I have recently aquired a Gionee W909 from China,

its running a Mediatek MT6755.

Since this phone is currently only available in China, the stock rom AmigoOS sv1.2 is the only rom I can find for it. and its based on lollipop 5.1

The phone comes without any gapps at all. Since I am using this in North America, I need all the gapps installed.

Kingroot works on this phone, so my phone is rooted with kingroot, trying to install gapp

I have googled a few articles saying install google framework, login service, play service, and then install vending in system/app via RE, and then install play store.

all the methods relating to downloading the service/framework apk, and then putting vending in system, have all failed catastrophically.

all of these ends up with a "service" has stopped working, and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", i've tried installing everything in system/app, or some in system/app, always made sure chmod is rw r r, and nothing worked.

I have also been trying to flash tk gapps and open gapps, downloaded ver 5.1 tried both 32 bit and 64bit. The stock recovery menu has an option to flash a zip onto it, it just doesnt read the tk gapps or the open gapps, the installation always terminate after a few seconds.

so i wanted to flash a twrp or a cwm recovery onto it, but there isnt one made for this phone yet, so i found another gionee phone, gn9007's twrp recovery which was on a chinese site, and tried to flash that in with its own one click flashing software. and it failed. Which seemed to me that boot loader is locked.

so I installed drivers and adb and fastboot.

when i tried fastboot oem unlock, the phone did prompt me and ask me if i wanted to unlock bootloader, and i pressed volume up/yes, and it gives me an error saying unlock operation is not allowed. none of the other flash oem commands work, such as flash oem device-info or flash oem get_identifier_token or get_unlock_data

so now im stuck trying to install gapps on this phone.

any idea is welcome.

thanks

Why are virtually all android head units 4.4.x? I was looking at several options for my Evo and up until recently 95% I found was 4.4.4 pretty much. Joying recently came out with a 5.1 2DIN unit which I may end up with. I am also looking for some sort of dual/piggy back system (need to retain full functionality of the stock unit) in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee and came across this guy : http://carperformance.se/?product=uconnect-8-4-android-system . I've emailed back and forth with the sweedish guy that does it, responses are obviously not the best translated but it also uses 4.4.4 and he said it will not be updated in the future. Considering this is 2-3 years old I'm confused why it's still so heavily used in new devices. Is there some benefit it offers, is there wider hardware compatibility, or what? I really like the carperformance product, price is high, but on par for that of a new phone. However, I can't see dishing out money for a 2-3 year old OS that will never be updated, and then in 1-2 years stop getting app updates because its no longer supported. I'd consider getting the unit and digging into it to see what can be done, but I have to imagine there's a reason/limitation that he can't update it so it may be a waste of money. If I could find a way to duplicate what he's done with the touch screen switching board I'm sure I could come up with an android box running a more recent OS, but that may be another thread.

[Connected Car] the.root:
I have not seen that specific thread, looks like a decent HU, will consider it for my one car where I don't need the factory unit. I guess my question would be better stated "why up until recently is all HU's KK". Still 95%+ of them. They are just really slow to adapt and most of them won't get updates. I just don't really get how it's still a marketable item. Maybe all apps will keep supporting KK for another 5+ years, I don't know. I doubt it though.

I had briefly looked at the mimicsLT but as far as I can tell it doesn't actually switch between two devices, it just bridges an android box to a touchscreen and gives some input options. I like the mimicsX2 but it's been outdated for a while, they've been saying a new version is "coming soon" for a while. I'd prefer a dedicated android box (that's 5.x or 6.x) over a mirror but I'd probably be fine either way.

I was considering getting the CarPerformance one and seeing if I could somehow hook my own android box into it or upgrade his, I feel like it's just going to be too much work or just not possible at all, and too much money sunk into it.

Just don't get why the car world for android is still so small, and why it's stuck on KitKat (I doubt there's been any new phones with KitKat for 1-2 years now). I was hoping there was a good answer and it was somehow hardware compatibility related or something, but maybe not.

Thanks for the response!

Hi all.

After manually upgrading to MM and rooting the phone, i started getting "Service disabled" message on my lock screen.

I have signal when message is displayed. I receive calls and messages. What can the problem be?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
Just ordered my HTC 10, excited...and nervous as I've not had a new device (like long term) in... like over 1.5 years. :S I'm mainly hoping the microSD card slot likes my 128GB U1 x633 card so I can finally have enough space for all my vinyl rips, and then I hope the DAC is as good as they say.

So anyway, I've been reading all of this stuff about rooting and loosing the radio connection and something about the data encryption breaking everything O.O!!! Holy crap. I just wanna root it, find a good rom and dev to support and enjoy it. This is what I do on my current daily driver, my old OPO. I've been trying to look around, search, and read to make sure that I avoid all of these issues mentioned but so far I've not found a concrete explanation of why said issues happen. Not new to rooting/flashing at all, but HTC devices always seemed to of been touchy when it came to custom stuff, and I don't want to explode this thing. My main problem is that I've been away from HTC for.... well since early 2014.

My current knowledge of android stuffz tells me to:

1) Unlock Bootloader via ADB

2) Flash TWRP/Other Customer Recovery

3) Find sweet rom, flash and spend hours customizing

4) Flash xposed and go crazy with modules until the phone explodes and then scale it back to a realistic level

5) Enjoy Phone

6) Cake

HOWEVER... I remember HTC devices having a bit more complication due to things like... RUU and firmware.. I don't even remember what RUU means lol... But I remember when I had my M8 I was always fighting these dang firmware issues. While I ended up with a fantastic experience, I remember fighting for almost 2 months or so to get it to behave. Battery was out of control, phone was crashing, camera exploding. Oh man it sucked, but finally someone really cool was like... "Yo dude I had these issues, this is what you have to do with HTC stuff" , and after a full hour of flashing shiz I had the phone running smoothly and behaving correctly. Something about... you had to flash each level of the firmware and then reboot and...something. Like you couldn't just skip to the latest firmware? I don't remember exactly.

So anyway, the main question I have is. Could someone either

A.) Point me in the direction of a post or something to study to understand what to do and not do. I've searched but not really found anything solid. Something for folks who've been off the HTC scene for a while.

B.) If there isn't really a single post on this, perhaps if someone doesn't mind explaining this (even pm is fine) to me so I don't explord this expensive mofo and cry.

C.) Give me a hug, because I am nervous about having a new device O.O , it's been so long and I'm so used to Cm13 and xposed and all that jazz. I is be scared.

I would be grateful to any and all help/support.

Anyway, thanks in advanced guys and gals. :3
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
I was in the same boat haven't owed an HTC since the Fuze running Windows lol and have been a loyal Samsung user since the S1 so the whole adb fastboot thing was a little overwhelming. I followed the guide in the forum and had a few hiccups but overall went pretty smooth. Adb is definitely not as user friendly as Odin on a Sammy device but not to difficult. My only tips would be make sure you have all the latest drivers, twrp, and adb installed. It seems pretty hard to permanently brick a device these days from my experience so I wouldn't worry to much. As far as the radio not working, as long as you keep your device encrypted you won't lose your radio. I'm sure the devs will find a fix for this soon enough. Enjoy your new 10!

Edit: I'm using a lexar 128gb 633x U1 micro sd and all is well. Worked with adoptable storage also but felt a little sluggish so I went back to using it as external storage.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
Well I am comfortable in adb :3 so that's not a worry. So un-enecrypting it is just an option, and I should just avoid it for now? What is the advantage of un-encrypting it?

What guide did you use? Also, what about all this firmware and ruu stuff?

Sorry for so many questions... Lol this thing wasn't cheap and I am nervous :eek: , BTW what setup do you have? Root? ROM?

Thanks for replying :3
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-root-optionally-s-off-radio-t3373025

From what I understand unencrypting breaks the radio. With it unencrypted you would get slightly better performance and boot times I think. I would definitely avoid it for now. I'm currently using twrp with Viper 10 rom. I've also used leedroid and still trying to find which one I prefer. I've only had my 10 for 3 days lol so I haven't found my sweet setup just yet. I left s-on for now as I don't really need it off.

No idea about the firmware and ruu stuff. I made a backup of stock rom before I started flashing. I'm pretty sure there is or will be a repo with factory firmware, radios, etc. I don't know what ruu stands for either lol.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
Alright neato, so do I need to ensure I let it download any and all OTA's for the firmware before doing anything? Is s-off safe to get as well in regards to the issues I referred to in my OP above?

And his is this viper? Does it allow things like settings similar to cm and also allow for xposed?

Thanks for replying man, I feel more comfortable now as it sounds like there isn't anything crazy required to safely root this thing :). Phew!!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] DroidIt!:
I got an M9 for my wife not that long ago and just had my 10 show up today and gonna root. :) Just do like the other dude said. Find a guide that says how to use HTC dev to unlock the bootloader. You can't just enter a command in adb like "unlock bootloader" and have it work. Go to the HTC dev website, make an account, pick your device and it walks you through the steps of unlocking the bootloader. That's really the only semi-difficult part IMO. Then proceed as normal. Download twrp, make a stock nand, download ROM, su binaries, kernel, etc. etc. go to recovery and flash. I'm sure there's a couple other steps in their but that's the basics.

As for Viper, it tends to come with so many mods built in, I'd personally be kind of reluctant to use xposed with it to to much modifying. It's a great ROM, but so is leedroid :) You can try each and see what you like, but if you want to more safely use xposed I'd personally go with leedroid. ;)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
Oh right, I do remember about the whole HTC dev website thing. I was mainly just concerned with the firmware issues and stuff that I had before.

Is there any kind of limitations for reasons not to upgrade to the highest available firmware? Something like, maybe the highest one can't be rooted yet or something like that. I just want to make sure that I don't shoot myself in the foot haha.

Thank you all for your help
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Devzz:
Hey, I'm not sure about firmware not being able to be rooted but the best way to go about it (what I did anyway) is to unlock the phone via htcdev.com, flash a custom recovery (Latest TWRP which has also worked around the encryption stuff?) and then back up everything other than the data partition. That way, no matter what you do, you always have something to revert back to. The reason for not backing up data is due to the encryption. From my understanding, restoring an encrypted data partition would break things. Once you have the phone unlocked and recovery sorted, you are free to flash viper etc. and root the phone using SuperSU. I'm sure you are aware unlocked devices are quite easy to root so whatever you flash will most likely be on latest firmware, already rooted.

As for installing OTAs etc., you need unmodified system and recovery which is where the backups kick in. Simply back up your data on an SD card (pictures etc. not the actual partition) and restore the system-image and recovery. This should reset the phone although I'm not sure if it'll wipe anything and allow you to do OTA updates. Alternatively, get the latest firmware for your device from htcdev (again, not sure if they have firmware on there) and use that instead.

If any of the information above is incorrect or missing steps, someone feel free to correct me.

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to Android, XDA and rooting. I already learned a lot and I'm currently setting up my new HTC 10 with systemless root so I can easily get OTAs. Now I also want to change the system font and install a custom kernel for performance and battery life but I can't find if these two things will influence the systemless root. I want to install the font through flashing a zip file in TWRP and install the custom kernel with a kernel manager. Am I still able to easily apply OTAs with these two things if I install them the way I just described? I hope somebody has the answer. Thanks!

The phone automatically started to download an update (even though it was not set to do so) and upon resetting became stuck on a black screen with the notification lights blinking blue and red. I can restart the phone but once I do so the update automatically begins to start downloading the update again; even when I put the phone into airplane mode and disable wifi. I have tried to do a factory reset but that just makes the screen go black and the blue/red notification lights start to blink

I have no installed any custom roms or the like; I just use Kingroot in an attempt to get rid of as much bloatware as possible.

Is their some way of stopping the update from running whenever I boot up the phone so that I don't need to completely wipe everything and loose all my data?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dksoni411:
People love to get update specially in case of D850 we get an update and you want to get rid of it. Why don't you simply, first, unroot it. Then get update and enjoy the new features.

By doing so you will also get the (maybe) final update for LG G3 on your d850 variant...
