Hey guys... My xolo q500 is bricked. It stucks at the logo and doesn't go further. I was trying to install cwm recovery. But cwm was not available for my device so i tried to flash cwm of some other device from the rom manager. It was of xolo q700.But now my phone niether boots up normally nor boots in the recovery menu. It stucks at the xolo logo. I googled but i found unbricking methods for mediatek devices via sp flash tools but my device is qualcomm based so that didn't worked. Please help me how can i unbrick my device? Is there any method to unbrick qualcomm based devices?

Does anyone know why Target, Amazon and the Ouya website stopped selling new ouyas?

Has the company gone under?
[Ouya General] brandogg:
Because no one buys them.
[Ouya General] wastate2014:
Has anyone looked at the price for a Ouya console lately at around $200.00 or more? CRAZY? With the 10 million from Alibaba we may just see that new Ouya? Every time I think its finally finished they always seem to have a surprise:)
[Ouya General] Sokudoningyou:
Yikes. I found mine about a month ago at a Target about twenty miles away; they literally had one left, sitting on the shelf, for $99. I only bought it to make it an XBMC server, which it's mostly done great at (my Pioneer receiver won't play audio if it's hooked into it, and my TV creates a loud burst of sound static pretty much every time something starts). Only problem is it updated immediately when I plugged it in, so as far as I understand, it's not easily rootable anymore.
[Ouya General] Fiery Beacon:
It's sad that the OUYA couldn't reach it's expectations. The promises they made on kickstarter sounded good, but they weren't able to fulfill them. They missed the chance from the beginning of the release.

So im a bit happy that i waited until the release. Sorry for those who backed the kickstarter project.
[Ouya General] toidimaet:
I preordered my ouya and tbh I was very happy with what I got. xbmc, emulators towefall bomb squad, my ouya served me like a champion. gave it to my nephew the other week and have a new android based TV box to carry on the fun.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastate2014:
After all the hype this past summer about Android TV powered by NVidia I spent the last half of 2014 keeping my eyes peeled for Android TV news. Then the release of the Nexus with atom/vr was a big disappointment! Now of all things Razer which I thought for sure would use NVidia goes for Qualcomm another disappointment! There is the upcoming Snail Games OBox which looks interesting but does not appear to be Android TV based? Am I the only one who would like a K1 or for that matter X1 powered box? Yes I admit I am a NVidia fan I can notice graphics that come from NVidia colors are different just personal choice.

Contrary to what most of you here enjoy(Mods, Sideloading, etc.) these things should be a choice not something that has to be done to make the system work for such things as storage for games? I currently own FireTV, Madcatz Mojo, Ouya, ADT1 and it seems to me that android still has a way to go before it truely is ready for the living room out of the box? The issue is difficult one player has HBO Go while the other can load apps and Kodi I have been searching for that box that can do all of this DAY 1 ? I am getting older and while I enjoy reading this forum and all the talent it contains I just don't have the energy to perform all these mods just to get what I consider to be that perfect box that just works when you plug it in:victory:?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arabold:
Very true. I'd consider myself an Android "enthusiast" and got the original Logitech Google TV and then the Sony Google TV. Big disappointments! The Nexus Player is great when compared to those two, but I'm only using it for games right now. The Roku 3 is still superior in terms of media consumption - at least in my eyes.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilberry:
While I don`t disagree with you, you can wait forever for the latest hardware or UI. There will always be a better chip or box just around the corner and that next release of code is coming any day now. The way I look at it is we are at about gen 1-2 of these devices (I have had a couple already) with a few more to go. You can either sit on the sidelines for another 1-2 years or understand the limitations of what you are getting and play with it. Remember Android TV was released less than a year ago and has some growing up to do. The alternative is a stock Android OS, which requires customization.

I have the NP and think the specs are reasonable for the cost I paid. I could pay to play for all the google services, or tinker (as I have) and install Kodi and a bunch of other apps.

The only problem with your strategy is that in order to get a turn key solution with no tinkering, it will likely come from your friendly cable or IPTV provider with an additional subscription fee.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastate2014:
Your so right, Its a never ending cycle with new products all the time. It just seems in this case you either have a good OS with ahhhh...specs! , or great specs with terrible software (example: Madcatz Mojo). My worst habit is I shop by specs which gets expensive:silly:

I dont mind spending $$$ for a box but even then the market is bare save PS4 or Xbox....maybe Tivo? Looking forward to a true Android Game Console...Storage and all!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiamAtkins90:
I'm definitely keeping my eyes on the Obox!

If I have to wait, wait I shall. Lol!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfriend33:
Could someone please advise me here.

In terms of longevity of use, lowest cost to own, and performance.

I currently have a Amazon firetv stick. I have been on the fence about buying a game controller as it's $40.

I have seen many ADT-1s sell on eBay for less than $100 with a remote and game controller. It is my understanding that the memory on the adt1 is superior to the nexus player.

However I don't want to buy something that down the road won't be supported. My roku 2xd still works and gets updated. But once I used my firetv stick I was hooked on speed.

I prefer Google devices and love my Nexus 7 2013. It has lots of support too.

Bottom line, and sorry for taking over, but could someone advise me on if I'd be better buying a Nexus Player or adt-1. FYI I'm not a gamer and don't play them often. I prefer my NES and n64. In fact I'd probably love using n64/nes/snes/gbaoid on one of these android tv devices lol.

What's the best for long term stability?

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiamAtkins90:
In my opinion, you should get either of these 3:

Mad Catz Mojo Tegra 4

Kepler GPU

£120

Razor Forge TV Snapdragon 805

Adreno 420 GPU

£100

Snail Games Obox Tegra X1

Kepler GPU

£150

Other consoles like Amazon fire TV, Ouya all have outdated specs and you will get a lot better quality with what I mentioned above.

Look up each console and decide what you want.

I personally, want an Obox for the raw power of the X1 soc.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Thund3r:
I've picked up a second-hand Qtek T-Mobile 9100 MDA.

Device is working properly, but the reception is very bad.

Mostly of the time, there's no connection, and sometimes, one stripe appears.

Manual search for providers brings no result.

First i've tried with my T-Mobile NL Sim, and i've only had reception once.

Because i wanted to rule out the possiblity that T-Mobile was the problem, i first tried it at another spot (at my work, at home, and at my girlfriends palce)

The device was SIM locked, zo I unlocked it, and after that, i've tried my Vodafone NL Card. The Sim and CID lock succeeded, but i've still got problemens with the reception, and i was lucky if i even HAD a reception.

Then i've tried loading the 2.26 ROM on it, installation was succesfull, but still the same connection/reception problems.

Then i've loaded the Windows Mobile 6 Underground Edition to my 9100, and this didn't bring any succes, still a very bad reception.

Then i'v decided to concentrate on the Radio ROMs, iv'e tried these versions:

2.19.11

2.47.11

2.61.11

All of these didn't improve the quality of the reception.

I've read a trick with Aluminium foil? I've no doubt that it could improve the quality of the reception, but I think it will only be a couple %? Of could i be wrong? Or could it be a hardware problem?

Thnx in advance for your help :)

Bert, The Netherlands

I then installed the WM6 Underground editon.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] demontefixo:
I am impressed that your first post contains so much good and thoughtful information! Thank you!

I recently have had an issue, and this only occurs on CyanogenMod (11 & 12). Basically, I'll be using my phone normally, but I'll notice my signal will go from full bars to no service every 30 seconds or so, it seems. That interval is to give you an idea. This issue does not occur on any other ROM that I've used (Cataclysm, PA, Rastapop, Stock, so forth). I've tried adding my APN as a fix but didn't seem to do anything. Information:

Sprint MVNO (Ting), running barebones CM, no gapps.

I'd love to get this solved, if anyone has ever figured this out. I've searched on Google and have seen no resolution, but have seen other's with the issue.

CYANOGENMOD 12 for T310​

Here I present to you CM12 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8 inch T310.

Please take note that this is a very early release and there are stills many bugs. I most likely will not respond to any bug reports for now, so don't waste our time filling the thread with bugs reports. If you know how to fix a bug, then by all means, please share that info here in the thread.

I do not have time to work on this every day, so please be patient and do not ask for ETAs.

Attention T311 and T315 owners:

Currently I am only building for the T310. If I get it to a stable point, I MAY build for you guys. Please do not ask about that for now.

I do not guarantee that I can fix any of the remaining issues. I do not pretend to be an advanced developer and I do this in my spare time, so feel free to use my device tree and compile some builds on your own.

Lastly, this would not be possible without the efforts of [MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION]. All device specific source code is forked from his github.

Please do not fill the thread asking "is blah blah is working?" Download and test for yourself.

Major Component Status:

WiFi - Working

Bluetooth - Working

Sound - Working

Sensors - Most Working

[*]Camera - Partially Working

Videos - Working

Installation:

Ensure that have already are using the KitKat firmware. If not, download it from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin.

Ensure you have the latest version of your custom recovery.

Make a backup.

Perform a factory reset in recovery.

Flash the CM12 zip.

(Optional) Flash a Gapps (Google apps) package.

Reboot and Enjoy.

Be patient, the first boot takes about 3 minutes. Much longer if you flash a Gapps package (~10 min).

After installation, go to Settings -> Language & Input -> Current Keyboard and select the Hardware option.

This will allow the on-screen keyboard to display properly.
