Root , root , root

What does lord this janjevac in item 3 is stupid. I've root phones, samsung galaxy mini, samsung galaxy s2, Lg, but often use SuperOneClick or use the program runme.bat.Am done exactly how he writes, and SuperOneclick stops at step 7, if, and freezes there.

After all, how do I root this phone.??? I bought Saturday V1.0.13 about it.

MTK USB PORT - COM11

MTK USB PORT - COM9

MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port - COM10

9. Open file SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.ini from Tools/SP folder.

10. Prescribe the COM port from USBdeview on Channel0 in Ports and PreLoaderPorts, if number of the port is

Hey guys, sorry for bothering you with my problems, and I am probably asking for something very stupid, but I have a mobile phone: Prestigio PAP4040 DUO and was without password or patter. My little sister :mad: put a password on my phone that she does not remember and begs me not to tell our parents :crying: because she already did that before with my mom's phone. It won't be a problem for me to delete all the data because I know all the contacts on my phone and I don't have anything special. But after i followed that link I downloaded some files and then what? What should I do? Could someone PLEASE tell me how to unlock my phone. By the way, I have tried like 4375874454876948983502895 passwords on my phone and every 5 times i type the wrong password it tells me to wait 30 seconds. It does not send me to the place where i should write my e-mail and probably unlock my phone. It requires only password and that's all.

Google Play Services

Hi everyone,

I've had some trouble updating from 1.0.13 .. so I kind of gave up as currently everything is working for me, I've got root, CWM recovery, modified partitions and so on. All I need is Google Play Services that will work.. As everyone knows, they are broken in anything before 1.0.14 and reinstalling from Play Store is not an option because of duplicate ID problem.

So could someone package just Google Play Services from 1.0.14/1.0.15 as an update, so I can do it through CWM or something? I don't need anything else that's "fixed" (or broken) from 1.0.14/1.0.15, just those Play Services so I can finally use some apps that require it.

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
1) power off the phone

2) hold "volume up" and power up the phone (hold the volumeUp button until the phone starts and you will se "recovery-mode" mesage in bottome-left corner

*3) holding "volume down" instead the volume up will send you to factory mode, which (I believe) is useless for most of us, so do not do that and stick with recovery mode

(how to navigate/do something useful) in there:

1) press "Home HW button" (second buton with home icon) to show the menu

2) navigate using volumeUp (up) / VolumeDown (down)

3) activate selected command with the "Menu HW button" (first button with the thre lines icon)

--a) first the line with "factory reset" label

--b) then the line with "reboot" label when the reset is done

*4) if you will stay inactive on the "broken android" screen for too long, the phone will reboot itself to normal mode again

Thank you! Now i can access my phone. But someone said that all my data would be deleted. I still have my music and photos and i can't call anyone. Is that normal?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
yes, only "system" things should be deleted, which (of course) means configuration of the system but it also means settings from some aplications (which do not store them separately in own folders), and also that applies to saved games and such. And on the other hand, it can result in remaining "abandoned" folders from aplications that were deleted (if any) during the reset and some other aplication might not see their data because they got reconfigured during the process.

It is not easy to say what exactly will be lost after factory reset (except for the base system configuration/account). Best you check out for yourself and see, if you were lucky (while chosing apps to install/use) it is even possible that you lost none/nothing of them during the reset...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
uhm, what is that "dying droid""? is any screen (photo) possible?

have you tried toutching the hw buttons while on that screen, as I have described few post earlier?

how are you entering the recovery? can you describe it by your own words so we can be sure you followed my description precisely and have not messed it ('cause somebody already posted messed howto here previously)?

and last but probably most important: what version of firmware are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reliant101:
hey

hello,

I have touched the home button as i read in an earlier post ,the metod whitch i entered was by pushing the power button and the volum + button at the same time then the home buton then it showed me the droid whit the exclamation in a triangle.And my version of firmware that i have is pap4040duo.20130403.v1.0.15
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
ah, I see, so:

I checked on my phone, and yes, based on your screen it looks like you are in the recovery, just to confirm that: before that screen, there was a gray something (android), and in bottom left corner there was message "Entering recovery..." (or something very similar). Is that right?

next, it seems you have newer FW than me - I have PAP4040DUO.20130312.V1.0.15, so we both have v15, so I guess there should be no difference, unless Prestigio disabled the standard recovery controll in the newer version for some reason (which seems unlikely to me). But if that is the case, then I would expect some other key or key combination would unlock the menu, but in that case I have no way to gues which would work for you. I would suggest you try to experiment with it, there is no way do do anything wrong from while the splahscreen is on)

and last - you should touch the home button AFTER you are on the the screen from the picture. I have tried it just now on my phone and the menu shows up withou problems or delays. So, just to eliminate possible problems: your home buttons works normaly when you are in normal phone mode, right? can you double check it? Also in the recovery screen, make sure you are not holding any other buttons or touching the screen and the "real" buttons (+/-/power) are not locked down - you can try tu push them separately, as mentioned, it should do nothing on the dead-android screen
