[Q] Bricked TF

Disclaimer: Searching for this brings up far too many results to be useful.
Just attempted a Root of 3.2 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
I'd post this there, but don't have access rights.
Anyways, process went well, rebooted, but once the initial splash screen has cleared, this happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried using the same tool to restore to stock, but nothing doing at the moment. Help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Annnnnd I've fixed it. This is why I never post. Carry on.

How did you fix it? I ended up bootlooping after flashing the WW HC3.2 boot image. I assume you also flashed the WW version?
Greetz,
speedstra

i had the same thing happening to mine when i first rooted to 1.4 prime. however now ive upgraded the rom to 1.6 and so far no artifacts

I had the same problem. I found it was able to fix it by downloading the latest version of the batch script root method zip file and using it to flash my tablet. You need to MAKE SURE you are using the latest version v5 beta5 because the older version had a problem flashing HC3.2 and gave me that error.
here's the link to the forum entry

I had actually attempted to flash the 3.1 image instead of the 3.2 image. Thus the reason for edit on the original post.
The latest version of the tool should restore it.

Please stop using the incorrect term for 'brick.' IT IS NOT A BRICK when your device turns on. Just stop, please.

Just had this same issue, got the same screen - blood pressure went through the roof, had to go water the plants to calm down
I was following this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14760983#post14760983
My mistake was not replacing the boot.img in the root folder with the newer 8659 .img file (linked at the top of the post, but not called out in the otherwise very detailed instructions).
HOWEVER: I did have an issue in that after flashing the wrong .img and getting the "oh sh!t" screen, I could not get adb to list a connected device, which kind of threw me. I could get it into APX mode by holding down the vol-up and power keys (and paying close attention to the "usb connected" notification sound - hold them down for about 10 seconds, hear the "disconnected" sound, then almost immediately hear the "connected" sound and let them go. The screen should stay dark instead of going to the boot logo) and I could see the driver being used, but "adb devices" returned nothing.
So I just ran root.bat again, as I had nothing to lose - and BOOM! Success!
Followed the rest of the procedure with no issues. Hope this helps someone!

How can I root Prestigio multipad PMP5080CPRO??

Hey guys I need help.
I want to root my Prestigio multipad PMP5080CPRO but I can´t find the Debugg-mode and I can´t find the adb driver.
Could anybody tell me how to root it??
Thanks :laugh::laugh:

Found an excellent thread on ROOTING the PRESTIGIO MULTIPAD 5080 C PRO
HERE:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/36909-prestigio-pmp5080c-pro-rooting/
In case the thread is lost in time and space, I will copy and paste parts of it below here:
Original post by user xenonification on slatedroid.com:

Okay, here it is:
http://www.mediafire...gxa50m45c15zm5v
Installation instructions:
1)Plug in USB and turn on Mass Storage mode.
2)Unrar update.rar and copy update.img to SD card.
3)Unplug USB, A message should appear on the tablet saying something like "Would you like to update?". Press yes.
4)Phone will reboot and start installing firmware (Make sure you have power cable plugged in just in case).
5)Done
Notes:
-The file is much larger than the firmware file from the website. The reason for this is that when I rebuilt the system.img file, I made the image the max size that it could be.
-This is only for the Prestigio PMP5080c Pro. Do not try this on any other device.
-You lose your warranty by rooting your device (I'm pretty sure you can unroot it and remove all evidence though.)
-If something happens with the firmware (Tablet boot loops or freezes), remember, there is a reset button at the back of the tablet. Pressing the POWER button while holding in the volume down key will put the phone in recovery mode, where you can flash the firmware from here: http://www.prestigio...ad_PMP5080C_PRO
-I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Although if you are REALLY unlucky and something does happen, I'll try my best to help you sort it out
Just flashed it on my PMP5080C and it worked perfectly. None of the applications got deleted either. You can test if the root is working by downloading Root checker from android market. Follow the instructions and you'll be A for away
Good luck :clapping:

another user, bagy on slatedroid.com comments:

I did the same. Except I copied su and Superuser.app directly into the image (you can do that as root from terminal .. and IMHO if you open the file explorer as a root, you can do it that way too). I'm flashing as we speak (new FW 1.0.6). If it's alright, I can post a tutorial (I've done it with Xubuntu in VirtualBox) on how to do it, or just upload the file.
PS: The device just booted, root is enabled! Yay!

Confirmed, above method works.
Just in case, here is the rooted 1.03 ROM mirrored.

[Q] Bricked SGS4G

Hi, i got this Samsung G S 4g. I was supposed to fix the rom (somewhat unstable thing). I will try to write all the things i have done until now. I got the "phone to pc" icon. I cannot boot or use download mode (the triangule thing)
General Info
Device is rooted. T-mobile branded, carrier-locked.
Froyo rom. (i think is stock but rooted).
Somewhat old device.
Had stock recovery (Android recovery e3 o something like that)
SGH-T959V (KB5)
Things i did
1. Pull some files from device, to sim-unlock. (using ADB) DID not modify anything else
2. SIM-Unlock using code (worked)
Then, device worked ok some weeks... then stopped working, contacts and phone apps crashed suddenly, everytime i open them
4. Use lastest Heimdall and this guide to get CWM on the phone. The idea was to flash the kernel. did not work. Check the part called "How To Flash a Kernel with Heimdall".
I did that. NOTE: used this kernel insted of the "old" one that the guide says.
Then it output this error: "libusb error: -12". So Heimdall didn't detect the device so i used zadig.exe after reinstalling the samsung drivers to avoid this issue. Then, it started working, and output something like this: "failed sending file part packet heimdall"
And now i have this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}

What you have is an alternate form of DL mode that occurs after a failed flash. Read this to get back up and running.
Lumins Guide

Or just reboot the phone, it should go to a disturbing looking tiny-phone mode. Then just resend your heimdall command and it should happily work.

Major kudos to diego930 for such a nicely detailed description of his problem!

Yes... my computer didn't feel like showing the tiny disturbing phone this morning, else I could have skipped the suggestion to reboot.
That just means that the safeties are off and your phone is ready and waiting to get flashed. You're close... and probably got fixed, based on the thanks provided.

Thanks I like making myself very clear (and i know how annoying is the lack of info)
I haven't touch the device since i broke it so i'm going to try that guide and post any news. Thanks all!

When you get that phone to pc icon, just use Heimdall to flash again.
The reboot-step is from official-download mode where it has the big yellow caution taking you to panic-download mode where it has the tiny phone you posted in #1. Once you have panic-download mode, your phone is ready to accept anything. Even whatever failed before.
Summary: Repeat OP Step 4.

ok, done. Fix using heimdall 1 click! I just reflash GB with kernels and bootloaders, now it works flawless.
Thanks Theraze.

Hey mate. I rooted my N915F +/- 2 weeks ago. I was also lost. Googled allot, but I am rooted and running smooth. I wished I made bookmarks so I could share it with you.
But from what I can remember. First go to this site: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Then download the software for N915G.
Install Odin to PC.
Put phone in download mode (Turn phone off, hold volume down+home button and push the power key. The phone will show a warning. Push volume up to continue.)
Connect phone to PC.
Open the installed application on you PC (Odin)
Remember the comm in cf-autoroot must be green. You will see a message on the left saying "Added"
Put the file in in PA button. Browse for the file(it was downloaded with the .zip file where cf-autoroot was in. It will be a ".tar.md5" file)
Let the phone reboot.
Go to this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...15s-n9150-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-5-1-t2954960
Download your phones CWM file from the site.
Put phone in download mode again.
Open Odin.
Connect phone.
Put the CWM file in PA button in Odin.
Click start.
Let it reboot.
Go to Playstore and update SuperSU app.
Remember, if you boot into CWM recovery (Phone off , volume up+home button+power) and you select "exit and reboot" , ClockWorksMod will sometimes say that your phone is not rooted of does not have SuperUser installed. It will ask to install it. Say NO.
If you say yes, my phone went into a bootloop.
Watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIj-FL1K7To
Also, READ what on the websites. I dont take responsibility for a broken phone.
My steps is just for you to be sure you are on the right track of what you read on the websites. I may have missed some steps. But as far as I remember , this is what worked for me.
Also , you bootloader must be unlocked to root your phone. I dont know how to check that. I just took a chance and my phone works.
And remember, warranty is void.
Hope this helps a bit

It's very simple

Press Volume - & Home & Power for ~30sec then phone must automaticlly reboot, then when you will see Samsung logo directly really fastly move finger from Volume - to Volume + but still holding that other two buttons. You must get in to recovery menu if you had flashed it before. Then flash again ROOT or full-wipe and just clean install another ROM+ROOT ofcourse. If you did fully unroot via SuperSU then that's can be why now system don't started
