Internal USB port
I'm thinking the internal USB was likely an aborted attempt to add NFC functionality the this thing. I'm wanting to build a case to add 2 external USB host ports without adding more than a half an inch or so to the depth. This should also let me add a secondary battery to the unit. If the internal usb is device only I might be able to bring that out and just use it for charging and connecting to my PC.

One more rom, SLimLP

Radio Firmware - (see firmware) a type of software that allows correct communication with the radio and the operating system. A newer firmware would normally improve battery life and call quality. The radio firmware only applies to the CDMA/GSM radio.
Overclock - (not to be confused with underclock) to exceed the default maximum CPU speed. This could make a phone more powerful but may cause damage. Although no damaged has been reported so far it could still drain battery life.
Nandroid - Its a process of taking a backup of most of the partitions in Android. This is usually performed in Recovery Console when OS is not running.
Partition - Similar to Linux, Android storage is divided into Partitions. These are akin to compartments that house specific part of the OS boot and operation.

Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows.
Next in order to Root, please follow this thread by @paulobrien . As you will see, there are two ways to go about it. Both do require your Bootloader to be unlocked. However, neither method, applies to the Google Play Edition (XT1032) as there is no supporting Custom Recovery for this variant.
If you do not have or do not wish to unlock your bootloader then you can opt for @oasoas014 's method of bootloader downgrade. You may also visit @Cooptx's more detailed guide. Note, with the most recent recoveries, you do not need to downgrade your bootloader.
Note - Flashing a bootloader is inherently dangerous. You can possibly hardbrick your device if you flash incorrect bootloader. Always check the MD5 value of downloaded file.
Only In Case of Moto G Google Play Edition (XT1032), it is possible to unlock the Bootloader on your own. You do not need to pay to get an Unlock Code from Motorola. Instead, you can follow the same method as Nexus or other Google Play Devices. Here's a nice tutorial. For those technically minded, here's Android Source Documentation of the same process. Once unlocked, the bootloader cannot be re-locked unless you flash a signed system image, (which Motorola has not made available as of 01-22-2014).
One of the first things you should do upon Rooting is to backup your PDS Partition.
[SIZE=+1]How to backup / restore PDS partition and why?[/SIZE]On Motorola devices the 'pds' partition contains information specific to your machine: IMEI, MAC address, serial number, etc. This partition can be lost by accidental format or over time due to filesystem corruption. If you have made a backup, there is a good chance you can bring your handset back to life.
==> PDS backup will help to restore lost IMEI. It is a situation when the phone reports that the IMEI is unknown. ; This works like a vaccine, apply before having issue with IMEI, after it will be too late !
Instructions:
**Root Required**
Using ADB you can make a copy of the partition and move it to a safe place (Google Drive?):adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.img​To restore in the event of corruption or loss:adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds​(assuming you've pushed pds.img to internal SDcard storage first)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. The viable options are either follow this guide or get an unlock code from Motorola.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
Note - CWM and TWRP recoveries do not support the Google Play Edition variant (XT1032). You will need to wait for Motorola to release the Kernel source code before @a1Pha can support. However Philz Touch does support Google Play Edition.

Not that it matters right now, because we don't have any CM
Also, CyanogenMod is spelt wrong at the end. And I am pretty sure that you can remove all preJB words
INFUSION B2 Rom by @tillaz -
This is a JB ROM
And there is no need to label JB as 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 because we only have 4.3
Also, you should add the two root methods for KK

Thanks for mentioning. I have made rest of the changes except for the 2 Root methods. Will add them to the Op. All changes are done.
Between the two methods you have mentioned, the basic premise of bootloader downgrade is pretty much the same right ? Your's seems more elaborate list of steps. Or am I missing something ?

Pre-Root Firmware
These are generally used to restore the /system of a rooted phone before applying an OTA update. Having a modified /system often will lead to a bootloop, so flashing the Pre-Root system.img and other parts is recommended. Be careful to choose the correct model and firmware on the right. Use WinRAR to connect all of the system.img parts together.

Basic Device Information
There are three variants of the Asus Zenfone 2, and it is important to use the files for the corresponding device or you may damage your device permanently. They are:
Device -- Model -- RAM/CPU​
Z00AD -- ZE551ML -- 4GB/2.3GHz or 4GB/1.8GHz
Z008D -- ZE550ML -- 2GB/1.8Hz
Z00D -- ZE500CL -- 2GB/1.6GHz
All of these devices share this subforum, but most of the development is targeted towards the Z00AD and the Z008D.
There is a newbie friendly thread dedicated to asking questions here, but you can post any question in its own respective thread here.

OTA Updates
These are the smaller, OTA packages. Do not use this if you are rooted. If they do not appear automatically on your phone, you can download the corresponding OTA and update your phone manually by placing the OTA zip on your SD card renaming the OTA zip to:
Code:
MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Then go into the stock recovery by holding the volume up key while powering it on. Once the phone vibrates, release the Power Key but continue holding Vol Up. Then click Vol Down until the Box in the top says "Recovery". Click the Power button once to install it. Don't forget to delete the update after it is finished.

This method actually worked for me when I rooted with the one-click tool. It also keeps root after update.

It caused some people to bootloop who had modified lots of parts on their /system and deleted lots of apps. Best to be safe and flash the pre-rooted images first.

The way that the update-script in the OTA works is that it checks the integrity of the /system apps and then installs a newer version of it that is included in the OTA.
Btw if you unroot your stock rom and you have not messed with the system partition you can flash the ota's in twrp just fine no need to use the stock recovery or rename them
i wanna asking in zenny . how to turn off the vibrate when the popup battery 15% showed? thanks !

So theres not ANY other custom rom for ariel? Im not sure how roms work, but is there a way to get stock android? It would probably need to be ported, but there should be other custom roms out there, since the cyanogenmod rom has a lot of issues, like not being able to use the cameras or netflix.
Most stable firmware
Anyone please suggest most stable firmware for amazon fire tab 7 .

Well it is hosted on a weird website, but this is the direct link that the phone OTA software (fota, which is known to be terrible) use (captured with Wireshark). It can easily be verified.
It seems the real manufacturer of the phone is "tinno" http://www.tinno.com/En/Profile/Index.html and lot of the internal apps / update files use mirrors on http://www.jstinno.com too.

Updated the original ad removal post with TWRP install files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67892852&postcount=567 link on the index still valid.
This updated method remove the need of wiping the data and will remove all ads, even the one currently displayed on the lock screen.
Root or exposed are not required (only TWRP obviously) so it won't affect the device security.
I created 2 scripts, one to clean everything, the other one leave the Underground app store in the system.
If you use it a lot, it's nice as it will update the apps automatically without the need of allowing unknown sources.
OTA are disabled by renaming the updater. Safer than the previous method (pm disable and pm hide), and safer than deleting if we need it later.

[Lava Pixel V1][White Variant]Stock OTA & Security Patch Update Links.

Stock OTA & Security Patch Update Links are for Lava Pixel V1 White Variant ONLY.
This Links are directly from Lava OR Google,
That is, the Update which you Download in "System updates",
Which is at "Settings=>About phone=>System updates".
I have Only Provided you the LINK'S to Stock OTA & Security Patch Update ZIP's.
And I do not Have any Rights or Control over those ZIP's.
Hence I have NO way to EDIT those ZIP's, & Therefore are provided AS IS.
These ZIP's can be Flashed using Stock Recovery[1] OR TWRP[2] (Custom Recovery).
[1] IF using Stock Recovery,
Then you need to make sure that current update is done over previous update,
Else Stock Recovery will give ERROR & will NOT update.
NOTE:You Need to have Inserted External Micro SD Card, & all the Update ZIP's ON it.
[2] IF using TWRP ,(Link)
Then you need to edit the ZIP file in "updater-script",
By removing all "getprop", "file_getprop" & "apply_patch_check" Lines,
Else will get an ERROR & will NOT update.
Note To ALL:
I (Dark❶) is NOT & will NOT be Responsible for any USE of ZIP's which are provided in this Thread, IT is Your responsibility & what you DO with it.
If you flash those ZIP's & any S**T happens to your Phone, Then I (Dark❶) & Anyone else is NOT Responsible, BUT you are.

NOTE: Only IF you are getting ERROR Then You will have to use @AC DC Procedure provided in his Post here : (Link).
(Thanks to @AC DC(Reff), for the above link & Procedure).
OR
BY using Smart Phone Flash Tool.(SP Flash Tool)
I Recommend this Method. (At-least is Best Method for Me)
SP Flash Tool (Link) Use Latest Version.
Marshmallow for White Variant(Link), Which is "LAVA_PixelV1_S031_20160122" and is found Here(Link).
How to use SP Flash Tool to Flash Stock Marshmallow Firmware is HERE.

Link Grabbing Procedure
This is How I grabbed the OTA links.
You can also do that, But you need to have ROOT access.
This Single Line Command is Combination of two commands.
First it makes Bugreport to "/sdcard/ota.bugreport.txt"
then it gets this "system_update" selected lines from "/sdcard/ota.bugreport.txt"
and then puts it in "/sdcard/ota.link.txt"
In "/sdcard/ota.link.txt" you will see the links.
Following is the Procedure:
1} Open Terminal in android.
OR you can use ADB SHELL.
But this is for Terminal in android.
2} Type in Terminal
Code:
su
Once Root access is granted, you will see "#" symbol.
3}Copy & paste the following command
Code:
grep system_update /sdcard/ota.bugreport.txt `bugreport > /sdcard/ota.bugreport.txt` > /sdcard/ota.link.txt
NOTE: After pressing "ENTER", you will get One vibration,
After Complete Execution of Command, you will get Two vibrations.
You have to wait at-least for 5 minutes, Usually happens in less than 1 minute.

4}You will find the Link in "/sdcard/ota.link.txt".
I have Saved the results to this FILE Because I can easily copy the links from the file and save it some place else since copying from terminal is Messy.
Thanks to @MSF Jarvis for Link grabbing procedure found here(Link).
His Procedure has Two commands which I combined to One Line and then it Saves the results to a FILE.

Google Camera is Kind of BUGGY & I am not getting what you said "camera doesn't seem to connect anymore".
Even I have Camera Issues Like while taking a Photo or Viewing an Image, it sometimes Force Close.
But you can try this :
1.Go to "Setting=>Apps=>Camera" then in App info go to "Storage"
and press "CLEAR DATA". Doing so will ERASE setting of camera app.
if above does not work then Below
2.Factory Reset.
Go to "Setting=>Backup & reset=>Factory data reset" & press "RESET PHONE".
Doing So will ERASE all your DATA.
the above is "Soft Reset", there is "Hard Reset" by using Recovery mode,
but decided not to tell you coz you are "NewBie" aka "NOOB"(Which I am still , & Have to learn a lot)
3.Flashing Marshmallow using SP flash tool.
But can not tell you again coz of above reason.
BUT if you want to know any of those method you may tell me.

You are Welcomed :good:
The error it shows is : Camera can't connect
Sorry if you didn't get that earlier.
I have tried soft reboot and hard reboot.
I have even tried rooting but have failed..
So, if you could help me how to root Lava Pixel V1.
I have tried ADB and Fastboot but the TWRP doesn't install properly. I may have the wrong version.
Please If you could post download link for correct one.
Thanks.
