[Q] HCL ME V1 tablet stuck in a boot loop, power button only works when 100% charged.

Okay, I know I'm supposed to search seven hells (watching too much Game of Thrones) before I post my question. The intro video was clear enough about that. But no, nothing helped. So here goes....
Hi guys,
My HCL ME V1 tablet (ICS 4.0.4, kernel 3.x.x, rooted with ME U1 root via SuperOneClick. Several forums said that this root would work for V1 as well) is stuck in a boot loop. The rest button does not solve the problem, neither does a hard reset (it simply does not go into hard reset from all the methods suggested online across various forums). I scoured heaven and earth to find how to go into recovery for this particular tablet but none of the solutions work.
The power button works only once when it's in 100% charge (green light on the top corner of lcd). After that I have to wait for it to get discharged completely and recharge it once again. All those tips of pressing the volume up and/or down button along with the power/home button and the reset pinhole... none of them worked in my case. I know its a corrupted OS issue and I can solve it. Only if I could somehow get the tablet to boot once or get into recovery or download mode. I know it for a fact that the power button i fine because... again... I stand witness to the fact that the tablet has not experienced any physical shock what-so-ever since the day it was bought. Also not to forget it works once when the tab is in 100% charge.
I can see two scenarios by which the problem might have started:
1. I downloaded FL Studio Mobile apk and its dlc from pirate bay. I copied the apk to the internal SD card (straight on the sd card not inside any folder), and the dlc was instructed to be copied to sdcard/Android/obb. The uploader had said that if the obb folder was not there, I had to create it and so I did and copied. Halfway through the dlc copy, my laptop hanged. So I terminated the process from taskmgr and disconnected my tab from the "disconnect from USB storage" page on the tablet.
2. Next I opened Android Tweaker (Pro?) to tweak a few parameters so that FL Studio Mobile could run a bit lag free. I'm not a power user so, I just used the auto-tweak feature for the performance settings. Next I rebooted via the app and lo! The tablet is now stuck in an eternal boot cycle loop.
I'm an electronic musician and like to have these apps on my devices so that I can make music on the go.
Also one thing I should mention is that while rooting the /bin/su file could not be executed, however installing Titanium Backup Pro (Root) had solved that problem as there was an option in that app to fix it.
Sorry for the long post :cyclops: but I think my problem is somewhat peculiar if not unique. No body else's solution is working and I think there are not many Indians who use the V1 tablet.
Solved
Thank you everyone for not replying to this post. You may have thought that the solutions existed in someone else's answers. But NO. None of anyone else's solutions worked.
I thought this was a place full of experts, but I guess you people are way too busy with your own stuff to really help others which is the purpose of this forum.
Anyways, I solved the problem. The tablet works fine, in fact it works even faster. And just to rub it in HCL's face, I've upgraded the internal memory and RAM. Yes I resoldered the PCB. Removed all the bloatware and useless stuff from our dear beloved Indian manufacturer.
But I'm not going to share how I solved this issue. None of you took the time to reply, so non of u will get this piece of knowledge upgrade. Funk you very much :victory:

Hey bro,
I am newbie with this HCL V1 tablet and it sucks a lot to use this. I got it sent to HCL store for repairing (to flash) just after 3 days I ordered it.
As you are the user of this tab you should be very well known to the problems this tab comes with. Even its not playing the Subway Surfer game smoothly, wt the hell with 1 GB RAM.
So please suggest me the twiks for this tab as like working rooting, global or transparent proxy (needs in college campus because in college wifi works only with default browser with no download at all (only in androids, downloads in symbian, iOS) probably because download runs with external app by default in androids as it shows differently in notification bar about the download progress).
Please help me to resolve these problems.
Thank you.

You are proving to the world how racist Indians are to each other nothing else. And I'm not a Bori wherever the **** they are from. Its Borah you "madarchod ki aulad hindustani" Of course now you will report this to the admin and I will get banned from this site. Or you're gonna throw your cheap sounding Indian abuses at me, or you will try to act like a smartass and type a nice sophisticated sounding comeback to make people sympathize with you. What else can your beta-male-Indian-ass do? Either way, you are insignificant to me and whatever you say is invalid in my world. And thank you for quoting me because finally I got a notification from this website.
For the rest of the people-
This thread is almost one year old now if you know how to read the English calendar. The FB account that was linked to this has been deleted almost a year ago. I don't exactly remember the solution but I cracked open the tablet, took out the ROM, took it to a friend who burns ROMs.
This tablet was meant for my dad which is why it pissed me off no end that it should malfunction. Eventually I threw this piece of **** in the trash and got him a Samsung tab that works the way it is meant to work.
My advice - save some money and buy a higher end android tab and your life will be much more peaceful. Unlike iOS where the hardware platform is pretty much standard, the wide variety of configurations on which android is installed is the main culprit here. You want smooth performance, less lag, and bug free performance, and easily available non-factory support? Honestly start saving money and get a better brand tab. No where else in the world do people push these cheap ass tablets so hard other than the third world.
I understand you all want the best bang for your buck but understand what "best" is first.
Now, you'll can crucify me in your replies if you want. I don't give two ****s about it. Peace out homos!
Calm Down Bro ...
thande thande raho bhai jaan ...
pls help

[Q] SKRT LiquidSmooth v3.0 ROM - Samsung Galaxy SII HD LTE L \ S \ K version

hello guys,
I've read around that a knew ROM has been developed for our devices but if anyone can get a download link it would help a lot cause the site is in Chinese and i think i have to be registered there to see the links.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7354297-1-1.html
waiting for your support
thanks
help
hello is anyone there??
So register on the site yourself & use one of the many translation tools that are readily available for everyone to use these days. A native Chinese speaker reading your thread & doing what you're asking (which you're easily able to do yourself with a bit of initiative/work) may never happen. It hasn't happened in 3 days, I'll lay London to a brick it won't happen if you're still here bumping this thread in a month.
I know what I'd be doing if I were you (but you won't you'll sit here forever bumping this thread waiting for something that will never happen to happen).

if i'm asking for help it means that i need it. i used the translation tool in the site but the translated text is a bit confusing. i would write directly to the post i saw the ROM in xda but i don't have enough credits to write there so that's why i'm asking here and your irony wasn't so helpful.
anyhow thanks for spending your time answering me.

Possible i527 lollipop site

Is anyone feeling adventurous enough to test this out? I'm interested in having lollipop, but I'm always skeptical of a site I've never seen before.
http://www.lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/samsung-galaxy-mega-6-3-sgh-i527-lollipop-rom
I am not sure about that site either. I looked at http://www.lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/oppo-a31-custom-rom, because i got a OPPO A31 from my friend who came back from china, i am try to figure out how to install google play store. but after installation, and try to run google play store. it will crash all the time, as original rom don't support google play. since it is a model is for mainland china only, therefore there is not international roms either. I am still trying to figure out how to make google play store to work.
In the steps it keep mention to download apps from google play store, which is impossible with original rom. also OPPO use Color OS, which is not mentioned at all. so i doubt the site is legit. I mean the steps don't seems legit at all, because if it is legit it should tell you how to make google play store work first.
also on the top of page it mention inspire by xda-developers.com, but I can't find a single post about OPPO A31 here at all.
Thank you. I'm with you. There seems to be no supporting documentation as evidence that this method works. As far as I know we're still stuck with KitKat and Xposed as our only options, right?
Thanks for replying so long ago, and I apologize for my late reply. I happened across it while googling to see if we had a lollipop option yet.
If you're trying to get the playstore to work you may need a gapps (Google apps) package to install. I know very little on the topic at this time. I quit tinkering with my phones a year or so ago due to business needs, but now I'm getting antsy again. Gapps should be what you need for the playstore apk to work, but I'm not sure what version you would need or if that's the actual issue you're facing.
others are happy

I have tried installing gapps on my Oppo A31 and Google Play crashes constantly. Have any of you managed to install a different ROM on this phone? Maybe something based on ParanoidAndroid, as they seem to support many other Oppo devices.
Any help will be appreciated,

Please help me get this thing upgraded

Howdy,
So, I have a Toshiba AT200 tablet that uses android 4.0.3 and I'm disabled currently jumping through all the hoops for SSI. In the meantime I been using the usertesting app to make enough money to cover my rent & internet barely. Trouble is, they just discontinued support for android versions older than 5.0 so I need to upgrade it to android 5 or 6. Since I have no real clue how to do much of anything on android other than install and run stuff from the play store, I called Toshiba for help and was told that they don't offer a manufacturer update to higher android versions but that I could easily google an unofficial one that is completely legal.
Well, after the last 5 hours of trying, 3 system crashes, 21 removals of trojans by windows defender and malwarebytes, and I-have-no-idea how many 'surveys' & 'offers' completions trying to unlock downloads; I STILL don't have a working upgrade.
PLEASE help me! I need this done to continue earning enough money to pay my rent & internet.
Thanks,
Robert
that's a copy that I posted two weeks ago in the assist forums and never got a response till today telling me to put it here. I've done more searching since first posting, but still haven't found anything working (and ended up with some gomail.ru hijacker thing which I've tried repeatedly to remove but can't seem to fully get rid of it) so please help ASAP! two weeks is way too long to not make any income... I'm prolly gonna be late for internet this month.
Thanks,
Robert
Why won't anyone help me? Is it unclear what device it is? AT200 is what it lists in the 'about' section in the tablet settings menu, but what it shows up as when I put the serial number into the Toshiba website is Excite AT205-T16I
I still need help with this thing PLEASE! am I still asking in the wrong place?
As I know, the upgrade of androi up to your device. If It announce to upgrade, it means that you can do it. If not, you can't
What? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you tried to say. The Toshiba rep told me to google 'toshiba at200 custom rom lollipop' though I really don't know what that means... and I've tried multiple times but always end up with either a bunch of malware to get rid of or one of those 'complete survey or offer to unlock download' things which never work. I found a site with pretty understandable instructions on how to complete the upgrade and got some kinda rooting tool, but it doesn't help me without having this 'apk rom' that it talks about and doesn't give any links on the instruction page.
Regrettably, there aren't any options to update your device. There are 2 ways to upgrade, either via updates put out by the manufacturer, or via a custom version of android (referred to as a "rom") that is compiled from a source code such as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or CyanogenMod (CM). For devices that didn't sell well or weren't of significant interest to the developer community, custom updates aren't usually an option as it takes a considerable amount of time and skill to update a device beyond what the manufacturer puts out due to differences in the system as well as drivers on newer versions of android.

The Smoug of the S7 930v (?) afterthoughts...

Preface:
Ive spent about a week of full-time work into my S7 930v. I FINALLY rooted the damn thing and I FINALLY, after reading tons of tutorials, read on one of them (right here, in fact) the Doomed Verizon Locking Problem.
Ok, so Im not going to be able to install any android ROMs. I followed the tutorials and I have removed/froze bloatware and installed cleanup apps as per the tutorials (Greenify, Amplify, Titanium Backup, etc.)
I froze damn near everything and my phone still works, so good so far. But it still runs slower and from a security standpoint, I still dont really trust it.
Sorry, I know Im beating a dead horse here.
Down to Business:
I gave up trying to face the impossible. But today, with renewed vigor, I have questions. In an effort not to waste my time, I thought that one of you has probably already tried my next steps or heard of someone who has.
1. Is it also not possible to install linux (Ubuntu?) on my 930v?
2. I heard somewhere that you can call Verizon and have them unlock your phone. I have done so. They gave me the run-around. Switched me to Samsung who told me to call Verizon. Now Im not new to this. Im angry and Ive got too much time on my hands. Im not afraid to call over and over until I get answers. But I thought I would ask you all first.
There seems to be two different versions of what they understand as "unlocked". There is provider unlocked and there is OS/ROM unlocked. So, if I keep harassing them, are they going to ROM unlock my phone? I found this on their website:
verizon..../about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy/
Is my phone really a piece of trash now?? Say it aint so!
[EDIT] I just called Verizon again and explained very thoroughly, that Verizon locks software with a private key and that I wish to reinstall Android as a base without their software.
Tech support tells me that they are not given that information from Corporate.
