Hello, i'm asking for help because right now i'm facing a nasty problem.
The problem is following: I got my Tab for chistmas, i rooted it with KingRoot and debloated it, all fine, all good.
Then 2 days ago my tablet showed me the mean "Storage space is running out" icon, so i looked into the App management and it says that i'm having left 2.03GB from 16GB, then i backed up my data and did something quite stupid.. Yes, reset to factoy defaults, so now i'm only having a few things like Playstore, Music, Browser and the other basic things, but i still have the Memory but, even after resetting the Tab 3 times!
With ADB i also cant install any APP because i'm only getting a "Protocol Failure!"
Does any of you have a suggestion? I thougt of installing the Stock rom over recovery, but its Impossible to find, on the Lenovo Website i only found the Opensource download, which looks like some drivers, is that maybe the Stock rom? i'll add Screenshots of the Contents.

Everything was working fine this morning on my JB vibrant. I then read an article about the Fenneck browser release as an alpha. I downloaded the browser and found that it still had several problems so I deleted it. After deleting I noticed that my wifi was not on so I turned it on and got the message "unable to scan networks" and "unable to save the network" I have done some research and it looks like I'm going to have to reflash the phone. If anyone knows of something I can try I'd appreciate the info before I have to spend the weekend researching and trying stuff till I get it right again. I just got the phone setup the way I wanted it including the native tethering flash. I'm not sure what steps I need to take from here if I do need to start from scratch. Do I need to un JB the phone, flash it then reload all the "approved programs then all the unapproved programs? Just not sure what I need or how to get it back to how it was this morning. I've looked around but have not found a step by step list as to how to get where I want to be. Any help would be appreciated. I do have apps like appbrain, astro, ROM manager, appmonster etc.
Thanks,
Gerry
Did you make a nandroid backup when you installed ROM Manager?
If you did, you can go back to that and add the missing apps as needed.
Otherwise, besides flashing firmware try factory reset.
I had this EXACT same problem... I ended up having to flash stock back and everything was fine. I dont think anyone has a solution to this here.. And if they do they ignored/didnt see my thread about it
Completely forgot I had done a nandroid backup...getting old is rough on the memory with so many gadgets. Anyways...did a restore and the wifi came back. Had to update about 10 programs though. Small price to pay.
Guys I really need your help..
I have factory reset my device about an hour ago, just because I've upgraded it to 4.4.2 the other day and wanted a clean install.
everything is fine except an issue which at first seems app related but I really think it's the OS:
I installed swiftkey keyboard, and when trying to download language packs it always says "download failed", well of course I thought there must be a problem with swiftkey's servers, then I downloaded beautiful widgets, tried to download theme packs, they just say "downloading" and never finish, then I downloaded Zedge, tried to download a wallpaper\ringtone - "download failed"..
Seems to be something related to permissions maybe?

i had similar issue. when i try download something on whatsapp or zedge always says download failed. I read some post about it and i guess the problem source is sdcard partition is crashed. I changed my ROM and the problem gone.
I also read about this, seems it has something to do with the way 4.4.2 manages the sd card partition, I tried the fix in the thread, but it didnt work, this is insane, I dont have an external card, so why does the phone think the sd card partition is an external card?? nothing works now!
Anyway, I reflashed the Russian 4.4.2, all is good now..
Hello!
Please help, this is driving me insane.I've had a galaxy S4 for almost a year now. I had it rooted and ****ed around with it a bit, it was all good. Then I was running low on space and got a disk checker or whatever it's called to show me how my space was being used. A lot of it was in caches. I downloaded a file manager and went on a cache deleting spree. One of the caches I deleted was google. Ever since that day everytime I start my phone:
Samsung Link has stopped
Dropbox has stopped
Google + has stopped
Google search has stopped
The phone in general just worked extremely ****ty.So I decided today that it was time for a factory reset. I run it, all good. The phone restarts in factory settings.. and I get the exact same error messages. ?So I decided that I would do the hard reset. Shut it off, volume up + home + power, wipe/delete all data. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHAT?How is that possible? I wipe my phone completely and end up with the same problems? How do I reinstall the OS? Since I'm going to be uninstalling the OS completely (probably the only solution to my problems), is there anyway to get a nice clean OS? And not the one full of bloatware from my carrier? I really just want to start over from a fresh OS.
I also tried just running a software update, but I got the error message 'this phone has been modified and cannot be updated'. I guess that's because it's rooted..
Thank you for your help
I got a message this morning about a system update on my YT3-X50F
(YT3-X50F_S000022_160606_ROW_TO_YT3-X50F_S000023_161201_ROW) -
Downloaded and the install failed.
I googled and it seems this is happening to others. however the "Resolution" was to download from some Russian site
(https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Androi...x50f-dec-2016-update-fail/td-p/3523775/page/3)
I'm not even clear on what the resolution steps are.
I'm asking here because I've used XDA as my go to forums for years (my third tablet). You guys are always helpful and able to explain stuff anyone can understand.
I had rooted my tablet, but went ahead and unrooted. I also pulled the "nuclear" option and factory reset. I was already on the verge of needing to do so anyhow since it was having a bunch of annoying freezing and rebooting issues. Its in the process of reinstalling all my apps now
Hello,
I have a Zenfone 3 Max I guess ( serie in the back X008D), which is lagging so much, I tried many factory resets but nothing improved.
While browsing settings I found that space used by the root is full, 7.98/7.98 Gb i think the problem is from this.
Is there any method how to reinstall the whole system, or rooting it if it can help solve this issue.
I searched in google and asus forum but I found nothing..
thanks in advance.

are you referring to what you see available in the "storage settings" page? My system reserved storage is 11.34/11.34gb and my phone doesn't lag. Click on "internal shared storage" and "clear cached data" if you are low on space there as well.
When did it start lagging? Backup all your apps with titanium backup and then uninstall them one by one and see which was causing the issue. Or just do a factory reset and then load your apps back one by one and see which causes it to lag.
Or is your phone lagging with just the base stock Rom and no other apps on it?
No issue
We have a the same exact phone model.
And i have no problem at all.
What u saw is normal
So i think that is not the problem.
the storage isn't the problem

Thanks, I have the same storage in your picture, we've confirmed that the storage isn't the problem, one step ahead.

I just bought the phone, it was used, I like the phone I'll try some fixes before returning it.
I cleared the cache and it's still lagging.
Yes it's lagging with the stock ROM I guess (all ASUS apps are installed in it), there is no other app but stock app installed in it, lagging isn't caused by my installed apps.
RAM always have 1.5 - 2 Gb free.
I guess it's a CPU is failing.
Thanks guys for the help.
If there is anything else I can do before returning the phone to the seller please advise me ? I kinda liked the phone and it was a good deal.
I think ASUS made some mistakes on their latest update : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=164682&extra=page=1&filter=&sid=1|8
Is there a way how to get back to an older version of Android 6 ?

you can "freeze" Asus' bloatware apps by following this guide and you don't need root to do it.

since your boot loader is locked, it's a little more difficult to downgrade. Try freezing the apps first. I believe you need to flash the recovery image from the firmware version you want to flash, then you can downgrade to the stock firmware. Its been a long time since in had a locked boot loader, lol
