Re: Installing Android on MX4

 

Hi,

I have tried a lot of methods, the only way is using Windows because you need usb driver perfectly working with your phone. Try to ask in "xda developers" forum, there are some people that have changed their firmware version on MX4, a lot of these from flyme to cyanogenmod.

Bye

Now I remember why I've always avoided using adb :-(  I don't have a
Windows machine, I have a Macbook and a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.
Here's what it looks like on the Pi:

mat@pi:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached

mat@pi:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
????????????    device

mat@pi:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached

Last time I tried adb I found the problem was partly an unrecognised
manufacturer ID.  I fixed this by editing adb_usb.ini.  That file is
still there but isn't doing much for me now:

mat@pi:~$ cat .android/adb_usb.ini
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

Does anyone know how to get adb talking to an MX4 without a Windows machine?

Hi,

when I installed the firmware in one of my two MX4, I'm doing this
from Windows, because I have trouble to upload Flyme firmware from
Ubuntu Desktop.
So, you can find here:

howto install ABD and fastboot on windows pc, you need this package to
permit at your computer to talk with your phone during "fastboot"
mode. You can find here a video that explain you howto use fastboot
and adb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foLQCNxroHw

For installing the Flyme firmware you can find here a guide:
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg13848.html but if you are
worried about the flashing process, I suggest you to ask (or search an
old threads) in "xda developers" forum to get help or find a guide for
flashing your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/
