Verizon Ellipsis 7 Unbricking? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am assuming no one has bricked this device yet but I believe I just did I am rooted and stuck at a welcome screen if anybody has a solution please help! if not I'm going to the store Saturday and telling them a silly lie

Yeah I just did too :/ I installed chainfire 3D and now it stays at the Verizon loading screen. It doesn't shut off, only reboots to this screen. Safe mode doesn't work. I'm hoping there is a way to fastboot, factory restore, etc. via USB. But I think I'm SOL

I just went up to the Verizon store and play dumb I was able to get mine replaced

I figured as much. I talked to someone over the phone and they said to bring it in for a replacement. So I'm going in tomorrow for a new one. Lesson learned haha

Really hoping someone has came out with a unbrick/really BootLoop of Doom...
So I know a little about android and learn quick and there is very little information on the verizon ellipsis 7. Just so happens I bought one from a side shop and figured out Framaroot will easily root this device. Well you can guess what happen from there. All was going well until i rebooted with rom toolbox pro to change the font format for the second time. Now ever since it hasn't made it past the verizon screen and i cant take it back. Is there any possible way at all of somehow getting a custom recovery on this thing? Or even better a unbrick/bootloop? Oh and I CAN get it to go into stock recovery. Tried the Clear eMMC and Safe Mode but no luck.

Im in the same situation, I'm not able to boot into safe mode and clearing the emmc (formatting /data) doesn't seem to help either. I believe /data is just the user saved data, system data remains the same and is still corrupted. I had rooted, installed xposed framework and a few modules, rebooted fine the first time, but when I went to go change a setting within Ultimate Dynamic Navbar to make the stock navbar hide or not to hide, the script it used killed the tablet and now my wife's valentines day present is stuck in a bootloop. I'm going to try and take it back to verizon tomorrow after work, hopefully I can get yet another free tablet from big red... rvajuggalo said he was able to get it replaced right away even though it was rooted, anyone think I'll be fine taking it back as well? Or should I just wait til someone comes out with a fix for this issue?

If anyone has a clean copy of the system or firmware directories can you please share with me? --- Also if anyone knows how to get into the stock recovery without android debugging please explain? On a final note if anyone has a custom recovery that they could share that would be amazing as well. I'm in a bootloop and have been stuck in it for a couple weeks. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

If you're willing to open the back plate. (Back plate just pulls off. I'd suggest opening the sim/sd card slot and using that to pull it off. You need to disconnect the battery wait a few seconds, reconnect and then boot into recovery.
1. Black plate removal
2. Disconnect battery
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Reconnect battery
5. Press and hold Power and Down volume button until you see "Powered by Android"
6. Release the power button continue to hold down volume
7. Once in Factory recovery mode choose your best option
(I just factory reset it)
:good:

A new development, possibly.

After making edits in system files I broke my QMV7B. Hangs on powered by android logo. In a panic, I wiped emmc from factory more (Chinese).. This reset ADB keys, and complicated matters further. After some digging I may have caught a break... I have figured out a way to stop and suspend the tablet in it's pre boot, or preloader, state. While suspended, it maintains COM3 connection with SPFT, and does not power cycle on and off. It also successfully installs it's onboard Preloader driver without error. Problem is that I need help attempting flash (for best chances)...
needing stock 4.4.4 fit the qmv7, or possibly advice on stock recover if possible.. I have successfully flased devices with Odin before, and have rooted almost every I have had.. I just want the best chance for success, and not to full brick the tab.. this could also be a solution for newer devices as well, but would like to for a good developer to speak with me before I post my findings. I will also post if I get the stock room compatible for flashing with SP Flash tool.. thanks guys..

Help
Please post specifics on how you achieved suspending in Preloader mode. That would help me alot.

I really need the un-rooted qmv7a stock rom, if any one could provide, that would be fan-freaking-tabulous lol...
no, for real i need the stock rom. I'd really appreciate it.
BTW
if you wanna get clean root on this device, i suggest this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169
(has nothing to do with my need for a clean start, that was my own carelessness...)

Hey man it's been 5years & I just wanna say thank you for posting this as I just managed to get into factory mode thanks to your comment xD. factory mode didn't help me a bit but maybe when I get to a PC I can use mtk tools to get a shell or something from there. Thanks again and if anybody has anything more than what's on here about this tablet please contact me as I feel like the last human on Earth with one ????

Yeh
I have one??
And Reading all topics about rooting this tablet...i'm afraid to do that?

[SOLVED] LG Optimus V - Blank Screen

I have yet to find an answer to this while searching for the past day, so I'm going to ask about it here.
My LG Optimus V's (just got it a few days ago as a birthday present) screen seems to be permanently blank... In case someone asks... yes, it is activated.
What Happened:
I rooted the phone using Gingerbreak 1.2, installed rom manager/clockwork recovery mod, then attempted to backup my phone in case something went wrong. However, when I started the backup, I noticed that the screen was completely blank. I was kinda freaking out, so I just took a shower while it did it's thing. When I came back, it was done creating the backup and it showed up in Rom Manager. After toying with some of the things I can do with it rooted (I only rooted it to see how much of a difference it would make without changing the kernel), I decided to recover that backup. When my phone restarted to recover the backup, the screen was blank once again. After waiting for over an hour, I concluded that it must have finished (since my HTC Hero would finish restoring and never reboot until I tell it to) and took out the battery. Afterwards, it would show the LG splash screen... then the blank screen.
What I Did:
I was thinking about the android screencast java application a few hours after my problem first developed. I plugged my phone into my computer, got adb working, and android screencast showed me that my phone was actually getting stuck at the clockwork recovery mod screen. I tried many things... I installed a CM7 rom, flashed 3 different recoveries, flashed an overclocked stock rom, etc. Eventually, I flashed the stock rom (no changes whatsoever) and stock recovery. Now I can hear my phone, but cannot see it. However, I should note that while using CM7 the same thing happened. The only difference being that I could use android screencast to see the screen (the phone was actually working) with CM7. Now with the stock rom, adb is disabled and I cannot see the screen or do... anything.
What I Think I Should Do:
I'm thinking about calling Virgin Mobile and telling them that my screen is defected. If they see the issue they'll probably think that it's a hardware issue (for all I know, it could be) and they'll probably give me a replacement. However, if anyone as had the same problem and fixed it, I would love to know.
I would love you hear your opinion on this and, if possible, a fix. Thanks in advance!
(JIC, if I posed in the wrong section, I'm sorry...)
you poor souls reporting the symptoms of getting the newer screen hardware from the optimus s in your v's don't number in the double digits yet, but it's getting closer.
I posted a fix on AndroidCentral, see it:
here
good luck! the fix has worked for everyone I pointed to it so far.
btw, the screencast idea is excellent!
crud. stock recovery, you may be SOL.
you'll probably have to boot into custom recovery to use screencast or adb now.
use the unplug phone -> pull&replace battery -> hold home+volume down -> keep holding, press and hold power until lg screen goes blank to enter recovery. maybe adb will work in stock recovery, I dunno.
Thank you very much for the reply!
Yeah, you're right, I'm probably SOL... I still have one option though! Theoretically, I should be able to turn on ADB without being able to see my screen. I know how to access the settings without seeing it, but navigating myself to the "Applications", "Development", "USB Debugging" may be a little hard. I will attempt to do so. I will report my progress in a bit.
However, if you (or somebody else) could provide screenshots of a step-by-step process to turn on USB Debugging in the stock rom (since it's kinda hard to do remember where everything is and screenshots of different phones is kinda different) then I would appreciate it VERY much!
I shall update this in an hour or so.
UPDATE (9/2/11 - 9 PM):
I'm going to take a break for now. Good thing I give everyone my Google Voice number, I doubt anyone will notice a change. I'm going to flash a stock rom onto my HTC Hero so I can figure out where things are on the LG Optimus V (Same screen size) in an hour or so. I'll update my progress in like 2 hours.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 8:10 AM):
I have been unable to turn on USB Debugging and it seems to be because I don't know where the confirmation after turning it on is located. However, I should note that when I boot into (I think) recovery, "adb devices" states that the device is attached but offline. If there is a way to make it "online" from stock recovery then I would love to know. For now, I will try everything I can.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 8:22 AM):
Ok. I plugged my phone into the back of my computer and now when I do "adb devices" it detects the device in recovery mode. However, when I try "adb shell" it says "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory <2> -". I'll try some more stuff, but does anyone have any idea of what I can do? Android Screencast doesn't work either, so that's not an option.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 9:42 AM):
Crap... now it's indefinatly booting into recovery... I had something like this happen before, I'll report my status in an hour or so...
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 12:36 PM):
My friend finally got my phone booting out of recovery again! Now all I have to do is get "USB Debugging" on and it SHOULD work!
I <think> there's a key combination to power up into the bootloader. if you can find it with searching here and android central.
I haven't been able to track that down today. If you can get into the bootloader, you can fix it. Search for asadullah's fastboot root instructions here if you find a way to get into the blue screen (the bootloader, which fastboot talks to.)
otherwise, I'll be done taking the kids to the (ugh) pool in a few hours and I'll search more.
try pulling your battery for a few minutes and see if the reboot cyle stops that way, at least it might get into recovery or the rom.
glad you got back into recovery again, not too sure how to help at this stage though, since I can't find a way to get into the bootloader with a power-on key combo. just emergency mode (useless to the V since the firmware from LG is missing a file) and safe mode. boo.
there is a youtube video for enabling usb debugging on the v, maybe it'll help you find the right spots to press.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHal0hPNS6s
edit: you can also try to reboot into the bootloader with adb, even though it's missing the shell... it's worth a try, and if it works you can flash xionia recovery with fastboot and things would be a lot easier from that point.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
if that works but you need more help, a battery pull is the only way to power off with the bootloader except "fastboot reboot" will try to boot your rom.
Awesome, thanks for the replies! I'm going to try your suggestions now. I'll let you know how things work out in a few hours. I would have replied earlier, but to my satisfaction there was a surprise party planned for me, lol. I will defiantly try these out now.
Once again, thank you very much. I honestly did not expect a reply for something that happens to such few people.

I'm honestly not sure what my friend did, lol. She was just messing with it while it was, apparently, in recovery and it ended up rebooting and loading the rom. I, honestly, don't want to risk getting stuck in recovery anymore since taking out the battery for an hour didn't do anything... If I'm unable to get adb on using what I know from that video then I'll try booting into the bootloader. Like I said before, I'll report my status in a few hours. I really appreciate your help up to now!
EXTREMELY HAPPY UPDATE!!! (9/4/11 - 1:22 AM)
I was able to turn on ADB! I used what I learned from that video and how turning on ADB works on my HTC Hero to get it working and it's FINALLY ON! Now I can attempt to flash the recovery, kernel, and everything else in order to get it working! Thank you VERY much! I will let you know how everything turn out
Another Wonderful Update! (9/4/11 - 2:03 AM)
I have flashed the recovery.img (the Xionia CWMA one) and can see my screen in recovery! I haven't seen anything on my screen besides the LG splash screen so I'm overwhelmed with joy! I'm flashing a new ROM and the other stuff now!
Final Update! (9/4/11 - 2:09 AM)
2:05 AM - I see the rom's boot screen!
2:06 AM - I see the CM7 Mod boot screen!
2:08 AM - I see the UI on my screen and everything seems to be working! Thank you VERY much!
Quick question though... If I want to install a new ROM, do I need to flash the xionia anykernel one directly afterwards?
ah, excellent! glad it's working now.
you're the most persistent (and maybe technically apt) person I've helped with this so far.
I still think that using screencast was the best new idea I've seen yet.
yes, you'll need to flash the xionia kernel after flashing any rom or rom update.
roms come with their own kernel in the boot.img, and none of them currently out for the v have the video drivers from the newer sprint kernels.
right now, xionia kernel is the only thing that works.
and, you'll need to flash the key swap after changing roms, as well, but at least forgetting to do that won't take out your display.
now that you've got xionia recovery on your phone, it should be a lot easier next time.
Thank you for both the help and the compliment!
I don't like giving up when it's something I know I can do. I figured that if I was able to mount my SD card without being able to see the screen, I should be able to turn on USB Debugging as well. About the Android Screencast... I didn't actually think about it until it until I plugged in my phone while the screen was blank, ran "adb devices", and saw that my device was detected within recovery. I figured that I might as well give it a shot... and it worked.
Alright, that's what I figured. Hopefully someone realizes what's happening with refurbished Optimus V smartphones and ports the newer sprint kernels to the Optimus V. I feel like I got ripped-off though... I bought my phone "new" and got a refurbished one. I can't really do anything though, we're not technically supposed to be rooting our Virgin Mobile phones anyways, lol. I'll be sure to do that everytime now though. For now, I think I'm good with the Bumblebee rom.
Once again, thank you VERY much for your help! I know I would not have been able to fix my phone without your help.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, btw, if the Optimus V ever gets stuck in stock recovery, press the "back" button then "home" button to boot into the rom. Not sure why it works (I was never able to see the screen), but it worked.
There is a key combo!
First time caller long time listener... I bricked my own Optmus V with a bogus ROM. To boot into recovery without adb press (Home)+(Volume Down)+(Power) Now rocking CM7!

Tried restoring rom, now phone won't start. Help Please!

Hey all, this is my first android and I'm not the smartest sometimes. I tried restoring back to factory rom, and watched a bad how to vid. Basically i cleared data, system, cache and now realize i shouldn't have.
I'm not able to connect to the phone through usb. I have the drivers, but I can't see the phone.I can boot into cwm, and that is it. When i start it, it basically pulls up the LG screen, then a black screen.
I have a backup on cwm but get the md5 error.
Is it possible to put the sd card in my computer and download what i need straight to the card? Im also not sure what i need to download, if that does work.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide. Like i said im not the smartest sometimes, so dont be afraid to respond like im slow.

Can you install the Rom "The base .5". I assume so if you can get to cwm. I had this problem when flashing this Rom The first time. It did the same thing with the LG logo then go black. If that happens just reboot to cwm(May take awhile) and reflash "the base" again. That should allow it to boot the phone fully so you can at least use it till you can get all the way back to stock. I hope this helps. I have to crash now tho. I'll check back in the morning to see how it's going.

Are you trying to get back to factory settings or just get your phone running with the stock rom?
You should be able to just put the ROM on your sd card via computer if you have an SD card sleeve.
If you wiped your phone, it's my understanding that you're not supposed to when flashing the provided rom in development.
There's a posting in development, I believe, about restoring your phone to stock if you messed it up. LGNST or something.

The recovery won't generate a md5 sum (known bug). You have to generate it yourself. Connect your phone to adb and go to #4 in the FAQ here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
Note that there is no way to tell of the backup is corrupt since you are generating a valid code regardless of integrity.

I tried re-installing .4 base which is what I had originally used. It let me choose the apps to instal, and made it to the "X" screen, but appeared to be stuck in a boot loop. I am going to try and download and install .5 via the sd card and see if that works. I'm not sure if LGNPST will work since I can't see the phone via usb. I will download it and give it a try though.
I also saw the guide in the general Optimus G forums for unbricking it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
Since i cant really connect via usb, ill probably have to use a different method. Im hoping the usb issue is due to the computer im using and the original computer i used to root and unlock will work.

The method in that link is for phones that don't have official firmware to use with lgnspt. If you san get into download mode (power off phone ,connect usb,hold volume down and up plus power ) you should be able to lgnpst back to stock.

You need to go to the IRC channel to grab the new version of lgnpst and the correct files.

I'm traveling for work and on a work computer, so the IRC channel is blocked. Of course. I'm heading home tomorrow so hopefully I can get everything back to normal when i get on my home computer. (not having a phone sucks)
Do you all think it would be worth putting the base .5 on my sd card and flashing that, or do you think that wouldnt work? .4 is on there now from my original flash, but that won't work. Just curious.
Well is your phone up and running?
I would think it wouldn't cause harm to try and flash .5 onto it, your phone shouldn't get bricked from it.
i agree with Murasakiii

Welp, I think i earned the title of first bricked phone. It was able to get into recovery and download mode a couple days ago, but now it wont charge it seems. So i cant get it into any mode to do anything. Ive had it on the charger, wall and usb for a couple hours and nothing is happening. I wonder if i can take it back to my att store and try get a replacement. It is within my 14 day window, and there are "hardware" warranties. I have a feeling they will ask what happened and while i may not initially divulge everything, i sadly cant lie. And since its all my fault, i may chalk it up to learning.
i'd say the device started having issues with the USB. unable to see the device when plugged into the computer and the device won't take a charge. don't hear of too many authentic "bricking's" anymore...it can almost always be resurrected. but if the device won't take a charge your time to resolution is rather limited. good luck.

Before you leave to go to the store hook it up to a set up jumper cables and then attach the other end to your car battery. Then just tell them when you tried to charge it that it started smoking and wont turn on any more.
The only lie you have to tell them is it happened on the stock charger.
Im on the same boat. Tried going back to stock for a warranty return, and i ended up bricking the phone. Im able to get it to download mode and was able to run the lg tool but it keeps failing on me. And when it does complete it still wont load. Im going to try to make my self a powerd usb cable too see if i can get it to work. Have like 2 or 3 days to try to figure it out. Or elese im out 550 bucks.

Other option is just telling them you clicked install for the ota update it rebooted and never came back on. They just wipe them at the repair center anyway if they get them to boot up.

It took 12 hrs to get a clean download of the stock ROM (AT&T internet sucks in my area). The entire time the screen on my phone was on with the LG splash screen displayed. By the time I got the ROM ready for flash, the battery was dead. I was however able to plug in to the USB on my computer and get enough juice to get into download mode. Ran LGNPST (v2.2.3) and the stock ROM installed with no prob. You might try plugging it in then trying to get into download mode.
EDIT: now that I think about it. You need to have it plugged in to the USB before download mode anyway, so you won't be doing anything different than you already did.

[PLEASE HELP] T-Mobile Galaxy S5 Random Reboots, Freezes and Force Closes.

Hello, This is my first Post on XDA so please help me to familiarize myself with rules and procedures and I apologize if I break any in any way.
Okay, So My phone (SM-G900T) is about 5 months old. I bought it in August, Without insurance (Terrible Idea), and now it is having problems. In the amount of time I've had it, I rooted it in mid to late September and used only an app called Xmod for a game. I then started using greenify, solid explorer and eventually used Xposed installer to try a few Xposed modules. Specifically I used, the YouTube adaway, Rich Pandora notification and that's about it. I also later installed Samsung Tools to backup my IMEI and important partitions.
A few days ago my phone randomly rebooted in the middle of a YouTube video so I let it reboot, but it rebooted again, and again, and again. I pulled the battery and turned it back on but the same problem persisted. I couldn't do anything to fix it so I just decided to factory reset the device through the stock recovery. Also, I did not install any custom roms or anything either. The factory reset did nothing. Now when I was in setup, everything force closed, froze and rebooted, repeatedly. So I found the original firmware that my phone came with and flashed it to my phone through Odin because I literally had no hope of what to do anymore. The problem lessened so I didn't install all my apps and overload the device as it would reboot when the RAM would get pretty full or too many things were running simultaneously in the background or foreground. The problem got a little worse so I factory reset one more time and it lessened again but now it came back and factory Resetting isn't lessening the problem. Now it just force closes a bunch of stuff and freezes and reboots into a bootloop midway through initial setup. I am desperate at this point right now and I need help from you guys. I don't have warranty because I rooted and I made the Extremely stupid decision of not getting insurance. So please can anyone help me out? I will be eternally grateful if you can help me turn this $609 brick into a phone again.
I will try to check this thread daily, but I go to school and I may not respond immediately, so please understand.

Do you have SD card installed? If you do try taking it out and leave out or replace with another SdCard. Then flash the original stock firmware as you said you did before through (odin!) Then if that dont work try kias3 and use the emergency firmware recovery tool. Before you do any of this make sure you factory reset through stock recovery if possible.

Okay, so I'm resetting it back to stock firmware through Odin as we speak. And yes, I had an SD card and have already taken it out and left it out and reset but still the problem has persisted, I will definitely try the solution you just mentioned, here I go. And thank you for replying...
Edit:
Hold on, which do you want me to try first? kias3(can you please link it if possible) with emergency firmware recovery tool? OR the Unified Android Toolkit?
Also... I don't exactly know how to use the toolkit, can you verify the steps to take to use the toolkit properly if I should use this solution? I'm sorry but I'm not very advanced at Android development, just intermediately experienced I suppose...

okay, I tried resetting it using Kies3 but the device was not recognized so I had to find a different way because the guide on how to use Kies advised using Odin if Kies didn't recognize your phone. I don't have a code either, So I tried reflashing the stock firmware through Odin and it started up, froze and went into what I presume to be a bootloop as it is stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen with the notification light pulsing continuously. Did I also mention where my phone says Knox warranty void 0x1 there is another statement that says "Counter: 4" or something like that, while I am in download mode, does this have any significance? but yeah, other that Kies and Odin, I'm not sure if the android toolkit will help, because it's basically doing that same thing as I am with Odin, just more automated... Or am I wrong?
but as far as I know, that toolkit is literally the last option I have left, I guess I'll be trying that out tomorrow, with option 10 I believe where it says "10. Download, Extract + Flash Stock Firmware via Odin" but I'm not sure what ADB mode means... I can't really boot up the device so I don't know if that applies
Also, on a side note, how much do you think this will cost if I were to send the phone to Samsung and pay for repairs out of pocket, and do you think they could even repair it at all?
You know what... Do you think if I somehow installed CM12 on the device that the problem would fix itself? Because to me it seems like it's the Samsung software itself that is causing all this trouble along with a few Google apps. Now how would I root it and flash CM12 if it won't boot up fully...
Not sure if this would brick my phone either, let me know if it would if I tried to root through Odin and try to install CM12 through CWM recovery or something
Just throwing ideas, hoping this thread doesn't die before my problem is solved
Also, does geeksquad repair Samsung phones one time for a low fee if you've voided warranty?? If so then this could possibly be my final solution.
Also Never EVER buying a Samsung device again, they just aren't what they used to be back in the day, the other OEMs have caught up and left Samsung and their revenue in the dust...

I disagree with this completely. Very few other handsets can hold a candle to the S5 or the Note 4. I don't know of anybody that has the problems you are describing with their phones without a hardware issue of some type or bad app. The Samsung software runs perfectly on millions of devices without the issues you're having. Therefore it's probably a bad app you've gotten a hold of, or you have a bad phone. CM12 will only introduce more issues and probably won't solve anything.
A stripped down custom rom might be a good bet because you can then start adding your apps back to find out where the issue is, or if it still has the same issues then it almost guarantees that there is some kind of a hardware issue.

Help Verizon Ellipsis 7 (quanta qmv7a) brick

Of anybody could help me that would be absolutely fantastic. I was half asleep in a thread on trying to get a custom recovery for my Verizon Ellipsis 7 (quanta qmv7a) and I found a recovery.img and it was noted that it was a test. I'm just curious of anyone knows how to fix my brick because the recovery won't load and I'm now stuck in a boot loop, the "welcome" screen comes up and goes away and comes up again repeatedly. Is there a way I can adb flash this tablets stock recovery? I still have the original recovery.img I just need to figure out how to flash it when its boot looped due to a wrong recovery.img flash. Help is greatest appriciated! Thank you!

-The complete lack of responses could mean that we're screwed... (or we've asked a dumb question).Today, I too was a little too eager with the Enter button without triple-checking if the version of the recovery would be compatible with my current ROM -- it obviously wasn't -- Ellipsis_boot_patched_140902-025705.img over the top of 4.4.2 -- should have done more homework
Google's bots have hit this thread -- I hope we can help others who find this thread in our predicament and give solutions -- not just be a dead-end as it is now.
It's only been 4 hours since I've been working on it... it had an unlocked bootloader so there is hope.
I can tell what _doesn't_ work straight away:
1. Pulling the battery cable -- the back cover comes off easy -- insert a credit card starting at the SIM/SD slots and work your way around the cover and then gently pull the battery harness from the battery terminal assembly -- At least I don't have to see WELCOME taunting me by flashing every few minutes.
2. Combinations of button pressing -- I tried all the dead-Andi tricks...
3. Adb and RSD-lite aren't being acknowledged.
For just a few seconds before re-cycling -- Windows DOES recognize the phone (via USB) -- enough time to (indirectly) put a batch file in the bootloader?
-- or the answer could come from a combination of all the above.
After months of tweaking, I had just gotten the 16G SD card to be stable and (fairly) transparent as the main-APP drive -- Thanks mostly in part to Vicky's recent overhauling of her app: Apps2D -- I don't want to abandon all those hours without giving it one last concerted effort.
I am also willing to give playing with the physical ROM a try (-- I pray it's not embedded in the Soc). I remembered all the fun I had with JTAGs all those years ago when I was messing with DSS systems.
The tablet was a grateful gift to me but would not be one I would have ever purchased... The Ellipsis 7 was one of the first "cheap" tablets on the market... it shows. I would never use it professionally -- but wouldn't hesitate to use it as a backup or taken out camping...
I'm giving this a 30% chance of success.... well, i'm in the market for a new tablet... maybe one of those new Win8/Marshmallow dual-booters made-in-China?
You say you have the original recovery.img could you send me that please?

Haaaalp! Another victim of the OTA update screwing my phone after debloat...possible to recover some files via recovery or download mode?

Hello all...hoping to get some assistance with this thing. Long story short, debloated it due to horrid battery life and high heat. Everything was great until about a week ago when my settings app go renamed somehow. Tried fixing it but couldn't find the com.android.settings file with the correct signature for my phone (AT&T, US Model, unlocked, not rooted).
It's been working fine except no settings...so I backed up the usual stuff and had plans to do a factory reset this weekend. A few hours ago I picked it up and it went all wonky on me. Upon boot, it comes up to the lock screen and then the screen just starts turning on/off. I'm unable to bring up the passcode screen...but, am able to bring up the power menu by holding the power button. But, can't power down or get into safe mode that way. After about 5 seconds of doing this, it reboots. Rinse and repeat. Safe mode via buttons starts, but, does the same thing.
I am able to get into both recovery mode and download mode though. I can view logs/etc.
Normally, I'd just ***** and moan, then do the factory reset, However, I made one huge oversight when I backed up my data earlier this week and forgot to backup my notes. There's about a dozen of them, pages and pages long with all the medical details regarding my sons illness that I've been tracking for years. It's a nightmare dealing with different Dr's all the time so I've logged it all on the phone. Unfortunately, the best app I've found for it doesn't do cloud storage and keeps them saved as local txt files on the device.
Is there any hope I can somehow pull the files using recovery/download mode or utilize the logs to determine the errors and fix it enough to be able to get them? I'm fairly tech savvy and have ADB installed. I'm super ADD though and my head is just spinning trying to sort through all the possible posts regarding trying to do this...many being for older phones.
Absolute worst case, is there a legitimate service that would be able to do it?
Any help recovering my son's medical notes would be really really appreciated.

Yeah...that's the first thing I tried after safe mode failed. :\
There's quite a few folks reporting similar issues since the last OTA update a couple weeks ago.
Usually I delay until I get a chance to restore then allow it...this one didn't even give me a chance. I was using my phone when it popped up. No option to remind me later. When I tried to exit it counted down from 10, rebooted and installed.

I think that you can't trip Knox only when you flash official firmware over unlocked bootloader and custom ROM, but I'm not so sure.
Last time I did that is when I had Samsung Galaxy S2 and flashing official firmware over official firmware and that didn't trip the Knox counter
