android 701
lg aristo2 metro pcs
rooted/magisk
Every time my phone boots up- the very beginning process is a warning dialogue explaining my bootloader is unlocked, not sure if that's normal. My experience with computers is above-average, but with cell phones its very slight.
Having just rooted my new phone (Aristo 2) with a PC, I'm not even sure how to format/reset while keeping the root TWRP Magisk etc.. if I'm being honest I'm not entirely sure how to even use TWRP & Magisk.
regardless, if somebody could please instruct me on what to do to fix this error- I would be very thankful, also any additional information in regards to the mention applications would be much appreciated. (how do i reset but keep Magisk/TWRP etc)

I just skimmed your posts and the problem may be the system version you're trying to install apps made for a higher Android version.
I wish I could be of help, but as I have suggested before to other members is to post this kind of issue on Android Central forums.
We are all under the same Android umbrella
Ps: I don't think it's practical to insult potential help folk.... Maybe I read it wrong.
Good luck

Hi everyone,
I've been an android user for a long time and I just bought a SGS3 on ATT, I was ready to start flashing until I saw this thread, and now I don't even want to root.
I've read all the threads I could find on this issue and they all said slightly different things, so I'm looking for a concrete answer to this question:
Are any devs working on this, and if so are they making progress toward a real solution in the future? (I ask this because I've read some people saying this may never be fixed)
I appreciate your responses, and I hope they do find a solution so I won't be stuck on stock forever.
Also: If I do lose my IMEI, does everything still work except 4G?
1. root
2. triangle away
3. if it messes up, return and say 'i dunno wtf happened, it just happened randomly'
4. ????
5. profit
6. YOLO
EDIT: Well I managed to get clockworkmod installed and everything; still having some issues with aspects of it, but in general I'm good. I'll probably make a dedicated thread to the device; if anyone wants to suggest a proper forum section, be my guest.
Ok, so I need some assistance on installing CWM or another recovery mode on my YourPad P4. I've already rooted and installed ROM Manager, but it could not find a compatible CWM version.
Now, first off I have also been unable to get an exact or better identification of this tablet other than it being sold as a "YourPad P4" and that it's model is MID; so I might also need help getting more details to better assist the finding of a compatible or working recovery.
Here is some information about it...
* Site purchased from/detail page:
http://www.yourstoreonline.net/yourpad_p4_new_android_40/id2040716/product.html
Don't worry, I got it for ~$100 (with the 1GB RAM upgrade), not the displayed price on the site!
* About tablet page info:
Model number: MID
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 3.0.8
[email protected] #2
Build number: 20120807-A721
Also, before I start messing with it I was going to make a nandroid backup to share for others...does nandroid backup firmware as well? I've never needed to restore a backup so I have no idea what goes into it and can't find a quick answer. I'd like to make a backup of a clean as possible system to share for anyone wanting it. Although I'm surprised that its not been mentioned on xda, I'd expect this tablet to have at least been asked about once considering it was mentioned on woot.
Thanks to anyone for any help, and I apologize if this should be in a different section. If so, could a mod please move it before any fuss is made.
And now, I'm off to bed (so I won't be responding/checking this for a few hours).
Not to sure about the rules for thread bumping, but I just wanna make sure this gets seen soon (as I'll be very busy and it will be hard to work on it next week and the the days that follow).
Also I thought it was worth mentioning now that only really mentions of this tablet I can find are in posts by me, ahahahahaha
EDIT: Oh, and I havn't verified I even have a recovery partition yet as I can't cat /proc/mtd
it's been about a week now and no response; I even posted it over here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...cs-need-help-recovery-install-yourpad-p4.html
so bumping, if anyone at the very least knows some mystical other worldly site that somehow manages the chance of providing me an answer over the ever amazing xda; please post
tabletrepublic.com/forum/iview-760tpc-ployer-momo9/iview-760tpc-k-ployer-momo9-firmware-rom-releases-1610.html

Thanks alot for this, I'll definitely read it over a few times before attempting. Hopefully this will work out. Thread is still open for any other input, so anyone else coming here that can provide any additional help go ahead and post.
Well I still have been unable to get a recovery option going. I tried the link mentioned by AJ88 and it didn't work for me. Essentially the link boiled down to 2 simple adb commands and a custom recovery.img. First step was to "adb push recovery.img /data/", but I ran into a permission denied issue and could not figure out a way around it (didn't want to mess with chmod, but I did run the "fix permissions" script in the clockworkmod rom manager. So instead I just pushed the recovery.img to my sdcard. Next step was "adb shell "cat /data/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg; sync""; so instead I went "adb shell" then su to make sure I didn't get any more issues, then just "cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg; sync". Rebooted and tried all combinations of key pressings to access recovery with no luck (even tried via adb). So any ideas on my next course of action?
youtPad P4 issues
Dear EarthBoundX5,
Please do not feel alone in what I might be perceiving as "buyer's remorse" as I also own this device and have begun to have issues with it functionality. Initially I was attracted to this device for what seemed a myriad of available functions and abilities, however I'm really starting to believe the old saying, "you get what you pay for".
My main issue at this point is when using the free Kindle app, after selecting my book, the screen goes completely blank and does NOT come back with the reading material I've selected. If I touch the back button, I get a brief flash of the screen showing the page that I'm on in the book, but after that nothing. I've tried rebooting the machine, currently trying a fresh install of the Kindle app, we'll see how that goes TODAY.
I also have another off-brand tablet, iBridge, which was purchased during the frustration period of waiting for YourStore . com to get their act together and send me the YourPad. Funniest part about it though is that the iBridge comes with a booklet thats 4x the size of the poorly written "booklet" that the YourPad people put out.
I'm sorry that I don't have a solution for your problem as I'm a complete newb with the tablet world, but wanted to at least touch base with you to let you know "you are not alone. I am here with you...." LOL
Found you with a google search for online help regarding YourPad, and it brought me to you, and this seems like the most helpful place I might have found in reference to oddball tablet issues. Take care, have a good day. and I'll check back in to notify regarding Kindle reinstall.
Well I've been waiting for a reply to either of my threads with no luck, so today I figured I'd just try again the method of manually setting up a recovery, and this time I just decided to try and hold every button I could while powering and and BAM RECOVERY MODE *****ES!!!!!! So guess either I must've just screwed up last time or something. Anyways, I'll edit the OP to reflect all this later...maybe start a dedicated thread with any quirks I figure out down the line using this tablet; and of course post my nandroid backup. When I setup my 2nd YourPad, I'll make sure to make backups of any files I may have had to change (ie, nandg, etc). The question is, what section would such a thread belong?

I don't feel any buyer's remorse...yet at least, haha. If I end up having the same issues as you, maybe I'll change my mind; but I really don't see much wrong yet with this tablet. I mean, obviously its cheap and all, but for the poor man its fantastic. But ya, I HATE the YourStore, they took FOREVER to ship out the tablets. Anyways, for people like you, it really makes me thing I should take point on this tablet and start a dedicated thread.
After reading and reading and reading I am officially stuck hopefully someone or @stifilz can help. Hoping that i just missed something after reading too much info.
UK Sony Tablet S region changed when ICS came out for early update from US. Decided do JB update yesterday the flasher V3 got up to the end of data transfer part and tablet froze up and all coms went. left it for a while but nothing. After a hard switch off it hung at the sony logo. Got into recovery and did factory reset to try clear any issues or so i thought. Still hung at logo. Downloaded various ICS files and renamed to update.zip and tried to reflash. They all fail with the E: Prohibit error, occasionally error failed to mount system1.
I've attached my recovery log if anyone can help sort this il be a happy man.
TIA
After reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433323 I am starting to think a lot of these topics go unanswered and point to a flaw in the flasher, my region.prop is also missing and can only presume the tablet requires this for an update and the factory reset removes the root so cannot push another .prop over. So for all intents and purposes the tablet be fooked. I really do hope I am wrong but if i am right then why is this flashing tool still available after so many screw ups.
Well the screw up your are referring to is your own as if you had done your research you would know that trying to flash jb to the tablet s and not the xperia s will mess the tablet up as pointed out in numreouse posts and questions. so the reason people don't reply is that the questions have all ready been answered serveal times and the warings are there
rooted lighting wildfire on unoffical j.b from benni
and sony XTS rooted stock j.b thanks djrbliss
I presumed I had done enough reading beforehand as the tool said Sony Tablet S so seemed the right tool for the job. I've flashed many things over the years and never screwed one up so this is bit of a shock to the system, My first reaction to your reply was to reply don't be smart then my second was to go check tool again, then third was ah f*#k. 26 letters in the alphabet and sony had to call the next model an S too. I cant say i keep up with tablet technology so thought they same thing pre flash,I didnt expect my tablet to be replaced in market so quickly after i bought one. Oh well lesson learnt now the question is wtf can be done if anything. If i send in for repair do they spot this instantly and try hammering me for a heavy bill to fix. Its under guarantee but they do say software issue they wont touch it.
I did read a lot about these problems but only reference i can find was today on page 36 of the flasher tool post. I blame mondays and my obvious lack of cognitive skills on them.

I read this article and made the same mistake:
androidadvices.com/sony-tablet-steps-update-latest-jellybean-firmware-click
I should have read the details better. I commented to the article that I bricked my device but it was apparently deleted...
The important thing I would appreciate knowing is if the tablet is completely unfixable. I just spent $150 on a new tablet but was hoping i could at least recover my tablet S and give it away.

Now thats why i thought it was ok i read that site first too rather than here. Too much reading after the event not before. So who are these idiots at androidadvices.com? The advice below is from that site and is what got me to reset tablet. Now i'm even more annoyed at this.
Note: Just in a rare case if the device doesn’t boot up or show the home screen then long press the power button to turn off and then re follow the instructions.

Naming the file update.zip does not help as we can not see what is fully going on. Anyway it fails due to a messed up vendor. This would make sense as JB files would mess them up. Then it switches partition and that also fails due to vendor, but a slightly different error.
Anyway installing 0042 should work as they do not rely on vendor files. This is HoneyComb 3.2.1R2 and it is ROOTABLE. From there you can use flasher again. See my signature for links

Hey thanks for getting back to me its appreciated. Tried all three files you sent link for. None worked it gives the prohibit/sku error. I've attached recovery files of each files attempt if you like to look at it. I've looked through a lot of your other posts and a few very similar ones as this and come to conclusion its damaged beyond repair and am tempted to use the warranty and chance my luck as its got few month left. Unlocked bootloader or the legendary files you have mentioned in another post would be useful but doubt we get to see either soon.
edit
Here's a shot in the dark...As tablet was originally a UK model and was changed for ICS is there any possibility that it has somehow defaulted back to UK and file signed-nbx03_003-ota-0042.001.zip would help. Its only thing i think ive not tried but cant find that version anywhere. Idea popped in head last week as there was a lot of reference to sku error being a region specific problem but then it went away until just now.

Sorry should have mention (but thought you would notice) they were the same file. Ok that is failing for the same reasons. Seems it is pretty messed up. You tried a factory reset yet? If not you may have some adb access on the boot logo???
Here comes a rant

I did notice but i eternal optimist and sorta hoped they different files even though filesize gave it away plus I already had that file from your links in sig but wouldnt be first time a company names files the same but different regions. Factory reset did numerous times now.
Didnt realise could get adb from logo screen so got hopes up again when lo and behold there in device manager was MTP device. After couple hours messing with it and getting lots of errors saying no driver etc I figured out putting hardware id in different adb usb driver inf files (USB\VID_054C&PID_05B3&REV_0100) would give me a working driver or so I thought. The PC decided after few minutes to give yellow exclamation and driver no longer works. Persevered with it until got driver stable but from command prompt adb says no devices in list.
Now all this happened early hours since 3am so not having greatest amount of patience (4hours not bad) i took a huff turned everything off and said [email protected]#k it ive had enough. This aint ever gonna work im resigned to this fact.
Now i may have not read one tiny part of the AIO tool which turned out to be biggest mistake i made in all this however for anyone else unfortunate to have a blonde moment would it not be possible to put some sort of checker in the tool to determine what is actually attached to be flashed based on hardware ID or something before any system changes occur. Having flashed many many devices from phones to consoles each and every one has a check of some sort before hand.
However putting that aside I think its disgraceful how Sony have treated this tablet and how locked down it actually is. This pains me but the £300 wouldve been better on a damn ipad.
@stifilz appreciate help you tried to give mate
Please forgive me if I have posted this on the wrong sub-forum. As I am new here, please take care of me.
So, I rooted my phone few weeks ago. After tweaking some stuffs, I had grown fondly of what I had done, yet the satisfaction of improving didn't leave me that much.
I stumbled upon SystemUI.apk and decided to change it (because I wanted to customize). I was trying to replace it with another SystemUI, but as the stupid me, I accidentally deleted it instead of overwriting. After, the screen blacked out. I also forgot to put a recovery. Now it's in the state of bootloop.
Therefore, I tried many ways and the idea of replacing the somewhat malfunctioned ROM with its original firmware, where it includes the original SystemUI. It was said to wipe data or something like that (which I don't have those recovery tools or whatsoever). Well, when I tried to flash the new SystemUI, it said "installation aborted".
It really frustrates me how come my seemingly customizable now I can't get a grip, yet this case of mine reminded of how much precautionary measures are important in taking such modifications.
All I really want now is the solution (if possible), then I would take those warning beforehand before anything like this would likely happen again.
Thanks for reading. Best regards.
Hi
The gravity depends on the device you have so what device (exact model) do you have?
Well, thanks for replying.
Actually, my phone is of our local brand. It is named MyPhone Agua Rio Lite. You can search the specs if you wanted to.
I have a horrible ZTE Valet Z665C (Tracfone), which is stock and running Jelly Bean 4.1.1. This is my first dumb, "smart phone" that I have owned, but I have owned a few computers so I should be able to understand anything you want me to try.
I can no longer use the cell because every 2-3 seconds another error message(ex. Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped; OneDrive has stopped; YouTube has stopped etc.) pops up and I can't clear them fast enough to do anything. If I try to uninstall an app that I installed, I get another stop error message, and nothing uninstalls. I tried Safe Mode, but the same thing happens. I have successfully done a factory reset via Recovery in the past, but now, even though it goes through the motions successfully, it doesn't actually factory reset anymore and remove any app I installed, and I still get tons of stop messages.
Is there a way to find a factory "update.zip" for my cell, so I can try to reset it that way? Can I attach the usb cable to my laptop, and somehow uninstall the apps I installed, just in case one is corrupted and causing these problems? If you have any ideas, I'm game to try them.
Thanks in advance.
...Stumped?
Seven days have gone by, and not one reply other then mine, here lol. If my post would get more traffic from experts elsewhere, I hope an admin or moderator can advise me. Thanks in advance.
This is a "Developers" forum, yet not one expert can take the time out of her/his day to offer up any suggestions?
Mods, is this in the wrong sub-forum, and if so, can you move it to the correct spot? I first asked for help in May of 2017 and there still has not been anyone able to suggest anything that may help at all. Thanks in advance.
