Hello everyone!

This will be a bit long but here is my problem.

I got aAkai Tab-7800 that was dropped by a kid when he was playing with it. Since than it won't go past the android logo when booting. I took off only the backcover but I didn't see any damage there.

I tried to go into the recovery menu but when I try to start the tablet with the volume + and power button it won't start.

Tablet specs:

-Android 4.0.4

-Allwinner A13

- 512 MB RAM

Since my Concorde tablet also has an Allwinner cpu I tried PhoenixSuit because thats what I used to flash mine.

The tablet is still "alive" since it can communicate with the pc and got these info from it:

- Model: nuclear-evb

- Rom version: nuclear_evb-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20130115 test-keys

- Android version: 4.0.4

- Chip type: nuclear

- Kernel: Linux version 3.0.8+ (along@along) (gcc version 4.5.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.90-50)

When I tried to use the "recovery mode" in Phoenix, the tablet only restarted.

Now my question is what do you suggest? Shall I try to flash a new rom onto it and if yes which one? Or is there something else I could try?

Thank you for your answares in advance.
[XDA Assist] ipocs:
Some update on this. I could flash this rom that I found on the tablet. (A13 Q8 v6.6 OCOCCI nuclear_evb-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D)

While first I had a bootstuck now I have a bootloop...

Can someone suggest a rom?
[XDA Assist] ipocs:
Thank you for the answer. I only now got time to reply. I actually solved my problem.

I tried out many roms, most of them didn't boot, one cyanogen booted but the touchscreen didn't work. Finally I found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2312731 and one of the TS driver worked. Then I only had the problem of the camera but I could solve that too with these files http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55727899&postcount=109 . So for now it looks like everything works fine.

So in short for those who may have problem with an Akai Tab-7800:

- Flash FaaastJB v2.5 on the tablet.

- use these moduls for TS "ssd253x-ts.ko+dmard06.ko"

- use these files from the post for camera: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55727899&postcount=109
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Kevin6537:
Just switched from iPhone to S6, love the phone but wish I could root. Kinda confused on the whole thing so just making sure there is no way to downgrade, upgrade, or root my current version? This is because verizon restricts the bootloader? If it is true and rooting is no an option right now then can anyone give me a very rough estimate of when I might be able to root. I understand there is no way to know but since I have never rooted maybe you would know how long these things normally take. Thanks for all your support.

Hey Guys,

I got a problem with my old HTC Desire. Yesterday I started my device and saw a 5x5 pattern which I can't remember. Then I tried to delete - via ADB - my Gesture.key to get access to the device. But my ADB told me: "no such file or directory found. "

So the desire is still locked and I have no access. The second thing I tried was via recovery, but I got the same results.

Hope you can help me and looking forward for a solution.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueDoom:
Hey peeps,

just a quick one, as have found some conflicting answers online.

I have an i8200 which has a broken LCD and touchscreen, so want to swap it out.

the i8190 screen is half the price of the i8200 screen on ebay, but they look to be the exact same, size, connections etc.

According to an answer found here (sorry for bypassing the 10 post filter ^^)

https ://www . ifixit.com/Answers/View/180523/Are+all+the+screens+the+same

<screens are> all the same.
And the I8200 screen is also compatible with I8190 and the other way around, too.

But I've contacted some sellers on eBay to ask, and they say they are different screens.

So does anyone have a definitive answer on this? Thanks for the help!

it's not worth spending €80+ on a screen.

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to find a way to disable secure boot on the Hudl 2 but haven't really been successful, so I have created a thread so that everyone can help me out to disable this secure boot.

Normally, the secure boot can be disabled through the UEFI Interface of a device, but with the hudl 2, you are not able to access the UEFI, so what I am thinking of doing is modifying the bios file to change the default settings and then flash that back to the device. Will this be successful? I don't know yet. But this is why I have started this thread, to get help from people with the expertise to do these kinds of things. I have also attached the bios file itself. The bios is by Insyde. So our main goal is to modify this bios to ether disable secure boot, or enable access to the bios itself.

Thanks you all for your help :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jsmithfms:
So I actually don't have the S5, or any Samsung device for that matter, but a friend of mine does, and really wants to root their phone. I had no idea the AT&T S5 was so secure, but it's pretty interesting too. I've been researching for over 15 hours. I may not have been able to root his phone, but I think I have learned a couple things and maybe some possible root methods.

1.) Since using ODIN to downgrade would soft brick the phone, would it be possible to download the stock Lollipop update onto a computer, give the update super user access, replace the recovery with a custom one, or unlock the bootloader from the computer, then flash it through ODIN?

2.) Intercept any sort of OTA update, then alter it to flash a custom recovery or unlock bootloader? I don't know how you would go around this though.

3.) If someone hasn't taken the OTA update that patched the Stagefright exploit, could someone purposely use the exploit to allow installation of a custom recovery or even to unlock the bootloader since the Stagefright bug has super user access (or so I've heard).

Also, I'm sorry if these are stupid ideas. I know close to nothing about Samsung so everything I'm basing this off of is what I've read in the past 15 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KennyG123:
The issue is that AT&T (and Verizon) use an encrypted signature key to verify they are the correct unaltered files as well as the means to unlock the bootloader to allow the OTA. Without that key, the tasks you mention are near impossible. They are not stupid ideas at all..just very difficult with all the security checks included.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jsmithfms:
Crap... well does anyone know how that encyption key is generated? Like, could I theoretically get an algorithm from a ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ice_cr3am:
Honestly for the time being I wouldn't bother with ROMS for that Device and carrier at the moment. Especially being that its someone elses device. Towelroot should be a good start. If Im not mistaken I don't think its supposed to trip knox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KennyG123:
This is the riddle of the Sphinx my friend. I am sure the super devs have tried their best so far to crack it. It has been an ongoing effort to make phones more and more secure, not against the amateur developers and rooters, but against the hackers. These smartphones are now our personal computers, diaries, personal assistants, financial operator, and more. They basically are a person's (and business's) life. AT&T and Verizon have taken the big steps to appeal to the Exchange clients, corporate, government and military contracts. Even the general public want to know their phone is secure. This is what keeps me stuck on the Sprint network.

I downloaded adb, intel driver and system (droidboot.img, recovery..img, boot.img, system.img) to do the adb flashing but it wont detect my phone and I think its because i cant set it to adb, droidboot, fastboot, recovery, usb debugging etc. Kept getting 0 device on the adb device list on the CMD when I was doing adb devices.

Just to add quick feedback, it seems like the account restore function is not working. When I add my google account it doesn't ask me to restore anything and it wouldn't pull down wifi passwords, personal account settings or apps. Contacts, calendars, play stuff syncs just fine, but not the account settings.

I don't want to do a factory reset just to try it, but tried wiping the data/cache partitions couple of times and it always greets me with a owner user already created and not with the usual welcome wizard.

EDIT: installing full gapps doesn't make a difference FWIW.

EDIT2: From my short research, it seems that the restore option is only available at Setup Wizard time which never starts in this rom. In order to maintain Stock experience, I recommend putting the setupwizard back so that fresh installs work like Stock Rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jrny99:
it's perfect along side with gravity box. it didn't install all junk and let me do a truly clean flash. I thought leaving out setup was brilliant. : ) very fast boot up. very fast !
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Yeah i like stock that way :)

Btw : U can find restore option in Backup and reset place
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jdruc:
The restore from there doesn't include wifi settings, account settings (show/hide password, hide certain notifications etc), workspace icon grouping, application restoring etc. - that can only be restored by the wizard at setup time. After so many years of fiddling with android, I just want to flash and be back to running with my settings after the restore, not to have to redo everything manually.

No worries though, I modified the build.prop file and got the wizard to restore my settings. Still a great rom, I'll keep using it if you keep updating it :).

If anyone wants to get the setup wizard, edit the build.prop file in /system and make sure ro.setupwizard.mode is set to ENABLED. Save that file to a side storage and copy it over after clean flash.

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
