Please, did you download the TWRP image for Allview Energy P8 and do you still have it?
[General Questions and Answers] tipuban:
Hey! You can shut it down for a short time by pressing Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN, and holding everything until the screen goes off. It seems to go in a temporary shut down, and then you can quickly insert the cable to begin downloading again.

Bootloop after latest update

Hi, I have an Indian M5, rooted with TWRP, today I got an update notification, the update is around 130 mb, I forgot that I am rooted & I ran OTA and my phone has stuck into TWRP bootloop. I even tried factory reset but still it boots into TWRP. Can you please suggest anyway that I dont have to flash whole firmware again.

or In case I have to flash, your link contains 2 files, which one shall I download? 6057 or 6184, are these indian roms?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] simran420:
If u have nandroid backup then use it..

If u dont have nandroid bavkup and u stuck in bootloop you need to flash the full frameware , either 6057 or 6184 .. I did not know both support your phone if they support then try any of it..

Any custom rom and recovery for m5 lite?

6184 Worked

Thanks, I already tried 6184 today morning & it worked, Its indian version I think. I installed twrp again & restored my backup which I took after bootloop (only system + data) & it was back to yesterday status :) . Flashed stock recovery & uninstalled supersu completely but still not able to do OTA update.

First I thought as uninstalling supersu leaves .tmpsu in system/bin so that might be causing problem as system was showing the files in root integrity check. After a lot of tries I managed to remove all residual files after supersu uninstall. But still OTA update fails while installing update saying " system/bin/install-recovery.sh has unexpected contents"

Any Idea?

[General Questions and Answers] simran420:
Your phone has twrp recovery , no su and ota update fails on install ?

This is because your are twrp custom recovery , official ota don't works on any custom recovery , so you need to flash frameware again to get stock recovery then download ota and install it
[General Questions and Answers] singh.r:
I have mentioned I flashed stock recovery, uninstalled supersu, deleted all residual supersu files but OTA update still fails. I googled around & it seems after 5.0 there is some system validation in android before OTA.

The OTA gives error "system/bin/install-recovery.sh has unexpected content" & fails.

I know I can flash full original firmware & update, but I would prefer some other way around.

I suggest you do not hack or upgrade your Vox too much... it will slow down if you run many programs in one time. Do not forget... it has a 200MHz CPU and only 64 megs of RAM.

I use only SmartToolkit running for startmenu, taskmanager, screencapture and switch running progs.... all other progs (weather, resco, etc.) I run only when they need.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksradio:
I am asking for some help on this. I have always previously used toolkits to root and install recovery but I have a new N6 and I would like to learn to use ADB and fastboot. I have read several help guides and it all seems pretty straight forward except when i query the N6 with "adb devices", it does not return anything. However, if I enter the boot loader and query with "fastboot devices", it recognizes my N6. I have tried several different cables and ports, switching from mtp to ptp, resetting RSA keys, all with no success. I am using the latest adb, version 1.0.32 and my phone is stock 5.1.1. I am not a MAC power user by any means, so if someone can help, please use the simplest terms possible. Many Thanks

Update!....I had used EasyTether a few years ago and it was still in my extensions folder. I had unloaded it but not removed it with no success. Today, I removed it completely and now ADB recognizes my N6!! Thanks to all who commented.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksradio:
Additional information......I keep seeing a reference to device drivers but I always thought Mac's did not require a driver to use ADB. Am I correct? Also, Android File Transfer works perfectly when I connect my N6 so the computer itself seems to be recognizing it. It also shows up as a Nexus 6 under "USB" in the system report.

This is the guide I used to set up ADB https://www.google.com/url?q=http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D1917237&sa=U&ved=0CA4QFjAEahUKEwjvraDV2K7IAhWEoogKHbJPAxc&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNFwMzlRqY6AK7bv2ue6HmnF74sPjw

Drivers I'm not sure. For linux, sometimes we have to do extra work (UDEV rules) but I can't say for Mac. What are these references to drivers and where are you seeing them?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksradio:
I have been researching and reading guides on this site for almost 2 days just gathering infomation. Today I used the guide i referenced in above post to install ADB on my Mac. Most of the information and guides written on this site are for PC users, so that is where I kept seeing a reference to device drivers, but I just wanted to clarify in case I missed something that was assumed I should already know about using a Mac to root. I am guessing that since my computer recognizes my N6 in system report, that it does not need a driver, but since I am very much a novice, I wanted to ask.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Fair enough. In my adb and fastboot thread, there is a link to a tool that installs adb and fastboot on mac and that is literally all it does, so I don't think there is anything else for you to do. It seems to me that the issue may be on the device side, but unless you have parallels or bootcamp, I'm not going to be able to help you troubleshoot that.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksradio:
I did not. However, I was able to root and flash recovery using fastboot. I can't for the life of me figure out why ADB isn't working though. I stumbled across an article which referenced EasyTether and how that can interfere with ADB and I remembered a few years ago, I had used that app on a different phone. I looked in the folder mentioned in the article and sure enough, the file extension was still there, so I unloaded it but even that did not help. I am wondering if there might be something else associated with EasyTether affecting it, but have no idea where to look or even how to completely uninstall it.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I've done a ROM and I had a hankering to play around and have some fun again. This build is nothing super special but it is a base for me to work with and I figured I would share it with anyone who is interested.

This build is an almost 100% stock

odexed

ROM. The only difference from this and flashing a stock TAR is that this can be flashed through recovery and comes pre-rooted.

I'm currently working on a deodexed ROM for devs and themers to use as a base if they are so inclined but I'm having issues with my Java environment. :(

REQUIREMENTS:

You MUST be on a Lollipop bootloader in order for this ROM to work. I recommend flashing the OG1 Stock TAR and then Philz Recovery through Odin prior to flashing the ROM.​

ROM FLASHING:

- Boot to your custom recovery (recommended recovery is Philz Touch v6.41.6).

- Wipe Cache.

- Wipe Dalvik Cache.

- Wipe System and Data (Under "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to Install a New ROM" in Philz Touch).

- Flash ROM!

- Enjoy!

As a side-note I would strongly recommend flashing Tdunham's Debloat tool before running the ROM for the first time. It comes with a TON of bloat (thank you Sprint and Samsung!). You can get the Debloat tool in the attachments on this post: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/stock-rom-od3-android-l-deodexed-t3128908​

CHANGELOG:

OG1 Stock Rooted Odexed v1.2 - (Released 11/18/15)

- Changed root method to be consistent with changes in my Mostly Stock OG1 ROM

OG1 Stock Rooted Odexed v1.1 - (Released 10/7/15)

- Fixed issue with root access not sticking

OG1 Stock Rooted Odexed v1.0 - Initial Release (Released 10/6/15)

- Added Root to Stock Odexed ROM​

DOWNLOADS:

Odexed OG1 ROM

OG1 Stock Restore TAR

Philz Touch Recovery v6.41.6​

Enjoy!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
It says it comes pre-rooted.. It doesn't seem to be pre-rooted. I followed the instructions precisely even running the Dbloat right after flashing the firmware. What did I do wrong? Super SU won't function. Busybox won't install. What gives?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
Good question... Can you do me a favor and download Root Check from the Play Store and see if it shows you as rooted?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
I'm 99% positive it wasn't the debloat script. My guess is that for some reason root didn't stick when it was flashed. Can you try flashing the ROM again without wiping first? See if maybe flashing over it fixes it for you? If that doesn't let's try a clean slate with a full wipe and flash again. When I flashed it earlier I got root with each flash, I did it three times just to be sure prior to posting.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Cubit33:
no root

I'm also having issues with root. Root checker says the device is rooted, but no root dependent apps will function and I never get the prompt to grant rights. Dirty flashing the rom again to see if it helps.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

When I first did a wipe and flashed this rom, before rebooting my Philz recovery prompted a warning that the rom might flash stock recovery, do I want to allow this? The first time I said no, following the dirty flash just now I said yes and root appears to be working now. Possibly just a weird recovery bug?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
I don´t think you're doing a full wipe before you install. the remnant files are giving you root. Try formatting system before doing your install. I'm going to try formatting system before trying it again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
I found the source of the issue and have uploaded a fix! :)

Let's just say its not a good idea to work on two projects at once. :(

v1.1 is now available via the links in the OP. Thank you for your patience!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
OK I've done the dirty flash twice now. Once were I hit DISABLE and the other time I hit NO. Both times I ran Root Checker and both times it said it was not rooted.

Any Ideas?

---------- Post added 8th October 2015 at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was 7th October 2015 at 11:36 PM ----------

What root method are you using? maybe we should just run the root script you used. Towelroot, doomlord?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
I uploaded an updated build a few hours ago that should fix the issue. Have you tried that new build?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
Nope. I will give that a shot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dlbaker1179:
Thanks flashing it now and putting the phone back in the drawer, its my backup phone now that I got an S6. I do get it out time to time to play with it and see what's new lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
I did the ROM INSTALL WIPE. I ran the installer twice one saying NO after the reboot prompt and one saying yes. In both instances I did not have root and busybox was not installed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
Did you try it with the new upload? Version 1.1?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
Yeah That is what I was talking about. V1 installs busybox and supersu, but does not give root. V1.1 does not install busybox, nor does it give root.

I'm tempted to revert to pure stock and use the SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT to acquire root and make my own ROM distro. :p Nothing seems to be working right with these ROM. How are you testing your ROMs before deployment? Are you doing a full nandroid backup of your phone and a full wipe before testing these? Or are we the guinea pigs?

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

I would like to suggest that you publish the MD5 hash of your file next to the download link, so the we can verify that we have a good copy and that the downloaded file is not corrupt.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rwilco12:
You're definitely not the guinea pigs. :)

When I do my testing I will revert back to a 100% stock ROM by flashing one of my one-click Odin packages and then flash recovery. I then flash the ROM and test it out. While doing the testing I don't actually make a Nandroid, all I do is a TB backup that is then moved to my PC to avoid any cross contamination. I repeat the process a minimum of three times before posting.

To clarify a point - Busybox is installed when you flash the ROM. You don't need the app to install it. The app you normally see is a Busybox Installer. It adds the functionality to the system files the same way the updaterscript can (and in this case does) when flashing a ROM. Busybox is really just a bunch of fancy symlinks that create a "toolbox" in system\bin.

I'm not sure why you are having the issues with root, but myself and several others (I show the ROM has been downloaded 68 times) have had success with it. Where you are continuing to have issues, even with the updated version, I would maybe recommend you hold off on flashing this one and wait either for my Mostly Stock ROM I am working on or for another ROM that you like.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] micmars:
The rom works...the idea of an MD5 isn't a bad one, and I'm sure that the OP could add it...the dev provided a pre-rooted, stock rom that works as advertised...it's free for you to avail or no; however, the suggestion that he is deploying the users of this forum as test subjects for his own, untested work is untrue.

You want to not use it? Fine, they don't. You wish to make your own? Please, have at it.

But to come into a man's thread and announce that you'll build your own hewn from a toolkit, then distribute it, because his didn't work for you, when it's working for others, seems unwarranted at best.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stryke_the_Orc:
^ I cannot agree more with this. Use it or don't, but do not come into a developers thread and discuss making your own ROM, it's rude, disrespectful and completely unwarranted. Good luck on these forums with an attitude like that...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fbarcenas:
Thanks I got desperate and reverted to stock and rooted it with the Unified Android Tookit, and ran the D bloat script. I just couldn't wait any longer. Thank you for your hard work and patience anyways.
