This should work though, chainfire 3d just installs a driver in system, it should not be able to give a hard brick, soft brick yes. Maybe the system.img I uploaded is not good ?

i used flibblesan's system,img, i will try yours

It should be the same, as both times I pulled system.img it was exact same size, but the one on file factory is the second one, if you manage to download it lol, take you a week, the zip was good before I uploaded as I extracted it first, so the download should be good.

Maybe, just maybe, there was a hardware fault on your phone which just happened to happen when you flashed. OK small chance of that but it's just a very weird situation. Sorry to say it but might just be worth getting Orange to swap it out. Could always say that the OTA ICS update currently being pushed out broke your phone

[jikobutsu]

Yeah perfect timing as the update has just gone out, no arguement for them there really. You downloaded the update, it powered off to update and end of.....only problem is you have xolo splash screen so will have to hard brick it first

[rickywyatt]

Easley done lol

[jikobutsu]

flash bootloader or the ics recovery that killed you ricky.

[rickywyatt]

I don't think flashing recovery will not brick the phone any more as it to images no so fastboot and recovery are spilt

[jikobutsu]

So in the interst of science how would we turn an osd into a paper weight ? Bootloader flash ?

Is there no way the flasher can flash the update then ?

[rickywyatt]

you can't flash the bootloader lol the way it did it is unplugged the battery pmsl

[jikobutsu]

Huh really, I thought there was some bootloader engineering tool that overwrites bootloader ?

[rickywyatt]

that didnt work lol it only for the Chinese Intel phone

[jikobutsu]

Not good then, is not some way to mount storage in adb ?

c:\>adb push update.zip/sdcard/


If you could get adb in recovery/bootloader mode, the above would work right ?

dam it the system.img aint being flashed

[flibblesan]

Easy to brick. Flash a boot or recovery image with a different signature such as the files from an test device. I have a few old ICS test ROMs uploaded somewhere. And by old I mean old

Paul manually flashed the images and properly bricked the phone.

error. update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

woohoo. i thought i'd give it one last try before i hard bricked.

i entered the above command again out of desperation and it worked!!!

no idea why it didnt give the same error as it is the exact same file
thanks again guys for all your input. it has me stumped but it worked!

[jikobutsu]

fastboot -i 0x8087 flash update update.zip

when i tried it previously i got an error as stated in earlier post.

problem i have now is i cant seem to root again! grrr

[rickywyatt]

i just tested it by erasing system in fastboot ended stuck at boot screen then entered fastboot -i 0x8087 flash update update.zip in fastboot now back up and running so if you are bricked you can no save your phone
