Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?

Hi guys,
I've just re-installed WhatsApp. I manually backed up my chat history before uninstalling using the built-in backup feature. When I re-installed it, the installation successfully found the backup and automatically restored it. I can see all my messages but the problem is the thumbnails of previous pictures do not open the full image. When I click on the thumbnail it says "Sorry, this media file doesn't exist on your SD card."
However when I check the folder, WhatsApp/Media/Images on my internal SD card, they are all still in there. It seems like the links are broken. Any new pictures that I receive after the re-installation work fine. And these new pictures are also in the said folder along with the previous pictures.
I have tried forcing a rescan of the media; moving all the pictures into another folder, rescanning, moving them back in then rescanning. I am on CM10. The WhatsApp folder is on the internal SD partition as it's always been (even in CM7).
Does anyone have any ideas?

that's pretty much the same as uninstalling and reinstalling. but yeah gave that a try anyway and still the same result
and yeah i did email whatsapp support.. not sure if i'll get a reply though
Just don't think that's possible as of now. Maybe they'll enable it later. If they respond to your email, can you post their response here for all of us to see?
I think/ am quite sure that Whatsapp for now does not re-allow images to be put on their backup servers because of the space it uses. (for millions of users)
Guess that will be a feature will not get for the moment.
it's not restored (uploaded) back onto their servers..
i've restored many times before on CM7 with the thumbnail links (well pointers to be exact) to the full-sized images on the sd card being correct
but i've never experienced this breakage of the "pointers" =\
i will post their reply if they ever do

:/
interestingly enough.. the CM10.1 09/01 2nd build for the LG P990 fixed this whole problem!
Hi
After reading that email response and not seeing no update tells me this has not been resolved?
I just downgraded my phone back to my old one, which in the past I successfully transferred whatsapp (Xperia Mini Pro > Xperia Z)
Now for a temporary reason I need to transfer back from the Z to the Xperia mini pro.
Even though I have factory reset the Xperia mini pro and firmware updated it, when I go to restore the whatsapp, but I am missing the images between the time I got the Xperia Z.
There is like a 6 Month gap, all the Xperia Z media is not linked although they are all in the same folder?
There is a linking issue since the old ones load?
Any thoughts on this.
The only think i noticed that has changed was that the Xperia Z had the files on the Internal SD, where as the Xperia Mini Pro had them on the External SD... Which would explain it, but I cant actually put files on the internal space (it has none for user use)
I would like to resolve this at some point soon.
Many Thanks
i am facing a similar issue as well.
i had to send my xperia z for repair, so i did a backup of the whatsapp folder and did a restore to my old HTC desire s.
whatsapp on the HTC phone was saying that the media is not found (only for old media files), but new media received on HTC phone was ok.
after i got my xperia z back, i did a backup of the whatsapp folder on the htc phone and restored on my xperia z.
now xperia z is able to view all my old media files that were originally received on the xperia phone. but when i try to view any media that i received on the HTC phone, whatsapp is giving the "media not found error". but all the media files are inside the whatsapp directory.
Yeah I just got a note 3 a few weeks ago and transferred my WhatsApp folder from my LG 2X. Got the same problem again. They were both stored on internal SD. I don't think I can be bothered anymore.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I also encountered this problem "sorry this media file doesn't exist on your SD card" and the images are blurred, and after playing it for a while on my ace 2, I finally solved it. Its Whatsapp folder pointer problem.
Basically you need to use a file explorer, and there should be 2 folders, sdcard0 (internal phone memory) and extsdcard (external sd card), your backup (conversations, images, videos) are in extsdcard, and you need to copy the media folder in extsdcard/whatsapp folder and then paste it to sdcard0/whatsapp folder (overwrite), and that's it. If your sdcard0/whatsapp/media contains some images already, then you got to copy the images from extsdcard to sdcard0 (not by folder overwrite).
Hope this helps
I'm having a similar problem.
I downgraded my Samsung Galaxy S from CM11 (which I used for about 6 months) to a custom ICS mod. Even though al my media files are located in the correct folder on my internal SD card and Whatsapp properly reloaded my chat database, Whatsapp doesn't seem to be able to locate the pictures I received or took in the last 6 months. However, pictures from before CM11 are detected properly.
Did something changes in the filesystem setup between ICS and CM11? If so, is there a way to correct this for Whatsapp??
right now the offical last version is 2.11.378 which i downloaded from play store after a clean new rom and i got the "unable to restore" message. then i had downloaded whatsapp+ because of the more options. so i said lets try nothing to loose and voilaaa succesfully restored even with the pictures and everything. i checked the + version. right now it is 2.11.301

I just tried now with Whatsapp+ but still nothing...
Those who cant get their history back, here is the %100 working answer.
First rename your whatsapp folder something else just incase.
Then download whatsapp+ 6.15D and install
Rename your folder back again as whatsapp
Open the app and register your phone just like original version
(If you had a plus backup before the app will ask to restore the plus backup. Pass it and register as normal)
Now restore your messages (you will see it will be restored)
Now go to the plus options and take a full plus backup (not normal whatsapp backup! Plus backup!)
Now rename whatsapp folder again just incase and uninstall whatsapp+ and install the latest plus version
Rename the folder back
This time use plus restore option when you first open the app
And there you go... latest version and your all messages are back )
P.S : Sometimes you can get an error when you register your phone like "your client's base has chaned" if you get the error install the latest original from play store and uninstall it and do the steps from the begenning...

Hi
A friend just experienced the same "Sorry, this media file doesn't exist on your SD card." problem when he moved his WhatsApp chats between two phones, like b1inarical did with his Xperia Z and HTC Desire S.
Has anyone found a technical workaround to this perennial WhatsApp account transfer problem, or is it innate and cannot be solved?
Thanks in advance.
This worked for me - backup the entire WhatsApp directory from the old phone from the SDCARD (or wherever it is on your phone), then copy it to the new phone BEFORE you install WhatsApp. When you install it on your new phone choose to RESTORE THE MESSAGE backup and the images should be linked to the correct directory on your phone

I have found the root cause, but not a way to fix this issue.
By switching WhatsApp from a Nexus 5 to a Galaxy S2 (have to send N5 in RMA) I restored conversations but media link is broken, although the folder has been placed correctly.
By opening your WhatsApp DB (/data/data/com.whatsapp/msgstore.db) with a text editor like Notepad++, look for
Code:
/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp
This is the WhatsApp folder on my Nexus 5. However, the internal SD card on the Galaxy S2 is /storage/sdcard0. Since WhatsApp is quite stupid, it saves the FULL path in the DB, instead of pointing straight to /sdcard/.
If I open this DB with ANY SQLite browser, I can find only few of these paths, contained in the media_refs table. Only 51 results are shown, while I have thousands of audio clips and pictures. Messages table does contain many information, including the Whatsapp server where the media has been downloaded, but not the path on the device.
Does anybody know how to pull this information? It is displayed when opened in Notepad++ (and I can see thousands of results searching for /storage/emulated/0/) but the DB table does not show all of them...
Sorry to bump an old thread but is the only thread I can find with a similar issue to mine. HTC M8 (lolipop) is in for repair and managed to back up my chat history to a loan phone from a friend HTC desire 610 (kitkat). Chat history has been restored with no issues. But the media images are "not on SD card" however if I manually browse they are there. Did anyone find a solution or a way to change the path as per Oliver's post?
Strange part is that videos have moved over with no issues. Just images.
Hey guys,
i need help our here. i am facing a rather odd problem which started yesterday. whenever i tried to open gallery, it says "
Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as download softwares, videos and documents."
I have factory reset the device 3 times deleted everything, flashed using ODIN but no avail. Any body has any solution for this?
I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error

Doing a clean install (with a wipe) of stock as suggested by the previous poster is a sound idea, you'd do well to do exactly that (if you want to fix your problems, that is).

comee on guyz, no other solution except new stock flashing.
plz do tell me if u got some solution.
thnx
Do a factory reset then. You're doing that whether you flash anything or not. You either flash + factory reset or factory reset on its own (which might not work). They're the possible fixes, you not wanting to do those things doesn't change the fix.
That means i am stuck with Flashing only.
Thanks for your support but i will try to find out some solution.
One more thing, i deleted the two files application-support.apk and application-support.odx , so can these two files cuase such problem (as on xda-forum i learned that by deleting these files, "android.process.media stop" problem can be solved easily with out de-stabling the ROM)

hi. what about flashing kitkat 4.4. will it be oka.
or i should flash only official rom. wht u suggest
Stock rom first, then if you want to put a custom rom on you can do that. The first thing is to get the phone working normally again I.E no FC's.
Hey,
i am owner of an Cube iPlay10
It comes with stock Android 6.
No Contacts app pre Installed.
Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.
Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.
I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!
And that will be another problem i guess...
Can you guys help me out?
I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...
https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw
Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.
Regards
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?
I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.
Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I
The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.
Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
i did it with help of this exact video.
smtg went wrong i guess
i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.
i will oen up a new thread i guess.
try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.
https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/
(lookout for marshmallow 6)
i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...
Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
I'm struggling with something that never happened to me, I'm unable to restore my database to my recently upgraded Samsung J3 2016 - is running LineageOS 14.1 now
The phone was running stock Android 5.1.1, version J320FXXU0AQI1, nothing fancy here.
Made some research about what ROM to use and decided to upgrade to LineageOS 14.1, I'm really sick and tired of Google spying my steps, my contacts and the number of times i take a piss every day, and so on. Right now I don't have any Google account associated with the mobile (could this be the problem, since this is a custom ROM?)
Everything ran smoothly, backed up my contacts, call logs, SMS, pictures and the ENTIRE Whataspp folder. This method always worked fine on several phones I've upgraded or simple swapped equipment to a more up-to-date hardware. Everytime worked like a charm, restored logs, contacts and so on, in what it concerns to Whatsapp i simply moved the ENTIRE folder to the new phone (or upgraded phone), installed the Whatsapp app and is just straight forward for the app to ask me for a SMS code to activate the software and then asked me to restore my backed up database. It has been very simple so far, but not this time:
When it reachs the point to detect and restore my database Whatsapp states that can find one Database from 1970 (???? WTF) with 0 bytes, and after that it fails to restore my data (not strange, 0 bytes is no data). I've already tried earlier versions of Whataspp, tried different databases (there are 7 in my folder, i don't believe all of them are corrupted). I'm reaching 0 ways to explore. BTW, i dont use Google drive to store my backups because its enough for Google to know how many times i take a piss everyday, i rather have the backups with me, on my phone (thanks any way Google), but the files are safe in my desktop and on my phone for now, inaccessible so far but their're there.
Can any one point me some way to try to revive my database? Just a note, i have an older phone that still have Whatsapp there, i didn't erased it, maybe it's there something of interest for this situation?
Thanks so much in advance for everyone that can help, any hint can be helpful.
Update!
I've managed to get another phone, exactly the same, Samsung J3 201 J320F.
I've sent my whatsapp folder to the phone, signed in to my google account, installed whatasapp and, like 98% of the times my backup is ok and is restored. Now I have two phones:
1- one with Whataspp working fine (the one with Stock ROM 5.1.1 J320FXXU0AQI1
2- another one, the main phone, where i want to put my whataspp backup working but it simply doesnt work (previous post). Everything elese is settled and working just fine. Maybe whatasapp doesnt like Custom ROMs??
So, I'm sure that my backups are fine, right now I have access to anything that i may need i guess. I don't believe that Im the first person not beeing able to restore whataspp backups in LineageOS.
Please help
New developments.: I've installed Ressurection 5.8.5, the latest available for this phone. It runs ok, but Whataspp problem is still there, the backup is marked to have 0Kb, somehow Whataspp simple doesn't want to recover my backup if I'm using a custom firmware (I receive a warning about no support from them if I have problems at the beginning of the startup process).
So far this method didn't work (Whatsapp shows my Backup with 0Kb):
1) Copy your latest crypt 12 file to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
2) Install / Activate WhatsApp
3) WhatsApp will retrieve the key from their server and restore your backup.
I've tried this method that appeared to have some success in same cases. Followed everything but no luck, Whataspp detects a 0Kb backup also.
Meanwhile I still don't believe that I'm the very 1st person that this happens, I'm still very impressed with this. If the OP thinks I'm in the wrong Topic please feel free to move it to the right place, maybe there I'll have better luck.
Not that I have much knowledge in that direction, but the issue sounds more like it is about the file than Whatsapp itself. Maybe some permission issue? If you use a filemanager app like total commander, can it read the file fully? I found a topic that had 0 byte filesize issue and a simple reboot apparently fixed it.

Hello musschrott, and thanks for replying.
I've tried moving the database file, erase it, changing it's name and the android system allows me to do it, i think the file itself is free to be read by Whataspp, but your other tip, the permissions in system made me google around (even more..) about it and I found here on XDA this. : "The privacy protection in the drop down menu and the permission in the app settings." (credits to LegoTechniker). On the privacy protection is all ON but in the Permission is all OFF and Whataspp nor the System ask me to turn it ON and it can result on whatasapp reading files with 0Kb from 1970.
I'll give a try but only tomorrow because the code/phonecall from Whataspp have a 48h delay and keeps increasing everytime I try a different method to solve this issue.
musschrott, thanks again!

For everyone and specially those who helped (musschrott).
This has worked for me: giving full permissions to Whataspp in "Settings - Privacy" and in "Settings - Applications" worked like a charm, you have to do it BEFORE you start Whatsapp.
Best regards to everyone and thanks once more!
Make sure the WhatsApp backup file is in internal storage, and rename the backup file to msgstore.db.crypt.
After upgrading to LineageOS 14.1,install WhatsApp.When asked to restore from backup,choose the "msgstore.db.crypt" file.

Yes,
Those are the basic steps, but BEFORE running Whatasapp for the 1st time you have to give permissions in the system to Whatsapp because these are all OFF and the system doesn't ask to turn them ON when the permission is needed, simply presents you a file with 0Kb from 1970 and that's it. Again, you have to do this BEFORE the 1st Whatsapp startup and everything should run well.
Best regards
My issue is I gave full write permissions but then it goes straight to the Google Drive restore and does not show my local backup.

Steps: 1)make sure you rename the database as it should be.
2)Install whatsapp
3)Insert your number when asked
4)Use Otp/code
5)Then the app will ask you for google drive permission ,click allow/ok
6)Then the app will ask for contact permission ,simply deny this permission (very important)
7)Then the app will ask for storage permission ,hit allow (very important)
8)Then you will see your local storage behind the popup saying allow google drive and crap You will need to press add account and have your fingers ready for instant tapping between add account and instant tapping restore button ,and out of 10-30 times doing this practice, you will luckily hit restore button, I know this sounds confusing, And I can make a tutorial video if you want ,this works 100%
9)once it is restored ,you will still see app asking google drive option, don't click skip (this will reset the app ,leading to nothing restored) , So when the app is asking to restore from google drive, close the app right away (very important)
10)open the app ,and the app will ask you to set name ,set your name ,and you'll see all your backup"

It works but then it shows my local backup as 0k and from 12/31/1969
This is Driving me wild and now I have to wait 12 hrs to try again. Has anyone solved this ridiculous error?
