hmm

Seems it is a blocked imei. been reading a bit on this forum and something similar happened to another member..

Vodafone works for a while but then it crashes and you wont get contact with kpn vodafone tmobile anymore. only orange seems to work ok.

Must be a nicked phone. weird.. almost 100% sure that the phone isnt nicked.

Where can i check if an imei is reported stolen?

:mad:

UPDATE: strangly enuff the tytn now works again with my vodafone sim, but only on 3G? .. also i checked and the phone workes great on orange and t-mobile, kpn it does not recognize.. but why did it start to work again on vodafone?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Rahulsingh190:
Hello,

I booted into the fast boot/bootloader mode, and there instead of "athene", it displays "athene_f".

Variant - XT 1643

So, is it safe to flash the stock ROM(and other custom ROM's) which are available for XT1643(athene), on this device.

Cause I'm a bit confused, as to if "athene" and "athene _f" is the same thing, or has a bit different hardware.

~Thanks you.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] n3cta1:
The g4 regular is athene, the g4 plus is athene_f

Stock rom had to be for xt1643, but custom can be xt16xx

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nostromo76:
Hi everybody !!!

Well, as many of you may experienced, the Asus P525 has a low output volume through headsets.

I've been trying to solve this issue testing as many WM 5.x and 6.x as I can.

The result?, none of them increase the output!. This fact make me think there is a hardware or design problem.

One solution: recode music and videos increasing volume level (Db), taking special care in saturation levels (so you don't have frecuency distortions).

Another solution: buy a suitable headset which includes it's own pre-amp, so the low-volume signal from the Asus could be amplified. If you would like to try this alternative, I'll recommend the "Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset" (http://www.mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-hbh-ds970-en.shtml).

They work like a charm, and could be used with any Blue-tooth device (yes, it supports up to 10 devices simultaneously) with A2DP and other Blue-Tooth profiles.

If you have any question I'll be glad to answer.

Thank you all.

Thanks for sharing this app but where's your source code?
[Android Apps and Games] jisoo:
Is this not it? https://github.com/maxwen/android_packages_apps_OmniClock
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Probably. The version is 1.7.1 on Github and 1.0.1 here :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jisoo:
I reckon that's just an error in the post. The source builds to 1.7.1, and current Play Store version is 1.7.3. I'm sure Maxwen will push the updates to github when he has time.

This is a really beautiful app, by the way, and a massive improvement over the current AOSP version. It's always really welcome when people take to improving AOSP packages that Google has abandoned, and are nice enough to keep them open source!
[Android Apps and Games] avd:
Nice enough? I don't think you can close source modified open sourced software just because it's abandoned.

[Android Apps and Games] maxwen:
There is nothing like a build script

OSS version is only to built with ROM
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
You do build a separated apk file so there's something missing on Github. We can't compile it.

I suggested your app on F-Droid. Could you contact F-Droid team on this topic to help them building Omniclock?
[Android Apps and Games] maxwen:
No - this was your idea

And I am pretty sure they know how to build an app.

Also Android Studio is doing all you want so why you dont start learning doing things on your own?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Keep calm... It was my idea but it's your app... :rolleyes:

I already use Android Studio. F-Droid is a great app store for FLOSS apps so I thought it was worth mentioning OmniClock.

But hey, I don't care and will leave things as they are. Once again, there's a big difference between open source and free/libre softwares/people...

[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
Hi all,

I have a Wiko Rainbow Jam (which is provided with the stock rom "Wiko Rainbow Jam version 8", Android Lollipop 5.1 and the latest updates from Wiko), is about a week that I attempt to root my phone, but I am unable to do this operation, since I am totally unable to mount the /system as RW, and furthermore the bootloader is locked.

Firstly I found this method which consist to write/flash the TWRP custom recovery in place of the original one:

Root method 1

(sorry for the Google Translate link, but I cannot find the same how-to in English)

Which seems similar to this how-to

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63803008&postcount=5

But seems that these two methods will wipe/erase everything on my phone, and I would avoid this risk.

I also read that by flashing another custom recovery I will be unable to install updates from Wiko.

Then I tried this method using adb which is more simple:

https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/tutorial-how-to-root-an-android-device/

But when I launch the "adb root" command, all that I get is "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"; so I attempted various workarounds to "fix" adb, but all unsuccesfully.

I have to mention the fact that I have some skills in using Linux and the shell commands: maybe there would be a way to place the "su" binary on my Phone using Linux on my computer, by logging on the phone as root user, by acquiring the needed privileges?

Any help/suggestion/hints would be very appreciate! :good:

Kind regards.
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] robneymcplum:
I have a mtk6580 phone and also had the root issues, for a while I used kingroot, which rooted fine but I didnt trust it. Then I used supersume to get rid of kingroot which seemed to work but again, wasnt 100% it was all gone. Followed a similar guide to your first link which wasnt working. What worked for me was:

Download the twrp recovery .img file

rename it to recovery.img

open SPflash tools

add your own scatter file from your stock rom

deselect all the boxes except recovery

double click the recovery address box and find the renamed recovery.img

click download

plug your turned off phone in,

let it flash.

reboot into recovery

select reboot system

TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU

swipe for yes

reboot and you are rooted.

NO DATA LOSS
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
Thank you for this detailed how-to! However, for me, nor kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot and no other apk worked on my phone, so I will attempt to try your method, but first I have some questions:

1): On my phone, under SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTIONS, I can see the option “OEM unlocking”: I have to enable this option to permit the flashing of the TWRP img?

2): Is ok to download TWRP from here? dl.twrp.me/i9300/twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar.html

3): "add your own scatter file from your stock rom":

where I can get/grab such file?

4): "TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU":

so TWRP is already provided with the SuperSU utility?

5): To be sure to avoid any risk, here I have a backup of my phone, which was done using "adb backup -apk -shared -all"; in case of emergency I will be able to restore my phone using this backup?

Many thanks for your attention! :good:
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
Ok, seems that such file was available in the first link:

s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=53888272183191245346&t=5388827218319124534686744

is called MT6580_Android_scatter.txt , can you take a look and tell me if is ok?

Many thanks!
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] robneymcplum:
1) cant hurt to turn it on, however the phone will be flashed whilst turned off so dont know if its needed, but Im sure I wouldve enabled it.

2) and 3) I dont know what your exact model number etc.. is for your phone, so the twrp you would have to find and check yourself, go here: http://www.needrom.com/category/others/u-v-w-x-y-z/brands-w/wiko/ and you can try to get a twrp from there, and definetely get a stock rom. Use the scatterfile from an 'SP TOOLS FLASHABLE STOCK/UPDATE ROM'

4) yes

5) I dont know, I dont use adb and wouldnt like to say its OK. You can use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en which will make a TWRP or CWM backup of your entire phone which you can then flash in TWRP or CWM once they are flashed, or get all the data from the backup. I would advise to find this out before trying though, just in case. I personally didnt lose any data, flashed twrp in SPtools, took 5 seconds, rebooted, added SU, rebooted, took 2 minutes and everything was still there.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

it has to be a scatter file from your exact model of phone, as everything has to match, partitions, nvram...etc... loads of things that can go wrong if the scatter is wrong :(
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
I went there, but my model is not listed.. As I stated in the subject is a Wiko Rainbow Jam: if i search for Rainbow Jam is such link, no model is displayed..

I got the scatter file in the first link "Root method 1", where there is the how-to for my exact model.
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] robneymcplum:
ah right, in that case, its OK :)
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
Ok: it was painless differently from what I thought: now, following your advice (I used the TWRP and the scatter file from the first link) my phone is nicely provided with the root access :)

EDIT: was necessary to activate the “OEM unlocking” option under SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTION, without this option activated, I was unable to flash the TWRP recovery img.

Many thanks!

p.s: If a moderator see this post, feel free to add [RESOLVED] to the title of this thread, since I cannot edit the title.
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] robneymcplum:
Glad it worked :) lots of guides I saw also made it excessively complicated, this way took you what? 2 minutes? And am guessing all your data is safe and untouched.
[Wiko Rainbow Questions & Answers] Mister_Diamond:
Yeah, it took about 2 minutes, just the time to figure out that I needed the USB OTG cable with an usb mouse and to browse to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip file (as I said I used the TWRP posted in the first link, which doesn't work with the touch screen).

I want to say thank you again for your friendly assistance!
