There is this thing. I have bought this phone not so long ago. Recently, after a night of loading, using for a bit and hiding it in my pocket, I discovered that it "turned off". Thought to myself: "Yo, that is weird." But I also thought that it's probably discharged (but that's impossible!). I took it home and plugged it into my computer. The PC kept playing connected and disconected sounds in short succesion, but the LED on the phone was glowing like it was supposedly charging. I stupidly voided my warranty by rooting and installing CWM (with which I didn't do anything).
So the question is: Is my battery busted or is the phone bricked somehow? Can I do anything about it?
No wait. That's two questions. Anyway. Thanks in advance!
Oh come on! Anybody? I'm in a bad situation here.
Did you flash anything through ClockWorkMod?
Btw have you left your phone simply charging for 1+ hour straight? If you didn't try it. If your phone heats up like (let's say hell for now) then it's probably bricked. Anyway try to turn it on. I have this phone to. If the battery is empty it simply needs to be put on a charging for a while.
And I got the phone to now. Avoid to root mediatek devices that aren't that widely used.
It's a pain to find support for it.
Well, as I said, I didn't do anything with CWM. Although I tried to install a custom ROM and ended up just wiping data. But then the phone worked. Now it's just dark, and, when plugged in, the LED is glowing, but nothing really happens (except for plugged in and out sounds on the PC).
Could it be that I overcharged it?
It's possible you could restore the phone using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407
Here are a couple of backups I found:

I do not know how much it matters on these phones about which carrier or firmware is compatible with each other, so you are on your own for that part. I can not confirm all or even any of the files linked work or will work for you.
If I could even turn on the phone there would be no problem. The whole problem is that the freaking Alcatel won't even go into recovery. It's just black

My understanding is that to get to the mode to make the flash tool work, you have to have it off anyway. Then you load the file in the flash tool and then tool will tell you when to plug the phone in. Read here for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587
It all seems for naught when I can't even get the computer to recognize the phone. Just keeps playing these annoying sound effects (plugged in and out). My guess is that the battery's fried, or maybe just overcharged, because the PC keeps ding donging like the phone was trying to turn on but couldn't. I'll try with a new battery and get back to you.
Well. As I have a replacement phone, and no time to check the battery, I think this thread can be counted as closed, for I see no further developments on this topic. Thanks for trying. Really appreciate it
Sorry! Hate to see a device go down like that. Hope the new one serves you better!

For custom ROM,you need to install custom CWM.I see on your phone's stock CWM.You must re-install stock ROM.Download from Alcatel site Mobile Upgrade S 4.3.1,follow the instructions and re-install.

So,the DHD was running perfectly fine till yesterday,when something strange started happening.The damn thing wouldn't show some widgets(all were non-HTC widgets btw) and a message about the SD card popped up,but I couldn't see what it was saying,as the phone rebooted.After it booted the battery had dropped from about 90% to 10% btw.What was strange?Well,as soon as screen went off,it wouldn't turn on again.Pulled battery,rebooted.The same again and again and again.I thought it had to do with my UV settings.Removed my scripts,rebooted.Still the same.I also removed some ram-optimization scripts I was testing,in case that was the problem.Again,nothing changed,the problem persisted.Then I changed kernels(LordClockan's Sense kernel v4,LeeDroid's kernel v4,RCMix Team's v11 and v10) to no avail.I also changed roms(RCMix3D to LordClockan's 0.8 ICS build and back),but STILL nothing.I even changed recoveries(From CWM 4.0.0.2 to 4EXT Touch 1.0.2 RC1) but it didn't fix the problem,even after a full wipe-format of ALL partitions.I tried removing the SD card and the SIM card in case one of them was causing the problem,but the same happened.
Then I thought "****,let's see what the hell happens".To better explain what happens,when I try to turn the screen back on(Even if it was off for like 1sec) it doesn't turn on.The buttons' lights turn on,but nothing responds.However,I can hear background notifications and stuff.While it's working,it also doesn't reboot or power off when prompted to do so,either through some app or through the power menu.
So,back to what I was saying,I decided to run a logcat to see what happens.But adb won't recognize the device at all.No matter if it's "adb reboot" or "adb logcat" or anything,it says "device not found".
So,what I haven't tried yet is changing radios,but:
i)I'm afraid it may finish it off in case something goes even more wrong
ii)I don't think it's in any way related to the problem
So,before I quit trying and call HTC for warranty purposes(IF I can still flash an official RUU for Christ's sake),do you guys have any ideas?I'm out of ideas right now.AND it sounds hardware related or something(Although I can still transfer files from my PC to the SD card).
Thanks in advance guys.
my phone wouldn't turn back on after a phone call ended, and it turns out the proximity sensor was playing up, so i used the recalibrator from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
this probably won't be the right solution for you, because this isn't the typical problem that the recalibrator solves, your problem sounds very strange. but it might be worth a shot anyway.
you should be able to get in to bootloader to flash a stock rom. If adb and the power menu are both not working, boot in to recovery from inside the 4ext recovery control app or Rom Manager app, then in recovery go to the power menu and there's the option to boot in to bootloader. and since you can put things on the SD still, put a PD98IMG.zip on the sd and away you go.
if that doesn't fix it, it's probably hardware unfortunately
good luck!

No worries. I returned to stock last week for warranty, I flashed this: http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9
from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I used this one because it is easily re-rooted with visionary. So if you flash the stock rom and the problem is fixed you can head back in to rooting land straight away. But unfortunately, if you have to send it to HTC after all, they'll probably OTA upgrade it before giving it back

Thank you dude.Will try and report back.I hope everything goes too well.Or,in that aspect,too wrong in case I can get a new device.
So,after a downgrade to stock 1.32.xx version(the one maatsby posted) it seems to be solved...Strange indeed,but I'm happy!I love this phone.
I'm gonna check whether rerooting will make the problem reappear.I certainly hope not.

Hi Guys!
Just wanna know if there is/are any of you here happened to have a full backup rom of the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH POP C7 (7040E).
512MB memory
4GB internal
8MP back cam
vga front
QUAD Core 1.3GHz
I've been googling around and couldn't find any stock rom for that device.
I also contacted alcatel if they have any stock rom for that device but nothing.
The device is an MT6582.
I tried flashing custom rom out there with mt6582 but not working.
Thanks and looking forward guys
Issue Solved!

I have solved the issue about my phone and made a full backup of it using MTK and I'll be providing link here once it's totally done uploading.
This is for the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH POP C7 (7040E) phone - so not sure if this will work with other POP C7's of alcatel.
And also, I'm going to update this page from time to time of what other custom roms available for this kind of phone since this phone has little to no support at the moment.

If your device is a 7040T (Qualcom) then it is a very different beast from a 7040E (MTK) ... the tool the OP is using is NOT meant for this device. In fact the SOC used in 7040T is a MSM8212 and its bootloader is locked (you cannot get to bootloader mode - only default recovery is allowed if at all) so unless someone finds a vulnerability to bypass the bootloader, we're out of luck.
I have done extensive research on this and thus far there are NO solutions, even to root the 7040T.

Dude , if you want the stock ROM for your Alcatel, just go to Alcatel's own website and download their firmware update software called ALCATEL MOBILE UPGRADE S. I have version 4.3.1 on my laptop. You can update any Alactel phone with its latest STOCK ROM.
You can find the download link here on Alcatel's site: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download/one_touch_pixi.html
So you don't really need to backup your system partition, only your data partition! If you soft-brick your Alcatel phone (which I have done before), you can recover with Alcatel's firmware upgrade tool.

THis is just driving my nuts, all because the phone fell down and started bootlooping.
Need Help with the Alcatel OT 7040E
Hi
i am New to this site as well as new to flashing or even having issues of this nature
so let me explain the issue
i was given this phone as a dead phone due to being dropped turned out to be a loose battery connection but now the phone is alive
here is the score after finally getting the phone to charge the phone fired up it goes as far as stating ( Alcatel onetouch Pop C7 ) on the display then shuts down it then on its own restarts shows the same alcatel logo and shuts down this is a constant loop over and over again
i have found how to get into the android system recovery mode when in this mode it will stay on without any restart and i can freely choose options without any issue
what i have done so far is reset to factory sadly this has not resolved the issue of the constant on and off at startup logo
in recovery mode i see options for restore from ADB , Restore from ADB SD card and restore from ADB cache
also format cache and restore from cache and the last in the list is enable ADB
as i am new to this i would like some instructions or some advice to may point to why the phone is going to Logo and then switching off and on repeatedly if it needs to be flashed could someone help me with the download of a stock rom and instructions to do the flash
to flash the phone i think it needs to be done from the recovery mode because when connecting to my laptop the laptop sees the phone and constantly disconnecting and reconnecting same as the Logo appearing on the phone
for those who can advise or help i thank you in advance
have a nice day all

Hi Lee,
The easiest way to reflash a working system onto your phone is to download the Mobile Upgrade S official software from Alcatel. Their website is www.alcatelonetouch.com. Just search for your phone model. When you find it, select the Support tab and you'll see the download link for Mobile Upgrade S 4.2 there. (Or you can Google search directly for Mobile Upgrade S).
Download, unzip and run the software. Follow the on-screen instructions. It's as simple as that.
Let us know how it goes.

Have you resolved this? If not, boot into recovery mode then do a wipe/factory reset. After the reset, choose to reboot the system now. It would take a while (a couple minutes) to boot up. Does that do the trick.
If your screen still looks scrambled and hangs up, it is possible that your display screen (and in some cases, the touch digitizer) is damaged and needs to be replaced.
These Alcatels are really easy to unbrick.

Hi guys, after a year and a half of running custom roms, I am sick of it. My main problem is that I do not receive SMS messages when they should arrive. I receive them hours after they have been sent. Another problem is that sometimes, I can't be called. My phone doesn't display a call, or being called at all. But somebody is calling me and my phone doesn't say anything. So this is very frustrating because you can miss important calls without you even knowing. And this has been happening to me almost on every rom tried. They all work well for some time, but after they start to screw around and not be consistent.
My question is, how can I install the stock rom from Orange Reyo Romanian (ZTE BLADE Q MAXI) so that my issues will go away? I have cwm, but it seems that the firmware at the zte site is only installable with the stock recovery, not with a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
So yeah, any help would be much appreciated.
just copy the update .zip from zte syte on your sdcard and then install with twrprecovery!
i test it and it work
or you can download a stok backup for spflashtool posted by me on xda for restoring the phone stok rom
search it 2-3 pages back
it has a recovery stok too included

The phone is off. The sp flash tool starts. But after I click download, and connect the phone to the pc, nothing happens. The SP flash tool says nothing.

Sent from my ZTE Blade Q Maxi using Tapatalk
I have installed the drivers. But still doesn't work. Even when the phone is on, SP flash tool doesnt see it. I have windows 8.1. I run your zingerone rom. Maybe it is the problem that even when my phone is on, when I connect the phone, the pc doesnt see it? The pc doesnt see it at all, when i have the zingerone rom installed. SHould I install other rom and then try SP flash tool?
The backup cannot be installed with CWM?
Now, after installing drivers, i get another error. After i click download and connect my phone to pc, SP flash tool sees my phone, but de download bar is red, and after 3 seconds my phone disconects and i receive the error: PMT has changed; it must be downloaded. I have no idea what this means.
EDIT: IT WORKS! I managed to make SP flash tool see my device by flashing it. But, by flashing it, it bricked my phone. So I thought I'm screwed. But I installed the stock recovery from @vaserbanix and at least got the phone to boot, but it was stuck in bootloop. So i downloaded the update.zip from ZTE site and put it on my sd card, got into the stock recovery and managed to install the update.zip. And now my phone has the stock rom and is working flawlessly.
Thank you @vaserbanix my friend for your help. Also, how is your health? Are you feeling well, my friend?
Hi @deepside_dj,
Glad to know that you solved out your problem. I want to ask you, if you don't mind, do you have that problems regarding SMS messages and phone calls before you start installing customs ROM's? I have to ask you this because I received a Orange Reyo(Blade Q Maxi) branded by Orange, with exactly the same issue. In the company were I work, the phone was used internally, for GSM testing especially. And I understand from the test user that was using the phone, that, even if the phone was having the stock ROM on it, was having exactly the same issues sometimes.
For examples, some text messages were received just only when the phone receive a call, even if the message have been send with a few hours before, or something like this.
So, in this case, I'm wondering if actually the custom ROM's are the root cause.
Right now, I'm using the phone for test software development and also as a spare phone. And because of this, even if @vaserbanix have done a great job porting other ROM's for this phone, I already start working on a custom ROM for me to use that is going to be based on the stock one, but much more smaller and without that bloatware preinstalled on it. So I have to know at what to look after. Maybe is not the custom ROM's fault, but just an update or a wrong placed internal command that is interfering with the RIL normal execution with the radio hardware.
Best Regards,
DarKay

When I first got the phone, obviously, it had the stock rom. I used the stock rom for months on end, up until @vaserbanix ported the first rom for this device. While using a fresh stock rom, fresh as in directly from the factory, I didn't have any issues with calls/SMS. All came when they were supposed to. Even after using custom roms, for some time, i haven't encountered deal-breaking issues. Clearly not something as big as missing calls, that don't appear when they should etc. Well, all went good until all of a sudden I didn't receive calls. I was using the MIUI v5 rom, which is my favorite rom. I thought it might be a bug, so I flashed the rom again, but nope, the problem still persisted. Which was odd, since I was using that specific rom for months. After that, I tried many other roms ported by the one and only @vaserbanix until i settled on the Zingerone rom. This was the fastest and most clean looking rom for me, and I was happy that it ran good. Until, the issue with calls/sms not being received reappered. Which really frustrated me, because I lost an important call, without me even knowing it. That is when I had enough, so I installed the stock rom again, with a bit of work, but in the end the install was good.
So now I am using the stock rom, it has been only a day since I installed it, but it seems solid. Only time will tell. If I encounter the same issues, be sure I will report it here!
OK, thanks for the information. I wanted today to take the SIM card from the test operator to make some tests on the phone, to see if I can find something wrong with the card or the phone or at least, reproduce the issues, and found out that the SIM card was replaced. It looks like on another phone was still having the same issues. So in this case, it seems that the problem was with the SIM. I will make some logs on the phone to see if the problems resides also on it, especially now, because I modified and installed one of the custom ROM's build by @vaserbanix. Only the time will tell.
In the mean time, I have a new "toy" (Blade Q Maxi ) so I have to play with it a little bit, but I will let you know if the problems returns, or at list found the root cause of this, because I think you are going to get bored real soon of the stock ROM. See you soon.
I find Stock rom for ZTE Blade Q Maxi on this Site

Hi,
My Mediatek Micromax Canvas Knight A350 is totally dead. Not responding at all to any buttons. No lights or battery indicator is displayed. But some warmth can be felt on the phone.
When I connect the phone to the pc with a USB cable it is detected as MTK USB Port Comxxxx
But when I use SP flash tools to download the preloader...it does nothing. Please let me know what to do...Thanks and God bless you.

Using SP Flash Tool, flash the preloader.bin first.Use meta mode if not detected,all three buttons together while connecting and keep pressed until flashing starts.
If flashing was successful then your phone should at least be able to vibrate when you press the power button or boot if the correct files are present on your phone; else, flash other necessary files to make the phone boot up and start working normally again.
P.s. writing again and again is painful as I'm lazy-ass.
I'm thinking of making a thread about this but again,I'm lazy-ass.
it worked...wow...thanks ...but now it gets into a boot loop

Thanks buddy, the phone started but now it ends into a bootloop. Tried getting into custom recovery and doing a factory reset. It starts and goes all the way through and finally restarts and the same thing again...bootloop....Please suggest what should I do...Thanks and God bless.
In the meanwhile i tried flashing a new custom ROM from xdafirmware.com. But the SP flash tools downloads upto 9.86MB and then the download stops...What could be the reason? Also please let me know if Miracle Box is any kind of solution for these kind of problems! Thanks and God bless.

What did you actually do?
What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!
You can find everything on our blog:

Do you even know A350's battery is non-removable?
The only way you can remove it is by disassembling the device but doing that will compromise with your battery life.It should only be used in worst case scenario and everything else fails to work!

First of all, I apologize for my mistake. It was not a custom ROM but a Canvas Knight Stock ROM... The file name is this...Micromax_A350_V2_040614_KitKat_(by_xdafirmware.com). It's a version 2 (unmerged storage). However, earlier I had flashed a version 3 (merged storage) ROM and since it was constantly giving me trouble I tried to reflash version 2 ROM...But unable to do so...it gets stuck at 9.6MB or 0% in the SP Flash tool.
I tried the format+download option too. But in vain. Guess I am doing something wrong! What could it be? Thanks and God bless.
Btw, I have been through your blog in the past and benefited from the same. Thanks

Version 3 problem...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Version 3 booted well the first time...it went all the way...i was setting it up nicely...and it hung and just stopped. Ever since then I tried to reboot it would not load...the Canvas Knight logo with the sound would come on and then restart or get hung at that point. In short, it would not fully boot anymore except for that once!
So I decided to do away with version 3 and thought version 2 would be fine because that's what was originally on my phone...but now this is the problem...i mean the SPFT gets hung at 0%.
Thanks and God bless you.
On a different note, I would still love to have version 3 if possible since I plan to install a custom ROM...most likely Cyanogenmod....
Latest update...
Latest Update…
I finally managed to successfully flash a Kitakat 4.4.2 vs. 2 (unmerged storage) stock rom…I downloaded the file again from xdafirmware.com and flashed it. There was no problem. The phone has started and its up since the last one hour or so.
Before booting I entered into stock recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition. So far no problem. I have not yet switched on my wifi coz I am worried it might go off again and enter a bootloop.
Battery was 95% when booted...its now 94% since one hour...I have not used the phone at all though...
Now I have a barrage of questions…
1) The IMEI is gone…I know how to get it back. But would appreciate a proper guidance on this…I have tried using Maui Meta 3G ver 6.1 and was successful in restoring my original IMEI numbers. Is there a better way out? Or should I stick to this one? Should I use IMEI&SN Writer?
2) NVRAM WARNING: Err= 0x10 …how do I fix this…I have never tried fixing this before. So no idea whatsoever. I have no backups of the original stock rom. Greatest mistake I ever did.
3) How to restore my original serial number (S/N) of the phone? I have the Original S/N but don’t know how to do it. Also, is S/N being restored a necessary requirement like IMEI numbers since it is linked to the SIM/Network?
4) How to unlock the bootloader? This is the biggest headache. I believe one cannot install custom ROM’s without unlocking the bootloader.
5) What are the best rooting apps? Is SuperSu good enough to root?
6) Which is the best custom recovery for Canvas Knight?
7) Final question, how to go about using this tool Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3
Sorry for the trouble. But I have messed up many times in the last one month with innumerable flashing of the ROM’s and zip files. Now, once bitten twice shy I want to play safe.
So please let me know your thoughts if they are fail proof and time tested. Thanks for all your help. God bless.

Well I hate giving bad news to people but I might know what causing all this.
As you say,the phone booted fine now but you'll likely see random hangs and sudden reboots in using it,to be sure,use it for atleast 2 hrs constantly and then we can proceed further with your questions.
In mean time,check this post:

Well I tried using it for a while...no internet...just going through settings and checking...then I enabled Developers options and connected USB. Tried to check if the phone was listed on ADB etc....but then it went into a bootloop and kept shutting down after periodic bootloops...now its totally down...not responding at all.
Anyway, I think I know how to get it back when everything else fail. Until then stay blessed and don't give up.
God bless.

Hi, Sorry for the sudden disappearance. I really didn't know how to reply to your "HOW"? But I knew there was a CERTAIN possibility of getting the phone back...I call it faith in God. And I have plenty of faith and I believe in the impossible coz I have seen some of the most impossible things happen in my life and around me over the years. So plain hope and faith in God was what I banked on. But I have no logical explanation to give on the phone starting again smoothly. I have been struggling with this phone for the last 45 days. And this is the first time the phone has really stayed put and it got booted in just one go!
Also your signature line was a source of continued inspiration to hit out against all the odds and doubts.
I would now kindly appreciate any help in restoring the phone to full functionality...I mean would love to hear answers for my questions from the previous post.
In the meanwhile, I did a bit of study on the Miracle Box and a tool called ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL_V2.1...
But, I don't want to jump the gun and get going...Will wait for expert advice. Until then God bless us all. Stay blessed. And yes, thanks for all the help. Shalom.

In short, a bit too confused with too much knowledge on hand. Looking for wisdom to apply this knowledge correctly. There could be many simpler ways too!!! Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Okay don't panic!
Clearly your device is fine by hardware stuff so let's fix some myths and problem of yours.
Firstly,this is mt6592 so you don't have to unlock any boot loader stuff.You can just root your device using kingroot or kingoroot(google it).
For more please read out this whole section,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.com/2015/10/rooting-canvas-knight.html?m=1
Now I believe you have root by now. Now all you need to do is get a recovery and as you're on v2 you can find it here,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5W6R0DsDjWTU1o3TEpfWGFsMEE/view
This is philz recovery with OTG support.As you've root just download the IMG file and flash it though flashify,you can find it on Play store.So you've recovery!
Again,these are just suggested methods,you can do all that with other methods too.Also please stop wasting time on stuffs like miracle boxes and etc etc.
Secondly to get your imei back it would be very easy as you've recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-QF5uchBNhbFlfVk1wOEthbms/view
Just flash this file in recovery and everything shld be fine.
Now to fix Nvram error,just extract the folder from this backup zip,

And using any root explorer(I prefer es file manager) go to /data root and replace nvram folder with the folder in this zip
Now the best recovery would be philz recovery for v2 but I greatly suggest you to flash v3 for a variety of reasons and custom ROMs.Yes,you need to shift to v3 to get LP or MM and new updated ROMs though you can still flash available ROMs for v2 which you can find here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/all-roms-link-for-v2.html?m=1
Very less isn't it? That's because storage barrier in v2.
You can find various mods here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/mods.html?m=1
You can find correct stock ROMs here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/stock-rom.html?m=1
Flashing the sim fix above will eventually fix SN too.
And yes many custom ROMs are bundled with SuperSU so you should use that.
To convert from kingroot user to super su use this guide,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ca...ck-switch-kingroot-to-supersu-easily-t3426965
And lastly mtkdroidtools is a good tool and you should definitely have it just in case for backing up stuff and tinkering with ADB.
With all that said,you should join our Whatsapp group for more faster help and updates by messaging me on my Whatsapp No. +919468519959

Edit: writing all this is a pain in ass,at least one thanks is deserved

Clearly your device is fine by hardware stuff so let's fix some myths and problem of yours.
Firstly,this is mt6592 so you don't have to unlock any boot loader stuff.You can just root your device using kingroot or kingoroot(google it).
For more please read out this whole section,

Now I believe you have root by now. Now all you need to do is get a recovery and as you're on v2 you can find it here,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5W6R0DsDjWTU1o3TEpfWGFsMEE/view
This is philz recovery with OTG support.As you've root just download the IMG file and flash it though flashify,you can find it on Play store.So you've recovery!
Again,these are just suggested methods,you can do all that with other methods too.Also please stop wasting time on stuffs like miracle boxes and etc etc.
Secondly to get your imei back it would be very easy as you've recovery.

Just flash this file in recovery and everything shld be fine.
Now to fix Nvram error,just extract the folder from this backup zip,

And using any root explorer(I prefer es file manager) go to /data root and replace nvram folder with the folder in this zip

Hi Ak,
I went through your entire post and more or less got most of the useful and helpful information. I have not gone through all the links and will do so in due course.
I have been on your website and have read quite a bit and was happy to see the dedication and commitment to help people like us.
I am sure the phone like you said is stable and away from hardware issues. I will consider flashing vs. 3 soon. Yes, i agree with you there are more choices for vs. 3. I did peep into the website last week to see the big list of custom ROM's for vs. 3.
Last but not the least, God bless you. Shalom.

What about joining our whatsapp group?
Hi all,
I'm facing a really strange & annoying issue ... I'm running latest OOS version, unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed, root via Magisk. & substraturm theming.
I uninstalled all my overlays, rebooted my phone and boom, here the deal : my phone won't boot at all.
I tried to press the power button for something like 30sec, nothing, not even a vibration.
I tried to reboot in recovery/fastboot via the volume keys + power button, nothing happens.
I tried to charge the phone, maybe I was running out of battery..? Nevertheless, nothing happens ...
I tried to reboot into recovery via `fastboot boot twrp-xxx.img`, but fastboot can't detect my phone as it stay totally powered off....
Anyone get a idea about the how to fix it & how it happend ? It's really annoying as I'm in travel and I don't get any extra phone ...
Thanks all
edit: Ho yeah, I'm running linux & I don't have access to any windows computer
hard brick mode, try msm download tool

Thanks for your reply, I was about to try that.
But after letting my phone cool down for 1h or so; I tried to press ALL the buttons in the same time for 1min or so and guess what, my phone rebooted ... No idea why ...
Where are the custom rom :crying:

You don't want a custom ROM. Fingerprint sensor doesn't work under custom ROMs at the moment.
Also trying to charge with the phone off with Magisk installed will give the perception of a brick.
You will need to jump through hoop to get the device to boot again.
Don't ever try to charge with the phone off with Magisk.

What are you talking about. I charge all the time with my device powered off and I always have magisk installed and never got the perception of a brick like you describe it. And custom rom are all extremely stable for this device fp is the only issue and it's got work being done and its already working on custom in the test groups on telegram. And they is always face unlock which is better than fp anyways.

With Magisk charging with power off will cause the phone to stop at the "you phone corrupt" screen.

LMAO no it won't. Like I said earlier I do this all time with no issues. You have something weird going on with your device.

Actually not. With the latest, I guess one or two releases of Magisk this is now fixed. Magisk forces something other than a normal boot from a patched image. My Essential had the charging while off for a year and this phone up until I installed the latest release.
So you are correct current version of Magisk does not cause the issue.
Another thing which is strange.
Since that bug yesterday I can't connect my phone to the computer to browse the internal DD.
Instead my file explorer (on the computer) display me a unknown dir in which I've got some sh script & window exe (I think they're there to install the op drivers).
No one get a idea of the why & how to fix it to go back to the OG behavior ?

That's odd.... It sounds like a driver issue with your computer more than anything. BUT, do you get an option to change to file transfer mode from your pull down menu? I had an issue where it wouldn't even give me that option, and what actually worked for me was to plug my 6T into a USB 2.0 port on the BACK of my computer. Try these things out.

Also, about the magisk charging thing? I've never tried to charge my phone while it was off with magisk installed, but that just sounds...... Weird!

Yes I get the option to change to file transfer mode. My computer only got USB 3.0 port, I'll try to connect it to a 2.0 when I'm back from my trip. Thx for the tips
@loganville did you try the 2.0 trick ?

Odd. Yeah these newer Android devices are just weird like that! I've been told the Pixel devices are just as finicky as the 6T and I'm sure others out there are as well! Glad you're able to get a connection on Windows though! [emoji106]
After 2 month or so I think I found the reason of the bug : tremble !
The bug occured since I did the last oxygenos update (at the time) - maybe it came from the fact that the update was installed on the second partition !
I gonna try to make the new oxygenos update (which will be installed on the first partition) to ensure that. I'll come back here once it's done !
It was that ! After a update to the last OOS (which was installed on partition A) I can finally access my internal storage from a usb 3 on linux
