[Q] Xoom files doesnt change

Hello guys,
i got a serious and frustrating problem here.
A few days ago my xoom was stuck on the M screen, so I used a thread in the forum and recovered it.
It solved myh problem back then, but since I had 3.2 before this and the solution injected me with Android 3.01 my problems started to show themselves.
the first one is that
<b> Through Fastboot, RecoveryMod, ADB </b> and any other way you can Imagine to install a new ROM or even remove or create a file,
All of them show success message but when I check them out I see no changes.
i tried fastboot and Recovery to install nearly every ROM,Recovery and bootimage in this site but so far it was wild goose chase.
so I want to ask if I'm doing anything wrong or if you need any more information here, but please help me with this

wow I cant believe it, All these masterminds here and no answer to my distress signal??
Guys I am so in trouble and this is the only place I hoped to get answered.
I can provide you with more info if you need, but please dont say I'm on my own here.
all these years this forum was the last hope for me.
i know I'll get my answer here one day

You are not being very clear about what you have done,, but I'm assuming that you reinstalled the stock image that got you back to HC 3.01. Can you see if you are able to get OTA updates to get you back to at least 3.1, or 3.2 if possible?

If that's my problem forgive me please, Ive written that post in 3:00AM
for the sake of clearity I should add some info:
1. I even tried stock ROMs but you see I cant even flash them (Not from Recovery nor Fastboot) the steps seem successful : it opens the package,it installs them and it says everything was a success. But when I restart the device I see nothing has changed.
2. OTA updates are the same, they keep downloading and when the sysem reboots to recovery to install them it cant find them.
3. You dont believe it if I say even files and programs that I remove from device by my hand(Android OS) are back after the first restart.
And you see it's dark magic! everything from a file to a partition are back by one reboot. I dont know what should I call it but I havent seen anything like it on the whole Internet.
So seems like I should make a competition for the xda experts here
Can you publish it so all of them can see it?

Actually, I have seen someone with the same problem here on this forum, but I can't recall exactly what the solution was.
Can you describe, step by step what you are doing, what cable you are connecting to your pc with, etc?

That would be relief to know this could be solvable.
I will look more too.
As for your post I must say:
1. I plug the Xoom to the PC using the included cable
2. I start the xoom and start fastboot
3. on the PC system has the drivers and completely knows it
4. I start with SDK:
I. Fastboot oem unlock (Completing onscreen instructions and reboot device)
II. Fastboot mode again I use Fastboot flash boot boot.img
III. Continuing with Recovery,System
IV. Rebooting the device anything is the same.
My ROM is unchanged by the process and keeeeeeeeps giving the damn error of System process error please submit
5. And with ClockworkrecoveryMod I have the stock ROM on my sd card.
I. I choose install zip from sd card.
II.Choose the correct zip file and start flashing.
III. Choosing Wipe Data/Factory reset will take the device into a complete hang. unless I first use the mount page to mount the System/Data
IV. I reboot the device and ..... you know nothing changed.
so thats my story.
Still hope to find something about it.

Thanks...that was helpful. But now I want to know the following:
Were you rooted before the trouble started?
What did you do to recover?
If rooted, what version of CWM recovery did you have installed? Did you do a nanadroid backup? (I guess the answer is no, because you could have just restored with that).
What recovery are you accessing when trying to flash a zip file?
If you can answer these questions I will continue to wrack my brain trying to recall where I saw that thread.
Edit: please check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370312
Some of what I said to him may help you .

I was thinking of may be the userdata partition is corrupted and I gotta find a way to flash it completely.
Somehow I used Fastboot utility to do this and after saying Success, Nothing changed again.
Do you know any other way to physically do this job?

Bricked OP2 after flashing Nexus Stock ROM

Bricked OP2 ...
Hi all
I bought the oneplus 2 4 days ago.
I rooted it, installed twrp and flashed nethunter2.0 CM12 then wiped cache , well the flash didn't go very successfully as the os still oxygen but i had all applications from nethunter installed and fully functional.
I decided to use the nethunter installer provided by the official site but not including the onplus2 version, i included the custom rom in replacement of the choosed one
.. but accidentally in the process of this tool it flashed stok for nexus which completely bricked the phone... nothing works, not boot no charge no sound...
I plugged again the phone and pressed for 20 seconds the power + volume up button and i got the bulk usb driver as it was a oneplus one .. i changed the driver settings to accept the unsigned drivers and updated the unkown device to the qualcomm 9008 ( as it was like a oneplus one ) .
The issue is that oneplus two has a Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 and the version i found for ColorOS is only for MSM8794 .. so i couldn't do anything
please can anyone help me?
any hint please?
Thank you in advance

If you flashed a ROM that's not for you're phone you're more than likely screwed

Could you try the following:
1, plug the phone back in recovery/fastboot mode
2, Open Computer Management and delete the drivers the OS finds for the phone
3, Download the ADB driver tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Try follow the steps and let me know if u get the drivers needed for the recovery
If the tool on the above link dont work, try this one: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi

Thank you for your response, the issue is that it's hard bricked, so no recovery mode no led , nothing ..
i uninstalled the drivers ( even that i had the adb working before ) and the device is detectable now only with as QHSUSB_BULK
the installation of any adb usb driver don't change anything, only qualcomm usb drivers work ( i have the 9008 only but i'm think it's not compatible with OP2) i could manually change it to adb ( mobistel Cynus f4 ADB interface ) but nothing new..
Help plz

Two problems here. The first problem is that you didn't wipe properly when flashing Nethunter, that's why you ended up with Nethunter apps on your stock ROM. When flashing a ROM you must perform a full wipe, this consists of system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. This isn't what bricked your phone though. We know what bricked your phone; flashing a ROM for a completely different device. I'm not sure why you would flash a ROM from another device, maybe due to inexperience, but that's the last thing you should be doing, as you now know. Don't use the recovery tool that you have, it isn't for your chipset, it will only make matters worse. I honestly don't think there's any way to revive your device, you've pretty much rendered it useless. I'd strongly suggest you do a lot of research before deciding to mess with another phone, if you don't know what you're doing then don't do it. Venturing into unknown lands like this only ever ends in disaster.

Thanks for your response.
I made a full wipe with Twrp ( as mentionned in your tutorial ) and al steps run without issues.
The issue is that the next day i used the nethunter install tool instead of manually installing, in the steps for one plus one ( not oneplus 2) i mentionned the specific rom which can run on the phone but suddenly when i pushed next it was flashing stock for nexus ( and yes it's in the steps of oneplus1 :/ i verified ) , well i know that it's inadmissible and can brick it seriously
now i have the bulkusb when linked to windows8 and pressing on poweron+volumeup, what do you recommend please? there is no compatible driver for snapdragon 810?flashing to colorOS won't solve the issue please?
Thanks in advance

Well flashing ColorOS using the tool you have will attempt to flash ColorOS for the OnePlus One, because that tool is not for your device. As I said, don't use it, it's not for your device so it will only do more harm. I don't know if there's a recovery tool for the Two yet, I certainly haven't seen one.

I just can say, your device is not hard bricked and will be recoverable.
You just need to be a bit patient. For the OPO, there was the ColorOs emergency recovery available (which helped me already 2x unbricking my OPO after I compiled a faulty kernel).
I just have not yet seen something similar for the OP2. But as you get the bulk_device still recognized via USB, this means the Qualcomm emergency boot loader is still intact and once the recovery stuff leaks somewhere, you will be able to fully recover your OP2.
Don't ask me when this will be available, think it also took weeks for the OPO before it was posted somewhere.
All the best!

It probably isn't the smartest idea in the world to recommend using a recovery tool from for an entirely different device unless you're 100% sure it's safe, which it probably isn't.

It's Qualcomm tool, but sadly OP2 is new device and there are no guides specific to OP2. He probably can resurrect his phone using QHSUSB_BULK device(*1)
EDIT: (*1) - It depends on correct driver and firmware files (images)

Yes, I'm aware that there is nothing specific available for the OP2. My point is that you're not even sure if this isn't going to damage the device further, let alone even help in any way.

His device is almost dead and this kind of damage is not covered by warranty. I think in this situation is not much to lose

Just to assure you that the hard brick issue on OPT is completely curable since I've revived two OPTs. No panic needed. I will update the complete procedure as well as the necessary files later today.

His device is not almost dead, it's in a bricked "like" state right now but it can be easily fixed with the correct tool. What you're suggesting is not the correct tool for this device at all. If you're comfortable with being so reckless with someone else's device, good for you, I'm certainly not.

I know you were trying to help, but that advice is the wrong advice. I don't want/need to delete your post. My point here is to try to help you to understand why giving advice when you're not 100% understanding the situation properly isn't a great idea.

P9 Lite booting lock

Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.
So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.
*Edit* I found stock rom for my phone here in the fórum, but it says i need to have stock recovery but i have the TWRP recovery. Is there any way that i can do it, with that recovery?
*Edit 2* In Erecovery, when i try to download it says "Getting package info failed"

First of all... Why don't you have a backup in TWRP? ALWAYS back up your stuff before doing ANYTHING in TWRP.
Second: there is an option for factory reset within the EMUI system itself. Absolutely no need to mess around in TWRP for something like that. Of course you can "factory reset" in TWRP but this can also wipe your system which then requires you to flash something.
To your problem:
Since I luckily was not forced to flash a stock firmware yet, some more information would be nice.
In which format does the firmware come (link to where you downloaded it)? TWRP can handle .zip files. So if it comes as a .zip file, you can try flashing it through TWRP (really depends on what you downloaded!)
If you only need stock recovery, try accessing TWRP with your phone plugged into a PC.
This way it normally fires up the stock eRecovery.

Hi, yeah, i should have done a backup, thank you for the advice. The firmware i used is this one www .stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-marshmallow-firmware-b100/ - i found it here, and a user used it to, not sure why, but he says that it worked.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, because i'm new to this. The TWRP boot, but i can't get my phone to get recognized by the huawei software, not sure if it need to. Even with the drivers installed, it only connects if the phone is on the menu.

Hmm maybe best way is to send the user that made it work a PM and maybe he can provide you a guide on how to do it.
And maybe he or you can then provide a guide here on how to do it.
This device is rather new and the forum is building up so there is a lot of work to do and a lot of things have to be worked around.
Hope you can fix it, like I said, I cannot really help you properly since I never had the problem and therefore do not really understand what's happening on your device.

hi, thank you for the reply. In fact i have solved the problem few minutes ago, and was thinking on do a quick fix tutorial or something like that. Because it's really fast, just need to do the right way.

Always have a backup of your fresh system on TWRP. Then whatever happen just restore it whenever you think you messed up your device and you should be fine ALWAYS.

how to enable Exfat for sd cards on Walmart Onn Tablet (10.1 inch w/ keyboard)?

Hi,
This is my first time trying to root a tablet but managed to unlock the bootloader and install magisk + Edxposed, but was unable to find a module that enabled exfat for the sd card.
Currently it only reads Fat32 formatted cards but I would like to load a 10gb file on there that the device can read.
Any ideas how to go about this? will flashing a custom kernel/ rom help me with this?
All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I believe you'd need something like vold-posix, along with a version of magisk modified to inject it
But vold-posix is for Android 8.1, although I believe there is a modified 9 build for Pixels.
I'm not even sure if anyone has gotten any custom roms working on any of these yet, but if they have, might be your only option.

Thanks!
As of now I think I bricked it....
I messed around and accidentally erased the system partition, tried to fix it by flashing the image posted here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...eral/stock-stock-backups-images-otas-t3998227) and now the screen won't turn on, no recovery mode, no adb..... the device is still detected through the SP flash tools though.
I think the image I used wasn't complete - can anyone upload a complete working image (including a scatter file) I don't care if it's stock or custom, just need something working on the device.
Thanks all!

Is it still detected by the computer? That's really all you need to flash the ROM. I would be careful not to overwrite or format the unit-specific data on the emmc, like nvram, proinfo, persist, etc. I hope those did not get corrupted on your device.

Appreciate all the help here! I did follow that guide but I believe I messed up when I deleted the internal storage so the flashing did not work...
Either way I have another one to play with as these were super cheap on black friday - does anyone have any ideas for my original question?
I don't mind flashing a custom rom if anyone knows of one that works with this device.

@rachelld, I don't understand what you mean by "deleted the internal storage" (I don't think you can delete the emmc chip ), but these tablets are basically unbrickable as long as you have a backup or at least the device-specific areas remain in the ROM. There is also no secure boot to speak of.

@diplomatic Have no idea what I did but at one point I did hit a Chinese screen and clicked clear Emmc now that you mention it... (At least that's what Google translate told me it meant....)
I am left with a device that won't turn on at all, sp flash tools claims that it flashed successfully but still no response from the power button

@rachelld, what about connecting it to the wall charger?

Nothing doing, no sign of life. Tested the charger with another device to make sure it's working

Well no, if you did erase the emmc, then the stock Rom backups shared will not have enough data for you to fully restore from.
And it is not know what partitions can be shared between devices. For example. Secro has device specific data on it. Nvram , also.
So if you have multiple devices. Follow the wwr readback process and fully read back all the partitions from one that works. And flash it back to the bricked one.

That's the factory mode, the clear eMMC option should just be another factory reset option.

Somebody Could Save My Nokia-6(TA-1021) Please?!

I flashed in an incorrect firmware on my Nokia 6 and it now goes into a mode where it boots properly (MIUI) but the screen doesn't work properly (the drivers don't correspond at all), I was able to go into 900E mode properly before but now I can only go into the system.
I have tried brushing in the bottom by shorting the data cable (how the engineering cable works) but it does nothing, it still boots into the system normally.
Is there anything else I can do to save it now?
I used a translator, some words may be a bit strange sorry ....
But thank you for taking the time to help me out!

Hey, so you tried to flash a rom that only has the same CPU? If i remember correctly there are somewhere on the internet tools to recover your Nokia device, although i can't remember how they are called, if i have the time i can look it up and provide them here. Once needed them for myself to recover my device.
