[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LeeJS:
I got my Air 3G a few weeks back and have been largely impressed with it. £120 for a 3G enabled Windows 10/Android 5 tablet? Bargain.

I recently decided to get around to rooting it and then the problems occurred. I followed all of the tutorials I could find and none of them worked. The Toolbox, iRoot, vRoot, Kingroot - on device and from desktop - all said they'd worked but upon reboot none of them had.

I then tried to go straight to updating to a ROM with built in root but that didn't work either. Following the Toolbox instructions I got a "couldn’t find boot device handle" error, followed by the message "E:No valid installer medium found". I Googled them but found nothing useful. Hopefully anyone following in my footsteps will find their way here.

Eventually I discovered this thread and followed the instructions within. At last I was rooted.

Next I tried to install the Xposed framework using TecKnight's tutorial. This didn't work either, despite me running it both as an admin and from the command line directly. It said it had both times and Android even did its 'updating system apps' thing upon reboot, but the framework was nowhere to be found.

I still haven't got it working but all of these issues are leading me to wonder if there's something special about the model I have.

Should I try flashing one of the clean 5.0 ROMs? Is it even safe to do it given the issues I've had so far?

Any observations/suggestions would be gratefully received!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoprime:
you can write to any partition.. bootloader locked or not.. as long as you have root. but that doesn't mean the newly written partition will actually boot afterwards.

locked bootloader = bootloader checking for valid boot/recovery partition signatures.

if you do not have LG's signing key to sign TWRP or custom boot.img.. then whatever custom image you write to recovery or boot partition will not boot.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigalex:
Oh, I see, so there's a sort of DRM; nevermind, thanks for your clarification by the way :)

One last question: do you know if after the bootloader unlock any partition changes? I wonder if I could just change my whole firmware with an unlocked one, but I guess it's IMEI-dependent and an internal cryptochip would notice it and refuse to boot, right?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Savvy:
do you think it would work modifying the boot.img ( adding gov , overclocking, etc) using the any kernel method which extracts the img and modify the boot.img and then repacks it..or would that mess with the lg signing
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogroll:
What's stopping you from writing to the bootloader partition? Is it encrypted or something?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jens1969:
Could you please outline the steps necessary to exchange the dialer?

Thanks in advance.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigalex:
[MENTION=6488922]dogroll[/MENTION]: The bootloader is signed, so tampering with it will cause a bootloop, or brick the device anyway.
[MENTION=5854865]Google~Android[/MENTION]: Yeah, tampering with about anything will cause the kernel to know your device has been tampered, and it will complain about it in ways I just don't want to know (probably will surprise you with a nice brick).
[MENTION=2962403]Jens1969[/MENTION]: Yeah, and very happy to have been asked it: you can just install the Nexus 5 "Dialer.apk" you can get from any n5 firmware into the /system partition (it can't be installed into /data).

Doing so will cause, however, logcat messages about "hey, I can't find com.google.android.dialer.support library!".

So, you will also need the library, and you can find it in any gapps flashable package (I've used this one for example: CyanogenMod hxxp://d-h.st/dGPA).

The library is called com.google.android.dialer.support.jar and must be placed into /system/framework.

You also need to put the /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.dialer.support.xml file in place. Once I have a minute, I will make a package for it :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jens1969:
I tried the method found here. But my Google Phone FCs and I can't use it for incoming calls. Since my Bootloader is still locked (don't want to void my warranty), I can't use a Zip package. But I could extract the contents and simply copy files and change permissions.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigalex:
Yep, that's exactly what I did (and I forgot to mention the permissions thing that caused it to crash).

Did you check logcat to see why was it causing FC?

My bootloder is locked too, but still I was able to replace the dialer, so don't worry! :)

Just, remember to disable the LG dialer, and since you're there, debloat everything! :) (first line in the code below)

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrodgE:
I had the same question, as I'm sure many others have too, so I'm glad I found this post. So taking this a little further would it be possible to pull the bootloader from an unlocked device and overwrite the bootloader on a locked device? I'm a little unclear on the boot sequence so perhaps this question doesn't make sense. I'm running on the thought that the bootloader is "boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p38", or is it actually buried a bit deeper and not part of the file system at all?

Apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread (can be difficult to think of the right magic search phrase)

EDIT: actually it looks like the bootloader is "aboot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8"

Hello! I'm trying to root my LG G2 vzw, using ioroot. However, when I run the ioroot batchfile in Windows, I get the message:

Found VZW phone!

Checking OTA version...

We don't have an unlock for this Verizon OTA version yet.

Your phone is running VS98039A .

Please try the manual root method or

post your full device info in the thread

I don't know what pages "the manual root method" or "the thread" refer to. Is there a way I can either:

A) Revert my phone's ROM to the version it shipped with, so the ioroot utility is able to grant root access to my device?

B) Use some other method to root the phone?

I've been looking for alternate root methods. I tried Towelroot (installed the app, ran it, and it said "This phone isn't currently supported"). I also tried "LG Root" (their download site claimed to serve a file called "LG+Root.zip.exe" but really serves "LG+Root.zip.ace", which Windows cannot read).

Hey guys.

Ive done so many things to my phone and its all working :D but i have no idea to be honest what i was actually doing.

Hoping sum1 can explain in none techy what the idea of updating ur SPL, Radio, CID and basically any other keys words that are mentioned quite a bit.

Sorry if this has been asked, could really think what to search for.

radio is the embedded software which control the gsm radio

with time htc may update their radio stack to fix issues or

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sactgr:
I m getting slow transfer speed with in internal or external storage.

When i transfer somethimg from my pc to internal or external memory the transfer is fast!

But when i transfer something inside the internal storage it takes longer time, even doing the cut option takes time ,

For e.g - if i cut a 500mb file from internal storage and paste it in the internal storage area it takes about 20-40 seconds and sometime even more!

Same goes for my externa storage!

Mine external storage format is FAT32,

I Tried NTFS too, but didnt help

So could it be like its a software bug?

Or is it something else!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nindustrial:
I don't have a constructive solution to offer, but only to say I've observed this too. PC transfers to/from internal or external memory is super-fast, but within the OPX it's slow. Maybe they used a slow SD card interface?

So guys I guess I have tried all I know to get my device back to life after it has bricked while I was trying to flash the TWRP.

situation is like this MX4 international version with Flyme (Unrooted).

I am now have the device in boot loop for the past week with no end.

I have no recovery image so nothing happen when Volume UP + Power.

when I go to fastboot mode I have no devices in ( adb devices ) command..... but I do have the device listed using ( fastboot devices ) command.

I tried : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img using all kind of images original and twrp and patched with the same result ( Security Deny error 2017)

I tried : fastboot update update.zip using flyme or even Cm12.1 and in both cases I get error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt ... I have tried pushing missing files into the zip file but at the end of the day I got again : FAILED (remote: not support on security).

tried erase and again security deny as well.

tried to unlock the bootloader by the well known command : fastboot oem unlock .. unfortunately FAILED (remote: unknown command).

it would be great if someone tell me I can get my device back to life... I am searching for a solution for a week now with no luck.:(

Based on my internet search AT&T 5.1.1. is available since end of September. I have been hitting check for updates on daily basis however I keep getting a message that there is no update available. How can I get the update for my AT&T Galaxy S6? I am struggling with random freezing, phone dying issues and hoping that 5.1.1 will fix it.

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] BharatG90:
SOLVED

Well, I guess I made a goof up.

I was using parted to modify the system partition and the userdata partition. I did so and reverted back to the way they were originally

i.e 838 MB for system 403 MB for cache and the rest for the userdata.

I had made a TWRP backup of my system, data and cache, which I restored once I was done playing around with parted.

Now the problem is that I cannot install any new ROM using Fastboot or Recovery.

While using Fastboot and MI Flash Tool

I get an error when it tries to flash the system partition saying "Unspecified Error(0x80004005: Failed (remote: size too large)"

When I use Minimal ADB and Fastboot to flash system partition it shows success, but upon reboot its stuck in bootloop

When using Recovery to flash any rom zip files it gives me reads "patching system images unconditionally" and stays put. There is no increment on the progress bar or anything. I kept it that way for 2 hours and still not change.

When i chose to flash images instead of zips. There is no option to select the system partition via recovery.

Also everytime I reboot from fastboot to recovery there is an error stating "cannot mount /system"

to resolve this i Wipe the system partition and then its able to mount.

Also I am able to restore the Backup I made using TWRP after wiping cache, system, data partitions.

This is the output for the Print command in the parted utility

I have no clue on exactly what the problem could be.

Any guidance/solution/discussion welcome.

UPDATE:-

I made a little mess in recreating partitions, the system partition was 1 mb less than what it actually was

recreated it using the actual bytes [not rounded off] from the partition table in the fastboot rom

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doczyus:
Dear All,

I share my story with my Note 4 about the USB connection error:

So I had some problem with my Note 4, and the service changed the phone to a new one.

After that I tried to copy back my archived files from my Windows PC to the phone.

When I connected the phone to my PC (Windows OS), the Windows installed the drivers, but not connected to the Kies 3 or to the Smart Switch, and I didn't see my phone in the Windows Explorer too... Of course with the charging has not any problem.

Maybe at the service, the expert forgot to setting back the mode of the USB, and its not possible to set from the Android settings.

The Solution:

1. Go to the dialer, and type *#0808#

2. The upper section of the screen select the "AP";

3. The bottom section of the screen select the"MTP + ADB"

4. Press the REBOOT button.

After the rebooting, everything works fine via USB.

Thats all. :)

If you are knowing this, sorry! I am using Note 4 since 6 mounts ago, but former I never met with this problem...
[X Style (Pure) General] MattBooth:
I have a screen defect on my Moto X Style. Some red marks on the screen that have occurred. No physical damage has happened to the phone.

Details of the fault

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2atvxn7b5zlvo4e/IMG_20151110_122942.jpg?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mkyf8sm6sq6vs6g/IMG_20151110_122946.jpg?dl=0

Entered their live chat to sort this out. They requested images of the defect via email. I promptly sent the images.

Had to keep pestering for a reply for two days.

They got back and asked where I bought the device from. I replied it was from them and give them an order number.

Next reply said that as the device was more than 28 days old they won't offer me a replacement (which totally flies in the face of all UK consumer rights).

So I complained about this and told them about their rights and responsibilities as a retailer.

Their next reply pulled up the fact I bootloader unlocked, suggesting this invalidates the Motorola warranty - which is right, but doesn't release them from their responsibility as a retailer and doesn't affect my statutory rights.

I told them of the above and told them I want to exercise my right to a replacement (I still like the device and want to keep using the Moto X Style)

They give me the complaints address and told me to send a letter to them.

This is really unacceptable behaviour from a company selling in the UK. If I buy a brand new laptop and immediately install Ubuntu (which I would do) this would invalidate the manufacturer warranty, but not my statutory rights. So if I had a software issue, or I wanted help recovering Windows, I'm out of luck, because I voided my warranty, but if the hardware breaks, my statutory rights are unaffected and the manufacturer is bound by legal obligation to repair, replace or refund (depending on the timescale).

Lesson? Always buy from Amazon! They never quibble over faulty devices. Instant refund or replacement.
[X Style (Pure) General] slaytanic:
To be impartial as an outsider. If the warranty is voided due to bootloader unlock, they aren't under any obligation to replace, isn't that correct?
[X Style (Pure) General] gmillz:
I have the red thing also. And I didn't even bother trying for a replacement because I bootloader unlocked :/
[X Style (Pure) General] jeffreycentex:
In Europe and America, if the defect isn't software related (or hardware damage caused by a software issue), they are still supposed to fix hardware issues under warranty.
[X Style (Pure) General] slaytanic:
Thanks for the info :)
[X Style (Pure) General] MattBooth:
Yep, this, which is the case I'm arguing with them now. The agreement on the website that voids the Motorola Warranty is invalid as it tries to invalidate statutory rights (which only a statute can void) and is keyed towards American laws (mentioning the FCC, etc). They can invalidate their own warranty if they want, but not my statutory rights.

Interesting that someone else also had the red thing on the display. Clearly this is a fault with the device, because I only ever installed Google Dialer and AdBlocking on my phone. I didn't touch any low-level settings in any shape or form.

Alternatively, I had a Nexus 6 (also by Motorola) which ran like a dream and was running an unlocked bootloader. None of these issues, but the camera was appalling, so I thought I was getting a better deal with the Moto X Style.

I have the red mark also but it isn’t noticeable unless i force a fully black screen.

Hi, i'm in Spain and today I called Motorola because i want to send my Style for repair because my screen has a vertical line of pixels that got unnoticed until yesterday, uneven backlit and the left side of the screen has a darker shade than the right. Their response over the phone? The repair is almost sure out of warranty and its up to their technician to repair under warranty or not because i unlock the bootloader but i told them that the EU law covers hardware problems that are not caused because software modifications and they told me that i could try. One of the most infuriating things is that i have to pay to send them the phone and they will not cover this expenses, unbelievable . And the icing on the cake is that they will not inform me of the status of the repair until i'll call them 7 days after i send the phone, and they don't have a tracking system in Spain.

This is basically their way of saying they will replace my phone without prejudice. I was right, my rights have been upheld, but no-one is going to admit it. But, I'll take it. I get a new Moto X Style. Now the decisions is whether to keep the replacement or not, because I will want to root.

If I do buy a new phone, it'll be from Amazon.
