Now we have root, Is there a way we can enable the USB OTG function?

I have a USB storage and a Seek thermal camera that both need power out from micro USB port of the phone.

Thanks guys

Wonder if OTG works on this phone with a simple USB drive. And if it even has OTG support in stock ROM. There are apps on Play Store to check.

use USB OTG helper app

it works on all rooted android
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
And what will that do? I bet it's not going to make OTG work on this or any other phones that don't support OTG.

Ive tried it even used a dual cable to supply power to usb flash. No usb otg hardware support or crippled by huawei intentionally.

it is due to no usb power via phone

so usb not get power and not works

Hi,

I've tried to flash stock rom(b53? android 5.0) on my ALE-21(dual sim, unlocked bootloader). Phone has started properly and found update to b170. In the "Android is upgrading" phase it's started to reboot itself. After flashing stock again it just keeps rebooting. I can use phone for ~30 seconds and it reboots, again and again.

Notes:

It seems like emui is not installed at all. I have pure(google) android.

When I launch TWRP I have a message saying the data are crypt and I need a password to decrypt it. If I said cancel I access the TWRP menu but in Install menu I can't find any file if I Select File from internal storage (0MB)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thecaptain0220:
In the case that you are running a custom ROM on your device, is the radio only thing that would be useful from the stock image? What about the bootloader? Is there anything else that needs to be updated when a new image is released? Is there any problem with just flashing the latest radio when one is released using fastboot?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] BDogg718:
No, the bootloader would be very necessary to flash also. You wanna make sure that the BL and radio are the same build ID as ROM or you will run into issues. Trust me..lol

Hello.

I own a S7 and my phone was in official service and my motherboard was changed (along with the camera, speakers).

I asked the guy at the service why i have the same IMEI if my motherboard was changed and they say that it was rewritten to the new motherboard.

Is that possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lakicamm:
Of course it is. As a matter of fact, you could buy s7 mainboard with blank IMEI and write your own if you had appropriate tools for that :)

Hi,

Am i the only one who as an unresponsive power button every now and then.

First I thought I was an application that I was using. Then a new firmware came and I decided to do a hard reset. The problem remains and I cannot find the reason. When I enter the recovery mode it works apparently fine...

OK, apparentely i'm the only one with this problem.

I'm thinking about an hardware problem since i tried to press firmly over the buttons, on the screen, and it has been working since. I think it might be related to a problem with the connector from the flat cable of the buttons....

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LastStandingDroid:
So in this guide or tutorial i'll show you how to patch boot.img so it doesn't fails to boot.

what you'll need

Python (We're using a python script to unpack/repack)

This python script https://github.com/liudongmiao/bootimg

Text editor (notepad++) for windows is a good thing

Patience

Now if you have python installed navigate to the folder where your bootimg.py & boot.img exist

now open cmd or terminal depending on what system you're using. and enter:

python bootimg.py --extract-bootimg

python bootimh.py --extract-ramdisk

Now we need to disable dm-verity and such

To disable system check change: ro,barrier=1 wait,verify > ro,barrier=1 wait

it is recommended to do this to all partitions u want to be able to modify later.

now you can also remove dm-verity executable and is not needed and it most likely will cause your boot.img to fail.

There's probably need to patch se policy file as well so you could use phh zip to do this.

And thats it. Post 2 is to add superuser access but it'll be later
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LastStandingDroid:
How to swap from phh to chainfire supersu

Open init.environ.rc and add

export PATH /su/bin:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/su/xbin:/system/xbin

Above bootlogo

Now download the two zips and extract su folder to root of ramdisk

And the sbin to sbin folder but don't remove any files!

Now if u have trouble with remount system as rw you need to edit the fstab and remove the verify on its partition. Now just repack ramdisk and then repack boot and you should be done
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarfreedom:
Sorry, which tool do you use in order to extract boot img from UPDATE.APP?

And after unpack and repack ramdisk and boot is it normale that the new boot.img is smaller than the "original" boot.img?

right, i want a dual sim adaptor for my artemis. i'm going to use the 2nd one for GPRS only.

Can anyone vouch for an adaptor that'll let me stick 2 sims in it and not mess with the battery life? ideally i'd like to switch sims via an app, but i can handle switching via com manager...flight mode.

any personal recommendations?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] broadband:
there re something called double card .. but u must use only one sim per time.. and the application to convert between the two sims is inside the windows "STK"
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] Registerme:
You need an analog SIM adapter, I'm using one of those. The digital versions consume more power. The difference is that the analog switches from one card to the next by switching the phone on and off or on our nice pda phone by going to flight mode and back. The digital cards use the sim tool kit menu, so no need to switch anything on and off.

Up to now I haven't heard of any programs that can switch the cards for the digital cards but I have one for my analog card, it's called Flight Mode and has a plane symbol. Do not use Toosten Flight mode, that won't switch back from flight mode. I think it was this one: http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1161

I use Hbutton for Flight mode. I have three apps on one button, I press it for the first app or hold it until it vibrates once for the next app or twice for Flight mode. This way I don't switch accidentially, instead I have to hold the button for a second.

- eventually has removable case

- has android

I have a Galaxy s7 and I have been using it for quite some time now , I was getting a pretty good battery timings but one day I accidentally slept on my phone and when I woke up I felt that the phone was pretty hot (I didn't bother) and I slept again.

But after that incident the "android system" started taking all of my juice like 60-65% consumption or even 95% (sometimes) which used to make my phone get really hot! (Around 1000+ mAh) I was getting hardly 2 - 2.30 SOT

I was very frustrated so I changed the battery but the issue still persists ,the consumption is a bit better like 40-45% but the issue still persists !

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Totjoss:
Hello everyone ! First post here. :)

I've bought yesterday this amazing machine, and bought the Android version. But I wished to directly install a Windows 10 version to replace Android, but I didn't thought it would be this... complicated. >.<

In order to have access to boot menu (then boot on a Windows 10 install USB drive), it seems we have to root Android.

That's what I'm doing. But I'm stuck with a stupid driver...

I've followed the steps from thread https://xdaforums.com/yoga-book/how-to/root-yb1-x90l-how-to-t3534268, and got to install ADB and reboot to the bootloader. But once at the "fastboot flashing unlock" step, the command waits for the device.

In the device manager, the Yoga Book driver is installed if plugged while turned on normally (thus ADB sees it), however it is missing while on bootloader (thus Fastboot can't see it) - the manager recognizes it as "Cherry Trail Tablet" with a warning sign over it.

Once I'll get to install the missing driver, I'll get to keep going. :)

Does anyone know what exactly to download and install to fix this ?

P.S. : I tried the common Google "usb_driver", but it is not recognized as a correct driver directory.

I can't find the way to unlock the bootloader as my laptop (using Windows 10) does NOT recognize my Yoga Book in Fastboot Mode. I've tried everything (or so) to get it but I couldn't. I have reinstalled ADB and Fastboot several times and restarted my laptop but nothing works... When I type "Fastboot devices" nothing happens and of course when I type "Fastboot flashing unlock" it keeps waiting for the device.

Any other possible solution? I'm feeling quite frustrated. I know this would be much easier running Ubuntu as I've done it before but I haven't got any laptop (I borrowed this one)

I know the answer is a bit late, [MENTION=8259596]alvarogr91[/MENTION], but since I had the same problem, yesterday, I think it's worth answering nonetheless:

You need to follow the instructions of the howto_driver.zip that is located in the ADB/Fastboot thread that already got mentioned in post #2 of the Q&A thread we're currently writing in.
