The best bet is start from the scratch, download official rom and flash it using apply update if it´s working. This update won´t work if you don´t have a recovery stock working so flash it through fastboot and then put it in recovery and try now with adb sideload or applying directly from sdcard.

I wonder if there is other official tool like a Qualcomm downloader to flash a factory image, if yes then you can use it too.

Bootloader reads at a low level status of device so evidently you damaged seriously the partition on charge of this info and you need to restore it flashing again official rom.

It looks that this Philz is not suitable for your device, Flash this https://drive.google.com/open?id=17NAgTw0C7qQV9bByafy8oBIQyz-yrqU6 and this boot through SPFlashTool

Now i can't enter recovery anymore
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You don´t have your recovery stock to try to made one suitable. I´m not sure if this work, if not then as I thought firstly you would need to find a complete rom to restore partitions, it could be secro or persist.

With this one phone reboots when selecting recovery mode.

I guess only system partition is broken?

I could flash boot and recovery so they should work, but w/o working system it won't boot?!

So all i need is to get flashable system.img?

Thats why i try'ed to convert that system.new.dat. Well right now i'm not completely sure about the broken system thing cuz i can't mount it. So whats wrong with that?

I used flash tool to bring back normal recovery.

Mount /system throws out

I:[1]v->mount_point = /system, v->flags = 1, v->fs_options=(null)

E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

in kernel messages it says

[182:recovery] EXT4-fs (mcblk0p20): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

Is there a way to format system with ext4?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
System can be formatted but adb doesn´t work for you and I guess you need also root.

You can try to port TWRP for your device atleast with some basic functions to bypass this issue and try a way out (it´s not so difficult), then in TWRP you can try to do some things via terminal and have a view with a wider angle of the status, if system files are present and more. I can do it for you but it´s most difficult so I´m not owner of this device and it could be needed correct again and again.

I personally think that you have some partitions corrupted, probably not only system but secro, persist, usercache, etc and the best way to solve this is flashing an entire rom; I wonder why Acer don´t provide one cause the downloaded before looks just like an OTA update.

There is other thing you can try like a last resort (be careful cause is a little risky although I did it many times in mtk devices) and you´ll know atleast if your system is damaged or not present (erased); download a rom from a similar device mt6737M same version (MM, N) extract only system.img (only this file, don´t use other) and flash it, if device pass from bootlogo and atleast shows bootanimation then your system is ok and maybe you even could try to port it.

Those are the disadvantages to have a device with no development nor official support and running a weak firmware, it´s like to run against the win.
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
Ok now i'm confused i found some lines in recovery log like ro.boot.hardware=mt6735 and others saying mt6737m.

So i checked the sticker inside phone it says Model No. T09 and SNID: 717007914635

When i type in SNID on Acer website it returns Liquid Z6E which is Model No T10

For the T10 i find stock rom can i use that?

please I cant find help nowhere.I uninstalled supersu from my vorke z6 tv box to watch tv from my provider's app (it worked) but as I dont live without root...can anyone tell me hiw to install magisk without twrp?or if anyone knows how to install twrp and which version to this box,so I can install magisk.thanks dudes.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
About the input mt6735 inside a mt6737 device this is normal, some properties from it are present included in mt6757 and others , your device is a mt6737 variant but probably with a difference in the version that you found now, it could be there the mistake, try with this firmware
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I´m not familiar with tv boxes, there are some probable methods but firstly according an user from here http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...others-aml-s912/689356-vorke-z6-twrp-recovery is possible install Magisk using update from same device, enlarge the image to try with same version of Magisk
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
That did not work.

I found another thing

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html

So i followed that guide and now i have a folder with all that stuff.

https://imgur.com/a/JDbvvc7

Can i use this or is it broken too?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If the files are from your own device you can flash them. Try it and comment
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
Yes i made that readback thing with sp flash tool, but how to flash them?

Can i zip them and put on sdcard or do i need to do more?

Remember fastboot oem unlock no longer working after flashed the files you gave me, so fastboot flash not possible.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, you can´t flash this rom if you zip it so your recovery need a proper updater-script to can work.

These files are to be flashed through SPFlash Tool.

The files provided are from your own device linked in the official site and a boot and a recovery modded can´t relock your bootloader. If you want to unlock it again (if it was previously unlocked) do it at the same way. First flash your original boot and then try it varying the command; there are some variants for this, most known is

fastboot oem unlock

or

fastboot oem unlock-go

and yet more.
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
Using flash tool with that stuff gives error.

I flashed boot.img from OS_Acer_Acer.T09.AV0M0.1.035.00.EMEA.GEN1_A60M_A.zip with sp flash tool, but still get fastboot error. "Unlock operation is not allowed" and on phone it says "Unlock failed" after pressing the button
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Put the scatter.txt from the zip; mt6737.
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, scatter from my zip, which you used to flash your boot.
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
Ohhh, that could work...

I got some other advice how to build a new system.img i will try when finished
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Remember Assayed Kitchen yesterday? You don't need two tools to made the process.

Follow the same as yesterday but varying some steps; if you already have a system folder and a boot put them inside Work folder, then choose build rom, put the name and other stuff that tool will ask you and in format you will have three options : dat, raw and zip, choose raw or img and let the tool finishes, before to zip the files for recovery you will find system. img file in place folder.
[General Questions and Answers] nickless07:
So i use the acer zip and just copy over boot.img and extracted system folder in 'work'?

uhm wait a sec... isn't that the same thing i did yestarday, which did not worked?

Edit: Nevermind, got it. Brain not fast enough at 2am. It's the same i did, but the way i put it on device is different.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Not exactly, put boot and system folder inside Work folder, you chosen zip rom [standalone] to pack it and flash it but now you will choose raw image.

I use Google assistant to sent text messages. Is there any way to have the assistant read aloud the message that will be sent? I drive for a living and sometimes Google assistant doesn't hear me correctly over the sounds of the truck and I end up sending messages that don't make sense.

Also is there a way to have Google assistant send out a group message?

Is there an app that will read aloud group messages?

I already have an app called sms reader to read incoming sms messages to me.

I have a Galaxy Note 9 SD version if it makes a difference. Thank you in advance.

***Edit 10-18***So today while driving Google assistant read aloud the messages being sent. But it won't always do this. Not complaining, but it's weird timing for it to start doing this.

*URGENT* NEED help about my android SCREEN

My device is Xiomi Redmi 5. It's about 3-4 months old. So about a month ago my phone got wet due to rain (and my stupidity). So it was completely bricked, wasn't even taking charge. So I went to a repair shop and they fixed it for about $15(800 rs in India). So now my screen is starting to act weirdly. I don't know what to do! Exact condition is as follows-

I can use the touchpad, I mean the touch is working. When I open from locked state its fine except for a small vertical portion in top left, after some seconds of any usage the screen fades in white. And a whitish effect starts to happen. Some times it is clear three vertical coloumns from top to bottom, sometimes it is one. It slowly changes. I've even noticed white and red vertical stripes. Over time the white becomes prominent, but you can still see(barely) the contents on the screen. I tried restarting, but didn't work.

Sorry can't upload the pictures because it is my first post.

Thank you.

Hoping someone can help me out, Huawei Mate 10 Pro user here, I enrolled my voice with the Google app, everything was fine and working but then, whenever I told Google to call or text someone, it would just close, no message, no error, nothing, I checked all permissions, disabled to app then re enabled it, cleared cache, uninstalled updates, even downloaded the Google Assistant app from the Playstore which someone recommended for me to do, and I got the same result, anyone have any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Check the this linked page for current issues or report it there if necessary, the issue seems not due to your setup (at least judging from the troubleshooting you already did), it might be a "official" bug with the app version you're using:

https://support.google.com/assistant/?hl=en
[General Questions and Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Just to clarify, do I need the Google assistant installed from the Playstore separate from my existing Google app, they both seem to be the exact same thing?

Also, I checked out that link you sent already before asking the question, it seems some people are having near enough the same issue as me but they get a message back off Google saying it cannot do that, whereas mine just closes.

Thank you for the reply btw
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah same thing, the "Assistant App" is just a shortcut actually, the Assistant is a feature of the Google App and therfore you can't use the Google App with a separate account than the Assistant the same time, you could only log in to your phone with another account and use Google/Assistant, that's what I understand, I'm also not aware of any modifications/hack that would allow this... Sorry
[General Questions and Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
So I'm okay to uninstall the assistant app from Playstore and just use Google assistant through the Google app since they're the same right?,

Still can't seem to find a fix for this text/call issue I think all I can do now is wait for the next Google app update to rollout and see if that fixes it
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Yes, that absolutely works...

That seems to be the best idea, at least I have not better one :)

Moving Texts and conversations

Hi guys im trying to move from a very old android device (LGP690F) to a bit of a newer one (Moto G5). I'm trying to move all my texts/conversations with SMS backup and restore and it works somewhat... When the transfer finishes happening the numbers sometimes get their codes mixed up. Some switch to the Australian international one (+61) while some switch back to the national one (04) . Anyone know an app that would copy them as exactly as they are. I have also tried backup your mobile which did the same thing.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
I think Titanium Backup is what you're looking for, it however needs root and I'm not sure if the free version allows this transaction, I never used the free version...

I heard rather good things about SMS Backup+, it's definitely worth a try as it's open source and doesn't need root privileges (from what I understand but I never used it myself).

By the way, SMS Backup & Restore is a generic function of Android's setup wizard starting from Android 8.1, so this shouldn't be a problem again on your next device...

Good luck!
