Is this OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170804-1831-a6000.zip update 64bit?
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Has.007:
ARM64 Update!

So the update is finally here after all the wait.

The device tree has been updated to 64bit. I read questions asking whats special in 64bit?

ARM64 means greater compatibility with roms, better support and better performance. Performance will be improved for 1GB users as well overtime.

Flashing Instructions:

Download ARM64 compatible TWRP :- TWRP-RECOVERY-3.1.1-0-x64bit.img

Download Official OctOS ARM64 Build Here:- OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170804-1831-a6000.zip

Download Gapps ARM64 :- Download The Default Selected Gapps In This Link.

^ Pico is the best option!

Download the ARM64 Recovery, reboot to your current recovery. From Install section, Select Install Image (It will be on the bottom right). Select the ARM64 Recovery and in next step, select Recovery partition. After successful flash reboot the recovery and now you've the all new ARM64 Recovery!

Clean flash is a must make sure you have installed Hex-Firmware already.

^ Wipe System, cache, dalvik, data & internal storage.

[*] Now flash the rom and reboot!

[*] Enjoy the new experience and report if you face any issues. :D

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pattanirijukvk:
No need

If you flashed stock ROM after installing hex firmware patcher you need to flash again

If I installed the ROM already. Can I flash Magisk instead of super SU now to root? If Yes, that also need to be installed just after flashing ROM without booting
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Has.007:
Yes you can flash Magisk. No it is not compulsory to flash immediately after flashing rom.

Hi I have a Gw05 from aliexpress it has the mtk6572 and android funos it said in the ad it came with the playstore and it didnt so i tried to add the playstore and ended up in an error loop when idecided to add the files to the main system. My wife has the same watch in tact and I cant seem to get a working firmware from it using the mtk tools.

The only firmware I have been able to successfuly flash is from the Qw09 and the screen is 1/4 of the way down to far (there is like white fuzz in place where screen should be)

and it is upside down. My question is can I somehow flip and move the screen so it is correct?

If not does anyone have any funos firmware I can try mt6572 and if not

can you tell me how to get the working firmware from my wifes watch or point me to a link that tells me in english how to do it. thanks
[Other SmartWatches] adambomb_13:
NEverman all fixed
[Other SmartWatches] Albayeah:
I'm having the same problem xD i beleve i asked you in another post.

It seems impossible to find the stock firmware or other that correctly fits...

If you have any news of you could do a backup please share i don't know what more to do at this point.
[Other SmartWatches] chinesesmartwatch:
May be at least the screen rotation part can be healed with this software, where the screen rotation is one of available actions.
[Other SmartWatches] Albayeah:
Hey thanks for sharing ^^ I've tried the app but i'm still having 1/4 of screen not showing image, it's like screen moved down. I liked the app so i will use it when i have a full working watch xD... Now i guess only solution is re-installing original firmware :(

Thank you :)
[Other SmartWatches] chinesesmartwatch:
You can experiment with the wm command. Start shell using adb and next try wm command, it will list it's options. There is the overscan option which can move screen by xLeft,yTop,xRight,yBottom. I haven't the issues like yours and not sure if it will help, but you can try.

How to get rom

How to get stock rom original factory gw05 ?

Please, i need your help guys... ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrientes99:
hello guys,

Im new here,and its of course,because i have a problem:) i lost all my data from HTC ONE M8 phone.

I read everywhere,that is possible somehow a recovery.,even if i do not have any back up for anything.

so i started step by step,unlock bootloader,root the device,and start with some app from play store..and nothing is working.

do i need to S-OFF the phone?it will work?I will be able to recover something?or simply i should jsut forget about everything.

Im not specialist i jsut want to know if it is possible to recover something or not.if yes,i will be very thankful with who will come with some advices.I was trying all the applications from play,none of them works.thanks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You misinterpreted the advice. There is a better (although not great) chance of recovering/accessing "lost" data if the phone is bootloader unlocked, custom recovery, root

before

the data loss occurred. It's too late to do it

after

the data loss occurred (and you don't describe

how

you lost the data). Reason being, unlocking the bootloader wipes all data on the phone (for security reasons), so the chance of retrieving anything now is slim to none.

I'm always surprised (and somewhat disturbed) that in this day and age, so many folks don't bother to backup their data. You should be backing up your data, and there is little excuse for not doing so; with so many free and easy solutions (cloud, computer, etc.). If it's important to you, back it up.

I don't use WhatsApp. But if you are talking about Google contacts, the default in Android is to sync all your contacts to the Google "cloud". So unless you intentionally selected to turn off this default (not wise, if you don't have any other backup plans) the data should still be on your Google account. You can go to Gmail on a computer, login using your Google account credentials, and see if the contacts are listed. If so, they will automatically sync back to the M8, or other Android phone when you power it up, and login to your Google account.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrientes99:
it s hard to explain how i lost all data..i was in a trip in thailand,and i was jsut charging the phone,with wifi turned on.when i got back to the room,all the application were updating,and after i realised that i have no contacts. Back up,yeah.its my fault.but now is too late..since i have a smartphone.i dont know..10 years,i never lost my data,or phone..so thats why i was not thinking too much for a back up.there are a lot of application on internet..like android recovery data,for example(paid)but they are not working..they are such big liars?imagine,they are saying they recover any data,from all htc,ur paying,and recoverng nothing:)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's the wrong way to think about a backup plan. You have one, in the hopes that you never need it.

So you never had a problem for 10 years (I can pretty much say the same), but now you do, and you wished you backed up, right? So now it really doesn't matter how long you didn't have an issue, does it?

Not sure where you're from. But one example, where I live, it's customary if you own a home, you have home insurance. You don't think to yourself "Well, my house hasn't burned down in the last few years, so I don't need insurance."

These storage on devices are volatile at best. Storage can go corrupt for any number of reasons. Or you can lose your phone, have it stolen, or it can be broken. "I've been lucky for a long time" is not a good backup plan.

Recovering data is always just a

possibility

at best.

If you are talking about trying these apps

after

unlocking the bootloader, there is nothing to recover, it's been intentionally wiped by the bootloader unlock process. The purpose of this, is to prevent thieves from recovering your personal data from a stolen or lost phone. The whole point of your data being wiped, is that it

can't

be recovered.

Even if you tried some of these apps before unlocking the bootloader, the possibility of recovering data is always questionable, at best. Usually, the usefulness of these apps is just find data that has been accidentally "deleted" by the user. This data is fact not really deleted, it just gets renamed, until those blocks of memory are needed. Then it gets over-written with new data, and once that happens, the data can't be recovered. So the more you use your phone while trying to "recover" data, the higher the possibility that the data is over-written, and can't be recovered.

There are software and services for (truly) recovering over-written data, of the type that professionals and law enforcement use. They can read the "ghost" data traces even after a file has been wiped or over-written. But those cost hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars to recover that data. Not worth it for regular folks just trying to retrieve their personal data.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrientes99:
my concern was regarding the possibility of recovering data,not if its good/or bad to have a back up..i was loosing contacts and I survived:)..now all people are on facebook,so phone numbers,are not so important:)..but thanks about second part of ur post,which is connected with my problem,regarding insurances,and back ups,its another topic..its not about country where ur living,its about mentality:)..there are people who are making insurance each time they have the chance(because of course its good all the time to be insured),and there are people more relaxed, who are assuming this risks:)..of course,u will never know which is the best way..i heard more people insured,who never had any problem,than people not insured with problems:)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I answered your question,

and

trying to get you to learn from the experience. Which in the long run is just as important, if not more so, than the immediate question.

Your point about a "choice" about a backup plan is not really much of a choice, at all. Backing up data is a no-brainer and everyone should do it, as there are a variety of free and easy methods available, that once setup require little interaction by you. There is not excuse not to.

Is there any way to change folder icon to any color rounded dot?

I've seen something like this on aa android customisation channel.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculonsTalent:
Perhaps someone can help. I've read a lot of the great content here but I've hit a wall.

A few weeks ago my ovation device was running cm11+cwm but began random rebooting. Clearing the cache+dalvik only helped briefly.

I tried an upgrade with a twrp 3.0.0.0 (using the amazing multiboot recovery SD), but it hung formatting the cache partition (I waited about an hour). Tried again, same thing.

I used adb shell to fix a blank file system type on the cache partition but was only successful in creating an ext2 partition there. I got cm13 booting but it trebuchet kept crashing. I tried twrp again and flashing a different image and tried a factory reset. Big mistake.

Now when I try to boot any recovery SD it doesn't boot all the way. Using adb shell, my dmesg shows that umount is hanging. No emmc partitions seem to be mounted. The partition data exists in dmesg but calls to parted hang. Mkfs.ext4 also hangs (naturally).

So I've lost the ability to fully boot recovery SDs (they are probably hanging when they try to mount the emmc partitions). As such I can't flash a recovery. I have a clockwork backup that has a system.ext.tar file in it, but I don't know how to use it at this point.

I can't mount /rom so I'm worried.

Is my emmc shot? Is there any way to tell?

Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculonsTalent:
Would a noEMMC SD be safe?

I guess what I was hoping to do was use adb to completely wipe and restore the device to a sane state, which would include repartitioning and formatting the emmc partitions. Is that possible? Maybe not at this point.

I guess another question would be: if my NookHd+ emmc is technically working but currently unrecoverable, is it possible for me to safely use a NOemmc SD card? There seem to be some warnings about those wrecking emmc but I can't find any technical explanation as to why.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculonsTalent:
Based on further diagnostics, my emmc is one of the faulty Samsung models and so I think the crashes and ultimate recovery failures were the failure of the emmc.

I've successfully installed 10.1 noEMMC on one microsd. Runs Okay but a lot of apps I am interested in don't work on android from this vintage.

I tried to install 4.4.4/CM11 noEMMC but it can't mount the necessary partitions as per the install process on the iamafanof Wordpress page. I also see SELinux errors in the twrp recovery log. Does anyone know how to overcome this mount issue that apparently impacts some people.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculonsTalent:
Assuming there are others out there who find this useful, I have some updates.

I was determined to figure out why the CM11 NoEMMC was not working for me but CM10.2 noEMMC works fine. I get the error that many others get: unable to mount /boot, /data, /system.

I used adb shell to connect to the twrp 2.8.0.0 that runs when you boot the CM11 noEMMC SD boot/install image and compared the Linux system differences between that and the system you can see connected to the cwm 6.0.4.? That runs when you boot the CM10.2 noEMMC SD boot/instal image.

First things first: cm10 noEMMC remaps the internal emmc as /dev/block/emcblk1 and the external microsd card slot as blk0 (this is swapped from the norm and correct for a situation where you want to install to the SD as though it were the internal device).

CM11 noEMMC does not do this. I think that the author assumed that if your emmc is bricked then the system won't see your /dev/block/emmcblk0 at all so your external sdcard will take over that number. Clearly that's true for some, but it's not true for me.

I also began poking around the post boot script (in /sbin) to see how the cm11 noEMMC prepares the partitions on the Sd card and to see what Command it uses to create the data partition

Here's the kicker. I was able to mount my emmc rom partition and copy off all that data with an adb pull. I was able to initialize the cache partition (9) as a blank ext4 partition. I was even able to initialize the user partition (10) as ext4... Though I'm not sure that's right. I began mounting partitions and got greedy and tried to mount the whole partition map and it failed.

So, there's something wrong with (at least) one of my partitions. When recovery tries to mount the partitions, mount hangs and recovery fails to fully load. The noEMMC sd card got me around this because it doesn't try to mount any of the emmc partitions let alone all of them.

So, does anyone know if I can make new file systems on every partition and if by luck I'm able to get a twrp or cwm to fully load, will flashing a stock recovery put data on all those partitions?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuor60:
Sorry to resurrect this thread, But it exactly speaks to my issue. You mention that the blk0 and blk1 devices need to be switched for cm11 image to mount partitions properly. Does anyone know specifically where this might be done. Can files of the existing nov4 cm11 image be altered to reverse these two devices?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reckless71:
Could you please teach me how to mount EMMC partitions and retrieve data specially /factory partition with ADB?
