[Q] Unbricking Tiny Deal GT-i9500 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a Chinese GT-i9500 ] from Tiny Deal, about a week ago. The phone was descent until I realized the phone's memory was horrible. I then decided tho root the phone, then i backed up the apps I wanted to have on the phone (Google+, Instagram, Temple Run 2, a few others) I then realized that the system had alot o space so I installed the apps into the system storage freeing my internal memory allowing my phone to run smoothly.Then a day later my Simple Mobile sim card or any other sim card wouldnt work. So i decided to try to flash a recovery using MTKDroidTools. This then messed up ,phone. :crying: I dont know if its "bricked' or not but it feels like a brick.
-It powers on to a black screen (no matter what buttons i press alongside the power button)
-When plugged in to the wall, it displays the charging animation.
-When plugged in without the batterry, while holding the volume down button, device manager says "MT65xx preloader" with a caution sign next to it.
Can someone please help me? Or atleast help me help myself. Thanks:good:

Ematic Eglide XL Pro Bricked

Ematic Eglide Xl Pro(not the XL Pro 2) Model: EGLXP101B(I could be wrong) upc:817707010269
I recieved this tablet this way and without a charger but my charger works.
I believe this tablet is bricked but it may have bad hardware and I cannot find info on how to fix this.
With Nothing connected and no external memory installed it will boot to the black android screen in pic 2 and freeze there untill I hold power about 5sec. to power off.
With only external memory installed it freezes on the splash screen in pic 1. If I press power for 1 sec. it continues to boot to black android screen in pic 2 and freezes there untill I hold power about 5sec. to power off.
-I have connected it to my windows xp pro computer and the computer did install something for a driver but as you can see in pic 3, the tablet shows up in my computer as 6 removable disks, H, I, J, K, L, and M. I cannot access any of them. I also tried ADT Bundle but it wont recognize tablet either.
I think I need to get windows to recognize tablet first but how can I do that?
If tablet has a hardware issue will windows even be able to detect the tablet?
Maybe I posted in the wrong spot, don't seem to get any help.

I feel your pain; the eglide is sort of kluged together by some guys in a garage in China. I rooted mine, installed Google play and some games and a lot of apps. The battery jack is loose and almost useless now. The battery dies after 1/2 an episode of Fringe.
I suspected the added apps were running in the background and draining the battery; I was planning to reset it to wipe out all and see if that regained my battery life. But it's now stuck in an endless splash screen loop, so I'm feeling stuck as well.
I'm going to try tinkering while it's hooked up to Android Commander on my Win 7 PC; possibly get some progress going. I'l post again if I find success.
You might try Android Commander as well: mine shows in Explorer as two Removable drives, but in Android Commander I can see the root directory and navigate and install apps. That might bail you out.
If you hold the power and volume up down, it will boot you into a diag screen; in Chinese. I'll let you know what happens when you start pressing random Chinese menu items if I get desperate.

bricked myphone:alternating batt. logo and myphone logo shows wen conected 2 laptop

hello, good day android wizards, a noobie here and i decided to post here because i cant find any similar device and its symptoms. i am using myphone agua rio fun jellybean version and i rooted it but yesterday i deleted the backup file thanks to my hidden moronic abilities now i am seriously regretting it i keep pressing the power button until the bone on my thumb dislocates and nothing shows. i also tried to press powerbutton+volumeup+volumedown a message shows recovery mode and factory mode and when i choose any of those 2 options the device will shut down for no reason. and when it is connected to laptop it will show the battery screen for about 18 secs and disappears and after 10 secs the myphone logo appears, its like they are alternating everytime and on my laptop i will hear a notification sound that the usb is inserted when the screen lights up and another notification sound for removed usb when the screen turns off even it is plugged in to my laptop for a long time again and again and again. i tried to format the sd card hoping something might happen but nothing changed.
can someone help me fix this problem or does someone has the same problem with mine? i am kindly sincerely asking for any help to solve this. please lend me your wisdom

[HELP]Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X stuck at blank screen.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, which I started using around March. Lately, I have been facing an issue which has left me troubled a lot. My Note 4X seems to be in a bootloop.
Around two weeks ago, I was casually using my phone in college. I had put around 25 apps on download from Google playstore. Alongside, whatsapp was running. I usually take pics of my lectures, so when the teacher had written on the board, and was about to erase, I quickly attempted to go to the home screen, by clicking the home button ( middle button), so I could launch the camera app, and take the pic. But, the phone didn't go to the home screen, and stayed at the app being used. However clicking on the recent apps (the left button), the two running apps showed. However, as I didn't have much time, I did what came in my mind. Reboot the phone. Unfortunately, as soon as it booted back, the screen remained black.
Its been like this for two weeks now. Whenever I turn it on, It will show the Mi logo, then the Android logo simultaneously below it ( Like usual when it boots), but after that, the screen goes black. Touching the three buttons at the bottom of the phone make the back-lit underneath light up along with a vibration(Like usual). Clicking the touchscreen gives a vibration. If a sim card is put inside, and a call made to the inserted sim card's phone number, the phone starts ringing as usual, however, still with a black screen. Another major issue I experience other than the black screen, is that the top right of the phone becomes really really hot as time progresses( within minutes)(This never happened before), and the battery drains really fast too. I get freaked out because of this( I think it might explode or catch fire), so I quickly turn off the device, after some tinkering.
I have been trying to find a solution since the past two weeks. Hard pressing the Volume Up+ Start button takes me into MiRecovery 3.0, which offers 3 options, 1.Reboot, 2. Wipe Data, 3. Connect To MiSuite. Going into 2 gives the option " Wipe All data" only, and 3 is seemingly useless the MiSuite doesn't support new versions of Android. Hard pressing the Volume Down+Start button takes me to FastBoot. It should be noted, that in both MiRecovery 3.0, and Fastboot, the phone doesn't warm up really fast, as it does when booted normally, and rather remains cool even if left for quite sometime in these modes (approx 30 minutes atleast).
The main thing I'm trying to achieve is to backup the data on my phone, mainly the photos (lecture notes), and whatsapp data. The rest of the app-data isn't that much important, albeit if also savable, it would be a bonus.
I haven't tried flashing any ROMs, recovery, or anything else, as I'm afraid the data may be erased, and as I have never done anything like this before. Also, my phone isn't rooted, as I didn't feel the need for it to be.
Help is highly appreciated. I hope to be able to safely extract my data, and be able to start using my phone again.
Thanks to advance to all those who reply.
Guys?

Back, Front camera and Flash stopped after apps transfer to sd card

Hi,
Something strange happened with my z5c E5823 running stock 7.1.1. Here is the riddle
I got a message the other day, saying space on internal memory is decreasing and the option to transfer stuff to SD card. Since there were almost no pictures and music on the phone, I keep them on SD card, there was the option to transfer about 2GB of Apps. I choose that (big mistake when I think of it now) .
I continued using the phone while the transfer was in progress and @ some point , the phone crashed. That never happened before. Screen froze and stayed like that for around 10 min, completely inactive, and the phone restarted itself alone. After this it all seemed fine until I tried to start the Camera app. It just gave me black screen and some seconds later the message - Camera has stopped/ Restart app.
The front camera and flashlight don't work either.
Another weather app - AcuWeather didn't want to start too, but after reinstalling it it was alright.
There is no such option for the camera app and clearing data and restarting didn't help.
Decided I will do a Factory reset for the first time since I use the device and tried a manual back up of all the info to the SD card. Contacts , personal info and settings backed up successfully , but the process hanged up at 50% when transferring apps. It crashed and stooped. Tried it 2 times !
Since back up wasn't possible I proceeded with the factory reset and after that the phone successfully restored my personal data, without the apps , but the camera didn't work. I did a Software repair with xperia companion with the same result.
Another bug appeared. When I pull down the full notification bar, and want to edit/rearrange the icons/shortcuts and press the little pencil next to the settings(gear) icon, the phone freezes for a few seconds and than the screen turns black. The phone is unusable at that point, thought it works, and receives calls which i can not answer. I only can restart it, because the power button gets me to the window for power off and restart.
Than I read some camera sensors might get disconnected from the board so I opened the phone , but it was alright inside. nothing changed.
Now I got an open phone and no answer or clue whatsoever of how to proceed.
Any ideas are very welcome!
I there a way to reset the phone to an earlier version of android?
Thanks inadvance!

Fusion5_108 / Allwinner A83T based tablet, stuck in boot loop / No Command

I got a cheap Fusion5_108 tab off ebay working but with a cracked "screen"
i've ordered a new digitizer... atm it's totally unresponding to touch, but will work with a mouse / keyboard in the usb A socket on the tab.
So i was playing with it, i plan to use it for one specific task... part of a train driving control desk, the tablets will be the displays found in German trains... i.e. the 'MFA' thats speedo gauges and lights on one tab, electronic timetable on another tablet, the engine dignostic data on another tab, brake pressure gauges on another etc... i already have a lenovo A6700-f that i replaced the digitizer on and did the same things to, and it still works fine.
I loaded the 'TS_MFD' app that works with the train sim via tcp, got it all working fine.
Then i decided i didnt like the google search bar along the top of the home screen, and found out online that by disabeling google services app, it'd get rid of it... so i did that, the search bar went.. but left a shadow box where it used to be... so i thought i'd reboot the tablet and see if that got rid of it.
Held power button in till i got the shutdown / re-boot options, chose re-boot.
Aaaannnd... now it's stuck in a boot loop. all it does it begin to start up... the Fusion5 logo comes up, then it goes "android is starting" 'optimizing apps, 1, 2, 3 of 3...'
Then black screen with android in middle, and that screen goes brighter and dimmer... then eventually it'll reset, and show the "android is starting, optimizing apps' thing over and over.... once it froze on the optimizing apps screen, the circle that goes round froze. but usually it's just loops... left it overnight and still doing it this monring.
If i shut it down by holding power for 10 seconds or so, and hold any volume button and power, it'll start the recovery thing... BUT all i get is the dead android and "No Command'
And no combinations of pressing the power and volume buttons will do anymore... even tried with a mouse and a keyboard... best i could get is a re-boot pressing CTRL - ALT - DELETE on the keyboard.
There seems no way to get this thing to show the recovery options... when i did this on the lenovo tab, it went straight to the 'select option with volume buttons' thing i'm expecting.
Obviousely there's no wany to get this tablet into USB debugging mode, trying the thing where you hold volume button, plug usb cable in, press power 10 times, it sometimes shows up as a usb media devise, sometimes a NDIS internet sharing devise. but they go when it boot loops.
I even tried de-soldering the battery and leaving it for 20 minutes, but upon re-soldering the battery onto the mainboard, it does the same boot loop thing.
I've read i could use Phoenix card writer to make an SD card with the firmware on it, and start the tablet up with that sd card in the slot and it'll load from it.... but where do i find the firmware? the allwinner site doesnt seem to have a firmware... that i can find for the A83T processors.
This is all i know about this devise:
Allwinner
Fusion5_108
1.0
002001014108aa62de01
A83t processor (confirmed by looking inside it)
not mine.. but same model:
ro.product.firmware=v6.0rc4_20161114
ro.fota.version=Fusion5_108_16_OS60_UK_20170310_V2F
ro.inet.model.name=N1061L14BC
Any suggestions?
Got it fixed,
Been emailing the fusion5 people, started that via their store... just google fusion5 store.
And they spend a while figuring out which tablet i have, sent an .img file... first one was for the wrong devise..... never than the one i have... but the 2nd try they got me the right firmware,
Loaded it to a micro SD card using phoenic card, popped the sd card in the tablet, started it up and it loaded the firmware, took the sd card out, and it rebooted and started up fine,
Only thing is it's android 5, and the tablet used to be running android 6... so now i'm looking at how to upgrade to marshmallow, as there are some apps i used that wont run on older than android 6.
Rom needed
Hi mate, do you mind sharing the ROM for the fusion5 108 ?
Thanks
re: Fusion5 Rom
Hi there. I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I haven't been able to find the ROM for this tablet anywhere else, so I wanted to see if you (or anyone reading this) wouldn't mind sharing it. Thanks!
