[Q] I9000 Not working due software mess-up

Hey guys!
First off, i was searching through loads of forums and attempted different solutions. Anything to get it back working. This only made it worse
What happened was as follows:
After having CM 10.1 or some version of it (had the OS at 4.3 i believe), my phone was very slow, so slow in fact that i got so mad at it that i almost bit through it. So one day when i was in a tent at the foot of a mountain all alone (not that long ago) i decided to rollback the phone to its original state from backup i made some months ago before i upgraded the OS. At the same time just before this i backed up the current build just in case. Using ClockWorkMod 3pointsomething.
It went through everything and then asked me: Do you want to root this device? (or something in those lines). I, having no clue, clicked one of the million "no" on the screen.
After this it rebooted with errors saying "Can't detect this drive can't detect that drive". In other words, it couldn't detect niether Internal SD nor External SD. While having the Samsung logo being displayed without booting if i didn't go into "Volume Up, Menu Key and Start your tiny engines!".
I thought i could fix it and looked through tremendous amount of internets in attempt to fix it. Neither Odin nor Heimdall Frontend could detect the device even after installing the drivers and samsung kies and messing about with those two in between.
After a while i ended up with "Phone . . ! in a orange triangle . . PC" aka black screen of death, while the phone can go into download mode. Which in my hand is equally useless as no program can detect it still.
Now i just decided to start a new thread even though there is endless amount of other threads but none seem to cover exactly this as i haven't yet managed to fix it. Plus a response on progress is always pleasant as i personally don't know when i succeed unless phone works fully again.
How bad off am i?
Any input will be greatly appreciated! :victory:

Hoping not to have to spend money on a new one and as far as i've gathered this can be solved - Anybody can give me some tips on where to look or what i could try?

First you are posting in the wrong location as i9000 has its own forum here for Q&A and others too
second click on My Android Solutions (link below) and try methods to fix USB connection problems first after that get into download mode and use a rescue kit from MY Android Collections (link below) or follow this to flash a Gingerbread JVU stock ROM
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​

[Q]PLEASE HELP ME(Cpu, android, apple) reward is possible. TRIED VERYTHING.. :(

Hello, I am seeking advice/help...
I can see by looking and reading some of your writings and posts that yours and others time is worth alot... I am not sure on how much I could spend as I have already lost funds and had my bank accounts hacked. However I will gladly see what I can do if someone can hopfully help me...
I have been without proper internet for well over a month now.. I have changed my wireless routers out twice even added in a AP(hardware firewall)... My internet provider also suppliea optik TV and that is all ran through the same router.
At first I noticed some new programs would appear, things would be moved around some things would go missing... it was very unnoticeable unless you were paying attention.
Then the windows start up acreen would freeze for 5 minutes sometimes almost as if somethinf had froze the screen so that I wouldn't be able to see whats happening(Basically started getting worse - passwords being changed on me etc... - would lose my elevated privledges almost as if I was just a guest account)...
I even tried using CMD in dos to get my permission settings back and at first this would work but then the dos/cmd commands(whoami / ICACLS / and a few other commands would not work and say they don't exist... I also started to notice the size of my harddrive change.. I was never able to get it back to the right amount of GB. I tried to restore it many different methods as well (win7, linux, dos) nothing worked.. I then also noticed the MBR would constantly become corrupt and same with the hard drive.
So I looked into things and figured it must be the bios or cmos.. I tried to flash it and just decided I would start from scratch... However, everytime the computer restarts the old cmos/bios is back. I then also found things saved on (A: , B: and X) ... They were all write protected so I decided to pull the hard drive out. They still showed up even if I had the hard drive removed.
** X: is the boot drive as well so every time I tried to reinstall anything a bunch of extra files would get installed as well**
**Drive B had a volume named RamDrive..**
I ran some system/ tests in dos on the memory and kept getting errors but would not tell me what the problem was I finally figured out that it was a system error because the range went higher(above the 4gb that it's supposed to be)..
Now 4 laptops ruined... I just got a new laptop (win8.1) was never used and had never been turned on and after the initial startup/setup had extra software etc and now is stuck in infiniti boot loop....
Also similar stuff has happend or is happening with fax/printer, pvr, tv, ipad, iPhone, Android, wii, ps3, ps4.. dvd player, basically all media devices and anything wireless..
I have seen lots of evidence on remote connections through IOT, P2P/PHP, IPv4, IPv6, ssl, http(local group/work group) now it seems like things are communicating through a technique called air hopping or coupling. (RF, NFC, WIFI, IR, GPS/GSM, RFID, Altel Bluetooth and a few others). **I can remove the wireless card and laptops still connect**
They even got into a desktop computer that has no wirelsss or bluetooth card... and never gets plugged into the internet. Odd internet type numbers started calling my house phone also my house phone if I unplugged it etc... then powered it back up and didn't set date or time it would reset itself... The play stations would turn on and off them self... I tried reformattibg and missing a huge amount of GB.
Also, money was taken out of bank account as well.... anyone who goes to where this all is happening there cell phones get infected tooo... it seems to update tbe phones in fhe form of a push update aka broadcast signal.. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated...
another thing i noticed was files like index.dat/index.ini... desktop.ini. doubles of everything in my registry... and the fonts i couldnt change or delete... i noticed files from other devices listed on my phones and vice versa for things listed on the computer... if this isnt the right place for this i apolohgize...
also it appears as if my phone is rooted.. judging by the files and folders that are on my phone but it says not rooted. there is apps installed that i didnt put there and cant remove without being rooted.. my phones are constantly connected. factory reset doesnt work anymore... Neither does wipe cache. also constantly streaming data even if data is off and airplane mode. i keep seeng something about a 299-amtel.. redirect in any and all browsers...lots of adware as well.
im not even sure i will be able to ge back on here... if not you can try emailing me [email protected]... i appreciate any and all help.. thank you and sorry for the grammer juat trying to type this as fast as possible.

Your MEANINGLESS title is discouraging people from helping you.
Please at least use a simple sentence to summarize your problem in your title.
Anyway from what you're saying, you should report to the police, or if you have some friend with network and PC knowledge, ask him for help.

[Q] A500 Acer Iconia

Good morning all,
Please go easy on me! I've done some quite extensive searching and trying different things out on my Acer A500 to get it working again. The story;
I bought some tablets to try and fix, things like broken screens etc. I want to try and fix them and give them to local youth clubs and things for them to use as they were asking for odd bits and bobs, for use in their groups, so obviously trying to keep costs down where possible. I've got an Acer Iconia A500 amongst them.
Firstly I bought a charger, charged up fine. Pressed the power and it went to an android screen, looked like it was loading. Then didn't, just hung. Switched it off tried it again, didn't go as far as the android, just hung on Acer screen. I noticed there was an SD card in there, pulled the back off and took it out, looked like someone had put the back cover on whilst leaving the SD in and it snapped the SD card. Put it back together went to the Acer screen and hung.
After much searching I tried the update.zip, which many were taking about. One of the ones I tried started to load and stopped at 25%. Tried a few times, still hung. Tried others and instead of having a loading bar, it had the Android guy with the spinning ball, then he falls over and has a red exclamation mark over him. Reading various other threads, and watching videos some people where saying that the update.zip is inside the download (extract the. Zip was mentioned in various threads) which maybe called "Acer_A500_Gen.........." I can't find anything like that, I've purely just been renaming the download to update.zip. As none of this was working, I tried the computer based approach, but as the tablet doesn't boot properly the PC doesn't recognise it, it see it, starts loading a driver and fails, so it seems I can't communicate with the tablet via a pc either.
Could someone help please? I don't know whether I'm renaming the downloads properly, or whether I should be using something else, I can't communicate with it via a pc (using Windows OS) really quite stuck, but after seeing it start to load I do still have faith that it's fixable?
Thanks in advance and sorry about the massive story!

Rooting PBSKD12 Playtime Pad

My Daughter won a PBS Playtime Pad at a Local PBS event. Its an android tablet with Android 6.0, 1.3GHz Quad Core Processor, 1GB Ram, 16GB Internal Flash memory with a micro SD slot for up to 32 GB and a 7' 1024x600 HD Display. I'm wondering if its able to be rooted at all to free up some memory. It tends to fill its ram fast really slowing its performance cause it has a ton of useless apps in the back round running even when in Play time mode. Playtime mode is supposed to "freeze" all apps and only allow the PBS kids apps work but it still tends run them making some of the games unplayable making my 2 year old upset. Any help or info on this would be awsome

This is the Ematic PBSKD12 running 6.0.1/MOB30R/20170505 also sold as the Ematic Funtab3.
Like most other Android tablets, it can be rooted.
Hold down the power AND both volume up and down buttons to get to the Android recovery screen.
Root the system using ADB, usbhost, or extSD.

i have a pbskd7001 that I am having problems with went to install an update and half way though the update it ran in to an error now the system will get to the logo screen and shut down right away or when I try to go in to recovery mode it shows the recovery mode android guy laying down with the stomach door open but that's all it show like the recovery mode is blank. i have tryed the button combo trick with no luck letting the tablet die compleatly and then turning it back on and nothing my computer wont even install a driver it just shows as a usb develper device thats it any thing i can do to fix this problem or is it just dead?

You're gonna have to find the system image and adb install it... But that is if you have adb turned on of course. I am busy at the moment. I can make you a img. to flash. I haven't done any research but I'm sure this tablet is compatible with another tablet except this just has pbs plastered all over it. I think it's a piece of crap! My mom just bought my kids 1 each and it's more of a pain in the ass than it is enjoyable! It's slower then a smail without a shell, it's just a piece of crap! But if you still need help let me know and tonight I will create a img for you to adb install.

PBSSKD12
So I have this tablet too for my kids and I would love some pbs removed os if you could send the stuff you had for the other guy that'd be much appreciated ill follow through with flashing the new os @SICKMADE

Ematic tablet
He @SICKMADE can you send me that .img file because my sons tablet got stuck on boot screen and i tried to reset it and it still dont work. I tried to root it too. my email is [email protected]

Did anyone get that adb to install?

I have a tablet i bought from someone and can not get it past this screen, pretty sad about it. Anyone got an image that we can flash to root?

Im also looking for an image to flash.

Did anyone ever succeed at solving this problem? My sons PBS Kids Tablet less than 90 days old started acting funny, it's it would get hung up on the startup screen and not go past, it was purchased at Walmart and is past the 30 days return period. I accessed the android recovery screen attached is a recent capture of it I and did a factory reset, the only problem is now when it gets to where you set up the password and kids info, it just reboots and won't let you go past it, I"ve tried everything, tried resetting again, nothing, when it's not in the setup or when in the boot menu, it stays on so I think it's not a hardware issue, I don't know if it's the latest update or what, but If I solve this issue my son will be happy and being he's autistic and special needs that means alot. If I don't get any replies I guess this thread here is dead, I will have to start a new thread.

Need serious help please!

Hey!
So I have been using an android phone from 3 years now and I have been stuck in an huge problem! And I need your help in order to solve this problem. Here is the problem so basically I have a Freetel nico (Japanese brand) which is about 3 to 4 years now running on top of stock kitkat rom or in other words the same rom when I unboxed it. After few months my screen cracked on the bottom near the capacitive touch keys. After the crack the home buttom stopped working! I was all okay with that and the next day my notification panel started glitching and stopped showing any notifications which was really annoying. Now I knew that there some serious problem, so I taught of resetting the phone so I went in the setting and tried factory reset. After few minutes it didn't go to system recovery but the phone just restarted itself. I tried it once again and got the same problem, next step I had was to hard reset it by going into the recovery. When I hold the button and let go it didn't take me to the recovery this time also. So in conclusion I came to know that there was no recovery inside the phone (I did erase the phone through recover about 2 times before this incident everything went well during that time). Moving on I rooted the phone and installed SuperSU and other softwares that could install recovery mode to the phone. I got the same result this time also, I also tried installing a different rom through the stock system update app same result.... After a year of all this work I taught it would be best just giving it to the company service center but I came to know that the company had no longer selling this device and there is no service available .
After all of that tries above I still continued to solve this problem I tried ADB resetting it through pc no luck here also! So if you guys could recommend me some apps or softwares I could try in order to reset my phone please do let me know in the comments. Or you could also ask any scripts that you want to know from the phone which could solve the problem I can do that also!
Thank you
