Hey people,
I have a big problem and I am a big noob what contains to software, hardware is my thing.
Lets get straight to the point......
I have rooted my device(Kingzone K2) with Kingroot on Android lolipop 5.1.
the first time i tried to root it would not work because my phone had a unknown version of android or something like that, so i reported that to kingroot and a month later they made it possible to root on my device.
now I have rooted my device but I started up my phone and all of a sudden my phone was reset to factory setting.
I thought it would have been a accident with android devicemanager.
And up following I wanted to download apps and stuff but it gave me the error that Android.procces.media was stopped.
And the apps wont download I tried everything to download them, also camera and gallery wont work for the same reason.
So can someone please help me with this problem.......
Thanks.
Hi everyone, I'm facing a severe issue with my Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon variant).
Few days ago I noticed that the screen wasn't auto-rotating anymore, but I tought it was a temporary problem of my ROM (AICP official, latest nightly), so I passed by.
Yesterday I tried to format the phone from recovery and reinstall the ROM, without luck, the rotation wasn't working.
Then I tried to reset to the fastboot ROM (MIUI 7 6.3.17) through Mi Flash, I booted, and... now EVERY sensor has stopped working. Phone doesn't rotate, in cardboard app it doesn't move, brightness does not adjust automatically, screen doesn't turn off during call when putting the phone on the ear, and the compass is not working.
Also, apps like Lux say the value is -1 everytime, apps to re-calibrate the proximity sensor crash at startup, and I have a Settings force close when I enter security options to set up my fingerprint (only in CM13, from the MIUI7 setup I can register my fingerprint)...
So, I unlocked the bootloader then I tried to install MIUI8 but, IMEI was modified and WiFi wasn't working. I installed CM13 and restored NVRAM and everything (apart from the sensors) was working.
Now I re-flashed again with Mi Flash, and I can't SETUP the phone, because WiFi and cellular data are not working, and the phone is matched with my Mi account, and won't activate without login.
How can I fix all this mess? If needed, I can also take apart the phone.
Please, everyone, this is very urgent!
Thank you all in advance, and sorry if there are errors, as I'm writing this quickly.
HELL YEAH!
Ok, everyone, nevermind.
I FIXED IT!
It was the persist image that was corrupted. My bad I tought Mi Flash would reset everything, even persist. But I wasn't right.
I looked into the "flash_all.bat" script and "flash persist" wasn't there. Thanks Xiaomi for the headache.
2 days of searching on Google and I didn't find this thread, and I don't know how this is possible.
Now I just have to understand why this happened totally random.
Everyone that has this problem, refer to the thread up here, works like a charm!
Bye!
Thanks for sharing your solution. I learned something new.
Guys i have the same problem with my Redmi Note 4 when i rooted it successfully its sesor didn't work but after unrooting it again works well. So is there is any way to root the device without sensor fail???

This tip helped me fix my device after an year!!
I recently got a Timmy M20 but it comes with a pesky Trojan virus embedded in the youtube system app (Malware bytes told me). I think the best way to deal with this would be to in install a new ROM. The problem is it's relatively new/uncommon phone and I can't find any resources to help me. Unfortunately as far as I know I can't even root it as it's android 6.0
If anyone has any of the following it would be of great assistance:
Stock ROM for Timmy M20
Custom ROM for TIMMY M20
third party recovery compatible with this phone
advise on viability of porting a ROM from another similar phone(although I think I need the stock ROM to do this?)
Any advice on dealing with this is appreciated. My ultimate goal is to remove the malware but I would also like to install a new ROM for fun/learning.
Specs:
Model: M20
Manufacturer: Timmy
Android Version: 6.0
CPUABI: armeabi-v7ar
Hardware: Mediatec mt6580
Kernel: 3.18.19+

I have the phone and having same problem also. I have searched online for solution but all to no avail. I hope someone here at XDA can truly help out.
No root success
Hi
I'm a complete beginner, prompted by the infuriating malware on my Timmy M20 to try and find a solution.
I've tried Framaroot, didn't work. I've tried downloading Kingoroot to my phone, and also to my laptop and connecting with USB. That didn't work either.
I've subscribed to this thread in the hope that somebody somewhere will solve it.
In the meantime I will keep looking, trying & pestering my techy friends.
I did, however, find a stock Rom - on shareaz.us - downloaded to pc, scanned it for viruses (seems to be clean), so it's there if I need it.
Bump - would also like root guide for timmy m20 pro and timmy m12. Malware installed by default. Not good.
bump!
Same problem here.... got the "stock ROM" from needrom.com. It has even more malware according to Malwarebyte.
Bump - same issue.
I managed to root the phone. Here's what I did (do it at your own risk!)
1 Unlock bootloader.
You need to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking on your phone
Boot the phone into fastboot mode. Switch off. Vol up & power together.
The phone will give you three choices (in very small fonts so maybe magnifying glasses called for)
Middle option should be fastboot
Choose it
On your pc, you need to have installed fastboot. Google if you have not done so.
On pc, command prompt;
fastboot flashing unlock (everything will be wiped; if this does not work, type fastboot help for a list of commands)
boot up the phone by taking out the battery and switch on as normal. Should take a long time. Everything is wiped
2. Install TWRP
get the file recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img google drive 0Bwq1wxJqkB4nbjZzb3huWF9fZ0U (I cannot post links )
boot the phone to fastboot mode as above
fastbbot flash recovery recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img
Once it's done reboot the phone into recovery mode (instead of middle option in fastboot, it's the first option)
You should hopefully have TWRP
3. Install SuperSU
download latest SuperSU zip file
copy to sdcard.
insert sd card
boot phone into TWRP
install superSU.
Hopefully you are done

Forgot to mention. After rooting, I cannot uninstall Youtube and the other malware as it cause instability. I get "Unfortunately youtube has stopped working" error repeatedly.
Still searching for solution.

Thank you for this! I managed to find a solution to prevent the ads from popping up. I use an app called noRootFirewall and it blocks the virus's access to the internet (preventing downloads of ads, etc).
I will try your root solution now, this phone has half decent hardware so it would be good to actually get it running without malware at some point. Maybe try installing Android 5.0 somehow?

Providing (espionage) malware is a "federal offense" in all countries, I suggest we contact the authorities to take appropriate action.
I had the "Tube has stopped working" screen blocker that was driving me crazy. BUT it turned out NOT to be malware.
When I first received the phone, I turned tube OFF, because I do not use it. THAT is the problem. I turned tube back on after a hard reset, and problem solved. And, yes, even doing a hard reset is a PITA, but it can be done even with the screen blocker, if your fingers are nimble enough to (1) hit the OK button on the screen blocker, and (2) immediately hit the "Reboot OK," button on the box under it, during the half-second that the original screen blocker is recycling. It took me about 40 tries, but I no longer have the problem reported above as long as I leave tube "enabled." Hope this help. I was about to process Timmy through the garbage disposal before I figured this out.
Avast reported Triada trojan has downloaded one more module and "gstore" malware, blocking the phone completely until reboot.
I'll trash this phone and ordered one with OTA Android security patch support.
I just had some problems with my M20 Pro too. I've bought the phone in early july 2017 with a software released 2016/10/29. I've checked for updates several times but the system said that this was the most recent version. After 4 weeks trouble started...
First Google started to warn about the youtube app which couldn't be updated from the app store. Deactivating this app lead to a never ending "youtube was stopped" message loop.
A few days later my wifi switched off randomly and full screen ads appeared where they shouldn't have. Time to do a malware scan... I chose the 30-day-trial version of Malwarebytes and it found 5 trojan infected apps (incl. youtube). But without root they couldn't be deactivated or deinstalled.
After a while Malwarebytes reported that a file called fotaupdate.apk was ready to install, so I installed it. I don't know if this file was already present on the system or if Malwarebytes downloaded it. A few seconds after the installation a download of a system update (2016/11/29) started and installed. The malicious youtube app was still present, but it was the only infected app left. Soon a second update (2016/12/05) showed up. This time the system was free of malware after installation. Shortly after a last system update (2017/08/14) arrived and android is pretty up-to-date on my M20 Pro now.
So, before messing around with rooting and firmware flashing, try to get the ota update to work and install the available system updates.
I received the phone today. It has 2016/10/29 firmware installed, with youtube app infected issue
However when I check firmware update, it says that system is already updated.
Is there a way to force the update or to install the newest one manually?
As said by chameo in his post, the latest should be dated 2017/08/14
thank you

For M20 PRO Model.
And this dated firmware ROM may contain latest malware not detectable by virus scanners yet,
be careful.

I wonder if sharing "fotaupdate.apk" file by Chameo could unlock updates on our devices. If possible, we should give a try.

NO, not from untrusted sources, has the package been verified or has s/he "unknown sources" enabled?
Besides the TIMMY M20 PRO is a completely different model, this package may brick the M20.
@woprr
Wow, that's the pessemistic view of life, eh? With the 2016/10/29 stock software version for the M20 Pro we are already stuck with a malware infected system. It can only get better.... not all of us are fond of flashing firmwares with adb, fiddeling around with command lines or rooting devices with TWRP.
Maybe you have noticed that already the software from 2016/12/05 was malware-free. If there had been malware it would have been discovered within half a year, I guess. But yes, there's always some risk left...
By the way, I doubt that any manufacturer in this highly competitive market can afford to release malware infected software all of the time.
You are right, the M20 and M20 Pro are different models with different firmwares. I've posted my experience in this thread because there are also some M20 Pro owners here, searching for a solution for their problems.
I've found a fotaupdate.apk on a SD card I've used with my M20 Pro some time ago. I've sent it to cinxda to try if it works. We'll see...
Hi, this is my first time posting on xda forum, so if my post has some problems, I'd be delighted to correct.
So, I bought the Huawei Honor Pad 2 tablet about a year ago, and about last month it asked me to upgrade the system, and after the upgradation, the wifi icon becomes greyed out and I'm unable to turn it on. I tried to factory reset and wipe its cache partition but still no luck.
I dont know whether to flash its firmware would solve the problem but a few sites I stumbled upon, none of the links works(e.g. huawei-firmware rom links for my tablet model number don't work)
Some searches suggested it could be my hardwares malfunctioning, but since the wlan option greyed out problem only occurred immediately after the system update, I wonder if reflashing a new rom would work.
So I have run out of ideas, also I could not find honor pad 2 on the official huawei website, nor on xda forum, it mostly gives me mediapad as a result, but they seem different on pictures.
And some specs about my tablet:
Model: JDN-W09
Build Number: JDN-W09C233B023
EMUI Version: 4.0.3 (can't remember the original version but this is the one I got after that horrible system update)
Any helps are greatly appreciated!

uuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhh
Hi,
I had the same update,and we have the same specs,but tell me please how did you manage to get google play and all other google things to work?Maybe its because you are rooted?
It seems we are the only ones that we have this tablet,cos i can't find anything about rooting it or solve the google play problem without rooting.The worst thing is that nobodys bothering to make a post about it cos maybe the tab had been bought by a few people.
I don't have your problem,mine is working ok but my problem is way greater.I have done cache clears,download and intstall google services several times and some other tricks that i found on the net but nothing seems to work.
One click rooting methods:none of them work!
The οnly sure thing that we both need is a guide of how we are going to update the firmware to an earlier version(stock firmware)
Here on XDA i found only guides for phones of honor or tabs like media pad m2 that they seem to be similar but yet...i'm not sure.
I hope someone will take the time to answer on your post and our problems with this awesome tab!
I have also upgraded my Honor Pad 2 JDN-AL00 model to EMUI 4.0.3 B023 latest firmware and faced similar issues of Google apps not able to run anymore. I have tried to rollback the update by reflashing with older firmware versions. The update process shows success but when I boot up the set it still shows B023.
After researching the net, I think the problem could be because the older firmwares found in huawei-firmware.com are all OTA which means they are incremental updates. To fully rollback to earlier versions, I think we need Full OTA firmware. So far the only one that I can find on the net is B018 version. It’s abt 1.7GB. I have not gotten down to test out my theory. If you’re keen you can give it a shot and let everyone here know if it works...
Hi people, I don't know where to ask anymore. Sorry in advance for my english.
I have a serious problem with my P9 Lite VNS L21. It is no brand, as far as I know.
Everything started when I updated to EMUI 5.0 Android 7.0. (I know nothing about this stuff)
I started to have some bugs like: I couldn't turn on bluetooth, I couldn't open settings cause they always crash, and stuff like this.
So what I decided to do, hope I can turn back, was to install a custom ROM.
What I found was the Lineage 14, but the EliteKernel was required. And so on, I flashed it.
After that, bugs were becoming more and more annoying: I didn't even have the keyboard anymore.
So I did a factory reset.
Than, I was in an infinite loop in the first Wizard Setup. It was always restarting after I logged in into my google account and whatever I would press between Inizitialize a new phone or Restore from backup, it always went back.
After, I downloaded a new firmware to restore everything back and now.. nothing works. Always in black screen, I can't go into recovery, I can't fastboot, I can't even use dload.
I tried to remove battery and put it back, but it didn't work.
Sorry for the wall of text but I thought it was better to explain everything.
Thanks in advance.
