Hi, folks.
I've been reading through this forum trying to find a solution to the problem i'm currently having, but none found.
The problem:
As said in the title, Desire X is called T329w, a model custom-made for China Unicom.
Trying to root it using the app by hasoon, and everything seems to work, except one thing: the phone will not boot right away if the battery is removed and installed back again, and will only boot normally after the phone is left with battery removed for a pretty long period, luckily, 45min, and sometimes 4~5 hours.
Just wonder what could be the cause for this?
OK

What you could do is:
1. Check if the protective battery case has been removed
2. Discharge Your Battery Completely
3. Remove It From Your Phone
4. leave it on the table and go to sleep
5. Wake Up Put it back in your phone
6. Make Sure Your Phone is Switched Off
7. Charge Your Phone Completely
8. Your Problem Should Be Solved by Now
Will give it a try.
Just wonder why this happens. Is this related rooting the phone?
Maybe...

Maybe because the phone is not purely genuine
If it has something to do with the rooting maybe your battery moved during the process?

i'm suspecting that it is related to rooting the phone. The question is the stock rom is not available at the moment, so we can't go back to stock rom to test.

I guess it's rooting process related; as you flashed a Recovery based on T328 boot.img but yours is T329. If you have the stock recovery for your device, flash that, it should work normal.

I was using the recovery of DesX from this forum.
And I finally found that DesX is a little different from T329w which is available in China. HTC T329w has dual-sim card support while DesX supports only one sim card.
This is the thing that makes the differenc.

Dual booting has always been unstable and the only way out is to start from scratch. I would not advice dual booting unless you are able to spend time redoing it.

Go to the development section and check out the stickies for going back to stock. That should be your first step.

The only think that can hardbrick was that bootloader you flashed... Don't do that when it's completely unnecessary.

Hi i got my white AT&T Galaxy Note ii few months back and i really loved it, i was first using my phone with Wifi since it was locked, but after unlocking it few days ago, when i inserted my sim card, the phone showed 4G and ever since my BATTERY have not known peace, i loose 1% battery life in like 2 minutes.
I also had issues turning on my wifi hotspot so i can share network to other devices.
When i found this awesome site, i learned that i could root my phone and get it to do so much more, i did that successfully with an APK app here called framaroot, now i followed every single step well and booted my phone with Samsung Custom rom i think.
But the problem now is, my battery is still not been able to hold a charge, the 4G icon is still there which i don't need for anything, am ok with 3G, and i still have all this crazy useless AT&A apps allover my phone and i can't even turn on my hotspot for tethering.
Please i hope to get solution to this problems, and i hope i have not asked my question in the wrong thread.
Thanks all.

go here for downloading you stock firmware
or here also download odin from the second link
then open odin and place the downloaded tar file in pda
if it is a zip file extract it you will get tar file or tar.md5
then backup your data etc and turn off your phone
press vol down+home+power button to enter a screen then press vol up to enter download mode
connect your phone to pc
odin will show the port you connected
then start flashing after some time usually below 10min
odin will show pass then remove your phone and on
your phone will be as fresh as you bought

yes you can but the better is flash stock rom before you go to any custom ones
first flash the stock
then root
then do as you want install any custom rom kernel etc etc
and the process for installing stock rom will be on the original thread of the rom so follow that

Am in Africa right now and downloading here is very much limited, so i want to know, do i really need to download the the stock rom from the first link and flash it before this problem can be fixed or can the CUSTOM Jedi rom do the job for me as well, please i don't want to download 2GB if i really don't need it then renew my internet connection with a huge amount.

Hi,
After installing the Jedix 19 ROM the phone is stock on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo.
What do you think could be the cause of this, i even did the wipe data and wipe cache process but still the same thing.
Do you have a recovery installed? If you've got cwm, download CyanogenMod and stick it on an mini SD card, move it to your phone, factory wipe it and flash it. Its worked for me on a boot looped gnote2. Also, once you get a working ROM, just use your root to remove system apps.
only do this is if you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Step by step:
0: get the required stuff, you're gonna need about 250mb of internet, a microsd card, a card reader and some patience.
1: download CyanogenMod, http://get.cm and get a stable for the t0lteatt (att gnote 2)
2:download gapps for 4.3.
3:move them both to the SD and put it in your phone. Boot into recovery.
4:factory reset it, hope you don't using a out of the box phone.
5:flash cm, then gapps.
6:reboot
7:if it works, take a backup
Good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your reply, i appreciate your time.
Yes i have a backup file with the help of CWM and i have been able to move back to my backup file.
My phone model is SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and from all the reviews i have seen i think the JediX Custom ROM is the best yet for it so am trying to stick with it for a start.
I need suggestions on why after getting the congratulation message to feel the force, it won't boot and just hangs.
Please if you have experienced this in the past please your suggestions are welcomed.
Ask me questions and i'll provide answers that am sure will help you to help me solve this
I would just flash cyanogen for the time being to see if itll even boot. It just replaces the downloading stock in previous posts. If you can get it to boot, that will be progress.

So sorry i forgot to mention it that i was able to restore to my stock backup file and my phone is working fine, but i still want to flash a ROM on it.
Am tired of charging this phone every minute, this is a Note II for crying out loud.
If i ask you to choose for me, between Jedix19 and CyanogenMod 10, which would you stick with so that i'll know if am to start downloading a new ROM to flash again and try.
Thanks
Honestly I've never used a Jedi ROM, so mainly if you want to stick to Jedi try flashing a different version. Good job taking that backup, that saved a whole lotta trouble.

for battery try any other kernel or use set cpu or no frills to set up the kernel for optimum battery

I wish I knew exactly what caused this to happen. I was using a Malaysk ROM and starting having the issues. I thought maybe it was the ROM so I downgraded back to the original ROM that came with my unit and I'm still having the same issues. I downgraded through system updates in settings.
I can get it to boot into recovery, but it's just a black screen with pulsating light blue lights on the side of my unit. I have a Joying RK3188 1024x600 with the touch buttons on the left side.
Also when the unit boots up I don't get the Android splash screen anymore, it's also black. The first sign of life is when the car logo screen pops up.
There have also been multiple cases where when I am using the unit the screen has turned black ( if the radio is playing it will continue to play though ) and I can't do anything on the screen. This has to be a related issue.
Does anyone have any idea whats going on here?
I appreciate any help I can get!

Try reflashing both MCU and ROM.
Use USB method for recovery of brick unit.
Or try reflashing from GPS card by mimicking procedure as it should be done on screen working even if you don't see it (look for screenshots of recovery and try to perform needed actions - somewhere here was such hint for someone whose screen brightness was completely darked out and has to perform factory reset from recovery on the blind).

What is USB method? Just load the files on to a flash drive?
And I've found a picture of the recovery menu and I've tried that multiple times with no success.

Putting the stock MCU and ROM on the GPS card fixed it! I did the update from the settings menu and it worked! I have recovery again! Thank you so much for the help!

I had bad experience with MCU v2.83
After some time it started to make touch screen not working, factory settings pass not recognising standard 126 etc.
After restart - all normal. Then for no reasons next day problems rrapear...
Reverting to stock v2.80 resolves issue. And Nalaysk ROM works with no prob.
So, if you upgraded MCU - that may be a reason.
If not, then maybe your ROM file was corrupted. Or your internal memory got corrupted somehow.
My prob with newer MCU, not working on cold morning first start but working after reset, points out that there is some HW related issue. With new version only though! Figure it out...

I never updated the MCU so I'm really not sure what happened.
I'm actually don't mind using the stock ROM minus the fact I've already ran out of storage, is there anything I can do about that? So many things are working better for me now. Before I wasn't able to get an OBDII adapter to connect to torque and now it works perfect.
I'd love to go back to the Malaysk ROM but I just had so many issues...
Use link2sd to store your apps on an external sd card.

There is also another ROM, look for thread named Interesting ROM with FUSE support.
It is almost stock but with FUSE partitioning so you have all space for both sys app and data.
BTW your prob with OBD2 is known issue in Malaysk ROM if you enabled xposed BT module.

You need to root your head unit. Use the root code from the wiki. Then install super su and give permissions to link2sd. Remember to properly partition sd card ss well

I have the same problem now. I just went into recovery mode and installed update_4_4_4_FUSE_1024X600_RK3188_17_MAL_23_04_2016.
All was well until the Android loader image just sat there pulsing. The unit still had not started up after 40 mins of this logo being on screen.
Going into recovery mode just shows a black screen now. So my unit is effectively dead, or can it be rescued?

Is it possible to start your device normal?
No. It just sits at the bootloader.

Try in recovery mode to enter back in normal boot mode. It's difficult to explain in englisch. I had to pin a small needle into my radio and ca. 0,5 seconds before the LED are flashing, stop with pushing. When you stop pushing you must wait 5-10 second and see if you device boot up normal.
You have to try this often to find the correct moment. Thats how I entered back to normal boot mode.
I got the latest CM14.1 nightly(25 Dec) and flashed it. After that, I flashed the BlackReactor Kernel. I booted the phone and it booted up fine. I went ahead and flashed Opengapps after that. Then I went through the setup process and then flashed the GooglePixelExperience zip (v3.5) However when I booted the phone, the boot screen was completely blank and the phone's LED turned white. I waited but then the phone did not boot up.

Unrepairable hard brick. Sent mine with same prolbem to them, got it back with new mainboard. Now it on a new unreleased rom built and twrp doesn't find any partition. So no more root or custom rom.
See my posts to read more about it.
I had similar issue with a kernel once where screen went black and white LED. Was able to reflash ROM no problem. Your better too install pixel experience piece by piece.
Can't be a hard brick

It can't be a hard brick, I was able to get into recovery and wipe and reflash the ROM, this time without flashing GooglePixel Experience and it worked just fine.

What do you mean by installing GooglePixel Experience piece by piece? It's a single zip file.
Did it work on any previous version of the rom or did it work without the custom kernel?

Google experience is made up of mostly installable apps. You could open the zip with file manager and see what it consists of. Might be just one thing in the zip that's not compatible with your device or maybe are version of cm14

I never tried using it with the previous version of the ROM, I had found the zip from a different site and it worked just fine. I wasn't able to find the link to my previous one and only found this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=122156

Definitely not mate. Hell half the time if mine kernel panics, depending on the rom it just goes to a black screen with white LED. You can find that all across this forum as the phone just does that.
A good day to all!
I have had an issue with my S6 edge (SM-G925F, Philippines Globe Carrier Version) for months now wherein it keeps restarting/crashing. The problem persists so randomly, sometimes multiple times a day or sometimes a day or two without it. I've already tried everything I could find in the internet, such as; deleting the cache in recovery, factory wiping the phone, and flashing the newest firmware i found for it on sammobile. Noting seemed to work. This is my last attempt in fixing the phone before I give up. I hope someone can give me good advice about this.
So nobody knows how to fix this? I don't care if it's a hardware problem i just wanna know
yh man,same problem...i cant even boot to the system..is your led flashing blue?

Is the phone currently working?
It sounds like it could be the hardware failing, could be the emmc failing.
The only thing to suggest at this point is to wipe data/cache in recovery and flash a new firmware.
Or try a custom ROM. If it happens on the custom ROM also then it's possibly hardware.

Mine can actually boot to the system but it always crashes after some time of use.

That's EXACTLY what i was thinking although i did not know that was the name of the part. I was just thinking the memory module was maybe defective already. Dang it so the logic board should be replaced right? Because as far as I know the memory is soldered to the board and hard to remove by itself let alone replacing it.
I've already tried the wiping of data/cache and flashed the newest firmware using Odin but the problem still persists.
Also tried the custom ROM and I've tried a lot of them non actually boots to the system. Only flashing the official firmware allows me to boot to the system.
Thank you for the reply I will now just give up on this and just buy a OnePlus 3T.

If it's the emmc then only way to fix is to replace the full motherboard, which isn't cheap.
It's a known problem on note 4. Emmc chip fails and eventually completely packs in.
Which custom Roms did you try? Carhd rom is a good one to try very reliable. Also when flashing a custom ROM it can take 20-30 minutes to boot into the system.

True they are very expensive that's why I'd rather just buy a new phone. I just didn't want to give up such good hardware until I've tried everything.
Oh really? I wonder why that's the case
I actually forgot which ones already but I'm sure I tried Carhd and it didn't boot for more than an hour. But I'll go and check again just to be thorough.

Yeah it's a shame really. I could be wrong that might not occur on yours. Normally when you get emmc failure, the phone will reboot to download mode and give you an error along the lines of emmc Write fail. And then keep repeating this.
3T is a good choice to go for if that's what you decide

It's alright I feel like whatever the hardware issue is it'll require the motherboard to be swapped out anyways. I can finally let the phone rest in peace haha thank you very much.
Yeah it's perfect for an android enthusiast. Already ordered one. Good bye and thanks again!

Wouldn't say it was motherboard yet. After you flash your rom you need to boot to recovery and wipe data/cache. This will fix the apps crashing
done,cant boot the system.
gave a visit to a few services,they sad around 50e would be reparation,but im student and now dont have cash for that ****..you have any other suggestions? i tried custom roms,at first magisk would always faild,last time it was ok but still couldnt boot

Do not pay for it. Chances are if you can't fix it they can't either.
So have you tried flashing stock firmware?
What Android version do you have and what region? What's full model number g925?
Reduce the cpu frequencies to 1200-800mhz for big and little and userspace governor. This the only fix.
ok,so one more thing,on the glass back of the phone sits one imei that is not correct,and on the battery is another,which reports 64g version,while next to that number is printed 32gb and phone actually has 32gb lool
it is supposed to be g925f,but after i installed some custom rom,pc showed it as g925s? i think it is due to rom signing the wrong model number
the last thing i have done was yesterday,and it was flashing firmware through kies again.
and this is what i get :
s6 edge powered by android,followed by blue screen 'installing system update',and then recovery
in the recovery,i get this :
android recovery
samsung/zeroltexx/zerolte
7.0/NRD90M/G925FXXU5EQBG
user/release-keys
*recovery options*
No suppoer SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
i realy dont know what else to try,and i am open to all suggestions..i have read that emmc storage is broken so this kind of problems can occur,so maybe service would do that?
thank you,i know this is confusing and boring problem
i tried with odin once more,and it failed at 25% instaing system update,then i restarted it and it got up to 32% and started erasing and it turned off..tf with this phone?? i guess its broken...

Download and flash that firmwsre through odin before you try anything else. Let me know what happens.
I can tell you it's likely not emmc failure. For this you would get random reboots and it would reboot to download mode. There you would have an error emmc_write_error.
wowo thanks,i just gave up on that phone,i will try again,i will report back!
just one question,why vodafone?
oh,and i did have random reboots on android m,but it would reboot to optimizing android and boot
