Hi,
I have a H2000 Phone, that is stuck in a boot loop,
How it all started:
I tried to use "LCD density changer"
and I set it to change density on boot (massive mistake)
when it rebooted it shows that android animation over and over again, it locks up then vibrates then starts the animation again... CRAP!!!
so my thoughts are well like the few android phones and tablet that I have had previously I will just re-write the ROM to it somehow
well..... seems as it that is like getting blood from a stone... nobody has it???.. how can this be???
nobody at all has ever written a customs ROM for this phone??, surely not?..
I have looked high and low for a ROM for this phone, spending hours using "google Translate" to read though Chinese forums, even randomly signing up to the forums to find that I can't fins any info at all.
I do not have the IMEI problem that most people are talking about (yet)
because I cant even get that far,
i have downloaded the system.img, recovery.img etc etc. for the device, but unless I can get them onto the phone they are useless to me,
I have tried the SPmultiportflashdownloadproject.exe and installed the Mediatek MT6516 drivers and the device is recognised by windows (for about 5 second after being plugged in then the phone shows the charging indicator on the screen and the device is no longer accessable by windows)
as far as I know I have the right bits to flash the firmware or ROM to the device, but i'll be buggered to know how to do it,
I have looked all though the forums and seems as nobody so far has a solution
i can get into revocery <3e> mode by holding "+" and "Power" this gives me a green android and a explanation mark inside a triangle
if I press the "home" soft key I get
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
then the options of;
Reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/facory reset
wipe cache partition
So I would assume I would be after an update.zip package to progress using this method.
I can also get a "factory menu" by pressing the "Camera button" and "power button" this gives me:
"Factory Mode"
with the option of:
Full Test
Item Test
Test report
clear flash
version
reboot
I can go through the menu items using the volume "-" and "+" keys but cannot select any of the options, I have tried a few different combinations of buttons but nothing helps..
I do however have access to a working H2000, if this helps at all, I doubt it..
I ripped the build.prop off the working H2000 and will post that in a sec
would be nice if somebody could write an update.zip with the build.prop info and sign it for me???...
Please help me...
Ok I used
SP flash tool v1.1052.3
I flashed the rom I had to the device,
but i had to untick preloader for the prog to recognise my device
and it told me to insert the cable in 5,4,3,2,1
BAM it worked..
It turns on and works!!!
...but the colour is like it is inverted..??
but I do have access to the device now
should be able to access via adb connect "ip" when I get home to my wireless connection and maybe mount /system as rw and push the build.prop file
it could be that I have the wrong firmware for this hardware? as I know some were resistive (H3000 is resistive in a different casing and some are Capacitive, H2000)
I think i need to find the recomended software "SP flash tool v1.1051.5"
if anyone knows where i can find it then i will try again
Cheers,
Keg
Ok now to make things worse
The dual sim IMIE's have disappeared... (DANG!!)
I have now hit my brick wall, it looks like to do anything usefull from here on I will need the special programming cable... without it I cannot do much usefull...
if anyone knows of somebody in Canberra Australia with a cable that would save me some greif...??? Lol..
on another side note, I DID work out how to successfully change the LCD density on this phone,
I STRESS HERE I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE WITH ANY MISLEADING OR WRONG INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED BELOW, I AM RE_WRITING THIS FROM MY PROVEN TO BE HORRIBLE (just ask my missus) MEMORY,
I am providing it as a rough guide, and it may not work or could brick your phone like i did to mine!!!
Ok, here we go...
it involved installing Z4Root, running the permanent root option, then using ADB from the Android SDK, I typed
"adb devices" to check that only one device was connected,
then;
"adb shell"
this gave me "$" then I typed;
"su"
and accepted the superuser request on screen
then it gave me "#"
from here I typed
"Mount" to advise of the current mountings it told me /system was from /dev/block/mtdblock8
then to access and modify the build.prop file I had to make /system Read /Write by typing in;
"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system"
then i typed
"chmod 777 /system"
"exit"
"exit"
From here I could then use the file explorer that comes with phone to open up /system and navigate to build.prop
then by selecting it i could scroll down the screen to almost the end where is says
LCD DENSITY=160 Or something like that
and I changed it to 140 the first time and then saved.
I reset the phone and once it booted the LCD was set to 140!!!
I tried again by doing all the above again (to get rw in system again) and set to 100 rebooted and it was set to 100 (everything is smaller and doesn't croud the screen anymore) obviously this ROM wasn't ment to be set at anything else or b easily modifiable due to the face that nothing re-sizes properly and it looks kinda crappy... (Do'H, though on a plus side the browser should be able to scale a page better now though)
So after all that I DO NOT recommend doing this procedure unless you have the programming cable and the Factory ROM just incase you bugger it up like I did....

Help! H2000 Incoming calls rejected after "clean data"
My phone is a H2000 iPhone 4 Clone with Android 2.2 Froyo. Here is the problem: I have went to Settings and then Manage Applications. I scrolled down to the Settings application and clicked it.
I selected the buttons Clear Data and Clear Cache. I was then sent to the android homescreen. Since then, whenever someone tries to call my phone, My phone will vibrate for a second, not show anything on my screen, then display on the other callers phone "User Busy". However I can still call to other people, that works atleast.
Do any of you know a solution? The phone is definetly getting the call because it vibrates when it gets the call, it just doesnt show anything on the phones screen, thus I cannot accept the call and then the other caller gets "User Busy" on their phone. Any advice? Please? Im really stumped here . Thank you in advanced!
Edit: The phone was working FINE before I did this to the Settings application.
Thanks a lot

Today,*05:10 PMThread Author ***#1**mtcstle*Posts1 PostsThrough an unfortunate sequence of volume/power key manipulations, my Galaxy Note 10.1 entered "Factory Mode" and won't come out. This is evidenced by a semitransparent panel superimposed upon the "home" screen with a list of hardware information and by a message I saw only briefly during one restart that stated in red, something like "...in Factory Mode... change to user mode before verification". I've done done a "factory reset", goodbye custom settings, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to exit "Factory Mode" on this device?So far, I have followed some reasonably clear directions to root the device. I think I was successful, I've verified that /system/xbin/suis rwsr-sr-x root:root. I read in another forum that if I rooted the machine and edited /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode from OFF to ON, it would correct the problem. If I enter*su*-root "echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode" I get permission denied. It is perhaps of note that when I*su, my prompt remains "$" although I see a message that the shell has been granted superuser privilege.This "aint my first rodeo". But, it is my first android. Perhaps, I'm not starting a shell with*su?Any help or advice gratefully accepted
This is the first time I have seen such an issue the extreme solution to this i guess would be flash a firmware using odin
BTW which rom were you on???

Don't know where to get the ROM ID, I''ve got Android 4.0.4.I installed COM and rooted the device but so far no real luck. I''ve been trying to edit could edit /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode from OFF to ON but had no luck there either. Where can fInd ROM ans a CMW tutorial?
Just install any rom from Samfirmware or the link in my signature.
Also you need to flash using ODIN the same is also shown in the tutorial which link can be found in my signature.
Once you get your device running we can figure out the balance

Samir, right then. i'm downloading from your link now. Is there any way to backup the items I've d'led and bought, e. g. busybox and bash. By the way, I d'lded bash but I can't run it. How do I make it my shell in a terminal session.

OK, yeah. I'm 4.1.1, now. Oddly enough, I retained settings, e. g. wi-fi, and downloads. Although, the device is no longer rooted and while the busybox app is still here, the actual binary is not and since su is gone, it fails to start. Most of all, I still have that annoying information panel superimposed on my home screen. I think I've got to grt a root shell going, :"#" and edit /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode.
the reason you have that is because you installed the rom without doing a wipe and that he reason you have all you apps
Since you are able to boot I would suggest install cwm - root - install titanium - backup all you date - do a complete wipe and format using titanium - boot into download and then install rom
this should work and solve your problem

I couldn't figure out how to do a wipe and format using titanium. I did install CWM, root the device, install titanium and back up my applications. Then I did a wipe / factory reset through CWM and re-installed 4.1.1. I've still got the device information displayed over my home screen. I haven't seen the message again but I think I'm still in "Factory Mode". There has got to be a way out of this. Could I get any help from the factory?
sorry my mistake spell error complete wipe using cwm, pardon me for my mistake
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
are you on the rom which belongs to the region device was bough it yes then do the following things
Make sure you are not rooted
No custom recovery installed
The binary count is zero if not then you need install triangleaway and reset it
then send it to the samsung or else they will void your warranty
---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------
Also when in CWM recovery did you format system, and everthing else except you external sdcard which I would suggest to be safe you should remove

OK, the last time through! I didn't see the options for formatting. I'll go 'round again. If I format the SD card, it will remove my backups! Not so?
Yes when you format you will loose all data the format option should be in mounts and storage
Also go in advance options and do a wipe davlink cache and fix permissions
Also trying to research on you issue just suggest you search for your problem with an S3 or S2 you will find a solution faster because of the number of devices there are and S3 is close to the note
Good advice from Sa mir. They've a solution for their device.

This time I formatted everything, still it came back up displaying machine information in a table on the home page. It's getting on my last nerve. I got into this fix simply by using the stock "wipe & reset" function after several applications began to misbehave. I can't believe it's not a setting or a soft switch somewhere. Do you suppose one of the other forum areas might be a place to look for advice.

Well, I'got busy for a few days but, no luck with the hardware printout on my screen. Can you tell me how to get a root shell on this thing? I've got SU and it seems to work but I keep getting permission denied from my shell. On a similar track, how can I execute a bash shell?

Success, I installed the "Android Terminal Emulator" after rooting the device. This time when I executed su, my prompt changed from "$" to "#" indicating a root shell. Next I did # echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode. I booted the device and was welcomed by the new user dialogue and a clean unobstructed home screenn.

My last few posts went lost but I did find a solution. After flashing and rooting again, I installed "Android Terminal". Now, when I run $ su, the prompt changes to # as you'd expect. Finally, when I issue #echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode, the expected result is obtained. Power off / power on, problem solved. I'm back in user mode. Many thanks to Sammir for the illuminating suggestions.

hey man sorry to bother i have this problem to!! its annoying i tryed everything and it still there !!! please helpp
Darko454, this looks exaxtly like mine did. As I described, once I installed a better tereminal emulator, and
Super SU, I was able to edit /efs/FactoryApp/factory from OFF to ON. That fixed the problem. Are you familiar with editing files with the "echo" command? If not, let me know, I'll send more detailed inatructions.

PLEASE HELP!!! My tablet has been bricked and i will explain.First of all i rooted my device with CWM and then i read on a blog about being able to change the pixel density and so i download it and i remember when i first launch the app it says warning "Do at your own risk" and so i change the ppi from "216" to about 320 ppi, yeah thats!!!And since i have titanium backup installed it says "the device needs to reboot in order for changes to take effect"and i press allow. So i reboot the device and then wait for it to turn on, and no chance to turning on. So i try pressing the
POWER BUTTON + Both (+) (-) and says "Updating... Please do not press any keys!" and then back on the black screen, i assume its still on because its lit on the black screen, but does not want to function, but don't no why.Its obviously bricked and when i go to recovery mode by
pressing POWER BUTTON + VOLUME (-) and when i was on that screen i wiped the User data and the Cache Partition and wiped the
Dalvik cache, and then Press "Reboot System" and goes to the black screen.
Fastboot does not work, but instead gets stuck on the green words "FASTBOOT",only Recovery mode works.I know for fastboot it is
POWER BUTTON + VOLUME (+) . I'm stuck, i've used nexus 7 ToolKit, even if its for nexus 7 i tried because i'm eager to get the tablet unbrick.It almost worked for me but not well good with that program, Im not even sure if Nexus 7 ToolKit functions with Sero 7 Pro. But maybe you can answer that. I don't know how to download adb, i think it has to do something with the Path system variable, now i've caused another problem:crying:. WTF!!! I backspaced the path variable and now its empty, is there any way to bring it back to the original "Path" or replace it for another Path variable.
Anyways,i tried DPI changer and it changes the density back to the current ppi "216". Does not recognize the device.So that does'ent work.And now the only thing i havent tried is inserting the following " >su #mount -o rw,remount /system #chmod 644 /system/build " in ABD,but dont have abd.PLEASE GIVE ME ANY SUGGESTIONS TO WHAT I CAN DO!!! BUT NOT "WHAT I CANT DO".
Also is there any place i can take the tablet to repair in.

So I have a problem with my Nexus 5. Yesterday I tried all kinds of different Lollipop roms and at the end of the day I sticked to Cataclysm. I liked it and my phone was all set up but I noticed there were a lot of unnecessary folders on my internal storage and a nested 0 folder (0 inside /0). I didn't like that so I thought about making a nandroid backup, storing it on my computer (together with my music etc.), wiping everything and restoring it by using TWRP and then eventually putting my music back.
So after I stored a backup on my computer, I started my device into recovery mode and chose the option 'advanced wipe'. Usually I would do a lot of research for everything I do but in this case I was a bit lazy to do that, I tried digging into the search results of Google concerning wiping but I gave up after some unsatisfying results. So I checked every box in the list, including data and system and went through with the wiping. So because my storage was completely wiped I didn't have a 'WRTP/BACKUPS' folder anymore. I made a backup from the stuff I had (which was only a few mb's) so I would have that folder again (otherwise I wouldn't be possible to locate my nandroid backup). I wanted to transfer my nandroid from my computer to my phone by connecting it through USB but for some reason the Nexus 5 didn't show up on my PC when it was booted in recovery (this sometimes happens for some reason)
I managed to do it by using 'adb push Cataclysm folder' in cmd. I went into recovery and restored my backup. My phone booted and I thought everything was as it should be. The wallpaper was black but that was logical because my internal storage was wiped, including my custom wallpaper. But then I noticed something strange, my status bar disappeared, sames goes for my navigation bar. I really have no idea what happened because I've restored nandroid backups before and everything went fine.
So then I put a clean version of Cataclysm on my phone and for some reason it asks me to insert a SIM-card into my device while it has one. I skipped that step and then it asked for my home Wi-Fi and I chose mine, then it checked the connection way longer than it would normally do. After I was done with all the steps my homepage entered my screen and guess what, my status bar and also my navigation bar were absent. It was like my cell phone was in immersive mode all the time. Then I tried flashing the KitKat factory image by going into recovery with my phone and opening 'flash-all.bat' on my PC but then it said '< waiting for devices >' while I enabled USB debugging... I opened cmd and typed 'adb decives' and mine showed up, so it was connected (although it now says 'unauthorized' when my phone is normally booted).
Then I flashed clean Cataclysm again and it again said I had to insert my SIM-card and it then again checked the connection with the Wi-Fi for a couple of minutes. When I was done with the installation I tried replacing the wallpaper with one from Lollipop but it didn't work although there was a preview available. There was again no status bar and navigation bar. I then opened chrome and went to this website and now I'm typing this on my Nexus 5 which has a permanent immersive mode now.
So I don't have much in my internal storage anymore, only a TWRP folder with backups, nothing more, not even a 0 folder if I'm not wrong. There's something wrong with my mobile connection and definitely something going on with my navigation bar and status bar. I hope anyone could help me with this because this is really frustrating becausr I tried to fix it for the last couple of hours, unfortunately without any result...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I was trying to figure out how to send the nandroid without being able to access my internal storage via my computer, I booted in recovery, went to 'advanced' and then to 'adb sideload' and tried that because I saw it somewhere on the internet. I somehow believe this contributed to the problem I have.
EDIT2: Now, when I try to power off my phone by holding the power button, it reboots the device instead, what's going on... And as I said, I have a black screen as wallpaper for some reason and I can't change this, but if I open my weather widget, the widget window shows up with my chosen wallpaper on the background, what kind of sorcery is this?
EDIT3: I wanted to download a terminal emulator from Google Play to do this but I couldn't get to 100% so I thought there was something wrong with the app on my device. I googled the apk and I wanted to download it from Zippyshare and when I clicked on the button 'download now', the phone showed the message 'no SD card', so I guess that's the culprit of all of this?
TL;DR My phone is acting really weird (no status or navigation bar, phone reboots instead of asking whether I want to have it shut down when I hold the power button, the wallpaper being strange, SIM-card isn't being recognised) after I wiped data and system and actually everything...
Reboot to bootmanager , flash a factory image , wipe , start over . Something must have gotten corrupted in your nandroid backup.
Regarding ADB not working , you also need to authorize the pc you are working from . You will get a prompt on your phone when connecting . If you dont , go to developer setting , wipe ADB credentials , reconnect the phone.
Also , adb push works fine for single files but it sometimes borks when you are pushing big/many files.
Edit : I hope you didn't wipe EFS as well ( though AFAIK TWRP doesn't wipe it on a advanced wipe) . If you did it's time to return it to stock and send it to LG/Google

Thank you for reading my huge explanation. After hours of searching and trying a lot of things with my device I figured out how to fix it. Do you remember I said that when I tried to flash the factory image with 'flash-all.bat' that it responded with '< waiting for devices >' ? Well, after reinstalling the drivers countless times and trying to find the culprit I realised I was trying to flash it with TWRP being open, and not the bootloader... So after I was aware of that I finally managed to put stock Lollipop on my phone, then I wiped everything and flashed Cataclysm. It felt pretty satisfying to have a working phone again, it's a pity I had to start from scratch but on the other side, I now how a phone without any rubbish.
Regarding adb push, if I would like to ever push a rom or a big file onto my phone in case I would ever have a similar annoyance, what do you recommend me to do it with?
And what is EFS exactly and what happens if I would ever wipe that? Thank in advance!
Regarding ADB push / twrp MTP mode you jst need to remember not to try and upload the entire content of a sdcard backup or > 3-4 gigs. Big files rarely missbehave , but I screwed up my SD permissions when trying to restore my sdcard ( thousands of files and about 14 gb total).
EFS is a secure partition that stores your GSM/network id and profile - IMEI and so on. AFAIK it's pretty hard to erase but it is possible if you play around with format/repartition commands. Just follow the guides and instructions on this forum and it should be fine.
Corrupted or erased EFS = no network connectivity besides WiFi . And since tampering with it is illegal in some countries the only way to fix it is by RMA/warranty.
I'm glad you've fixed it - I'm not surprised it was a simple mistake , I've been there myself ( tried for an hour to flash a factory image unsuccessfully only to realize I had my phone plugged in a USB3 socket ) .
Don't forget to make a nandroid now that you are set up with your fav. ROM - it will come in handy sometime.

I'll definitely make a nandroid, just in case. Thanks for the help and the clarification!
Try wiping your bum more thoroughly
I have oneplus one came from chineese retailer already rooted and with adware. always meant to reflash with straight CM or with a version of AOSP, but ended up use adb (which I have for development, though I am NOT experienced in using adb, flashing rom or what ever only programming) to disable a number of apps and it seemed to be stable.
More recently I had a phone crash following the crash of an app that I think is the CM app launcher, something begining with t, trebuchet?, i dont recall. Since then the phone keeps rebooting and I cannot seems to use adb, the device is either not present or offline.
I can boot to cyanogen recovery which offers:
- reboot system now
- apply update
- apply from adb
- choose from internal storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe media
If I select apply from adb then the device is nolonger offline but in sideline mode, but I don't think this is what I want.
I never liked CM and I had always thought that I might try to flash with a version of AOSP if possible and I wondered if now was the time. I thought TWRP might be useful for this and the first step to installing this was:
C:\...\Downloads>adb reboot bootloader
but I get
error: closed
I briefly see the debugging notification before the phone reboots but in adb it is always not present or offline.
How do I get to the point of either solving my repeating reboot at least or preferably installing a version of AOSP that would be compatible with OnePlus One, preferably without destrying data. I think the data is in a different partition or something but I have forgotten the little I learnt about this a few years ago.
I would be so grateful of some help and learning, right now to all intents and purposes I have a nice looking brick.

I have oneplus one came from chineese retailer already rooted and with adware. always meant to reflash with straight CM or with a version of AOSP, but ended up use adb (which I have for development, though I am NOT experienced in using adb, flashing rom or what ever only programming) to disable a number of apps and it seemed to be stable.
More recently I had a phone crash following the crash of an app that I think is the CM app launcher, something begining with t, trebuchet?, i dont recall. Since then the phone keeps rebooting and I cannot seems to use adb, the device is either not present or offline.
I can boot to cyanogen recovery which offers:
- reboot system now
- apply update
- apply from adb
- choose from internal storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe media
If I select apply from adb then the device is nolonger offline but in sideline mode, but I don't think this is what I want.

Did you try factory reset?
Thank you so much for your the suggestion, I appreciate it.
Not yet I haven't. I'm not familiar with the CM Recovery Software and the option is entitled "wipe data/factory reset". Do you happen to know if this means bother or either and if selecting this explains more and gives options before proceeding. Key is I want to avoid wiping data if possible because while most is sync'd offline some is recent and not or not for particular reasons.
If there's a choice then will "factory reset" leave personal data alone? Do you know, will the factory reset likely be to version/adaptation of CM put on by rooting retailer PLUS anoying/mal/ad/ware apps put on by rooting retailer.
If this is my only option then I will go ahead and do it and take the hit.
If following this, it is possible to install a stable Android 7.n.n AOSP only that will support the hardware and leave data intact (ONLY LEAVE DATA IF POSSIBLE) I would be very grateful for a clear and complete script to achieve this. I was a professional developer for 20 years, now semi-retired, so I know what I know and what I don't know in terms of foundational knowledge, taking care etc etc, but I am very inexperienced in flashing phones and using ADB except the fact the eclipse/android studio uses it.
I used a windows script to install fastboot if that is any help (though the script did show some errors it still said "All Done!" at the end. Tried to C&P the errors but failed). I can also try to install TWRP (or what ever) if that's any help.
Many thanks would really appreciate your help in my getting my OnePlus One working and stable again.
Andrew.

Okay,since you want to flash Aosp N,leave that factory reset thing.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
This thread should be enough atm.Everything has been explained,and it's just simple copy paste,so,even if you're unfamiliar with adb,you should be able to do just fine.
Just follow,install adb/fastboot drivers,unlock bootloader,and flash twrp.
Now,unlocking bootloader will format internal storage,which means everything....but,a simple adb command should be able to back everything up into your pc.
Ensure your adb/fastboot drivers are already installed,and using adb devices in cmd shows your connected device id,before below process!
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab
Where "NAME" is the name of your Windows user name.
On the device, a new screen should appear. If you want to encrypt the backup, enter a password -- otherwise, tap Back up my data. The backup will begin, and you'll find the backup file in the folder declared in the backup command.
Depending on how much data your device holds, this process can take quite some time.
The restoration process is simple. Connect the device to be restored and (from the same location you issued the backup command) enter the command:
adb restore C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab
Where NAME is the name of the same Windows user from the backup process.
Again, depending on how much data is on the backup, the restore process can take some time.

When you're done doing all of this,just follow any rom's thread instructions to flash that rom.
Btw,you're on Cos13.1.x,yes?
So sorry for not replying to say thank you sooner, I have been busy with family issues.
Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate it. I shall take a look at this soon and try to get regular android N on the phone soon. Thank you.
I'm just starting to read and work through this. Just to clarify, re my original post, is the fact that my phone is continually rebooting and that adb shows the device as offline a problem? Will I still be able to use adb to backup the phone contents? Do I need any special understanding to do that?
I finally came back to this and flashed a new rom carbon rom. I only noticed afterwards that there is very little support for this rom and I've had some issues.
If you think the issues are in some way generic and you have come accross them before you may have some ideas:
- there is no built in task manager and third party ones do not seem to cover the apps I am interested in. Any ideas why there is no built in task manager anymore like there used to be and how one might be able to turn it back on?
- the camera does not work and the open camera I installed instead has some image faults (or misunderstood feature). Big line down the middle of the image.
Any ideas.
