Good Morning,
I am looking for someone to help me figure out what I have done to my phone. I recently purchase a ZU GPE and it worked fine. It did not want to update to Lollipop. I start doing research on how up update the phone after receiving no help from Sony or from Google. I would get the notification it was ready for an update however, every time I tried to update the phone, I would get an error message and the phone would restart. After doing the research here, I decided I needed to flash the new firmware on the phone. I unlocked the bootloader, and tried to flash 5.0 on the phone using flashtool. When the phone restarted, it gave me a new error "no command". I have tired to reboot the phone several times, flash the boot/fotakernel/system on the phone and none of them are working with the flashtool. I tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode and nothing happens.
If someone lives in the DC/Maryland/Virginia areas have any experience with these type of phone I sure need your help and assistance.

Hi guys, I've had a look around for this, but I can only find the solution for bootloaders that are unlocked. I suspect my Ray WASN'T unlocked. I accepted the OTA 2.3.4 update, thinking it would be fine. But the phone now shows the exclamation mark. I can get into both the recovery and fastboot modes (green/blue LED).
None of the recovery solutions are working for me. Is there a way for me to fix this, or will the phone have to go to a Sony Ericsson shop.
The official PC software from SE won't restore it either.
it is wise to go to sony shop , they will fix it
Not sure if this will solve your problem, but it solved mine:
The problem was with the bootloader. So I tried FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick which brings a small firmware information to reset the bootloader.
The problem I was having was to be able to correctly connect the phone to the flash tool. My phone's USB connection was constantly going up and down. So I decided to uninstall all the tools and drivers and install them from scratch.
In short, here's what I did.
Installed Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe from sony ericcsson in order to get the USB drivers to work.
Followed the instructions of the Update_Service and flashed the latest update available for my phone (2.3.4). This didn't solve the startup problem, just installed the latest update.
I ran the Update_Service again and restarted the process has if I was going to flash again, but after the Update_Service detected the phone I canceled the installation. (I did this just to make sure the phone was connected in FlashBoot)
Then I installed FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe, opened the folder of the application and ran X10FlashTool.exe
Hit Flash button and the program opens a Firmware Selection window with a preloaded firmware with two reseting contents (loader.sin, preset.ta). Hit OK button and waited until the program indicated the flash process was finished. The process of flashing takes a few minutes and we need to be patient. It might even seem like it's doing nothing but we just have to wait.
After finishing the flash process the program invited me to disconnect the phone and turn it on. I did so and the phone took probably a minute or so to startup. At first I thought it didn't solve the problem, because it was taking so long to start, but it did solve! So I waited patiently and the Sony Ericsson logo showed up giving me a new hope. After that I had to wait another 4 or 5 minutes for the phone to finish applying the new firmware mentioned in point 2. (There's no visual information of the conclusion process so you might wonder the phone might have hung.) Just waited and everything got back to normal with the benefits of the new firmware 2.3.4 (instead of the previous 2.3.3).
I hope it helps someone having the same issue.

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if ever I'm posting this on the wrong section cause I'm not sure if this is a problem from android or samsung.
I'm not good at all when it comes to phone troubleshooting so I will try my luck and ask questions about what have happened to my phone just awhile ago. I got this phone from Japan(Samsung Galaxy SII Wimax isw11sc) months ago and I only use it for multimedia purposes as it is region locked and I am at another country atm. everything is running fine until my phone asked for a software update(not really sure what upgrade that was) and I decided to give it a shot and let it download the updates. I left it to do some chores and when I came back to check on it, it reboot looped itself on the AU(mobile phone company from japan) logo.
I did some research and found some things like hard reset and download mode. I tried to do the hard reset(power/home/volume up) method but I can't seem to access the settings instead, the phone keeps on showing me this "Preparing for S/W update. Please wait." after a few seconds, the phone will reset itself back to the reboot loop.
I tried to do the download mode using odin mode but then, I realized that my phone and computer won' connect via USB port because well, my phone won't boot. Also downloaded the manual driver but my pc won't recognize it.(win7 if that helps.)
Please tell me what have happened and what I can do to fix this problem, I don't really care if i lose everything that I have stored on my phone, I just want it to work again. Help will be much appreciated, Thank you.
I'm pretty much ****ed with my phone.
First thing is, i can't update my phone, within the option menu, automatic update or manual one with dload folder doesnt work, The software upgrade mode never shows up, i have instead a very nice bootloop, i have to play with the VOL+ VOL- and POWER button untill i can finnaly boot.
Because of that, i'm stuck with Emui B130.
Wouldnt be that bad, if only my phone worked. But i can't take phone calls, nor send texts (or rarely can, almost only at my home, and if i'm lucky) When i travel i instantly doesnt have network anymore at all.
The phone detects my Sim Card, and i have some network, but i almost can't use it at all.
I tried to patch via fastboot the B100, B121 and B130 versions. All 3 have the update issue (S/W never shows up) and the network one PLUS the B121 version doesnt even allow me to insert my pin code.
So at this point i have a phone stucked in B130, which cant be updated, and i can't use it.
I tried to patch stock recovery, remove root, reinstall root, change the versions, i still can't access the S/W mode meaning i can't update the phone at all.
I just don't know what to do anymore, i've tried everything. I'm stucked.
Thanks in advance for eventual help.
Are you trying to update with root? You need to unroot first before you update. I haven't experimented with my phone yet but on my previous Huawei I always had to unroot before updating via dload/OTA
I tried both root and unroot, this doesn't change anything. :/
What happens when you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER on an honor 7?
Culdnt this be an Imei issue ?
Gosh This is so stupid, nothing works fine.
Now my phone just bootloops. I tried to flash with fastboot system.img and boot.img from B130, B100 and B121, and i can't make my phone to work, it just bootloops.
I thought i found the issue, i tried to flash the modem.img from my firmware, but couldnt manage to do it, and now i can't even make my phone to work. I'm so tired already of this phone. Everything was so simple with the Note 3.
Edit: And now i can't even try to flash some stock roms as i have a " Cannot load 'System.img' message.
I've done this more than 20 times and now for absolutely no reason, i have this.
I'm about to give up this phone. This is just madness. I just don't know what to do anymore.
I'd realy appreciate help of any kind.
Hello all, got a bit of a strange issue here. So I was using the 30b release from runningnak3d, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/h901-t-mobile-nougat-v30b-twrp-t3639203
I was selling my v10, so I did a reset, skipped or hit next to everything, and verified that all was working. I sold the phone and a couple days after the buyer got it, he told me it was bootlooping. I asked what he did and of course the first time he said nothing, just turned it on. After more conversation, he said when he got it it booted and after a while told him an upgrade was available. He said he accepted the upgrade, and afterwards got the bootloop.
I got the phone back today to try to fix it and give it back to him. Here's what I have found. Definitely bootlooping, stops at T-Mobile logo and reboots. It does still have the unlocked bootloader, still shows the warning right at boot. TWRP is gone! I booted to recovery, answered Yes to those 2 questions, and it did a reset instead of loading TWRP.
I really have no idea what he did, whether is was an OTA update or maybe he tried to load something on his own.
So, is there any hope of getting this thing going again? So far I was able to boot it into download mode, but it won't respond to any fastboot commands. My computer detects it, but in computer management it says LGE USB modem or something like that. When I try to regular boot, the computer does detect the phone, but it doesn't get far enough along to issue ADB commands. I'm thinking it's a paperweight at this point, so I'm game to try whatever.
Hi all there!
Two weeks ago I connected my phone to my PC to download some pictures and Smart Switch told me that there's a software update available. In the past I updated the software of my old S7 this way many times and always it was ok so I decided to go ahead. The process started but it failed at 40% and phone was soft briked. Smart Switch told me that I need to do a emergency software recovery. Not having other choice I proceed with it but it also failed saying that there's error in the phone. Not knowing what to do I decided to flash the phone with Odin. Downloaded firmware from samfw.com loaded it in Odin putted the phone in download mode connnection was OK and pressed start. Process started but after short time also failed. When I tried to reboot it only showed the green screen saying that there were error while updating software. Not knowing what to do anymore tried several times emergency software recovery but always failed. After that I decided to bring it to a service center next day. On the next morning I decided to try emergency software recovery for last time before bringing it to the service and this time was successful. Now phone works ok but when I check for updates says that theres none but when connect it to PC Smart Switch says that there is update available. After all this bad experience I'm scared to use Smart Switch again. So the question is why the phone can't see the update and will it be possible to update the software with OTA again. If someone has similar experience please give me advice what to do.
Thanks in advance!
Moderators can delete this thread.
I thought that after all this that happened phone won't receive OTA updates but that's not the case. Probably there were some delay because it was available with Smart Switch but not via OTA. This morning I cheked for updates and there was update available and I installed it.
