Well.... Sorry I suggest searching XDA through GOOGLE and read the other hundred posts and suggested fixes regarding the issue. Try the different methods mentioned. There is one guy 'ODIA' that I have read, and seems to be the only one, who can fix this issue. But you have to pay him, give him access to your computer and the sensitive info on your phone. I tried helping somebody with about a dozen methods and none of them worked for him. But he had a null IMEI (all 0's) and his phone still worked.

One option is to flash to complete stock and take your phone to T-Mobile. Tell them it happened when using Kies mini to upgrade to GB. I read over and over that it has happened to people during that process which would not be your fault and they should help you fix it.
Good Luck!
ty for you time
i didwhat you say and they ask me if i have a phone line whit them ofcourse i dont so they say " just clients can have help from us , and i recomend you to TRASH that phone its TOO OLD!!!!!"
so ive make a guru thing transplan a nv_data.bin from a galaxy ACE to this and see what happend .

[Completed] [Q] MXIII 2gb/8gb custom ROM ... how to ??

Hi All ... nice forum u have here.
I m not sure wether Im in the right place, however I am intersted in learning about custom bootable roms.
I have an MXIII 2gb android based tv box .... and I wld like to know how exactly why i keep cooking a ROm with Android kitchen .... and i keep getting `verification failed` msg on rom update.
I probably need to replace the bootloader on the device ... but i dont know how.
I did also try by formatiing the sdcard with a partiton starting from cylinder #3 in fat32 format ... placing the files from android kitchen there ... with no sucess
For the record Im an ubuntu linux user by default ... I tried connecting to adb over tcp via terminal ... but im doing something wrong.
Tried the usb adb ... but ubuntu does not recognize the unit
Tried Android sdk ... but i cant load the factory Rom in it
what im really looking for is to make a minimalistic Rom that I can install from sd card easy
totally lost ... appreciate some help
Some pointers wld be really appreciated.
Hi,
You have already asked about this in the appropriate section. Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support. And you found your way already. ??
You'll need to be patient. Read some guides in the Chef Central section, or try googling this. It's not a popular device, so it may be hard to get answers from others.
Good luck! Thread closed.

[Completed] [Q] need help restoring from a full adb backup of non-rooted phone

Hello there,
I need some info on how or if it is possible to make use of my full adb restore file or I just throw it away and restart fresh of my device.
Device is allview viper v1 (16Gb) -
NO ROOT and not interested in rooting it.
I believe I made a few versions of good back-ups including at least one good full backup including apks by using UBT (1.3.2 version if I am not mistaking).
My problem: I can't restore the phone by using any of the created ab files by using adb which drives me nuts.
It's worth to mention that in between I upgraded the phone software from 4.2 to 4.4 by using the producer's update images... I did a factory reset with 4.4 and re-installed most of the apps I had. I even copied most of the data from a file-sync backup...
Every time I try to use adb restore I get to the screen to input (now 2 passwords which basically are the same), I get the message "restore starting" and quite fast "restore finished" on the phone screen though while using the full back-up I definitely see that adb is still accessing / reading the file for longer time...
What I tried further: I used abe (android backup extractor by tweaking their .sh script) to create both standard individual .ab-s but also kitkat compatible ones (with abe pack-kk) with no luck in restoring the apps and their data.
It is quite annoying since after converting to .tar and un-tar-ing I can see that the backups seem ok and I can even see the sqlite data and xml settings for the apps but I do not know how to import those to the new OS running on the phone.
I tried this using both USB storage, picture mode, etc., input only the desktop pass and afterwards inputing both of the asked passwords.
So the question is: can I restore the data (about 32Gb including the pics and docs) or should I delete all the "working" files I created and put it on the "learn by error"?
Should I try to downgrade to 4.2. (if it is even possible..) and try the adb restore there?
Cheers and thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device.
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck
Info about the device is available on the forums here - more or less related to the allview name since that's a re-branded phone - e.g. how to root it, how to flash it, how to recover from a broken state but that is not what I am interested in...
I guess it's more of an Android related question but might be a device issue too.
Nevertheless, I will take your advice and copy / paste the original post in Android Troubleshooting section.
Thanks.

[Completed] [Q] Kyocera Hydro, About crashes Settings and IMEI is null

Hi. I factory reset 4 Hydro's and when I try to go into Settings>About it crashes Settings with the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." I want to sell them and obviously this would be a problem for anybody that wants to activate them. I installed an app named Device ID - IMEI Checker and that says IMEI: null. Could the problem be related? Not sure where to post this problem. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try asking there but from extensive searching it seems the only way to fix this is to send them to Kyocera and have them wipe and re-flash the motherboard. I'm no expert but it seems like rooting and unrooting them permanently corrupts something. I also have 5 Kyocera Event's doing the exact same thing. I bricked one of the Hydro's last night so I'm down to 3 Hydro's and 5 Event's. I saved all the Hydro's system apps a while ago and just pasting them all into system/apps didn't work. So I thought deleting everything in system/apps before pasting them might work. lol Needless to say EVERYTHING crashed including ES File Explorer which was needed to paste the apps back in. Bootloop after that and into the trash it went. :laugh: I earned cashback on the phones which made them almost free but I thought somebody else might be able to use them since they can now be activated on FreedomPop for $19.99 and have free service every month. It's more of a loss for somebody else that could have used them and had free service every month for a one time fee. I won't sell them like this though. I can still root them but now they're just wifi devices.

Hi there,
It's a firmware security issue. You need to root to be able to save directly to sd.
