I have a U8 smart watch (Real, not knock off). I have tried many different computers and operating systems. I can not get it to upgrade to FN1-2.v008. I always says "S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)" I am at the end of my nerve with the darn thing. I'm not pressed if it don't update, i just want to know to stop trying or do something else.
Thank for reading. Thanks if You help!!!!!!
Me too,can't flash

Is there way to Flash the htc with an untouched W7Phone os? I got my from Telus and i would like to remove the stupid screen that appears when you turn the phone on..
Is this even possible? It seems that there are no possibilities to customize W7 phone, i mean good system, but with no hacking option won't go far...
give it some time.
It's a completely new OS, it is going to take a while for people to hack it.
Rest assured though, people are working on it.
Something will come out eventually.
Hello all; apologies in advance if this is retreading old ground, but I couldn't find anything about this on the forum as is.
So, while taking some video the other night, my Razr M (all recent software/OS updates, stock software + commercial apps , no flashed ROM/no root/hell, I wasn't even using GoLauncher anymore) decided to freak out on me. By the end of the night, it got itself stuck on booting, and by the next day, it's more or less bricked. Called, got my replacement phone from Verizon, but before I ship this off, figured I'd plug it into the PC and see if there was anything I could do to salvage data -- most things are backed up, but the video/things from that day obviously aren't.
So, no screen. When I plug in, I get the little green light intermittently. For fun, I tried getting to a boot screen (Vol down/Vol up/Power), and now I have this fun thing where my PC tells me it's installed "Fastboot SMQ S" drivers, and is "searching preconfigured folder drivers". Every few seconds, the phone's light will be green, a few seconds later, it will go off. Likewise, my device manager keeps trying to recognize a Human Interface Device, and now and then Windows tells me a connected device has failed. (Once every now and again it tells me it can't recognize it, for about a half second.)
I should note that at no time during any of this does the screen on the phone itself give me any sort of image or feedback.
This leads me to think there's still something inside the phone fighting to work -- as stated, I don't need it to get back to functionality per se, but if there's enough left to work with to at least pull data off of it before it clinks out, I'd be quite happy.
This seemed like a question for the XDA folks, even though it isn't mod/dev related, because you guys are usually the forum I read when I have questions, as you all seem to really know the insides of the phones and systems. If there is a better forum/place for asking this question, please just let me know. I'd be grateful for any sort of advice/insight you may have.
Thank you, and have a great afternoon!
p.s. I assume, based on other similar threads, that the whole "stealthily open the case, yank out of the flash and kitbash it into my pc while somehow not voiding the warranty" route is unfeasable/undoable. If this is not the case, I'm game for that. I'm not a phone dev, but I've seen the inside of an electronic device or ten in my time, so I might be able to pull it off.
Hi looking for some help please, after a small root snafu I have had to (I think) reinstall Lollipop, earlier today my phone went flat and after plugging it in to charge and turning it on it got stuck on the flashy samsung splash screen, after some googlefu I figured bootloop so I held down the power button until the first Samsung Galaxy S4 screen popped up then I released it and pressed the down volume key and the "Don't install custom OS" screen popped up so I pressed the up volume key and the downloading screen popped up.
Anyway that was about an hour ago so I'm thinking it's poked but I don't want to permabrick my phone by interrupting the installation so I need some advice on what I do now, anything constructive would be massively appreciated, cheers
It's not downloading anything. If you want to install something, you have to do it yourself. These smartphones are not that smart to unbrick themselves

Ye I'm an egg, I realize now after a bit more google-fu that I was in the wrong place for some reason I thought it was actually downloading the OS hahaha.
Anyway now I'm here and after actually doing some research rather than just kingo-root I have decided on an action plan. However if I may be so bold, to a noob this site is quite daunting so if someone could point me to a good place to checkout some forum favorite "building block" rom's, thinks like bloat removers, alarm clocks that run off system volume not media volume (grrrrr!) things of that nature it would really help a fella out.
So again any help would be massively appreciated as I am a raging noob and this is my first ever proper name brand phone and from what I have read roming is the best way to get the most out of it. Cheers
Hi XDA Developers. I'm newbie here so I want to explain my problem as far I it is possible.
Starting from the beginning:
On lonely afternoon I was watching a YouTube (CPU usage approx. 1-5% I think. No multitasking.) and accidentally my smartphone turned off
(It was a matter of milliseconds).
After seeing this, I tried to restart my beloved phone,(In my country it has the best money/performance ratio.)
but nothing happens.
Next step is to read about Recovery Mode/Factory Reset mode, but nothing works.
After that I connected G2 to computer with Windows(R) Operating System. Guided by the Masters of Android Operating System(XDA-Developers of course ), searching for QHSUSB, but unfortunately nothing shows(I was a little upset, because I don't found a similar thread).
So I want to ask you Dear Masters. What next to do?
Many thanks for help.
PS. I used a Desperate ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-desperate-rom-t3437472 and Lambda Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/kernel-lambda-kernel-t3270424
Thread bump.
EDIT: I read about hard brick issue resolve on: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404, but nothing happens.
Just last week my G2 turned off in the middle of writing an email.
It no longer charges, turns on, or responds in any way. the LED never comes on when I plug it in, and my computer doesn't detect in. it is basically a paperweight.
Did the same thing happen to yours?
I also tried everything I could in the "UNBRICKABLE" thread but I could never get it to turn on in any way. Either shorting the capacitors is much more difficult than I thought., or my phone is forever dead.
One guy in the thread seemed to think he was better than everyone else, and seemed to think he knew how to 'truly' unbrick the LG G2, but he didn't respond to my email, and his account is currently 'disabled' ( aftabalam8c2), and all of his youtube videos are no longer listed... so i guess that's a dead end, maybe you could try him? The thread is filled with other rude people thinking they know better, but none of them really have anything concrete to contribute...
I tried shorting the caps for about 5 hours so far, but I haven't gotten anything to happen, and I've pretty much given up... Perhaps someone with more experience will chime in, but for me, i am back to using my old iPhone 4
well Yeah.. so i bought this stick just now on ebay thinking it should be good enought to give away for streaming some live tv and so on, but
this had obviously the WIFI problem and there i was..
Not beeing able to use WIFI i started to search for different roms and after a couple days constantly searching HOW TO- and downloading different ROMS and watching youtube on how to flash i set up to the task once again..
Beeing able to flash both Nvidia tablets, Samsung Telephones, and Xiaomi i felt confident that i would be able to fix this..
But no, i had a couple different roms that started up With start screen but then that was it, nothing more i couldnt get past start boot logo on either of the 3 roms i thought was correct so i startd to search for same chip roms as this has the 3229 rockchip and the AS something number wifichip..
But then after flashing With a unknown rom it wouldnt start up again or even get recogniced by the computer usb again..
I tried the reset button, i tried shortcutting pin 6-7 and most likely all other as well but no Luck..
There is a blue light but its only halfway as Bright as when the stick was ON and working.
So its like its stuck in some low Power recovery or i dont know..
At least it lights up when i plug it in.
this is the stick With the red "plastic antenna"
Its not an antenne after all by lokking at it but maybe it serves some purpose of making People think its an antenna..
Any suggestions will be apreciated as now i consider it as Waste and after just spending 35 USD on it i would like it to at least get it back so i can sideload some games on it and give it away rather than putting it in the trashcan..
I attach link to the crap i bought so you get the idea of what it is and to also avoid..
Thank you all for all help!!

Hi.
I think I have the same device as you. And also I tried to flash another rom without success, so until I find a good rom, its just a small brick.
I also been in the same situation as you, but you have to short pins 7-8 to revive. Its the pins facing the middle of the device, and counting from the device edge/side.
Good luck. If you find a working rom for it, let me know
No, i have had no luck. Piece of **** device.
Got 80% refund from seller after a couple weeks of complaining.
Just throw it away and buy a ZAPPATI media player or a Nvidia shield if you dont use any 3D.

Hi again.
If you ever revive your dongle, you can get a working rom from the following link:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rockchip-based-tv-players/rk3229-devices/firmware-roms-tools-bg/623420-mk809iv-rk3229-bricked-how-to-unbrick?p=646882#post646882
It worked for me
Thanks. I will try. Any tips in how to revive it??
I also have an mk809iv. I couldn't get developer options to show after tapping build number but it said "no need you are already a developer" (I assume its preunlocked?) I got bored and decided to flash a rom. I have the rockchip factory tool and rockchip batch tool. I tried flashing an update and the problems began lol
OK..... The stick now doesn't have a blue led on AT All. Tried original mains power source different USB cables different ports on laptop etc.
When I connect it to the TV it doesn't show up on the hdmi. Have I really fried it properly ?
Is there a way to use command on pc or adb shell or something to unlock the bootloader. In batch tool I can see the device after shorting pin 6/7 method but when I load firmware and start to flash then it comes up with failed at boot every time and on different versions of the tool.
I rooted the device before with King root (not king o root) and flashed supersu via rom installer app. Assuming that developer options are open by default, the device should be rooted now...... Right? ?
Anyway is there a way to uninstall all the software and reinstall the manufacturers firmware via the pc ? I have included pics of the board, but when looking at other people's pics the have a lot more chips and nand chips etc mine has one chip on the back and on the other side what I presume to be a heat sync (look like a bit of a tin can
Lol)
I have been on many forums for about 48hrs straight now ? and still can't find answers *sigh*
Recap:- 1 is it fried
2 if not can I sort it via pc
3 HOW?! lol
One last thing, would it run on cyanogenmod 11 ? it's an android device running kit kat and my gingerbread S2 is now on cm11 or are the internal "gibbons" different ?
Many thanks to anyone who can lend me a hand ??
