Custom Recovery

Please have a read through the information in this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/

Flashing a custom recovery on the L2 is a simple process.

Things Required for this process:

Rooted Phone - (Please see the post on Rooting)

Mobile Uncle Tools APK

Recovery Image

First you have to allow the phone to install apps that dont come from Google Play Store.To do so,follow the guide :

1.Settings Menu

2.Security

3.Enable(tick) Unknown sources

4.Untick Verify apps

You can always reset these back to how you found them when you are done.

Download Mobile Uncle Tools

Mega Link: http://goo.gl/IkyVDo

or

MediaFire Link : http://goo.gl/c5q6Jh

Copy APK file to your SD card,use your file manager to install it.

Run Mobile uncle tools,allow root permissions when menu pops up.

You can close the app for now.Next thing we need is the actual recovery file itself.I've attached the recovery i find works best

Carliv Touch Recovery v2.2 - MTK CWM-based v 6.0.4.4

Download Recovery.img file

Mega Link: http://goo.gl/1f8OwX

or

MediaFire Link :http://goo.gl/U1D2Zu

MD5 :9f770b95df8e1beabd7417fc112190bc

Once the file has downloaded,copy to the root of your SD Card.

Open Mobile Uncle Tools and Select "Recovery Update".

Be sure to Select the downloaded recovery image,not anything else.

Select the file and proceed with installation.Mobile uncle tools will then prompt you to reboot into recovery if the update was successful.Select Yes and the phone will reboot into the new recovery menu

If the phone wont boot,power down,then hold up key and turn on to get into recovery mode.

1.Select Backup and Restore

Restore the backup you made earlier.

This should let the system load when you reboot again,even if it asks you to format the phone again.

ZTE

ztedevices.com/search.html?keyword=blade l2 look on there for the firmware for your device , push via adb sideloading and you should be set
[Blade General] eochi18jhae:
noob problem...

guys, can you please help me...I also have the same problem when I flashed the kitkat rom...my blade l2 now can't read my simcard...what should I do?...
[Blade General] Andalitez:
No Sim Detected

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.

So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)

http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html

Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:

1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.

2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)

3.Open "etc" folder

4.Open Firmware folder

5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)

6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR

7.Open System folder

8.Open "etc" folder

9.Open Firmware folder

10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)

11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to

12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card

I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.

I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.

latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in

FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know :)
[Blade General] eochi18jhae:
problem solved...

Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...

[Blade General] Funtast:
Thanks

The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!

Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?

Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...

I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks :)

Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!

PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?

PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions... :rolleyes:

If you search on Kindle Fire HD otg, you'll find a few threads on this.... And they all indicate there's no otg support as of now. Here is the most indepth thread I could find,

[XDA Assist] lyf1623:
Thanks for the reply. But on the thread they only talked about the kernel not supporting then otg and power issues. My only problem is that the verdict indicates that otg support is a no. The android api and the kernel supports otg hosting.

Ok guys, im not sure if this is the right thread, but I have a sprint gs4 (SPH-L720) and I need to know some things about it before I root it and flash a different Rom. The last phone I rooted was an HTC evo 4g, so you can see that its been awhile since Ive done this lol. I am currently experimenting with using my gs4 as a wifi-only phone. I have NO phone service right now on my gs4. I want to know if my phone is a 9500 or 9505 and I want a ROM that has a boatload of new features, like call recording, wifi call/texting support, no bloatware, but I also do not want to lose any of the native features that stock 4.4 has. Can some kind person out there help me with my model number (i9500 or i9505?) so I wont brick my phone and give me a list of some awesome ROMs to choose from? sorry if this is the wrong thread, this is my first time on this forum. Thanks for the help guys.

I encrypted Z1 last night now I have constant problems with it. After being locked for 30 min or so, even 5 sometimes, it just won't wake up, stays black, and needs a hard reset.

I figure I cannot decrypt and have to... somehow, re-image it with a pure cm11? Or?

While on and running, is there a way to back up all apps so that when re-installed, I could just restore all apps and their settings? Multiple SSO etc, don't want to lose these settings.

[Android Apps and Games] MrLeeDev:
Hi all,

I would like to present my new app, which is called ETower.

ETower is a challenging game, which requires your speed computation ( in this case addition) skills.

In each level there are several blocks with an own value, and you need to use all blocks to create two towers with an equational value.

[IMG="in game screen"]https://lh3.ggpht.com/e9fzbaA5sMOjdNOKWeOOIbADfULG3a1NFB11ky0YCSeX7Y6XAN031PTzz8RExoX4W8X6=h310-rw[/IMG] [IMG="in game screen 2"]https://lh5.ggpht.com/mm86gAH6zjSTZqGmHmhIEvdQLFfK0dNni2zWoW-l83iuARrbIO3yxdGPV4TsaaSziC8=h310-rw[/IMG]

To download my app, you can search for 'ETower' in the Google Play Store.

Have fun and enjoy the game!:good:

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
For some reason, the phone is showing a large percentage of time with no signal in cell standby but I actually never lost signal - I wonder if this 'no signal' consumes more battery due to dynamic tuning etc. Most certainly a software bug with the Moto radio image or rom issue.

Anyone else experience this? See the screen shots. LTE signal is not great at home but I never actually lose signal fully.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judge584:
Exactly the same for me. I still get about 3.5 Sot per day ( 16 hours off charger) but yes this is strange and looks like a bug. Strangely while it does report large off signal percentage I find network reception to be to notch on this phone, I mean I'm never able to feel that network connection has been lost, so I wonder if this is a false positive error.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gizmobug:
I tried the one from MS's site and it failed on install. Somewhere I thought that WM6 was already ready for this...but I could be wrong.

Just found a page on MS's site about WM6 and I quote:

Q. Does Microsoft’s recently released Windows Mobile 6 platform require this update?

A. No. It does not require an update.

The page is here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/daylightdownload.mspx and the question is the very last one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cushcalc:
Did this cab actually work for anyone?

I first tried to install the official Microsoft cab that they were nice enough to notify me about, but it wouldn't even install.

Then I installed DST2007.cab - it installed fine.

However, Sunday I woke and eagerly checked my 8125, and NO CHANGE HAD OCCURRED.

So I set the time manually, and then my alarms were all off.

Did this cab work for anyone?

Edit: Just went to edgeblog, and found this post: "Once you apply the patch, you must manually change your timezone to something else and click apply. After that, change it back to your correct time zone. This forces the phone to re-read the registry file. I tested this on my Blackjack and it worked perfect. The phone changed the time correctly at 03/11/2007 2:00AM to 3:00AM and gave me a dialog box telling me it had adjusted for DST."

So, I have re-installed the cab and done the above, and soft-reset, and now when I do SP TimeSync I don't have the hour difference anymore that I was getting.

Moral of the story: Not just read the posts, but follow the links and read, rinse and repeat.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bam099:
I'm installing this now, I hope it helps because this was exactly what I was looking for. After DST my entire phone has been messed up. All appointments are starting an hour later and ending an hour later....but the best....really lovely part is that my alarm goes off an hour early. The fact that my phone has made it through angry mornings for a week is a miracle. I hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolodo:
Hello everyone, I would like to ask your advice on this difficult topic for me:

I need to keep in sync a directory of windows 7 with a directory inside the tablet (in microsd) through a classic USB connection.

The tablet it's a samsung P3110. As you know from ics android devices are recognized with mtp protocol. I can not find an application for windows 7 that will allow me to synchronize the directory of PC with that of the tablet. Because the programs that I find enable only synchronization between directory inside the pc or devices msc.

Therefore my questions are :

-You know a program that allows a sync folders between PC and device mtp

-Alternatively I would like to know if after the root is possible transform the P3110 from mtp to msc, if it's possible which one app i must use?!

Other solutions of sync with the cloud or DLNA do not interest me.

I have the same issues. Have tried developer 604 version and didn't like it. I can't revert back no matter what I do.

TWRP doesn't work at all. Freezes and the phone restarts.

Also I can't root it anymore (V-root or Root genius).

Finally same with my Internal Storage Problem thread. I found TUT how to revert my phone back to L10. Now, I thinking again to put it back into EMUI 3.0. UI 3.0 is really nice with 99% rooted. :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
Browsing some of the Chinese sites, I get the impression that the stock recoveries are different. I think a CM custom recovery is available but it will probably be in Chines.

I think the best option for those wanting to revert would be to flash the original stock recovery, do a full force install (dload) of a stock ROM, then flash TWRP and restore your last ROM prior to the upgrade.

Perhaps others can suggest an easier alternative?
