[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parasthakur37:
You can link your obb's to your usb drive, for that you need a cheap usb-otg cable and a usb drive (4gb) or you can just get a usbotg (portable)

1. Connect that to your device and copy the Android folder which has the obb to the root of the usb drive

2. Then download XInternalSD from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd

3. Activate it in Xposed and reboot.

4. After that open XinternalSD and select the path to your usb drive, in my case it is /mnt/usbotg. You can find this in Es File Explorer easily.

5. Enable the games in XInternalSD that you wanna run, don't enable all apps, just enable the games that you wanna run, in my case - GTA San Andreas, FIFA 15, Asphalt 8 and NFS MOST WANTED.

6. Reboot and start the game.

I call this MHD (Mobile Hard Disk) ;)

Press thanks if I helped.

I already have an otg cable an and a pendrive I could use, but I would really prefer to use my SD Card. I found an app called Obb to SD which needs xposed but I don't have it installed. I don't want to install xposed framework yet since I haven't found a way to unbrick my tablet in case that it gives me a brick and I think it might cause a brick because of my x86 CPU. Thanks for your help anyway :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juandr0ide:
I no longer have the "Link2SD package invalid" problem :D. At first I thought it was because of my CPU, but it was because the patch wasn't working well (I wanted to try Link2SD plus before buying it). Thanks to all of you guys for helping me :)! Now I can finally play my games.

i think i already know to the answer to this but want your opinions on it today i decided to get a charging dock (suspected cheep one) came in a Sony box but the dock had no Sony logos noticed this after what happed. anyway it charged the phone up no problem but my daughter 3yr old put it on the dock again but the wrong way and now the phone wont turn on and has a constant flashing red LED when its plugged in the charger or pc. i tried the vol+ and power and vol- also and even the red button next to the sim card i even tried the Sony companion but since the pc cant see the phone plugged in the the Companion cant do its magic.

i know its probably fried but if any of you have had this issue or similar and got it to work i would love some advice
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
I had the same problem on my Z1c, it just began for different reasons. But still the same flashing light, no vibrations, no turning on nor recognition by pc companion. In the end the warranty service swapped the motherboard as it had lost communication with the battery somehow.

As I understand it, the motherboard thinks that the battery is completely empty and you keep plugging the charger in and out. That's where the flashing red light comes from and that's why you can't turn your phone on - the battery is "empty".

My main reason... I've never had a main stream phone. Even my g2 was the vz version so it was limited on acessories . finally, a main stream popular phone...that's great! Amazing camera, build quality..top notch. And finally...FINALLY! at least from every single hands on..it runs smooth! This is a first for Samsung.

So, I'm excited

Suppose it was always a bit of a ****ty phone though!

Well, I wont call it lost. It was stolen in the restaurant (more like a canteen) of my last place of work. I went in, had my breakfast, left the XDA II on the table whilst eating, got up after the meal, made for the lift up to my floor, remembered my error (as it felt like an 'arm' was missen), rode the lift back down straight to the restaurant, and no one had seen anything.

Sounds like after you made your choice something corrupted the recovery. Just use odin, then boot into download mode and flash your custom recovery again you should be ok. Then choose normal takes about a minute to update.

It is my understanding that the issue is Motorola being slow at releasing the source code for the kernel. However, Motorola finally released the source for the Lollipop 2014 Moto X at the end of February. I read somewhere, maybe here on XDA, that a couple of devs are going to build for the phone. But I don't know for certain if/when that would happen. Fingers crossed that we'll see some custom kernels eventually.

Alright guys I have a question. I am having issues returning to stock using the lg flash tool. Errors out everytime no matter what computer/what cable I used. I have the TOT file and I have extracted it and there is a recovery.bin. I was wondering if there was anyway to use this .bin file to restore the stock recovery? I can't find any info on this from my google searches.
[AT&T LG G3] tenebris:
Issue Resolved

I decided to do some more digging around and I found http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/D850/stock_partitions/10D by Team codefire. I downloaded the recovery.img for the D850. Flashed it using flashify. Once doing this, my phone reboot factory reset and now it is 100% stock. This was so much easier then actually setting up the lg flashtool
[AT&T LG G3] glenn4466:
20f Recovery Name

You used the 10d recovery image. Were you able to get OTAs after that? Also, with 10d, the name of the file is simply recovery.img. What is the name of the 20f recovery image and where is it?
[AT&T LG G3] tenebris:
The recovery name should be still recovery.img even for the 20f update. To answer your question about OTAs, yes I was able to take them.

You can find the files for 20F here. http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/D850/stock_partitions/20F

The recovery might be in the Stock zip file, though I am not 100% sure.

Not There

Unfortunately, in the stock zip file there is only a system.img and a boot.img.

Most of the time, when having problems unlocking, you need to go back to stock rom of the device. Then if the problem still exists, you most likely have the wrong unlock code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucanisi.4m:
Hi guys,

I have an MT6582 device and I read in these days that Doogee has finally released a version for his DG700 with MT6582

I was wondering if it is possible to port it for my device (Axgio NEON N1) simply following the guides or Android 5 requires something different..

Do I risk to brick my phone or you think that I can try to do something?

Thank you very much :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
Yes it is possible.

Just use the boot.img and system.img files. Do not use any other files from Doogee DG700 ROM.

You may have to edit the boot.img to change the partition table (rmdisk/fstab.mt6582) to match your phone's.

To avoid bricking : Do not touch preloader of your phone. Make a backup of your phone's ROM using MTK Droid tools. Use only boot.img and system.img from Doogee ROM.

Doogee DG700 also has hotknot feature which is not available on all the phones. so you may want to remove the related files, libs and programs. For this you will also have to change the SystemUI.apk

I tried this ROM on my phone, and I could not get sound on speaker even after changing the audio libs. Sound comes only through earphone. Otherwise everything works well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucanisi.4m:
Thank you so much for your answer! I will try in a few hours and I will post the result here :D

You think that I can take the partition table part from my stock boot.img?

However I will do some tests with your very useful infos!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucanisi.4m:
Ok, I just tried to do something like you told me but I think it's not enough.. It doesn't boot, I waited for 15 mins and nothing came up!

Do you have some ideas about it? Now I'm back to my system with the backup ^^

Thank you so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
Did you use your own phone's scatter file or the Doogee scatter file? You should use your own phone's scatter file.

Android Lollipop encrypts the userdata partition, so on the first boot it takes 10-20 minutes (longer of your data partition has larger size). On my 8GB ROM phone, it takes 10 minutes before the Android Welcome screen is displayed. To make things a little faster, you should wipe the userdata and cache partition (factory reset) before trying lollipop. If you are not getting boot loop, and the logo is being shown, then wait a little longer before taking the battery out and giving up.

On my Karbonn Titanium S6 (MT6582) I have tried these Lollipop ROMs:

1. Doogee DG700 (works perfect but no sound)

2. Xolo One (works but no sound and screen problem)

3. Xolo 610S (boot loop)

4. Micromax Unite 2 (boot loop)

You should try and find the one that works and then customize it to your phone. I have adopted Doogee ROM to work with my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucanisi.4m:
I tried with Doogee scatter file the first time, now I already tried with my own phone's scatter file and I also wiped userdata/cache partition but after 20mins no logo is shown, but only the grey background with black corner.

Now i'm downloading Xolo One files to try with them.

Already, thank you so much for your help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
There are many reasons. Android kernel inside boot.img could not be compatible with your device. The ROM could have incompatible files in the /system/framework/ folder. The dalvik cache could be obsolete and needs clearing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
Ok so as per your guys readings.

I am having 6592 device.

First of all boot.img zimage is in no relation to booting.

All it takes is ramdisk

To boot properly it takes editing ramdisk.

Once u edit it properly next step is to test it out.

Only you need boot upto welcome screen rest logcat will do the job.

Use port ROM's ramdisk and ur zimage and make necessary changes according to your device.

Next is using a supportable recovery to flash. Prefer twrp 2.8.5

There are many factors as per Lollipop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxisMan:
