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
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?

http://kazzi.net/tips-tricks/revive...r-deadly-close-the-battery-cover-message.html
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.
Hello,
So i noticed alot of people having trouble finding this ROM with the ZET6223/WTA drivers, here is a quick guide and a download link (had to remove the original on another topic as it was being shared on various forums with no link back) please if you share this link it back to xda!
**This guide asumes you know how to use adb and you have the correct usb drivers, also please note this is for the 9'inch version but may work on the 7, please reply to thread with details if it does**
GUIDE: Step.1: Once downloaded extract it to desktop, then open live suit (i personally used version 1.09), select option no on the update wizard, then click select image, locate the image extracted from the download, keep this live suit window open whilst you perform step 2.
Step.2: While you're tablet is powered off fully (there will be no lights) connect it to the usb port on you're laptop/desktop, the tablet will automatically attempt to start up, whilst still keeping the tablet connected via usb press and hold the power button on it for around 6 seconds until it powers off again, (you may see a red light to indicate its charging this is normal) now that the tablet is off press and hold the volume up key and quickly tap the power button 6 times, wait until you see a box popup on you're desktop/laptop on live suit saying to format the tablet, then release the volume button and proceed to pressing yes to format the tablet via the live suit window, it will then preform the flashing and should take anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes, once it has completed the tablet will boot up normally, disconnect the usb cable.
Hopefully if you followed this correctly and used the provided firmware you're tablet should function as intended. If you get stuck or require a talk through it including how to get adb/live suit ect feel free to skype me on id: chunk1189.

please help me to solve this problem
thank you for your time.
Good day!
I am posting here in the hope it helps someone. If I am posting in the wrong place or doing something else wrong please do let me know.
I am going to post some links & some text instructions but will explain the outline first.
I own a Lenovo A8-5500-H tablet, lenovo H variants according to the internet are made with the same hardware as their HV varients but a different ROM. H's have 3g data & wifi but not voice calling, HV's have 3d data & wifi & voice calling. After some googling & translating from Russian I discovered the ROM for the H but not the HV, then a few days ago the HV was posted - with the most dreadful instructions in Russian that translated poorly & still involved some faffing around. Anywho I can confirm that you can load the HV rom onto the H and get the 3g calls and all the other pre installed lenovo stuff. The phone is not rooted. The only advantage is that the H is about £50 less than the HV to purchase.
I have permission of the author to share his program and the rom. My links are to the russian lenovo forum where you may have to register.
After the links I will put my own instructions (within this post) which are much easier to follow than russian ones. Again I hope this helps someone.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/582-lenovo-a8-a5500-a5500hv-a442-000-017-140709-row-call/ this is th a8-5500-hv rom.

ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
This is not a direct translation. This provides directions for installing the Lenovo A8-5500-HV Rom onto a Lenovo A8-5500-H device for the perpose of making 3g calls. I have tested this function and method and verify that it works.
However I take no responsibility for you or you device.
Apparently with Lenovo wherever they have a H & HV variant the hardware is the same and the ROMs interchangeable. I have not verified this.
Lets go!
1. Don't Panic. If it doesn't work, you should not have bricked your device, just reload the original ROM.
2. Equipment needed - USB lead to attach device to PC / laptop, preferably the original but another powered lead will do the job ... Your tablet ... a laptop or PC ....
3. Files needed .. Original rom for if you go wrong, called A5500H_A442_000_013_140526_ROW at the time of writing. The new Rom called A5500HV_A442_000_017_140709_ROW, the drivers called LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10
4. Time, less than an hour. Maybe half that time.
Apparently 99% of lenovo phones & tablets use the same driver. If yours doesn't I may be able to help but I may not.
(Potential problems:
Windows XP can get confused. You may need to install windows media player 11.)
5. On the PC / Laptop
Unzip the driver file and run it.
6.Unzip the new rom.
7. Have device manager open. You want the tablet to show as MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM port (COM44) or some variant of this. so on Windows 7 or 8 install the divers (without the tablet plugged in).
8. Ensure your tablet is TURNED OFF (seriously this is not a typo) and plug it in. If you the the meditek stuff all well and good. If not you have to be QUICK
9. In the 2 seconds that the device manager says unknown device, right click on it and update driver (pointing the to previously unzipped driver files).
10. Remove the tablet from the laptop / PC
11. Run Flash_tool.exe which is part of the unzipped rom.
12. Click on scatter loading.
13. Go to the folder target_bin and select the file MT6582_scatter_LVP5-3G-ROW-Voice.1.017.01
14. Tick the box called DA-DL with all Checksum (again dont panic if you forget - it just wont work & you have to try again)
15. Click button called Upgrade firmware.
16. Plug in the still powered off tablet. there will be some flashing. If not check the tablet to make sure it's not doing anything, unplug phone, wait a minute and start again.
17. When you see a bright green circle it is complete.
18. You may now unplug your tablet and turn it on.
If you are using the software with another lenovo device, if the battery is removable please do so before plugging into the PC / Laptop.
All ROM & software work was by Steaven on the Lenovo Forum. Google translate, common sense, guesswork and trial and error provided by MSU in order to provide English directions that make sense.

I got stuck at this point. But I know why. Win7 x64 bit system and I can only install signed drivers! None of these drivers have a digital signature.
I shall go dig out an old XP system I have and see how it goes.
Are we absolutely certain that regular windows drivers will not do for this process?
And has anyone rooted one of theses yet? And has anyone worked out how people can move application data (Maps for Navfree I am thinking of) from the internal memory to an SD Card?
Many thanks for your info on this.
Des. . .
If you go into the settings you can select 'allow unsigned drivers' , or go through the device manager and do the driver that way, or just click 'continue anyway' I have w7x64 and this worked fine....
I've not rooted it yet. But I don't need to now I have phone calls.
It lets me install to SD card as in the settings on the lab I selected sd card as my main storage point...there are a few apps however that wont flag up the option.
I hope some of the above helps.
Hi,
I did find This topic in my travels as it seemed that all the drivers in the download you mentioned were for "Lenovo" this or that.
For the moment I have that installed and the device flashes to a point and then seems to stop...
Or maybe I'm impatient..
Des. . .
Hi,
Ahhh... Sneaky tablet..
So, when plugging in the USB I noticed that it would "semi-start and show a power/charge indicator. This would disappear after a minute and all would go dark. So whilst I thought the tablet was off, it wasn't. I thought about this for a moment and then pressed and held the power button. That did turn it off for real.
I also noticed that the ROM updated also became much more agitated and active, with a light green bar at the bottom actually seeming to do the ROM update.
And yes, with the driver I linked to and really powering off once plugged in and then clicking the "Update ROM" button all was updated.
Can I just confirm, does your Lenovo have GPS as well?

That says "What month of the year the third in a row" according to google!
Bing is less cryptic: "What month in year third". So March should be the answer.
I managed to register, eventually. Do make sure to check the two last boxes, one is for Admin emails and the other is to accept the terms and conditions.

Hi,
Ahhh... Sneaky tablet..
So, when plugging in the USB I noticed that it would "semi-start and show a power/charge indicator. This would disappear after a minute and all would go dark. So whilst I thought the tablet was off, it wasn't. I thought about this for a moment and then pressed and held the power button. That did turn it off for real.

Hi Des
I am experiencing the same problem with powering the device completely off. Could you go step by step on how you are doing this? Like, at what stage are you pressing and holding the power button and for how long are you holding it for? When I tried it, the tablet just rebooted.
Thanks.
Norman
Hi,
1) Power off the tablet: no power or USB connected to the device.
2) Fire up the firmware update software on the PC, USB cable in and ready.
3) Select the ROM to update with in the software.
4) Plug in the USB cable to the tablet. At this point you should see the green battery charging image on the tablet.
5) Press power off for a couple of seconds (2-3). Tablet should now be turned off.
6) Fire up the software/ROM update on the PC.
If you see the updater flash through the first stages of the update and then seeming pause when doing the actual ROM update the tablet is on. Press power off again. You should then see the update actually loading onto the tablet. Should take about 5-10 minutes from there.
Luck...

If so read through the topic get the drivers I linked to.
Install the flash tool if you haven't already.
When you connect the device via USB, do you see the battery charge on screen? If so press power for avcouple of seconds.
Flash a full A8-5500 ROM for your f.

Hi Des!
I follow your list and the tablet is rebooting every time! :crying:
I simply can't turn it off!
Any suggestion?
Thanks, Andrew
Hi,
Power it off first. When powered up press and hold the power button. Select Power off from the menu.
Get the laptop/PC ready with the image, plug the usb cable into the laptop/pc and then the tablet.
You should see the green battery icon on screen showing charge state.
When it has gone, press and hold the power again for about 2 seconds.
Then try the firmware update.

Hi,
Thanks for your help, but when I "press and hold the power again for about 2 second" the tablet is rebooting!
With a shorter power press i can switch the secreen on/off, but a longer press reboot it every time!
My battery icon is a big blue one, not a green one! Maybe i have a different version?
Model number: Lenovo A5500-H
Android: 4.4.2
Build number:A5500H_A442_00_025_141027_ROW
Hm?
Andrew
Hi,
All I can suggest is trial and error. It took me a a couple of goes to get it right.
But when you see that battery icon you know the device is on. Maybe a 1 second press? If I remember, you may feel a slight vibration to indicate that the tablet goes off. Soon as you feel that let go of the power button.
Mine was an A8-50 5500H but is now HV

Hello!, this is my first post so i hope it will help you
Links:
http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/nl/producten/smartphones/pop_c9.html#.VZw1Txvtmko (Alcatel messes with there links so tell me if the link is out-dated)
Step 1.
Download and install the program from the Alcatel website (Mobile Upgrade S).
Step 2.
Now open the program and select your language, now find your phone model in the list and select it. Mine is 'One Touch 7047' so i will be selecting that one. ( if your model number has a 'D' or 'A' after it, dont look at that, we only need the numbers!)
Step 3.
OK, for this you need your phone to be TURNED OFF, NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR PC YET,! It also says your phone needs to be fully charged so it cant interrupt the download, that depents on your Model and PC, my phone charges when connected to the PC, but if youre not sure, also CHARGE IT.
Step 4.
And now you have to connect your phone to the PC. Now it will search for the latest Android version compatible with your device (Dont think you can select a newer version phone, because you will probably and up with a bootloop again).
Once it found one it will start downloading the packets! (The servers are sometimes pretty fast, but most time it is a pain in the ass!
It will most time take about 2 to 3 hours to download.
