Thats actually the guide I was following. Followed everything and started getting caught up at the RSD lite part. Tried all the provided solutions but phone still isn't found by RSD lite. Please help me get over that hump. Hoping it will be all down hill from there. Device manager is showing phone as "Motorola USB Device > Motorola Flash Interface" Not what your guide shows. Have tried updating drivers from manager but it claims I have the most up to date. Using Windows 8.1 dont know if thats relevant, Thanks for the help btw.
[Droid X General] lessthansavy:
OMG! I DID IT!!! Thanks for the help. After searching for an answer/fix for DAYS I figured it out. Your Guide is AWESOME and very helpful but the one thing it didn't mention which is what I did to make it all finally work was to download VMplayer and do everything in a Windows 7 OS. You might want to add that to your guide as a troubleshooting step. Otherwise, THANK YOU!!!

I saw a video of someone using kingroot on their verizon galaxy note 4 and they were rooted. That person was running kitkat when i tried it on my note 4 running lollipop nothing happened. Should i downgrade or wss the video fake. Is it possible to downgrade using a mac.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razor237:
Search is your Friend ....

As far as i Know it doesnt work on lollipop & only works for KitKat. it doesnt work for mine on Lollipop. Also its not a Perm Root, Root is lost upon reboot

Search the Form there is a bunch more info on it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx2.3.3:
Yup, only works on kitkat and it's temporary only.

The devs are working on a permanent solution. I personally have held off with trying king root because I don't trust it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madchainsawer:
I am downgrading and i am going to attempt kingroot because i wanna get rid of bloatware and i never turn my phone off unless i really need to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx2.3.3:
I believe there is a debloater that's been out for lollipop that doesn't need root.

I also think I've read that even if you don't reboot, over time or after messing with certain parts of the system, you'll lose root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexbian:
Debloater doesn't remove bloatware, only disables it.

Kingroot has been reported to cause random reboots, which is why I haven't tried it in spite of the fact that I rarely if ever reboot my phone either.

Also, something I've come to wonder... What good would deleting bloatware be if those no custom ROM with reworked partitions? We wouldn't be gaining any space from the ROM partition (where system apps are stored) But we can already delete all the updates for system apps (since they go in internal storage instead of overwriting the original app in ROM storage). At least this is the way I've come to understand it from using Titanium Backup on my old devices.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaha_wins:
I didn't think king root was actually rooting your main system rom? Thought that was why you had to use multisystem and from that point you would install the rooted kitkat rom, etc..

But if kingroot does root the factory system, then you could simply root with kingroot remove the bloatware then it wouldn't matter if you lost root after a reboot. Correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madchainsawer:
I am not sure but i am trying to downgrade my note 4 right now and i hope it doesnt brick

I was wondering if I went through this temp root path and modified my hosts file as well as using "SDFix: KitKat Writable SD" to give me write access to sd. Would they stay that way modified host file and write access if I hard rebooted and removed king root or SU after doing those things originally with root permissions?

Were you able to downgrade? Root and remove bloatware?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buhohitr:
You can downgrade to NJ5 4.4 rom and get temporary root with King root, if you're on OAF. However, if you took the OTA upgrade to OF1 or above, you cannot downgrade. You stuck with LL with no way to root.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycstech:
I dont think kingroot is root at all.

I dont understand the term "temporary root"

Even if its temporary, changes it makes to the system should be permanent yet they go back to normal. :confused:

I tried using system app uninstaller and it said "succeeded "

I tried to use AdAway and it said "successful"

I even opened up the system/hosts file to confirm the change was made, yet after reboot everything went back to stock.

Not only that, but kingroot comes with FULL SCREEN ads that pop when you exit application that requested root access, and they are annoying playing videos and eat up your data.

I think kingroot creates virtual root environment inside RAM. Changes made inside RAM do not apply to device storage. Nothing is changed to say the very least but allot of garbage and spyware is added.

Even after uninstalling the app, its service is left behind and you gotta remove thru "Settings/applications/All"

Smart Chinese should have put their knowledge into cracking the locked bootloader instead of creating fake trash like this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdapa:
I was playing with my buddy's note4 (sm-n910v) this evening and I used Kingroot's Purify app. After running it, I went through every option and it finally gave me a link to the Kingroot.net download (XDA's wouldn't parse for me).

I installed Kingroot and ran it... fail.

Rebooted

Ran Purify again, followed by Kingroot.... Root Successful!

Ran RootChecker..... haha... tripped the knox.... auto reboot. (Note to self... don't run RootChecker)

Ran Kingroot.... much faster root success this time!

Verified root by turning on the root explorer in ES File Explorer's options.... Root was asked for and granted.

Instead of removing the bloatware using ES File, I opted to give the Purify app another try in hope of getting root to stick.

That's when I came Purify's 'Debloater' app.... It started ok, so, I handed my buddy his phone and told him."Better get some while the getting is good!".... He had about 30 apps checked when I stopped him and suggested he make a back up before he does anymore!

Apps uninstalled successfully and my buddy rebooted (ok...I guess we're done).

After reboot.. root was gone but, so were the 30+ apps!

Long story short.... Getting root is possible... You just have to get root when you need it and be decisive in your actions.... Remember anything that trips the knox and try to avoid it!... Work Purify and Kingroot back and forth like a couple of wedges... I think I was close to getting root to stick permanently but, my buddy had to go home and he took all the toys with him :(

I guess the next step is getting rid of, disabling or re-configuring the knox.... So, please read up on the knox system change detect-o-matic before trying to uninstall it... Do it right and you'll be a champ!

But... if you automate it for everyone with a small program and you'll reach 'Hero' status for sure!

Oh yeah.... That Note4 was running Lollipop 5.1.0 (or 5.0.1?... I didn't pay much attention)

Hope that helps

<8^)

P.S. Sorry if I posted incorrectly ... I'll get it right one of these days!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RightHanded:
Hello.

Today my oneplus one was suddenly stuck in bootloop. This happened in the middle of the day when I rebooted my phone. My phone was running the latest update that came OTA (stock lollipop). Whenever I boot my phone it starts loading and suddenly a Chrome (browser) window appears for 1 second and tries to load a website. Afterwards my lock screen pop ups for 1 seconds and it starts to reboot. During the lockscreen I tried to unlock my phone as soon as possible, but it just reboots. (Any ideas about this weird problem?)

I CAN boot it in recovery mode by holding volume-down button and power button.

I CAN boot it in fastboot mode by holding volume-up button and power button.

Perhaps a factory reset will do the trick, but I don't have a backup of my files (because this happened so suddenly without me trying to flash/customize my phone). My first priority is recovering my files, because most solutions will end up in me losing every file. Unfortunately I've found little possibility to do this during the bootloop problem. I've tried to flash TWRP because it could make backups of my phone. I tried it through ADB/Fastboot, but it failed because my device is not unlocked (I can't go to settings and put my phone in developer mode and debugging mode). So I've read somewhere that unlocking my phone (bootloader?) through ADB will wipe my phone, which is exactly what I don't want.

Also I've tried this: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061

But It also failed because my device was not unlocked.

Did I miss some steps somewhere or did I read something wrong?

Hopefully anybody has an idea to either fix the bootloop without losing my data, or finding a way to recover my files before wiping the phone.

Thank you.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately you might be stuck in a catch-22 situation here. In order to access the files you'd need to unlock the bootloader, but in doing so you'd lose those files. Without usb debugging already enabled I can't see a way out of this.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RightHanded:
Decided to unlock the bootloader through ADB. (bye bye data)

After I've unlocked it, I've tried installing TWRP.

Some minor problems occured but I can finally boot into TWRP through volume-down button + power button.

I've decided to download the stock ROM i've found on the OPO forums.

Couldn't acces my phone through normal methods, so I had to use ADB to push the files into my phone.

Installing the file through TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik and installed super user before rebooting.

After rebooting my phone is stuck on the boot screen now. (This also happened before I installed TWRP on my phone)

I've also tried this method: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541

Also no succes. I'm stuck in the bootscreen where it says 'cyanogen'.

EDIT: Managed to fix it eventually through: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061 (part 2) writing the command in TWRP.

Phone finally boots normally again.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Exactly what did you flash? Full filename please. No errors occurred?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RightHanded:
Hopefully the stock cyanogen OS.

First I've tried to flash cyanogenmod 12 through TWRP (file is found here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm12s-yng1tas17l-installation-guide-review-change-log.304615/)

Afterwards I was still stuck in bootscreen, so I've looked for another solution.

Which made me find this guide: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541

After flashing this file (probably the same thing) the problem still remained.

Eventually after multiple wipes/factory resets (which did not solve the problem) I've entered the command in TWRP and after reboot it finally worked again.

So I basically flashed my phone twice, once through TWRPS and the other through the batch file (perhaps ADB?).

Also no errors occured which stopped the flashing and commands. Did have to reinstall TWRP and reboot instantly in it by holding the volume down button multiple times. This doesnt happen anymore though.

Only had to install google apps for CM12 (gapps), for which I used TWRP in recovery mode.

Currently reinstalling most apps on my phone and no problems yet.
[Amazon Fire Phone] heyjins:
Since the 4.6.1 update my phone is using a T-Mobile APN associated with tethering when I turn on the hotspot feature. As such my tethering gets blocked by T-Mobile, I didn't have this problem with the old version.

I have been searching around for the APN in some of the phones APN files, but haven't found it. Is it possible to modify the APN the phone is using for hotspot in 4.6.1?

Hi!

Thanks for your review :)

I have also bought the chuwi vi10 at aliexpress on the 18th may. Waiting to receive it, I'm looking for info about how to root it. It seems that kingo root could work with this processor...
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
[MENTION=1666102]jugo00[/MENTION] noproblem

i thought it would be nice to have a thread about this tablet.

can't wait to have it in my hands. :)) i have a 8" voyo a1 but it's just like nah its plastic and i don't know didn't like it maybe i will like it again with touchscreen lol. (broke my touchscreen by standing on it so ordered a new one it should come around the same time as the chuwi vi10)

the chuwi looks very nice in design and materials glass on both sides. etc. + android and 2 usb ports that made me buy it :) and the faster z3736F cpu.
[Windows 8 General] Hendrickson:
Kingo root or vroot should work fine, I'll be testing this on mine soon and will share the results.

[MENTION=3259959]reggiexp[/MENTION] $149 lucky! If I knew they were gong to have a sale I would have waited. I paid $176 usd and then 38 euros in taxes to get it a bit earlier for review. Ouch! :(
[Windows 8 General] ShadyGuard:
Hi!

I have bought this tablet the 1st may, also by aliexpress, and I received it yesterday.

It looks good, nice finishing. It comes with an adapter for EU Plug.

Actually, I just downloaded french translation and updates for Win8, no software installed (just an Android game to try : Terra Battle).

Win 8 looks clear of third party applications (except InsydeQ2S, that seems to be the dualOS system), but on Android there are some Chinese applications that crash sometimes and I would like to know if I can uninstall them ? I can post screenshot if you want.

Put a TF card is not really easy as it need to be deep inserted before mechanism lock it... but my 64Go TF Card is recognized by Win8 but not by Android (default exFAT), I need to try other FS, unless you know what it need ?

I can't help you for the root, but if you want to try something, just tell me and I will do my best.

Tonight, I plan to try some benchmark like Antutu...

I'm not really fluent in English, so I'm sorry for the mistakes :)
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
[MENTION=1167021]Hendrickson[/MENTION] hahahah you toke DHL? i learned my lesson no dhl for me. did it with my voyo a1. payed 17euro for shipping. +18 euro douane. + 12 euro again for dhl (10euro that they pay the douane in advance + 2euro for the file sh!t)

never again. i learned my lesson. yep 133euro im happy. still waiting for aliexpress to ship the tablet ;)

okay good luck. hope it works

[MENTION=1264930]ShadyGuard[/MENTION] ow cool :) yeah got a response that it will include a eu adaptor :) after 10 times of asking...

me i can't help you with the format of sd i have no idea :) normally i saw in videos that you can uninstall apps on android the chinese apps. ahaha de parler francais c'est mieux :) mais faut faire l'effort ici de parler anglais.

after all updates how much space you have left internal? just curious.
[Windows 8 General] Hendrickson:
Hi, 10.5GB free in Windows and Android 6.5GB free so not the best, much better with a 64GB eMMC. I haven't installed any Windows updates. Disabled that, I always do on 32GB tablets because it eats up the free space. You could loose another 2GB easy!

I only shipped it out via DHL to get the tablet a bit earlier for review purposes for my site otherwise I would have opted for the slow boat out of China.. In Spain I have to pay 21% tax and then 15 euros to DHL for their rip off customsk fee. , it's criminal!

I have the Windows drivers dumped here if anyone is thinking of doing a clean install: http://techtablets.com/chuwi-vi10/downloads/

As for rooting the tablet, no luck. Both Vroot and Kingo root fail and even a root tool box for bay trail tablets doesn't work. I'm lost as to how to root it and don't want to spend to much time trying to get root. 160 DPI on the screen makes it look blurry, a better DPI should be used here for sure.
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
[MENTION=1167021]Hendrickson[/MENTION]

Okay thanks. Yeah thats realy not much space, yeah still 64gb tablets are rare. Or expensive

Yeah dhl are assh0les, sure you have your package in 7-9days sure but there still crap for asking money for no real reason.

You are the dude that reviews the vi10 on tech tablet? Very nice reviews you make. Very good channel. Could you make a starcraft 2 video In a arcade game.? I know it playes but i Tryed it of a external drive via usb hub and otg on my voyo a1.

Damn no root yet. Hope some one will come with a solution.
[Windows 8 General] Hendrickson:
Sure, I'll see if I can try Starcraft 2, just need to download it first. I don't think it will run it to well to be honest. Yes those are my videos, they are part of the review process I do for these tablets.

I'll have to use an external drive due to the 15GB install size being over the available free space on the tablet.
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
Okay man very good reviews. For the core m tablets and surface always nice to know what the chipset is capable of.

I think i will buy a sd card 64gb Kingston 80write 90read speed. 32euro. It is the fastest i found for a good pricr

But yeah if you could try it. That will be great. (i know heroes of storm doesn't work. 2gb ram is not enough for it, i tryied with a home pc with a good gpu and dualcore cpu it lagged like hell, even if they say you need 2gb ram minimum, its isn't enough.) starcraft should play on low. If it will good i dont know. Problèm with external is that speeds are not always fast.
[Windows 8 General] Hendrickson:
Fast microsd cards aren't needed unless you have another PC that can take advantage of that speed. All these tablets microsd cards slots max out at 21-23mb/s read and write speeds.
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
Okay thanks good to know so a simple 20mb/s write and 40mb/s read sd card is all i need. Higher speed won't work?

Hum did you try faster sd cards in chinees tablets? Ones that have more than 40mb/s? Or has the sd card slot same speeds as the usb 2.0 ports?

All 20mb? That sucks. Tought sd card had faster working speeds.
[Windows 8 General] gecko16300:
Yep, I think it's normal, try formatting the card in FAT32, or format it directly with Android, Windows should recognize it.

They are faster... Only if the tablet can support this speed ! They will work at a slower speed ;)

It would be nice to make a CrystalDiskMark test to check high speed cards !

Anyone tried 128Gb cards ?
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
[MENTION=5584484]gecko16300[/MENTION]

yuppp i hope hendrickson could make a sd card speed test on the chuwi vi10.

i did try a 128gb sandisk in my voyo a1 once? but just to check if it was real, didn't save the speed somewhere...
[Windows 8 General] ShadyGuard:
[MENTION=3259959]reggiexp[/MENTION] Sorry but I have installed some apps... so I try to calculate the free space after updates without this apps, it's about 7.95Go/14.3Go

[MENTION=5584484]gecko16300[/MENTION] Yes, I format it directly with Android, it's FAT32...
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
[MENTION=1264930]ShadyGuard[/MENTION] don't worry, just curious. someone else already give me a answer . 8gb free after updates?

i know on my moms danew dualboot android 4.2 and windows there was not much left. and now after all the updates it's like 1gb. really bad. but i think i will need clean up the hdd.
[Windows 8 General] ShadyGuard:
[MENTION=3259959]reggiexp[/MENTION] Yes, 8gb free after updates.
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
damn, that's acualy bad. i'm gonna buy a kingston 64gb the fast one. for 29euro damn was too late it's back a 32.19euro. even if the tablet doesnt suport that fast speeds. atleast i will have a good sd card

keyboard is not working

hi i have a problem with my keyboard i bought a chuwi vi10 from aliexpress and when i got it i couldnt download some apps from play store .due to country restrictions probably . (bought from hong kong ) . after the factory reset when i plug the tablet with the keyboard android or windows cant find it and it is not working . before the factory reset in android input and language menu there was settings for keyboard after reset all gone . can anyone help me ? thanks
[Windows 8 General] Hendrickson:
Which is why I might delete Android if I keep this tablet. I hope Chuwi releases a 64GB and 1080p version of this tablet. I would buy it.

Still just 23mb/s read and write cap.

No idea, Play works for me and so does the official keyboard I just got. Not sure what else you could try? Ask your reseller what they recommend or get a refund and swap it for one that works?

Nice keyboard by the way, it's a step up from the Pipo W1/W3/W3F keyboards.
