[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ast00:
Well, here we go again, I ran into a problem. I had a Freedom OS backup, and I decided to try LineageOS. After that, I flashed a kernel to allow for permissive selinux. After I booted it up, it was factory reset. I didn't have time to deal with the setup again, so I restored my backup, but that bootlooped. I flashed the same ROM again after a factory reset, got stuck at the Oneplus screen. I flashed Resurrection, that booted up. Then I rebooted to recovery, flashed VIPER, factory reset. Without warning. No dialog, no nothing, it just resets itself without telling me about it. And then it requires my pattern when I enter TWRP, it asks for it when I'm trying to boot my phone, and it's annoying. VERY ANNOYING.

I want encryption off. I don't want it not to ask for my pattern. I want it OFF. Is that possible?

I would also like to know why it factory resets EVERY SINGLE TIME I flash something.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddy4:
I recently got a Timmy M20 but it comes with a pesky Trojan virus embedded in the youtube system app (Malware bytes told me). I think the best way to deal with this would be to in install a new ROM. The problem is it's relatively new/uncommon phone and I can't find any resources to help me. Unfortunately as far as I know I can't even root it as it's android 6.0

If anyone has any of the following it would be of great assistance:

Stock ROM for Timmy M20

Custom ROM for TIMMY M20

third party recovery compatible with this phone

advise on viability of porting a ROM from another similar phone(although I think I need the stock ROM to do this?)

Any advice on dealing with this is appreciated. My ultimate goal is to remove the malware but I would also like to install a new ROM for fun/learning.

Specs:

Model: M20

Manufacturer: Timmy

Android Version: 6.0

CPUABI: armeabi-v7ar

Hardware: Mediatec mt6580

No root success

Hi

I'm a complete beginner, prompted by the infuriating malware on my Timmy M20 to try and find a solution.

I've tried Framaroot, didn't work. I've tried downloading Kingoroot to my phone, and also to my laptop and connecting with USB. That didn't work either.

:(

I've subscribed to this thread in the hope that somebody somewhere will solve it.

In the meantime I will keep looking, trying & pestering my techy friends.

I did, however, find a stock Rom - on shareaz.us - downloaded to pc, scanned it for viruses (seems to be clean), so it's there if I need it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ednev:
Bump - same issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terence8888:
I managed to root the phone. Here's what I did (do it at your own risk!)

1 Unlock bootloader.

You need to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking on your phone

Boot the phone into fastboot mode. Switch off. Vol up & power together.

The phone will give you three choices (in very small fonts so maybe magnifying glasses called for)

Middle option should be fastboot

Choose it

On your pc, you need to have installed fastboot. Google if you have not done so.

On pc, command prompt;

fastboot flashing unlock (everything will be wiped; if this does not work, type fastboot help for a list of commands)

boot up the phone by taking out the battery and switch on as normal. Should take a long time. Everything is wiped

2. Install TWRP

get the file recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img google drive 0Bwq1wxJqkB4nbjZzb3huWF9fZ0U (I cannot post links :))

boot the phone to fastboot mode as above

fastbbot flash recovery recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img

Once it's done reboot the phone into recovery mode (instead of middle option in fastboot, it's the first option)

You should hopefully have TWRP

3. Install SuperSU

download latest SuperSU zip file

copy to sdcard.

insert sd card

boot phone into TWRP

install superSU.

Hopefully you are done

Forgot to mention. After rooting, I cannot uninstall Youtube and the other malware as it cause instability. I get "Unfortunately youtube has stopped working" error repeatedly.

Still searching for solution. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ednev:
Thank you for this! I managed to find a solution to prevent the ads from popping up. I use an app called noRootFirewall and it blocks the virus's access to the internet (preventing downloads of ads, etc).

I will try your root solution now, this phone has half decent hardware so it would be good to actually get it running without malware at some point. Maybe try installing Android 5.0 somehow?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertKarl:
I had the "Tube has stopped working" screen blocker that was driving me crazy. BUT it turned out NOT to be malware.

When I first received the phone, I turned tube OFF, because I do not use it. THAT is the problem. I turned tube back on after a hard reset, and problem solved. And, yes, even doing a hard reset is a PITA, but it can be done even with the screen blocker, if your fingers are nimble enough to (1) hit the OK button on the screen blocker, and (2) immediately hit the "Reboot OK," button on the box under it, during the half-second that the original screen blocker is recycling. It took me about 40 tries, but I no longer have the problem reported above as long as I leave tube "enabled." Hope this help. I was about to process Timmy through the garbage disposal before I figured this out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameo:
I just had some problems with my M20 Pro too. I've bought the phone in early july 2017 with a software released 2016/10/29. I've checked for updates several times but the system said that this was the most recent version. After 4 weeks trouble started...

First Google started to warn about the youtube app which couldn't be updated from the app store. Deactivating this app lead to a never ending "youtube was stopped" message loop.

A few days later my wifi switched off randomly and full screen ads appeared where they shouldn't have. Time to do a malware scan... I chose the 30-day-trial version of Malwarebytes and it found 5 trojan infected apps (incl. youtube). But without root they couldn't be deactivated or deinstalled.

After a while Malwarebytes reported that a file called fotaupdate.apk was ready to install, so I installed it. I don't know if this file was already present on the system or if Malwarebytes downloaded it. A few seconds after the installation a download of a system update (2016/11/29) started and installed. The malicious youtube app was still present, but it was the only infected app left. Soon a second update (2016/12/05) showed up. This time the system was free of malware after installation. Shortly after a last system update (2017/08/14) arrived and android is pretty up-to-date on my M20 Pro now.

So, before messing around with rooting and firmware flashing, try to get the ota update to work and install the available system updates.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinxda:
I received the phone today. It has 2016/10/29 firmware installed, with youtube app infected issue

However when I check firmware update, it says that system is already updated.

Is there a way to force the update or to install the newest one manually?

As said by chameo in his post, the latest should be dated 2017/08/14

thank you

I wonder if sharing "fotaupdate.apk" file by Chameo could unlock updates on our devices. If possible, we should give a try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woprr:
NO, not from untrusted sources, has the package been verified or has s/he "unknown sources" enabled?

[MENTION=4192578]woprr[/MENTION]

Wow, that's the pessemistic view of life, eh? With the 2016/10/29 stock software version for the M20 Pro we are already stuck with a malware infected system. It can only get better.... not all of us are fond of flashing firmwares with adb, fiddeling around with command lines or rooting devices with TWRP.

Maybe you have noticed that already the software from 2016/12/05 was malware-free. If there had been malware it would have been discovered within half a year, I guess. But yes, there's always some risk left...

By the way, I doubt that any manufacturer in this highly competitive market can afford to release malware infected software all of the time.

You are right, the M20 and M20 Pro are different models with different firmwares. I've posted my experience in this thread because there are also some M20 Pro owners here, searching for a solution for their problems.

I've found a fotaupdate.apk on a SD card I've used with my M20 Pro some time ago. I've sent it to cinxda to try if it works. We'll see...
[Zenfone 5 General] Saamyo:
Summary of the whole rant: ASUS phones go faulty just after a year has ended. ASUS fails to provide updates on time. ASUS refuses to release code for the GPS and FM radio.

Okay, now to begin the rant. Firstly, I want to say that I have owned to ASUS phones till date: Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 2.

Both of these devices, start having major problems just after the one year warranty phase has completed. My Zenfone 5 is still "working" (in quotes because it's charging port does not work properly and it takes 6 hours to charge along with the fact that ADB and Fastboot don't work). My Zenfone 2 on the other hand, has completely given up the ghost. First issue I saw with it was barely a month after one year of purchasing it, where it had the same issue as my Zenfone 5 and took 6+ hours to charge. This was still *usable* until the time came where the vibration motor and the speakers of the phone stopped working. This meant that 1) I could not charge my phone properly, 2) Could not get notified of incoming calls, etc. when in noisy places, 3) Inability to listen to music or use the loudspeaker in calls. Overall this made this phone practically unusable but I still kept it as a Tinkerers device (i.e. to flash Roms, etc.). The next month after the second set of issues, the phone completely died. It no longer boots or shows it charging. This was the thing that made me lose it. I'm never ever buying an ASUS device in my life, no matter how good the specs look. I know for sure that I'll be stung with disappointment within a few months of purchasing it.

Another thing which makes me rage at ASUS is that they will not release the code for the GPS or the FM radio even though they have stopped pushing official updates. This means that all ROMS in the future will never have a working GPS nor a FM radio. This makes me so angry inside it's unreal.

With that I'll conclude my rant and pray to people to stop buying ASUS until they pull themselves together.
[Zenfone 5 General] q0kHaN:
I hate asus too. ZenUI got sh*tty interface. Everything you said is about usage. I have zenfone 6 for 2 years and i treat it as my child :) Everything works like first day. They dont even released proper bootloader unlock for zenfone 6 a601cg model. I wont buy any zenfone
[Zenfone 5 General] DroidNoob123:
I completely agree.Asus has no support whatsoever for Power Users.

[Samsung Gear Live] Marioawe:
Hello!

Despite my efforts, my Gear Live watch is refusing to turn on. I've gone through customer support and achieved no success (obviously, that's why I'm here) except the offer to pay a fee and send it back which I might take up that offer but I would like to see if anyone else has the same problem or any solutions before I shell out money for that.

So far I've:

-Let it sit on a wall charger for 3 hours

-let it sit connected to my laptop for about the same amount of time

-cleaned off the charger and contact points on the back of the watch, no corrosion to either (in fact, the watch is in nearly new condition minus my numerous fingerprints :P)

-tried three different cables and wall chargers

- opened up the watch, reseated the battery, put it back together and tried again, still to no avail

- opened it again, took out a multimeter, got nothing the first time charging it, second time after charging it, it showed 3 volts.

I'm at a loss as it looks as if it were just bought from the store, no damage or anything to the watch anywhere and it didn't seem to show damage from water or sweat. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
If the battery has been dead for a while, the initial charge can take forever (1day+)
[Samsung Gear Live] Marioawe:
I've had it sitting for over half a day with nothing yet, I'll wait for the full day to pass and update you if anything has happened.
[Samsung Gear Live] Marioawe:
After 24 hours...nothing, so I took apart, measured it again, still getting .3 volts, which would translate to 300 mAh, the maximum capacity for the watch, so its not a battery problem, leading me to believe something on its motherboard(?) has a problem, possibly. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Samsung Gear Live] Marioawe:
Just a small update, got it to flash the "Samsung Gear Live" screen for about 1-2 seconds, just ordered a new battery because that's what seems to be the problem

Hi, great work! You should contact the Android 6.0 beta team from Yotadevices (TechCS@yotadevices.com) so they could implement this on the stable release of Android 6.0 as an option! This would save more battery because how OLED works... ;)

If they don't accept it, I think you should wait for the final Android 6.0 or share what you are changing so someone can do it for Android 6.0...

Hello everyone!

I have a huge problem with smartphone mentioned in the thread title.

Once i wanted to install Cyanogen mod on it (yes, i rooted my device before flashing new room) and everything was well until the final reboot of the device.

Well, it is in bootloop. It only shows animated Cyanogen mod icon and nothing else.

I still have access to Droidboot that has an active "SD Download" option.

Is there any possible way to repair this device? Even with clean android?

I would apreciate any help whit this thread.
[Android General] xGacutx:
Well, noone seems to know solution to my problem, so i figured it out myself.

I am posting solution to this problem so if anyone in the future will have this issue, then he will have solution right here.

1. I downloaded stock android from asus website (Version 4.1.0 if i recall).

2. I copied the .RAW file to SD card and put it in smartphone

3. I booted up Droidboot and choose "SD Download"

4. I waited a while and after the instalation is complete, i booted up the system

There still was a bootloop but now with the asus logo. But then, i made another step:

5. I booted up Droidboot again and choose "Wipe/reset device"

After that, it worked like a charm

The stock android didn't have drivers for the Back, Home and menu touchbar so i made i think four system updates from android update software and it worked.

I hope i will help somone wit this thread.

Take care everyone :)
