I've been trying to get the Super One Click Shell Root to work on my Acer Liquid mt, I'm quite familiar with adb and all, but I get a pop-up message that says the phone already has a temporary root. Restarting doesn't fix the problem like it says. This has most likely happened because when I first tried rooting I used the temporary root, however half way through it came across a bug and simply stopped. I was wondering if you would have any tips on how to get my phone entirely back to factory settings? As now the phone randomly freezes with the only solution being to press the hard reset button.
I have already tried vache's recovery, and also Acer's Euu Packet. I even tried resetting the whole phone by holding the 2 volume buttons on start-up. Everything worked how it was supposed to, however none of them fixed the problem. Any help would be great

I tried to root my Toshiba Thrive (4.0.4) and during the process waiting for the tablet to start and error message came up said something about something failed, it went by so fast I didn't get the whole message. Anyway my tablet went into a constant soft reboot. I had to start the table in safe mode and factory reset, which worked.
My question is; WHY?
I selected normal root. Everything seemed to be going well until the restart. Then everything went south. And I kind of afriad to try again untill I ahve some idea as to what happened. I was rooting with "Root with Restore" by Bin4ry v30"
After months of Samsung not fixing the known issue, I got mine working again today. Here is what I did, hope any with same problem have similar results. I am not an expert or anything, just finally found a way to get my tablet working again.
I downloaded the Kies program from Samsung website to my pc. I went ahead and used the "Lite" version. Once it recognized my tablet, I had it check for updates. I went ahead and installed the update and the progress screen stalled again and then the tablet rebooted again and still had the same problem not powering off.
So here is what I did different this time after the failed update attempt and it worked!!!!!
I went ahead and force closed the Kies program which was still trying to run with ctrl alt del. I then unplugged the tablet from the computer usb and then plugged it back in.
I restarted Kies Lite and it told me the last attempt failed and if I wanted to use recovery method, so I clicked yes.
It then gave some steps to do to get the process started but they were WRONG! Instead , I disconnected the usb cord, then pressed both the power button and the volume up key for about 15 seconds until the tablet rebooted itself into recovery mode. This booted into a recovery screen which gave a warning about loading custom ROM or something but I went ahead and proceeded anyhow by following the on screen instruction.
I then reconnected the usb cord and then the button to get started was highlighted and able to be clicked, so I clicked start.
And to my surprise it actually finally started updating instead of just sitting there hung up.
I let it continue installing and when the tablet rebooted, I disconnected the usb cord and the tablet was on its way to finish updating and installing the 4.2.2 working update with a power button that finally worked again.
This was my experience I wanted to share with others that are as frustrated as I was, just dont blame me if it doesnt work haha.
Update: I was able to successfully fix my inlaws tablet as well this evening with absolutely no issue. He has read about it and also tried various methods posted everywhere but mine was the only way that worked.
Only download you need is the Samsung Kies program, no need looking for outdated links, unzipping, Odin recovery options, etc. This is to get it back to stock Samsung ROM which currently is the 4.2.2.
Please post up your results if you try it and have a minute, Im curious how many others this works for after spending so much time reading, searching and testing diferent methods.
I rooted my device using king root, in that state i got the notification for an official update. I went to settings, about phone, and updated. after it rebooted, it started installing the update. halfway through the the status bar was a little less half full, it stopped and booted normally. It said the the update installation was unsuccessful. I remembered that i had the stupid kingroot, so i uninstalled it, it rebooted, everything so far so good. i went just to double check the OS version currently installed, still on 5.0.2 Lollipop. This time i went ahead and started installing the update. I noticed that this time it looked fine because the status bar didn't stop halfway through like last time. It kept going until it was more than half full. So I was like "ok, lets just leave it for now to do its job and ill look at it later" Later, I looked and it had a black screen with the android model with an exclamation mark. It said: "No Command" I decided not to **** with it, so i jut left it. I went to Motorola's website, and chatted with one of their technicians. She told me to factory reset it. She gave me instructions on how to do that, Which those instructions did not work. I went on YouTube and figured out a way on how to get into recovery mode and factory reset it, and that was what i did of course. Now all it does is boot, show me android model, power off. Then it keeps doing the same thing over and over until the battery dies, or i force to shut down from recovery mode. BTW i still can access recovery mode, and everything is useless and leads to boot-loop thing i just mentioned. Please help i feel like i really ****ed it up.

Hello,
I'd recommend you to restore your device back to stock firmware Restore to Stock][XT1068][All Dual Sim Model][4.4.4] with fastboot.
Also, I would advice you not to flash bootloader again. (Since if yours is updated with marshmallow one, flashing the older one (downgrading) might end in a brick).

Hello everyone, I have lots of issues with this tablet since I bought it. It works painfully slow, yet resetting it doesn't change anything, still the same problem. I also tried to root it via Kingroot and it werk, however it took me lot of time due to the system being unresponsive / unstable and almost useless. It comes with android 4.0.3 and I also tried looking up for any possibilites to reinstall the firmware since I'm extremely sure it could be caused from the firmware it also got installed from the factory. I also tried searching for custom roms and other ways around for TWRP or any custom recovery, but no result. I also tried up with the Flashify app to try extracting / backing up / dumping the recovery and the kernel but the app freezes up. I also tried a possibility to update the firmware from their official page, hence it failed to do so since it gives an error in their flashing software that dosen't tell me nor it logs it what it could be caused up from the connecting part.
primux.es/producto/tablets/tablet-primux-siroco-2-101/189
(not sure if anyone understands spanish thought but I can translate if needed)
This is the page from where I tried to download and install their software and their firmware down below on the page. primuxcomputers.es/primux/siroco2upgrade.pdf
There are the instructions where I tried to follow but at the "Imagen 9: Icono" part got me stuck in there. It requests me to insert the cable in the tablet holding the "Home" button and while holding it, plugging in the USB cable throught PC, and tap quickly the "Power" button 3 times. However it gives me a red X icon and yet nothing shows up in the devices: No ID, no other kind of detection no logs no nothing. After it showed up the X on the status, it disconnects itself and it changes to ready / green icon and plugs itself in again but nothing really happens to detect it again thought.
I also tried to boot in recovery mode but nothing happens menawhile Flashify keeps on the rebooting in recovery mode in loop doing nothing else... I'm seriously in pain with this tablet. And if you ask me to return it, not gonna even bother doing that..
I seriously hope any answer very soon and don't get dissapointed by the ignorance of this topic..
