Hello, I am a Junior member (on 1/19/14). I have a XOLO Intel mobile, XOLO X910. I decided to buy this particular mobile after a very long time of comparing it to every other mobile in all aspects. It has beat the smartest smartphones even in price, at the time I bought it cost me just 9000 INR, equivalent to $150. But then came the real problems. The support for XOLO mobiles, is not so responsive. I actually knew this before buying it. But, who doesn't want to call support, when they cant find the correct drivers, can't connect your adb, and can't move your apps to SD Card.
Well, so I tried for myself on how to do these. I'll try to address most of these issues here, to help my Intel Xolo friends. This post is exclusive for Xolo phones, with Inel processors. And for Windows users.
There are no good drivers for Xolo available.
Yes there are no drivers from Xolo available. When we try to find drivers in their website, we will be redirected to the Intel android drivers' page. So we do not have much choice. We have to use the driver from Intel. There are two versions of it. (1.1.4 and 1.1.5). They claim that 1.1.4 works on windows 7 and lower,; 1.1.5 works on windows 8, and windows 8.1 has no support.
But I am using 1.1.4 for windows 8.1 successfully. I don't who or what is wrong at Intel Inc. The thing I have to say to you for now is that, Download both of them, and try both of them. There is a very good chance, that one of them will work.
Even with the Intel drivers, and USB debugging enabled, adb doesn't work.
Yes it didn't work for me, and it won't be a surprise it if doesn't for any other owner of Xolo Intel mobile phone. I checked almost all mobile and android forums, xda too, but all I have is bits and peices about why it does, and doesn't work. Some guy in the facebook, commented on a root request post, that he was able to have his adb recognize his mobile.
The thing is for most of the Xolo Intel phones, the "adb devices" command comes up with an empty list of devices attached even when we connect the mobile.
Here is the solution, worked for me. I don't know if it works for you. But, this method of making your drivers to recognize your mobile does not harm or brick your mobile in any way. I actually tried checking for the solution in intel forum, and ended up me giving them, the solution.
http:// software. intel. com/ en-us/ forums/ topic/ 277352 (Remove spaces)
the method I am posting here is the exact copy as in the intel QA page.
1. Install 1.1.4 drivers.
2. Connect mobile, Open device manager, it shows "Android Phone" with exclamatory mark!
3.Right click and open properties.Go to Details tab. In "property" select hardware id's. Remember the VID and PID. Xolo's VID for mine is 1D91, and my PID is AABC.
4. Open the intel drivers folder in program files. and open the *.ini file, replace VID 8087 (this is for Orange San Diego, intel needs to change that) with your VID, and also your PID.
5. You need to save those files, with admin previliges its possible.
6. Now remove and connect Mobile. Go to device manager. You may or may not see any changes. Right click and click update. Select Browse from my computer, and then Let me pick, you'll have 3 options "ADB", "Bootloader", "Composite", choose according to your use. After the update is success, restart everything.
7. Now possibly the adb devices command may show "List of devices attached" with empty list. If it shows your mobile ID, no problem. If it does'nt, then go to, "C:\Users\user_name\.android" folder, create a file named "adb_usb.ini" and type and save "0x1D91" in that file. it is the VID in hex . If you have a different VID use it.
8. I believe you then will be able to use your mobile in debugging. I did. I hope you do too. If its a success, please contact me.
So, I believe in one way or another, with one driver or another, you have success, using "adb devices" showing your device.
And the final problem, root your mobile, and/or move apps to SD card.
I did not find any rooting procedures for Intel XOLO X910 on internet. I've found some for X900, which I thought woudn't for me. And another one in xda forums, for X500. This rooting procedure does not involve, unlocking bootloader, installing new custom recovery, or flashing a new rom.
What this method does is, it pushes the su file into /system/xbin/ of your mobile.
The program I used is called the Cydia Impactor, they claim on their page that they use, the Master key exploit of the android, so it will work on 99% of the mobiles, well I got lucky I rooted my mobile. You can download the software from their page( around 11MB).
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKING. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
After downloading the software (assuming you adb works), just extract it,connect your mobile, open the Impactor executable, and click the start button. Done, the su is pushed into xbin. And voila, you are rooted.
But beware, this is x86 architecture, so if you try to install ARM only apps like busybox, chainfire 3D or some other cool ****, you may brick your mobile, (bootloop or bootanimation loop). Some have bricked them already, so do not do that. Atleast I suggest you don't.
How to move apps from Internal to External SD Card
In this category, I need some answers. Usually swapping, internal and external SD cards is a matter changing paths and labels in vold.fstab file. But unfortunately my mobile (IMO all intel mobiles) have three of those files. Named vold, voldeinternal and voldexternal, with the same extension fstab. I didn't try to edit any of them.
What I did try is "FolderMount". My main concern is about games larger than 1GB. So I place them on external SD Card and then mount them to either sdcard/android/data or sdcard/android/obb, so that I can play the game. I need suggestion for any improvements.
i have the solution to.internal memory problem
1. Download apex or nova launcher.
2. Go in widgets and add activities.
3. And in activities find "primary storage switch" select sd as default and thats it.

I am looking into that too, unfortunately I did not find any recovery that has compatibility with this mobile. And also recovery has no use for us until we have some ROM to flash. So until we find a ROM, recovery is obsolete (except for taking backup of our own). By the way the bootloader is pretty firmly locked.
We cannot install Xposed framework

Exposed framework is for ARM devices , doesn't support x86 architecture phone .
Aren't there any ROMS available for it?
And thanks rooting was successful.
And how can chain fire or ARM brick the phone?
Maybe, Congrats, IDK.!

ROM's are not available that are specifically designed for the given mobile, but there emulator ROM's from intel, and android-x86 Rom's available. They may or may not work, But to install them we need them signed and also a custom recovery, which is not available for the time being for x86. Even then we didnt yet unlock the bootloader.
Congrats on your rooting your mobile, may it give you bliss and god bless.
I dont know buddy, if the chainfire app can brick or not the phone, i said it may brick. And I said that coz some intel user did some kinda experiments and bricked (bootloop or soft brick) his mobile, I was just warning ya, but you're welcome to try it out and post the results. I just didnt want to risk it, that is all. And to the "WHY" part. As they are two different arch's they have compatibility issues with the code/app.
I have a Intel (K900) but it's hard to root.
You are really knowledgeable..

How will the emulator work..?
And how did you mount the internal sd with external sd??
Is there any way that when we connect our cell phone to the computer instead of showing portable device we see removable disks..
And there is a fault.. All the images in the gallery are displayed 2 times and the music also.. Copy is displayed which doesn't function.. I tried system reseting but it went in vain..
It happens with me too

What I do for the time being is I remove the ext. SD card, go to gallery and delete all the repeated images. But for the music it is hectic because. We can't choose multiple songs and delete them at. Once. We have to do it one by One which is very time Consuming. If you get resolved please let me know. I guess it happens when we connect it to. Our PC and delete. Something from the SD card.
ok
U r done by rooting ur phone kindly upload ur video on youtube so as we'll get a nice idea to root our x910 ur ideas r not working plzz uplaod
Something for you, better than nothing
I made a video of how to enable and access adb, not much but something's better than nothing right.

Hello,
We constantly have to prepare new tablets by connecting google accounts, installing apps etc. Maybe there's some tools for this? I can see that you can install apps with adb but what about google account? All devices are using same account.

No, that requires physically signing into each individual account on each individual device. This is required because you are signing in over the Google network(external to your device), not just signing into the device itself.
There is maybe one exception but it would only work if all of the devices were rooted or had a custom recovery installed. In the case that all of the tablets are the exact same specific model number, you could physically sign in to the Google account on one of the devices, then install TWRP on that device, then boot into TWRP and use the Backup option to create a nandroid backup, then install TWRP recovery on all of the other devices then place a copy of the backup on a external sdcard or a USB then, on each device, one at a time, insert the sdcard or USB then boot the device into TWRP then use the Restore option in TWRP to restore the back that is stored on the USB, this will flash an identical copy of everything that was on the device used to create the backup. Do this with each tablet and they will be exactly the same down to every single file that was on the first device.
In the case that all of the tablets are not the same, it would require rooting each of the devices then signing into the Google account on one of the tablets then locating where the files associated to the Google account are stored, copy those files and store them on your PC, then, using adb connect each of the devices to adb one at a time and use adb push commands to push the files associated to the Google account to the folders they belong in. You could even create an adb batch file to automate the adb push commands. You could even include the apps that were downloaded and installed by the user and use adb batch file to automate the installation of the apps but this may not work if the devices have extremely different chipset or SOC.
You may be able to simplify the process more than I described if you do a little research, use some thought and use some creativity.
All in all, virtually the same amount of work as just physically signing into each device and installing the apps and data from a Google backup during the sign-in process, though, this process could cause issues on devices that have different architectures if device settings are included in the Google backup and restored on incompatible devices.

Wow thanks for detailed answer.
They usually are the same unless when we start to replace them with new models. I was thinking about backup/restore but yeah then I have to root every device and they also come with some software preinstalled with different user accounts so that won't work.
Tbh I was certain that such software should exists. I'm working at the trucking company and even though we are far from biggest even in my small country it does take significant time to configure every tablet manually so I imagine bigger companies must have separate person only for this.
Ok then I'll try to play with adb I found that you actually can install apk, open playstore and fake clicking install so I assume I could automate google account connection and etc. Although it won't be as smooth as just plugin it and clicking cofigure.
