Hey, so I got the new Gionee M6S Plus from China and was having problems trying to use Google Play (downloaded by apk). I also downloaded the Google Play Services apk and ran that (if I didn't, Google Play wouldn't even open). But whenever I try to open Google Play, it only shows the white loading screen and seems to "freeze" on the white screen. Also, I keep getting errors messages about "Google Play Services has stopped" messages and was wondering if that was related.
Thanks

I just ported from LG L90 to LG G2 mini d618.
original post is Here
thanks a lot for @BigMajster as the creator
You need:
-LG G2 mini d618
-Custom recovery
-30mb free space on external SD card
-external SD card with backup or update.zip with system
Warning:
- Do backup your ROM and internal SD, because this will erase the partitions /system, /cache & /data (including /data/media).
Ready? Let's get started:
-Boot phone to recovery mode
-Install PartitionTableTool_d618.zip from sdcard
-Now you have 3 options to choice:
Maximal- system partition have only 730mb so you can install only custom rom like CynogenMod
Optimal- system partition have 1,5gb so you can also install stock LG rom, but you still have more data.
Stock- this is orginal partition table

Same here, i didn't know this need a port, in my case worked perfectly only editing updater-script
Its funny to see that lg set 890mb for cache, mostly useless

Just edit update-script from the zip. Remove the first line.
Now I can't mount Data/Cache, could I do something to fix this? I don't really want to flash a new kdz. :/
EDIT: Okay, I've fixed it, palyed with the wiping buttons and rebooted a few times.

It kinda worked but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I guess i'll just have to flash my rom again. How do I enter cwm? What button combinations?
for recovery is: hold power + vol up, when you see lg logo, release both keys and press it and hold again until you see a warning for deletion of data, select yes with volume keys and enter with power key, both times yes

Hi, possible to port to LG G2 D802?
This partition apparently holds the IMEI (well on the Moto G 2013 it does) but I don't even see that it exists on this phone (xt1527). I can't seem to make a backup of it but the phone works so, is it even there or have they changed how it works?
bump, same issue
seems a bunch of us have this issue.
sad there seems to be no answer anywhere..

here is what i got listing partitions.

Not up to speed on this device yet but it seems to me that if you know where the PDS partition is from a terminal you should be able to use a form like:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk??? of=pds.img
provided your current working directory has enough room in it to hold the .img file

on another phone it's mmcblk12 (i have been doing a LOT of searching on this)
i looked at the root folder on my phone and i see a shortcut to "pds"
when i open it it's empty.
i have some experience with Linux but i am no pro and it's been a while for my nix activity.
and i have almost no experience with Android.
i am good with computer stuff though. cracking, coding reversing, graphics etc.
i love modding everything i can.
i say that to give a bit of context to this..
if anyone else has any idea or leads on what i can do or where to look i am all ears.
i posted that partition command because i found it on Google
and i remember using it (ls) before trouble shooting driver issues on Linux in the past.
you guys will notice the console log i posted does not list a pds partition by-name..
is it because it's not mounted maybe ? or is it using a different name on this phone ?
i'd love to try and update to 5.1 (from 5.0..2) on my Telus XT1527 but i think it's time i make a PDS backup before i carry on any further.. so far i have installed a custom kernel and TWRP + root.
So i can't continue until i figure out a way to back that stuff up (irresponsible otherwise i think)
Based on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138220 the OS uses /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and it was dumped to the /tmp directory.
from here you can use dd to flash it to an sd card where you can read it to see if it has pds information. You can also use (mount -a) to mount all partitions and do another ls -l

That says Atrix though and on another posting i found it was mmcblk0p12
If you look at the log i posted earlier that number mmcblk0p3 is mapped to DDR
I have been dumping the partitions and checking them (if the file size is roughly correct)
I heard it was suppose to be about 8mb as an .img on another device.
and i have one downloaded as an image and extracted (some other guys data)
so if i find the files on my phone i think i can match them to my downloaded files.
i also got a windows tool to extract the images ready..
One last thing i said i seen a shortcut to "pds" on the filesystem of my Telus XT1527
so i take it that it's there just that i can't see it or something.
I'm basically poking around in the dark LOL
edit:
oh and i seen on other phones that pds partition can be backed up with TWRP.
The TWRP i have installed does not show it for me (i am using Squid's TWRP)
The partitions are probably associated with the OS version and not the hardware so you should probably compare your version to a similar version.
If you can find fstab file you should be able to (cat fstab) and see what the partitions are mounted as.
The partition should be mounted or else your device will not work.
I've modded fstab on linux before but i am not finding it i think on the XT1527
found a couple with "fstab" in the title and it don't say much..
just one line about mounting the sdcard.
Thanks but i am lost.. i wonder how it's created because it's prob not files in the Firmware package right ?
So then i'd have to assume the contents of PDS would be created on the phones first boot maybe.
i don't know what else to do really i am going around in circles ..i might just say screw it and give up.
too bad guys here who DO have the ability to find it can't help
100% of Moto-E users seem to carry on flashing their phones with out it
so i take it backing up the PDS is pointless ?
Just kind of dumb i see tutorials on how to do it all over but no one can claim it actually works LOL
If you google it you will see what i am saying (people tell you to you to do it becuase it's sooooo important..
then it doesn't work ahahaha
thanks for your help conductive.
edit:
Oh and guys.. i tried to do this because... Q13:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/faq-frequently-questions-moto-e-2015-t3044929
The stickied topic here tells us all how to do it.
..but did anyone at all bother to verify it actually works ?
Ok so i think i got it.. sort of.
I installed "Root Explorer Pro" and when i opened it this time it showed files/folders.
I then selected .zip it up and copied it manually to my sdcard then to my PC.
I have been hex viewing the contents with UltraEdit and the files contain data.
I also compared to a pds dump from an Atrix and they are some what similar.
I did see a reference in one of the root config files about the pds partition though..
I can't recall which file it was but it said something about
setting the dummy directory "pds" as persistent.
I don't know what is going on but i got the content off the phone i think.
edit:
Here is what the root of that folder looked like (folder names)

.bt_nv.bin

This is the phone I just bought for my mother:
Bought less than a week from each other. Same phone, different android versions- mine Android 4.4.4 and hers is Android 5.1.
How can I upgrade mine to 5.1? Upgrade button in the settings menu returns the server is unreachable.

There is no way to update via pc. Look up ZTE USA service number and give them a call. They will connect you with tech support to get it sorted.
Did you ever get this sorted out? I just bought the same phone and it came with 4.4.4. Called ZTE and they said there's no update for this phone yet
Ive got a zte z936l I can obtain a temp root on it with king root but I think its unstabe can't seem to flash a custom
If you want to root this phone, you need to obtain temp root and dump your entire ROM to a safe place, like a computer. Then SWAP boot and recovery. And boot the ROM via recovery buttons. This will give you full root but when youre done using it you newd to switch boot and recovery back. ZTE is known for their system lockdown and this way circumvents it. If you can obtain the 5.1.1 bootstack from your moms phone via temp root and using dd commands to dump we can ALL have 5.1. All we will need is a twrp build.

I seen this above post. Full root can be gained if instructions are followed. Can you confirm this? I may just email them and pit in the request for both of the zte lever phones here in the house.
As for following your instructions, I'd have no issue doing as you say and providing 5.1 for xda. I'd prefer some more detailed instructions and possibly a irc/messaging platform for instant communication.
After temp root, open terminal and dump everything in "dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/" with dd commands onto your sdcard or PC. (dd if=/path/to/partition of=/dump/location/filename)
From there we decompile the candidates for boot and recovery and once we know which is which, they can be swapped. Then you reboot and obtain temp root again, which this time it should give you full root. When you're done using it, just swap them back and reboot.
I'm not sure about that guy saying you can just unlock bootloader because even with twrp the system will have ro lock on it unless boot and recovery are swapped. Look at the zmax if you're curious how it works.

I am installing ADB now and will follow these instructions the best I can.
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), they do not show my device so which one is it that I need? That link I posted about root and boot loader codes, he shows 2.8.70 and the closest device I see is the ZTE Blade.
The fella you replied to said he could get temp root with king root.

They are all .img files except a few. You may simply leave them blank.
As for twrp, somebody has to actually build it for our device. We currently have none.
Once the partitions are all dumped, please zip them and link me.
There should also be a fastboot mode we have access to, if we do, we can all simply flash the lollipop bootstack.

Oh **** yeah they're named. Zte has been known to only use /by-num/.
For fastboot to work you will need the fastboot drivers installed. Not sure if it uses the standard fastboot drivers or its own so Google might help. Try the ones in the zmax forum. You're the guy with lollipop, right?

STOCK FIRMWARE FOR E2303 FLASHABLE ZIP
UPDATE: Uploading because this time IT WORK! Thanks to @TheVektor for updater-script! But this isn't pre-rooted, because it not flash SuperSU. But it's still awesome because if you have problems with flashmode or other you can flash this as a recovery zip! Tested on E2303 with TWRP. Made with PRFCreator

STOCK PRE-ROOTED FIRMWARE FOR E2303 FLASHABLE ZIP
Hey guys! I had a problem entering flashmode and the only way for unbrick my phone was enter into recovery/flash a zip or fastboot flash.
For this, i made a pre-rooted firmware with PRFcreator. Now I am testing it. It will not install a recovery because xzdualrecovery is not compatible with our device. That means you have to flash it manually before start installing this.

Hey! I'm interested in this ROM, my device has a locked bootloader and I think this would solve out the issue of rooting without unlocking the bootloader. I can test the ROM. My model is: E2306
Do you have any finished projects?

Guys, the rom are completed, the problem is that we haven't a working updater-script file. It is needed for flash roms, and I am working to make one that work. I can upload the rom and give you the link, but if it not flash, where is the sense in that?

So we need create updater-script using similar formats:
Code:
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "ls", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p30") != "0"
AND
assert(package_extract_file("system.ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p30"));
Im not 100% sure this is the problem, but i hope it can help for you.
Edit:
OK! zip flashing finished (system flashed!), but supersu not installed by updater-script... idk why.
My updater-script: http://pastebin.com/8Lg7UseV
Ohh! Really Really Really thank you!! Now i can unbrick my phone and finally complete the roms!

STOCK FIRMWARE FOR E2303 FLASHABLE ZIP
UPDATE: Uploading because this time IT WORK! Thanks to @TheVektor for updater-script! But this isn't pre-rooted, because it not flash SuperSU. But it's still awesome because if you have problems with flashmode or other you can flash this as a recovery zip! Tested on E2303 with TWRP. Made with PRFCreator

Its flashable zip too... not important pre-rooted or not after flashing is done, simple you can install supersu.zip too. :good:
But You try to build pre rooted Rom?

Stock firmware for e2303 flashable zip
Link?
26.1.a.2.167/r12a
Can someone explain what means R12A in 26.1.A.2.167/R12A ?
so, does anybody have this flashable stock rom? I could really use it right now...
Is there already a way to root the CAT S40?
yes
Important Update:
A few months after using this method, I realise that now system updates fail on my phone.
I managed to unroot the phone using supersu, but no luck, updates still fail...
If I manage to bypass this, I will update this post, but so far, no luck...

Got root yesterday, but not sure how safe method is...
Steps performed:
- I first downloaded KingRoot-4.1.0.245.apk from an untrusted source that I can't remember I still have the file though, and could share it if needed, but again, I don't really trust it - I just hope there's no malware.
md5 of the file is 8b411efbf70b8d7f70d12bb4984775e2
- Once succesfully rooted with Kingroot, I Installed "supersu me" from playstore and used it to replace kingroot with supersu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro&hl=en
This seems to have removed all the chinese bloatware installed by KingRoot... but here again, I can't know for sure...
root access remains after reboot, titanium backup allowed me to remove some apps (like the cat ones) so it seems to work fine.
nandroid backup seemed to backup things correctly, but the recovery.img with a size of 8192 leaves me dubious....
So far I was unable to find any custom recovery for the CAT S40 though... I guess that should be the next step before starting to try to find custom roms... ^^
Any clue about safety of the method I used, custom recovery or custom roms for S40 would be welcome
edit:
When searching manually, I believe I got a better recovery dump;

I have success root my cat s40 with kingroot but i wanted change root app to SuperSU and phone had software brick :/
Is any method to reset this phone without warrianty? ( i have now on warrianty sent this phone)
Is any program from CAT for recover ROM? e.g. for samsung odin?
And where can download roms for this phone?
No clue about roms or recoveries so far... I got root with the method described, but again, not sure how safe.
How did you brick it? did you do as indicated in post or did you try manually?
someone has problems with the touch?

Do you think this (brick) also happens when i use:
-NewKingRoot (uptodate)
after that
-SuperSume Pro.

i know kingroot working good on this phone but
SuperSU bricked my Cat S40
Now i use galaxy s6 Duos.
i recommended DON'T USE SuperSume App if you want change KingRoot to SuperSU = brick s40.
if you want try you must know
s40 + brick = send for warrianty
Samsung phones + brick = samart switch or odin
Problem isn't program for change to SuperSU but SuperSU.
When i used on my galaxy s6 SuperSU root via TWRP without custom boot.img (lollipop 5.1.1)
I had too brick for using SuperSU on lollipop 5.1.1 must be boot.img MOD but i don't know what. when i used custom kernel with supersu my phone normal boot but zelf rooted = brick this is too in s40.
when you find problem 5.1.1 lollipop + supersu i think you can slove problem with SuperSU on s40.
I don't found this slove to SuperSU i used custom boot.img with my zelfcompiled kernel.
when you find slove to this problem met SuperSU + boot.img write here i want too know what is problem met boot.img in lollipop 5.1.1 met SuperSU

Thanks, then i won't root my Cat S40 for the moment. Because i don't want to keep Kingroot on it all the time.
Oh, and i send Super-sume Pro developer 'MrgatesJunior' a email with request to solve the Super-Sume pro issue on Android 5.1 CAT S40 with link to this postings. Hope he 'll find a solution / update Super Sume pro soon
We can confirm that removing King(o)Root with scripts and replacing it with SuperSU (as would be highly desirable) leads to a bricked S40.
Has anyone perhaps found a way of doing a full backup using a tool similar to SP Flash Tool for MTK devices?
That would help play around without sending the phone in on warranty claim every couple of days...
Cat s40 success SuperSU rooted

Cat S40 android 5.1
Same problem.
I tried to do it by adb & fastboot. But I cannot make the option "OEM unlocking" visible in "Developer options". Tried to change dates as recommended in www, but nothing. I have one idea - my s40 from USA. Mb use VPN for router... But I lost few days for finding resolve. I'm tired.
I never will buy production of Caterpillar. This production not for people.
