And you can't just ask your dad to buy you a new phone?

You could always give it to your mom or any other relative instead of hard bricking it and ask your dad to get yourself a new one:confused:

Anyway if you're dead set on replacing it and is having trouble bricking it ,just toss it down and break the display or something like that

both end result will be a useless phone anyway :p

Digiland DL718M - Restore System Directory

My question, is there a way to restore the system directory on a DL718M tablet that no longer has root, or CWM, or TWRP?

The patient has 5.1 that was rooted by KingRoot. I then tried to replace it with SuperSU. But something went wrong and one of the SU files in /system/xbin is sitting a zero bytes. KingRoot can not reroot the device because of it.

Just so happens, when I bought the patient; I actually purchased two of them because they were on sale.

So I have run KingRoot on the "Donor" DL718M and I think I have backed up the system directory to a SD Card using cat /dev/mnt16 > /storage/sdcard1/system.img

How can I transfer that to the "Patient" DL718M that doesn't have root?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can boot to fastboot mode on the device, you can flash the system.img via fastboot.

install adb/fastboot minimal on PC.

Open a command prompt.

Boot to fastboot mode, connect device to PC.

Type:

fastboot devices (press enter, if it returns a serial number you're connected)

Change directory in command prompt until you get to the folder that you have the system.img file saved in, make sure your system.img is named system.img and nothing else.

Then type:

fastboot erase system (press enter)

Then type:

fastboot flash system system.img (press enter and let it do its thing)

When its done, type:

fastboot reboot (press enter)

You're done.

If it bootloops, try booting to recovery and wipe cache only, then reboot.

I placed the device in fastboot mode by selecting it from the Recovery, Fastboot, Normal menu. It dropped to "=> FASTBOOT mode..."

Ran ./fastboot devices and it returned a serial number

Ran ./fastboot erase system

Tried to just write over the top of it.

Ran ./fastboot flash system ./system.img

It responded with:

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

erasing 'system' ...

FAILED ( remote: unknown command)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You're not using the ./ in the commands are you? If so, they don't belong there, type the commands exactly like I typed them, no punctuation except for the . in system.img.

Did you make sure you changed directory in command prompt until you were in the folder that your .img is stored in, you have to be in that folder when you enter the fastboot flash command.

Are you sure you used the correct method to dump system.img from the other device?

but is it possible to modify apps so they can run on older android version. like an app made for lollipop can be modified to run on android 2.36 ?
[General Questions and Answers] xDantehh:
Most likely not because they require a higher SDK with more functions to run properly. You can contact the developer of the app if they can rebuild it for 2.3
[General Questions and Answers] shahbaaz.shanti63:
so there is nothing I can do on my own right ? :)
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
Try decompiling it and changing the Android manifest.XML,

Change the min SDK version,API level comparing with the Android version you want it to run
[General Questions and Answers] shahbaaz.shanti63:
Thank you :)

can you give me a short description on how to do it ? as I am a noob :|

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
First you'll need to set up apktool ( http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tool-apk-easy-tool-v1-02-windows-gui-t3333960 ) for decompiling and recompiling an apk and then a proper tool for editing .XML files.

In short you'll have to

1)decompile it

2)edit the manifest.XML

3)save changes and recompile

4)sign it if necessary

As for proper guides ask uncle Google

P.s if the app you're trying to run needs an environment provided by higher Android versions it's unlikely it will run properly

Lower versions are excluded for a reason :p
[General Questions and Answers] shahbaaz.shanti63:
thank you :) I will try it :)

question about zte n800 and encryption failing

My daughters phone won't boot to main menu and says encryption failed and the device needs to be factory reset, so i click the factory reset button and it only restarts to boot up to the same screen over and over. HELP please!
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Actually the factory reset should resolve the encryption, this is the standard procedure to unencrypt the phone - unfortunately the encryption thing isn't implemented to well on some phones, means one tries to encrypt the phone but it fails, then factory reset to get rid of the encryption but at that point it won't boot anymore..

There was someone here with the same problem 4 weeks ago, only solution was to reflash the phone with its firmware if available - if not you're pretty much out of options to my knowledge..

which device is it ? and describe the problem in details once again please :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What is the model number? When you factory reset, did you also wipe cache partition, if you didn't wipe cache, that might be why it isn't booting.

Hello, noob here, looking for help with something, this is my first post BTW.

My phone is a HTC evo 4g lte.

I unlocked it, installed TWRP, and cyanogenmod 10.2 and it's rooted.

Still S-ON, couldn't get rumrunner to work.

My question is how do I increase the headphone volume for music?

I don't have a tog3 file, what I have is a folder named soundimage in system\etc. In that folder is a file named srs_global.cfg. I think this is the file I need to mess with, but not sure. In that file I see gain settings for different devices, I think that's probably what I need to change. I would like to be able to turn it up until it's just plain out of power. Am I on the right track? Is this a good place to post this?

This forum was a great resource for figuring out adb and fastboot, as well as unbricking my phone using fastboot flash, and flashing the boot.ini.
[General Questions and Answers] shahbaaz.shanti63:
You want to increase the volume of the speakers ?
[General Questions and Answers] Derpsalot:
No, just the headphones if I can. After installing CyanogenMod, the headphones are much quieter. I just want it back to what it was.
[General Questions and Answers] shahbaaz.shanti63:
there are apps in the playstore :)

just search "volume booster".

CAUTION THEY CAN DAMAGE YOUR SPEAKERS AND HEADPHONES. SO TRY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

There are exposed mods too. you can give them a try if you have exposed framework installed.

just search Google for exposed framework for your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
You'll have to flash stock ROM through spft to unbrick ,then flash a custom recovery and flash your port from there.

But normal porting of 3.10.54 mm roms don't generally boot cuz you have to do some modifications on your own in the kernel/ril files.

3.4.67 kernel doent need any for self modifications for booting mm roms.

I'm in college atm and can't change your kernel/zimage for you.

Good luck

HTC m7 CM 13 bootloop

Hey people,

I believe I googled and tried almost everything what can be found about my issue but still nothing is working.

So.

SuperSU asked to update but for mistake I pressed twrp instead of normal (I'm using stock CM recovery) and my problems started. Phone bootlooped on CM boot animation and I started to google my problem. After long time of nothingness I decided to factory reset my phone.

So I went to recovery, wiped cache and choose full system wipe. Now my phone is looped on HTC loading screen (white screen with HTC logo on it) and nothing is working. I'm able to boot recovery.

I also tried to connect my phone via USB to PC, so maybe I can fix that via computer but it shows information that my USB device is unrecognizable. I wanted to post some logs but I'm unable to reach them; I tried to check them from recovery but after I choose one - screen blinks and sent me one screen back.

Is it possible to do anything with it or my smartass just took this smartphone down?

I am not positive that I backed up the system properly.

Tried one tutorial that claimed cat would do it. I don't think that will get the needed configuration files.

Tried another tutorial that claimed dd would do it. Again, I don't think that will get the needed configuration files.

I was able to run "adb backup -all -system" on the donor device and "adb restore backup.ab" on the patient device. This allowed kingroot to successfully reroot the patient device. Which was my main goal.

So now back to attempting to replace kingroot with supersu, which is what caused me to lose root in the first place.
