Xolo Software update Available

[Guest rickywyatt]

good now type

reboot bootloader

then open aio tool and select bricked opinion let it flash then let me no if it worked

[Guest technomole]

I'm not sure why but when I opened the ai0 tool the system couldn't find the phone, so as yet no luck, I'm trying to go through the steps again but seem to be having trouble with the system not knowing what the phone is.

[Guest rickywyatt]

try to shut fone down by holding the power button then turn back on see if it starts boot looping again

[Guest technomole]

It still boot loops, not sure why but when I try and run adb push flashtool data/local/tmp/

I get daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 *

daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

even if the phone is plugged in.

Also noticed that the ai0 tool does the same, but is using port 5037

Could be this part of the problem ?

[Guest rickywyatt]

can you get into recovery

[Guest technomole]

yes, but using the recovery option results in the red triangle, and everything else takes me back to the boot loop.

[Guest rickywyatt]

have you tried since I made you flash the old xolo recovery

[Guest technomole]

Yes, when I couldn't do fix brick I tried using recovery, still failed though, and now every time I plug the phone into the pc it wants to install the intel mtp driver, which it then tries to do and that fails as well.

[Guest rickywyatt]

put phone in fastboot and connect to pc open device manager and see if you see adb

[Guest technomole]

In device manager the first entry is Android Phone, and under that Android ADB Interface. (windows 7 ultimate)

If I open the command prompt and type adb shell I get device not found, even though it's plugged in.

[Guest rickywyatt]

are you in fastboot because if you are type

fastboot -i 0x8087 devices

post output here

[Guest technomole]

I must not be in fast boot as it doesn't give an output as such, just a load of usage options

[Guest rickywyatt]

turn off phone hold down vol - and hold power button you will get a black screen with a blue android bot

then type

fastboot erease cache

fastboot -i 0x8087 erase cache

type output

[Guest technomole]

It's stuck at waiting for device (it is plugged in)

[Guest rickywyatt]

did you try both fastboot if first one don't work try

fastboot -i 0x8087 erase cache

[Guest technomole]

fastboot erase cache didn't do anything.

fastboot -i 0x8087 erase cache did,

output was erasing cache oaky [2.286s]

finished. total time: 2.287s

[Guest adarshrag]

hey... i did the last part i.e.

put the phone in fastboot and connected it to the pc...

then typed

fastboot erease cache

fastboot -i 0x8087 erase cache

it erased my cache...

later tried to boot into recovery... worked fine...

Also did a factory reset...

thanks a lot for the help...

[Guest rickywyatt]

sweet now copy c:/sandiego/xolo/updste.zip to c:/sandiego/tools then type

fastboot -i 0x8087 flash update c:/sandiego/tools/update.zip

[Guest technomole]

You sir are a f#$king legend, that worked ! I have a phone again, instead of a flashing paper weight.

:D

Now the phone is asking me to update ...

[Guest rickywyatt]

don't update lol

[Guest rickywyatt]

use my s2 build.prop and it will stop the updater

[Guest BlueMoonRising]

Awesome work again Ricky.

[Guest adarshrag]

worked perfecctly... thanks a lot...

[Guest schkinx]

Do ya think they'd release an update to try and lock the phone down even more ?

Or could it be a patch to get it ready for Jellybean :o

[Guest technomole]

In the interest of science I applied the update, I can confirm (at lest for me) that it installs, but it removes root, and so far I haven't been able to root the phone, so I wouldn't update if you really really want root.

Many thanks again to ricky
