Yes, I know it is a China phone and yes, I know it is probably a pain in the but to root and find custom roms for, but still. It is damn CHEAP!

Anyways, I have tried to root this phone without success. I have tried SuperOneClick and other funky scripts I found online, but still no go.

I was hoping someone could give me some pointers when it comes to rooting these "no-name" china phones with custom firmwares.

This specific phone has some CD-R KING custom rom with Android 4.0.8.

They claim it has 1500mhz CPU, but I'm skeptical.

It's most likely has this CPU:

MT6573: ARM11 (ARMv6) CPU at 650 MHz / GPU: PowerVR SGX 531 / 3G,HSPA compatible

But I don't see any signs of 3G.

However, the phone is running pretty fine overall.

This is the info I get from "Android System Info":

Ok, I managed to root it :)

Now it's clear that it has a 650mhz CPU. However, it seems it is pre-clocked to 806mhz.

No luck with ClockWorkMod though. Is there some other recovery software that can be used with these China "no-name" phones?

I'm not allowed to post URLs on this forum, but you will probably find it if you search for "RootTool_setup.exe" on Google. The icon should be blue with a shield on it. The program is in Chinese.

Hi,

I also have the same problem on stock samsung ROM (XWLSD) with SpeedMod kernel installed.

A lot of l2_hsic wakelocks and strange battery life. I've tried to change kernels, disable GoogleMaps, etc. Nothing helped.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
I have several questions that hopefully some of you could answer for me.

1. I tried to put some .pdf's on my phone via PC cable. I placed them under "Download" folder. But they do not appear there. Other .pdf's which I have downloaded with the phone are there, but the ones I copy there via PC do not appear up.

2. When using google maps, is it not possible to set a destination or target by using the map, and without having to actually know the address? Just like dekstop google maps "From here/To here"

3. Is it not possible to navigate by only using the GPS? It makes no sence really to require an internet connection as I have saved parts of the map in use for offline use. I tried the navigation but it wouldn't find the destination.

4. I would like to set "Tasks", but I could not find a proper way to do it. When I do it via calendar, the reminder is not a proper alarm (just a small ding or so, very easy to miss). Id like an alarm similiar to the watch alarm.

5. I've read several methods to root my phone. Which one is the easiest and "cleanest"? And a way to allow me to un-root my phone right after. Would this be a good guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/115297/how-to-root-your-android-why-you-might-want-to/

And should I unlock the bootloader?

6. Does the phone not have the stock capability to record sound? And to record a phone conversation? I come from a flip phone, and those did. Do I really need an app for that?

Thank you all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
I. Send the .pdf's to your email instead. Very easy. Or save them to your sd card.

2. To set a destination jurt long press where you want to go and a menu will pop up. From the menu you can choose route or navigation. You can then input the from address.

3. You can navigate using just the map - follow the blue line- without a data connection as long as you input and download the from and to adress before you swithch of the data connection.

4. I do not use tasks so much but the Google calendar works for me and the reminder is loud enough. I even get an email with sound as a reminder.

5. I can't help you here. I have a Note II and see no reason to root…just yet.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
^Since he can't answer 5, I'll try. Firstly do NOT use a toolkit. They may be the easiest way of rooting, but if you run into issues (and trust me, if you take advantage of root you probably will at some point) a toolkit won't help you at all. Take the time to do it manually, so that when it comes to the worst you'll know how to sort your phone out. If you look in the stickied threads there's definitely a full guide somewhere (I think in the N4 General forum).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
Thanks for the replies.

1. Thata is not really an options. I have some pdf's several mb's big. Nexus 4 also does not have an SD card. There must be a folder where I should place them (or any other files for that matter). I copied over my music and video files in the appropriate directories and those work fine.

2,3. Without internet, I only get "Loading address..." or "Getting driving directions" loading sign, and just stays that way. My location is found via GPS, and the map grid is saved for offline usage. When I save the map grid, does that not save all the addresses in that grid?

I have also added another question in the OP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickout:
1) Do they appear on your PC ? Can you see them with a file explorer (ES File Explorer, for example) ?

2/3) To set a destination, you have to be connected to the internet, whatever you do. I think it's because Maps need internet to set the itinerary and download the part's map that will be cached on your device.

5) I think too that rooting it manually is the best solution.

6) No, it's not possible without having to install an app. If you wan to, I suggest you to install Hi-Q MP3 Recorder. The Lite version should be enough, unless you want to record 10+ minutes. I don't have a clue about recording a phone conversation.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
Yes they appear in my phone "Download" directory when I look at it via Windows Explorer on my PC. Maybe they need to be put in another directory and not "Download"? Like videos go into Video. And pictures into DCIM/Camera

Slightly disappointing in regards to the navigation. I guess I'm SOL if I go outside of coverage area . I mean I'l have the map and GPS location, but I'l have to manually navigate, and keep looking at my phone while driving...

When you want to open a .PDF from your phone, do you use a file explorer or a PDF viewer ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You need something that can decode and display PDFs, i.e. some sort of PDF viewer.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickout:
Yes but some PDF viewers require you to put the PDF files in a specific folder. For example, adobe reader will only "see" files in Download/Adobe Reader but you can change settings so that you can search your PDF through a built-in explorer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you use a file explorer to try and open a PDF, then if you haven't set a file type association, the OS will ask you which program you want to use to open it, then you can choose Adobe Reader. It doesn't matter if it isn't in a particular folder.

Yep, that's why I asked him if he was using a file explorer or a PDF viewer :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
PDF Viewer on the phone you mean?

On the phone, when I go to downloads (the only location I know off where I can view PDF's), apparently it uses Quickoffice to open those PDF's (the one I donwloaded). As I mentioned it does not see PDF's I put there manually via the USB cable from my PC -> Nexus 4 via Windows Explorer.

Just to make sure there isn't any confussion, I can see the PDF I put on my phone in Windows Explorer. But when I use my phone, that PDF will not show up in my "Download".

Is there another place I should put it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
So move the PDFs to a different folder and try again. All I know is I can view them using Adobe Reader in any folder
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickout:
And if it still not working download adobe viewer and try with.

At last, you could download a file explorer app such as ES explorer and open your file with it, it will ask you which app do you want to open the file with

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
The Nexus 4 quickoffice is just a file viewer (it doesn't even have an app icon), so you'll need to use another application to locate your files to open them in Quickoffice.

I recommend using Astro or ES. I've used both and absolutely love them.

Obligatory Sales pitch: There's also a file manager built into the Quickoffice Pro app (and you can connect cloud accounts too) - It's available for $15 here, and it supports PDF annotation for Adobe 5-9 files.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
yep that was the problem. I have installed ES and now I can access my phone files just like on my computer (why wouldnt this be standard?)

I have also installed adobe reader, so I could found the .pdf file too via that app.

Thanks.

Quick side question: I have set-up an email account using the "Email" built in app. However, it changed some privacy settings (stuff like being able to change phone settings, etc) and I clicked accept. Now I would like to review them. Where would those be found? I checked all options in the "Email" app but couldn't find anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
I think (and mind you this is all my own thoughts through observation/reading news), Google is working towards a life in the "cloud", so storage on the device itself kind of defeats the purpose. there's Drive for file management and gdocs, Quickoffice for when you need Office, Google Play Music, Books, Movies, etc.

You can review app permissions under Settings>Applications>All, then select the application you'd like to see the permissions for. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus201:
3: Google maps uses internet to calculate the best route to your destination. While you can view your location offline, any searching does not work - in other words, the actual addresses are not stored in your phone. Only the "picture" of the map is.

4: you can download some app (any.do is awesome), or set the calendar notification sound to something longer. It will still be only a popup, but it will "ring" for longer.

6. yup, you have to find an app for that..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
About navigation, as soon as your phone has calculated the route you can turn data off. As someone have said, Google Maps use data for calculating the fastest route, but afterwards only GPS is required to track your position.

I just got my N4 a few days ago and used this guide to root my phone (stupid easy to follow... even has a video if you need it)

Unfortunately, Android doesn't offer a free offline navigation system like Nokia did (OVI maps was great!) but there are some paid alternatives in Android.

I bought Sygic (http://www.sygic.com/en) and it allows you to download all the maps onto your phone and navigate without internet. Maps for Germany are about 700MB. If you are in the US for example, you can just d/l by State.

Hope that helps!

Doesn't Google need internet to recalculate if you zoom in or zoom out?

To root the phone you will need to unlock the bootloader .As mentioned above it is best to do the process manually so you learn how to root and in the future unroot your phone if necessary

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3238343:
Hi,

I got this phone for over weeks now and noticed a consistent "issue". I have the circles widget on my homescreen and noticed that most of the times when I go back to the homescreen, the circles and other icons there does a "refresh" and gets reloaded on the screen. Is this normal behavior? It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing. Sometimes I can just be texting someone back and forth and I hit the home button to do something and have to wait for it to refresh. Not a huge time killer but still bothersome.

This is a stock XT926 model updated to Jellybean 4.1.1. I don't remember if it was like this in ICS (updated almost immediately when I got the phone). Thought about downgrading to ICS to test this out but after much reading and attempts, I just gave up. I will stick with JB unrooted but want this homescreen refresh problem fixed :crying:

Thanks.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You have to tell us more about what you are running. Just saying rooted is not enough information to diagnose your problem.

Are you running rooted stock? Or do you have a version of CM on it? And if running CM, which version? And are you running it from internal memory or by bootable SD?

Then you say it won't load the memory card. What does that mean?

And you had ROM Manager (which tells me you are running CM instead of rooted stock) boot to recovery it says install failed means you do not have CWM recovery installed on internal memory.

There are so many variables that can make the answers different.

Hey gang, I got this Flytouch 8 tablet last week, model number is BC1003, android version 4.0.4, baseband version 1.5rc4, kernel version 3.0.8+ jackie@ubuntu #68 Sat Dec 8 08:54:36 CST 2012, build number crane_bc1003-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121217 test-keys.

I've tried several options to load the recovery partition, only way I can access the recovery is through the backup and reset menu in settings, if I try to do it with the device powered off and holding the menu and power it just boots normal. I've tried a number of options home+power, vol up or down + home, none work. When I do get into the recovery, I cannot scroll through the options only thing there is the android robot with a red triangle and an exclamtion point.

Recovery version says android system recovery 3e EVB-V13.

I also cant get the sd card to mount. I've tried refromatting it with fat32, fat16, ext3 ext4. everything I get a message saying sd card damaged. I've tried 3 different card and same thing.

Any ideas XDA friends? I would like to put a custom rom like AOSP or CM9 or CM10 on it and clockwork recovery if that is an option. I've searched the net high and low for roms, I find many for other Flytouch tablets, but not Flytouch 8. This is the allwinner A10 processor in this one.

Thanks for your help friends.
