Hello, ive got some Problems with my ne Xcover3
Because the builtin SAP Profile is not working with my cars telephone unit (Premium Volkswagen)
i want to use the app "android-rsap" but there is root needed.
No idea how to get it without bricking the phone.
So it would be very nice to get help by experienced peolpe like you
Thanks ahead
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I can't find anything on XDA on how to root that specific device. but it looks like you can copy the latest SuperSU.zip to your phone and then flash it in recovery. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you, but if i understand SuperSU right, the phone must be rooted first?
iam a bit confused
also i think the knox Trigger will be hit?
To use the SuperSU app you need to be rooted. The zip file you flash in recovery. I don't know if it'll trip knox but I'm guessing, yes.
ok i will life with that, so let me tell you my following Actions:
i download: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
put it to my sdcard and reboot in save mode (pressing 3 home on and volume up)
but what to to next? and is the device rooted after that?
sorry but iam not familar with android
I don't know your device and I can't find any information on XDA about it, but can you boot into recovery and find where it allows you to install a zip from the sdcard? You'd need to do that.
in the menü there is a Point:
"update from external device" i can navigate in the folders
but i can´t select the zip file (i put it to the root of the Card)
or should it be extracted?
thank you
Root (sm-g388f)
I would also like root rights on this unit ...
I've done over the recovery flash su version 1.8x but after the start I had the phone off third-party applications with the message "Safe Mode" and it could not be repaired other than by re-recording the original ROM
The question is jerstli version 2.46 or 2.49 beta version can handle it
I will be glad for the advice
... I am sorry for my bad English
i just started 2.46 now i see the andriod logo and downloading ....
do not disconnect usb cable
during the Software update
i think this is showing since 5 minutes nothing happens
do i have a brick now?
My own opinion ... I would have left it until the spawn either error messages or will Torch: D
EDIT: But let me know if you succeeded or not .. or what it's done
phone and Akku are quite warm
but no Change on the Screen
how Long should this Action usually take?
please reply from somebody who did such a update already?
i interupted the process
phone is starting, no root
and biggest Problem so far recovery menue not acessable
allways try to Flash die zipfile
but i allready removed it from the sdcard, so i think its in a Cache?
any idea how to fix that?
ok iam a bit stupid
power + home + vol up = recovery menu
power + home + vol down = flashing from external source?
so no Problem right now but no root
We're going to have to leave it to someone smarter ... or I do not know stim board ... I think you need to unlock the bootloader and perhaps ?? something ??
Hi guys. This thread has gone beyond the scope of XDA Assist so I'm going to ask that it be moved here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help Others with your device may see it and be able to help you
ok thank you, hope this will help
somebody sugested to install first twrp and with twrp it should be able to Flash the su.zip
but as my googleing tells me it must be a specific Version of twrp for the xcover 3 but nothing to find right now
any ideas
I'm not sure but maybe it was a flash from another phone with the same hardware but I do not understand. I calmly tried but we have to order the phone has the same or at least similar specifications
:cyclops:
you are right i think the last galaxy neo is quit similar
Do you mean this model? SAMSUNG GALAXY NEO i9060
Or send what you think
the Galaxy J1 4G nearly got the same specs , same board same cpu .. different ram and camera
but its also not rootable ;(

How did you update to 4.0.4 and root it?
I looked on the Chinese forums and people are saying updating it will brick your device so I'm afraid of updating it
any ideas on how to update it without bricking it?

Maybe.. i'm lucky..
I'd update by standard recovery... with the update in gadmei web site.
I'd flash it 2 times because for root the device with a wrong software i'd half brick it...

I also have this tablet, bought it on Sunday. I updated the software to the 1026 the otherday, update went as planed. It was only the 1011 (or something like that) that was bricking their tablets.
Tablet seems ok to appart from 2 big problems 1st is the wifi is really weak on mine, i need to use a mini usb to ethernet adapter to get online reliably.
2nd problem is I dont seem to be able to download anything from the play maket, I keep getting 101 download errors.
I have read that clearing the market cache, data and from google services framework and logging out from accounts on the tablet and restarting and hard reseting should clear the problem but it dosent.
Anyone else having google play problems or is it just me
The tablet seems to be recognised by google play as its in my list of devices along with my ZTE blade which still has the ability to download apps.
Thanks for any help.
Mark.
Play store working now. Rooted too using root_by_hewuqiku.zip.
Anyone know of anyone making ROMs for this tablet?

Good question, i would be happy to find somebody.. The original ICS is not that good ported. I use MyAudio 808DCC (what is the same tab with different brand name) with Gadmei ROM.
This tablet is also sold as "iToos i8". On their forum it was said 4.1 is in beta stage but not stable yet. It's not expected to be released this year (remember chinese new year begins in february).
But some custom ROM would be nice. Btw. does anybody else here have problems that the E8HD won't wake up after standby and just stay with black screen? I have to force it to shut down by pressing the powerswitch for about 10 seconds and hear some noise from speaker, then it will reboot fine.

If you have 4.0.4 ROM the simplest way is to use the attched 870s2-root.zip file (it is for Mediacom 870S2 which is a rebranded Gadmei):
1. Copy 870s2-root.zip on the root of your SD card (DO NOT extract, just copy)
2. Insert SD in your tablet then boot up by pressing Volume UP + power buttons to enter recovery
3. Wait until the recovery menu appear, then using Volume-Up and Volume-Down buttons to scroll the menu and power to enter, select "install patch from SD card" or something like that
4. You will see files list on SD card, again using volume and power buttons, select 870s2-root.zip file
5. Patch will be applied in few seconds
6. Now select "reboot" item.
Now your tablet is rooted but you need super user tool to take advantage of that.
Go to Play Store and search for "Superuser" or "SuperSu" or other tools like them, install it and you'll have a fully rooted gear.

Thank You very much. Instructions encouraged me, so I rooted with "hewuqiku.zip" by the same system. Now is rooted, no problem, everything works well. I can install app that require root.

First post so be gentle.
My Gedmei E8-hd was a bit of an impulse purchase, and it would appear from what I have researched that this may have been a mistake.
My main issue is not being able to maintain a stable wifi connection, which is obviously a major requirement for any tablet. Although, I have read devices being bricked with certain hardware/firmware combinations I have given both the latest official and the rooted version above a go. My problem is I get to the menu, choose update from sd card option, choose the file, but shortly after the update fails to run and Mr Android falls over.
Has anybody had this issue or know a reason why this would occur. In any event, would the firmware make any difference to the wifi issue?
The battery icon on my E8hd has become permanently stuck at 100%, is there a way to refresh it or clear the battery stats?
Also I see there is a newer 1128 ROM out (im on 1026). The method of instalation seems a bit strange to me. What is step 1 for?
升级方法：
（1）首先用一张TF卡来制作启动卡。启动卡制作方式 Link removed
（2）再将下载的固件包减压，将减压后的文件放到TF卡的根目录，把卡插入你的平板电脑。
（3）关掉平板（MID）后，先按住音量“+”键或者“-”键不放手，再长按“电源键”开机，等到出现“GADMEI"LOGO时，再放开POWER键大概几秒后再放开“+”键或者“-”键，系统将自动进入升级模式，升级完成后会自动重启。

Upgrade method:
(1) First, to make a boot with a TF card card. Start card making: link removed
(2) and then download the firmware package decompression after decompression of files into the root directory of the TF card, insert the card into your Tablet PC.
(3) turn off the tablet (MID), first press and hold the volume "+" key or the "-" key is not to let go, and then long press the power button to boot, until "GADMEI" LOGO appears, then release the POWER button probably a few seconds and then release the "+" key or the "-" key, the system will automatically enter the upgrade mode will automatically reboot after the upgrade is complete.

I would agree that the wifi isnt that good, its not that bad either. If you are using WEP encryption then you stand no chance of getting a good wifi signal. If you have the choice then go with a WPA2psk encryption, it works so much better with the E8.
Im not 100% sure about the firmware affecting the wifi but I would say it does (correct me if im wrong), on my ZTE blade the wifi was quite bad with the stock Orange rom but its really good with just about any developers ROM.
As for the E8 i dont know if either of the updated roms from Gadmei have any wifi fixes/improvements included in them.

I did try to decompress the zip file but will try again and see if it works this time.
I downloaded that File in step 1 and read the word doc in there, as far as I can tell it seems to be formating the sd card as FAT32, whats the point of this as my card is allready FAT32, or is this step doing something else?
It seems a really strange thing to be doing when to install the last 1026 or whatever you just had to copy the rom zip to the sdcard like I do with my ZTE balde and install from there.
Has anyone installed 1128? how did you do it?
I installed ROM 1128 and it was a very simple job:
1. Download ROM file from the link i reported in previous post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35722947&postcount=12
2. Extract files to SD; no folder, following files should be present on SD root: aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml, g11refE8-ota-eng.bestidear.zip, patch_gadmei_e8t3cn.zip, u-boot.bin, uImage, uImage_recovery.
3. Reboot in recovery mode and installation will go on automatically
After installation completed, you should root your device again; you can do it with simple procedure I reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35936767&postcount=14
Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)
jelly blast no service fix

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.
Hello xda.
First of all I want to applogise for individual thread, but I'm desperate because I think I f**ked my phone..
The problem is that the phone doesnt want to connect to USB anymore..
I'll try to explain how I get there.
I rooted my phone. I did it like this : watch?v=wLQ51Pg77q4
All good till here.
Then I wanted to install Galaxy S4 Weather Widget Tried it like thid dude - /watch?v=pCeBOz8bxlc
I downloaded Astro File Manager and Solid Explorer trying to replace the Weather Widget.
Astro couldn't delete or replace those files and I finally managed to delete them with Solid Explorer one by one ( couldn't delete all of them together ) and copied the S4 Weather Widget ones.
The problems started when i restarted my phone. When I added the widget the screen started to flicker.. couldn't to anything about it so I decided to install the original firmware 4,1,2 JB.
I downloaded it from the internet and installed with odin what I tought it would be the original JB 4,1,2 for S2 like it stated in the description but I don't think it was the original one.. ( exact same kernel as I had - I bought the phone with 4,1,2 JB installed )
Sinced I managed to fix my phone ( I tought that way ) I rooted again and installed Titanium Backup.. and deleted ChatOn.. ( I wanted to delete all unnecessary apps )
After reboot the phone couldnt boot.
I flashed again the firmware I found on the internet and wanted this time to only install Galaxy S4 Weather Widget and nothing else ( except games and "normal" apps )
I could't do it again and I gave up.. and tought that if I go to Settings > Factory Reset and reset the phone I will have it clean and I'll stop installing things I couldnt do..
But..now the phone does not recognize anymore USB Cable and i have some serious bugs, like the phones sometimes charges when i connect charger... sometimes it does not.. the battery % drops from 99 % to 87 % very very fast..
To make the long story short I want to install the original JB 4,1,2 for Galaxy S2 but I can't do it because my phone charges sometimes when i connect it to USB but it doesn't 'see' it and I can't hear that sound that PC used to do when I connected the phone and the USB cable ( USB Debugging turned on ).
Pleaseeee helllppppp
my usb port is dying too. phone keeps flipping between car mode and normal charging at like 20 times in a second when sometimes it goes out of its mind,
Q.was this s4 weather widget caper worth making your phone unuseable.
Is it worth someone telling you how to resurrect your phone.....as my guess is your only going to muck it up again by attempt no.3 at that weather widget install.

Q. Does it help you to feel better to be like that ?
I need help to "ressurect" my phone, do you think I'll even download S4 lockscreen from android market if I'll make it work properly ?
But i agree to your message in this post, I was stupid and acted like a child and now i suffer the consequences....
If somebody knows how to fix this pleaseeeee posttttt
So nobody seems to know even on this high-rated forum...
I'm f**ked
try to use a NukeCleaner and flash a custom Rom or stock rom, I prefer Custom rom since it is more updated and has more features
As @KingOfDope said, nuke your phone clean using hawkerpauls script, and i recommend flashing a stock firmware with odin and NOT root it until you have some more knowledge of this stuff... And if you do flash a custom rom, do not ever delete your system files, just freeze chaton if you hate it, and don't take youtube videos as legit instructions, if you want a GS4 weather widget, search in xda and read the whole thread.
Can one of you help me with NukeCleaner pleaseeee ?

I've answered your private message, but i guess i should start a thread with instructions, too many people asking this lately because they don't want to read the thread...
#HarlemShake: okey, so download all the file i just said (rom.zip, gapps.zip, cwm.zip)
#HarlemShake: power off your device
#HarlemShake: hold volume up + power button and home button till you are on the recovery mode
#HarlemShake: choose, install a zip, and choose cwm.zip
#HarlemShake: and when you are on clockwork recovery mode, install a zip again and choose this time the rom.zip and than gapps.zip when you are done, go back to home menu and choose format data, and you are done. reboot and wait (the first boot will take awhile)
Kindofdope helped me and told me to do this in order to "unf**k" my phone.
Cant do that.
When im in recovery mode i only have:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apple update from external storage
wide data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you.

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I have a Allwinner A31 table to be precise ubonton u705a
I have tried adb but it just says [waiting for device] so I guess ADB does not work.
I don't know anything about bootloaders it had an option of fastbooting in the power menus if that means anything sorry for my lack of description Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck

Glad I could help, you too!
Hello,
Please help!... I am unable to use my phone after doing something that maybe I shouldn't have done!!
First let me go through some steps that led to the phone becoming unusable.
1) First I successfully rooted the phone (using instructions off the net)
2) I tested the rooting by clicking on the SuperSU App and granting the necessary permissions.
3) Next I downloaded the Titanium Backup and successfully backed up my phone
4) Then I decided to go back into the SuperSU (just to see what kind of things I could do with the superuserApp)... and a POP-UP Window appeared. Now I really can't remember the exact message but it basically was asking me if I wanted to perform some sort of conversion. Without giving it too much thought and like an idiot I just clicked on YES. The phone then rebooted and remained STUCK on the screen where the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" message flashes up with a yellow triangle exclamation mark below (please see attached pic). It doesn't matter how long I wait or how many times I reboot the phone remains stuck on this screen.
Please note the following:
-- If I press (Volume Up + Home button + Power button) simultaneously the same screen appears (ie the Samsung Galaxy message) however long I keep the buttons pressed.
-- If I press (Volume Down + Home button + Power button) I get something different happening ie A warning message about custom OS (see attached pic) and when I press the Volume Up button to continue I get the screen with the Android symbol and the word downloading below it with some ODIN Mode information at the top of the screen (see attached pic).
I'm praying AND got my fingers arms & legs crossed that I haven't "bricked" the phone!!
Please please help!... I would really appreciate your assistance in getting my phone working again (if it's at all possible now).
Oh and apologies if I have posted in the wrong area.
Many thanks in advance.
Kieron
@Kieron139 as far as I know you have done something to your system which doesnt allows it to fully boot aka soft brick. The yellow triangle is just an download counter a bit. But you can reset that but I only did that when I sold it, triangle is cool.
What you can try is to download Odin on pc, follow odin guide in general I believe for the s2 and flash back to stock.
Tip: dont turn off your phone if download mode failed, just reconnect the cable.
@wulsic ... many thanks for the quick reply!
I have the ODIN program, I used it (with the appropriate jar file) when I rooted the phone. However I'm not sure how to flash is back to stock using the odin program, also I'm new to this site so can you tell me where I can find the odin guide explaining how to do this... or if there is a "how to"thread explaining step by step how to flash back to stock?
Kieron
@wulsic... I managed to find step by step instructions to flash back to stock, however as well as the ODIN program it says I need to have a copy of my stock ROM.... but where do I get this from?
@Kieron139 it tooksome timemy tablet hanged but here is a guide,
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-guide-using-odin-de-bloat-root-recover.html
You only need to find the galaxy s2 stock rom from internet and download it, the flash it in pda and see the guide for more details. Make sure you have the s2 firmware not aother one.
Edit: :/ that post timing. But I will find a link for you now.
@Kieron139 here find the s2 firmware from sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com
@wulsic ... that's super! will access the links, download the ROM and let you know how I get on!... but it may take me a little longer than it should as I'm going to take my time and follow the instructions carefully so I don't muck it up lol
@Kieron139 No problem, take the time. Better to do it slowly then bricking your phone. I will respond as fast as I can when you have a question but I can't answer directly maybe when your rom download is done. Goodluck! :good:
@wulsic ... I think I still need your help with identifying the correct stock ROM file. The two links you gave, I couldn't work out how to search for the file in the first one but in the second one when I searched using my model (ie GT-i9100) I got a list of downloads to choose from for different regions. Now I'm based in London UK and the phone is unlocked but was with the Three.co.uk network provider (I'm not sure if this information is relevant but I thought I'd mention it just in case). Anyway I've attached a screen shot of a part of the list that comes up but its not the compete list.
Please note I found another link describing how to flash back to stock and it mentions I need a file called "I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar.md5".
Anyway could you please help me with choosing which firmware file I need to download?
Thanks
@wulsic Ooops forgot to attach the screenshot in prev reply
@Kieron139 in the first one you had to go to firnware, scroll down then enter device.
You dont need the exact android stock version from xwlsw just find a stock one from the 2 sites I provided and then download and flash it. I am trying to find and copy one for you but my tablet keyboard doesnt show up always, lowramdevice.
I see you tagged me again before I could finis typing my message xd.
I suggest to use xwms3 since its the latest stock version and should also work fine with your phone in UK.

Any of the firmwares on the above screenshot should be fine as they all are genuine samsung stock roms for i9100
Download one of them and follow the guide which wulsic posted and you will be fine :good:
@wulsic ...ok will do, and sorry for being a pain! just want to make sure I don't go installing the wrong one
@-shaMe- Thanks
@wulsic Great news!... phones working again! :victory: :good::good::good:
Thank you so much for you help and for your patience!
I now have a working phone again
Best regards
Kieron
@Kieron139 Nice now if you have that problem again you know now how to fix it.
Also an tip for if you start flashing custom roms like cyanogenmod, recovery and kernel are builtin one boot.img so if you flash an recovery for stock but you have cyanogenmod then the rom will not boot anymore. (Cyanogenmod and other custom roms have recovery also builtin their rom.)
If your boot.img is corrupted and recovery/rom doesnt boot anymore then I suggest to flash an recovery with odin instead of reflashing the whole stockrom.
@wulsic ... Thanks for the tip!
Btw I'm still a bit new to this site but how do I "thank" someone for their help?... some sites have a button next to the replies which you can click to say if the reply was helpful, couldn't see anything like that here?
A couple of other quick questions. I'm very happy with my Samsung Galaxy SII but it is frustrating that it no longer receives any software upgrades/improvements. So which custom rom would you recommend? ie is cyanogenmod the best one?... also once a custom rom is installed can the phone still be rooted?
Cheers
K
@wulsic Ignore the "how to thank someone" question in my last message... I wasn't logged in so couldn't see the thanks button!! lol
@wulsic
There's a bunch of custom ROMS mentioned in the link below which will update my phone to android 4.4.4. What do you think of the ROMs and which would you recommend?
