[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Matschkeks1988:
Hello!

I'm new to the PDA-Modding scene.

And I've got several questions.

I updated my Asus MyPal A626 to Windows Mobile 6. It is an official Update.

Now I want to modify my ROM a bit. Don't panic! I'm a very experienced PC user. I did the same stuff with cell phones before. So I now, what I do ;)

But before i can begin I've got some questions:

1. The official Update consists of 3 Files:

update.dat, Update.img and Upgrade Tool.exe

I used this tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=284379&highlight=asus) with update.img and it made 2 additional files from it. What are these files for? And how can I modify the Filesystem and so on?

2. Is it possible to read the current ROM? A backup wouldn't be the worst idea berfore playing with selfmade-ROMs.

3. And what if everything goes wrong? Is there a way to program this backup back into the Rom?

PS: Sorry for my crappy english ;) I'm from Germany

Thank you!
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
I was following originally this guide by a user who posted steps that would basically allow me to move all of my apps from my internal storage to external SD card. The link to the thread I had posted about this can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/internal-memory-storage-help-t3171582/post62245649

I managed to root my phone using the KingRoot method, right after, I installed Flashify, flashed the TeamWin Recovery Project, and right after, it automatically rebooted me. After that, I went to the reboot section, clicked on recovery, and than, it loaded me to an icon where the Android logo is opened from its belly with a red triangle with the ! mark inside the red triangle.

I am assuming that my Android OS was deleted, as I see I now have 3 GB of free internal storage space. I originally was running everything on stock. Is there any solution here? I did manage to install CM12.1, but I forgot to flash GAPPS, thus I had to manually download the Flashify and KingRoot APK's and ended up deleted CWM12.1 as it just seemed buggy.

At this point, I want to just go back to my normal Android, I am fine with using Stock, as long as I have free storage. Though, if using another ROM would be better (where battery life improvements and overall faster performances is always acceptable). I don't want to brick my phone, as it so far seems to be working.

I currently don't have any other backup phone on me, so I would love to solve these issues ASAP as I do need my phone to make calls and answer SMS Text Messages.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
What is your L90 variant?

You probably messed just the system and boot, CM12.1 and other custom roms currently runs with KitKat bootstack, and you may flashed them with Lollipop bootstack. Try to boot holding PWR + VOL DOWN, wait for LG logo show up, immediately release PWR button and hold again (don't release VOL DOWN). If you aboot is fine, you'll be shown a white screen asking if you wan't to reset your phone. If you still have your stock recovery, your phone will actually be reseted to stock, if you changed the recovery to TWRP or CWM, it will boot into them.

From the recovery you can create the right .zip to flash stock system and boot images retrieved from your kdz of your phone with LG Fimrware Extract. If you are able to flash them back, you won't need Kingroot, since your bootloader is unlocked, you can root your phone straight from the recovery with SuperSU flashable zip.

If none of the two options happen, you probably messed your aboot or recovery partition.
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
I think I did mess with my stock recovery boot, and instead TWRP is set as my boot. When I pres the VOLUME down and Power button, I get prompted to a White screen that says "Erase all user data and restore default settings?", after I select "Yes", and "Yes" again, it shows "Factory Reset Performing". Than a quick animation of the Android logo with gears running behind it, after that it looks like it reboots, but right back to Team Win Recovery Project. From there, when I select Reboot, and recovery, it just shows the Android logo with the red triangle.

What are my options from here? I should mention, when I select the option "Reboot" in TWRP and go to "Recovery", it does say "No OS Installed!" , after swiping it than says "Install SuperSU? Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU Now?".

Is there a proper way to also root the device, since it seems to be rooted, even though I swipe to install SuperSU?

EDIT: I also have a LG L90 D415.
[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
If TWRP is booting, you are fine. TWRP is your new recovery, takes place of the stock LG recovery.

I don't know how many variants L90 have, you are D415RD or its a different model? If it's the same D415 you said, you can flash the D415RD zip with TWRP from this topic: http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/orig-development/flashablestock-zip-kk-l-via-recovery-t3137255 (use Lollipop if you were at LL before, use KitKat if it was KK. You cannot downgrade to KK if you were on LL before, they are different bootstacks).

I suggest before flashing, wipe > adv wipe > dalvik/system/data/internal storage (your internal sd data will be wiped)/cache - do NOT format sdcard, it's your microSD with the necessary zip files to go back to stock. Go back and format data, type yes. Go back to home menu, reboot > recovery so your data get remounted and accessible again (ignore warnings saying there is no android installed and asking to install super user). Install > select the zip and wait. You can also flash SuperSU to get root (do after flashing the rom): https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
Ah okay, great, so I can easily fix this solution :) Just a question here - after performing this, when I go back to Stock, would it be recommended to just stick with it? I did some searching for fast Lollipop ROMs, and there are only a few out there from my search...

Also - Next time, is there a better way to do all of this? I was originally trying to install Xposed as a previous user had posted on these forums, that it allowed you to do a multitude of things additional to the whole Link2SD access.
[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
Stick to the stock ROM.

TWRP is the best way of doing all of this, there nothing more easy than simply booting TWRP recovery and flash a zip file. Forget LG recovery and KDZ flash, TWRP is much better. TWRP allow to flash select partitions, thus preserving your unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

If you are talking about all the partition format and reboot things I said, that actually is not really necessary, but since you tried to make some other changes other than simply flashing a new rom, I just wanted to make sure you were making a clean flash and first boot to avoid any obscure errors.

I don't know what is the current development status of Xposed in android LL and the recovery flasheable zip for our L90, but the last time I checked it wasn't stable and could lead to lots of FC to an unbootable system, so I just skiped any modification at this level.
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
YES! I was able to boot back into Stock ROM, but further more, I have root access via SuperSU! I was able to do the Link2SD method, and removed a bunch of the bloatware pre-installed on the ROM, it all works now! Thanks a lot for helping on all of this!

After spending literally my whole day trying to get my phone root acces, I think I will stick to Stock, everything works, and I don't want to kill another day trying to accomplish a miniscule achievment, since I already have Root access. :)

Now, one of my last questions: is there an appropriate way for me to boot into TWRP? Every time I reboot, I go straight to my ROM, not sure how to go back to TWRP (in the case I ever need to flash something again).

Otherwise, my phone works, and I was able to achieve my original goal of freeing up internal space.

Any cool tips or advice you recommend to possibly speed up or just enhance the Stock ROM now that I have root access?
[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
Xposed framework works in our L90 Lollipop, as long as you follow those steps I found @ reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGL90/comments/3f8ycw/guide_how_to_install_xposed_framework_on_lollipop/

If you skip disabling the apps mentioned and clearing cache and dalvik, you will end in a infinite number of force closes and crashes, rendering the system unusable.

Of course, like always, do a system/boot/data backup with TWRP, if anything goes wrong, you'll be able to go back.

After the first boot a window will be shown saying that android system is updating some stuff, this will take a few minutes don't worry.

I installed LG Pie Support module to remove that annoying home google search ring when swiping from navigation buttons to screen.

Lollipop Memory Leak Fix module seems to have no effect tbh.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Takarra:
Hi, I have a question about hiding the fact that I am using an emulator, not an actual android device when playing a game. I have tried Genymotion, Bluestacks (rooted), Droid4x, and Andy to install a game called "Iruna Online". However, since the latest update of the game, I haven't been able to open it on any emulators. When I try to open the application, it says "Not available on this device". I'm guessing the game is blocking PC users.

The first answer I found on the Internet was to change the build.prop file. After changing the values to that of a Nexus 7 (supported by the game), I still got the same error message (I cleared the cache and reinstalled). I even tried looking at the website "What is my Android version?", where it told me I had a Nexus 7.

Frustrated by this, I looked for more answers and ended up installing Xposed. I decided to try to hide my device information from Iruna so it wouldn't know I was on a PC. I opened the app again, and found another error message "No SD card is detected". So I went back and forth for about an hour, changing the Xposed permissions - I would either get the "not available on this device" or "no sd card is detected" error.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm editing the build.prop incorrectly (for some reason I can't find ro.product.manufacturer, is this normal?). Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
Hi all,

Have just bought a stand for my HTC m9, it's a sleek looking bit of kit and only costs a tenner which is pretty cheap.

It is designed to work with the phone with no case although there is a removable part which allows the usage of the dot matrix case too, I've confirmed that this works too.

Chances are you may be able to fit some other cases in there but they would have to be slim, the Spigen hybrid does not fit unfortunately, possible to do some modding but that would be down to you.

You can connect this up to your laptop /PC ( USB 3 charges pretty good compared to usb2) it allows you to mount storage via the dock, also confirmed, a standard USB socket is also present on the back which can be used for OTA purposes, keyboard, mouse, gamepads, hard drive etc (untested but should work).

The design is sleek and sturdy, it holds the phone up well, could maybe use a little more weight.

Personally I got it for work so I can mount it and maybe use it as a clock, see messages via the dot matrix case, play music (can change tracks from the matrix case) so far it's working as expected.

Would recommend.

£9.95p amazon UK. Quick delivery, 3 days, no charge.

Edit: @ mod, like a massive melon I've posted this in the wrong thread, can this be moved to accessories please. My apologies, haven't had much sleep, :(
[One (M9) Accessories] iElvis:
Yeah, I got one of those too, only to discover that it kills quick charge for some reason. Would not get above 150mA no matter what charger I used.
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
:( Don't say that i was beginning to like this, will have a tinker.
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
Actually, I'm getting a normal charge from mine. I don't like fast charge, it damages the battery. So id rather not do that. Normal charging for me. Just under two hours.
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
Have just noticed something. Whilst plugged into a charger, this device does not allow USB OTG? What is the point of that? If you disconnect the charger then it works very well but not whilst connected, have not tried whilst connected to a computer / laptop.
[One (M9) Accessories] iElvis:
Sure the switch on the back is in the right position? I'll admit I haven't played with mine much.
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
Have tried both, like i said without the cable connected it works fine, selecting it away from OTG, does switch connectivity off, however connecting a cable whether on OTG or USB de-activates it.

I know this isn't an official dock so support is going to be really limited.

Might take it apart and see how it's patched, the power source is more than likely for mounting the phone onto a computer, hence the disconnection.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick12484:
Odd question but I have the Developer edition. I use it on T-mobile and just out of curiosity was wondering if it's possible to convert it to a T-mobile variant. I mostly am wondering because of wifi calling and volte. I know most people want to do the opposite, but I figured I'd ask. If it's possible to convert a T-mobile version to developer than I figured it could be done the other way. Any info would be much appreciated! Thank you!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effortless:
You sure can. S-Off using sunshine. Change the mid to 0PJA12000 and cid to T-MOB010. Then flash the official Tmobile ruu from http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...01_81.03.50702G_F_release_445023_signed_2.exe
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick12484:
Would I get otas from T-Mobile or would I have to install those manually as they become available?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effortless:
As long as you don't root (or touch the system partition), you'd get OTA's from T-mobile automatically.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick12484:
Cool! Thanks so much for the info!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effortless:
No problem, enjoy! Also, if you'd like to see the OTA for yourself, flash an older T-Mobile RUU ( http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...51_68.08.50320G_F_release_428184_signed_2.exe ) and check for updates to get to the latest version.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigp951:
I agree with effortless I have done this with both of my m9's. What I did was after s-off and bootloader unlock I changed mid and cid. But instead of flashing the RUU right away I flashed the 1.32 no-wipe firmware from here. after that I ran the 1.32 RUU and after that I accepted the ota.

Not only will you get the volte and wifi calling but my reception went from 3 bars to full bars. was definitely worth the headache.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick12484:
Two more questions. I'm familiar with unlocking and s-off, but is there a guide for the mid and sid?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You change them via fastboot in download mode (after you S-OFF).

To change CID: fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010

To change MID: fastboot oem writemid 0PJA12000
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghosttown242:
Best to use the ruu zip and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip then put on root of ext sd them go into download mode. I don't use exe file because you don't want to be flashing like that and the electricity shut off while bootloader is flashing
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigp951:
A perk of flashing from SD card is that the phones status returns to official as well.

Make sure you are s off and cid is T-MOB010
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick12484:
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I've done anything to my phone. I have the developer one so the bootloader is unlocked. Do I need a computer to s off and change the cid?

1. I should be able to root because the bootloader should already be unlocked so root the phone.

2. S_off using sunshine

3. Change mid and cid with a pc

4. use the file from the google drive link and flash that from download mode

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadyeversince:
(Thread moved, because i'm honestly a noob at forums)

Before you burn me at the stake, I know the title is vague, but I do have a few questions I need answered if possible.

First things first, I have an Alcatel Pop One Touch C7. You're probably not familiar with the phone but I don't think it actually matters in this case.

Now, I dropped my phone a couple of weeks ago, and while the screen didn't crack, it is definitely not working properly. What I think happened is that the cable connecting the display to the phone is slightly dislodged. The screen shows washed up colors and seems to lag when trying to display a new "frame", for example when I type in something and the screen slowly fades in said something. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

I tried opening the phone, but when I unscrewed the back, I saw this sticker going from the battery slot all the way to the board.

I watched a few videos showing how to "unstick" the sticker, but I don't have a heatgun or tool that can help me do so.

My question is:

Do you think this sticker is important to the phone, or can I just rip it out or cut it?

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
First, no, don't cut or rip anything. In my opinion, you may have cracked your display in the drop. If you have access to a UV flashlight, turn the phone off and shine the light on the display and see if you see any cracks. If you can get a hair dryer, use that in place of a heat gun. I look at it like this, it's in the phone for a reason, therefore don't break anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadyeversince:
Sadly, I won't be able to do anything about the screen given two of the screws are chewed up.

I'll probably just get a new phone and leave this one around for an emergency.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Papoulka:
I have several hundred pix on my Fire Phone and can't figure out how to delete them all at once - only one-by-one. Does anyone here know how? I can't find anything elsewhere on the net.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I don't remember FireOS, but did you try long-pressing a picture to be able to select more than one?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ratbags:
Use a file manager such as root explorer, or connect to a pc and do it that way?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Papoulka:
Thanks. I did try the long press on a picture. It just pops up a "Share / Delete" choice for that one picture.

Deleting the pix via a PC connection is my last resort, as I'm afraid it might trash some internal phone database and leave me with a problem much worse than what I have now.

It's hard to believe that a modern phone that can hold hundreds of pictures wouldn't have some kind of "batch select" or multi-delete... so I'm hoping there's a smooth way.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ratbags:
If you've got play store use quickpic which allows batch select.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
On a quasy-related thought--amazon is really bad at this it seems. I think the unlimited cloud photo storage is very generous but no one took the time to polish it a little. Can't seem to organize my pics so got pics of my kids running side by side with random podcast cover art and other things I don't want saved. It all displays on my fire TV screensaver. My wife thinks I'm an idiot just taking pictures of everything and saving them. But the op is right, you have to delete one by one.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Not necessarily. Like [MENTION=6343418]ratbags[/MENTION] said, you can install a file manager app (ES Explorer, Root Explorer, or the like), go to the DCIM folder and delete whatever you want to. Also, having a file manager app could help you when you're trying to not connect your phone to a PC as much as possible.
