Ok. I did a fresh install of the 6.23.651.6 RUU and Google Play Store is still crashing. That's the only error I'm getting now when I attempt to run the app. I tried clearing the cache, deleting the data, and forcing it to stop--none of these can fix the issue. I wish I knew what the problem is. Well, the good news is GAPPs no longer crashes!

Guys, how the heck do you fix this "error retrieving information from server. [df-dferh-01]" error message I get whenever I try to open the Google Play Store app? I have tried EVERYTHING! I have tried clearing the cache, clearing the data, force stopping the Google Play Store app, and even rebooting my phone afterwards. In addition to that, I have tried doing the same thing to Google Play Store Services. It doesn't matter what I do, this error will not go away. I had the exact same problem on 6.16.651.2.

Have you tried updating playstore and play services, or uninstalling them then reinstalling them. Do the Google apps come with the ROM or are they flashed separately? If you're using a gapps pack then try a different one. I'm not sure if that's you're problem but its happened before.

I hear the Asus laptops are decent for gaming, which series I don't know, I don't get into laptops much because they are limited. I don't really know of any that are really that well on battery life either. It has been my experience that laptops and their batteries are pretty much a failing system anyway, its hard to get a really good one without paying good money for them, they don't have much upgrade ability so they go obsolete fairly quickly as other brands and models advance ahead of your current system, you gotta keep buying laptops to keep up with the pace of the rest of the market.

rooting vs flashing - need a little enlightenment here folks

hi there mates ,newbie here.

:confused::confused: i am quite intrigue, about what it really means if i "ROOT" or "FLASH" a smartphone. reading some threads so far, describes a lot about rooting . as i understand it . rooting means of accessing, the root directory of a phone . that extent privileges to a means that you will be able to modify everything on your phone even with the part or directory which are normally unacessible on factory release(except with pre-rooted RoMs) whenever you feel that suites your style as a user. :o:):)

WHILE. . .:confused::confused::confused:

flashing in my point of view is a PROCESS which is involve. in "ROOTING" basically it is the process where you install a ROM to your device (custom or stock ROMs - built-in kernel or seperated ).

thats why when you, unroot a phone they ussually qoute " you should flash a stock ROM w/c is compatible with your device"

pls. do send me some comments or PMs to enlighten my newbie mind. thanks a lot MATES, a helpful message is much appreciated. :confused::confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanicsky09:
Flashing can only happen after the rooting process has been completed.

Flashing is to write a ROM image (or other file) to a device/chip.

Rooting is the process used to gain full privileges to a device where you are able to edit and change anything. When rooted you will then become the “superuser” of that device. You will typically need a superuser app (SU or superuser are good apps to use) to restrict permissions from some apps, and stop them messing with your device. Most custom ROMs contain the SU app within them by default.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Can somebody explain me what is a ROM and what is a firmware?

What's the difference between the two?

Details are welcomed.

Thanks in advanced :)
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanicsky09:
Firmware is a piece of software that is stored in a device to make it function. It is, unlike ordinary software, usually semi-permanent and resides in a non-volatile storage area which is unaffected by "hard resetting" a device. The term usually refers to low-level code that controls individual hardware components such as a radio rom.

A ROM is the Operating System for the device stored in the ROM (Read-Only-Memory) where it gets it's name.

[General Questions and Answers] Cyanicsky09:
I do not believe that there is any difference in the flashing except that one is flashed to the ROM and the other to a component's theoretical ROM (stored also in the ROM (this is why you can't flash a custom ROM onto an incompatible device because the firmware is different.))

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Could you tell us where did you spot the word "AOSP" ?
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanicsky09:
AOSP is stock android and custom ROMs are different because they have been slightly altered to make them work better or differently and even look different. Custom ROMs are the same as a carrier's skin on an Android device; stock (AOSP) but with extra things added on top.

It is essential to install???

Thnx in advance
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Okay

I used to believe that they are the same thing and I was already used to flashing ROMs but there was this one time when I had to go stock and so I downloaded the stock firmware for my device from XDA and flashed it using SP Flashtool(since it was a MediaTek device).

After flashing I noticed that it had brought me back to my stock ROM, stock recovery and even back to stock Chinese factory.

So what I had concluded myself was that a firmware is the compete software running on phone including all the partitions and utilities like ROM, recovery, bootloader, etc.

Also, a little while ago a user asked in this very thread about what a ROM is?

I tried to explain him what understood myself:

Do you think that both of my definitions are fairly correct?

I downloaded it from Cyanogenmod 12.1 and it's specifically for my phone, I've tried two or three of all they have and happens all the time... sorry for being so stupid :/
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
So I searched the net and to compile my search:

1) Make sure the ROM is specifically for your device.

2) Take a look at the description of the ROM for supported recoveries to flash with. If the ROM only supports TWRP and you're on CWM, then install TWRP(or vice-versa)

3) If your recovery is supported, check if it's the latest version. Update if it's not.

4) (As @ Cyanicsky09 said) the file might be corrupted, try to download using another link.

5) There's also this method that I saw on net where you can edit the updater scrip to make it work.

Yes, you flash an official update through stock recovery, you also flash stock firmware from PC with or without root. Root is needs to flash custom, not stock.

No, root is not needed to flash a stock official update.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

A ROM is generally a custom operating system that has been created for a device to use instead of the stock firmware. Technically what we call ROM is software and Firmware is technically the part of the device's programming that is actually native to the device's hardware and is actually still present and used no matter what ROM or operating system that you use, there are parts that stay in your device and remains there even after flashing. Things like bootloader, modem partition(this is actually mounted to system and interfaces with the operating system for control of your radio or RIL[radio interface layer]). There are a few other parts of firmware that stay after flashing and would still be there even if you completely wiped system and OS, thus the term "firmware" because it actually resides in the devices hardware instead of its system partition in the internal memory, the parts we typically modify are actually "software". For example modem " firmware" is actually stored in the modem, there are files in system for modem but they are only there so the system can mount and interface with modem/radio, the systems modem related files are useless without the firmware that resides in the modem hardware.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
No, but close.

AOSP is the Android Open Source Project. It is Google's own source code that all ROMs are based on. OEMs (original equipment manufacturers eg. Samsung) create their own UI to run on top of the source code, and release "skinned" ROMs with their own apps on it. They are required by Google to include the Google apps as well (GApps).

Since it is open source, developers are free to use it to make their own ROMs from the code. That's what you find here on XDA. Independant developers, many of whom like to work with the AOSP. This is an AOSP based custom ROM.

Also, there are developers who like the skinned ROMs, but want to make their own versions while keeping the UI, and some or all of the OEM's apps. They aren't working with AOSP source code, so this is also a Sense/Touchwiz/Optimus/MiUI custom ROM.

The reason that you have to flash Gapps separately when flashing a custom AOSP ROM, is because of licensing restrictions. They aren't licensed by Google, and can therefore not include the GApps package. The OEMs are licensed because there has to be an agreement when the OEMs advertise with the Android name. (that one was a little addition to the original question)

[General Questions and Answers] rjt.rockx:
Here is my problem :

I need to learn how to modify kernel sources of other devices having the same chipset, to work on my device.

Here is my situation :

I own a MediaTek MT6582 - based Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus device, a variant of the Coolpad 7295C device.

It has a 3.4.5 kernel and an Android 4.2.2 stock ROM.

I have installed a custom ROM ported from another device (Micromax Canvas 2.2).

It has no kernel sources and/or AOSP sources.

I am desperately trying to modify other kernel sources to create a kernel source for my device, so that the device's owners (including me) can get a Kitkat build, and not be stranded at Jelly Bean 4.2.2

The thing is, I have no idea of how I am going to do so.

I have forked a kernel source of a similar device (Lenovo A850) into my Github.

I am running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (dual boot) on my 32-bit system.

The processor has no support for virtualization technologies.

However, with some workarounds, I can emulate 32-bit systems using vmWare player or VirtualBox, but 64-bit virtualization is a doubt.

I have no knowledge of Ubuntu or any Linux distro, but I'm familiar with the ROM structure and porting.

Again, for creating newer updates to my device, I need a kernel source, which my device currently does not have, but similar devices have.

These similar devices are :

Micromax Canvas A1, Spice Dream Uno, Karbonn Sparkle V (Android One devices - Indian).

Lenovo A850.

and many more I dont know about.

I still maintain this device, and I can be found at my thread at http://xdaforums.com/android/general/roms-recoveries-karbonn-titanium-s5-t2906329

Mine is a dual sim device, and the specifications can be found at http://www.gsmarena.com/karbonn_titanium_s5_plus-5925.php

Now i m confused to install cwm or twrp which r the custom recovery??

As i m Flash using cf auto root so is it compatible with cwm or twrp???

Suggest me which is best for my p3100 tab 2

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
You can choose either one.

CWM and TWRP both are custom recoveries.

CWM is quite basic but has most of the features that you'll ever need.

It is also small in size.

TWRP has a ton of features with an interactive GUI which is much easier to use as it also supports touch.

A good idea to choose one of them is to see which one does your ROM developer prefers to flash their ROM with.

Go to the ROM thread that you are planning to flash and read the full description, in there you should find which custom recovery is preferred by the developer.

If no recovery is mentioned in the description then you can flash any recovery of your choice.
