I got my box from Amazon. Ive not tried anything with it yet. I dont use Total Commander.. that was another guy saying something about it and wanting to be able to write to external sd... i could care less for that. I want root for adaway and a few other things. Im using Blockada right now to block ads but i cant use it and Expressvpn at the same time.. so my choices are either block ads or run vpn to be anonymous.. cant do both because you cant run two vpns at the same time in android and blockada's vpn is not the same kind of vpn.

Ok i just read your thread.. i will give it a try sometime this weekend maybe.

Ya know the weird thing is is that DevCheck says i have root and busybox installed. Su app is there but say su binaries arent installed. I dont get why this box is shipped like this. lol

You are funny! I was talking to [MENTION=3939685]RADiuMOz[/MENTION] - I had quoted him.

No wonder your reply made no sense. Then my reply made no sense. :P

Please see my topic on AMLogic devices "AMLogic S905 S912 FAQ ✰ Fix Root, Switch SU, Backup/Restore etc ✩ Media Player TV Box" here: https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...mlogic-s905x-s912x-faq-backup-switch-t3752897

I would suggest you follow the steps to Backup first as it does not make any changes to your system.

Then follow steps to Root (download 3 files) and proceed with the FAQ I have written on how to root and which of the 3 methods suit you (probably the one similar to Part 1 of the backup, plus flashing the ZIP.

I had similar corrupt Root issue where SU and SUD were present, but didn't appear to have permissions. Some apps reported Root OK, and others No Root.

Anyway, let me know how you go. I have documented how to un-root / clean-up and then to re-root your system (i.e. Corrupt Root). Reply there.

Cheers!

p.s. May I suggest you check out AdGuard instead of AdAway? It lets you subscribe to block lists, plus you can set-up DUAL VPN's with it (read their KB/FAQ's). AdGuard's menu's allows you to accomodate both being able to VPN and run adblocking at the same time - ROOT Free. :) So you can probably ignore everything I have even said! LOL (AdGuard > Left Menu > Settings > Proxy Settings)

VyprVPN is far better and I suggest you try them when they have a promo. You can enable an option to block malicious servers, etc. But no way of managing this and adding adverts. Anyway, I switched and tried various VPN providers and found VyprVPN

far better

, plus offer a higher level of OpenVPN encryption which is not blocked or detected by 3rd parties called "Chameleon".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipmode_11:
EXPERIMENT: Has anyone tried an OTG adapter in the USB-C slot for a Galaxy S8? Then connect a small USB drive with a recovery.img only, formatted in FAT32? You could even try placing the recovery.img on your Micro SD inside your phone...? Perhaps while holding down menu + up or menu + down, switch on your phone, and it might read the recovery.img on the external memory and boot into that?

*Anyway*, try the same thing in your MX10 and report back add success. Use a compatible S905 TWRP recovery.img (see my type here with download attached and tested with S905x Devices.

Hmm... So many ideas... so many things I have not tried! :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RADiuMOz:
First up - sorry mate - I actually thought I'd replied to your post, but clearly either didn't submit it, or just dreamed the whole thing.

I have to wait for free time at the weekends (I have kids), but I'll go back to your topic and give that a go.

As for NTFS, etc. I ended up buying a Synology DS218J NAS box as I want my daughter to be able to back up her MacBook to it, as well as probably back up some of my stuff to it as well - and of course then use for the MX10. I bought it from GeekBuying, and they're not that particularly helpful. Not intentionally unhelpful, though.

My MXIII-G was great for just working straight out of the box, with the external NTFS drive (exact same drive).

So now, as for rooting, my only reason will be so I can remap some of the keys on my remote - but don't absolutely have to do that. But I'll do backups anyway, so that I'm ready for if/when any firmware updates come out.

I'll certainly know to have a MUCH better look round, before buying my next Android TV box, though - that's for sure. I did a quick search, but didn't find anything on a user level - but also didn't search XDA: just did a regular Google search.

Thanks for your detailed reply, as I know it takes time and thought on your part - it's much appreciated. As soon as I've got something to report, I'll post in the same thread, so other people can perhaps benefit from my findings.

Cheers,

Richard.

Apologies! I thought I'd replied, here, but clearly didn't submit it, or just dreamed I had. I've replied to your PM, but also for anyone/everyone else's benefit (and in brief), I bought my MX10 from GeekBuying. I just bought a NAS box, so I'm going to use that instead of trying to get NTFS working, although the people at GeekBuying said, "Our factory tests show that the MX10 can read and write ntfs hard drives. So please try again." I'd be interested to hear whether anyone else is able to write to NTFS.

I'm going to go back to your topic, and give that a go - and will then post back here, to let everyone know (hopefully might benefit someone).

Cheers,

Richard.

I've been a HTC user for years but have a friend with a Note 8 and problem I could use your help with. When making calls he would like to be able to access apps without losing calls which he could do on his Note 3, but not on the 8. Does anyone have a way to fix that issue?

What does it do that does not allow it?

My Note 8 is the same as my older Notes, press the home button while on a call to exit out of the call screen, then choose the app you want to run. If the app requires a fast data connection then VoLTE must be enabled (& available on the network).

I have an alcatel 6045b that's currently on eugla firmware but when i get to setup screen

It reboots

It was at lollipop at first

Then I tried to install alek os after installing twrp and unlocking boot loader

But I got mount system errors while flashing the rom

So I rebooted

It rebooted to an unknown os

Same scenario, when it gets to setup it freezes and reboots all over again

I managed to shut it down by holding power button and volume +

I also can't get to twrp no matter what I do

But I can get to download mode

Things I have tried:

Mobile upgrade q: while its working the device reboots from download mode and mobile upgrade q gives me 'download update software package failed'

I then installed the Panasonic eugla file which installed on the device but at setup screen it freezes then reboots.

But I can get to stock recovery now and download mode also.

Pls I really need help in restoring my device

Any piece of help is extremely appreciated.

Sorry for my poor English
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubstepwolf123:
Try again but...

If you are now able to get to download mode try flashing TWRP again but this time try a different ROM. I would recommend Resurrection Remix :o

OK

So I was able to install twrp 2.8.7.0 via sahara tool

Then I copied alek os into the internal storage

Flashed the ROM

But stuck at 'Alcatel' powered by android screen

I then restored mm backup by marionette

And still stuck at Alcatel screen

Then flashed cm 12.1

Same thing

Stuck at Alcatel screen.

I'm confused.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubstepwolf123:
Did you follow the entire tutorial?

I just told you which modules to follow to flash TWRP. Since you flashed a ROM, did you follow the "Wiping the Storage" and "Flashing the ROM" modules?

Also, are you using a 5.5 or 4.7? If you are using the 5.5 I'd recommend using the 3.1.1 TWRP
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frazercrib:
I'm using the 5.5 model

I'll flash the twrp 3.1 now

Must I flash the resurrection remix ROM

Or can I try alek os after wiping storage

Did that but twrp said 'Failed'

I should say on twrp 2.8 mtp is detected by windows

But on twrp 3.1 internal storage is shown as 'removable disk' in windows and it keeps asking me to format before I use it

Tried formatting but I always get 'windows was unable to format' error.

Lets try fixing one issue first.

With TWRP 3.1.1 on Idol 3 it doesn't show up on Windows, even for me.

Thats why to make it show up I have to:

Step 1: Press "Mount"

Step 2: Press "Mount USB Storage"

At that point File Explorer pops up automatically or I have to open it manually but my device shows up.

In TWRP try:

[Oukitel (All phone models)] Lonesome Walker:
Hi together,

since my new phone is pretty new, there are no real custom ROMs available at the moment.

I'd stick to LineageOS, but i prefer to stay with stock rom when xposed would be able to run on my Mix 2 :)

I've understood:

-> root first

-> flash zip file with framework

-> install apk

-> add wanted modules

Okay, root seems to be a bit complicated now since there might be a TWRP image, but this is only available in some russian forums, where the registration gets a bit difficult with the captcha ;)

But when rooted, what to flash next? arm or arm64?

The Oukitel Mix 2 has a Helio P20 (en.wikichip.org/wiki/mediatek/helio/mt6757) which is ARMv8 which can run 64Bit.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Lonesome Walker:
After some issues with the one TWRP availabe, finally fixed and found out that only Magisk seems to work at the moment.

(and it is a good idea to have the actually published system image from Oukitel available, fastboot flash system system.img saves hours ;) )

When updating Magisk, my answer is solved: arm64, now flashing xposed-v89-sdk24-arm64.zip

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] aingtea010:
Dear All,

I am facing endless problems with my Nubia Z17 mini that I recently purchased, and I need help to solve these issues. The issues are

a.	The phone does not receive SMS, and I have to take out the sim card, reboot just to receive SMS. It makes the phone completely useless for financial transaction as I have to accept the bank's OTP by SMS

b.	The phone can make a call, but when receive the call, there is no sound.

c.	Delay notification for WhatsApp, line, emails, facebook, you name it. It only shows after 15 minutes or so.

d.	The 4G LTE connection only works on sim 1, on sim 2, it stuck on 3g. I have swapped the sims and use other sims to test. The results are the same. Is this by default from Nubia?

e.	Battery drain on background extremely fast, unusual for standby phone. The phone only last for 4-hour SOT with brightness 50%. Why is the power consumption very high?

f.	When I try to watch video on youtube (online) or offline players, the video will stop intermittently, average every 1 minutes for an unknown reason. Make it unpleasant to use it to watch any video.

The phone came with Nubia UI 4.0 EN v2.01, and I have flashed and erased it multiple times to V2.10 EN. I have replaced the SMS app to Google but still does not work. Replace dialer with Go dialer and several other methods, but the phone is still full of problem. This is my first time to have a phone comes with so many problems like this. I could not return the phone to seller as the custom process is very complicated.

I am planning to replace the rom with lineageOS, but not sure if it will solve the problem. Any input, suggestion is appreciated

Hopefully someone here can help me

Regards

Aing
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Boostimage:
Hello,

if you have modified the default SMS application, some applications are not compatible (like Android Messages!) Indeed the phone kill some background tasks including Messages application (a firmware update had to correct the problem but it did not change anything for me). I don't know the list of compatible SMS applications but by putting the SMS app by default it works well!

For your battery problem is not normal, it should contact the service who will surely offer you a standard exchange.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (Skiddz):
Phone fell out of my pocket and got run over. Screen is completely black and the digitizer is done as well. If I connect it to my PC, it comes right up, but I have no way to enable USB file transfer mode so I can't "see" the SD card or internal memory. I tried to use Droid@Screen with Android Control, but it appears USB Debugging is turned off on the phone as ADB tells me the device is "unauthorized" and Droid@Screen gives me a "Rejected" status when it connects with the phone. (Yes, I did remove the ADB keys from my PC's ./user/.android folder and tried again)

Recovery is stock so no ADB access to open a shell and tweak anything. I haven't run across an ADB enabled recovery that I can install on this unlocked bootloader. (I can get into download mode and Odin recognizes the phone.) so I thought I'd try the "simple" route.

I bought an MHL adapter and an OTG cable thinking I could use a spare monitor and a mouse to turn on USB debugging or, at a minimum, turn on USB file transfer so I can get my data off the phone. I connected everything up and I can see the display, but mouse movement isn't being passed through the MHL cable assembly. If I plug the OTG cable directly into the phone, the phone does react to mouse movement and clicks and I can get lucky and launch apps, but I can't see WTH I'm doing. The odds of me turning on USB debugging like this are slim.

Anyone know of an MHL adapter that will allow "piggybacking" a USB mouse or an ADB enabled recovery I can flash to the phone? Maybe some uber-secret method to turn on USB debugging without access via ADB?

Yep, have all this working. Replacement phone works so my config is correct. The issue is USB debugging got turned off somehow. If I can get in via ADB, I can tweak the files I need to turn it back on. Or, I can find a MHL/OTG combo that works and just turn it on via the screen. Hell, if I could view the ADB key on the phone, I'd modify that file on my PC and it'd probably work.

Read this one as well. I'm not sure what all gets nuked in the process nor have I researched ADB enabled ROMs. I have 2 files I *need* to get off the phone before I send it back. If I had local copies, I wouldn't sweat it and I'd boot into recovery and since I'm familiar with the order of the menus in there, I can probably do a factory restore. Unfortunately, the 2 files I need were updated/created while I was doing the errands that resulted in the broken screen.

Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/252931732046
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (Skiddz):
Yeah, I've seen a bunch of those, but have read several reviews that state it does not work with the S5. I wish I could find one locally just to try it out and if it doesn't work, I can return it without too much hassle.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (Skiddz):
Just spent almost an hour on the phone with Verizon and Samsung. The 2nd tier person at Verizon said that if the phone was still activated, they *might* be able to get in remotely and tweak the USB Debugging setting for me. I would have to acknowledge the request on the screen, but that may have been doable via blind mouse clicks after seeing where the dialogue was located on the display. Unfortunately, the phone was already deactivated and without a working digitizer, I would not have been able to temporarily reactivate it.

Samsung was slightly better than useless. I had to explain several times, to two different people, the specifics of my situation and they couldn't seem to grasp the idea that both the display and the digitizer were dead and all I was looking for was a way to get MHL and OTG working at the same time. That concept seemed completely foreign to them and they couldn't tell me if the dock they manufactured for the S5 would do what I wanted. The capper was the last person I spoke to all of a sudden said, "Thank you. Have a nice day." and hung up while I was asking a question.

I called Asurion again to see if I could send the replacement phone back (Because the sound quality is so bad it's almost useless. Even the Samsung Advanced Support guy said the quality on his end was crappy.) and just get this screen replaced. They told me "That service is not available in your area (I'm in a city of approximately 1.3 million - surely they'd have a vendor here?) and "we don't replace the digitizer, only the glass." When I asked, "How is that possible when the glass, the LCD and the digitizer are all one unit (At least I've not seen the separate components in my searches) that you can replace the glass?" The response was a seemingly scripted, "We don't replace the digitizer." When I asked if I could just send this replacement back and replace the screen myself, they said the phone would no longer be insured. Same as if I had a "professional" swap it out.

At this point, it appears I'm dead in the water. I'm still going to research the feasibility of cobbling my own cable(s) together before I have to return this phone. This seems so simple to solve, but it's proving to be an exercise in frustration.
