What to do if the firmware has flown to the android. How to flash an Android phone or tablet if it won't turn on. What to do to recover the software

The Android platform is the most widespread among mobile device users. It is quite stable, but there are still a number of factors that can affect the performance of gadgets. In particular, a common problem for tablets is firmware crashing. This is a serious violation, so it is worthwhile to understand its causes and consequences. Experts of the Kabanchik.ua service shared this information.

Causes of firmware problems

The firmware in Android devices usually flies due to:

  • damage to the device by a virus program;
  • independent attempts to reflash;
  • using "self-written" firmware;
  • violations during root access (this is the mode of the main administrator);
  • interrupted wireless update;
  • accumulated over long-term use of system errors.

In almost all cases, tablet repair is needed, the price of which depends on the source of the problem. Great importance has the choice of a master: it is better to contact direct specialists who have reviews and portfolios.

Signs that the firmware has flown

The main "symptom" is partial or complete loss of functionality. For example, the tablet stops responding to any commands given through the screen or buttons. Another indicator is an information window about problems with RAM gadget. The fact that the firmware has flown is also indicated by an error when turning on, informing that further loading of Android is impossible. Well, the most common symptom is that the tablet does not turn on or "comes to life" for 2 seconds to turn off again.

How do I restore the factory firmware?

This is possible if the tablet still turns on, partially functions, but constantly displays error messages or freezes, does not fully load, partially does not respond to touches.

The solution to the problem is to find the original factory firmware (usually it is posted on the official website by the manufacturer, if it is not a Chinese "non-name"). Set new firmware it is necessary by connecting the device to the computer. For a specialist, this is a fairly simple task. Therefore, it is better to contact a master who repairs mobile phones and order a service from him, making sure of the proper level of professionalism. The work will take a little time.

Rollback firmware to a previous version

The easiest way to update a partially damaged firmware on Android is to roll it back to a previously made backup. It is best to make such copies every time before installing unknown applications. Special programs will help you to make a backup. You can consult with a specialist who is well versed in a particular device to select the best suitable application.

How to solve the problem reliably and inexpensively?

If for one reason or another it is not possible to use the two listed methods, you definitely need to contact the wizard without performing any additional steps. To save on repairs mobile device, it is best to find a specialist without intermediaries.

The service Kabanchik.ua will help with this: it is enough to complete the task, and in 5 minutes you can choose a proven master with reviews, portfolio and rating. In addition, the customer himself sets the price and timing of the firmware restoration. But in order to prevent repeated problems with the firmware, it is better to install a good antivirus program, do not allow the installation of unverified applications, do not use administrator rights without understanding the processes and install updates only with a stable Internet connection.

Other news

If your gadget on the Android platform stops turning on, it means that you have taken some action that led to such problems. You may have installed a conflicting application or a virus program, updated your device incorrectly, got Root rights, or deleted or changed system files. There may be a lot of reasons, and it is not so important for us now why this happened. In this article, we will solve the problem of not turning on a mobile gadget on the Android operating system using the new firmware.

Solution

If everything is in order with the bootloader, there is nothing difficult in solving the problem. But first you need to make sure that this is the case. Click on "Power" and watch the reaction of the screen. If everything is in order with the bootloader, you will see an exclamation mark, Android or a lying robot on the screen. If there is a reaction, it's all about the operating system, which means that the new firmware will fix the problem.

If you don't see anything on the screen, connect your smartphone or tablet to your computer and press "Power" or the combination of Power + the volume button (decrease). The computer should see that mobile gadget connects to it. In this case, there is also a chance to update the software.

Recovery using the manufacturer's program

The easiest way to restore a device that won't turn on is to download a utility for installing drivers and updating the OS on the manufacturer's official website. This option is not suitable for all models of smartphones and tablets. But if your device is made by LG, please do the following:

If custom Recovery CWM is installed

There is one more opportunity to update the software for the "dead" Android. But in order to use it, you must have access to Recovery. To open special mode, press the "Power" and "Volume -" keys simultaneously.

If Recovery started on the device, do the following:

Through a custom Windows application for flashing

You can also use an unofficial program. Follow the instructions to install the software.

Execution steps

  1. Download the program (flasher) to your PC.
  2. Download the firmware for your device.
  3. Connect the device to your PC and click "Power" + "Vol -".
  4. Select a file from Android using the utility and install.

There are several reasons why a device on the Andorid OS may stop turning on: incorrect flashing, an unsuccessful attempt to acquire ROOT rights, as well as any actions aimed at changing the OS system data. But all this in most cases is solved by a regular flashing, so I will tell you how to flash Android if it does not turn on.

Solution

The problem is solvable, unless the bootloader is touched. You can make sure that it is functional by pressing the "Power" button: the display should react somehow. It can be a lying robot, Android, or just Exclamation point; all this will show that the problem is in the system, which means - in 90% of cases - there is nothing wrong.

Note: there were times when the display did not react at all when switched on. Then it is worth connecting the device to the PC and trying to press the "Power" or "Power" + "Vol–" button: if the computer sees a connected new device, then there are also chances to flash a dead Android.

Recovery using the manufacturer's program

One of the simplest options is to restore the functionality of the gadget through software from the manufacturer. Not everyone has this functionality, but the LG campaign envisioned such an option. For this you need:

How to Flash Android: Video

If custom Recovery CWM is installed

I will also show you how you can flash an Android brick if you have access to. Let me remind you: to get into it, you need to hold down "Power" + "Volume -".

If this mode starts, then you should:

Through a custom Windows application for flashing

Also, if Android does not turn on after flashing, you can reflash it using one of the unofficial flashers for PC. Each company has its own program and may have its own steps, but they are all very similar.

  • For LG, use KDZ Updater.
  • For Samsung - Odin.
  • For HTC - Android SDK Platform Tools.

Execution steps

  1. Install the required flasher on your PC.
  2. Download the firmware for the model you want.
  3. Run the program.
  4. Connect the gadget to the PC with a cable and press "Power" + "Vol -", a new device will be found in the window.
  5. Select the file from Android through the utility and click "Start".
  6. Wait until the end of the procedure.

    Hello!
    DNS MW7851 with a slot for an sd card, but when entering the recovery there is no item in the install zip from sd card menu ... .. I choose apply update from internal sdcard, I get to the internal memory menu. How to be? The tablet starts up and the DNS inscription hangs with a stake. Already with the help of the recovery, I cleaned and overloaded everything a thousand times.
    Thank you in advance

    Hello. Can you run the firmware mode? That is, you need to start the firmware mode (Download), connect the device to the computer and flash it using a program, for example, ODIN. The firmware must be installed with an official service, without root. You tried to root your device and got hemorrhoids, these consequences must be taken into account before proceeding to any risky actions. I hope that for the future you have taken this into account and will not experiment any more. Regarding the firmware - you need to look for them on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum. There are also instructions, drivers and programs for flashing and user reviews. In general, look for the desired firmware, put the device in the firmware mode and sew. If you yourself cannot, then bring it for repair. You simply have no other options.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 01/13/2016 20:34

    Hello. Upload the firmware to internal memory devices (if possible). If not, then only firmware using a computer. In this case, you will need to download the official service firmware on the PC, the drivers for your device (install on the same PC) and the flashing software. There are single-file and multi-file firmware. It is best to put a multi-file one, but if there are no such, then a single-file one (they, in principle, do not differ in anything, only in a multi-file one it is possible to select the firmware of individual components, such as a modem, and so on). As a rule, devices are sewn with the ODIN program. To do this, you need to enter the “Download” mode (firmware mode) on the device being flashed, connect the device to the PC in this mode. The ODIN program should detect your phone as COM1 or COM2 ... Now you drive the firmware into the program (the path to the firmware should be as simple as possible). In doing so, remember that the ODIN program must be run with administrator rights. More detailed instructions, drivers and firmware are on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum. Search specifically for your device model. There will be all the necessary information, files, instructions, and so on.

    Hello. Buy a new phone from some other brand, such as Samsung or LG. There are practically no such problems with these brands. In your case, most likely, the matter is in the firmware. I would advise you to return to the service center where your phone was repaired and report that 2 weeks have passed and the phone has broken down again, what kind of repair it is. Or try to reflash the device yourself. I will not tell you where to find the firmware, just write your phone model in the search engine and ask a request, for example, “Download the firmware for Prestigio smartphone ****” (specify the model instead of asterisks). Everything, then read what you find.

    Hello expert saviors! Please, help! There is an LG L Fino D295 phone. A few months ago, the firmware went off. I asked again. He worked perfectly. BUT two months later it flew off again, I again asked for it. And today, a perfectly working phone suddenly turned off and no longer turns on. No reaction to the on button. Even to connect to a charger or a computer. The battery is working (checked on the same phone). I cleaned the contacts. I put a working battery, it does not work. An acquaintance (who keeps his little service center for the repair of such devices) said that it was necessary to flash it. But how to flash it even if the computer does not see it. That is, the firmware mode does not start on the phone. While holding the volume up button, I connect it to the computer via the USB cable. Zero reaction. In the device manager of Windows there was a new device without drivers. I had such data USB \ VID_05C6 & PID_9008. Googled, downloaded the driver. (Called ALKATEL). But still no reaction. Please help what to do!
    P.s: When connecting to another computer in the task manager in the "Other devices" section there is a new device named "QHSUSB_BULK". Has ID USB \ VID_05C6 & PID_9008

    Hello. You need to install drivers on your computer specifically for your phone. What you have downloaded may not be the drivers for your phone. As a rule, such drivers in the name have the designation “USBdriversLG” or something like that. Try to remove everything related to your phone (drivers, programs, connections, etc.) from your computer. And then plug in your phone and try to find required drivers... If you have a friend who is repairing, why can't you contact him? It is difficult to say and decide something remotely. You have to look at the device itself, try different options. It is possible that your phone is beyond repair. According to the symptoms you described, he is "Dead" and there is nothing you can do about it. It is necessary to disassemble, ring the tracks and chains, look, maybe the button is moving away somewhere, or maybe motherboard"Died" or something else (maybe the CPU). So you can guess for a very long time. It is best to contact a service center.

    Hello. How did you diagnose that your phone has a broken preloader? In general, you will most likely have to reflash your phone. If you yourself do not know how to “sew”, then bring it to the repair. I have no other advice for you.

    Hello. In general, devices from the Smsung company are stitched using Samsung kies... You don't need drivers for this. But, Kies will only skip the official firmware. I will add on my own that Samsung provides quite strong support and you should understand that the original official firmware is much more stable and reliable than third-party firmware from left-wing developers, especially, you should not install Cyanogen firmware. Believe my experience, native official firmware for Samsung works most stably, I personally checked it more than once. Well, I will not help you with the search for drivers, sorry. look for yourself.

    Hello. If you cannot find the firmware you need, then bring it in for repair, since in your case, as far as I understand from your description of the problem, there is only one thing left to do - to reflash. But, since you cannot find the firmware, then bring it in for repair. Sorry, but there are no other options. I won't help you find the firmware, but I don't have such software available.

    V-ANDROIDE Team 06/01/2016 20:56

    Since you cannot find the software (firmware) you need, contact the service center for help. I don't see any other way to solve your problem besides the firmware. Therefore, you simply do not have other options. I will not be able to help you in finding the required firmware, since I need other data (except for the name of the gadget), also, not all firmwares work fine. All this needs to be checked, and for this you need your tablet so that I personally can work with it. I cannot remotely help you with your problem. Therefore, the conclusion is - bring it to repair.

    Hello. Maybe a password is needed for a SIM card? That is, some kind of PIN? Or is it the phone that is locked? I don't know the password, but a reset should have helped. If the requirement to enter a password remains, then most likely it is a SIM card password. Try to pull out the SIM card and turn on the phone, will it require a password? If so, I don't even know what to advise you. If you cannot flash it through a PC, then bring it in for repair. Read this article -. Perhaps you will find the answer in it.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 08/10/2016 21:30

    Hello. If the device does not take charge, then this could mean several problems. First, you need to check the battery. The battery controller may have burned out or the battery itself may be dead. In this case, the device will not charge and, accordingly, will not turn on. Secondly, you need to check the connector to which you are connecting Charger... Perhaps the connector cable is frayed or the connector itself is loose and charging simply does not go corny due to the lack of contact. Need to spend visual inspection, try to move the charger connector in the phone connector. You may also need to disassemble the phone and visually inspect the loops. Thirdly, the problem may be in the tablet itself. Although, this is unlikely, since, even when the firmware flies, the phone should be charged when it is turned off. It is also worth checking the charger itself (try charging another device with it), and try charging your phone with another charger.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 08/10/2016 21:30

The second option is that the firmware itself may be buggy. Have you done a factory reset or just tried it? If you didn't, then do it. If you did but did not help, then you will have to reflash - (). If you yourself cannot flash it, then bring it in for repair.

    Hello. I think that in your case, it is better to immediately repair it. The point is that you can try to flash it. But, I will not give you exact instructions, you need to look for it on the Internet. And it will be difficult for you to figure it out. Therefore, it is better to take it for repair right away.

    V-ANDROIDE Team 08/25/2016 11:15 AM

    Hello. The point may be that the phone needs to be put into flashing mode. In addition, you need to install drivers for the tablet that you want to flash on your computer. How to switch to firmware mode - you need to read the instructions on the Internet (or read the instructions (manual) for the tablet). As a rule, the Power + Volume up buttons are clamped at the same time and hold until the device reboots. Sometimes you also need to add the Home button (but this is for different devices differently). This scheme does not work the same for all tablets. That is, you try to do this, if it does not work out, then you need to look for Instructions on the Internet. I will not help you remotely in this matter, since I just need to pick up a tablet and try different options. You also download drivers on the Internet.

Please note that you open access to system files not only for yourself, but also for applications that can change system configurations, which causes various failures, conflicts between software, and so on. All this inactively affects the stability of the system. It can reach the firmware rally and the phone breaks down. The result is costly repairs.

    Hello. I can't tell and show you everything remotely. Here it is necessary to demonstrate clearly in order to teach. Therefore, either try to search for video tutorials yourself (maybe articles specifically on your phone), communicate on the forums and so on. But, I do not recommend that you try to flash it yourself, since there is a rather high risk of completely disabling the phone. I recommend that you contact those who have experience in flashing phones and who can flash your phone. If there are no such acquaintances, then bring it to the repair. This will be easier, faster and more profitable, since independent repair attempts, as a rule, lead to even more expensive repairs.

    Hello. The firmware has flown. If you know how to flash it yourself, then flash it. You need to flash it using a computer and appropriate software. Install the firmware only for the official service. If you yourself do not know how to flash or there is no possibility, then bring it to the service center.

    V-ANDROIDE Team 09/08/2016 11:19

    Hello. The firmware has flown. You did the right thing when you tried to flash it. But, please clarify how exactly did you try to download the firmware? You only need to flash through a PC. You can, of course, install custom firmware (flash through the recovery), but I highly do not recommend doing this. It is best to install the official firmware. If you know how to flash it yourself, then flash it. You need to flash it using a computer and appropriate software. Install the firmware only for the official service. If you yourself do not know how to flash or there is no possibility, then bring it to the service center.

    V-ANDROIDE Team 09/08/2016 11:19

    Hello. No. You need to activate the flash mode. And this is done by pressing and holding the Power + Volume Up (+) button. If the button does not work, then you need to disassemble and clean the contacts or change the button. Maybe there is just a plume left, maybe the contacts are oxidized (or dusty). In general, you need to disassemble the device and repair the button. Only after that try to flash it. In your case, I recommend taking it for repair. You yourself are unlikely to be able to repair something at home. And an independent attempt can lead to more big problems.

    Hello, I have philips xenium v387
    I reset the phone to factory settings, an android image appeared with the inscription ERASE. But then it disappeared, the phone turned off, turned on again, the image appeared again, and so on in a circle. Cyclic reload... I can go into recovery, but only for a couple of seconds, after which the phone restarts. What should I do, tell me, please?

    Hello. Which connector is not working? I think that even if the service centers do not want to take it, then you will hardly be able to do something on your own. In your case, it's better to buy a new gadget (and don't buy cheap Chinese devices). It is better to pay once, but you will get a great gadget that will last you a long time and without any problems. Trust my experience, brands are more expensive than others for a reason, they have something to pay for. As a last resort, I can recommend from the Chinese manufacturers Xiaomi or Meizu. These are two fairly high-quality manufacturers that have not yet managed to raise prices - this is if you want to save money and at the same time buy a high-quality gadget.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 09/21/2016 19:43

    Hello. Try to contact the service center (send it in for repair). Since you are unlikely to do something on your own. If an error pops up. The fact is that you can guess for a long time. Maybe you are trying to install the wrong firmware, maybe the firmware itself is buggy, maybe something is wrong at the hardware level. There are a lot of options. Better contact the service center.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 09/21/2016 19:43

    Hello. I highly discourage installing custom firmware, especially on branded devices (LG, Samsung, and so on). These models have very strong support and official firmwares work most stably and efficiently. Therefore, there is only one way out for you - to reflash your LG to the official service firmware, which will work perfectly. And in the future, never even try to install the firmware from Cyanogen or from other proponents of firmware-business - you will not end up in trouble. Regarding the flashing, here is the article -. If you yourself cannot, then it is better to carry it for repair.

    Hello everyone! People I have such a problem! The firmware on the Fly IQ 4414 glitched, resetting to the factory settings did not help, the Android download was constantly running, it waited for about an hour and did not start. I tried to reflash through Recovery, an error constantly popped up. I tried it through the Flash Tool, the firmware is successful, the phone did not stop responding at all, it does not turn on at all even when the charger is connected. The device seems to be dead, BUT! When trying to connect to a computer, the connection is in VCOM mode. It is flashed through the USB flash drive without errors, I tried only the official firmware SW 17 and SW18, but the end result is the same (Who faced it? What could this be related to?

    Good afternoon, my phone LG-E730 after manual flashing (there is little experience in flashing and repairing phones) did everything according to the instructions and everything went smoothly, then when I asked for it, it started to turn on and it starts to load endlessly in a circle, only the LG brand logo, and then have not tried, reinstalled newer versions of the firmware, or somehow fix it, which was already installed, nothing helps, please help !!

    V-ANDROIDE Team 10/06/2016 21:53

    Hello. You did something wrong, which caused the firmware bootloader to crash (or the firmware itself was deleted). In your case, you will have to flash your phone. The firmware must be installed with the official service. If you yourself cannot find the firmware or are afraid to flash it, then it is better to take it for repair right away.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 10/06/2016 21:57

    Hello. No. Just save the photo to your computer or USB flash drive. Flash the phone, and then drop the photos (from a PC or flash drive) back into the phone's memory. Everything is obvious and pretty simple. And about your question - at the time of the firmware, all the internal memory of the device is formatted and overwritten up to file system... Therefore, absolutely all information is deleted.

    Hello. In any case, you need to enter the firmware menu or the recovery menu (if you are flashing files in the root of the memory). So you first have to repair the volume buttons, and only then try to flash. If you cannot do it yourself, then there is only one way out - bring it to repair. I don't see any other options.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 10/06/2016 21:58

    Hello. Of course, the phone won't turn on. After all, you completely formatted the memory, while deleting absolutely everything, including the firmware. Your task is to put the phone into a mode for flashing through a computer or enter recovery. To get started, check out this article -. Here is general information about the flashing options. If you cannot transfer the phone to desired mode(in recovery or "Dowload" mode), then bring it to the repair, because otherwise the phone will not be able to flash.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 10/06/2016 21:58

    "Hello. Where and how do you go? Clarify the question. How to enter recovery mode on your tablet? Try this. 1. Turn off your tablet. When doing this, make sure that the battery is fully charged or connect the tablet to the mains.
    2. Enter Recovery mode by pressing a combination of certain buttons. Since different tablet manufacturers offer different keyboard shortcuts, I will give you a few of the most common keyboard shortcuts for entering the recovery menu:
    simultaneously holding down both the "volume" keys and the "power on" key;
    simultaneously holding down one of the "volume" keys and the "power on" key;
    simultaneously hold down one of the volume buttons, the Home and Power buttons (the button to turn on the device).
    The buttons are held until the recovery mode appears on the display. If you do everything right, you will go into recovery mode. I repeat once again - see that the battery is at least 75% charged.

    Hello. I don't even know how to help. I will not tell you anything remotely. Even if the firmware does not become. I think that it is not worth wasting more time and effort. Moreover, an independent attempt to flash the device led to even more problems. It is better to take it to the repair right away if it still needs to be repaired. Perhaps you first need to flash the menu recovery. If you were flashing through the recovery, then clarify whether you were flashing the recovery menu itself (it changed - that is, after the firmware the menu itself changed its design)? If yes, then first, you need to return the recovery to its original state, and then try to install the firmware itself.

    Team V-ANDROIDE 19.10.2016 20:09

    Hello. Did you install native firmware or custom firmware? The fact is that custom firmware, as a rule, is stitched together with the recovery menu. In this case, there may be various failures. Try to find the official service firmware and install it. Moreover, it is necessary to flash through a PC and preferably with a multi-file firmware (if there is none, then a single-file one, but still through a PC). If even the official service firmware does not "come in", then bring it for repair. I have no other advice. Possibly a hardware problem. It might be worth trying to format the internal memory. But, with this you need to be extremely careful.

    Hello. These are Chinese features. You can try to reflash the preloader through the Flash Tool. And you can take it from another device with the same chip (CPU). Here you yourself read the forums. Better yet, take it to a service center.

    V-ANDROIDE Team 11/17/2016 10:52 AM

    Hello. It is possible that you just need to put the phone in the firmware mode (Download). In this case, you need to install the appropriate driver on the computer so that the system can recognize the phone. If the computer still refuses to see the phone, then the problem may be more serious. In this case, you need to flash the recovery menu, and it is possible to change the preloader. Preloader is a firmware that launches the “Download” system (I don’t know how to explain it, which would be understandable). In general, here you need a really experienced master who can revive your phone. Try to contact another service center or surf the forums. The Internet is full of information.

After installing the LG Mobile Support Tool I followed the instructions. But then there’s a slight deviation. charging in progress I run it as said through power + Vol -, the program does not see the body, I run it the usual way, thereby starting the "endless download" the program saw it and began to download the software on the body and install it, not paying attention to the eternal reboot, everything went well).

During normal phone operation, errors popped up in absolutely all applications with inscriptions like "an error occurred in the Mail application", and so on with all applications. While I close the errors by clicking on OK, they pop up again, and so on in a circle. Resetting to factory settings does not help. Reset with archiving and without archiving does not help. Apps are not deleted! Hard reset also does not help, everything is in place, everything with errors that can be closed forever. The husband tried to reflash, now it does not turn on at all. They did not switch to the flashing mode, they installed the firmware when connected via usb. So what's now? Where did the errors of absolutely all applications come from? Thanks for the answer.

    Hello. samsung galaxy with 4 mini. During the day, the OK application hung a little. In the evening, when I tried to open the vk application, the error "application stopped, send a report" popped up. I rebooted the phone and when I reopened the application, there was a similar error. I reboot again, and a window opens almost to the full screen "Google services are stopped, send a report" I press cancel, the window disappears and appears again. And so on ad infinitum. I reboot again, the "android update" window appears, although I did not allow or launch any updates. After that, it freezes, the screen goes blank and it did not turn on again. When you press the power, vibration occurs and nothing more. When you press power + home + volume key - it opens downloading. When you try to reflash the system, the following happens: one sees the phone, but when you press start, initalzation is displayed ... and that's it! what just didn’t try, my ports, the cord is original and not the original, I tried it on another computer, changed version one, tried to install the recovery, the result is the same initalzation ... Also, when you try to enter the recovery menu when you press three buttons, vibration occurs and that's all too! black screen. What could have happened to the phone ...

    Auto test; Manual test; Item test; Test report; Debug test; Clear eMMC; Version; Reboot. If you click Reboot, then everything is repeated, endless download. The computer does not see the phone.
    Are there options to revive it? Or is the bobby dead?

There are several reasons why the device firmware could fly off: a system error, a virus, a hardware error, the installation of third-party software that disrupted the operation of the shell. In any case, we will help you restore it!

What to do to recover the software?

  1. You should visit specialized sites and forums for instructions on flashing your device model.
  2. To carry out the firmware, you need a cable that will allow you to connect your smartphone or tablet to personal computer... You will also need special utility which will allow you to flash new version OS. It is important to be prepared for the fact that all data can be erased, so you need to take care of backup personal data.
  3. Be sure to read the instructions provided in order to follow the scheduled points and avoid amateur performance. Make sure the battery is charged by at least, by 50%. Otherwise, the device will be discharged and it may turn into an ordinary "brick".

If the firmware has flown and the phone does not turn on

It is imperative to make sure that it is the firmware of the device that actually flew. A symptom can be complete or partial inoperability, which manifests itself in different ways.

In any case, action must be taken. In fact, you can use special applications to re-flash or return to the operating system of a previous version, but you must make sure that their interface is clear and the instructions are pleasing with simplicity. If deviations are made at this stage, there is only one way out, namely cooperation with service center... Unfortunately, it is not possible to describe all the existing methods, since much depends on the current situation and the model of technology used, but among the options it should be noted the use of recovery, which almost always allows you to revive the device.

Reasons for failure

It is imperative to understand why the operating system can crash. In fact, the variety of reasons is surprising. For example, the wrong self-flashing of the operating system of a smartphone or tablet may be carried out to improve the technique, the wrong programs are used or the instructions of the selected utilities are not followed, the use of custom firmwares, which are experiments of ordinary users, and not manufacturers.

Among the reasons for the undesirable situation, it should be noted that the device was discharged to zero while the operating system was being updated.

In this situation, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient charge before starting the procedure.

Output

In any case, you should think about how to protect yourself, because the device's memory can fly off in case of negative factors.

Currently, this myth has somehow become a thing of the past. Less and less often, people ask for help because of a failed firmware. At the same time, this myth is even more severe and merciless than the myth about flashing.

1. The origin of the myth

This myth appeared due to the fact that at the dawn mobile communications any technique has been affected by this. Early Erricsson phones (not to be confused with Sony Erricsson) had capacitors in their design, which would dry out very quickly and the phone would break down. Even if these capacitors were replaced, the phone would still remain dead, since the memory chips were out of order. The firmware on them had to be restored, since it flew off when replacing capacitors.

2. Striking examples from the past

Most often, the firmware was considered to have flown off if it failed as a result of errors. For example, a sms message received by older Siemens phones (A50, A52, A55 and many others) caused the phone to read the message as part of the program code and a "data execution" error occurred. The phone stopped turning on, and it was treated only by flashing it.

For more the present stage distinguished Motorola phones on the P2k platform. Almost all of them had an unusual mechanism for turning on the phone. This mechanism worked perfectly for its 2-3 years and began to fail. Often the repair of this part helped, but even more often this malfunction dragged along with it the built-in memory microcircuits in which the firmware is located. And the user could only hope that the phone would be stitched after that. There were also many cases when it was necessary to change the entire telephone board.
Firmware often crashed or was damaged when repairing phones, especially when it was required to warm up the microcircuits on the boards. Under the influence of temperature, cheap memory microcircuits lost the data written in them. In this case, the full firmware of the phone often helped. In this way, as a rule, the firmware was flashed on Siemens SX1, C55, C60 and S55 phones.

3. Firmware meeting at the present stage. Why is this irrelevant?

But note that none of the examples ever mention new, modern phones. And this is because modern phones and smartphones have such a rare case of firmware flashovers that we can say that they do not. Glitches for sms and mms have long been closed and protected. Various virus attacks dangerous for the firmware, which were relevant for the first Symbian smartphones, are in most cases impossible, because you can just damage the firmware from a computer when a different voltage is applied to the memory chips.

Thus, for modern smartphones only two reasons for the firmware rally are relevant:

1. If the phone was unsuccessfully flashed from the computer or received an unsuccessful over-the-air firmware update.

2. When repairing, when the memory chips are overheated. This is more relevant for Chinese phones and smartphones with low-quality memory chips. In this case, the phone is simply completely stitched.

So, from a simple installation of the program or a heavy picture on the desktop, after which the phone or smartphone does not turn on, the firmware does not fly off. This is not a PSP in which pirated virtual firmware crashes on every reboot. Today's phones do not have many of the disadvantages of the first phones. Just like that, the firmware cannot fly off.

The next myth - about smartphones - read in three days.
