yesterday I was all in to these new x10 themes and stuff so I had to get everything installed, and as usual, I killed this poor little guy
I installed xRecovery and Busybox, and as soon as I installed the update.zip my phone got stuck at the SE logo after the first reboot, I'm clueless and desperate for help ( not really, but I don't like my old Samsung Monte so I would really appreciate some help with this x10 mini )
this might have happened because I haven't compared the ROM versions,
does anybody know how can I fix this crap? the phone is literally a brick now,
tried plugging both USB and the other cable, but nothing helps.
edit : I managed to get to the XRecovery screen, but still nothing, the phone is still getting stuck at SE logo.

Since ur able to get into xrecovery.. reflash the ROM with the flashable zip of the one presently installed..!! It will work..
Gintonic.SE by slade..
No such thing as "brick"..
Use SEUS or/and search for the term "bootloop" right here.
Wipe data from recovery is probably the easy and fast way out.

Have you meant this one?

remove spaces please.
if you did, I should now tell you I tried this a few times and it has no use, I also tried most of the other options such as " Factory wipe " and " Wipe Dalvik Cache "
phone is still stuck at the SE logo, boot-looping
I will be very grateful if someone could explain to me what is this flashing all about, looks like it helped over 80% of the people who had the same problem, and I also need to know where I could get SEUS since I only have PC Companion and when I tried to download one of the SEUS versions out there it just said the version needs to be updated,
need help ASAP, thank your for your quick responds.
SEUS download.
And then root again, and then install CWM again, and then "install custom ROM" in CWM.
There is the option of "flashtool" but I don´t understand how that should be easy in anyway.
Root with super one click, search for AAIS and install that via "Terminal emulator" from Market, and then install custom ROM via CWM..
If ANYTHING above is weird or not understandable send me a PM and I´ll happily help you out with whatever it could be.
One tip is to save everything on the SD to be able to install everything via the SD whilst on the move, except for the rooting part that is..
Looks like I just completely killed the phone, accidentally erased the XRecovery.
Is there any possible way to re-install XRecovery without using the device itself?
well I guess same issue:
- one day my phone didnt connect to PC.
- it was charging but dead on USB side
- I couldnt use seus, wotan, flasher, nothing because I couldnt use USB!
- I downloaded custom ROM via wi-fi and through xrecovery installed it
- now phone hangs at SOny Ericsson logo boot screen
I cant use USB ( yeah, cable is 100% fine, tested, PC is 100% fine, tested, all drivers, etc. ) because my cell refused to join USB and refused even in xrecovery as mass storage (flash disk) so I have expensive piece of junk on my table with shining SOny Ericsson logo on screen
Got stuck in SE logo couldnt turn phone on or off or get any where
this worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132185
if you can get in xrecovery try a diffrent rom
then you can you put a rom on your sdcard via the pc and back in the phone and use xrecovery
Did you guys wipe after install?
Try holding powerbutton+menu+backbutton and then connect the USB cable.
Let go of all except backbutton.
The green LED should light up and it should connect to SEUS.
If none of that works I could fix them IRC but that would require alot of trust from you as you would need to ship the phone to aswell as paying shipping both ways..
All I can give as security is my adress so you can see that I am who I say I am.
Oh, and I would do it for free as it´s just fun for me fixing bricked ones..
the problem is my phone wont connect to PC with USB.. otherwise it would be easy to put it again on life. many threads about it but not a single one when phone refuses to recognize USB inserted.
yup I´m always following step by step instructions and I did wipe after install. Tried that button combo..green light just blinked for second and nothing happened.
EDIT:
I´ve managed (after two days fight) to run my device again!!! USB is not working. its definitely dead. only charging works from wall charger not from USB port whatever one. I could only hope my x recovery will boot. Combo buttons werent working so I tried everything and the last step worked.
power button + left + middle + right one - restart
after the vibration put usb in it and insert SD card while holding right button ( i dont know if it helped or not but SIM card was removed too)
let it work about 10secs
release right button and my phone booted into x recovery!!! f..k im glad i have my phone back, uuuuuuuuuuuf
OK.
Try and leave it plugged in the charger for atleast an hour.
Could be the battery.

I've got an MSI Windpad Enjoy 10" Plus (http://www.msi.com/product/windpad/Enjoy-10-Plus.html) and I tried to flash it this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540616).
The rom is for MSI Windpad Enjoy 10", while mine is called Enjoy 10" Plus. So GG, I think I got owned. So retarded you don't even have to tell me.
Now whenever I try to turn on the tablet, it would simply vibrate, show the logo and then turns off. PC doesn't detect it.
However, I tried holding Power button + Reset button together, the PC detects it, but it's unknown and it can't identify it (even though I have MSI's drivers installed and all).
...Any ideas on how to overcome it?
I'm going to sleep now, and will check tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] 2/22/2013 11:00pm gmt
I'm able to boot it only if I have it plugged in. I can only use Power + Volume controllers + Reset buttons. I can enter Recovery Mode but I cannot confirm/click on any selection.
Tablet does not get recognized by the computer in "Flashing Mode".
I forced to install the driver for the "Flashing mode" when the tablet is in recovery mode but programs like MSIFlashtool, RKBatchTool, RKAdnroid. (not sure if i correcly used the last 2... but whatever)

This is not Samsung or a phone. Read what you are told
If you have a splash screen, you are not bricked. Does adb recognise your tablet? Can you access any recovery/download mode?

ADB doesn't recognize it. I tried holding Power + Reset button and did 'adb devices' on Ubuntu and it didn't show anything. On Windows, if I held these 2 buttons, it would show an unknown device in Device Manager. (Mind you, I don't have the Android SDK on Windows, just Linux.)
I can't access any recovery/download mode. Any combination of buttons (Power+VolDown, Power+VolUp/VolDown, Power+VolUP, Power+Home, Power+Back, Power+Settings) would do nothing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This what it does when I press Power + Reset Button with a needle. It boots up, splash screen, and stays on black screen (Btw, in this stage, it's Unknown Device in Windows Manager).Once I let go of Reset or Power button, it shuts down.
Turning it on without holding Reset, it would show splash screen, black screen and turns off in about 2 seconds.
Bump.
I've tried playing with it for some time. I can't get it to stay working without pressing power+reset buttons, it always shuts off...
Go to the device website, and download section, get the latest firmware and forget to download the flash driver.
Follow the steps that in firmware folder after unzip it, and you'll get your tablet on

... I was trying all the time to get it work on the PC without plugging the charger. Anyways~
(Tablet's turned off), I plugged charger, I plugged USB, I turned on the tablet and viola it actually worked and booted into OS. However, no buttons work AT ALL, and touch input doesn't work as well.
I tried to get into Recovery Mode and it worked, but I can go up/down using VolUp/VolDow buttons but I cannot click on any thing because the home button don't work nor any other.
Only Power + VolUp + VolDown + Reset buttons work... What to do now?
TL;DR I want to click on 'Update from SD Card' from the Android Recovery but I couldn't get the 'home' button to click enter on the selection. So what's the solution?
bump.
updates:
I tried to place the firmware from the official website as update.img on an SD Card and placed it in the tablet and went into the recovery mode and selected the 'update from sd card' but i couldn't click it. I tried to tap power, home, search, settings and back and nothing worked.
what I've got up until now:
I can boot into the ROM / RecoveryMod as long as I have the charger plugged in the tablet.
For Ubuntu, when I use the command $ tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug in my tablet, it shows this log http://pastebin.com/pBpBUA2Q (it identifies the tablet) [note, the tablet is booted into the ROM]
Also, if I'm in the recovery mode and I plug in the tablet, it would enumerate the USB... ~,~

Hello,
I know it has been long since this thread stopped.
I'm currently in his shoes and for the life of me cannot find anything on the web to help me solve my problem.
My MSI Enjoy 10" Plus was flashed with the wrong MSI Enjoy 10" update. Now the tablet only turns on when in "Recovery Mode", but selecting in that mode is not possible using 10" Plus' buttons. Is there anyone from you good people that can help? Please? Thanks.
Uhm...bump?
Bump? Need help from the experts here. Please. I'm desperate.
Thank you very much in advance.
Yesterday I rooted my LG Optimus L9 using LGpwn tool, after that it worked just fine.
This morning I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery. Using this post. It explains how to download and install CWM Recovery from app that you downloaded in form of APK.
This method did not work 100%, but I was able to reboot normally, so in post it said that sometimes it does not work and you need to download and use Busybox installer Link to busyboxx.
After this I managed to boot in too CWM using app from mentioned thread.
Then problem occurred. After I saw CWM was working I selected reboot device option.
Except now when it started to boot it stops right after Second LG logo (First is static one second one is animated).
I get white screen with "Encrypting" on top and gray line. And one Reset Phone button. IMG they are Dropbox links.
This is followed with Error : Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. IMG
I am able to boot in too CWM and I have tried flashing something like Cyanogenmod but I get error Status 7. Tried removing line that checks model, no use.
Tried clearing every cache and fixing permissions, nothing. Formatted everything still no use.
Dear XDA community That you in advance.
I fixed my phone by going into SW upgrade mode, and using the Upgrade Recovery function of the LG Software Update tool or whatever. Be sure you don't have any http servers open

I got the same problem, but when I try to access to SW mode and connect to LG Software Update tool to restore my phone, the phone keep disconnect and the phone screen will turn off, so I fail to restore my phone, I have already re-install the USB driver and changed a several USB cable but the problem still, but I tried to restore my phone with SW upgrade method since last night and is was OK, can anyone help me?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Problem Solve Finally, the solution is I plug the battery back to the phone after access to LGMobile Support Tool, and after finish the restore process, the phone will restart but keep boot loop, then I perform the hard reset (Remove the Battery and insert it after few seconds. And now do the 3 button HARD RESET. First press VOLUMEDOWN and HOMEbutton. Then Press Power button only for 3 seconds and release power button but dont release VolDown and Home button and KEEP BOTH PRESSING until you see a Bigger Green Standing Android and circulating Molecular structure above it.

Hi all
Today I received my freelander px2. I tried to follow the instructions posted here http://www.pandawillforum.com/showt...-PX2-MTK8389-Quad-Core-(update-Sep-6th-2013)/ to flash the device to the latest clean ROM. I got to the "Download" stage. I clicked the "Download" button and connected my Freelander PX2 with the USB cable.
I was having some issues making Windows 7 actually pick up the "MTK" device and load the correct driver. So I was playing around with the drivers and disconnecting and reconnecting the Freelander PX2 (Whilst leaving the Flash tool on DOWNLOAD mode, which was waiting for me to connect the Freelander PX2)
I must have reconnected it several times in the process of trying to make Windows 7 recognise the device. When I looked at the flash tool I noticed it had got to around 57% with the progress bar and stopped. I can only assume I managed to get the MTK drivers installed correctly at some point but tablet didn't really tell me new software was being uploaded to it. So basically I didn't know the flash tool was sending the new software to the tablet when I must have disconnected it during the process.
I can only assume I've interrupted the NAND flash process? When I try to reconnect the tablet now, it says "USB Device Not Recognized". There doesn't seem to be much support anywhere on the internet for this specific device or issue.
I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds.. nothing happens
I've tried holding the power button plus volume up button for 30 seconds.. nothing happens
There's also no USB disconnect sound when I hold the power button down? Surely a hard reset should trigger a USB disconnect sound in Windows.
What are my options at this stage? Is it completely dead?
EDIT: Ok, this was a bit strange. I left it yesterday morning and declared it dead. Today I woke up, switched my computer on and plugged it in using a different USB cable and the driver was automatically installed as "MTK preloader". I didn't try to switch the device on yet though, as I wasn't sure if it being recognized was by chance. I didn't ask questions. I just immediately started up the flash tool, hit "download" and re-plugged the USB cable. This time the software finished upload with 100% and a green circle. Then it automatically disconnected from the computer. I hit the power button and it needed some time to charge again (maybe it drained itself last time). A few minutes later the OS booted completely fine. I don't know which one of those things made it worked, the new USB cable or leaving it to discharge for a day.. I just don't know. I'm not taking any chances though, the USB cable is being binned.
Have you flashed the CWM recovery for the px2 yet?
What do you think about the new firmware? I think its alot snappier than the old one. The CWM recovery works a treat (but you have no usb cable lol ) so you cant flash it. If you do want to put the recovery on it, let me know i can help. Cheers
PX2 Bricked
Hi,
Glad you got yours working :good:
I have exactly the same problem and now mine is not reconised :crying:
How long does the flashing actually take ?
When I connected it again this morning it it reconised it and the flash toll started to work.
The green bar and red bars both went to 100% then nothing after 5 mons so I unplugged it.
Now its bricked again :crying:
Any advice guys please ?
Reset
Hi mate sorry to here of your problems. Try pressing the little button between the sim slots, if that doesnt work, press volume + and then power button and keep pressed until it starts. When you flashed it did you get the green circle at the end?
If you get it recognized again do this: ENSURE YOU HAVE FULL BATTERY AND DO NOT INTERUPT THE FLASHING
1/ Start tablet and connect usb data cable, ensure it is connected as Media device (MTP).
2/ Unpack PX2_PC_24-10-13 update to a folder of your choice.
3/ Start Flash tool and click scatter loading on the right, and go to your unpacked folder you made earlier and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc check ALL boxes at the bottom are selected.
4/ Now click on downlod button, then switch off tablet. It will either ask to load drivers or start the flashing process.Wait until you see the green circle.
5/ Restart tablet. ENJOY
If you want to put clockwork recovery on it do the following:
1/ Download Freelander_PX2_130717_CWM_recovery.img in post #162 at pandawill put it in a folder and copy MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc from the folder above to the same folder.
2/ Start tablet and connect usb data cable, ensure it is connected as Media device (MTP).
3/ Start Flash tool and click scatter loading on the right, and go to your Freelander_PX2_130717_CWM_recovery.img folder you made earlier and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc only recovery option should be checked. Dont worry about the red writing.
4/ Click download and switch off tablet, dont worry about the warning just go ahead anyway, it will only take a couple of seconds and you should see the green circle again.
5/ To check it worked press vol+ and power button to get to recovery ( should be blue text ) if it is congrats you have clockwork recovery.
6/ Enjoy your tablet
Hi,
Thanks for your help but I fear it may be terminal,as when I plug the usb in now I get nothing.
gonna try on a different computor later.
If that fails I fear my PX2 will be leaving via the upstairs window
---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------
Well it wont even charge now !
I wonder if this could mean a hardware problem or a software not sure ?
Any Ideas guys ?

PX2 revival
Hi bazza500, try pressing the reset button between the sim slots it has saved me a couple of times when i thought i had bricked mine.
If you go to the pandawill forum under MTK tablets you will find a thread there dealing with an updated by users flashable firmware with cwm recovery.
Then later if you get it up and running there is a solution to extend the internal memory from 1Gb to 2Gb which reduces the storage by 1Gb. Hope you get it running buddy. Cheers
A few tips
Windows 7 has a glitch where by if the path has Chinese characters in it the flash tool with crash/error. Extract everything to your desktop and delete the chinese characters in the folder names.
Also there's a driver error in Windows 7. Make sure you use the driver install tool to install the MTK drivers. Also make sure the driver is installed and the tablet is recognised before you run the flash tool. That's the error I made, I tried to get the drivers installed whilst running the flash tool and the firmware started flashing when I hadn't realized.
Unlike Samsung and Apple, most Chinese devices don't give you a fancy progress bar on the device. There's almost no feedback the tablet or phone being flashed in most cases.
Thanks for the help guys................
Got my replacement today but have hooked it up to updrade and there was about 3 x colours went to 100% on progress bar now nothing for 15 mins !

Last night, i accidentally swiped to restore to an older ROM that i had. Not meaning to do this, and beginning to panic, i attempted to stop it, while it was still at 0%. I did this by holding the red button down. As i have now realised how stupid that was, i am wondering if there is any chance to fix it. It is now stuck on the Sony logo. Although i have seen many problems here, i cant find anyone that had the same problem as me. I was running the existenz ROM, and the ROM i was accidentally restoring to was the official ROM. Please help me
Thank you

I had the exact same problem, I created a guide to help other people with this problem. Here it is. I can't post links yet but if you want to have a look, search for this on google ( oneplus : Xperia z2 bricked help!! ) It's the first link ( fourms Oneplus Net )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get Sony's UI/ROM back:
Download and Install Flashtool from here.
Download a proper ( official ) ftf firmware for YOUR phone ( eg Sirius ).
Now copy the downloaded ftf firmware file to ( C:\Flashtool\firmwares )
Open the Flashtool and click on the little lightning rod and choose Flashmode.
Now a window will pop up and ask you to choose firmware for your device, Choose the one you downloaded and click flash.
--------Choosing a wrong one WILL further brick your device--------
Meanwhile, turn your phone completely off, To do this hold the Power button and the volume UP button until you feel your phone vibrate 3 times.
Flashtool will pop up saying you need to put your phone into flash/fastboot mode.
Now put it on fastboot/flash mode ( connect the usb to your computer and hold down the volume up button while plugging the other end to your phone. Your phone's LED should be blue at this stage.
The flashing process will start and once it's done, Flashtool will ask you to unplug the device and restart the phone.
The first boot takes 5-10 minutes.. CONGRATS YOU HAVE UN-BRICKED YOUR PHONE.
Now if you want to root your phone and install a custom recovery ( TWRP ), Download this package and extract it on your desktop
Make sure you have usb debugging turned on ( on your phone )
Navigate inside " to root" folder and run install.bat
Once thats done, to install recovery, navigate inside the " recovery folder " and run install.bat
Make sure to follow on-screen instructions. ( your computer and your phone )
Now you have Rooted sony ROM.
