Ok, running default Opera, which is 9.5 build 2682.

1. I can't click unless I zoom in. Very annoying. Any way to change this?

2. There are a few things, like now ability to have popups, I think and maybe page redirects that are preventing me from logging into my dispatch website. is there any info on this?
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I have not received my HD yet but have used many versions of Opera 9.5. Some versions can do this, and some can't but you can check.

Type Opera:config into the address, then under adaptive zoom, see if you can find an entry called "Minimum overview zoom". Like I said, some version of opera 9.5 has this, and some don't. If it is there, then you're lucky. Just change it to 85%. You should be able to click and activate the links without zooming in now. (please exit and restart the browser first though).

Please let me know if that helps. I'm still waiting for my HD, which is supposed to arrive this morning.:(
[Touch HD General] scythe000:
Sweet, that seemed to work.

I see that it still chugs evrytime I visit my login page, which never changes. Shouldn't this be kept in the cache, so it pops right up?

Maybe I need to increase the browser cache from deafault?
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Not sure about the inabiilty to use the pop up. Just taking a guess here, so please don't nail me for doing so. I think it may be that your website uses Java technology which has only works on PC?? I have some bank account logins which also do not work. May be the same kinds of problem.

If it is very important to use that website on your phone and Opera cannot do it, you might want to try other browsers to see if you have better luck. One such browser is Netfront 3.5.

Hope this helps. Sorry that I can't be of more useful assistanct.
[Touch HD General] scythe000:
That's all helpful info, bro, I appreciate it!

It could even have something to do with flash, I get the same erro rwith the installed version of IE.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Yes, could very well be the case.

If you're not dealing with very confidential information, there is also a possibilty of server based browser, which hopefully will be ble to handle some of those stuffs.

Note that disabling this "annoyance" also disables your ability to fire mouseover events, which are sometimes required to activate dropdown menus.
[Touch HD General] scythe000:
How do you mean?
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Excellent tweak, thanks. Makes it much more usable.

Question is why didn't it ship like this.....
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I also wonder why they do not make it that way.

My guess is that most phone has very very small screen. At their screen size, it is impossible to read in zoom in mode, so they assume that you need to zoom in anyway before you click.

My present device is Athena (5 inch screen), so even at zoom out mode, we can read very clearly. It makes no sense to have to do the zooming in again before clicking on the link. HD's screen size is not quite that of Athena but is also big enough to read in zoom out mode. So, this tweak makes sense for us, although considered not necessary for the smaller screen phones.

Perhaps I would repost this in the tips and tricks thread.

Philips s410j tablet. Recovery page reads BMXC N107/ N107. it's MTK MT6762 processor. I know that it is a China manufactured device rebranded as Philips. 4GB+64GB. Anyone knows where to get the stockrom or custom ROM. I had seen some posts talking about firmwares available at jlinksz ftp site but it does not open. Any other place to look? Thanks

PS: Just opened it. Easy to open, just remove 3 screws. It's written X107 inside all over. So googled it and found that exactly looks like the X107 T-bao tablet sold on AliExpress. So, I guess an X107 stockrom should work as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackslash:
Hello Everyone,

First of all I am a newbie when it comes to Android, so forgive me for asking such a noob question.

So here is the story, my girlfriend's dad passed away few months ago. He used an old Samsung S8, sadly we do not know what the login pattern is or his Google account password (We did try recovery options but to no avail)

As there was no other option, I went ahead and had the phone factory reset, and from what I learned the phone is now FRP locked.

After a reading a few more guides I downloaded a tool called Odin and some 'Stock ROM' and flashed it hoping that would resolve the issue (Oh boy, how wrong I was) and the phone is now stuck on a screen saying "Error occurred while updating the device software, use the emergency recovery function"

My girlfriend just wanted to be able to use it for some time, and now I feel really bad for screwing it up.

Just wondering what my options are and if the phone is salvageable at all?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Derbi75:
Hey, are you sure you downloaded the right ROM for this S8? Since there are two models of this phone, each with a different chipset (Exynos / Qualcomm Snapdragon). I feel like this error could come from a bad firmware? Does Odin still see the phone when you connect it to the PC?

Edit: Apparently people solved this problem using Samsung's Smart Switch on PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackslash:
Yes, I think I downloaded the correct one. The phone is from Telstra Australia and so downloaded the ROM from Samfrew that was listed as Telstra, I typed in the model number which is SM-G950F it is this firmware that came up.

Yes when I put the phone into Recovery mode and connect to PC, Odin detects it, but the flash gets stuck halfway. I've loaded the BL, AP, CP and CSC that came within the ZIP file from Samfrew and under options only ticked 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time'

Also tried just with the BL and AP but same deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Derbi75:
Have you tried Samsung's Smart Switch app on PC? Apparently people successfuly fixed this error with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Derbi75:
I've never had to deal with a Samsung that has a FRP lock, that could just be the reason why the flashing fails, i wouldn't know. I hope you can get the Factory Reset to work :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackslash:
Also tried the Smart Switch app but it would recognize the phone. Thank you for looking into this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Derbi75:
You could send a message to this user "makeyourself" : https://xdaforums.com/t/i-think-i-screwed-the-pooch-on-this-one.3939572/post-79729654 , he seems aware about the FRP locks / flashing issues.

@Derbi75 thanks heaps, will message makeyourself now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackslash:
Ideas? Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Aashir4249:
From what I know, the error only appears if the phone was interrupted during flashing. Such as, Odin was writing into phone but you probably removed the USB or stuff. The screen you see is actually download mode. It is just renamed. Try plugging in your device when it's on the error screen then re-flash it.

Getting super frustrated!

Using ADB Debuging. Here are my steps.

1. adb devices

2. adb reboot bootloader

3.fastboot devices.

4. fastboot oem unlock

Then I get this...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.005s

after so many attempts I finally check adb devices and nothing shows up! It's like it automatically disconnects with adb debugging but it does not. Because I am able to to put fastboot reboot.

Can someone please help me with this! Thank you!

rooted my 30z long time ago, search around the forums for tutorials

once you get to fastboot just do fastboot flashing unlock and your bl is unlocked
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clymetix:
hi, i'm currently trying to obtain root on the 30z aswell. i've obtained the boot.img via logcat on an OTA FW update because i can't use mtkclient to access the partitions.

i've obtained fastboot access via the python script from above, however despite being able to unlock the bootloader from fastboot mode, i can't flash the partitions from bootloader fastboot without receiving 'download for partition 'PARTITION NAME' is not allowed. i was able to enter fastbootd by doing ``fastboot reboot fastboot`` and from there i was able to flash the modified boot.img i obtained from the fw update, however it seems this causes a bootloop likely due to vbmeta. i cannot flash vbmeta since it doesnt come up in the partition list in fastbootd, and i receive aforementioned error in bootloader fastboot where it does appear. also i was very lucky that boot.img from the ota fw update is the same as the last, otherwise i would be stuck bootlooping right now. i haven't updated yet, because it seems the update contains imgs for the preloader which is concerning.

edit: i should add, i've tried sp flash tool and i just receive "STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL". i have the scatter file from the fw update but it doesn't matter it seems because even a scatter file containing only the preloader doesn't seem to work either

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azaze666:
Let me write a short guide, i did it on a TCL 406 but it's the same for every TCL, it's not even worth making a guide.... anyway:

install python:https://www.python.org/downloads/ don't forget to add it to path

clone mtkclient:https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient.git

cd mtkclient

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

then follow me:

python mtk da seccfg unlock

at this point power off the phone, then keep pressing power - and connect it to the pc, it should go to brom mode, on few seconds idf brom isn't patched seccfg will be written and bootloader unlocked

then, disconnect the phone and write: python mtk r boot boot.img

this will dump your boot image

after it is done you can patch the boot with another device or if you don't have it power the phone on, wait for it to boot, do first setup, then install:https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/latest

after that copy the dumped boot (it will be on mtkclient folder) on the phone, open magisk app, tap on install, patch a file, select the boot.img you just copied, it will be patched and the resuld will be on /storage/emulated/0/Download

go back to the pc and copy this result to mtkclient folder,then rename it to boot-patched.img

then: python mtk w vbmeta,boot vbmeta.img.empty boot-patched.img

power off the phone, keep pressing vol - and connect it to pc, blank vbmeta and magisk boot will be written to the device. yYou can then power on the device, iif it boots to the os, open magisk app,it will ask to complete the setup, do it, wait for reboot... done. Else if it reboots to recovery telling data is corrupt just wipe them, it will then boot normally, do first setup again and install magisk app, then wait for magisk setup to complete and you will be done, anyway in my case data weren't corrupt. You're welcome!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alienmamas:
Thank you very much. Thanks to your help, I've been able to root it. For the final command I used python mtk.py w vbmeta,boot vbmeta.img.empty,boot-patched.img for anyone wondering why it may not work for you, make sure to add the comma after "vbmeta.img.empty". Thanks for everyone who replied, I posted this thread some while ago and I had given up on trying to root my TCL phone after thinking it wouldn't come on. I had been using a faulty block and I revisited it today after seeing your in-depth reply. Now I have succeeded, thanks to you!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azaze666:
Don't know why you needed commas or wathever, I copypasted my commands. Btw if someone has a dump of preload of this TCL 406 or can make it:

su

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/bootdevice/preload of=/sdcard/preload.img

then copy it from internal storage and upload it somewhere. I have broken dm-verity.... I deleted apps from the provider and even with blank vbmeta it triggers dm verity. The device still boots but this message at boot is awful.

[Android Auto General] Ankeris:
Hi all!

I looked on the forums here and couldn't find anything about it... have you seen this carlinkit A2A adapter thing? Similar to Motorola MA1?

Seems like similar hardware as the Android headunits but on a dongle and then you connect it through USB and it streams via Android Auto. The usb seems to register that to the Android phones that it is a Android Auto device. the Android Auto UI apparently is stored and sent from the phone its self to the usb dongle and then sent to the android app. the app then sends touch and audio commands back to the usb dongle and then to the phone. I think it's interesting for folks like me with a traditional headunit with Android Auto/CarPlay to have full access to Android.

Does anyone knows about it? I guess we could have the same options as the headunits such as custom firmwares or maybe figuring out what software does that Android Auto integration and use it from an Android phone - getting full Android access...

A link of it from carlinkitofficial store:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G4_PITA:
Hello XDA,

I flashed my Fire HD 8 (2018) from FireOS to LineageOS 17 using this guide ( https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unlocked-karnak-lineage-17-1-17-july-2020.4134829/ ).

Installation went great, TWRP/LineageOS was working fine. Later as I began to setup the tablet I became unsatisfied with the ROM because the camera and proximity sensor were not working properly for me. I then decided it would be better to flash to a previous Lineage ROM to get better performace/support ( https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-testing-suez-lineage-16-0-05-july-2022.4232785/ )

At this point is when things went wrong. I tried to overwrite/upgrade TWRP from within TWRP using the IMG file posted in the LineageOS 16 guide with this method - https://www.droidwin.com/update-twrp-recovery-android/ (skip to step 4)

Now whenever I try to boot into Recovery Mode all I see is the Amazon Logo, I cannot get the tablet to boot into TWRP recovery. As bad as that is I can still boot into LineageOS 17 which is a relief. I've tried doing the fastboot recovery method but I get the message "FAILED (remote: 'the command you input is restricted on locked hw')"

At this point I'm stuck and reluctant to try too much more, but I'd still like to try the LineageOS 16 ROM.

If you're lucky enough you might be rooted. If you are, brick the PL header with ADB (make sure your tablet can access bootrom mode) and re-run amonet.​

bootrom is USBDL mode, the mode that is accessed when the PCB pins are shorted. Anyway, don't worry about that. Just run adb root and then ./fireos-step.sh from the thread you linked and you should be able to access TWRP again.​
