Hi to all,

After years using several Android devices, with different architectures, custom recoveries, ROM mods, etc. I have this conclusion: More and more, new devices have good firmwares, but you need ROOT access (for use Xposed framework, for example), and obtaining root access is more difficult. With the evolution of the Android platform, each time the rooting of the device is more complex. Mainly, at time, the use of exploits has low success in new releases. Moreover, the locked bootloader is another added trouble. So the only solution for rooting is going in the way for a custom recovery. However, the development of a custom recovery isn't easy. In some platforms (mainly Mediatek) it's possible to generate a "port" using a recovery from another device using the same platform, but this is not universal for all platforms. Tipically, for a custom recovery you need the source code from the manufacturer of the device, and a experienced developer for porting and compile the recovery. So, for several devices this is a long way!

So, here is my proporsal: Why not create minimal custom recoveries only for rooting? The idea of these recoveries are:

- Not for flashing, only runnable using "fastboot boot recovery.img". So they are safe for test them!

- Without irrelevant drivers: screen, touch, etc... only USB and ADB access. You connect the device to a computer over USB and you have the pure shell to execute anything that you need.

- With scripts for autodetection of internal partitions, because not all devices has identical partitions. This includes save checks before mount partitions in r/w mode.

- Each recovery is for a generic "platform", not for a "device". Example: MT6582, MSM8916, RK3066, Exynos5422, etc.

What you thing about this idea? :confused:
[General Topics] manos78:
Hi,

The idea is very similar to: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

But with the target of other platforms: MTK, Qualcomm,etc.

Some developers interested on this?
[General Topics] manos78:
Hi,

No one thinks that this can be a good idea? No comments? :eek:
[General Topics] manos78:
When more and more devices will come with kernels not exploitable, and no sources are available for compile the kernel, this will be the only solution for rooting. I hope some experienced developers will consider this idea... without it, in the next months several devices will can't be rootable.

:crying::crying::crying:
[General Topics] androidferret:
This was an awsome idea, and too bad this hasn't happened so far. I'm here trying to root a local brand (SPC Spain) tablet and it seems no one here wants to help or knows how to. I can't believe the Android rooting/modding community is completely disregarding the millions and millions of people who purchase local brand or generic tablets. If you can please do this project, there are millions of such devices out there and increasingly more and more.
[General Topics] manos78:
Yes,

We need to go in the direction of generic custom recoveries for rooting. Futhermore, generic tools for unlocking the bootloader (or custom signed kernels) is the only way for next generation of Android devices.

Hi guys,

could someone make a backup of the original rom for inew i4000s and share it?

it would be very useful because it doesn't exist in whole internet and the company has a very bad support.

I found a similar version but it is for i4000+ and the camera doesn't work fine.

For who needs to start the phone, here you can find the rom :

Hello There, I Already Own Three Xperia And Now Willing To Buy Z Ultra Coz The Price Here Now Is 250$. So My Question Is It Really Worth Getting Coz Its Knida Old Now And Some Of My Question Are:-

1. Is Camera Really Dull? According To Many Users They Say Camera Is Very Poor The Image Contains Very Much Noise. I Know It Doesnt Have Flash Bt m Asking About Camera Performance I Really Dont Use Much Flash

2. Battery Life- How Much On Screen Time U Get When Fully Charged?

3. Screen- I Heard The Device Screen Cracks Easily Even When Its In Pocket.

4. Custom Roms - Are Good And Stable ROMS Available For This Device?

Please Help Me Out I Am Looking Forward To Getting It.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] copy2050:
HI, forget the age of launch of this phone, he can compete with the actual flashgrips easy so...age are nothing!! I have this phone and i have to say: old or not, im in love with it every day i use it!

And reply to your answers:

1. This is not a camera phone, so, for pictures in low light is very poor yes but in outside with sun and etc is a good camera, and have infinite apps for camera will optimize the quality, not to complain about (my experience).

2. Battery life if you understand what to do nicely you get 2/3 days of it, but if you root it, get clock down of processor for day use not too much of game, you get +5 days on it! (i have!!)

3. Screen is the most perfect thing on this smartphone, is gorgerous, if you take a glass screen protector on front and back and carry it only in your jacket pocket on a bag it doesnt brick or crack...only crack if you carry on your jeans! (i already have advertise some users about that. USE ONLY IN JACKET OR IN BAG!)

4. Custom ROM's im not too much inside that world because the stock rom is perfect to me, i did some customization only in visual, after root removed some apps to not drain battery with non useful apps and is OK for me: 41260 on ANTUTU!

if you have more questions im here to reply them! No doubt you dont find better phone for 250/270$ than that! really...i paid 275€ for mine 2 months ago and is a very bad as$ phone! ;)

Thanx Brotha For Reply You Cleared My Doubts But Does Its Screen Cracks Easily? Coz Many Times I Phone Slips From My Hand I Already Have Xperia Z And After Many Falls Its Still Working Like Charm.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] copy2050:
if you drop it into the ground as far as i know depending of the size of fall it can survive or it can brick the screen...all depends of luck!

Its more easy to brick if they fall because is a bigger phone...you have to carrying it with more precaution.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laboratik:
Hi,

Dropping my phone was the worst thing that could happen with my phone.

I found someone who would do the screen replacement and after nearly two months he finally returned the phone two me.

At first glance it seemed ok but closer inspection have shown me that:

- the panel used was JDI instead of LGD so a japanese panel instead of the 'original' LG

- serious screen bleed contouring the whole screen

- highlights on the screen, points in the screen where I can clearly see the backlight being brighter than everywhere else

- luminosity is lower than the original.

The last two points are very annoying. I compared my phone with a phone displayed in a shop and I see that the screen on the shop's phone is brighter that mine, even without adaptive brightness and @ 100% luminosity.

Could this be due to different panel manufacturer (JDI instead of LGD)?

The screen bleed could be due to the screen being badly glued but I am not sure...

But the bright speckels are annoying also. In bright areas this is very much noticable, a white picture shows two small areas brighter which indicates to me that the back of the panel has something behind that 'pushes', hard to explain.

Anybody had similar issues or had his screen repaired?

You can see my issues in the attached screenshots...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottdanpor:
I don't think your issues is the panel type, i replaced mine and got a JDI from eBay. I don't notice any difference from my old one, which was not JDI. I would say you just got a poor screen. Not the fault of the installer either, i would try to get hold of the screen seller, or just accept the loss and replace it again.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laboratik:
I can agree that the panel type is not the culprit but the screen bleed is definitely the installers fault.

I am not very happy replacing it again as the total cost would mean that I could have bought a new phone for the same price...

My feeling is that the seller of the screen has delivered a used screen and damaged the silver back of the panel by removing it from the old device (the bright highlights could be from a prying tool used while recuperating the screen.). Too bad , lesson learned = do not drop the phone as the screen shatters very easily and when repairing, find a reliable repairsman...

Accept the loss seems to be the only option in this case...

Maybe I will have to disassemble/assemble the phone myself and do with with extra love and care and sense of detail....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottdanpor:
Since the digitizer comes glued to the glass I'm more inclined to blame the screen/seller than the installer. But you know the saying... "If you want it done right...". All the best on getting it sorted and working properly.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
What does the option "Allow OEM unlocking" of Lollipop 5.1 do actually?
[Micromax Canvas A1] littleromeo:
Usually in unlocked phones, bootloader can be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock" command from platform tools. Android 5.1 in android one devices has a new security option in that, the above command works only when "Allow OEM unlocking" is enabled in developer tools. It's an added protection feature in case you lose your phone, the thief may unlock the phone and flash a new rom bypassing your pin/pattern lock.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
The option is not turning on in my android one (Micromax canvas A1)
[Micromax Canvas A1] littleromeo:
May be your bootloader is unlocked right now.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
Nope. My bootloader was locked. Just now I tried to unlock the bootloader ignoring that option & I became successful... :):)
[Micromax Canvas A1] Deepakx263:
Yep same for me.I tried to unlock with this allow OEM unlock off and it unlocked without problem, so I guess it doesn't work for our phones.
[Micromax Canvas A1] littleromeo:
Do you have Secured lock screen (PIN, pattern, or password)?

It's useless if you don't have any of these setup.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Deepakx263:
I have a password setup on my phone.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Kunalandroid:
I have a Micromax Canvas a1 and when I try to enable this option ..... Then a warning message appears saying that "Device Protection features will not work while this feature is turned on" Then there are two option buttons "Cancel" and "Enable" When I press enable it turns on for a second and turns of itself

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
What are the odds. I'd say it's a dead cert. I'd say the z2 will also be updated to the android version that launches with the new nexus in October too.

Z2 has a way to go before support ends.

Z will end on 5.0.2, Z1 may get 5.1 but that's in the lap of the gods!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ame123:
Let them first rollout the 5.0.2 update. Apart from 2-3 regions everybody is waiting.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarianoQT:
What regions were already updated? Which is the upgrade with fewer errors?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] statickiwi:
At this rate I would like to see them surprise us with a rollout straight to 5.1 if that is possible.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesterr:
I honestly think all the Z series will be updated to 5.1 but if nexus 4 won't see the next version most likely Z won't receive the update but whole Z1 to Z3 will receive it.

Hi guys, I recently purchased an XTreamer Prodigy 4K.

This is a new media player based on the MStar9180 SoC.

The original firmware that came with the device was pre-rooted but this was obviously a mistake as the new firmware released for it (5.3.13) has "fixed" the system permissions.

I would like to determine a means to root the device and was hoping someone could provide me with some tips.
