Hi everyone , i have a question. I bought a kycoera rise from public mobile (quebec, canada) and i don't have the option for portable hotspot so i tied to download many tethering application and still nothing worked i would like to know if someone can explain me how to set it up?
Useful info:
Mobile number: rise
Android version : 4.0.4
Software/ baseband version: 1.002 pm
Hardware version: 0102
Kernel version: 3.0.8 perf
Build number: imm761
Thanks to you very much
If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnnnnned!
But, really.
It might help if you describe what happens when you try to use the apps that you downloaded, not that they just "don't work" - or is it really that, that they just don't open period - or what ?
sorry
Sorry you are right forgot to tell that my device does open the tethering but it tell me that i need to download foxfi buti did it already and still nothing is happening
Hello,
To start with, I'm new to Android. I work in IT and have always been a windows/linux desktop user with combination of Windows phone/maemo/IoS for mobiles.
Basically my Nannu has handed me a tablet he picked up cheap and wants me to set it up. All seems to be running ok, set up a gmail account, checked wifi/camera etc are working. Then noticed that when launching the browser it defaults to google.com.hk. If I change the homepage in the browsers settings it reverts everytime I exit the app and relaunch.
Also little problems such as signing into skype fails, despite correct credentials and if i select the "trouble signing in" option I'm taking to a chinese version of skype website.
I've reset to factory defaults but this doesn't make a difference.
So I'm looking to flash the device with a ROM as suspect one currently loaded is custom Chinese ROM.
I've rooted the device and was looking at Shuame to flash it but unfortunately my Chinese is a little rusty/non-existent.
I thought maybe I could remove the default browser using Kinguser but it won't allow me to remove as its a system component.
There is no model info on the exterior of the tablet. Here is from the "about tablet" section in settings:
Processor: DualCore -A23
Model Number: TY_Q8H
Android Version: 4.2.2
Firmware Version: v2.0.8
Kernel Version: 3.4.9 [email protected] #365
Build Number: TY_POLARIS_ENG 4.2.2 JDQ39 20140528 test-keys
If anyone can advise or point me in the right direction for where I can find a ROM and a good tool to use to apply this I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I couldn't find anything relevant on your device on XDA. You can ask here for help and perhaps someone knows of something.

Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
My prompted for a privacy protection password and it requires flashing because when i carried out hard reset, it failed. however, am failing to get the best ROM to replace the existing ROM.
my phone details are;
BB Chip: MT6572
Kernel ver: 3.467
android ver: 4.4.2
sw ver: ALPS.KK1.MP6.V1
Custom Build Number ver: P900E_En20150606
Also the phone is not a genuine Sony Xperia phone.
I will be glad for the best posted link for the ROM as my phone is a month down without usage
Thank you

Hello again.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist. In your previous Assist thread, you said it was a "Z3", but if it's not a Sony Xperia Z3, you should ask your question with all relevant details, especially the exact phone make and model, in the general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help in the hope that someone familiar with your device might be able to help/.
Once again, good luck!
EDIT: Member has now posted in the suggested area. Thread closed.
Hello. I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but at this point, it can't really get much worse. I know that this is a good, reliable site, and I figured that if anyone could help me, they'd be here.
I got a VL-107 (Visual Land Prestige 7) the other day and it's been a nightmare. I can't use Pandora because it crashes constantly, I can't use my favorite texting app because it freezes and crashes the moment I start typing, I can't use Snapchat because "my device isn't compatible". I spent several hours yesterday just getting the Play Store installed and working.
I suspect that the OS is the main problem (4.1.1, but I've never seen such a horrible Android OS, so I don't know if it's clean), and I'd like to update to a more recent Android version (hopefully 4.4.2 or so). I've seen a lot of stuff talked about, like Clockwork Mod, something called LiveSuit, etc but the most recent .img file I've seen was I believe 4.0.3, so obviously that's not what I'm going for.
In some places (maybe tabletroms), I've seen talk of people being able to make modifications by treating their VL-107s as "Allwinner tablets", but I didn't fully understand whether that would still be valid. I'm willing to do some experimentation with updating if need be, since at this point I basically consider the tablet as good as bricked.
I have a basic understanding of installing ROMs, and my tablet is rooted. There are no system updates available.
Specs (I don't fully understand these, so go easy on me):
Model Number: VL-107
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: inet1.0_20121016
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+, [email protected] #19, Fri Jun 21 14:04:01 CST 2013
Build Number: 86FV0620130715W01G01T01

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Based on the kernel version, looks like you have been upgraded to something custom already, and it's buggy. You may want to go back to 4.0.3 for some stability. At that point, some of the failed apps you tried may start working (assuming they don't have a minimum requirement of JellyBean or KitKat).
I would, check out this thread, it's the best place where your device experts can be found:
> General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking > Creating a Backup/Recovery/Dump
Note, in order to post there, you will need to have an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Thanks a lot, I found out that I'm registered already so I'm going to head over to that board right now and see what I can find. I'm happy to go back to an older version if it means a working tablet.
I have a galaxy s4 that I rooted long long ago. It's now acting crappy and problematic and I would like to refresh it by wiping everything and starting from scratch (basically as I would on a PC with a fresh reinstall of windows). Have been looking for any information on this but haven't had luck searching. Figured I might get advice here. Where should I look for guidance with this?
I think this is the thread I followed to root it originally. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Phone info:
Model Number: SCH-i545
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: i545VRUFNC5

If any other information is needed I can edit to include.
