[Q] MK808B don't boot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a problem with my google tv , MK808B
It doesn't boot
I have black screen after "android"
It seem to be a real one, not a fake, I open it and see it on another site, with pictures from the real and the fake
I try to flash another firmware, but I can't put it in flash mode, when I press reste button and connect to usb from otg to my pc, my pc doesn't detect mk800b
I try on differents pc
Sorry for my english, I prefer try by myself, I think it is better than google tradcution (perhaps not ?)

Up

Hi there, I got that problem as well when I first got it. Mine just stucks at the "android" logo screen forever. I panic and look up online. Apparently if you be able to flash different rom then the stock one, it should work fine like in my case. First connect your device to the computer under flash mode. So when you download the firmware zip file, unzip and you file the driver for your device "\Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.5\Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.5\RockusbDrive" it will depend on your computer to be 32 or 64bit to choose the right driver. Next go to your device manager, scan one more time for new device and update the driver from the directory above. If you install the driver properly the computer will recognize your device with no hiccup. Hope this help cause I solve my problem through this step as well.

Old threat but......
There is something around google with the nandchip pin 8 & 9. I rote something after search for mk808b firmware. Sorry for the bad help.

I think I bricked my Omnia ):

Hey guys,
When I bought my Omnia 2 with WM 6.1 on it, it worked great but when I went and installed the stupid PC studio software that came with the phone I tryed to update and now my phone has either a thing saying
"DOWNLOAD MODE!
Do not turn off.
It takes about 10 minuites."
or it will have a symbol of a phone connecting to a "!" next to a computer symbol.
I can no longer use this phone if anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
hahaha to funny bricked means it no longer turns on meaning you don't even get the download mode. its just like a useless brick. But anyways to the problem at hand, there is only one way to brick the omnia and that is if you flash the eboot which you have not done since it still works and turns on.
Unplug from USB cable and turn it of and/or take out the battery. Put the battery back in and plug it into your PC and try to update it with PC studio and see if it works it should not have an issue. Repeat the steps if it fails but this time start PC studio first and then plug in the omnia and see if that works.
If all else fails you need to get OCTANS and download the official firmware for your region or a custom firmware if you want. I'm assuming you have a I8000 which OCTANS is used to flash don't know if that is the case with other omnia 2 as well. Visit this site and look for OCTANS and all the firmware you need. Since you are flashing anyways i would recommend you flash JD3 ROMS so you have the latest. Either go official ROM or go Lite i myself am using tw2 lite ROM.
I went to that site and nothing on there says anything about "OCTANS" so could you possibly give me a link of some sort to what I need.
I've tried running PC Studio on XP and Vista with no luck on getting the computer to even see the phone anymore so I've just about given up on the whole thing.

Here is the Octans Downloader's latest version. Just run it (If you are using Windows Vista or 7, set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2), select the appropriate parts in various slots, click Detect Device and then turn off and plug your phone into usb cable. It will detect the phone, then just press Start and wait for the process to complete.
In addition to these steps, you might also need to update activesync drivers and install Samsung CDMA Modem drivers if you are using Windows 7 or Vista. For more details, see this thread :
http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/299070/tut-flashing-rom-using-octans/
I hope you get back your phone soon!
Good luck and Cheers!
same problem - cannot flash: the phone is stuck with an image of a mobile device, a pc, and a (!) sign in between.
unable to hard reset, unabe to flash - octan does not detect the phone...
any chance to save my phone?
1. get the ROMs from modaco site.
2. Start Octans and follow the ROM update guide in modao.
3. Click detect in Octans.
4. Power off phone (remove battery and insert back in ur case).
5. connect phone to PC/laptop (do not use any usb hub).
6. u shd see the download button becomes ungrey. click it to flash.
the download button remains grey......
what OS are u using?
If it's vista or win 7 and whether it is 32bit or 64bit.
The solutions are at modaco.
i read modaco.
the device is stuck: when i turn it on, the screen shows only one image:
an image of a mobiel device, a pc, and in between a (!) sign.
cannot hard reset device, cannot do anything.
am using vista, and followed all protocol from modaco (first time was able to flash - thats how the device got bricked).
octans (or the pc) does not detect the device when i connect it to the - that is the problem...
OK I now have installed the CDMA drivers and i'm running OCTANS in XP SP2 mode what OS should I download to use with the phone and how big will it be?
Thanks so much for the help guys.
And btw is there any versions that will keep the samsung virtual keypad and things like that (not the damn cube though)?
like i menchioned get a lite ROM I use tw2 ROM's Garys are good to. I like tw2 ROM because they are totally stipped ROMS except for samsung dialer and SMS and he gives cabs of all the apps so people can restore what they use. Garys is also very nice lite ROM with the basic apps that mainly everyone uses. Its your choice really what you want you can install the JD3 stock ROM as well, but why? when these lite ROM's giuve you more RAM.
As for drivers you may need to search on the site i don't have the links because there are new updated drivers for windows 7 which should work on vista too. When using octans make sure to hit detect and then plug in the phone (phone must be off) then click start. You only need to flash the PDA unless other parts messed up during the update, you won't know till you flash.
Driver installation:
1.) Turn off Phone
2.) Plug into PC
3.) Let it install the default drivers
4.) Go into device manager
5.) Go under the phone menu
6.) Update drivers and follow the steps and when asked which location point to the driver you just downloaded.
flash i8000
PROBLEM-HEPL pls..

[Q] Vibrant soft bricked, can get to download mode, windows doesn't recognize device.

People!, I'm about to pull all my hair out on this one
Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.
sent from the depths of helly bean
OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.

[Q] Problem with USB connecting

Hi everyone, I've been having some serious problems with the usb connection of my samsung galaxy fame (GT-S6810L)
1) I intended to root the phone, but the adb console wouldnt recognise the phone
2) I intended to flash a new rom from odin and maybe root later ... but odin didnt recognise it neither
3) Finallly, I gave up and said to myself "**** it, im sticking with this rom, with my tablet i dont need gaming, so i dont need rooting ...". But when I went to load some music into the phone .... oh yes, the computer didnt recognise the mass usb storage system !
I tried with 3 different cables, all usb ports and A LOT of drivers (official and unnoficial) i found out there ... i also tried the generic ones i used to root my chinese tablet thorugh ADB, but no luck. I havent tried Kies because my pc is a piece of s$%& and it could possibly explode
I think the problem would be in the drivers, because i tried plugin in another phone (samsung galaxy Y pro, GT-B5510L) and the pc didnt recognise it as well
The worst of all is that when I plug the phone into my pc, it recognises that im pluging in something, but I cant work on it
This is what I get:
(i cant post the links of the pictures, but the hardware manager shows a new menu that goes "Android Phone" with a submenu that goes "Samsung Android Interface")
I NEED help, please ............. I might throw this piece of crap in any moment
Thanks in advance
PD: i have winXP 32bit

Did you select the option of USB Debugging mode enabled when connecting to ADB??
If you didn't, then try connecting by enabling that.
As you said no other samsung devices are connecting, then you surely install driver softwares.
Here's the link to the Samsung USB Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
If you have installed Samsung Kies, disable it first and then try to connect it in Odin or ADB!!
Press thanks if I have helped you.
Yes, i turned on USB debbuging (i rooted my tablet through ADB). I turned it back off when i tried to use mass storage, as well as double checked if the usb thetering was oof (it was)
Ive never installed kies because my pc is pretty crappy (not even 1gb ram)
Ill give that driver a try and let you know, thank you !
EDIT -------------
Those were the drivers !! I love you man !

[Q] Samsung Galaxy y bootloop problem?

Hi guys! I am just a newbie in this site and wanted to know a lot from you. My problem is that after downloading a game at the play store, suddenly, applications tend to force close. I can't open a single app though before that, I can play the new games that i downloaded. I have read forums and found out that flashing through odin is the solution. Well, i have downloaded it and everything was fine until problems occurred:
#1 problem) The odin3 1.85 cannot seem to detect my device. After i connect my phone to the laptop ( i should be able to see a yellow box meaning my phone is detected) there is no yellow box that should be the hint that my phone is detected. So i downloaded samsung kies and it also can't detect my phone.
#2 problem) Well, this problem is new. Now every time I connect my phone to the computer, it automatically goes to the android recovery system without pressing the 3 button combo.
What should i do?

No need to worry. You need Samsung USB Drivers.
Download from this page
Or go to Google and search "Samsung USB Drivers"
This is link to official Samsung Page

Install them and Odin recognize the phone.

Ematic EGS-102 stuck on logo screen; computer doesn't see it when connected with USB

Hello,
I have a rooted Ematic EGS-102. Following some instructions to swap my internal sd with the external one (as the memory where the apps' data get downloaded to was only 500MBs), I believe I have typed something incorrectly inside the vold.fstab file, because after rebooting my tablet it's forever stuck on the logo screen. This is my first android tablet so please bear with me. The solution that comes to mind is to open the root files by some program on my PC and edit the vold.fstab file back (I even have a backed up version of it from a few weeks earlier), or even flash a new ROM. Now, the problem is, my computer cannot see my tablet when I connect it through USB. At all. Back before when the tablet was fine, I could use the USB to transfer files to and from my computer, but after I killed my tablet, my computer doesn't even make the sound which indicates that a USB device has been connected.
I have tried changing the USB cable and the port where I connect it to (never mind that the same cable and port work with other devices), to no avail. Having given up on the USB method working, I decided to follow some instructions on installing a custom ROM that has worked on EGS-004, and according to the one who posted that, would work on other variants such as EGS-102. Basically It was steps to installing the ROM from the external card through Recovery mode, which I followed thoroughly to no avail. The tablet still gets stuck on the "ematic" logo start screen.
I've noticed that in the Device Manager my tablet is displayed as "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)" with a yellow triangle mark indicating that it's not working properly (code 10). I tried searching that error code and trying all the solutions I found to no avail, including updating the driver (just refuses to update and keeps telling me that my driver is up to date.)
Sadly all the other methods that would have a decent shot at working (Root explorer on PC, android recovery program, even a flash EGS-004 firmware method on ematic's website) requires USB. I'm out of solutions, and unless I can get the USB to work somehow, or find out why the ROM method didn't work, my tablet would officially be dead. I'm utterly miserable that such a stupid mistake on my part ruined my tablet, and I have no way of buying another (broke student here) or returning it (out of warranty and I'm pretty sure I voided it anyway). I would absolutely appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
Edit: It's stuck on logo screen, not a bootloop. I'm terribly sorry for this confusion, my head isn't straight right now.
Still haven't found a solution :/
