Hi, hope someone can assist.
My wife's changed the wallpaper on her M2 earlier. It caused the systemui to force close, and has gone in to an endless loop of force closing.
It won't connect to the Sony Companion app, and USB debugging is not enabled so I can't adb.
The phone is completely stock, not rooted, locked bootloader, no custom recovery etc.
The only thing I can do is power and volume up to reboot. It still misbehaves in Safe Mode.
Any idea how I can sort this? Preferably without losing data.
I don't have any experience with Sony devices, not even sure how to boot to the bootloader
Thanks.
Fc of wallpaper change?!
Can you change it?
Try repair with pc companion or flash ftf with Flashtool in both ways you loose data.
Good luck.

Yeah, thanks mate, sorted it last night. I ended up flashing with Flashtool.
It was weird - I think she somehow interrupted the process when it was changing.
The bootloader set up is weird on this phone - hold volume down with the phone off and plug in for fastboot?! No image to tell you you're in the bootloader/fastboot?!
I think next time she gets a new one I'll make her get a Nexus!
Glad you sorted out. You only got blue led to know your in bootloader and that's it. ? Now it won't be that hard to convince her to get Nexus
All the Best

I know but...
I know it's solved but when you flash untick the data and cache and it'll stay the same letting all your data intact (well if you have root explorer you'll know they're the different folder /ext, /system, and ext. and all it does it not reset the /data BUT, games may reply on android ID so you may lose data on some things.

I was flashing my gsmarti's ROM this morning... I follow all the steps and it is successfully go into the "flashing environment"... Unfortunately, the process stuck at the beginning... and suddenly, it turn off itself... then, I cant switch on my phone anymore... and I dont even get the static Gigabyte screen as well...
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!
Do you know where to find the Rom Upgrade Utility for your phone?
If you go to your carrier's website and log into it, do you by any chance have a downloadable file that will restore your phone to its factory settings?
There's also many different GSmart models .. which one do you have?
I looked up Gsmart phones, and their support site has firmware upgrades listed for some of their phones .... see if you're is listed.

Thank for you reply =)
Actually i am using gsmart i (64)... and i have the latest firmware with me...
Because this device is using POCKET GHOST to restore and backup the system...
as i mentioned earlier... my "flashing" process is stuck at the beginnig... so, in my opinion, i think the pocket ghost has been deleted and i cant do the flashing anymore... is it true?
If it run's Windows Mobile ... you should be able to run the RUU at the bootloader screen....
As far as how do you get into the bootloader on your phone ... I have no idea.... on mine, I soft reset while holding the camera button in and keeping the camera button held in until the bootloader screen comes up which looks something like this (note i just randomly found this pic on google images)

Hi... thank you ya...
but i am still stuck in the black screen...
and i cant find any way to access into the bootloader...
i am searching the other sites... and i came across this:
they said if anything goes wrong during "flashing", the ROM will be locked...
is that true?
and one more thing, the bootloader, is it almost same as the bios (cmos) of
our pc?
and for your information... a lot of people are having the same problem...
thx thx... appreciate!! =)
Is this the bootloader?
Yep, that is our bootloader for the Gsmart series. On the i300 its accessed by pressing the red phone, green phone and power buttons at the same time.
If you want to change your ROM then you need to load the new version to your SD card (and I think it needs to be the only contents on the card).
hi,im a noob to android and my first step into the pool is the garmin asus a50..
yesterday i decided to root the phone
i installed a file manager
i installed titanium back up and ran it
i installed z4root and rooted
i installed super user
i installed root explorer.
all went well until i started deleting all the optus bloatwear,facebook ciao etc
i did a reboot of the fone and a msg came up stating a google file couldnt be opened,apart from that all was well..
so i decided i needed a restore to start again,i couldnt work out how to restore from titanium so i did a master reset and reinstalled the software off the garmin site..
i want to try this again...this time ill just root and root explore.
has anyone got any tips or ideas for me..
where i went wrong before etc
cheers
guys whats happening? lol
everybody is ruining the bastard. ha ha
mine is broken too, a50, i rooted the damn brick with faulty app, then it got slow and unstable, so i did the master reset, wow. now a virus warning stacks on the screen after start up and pin code, saying the battery cover is open and ask for restart, crazy retarded.
so it doesnt let me to do anything.
I need to install the ROM via USB plug, anyone got an idea if it works? Im actually mushroom, so I need to know which Rom is good, like 2.1 update works? and can pour the rom into its chip using USB cable?and if yes, how should I do it.
Plug the phone into the wall or computer.
power it off.
Hold the D-Pad left while powering the phone back on.
"Wipe Userdata" should appear on the screen. Let go, and let it run.
It will restore the phone to factory settings, including all software.

Hi,
I've been having problems with this phone, everytime I turn on the data plan it keeps poping up messages that all the process have stopped working so whenever I rebooted this keeps happening.
I tried going into recovery mode (e3) and wiping (factory reset) everything but this doesn't work, everything remains the same,
So I was trying to follow the guide to root it and load cwm recovery (from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899736) but it is not working.
I installed the drivers and I'm able to see my device in the windows explorer but when I start the runme.bat to root the phone it just throws a bunch of error messages.

So i tried to load the cwm recovery using the flastool and the process completed with no problem (the green circle appeared) but when I turn on the phone it loads the stock e3 recovery mode.
Is my phone broken ? what do you guys suggest I do ?
thanks in advance
i have this problem to :S somebody can help us??
Liquid Gallant won't reboot
I've got the same issue as mentioned in the post before; does the owner found a solution for his issue?
I tried to follow the tutorial on this forum and got the same issue when installing the *. bat file. File runs but won't detect the phone and closes.
Untill now the problem persists; frequent crash and shut down while using (wathever what, phone, internet, apps,..). I have not much experience with smartphones but it seems to me the internal boot is corrupt. Are any possible tpols or hints available or should the item be returned to ACer (when you know their helpdesk and utility service is crap!)
Same problem
Hello,
I had the same problem last year. I couldn't hard reset ( tried the 2 ways: via the settings or via the volum button when you start). It doesn't reset anything. The applications closes by themselves and I cannot do anything.
Last year, I sent the phone under the warranty and they repaired it and sent to me back.
Now I have exactly the same problem but my phone is not under warranty anymore.
Does anyone found a solution ?
Thanks.
So my friend gave me his Tab 2 7.0(P3100) for me to check out since it has problems to see if I can fix it.
And I checked it out and here are the problems:
The tablet constantly crashes. TouchWiz ran for a few seconds(Very laggy) before it reboots and it repeats again.
You may though factory reset would do the job.
However I tried to factory reset via the recovery. The recovery shows something unusual as seen below:
{
"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"
}
So when I wipe data/factory reset, the recovery goes through the process as normal. But once it reboots, it does NOTHING AT ALL!
Then I reboot into safe mode and tried to factory reset in the settings. Once I went to backup and reset and tap the delete everything, nothing happens even after I tap the delete everything multiple times.
Oh, the thing also crashed in safe mode. It ran longer than the normal mode though.
I was unable to factory reset the thing.
However there is another weird problem. When I set a setting like connecting to a wifi network, uninstalling an app and changing brightness, after it reboots, all the settings I applied are reverted. So the wifi network is forgotten, the app I uninstalled is back and the brightness was set back to what it used to be.
I worked with multiple devices in the past and I've never seen anything like this.
Have anyone encountered a problem like this. And please give any solutions if you do.
I do have a feeling the problem is not normal but you can help out.
I need to return the tablet the next day after posting this thread so any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
UPDATE
I tried reflashing the firmware using ODIN and this happened
And you thought when it fails halfway especially when the system.img is flashing would brick the thing.
It doesn't. The tablet still reboots and same thing happens over and over again....
I tried flashing the same thing again but still the same results.
Probably eMMC was set to read-only memory.

how can i fix it ?
Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?
What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.
How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??
Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.
this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.
