[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aPexalpha:
Hi all,

I am currently experiencing a bootloop on my Chinese Axon 7. Some of you regulars may have seen me asking in other threads because I've tried to fix it myself, but I've kind of run out of options. Sincerely hoping one of you can help me out!!! I'll buy the winner a beer or 2, haha!

Back story:

Was on B07 with root (tenfar's tool) with locked bootloader and had some issues with the ROM. Like vibrating when I opened the camera and battery drops. So I decided to upgrade to B09. Placed the OTA on SD card and went to: Settings -> update. Worked fine. So I connected it to my PC and made a dump (tenfar's dump tool) of my recovery and boot and stored them. Then I ran the Tenfar's tool, the B09 version and it went like the last one. But when I booted I didn't have wifi, and other issues came up. So I thought: did I make a mistake? So I read it again, checked the COM port again... all checked out. And used Tenfar's tool again. After that it didn't even boot anymore! It plays the nice boot animation and then gets stuck on the end screen with all the pictures.

So after that I restored my dumped recovery.img and boot.img. This is when I knew something was wrong: it still didn't boot! I reset data/cache in the stock recovery: no boot. Still stuck at the end of the boot animation.

What I've tried:

- Flashing the stock B09 update.zip with TWRP.

- Flashing the stock B09 update.zip without updater-script 'assert' and 'get-prop' line. TWRP says 'update.zip is corrupt'. Doesn't install.

- The I put it on SD card and internal memory and tried updating it with stock recovery: 'sorry you cant sdcard upgrade'. That's all it says.

- ADB sideload stock recovery: 'cannot load update.zip'.

I tried different ADB versions, Windows and Mac, different drivers... I tried formatting SD card as FAT32.. Tried different SD card.. Doesn't make a difference.

TWRP log says it can't pass the Zip verification when I try that. If I turn that off it says re.product.name is wrong. But I checked build.prop and updater-script. It's the same! But somehow TWRP comes up with a different one. Also tried removing getprop and assert lines from updater-script. But then it says: ZIP file is corrupt.

TWRP log after trying original, stock B09 flash:

http://pastebin.com/cJivE2TK

Build.prop: moved from /system with TWRP:

http://pastebin.com/b6rryc2n

Build.prop: ro.product.name=P996A03

Updater-script:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "ailsa_ii" || abort("This package is for \"ailsa_ii\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "P996A03");

But TWRP log: ro.product.name=cm_ailsa_ii

So, yeah, I've been trying on and off for the past couple of days in between work and travelling. Got a back-up phone so it's not that bad. But I really like this phone! It's just been such a pain in the ass the past few days...

I tried researching online and reading all the XDA posts. It is my fault this has happened and feel such a newb for not being able to fix it myself :(

Many thanks in advance!

I am stuck in a position where I can restore my nandroid backups but get Error 7

when trying to reinstall any Rom on a2017u I was able to fix the unlocked bootloop

by the EDL method. The Rom's are the same as the backups. I think I tried to role back to B29 Causing the bootloop) and have had problems ever since.

Should I try flashing A2017Uv1.1.0B32_Bootstack_by_DrakenFX since the Rooms are all B32?

The B15 and B19 Nandroid's still Restore fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jabeth407:
Hello all,

i don't get onto forums very often but i thought this was a nice one to add to. i've rooted a few motorolas, a few ztes, a cat; i've also bricked those ztes, cat & a few samsungs. i'm dealing with two Axon7U's; one is factory MM-b29, the other is N-b35.

while screwing around with TWRP, i bricked the b35 (the b29 has been bricked for a month at this time) after i had it almost perfected. by perfected i mean a custom recovery & root user access fully acquired. with DrakenFX's {YOURS; thanks so much. i'm learning to get along with linux} extensive files created to save people from themselves i was able to unbrick the b35. albeit its CELLULAR DATA became unhinged; that's something i could've lived with except it was a loaner and had NO CAMERA! it's camera (along with the ability to push both volume buttons at once for say EDL mode...) was damaged having been beaten across a steering wheel several times. so with my newfound unbricking superpowers i decided to take another crack at the b29. managed to get it unbricked but couldn't get it setup with both TWRP & SuperSU without losing one, the other or, both. at times it didn't even boot up. i was doing pretty much everything cited above for reasons 'why'. best way to learn is by trial & error (if one can afford it).

the b29 is rooted right at this moment; i'm working on it as soon as i leave this posting. i used Axon7_EDL_Tool. i used Axon7root. i used MiFlash. i used Fastboot. I used ADB App Controller software too. back & forth i fought for three days mostly due to downloading glitches and i prevailed. i manipulated a stock OTA full system update.zip by happenstance and it Auto_Updated over itself. in other words it already had the same ROM installed. i don't know what it tested to realize it needed to update to what it already had. it didn't have CELLULAR DATA either. just like the b35, it broke somehow while flashing TWRP or SuperSU. funny thing is it still wanted to update that same ROM after it did. while perusing the system update setting(s) i noticed it had downloaded N-b15 and it wanted to update b29 AGAIN! i opted for the Nougat update. it did alright and appears to have fixed it's CELLULAR DATA too. i haven't looked at it since but i'm confident i can gain root user access with a minimal amount of effort.

The main problem i've had with dealing with bricked devices is the age of the file downloads. most of them are simply GONE!, expired links and whatnot. if i'd had a clear path say from a custom recovery and rooted boot image of my factory version or the path that leads to it, i'd have been fixed up long ago. i've found partial 'paths' if you will that almost get me there but no quite all the way. flashing images & zips through fastboot are different from their counterparts entered through TWRP or Emergency Download Mode which of course are both different too. three different ways to get into one's phone makes it almost impossible to keep them perfected.

i'm not sure i did what i'm supposed to regarding this thread. Thank you DrakenFX for your time & knowledge; you've saved my old Axon7!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jabeth407:
Hello all update;

b35 Nougat phone is retired. b29 managed to update itself to b35 7.1.1. however, its CELLULAR DATA is still broken. i haven't managed to figure out how or where it's broken so i cannot fix it.

what i'm trying to do now is flash Magisk instead of SuperSU and using a TWRP version 3.0.3-1. heck i've used all of TWRP's versions in my efforts to reacquire CELLULAR DATA.

crazy part is the phone knows its CELLULAR DATA carrier and freely displays all of its hookup info. this is very frustrating.

So I did have a note 7, but returned it because this phone is still serving me well. Not to mention the tinting on the note 7 drove me nuts.

Needless to say thia phone lags some or stops when playing games like final fantasy record keeper, yet it didn't lag on the note 7 with the 820 snapdragon. Is there any suggestions on what I should do? I'm stock rooted deodexed on marshmallow.

Is there any kernel or tweaks that people can suggest?

[LG G Flex 2] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi guys,

I'm not sure if the LG Flex 2 uses thermal-engine.conf to set its thermal values, throttling, etc.

or if it's set in the Kernel source.

But if the 1st is the case [MENTION=5627933]androidexpert35[/MENTION] 's currently developed thermal "engine" might be the solution:

[MOD][6.0+][ v1.7 ][THERMAL-TWEAK] SmarTemperatureX | The best balanced S810 Ever!

some settings might need adaptation for the Flex 2 but I'm sure,

after some careful tinkering the device should be able to stay cooler, sustain performance over longer time and might also offer higher performance than stock (even under Marshmallow).

Good luck :)
[LG G Flex 2] Pungasul:
Yes our device uses thermal_engine_8994 but how can we flash it on MM without root?
[LG G Flex 2] k3lcior:
Correct me if im wrong but this looks like simple init.d script so it could be easily run for example with http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/development/init-d-script-init-d-support-g-flex-2-t3399145

Obviously it need some editing because it's for different device.
[LG G Flex 2] Pungasul:
But we still need root on marshmallow to run scripts unfortunately.For lollipop we already have tweaked thermal config file but on MM,while tge ui is super smooth,gaming performance is horrible because of throttling.
[LG G Flex 2] zacharias.maladroit:
you need root, otherwise you cannot do these kind of modifications

That's not really a init script,

it's a modification file, system config,

so someone who knows internals should ideally grab it via

e.g.

adb pull

and inspect if there are any similarities that can be merged and then re-uploaded,

NEVER at all times run WITHOUT the thermal configuration,

otherwise the device might overheat or get damaged (there are some safety measures in the chip, etc. but still)
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/thermal-throttling-hotplug-settings-t3106165

This was already implemented almost a year ago..

It is really the limit to configuring the file..

The thermal config here sets throttling to higher values so reduces lag overall..but unlike anyother sd810 phones ..g flex 2 gets hot really really quickly..

So for gamming with the config in the mentioned thread gets the device to heat up upto 50-55 C overall..(core heating can get up to 70-80 C)

Only option is to customize the kernel but sadly no bootloader unlock for more than a year...
[LG G Flex 2] zacharias.maladroit:
If it already lags at default settings, something's really off (ROM or Kernel would need optimization) :confused:

actually the best with this hothead of a SoC would be to make it throttle earlier (http://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/mod-t3250283)

and then there's also core_ctl (CORE_CTL_HELPER) which can be set up via e.g. Kernel Adiutor or Kernel Adiutor Mod,

but that's probably nothing new to you and the others in the mentioned thread

Thanks

I got a refurbed apache from sprint, that they didnt require I send back when they replaced it with a mogul, is it still a clean ESN? or what?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
when you say you replaced it, did you buy the mogul new, or get it as an exchange trhough isnurance or some such?

if you bought the mogul then you own both phones, and the apache should still be clean

if it was an insurance replacement im sure the apache is flagged as lost/stolen/destroyed/whatever
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Zacharybinx:
Technically I bought it, like on my bill I paid for it, they just sent me credit for it. So, its probably tagged, they just didnt make me send it back, so I'm pretty sure it wouldnt be a warranty replacement.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] leetsauce:
AFAIK, an ESN is marked "dirty" when it's been reported stolen or lost. In other words, as long you didn't steal or pick up the Apache from some park, it should be clean.

[AT&T LG G2] michaelajensen1:
Hello,

I hate that my first post to this forum is to seek expert answers to a self-created emergency rather than to provide help to others in need, but I'm stuck and don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

Here's what I'm facing: I had my rooted LG G2 D800 running a custom KitKat ROM (Liquidsmooth, I think). Having recently gotten a new phone, I planned to re-flash my Liquidsmooth ROM on this G2, wiping all my files and setting the phone up fresh for someone else to use. Unfortunately, after wiping everything but internal storage in TWRP custom recovery and re-flashing, I found that I was neither able to download anything at all on my phone from the browser nor was I able to transfer files from my computer (the device showed up and I could see that it's storage was partially occupied, but clicking on it yielded a message telling me it was empty). After trying various fixes (including factory resetting the phone and reflashing the ROM), I decided to just see if there were any newer ROMs to be had. That's when I discovered that CM13 was now available for the G2. Since I couldn't download the necessary zips from my browser or transfer them through the file explorer on my computer, I used adb to push the appropriate files to my phone. They appeared in TWRP's "Install" file browser like I had hoped, so I was able to again wipe everything except internal storage and flash the CM13 zip and Gapps for Android 6.0. This is where things went south.

The thing that I didn't flash (despite my better judgement) was something called a "Bootstack" for LG G2. The guide I was following said to flash it, but when I tried to download it from the provided link, all I found was some kind of spam site. So, since I found another guide that didn't seem to mention anything about a bootstack (and since I had no idea what a bootstack really did), I rebooted my newly-flashed phone without flashing a bootstack. Doing so basically bricked the device—pressing the power button would sometimes cause the LG logo to flash for a second, but nothing I could do would boot the device into recovery. When I plug the phone into my computer, many Explorer screens pop up, each telling me something about how the device must be formatted before I can use it. Unfortunately, once all these drives stop mounting and I can open command line in the adb folder, typing the command "adb devices" yields no connected devices. Presumably, adb can't see my phone. My phone's problem seems similar to problems described elsewhere (like here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681089), but all the solutions seem to require some access to custom recovery or adb which I don't have. Is there anything at all I can try?

Thanks again,

Michael

This is not my ****ing day...

I installed Xposed Installer, I installed various Xposed Modules including GravityBox [MM], Advanced Power Menu, No Lock Home, KnockCode, Ad Blocker, and a couple of others I can't remember. I activated them and then rebooted as I was instructed to by the app.

And now my lockscreen only contains the numbers 2580 on the number pad when I try to enter my PIN.

Here's an image: http://i.imgur.com/5vTmUGD.png

And of course, for some stupid reason, the "Ok Google" method of unlocking doesn't work on the first unlock after boot.

So now I have no way of unlocking my phone.

Can anyone help?

I have 2 devices (Xiaomi Mi TV 2S 48" and a Xiaomi Mi TV 3 60") and I am having trouble getting GAPPS to install.

I do not have access to a custom recovery and the automated methods I do find fail for me at some stage or other. The odd time I can get it installed, it won't let me access my account.

One time I was able to get it all installed, but then the play store updated and showed a "this version of the Play store is not compatible with your device. Please uninstall updates" (or something similar to that). Uninstalling updates claimed to succeed, but wouldn't actually uninstall.

Factory reset later, I'm stumped. My current plan is:

1 - download PICO GAPPS for the Android version of my device

2 - Extract it to an SD card

3 - install the APK's

4 - move the APK's via terminal emulator to make them system (for the ones that require that permission)

5 - copy the lib files over from the zip

6 - cross fingers and reboot

Now, I am thinking that this should work, but I also don't know much about how the "flash zip" stuff works so I may be opening up a world of pain for myself. Plus side if I kill the android board, I can get a replacement for a lot cheaper than a new TV.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section; I did not see a section for "Xiaomi other" or "Xiaomi TV".

Anybody have any experience installing GAPPS manually from a stock ROM?

EDIT: So I did figure this out. There is a tool known as "Google Installer" that will install all of the google tools (and dependancies) including google play. After installing that, you just make google play store a system app and the play store works great.

Bad news - with the latest version of the play store, it will do a check on your device if it should be using the default play store or the leanback version (guessing the check is done by the device name in your account, but I have not verified this). Google installer installs an older version of the regular play store and it will auto-update. If your device requires Leanback and you don't have the leanback version installed, your play store will fail to start indicating you should uninstall updates.

hello xda developers!

I recently found on ebay a micro-USB to USB OTG , HDMI , SD card and i want to use it with my galaxy tab s 8.4 as a media center (mainly kodi)

I have few questions that i hope you can answer me:

what type of cable do i need (compatible to which phone)?

does it charge the tablet or i have to use it with the hub while it is discharging?

Does the Ebay MHL to hdmi from china give out good fps , image quality and respond time (screencast i too slow)

doest it send sound through cable?

Thanks for the help

You need MHL 3rd generation compatible. This generation also charge tablet. With MHL cable you get higher FPS, image quality same as on tablet.

[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] olster:
Dont get a MHL. Invest in a chrome cast its better and the quality is HD. Get the all cast app too as you can cast anything but the google home app lets you mirror your phone to tv.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Bart1981:
I can agree with this. I always used to have an MHL cable. And I also have one for this tablet. But with less and less tablets supporting MHL. Not many custom roms supporting MHL, it's way better to invest in a Chromecast. It's more furute proof. A chromecast is smaller (less cable). With a chromecast you can put your phone/tablet anywhere in the room, no restictions of cable lenghts. Etc.

That being said, I still need to get my own chromecast. :D It's going to be one of the first things I'm going to buy.

No problem. Read the full instructions and get the newest firmware.zips from this thread.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
That link will only update your firmware. You need to update your rom as well. You can use this guide that I wrote to get completely updated. Stage 2 is really only for people getting the error described in the thread when trying to get the OTA, so there's a chance you can skip that part.

Or, if you don't mind wiping your internal storage, RUU is the easiest and cleanest way to update. You can get the 1.80 RUU here and then update to 1.91.
