G'day fellow XDA devs
Sorry if i have placed this in the wrong forum

I asked the seller if it could be upgraded (he posted a link) and after i ran the update file and try to turn on the wifi, it says Unable to start wifi. I ran it through logcat and it said "error loading Wi-fi driver" I have tryed everything; factory reset, reinstalling the OS (there os only one that can bbe put on there) and i cant restore it. I have looked around at other forums and posts, but nothing seems to help

XDA2 Dead after Rom Upgrade

Hiya All,
I tried to upgrade my xda 2 with the new ROM upgrade (Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe) and now its dead. I connect my XDA2 to my PC, double clicked on the EXE and followed the prompts. I then had to go out and came back to an error on the screen which I can not remember what it is. Since then the XDA2 will not boot, only coming up with the boot screen saying "serial V1.06" and when placed in the cradle "USB V1.06"
I have followed the recovery posted from here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62
I got an image from a spare XDA2 and placed on a SD card but can not get it to load in to the dead XDA, it comes up with the following msg "sections=1 not allow update"
I have tried to re do the upgrade but can not talk to the XDA, have I missed a step or is there a configuration in the XDA that has changed some how....
I have also search the posts here and found problems close to mine and have tried them too, I do not know what the ROM version was before I tried to Upgrade but I do know it was older..I did check.
from what I have readed if I can get the SD card upgrade to work then I can re do the upgrade.
Any help PLZ
Thanks
Sorry I forgor to say that I have done 1 XDA already and all went well..

Help - Please

Sorry for annoying every one here. The problem with phone is this.
I have a O2 XDA Mini S which I recently bought. The person I bought it off had removed the O2 stuff with some other ROM. There was a few niggly problems mainly the symbol keys were assigned to the wrong keys etc.
I followed a link on the O2 website which said it was an upgrade. I installed this and it appears to actually have "downgraded" the phone. Now my phone once again has all the O2 branded stuff, I'm not an O2 customer. I'm on Meteor in Ireland.
I've tried downloading almost every file I could find related to this. New ROMs etc but once I try to install them the screen goes RGB and I get Error 300 invalid update tool
As I said I've try almost all links I can find to rectify this with no joy.
Could some very nice person out there, talk me through the steps to get my phone back running with an up to date ROM?
I'd greatly appreciate it guys. I'm a total newbie at this so I hope you'll take it easy on me
you need to use shelltool.
you will find it at the top of the G4 forum.
hope this helps.
Thanks Stabloid.
I'll give that a try when I get home. Do I just run the shell tool and then install the ROM?
Hey Stabloid,
I downloaded Shelltool. Unfortunately there was no instructions with it.
From what I could figure out I put the two cab files on the xda/ wizard and installed them there. I rebooted the xda then tried running the shell tool.
I've tried it a few times. I let the program run for an hour last night and nothing happend it just kept saying "Do not disconnect..."
The other error I kept getting was "please make hard reset" followed by a list of instructions which I followed and yet still got the same results.
Can someone please help me out with this or supply full instructions for the shell tool?
Thanks.

[Solved] CyberNav 7" Chinese tablet- boot loop, doesn't boot- logcat

Hello, after playing with a tablet I got boot loop so below is solution for this.
This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-...ps-navigator-ultra-slim-wifi-8gb-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.
Sek
im pretty sure you need a 3rd party application to flash that firmware, i think you load the .img file into the software on your pc, connect tablet in flash/recovery mode then flash it that way, dont know which software you would need to use though , sorry i cant help further
There is link to rar package http://db.tt/jm7eHfbq
If there is someone who wants to spend some time... Please help.
Bump
Some new infos:
As far I found out tablet is detectable during boot in adb, but it stays in boot loop. I think I've got right usb drivers.
I tried unyaffs the .img file using C:/unyaffs/unyaffs pw08.img but it shows file corrupted (might be wrong method?).
Logcat attached.
Maybe there is someone who will find what it's missing...
I see there is nobody who can help me, so... If some of u have similar problem with chinese tablet- bootloop, can't flash it with LiveSuit our update from sdcard, I found solution which worked for me. Using adb, pulled catalog /dev/data/ to hard disk, then deleted all dalvik cache, installed by me apps and almost every other file from /data on my hard disk. Then typed adb remount, then adb shell rm -r /dev/data/* to delete all data catalog on tablet. Then pushed /data catalog from my hard disk to tablet, and finally adb reboot. And it WORKS! Booting without problems. I wasted 4 days on research how to turn it in flash mode etc. But it was very simple.
Cheers

Hi, sek111
It was necessary to use the LiveSuite to flash through usb.
Thank you very much, from your post, I found the firmware for my tablet.
An experience with another low cost tablet with Bootloop
I happen to got my tab (Wammy from WickedLeak.org) stuck in BootLoop and was struggling to get a way out for the past 3 days, checking almost all of the posts for this issue!
The tab would stuck on the android loading animation despite running for 2-3 hours and after several hard reboots, it throw-ed following error-
Encryption Unsuccessful
encrytion was interupted and cant complete. as a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible
to resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. when you set up your tab after the reset, u'll hav an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to ur google account
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Despite going for the factory reset, it still didn't workout as the reset activity never completed or proceeded. I happen to be a beginner/noob and was trying my luck with possible solution but was comfortable with ADB stuff and workaround. Well i checked the solution which sek111 offered in this post and it was most closely helped me out. So i would like to Thank him a ton for sharing his solution.
Another method for few others if you don't get through the technical stuff and handling all the flashing tools, i was successful in bringing up the setting window of my tab and chose to do Reset via GUI which worked. Actually my battery got drained out to 7% and a popup message for same displayed while i was on the above error page. I selected the "check battery" option from that pop up and got my way out via factory "Backup and Reset" option under settings.
I hope this might help few people if not all! But the XDA forum is great and everyone will find a solution here. Cheers!!!
So I got this wm8850 chinese generic tablet. The camera is in the front in the middle (wide). It was shipped to me with 4.0.3 in boot loop. I soon found out that it boots into safe mode when I usb to pc. This is the furthest I've gotten with it so far. I can adb into it and have already tried to wipe data. It seems like since its from factory screwed up that a may need to reload the firmware or the os or something. Im kind of a noob because I only have my droid x. I've gotten it out of a boot loop before but I also knew what I had done to cause it so I fixed it. I tried to follow seks adb commands but im too noob to do it I guess. I was able to wipe data and dalvik-cache. Issue still occurs . If anybody can give me some adb commands than can help I would greatly appreciate it. Im fairly sure that I found the firmware elsewhere on xda. I thank you guys for any help at all you can give. I don't wanna send it back without trying everything software related as I can, but ill send it back if I can't fix it or if I brick it
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
i have same problem in my china mobile.. dupad k1 ... after in installed new boot screen, device stuck in boot... please help to recover my device in step by step....

[Q] Kies & Google Play error on SGS III

Good day.
Ive read through the relevant threads on your site (those i could find, despite your nice search options.).
I have an unbranded Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android version 4.0.4 - standard directly from Samsung, ive updated the OS once or twice.
Today around 2½ hours ago, i were trying to install Blizzards Authenticator for Android application. However i were never able to finish the "downloading" part. So i worked around on the phone, first going into task manager and cleaning the cache on google play and the download manager.
Then did a reboot.
That did'nt solve anything.
I then tried to start up Kies, to solve in via the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
My computer did not react to start Kies, so i rebooted my PC and got this image on start up:
- cant insert due to being a noob on the site
Its on Danish but basicly its saying that there is a problem with kies.exe and the c:\windows\system\dwrite.dll and therefore it cannot start up.
I then decided to uninstall Kies, and try to reinstall the same version again: Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1
Which then promt me with the following image:
- cant insert due to being a noob on the site
Error 1152 - cant extract
I then did a complete reset of the phone, but that have not helped me further.
Now i have zero apps on the phone as Google Play are not able to download anything at all.
So im getting really sad right now, this is my first experience with Android (got the phone two days ago) and ive been really really happy with everything until not.
Also im right now in Belgium (had a friend bring the phone from Denmark to Belgium for me), so i can't just go to the dealer and hand them the phone back .
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards
Anders
ps. sorry for posting in the wrong forum Rookie mistake - still not okay :/

Problem with tablet Ainol novo 10 hero II (V1, LG screen)

Hello,
I wish I could explain my problem quickly and clearly, but I lost count on the amount of times I wiped, flashed and reset my Tablet so... I just hope someone comes up with a genius idea, because I'm desperate. I've tried everything.
Today I decided I wanted to try and find a better ROM I could install on my Ainol Tablet, and after doing some research I found out there was a 10.1 version of Cyanogenmod that was apparently quite popular.
I followed a tutorial I found on slatedroid.com (Flashed CM 10.1, Gapps and compatibility file) and only after I found out I just flashed a ROM built for the previous model of my tablet. When I reset it it came up as if it had done a Factory reset (same firmware but everything came up in chinese).
Then I went on and managed to find a tutorial for mine; repeated the process.
Right after doing that I re-read the tutorial (I would love to attach the link but I am a new user and am not allowed to...) and realised I was supposed to update my stock firmware to the latest version before flashing CM on it (apparently so they had the same kernel). Luckily, I had made a backup with TWRP so I went back to it and went looking on my PC for said firmware.
When I managed to find it, I realised the wifi on my tablet was gone. Whenever I switch it on, it goes back off after a few seconds. So no internet.
Then I thought I could just get that update file from my PC and copy it through USB. But that wasn't working either, my laptop will not recognise it whenever I plug it. The tablet won't even recognise a USB flashdrive.
Lastly, I realised there was a miniSD card port so I tried getting the file in through that as well. In this case, the tablet displayed a "preparing SD card" message but nothing happened afterwards...
I'm completely stuck. I have tried several times going back to Factory settings through TWRP, or reloading that backup I made, erasing Dalvik/Cache every single time, but the problems are still there. Everything else seems to be working though...
I did some research and it does look like I flashed a ROM with the wrong kernel so all the drivers are gone... (When the tablet is off and charging it displays a battery that used to stand vertically. Now it comes up horizontally...).
If that was the case, would anyone have any clue on anything I could do to fix it? Any files I could get rid of? Or maybe some secret menu on TWRP I haven't taken into account...?
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated. Please help! :'(
Thanks in advance.
