Here's where you can go for the SDK platform tools (adb directory) download: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

The instructions are pretty straight forward in that link you provided. Maybe "open CMD" might be confusing to you. Open platform tools and hold the shift key + right click. In the menu pick power shell and enter "cmd" as your first command. If yo u are on something earlier than Windows 10, hold shift + right click and choose command prompt. You won't need to enter "cmd" first with that.

What seems to be the case is that it only does this on certain websites. So I likely will have got it right first time but just didn't go on the right sites to notice. The BBC news for example. It does open on the desktop site ever time. But virtually all of the forums and websites i use haven't changed and clicking on show desktop site does shrink them. So it must only do this in certain places.

[Q]. Help extracting a ROM from A rare gem! Opportunity knocks!

Actually more like a stone and infomertial...

I have a Qlink plus, new, unactivated. It's one of the 'upgrades' to the ObamaPhones. A ZTE Z3001S.

For reasons only known to drunken demi-gods, i have decided i would like to extract and/or dump the Stock ROM and share it.

I have some experience trying to extract and root. I have fooled with MTKs tools, TWRP, SP flash tool, some software from a site that was written on a gum wrapper and stuffed in the coin return of a pay phone.

So yeah, I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

While the ZTE Z3001S is not going to be an in-demand firmware, I have read threads and questions concerning obscure phone models from cheap phone programs. And I happen to have 2 of the obscure builds phones with the StraightTalk SM-S903VL and the ZTE Obsidian Z820. My frustration at the lack of availability for Stock ROMs, working root methods that didn't require 6 hours of kid and noisy neighbor free 'alone' time, is my inspiration to learn more and contribute, I just don't know where to start or even what the right questions to ask are.

SHORT Vrs.:

I want to extract and dump the stock ROM on my ZTE Z3001S Qlink plus for back up and shared resource. I know enough about this subject to know that I don't know what I'm doing well enough. I would like suggestions on where to start the process. My searches always get me right up to the edge, but not quite 100%.

Whew... Thank you if you read all that!:p
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Probably not gonna happen without root first.

Unfortunately, many versions of ZTE devices are shipped without fastboot functionality, this makes it impossible to flash a custom recovery in order to gain root. Without fastboot, your only hope of rooting the device is if you are lucky enough for one of the universal rooting apps or PC programs just happens to have an exploit that works on your device.

Recovery other than TWRP

Hello is there any other recoveries out there other than TWRP? I have a oneplus 5t so I get that that kind of limits my options. But is there a generic android recovery that works on all devices? Or am I stuck with TWRP?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TWRP is pretty much the general custom recovery, it is available for more devices than any other recovery. There are others but very seldom used, if they are used, it's because of device specific reasons, TWRP is the preferred recovery by the majority of developers. The developers typically build things based on TWRP compatibilty more than they do on compatibility with any other recovery, but most of their developments work with most custom recoveries anyway, with some few exceptions(comparatively speaking).

I doubt there is any of these other recoveries built for your model number, but here are some other forms of recovery.

There is SafeStrap recovery, though "technically", it is not the same thing as a typical custom recovery, it isn't installed to or loaded from the actual recovery partition. It's more like a bootstrap that boots before the system boots than it is an actual recovery, a second bootloader of sorts, kinda like grub on PC.

There used to be a CWM(ClockworkMod) recovery, it is no longer officially supported but some people still build versions for certain devices. It's kinda like TWRP but has a different interface, there is a non touch version that uses the hardware keys to make selections, then there is a touch version that looks the same as non touch with the addition of being able to touch the options as well as use the hardware keys.

There is Carliv's touch recovery, I'm not very familiar with its interface as I've never owned a device that used this recovery.

There is Philz and Philz touch recovery, they are similar to CWM recovery with some additional functionality.

There are probably some more that I'm not familiar with, but, these are the most common that you'll encounter.

I have tried multiple ways to share my current custom 8.0 rom to my other exact device (H918 lg v20) to no success. How can I back it up and, make it flashable via twrp so that both devices are running exact custom rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you say "custom ROM", what method was used to install the custom ROM on the device that you're trying to copy it from?

If both devices are exactly the same model number and both have TWRP installed, just create a nandroid backup using TWRP then use a file manager to navigate to your TWRP>backups folder, copy the entire folder(not the nandroid inside the folder) then transfer that copy to the TWRP folder on the other device, then boot into TWRP and use the restore feature to restore the nandroid. Then both devices will have the same ROM installed.

You can also try something like this:

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It's possible, but that won't happen until/unless there are many members here that own the device and then only if there is a considerable amount of custom development for the device.

If your device does not have several custom recoveries or several custom ROMs or any other kind of development available, then your device won't be getting its own forum or added to the XDA device list.
[General Questions and Answers] nosystemissafe365:
Thank you for replying, actually i already ported a custom recovery and a custom rom for this device. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It takes considerably more than that though.
[General Questions and Answers] nosystemissafe365:
Hmmm.

What do you mean?

Can you elaborate? Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There should be a lot of activity here from members that have the device.

There should be a lot of threads discussing the device(a lot = more than just a few, more than several)

There should be more than just a recovery and one ROM. Once there have been several versions of TWRP and at least a dozen or more ROM/development threads, probably at least a couple of pages of development threads.

In the meantime, any threads that get posted can have an enhanced tag added to them so that all threads discussing the device get grouped together, it isn't an actual subforum like other mainstream devices have here, but they do get grouped together.

The XDA Administrators and staff aren't going to spend the time, man hours or server space to create a forum for a device unless the device is VERY popular and has many developers creating custom development for it.

I guess Vernee has mtk SoC, IMEI is placed in NVRAM partition but you have to restore it by the same method that you backuped before. TWRP will show you the list of partitions backuped, if the string was not changed in the tool maybe is listed as EFS.
[General Questions and Answers] midvik:
Hi, thank you for answering. I read that post but didnt post because it is different system with different partitions from samsung, vernee is mtk :/ I understood that samsung has EFS partition and MTK devices have nvram or something like that. I made nvram backup in twrp, that was my first try, after flash imeis remained the same so i downloaded Ghost Phone app from play store and wrote directly from app (no maui or fastboot thank god :P ). Partitions i have backed up are:

What's the difference between the (discontinued) superSU 2.82 SR-5 and the latest Magisk (17.3 beta) rooting apps? I heard that Chainfire is no longer developing the former app, superSU, but read comments from time to time saying it works smoother than Magisk on X ROM. It looks like Magisk is being developed again, so now it is the main go-to for rooting your device (or using it's modules). When superSU was still being developed it was the default rooting method for devices like the Samsung S2 - S5 and so forth. Then, when does superSU become a better choice over Magisk and vice versa?
[General Questions and Answers] scorpio76r:
Majisk is systemless. It makes it a better option over SU which isn't.
[General Questions and Answers] Kzure:
You mean not flashed/mounted directly to the system and can be easily installed/uninstalled like a regular app?
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
There is no simple answer as each tool has it's strengths/weaknesses along with varying levels of 'compatibility' based on hardware, boot image, ROM and other factors - not to mention experience level of the warm blooded gizmo at the helm. FWIW I prefer the simplicity/stability of SuperSU on legacy devices; Magisk is the go-to choice on newer hardware. Magisk also supports a large library of modules and root cloaking if those capabilities tickle your fancy.

Need help w/ my Huawei KII-L05 (GR5)

Hi,

I own a Huawei KII-L05 as my main phone. It is slow, and at the moment I am saving for something else, so I cannot buy a new phone. I decided to speed up or at least "improve" my phone buy upgrading to Android 9.0 (Pie). One of the problems I have is finding the ROM and other software that is compatible with my Huawei KII-L05.

Upgrading to a higher Android build probably won't yield much benefit in terms of performance and may introduce a boatload of problems. Especially if the kernel is not optimized for Pie. And no, in most cases you can not flash a rom built for another device even if they are close cousins. Your beat bet may be to perform a 'factory reset' which will clear out a accumulated clutter that can slow a device.

[General Questions and Answers] Kzure:
If I flashed a ROM with GAPPs and uninstalled or disabled musicfx, then will all frequencies be flat by default unless I install and run a third party equalizer? Would it default to music player's equalizer? Or, would the player stop working without a system equalizer (musicfx)?

[Note: For some reason, musicfx was having errors like "has not responded" windows randomly popping up sometimes after switching the option to use the music player's equalizer instead. Even after switching back to the system equalizer (musicfx) the errors still popped up. So, I cleared the data and cache for musicfx, and no longer seen the errors. But later I found that third party equalizers on the Google Play Store to be a little better for bass boosting and present frequencies (non-rooted though)].

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Does anyone here know a way to be able to have more control over the volume with a bluetooth speaker? I have the Harmon/Kardon Onyx mini. Since I've got my Lenovo tab4 8 Plus, I've noticed that the volume on the tablet is in sync with the speaker. This wasn't the case on all my other tablets. I can certainly see advantages, but to me, it has produced a problem. The volume steps are too big. I only have about 15 options. Say if I wanted to listen to something really quietly, it is a bit too loud, then barely audible. Before, I could use the speaker volume separately (which had very small steps in volume), or could put the tablets volume to maximum, which made the steps on the speaker larger and quicker to adjust. Is there any app or anything that gives you more steps? Or a way to disable the tablet and speaker volume being in sync.

Thanks.

If the device is rooted and has custom recovery, try this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-more-steps-to-your-volume-slider-root/

You can also use root explorer to browse to the file that handles the devices audio input/output/volume parameters(what it is called and where it is located in your system partition is/can be different from one device brand or android version to another), then open that file in a note editor and change the values manually then save the file and reboot. Start with very small changes, then increase as needed, this way you get an understanding of how much increase gets how much result without going too far and damaging your hardware.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
my tablet isn't rooted. And if I'm correct, the manufacturers don't like you rooting their devices. As they will probably not accept a return for any sort of fault if they find your device has been rooted. I just don't think i should risk rooting it. From one thing it mentions, it looks like it it is difficult getting apps that work with it without me having to root it. As the speaker has a 3.5mm input, i may just have to stick with that. Given how expensive some bluetooth speakers can get, if by default you only have 14/15 steps for the volume, that is pretty poor. I'm wondering what it was about my old tablets that allowed me to use bluetooth with this speaker and use the volume on the tablet and speaker separately. It seems that higher end tablets and phones add this feature that basically restricts your volume options. Quite frustrating. I can see the big advantage in that you can leave your speaker out of reach and control the volume on the tablet, but you can't do it precisely at all. At least some video players (BS player in my case) Have an option for the volume to be from 1 to 100% going up 1% each step.

Thanks for the response, but I would rather not do anything that involves rooting the device.

Famous last words that apply to many, but not all, devices and rooting methodologies. Experience and discipline of the human operator also comes into play. Finally, it is fairly easy to detect a previously rooted device unless OEM certified stock is meticulously restored.

Probably a simple question but I can't seem to fin the answer:

For the power off it should be easy once rooted with apps like tasker or similar, but for the power on, that seems so easy for other devices, I'm struggling to find the solution, I've seen that in other devices you access a menu holding power and volume and set it on there but in this the only menu I've been able to access with volume UP and power buttons is in chinese and (thanks to google translate) seems to be only to perform some testing.

Does anyone know what I can do?

How could i flash a Stock ROM without a PC ?

And thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
1) Restore a nandroid backup of stock ROM if you have one or can get one from another member thst has the same device. If you use a nandroid backup that was pulled from someone else's device, they will need to make sure their backup does not contain any of their personal data or their IMEI to avoid flashing their IMEI on your device.

2) If there is a flashable zip that has been created from the stock firmware for your device, you can flash that via TWRP.

There are other, considerably more tricky methods for advanced users, but I suggest using one of the two methods I described above if one of them is available to you.

Well, its "possible" to run a linux OS on Android without root, but I very highly doubt it would run adb in a manner that could be used to root the other device.

Even still, to even get the OS to run in a manner that would actually be usable to install the proper packages to even be able to use adb/fastboot in any kind of effective manner at all is slim to none, not to mention the very slim odds of it being able to interact with another device in a manner that can push files the way you need to that device.

Long story short.....

No, just, no.
