Hello, I picked up a Panasonic KX-PRX120 home phone. It comes with Android 4.0. Anyone aware of a generic root for it? I'd like to install "private caller" identification apps.
I too picked up this phone!
I have this device, it runs ICS 4.0.4, feels quite old.
I wanted to updated this to Jelly Bean at least, many popular apps are not available in the store, or simply do not work with it.
No 'Talking Caller ID' app works with it currently, all of them say 'Call from Unknown'.
I'm willing to compile Cyanogenmod from source if necessary (if and when I learn how to do it), but I'd like to create an existing image backup for my device first. Also, I'll need to ensure that the Landline App and DECT 6.0 features from Panasonic would work on my new rom.
Any tips anyone? Or am I looking at the impossible?
I have one too and was amazed to discover that with a clean install when you run all of the updates there is only 12M spare on the internal storage! This is a problem because I use CardDAV to sync my contacts between all my devices and they have to be stored on the internal storage.
I would like to root the phone so that I can mount the SD card to increase the amount of internal storage so that the phone is actually useable.
Just rooted mine.

Awesome... please let us know what you do with it... obviously new firmware is no good without it still working as a landline.
Is/was anybody able to install to install a suppported android generation on the Panasonic KX-PRX120G in the last 5 years? I bought one for a few bucks on ebay and don't have any experience with rooting/flashing of Android devices and would need some help. Thanks.
I bought a TCL S720T from China about two weeks ago. It has 4.2.2 with 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM and is based on MT6592. When I first got the phone, the internal storage was displayed as about 5.9GB out of which most (about 5.85GB) was available. I would like to mention here that when I connected my phone to the PC thru a USB cable, the total internal storage was also shown as 5.9GB on PC.
I did the following to the phone and now I am in trouble... plz help
As I bought it from China, it did not have Google apps. I rooted the phone to get these installed. During rooting I deleted some useful original apps.
I tried to restore the phone to factory settings but the deleted apps did not return (I do not know what did I do wrong). I started to search for phone's stock ROM but could not find it. Also all information on the web is in Chinese and that too no accessible from where I live.
After a couple of days, I found a ROM on "lewaos" website. It was translated from Chinese to "S720T Le Frog bottom package. Zip" and the website claimed that it was the original ROM. I thought that it is the actual ROM by TCL so I flashed it using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1343.01. When the system rebooted, the radio was not working as the baseband was missing, however, the total internal storage was shown as about 4.90GB. I just want to mention here that I never backed up my original ROM (bad on my part).
There was another ROM update given on the same website for installation using external SD card. So, I installed the ROM, but this time the total internal storage wasshown as 1.09GB out of which 1GB was available. I got worried and tried to find other ROMs to fix the issue. I found some ROMs from website named "needrom" and tried them too. Whenever I use flash tool to load the ROM which I got from LEWA website, the phone shows 4.9GB internal storage but the phone radio does not work. However, as soon as I install any ROM using SD card, the internal storage is shown close to 1.1GB. I have even downloaded the official ROM update from "tclmobile" website and installed it using SD card, but the internal storage is still shown as 1.1GB. Also, whenever I connect my phone to PC thru the USB cable, the total internal storage is shown as 1.1GB out of which about 1GB is free.
While installing ROM thru SD card, I have always adopted the process of wiping the factory settings and cache in the recovery mode.
I would also like to mention here that during the process of loading ROMs, I lost the radio operation due to invalid IMEI, which I later restored using AT+... commands (thanks to xda-developer forums).
Having said all that let me summarize my problems:-
I have lost the original Stock ROM of my phone and no support is available outside China.
Whenever I install ROMs through SD card, the internal storage is 1.1GB, I want my actual internal storage ie 5.9GB back.
Please help me to fix my phone
Thanks
Maybe we can help each other i have a backup may work for you...
Hey what up dude,
I have exact phone, and similar issue. no backup, but I have a horrible boot loop for one MONTH now, I am going crazy, even the guys at china-devices.com are not much help. (But may help your problem).
I can't backup but i can access stock recovery and NEED to install CWM recovery via SD as the bootloop just blocks all attempts to connect the phone to the PC. I cant see my phone data but i know i have your ROM and model, using TCL factoryware. Octo the whole nine yards.
Another long time friend has a TCL S720T and he sent me a zip of a ROM backup he made. I can pass it to you via wetransfer or email attachment.
Note that his backup is UN-rooted so it should work OK, and be 'pure' maybe some factory crapware he wiped off it. and you will likely need to fix the IMEI issue, (or maybe not, and I am a newb so can't help you there, yet).
In return, could you tell me how you fixed your issue, what exact tools you used, and so on? Sepecially if used MTK driod tools what version and SP flashtools what version any and all info will be great thanks.
There is an app you can istall that shows you which apk are system apps and not to touch, i had it installed, but i am lord of the idiots, and went ahead and deleted the chinese keyboard, hey presto, one really great phone I had almost totally customised my way, now in a month-long boot loop and may never recover.
Wow. It was amazing to hear that someone else also has this phone but was sad to know that you are also facing problems. Please contact me on [email protected]. I will first try to resolve your issues then will post those solutions on xda.
By the way, I have resolved all my issues and my phone is up and running like anything. Thanks to android lovers all over the world. I will try to give you solutions one by one.
SOLVED! & Thanks Muiz!
SOLVED with this tutuorial... all credit to the OP, Muiz, I'm only passing it forward, this is a GREAT phone, hope to see more users soon!
If we address your first problem of not being able to boot the phone at all, I will propose to go to this link (use any English translator if you do not read Chinese) ... you may use www.micrsofttranslator.com
http://bbs.lewaos.com/learn-s720t.html
You will find these steps in a tutorial.
1, download the ROM and put it into the SD card root directory (on computer operation)
Download LeWa_TCL_S720T_JB2_ROM__XXXXX.zip ( from bbs.lewaos.com) and copy ROM package in zip format to phone external SD card root directory.
2, download the Flash tool latest version and unzip it to the desktop (computer operation)
Download SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01, and extract it to your computer desktop.
3, download music frog end of packet (on computer operation) lewaos.com
Download end of Le frog, S720T package. zip and extract it to your computer desktop. lewaos.com
4, download and install the Flash drive Download MT65xx flash drive _ automatically installed. rar (lewaos.com ), and extract it to your computer desktop, double-click the InstallDriver.exe folder is automatically installed
If you desire to install any un-rooted original backup you have, to your phone, do not download the file in step 1.
To make the tutorial short; first install the drivers as mentioned in step 4. Then extract the file mentioned in step 3 in a folder on your desktop. Extract and start the flash tools utility and give the path of the folder you copied on your desktop. There is going to be a sort of file with name “MT6592_Android_scatter.txt”. Use its path to flash the ROM.
You will have to wait for some time, but the Flash tools will install the LEWA ROM on your phone.
rooting
can this be rooted with stock rom on it
what does the different roms look like, photos please
ok guys i have tcl s720 without the "t" whats the difference? i went to the chinese website & had a look around with an english translator & i see downloads for s720t but none for s720 .
i recently changed my rom from what it arrived with as play store didnt work & push notifications so i flashed successfully this rom
wwwdotneedromdotcom/download/tcl-720t-cm11-v2-w200s-lstyle-port/
this is ported from THL w200s which works well just a few slight issues with storage etc but better than what i had as play store works
what im also looking for is there actually a fully working rom for the s720 ? & where can i get a fully working stock rom for this phone? yes i have searched tirelessly but roms i checkout seem to have quite a few bugs so im just looking for a good stable one.
apart from few issues this phone im more than satisfied with

I apologize for newbie confusion - i am trying to understand - but not finding anything step by step with Sprint Samsung note 3 NK4 4.4.4 version - or anything step by step in the past month.
Here is why i want to root
1. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM:my phone keeps telling me i'm about out of storage and my spotify downloads keep getting lost - prior to some update - i was able to put spotify cache on external 64gb . but now - it is on the 32GB internal- my spotify is about that huge - 32gb - i don't get sprint everywhere so important. and it won't move (i've downloaded file moving apps - none work for kitkat 4.4.4) I have 96gb of space on my phone ! I have enough room ! why did developers make external drive so difficult to use ?!?!?!??!?!!?!??!?!?
2. I had the non root modification for free hotspot working back in august/September - again - an update and it no longer works - not as important as number 1. but was nice - i pay $100/month for unlimited plan - i don't want to pay for the occasional use as hotspot for ipad
My PROBLEM:
trying to go through this forum - or to begin to root - my first problem - I have a Mac computer (though access to windows) i've bricked a router - i really don't want to soft or otherwise brick or Trip Knox on my phone - I want to be able to upgrade if i stay w/ sprint - and don't want to void any warranties
I can't find Specific NOTE 3 4.4.4 NK4 root information - when i search forum it is for the Galaxy S5 .
i am not understanding odexed and deodexed ? -
most all i read is for Nh7 - ?! and NH7 seems to go w/ 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.4.4
I just want to be sure i do the right thing for my specific phone - would really like to NOT trip knox - would love a one download step - and for it to work - i'm not a programmer - i know just enough to get me in a lot of trouble - so the step by step w/ my specifics so i know it actually worked as i follow steps of someone else.
i would prefer not to root - but the storage thing is really driving me nuts. if you know of a simpler route to make phone use storage like RAID - would be great - but everything on play store is for rooted devices. thank you for patience in helping me.:good:

All I can give is info, first no free hotspot/or WiFi tether without a rooted phone. Second, there is NO rooting process for 4.4.4 NK4 that will NOT trip KNOX, as yet. The only option available to you is to downgrade your phone to the version of KitKat 4.4.2 NC5. Then you can use the TowelRoot app and root your device WITHOUT tripping KNOX. Once rooted this will give you the ability to run WiFi Tether Router app ( what I use ) to run internet for my PC.
As for your not being able to write spotify to external storage, there was an update that stopped us from doing this. Here is an app that fixes the problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684188 however again it requires a rooted device.
Since your spotify file is so big, the cache in the device can't process/move it all at once. Is there a way to create a new spotify folder on your on your Mac/ PC, then move small amounts of spotify to you computer till it is all there. Then create a new folder on your device where you want spotify to be, and move small amounts back to the new folder. ( you should be able to do this via your charging cable connected to your computer, once the auto play comes up, choose to view files, then create a new spotify folder in either the internal sd card music folder or on the external sd card create a music folder then inside that create a new spotify folder ). Then move it back in small amounts, you can do this without being rooted.
Now restart your phone and the new folder will show up. Here is my thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!
pls explain downgrading - and see update
i greatly appreciate your response-. first-i esteem your opinion and have seen your name in a lot of threads- and most people here have much more knowledge than i- but i see you helping them too so:
1. would you recommend that i root my phone?
2. if no- respect that answer bc on my part not very confident-i have an above understanding of technology-but the realm of programming and rooting REALLY out of my comfort zone
3. if yes: what are the pros and cons of down grading? -- (and this baffles me of - how can downgrading not trip knox - ? i realize a 'loop hole' of some type of programming has prevented my current version - i just find it odd that a loop hold allowing downgrading would work and not trip it (and is downgrading HARD ?!)
4. i am unclear of some terms stock vs rom what is the correct term for the rom i currently use (bc i think of of it is stock- but what i read doesn't seem to line up to my understanding)
----Update---- I don't know how ! but some how - I NOW HAVE SPOTIFY SAVING TO MY EXTERNAL SD WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT did i mention - I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ?! !!
now ....
i use es file explorer - and i was able to make folders etc on ext sd card - NOW I CAN'T (how the heck did i get spotify on there?!) but i wanted to delete some folders and rename my 2014_backup folder to 2015_backup b/c there's nothing in there - and now that i have spotify on there and downloading to ext sd card - DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH IT blah.
thanks again for your direction and help - i appreciate all the info - i am just slightly overwhelmed to find a concise step by step --- i've downloaded SO many 'tools' but haven't any clue which - when - etc - and it seems everyone has just a speck different situation - math never my strong suit b/c unless the example given in class was exactly like homework - i never made the leaps to solve it if it didn't follow the step by step example - or required me to figure out it was multi stepped w/ another learned module - i'm a step by step no frills thrills girl - no genius here... so again - i'm grateful.

First where you able to create and or remove files with you PC connected via the charging cable ? BTW you might be able to get your hotspot working, without root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 I know it says root required on the top but that is only for some not all of the features of the app. Another person got his note 3 hotspot to work without a rooted device .
1/2. Ok, let me first ease your fears of rooting. Rooting is to gain access to your phone that is otherwise locked by the manufacturer. I have rooted pretty much every phone I've ever used and have never had an issue turning it in or taking it in for warranty work. I do a lot of trade ins with Best Buy, as they have better pricing and perks than Sprint, and I haven't had an issue yet. I just put a stock Note 3 rom on, erase all my info and trade it in. I also have taken my phone into Sprint for warranty work with no issues. They do not check root to do warranty work unless you bring in a Note 3 running an S5 rom and even then they will tell you, on the side, to put a stock rom on and bring it back in. Sprint cannot refuse your request based on a rooted device and, worst case, just pay the deductible and get another phone through your insurance if you're that worried. The warranty voided issue is really only if you send the phone back to Samsung but who is doing that really? Bottom line, rooting your phone will do nothing but give you COMPLETE access to your phone to do as you please. Is it scary at times? Absolutely if you do not know what you are doing. However, you do not seem like you are looking for customized roms and themes so just download a stock rooted rom with hotspot and you'll be set. As you get more comfy then you can play around with the phone and different roms and really have some fun. So yes I recommend root.
3. As far as downgrading, you cannot do this and it will not trip Knox. Knox is only tripped if you flash a custom recovery image and I believe CF Auto Root trips Knox based on its script but I could be wrong. I'm almost positive, based on your description, that you took the OTA to NK4 and as such you cannot downgrade once you update the bootloader image. I know this is all Greek to you but trust me once you upgrade via OTA you cannot go backwards. Also, once rooted, you cannot receive any more OTAs unless you unroot and return the phone to complete stock out of the box. However, once rooted, you won't want to return to stock. It's easy to unroot as well so no issue there. Once an update comes out the devs here are pretty good in getting rooted roms out using the updated rom. All you would have to do is flash the firmware to allow the phone to run the newest rom. Again, I know this is all Greek to you but you'll understand more and more as time goes by. If you need further help, just PM me and I'll help you as much as I can.
4. Stock means exactly that. It's a stock phone without root. However, it could also mean you're running a stock rom( ie the same rom the phone is shipped with) vs a customized rom( ie an S5 or Note 4 Ported Rom).
Hi, I would be grateful if someone could help me root and install a custom rom on this device. Please refer to the 3 images showing detailed information about my tablet.
Thank you very much for your help.
hey did you ever get this rooted?
Hi guys. I am also very much interested in root for this device. If we manage root on this it will become extremely useful. Please lets keep the thread active. II havent been in this forum for a while now as I didnt have an android device since I sold my Note 5.
I suggest we contact any of the forum members who are advanced in these matters to assist us with the root for Overdyve.
I'm Interested as Well
I'm going to try to dive in and see if I can figure out rooting my Overdryve. Since they don't seem to sell too many of these, I think we'll have to figure out how to do this without a nifty app. If anyone has any thoughts/pointers/useful articles, perhaps they'd share them.

I agree with you 100%. We really need to stick together on this and help each other out noting that these devices are very few. In the event we are unable to root the device is there any other way of enabling Google Play Services without requiring root? If I can get support for the Google services I will be good to go. Currently most of Google apps are not supported. Thankfully Google Maps works as I absolutely needed this to work as the Rand navigation software is not located in my country. I bought this to use away from USA and so far the most disappointing issue is that Rand disabled support for Google apps.
I will read widely and support you where I can.
I bought the Overdryve 7 a few days ago and there is literally NOTHING out there to help Root it, install a custom recovery, or how to install Google Play Services. I have tried rooting it with KingoRoot and King Root but to no avail. I haven't resorted to such generic methods to root anything since Towel root. This is why TWRP is essential to have.
Bump :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Please delete. Wrong thread.
Still nothing new
I have the Overdryve 7, and 8 Pro... hoping that someone out there much smarter than I has been working on this. Eager to make these thing earn their cost back.

There must be a key combo like too enter the Recovery Menu, but I cant figure it out.
Anyone?
Would someone be able to upload the stock launcher, please? I managed to root and build a custom recovery for my TND740, wanted to try it out.

you can try kingo root but I have to warn you that you verify that the website you download from is legit and not a a phishing website Lord of the root apk is not infact root apk but malware.
if you are on anything which is Android 6 plus chances that this APK will not root your phone because of security enhancements in that case your only choice is to to find a TWRP recovery for your phone Google TWRP and your phone name number follow instructions to flash it most of the time putting your phone in fastboot and flashing the image does the job and after that you can install magisk which will root your phone .With the option magisk hide enable you can fool other apps that your phone is not rooted or you can disable the superuser or root completely within magisk manager and use as non rooted phone.

My Android version is 5.1, but I heard really bad things about Kingo.
I tried TWRP Recovery, but my device is not listed.
Also, I'd like to know: is it true that rooting wipes all data from your phone? I'm trying to retrieve deleted pictures, so I need the data.

When you plug the phone / tablet to a computer you need to pull down from the top and look for Android System and something to do with USB / click this and choose Media Device or file transfer the PC should reconnect and make a sound. Now you should see all the folders in Internal storage and External storage (if you have a sdcard in the device)
make a folder on your pc and copy everything from the device to your pc
I personally use Google photos to keep those backed up and available on all my devices
Amazon Photos works just as well or you can even use both

Yeah I'll be using Google Photos from now on, it's just a bummer since I lost some pics I really cared about
Anyway, I've tried to copy, but I get an Unspecified Error
I don't understand
Edit: Ok, apparently the only folders I cannot copy are the Whatsapp and Android folders. I think I can just ignore them, since all the cached pics I want to recover are stored in the CloudDrive folder.
So, back to the root.
Is Kingo REALLY that malicious? I don't wanna risk any permanent damage on my phone (Android version 5.1)
And about TWRP: I got the app installed, but my device (CUN-L01) is not listed
kingo is not open source and when it and roots your phone it install some other bloatware app as well .As long as it's capable of rooting your phone go ahead and use it but make sure you to get rid of it after the diskdigger work is over
so yes something you may want to try
backup all your data photos call logs SMS etc , install kingo root app and get root { , if you want to keep permanent root then and at this stage you can download and install TWRP directly as a rooted user without going through the long drawn procedure of fast booting & once you have TWRP installed then replace your kingo app with your favourite root app and throw out kingo }
, do your diskdigger work and then un install kingo root app
there is a desktop and Android version both . the desktop version is supposed to be more powerful make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over also make sure that you are downloading the correct kingoapp because there are some of other 'viral' versions , that may install undesirable bloatware but will not roat
diskdigger alternative is phone paw you may want to try that as well I don't think that needs root it's PC based photo recovery software

If you put it that way, Kingo looks less meancing.
I'm not interested in a constantly rooted phone, just need it temporarily, so...
Sorry if I ask, but any of you have a reliable download link for Kingo? I really have no idea where should I look for a "safe" version.
Also, what do you mean by "make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over" ? Uninstalling Kingo is not enough?
there is a king root and there is the kingo root and I have not used both this crapwares for quite a long time I used them when I was on 4.x and rather new to this Android cynogen factory. At that time TWRP was a bit new and not every phone had a TWRP.
so I think I probably referred to kingroot and not kingo root
https://kingrootapp.net/
don't recollect but either or both of these apps also install some other bloatware apps that pretended to save your battery and show you how faster phone is charging ...whatever
uninstall all the apps that were installed after your 'root work' is over

The link you sent me redirects me to a certain Aptoide app
That's a good start :good:
Ok so, I'm not downloading anything from that link
Also, I keep reading awful things about this root method. Like it sends your email to some shady companies and such. I'm not even sure it will work with my phone, it may brick it.
So, I'll stick with TWRP
Can someone guide me?
Bump

First step unlock the bootload, on Huawei It's a pay service, check eBay or
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Second step you need a patched boot.img made with magisk. Most times you can get the stock boot.img from an OTA update.zip
Copy it to the phone and use magisk manager to install (patch) the stock file.
Now you copy the patched file to your PC fastboot folder.
Third and last step is to fastboot flash the patched boot img
The command is
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Reboot and you have a rooted device

Here is how to do it
First things first, never use one click root apps! they install spyware and stuff, and they achieve root access in your phone by using vulnerabilities. The proper way to root it is the one by which you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery like twrp, I found a post here https://techelucid.com/root-huawei-y5-ii/ ,follow it and try to use magisk instead of supersu, its more updated and can hide your root access, you can use supersu it work too but some apps won't work with root access enabled, magisk can hide this. Both can give you root access

well it sounded like this person just wanted a one shot one time root and out method which is why I suggested King root if it works. afterwards all that crapwhere can be deleted.
the other option was also mentioned that is TWRP and magisk .bootloader unlocking need not always be paid service lot of things allowed here on how to unlock bootloader but first we have to make sure if his bootloader is locked or unlocked.
turn on developer settings and oem unlock switch if that is present that mean the bootloader is unlocked and in fact this step of buying a service to unlock bootloader is redundant
I was trying to keep the thread as simple as possible without going into the depth of all the under the hood methods but sound like after all ,all the mechanics have opened up the hood and now we are getting to the engine
whatever works .....it sounds like he's getting good help so wish him good luck

Can somebody help me out?
