I love my new Dell streak i bought in Hong Kong 2 weeks ago & now and cant seem to update from 2.1 to 2.2!
The problem is, I am not able to even check for the system updates and get a runtime error everytime i try to check.
Here are the details of my streak,
Firmware version : 2.1-update1
Baseband version : GAUSB1A120321-EU
OEM Version : STREAK.ANDROID.HK
Kernel version : 2.6.29-perf
Build number : 20100908
Can anyone help me please?
I have the exact same Dell Streak version you have! I bought my at Broadway.
Anyways - I think that the variation has to be updated by the tech support here in HK (I think they are called Kingdom Hill or something), but not sure.
If you want to upgrade yourself, I suggest you download this:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111800
What I did was this:
0. Start with our version: 2.1-update1 Baseband 21
1. Downgrade to 1.6 w/ Baseband 21
2. Convert 1.6 w/ Baseband 21 to 1.6 w/ Baseband 00
(I know it sounds backwards, but when I didn't do this, I broke 720p)
3. Rename the downloaded *.pkg to update.pkg and place in SDCARD.
4. Reboot then hold onto the volume keys
5. Upgrade
There's more details to the entire downgrade/upgrade process detailed here on the forum; if you want a step by step, I can write one for you when I get home.
I updated to Original 2.2 from Dell using this method, then ended up going to DJ_Steve's 2.2 because of the "server redirect" error (but I think it's fixed now).
I suggest updating to official 2.2 first - if you like it, stay with it - if not, at this point you can update to DJ_steve's easily.
Hi All,
Yea, I just bought my streak (from citicall HK) few day ago too.
But im not sure my unit baseband version is 00, 21 or etc. compare to
other HK version it look like hv little bit different...
Firmware version : 2.1-update1
Baseband version : GAUSB1A121211-EU
Kernel version : 2.6.29-perf
OEM Version : GAUSB1A121211
Build number : 10391
so I need backwards the baseband to 00 for fix that "broke 720p" issue
before upgrade that Streak_318_12821_00.pkg?
Thanks a lot!
sepsep
Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
I am now trying to figure out how exactly to do all the things suggested here!
Would be very thankful if someone could walk me through step by step!
Hey!
I also have the same Dell Streak version you have(STREAK.ANDROID.HK)!
Just post a simple step by step as following link:

I already have 2.2 with performance fix on my hand.

@fourbanana, Thanks for the link.. but unfortunately I do not understand chinese!
I tried to translate the page, but some of it doesnt make sense because of the literal translation by google!
Is there an english link please?
@oormila
Hi,
Sorry I didn't write more detail in the instructions -- but just try following any of the O2 2.1 to 2.2 Official guides~
The Hong Kong Dell Streak (OEM = com.android.hk) is exactly the same as the O2 2.1-update1. I remember when I first bought the streak brand new unlocked, the browser still opened the O2 website (I'm not sure if you noticed this) as the home page.
After you get to the official 2.2, it's easy to switch between the official and DJ_Steves roms.
@kohiiou,
I tried to upgrade to Android 2.2 by following the instructions on the link you gave... with GAUSB1A111800
But the problem is...my phone gets frozen with an exclamation mark after I have backed up the data, downloaded and tried to install the update.
Is this normal?
I opened the above link on my dell streak and tried to do the upgrade, should I open it on a computer?
At which step did you get an exclamation mark? Can you tell me in more detail what it said step by step exactly?
Was it a FOTA error?
@kohiiou,
Here is what I did,
I went to the link with version=GAUSB1A111800.. is this right?
Then i backed up and downloaded the upgrade package
It downloaded successfully, and then I clicked on upgrade now,
but within 10 secs, I got a mesg saying "Rebooting phone" and then immediately an exclamation mark,
And when i pressed the power button, here is what I read..
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1

What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!
That's because you need to stock recovery to flash a *.pkg file.
ClockWorkMod Recovery is for custom roms.
Since you already have ClockWorkMod installed, you can try upgrading to Steve's rom instead -- then upgrading to the official rom.
OR
I don't know if this will work and may crash your phone at boot... but you can try this at your own risk --
Go here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...o-com/323792/309-recovery-image/#entry1483575
1. Download: recovery.img.zip
2. rename the *.pkg to update.pkg
3. copy the update.pkg to /sdcard/update.pkg
4. shut down
5. disconnect usb cable
6. boot to fastboot (turn on and hold power; when LED lights up - hold on to power and camera)
7. select fastboot
8. connect usb cable
9. unzip recovery.img.zip to get recovery.img
10. open cmd terminal (if using windows)
11. fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
12. fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
13. when phone reboots - hold onto power and volume up/down keys
14. use volume keys to select update with update.pkg
15. hit camera key
16. watch it update
17. watch it reboot and then update on new screen
18. watch it reboot and watch dell logo for 5-10 mins
19. watch it reboot again and watch dell logo for 5-10 mins
20. it should finally boot up
step 16 - 20 is all automatic. You don't need to boot - don't turn off your phone, don't pull out memory card, don't touch~ just wait...
if it doesn't reboot around 5-10 mins on each step, it might've crashed; message me back or post here and we can try another way~
@kohiiou
I did exactly as you said and it was ok till step no.8
(I renamed the file as update.pkg and put it directly into sd card, not in any folder)
I the open the cmd terminal and type in what you say in step no.11 but the only message i get is that it is not a recognized as an internal or external command.
my phone doesnt even switch on now!!
tried removing the battery and putting it back..same screen!!
help..please!!
two things to check:
1. do you have fastboot.exe? if yes, then go to step 2.
If no, then look for and download fastboot first, and try continuing from step 8.
2. do you have the correct drivers?
to determine if you have the right drivers, does your phone go into "fastboot mode" after connecting through usb? if not - that means you may not have the correct drivers.
Try uninstalling all dell streak usb drivers (and any other dell streak sync software), then install these drivers:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
Continue from step 8 again after.
thanks for all the help, but somehow it doesnt seem to work for me~
Also the fact that i dont have windows now but mac makes it more difficult I suppose!
I wish I could move to 2.2 but..
If there is any guide for doing that on a Macbook, please let me know.
Bring your Streak to Kinghill in Sheung Wan and they will do the update for you in 10 minutes. Make sure to back up averything on the phone first. Kinghill telephone number is 25404610. Address:Room 4001-04, 40/F, Hong Kong Plaza, 186-191 Connaught Road West, Hong Kong.
Thanks! Managed to get DJ_Steve's 1.7 finally

Hey, first of all these are the details of my phone:
Model number- HTC Hero
Firmware Version- 1.5
Baseband Version- 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
KERNERL VERSION- 2.6.27-430d1aea
Build Number- 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release keys
Software version- 1.0.0.A6288
PS- Orange UK.
------
Now the problem is I can't create an image. I saw a guide that says that for build #2.73 and up you can't create an image so i need to downgrade first and then create the image and upgrade. I tried to downgrade and couldn't. I did everything as intended and in the middle of the downgrade installation I get the phone out of sync with the computer so I get that "please connect the USB to the phone" error and my phone is just stuck with 3 greed androids and a few scentences, and would not respond until i remove battery and re-insert then it returns to the original firmware version that came with the phone. Please help me!! I've been messing with this for too long. Thanks
PS:The error I'm getting while creating the image is when i start Flashrec the bottom button is "Backup Recovery Image" instead of "Resore Backup Image" and when I insert the /sd/recovery.img in the address like i see the Flash Image button but it's blackened and cannot be pressed.
emmm
anyone? i need help
You're following an old guide. Check out my one in my signature for a quicker and easier way to gain root and install a custom rom.
hmmm
i did everything as noted, everything went OK until the emulator part. In the emulator you noted I cannot seem to get the keyboard to show. I downloaded 3 different emulators and when i type "SU" it says "bla bla has root permission" and then the whole emulator freezes until i see the "force close" prompt with either Wait or Force Close. Tried waiting, tried force closing, tried moving to the next flash_image recovery line... and then I get []erroroutput[usage: flash_image partition file.img
First,you need maybie, to create a GoldCard. Use a 2gb. or 4 gb. sdcard ( no Kingston )for that. Search on internet " how to create a goldcard " for root your phone. Then, use flashrec and recovery image ( last versions ) and finally download and install a customRom. All you have need you find on internet, Good luck! Sorry for my english.
hey
HEy
I already tried that. My SD is already a goldcard i followed some guide on the internet.. and still when i open flashrec and do everything as told and insert the address of the image on my sdcard i see "Flash Image" in an unavailable button .
Some people said that in new versions i might have to downgrade and then create the image and then upgrade..(?)
Hello & yes, yet ANOTHER person with this issue. This is what I've done:
It all started by going out to unlockr's page & following their rooting how-to. When I did this it put it in the never ending dell screen flashing lights loop. I've researched quite a few hrs on this. This is what I tried:
1) Doing factory restore (holding volume buttons & pwr buttons down) & choosing restore.
2) Borrowed a buddies SD card & tried a restore (did nothing)
3) Followed a couple of guys instructions on doing a restore one of them being here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776883
After following the directions I did see it look like it was updating back to the 1.6 OS, but after it rebooted it was still stuck in the Dell flashing loop cycle.
SO I did probably the dumbest thing I could do & took it back to Best Buy who is shipping it off... most likely to get my warranty canceled, but I didn't know what else to do. I had purchased their protection plan, so I'm not sure how it's gonna go. They would have replaced it in the store, but I had already returned my 1st one as it wouldn't boot right out of the box (not my fault).
So I figure if they don't flash it at Dell & get it back to working, I'll have to keep working on it myself to correct the issue....
So I guess my question is, any advise on why mine is being so difficult or is this just the way it is & it takes several attempts to flash these things sometimes? Or has Dell implemented a security feature in the new releases & that's what is causing my headache?
Those of you who feel the need to rain down the "Dumb thing to do returning it" please save those comments as I've already stated "I know".... I just need some positive input on getting this thing back on "it's feet" IF Dell doesn't fix it for me.
I will keep you posted on the Best Buy/Dell Drama that I'm sure will start up... I will say that if it's not fixed, I can't say that I'll continue with paying Best Buy $10 a month for a protection plan, as they supposedly will replace the phone if it was damaged in any way. If anyone has info or a story on that part of it I'd like to hear it as well.
Thanks in advance!
Look for the upgrading downgrading guide in xda. Nornally starting from 4399 build is a good start to get you back up and running.

DON'T USE THE UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING GUIDE!! IT WILL BRICK YOUR WHITE STREAK!!
The white Dell Streak is known to have something different going on with it. There is a special tool (QDLTool) that is needed to upgrade it/unbrick it. It takes you directly to stock 2.2 and you can do what you want from there. See this thread here for more information and a fix.
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...24010/warning-white-dell-streak-is-different/
Thanks for the knowledge! Didn't know there was a difference, although I suspected something was amiss when I was doing what I was instructed to do but not getting results....
Any more info is appreciated so keep it coming!!!
erm not that im saying this BUT you got protection(inshureance)accidently drop it in a sink full of water or some such like acident pay your excess and get a new one.
but i dint say that.There norm pritty good at replaceing your phone after such an acident
We'll see what happens when I get the phone back... the post from TopShelf95 may just have saved it from a fate similar to that! HA!
FOR WHITE DELL STREAKS
You'll need the QDLTools for this... so please search/google the links or posts for that.
Typed instructions from these posted from videos that I can't link to yet as I'm a noobe here...
(Hope I didn't fat finger & mistyped anything so be on the safe side & don't cut and paste command line stuff)
1) Start, type CMD in the “programs search area”, CTL, SHIFT & Enter to start command window in Admin mode.
2) Type “bcdedit –set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS & press “enter”
3) Type “bcdedit -set testsigning on” & press “enter”
4) Reboot
5) Go to the directory where you’ve stored the QDLTools (ex. C:\Streak\RepairTool) , then into the subfolders until you find the driver folder, open the subfolder “Driver_2.067”, Then “Test Certificate” .
6) Right click on qcusbtest & install cert
7) Choose “place all certificates in the following store” & browse
8) Install cert in the “Trusted Publishers” store, when done click “Ok”
9) Right Click on the qcusbtest cert again & select “Install Certificate” again
10) Choose “place all certificates in the following store” & browse
11) Now install cert in the “Trusted Root Certification Authorites” store
12) Click “Ok” when done
13) Remove & replace battery in Streak.
14) Hold down the Volume Up button & plug in USB cable
15) PC should detect connection & install drivers (which will fail)
16) Open control panel & go to device manager
17) Locate the “Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9002” (if it doesn’t have a yellow exclamation mark by it, you have the driver & can skip forward to
18) Right click & select “Update Driver Software”
19) Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
20) Select “Let me pick from a list of…”
21) Choose “Show All Devices” & click “Next”
22) Click on “Have Disk” & browse to the repair folder, drivers are in the Driver_2.067 folder, if you are using 64bit OS go to WIN64 (Win32 for 32bit)
23) Select WNET unless there is a folder for your version of Windows (for 64bit choose AMD64 unless you have an Intel Itanium CPU)
24) Select “qcser.inf”, click Open, then “Ok”
25) Choose “Qualcomm Incorporated” & choose “Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9002”, then click “Next”.
26) Click “Yes” if you get an Update Driver Warning dialogue box, then “close” once installed.
27) Now go back to QDLTool folder
28) DISCONNECT USB CABLE FROM STREAK
29) Start the QDLTool utility
30) On the QDLTool Upgrade Build screen the area “Device” with “Port:” in it should say “Not Connected”.
31) Make sure USB cable is UNPLUGGED & remove batter from the Streak.
32) LEAVE BATTERY OUT FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE
33) Replace battery & install back cover on Streak
34) Hold down Volume Up button & connect USB cable to go back into diagnostics mode
35) “Port” in the Device window will change to ”Qalcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9002 (COM4)” once the Streak has been identified.
36) Click “Run” to start the update. Takes from 3 to 4 minutes typically.
37) IF YOU GET A FAILURE AT THIS POINT go back to steps 31 thru 34. Wait for step 35 & follow 36.
38) When it says “Waiting for Reboot” your Streak should reboot itself, ready to go into Fastboot mode
39) IF IT FAILS AT THIS POINT: your ADB drivers for fastboot are not installed correctly, so fastboot may be erroring, install drivers & restart steps 28 thru 36.
40) At this point your device should have been updated & should soon finish booting into the updated Android release.
41) Take your PC out of Test mode by going to “Start”, type CMD in the “programs search area”, CTL, SHIFT & Enter to start command window in Admin mode
42) Type in “bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
43) Type in “bcdedit –set testsigning off
44) Reboot

Solution # 2
Take the phone back to where you bought it and get the black one.
As some of you may know my white one met similar fate and after hours of getting no where i just took it back and got the black one.
after 20 minutes of getting it home i had froyo 2.2 running on it.
besides..do you really want a white phone? lol
i didn't. they were supposed to give me a black one to begin with..
I told the returns lady i wanted a black one and they gave me a white one. when they booted up the phone it didnt boot and they did not say one word. they just went and got me a black one.
Frankly this was the only reason i bought one from bestbuy..
it certainly wasnt because of their pricing
Good luck.
Bigfoot, if you'll reread my original post you'll see that I've already returned one & tried to return the white one, but they would only allow one instore return. I don't care if it's white or black (I'm not racist HA!) it's gonna be in a Otterbox Defender anyway. I just want a phone/tablet that works at this point.
We'll see how the above mentioned "fix" works if I have to install it when I get my phone back.
I have the white streak too and I can tell you that the QDLTool works like a dream. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you will have 2.2 on it in no time. The Streak is virtually impossible to perma-brick. Since QDLTool works on a lower level than fastboot, it will work even when all else fails.
Awesome again good to know!
Does the qdltool work for the black streak?

FINALLY (update)
So after 42 days I FINALLY got my phone back from Best Buy... WORST customer experience... I would tell the whole experience, but I'll just make it short... they couldn't find it at one point, they shipped it back 42 days later, my 16 gig sd card is missing from it & when I got it back, they'd not reflashed the phone. So they did nothing but basically steal my sd card & gave it back to me....
ANYWAY.... After I went back to BB to find out what they were gonna do about my phone not working (which I'll have to call mgr tomorrow) I got home & followed the instructions given in this thread to flash my white dell streak & IT WORKED!!!! No issue 1st time around... Perfect, almost as easy as jailbreaking an iPhone... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP!!! You guys are awesome...
Now... I have a friend who is also asking will this process work for the Black Dell Streaks... so will it?
also
this puts your system into an unlocked status which enables you to download the official Dell 2.2 ver. One downside to it is it shuts off your wi-fi hotspot...
Good thing about the Dell ver. it fixes the buttons sensitivity for one thing that seems to be an issue on the QDAtools ver... I'm sure later builds that is fixed though (would think it would be)
WRONG
I was wrong (looked in the wrong spot) wi fi hotspot is there... my bad
so by using the tool method on my white streak, does it mean my phone is rooted? or is there more i need to do to root my white streak?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, it won't be rooted. But that's easy to do. You can stay with Dell stock ROMs (download from their website) or go with DJ_Steve's ROM which is rooted and has lots of other features. Rooting isn't hard, though, if you stay with stock. Just use Super One Click and you'll be good. I'm not sure if either method is supposed to work, but my wife's only was rooted by the second method (rage against the cage or something like that).
Also, QDL Tool works for both black and white streaks.
I have the same situation as the OP. However when I try the instructions I make it all the way to the part of running the QDL tool. There I get an error message at about 12 seconds, during the section just after Run HEX success. The error says:
ERROR[D14]:streaming hello Failed!
ERROR: Download fail!
It then says to remove battery and try again, which I do and get another failure.
Any thoughts besides taking a hammer to this thing?
after the first time it went through the fastboot (Downloading AMSS) it rebooted and I had to manually put it back into the fastboot mode (hold camera) for it to fishing writing everything else.
It Worked Perfect!
I've moved on to the Samsung Galaxy Note... My Streak did it's year or so service as well as it could (it's still working without issue) but I wanted a phone that had actual support, I am an IT tech by day & just don't wanna have to mess with yet another system that I have to do go thru a few hundred pages of forums to figure out the true method of getting something to work or install. iPhone hackers have Android beat in that area for sure... 1 click root/jailbreak is the way it should be.... but iPhone doesn't have a 5.3" screen!!!!!!
Its been couple of months I am trying to root my Galaxy S2 I9100G which was bought from China. I made deep research on XDA Forum to find any easy method! Several threads out there. At first I tried to follow this thread
The above thread founded helpful for maximum users with any problem. I tried by the provided steps with their "Superatmos (version 2.1 is very stable and recommended)" Kernel.....And it worked...rooted...but vibration function was disable (other users also had this type of problem). Then tried also to check hardware of my phone and everything was fine..I was keep looking for solution and someone on that thread said to "Flash Again With Original Stock Kernel". Well then I flashed again with INDIAN Stock Kernel...........and the result------ my phone was not booting up, only the Yellow Triangle was showing with Samsung Logo. I was just to pull my hairs when I found that many other people had this type of problem and the reason is HARD BRICKED..!!!!
Luckily my phone was restarted in download mode, and then I flashed again with "Superatmos_v3.0_XXLA1" Kernel. and voila! it restarted, booted, rooted and vibration was working again....!
Please note- Binary counter / Yellow Triangle will show. please check this pdf file by the thread-owner --http://db.tt/BwlUTGIl
The only reason for sharing my details above by thinking, its possible that other users may have this kinda problem. so this thread would be make them to relax a little bit. Now below I am repeating the steps for Rooting a Chinese Galaxy S2 I9100G with links. (Followed to Paras Lehana's original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570377)
1) Download Odin and install -- View attachment Odin3-v1.85.zip
2) Download this Superatmos Kernel file -- View attachment superatmos_v3.0_XXLA1.tar Believe me it will work any problem. You may try other version, but I Superatmos ver 2.1 which is recommended most wont work...anymore.
3) Go to Download Mode : Turn off phone. Hold vol down+home+turn on button. Release the on button after phone is turning on. After a few second, release all buttons. After that vol up.
4) Run Odin, connect phone with usb cable, yellow COMx will be shown in Odin. (Re-partition should not be ticked (no pit file is required here)
5) Select PDA button, choose the downloaded kernel file (usually a .tar file)
6) Click Start, a PASS will be shown if succeed.
That's it. you are rooted. please check other guidance for CWM Recovery / Super User / Remove Triangle / Binary Counter etc. on the thread-owner's pdf file.
Note: Users who don't wanna flash their Chinese ROM with any other but still wanna access Google/Play etc. they could follow above steps. And after rooting please follow this thread --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29464673
Also users may follow below steps for replacing their Chinese ROM to Any Other.(After ROOT)
This method requirement is root access and Mobile Odin Pro only. Even if the phone are rooted with doomlord’s method and you chose not to have CWM support, it will work too
1) Download the stock firmware and copy it to the root of sdcard (internal). “tar” and “tar.md5”will be supported also.
please check on Sammobile for stock frimwares.
2) Install Mobile Odin Pro
you could search on google for Mobile Odin Pro to get shared pro version file.
3) Run the application and from “Open file …” select file that you just copied into the phone
4) If Everroot option is not ticked itself, please tick it if you want the phone to be automatically rooted during the process
5) I will recommend to tick all three options inside Everroot
6) And also please ticked the wipe data option but it is optional, but can reduce any bugs
7) Start the flashing
8) Result : root access, no CWM support, no busybox
Followed the original post----http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570377
I just wanted to associate together all required steps posted on XDA by some real professionals. So it will be easier for those people who is still searching on for Rooing Methods for Chinese Galaxy S2 I9100G.

I tried flashing with the 3.0 XXLA1 tar as above and when the phone reboots it gets stuck on the first Samsung screen.
I can't get the old superatmos 2.1 kernel anymore (the "very stable and recommended' version) because the file has disappeared from Mediafire.
The old link was http://www.mediafire.com/?14qqbaw311b3wpm
I also tried 2.1.1 and 2.2 from http://www.android-hilfe.de/2869772-post2.html ... and I think 3.2 as well. They have the same problem.
I was a bit scared but downloaded the old I9100GOZHLPL file from
http://sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-i9100g/
and put the .tar.md5 file in the "PDA" box, clicked Start and that always takes it back to where it was (ie working again!).
I read through lots of threads here and followed all the little small instructions: USB debug mode on on phone, PIN off, KIES uninstalled on computer, no SD card. But battery and SIM card still in. The only bit I didn't follow was the "you have to install v1.0 first" advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22421729&postcount=150 because it wasn't in this post. And of course I would like to repeat what you did _exactly_ by getting the 2.1 kernel but can't find it anywhere anymore.
A Chinese page at http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/510191290.html talks about SuperOneClick working but I haven't tried it.
Another page at http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...37-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-all-things-root-4.html talks about a ROM that works on all phones except the Chinese variant
Any suggestions?
Hallo everyone.
I have just tried to follow this guide to install Google Play and so on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256075
Guide:
I'm here for help you, and yes I bought K900
Here is the international .inb file to flash.
Part One: How flash international version:
1. create SDFUSE folder in the / of sdcard.
2. insert inb file there
3. go to fastboot mode (Vol+ + Power) and choose sdfuseupdate
4. done.
you'll get official international 47 rom (ROW region). It has google apps, it has play store.
INB file is here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!xNdywAJA!AFbE_HikuoFODLpoc1j7Yg
But right after the message saying SDCARD UPDATE COMPLETED (as i remember it), the phone wont start again. The three buttons on the front flashes and nothing else happens.
Any clues to what might be the problem?
I hope you can help me!

Question
Hi Jonas,
Sorry to hear that.
Did you totally brick your phone? Can you still go into recovery or Hboot?
Is your phone recognized by adb and fastboot?
If you tell me more, maybe I can help.

Same problem
Hello
I have same problem, i brick my K900. I try to start it, but phone is really little ignorant, absolutly not response to all. Flash using xFSTK is without chance.
Yep, Recovery and DroidBoot is unavilable. Phone only one flash touch buttons and nothing more... :crying:
Can you help me? I thing, hard-brick is too hard to solve.
Sorry for my english...
Maybe it will be usefull:
Volume down, hold it, then power button, Testing Menu appear, Droidboot, Recovery, Clear cache, Clear data (factory reset), reboot.

hi tatu63
Me too got my K900 bricked while updating Rom from MFT .
Its not starting anymore. Complete black screen no menu lights at all.
When i connect my phone to usb cable it shows this in MFT tool and hangs up
07/01/14 12:47:15.886 DEBUG : New Android device -> serial: MedfieldEC710F76 status: 0 port: 1
and
I tried to change the Chinese Firmware to Global firmware to (Meizu Pro 7) and now I have a problem.
I followed this guide on this web:
chinahandys .net (I can't copy the link here since I have a new user
and so I deleted the file "boot.img"
I also couldn't open the Update.zip file with Winrar or another archive program.
then, I tried to do this :
"10. In FlashFire, select the small plus icon at the bottom right and select “Flash ZIP or OTA”. Select the “update.zip” file and confirm the pop-up with the tick at the top right"
but I couldn't find the “update.zip” file there.
finally, I tried to open the update.zip by pressing "Update".
since then my phone won't start.
The only thing i can do is pressing the "plus" button and another button below which will lead to me to a screen of Updating the system. when I try to do it's wrong because "firmware not found".
My phone is stock on the screen "flyme".
please help me!! I just bought this phone

I had same problem and this guy fixed my phone get in touch with him because there is nothing else you can do meizu left a lot of us hanging for over 3 months and no help . Good luck

Hi,
For 3 month, I hope you have find the solution. If you don't, here is mine :
I had the same problème on my phone.
I couldn't reinstall it, I think the version that I downloaded wasn't compatible with the "Chinese" version of my mobile.
You need to find the good firmware !
Could you try with this chinese firmware : MEIZU PRO7 Standard Version -Flyme6.1.3.2A-7.0
It's worked on my phone.
So,
Press and hold the volume up and power button until the screen goes on recovery mode.
Connect the device to the laptop or PC, you can open the device. You will see an empty partition named recovery.
Now copy the downloaded firmware of your phone and place it in the recovery partition. Just copy update.zip to recovery partition.
Now in the phone select update firmware and clear data and press next.
The phone will reboot and install the firmware.
Wait, wait, wait 15mn be patient.
tell me if it's working on your phone.
excuse me for my poor English !

Hello!
Was everything, such as google playstore and english language, still working on you phone after you updated the firmware?
I was also wondering if theres need to backup the IMEI somewhere?
Im currently running a modified verision of 6.1.3.2A which doesnt have all the features for the 2nd display and hence looking for an upgrade.

I used this chinese version less than 10mn. I would advise you to install the G firmware !
I didn't install the playstore (too thing in chinese in this firmware) that's why after running the version 6.1.3.2A, i used this tutorial :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75297402&postcount=70
"Download the firmware Flyme 6.1.3.2G from here
http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
after you can do the instructions in video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDp6oZL4Wx4 "
Be careful when you install superSU to do the same thing as in the video. I don't do the same than on the vidéo that's why i need to reinstall the chinese firmware. After the installation i wait 15mn and my phone stays on Flyme. i restart it and it worked for installing busybox and flashfire.
I wish you bon courage !

Ah ok, so you only used it to be able to flash the global rom on?
Ive read multiple places that its not possible to update from A to G, thats why i was thinking about going to the 7.0.0.0A ROM instead. The shop i bought it from (CECT, who are not very well informed at all) told me it would brick the phone to go to G from A, my phone is apparently not intended for global sale thats why they make their own version and flashes it on...
So now im just looking for someone who can confirm that updating to the A-rom wont remove google play or english.
EDIT: I have the Helio P25 model
