For the sake of doing crazy things! Can you imagine this? Running VirtualBox in a Virtual Machine. I could not take it further (by installing another VM in VBox running inside a VM) because of hardware constraints. smiley

Or painful things.
Good thing you had no plans of actually working with the guest in a guest

Pls I need help from anyone using LG G3 D855 16g.

I flashed mine with a stock rom. After my wi-fi and Bluetooth are no longer working and when I view the hardware info, they are displaying unavailable. I took it to a technician and he said that my wi-fi address was wiped off and that I should get a screen shot of the hardware info of a similar phone. I have been searching for someone that uses the same but all to no avail.

Anybody using the same phone can please help me with the screenshot. Thanks...

From your post, I'm guessing you didn't do a rom backup first. I hope you have a custom recovery sha, if so you can try installing a custom rom and see if the issue will go away

Guys who knows the ADMIN password to a Spectranet CPE?

normal login is user/user

i'm looking for the admin one

Do you have the manual? If so check that, if not you can try searching for it (but I would have thought the normal login would be an admin sha)

Maybe you would have to reset the CPE (if it's an indoor one)

I have but same story

I'm guessing your phone is rooted right? If so, install link2sd, open it, grant root access, scroll down to one of the keyboard apps, select and tap the menu (the 3 dots at the upper right corner of the screen. in the options that come up, select convert to system app. Restart your phone and make the keyboard default. Let me know if the problem still persists

Good morning. I flashed a custom ROM to a fone, but I discovered it didn't have keyboard. I tried installing one but on opening it it'll say unfortunately keyboard has stopped. any way around this? or is there a way I can copy the keyboard of my stock ROM?

You're telling me that in language/input settings, there was originally no default keyboard?
Which keyboard did you install? Is that the default keyboard now?
Why not try installing a second keyboard like flexkey or Swype or TouchPal and making that default?

Is 4.22 , so how can I flash the rom

I mean the manufacturer and make. Telling me your phone is a Samsung for example doesn't help me, there are different kinds of Samsung. If on the other hand you say it's a dual sim Samsung Galaxy core prime, then I can work with that

I don't need to know the android version, I need the phone make

If you don't know how to check, you can install this app from the play store, you will get the information :

what is the model of your phone? sounds like the rom was customised. your best bet is to flash another rom

-unless the hardware was customised, in which case I'm not sure there is anything you can do

Thank you so much bro for the tip off. But please pardon my ignorance. I have googled to see how i can do this, but not getting the desired results to help me through this process of booting into recovery mode to be able to move my files. I'd appreciate if you can guide me through this. I know how to but into recovery mode, but where and where do i need to go to for me to be able to access and move this folder so i can get back my space.

I am confused, how did you flash cm13? How did you do a backup of the stock rom?

Also, which recovery are you using? Clockworkmod or Twrp? By the way the backup will be in a folder by either of those names, inside the internal memory

Hey guys, i'm in deep shyt right now and i need serious help

I installed cyanogenmod 13.1 on my samsung galaxy s3 using Rom Manager. It worked, but the major problem is that my Internal Drive is filled up to the brim with no space left. I searched for files that could cause this, but didn't find any. I enabled Hidden show hidden files with my ES app to see if there's any hidden file causing this, but still none. I got fed up of this issue and decided to revert back to my previous Jellybean version, lo and behold, somehow it seems it didn't back up and could not restore. Each time i Wipe, Format and Restore Back, it goes back to cyanogenmod. Please what is the way out of this. I need help ooo

Why not try flashing cm10 or 11 (those are the versions that correspond with jellybean and kitkat respectively).

By the way if you would rather continue with cm13 and have your space back, in recovery mode you can probably find the folder that is taking up the space (it's the backup of your jellybean). Move it to sdcard or delete it

Please i need serious help.

My friend gave me a UK used Samsung Galaxy J5 Duos. The phone looks cool but lags seriously such that installing an app like Facebook takes up to 30 mins. It has android 5.1.1 lollipop. I have downloaded marshmallow and every other thing ready to flash.

It won't connect to Odin and says the USB device malfunctioned and cannot be recognised. I have used several USB cables in vein. File transfer works through USB.

The main inconsistency I see is that the phone shows J700F in download mode even when the phone is J500H. Also, the ram is inconsistent as the screen shot will show you. Please what will you suggest.

Looks to me like you have too many system apps running. You should stop some of them - especially those you don't use much. As for the Odin issue, the problem might actually be the drivers/samsung software you have on your laptop. You can try connecting another Samsung device and see if odin will recognize it. If not then the problem is definitely on your pc

bro am a novice ooo..u see i dont even have the rom..my phone is completely unresponsive i mean completely off..it went off by itself..i av the sp flash tool and av tried tirelessly to get a stock rom or scatter files i couldnt pls if u can help me with it i will really appreciate.. so i can just flash it overnite..u can inbox my the scatter files ..cs.juwonlo@gmail.com

So you're saying your phone isn't coming on at all? By the way the first link in my previous post is a link to a stock rom, and it also comes with a scatter file.

That said if the phone powers up but hangs before it gets to the lock screen, you can try a factory reset first, check this link :

http://www.hardreset.info/devices/huawei/huawei-p8-lite-ale-l04/

I know it's not exactly the same model as your phone but the process should work all the same

black weaver do u have the scatter files for huawei p8 lite ALE L21 EUROPE VERSION DUAL SIM..PLS HELP WITH THE EXTRACTED FILE IN TXT FORMAT I ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE SP FLASH TOOL.THANKS AND EMAIL IT TO ME..CS.JUWONLO@GMAIL.COM

Sorry I don't, but on doing a search I saw this site:

http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-ale-l21-stock-b170-lollipop-firmware/

But if your phone is working and you just want to generate a scatter file you can check this site for info on doing just that :

https://forum..com/thread-87.html

Then again, the rom you're trying to flash should have come with a scatter file anyway. Might I ask, what exactly are you trying to do?

Guys pls is it necessary to unroot before flashing
stock rom?

Nope, the process of flashing a new rom clears all system apps - however if you're installing an ota update (as opposed to flashing stock or custom roms) some oems do not allow updating rooted phones

Hmmm!!! Too much running apps?
The phone goes blank when number is dialled and screen does not respond when some icons are tapped or when I want to swipe to unlock screen.

I've experienced it before, although then my phone had ~512mb ram. Are you by any chance using ram expander? If so then you're probably going to have that kind of problem

My Samsung Galaxy Grandneo plus had a screen crack which was still working fine but yesterday after the touch(screen) was replaced, I noticed my phone hangs as some application icons couldn't open if I click them or screen would go blank if I dialled a number unless I restart the phone.

Please, help

Seems like a memory problem, you probably have too many apps running at once. One app that could help is greenify. You can get it from the play store

Ok, thanks. installing a custom Rom will solve the problem right?
And hope the phone won't brick?

The problem is that you have installed malware that is among your system apps. If your phone is rooted and you know what app is causing it, you can remove the app manually. Otherwise you will have to flash a stock or a custom rom.
On the other hand, you could try getting an antivirus from the play store, though I don't know if that will work

Pls, my phone started displaying this pop-up everytime (I mean like once every 2 minute). The phone sometimes returns to the homepage screen while I'm working on it, It also download and install application in the background without asking for permission.

It started few weeks ago, pls how do I stop these.

What kind of phone is it? You might have to flash a stock rom again. I'm not sure even aa factory reset will work

Lol same here I have dual Ubuntu and windows running and also another laptop with Kubuntu mehn fvck Unity, Xfce and KDE Plasma is the bomb, esp KDE it comes with cool tools I need

Good for you; agree with the unity, everything else nah. Not really a fan of the plasma -especeially kde5.x. Maybe i'm just old fashioned o, took me a while to take to kde4.x sef. Haven't taken to gnome3 or unity. I stand with mate/Xfce.
I'm still ok with cinnamon though. Maybe it's because my hardware has never been high end sha.
When you start your desktop environment and your system is crawling, then you have to spend lots of time disabling all the compositing so you can get sensible enough performance.
And gnome3 still makes some things that should be basic difficult

@blackweaver. Have you ever been able to.use a MiFi on Ubuntu via USB?

Can't seem to this spectranet version to work.

You know on windows its not exactly dialup. It works more like tethering. It doesnt have a dashboard. U just plug it in and it creates a virtual land.

Network manager actually detects it. I located some drivers for it and installed so it is detected.

USB modeswitch also installed and tried.

I think that because its not dial up network manager doesn't know what to do with it. Tried WVdial, no results.

never had to or tried to, I always use the wifi of the modem. Any reason why you're trying to do so?
