Hi guys,

I'm here to explain my new fresh app that I tested on my HTC Desire 310 and it's faboulous. His name is...

MTKTransfROM

*What does it do?

- This app will let you do all the process of porting an MTK ROM to your MTK phone without a PC! You can choose a lot of options and method, like signing ZIP, Fix BootLoop/Stuck at Boot Logo and even READ BOOT.IMG DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PHONE and AUTOMATICALLY ADAPT THE ROM FOR YOUR PARTITION (/dev/block/mmcblk0p*)

*What do I have to do?

-All you have to do is select the ZIP ROM, choose chipset and options and then click "Port ROM for your device!". The default chipsets installed are taken on online forums, like XDA and 4pda.ru (thanks a lot for those guides), but you can build your own chipset method with a simple text editor!

*How can I build my chipset method?

-The chipset structure is like: e.g.

[B]system/bin/vold [/B] (Copy this file from your device)
[B]system/etc[I]/[/I][/B] (Copy entire directory, replacing existing files)
[B][I]-[/I]system/etc/ [/B] (First delete ROM folder and then copy entire folder)
[B]system/lib/libaudio[I]*[/I][/B] (Copy all files that starts with libaudio...)

Then save it as "{THE NAME YOU WANT}.txt" in your SDCard under "MTKTransfROM" named folder (e.g. /storage/sdcard0/MTKTransfROM/mt6589.txt)

*Bugs?

Existing bugs TODO:

-During porting, the UI lags. Don't worry, the app is working. If appears Not Responding error, just wait.

-For now, it's only in English.

*Changelog

**1.2

- Discarded zip4j for problems during extraction, using java.util.zip now

- Fixed Exception on some ROM structures

- Added Exit menu voice if activity doesn't terminate

**1.0

- Initial Release

*Credit

-Kellinwood for his ZipSigner class. Thanks a lot.

Now I need help from you community...

As you can see from Play Store screenshots, it has the "Port boot.img" function. However I'm searching a method to unpack and repack MTK boot.img directly from phone. If someone can help me, I will be the most happy man in the world!

As for now, it's the only thing I need to let this app became perfect!

Google Play Store URL: Click here to be redirected (If it says 1.0, is because it's updating or uploading, I'm writing this post while this app is updating).

P.S. Sorry for my English, I'm Italian.​

Can you add support for MT6752 devices?
[Android General] RacerOttavio97:
You can add it yourself putting your custom files in the folder I explained in the tutorial ;)
[Android General] kirito9:
Thanks, I will try it and see if it works :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] HypoTurtle:
I was thinking of doing something similar with MT6732/52 devices...

[I'd be doing it from recovery as I have almost zero app making abilities]

Have a look at the MTKsplit file in the MTK folder in my sig. for the boot.img (un)pack - it works fine with the 64bit SoC's boot/recovery images - so not sure about the older ones.
[Android General] RacerOttavio97:
Thank you HypoTurtle, but I'm searching a tool that run on android phone itself, like a sh script or a linux binary. ;)
[Android General] HypoTurtle:
MTKsplit can/does run on android itself - thats why I wrote it. It's a sh - primarily using dd to split the boot/recovery. I removed the #! at the top so the same script can be run fron recovery and system (making it default to the shell that calls it - /sbin/sh in recovery and /system/bin/sh in system).

Just tested the MTKsplit against a 6592 recovery.img and it works fine:

root@Android_phone:/tmp # ls -la
ls -la
-rwx------ root root 5867520 2015-10-05 16:22 recovery-6592.img
root@Android_phone:/tmp # MTKsplit recovery-6592 unpack
MTKsplit recovery-6592 unpack
Unpacking recovery-6592 - will only take 30 seconds
All Done...
Command line: f30"
Ramdisk unpacked to /tmp/work
root@Android_phone:/tmp # ls -la
ls -la

is anyone else getting 2 card notifications on their watch whenever there is an event saved on their google calendar? I'm getting 2 card notifications on my watch for each event on my google calendar - one for "Agenda" and another for "Calendar". is there a way to disable the Agenda?

thanks!
[Moto 360] xdatastic:
Add Calendar into the 'Block app notifications' in the Android Wear companion app. It should be in there by default with a note saying 'Blocked to prevent duplicate event cards on watch'.

If that doesn't work, try disabling event notifications in Google App\Now.

I need help from you brilliant Guru's.

I bought this tablet, AstroTab a724, I have foolishly lost root and I have tried many different root utilities with no success.

Please help me :(...I am such a noob.

Tablet Details:

Model Number: A724

Android Version: 5.0.2

Kernel Version:

3.10.37

mli@mli-TCH #2

Thu May 7 12:31:57 CST 2015

Build number: AstroTab-userdebug 5.0.2 LRX22g mli04281822 release-keys

I've tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, Framaroot...I tried connecting with ADB (this slapped me right in the face as I couldn't find the device...so now I'm doing a clean install of the SDK in hopes I may have some possible way to Terminal into the tablet and modify config files)

Any help is appreciated! If I'm literally SOL, please just tell me - not ideal, but it would be great to know. Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wardyboyo:
Hi guys, I've made a boot animation for my Z3, I read a few tutorials and followed each to the letter.

I used ffmpeg to grab the frames from a video and put them in two folders, named; part0 and part1.

Part0, I want to play once. Part1 I want to play once and then loop until the phone boots fully.

my desc.txt file looks like this:

1080 1920 30
p 1 0 part0
c 1 0 part1
p 0 0 part1

I tried it without the line "c 1 0 part1" and it still didn't work.

I previewd the file with depotovski01's boot animation factory and it played perfect, but when I installed it on my phone using ROM toolbox pro and rebooted, the first part played fine then the screen went white and I was in a bootloop.

Had to change it through recovery to boot again.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Thanks in advance!

[Amazon Fire Phone] alexandergrig:
I was trying to shoot some video with the Fire phone today (I'm on 4.6.3). I had about 5 videos recorded, when I ran into an issue where I would hit the button to start recording the video and immediately it would stop (with the counter reading only 1 sec). I tried to switch back to camera and then back to video, as well as exit the app, but the problem persisted. Until I restarted the phone, it kept doing this and apparently recorded none of these 1 sec attempts at video.

I would imagine this kind of quirk (as well as the audio routing problem I've discussed in another thread) would be more likely to occur while using a non-stock ROM. Unless I am experiencing some sort of defective hardware issue, I am rather amazed that these issues would happen with the stock FireOS install. I haven't even used the phone all that much for audio and video. At some point I may be tempted to proceed to install CM11, despite it's quirks just to see if these issues would be remedied, as much as I had not wanted to.

Anyone else experience this type of problem?

[General Questions and Answers] sleepingwithmilf:
Hi I have an Asus MemoPad HD7(ME173X) running stock rom stuck in a boot loop. I tried wiping/factory reset and wipe cache but it didn't fix the problem.

I also have stock recovery so I have no idea how to install a custom recovery without the drivers so I can flash a stock rom.

Tried using flash tool, adb, fastboot method to flash rom/cwm but Windows always fails to install the drivers because of the boot loop.

When I plugin the tablet the computer recognizes it for a bit and it tries to install the driver but it ultimately fails.

I'm losing hope that I can still fix this. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? Thank you so much!

I got exactly the same issue. I followed the guideline from somebody else, disconnect and reconnected a flying wire across the battery. Now I do not have the shutdown issue anymore.

Re: Root on Note 4

I understand that AT&T Note 4 is unable root able .

I can't remember but did I read somewhere that t-mobile note 4 is root able? And it must be unlocked so it can be used on att is this correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spocko:
That is pretty much correct. AT&T and Verizon Note 4's have a locked bootloader and cannot be permanently rooted.

There is a temporary root method available if the device is running KitKat, but root is only temporary, and you can't make any permanent changes to the system because it is write protected, so it's not like a normal root. See this thread if you are interested in the temporary root method:

http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954

The TMobile Note 4 has an unlocked bootloader, so it can be rooted and can install custom recoveries and ROMs. The TMobile version can also be used on AT&T if it has been carrier-unlocked. This is the main reason why TMobile Note 4's are more expensive on the used market than the AT&T version. See this thread for more info about using the TMobile version on AT&T:

Hi!

First...no, you can't use a rom not made for your specific device. Not without a very high risk of bricking your device. Definitely not a wise idea.

I found a thread on rooting, http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/root-guide-kyocera-hydro-vibe-t2831228

But no roms for your device on XDA that I can find. Feel free to ask here if you want though....

I've got 4-5 AFTV's set up in my house running XBMC Gotham with a custom skin connected to my LAN serving content off of my NAS. Family loves it.

Want to put one in the car. So...

No network connection

XBMC Gotham

2TB HDD connected to USB port

Can this be done? IE use a FTV without a network connection?, connect a 2TB drive? (I can connect huge drives to my in-house, non-rooted FTV's)

Should I root this box or let it update and will it act like the ones I have in house? I put FiredTV app on the ones in the house to jump to a menu where I can quickly start XBMC. Is there a better way with rooting?

Is there a good resource I should go to to find out about these things?

Thanks for the help.

Roveer
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freezer2k:
Not sure about this,

but I would think that it will work fine without network connection if you only use the XBMC/Kodi app.

So no root required.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1:
Without a network connection, I think you just get the KFTV Launcher with a lot of blank spots. That is, no complaining popups or crashes.

Even without root, you can use FireStarter to launch Kodi automatically. Root would give you more options as far as using Kodi / SPMC as a launcher replacement, more drive mounting options, and Google Play store.

How are you mounting and reading data off of the hard drive? How is it formatted? I'm only networked, but hooked up a USB 32GB SSD to replace the internal storage. I see that you can use a FAT32 formatted drive for Kodi, but files larger than 4GB need to be in a split RAR archive.

Depending on what firmware the AFTV is on already, or whether it was allowed to update, that may determine whether you can successfully root. Here's the AFTVnews Rooting Starter's Guide.

If you can root, I would do it. You regain control of your device, nothing happens without your approval, and you gain abilities to install and alter things to improve the device that you own.

Also, you may want to look into updating Kodi, as yours is a few versions behind (13 vs. 15.2 stable) - just make sure your skins and add-ons have been updated for use with Isengard.

I would root it and unlock the BL to make it more useful when/if amazon stops adding cool stuff to it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roveer:
So I started following the guide that was posted, did all the domain blocking and was having good success. Got to the registration part and the FTV would NOT accept my id & pw. I did some searching and it seems like this device is not registered in Amazon's system. It was strange that when I first booted it it was displaying setup instructions in both english and dutch so I'm guessing this was some sort of export device. I've emailed Amazon support with my MAC address's (as suggested in another post of others having the same problem), and I'll see what I get back. Now, if someone here knows something that I don't, please share.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roveer:
When I started the setup it asked me which language and displayed english and dutch but I guess it was in german. I went back to the ebay listing and found that it did not say it was rootable like I had said so I must have been mistaken. Doesn't really matter to me as I'm going to sideload kodi and can use firedtv as my kind of launcher. It doesn't always work, but the family is used to this configuration. I'm going to try and root it just in case I made some sort of mistake. But at this point I can't get past the id/pw stage so I'm going to need Amazon's help. The responded to my email saying I have to call or chat to get further help.

Roveer
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Correct. Version 51.1.3.0 was the first software version to include german language option and those are not rootable.

Seeing a language prompt when you first power on a Fire TV is the best way to know if it's not rootable without having to go through the initial setup and get to the home screen to check the software version.
