[Q] Pattern Lock on 2nd hand Flipout? - Flipout and Charm General

Hi all,
I bit the bullet and picked up a 2nd hand OrangeUK Flipout (details available if I need to prove I bought it legally)... but the seller cannot remember the pattern to draw to access the phone.
How might I resolve this issue, please?
I can access the Bootloader, which is on v91.10, but that's all I've found so far.
I have found RSD Lite v5.6 and the USB Drivers from the MotoDev website.
Will flashing RUTEM_U3_01.19.2 (or any other RUTEM) onto the device ie following the Debranding Guide, reset this and allow me to start playing with Android?
What about the FlipOut Recovery?
Thank-you,
Dylan.

Wow. Err, okay, I wasn't expecting it to be that easy.
It only took a simple Hard Reset and it's fine - Back to the start as if seting up a brand new out-the-box phone!
In case any other fellow Noobie-Noobs encounters this issue, here's what I did:
Motorola Flipout (MB511) - Step by step hard reset
1/. Switch the device off - Hold the power button for a couple of seconds and then press Power Off
2/. With the device off, open it up, hold the X key and hold down the Power button until you see the Motorola M.
3/. Shortly after, an image like this will appear:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4/. TAP the power button to enter the Android System Recovery menu.
5/. Use the little D-Pad to select the 4th option - Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
6/. Press Enter to confirm.
7/. Confirm you want to reset the device.
8/. After the reset, go back into the System Recovery menu and select the 1st option - Reboot.
You should now have one factory-fresh phone!

how to revive this phone normolly???
Did you mess around with radio rom (phone.bin)?
Try to reflash it with COMPLETE (phone,pda and csc) new ROM, official
if possible.
You said:
"key combined hard reset not work."
That part of device function (battery charging also) is controlled by phone
part of ROM (phone.bin), so, it seems that problem is caused by faulty phone.bin.
Reflash it!

Manuals about flashing omnia (good ones) you should search on modaco

[How To] Flash a custom firmware for SmartQ Ten3 T15

These are the steps explaining you how to flash a custom firmware to the SmartQ Ten3 T15.
Use my How To to create the Custom Firmware.
These steps should apply to any custom firmware for SmartQ Ten3 T15.
Warning : Creating a firmware and changing the files may cause your device to stop working, I won't be held responsible for any damage caused by this.
Flashing your firmware isn't more difficult than rooting the device, if you did that you can do this.
I'll use pictures to illustrate the right options. The recovery is in Chinese so this will make it easier to follow the right procedure.
1. Reboot your device into recovery, by selecting the right option in Android 4.0.3 after long pressing the power button. Or by pressing and keeping the volume down button together with the power button.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You use the volume up and down buttons to move the selection up or down. And you press the power button to confirm an option.
2. Select the second option from the menu. (Flash file from SD card)
3.Select the 3rd option from the menu. (Toggle certificate verification)
An extra line will be added to the bottom half of the screen. Most probably confirming the toggle to switch off certification verification.
4. Select the 2nd option from the menu. (Browse sd card for file)
5. Select the file SmartQT15 you put on the root of your microSD card.
Firmware flashing will start and you can follow it's progress in the lower half of the screen:
Once done the last menu will appear again.
6. Select bottom option from the menu. (Back)
7. Select the top option from the menu. (Reboot device)
Firmware flashing is done and your device will reboot. If you have done nothing wrong your device will start-up normally.
If you have any questions feel free to post below and I'll do my best to answer them, all the above is based on my experience and from what I could find out on the Internet.
If you want to know how to make the firmware pre-rooted contact me via PM and I'll do my best explaining it to you.

[Q] frozen simple touch

Hi guys
hopefully someone can help with this one.
got my simple touch on friday and tried rooting it, without fully reading the instructions and used a micro sd card attached via a mp3 player which did not root the nook successfully
Then tried using the touchnooter image (this time on a correctly attached micro sd card) this got as far as displaying "forever rooted" and got no further - at this stage i could restart the nook using the power & n button combo
finally tried the n2T-Recovery image which started off promisingly, i got the recovery screen waited 10 seconds and tried to restart but have been unable to since have tried various button combos :-
power & n,
power
page down, up & power
these combos have been tried breifly, longer press, press for 30 seconds, release for 10 then press for 10 again.
press power for 10 s -- release -- press again for 10 s -- release ...
in second time nook must be rebooted .
tried that sequence and still no success - thanks for the suggestion anyway
Some more info, i have reconnected the nook to my PC and pressed the power button, after 10 seconds my pc played the "device connect"notes followed 2 seconds later by "device disconnect" during which the screen has not changed. This leads me to think that the nook is not starting properly ?
any ideas ?

[Q] Generic Tablet Problem (Android lying on his chest, doesn't matter what I do)

Hi, I'm not sure if I posted in good thread category, since I couldn't find a thread for my tablet, maybe I should explain why I posted in here:
It's a Generic tablet 703H I suppose, but I'm not sure if that's the model, it is running "Full AOSP on Rk29sdk" I suppose, (at least that's what AnTuTu benchmark told me before) I rooted the device using this and it WORKED, but when I decided to go into a recovery mode (I wanted to install CWM from here) but when I run my tablet with POWER and VOL+ (so I could enter STOCK recovery IF THERE IS ANY) all I got was an android lying on his back with opened chest, since that I can't do anything on it, I turn it off and on but nothing happens, I tried every keys and nothing helped. And when I plug the tablet so it will charge, I do not get battery animation, but yet again the same screen. But later I spotted that before that shows up it flashes with standing android with something blue spinning in his chest (Is it download mode maybe?) So I decided to plug the tablet to my laptop and see what happens. Before it was recignized as "Full" (ADB Drivers which I used to root) but now it showed up for a while as something about Nexus (not sure it google or galaxy) tablet. I am confused because now it again shows as Full. I wanted to flash it because it lags terribly (Android 4.0.4, kernel 3.0.8) and it bugs a lot (like "return" key was staying as "down" key)

If it's not the correct thread category please move it, I didn't find correct place for it by myself
I understand this is not Nexus tablet but still this is what USB drivers installed on my Win7 flashed me about
If it helps - I can use Ubuntu (most of things about computer I do through Ubuntu, yet never about any external devise)
Problem Solved
Fixed tablet with a bootable SD card, if it's needed I can post how I managed to fix it.

A way to unlock hardbricked Meizu Pro 5 ?

Hi,
I've hard bricked my Pro 5. No recovery access, no boot to rom, locked bootloader. After many search i see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/how-to/meizu-customer-service-flash-tools-save-t3447678, but this is bull-****.
I test many manipulations to get something on my phone other than "Bootloader, Locked".
So i dicovered this : Press and holp Vol + and Vol - and press one time power button. We get this :

Hey there. Got the same problem. Tried everything. Nothing happens. Have you got your problem solved yet?
The same problem

Only way to solve this is taking the phone to technical service. Done it myself. Be careful tought, they will try to make you change the entire mother board (280€), but if you insist they will "find a way" to install the correct software in your phone and leave it as if it was new
it is possible to recovery via dongle ... but sn and imei can be lost
Try this thread.
