Android Tablet (Teclast X98 Air III) - make a backup to use if i "brick" it

Hello there, i just finished my "first hello" thread and i'm glad that here is a "noob friendly" thread.

I just ordered a "Teclast X98 Air III USA Version Intel Z3735F 1.83GHz 9.7 Inch Dual Boot Tablet" at Banggood and i want to do things like rooting it in order to use a firewall (afwall) on it, but that's not the question here:

Before, i want to make a backup of my device (stock rom, kernel?) So that if i "brick" it and it does not boot up anymore, i can restore this backup and have it like out of the box.

I read something already and i used TWRP with ODIN already on Samsung devices. Problem is - even when trying to install TWRP, i could brick it - So what is your advice / how should i make this backup, and what toolchain to use (i hered about adb sideload, ODIN, dd / sdcard, stock recovery) to easyest restore it to a defined status?

Thanks in advance!

What does OG5 mean?

Make Sure You Are On OG5 Baseband Or Higher..

ok.. I'm lost. I don't know what OG5 means?

I came from CM-12, 5.1.1, then I went to stock SM-910p, then I installed TWRP again, and now I want to try the emotion rom. I don't know what OG5 means.

I see terminology on here, that I've never noticed before. I would like to know, as my question, what is OG5.

Please... Thank You.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
They mean that your stock firmware baseband should end in OG5, go to system settings>about(phone/device/tablet)>baseband, the series of numbers and letters under baseband should end in OG5.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're saying that you have CM12.1 and you want to make your device faster, you'll need a kernel management app. The app will let you modify various settings to improve performance, flashing a custom kernel compatible with your ROM and device may give you more of a boost than the kernel that is built in your CM12.1 ROM.

It depends on what the differences are, though you'd be better off asking these questions in one of those threads to get a better assistance

But if the differences are not really major (like different amount of storage) then you won't have much problem in porting

Samsung Galaxy Fame

Can someone help me ? I have a Samsung Galaxy Fame but have a problem with connecting it to a computer. I could normally connect it to a windows machine however after it fully charged to 100% it disconects itself and I can't do a **** with it, any solution ? Tho When I connect it to a USB port the Android says that my Fame is fully charged and that I should disconnect it .....

Also do I need to root Samsung Fame in order to get custom room ? I heard that I can install Custom Recovery via Odin but I don't know if I need to have a root in order to do so altogether when flashing a room into the Fame ?

I've got a a computer screen on my wall with a Android TV stick (4.4.2) that I occasionally use to play music and/or video on. The power button on the screen is broken so it stays on 24/7

Now I don't want to ruin the screen with a static image and the TV stick does not have daydream built in, so I'm searching for a good old fashion screensaver I can install as an app.

Preferably a moving clock but I'll take anything right now.

Does that even exist?

Live wallpspers kinda works but that leaves static icons and widgets on the screen. Downloading daydream apps does not work, I've no way of activating them.

Anyone out there that knows something that will help?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
After it charges and disconnects, have you checked to see if you have USB options set to MTP?

You can flash TWRP without having root but you'll need to be rooted to flash a ROM.

I don't think that a magnet could mess up your phone. I mean if it's really really really powerful than it's a different story.

Many phone cases come with small magnets to tuck the case's flap onto it, so I guess it's harmless.

Thank you for responding. I did get it mostly interpreted that way. However when I fill out the form the phone number ends up in the wrong form. The read from thw right of the screen to the left apparently. But my phone number keeps hamging it up. If I put it in in english then switch it back it clears the screen. So I am still working at it. I'm chomping at the bit to get this. The firmware difference between mine and the smt377r4 are minor I'm sure. But I'm not exactly programmer developer savvy to work the tweaks between them. Perserverance will win the battle. Thanks Dave

Solution to Titanium backup saying I have no root access?? However I have root access and custom recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] Dcafaro7:
No, the firmware on the Persian website is for the us sprint galaxytab e model sm-t377p. The firmware title is the same as the other versions of that tablet. The exception being it ends in 05 instead of 07 or 08. The relevance of the sm-t377r4 is when I open my tablet up. The model number on the back is SM-T377P/R4. The 377R4 is a us cellular tab the 377P is sprints version of the same model. I can translate the persian site easy enough. But, I can't input my phone number. Every attempt I get an error that says "please use requested format" . I'm not sure if that's just the website not recognizing the phone number as a 10 digit entry, though I selected United states for the country. Or, is it a html5/javascript issue. Either way I can get the link and paste it. But to download it you need to be a registered member.

This is the actual file, http://a2phone.ir/index.php?file=/S..._USA Sprint Android 5.1.1 Full Flash Firmware. When I cut and paste that link into a new tab it shows a couple of options below. Selecting the first goes right to it. You then opt the file and brings you to a page that explains the options of obtaining the file. From there you click register and brings up a small form. I have been successful in filling in the information except phone number and parse (i think) version Of it. The title of the file is, T377PVPU1AOJ5_T377PSPT1AOJ5_USA Sprint Android 5.1.1 Full Flash Firmware. I want to be perfectly clear too. The file can be purchased via paypal for 12.00 us (I think that's the conversion). My intention is to pay for or by some other means legally obtain it. Any effort will be greatly appreciated, as I mentioned as will many others I'm sure.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Why is it available as a paid software?

This is the stock firmware of the phone and it should be made available for free always, no matter what.

Maybe if Samsung starts asking money for it then it's a different story. But someone can not sell someone else's free software.

Are you sure it's not fraud?
[General Questions and Answers] Dcafaro7:
It seems legit, but I have no way to know because in order to access anything I need to register and my translating program doesn't translate every word on the page. I tried finding a website contact. But not enough of the website is decyphered. Samsung doesn't have it on any of their US websites, and Sprint is worse than National Grid as far as navigation through their support pages or calling. I have all the specs of the build and the file name seems right. The same website comes up using various different search methods. So maybe it will download for free once a user name is registered. But I have no real way to check further. There are thousands of files on the forum pages for other devices that are free, but you still need a registered user account. But I am of complete understanding that there is a lot of room for my not understanding what is decyphered in the translatíon. I called Samsung, but the guy said the carrier has to issue the file if it's carrier branded. Dave

Hi, i've been around here for a while but as a user/tester, never created a device thread.

I have a device that has no topic of it's own on XDA (chinese tablet) and am getting ready to write up a tutorial for unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery and rooting. So, I have two specific questions:

1. Where exactly should I create this thread when I'm ready? (is there a way to request creation of a new device section?)

2. Where can i find guidelines for creating the thread title (ie, [Tutorial], [Howto], etc and which to use and how to write them, and best way to include device name in title)

I flashed/rooted my device using twrp 2.8.7.?377p and it went perfect. However after a few days it went into a loop. If I simply power on I get the screen with the triangle and the custom rom blocked by frp. If I get into download mode. I keep getting fails no matter what I try. I've tried reflashing twrp, but unless I'm doing something wrong it fails. I am on 5.1.1 from the factory. I get all the errors at various attempts. I've had aboot fail, custom rom block, and a few others. Odin acknowledges my device but won't reload anything. So, from what I gather from this website, reddit, and other googling ventures, reflashing the stock firmware seems to be the way to go. I've tried with files on an sd card, still nothing. When I had it up and running I set the developer options accordingly but did not do anything with knox counter. Dave
