malware in my motorola - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
First of all sorry for my english.
I have the malware FBI/interpol/police virus in my computer (i dont know the name in other countries but it makes my tablet useless, i cant tap buttons or perform any device because it only apears a page that told me that i have to pay a certain amount of money to unlock)
i try to reset my tablet to fabric mode but when i enter in the recovery mode i cant do the restore to fabric mode and practically anything (wipe data/wipe cache) because the tablet shows a message telling that E: cant mount cache/log and another 4 items similar.
I supose that a solution can be connect the tablet to my pc but i cant enter in usb debugging so i cant use mobile device programs that can remove that malware of my computer
I have the MZ601 model
Thanks and again sorry for my english!

hi!
i fix my problem using cmd and sdk because i foud a blog that explain how to reset our tablet and you only need an usb cable and be able to enter in fastboot mode.
im not sure if you can put external links in this forum but if someone have similar problems (i think it can be used if you have your tablet bricked) y can send the link or put it here if it is posibble

Help recovering Asus P527 BAD FLASH!! (GSMFFS.NB0)

Hi,
Help needed to restore GSMFSS.NB0 cause flash stops with message,
"GSMFSS at 0x13000000
GSM Doesn't exist
Spin Forever
Use (format All) instead."
Is there a way to format all rom?
Thanx
If you have an original RUU (from either manufacturer or vendor), you could try that and see if you can flash an official rom. First thing would be if you can get into bootloader. If you can't, then I am afraid that you got yourself a pretty expensive paperweight.
However, if you can get into bootloader, there is still hope...
I am sorry but I cannot guide you through the bootloader process for your phone, but I do not own that device. However, this seems to be a way to possibly recover most phones I have seen so far.
Well if press "volume down+Left OK+Reset" i go into this main menu option, with Xand, Nand Format, diagostic,etc but when i press the respective key it does nothing... the GSMFFS error appears when i try to flash from the original RUU. So the device is comunicating, and i can access IPL- insert usb cable...
Can i access the device with rom with P525 Kitchen Tool?
Thnx

Well, that is fairly good news... you can apparently access bootloader, so not all hope is lost. As far as the P525 kitchen, you always have to be extremely careful when using a program that was designed to work with a different device from yours.
Have you tried using the RUU after getting the device in bootloader mode? In other words, get it to this status, connect the USB cable to the computer (establish a connection), and then try to use the RUU. It could be that the GSMFFS error could be from the RUU not being able to put the device into bootloader.... It might just work... Good luck!
I got this out of an Asus Russian forum
"Proshivatsya in expert mode, though, and so like to ask
But if you do not return startanet through the expert mode
Hold down, press and hold OK (side button), tyknut stylus reset.
Wait for the appearance of the caption "IPL: Insert USB CABLE"
On the PC run P527FUU.exe, in the back left corner click on the program icon, choose the Expert Mode
Connect the cable and click Update
Do not guarantee the accuracy of keystrokes, but in the manual for the R527 is written that way. "
Here is the link for the site (already google translated)
http://translate.google.com/transla...earch?q=GSMFFS&hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS310US310
Browse through some of the posts and see if you can come up with something. From what I have read the "Format All" is accomplished only via "Expert Mode" described above. If you can access that, then you might have a chance to restore the device.

Yup, the error appears just 5sec after pressing update button...
I guess the problem resides on the fact that gsmffs.nb0 file is missing from the rom, cause RUU log shows:

I assume C:\ is on the pda not my computer right? I guess this file is missing. Very frustating since there's no tools available for my P527...
Look for a Rom dump from this device and see if you can find the missing file.
I think that the C:\ is actually in the computer. Even if the PDA is recognized as external storage, it would probably take a different letter (unless your HDD has a different letter assigned to it). But in bootloader mode, it is not recognized as storage.
Also, look for another RUU (for this device) and see if it works. Good luck
same problem

hi santosru,
i am also having same problem were you able to solve it? where you able to select the options?
Ok, this may not work for everyone but it worked for me. I CAN NOT take credit for any of the work. I can how ever offer a very sincere thank you to developers who have brought 6.5 to the P527.
Download SCHIST 21864 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506417
use the P527FUU that is included and check both OS and GSM.
set the OS path to ????/SCHIST_21864_clean\flash.dio.nb0
set the GSM path to ????/SCHIST_21864\EXT GSM(IND)\GSM.dio.nb0
now you need your phone screen to show the IPL: USB Cable message.
turn key lock on, press in on the scroll wheel (left side of phone), press and release the soft reset button with stylus, release the scroll wheel and press the left OK button. it may take a times to get it right but you should get the IPL: screen up. (I actually have to release the scroll wheel then move it down, release and then press the OK button)
insert the usb cable, click the ???? button in P527FUU this should "fix" you.
after it's complete even if phone hangs at the blue Asus screen you can download the correct Asus flash and use the installed included from Asus in advanced mode to restore your phone to WM 6.1 for your area.
if this helps anyone let me know.
IMPORTANT: I just learned that the computer you flash with has something to do with the bad flash. I needed to reflash the original 6.1 back to my phone and it locked up again on my computer, I tried my girl friends and it worked fine using the above steps.

[SOLVED] - [Q] Fujitsu Simens loox N560 died after bad firmware

hi.
I'v got loox n560 that was upgraded to WM6.1-6.5 servel times without any problem.
the last time i did update, i did it accidentally with a bad firmware file(uncompleted download).since then, the device wont boot(just a white screen).and the pc wont recognize it.
any way to save it? or i made myself a nice paper weight?
thanks.
I think there was a way to put the N560 in bootloader mode by pushing some keys and soft-reset hole manually (the "monkey grip" it was called or something similar...) and with the file of the rom to be flashed in a SD card... perhaps you can google for information on this ancient -and more unsure that the cable one- flashing mode. Worth to try it better than have a paperweight...
Good luck!
I give you more information (shame that FIRSTLOOX information is not there anymore)
For manual bootloader mode: press On-Off button + left side button (voice recording) + stylus soft reset (for some seconds). Keep pressed On-Off and recording untill the dolphins appear.
I can't find references to flash from SD card. Anyway, for incomplete flashing, Newplowe gives this procedure:
"You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA."
I got this reference from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429148&highlight=flash+n560+card".
Good luck anyway.
this is very interesting...
i was able to put the device into boot loader mode and ran the command "L c:\os_213u.nbf" ("l" didnt work, but L did).
it did something to the device, a progress bar till the end of the screen.but the device didnt reboot.when i try to run POCKETFLASH program it couldnt connect to the device.
i runing windows 7, so i guess it the problem(ACTIVE SYNC is a XP PROGRAM).
i'll try installing XP on another computer and try this again.
thansks.
almost...
i have installed Windows XP just for this, and everything seems to go well, i connect with MTTY, put the l c:\os_213u.nbf command and the device respond.
the next stage i to flash with PocketLOOXN560FlashTool.
when i start it, i receive connection error, and then i go to recovery mode.the program try to communicate with the device, but i get at the end error that the ROM language is different than the language on the device.it says "(ENGLISH)" and there are also empty
()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at the end.
i doubled checked this with the original WM5 English rom, and its the same.
is there a way to change the language with MTTY?
any other ideas? its a shame to stop now after i can get a response from the device...
thanks.
The only idea I have is to check if after the failed flashing your N560 is still an "english" one. Perhaps the defective rom has changed the language of your device to something else...
If your device respond to communication with the XP computer, perhaps you could make a rom dump (in newplowe's page you can got tools for doing that) and check in the dump file with an hex editor which language actually has. You can always check newplowe's blog and forum (with google translator ), or ask him
Sorry i didnt post an update.
i have fixed the rom language.it had a gibberish mark at the end of the ENGLISH, after i have fixed that, .the device was flashed correctly and its working!
thanks for thelp guys

[Q] Best regards to greatest wizards; any idea for dead rooted Garmin Asus A50 ?

Hi all you wizards,
I had this now brick rooted and jiggling around it with uninstalling some preinstalled apps, but when I attempted to replace some fonts which was my main goal, it turned out that it was not really rooted!!! probably the rooting method and app was malicious. Then none of the apps could fully root it. Z4root followed by Superoneclick and Universalandroot have been tried, no chance but slow and unstable device. finally I decided to master reset. After this, a strange virus like fake warning sticks to the screen saying the battery cover is open and asking to restart! when I really open the cover another warning comes up that battery cover removed. phone is working in background. It responds to USB connection, even detects an update of ROM I copied to solve the problem but no chance.
Has anybody any idea to get it back to life by using PC as there is no direct interactions with the phone coz of the virus?
basically I prefer to get rid of the virus through SDK and ADB if possible although I am a mushroom and Dono how.
Is it possible to wipe off some infected data or I have to wash out all the ROM and install a new one?
I have another phone handy exactly the same thing, should I copy all data from other one to this one or the update version of original ROM would work?
it is Garmin Asus A50 nuvifone with built in full GPS and navigator; 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6, android 2.1 update 1
Thanks so much in advance for any participation even your experiences without useful result
here is some more information about the matter;
I needed to install some fonts for other languages which are not supported by android
So I tried to use information and files to get my device rooted and replace some fonts in system/fonts directory and some files in system/lib directory to use other languages in my android.
1- I started with Z4root , I downloaded through device and installed it, and I uninstalled my antivirus as it always said it is not safe, so I activated USB debugging and then permanent root and I had the super user. I installed some apps and used them to uninstall some preinstalled app and similar issues. When I tried to replace fonts and files, my file explorer with root ability, it said I don’t have enough authorization or something to access the file, I tried more root file explorer but same result, even a root checker said my device is not rooted!
2- Then I tried UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. Again I downloaded it through my device browser but it could not help as it said fails! I thought it is because of Z4root so I uninstalled Z4root but failed to root again.
3- I wanted to use pc method and root my phone by PC, even though this method was for android ginger bread and not my brand but as much as tried, my device did not show a recovery mode in start up by pressing power button and volume key but when I pressed middle key of arrow keys went to safe mode. so I ignored it.
4- Finally I downloaded the oneclick app through my device from the net. It was a zip file with so many files and super user, I just installed superuser but not helpful to replace font, then uninstalled.
5- Again installed Z4root but my phone was freezing and unstable so decided to master reset to factory setting. I did it once but after reset, nothing changed so I did it again. This time a warning sticks on the screen says;
” close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first time set up.”
and asks for restart.
There should be something wrong as when I really open the battery cover, another warning comes up and says; battery cover removed!
Phone is working in background, even I copied a factory update of my ROM and its been detected but the crazy warning does not let to do anything but restart!
Now I need help to show me how I can use my PC to reset my device as upon a usb connection it asks for interaction and lets me to work via usb cable, and then how I can go to recovery mode in start up?
Otherwise it is a brick, lol
it does not let me to do any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".
however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I am dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?

found this but dont know how to adb .
but for sure on giving a missed call and following the idea in link u can use the phone but annoying error wont go away
I have the same problem but I cannot receive calls
Hello
A couple days ago I got a Garminfone from a friend, I use it mostly as a GPS only, because T-Mobile does not have any coverage in my country and I don't have the unlock code.
Yesterday I wanted to make a hard reset to start over, holding the D-pad left while powering on the phone, **WIPE USERDATA** appeared on the screen.
Everything was fine until it restarted, after the restart it showed the following warning: "Close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first-time setup", the battery cover is closed and it does not let me do anything, the official ROM update does not install and If I do another hard reset the error persist and the phone does not make or receive calls.
Before this issue I got it rooted using z4root
Is it there anyway to update the device without using the update launcher from the phone?, or reinstall the 2.1 update using the usb cable via command prompt or any tool?.
I just want to get rid of this error and keep using the device as a regular GPS
Anyone can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[Q] Can`t bypass the Android activation

Hi,
I have a big problem.
So I can`t bypass the Android activation screen. I don`t have a data plan and I`m following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/10/how-to-activate-the-g1-without-a-data-plan-or-sim-card/
I DID IT ONCE BUT I CAN`T DO IT SECOND TIME.
So I`m following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301379 and everything was perfect until I get to this point (II. /7. Go and download a file manager from the android market (I suggest LINDA FILE MANAGER)) I couldn`t download any app, "Download unsecessful". I read about this problem tried out a few methods but they didn`t seem to work. I read that Factory reset could work so I did a Factory Reset... and now it asks me again to activate but I can`t do it. I do exactly step by step but it`s just not possible.
The only difference is that now i have a "Change Language" button, the first time when I had absolutely no problem (from the first time I did it) with the bypass (activating the WiFi) the buttons wasn`t there. I`ve read that it works only on RC29, this guide on II. 7. am I not on RC29? Because everything worked perfectly until this point.
The other problem is that I can`t get it to RC29 if it isn`t because when I connect it vie USB it doesn`t recognises the SD Cards, only the phone itself. This means that I just Can`t upload the files and re-do the steps before II.7 from the guide.
I`ll be really grateful to any help! I can`t use my phone at all at this point.
Thanks,
Boby!
Just upgrade your phone...
This is not possible for me because when I connect the phone via the USB cable the SD card doesn`t show as Disk Device.. it doesn`t show at all.

Broken screen, need to get data off

OK, a friend of mine's girlfriend's daughter (insert Spaceballs joke) broke the screen on her One S. She wants him to get the data off her phone (likely pictures and whatever else). Does anyone know of a way to do this? The bootloader isn't unlocked, which apparently makes a difference. I've never touched a HTC device before, so I don't know if there are any quirks, but there seem to be.
Few windows programs( Android Manager, Android Commander) will let you access the sd card, and adb commands will do it too if you have usb debugging enable. Look like you are on stock recovery. Is been so long time since I use stock recovery that I do not remember if you can have the "usb mount" in there. When you plug the phone into computer, can you access the sd card?

No, hence the question. No offense, but if it was that easy, I wouldn't have posted this question...
It may not be booting up correctly or something, but without a working screen he can't tell. Or she may have a security code or pattern, which would prevent you from accessing the SD until it's unlocked. But either way, if the phone is booted up, you can't see the SD. And even if the stock recovery has a Mount USB option...well, the screen is busted, so he can't see that option or select it.
The only possibility I can see is if it can be booted into the bootloader, and do an ADB pull for whatever files she wants. But apparently to do an ADB pull (or for ADB to even recognize the device, according to him), the bootloader has to be unlocked first?
Android Manager will let you bypass the security as long as usb debugging is enable. Hard to tell. I had that problem with my friend phone, but he had the usb debugging enable. I wish that I could help you more - I know "that pain" of busted screen. Try that Android Manager. Is free - nothing to loose but time searching for it on xda. I forgot the link.
