Unetbootin has no provision for centOS 7.0

What about redhat or scientific linux? If it has a provision for any of them it will work for centos

My infinix hot 4,i tried to boot it into recovery mode and immediately it went off and isn't coming on again for like an hour now... I have plugged it its not indicating charging, the phone is just off and doesn't wanna come on, please what can be the problem and what can I do?

Does it have removable battery? If so, remove the battery for a few seconds then put it back in. If not you might try holding the power button for up to 15 secs. I don't know if that would work but it's worth a try

What's the best android device

pls gurus I need help I got a gionee gn709l and it didn't come with a Google play store each time I try to download one it keeps saying "app not installed" pls how do I get the play store on my phone

I was going to recommend downloading and flashing opengapps, but on checking the specs of your phone I realise it comes with android 4.3. Unfortunately the minimum version that opengapps supports is android 4.4

However if you have a custom recovery on your phone (cwm or twrp) you can try downloading flashing from here:
http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/

or you can try downlloading from here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-4-3-11-3-release/google-play-store-4-3-11-android-apk-download/

I don't know if any of the apks there will work though

Please i ran into bigger ish trying to replace my default phone dailer.i deleted my stock dailer using system app remover by jumobile and later tried converting com.android.phone(the default phone app) to user app,(to replace it with true phone dailer from the store) using system app converter.my phone is in a deep mess now! I need a custom rom, please, Oga blackweaver. If that would help.No network on my phone again. Unfortunately,com.android.phone has stopped

i haven't been able to find a stock rom for the device but i noticed it has similar specs with blu studio 6 lte. you could try downloading the rom from here

Gud am folks. Please I have an issue with my phone which I want to deal with urgently.as a root user I tried removing some system apps for the sake of improving battery life,but I wasn't impressed so after some trial and error(frequent deleting and restoring) I restored back the apps which didn't work well this time around.The problem was that one or two apps refused to restore.. com.keyguard.apk and may be another one.. now my recent app key no longer works.I need help badly..please gurus in the house help me out.

what app did you use to delete/restore?

am having problems determining my sudo password


If this is ubuntu or an ubuntu derivative (kubuntu, ubuntu mate, xubuntu, lubuntu,mint or other distros based off any of these) then the sudo password should be the normal login password, else if you have root password you can su to root andrun whatever command you want
Crime / Re: Bricklayer Rapes Prostitute On The Road In Lagos After Promising To Pay Her N40k by blackweaver(m): 8:42pm On Apr 11, 2017
I can see that so many people never actually bother to read the story

So because the man refused to pay, you're saying it's not rape? They had an agreement, the business was supposed to be conducted in a hotel. While on the way to the hotel the man attacked her, forcefully had sex with her, attempted to strangle her and also robbed her.
Let's even assume that because she's a commercial sex worker she can't be raped (which is bullcrap by the way) what about the robbery and attempted murder? How come no one is talking about that?

guys please ,i need help. i must have activated some kind of security on my phone a few months ago. Now, ive forgotten the pin. so yesterday i tried to switch sims, and immediately ,it startted asking for Privacy protection pin. thing is that i disabled the two sims before i removed them (the way i unmount the sd card before removing). So now when i put back the default sims, it shows 'no service' so im not sure if the remote unlock will work. but, if i put a different sim, it inds network signal.

I dont wanna format it (yet,at least not before trying other options) because i have A LOT of vatal information i wouldnt want to lose.

what can i do?


cc. carlcaresophia


Why not put back original sims and enable them first? Then you can see about changing the sim lock pin

Please help o!

My Techno Phantom G9 began to malfunction when I turned on my data. It either freezes operations or takes me back to home screen. It's 1GB RAM and about 500mb free and also has plenty of unknown apps running without my permission. Apps such as Netalpha, com.android position etc.

Please help me out o I have done factory setting but nothing has changed yet.
Thanks.

Root your phone, install a custom recovery (twrp or clockworkmod), back up the current state of the phone then install an app like titanium backup or link2sd. Both apps have functionality to remove system apps but they need root permission.
The custom recovery is so that if the phone doesn't work properly when you remove a system app, you can always restore to the previous state

For the com.android.position issue, that sounds like a location problem. If you don't use your phone for GPS and don't use based location services (eg uber) you can always turn location off in settings.

Conversely you can install greenify and hibernate all those apps and cutoff wakeup paths - note greenify is more effective when your phone is rooted

it might not work if your phone is stuck in a bootloop. I'm speaking from experience

Lolzz there is always a reset button for both removable and non removable battery, just google it.

I remember an instance when I flashed a custom rom via twrp on my phone with a non-removable battery. When I restarted the phone it entered a bootloop and I couldn't power it down and it wouldn't enter recovery either . The first time that happened I had to let the battery run down before I could enter recovery and restore my backup.
Later on I found out I could have flashed another rom with spflashtool.
Even then flashing with spflashtool takes a longer time and I will still have to flash back my previous rom. With a removable battery I can just remove the battery, put it back, boot into recovery and restore backup.

I remember another instance where a friends phone had hung and he hadn't been able to power it down. It turned out he needed to put it under a certain amount of illumination before holding the power button long enough would work.

Personally I don't believe one is better than the other, people just have preferences. I prefer removable so I don't have to press a button for a certain amount of time before I can power down a phone.

Hi guys

For someone who is used to the ubuntu/kubuntu distro, is it easy to adapt to a job requiring deep knowledge of Red hat?how similar are the interfaces?

For me the 2 biggest differences between using Ubuntu and redhat- based distros are the package managers/package types (rpm vs deb) and the system daemon types (systemd Vs upstart I believe)

I don't think you should have too much problems with the gui. However get used to using su rather than sudo and yum instead of apt-get

Well rooting with kingroot shouldn't stop your phone from accessing the play store. can all your other apps access the internet?
Anyway let me know if you can access the play store after uninstalling the playstore updates

plz since the time i rooted my Android play store is not working, when I use data or wifi it will not connect it wont even try to connect.plz help me abeg

try uninstalling the play store (uninstall updates) then try to access and update your play store again.

Rooting should never affect your play store. How did you root the phone anyway?
