Hi all,
My UK O2 HD Mini is no longer recognised via any usb connection.
Mobile device center cannot see the phone, and even in bootloader mode the device is not recognised, I have tried several cables and computers.
My question is.
Is there any way to flash the phone from the sd card, so I can reflash the original o2 rom, before returning it for repair under warranty?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Success I found the answer.
Rename the the flash file to photimg.nbh, with power off insert sd card into phone, hold vol down and press the power button.
Phone goes into bootloader, then the flash screen. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Edit: Sorry, after reading it the second time, I realised I misunderstood....

Hi guys,
I kinda rushed flashing my hero and I think while I rooted it ok, I flashed it with the wrong image (a file called Villain5.5.0.zip instead of VillainRom10.2-Full-signed.zip).
Now after the HTC logo, the phone switches off.
However if take battery out and in (won't do it otherwise) and I hold home and switch on, it goes to recovery menu and I can connect with sdk through usb and works ok.
However in order to recover the phone I have to push the correct firmware to the phone, but when I put this:
Code:
/adb push VillainROM10.2-Full-signed.zip /sdcard/VillainROM10.2-Full-signed.zip
It does not do anything..
can someone help?! thanks in advance!
just enable mass storage mode in recovery and copy new ROM on SD card as usual.
Is there a reason you're doing it this way? Just boot into recovery...

Worked perfect thanks.
I was going to do the 2.1 upgrade to my streak, but renamed the pkg file on the sim card to Update.pkg instead of update.pkg
did the volume+power to get to the menu and selected 2) - it said it needed to do an emergency recovery so I let it.
Since then I have tried a factory reset (option1) and it just sticks on the dell logo
tried that a couple of times - no difference, tried with and without sim - no difference.
So what is my next step? - I read about fastboot but I've no idea what it is!
If I try connecting my streak to my PC it says it installing device driver
and installs a qualcomm something, which changes to a 'USB Human Interface'
the pc suite says disconnected.
so any ideas?

Ok so I'm a bit further on.
I have got the unit in fastboot mode, changed the device driver to one on the streak, done the recovery and then tried option 2 again - same problem as the first time round - the display shows
'Android system recovery utility GAUSb1a110421
press the shutter button to start emergency software recovery
warning all data will be erased'
it then boots and sits on the dell logo.
I presume the update.pkg on the memory card is either missing or damaged.
Any more suggestions - sadly I cant find the microsd adapter for my laptop to put a different update.pkg on it
any more suggestions?
ok found a micro SD drive adapter After searchging for my one I thought I'd lost I realised my o2dongle has an adaptor in it- downloaded the 4399 build from dell, did option 2 again to load from update - and once again I get the emergency system recovery - the pretty box and now I'm back to 1.6.
So I guess it was just a bad 2.1 download
so the question is bed or try to find another 2.1 rom!
Just when I thought I should have gone to bed and not tried again as it was looking a bit dead again- 2.1!!!!
playtime!
ive had this too! if and when i get to fastboot (crap crap key combo!) i might just see it boot again! my other option is to pour lighter fuel over it then sit it on fire whilst playing voodoo chile at full volume as it is 2am here...
Hi, I'm new in this forum so don't be harsh on me I've bricked my u8800 pro.
I've downloaded firmware from: huaweidevice[dot]com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDY1NTY=
I've installed first UPDATE.APP file in my formated sd card and went to settings and chose to update from sd card. After some time installation failed and phone freezed so i removed battery, but when i tried to turn on the phone nothing happened, it doesn't turn in recovery mode either. Usb isn't working.
Is there any chance i can unbrick my phone? How?
Thanks for help.
Hi, download official 2.2/2.3 for U8800Pro and copy it on the MicroSD card via usb card reader.
Turn off the phone , insert MicroSD card and hold vol up, vol down and power buttons at the same time.
Phone will turn on and start installing official 2.2/2.3
When install was comlete, you are done.
Thanks for reply. I have done as you said ( used: U8800P_Android_2.3_V100R001C00B521_Oversea_Normal_05010TXB ) but nothing happened - installation haven't started, no pink screen. As I stated before phone does not turn on to recovery and it doesn't turn on with or without an sd card, it doesn't show any kind of life. Maybe you have another piece of advice.
Pull the battery out and connect phone to the charger/PC via USB and hold vol +, vol - and power at the same time. Maybe it helps.
Thanks for reply, but as i stated before usb isn't working, because there's a crack in mainboard near the usb socket. I'll try to solder the mainboard as soon as i'll find necessary screwdriver for unscrewing plastic parts. Maybe you have other suggestion that doesn't involve usb.
Try to install other official roms. Maybe one of all will work.

Hello All,
I Hard bricked my N9005 while downgrading form Stock 5.0 to stock N9005VJUBMI7 (4.3 ?).
Note 3 N9005 32GB .. was working well on Android 5.0, except GPS issue and battery drain issue. So, I thought will go back to older stock ROM.
While flashing N9005VJUBMI7 (from Sammobile ) on Odin, without any PIt file and Re-partition unchecked. Odin flash completed and it said successful.
But, after this, phone never booted. Power button doesn't work. Download mode keys won't work. Recovery mode keys won't work. Charger doesn't work. USB doesn't detect on PC. LED never lit. Is this state called HARD-BRICKED? Or its a step ahead and completely dead ?!
I tried the debrick.img on SD card method using the thread by ValenteL. Followed below steps:
On Windows 7, used win32DiskImager, and created the rescue micros SD card (16GB) using debrick image of 4.4.2. Inserted SD card on phone, put battery and tried to see if phone boots. Unfortunately, it didn't Tried to play around with all keys, long press for 30 secs, usb cable, charger.. etc. But, still no luck.
Please let me know if any suggestions to bring the device back alive!
Thanks in advance !!

You should have known that you can not downgrade from 5 to 4.3.

Sorry, my phone is too adamant. It won't go to download mode. All I want is to get it into download mode! Would jig help? What you think? Spend some 3$ on eBay?
Worth a try with the jig before paying for a service centre repair .

I was trying to root my phone using the information/program on http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...b6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569 . The program started to run and seemed to be working but it never finished or I was an idiot who didn't give it enough time. Either way, I now have a phone that I can only get to the bootloader screen but it isn't unlocked so I can't put a new ROM on it and the factory reset doesn't get me back in. Is there any way to unlock from here or do I need to seek out and download the stock Verizon ROM and install it again via the SD card?

After you get your phone back to 5.0 stock, run the one click root again on win 10 using the stock cable if you have it, then install SuperSU. Go to thread Official bootloader unlock for Verizon note 3 by ryanbg. This will completely unlock bootloader and you can install TWRP. But read the warning thread about using the new version.
I'm new at this but it worked for me
Good luck, some of those threads have info on getting you back to normal
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, right now I'm not sure if I'll even be able to get back to 5.0. The original USB cable is a thought as I'm not able to get the PC to see the phone. My only access is SD card so far.

If you:
- pull battery, wait 10 sec, insert battery. (USB *not* plugged in)
- startup w/ Vol-Down+Home+Power
- select "Cancel" when warning splash screen displays
what happens? Does it hang for a while before it goes back to the Odin Download screen?
I'm not aware of any method to install from the SD card.
(Maybe w/Mobile Odin but that doesn't apply here).
99% of the time if there is a connectivity issue between the phone & the PC, the issue is on the Windows side if things.

When I go through the steps you suggest, after I select the cancel action, the phone restarts and enters the boot loader with very little delay. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.
I've downloaded the stock ROM. Is there a way to install it from SD card? Can I use Odin on it to create a file the phone can boot from? It seems there should be something I can do...
Also - As for the connectivity issue being on the windows side, before this whole process, I had no issues connecting to the phone from Windows so I do not believe it is on that side...

Whew - I was able to get the stock ROM back on the phone. There was a pending update on my PC which might or might not have been part of the issue. After the restart, I was able to us Odin to push it back on. Now to root the thing again...
