[USE IT][GUIDE]Fast Answer To Your Question[GUIDE] [TeamOptima]

Hi
So i have been here (XDA) for a while and recently i get more and more annoyed (as you can see in my signature) when people post questions that create more questions
For Example :​
[Q] After kdz update phone dont boots up
Hello,
before 30 minutes I flashed the kdz file for android 4.1.2 for my region.
My problem is that my phone didnt boot since then.. it stucks at the LG logo.

This was posted in general Q&A L3 L3II L5 L5II L7 L7II
Now How In The Hell To Answer Safely And Correctly ?????
Well that's where THIS post comes to place ​
I will explain how to ask question in order get the answer fastest possible ​
These Are Questions
You NEED To Answer In YOUR Post
(more of them you answer the bigger chance you get for quick resolution)​
1. What exact phone model is it ? (check the sticker under the battery and include it in your post)
2. Did you use any guide ? (best if you paste the link and include it in your post )
3. What exactly where you doing (post what were trying to do, name of apps/programs you were you using etc.)
3.a If you have app problem make sure to include name of the app and source of download
3.b If You have flash problem make sure to include FULL name of the ROM and flash file also include source of download, program used to flash/update(if you are using CWM / TWRP / OR / or any custom recovery make sure to post VERSION number), your operating system, Usb ports info (1.x, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1), was / is your battery full,
4. Can you provide LOGCAT ? GUIDE HERE If Needed (adb for windows in attachment)
5.Can you provide SCREENSHOTS ?
to provide screenshots without any app, root or trouble use adb (if you on linux no need to explain, if you on windows see link at the bottom) paste this code to terminal/cmd and press enter every time you want to make screenshot
For linux/ubuntu/etc.
Code:
adb shell screencap -p | sed 's/\r$//' > screen.png
For OsX
Code:
adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > screen.png
For Windows (*no 1 liners don't work)
Code:
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png
This will make screenshot named screen.png and save it (linux and osx home folder) (windows adb folder or root of system drive (i.e. c:\) depending on configuration) {rename "screen.png" to your desired name and remember this will overwrite the previous screen if name stays the same}
5. Post answers in YOUR POST and wait for me or someone else to happily answer (not bombard you with questions before we can help you)
SIMPLE SOFT-BRICK GUIDE
adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip* 1.extract it to any folder 2.open the folder 3.press shift key on keyboard and right click the mouse and select "open command window"
your cmd will open here and you will be able to use adb and more if needed

can you see any devices in device manager ?
like:
adb ?
ports ?
usb composite device ?
does phone display anything ?
does it boot ?
can you get into "download mode" ? (pull battery out, plug usb to pc, press and hold vol- button, plug usb to mobile, wait few seconds, put battery back) it should display Download Mode on black screen then try kdz

does phone display anything ? just black screen with LG logo.
does it boot ? no,just only the display is blinking not rapidly, as if it were just bootloop.

Kernels for LG E400
Hi,
I'm a new user of XDA, but I've already tested part of ROMs for my phone (model in title).
I have a little question about kernels: some ROMs have a kernel in other ZIP file. But after correct installation (by CWM Recovery) I have blurred screen. Now I'm using JellyBeanRevenge (or some like that ) and it's work fine, because Author gave good instructions; but in some of other kernels don't works. Why?

Are you sure the kernel was for your baseband ? ie v10x; v20x ?
when changing roms v10 to v20 and back certain files get rewritten and not in same format anymore so errors occur
also not all kernels are stable and everyday use
so.. read about the source and features / defects of kernel you want to install and ensure you check if your base stock rom is v10 or v20

1) So I'm completely new, is there an introduction guide to rooting and installing custom ROMs? Just so I can know what I'm doing.
2) I'm running linux right now, do most popular methods support it or should I do everything on windows "just in case"?
3) Are there any recommended ROMs or mods for low specs phones like the L3? I currently have a L3 E431g I'd like to mod

Your phone is l3 ii !!!

DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING FOR LG L3 IT WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE !!!
most tools made for windows and that's what i would use (virtual machine will work)
first use program and youtube guide in my signature (show content) to root your phone using vroot (its easy and works on any software version )
then have look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654327
if your phone has 1 sim-card
you can unlock bootolader and install custom recovery using things in first post
ROM's Are UNDER DEVELOPMENT dont ask how long (about ~2 weeks)
there is mod made by @slipsystem but still in beta stage so no official release (subscribe to E430 thread for update in post #2 )

Thanks for the anwser IGGYVIP. I'm guessing that the E430 and E431 are similar enough that almost everything will work on both phones, right?
I already rooted mine, and I guess I'll wait and see how slipsystem's mod works when is released.

Nice one

Actually I lied . I though that I had rooted it but I actually never ran the program. I'm trying now but I can't seem to make it work (the vroot method). VROOT connects to the device, installs some chinese manager app, reboots and then nothing happens. VROOT eventually shows that it couldn't root the device and asks if I wanna retry, but it never manages to root it.
Does the superoneclick works on the 430?

I will update #1

Nexus bricked: What to do?? / What to do if computer turns off in the middle of flash

Requirement :
Should haveWugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit installed on your computer [with all updates installed ( not necessary),Should wait for it to download necessary updates for your device ( If no net connection then also no prob just wait) ]
( To download nrt visit wugfresh site(can't post link soory) )
You should how to connect your device using nrt, else, follow these steps,
Navigate to about phone section, while you are in the About Phone section, click on the Build Number option seven times to enable Developer mode. Then,go back to settings menu scroll down to developer options, in the Developer mode options, enable USB debugging. A screen will pop up on your phone when the program attempts to make a connection. Make sure to allow it.
Installing drivers :If the program and computer aren't recognizing your device, you will have to install software drivers. In the Nexus Root Toolkit, click on the "Full Driver Installation Guide" button and follow steps one to four. This is the most difficult part of the process. Be sure to follow the steps exactly.
Should know how to boot into bootloader.( can't post a link on where to find out sorry)
How to find if your nexus is bricked:
You see a message "Boot failed...." on your device.
The device is not booting but is staying on boot animation screen for long time (>30 minnutes).
The device is bootlooping means the device is rebooting again and again upto boot animation.
And any other problem that might result in your device, not being able to boot.
What you should do:
Don't panic this error is 100% rectifiable.
if you happened to end up in "boot failed" message on your device after the computer you were using switched off halfway through the flashing process.Then you have to restart your computer and then boot your nexus into bootloader mode and connect it to your computer.
Open Nrt ( Nexus root toolkit)
You should select change in your model type and set "select the android build you are currently running to the version of android you were trying to flash if you were trying to flash some other ROM, then just leave this step.
Then select "soft-bricked or bootloop" or "device is on or normal" depending on your device's current state and press on "Flash stock + Unroot".
you will have to either download a factory image and browse to it when asked so by the software, or let the software download it for you.
( For obtaining factory image for your nexus and search for your device based on build number of your device... )
All the screen on your computer read and do as necessary (Most of the times it is "OK" button that you have to press)
The device should be back to normal after it reboots.
Else just let me know......!

This can be done without a toolkit, Flashing factory image with fastboot instead.
Toolkits cause many of the issues on here, learning to do it manually with fastboot can both avoid issues, and fix issues. And teach people valuable skills.... As adb/fastboot are essential tools, especially with a Nexus. ?
But thanks for the info. Contributions like this are always good. ?

Well I had a different kind of problem.
My Nexus was running fine in 4.4.4 when I rooted it since it was out of warranty. It upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 without a problem and continued to function in rooted state.
It made several attempts at updating to 5.0.2 but always ended with "Failed" message. I figured unrooting the device might help with the OS upgrade. It did not and screwed up everything. I then Set it to Factory default and it went to wiped 5.0 state. Then disaster struck. I tried rooting it , unfortunately with older Chainfire which bricked the device and would not let me install 5.0. So I tried to force install 4.4.4 and then the device got bricked. I simply get the message "Boot Failed" I boot into fastboot mode and I get the basic display with green start in the upper right corner, large Android icon in the center of the screen and the standard fine text on the lower let side. Unfortunately Windows ( x64 - Ultimate) insists on recognising the device as "Unknown Device" and when I go into properties this is is what is states ...
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
Do you think I might have better luck if I tried this on a Win XP machine ? I have both, x86 and x64.
Now, can you please tell me how I can get around this problem ?
BTW I do remember olden days of Cassiopeia PDAs before the flash memory came on the stage. The original OS would be on a plugged in masked rom daughter board in the event of losing all battery power. You could always force it to load it and get to factory mode. I think it is high time Android device manufacturers reverted to this process. I believe it can live side by side with the current system at a very marginal higher cost but have a whole lot of satisfied and LOYAL customers. It would give the user ability to go to factory mode albeit without any OS updates/upgrades but a fully functional device.
Would very much appreciate your feedback.

Lenovo A6000 Softbricke​d---- Needs some help--Plea​se

Please note that I have done search and tried various solutions before starting this thread :
Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following :
https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbric​k-lenovo-a6000/
but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work
I have also tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/unbrick-lenovo-a6000-plus-lenovo-a6000-t3137247
but it has ADB killed (tried looking and installing adbfixer solution--it says it cannot finf adb.exe even though it is there)
Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

install cwm
Install cwm from pc and then try

Use HW flash tool
Even my Lenovo a6000 plus was bricked. But mine is more complicated than your's.
I've installed CWM recovery before. But unable to access it, atleast native Android recovery either.
"Rev-app" folder from "System" folder were deleted unfortunately. I couldn't even wipe, hard reset or anything.
After a long struggle, i've found a way out. I've came across a Qualcomm flash tool "HW OneKeyDownload Tool".
And finally, i won on it!
Download it from here: docs.google(.)com/uc?id=0B3qYFBKKL2hieDM1RUNMQWRsSHc
You need to have:
1. Mobile drivers installed
2. Universal ADB drivers (That ZIP will have it)
3. Stock ROM or any custom ROM
See this post on AndroidXDA for more info:
androidxda(.)com/download-hw-onekeydownload-tool

install cwwm
installing cwm from pc is the best way to unbrick

Dont feel bro.just follow the steps which u tried before to install cwm.but before that if ur pc cant find ur mobile.then use this command.
"Adb shell"
And it shows searching for device.
Then put ur battery out and insert it again.ur device will be detect by pc.

Recently I was tried to update mobile firmware (latest Kraft-A6000-S_S014_150730) by OTA update (via system settings->about phone->system update), that time my mobile was soft bricked like above you said. I downloaded firmware and installed then some time after got some options menu. And I attached that problem as picture.
Before that I rooted my mobile using KINGROOT apk v4.0 , there after I did unroot again using in the same app.
I thought unrooted mobile does not affect by system update (any firmware or OTA update by LENOVO). But unfortunately my mobile got problem.
I didn't took any backup before that. I don't know anything about CWM backup and all. I know only the root and unroot using KINGROOT app.
I need to recover my mobile back or tell me how to install LENOVO A6000 PLUS stock ROM or any other way is there tell me to solve the problem. Please guide me step by step process or any video link there it was little better to understand for me.
Please help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks.

Attach the device to PC through USB cable and Install the CWM through ADB .
Install the Stock Kernel through Update Zip option within the CWM.

having worked with adb i've realized how much of a powerful tool it is for Android Modding, but the googling on what commands to use is annoying so a few suggestions on a tool that would have made my experience much easier.
you start the tool it automatically detects if a device is connected so no adb devices, then clearly show this, commands show neatly as buttons, if you want to flash a custom recovery you press the button flash custom recover and then a dialog pops up asking you to browse for the img file, so no command, if you want to flash a rom you press flash rom button then again a dialog pops up asking you to navigate to the file, theres no need for commannds, and then a checkbar (reboot after flashing) and once flashing is finished you have a simple reboot button (reboot to system,reboot to recovery, reboot to bootloader) this tool would also let you flash zips such as gapps or magisk, same deal there you press a flash maybe module button you get asked to navigate to the file it does the flashing for you i know it's possible just complicated a tool could fix that, this tool would also check if all the proper drivers are installed and display it as a green ok mark and if not ask you to install said drivers, this tool would be portable no installation required, there would also be a open terminal button for the standard adb, other ideas include foolproof safety features if you're about to flash a custom recovery a window will pop up
flashing an incorrect custom recovery can damage your device if you have a dual sim version of your phone and flash a single sim version you can cause damage, would you like to google the name of this recovery to make sure it's supported for your devices (model number) (google) (pressing google will start a google search with the recovery name as well as the model name of the phone)
flashing an incorrect custom rom can damage your device would you like to google the name of this rom to make sure it's supported for your device, if you have a dual sim version of your phone and flash a single sim version you can cause damage (model number) (google) (pressing google will start a google search with the rom name as well as the model name of the phone)
safety checks can always be implemented that rom and recovery developers include so a recovery or rom has a specific file this tool will look for and if all information is correct to the model name of the phone it will continue if information isn't correct then it won't flash anything if so it would show this error
this rom/recover does not support your device if you proceed you can brick it, contact the developer for clarification as it may just be a mistake with the identifcationfile (continue any way) and then Another warning message if you continue this would be a red one. and you have to type in text (i understand the risks that my device can be bricked and permanently damaged by continuing) (and then a continue button that Counts down from 10 until it can be clicked)
personally i like the idea of this even if it would be annoying but it would shove it in the users face that they are willingly about to destroy their device, i wen't through a literal nightmare yesterday because there were things i wasn't aware of when flashing, for example someone put a rom for the huawei mate 10 lite under the mate 10 section without clarifying that it's not officially supported for the mate 10 pro so i got error 7 i also failed to install adb 15 seconds because it didn't work a portable version would fix that , not to mention the annoyances of googling what commands to use for each function, all of which i could have avoided with a tool like that, a tool like that would also let me know that i don't need twrp, i had no idea adb could do Everything twrp did, it would also replace the typing out the entire file location with a browse button instead, Another idea is fully automating the entire process even after the phone is rebooted, the developer makes a package that the tool supports, then the tool will flash the recovery and reboot into, or flash the rom and reboot, it would just be a simple start button.

Restoring Acer A501 - broken google play services and Recovery mode

Hello
I have Acer Iconia Tab A501 with unlocked bootloader some TWRP and Omni 4.4.4 rom ( rooted )
For a while now google play services are constantly crashing , when popup is dismissed -it's just back within second . Tried to clean cache etc. but it didn't work
I wanted to reset it to factory settings to see maybe issue will go away ,
- Tried to reset normally : go Settings>> Factory reset , tablet just resets and is as it was
- Tried to enter recovery mode, to maybe install newers gaps , power down tablet, vol + power and for a brief moment I can see message ( loading recovery image ...) and then tablet resets just launching as normal
- google play services is in version 20.39.15 maby it would be possible to install newer apk ?
- I can put tablet into APX mode ( hold reset and power ) but even though I installed all drivers for USB Acer on Windows 10 , A500APXFlash by blackthund3r complains no drivers installed ( and in device manager APX is listed with warning )
- I can operate tablet ( closing constant error pop-ups ) so maybe there is some app that I can install to repair recovery ?
- google play store is busted but can install some apk not requiring google stuff
- I can reboot into bootloader which is I think then launching it in fastboot download mode (?) , but I have no idea what's next ( and maybe missing drivers as well ? )
- I have drivers : USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501
Can anyone help me and guide me what current procedure to make it working currently is ( I did flashed it but it was soo long ago, but have sbk )

Sorry to bump , but maybe at least somebody can give me a hint which drivers I need to make it work under Windows 10 ?
The ones downloaded through A500APXFlash link ( I think those comes from acer ?) clearly are not detected when my tablet is in APX mode

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe try this? Seems too be the Google play store without needing google play services. You need to be on lollipop though. I would recommend installing android 5.1 without gapps and trying it out.
