THE STORY:
I was having some problems with my htc explorer software so i gave it to my brothers friend who knows this stuff. So a month passed and he kept
telling me he hadnt gotten to it due to his busy schedule and what not. So after one and a half month later he says that its a hardware problem
and hands me the mobile phone. Now i cant get in touch with this guy.
I went to the htc shop today to get things fixed , they said it is a third party software problem and you have to get this problem sorted from
the person who caused it * ( I know right such #$#$ers those htc guys). So i have to sort this out my self as i dont want to hand my
phone to those local phone repair guys ( I have had bad experience with them ).
THE PROBLEM:
The phone is in boot loop ( I open the phone and its stuck on htc logo ) . On top of that the recovery mode isnt opening as well , it is showing
a constant black screen when i open it. ( Here is a youtube video that i uploaded ).

I have searched through the web and the only thing that i have found is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725398
Which is apparently for WILDFIRE S
The thing is that i am a totaly noob at this android stuff so i am very hesitant at trying something that is for wildfire on my explorer.
I would really appreciate help on this.

hey bro i am a htc wildfire s owner.. n i can help you..
see first of all go to bootloader
for that you will have to do this
1) remove the battery
2) wait for 2 sec
3) re insert it
4) press n hold volume down button n then press n hold power button(dont leave the volume button while pressing power button) keep holding both of the buttons untill you see a white screen(you are in bootloader menu now)
now wait untill it checks for some files.. when done you will see options like fastboot, reboot, etc etc.. there would be a option "factory reset"
scroll to with with volume buttons(volume down button means to scroll down n volume up button means scroll up) n then go to factory reset .. press power button to select it.. see if this works.. if it doesnt then reply..
Thanks for your reply , i failed to mention that my phone was already rooted and was perfectly working before i started getting the software problems.
So isnt it a bad idea to factory reset a rooted phone?

ohhk.. when you would have a working recovery you would prefer doing a factory reset ie the wipe data right?? but you telling that recoverry isnt working... so now there are two ways to wipe data..
1) the way i mentioned above
2) adb commands (it may not work while in bootloop.. you need a working ROM to use this)
Can you tell me more about those adb commands?

for using adb commands you will need the sdk
the command that you can run from adb is
Code:
adb shell
recovery--wipe_data
n the command that you can run from fastboot menu ie the bootloader
Code:
fastboot erase system
the fastboot comand MAY work.. but factory reset is preferable option
Try installing recovery again via adb

Again i am a noob at this , i just follow tutorials to do this android stuff
As far as i can see, you are able to get to the bootloader, right?
just do a factory reset, if u havent, ROOT WONT GO AWAY..
also, confirm that fastboot is working, that is the final hope to get ur pico up again...

Did the factory reset , didnt resolve anything , same problem is persisting
When ever i connect usb it fastboot changes to fastboot usb . Further than that i do not know the process of confirming whether the fastboot is working or not.

If you've rooted it,why don't you flash that recovery.bat again as posted in the rooting tutorial
..
Then after going to recovery,you may flash CYANOGEN or jaggy ROM.

I have flashed it multiple times but to no avail
hey bro .. see first off all before flashing ny thing new what you want to do now is go to hboot mode n just factory reset n just see what rom is on your device.. first make it BOOT which ever OS(ie stock or custom rom) is in the cell now..
for that you need to clear data.. just USE FACTORY RESET..
if it doesnt work then i guess you will have to S-OFF your device (idk how with a software but you can do it with XTC-CLIP ) or do it from a mobile retailer..
Your aims:-
wipe everything... (learn ADB and fastboot commands)
get to recovery
format every partiton except sd and boot
mount partitions
flash a rom
Better try to install the recovery again

After googling the hell out of the web i still couldnt find any fix for the problem.
Fortunately today i found teamwin recovery v2.2.2.1 and miraculously it booted into recovery.
So in recovery i wiped the cache , the delvik-cache. And then installed jaggyrom . Rebooted.... the htc logo showed for about half a minute then blackscreen. So i tried tried getting back to recovery and again same problem...
I reinstalled the recovery and fortunately i was able to get into it.
I cleared the cache,data,delvic-cache,system and then installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876466
Miui rom. But again when booting into the system the htc logo showed for half a minute and then black screen again.
What am i doing wrong?
i installed the firmware XXLQ5 and rooted it then i went to store downloaded unlock sim app i done it got unlocked but now what happened is my bro done somthing and got locked back to normal , i tried the same process its not working no more even with the unlock apps i downloaded from store.
also when ever now i try and go to unlock sim apps a quick message comes up it says somthing like , shell has been granted superuser permissions my god help plz
black hat seo forum
from uk
locked in network 3
The message you get is from superuser which is giving superuser access to a rooted app. Maybe from the app you tried to unlock your phone with. Have you tried flashing it again, root it and try to unlock it? I'm sorry I have no experience with unlocking apps but it's worth a shot.
Ps. You should've posted this on the Q and A section

Can you look at /efs folder using a file manager like root explorer. If it is empty then you are in trouble. If so, send it to the service center and don't mention rooting etc or else your warranty will be voided. Just say your signal just dropped suddenly while you were watching YouTube etc. I experienced having an unknown imei (with an intact efs folder) but a reboot fixed it.

Hi everyone,
i have an xperia p with stock JB on it, i never used a password for the screen lock but half an hour ago i decided to protect it with a password, so i entered it twice to set it up, after that i tried to unlock the phone and it unlocked ... After that whenever i try to unlock it and enter the password it just says sorry try again, like when you type it wrong :S
I donßt know if it is possible that i set it up wrong 2 times and the third time when it unlocked or if it is another problem :/
There is no option "Forgot password" or something to reset it, and whenever i attemt to unlock it after 5,10,15 times i just need to wait :/
I tried turning of the phone, tried also to hold volume up + unlock button till it vibrates 3 times but still the same :/
I need help here please as fast as possible, the phone is like i said on stock .400 JB with the sliding xp kernel 8.1.1, it is ROOTED and the bootloader is unlocked, thanks everyone in advance
P.S. i know i can factory reset it in CWM but that is not an option for me :/

I suppose you are rooted! You could use adb and delete the lockscreen and see if it works as a temporary solution just to enter in the phone. Tell me if it worked

I have tried that, in the xperia p the battery can not be removed but when you hold the volume up + unlock button for some seconds it vibrates 3 times and then it is like when you remove the battery ....
and the xperia p shows up in windows explorer but when i open it it doesnßt show the storages :/ Also i donßt know why the usb mount in cwm is not working :/
After i instal the android sdk what else do i need to install? I forgot it because it is a long time since i installed it on my home PC and now that i am not home i need to install everything here on this pc...
hey everyone,
i have managed to unlock my phone
For thoose who have this problem here is what i did :
Because i couldnt transfer any files by any way on my phone (i think it is because it was locked), i went first to cwm, made a nandroid backup, then i did factory reset7wipe data and after that i could open all files and folders in windows
Then i transfered the nandroid backup to my pc, opened the file "data.ext4.tar.a" in 7zip (winrar wont work because you cant delete the files direclty), i went to the subfolder "system" deleted 2 files, i dont know now the exact names but one is something gesture.key and the other is password/something, then you need to open the MD5 file in notepad and delete all the text and save the file, after that i copied the modified backup to my phone, went into cwm did a restore and the phone works without the password lock
Nice! Glad it was fixed

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck

Hello, ive got some Problems with my ne Xcover3
Because the builtin SAP Profile is not working with my cars telephone unit (Premium Volkswagen)
i want to use the app "android-rsap" but there is root needed.
No idea how to get it without bricking the phone.
So it would be very nice to get help by experienced peolpe like you
Thanks ahead
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I can't find anything on XDA on how to root that specific device. but it looks like you can copy the latest SuperSU.zip to your phone and then flash it in recovery. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you, but if i understand SuperSU right, the phone must be rooted first?
iam a bit confused
also i think the knox Trigger will be hit?
To use the SuperSU app you need to be rooted. The zip file you flash in recovery. I don't know if it'll trip knox but I'm guessing, yes.
ok i will life with that, so let me tell you my following Actions:
i download: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
put it to my sdcard and reboot in save mode (pressing 3 home on and volume up)
but what to to next? and is the device rooted after that?
sorry but iam not familar with android
I don't know your device and I can't find any information on XDA about it, but can you boot into recovery and find where it allows you to install a zip from the sdcard? You'd need to do that.
in the menü there is a Point:
"update from external device" i can navigate in the folders
but i can´t select the zip file (i put it to the root of the Card)
or should it be extracted?
thank you
Root (sm-g388f)
I would also like root rights on this unit ...
I've done over the recovery flash su version 1.8x but after the start I had the phone off third-party applications with the message "Safe Mode" and it could not be repaired other than by re-recording the original ROM
The question is jerstli version 2.46 or 2.49 beta version can handle it
I will be glad for the advice
... I am sorry for my bad English
i just started 2.46 now i see the andriod logo and downloading ....
do not disconnect usb cable
during the Software update
i think this is showing since 5 minutes nothing happens
do i have a brick now?
My own opinion ... I would have left it until the spawn either error messages or will Torch: D
EDIT: But let me know if you succeeded or not .. or what it's done
phone and Akku are quite warm
but no Change on the Screen
how Long should this Action usually take?
please reply from somebody who did such a update already?
i interupted the process
phone is starting, no root
and biggest Problem so far recovery menue not acessable
allways try to Flash die zipfile
but i allready removed it from the sdcard, so i think its in a Cache?
any idea how to fix that?
ok iam a bit stupid
power + home + vol up = recovery menu
power + home + vol down = flashing from external source?
so no Problem right now but no root
We're going to have to leave it to someone smarter ... or I do not know stim board ... I think you need to unlock the bootloader and perhaps ?? something ??
Hi guys. This thread has gone beyond the scope of XDA Assist so I'm going to ask that it be moved here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help Others with your device may see it and be able to help you
ok thank you, hope this will help
somebody sugested to install first twrp and with twrp it should be able to Flash the su.zip
but as my googleing tells me it must be a specific Version of twrp for the xcover 3 but nothing to find right now
any ideas
I'm not sure but maybe it was a flash from another phone with the same hardware but I do not understand. I calmly tried but we have to order the phone has the same or at least similar specifications
:cyclops:
you are right i think the last galaxy neo is quit similar
Do you mean this model? SAMSUNG GALAXY NEO i9060
Or send what you think
the Galaxy J1 4G nearly got the same specs , same board same cpu .. different ram and camera
but its also not rootable ;(
