I can't connect to my phone when in fastboot mode

When my phone is in fastboot mode (blue LED) FlashTool log prints message "INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode" but this is all what I can get. Nothing else works in this mode. FlashTool wants me to set device into fastboot mode but it is in this mode at the moment.

Softbricked to download mode, unsure which versions are in my phone

I have a few specific questions at the bottom, but first, here's the long details:

I ran the custom ROM Hyperdrive RLS 16 (4.1.2) for years and loved it, but the past week I felt it was time to upgrade to a new ROM that was more up to date. I started to try out R3ARMED (4.4.2), did a full wipe in CWM and installed the zip files provided (the ROM and a d2att specific file).

Unfortunately, in my excitement I forgot to make sure that I had a 4.4 bootloader and modem, which seems to be rather essential for this particular ROM. The install failed and I thought I may have bricked the device, but I was able to update CWM and get back into recovery mode. This time, I got through the AROMA installer for the new ROM, but on reset I got stuck in a hard bootloop. It's pretty nasty--I can't use the key combination to reboot into recovery or download mode, and I only get as far as the opening "SAMSUNG" screen before the device blacks out. However, I can use a USB jig to force reboot into download mode--it's the only interface I can get with the phone at this point. ODIN recognizes the device, and when I use Heimdall and its drivers, I'm able to use those tools to interact with the phone. So I hope I'm not completely lost, but not being able to access CWM recovery mode definitely hurts.

Here's what I've tried so far to fix it:
- Without a USB jig, load recovery images onto a 16 GB SD card, insert into phone and power up (no successes, some images actually made it so the "SAMSUNG" screen no longer showed, others corrected this issue)
- Re-flash CWM with heimdall (failed)
- Used the Ultimate Android Toolkit to convert the CWM img into a tar that ODIN can flash, and tried to load it (failed)

I'm looking into trying to flash a full recovery onto the phone to see if that can fix it. But I have a few concerns:
1. I know that once my phone gets a 4.4 bootloader and modem, I can't go back to an earlier stock version.
2. I had an unsuccessful 4.1 -> 4.4 install attempt in the process of bricking updating my phone.
3. I have no idea if the install impacted the bootloader--so I don't know whether I can try a 4.3 stock flash or need to use some of the more recent phone dumps.

My first question is, as usual, what is the best route to take to recover this phone?
My second is, are there tools I can use for a phone in ODIN mode to check the version of the bootloader/modem, check on the integrity of the file system, etc. etc.?

I have a replacement phone on its way, but I view this as an excellent learning opportunity, and would love to hear some advice.

Can an Unrooted phone be rooted again?

Hi Friends,
Is it as easy as it sounds? Thanks in advance! :)

rooted my phone, used all those root prevlged apps...was working smoothly ..the all of a sudden..it started installing apps automatically, corrupted system apps like keyboard, live wallpaper picker etc.... it would even install apps into the system that even after formatting everything ..those stupid apps will install itself again and again...so ,,i uninstalled some of the suspected apps (randomly) through root browser...

can any 1 please pull me out f this mess..

Fed Up with my phone.....

Dear Friends,

I am actually very much fed up with my device. Since last one month, my phone is creating hell lot of trouble fro me.

The phone hangs, stops responding and almost all apps including launcher stops responding and gets non stop ANRs on my home screen.

I have initially cleared my cache, then did a factory reset then installed a fresh ROM but all in vein.

The phone works absolutely fine with new ROM for 2 days and then starts responding in the same manner thereafter.

I have tried using my phone without any memory card, full memory of phone formatted and minimum apps.

Please suggest some remedial measure.

Edge panel during phone call

So I downgraded form Lollipop to Kitkat on T-mobile Edge.
But i really liked the in-call swipes features of the edge panel in Lollipop. In kitkat, the edge panel buttons activate by touch, making my calls prone to accidental mutes and speaker activation.

Any way to circumvent this or port this feature from lollipop ?

Thanks

About to root my phone and I want to be sure I can go back to stock

Before rooting I need a few answers, please:
1. If anything goes wrong during the root, what can I do to recover everything? How do I go back to square one?
2. Once I'm rooted, my warranty is void, so I'd like to know what can I do to go back to an unrooted state where even if I come to the store, they won't see that I rooted previously, etc.

Phone being detected as CD Drive even if it is connected as Media device (MTP)

I am not able to access the Internal Storage and SD card content from PC because of this issue. Whenever I connect my device to the PC, the device is shown as CD Drive HTC Sync Manager. Several times I set 'Media device (MTP)' from 'USB computer connection'. But even after several attempts the PC is treating the device as CD drive only. I connected my device with other PC's also. But no use. Please anyone help me with this issue.

XT1032 running nightly CM 12.1 freezes during phone calls

Hello guys!

For a long time I've been a happy owner of Moto G 2014(xt1032).

Oh how happy I was when it got Lollipop! Soon flashed it with cyanogenmod, my favourite ROM, and since then running on nightly, upgrading every week or so.

Unfortunately, lately an issue started to occur. During phone calls (and phone calls only) moto g freezes and soft-reboots, that is it does not go through a full reboot process, but just the final part(the one with cyan smile). It does not take long, ~20-30 seconds, however the call is disturbed, which is really annoying not only for me but also for the person I was talking with. After getting back to the usable state, a bug-reporting notification appears. I've tried reporting this for a long time now, but without any luck.

What I've done to try fix the issue is:
- rebooting the phone
- complete wipe
- reflashing all firmware possible

Some info about the phone:

model: xt1032
radio: MSM8626BP_1032.390.81.01P
kernel: stock from cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly
bootloader: 41.18
recovery: TWRP

I'm feeling helpless here, this is really driving me crazy! Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Oh, forgot to mention - I live in EU

same phone same connection but why one gives more 3G+ / H+

i have 2 note 3 4g with the same carrier. both has 4G connection but if i set both to 3G/2G only. one of the note will gives 3G+ or H+ more than the other one.. the other one only 3G and H seldom ( rare ) to see it coming out. can i know why?

Damaged EFS, no backup - is it possible to flash from another phone (damaged)?

Hi,

I have a problem with my S5. After flashing a custom ROM I found out that my IMEI is null, and so the EFS is corrupted. I tried to restore it from backup only to find out that I have deleted the backup :eek:

What can I do now? I anything? Would restoring EFS from another S5 (with damaged mainboard) could be a solution?
Generally everything works except of phone modem, I have got IMEI written - is there maybe a method to set the IMEI without EFS or a method to create EFS? I already tried sam IMEI changers, but I found out that they only do this on the application level - apps will be able to read different IMEI for licensing, but phone still sees NULL IMEI.

Windows Phone 8/8.1 on Moto G?

Is there a rom or something... I heard that there was inports Windows phone OS for Android devices with certain CPU and the Moto G has it. So I am wondering if there is a Windows Phone 8/8.1 rom for Moto G (preferred model: XT1028)? Because I would like to try Windows phone OS out without buying a Windows phone.

Soft Bricked phone! Help.

My Device: g900A - Rooted -4.4.2 Xtreme Dynamic Kat 1.1 - safestrap 3.75 - Based on G900FZHU1ANI2 firmware

My goal was to run [ROM] [5.0] [OC7] TMS5 3.0

I followed the Instructions at [ROM] [5.0] [OC7] TMS5 3.0 Page http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...29-15-t3095987 which first told me to use muniz_ri's method to get rooted lolypop. - [How-To] Update to G900A_OF3 - 5.0 and KeepRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...proot-t3149146 I did the Flashfire method and everything seemed to work fine until I got to the part where I needed to use Odin. I flashed the G900A_OA1_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot.
and got SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot

So currently my phone is soft bricked. I Am not able to enter recovery, I am only able to get into the downloader.
In the notes in muniz_ri's process there is information about unbricking which tells me to flash the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA/AP slot
I got an error when i tried to flash G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT
I tried adding a seperate pit file with a firmware that has ap, cp, csc SM-G900A 4.4.2 G900AUCU1ANCE Firmware
Still the same error SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT

At this point Ive done a lot of research and I am at a lost at why Odin keeps failing. Ive tried updating my usb android drivers, different usb slots and tried a different cable. not sure what to do next.

[BUG] Phone and Laptop on same wifi. Still says remote connection mode.

I have tried everything I could. Even turned off my firewall and accepted all incoming connections but nothing. The app refuses to acknowledge that it is on the same wifi and it always defaults to remote connection mode.
I have:
- An LG nexus 4, android 5.1
- Asus U576E running ubuntu. I'm using web.airdoid.com to connect

Please help!

Phone bricked ?

Hi guys,
Today I tried to flash a stock rom but my phone won't boot in recovery,
After several trys, I runned the command Fastboot oem device-info and it says that my bootloader was locked,
Or I unlocked it as soon as I received my OPT and since one hour it won't stop rebooting in bootloader (after lunching the command fastbood oem unlock, it says "OKAY")
What do you guys think I can do ? Should I just pack it and send it to OnePlus ? Or there is a way to fix this problem ? All I can do is access to the Fastboot Mode but my Bootloader seems locked... :'(
Thanks for you help !
