Hello guys, how are you?
I am having a problem ... how can i change an android device name?
For comparison, when you set up a computer you need to give it a name ... i want to do the same on my android.
how can i do it?
I ask this because i am using Remote Desktop App from Microsoft, to do a Remote Desktop Connection to a Windows Server.
But, i have a program installed in that windows server that needs to pre-authorize the device-name in order to acess that program. At the moment whenever i try to open that program i get the message "unable to open because D5803-4.4.4" it's not authorized. (D5803-4.4.4 i assume it's my android device name), so i need to change that D5803... to an authorized name.
I found that if i run a terminal emulator and do:
> su
> getprop net.hostname
> setprop net.hostname <new_hostname>
this changes the hostname ... but the results are the same, my device name stays the same.
help?
thanks!
anyone?please help its urgent
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I don't think the device name is actually the root of the problem that you're experiencing, I'm pretty sure merely changing it won't fix your problem. Anyway, it's been a few days since you posted, have you fixed the issue?
PS. Please don't bump a thread any more than once in a 24 hour period, refer to the XDA Forum Rules for more information.
No response in two days, thread closed.

I have tried everything to get a one click solution to enable non-market apps. First and foremost I am on a MAC. No access to a windows machine. I have my phone rooted and have installed superuser status.
I am looking for a solution that will let me install (easily) non- market applications. There appears to be several solutions doing this on a windows machine. I have not been able to find a solution on a MAC. And instructions, help, videos anything is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: not a total nube, but I have limited knowledge of the root directory and manipulation, but follow instructions well ........
What firmware are you on? Because if you are on the leaked 2.2 you should look on the leaked ji6 hacks forum page and it will give you the instructions that you can run in adb shell in the terminal application on a mac you just have to type ./adb (command) where windows users just have to type adb (command) you should make sure that you are comfortable on adb though because there are hardly any tutorials for adb on a mac around. I found that the hard way. Hope this helps, if you still can't figure it out post more info and I will do my best to help although I am still kinda a noob to android development.

Thank for the help, I will look at thie ji6 hack and see if it works. I'll let you know. Right now I have spent 3 days trying to unlock this pile of dung. ATT should be shot for doing this people. We bought the phone let us put what we want on it. PERIOD
Have you tried ADB? If you can get ADB to work, you should have the skill to copy over the settings.db and use the SQLeditor for Firefox plugin. Or use SQLite on the phone.
Read up on how to enable sideloading - the same commands that work on windows work on a mac - or very similar. As long as you know how to copy files in terminal you should be set.
Hi. I have a Symphony Xplorer ZIII (factory rebranded from Gionee E-Life E7 Mini) set that is running on android 4.2.2 with superuser permissions enabled, with no problems until today.
Firstly, Play Store was unable to connect (over both 3G and wifi). Clearing cache, etc. for Play Store, Services and other apps did not help. Rollback to factory Play Store did not help as that did not connect either. Then I did a factory reset.
Now, on every boot up it asks for my gmail account as usual, but does not "establish a reliable connection to the server" and is stuck between this screen and the Select WLAN screen. Again, both 3G and wifi are available for use.
Phone is USB responsive, OS is working bar the connection issues. I'd like to perhaps install Kitkat or a custom rom like Cyanogen in the process. What should I do? All user data has been backed up to laptop and cloud, so anything goes.
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device.

Hello, it's me. I started this thread earlier but I found a solution. For reference:
1. After a reboot, "Not Now" was selected upon the prompt to add a Google account.
2. The phone is still rooted as before, so I downloaded the apk Total Commander and installed it, granting superuser permissions.
3. Using Total Commander, located file -> File system root / data / etc / hosts
4. Using Total Commander, opened using the Edit option and added a #
That is,
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.39.86.171 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
was changed to
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.39.86.171 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
5. Saved file and rebooted phone, all Google account addition prompts connected perfectly with the server afterward.
Thread closed, thank you.

Update okay finally after hours of searching and trying a few commands I got adb to accept all commands however phone still says "obtaining ip address" forever. Any ideas?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. What are you trying to do? Messing with system folders and files can lead to your device not working properly.

At the moment I am just trying to get my phone to connect to my wifi at home.
It is an Alcatel one touch Fierce 2 using Android 4. 4. 2
when I enter my wifi password it continually says obtaining IP address. I was trying something that I read on this site and was not having a lot of luck.
so hopefully we can figure out what's going on

Hi,
First of all Device specs :
Device : Quantum QPulse 100s (Not chinese, its middle eastern company)
Processor : Intel Celeron N2805 1.46GHz
RAM : 2GB
OS : Windows 8.1 Pro, Android 4.2.2 (Dual Boot)
So as the title says, i need to root my android, here goes my story...
I tried so many methods to root but was unsuccessful
Here are the points to first notice :
1. Android is a custom built android but build id matches with nexus phone ( idk why )
2.There is NO BOOTLOADER.
More on that :- The tab itself is a mini PC, and i found out it has BIOS, and in the BIOS I found 2 options,
a) EFI BOOT
b) Windows management blah something we are not interested right now.
I found out that android has an EFI boot and we can go to the EFI SHELL but i found no use of that.
3. You CANNOT connect it to a PC using a USB cable.
Ask why ? Because the tab itself is a host system and in no way can you connect a host to another host. Except maybe networking.
Now for the INTERESTING Things WE can USE :
I found a way to mount all the android partitions on the windows os and I can write to those partitions.
Now i did place supersu.apk, su, busybox to the folders they need to be, but in android terminal app it says su permission denied.
Probably some permission problems. I have tried giving chmod in terminal app and moving those files to system/bin later. But didnt work
Also no root apps, such as Kingroot, Towelroot etc are working.
Beware again - You CANNOT use USB using methods.
I need root so i can install gapps, and also because i like root.
So, I need The XDA help
Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
There is no forum specifically for your device but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck
waiting...
3 day bump.. awaiting any useful reply..
I dont want anyone to go deep into the device but it would be useful to tell me how to root a android, whose partition is accessible from another OS ( windows 8.1 )
Please wait for answers in the Q&A forum.
Try using the generic tools like Framaroot, Kingroot, and so on...

Forenote: I believe I am in the correct forums section but If I am not, please redirect me. Thanks.
My phone is rooted. I have kingroot installed.
I am trying to spoof my mac address on my android for wifi. I have downloaded just about every app on the Playstore that has to do with automatic MAC spoofing/changing. I have gotten two apps to work. The app "MacSpoofer" (and another app I cannot remember) that have appeared to change my mac address, but when I try and use the internet I cannot connect to anything.
It says I have correctly spoofed my mac, and it displays two mac addresses; my original mac address, and then below it, it shows the new mac address that it has given me to use, but when I try to connect to the internet on the wifi it cannot connect to anything.
If anyone has a solution to my problem or another app I could use from the playstore that would work with my phone, or a guide I'd appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is the section for your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-core-prime
You could ask there for help. My guess though, is that since you rooted with kingroot, you still have a write protected system, and therefore can't accomplish this. Just a guess though, as I don't know about your specif device. The folks in the section above do though.
Maybe this could help too, http://www.xda-developers.com/spoof-your-mac-address-the-easy-way/
Good luck!
