you do realize that there are thousands of this same video, that date back a loooong time? and, big one.. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WIPE EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FLASH A ROM. thats just something that someone started a while back, and people like you keep saying. a dirty flash is just fine. i recommend wiping when flashing from one rom to a DIFFERENT rom.

ps.. and you didnt include a choice to choose terrible/bad.

Hey guys, maybe someone can help me

1. What i want:

Backup the internal storage because i dont think i can save the whole phone. This is only possible when it boots

2: Whats not working:

Phone is dead. I charged it, orange light kept for about 2 mins. Then the screen got black and i wasnt able to boot again.

3. What i did:

- Power + louder and Power + quieter not working

- I opened the phone, changed the battery

- openend/closed the connectors for power button, light, etc. inside the phone

- checked the mainboard. I couldnt find an error or something blown up.

- When i disconnect the battery and put in the charger theres the red light, but only for about 30 seconds. When i connect the battery, nothing happens.

- Charging with the 2 ports on the left side of the phone doesnt work

- When i charge for a long time, the mainboard gets a little bit warmer, but the battery is very cold (old an new one) :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: I dont know what this means.

Maybe someone can help

Thank you very much ;)

[Android Head-Units] lambition:
I have just purchased an Android head unit after months hesitation.

I purchased Joying JY-UL124. RK3188, 1024x600, 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, Android 5.1.1

I am yet to receive the unit and searching Google and xda threads for how to make best out of my unit, but overwhelmed by all the information. So, I've decide to ask few question.

1. Is this MTCB or MTCD ? (From what I searched it is MTCD, but not 100% sure).

2. Any bluetooth issue? I have come across one review (just one) saying it won't connect to any other bluetooth device than the phone. Is it true?

3. Joying says it works with WCDMA 3g dongle only. I have never used 3g dongle before and don't know how it actually works. It is possible to make it work with GSM?

4. Any possible way to connect this unit using CWM tether via USB? I have Galaxy S7 on Cricket wireless and there is no root yet and I have to pay extra for tethering.

5. What camera do I need for car DVR feature? Any USB cam?

6. Any known issues I should be aware of?

Thanks. :D

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4ryl3:
Hello. When I bought my Nexus 5X, it had Android Marshmallow on it. I immediately rooted it and flashed TWRP using the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) and it went well.

Along came the Android 7.0 OTA and I only had to remove the saved fingerprints and PIN (to make TWRP see the phone as decrypted) I was able to go through the update successfully with that current setup. Of course I had to re-root my phone after that.

But the 46.7MB October Security Update won't install via OTA. I've tried:

re-rooting it with the latest TWRP (via NRT)

re-flashing the stock recovery (via NRT)

but the OTA still wouldn't get installed. I checked the recovery log and it showed this line:

But I checked the build.prop file and found this:

Where could that google/bullhead/bullhead:6.0.1/MMB29Q/2480792:user/release-keys have come from? How do I proceed with the OTA? I've yet to try FlashFire because it won't detect the downloaded OTA file and I've yet to download that 1.2GB factory OTA file.

Also why only now am I having problems with OTA? It should have happened during the Android 7.0 update, right? I would like it very much if I could do this without wiping my data. Please help. Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
The update will fail because you have modified /system. Update using NRT then apply root. I don't use that tool so that's up to you to figure out.

Alternatively, update using fastboot and reflash root afterwards. Follow the guide below:

BTW you didn't "decrypt" the phone. It was still encrypted. You just changed the password used to encrypt the storage of the unique encryption "keys", that were used to encrypt your phone, to "default_password", which TWRP knows about and can try automatically to retrieve your encryption keys.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4ryl3:
I went away and

Downloaded the OTA zip file

Installed the Android SDK tools, connected my device and rebooted it into TWRP

Then went to Advanced -> ADB Sideload

Then from the command prompt, typed "adb sideload /path/to/OTA/zip/file" and hit enter

It took a few minutes to 100%, then I rebooted my phone and all is well and updated now.

I rooted this phone yesterday with the latest KingRoot. I I installed my backup from an LG K7 which I had fully rooted by using an older version of Super su me. Unfortunately I lost that phone. I found this phone on closeout at Kmart and Im trying to get something going on it. It's strange that busybox will install with the new version of KingRoot still installed. Everytime I run super su me (I have tried several different versions) it either crashes or just doesn't do anything. I'm working on it now. Any of you funny guys been able to remove KingRoot and keep root.

The reason why your post is important is people don't want to run KingRoot and find out the hard way it doesn't work, so thanks for posting that.

Yes, removing KingRoot and keeping root would be the golden grail, I'll post here as soon as I come across anyone who's done that. I can't find anyone yet with TWRP or FlashFire-equivalent, let alone root with KingRoot removed...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingolo:
I read on another thread for this device that they successfully did it with the PC version of KingRoot. I'm leary about putting it on my laptop. I'm hard on phone's and have been messing with them for about a year now so far I haven't bricked a device. I've unlocked a couple of bootloader's. Seems I have the best luck with metro/lg. But I like a challenge and couldn't pass up this phone for the price. First time I got an at&t phone to achieve any kind of root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
Did it work for you? I don't see Alcatel mentioned in that thread. I'm curious.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
He says it worked for him using link2sd. The original method without link2sd used in the linked thread does not work on Alcatel Ideal 4060a, I tried it.

But his method of using link2sd may work - he says it does.

But how do you exactly do that method? What lines of code do you use, what exactly is the process with link2sd?

That's what we are after, how do you use link2sd with Alcatel Ideal 4060a. I hope he comes back and posts. Otherwise one of us will hopefully figure it out eventually on here...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arolust:
In the post I linked theres a person who (on the first page) added a code to the script for link2sd.

However, im a bit to lazy to do the research into editing the script, so I think I just ran the script then used link2sd to remove kingroot, then reboot.

Though I had to do this while enduring a constant popup requiring me to press ok over and over.

To be honest though Im a bit fuzzy on the full process because I to had trouble getting the script to work. I might have run the script then rebooted then tried removing kingroot.

I will do this then post full instructions.
