Hello all
I'm writing to this section, because it didn't allowed me to write somewhere else (f.e. to misc. devices).
I have serious problems with my new Android device, which I have won recently.
First short info about tablet:
DPS Dream 7 - 4.0.4 (ICS) - 1.5 - 3.0.8+ - [email protected] #10 - Sun Sep 2 15:03:57 CST 2012
Iťs exotic tablet
Well, and now the story:
I wanted root to my device... I've heard, that z4 root is really nice for beginners to root their device.
So I have given it a try. I have downloaded, launched and... it said that I have already root... > I thought it's just a mistake so I clicked RE-ROOT. Tablet has frozen for few seconds and z4 shutted down. Nothing happened. Well, so I have tried UN-ROOT (and than I wanted just to click root).
After I selected UN-ROOT, it said: done and I have rebooted tabled. After reboot I was shocked. EVERYTHING WAS GONE! All data, applications, even live wallpaper... When I opened menu, there we're only basic applications... It was just like after I have unpacked tablet from box (but Icons we're somewhere else, it was like I have just started another ROM). Well, ok (I thought) and I have launched z4 root APK from SD card. But suddenly it said that I can't install that, because I have full memory!
I looked at memory and - 1,5 GB free (in) and 15GB free (SD-card). I looked on internet (using google) and I've heard, that sometimes I need to clear /cache and some app data in /data. Well, so I have cleared /cache (through recovery) and than I have tried to download something from google apps (I needed to sign in again and now I have my same device twice in google play). But I cannot download anything - it say, that memory is full! I have then tried to install game (APK was in SD-CARD) called Inotia 3 and it normally installed.. LOL. I have tried reboot (I wanted to install that z4 root and root my device again to bring old ROM back) but .. WTF .. Inotia is GONE again and everything is again just like after factory reset!
So... there was just one way out left. Factory reset through recovery.. It's weird, that in recovery menu I can only move down... I cannot move up (I have buttons at the side of tablet - POWER, BACK, MENU) Well, I have selected total factory reset, confirmed, rebooted, AND IT DIDNT HELP.
So.. please, do you have any ideas, what can I do now?
I need to install z4 root somehow. Maybe it's just stucked somewhere between root and no-root... I cannot do anything, because all changes are deleted after root...
Any help will be appreciated.
Root
The DPS DREAM tablets was initially opened with root. Just install the superuser app in the Market, which already distributes the root privileges. You made a mistake, read the first time.

Yes, I have made a big mistake and that's why I'm asking you for help
Thanks
done

I'm going to give a quick run down of my situation and what I have done and I would just like to get some understanding or guide to what the heck I'm doing different then everyone else.. and I have lots of knowledge in technology and I'v been playing around with phones for 14 years now.. So here's the deal.
I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a. - one from Rogers the other from Fido.. Who give's a crap.. OK next.
I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -
Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf
Root IT / Reboot
Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.
Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..
" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "
" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "
I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..
I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...
1 - Wipe user data
2 - clear cache
3 - advanced options - clear cache again..
4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done
5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly
6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf
7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.
8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..
9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..
10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..
11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone
12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..
13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"
14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...
15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery
16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"
17 - Rebooted Phone again.
18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted
Done Install..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 - Ran Quadrant Standard Benchmark .. Free From Market.. Only Scored 850
20 - Rebooted.. and then Installed SetCPU.. Few $ from Market....When I started SetCPU I selected " Show Other Frequency Sets " and Selected
Custom Frequency Reads from:
/sdcard/setcpu.txt
/system/sd/setcpu.txt
/data/local/setcpu
Sort Speeds in kHz, Separated by comma, from lowest to highest.
21 - Allowed Root Access.. and I did not Touch one setting in SetCPU. I went to advanced and selected "Apply"
22 - I then went to INFO in SetCPU .. If I run a Short Bench.. I score between 220 - 250.. avg sometimes it spikes.. Long Bench is 519..
23 - Rebooted .. Ran Quadrant again I am only scoring max 1080ish.. Lowest I have seen is 800.. It is all over the place.. and no where close to 1750 that erik is getting..
24 - I also Ran LINPACK and my max on a single thread was 38 .. and on multi-thread it was 32...
I don't understand What I am missing or doing wrong.. Maybe I have spent too much time on it in the past few days flashing and re flashing and yada yada that i'm just in need of a good break and then go back at it.. but my roomie who has the other X10 that I converted her to from the Iphone is also doing the same where it's not scoring to great..
I also am running into issues on her phone where it's having lots of force closes and freezing....I was just doing a quad benchmark on it now and it only scored 600??? I did the exact same.. back to flashing 2.1.. all the exact steps I have taken on my phone.. the only difference is she only has a 2gb sd card so I have not installed Link2SD on her phone.. But I have been told that should not make too much of a difference.. have i been mislead? Please assist. I am VERY lost and starting to get cheesed .. I just want what Erick has LOL But Really I converted her from Apple to Droid because she used my phone when I had one of Erick's first GB Roms and it was running fast.. she was very impressed and happy..
.. OK As I was typing this out I'm playing around with the phones and I just got a new msg on BOTH phones remember one is Link2SD one is Not.. " Could not read SetCPU Custom Config. Reverting to Defaults. Is your SDCard unmounted from the PC? .. Both phones are not plugged in .. I did a remount in storage settings.. Same error.. But If I do a device selection again.. it reads the SD Card SetCPU.txt files.. WOW . I am so confused. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!
I really hope there is enough information here.. ask me for anything or to do anything on it and i'll send it and give it a shot ! Thanks in advanced everyone! and thanks again Erick for the sick ROM!
Wow.. Another Patch! Updating to 3.3f.zip.. Will report back if any change in performance! no change.. now I just have the Sony Setup Menu start everytime my phone boots.. if i clear advanced cache in xrecovery all my sync accounts get deleted.. and I also had to downgrade my market because it was just crashing.. I also have problems with swype .. it keeps crashing in chomp.l never had problems like that until 3.3f update. ... thou I just talked to Janessa and she said her phone is groovy like the 70's.. LOL I don't understand.. She was having the problems...now I am! LOL Let's get some input going! Thanks again Everyone! AKA ERICKWILL!!
Thanks again erick!!
bump?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Hey man, don't bother with scores and numbers.
Flash the patch, let it settle for some hours and use it.
I just flashed the new 3.7 patch few minutes ago and waiting for it to settle.
I didn't read the EDIT.
My x10i got really slow booting and annoying when It gets too low space in sdcard.
Take a look at her sdcard.
For the FC's, I often have them when I flash a new patch. After I done everything in link2sd (relink, reboot, etc), I reboot again and fix permissions at xrecovery. Them I reinstall all apps that are FC using the link2sd interface.
As I said, I just patched to 3.7f and got two FC at launcher startup. This time was App Brain Market and Battery Widget Pro. Reinstalled them using the option "reinstall" inside link2sd and everything is OK now.
Yesterday I patched to 3.3 and got a different FC from today. Total Recall was FC at startup, them I went to link2sd and reinstalled it. It's working fine since them.
any error flashing the 3.7f patch? mine says error at line 12
I had no erros here.
My x10 was running the lastest rom with 3.3f.
Deleted scriptz folder, rebooted, cleaned dalvik cache and flashed.
Booted, went to link2sd, reboot again for mount the 2nd partition.
Booted again, link2sd, relinked dalvik, reboot.
Fixed permissions, reboot. Reinstalled 2 apps that were fc and its stable for now.
i cannot find the scriptz folder on my sdcard? ??!
Which file explorer are you using? I think if you can't see it's because it doesn't exist.
To be sure, connect your phone using USB cable and enable USB mounting to access sdcard from your PC. If you still can't see this way, it surely does not exist in your sdcard.
Go to xrecovery, wipe dalvik cache and flash the patch.
no error.. mm if u did I think u need to start all over from 2.1 again..
ok trying to flash 2.1 again.. still cant see it through my pc.. tnxx
still a fail T_T... there is still no scriptz folder.. and still with the same error flashing 3.7f patch woo

Get all the files you need for the 2.1 flash and the baseband fix if you need for 2.1 flash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .. the links are in the first post. and one again also remember to use the "Flash" button in flashtool to flash the TFT files. there is no other way to do this but I am just assuming maybe you are flashing custom zips via xrecovery...I hope this helps.. I'm going to have time this week to do a remake of the video on Ericks Firmware install.. It's ok but it's assuming to much little steps.
Hi,
I am using a htc explorer A310e. I proceeded to root the phone yesterday and the entire process got done perfectly. After the process I installed rootchecker and I was informed that I had successfully rooted my device. After this, I proceeded to install a custom ROM ( The S.H.T.D ROM from this site: theappjuice.com/best-htc-explorer-custom-roms.
After flashing Superuser, and the ROM files as well, my phone seemed to be ok.
Today, I downloaded link2sd on my phone and tried to move apps from my phone memory to the external (I followed the protocol of making partitions on the ext. memory first etc..)
I open the link2sd app>
I'm looking at a box that required me to select the file system of my SD card's second partition>
I select ext2 and click ok>
I'm given a root access warning message ("Link2sd could not obtain root access. If you have root access make sure you respond 'Allow' or 'Grant' to the superuser request.")
So, I go open the Superuser app and I proceed to update my su binary (as per a few tutorial videos I watched).
I try to update. It successfully proceeds up to the point where "Download new binary_okay!"
But then next, "Gaining root access_fail!"
I tried plenty of things like clearing the data for superuser app and then trying again, rebooting my phone etc. Nothing is helping.
After trying everything I could, I looked into the Rootchecker app again and Now I'm told that my phone does not have proper root access.
Please help me. I'm so worried. I'm starting to think the rooting process didn't happen properly and my phone might end up being bricked. :|
(p.s. I'm very new to this. This is also my first time rooting.)
two days ago, from nowhere, i was unable to access my internal (usb) storage, the external card works fine. i cant download anything from internet, i cant move anything from/to storage, cant look at my picutres etc. the only thing i can do is download from play store.
what i know of, i didnt do anything when this happend.. i upgraded neatrom to v6.2 a day or so before i think.
i've tried:
reinstall the rom (and upgraded it)
get permissions both with terminal on phone (su fix_permissions), and in cmd (on win 7), both with phone in philz recovery and normally started (adb shell fix permissions) "/sbin/sh: fix_permissions: not found" is error message i get. same on both computer and phone
fix permissions in recovery, but it seems that my recovery dosnt support that
some fix_permission-script i found on google
the only thing thats working is when i connect phone with mass storage with cable.
i have
rom: neatrom v6.3
kernel: philz v5.15.9
i searched alot on google but didnt find anything that helps me. i've asked alot of peoples but no one knows. any tips? im pretty new to the android world

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe its related to changing rom. You must enter recovery CWM and performa
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
in mount and storage wipe /system, /data, /preload
and after that install neatrom via recovery CWM
Ok, first of all, I wouldn't be asking this if I knew an answer or found one. I searched and tried so many ways, even experimented my own lol.
Story. I have a OnePlus One, which means I had CM installed. It was great but last year I wanted to try something different so I try I changed the room. No visible problem.
Then, my phone got slow and wanted to do a complete wipe of it. So I went to TWRP and try to flash something: result = BRICK.
Somehow solved and went to stock CM (12 I believe), and after some time I convinced myself not to give up and try again so I did.
Installed Resurrection Remix after unlocking and rooting via TWRP but I got caught into and infinity loop in the boot animation.
So I went back to recovery and wiped everything, and I mean everything. I wanted to do it from scratch (except the USB option) and I had read something about the FORMAT option in te TWRP advanced options in WIPE, so I went for it and then FLASHED from ADB SIDELOAD pushing the room and gapps mini (it wouldn't let me install bigger option than MINI) and wiped cache and delvik-cache and rebooted to system. Everything seemed to be working fine., but then I realised I couldn't install some apps from playstore so I went around it downloading some APK's and STORES and install them from other stores, but then I realized I couldn't take any screenshot saying I didn't have space (I got the 64GB version) but it wasn't the issue. I went to the File Explorer and checked permissions, everything was own by ROOT user.
So I did it again, wipe, flash, format, but it wouldn't work.
I've looked for any option but nothing seems to be working. Can get the USER folder to appear and can't use MTP with my computer since I don't have permissions. The only way to get files into my device is by PUSHING them. The phone is working with RR on it.
Any ideas?
I appreciate so much your help and hope be posting this the right way. Also, apologize for my English in advance if I had any mistakes (or will have lol)
Case solved!
Just for you to know! It seems I solved my problem.
@osm0sis is the guy who gave us a flashable script but the solution that actually saved me is the one from @xak944
So thank you very much. I give you the link where you can find the solution in case you have the same problem.
Regards.
[SCRIPT/FIX] Internal sdcard permissions (/data/media/)
Hello!
I have this "F" tab and its very hard to find any custom rom that works.
I tried install some that was to the "I" version, they dont even install.....
I managed install Cyanogenmod....but I would like to have Android 6 or never.
Is this even possible?
Why I want 6 is the adopted storage...the main problem with this tablet is the too small 8Gb rom memory!
I want use SD card to applications....
Im a newbie with rooting etc...managed to install TRWP and now this cyanogenmod, but now I lost root access too
Nevermind!
Asked in another forum also about this and the answer was that my tablet too weak to run Android 6+...
I got root just booted to TRPW and choosed reebot and then it asked if I want root...choosed yes!
After that tablet started and it asked me to install super su from playstore, since I dont even have playstore I just downloaded SuperSu app to my phone and did a backup APK that I sent via bluethoot to this tablet. Voila tablet rooted again.
Then installed Link2SD app (in the same way)...
Did partion my SD card in my computer, first as FAT and second as EXT4....
Now I have a lot of memory to install apps in my tablet!
