[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think you missed the point of the post that you quoted above, all the apps in Playstore use the old API's, meaning, they won't pass Safetynet until the apps start using newer API's.

Hello XDA,

I've recently got my hands on a Chinese tablet from a company that seems to be deceased. It's called "Viewsound".

Anyway, I spend a good portion of my time with it, and then realized that the skin is just plain ugly, and unresponsive. And so, my journey to flash this thing began.

At first, I tried unlocking the bootloader using fastboot and ADB. I thought that would work since it's not really special (the tablet). After all, the settings, and the notification bar is stock. Turns out, not that easy. When I boot into fastboot, it just hangs in there. I see the logo, and a small black frame with white text that's says "fastboot", but it does nothing.

I've tried going to recovery mode (Power + Volume Up) but then I was redirected to a Chinese testing software thing. (Most have been what they use at the factory).

I tried numerous times going to the boot settings thing (Power + Volume down). Sometimes it works, half of the time it doesn't. I've yet to try to unlock the boot loader THAT way, but I'm almost certain it'll go back to hanging in the boot screen.

About that hang, when I try to ADB it, it says something along the lines of "< waiting for device>". I'm running Windows with the latest drivers, mind you. I can boot it to the hanging using ADB's adb reboot bootloader, but that's all I can do.

At this point, I was desperate. I tried rooting it with KingoRoot and dr.fone but that didn't work. KingoRoot had connection lose on the apk, and from the PC it simply didn't work.

Any idea on what the hell to do? I've tried everything. (No, Odin won't work, that's for Samsung).

Hello All.

I have a problem with my Samsung A5 2015 running Resurrection Remix. I would have posted this question in that area but its pretty dead over there. Online searches yield only irrelevant results about changing connection modes and updating drivers.

Basically, my device only charges when off. I can only charge it or connect it for a few seconds after boot and then it fails. Not only does a PC not detect it, but the phone itself does not detect a connection to PCs or chargers. Granted I have only tested one PC, but I have tested 3 different chargers, 3 different cables and 6 different USB ports.

This persists even when in Recovery Mode.

When off, the device charges just fine off all PCs and chargers.

This has only happened for a few days, but since this completely prevents me from transfering files via USB, its become quite a bother.

LOS 14 Update Caused Recovery Bootloop

I am new to flashing and custom roms but i have had lineage OS installed for awhile on my old galaxy note 3 SM-N900W8. When i went to OTA update lineage it caused my note 3 to go into a recovery Bootloop. I could not actually boot into recovery or boot system it kept restarting. So i read some forums and watched some videos. It kept saying seandoid not enforcing. I went and got a original note 3 md5 file and put it into odin put my old phone into download mode and connected it to Odin Loaded the md5 file in to the AP section of odin and hit start. Now it says firmware upgrade encountered please select recovery mode in kies. Also at the top left it says

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Does anyone know how i could fix this or if i could reinstall a custom binary or kernel from lineage.

I would like to just get my old pictures off the phone. Or would i have to connect to kies and install original firmware and just re flash a new rom?

If i brick the phone i brick it i use a S7 now. I don't know if this makes sense but i might need some help.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The results you got when you flashed with Odin, typically happens if you lose connection during flashing, such as a faulty USB cord with a broken wire that makes intermittent contact, moving the device while it is flashing or a faulty USB port on the device.

Ensure that you have a solid connection that won't inadvertently get interrupted, once you have established that it is a stable, consistent connection, then try flashing your stock firmware again. Samsung devices can still be flashed via Odin while displaying the "upgrade encountered an issue" screen, just boot to that screen, connect to Odin, place the firmware in the AP slot then click start and let it flash. Do not touch the device or cancel the flash, wait for Odin to give you a green PASS! before you touch anything.

Try these troubleshooting steps for a failed Odin flash if you have issues.

You won't have much luck finding any sources with specific instructions for your specific device, That's the way it goes for no-name, cheap, knock-off Chinese devices.

If it has a MediaTek processor, you can try MTK droid tool for MTK(MediaTek) devices. If you can port a TWRP custom recovery(You'll have to do it yourself) and if you can establish a working fastboot connection, you can flash the ported TWRP then flash Magisk to root the device.

Alright for sure but will I still be able to get into the LOS that I was running on to get my old pictures or would there be a way to get them. If I flash original firmware will all the stuff be gone that I had on LOS. Or would I have to install a new rom and just forget about the pictures.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Generally, as long as the stock firmware that you are flashing is not an upgraded firmware that contains an upgraded bootloader(or as long as it does not have a downgraded bootloader), your personal data does not get wiped and can be recovered.

Forcing USB debugging remotely.

I've found myself in a rather annoying situation that i've not been able to find a concise answer to so far in my searching across the internet.

I have a Huawei P9 Plus with a completely dead screen, unable to display anything, nor receive any touch input.

I'm also both incredibly new and inexperienced in this degree of technical support beyond seeking the service of a professional technician.

I'm attempting to transfer the files on board my phone's internal storage, onto my PC instead; the complication being however is that as i'm unable to interact with the screen on account of it being dead, i'm unable to confirm that I want the phone to let me access the storage; and I don't have USB debugging enabled as far as I can tell.

simply put; I need a way of forcing the phone to act as a external storage device remotely, or just extracting the files on board the phone's internal storage, and transferring them to my Pc in any method possible, without interacting with the phone directly.

(and on a side note, if i'm asking this in the wrong place, could someone please point me to the right place?)

[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
Unfortunately, you won't get terribly far as you are seeking to bypass Android security framework which should be difficult by definition. One can go to extraordinary efforts (largely specific to your device) to gain access but one has to ask if it is worth the effort. Might be more cost effective to engage professional assistance to replace the defective panel. Note I am assuming the device is not rooted nor bootloader unlocked. The latter changes everything.

Flashing TWRP on tb3-710i

Hi, I'm trying to install TWRP recovery on my old Lenovo Tab (TB3-710i with MT8321 chipset) and every guide that I found suggests using a program called SP Flash Tool to flash TWRP, but the tool is said to only work for MT6xxx chips and I'd also prefer to just flash it with adb. My question is, is it possible to install TWRP with just adb (eg. using this method https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/) or do I have to use the Flash Tool ?

If I can flash it with adb, will this file work for adb - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VH...84IyzLGSLP3Edj or is it only for the SP Flash Tool
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
SPFT is the mediatek specific flash tool and it supports all mediatek chipsets, so it's definitely recommended and widely used, I'd regard ADB as experimental when it comes to MTK based devices, also in case of trouble (soft brick, etc.) it's mandatory to use SPFT so you'd do yourself actually a favor to get into this tool because this tool is actually the reason (besides the very mediatek own preloaders) why MTK based devices are almost indestructible...

So when working with MTK it's almost a must to get along nicely with SPFT :)
[General Questions and Answers] p51spirit:
Thanks for the answer. If that's the case, I'd definitely prefer to use the Flash Tool, but will it work with my device ? My Tab3 has a MT8321 cpu and

the TWRP version I found (and I think the only one for tb3-710i) seems to be for MT6580 - its scatter file is called "MT6580_Android_Scatter.txt" and starts with this:

- general: MTK_PLATFORM_CFG
info:
- config_version: V1.1.2
platform: MT6580
project: hq8321_tb_b2b_l
storage: EMMC
boot_channel: MSDC_0

[General Questions and Answers] Giorgi-geo:
I have LG G3 vs985 on marshmallow, I want to root it but there isn't any root available for it. From searching these forums I found that the best way to do it is to flash back to kit-kat, root, install twrp and flash a custom rom.

My question is, is there any way to backup my current stock rom? Should I?

And in case something happens during downgrade from 6 to 4, meaning I don't have twrp installed yet, how would I restore it?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] scorpio76r:
You will have to downgrade to kitkat to achieve root.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is no way to backup your stock firmware without already having root or TWRP installed. There is no safeguard for you.

You have a choice to make.

1) take a chance, downgrade your device, then install TWRP and root and just hope you don't run into issues.

Or

2) don't do anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah sure, it's supposed to work with any mtk SOC, as far as I know spft was originally leaked or provided by the manufacturer, this software is like Odin for Samsung devices, spft is for all mediatek devices - only thing can be that you have to Google for the recommended version or you try the newest version to check compatibility, SP Flash Tool v5.1524.00.000 is said to work with most devices but I recommend researching the topic "SPFT" because it's a very own tool with lots of power, pushing buttons blindly can totally brick the device (pro tip: never use download & format but only download option as format will delete everything, even EFS!).

Using a recovery made for another chipset will most likely result in problems, a recovery is usually specifically made for the requirements of a certain SOC, so I wouldn't recommend using it unless it's stated that there's compatability with your SOC, this a critical thing and can potentially damage your device, it's best to find a recovery for the exact same model you have, if there's none you can request a TWRP version at the "TWRP builder thread" if you're able to fulfill the requirements:

I tried searching around but the only version of TWRP for tb3-710i is this one I mentioned before, so I think it should work, if the tablet had a different chipset than other tb3-710i then I think it wouldn't be called tb3-710i.

Also the Readme included with it says that it should run on any tb3-710i with SW000035 firmware

TWRP 3.1.1 by jemmini (4PDA) thanks for him to make this recovery sing omni sources!
recovery.img fixed for tablet's that won't flash it By @adamh.ayyad
Now this twrp should work on any TB3-710I running SW000035 frimware

Galaxy s5 "magisk is not installed" error

Hi, I'm new on these forums and was just wondering if anyone can help me out. I've been watching some vids on how to install magisk and followed along with the tutorial. I got to the end of the tutorial and have twrp installed properly and I flashed Magisk-v16.4. upon reboot the magisk app was missing from my phone so I put the .APK on my device and installed it as it said to do in the tutorial. Maybe I have gone wrong somewhere but I've tried twice now following along with the video with a freshly wiped phone. If anyone could give me a hand I'd really appreciate it thanks very much.

You can install first just the app, then when it´s opened it will prompt to update the version (one by one till the latest) install it/them and open again and it will prompt by last to install the zip popping up three options; Download only, patch the boot, Install directly (recommended) (sic) and then to flash it tap on reboot.

If you updated the device via OTA(over-the-air) update, did you wipe the cache partition in recovery after the update finished? Sometimes data is let over from before the update and that remaining data can cause all sorts of issues, wiping the cache fixes.
[General Questions and Answers] @srmahunt:
I did wipe the cache partition, don't know why this happens.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
These are some things that you can try:

1- If you binded before your mi account you can request to apply for an unlock code, if you get to unlock it you will have more options to recover your device including custom roms.

2- When you have the bootloader yet locked some firmwares don´t match and then device refuses to boot, you can try with other version/s of firmware, specially with the same that came pre-installed out of the box, and an additional action after to flash it, go to recovery (stock) manually, usually pressing pwr + vol up, when logo appears release pwr button and keep pressing vol up button a few seconds till initialize recovery mode, now format data and wipe caches and try to boot.

3- If you have a EDL working properly you can flash only TWRP, before to do this choose a custom rom or a stock rom flashable through recovery, a zip called no-verity to force decryption (there are many files about it in the web) and put them in your internal or external memory to flash them after through TWRP.

To flash only TWRP using miphone flash tool follow the next: inside the rom unpacked, you will see a folder "images" let all the files there and inside the images folder delete all the files except partition.xml, patch0.xml, prog_emmc_firehose_89xx_ddr.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, now put TWRP inside the images folder and rename it recovery. Then to flash it you have to reboot to recovery after to do nothing more, don´t let device that try to reboot to system or TWRP will be replace it for stock. When you reboot to TWRP you can flash anything onto device although with locked bootloader, maybe you need to flash one or these three files in order to can reboot properly; Format data, Flash no-verity or Root it.

Custom ROM Note 3 N900A - HELP

I have a Samsung Note 3 (ATT) unlocked and rooted with towelroot. It has NC2 bootloader (which I downgraded to from 5.0). I have supersu, busybox, and then Safestrap 3.75 for my recovery. I have bricked only a handful of times but then just flash my stock. I'm having a hard time getting a custom rom to stick.. It always goes to safestrap and then the stock recovery after flashing.....then just loops. The safestrap seems unstable as when I power phone off and plug it in to charge the splash screen menu pops up over the charging battery symbol momentarily. Also, when I am installing the ROM it trys to get the boot image from /block/mmcblk0p14 but cannot find it. Then it said something about ramdisk and then could not mount. Then it will not boot. There is a boot.img file in the ROM itself. Why doesn't it use that?

When I go into my system files and open up the mmcblk0p14 and view as text....I get a warning "not enough memory." I know RAM is different then ROM but I have 21GB out of 32GB AVAILABLE. My SD card has 26GB out of 32GB AVAILABLE. So what is using up all of my memory? I know this may be a dumb question but I am trying to learn. And how do I fix it? Any ideas or other methods would be great! Oh and I used to have the unlocked padlock on my startup screen and now don't but the phone is rooted. Thank you so much.
