I don't know, there are different ways to unlock devices. The only person that knows the details you are asking about is the person you bought it from. There is no way for us to tell you what the seller did or did not do or how they went about it or what they used. I don't even know what makes you think we could answer those kinds of details with anything more than assumptions.

If you want to flash a different firmware on it, tap on the three dashes above to the left, and see which CSCs are compatible with your device, then search for the most convenient firmware (at least for same continent will work), then flash it through Odin. If from the new firmware you find two CSCs files you have to use the different from HOME_CSC file to get it out completely from the actual APNs/settings and this will format/reset your device.
[General Questions and Answers] Ledzee:
Maybe because I am using the free apk and not the paid appstore version - this doesnt work. The Firmware Browser throws the error: "SamMobile: org.apache.harnomy.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException: At line 1, column 0: no element found"

Is there another way to check what firmware is compatible? As you can see, the product code is: SM-A528BZKIBRI
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
See here the CSC codes for region https://www.androidsage.com/2017/07...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/, from your phone app dial *#06# to see your first IMEI, copy it in some place, pull out your SIM card, then dial *#272*IMEI#, from the list of CSCs available for your device compare with CSC region codes, then choose which is convenient, if you have something like sales+codes, then choose this option, restart device, insert your SIM again.

This is just to apply a different CSC that will bring you regional adaptation, if you want to change the whole firmware, pick a firmware from the compatible CSC and flash it through Odin.

hello,

is it possible to run something like checkdisk (disk error fixer) on old android 4.4.2?

I do not understand anything about linux / android.

I tried, but was unable to unmount the /data.. I see that possibly I should mess with bootloader, install TWRP or even flash whole phone?

Is not this like simple everyday problem that does not require any flashing?

The thing is I am unable to write anything to that phone although it has 200 Mb free. I deleted some database files from data directory and since then it started not allowing to write anything, even to take a picture from camera.

I went to rooter app and cleared the cache. It helped initially, I thought problem solved. But after few hours again unable to write anything.

when I run

````

lsof | grep /data

````

There is lot of files currently open. But how then the rooter app is succesfull in clearng the cache if it is in use? Can't I simply run the scandisk (

````

e2fsck -n /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata

````

) somehow? because now it says unable to do anything as file system is in use

Even from the root shell ( su )...

Hi, I want to root Galaxy Note 8 with not working touch from top around 40%.

I flashed TWRP 3.2.3-0, now I need to format data but I can't touch button.

I tried Advanced>Terminal then "twrp format data", but it didn't worked.(https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html)

Is there way to format data in twrp terminal or some other way?

[General Questions and Answers] manirvecs:
Hi,

I am noob in android, but is not it possible to run twrp command like you would do regular app from adb? - Just a DIFFERENT subset of commands than in regular adb session (This also has been clarified by @DiamondJohn . Thank you!)

Just like in a regular session you would run some shell command

- Turns out this exact uninstall line will NOT work in twrp (Thank you @DiamondJohn for clarifying this)

):

adb.exe shell pm uninstall -k com.whatsapp

so similarly - turns out there is no need to set root. Thanks @SubwayChamp for clarifying!

adb root

adb shell twrp format data

?

something in that direction?.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
TWRP has enabled ADB by default, if you are connecting your device to a PC you should need to open a CMD in Windows (or other OS), as the other member said, in order to use twrp commands, you need to execute first adb shell (no need root permissions), to can transfer your file to the root of your device you just need adb, just do adb push drag&drop your root solution to the CMD windows /sdcard then you can install it with twrp install /sdcard/nameofthefile.extension

In order to root it, you don't need to format data, if you still want to format data and or wipe some available partition, just be sure to operate within the shell script. If you format data, and again you need to use TWRP you should restart to it, because files remain unavailable.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Shell commands in TWRP are different to what can be run in the Android OS. TWRP is not running the full OS and so install and uninstall are some of the commands that will not run. The install/uninstall steps are within the OS. There are other commands that can only be run in recovery.

Can i sideload ota rom by stock recovery without computer?

My MI A2 (android one) is not rooted, locked bootloader, running Android 8.1 oreo. If i download official MI A2 global pie ota recovery rom and place it on root internal storage, boot into stock recovery, click "apply update from sd cad option" will my device update?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes, if the firmware suits for this specific build number, anyway, if you can power on the device the update also can be done through the /Settings/Update/Apply updates section, the device will use some recovery scripts to do so.

I have an old Samsung Tab 2 10in gt-p5113

My end goal is to use this tablet for the basiscs, it is fast enough for its time, but everything gives me errors, websites, apps (like netlflix, youtube etc) will not load or will give errors. Cannot install new apps. It's just a pain in the A

Chrome OS, Ubunut, Lineage OS are the things that I have come across so far that can possibly get me where I want to be.

Chrome OS may not be possible, Ubunut will likely be more complicated to use, so that leaves Lineage OS

So as far as I understand it, I will need to root my device to gain access required to install this OS

(Magisk will not be needed if I root?)

Once that's done, I will need to use gapps to install google applications.

Is this correct?

I have a tablet that uses customized system.There are some limits like unabling to use network,unabling to boot in fastboot,unabling to install other apks except it's own market and so on(in fect it's a student tablet) .I used EDL mode to get system.img and found some code in services.jar.Then I decompiled the classes.dex in services.jar by dex2jar and got the source code by jd-gui.After I deleted a file folder and edit I tried to use javac to recompile but fail.What's worse,I found there's same code in framework.jar and other files like services.vdex,services.odex and services.art.I don't konw how to deal with it now since I'm new to Android development.Can anyone provides some solutions about my tablet?Many thanks!

I don't know if you can find exactly a LineageOS ROM for your device, finding some would be good though. You can search in this forum if there’s something available https://xdaforums.com/f/galaxy-tab-2-10-1-android-development.1602/ read carefully that the ROM matches for your specific model.

You don't need root to can flash a custom ROM, but a custom recovery, if you find a custom ROM for it most likely you will find a custom recovery too, once you get it take a backup of your EFS (where IMEI is placed).

Some custom ROMs include Gapps, other not, in this case you should flash it.

Hey, thank you!

Yes, I really have some very important questions for someone who knows their stuff!

So: I have an almost unknown smartphone, a Beafon X5. With Android 7.0.

A great device, just for one.. "Modder" like me, a bit problematic, because absolutely no custom software can be found for it...

But now I've managed to trying Rootaccess For the device.. With your Awesome app, Mtk Easy root and magisk.

My questions :

# can I somehow change the /system/ directory to rwx 7777 for me? Because now it doesn't work, just because of the systemless root. (at least I think) The chown/chmod commands Not working.

It will be" read-only file system" every time printed. I just want to replace the boot animation.

# Question 2:

Why can I only use after every reboot, mtk-Easy-root again from new, to activate magisk?? Why didnt work magisk, Although the SU is insatlled? Only if the mtk script has been run before, I can use the superuser in the magisk Manager Serve.

Have you an idea for this Problem?

Thank you, and best wishes from germany!

This app is based on Temp-root by diplomatic and could ease the usage, I can't tell you if it improves on something to the original development because I didn't try it myself; https://github.com/JunioJsv/mtk-easy-su.

What you are mentioning are limitations, which answers you should find in its own thread. It is a solution, most likely, for devices that lacks of original firmware and/or can't be unlocked, and it can't be perfect.

Personally I could look on this; https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, if it works for your specific device (assuming that it is a MediaTek device), it could be the best solution.

You probably aren't booting the device into fastboot mode, I say this because you said "adb devices" works but "fastboot devices" does not work, if "adb devices" works, you aren't in fastboot mode.

Here is sold as a single SIM device https://www.ebay.com/p/24031128252?iid=363691007125 and from your screenshot, I have to assume that there is only a single IMEI. There are many versions from these devices, some are hybrid dual SIM with apparently only DSS support (an old and poor implementation), for this you may need to take out the SD card, place your nano-SIM there and set a specific SIM every time you want to use it, but apparently your device doesn't support it.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, you said this, in the thread linked: "My device is not rooted.Yes,I selected multiple apps to uninstall and Asus launcher,Play Store,Google Play Services and some other system apps also got selected accidenlty and when Uninstall button was clicked, I suppose were downgraded in the process."

The apps you did choose to "uninstall" although are not uninstalled this way (assuming you did it using ADB pm) are cut from the user control and sight (as if they were frozen), some OEMs require from these apps by running normally to can boot to OS.

And, not, the apps are not downgraded this way as if you replace them by the original app that came with.

Unfortunately you won't find a specific QPST built for this specific Asus model device nor any other specific device, QPST was developed for the Qualcomm family, the eMMC programmer (firehose) is the file that allows to use/communicate with this tool if a specific QPST version supports it.

The eMMC programmer file is expected to be found in your stock firmware, if it doesn't have it then you can't use it by normal means.

If the stock firmware have the needed files for QPST tool, then you can try with this method:

Where did you get the firmware from? Charged directly from the manufacturer or from somewhere on the net? And do you SUREly have exactly the right stock ROM?

Ich kenne solche Meldungen nur von gesperrten Bootloadern und falsch geflashten Betriebssystemen wie wir

I want to apologize if you already knew all this, but if not, a sample screenshot of how I know this:

The listed firmwares are still ALL "only" a device model, here the Samsung galaxy S7edge, so the very special Version of the galaxy s7...

And although the hardware has remained virtually the same, each time there are slightly different Android versions on it (6-8?), but they still all have the same API and the same version. Changes are not from the androidcode, But the general small changes...

Ok, I just noticed one of the screenshots that you posted shows that the drivers you need are not correctly installing.

What steps have you taken in your attempts to get them to install?

It may require doing things that you dont want to do to get those deivers to install correctly. It could possibly even require resetting/restoring/re-installing your PC but that isn"t necessary in most cases.

But, we will start simple, I just need to know exactly what you have tried so far.

I don't think Samsung provides any firmware download option on it's device support page so you need to download it from websites like SAMMOBILE ,SamFirm or use Frija Tool.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The most you can describe what you did, the most others can help you, I think you picked up one and another driver from here and there trying to solve your issue but sometimes the more is less, personally, I would start from the scratch, erasing carefully what is not essential right now, for example older drivers for devices that actually you don't own.

And from a clean install probably you can try this https://androidadbdriver.com/acer-iconia-tab-a501-usb-drivers/, if you follow the procedure, this is the normal way to install.

Although that said, I'm not familiar with Acer Iconia devices, some sites are talking about an APX mode and that you can enter to fastboot you'd need a patched bootloader.

Here there are some tools from a similar model that also could work for your device http://flashromandroids.blogspot.com/2014/03/download-acer-iconia-a500-tools-by.html and http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2014/02/download-acer-a500-tools-pack-v10.html sometimes the tools provide the right drivers.

By downgrade I meant system apps reverting to an earlier version.
