[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimenezboy:
I have an unlocked LS980 (on CloudyG2 3.3 Lollipop 5.0.2, Dorimanx Kernel 3.4.111, and Baseband MPSS.DI.2.0.c2-00081-M8974AAAAANAZM-1). Am using it in Kenya. My phone loses 3G signal (on the Safaricom network) the moment I enter my house. I have to switch to 2G everytime I arrive at my place. Thing is, I also have a USB HSDPA dongle I use with my desktop computer on the same Safaricom network. The USB dongle reports a 3G signal strength of -76dBm [IMG="USB Dongle Signal"]http://imgur.com/Mo579rP[/IMG]. My phone, on the other hand, (am holding it less than a foot away from the USB dongle) can't even register a very weak -113dBm signal. It just presents me with an "Out of Service" message [IMG="Out of Service"]http://imgur.com/P90xpq7[/IMG]. I would really love to know what the problem might be, and if there might be anything I might to do remedy the situation. 2G just sucks.

You can change signal cable (black one). Probably there is a problem with it. This cables are too weak, be careful.

Hi folks,

I've just updated via OTA to MM.

unfortunately the new update remove some LP sound, indeed no sound exit from my moto E2 when I get a new email, a calendar notification.... indeed in settings I have: "Unknown default notification ringtone" under sound preferences

Does anybody have old LP sounds and want to share it with me?

I've tried to download LP stock ROM and extract it from the archive but without success; can anyone suggest me how to complete this task?

thank you

Flashing Help

I have an Onda Obook 10 and have a problem with aandroid side of it. The system UI crashes, all google apps have stopped.

I have the Rom for it but have no clue how to install it.

I have gone into recovery mode and cleared cache and done a factory reset but the errors still happen in Android. The Windows 10 side of things work fine.

Have you any advice or help you can offer,

Regards

Jon
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
Inside the ROM zip, there should be a Word document with instructions in Chinese on how to flash the ROM. It should basically say something like this:

1. Extract zip contents, put them in a USB drive.

2. Plug it in, and with a keyboard attached, hold down ESC and power on the device to enter BIOS.

3. Enter the Boot Manager, and select Internal EFI.

4. It should automatically start applying the ROM after a few seconds.

Be warned that this may wipe your Windows partition - this happened to me, but that may be because my partition table was somewhat messed up. Either way, be sure to take a disk image or backup of your MSR, C drive, and recovery partition (probably the last 3 partitions on the disk).

Widows swith icon

Hi Reinstalled android thanks for your help. the only thing missing is the icon to switch to windows. I think the partition is still there but there was an icon for switching but don't know where it's gone.

Any advice would be helpful.

Regards

Jon
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
Is the partition still there, or is that just free space you're seeing? For me, the partition was gone, with unallocated space in its place. If the partition is still there, then your job is relatively simple.

1. Make a WinPE recovery drive from another Windows machine, or just use a custom one (like Gandalf's WinPE, Google it).

2. Boot into it from the BIOS menu.

3. Load a command prompt.

4. Type "diskpart" (no quotes). Wait until you get a prompt like: DISKPART>

5. Enter the following commands:

a. select disk 0

b. list partition

c. select partition xx (where xx is the number of the Windows partition. If it's not labelled, it'll be the one about 36 gigs in size.

d. assign letter=c

e. exit

6. Now just run "bcdboot C:\Windows"

7. Reboot, and you should see Windows in your BIOS menu once more, and the button should pop up on Android as well.

If the Windows partition is not there, and it's just free space, things become more complicated. You'll need to get your hands on the Windows installer image. There is an older version on the Onda website (December 2015) that should do the job - or rather, there's a link to their Baidu account. You can find the more recent version in their account as well. The issue is that Baidu doesn't allow you to download files that large without installing their crapware. I got around it by registering an account and some URL-fu, but it's a PITA, especially if you have a slow connection. There's a Yandex mirror somewhere, but I'm not at home, so I don't have the link right now. I'll post it when I get back. EDIT: Here it is.

After you get the files, DON'T install it; it might wipe your Android install (did for me). There's an issue in their install script that made the command that hides the Android partitions from getting deleted not work. What I did was terminate the automatic install, and selectively apply the relevant portions of the script manually. You could probably do the same, but it could take you a while; took me two days and a bunch of background reading. If you're used to messing with Windows installs though, it'd probably be a cakewalk for you. I'd prepare some instructions for you, or even try and write a script myself using that one as a base, but I have exams right now, and I wouldn't have time for at least a week. If you haven't figured it out by then, just ask, and I'll do it.

Hi

I have the Gandalf ISO file but need to understand from where do I go from the bios..like boot into the file?

regards

Jon
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
I don't remember exactly what it's called, but I think it was the second menu entry - Boot <Something>. In that menu, you should see your USB drive USB EFI device or something like that listed - it might also show the manufacturer name (it showed my USB as a Sandisk). If you don't see it, you may have made a mistake when making the bootable USB - try it again while reading the instructions on Gandalf's site carefully. If you used Rufus to make the bootable, maybe try Unetbootin this time - it worked fine for me.

P.S. In case you meant boot into the file - you can't. You have to write it to a USB drive first. Instructions are on the same site you downloaded it from.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
Install? Maybe, but you wouldn't have any of the necessary drivers, so touch and WiFi and stuff wouldn't work. However, you can download the drivers and try installing them, which might work, though it probably won't since they're made for Windows 10.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
Depending on certain things, you may be able to just run the installer without doing anything extra. Are you able to boot into Android? Open a CMD window, and run the following commands:

1. diskpart

2. sel disk 0

3. list partition

Post the output of these here. A screenshot will also be OK.

Hi Have the same problem i'll follow your instructions

I download part1 and 2 from windows 10 folder.

My android install work perfect !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
When you extract that, you'll get a bunch of files and a DOC in Chinese explaining the procedure to make the recovery disk. Once you've made that, a WARNING before you boot into it: it will automatically open a CMD and start a delay counter, after which it will start the install automatically. Since this might break the Android side, you'll have to cancel it with Control-C in that delay period, which will give you a normal CMD to work with. You can use this to run the commands from my last post. If you want to be extra safe, also download a different WinPE recovery file (like Gandalf - actually you should download this anyway, it has some useful tools you might need later on), and boot into that instead. Depending on the output of those commands, you may be able to just run the automatic installer without worries.

obook20 crashed

hello all,

my obook10 is in black screen with word shell>> on it. it crashed from android, how i can restore it ? please help!!!:(:confused::confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
You are probably in the internal EFI shell. Power off, connect a keyboard, and hold Fn+ESC while turning it on. This will get you the BIOS menu. Select Boot Manager. Normally, you'll see Android and Windows entries, and you could select one of them to boot, but in your case, you might only see Internal EFI Shell. If this is the case, follow the instructions from my earlier posts, and post the output of those commands. Depending on the result, it might be an easy fix, or a difficult fix. Hopefully, neither of you needs the difficult one, but if you do, I'll try and make a guide when I get time. In the meantime, post the output of the commands.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirVer:
Just press it down for a long time, at least 10 seconds, that'll do it. For some reason it takes a really long time to force shutdown. If that doesn't work, then there might be an issue with your hardware. Also try typing the "exit" command - it should put you into the BIOS menu directly.

I don´t know because I can't enter using power+ Vol -. If I used that I only get a error loading Android. These tablets have random problems for users XD

I enter to BIOS using a keyboard with the Esc key or when I get the error confirming the message and in the shell writing exit command.

Better if you use a keyboard because with a black screen will be hard to know where you are in the options and using the vol buttons is a lottery because when you press a button sometimes change the option or not or change fast to other option and with a keyboard you can control with more precision.

Are you using only Android? or where are you seeing that space? Normally that space is available for Android and the rest for Windows.

Try using GParted Live to check the disk for errors. If not try deleting the partitions table but doing this will delete your OSs.

Stock images for these tablets in my(And mostly people) case Obook V5 never worked also recovery partitions was the same problem. To install Windows I used some files(WIN files) from the stock version but booting with Gandalf ISO. You can try that method, read previous message in this thread and yo will see the steps, some comments from the person how created this thread will help you(helped me) and another comments that I wrote maybe will help you.

As I said try using GParted Live to check the partitions table or to delete all and see if you can recover the missing space. In my case I deleted all partitions including the recovery because the recovery partition not worked. Remember that all steps are for V5 but maybe can work for you.

One more thing: I've managed to figure out getting root on Android for this device using the Dirty Cow exploit, and it should work on any version of the device (V3, V5, etc). As far as I've been able to tell, this is the only way to get root on this device. Unfortunately, I don't have time to write up the guide right now - I'll try to put it up in a new thread in a month's time, if possible. Basic procedure for anyone who wants to give it a go and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty:

Get a Linux install (VM should work, as long as it can interface with USB correctly)

Install the Android NDK

Use this script (https://gist.github.com/Arinerron/0e99d69d70a778ca13a0087fa6fdfd80) by Arinerron on GitHub to get temp root

Do NOT try to copy any su binaries, it will not work

Use dd to make a backup of your boot, recovery and system partitions

Use the bootimg tools (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2319018) to unpack the boot image

In one of the files in the ramdisk, there is a secure shell flag that you can set/reset that will make any adb shells root by default (Google it) - set that to the proper value

Repack the modified ramdisk along with the zImage obtained from unpacking

Use adb to reboot to fastboot mode

Flash the modified boot image (you may have to run "fastboot OEM unlock" first)

Reboot and adb in, and you should have a full privilege root shell

Download a TWRP image for the Teclast Tbook10 - its hardware is basically the same and will work on this device, minus touch

Use dd to write this recovery image to the right partition

OR you could try flashing the recovery through fastboot, which would not require a modified boot image, but IIRC this did not work for me

Put a SuperSU zip in your internal storage

Boot into recovery via adb

TWRP should come up

Touch will not work, so plug in a mouse and install the SuperSU zip

Reboot and you should have full root access

Using this method, Xposed, and perhaps even Magisk should be possible to install (though I have not tried this).

Please note that this will likely not work on any other device, and will definitely not work on anything with Marshmallow or higher due to dm-verity. If I'm right, the only reason it works on this device is because its SElinux is permissive (not completely though, otherwise the process would not be nearly as complicated - it still has some of the protections even though it says permissive, I don't know how or why). However, there is a chance that it would work on a device with an unlockable bootloader - I don't know right now.

Like I said, I'll try writing up a more detailed guide in a month or so.

How did you install kubuntu on SD ? Can you give me instructions .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuxerito:
Is like installing Kubuntu or any Linux distribution on a PC.

The easy way

Creating a LiveUSB with any Linux distribution in my case Kubuntu

You need a HUB USB to connect the USB, mouse and keyboard. With this you can test the LiveUSB on the tablet booting from the USB

To install the OS on a SD you need another USB(MicroUSB/SD or external hard drive) and when you are in the LiveUSB mode you can use the install option on the OS and in the installation wisard selecting the SD as the destination drive.

After the installation finish you just need to boot with the SD where the OS was installed.

I had problems with the MicroSD slot on the tablet I don´t know if it is broken but not reconize SD memories so I used a USB adapter for a MicroSD to install the OS there.

Testing/running a Linux distribution on the tablet may had some issues, for some distros you can get black screen on boot, this can be solved using the flag nomodset in the boot params. other issue is the Wireless because by default it is not working(maybe using the Windows driver or using an external adpater I used a Wireless adapter) also the touchscreen is not working.

I just was testing what I can do with that tablet because with the internal disc broken there are not many options. I also tried using a LiveUSB with Android to avoid using mouse/keyboard but the ROMS that I tested just got me boot loops while the OS was loading.
