Some problems with my Elephone. - Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers

Hello, so I changed my screen few weeks ago, and I started to notice that it won't work propelry, in menu or setting it's okay, but when I try to use apps, some of them wont work as it should. For example, i can't take photo in messenger, i can't send good game in Clash Royale. Screen seller sent my some files to update my phone, but I noticed that i can't get into recovery mode, only in factory mode, I tried to do factory reset, OTA update because mine is still 2016-06-08, but it won't update, I also tried flash those files without recovery mode(when you start downloading ant then turning off your phone), but it didn't work. Have any ideas, what it could be?

Did you replace the screen yourself or was it a kind of Elephone repair ? .. obviously changing a screen is a major kind of thing and (I would assume) it could cause issues if not done properly.
Have you tried to flash the 2016-06-08 Rom in Splash Tools (or a custom ROM) and checking to see if the issue still exists - Im sure if its your screen it would occur on whatever ROM you were using, as its a hardware fault. Thing is if its just a sioftware "glitch"... I would first flash TWRP in flashtools, then flash a ROM from within TWRP and check if the issue still persists.
Obvioulsy if the issue continues once youve tried this I guess your screen is faulty unfortunately
I would recommend using this TWRP version 3.0.2.8. here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092696060

Trying to recover a soft Bricked i9000

Hey
So this old i9000 phone came with some Horrible bloatware I wanted to get rid of.
I flashed a stock Rom with Odin, (I've done it many times before on a different i9000)and Wiped Data and Cache afterwards, And 3 different Roms give me this problem:
When the phone finally initializes, Everything keeps Stopping unexpectedly. I've tried to get to enabling ADB to maybe view the logcat but I can't even get to the settings.
I did notice in the recovery mod an error that said something about System/CSC/CEL/system not being accesible (And i'm surprised it's still there after 3 flashes, CEL being the CSC for the bloatware company)
What do I do?
Currently on Stock rom with stock recovery.
Edit:
Okay, I have managed to race through the crashes, Launch the Home app, and enable ADB... so we have that now... "ADB devices" Shows its connected.
Edit2:
They all crash with "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:" Right now Home screen is working but anything i try to run crashes
Edit3: It's like the old Gmail account is HARD CODED to it, What the hell? 3 rom flashes and countless factory reset, The account is still there, I cannot get rid of it.

Nokia reboot problem when trying to update

Hello!
I have a strange problem with my phone it wont update to latset firmware without get in some kind of boot loop.
The phone was runing the lastest firmware 1232.5962.1314.0017 before the problems started, it all started when some systems apps like camera, settnings, messeging. etc, stop working. All that showed up when entering the apps was a black screen say something like "reconnecting" and then it jumped back to home screen.
So I restarted the phone but then went in som kind of reboot loop where it wouldent go past the nokia logo. I tried everything soft reset, hard reset. The last thing I tried was to reflash the phone, I tried diffrent ROMs and it finaly worked with the ROM 059Q5C6 RM-821 GLOBAL BLACK SWAP.
The phone is runing now and almost all functions work exept camera and automatic brightness (all that I discoverd so far).
Its currently running the 1231.5951.1249.1004 firmware.
But like I said now when I try the update the phone it goes to the same boot loop state.
What should i try next?
Is the thread in the right place?

Same thing happens to my phone!! Did not think that it could be the latest firmware (1308 for me) could have caused it since I don't think there are a lot of us affected by it and my phone has been running fine for months after the update! I've restored 5 times, by the time I thought to flash it, it wouldn't charge anymore.... I'd sent mine for repair now... Have you fixed yours?

[Q] Setup problem with Galaxy S6 Edge G925F

Basically after a little play around with my phone I decided to root it using Chainfire, which went absolutely fine. My first problem arose when I tried to flash twrp recovery which led to some weird screen whenever I tried entering recovery. I wanted to factory reset my phone (So I did it through the settings) and now on the phone setup it just sits on the software update screen saying it's checking for updates. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Get odin and reflash your stock rom from sammobile! I did that and keept all my apps and files nothing was gone! Good luck

What could be wrong with this phone?(Freezing, restarting, doesn't detect carrier)

Ok hello i'm pretty new to this, but I have looked around quite a bit and nothing seems to help. So my friend gave me this Galaxy S6 edge(more specifically the SM-G925I - TCE Mexico (Telcel)). The issue with this phone is that it freezes then restarts randomly and it also doesn't recognize the carrier. It recognizes that theres a sim but the carrier is not recognized and I don't have access to mobile data. The bigger issue at the moment is the crashes though. I already tried resetting to factory defaults, booting in safe mode, wiping the cache and wiping all the data/ factory reset from the recovery menu. I thought it was the OS or something so I installed twrp wiped EVERYTHING(pretty sure I did since when I rebooted twrp told me if I was sure since I had no os installed) and installed the official 7.0 firmware update from sammobile. It was previously 6.0.1 and I thought having a different version might fix the issue. Yet the issue remains, within a few minutes of me using it it freezes, turns off, and reboots. At this stage I might you might think its a hardware issue but when i'm in recovery or download mode it doesn't turn off. Also I decided to leave it charging when I left for work and when I came back it hadn't turned off at all. I checked the uptime and it was at 7 hours and yet within a few minutes of me checking the settings it froze and turned off. I'm not really sure what to do anymore i'll probably take it to a service center to see whats up but I wanted your opinions first. Thanks.

Phone constantly rebooting

Hi all,
Last night my phone started to randomly reboot itself, even in Safe Mode! It's now to the point where I can't even login -- I enter my pin, the 'Phone is starting' overlay shows for a while, and then it suddenly reboots. I haven't installed a new app for at least 2 weeks at this point, and the reboot was happening before I updated my apps. After updating, things seemed to get worse maybe?
Is there any way I can salvage my phone or do I have to hard factory reset via hardware buttons?
Its called bootloop. you need to flash your phone to fix this problem and flashing can fix all the software issues of your device.
I was afraid of that... Just a bit worrying that it happened randomly when running stock.
Ok, thanks!
I had same issue when ran android 9 in 2019, however, I fix this issue by doing a clean flash. Yes, you will lose everything, so make sure you do a backup via google.

If you didn't add an app or update that caused it either the boot load got corrupted or it's a hardware issue. The flash memory should not spontaneously get corrupted unless it's defective ie a hardware issue. However anything is possible... quantum physics.
More than likely it was a poorly written app or update that caused it. 3rd party launchers and power management apps are prime suspects. It may take a week or more to manifest its self as a boot loop. Any signs of system lagging or instability should be taken seriously as they are the only warnings you may get before a boot loop*.
A virus or rootkit** is another prime candidate.
Do a factory reset now. Be wary of which apps you load and avoid any updates until the system is know to be stable. Then add apps and updates one at a time. Updates many times aren't really needed.
Over a year ago I had 2 back to back boot loops on my Note 10+... yes, and 2 factory resets and full reloads.
The prime suspects were as I mentioned above. Neither one was reloaded after the 3red factory reset. A year latter that 3rd reload is still running fast and stable. Fun times
**if your Android version is 9 or above a factory reset will purge any virus or rootkit as long as you don't inadvertently reintroduce it. Be careful what apps you load and what you download.
If the Android version is 8 or below, they are suspectable to a nasty rootkit that requires a firmware reflash to purge. Pie and above are not.
1. For me, it was also itself rebooting, only while phone were in pocket / case. So do not use any of them (searched on reddit forum, was exactly same topic)
2. Maybe sim ejection tool is not correct be inside, don't often open and close it
