@ ADDICT.ANK

Thanks for your reply :)

Brightness i already have on the day on 48% and at night i have it at 0%

What do you mean with acc. To BSS ?

Before your post i had just disabled the google location service ( will test if this helps )

Gps is already set on off by default.

Wifi is at night disabled and also data is disabled at night ( during the day i can try to disable wifi as i will have my 3G connection ) maybe it will help a bit.

Auto sync is already disabled, and facebook i removed from system cause i do not use it at all.

Question is why the device is not going into deepsleep mode ?

Thanks for all.

Regards,

ysco..

Hi

One of functions is freeze any apk / app.

I did it with FotaClient apk and have no more update message.

I don't know if this app works on your device or if have the same nomenclature of the apk into system.

Take a look in the screenshot, please.

Hey guys,

I have an STG S1 with the MT6737T processor and for some reason it started rebooting itself a few minutes after the GUI shows up and everything working fine. This started happening after I disabled the built-in Youtube app in an attempt to delete it completely but in vain.

Then I tried to factory reset my phone which ended up causing it to reboot mid-factory reset. Then somehow I got into the Chinese menu and hit one of the options that said something in Chinese and eMMC in the end. I can only assume it formatted all the partitions on my phone after that. Other menu items in Chinese were for testing different things from the touchscreen to the GPS.

I could not manage to flash anything into my phone using fastboot since it's on a locked state and unlocking doesn't work because I never enabled debugging or developer mode. So flashing a custom ROM using TWRP is out of the way.

I found this stock ROM but it's geared towards a slightly different processor MT6735 and changing the processor in the scatter file did no good. I flashed a couple of other ROMs here and there from totally different manufacturers but did not get any positive results. Some ROMs would just turn the screen totally dark, one of them would light up the screen (still dark and no logo). So I haven't gotten any luck into finding an actual ROM that could work for me.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to try different ROMs from different manufacturers but I am aware that I may risk bricking the phone once and for good but so far so good as it's still accepting "Format All + Download" from the SP Flash Tool.

I'm just sitting here looking at my phone wishing it had anything on it, even if it's a mere Linux headless console. I contacted the phone company and other people to try and get a stock ROM but in vain. I came across this and although it mentions both processors I'm skeptical that it could just be the same stock ROM that I'm seeing around. I emailed them but no response so far.

What can I do to get my phone up and running again?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

EDIT: A different stock ROM that works for MT6737T is available here. I bought it and releasing it for free.

This was probably the Engineering test mode, is not intended for average users but for developers and technicians thus you should just to put "mediatek recovery in chinese characters" in the Google (or other) search bar and you will find a lot of reference before to messed up worst.

Many of the modules/Prop/Config of MT6737 were taken from MT6735, it was not a great update, if you find inside the firmware an MT6735_Android_scatter file then it must to work always that you didn't definitely bricked your device.

If a normal flashing doesn't work then try flashing first the preloader and lk.bin file (1 or 2 if present) and after repeat the process and flash the other files excluding now these 2 (or 3).

Never is a good idea flashing different firmwares for other devices randomly, the probabilities to solve the issue is 1/1000.....

There are many links to download for free like the first you linked, I don't recommend you pay for the second link, it seems that they don't offer nothing special than the other.

[General Questions and Answers] Bloxxer:
I have a HTC One Mini 601a and I'm having trouble finding a TWRP img file to flash the recovery with. I'm not sure if one exists but I've tried the .img file for the other version of the HTC One Mini, even though it said that it wouldn't work, and obviously this didn't work. I noted the fact that it doesn't have a slot for a SD Card and the error after attempting to run the recovery menu said it had problems writing to an sdcard, so I tried to use a USB by plugging it into the Micro USB port at the bottom (because the USB comes with a Micro USB extension) and the recovery menu didn't work this time. Basically what I'm asking for is if anyone knows any TWRP versions or any other custom recovery menus that would support my phone. If anyone could help me on this, that would be very appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I've looked all over the place for what I'm looking for but couldn't find a working result, for those wondering if I searched first before coming here and making a post. I'm also new to this kind of stuff, but I know how to enter the bootloader, flash a recovery image, etc. (The basics)

Hi! Are there any Android firmware developers here? I'm new to this, may anyone recommend some books, etc. to improve my skills in Android firmware development like aosp ota updates, aosp qfil updates? I also cannot find any forums for Android firmware developers.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
By "firmware"you are talking about building ROMs?

As android goes up a version every year with substantiual changes to the OS as well as to the build process, and books would normally take longer than 12 months to write,check/review, publish, print and distribute, I think you would be better served by reading online articles.

One thread that may help is:

I managed to flash a rom but now i can't pass over recovery menu.

I saved proc/partition before flashing the image and i have the fstab of my system.

The thing is that i can't find a way to restore partitions via adb or simply doing a delete/create with the same size in order to put all the datas back.

If i run cat /proc/partitions now it shows only SD card partitions.

As now i have CWM i can run busybox/commands from ADB.

If there is any way to repair partitions or recreate them manually it would be amazing.

For now is just softbricked so i still have hope.

Possibly a stupid question, but:

I have a OnePlus 8T, and my "OEM Unlocked" toggle is grayed-out/inactive. Is this related to it not being network unlocked, or is it something else?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Is it running hot? Shut it off if it reaches 102F and keep it out of direct sunlight until cool.

Don't charge the phone and use it; it's skews the charging curve. It's ok to briefly use it or to listen to music on bt if not internet based ie songs you downloaded. Best to leave sit there and do it's thing. Li's love frequent midrange (roughly 40-70%) power cycling. It cuts down your charging time too if you use it like this.

Has the battery lost 80% or more of its original capacity?

If so it should be replaced.

Has it experienced a sudden drop in capacity and/or is it fast charging erratically?

If so it's likely a battery failure. If any bulging is visible have it replaced asap.

To start with try clearing the system cache, it's found on the boot menu.
[General Questions and Answers] LUNZUW:
Hello, thanks for replying. Yup, its' temp rises immediately as I have tested earlier when I turned on my phone after 2 days of it powered off in a room temp environment. But when I was charging it while it is powered off, it was not that hot but as it reached 48% the screen started glitching again and I immediately stopped it from charging.

I used to always use my phone while charging (even did heavy gaming), so might be the reason why. But ever since the problem started showing, I have stopped using my phone regularly, I only used it to check if the problem still occurs.

Umm, how do I check if some of its original capacity has lost?

It's fast charging normally.

I tried clearing system cache but did not fix the problem.

If it is okay to ask, why does the screen becomes all glitchy and freezes if it is a battery problem?
[General Questions and Answers] L.E.V.:
Hi,

I've read through all the "universal rooting" threads linked in the first post of the present thread. They are all quite old and thus refer to old versions of Android (like, 4.x). Aren't there some "universal" methods available for recent Android versions?

Specifically, I'm looking into getting root access to my filesystem. This is a vanilla Android 8.1 on a "noname" phone (brand Echo, model Feeling, manufacturer ModeLabs Mobiles). I don't need to flash another OS; I just want to be able to fully backup and restore the system (especially user settings...).

TIA!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If the battery can't supply enough current it can't produce enough watts of power.

Amperes are the quantity of electrons.

Voltage is the potential or "pressure" of those electrons.

V x A = watts.

The voltage converter can use or trade off amps to raise the voltage. That increases the required amps (or milliaperperes is this case) the battery must supply. The lower the battery voltage, the higher current drain will be. Inversely the higher the battery voltage or charge level, the current draw will be lower.

The required V+ for the mobo and the watts used by it always remain constant. If not undesirable things happen.

Knowing all the that you can try charging it to 90-100% and see if it changes its behavior.

A 20 watt brick should be capable of supplying enough watts to run the phone by itself*.

It could be a software or firmware issue.

Malware should always be considered when seeing any type of odd behavior.

It may be a battery, port PCB, mobo or display hardware failure in progress. Could also be a loose or poor connection with a ribbon cable.

*the power converter will throttle back the charge current if the phone is on. How it would respond to a failed battery while using the device is unknown by me.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you got a carrier branded device then they disables by default the OEM unlock option.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If I understood well you overwritten these partitions by flashing a wrong firmware on it that caused a soft(?) brick.

You can repair the file format on which the images of the partitions that you overwritten go but not the images themselves called sometimes by simple reference as partitions.

Usually when someone changes the extension of a system file where the images go this can be reverted through TWRP and probably can be done via adb if available on CWM but in your case the images were not backed up before and they´re gone.

In my opinion what you can do now is search for your stock ROM if available (probably not) or a firmware from a very similar device and depending which partitions were flashed before you should flash them trying to revive it i.e. userdata, system and cache could be possible atleast in theory.

Hi, I need help to root my phone. I'm noob here and english is not my first language. I'm sorry for the weird english. My phone is evercoss xtream 2 s45b. It is Indonesian phone powered by Spreadtrum SoC. I've unlocked the bootloader.

I try to root it using magisk. Just to make sure my process is correct. So first, I download the stock rom of evercoss xtream 2 s45b. From the zip file of the stock rom, I use spd flash too to extract the boot.img from the .pac file. After that, I use magisk manager version 23 to patch the boot.img file. In magisk manager, the is two option, 1. Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity , 2. Preseve force encrption , I don't understand both of them, so I uncheck both of them. After that, I proceed to select and patch the boot.img.

After I patched the boot.img using magisk manager ver 23.0 , I use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img , the command that I use is "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img" . I use this command on both windows 10 and ubuntu 18.04. In windows 10, the result is "fastboot: error: boot partition is smaller than boot image" while in ubuntu 18.04, the result is

"target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'boot' (35840 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.916s]

writing 'boot'..."

I left it for 2 hour but it still writing 'boot' with no success. Eventually, I restart my phone. It still function normally. Nothing seems to change, but the phone is still not rooted. Both the boot.img and patched_boot.img size is (36.700.160 bytes). Any help is very appreciated!

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your device doesn't come with Google Play Store then is why you can't install it.

Anyway Play Store can be installed (yet) but Play Services doesn't run properly.

It could be due to EOL (End Of Life) if Play Store discontinued the support for some (old) models, same happened with some (old) BB devices till newer ones again entered to the Play Store service support after some years as it seems it happened with new Urovo devices.
