what rom are you using? if you are using any kitkat build you just have to flash custom recovery via sp flash tool or flash tool mod then you can flash supersu via recovery. just google if you dont know how to flash just search for flashing mediatek devices, mt6589

Problem

Hi I got a problem.

I have TCL Idol X
It don't want turn on. When I hold power button then nothing happend. Power button and volume + don't work too.
But when I connect phone to charger or computer then phone turn on and logo one touch idol and again black screen, and all time.
I can flash rom and I tried it with SP flash tool, but it didn't help. Maybe anyone have some idea?

Edit:
I flashed 4.4.2 from bryanjay420. Now after holding power button turn on and stuck in logo. After connect to charger is batter with %. I can't get in recovery.

So I had my phone sent out to a company (The place I got the phone at, who was run by the company I sent it to, Glentel) for repair, but sent it back unrepaired so I could send it to my phone provider for repair. I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, but the device likes to crash and reboot all the time on stock. Like, it's completely random, but it just completely crashes and reboots. It works fine after though, except for the last time this happened. These crashes happen very infrequently though.

This time is a bit different though. It crashed, then rebooted as per usual, but now it's crashing a whole ton more. Like, it will crash at any possible time. It can crash when the device is booting (When it shows Alcatel/Smart Move boot logo or the blue Android logo), when the lock screen first appears, or any time after, totally randomly, and it does this enough to the point that the device is almost completely unusable. Has anyone else had a crashing issue like this before? It's nothing I've ever seen. I've used everything in my arsenal to fix it, including factory resetting, using Mobile Upgrade S to restore, removing the Sim/MicroSD card, absolutely nothing fixes the crashing.

And these new crashes are unusual, too. They completely lock up the device, and if any sounds are playing, they'll be stuck on the particular tone that was playing at that exact moment, and if you let it sit for a minute, it just eventually shuts itself off on its own.

Hi, do you know any rom with polish language except rus01001 (1. This one locked one sim slot. 2. Receivers hear some regular pop during talk). Thanks

So, in having another device, as well as a CM11 device, I found that adjusting the volume and having the screen turn on became rather annoying, as well as a waste of power. On the stock rom, I found a way to disable it, and it will not bootloop you, either. I was looking for a build.prop way to change this, and the method that I did find (Adding ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=0 to build.prop) failed to work, until I found a slightly more permanent method:

1. Get a root browser and browse to /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl. Open it as a text file.
2. Find the "VOLUME_UP" and "VOLUME_DOWN" keys (They're near the top of the file), and remove "WAKE_DROPPED" from them.
3. Save (Make sure it's as a .kl file, not a .txt file, or else it will not work), and reboot. The volume keys will no longer wake the device when using them. You can now adjust the volume of your device without having the screen turn on!

Similarly, you can also map other keys to do whatever you want them to do, such as launching the camera, and whatnot. You can find more about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936

Also, word of advice: DO NOT remove "WAKE_DROPPED" from the Power button - it will render your device unable to turn on the screen unless you get a phone call.

Edit: Found the device Engineer Mode secret code: *#*#825364#*#*. Enter this code in the dialer and knock yourselves out.
Also, possible free unlock, I need to test: Enter the dialer code, ->Simme Lock -> Service provider personalization -> Unlock permanently.

What did you do , iam facing the same problem

So in the OP, apparently Gravitybox works, but I can't seem to get it to work, it just bootloops my phone. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?

I went to the GB JB page and talked with the developer about it, but he can't see anything wrong in my logs as to what's causing the error.

Are you using the latest version of Xposed? If so you need to go back to a previous version (2.3.1) if you want to use GB.
The newest Xposed versions are known to generate boot loop with some modules.

Oops apparently I wasn't thinking properly.

Anyways, I've installed it, and since it doesn't have a boot-time disabler, I'm working on backing up my rom in case any of the modules don't work properly for me.

You should also be able to disable it by flashing Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip from any custom recovery.
Never had to use it so I cannot speak by experience, but it might be wort a try it in case of need before going to full restore of the rom.

In case you get into a boot loop:
First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).

Well, considering I have Carliv touch recovery, as well as the Aroma file manager, as long as I have this information I can fix any Xposed bootloop without even having to flash a zip file. Thanks!
