Hy guys, I own a L02 and I was switching from developer to standard and then back to developer, mainly using this downgrade solution posted here on the forums.
As I did mainly "dirty" switches I have the feeling that something is not quite as it should be. I do not have a lot of problems but the one killing me is battery life. If before I was hitting almost 2 days of battery life, now I get only 1 and a bit. The nastiest surprise was yesterday when I had around 35% late in the afternoon and the phone went dead until morning without any usage.
Right now I am on 6.1.1 developer.
My idea would be to make a clean ROM install (in my case of 6.1.1) but I would like to know which is the best alternative. If I do it from the system settings or from recovery I do not have the certainty that this will be a "clean" wipe out and restore.
I was thinking on the method with the 3 buttons (power & vol+ & vol- from when the phone is shut down) and the dload folder on SD card with my ROM, but I would like a confirmation that this will reach the results that I am targeting.
Thank you chaps!
performed a "3 buttons reset" (with phone shutted down power & vol- & vol+) with a full 6.1.1 EMUI ROM on SD card in "dload" folder. Fully reset the phone, I had to reconfigure it fully, but I am very happy with the result: only 3% battery drain over night!

Had my G tablet for a month now and I've rooted it a couple of times (to tnt lite,) but I've since resorted to the latest update from the mfg. Its fast enough and I can get most of the aps I'm intersted in with the stock cfg.
Problem is, it occasionally hangs, usually in the middle of a web surfing session. The hang is complete, meaning I can't even shut down. the only remedy I've found is to set the tablet aside and wait till the battery runs down. Then I charge it, boot up, and everything's back to normal again.
Has anyone else seen this happen and is there a way to prevent/cure it?
thanks.

First off you say you rooted a couple of TIMES? Do you mean flashed a couple of times? Regardless if it locks up again then hold the power button till it powers off. Then you should be able to reboot.
thanks, but...
when I say its locked up I mean locked up. The on/off button is inoperative. I've held it for varying lengths of time, up to 15 seconds and nothing happens.
When I said that I had rooted it several times I mean that I've taken it from stock to tnt lite twice. Its now unrooted and stock again and working fine. (till the next time it locks up, that is-)
but thanks for replying

Try doing a factory reset as well as wiping the internal memory. There are several ways to do this, but only one way on stock. I won't ask you to go back to using Clockword Mod if you no longer have it on there so I'll go through the stock way first, and then the CWM way in case you have it installed.
Prep: Copy out anything you figure you need from there. I don't recommend backing up because if you back up a corrupt or faulty app then you're going to restore it and your problems with it.
So copy your stuff off that you don't have otherwise, maybe downloaded wallpapers or whatever. Best method is just to copy them right to your PC I'd say. Do this from both internal storage and the SD if you have that installed as I recommend you wipe that as well.
Stock:
Go into settings to security and do a factory reset. After the factory reset, don't bother setting up, go back into the settings and to storage and wipe the SD card if you have one installed. You'll have to unmount it first I think. After that, wipe your internal user storage. This is going to 1. reset the tablet's OS and system software/settings to factory defaults and 2. remove any gunk that may have gotten on there and is messing things up. Since Apps generally don't overwrite their settings on purpose, I recommend wiping them and putting them back over clearing data/clearing cache for each app. You start over with more or less a clean slate this way.
Clockwork Mod:
Go into CWM and wipe your data as well as the cache. Wipe Dalvik as well, for good measure. When the tablet starts back up, go to storage and wipe the SD as well as the internal storage, again, just for good measure.
Once you're all done, power the tablet off and then on again and do your thing.
If the tablet STILL messes up after a few days then it could mean that there's some hardware at fault. My tablet has never frozen like that before to the extreme where I'd have to sit and wait for it to die...and afaik that's def. not something that should occur often. I have seen other members report it, but they've usually done some 'heavy' tweaking like repartitioned their internal storage and other things like that.
People may recommend that you re-partition, etc. but I'd just try to exchange it and try my luck at another unit before getting into all of that UNLESS you have indeed partitioned or altered the internal storage manually before this started happening - in which case you may have it partitioned incorrectly and should def. try getting it back to the default using CWM, HOWEVER, if you did not do this and all you really did was install TnT lite then I'd do the exchange.
Good Luck.
thanks
Your advice and your instructions on how to address this problem are VERY helpful. Thanks.

Hi All,
I've recently updated my Desire S to CM10.1 using a ROM off here --> [ROM][XXYYYZZ][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1.
Everything has been running fine until I found the "Simulate Secondary Displays" button under Developer Options and decided it would be cool to see what it does...
The kicker:
a) Screen is now stuck exactly where it was on the Developer Options prior to selecting a screen resolution
b) Holding down power button for any period of time does nothing
c) Holding down Volume up + Volume down + Power for any period of time does nothing
d) The computer recognizes the phone as it makes it's lovely "new device found" sound, but stupidly, at some point I've disabled USB debugging so can't use adb to reboot as it returns authorisation error (The authorisation option doesn't pop-up on device screen as it's frozen).
I've read about this exact problem happening on other phones after selecting this option but they all seem to be able to use either b) or c) to get back to bootloader to reflash the ROM.
So, my question: if I let the battery die, what are my chances? I've read myself out of pulling the battery due to eMMC issues. Unfortunately the damn battery was mostly full so could take a long while to drain :S
Thanks!
So let the battery die (takes about a day), boot to recovery, wipe data (or figure out where this setting is stored and delete the relevant file), no problem. I don't see the issue here.
Pulling the battery out doesn't cause eMMC issues. The problem is caused if you pull the battery out and then put it straight back in. Remove the battery, leave it out for a minute or so and then put it back in and manually boot into recovery.

Ah, that's interesting. Is there any reference material available to explain why that is the case? What is physically happening here?

Apologies, it wasn't a particularly open question. It was more out of frustration that there is an option available that will always freeze the phone when it isn't supported on the device.
I let it die then used recovery to clear cache and davlik cache and booted fine until freezing on the "Optimising apps" screen. Let it die again, clear all data, clear cache, clear davlik cache, restore nand successfully.... Boots to HTC then black screen, no response to anything, same as when it first froze.
EDIT:
Repeat same process but clear cache and davlik cache after nand restore... black screen, no response. Cant even tell if it is actually doing anything. Charge light doesnt come on when plugged into pc whilst on black screen.
All I can think of now is flash the CM10.1 ROM again or maybe restoring the original nand from before CM10 but will have to be after work. Is this behavior indicative of a larger (potentially physical) problem?!

From what I remember - there was some in-depth discussion on one of our threads about 18 months ago - the actual cause is that re-inserting the battery while the circuitry is discharging causes a spike which can be high enough to blow the eMMC.
Just to let you know, reflashed CM10.1 ROM and all is well in the world again Thanks guys for replying!
However, NAND restore did not work. As the NAND backup is supposed to be the be-all and end-all for phone recovery, should I be concerned this failed?
My tablet froze on me and I powered it down to restart it and then it went into what folks on here call a bootloop. After holding down Power and volume down, it brought me to a screen that had three icons and I chose the one on the right by mistake and now it's looping again, but instead of the Asus screen with the refreshing icon, it's the android falling with an Error on his chest after quickly flashing Installing System Update.
The power volume combo works no more and the only way I can shut off my tablet completely is to use the power and volume up button. I can't get back to screen with the three icons no matter how many times I try.
I've already resolved myself to purchasing a new device, so my main concern is recovering the data, slim as that might be. Any recommendations?
Also, note that Ive never rooted or installed anything on my tablet. No roms or kernels or any other modifications. If I can get my data by any means necessary, I'd be satisfied, even If I Ihad to open it and retrieve the harddrive.
Hopefully Ive explained myself sufficently for you guys to help me. Cheers.

If I read your post correctly, you selected the right icon which is a Wipe data from your bootloader. When you executed that Wipe data, it will wipe everything on your internal SD including your /media folder or your personal files and data... The chance is very slim unless someone knows how to recover data from a wipe. Technically, your data is still there but it is only a dumb files which contain only 0's and 1's. Some recovery tools may be able to retrieve your data but I don't have that knowledge.. I hope that someone will be able to help you out and good luck...:fingers-crossed:
I'm afraid LMK is right: Your data is gone.
Do I suspect correctly that you interrupted the Wipe Data process after selecting it "accidentally"?
Choosign Wipe Data from the bootloader causes the BL to write a command to the misc partition to start the recovery and wipe the data partition. If you interrupted the process, there's no telling what and where that got corrupted - unless you just let it loop and pray that it finishes the wipe process which would erase the BL command. Connect it to power and let it loop for a few hours. What have you got to loose?
But your data is gone either way - sorry.
Morning, cheeky question(s)
Where are you located, and would you be interested in selling your bricked TF700? I have a broken screen among other things and would be interested in buying your tablet for spares if you are getting a new one?
PM me if you are interested.
Thank you
Freddie
I'm not all too sure what the Icon on the left wad, but I'm sure it said RKU or some sort. I would have given up all hope if I had hit the wipe data on the right.
Days recovery aside, is there anyway I can get my looped tablet to work? I plugged it into a comp and it didn't recognise it.
Yesterday I put my phone to charge over night and when I woke up today's morning I was met with a Black Screen with a status bar and Software Back button, that doesn't do anything. Rebooting in recovery doesn't work (TWRP just stuck on loading screen). I can receive notifications, but can't interact with them. I can Turn on and off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc. through status bar. I can't open Settings or any App. I can't reboot with out removing battery, can't hard reset and if I power off phone from Power menu it won't start again, when I hold down Power button, unless I remove battery.
Some Details about phone:
LG Max x155
Android 5.0.2
Custom AOSP (installed long time ago, never faced this problem)
TWRP 3.0.3.
I searched internet and tried some things:
Rebooting (didn't work at all)
Hard Reseting (didn't work at all)
Removing Battery putting it back and then powering on (didn't help)
Entering Safe mode (didn't help, it shows same issue, though it briefly shows my Home screen before going black)
Doing anything with Recovery, like wiping, reinstalling ROM etc. doesn't work, because TWRP won't load
Some other details:
I am using different charger (but I have used it for several days already). Phone was overcharged over night.
Now I am trying to drain the battery to zero and then charging it again, using my old charger. If it won't help I don't know what can be done.

Do a google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Then reinstall TWRP, then flash your 5.0ROM and Gapps. Don't forget to factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache when you flash the ROM.

I figured it out. My SD Card burnt and caused this issue. I removed it and the phone's fine.
I've been using HTC U11 Plus as my main phone since the day it came out. I absolutely love this phone. In my opinion it's the best phone I've ever had. I never felt the need to get a new phone. I've been gaming, working, etc. and I never had any issue with it.
Two days ago all of a sudden while using my phone it got stuck. None of the button were working and the screen also had response so I pressed and hold the Power button and Volume Down button to boot into recovery mode. So i could clear cache and reboot again but my phone doesn't seem to reboot. It just turns off when I select reboot now. I even tried "Wipe data/factory reset from the Recovery menu options" and then delete all user data option and then Reboot system now to restart your phone. Still no luck. As soon as I press on reboot system my phone just turns off and doesn't reboot or turn on at all.
Even when I put my phone on charging there is not light to indicate that my phone is charging at all.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Same problem here... Screen flashed white, phone rebooted to encryption screen to enter pin, then powered off... Hasn't been back on since (thins happened in October 2021).
I'm interested in a possible way to get the data off the phone, even if some parts swapping is involved.
PS. I changed the battery thinking it was that, but the phone still isn't coming on or showing the red battery charging light.
I guess it is time for you both to use ADB. When installed properly you should be able to see your phone in device manager on Windows systems. That in itself would be a good starting point. Or just fire up ADB and check if ADB detects your phone. If you are unfamiliar with ADB, Google it.
In ADB use: *.\adb devices* (without the *) If it works properly you should get a return with a device number. You could then flash a boot image or system image or both and see if your phone start's up again.
Hello,
same Issue here.
Solution is to heat up the Phone above 50°C and hold the temperature while it run and copy Data.
I have spend 40h+ to Backup Data and heat up the Phone.
Seems for me to the same problem like the RROD at Xbox360.
