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.
Hello,
I'm trying to get an Alcatel Idol X (One Touch 6040D, no custom roms or modifications) out of a crash loop, but have been unsuccessful so far. The trouble started when the phone wanted to download and install text-to-speech voice data ("Female for English"). At some point this download/install crashes, causing the phone to reboot. When rebooting the phone hangs on the Alcatel screen with white background. I have to power it off then on again. Then it boots and starts the download/installation again, causing it to crash seconds after.
I've tried the following to no avail:
Clear cache partition from recovery menu.
Force stopping "Download Manager" and clearing cache & data. I have to be very quick to do this, otherwise the phone reboots. Unfortunately clicking the clear buttons has no effect. The used disk space stays the same (80.00KB data, 12.00KB cache). The phone will not reboot at this point, but many apps (Google Play, Settings,...) and processes are crashing repeatedly (android.process.acore, android.process.media and com.google.process.gapps). Eventually, so much has stopped working that the phone reboots.
There's a thread, I found almost a month ago on Androidcentral, about this very same problem. But what worked for the thread starter and other people, i.e. the clearing of cache and data of the "Download Manager" doesn't work for me. Probably because the cache/data clearing is not actually executed. So that might be something to look into further. See point two above. My replies in that thread haven't been responded too, unfortunately.
I'm aware that the cleanest solution is probably a factory reset from the recovery menu. However that would mean data loss of photos and app data, that haven't been backed up. My main goal is to get the phone into a state that a recovery/syncing of that data can be done. After, I don't mind doing a factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. There is no forum specifically for the Alcatel Idol X but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. One thing you could try would be temporarily remove the SIM and stay away from your usual WIFI hotspots, then try booting the phone. There is small chance that it would cause the Download Manager to give up and quit in an orderly fashion, but I'm merely guessing. Since your device is not widely used, please be patient and give the experts in the Q&Q forum plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!
Hello Mike,
thanks for your reply. The trouble I'm having seems not specific to the Alcatel Idol X. In the thread on Androidcentral, people with Samsung and LG devices experienced the same crash loop.
Removing the sim and disabling Wifi had no effect on the problem. Curiously enough I'm not able to enable Wifi again.
How do I proceed with asking the question in General Android Q&A? Do I just create a new thread and copy/paste the content of my initial post? Or does a moderator have to move the thread?
Kind regards,

The easiest way would be for you to create a new thread with all the information that the members there will need to come up with suggestions for you. For future reference: if you want to make sure your data can be easily recovered or transferred from one device to another, consider using the Google sync option (generally found in Settings as "Backup and Reset" or some similar name) that allows you, for example, to recover most apps and data after a factory reset. Someone in the Q&A Forum is bound to have some ideas for you.
Once again, good luck!
Thanks again, Mike. New thread created here.
I will definitely be more vigilant about syncing and backuping!
Cheers,

I have recently purchased a Wikipad 7 tablet and have been using it for a few weeks. I rooted the tablet using KingoRoot and the root was successful. Using a app included with the root called Superuser I deleted some system files I considered safe to do so in order to speed up the tablet and free up some space and the tablet worked fine after doing so. A couple of days later, I decided to perform a factory reset in order to get rid of multiple large files I had downloaded but could not have the effort to find. The reset went as normal until I tried connecting to wifi in the setup wizard. A screen showing 'Connecting to wifi' appears for some time before the message 'Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.' appears and I'm taken back the first screen where I have to choose my language. I have tried multiple times to connect to wifi successfully but to no avail. I have tried things such as turning off the router in order to bypass the process but the screen that appears after skipping wifi configuration (the one which asks permission to let google access your location) shows the same message after tapping on the left or right arrows located at the bottom to let me proceed through the setup or go back.
I have tried to search the internet for a solution to this problem, but the solutions were unexpectedly complicated for me to get around as I not understand some of the terminology used and the steps to fixing the problem seem to be specifically for one kind of device.
If anybody could have any knowledge on how to solve this problem then help would be greatly appreciated. It would be preferable if the method to fixing this problem would be as simple as possible to perform and understand. If you would like any additional information regarding the tablet in order to help with solving the problem, please to not hesitate to ask as I will provide all I can.
Yet again, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc
I felt my phone was 'hacked', it was echoing during calls, getting really hot, passwords & secret questions on my emails were being changed, FB password changed & picture login disabled etc. etc. I BELIEVE my device Samsung J1mini is rooted HOWEVER somehow hidden cas most apps say it's not rooted but I found a hidden /root file & Superuser was only to be granted access with 'android.permissions', ok explaining it best I can. I also have PC Acer Laptop. USB ports disabled won't charge my phone. ESET picked up a virus but it disappeared b4 I could press Y to delete. Renamed I believe. The top of windows go green when I click in them the same person said Crypto something which he explained as ransomware but I've had no demands & drive has been wiped so many times there is nothing to hold to ransom. I seriously need help. Just bought a Huawei Y9 Elite LYO-02 but it's only 4 weeks old, got a new sim with new number & EXACTLY same things are happening again. So I factory reset it (whilst off) cas a password I didn't put there prevented me from phone factory resetting it. Now I'm stuck on the gmail screen & NONE of my emails work. I've watched you tube videos on how to bypass this screen but no success yet. I asked someone I didn't know very well to help & he installed Terminux/Linux on my phone & told me it was just underneath my phone he accessed, what I now realize is he was most likely setting it up so he could remote control it from his PC or IPhone 6 & he had to install Linux. I hate liars.... now wondering instead of helping he saw an opening & made the hole bigger & this guy does IT. HELP! Please be kind. I wanna boot whoever is in out & take control by rooting phone myself. And taking admin privileges back on my Acer. I am administrator but u wouldn't think so. It's running Windows 8.1.
Urgent replies please. This whole thing is doing my head in. But I'm smart & willing to learn. Someone patoent please Show Me the Light lol
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
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
Darshan
