Make sure your question has not been answered in the OP (Opening Post) of each section of Development
Search Q&A for threads that may have been started for a particular rom
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I update my stock firmware?[/SIZE]1) Turn on WiFi or data
2) Go to Menu > Settings > About Phone.
3) Select firmware update
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What is a ROM?[/SIZE]A rom is like a custom firmware image that is made by a Developer either entirely from scratch, or based off of the official firmware package. Some ROMs contain simple changes like changing icons and adding extra options to things, other more complicated ROMs can change the entire Android experience. Which one you will want to flash, will be entirely up to you. Read carefully, and make sure you understand what you are getting into before you flash.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What is a Kernel?[/SIZE]A kernel is the heart of the device's OS. In simplest terms it’s a connection between your apps and your device’s hardware; i.e. the processor, RAM, etc. A custom kernel can dramatically change the way your device’s hardware performs… for the better and/or the worse]
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a Bootloader?[/SIZE]The bootloader is a program code that is executed before the device OS starts up, and that instructs that device to boot “normally”. The bootloader can come locked or unlocked from the manufacture. A unlocked bootloader will allow you to install custom ROMs & Kernels (as well as some other neat things) on your device.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What does Root/Rooting mean?[/SIZE]Put simply, Rooting your device allows you, and/or rooted apps, to access parts of the Linux based Android software that is your OS, and that you would otherwise not be able to access. These tasks can be as simple and beneficial as backing up your system setting, or as complicated as installing custom ROMs, Kernels, etc.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What is the purpose of rooting my device?[/SIZE]Please bear in mind, rooting can be dangerous and if done wrong "brick" your phone.
Rooting the phone is a decision made by individuals looking to improve upon the Android OS. There are many benefits, however it is done to customize the phone to it's full potential
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How do I root my LG G3? [/SIZE]Use one of the following methods, for KitKat or Lollipop.
Android version 4.x.x (KitKat)
[ROOT][IOroot] LG G3 4.4.2 Jailbreak
PurpleDrake-Lite!
[Root] Stump Root for LG Devices
Android version 5.x.x (Lollipop)
One click script
[ROM][STOCK][BUMP'd] LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 (+ extras)
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How do I remove root and return to factory stock. Why would I uninstall root?[/SIZE]The complete "Unroot" method, can be found here"
Removing root is normally a process used for a couple main reasons:
1) You've done something to the device and now it doesn't seem to be working.
2) You need to return the device or send it in for service.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and what is it for?[/SIZE]Please read [GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone. There is much to learn, please view everything in the threads OP
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How to I enter Download Mode and Recovery?[/SIZE]1) You must switch off the device to start the process.
2) Press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
3) Use the original USB cable. Other device USB cables may not be detected by the Computer. It is strongly recomended to use the original cable that came with the device.
4) Wait for the driver installation on PC.
5) You will now see the download mode screen on your phone.
6) Done
You can now do any process, such as, install stock ROM through your computer or laptop.
You can return to the normal mode by pressing and holding power button.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE while the update process is running. This can damage your device!
[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a "logcat" and how do I create one?[/SIZE]For setting up ADB see What is ADB (above) logcat allows us to log what the OS is doing, and possibly offer information if things are not working. its quite simple to create but may be difficult for most to understand. This is a tool a Developer may ask for in detecting issues your device may be encountering.
To use logcat
Code:
adb shell
logcat
To logcat to a certain file do
Code:
adb shell
logcat -d > /sdcard/whatevertexfileyoulike.txt
For a full explanation follow the link in What is ADB
[SIZE=+1]Q13: Is there an app that will help me create a logcat directly from my phone?[/SIZE]Yes, Apps for logcat can be found in Google play LINK Any one of these apps will work. It is recomended to use one with a good rating. YouTube also has step by step directions on how to use many logcat apps
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What does odexed and de-odexed mean and what is the difference between the two?[/SIZE]Please read HERE
[SIZE=+1]Q15: What is a Nandroid backup?[/SIZE]A Nandroid backup is a complete backup of your entire current operating system. It backs up the NAND flash, (this is the hard drive of your device). A Nandroid backup can mean the difference when you install a custom rom or when you play with the roots of your device, and something goes wrong.
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How do I make a Nandroid Backup?[/SIZE]In order to make a Nandroid backup, you must have a custom recovery installed.
From your phone, enter recovery mode and look for the ‘backup and restore’ click on backup and wait a few minutes until the process is done. It is best to save your Nandroid backups on the external SD card or on the PC to avoid erasing it by mistake. Performing a back up will NOT back up your external sd card and unless you choose to format your external sdcard, this will remain a safe place for this back up
[SIZE=+1]Q17: How do I restore a Nandroid Backup?[/SIZE]Enter recovery mode again and look for the ‘backup and restore’. Select restore and everything should go back to normal in a few minutes.
If you choose the ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you can select which component of the backup to restore – like the boot, system, data or cache.
Reboot system. Your system is now restored and is exactly same as the time when the backup was made.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: What is CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery) and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)?[/SIZE]They are recovery program's that allows you to backup / restore a full or partial system backup of your device. They also allow you to install flashable .zip files; which is one of the primary installation methods for custom ROMs. They also provides other features such as cache and delvik wiping, battery reset, and other processes. If you are thinking about flashing custom ROMs or just want a really good backup program, it's strongly advised that you to install one of these.
[SIZE=+1]Q19: Why does my battery drain so quick?[/SIZE]Please see HERE for possible steps that can help
[SIZE=+1]Q20: What is "Bloatware" (Bloated Software)?[/SIZE]Bloatware is all of the extra software applications that come pre-installed on your device (in addition to vanilla Android)–it can include any kind of application but some of the most notable examples are carrier apps and/or trial apps that you have to pay for after a certain time to keep using it. At best these apps can simply be taking up space on your phone, or at worst it can be running in the background without your knowledge and drain your battery
[SIZE=+1]Q21: How do I remove "Bloatware"?[/SIZE]Important: You will require root for the following process
Start by making a backup of all apps in your recovery.
Next read this tutorial, How to remove bloatware on AT&T LG G3
[SIZE=+1]Q22: How do I block "OTA" (Over The Air updates)?[/SIZE]Please follow these simple steps found here
[SIZE=+1]Q23: What is the best rom for my phone?[/SIZE]While you can ask this as many times as you wish, the only answer is: the one that works best for you! A rule of thumb is to visit a several rom thread's and view what is happening within these rom's. Eventually viewing a few roms will cause the urge to try one that looks good to you.
[SIZE=+1]Q24 What is the MD5, and what does it do?[/SIZE]It ensures that file's are downloaded correct and complete, in order to avoid issues when installing/using it.
[SIZE=+1]Q25 What does the term "Bump" mean?[/SIZE]

Coming from the nexus 5, these were some questions I had right away:
What does "Bumped" mean?
Can we root lollipop and if so, is it the same process? Do we still have to go back to kk to root?
Does anyone have the random dead spots in the digitizer where your touches aren't registered in certain spots for a while?
Great thread man

All done, except for "spots". I'm not aware of this issue on sock LG G3. If you have further info regarding this, I will gladly post what you find.

I just have a quick question Tony, after flashing a custom rom I plug the usb into my computer from the phone, and my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore. I just want to drag and drop some music files, but how can I make the computer read the phone again ?
So far I've checked that Im on MTP
Thank you

[HOWTO][ROOT] POV Protab 3XXL: upgrading, rooting & saving battery guide

So I recently bought a Protab 3XXL from vendor Point of View, and I noticed there wasn't much information to find on the internet for this tablet. So I had to figure out by myself how to get things done, and as an android beginner, that wasn't very easy. That's why I wanna create this guide for all you people who bought the same tablet and want to do the following things with it:
1. Upgrade to new firmware release
2. Root the tablet so you can uninstall bloatware and install some advanced apps
3. Save battery, make the tablet go faster and smoother.
This guide will probably work on other RK3066 devices as well. I'm in no way responsible if you brick your device by not following every exact step!
1. Upgrade the tablet to new firmware release
When I initially bought the tablet, the firmware that was installed was buggy as hell, so the first thing I did was install the new updated firmware from the Point of View download site. This made my tablet go a bit faster and save a bit more battery life. The manual on the site though doesn't give a great explanation on how to install new firmware. Here's how to do it easily:
Beware: upgrading your tablet will result in loosing all your data! Make sure you took backups before continuing! Also, make sure you got over 50% of battery life so the tablet doesn't die in the middle of the upgrading process.
Go to http://ow.ly/lSuza and download the latest firmware release (get the one with the latest date in the filename, do not install v1.1 as wifi doesn't work on that one, don't know why) and extract it.
For upgrading your tablet to a new release, you need your tablet to boot into flash mode. This is done by switching off your tablet, wait a few seconds, press the VOLUME UP button and (while still pressing that button) connecting your tablet to your pc. Windows will tell you it failed to install the drivers as none were found, that's because you have to manually point windows where to find the drivers. To install the drivers, follow the steps written in the manual (page 2-6) found on the same site as the firmware update.
Open up rkbatchtool.exe which is in the extracted folder from step 1. If all went well, you should see a green rectangle which means your tablet is correctly connected in flash mode. If this rectangle is pink or no color at all, connect your tablet again holding the volume up button.
Once you got the green light on rkbatchtool.exe, you're good to go and you can follow the steps written in the manual!
I tested this procedure on Windows 7, but I guess it should be about the same on any other Windows version. Just use the appropriate drivers as described in the manual That should be about it, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
2. Rooting the tablet
Rooting the tablet is even easier than upgrading it! Here's how to do it:
Go to www.moborobo.com. Download and install moborobo as this app will automatically search for the right drivers (other ones than the ones used to upgrade the device) when you connnect your tablet to your pc.
Make sure you got USB debugging enabled on your tablet (settings -> developers options -> usb debugging)
Open up Moborobo, connect your tablet the normal way (so without pushing the volume button) and let moborobo do the rest. If Moborobo doesn't do anything when connecting the device, click on 'refresh devices'. Installing the drivers may take a long time so be patiently (it took about 15 minutes on my laptop).
When the correct drivers are installed, download the tool to root your device from here: http://ow.ly/lSZtT
Don't worry, it's malware free and safe
Extract the zip and fire up SuperOneClick.exe.
Click on 'root'. Everytime a dialog comes up, press 'yes' or 'ok' a few times untill it says your device is rooted.
Disconnect your tablet and check if superuser is installed, that's it
3. Some battery advice
All Android tablets last about a day and have to be plugged in by the evening, and the Protab is no exception for that! These are some tips to make your battery last longer (most tips are for rooted devices, so make sure you root your tablet first!)
Greenify is a great app to save some battery. Watch what it does and how to use it over here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW81YJME69U. This saved my battery a lot!Download it in the playstore!
Android tablets still have some leftovers from their sibling phones, and that's causing TONS of battery drain. To get rid of the phone functions and a better explanation head over to this guide (very easy to follow): http://ow.ly/lT0ZV
There are a bunch of better home screen launchers out there which are less battery-consuming than the stock android launcher (which the Protab has). My advice is Smart Launcher (or the pro version). This launcher is really smooth, fast and has a clean minimalistic look! Get it at the Playstore: http://ow.ly/lT1yX
Rom Toolbox by jrummy is a great app to execute some root tasks like uninstalling bloatware (software installed by Point of View like their useless keyboard). Head over to the Playstore to download it! Beware of what you're uninstalling, if you uninstall core android apps, it could mess up your system! If this happened, flash your device again as explained in the beginning of this thread.
I use my tablet a lot for reading pdf-files for school. As most pdf-readers have a white background, this drains a lot of battery (the lighter the colors on your screen, the more battery it drains). Moon Reader has an option to read pdf's in night mode (turns the background dark and the words white). This saves a lot of battery and is way easier to read! Head over to the playstore to download it.
As I already said in my previous tip: white colors drain a lot of battery. Therefore, use a dark wallpaper on your home screen!
Always use the lightest apps possible for a task. For example: Chrome browser for Android is a very heavy app which can be perfectly substituted by Boat Browser Mini (a lightweight browser that works blazingly fast). Try and google 'lightweight ........... for android' to see what the best alternatives for a heavy app are!
If someone has other tips for conserving some battery life, be sure to write it in the comments, I'll include it in this list!
If anyone has a better way of solving things or has anything to add to this guide, feel free to let me know

Searched everywhere, but couldn't find any specifically for this tablet. I found a site which stocks many custom roms for the same chip this tablet has (Rockchip RK3066), didn't test any though so I really don't know if they would work:
Code:

If there would be enough demand, I could try and make one myself

Hello,
my mother owns a ProTab 3 XXL. Since yesterday the tablet is not starting any more. I tried the reset button and several combinations with the front buttons.
i also checked the voltages:
- charger: 5,2V
- battery when charger disconnected: 4,3V
- battery when charger connected: 4,3V
is there something wrong? How can i fix the tablet?
thank you very much,

Hi,
I need backup/dump for protab 3 xxl, v1.1 (I think any v1.x will do). It has cwm installed already, but user did not backup official rom before changing roms, so now its bootlooping, and no way to flash anything on it. I think last resort is restoring official rom dump. Or maybe some other ROMs if someone can provide dump of it. If size is problem, PM me, I can provide way to upload big files. Thanks in advance!!

Thank you very much. Downloaded already but have trouble entering cwm. What is correct procedure to enter cwm? Releasing power button and pressing and holding volume up and down when point of view logo appears? I tried almost every combination of keys and no way to enter it. Could be cwm got deleted when I tried to install some rk3066 rom for archos tablet. I dont believe it, but that would be logical explanation as to why I cannot enter it.
Last hope will be trying maskrom mode, by shorting nand chip and hoping it shows up in rkflash tool.

I am not using button combo, coz I have app for reboot to recovery. I will try it.

ANDROID TERMINOLOGYThanks to @benjamingwynn with his great quick DefinitionsADB - "Android Debug Bridge" a system that can be accessed using a computer where you can manage the device from. You need the Android SDK to use it.
AOSP - "Android open source project" a project by Google Inc. to give android to developers and manufactures for free.
APK - "Android Package" an Android application
Bloatware - Software or 'apps' that you don't need, but come preinstalled to a device's /system partition, meaning that you cannot remove them unless the device has been rooted. Usually, these are apps are sponsored by a company and included by a carrier for profit
CDMA/GSM - A type of network communication between phones and carriers. GSM phones normally are included with SIM Cards that authorize them onto the network. CDMA have this authorization built in and do not need a sim card.
Custom recovery - A modified version of stock recoveries that allow you to do more things in the recovery mode.
Cyanogenmod (CM) - A free open-source project based on the AOSP. It is a modded version of the Android firmware
Dalvik-Cache - Holds all of the pre-compiled .dex files created from installed apps. These files are static and do not change unless the app is updated.
Deodexed - Where ODEX files are moved into the actual applications modded) version of the Android firmware.
Developer - A man or woman who has created (developed) software.
Firmware - a piece of software to make hardware function correctly. This can refer to Radio Firmware, but is normally used as another name for ROM.
Governor - A system embedded into the kernel to automatically change the current working CPU frequency depending on the workload. It would only go up to what it is overclocked (or underclocked) to, this is called the maximum frequency. It would not drop below the minimum frequency.
KANG - The process of creating a code based of someone else's code.
Kernel - An important part of all operating systems that handles the CPU and other vital components. A modded kernel may be used for overclocking.
Logcat - A logging system built into the ADB
Mod - A modification to a part of the phones software. It is also POSSIBLE to mod the phones hardware but is not recommended.
OTA - "Over the air" a term used to indicate software that was sent to phones directly through the internet to their phones.
Open-source - (not to be confussed with free) A peice of software that is free to edit, use, distribute and share with no charge.
Overclock - To exceed the default maximum CPU speed. This could make a phone more powerful but may cause damage. Although no damaged has been reported so far it could still drain battery life.
Radio Firmware - A type of software that allows correct communication with the radio and the operating system. A newer firmware would normally improve battery life and call quality. The radio firmware only applies to the CDMA/GSM radio.
Radio - (not to be confused with Radio Firmware) A piece of hardware that allows communication. There are 3 main radios in your phone. Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM/CDMA.

Underclock - To change your phones maximum frequency to LOWER than the default to attempt to extend the phones lifespan and battery.
WIP - "Work In Progress"
Zipalligned - An archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
INTL - International
Odex - Files that are collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
Recovery Mode - A special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes

I see all the files & mods are T-Mobile variant. Anything for AT&T?
Nevermind. As usual AT&T has locked the bootloader

@blue5055 if you are interested in unlocking your bootloader, you can try the tmobile tutorial one. I can tell you this, I do not think it is unlocked so it wont do anything. The reasons most of the mods are for tmobile is cause they require root...and since tmobile is the only one with root at the moment, the mods are labeled as such. If ATT acquire root than I will add. But if anything not labeled for tmobile it will work for you [which will be all non root at this point].
I am only collecting what is around the forum, sadly I am not the one making the mods and files.

Subscribed. Thanks.

Update:
Added Unbrick section
Updated Mods section along with guides
Also added in Discussion of interest

Thank You!!
Beautiful!!! ...and thanks for the thread too, very useful and well put together.

Added second screen fC with xpose. Give the OP a thank you @tattedup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/xposed-fixes-screen-t3246515
And thank you @Kilokk

Just wanted to post a heads up, and maybe it can be added to the op, but flashing the xposed Uninstaller zip file will hard brick your device. It happened to mine and luckily I was able to get it replaced. But I was unable to even boot to fastboot or download mode.

I was just curious if there is a step by step on how to root this device. I'm coming back to an LG device so any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

POST#3 where it says "Tools, Recovery, Bootloader, Root" It's near the top of that portion of the guide... LOL it's the 3rd topic on that post. :silly:

root method
There isn't a link on the root section, just a link to the root developers profile. I actually need INSTRUCTIONS not needing to know who's responsible for initially rooting the device.

The link is for the TWRP thread. It will show you how to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then install SuperSU thereby giving you root... and this is for T-Mobile only at this time as far as i know
It's what I followed to get root
edit: there is a separate link (same post) for unlocking bootloader... that needs to be done first, then do the TWRP link to install recovery and SuperSU

There is a look towards rooting the tmobile v10, under where it states root. The confusion was I forgot to change TWRP to ROOT...it is there now.

Hi mellomade,
Thanks for this ... I'm using another phone now running Lollipop, but still have the A760 running unofficial CM11.0. as a backup, I've downloaded all files, and will give it a go at a later date ... I'm between cataracts eye operations right one fixed, left should be done soon, I can't get new reading glasses until then, so I'm struggling with anything close-up right now. ...Jack

mellomade ... The A760 has always worked well for me, I wouldn't scrap it, I only have the newer one because it came as a present ( so far it's been equally as good).
I've been studying the instructions, and guess steps 1-9 install the new TWRP recovery, the new ROM installation is then normal TWRP procedure.
I do have TWRP recovery v.2.6.3.0 already installed, but I'm sure it isn't compatible with latest android versions, so no chance of an install via that
It will be interesting to see if others from the old thread pick up your link.Thanks again. .. Jack

Great! Actually, Starting from lollipop, rom installs require larger internal space. Since we barely have sufficient space for system on our A760, the internal storage needs to be repartition (done by HDD Raw copy tool). Luckily the provided image 'Lenovo_A760.imgc' will automatically install the updated recovery TWRP 2.8.7 (compatible for the rom install) so we dont have to.
I do think others from the old thread already shifted to other phones

The QPST link given is no more. Any chance you have another download link? Preferably one without malware, as there seems to be some of them floating around.
Thanks

GM mellomade,
I have CM13 flashed OK now + the updated recovery, I'm finding heavy it on battery consumption,
mine loses 25% overnight with no additional apps installed as yet.
This is much higher than the unofficial CM11 Rom I have been using,
I've restricted some of google services in Privacy guard, this has helped a little
but I see no other way of reducing battery drain.
How do you find yours ?, and any suggestions please ?. ... J.

I was having the same experience too. I use Greenify App from play store, and put ALL apps into hibernation, except the one I required their notification to be alive (e.g; WhatsApp). That helps too. I guess that is one of disadvantages having an unofficial build, because it is not natively supported for our phone. Hence the high battery drain issue. On the bright side, we get to experience the latest (even though not updated) ROM :victory:

OK, Thought I may have a problem with ROM download, I did try a reflash which didn't help any. I'll try Greenify later, one thing I like about this ROM is the minimal system apps used (no bloatware).
My present phone (X-BO 06) running Lollipop, has a setting which allows the phone to switch off/on automatically overnight which is great for battery saving, I must see if i can find an app that does the same. Thanks again for the info. ... J. :highfive:

No no no. I think you may have misinterpreted my message there. I did mention, on our official rom, which is 4.1.2, the A760_1_A_2_0057_130828 updates from Lenovo. Sadly not on this unofficial cm build. However you can check out greenify, it does makes a lot difference if you hibernate unused apps. Hence, if this is your secondary phone, you may even hibernate all apps (which can significantly reduce battery consumption) without have to worry about any incoming notifications, am I right.

[ROOT][TWRP][OUTDATED] Oppo R9S (China edition) exploit and TWRP flasher

This tool is out of date. See the main R9S thread for an updated tool by Wu Xianlin which gives you an improved TWRP recovery and access to more ROMs.
Original post is below for historical purposes only.
Oppo R9S (Chinese version) TWRP installation tool
Only works on Chinese OS release 005 which can be downloaded here and flashed in stock recovery.
Earlier versions will not work, nor will later versions. It has to be this specific version.
P̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ doesn't work on international editions either.
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.01
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0
Changelog
1.01 - Tweaked timings to try and improve success rate
1.01 - Changed how text is output to hopefully improve appearance on Windows 7
This script uses an exploit by Chinese developer Wu Xianlin to gain temp root, then it flashes his TWRP build that works on the R9S despite the locked bootloader.
From there you can attempt to perma-root your phone, install a custom ROM etc. etc.
Thanks to the following XDA members, without whom this would not have been possible:

Antivirus issues
Some AV's may complain about this file containing a Trojan. They are technically correct. It's called "dirtycow" and is being used in the wild to hack into Linux systems. It cannot affect Windows systems, but I use it to hack a linux-based system (your phone)
If your AV refuses to let my script run you will have to disable it temporarily. Feel free to read through my script (root1.bat) to check what it is doing.

Useful things to flash in TWRP
CyanogenMod13 - by Wu Xianlin
Stock Recovery - by Wu Xianlin
GApps (ARM64) - by opengapps.org
Updated basebands, ripped from ColorOS
Use these only if you have issues with phone/GPS/etc. after installing CM. Otherwise leave alone.
[2017-01-11 v0180] - released ROM (China) - by me!
[2017-01-24 v1470] - ALPHA ROM (China) - by me!
Note: The version number on basebands stays the same, but the MD5s are different. No idea what has changed, but they work!

Unbrick instructions:
Does not work in Windows 10. Tested working in Windows 7
Download this unbrick package
Install the quallcommmtkdriver package
Run daanav-enabler as administrator
Run msmdownloadtool as administrator
Click through any timeout error you get
Click on the titlebar of MSMDownloadTool and press F6 to enable the options
Fully power down your phone by holding vol-, vol+ and power for 10 seconds
Hold vol- and vol+ while connecting the USB cable (use the stock Oppo cable)
MSM should now show your phone.
Press F5 to decide what to flash. For the first attempt choose "All except userdata".
Click the start button.
After 5 minutes your phone should reboot into ColorOS.
If ColorOS hangs on boot, then repeat the above staps and this time flash all, including userdata. This will wipe your photos etc. sorry!
This will leave you on V004 of the OS. You will need to upgrade to 005 before attempting to root again.

Can I request a version of this that stops at permanent rooting? Unless you think there would be a problem with the fact that I intend on using it on a r9s plus.
Or a link to what I maybe overlooked, in case it already exists.

Unfortunately this program doesn't perma-root. It gains a temp root and uses that to flash TWRP. TWRP can then be used to flash a custom ROM or a rooting tool.
It also doesn't unlock the bootloader. Wu Xianlin somehow managed to make a version of TWRP that the locked bootloader is happy with!
however if you edit root1.bat and scroll down to line 181. Change it from:
Code:
type root3.txt | adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
to:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
Then the script will just drop you to a root shell. Unfortunately you are then on your own as to how you get perma-root.
I have no idea whether this method will work on the R9SPlus. In theory it should do but I've not tried it. I won't be held responsible if you brick your phone and probably won't be able to help, though you should be able to do a three-finger reboot and then boot into recovery and reflash ColorOS.
Optional modifications you can make that will make the script neater:
You can also remove lines 178 and 179
Code:
echo Copying TWRP
adb push r9s-twrp-3.0.2.0-20170107.img /sdcard/twrp.img
and change line 184 from
Code:
pause
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
to
Code:
pause
exit
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----

I will take your "I have no idea if this will work fo r9s+" at face value and try to be patient for something more certain, thanks for your contribution nonetheless
I saw the translation you posted and am a bit depressed Wu recommended to return the phone...

Oppo make amazing hardware but terrible software that is never updated. I used to be ok with this because they actively encouraged rooting and custom ROMs but this change in attitude from them makes it very hard to recommend the phone.
I would be interested to know if this exploit does gain root on the Plus. In theory it should work, and there's also a decent chance that TWRP will too as the hardware is very similar, but will require someone very brave/stupid to try it

BTW. Anyone who is going to try this on the Plus. Ensure you have a flashable .ozip of a working ColorOS (full install, not OTA) saved to internal storage as the stock Oppo recovery is a POS that doesn't provide ADB, MTP or USB.
If you end up wrecking your OS and don't have that image in place ready to flash from recovery you are screwed.
Likewise do not flash TWRP until you are sure that your OS is still bootable, and also take a dump of the stock recovery first! (and post it in the other thread as it's bloody useful to have!)

Hi the Unbrick pack RAR is corrupted and can not unzip.
Also there is Trojan in DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0 - Dirtycow file and the NOD Antivirus is deleting this file.
Please advice how to proceed ?

NOD is correctly detecting that this is a hacking tool using a well known exploit (dirtycow).
Since you actually want to do that, you're going to have to disable NOD until you're done.

You need to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik as CM won't install on top of incompatible data.
Note that this will wipe your installed apps, settings, app data, saved games etc. but will not wipe your photos, music, downloads or anything else saved to internal storage.
You may wish to take a backup from within TWRP first. Apps like Titanium Backup and Nandroid Manager are reasonably good at restoring apps and data from a TWRP backup.
Also don't forget to install GApps

For the unbrick package you need 7-Zip to extract it.

Sorry for the English, I made a mess with the phone, after unlocking everything, and held the phone for several days with CM13, I saw that GPS was not working, so vovelo return to the origin, but now I can not installing Stock Recovery more to put the stock rom, I tried to do unbrick, but when I press start of msmdownloadtool, the program stops and closes. If some kind soul gives me some advice. Done everything under win 7 reset. Thank you so much Gianfranco.

GPS should be working. I'm using it all the time on CM13 as my phone is my satnav.
Maybe wipe and reflash, or try one of the baseband updates?

I installed through the files Stock TWRP Recovery as a boot, and I hand the boot source and installing the original rom, after the reboot remains on oppo screen. what can I do. Thank you so much Gianfranco.

hold all three buttons for 10 seconds to forceibly power off the phone and then try to boot to recovery.
If you get the Oppo recovery then try to do a factory reset and then flash the stock ROM,
if you get TWRP then try to flash Cyanogen.
If you can't do either then you're going to have to run the unbrick tool. Do you have another PC you can try it on?

Thanks, but I have tried various solutions, when I install the boot ROM from stock, is successful, the reboot hangs installation applications. I wanted to know if you can other software for unlocking. Thank you very much for giving me some advice, thanks ancora.Gianfranco.

[AQT80] Sprint Slate 8 (Quanta ANS_NKS AQT80) Development Thread (Root, Recovery, etc...)

CAN someone Please Give Me A Good Link or description on how to Get past the FBR on My Slate AQT80 I got it from a homeless guy Audcart Figuei out

I have one of these with Android 5.1.1. It will not update anything using Wi-Fi.
It won't show up in Windows Explorer when USB is set to MTP.
It's currently sitting stuck on the powered by Android screen after I turned it on while holding volume down. Should have used volume up. Will try that after it runs down overnight and I recharge it.
Got it free with a slightly swelled battery. Spent $25 on a new battery so $^&"it I want the damn thing to work. The display is quite nice so it should be good for ebooks at least.

Sprint Slate 8 (ANS_NKS AQT80) 8 Inch Tablet
Files: Google Drive
<Includes dumps of stock boot, recovery, splash. Attempted TWRP 3.6.0 build>
I recently had one of these ancient tablets come into my possession, and like any good nerd, I set out to hack it as much as possible. Admittedly, I knew that this would be an uphill battle, given the relative unpopularity of this particular slate, limited resources, and nonexistent documentation. However, I have made some progress, which I'll share here for the benefit of the community. Some of the information here was collected from other threads that I found scattered about via Google. <This thread also serves as a subtle "call-to-arms" for anyone who happens to have access to this device and has the ability to assist in testing recoveries and ROMs for this device in the future. I have access to one, currently, and know where I can locate another. My Android development skills are moderate, but limited, as I have next to no experience with custom ROM creation, or low-level Android systems. Mentor-ship would also be appreciated.>
Rooting
Rooting this device can be accomplished with Kingo Root (I downloaded the APK from the offical website, be sure to enable Unknown Sources for APK installation). Once rooted, you can remove Kingo Root and update SuperSU to 2.49. This should give you root access to install EX File Explorer/Root Uninstaller to debloat Gapps/Facebook/Sprint carrier apps, which speeds up the device nicely.
Recovery
I've been attempting to make a working TWRP for this device using this guide and while I have an image that flashes and boots, it has notable issues with touch input that make it unusable for anything important. I've included a link to Google Drive where I've backed-up the most recent bootable image. Once you have root, you can install the Official TWRP app to flash IMG files to recovery. Always be sure to back-up stock recovery before flashing anything. My stock recovery dump has worked for me, but might not work for you. </Disclaimer>
Custom ROMs
<None currently exist. Future plans include a Marshmallow or Nougat-based build that has better app support than Lollipop. Interestingly, the stock app payload includes both Trebuchet Launcher and CyanogenMod File Browser. Perhaps this tablet shipped with an OEM variant of CM12? More investigation is needed.>
Other Info
Other users have reported that running this device as WiFi-only (no SIM card inserted) leaves a constantly-visible NO SIM notification. I was able to remove this by uninstalling the Sprint-provided apps and phone dialer. Also, enabling Airplane Mode and then re-enabling WiFi and Bluetooth will improve performance and battery life noticably.
I've been unable to replace the boot splash, as this device apparently uses a splash partition and I'm not sure what format the image that I dumped might have and how I could replace it. This dump is also included in the Drive link.
Notably, I have had some issue with getting fastboot commands to work properly on this device. Some commands work while others fail at the remote end. I've tried to track down the issue, trying different versions of platform-tools as well as ADB driver packages. In the event that I accidentally break recovery or system, having fastboot working as a failsafe is a key priority.
I've also managed to locate the website for Quanta which lists a slightly-updated variant of this specific device. I have attempted to reach out to them via their contact email to see if they might provide a copy of the stock firmware at release. This might help with porting a newer version of AOSP.
Future Posts will include more details about installed apps and other information, as uncovered. canc

I've also come across one recently and would be more than happy to help you test ROMs or recovery custom images.

I have one of these, would love to have a newer Android version with no bloatware and ignore the cellphone radio.
