I hate to trouble everyone here with this, but i've tried everything and you lot seem awfully smart with these kind of things
my phone's a P8 lite and kind of worn. the volume and power buttons are gone, usb debugging is on, i can still interact with the buttons with something sharp
i restart it regularly w adb but this time it got stuck in fastboot mode, my computer recognizes it as "fastboot 2.0", it has the code 28 error (drivers for this device are not installed) and i'm just. stuck on what to download
if it helps, the devices under Android Device all raise code 10 (The device cannot start)
i've tried downloading the drivers for my device, no luck
[EDIT]: nvm i figured it out, typing it out helped in a way, cheers

Hi Guys.
It might seem funny. I do not have a PDAphone but I have a problem with my HPiPAQ hx2795. And I would greatly appreciate any comments or tips.
Here is the story:
I was trying to update setup/ROM. the first three updates went well. The forth one, didn't go through; it was showing time-out. it happened twice, the third time, I noticed a message on the left lower corner of the device,saying Connect A/C to flash, I tried to do it quickly before getting time-out. I guess I didn't do it quick enough. Anyway I plugged in the power to the cradle and it started flashing the ROM then I got the time-out error again. The screen reset and stuck @100% not going any further. To make it worse to me, it was not detectable by MS ActiveSync at all. I tried the active chat with the tech support of HP they said all is left for me to do is "going to parrot mode (= USB /serial Mode) and if the OS is not corrupted then I can repeat the ROM update and fix it" which I did with no luck as even in parrot mode, the device would noticed that the USB is connected but the PC would NOT recognize the device.
While I was searching the internet, I came across your site, beautiful and very interesting. I saw some people is using a program called NVID.exe.
IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE LIKE NVID.EXE THAT I CAN USE IT TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM on this HPiPAQ.
I was wondering about using something like that to get the device detectable by PC again. Is is possible even theoretically?
Please HELP.
I greatly appreciate all your comments and tips in advance.
Did you tried to do a clean reset? Or to put the device in bootloader or white bootloader mode and try to connect and see if recognize it?
Hard reset: butons 1+4+reset
Clean reset: buttons 1+3+power+reset
White bootloader mode: buttons 2+4+reset
what you call it "white bootloader mode" they call it "parrot mode". and yes I did try that. In that mode it shows Pre-BL: 1.00.04 that shows USB is connected or USB Cable is removed; however; my Win XP cannot recognize the new USB device.
Is there any way to make PC recognize this "HPiPAQ hx2795 in Parrot Mode". I mean any driver for WinXP to recognize this USB device as reachable device (updatable ROM)? Maybe that could be the "MAGIC KEY" to solve all people's problem suffering from such an issue?
I hear about mytt11.exe alot in posts here and there. What does it do? Where can I find it in order to give it a try?

HPiPAQ hx2795-WM5, failed ROM update
Hello all,
I'm having problems with my Kaiser. I rooted the device, and flashed Android.
Now, as with many others, when I power on the device, the green light is on and nothing on the screen. I cannot get to the bootloader.
I cannot connect with MTTY (with WinXP or Win7, but I hear the "dunk dunk" USB connected sound when I plug it in). The driver is for a mass USB storage device, which means I cannot use the MotoQ drivers. MTTY never gives USB as a connection option.
Now the confusing part. When I press the power button, I get the green light. When the device is off, and plug in the USB cable, the device starts to boot into Android after 3 mintues, but never gets past the splash screen. It cycles through the boot screen again and again.
I have tried pulling the battery (overnight), the hard and soft reset combos do nothing. I cannot get to the bootloader using the power and camera combo.
Without MTTY connecting, I cannot get Frankenkaiser to connect.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

i've experienced this before after installing new winmo rom. but i got it worked after a hard reset at the green light part.
Thanks, tried that. Nothing.
Did you tried to force the MotoQ drivers instead of the detected driver (harddisk)?
USB Drivers
Yes, I tried the MotoQ drivers, but Win XP and 7 see the device as a large USB memory device, and not a phone. So I always get the "These drivers are not applicable to this device" or something like that.
Well, I was trying to see if I could root my transformer, and ended up not doing it.
The thing is, i reseted the device and now I can't seem to connect it to the pc for nothing.
What I tried:
USB Debug ON/OFF
Uninstall/Reinstall asus sync and drivers
Tried on another pc with fresh asus drivers.
Another Reset (Power + Vol DOWN)
Recovery does not work (starts tinkering, and then the droid thingy with a yeallow triangle with a black exclamation mark inside)
Then one thing wierd happened. It connected ok! Then 5 minutes later, same thing, connecting, some wierd error and results in a Unknown Device.
I'm starting to think it's the cable.. But it charged all the way when I left it tonight.
Hey guys, so I just came across a Nexus S GT-i9020T but it has a problem! The problem is right after it's turned on, it immediately goes into "Downloading... Do not turn of target!!!" with an android sweeping up icon... Now I just bought this off a guy and he only told me that the last thing he did was install some Cybermod 9 skank mod??? he claims the phone was working fine until he went to reboot and got this Downloading.. screen from there on out.. Now I can't even get the phone recognized on my Windows 7 computer but I'm really new to this stuff and thought if i could get this fixed i'd have a cheap new/used Nexus S.. I've tried the Volume Up + Power hold, and other variants and cannot get the phone into bootloader. Also, when I plug in the USB cable there's no charging icons, and it seems the battery is getting low and dying so I'm going to buy an external battery charger to keep it topped up while I try to repair it. Please tell me what I can try to get this thing working! Thank you!

check if the volume down is stuck. power button + volume down get you into download mode.
Not quite sure how to tell if the volume down button is stuck... I can hear it clicking when i push it.. Hitting around the volume button area doesnt seem to do anything.. Any key combo I hold always brings me into "Downloading.."
Edit: I opened up the phone and the volume keys seem to be working fine
Do you have the Android SDK? I'd think if you got those, you'd be able to issue the ADB commands and reboot into the bootloader that way.
Yes i have the Android SDK installed properly, however i'm not sure if i have the correct USB Drivers since i just got this phone and havent ever hooked it up to my PC before.. I've worked on my Galaxy S and Galaxy Nexus before, but i've since updated USB drivers to 1.4.8..... I tried 'adb devices' in a terminal and can't get the PC to recognize the phone at all, but thats about all i know for commands. What else can I try??
ok so i found a list of commands, tried 'adb reboot-bootloader' but its saying error: device not found... Now my battery is almost completely dead and phone only comes on for 3-4 seconds so i think i need to go buy that external battery charger before i continue because the phone will NOT charge via usb cable attached to phone..
I haven't updated my SDK in ages and it still recognizes my device. In my case, sometimes my USB ports act funky and won't recognize my phone. I'd have to either restart the PC or switch ports and it would work. Let us know if you get the phone fully charged up

So i picked up the charger and now have a charged battery! Still not sure how to get the PC to recognize the phone though... Was I right in installed the 1.4.8 Samsung mobile phone driver or is there another driver i need to use like pdanet???
OK!! Got the PC to recognize the phone being plugged in but it's still showing up as "Unknown Device" under device manager.. I'm guessing this means I don't have the right drivers, or?? Also I'm not getting anywhere under terminal "adb devices" or "adb reboot-bootloader".. saying error: device not found
Install the drivers through pdanet

The problem with PDAnet is that I can't actually turn the phone on to enable debugging so PDAnet doesn't fully install - unless i'm mistaken but it still shows as Unknown device in device manager
Anyone??????? Just to recap, on my Nexus S when i turn the phone on i'm stuck on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen (can't use volume up + power) always goes to download screen.. The phone shows up as "Unknown Device" in device manager.. Odin doesnt pick it up, adb devices shows no devices... Ive tried a few different drivers such as pdanet, samsung 1.4.8, with no success.... Please someone must know a solution?
go go linux, bit of a pita but the drivers shouldn't give any problems
I have ubntu on a usb stick already but i don't really know how to use it all that well... will it have drivers already or do i need to download some linux usb samsung driver?
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
this has the info on the driver bit see configuring usb access, the rest would just be getting adb and fastboot for linux
I really can't figure out Ubuntu.. i even seemed to brick it somehow off a usb stick.. try to boot it and just get a black screen after the UBUNTU logo loading screen... man i'm hopeless lol
Aaaaaaaaaanybody?

OK after a few hours of messing around I got Ubuntu up and running, installed JDK, SDK, and still no devices found when i bring up a terminal and type 'adb devices' while the Nexus S is on and in downloading do not turn off target!! mode.... Tried Unbrickable resurrector with no success saying it can't find device either... I know I have usb drivers and adb installed correctly because i can plug in my Gnex and get the adb device # no problem... This is super frustrating!!

Wish I knew of another way to help. I'm out of ideas.
My phone only shows the the elephone 2 e sign when I turn it on. I have tried pressing the on and volume key when I turn it on but nothing happened. I have followed some instructions on the elephone manufacturer site about installing drivers to my computer and then trying to reinstall the firmware. Unfortunately my computers (I have tried on three different ones) does not identify that a device is connected to the computer. Therefore I can't proceed to install the driver as according to my computer it is not installed. I have tried 2 different leads as well. I would be grateful for some help as I have no idea where to go from here.
Facing a similar issue, and since there's still no reply to this thread, I would like to add up a few findings I have on this matter to maybe help others and get helped.
My P3000S is also reaching the Elephone logo and displays it for a minute and then restarts, repeating the process (aka boot-loop).
The same happens whether it is connected or not connected to the charger/computer through a USB cable. (I've tried new cables but that's not the case).
When disconnected I can stop the boot-loop only by holding down the on/off button for a few seconds (or removing the battery of course).
When connected to the the charger or computer through the USB cable I have no way to stop the boot-loop (holding down on/off just restarts it).
Now with the battery removed..:
If I connect it to the charger/computer, though the charging red light turns on normally, I can't turn on the phone using the on/off button.
However, when connected through USB to a windows computer, I can see in the device manager that, right when I connect the phone it shows up as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" under COM ports group, for 1 second and then disappears as if it was disconnected. There's no repetition here I have to manually hold down the on/off button or disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable to cause this to happen again.
So, I am unable to flash anything nor turn the phone on because I practically only have 1 second of its presence in my devices list.
Also, I have tried all possible combinations with the volume up/down keys and the on/off button in order to enter recovery mode, with no success..
In case anyone has faced something similar or has any ideas on a possible fix on this phone please feel free to reply.
At last a reply to my initial message. Unfortunately it was someone with the same problem as me. I took out a paypal case against the person I bought the phone from and eventually they repaired it. Unfortunately they never told me how. To make matters worse it broke again within 2 months. The phone is now sat in a draw doing nothing. I have given up on it and will never buy another Elephone phone again.
