Dear All
I'm a new android user, I just get a new A50 from Australia and try to root it. It's successful with z4root and I try to install Thai font to system. Unfortuantely I did wrong by deleting font folder in the system, therefore I can't run the system again. When I power on, it still have only garmin asus android logo and can't use it again. Does anyone please let me know how to restore or resolve this problem, or I have to throw it away? Thank you in advance.
Cheers!

Android 1.6 or the new 2.1 Eclair update?
It's a new Eclair 2.1 update, is there any solution?
Connect it to your computer via USB cable.
Using ADB, try this:
ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.
If it works, a yellow triangle appears with the green android guy.
Hit the HOME button. A menu appears. Use volume up/down to move through the options. Tap power to select it I beleive.
Reset/wipe to factory is one of the options.
If you need it, ADB is found in the Android SDK.
If that doesn't work, try calling in to Garmin for support.

Dear Spazmogen
Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm really new with ANDROID.
I downloaded ANDROID SDK and try to install but it dodn't work.
I use Win 7 64bit, do I need another software to run this command.
If possible, please let me know some previous post that already teach for beginner.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers!

ADB is a command line tool. But you will have to get Android SDK installed on the computer 1st.
Read the instructions for installing the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Interesting. I got into the recovery screen using the Quick Boot app,used the home button to show the menu. The arrows and volume buttons move, but can't actually do anything. Probably related to missing files that are reported in the data/cache/recovery folder.
https://www.garminasus.com/en_US/support/eclair/006-B1130-00.update
official 2.1 update came out today for USA GARMINFONES. Not the A50 Nuvifones elsewhere in the world...
Is the update different from the leaked one?
Sent from my Garminfone using XDA App
I am waiting for an answer to that question myself. I have no plans to change from the leaked version Garmin posted in mid-November.

Apparently someone did a bit comparison and said they matched. Plus, I tried and it told me it was the same version. On the plus side, I messed up my recovery partition and recovered it using the backups I made of each partition after I loaded 2.1 (dump_image). I made img backups and tar backups of all the files in 1.6 (I am anal about backing up). Good thing because 2.1 doesn't come with flash_image.
I can get into fastboot and the driver loads and stuff, but I get no devices listed when I do fastboot devices command. Next stop is Ubuntu
I know it works,just need to know how to get to it. Btw,I tried both the Garmin fastboot and adb drivers as well as adding the device hardware id's into the android drivers and neither worked.
I also need to find out if there is a similar enough kernel that I can use to get a fully functional recovery mode. I did find out that you can use adb just fine in the stock one and it loads a serial driver as well.
any possible way I could get that backup you made? I apparently didnt save my backup to the pc. And currrently I messed up permissions on my Garmin trying to get recovery working. I cant run the update or anything.
I've just stumbled across this forum post from google, I too am need of fixing my phone. All that is faulty is that the recovery mode has been overwritten with an incorrect one. Is it possible to extract the recovery image and reflash it from the optus supplied Android 2.1 006-B1130-00.update file?
Or is there a way of just getting say Rom Manager to work some magic for me?
Yes, it is possible... would be easier if someone could just use dump_image on a phone that has a working recovery mode and root access. I can provide the dump app and instructions.
Where can I get the Optus update, and are you positive recovery works on it? Does it also have working fastboot?
And to the other poster, which partition do you need? Btw, Rom manager has a permission fix mode. I can get you a tar file if it is the system partition or your choice of img or tar for the others.
And to everyone, after updating to 2.1, do a master clear because a lot of 1.6 apps are left over... duplicates.
Also, odexing all apps speeds it up a lot, with the caveat that you have to re-run the odex.sh file (found somewhere here and modified by me to be more thorough) after every app update or you will get force closes.
Oh I just reflashed the update again, and I got my recover menu back!
I'm not sure if i need any help anymore, but thanks for your offer of help merwin.
By working, do you mean that you can get to it with a hardware key combination and can actually select items?
first of all ,i 'm sorry for my english .my a50 is dead too.i also delet font folder and i use the adb command 'adb reboot recovery'.but the error is device not found. and my pohone can not boot .it stop at the android guy . how can i setup the device..Q.......Q......help me ..pls

I love my new Dell streak i bought in Hong Kong 2 weeks ago & now and cant seem to update from 2.1 to 2.2!
The problem is, I am not able to even check for the system updates and get a runtime error everytime i try to check.
Here are the details of my streak,
Firmware version : 2.1-update1
Baseband version : GAUSB1A120321-EU
OEM Version : STREAK.ANDROID.HK
Kernel version : 2.6.29-perf
Build number : 20100908
Can anyone help me please?
I have the exact same Dell Streak version you have! I bought my at Broadway.
Anyways - I think that the variation has to be updated by the tech support here in HK (I think they are called Kingdom Hill or something), but not sure.
If you want to upgrade yourself, I suggest you download this:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A111800
What I did was this:
0. Start with our version: 2.1-update1 Baseband 21
1. Downgrade to 1.6 w/ Baseband 21
2. Convert 1.6 w/ Baseband 21 to 1.6 w/ Baseband 00
(I know it sounds backwards, but when I didn't do this, I broke 720p)
3. Rename the downloaded *.pkg to update.pkg and place in SDCARD.
4. Reboot then hold onto the volume keys
5. Upgrade
There's more details to the entire downgrade/upgrade process detailed here on the forum; if you want a step by step, I can write one for you when I get home.
I updated to Original 2.2 from Dell using this method, then ended up going to DJ_Steve's 2.2 because of the "server redirect" error (but I think it's fixed now).
I suggest updating to official 2.2 first - if you like it, stay with it - if not, at this point you can update to DJ_steve's easily.
Hi All,
Yea, I just bought my streak (from citicall HK) few day ago too.
But im not sure my unit baseband version is 00, 21 or etc. compare to
other HK version it look like hv little bit different...
Firmware version : 2.1-update1
Baseband version : GAUSB1A121211-EU
Kernel version : 2.6.29-perf
OEM Version : GAUSB1A121211
Build number : 10391
so I need backwards the baseband to 00 for fix that "broke 720p" issue
before upgrade that Streak_318_12821_00.pkg?
Thanks a lot!
sepsep
Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
I am now trying to figure out how exactly to do all the things suggested here!
Would be very thankful if someone could walk me through step by step!
Hey!
I also have the same Dell Streak version you have(STREAK.ANDROID.HK)!
Just post a simple step by step as following link:

I already have 2.2 with performance fix on my hand.

@fourbanana, Thanks for the link.. but unfortunately I do not understand chinese!
I tried to translate the page, but some of it doesnt make sense because of the literal translation by google!
Is there an english link please?
@oormila
Hi,
Sorry I didn't write more detail in the instructions -- but just try following any of the O2 2.1 to 2.2 Official guides~
The Hong Kong Dell Streak (OEM = com.android.hk) is exactly the same as the O2 2.1-update1. I remember when I first bought the streak brand new unlocked, the browser still opened the O2 website (I'm not sure if you noticed this) as the home page.
After you get to the official 2.2, it's easy to switch between the official and DJ_Steves roms.
@kohiiou,
I tried to upgrade to Android 2.2 by following the instructions on the link you gave... with GAUSB1A111800
But the problem is...my phone gets frozen with an exclamation mark after I have backed up the data, downloaded and tried to install the update.
Is this normal?
I opened the above link on my dell streak and tried to do the upgrade, should I open it on a computer?
At which step did you get an exclamation mark? Can you tell me in more detail what it said step by step exactly?
Was it a FOTA error?
@kohiiou,
Here is what I did,
I went to the link with version=GAUSB1A111800.. is this right?
Then i backed up and downloaded the upgrade package
It downloaded successfully, and then I clicked on upgrade now,
but within 10 secs, I got a mesg saying "Rebooting phone" and then immediately an exclamation mark,
And when i pressed the power button, here is what I read..
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1

Thanks!
That's because you need to stock recovery to flash a *.pkg file.
ClockWorkMod Recovery is for custom roms.
Since you already have ClockWorkMod installed, you can try upgrading to Steve's rom instead -- then upgrading to the official rom.
OR
I don't know if this will work and may crash your phone at boot... but you can try this at your own risk --
Go here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...o-com/323792/309-recovery-image/#entry1483575
1. Download: recovery.img.zip
2. rename the *.pkg to update.pkg
3. copy the update.pkg to /sdcard/update.pkg
4. shut down
5. disconnect usb cable
6. boot to fastboot (turn on and hold power; when LED lights up - hold on to power and camera)
7. select fastboot
8. connect usb cable
9. unzip recovery.img.zip to get recovery.img
10. open cmd terminal (if using windows)
11. fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
12. fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
13. when phone reboots - hold onto power and volume up/down keys
14. use volume keys to select update with update.pkg
15. hit camera key
16. watch it update
17. watch it reboot and then update on new screen
18. watch it reboot and watch dell logo for 5-10 mins
19. watch it reboot again and watch dell logo for 5-10 mins
20. it should finally boot up
step 16 - 20 is all automatic. You don't need to boot - don't turn off your phone, don't pull out memory card, don't touch~ just wait...
if it doesn't reboot around 5-10 mins on each step, it might've crashed; message me back or post here and we can try another way~
@kohiiou
I did exactly as you said and it was ok till step no.8
(I renamed the file as update.pkg and put it directly into sd card, not in any folder)
I the open the cmd terminal and type in what you say in step no.11 but the only message i get is that it is not a recognized as an internal or external command.
my phone doesnt even switch on now!!
tried removing the battery and putting it back..same screen!!
help..please!!
two things to check:
1. do you have fastboot.exe? if yes, then go to step 2.
If no, then look for and download fastboot first, and try continuing from step 8.
2. do you have the correct drivers?
to determine if you have the right drivers, does your phone go into "fastboot mode" after connecting through usb? if not - that means you may not have the correct drivers.
Try uninstalling all dell streak usb drivers (and any other dell streak sync software), then install these drivers:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
Continue from step 8 again after.
thanks for all the help, but somehow it doesnt seem to work for me~
Also the fact that i dont have windows now but mac makes it more difficult I suppose!
I wish I could move to 2.2 but..
If there is any guide for doing that on a Macbook, please let me know.
Bring your Streak to Kinghill in Sheung Wan and they will do the update for you in 10 minutes. Make sure to back up averything on the phone first. Kinghill telephone number is 25404610. Address:Room 4001-04, 40/F, Hong Kong Plaza, 186-191 Connaught Road West, Hong Kong.

Its been couple of months I am trying to root my Galaxy S2 I9100G which was bought from China. I made deep research on XDA Forum to find any easy method! Several threads out there. At first I tried to follow this thread
The above thread founded helpful for maximum users with any problem. I tried by the provided steps with their "Superatmos (version 2.1 is very stable and recommended)" Kernel.....And it worked...rooted...but vibration function was disable (other users also had this type of problem). Then tried also to check hardware of my phone and everything was fine..I was keep looking for solution and someone on that thread said to "Flash Again With Original Stock Kernel". Well then I flashed again with INDIAN Stock Kernel...........and the result------ my phone was not booting up, only the Yellow Triangle was showing with Samsung Logo. I was just to pull my hairs when I found that many other people had this type of problem and the reason is HARD BRICKED..!!!!
Luckily my phone was restarted in download mode, and then I flashed again with "Superatmos_v3.0_XXLA1" Kernel. and voila! it restarted, booted, rooted and vibration was working again....!
Please note- Binary counter / Yellow Triangle will show. please check this pdf file by the thread-owner --http://db.tt/BwlUTGIl
The only reason for sharing my details above by thinking, its possible that other users may have this kinda problem. so this thread would be make them to relax a little bit. Now below I am repeating the steps for Rooting a Chinese Galaxy S2 I9100G with links. (Followed to Paras Lehana's original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570377)
1) Download Odin and install -- View attachment Odin3-v1.85.zip
2) Download this Superatmos Kernel file -- View attachment superatmos_v3.0_XXLA1.tar Believe me it will work any problem. You may try other version, but I Superatmos ver 2.1 which is recommended most wont work...anymore.
3) Go to Download Mode : Turn off phone. Hold vol down+home+turn on button. Release the on button after phone is turning on. After a few second, release all buttons. After that vol up.
4) Run Odin, connect phone with usb cable, yellow COMx will be shown in Odin. (Re-partition should not be ticked (no pit file is required here)
5) Select PDA button, choose the downloaded kernel file (usually a .tar file)
6) Click Start, a PASS will be shown if succeed.
That's it. you are rooted. please check other guidance for CWM Recovery / Super User / Remove Triangle / Binary Counter etc. on the thread-owner's pdf file.
Note: Users who don't wanna flash their Chinese ROM with any other but still wanna access Google/Play etc. they could follow above steps. And after rooting please follow this thread --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29464673
Also users may follow below steps for replacing their Chinese ROM to Any Other.(After ROOT)
This method requirement is root access and Mobile Odin Pro only. Even if the phone are rooted with doomlord’s method and you chose not to have CWM support, it will work too
1) Download the stock firmware and copy it to the root of sdcard (internal). “tar” and “tar.md5”will be supported also.
please check on Sammobile for stock frimwares.
2) Install Mobile Odin Pro
you could search on google for Mobile Odin Pro to get shared pro version file.
3) Run the application and from “Open file …” select file that you just copied into the phone
4) If Everroot option is not ticked itself, please tick it if you want the phone to be automatically rooted during the process
5) I will recommend to tick all three options inside Everroot
6) And also please ticked the wipe data option but it is optional, but can reduce any bugs
7) Start the flashing
8) Result : root access, no CWM support, no busybox
Followed the original post----http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570377
I just wanted to associate together all required steps posted on XDA by some real professionals. So it will be easier for those people who is still searching on for Rooing Methods for Chinese Galaxy S2 I9100G.
Thanks
tried it, but couldn't get it to work
Thanks for that.
I have an SGS2

Build Info: Fri Oct 5 14:28:15 KST 2012
I tried flashing with the 3.0 XXLA1 tar as above and when the phone reboots it gets stuck on the first Samsung screen.
I can't get the old superatmos 2.1 kernel anymore (the "very stable and recommended' version) because the file has disappeared from Mediafire.
The old link was http://www.mediafire.com/?14qqbaw311b3wpm
I also tried 2.1.1 and 2.2 from http://www.android-hilfe.de/2869772-post2.html ... and I think 3.2 as well. They have the same problem.
I was a bit scared but downloaded the old I9100GOZHLPL file from
http://sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-i9100g/
and put the .tar.md5 file in the "PDA" box, clicked Start and that always takes it back to where it was (ie working again!).
I read through lots of threads here and followed all the little small instructions: USB debug mode on on phone, PIN off, KIES uninstalled on computer, no SD card. But battery and SIM card still in. The only bit I didn't follow was the "you have to install v1.0 first" advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22421729&postcount=150 because it wasn't in this post. And of course I would like to repeat what you did _exactly_ by getting the 2.1 kernel but can't find it anywhere anymore.
A Chinese page at http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/510191290.html talks about SuperOneClick working but I haven't tried it.
Another page at http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...37-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-all-things-root-4.html talks about a ROM that works on all phones except the Chinese variant
Any suggestions?
Haven't been able to find anything on this model as of yet, looking for info for rooting and any possible roms/hacks. also asking for thumper1436 who's original thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/please-help-stock-nextbook-10l-quad-t3254936 --there (sorry, not familiar with proper tagging features for the bulletin boards just yet).
thanks for any info in advance!
found some hope from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baIhaJ0Zz5U . not the exact model but a starting point maybe? we'll see.
::edit:: i'm an idiot. after mulling about and using the commands in the video comments, I kind of figured it out. booted into bootloader, flashed the boot and recovery img's via fastboot, and so far so good. rebooted into recovery and twrp is up (yay). now to work on rooting (hopefully as easy as installing the zip files through twrp). worst thing that can happen is I brick it. wish me luck.
oh yeah, android 5.0 kernel version 3.10.20-x86_64byt build v 1.0.7
okay, so attempted backup via twrp but it failed. figured wth, flashed recovery zip and super su zip from link in youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baIhaJ0Zz5U ). after rebooting, went to play store and installed a root checker, and viola. so root achieved.
keep in mind that using twrp wouldn't work without keyboard attached (which is annoying). controls are normal, though throughout the process the screen goes portrait mode instead of landscape, so figuring out "mouse" controls is wonky but doable. after root, using the touchscreen is all but gone (very very buggy, not sure how to fix as of yet). if i could find a recovery image from mfg it'd be great (already emailed them about it, but very very doubtful it'll show up).
tl;dr
root is possible, but makes system buggy.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR TABLET! WARRANTY IS VOID, ETC.
-----please do a clean install/wipe/factory reset first. it's always a good idea and can save you the headache from bugs that can occur from not doing this. please. google is your friend if you're a bit lost on how to do anything referenced in this "guide" ----
I take no claim of ownership of the files used in this process. respect goes out to the owners/originators.
1) install working adb drivers (through android sdk or however). I went with installing from here . don't forget the java crap (link is on this page too, just read the instructions).
2) download twrp and recovery files from here
3) i downloaded the nocturnal adb stuff as well from here . Was easier to keep files organized imo.
4a) extract files from both and put files from step 2 into the same directory as files from step 3 ( will look like image from looky looky when done right). don't forget to copy the recovery.zip and SuperSU246.zip to the root of an external sd card, going to need these in the future.
4b) i forgot about the developer options thing. if you're working with the tablet already booted up like normal, you have to enable developer options and turn on usb debugging (there's all the info on that in the youtube video referenced from the post above, or by google-ing it).
5) hold down shift and right click in window, select "open command window here". if tablet is loaded up like normal, you'll type in "adb devices" to make sure the drivers installed okay (it'll show a device if all is done right). if tablet is already in the bootloader, type in "fastboot devices" and it'll show a device if all is done right. google is your friend on how to get into the bootloader, or you can always load up the tablet, verify the adb drivers are working, and go to step 6.
6) type in "adb reboot bootloader". when it loads up, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and hit enter. When that completes, type in "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img" and hit enter. all should show okay (mine had a data error from the backup, didn't seem to effect much, though i'll be going back and redoing this with a clearing of data/factory reset first that will hopefully kill the buggyness of the touchscreen.
7) use the volume down button to change the option to "recovery mode" and select with power button. once there the fun begins.
8) as stated before, using the mouse pad seems the only way to go. up is up, down is down. the screen however is turned on it's side this way.
go to the "install" button and click on it. navigate to the root of the external sd card (click the storage button at the top, change to external_sd) and click ok. should have to just scroll down and select the recovery.zip file. click "add more zips" button and select the SuperSU246.zip file. click and drag the "swipe to confirm flash" button and release. wait for confirmation of success.
9) go back to main menu (I used the navigation buttons on the physical keyboard) and reboot into the system.
that's all there is. as stated, it is buggy as hell and the touchscreen is all buggered up. but using the keyboard/touchpad seems to work. not sure of too many other bugs yet as this is fresh off the press and I haven't done anything else with the tablet since doing this (besides installing the root check program from the play store and running it to verify it worked.
hope this helps someone =)

unfortunately no. i tried emailing the mfg to no avail (they claim they don't have the image files to restore them). haven't tried doing a factory restore yet, though i doubt that'd help. right now i just use it as a "laptop" with using the track pad instead of the touch screen. still a work in progress, just been busy with life happenings. will update if i can find out more (or if i manage to get my hands on another untouched unit that i can try and dump or something).
I have also tried contacting the mfg, and they told me the same thing. I read somewhere that this tablet was actually made by eFun. The stock rom for the model without LTE will work on this tablet, however there are somethings that don't work correctly, the first being enabling LTE and recognizing a SIM card. The others are camera orientation, and screen rotation is always upside-down.

I tried to change the Chinese Firmware to Global firmware to (Meizu Pro 7) and now I have a problem.
I followed this guide on this web:
chinahandys .net (I can't copy the link here since I have a new user
and so I deleted the file "boot.img"
I also couldn't open the Update.zip file with Winrar or another archive program.
then, I tried to do this :
"10. In FlashFire, select the small plus icon at the bottom right and select “Flash ZIP or OTA”. Select the “update.zip” file and confirm the pop-up with the tick at the top right"
but I couldn't find the “update.zip” file there.
finally, I tried to open the update.zip by pressing "Update".
since then my phone won't start.
The only thing i can do is pressing the "plus" button and another button below which will lead to me to a screen of Updating the system. when I try to do it's wrong because "firmware not found".
My phone is stock on the screen "flyme".
please help me!! I just bought this phone
(danhdongufixer) he is on Facebook.... He single handily brought my pro 7 plus back from the dead get ahold of him he's wizard .
I had same problem and this guy fixed my phone get in touch with him because there is nothing else you can do meizu left a lot of us hanging for over 3 months and no help . Good luck
You maybe don't use the good Firmware

but I couldn't find the “update.zip” file there.
finally, I tried to open the update.zip by pressing "Update".
since then my phone won't start.
The only thing i can do is pressing the "plus" button and another button below which will lead to me to a screen of Updating the system. when I try to do it's wrong because "firmware not found".
My phone is stock on the screen "flyme".
please help me!! I just bought this phone

Hi,
For 3 month, I hope you have find the solution. If you don't, here is mine :
I had the same problème on my phone.
I couldn't reinstall it, I think the version that I downloaded wasn't compatible with the "Chinese" version of my mobile.
You need to find the good firmware !
Could you try with this chinese firmware : MEIZU PRO7 Standard Version -Flyme6.1.3.2A-7.0
It's worked on my phone.
So,
Press and hold the volume up and power button until the screen goes on recovery mode.
Connect the device to the laptop or PC, you can open the device. You will see an empty partition named recovery.
Now copy the downloaded firmware of your phone and place it in the recovery partition. Just copy update.zip to recovery partition.
Now in the phone select update firmware and clear data and press next.
The phone will reboot and install the firmware.
Wait, wait, wait 15mn be patient.
tell me if it's working on your phone.
excuse me for my poor English !

Hello!
Was everything, such as google playstore and english language, still working on you phone after you updated the firmware?
I was also wondering if theres need to backup the IMEI somewhere?
Im currently running a modified verision of 6.1.3.2A which doesnt have all the features for the 2nd display and hence looking for an upgrade.

I used this chinese version less than 10mn. I would advise you to install the G firmware !
I didn't install the playstore (too thing in chinese in this firmware) that's why after running the version 6.1.3.2A, i used this tutorial :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75297402&postcount=70
"Download the firmware Flyme 6.1.3.2G from here
http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
after you can do the instructions in video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDp6oZL4Wx4 "
Be careful when you install superSU to do the same thing as in the video. I don't do the same than on the vidéo that's why i need to reinstall the chinese firmware. After the installation i wait 15mn and my phone stays on Flyme. i restart it and it worked for installing busybox and flashfire.
I wish you bon courage !

Ah ok, so you only used it to be able to flash the global rom on?
Ive read multiple places that its not possible to update from A to G, thats why i was thinking about going to the 7.0.0.0A ROM instead. The shop i bought it from (CECT, who are not very well informed at all) told me it would brick the phone to go to G from A, my phone is apparently not intended for global sale thats why they make their own version and flashes it on...
So now im just looking for someone who can confirm that updating to the A-rom wont remove google play or english.
EDIT: I have the Helio P25 model
