[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Pessimist101:
My Mi 8 got bricked by the latest MIUI update. I installed the software update from settings and clicked reboot and it booted straight to TWRP (more on that in a bit). I tried rebooting to system but it just went straight back to TWRP. I have unlocked the bootloader and also rooted my phone but as I kept the stock ROM I wouldn't think this would break it. In hindsight, after doing a bit of looking around it seems like people tend to reflash stock.img before updating or something when they've rooted their phone? Wish I'd known that before I clicked update.

I tried flashing a different ROM but when I go to reboot it just says "no OS installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" and just goes into bootloop stuck on the Mi logo

using fastboot adb tools I can boot it into TWRP (has never worked using the volume and power buttons) and flashing ROMs seems to go okay but reboot says no OS installed and it bootloops, as I said.

I've tried flashing the latest MIUI build for my device, pixel experience, lineage OS and all of them yield the same results. Happy to answer any questions and try out any suggestions that anyone has. I'm really quite desperate!

SOLUTION: I flashed the stock firmware using the xiaomi mi flash tool. This fixed pretty much everything apart from now the camera doesn't work lol

So me being an absolute clown (have performed almost every single maintenance and repair on my s8 at least 100 times without trouble) i am replacing my battery for the 3rd time (this one swelled up like a b**ch)

During the repair i ripped off the wireless QI charging coil by accident... i threw it away without thinking about it (as i never wirelessly charge EVER) And now the phone wont charge. Im getting the "charging stopped as temps too low" nonsense.... i now know this is because i have done away with the wireless coil (new part is on order) but i need a way to charge my phone now!!!! i have tried charging in safe mode... nada any other suggestions? need dem powers for my phone!

Thanks

Hello,

I have acquired an Acer tablet that we used for my grandparents called GrandPad by Consumer Cellular. There is a really stripped down software/OS on it that is more "elderly friendly". I know the user interface is built on top of Android (maybe 6.0-6.1). My question is how to I find a custom ROM and installation instructions on this so I can make this thing a decent functioning tablet? I'm having a hard time finding anything about this. Not sure if Acer took another variant of their tablet and made it exclusive to Consumer Cellular.

Here's all the info I have on it. Not sure how to access the Android info on top of the current software.

Model: A6201

SNID: 81790091576

S/N: FFHZ8AA008817DBF337602

Hi there , I would try to look if theres any rom for it , can you upload screenshots of the ui? Also , please remove the IMEI part as it is not necessary and it is a potential security risk for you if someone uses it .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2946:
Hello ThatLatinGuy,

I have tried endlessly searching for a ROM. I just can't find much info at all on ACER Android tablets in general, and much less on this specific model they made for a cellular company.

As far as the stock UI, you can do a web search for GrandPad Consumer Cellular. Apparently I can't give the link because I don't have 10 post yet.

After posting this, I did hold down the (power and +- volume) button and got to the Android recovery screen to do a factory reset thinking it would reset back to Android 6.0.1. I did work....sort of. The "grandpad" UI is no longer there, but it does boot up to some application called "GrandPad Eagle". I assume this is some kind of software they ran on top of Android when developing the tablet's interface??? There is an option on that screen to do a hardware test. When I touch on that it opens some Android app called Alpaca. From there I can swipe down from the top screen and access the Android settings menu. There's no launcher and I've even tried to sideload .apk apps (with unknown sources turned on) but gives me an error about it can't read file. It let me turn on developer options in the settings.

I can try to upload some images, but every time I go to insert image it wants a link and not a location on this site. Tried Google photos link and that didn't work apparently. Anyway, any settings specifically might help just let me know and I'll try to get it on here somehow...maybe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatLatinGuy:
Well this sounds really familiar , I was in the same boat a few years ago with a 2012 kindle fire HD so I will try to apply the same principle here . I have also tried to look for information about this tablet and only got the specs , wich are actually pretty good , but anyway does the tablet have an internet browser? if so type fdroid an download the app install it and open it , search for a launcher so you can atleast use the tablet .

If not , how are you sideloading it? with adb ? or does this tablet support mtp?

You can try to upload the pictures to google photos and upload the link with some characters in between (something like : www----photoservice_x2323-com)

Havent found anything about the Granpad Eagle app, although Im pretty sure that your assumptionis correct , and the Alpaca app is equally obscure , so please try to upload the picture of those .

Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2946:
The tablet has no browser. Very very limited apps in general. I tried to download the apk apps for chrome and nova launcher. I can push them from my computer to the tablet . But when I touch to install it, I get an error saying it can't read the APK file. Don't know why it would say that. I do have trust unknown sources checked.

I'll see what I can do about the pics.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2946:
Update...

I managed to install new apps via ADB. I was able to remove the grandpad eagle from ADB as well. I rebooted the tablet and the Nova Launcher (app I installed) settings came up.

Main problem now is that there is no navigation buttons on the bottom. There's no way I can go back or home. Not sure yet how to enable them. It's a bit annoying when you can't go back to the home screen or switch apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatLatinGuy:
Gotcha , download this apk and push it , its like that floating button in the iphone it is not a perfect solution but it works .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2946:
Thanks,

Even though the OEM stuff is off...the Android OS is still a little quirky. For example, there is no way to put it to sleep with the hardware buttons. And I have to hit the power and volume up button to power it off. Just random stuff like that.

Oh well, it's better than it was. Just wish I could do a fresh restore without the OEM stuff. Or better yet, a custom ROM. Which seems like is impossible since this tablet is so unique.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisearse:
Hey y'all,

I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...

I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:

SyncManager: Sync Device...

RegisterManager: Registering...

EagleAPI: Starting Register...

RegisterManager: Register Success

EagleAPI: Starting Sync...

AutoWIFIManager: doGiraffeWIFISearch >> no matches

That's pretty much it. If I click Hardware Test, it goes to something called Alpaca, which runs through all hardware tests with no issues. From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings and all that. From there, I've enabled developer mode and USB debugging, as well as install from unknown sources.

As the OP originally stated, there is no web browser and I've had zero luck installing any APKs or anything; I can't even get Chrome on there via ADB.

Any thoughts or advice?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datriad:
Just wanted to update this thread and see if anyone else has made any progress. I have the Acer A8202 model.

Grandpad apps removed. (until factory reset) use a usb keyboard and hit escape to get access to the system menu then enable developer and adb. Nav bar is under Display. I installed a browser, Aptoide and a launcher via adb. I am still working on the status bar(working in settings but not in all other apps) I believe there is a full screen mode system wide setting on in the build.prop file. temp solution is "Material Status bar" and "Mi control center" for a status bar. Google play services install but constantly crash. I was also able to unlock the bootloader. but to edit the system files will need root and a Twrp img file that doesn't give black screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrprada:
I got the exact same model A8202. I am trying to "Apply update from ADB" and it says to "send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" Where do I find the package (OTA update ?)

I am looking for it too. There's got to be somebody out there who can provide an OTA package to upload via ADB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrprada:
How did you "manage to push new apps via adb"? for me "adb devices" shows nothing...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrprada:
"From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings" I can see Alpaca but I can't get to the settings. Mine is A8202. Is that why it's missing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datriad:
Hrprada, there isn't a Stock package/rom that we can use. In order to side load apps you will need to make sure developer and adb are enabled. Google is your friend to get those. All i did was use a usb keyboard to show the menu. then swipe down.

Since Android 8.0+ one of my favorites games lost its default notification sounds that I was used to hearing for years. I finally got fed up talking to devs who are not even slightly interested in understanding the problem and extracted the sounds from the apk myself. So I thought I'd share them for anyone else who might be facing the same issue.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] k3lcior:
It supports only Intra-Band Carrier Aggregation (used mostly in Asia), in Europe for example you need Inter-Band Carrier Aggregation and that is not supported.

So LTE+ might work depending on where you from and what Carrier Aggregation your sim operator supports.

Also i think it's only supported by Redmi Note 4x (india/China variant), Global variant doesn't support LTE+ at all AFAIK. (homever it supports more LTE bands)
