Hello, hoping someone here can help me. I have the galaxy player 5 (yp-g70cwy/xaa). When I first got it ran a software program that only allowed it to do one thing which was rate tv programs that I watched. I did a factory reset, wiped the cache and the davlik cache as well...after that the phone would only open as far as the samsung logo.
I recently started tinkering with it again and I rooted the phone, flashed the rom, used .pit files, with odin and superoneclick. I recently used android commander and I finally saw life! The only problem is that I will either get the message the setup wizard is not working and it will leave me on a blank screen that only shows the time, battery, and whether or not the usb is connected. I can connect the usb to the computer and drag and drop stuff into the ext sd card. The internal memory and internal sd card do not read. My computer shows the yp-g70 in devices but it will not show it under removable devices.
When I connect it to android commander I can see all the files on the device and I was finally able to get the phone to the play store. I logged on using my gmail account and I was able to download apps (that all worked fine). I used some third party apps to do what the phone could not do which was open up the settings, camera, etc. The home screen is completely blank. The lock screen shows the wallpaper I downloaded but not the home screen. After awhile the phone turned off with a full battery and it will only work if I reset to factory defaults but then I have to register with google all over again. Does not save anything!
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this device. I have been working on it for a week already and no improvement.
Update
I now have the phone to where it can download items from the play store. I can use the device like normal But I had to download an app for the start key because I cannot get to the options without it. When i downloaded and rebooted the recovery it still gets stuck at the samsung logo. I have to type something into the search bar in the android commander and the phone boots to the play store. It randomly turns off and I have to recover the files all over again...I dont know. It seems like an improvement but yet I know that there is a file in this phone that is bad. I downloaded anti virus but it is still not picking up anything.
any luck on this?
I have the same one and just started looking to see how I can tinker with it .. .

AT&T Samsung Captivate with Froyo 2.2/Rooted
Yesterday I had a notification that said I had several app updates available in the Android Market. I went into the Android Market and started the updates but then the Android Market app itself started to update. I'm not sure what happened but the screen went black and it started to go through the SD card checks. I always wait for the SD card checks to finish before doing anything so when it was done I did the unlock code and tried to open up the Android Market, it won't open. I went through all my apps on my homepages and only two that are on the external SD card are working, Alchemy and Droid Phit. I thought maybe it was a OS glitch so I turned it off and restarted it. It sat at the Galaxy S screen for a good 10min before booting up. I went through all the apps again on the homepages and still the same two apps are only working. Settings will not open, the Application button will not open up to all the applications. The volume will not go up or down but I can power it on and off. I tried plugging it in to my computer and it's not recognizable. It does charge when plugged into a power outlet but not when it's plugged into the computer. I tried all the button combos, nothing. I tried all the steps for Odin3, nothing. I have been receiving notifications about text messages, missed calls, app updates, etc but I cannot check them either. I'm not seeing calls come up so I have no idea who is calling me either until I get a notification from Google Voice on my computer since I have all voicemails fwd to there.
I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas? I'd take it to an AT&T store but the whole $125 replacement cost sucks and if they found out I root the phone they will make me pay the full price of it regardless of insurance.
Bumping.
I really need help. !!!!!!
did your internal storage get partitioned somehow that happened to my continuum on accedint and i couldnt install anything luckily we have a re partition file for odin i did that and ran the stock rom and it worked im not sure if it would work on the captivate though. real quick check and see if your internal storage says 0.00
I can't check anything. The settings won't open, nothing will open. It's a mystery to me on why this is happening.
Can you do a factory reset from Recovery, or the buttom combo that works with your device?
Hello!
Two days ago I rooted my phone thanks to this forum. Everything was alright at first, but then I deleted some applications and I think one of them is causing the issue - probably Google Quick Search Box, or some other Google application (deleted a few that seemed innocent enough). I deleted also Facebook, Youtube and Twitter application (all of these were using the internet when the Internet is on and I didn't like it because it is spending me money - that's the reason I ended up rooting my phone).
The problem is when I try to add a new contact or access a new one, I see the android.process.acore ended unexpectedly error. I can see this error also when I do some other applications (Talk for example - not that I need it, just for information). Also, I cannot access the Market application - shows white screen for a second or two and then hides away.
I tried unrooting my phone, removing the battery and sd card out and then putting them in again, doing a hard reset through the buttons (I can't access the Privacy menu on settings also - same error).
I tried updating the software through LG PC Suite, but of course, I got: You have the newest version, update is not required. And of course there is no repair option, which is dumb, but who asks me.
Anyway, if I add some apk files to my sd card through the PC is there any way I could instal them on the LG Optimus Me phone? Since I wiped out my phone and have no access to Market (tried openning it through Browser and then logging in, selecting an application and click on Instal button - nothing happens), I don't have for example a Root explorer or some other type of exploring application on my phone, nor I have a Barcode scanner application.
Any ideas??
Some new info, thanks to my husband's Samsung Galaxy Gio, through bluetooth succeded to install Astro File Manager. Now I have access to the sd card. Now I am going to try to find what should be on the android 2.2.2 by default and install it. Hope this would work.
Just to say - still haven't solved the issue with the phone, but I tend to go around it. Hope I will find a solution one day, though.
Maybe you could try downgrading it or do a factory reset via recovery mode
Hello I am not knowledgeable on mobile devices, their hardware or software sadly. But I have a Metro PCS with that model that I somehow bricked? (is this a brick anyway?) by simply clicking on "upgrade" the android software :/
The cellphone doesnt have any weird things installed, just a flashlight and whatsapp. But it was handled years ago by a family member, who "upgraded" the OS, or so Im told (whatever they did, it couldnt have been advanced, but could have been dumb, system was stable however, and remained as such for years). The device must also have been locked by Metro.
The cellphone had an external SD card and videos on it, some downloaded from whatsapp, some recorded on the device itself. The only problem with the device was that it had a huge red bar 6gb+ on the storage report, assigned to System/others, and me being unable to delete whatever was in there. And unable to just move the programs to the huge SD card because all of them want core access or whatever.
Suddenly, from one day to the next, these videos whatsapp or natively recorded started showing a broken film icon and would not play from the gallery, whatsapp or the file browser. The gallery would show an error and only audio would play. Whatsapp would remain frozen at 00:00, and the file browser would display an error and not play.
I read that I had to uninstall an "Google" update that had broken videos, so I uninstalled an app called Google (not Chrome, and not Google something, it was a plain "Google" and had Googles search engine G logo), and things started working again.
The next day they were broken again, and this Google was not installed anymore, I stopped all of the cellphones running apps, nothing. Restarted, tried moving files to the core storage, back, nothing. I went to the OS settings and clicked on upgrade the OS, I remember it was at version 5 something. It didnt download anything and went straight to OS install showing an android green guy.
At about 30% in the green guy died with a red error, an error message and the progress bar disappeared. It remained frozen, I reset.
The system booted and showed "optimizing 1 out of 16" I knew this was weird since it had failed the update and I never saw a rollback. but let it run, it looped back to itself about three times.
I tried to learn those startup key inputs to load the bios or whatever, managed to load a screen to reset back to factory settings, did the reset. now it still loops, although it is 1 out of 3 optimizations.
Cant believe how this pos can get so messed up just by using the default buttons, google is happy to get all the information on users but cant keep videos working nor have a working installation...
Rants aside, did I actually mess up something?, shouldnt the installer do a full reboot before doing anything now that I think about it? how do I get this thing to work again?, clearly the factory reset is not a factory reset.
Out of nowhere my S6 stopped working. Each time I restart my phone it gets stuck on the "LTE Plus" screen. I need to figure out a way to retrieve my pictures/videos. I didn't back them up. I checked my Samsung, Google, and One Drive accounts. Below is a list of things I can still do on my phone and things I've attempted. Let me know if you have any ideas.
1. I can soft restart my phone
2. I can restart it into download and bootloader mode
3. I can not start it up in safe mode
4. I wiped cache partition
5. I can connect it to my laptop via USB but it only shows as a bluetooth device. It does not show any options to open up files. The phone was not debugged prior to the phone breaking.
6. I've tried trial versions of Fone Lab and 2-3 other similar programs. Each time with no luck.
Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas. I really don't want to lose these pictures/videos. Thanks!
Hi, I have too bricked my 3WT in the rooting process, and I managed to do this to revive it:
1. You have to turn the phone off completely. It's hard to discern, because if it doesn't boot the screen is black in both on and off states. You can tell when it's off, because if you connect the phone to a computer by the USB cable, in the device manager it should appear as an UART port or MTK transfer (or something similar, I don't remember exactly).
2. With the phone turned off and disconnected, run SP Flash Tool (my version is 5.182), go to Options, then Connection category, and make sure you have USB connection, High Speed, and auto detect selected.
3. In the SP Flash Tool go to the Download tab, set the donwload agent to MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin (from the SP Flash Tool directory), and set the Scatter-loading file to MT6771_Android_scatter.txt from the stock rom directory (you must decompress the stock rom first). Leave Authentication file empty.
4. Below the files set the combo box to Download only. Also all the sections below should be checked.
5. Click the Download button at the top, and when the controls will gray out, one then connect the phone by the USB cable. The SP Flash Tool should then detect the phone and start flashing process. This will restore the stock firmware and replace the TWRP (bootloader still should be unlocked), but it's easy to root again from there.
After flashing if you have red Chinese text overlay on the screen after booting stock rom, you will have to reflash the keys. Procedure for that is described in the other Armor 3WT thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ulefone-armor-3w-3wt.3969217/page-4
Hello everyone,
Recently I rooted my device (UleFone Armor 3WT), as described on page 2 of the original 'Ulefone Armor 3W/3WT' thread. This process went relatively smoothly, until afterwards I tried removing the bloatware via Titanium Backup. Where it would say it was removed, but the app stayed on the home screen, potentially a 'false root'. I then decided to remove the app folders manually in TWRP, which went fine for YouTube Music, but when I went for the following not so much:
Calendar (com.google.android.calendar)
Messages (com.google.android.messaging)
Chrome (com.google.android.chrome)
Drive (com.google.android.apps.docs)
Duo (com.google.android...)
Files (com.google.android.apps.nbu.files)
Photos (com.google.android.apps.photos)
Gmail (com.google.android.gm)
Google Sample Home Screen (com.google.android.gmsintegration)
Keep Notes (com.google.android.keep)
Google Play Films (com.google.android.videos)
Google Package Installer (I assume Play Store) (com.android.vending)
YouTube (com.google.android.youtube)
YouTube Music (...)
Google Restore (...)
Then I rebooted, but the device (after loading for 20 minutes) would only go in to TWRP recovery, I tried re-running the root process, this didn't work, then I wiped all the data except on the internal memory and SD card to re-instal the firmware (which we have acces to from the original thread), this didn't work as I didn't unpack the data properly (and the instal proces remained at 0%, so eventually I disconnected, twice).
At this point I brought it to a local guy, but he didn't know what to do either, and then after I got it back... It would not go in to TWRP recovery or even charge to do so! The device did have low battery, and the guy says he didn't do anything other than google for information which he didn't find. So I think it was just another part in this series of unfortunate events, and stupid decisions, but either way, I need to get this device back to factory settings, from a hard brick. The device still works in terms of hardware, and the light does come on with charging, it just doesn't go any further.
Any help would be much appreciated!
EDIT: I did have a replacement for each of the apps I removed, although I may have not allocated them correctly, this might be the problem, but I assume I shouldn't have deleted to google package installer, restore and sample home screen (which I think is the 'irremovable' google search widget), in the way I did.

How did you root it?
