My wife left the window open near my only laptop that have, and a thunderstorm came through.......well you no the rest. Dead laptop after it completly dried, I get power but a driver is stuck in loop mode, so only the boot screen shows up. Well my question is do anybody on xda developers no how, or no anyone who knows how to change roms using only a wizard. I have a t-mobile mda (waiting for the fall for new pocket pc releases) with current wm6 rom crossbow reloaded 1.7. Would like to change to mfrazz xda6 (the real wizard window mobile 6 rom from ngenetics) rom. I thought I read somewhere that someone changed there rom with their pocket pc from the SD card. Please read my question thoroughly. I no theres a method by using a card reader and entering bootloader.....and so on, and so on. I have no access to any type of computer ( until I buy a new one ), and I need instructions or someone point me into the direction for changing my rom with just my pocket pc. I will continue to search forums, google, or whatever myself until we get and answer to this. Thank you all for reading my new post, and helping out in any form or fashion. Oh yeah I forgot to mention; please do not post or respond with any negativity. I no it say junior member ( noob) next to my users name , but i'm a grown ass man so respect me like one. Remember i'm the senior noob.
This is a little off topic, but have your tried booting your laptop and then pressing the F8 key before the Windows boot screen is displayed? From this screen you can try the "Last Known Good...." or try to boot into safe mode. If that doesn't work, you can try booting from your Windows CD and doing a repair installation of windows? If you can get power and it sticks at the boot screen, then some of your boot files may be corrupted. I'm assuming that you have Windows XP. Hope this helps. I don't know anything about flashing ROMs from the SD card, but have heard something about that in this forum or HoFo.
STOP TRYING TO TURN IT ON!! you're making it worse. trust me.
i work as a computer technician, i fix machines that have been spilled on all the time.
shut it down, take it somewhere to have it fixed. it might be dry on the OUTSIDE, but the inside is either
1.) still wet
2.) corroded chips that are shorting out
the only way to really tell, is disassemble it. take everything apart, REMOVE ALL ELECTRICITY to the computer, and check to see where the liquid is and what damage it has done. if you see corrosion spots, get a soft bristle tooth brush, run the part under water and use mild soap to brush it off. rinse it off, then let it dry for 48 hours minimum.
do not do this with the hard drive, optical drive, or LCD - just PCBs.
i've had dozens of computers come to me that had an entire cup of soda/beer/tea/coffee/water, etc. on it and was able to get it working. Water is the easiest to fix, as there are no sugars or anything to bond to the components.
its not the liquid that causes the problem, its the electricity running through it.
lol at this point i think im more worried about your laptop, and i am pretty sure there is a way to boot off of an sd card but im not sure, im sure somone here will know
h4ck must be a member of the geek squad!
my sony vaio laptop
when I saw my laptop it was soak and wet. I removed the keyboard pad, and unscrewed all the screws. Yes there was water on the inside, and I tried to dry it as much as possible. Went on vacation came back three weeks later. Before there was no power, when I return home I turn on my laptop and voila, it comes. I hit the f8 key and started it from its last known good config. System restarts but a small blue screen appears, then disappears. So I return to the bootscreen option and started it up in safe mode with networking. Everything came on in safe mode in a smaller screen size. I went to start/computer system/vaio recovery. Now this is were I messed up. Insted of using the last good config. check point, I used complete system recovery back to its normal state the way I bought it. all programs and software will be deleted.(just like a hard reset for pocket pc). It did a complete recovery of my hard drive c, and restore everything to factory settings. Now when it restarts a message says its missing some files and to repair this hit the "r" key and insert the windows xp cd-rom disc. I did this but it won't boot from the hard disk for some reason. Then after some time from trying to boot from the cd-rom disc, a small blue screen appears with the message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag. The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. please check your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. technical information: *** stop: 0x000000EA (0x81cB2440, 0x81E0A440, 0xF896DCB4, 0x00000001) ati2dvag- beginning to dump of physical memory-physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance." Sorry guys for the long story but thats everything. I know this is a forum about PDA's but i'm just responding to the response. By the way have anybody found anything yet?
I won't flame you, but this was posted in the wrong forum regardless of what ROM you are using to flash to your device. Just keeping things clean.
Yeah, you're on the right track. You need to make a note of the file it says it's missing and the directory path. Then boot using the XP CD and choose r for recovery console. Depending on the number of windows partitions, you may need to choose the correct partition and provide an administrator password. After that you will see a DOS-like prompt. Copy the missing file from the XP CD to the hard drive. The command should look something like this:
expand d:\i386\missingFile.ex_ c:\windows\system32
D: is your CDROM and C: is your hard drive. Make sure you copy it into the directory that you made a note of earlier.
Also, here is a link that talks about an infinite loop problem with ATI drivers http://www.sightsea.com/pghpchd/pages/infinite_loop.html
Hi,
First of all, great site you've got there, been checking it ever since I laid my hands on my first htc g1.
Secondly, and I hope I'm not double-posting about an issue already raised, as I've screened the threads quite thoroughly.
Here's the issue I have with my MK808B.
I've tried to start it with a USB ubuntu pendrive plugged into the USB OTG (I had saved some files I wanted to transfer, didn't realize it would mess things up).
Regular start up with this hdmi key is Google tv screen > android screen > home screen.
I get stuck at android screen, no matter how long I wait.
Out of nowhere, I tried to use another 2A power supply, as this had been advertised on other threads, no sucess... I also tried to start it with a paperclip pressing the reset button, didn't work...
Honestly, I don't know what to do exactly, I think it might have tried to boot ubuntu out of the usb stick...
I think I have no option left but to flash it (thus losing all that is installed already on it).
Is there any trick that could restore things the way they were? Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks for your time and help.
Solved by flashing
Hi,
Since no mgic trick happened to save the day, I was left with no choice but to flash it.
Used rockchip batch tools, crossed my finger so the stick wasn't a clone with the mediatek chip, flashed stock plus goodies rom, waited 10-15 minutes, and voila!
good as new, got rid of the chinese apps I couldn't even log on, but got a full wipe of my data.
Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing->w10 fail. Error message, cannot continue. unusable.Urgent
Hey,
I got Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing tablet yesterday.
It was reset to factory settings. After getting things going, it worked fine with win8.1 and updated itself. Then asked do I want to update to win 10 and after reading and ppl saying its better(and i dont really like win 8) I updated it throught windows own update screen.
After night of installing it, it was stuck on 95% (took hellish long time) and had error message on it "please install extrenal removable media and press ok" (its in finnish so translation might not be correct but you get the point)
I tried clicking yes, no affect. Then removed card, put it back in and it started to revert itself back to win 8.1 after saying not enough room or some error(cant remember correct anymore).
It reverted approx 8 hours then that error came again and now its stuck on it, it wont do anything.
I tried to create win10 install to micro SD with win10 media creation tool but it wont boot from it. It boots up, wisky logo is seen and then rolls loading dot for while, then flashes some screen like command screen, very fast, I cant read what its doing and the error is back.
What can I do? there must be some way to get to reinstall of windows 8.1bing or win10 but how? I dont know does tablets have bios or how to get to it, or how do even get it to boot up some install media.
Been googling another 8 hour but i just cannot find anything that would help my situation.
How can I force it to boot from microSD or do I need to get some microusb-female usb adapter for usb stick? I have a USB hub and throught it i was able to install the win10 installation to usb stick and microsd but idk does the tablet understand that hub(and read from it the usb stick)
i have years of experience with pc's but with tablets i dont really have any.
Tablet has 3 puttons: power on/off and volume up/down
Since I dont have manual, i dont know how to do any resets on it or anything and seller did not have one and maker is chinese and hasnt answered me.
I found old posts on internet saying ppl did get the win10 to install but none posted how they did it.
tablet has:
2gb ram
16gb harddrive
microSD port where I have 64Gb brand new Kingston class10(it works even it says on specs 32gb is biggest)
3.5mm port and micro HDMI port.
Please any help is useful and Im forever gracious to whomever can help me fix it! heck i even buy you a beer if possible

Hello,
as u can read in the title the screen of my (unrooted!) Nexus 5 is broken due to a bicycle accident. The phones flashes if I receive a new message but the screen just dont turn on. Unfortunately I have USB-Debugging disabled...
Now my question is, how can I recover my data? I really need it and ofc have no backup
I read a lot but I still have no idea...
I think, because USB-Debugging is disabled, it will be a lot harder.
(Note: Because I am new, I can't post links, so I replaced "www" with "[worldwideweb.]", sorry )
I found the following tutorial on YT:
[worldwideweb.]youtube.com/watch?v=B7Z_r0Z0CEo
The problem is ofc, that the Nexus hasn't got two charging ports...
Also I found this:
[worldwideweb.]androidphonesoft.com/resources/enable-usb-debugging-android-broken-screen.html (search for "Method 2")
but there is the problem, that this tool is only available for Samsung-Devices...
Now my last hope is, that I can recover my data with adb, but also there I got the problem, that I have USB-Debugging disabled...
(And I dont know, if I have to root my phone? (and if it is even possible without working screen?...)
So my Problems are:
- No USB-Debugging enabled
- No Root
- PC recognizes my phone but not more... (in CMD: "adb devices" doesnt list any device...)
So is there a way of recover my data? It's very important for me and I would be very grateful, if anyone could help me and accompany me through the process with instructions!
I had the same problem and couldn't find a solution. I tried for 3 entire days with any method found or that came to mind. Finally I decided to change the screen with one from eBay ,the cheapest one . If you find a solution let me know. The closer I could get was using an app that was supposed to let you control and see your nexus 5 screen on your PC screen. This app of which I can't remember the name had some bugs,maybe was an old not updated app,because I could see my nexus 5 lockscreen and an arrow controlled by the PC touchpad to simulate the touch, but sadly nexus 5 couldn't react to the arrow movement,a and nexus 5 screen was not full but only a part

But I think, that ur USB-Debugging was activated, wasn't it? Because I don't think, that this would work without USB-Debugging activated...
And then it would be easy, with USB-Debugging enabled there would be like 100 ways
I found no way to retrieve data . How would you do with Usb debugging? Or maybe I don't remember correctly and was for the fact that I had a lockscreen pattern and so Usb debugging is useless... Sadly I have a lg g watch that was not settled as a trusted device to disable the security or had home wifi area to do the same. Maybe there was even the fact that after a reboot you have to put the screen pattern the first time before the automatic unlock. I even tried to recover the partition from bootloader , but if I remember correctly it was hanging after some minutes. Don't ask me why emmc was god on nexus 5, I use the PC to do phone repair,and I'm a technician. I had the same trouble copying the full sdcard partition from recovery, and even restoring it to a new nexus 5 .Because the LCD was not as the original one and I sold the repaired for the same price of another not repaired n5. In the process of copying sd card partition content , it hangs another time. Seems to not digest the copying of some files under android subwoofers. Sorry for the confusion but I don't remember correctly, it was a nightmare. I had 2 infernal weeks because N5 is my first device even to work and I had to use my second phone , a really ultra cheap and underpowered Deco 77x(dual core1ghz with 512mb of ram) which has an M and even an N ROMs that works better than the stock 4.4... Slow as hell but the only way to save my work since my mother steel my galaxy Nexus. Try only to think I had to do some tries for 2 days, order the new screen, change it at a level that was invisible and good for the new user, wait for the new, try to restore a tarp backup to a different phone,find a way because it's not possible, copy sdcard partition , copy manually all the files which broke the full automatic copy process, compare all the folders files ... It was a PITA. Now I backup every month to a Usb otg Kingston key, at least I have only to restore it to a different device and do the sdcard things.... It's slow to create a backup but I can do it when is in charge,because the USB key do charge pass through and this is greaatttt even to watch movies (don't do that always, Usb key reach a really hot temperature, but case ,Usb port or phone shell reported not even a minimal sign)
The copy stopping could be a windows 10 bug ,never had that in 7 ... This new os is s*** ,has many small fu****g bugs... I wish I never updated ,I found those bugs after 1 month so I can't go back.

Ok, so there is no good solution? :/
Can I just replace the screen with a cheap one from ebay and then use it again? This should work, shouldn't it?
You can try yourself, but I found no way, I don't want to discourage you, but I tried all comes to mind and all gone wrong,and I'm an average user. Yea you can get a pretty cheap display... I tell you the truth, I didn't changed it for a new one after the repair because the display was not good, but because I was in warranty and here in europe Google gives you a refurbished unit if you have problems with a warranty of 2 years. So because my phone repaired was 90% the same as a new phone but battery starts to degrade I took the chance to request a refurbished unit because of the battery and to reset my warranty to two years. Mine was a 2013 unit, and I asked for a change other 2 times... I m in warranty til 2018 now . Going back to the display, from a technician examination, I can tell you that all the display I bought to repair my customers units seems to be original displays with original touchscreens, only slightly variations in colours calibration like on preassembled units. Only the plastic frame sometimes seems not legit, because 2 times I found it a deeper black and more rough (like sandstone of one plus one)
So I simply buy myself a new display and replace it and then I should (ofc) be able to backup it, right?
Is there a difference between like 30$ screens to 60$ screens on ebay for example?

Have access to the Linux PC? Just give it a try.
Connect to Linux PC , re-start the device in recovery mode.
And now it be displayed on your Linux PC

Yeah but I think, that I have to know what I should press after Volume down + Power on (for 10secs I guess)...
Which Linux version should I use?
Then I would create an bootable usb-stick with Linux and would try it

Wait wait
Turn the Nexus 5 ON , and other android phone with OTG SUPPORT.
Connect OTG cable to Other Android device.
Now connect your Nexus 5 to the Android device via USB cable.
Connection goes like this:
android device - otg - usb - Nexus 5
Now you can see contents of NEXUS 5 ON *other* Android device.
Hope it helps.

No.
You take Another Nexus 5 or any other device from a friend.
Connect OTG cable to the friend's device then connect ur Nexus 5 to your friend's.
Then your files will appear in ur friend's device.
Ok...
So this has been a bit of a journey! I bought an Xtrons head unit with Android 5.1.1 and wanted to flash it. Stupidly I didn't check to see if I could boot into recovery mode first...I know, a cardinal sin...When getting to the point of entering recovery to clear settings and cache, it turns out I couldn't get into recovery for love nor money! I have literally tried every iteration possible (8 hours). I then moved on to trying to gain access using usb on the adb console and entering recovery mode through that route.
Here's where the problems began!
I had to fashion a usb cable from some old cables and accidentally reversed the 5v and Gnd. It had been a long day and I really don't know how I managed it. Upon connecting the cable to MacBook there was the dreaded smell of hardware death in the air and although I immediately pulled the plug, it was too late. It seems that one of the IC's burnt out on the mainboard. I have taken a picture and attached it here although have had to replace http with hxxp as i'm not allowed links!
My question then, is what is it that has burnt out? The charred remains of it were too far gone to work it out and I hadn't taken a picture of the mainboard prior to working on it so I have no idea what it could be. Is there a guru out there that could possibly help?! I'd really appreciate anything that could be suggested.
On the upside, I did find a utility to enter Recovery through SD boot which got me back to where I began! Albeit without USB or Bluetooth or NVRAM!!
Thanks in advance

Is there anybody with the same mainboard that can perhaps take a picture of that area?
Just bumping the thread. Is there anybody who can help at all?
Another bump.
Use Rockchip Create Upgrade Disk Tool v1.4 to make a bootable micro SD card with your device stock firmware. So download Rockchip Create Upgrade Disk Tool v1.4, download your device stock firmware, launch the application, in first step select an micro SD card as removable disk to be used, tick 'Upgrade firmware' and 'SD Boot', then Click 'Firmware' and a pop up window will open. Select firmware image .img file and press 'Create' button. Wait about 3-4 minute and you're done.
Now put the micro SD card in your Rockchip device and power on. Now you will be able to enter into recovery.
