[Q] rot and detox 4.0.28 - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Newbie , so please be gentle with me if my question seems daft.
have installed detox 4.0.28 and have a few questions. I have tried replying to the actual thread , but it will not let me as im new.
I installed the unofficial SDE , and installed the detox. I have root , but when i actually look at my version , it just says 4.0.28..will there be anything to actually show i have the detox version?
I followed Surd instructions , but did not have the option of " go to recovery SDE and Remove android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !"
so i carried on and "go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo from ( Archos_Deodex_4.0.28)
Ok ! ... & wait to boot !"
My other question is about reboot
I hold the power for 10 secs ..see the Archos logo flash very briefy ...if i do not release the power button quick enough ..the screen then goes blank ..and i end up pushing the power button in briefly a few times , and sometime i see the logo screen. Has anyone else experienced this
thanks for any help you can give

Hello again (you already know me as mls over on the archosfans forum LOL).
First off, its "root and deodexed" not "rot and detoxed"...
I assume you mean that you have installed this "deodexed" version 4.0.28. Even though it does have a number of other additional changes, it's still uses the Archos 4.0.28 firmware as a base... and, as such, would show up as 4.0.28 in Settings=>About. Sometimes a ROM developer will change that, or they will change what is listed further down in the Build version section. In all honesty, it is up to YOU to keep track of what you install on YOUR OWN device.
I followed Surd instructions , but did not have the option of " go to recovery SDE and Remove android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !"
so i carried on and "go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo from ( Archos_Deodex_4.0.28)

The Remove Android Kernel option will only show up once (or if you later re-install an official Archos firmware .aos again later). If you had already removed the the Android Kernel when you installed some other rooted firmware it would not show up as an option again (until you install official Archos firmware again).
My other question is about reboot
I hold the power for 10 secs ..see the Archos logo flash very briefy ...if i do not release the power button quick enough ..the screen then goes blank ..and i end up pushing the power button in briefly a few times , and sometime i see the logo screen. Has anyone else experienced this

Don't know what you mean because the ONLY time you ever would hold the power button for 10 seconds is if you wanted to force the device to reset and turn off. If the device is up and running, you would only have to hold the power button for about 3 to 5 seconds and an option menu should display giving you a choice to go into deep sleep, reboot, or turn off. Holding the power button for 10 seconds anywhere else could cause any number of other problems because you may be FORCING the system to shut down in the middle of something important that it needs to complete doing.
To get into the Recovery/SDE you have to first make sure the device is totally shut down and turned off. Then keep holding in the + (or -) volume button and just press the power button long enough for it to boot up into the Recovery/SDE menu.
As for the boot logo not showing up... well, unfortunately surdu_petru used an early version of the Archos 4.0.28 firmware for his ROM's (Archos actually released 3 different ones all with the same 4.0.28 version number... see my other posts about that elsewhere). The first release would go into a blank display for a while instead of properly displaying the animated logo.

Hi MLS
A small world (LOL) Thanks again for your reply on here ( and archosfans) LOL .. ) you have been very informative.
Rot and detox ..oops finger trouble there ..and i did not know how to go and amend the title, or the text when i used detox ( perhaps i need to go into detox from beer , to stop my rambling ..then again ....)
Power problem , yes its only when i turn the tablet on ( from off) , i normally hold the power button in , until i see the archos logo..then i let it go. Its no problem , as the screen sometimes goes blank ( making me think ..oh no!! is it broke) , but after about the same time of a normal power on..the archos logo appears , then goes, as the tablet is on, and everything is normal.
But as you have now told me the reason , i will not panic..
Thanks again.

[Q] [QUERY] HELP !! Help me Restore x10 mini to a usable condition..

Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 3 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
restore to stock by using sony ericsson update service
First, don't panic
And you have to notice and make this a lesson; if CWM said that your baseband is incompatible, it means, CWM is not flashing anything to your phone, yet.. So you only have to restart the phone, instead of recovering your CWM backup, and you'll be back to your default OS
Second, now find a tool named FlashTool, and also find a 2.1 stock firmware.. now proceed to flash with USB cable, you'll find the instruction together with the tool
Third, you'll be OK, trust me
first of all moedjs man !! Thx for sympathy n giving me courage !!
but could you kindly confirm that FlashTool would still work even If I'm unable to mount USB anywhere !! coz USB would charge phone but since I'm stuck on Sony Ericsson Logo and cant go beyond that point I'm unable to update my Firmware via PC Companion tool by Sony Ericsson tooo !!!
Thats the main reason I was panicking mate !! Kindly Kindly confirm that for me !! n I'm already liking your positive attitude ..so I do trust ya !! THX again !!
i don't understand why you can't use official seus? afaik it doesn't need anything beyond the se logo. power off phone, run seus on the pc, plug the cable while pressing the back key, etc; right?

Sir I've been through that .... for some reason it didnt work for me beyond "plug the cable while pressing the back key" STEP !! i dont know why !! i didnt have any effect watsoever, therefore I couldnt proceed with the 3rd STEP of Updating it ! =(
and is there anyway to Remove the battery !! coz once I use Home+Power Key combo it restarts device ...... is there any other combo to power off the phone, so I can atleast save battery !! anyway m also givin FLASHTOOL a try !!
can't power off? well, try these steps:
start seus on pc
connect phone and pc with usb cable
press both middle and right button at the same time and press the power button
when phone goes down keep pressing only the right button

Man I just tried turning on my device for the first time today !! Battery was discharged i guessed so Initially I got Red blinking LED light .... now even that its stable on Green .... !! my device isn't turning on !! not even showing that white Sony Ericsson logo now ! i dont know whats happening here !!
I'm trying to be calm but stuff like that keeps happening to me !! Kindly guide me with that !! its still green I hold power button n yet its showing no sign of turning on ! =(((
do you see charging battery in your screen? have you waited enough to boot it again and try the steps above?
still, if you need to disconnect the battery, here is a disassembling guide: http://goo.gl/jDd6q

Wow thanks for that Dis-Assembling guide ..... !! I'll ultimately have to try this if everything else fails ....
well I never saw Battery charging on screen !! i think not even when it was working fine !!
I think i'll give it some more time with charging !! coz it just showed me that SE logo again .... but when I tried to restart it .... the screen didnt turn back on !!!
also when SE Logo appears it appears automatically ......dont have to turn on the device ... and then also green LED light turns off ..... Im not sure whether its still charging at that time or not !! I think NOT ! this is kinda dodgy ! what do you reckon ?
no led light, no charge, i think. have you tried triple keys way again? it's kind of tricky, do it carefully.
Yeah I did !! I pressed HOME+Back at the same time and then had to Hold the Home button to turn the screen off ! then I repeatedly kept pressing the BACK button!
actually from there on it started blinking that RED Led light again .... ! I think its still needs more charging .... but then again If it charges enough to power the screen on automatically ..... the Green LED disappears .... so M kinda stuck in the loop here !
Oh God Help me !!

d. Plug USB cable to PC
e. Check if the green LED appear
f. On popup message press "OK" button
That OK Button never appears for me !! I dont knw wat to do next
Kindly help !!!!
i think flashtool needs a working system.
can you power off your phone or not? if able to do so, seus should work.
so, you have just one option if you can't start recovery: using seus.
and you've two options to start seus: the standart way, or the triple buttons way.
if you can enter recovery, you can try to wipe everything and flash a rom.
these are all i can say about it. hope you can solve it.

When charged enough there's no way to turn the device off ! I've tried both HOME+POWER & HOME+BACK then POWER (holding the back Key towards the end) button none of them actually works ! The Screen keeps powering back on, showing up that Sony Ericsson Logo !
Could it be USB Bricked or something ? (Apparently, since I cant access recovery I cant mount the device)
Try:
- turn off phone
- wait for 1 minute, phone still off
- connect to usb with flashtool
I have almost the same problem, my phone have been breaked several times but every time i had access to xrec or internet to solve problem.But this time when phone dischared for first time n I wanted to start it again I found that it's not gonna boot! Stuck on SE text logo... (I flashed CM7)
now it's charged ( although the screen was on, showing SE) n I have flasher n a rom.
but when i start to flash after showing "start Falshing" on screen (CMD) some seconds pass n CMD shows "write failed" n other things...
When i connect my phone to pc red LED shows itself for some seconds n after it disconnects itself while i'm pressing the back key...
And two questions:
1. Does it matter what the name of the ROM file -in firmware folder- is?...
2. I have to ftf files. on is about 108 MB n the other one 280 MB. Eachone can be a ROM?(I have tested Flasher with both of them.)
tnx

[Q] Bricked Rogers XT910 Help :(

Hi first sorry for my bad english but i will do my best.
So heres the story, i tried to root my GF phone in order to install CM 10.2, i was able to install safestrap but i deleted something and now the phone dont even power one. I mean when i do any combinaison of Power + Volume up or down or even Power + volume up and down at the same time nothing hapen, No motorola logo, nothing append.
But i saw something, when the phone is plugged in usb and i try to boot it with volume down + power i saw an: OMAP thing in device manager... but ... it appear, disapear like 20 time in row and stop to appear after 2 minute i mean my comp detect, delete, detect, delete if you know whats i mean
The phone is a Rogers XT910 GSM phone it was working number one prior flashing but now it dont power on. Any idea ? i searched a lot on xda, tried almost anything, but nothing work.
I flash phone on a daily basis but never flashed a motorola phone before
So, let's go, let me help you mate...
1 - turn off your phone;
2 - press and hold every single physical button together (power, Vol+, Vol-)
3 - You will see a recovery screen (like an DOS on computer)
4 - Pressing Vol- you change the options, Vol+ you select any option there
5 - Enter the option: AP Fastboot
6 - Download the program called RSDLite
7 - Download a full official retail JB rom
8 - Install this rom using RSDLite
9 - After you pass whole process succesfully, your phone is ready to be used again.
Remember: CHARGE your phone to 100%, because the process is slow and your battery will drain fast, so have sure you did a long charge before installing the rom again.
I was direct on the answer...if you have any doubt...so ask...

[Q] Nexus 7 (2012) stuck at bootloop of Cynogenmod

I have my Nexus 7 (2012) with android version 4.4.3
I rooted it by using Nexus root toolkit developed by Wugfresh and it is rooted correctly according to root checker.
Today i tried to install cyanogenmod from its website (i cannot post the link as i am not allowed becase i am new member)
I did all the steps correctly and the installer had started and then it booted up in the bootloader mode.
then on the top of the screen it was showing "Loading booted image"
then it is now showing a blue man with a white circle on its body.
After some time the installer said that theres an error (i dont remember what error it was)
then my N7 screen is on that screen of blue man with a white circle on its body (sorry for the bad language as i dont know the technical term for that thing) and is not passing that screen.
i tried to enter into bootloader mode so that i can flash it but when i press all the 3 buttons that time it loads the google screen and then it again loads up to the screen of blue man!
i tried removing battery and then thought that now its switched off so bootloader mode should switch on but it did not, instead of it again that blue man screen (i guess its the cyanogenmod's logo) came up.
i then tried pressing the power button and the volume up button but still it did not work. I am totally confused what to do now. Please help!!
It got normal like a charm!!
i kept my device as it is with that blue man. Then on that blule man android logo came up which comes when we select recovery in bootloader mode adn then i pressed the power button for approx 10 second and then it booted up normally (how android boots up).....no data loss and all normal....i d k how this happened but i am very happy!!!!

Usually after flashing a new ROM, the first booting is bit longer, as it loads arts, caches, apps for the first time.
In future whenever you'll flash new ROM, just don't worry it'll boot up after its loading

Help with Systemui.apk Boot loop [Pendopad 7] [Allwinner A33]

Hi ,
So I got a pendopad 7 from dodo car insurance promotion and while I was trying to remove kingroot and replace with supersu , I think something went wrong and now tablet is in a weird state. It boots up to show nothing but if press and hold power button I can see option to turn off the tablet. I am assuming its something to do with systemui.apk , I was wondering if there is a way to fix it without rom install as I dont have any backup or the image to restore this tablet.
Its A-33 Quadcore Pendopad 7 PNDP51M7BLK
Ram 1 gb
Android 5.1.1
1024 x 600 px
http://www.pendo.com.au/pendopad-7-q...k-pndp51m7blk/
If anyone has this tablet or rom or any method to bring it back to life. Any help is appreciated.
I can acces the normal recovery on the tablet and have tried resetting it but doesnt help .I cant find the factory image for this device
Thanks

You may need more knowledge about this but here is what you can do
DON'T PLUG IN THE DEVICE INTO THE PC YET
Install Phoenix Suit and click the firmware button
Find a firmware image for your tablet. (most likely at chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com )
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds and let the tablet sit for 10-20 seconds to insure it is completely off.
ON THE DEVICE:
1: Hold ANY button that is not the power button
2: while still holding the other button, plug in the device to the computer
KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN
3: RIGHT after you plugged the microusb press the power button really quickly around 4 or 8 times and on the computer Phoenix Suite will ask you this:
Tip: Does Mandatory Format?
Click Yes
Click Yes again
It will install the new firmware, if it shows no progress for more than 6 minutes you don't have the right firmware image.
HOPE THIS HELPS
Oh yeah, you will need to re-root the device with KingoRoot PC, and Wifi, or Bluetooth may not work anymore. Sorry about that.
