I don't see any option for phone in device manager to copy MTK driver.
I made sure that phone was switched off with battery pulled and connected to PC through data cable. Please let me know on what do I need to do?
Works Great. Thanks!
This worked perfectly and serves the need for now. Had to flash stock kitkat though before doing this as i was on fota kitkat. Thanks a lot!

You need to install all the necessary drivers in your computer to help detect your phone in SP flash tools.
Could you please provide the rooting procedure and EBR files for FOTA kitkat update?
I'm not able to root my 4GB Canvas 2 Colors using Framaroot because of the FOTA KitKat update. Also i need the EBR files for the repatition of my storage.
Please help.
Does Rooting require for this?
I would like to know if the phone needs to be rooted for this.
I would like to go with this based on you friends confirmation.
If rooting is required, then can I un-root after increasing the app storage space so that the phone gets secured exactly same as earlier?
Thanks all.

Yes because you will be doing it via sp flash tools and there is no rooting involved there
As there is no rooting involved here, the phone is secured same as earlier aka stock irrespective the size of storages are changed, Am i correct in that understanding. I am worried of alterations, but as the space is very low I need to do this for the good use of phone. I am a normal user of phone, not in development. So I would be so happy to get hep from you all and understand if there is any side effects of loosing the peace of mind, Will the phone be secured as earlier before it was done?

Please include a guide to return to stock.
In order to claim warranty, one needs to return to stock ROM / recovery.
This is my first non-samsung device, so I am not familiar with how to do this for this device.
Please include a guide on how to get the phone back to 'everything-stock' in case phone has to be returned for repair during warranty period.
Thank You !

How to Set / Unset Contacts as favourites ?
Hi,
I recently bought the A120.
I am unable to find a way to mark (or unmark) contacts as favourites ?
My GO contact widget identifies my favourite contacts (set from my earlier phone), but there is no marking or selection for favourite contacts in the contacts list ?
So is there a way to set a contact as 'favourite' ?

Is a very common function and very useful.
All the phones I've used so far have this feature .
Surprised that this one doesn't (or is well hidden).
Is there a 3rd party app for contacts that provides this feature?
Does the custom ROM mentioned have this?

Can we swap phone storage with internal or external SD card?
Phone storage is just 0.99 Gb.
This gets filled up pretty fast as you install apps. Even though app data is installed in external sd card, it seems the app itself occupies some space in phone storage.
Can we swap phone storage with the internal sdcard (1.6 Gb) or extremal sd card (up to 32 Gb) ?
This will allow the installation of even more apps?
I believe apps like 'Root internal 2 external' could do this but I would like some some advise from the experienced users in this thread?
Thanks!

Yes, I too have installed large games like Modern Combat 4, Injustice, Amazing Spiderman etc without issues,
Although huge chunk of the app gets installed in the external SD card, each app still takes a peice of the 0.99 GB phone storage.
Soon this fills and there is a 'storage' warning error, though there are GBs free in the internal & external SD card.
This is what I'm refering too.
And now your reply has confused me.
You can select 'Default write disk' as external SD card... so what is the need for Link2SD app ?
I installed all the above games without any such app ?
Thanks
Edit : I see that after rooting you can move more apps to SD card that we could not earlier.

Its now all over the development section where people are trying custom ROM and getting stuck at infinite bootanimation loop.
This, as explained by famous developer dhacker29, the f2fs file system is very sensitive and gets easily corrupted. This results in stuck at bootanimation.
Presenting the solution – One time, shut it all and noob friendly
Common steps
1) From your working ROM, copy all your sd card data somewhere safe (PC, pendrive etc)
2) Backup all your apps (you can use titanium back up or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581653)
3) Download stock firmware for all those “what if it goes wrong” issues.
4) Install drivers for Motorola devices
5) Download your favourite ROM
6) Install minimum adb and fastboot
7) Install TWRP (official support is now available)
The geek method
8) Format /system, /data and /data/media (I strictly mean format as simple wipes won’t do)
9) Now sideload your rom file
a. Advance in TWRP
b. ADB sideload and swipe to start
c. Connect to computer where you have installed drivers and adb
d. Start cmd and type adb devices – it should show your device
e. Now side load by typing adb sideload drive letter:\where\your\rom\rom.zip
10) Reboot to recovery
11) Now install ROM as normal
12) Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot
Non Geek method
8) Install stock firmware for your respective device using fastboot (there are tutorials that have the batch file which installs the firmware automatically by simply clicking the batch file)
9) Install TWRP recovery
10 ) copy ROM zip file and flash
Everyone is now requested to use the guide, help me improve it ans stop flooding dev section with same question over and over again.
Alternate Method : Noob Friendly.
First of all backup your sd card (i.e data/media)
Flash Philz Touch 6.26.6 Recovery
Hope you have OTG cable and a pendrive.
Copy the rom which you want to install on pendrive. Attach pendrive through OTG.
(backup your current rom on usbdisk. For this goto Backup and Storage. Find option backup on storage/usbdisk :good: )
Now, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It will ask Wipe to install new rom,tap on it. Say Yes.
After that goto Mounts and Storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Say Yes.
Done.
Now flash your favorite custom rom.
Select the option install from sdcard. Then select usbdisk. Select your custom rom and install it

Quickest way I think is to take a USB Drive and attach it through an OTG-Cable, then use ES File Explorer to copy all things to it..
Connecting to a PC through USB takes more time due to some limitations there...
UST OTG works good.. :good:
You can use WiFi Direct maybe..

I thought to make a thread about the problem but didn't had enough time in those days..
I thought someone will eventually report the problem..
I think flashing the RetailGB firmware helped because it formatted the internal memory...

what version of TWRP are you using? only the official version or the teamex version has OTG support
Good Day Sir. I'm wondering if you can port Xolo 8x 1000 with hive ui Rom to my Cherry Mobile Excalibur. Both device share the same physical features, the only difference is that xolo has 2gb ram 16 gb rom while cherry has only 1gb ram 8gb rom. Thanks in advance and more power.
I'm on Hive now.
Finally I found a way to flash Xolo-1000 to our Cherry Mobile Excalibur....
Need help
How did you flash hive? i also have cherry mobile excalibur.
Successfully Port XOLO-8x-1000 ROM to CM x150/EXCALIBUR
Good-day sir I soft brick my CM Excalibur because I messed up on the system.
I know I know you'll never gonna read all of this
So I decided to find an stock ROM for this CM x150 or known as Excalibur/XOLO-8x-1000 but yet I find nothing. Then I decided to take the risk. They say the CM Excalibur is a clone of XOLO-8x-1000 so I downloaded the ROM (link below):
Note: If your doing this you must take responsibility if anything might happen. But If you follow the step you have the higher chance of success. Backup first before anything!!!:good:
STEP - 1:
Link of the XOLO-8x-1000 ROM Media Fire
And the flashing tool:
SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1352.01 - Flashing tool
Note: Instead of using the in-zip flashing tools (in the Directory of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Flash Tool , the Sp splash tool will be used.
While you are downloading open this guide in a new tab:
STEP - 2:
Follow carefully Guide HERE :fingers-crossed:
Also:
MT6592_Android_scatter.txt is in the DIR of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Firmware"
Follow every steps using that guide.
After all downloads are done.
STEP - 3:
Extract both Zip Files to the Desktop or Anywhere else that you can easily access it. But I recommend Desktop Okay Okay it's up to you.
After extraction.
STEP - 4:
open the folder named SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01 their you can find the executable file named flash_tool.exe or just flash_tool run it as administrator so that it will gain a higher permission.
I assume that the flash_tool has been executed already.
STEP - 5:
Now -
READ ALL FIRST: Follow follow the link in Step - 2. The Image in the link I have provided might be different from the image above it's because they are using the older version than the image above. But no worry it functions the same, just the UI is different.
Now back to business. On the
click it and choose Firmware Upgrade.
The END.

Good Day Sir. I'm wondering if you can port Xolo 8x 1000 with hive ui Rom to my Cherry Mobile Excalibur. Both device share the same physical features, the only difference is that xolo has 2gb ram 16 gb rom while cherry has only 1gb ram 8gb rom. Thanks in advance and more power.

Hi Joel1977!
I also own a CM Xcalibur and recently, i clean installed a stock ROM of Xolo's 8x-1000 with HIVE UI and it worked fine. The one thing I noticed is though is the internal memory after flashing 8x-1000's rom into Xcali, the user available phone memory was reduced from 6.7GB to 2.2GB. Maybe its because the ROM is to huge a file that it occupies a much larger space in your phone memory, but that's not a problem coz you can install a microSD card to expand the storage space.
I've been using it for about 3 days now and I don't see any problems at all. Another good thing here is that whenever you connect to the internet, you always receive updates from HIVE team. Since I installed HIVE on my Xcali I've already received 3 updates which improved a lot of things in my phone like the camera, 3G connection, touch sensitivity, battery life and a lot more. Here are some screen shoots...:laugh:
...and here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-xolo-8x-1000-infinix-zero-clones-t2979668 in case you wanna try flashing HIVE into your phone, GOOD LUCK
Yup Good News to CM Exclibur Owners
I already flash Xolo 8x-1000 to my Excalibur successfully.HIVE rocks! Antutu result is 28k and I think it's much higher than my former Excalibur with only 26k.Though internal memory is reduced but it's still ok with me 'cause I got 16gb external that can be max capacity to 32gb just be sure it's class 10 for a much faster data transfer.Xolo always provides updates and waiting for a Lollipop that Xolo confirmed to arrive to Hive Users.:good:

Good-day sir I soft brick my CM Excalibur because I messed up on the system.
I know I know you'll never gonna read all of this
So I decided to find an stock ROM for this CM x150 or known as Excalibur/XOLO-8x-1000 but yet I find nothing. Then I decided to take the risk. They say the CM Excalibur is a clone of XOLO-8x-1000 so I downloaded the ROM (link below):
Note: If your doing this you must take responsibility if anything might happen. But If you follow the step you have the higher chance of success. Backup first before anything!!!:good:
STEP - 1:
Link of the XOLO-8x-1000 ROM Media Fire
And the flashing tool:
SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1352.01 - Flashing tool
Note: Instead of using the in-zip flashing tools (in the Directory of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Flash Tool , the Sp splash tool will be used.
While you are downloading open this guide in a new tab:
STEP - 2:
Follow carefully Guide HERE :fingers-crossed:
Also:
MT6592_Android_scatter.txt is in the DIR of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Firmware"
Follow every steps using that guide.
After all downloads are done.
STEP - 3:
Extract both Zip Files to the Desktop or Anywhere else that you can easily access it. But I recommend Desktop Okay Okay it's up to you.
After extraction.
STEP - 4:
open the folder named SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01 their you can find the executable file named flash_tool.exe or just flash_tool run it as administrator so that it will gain a higher permission.
I assume that the flash_tool has been executed already.
STEP - 5:
Now -
READ ALL FIRST: Follow follow the link in Step - 2. The Image in the link I have provided might be different from the image above it's because they are using the older version than the image above. But no worry it functions the same, just the UI is different.
Now back to business. On the
click it and choose Firmware Upgrade.
The END.
Enjoy your Cherry XOLO-8x-1000-x150 hahaha

I have inserted a 32 GB class 10 microSD Card in my Xiaomi Redmi Note. Usually it works fine but many a times it stops suddenly and all my files disappears until I restart my phone. Please help me with it.. I have already replaced my sdcard with a new 32 GB class 10 microSD card however it still poses the same issue.
have you try to root your redmi note? maybe the reason is CPU isnt compatible with some Apps,
I was facing the same problem. I have fixed this by formatting the sd card. Good luck :fingers-crossed:
SD card - phone wont read or write to it
Hi,
I have a Redmi Hongmi Note 4g LTE with Miu 66.44.22.00 and Android 4.4.4, kernel 3.4.0. Ive inserted a 32Gb micro sd card but every time i try to move files to it i get a message saying "currently Android 4.4 does not allow 3rd party applications to make modifications to external SD Cards (such as creating files, pasting, renaming files etc)" so how can i make use of my sd card please?
Search the playstore and install an app called "sd fix: Kit Kat writable micro sd". Try to execute it and go to security center to give the app root privileges. After that run the app again and follow instructions.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere...
Great! Thanks I'll try that now.
---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------
Found and installed sd fix but cannot find how to give app root privileges. Went to security settings turned off permission manager but i get a message saying that the app cannot get root access. I cant find any other settings that might help.
Check Security - Permissions - Root access. If u can't find anything than I guess your phone is not rooted.
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere...
Yes, that's the dilemma. I've never rooted a phone before and I like my redmi note so much I really don't want to trash it! But.... I could really do with being able to move apps to SD card. Thanks for your help.
If you want to stay on Miui , just download Miui developer edition rom from mi.com , this is prerooted .
My advice , use fiui instead , the rom itself occupies a lot less space and leaves you with more free space on internal sd .. KitKat is the cause of the external sd card problems .. The only effective fix is a lollipop update .. Xiaomi is holding back on that!!!
Thanks very much Obanna. I'll take a look at fiui - it would certainly simplify matters! ?

In security app--->permission you should have "root permission". Enable it to give root privileges,, Anyway I was wondering about your MIUI version coz AFAIK There's no such version number. Possibilities are that either you are given a custom reseller rom or....Your device might be a fake. Anyway try downloading Root Checker in Playstore and see whether your device is already rooted and report back
That's what I wondered. I haven't seen that. Rom number anywhere!
I installed root checker and no access to root. Shall I install a genuine Rom and go from there. And just a question with regard to which Rom, how do you know it's English and not Chinese?
I really appreciate your help - thank you.
same problem
i have a same problem
in cant open picture or video in my gallery
my music player didnt work
i already try to format the sd card once,it works for a while but its back again after a couple of weeks
what should i do?
i never root my phone before and didnt wanna take a risk to root it
im using HongmiNOTE LTE
MIUI 6.7.1.0[KHICNCH]stable
Hi my name is Yash i am using a redmi note 4 , i found a way that could potentially be the solution to this menace. ●● NO ROOT REQUIRED ●●
Go to the music app , go to advanced settings ( within the three dots on the top right corner ) , now here you must disable all the filters applied to the audio files , then select " by folder " (bottom of the page) , then choose the files which have the music ( this may be dicey if there are multiple files with songs , but thats the solution )
Hello
I'm new to android, and basically new to this techie stuff. anyway, my cousin had installed cynogenmod 12.1 on my lenovo A6000, may be its for lenovo K-30T model. coz its showing model number "lenovo K-30T" in "about phone".
And despite the RAM being free for about 300MB, the phone lags.
I want a ROM which is faster. I have come across this OS http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/development/best-cm12-1-rom-lenovo-a6000-plus-withe-t3288805 . Please tell me if it's better and stable than the current one .
*screenshots
It's obviously cyanogen 12.1, so can I flash some files so that it may become the os I want on my phone? or I have to re do the flashing process? DO I have to roll back to kitkat in order to flash this OS?
If there is any other os, which has all in one good package, Pls suggest.
* fast OS
* I dont play games
* good battery backup
*good UI

Well if you want a good smooth UI with good battery backup. Try this MIUI ROM.
The UI with CM11 is not that great. But, in performance and battery, its definitely the best ROM for a6000. Here's the link for CM 11. You can surely try these customizations for CM11.
You can flash MIUI directly over your ROM after wiping system, data, dalvik, cache. But for CM11 you'll first have to flash stock KK, and then have to flash CM11, and ofcourse after a complete wipe.
:silly:

Thanks a lot mate..
and in the CM11's link, in "AMPERE" screenshot, Its again showing "lenovo K30T" as model number. Now Im concerned about that here. I have same model number in my device information . For some reason, I think My cyanogen 12.1 is made for that particular reason and not for Lenovo A6000. Does it make any difference in terms of performance of the device?
PS. how do we post pictures in this forum? Im new to this whole thing Thanks in advance

Since Lenovo K-30 has same board as our a6000, so any rom working on K-30 would work on our devices too (yeah with a bit modifications). So, there's no problem in using ROMs showing device as K-30.
And, answer to the second question, you click on the 'paper clip' icon for attachments.
P.S. I too a hard time in the beginning to figure that out.:silly:

Bro, These are the screenshots of the memory status of my memory on board. Earlier before I had upgraded to lollipop update from lenovo, I had complete 8 GB as internal memory. but as soon as I had updated to that update, the size reduced, and then due to heavy lagging, I chose to root it and put 12.1 in it., then also after number of wipes and erases, still it's stuck at 4.69GB. I don't understand why complete 8GB is not being utilized.
Is there any way to unlock full potential? or did I do any wrong while flashing?
Thanks in advance

You did nothing wrong. What happened is that the data you had in your internal memory has been moved to some other folder and not actually wiped. This had happened to me a few times.
And, I actually has now forgotten what was its path. But, it was among these two for sure.
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/
OR
/data/media/0/
First copy contents of your internal memory on your sd card or pc. Then delete the contents of the above two directories, you'll get your internal memory freed. Then, you can copy back the contents.
And yeah, es file explorer is suggested for this job. Other root explorers will work too.

You have to make backup of files in "/0/" only and not of whole root directory

Okay, I have taken backup of /0/ .
and I tried going into the path you have said. But in my phone, the path only lasted like this.
"/mnt/shell"/(empty). no emulated folder
and same with the data folder in the root folder. there is no file or folder inside data folder.
Shall i delete these two folders? SHell and Data? just like that?

Use es file explorer for that. And first from its options, mount the partitions from Root explorer menu. Check all the partitions. Then you will be able to see the contents of /data/ and /shell/emulated/
