There are a lot of people joining XDA on a daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked
which clutter up the Development and 'Q & A' threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions.

The idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. People are usually
ridiculed for asking questions that other people deem stupid even though it may be a legitimate question. This
leads to new users being afraid to ask questions!

Only provide well mannered help towards users in this thread. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in
the direction where that user can find an answer
and educate himself. If you don't want to answer, at least
point out where to find the answer.



Before posting anything, I strongly advise you to read THIS thread.

Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in Post No. 2, you might find what you need right away.

Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please do come back and read threads in Post No. 2
(coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time
and frustration it will save you in the future!



No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! That means:
NO TROLLING
NO NAME CALLING
NO RIDICULING
NO FLAMING


ASK ANY QUESTION HERE! No question is stupid or irrelevant in this thread. You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

MTK? Those devices are strange, I don't get how they can be flashed over locked bootloader.

Although, I have been looking at customizing my niece's Nook tablet, it has locked bootloader but you can boot CWM/TWRP from extsd then flash a CWM/TWRP to internal emmc then flash ROMs, its not what I'm used to. Its basically a boot strap or can be a second bootloader like on my kindle fire HD 7, it boots then loads the second bootloader and that bootloader boots the ROM or recovery(like Safestrap where it interrupts boot and inserts other software and boots that, your original is still there but doesn't get a chance to boot) which isn't the same as an actual flash.

A little information on your phone model, the kernel you flashed, and your current ROM would be something you may want to include if you want help.
Hard to help with knowing nothing about what you are working with.
Wifi always works for me with M8 and custom kernels with ViperOneM8 ROM

If flashing the kernel created the issue then post your issue where you got the kernel, if its caused by the kernel then maybe the developer of the kernel or other members that have used the kernel can help.

LG G44 petition..

question is this. we the LG G4 community have locked bootloader, someone made a petition for Lg to release the unlock. bin to all variants.. only europe phones ca be unlocked.. so thres a goal of 5000 signings. we are near 3000.
so if we ask the xda community to help us reach. our goal. where can i post link to petition.? we already have it in G4 section but, i was wondering i we could put in general section so the rest of members could sing petition. can it be done and if yes, on wich section would be the ideal with most users can see it...

Can only moderators and admins use gif and other animations in signatures :what:
I've seen non moderators (RC/RTs) using gifs on their signature but it says I don't have the permission to do so....

I have tried also but it got so convoluted that I decided to take a break and eventually get back to it.

I don't know, I never took the time to search or ask a Moderator why the difference, I didn't care enough to dig that deep because using gif or not didn't matter that much to me.

I'm sure the guys using them would know.

LG tribute soft brick?

After wiping my rom with twrp and failing for hours to get the custom rom I previously had on the phone to boot again, I decided to try re-installing twrp. Unfortunately I flashed the wrong disk image for the recovery. I now have the option of the standard LG boot screen, or the "factory reset processing" screen when I try to launch the recovery menu. How would one go about resetting a recovery?

Flash the correct recovery maybe.
