Bmorn V11, Goclever A73, Eken T02, Aldi Minitab, MyAudio Tablet Series 7, ASK 748SP at the very least look the same and are probably the same tablet. So much so that I ordered a Bmorn touchscreen for my ASk tablet and it worked. ...until I factory reset it from settings a few weeks ago, since then it started freezing up ocasionally and now I get stuck at one of the 3 boot logos but I never see it boot all the way. I hope it's not hardware failing.

I found a button behind the microphone pin-hole after trying vol + and power + home and the like for hours. Can someone please tell me how I get into what i presume is called recovery mode ? I tried pushing that hidden button with the power button, but it doesn't work. Is there even a recovery mode for this device ?

Someone claims there is no recovery mode and vol + and power should work ? So what's the deal with the button behind the mic hole ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406429 "The device was strangely rooted when I bought it from the retailer. The instruction manual strangely says to boot into recovery mode by holding Vol + and the power button. I called the support company and they said that a recovery needs to be installed first. Using Root Explorer there is no recovery folder. (/recovery) - is there supposed to be?"

I'm on linux, do I really need windows to flash this ? If I fail, can I try again ? I used to get along computers really well, but android is currently totally confusing me. I found several images that might work, but I really don't mind trying out unofficial images. If I can try them one by one I'll figure it out eventually, but I'm afraid I might brick it or something. I've read about flashing bootable SD cards, but I guess that won't work here ? Nor will the images that are supposed to be flashed to an SD card work ?

I guess I'll have to bet on an image and find a Windows (I'm on Linux) machine and the rest is trial and error ?

Is there a page somewhere I could read to figure out the basics ? I feel really confused by all of this. Thank you !

I also found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23769918&postcount=3 which explains how to flash this, but maybe i don't need to go through that if there is a recovery mode ? And it also seems like those instructions are for t01, and it doesn't involve that hidden button at all. I guess this isn't what i need, right ?

I guess this should work:"Turn off your tablet.

You will find upgrade button located in microphone hole on the right side of your device. Press this button using e.g. paper clip. Next connect your device to your PC while

holding upgrade button" (http://www.goclever.com/data/upload..._d4d0bde076ab401d6cb98bb1b77713165b6ffb11.pdf).

I can't turn off my tablet. All I can do is force it to quit by holding the power button for 5 seconds, is that enough ?

I managed to get adb and although lsusb lists the device, I can't connect to it with adb. After a minute or two lsusb doesn't show the device anymore either. Do I need to have debugging enabled or something ? I was hoping to reset it with

[HTC Inspire 4G] grant8010:
I upgraded my CWM and then loaded a new Rom to my phone. During the install I had. An issue and the phone rebooted. It will not get past the boot logo. I restarted into recovery but when it loads it just reboots. It doesn't allow me to reinstall a Rom. Can I just reinstall CWM recovery to my sd and would it boot into recovery k like normal?
[HTC Inspire 4G] grant8010:
I have backed up my Rom but recovery won't stay up for me to load the back up
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
Are you s-off?

Before upgrading cwm, I am assuming you could flash different roms.

Let me / us know what you have done so far and in what state you are now in.

Edit: I am quite rusty so I may not be able to help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grant8010:
Still unable to use the phone. Yes I was s off. Yeah I've been installing roms every week for years now. I saw a post about an upgrade cwm recovery and updated. I booted into recovery like normal and installed a Rom. The install went bad and The phone gets stuck on the HTC splash screen. When I boot into recovery it opens for just a second and then the phone just reboots on itself. I Havnt been.able.to do anything to it. I'm not sure what to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 13lack13ox:
If you can access the bootloader still you can flash a new (your old working) recovery with fastboot can't you?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery FILE.IMG

replace FILE.IMG with your recovery image.

also you can extract your recovery image from your last working nandroid backup. it should be just recovery.img

The way it sounds is that your boot.img got messed up somehow. Maybe try just flashing the boot.img from that rom you last flashed? (the one that doesnt work) but I would just really go about flashing a working nandroid backup/ or recovery with fastboot.

You can restore from a backup with fastboot as well I'm pretty sure...

Anyways here's a link you should check out. https://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/NANDROID_Fastboot

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomba89:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install TWRP to my d802 for the first time (so from stock to TWRP).

Looking through the thread for TWRP 2.7.1 in the g2 development section I found that the app should be able to download and install the recovery for me, except it can't find info for lgd802

After some searching, I found the download link to manually install the recovery, but http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802 only has a .zip file for the latest recovery and the TWRP app won't install it unless it's an .img file.

So I'm having some trouble here. I really want to install this recovery, but I don' t know whether I'm missing a step, whether the server is just down, or whether it's always like this. It seems like if the app just worked it would be exceedingly simple.

Has anyone flashed this recently who might be able to advise me on a workaround?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
The app sucks, I wouldn't use it. It gave me nothing but problems.

I used flashify to flash the recovery to the phone. Extract the img file from the zip.

Im having issues with safestrap while trying to make a backup, it successfully completes the data portion of the backup but when it gets to the END of the system portion it fails... right around the point of check sum generation. All my settings in safestrap are set to default, i went as far as fully uninstalling safestrap and reinstalling a fresh copy... however i still get the same problem. All other functions of safestrap seem to be working properly. I have stock nc5, deknoxed, debloated (kk smartdebloat for sgs4) can anyone provide any suggestions to whats causing safestrap to fail while attempting to make a backup?

The app gets stuck on the "Initializing" screen on first run. This is with a Nexus 5 and a Galaxy S5 with two different Gmail accounts. Both devices have the same issues, even though TTS is enabled on both (US English).

But when I back out of the app and head back in, it goes into the Accounts Setup screen finally.

Hi,

Cool app!!.

Suggestion: How about a Tasker plugin to activate or deactivate reader via Tasker profiles or situations?.

Keep walking!, Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] raduzz:
Thanks for the idea. But AFAIK the Tasker developer needs to add support for the app. Anyway, I like the idea and will re-check.

EDIT

So I checked - it is possible, there is an open API, meaning this can be done. So, this is a hot candidate for a new feature for the nearest future. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kapetan_sifakas:
Great idea! What languages are supported?
[Android Apps and Games] raduzz:
Hi, the app's language is yet only English. The reading voice language depends on the Settings of your TTS (those are also accessible from the main menu of the app - TTS Settings).

Hi,

New to all of this so go easy on me !!!

I want to know if it is possible to change the Alarm tones and Text tones (other than those supplied on it) .... ie. for adding new ring tones I have just put them in /windows/rings ... however, when I look for the alarm/text tones they sit in /windows .... whenever I put anything in there it does not get recognised in the settings under 'notifications' etc.

Make sense !?!?!?!? Anyone help ?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iAlec:
Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find anything on the subject.

I just got my Kindle Fire (1st gen) today and was toying around with it. It was connected to my wifi and then without prompting me shut off and began updating. I knew that there was no root for it so I turned the kindle off by holding the power button while it was updating. Is there any way for me to disable the update without powering it on the whole way?

It currently has 6.3.2 and I don't want to update to 6.3.3

I am aware that you can root 6.3.3 but from my understanding it requires a factory cable which I currently do not have.

Thank you

Update: I did some more digging and saw that it could be rooted but could not install a custom recovery without a factory cable. My apologies.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
I would never shut off any operating system in the middle of an update. It is trouble. I wish you the best, but I think you should be purchasing a factory cable.

Not sure what will happen when you power back on.
