[XDA Assist] LarryLarrson:
Hello at all,

I want to get TWRP custom Recovery on my Oukitel U7 Pro. I searched the Net for some instructions to get twrp on MTK-Based phones, but the SoC (MT6580) in my oukitel u7 pro isnt supported by the known tools.

(Basicly ADB is needed, but these Tools dont recognize the Phone even if all drivers etc. are set properly up.

The only way to push/pull some data to/from the phone is a flashtool (SP Flash))

In this thread is an instruction how to Root and get TWRP, but it is for the Oukitel U7 pro with ddr2:

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/oukitel-u7-pro-rooting-twrp-recovery-t3299954

Mine has ddr3, so this doesnt work for me because ddr2-roms and ddr3-roms are not compatible with each other.

In the thread mentioned above, the op had a ready to flash TWRP recovery.img (probably from a russian Website) so there must be a way to implement TWRP on phones with MT6580 SoCs.

My question is:

Who ever created this recovery.img, what is a possible way how he did it. Can you point me a direction so I can try to create a TWRP recovery.img which is working for Oukitel U7 pro with ddr3.

Thanks in advance

Regards Larry

hello people im about to buy an n900 from t mobile.

im from portugal and i want to use it here.

what stock rom can i use to nearly get portuguese use?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] oops675:
Do u mean what custom rom or stock rom?

N900 does not have much choice of custom roms and the performance of each device will vary ROM wise.

For custom roms, stay away from any chinese variants like MIUI, FlymeOS etc. They are not feature full.

Aurora, Dr Ketan, Dilshad and ABasher are worth trying but which ROM will suit your device (based on ur usage), you will have to try out to judge the best.

If you want to stick to stock, be on latest firmware to keep it up to date.

Hope that answers you.

Hi everyone,

I recently gave my girlfriend my old Droid MAXX, which she converted from Verizon to Straight Talk. Texting and calling works fine, but she is unable to use the internet unless she's on WiFi. I've been digging around all day and I'm really struggling with fixing the issue. A lot of sources are saying that you need to change the APN settings after replacing the sim card, but it seems that we are unable to do that. The only option we get under "Access Point Names" is to "Restore to Default". We can look at the current default ones, but can only change the name. Does anyone know what we need to do in this situation?

Hi guys,

Looking for a little advice - I'm currently on build EU1.1.87a and recieved the notification for 1.1.124b and I'd like to update. I'm currently rooted and using TWRP recovery. I'm running Xposed with a few tweaks - gravity box mainly. What's the best upgrade path for me? I'm reluctant to wipe again, I've only just got things set up again nicely after the rooting process.

Cheers!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osm0sis:
No USB is bad, very bad. Suggestive of something bigger gone wrong bad. Like you corrupted the bootloader or something since fastboot doesn't work.

My only thought is this: So you've probably got root? FlashFire stock boot.img and system.img from the latest factory image and have it format data and cache. Allow FlashFire to do its EverRoot thing to retain root for the case it doesn't work. Since it's a Nexus, if that doesn't work you could try FlashFire to reflash the latest bootloader as well. Nothing really to lose at this point. :(

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I flashed an N system image that doesn't wipe data, seemed to fix perms up mostly. Not having issues accessing things, but some displays odd in /root still. Things are all working now, though. I restored Nandroid from before messing up perms and rolled back to my MM AOSiP backup after lettting system image do its thing. As for USB - it's actually hardware failure. The port goes in and out. It's been getting bad a while but recently it's unusable most of the time. I can charge if I let phone sit upside down, but data connectivity doesn't work on computer anymore obviously. Does that indicate anything more than actual USB port itself being messed up? I hope not haha. Thanks for the reply!

Whether it's from fast-charging, using cheap cables and chargers, or both, batteries don't like heat. Since my Note 7 was getting pretty warm with fast charge, I turned it off in settings since I don't really need it most of the time anyway. Note 7 no longer gets warm while charging.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh.note:
I don't know what purpose the people are using their phones for (the ones who's phones have exploded). If they're using their phones for regular purpose and within the guidelines and then the phones exploded, then it is serious.

There could be many reasons for the explosions and the supposed bootloop/bricking issues. Use of non-compliant cords, charging after testing it out in water, more power supply to the phone than its safety limit, etc.

People testing out the phone in water for no reason seems ridiculous to me. Just because you're wearing a helmet and safety accessories doesn't mean you should purposely get into an accident to test out the gear.

Getting warm has nothing to do with it.

Li batteries can be cool as an ice cube one minute and burn your house down the next.

Look up what Li ION venting is. It can happen because you don't charge the battery.

It can happen because you have a failure of the protection circuit.

It can happen because your charger charges a few tenths of a volt too much.

It can happen because you let the battery run down too low.

It can happen from a bootloop on your phone

It can happen for a lot of different reasons. I charge and have a lot of Li batteries, I have a bit of a Flashlight fetish...

I only buy top notch expensive batteries from a known good vendor, there are a lot of counterfeits out there. I only use top notch chargers for my batteries. I always know what current flow I charge my batteries with and adjust it to suit the capacity.

Even when charged at a fairly high rate, most don't get but barely warm while charging.

A lot of the battery "explosions" happen from a high rate of discharge or an over discharge. The Hoverboard and Vape battery issues are from someone cheaping out on the batteries or management of the batteries or getting counterfeits.

Li batteries are dangerous -- period

They are much more dangerous if they are poorly engineered or poorly managed or both. You can have a good battery that has a circuit that over charges or over discharges and get a fire from it.

A poorly engineered battery is a freakin' time bomb, no doubt about it.

Everyone here should be deathly worried about this, I am.

I'm keeping this phone till the first chance I can unload it for one with a new batt

I have changed the way I charge it.

It is not on anything flammable

There is nothing near it flammable.

It will charge at the slow rate of charge

It will be monitored 100% of the charge by an awake person

I'll worry about it a lot in the meantime.

These batteries are dangerous and deserve your respect. Just keeping it and not exchanging it is the crazy option...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Let's do some math. Let's assume there are three third parties that take the Samsung-made battery cells (which are the same in every Note7) and incorporate them in to battery packs. We know Amperex Technology, the Chinese third party, is clean because Chinese-built phones aren't affected. Samsung named Korean ITM Semiconductor as the battery pack producer for Note7’s sold in Korea and that's where the stop-sale occurred almost immediately. If those two were the only battery back producers than 100% of phones not built in China with Amperex battery packs would be affected. That doesn't appear to be the case or Samsung would have chosen the nuclear "recall them all" option sooner. So there's at least three or possibly more battery pack producers.

So if we assume that the issue is solely with Korean ITM battery backs and there are at least three sources that means 2/3 (1.67M) of Note7's are safe and 1/3 (833K) are at risk (fuzzy math with it unknown what the split is between battery pack producers). And of that 833K at last report there were 40ish reports of battery's frying. It's not the ticking time bomb some are making it out to be.

What i understand Samsung isn't naming the company that produced the faulty issue with the batteries. If Samsung did the research to discover the fault, you would deduce that they know which company screwed up. It's going to cost big bucks for Samsung and very bad timing with the iPhone 7 release. So why wouldn't Samsung name and shame the company responsible? Maybe because the company responsible is Samsung that produced the faulty battery. So better to not make a bad situation worse by tarnishing their battery company also. Of course these ideas are only inferred, without clear information to go on, one can only come up with a incomplete picture!

Yep, and the federal government is not too happy that Samsung isn't going through the Consumer Protection Safety Commission here in the US, as that is how all issues like this are usually handled. Samsung has been accused of trying to hide a link between their chemicals and employee deaths in South Korea, I really hope they aren't trying to hide something with this issue.

Do we know the battery manufacturer for the N930FD model?

Dear All, I purchased a Dual Sim N930FD from a USA based eBay seller with a high positive feedback rating before the recall story broke. I have been in discussion over several days with that seller regarding the recall issues and the seller has been responsive. However, he is stating that the N930FD is one of the variants that is sold in China and, therefore, by inference utilizes the "considered safe" battery which a previous contributor to this thread has identified as being manufactured by Amperex Technology and not ITM Semiconductor or others which "may" be unsafe. My research indicates the models sold into China & Hong Kong are N9300, N9308 & N9309. N930FD is listed as sold into Southeast Asia which by my understanding is not inclusive of China or Hong Kong. Has anyone here been able to determine reliably who the battery manufacturer for N930FD is? Can anyone confirm that N930FD is also sold into China and is, therefore, presently considered not at risk. Your help is much appreciated.
