ES File Explorer , couldn't find TV in Networks

Port 8090 detected, 8060 and 5555 seems not available

L42E5690UDS ANDROID 4.2 essentially E5690 42" version

Ok Guys , I got simple solution, sharing for benefit of others too

1) This solution is applicable for those who have "TV GUARD" app installed on their TCL TVs, I have its version 2.0

Thanks to hdpfans.com and google translator

2) Additional Requirement: SD Card (I used 32 GB, FAT32)

3) You need to create folder "TVManager" and then its subfolder "backup"

4) Download your APKs through your PC, and then copy them to "backup" folder

5) Now Put your SD card in TV, Better TV is OFF at this stage

6) Now run TV GUARD Software, then choose "Software Manager"

7) Goto to "Recover" Option

Thats it, you can see all your APKs on SD Card with Install Option.

Initially these will be installed on SD CARD, then if you use MOVE option these can be transferred to TV memory

I Tried King root, Rooted the TV, but Package installer and Play store was hanging, Though I am happy what have been achieved. I also tried downloading APK and moving to backup folder on TV (after above installation) that worked, I didnt had to resort to PC next time

Good Luck

Hi everyone, I hope you guys can get me a hand with this issue.

My Moto G, is briked. Its with bootloader version 41.18 (Lollipop) and its imposible to downgrade it becouse I get this message

"(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)¨

But is only that command, all others commands to flash the phone work properly (but I dont have any clue why its imposible to make Lollipop works, and I cant make KitKat runs with an 41.18 bootloader)

At this time, I dont care any more upgrade to Lollipop, I just want my phone back :crying:

Please help.

Thanks for you time.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankushv:
unlock phone

preflash validation fail happens due to the locked bootloader . Either unlock bootloader to skip boot flash validation checks or flash stock factory image without unlockingbootloader in recovery mode . Standard recovery and factory firmware image .
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasond567:
I had this problem, I eventually took it back to the point of purchase after trying EVERYTHING! Have you tried flashing stock ROM ignoring the preflash validation error?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layman806:
You would have executed the following command when trying to downgrade to KitKat:

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

It should not be done. Nevertheless, try installing paranoid android via a custom recovery.

fastboot flash recovery cwm-*.img
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Once you are on 41.18 bootloader, you cannot flash an older motoboot.img over the existing image.

Even with a Lollipop bootloader, you can flash all images and the phone should boot.

I have an xt1032 and flash stock 4.4.4 Retail US with no problem.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
My bootloader is unlocked ("Status Code: 3"), but I cant flash the 41.13 bootloader, neverthles, I can re-flash the 41.18 without problem.

Yes, if I flash my Stock ROM (Retail LATAM) it's never pass the "Warning Bootloader", just keep there until I turn it off. If I flash an 5.0.2 Rom, when I start the phone, takes me back to the bootloader with "Boot up failed" message
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
The problem is that I cant flash any recovery, I try CWM and TWRP. Always gives me an errero when I try too boot in to Recovery Mode.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Are you flashing the correct recovery? Try the latest Philz for your model of phone. The xt1032 is also known as falcon.

What errors are you getting when trying to flash recovery in fastboot?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
Yep, I try installing Lollipop firmwares with "fastboot flash ......" but no one work :confused:

I have an XT1040, and there isnt an official 5.0.2 for this version of Moto G, but it should works, no?

You were right! I was flashing a wrong recovery, I have XT1040 and for this one the name is "Peregrine", I already installed CWM and TWRP (both works, but no one read the SD Card)

I found an NIGHTLESS CyanogenMOD 12 for XT1040 but when I try to install it. I get this message (installing de *.zip with TWRP and CWM):

E: Unable to mount "/data"
E: Unable to mount "/cache"
E: Unable to mount "/system"
E: Unable to mount internal storage

Any ideas? :crying:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layman806:
First, format /data/media

Then, /system

Then, /cache

Then, try to install the ROM.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Are you running GPE version of Lollipop on your xt1040? If you are, you may need to re-install stock 4.4.4, including flashing gpt.bin because the partition sizes may be slightly different between stock Lollipop and GPE Lollipop.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
I'll try, but, where I should do that? I'm kind of lost with all this.

No, I dont install the GPE in the XT1040. Maybe could be what are you saying. Yesterday, I cant remember what I was trying to install and in fastboot, while I was flashing, said "Image is too large", but in de DOS windows on PC, it says "OK"

The issue is that I cant do a downgrade of gpt and de motoboot.

So, I should install 4.4.4 KitKat, (without flashing those 2 files) and try with the recovery installing CyanogenMOD 12? Or CMod12 not uses 41.18 bootloader?

Edit: I think that I cant install KitKat, bootloader gives me "Image is too large", the DOS windows says "OK", but Im thinking that really its not OK.

I install """succesfully""" an 5.0.2 Retail of Brazil, but for the XT1033 version. Really, I dont know if is GPE, but I was able to install all the files and the fastboot dont showme the "Image is to large" message.

Edit2: Withi is command in Terminal of TWRP

When I try to install the CyanogenMOD's zip, says "Unable to mount /system". So I think I fix the problem with /data. But if I'm right, now what? :eek:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Since your bootloader is unlocked and you never flashed a GPE ROM, go back to the start.

If you want to install a custom ROM, flash the recovery for your phone. If you get an error message in fastboot, write it down and post it here.

If you want to flash back to a stock ROM, are you flashing every partition except motoboot.img? Are you erasing cache and userdata at the end?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
I cant flash any stock ROM for my phone yet becouse, stocks ROMs are until 4.4.4 KitKat using bootloader 41.13. and y cant downgrade my 41.18 bootloader

I am trying to instal CyanogenMOD 12 from my recovery (CWM and TWRP works properly) but I get this message

"E: Unable tu mount /system"

Here is a photo of the error

http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1201/n9u9Jy.jpg

Edit: I try "fastboot erase system" and "fastboot format system"... Both are done succesfuly, but I stil geting the same error. (Also, I cant mount /storage/sdcard1)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Where did you get the Lollipop bootloader?

Did you try to use fastboot or mfastboot to flash a stock ROM. I have an xt1032 with 41.18 and I can flash stock 4.4.4 ROM.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
I get it when I flash with fastboot an firmware from Brasil wich have 5.0.2.

I will try installing the firmware you have, could you paste me a link please? Is with Recovery installation or with fastboot?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You need to download the stock 4.4.4 firmware for your phone and follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/restore-to-kitkat-lollipop-moto-g-t3011553

Did you install the right recovery? Try using Philz for the peregrine to install custom ROM: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/recovery-unofficial-philz-touch-t2827332
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyurcic95:
I followed the first guide and in the DOS window where you put the commands "fastboot flash...." everything goes "OK", but in the phone, the fastboot says "Image is to large" when is going to flash the "system" :confused: so Im thinking that its not flashing really

After reboots, the phones dont go further than "Warning Bootloader Unlocked"

I installed Philz for Peregrine, I try to install 2 customs ROMs differetns for XT1040 and I get

Opening update package...
Installing update...

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After flashing the gpt.bin file, type fastboot reboot-bootloader and continue flashing. Maybe this will help.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballbag69:
Hello, i've just got a couple questions about Android itself and a device I recently bought.

Today I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for the sole purpose of using it for study, I also bought a case/keyboard it. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A. I'm wondering if there's a way for the two devices to "talk" together at all. I am also wondering on the tablet how to get rid of the "Quick Connect" option which is next to "S Finder" in the pull down menu from the top of the screen. I'm still somewhat new to Android, so any general tips would be great too. I've removed some bloatware from both of my android devices themselves, such as all of the Samsung pre-installed software.

Also any recommended apps too would be great and also some tips on how to use my tablet and get the most out of it. I've been a desktop computer person my whole life and I've built a few too, I just felt like a new change and I want to make the most out of it. I apologise if this is the wrong area to post in, it's just I have no idea where to ask for help.

Thanks.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xdawol:
As a new O2 xda exec user, I thought I should play safe and upgrade to latest ROM etc on the O2 web site. After a couple of false starts and after checking the excellent wiki advice, I got the thing to run through and complete the upgrade.

But on doing the final hard reset, I find myself with a completely garbled screen instead of the O2 splash screen. After a couple of seconds the 3 lines of text appear on the screen (the R, G and D numbers) but against the background 'snow' I can't read them. No response to keyboard or to 'random' pressing the screen. The screen eventually turns off after a few minutes but when switched back on remains with the same garbled screen as before.

Tried going through the whole process again but sadly got the same result.

Tried going into bootloader and doing a soft reset (as advised one of the many upgrade problem threads I've checked) but that also took me to the same garbled screen.

Can anyone help me out with this? I can't find anything quite like this on the Wiki or in any recent threads.

Should I try an alternative ROM? Stupid question, but is a Jasjar ROM OK on an O2 exec?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xdawol:
Hi - just thought I'd save people any wasted effort. This problem is now sorted.

It seems the O2 web site had linked to an out of date ROM which I downloaded and installed in blissful ignorance. Went back to the web site and found the link is now updated and gives the correct ROM version. This loaded and started up with no problems.

In case anyone reads this - although I didn't get any direct responses from the community I would still like to say a big thanks cos the Wiki and the responses to other threads are a real help. You guys have put a lot of effort into this and created a resource which is invaluable.

Top bananas!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dagen901:
I cant even sync with my pc anymore i dont know wat to do
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xdawol:
I'm no expert - as the screw up above amply demonstrates - but the failure to sync was one of the rage inducing steps I went thru too. Sometimes the PC would recognise the xda but other times it wouldn't. In my case, it was sorted by reading in another part of the forum how to get into bootloader mode by pressing the light and on/off button at the same time as using the stylus to press the soft reset. This should take you into boot loader - an apparently dead screen but if you look closely you should see 'Serial' at the top and 'v0.xx' at the bottom.

If you reconnect by USB cable to your PC the 'Serial' should change to 'USB' and in my case I was able to run the software on my PC to update the ROM.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but hope this works for you. Otherwise check out the Wiki section (wiki.xda-developers.com) which has lots of good tips.

My device is gt-p5113, not p5100. Will this work for me? I've been having a problem where I get an error message "Unfortunately, com.android.email has stopped" that comes up every few seconds, and factory reset didn't do anything. I'm hoping flashing the firmware will fix it but I've never done it before. That's why I only want to use a stock file rather than all these cool customisations, since I imagine it's more straight forward and I'm unlikely to brick the tablet. Will I have any problems installing this?
