Hi,I am ganesh and i using hp_10_1901 tablet(glider_3g_a) Balsa device when i used enter adb command adb reboot bootloader it just tablet turn off and it never turn it on. It never boot(ie.showing just black screen) so just helpme for the solution . If any one has firmware file for this tablet please post it ThankYou!

Not an issue if you have done only what you have mentioned. Keep holding the power on button for 30 seconds atleast. It should reboot. If it doesn't and is still stuck on the black screen then see if adb detects the device. If it does then type "adb reboot" or "adb reboot recovery". Hope this helps

Can someone tell me how to install a custom recovery using terminal emulator (My pc is damaged) for ny HTC DESIRE 310 DS

If you also have a link for custom recovery please include it in your reply

You can't install a custom recovery using terminal emulator. However you can use flashify app if you have a custom recovery available for your device.

Do you have a recovery downloaded for your device already? The exact model?

If you have root. Try flashify from 3rd party download (Google) and use it to flash recovery from link down below. I don't mean to be harsh but don't always expect answers to be fed to you as we had to research most of what we have done.

Dear i have asked a question after a deep and thorough reading and searching on XDA as well as some other sources but unfortunately i wasnt able to find any kind of help. there are posts and threads about different variants of galaxy j7 on XDA but no specific post or help for the model i am talking about.
the TWRP recovery you have suggested is not suitable for my device (maybe i am wrong). as it is specifically desinged for samsung Galaxy J7 Exynos SM-J700 (j7elte) i need recovery for Samsung Galaxy J7 sm-j7109 (j7xltectc) (Qualcom)
Now i don't mean to be harsh but i was really expecting some thoughtful and logical solution to the problem i am facing right now and i assume you might know what gona happen if i flash a totally wrong recovery.
anyways you can still ask me if you still think installing (j7elte) TWRP will help me, meanwhile i would again call for some real help.
thanks in advance

Hello xda community. I recently rooted my Honor 4x (unlocked bootloader, TWRP, flashed SuperSU over stock android 6 rom), I deleted some preinstalled google apps like books, music etc. Now i want to go back to stock, untouched, not rooted system. My problem is... i formated my sd card and lost my backup of untouched system that i made with TWRP. Is it possible to flash system.img (that i extracted from huawei android 6 update file UPDATE.APP) with bootloader ? Will it work ? By "work" I mean will it give me a nice, clean, untouched stock rom? (i know that i can flash stock recovery.img this way)

Hello!

I accidentally created a "General Discussion" Thread for my device in the "Miscellaneous Development" Forum: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/-t3514888

Could someone move it into the appropriate Forum? (I assume it should go here, because my device just has a ET)

Yes you can install recovery.img via Terminal emulator with dd command by renaming the recovery file name to "recovery.img" then placing the recovery.img in the root of sdcard then typing the correct dd command and the correct mmcblk0(partition).

For example, on my S3 I installed recovery via Terminal Emulator by typing this command:

su (then press enter)

Then typing:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

All devices can use this method but the /dev/block/mmcblk0 changes depending on the device being flashed. If the wrong mmcblk0 is used it bricks the device.

You can also use adb to dd a recovery.img except you type:

adb shell (press enter)

Then type:

su (press enter)

Then type the correct dd command for the device in question and press enter and it will flash.

Look it up and you'll find what I'm talking about, And just to let you know, when you use Flashify or a similar flashing app, what it is actually doing is automatically detecting which mmcblk0 to use then automatically executing the dd command without you having to type it.

It means either your bootloader is locked and you need to unlock it or it means your bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked.

Is the sdcard formatted with the correct file system for android to see it? Such as FAT32 or EXFAT for some devices.

Flashing system.img "should" work. Or you can open SuperSU settings and choose the remove root option then flash your stock recovery then just update the device as you would normally using the update.

Do a google search for:

"How to dd recovery via Terminal Emulator on (your model number)"

Rename your recovery file to "recovery.img" then place it in the root of your internal sdcard, then when you type your specific dd command you have to make sure you use "recovery.img"(to match the fact that you changed its name) in the command instead of its original name, also make sure you are sending it to the correct mmcblk0(recovery partition) for your specific model. The command must be EXACTLY correct because if you get any part of the command wrong it will brick your device.

Does anyone know of any apps besides Market Helper and Xposed Modules that can trick a device into thinking it's something else? Even though my tablet is rooted, it's not compatible with the Market Helper app. And I am unable to flash the Xposed Framework.zip through Flashify or through the default recovery method. Flashify doesn't work on this tablet and whenever I try to flash the Xposed Framework.zip through Recovery, I get a protected error.

Try a build.prop editor and change your Device info...also take a backup of your original .Prop

System.img contains your system files system.img.ext4 is used when it's being restored usually by a recovery.

If a search keeps telling you no then no. If you're not finding anything for unlocking it then it probably can't be done, otherwise you'd find at least something even if it isn't something specific.

A little more clarification on this.
MMCBLK is an old Linux way of refering to multi-media cards/storage(MMC) and that they are set up as blocks(BLK0 for internal) with multiple partitions. It's something that has stuck around now. Originally, the MMCBLK could only have 17 partitions from what I remember.
For instance, my recovery for HTC 10 is on mmcblk0(internal storage)p60(partition 60)

If your bootloader is locked, then you can unlock it. But some devices or all that are CDMA devices come carrier unlocked with some band frequencies locked and have heard certain CDMA devices can't be bootloader unlocked due to carriers. Please note that bootloader unlock and carrier unlock are 2 different things. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
