Now my phone makes the start up sound but i have no display at all. All black with some flashing here and there. I can hear the start up sound, but screen stay black. Any advice, once again :laugh::fingers-crossed:

Flash system img and boot img via minimum adb and fastboot. If you have the original recovery put dload folder(Present in firmware zip) in sdcard. While phone is off turn it on by pressing all buttons power + Volume up+ volume down. This will force update your phone.

For rooting read this thread thoroughly.
Don't skip any part otherwise you might end up at soft brick again.

Are you sure that you are doing it correctly what happens when you force update the software? Does it fails? It should work. Download firmware of your phone extract it. There should be a dload folder in the extracted data. Put dload in root directory of sdcard. Then turn on your phone by pressing all buttons. You will see emui logo then the update will start automatically.

See this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994
So:
1. Download drivers and fastboot/adb
2. Follow instructions to enter in fastboot mode (its important to be on FASTBOOT. Now, i dont know, if your phone will show anything, but from adb command you will see if its connected or not)
3. Go to chapter 4 from the specified thread
4. Now your phone gonna be revived with a lower version firmware, from where you have 2 options: update via OTA: with major build steps, or update manually (but carefully: you have update with major builds: eu fw: 170 or 188, 550 or 560, 564, 574,)
5. For cn fw, you have dedicated thread too.

Try this method.https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=r6nXXHa-8_4
I know his screen is working but as you can see by pressing all buttons you don't have to use the screen the update starts by itself. So you just need to do the same thing and leave your phone like at least 30~40 mins.

Yeahh the phone is working again. This time i did the dload folder on internal storage instead of sd kart. Now the force update worked. A BIG thanks to Suleiman01 and tamaskurti for not giving up on me and keep helping, THX

Glad to hear that. Our p8 lite cannot be bricked so easely. Always its a method to recover it.

Youve wiped your /system so your phone is blank.
Get flashtool and an FTF and revert to stock then root, recovery and flash custom rom again.

As soon as you wipe /system your phone is basically without recovery/OS so unrooted. While the recovery is active and in memory this is fine but if you reboot then you lose even that. Root is all about the OS which you dont have.
FTF files can be found in the android development forum.

If you have flashtool.. Download stock ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 and place it in Flashtools>firmware. Connect your device in flashmode( Volume Down and connect). Click on the Lighting Button> Flashmode and flash. [ BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY AS IT GETS FORMATTED]
But note that you will lost Root Access. You have to root your Xperia SP again. And if you have unlocked bootloader then it will remain unlocked. No need to unlock again.

Forgot to mention to power off the device if stuck in bootloop.
Take off your back case. Take a pen,pencil or similar object. Hold the small yellow button at the bottom of the device with the nib of pen or the object you are having. Hold that button until the device vibrates thrice.
Thanks all for help and support it works fine now ;D but again i have to root my device. Maybe someone can tell me the fastest/easiest option to do this. I'd like to do this with locked bootloader. Last time I used V-Root. Any suggestions ?

Good to know that your device works fine.
But Remember You have to install CWM again as well as Root your device again.
This is the Kernel which install CWM as well as Root your Device.

Just Flash the kernel using Flashtool in Fastboot mode.

Dont bother, I have tried for a week straight trying to unbrick mine. I did a factory reset and it destroyed my whole filesystem. :/
i just got mine so i just got a replacement from amazon
Mine was a present and I have no idea where they got it and they tossed the receipt. I'm sol. I'm broke so RMA may take a while as well! xD

Also for getting into recovery follow these steps. Turn off. Hold volume down and also power. When Asus pops up release power and keep hold of volume until the bootloader appears. On bootloader go down to boot recovery. When it reboots to an android guy hold volume up and down at the same time. Let go of volume up and do this r over and over until it goes to recovery. The steps are ridiculous but I know it for sure because my last week of trying to fix mine has been hell.

I bricked mine, but I am adventurous so found a method to recover to factory.
I'm not providing links as they are searchable here on XDA.
The steps are:
1) Get the factory image from Asus
2) Get FB Tethered Recovery Launcher
3) boot into fastboot mode
4) Hook up to computer
5) ensure the device is listed with correct drivers
6) Run ADB (from your platform tools, there is a copy in FBRL folder)
8) copy the zip file from Asus to the device (adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file)
9) Run launcher from FB recovery
10) Choose T2 option, follow prompts to let it do it's thing
11) You should boot into CWM on the device
12) install from zip and point to the zip file you pushed earlier
13) Follow the prompts, and presto, restored to factory and can root/update etc.
I'd like to say thanks to the good info posted here and in other threads. I got stuck in a boot loop tonight and had no idea if I'd be able to fix it. Here's what I did (combination of this thread and others)
My method requires an micro SD card and an Internet connection
1. Confirm you can boot into fastboot:
---->Reboot into fastboot (droid boot) by powering device off (hold power button down), then holding down volume up while powering on. I released the up button once the screen went blank. It should eventually present options to reboot into droidboot, reboot, update from SD, etc.
2. Download the newest firmware from ASUS
YOU NEED THE WW version most likely (worldwide?)
3. Save this to the root of your SD card
4. rename file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
5. Insert card into tablet.
6. While in droidboot/fastboot Choose the option to update from SD. It reboots and uploads the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised that I got my tablet back so easily.
Hope this helps some other poor soul.
There are other methods, but in simplicity, yours seems to win the match. Thank you very much.

Click on recovery. Inside recovery you'll get a "no command" screen. Hit the center of the volume rocker (it'll take a few tries) and you'll see the update command.

flashing stock firmware problems

Hi all,
I'm having an odd issue. No matter whether I used Odin or Smart Switch I can simply not flash a stock firmware. Regardless of the method, the following always happens.
Downloads firmware to device
Reboots
Shows Android dude with "Installing update"
Stops half way through
Shows Android dude with "Erasing"
Disappears after few seconds
Reboots
Nothing is changed. Same as before the whole process...

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin! Do not allow it to reboot the phone! Flash the stock firmware again and after it says success unplug the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screen comes back on select factory reset and after its finished the phone will reboot on it's own and you're done it should work correctly.

That's because you are trying to to root it I'm guessing? You either flashed the wrong kernel, or you actually did not turn on oem unlock in developer options. You'll need to restore it back to stock and then turn on oem unlock then flash a kernel/recovery and then retry what you're trying to do.

Fair enough. Where can I get the stock Kernel so I can get back into the OS? I keep finding bad ones with unmatching MD5s.

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin and as soon as it's done and says success disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time and when the screen comes back up you HAVE to select factory reset wipe if you don't you'll be stuck again just let the little android dude install the update and then the phone will reboot and you'll be ok.

What do you mean the same old firmware? That firmware is just stock firmware so you can at least get back up and running to try rooting it again.

LOL it's better to extract the .tar from the md5 so it doesn't have to be verified which is what's causing it to not work for you.

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin and as soon as it's done and says success disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time and when the screen comes back up you HAVE to select factory reset wipe if you don't you'll be stuck again just let the little android dude install the update and then the phone will reboot and you'll be ok.
Unzip the md5 you get from the sammobile site and flash only the .tar

Dag nabit I lost ALL my data. Jesus H xrst. Lucky I use cloud back up for my pictures. At least I have those. All my music is gone though. Dude thanks a million though at least I am up and running again. The process was simple enough but I would have never figured it out. Ive got a long day ahead of me now. I have to re configure my phone. Anyway, I owe you a beer.
Flashing phones never used to be this brutal. What happened?
MrMike2182 said:
What do you mean the same old firmware? That firmware is just stock firmware so you can at least get back up and running to try rooting it again.
You asked for the stock firmware...
"I'm having an odd issue. No matter whether I used Odin or Smart Switch I can simply not flash a stock firmware. Regardless of the method, the following always happens.'
So I gave it to you.

Shoot sorry I should have mentioned that it was going to erase everything (I found out the hard way to lol) But even if I had known that I wouldn't have been able to get them back anyway once you can't get in to change the settings to file transfer.. I'm glad I back everything up to my laptop! The phone companies are locking the phones down tightly "for our own interests they say" which is BS and totally goes against what Android open source is supposed to be about!!!

What's wrong with your phone booting normal? I don't understand what you're trying to do.. What's the CSC have to do with anything?

Brick or not, after try Samfail method ?

After try v2 Samfail root method, my phone bootloop whit a message on Samsung screen at boot. I cant access to recovery mode, and sometimes appears a screen saying Upload mode need help. I have a Note 8 (Sprint) US

Sorry I don't have time to help you work through this. But you're not bricked. Do the process again. Try switching up your usb ports and cables. Try clicking the bootloader check and try loading the csc file when you flash everything. And hold the buttons longer than you think you should to return to download mode. Galaxy Note 8 screen is normal. You are likely already rooted and can get away with only redoing the second part.

You've tried all these things? You've restarted your phone? It seems you are really pretty close and could just power through. But I don't see any reason you can't return to stock. That may take you longer if you don't have the file and if you don't know how to get back.

Thats what i did.
1rst. Flash system tar. + Pit
I wait, until the process says FAILED.
After this failed message my phone just stuck on Download mode and dont restart by itself. I decide to use combo to power it off and turn it on again into download mode.
2nd.
I place the other 3 files in odin And flash it, following the steps from Samfail thread.
Reboot and get stuck on this screen now what can be ?

Thanks for the info, ill give it a go and report back.
Still trying to flash rev2.5 maybe thats where i went wrong? Its too late now. I can only get into upload and download mode. Trying to flash stock but having fail issues in reg odin and comsy. Im actually so lost now that I dont even know what to flash. Bricked? Anyone have any ideas? Ive tried everything i have seen on this thread and others with no luck. My phone displays all of the same pictures as in page 1. Im have ATT if that helps.
Thanks and sorry if i misread something to get to where i am now. Ive been doing different root methods since i had a droid x. Never had this issue before when flashing with odin. Ive always worked my way out. Maybe i need a break.....

now, after trying to get back into download mode and the samsung logo popped up and was flashing from light to dark. after about 5 minutes it said "android is starting", a few minutes later it went to a charging screen. now i cant get anywhere... lol..
battery died
Charge the phone leave it in charger.
Get into download mode and flash your stock image with Prince comsy Odin with the data bootflag and the bootloader flag ticket, you can do this by adding a 1 in the .ini file. Flash the stock image and then reboot
Then if you want try to flash again the 2.5 version
If you are an unlocked carrier make sure to flash the csc file I posted in the samfail thread somewhere
I had the same problem you had until I flashed the unlocked csc file

Same here but WORSE
The same thing happened to me except mine doesn’t have that message on second screen that yours does it reboots and system mount failure and to top it all off IT ENABLED FRP LOCK SECRURE FOLDER ALL THAT how can I possibly. Bypass this so I can reflash the stock firmware I do root phones as a side hustle I’m pretty well known I’m my town for being the tech guy. This isn’t my phone but I DO have the email and password I just can’t disable the frp is there a way UCSB deactivate it on my google account perhaps?

DroidTurbo XT1254 fails to load fully (Solved)

Stock n locked DT 1254 6.0.1 latest ota rom. When turning on phone boots until stock rom supposed to work. Then toast pops up Unfortunately system UI has stopped. When you tap ok it goes away for a few seconds then comes back no matter how many times you try it. You can push power to shut down and after vibrate tap ok and tap shutdown and will shut down. You can boot into fastboot but when you go to recovery it seems to be gone. Followed root junky's restore with rsdlight several times with latest software but didn't work. Using windows 10 pc to do this. Any help appreciated...
Found this will study up...

Had to use an updated win7 PC for it to function correctly and restore the turbo. Must be a bug with win10 and rsd or moto drivers even tho it said it worked...

@sd_shadow Windows 7 machine did the trick, but getting it updated was tricky, had to make sure security essentials was installed and activated. then updates would happen. Used Motorola device mgr and rsdlite 6.2.4 then flashed QUARK_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCG24.251-5-5_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip. So far signing in ok and restoring apps and data from google, see what gets restored. But still no recovery available. Did I miss something?

Why are you trying to get to recovery, it's mostly useless, on a Motorola
just trying to get it back to factory, not my phone for a friend. Thats all
OK found this for stock recovery when you see a dead andy with no command: In the dead andy screen press vol up + power for 4 seconds. if nothing happens try again, is a little tricky. Seems an update changed how you access recovery. Thanks for the help

Did you verify md5 of firmware file?
Yes all confirmed good, on another site they said after an ota the change took place on accessing recovery, this friend always took ota's. Maybe part of 5-5? I don't know

What step are you using to get to recovery?
Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk
Vol down and power, then vol down to recovery, then power and see the dead Andy with no command, then supposed to push down button hold and push power then let up and will be at recovery. Still waiting for apps and data to finish restoring before I try it.

sounds right, I've sometimes found the button combination at the no command screen a little tricky.
You may need to adjust how long you press the buttons, to get into recovery.

OK thanks very much, I guess using a win7 machine is what made it work for me. All set to use again. Thanks so much!
