I still have not been able to get this resolved. I have contacted Archos but as usual they are really poor at customer services and no response yet - even to the Facebook message
I will update if I get anything

[Q] white screen htc diamond 2 t5388i clon chinese [help me]

Good
Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.
Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.

P.S.Please remember, flashing your phone with a wrong ROM is the safest way to brick (damage) it. So do not do it if it isn’t really necessary!

[Q] Bricked my phone?

So I had previously rooted my SGSII, and decided to try installing CM7 on it. I used CWM Recovery and ran it off the SD card, and everything appeared to work fine. I think I had a bad/not fully functioning CWM or something, as it didn't list an option to backup anything (I'm guessing because I flashed the stock kernel after rooting?) Anyway, it will no longer boot. I can access download mode, but Odin fails everytime I try to flash anything back on there. When I try to boot my phone, I just get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
EDIT: I just tried again as I was writing this, after rebooting, reinstalling my drivers and rebooting my computer. I was able to get the Firmware to flash properly in Odin. Now I have my phone booting and getting stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 splash screen... Doesn't seem to go any further than that though, unfortunately.
Any ideas what I can do? Is it possible that I need re-flash a bootloader or something ??
Any help would be supremely appreciated!
So I was just trying to re-install the Kernel, using the CF unsecured kernel, and it failed, but when I try to go into recovery mode, it looks as though it managed to install CWM Recovery. I have no idea what to do from here, and am sort of afraid to do anything for fear or bricking the phone completely...
I'm hoping someone out there knows how to fix this, I feel like such a tool
As long as you can get into download-mode, your phone isn't bricked.
If you switch from or to a TouchWiz-based ROM, you have to do a full-wipe in the recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Go back to stock first via download mode via odin
Nah you're good. Similar thing happened to me at my first flashing attempt. Get your stock firmware from Intratech's thread, put the phone into download mode & flash the firmware via Odin.
Then maybe have another go at rooting the phone with the matching CFRoot kernel.

yes, if you can still go in download mode it's no so difficult..this "small brick" it's on of "Android things to do" once in your SGS2 life
Hi guys. I'm in a worst situation. As my phone after a failed ODIN downgrade from Android 2.3.6 to one stock kernel is completelly dead - it doesn't boot anymore - not even managed to put it back into download mode or revert to fact defaults (no keys, no lights not even battery charging displayed when pluged in) - tryed the USB jig also. Nothing worked.
The question is: Will Samsung manage to repair and how much will it cost - an average ammount offcourse. Because I guess it's out of the question to be considered a warranty issue. I guess it will be visible somebody have done smth to the ROM by a software approach....
This is the short story because I would bore you to discuss all the things I have been through - it was only my faoult out of stupidity
HELP!
I don't see why Samsung wouldn't fix it ? As to how much they'll charge you, I think you'll find that will vary from country to country (labour costs being variable, etc). No, I don't think you'll be able to have it repaired under warranty.
You might want to look at having it JTAG repaired by someone other than Samsung. This will possibly be cheaper than having Samsung repair it. Do a search on here/Google.

Thank you very much. I have searched alot to actually understand - unfortunatelly for me it will cost... I saw on youtube a JTAG in action right now (cannot post the link yet). I understand now it is the only way. I'll keep you posted guys. Tomorrow I'll go to service.
I'm sorry it's going to cost Alex. A difficult thing to happen, I know
Here's a link for a JTAG repairer in the US who is also a member here, tho I see you've already found one. I'm sure doing it this way will be cheaper/probably faster than having Samsung do the repair as well.

Thax. Funny thing is that this is exactly the thing I found - the same mobiletechvideos in US Now I allready have an ideea of how much should cost that. Hopefully I'll find a local GSM repair shop with the posibilitty to unbrick it cheep - or at least not much than 50USD - in local currency ofcource.
I'm still thinking if it is possible to use an ATMEL copy process - like in the old times for EEPROMS - I have done that in the past. In theory it might work but I will never do it - alredy scared about what happened to my beloved droid.
Thx again Mistah and have a gr8 day and a wonderfull new 2012!
Yeah I've seen a report or two on here from people who have used his service & have been happy. Must admit I found his page when thought I'd bricked my phone after my first flash attempt messed up. Yeah you might be able to get it done cheaper somewhere local, and that will mean less time without the phone for you without the phone in mail from you to the US & back again.
Let us know how you get on, your experience will be a good guide for people in future who have the same problems as you.
No probs man, happy to give you the little help I did. You too Alex Hope you have a great year & you get your phone back & working soon

[Q] Pantech Pocket P9060 Help!

Rooted my Pantech Pocket with SuperOneClick so I could remove the bloatware. Happily used it for over a year. Decided to give it to a friend to use - so I did a factory reset. BIG MISTAKE. It can make calls out, it can send and receive texts, it has data (once I updated the APN) BUT all calls go to voicemail, the home button doesn't work (it works to put it in recovery mode but not anywhere else) the swipe notification bar at the top doesn't work and the contact book crashes. I spent the entire weekend looking for a fix. Can anyone direct me to a flashable kernel for this phone??

Any Solution to this yet? I tried e-mailing pantech in which I got a response in one day "WOW" however it was basically a blow off because I specifically asked for a firmware BIN/PDL file to restore it using a special download tool I found on another forum that works on the P9070 Burst, and it will work on the P9060 Pocket, recognizes it in Software/Download mode and even lists the currant baseband version as JRUS09262011, however they would not give me the ROM and only would only provide instructions on how to restore this piece of crap, so now nobody can call me!!!! SUCKS!!!!

Its actial called the P9070 Upload tool I found it on another site its warez s I cannot link it but google is your friend, if you can get a PDL. for the P9060 you can use the Upload tool to reflash your firmware its like an Odin type thing but for pantech....Trouble is no P9060 Firmware just a non flashable kernel, which is of no use, god I wish someone would dissect one of the Element or Burst Upgrade EXE's and rebuild them with The Pockets device ID and Firmware so it could be re-flashed old school htc style. Ths Forum used to be awesome for that type of stuff way back when.
UPDATE...Was issued a Service Ticket # and told to mail the phone in with my receipt,

Received the phone back from repair center, everything worked great accept for no recovery backup on the phone had to send back to have device re-flashed, simple user error but they do and and in fact can have the firmware to fix the phone.
need the help
yeah i know this is a old thread that i am bumping...but i cannot make my own threads and i am having the same issues as the op is.....sending it to pantech or ATT is not a option.....what i am thinking is i have either A} reflash the firmware if there is such a copy out there or B} i need to reinstall all the preloaded apps from before as not even the lock screen will come up and trying to put it into usb mode to swap files via usb cable is not working
Interested as well...
I just got a pantech pocket and everything is fine, but I want to make a proper backup just as basic due diligence.
If it literally cannot be done I'll be selling this phone before something breaks while it still has value.

Thanks for the file. It appears that this phone is quite popular globally. I would like to give it to my younger children to play games on. I however have a problem in which the phone continually boots into recovery. No matter what is done, it keeps rebooting into recovery. Can any of these files be made into an update.zip to flash from an SD card. Is there possibly another way to get the phone out of this brick?
Thanks

If you are looking for flashing back to stock S5, Google -> Sammobile -> Firmware -> Search for Galaxy S5.
Make sure you download the right version according to your device. You had it rooted so I assume you are not vendor locked. Download Mode, Odin, Flash and you should be good to go.
Or at least, that's what you are trying to do.
You're better off asking here.

Pendo Pad 7" PNDP51M7 firmware help.

Recently rooted my tablet using Kingoroot, succesfully rooted the device but like many others on the next reboot have gotten stuck in infinite boot screen.
Factory resets have not fixed it so I am trying to source the firmware for it so I can reflash it. Seems to be a rebranded Allwinner device.
Tablet details are:
Pendo Pad 7" PNDP51M7BLU (BLU is just the case colour.)
aka Allwinner PNDP51M7
Android Lollipop 5.1
boot screen gives the number A33_D71C_U712HB2C_PG.1508101.20150902 which is how I discovered it's an allwinner A33 device.
I have searched for firmware myself, but all the A33 firmware collections I have found so far do not seem to have this device listed
Any help in sourcing the correct software I need would be massively appreciated. I have contacted Pendo to see if they can help with the neccesary files, but am yet to hear back from them.
Thanks.
If it helps.
I have another of these tablets that I could possibly rip what is needed from if it is possible. Although I have read around some backups can only be used on the device they were made on.
Hey
I also have a pendopad 7 with 5.1 lollypop.
A33 quadcore 1gb ram and 1024 x 768 res i think.
I have a similar bootloop after kingroot.
My systemui.apk crashes and it just stays there forever.
Mine is black though .
PNDP51M7BLK
I have contacted pendopad and they say send it back and claim insurance .
I am in europe and cant afford to send it back
Just not worth it
Lol , I think we have similar problem here mate .
Okay , here is the update.
I have tried 50 plus firmwares for A33 and just got to one which is 4,4 and touchscreen is offsett by a big margin. Touch is not in sync. So the hunt continues. Is there a way where we can know what mainboard we have then perhaps may be can find one. I think its by inet so any a33 inet firmwares might be worth a try.

Thanks for replying, got the same reply from Pendo. Send it in, but no longer under warranty (rooting would of voided it anyway if it was) and even though I am in Australia where Pendo is located be faster and cheaper to buy another tablet.
I have been able to find this which lists all the hardware:
specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=d476-7462-0033-c5870033c587
Says the mainboard is EXDROID
And yeah I need to get Android 5 or higher on it as I use, or did use, this tablet to fly my quadcopter and its software is not compatible with anything lower.
Frustrating as the tablet itself is fine it's just the OS that seems buggered, thank you very much Kingoroot
While it sucks to have the issue it is good to see someone else have it and reply. Was beginning to think I'd find no help on this site. I have had no luck at all getting a fix, here's hoping you fare better.
I do have one possible solution Max, I do have here the same tablet, one that works. I could, if it is possible, dump the firmware from that? If you know how I will do it and give you a copy to use also.
This is how my recovery looks like with a hit and try firmware. Just the touch is offset and its on 4.4. Thought its exdroid
Can I have a look at ur recovery just in case.
You access it by pressing n holding volume down button and power it on.
:silly:
On phoenix pc suite ...
Irrelevant Info. Found better ROM.
Edited these posts as I have found a 5.1.1 rom that seems to be the perfect fit. looks and behaves like pendo's in every way minus the bloat.
It was a pain to get off the japanese site I found it on so uploading it atm and will link it here for easier downloading for you.
File is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2crtz..._Play_store-A33_D71C_U712HB2C_PG.20151120.rar
Enjoy
ok, seems to register the battery as low charge, and also shows the battery draining rapidly even though I believe it should have enough charge.
Wifi, touch screen, sound. All seem to be working ok. sounds a little quiet. Says there is an update but won't do it unless I can get my battery to register over 30% charged.....even if the tablets plugged into my pc or power point.
Really need to find if it is possible to do a rom dump on this other tablet I have without rooting it. I am worried about bricking it like I have this one if I do a root to dump it.
True say man true say.
We f*** it up first time when we tried to root and put twrp.
What we can do is
Experiment with root and twrp on the one thats already messed up and once we know everything that works , we put it on the factory one
Dump it and install one the other one (i.e the messed one )
I will give the rom you provided a try and provide feedback on that.
I was just going to dump this tab. But oh well i live in sweden now and all of a sudden I care a lot about environment :angel:
Cheers mate . miss the wierd aussie timings

I can confirm the roms works absolutely flawless. Everything works perfect. Camera is inverted but I can live with it
Now if we find one root and twrp method , all would be sorted for this tablet:good::good:
I am still amazed how you found out this rom. I have searched every possible website and forum but all in vain .. Kudoos to you man .
How to flash
Hi Guys,
what did you use to try and flash this tablet? I have it showing up as connected in the intel platform flash tool but cannot load the rom into that.
And ADB says no devices found.
Note my pad does nothing, no screens, all I get is the Intel USB flash thing show up in device manager when I plug it in to my pc.
Sirs might I offer you dragonfave firmware edit to modify firmware?
How to flash it
@max414 how did you flash the firmware in mate? I've tried update from SD card in recovery but get a error 5 seconds into the system update screen

Cheers mate. Pendo is in the bin, end up buying a Samsung galaxy tab a to mess around with. Not a big fan of all winner anymore lol
I am having the same boot looping issue on my girly purple pendo. I downloaded the rom that was further up the thread but being a noob at this I have no idea how to get the rom from my pc to the tablet so if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to do this it would be greatly appreciated
