[Completed] [Q] MXIII 2gb/8gb custom ROM ... how to ??

Hi All ... nice forum u have here.
I m not sure wether Im in the right place, however I am intersted in learning about custom bootable roms.
I have an MXIII 2gb android based tv box .... and I wld like to know how exactly why i keep cooking a ROm with Android kitchen .... and i keep getting `verification failed` msg on rom update.
I probably need to replace the bootloader on the device ... but i dont know how.
I did also try by formatiing the sdcard with a partiton starting from cylinder #3 in fat32 format ... placing the files from android kitchen there ... with no sucess
For the record Im an ubuntu linux user by default ... I tried connecting to adb over tcp via terminal ... but im doing something wrong.
Tried the usb adb ... but ubuntu does not recognize the unit
Tried Android sdk ... but i cant load the factory Rom in it
what im really looking for is to make a minimalistic Rom that I can install from sd card easy
totally lost ... appreciate some help
Some pointers wld be really appreciated.

Hi,
You have already asked about this in the appropriate section. Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support. And you found your way already. ??
You'll need to be patient. Read some guides in the Chef Central section, or try googling this. It's not a popular device, so it may be hard to get answers from others.
Good luck! Thread closed.

[Completed] [Q] Htc Desire 816 Software Update Issues

I've been having trouble installing a new software update on my phone (HTC Desire 816, 4.4.2 KitKat) and I decided to give it another go today. My phone is rooted, I used CWM recovery and SU which I still use. When I let the phone do the automatic install, when the phone goes into recovery it says the path to the dl is invalid. Which I've checked and it seems the same to me. If I try to install it by going into the recovery mode and installing the zip it says "file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": no such file or directory". So I came on here to try to find answers and the threads I came across just lead to more questions. One thread said: "If I unlock the bootloader and root (including flashing wp_mod) my HTC Desire 816 but remain in my default stock ROM will I still receive software updates from HTC officially?", then goes onto ask questions regarding how the internal memory amt is an issue for game data size that cant be moved to the SD card. and if Link2SD work or if there's a way to "emulate /link the ext SD and Int SD, and if busybox is required. The reply talks about Xposed module installation, busybox on rails, Xposed Framework, and S-ON.
I am a beginner with this type of stuff. I can do basic things (like root my phone and such), so the more information the better. But what is all the stuff that is being referred to and will any of it help me with my situation. I am always looking to learn more about the things I can do with my phone, So the more the better. I just need a complete work through, no steps skipped. And Lastly, I'm looking for the stock ROM for my phone if it's anywhere., but I'm hoping for the US version for Virgin Mobile, just in case I screw it up and need to revert back or just feel like going back to basic. Thank You

Hi,
Here is my suggestion. You want to learn and that's awesome! Learning this stuff requires lots of reading, googling, searching xda and reading stickies in your device section (the top threads in sections with thumb tack icons on them)
So, here is the desire 816 section...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816
I'm the general section, you'll find information... Guides, tutorials and whatnot, for many things. In Q&A section you can find questions others have asked, as well as more information threads too. You can read the summary of the other sections, but those 2 have a wealth of knowledge in thread already.... You won't often find people repeat it all, especially the many things you've asked, when the information is already out there. ?
If you get stuck on something, ask for help in your Q&A section for that device. ?
Good luck!

[Completed] How do I make my external SD card primary storage for my device?

Okay, I'm having some issues with my device being a Samsung Galaxy Avant. I have gained root access and TWRP as well as AOSP ROM flashed... Because who wants stock? So since I'm always looking for ways to make my phone better than the rest and with out spending an outrageous amount I ask how do I get more space on my device. I have a lot of music and new music is always coming in and while using a file manager works, it tedious and unsettling if something goes wrong. So I appreciate any answers or hints.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
To do this, you need to modify your fstab in your boot.img to be able to redirect internal storage to say, a second partition on your SD card. But it's messy (especially if the bootloader is locked), and full of considerations (e.g. puts extra load on a sensitive SD card).
At any rate, please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in the rest of the site. Then, check out the following thread:

Need a Help to recover my Realme XT data. i think this is the only place to get the safe and best help.

Hello Everyone, I need a help if someone can assist please do...
Accidentally i deleted data from my #Realme XT, which had some important videos and photos shoot for a documentary.
i tried to recover through some ways, through some apps, they just recover thumbnails. i can't do it through apps because it will overwrite memory so will be difficult to recover in future.
i used Fonepaw on windows system which also recovered the thumbnails, and asked me for a deep scan which needs my mobile to be rooted.
but the rooting process i found for Realme XT, ask to unlock the Bootloader before rooting the device, and as i am getting it that will wipe the phone data ( i guess memory too ). i don't know....
either someone knows to root the mobile safely without wiping the memory or someone has a better suggestion to recover the data without rooting. please help.
All the suggestions, guidelines and helps are mostly welcome to recover my important data.
Thanks ...

IMO you should ask MODS to move your thread to Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshhooting forum

Thank you
