[Q] Phone almost bricked | How to fix it? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, my phone is almost bricked but not totally bricked. Because I can still turn it on, and turn it off. No other method/function can be used or activated at all.
My Phone is Qmobile A500, and I was trying to Root it, I used MtkDroidTools and I gained root access, which was root shell; from another forum I came to know that the root access I gained was temporary, and was lost when I restarted my phone. So now I do have SuperSU app but no root access.
I have MobileUncle tools and the Recovery was changed to CWM. I tried installing a new ROM but it was aborted.
Now afterthis, each time I restart my phone, it keeps showing me tons of messages saying [application_name] has stopped, they don't even go away. File Manager is not working, music isn't opening.
Even if I connect my mobile to a PC is has stopped showing on now. Every file in the mobile is present in the mobile, it won't get deleted no matter even if I format my phone too; even from PC, I tried deleting the images I had a bit time earlier, but the images were still present in the phone storage after the reboot. The ROM I copy/pasted in the Phone storage is not present there.
What should I do now? Any help here?

[Q] [Fixed] MTK6589 - Flashtool readback killed BT/Wifi/GPS

Hello,
I've bought a new device - Evolveo StronPhone Q4, MTK6589 based phone. The stock ROM is basically vanilla Android 4.2.1. I've successfully rooted it using Framaroot.
Then I've created scatter file using MTK Droid Tools (all partitions that were formated were ext4).
Then I've decided to create a backup before I start playing with it, so I've tried backing up flash using SP Flash Tool (using Readback), it was running fine and downloaded approx. 20%, then crashed. I've tried that once or twice more times, always failed. Now after I plug it in, windows display "This device can perform faster" and FlashTool won't detect the device. If I connect it without battery with VolDn key pressed, FlashTool detects it and I get S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL.
However, the phone boots fine, just GPS/Wifi/BT is not working. (No GPS icon appers, and I get errors like BT_open: WMT turn on BT fail in dmesg). Looks like an issue with kernel/HW issue.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong and how to fix it?
In the meantime, I've asked manufacturer for a stock FW image, but I'm not sure it helps...
Update: Okay, I have no clue what just happened. However I've unrooted, reverted everything I've modified on the phone so far so I'll be able to return it to manufacturer as "deffective"... And just for the curiosity connected it to the computer and tried downloading ROM one more time. And it succeeded - I'll upload the ROM once I get access to faster internet connection. I've removed the battery (phone was stuck in Preloader mode because I cancelled ongoing RAM test.), put it back and now everything works.
So, it looks like everything is fine now, however I'd love to know what happened, if you have any clue, please let me know!

Unable to Flash Lenovo S939, all kind of processes stop

Hi all,
I tried for a few days and seek no solution, therefore I would like to ask if anyone have such situation and got a solution.
Model: Lenovo S939
It was with android 4.2.2 which is the stock rom until I successfully flash it to android 4.4.2 which is the official VIBEUI_V2.0_1507_7.9.1_ST_S939_WC36 about two months ago.
I think I accidently deleted some apps in the phone(I was trying to clear personal contents) and now the phone cannot turn on at all. I am able to connect the phone to my PC using USB and have the driver for it. So I can use SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1524.00.000. I have stock roms S939_S129_140217 and S939_S126_140109 in scatter form.
I flash one of them using the SP tool, but when I finish downloading and reboot, it go back to android vibe UI v2.0, and all sort of system processes stopped continuously, I cannot access the phone at all.
Then I reboot and boot into recovery ( CWM 5 for S939, get from Needroom). I have quite some customs roms saved in my Sd cards which I got from needroom.com:
VIBEUI_V2.0_1501_7.5.1_DEV_S939_WC19.ZIP
VIBEUI_V2.0_1507_7.9.1_ST_S939_WC36.zip
Material_ROM_V3.zip
Loli_Dark_S939_FASTCHIP.zip
I try to flash every one of them, all of them say successful, but when reboot, I boot back to vibe UI 2.0 and all systems processes stopped continuously. I tried to patiently click “OK” and try to access the system setting to enable to USB debugging, but no success.
Have any one got such experience and a solution of it? Spent too much time trying to figure out and appreciate any input.
Regards,
Lacer

it seems like something to do with the error 1041. I failed to test the nand flash
It seems like something to do with the error 1041. I failed to run a dedicated memory test in SP tool. Anyone have any though?

When rooting went south [Murphy's Law] Samsung s2 i9100

Hi everyone... this explanation may be long but I'll try to put my problem in context, please patience!
First, I have years of experience coding stand alone applications and programs but close to none in Android or web development experience... so ... been confident that I could do something as simple ("Yeh right!") as rooting, why should I backup anything from my phone? Big mistake...
My S2 was getting old, space was getting limited and at first I downloaded some cleaning apps (Clean Master) was good for a time but then I had to start uninstalling some of my favorite applications to keep the phone fully operational. After a while I had nothing else to install, as programmed obsolecense was getting my ass, so I decided to find out some ways to get some room in and I found External2Internal app to use my SD as InternalMem, it did the trick except that there still was the "not enough space" message and some apps still refused to install due to the lack of room. So, basically this only modified the reported space in the Storage section of settings.
How I did this? Well, installed KingRoot and then APK Uninstaller with root and External2Internal to finish the trick.
As the problems continued I decided to research more, found out that there was a "better" way, more 1337 way to ROOT and that was installing a Kernel/ROM that was rooted and that would even improve my OS. So I took a tutorial on youtube and Installed "Siyah-s2-v6.0b5" using ODIN and "I9100 XWLSN .NeatROM.Lite.v4.6.1" with Recovery Mode -> Install ZIP from SD. At the end the CMW kept saying that I needed a upgraded version of it and SU needed to be updated but it failed everytime.
After each attempt I wiped to factory settings, cache, battery and even some delvik...
Nothing worked, I downloaded a console simulator to be certain about the rooting and surprise! It wasn't rooted at all...
Then I downloaded CMW update... SU Update... Syrah update... then tried with 4.6 NeatRom Apollo Kernel....:crying:
Now... the phone won't start... it can go into download mode and recovery mode but after ... nothing... I doesn't show anything pass the Samsung Galaxy S ii start screen with the admiration sign < ! > with the triangle.
I Factory reset, wiped everything and still nothing... doesn't start properly.
PLEASE HELP!!!
[bump] please help!

Help, I deleted the stock browser on my Phone!

Hei Guys, Good Evening,
Just had a quick question. I recently got a brand new fake "Samsung S8+", it runs on an Mt6580 processor, and android 6.0.1, kernel vs. 3.10.0. I rooted it as soon as it came, with King root no problem. However, once I had root access I went ahead, and deleted the stock browser which I assumed would just trace all my logins and stuff online. This created a myriad of problems: I now get the "Unfortunately X has stopped working" notification for every single app I try to open that needs Internet access. Rendering the Phone close to useless. If anyone has the same phone, could you please upload the apk of the stock browser for me, so I can get my Phone back? Or supply an alternate solution.
Things I've Tried:
1. Turning it on and Off (didn't work)
2. System Restore/Wiping Cash (didn't work)
3. Putting in custom boot loader and installing custom rom (No custom boot loaders work, and 'easy magic twrp' does not recognize my phone as mediatek device)
4. Installing Custom rom using ADB (doesn't work, cant pinpoint the reason)
I have searched the entire Internet, and also tried to make other browsers my stock browsers, nothing works.
Really appreciate your Help,
Jan

Baseband unknown, phone waS rooted but previously crashed

Ive had this i605 since a few months after it came out, brand new. rooted it within 5 min as i got home. only issue i've had with it was the power button and usb port didn't work but i replaced those.
2 nights ago, running cm13 last official version. was just on facebook and i got the boot logo. it's happened before so i didnt think anything of it. except this time, it was boot looping the first logo. ok, something happened to OS, so i went into recovery, erased all but external SD card and installed slimkat, this time it would get to the slimkat logo about 2% and reboot. fine.. back to stock and reroot. INstalled MC3 stock. when it came back up and it did, it hangs on verizon activation until wifi only.. great. go to status, baseband unknown. no radio, bluetooth and wifi still work, but doesn't detect simcard. this phone is my only internet connection as i tether. trying to root with casual and now, even though i can go in download mode and usb is found and i can flash with odin stock rom all day, once i get to android home screen, my computer is not seeing the USB file system, mtp, but it is charging. anyone had this happen before?
this phone has never had an OTA update, was on 4.1.2 when i got it
Update: Loaded back fresh MC3 stock build to start over again, saw a post somewhere about accessing hidden menu,
Go to Phone Dialer and type *#22745927
Enable Hidden Menu
Go to Phone Dialer and type *#7284#
Set USB to PDA, save and exit, rebooted back into android and was able to get USB access for CASUAL to root. FInally got it rooted, in TWRP newest version
Funny thing when it booted back into android before CASUAL root, it showed SDCrd and Internel memory. SDCArd was fine, but internal memory was -1636237227 so i'm thinking that memory is a problem, because when i reloaded stock mc3, it would never boot up after odin, i had to go into recovery and do a factory reset and then it would boot into Android, but no USB access, could get USB access in download mode, but not in recovery or android. I just found it weird.
Now, when i load my custom rom, it just hangs at the ROMs loading screen and just stays there. I'm really thinking this is a memory problem and i'm really upset about it. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to just reset the memory, without messing with EFS.
