ok...I'm really new to all this so please show a little patience towards me!
I was trying to load the XDA-developers-SER-v12 on my phone and just when it started with the progress bar moving at the top of the PPC screen, when it said "Do not Remove Device..." I accidently lifted the phone out of the cradle as dumb as I am...! After that I tried to hard start it by shoving a pin on the hole in the right side under the battery icon with the cross (hard-reset) and got the Bootloader 5.17 screen with the three colors and GSM (OK) there when I pressed the soft-reset and power buttons simultaneously.
But since I was the idiot and could not understand what was going on, as I was not in this forum nor even behind a computer, I reset it again and again a couple of more times. Now present situation; I have the same "Do not Remove..." screen everytime I do a hard or soft reset even if I keep the power on/off button pressed alongwith pressing the hot or cold boot buttons on the left and right corners respectively. In fact the screen has gotten badly distorted but the same "Do not Remove..." comes up in the totally distorted state on the screen and the Bootloader or the colors, nothing comes up anymore.
When I try to put the phone on the charger, the light goes orange just as if it is charging, in fact, after an hour or so, just as it normally would in the correct phone state, it turns green.
Is my phone toast or can I still do something about it?

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that if there is a complication with the software when loading, one should try using the sd method of rom flashign. Cook or dl a rom, use XDA tools to load it to an SD, put the SD into the device, and then use the bootloader to load off of SD. Other than that, I know little to nothing.
Good luck!

Re: Dead SX-56
You guys are good and quick....but!!! As I mentioned, I can't even see the Bootloader even after a reset and power button combo...nothing comes up or happens...the screen just blinks and then goes blank...should I open it up and disconnect the battery or something...? Right now I am just seeing the screen saying "Do not Remove...." and that even in a totally distorted form....
Try pushing a pin in the hard reset, push once only, leave it overnight, I think that is good as removing battery as it disconnects the connection between battery and mainboard as fas as I know. Next morning push once with oin again, you never know your luck. Its weird that the bootloader should be affected however the good thing is that your gsm seems ok and the xda is charging.
XDA Dead!
Thanks for the reply...I have just pushed the pin and am leaving the XDA in that state for the whole day...hope it revives back...its presently just giving me a garbled screen and nothing else...even when I press the power and hard reset together, it comes back to the garbled screen and nothing else...I'll take your advice and not touch it after the above for the day and let you know what happens, if there is any other advice I would highly appreciate it...
Bootloader Malfunction
You mentioned that your bootloader seems to be screwed up. Download the full version of XDA tools WITH the bootloader and Programme A. Grab yourself a new ROM of your choosing, lumpistefan's kitchen, etc. Then use the XDA tools to write the bootloader and the rom to your SD card. After that hard booting the device with the SD card installed should ask you if you want to flash the device.
I noticed that if you have XDA tools without the bootloader file it will write the rom to your SD and you will NOT be able to get to the flash your device screen.
This is the only way to do it since your device will not boot to a rom. Upgrades from manufactures and roms prepared with Programme A all require MS Active Synch AND a good working connection.
If you have a SD card prepared with the ROM and the bootloader the right way, it should almost be foolproof from what I understand.
Hope this helps, I was in much the same situation
XDA Dead!
Yups! I tried to boot it from an SD Card, its not exactly an SD Card but an MMC Card (128MB). It still comes up to the same garbled screen which is more garbled than ever before! Does not ask me for anything; or even confirms anything...It does not do anything else besides the screen even after a soft reset/hard reset or a combo hard/soft power button reset.
I'm really totally stuck...Any ideas will be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Your XDA is completely dead; you screwed OS ROM and bootloader.
Forget SD or Details method, it won't work for you!
Re: Dead SX-56
Can you help me fix it please? What do I need to do?
Bootloader
The more experienced members of this forum can correct me on this, but I have been under the impression that the SD method of flashing does not require an intact OS ROM or bootloader on the device.
If you created the SD correctly, it should contain its own bootloader. Just putting it in the unit and then reseting it should come up with the screen to flash the device.
Did you create the SD card with XDAtools? Did you also have the bootloader file in the /bin directory when you did it?
If a properly created SD "flash" card cannot fix your problem, then you really might have no choice to but to get it professionally repaired where the remove the chips themselves and replace them.
I think you may even be in luck. www.pocketpctechs.com probably can do this and they are located in Fountain Valley, CA about 4 hours away from you. They can also put in bigger memory and batteries at the same time at a discount if you are getting it repaired
Re:
Thank you so much for the reply...I will try it once more; although, yes I have tried the same thing before and made the MMC Card through the XDATools, but never hurts to try again...I'll double check on the bootloader again too this time...
If you can, please send me the contact information for the people who fix the XDA's professionally as you mentioned in the USA somewhere near me preferably, I am in San Jose, CA...I'll try to contact them also...
Best Regards.

Their website is www.pocketpctechs.com.
You can find all the contact information right there. As far as I know fountain valley is about 4-5 hours away from San Jose.
Similar problem:
I have a XDA I here, which has a similar problem:
It boots with the welcome to T-Mobile screen, and
it shows at the bottom of the screen 4.01.16 after a while R4.06 and after a while G32S54. The machine locks-up and does not respond to anything except the touch screen. If i tap the screen, the backlight turns on, and a
rotating 'wait' icon appears. That's it. I am not able to put it in Bootloader mode by pressing power - > reset, so i cannot reflash the unit using SD.
I guess the former user has tried to reflash the unit, and had put the OS overwriting the bootloader, OTOH, the unit seems to run *some* code, since it responds to taps on the screen, by turning on the backlight.
Any guru have any clue on this one? I could not find anything in the forums, while the forums are VERY helpful in the past.
GreetingZ,
Richard

<<I am not able to put it in Bootloader mode by pressing power - > reset, so i cannot reflash the unit using SD>>
I really do not understand that. I am not a Guru by any means, and I hope one does make a comment on this.
As far as a I can tell by my own experiences, you do not need to put it in Bootloader mode by presseing power-reset. That is totally unneccessary to flash the unit. In fact, in Bootloader mode I have never found any command or method to flash the unit from the sd card. Only methods to backup the rom to the sd card. So I am really really confused to hear you guys say that.
I have successfully flashed XDA's with 2 methods. Programme A by which the XDA is connected to Active Synch 3.7 and by an SD card created by XDAtools.
Programme A only seems to work when there are NO problems at all and you just want to upgrade or try something else.
The SD card method seems to be the choice for repair.
Creating the SD card with XDAtools *WITH* the bootloader file in the /bin directory does work. The SD card I created with this method DID not, i repeat, DID not need the Bootloader (power-reset). It only needed to be powered on with the SD Card in the XDA.
If there are any Gurus moderating this post, I would sincerely appreciate having this cleared up

It is only there when you have the SD card in the device, otherwise you cannot find it by moving around through the different menus.
XDAArit is completely outdated. You need to get their new tool.
XDATools can be downloaded from the website here. The best thread that talks about the tool is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189&highlight=xdatools
The exact link to get the tool and all the supporting files, including the bootloader is:
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe
When you install this version of XDAtools you will find a directory called binaries. Under it there should be a file called "bootloader_v5_15.nb0"
Use the tool to create your SD card with a .nb1 file of your choice. After that it should only be a matter of powering on the device with the SD card inside the unit.
I have 2 XDAs. 1 good en 1 have problem with bootloader and rom.
I can't access Wallaby bootloader en the OS don't start.
I backup it from good XDA in the bootloader (ce+Boot) and i pushed my SD in the XDA where problems are..
He don't work. How can I fix my problem..
Please Help...
I am not aware of what the (ce+boot) actually creates on the SD card. If that is the exact ROM that you want, I would suggest downloading the full version of XDA tools, and I think you can use it to copy the ROM from the SD card to a .nb1 file on your computer. Then follow the instructions I have already posted to make the working SD card that will flash the XDA.
When it comes to the SD card, the only time I have ever been successfull is when creating it with XDAtools with a .nb1 file and the bootloader .nb0 file inside the binaries directory.
That's it. I have never been able to do it any other way. Programme A does not count since it requires an active and working OS and connection to the PC and most people that are in trouble don't have that.
Someone might be able to show me in the right direction.
Been trying to load several android roms on my hd2. Everyone has been a SD version, But for some reason the installation stops at the initial black screen with "micro size" text. Am I doing something wrong not getting past that screen?
Please help. Been trying fo 6 hours now, about to give up.
Tx for help guys,
/Wiklander
What do the last few lines of 'micro size text' say? If it's truly failing to boot, there's usually a clue in there as to why.
What build are you currently trying to boot up?
The first boot up can take quite awhile, sometimes 5-10 minutes. Let it go for a good while, and if it still won't boot, report back with what build it is, and the last 5 lines or so of the white micro size text. Good luck
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I think the last line in the boot screen was jumping to kernel or something like that. Dont know if that helps..
After it says that, does the screen change to black with a green HTC logo, or stay with the white text? The older initrd.gz's showed all the text, while the newer ones cover it with the HTC screen. Was there like 100 lines of code or just a few?
It sounds like it's failing to load the kernel.

Yeah, I sometime also experienced as you did
You can try to reformated your SD card and dont put any files except the Android rom files. And when your copy the Android files from PC, use Card Reader. Also try to combine with other winmo roms, because sometime it just works when you use other winmo roms. Also try redownload and do MD5 checksum to ensure the downloaded file is correct and not corrupted
If it still fails, you can try use with a brand new sd card.
Good luck
Goodluck
first make sure your SD card is error free, it means you have to check it using any aoftware, windows explorer will do, just right-click the card on My computer, go to properties-tools and check it for errors. I also recommend formatting it, make sure you uncheck quick format, choose FAT32 for file system and 32 for cluster size (not smaller!) and again.
also, read the build's info again, some builds require you creating a config file before you start, like the one in my sig, if so, you have to create that file before you start android.
hope that helps
Hi all,
I tried yesterday this mod, messing with swap and stuff at the sd card and installed swapper2 from market, but after hitting "on" at the app and tried to reboot, my phone died... and by that I mean completely died...
It doesn't power up, it doesn't boot at CWM neither at bootloader (pink screen).
When I plug it to the charger nothing happens and it doesn't get recognised by the PC also.
I tried booting without the sd card, i tried reformatting it (with swap or without swap) but again... nothing.
I tried to flash the stock firmware (dload folder at sdcard and stuff) but again it doesn't start the bootloader...
Any suggestions before I through it off the window much appreciated
EDIT: I was on latest Aurora...
You may have better luck accessing it through Linux.
If you can get access then you can restore a dd backup from someone.
That program uses root, right? And you put swap partition as mmcblk0p2?
If so, then it simply replaced your main bootloader with the swap file and you have to take it to repair service.
The correct way would've been to use mmcblk1p2, as external SD uses mmcblk1.

You have to get phone boot from USB and then use USB JIG which contains bootloader to boot phone and then use some flash tool to flash bootloader to phone. It's very hard and I have no idea how get it boot from USB. Another solution is write bootloader directly to internal sd. I can't help you more.

Can someone upload the mmcblk0p2 file? I think is inside /dev/block/ folder.
Does anyone knows how to boot something from the sd card? I don't know what... another ROM, another OS...

Can you try to make a partition on your sd card and dd the bootloader to that partition? After that, give the partition a bootable flag with fdisk and insert to phone. Try to start in many different variations, press the volume keys etc. If the soc bootloader has enabled a function to boot from sd card, somehow it would boot.
The emmc is soldered onto the motherboard. I don't think there are any ways to desolder it or replace.
Of course there must be another way to boot directly from sd card by using some pins, but I have not taken my phone apart to seek on that. Might do it someday though.
JTAG is the thing that would help you definately, but I don't think you have that and the box is pretty expensive too.
-EDIT-
I found this link, it says the phone should go in emergency download mode if loading flash disk fails, do you get any messages in Windows or by listing lsusb in Ubuntu do you get any result when connected with USB? There has to be a way to boot that emergency mode.

I purchased a Power Acoustik ingenix system, which runs from wince 5 as I was able to view the image.bin in visual studio to see this. After reading a lot about this unit on the installation and user guides, I discovered there is a file manager in the software, however it will only support video, picture, and audio files..so it is useless to be for what I want to do. The navigation software is bare bone and is just horrid. I simply want to run my igo primo on it. So, I need to be able to boot into wince to change the navigation path. I would love for someone to tell me how I can accomplish this. I know the navigation maps and perhaps the software is on a 4gb sd card that comes with the head unit. In other forums, I read the card is somehow protected as one person copied all the files to another SD card but when he tried to use the new card, there was an error saying the navigation software could not load. My idea here is to put my igo primo on the sd card and boot to wince and simply go in and change the navigation path to \Primo.exe.. If there is a better way, such as somehow modifying the SD card files to run Primo, or if I could discover the units original navigation path and change primo.exe to this new path (not sure if that would work or not), I am just trying to figure out a way. This is the ONLY change I would want to make to the system. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Will someone knowledgeable please just tell me how to boot from an SD card to get straight to windows CE? I would be thankful.
Your device has an SD-card slot, correct? If so and if OEM implemented an SD-Autorun feature - means at boottime a specific named file located on SD-card will be processed, then you can "abuse" this SD-Autorun feature to directly enter the Windows CE portion of your device.
Each OEM has implemented its own mechanism to directly boot into Windows CE, so a general way doesn't exist. Hence some time ago I compiled the most known SD-Autorun-OEM-methods. You might give it a try. But can't promise it works in your case.

Hi,
Somehow I accidentally deleted a file on my 32GB FAT mSD Card with my Note 3 (1st time this has happened). Have not used it since this happened.
Did a forum search https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=451406379 and found Photos recovery without Root, possible? Thread by frytek.
Questions:
1. Is it easier to undelete this file using Android or Windows? I have more experience using Windows?
2. Any recommendations concerning either/both Android or Windows Undelete software?
3. Is there anyway to prevent my Note 3 from deleting Anything (both files and photos)?
Thanks

SD card recover through windows and a card reader.
Try free tools like RECUVA first .
Hi JJEgan,
Thanks for the tip!
Since posting have been searching the Internet for this type of software. Found "Best Data Recovery Software of 2018" https://www.handyrecovery.com/best-data-recovery-apps.html#forward
Would like to reduce the recovery search as much as possible. I do know 1. the path for the deleted file and 2. the date and time the delete occurred.
Should add checked RECUVA options https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/recuva/recuva-settings "You can only change Recuva's settings in Advanced mode, not Wizard mode" then checked "Options - Actions tab" Finally found "Specifying what to search for" "If you want to search a specific folder on a drive, select the drive from the drop-down box at left, and then type the path name in the Filename or path drop-down box at right (in the format \windows). Recuva will search all files in the path's folder and subfolders." Seems exactly what I want!
As beginner am unsure of "type the path name in the Filename or path drop-down box at right (in the format \windows). Recuva will search all files in the path's folder and subfolders." I have not found an example of this. Was looking for a Screen Shot. Appreciate any clarification! Have done some searching but to date have not found any screen shots.
Thanks again!

As a beginner have this question. How long does it take to scan a ~ full SD card? Also what is the hardware you use?
Thanks again for your help!
Windows 10. Recuva and a card reader.
Update, have been searching for the Recuva manual or user guide.
First used keywords "recuva manual" found "Using Recuva" https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/recuva/using-recuva Also found "MANUAL DE RECUVA | PDF Flipbook - Youblisher" http://www.youblisher.com/p/764688-MANUAL-DE-RECUVA/
Since need an Engllish manual researched using "English recuva manual" but got No results found for "English recuva manual" Using No "..." did find "Using Recuva to Restore Deleted Files on Windows" by Ronald Ross http://www.spkaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SPK_Recuva.pdf
This was Very Helpful because p3 shows that with the Wizard at where were the files, last option, you can put in the specific path it even has a browse option (would like to show p3 but do not know how). Also as a beginner the screen shots were way more helpful.

Hi,
Somehow I accidentally deleted a file on my 32GB FAT mSD Card with my Note 3 (1st time this has happened). Have not used it since this happened.
Did a forum search https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=451406379 and found Photos recovery without Root, possible? Thread by frytek.
Questions:
1. Is it easier to undelete this file using Android or Windows? I have more experience using Windows?
2. Any recommendations concerning either/both Android or Windows Undelete software?
3. Is there anyway to prevent my Note 3 from deleting Anything (both files and photos)?
Thanks
Ken

As the data to be recovered is on a microSD, get a card reader, or use the card reader slot on your computer, and scan the card with data recovery software. Data recovery software is usually designed to run on either Windows or Mac, although there is also some that is Linux based. SanDisk makes a good one, called RescuePRO.
