Xolo Q800, unable to unbrick! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do not exactly know how a phone looks like when its 'Bricked' but I believe there is something very wrong with my Xolo Q800.
Just a week back, a couple of applications stopped working. I restarted and since then its been restarting if I open any application. The OS has freezed itself into the state it was at 2pm on Tuesday 9th December. All I can do is receive calls and sometimes even dial them. Once I restart it says one by one all the Google background processes stop working. At times while receiving calls, the dailer UI goes away, and then it restarts and freezes to Boot Animation, so I have to remove the battery and then start again.
I tried wiping it completely from TWRP recovery that is already installed. Didnt work. Tried formatting by going into the settings inside the OS - MIUI, that is installed. It will restart but would come back to same state as it was at 2pm Tuesday 9th.
I tried using the following links, followed the exact process to unbrick and install the real OS, still it would come back to the same state as it was on 2pm Tuesday 9th.
Not to mention I did use 'Run as Administrator' while using SP Tools.

Link 5 : https://docs.google.com/a/nid.edu/fi...Qk0/edit?pli=1
and a couple of more links, which I cant find now.
I'm really desperate now to make it work.
Really in need of help.
PS: I have tried multiple custom roms to flash, but nothing helped, nothing changed. I even tried installing CWM recovery http://xoloq800roms.blogspot.in/2013...k-rom-and.html
Nothing helped, nothing changed. Its still on that same state and would restart if I would try use applications.

[Q] vibrant not loading

hi. i was using my phone a while ago. but i got a framework error in my phone. i opened facebook and it force closes everytime. ive been getting a framework error for the past 2 days already. i decided to restart my phone in NORMAL. after that, i got stock on the MIUI loading page. i really dont know what to do. enlighten me please.
Its possible you could have flashed the ROM from a faulty link (have downloaded ROMS from other sites links and nearly ruined my phone cause it was missing something.) OR if your phone has been working in the past, then have you tried to repair permissions?
Was it something you may have triggered to cause it to say that? played with any settings? installed some root-only apps that didnt correspond well to your system?
Binary up to date?
Upon flashing a ROM again, have you allowed it that 10-15 min range to fully set up and boot up for your phone?
I would say just flash again. If you can, also wipe the data, cache, the whole 9.

[Q] Help. Phone acting weird

Hello all,
Since couple of days my phone is acting really weird. Here are the specs:
Brand: Huawei U8800 ideos X5
Rom : Aurora 4.1, update 20
Recovery: cwm
I was installing an app from the market and suddenly the phone restarts and every app starts to crash (Unfortunately...... has stopped) with the downloading app stuck at the notification at 80 % forever without progressing. The weird thing is I can't uninstall any app. I can uninstall, but after booting every app uninstalled appears as if it's not Uninstalled at all.
So I decide to do a factory reset using CWM. Cwm says reset is successful, so I restart the phone and see nothing has changed. It's as if no reset has been done and the crashing continues.
So I decide to go for Stock rom (Gingerbread). After following the official installation steps the phone says the installation is successfull and restarts automatically. When the phone boots up all I see is old Aurora Rom and the same old crash of apps(all apps crashes a_z).
This is so weird. I have never seen this before and have been googling since 2 days without any solution.
I request xda devs to help me on this.
Regards

When you're flashing back to stock have you tried to wipe every partition including your internal SD?
Also how soon does the crashing begin after you flash your ROM?, because if the crashing begins as soon you boot up, you may have a hardware issue and of course the only way to solve that would be to send your phone into warrenty if you can.
Hi tidaboy9
I can't actually flash any roms. If I do, it says the flash is successful, but after the restart nothing will change. Whatever I do in the phone, it will restore everything after reboot, apps, history , etc .
By wiping partition, do u mean flashing stock partition. That I did.
All I want to do is do a hard reset, wipe everything and start new, but I am unable to due to above mentioned reasons. And yes, the crash begins soon after the reboot.
Please tell me this not hardware related as it is not under warranty.
Thanks

Help needed with crashes after recovery.

Last night I tried putting Cyanogenmod on my i9300, its a european model that is not locked.
I first tried with the nightly build of CM 11. Flashing went well, but after boot the Phone seemed to crash/freeze after a few minutes. It stopped responding and only gave sound when using the system buttons. after a few presses that freezes too. I was thinking this might be a problem in the nightly build, so I went back in the recovery, cleared things up againa and this time I tried the latest image from the unofficial CM 12 that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-temasek-s-unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-t3086689
It seemed that most people have little problem with this version so I gave that one a try. It booted and gave me an error just before the launcher had to startup. but after a reset by taking out the battery, the Phone booted fine and it all went so smooth... but as soon as i got to the point of entering my google account, the Phone frose again. I retried, and again... at that time it was late at night, and the Phone needed to be used today. So I desided to go back in recovery, clean everything out, and put back my backup. Things looked fine... but sadly, at random times th Phone freezes again. its not my Phone but my wife's, she says it hangs using Facebook or chrome. I did not get the chance to look for a pattern yet, but I hope you guys might have an idea whats wrong.
For now I asked her not to use the internet, I'm not sure if wifi or mobile date will influence it, but it doesn't hurt to try.
I have to go to work untill 9pm tonight, and by the time I get home it will probably be 10 or later, so I have little time to work on it.
If anyone can give me a direction to go in or a possible sollution then I would appriciate it. i might have missed something when putting the backup back.
Any idea's?

I solved my issue by restoring Lollipop (v.39) with the tool from the wiko website and then performing the update again; the phone started again (at v.41) and I was able to download Marshmallow from the next system update.
Issue was probably caused by some configuration or application.
Still slowly downloading Marshmallow now, so cannot say anything about the next update, but I guess that will go well, since the phone is reset now.
Just to follow up: Marshmallow is working fine on my Wiko Fever, much better than Lollipop. Amazing update.
Instructions for others after having read some comments from other people experiencing issues with the upgrade:
- BACKUP all your data before upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmallow, as if you would buy a new phone; I luckily did, as I wanted to set the microSD from removable to internal
- remove the microSD and (after having a backup of all your data as per step above) format the card as FAT32 on your PC; better to have a clean MicroSD card for after the upgrade I think
- reboot the phone in recovery mode and do a: wipe cache+reset to factory settings
- once the phone is reset and started, proceed with upgrading to Marshmallow
- don't know if needed after the upgrade to do an additional wipe cache+factory settings reset, doesn't harm to do it though
- be unhappy for the hours lost in restoring the phone data + apps + reconfigure everything
- be happy of the improved phone software
Questions upon questions.
So, i got the notification for the update last week, and i saved it until today to install it. The file downloaded was just 7 mb, i had enough battery for the intallation of the update (30% recomended by the software), something got messed up and an error message with the dead android character appeared. I know i lost all my things contacts and sd card... tried to hard reset the damn thing and nothing. I already googled the problem and i found nothing similar to what i get, i'm stuck in the recovery screen and the phone doenst shut down, every time i force it, it just boots back up after 15 30 seconds. I got to be honest i tought it was just another update but aparently its a "new" operating androind system. They could have told me with a update log or something...

P780 keeps "unfortunately stopped working" even after factory reset

First I'd like to thank you all for this forum, it helped us very much.
A few weeks ago My P780 (with english KitKat, rooted by seller) started showing these error messages "calendar has stopped working" "acore has stopped working" "google services has stopped working" "(random app) has stopped working". Only pushing the reset button got rid of these messages. These crashes became more and more frequent and I decided to try and solve it. I watched many "how to" videos on youtube and I decided to clear cache in factory mode. It did not solve it. Than I saved all my important data, and did a factory reset. The loading screen was on for too long, and I thought it froze, so I pushed reset. This made my phone to have a boot loop.
My brother has the exact same phone, and he did a Jellybean upgrade a year ago, and it was successful. So I have my phone to him, to repair it. Just by curiosity he did a memory check on HIS P780, and when he stopped it, it almost made his phone brick. So we had 2 identical bricked P780s.
After so many tries, he disconnected the battery and managed to recover his phone, and it works perfectly again. The strange thing is, he can't repair my phone though using the same method, same software, same driver, same cable and trying many ROM versions. After installing ROM, my phone works perfectly, but when he installs google services, all those "unfortunately stopped" error messages return. We can't understand why these error messages appear, if the phone was reflashed so many times and we tried so many ROMs. Does anybody have a clue?

Can you be more specific? What firmware did you flashed? Most of them have GAPPS installed.
Did you flashed the firmware with SP Flash Tool?

Yes, we used SP Flash Tool.
We tried firmware/ROM: "s129" (factory) and "p780_s941_vibeui_v2.0_1512". Both without GAPPS, because our phones are CE (china), not ROW (rest of the world). CE firmware does not include GAPPS. Tomorrow we will try to install ROW firmware.

Ok. I understand now. Try to flash ROW and see what is going on.

We installed VIBEUI_2.0_1512_7.149_1_ST_P780_baralajbi, this version included GAPPS and it workes perfectly. Everything is way better than the factory ROM. Unfortunately after a few days of usage the same problem returned (android unfortunately stopped), but now I noticed something. My phone keeps overheating.
I remember now, this has happened before, with the factory ROM, my phone became hot all the time, but I thought it's because of the very hot summer temperature. Now I noticed, that even if I keep the phone in my pocket, wifi, data transfer, gps, and everything turned off, not many applications running in the background, and my phone is still quite hot. When I turn the screen on and start using some apps, after 10-15 minutes it crashes.
