daxian x999+ not booting

Hi All,
i am looking for someone who can tell me how i can repair this phone?
The problem that i am having is that it is not booting anymore. Hard reset works, but it doesn't go further then the blue windows screen. Sometimes it goes further, but after a reset it's back to a brick again.
anyone has a clue?
regards

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you tell me what are you done?
Please

Personally I think it is bad memory inside the phone. I had one of these phones and it died on me in the same manner, I don't think the chips they use in the phones are that great. If a hard reset doesn't work you'll have to probably send it back for warranty.

Hi,
Mine just has the same problem yesterday after using it for almost a year.
It has been a great phone for me.
I chat with the vendor in China. They said I have to pay both-way shipping charges if I decide to send it back for repair!
What have you guys done with it, please share.
Thank you

[Q] total bricked no switched on anymore

My motorola xoom 3G does not switch on anymore after trying to install rommanager .
it does totaly nothing anymore
charging is ok .
no even a bootscreen .
anyone a idea ?
pwer + vol min => no result
power and everything else => no result
anyone a idea

Does adb see your device?

try holding power and volume up.

Try holding down the vol+power for more than (30 seconds)
Ive heard that has worked with others.

thanks all for your replays
volume + power => device is not responding
volume + power (30sec) => device does not responding
ADB does NOT see my device .
anyone any other idea because i am in europe and dont want to send it back to the US
Can it be the on/off button itself ? someone else the same problem ?

Hi,
same problem here. - I messed with "partition sd card" in recovery mode. Any ideas?

I've sent it back to change for a new one...

I learned this the hard way. There is a bug in clockwork mod 3.0.2.5 that bricks your device if you partition the device using it. I bricked my xoom and had to mail it in too.
So: DO NOT PARTITION THE DEVICE IN CWM 3.0.2.5!

Add me to list, wish that I would read this thread before messing around with CWM. So does Motorola repair or replace the Xoom? Is there any cost to this procedure? I'm waiting for Motorola to ship me the box to ship the Xoom in for repair.

This is exactly what happened to me, anyone know of a fix yet?

wow, this should be stickied here and general.

There is no fix. I am assuming that you formatted/partitioned the nand on the xoom itself. If you did that......you're sol I would assume.

I have heard that going into the xoom and disconnect/reconnect battery may work. Anyone else think thats a good idea?

Go buy another Xoom and don't do stupid things to it.

I too would like to get a better understanding to the point of your posting?

Yeah unfortunately that seems to be the case -- SOL
Anything asking to partition, format, etc, is usually a red flag for myself. I remember when it asked me to format my Storage Device when I connected it to my laptop while I had Tiamat on my Xoom. My immediate thought, 'Oh hell no I won't!', was WORSE CASE SCENARIO so I immediately clicked NO and moved on.
Doing stuff to your device is risky business... sometimes its best to let your gut instinct steer you away from certain things Sorry mate and good luck! I'm sure Moto will fix you up

If after reading my response you still don't understand my point, I welcome private messages where I will be happy to share with you my philosophy.
You assume all risks and responsibility when you decide to remove the factory installed software from your device and install modified 3rd party software. If one of those risks involves bricking your device and rendering it useless then it's your fault and not the manufacturers. Sending one off to be replaced under warranty is akin to theft. THEREFORE: My advice if you do not know what the hell you are doing to the point of bricking your Xoom's is to quit trying to modify them.
With all that said, I feel bad for someone whos ruined a $600 dollar peice of equipment but nobody is forcing you to play with fire.

You will be a senior member too eventually, it's based on the number of posts. Not all "senior members" share your love and interest for rooting and running custom software. I am not against it either however I am against people taking their own risks and then asking someone else to be responsible for them.
I wouldn't modify my cars engine to run corn syrup, fill it with corn syrup, have my car not start and then call them for a warranty repair. Get it?

So you guys don't think I'm a complete hater, I've left a post in the official Motorola forums asking what someone should do if they've bricked their unit and will Motorola repair it under warranty. I'll get back to you with results.

Stuck at Bootlogo, no Backup/Fastboot/ADB

Hey guys,
after some research I found one suggestion that I can't test yet so maybe until my battery runs out one of you can help me:
I unlocked my TF300T ICS 4.0.3 and had CWM running. Probably because of some mistakes of mine it stopped booting at some point and now I can't access recovery, Fastboot, and when I was able to get into CWM, the internal storage didn't work, which is where the NAND backup was stored. Now it only shows the flat white ASUS logo with "device is unlocked" in the corner. When I try to turn it off it automatically reboots.
ADB shell can't find the device so I'm all out of ideas, except that I just read that that once it runs out of battery life the bootloader automatically resets. Maybe that'll help.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how or if I can actually fix this mess?

I let mine discharge all the way, and then I recharged it. I can confirm that it does NOT reset the bootloader.

Well, not totally. We are going to need a whole lot of help though to be able to get bootloader flashed. We can access the device via APX. I think we need the partition table information and the secure bootloader keys (which ASUS has to release to us) in order to use NvFlash to flash the bootloader. Word is that the developers who came up with this procedure for the TF201 are working on this, and have been for a couple of months. Hopefully, a bunch of people bricking their devices all of the sudden will turn up the urgency on this. I'm not holding my breath, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Happened to me too. I'm hoping that ASUS will fix it for a reasonable price. Otherwise I'm just going to get a Nexus 7.

Count me in on the bricked parade. Except I did mine a while back. I may be missing something but how do you get to APX mode? I just reformatted my computer so I haven't got drivers or ADB set up yet. I probably should try before asking, however I don't ever remember getting into it before.

You can get in to APX mode by switching it on, holding the volume up button and than use the pinhole reset while keeping the volume up button pressed. If you have it connected to your PC, it will show up. No drivers tho, so it probably won't bring you far.
The problem with waiting for an NVFLASH solution is that we probably need an adapted bootloader to start with for it to work. Since its impossible to make any changes to it without fastboot, I wonder if any solution will become availlable. I will wait another month or so, and then send it to ASUS if no solution is provided here.
I'm sure the costs for repair will be less than the $200 that the nexus costs (and to be true, although the Nexus is a great machine, it's not comparable to the wonderful TF300 )

I was quoted between $87 and $100 to "repair the OS" on my tablet. It's still at the Asus RMA center, so I have no update on what they did with it. I've been posting progress over in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825265&page=3

Yeah, I saw your posts somewhere else as well... All the best, I've been hearing horror-stories about having to replace the mainboard etc. That would be a bit too much, I imagine :-|

just a quick update:
i sent the transformer back to amazon and they took it back no questions asked.
phew...

Same happened to me, I sent it to Asus about a month ago, they just replayed to me with a mail, saying that is out of warranty because of the bootloader unlocked, and that is gonna cost me $122 for the mainboard, and $65 for labor, it seems that the mainboard got really bad bricked, and they are replacing it....
Really bad for me, but at least I would have it back...

Unfortunately NVflash will only run on unbricked ICS Bootloader devices. You have to flash some files before you can use the special APX for TF300. So if you are already bricked it will not help.

I've just been quoted $122 + $65 + $10 shipping. Which comes out to a shade under $200 total.
End of the line, folks.
I'm not paying Asus $200 to fix a $300 tablet, and I'm basically going to be throwing in the trash at this point if I get it back.

Soft Bricked asus tf300t without boot menu!!! Help Please

I've bricked my asus tf300t after installing JB V10.4.2.17 from asus website.
I had my tablet unlocked but when starting to pass select Data Wipe the boot menu.
The problem I have now is I can not access the boot menu and I can only connect using apx mode.
I can not select the mode for adb to connect because I have no access to the boot menu.
I think the only solution is to access the boot menu by apx but I can not repair the boot
(I insist I have only access to apx mode and found no solution around the forum)

there is no solution.
Only NVflash. but you have to have it before brick.

I resign myself to send to the U.S. for repair, I'm sure I'll have to pay 198 USD for repair which is the value of half of the tablet
I accept suggestions, ideas, or if they know of any quick solution plz let me know

Ya i'm pretty much in the same boat. I tried contacting the guys from MobileTechVideos, who are pretty well known for their jtag unbricking services. They said that they don't currently provide service for bricked TF300T.
Where do you live and how are you sure it's gonna cost you $200? I know some guys have gotten estimates of that much but I saw this other guy claim Asus did it for free.
Right now I'm thinking of selling it via craigslist or ebay for ~200 hopefully... hopefully..

I'm with both of you too, but managed this ICS. I contacted MobileTechVideos, and after he told me the JTag configuration was unknown I did a smidgen of research into it. Although all of it's above my head, and I did learn our chipset should be the Tegra 3 T30L. Same as the nexus 7 and A210. So if anyone figures out a configuration for those we might be in luck. Also if I read correctly if we could get the SBK (secure boot key), NVFlash would be useful even without a previous backup. If that's true that would be something we should look into. I'm sure they wouldn't be keen on the idea of letting that out though.

I'm from Chile, but the only solution seems to be to send the tablet to the U.S. for repair, case law in which you were charged 200 USD approx to change the motherboard.
That was because the tablet said was unlocked and mine too.

That's a bit idiotic on Asus' part. You would assume that Asus would be able to do a simple reflash instead of replacing the entire motherboard.

Hope it helps, good luck.

Guys, why would you want to feed the hyena that bites your hand at every chance it gets? Worst comes to worst, buy a USED (emphasis) motherboard off ebay and repair it yourself. There are plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it. I've done it numerous times myself. That way, you can still get it working again, while denying Asus a flagrant rip-off. I know they can just reflash the motherboard in most situations where the bootloader has been erased accidentally. Take a wild guess as to why they're so quick to suggest that the motherboard be replaced out of "necessity." Nothing hardware-wise is broken. How did they put the firmware in those machines in the first place? How's that different from your current situations? What could they do that they cannot now?

Hard reset possible somehow in black screen of death?

Got the Note 20 Ultra 5g a week ago used from a decent reseller. Today I got the black screen of death. Stock firmware.
I want to return the phone while I have the chance, no interest in trying to fix it. It is password protected but I would ideally like to hard reset it before it goes back. Can anyone tell me how when I can't get the screen to work?
Phone beeps etc so I think is live.
The power button + vol down does give a vibration after 10 seconds but never gets to a Samsung logo.
Power button + vol up does the same.
Tried connecting to a pc, no change. No dex message on the PC.
If anyone can tell me how to do this reset so I can wipe it for peace of mind I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Edit; I removed the sim cards and then the PC detected the phone, and offered to install Dex. If that helps.

Ok before you do anything else. Stop. If you void the warranty by changing anything you can't return it

You need to find a trusted phone store near you or call the support number for the phones manufacturer

Thanks for the advice. Appreciated.

So I did a little more digging and found a website imma give you the link I'll read through the rest of it, and advise you what seems safe but in the end what you do is up to u

So you need to go into recovery mode and try something simple what you are gonna wanna do is find where to wipe the cache partition and that should solve it. but I'm guessing you can't get into recovery otherwise you could factory reset it there

Thanks again.
>>I'm guessing you can't get into recovery
Correct. The phone is goig back to the seller as it is within the return window. I don't want to mess with it. I think that was good advice. Did Samsung ever say if they resolved this issue properly? It puts me off this model. Very expensive phone to suffer such a problem.
