Greetings
I have officially flashed Amon Ra onto my 1.49 Bootload Eris. However, once the recovery menu appears, I gave no access to change the menu selection. Neither the volume buttons nor the trackball will change the highlighted menu item. As such, I can not select anything except restart. Any thoughts? I am sorry if this is a double post, I have had some trouble locating any information on this issue. Thanks!!
Its been a very bittersweet evening...
I think it is trackball issues. Test this out when you reboot.
I noticed my trackball doesn't go down anymore rendering Amon's Recovery useless.
Just got root a few minutes ago too lol.. FML

were you having trackball issues before ? (my phone has them) if so it makes it hard to use amon ....but it will usually work if I do not have the usb cord plugged in
I've searched but can't seem to come up with any other way to control the recovery without using the trackball..

Tried unplugging the USB and rebooting.. still can't get the trackball to go down.
I'm having the same trackball control issues. My trackball works fine once booted into "normal user" mode. Several reboots have not fixed the problem.
I've been searching to see if I can do everything from the adb recovery shell. All of the commands seem to be there (wipe, flash_image, etc) I just need to find the right usage of the scripts.
EDIT: I take that back, I AM having trackball issues in normal mode. I rarely use it.

Did that too... Its funny that we've gotten so far on this root, but now are stuck with a useless recovery image. I have rebooted several times, USB in and out, and all have resulted in the same end situation.
I am continuing to search it out, and will keep this posted on any ideas.
I know there have been some issues with alternate recovery images, but have there been any developments? (its something I have not been entirely following)
Edit: So this may be completely ridiculous, but I noticed when I leaned on the USB cable, the cursor moved down. If you continue to "jiggle" the cable a bit, it will move down. This is most certainly not a permanent fix, and most likely a sign of some damage but it got the job done. More detailed, I pulled the cable out a millimeter or two, and tilted it downward. With some practice, I could move it the three clicks down and initiate the root.
Additionally, I found this, but haven't tested it myself yet

Turn the phone off and keep trying to move the trackball it happend to me once. Also try plugging the cord in and move the cord end around. I'm sorry if this does help you but it worked for me. Gl

Thanks but this won't work. Does any one know of anyway to push a root ROM through ADB while in recovery? There has to be a way to do this..
Ok, so I can load ROMS using Clockworks recovery using the Vol Up/Down to navigate.
I cleaned mine using a piece of paper and shaking it up and down on the paper.

i have the same issue as well but i use my USB cable to fix it. Try holding at different angles while scrolling until you find the right one. "I Believe" that the trackball issue is from moving the phone too much with the charger plugged in. Once i noticed while my phone is plugged in that it would go haywire i realized that had to be part of it.(from my experience at least)
I also have the trackball issue
I have found 2 work arounds: 1. Jiggle the usb cable.
2. Apply pressure to the left of the trackball, between it and the call button, with your left hand and use your right hand to move the trackball. In other words, pinch the phone in that spot (thumb between call button and trackball, fingers on the back of the phone).
Weird, but it works.

If you can get the trackball for even a little while, go through with this:

I had the same problem. I jiggled the cord till it went to backup/restore then trackball worked when i was at my backup list. replacement phone will be here tomorrow so I'm returning this one to stock before i send it back. Not taking any chances

screw all this crap
flash the 2.1 ruu (will lose root and put phone back to factory) and take your phone back and get a new one
FREE
sometimes my trackball in amons recovery is sluggish or doesn;t move at all. If I wait a few seconds it'll eventually wake up and start working. boot into recovery again, wait a few seconds then see if it starts moving. Also i found having low battery didn't help things. Make sure your charged up!
Hey guys,
My Hero says the headphones are connected but they aren't connected!? This is very annoying when I want to call someone, then I have to use the headphones because otherwise I can't listen what the persons I'm calling to says. So the speakers are disabled (can still play music through headphones).
I also see the headphones icon in the Android bar.
I tried another ROM but it's giving the same problem (Android 2.1 stock, 2.2 Floyo, FV 1.5, etc.)
How can I solve this?
As far as i know this is not a rom specific problem, more of a software thing. It happens if you restart your phone too much (its how i get it). Three ways to solve problem
1. turn off your phone and wait at least 2 minutes before turning back on and it shud be gone
2. download toggleheadset.apk and it will no longer matter how much you restart your phone since u can toggle the icon off/on
3. least practical on long term and takes a while but works, poke a headphone in and move around until icon disappears
I get this problem all the time, and it seems like a lot of other hero users get it as well, i solved it using toggleheadset
Thanks for your message. I tried all these methods but they don't work
When I install Headset Blocker, I can still see the icon in the black HTC Android bar. The other two methods also don't work.
Haha! Yeah, it works!
I installed toggleheadset.apk but I didn't notice it's a widget and not an app.
So now it works and I can use my speakers again.
Thank you very much!

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat

Well, not sure if there are any other options for our phone, but issue one would be the fact that we don't have any physical buttons on our phone.

Turn on your phone, restart, or hot restart > as soon as you see boot animation hold down volume down button. Keep it held until you get a long vibrate. After the vibrate you can let go. You should be in safe mode then.
To get out of it you can hot restart.

A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL ...
I tried this when I was having trouble connecting to my SDcard via USB and it did work, BUT... for some reason, it completely wiped out all of my widgets and home screen shortcuts.
Maybe this is an isolated problem with my phone, but be aware of this possibility before you proceed.

Did you have that issue after you exited safe mode? I remember that after I exited safe mode on my thunderbolt everything returned to normal.
I booted into safe mode once by accident, same thing, everything on the home screens was almost like a factory default, rebooted and it was fine again, everything came back to normal... Pretty sure Safe Mode on the Rezound is just like in Windows, it essentially just skips a bunch of custom and non-essential startup configuration parameters.

All the widgets and shortcuts were gone after I rebooted into normal mode. The same thing happened once before but I was in the middle of trouble-shooting some issues so I dismissed it as a system glitch.
Hi all,
Recently got myself a Ulefone Armor 2. The device is not too bad so far. I switched to it after cracking my Power2's screen multiple times. It comes with a stupidly basic Android 7. So I just wanted to start a thread to see if anyone's got their hands on it and started hacking around. See the bookmarks below for all things customisation.
I've edited this first post multiple times to reflect the recent developments. Some people got root & Magisk working see links after my first remarks:
About the latest Software Update (aka 20180224_s21v57c2k_gq_fp or S21 GQ3037LF2 Ulefone V12 20171009-Update 20180224):
alpsayin said:
Nope, it's not the same. Something is fundamentally off with this ROM. Accessibility services get turned off automatically every time screen goes off. Half the background apps are killed every time screen stays off for a minute too. I've already reverted back to what I had before. I suggest stay away from this build.

If you've updated your phone to latest ROM use the below instructions to revert back but use https://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/S21_GQ3037LF2_Ulefone_V12_20171009.zip instead of the latest one:

First remarks:
-Some people and I are having problems with USB-C headphone adapter (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/ulefone-armor-2-t3684566/post74367962#post74367962)
-Device bluetooth volume level is separate from the headset's volume. (EDIT: fixed with recent ROM update)
-Adaptive brightness might be a tad bit aggressive in my opinion so I switched it off. (EDIT: less aggressive with recent ROM update)
-Android Pay does NOT work. It says device is not verified (which is sad, I really wanted this to work). (EDIT: works now with also recent ROM update).
-Camera button launches a camera app if you press for 5 seconds only. Useful to trigger underwater.
-SOS button needs 5 seconds push to start calling emergency contacts, but even then it causes a lot of pocket dialling.
-PTT button only works inside the Zello app. Kinda wish these buttons could be reassigned for other things (EDIT: see this reply https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74451451&postcount=78).
-Generally buttons are easy to push, i change the volume every time I put the phone in my pocket, then again i might just need to get used to having a brick with 4g.
-Speakers are not great, but it's indeed waterproof. Took it into shower and gave it a good abuse.
-Fingerprint sensor is a bit annoying at times but I believe this might be because I was sent a phone with improperly attached screen protector. (EDIT: it was the badly aligned screen protector)
-Power menu doesn't have the shortcut to the power saving mode that I like so much
-Be gentle with your USB-C cap, mine broke. It's still waterproof, but now it's pretty easy to lose the cap.
-If you wanna save some serious battery, disable Google App data backup (App backup&restore).
-Sports mode in battery settings will make the phone "snappier" probably at the expense of battery life.

Hi,
i got mine a week ago, and i think this phone is really great so far. Only thing i'm missing is a way to root it, i have tried everything i could find, but nothing has worked so far.

I really wanted to like this phone, but Bluetooth is essencial to me, and I cant keep a Bluetooth audio connection constant with out disconnects and connects randomly, is very frustrating, I was expecting a better quality of the audio of the internal speaker when making calls, the holes of the back speaker one is a dummy the is no sound from it, and battery is good but not so good for the capacity, I was expecting more, and the camera is really sub par with a slow auto focus. I why didn't they make the screws of the sim compartment flush with case, was so simple.

I just tested the Bluetooth on a speaker, i had no issues with it. As for the battery, there is a lot of settings you can tweak, and turn off all of the Google draining apps. I have installed Greenify too.
Camera is not the best, but it does the job. We get what we pay for, and for that price i cannot expect to get a better phone, that probably would survive a nuclear war lol

I can assign emergency contacts to SOS button. Multiple ones in fact; if first person doesn't answer automatically calls the next one and so on. I was just curious to give them other functionalities, such as launching apps.

I have an LG X Power with a cracked screen and have been looking into this phone because the doogee s60 and bv8000 pro both show problems and I don't feel like spending 600 for a cat s60 or s41

Did anyone manage to get Android Pay working? Android Pay doesn't verify the android, I was really looking forward to being able to use it...
I just got mine, love it for the price but unfortunately didn't read about android pay. I just tried and yep, no good to add payment cards. If you have a banking app that accepts card integration, it works that way, so it's just android pay/Google security.
Now, has anyone tried downloading the latest official ROM from needrom? They cite one from 10/9, I tried to install after ensuring the device is properly detected and the process fails. Something about Brom incompatible.
Not sure if anyone here has had successes with flashing MediaTek based devices, any tips?

Well, I was using a ulefone power 2 before this one. SP Flash tool version >5 works great. You just need to make sure device is fully powered off and connect usb cable. It might get into a bootloop, but if you start the flashing process while it's off it will get off of the bootloop and flash it. Hopefully at least.
I am using TSB, Santander, and nationwide. I guess none of them has card integration?
I'm searching a custom-Rom (lineageOS) for Armor 2. This Link ( rootmygalaxy[dot]net/lineage-os-15-for-ulefone-armor-2/) says "download it", but I can't found the Rom.
If I would self-compile it. Where I can find the driver for Armor 2?
With regards to android pay, I emailed ulefone support and they noted that they are working on it, need to get the keys to fix. They asked for device IMEI and will try to make the update via OTA. You can email them from their website. Looking at 3 weeks but I'm not counting on it. At least someone replied right away.

i installed the last room (nedroom) yesterday and was ok ok, i had a problem with connecting the usb (did not want to run the download process), helped "volume up" ON , the phone off, and then connect the usb to the pc and when I started process the "volume up" OFF , it started Mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit, SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1728_Linux - run as root , the MTKxxxx driver setting, for linux is here on XDA.
I would also be happy for recovery and root for armor 2.
with greetings of sumec.

I deleted everything like a new phone. If you have a backup date so when you start offering a recovery from a backup or as a new phone. Every update to rom through flashtool makes full wipe data, so it's a good root and recovery.
Is there any way of disabling that wretched camera button ? I am fed up with clicking noises from my pocket as it takes shots, and deleting them all afterwards....

I use the APP "Button Mapper" Ver: 0.54 Free
You can reconfigure PTT and SOS buttons to open your desired Apps.
You can also disable operation with the Lock-screen
My actual configuration for PTT button is:
Short press: Nothing,
Long press WhatsApp,
Double press: switch between DND, Vibrate and Outdoor sound mode
and for SOS:
Short press: Nothing,
Long press: PayPal
Double press: Shazam

Camera button requires pro version, but I can live without it :good:
I noticed today that my USB-C to headphone jack cable is not working. Anyone else had that problem?
Also, ButtonMapper works great but sometimes it causes a soft reboot...
