Well I wish this was the case for you but it's not... If it was a PC it would be. But Android phones use like solid state chips called EMMC which stands for "Embedded Multi-Media Card" This chip is partitioned with the Phone's OS, Bootloader, Recovery, Internal Storage ((Where Your Documents Go)). And etc. So if you take that chip out and solder it to the other phone it would still be stuck in boot loop. You may need to consider Jtaging your device's flash memory if possible. Look up how to Jtag a hardbricked S3 and see what you can find. If that don't work than I don't know what to do to be honest. If this was helpful at all please hit the thanks button below. Wish you the best.
Here's a picture of the EMMC Chip for your device.

[Q] brick? modem n/a

hello everybody.
Here is the story, a friend of mine tried to install a custom rom on its brand new galaxy s3 and messed all things up. He came to me and we installed back an original rom, but we got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
for what I understand, he isn't able to make the modem work, and the camera maybe. He told me he have done "something" to the efs partition, so I thought he messed up that. But esf files are all there and it seems the phone still have a valid imei (353*********151).
We were unable to recover it so we restored everything, resetted the counter, and bring it to assistance for warranty. They told us that there is a crack in the main board and they have to change it
They also said that there is a problem with the screen and it has to be changed. But it seems fine to us!
They also told us that those operations are not covered by warranty, and we have to pay 270 euros!!
Now we are looking for an alternative solution. It sound strange to me that is a hardware problem, because it happened when my friend started to play with the OS. Any suggestion? anything we can try before changing the mainboard?
any help will be appreciated!!
this is factory mode, use search

[Q] Lumia 800 freezes on Orange startup screen after failed update

Hi,
I'm really hoping somebody can help me.
I connected to Zune and went through the standard update instructions but the phone froze at "step 9 of 9" - I think this was during a reboot.
It just hung on the network provider screen (Orange UK).
Now, it won't go past that at all.
Orange support will provide a replacement but that won't help since I would like to retrieve my media.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
So, I did some digging and found this page:
"support.microsoft. com /kb/2484484#StuckAtSplashScreen"
Followed the instructions and got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I really hope it's not completely irretrievable!
Tried this too but to no avail...
"windowsdiscussions. com/restoration-error-c101002e-nokia-windows-phone-3445.html"
So, in the end, I managed to flash the phone using:
"youtube. com/watch?v=puTMCG_CiMk"
However, my problem now is, it's written over all of my old media files. I used to be able to undelete files from old PC hard drives however, not sure on how to do it with a phone - any ideas?
Thanks and appreciated!
Come on guys! What does it take to get some Noobie help?!
I've done a lot on my own but could do with some real technical know-how...
Unfortunately I can't help with this, however my sister has just emailed me to say her Lumia 800 ran flat and now won't boot past the Orange logo either.
She had updated to 7.8 a few days ago. Possibly connected...

I too have the same problem. Unfortunately, most likely, it's a hardware defect. I got my phone replaced. The replaced phone too showed the same problem after 2 months. I'm now waiting for my next replacement phone. I probably won't buy samsung phones again
What was the process to replace the phone n how much did it cost u...?
I have the same problem, I read a system format might fix it but the finger print sensor is garbage anyway

I had purchased my phone via my carrier (at&t). Since this happened within the 1st year of purchase (1 year warranty) they replaced it for free. They did however run lot of tests on the phone to make sure I didn't intentionally damage it. You can contact samsung in case you bought the phone online or other ways. I'm not sure how good samsung's service is in matters like this.

I hope that link works. I found that while browsing for HP roms. There's plenty of info. Hope it helps.
I don't have a HP tablet, but I have a nvidia shield, and I thought I bricked it so I feel your pain.

Need Root for Dragontouch Y88X Pro...

Hello everyone...
... I bought this tablet at Amazon quite cheaply some time ago. I wanted to use this with the DJI Fly app. That works wonderfully too. Only sometimes it jerks. Now I need Root to overclock the tablet a bit. I have already tried the most common root programs, but they don't even begin to work. The most promising was Magisk. But unfortunately I get the error message "E: failed to unmount / mnt / external_sd". What is the problem?. Is there any possibility of rooting this tablet or are there tablets of the same construction? ... it would be nice if someone could help me ... Greetings.

Have a ton of these tablets at work because we buy amazon return pallets. Took a look at rooting one, and just using one in general.... If you still can, return it and just buy a name brand tablet like a samsung from fb marketplace/craigslist or eBay. You'll be way better off, both because the hardware is better and more community support. If you happen to be stuck with it, well, you don't root via recovery. You need to unlock the bootloader, find a way to get the boot.img, patch it with magisk manager then flash the patched boot with fastboot and then you're rooted.
If I can, quote this post to remind me and I'll give it a shot
