Rooted Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo after OTA Update - Elephone P8000

Hi there,
The phone is rooted.
I've proceeded with the latest update today (~12mb size), don't remember the exact version.
It said it fixes some system bugs, etc.
After the update installed the phone won't load, stucks on the changing color logo.
Cannot access the recovery mode option in the boot menu (Vol+Power), says "no command", if press and hold Vol+ and Power again the phone restarts and enter the boot logo again.
Has anyone ideas how this can be fixed?

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/boot-loop-ota-upgrade-t3246203.
Post #16 describes how get into recovery from the 'no command' screen, and my post #12 describes how I managed to get it flashed using the SP Flashtool.
(Note my point no,5 - all I needed to do is press 'Download' first, THEN attach the powered off phone.)
Good luck!

Thanks a lot fot pointing this out.
Managed to get the recovery options menu.
However wiping the cache didn't help.
After doing the "root integrity check" got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

do you think this can be fixed w/o reflashing an entire rom?

Oooh. Brighter minds than mine might correct me, but I think the bootloop is only fixed with a ROM flash

Actually, what you need to do is format the data partition or write the empty data.img file over the data partition which in effect does the same thing. And the later one is also what happens when your download entire rom using sp flash.

I've proceeded with "wipe data/factory reset" option - no effect...or are we talking about different things?

In that case you probably need to flash the system.img and maybe even the boot.img from the latest rom. Elephone really should stop sending out these broken OTAs...

You belive this b***** that feed you on official forum? OTA should work on any device software config.

I didn't read official forum. However you do loose your warranty if device is rooted, thus the device manufacturer owes you nothing. OTA worked fine before I rooted my device.
Btw, I got my phone back to life by re-flashing the entire ROM, just in case.

The only thing you need to do is reinstall the añl the system with spflashtool. Never and remember never you can update any android with a ota if you are a rooted user.
If you speak spanish you can search in the youtube channel AndroidMxL to ser how you can reinstall the original ROM on your android.

Hello, yesterday I rooted 1st time my DHD with this guide

so any ideas what can I do?
If there was already post like this sorry I couldn't find it.
Hi there,
Okay the process you linked (assuming it went well) should have provided you with a rooted device with S-OFF.
Have you tried rebooting the phone into recovery? Did you download your ROM via ROM manager? At what point did your phone start "going crazy"?
As much information about the issue as possible will help us to help you

Another Insert Sim Error

Hi guys, looking for some serious help here as I can't seem to find a definitive solution to this problem.
This occurred randomly a month ago whilst on unrooted stock 4.3 XXUEMK9 with MJ9 baseband. The first thing I tried was replacing the sim reader which did not solve the problem. I have tried a new sim along with other sims and all are not being read. I have tried custom ROMs and different radios which has not helped, my IMEI has remained present and correct throughout so I'm ruling out a corrupt EFS. Is it likely that the motherboard has failed. I'm out of warranty and not wanting to stump up the cost of repair.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful.
Cheers.

Flash your official firmware by downloading it from sampro.pl or sammobile.com, flash it with PC Odin under PDA tab.
After you done, don't let reboot your phone, goto recovery by pressing vol up+ menu key then power key(continuously hold it until your restarts might be 4~8 secs.) Then check 'Wipe Cache Partition', and then reboot phone.

I told you, "After you done, don't let reboot your phone". Go directly to recovery menu.
And how are you flashing your phone using PC Odin(With PDA tab) or Mobile Odin Pro?

TAB S T805 bricked while updating to LOLLIPOP 5.0.2

Hey everyone,
I just bricked my T805. I was following this guide:
[OFFICIAL] LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 /SM-T800/ SM-T805/ Firmwares T800XXU1BOCC / DOWNLOAD / ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/samsung-lollipop-range-tab-s-t3021612
Installing Lollipop Firmware
Instructions:
1. Download the needed firmware from above.
2. Download Odin_3.10.0 from the attached file below
3. Open Odin, select AP and than select your firmware.
4. Make sure you have installed all samsung drivers
5. Shut down your Tab S.
6. Open download mode by holding volume down, home button and power button.
7. Connect it to your PC.
8. LEAVE EVERY THING AS IT IS IN ODIN, OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE A CATASTROPHE (If you select something wrong.)
9. When your tablet is connected, there will be a blue box in odin.
10. Hit start and wait
11. It will reboot and you will get the latest firmware from samsung.

So I was in Download mode, klicked on Start in ODIN.
After one minute, this is what followed:

The Tab hangs in the Download mode screen...
USB connection does not work, PC is not recognizing the tab anymore.
Power off does not work, no chance to power down or reset the device (have to wail 'til battery is empty?)
Anyone knows what to do?
Thanks!

Got ya, it must be a bug with Tapatalk. It looks like you did everything right, I followed those same instructions to flash my SM-T700 and I had no issues. I'm sorry about the brick, I've done it once and it's upsetting for sure.
Edit- Did you make sure you had all the drivers installed correctly and the PC detected and installed everything?

You're almost there, you have nothing more to do than boot to stock recovery then wipe the cache.
The tablet will then successfully boot to lollipop.

UAE as it flashes nicely it's got the highest change list and it's clean - no bloat. I flashed it earlier today.

All you have to do is flash one.
I live in the UK, the firmware region makes little difference apart from that it can determine the bloatware you get. You will get offered the next OTA from the region you are in: but you can always manually flash any newer ROM.
Thank you very much all. I got it working, POWER+VOLDOWN to resrart, instantly HOME+VOLDOWN+POWER to switch to Download Mode. Connecting to PC, flashed UAE version with ODIN. TAB runs good now! Apps and Data were not cleared/wiped.
Thanks again!

ASUS Zenfone 5 root for WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware

​
This is rooting script only for ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00F/T00J) with official WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware.
Upgrading will unroot your phone.
If you want to have rooted lollipop, find another rooting solution.
8. April 2017 note: I don't use anymore this phone and I can't help with questions. Rooting method should still works. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If this rooting solution doesn't work, probably you're doing some wrong. There's several thousand people (or more) from around the world which successfully rooted and fixed theirs phones. If you have any questions or problem - please read first whole thread. I'm trying answer all questions and I place the most popular in first post.
Rooting script
Read manual
Download rooting script
I want to share my work. I created github repository - feel free to fork etc.
Simple FAQ and tips
Want more help?
Video tutorial by Majci8
Older version of firmware
Do you have older version of firmware? Update it and apply rooting script.
Download official firmware (select android -> firmware, and search site with phrase WW_2.22.40.54)
Newer version of firmware
I actually doesn't like lollipop and I don't provide any support for rooting newer android. Probably there are available other solutions. At this moment the 2.22.40.54 version is the newest kitkat for Asus Zenfone 5.
"No camera is found" bug
Do you have "no camera is found" problem? This script fixes this. I spend few long days to fixing "no camera is found" bug after applying shakalacka's rooting script. And I GOT IT! I mixed shakalaca and Vipin Arumugham solutions. Thank you guys!
How update firmware by sideload method?
Boot your phone to recovery mode.
When "No command" message appears, press and hold down volume button, and press once (still holding down volume) up volume button. You are now in recovery menu.
Select apply update from ADB.
Connect phone by USB cable to your computer.
Run from terminal: adb sideload new-firmware.zip
Note: you can sideload only firmware with the same or higher version. Firmware can be downgraded too, but this is little more complicated.
Unroot
Eh, really? Why do you want to unroot your phone? Use sideload method to apply firmware again (yes, with the same version). This will format your /system partition and install whole android system again.
Thanks for every mentioned person! Your comments, messages and other help is really great!

I suggest update to 2.22.40.54 first. You can download this from official website. After update, you can safely use my solution.

i'll download the firmware. one more question, do i have to boot the phone to droidbot for applying this method?
Yes, you need reboot to bootloader.
If you're on linux, just run .sh script and it will do everything for you. There's manual for other system.
Hi, thank you for this solution..
there's a chance that it could work also with 2.21.40.44? I think that most most people with this problem has the same firmware...

Is there any reason to not use 2.22.40.54? It is the newest kitkat for our phone. Just download the firmware, update, and use rooting script.

The reason is that with the previous root... you are not able to upgrade
Just tried this morning :good: :good:
With the old root tool you are not able to:
-make an hard reset
-upgrade to the new firmware
if you try comes out an error...

I want to share my work. I created github repository - feeel free to fork etc.
My solution was tested on ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00F/T00J) with WW-2.22.40.54 firmware.

First, sideload firmware 2.22.40.54 (long process).
Second, do the basic setup after your phone turns on (unlock dev options, turn on usb debugging).
Third, turn off and go to bootloader (droidbot), do all the things in manual.
Finally, you are golden.
I'm glad I could help. Have a nice day.

Run:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When bootloader boots, select RECOVERY option. When recovery boots, press and hold volume down, and press once volume up.
Menu should appears.

Just select "Apply ADB update" and run adb sideload filename-of-firmware.zip and wait...
It's really simple.

Relocking was a bad idea, you just ran out of all options.
I'm not sure if there is any way around enabling OEM unlocking.
Try the previous suggestion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
Snapdragons are truly unbrickable. But I'm not sure I know enough to help.

this is what i see when i boot up
I'm fairly sure fastboot boot <image> doesn't even work if the bootloader is unlocked on the op3.
Also, it looks like recovery did get flashed.
Try rebooting to recovery?
Power off by holding power button, then hold vol down + power.
Then if you are booted into stock recovery, just side load the stock ROM.

My friend I had same problem.
1. Plug phone into computer
2. Turn phone off by holding down power for 40 seconds,
3. Now run unbrick tool with admin.
4. Hold volume up on phone till program reads phone then press start.
