Hello! I am rather new to rooting devices as I have only been able to successfully do it once before as of recently I picked up a new phone that being the Blu Advance L5 and I have no idea how to root it or even unlock the boot loader I have USB debugging turned on as well as allow OEM unlock but whenever I open ADB and I reboot the bootloader into fast boot the device doesn't register and I have had no luck, can anyone tell me what I need to do? thank!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PixelPro:
Whenever I setup Android for the first time, or setup again after resetting my phone, I'm always faced with the same problem. I'm unable to manually perform a backup to Google Drive. The normally blue "Back up now" button is grayed out, and in place of the date and time of the last backup is a message saying, "Waiting to back up..." This message never goes away, even after waiting for days, and a backup never takes place.

I tried every solution I found in my Google searches, but nothing worked except the solution I'm sharing, and it requires ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

How to setup and use ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

Once you have an ADB connection to your phone, enter the following commands exactly as displayed:

[SIZE="4"]adb -d shell
bmgr enabled
bmgr list transports
bmgr backupnow --all[/SIZE]

This should trigger your first Google Drive backup which you should allow to complete. Once the backup completes,

reboot your phone

, and return to the Backup screen. The "Back up now" button should now be blue and enabled, allowing you to manually backup to Google Drive at will. Additionally, Android's automatic daily backups should now work normally as well.

I removed my screen lock and I could back up already.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PixelPro:
Hi Gtasaryder. Yes, I tried this hack too and it worked, but it cannot be a permanent solution because it sacrifices one form of security for another, and this is not viable. Imagine having to leave you phone unlocked just so you can backup. It is like having to open your doors if you want to close your windows to keep thieves out. It's not a practical solution.

[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ck4376:
Is anyone having issues with the responsiveness of Auto Rotate?

At times, apps won't rotate according to my phone's orientation.

It feels worse when using split screen where sometimes it works when I rotate the phone to the left, but it won't flip when I rotate to the right.

I have tried shaking the phone after rotating.

Turn the phone upside down and rotate it to the orientation I want. (sometimes it works this way)

Worst experience is when I am using the phone in landscape mode while driving with GPS app, an incoming call will rotate the phone back to the normal position. (I use bluetooth headset to answer call)

After the call, when the GPS apps is back up, it stays portrait position and it won't rotate back to landscape.

It is dangerous for me to rotate the phone again while driving.

Want to know if others experiencing the same.

I don't have this issue when I was using Oneplus One or Mi A1.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cina:
Hi there!

Kudos to all of the ROM developers out there. I'm getting a hard time to get along with all those new ROMs: which one suits my needs? which one based on what original ROM version? Known issues, startup memory sizes, additional apps, reg tweaks, SPL needed/tested, etc.

So I have an idea of a pinned thread where registered ROM developers can detail some predefined params of their releases for an easy way of comparability for all of us, especially for beginners. Also official ROMs could be included for "milestones". And some trusted reviews should be included in links for each ROMs. And of course discussion should be placed in a separate thread.

Is this possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shure2:
i know what you mean, im following the forum every day on the possibility i will get a diamond, and im even struggling to keep up to date with what is available.

I agree the selection is great, and im sure the different versions of roms available will really make the diamond an even greater smartphone.

What i would advise is a thread with a simple vote on what rom they use on their diamond. This would give a rough estimate of what rom a noobie should try which will give them the most advantages
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] racerx_:
there's already a vote thread in existence, and most (i think all) of the ROMs posted list which version they are based on, as well as any apps removed/added.. shouldn't be that hard to nail down
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] someone1234:
Right now there's not alot of difference between the roms. The basic differences to look for:

1) Have any tweaks been applied already? You can apply these yourself or edit them by reading the tweaks post in the diamond general forum. If you'd like a clean untweaked ROM - with useless stuff removed, then the diamond surface rom is probably for you.

2) What applications have been removed, and do you need them? So far the roms posted only removed useless programs, that wont work (windows update) or are superceeded (MSN by windows live). BUT keep an eye out here, you may see roms WITH and WITHOUT touchflo for example. TLR v2 rom may be for you, you can uninstall touchflo if you want to use another UI like SPB Mobile Shell.

3) Upgradability and current version. What rom is it based on? All roms list this. Also can you upgrade any aspects of the rom without having to hard reset and loose anything. EG TLR roms use app2date to update applications that may have been updated in a new rom. (This is probably why the TLR rom is the most popular)

4) Reputation. Cooked roms rely on the 'cooker' making some decisions on your behalf. What tweaks to use and what not to. What values to set for the tweaks (eg fatfs). If you've had a device before and liked how a certain person works then right now there's so little difference in the cooked roms, you should stick with their work! Eg Elite rom, alot of people are using this rom.

Hope that helps. Me? I'm using TLR v2 with SPB Mobile shell.

Your asking chefs to try all kinds of different apps for compatibility... this is a lot to ask. What you need to do is read the threads, listen to what other users have to say, this will be your best feedback for bugs, compatibility, stability, etc...

Most importantly, just READ instead of polluting with useless threads in the development section

Ok so I just got out of prison and use to have a rooted phone actually I've rooted all my phones I cant find a single walk through for this phone matter of fact I cant find anything on it and I want to root it because I wanna get rid of ads and custom recovery possibly a rom that's more customizable its through straight talk can anyone help me please once again it's a sm-s260dl
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] levone1:
Just bumping this to see if any response. I also have Sm-s260dl, and it's locked up tight. "oem unlock" option is hidden in settings, and I've tried tricks posted online to reveal it, but don't work. I also went to authorized Samsung service, and they couldn't do anything. They are bound by Samsung agreement that they can't flash any fw on a device except for the original stock fw (to repair only), and there is only one file officially available for Sm-s260dl, which is the same fw it has, which is Tracfone branded, (which is probably the reason it's so inaccessible).

I have network unlocked, using Samkey, and have access to freeze system apps and write secure settings, using adb and Island/appops/setedit apps, but would really like to be able to unlock the bl. I know it's made unlockable by Samsung, but how's can I get to it?

Any way to use activity manager or other adb to toggle the switch through terminal, or...?

Thanks

I'm looking for stock firmware for this device. I'm having difficulties flashing the firmware I have found for it. I need the BIT 5 version to flash in Odin.

Thanks.

Souds as if all our s260dl need the same bit, as ive also been searching for it. It is listed as downloadable with Z3x box server, torrent file, so i dont know if there is an atual file attached to it, i dont know. I have been able to get a couple torrents to work, but not this one.I I have chimera, and it has 0 files for this model.

Interesting enough, when looking into this device, I found a post, that shows an image of the s260dl and on the screen the firmware installed is J260Axxxxx.

If i remember correctly, it was a leak before the official release /announcement for the device.

Im thinking itll be accessable soon., or I'll end up getting the z3x box soon anyway. Ill update here if found etc.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] badutahboy:
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions before I flash my phone (or waste my time doing so).

I'm using a Verizon Branded Note 10+ (N975U). However, it's carrier unlocked and being used on Total Wireless (a Verizon MVNO - subsidiary of TracFone).

I'm not getting OTA updates because I'm no longer on "real" verizon service. I verified this by waiting 5 weeks for the Android 10 update, and then popped in a friends VZW SIM and got the update instantly. I'm now behind again (Verizon dropped their most recent update over a month ago w/Jan security patch) and receiving "no update available" using the update firmware option in settings.

Additionally, my total wireless SIM can't populate an APN, and I've had nothing but problems with my data as a result. I'm assuming this is because of the VZW CSC, but not sure.

I'm thinking of flashing to the most current U1 firmware, and hoping/assuming this will resolve my problems. Wondering if anyone has any feedback.

If I do it, should I flash the VZW CSC again, or use the TFN CSC for Tracfone, or XAA for default? Do I need to hard reset? Official or Modded Odin? Etc.. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] badutahboy:
A little further info: If I put an AT&T SIM card into my phone, it will populate the AT&T APN from the SIM card, so I'm assuming my APN issue is that Total Wireless still uses the VZW CSC, and there's a conflict that Verizon firmware overrides the APN setup aspect. However, my Total Wireless SIM card works perfectly fine and populates the APN on my Unlocked S9+. This is a big part of what makes me think going to U1 will help my issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] oakfan1283:
Yes flash the U1, you won't have any issues and will be even better on total wireless. I did the same for MetroPCS

Hello,

I have a GOME C71 as a secondary phone which i use for my work as a test bench (mainly website development)

When i bought it on facebook, there was already all the google stuff installed, but the UI randomly crashed when I pressed the "running app" buton. So i decided to flash a stock firmware (found at needrom.com)

The flash was ok, but now, there is no GAPPS anymore (even if the ROM description says GAPPS included). Tried everything (some Google apps installer : didn't download anything, Installed manually the framework, the services and all other google apps : launch but stuck in verifying information)

So, if someone have a trick to make GAPPS available on this phone, or if someone has a custom ROM with GAPPS, please tell me as i really need google services for testing stuff.

Thanks

Rooted Nexus 6, running the final stock ROM, and TWRP recovery, no problems here.

I have Android File Transfer up and running and it sees my device and I can see the SD/storage folders that AFT allows. No problems here.

I want to transfer a hidden file that you need a root file explorer to find, to my Mac. I have a root file explorer and found the file I want to transfer. I used TWRPs file manager to put it in the "downloads" folder of SDCARD, so I can see it in Android File Transfer. So far so good. No problems here either.

Problem: When I try to drag that file to my desktop, it blocks me and I get an error window saying: "couldn't not replace file" in the top line of and "could not copy file blah blah blah.epub However, when I try to drag other files to from that folder to my desktop, I have no problems. Just these particular ones.

It is a Barnes and Noble Nook e-book file that I dug out of the hidden folders of the app using a root explorer. But something is blocking me from copying it from my phone's SD, downloads folder to my desktop.

Any ideas?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jsp91470:
For a while now I've been running AP4 and like a number of people here, I found that the GPS intermediate driver did not work properly. The GPS ID is, of course, the utility that allows multiple programs to share the GPS device and is controlled by the External GPS utility in Settings. I found that my programs could access the GPS using whatever program port I selected in that utility-- provided the program I was using allowed me to select the port myself, like TomTom or Google maps when set to specify the port. This also affected the GPS Photo function in the Camera app-- you'd get an error saying "Could not initialize GPS." This workaround fixes that as well.

However, in programs that attempt to automatically connect to the GPS using the External GPS applet-- such as GPSToday or Google maps when set to use Windows settings-- the GPS would apparently turn on (the red light starts blinking) but the program would never obtain a fix.

I've finally figured out how to fix it (pun intended).

For those of you that have been around the block a few times, here's the short and simple fix-- extract gpsid_HTC.dll from the AP3 Dual ROM and copy it to \Windows.

For newbies, here's the details of how to do it.

First, download a copy of AP3 Dual and extract it to a folder.

Then, download the Irus Rom Kitchen.

Extract the contents of the kitchen somewhere. You'll end up with a folder called rom tools.

In this folder, run the program called "NBH Extract tool." Click "decompile NBH file," then point it to the RUU_signed.nbh file in the AP3 Dual folder. Tell it where you want to save the extracted files and click OK. This may take a few minutes.

Once you've done that, open a command prompt. and go to the folder where you extracted the ROM kitchen. For example:

cd \

cd c:\rom tools

Then use the imgfsfromnb utility. For example, if you extracted the NBH to c:\ap3, type this:

imgfsfromnb c:\ap3\Windows.nb c:\ap3\imgfs.bin

It will create one more file in c:\ap3.

Then run the final command:

imgfstodump c:\ap3\imgfs.bin

This will dump the contents of the ROM to a subdirectory called "dump" under the folder where the ROM kitchen was extracted. If you extracted the ROM kitchen to c:\rom tools\, then under that is a folder called dump.

This will take several minutes to extract. When it's done, you'll see a whole bunch of folders under dump. The one you're looking for is called gpsid_HTC.dll. In that folder are seven files, but the only one you want is called gpsid_HTC.dll. Copy that file to the storage card on your phone.

Then use your favorite file copy utility on the phone to copy gpsid_HTC.dll from the card to \Windows in main memory. I had no success copying the file from thie PC directly to \Windows on the phone using WMDC, which is why I copied it to the card first. Reboot the phone and it's all set. Google Maps and GPSToday can obtain a fix without specifying a COM port, and GPS Photo works!

Will this gpsid.dll fix the Google Maps position error? What I mean is that some times, in Google Maps, I hit "My Location" and it registeres like at least 2 or 3 miles from where I'm at. However, the location 'radius' sometimes cover where I'm actullay at.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jsp91470:

Hi Folks,

thanx to the hard work in this forum I can solve 99.999 percent on my own.

But I have a rather curious gps behaviour.

Everytime a program connects to gps my GSM orange alert LED starts blinking even my phone is off. Furthermore I have the other problem: satellites yes but no fix nor any reception at all.

I tried a new radio (1.57/1.58), new ROMS (AP4, AP3, Irus, etc), hard/soft-resetted many times but still now chance at all. With this file my last hope was gone.

I don't know what else can I do? Any suggestions, please?

Thanx!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] techntrek:
Unfortunately the GPS system in the Athena is very picky. Look through the sub-forums for a popular thread that discusses good settings, for starters. Then realize you will never get a position lock when you are inside. You must be outside, usually in a car is fine. Sometimes it will maintain a lock inside a house but not always. It also can take some time even with the best of conditions.

I got tired of seeing the blinking LEDs, so I disabled them in the registry. I believe all of them do still blink even when the unit is in standby.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NODeeJay:
Thank you for your idea, my LEDs are disabled too. But in the moment I use GPS the orange LED is blinking.

Tried it the whole night ouside with an external antenna - which worked great with my BT GPS - and I tried it one afternoon at 3000m and a very good 360° sight.

Even the beginner thread (best GPS settings) I read 2 or 3 times as well as the other "gps not working" or "urgent help gps" threads.

The thing is, I don't get signal anywhere. Satellites yes, but no signal? There has to be a way, broken antenna would not see any sat so it has to be software relevated.

With ceMonitor the gps was responding $GPSA etc. but no fix, only satellites. So GPS is there, is reporting satellites nearby and other devices find at last some sats, perhaps not a fix?

TouchPro INDOOR after less than a minute.

For sure I tried QuickGPS and without of course.

Any other suggestions? Radio ROM brick?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
I had this sat available and no fix mystery long time ago.

Tried many different rom, none really solve it. Worst with ship rom.

What I discovered lately, I wouldn't dare to say sure work, perhaps give it a try.

Set the hardware com5 baud rate to 115200. Config the gps software baud rate at

different selection. You need patience to monitor and find which setting is best.

Well, I was taught long ago on data comm, it must match but not with Athena.

I strongly believe the gps hardware in our Athena is somehow screw up big time at HTC.
