Lol, I know you like suggesting that thread when these kinds of questions pop up, but.....

I'm, not sure how much help they'll get there. But I'm certain they'll find the solution to the issue by going to a forum that is more appropriate. It's about where is the best place to find their answer, not whether we have an area here for their issue. A forum dedicated to PC is a much better place than just one thread here.

It's best to refer PC users and Mac/Apple users to a more appropriate forums for their platforms.

I'm just saying, what is more helpful?

Suggesting a thread where someone there "might" know the answer?

Or suggesting somewhere that someone is more likely, or even certain, to know the answer?

For 500 dollars you should get a decent device, especially if you consider refurbished models too, that's what I'd do... Good luck!

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Just extract the boot.img from the firmware you're running right now (it's clearly explained in the unsu release post and written in recovery that you'll need to flash a clean boot image after using unsu) and patch it in magisk manager, after this process you should be able to flash the image in twrp by using the "flash image" option instead of "flash zip", just select the "boot partition" as target... Just look it up on Google if you don't know what I mean!

I just can't make sense of your statement regarding the looked bootloader, how can you have TWRP on a bootloader locked device? That's typically impossible...

Ask about santin n1

Hello for everyone!

As this theme specially for noobs I want to ask

This is noname device called Santin N1 which you can find in Aliexpress . It works with CPU MediaTek MT6757CD (also called Helio P25), has 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM

I got this device and it is amazing but its firmware is horrible. It will be great to have well-working firmware like Lineage OS

Did anyone buy this device? Or maybe it is possible to find stable custom firmware?

At this moment I have beta version of Lineage OS 14 based on Android 7.1 but it isn't stable and has many bugs

If you are interesting of it, I can get a link to download LOS beta for this device

Could you share a screenshot? Sounds pretty shady, it could be something like an ad ware.

In most cases, a factory reset should fix this.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
I'm not familiar with your device but I was in a similar situation a few years ago with a noname mediatek based device. As it turned out (according to the scene at that time at least), you could run most any custom ROM which was based on your device's SoC after doing some simple tweaks to the ROM's files.

I'm not updated with the current situation but you may want to look into this and if you could get in touch with a developer who has experience with MTK devices, they could probably point you to the right direction.

You don't just need the aboot, you need a hex-edited aboot to get rid of the red text warning. And you can only flash the hex-edited aboot if you are s-off. It won't work if you are s-on, and I believe you s-on are from a post I saw earlier on the HTC 10 Q&A forum.

How to increase swap and zram usage ?

Android 6.0

Firmware: ftp://relay.alkotel.ru/Smartphones/TM-5580/

boot.img can be edited with en.romzhushou.com

system.img can be edited with romzhushou.com

I tried edit kernel binary, enable patch kernel to overclock CPU to 2Ghz (as #define MT_OFFICIAL_TURBO in sources) , but i can't increase swap usage, current swap usage... something ..~20%?

I tried enable swap file, increase zram size, but phone use only 120-150MB swap.

System can't use more than 120-150MB swap(+zram). All apps and games crashes with small RAM... (I tried compensate this with increase zram/swap size, but system can't use more than 120-150MB swap(+zram) size....)

If I flash the recovery and the bootloader isn't unlocked will my normal os work properly???
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
Device dependent but generally yes. That said, if the bootloader is locked your recovery options are limited should something go wrong. Best boot (vs flash) a custom recovery unless 100% confident of the outcome.

Note: some vendors restrict the ability to boot a custom recovery and/or limit the functionality of other fastboot commands if the bootloader is (re)locked.

Windows 10 PC not recognizing phones

Hi all, i have a Wileyfox swift and a Moto G5 that i have been trying to plug into my pc via usb, i have tried 2 windows 10 computers, 3 cables, all 7 USB ports on the PC, both phones, i have tried with and without USB debugging, i have installed specific drivers for the phones after clearing previous drivers. In all cases the phone never has any interaction with the PC and doesn't show up on device manager. Please tell me there is a simple solution i have just missed.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Drivers are for the device to respond in fastboot mode only. For Adb commands Click 7 times on build no. to enable developer options. You should find it in about phone. A new option in menu should appear. Then allow USB debugging from there. Then run command ''adb devices'' and allow the prompt from your phone. Check on 'always allow' if it is your pc.

Now adb commands should work:fingers-crossed:. Be sure to like it!!:p
[General Questions and Answers] Gustoman:
That's what i have been trying, i should have mentioned that "adb devices" shows no connected devices and i get no prompts on both the PC or my phone, i have tried to just run commands such as "adb fastboot reboot" ect to see if it works but to no avail. I'm really lost as iv'e replaced everything in the system apart from myself. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You didn't verify whether you have enabled Developer options to turn on USB debugging.

You also don't mention if you did anything that might have caused this, such as flashing something, removing something or modifying something and caused a bootloop, softbrick or hardbrick.
[General Questions and Answers] Gustoman:
I should have made that more clear. The moto G5 hasn't been tampered with since new however i don't know the full history of the wileyfox, tomorrow i will get a friends phone to check my PC and also may visit the library to check the phones on another PC. 3rd time lucky?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It doesn't work on stock kernels, it doesn't work on devices with SELinux policy set to enforcing mode, it requires permissive mode instead and it doesn't work on non-rooted devices.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Then the fail it´s not out, it´s in your device or both catched a good virus from same environment.

Go to developer options/USB configuration and choose MTP (to allow transfer media files) and force it to act disabling/enabling.

If this doesn´t work when you take a backup try doing a format data.

You have to place adb folder in main directory where drivers also are installed, and open the command in the same folder to do it easier, just if you are not doing correctly you have to type with device on

adb devices

and to send it to fastboot mode won´t work

adb fastboot reboot

but

adb reboot bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] scorpio76r:
What recover are you referring to? If you are talking about twrp, that's going to be a no-go.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
did you change from charge only to mtp?????
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Let me tell you in detail. I have a Lenovo vibe k5 note. I have been told that the bootloader is locked but not enforced. So if I flash a recovery when allow oem unlock is enabled, it will work! It's not a spare phone, so if my device doesn't boot into SYSTEM it would be a problem. So I would like to know if I can boot into system. Now if the answer is no, will flashing the stock recovery work??
[General Questions and Answers] Gustoman:
As I just stated the options of charge only, file transfer mtp and the such never come up, the phone and the pc both don't seem to recognise that they are connected, and as I have used several cables and usb ports I don't know why this is.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If I´m not wrong this is a mtk (MT6755M) based device, first of all many of these devices have a bootloader very permissive, it´s mean that they don´t have many restrictions to allow flash some modified file onto it (but of course could be some restrictions).

If there is not by now available a method to unlock bootloader but there is a TWRP that can run you can flash it using SPFlash Tool, previously copy Magisk zip on the sdcard, then to flash it first you have to do is reboot to recovery before to reboot to system, in TWRP it´s probably that in order that you can reboot it´ll be necessary flash Magisk (to do your boot booteable) or format data (you will lose all your data).

Now at your question, with a plan B the bases are covered, if something goes wrong you can flash again the rom stock without any trouble.

I saw/verified that this was possible in various devices running L, MM and even early N 7.0 but some restrictions were implemented for newer versions so actually it´s pretty sure that this won´t work, it´s mean that a recovery maybe can be flashed but it´s unlikely that bootloader allows device to boot.

Was just about to thank you for your other post as it clarifies what the other user was trying to say, thanks for providing the pictures as well though. The problem still persists however.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I think at a quick glance that actually the issue can be related to two rhings, if software; you have to perform a format data including your internal, ext sdcard and maybe reflashing the original firmware (I'm still think that it's a virus) and if hardware; one of the pins where it's able to transfer data is damaged in your device due to some USB cable that was not manufactured for was used forcing it.(this is just a theory)
[General Questions and Answers] Gustoman:
thank's for the help, i have ruled out the hardware as i am able to tether data to my PC via my phone. so software is the way, i don't use any external SD cards so ill try the re-flashing, can i do this as the phone isn't rooted?

If you don't mind, you are asking awkward questions. Platform tools has slight connections with root. At least you don't need it for recognition. For better understanding it's better if you send screenshots with every problems from now on to get better suggestions.

Is anyone here accustomed with vivo devices???
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Flashing some specific firmwares don´t overwrite data so better do a format data before if it´s possible through your stock recovery. As you are not rooted I guess that your bootloader it´s also locked then in this case you couldn´t use fastboot to flash some partitions but you have to use the official tool to flash again the official rom. I´m not so familiar with WilleyFox but Motorola devices used to be good with RSDLite Tool to flash firmware onto it.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Some older versions of mtk allow to flash anything in fastboot mode even with locked bootloader but in newer versions this is not possible as far as I know (and I tried). If your rom/firmware contain a scatter.txt and a preloader.bin files then you can add your recovery image (renamed just recovery) in a folder with these two files and flash it using SPFlash Tool; in the same way you can flash a patched-boot for magisk to root it first then it´ll be easier to flash a recovery with a rooted device but if your model/version has other tool specific like many Lenovo devices (despite SPFlash tool has to work too) but the rom format would be different, provide a link to it, we´ll see other method.

Hello everyone,

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do a Google search for:

"How to root (your model number)"

If that doesn't find anything then there is not a known rooting method for your device. If this is the case, you'll have to continue trying using universal one-click android rooting apps, try them all, if none of them work, you'll have to try the various one-click PC programs for rooting android, try them all. If none of them work, you're out of luck unless someone updates one of the rooting apps or PC programs with new exploits and you're lucky enough that one of them works.

Okay, so I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro through StraightTalk and have been looking to transfer various games to my SD card in order to counteract the device's irksomely low internal storage. As far as I've been able to discern, the phone can not be rooted or had that capability patched out earlier in the year and build regression is impossible. I've tried using the stock file transfer, but only a portion of the desired apps seem to transfer. I've tried some programs in the play store that just point to the same or, worse, don't even seem to be able to read the internal storage. The Link2SD app at least seems to acknowledge there are different portions of my game files, like in /data/user/0/<game> but I've seemingly been unable to find a way to access said data to try and move it manually either through file explorer apps or even connecting to my PC.

Xperia z2 tablet on lollipop

I've been having issues with youtube app, both vanced and default.

I updated vanced app, think I also updated busybox, magisk and other stuff because I didn't use the tablet for few weeks. After that and few days it suddenly started freezing up. The app freezes but video keeps going on and then the popup with youtube has stopped responding wait or kill. Sometimes after pressing wait it starts working again but most of the time no. Sometimes google play services starts crashing too.

Ive uninstalled vanced but same goes on with default, i rolled back updates, same, installed different version of both ot and google play and same happens, also cleared cache many times, wiped delvik and cache too to no avail.
