Unable to switch on my phone need some serious help

 everyone, i got some issues while switching on my phone. Today my phone has automatically downloaded system update, after completion i installed that update and few minutes after installation, phone restarted and shows this massage "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to computer and try again."I connected my phone to the computer but still shows the same message and shuts down automatically and im not using any custom recovery.what should i do now??? Please help me with that..

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Lenovo A6000 Softbricked? Needs some serious help--Please

    Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says  Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following : https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbrick-lenovo-a6000/ but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work  Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

    it worked the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

  • Need some serious help asap please

    My boyfriend got drunk last night and changed his passcode on his iphone 3GS. Goes to use it this morning and couldn't remember it whatsoever, tried so many times that his phone is now disabled and asks to be connected to itunes.
    Tried syncing it but I must've not done something right. The phone IS his and we do own the first and only computer the phone has been plugged in to.
    So my questions are as follows:
    How do I find the serial number on itunes?
    How do I restore his passcode without having to completely restore his phone?
    We are both still very new to the iphone thing and a little overwhelmed. I need to get this fixed asap as my boyfriend needs his phone for work. I might add that I'm still quite unfamiliar with itunes so be gentle lol
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    How do I find the serial number on itunes?
    Under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    How do I restore his passcode without having to completely restore his phone?
    Not possible. If this were possible, there wouldn't be any reason to have a Passcode Lock feature to prevent unauthorized access to the iPhone in the first place. The iPhone must be restored with iTunes. It can be restored from the iPhone's backup since the Passcode Lock is not included with the iPhone's backup.

  • I need some serious help with MPEG Streamclip and iMovie 11

    Hello, everyone!
    I hope that some kind soul here is able to help me. My sister-in-law asked me if I could help her re-edit a video that they made of a conference she gave because she didn't like the way some parts were edited. I oh-so-kindly (and perhaps stupidly) offered to help her out!
    A little background: even though I studied audiovisual communications in college, I leaned (a LOT) towards the audio production part of it and, lately, photography, too. That means that I'm not very good at the whole creating-a-movie-in-iMovie thing, even though I know it's supposed to be easy.
    So, here goes: I have a DVD from her which has the typical TS files for audio and video. I downloaded a program called MPEG Streamclip and then it said I needed to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component so that I could rip the DVD my sister-in-law gave me. I bought the component.
    I've converted, done small, 1-minute tests, of the DVD with MPEG Streamclip to DV and also to MP4 (just in case). I do it, then import them to iMovie 11. I don't edit anything at all, just a test to see how it looks, so I immediately send the project to iDVD to see how it looks. It DOES NOT look good.
    Compared to the DVD she gave me, which looks all smooth (picture-wise), mine has a certain amount (NOT HUGE) of pixelation. I can tell especially because there are some slides that were added to her project, so I can see the pixelated parts around the edges of the letters.
    The DVD she gave me does NOT look HD. In fact, it looks SD (4:3), so I don't believe it's that.
    If anybody here knows about this, what am I doing wrong? Am I not ripping it correctly using MPEG Streamclip? Am I not making the iMovie 11 project right? Am I burning in the "wrong way"?
    If it's the MPEG Streamclip ripping that I'm doing wrong, what are the settings I should be using? What format should I be using so that it is VERY iMovie-friendly?
    I want the final video that I would edit to look exactly as the one she gave me. That IS possible, right?
    For extra information, if needed, I am running a MacBook Pro, 13", i7 with 4 GB of RAM and am running OS 10.6.6. I've been a Mac user since the OS 9 days.
    Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
    Serge

    Ok. Got it!!!
    Z, thanks a lot!! Now things don't look pixelated and my test burn looks exactly like the dvd my sister-in-law gave me... except for ONE THING:
    There are these graphics done in I-don't-know-what program with a cube transition. They look like when you do 3D cube transitions in virtual desktop, you know?
    Anyway, HER dvd looks completely smooth when you see these transitions but MY dvd looks... well, not right. It looks a bit like the screen or the letters "tremble" or shake a bit. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
    I followed your advice to the letter and everything is perfect with the exception of those transitions (because after the transition passes and you see the slide with the writing, it looks completely smooth).
    Do you know of something that I can do to help with this problem?
    Thanks again!
    Serge

  • Ok I need some serious help..PLEASE HELP ME

    Hey here is my issue i need to do the following things and i do not know how or can't figure it out by reading the manual...
    1. I need to convert .m4p AAC files into MP3's and i cant find anything to do it with
    2. I need to change the bpm of the song without changing the pitch, basically holding the master tempo while increasing the speed
    3. I have a midi controller with 8 assignable knobs and i cant figure out how to assign anything to any of them
    Thank you for your help
    Alex Eljaiek

    Alex,
    Isn't the m4p the "protected" file from iTunes. The only way I know of to switch the m4p to mp3 is to burn the file to an audio cd (in iTunes), and then rip the track off of the CD as and mp3.
    You'll want to check your preferences in iTunes to verify the burning and ripping settings are correct.
    Hope this is helpful,
    Mitch

  • IPod not recognized, therefore I can't factory reset...Need some serious help.

    I received an iPod that used to belong to someone who used it on a Mac. I can tell this because under "About" it lists the serial number, which indicates it was used on a Mac and not Windows. Because of that, it can't sync with a windows computer. I need to factory reset it so it will be optimized for a Windows computer. However, when I connect it, neither the computer or itunes recognizes it. It doesn't recognize it in disk mode either. I get the message "USB Device Not Recognized". I searched for newer drivers and it says that my "Unknown Device" has the most up to date drivers. I've also reset the ipod, and uninstalled & reinstalled itunes. The ipod will charge with the usb cord connected to the wall, but not while connected to the computer with that same cord. By the way, the ipod works fine, it has music already on it and will play the music just fine.
    I've followed the 5 "R" steps to try and fix my ipod, ending at the last step which is restore. I can't restore my ipod, because I can't get it to connect to itunes.
    Please help me!

    Hello cierra.estelle,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new iPod nano.  You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue.  I found an article with a few additional steps you can take when your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your computer. 
    I recommend continuing with the following article (you can skip the steps you have already taken).  Additionally, if you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to remove all the listed components in that step:

  • After Effects CC (2014) Error "I need some serious help right now!"

    I wanted to create a Superman opening title sequence from After Effects CC (2014). So, I decided to download it from Creative Cloud and put the new "amtlib.framework" file on package contents in the "Framework" folder. I open the application and I get this error.
    Then, this other error popped up.
    That's where I'm at right now. So, a few questions come to mind.
    1. Should I open it in trial mode and quit out of it and then add the "amtlib.framework" file to "Framework" or will it just open and give me the same errors?
    2. Do I have to turn off my Wi-Fi and then open the application?
    3. Do I have to get the updates first?
    Anyone who knows what to do with this issue, I would appreciate it. Don't give me BS answers and don't tell me that I have to update from Mavericks to Yosemite, because I have no interest in Yosemite.
    Before I forget, here's info on my MacBook for those wondering.
    This is an old laptop I had in the last week of January of 2011. I upgraded it to OS X Lion to Mavericks on 2014. I'm still on Mavericks.
    Anyways, some answers and guidance would be great so I can fix the issue and move on.

    This is an old laptop
    Yes, it is. And with an unsuitable processor and insufficient graphics memory at that. This will never work. You can only download an older version of AE as a trial.

  • Need some serious help. first mac ever. PLEASE

    hello i recently bought a used mac (powerbook g4 1.5ghz 512mb i think its 15 titanium? silver color? anywayz it came with microsoft office and my friend told me it was expensive software and if i reformat this mac i would lose it. so i searched mac with find... and removed all microsoft files and put it into a folder and put it in an external hd. *** did i do? how do i undo what i did or how do i format my mac so it is basically brand new and still keep microsoft office. i did a previous reformat but kept previous settings and it kept microsoft office. but since i moved all the files iono wut i did.

    You could make your life a lot simpler by getting a decent backup utility and using it to backup your files to the external drive.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

  • Need some serious help...

    Last month, the processor in my PC crashed. As fate would have it, it crashed right as I was updating the software for my iPod Touch (I did manage to back up the iTouch before the crash). So now, my iPod Touch is stuck in "recovery mode." I have since rebuilt my PC from the ground up (new motherboard, processor, RAM, vid card) but I have kept my previous Hard Disk Drive as it was where all my "stuff" was. The issue is that this drive was not backed up to a disk or off site. I can access my iTunes music via the music folder in the old HDD but for some reason or another I cannot get the iTunes program, which I just reinstalled from the web, to find or sync. I can import songs individually using the "file>library>import playlist" route, however it only seems to allow me to import one song at a time. Given the sheer number of songs I have stored there, it will take weeks to accomplish. That being said, I fear what has come of my saved stored Apps. I am not getting an option to move the Apps to the new iTunes program, and iTunes is saying I cannot complete the iTouch software upgrade, only "restore" the iTouch. Bottom line...will I lose all the apps? or possibly everything? This seems far too extreme for a company as prolific as Apple.
    So I'm desperately wondering if there's a way to extract the iTouch files from my old HDD to the current one so that they will sync to my current iTunes program, hopefully be able to then restore the iTouch and sync it and still have all my bought Apps and music. I've scoured the internet for solutions, however they all seem to assume that both my iTouch and Computer haven't crashed simultaneously. I've tried customer service for Apple, however they seem as confused about the whole thing as I am. Anyone have a suggestion, link or even a solution?

    I can import songs individually using the "file>library>import playlist" route, however it only seems to allow me to import one song at a time.
    Try the "Add to Library" command instead, and select the parent folder for your content. That should copy all the content to your new iTunes folder and add it all into iTunes.
    Alternatively, if you have the entire former iTunes folder (the master folder which contains the iTunes library files as well as the folders with the content), you should be able to just drag-copy that folder to the appropriate location on your new hard drive. Then to make sure iTunes recognizes it, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, navigate to and select that folder. You can also just do the same with the iTunes folder on your old hard drive, if you plan to keep that drive permanently in use.
    Regards.

  • I really need some serious help with Encore import

    Ok I will start off by saying  Iam a complete and total newbie to this field.  I have produced a few small projects in premier and encore but nothing advanced until now.
    Here is what I have done
    I am using CS04 Suite
    I have built a Premier Project using AVCHD footage that is 2.5 hours long (roughly)
    I exported the final project using AME to H.264 so that I could import it into Encore
    The files is 16 GB in size
    I am trying to import the file as an asset into encore to build the menus,  I need to create 2 images in encore, one DVD image and 1 Blueray Image.  I am trying to do the DVD image at this time.  Encore allows the import, shows the video in the asset list but my hard drive has been running like a fool for 3 hours now,  I cant seem to drag it to the timeline, if I right click  I cant even access the Transcode setting of the file, my system is very sluggish.  It almost seems like it is pre-transcoding but I see no progress bars anywhere.
    Is Encore simply still importing the file?
    Am I doing this correctly?
    Should I break up the video into smaller files? Will I need to create multiple Premier Projectes to do so?
    If I wait long enough will it be ok?
    I have 6 days to finish this project... I really need your help !!!

    An external ESATA would do just fine.
    Keep all of your media on the external drive.  Only use the internal drive for Windows and your applications.
    Your quad-core and 4 GB of RAM is OK.  Not great (I'd get 2 GB of RAM per core), but OK.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Check this link out:
    iPod shows a sad iPod icon
    If an iPod has a folder with an exclamation point or is "sad", that almost always means that its hard drive is out of place. Try this:
    Tap your iPod firmly on either side several times with your hand. This may work to tap your iPod's hard drive back into its correct place. It actually has worked for a lot of people, so it isn't just a joke!
    I hope this solves your problem!

  • I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP! PLEASE!

    I have a power mac G4 with OS 10.1.5
    Let me start of by saying this computer has never been hooked up to the internet since i have had it, so I know its virus free.
    Listen to all the funky stuff that's been going on with my machine.
    I started off with OS 9.2 and about a year or so after OS 10 came out, I went out and purchased a copy of 10.1.5, loaded it on my computer and was golden..... until about 3 months ago. From out of nowhere, it started to boot up in OS 9.2 again with no sign of OS 10.1.5 anywhere. (strange) I ran the 10.1.5 Disk again, and it started up fine again. Two weeks later, I moved to a new house, set up my power mac G4 and BOOM it happened again. I searched for the next to weeks for the disk again (I'm not the most organized person) when i found it it was badly damaged! To the point of not working. Moving *****! I played around for a while to trouble shoot my issue... I couldn't figure anything out, but one day it started to boot back in OS 10. It was working fine, but taking a while to start up. I thought it could be that i needed to update the software. so using my laptop (pc) i downloaded all the updates that were on the mac website for that OS version and installed them in the order that was instructed. rebooted. Nothing loaded. it just sat at the start up screen for a while. I rebooted again this time in single user mode and got the following message:
    disk0s9: 0x8 (UNDEFINED).
    so i ran fsck and got this message:
    ** /dev/rdisk0s9
    ** Root file system
    ** Checking HFS Plus volume.
    ** Checking Extents Overflow file.
    ** Checking Catalog file.
    disk0s9 0x8 (UNDEFINED).
    Keys out of order
    Any Ideas?

    An older copy of Disk Warrior should be able to fix such a problem, but unfortunately disk repair wasn't as effective with 10.1.x. Of course you can boot from your OS X installer disc from which you can run Disk Utility, I think, and see if it will repair the problem. See,
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. Quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    I would suggest upgrading to a later version of OS X, at least to Panther. You will find it has fewer problems and runs considerably faster.

  • Jsp: i need some serious help..

    hi all,
    i'm working on a project that i have to implement new functionalities to an existing system.. the catch is that i'm given no documentations except source codes(they are no comments on majority of the libraries) of the libraries.. i've been able to figure out most of the tasks that i had to do, but there is one part that i can't seem to figure out..
    here are some info:
    the system is running on redhat using resin, blackdown sdk 1.4.1..
    mysql database is used to store data.
    in the spec docs, i have to extend the system's mailing listfunctionalities.
    the mailing lists, subscriptions email addresses are stored in the database. i have figured out how to modify to the database to add the functionality, but i haven't figure out to how implement these changes to the existing mailing list system and how the mailing list works..
    i've gone thru all the classes and found out that the system calls a servlet that reads the mailing list data from the database every hour and output/update an external list(text file) according to the changes that occur in the database within the previous hour.. these mailing list are given an unique id and these id's are stored in an 'aliases' file..
    from here i got lost... i don't understand:
    - how the system sends out the mails and how the system use the mailing list's unique id's to fetch subscription list from the database(i can't find the sql query anywhere)...
    - how the system uses the external text file(contains email address fetched from the database)
    - how the system use the unique id specified in the 'aliases' file to fetch data(email contents) from the database.
    on the servlets, the codes mention 'sendmail'.. i assume the system is using sendmail(although i could be wrong) and i did a grep on the whole webapp directory but i can't find any thing on 'sendmail'..
    i know this is a wild goose chase, but if any of the jsp/java guru can suggest me what to do from here and so on.. i'd be greatly appreciated.. thx!

    Most probably the sending of the mails is not done in java/jsp.
    Sending out the mail will be done with the program "sendmail" http://www.sendmail.org/
    My guess would be that there is a process scheduled that looks for the file generated by your servlet every hour, and processes it with sendmail. It is not necessarily in the web-apps directory, so you might want to expand your search a bit. Once you find what is processing this generated file, you should be on your way to solving it
    Good luck,
