PietroRico:Try rooting with FRAMAROOT installed on your phone. But on PC, download VROOT and enable USB debugging on your phone become connecting. |
jtenna:Try doing factory reset. |
natedroid:z10 boot animation logo can be searched for online and downloaded in a zip format.Then with CWM installed on your phone,your install it as an update. Albeit,it must be packaged in the same way the original files are. |
oluwapoju:Sometimes, those downloaded stock ROMs are incorrectly packaged.I prefer you get someone using your type of phone,backup the ROM using MTk droid tool and create the files to flash by clicking the !PREPARE BLOCKS FOR FLASHTOOL and then flash using SP FLASH TOOL. Bet this will work best for yo. |
whizbrain:Does it work with earphones? I'm guessing its a hardware problem. |
kwinsliy:Something definitely has gone wrong with the phone and I suggest a factory reset. |
wood4u2envy:Open Root Explorer, go to data, look for LOG-OTHER-MODE,delete all the files inside.Next go to system, look for drop box and do the same .Search for tombstones and delete everything in the folder. SD MADI APP works very cleanly too.Download the SD MADI PRO /SD MAID UNLOCKER to make it work wella.It is very clear, CORPSES FINDER, APP CLEANER, SYSTEM CLEANER are some of the buttons in it.
|
whizbrain:Factory reset is the reward for your fast fingers! |
B3sty:If the phone is rooted, download SD MAID APP AND SD MAID UNLOCKER PRO , analyze your phone using the buttons provided, sure it will help you clean up unwanted files. |
oluwapoju:Why format in the first place? Before formatting , did you make a backup of the Stock ROM? You don't just go about doing stuffs to your phone because you've some softwares to play with! I guess you formatted without ticking the ''FORMAT EVERYTHING EXCEPT BOOTLOADER'' option. FastFingers bro. Well, the only option for you is to look around for anyone using the same type of phone with you ,back it up and flash to your phones. Alternatively, search online, especially (forum dot dot com)! |
B3sty:Pretty easy to fix that bro.A blocked I.P has been written into the host file on your phone.Use ES FILE EXPLORER to browse the root of your device.Go to a folder named ''etc'' and open the ''host'' file using a text editor. Clear the second line, leaving only the line that contains 127.0.0.1.Save it and close.Go to your play store and boom.....you're there. |
wood4u2envy:"Some apps like"? No app is unmovable except system apps.I even deleted system apps that I don't fancy.If your phone is rooted, download ROOT EXPLORER ,go to DATA and click log_other_mode, delete all its content.Download SD MAID APP too and clean up unnecessary files. |
noblemusty:Yeah,its easily reversible. Search for imei.zip and download it.It contains the instructions on how to go about it. |
pronto543:Though factory reset maybe the best option, downloading apps that hibernate an app or prevents an app from accessing the network might be an alternative. Download these apps to do either of the two; 1. NOroot firewall 2. Greenify 3. Lucky app manager They can help you to freeze or completely disable an app. |
3face:Do a factory reset ASAP! |
obamaweezy:The battery connector might be the source of the unwarranted hiccup! Try changing it bro. |
drajjay:Replacing the touch pad should be your next line of action.Or try changing the orientation if the screen and download HOME BUTTON app from Google play.Move it to the good side of your screen after installing and the problem might be half-solved. |
melicent:Bro, stop spending your cash tracing this calcare guys or uncertified engineers! What you changed is just a part of the system files in your phone. All you need do is to back up your corrupted ROM on PC and then, the run st is history. I Bricked my phone while changing the boot animation and it gave me practical knowledge on how android technology as related to phones are packaged.I fixed my phone myself while I was charged #10,000 by Tecno Calcare!Imagine! So, download MTK DROID TOOL, PDANET AND SP FLASH TOOL. back up the corrupted ROM and I will upload the font system app to you which you will use to run place the corrupted one in your phone's backup and then flash back to the phone.That's all. |
noblemusty:If you are not going to use PC,then mobile uncle is the closest alternative. Use MTK DROID TOOL on PC using the NVRAM backup/imei button to back up and change OR download MOBILE UNCLE ENGINEERING app to change using your phone. There is also a software that can create imei files you can put in the root of your phone to replace the original imei.So, which way do you want to follow? |
factorial1:Try Framaroot, z4root |
athorello:Please,give me the link for the COE list. |
MoodysMood:Why not try using a system? Install PdaNet and Eroot on your system enable USB debugging root your phone |
Adrianpastol:Probably, there may be too much logs written on the root of your phone, ranging from kernel logs to event logs. Also,tombstones files are written every time an app crashes and drop box files are written countless times. Maybe this could help ; Root your phone download root explorer click Data and access the log_other-mode folder,delete all the contents or change permissions to read only by long pressing each of the files. Go to system,click Tombstone folder and delete all. also click drop box folder and delete all too. SD MAID APP is a very good app to clean your phone too of unnecessary files. |
factorial1:If the phone is rooted, just use ES FILE EXPLORER OR ROM TOOLBOX LITE app to access the ETC folder and open the HOST file using a Text Editor.Edit it by deleting anything inside,only leave the first line containing 127.0.0.1 local host.Save and exit.Restart your play store and you're good to go. |
ewizard1:Thanks bro.....but you know there are some Samsung devices that may have Mediatek Chip. MTK DROID can be substituted for ODIN but the procedure is almost the same. |
Jay14:Steps to root you android phone without a computer: Step 1: Download the Framaroot app from the link provided to your phone or computer. Step 2: Copy downloaded Framaroot app from your computer to your internal storage or external SD card. (follow this step only if downloaded to computer) Step 3: Enable ‘Unknown sources’. Go to Setting >Security and then check the box next to ‘unknown sources’. Step 4: Install Framaroot app from the apk file. Step 5: Open the Framaroot App and Select “Install Super Su” Step 6: Select an exploit. Every phone has a different exploit so don’t worry. First, try the first exploit. It will work for 90%. If you fail, don’t worry. Your phone has not bricked. Try the other exploits. Step 7: If you see a “Success … Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device” message then you have successfully rooted your phone. Step 8: If you see “Failed … Try another exploit if available ” message, don’t worry. Your phone has not bricked. Try the other exploits. If none work then your device is unsupported . Step 9: Once rooted (and rebooted), you can install a root checker, such as Root Checker , to verify whether your phone or tablet has been really rooted or not. Step 10: You will also find a new ‘SuperSU’ app icon (see screenshot). This will manage any ‘Superuser’ privileges that you grant to any apps (which is a fancy term for being able to access the root folder and other root functions) . This is mainly done automatically: many apps will detect that your device is rooted and request Superuser privileges, or will do so when you try to access functions that require root. You can manage these Superuser privileges from the SuperSU app (see screenshot). Step 11: If you need to access or manage your root folder, there is a FREE file management app, ES File Explorer but you will have to configure it for root access as detailed below (see screenshot). What happens if all exploits do not work? Will it cause any damage? No, it will not. Nothing, will happen except that your device will not be rooted . I tried to use ‘Framaroot’ to root my friend’s Lenovo A850+ unsuccessfully and moved on without changes to his device. You can install the app in your android device and check out if it works, the app won’t brick your phone as it does not touch your kernel, nor flash anything. |
pat077:Sure |
davibid:please download this app and beep me on whatsapp as soon as you have it NOROOT FIREWALL Android: Most of the apps on your Android device probably require a data connection, and you may not even know when they are sending or receiving data. NoRoot Firewall puts you in control of Internet access for apps, as well as how they can access it. As the name suggests, the app doesn't require you to root your Android. Instead, it creates a VPN and diverts all the traffic on your phone through it. This way, you can choose which traffic you want to allow and which you want to stop. When any app tries to access the Internet, you'll get an alert where you can allow or deny it and save the setting for the future. This level of control can also let you see when a certain app is accessing data for ads and block it. NoRoot Firewall also gives you the option to set up filters, both globally as well as for individual apps. Much like a VPN on your PC, these filters let you allow or deny connections to certain IP addresses. My favorite part of the app is in its ability to specify if an app can access the Internet only over Wi-Fi, only over 3G/Data, neither or both. It gives you the control to tell your Dropbox or Play Store to only download when you're on Wi-Fi, or set some other app to be active only on 3G. There's some bad news for 4G users though as NoRoot Firewall does not work well with 4G at the moment. And I'd like to issue a word of caution: while I'm using the app, those who are a bit careful about their privacy may not want an app that gets control over all the data transfers on their device. |
