Sorry buddy its not a charge problem. I think "adb erase boot" command has to do with it. Do exactly know how to restore the boot files back to device internal storage.

No tool seems to be working.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Typically, ROMs from one device can't be used on another device because firmwares and custom ROMs are built specifically for the device they are used on.

There are very rare exceptions where two devices can use the same thing because the devices are exactly the same device, they have all of the same components, it's just the name on the device that is different.

If you want to use a firmware or ROM from a different device, it has to be ported to work on the device you want to use it on.

I downloaded an app from the Play store which put obb files into android/obb and when I uninstalled the app the obb stayed. I tried to delete the files and it fails every time.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

I got frustrated and just wiped the ROM and updated to the new RR that came out a couple of days ago. That cleared it.

As I've started reinstalling my apps things are showing up there again.. SNES and retroarch. But es file manager is showing them as not necessary, yet I can't delete them. It's kind of bothering me that I can't remove things. Any help would be awesome. I can usually figure it out but I'm stumped here.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What do you mean "can't delete"? Is it not allowing the deletion or are you deleting it but the deleted files still show where you deleted them from?

Could it be that the things your are deleting are going to recycle bin but you aren't clearing recycle bin? If this is what is going on, the files in recycle bin take up space. Things in recycle bin would show up as unnecessary files when performing a scan in ES File Explorer as well. Are you using the recycle bin feature in ES File Explorer? Do you ever empty it?

Are the files you are speaking of on your external sdcard? If so, it might require root and r/w permissions to delete files on extsdcard.

Have you set root access in developer options to "apps and adb"?

Have you enabled root explorer and mount r/w permissions in ES File Explorer?

[General Questions and Answers] godkingofcanada:
It has read and write in the app enabled. Root is set. It's on the internal folder. I can put things into the data folder but when I try to remove from obb it fails to delete. I get a operation failed

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

I'm starting to think maybe nougat doesn't use the folder obb or they changed it so things can only be added or removed via app installation somehow.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What data folder are you talking about? If you are talking about the /data folder located in the root of your internal sdcard then it requires r/w permissions to be set in ES File Explorer's root explorer mount r/w sub menu, all partitions in that menu should be set to r/w. Are you certain you have this set correctly?

I'm going to flash my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T with Odin to return to stock and hope it fixes my issues. I have the latest md5 from updato and put it in AP slot. Phone is in download mode. What options do I choose? Auto reboot, F-reset time on? Re-partition off? Anything different?

Edit: Went ahead and did so. It passed, and now I'm waiting on a white screen... hope this is normal.

Edit2: 20 minutes now of white screen with T-Mobile logo. No response from bottom buttons or taps. Not sure if this is normal, but I'll keep waiting.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What issues were you having before you flashed it with Odin?

Try powering off then rebooting into stock recovery then factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot and see if it works. This is sometimes necessary after flashing with Odin to remove old files still on the device causing conflicts.

Will factory reset do anything to my sd card files? If not then I'll go try it.

Edit: Googled and posts say no, but I removed my sd card just in case anyways.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you mean the external sdcard, no, it doesn't touch external sdcard. But even if it did, all you'd have to do is take the sdcard out before resetting so that question is pointless.

It will wipe your internal data though, there's no way around that. At this point you have no choice but to factory reset and wipe cache. You do want your device to work, correct? Then just do the wipe, you can't always get what you want.

Yeah I did just wipe it and rebooted, but it's still at the same white screen with T-Mobile logo. It's been there few minutes now like before. What do I do now?

Yeah, it can take up to 30 minutes or more on first boot after flashing, after it loads the first time it won't take as long to boot the next time.

Stock succeeded, along with TWRP and then LineageOS flash also. It seems like my issue with apps requesting location/gps causing the data connection to fail entirely when off wifi. Sorry for forgetting to answer your question about the issue earlier, but that was the issue. Not sure about the cause, likely firmware wasn't updated enough when I chose to install Lineage the first time. + some other factors like APN being different somehow....

Strangely enough I have 2 of the same name APN after I went from stock to Lineage (just like before) but the two APN slightly differ in some type. I'm not going to touch them even though neither match what T-mobile's Galaxy S5 apn should be like. Data seems to be working now anyways.

Thank you for helping!

Hola app (Norway proxy): ((TypeError: Cannot read property "no" of undefined))

Hello,

Thanks for the thread.

I have been using Hola app on my phone (android 5.0), specifically the Norway proxy for a certain purpose (study ^-^ yay)

Anyway, lately I've been getting this message and unable to open the page

(TypeError: Cannot read property "no" of undefined)

I tried on tablet but got the same error

I asked someone in a different country and it was working smoothly

Is it a problem in the country where I am, that Hola proxy can't pass internet restrictions or something?

Any solutions please?

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Is "TypeError: Cannot read property "no" of undefined" the error you're getting?

I'm not familiar with the app that your talking about but it could be an issue with the app itself. Did you recently updated the app?

Do this,

1. Go to Apps section in Settings and clear App Data of this app and then uninstall it.

2. Install the latest version again.

3. If the problem persists, do step 1 again and then install an older version of the app instead.

4. If it still doesn't fix the issue, try some other VPN, maybe there's some issues being introduced by the VPN

Manually upgrade htc one m9 to nougat

Hi,

I recently bought a used unlocked htc one m9 in the uk from a store. It runs Android 6.0 3.35.617.12. Back in belgium i wanted to upgrade to nougat but it keeps on telling me the phone is up to date. Nougat has been pushed in both the uk and belgium for the M9 though. I did my research here to manually do it and learned that my sku is 617 so i needed to download the ruu file with 617 in it. I downloaded and tried 4.14.617.6, 4.23.617.1 and 4.30.617.12 all from the american htc site but i always get error 132 signature error. This is my first android phone after being on cydia ios for all these years so everything is new to me. I'd really like to run the latest firmware first before diving into the rooting world. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
One thing you could try is to go to settings > about and check for software updates there. Your phone will go through multiple OTA updates, so hook up to wifi before you start the downloads.

You could also try flashing this file that I extracted from the official RUU.exe for you, to update all at once to 4.30.617.12

Download it to your PC (it's over 2.1gb)

Rename the file by deleting everything in the name of it except for 0PJAIMG (and .zip of course) and place it onto your extSD

Boot to bootloader (power off your phone then boot it by holding power+vol down) and select download mode

Follow the on screen prompts (vol up to confirm the flash ~ power button to reboot when it is done)

And that's it, super easy.

After you have flashed the .zip, delete it from your extSD. If you don't, every time you boot to download mode it'll try to update again.

Good luck!

Hello there

I'm a bit ashamed to post here because I already made a thread about my problem that seems to be common (am I the only one who got a problem with TWRP?) but I got no help, and maybe I won't get a reply from the support so here I go.

Here's my problem: since I partitioned my SD card, TWRP can't write on it and I have no idea of what I can do to fix that. Re-flashing TWRP doesn't fix anything.

However, TWRP can read my SD card and when I'm setting a backup it select only one partition - the good one.

So, how can I fix it? Please help me, I can't do anything with my recovery like this and this starts to drive me crazy...

How about to take a rom that's lollipop and upgrade it to nougat? To expand on this, there's a thread with people talking about paranoid android and how they wish klte devices had it. I've got an old unofficial build that I tried on my s5 and it works. LTE and data work. Dialer works. Gapps and apks work. So I'm thinking I can update that from a lollipop Rom to a nougat ROM and share it with the guy who is having troubles compiling his own version. I think they don't know there is a klte build or two lurking out there and are actually trying to port it to the s5. Building off an already working klte PA ROM is probably easier then switching one from s3 or s4 to the s5.

Hi I successfully flashed TWRP and rooted my lg k550 using Messi2050's thread for lg Stylo 2 plus but my screen is pretty smashed up on that phone ( plus it's just fun to customize your phone). I also have a LG Stylo 2 boost Mobile which is in a lot better shape and basically the same phone. The problem is with the boost Mobile variant you cannot get to bootloader mode. There phone just reboots. There is a recovery mode and you can enable oem unlocking in developer options and I've found the proper TWRP for my model. The problem is without fastboot mode I can't figure out how to unlock the oem or how to flash a custom recovery. Amy help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] godkingofcanada:
If you partition the SD card as internal or separate blocks only your phone can read it properly, while the ROM is running. TWRP will not have the required permission or ability. You need to keep it formatted as portable, and as one chunk of memory. I know someone already replied and told you to put it back to normal. I just wanted to add to that so you would understand why it was happening so you know how to avoid the mess in the future.

Well u can flash a prerooted kernel for root. via cwm. as the devices of huawei comes unlocked i guess.

So best would be to find a custom or stock rooted kernel with cwm..As ics stock advanced ics kernels etc are there with such support

That'll be ur solution..
