Hi guys.
After triying everything i know about and searching on lots of forums and google, i decided to give good'ol XDA a shot.
Anyway, someone from my family asked me if the phone he just got from his brother would take whats app. It was a HTC HD Mini with the stock WM6.5, so i said "i don't think so", "but hey, you know what? i can install Android in it, and then you could use it like any other Android device!"
...yeah, good idea, for sure.
So i searched, and decided to follow a guide posted on HTCMania.com, wich was the translation of a ROM thread here, on xda, this one: LINK
I followed everything, and i got to the step where you have to execute a .bat file called "install LK.bat". A CMD window appeared, but something went really wrong. Or not, i dont know, the fact is that, suddenly, the phone's screen changed from black with green texts, to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It will stay like that, no matter what you do, say, pray, etc... . In order to turn off the device, you have to remove the battery.
So i investigate a little more, and try to upload the stock WM ROM via SSPL. I do it in the bootloader menu (what a wonderfull sight after all the good years that my beloved HTC Prophet gave me...).
FAIL!!!! It says that i can go home and cry, because of an error called "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"
Wonderfull! so i start looking for every ROM i can think off, factory, cooked, everything. I try to install them via SD card naming the ruu "PHOTIMG", and then turning on the device with the bootloader, it starts loading it, "Loading..." "Checking..." "0028002 not allow". And back to the bootloader tri-color screen.
At this point, i dont know what to do, my phone is Spanish, the service provider is Movistar, but the phone is unlocked (i dont know if it was unlocked by someone, or if it never was locked in the first place).
There are a couple of SPA ROMs outhere, one is generic, and the other is Vodafone. Not to mention, neither of the two works.
PLEASE, if someone can help me in any way, it will be MUCH appreciated.
THX to all.
go to http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.p...wrong one,then it can't flash n say error. ..
Thanks for answering, but that page should sue me for excessive bandwidth usage, LOL. I've already tried lots of ROMs from there, but not a single one would get past 1%, they all spit out the same error: 294: Invalid vender ID

Hi everybody. I'll try to brief 2 days of an unsucessful rescue operation. I have a XV6700 by Verizon, Tried to flash the WM6 Verizon rom first. My BL version was 2.05, so I had to downgrade to the 2.02. I followed step by step on some guy's post on PPCgeeks. the operation got messed up somewhere in the middle and my nightmare started right there. When flashing the NOID rom to the phone, it gave me an error and now it won't take back the OEM AKU 3.3, it says, WRONG DEVICE, this application is not made for your device. So I forgot about the OEM, tried to COOK a custom rom using kitchen, the only one that the phone will accept is the one with RUU - NO ID and Carrier Generic or Verizon, the ROM flashing process starts at STEP 3! it doesnt do radio upgrade , it starts right on "Upgrading CE..." and at 99% it fails. the phone then, boot ( weird boot screen, pixels, colors, lines ) followed by a blank ( white ) splash screen. and thats it. So i managed to find a GENERIC version of the WM6 already compiled. That one gives me the same error, error 112 ( see picture ) at 99% and boots with the same weird boot screen, blank splash, but this time it does show partial WM6, i can access programs, answer call, messaging etc. but it shows overlapping fonts, and the Dialer is tottaly blank. I tried installing more than 10 different dialers, but the phone screen is blank. Now I need help. I am afraid to make it worst. what could be wrong? My BL shows 2.02 .... but using the mytty software and punching task 28 55a ( as explained on the downgrade procedure ) it doesnt show what it's suppose to show. Heeeeelp!! Thanks

Heres my problem, i have the basic **** 1.5 rom that comes with the G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and T-Mobile being pathetic have cocked things up with the 2.1 update. again.
Im Trying to Flash an old Rom from the HTC website (still better than the default i have), to entice the download of part 1 of 2.1 but it refuses to connect Via USB as soon as i run the program. I got it to work once and it keeled over and Died within seconds.
This is the Rom im trying to Flash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775
I use Windows 7 32Bit
I just upgraded to:
HTC Sync 2.0.33
The Rom downloads as:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Windows recognises the device fine, it shows up "green" in HTC Sync, Its recognised in "Devices and Printing" as Android Phone.
but as soon as I run the above .exe to upgrade the rom, it disconnects the android from windows, and then tells me that its not connected via USB. retard developers!
Now im really coming to an end with this phone, its doing my nut in.
I managed to get it to run the update somehow, i cant remember how i did it, pulling the usb out and adding it at different stages, somehow lol, and it only started, then died giving me this mess:
Comes up in "Devices and Printing" as an unspecified device called "android 1.0" with the hardware name HTC Bootloader, type ADB Interface

I did what it said in the Readme and took the battery out and rebooted, and im back to square one.
Its just physically impossible for me to get off this bloody default ROM!
please help me!
Wait, i think i cracked it. I created a Goldcard and after 2 attempts running the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver it worked!
and as soon as the phone started the "update" popped up for the 2.1 part 1!
yeah boy!
Make sure you have the correct drivers for windows 7

Hi, i'm kinda desperate but I'll try to be as clear as possible. So.
Recently I got an used galaxy s8(G950F), at the time I got It, i could get network,make calls and lte with no problems, so, I saw that the mobile was rooted and also I had really bad problems of battery,like I almost lost all my battery because of the usage of android system,( i think an app was bugged or something because my phone was really overheating when I was only using chrome and nothing more, and happened with every app I used), I didn't want the device rooted and with that problem of battery. So I tried to flash another room in order to try to fix it, and when I did, I couldn't get into network, I only get the "emergency calls only".again, In order to try to fix that, i flashed some same csc and pda firmware,then another firmware with only same baseband, (always with original firmware) and nothing seems to work. I really don't know what to do now, I pulled out the sim before factory reset, and put it after, turning off airplane and turning on, like any easy solution I could find I tried it.I'm out of ideas. One thing I saw is that the firmware I had before has pda and csc from a firmware from MXO but a baseband from ARO that ends in CR1. I couldn't find a firmware like that and also I want to know if I can fix it, really. I'll really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Some more things: if I do try to select a network at the select networks operators I get "error while searching for networks" ,the network I'm trying to connect is movistar, I'm from Argentina, I'll attach screenshots of the firmware I had before (the one that was working the mobile data) and now, also the imei didn't change or disappear so I don't think that's the problem.

EDIT: ok, i send the phone to a repair shop and turns out that the imei is blacklisted and has been changed.also the person who sold me the phone didn't mention anything about that, so when i restarted my phone it came back to the original imei. big oof for me. if any moderator sees this you can delete the post.
Hey guys,
I'm posting here as a last resort before a factory reset.
By the way, let me first say that I'm sorry to post this here, as I know it's SO stupid, what's happening.
I had the same lock pattern for 2 years now, never had a problem.
Last week, it just fell out my mind completely. I've been trying for 4 days straight to remember it.
It's quite a complicated one, with the pattern tracing deactivated so I can't remember the shape and my thumb tried with its motor memory but to no avail :x
The thing is, I extensively use the notepad stock app (Samsung Notes ? Android Notes ?) and I have a **** TON of info I REALLY don't want to lose. And it's not on the SD card, ofc.
I don't care much about the rest, to be honest.
Fun fact, I only synced contacts via the android sync function.
So how can I either remove the lock pattern or access my phone files with an explorer on my computer (I guess I can find a memory file for the notepad somewhere), knowing that :
- Not rooted
- USB debugging not activated
- Not registered with Samsung account
- Android version is the latest available in France for an SM-A510F as I do all updates
I can provide as much as I can to prove my ownership of the phone if needed.
Thank you for reading and maybe for helping.
You have absolutely every right to laugh to my (dumb) face.
EDIT :
Just tried something else. Booted in recovery to try an ADB command.
Since Windows didn't recognize the phone in recovery mode, I selected the option "Load package with ADB" or something like that.
Now the phone was listed in devices on ADB and I tried this : adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
Result : error.
Great.
So since the phone was unresponsive to any button, I waited and there was a timeout on the package load.
BUT NOW...
I have a blue screen that says "Error!" and it's completely unresponsive.
GREAT.
I'm off to work, read you soon.
XOXO

I noticed a log file in xplore file manager that had not been there before, when i opened it there was a load of files, and when i opened some of them they had things listed i did not like, one had a list of things saying they were disabled when they are not disabled, one had things like get sim info, others mentioned AT&T and Verison when i am in the U.K on Vodafone, i keep deleting it but it comes back, i have took some screenshots of the list of files and parts of some of the files, have i been hacked ? Does anyone know what it is, Thank you for any help

if youre not rooted, youre unlikely hacked. If you have the fear that you have been, factory reset from within the OS, remove any FRP lock, boot to recovery, factory reset in there literally 3 times. The 3 times part isnt because of your situation, its a constant across all galaxy devices to wipe more than once because phone weirdness does occur, reflash tour firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares with the regular CSC, not the HOME_CSC, reboot, set your phone up and any chance of it being hacked are gone.
Thank You
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, i cannot get into recovery mode either, since the Oreo 8.0.0 update my phone screen flashs when i get a call and going into recovery mode i release power when samsung shows then the android man comes for a split second then the flashing screen starts and the screen is totally covered with small vertical coloured lines, i found out when i went to wipe the cache partition but couldn't cos of the flashing and coloured screen, this all happened after the ota Oreo update, the flashing was constant at first i couldn't use the phone but now it's just with calls out or in and when the call ends it stops after about 10 seconds, that's why i haven't rooted which i would like to do as the Google and Samsung bloat is ridiculous, we shiuld be given the option, if we want them we can download them but not be forced to have them, but i'm afraid to root to remove them due to the flashing screen,but i think there are internal settings to reset it Thank you for your help
