[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
New Huawei devices can't be bootloader unlocked or flashed with anything other than official software. I would say try resetting by using the power button + volumeup +volumedown at the same time. When boot logo appears, release the power button but keep holding the volume buttons. It should reset.

As a side note, if your family member used some of the famous apps for root (like framaroot or towelroot or kingoroot), then maybe your ROM is corrupted. I can't find the firmware anywhere online due to this device being old (from 2014) and you need it if you intend to flash it to stock. Sorry
[General Questions and Answers] Autissima:
Hrm, is 2014 new enough that it doesn't work? But thanks, I'll try to reset it that way, I hope they didn't try to root it or something but I also wouldn't know what'd mess it up like this otherwise...

I found some images of system, boot, recovery on another forum, but that's presumably not the rom then? I also didn't have any luck finding something else...

Thanks a lot for the answer already in any case.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It isn't worth repairing even if you could, devices that old are too deprecated to reasonably use today's software and apps, it makes them extremely slow, they run warmer than they "should", and they use way too much battery, especially with social media apps installed on them. At this point, it is junk not worth fooling with.
[General Questions and Answers] Autissima:
Yeah that's fair, I thought it was a little bit older, shoulda checked that first haha. The other restore didn't work either so I think I'll call it here for now, thanks a lot though.
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
I found that same firmware in the other forums and sadly they are for the mediapad 10 link and your device is the Link+ (different device but similar name) and as @Droidriven has said, any device lower than android 7.0 is not worth fixing these days as we are approaching android 14 (yours comes with 4.1.2).

Its like trying to use Windows 98 nowadays 🤣 - playstore won't work and ram/storage would get clogged quickly

Can I create a mobile OS based off of AOSP?

I want to create a Android-like OS but I just want to modify icons, text, logo, etc. Is this possible?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Theoretically yes , but its a LOOOOT of work.

To modify the items you have listed, an existing custom ROM would probably be a better path and have the options/features already built in. If thats not enough, starting from a custom ROM source and modifying that would be a much easier path. And thats what I have done.

And if thats still not enough, then I would look into Xposed/LSposed style mods, before creating a whole new Android AOSP fork.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, yeah, no need to reinvent the wheel or build a better mousetrap if you don't need to, right?
[General Questions and Answers] Skeuomorph:
Good night, everyone!

I use a Moto G5 Plus phone, OS Android 8.1, non-rooted, and I've noticed that there are certain apps that either freeze the full apps list when I access the system's app manager, in which case it unfreezes when I swipe left to go back to where the 'Recently opened apps' list appears, or they both freeze said apps list and also make the Settings app itself stop working altogether, with the infamous message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" popping up, usually preceded by the screen going black for a moment.

Now, one of my first thoughts was that it might be that my phone was very full (it was at around 88-89% full at the time) and that that was taking its toll on RAM, but after a factory reset and installing only very few apps, with barely 34% of the phone's ROM full, the same issue made an appearance again.

I would also like to point out that I'm not sideloading these apps, but installing them straight from Google's store. I'm aware that plenty of malicious apps still find their way there, but I do check reviews, data safety, requested permissions, etc, always before installing anything from there, and one of the apps that's giving me this trouble is TuneIn!, not really an app I would consider dodgy, but who knows, I guess.

The issue goes away once I uninstall such apps, and thus far I haven't been able to spot any other signs of anything wrong other than that whenever they're still installed on my phone.

What could be causing such behavior?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Well I did it. But I have no idea how I did. Managed to find a program for Windows that created a so-called flashable image to enable ADB. It managed to successfully flash the boot images. Rebooted the device, it got past the splash screen and to the AT&t logo then it told me there was a verification issue and I needed to factory reset my device. So I clicked the button that did just that and it booted up got to the part of the setup wizard where you turn on Wi-Fi and there was no warning of a managed device. The application involved is not present on the device in either the application list or any other list I can look up. In all actuality it looks exactly the same as it did the first day I acquired it when there was no managed profiles on it. So how it went from normal to managed back to normal again is a question I have not answered. It's very strange. So far as I can tell all normal abilities for Android device are present and accounted for. Though given there is limited information on this device I doubt it can be bootloader unlocked. I think the best idea if it can be is to get this ROM off of it and put something on it so this doesn't happen again.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What was the name of the Windows tool that you used?
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Probably either ODIN or something similar that would flash an "enable adb file" (like this here) which can be used for nefarious purposes -- not that I'm accusing DragonFire1024 of doing; just that DragonFire may have used the tool/method for legitimate use instead of nefarious that it's known for....

This is just my guess; it's on DragonFire to confirm....
[General Questions and Answers] jalrc:
Hi! I have a situation: my dad's smartphone (LG Q60) broke down a while ago. As he didn't remember the password to access his Google account, he created a 2nd one on his new device.

As time went by, the old phone "revived", but he also forgot the login pin to this phone. Then when we wanted to recover the password on google so that we can use the "find device" function and create a temporary password to access the phone, this company sends a verification code precisely to the email we are trying to recover, leaving us in limbo.

I don't know if there is a way that doesn't involve a factory reset because my dad never enabled USB debugging, so -apparently- I can't use the ADB function.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Hmmm...that's a lot of forgetting on the part of your poor Dad...

Just wanted you to know that due to FRP, even if you factory reset your device, you'd still need to login back in and/or need the screenlock to still use the device after the factory reset. I mean, this isn't "set in stone" so to say, but it's up to you (and cannot use this site to inquire about) how to un"set [it] in stone"; it varies by device and you'll have to sift through like 98% fake success stories/methods before maybe finding one that works.

And IIRC -- it's been a while -- if you don't remember anything at all on the recovery of your Google account, as you go deeper in the Forgot Password/Account, it will give you the option to escalate the request to Google for other verification and/or for them to look deeper in their system for verification and would email you something (questions or other verification methods, i imagine) and then they'd allow you access to recover; but I've never ever seen anything come of this for anyone (including myself).

Good luck.

I have a USB3 to SATA3 cable that I use to connect hard drives to my PC for various troubleshooting, diagnoses, repair and backup processes. I have a 1TB SATA3 hard drive that keeps connecting and disconnecting, other drives connect fine. I've disabled the various power management features in windows that disable power to drives and USB ports but it still isn't keeping a connection. The drive is from a PC that bugged out but didn't BSOD. Any ideas to find any kind of signs of life in this drive, I'm thinking its just a failed drive but trying all the tricks I can find first.

[General Questions and Answers] jalrc:
Wow, sounds bad haha. The only thing my dad remembers well is the alias he added to the account, but to no avail. Apparently it must be too sensitive or important a case for Google to take a stand in this particular case, because the options for escalating it are very limited.

I don't need to back up the apk if I'm using the most current one from the Play store, correct?

I used Titanium Backup on Subway Surfers on my old phone and then tried to restore it on my tablet. It didn't work. Titanium said it successfully completed the restore but my game data wasn't updated. I then tried copying the files manually from Android/Data and android_secure but that didn't work either.

As a test, I used Helium to backup Subway Surfer on my tablet and it successfully restored on my Nexus. So how can I get Subway Surfers off my old Gingerbread phone and on to the Nexus if I can't use Helium on the Gingerbread phone? That is where I have the highest level and the most boards/characters/keys/coins so that's the game I want.

Is this something I can only do with the paid version of Titanium Backup? I was hoping to avoid the paid version because I plan on using Helium instead.

Okay normally that zip file has data.IMG, system.IMG in it. So ifbu open the zip with winrarvand it has those files then it should work. But I suggest u search for that PG32IMG file and use it.

It would restore ur stock ROM and stock recovery and u would loose root.

Remember, maybe not all (being just the use of the phone) is lost; maybe. FRP blocking you from using the device may or may not be set in stone (sorry, I can't get more into it here). You'd still have to factory reset and your Dad's unbacked up data will be lost, but there is a chance you could still use the device. If that's of any interest for you...

Sorry for not more hopeful news...
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Sorry if I didn't understood correctly, if you're trying to read your SATA3 through a USB3, probably your PC is facing some kind of disruption, you can avoid them by:

- Disconnecting some unnecessary peripheral, from inside the CPU, like a CD reader.

- Disconnecting the current, and Inserting your SATA3 directly to the CPU, in case it is compatible, booting (or trying to) from it.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Id go with @SubwayChamp on plugging directly into a spare SATA3 port on your motherboard. By using the USB3 adapter, you dont really know if its the drive OR the adapter that is bugging out. These adapters are commonly cheaper units, than motherboard circuits with a BIOS.

A little history/personal experience. I had a 500GTB drive a few years back (many now) that would often fail, but a software drive fix would get it back on line, with the odd corrupt file (not that I explicitly noticed). I didnt have mission critical stuff on it. One day I got another 500GB drive, and instead f simply replacing the faulty one, I instead created a Windows RAID1 (mirrored) drive between the new and the buggy one. Every now and then that RAID drive (2 HD's) had to go under repair. However, after a while, the RAID mirror drive stopped failing. I *think* that all the questionable sectors got marked as bad on the old drive, and then all was good. Until I upgraded the dogy drive with a 3TB drive (a failed security video unit) and used 500MB from my old mirror (the new drive of the two) and the remainder as a simple drive. ie maybe dont give up on the drive if you have enough spare SATA ports. I would of maybe gone RAID 5, but I was out of SATA ports. I have a LOT of drives and they are all RAID.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Firstly, you have to search that some custom recovery even exists for this device, if you find one, then probably, the method to install it, comes with that found.

Custom recoveries are device-specific, so, if there's not one, then you can't install a recovery that wasn't built for it.

Hello I'm after some help regarding a charger. I have just bought a tcl40se and there seems to be limited forums for tcl phones.

I plugged the phone into the quick charge plug which can do both p.d. and q.c.3 both seemed slower them my Xiaomi phone, I downloaded an app and p.d. was slow. Like peaking at 500mah charge. Q.c was getting to between 900-1200 mah and fluctuated up and down.

It showed on the app around 4w charging power even though in a 18w plug.

Is this normal? Or do I need a better plug?

I also tried different cables, the one that came with the phone only gave 500mah on both plug types, but my other cable is where I got the better result .

I need help with the TWRP recovery menu.

Today, I decided to root my old Samsung Galaxy A20e and install a custom ROM to it as a way to learn about such things. I unlocked the Bootloader, then I downloaded Magisk to make a patched boot.img file, I then used SDK platform tools to sideload it but that didn't work. After that I downloaded the TWRP recovery.tar file for my model, entered into download mode and used the Odin tool to load it into my phone. The phone booted into the TWRP main screen (the one with the logo and teamwin Recovery Project 3.3.1-0 written on it). I tried swiping to get into the menu but it didn't respond, i then tried to reboot but it was the stock startup screen with the The phone is not running Samsung's official software. text and it went to the main TWRP screen again. This time, i still couldn't access the menu.

Now I'm stuck on this screen with no way to access anything. I also can't boot into the normal bootloader to maybe factory reset and try again. I did update all of the USB drivers on my laptop and used a fresh install of platform tools, Odin, and the recovery.tar file. I do have the stock Firmware for the device on my PC so I probably could reinstall that using Odin if I somehow got into the download menu but I can't for whatever reason.

What am I supposed to do now?

edit: I am aware that this probably isn't the right place to ask this question but I couldn't find a similar question or the thread for the Galaxy A20e so if anybody could point me in that direction that would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You can`t sideload without a custom recovery (for this specific case)

Did you check the TWRP you installed is for your device? And it didn`t need to flash other file over TWRP, for example vbmeta image, or DM verity? I mean, you`re sure, you followed all the instructions?
