[Q] Linux on phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
Sorry, I don't know if my thread is in the right place.,
I have a soft-bricked phone, stuck in Odin mode, because I flashed a S7390 Rom on my S7390G device. I wanted to re-stock my phone, and no S7390G can be found on the internet,( and I found none with a working phone to extract and upload this rom.)
Here is my question: I read on the internet some articles saying that some people unbricked their soft-bricked phone with a Linux for phone distro, replacing their android OS. Since I don't have a compatible rom for my device, do you think I can install Linux on this phone? Where can I donwload it? Is there a simple process (I'm a beginner and my English is far from being perfect)
Thanks for your help guys! We really need it! :good:

Another question about Alcatel OT-990:
Why can't I send MMS with data disabled? Is this an Android 2.2 weirdness or a weirdness of this specific device? On Android 2.3 on different device it is possible to send mms with data disabled.

I wanna to Update my android 2.2.2 to higher versions that possible .
Did you try this?
I've tried this app more than one time and it always failed to complete the misssion .
I hope you have another way to done this upgrade .
waiting for your reply.//.
Does the FOTA app on the device report that there is an update? Did you try to download it and install it over the air with the use of this app? What happened?
There is a way to install Gingerbread on OT-990 and it is explained on this forum, but, lot of providers have decided to stay on Froyo since GB on this device is known to drain baterry fast.
If You still want to experiment with upgrading Your software search forum, here is complete guide.
Let me remind You that this will void Your warranty and if you make a mistake device can be bricked.
Once You install ROM from instructions in link, Yo can install another GB custom ROM, I sugest Marina Lite.
But you must know, custom roms require new bootloader wich is included in first tutorial (first link)
And, yes, when you ask a question, try to be more specific. I didn't understand a thing from first post (or, I couldn't find question in it)
thanks for your work , but this way isn't fully and i don't get my phone rooted yet .
So, you can instruct me to root my phone first .
thanks for you time .....

[Q] Polaroid PMID920

Hello. I have read a lot of forums and I have not found a solution that works for my problem. I was trying to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588991 this guide and made a mistake along the way. Now it will only boot into recovery mode. I have tried to do a data wipe/factory reset and it was no help at all. The tablet is a Polaroid PMID920. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm still looking for help with this issue. As I said I have tried to do a datawipe/factory reset and it didn't help at all.

Can someone please help me with this issue. I am still unable to fix it or get it to load at all. Only thing it will load is the recovery menu.

ok I don't know what device it is
but you have to do the following :
1- look for android firmware for the device
2- download the correct odin software version that will be compatible with your device
3-put your device in downloading mode
4-flash the rom into your device using ODIN

Hello, thank you for replying.
I am not sure where to look for android firmware. I have searched the tablet's website and they don't have the firmware up for it, where would I look for it? I also don't know where to look for Odin software or to know if it's the correct one. I am pretty much a noob to all of this. Where would I look for Odin software? (Google?)

I don't know about your firmware but you google it. What is your manufacture ?
here you can look for the compatible odin version for your device (mostly support Samsung devices)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539
here you can download the version (both are good)

Manufacture is in the title. "Polaroid" Model is PMID920
Hey so I'm thinking about biting the bullet to finally trying to root & update this pmid920 to google play. But I guess I'm a little worried as this fellow messed his up & couldn't put stock fw back on it. http://www.FreakTab.com/showthread.php?t=11960 or if I just wanted to keep it simple should I just root & sideload apps to it? Or what do u think this fellow did wrong to totally mess it up? I just wanna keep it simple to let kids have some games on it & me to bs on it n such. Thanks in advance Ron.

[Q] Tracer GS1 - rom help needed

Hi everyone!
I bought myself Tracer Oxygen GS1 and i had some problem with its software. I successfuly rooted smartphone, but then i tried to install new rom i found under this link:
The problem is, i bricked my phone. However it's still somehow recognized by my pc, so I'm not loosing my faith that it will still work.
So, if anyone of you could supply me original (or just working) rom for this device i would be very very grateful
In this link you can read something more about this phone, I'm aware that it was made in China, but still, while it was working it wasn't that bad
here's the link (no spam)

I need akai a8455 rom

Hello everyone, I'm new here so I don't know where to post this
First of all, I have other devices so it's not about buying a new one. I need this device for the apps using its id
My tablet was stuck on boot so I flashed a rom that was supposedly for my device. I never wanted to flash a rom but I needed to. The touch screen and wifi didn't work. I was able to attach a mouse to it so I tested the wifi. I flashed many other roms but the touch screen didn't work.
So, if anyone has a stock rom for the device or any rom that may work on it please send me a link. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything useful.
Oh, and if someone who has the device did a backup for the stock rom can I flash it after that?? Not sure if this sounds stupid. I don't know much about this.
