The new pixel laptop/tablet uses chrome OS. Which I can use as well with Android way better than when Windows. But with platform tools to adb and root phones, and un-brick, those laptops with any Google OS is incompatible?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Here you can find a version for your model (maybe ph5) and flash it through Odin https://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/n910aucs2eqf1-4-file-odin-6-0-1-firmware-t3632490 you will lose all your data, if your devicestucks in bootlogo then go to recovery manually and do a factory wipe/data.

Untill I know there is not root nor will there be for this model cause locked bootloader.

Note3 at&t has a special recovery called safestrap thanks to Hashcode developer and I could flash as many custom roms as available; also there was some progress for your device , but after project was discontinued so if you can root it won´t never boot.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, you can emulate Windows on android, but it isn't that great, it's slower(because you're running 2 operating systems at the same time), and has compatibility issues with windows programs, some stuff just won't work.

Consider a tablet that is a dual OS device, one that can dual boot Windows or Android.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

It's as compatible as the tools designed to work in the OS. Consider that most developers that create the tools we use, almost exclusively use some form of linux or Windows so it stands to reason than all the tools you'll find will be linux or Windows tools, with very few for any other OS.
[General Questions and Answers] Sol33t303:
Chrome OS is far more Linux than Android. The Linux community generally considers it another distro (sort of). It has all the Linux commands, is compatible with Linux programs and works much more like Linux then android does. I should also be easier to get hold of root than on android as there shouldn't be a lot of tinkering you have to do (at most you will have to get to GRUB, the most common Linux bootloader, and change a couple of things to get it to boot you into root).

XP on Android

Thx Droid, I didn't think it would work that well or even at all! The XP images Iv heard of are under 400mb stripped down versions. I wonder how many different images are out there. Good ones / bad ones? Once installed I need to complete a few simple ?? tasks. 1)Make it recognise a usb port on the device(driver files needed here?). 2)Install Adobe Air (not sure if Adobe requires other enviroments like JAVA?) 3)Then install the plugin. This is all I would want XP on Android for just this one task. The manufacturers of minidsp seem to wince with pain when the idea of an android app for the plugins is mentioned!

Iv also heard it takes about 4/5 mins to load. I'm hoping on my 8 core device it will be quicker. Will the XP install boot when you tap the App icon or is it a selective boot when you turn on the device?

Im looking forward to getting my device and learning the things you can do with Android. I am a noob here but think Android is the VHS and Apple is the BetaMax! ;)

Hexagon is a ROM?

If so, dirty flash the same version. It should fix you modem problem. As far as VoLTE goes, maybe your provider doesn't have it enabled for your device. If they don't, then you won't be able to get VoLTE no matter what you try.

[General Questions and Answers] Si Lee Ping:
Rooted device, files deleted, now I am not able to download anything.

I recently rooted my device to try free up space on my internal storage and delete bloatware. I also played around with build.prop.

I then discovered that I was not able to download anything, from the Play Store or apks.

I factory reset my device (Tablet, Android 4.2.2) to try solve the problem. It reset, but I am still unable to download anything and the bloatware I deleted is still gone. I'm afraid that I altered my ROM and now I can't ever get it back? Also, before I factory reset, I was getting an (Error Code: 0) whn trying to download apps from Play Store.

Is there anyway to recover my original ROM files and system files?

(None of my personal files were harmed, they are all stored on a sd card).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Factory reset in android is not the same thing as "restore to factory defaults" when using a PC. The PC version of factory reset or "restore to factory defaults" typically involves a recovery partition that has an image containing the factory OS and it is restored to the system partition from that recovery partition. Stock android devices do not have that kind of "factory reset", factory reset in android only wipes the user partition on internal and wipes your saved settings, it does not touch the system partition at all so whatever has been modified in the system partition will still have the same modifications after the factory reset.

You will have to flash your stock firmware(this will remove root so you'll have to root the device all over again after restoring stock firmware).

Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

That should find everything you need, if it exists for your model number.

In the future, for all of your devices, when deleting bloatware, be certain that it is actually bloatware before deleting it because you could be deleting a something that was needed by the system to function properly.

Also, if there is a custom recovery for your device, you need to install it and use it to create a nandroid backup before modifying the device, if you modify something and mess it up, use the custom recovery to restore the nandroid backup and it will restore back to unmodified stock. Remember to do this with every device you ever intend to modify.

If there is no custom recovery for your device or your future devices, always keep a copy of the stock firmware to restore the device because this is about the only way to restore a device without a custom recovery and a nandroid backup, in most cases.

If you have a device that does not have a stock firmware available then you need to be VERY careful and be absolutely sure of every step you take when modifying the device. Without a custom recovery or the stock firmware, you pretty much don't have a chance of restoring the device if something goes wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] tres_linguas:
Hi everyone,

could anybody provide me with a link to a good starting point for gaining more knowledge about Android ROMs (especially nougat/ oreo)? Could be either xda or internet in general.

I know there is lots to find if one googles, but it's usually about becoming either an app- or even ROM developer.

What I'm looking for is just a place/ platform to acquire more knowledge about the internals of a Rom (e.g. which folders are usually there, which files have what types of permissions etc). I want to be able to help myself with fixing certain problems with custom Roms that probably only need some modification of certain files/ folders/ permissions.

Any hint is thankfully received :)

Flash Stock ROM to Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 4034X on Linux

Hi there, I am an utter newbie. I am using Linux (installed on a Chromebook under Crouton/Xfce), and I have installed a piece of software called "SP Flash Tool", in order to flash a Stock Rom onto my device. The only place I found for a working Scatter File for my (MTK) Pixi 4034X is YouTube for this device that provided links in the description to necessary software/files.

I have also been following a tutorial on XDA's site called "[TUTORIAL]How to setup SP_Flash_Tool_Linux (MTK/MediaTek Soc)".

I hit a brick wall regarding the "Download" button in the top-panel, which isn't seemingly doing anything - even though I've already loaded the scatter file in the application.

I really have no idea what to do as the YouTube tutorial was for Windows, not Linux.

Any ideas anyone?

Really appreciate being able to ask in a 'newbie' way without shame.

Thanks.

Download all the fastboot/adb drivers for linux and from here is the same;

First power off device, extract battery some seconds if you can open back cover, then put it again, connect first usb cable to device, tap on download and then at same time to connect usb terminal cable with pc press vol up 3 seconds then release, you have to see a red line and then it starts to download files to your device, let it finishes
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, you can't do any of what you mentioned with adb.

If you want to get what they have, you need to find the "someone in China" that you mentioned and ask them how they did it. If you can't do that then you'll have to continue trying to find a rooting method.

Just tried to install Oreo in Lenovo P2 and;

"AospExtended-v5.4-kuntao-20180406-0439-UNOFFICIAL.zip" and Arm64,8.1,pico (Gapps) than wiped cache after getting "Decryption unsuccessfull. The password you entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt" error i tried wipe and format options in twrp. Now my computer cant see it. I cant open phone folder and transfer new rom file in it.

Also im getting "Encryption was interrupted and can't complate. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible" error on launch. Reset Phone button brings recovery menu (TWRP 3.2.1)

Is it fixable after this point? I don't know what to do. /storage, /sdcard is empty and i cant transfer new rom files because computer not seeing it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You must have had your device data encrypted before you flashed the ROM, you can't do that, you have remove encryption BEFORE flashing the device.

Do a Google search for:

"Return to to stock (your model number)"

Or

"Unbrick (your model number)"

Thank you, i find Lenovo+P2+UnBrick+OneTeam-EypCnn.zip (1.67GB) im downloading it but how can i send this to phone? When phone in fastboot mode, cmd screen is able to access it but i am no longer able to access it with windows file explorer. When phone in ADV Sideload enable, computer doesn't recognise the driver.

Lets say its a.zip in C:\ folder and what should i type to cmd? phone doesn't getting drive letter anymore.

Update: I don't know what happened but now computer seeing it. It has only TWRP folder i will put this file there. Now im able to transfer file into phone.

How can i make it data encrypted like as you said? is that means re-enabling OEM lock?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't tell you to encrypt your device, I said that if you have a device that is encrypted but you want to root and flash a ROM then you must remove the encryption FIRST and THEN you can flash the device. You can't flash a ROM on a device that has been encrypted, the encryption has to be removed first.

What I mentioned about encryption has nothing to do with fixing your device. I was telling you how to avoid causing this issue in the future on any other devices that you want to flash.

Instead of trying to use adb sideload, boot into TWRP, connect to PC, open a adb terminal(place the file that you want to move to the device in your adb folder on PC) then use adb push commands to move the file to the TWRP folder on the device.

What i understand here is rooting your device is not enough. You also need to remove encryption. is that "unbrick" file can fix this issue? should i install that file or just try to install new rom? i am asking wrong questions isnt it. My phone is empty, it has generic hierarchical file system 24gb when i look it from my computer. What can i install this device now? is there a way to de-encrypt than install "AospExtended-v5.4-kuntao-20180406-0439-UNOFFICIAL.zip" which is Android 8.1 or should i turn back to android 7. Is this encryption problem same for all roms?

I'm running venir rom (7.1) and managed to install modde D HTC One boot animation. Can anyone tell me how to manually install the down animation? If possible
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think you need to download your original stock firmware and flash it via PC using either fastboot or the PC flashing tool that is made to be compatible with your device, that was the purpose of telling you to do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

That should find everything you need to restore the device to stock. After restoring stock, then you start over with rootingbthe device. Make sure the device is not encrypted, then make sure your bootloader is unlocked, then you flash TWRP via fastboot, then use TWRP to root the device, then flash your new custom ROM(making sure to factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before or after flashing the new ROM).

I'm not familiar with "unbrick" file that you're talking about or how it is used so I can't say whether it will fix the issue or not.

In virtually all devices, encrypted devices can not be flashed with custom software because encryption is a form of security to secure device and your information on the device. When you flash a custom ROM, it is being flashed in its default "unsecured" state, the device being encrypted prevents the "unsecured" ROM from being flashed(this can either wipe your system and data partition completely, losing the OS and your saved data in the process or lock the system and data partitions so that the device can't be accessed, such as in cases of a device being lost or stolen and someone trying to access the device by wiping or flashing the device) or it allows it to flash but then won't allow the new ROM to boot because encryption blocks it when it attempts to boot.

Thank you i downloaded that unbrick file and used "flashall - stock reco. bat" and its magically fixed and now devices has android 6.0.1 like the first day. My phone is working now. One of my regret was directly switching to android 7 in day 1. Now i can use and see how is android 6. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm glad you got it working. I was only able to give you a general idea of what you needed, sorry I couldn't be more specific, there are many devices, tools and files, I'm not an expert with all of them.

You can still try root, TWRP and ROMs, but this time, take a different approach by making sure you understand exactly what you need and how the device needs to be prepared before rooting and flashing, once you're sure you have everything the way it is supposed to be, then root it and flash it the correct way.

Is there a way to block some type of phone numbers? i want to blacklist every phone number which starts 0212, 0888 and 0850. Can i do that with just android or is there any application can able to do that? Also while it do that filtering, can i put a whitelist for some 0850xxxxxxx numbers? Basicly it will work like an adblock but instead of ads it will block impostors, fake call centers, scammers and some real call centers which i will whitelist some of them if possible.

I dont know the details but they're automaticly calling and bothering many numbers. Blocking some of them is not a solution they have many numbers for this abuse.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is because of your internet activity, advertisers track your activity and any websites you sign up for or surveys that you participate in leads to advertisers getting your email address and phone number. The only way to absolutely stop this is to discontinue the kind of internet activity that gives them access to you, unsubscribe from all sites and email lists that are involved, find the option to unsubscribe in the spam emails that you recieve, also, when the numbers call, select the automated menu option to be removed from their call list or verbally request that you be removed if you get a live person instead of an automated menu.

Smarter internet usage and being selective about what information you allow internet sites to have, anywhere that you have to enter your email address to sign up for or to gain access to will lead to more of these phone calls and emails.

Well im using many adblockers (6 or 7), violent monkey and some scripts, im always using pc, phone just stays in a corner for whatsapp. which i use web version from pc. phone also have adaware, firefox klar, Youtube vanced , firewall, network monitor etc. i dont think its about internet activity. They're getting our personal information from other places like banks, gsm operators, internet service providers etc. Im %100 sure its not related with my internet activity (or every other person in my country). Its just how everything is unsupervised in my country. They're putting fake unsubsciption links in their advertising sms, you can't cancel it. Goverment web sites for complaint application is just visiual like every other aspect in the country. Only solid way is filtering.

Also they're sending totally random advertising. They start to call you when your subscription with internet provider close to ending (renew) and they act like a call center. Im %100 sure its not related my internet activity there is no single connection in it. They get our data from compaines and they have no idea what im interesting. They just spamming nonsense advertises and trying to scam me with calling. So blocking 3 million phone number will fix this problem. (at least calling part of it) Because they're always calling from 0212, 0850 and 0888 and they're doing it with bots. (there are web sites you can check the calling number before open it and you can read many comment about that number before open it)

There is a list of Bxxx codes and all ad-abusers must use that codes in the end of sms and also they must provide a fake unsubcribe link so in the theory we can use that link and get rid of that ad company. Just because of our wonderful law system. So if i manage to find a program which find and delete every sms which contains bxxx or Bxxx in it (x must be number) it will the end of advertising messages. (Lol just like the enigma movie. They're ending their message always same)
