Heimdall One Click has saved my phone quite a few times, it's simple and effective! Let us know how it goes!
Sent from my Illūsîøn'd Galaxy S³

Ok, so I managed to get it into Download mode and reflashed it in Odin. I'm going to have a go with "oneclick" and see what happens, but at this point the only outstanding thing to fix is the TSP, which is still kaput. (Maybe one click will fix that) I've searched and searched on this forum, there's a whole bunch of dead threads where people have killed their TSP, and no resulting fixes posted. If anyone has any ideas, its would be great if you could post them, because at the moment, "menu" and "back" are still U/S.
Thanks for your help so far. If I get a solution, I'll post it here, I hate abandoned threads where people leech solutions to their probems and don't give feedback.

OK, So I tried this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23121150&postcount=12&nocache=1&z=6720291850525859
No luck..
Next thing to try is an older version of the O/S, apparently if I put on then it downgrades one of the firmware, and running the update again fixes the issue. (On can only hope.. Now I gotta go see if I can find an older version of the OS and try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21987511&postcount=9
:fingers-crossed:
Oh well.. On the plus side, I bought this little cheap phone to play around and learn on.. I seem to be doing just that. :cyclops:

[Q] Please Help: Can I do anything with this tablet?

Hi all,
I bought a Chinese tablet from Focalprice, waited three weeks for it to arrive only to find there's something wrong with the screen. It's really washed out. When tilted it's light at the top and dark at the bottom. If I flip it over it's dark at the top and light at the bottom! If in Portrait it's noticeably brighter one side and darker the other. It's just... weird!
Now, don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting Samsung quality when I bought this for sixty quid, but I was expecting to be able to see whatever's on the screen! I tried playing Candy Crush on it last night and I managed about 5 minutes before my eyes went wonky!
I've attached some photo's so you can get an idea (sorry they're not great!).
I've opened an RMA with Focalprice but they're just jerking me about so I thought I'd see if it's fixable.
Here are the details of the tablet:
Make: V100q
Model #: rk30sdk
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.0.36+ [email protected] #442 Tues Oct 22 12:40:31 CST 2013
Build #: rk30sdk-eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng-edward.20131105.205030 test-keys
I was going to try one of Oma's roms but I can't even get CWM to install properly.
*Sigh* I only wanted it for comic books. :crying:
Any help gratefully received.
Ex.

Anyone? :fingers-crossed:

Sorry, dude. It seems You have to learn the hard way. As a german saying goes: If You buy cheap, You will buy twice or triple.

Have you rooted it yet?
First off, I'd suggest you inquire with any other owners of this same tab, and check with them if only your device is faulty, or if that's the case with every model of that tab.
If everyone else owning this tab has the same problem, most probably its a software problem. You might wanna play around with root brightness adjusters, and/or Chainfire3d (CF3D is not officially supported for your android version, make sure to take backup of stock rom before doing anything!).
Your best bet would be to raise hell with Focalprice. Make sure to do a full unroot if you're sending it in for warranty!

Thanks, that was really constructive.
I'm sure I'm not the only member who's bought a Chinese tablet, I only wanted to know if I can fix the problem or not before I try and send it back. I realise it's a matter of "You get what you pay for" but reviews seemed to suggest this was a good tablet for it's price.

Thanks mate, this is more what I was hoping for in response!
I have rooted it, but couldn't find any program to help with the problem. Could you recommend a brightness adjuster?
I can't get CWM to work properly and ADB just refuses to see this tablet.
I've been playing around with devices for around 10 years so I'm not a n00b with these things, but this tablet just won't play ball!
I'm trying like mad with Focalprice, even said I'd so a chargeback, but they're not budging!

Fair enough. Things don't always translate well online, so we'll call it a misunderstanding eh?

Haha, you're welcome.
RootDim works fine, you can find it on the Play Store.
Is your tab a MediaTek device? If so, which one? You will need MTK VCOM drivers for chinese tabs which you will have to install manually. I will provide links if it's a MTK device. Also, if it's an MTK device, you can use rua1's auto-CWM builder to get a fully functional CWM yourself in a minute

Thanks, will check out RootDim.
How would I find out if it's MediaTek? The info in my first post is all I can find.

Download the latest SP Flash Tool from here. Insert your stock rom's scatter loading file (will be in .txt format) into SP Flash Tool, and it will tell you which MTK model it is.
Should look something like this-
Once you find that, let me know. Please do reply by quoting my last post, so that I get a notification and can get back to you asap.

Tried RootDim but it just darkens or lightens the screen, doesn't help with the colour. Anything else I can try?
Edit: Oops, didn't see your reply! Will try that, but like I said, I can't get my PC to see the tablet so... I'll get back to you!

Hi again,
I know it's been some time since I started this thread, but hoping you (or someone else who's looking!) could still help?
I finally worked out how to get the scatter file and this is the result I got:
No matter what I try I cannot get access to ADB Shell with the tablet connected via USB so I downloaded ADB Wireless from Google Play and was able to connect that way.
I've tried installing CWM from here: http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/ Tried from SD but no go. Also tried using a terminal on the tablet and root shell, again no luck.
I think I've discovered that to enter recovery I press PWR and Vol- for 2-3 secs and it enters something, but the screen's blank. It'll show up in device manager as "Rockusb" but I still can't get any programs to see it.
I've tried half a dozen different drivers and none seem to work. Am I stuffed? Or is there something really simple I'm missing?
Cheers!
Edit: Little update since I posted. I decided to pop the tablet open and take a look at the actual chip. Turns out it's a Rockchip RK3168 and not the RK3066 I thought it was (based on information I gathered via t'interweb). Not sure it's that big of a deal, but thought it was worth mentioning in case it is!

[Completed] Finding Local Help (PA/NJ/DE/MD)

Greetings,
I've been here before but forgot my logon info, so hi.
I could really use help finding local in-person help. I've tried to trouble shoot and fix the problem myself, but seem to be only tearing my hair out trying all manner of different things. I've got a Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T) with bootup issues. I've tried to work through all sorts of various potential solutions but really even with all I read, don't know enough about what's wrong, I've tried downloading Odin, Kies, and even got SkipSoft toolkit. This is the second device I've had with similar problems. I haven't been able to fix either one.
I figure someone to whom this is second nature who is very familiar with these sorts of bootup / boot reloader (mmc, pit issues, downloading, etc.) / freezing on the t-mobile screen issues would be very familiar with this stuff and would be able to fix it a LOT quicker than I can.
I'm trying to find someone local who might be able to help fix it either for $ and/or for trades/barters of some kind. I'm in the Philadelphia, PA / South New Jersey Area (Burlington County & Camden County). Most of the stores that do repairs only seem to want to do things like screen repairs, etc. If I can't find someone in South Jersey or Philly, I may be going to Baltimore soon, or Delaware is even possible.
Any suggestions or referrals are appreciated, thanks!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately this isn't the sort of thing we do at assist. If you have tried kies emergency firmware recovery and that doesn't work all I can suggest is taking it to your local service centre as it may have hardarw issues
Good Luck

I just figured there's gotta be SOME members of XDA who are experienced and local who might be able to help. Do you have a recommendation on where I can post in order to find such local help?
I've tried different things, but I really don't have an intuitive sense for it, or what the error codes mean. Everything I research has so many responses saying different things, on do it this way if.. and then when I try to research how it behaved, or whatever, there are a bunch of different answers to that.
Where do I find a "local service center" that deals with phones of this vintage AND doesn't just want to do things like replace cracked screens?

You may be able to get someone to assist you through team viewer but we can't really recommend anyone. What is the actual issue if you use kies/odin to return your phone to stock ? If you factory reset and then install stock firmware again and still have issues then it may be hardware problems

It seems like a different problem each time. I just ran it again (Kies 3) and it said.. Notice F "The PC failed to recognise the mobile phone." (The PC seems to be seeing it as MSM8960 which is different than I saw with my other phone that had problems.) For all I know, this could be partly a windows 10 problem (I've had suuuuch issues with installing drivers for old devices under windows 10,) or it could be my cable, or it could be the phone, or it could be a combination of both. And I'm sure user error is somewhere in there, too.

Have you tried switching to smartswitch instead of kies? That may work better in Windows 10. Also make sure to use emergency firmware recovery and put the phone in download mode

Sometimes it boots, gets to the t-mobile screen and freezes (blue pulsing led).
Sometimes I get the green guy with it being ok.
Sometimes I get the green guy with errors.
Sometimes I get Firmware upgrade has encountered an error. (with no errors.)

Also, not sure how to use emergency firmware recovery, when I select that option, it asks me for a recovery code... that I don't have and I'm not sure how to get. Then it says something about another PC?
Maybe that is part of my problem, I'm trying firmware upgrade and install because I do have the model and serial number.

and now I can't get it out of odin mode..

Ahhhhhh!!! I *finally* got someone at my phone company to fix the problem with an exchange! (For the record, one of my phones had a problem ages ago and I couldn't get them to fix it under warranty like they should have.) And the 2nd more recent phone with similar problems is also getting fixed!! I'd still like to find some local talent, but... I no longer _need_ it at this time!! YAY!

Thanks for your time and responses, Sawdoctor! Happy new year!

Question Touch screen problems help!

Hi guys,
Apologies if i have posted on the wrong thread but i have a big problem and i’v been tearing my hair out.. i have posted before on here with few other problems few have been sorted but this ones just cropped up few weeks ago and iv messed with settings and still but getting no where so i am here for help..
I have a Chinese android headunit uis7862 6+128.. its a dual system with android 10 and switch back to original car operating system.. problem i have is the touch function on the cars operating system is not working at all.. but on the android system its working fine? Its not like there is a fault with the original operating system as i can change thru dab aux etc with steering controls and it shows on unit its changing also sat nav works as street names change as im driving and all seat functions i change on my heater control show on screen as its been changed..
So far i have changed the ribbon from android board to original multimedia unit board which is attached to back of system… i have done a reset with button under mic.. i done a firmware update with files off here 3 weeks ago abut this problem started before that..
Any one shed any light on this please as i cant set my clock without going through original system software and few other things
Its a android system uis7862 fitted to a Jaguar XJ X351
Any tips? Advice please

Anyone help?

It's not that we don't want to help you, but I guess nobody has seen or used a system like yours before.
The only thing I can advise is to have a look at the Jaguar UK forum.
Edit: and take a look at this post. The topic is different but is it a likewise configuration like you have?

Thank you and sorry i dont mean to offend anyone, i was frustrated and annoyed as there is no support of the buyer and to top things up i done a factory reset on the unit to see if it would sort the problem out! But it did not but has bought me more problems The fyt centre does not delete and on top of that no matter what i have tried no launcher is working on the unit, when i try to select a launcher which has installed it comes up with a error saying it has stopped working!
This android business is new to me and im not very savvy with im happy to pay someone to sort the problems out as time is very short due to work etc.. may be if i upload a video of what the problmes are? Do yo think that would help?
Thank you and sorry again

Maybe. If there is a user who recognises your problem and knows a solution, he/she might help you.
For me personally, and I think most others: We have never seen such a combination and don't know anything about it. In that case a video won't help as we have no knowledge of your unit combination and how it is supposed to work.
