With that attitude and your barely passable ability to post on this forum, I wouldn't recommend you do any kind of flashing with your phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I've been using my tbolt for years on my night stand for clock and temperature and night light. The thing is I remember next to nothing about how to use it. It is rooted and has the custom recovery everybody used back when it was new. It seems to me I have an app that allows me to switch between saved roms. The thing is I have no idea what the name of the app is nor how to switch roms. Anybody remember the name of this app and how to use it?. Basically I want to continue to use whatever old rom is on it aosp type pre ics rom. I have ics radios installed but I only use on wifi anyway. What I basically want to do is completely wipe all my data from this phone and reboot into my current rom. The thing is it seems to me I have to go to the base rom which I think is ics, uninstall the software saving several roms on card, then I think I can go to recovery wipe data and reboot. I want one clean rom with none of my own data on phone. I am afraid li ion battery may not be safe to constantly leave on the charger all these years. I don't want it to burst into flames. Anyway I want to wipe everything. Establish a new gmail account then just install a couple of.free apps. I may just wipe all data and throw away phone. Thing is I don't wNt to brick it and I don't know if I can go into recovery wipe everything then find an existing rom wipe.its data. Then go to sd card and wipe everything so I can throw away phone without worrying that someone finds it and steals my data.

1 What is the name of that program that stores several roms at once?

If I have it can I still go to cwm recovery and wipe everything and just choose one rom from sd card to install fresh?

Any tips or warnings on cleaning everything so it is safe to throw away phone?

Do you think it is still safe to leave plugged in 24/7? I took out the extended battery that I used 95% of the time and put back the original battery which has had little use but is the same age as whatever year it was tbolt came out.

Thanks for your help!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickdraw86:
TL.DR. anyway, the only ROM storing app that there ever was for thunderbolt was:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager.lite

I never used it, as it was a major hack if it worked at all.

All of the stored ROMs from boot manager are stored on your SD card, so you could just delete the entire directory with a file manager If you want to remove all data from all the stored ROMs too.

You can still use your recovery to wipe, flash, and backup ROMs regardless of boot manager.

It's not a great idea to continuously charge any electronic device. If you want to put it to some use, it's not that much trouble to insert and remove a charger. Or just remove the battery and run the phone of charger only. Much less risk of fire/battery rupture that way.

Flash memory will always leave some traces of even supposedly deleted data, better to just hang onto it anyway. Not like it takes up a lot of space.

BTW: you realize you changed your mind about things you want to do with the phone right three times in your post, right? Lol.

[XDA Assist] reborNmatT:
Hello,

I have an Alcatel ONE TOUCH POP C7, recently just bought it hoping to transfer some music files, connected my phone to my computer and nothing. Dug deeper into my phone, at the top it says "Connected as a media device, Touch for other USB options"

I see four options:

USB Storage

Media Device (MTP)

Camera (PTP)

Charge only

I'm not able to choose the "USB Storage" option, so it forces it to select "Media Device". I've downloaded appropriate driver from the Alcatel support site and it is installed.

When I select the PTP option, the computer recognizes it and I'm able to see my pictures.

But... when I select MTP I get nothing... it's really annoying and I want to transfer some music files to my phone, I've never had this problem with my Galaxy S I Vibrant and Galaxy S II i9000.

So can anyone help me please?
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. With your device in MTP mode and connected to your PC go to device manager on the pc. Do you see an icon with a yeloow exclamation mark? If so right click it and go to where it let's you choose a driver from a list on your computer. Chose android adb composite interface. See if that works.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricardo-Fr:
Hello.

during this evening i wanted to flash my ONEPLUS One and to do this i downloaded a new ROM (BlissPop) as well as rooted my phone (unlock bootloader, installed TWRP and root the phone). Then i put the Rom.zip on a folder in the SD card (internal). I boot the phone into recovery and then i make a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvick and when i search for the zip to flash it i couldn´t find it anywere. So now i receive the message that i dont have any OS in my phone. I still have the bootloader unlock and i stil have access to recovery i only don't know how i put the zip file in sdcard (internal) because my computer dont recognise my phone when i connect it.

Could you help me to resolve this problem? it´s very urgent because i dont have phone now.

Thanks in advance

TWRP version installed is v2.8.6.0
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Looks like you wipe your internal storage accidentally. Do you have MTP enabled in the Mount menu in TWRP?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricardo-Fr:
Yes i have.

When I touch in the middle button in TWRP Navbar I could see the following information:

Updating partition details...

...done

Full SELinux support is present.

MTP Enabled

However the mount appears not working because when i touch in Disable MTP button i could see the same message.

I already try ADB sideload too but it fails.

Its quite strange because when I access the Wipe Menu, i have the following message:

" Factory Reset

Wipes data, Cache, and Dalvick (not including internal storage)"

then i have two buttons 1- Advanced Wipe and 2- Format Data

I touch the second. In the sdcard partition i still have the TWRP folder but whe don´t see the other folders. I have in the same partition a folder named ROMs where i put my new ROM but it dont appear to me.

many thanks man for your help.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Right now it's probably best just to use fastboot to flash the stock images to get your phone booting again. Go to section 8 of my guide:

you´re the one. Thanks a lot man my OPO is booting again :o.

I realise that I were very nooby here because TWRP has a slide button that says wipe for factory reset. I should to touch in this button regard the Format data button, its my fault and a very lack of attention. Fortunately there are guys like you.

Once agais, thaks a lot.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Great news. When wiping, it's probably safer to go into the Mount menu in TWRP, then select Advanced Wipe, and then you can select exactly which partitions you want to wipe.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricardo-Fr:
Heisenberg

Only one more thing. What is the folder that i should use to put my Rooms for flash? Now I´m a little afraid that when i perform a full wipe i dont see the folder with the rooms again. So what is you suggestion?

Thanks a lot once again.

BR
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It doesn't really matter where you put them, I have a dedicated folder for ROMs so they're easy for me to find. But as long as you use the Advanced Wipe menu and only select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache (not internal storage) you'll be fine.
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
I recently bought a generic android head unit from Ali Express. It actually works well but I really need to connect it to a CAN bus and write some additional software (background: I want to replace the factory unit in a Nissan Leaf, so it needs to display some vehicle info, show the heater settings and set up the charge timer). I have experience in Android app development and embedded Linux, but I'm still a 'noob' when it comes to Android hacking (root access etc).

I'm pretty sure I will need root access to do what I want. It has 'CAN tx / rx' pins on the back, and I am pretty sure they are wired to one of the serial interfaces internally (I will need an adapter to convert UART to CAN as well). I played around with an app to access the serial ports (i.e. ttyxxx) but I didn't have permission to use many of them - probably the ones I wanted!

I don't want to re-write the existing music player, amp control and radio; I just want to add a new app to carry out my vehicle-specific functions.

I tried the root process given here but it didn't work.

Here are the device details:

Model: S07

MCU Version: MTCB-HA-V2.60

Android Version: 4.4.4_01062015

Kernel Version: 3.0.36+ root@ubuntu #278

CPU: ARM7 1.6G x 2

CPU/SOC is an RK3066 on a modular board. Pictures attached.

It doesn't have any physical buttons except reset - there are touch sensitive buttons for power, back and volume. It has one SD card slot for map data and no USB on the front (several on the back).

I haven't figured out how to get to the recovery console, or connect it to a PC via USB. :(

Any suggestions for how to root? Or get to recovery console?

Anyone else with a similar device?
[Android Head-Units] MayfairDROID:
Check out the Huefi thread above. It has everything you need. first page covers root. basically, download the rom you want, put it on the GPS SD card, insert it, and wait for it to ask you to update. Once you do that, it will be rooted. there is no other way to root it if it has 4.4.4. DO NOT INSTALL A MCU file for it unless it is for HA devices. HA is the manufacture of the unit, and if you use an MCU file for a different device, you run the risk of loosing the physical buttons on the unit. This can be repaired by going into recovery and flashing the HA MCU, but that is a lot of extra work :)
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
Hi! Thanks for your reply.

I was wary about installing a new image because I don't want to lose the existing radio app and amplifier controls (which are specific to the device rather than the RK3066 SOC module, if I have understood the structure correctly).

* Would a new image replace these apps, or are they actually in the MCU firmware anyway?

* Can I back up my current image first? I looked at some backup tools, but they all needed root access... =Catch 22.

Sorry for noob questions... I'm getting the hang of Linux but still new to messing with Android at a low level. I'd love to play around with a stripped Ubuntu or similar on the device, but I don't want to have to write my own software for the radio parts - at least not yet.

BTW do you know how the bootloader system works? Is it possible to boot from SD card or USB (therefore allowing some other OS to be booted without replacing the onboard image)?
[Android Head-Units] MayfairDROID:
I cant help with the bootloader issues, but I can with some of the others:

-Radio and Amplifier apps are the same on all units, or should I say is compatible across all units. If you were to go into the settings, then factory settings and enter 126 as the password, you can see all the settings you need to make sure your unit functions after upgrading your rom image.

-You can not back up your factory image. its not possible. You can always reach out to your seller and ask them if they will send you a copy of the factory firmware.
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
SUCCESS! I just downloaded and installed the latest image from Malaysk (I think?) and it looks like it is working well! Radio, music player and amplifier work, and I have root access. Woo! So far so good... Thanks!

Hello Friends, I read your post. Like anything happens

I want to update my Car Stereo Radio Head Unit

Here are the device details:

Model; S07

MTCB-JY-v2.44

MAR 24 2015 9:46:14

ANDROID VERSION 4.4.4_25032015

kernel version

3.0.36+

ROOT @ UBUNTU # 766

Build number

rk3066.eng4.4.4 25032015.13: 08: 43

CPU

arm7 1.6 GHz (x2)

But that is not the screen resolusion 880 // 1024

Knowing that I have to Huifei / KGL, Klyde, or RoadMaster

Thank
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
Hi, I also didn't know the screen resolution, and it is not mentioned on the "About" screen.

In the settings menus, I found some options for recording a video of the display (I don't know why!) and the maximum resolution there was 1024 x 600. I figured that you wouldn't bother to record at higher res than the screen had, so the resolution must be 1024x600. This seemed to work!

My stereo has absolutely NO branding on it anywhere so I don't know whether it's a clone of Huifei or something else, but it worked with the "Malaysk" firmware, which I downloaded from the Huifie file repository (linked from here), under firmware->Malaysk ROM->Malaysk DualCore RK3066).

I picked the bottom one (12th Jun 15, 1024x600 with different launcher).
[Android Head-Units] dovoto:
I just installed the same unit. Only complaints are streaming music via Bluetooth only works if you open up the Bluetooth app (probably because android doesn't act as a Bluetooth sink). The other issue is, I cannot seem to change the brightness of the screen...its a touch too dim for daylight (I have a convertible) and a bit too bright for nighttime.

Glad to see you got a custom rom working.

Update question

Do I burn the update.img file to the sd card or do I simply copy it? And does it have to be my gps sd card or can it be a spare blank one?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Doesn't appear to be an img file in the context of "burn it" so I think that answers that question (just copy it) The head unit doesn't seem to do anything when I drop it in though (either with it on when I insert it or with it already inserted during a reset). Any thoughts?
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
The file should be "update.zip". I used a new SD card - try formatting one with FAT32.

You just copy it to the card and insert it - I think the stock Android image automatically checks for update files that look like this, and loads them. This process worked OK for me - if not then hopefully someone here knows more about the update process than me.
[Android Head-Units] Logicsystem360:
HI !

I also try to root my 2din android without success... I have the same as your and I fail to get recovery and the android can't detect the update.img (or update.zip)

I have tried many tips, my sd card is in fat32, well detected by android ...

Do you have the tip to access to the recovery ?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jcolebaker:
I think the file is "update.img" not "update.zip". Anyway I have not figured out how to get to the boot loader on mine, and I never got any recovery console. Sorry I am too much of a beginner myself to suggest anything. :(
[Android Head-Units] jamieb122:
Instead of flashing a new image, go to the factory settings and type in *#hct#root#

This should give you root, no need to flash a new image
[Android Head-Units] rhacy:
Bonjour.

If you would like more than root and you're still having trouble getting into recovery with your Hot Audio RK3066 1024x600 2 DIN Head Unit, the steps below have worked for me when the system does not automatically detect the mcu or update.img.

*** Prior to flashing any OEM or Custom ROM firmware, I recommend using a backup app like Titanium to save all your existing apps and data to your external micro sd card or usb memory stick.

1) Install Quick Boot or a similar apk from the play store.

2) Attach a wireless usb or usb keyboard and confirm it is working as intended. I use a Lenovo N5902 but most usb or wireless usb keyboards should work for this task.

3) Make sure you have the update and or mcu image file on your gps micro sd card or an attached usb memory stick (not the zip file).

4) Open Quick Boot, select recovery, and the system will shut down and boot into recovery.

5) Use your usb keyboard to scroll or arrow down to the update option with correct img file location, then press enter to execute the mcu or android firmware update or both.

6) After you update the android firmware, it is highly recommended that you go into the Settings > Backup & Reset, and select reset to factory and check the box to delete all data from the internal sd card. This reset to factory and internal sd card wipe should give your updated android system a clean start and help avoid system issues due to left over data from the previous firmware.

7) Delete the mcu and or update image from your external micro sd card. Done.

Hope this helps...

Best to all,

Just so you know.... unless you buy a Verizon Developer Edition Note 3, you won't be able to flash AOSP based ROM's due to the unlockable bootloader on the Retail Verizon Note 3.

As far as recovery options for the retail version, you can use Safestrap. It's a modified TWRP recovery which works with the locked bootloader, but you have to stick with ROM's that work with it, and can't flash AOSP based ROM'S because of kernel incompatibility. You won't be able to flash regular TWRP, CWM, or Philz on a retail Verizon Note 3, even if it's on 4.3 or 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
