Dear friends!
My Sony Tablet S is bricked, I cannot doing anything now, all I can now is accessing recovery mode.....I need an original firmware for Sony tablet S, please help me if you have. I have tried some update firmware... but it's not works. Please help me, my tablet is like a brick now..
Dear neo.sys,
if You have only root your tablet and not find in this forum a file to recovery from sd card your system (there are some file that you can test searching in similar problem) You can only attend a Sony tablet upgrade to ICS and search again in this forum....
but if You are in valid assistance period contact with email Sony assistance (say it only the problem that You have not cause) and they retired your tablet and repair it free of charge; for now is this....
...
That's mean I will put my tablet S back in a box and waiting for next upgrade?
I just bought it yesterday....what the...!
I have updated 3.1 with OTA, root and using SystemApps Remover to remove some system application. And now.. it's brick. Is there any way to get back in the original firmware? (My original firmware is broken also)
Totally dead??

The question is - have you made 'rescue-backdoor'?
(lower value of build.prop incremental)
If yes - we can help you. If no - wait for ICS.

Test this ( with main connect; this delete all your data and app and root !!):
1) turn off tablet
2) press together button on and vol+; at Sony logo relase vol+
3) at new screen select "reset to factory setting" with button vol- and vol+
4) press button on to conferme
5) select "Yes delete all user data" with button vol- and vol+
6) press button on to conferme
7) tablet restart with a reset to default if have a chance...
but if You have buy it yesterday a new tablet You can have a Sony assistance...

Dear Condi and Gonzo!
Thanks for your reply, I think may be it's unlucky day of me
1. I do not making a 'rescue-backdoor'
2. I have tried using Receovery Mode to factory resetting it. It's worked but system program (that I remove it when using System Apps Remover) do not exits, because I remove S-launcher so.. I cannot access a home menu.... Can not doing anything.
This is my About Tablet S
Android Version 3.2.1 (Release 2)
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Build NUmber THMAS0012400
Is there anyway for re-flashing this tablet with original factory firmware? I don't need ICS, only need 3.2 ....

Boot your tab in normal way, if it boots ok, even without stock launcher, with black-screen, it should still be accessable via adb.
Check if 'adb shell' works. If yes - it can be fixed easly.

Dear Codi!
Yes, I adb shell work... Please show me how to fix it... I'm very appreciated that
Do you have the status bar (with the wifi and battery indicators) on the bottom of the screen after deleting data and reset to factory from recovery and reboot?
If yes, you can access the paremeters menu and choose "accessibility". You will be asked if you want to download an accessibility app. Say yes and you will be in the market. Ask for a launcher of your choice and install it. Then you will be able to install a text editor, edit build.prop and get an OTA update but be carefull, you may download the unrootable kernel 10!
Maybe you can also ask here for the s-launcher APK and install it from recovery with adb... I can't retrieve it since my tablet isn't rooted (kernel 10)...
Good luck!
Sorry Condi, I haven't seen that you're handling the thing because I was typing my post while you were answering!

Does anybody here have s-launcher APK? I really need it and please show me how to install it from adb
I really hate this ...
first ignore every hint regarding backdoor and recovery ...
did deep changes in the system and brick the device ...
afterwards crying and asking for support (our time) ...
OMG ... first of all you can go to the Google Play market and install from there a alternative launcher like GoLauncher HD and RootExplorer ...
In a next step you can ask here for the original s-launcher file and copy it back to /system/app
but to be honest ... how du.. must I be to delete the only launcher on a system?
@Condi
Good morning my friend .. how are you?
I admire your helpfulness ...
but IMHO we should ignore such a lazy guy if they ignore all our hints.
Have a nice day and best wishes to Magda.
done.

I really don't want to be here for bordering anybody, I facing a problem, and I searching a lot of time until I decide to asking for support here, actually Tablet S is very new, and I still want to play with it. I just bought it yesterday, and still excited to discovering it until now... I'm brick... Sorry if I border anybody here
Dear Codi!
I'm very thank your helping it's working now..... I don't know how to say thank you to you, Can I buy you a beer? Please check your Paypal, it's not much... but that's show my appreciate your helping me
Hi neo.sys
I hope now you have learned from it ... take the time and read our hints...
implement ALL rescue and recovery steps from Condis awesome AIO tool ...
Would you play with your new car ... dismount the breaks .. and drive to the next highway?
Be careful with your new device and respect our private time and effort ..
it is only our hobby and we get no money for the support ...
@Condi
I have a bad mood today .. maybe the reason why I am so impolite
Have a nice day and cheers ..

No problem I'm glad that your tab is working. Thanks for the beer
Now, before you make any system modifications - run AiO tool, and make rescue-backdoor. It will give you possibilty to reflash your current firmware,
if you will mess something.

Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

I enter the program is that you give to download mode and
then I get 'EU entry Not calibration mode! (Mode =

help, thanks from now!
hello
I finally entered the discharge mode and while carrying on the idt went for something to eat when I returned I showed up he was 100% complete, the phone went off and did not catch more! Does anyone know it could happen? Is there any way to restart?
please help

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.
Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.

Just want to report that I tried to install Chainfire 3D pro and my NT became loop rebooting.
Fortunately it could perform the factory reset automatically after I long pressed the power button. God bless me.

Being melodramatic much? Hehe.
Just installed or did you change any of the settings?
Yes.. happened to my NT too.. Guess it wont run chainfire3d.. now gotta root again
it just needs to be configured. No one has taken on this project yet, and wont need to until we get roms so we know what graphics drivers we are looking at. I think.

once rooted male sure you install CWM from Here. it's in a simple APK form now and you can then make a backup of your tablet before attempting anything on it, then if it goes wrong you just press and hold power and N to power up and it will take you to CWM and you can restore your backup
Make sure you report the problem to Chainfire. He needs to know so he can
1. make appropriate changes
or
2. block access to the Nook so as not to cause problems in the future.
Try doing this again to get a UART debug log to him... this would help if he knew where and why it was failing.
edit: sent pm to Chainfire with link to this thread.
So, has it been fixed for Nook Tablet yet? I ask because I'm wanting to run Street Fighter IV (but have the white boxes issue).
Im in serious need of help with unrooting my nook tablet , i have read and tried almost every method of trying to unroot my device and have came to no soulution , what am i doing wrong, i hope someone is willing to help me
So here is what happen : i rooted my nook tablet being unaware what OTA was which i found was about the automted update thats when i got screwed and my root was gone , so i performed the nook&zergy bat file and it didnt make it all the way though as it stood there with no momrnt after i accpted i wanted it rooted , then i repeted the prograsse and
nookzergy said it was rooted, so then i downloaded super user and titamum back up and downloaded honycomb launcher , i then launched honeycomb and installed superuser and titamum superuser doesnt work and busybox says my device is not rooted same with titanum back up , so then i knew something was wrong , i had to check out xda unroot nook tabkrt
fourm and downloaded the nookunroot.apk and ran it , got an error about echojava and then echo wercked or something , i factory restored my device about 10 times each time trying to repeat the process and nookzergy says its rooted but busybox and other programs telling me that my devive is not rooted , i have tryed all types of resets andfactory restore with 8 hard resets and holding power and the home when screen is off to get thr promy come up about fsctory restoring and also tryed the acclaimed update and yes my device is on version 1.4.0 not 1.4.1
Any suggestions you can advise me to help me restore or unroot my nook tablet
Thanx for taking your time in trying to help
You have some options. Try an automated factory reset and that will most definatly do it if you have full access to the device. If this dose not work then I suggest shutting down the device and trying a manual factory reset. If you do not know these combinations of keys or how to find them just ask. Also if this dosent help then you can load a boot reset. If you do not know how to do this just ask.Hope this helps!
Here's some steps to unroot if the automated script fails. First, a reminder that this will put the tablet back to oobe. Read the steps and then re-read to make sure you've got it:
Power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold following the exact steps mentioned above 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
SECOND WARNING: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Hi guys , thanx for your suggestions I'm going tontry all I know ,
But I am very curious ... How do you
A: perform a automated factory reset
Or load a boot reset , hope you can help
Thanx
Hey escc, there is a procedure provided by AdamOutler here. Its not really an automated way of unrooting but will put the NT back to factory settings without messing around with silly boot options (just make sure you delete the file after you're done )
I would recommend checking out the Nook Tablet section of the forum for a whole bunch of suggestions and options.
Edit: the linked steps well not wrote the device only roll the fw back. You well still have to wipe it fully to get the desired effects.

Unfortenly i have alreadty tried that method in the past and no results for me
Any other method could you advise me of ,or will i have to wait for the auomated update to update my device to 1.4.1 ?
search the nook tablet forum for the stock 1.4.0 firmware
place that on a sd card and it should unroot it, worst case scenario as you'll lose everything

Tried it no luck
Let me take a look around for some additional steps. The 1.4.0 file doesn't take you to ootb, it just rolls back the firmware. I had to do additional steps to get myself back up and running. While I'm looking, go into settings, device info, erase and deregister device

Your tablet still functions, yes? If so, not bricked so there's always hope . What does your fw version currently say?
In one post, which ways have you attempted? The 8 reboots _should_ work which will put the tablet back to a stock image.
Sorry for making you do this over and over but im just trying to see exactly where you are in this world.
Thanks in advance,

Lol its alright that i have to repeat steps , i want to thanx you for being so patient with me , really apprecite your help
Yeah my nook tablet still works and functions
Well my version of my nook tablet as of now is 1.4.0
Well i just attemped as what you had said , i desing and erashed in the setting then right after i did your method holding power and `N` down for 8 times then the 9th time just powering it on with just the power button
That was the last steps i did and no cigar
This truly is werid , i mean is there any way i can update to 1.4.1 so it can earased the root like it did in the past ?
Or i dont know it seems very strange , dont think no one has came across my error before ?
Sent you a pm but before responding to that, do the 8 failed reboots again. Wish there was a faster way of forcing the reboots cos it's tedious.
Just to recap:
shut down,
hold power and n
Phone will power on then turn itself off.
Release power
Press and hold power another 7 times, to a total of 8.
Once the device has powered down on the 8th time, with the phone still off, release the n key.
Press just the power key
Follow on screen prompts
Once you've registered, go find the necessary steps to root by indirect and re-download everything.
Run the runmefirst.bat
Connect the nook
Make sure it's showing as an ADB Android device
Run the nook&zergy.bat file and follow the prompts
Make sure it goes through all the steps, including blocking OTA updates
If the last step doesn't come up, look up the steps to block the OTA update.
If all/any of this falls let me know!

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 ;(
Dear all,
Please advise me with following problem.
I checked the forum but but didn't find same issue.
I have Lenovo P780, Android 4.4.2, assembly VIBEUI_V2.0_1447_7.48.1_ST_P780_baralajbi.
The thing is, that after restarting phone MOSTLY doesn't reboot (I must try it approx 20 times to reboot properly). Either the LENOVO logo depicts on the display or display becomes gray. Sometimes phone reboots, but after inserting PIN the message "Unfortunately System UI has Stopped." starts appearing in loop (each approx one second), so it's impossible to do anything on the phone. (And after another several tries it reboots normally. When it reboots NORMALLY, it plays starting melody with the logo - other times not.)
Before this unhappy state, problems started gradually by frequent crashing various apps (e.g. system web browser; "Unfortunately app XY has Stopped.") and by spontaneous restarts. I tried cache deletion and factory reset, but problems persist. It means that some apps crash after launching them AND phone can restart anytime and then it can take maybe one hour to boot Android properly.
Only solution that comes to my mind is to reinstall Android (it's question which RAM to use). But before that I'd like to ask for potential advice and experiences - what could be the cause and how to solve the problem. By the way, to actualize Android is also impossible, because the app crashes Deleting cache in case of particular apps also doesn't work.
Thank you in advance!

Hi.
What you have to do is:
1. Go to this post and download your phone firmware!
2. Go to this post and download latest MIUI from Bodia Kolibass in Mirror 9! You will fint in that folder Latest Kernel and i hope latest TWRP.
3. Read twice every tutorial and after reading twice try to flash all those things!
4. Reading twice is not optional!
5. After every install do at least one boot. Example: One boot after flash, One boot after instal MIUI.
6. After installing MIUI and boot at least once go to wifi and connect your phone. After that go to updater and look for update. Install update, boot at least once.
7. After the update is installed you are ready to use the phone.
7. If you have any problem PM me!

Hi stympy,
Thank you for your answer.
I'm just not 100% sure, which version (CN or ROW) should I use. I'm not able to find answer on internet. I have chinese letters on the battery and somehow I remember that it should mean that CN version is correct. Is it so please?
Thanks!

Hi. I used CN version of the firmware and worked well.
Like: all things are... Made in China... today... :laugh:
Soo... I know for sure that the ONLY difference between CN and ROW phones are the modems.
In all countries except China phones are sold for ROW version of the firmware.
Conclusion: you can use both of them.
But do not use ROW install firmware over CN base firmware. Use CN on CN and ROW on ROW.
For modem software you will find a post in General section named: How about some modems.
Read the tutorial from there.
Good luck.

Yes,
that is what I mean. I don't know whether my base firmaware is CN or NOW. I bought this P780 from smaller eshop several years ago. Sometimes there appears a notice in chinese language, looking like clothes advertisement.
(Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/row-cn-how-to-check-t3333532
you answered that man that he has CN firmware. I have also VIBEUI......baraljabi.)
Do these things mean I have CN base firmware?
Thank you!

I downloaded CN, read some tutorials, installed USB drivers from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202 (I have no idea whether MTK_USB__Driver installed and where, after install I cant find any change) and tried to run SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. But the tool doesn't recognize my phone. I have Windows XP.
When I turn phone on and connect, I am able to access both SD Card and Phone memory via PC, but when I turn it off, press Download in SPFT and connect the phone, it just starts to charge and nothing other happens. In the log there is repeatedly written "Scaning USB port failed!".
I spent quite a lot time looking for some solution. Do you please have an idea how to actualize the firmware?
Thanks!

Look here
On post #19.
Tell me if this dont work !
Thank you. All works well up to point C.8. After I connect the phone I get error
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032).
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!
[HINT]: Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
As a solution I found trying another firmware (or scatter file). Now I used CN+ 4GB VIBEUI_V2.0.rar. Do you please know what can be reason for this error?
(Also since this error I'm not able to turn the phone in any way.)
Thanks

Are you sure that your phone is 4Gb? Maybe is 8Gb? I am asking this just to be sure! If you know for sure that is 4Gb you should try SP Flash Tool v. 3! Sometimes, I don't know why, it works with this version of SP Flash Tool.
And none more thing.... try to quote me. I'll answer more faster.
Good luck.

Now I am not able to check it, but 99% I have 4GB.
One thing I didn't write before - after that unsuccessful try phone looks like to be uncharged - even if battery was nearly fully charged before. Interesting.
Anyways - after trying v.3 the process ended successfully. But after that phone is still dead - I can't power it on. I send the logs attached.
Maybe most interesting is message repeating in SP_FLASH_TOOL.log:
ERROR: OperationIndicator::QueryDADLHint(): da_dl_type(??) error, could not find DA download hint!(.\OperationIndicator.cpp,98)
Do you please understand this?
I admit I googled it just a little
Thank you.

Sooo....
Ok. You must tell me if you still have the original box of the phone!
If you have it look on the side and see if your phone is made after 03.2014 or on 03.2014.
If the answer is yes you must repeat the flashing procedure with the new preloader.
Here is the new preloader.
Replace the preloader in your folder and delete any *.ini file if you have one there!
Good Luck!

OK, at home I will try to find it.
But I don't understand under which condition I need to use new preloader - if phone is made on 03.2014?

On and after 03.2014.
My advice is to use the new preloader anyway.

Good,
it works now. Thank you!
So, now I should install newest TWRP and MIUI. Before it I'd like to ask some things to be sure I understand what I do.
That new TWRP is just because of MIUI, without it the current version of TWRP would be good enough?
Why need I to install MIUI? Is it more stable than current software? (Now phone looks like being usable again.)
After having the newest TWRP, shall I follow by making backup, copying the MIUI files to SD card and install via TWRP? (there are tutorials, but still I'm not sure about these basic things).
Thank you

You are right. The old Kitkat software becomes unstable after a period of time.
MIUI is still under development. You will get updates a period of time.
Latest TWRP have less bugs.
And he. Before one major change I recommend a full backup.... this backup is for.... just in case...
If you follow the steps there, you will get the perfect results. The steps are tested and redone over the last years.
If you have MIUI questions we will move our q&a in the right post... MIUI post i mean....
Good luck.

OK. I installed MIUI, rebooted and then installed also kernel. Is there big difference beetwen this kernel and kernel included in MIUI? (If you know.)
You wrote "6. After installing MIUI and boot at least once go to wifi and connect your phone. After that go to updater and look for update. Install update, boot at least once." When I try to install update it never starts to download. (It writes "Waiting for connection" in "Downloaded" section.) Do you please know what can be the cause?
Additionally, for sure: Can't that update overwrite the new kernel?
Anyways THANK YOU!!!
My phone is alive again.

For the part with kernel... I never thought to look for that...
For the part with update... i think... something is wrong... it seems to me that your phone is reacting like is on mobile data.
This is not a big thing... try to go to download icon, enter, go to download settings an see what is going on there...
Sometimes, I don't know why, the phone react like is on mobile data... when is on wifi...
After an while or after one reboot the phone will download the update.
I have to apologise to you, but what I am writing now is from my experiences with this phone. I do not have the phone no more.
I have now Lenovo P1 Pro.
Good luck.

OK, it looks like system update shouldn't overwrite custom kernel. Anyways the update doesn't download (it tries to download to phone memory instead of SD card, although I set it, but still there should be enough space in phone memory; neither I wasn't successfull when downloading it directly on PC).
I will wait and see.
So, thank you for all your help!!
I consider this thing as closed.
