Ok so, this is my first android phone and after being prompted to install the 2.2 update on my European htc desire, i downloaded and started it installing. It gets to about 23% and says process system unavailible and after reading what people said i cleared the phone and tried to install the update manually from the SD card. This didn't work
My phone currently does this
Will boot into what it says is 2.2 but with no wifi, no service, and no SD card showing up
then after about 5 minutes it will reboot.
I have no idea what i can do to fix this? could someone please help me, i'm a noob with android so a clear step by step would be much appreciated
anyone
I am having the same issue... Anyone some help please...
I had a symetrical experience.. I can't post links yet, but you if you look at my posts you should be able to find what worked for me.

how did you create a blank goldcard, i can't access my SD card on my phone while it's in the phone so how did you do it
Do you have a WIFI connection? I do, and did the OTA 2.2 upgrade over WiFi with no problems, on my Unbranded European HTC Desire.
If youre phone won't boot properly, there are a few answers; 1) Return in to HTC, they're getit working and back to you, 2) Return it to th place of purchase, 3) Root/reflash (but sounds like it might not be an option).

When I got in touch with HTC they wanted £50 to do a reflash, falsely accusing me of rooting my device..
was that 50$ to send it to them? or can they do it without having it there. Because if THEIR update screwed up my phone i don't see why i should have to pay for a fix
maybe a silly question but did you try a factory reset?

Tell me about it, so thankful I managed to fix it myself!
It sounds like you are alll applying an OTA update for the standard ROM to what was a branded device. There are lots of explanations as to how to fix this if this is the case
In summary
Download update from mentioned here
Copy this to root of your goldcard and rename to update.zip
Turn off phone
Turn on holding down vol down
Select Bootloader then Recovery (an image of device should appear with exclamation mark over)
In menu (sorry forgot how you get in, if it does not appear then try power+vol down or power + back). From there choose apply update.zip
Wait while update applied
After update select reboot and wait for device to boot

I've just tried this again, installation looked like it went through ok, rebooted and relaoded into sense, then it shows me a status bar counting, normally this gets to about 10% then says ?Sorry process system is not responing, so i can either click wait or force close, then in continues upto about 97% then reboots and reloads only to load a white screen showing htc and continues counting in percentages, gets to about 15% then says force close, then onto about 91% then reboots this goes on for a while until it just shows me a sorta bricked phone with no wifi, gsm or any real functionailty and it continues to reboot every 5 mins, back to where I started showing 2.2 as installed
One strange thing I have noticed is that my CID is
CID: 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E
Reversing CID
CID: 00A600D117E949000000000000000000
Can't find update.zip on SD card during recovery
Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.
Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?

I had to format the card in a card reader in my PC, then use the Gold Card Creator mentioned elsewhere in the thread. You have to install HTC Sync because enough drivers are in there to at least allow the apps to 'see' the card at physical level, even if the bricked Android doesn't. Set the phone to USB debug mode in Settings/Applications - the phone stays 'on' long enough between reboots to do that and get a CID out of it! Then Gold Card Creator works well enough to get the CID from the SD.
I'm trying this again with a 2GB card to see if makes any difference.
Check folder settings when using windows

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29403117/upgrade tool and Introduction.rar
that said i have not tested these FW's and cant vouch for the safety of using them,
I'm not a developer but hopefully they could be usefull for making a cyanogenmod for it (fingers crossed haha) or some one who has bricked there tap,
source:
https://slo-tech.com/forum/t528078
I have downloaded these files so if the link becomes dead please let me know and i will send them
Firmware Testers Needed
Is theres anyone with a bricked MP720 to test these FW's? id like to upgrade my 2.2 tablet, but only if these FW's are known to work.
TESTERS NEEDED
thanks in advance
Tested firmware, working fine, so it is all good for anyone with a bricked mp720/MID7020
would this be usefull for making a custom rom?
Since last december, my tablet was bricked!!!
Wordked for me !!!
Thanks !!!!
Since no question has been asked here, moved to General section.
hail to the king baby!
works well! thank you!

Hello....I bricked my I927 when I accidently formatted my efs partition when using EFS professional .....my phone boots in download mode.....but only boots till samsung logo screen.....I tried various things like installing stock GB and ICS through odin and installing custom firmware but phone boots onle till samsung logo and then lights up with sone stange colored thin lines and screen goes off.....In TRWP I get a "unable to mount preload" error whenever I try to install somethiing.....I suspect that the EFS partiton is corrupted and needs to be repartioned....I had backupped the efs folder when my phone was working before.....its in a tar format.....I read somwhere that someone made a recovery.zip out of his backedup EFS.IMG and flashed it with CWM solved his problems which were exactly similar to mine.....can somebody on the forum make a recovery.zip for I927 with update binary and script so that I can add the backedup EFS image to it and flash it with CWM? Please.....this would also help many others who are facing similar issues.....and also what do I do regarding the "unable to mount preload" error? I need to repartition and tried to install hemdall.....but get the common .dll error even after following all the instructions and installing C++ 2010.....
Hi, k one thing after the other.
Do you have repartitioned anything?
Do you have adb in place and does adb works when in TWRP?
The easiest thing would be to connect by adb then mount /efs and then restore the efs backup. The good is that you will have a good chance to recover your device. Maybe you need to reformat /efs but that depends.
Which timezone do you live? Maybe a Teamviewer session would be helpful?
.
Thank you for your reply sir...
THANKS FOR THE REPLY SIR....YES I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY AND CONNECT THE PHONE WITH MINIMAL ADB FASTBOOT.....AND AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 2 DAYS CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM USING GOOGLE, I TRIED DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ADB TO GET EFS BACK OJ THE PHONE....BUT WITH NO SUCCESS...... MY EFS BACKUP IS IN TAR FORMAT......IT WAS MADE USING GALAXYSIMUNLOCK BY SPOCKY.....I LATER TYPED IN 'ADB MESG'.....OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT COMMAND, AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE PARTITIONS ON mmcblk0 were mangled up with strange letters.....for eg, p1, p2, p3 and so on had strange characters written next to them.....SO I TRIED TO RE-PARTITION THE WHOLE THING WITH SDPARTED......AND IT RE-PARTIONED THE SYSTEM (AROUND 7000MB).....MMCBLK01 (AROUND 500MB).....AND ANOTHER THING I CANT REMEMBER NOW.....BUT WHEN IT FINISHED THE JOB, IT GAVE ME A mmcblk02 ERROR.....AND WHEN WHEN I CHECKED MY PHONE ON CWM SCREEN, IT GAVE ME A LIST OF CACHE ERRORS.....AND WHEN I SWITCHED OFF THE PHONE AFTER THAT IT REFUSED TO POWER ON.....IT WAS NOT EVEN GOING INTO DOWNLOAD OR RECOVERY MODE.....BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER....SO ITS NOT BATTERY FAULT......I SUPPOSE THAT SINCE THE PARTITIONS WERE FORMATTED THE PHONE BECAME COMPLETELY DEAD......CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY WAY WHERE I COULD GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE USING A 'DEAD PHONE USB FLASH' OR SOMETHING.....AND THEN FLASH A BLANK BOOTLOADER AND THEN WRITE CWM?
I LIVE IN INDIA SIR.....+5.30 GMT.....I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEAMVIEWER.....IS IT AN ANDROID APP? CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE IN DETAIL SIR?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE AGAIN......
Well.. that sounds not that good...
Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) is an easy to use and free remote control software for your PC (it runs on both Linux and Windows). We could do a remote control session if you like. I can try to help but cannot promise anything.
I live in Germany: GMT +1. Send me a PM if you want to give that a try. Next Monday. Tuesday or Thursday would be possible on my site. At least for getting a short overview.

Thank you sir,
Thanks for the reply Sir.....I believe using teamviewer requires a internet connection with good amount of data.....I have an extremely slow 2G internet connection here in India.....I searched google to find some solution for the bricked I927......and came across many posts where people have used the 'unbrick.img' which was specifically made for their samsung phone models on their SD cards to resurrect their dead phones.....The method involves creating a 'unbrick.img' with emmc files extracted from another working I927 and then writing the image on an external SD card with some linux commands or win2image software and then inserting the SD card into the dead phone and switch it on by which it goes to download mode.....once in download mode I can flash CWM or TWRP and also flash stock firmware through odin and recover the phone.....Since your a developer who is well versed in things pertaining to this, can you make a unbrick.img file for the I927 and upload it here Sir? It will be very helpful for others also on the samsung glide subforum, as there is no proper 'hard unbrick' thread for the glide on xda......Ill be very grateful and thankful to you for all your help Sir.....

Ok I have made one. It want to say it was VERY hard to find the correct instructions to do so and therefore I'm absolutely not sure if that will work for you!
Test it if you like but again: I have no idea if that would damage anything more than it is now!
See --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cap...od-unbrick-debrick-hard-bricked-i927-t3285505
If it worked for you (would be like a miracle) then please report back!
If it does NOT work for you please report back, too!
thanks

UPDATE:
Besides the link I posted --> Could you please also try the following:
1) Power on your device and directly after that:
2) Press and hold down Vol Up + Vol Down (both the same time)
3) You should see a warning message like the attached one which is the APX mode
4) you need to release the vol buttons immediately after you see the APX mode otherwise it will continue to the non working download mode.
Does teamviewer require internet connection with a lot of data?

1927 wouldn't boot.....Help.
Ohhhh Thank you.....thank you.....thank you for your kind reply Sir.....how good of you to take all your precious time to help me.....I greatly appreciate all your hard work Sir.....wonderful...*.I wanted to download your img file to try it out and when I read the reply of brother Bubor, that the I927 woudnt boot from the SD card when the bootloader is bricked, I was very disappointed. Like I said before, I have a very very slow internet connection with very less data left....and according to brother bubor's reply I doubt this will work....It looked like he was sure that it wont work....I tried to get into APX mode as the link that brother bubor posted had mentioned, but no luck, as the phone is not going into APX mode.....I remember that when I was trying to get to the APX mode the first time, the computer flashed a notification that the APX driver was not successfully installed.....but after that I tried the method more than a dozen times, but the computer was not recognizing the phone to go into APX mode.....Does the phone go into APX mode when the full internal phone system is formatted? I tried your second method on trying to get to APX mode, but nothing happens.....the computer is not recognizing the phone.....The battery had about 30% power in it when the phone got bricked 2 weeks ago.....Dont know if the battery drained all these days of not using the phone.....And even if I get to the APX mode, I have no idea how to proceed from there to repartition the internal phone system and get back download mode.....In the link that brother bubor posted the person who made the thread has made some files to be used when one gets into APX mode.....The PIT and emmc files which are necessary for repartitioning the system and getting the bootloader work are found in that zip file.....But that zip file is for the I9103 Galaxy R.....there isnt something like that available for the I927 yet.....And is brother bubor sure that the unbrick.img file wont work on the I927?

Hi @alvcross: any update on this?
have you tried the SD card unbrick?
You said you cannot open the APX mode but what happens when you press the buttons for accessing the APX mode?
Try it even if you see a blank screen and then connect your Cappy with USB to your computer --> you should get a message about a missing driver or similar.
If that works I tell you how to proceed.

Ok could you please try these driver package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
Follow the instructions there for installing
The next step (if the driver would work for you) will be to flash a working PIT to your device to make sure you are using the correct partitions.
Afterwards we will flash the bootloader (may absolutely brick your device if not done correctly) and then --> if all goes fine --> you should be able to flash in download mode whatever you want to.
So it is still a long way to go and I need to check all the steps first before actually we can proceed.
That may take longer so do not expect that this will be something in the next days.. sorry.
Update:
If the above universal driver do NOT work for you: Test these one here View attachment apx_driver_samsung.zip

nvidia apx isnt fastboot/adb device. You can found tool on nvidia site ( more info https://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash ), this tool can read and write whole flash.
Before you could use nvidia's tool, you must send an uniq blob to your phone. APX mode is useless without this blob.
This blob is uniq for every phone.
After 3 months of searching, I'm presenting you the method to Root your ASUS Fonepad 7 FE375CG (FE375CXG)
Introduction:
Originally this Rooting method appeared on 4pda, a Russian android forum meant for Russian community.
I translated the content of the Rooting in English below.
I hope the people, who have long waited for a working Lolipop Root, will find this guide useful.
Disclaimer:
* Warranty is void.
* I don’t guarantee that this will work.
* It maybe cause bad effects to your tablet.
* You are responsible for any damages or other issues that may arise directly or indirectly because of this.
* Very important: All your data and programs will be lost!
Before starting:
This root is specifically for WW_fonepad-12.14.3.18 (that's World wide version - lolipop).
This root will work both for FE375CG and FE375CXG.
To this date, 12-March-2016, WW_fonepad-12.14.3.18 is the latest update for this tablet.
Using this method will require to download 4 objects, in total of 900 MB.
Using this method will require a PC and a SDcard.
As for SDcards, I recommend Class 10 SDcard for android.
Step1: Pre-rooting - Check your software model.
1. Make sure that you are fully updated to WW_fonepad-12.14.3.18 (Lolipop) via OTA update.
2. You can check your firmware version here. ::: Settings --> About --> Software information --> Build number
Step2: Preparing firmware
1. Go ahead and download firmware ==> UL-K019-WW-12.14.3.18-user.zip (Lolipop) (800mb) ::: (Look at this picture)
2. Rename the zip file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Place MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip in your SDcard. (Don't put it inside another folder. ) (Look at this picture)
Step3: Preparing USB connection
1. Download USB-drivers for ASUS connectivity ===> Download ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip, then unpack it, then install Install_Driver.bat
2. Download USB-drivers for ASUS connectivity ==> Download and install IntelDnXUSBDriverSetup.zip.
Step4: Rooting
1. Turn off your Asus fonepad 7 FE375CG (FE375CXG)
2. At the same time, Press and hold Vol+, Vol- and Power for 4 seconds. ::: Screen on your Fonepad will remain turned off
3. Connect Fonepad to computer
Initializing rooting/using downgrade.cmd:
4. Download rooting tool ===> Download Downgrade_K019_NEW.zip, unpack it and start Downgrade.cmd. ::: Blue window will appear on your monitor and start working
5. Wait till you see logo Intel appear on your tablet. Disconnect from PC then turn off your tablet by holding power-button.
6. On tablet, again press and hold Vol+, Vol- and Power for 4 seconds.
7. Connect Fonepad to computer

Hello ! I successfully rooted my phone, your tuto is perfect
Just : 5. Wait till you see logo Asus/Intel appear on your tablet. Disconnect from PC then turn off your tablet by holding power-button.

>>> Only an Intel logo appeared for me. I waiting a little longer expecting seeing another Asus/Intel logo But it was fine ^^ ! And it's easy to do, we have almost nothing to do ! I rooted because 8gb of memory is not enough, so I want to incorporate Sys App Update in the System partition
Oh Also, after step 13, your tablet will take a lot of time to boot, like 5 minutes ^^ !
To save your device, there is an amazing Asus application. It is called "Sauvegarde" in french. YOu can use it to restore your apps settings

Hi Tarhsaz,
In short, there isn't
So for example, you should redownload your calculator........ O_O
Ahaha I'm kidding xD
But really, you should redownload whatever you want to have after Rooting.
And backup your important data on computer or somewhere else, before rooting.

Did you stop at Step 13?
Did you make sure that you have put MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip in SD card before step 13?
Remember to place MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip in SD cards but not inside a folder

Try with a new sd card, it will work
hi, i need help. my fe375cxg got rooted according to step 10 without much problem. then i went to step 11 & inserted SD card keeping the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip in root folder but recovery at step 13 failed to find the file, so i mistakenly rebooted. now it does not go to recovery state. if i push vol up & power switch at the same time it vibrates & shows "ASUS IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE powered by android" but does not go to recovery. i assume if i can go to recovery then i can flash MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip file. can anybody suggest how to go to recovery OR any other idea how to proceed. Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback.
Edit: At last by pushing vol up & power switch at the same time for a short time i was able to go to recovery mode. However, it looks like the file name should be MOFD_SDUPDATE (not MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip, since it is already a zip file) in the root folder of SD card, and it worked smoothly for me.
At the same time, Press and hold Vol+, Vol- and Power for 4 seconds.
Doesnt work with my device Asus Fonepad FE375CXG-1A006A. Whats that for a mode? Is that recovery mode or bootloader? Should I feel a vibration when pushing these 3 buttons? Does this work with win10x64?
I tried now Recovery mode (like smith74 is suggesting in his edit), but now --> Intel SoC Device Detection Failed in the BlueWindow appears
I also tried it again starting the .cmd as administrator --> !!! ERROR !!! FWR_DnX NOT EXIST, EXIT!
Edit: Ok now I got it. (It works with Win10x64 too, you don't have to use Win7 or sth like that). The trick is that you don't get any haptic feedback from the FE375CXG and you also don't (nearly) see anything on screen of the fonepad. You really have to push all 3 buttons (+) (-) and (Power). You can count to 4 or (better) take a deep look on the fonepad-screen, it flickers! Then release the buttons. After when you plugin your device (and everything is ok) Windows shows a screen, installation of "moorefield" or "adb-drivers.." something like that. Then you can go on with 4) Downgrade.cmd
Great Job .. many thanxx
How to downgrade from Lollipop to kitkat on Asus fonepad fe375cg? please, help!
So I'm facing some problems after upgrading to Lollipop via OTA. The device became very slow, I can hardly use it. Can I use this method to downgrade to KitKat? In other words, Can I use Kitkat firmware instead of the lollipop and continue with the same steps?!
Confirmed work for K019 Asus Fonepad 7 FE375CXG, indonesia,
with latest firmware WW_fonepad-12.14.3.18 official ota.
never tampered with, locked bootloader, not rooted.
i only used this tablet for my porn device.
Thank you op,, you have no idea how i bricked 2 different asus devices with different methods,,, and this is the only method that works....
As for problems, i have a few:
1. Step 4-4, like zardoz77 said,, there's no feedback whether i successfully pressed the vol+,- and power button,,, for me,, there's no flickering screen either,,, but what works for me is,, you have to press that 3 button for EXACTLY 4 SECONDS, and then release it,,, more or less than 4 seconds,, then it's gonna be "intel soc detection failed".
2. Step 4-8, when i see intel logo on tablet, then disconnect -> press3 button -> reconnect -> hit enter,,, the blue window unable to recognize the tablet!! and there are dozens of "attempt to reconnect" text,,, then i yanked the usb cable,, and it continues to root,, turns out the problems is my usb cable,, just one of the few solutions of that particular step.
3. Step 4-13, for me, the first time boot after recovery is 15-20 minutes,, at first, i thought it failed,, but then gave it a time,, it will show you the welcome screen.
Thanks a lot OP,,
Now, time to strap those sweet dualshock3 controllers.
tyring to delete my posting ... but don't know how
Hi everyone ,
(first sorry for my bad english)
i got a g8 rio-l01 with a few problem ( no imei , no sn , no wifi and bt mac adresse) all this problem was solved using the hcu tool
but the biggest problem is the phone boot in a factory mode ,i can see this in the projectmenu>veneer informaton>other info>run mode: factory
so in this mode :
1-i have no shortcut panel and notification panel when i slide from up to down nothing come
2-no signial or network conection
3-in the first home page in the phone i have MMIs app/software upgrade/MMI/projectmenu/MMIa,
in the second one i have runningtest3
in the last one basic android app
4-i can't use keyboard
so i have trayed i think all huawei g8 firmware and nothing change
trayed with DC phoenix methode (the two methode) and same problem
trayed with the original soft (RIO-L01_M105_Board Software_general_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_05021TJY) and no change
trayed with l02 ,l03 ,tl00 ,slim6 and cm13 and the problem persist
bootloader and frp are unlocked ,sim too with hcu and phone rooted
if i remove appfac from user data and reboot the keyboard Appears and other app Appears but the phone stay in factory mode with no upper pannel and no network signial
i can use wifi and bt
in fastboot getvar pruduct give msm8916 (it's normal??? the phone is an msm8936)
i think there is a currupted or a missing file or partition
i have all factory flash file
bootloaderimage: huawei_msimage.mbn, MPRG8936.mbn (i don't know how tu use this two files)
fastbootimage: boot.img, ,cache.img ,cust.img ,emmc_appsboot.mbn ,erecovery.img ,frp.img ,fs_image.tar.gz.mbn.img ,gpt_both0.bin ,hyp.mbn ,log.img ,misc.mbn ,modem_st1.mbn ,modem_st2.mbn ,NON-HLOS.bin ,oeminfo.mbn , persist.img ,recovery.img ,rpm.mbn ,sbl1.mbn ,system.img ,tz.mbn,userdata.img ( and all crc file )
any idea are welcome
thank you
Hi again
So after many test ( and break and unbreak the soft many times) by editing prop and conf files, i noticed that the ro.runmode is the command controling the boot mode.
But i don't know were is this command and if it's possibol:
- To force ro.runmode=normal?
- Or any solution to by pass runningtest3 app or to fake the result?
Thank you (any help are welcome i don't worry about bteaking the phone)
Finally the phone is fully dead ?
After many flash factory, stock and custom i decided to find the way to enter to hs-usb 9008 mode and i find,by flashing the phone with cherry honor 4 rom. And the phone rebooted in 9008 mode, than flashed the ddr and the msm8936 file with zte tool. The msm will not finish and the phone reboot in fastboot (with red, green,blue screen) than reflashed factory rom with dc unlocker the phone rebooted normal but with the same problem that i have in the first.
Second try, flashed with cherry, entred 9008 mode,reflashed with zte tool (by error used a bad msm8936 file from lenovo)
And the phone stop working not detected and black screen
Third try, desassemled the phone, removed battery find test point after many risky test,the phone boot again in 9008 mode.
Reflashed with zte tool, enter red green blue fastboot, and decided to reflash all the factory with fastboot flashall méthode to unbrick an msm8916. Fastboot finish with many failed.
The phone rebooted but black screen and blinking led with continus (red,blue, green), not detected in pc, trayed with test point and nothing
I think it's fully dead now
Sorry for all this long text but just to share expérience
Thank you
And no it's not dead ðŸ˜, find the way to boot it again in 9008 mode with shorting two test point
Here we go for other test
