I have a phone that was rooted for me by one of the cleverest guys I know. Sadly, I've since lost all contact with him. I've decided to try to port cyanogenmod to this phone, however I'm completely on my own here: no tools, no recovery image, no nothing. All I have is the official LG updater, and my phone in its ideal rooted state.
So then, here is my question. I want to be able to fall back on something when I inevitably screw up this phone in my quest to port CM to it. Should I expect the LG updater to replace the awesomely rooted bootloader my friend put on for me? If so, then I would lose the ability to play with this phone.
Have to answer my own question here: Yes.
I performed an update with the hopes of grabbing an updated system image, and bam! Unlocked bootloader is gone.

My friend cracked his display, and needs his IMEI number. He can't use his phone at all, so he can't turn on USB debugging from the device. Also, it is not rooted.
He never made (or doesn't remember) a Google-account on his Oneplus X, so he can't check his IMEI from the dashboard by Google.
Is it still possible to take over his phone from the PC, and dial-up the IMEI number on screen? His display still works, but not the touchscreen.
Each device has a recovery or fastboot mode, which normally can be used with only hardware buttons. Most devices display the IMEI there.

I'm trying to control my android phone from a way out!I need to see my phone's screen.I want use my access point modem to perform this.
I have search the net but could not find a proper answer.
Is there any solution?
Thanks.
Sorry if the question tag may be wrong.
I don't know if you are seeking dev related instructions or just need an app which does what you want.
If the latter you should check this forum instead: https://android.stackexchange.com/
Some apps I know which does this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-review-remotely-control-your-android-device-with-teamviewer-xda-developer-tv/
I doubt that android supports this out of the box, as that would be a security hole.
You might be able to get some rdp Service installed, as android is a linux distribution, but I it might drain your battery.

I was just thinking it can't be great for the battery memory if the device is always charging at about 90-100%.
Couldn't find anything on Google.
Does anybody know about this?
This is perfectly fine, for older phones the batteries couldn't handle being charged constantly and being taken on and off all the time so this was a bad idea.
However, newer devices this doesn't matter as the battery is much better suited for this type of work. Plus android takes care of the battery, i.e. when it feels it may be getting a tad too warm it will stop charging (although the phone will still show as charging) to let it cool.
This is completely fine and safe

I experienced something weird on my Android tablet. It had been turned off for several weeks and then when I turned it on, it rebooted. Previously, it was just in sleep (standby) mode. But after rebooting, I noticed that the entire device was reset to its factory defaults. All my apps were gone and everything wiped.
Then a few days later I rebooted the device and was surprised to see that all my apps were back again and everything restored as it was. I don't use any backup/restore software, so I am really curious to know how this could happen? Does Android support multiple user profiles? If multiple boot profiles is supported, can this be utilized by an app through some API?
Android does not currently support multiple (simultaneous) user profiles. If you do want to achieve this, there is an app that supports it (perhaps more than one), but it involves having a rooted device.
I have personally used this on my home tablet, and it works quite nicely, but requires a reboot to access the other profiles.

I have a SEMC X10 Mini Pro, which has a tendency to randomly reset itself for no apparent reason.
I would like to inspect the Android system log file just prior to the reset, however I am unsure how to do this.
I have tried the app "Log Collector", however, the logs produced by this app only contain information from the last start-up, ie they don't contain the logging I'm interested in - before the "last start-up", around the "last shutdown".
Any advice out there?
You will probably get better luck on Android Stack Exchange, unless you are looking to do this programmatically. In which case take a look through the Log Collector source code and see if you can modify it to save you a txt file that will persist through a restart so you can go back through it once the device is rebooted.
