Stock recovery.img for Symphony V32 5.1.1 HW2_V17xxx

The other day I was flashing a twrp on my symphony v32 while it got stuck in bootloop. I also happen to be unable to access the recovery option as when I click on it, it stops there for a couple of seconds and restarts into bootloop..
Apparently I don't happen to have the stock rom and as such the recovery.img...and I know it's available on the net, I unfortunately don't happen to have that much of bandwidth atm to download nor do I have space to store the firmware.zip....Hope that anyone would be kind enough to download and extract the recovery.img. I could use fastboot to flash the recovery.img into my phone c:

I suggest you post the URL to the firmware ZIP, so that someone who has the bandwidth maybe able to download, extract the required IMG file, and upload it somewhere like Drive.

White circle icon

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you’re saying. The problem is that the phone is my grandads and no one in our family has an Android. We’re all iPhone users so figuring out these things calls for google or forums!
yeah no worries......it should be accessible in your phone settings by going to settings>notifications>and just look for the symbol in the list. if it is not there then you should be able to pull down the notification bar on the home screen and see what the icon is.

Root Kyocera Hydro Reach Has Been Rooted But Still Need Some Help

I have tried the cm launcher but there are other things inside that launcher and there are ads also. And I just want to change the app icons now in the drawer and am still trying to figure out how. Plus the icons I did find that I liked didn't have the full set of icons I needed even for basic apps. Which sucked so I remove the icon set. Wish they had the full set of icons but nope. So now I will still need to find the full set of icons and then still figure out how to change the drawer icons.

X-plore : Where is the mount point for an SMB share in the local file system?

I need to use an SMB share from my NAS mounted to my Android Pie (MIUI 10.3) and access the file share from a bash script. I thought it would be a good idea to use the X-plore file explorer for the mounting and then use the mounted SMB file share from Termux. I can mount the file share in X-plore, but I don't find the mount point in the file system. Anyone knows where X-plore mounts the shares?
I do not even see where X-plore installs and stores user data.

Would you look at this? [storage issue]

I appologize for being to lazy to look it up, but does your phone provide for an external SD card?

It would be great for you, even though you don't seem to have a ton of personal stuff on your internal memory.

First, that is more than 1GB that can be moved out of the internal memory.

Second, it would allow for easy separation of your personal files.

Since you are on Android 6, I assume that you have a built in storage system setting that allows you to clear the system cache right from the phone storage page (see photo above)?

Just touch the cache area, and a notice saying that you will clear the cache should pop up.

Go ahead and do it, if you haven't already.

That can easily be up to or more than 1GB.

Now, go into your file manager, and look under your normal internal storage at a folder called DCIM.
Insure that 'show hidden files' is active on your file manager.
(Simple Mobile Tools makes an excellent File Manager, btw)

Inside, there should be a file/folder called thumbnails or .thumbnails
( . files are only visable if you have allowed 'show hidden files')

This is where every single thumbnail for each photo, video, avatar, ad, etc. is stored.

I have seen this useless junk file get to over 3GB!

Delete that crap.

Now back out one step to the DCIM folder, and add your own file-

.thumbnails

and save it.

This will prevent more thumbnails from being saved.

Yes, some galleries and video players really need thumbnails, and will start up slow without them.

If that is the case, get a new gallery and a new video player!

Once again, Simple Mobile Tools makes an excellent Gallery (pro version) and X-Player will play virtually any video that you throw at it.

Drawbacks?
Thumbnails allow for the retrieval of photos that have been deleted by accident.

But Simple Gallery Pro has a Recycle Bin, where everything you delete goes before it is permanently deleted.

So, no real drawbacks as far as I can tell.

Help Can't access gallery - not enough memory

I had the same problems as percifield in the above post but the solution they provided did not work for me.
I was about to give up and factory reset the phone. So to make the phone ready for this I backed-up all the media I had on the phone. Then I decided to try a few things.

What I did first was to open settings\storage and then "Format USB storage"
On the next screen, it says " Erase all USB storage? You will lose all stored data" with a button "Format USB storage"

After hitting the button a message pops up telling me this will erase all media (photos music etc) from the phone.
I proceed and after completing the operation I was able to access the gallery and I could see that it didn't actually delete any photos or music that I had stored but it did fix the problem. So I can now take photos again and remove and add new music to the phone again.

I really hope this helps someone else out there solve a very frustrating problem and stops you from buying a new phone when you don't need to. :)

Updating Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T520 to android .1

This last post looks like the info I have been looking for...is it still current and applicable to updating my t520 now that it seems there are apps that do not support kitkat? This would also be my first attempt at something of this magnitude.
