[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] bigajm:
I have a Lenovo P2, unrooted, on stock Android, with a 256mb micro SD card. It hasn't been unlocked/flashed/rooted in any way apart from Developer Options to allow ADB.

A couple of days ago the phone started to lag and lock up, and then rebooted into "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" menu. The only options are Start/Barcodes/Power Off.

The Start and Power Off/On options simply reboot back to the same screen after a couple of seconds. It won't boot back into Android with any combination of volume up/down/power buttons, or offer me any other options such as recovery or clear cache etc.

I've tried rebooting with/without the SD card - it makes no difference.

The phone still appears to be recognised by ADB when I connect it to a laptop - it appears in 'fastboot devices' - but I still can't get it to exit fastboot and boot back into Android with any ADB command.

I've tried downloading Reiboot and "15 second adb" toolkits which claim to exit fastboot mode, but without success.

I'm assuming the bootloader is corrupted.

Can anyone please point me towards any possible action for fixing it, or is it bricked?

Many thanks.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
The thing you are on now is the bootloader...

What you did is probably soft bricked the phone.

What did you perform with adb?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
If your rom is not booting you might need to reinstall it.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] bigajm:
Here's what I've tried with ADB - the phone seems to be connected as evidenced by "fastboot devices", but I don't know what to do now. "Fastboot reboot" just brings me back to the same Fastboot screen in my original post, as does holding down vol+/vol-/power for several seconds.

I successfully unlocked/flashed a ZTE San Francisco Blade back in the day, so I don't mind trying to flash this P2 if that's the answer and you can point me towards a noob-friendly guide, please.

Reinstall the stock rom from fastboot
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] bigajm:
@Kenora_I

To try and reinstall stock, I'm following the instructions here --> https://xdaforums.com/t/lenovo-p2-fastboot-files-of-every-stock-firmware.3649914/

and have downloaded all the firmware files linked on that page, ie https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=205781

Do I need to unlock the bootloader first?

Well, when I tried to "fastboot oem unlock", I got

fastboot oem unlock

...

FAILED (remote: oem unlock error: partition tampered

I then tried the Flash commands given, and got this error;

Fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'system' (260121 KB)...

OKAY [ 9.303s]

writing 'system'...

FAILED (remote: Not official valid sparse image)

finished. total time: 9.379s

I got this with every set of firmware files on the download link. Am I trying to use the wrong firmware images?

Thanks for any tips and suggestions.

You have to find and flash a valid flash image, try with the same version you were installed on

[SOLVED]

------------------------ DISABLED AD SOFTWARE ----------------------

Amazon Fire 8 Plus

I have a Windows 7 computer 64 bit system. Toolbox launches, but I cannot select any menu item. I get an "exception error" the moment I try to set the theme, I get this: "Unhandled exception error has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. It also says:

Access to path 'C\Users\some path\Settings.txt' is denied.

When I click continue, the error goes away, and the toolbox menu is still present but does not execute. I try to click menus, or set theme, and it appears to be frozen. The unhandled exception box appears once again, if I try to set the theme.

I have also tried to "Run as Administrator" and it still does not work.

Can someone please help with this issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
There has to be a way because I have seen this app when trying to send an attachment via e-mail or WhatsApp.

I need this in order to access the files that any app publishes to the native storage provider thing (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider), for example like Adobe's Apps do on Android and iOS.

For example, with this:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Riyal:
There's none there. What you see is the Android File Picker. It looks like the default file manager of android because it is not skinned. But it is no way the same as the stock android file manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
SOLVED:

(1) It does exist.

(2) Settings > Apps > Click the grayish icon to the right of "Your apps" (Filter and sort) > Toggle Show system apps to ON.

(3) Scroll down to F and you will see the default Android Files app is present and alive, just not directly accessible.

(4) How do you gain access to this?: I use the "Shortcut Maker" app from the Play Store. In this app, go to Activities, click on Files, and select "com.android.documentsui.files.FilesActivity" to make a shortcut to this app.

This is how you access the native storage access framework. This lets you access different Google Drive accounts directly and also access something like Adobe Suite app files too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Could you elaborate how this works? I am trying to decide if it's worth the education to try to get this working on my device.

I don't need to access different Google Drive account or Adobe Suite app files, but maybe there is another benefit to using this hidden app?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Have you ever tried the Files App in an iOS device?

You know how certain apps let you access their files and folders directly through that system app?

It's sort of like how iCloud or Dropbox or OneDrive lets you access their files directly through the native framework of your desktop OS.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Ah, I've not used iOS devices.

So it sounds like this is sort of like a file manager, but it lets you get access to system files, hidden files, or other files that would normally be off limits?

Or is this sort of like an unlock code, where once you run the app, then various files become accessible that were previously locked down?

Maybe it comes down to what that means "access ... directly through the native framework" of the OS.

What does it mean to access directly through the native framework?

I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US&gl=US as my preferred file manager on my S21 Ultra. But I don't know what I could also do if I used the native framework instead of a dedicated file manager? Would that unlock access to files that x-plore simply cannot access?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Sort of.

You have to try it to see what I mean.

Look at the left panel of the native Android Files app.

You'll quickly see what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dubiousmike:
Just wanted to express my sincere thanks for this solution! Got my Pixel 6 Pro this evening and was very disappointed to discover that the option of opening storage settings and clicking on files, which still works on my 4 XL, doesn't prompt the choice between the new and old files apps on the 6 Pro. Thanks so much for the clear explanation / guide on how to ditch the handcuffs and recapture access to the full file system.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sweets11:
I have been trying to replace the my files app in the print to PDF function but Samsung's My Files continues to persist. I have the Files app shortcut but can't find a way to change it to be the default file picker. Anyone been able to figure this out?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AndroDroid12:
Solved the issue on Pixel 6 Pro.

1. disable Google files.

2. Then go to play store and download this open source app.

3. It will open system files app

4. Enable Google files app again if you want

5. Open files shortcut app it will ask which app to open.

6. Select system files app.

7. Done!

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] OMGeeky:
This helped me a lot but do you maybe have a solution that would let me copy files from somewhere to another apps storage? Because as soon as I open the copying dialogue I can no longer see the folders for the apps etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] pavithrang:
Life saver! Thank you so much. Worked like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] locuturus:
For more advanced use cases you can use intents to call the system Files app (also called DocumentsUI).

The important bits of the intent are these:

(1) android.intent.action.VIEW

(2) content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3APictures%2FMessages

This bare bones intent will offer to open Files at sdcard/Pictures/Messages (assuming that folder exists). Modify to match the folder you want to open. This format is for local storage. Other SAF locations would use different content:// provider roots.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VishwR:
Great. It worked exactly. Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VishwR:
Great. It worked exactly. Thanks

Great. Worked as exact it could be. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] locuturus:
You can do this a couple of ways.

If you want to move files into an app directory you can make a second window from the Files app menu at the top right. Now split screen the two Files windows. Now you can drag and drop files from one to the other.

If you want to copy files into an app directory you need a mouse or a keyboard. Right-click a file and pick copy with a mouse, or Ctrl + c with a keyboard. Then navigate to your destination and right-click paste, or Ctrl + v with a keyboard to complete the copy. This also works for moving files but you can skip the accessories like I said above.

Anytime you want to copy or move a file out of the app directory you can use the normal copy/move options in the menu. The reason you can't copy or move into app directories using the normal menu is that menu launches the directory picker and that is restricted like all other apps are.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kashkool:
Thnx
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
In case anyone stumbles upon it. I needed it to delete bugreports which is not possible in Samsung's own file manager. By using adb shell you can launch it manaully by entering:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.documentsui/com.android.documentsui.files.FilesActivity
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] IndirectPointer:
Thank you nixnixnixnix4! This is a useful file manager and I have wanted to access it again.

I use a PDF creator and manager which is hideous about putting the PDF files created from webpages in a data directory that I could not access. All I can think is it wants me to use its cloud, so that I could use up space and need to buy more cloud. But I like clear skies wherever possible.

This was not a total solution. I had to do other things to get this to work, primarily rolling back the stock Android file manager so that I could access the data directory.

Solution to access android/data subfolders in Android 12/13/14 [Pixel, maybe even other devices/ROMs] IF it's broken for you.

Since on the original WM6 provided by Orange 3D acceleration was disabled, I updated my device with 3.8 ROM (WM 6.1). It worked fine for a time, but now every time I turn on my device from sleep mode, I see a Dial screen with combination of F, C and D's. Also no matter if I use it or not, the Record button activates by itself (I disabled it in CP because recordings were filling up my memory). These activities drain my battery in horrible speed, whilst the phone is unusable (dialing from keyboard no longer works, on-screen clearing also in case of mistake). Another thing is, that TCPMP (any version) won't run and shows me an error message, and PocketGBA freezes after first tap. Please, someone, help!

Observe if the issue is only once or frequently.

If it happen many times, return to official stock MIUI and lock bootloader. Though the cause is unknown, it can be hardware issue. Find Xiaomi repair center to check the problem.
