Hey guys,
I have an STG S1 with the MT6737T processor and for some reason it started rebooting itself a few minutes after the GUI shows up and everything working fine. This started happening after I disabled the built-in Youtube app in an attempt to delete it completely but in vain.
Then I tried to factory reset my phone which ended up causing it to reboot mid-factory reset. Then somehow I got into the Chinese menu and hit one of the options that said something in Chinese and eMMC in the end. I can only assume it formatted all the partitions on my phone after that. Other menu items in Chinese were for testing different things from the touchscreen to the GPS.
I could not manage to flash anything into my phone using fastboot since it's on a locked state and unlocking doesn't work because I never enabled debugging or developer mode. So flashing a custom ROM using TWRP is out of the way.
I found this stock ROM but it's geared towards a slightly different processor MT6735 and changing the processor in the scatter file did no good. I flashed a couple of other ROMs here and there from totally different manufacturers but did not get any positive results. Some ROMs would just turn the screen totally dark, one of them would light up the screen (still dark and no logo). So I haven't gotten any luck into finding an actual ROM that could work for me.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to try different ROMs from different manufacturers but I am aware that I may risk bricking the phone once and for good but so far so good as it's still accepting "Format All + Download" from the SP Flash Tool.
I'm just sitting here looking at my phone wishing it had anything on it, even if it's a mere Linux headless console. I contacted the phone company and other people to try and get a stock ROM but in vain. I came across this and although it mentions both processors I'm skeptical that it could just be the same stock ROM that I'm seeing around. I emailed them but no response so far.
What can I do to get my phone up and running again?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
I ended up buying this for $9 and it did work for my MT6737T.

I am total n00b to xda forums. I had been reading about this forum since long, but got the interest to join after purchasing a Windows mobile.
My problem:
I have an ASUS P320 (galaxy mini) on which I was trying to install a Windows mobile 6.5 ROM. The process didn't went well and the screen was stuck at "writing to ROM 35%"
Now I am not able to use my mobile in anyways. It just boots up and displays the blue screen, nothing else. Even I am not able to establish an Active Sync connection nor it is showing the storage card in Windows XP.
I cannot do hard reset as the phone is not opening. Also the right soft key+poke reset is showing "cold boot" and nothing else is happening.
How can I recover my phone back in working condition?
Welcome to XDA.
Please read the rules here.
Please post in the correct section only.
Moved to the appropriate section.
Thanks for the heads up on rules and correct section.
Read the rules and will try best to adhere to them.
BTW anyone willing to help with my problem?
Be patient, if anyone has a solution for you they will certainly let you know
You can look around at google too, sometimes they have stuff.
XDA as far as i know does not have a Asus section.
I know I did enough Googling nd then got back here.
BTW XDA has lots of activities related to ASUS (P320) specifically but not any active section. That's sad.
why not try here: http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx?board_id=12&model=P320&SLanguage=en-us i could not find any other good asus forums..
maybe someone will come around, and help you.
Although i don't know much about asus, but it sounds like a bad flash.
Had you hardspl'd your phone before upgraing your ROM ( unless it was a stock ROM ) i suggest stay on the blue screen ( or go to the bootloader, if you know how to ) download a stock ROM and then try to flash it.
BUT, i don't know about Asus and am not reponsible for any damages whatsoever.
Thanks. Your effort is much appreciated.
But I genuinely believe XDA is active and the official forum is almost dead. Anyhow trying there too.
Hey budding android users hope you can settle a debate my cousin has just brought a used touchpad of Craig's list
And he's paranoid about the rom that's installed might be infected He's talking both web os and ICS must be infected and loaded with spyware malware etc etc
I said its impossible but he said how would I know and I was stumped as I did not have an answer
The operating systems are web os and android cyanogenmod ICS
He wont use any banking sites or email clients or calendar contacts Saying they will access his personal information
How do I ease him into not worrying? Ps he's also noted a Chinese app at the bottom of the apps in ICS and says it must be spyware as it say it has access to personal information and network access
He said when he tried to delete it it said are you sure you want to delete a system app
Im writing this on his behalf help me if you can I was going to suggest a full rom flash and web os flash I think using web doctor from what I read up on
And someone can you assure him cyanogen os is not loaded with virus etc and they can be trusted
Anyway thanks yo
It isn't impossible for it to be infected, but would be unlikely. Having said that ... if you bought a second-hand PC from Craigslist would you trust the OS and apps that were installed, or would you wipe the hard-drive and start from scratch? The best bet would be to do some research on here and flash a new ROM of his choosing.

Thank you for your prompt reply Simon sound advice I guess I will be helping him flash the rom wipe and start fresh as you recommend
Btw would you mind in providing the correct links for both android for touchpad and how would you also be kind enough to provide me with a link or a video tutorial of all trusted source on how to reinstall web os
Please understand I am a complete dummy when it comes to these things would appreciate your help to the fullest it's not that I will not search my self but would just like the correct and safest roms
Btw how would you check if the installed version of web os is indeed the original web os and not a cracked rom of web os and the same with the android os
Would as factory restore not be sufficient enough in these case could I look up version number of a series number anything to verify to him it ismthemlegit software anyway this will safe me from going to measures of reinstalling rom I not done it before and really scared I will brick his device and get blamed for it

Read and use search button.
Don't wait til the more senior members pounce on you for asking the "Which is the best ROM" to install. Read, read, read and don't do anything until you are comfortable in what you are doing. Most ROM thread will have feedbacks already so you are not going in blind. Again, reading will get you a lot faster in helping your friend. That said, it doesn't mean he'll trust this new ROM that you will flash. He will jave to read here too.
That said is there a "System settings" when you hit home button? If there is, look for "About" there should be some info there.
Good luck and hope you get your friend's tablet working.

Thank you and Thread closed.
There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
For ROM issues please do mention in your post about:
ROM name
ROM version and base
kernel version and its settings
any mods applied on top of it
flashing "style" aka dirty or clean
...and be sure you have asked before on the ROM thread unless you have less than 10 posts on XDA
Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 (coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! No question is stupid in this thread.
I feel that a little OT is healthy to the success of this type of thread. The people here who help the most will develop a comradery therefore OT is allowed within reason. Common sense will be applied ..
Hi,
First of all happy new year.
I own an Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact LTE (SGP621).
Android lollipop 5.1.1
Build 23.4.A.1.264
Now I like to install LineageOS to it.
I'm absolutely new to this one so I need some help.
What I already managed to do.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the filesystem with kingroot.
On my Laptop I have fastboot and adb running and I can access the tablet.
Now my problem is that I cannot get the device into recovery mode to wipe the tablet and to install LineageOS.
When I try to flash TWRP via fastboot, all seams to be fine, but I cannot boot the device into recovery mode.
I would appreciate very much if someone could point me into the right direction what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.
Heya, no expert here but have you held the correct button combo to reboot into recovery mode? Was it volume up and power? Sorry not used z3 in years.
I've come with a new/old user question...
I have a broken z3 (screen smashed and back in pieces with some missing) and a semi broken z3(3/4 of screen works and back is just separated but mostly whole).
I want to use them as cameras to monitor equipment, but need them to switch on when charged. I found a stackoverflow linking here hinting I modify the charge boot script, but it was z3c. https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ower-on-android-when-the-charger-is-connected
I'm unsure what os to install, and which twrp version matches etc, because really I just want a 4k IP camera.
Currently running official OS, ewelink camera app and teamviewer and about to try altering fastboot power on option.
Before I continue to the point of this thread, I just wanna say hello, and as this is my first post on XDA, I'm sorry if I miss any important information. If you want to help me, just ask and I'll tell you as quick as possible. Now to the problem.
My Matrix Smartphone D4090(apparently a chinese ripoff off HTC) with Jelly Bean on it, rooted by Kingo, broke down when I used the ROM Manager to change the boot animation. By broke down, I mean it got soft bricked. All I can do is turn it on(which leads me to nowhere), use the chinese recovery or the "No command!" recovery. I tried factory resetting on both ways multiple times, but nothing happened. As I don't have a backup, I'm pretty much f*cked when it comes to the stock ROM. So, can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop?
Phone specs(as much as I remember, it got removed from the shop, so information may lack):
512MB RAM
1GB ROM
1.0 GHz Dual Core
Jelly Bean Android
Camera 2/0.3 MP
Apps installed before the bootloop(again, information may lack because my memory isn't great):
Xposed Framework
MyDogs
ROM Manager(Clockwork&the one with the golden wing on the icon)
Facebook Lite
APUS Booster
Kingo SuperUser
Titanium Backup
Skype
Don't remember anything more before the problem, sorry. I'll edit if I remember more.
So, to summarize the question:
Can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop/soft brick?
Thanks for reading this post if you did, and it'd be VERY appreciated if you could offer useful information on these questions. Again, thanks.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. If your phone has a removable battery, you could try to disconnect that battery for a short while then put it back, as that procedure sometimes helps "reset" a misbehaving device, but there's no promises. There is no forum specifically for the Matrix Smartphone D4090 but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. Since your device is not widely used, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I'll ask around to get some extra information. I put the battery in and out multiple times when I noticed it won't boot up.
I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Although there are some guides that could help you solve your problem, none of them seem to have working links for you to download and use.
Because of this, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
