Hi
I`m a S2 user since two weeks and I have some basic questions
1. I have no external SD card and on the internal memory I have "External_SD" folder. What is it for?
2. When I was on GB after plug-in the phone to computer I got automaticly the massage to switch the data transfer mode. After switching to ICS I have to switch throught menus to go to this POP-UP screen (without instaling USB drivers) ... Is it possible to set this pop-up scren as dafault after connection the phone or is there a app with widget to set the phone as "ready to connect" to a PC.
1. It is standard on file system whether you have an external SDcard or not. They make a provision for the sdcard when designing the file structure.
2. I am afraid not it is a drawback in the sense that Samnsung when back to basics when designing the plug in, hopefully they fix this issue in future versions of jelly bean.

1. That's where the external SD is mounted in Samsung Roms, when you insert it
2. Yes it's possible, but you need ROOT access

there are two ways, temporary and permanent.
1. Temporary way. Using app
Visit here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375
2. Permanent way:
Download and flash this via CWM recovery

Good luck

Hi,
I'm having problems with my S3. I'm trying to copy a ROM over to the internal storage via USB. It's connected and I can view all the files and directories. However, when I go to copy the ROM over, I get this error:
Cannot copy item
The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
I did have it rooted with CWM and custom ROMs, but I flashed the leaked official JB and have had this problem since. I've flashed back to stock ICS and still no luck...
I have the same problem! Bump

"MTP Device Cannot Start code 10" error message
I get an "MTP Device Cannot Start, error code 10" error message when I connect my Sansa player to a PC running Windows XP. What can I do?
1. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator
2. If connected, disconnect your player from the PC
3. Open your command prompt, click Start select Run
4. Type cmd then press Enter
5. Type the following after the prompt: Net localgroup Administrators local service /add then press Enter
NOTE: A "The command completed successfully" message should appear.
6. Close the command prompt and reconnect the Sansa player.
-Just CMD on start menu, right click and run as administrator and do as it says here

I'm having the same copy issue. I've tried downloading multiple different ROMs and copying them over to the internal storage and it seems like it's a crap shoot whether they work or I get the "cannot copy" error. Of course the ROMs I want to flash are the ones that won't work. I'm on a newly flashed Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I had the same challenge with 4.1.2 at the beginning. I found out that somehow my kernel (Siyah RC1) was the issue, after installing RC3 and also now with 1.7 it works fine.

Do you tick USB debugging in developer option, if YES, do you disable media storage from startup, if No, my answer is try other USB, OTG cable. Goodluck!

This did not work for me. For me the issue was that the download in chrome of the rom was "complete", but it was not. IT was only 120mb in stead of 200+, so the file was corrupt. This is why I could not copy it.
Redownloaded, worked.
Maybe Kies Service is running in the background? You can reinstall the Samsung USB Device Driver on your machine. You also can uninstall the device driver installed by the system when you plug in the device the first time. Maybe this helps.
Hi! What I did was I put whatever I wanted to copy into a folder (in my case it was a ROM i.e. a zip file) and then tried to copy and it worked.
TRY THIS
if not copy, try cutting (you can copy it back later)
I recently got a new tablet, the Digiland DL701Q, after my last tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2, broke from a cracked screen. Its not a well known tablet, but it was $50, so I said what the hell, let me take it. I rooted my last tablet through specific instructions from a video, however I can't find any videos or even articles on how to root this anywhere. Since I have no expertise in this area, I was wondering if anyone can help me root my tablet. Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks.
I need to root this puppy also, so someone please help!
the custom version of Android they have does not run correctly with my web program I am using it for.

I just rooted the one I picked up, go here http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot Download that and let it install. Then turn on usb debugging on the tablet, connect it and let it install the misc stuff. Once root is clickable click it, Reboots and comes back up. Should be rooted but use a Chinese app. Download root checker to verify and on the pop up hit the right button. Once passes download supersu from market, open it to install hit the left option on the popup, click the check mark box and right button. Then do the restart supersu asks for, wait for a reboot and verify supersu can grant access with root checker.
Now if you get 3 Chinese apps two you can uninstall but the original one like supersu you can't. Download root browser from market got to system>app and look for irootsu.apk. (Also may have a SuperUser.apk Delete it as well) Long press and delete followed by enjoy I also played with the app they have so may have been where some apps came from you may find you don't have.

Thanks for the site, but didn't work... I just ended up with a bunch of Chinese apps and my antivirus giving alerts every 2 second that this was spyware. It worked flawlessly until I had to verify that it worked, which then root checker told me it didn't. I tried it three times, with and without my antivirus. It looked like a nice go, but got any other ideas? Any help would be appreciated. (BTW, yeah, I did get it at best buy. You too?)
ok I downloaded this file. called unconfirmed291871.crdowload
What do I do with it

Don't bother...
Don't bother, I went through all that as well. I disabled my antivirus, my firewall, let it download, run, and connect to my tablet, yet it still produced no result. The program said my device was rooted, however once I downloaded root checker it said that it wasn't... I even tried Kingo to no avail, (its the same auto-rooting thing but only made in America for Americans), and I have been looking anywhere to root this thing. I'm betting now that the only thing that'll work is an manual rooting process, however if anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to try them. Thanks.
Doesn't work ehh? Being a old dev that quit and hasn't posted here for awhile. I wouldn't come back to just post something to screw with you guys. It does work and here you go as I snapped these laying in bed. As I happened to be bored, remembered I had posted it here so decided to check back. It might detect as malware as I never scanned anything honestly as didn't care to. I guess if you guys can't figure it out I can unroot it and post screenshots with steps but really isn't that hard. But won't be till I actually get a chance to do so.
Also once you gain root with the non english app you have to install supersu as I had said previously.

Sorry for the large pics and iroot isn't the same as kingo btw :good: As just because is a one click solution doesn't mean that it uses the same exploit. Another thing the tablet isn't even actually locked if you want to root it via adb.
---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
Just connected it to wifi and see it has a ota in which it blocked other root methods and removed root access via adb. So the above may not work if you took it as I haven't did it yet.
iroot works, even after the update. You need to give root permission in Chinese version of SU and you will be good to go. Install English version apps/uninstall all the Chinese and you're set. I didn't find any need to disable antivirus etc., just make sure your drivers are installed.
I'll give it another try, and just to be clear, here is what I should do: First, download the program, let it install the drivers. Let it do the rooting process and restart. Then I should install SuperSU and have it restart like it says to. After all that I should install and check the root using Root Checker? If it works I'll get back to you guys, I think I forgot to install SuperSU before using root checker.

Speaking of rooting after the update...Would anyone be able to post or PM me the FWUpgrade.apk/FWUpgrade.odex files from the system/apps folder? I moved those files from that folder on my device to prevent the update to prevent losing root, but then they accidentally got deleted (DOH!) from where I put them. If iroot does work on the DL701Q after the recent update, I'd like to get it on there and re-root, but I can't do it now with the updater files missing!
PM sent, no odex for those files. I am working on a quick guide to help with iroot and install of TWRP, including getting touch to work...
Screenshots/rooted 4.4.0 A86_V004 w/TWRP Touch Recovery Installed
DL701Q/Root Guide, Install TWRP Touch Recovery
Please use link to go to updated guide, this will save me from trying to update both copies, any feedback welcome to help make the guide better or more useful is welcome.
Thanks, Proto
Updated Guide
Protocol 9 said:
Go ahead and system/wireless update your tablet to 4.4.0/A86V_004.
Download SuperSU from the play store
Download/extract the iroot installer to your DESKTOP. iroot download page
Insure that you have all drivers installed, the automatic installs should suffice but you may need to boot into fastboot (hold volume down/power until menu comes up, use volume key to select fastboot and connect to pc), mode seperately in order to get the(M65XX) driver, if the iroot program doesn't automatically install.
Run iroot as Administrator, when complete, it will tell you in English that the you have root, however the SU toast notification will be in Chinese. Click the left icon to grant su permissions to continue. You may get a couple of Chinese apps that piggy back on the download, no worries, you can delete them later, they seem to be system cleaners/task managers.
Go ahead and back out of all of that and disconnect your tablet. Run you SuperSU app. Again the Chinese version may ask you to grant permission. Go ahead and click the left character in the notification to grant. Once SuperSU has permissions you are free to administer root privileges as you would on any other device.
Ok on to the tricky stuff, (well, hopefully not for you)
Again go ahead and download/extract this to your desktop. Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MTK devices w/ubifs
Connect your tablet to PC w/USB Debugging on.
Run the executable as Administrator. You will need to run this install MANUALLY in order to get the touch screen orientation correct the first time.
Download and copy the stock recovery from the link below somewhere on your pc.
Start the program and select NO for manual.
You will be prompted to place stock recovery in the STOCK folder, go ahead and copy it in there.stock recovery image
Follow the rest of the prompts, if the program does not detect your resolution it is; 1024X600.
You will be asked if you have a flipped screen, click YES
You will be asked if you have touch screen problems, click YES
You will then be presented with a selection of screen orientation options, click the radio button for Normal Screen Swap XY Flip Y
The program will then continue with the installation and boot into recovery (TWRP Touch). If everything is correct, you should have fully functional touchscreen functionality (although it seems upside down, buttons on left).
Use the stock recovery below for unpack/repack if you get into trouble and lose stock (English) recovery, (you won't effect the actual chinese stock recovery):
stock recovery image
Don't forget that this device has a reset button on the back which will assist you to boot up normally, should you run into problems. Best of luck.
If you feel that you have hosed up your recovery through any attempts, I will assist you in returning to stock, which can also be pushed by the TWRP installer. Please give credits/thanks to the great teams that created the iroot and Easy Magic installers. This is simply a guide I created none of the programs or content.

I really don't mean to be a nuisance, but this stupid thing still isn't working for me. I downloaded iroot, let it run, and at the end it said my device was rooted. I started up SuperSU, and it said something like the SU binary needs to be updated, and I let it update, only to have it say it failed. I don't get what I'm doing wrong, my tablet is up to date, my computer is up to date, I reinstalled iroot and supersu multiple times, and restarted everything like 5 times. Also, root checker says its not rooted, however it also says the system appears to be running very slow. Do any of you mind explaining the steps like you would to a five-year-old? I feel like an idiot not being able to do this.
Not at all, it took me several attempts to get this to work, wait for the actual Chinese SU notification to show up to approve, this seems to be hit an miss.

EvilPenguin42, first of all make sure you are downloading and using the PC version of iRoot (version 1.7.9 right now), not the one that you download as an apk and run straight from the tablet. The latter one does not work (it may say rooting succeeded but when you reboot you aren't rooted). Protocol 9's instructions might not have been clear about that distinction.
Note added for PC Version, thank you...
I'm using the PC version, I've tried the apk one as well to no avail, but does the SU notification comes up on your computer? Where am I supposed to see it? Also,do you mean I have to re-root it multiple times using the program? And probably should've asked this sooner, what does SU mean and the SU binary in SuperSU? I'm sorry for being an idiot, but I miss being able to use root privileges. Thanks in advance

Sent you a PM, lets try to start from scratch.....
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 .

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.
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

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.

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.

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.

For a cleaner solution , try this

its gesture based , but it looks better .
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.

Has anyone found a ROM or a solution to remove the Grandpad software and install a normal Android OS?

I would also like to know if anyone has accessed more of the GrandPad. I have the Acer 8202.

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 , did you resolve this problem ?
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?
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.

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.

How did you "manage to push new apps via adb"? for me "adb devices" shows nothing...

"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?

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.

hrprada, maybe send me a dm and i might be able to help you out
If you can't connect card to GPay this instruction maybe can help you!
We will need
• Root (Magisk)
• Root Explorer
Open root explorer and go to root/data/data/com.google.android.gms
Select this three folders
• app_chimera
• app_cryptauth_external_device_db
• app_dg_cache
Set permissions as on attached screenshot or set octal value to 0444
After it go to
• app_dg_cache
And delete all folders except the oldest one, you can understand which is the oldest one by comparing .apk file in these folders (if there is only one folder, do not delete anything)
Everything is ready! Now you can add your card and use it.
I hope it will help someone.
EDIT: after doing this your phone won't pass SafetyNet checks. If you need SafetyNet set octal of folders to default 0771 (permissions rwxrwx--x), but Google Pay will stop working again.

Thx for sharing.

And dg_cache
I have two folders with exact same timestamp. What do I do?
Checking the files I side these two, the.apk file has some time difference. Is this what you mean?

I left the folders alone and was able to activate one card. Good enough! Thank you.
Thanks heaps. Working on latest Havoc OS build perfect.
Working, on rooted Stock EEA ROM.
You might want to correct your typo though, the folder to open in root explorer would be root/data/data/com.google.android.gms instead of root/data/data/com.google.android.gsm

Thank you so much. This is working perfectly. The only reason I wouldn't install custom was that google pay wont work in any of them.
Altho I was able to add the cards I found I couldn't use the card in google pay. At the payment terminal the phone vibrated, but no charge or payment was registered.
Anyone can confirm if they can actually use Google pay after this?

Yes, it's normal and root is fine too...
You can uninstall and reinstall google services and it gonna fix magisk response, but going to crash google pay again. So just leave it...
