Since I'm new here, i cant post in the developer forum. Figure i would ask here. Want to install the new 2.1 version. I noticed in the instructions that it uses (fastboot -w) to wipe data. In the previous version it said not to use on the pro model as it had problems. Looking for some advice on the proper procedure to flash this version on a pro model.

This is probably more for Q&A. But, I will do my best to help you. You shouldn't have any problems installing it exactly as he states here, even with a pro version. Just note, the fastboot oem unlock will take almost 2 hours on the pro version. From there, it's as simple as he says. Just make sure you have all the correct drivers installed.
Thanks. Was just worried about the data wipe on pro model.

Because I am new to these forums I cannot post my question in the thread to where my question is directed to ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
My question is what is the real-life difference between the Full Packages and the Updates?
And to follow that up - Can I install the Full Package (Acer_A501_0.000.00_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7) onto my A500 which is as the following:
Android version: 3.0.1
Build number: Acer_A500_1.016.04_COM_GEN1
Will installing this Full Package be equivalent to formatting my Thinkpad laptop and installing WIndows 7 from scratch!?
Hi,
I have the same question but my situation is more worst.
I did a backup last time before I start install custom ROM.
Now when I tried to restore the original backup, I got an error message 'MD5 mismatch!'.
So now I can't even restore back to original ROM to check the version for my original ROM.
What should I do now to do the restore and update to HC3.2?
Bump ... gotta rack up those 10 posts somehow
YES. Just do it.

I'd have thought the answer was pretty obvious. A full package is exactly what it says it is. It can flash your device to the specified version from any other version. An update is ALSO exactly what it says it is. It updates FROM a specific version TO a specific version.
As to your other question, the answer AGAIN should be obvious. The A501 is a different device to the A500, it has a 3G modem. You shouldn't install ROMs for a different device as that would be pretty dumb. There are plenty of links to the official A500 ROM's on here, and Acer are also rolling out 3.2 at the moment.
not sure if there is a thread about this already. however I wanted to make one for zidoo x6 owners that want to try other firmware on their device. As of yet I have flashed the firmware for the tronsmart/beelink r68 which I didn't really like, I found the mouse was laggy. And generally I tend to lean towards custom firmware. so I flashed wassers rom to my x6. and so far so good. The thread for the link is below.

I have heard of mo123's rom also. I haven't tried that yet, but I am going to once he comes out with his new version. His thread can be found at the link below.

in order to downgrade firmware on the zidoo x6 the only working method are as follows.
http://blog.zidoo.tv/2015/11/how-to-flash-zidoo-x6-pro-box/
you must download the 1.0.19 image file off that website, then use the android tool also provided at that website to flash the 1.0.19 firmware on your zidoo box.
Once that is complete and you are back to that version you can then download the desired version of zidoo firmware you want and apply it in the local update section of the update app that's installed on the box. You can have this file either on a USB flash drive or on local storage on the zidoo. Follow onscreen instructions.
Zidoo firmware can be downloaded from here.

let me know if you need anymore help. cheers
btw sorry for the delayed response, I was away for a bit
and for flashing the system with custom firmware/other rk3368 firmware you can use the same android tool and flash it the exact same way as described in the link above for flashing 1.0.19.
I have described this procedure in my other thread, there are also other useful tools posted such as a backup tool which I strongly recommend using. Detailed instructions are provided in the posts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-android-5-1-lollipop-os-rk3368-octa-t3289262
As most rk3368 devices are similar you can use the same methods across the board.
cheers
you should also install the rk driver assistant found here.

I'm planning to turn my upcoming Axon 7 mini as my dedicated player. I've ordered it from china and I can't find any information regarding how to unlock its bootloader to be able to flash custom rom.
If you are ordering from Gearbest it will not be a chinese version it will be a global version most likely

I actually did! One last question, is the global version the easiest one to customize/mod? Thanks!
As long as you are very careful and read all the info first there should not be a problem - but dont do things to your phone that are meant for the US or any other version.

That's a bummer. It seems that AOKP is for the US version only. Can you recommend and custom roms/kernel for the global version? Appreciate the help!
I dont think you are reading things deeply enough - take your time to fully understand what is going on - reading many many threads before you even think about going ahead. All custom roms are available for your phone type !

Thanks a lot, I've been reading the forums and just wanted to ask if the EU or the UK version the same as the global one being sold in gearbest? Thanks!
Just updated the gearbest versione german b13 7.1.1 but I swear, can't find how to unlock bootloader (if it has one).About root withouth TWRP you can patch boot.img with magisk and try reput in the update.zip file....donìt think it will work, but I'll try later, it worked on Ulefone s8Prob, but I was able to unlock bootloader....
Hello
I write because following an update yesterday htc u ultra my companion he does not want to start it is blocked on htc and becomes very hot!
I tried several things seen on xda but there I am completely blocked.
I have access to different things, booloader, recoverry, etc ... but nothing changes I did a factory reset but the problem does not evolve
I tried to flash it with a ROM ruu but he told me that it is not the good CID. taken here https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-...stock-htc-ultra-dual-sim-1-64-400-10-t3758077
after i have an idea but i do not know if this is possible i have access to someone who has the same phone bought at the same place at the same time is it possible to extract the RUU rom to reinject it into that of my wife ???
I am hopeless we leave in 8 days and my wife finds herself without phone can you m help me to find the good RUU or extract that of my friend to reinject it?
the model is this one https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/htc-u-ultra-64go-4g-dual-sim-desimlocke-blanc-fr.html
apparently it's a Taiwanese model double sim
thanks for all the help !!
PS it was all original not rooted nor bootloaded unlocked just the update ota do
It would be better if you post the threads links properly, yours got truncated.
If you have, as you claim, the Taiwanese Dual SIM model you should be able to follow the downgrade procedure from Oreo to Nougat. I did it multiple times.
You cannot extract RUU. It is specially prepared package that performs several upgrade operations separately. You can only make dump of already installed system but for that you do need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) on both devices.

sorry i corrected the links.
on the other hand I can do this procedure despite that I have access only to bootloader and recovery?
I'm not an expert I thought I can just flash with a RUU but I can not find one

It seems to me you have got yourself a wrong RUU. The ones from the post are for India, not Taiwan.
Surely I can not get my hands on a Taiwanese RUU!
do you know where can I find a link?

We don't have RUU 8.0. Try boot to download mode and flash TWRP recovery. Downgrade to Nougat (7.0).
Hi, I have a Ticwatch Pro 4G/LTE (Catshark) [USA]. Do you know if it is possible to flash the EU stock firmware? I find so many comments here in the blog but, after a long research, seems I didn't fine a final answer to that
Can someone highlight me if was able to do the "conversion". For sure EU firmware seems is still getting updated, while US one no
Thank you!

I don't mean to say you are wrong but to share my experience. September of 2021 I got a TicWatch Pro 4G (catshark) and I live in the US. Brand new, but I can not tell you what firmware it came with. I flashed the U.S.A rom the moment the battery got to 50%, lol. I had nothing but issues. I flashed everything over and over. I think I could win a TickWatch setup Speedrun by now, I should summit my time. I made a bash script to automate the whole flashing process because I was tired of it.
I was out of ideas. I said "F it" nothing left to flash but the EU version. To my surprise it works perfectly, even data with Verizon, text, everything works for me, even Majisk. Flash Magisk 20.4 and you can install some modules. It's all kinda pointless on a watch though
I know the question is old by now but maybe it will help someone out just getting a TicWatch.

Can you post screenshots of such a setup please? I have posted several screenshots of my setup in other post and I can tell you that I believe there is no way that the EU rom will work on US Verizon. So please, post screenshots of rom build version and working Verizon signal, if you don't mind! I'm sure I'm not the only one that doubts such a working setup! Thank you!

Network State says "Disconnected" not sure what that's about but Verizon works as it should. Phone number is there, I purposely didn't show the whole number. I couldn't tell the EU version from the US by looking at firmware version but It's the Rom labeled "EU" is all I know.
I flash it manually with a rooted Note 10 if that makes any difference. Never connected the watch to a pc. I
Why is everyone so quiet now? You were not expecting screenshots?......I'm joking. Is that even the EU Rom? I honestly can't tell. It's from the EU Mega Folder posted here.
