Hello arcsuser,
Thanks for your help,
I have downloaded the zip file as proposed.
unfortunately I was not able to install it because I don't have the root access on my tablet.
If there is a way to install the zip file without the recovery mode I'd be glad to know it.
if not, I will have to go through the process.
thanks again for your help.
let me know if there is a way without the root mode
:good:

U want to install it without root, i dont think thats possible,
Anyway have you try installing it as a normal apks? If it still doesnt install then i guess you really have to be rooted..
How about, get root, install apps, then unroot.. I dont think the apps are affected. Im not sure just give it a try

Actually I have now the same question than "OP" on the recovery mode. I have now rooted the device the "super user app" is available and activated.
but I still can't access the recovery mode. I have tried the key combination mentioned in your post to "OP". then I referred to the post from DooMLoRD "All the info you need before you begin" with the Xperia Z tablet where the recovery mode is described.
I have the sony screen displayed, then I press volume up, the boot is going the normal way.
I tried with the usb cable connected to the PC, then it goes directly to the Xperia logo.
I tried the normal reboot (one light falshing) and the hard reboot (3 lights flashing) I do not have the device vibrating like explained by DooMLoRD.
Is this the reasn ?

did you spam the volume up?
our tablet will not vibrate because DooMLoRDs links is actually for phone that ALSO works for XTZ..
You said you're rooted but still cant go to recovery.. HHmmmm..
Do you have the recovery installed? cause if not it will not work
you can install it Here
if you are rooted and the recovery is installed.. then nothing can go wrong

You don't need recovery to install the apps if you have root. Just unzip the file using root explorer. The unzipped file will show from the structure where the files have to go so just copy them to the corresponding folder on the tab using root explorer. (apps, and their associated odex file if there is one, will usually be in /system/app folder) Don't forget to set the permissions (rw-r--r-- for system apps and odex files), also using root explorer. Reboot and if they're gonna work as system apps they will...

Hello,
thanks for the walk through.
I have followed it step by step and here is the result. my computer (PC windows 7) makes a sound like a usb device is connected but not recognized.
when I connect the tablet in the normal way it is recognized without problem.
do you think I need to install some drivers on the PC as well ?
thanks for your help

Sup guys, im really desesperate, today i rooted mi motorola xt316 spice key, so i deleted some apps for a better performance, but now the screen is black, i can view the notificaction bar and the lock screen but its all, what can i do? i searched for one rom and i found nothing, do u guys have a rom or something? ohh and i already do a hard reset.. still the same, please help
What apps had you deleted?

well i dont remember exactly, but i deleted ones of motorola, u know the widget time, and others. i dont remeber exacly, damn:s
Black screen.. I think you have deleted the launcher
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
any suggestion?:S
Is your phone set up with an android market account? I've actually had this problem before and what you do is just install a launcher from the android market and it automatically installs on your phone and it should work perfectly. I still recommend you should reinstall the apps you lost because if you factory reset your phone it will be just as you described. hope it helps!
No , i cant login in with my account, i reset the phone with the factory reset, and when i turn it on, i cant connect with the google servers.
Have someone text you a link to the apk of a launcher, when you get the notification click the download link and when it finished downloading select the download from the notification bar. It'll prompt you to install. If you don't have unknown sources checked then it'll ask you to turn that option on. Once you have a launcher installed then your phone will function properly (depending on what you removed) until you can get the stock rom flashed.
Our you can go straight to the flashing part. Find a rom - stock if you'd like - and flash it. There should be some kind of stock flasher available if there aren't any roms, like an RUU or something... I think RUUs are only for HTC devices, but there should be something similar for your device.
If your phone has a subforum here on XDA, check there for stock or custom roms.

thanks for the response, i have a question; the launcher can be installed via adb?, im gonna try your solution first.
Well I tried the message metod and I apparently delete the default browser, so I tried to install pro launcher via adb but the cmd command says offline device, i think is because the usb debugging is off?, i cant activate it because the screen is black:S
Just flash your rom via Odin. It safer and easy
Odin? what is that? its compatible with the motolola spice key xt316? thanks for the response.
The problem is i cant put my phone in usb debugging because the screen is black, is there another method?
boot ur phone in recovery mode,
this does not need usb-debugging to be On,
and u can use adb...
worth to try
thanks dude im gonna try now.
I put my phone in recovery mode, and i plug the phone to my pc,but when i type adb devices, it doesnt appear.
in the recovery mode there is this options:
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
download nb0 from sd card
when i tried to install using the adb install comand it says error: device not found

ya i think i know why
its the USB drivers for hboot
u need to install drivers for the phone (hboot drivers)
so the machine recognize the phone when plugged
--- or ---
u can get the apk and pack it as an update.zip file (google this to find out how)
then use the option (apply update from sd card)
i think this will install the apk

I need some serious help... I think I bricked my Nextbook Premium 7. I compiled a custom ROM and forgot to included a launcher. Didn't realize it until after I flashed it. My tablet is stuck in a bootloop and only way to shut it down is with the reset [pin hole] button. Power button does nothing except start it up. I have already tried to put the stock update.img on an external SD hoping it would boot from there, but it did not. I am not sure what to do next, I have looked all over google and xda. Please help!
Thank you in advance!
Do you have a custom recovery installed? Did you try installing it threw fastboot files and cmd prompt on computer?
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!

There ins't a custom recovery installed, this device flashes by detecting an update.img and askes to install it. It doesn't get past what would be considered the kernel screen. This tablet doesn't work like a standard android phone. There are no hard buttons except the power button, so attempting to get into any recovery is not possible. It also doen't boot enough to add any files to it.
Sounds like your screwed. Sorry.....

Ok, just bricked my Nextbook 7
Here is how I flashed a firmware without access to recovery:
If you are in a bootloop, Connect USB and Power.
Press and hold pin on back until you hear windows try to detect a device but the screen is off.
Download this: http://arctablet.com/assets/tools/Fi..._Tool_v1.4.zip
Install the driver from the drivers folder.
3. Installing the drivers on the computer
Following the tablet entering in recovery mode, the computer should now show it has found a new USB device and prompt for a device driver. Select the appropriate driver in the driver directory from the Rockchip Flash Tool 1.4 package.
It will then install the driver for RK29 Device
4. Sending the firmware to the tablet
The flashing tool should display a green square around the number 1 in the lower left area of the Windows application.
Select the firmware file to flash using the button in the top right area of the application. Select the update.img file from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/NQHSNZJSO2
Then push the Upgrade button to transfer the selected firmware to the tablet.
The firmware will be copied to the tablet, a progression counter will go from 0% to 100% on this step, followed by a verification.
You are done, let the tablet reboot and update itself. It should take a few minutes for the flash process to finish.
This procedure has been successfully tested on Windows XP 32 bits for flashing a bricked NextBook 7 Premium YF1011 (but should work on others)

Please help, got the tablet yesterday NEXT7P12 YF091211085 by flashing the official site was a brick, the tablet will not turn on, the computer does not see it.
screen moved after installing rom
Hi, i don't know if I'm on the right place but if anyone can help me, please I haw the Nextbook 7 premium and have instaled costum rom on it, but after rebooting my screen position has moved from right to left 2 cm and from up to down 1 cm , so my screen is moved I don't know why I have try to install 3 other rom and factory firmware but the screen is still moved or should I say cut. Any ideas? please I have try to google it but no luck...
I no longer have my np7 but I did try just about every ROM for it. Never have I had or seen an issue like this, and in truth I can't think of what the issue may be.
There are different np7 variants and some don't play nice with custom ROMs (built sept 2012 and older lose WiFi) so you might have a model that can only use one software due to hardware/firmware change.
There never was much development for the np7 here, I think finlessbob and others are still working on it at freaktab.com maybe see if they can help

Unzip the file (it 's called update.img) and copy it to the the primary partition of the tablet via the USB connection. After removing the USB cable, the tablet will ask if you want to install this new software. Say yes. The tablet will reboot into an android recovery. After restarting, your tablet will be rooted.
happy rooting!!

Hi guys. I got the Tmobile LG G2 and it was running on Android 4.4.2 LG G2 D80110c. Then I changed the dpi by editing the build.prop via root explorer up but when the device reboots, it shows system force close and I basically cannot do anything. I realized that my TWRP recovery hadn't installed successfully and also I think download mode is not working. Computer recognizes the device when it is on... Can someone please tell me how to unbrick my device? Is there a way to install TWRP at the current condition of the phone? I think I cannot use lg flashtool because that requires the phone to be in download mode, while mine can't get in download mode...please help! thank you!
Edit: also when I try to hard factory reset the device it shows: ERROR: boot certification error and it gets stuck in black screen.
What I can think of is a way to manually install TWRP via adb or manually flash a kernel that supports custom dpi, but the only problem is that I don't know how to do that...

I don't think my phone is hard bricked. USB debbuging is on and computer recognizes the device when it boots up. I simply don't know how to install twrp via adb commands or alternative methods ... or how to manually flash a custom kernel that would allow normal device boot up when dpi is changed.

I saw those I just can't get it to be recognized by the computer. Did the guy in the video try the hard brick fix from XDA? It is not very clear how he gets his laptop to recognize the device

Hi guys. I got the Tmobile LG G2 and it was running on Android 4.4.2 LG G2 D80110c. Then I changed the dpi by editing the build.prop via root explorer up but when the device reboots, it shows system force close and I basically cannot do anything. I realized that my TWRP recovery hadn't installed successfully and also I think download mode is not working. Computer recognizes the device when it is on... Can someone please tell me how to unbrick my device? Is there a way to install TWRP at the current condition of the phone? I think I cannot use lg flashtool because that requires the phone to be in download mode, while mine can't get in download mode...please help! thank you!
Edit: also when I try to hard factory reset the device it shows: ERROR: boot certification error and it gets stuck in black screen.
What I can think of is a way to manually install TWRP via adb or manually flash a kernel that supports custom dpi, but the only problem is that I don't know how to do that...

This thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 might help you installing twrp via adb
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again
sp flash tools v5.1716.

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

thank you, phonedriller
everything worked perfectly via SPFlash Tool.
and, referring back to our above questions re the possibility of getting TWRP onto the phones, a developer friend of mine writes me this:
>try to flash TWRP:
>Download following files from this link:
>https://mega.nz/#F!qZIgnJRK!5apBfYo1je0ytg-wmA6JMQ
>- Odin3 v3.12.3 (Complete folder)
>- twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>1. Start your Phone into download mode
>2. Start Odin (Odin3 v3.12.3\Odin3.exe)
>3. Click on Options and unmark Auto Reboot
>4. Click AP and select twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>5. Press Start and wait until finished (Reset or OK!)
>6. Restart your phone immediatly to recovery mode
>7. In TWRP Recovery click on mount
>8. Set the checkbox checked at system (that system is mounted)
>9. go back and click on advanced
>10. Open file manager
>11. navigate to system/build.prop and click on build.prop
>12. Click on chmod
>13. type: 0644 and hit the accept button on screen or at the virtual
>keyboard on your phone
>14. restart your phone
i haven't tried this, but am wondering whether it might seem "reasonably possible" when reading through it.
thanks

Do you perhaps have link to Q8S5IN4GP stock rorm? Mine came with malware installed on it. I want to see if those were chinese who preinstalled or or was it decided by Auchan.

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I guess the best thing would be a lineage or cyanogen ported rom(clean),ps i flashed the phone 2 times because of popups/adds and battery drain,however im aware that having root and installing tones of crasy stuff can fu.. Up any phone cheap or flagship,thus the firmware flashes,i discovered that having malwarebytes(premium)free for 30days keeps the phone clean and working fine,it seems that one is forced to buy from a main stream brand or risk this kind of thing,little to no support,no updates at all,bad security,the problem is certain apps if removed resoult in boot loop like this Helper app

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks
