[A510] New discovery for my bricked A510

Hi all,
my A510 was half-bricked since I run the wipe option of CWM (version 5.8.4) last month. It can not boot to system, just hang at 'Iconia tab' logo if I power it on.
I tried to flash the stock recovery back, and flash the update.zip from SD. Every time it just stuck in 1/4 of the progress bar. (even change the zip or SD card)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I chose to install the new CWM for A700 ( version 6.0.1.1 ) and success to enter it. All the options can be run without any stuck, except for the wrong picture. I didn't know what to do, so i did all the wipe and format options.
Then it's getting more terrible, it stuck in Acer logo (first screen) after boot, nothing went further.
Last night I tried the SD flash again. I flashed all the roms from this thread, (I tried all the roms and failed to flash any last time)
To my surprise, one of the rom (1.060.00_EMEA_CUS1) can be flashed!
At first it stuck at 1/4 of progress bar as usual, then after a while it went to the 9/10 very quickly!
It reboot a few secs later and I saw 'updating EBT' at the upper left. Then it reboot again.
At the second-time reboot, I didn't see the 'bootloader unlock mode' shown in first sreen anymore, so it seems I made it?:cyclops:
Then I knew I am wrong, it also hang at 'Iconia tab' logo at last. :crying: oh, come on!
I didn't give up and continued to flash other roms. But i was too tired to sleep.:angel:
When i opened my eyes, i saw my tab entered the system finally!
No, wait! What is it?
title: 'XXXX unsuccessful'(my bad, i can't remember the first word)​content: 4 lines of words, about to tell u the tab need to be reset.
So I hit the 'reset tablet' button at lower right corner, then it reboot to recovery immediately. I saw the whole progress bar became very active and went backwards, and i waited it for half an hour, but nothing changed.
'coz that was midnight, i plugged the charger and went to sleep.
When I get up, it just hang there. damn it.
Anybody know what to do next?
p.s. My tab is EMEA-DE version.
Thanks and Regards,
Jokerzlh

Stuck in Factory Mode

Ok, I had some problems with losing the IMEI after flashing CM10 but I was able to restore that. The next problem was I still didn't have service. I tried flashing numerous roms and going back to stock but that didn't work. Finally, I had to restore back to factory settings after recovering with Odin because I couldn't get past the Samsung logo. When it started it comes up with yellow text where the clock is and flashes quickly at the bottom saying that it is in Factory Mode and something about Wi-fi. At the bottom it says that I need to return it back to user mode for verification. Any ideas on how to do that?

me either.. same problem.. still stuck in factor mode is on. anyone who experience it, please explain how to recover.
thanks in advance!!!

I had the same problem.
Using the info here, you can fix it by:
Open a terminal emulator
Type su
Then enter the following after the #
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
(yes ON is the correct setting to turn it off)
Then I had to reboot for the change to take effect. FYI, I had to go through initial setup after the reboot.​
profit.

Soft Bricked Verizon HTC One M8

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that can still power on, but will only go to the black screen with an HTC logo in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in each of the four corners. This happened while returning my phone to stock. My computer disconnected from the phone half-way through pushing an RUU flash. The cable wasn't unplugged, the computer just made the disconnect sound and the flash stopped. The phone is not recognized as an adb device, but it is recognized as a fastboot device. This gives me some hope that the phone can be recovered, but any attempt to flash an RUU gives me the error: cannot load "file-name". Any suggestions?
Just to help out anybody trying to figure this out:
The phone will not enter recovery
The phone enters something akin to the recovery page if I disconnect it from the PC, but the only option is RUU and pressing the power button will not do anything (picture attached)

Once you see the triangle you hold volume up then tap power. Try rebooting your PC, pushing that file takes some ram and a reboot will fix it, also try using the adb and fastboot files from dottats s-on ruu thread. Its in the first post i believe and modify your commands to look like this "HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU" (without the quotes) ect.........itll help the ram issue. Thanks @dottat for showing me this. Try that and report back.

Interesting, I didn't even know there was a version of adb specifically for HTC phones, though, I actually did this to my phone before that thread was ever made (never got around to trying to fix it until now). I'm at work right now, but I'll try it when I get home and update, thanks for the tip!

Just got home and ran the RUU with the HTC fastboot and it worked! At least I'm assuming so, I'm at the Verizon splash screen right now. Thanks so much for your help guys (and to HTC)!
Funnily enough, the soft brick worked out for me. If I hadn't bricked it I would have sold it months ago. I'm on a Droid Turbo now and I think I like the M8 better. So thanks again and I'll update if for whatever reason it's still messed up.

Awesome man, glad you got it working. Also you can try a factory reset after ruu if you've flashed a bunch of Roms and have iffy data

Huge new problem on Moto Maxx on cm13

Moto Maxx hasnt had an update for a while. Today the nightly came in and updated.. Now everything is completely mirrored upside down. When I am able to go to reboot with power off there is no longer a choice to go directly to twrp/recovery. My phone has become useless in two minutes. any help is appreciated
Thanks

Same thing happened to me on latest nightly... I just flashed the previous nightly I had before and booted up fine.

Can you fully turn off your phone by holding down the power and volume down keys? Then try booting to recovery by holding down the power and volume down again and pressing the volume down key til you get the recovery option. Then install version before if you still have it.

Don't get recovery options with this build anymore when yoy press recovery, it had disappeared. In addition the power and volume buttons dint bring you to revive anymore.Additionally it's not only upside down, it is totally mirrored. It is extremely difficult to ours tyke screen in areas where they don't exist. It's totally borked.
I had to fastbboot to recovery and reinstall last working build July 11 2016..
Btw, any workaround for GPS?

You apparently replaced TWRP recovery with the CM recovery. It's a setting in Developer Options.
Reflash TWRP and turn off that setting, unless you want it to happen again.

That's the weird thing. The night is just the regular list that doesn't replaced TWRP with CM. I was able to only reboot into twrp.was using fastboot reboot recovery. Ellen I re install the July 11 nightly, tyke options all returned using the power, reboot amd all reboot options were there. Do you think the nightly didn't have the proper processes?

Interesting. Yes, anything is possible.
I remember one Quark CM12.1 "snapshot", which is supposed to be like a stable milestone build, actually had the wrong kernel. (If I remember correctly, it was a much earlier kernel version which was no longer compatible.) Wasn't the dev's fault, those things are built automatically from what I understand.
99% of all nightlies are fine, but the occasional bug slips through. The nightly process was broken for a couple of weeks due to a commit and perhaps that fix then broke something else. @Skrilax_CZ, our CM dev, could tell you for sure.

Help My Xperia C got Encryption Unsuccessful and I can't reset it

anyone who can help me?

A little history from my phone, maybe a year ago I root my xperia c2305 to expand my internal storage I follow the instruction from information lord site, at first it did good but after maybe a few months my XC got bricked (only loading at booting and stuck there). So I decided to flash it to make it back using this firmware C2305_16.0.B.2.16 and after that I never root my XC again. Since then maybe after a month, or a few months my XC always got bricked (the notification first appear apps has stopped then when I restart my phone it will stuck at booting proccess). So, I've been flashing my XC maybe a couple times now not because I want to, but the problem is now my XC got Encryption Unsuccessful and I don't know how to repair it. Try to reset the phone but nothing happen
