I recently flashed AOKP Milestone 4 to my Acer Iconia A500 Tab. I had problems with the power button rebooting instead of sleeping. This was fixed by disabling crt animations.
When I plug it into my PC, the driver is not found. I tried downloading and re-installing the driver, but no luck. It worked fine before I flashed the ROM.
Any help is much appreciated!

You should probably post your issues at the Warez site where you downloaded the rom.
With concern to your issue, it's because that portion of the rom doesn't work. Mainly because they (Kang) can't figure it out. It's what happens when you cut and paste other developers code, claiming it as your own.
At best, you can get Google's ADB driver package and communicate with the tab via adb.
But hey, at least their added "donations" menu in the Settings works! Probably the only thing that does

You forgot the best part! It's more of a double Warez thing, considering it came from thor.
Thanks for chiming in, guys. Unfortunately I don't give two s**ts about your opinions of a
Particular developer. I was simply asking for help with a specific issue I was having. If you can't help, don't reply. The point of these forums is to seek and/or provide answers.

Well, seems I gave you the answer already, and you're being so rude, then you may find your answers somewhere else. Or you can report me to the Mods, and explain why you can't get better help on Warez.
Like I said earlier, your best is with ADB device drivers. But suppose you didn't read that part?
On a side note, I have no issue with Thor, and get along with him quite well.

The solution is simple, use a proven quality ROM rather than one "kanged" from other developers that has several known serious problems.

Need help...
after many roms and kernels, finally I got a well working 3.1 stock with the richardtrip kernel.
The problem is: under device information I've SNID and SN fields empty.
I don't know how to insert the correct info here, but more than this I'd like to know if this could be the reason I can no more install anything from the market. I mean, I can install apps from the tablet market, but I can't form my pc the way I used to do before. Simply the apps chosen from my pc are not getting to my tablet.
I've also to say that in the market, under my profile, I already have 3 devices in the list (but they are always the only one I have) I've tried to hide one of them at a time, but no luck...
Any suggestion?
Anyone of you people know how to remove previous devices from the market profile, cause I hadn't find any procedure to achieve this...
TIA
If you have taken the time to read the forum (or at least the stickies) you would have known that ONLY the stock kernel with stock rom will show you the SNID and SN!
uh.. I'm spending several hours a day fetching this great forum, I'm really sorry if I gave you the impression I hadn't searched before, but that's it... certainly I missed something within these endless threads and posts.
In any case, thanks for your answer.
Custom KERNEL seems not supporting the SN and SNID
but if you return to a stock kernel you will get them back
and really with all respect.... the post you are trying to say you cannot find is on PINNED 3rd line...

oops.. no clue in the title, no results searching threads and posts using "snid" as the keyworkd...

Over the internet there are various guides teaching the lesson 'how to get out of a soft brick.' Some guides can be hard to follow and very hoarse leaving a noob feeling like he/she has destroyed their device. Fear Not.This is a comprehensive guide for less experienced users who happen to find themselves in a soft brick.
Dictionary - Soft brick - the phone can still boot, and be flashed easily but in its current state is unusable.
- Hard brick - the phone cannot boot and requires additional devices to do so (USB Jig, Riffbox).
This is the quickest escape route on the interweb and you will be done in no time. Here we go:
First Download Flashtool. Here (You may download any version from the previous versions tab.)
Install Flashtool.
Find the stock firmware for your device. For the x8
E15i android 2.1.1 http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5 (2.1.1.C.0.0 latest firmware)
Dictionary - stock firmware - latest version of software released by the manufacturer
After downloading the firmware. Extract the file. You will be left with a firmware file with .ftf as the ending.
Go into 'my computer' then 'flashtool' folder then 'firmware'. Then copy the .ftf file into that folder.
Close the folder.
Now to make sure that your phone is recognized by flashtool, go into computer then flashtool then drivers.
Now Install the driver for the x8.
Connect your x8 to your computer.
open the Flashtool program.
Click the bolt icon in the top left.
Select the name of the firmware you downloaded (2.1.1.C.0.0) in the left panel. it will highlight blue.
Click ok (bottom right).
A box will appear telling you to put your device into flash mode. Follow the instructions it gives.
Once this is done the box will dissapear and firmware will flash.
Finally device will reboot and phone will be back to normal.
Congratulations you have unbricked your device.
I hope you found this useful. Please thank me using the button if you appreciate my efforts. #
This is my first guide. Tell me what you think. Anything I could improve.
Very good guide, cause didn't know yet about this..very thanks..:thumbup:
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
nice and quick guide, i guess that what a paniced newbie search for!
suggestion:i think you should add about the installation of drivers,as many users come here telling that their phones is not recognized by flashtool
also change the 4-noobs at the title, is kidda disturbing...put "for" instaid of 4
There is about 100 threads about that. Just color of text and size is diferent!
guuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssss,dont attack him because he want to help,if you dont like it,ignore it!

I know what you are talking about,but as long as there are so many who make a new thread for asking help for a brick,I prefer having similar threads with the same information that will help people rather than having stupid threads that are useless after all.....

Thankyou for everyone's support. I have changed the '4' to 'for' in the title as suggested by stamatis16.

As someone who studied psychology, I know that people learn in very different ways. A guide from someone else may not help a certain person. Different fonts evoke different responses and speeds of learning. Different colours do similar things too. So in response to the 'there are millions of guides' argument, I say . Everyone learns differently and this may help someone desperate more effectively than any other. I know that when I needed this help none of the guides were as simple as the one I have composed.
In addition to this, please remember, I am spending my personal time to aid others. So negative flaming saying that my posts are 'not really helping' is always a let-down.
Thankyou once again for the support.
Special thanks lyhengboy stamatis16 for comments.
Guys, think of it this way. Its better for someone to make a new thread which will prevent 2000 threads asking the same topic.
Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? You can always PM him for ideas
For now I agree that it is somehow odd to create extra thread for the same purpose for noob knowing that there is already an existing one. Very nice purpose but we need to be organized as well hugs.

I can understand that but I have clearly highlighted in my post before this one why I made a new thread. Please read it if you have not.
Also I would like to have my own 'branding' if you like, of guides and reviews. I try to spice each one up differently to combat that argument.
Thankyou very much for being kind when posting. :laugh: Sorry if I come across as rude, I do not mean to be this way.
Q:Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? we need to be organized as well
A: I would be very sad if you were to delete or move or zap this thread for the reasons you mention above. I have spent great periods of time composing and tailor making this for certain users. As a RC I hope you can understand my reasoning.
Thankyou once again.
EDIT: I have changed the title to make it seem 'different'. I also want to mention my 'dictionary' feature. I think this is different and may help my argument.
I fully understand you. Thy will be done
Can someone with a soft bricked X8 let me know if its possible to boot into safe mode?
Hold menu when booting.
Thankyou. I was a bit scared when you said you wanted to remove this post and 'merge it with another.' Great to know you are so supportive.
Yes, please do not merge this. I have benefited allot from this post. Merging it I think will take out the time put into to this. Plus, other people may not see this. I am happy the op decided not to merge.

I don't have a soft or a hard brick. But I acknoledge you made a great guide and thank you anyway.
It was also useful because I am still considering if I should root my Galaxy Ace Duos GT-S6802 or not. And this made me realize that even if it bricks, it can be reverted. Do you have any idea if a hard brick is reversible? Also, in worst case scenario, can I simply download the software from samsung site and install it? Thanks. And sorry if I broke any rules here, I'm still a noob (still scared by the introdutory video haha)

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.

Yes I have check all the things My Router, Phone etc..
It is working fine in WinMo mode but as soon as I switch it to Android it stops working.
Please help don't just read it!

Try a different SD Android and see if that works, search the thread for other people who have non-working WiFi.

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot
now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that.

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
