[Completed][Q] Restart issues on G5 G9 with Android 4.2.1 firmware - XDA Assist

Hello,
I have an MTK6589 phone GFive G9 phone with 4.2.1 Android version firmware custom added on the phone (not part of the settings coming with the phone). More information about the version is in the attached screenshot.
Generally, the phone is working fine but I have been experiencing issues with random restarts when using the phone. This happens approximately once a day, the phone freezes for around 10s and then restarts and continues working normally.
I believe that this is relate do some of the apps I have installed on the phone, but I am uncertain which ones or if this assumption is correct. I would like to get to the root of the problem, could you help me determine what is causing this issue? Is there any log files that could help me with this?
Do you have any suggestions on the best approach to determine the reasons for this happening?

Hi,
If you are able, you could try clearing cache in your recovery . Otherwise it could be an app possibly ...but the only way to track that down is the process of elimination .
Also, custom roms can often have some glitches.
Feel free to ask for help here though,

[Completed] TPT NVflash need direction

Good morning All!
This is my first post here, hopefully I post in the right place. I have an old TPT, perfect device for my kids, all it need to do is run Zoodles. Was running fine with CM9, then one day, a couple of months back, it got stock on the Lenovo boot splash. Was getting ready to move so it made it in a box.
Trying to fix it now. Nut looks like I am in need of some advice and direction.
This is what I have done so far.
Boot into recovery kernel and tried to restore from my backup I had done before putting CM9 on it. Tried factory reset, None of which works.
The closest I got is with the restore of my backup, then when It rebooted, Ut got past the first Lenovo boot splash, we see Nvidia splash, then Animated Lenovo splash start, then device turns off and then back on.
Within the recovery kernel when I look at the logs, there is complaints about /data being in read-only mode during restore. I cannot unmount or format /data.
I think at this stage my best chance is to restore to stock with NVFlash. I am a little uncomfortable doing this without some advice first.
I am trying to find the model details of the device, but needless to say that being my kids tablet, all stickers are gone. I do have the device open but I am unable to track a; model number inside.
Could anyone assist? I am a professional IT, but My android knowledge is limited.
Thank you.
Hi!
Unfortunately without knowing the exact model, you have no idea what is safe to flash.
Because you can't get into into the system...no help there. Most devices have model numbers inside by the battery.
I'd Google any numbers you do find inside, until one leads you to your device. But you need to be 1000% certain before flashing firmware....if you flash the wrong firmware, chances are the device will hard brick and that will be the end of it.
Not sure what we can do to help really. You can ask in the general Q&A section, but be careful what advice you take. No one can guess what device you have, and if anyone suggests firmware based on a guess....don't flash it. Maybe someone can help you determine without a doubt what model it is tho...

Yes, its a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet 1 (TPT)
If its Lenovo think pad, then you need to ask here....and specifically state the model number you found. You probably need to return it to stock, so you need to find out how to do that, and where to find the firmware for your exact model. Don't use anything not specifically for your model. The guys in the Lenovo section know those devices best, hopefully they can help.

[Completed] [Q] Huawei G750-U10 unknown IMEI and Baseband

Hello there everybody!
So I've recently bought my phone "Huawei G750-U10" running on this ridiculus MT6592 chipset.Since I just could not stand the stock 4.2.2 JB ROM I decided to flash a ported version of "Huawei G750-T00" KK ROM for my device (found it on some German website I guess "android-hilfe.com" if I'm not mistaken).Any way I flashed the damn thing after so many difficulties and literally EVERYTHING has gone better since 4.2.2 except for the fact that I cannot make calls due to the IMEI problem.Wifi works more consistantly ,bluetooth speed has improved slightly,and normally on 4.2.2 I'd have only around 800 MB of free RAM but It's increased to 1.1 GB of free RAM.I mean it's just pissing me off knowing that such a thing so tiny can ruin the day.I've Googled my problem , searched every each site you could think of but I don't seem to be able to get anywhere with it.The only thing I've not dared to do was reflashing a downloaded stock rom again (that just seem a little bit frightening) so to put this in a nutshell I've 3 questions:
1-Will I be able to fix this problem at all?
2-If so any working solutions for this specific version?
3-And will I be able to regain my baseband through flashing a downloaded stock rom?
P.S: Please post newbie-friendly comments.I'm not a pro! xD
Thanks for your sincere help in advance.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Short answer, no.
Long answer, there has to be a lot of similarities between two devices in order for them to be capable of sharing the same firmware (or ROM). Bare minimum, they must have the same chipset and partition layout, or you will end up hard-bricked (something noone ever wants). The rest of the hardware has to be the same (or similar) too, or you will get a bootloop after installing, or less often, a feature that won't work.
The only time I have seen a ROM closely matching two devices is when two models are made by the same manufacturer, and even then, there are subtle glitches in the function of that ROM for the other device (such as auto-rotate not working).
At any rate, you can create an account, and post a thread in > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting asking if there are any ROMs, or plans for ROMs for this device.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

[Completed] Found Prestige 7G, time to experiment.

Greetings:
I found an old Visual Land Prestige 7g in my sisters house. I was thinking of converting it into a remote control BUT now I would like to know if it would be possible to load it with a android 5 or 6 ROM and use it for games and movie viewing for my grandson. Yes pokemon go for him grrrr. Anyway, i have searched some days but there is no definite successful way on these forums to do this. I have tried several tools to root it to no avail (vroot, iroot, oneclickroot, seapod). I also read somewhere it is already rooted but the apps say otherwise. I would like to be pointed to the right direction, or if anyone has done it to explain, what tools i can use to do a recovery or a straight ROM flash to simply wipe the whole factory crap and obsolete system and load either a stock android version or a custom ROM version so the tablet is not so slow and laggy and becomes usable once again. Maybe a ROM that works for the same kernel and build number.
This is what happens when one finds a piece of hardware and a freak like me wants to get the best out of it, its a compulsion. By teh way, i am not the most expert person but i can handle my own, just don't go into a very complex or advanced discussion on tablet or phone things to do. Thanks for any help.
model number: prestige 7G
Android version : 4.1.1
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+
Build Number: JRO03C.20130731.V006

Hello,
Try a hard reboot or maybe flashing the firmware again if that helps.
We don't own the device so it is difficult for us to know what's causing it.
You may post your query here [Q&A] Noob -Friendly Q&A Help Thread - Ask Your Questions Here! with all relevant details, the experts might be able to help you in figuring out the issue.
