[Q] soft bricked sm-g9008gsmh, korean clone? - General Questions and Answers

I was given a samsung(clone) model sm-g9008 a while back which is now stuck at the android splash screen on startup.
Was working fine for months then one morning and battery went flat and on reboot would not get past this screen, it vibrates occasionly on it.
I have not been able to make a mtk backup because it does not recognise the phone.
After a bit of searching online I was able to obtain a stock rom for it, and after a few very frustrating hours messing with usb drivers I was able to get flash tools to see it, but now I get a D-ram error when trying to flash it!
Has anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?
I am very poor so cannot afford a new phone, if I can't get this working again I will be buying a Alcatel Onetouch, very crap phone! Please help!

[Q] Can somebody please help me (G2x)?

I was curious if anybody could help me. I have a g2x from Wind (p-999dw). I am pretty new to rooting and such but wanted to update my phone. I got it rooted successfully and then tried installing the CM7 Rom update. Backed up with cwm first and then continued. Now my phone is pretty f'd. Every time i try to turn it on it just hangs on the LG screen. I tried the flash recovery method with nv flash and was able to get a cwm recovery menu up but when i try loading the previous working setup, it says successful, i restart the phone and now i get the LG logo with the blue status bar below (which wasn't there before I used the flashing tool) it which moves for a few seconds, then freezes. I've tried every option in the menu and i still cant get past the LG logo screen. Can anybody help me? I've spent hours trying and can't seem find a way to fix it. Don't care if i lose all my data and apps just want my phone to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] S3 stuck at FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue

So I have had my S3 rooted for a long while. But the past few weeks it's been running a bit slower. This week it started randomly turning off. I thought it was my battery at first. But then when I tried to turn it back on it got stuck at the Galaxy s3 screen and would not get into the OS.
I tried to get into recovery, it froze on the splash screen. I made sure both were actually frozen by leaving it sitting there for 30 min to an hour.
Tried to flash using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
It kept just sitting at writing NAND.
Now my phone says "Firmare Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Kies will not connect my device. It sees it but will not complete the connection. I tried using the model and IMEI number to upgrade firmware but it still would not connect to do that.
More searching lead me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&page=11
But I can't get into OS or recovery so I don't think this would work.
Any suggestions on what I can do from here? I only really need the phone to work for a few more months. My old Droid incredible just doesn't cut it at this point.
Sorry to bump, but nobody has anything for this? I haven't really found any other options.
Your bootloader is fine so that thread won't help you. What was the last version of touch wiz that was on your phone before you ran into problems?

[Q] Samsung galaxy mega 6.3 (i9200) ROOT Issues

Hello. I Was wondering if someone can help me with a dilemma......... i recently got my mega a month ago. I then decided to root my mega (As i do with all my android devices)The rooting process worked out great. The phone booted.....Everything's all peachy! root was successful! After about 3 weeks i wanted to record my screen. By the way i was running kitkat on my mega. So i installed a screen recording program. i wanted to record the screen so i started the recording..... but it wasnt recording. it kept saying an error message i think it when like gpu is not supported and change to cpu something like that! i thought nothing of it... so i changed the settings to gpu then to cpu (Not knowing what i was doing) after it failed to record again i threw the towel in and quit. i then played one of my mobile games(FNAF2) after i lost the game i went back to the homescreen and the homescreen was acting up... it was in landscape mode when i had the phone upright. it was bugging me to the point where i just rebooted my device. i tried rebooting my device BUT IT WAS IN A BOOTLOOP! i had no idea what was going on. So i tried to restore the backup and it was restored but it was still in a bootloop. at this point i was freaking out! when i went home that day i put the device in download mode and flashed the stock firmware but it failed and didnt work. but when the phone rebooted it booted up and my phone was on activation screen and it was in a different language. then i soon found out that my touchscreen wasnt responding! neither was the home button or back button. i really dont know whats going on. kies does not work i tried emergency firmware initializing and kies didnt read it i tried reinstalling kies and my phones drivers 4 times and it was a no go...... but i finally found a english firmware and i flashed it but it failed and said something like dev_not supported or something so that didnt work either..... i booted up my phone and the language was back to english and my touchscreen wasnt working neither was my home buttons or anything. i also tried installing custom roms but everytime i try to install them it says it completed installing but when i boot up my phone its the same activation screen. i really need help anything that can help will be greatly appreciated. also everytime i boot up it always says set warranty bit:Kernal

Samsung Galaxy S6 (sprint variant) failed firmware flash FAC LOCK

Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance

Alcatel pixi 4 (6) stuck on alcatel logo please help!

Hi there first let me say sorry for any spelling mistakes i have dyslexia and its hard for me to spot everything when i look over it so sorry
now down to buissness i have an Alcatel 4 (6) 4g from argos in the uk i think the model on the phone shows as 9001X but also shows as 9001D when you connect wondershare or other tools
i broke the screen on the device and took it to one of thoes little shops in the mall to get it fixed when there the guy told me he could root the device for you for me at the same time i thought yeh cool save me from doing it my self
when i went back to get the phone later that day it worked good in fact perfect he had rooted the device using king root and all was working good the device was working but then it suddenly rebooted out of the blue when it was led on a table
when the device started back up king root was still installed as a system app but it showed the device as not having any root access witch i thought was weird but i just left it like that while i made a few phone calls but again half way through a phone call the device restarted it self again
this time when the phone started back up it showed the pixi 4 logo and then the alcatel logo and refused to move any further its just stuck on this screen. I looked on XDA for a fix but couldnt fine anything for my model the 9001X/D i found one page that said you can format using recovery mode
i held down the power and volume up buttons and got access to the reovery menu and done a factory install and then restarted the phone but again got stuck on the alcatel screen
i sent alcatel an email asking for a stock image to flash from recovery or something but i got no email from them i then tried to use the upgrade tool from the alcatel website witch i thought would do it the phone was found and the upgrade tool started but at 2% but then i get a red error saying failed to read some ingformation check phone status but the phone is turned off as per the instuctions and nothing is on the screen
i cant find a stock image anywhere cant get the tool to work when i goto recovery and tell the phone to reboot into bootloader mode to run fastboot its never worked even when the phone was working it would simply say waiting for devices on cmd also in recovery if i enable adb still finds nothing i have no idea what i can do to get anything working or reset the phone at all
does anyone know what i can do or have an image that would work anything at all my phone only like 2 months old and i dont know what todo as the stall is no longer in the mall to go back to
