Update on my useless phone.

hiimkory — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 20:58:03 GMT

Since nobody was able to give me any good information on why my phone has gone awol i'm gonna try and add as many details as possible.

- Phone constantly reboots itself in a loop.

- Only time phone wont restart is if the battery is under 10%

- When phone is on every single app force closes within seconds.

- So many force close notficiations my phone is virtually useless.

- Most apps force close every couple minutes.

- "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" comes up literally every second.

- When I manage to try and do anything like factory reset, delete apps, or anything else once it is rebooted it goes right back to how it was.

- Safemode gives me about a minute of time before all the apps start closing.

- PC Companion can't detect my phone whenever i try and repair it.

My phone is literally un-usable and it seems like i'm the only person to have this issue.

What? i've booted it on Safemode multiple times and I get the same result every time, i've had this problem since Thursday night of last week. And the phone is currently rebooting itself in a loop right now until the battery drains.

Download flash tool on your pc from www.xda-developer.com then download xperifirm from the same website.

Install flash tool on your pc and follow every instruction given on xda-developer.com

Download the appropriate firmware using xperifirm for your handset.

Flash your mobile with the firmware and your problem should be solved.

Thank you
do it on your own risk

Did you read what I posted at all? And is this the only advice you have because this is the same stuff you told me on the other post. You're giving me nothing to work with.

Flashing the phone could void the warranty

What operating system and bit variation are you using as some systems and bit types have issues with the Flash driver which may account for the repair failing as Flash mode is required

I have no clue Thommo, that's gibberish to me. And I don't care if i void the warranty, having my phone working is a lot better than a dumb warranty.

Just repair it with PCC

@hiimkory just go to forum.xda-developer.com and search for flash tool on the forum. Download it. And also search xperifirm on the same forum and download it too.

You'll find all instructions on the forum.
if you need any further advice please ask here.

Thank you
