SP flash tool realted

hello xda!

I recently made my Infocus m2 3g (MT6582 chipset) get into bootloop by flashing recovery using uncle tool .. But I made my stockrom backup via mtkdroid tools and used sp flash tool to flash it. then my phone went to a deep sleep..... :(

While flashing it says secure_usb_flash_failed some error message........

I need to know is it not possible to flash a mobile with locked bootloader via sp flash tool or it is?

and if the mobiles preloader gets corrupted is there a way to revive it without changing the chipset ??

I tried rooting for the first time, accidentally flashed bootloader with wrong file. The phone is Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, GT-I9195I. It's stuck in download mode and if i try to press volume up+home+power to boot into recovery mode it still boots into download mode. Am I doomed to take my phone into somewhere and pay all the expenses or is there some solution I haven't tried? The phone doesn't show in Windows, I'm not sure if it still charges.

Are you able to flash anything via Odin?

Is the device detected by odin?As.you said that you can access download mode,Odin should detect your phone.

If I connect my phone to my computer no "Device connected" sound is played. Phone doesn't show up on anything, I've tried two different cables one which is the official one and other one of my older phone.

If I hold the recovery mode combination it just reboots endlessly to download mode. There's "Could not do normal boot" on the top and "ODIN MODE" right under it.

What happens when you try to root a galaxy s6 with Knox version 2.4? I know it voids the warranty but does anything dangerous or permanent happen to my phone?

If the device is able to switch ON and function then it's not bricked, all you've got is a little bit messed up phone.

Are you sure you didn't change any settings?

Did the problem start to show up immediately after the flash?

What root specific apps and mods do you have on your phone?

Do you have a copy of the stock firmware?

I don't know anything about preloader but are you sure that the phone had a locked bootloader?

None of the MediaTek phones I've seen have a locked bootloader.

By the way, If it's still under warranty you can take it to the service center.

ngoenin usual

Hi ! Since I'm not allowed to post in the dev threads I'll try it here and hope that someone can help me.

It concerns my HTC One with Viper Rom 2.0 by Team Venom.

I figured out that the stock kernel that comes with this Rom does not support the Logo2menu button.

The question is ; Which kernel (from the Venom Hub) does support this ? I'm not looking for the most sophisticated options on a kernel, but I would realy like this to work.

Second, do you just flash another kernel with recovery ? Do you need to wipe anything ? Anything else I have to take into account ?

Thanks in advance !

[General Questions and Answers] lindenlauf:
comprehension question on relation between kernel and recovery / root / bootloader

Hi,

I've read a bunch of tutorials and successfully flashed my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro with a custom kernel (first time = newbie). The kernel I used brought me CWM as custom recovery and root access (my phone was already unlocked).

As I've read, root access is achieved by copying two files into /system (e.g. su into /system/bin and Superuser.apk or SuperSU.apk into /system/app) - which needs write access to /system (that's the problem).

And (as I've read) the recovery is a small operating system that resides in /recovery.

My questions are:

(1) Flashing the kernel (in my case: "fastboot flash boot kernel.img") overwrites the /boot partition with the image - the whole /boot and only /boot. How can the kernel then bring root access and CWM? Does it bring the needed files kind of piggyback and moves them into place during first boot?

(2) Booting an android phone means: bootloader -> loads kernel -> loads operating system ("ROM") - am I right?

(2a) Is the bootloader part of /boot-partition (and therefore replaced by flashing /boot), or does it live somewhere else / "deeper in hardware"?

(2b) The recovery is an operating system, so it depends on (is based on / lives on top of) the kernel (how to name it correct)? In case of booting to CWM: bootloader -> kernel -> CWM?

To be clear: I don't have any particular problem to be solved; I just want to understand what's going on "behind the scenes", in order to learn...

Q: Is there a way for samsung admire 4g and use the cdma service only?

Is there any way to bypass simcard check on a a samsung admire 4g and use the cdma service only?

I have a samsung r820 that i bought second hand.The carrier is metro pcs. I don't have the micro sim that appears to have origianally come with the phone. I already unlocked the device and flashed a new prl. the device didn't get service because the sim was missing so i installed an app named "switchit 4g lte toggle" from the market which allowed me to turn the the radio on. I have service now but i cant make any calls because a pop up window keeps appearing "insert Metro PCS SIM Emergency calls only" whenever I attempt to make a call. Is there any method to stop it from doing a sim card check or for it to think ther is a sim card in it?
[General Questions and Answers] cvbarnhart:
What does the handset actually mean when it reports amperage?

I have a Galaxy S4, with several apps that report statistics on the amperage received from a charger. (All of these apps report identical numbers, so I assume they must be pulling the same data from the handset hardware.) However, that data seems flawed, as it often reports receiving more amperage than I have reason to believe the charger is actually sending.

For example, I can connect a charge-only cable (with the data wires shorted) to a computer's USB port, or to a charger with a low output (like 350mA) and the handset will report receiving 1200mA. So far, my testing shows that if the handset sees a shielded cable with shorted data wires, it will usually report 1200mA, regardless of the actual amperage output of the charger.

So, what does the handset actually mean when it reports that amperage data?

viper one browsing

Hello everyone,

I have been running the Viper One rom 2.0 on my HTC One for about a week and I love it but I have one problem. Opening links and web pages in the browser is unbearably slow! It takes ages compared to how blazing fast it was when I was running stock. Also it's not just the browser, I notice it when refreshing tweets or sites it takes a while to load. It's definitely not an internet problem as I have high speed connection and i never had a problem before i flashed this rom. It's really annoying considering that the thing I loved most about my One was how incredibly fast and smooth everything was. I've cleared the cache, tried Chrome and tried three different kernels and the problem won't go away. I'm on the verge of going back to stock because of this which sucks because i love everything else about this rom so I thought I'd ask here before I do it. Any tips or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Ainol Novo 10 Hero II Thread/Section

Hi Guys,

I've just purchased a Ainol Novo 10 Hero II tablet from AliExpress.com.

I'm looking for a good vanilla ROM such as CyanogenMod along with easy step-by-step instructions on how to install CWM and then the ROM along with links to the appropriate files.

Perhaps it's my search technique, but searching XDA for Novo Hero II only came across posts about it's release or issues that people had, but no threads dedicated to getting rid of the Chinese rom and flashing something new.

I noticed that a lot of devices have their own section. Perhaps the Novo Hero II can have one and perhaps some clever person can start a thread to help newbies like me flash something decent onto their tablets.

Thanks for your time.

If you're not worried about backing up and keeping your app data then you can try using Apps2zip to create a flashable zip of all the user apps you want to install. Then you can clean flash ROM then Gapps, then the app zip you created.

Repartitioning Proscan PLT7050 for unified storage

Hi all. I'm brand new here, and brand new to Android. I picked up a Proscan PLT7050 (free with rebate) around the holidays, hoping it would be a good cheap introduction to Android for me. It has been frustrating. The main problem I have is the lack of usable space for apps. This is an 8GB tablet, but it's partitioned such that most of that space is not usable for apps, only for files like music or pictures, etc. Specifically there is 0.98GB of "internal storage" and 5.22GB of "NAND flash", which I can mount as an "internal SD card". I've tried using various apps to move some of my larger apps to this internal SD, but I run into a couple of problems. #1: Most of the largest apps are not movable, so even when I move all the movable ones over, there's still not enough room on the internal storage. It pretty much fills up just from system updates and such. #2: Any apps that I move over have their icons disappear from the home screens whenever I reboot the tablet, seemingly because the home screen loads before the internal SD card is mounted. This is inconvenient and annoying. I don't know why they can't just have placeholder icons until the SD is mounted.

Anyway, I have read that starting with 4.4.2 KitKat, Android devices are supposed to have so called "Unified Storage"; basically a single large partition which is used for everything from apps to data. I am aware that this presents some problems with transfiguring files to and from a connected PC, but this is not a big downside for me. I would love to have this type of setup on my device. Unfortunately I have not been able to find out how to arrange this. I've seen tutorials on how to do this for a few devices, but not mine. And all the tutorials seem to be either device specific, or require software tools provided by the device manufacturer. And my manufacturer doesn't seem to provide any such tools. I've searched this site as well as I know how, but I have not found what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone has installed CWM on this device ? Please Post a guide about this .
[General Questions and Answers] darth.shopper:
Thank you for your quick response. I have not tried converting user apps to system apps. I thought the main reason why people ever did that was to increase speed for the apps being converted, because they would load faster from within the system area. But speed's not a priority for me, and I didn't think it would be a good idea to put more apps into the system area unnecessarily and fill that up. I'm guessing there's less than 2GB of total space in the system partition, and I don't know how much of that is actually used by the system, or how much might be available. But I figured, better leave that space alone. Instead, I was just hoping to use the 5.22GB that is going totally unused in the NAND flash area mounted as an internal SD card. Again, I'm an Android noob, so I may be totally misunderstanding things, but that was my thinking on the subject. And the prospect of just having one big unified partition is very attractive for me. Based on my searches, this seems to be a rather common issue. I'm surprised that a good solution isn't more commonly available. Even if the process of arranging it might be complicated. I've read that on OPPO devices, with their Color OS, there is actually a menu option where you can just select if you want unified storage or not, and it get's converted rather seamlessly. I'm not expecting anything that easy in my case, but as long as it's doable, and reasonably safe. I don't mind re-imaging if there is, for instance, some compatible ROM that would help me with this. I used to be a pretty good PC tech years ago, so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, just as long as I have some guidance, because I'm new to the Android environment.
