question as title....
i follow the instruction and just click the '' install xRecovery '' but the system keep show me Force Close .... any solution ?
First and foremost... Do you have root access to your phone?
If so you can try this out, it always works for me
1.- Download and install Gscript lite from Android Market.
2.- Download and unpack the following package to the root of your SD Card.
Link: http://db.tt/MlrbaYL
If it asks for replacement select yes.
3.- Now go to Gscript Lite press "Menu" and select Add Script.
4.- Mark the checkbox that says "Need SU?"
5.- Click on Load File and you'll see to files (Xrecovery.sh & Xrecovery-reinstall.sh)
6.- Load both files.
7.- Click on "Xrecovery" and you'll see the system writting some commands, probably at the end i'll give you an error - Don't panic.
8.- Click on "Xrecovery-reinstall" and again you'll see some commands going on... At the end i'll say you have to reboot.
9.- Reboot your phone
10.- Enjoy.
Hope this helps.

If you do not have root access, then you can not install X-recovery.

Hi
here is how you fix the boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
For Arabic, I would suggest that you use this rom with go keyboard. You can download go keyboard from the market.

Hi! So I've sucessfully rooted my phone using the SuperOneClick or whatever its called...I need help backing up my rom. Already tried to follow these instructions;
G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device
This is great and all...except for the fact that this keeps happening;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push recovery-cloc kwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/ cannot stat 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img'
I've already moved the entire zip and folder into platform-tools. What is it I do now?
Would just like to know before I commence with downloading more apps.
Thank you in advanced,

Thanks. But which Zip? the one found on that website? I have clockwork but it doesn't recognize my phone model. Do I install that .apk included on? Some of these instructions are pretty vague to be honest. There's another version of that tutorial that goes more in depth but its for an older version. I don't really want to flash anything without knowing what I'm doing..
When you say 'you have clockwork', that's a very vague statement. Please elaborate.
The zip file on that website provides a version of clockwork that will 1. provide a backup of your rom and 2. works for SG Ace. Which is what you want right? If not don't read any further and do some more searching around!
So let's go over what the website says. Download the zip file to your computer, paste it to your SD Card (anywhere on your SD Card). When it says 'paste the zip file as it is', it doesn't mean 'paste the .apk included in the zip file', it means 'paste the zip file'...
Disconnect your phone from your computer. Turn your phone off. Reboot into recovery by holding down the middle button and then pressing the power button. That will bring up 'recovery mode'. In recovery mode you will see the option 'apply update from SD Card', select that option with the middle key. It will then show you a list, in which will appear the .zip file you 'pasted into the SD Card'. Go to it and press the middle button. It will then install Clockwork Mod Recovery on your phone.
This should appear as an app, with the Clockwork bowler hat symbol. In there you can then press the 'create backup' and it will automatically reboot into recovery and show you the process of copying all the files into the 'clockwork recovery backup' folder that will have been created on your SD Card.
Is there anything vague about that?

No need to get upset, but respect for helping me. So, in short, this will allow Clockwork Rom Manager to detect my model of phone and then allow me to back up my current rom, right?
I'm running Clockwork Rom Manager 5.0.0.3. What is the .apk he's including? Its not my fault if I have concerns..

Look OP , you cannot use ROM Manager because it bricks your phone .
You have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through stock recovery (it's a zip file)

Ok, how do I do this? And from the beginning please

No there is a miscommunication here. ROM MANAGER will brick your phone but CLOCKWORK RECOVERY is fine. They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
CLOCKWORK RECOVERY can be got FROM THE LINK I PROVIDED and installed via the instructions I repeated here.
Edit: For the record the link I provided will install CWM Manager v1.80 AS WELL AS Recovery. This is not the same app as ROM Manager and it simply provides a user interface that takes you directly to Recovery Mode and create backups without having to go into recovery mode manually.

Hey!
A friend of mine has this new tablet - Coby Kyros Mid1060 - and ask me to install Gapps and what was missing...
The thing is... I accidentally renamed the 'boot proper' file original without copying the new one...
So, as you can imagine, i can't boot the tablet, it stucks on 'android' logo...
I've been searching for different ways to reach the file but i can't...
Before doing that renaming operation i managed to root the device and i can get to the recovery menu...
Is there a way to fix this problem?
I appreciate all your advices.
Thank you.
Same Problem
I'm having a very similar problem with that device.
I've deleted the build.prop file while trying to rename it.
Could anyone send me a copy of that file? I'm trying to replace it with an update.zip

Hello.
I'm having the same problem ... Already have some solution?
This worked for me
I made the update.zip file that you could find in attach.
It replaces a build.prop file that will allow a factory reset.
The device will reboot again.
1. copy the file to an microSD
2. plug the microSD in the tablet
3. turn the device on in recovery mode ("volume down" and "on" )
4. select "apply update from sdcard"
5. select the "update-signed.zip" file
6. reboot you device
hope this helps
If you are stuck on the bootlogo, you can always edit/add/replace files in your device. No need for flashable zips.

android commander is not an app its a windows program. Try connectingyour device to your PC and check android commander. If you have an insecure kernel , you can access the root of your device and make any changes you want.

Original rom?
Hi there, is this the original rom file for the MID1060? My tablet is having some problems with the positioning sensor and i need to send it back to warranty, but i've modified it so it can have googleappz on it and i can't restore. Do you think that wth this i can solve it?

I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.
Thank You DAVI FELICANO and deej_roamer for their help. I have now successfully rooted my phone. If someone else has a problem, go to Page 2 for the solution.
You can use the defalt method, dont need to change anything.
Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?
Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.
This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.
If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.

You can install only one game due to it's low internal memory. By one game I mean high graphics game. The obb file remains in the internal storage even after moving to SD card. I tried many things like making SD card default storage using SDK tools but to no Vail. Guess the only way now is to root it & use apps like gl2sd

I followed the thread by deej_roamer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336
Try out my steps:
[Your phone battery must be at least 75%]
1. First download "Fastboot" from the thread. (Click on the "mfastboot-v2" link in the thread)
2. Next install it in a folder and remember that folder. Also, make sure you select the option of "Create shortcut on Desktop" during installation.
3. Next download CWM recovery from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/root-moto-e-rooting-flashing-recovery-t2802971 (Click on the "CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery For MOTO E" link in the thread)
4. Copy the "cwm6.0.4.9_recover.img" file to the installation folder of fastboot.
5. Next download SuperSU v2.02 from here - http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip (Click on "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" link)
6. Don't Extract Supersu zip file.
7. Connect phone to pc. Copy the zip file to your internal memory(the directory of int. memory is /sdcard) (The directory for ext. sd card is /storage/sdcard1).
8. Remove your phone from your pc.
9. Switch off your device.
10. Turn on your device by holding power off button and volume down button together for 6-7 seconds. Quickly connect your phone to your pc.
11. The bootloader must be showing usb connected.
12. Run fastboot from your desktop.
13. Now type this (without quotes) - "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
14. Look at the screen of device. It must be showing "Mismatched partition size (recovery)". It is normal don't worry.
15. Press volume down once (recovery will be selected) and then volume up so that it goes into recovery.
16. It will show the bootloader unlocked warning. Don't worry about it.
17. Your phone should now be in CWM recovery.
18. Don't do anything except what I tell you.

20. Press volume down so that "install zip" is selected.

22. Select "choose zip from /sdcard". Press power button.
23. Find the SuperSU.zip file(It will probably be in the "0/" folder)
24. It will ask to confirm install. Select Yes.
25. SuperSU will be installed.
26. Select CWM reboot. When you select CWM reboot, it will display "root access possibly lost - Fix?". PLEASE Select "No".

28. Open your menu(in the phone) and find SuperSu app (a # symbol will be there in its icon).
29. Disconnect your device from the pc.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE A ROOTED MOTO E.
If you ever wish to flash any other recovery (like twrp),
1. Copy the file to the fastboot installation folder in your pc.
2. Then reboot your device into bootloader and quickly connect it to your pc.
3. Run fastboot from your desktop and then type the following without quotes: "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
4. Instead of writing "cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img" write the complete file name including extension. For eg. if file name is "twrp_recovery_2" and has extension ".img" then write "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_2.img"
I hope that this solved your problem brother.

I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.

Is your recovery.img placed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"?
It need to placed in it or you'll get an error.
Boot loader is LOCKED !! cannot be unlocked !! so no root for me ?
