Hei Guys, Good Evening,
Just had a quick question. I recently got a brand new fake "Samsung S8+", it runs on an Mt6580 processor, and android 6.0.1, kernel vs. 3.10.0. I rooted it as soon as it came, with King root no problem. However, once I had root access I went ahead, and deleted the stock browser which I assumed would just trace all my logins and stuff online. This created a myriad of problems: I now get the "Unfortunately X has stopped working" notification for every single app I try to open that needs Internet access. Rendering the Phone close to useless. If anyone has the same phone, could you please upload the apk of the stock browser for me, so I can get my Phone back? Or supply an alternate solution.
Things I've Tried:
1. Turning it on and Off (didn't work)
2. System Restore/Wiping Cash (didn't work)
3. Putting in custom boot loader and installing custom rom (No custom boot loaders work, and 'easy magic twrp' does not recognize my phone as mediatek device)
4. Installing Custom rom using ADB (doesn't work, cant pinpoint the reason)
I have searched the entire Internet, and also tried to make other browsers my stock browsers, nothing works.
Really appreciate your Help,
Jan

I ordered my Kyocera Hydro Icon from Freedompop and got it yesterday. I tried Root Genius, which seemed to work (by which I mean it asks me if I want to give root access to apps that need it, but does not allow user of the "su" command in Terminal Emulator). I then used a root app uninstaller and uninstalled a couple very harmless seeming things that the app said was safe to remove. Various forums said safe to remove. However, after doing that I'm now on a boot loop.
I did a factory reset from the boot menu (hold buttons, go to wipe data, etc.). However, my system still has the same issue and reboots unless I'm in Airplane mode (for the record, many people have reported this, and it's pretty obvious that some company triggers a reboot remotely when they don't like what they see on your phone, and that's why disconnecting prevents reboot). There were some Freedompop apps I uninstalled before, and they are still uninstalled after factory reset. I probably can't even return the phone because the KingoRoot app is installed and I can't remove it. I installed SuperSU, not sure exactly how it works, but it keeps telling me it wants to update and I can't go out of airplane mode to use the Internet.
So, after spending over 24 hours straight on this problem, frustrated the entire time, I found my way here. Though I was skeptical (having had much bad luck so far), I thought maybe a stock ROM would work. However, all links to any kind of ROM for this device on these forums were dead.
My understanding is the source was released for this device here:
tiny url .c om / ppbnlwo (used tinyurl to make it shorter so I could post it; goes to Kyocera Developer Support Downloads)
I'd like to know the following:
1) Will a ROM fix my device, removing Kinguser and all root-related changes I made?
2) Is there a ROM that someone can provide me with (along with instructions hopefully) to help me with this?
Thank you.
Hi!
I'm new on XDA, so I'm sorry if the thread is placed in wrong subforum - if it is, I'm asking mod to move it in more proper place.
I bought Lenovo Lemon 3 - it was advertised as Vibe K5 Plus, but apparently the seller wasn't that reliable as I thought. As far as I know, the differences beetwen these models are little or none, but I have pretty big problems with the phone.
First of all it has some preinstalled software, which isn't in Play Store and some of them I can't even find in the net. The apps I would like to get rid off are KingRoot, MaxxAudio and SecurityIT. I successfully managed to disable MiBrowser - with help of KingRoot tool Purify actually. I tried to disable SecurityIT also, but if I do that I can't enter Settings->Apps. When I try the com.android.settings is stopped and it's not working till i enable SecurityIT again.
Second of all is that process com.android.phone is stopping randomly. Sometimes I click "ok" and I it starts working again. But sometimes it keeps crashing until I restart the phone. Since it's a dual sim phone and I'm using only one sim I thought that maybe this is causing a problem, but inserting second card wouldn't work, so currently I have no idea what is causing the problem. I tried cleaning cache and appdata with no effect. If the process is crashing and somebody will call - the phone restarts itself when I try to answer.
Thirdly it's hot. Even if I'm not doing anything and all apps are off and Im charging the phone it sometimes says that it can't be charged because of too high temperature on battery. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it's too hot too touch and I don't know why.
Oh, and one more thing. Something is installing random software. It looks like every time I open Chrome something is opening new tab and redirecting to PlayStore. I am trying to close these tabs while they're loading, but sometimes it loads too fast. Every morning I uninstall some new app, which is apparently installed by night. And those apps aren't added to my Play Store Account. I have disabled unknown sources, but I can see that phone is checking for updates around 2 a.m - so maybe those apps are from there - but I can't see any possibility to disable auto-updates. I have disabled auto updates in Play Store and I have "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" unchecked. Most of apps I installed from Play Store are games I had on the previous phone so I am sure they're not dangerous. Any ideas to prevent the installation of this unwanted software will be appreciated.
Since I used KingRoot to disable MiBrowser I apparently rooted it, but I was reading that this works only with KingRoot installed and with internet connection. And it's sending some data to China, which is not nice. RootChecker says it's rooted.
Lenovo Launcher it's not great either, I downloaded Lollipop Launcher from store and it works fine, but I had to block Lenovo Launcher from autostart, because it was very irritating and was enabling few times.
I am living in Europe so I was thinking is it possible to put on this phone Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Stock ROM? Or is it this "trashy" like the one I have? I really like specs of the phone and I don't wanna return it, but I don't like the software behavior. Can you tell me what I can do to improve this? I don't care about warranty and I would like to have pure, non trashy Lollipop, so if it is possible somehow I would be glad for any help.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Lenovo Lemon 3 K32C36 > Cyanogenmod 14 - 7.1.1: SUCCESS
Hi
Did not know where to post this, I was not allowed to post in developer forums:
For those unlucky enough to have bought a Lenovo Lemon 3, I offer hope. My daugther's 'Lemon' now runs cyanogenmod 14 near flawlessly.
Here's what finally did it.
1st you have to unlock the bootloader. I found this page, google translated it,
http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t717648-420.html
and near the bottom is this link to a 'one-click bootloader unlocker'
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56376
[All this is similar to the Lenovo unbricking described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/how-to/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
but a lot of that is not what you need now.]
You have to install and run QPST from this on a Windows machine, and the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drivers and the Visual C thing too to set it up.
I fiddled for a while but eventually got QFIL to recognize the Lemon. Keep in mind Win is pickier about USB cables than Linux.
Following instructions carefully, that one click then worked!
I moved back to Linux and adb and did the second part (pasting instructions from the Win .bat file into a root terminal). Sure enough, when I booted into recovery I had TWRP! But it showed no files on the Lemon and said there was no OS there! Nevertheless I was able to boot back into the awful K32C36 system with no problem.
So I went back to adb and did it again, but this time from the info and links on this page - but I did not at that time see the need to root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-lenovo-vibe-k5-t3391100
Beyond all expectation TWRP then booted and all was visible.
I then picked this ROM page because someone had wrote that they had it working on K32C36
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/unofficial-cm14-lenovo-k5-k5-plus-t3478288
to get this
http://moto.shreps.fr/Lenovo Vibe K...cm-14.x/cm-14.1-20161213-UNOFFICIAL-A6020.zip
Then onto SD card with it and pico 7.1.1 gapps
Install with TWRP (after backing up lame old ROM and wiping system, data, cache, as advised).
Long wait during 1st new system boot (I thought it was defeat) -- but comes the little blue man bringing very good Nougat.
Hope someone gets helped here .
I registered my account on this website just to share my awesome experience with Nokia 1.
I am very much thankful to XDA and many other sites whose text assisted me in recovering my mobile.
WARNING: VERY LARGE TEXT BELOW AND ITS JUST MY EXPERIENCE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE TRY TO GET ANY IDEAS FROM IT AND BRICK HIS PHONE
I purchased Nokia 1 (TA-1047). My only objective was to automatically record sound from 8AM to 2 PM. So I started root process (Devmode: OK, boot loader unlock: OK, TWRP flashing and running: OK)
BUT WHAT? TWRP is asking for a password... this was not provided in the guide. I tried blank password... not OK. Then I searched the Internet and learned that if I cancel on password screen and then Wipe data then it will be fine. I did that, then made full backup (ADB), and flashed Magisk (ADB)..OK. Restarted the phone and "bump": Phone told me it failed to decrypt and then it went into TWRP boot-loop.
Then I searched again and found TA-1060 recovery bin (from this site) and stock images. I flashed TA-1060 recovery (at that time I did not know that I could go to Boot-loader from TWRP and wasted like an hour to do it using buttons - Correct method is: power off the phone, connect the usb cable, press power and volume down till you see android logo). After flashing 1060 recovery I was able to reset phone and "voila" Magisk was also there.
Now I installed Schedule Voice Recorder, Team-Viewer Host (to transfer big files remotely), App locker (to lock settings and play store), Autostart and Stay (because recorder was getting closed), Dropbox and Dropsync --- and you can guess what would have happened. My mobile kept closing them randomly even if I made Recorder and AutoStart system app and whitelisted in developer setting and set to NOT optimized battery. So I tried to disable Nokia bloat-wares and damaged the system again. This happened for a few iterations before I realized that the Nokia 1 RAM is not sufficient to handle all these apps and I got an idea to upload earlier android version (Spoiler! Hard-brick is coming).
I searched on internet for similar mobile and found Huawei Y3 2017 with same chipset and configuration, Y5 with same chipset but higher configuration. Downloaded stock rom for both. First tried flashing boot and system from TWRP but failed saying that size was different? Downloaded SP flash tool, somehow passed through drivers issue (this would require another thread ). Tried flashing (with formatting) both Y3 2017 UO00 (which was different chipset but i altered scatter file) and Y5 but it failed on some check error. After that my phone was hard bricked!
Then I downloaded nokia 1 stock firmware but it was bad scatter file (only nvram and nvdata was showing), altered it, format+flash: failed again. Searched on internet and found that if I flash wrong preloader then I am done. I was not sure if I had already done it. I altered the scatter file again to include only preloader and thankfully it showed success but any other rom after it, it failed to flash. Found something like Nokia 3 DA and tried it but also failed.
FINALLY: I found nokia 1 nb0 rom and nb0 extractor, extracted rom using that, flash it and "voila" my phone was back alive. Tried to root but failed (because serial number was not same as before and new number did not work). Then I started iterations by mixing roms from my backup and using my "proinfo.bin" and stock rom my phone revived with my own serial number. BUT, then I flashed stock preloader and lk but everything else from Huawei, it failed with check error and then also refused to format for stock rom. Searched on internet about manual formatting, did that (WARNING: starting from address where preloader ends otherwise you would format your preloader as well) then it was back okay.
Rooted again, copied scheduler in sys-priv, whitelisted, not optimize battery. Also team viewer host (normal settings) and dropbox and sync (normal settings). As a work around I have now scheduled the app to record 24 hours instead of 8AM to 2PM so that it always remain as foreground app. 11 hour testing so far so good.
QUESTION: Can I not upload lesser android version (e.g. 4.4 or 5 or 6)? If I can then how.?
UPDATE: The Recorder is killed by OS again as well as team viewer host (even when recorder apk was in system/priv-app)
Is there any way to keep it always ON?
Or is there any way to installed some previous version of android?

Every Nokia 1 user is facing background app crash problem. Infact Nokia 5 users also. It simply crashes background apps like pressing force close and as of now there is no solution. we have to wait until nokia releases a fix.
By the way which build number are you using?

Maybe you have so many apps in the background, I had Instagram, YouTube and Facebook life in the background and I get rare force closes or I might be lucky I have a Nokia 1 TA-1060

No its an os bug from nokia side. It fails to work as it should after a particular update. Maybe u r not facing coz u have only 3 apps that too light ones from good app makers, google and fb. But if u add some more like any call recorder ( as mentioned by op)u would also face same problem i believe. It doesnt thows a FC but simple kills the app in background and u dont get notified.
UPDATE :- Here is the solution

HELP!!!
My Nokia 1 (TA-1047) was hard bricked and won't turn on. I tried to flash my phone by SP Flashtool but my PC didn't recognize my phone. :crying::crying:
Could you give me the drivers you use and steps to recover my phone. Please help me. Thank u.
I have a Galaxy S III GT-I9300 I bought in 2014. After three years, I downloaded a custom ROM from xda-developers (android 4.3 is all I remember about it) and installed it successfully. It worked alright until one day when I wanted to sell the phone and a customer wanted to buy it on short notice, and I rushed to delete my files from the phone, but I destroyed the Android... I connected it to my laptop and shift-deleted some system files.... since then, the phone is delaying when trying to unlock (if i lock it now and try to unlock it a few times, it opens harder and harder), when I'm using apps it continously shows that some .com processess stopped working, and if I try to turn on the bluetooth, the phone instantly freezes and restarts itself.
I tried reinstalling two original ROMs, (version 4.1.2) successfully, but the data on the phone&the system problems remain the same.
I'd like to know how can I make a hard reset, meaning in deleting all the files&settings as it was brand new, just to clear everything, like clearing CMOS. I also think the recovery mode is damaged and I'd like to fix it somehow (if this is possible). The installation process I did for installing the custom ROM from XDA-devs was long and complicated, I had to do a lot of things... and I just want to get the phone fixed and restore to default (or even to fix bugs on this android version) its android, kernel & everything could be ,,reflashed''.
I'm willing to pay if someone helps me fix the problems and it really works. Thank you!
