Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the proper section to post my queries, but please bear with me.. I just registered last week.
Alright, I have some inquiries regarding the phone and all its stuff. I'm planning to buy Xperia X10 Mini and it will be the first time that I'll be using an Android-run device.
I have quite knowledge on iOS since I have an iPod Touch, so almost everything that I read here are jargons for me. I'm not that noob in terms of technical comprehension, though I don't consider myself as an advanced user, perhaps just an average hobbyist. So let me start folks.
1. I'm confused between having the X10 Mini or the X8, which is which? Any suggestions?
2. When you say "rooting" or "rooted", is it the counterpart of "jailbreaking" in iOS?
3. What will happen to my warranty if my mini is rooted?
4. Will this "rooting" thingy brick my mini? (should I failed)
5. What is xRecovery? I'm seeing a lot of those in this forum.
6. What's JiT overclock?
I'm trying to think other questions, but I guess I have to buy first that phone. So hopefully anyone can provide me advices, thanks in advance guys.
Still no replies after several days. So sad, felt like outcasted in this forum.
Sorry, but common sense would say to you to use search button just up here... On every of those questions you would find plenty of answers.
And your first question must be joke right? You couldn't even type X10 mini and X8 to google?
I am normaly not like that, but this was just too much for me And you even complain...

1. Check Settings -> About Phone -> Model Number
2. YES
3. No Idea (You could always argue an app from the market did something if you need to claim)
4. NO
5. Allows Backup/Restore options of your entire Phone memory and installation of custom roms/themes as well as more advanced features including being able to replace protected files whilst they are not being used (During boot)
6. Speeds up performance using JIT enabled files (Tried and tested)
BTW: The search or google options are indeed a good place to start for answers, I only replied because I had nothing better to do!!! LOL
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for being too lazy to do research here in this forum. Well, this is not the most organized forum that i've been to.. a lot of topics that are cluttered. Besides im new to this android stuff. Anyway...
Yow Kabayan,
1. I'm confused between having the X10 Mini or the X8, which is which? Any suggestions?
x10mini is the small black device with small screen and builtin battery, x8 is the white device which is in middle of x10 and x10mini. though its price point is way lower than x10mini.
2. When you say "rooting" or "rooted", is it the counterpart of "jailbreaking" in iOS?
its like jail breaking but without the caveat of warranty issue. since android is an open os(if I am not mistaken)
3. What will happen to my warranty if my mini is rooted?
nothing. as long as it still working. you could re-install the rom using SEUS anyway.
4. Will this "rooting" thingy brick my mini? (should I failed)
root access is granted by using installed application, which does not affect the over all usability of the phone, though ROM modification is more likely to destroy your phone than rooting it. though rooting is required before you could install custom rom.
5. What is xRecovery? I'm seeing a lot of those in this forum.
it is a boot application which enable you to recover your phone(if only you have the image before hand), or install a custom rom to your phone(which is like recovering your phone, but instead using rom from different devices or custom made by other user/developer.
6. What's JiT overclock?
it is a new dalvik implementation stuff, which is an experimental, under-development or ongoing development for application optimization/runtime, which compile the application to native machine language. means faster games and application.
overclock is different - its more of increasing your device CPU hz.
I might be wrong on some point, but that is currently how I know the android, Im using x10 mini. my first android. though rooted, jitted, link2sd, I still haven't tried custom rom.

Maraming salamat kabayan!
Actually prior to your reply, I have already rooted my mini, with APP2SD + DC2SD and xRecovery.. I haven't tried the Jit stuff though, I'll still study how to do that. It's so hard to get direct answers in this forum so most of the time, I'm doing my own research. (unlike other forums that I've been to, though it's for iOS or PSP stuff)
So you are implying that custom roms are not that safe? Did I understand it right?
By the way, can you teach me how to customize the screens? Sorry I'm just totally new to this Android world, perhaps we could just PM each other?

I pressed by mistake a button in the app "boot into download mode'
and now the only thing appear on screen "no usb connected"
can you help me please?
Successfully rooted
Thanks so much!! I have successfully rooted my asus-ME172V-WW_user_4.5.4.52875837_20140520 (latest firmware). I was just wondering if the custom AMPC rom would also be updated to support this firmware. But yet again thanks for your hard work.

For now no.
But maybe in the future when I have time again. since its a long process (Asus have changed the system a lot)
I would just use Xposed framework (make sure to read up on it before use)

Yeah, managed to get Xposed Framework to work fine(nice tweaks and all).
But just asking, would the custom rom affect the performance of the tablet in any way?? Cuz its kinna laggy and after all, its a single core processor. XD
its safe root me172v
well it's safe root this tablet?
What link do I use
Hi I'm new to rooting and xda, and I wanted to know which link is for the latest firmware.
Stuck at loading when trying to root newest firmware
I was elated to find out that you have released an update to the root util of the newest firmware, however, after restarting the phone with all the correct files, it hangs on loading at start up. I read another person's reply that he had successfully rooted the newest firmware with the Me172vRootUtil_v0.3 package.
Is there any additional risk involved in rooting with that package or should I wait for a fix to the newest root toolkit instead?
Bricked`?
Hi gyes..
I did just buy a Asus Memo Pad used real cheap.
And i did it becouse it looked bricked and wanted to see if i could unbrick it.
I have been reading here and there and im wondering.
Do i have to use an micro SD card?
Can i use a regular micro USB to connect to computer?
And is there a way after you see the pictures i have posted if it is in any way possible to unbrick it?
If not. then hey. i lost alitle bit money.
If yes. can you please guide me to the correct tread (if you know it)?
The picture with the asus logo is what it looks like in startup.
After a long while the other picture is how the screen looks like.
Edit.
I fixed it.
I found a restore and did put it on a SD card. Then everything went splendid.
After i wanted to try to install a new recovery on it. So i did the steps required to install a new one.
But under bootload the computer did not see the tablet. So im stuck at bootloader right now.
So if anyone know how to get out of it. PLEASE share.
I will uppdate this post ion how things go along.
Is it possible to use the 8GB dumps on a 16GB model? Will it break?
Kitkat support
Hi I'm thinking of buying this tablet, was wondering what is the latest Android version for the tablet? Is it 4.1 Jellybean?
HELP!!!
I bought my first android tablet and its a me172v 16gb but it has no basic apps, not even google play store. It has a lot of test apps like battery testsuite and touch test. The build says asus-ME172V_WW_eng-4.5.4.12334547_20130205 test-keys. I have been searching all day but do not know how to just restore this to default factory version or anything that will provide me with google play store.. PLEASE someone help me or point me in the right direction.
Heyy Crazykiddo, sorry to bother you. Ive been really keen when the AMPC Rom would be updated to support the new firmware. Ive been checking the thread frequently and just so if you happen to want to update it, please keep me posted. Youre the only guy i know who has done the root for this device. Im pretty attached to this device, haha
My Asus MeMo Pad 7 (ME172V) turns on by itself, very annoying
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this Android thing, I'm more of an iPad guy but I thought I could give this little thing a try in order to get more up close and personal with an Android tablet. I got that thing from a friend, and he said that it works fine but there is a catch. Whenever the thing is sleeping, it will wake up all of a sudden for no reason at all, then go back to sleep after 10 seconds, then eventually wake again, and so on. When the tablet is connected to a wall outlet or a USB port, it won't wake up like this.
Do you guys have a suggestion? This is driving me nuts.
Here's a video of the said behavior:
Hello Guy's,
I'm new here, That being said I am at a stand still. I have a Mlais M9 rooted good to go!, Takee 1 on the way (4.2 Easy root job) and my main phone is an Mstar M1 Pro (Crazy awesome phone for $130) Problem is nothing seems to root the thing (iRoot, Kingroot, Kingo Root, Framroot +). I'm not looking to flash custom roms or other advanced stuff, I just want root access for some fun gaming and apps. I saw one other thread on here, that no one ever responded to... Poor guy. If any other person on earth has bought this phone, and by chance rooted it your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sorry, can't help with that , but can you tell me about your mstar? I have only just started to notice ads for it - looks nice and specs great too (if genuine , and mediatek owns mstar, so would like to think they are and that 5.0 works properly) .
Can't find any genuine hands-on reviews , only cut and paste jobs from people regurgitating the specs sheet (and other people's cut and pastes ! ) So , any good , do you think ?
P.s. How many phones ?!
mstar m1 pro root.

Hi,
I have the same phone, great and fast device but i'm also not able to root it.
I found this,
"MStar S700, M1, M1pro, MLais M4note, M7 also root by the same method.
that is SuperSU2.49.zip through Carliv recovery.
I have S700 and M1 pro, Use all method from M4note that you can found in needrom.com (Special for only M1-M1pro, we can push custom recovery in fastboot mode)"
Maybe this can help?
let me know

i,ve just bought a mstar m1 pro,it will turn on,but there is no response fron the touchscreen,have done a soft and a hard reset? any help
Please help.
Have tried emailing mstar support, but no reply.
Do mstar provide support?
:crying:
I root mine today with king root. First I open an app call stabilitytest then i press home and open king root and start the rooting process. When the % is at 30 i long press home to go to stabilitytest app and start the the test (the first on the list). Then I return to king root by long press the home button. It work after the third try.
I have also rooted Mstar M1 Pro a week ago with KingRoot. I had a bit different experience, roughly like this:
- enable USB debugging (Settings. Developer options) and installing from unknown sources (Settings, Security)
- download latest KingRoot APK from their website http://www.kingroot.net/ (Download for Android)
- install KingRoot
- run KingRoot .. it will run for a while, than will restart the phone
- when phone restarts you'll get nothing new, no msgs or notifications, so I've run KingRoot again
- it will run for a while, and will FAIL - but ignore that, and click "try again" or something like that
- let it run for a while, and it will root the phone finally
I had similar experience with few more phones. Basically, try 3-4 times, if it reboots - try again, if it fails - try again, if it says it does not have a profile for your phone - try again. Somehow, after 1-3 retries (depending on a phone and my luck) I've rooted 4 phones with KingRoot in the same weekend, each a different model. And like I've already said - my Mstar M1 Pro was one of them.
details about my phone:
- M1 Pro
- Android 5.0
- Baseband MOLY.LR9.W1423.MD.LWTG.MP.V20.P2 (2015/06/15)
- Kernel 3.10.61 (2015/08/06)
- Build c218v13_jbl_hd_3m_mstar_20150806
- Custom build version ALPS.L0.MP6.V3.8_EVEN6752.LWT.L
Hi all. First of all i would just like to say that i very much appreciate all you guys do here, helping us noobs flash, upgrade and unbrick our phones
I have a rebranded inew V7 phone called NOA H4 in my country. I'm pleased with the phone. It's nicely built, robust, has plenty of storage, dual sim, ... One thing i miss is the led notification. But i can live with that.
Recently i got fed up with it's software, Android 4.4.2 and i started to look how i can change it. I found some guides and tried but no luck. I was only lucky not to brick my phone
I have some questions:
1. Is it at all possible to flash this phone so it has Android 5 (or 6)??
2. Are the Android 5 roms i found on the web real Android 5 or a modified Android 4?
3. If 1. and 2. are yes, will this http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938 help me to do this by myself??
4. Is there someone who already did this and is willing to share :highfive: ( i found that some member "did this" but he has not given a link to download the rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/inew-v7-owners-thread-t3036891/page3)
Ty very much.
No one? :crying:
Hi there . I managed to get CM12 android 5.1 using Celuk from Turkdevs rom and recovery. I put a guide together with all files. PM if you want to give it ago . I will upload .
Hi, i'm the owner of an Oppo Rx17 neo, and the phone is really nice: Fingerprint sensor under screen, 128gb ROM, 4gb RAM... Overall a good phone, but the only problem is Color OS. I buyed this phone because i didn't knew about Color OS (My bad). Now i'm stuck with this phone for at least two or three years, there's no other choice but keep it. Knowing this, i want to develop a custom ROM for this phone, even if i have to learn from scratch, because i don't know anything about Android Development. I'm a web developer (PHP, JavaScript, a little bit of python and C#), but i don't know where to start this journey, because for what someone told me on a Telegram group, i need a custom recovery (Like TWRP i guess?), but i couldn't find anything about it on google (I searched for it on english, i don't know anything about russian or chinesse, i guess that could've help me a lot).
So, getting to the point: Could you help me to understand how to compile TWRP for my phone, or in first place, how to know if i can even unlock the bootloader. I have installed custom ROMS before, on an Galaxy S5 and a nexus 5x, but nothing further.
Can i have some help?
Anyone? Still looking for recommendations on where to start with this.
