New vivo firmware out! Just switched the x5 pro on and thought I would give it a try... Boom! Did a factory reset, installed Google services, play store, added my account... All working, installed Swiftkey, Nova launcher... In fact every app I've installed has worked except Google now launcher... But Nova looks great anyway. My only concern is that 4G doesn't work, 3G does... I guess that could be the fact that it's for the Chinese market? But all working OK now. ??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hvung1982:
Did this update merge system partitions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeba:
No doesn't seem to have done... still limmited app installation space...

It's not to bad, very difficault to keep the factory bloatware from returning, everything asks for permissions, I've tried various launchers and the only one that really works is Nova... others ether crash or revert to the Vivo one.

Lock screen is the same, I cant get it to change, the factory one always comes back or you end up with both - microsoft 'Next' lock screen stopped the screen from working and I had to reset the phone.... so if anyone gets a working lockscreen that isnt the nasty factory one let me know.

The phone itself feels nice, looks good and is more powerfull than my Nexus 5 which I broke the screen on hence using the X5-Pro - if it had a stock android ROM it would be a great phone.

I've installed most of the apps I use.. mainly Google ones coming from Nexus and they all work reasonably well, maps, gmail, sms, play store, weather etc... I'm going to order a mSD card for it today.. I'll let you know how it goes. :good:

I also want to use Debloater to try and disable the factory installed junk that we cant delete... if anyone has used this I'd appreciate a pointer on what they've disabled. ;)

I know you can change the wallpaper on the lock screen easy enough... but I wanted to replace the actual lockscreen completely with something useful... if you install the 'Next' lockscreen it ether stops the touchscreen working correctly or you get two lockscreens... which is what happens with all the ones I've tested

You can press the "* # 558 #" in the phone dial interface to open the factory test - the quality verification test - debug the port, turn it off
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hk3f:
I don't think it will work for MTK chipset.

I already tried pushing lg_root.sh and related files to /data/local/tmp, and run the script.

But nothing happened because it has no permission to modify system while running it through adb shell.

LG G3 is using qualcomm snapdragon. And this exploit must send command via qualcomm diag com port.

That step can give script root or system permission temporally.

BTW.

I can open debug port of MTK but have no driver.

1) input *#558# via dialpad to enter engineering menu.

2)tap second menu and check "调试端口"( the only item with checkbox)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDADEVX:
I dont understand this mobile has snapdragon 615 no ? not mediatek ? am confused..

And my real phone bought in china is definitely MT6752.

Maybe vivo will provide qualcomm version out of china?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hk3f:
Do you believe that? I have got a Huawei P8 with no playstore installed in /system/.

But I can install apk through playstore installed in /data without -976 err.

So I think Vivo has not found the root cause of this issue.

Maybe there are some other configs that can let playstore install in /data properly, such like some xml or permission configs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiehao85:
Perhaps I should be clearer. The newer versions of Google Play require access to /system, not actually installation to /system. If your Huawei provide Google Play with access to /system. It should work.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Why would Google provide a fix for a phone that doesn't even come with Google Play services in the first place? Besides, the issue can be resolved by having root which vivo doesn't want to provide.

But P8 audio is ****, So I bought a Vivo.

I can use mtk smartphone flash tool to dump boot.img.

And the dump file is the same with boot.img extracted from <PD1421D_A_1.14.10-update-full.zip>

But i didn't flash it back for I'm not sure it's safe to use this tool.

SP flash tool version 5.1436.0.

Does anybody know if it can be flashed back?

I think maybe we can flash a unlocked boot.img so we can get an adb root shell. Then it will be free to root it.

I did some works with huawei boot.img , but huawei's boot.img is secured with encrypt file header.

Vivo's boot.img starts with "ANDROID!" string so it should be a typical boot image.

So it should be able to unpacked by split_bootimg.pl and cpio.

Then change ro.secure and ro.debuggable in default.prop

And pack it again with mkbootfs and mkbootimg.

My chinese disccussion of huawei boot.img thread is here
