I don't have this device and there's very little of anything available on the forum that's Device Specific...

Since your specific device has a Mediatek MT6580 Chipset, you now have a different angle/direction for Rooting the device using either the term "MT6580" or "MT65xx" (MT65xx = any Mediatek device that starts with "MT65").

With that guidance...

It looks like one or both of the following Root Specific threads should apply to your device as well.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3869774

Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them as well but, first read the OP and perform a search for your question to help eliminate any redundant questions and such.

Regarding a Custom Recovery, There should be something on the forum as well if you look at the Mediatek angle as stated above.

Good Luck! :)

I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and I'm having trouble with the icon swipe up gestures. You know when you hold an app icon, sometimes more options appear (like when you hold the Chrome app icon it shows a pop-up with options to open a new tab or incognito tab)? Well, I was hoping to trigger those when I swipe up an icon on my home screen (For example, I want to open my music player by tapping on it but have it shuffle my songs when I swipe up). Is there any way to do this?

Low end and mid range devices typically don't get much support worth mentioning around here, if it isn't a popular device among developers, a flagship device or a high end device, it's pretty much a waste of time if you are looking for a device that is well supported by developers.

My battery drains so fast when it reaches 15% it drains from 15% to 0% in 5-8 minutes but the battery is new
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
You need calibrate battery stats.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
After flashing a new room, you may need to callibrate the battery, in case battery draining is fast.
[General Questions and Answers] Pacifista00:
TY very much but how do i callibrate it?
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
Their are so many apps for battery calibration. Search on play store and install one? Follow instructions properly as suggested by calibration app.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Here. Download battery callibrater by super Thomas lab. Now charge your phone to 100%. callibrate before taking charger off. Now let it fully discharge. Then charge fully to 100% while it's switched off(after discharging). Done

[Q] What do these apks do (system) ?

Hi, an android noob here.

I was going around the root directory of my android 6.0.0 phone{ :( } and had some questions. One thing I should mention that my phone is heavily themed by the vendor (Gionee/ Amigo).

1. What is the purpose/use of following apks. These are present in the

/system/priv-app

.

SettingsProvider &SystemUI

2. In the same directory, there exist two sets of DownloadsProvider and SettingsProvider. One set has "com.amigo.<apk name>" and other has "com.android.<apk name>" file names. If I was to delete "amigo" ones, would I get stock settings and downloads?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You might get none of them if you remove the "amigo" files. They may be associated in a manner that they need each other to work and removing any of them breaks the other.

They aren't just apps that are installed in system, they are apps that are built into the UI/Launcher itself.

For instance, HTC devices use Sense for its UI, Samsung uses TouchWiz for its UI, these are vendor UI's, they are like "skins" on top of the "stock" or "vanilla" android based UI that is provided by Google's android source code, these vendor UI's have vendor apps that are built into their UI, removing certain vendor apps from the vendor UI, breaks the UI.

Hello, I'm having a problem with my battery draining faster than it can charge, my phone is a LG V20, H918. First thought was that I had a bad battery, but I put s volt meter & the battery has 3.5volts when my phone is showing 0% charge. The best I can get is about 7% charge with the phone off & charging, tried other chargers & hooked it up to my laptop & it's the same thing I can't get enough charge to turn the phone on. Another thing I need to mention (wondering if the following could b the cause), I rooted the phone last year, & this battery problem started when I done the dumb thing of clicking on the update system notification. When the phone rebooted it got stuck on the TWRP recovery screen & couldn't get past, I flash some of the files I had saved from when I rooted the phone (i.e. Magisk v16, lg v20 10p stock v1.1. Zip, & lg v20 stock 10p kernel.zip), but I still couldn't get past the TWRP recovery. Finally I tried by wiping the system & data while in TWRP then shut down the phone then restarted pressing volume down & pwr button to do a factory reset, this finally worked, I was able to boot up normally, but with no root. I notice the battery problem from the time I was stuck in TWRP recovery mode, at first I thought that was the way recovery mode drained the battery but it kept draining even when I was able to get the phone up & running, which didn't last long because by then the battery was at about 9% & soon after powered off & haven't been able to get enough charge to turn back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Settings provider means device settings i.e. sensor settings, CPU/gpu settings etc.

And system UI is the interface of your Android

No they will not be replaced by stock. Your device will search for the amigo files, and them being missing, your system will crash even before system boots

Need help with Asus Zenfone 3 max power issue

Good afternoon

i have a problem with a phone ( hope i am posting in the right place sorry Newbie here )

i have this Asus Zenfone 3 Max phone here and it has an issue with switching on

here is what is happening..

the phone when plugged into a charger or laptop will show an orange light and within between 5 to 10 seconds the screen will light up with the battery with the symbol of a lightening bolt thats about it... if i plug it into my laptop windows does its beeping so meaning laptop knows the phone is there

so thats the charging situation now when it comes to powering it up it will only just give a quick vibrate and thats about it

i figured that i would give it a reset by holding down the volume up and power buttons it will light up giving 3 options 1) fastboot 2) Recovery and 3) normal if i select Recovery or fastboot the screen will display Asus and powered by Android but few seconds it will just go off again

i did take it to a technician who said that the flex between the battery and mainboard was damaged but this technician managed to fire up the phone to fully working state but later in the day maybe 4 hours later the phone just died again

another technician said that the battery needs replacing ( today got replacement battery ) with new battery the phone is still the same

so with all that in mind i am i am wondering what could be the problem and if anyone knows the answer or better still a solution

i am wondering if this is a software issue as for me it seems strange to see the battery with a bolt symbol in it as if memory serves me right its normally with the % symbol

how did the first technician get the phone working for those 4 or so hours

many thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
From your details I see that the probability of the battery being damaged is more. But take this. That new battery that you have received may not have charge in it, so it's better of you charge your phone for at least 8 hours then inform us about the situation then.

Hello there,

I need a little hint about Magisk...

Back when I used SuperSU I knew it was possible to do

- Password locked root granting

- Rooted process logging

But I can't find these (very useful) features in Magisk. Is there any way to add it — the second one in particular – or will I have to give up and regret the good old SU days?

(I have the latest Magisk manager app: 6.1.0 and Magisk system: v18.0, reason why I'm surprised these features still missing)

The first technician that said the ribbon cable is damaged, was probably correct, if the cable is damaged, changing the battery isn't going to fix anything, the cable needs to be replaced, I would focus on fixing that part, if the cable is actually damaged as the technician said it was.
[General Questions and Answers] nighthawk658:
thanks for your message... the Flex/ribbon cable is fixed to the battery

i followed what another member suggested to me by putting the phone with new battery on charge for 8 hours its had about 10 hours on charge -- when checking it this morning the orange light was still on this time when pressing power button there was no vibrate nor will it go into hard reset mode when plugging into the laptop no sign of life no sound from laptop and no battery symbol display on phone just as if the battery has 0 life in it but 10 minutes later it suddenly displayed the battery on screen and connect with laptop as a sign its possibly charging

with this in mind i am wondering if this phone has some sort of software issue that is affecting the charging as mentioned before the battery icon shows up on the display when charger is plugged in but with the lightening bolt symbol and not a percentage % symbol and the first technician who took a look at it even got it to fire up i assume by putting a charge directly to the battery
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ahh, I didn't consider that the cable was part of the battery.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Ok, now check this. Try charging the phone on your laptop. While it's charging, try to switch it on. Check the battery percentage. If it's more than 20 plug your charger off and note how long it lasts. Else make it charged when it's switched on till 20 and then check

Yes you can put a lock, but only via fingerprint.

And there is a log option in the side menu, containing Superuser log and the magisk log

@ Ssssss8622 thanks given that a try already with no success power button doesnt respond when plugged in

here is what i see when plugging it into laptop in device manager it will show up MT65xx pre-loader this will appear a few times and i get the connect and disconnect sound on laptop

when plugged into laptop or any other charger i noticed now that the battery icon with the lightening bolt takes longer to display. but i also just noticed when is when trying to fire up phone without charger the battery icon with bolt is now displaying for a few seconds whereas before it wuld just vibrate
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
You mean it still shows charging when not connected to charger (For a bit at least) ??

That's weird. And while charging power button doesn't work ??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Strange, it seems to be "showing" that it is charging, but at the same time it doesn't actually seem to charge?

Then it's doing the connect/disconnect with PC like MTK devices sometimes do when trying to connect to flashtool without the battery?

It seems to be "charging" but acting like it has no battery installed at all?

Seems to be another MTK device in need of using the MTK unbrick methods?

I wonder if pressing power, volume up or volume down at the right moment in the connection loop while running MTK flashtool will boot it into fastboot/flash mode?

Maybe run an echo script in adb to halt the connection to prevent disconnect? Then see if adb can fix or at least diagnose the issue?
[General Questions and Answers] nighthawk658:
when charging the battery on display shows for about 5 seconds and thats about all i got out of the phone....... but now that same battery icon will appear if i press the power button while (NOT) charging i would normally say that if the battery appears like that when trying to turn on is telling the battery is empty..... but that is the first time today that appeared

yes while it is connected to laptop or charger the power button doesnt respond no vibrate or anything
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Yes bro that's the point. Every symptom that he is giving states the absence of a battery/a damaged battery. This can mean two things. Either the battery(new) is not a genuine one or else the motherboard cannot give any charge to the battery

Pressing combination keys while Computer is reconnecting does nothing.

And the echo script could have been of help. I just wonder if he can go to fastboot and help himself
[General Questions and Answers] nighthawk658:
yes that what it seems like its doing that the signs are there its charging such as the orange light and responding by displaying the battery with the lightening bolt but its actually not charging at all in fact all it seems now is whatever charge was in the battery is now gone and will take a while for it to respond again when plugged in

i did read somewhere that if the bootloader is corrupted or some other software is corrupt that it can have an affect on the charging.. not quite convinced its a hardware issue just yet

but going back to my original post where i mentioned a technician got the phone started but only lasted 4 hours or so obviously the guy must of got a charge in the battery some how my guess is jumping a couple of wires across the +/- pins of the battery and got it fired up that way

if i am to attempt that option what will i need since i believe the voltage of the battery is around 3.6v give or take and usb kicks out 5v what would be the safest way for a test

as for the new battery its 100% genuine

as for the ADB thing please give me more details i really have no clue about this sort of stuff i personally only ever flashed one phone and that was only because Alcatel provided the software on their site and it was all just mostly click next and wait
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your battery at some point lost all the charge try with an old charger, some batteries need to achieve a low level atleast to be charged regularly after that, some workaround is charge it by 10 minutes, unplug it and reconnected again repeating around ten times and don´t try to turn on device, then connect to a normal charger.

If the charging is not displayed correctly is not a conclusive reference that your battery is not charging, at this point it could be two things discarding the health of your battery; your motherboard is damaged at certain level or the software is not working properly and not communicating any signal of life from it.

Let aside by a moment the battery issue and assume that it works fine. If you connect correctly at the proper manner your device to the pc while you´re using SPFlashTool then device can´t try to reboot nor get out from this state cause the tool avoids that any ampere will be emitted from the battery circuit, it means that in download mode your device is in a sort of "dead" state.

Older mtk devices just need to connect to the tool to works properly, in the case of your device you have to connect one of the terminal USB cables to your device but not yet to the pc, open SPFlashTool and browse to the scatter.txt file (inside your firmware), once you got it tap on Download (previously choose Download Only) and right now at same time that you connect to pc press and hold vol down button and then of 2 seconds you will see a red (maybe violet) line in the tool and hear a sound from the pc, flashing has to start now.
[General Questions and Answers] nighthawk658:
ok thanks for that will try the options you said above....

tho i am not sure about the scatter.txt file as i have not downloaded the firmware for this phone as its quite a large download and downloading and installing of new firmware would be last resort

but what i would like if there is any options and software to do it it to gain some sort of access to the phone via PC using PC to do some diagnostics or maybe get PC to force the phone to respond in one way or another i have already downloaded and installed the MT65xx preloader USB driver and will show in my device manager VCOM usb for android under ports tho it will disappear a few times
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If in the past device showed a weird behaviour by completely power off and not more than minor signals of life I think that you need to return it to the life anyway you will need a working firmware to flash it onto it.

Mtk devices has basically three recovery modes; fastboot/bootloader, recovery properly said and download. If your device was not unlocked previously or not even enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock before you won´t have a fastboot/bootloader working status, some older Asus devices can be unlocked via an app available in the official site. Also you couldn´t get recovery mode so your device switched off every time that it tries to enter to this mode and the third mode you can´t know if device enters or not untill you have it connected with the tool running.

On mtk drivers stuff if I read well your device have a mtk6737T processor so mt65xx drivers don´t work properly, the Vcom drivers are installed when you run SPFlashTool for first time so no need to install them apart, just install the latest version of the tool.

Said that how you expect to get any kind of response from pc if your device is not getting any of these three modes?

While device is power off you won´t see any hoping information from devices manager so your battery would be sleeping and...if you get to put your device in a download mode but without the tool running then as your battery is in a weird state this will disconnect it in just few seconds.

If you replaced battery and it´s ok now then you have just two possibilities now; motherboard is damaged or simply you need to flash the right firmware, while two pins receive voltage and returns amperes the third communicates battery status to the motherboard but like I said before if motherboard is damaged (I don´t think so) then to know you´ll need to flash (or try to) a firmware, recreate the process and see what happens.

Hello everyone, I think I ****ed up my phone :)

So this retarded application Folder Mount [ROOT] is really retarded, I tried using it so I could move whole data files from apps/games on SD but it first popped up with error finding two troublesome modules - system/bin/sdcard and system/bin/vold and offered to fix things. So I let the app repair and it briefly patched something and I restarted phone, just to find out that application screwed with SD card and none of the apps on SD work ( greyed out icons ). Now today I tried reformatting SD card multiple times as external and internal but its really ****ed now. Im not sure how to access this backup that application claimed to made in system/bin so if someone could point me there, I would be gratefull. Also right now Im having problem with installing apps from SD (app not installed) and Google Play fail. How to access system/bin so I could find old files that were patched by this retarded application. Also I tried installing file explorer (to access system/bin ? ) via ADB but it just put out install_failed_container_error.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
SD card apps will not work after you remove SD card. Go to settings>apps and uninstall you unusable apps from there. Then install them again.

For system/sbin, use es file explorer. Give it root permission, go to root folder, from there system, then sbin.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Okay, sometime simple things are the ones that you waste the most time on.... there was sdbackup and I renamed it to sdcard after deleting current sdcard so its now showing sd card on PC. Now I'll try folder mount again, Im just not sure if I should backup vold too, what is vold for anyway.

Also can you link me xposed installer, I deleted it because it was on SD, I think the framework is installed on system so I just need installer. - Nvm I got it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
What do you need folder mount for?? If you have to use it anyway, use supersu as the app creates problems with magisk.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
I've wanted to move whole data - of games/apps on SD to SD, since I already have OBB on SD, because it keeps filling up my internal memory which results in lag on whole phone, now I also have problem with app not installed.... when trying to install xposed installer.

ok Im really dumb I placed the old vold backup back in system and made card damaged.
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Obb on sd can do that. You don't need folder mount at all. It is an obselete application.

For app not installed, install the version that you used before. I remember that you used a variated version of Xposed. Use the same installer that you used then. Its possible that Xposed was not installed correctly.
