[Q] totally bricked a500

I have a fully bricked Acer A500. It works only APX mode. It isn't rooted and there isn't USB debug...
I tried repartitioning with the Badblock (A501.bat) but it didn't work. I get an error message, when it tried to format the partition 2 (BCT): BCT write failed.
After that I tried A500 APX flasher. It didn' work too. Same error in the debug window.
After that I tried manually upload the bootloader, boot image, ...etc. The error message was same. (Downoad sucessfully. BCT write failed)
I tried to use the root-3.2.1-V4 DotNetDetecter.exe but the issue was same....
Of corse I have UID and SBK.
Does anybody have any idea?
I'm not understanding it!

solved
ISUE solved!
It was a hardware problem. The flash memory chip's solder was broken. I resoldered it. After that it works again!

Nice work m8, I think I can safely say, you're one of kind....I've not heard of anyone else attempting this fix u should edit the title to reflect yr tabs new found status...like mmc chip fault repaired...there are a couple of dozen folk i know of who would probably attempt this....dont spose u happen to have photos of said fix????

If I understand the A50x service manual correctly, the eMMC is a BGA chip. This is going to be a real hassle for anyone to work on that doesn't have a hot air repair station available.
Having spoken with Acer about my failed A501, they are not interested in a warranty repair, even though its only 14 months old. The EU 24 month warranty only applies if I can prove that the fault existed at time of purchase, which obviously I can't.
They want £55+ just to look at it and then presumably much more if I want it repaired. As it's a 64GB motherboard, the costs would be very high, so I am interested in a DIY repair. I have nothing to lose.
Does anyone have an ICS (4.0.3) EUU for the A501?

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 hard brick

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.

Send back t store and thel t workers that just whont turn on.Dhont thel that is rooted or somthing
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.

Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

that seems very useful, but to use it i would have to be in download mode atleast right? problem is i cant even turn on phone to get into download mode
didnt go jbhifi today had to fix my rims instead LOL, trying other solutions and finding a spare battery to see if its just that... maybe then it will beable to atleast boot in download mode

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked

Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.

same issue
My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

He probably means this: http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable
This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

hey thanks for the reply,
no as the phone is hard bricked its 100% unusable, if it would even switch on that would be fantastic.
its more complex than soft brick.

im having the same problem... is your note alive again?

Return it and claim warranty, tell them that your phone suddenly went off and that you don't know the reason. They may replace the board for you.

wow thats sad

Then it's up to you to convince your client to return it to Samsung for warranty. As for recovering his data, that is the hard part.

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

hi sorry way over my head
this was back in October. I tried using an unbrick.img for the sm905 N3 Flashed to microsd and I was supposed to just
put in the sd card in my phone so it could boot into download mode but was unsuccessful as I needed an unbrick.img made up for my device
model sm9005. hope that helps.

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).

How About Root?

I know it is still early, but any ideas how to get root?
I just tried the following method without success (check details in the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096)
maybe someone else might try it, to double check.
furthermore, I'm hoping to get an answer from the author / developer if it might be possible in the future.

ok, seems like the method above is outdated!

To whom it may concern (my English is not so good you should just try to get the meaning from the context )
I don't think this is a valid way for the Yoga Book. I compiled the dirty cow Exploit for the Yoga Book but it does not work. I used this code to execute it on the Yoga Book : https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195/blob/master/dirtycow.c .However this does not work on the Yoga Book : It will either not trigger the expected result to be able to overwrite an RO file or the yoga book just reboots.
There are a couple of developers also confirming that the existing android dirty c0w exploit code does not work on their intel tablets.
So we need somebody with more skills to modify the exploit c code for the intel tablets or another exploit. .....
If somebody has a link to an intel exploit I will test that.

does anyone know if it is possible to dump the bootloader and or recovery without root access?
it would greatly help to build a custom rom.
i was searching a lot but couldn't find an answer or a way how to do it.
or is there any other source out there, where we could get a full stock rom???

Ok, now that I got hands on a flashable stock rom update with the images of recovery and boot partition I 'dare' to port cwm. Honestly, I've never done sth like that and my experiences are litte, so my hopes are actually low.
If anyone can and/or would like to help, this would be highly appreciated.
If it works, it will definitely take its time.
Hope for the the best and plan for the worst.

hey there,
looks like I got TWRP working. It's definitely an amateur's work and I'm still not sure if everything works as expected, but so far it looks quite promising.
By now I was able to to backup and restore.
At the moment I'm trying to flash su - but without luck so far, it either hangs with a black screen when booting or root isn't installed properly.
So, I will play around with it for a while and report back soon.
Keep your fingers crossed.
