How to flash firmware on a Oppo R5 without partitions, OS and adb not working

Hello. Today i wanted to update my Oppo R5s R8106 from ColorOS to Mokee.

First i had to install Project Spectrum V1.1i Beta, and here it was fine.

Next step, i followed this guide to install CM (as someone on Oppo forum told me that the procedure for Mokee is the same).

Here i had problems, because TWRP for oppo r5 were not working (volume down + power button weren't getting me in recovery menu). I tried all the version for this phone from website but nothing.
So I tried to flash the CM recovery image from the nightly page of CyanogenMod for Oppo R5s and here i could go inside recovery menu.

Next problem now, was that for every zip of Mokee i was trying to flash, i got a message like "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" and here i did a big mistake: i did a factory reset which erased me all system partitions, data, and everything (also zip files of ROMs).

Looking on internet i saw that it was possible use adb to create again folder on /data/media/0 (emulation of sd card) and load zip that i can use from recovery to restore again the OS. The problem is that now, when i type "adb devices" i see my device "unauthorized" (before my mistake i could see my phone), so i'm not able to load zip on my phone. Tried to kill server, reboot, delete .android folder... nothing works.

I tried fastboot update <name_of_my_zip>.zip but i get message "archive does not contain 'android-info.txt".
I tried to put inside an empty txt file named like this, but now i get "archive does not contain 'boot.sig', archive does not contain 'system.img'"
I tried to fastboot these zip files: R8106_Spectrum_V1.1_Beta_full_wipe.zip, R8106EX_11.A.16_OTA_INT_016_all_150806_wipe.zip , MK60.1-r5-160801-RELEASE.zip, cm-13.0-20160803-NIGHTLY-r5.zip but i always got these errors.

The only thing that i can do now is flash CM recovery or ColorOs & ProjectSpectrum recovery .

Unlukily, any of these recovery allow me to mount folders from my pc.

So i would like to ask for your kind help to know how can i load zip file on my phone, or how can i install a zip from fastboot, or how can i get adb work again or if there is a tool for flash oppo (i remember there was something like this for Xperia...) or if do you know if there are some where some firmware which are good to be flashed with fastboot.

Many thanks

What rom will work with Xposed framework without getting the storage error?

Tried purenexus, and benzo, and get it on both. All I want to do is use it for mock mock locations. Can I do that even with the storage error? If not, is there a rom that doesn't mess up when you install it?

Using S7 Edge WITHOUT screen protector

Hello guys! How are you?

I didn´t find some topic with this...I searched for good screen protector but it´s hard to find and to work it with some case...

I already bought the AmazingThing screen protector to try it (on the topic off screen protectors it seens to be the better one until now), but didn´t instal it yet because i bought also a case and I want to try this before because I think that they won´t work together...

Well...this topic is to users who are using it without any screen protector!

- How is your screen?
- It´s demaged or it´s ok?
- There are to many scratches?
- Just a few scratches that with screen turn on you can´t see it?

The first month with the S7E I used it withou screen protector and the screen was ok, no scratches until that time...after that I´m trying some screen protectors...but I´m tired of just try ****...

Thinking to use without but scared to fu**up the phone haha

Leave your experience!

Flashing custom recovery without PC (Samsung)

Hi guys :) I have Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus (Gt-S7580) and I want to flash custom rom. I was curious if it is possible to flash custom recovery ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=42027 ) with file extension .tar.md5 without using Odin because I dont have access to PC with administrator rights. All apps which provide flashing only use .img file. If any of you guys have solution I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Redmi 3 (NOT Note or Pro) without MIUI?

Hi everyone,

plane and simple:

Is there a way to use the Redmi 3 without Miui? Its not a bad OS, its just to bloated.

I would much prevere the stock andorid, ir something very lightweight.

I already checked out with Cyanogen Mod, but they said, they are NOT supporting the Redmi 3.

So can I run a stock Android on the Redmi 3 without having issues? Or can you advise some other roms?

TY.

Axon Root without Unlock? And OTA?

Hey,

I have two questions about the Axon7 and rooting in general.
First is, if there is a possibility to root the Axon7 without an unlocked bootloader. Just need the root for some Apps (e.g. adaway).
The second is: if there is a possibility to root the Axon, will OTA Updates work or how do I get updates?

Thanks for your help.

Theme your phone into lollipop without flashing custom ROM (Xposed Installer)

Most of us know about cyanogen mod ROMs and to be honest. They beat the band
But the procedure of flashing a custom ROM is sometimes dreadful
So I would like to share about a few Xposed framework modules which can help you transform into 5.0 here and now

Prerequisites----
Xposed installer
Flat style colored bars (pro)
Flat style notification bars (pro)
Monster UI

Download the following and enable them and reboot device
Open flat style colored bars and edit our status bar icons as per to your liking... I would prefer to edit them into the latest marshmallow or lollipop style

Open flat style status bars and tap status bar option
And choose lollipop in the overlay style dropbox

I would recommend you to discover the many uses of Monster UI yourself... Its a fun module and enables a hell lot of customization :laugh:

Weird problem, now without system

Few days ago my HOX+ suddenly turned off and would turn back on, but crashed after few seconds. I plugged the phone to a charger and everything worked again. However, since then the story happened over and over on various occasions. I thought it was my fault, because of playing with some root apps; reverted everything back, but problem still existed.

I decided to flash a new ROM. Everything went fine, flashed kernel, wiped all, but after starting the install of the ROM, my phone crashed after the line "patching system image unconditionally". I tried to restore stock backup, but after reaching few percents, phone crashes again. I realized that this might likely be a hardware issue.

Furthermore, I can't enter recovery (unlike bootloader) without charging my phone even though I charged the phone before doing anything.

So, is there anything else I can do or should I put my HOX+ into a recycle bin?

Rooting D855/ Unlocking bootloader, without kingroot

Hi all, I'm new to android rooting, and have been consuming knowledge over the last few days like a large sponge.

I discovered that McAfee had set itself if with admin rights on my phone, and had been sending texts to international numbers without alerting me, took me a good while to find out where the extra charges from my carrier were coming from. Anyway, I cant delete it as its in the ROM, so i rooted the phone (on lollipop) and deleted it, along with some other bloatware that LG and my carrier decided I would want, and then updated the phone to marshmallow (I didn't actually realise marshmallow had been released, I don't keep in the android loop, and my phone always said the latest OS was installed - had to update it through LGs PC suite).

To my abject horror McAfee was back, I can only assume this was due to the update to marshmallow, and not because it somehow survived deletion somewhere on the phone. So now, i need to root the phone, and delete McAfee again, however I really dont want to use Kingroot to do it. Its very shifty, looking at various info on the web, what with it sending information to IPs in China and running services in the background. The other alternative, using Supersu's systemless root, requires the bootloader to be unlocked, but to unlock the bootloader, a root is required (please correct me if any of this information is incorrect, I am pretty new to the android side of things - ive only ever jailbroken iDevices before now). I think im right in saying I could unlock the boot loader if I could access fastboot, but the command 'adb reboot-bootloader' only reboots the phone, rather than booting into the bootloader.

Is there anything I can do to get around this ? Once its rooted and the bloatware deleted, Ill unroot it (I use banking apps and they wont run if the phone is rooted) so I dont want to flash any custom ROMS or anything - just get access to files on the root.

Note 5 Settings App Crashing with and Without Xposed

My settings app was crashing and I restored my phone not knowing that the issue was xposed and went ahead and reinstalled MOAR PD2 rom and then installed xposed (settings app working before installing it) and the settings didn't work. I then uninstalled xposed and it is still not working. I really don't want to restore my phone again and go through the whole process again.

Issue: Settings app crashing. No longer responding.

Can I use Google Voice without data?

I have two phones, both on ringplus. I run hangouts on both and use my google voice (GV) number to send text to my family and friends. This generally works so it doesn’t matter which phone I’m on, everything goes through my GV #.

Sometimes I find myself in areas that doesn’t have 3G service or sometimes I turn off my cellular data to extend my battery life. Unfortunately this means that any sms I send can’t use GV which requires data. In these events, I have to preface my texts with who I am (because they don’t recognize my ringplus number) and I wind up with a ton of separate conversations. It’s a mess.

If possible, I’d like a way to use my GV # without using data. Maybe somehow set up my phones so that even though they have their own ringplus #, texts would appear to come from my GV #.

Or maybe have some type of man in the middle setup, so my texts would arrive and then be sent out using my GV # and vice versa.

Rooting without a computer?

How to add soft keys without crash?

So I remember on my Note 4 and S6, I add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on my build prop and it never really worked on lollipop or marshmallow. Everytime I rebooted, my phone would crash and just keeps giving an error over and over...everytime I pressed ok.

I'm sure the devs know how to fix this since the custom roms for my Note 4 got rid of the error awhile back
