qpst is a kind of software

that enable us to use a port in the phone to install firmware and others software when something like this happens...

some manufacturers like Samsung manufacture in such a way that this cannot be used,

depending upon your manufacturer and the processor(it mainly support snapdragon i think) you may get if you search in Google.

Hello,

I tried to root my new D 7 smartwatch with king root, because the palystore preinstalled in it was not showing the search function, so I want to install new play store apk version. Then i found in the setting that there is a firmware upgrade available, so I went for it , after that it went into bootloader. As there is only power key and no volume keys, I don't know how to return back from this. 'If anybody knows any trick. kindly help me

Thanking you,

Dr.Saidalavi

What do you think about the Android O system UI? I'm attaching some Screenshots I made from my Pixel XL so everyone can see what I mean, even if they haven't tried it.

Personally, I don't like the colors at all, I prefer a dark background and white icons. But I guess we'll be able to theme that later. Also, the settings have a lot less items compared to Nougat.

[Android Developer Previews] synesthete:
You can enroll to the beta program to get the update pushed to your device early here: https://www.google.com/android/beta

Or use the system images here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/download.html

If you are rooted or on a custom ROM, I would suggest going back to stock before using either of those methods.

I hate that in every Android major version they change the UI too much, i think it would be fine even if they would just add features and maybe change the animations abit, we get used to one design and than they just switch it.

[Android Developer Previews] Arjunism:
Guys, you shouldn't be harsh to Google. It's already fair for them to make their source codes open to public, making it easier to be learnt and modded. If you don't like it, just use theme engine or tweak it yourself. Or better still, make your own OS you ungrateful. Or use iOS and be happy with their customization, which is nonexistent. New stuff, be it a theme or feature, is fresh and also helpful for modders and programmers to learn about and reverse-engineer our beloved, maturing OS. I personally (and engineers at google apparently) like the new UI, knowing that if I ever grow tired of it, I can simply tweak them to my will. Having an opinion is okay, as long as you don't degrade others.

[General Topics] yeoldgreat1:
My Samsung charger died recently so I tried to replace it with this one from ebay. As soon as it arrived I could tell it was fake but thought I'd share what I found so that others can see what to look out for.

The main giveaways were:

Lettering is poor quality - an official charger has a very high resolution print screen and parts of the letters are not missing.

Poor build quality - the earth on does not move up and down properly.

Use of Philips screws - the official charger uses torx screws.

Quick Fast Charging - Samsung have never used this branding.

I then decided to take both chargers apart to see how different they were. I've attached the pictures, the genuine charger is on the left and the fake is on the right. It's amazing how much difference there was between the build quality. I managed to pop the back off of the fake charger with not too much force but I really had to pry open the genuine one before it eventually gave in. Once the back was off, the PCB in the fake charger slid out really quickly but I had to prise the genuine PCB out, which is why there is a bit of damage to the USB port.
[General Topics] sandpox:
IMO the easiest way to check charger without disassembly it is:

- Checking the letter for typo/the ink are too bold/ you can feel the letter with your finger then it's a fake one

- Check for the USB contacts, official charger usually gold plated

- Check for weight, fake charger use fewer component => fewer weight

- Official charger did have a circuitry built in to make it work with Fast Charging capability device, meanwhile the fake charger are not, obviously it will not able to do the Fast Charging

For the electrical safety:

- On the fake charger, the secondary (USB) are not having enough clearance to the mains side (240v), this could leads to your phone get fried if there is a high voltage spike in the mains causing it to arcs over and you could risk the life of yourself if you're touching the metal parts on the phone, you can clearly see the 8th image of the official charger having a plastic separation between the secondary side and primary side to prevent such arcing occurs.

- Transformer of official charger use 2 layer insulation (magnet wire with a rubber sleeve, you can see the secondary winding of official charger coming out in 9th picture with red and white wire) for the secondary side meanwhile on the fake charger just a bare magnet wire so you're risking yourself if the secondary winding somehow touched the primary winding because of the insulation is so thin, it will broke off because of heat during use.

- Official charger use proper, big class Y capacitor (the cyan color thingy) meanwhile the fake charger use a smaller one, if this thing get fault and shorted then your phone will get direct contact with the mains side.
[General Topics] ozvandroid:
Actually there are fake chargers that do adaptative charging. I got one, but the differences i found is that it gets really hot muy hotter than the original, and it makes a little buzz sound while chraging.

Kitkat was designed to address the low RAM issue that plagued Android of that era, consequently, YotaPhone 2 benefits from that effort. Lollipop, however was catastrophic across the board for majority of devices, with only respite being with the Marshmallow update.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dehou7:
Hi all,

to make it short i deleted a ton of pictures by accident, for what i've seen, the apps that really work on recovering files and windows softs like fonepaw or dr.fone require root access, but i've read that in the rooting process you have to perform a factory reset wich will wipe out everything on your phone, so whats the point on rooting a device to recover files if you have to erase everything in middle? Is there a way to perform a "simple" root without any deletion?, i don't want to change anything in my phone, no flash, no roms, no unlock bootloader, etc, etc, i just want to recover the files and i'll inmediatle unroot to take everything back to normal.

Thank you all in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kromlech:
I tried to flash a custom rom (KatKiss), and it seems that I did something wrong along the way because the tablet is stuck in a bootloop.

So I rebooted my tablet and access the bootloader ("fastboot devices" recognize my device) and try to go to the recovery (with the TWRP splash screen, "adb devices" recognize my device). Unfortunately after 20 seconds on the splash screen, the tablet reboots (tries to load my katkiss android but bootloop everytime).

Bootloader : 10.6.1.14.10

TWRP : 3.1.1.0

Since the fastboot recognize my device while in bootloader, I think that I should try to flash twrp since it seems to be corrupted somehow.

Every time I flashed a rom nothing went wrong but now that I have a problem I don't want to worsen it and would like some help on the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you flash the rom in your current TWRP?

Something is off... Did you possibly flash the TF201 rom version??

Whatever you do - do not use Wipe Data from the bootloader!!

Reflash TWRP, format data, then reflash the rom

And report in more detail what you did
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kromlech:
Thank you for the fast reply!

I did flash the rom with my current TWRP and only downloaded the rom version for the TF700. Below is what I tried from your suggestion:

I check that my device is recognized:

fastboot device

So I tried flashing TWRP:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-tf700t

After it succeeded, I reboot the tablet:

fastboot reboot

And as a result... nothing changes, I don't know if I should try with older version of TWRP. Seems like I only have access to the tablet with the fastboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That is very strange indeed. Yes, try a 3.0.2 version of TWRP and see if that works.

If not, I would flash the Asus stock blob in fastboot and start from scratch....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unidave199:
Not sure if this will help but I had a reboot problem with trying to load into TWRP. I posted my solution into a different thread but will toss it out here..

I just had this problem with a Transformer 201Prime. The cycle went something like this..

Power on.... get ASUS logo in middle, Tegra3 logo on lower right, and bootloader unlocked in upper left....

then a buzz... then reboot.....

So I would try the power button and hold the volume down... that got me into the bootloader but when I hit the volume up button it would give me the TWRP logo... then buzz and reboot...

After much monkeying around... I realized I would have to re install everything. Fortunately I had the original NVFLASH bloob files backed up so I was able to get into the NVFLASH commands.

Here is a great tutorial, it is for the 201 so be sure to download the correct files but the steps are basically the same.

https://xdaforums.com/tra...prime-t3486237

The other problems is I had to download a bloob tool to 'unpack' the necessary .bin and .ebt files that are mentioned in the commands... I used the following link to download the tool.

https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools

I hope this helps shake loose a few answers.

Once I was able to get a working recovery I could flash an updated ROM. (KatKiss is my current favorite)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kromlech:
I tried to flash version 3.0.2 of TWRP and the problem is still the same.

[MENTION=5554693]Unidave199[/MENTION] the link you put in your post points to a post that doesn't seems to exist anymore, has it been moved?

[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION] how do I do for flashing a rom with the fastboot? any stock rom to recommend?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Unidave's link would only help you if you generated your device specific nvflash blobs when the tablet was still functioning. Did you:

flash a specifically modded recovery - flash the moddded bootloader, use wheelie to generate and save your blobs, return everything to factory specs?

I highly doubt it since you would have mentioned...

To flash the stock blob in fastboot you download the Asus firmware from here: https://www.asus.com/my/support/Download/28/1/0/11/29/8/

Extract the zip twice until you see a blob and a meta-inf file.

Move the blob into your fastboot folder, discard the rest of the file

Issue these commands one by one, letting each one finish before starting the next. Some will finish quick, others may take up to 3 minutes:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash system blob
fastboot reboot

The first boot will take a while, but that should put you back on a stock JB 4.2 system.

Trash all the files you used in your last attempt and redownload the rom, gapps and supersu

Fastboot flash TWRP

Reboot

Format /data in TWRP (this will take up to 1 hour - let it finish!!), then convert /data to f2fs

Flash the rom, gapps, supersu

If you flash Nougatella remember that you have to turn on wifi right after the language selection during setup or Google framework will crash.

My tab is keep bootlooping neither it stays on twrp nor bootloader.

It has blue screen of recovery that is twrp after 5 to 10 seconds it boots again.

Is this enough time to execute the commands while it is on blue screen?
