Ok, it now seems I can (temp.?) fix the hardware buttons on the front of the Wizard doing nothing by opening the keyboard and hitting something like the windows key. Then all the front buttons work again.

I notice when the buttons are disabled often hitting the middle button (inside the up/down/left/right) brings up "Align Screen" for who knows what reason.

How annoying. I'm gonna flash another ROM and see if the problems go away. (currently using latest TNT Official)

EDIT: Still some buttons (q, e, i, g, h) are no longer working. What on earth has happened here?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SMS92:
Right, just flashed it back down to T-Mobile 2.26 and the randomness problems seem to have gone away [EDIT: No they haven't] but I still have completly lost the use of q, e, i, g and h. I have no idea how this has happened. Last night I had a low battery (first time) and the phone started going nuts at this point, when it was under 10% charge left.

Since then it's been very random. But I charged it up overnight and the problem hasn't gone away. Some of the random stuff it was doing was typing 'hhhhh' and 'eeeeee' non-stop (2 of the buttons that no longer work) which makes me think a chipset has screwed up in some way. Keyboard backlight is on constantly. It's the sorta thing I'd expect if I dropped it in a sink of water but the phone hasn't been under any sort of shock/pressure/water/whatever since I got it last week!

I'm beyond frustrated. :( To top it all the MiniSD card I ordered days ago finally arrived today and it's now completly useless.

Dunno what I'm gonna do now. :S

Final Edit: Ok so it looks like it could be something up with the Wizard itself, could anyone confirm?

- The button in the centre of the joypad either 1. Acts as 'Start' or opens 'Align Screen', this is completly random. (sometimes changes on opening/closing the keyboard???)

- Either the joypad works and the Answer/Reject buttons don't or vice versa - this too is completly random.

- The Left / Right softkeys on the KEYBOARD (top left, top right) work randomly. If they are working the keyboard doesn't work, and again VICE VERSA.

- The LEDs on the call reject button / keyboard are on constantly. This only changes for a time if i mash the keyboard.

- The 5 letters mentioned previously don't work unless I mash the keyboard, in which case the Wizard will sometimes take over typing for itself and then I'm able to use the keys afterwards again. (yeah, I understand this makes absolutely no sense!)

- The Wizard will completly spontaniously start opening random stuff and typing as if keys are jammed.

I've flashed to Tmob 2.26, 3.08, WM6.1 (TNT) & WM6.1 (another cook) and have exactly the same problem. This all points towards broken hardware. I should have guessed with the amount of dents, scratches and a broken button that this poor Wizard has been through the mill a few times! Shame it had to use me as its death bed!

If anyone can recommend anything to what it might be and what I could do to fix it then please let me know.

Thanks!

Wow! You're not much for letting other people get a word in edge-wise, are ya?

First thing:

Make sure you don't have Smartskey installed (look in Windows\Startup and in Program Files). If you do, uninstall it, it's been corrupted somehow.

Otherwise:

Ok, I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I think it's just the age of these phones. They get old, they get dirty. Don't believe me? Take off your battery cover and look at the grime that's gathered at the edges. Imagine what that does to your buttons!

You need to open the case, disassemble the keyboard section (and the faceplate too, for good measure), and thoroughly clean the contacts, the buttons, etc. The further you disassemble, the cleaner you will get it. See this thread for a manual on disassembly/reassembly:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=378764

Use good quality sterile cotton swabs (no dollar store crap for this), and pure (not dyed) isopropyl alcohol. Dab the swab in alcohol, and gently scrub every inch of the contacts, the circuit board faces, and the buttons.

When that's done, wait for it to dry...and I mean as dry as a mummy fart. DRY. Inspect everything carefully, looking for loose cotton threads, debris, and most important, streaks. Streaks mean you just smeared the gunk around without picking it up. If you find cotton or debris, use canned air to remove it. DO NOT USE TWEEZERS OR OTHER METAL IMPLEMENTS TO DO THIS. If you find streaks, go back and clean it again.

Once it is both dry and clean, reassemble it and test it. You should be good to go unless there's something broken.

If neither of these things works, I would strongly urge you to consider committing a violent act on the individual who sold you the phone... you probably won't get your money back, but it might make you feel better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SMS92:
Cheers, the thing has me at my wits end. :) Keep having to remind myself it's only a phone ;)

Yeah it's def not Smartskey or a soft problem as I've flashed it a whole bunch of times this afternoon.

From mashing the keyboard and causing it to do different things it looks to be a hardware problem (or full of junk like you say). I grabbed the pdf manual to look through but don't feel too comfortable taking the thing apart just yet. :)

I just slapped it about a bit as best I could out of frustration and unbelivably it seems to have come back to it's former glory. I'm not gonna get my hopes up and expect it to stay like this though.

Yeah it was an ex-company phone from a company upgrading their stock so no refunds / replacements. :( I guess if the worst comes to the worst it'll go on ebay as faulty and I'll be without a little gadget I really craved! Back to my £10 Sagem for the time being.

Thanks for the reply.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SMS92:
Hi mate, your problem sounds similar to mine. Especially about the lights (though my green light is broken and only shows occasionally - came like that). You'll probably find that when it's in that state the problems arise.

Mine screwed up again after about an hour of my last post and the keyboard barely works at all now. Mashing it / hitting it / swearing at it isn't doing any good. I've virtually given up.

I'm not sure about a CID re-lock btw, but would Vodafone bother check to see if it was CID locked or not on return?

But hey, it sounds like a hardware malfunction. Good luck with yours & keep us updated if you find any kind of resolution !

[Android Head-Units] 98 ss:
Has anyone been able to mirror their screens to a secondary screen, but keep the sound playing through the head unit?

I want to mirror the display to my rear DVD screen, but it has become somewhat of a task! I bought a unit thinking it could output the image on the screen, not realizing it just served as a pass through for an aux input.

So then I moved on to using a Chromecast inside the car with an HDMI to RCA converter. I am able to set the Chromecast up and cast to it. I can even use the home app and mirror my screen to it. The problem becomes that the sound is forwarded to the device you are mirroring to.

I've tried every mirroring app on the play store with no luck. The most promising looked like Screen Stream Mirroring" but it just gives me a green screen when it links to the Chromecast. I'm also not having any luck rooting my MTCE-GS unit to enable the internal audio option.

Another route I tried was to use SoundAboutPro, or Lesser Audio Switch, but it looks like SAP doesn't work with Oreo, and LAS couldn't keep the audio stream when mirroring was selected.

Ideas?

[ZTE Trek 2 Questions & Answers] evilwise:
I think we need a concise guide to how to get TWRP up and running on the K88 Trek 2 HD because I'm stuck and I don't want to flash the wrong thing and brick it

1 - Downloaded jasminetool, jasmine-twrp-7.1-r3.img, and zadig-2.4.exe

2 - Enabled USB debugging on K88

3 - Rebooted to EDL mode via adb reboot edl

4 - Used zadig-2.4.exe to install WinUSB driver

5 - Used jasminetool read recovery stockrecovery.img and got success - img file is 49,152kb

6 - Used jasminetool write recovery jasmine-twrp-7.1-r3.img (24,576kb?) and got success

7 - System reboots and restores stock recovery

I tried preventing the automatic reboot and when I try to go to recovery with volume+ and pwr it just flips up the logo and reboots like there's a problem, I presume the system is restoring the stock recovery because of this. System is Android 6.0.1 kernel 3.10.84

What should I do?

Also, my goal is to get a normal dialer for cell phone calling on the tablet and I'm just assuming that AOKP does since no one answered when I asked in the rom thread so if someone could also answer that question for me before I go to all this effort for no real reason that would be great
[ZTE Trek 2 Questions & Answers] evilwise:
Currently operating under the assumption I need to manually update to official 7.1 (jasmine-7.1.1b15-full.zip) via the stock recovery then repeat the above steps since I now notice that version matches the twrp version

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] drckml:
It's been a year already since I checked this sub and I am still using the TWRP that flickers and is chinese. Is there like an upgraded version for our device? Specifically for the non elite variant US version?

I think I might have screwed my phone because after I flashed a new rom(RR) my internal storage won't mount on recovery and when I connect it to pc. But I can see it in my phone when I'm on system(thank god) This is weird because I have not put any security lock on my phone before backing it up. So I am assuming that I need to update my TWRP to something latest to solve this issue, but I haven't been keeping up to this sub, i don't know if there's a newer compatible of TWRP.

And I also forgot why I did not went with the official one from TWRP. Maybe because it messes up the bootloader? or something like that, forgot since it's been a year already and I remember reading into a guide to use the chinese twrp.

[Solved]

If this happens to your device and you happen to use the chinese screen flicker fest TWRP, just go on and flash the latest official TWRP for our device. And you're going to be able to see your internal storage again.

you can either flash it ADB or from your recovery, but I flashed mine through TWRP
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] drckml:
Thanks for the detailed response! :o

my issue was, I can go to recovery but it is not mounting my internal storage. It was showing as 0mb. I am aware that this is usually happens when you encrypt your device and back it up in the recovery and try to restore. But I never put any encryption on my device let alone it doesn't even ask me for a password when I am on the recovery. Anyway, I solved it by just flashing the latest official TWRP on our device. And I'm glad that I am finally away from the buggy chinese twrp.

I was just worried if there was any dangers on flashing the official latest twrp because I am seeing a lot of people getting bricked. So much for the halfassed allowing us to unlock our bootloader in this device by leeco.

Anyway, I really appreciate all that detailed guide. I will keep them in reference in the future.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
That's great!

In the future

If you have an encryption issue again, and you have latest tarp and magisk.

Just format storage and reboot to recovery, then wipe and issue will be resolved.

Hey guys, so I flashed the phone with a new rom but after first boot it says "This device is locked". Only way to unlock it is to join my wifi but I can't because the keyboard won't come up to type the password. I also tried flashing official MIUI rom...same thing. I think I have done something I shouldn't, because it was fine before.

Ok, I solved it. The keyboard does pop up when you are asked to input your mi account password, so I just pressed the "make password visible" button, put the password, copy it and then paste it in the wifi menu.

I am still on the chinese screen flicker fest twrp on my X277. There is generally few information about this. It's been more than a year since I went to this sub and worked on my X727 that's why I am pretty clueless.

I forgot why I needed to use the custom chinese flicker fest twrp and not the official one(maybe there's no official one that time or it is not required to use the official one that time for many reasons?). But I wanna make sure before I flash the one from the official app, because this device has a **** ton of issues from getting hard bricks here and there.

I have a Kogan KALED55KU8000SZA 55-inch Smart TV - identified by My Device Pro as an "MStar Android TV" from "MStar Semiconductor", using the "arbutus" board and the "monet" hardware. It runs Android TV 5.1.1 ("Lollipop"), Build aosp_arbutus-userdebug 5.1.1 LMY47V 1.1.20170720.153235 test-keys. There is a hardware report attached in PDF, courtesy of the "Device Info HW+" Android application from Andrey Efremov.

I've asked elsewhere on this site about replacing Android TV with another Linux-based operating system (such as Ubuntu), however as I expected, it's looking like this might not be a realistic solution... So now I would like to "root" this "smart" television, in order to remove some of the rubbish which is included and set the "smart" television to either switch to HDMI "x" when I turn it on or automatically run Kodi/XBMC for Android when I turn the "smart" television on.

Courtesy of Xda Developers, I have thus far tried:

* -Key Root Master (MOD Version) 1.3.6, which crashes when I try to run the application;

* KingRoot 5.3.7, which does not seem to work (it counts up to 25% on the "Aquiring Root" screen, then tells me that "root failed");

* Framaroot 1.9.3, which tells me Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot.

I can see that KingRoot supposedly has more "root" success via USB debugging, but I cannot seem to get the "developer" mode to appear because when I do the "click on build seven times" thing, nothing happens and no extra menus appear... The "smart" television has multiple USB ports and wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity; I'd need to physically check but (Android) settings seems to think it has an ethernet port too,

Has anyone has any luck "rooting" these "smart" televisions?

Another solution is Plex TV which IMHO is superior to Kodi.

Plex apps available for all OS, or you can use a browser.

Obviously you need a server.

The new Kogan Android TV rocks or just use Chromecast & a device to drive it.

Sorry but best I can suggest.

Hi gregoryopera,

Did you find any clues ?

I must thank you for all your post on internet, because you made me learn that your TV is a clone of mine, and I managed to find the mstar_upgrade.bin for yours, that include the google play files i was needed in order to make my tv little bit more clever ^^

I wasn't able to root mine, but as you can get a root access through ADB (thanks to the "user debug" state), you can already do many things..

from what i found, you could remove unwanted apk with this :

./adb connect #ip_of_tv#

./adb root

./adb connect #ip_of_tv#

./adb remount

./adb shell pm list packages

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.#copy-paste_package_name#

For launching specified apk at start, you could use Launch on Boot app, which didn't require a rooted devices

For info, after adding my tv device id to the https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ page, and few hours of delay, i was able to use the google play, and then i was able to update google play services 14.7.99 (020400-223214910)

Now I fighting with it in order to use a bluetooth dongle (all drivers and files are already present in the system, but I'm unable to activate the bluetooth..)

Another point I'm looking at, is to add widevine drm support to it, since the original nexus player build.id=LMY47V was supporting it..

Could you please send me some picture of your system UI (I'm thinking about flashing my "philips" mstar arbutus tv with your "kogan" mstar arbutus firmware... philips created an incredible ****e for this tv, android settings hidden, home page is a philips store app suggestions loader (totally useless)...) or tell me where you may have post it already ?

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2

SM-T710 8.0" Wifi

Nougat with all the latest updates

Wife hands me her tablet the other day and it is stuck in safe mode. Using notification shade link to turn off safe mode simply reboots to safe mode. To make this worse, the other method of on/off safe mode is to hold vol down with power. It seems the volume down button has failed. When android is running, pressing volume up raises the volume as normal, pressing volume down does nothing. Same in recovery, volume up works, volume down does not.

Looking around for solutions, I stumbled on this:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/how-exit-safe-mode-samsung-phones-simple-solution-here-1727011/

which claims to allow safe mode disabling with root. Ok, so I figure I need to root the tablet, no big deal. Well I'm stuck, I can't get it to work.

I've follow every guide I can find. Most all of them start with rebooting to download mode. The standard method is to hold volume down again, can't do that. So instead I use adb (adb reboot download). The use Odin to flash TWRP - no go. Every instruction I can find also says to hold volume down after Odin finishes the flash. Just powering off, and then holding vol up + power + home doesn't get me anywhere. I can boot back to android, reboot recovery, and it is only the stock. Even tried flashing a nougat (supposed) version of CF autoroot. That does something more, because the boot screen warns me that SE Andriod is not enforcing. But even that simply ends with rebooting to Android, no root. Interestingly, the last step in the CF Autoroot says "Restoring Stock Recovery", not sure why.

Ok, so there it all is. I'm stuck. Anyone have any ideas

a) how to get safe mode off with no vol down button

b) how to actually successfully root the latest nougat (again, with no vol down button)

Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks
