[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
actually the problem is not in the unlocking but in making a working kernel for this tablet... because you see... Lenovo released the "source code" so they won't risk being sued for breaking the opensource (kernel) licenses, yet what they released is crap, broken drivers (i had to download all the source packages from all the YT2 models because they didn't even un-tarred crap and each one was 400MB and move things around and still it wont do the job as it should) they intentionally crippled the mk files, removed others, stupid and not working configs and so on... driver files missing... you get the picture and this was intentionally (not to say that this is only the kernel, not a chance to see in their source whats even more interesting: the code for the libraries, binaries etc) i am not saying it cannot be done but the amount of work it requires... hmm does it justify? in the end there are few people on this tablets and even lesser with the knowledge/available time to try and do something that will look like a custom rom

i thought at some point in making a rom but the hassle and time required don't justify it (what would i have? except that it's trendy to have a costom rom) so i for one will stay on my Android+Linux combo but who want to go further has my help

a better approach would be to build a custom rom based on the stock kernel/initramfs, this way you will start having the drivers in order and do your custom system (while no longer used in these days still it was cyanogenmod's way of making custom roms in the past) yet this one too is difficult and requires lots of work (and again for what? what's the gain?) but this one is much more acceptable than the rebuilding all previous one

the secure boot is passed (pm and you will understand) but to what end? see... the problem isn't so much in opening the door but in what you will do once inside (and i am inside that room for some time now yet no better bed than my Linux+Android combo) but feel free to continue on the road..

this is not to discourage you but to warn you about issues others (me) had on the road you're stepping now.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cocacola2015:
Thank you for the reply.

You're right, going the route of compiling whatever Lenovo has put out, is not the most streight forward option, but I disagree on not putting Linux on this tablet. This is the biggest and highest resolution tablet I've seen, and having Android on it instead of a full-blown Linux distribution, is a waste. Things like X forwarding to use it as a thin clinet, does not work well, I've tried all options. The only viable thing for using this as a thin client, is to run Linux on it, with its native input methods on the display server.

The gain is not having to pay twice as much for a Microsoft Surface tablet to install linux on, with it even being lower resolution and smaller screen.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
well in this area [MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION] can give you more details as he is the one who loves X on this tab me i'm more like an Y type (aka windows gui/y) :) (i am happy with my openvpn and sshd) but again consider the unlocking part done and start collecting stuff for making your kernel :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cocacola2015:
Very exciting. Need to boot a compatible kernel with the provided drivers, as you also suggested, and eventually get a full fedora distribution up and running.

Since this is an x86 tablet, no cross-compilation will be needed so it will allow for more flexibility with getting tools into initramfs to make it bootstrap systemd, and eventually run a full distribution from the system partition.

Would be very interested if workdowg can also provide some input on the issue.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
as short as it was yet i still read it on fast-forward

i wasn't saying to not put linux on it (i have linux on mine too) i'm saying that putting ONLY linux was not worth (for my needs) the work required for (maybe i was too subtle :) ) i mean even if i had a full linux distro solution for my 1380 tablet i would still go for my current Android on Linux set-up that i have. yet, each has his own needs

oh boy it's getting late
[Thinkpad Tablet General] workdowg:
I purchased my tablet with intention of dual booting Linux and Android and eventually going with Linux alone (being x86 I thought this would be a piece of cake). Now after getting Linux running (with Android in a chroot).... My vision has changed. TTY Linux is great, I have so much I can get done when not home. Using Xsdl, X runs well enough ( I had wine installed to run a Windows app) and I don't think it would be all that much better on the framebuffer.

The problem ends up being.... (and it has been stated before).... Touch still sucks on a small screen! Android just excels at it. So for me, if someone were to develop kexecboot or such I would definitely play with it (proof of concept) but I'm positive I'd go right back to my current setup.... ssh and the Xsdl for X as needed are perfect.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cocacola2015:
Oh I see. The highest priority for me at least, is to get any linux distribution to boot.

Touch will probably work better on the larger screens, I've got the 13inch one.

---------------

So I got the latest kernel from kernel.org to boot but I'm not sure why it doesn't find the initramfs, I assume it has to do with it not existing on a partition, but being built into the boot.img.

http://i.imgur.com/IxdwXre.jpg

I'm trying to make it boot a live OS directly from USB, without initramfs. It's a bit difficult because I don't know how the block devices are named, maybe if anyone knows the kernel command line for booting the live linux using the custom kernel, using sdhci or normal usb.

Basically, instead of the normal LiveUSB sequence:

grub from USB -> kernel from USB -> root filesystem from USB

I want

custom kernel with android boot.img -> root file system from USB/SD card
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
there's something wrong with your boot.img, and from the image there not enogh info

link the boot.img you make
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cocacola2015:
What's wrong is you need the root= kernel argument, and I'm not sure how the block devices are named (For example, it doesn't have /dev/block/ like on the android kernels). The initramfs isn't modified yet, it's a custom compiled kernel with the source at kernel.org.

Created a boot.img that one can add root= kernel arguments to, to test booting from other media:

https://anonfiles.com/file/177753c2344c3c64c200cdb3803236bd

It has these kernel command line arguments built into the kernel:

oops=panic panic=360 vmalloc=172M debug_locks=0 bootboost=1 vga=ask i915.modeset=0 drm.vblankoffdelay=1 selinux=0 nomodeset ro debug noinitrd
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cocacola2015:
Another one with UHCI (USB2.0) driver, instead of xHCI (USB3.0), because it might not reach init sometimes otherwise when plugged in, for some reason.

https://anonfiles.com/file/d41f495d118ab1e5ccef961baeb1bcce

No command line arguments built into the kernel, all in boot.img, boot_delay= disabled

oops=panic panic=360 vmalloc=172M debug_locks=0 bootboost=1 vga=ask i915.modeset=0 drm.vblankoffdelay=1 selinux=0 nomodeset ro debug noinitrd root=/dev/mmcblk0

hey guys..

i need some part of this device..actually i need s5004 but maybe they can use the same parts..

is anyone can help me pls..?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SISN (DE):
Found solution!

With Kingroot (kingroot.net) it's possible to root X5004.

You just have to download the App, if it works too with Windows... idk

But with the app its working (Medion X5004 -MD99238):angel:

[solved]Medion X5004 Root

Using Kingo Root program

Downloading KingoRoot manufacture and installation and start-up

Connect the device to your computer via microUSB cable (I prefer the original cable)

Wait until Kingo detects vashe mobile device Android

We get the root

press Root (At the bottom in the middle)

We get the root

Wait until the process is completed and the device is reset

Do not forget to check on root

custom rom

So what about custom rom now? I rooted but there is no custom rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mwmcc:
Anyone looking to root Medion devices; kingo root does work. I've done three of them now, none have rooted on the first attempt. The most success I've had was in this order:

Dowload kingo root for windows

Download kingo root app. Use google, not playstore or you'll end up with kingroot, which would also work but annoyingly takes over your phone and not easy to remove.

Download root checker app

Developer options enabled, usb debugging and oem enabled

In settings/security allow for unknown apps

Now with a cable proven to properly connect your phone to your PC through USB, run the kingo root program. The phone can reboot a few times during the process, don't mess with it. It will either hang at 90% and say unsuccessful or give (false) hope of 'root successful'. If it says successful, run the root checker app to make sure, but don't be disappointed if it says the phone isn't rooted.

Now, restart the phone and run the Kingo root app. The fastest I've had one of these phones root was 1x root through windows and 2x root through the app. Apparently these devices take more effort to allocate the scripting correctly.

If you've run the phone through kingo root windows once and twice through the android app and still no success; run it through the windows root again. Eventually it will root with one of the two.

So just repeat: 1x windows, 2x apk, 1x windows, 2x apk until your root checker gives you the green light. Don't trust kingo root itself when they say root successful, always check it with a root checker app.

Good luck. Patience in a virtue.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] wilsons618:
I contacted Kidigi a month ago regarding this. They confirmed that they're working on replacing the original docks to meet the type c spec. Two weeks ago I got an email confirmation saying that a replacement has been shipped to me (free of charge). It's a waiting game now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Vref:
Any updates for the dock situation? I'd love to get one so I can resume using my phone as my bedside clock.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] wilsons618:
The replacement dock arrived with the correct type c specs.

Just be safe and buy from Kidigi? I'm sure there are a lot of out of spec ones that are still being sold on eBay or wherever.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Hindsight:
I'm seriously stressed from thrawling through forums making posts and as of yet I've got no answers, hopefully someone here can help me or discuss my problems.

Yesterday I tried rooting the ZF2 Z00A , Originally a CN 2.20.40.63. It went into bootloop.

At this point ADB does not recognize the phone but fastboot does.

I tried installing a non rooted rom via SD Card but I got a signature verification error.

Now it looks like my only option is to flash a pre-rooted rom via Fastboot as that still recognizes the device. However I cannot find a CN 2.20.40.63 or newer pre rooted rom, I can only find CN 2.20.40.61 ....... am I right in believing that this would not work due to .61 being older than .63? Would it matter if I flashed a WW rom that was .63 or later? Even if it meant the phone was buggy but then allowed me to unroot and install a stock rom I wouldn't mind, I just would like my phone to work again (I only rooted because there was random webpages and apps opening and downloading the whole time).

Please somebody help. Also my brother who is in another country has a rooted CN 2.20.40.63 phone, is there anything he can do?

[AT&T LG G2] andersonbracho:
Hello,

My LG G2 D800 AT&T suddenly stopped working with 4G LTE, I am from Venezuela with a service plan with Movistar and I already had my sim card ready to work with 4G also had a data service for LTE, in fact I was working with 4G for aproximately 3 months under Band 4(1700/2100) but one day without installing any additional software the phone stopped working with 4G.

I placed the sim card into a different phone and the 4G worked on that phone.

I have tried factory restore without any third part application, also included the company APN and it is still in 3G not in 4G.

I entered into the hidden menu and selected the BAND4, my android version is 4.4.2 but it doesn´t allow to select 2G/3G/4G or select any prefered network you can just search for available networks and if I do I just find WCDMA and GSM not LTE. The other option available beside Search for available networks is Automatic Selection which usually selects the LTE network but now just select WCDMA.

I also tried entering *#*#4636#*#* and try to select any prefered band but that option is not even listed, I think is the stock rom.

I don´t know what to do now, I have tried everything but I don´t know if I have to install a custom rom in order to get the option to select the prefered network. I would like to keep my stock rom because I use quick remote and some other application I know I won´t find in a custom rom.

I hope somebody can help me because the LTE data service are really expensive and I am not using right now.

Please I need your help!!

I installed only the ROM and was able to get data, 4G.

But I too got the browser and camera crashes.

I also received notice of a corrupt "samsung" SD card. I am not sure if anyone else was told what type of SD card they had that was corrupt, but I do in fact have a Samsung card.

I made a few calls, one to my VM, one to DMV. Bot h worked and the call to the DMV, although automated, heard my responses. So I assume in call mic works and in call sound worked for me too. (as well as direct dial VM by holding 1)
