You are almost correct, use SuperSU to unroot, then reflash stock recovery if you have custom recovery installed (CWM/TWRP), factory reset, then apply the stock update, wipe cache and factory reset again after updating just for safe measure. The update will probably include the bloatware which means you have to root the device again after updating and then remove the bloatware again.

No, there is no other way to update while keeping the changes you've made, gotta start from scratch after updating.

So would it be impossible to use something like flashfire to update my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
How about you just link me to what you've been looking at.

Typically, a device is updated by these methods:

1) flashing a newer stock firmware via PC and the Flashtool for that device.

2) Over-the-Air (OTA) update via the devices settings.

3) Downloading the OTA update in a stock update.zip and flashing it via stock recovery.

4) Flashing a custom recovery then flashing a custom ROM .zip or stock flashable .zip in that custom recovery.

I don't think I've ever seen anything about applying an update or a ROM via an app.

You will need to edit some files within the systems folder. Default.prop, feature.xml, etc. I had a custom rom made from chinese base rom. The various .prop files had codes within the system folder instructing phone to refuse google services and the play store. I will check and tell you the files you will need to examine for such codes.

Download kingoroot apk from their website.

Just Google word "kingoroot apk" and download apk file install and root your Android device with just one tap. It's the simplest method for rooting.

There are many other different method for rooting but if you want some root then try kingoroot.

Can anyone take a look at my issue here .
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you verified it works or not when the screen is rotated top, bottom, left and right? If it doesn't work in any of the screen positions then the issue is a software problem, if it does work in other positions then the issue is a hardware problem.

Did you recently make any modifications or flashed anything before this happened?

Hey guys, complete noob here. I'm trying to root my Xperia Z5 compact. I have checked that my Bootloader is unlocked, which it is. But I can't find a solid answer on how to unlock everything I read seems to be different. My model number is E5823. Thanks in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] hellakarsh:
Actually, when the screen is rotated such that the nav bar shifts to the upper side of the screen (Rotating phone clockwise or right), then the keys works perfectly. But at the same time when there is any other thing instead of the nav bar (like at the lock screen), then the bottom part works fine. This is exactly the case with my phone.

So this didn't seem to be a h/w issue as that portion of screen works perfectly if there is some other element instead of nav bar.

And yeah, the navigation keys don't work in TWRP recovery or safe mode either.

No, this issue just popped out of nowhere.

[General Questions and Answers] Brine!:
Android noob here. I have an old LG Optimus G Pro in good working condition. I want to give it to my 12 yr old to use. Going to camp soon. I am trying to avoid spending more money on a newer phone. He is like a bull in a china cabinet. I have been searching for the best way to update it & make it more secure, since it is not supported by AT&T anymore. I am finding that it isn't really supported by anyone now. I am finding bits & pieces of instructions of root, rom, twerk, jerk & side load. Or they seem like bits & pieces to me. I am missing the basic steps. They seem to jump past the first few steps needed, since I am new to Android & coding in general. I work in an IT helpdesk & deal mostly with existing software issues, hardware & deploying pre-configured hard drive OS images with Acronis imaging software.

*Where are the basic steps to learn how to do what I am trying to do for my LG OG Pro?

*Are there any semi updated ways of completing the task out there?

*This has to have already been dealt with in the past, but I have to ask...Has anyone tried to use any kind of imaging software to install images pre-configured, rooted or unlocked on other phones of the same model?

I am not a programmer, so that would explain my misunderstanding of any standard programming knowledge of rooting, tooting, popping & unlocking.

Thanks for your time reading my long story.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You didn't add a theme or launcher or fonts or lockscreen wallpapers or changed any kind of settings?

Have you checked to see if you're having issues with overlays that need to be disabled?

You haven't flashed any kernels or updated with a different or newer custom ROM than before this started?

If it isn't hardware, it's something you changed somewhere, something that you wouldn't think has anything to do with the issue.

I've Galaxy J5 with the factory ROM and before some weeks I've done the official update from lollipop to marshmallow.

I wanna ask now, what's the negative consequences of installing another stock ROM manually from sammobile, for example, will I lose official Samsung update notifications?
[General Questions and Answers] hellakarsh:
Actually, it's my grandfather's. He was just watching some YouTube videos when this happened and as I've earlier mentioned, I have already tried flashing stock firmware from both the SP Flash Tool and diff version of Stock ROM from recovery by doing a clean install (wiping data, system, cache and dalvik). So I think it removes the possibility of any screen overlay apps or any third party app or font or anything.

And I haven't flashed any kernel before the issue. The phone was running on 6.0 and after the issue I again clean installed 6.0 on it but it didn't helped. So I flashed stock 5.0 firmware which doesn't help either. So I'm back on 6.0 now with the issue still persist.

Flashing official stock firmware from Sammobile via Odin has no negative effects, you can still receive updates.

It isn't the method that is used to flash firmware that causes problems, problems are caused when what you are flashing is not official firmware.

My note 5 has very low service

Hi all,

I'm having a very frustrating and annoying problem with my note 5. I have just bought a note 5 brand new from a local store, and it seems it is from America. It is a unlocked at&t phone from America. The model is SM-N920A.

Now the problem I'm having is that it has a really weak signal. I have tried multiple sim cards in it and all are 2-3 bars lower then on my other phone. Most the time it has no reception or service and it is very frustrating.

Anyway I have done a tonne of research and it seems that the bands that at&t have are the same as the bands required for 4g and 3g service here in Australia.

I was wondering if anyone knows weather it may be a compatibility issue or weather there may be a problem with the phone.

The next few questions relate to installing a different region firmware on the phone. I want to flash it with the stock Australian firmware. So from what I understand if the model of my phone is SM-N920A, I need to flash it with only a firmware with the exact same model. Is this true. The problem with that is that no Australian firmware exists with the model N920A. So what would happen if let's say I tried to flash SM-N920I firmware which is an Australian firmware available in v7.0.

I don't know if what I've written makes any sense lol, but I'm pretty new to Android and I'm hoping someone can shed some light.

I would appreciate any help, thanks all.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You are probably having problems with modem compatibility.

Compare the hardware between G920A and G920I. If the hardware components are different then, no, you can't flash G920I, if they are the same then it's a slight maybe but I wouldn't chance it without something in writing that says it works.

I think it's an issue with the stock ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Find out what version your modem is. You can try to upgrade or downgrade your modem. I suggest against flashing anything saying it's for a different model than your phone. It's possible that that particular device simply doesn't work well in Australia.

Good day. I have a lovely Lenovo a588t.

I love the look and feel of this phone, I love how ridiculously large it is compared to my head when I use it for voice calls. It's clunky and awkward and awesome. Thanks to Clam_, I was able to even get the keypad working for typing in apps like old flip phones would, so it's even more fun.

For a time, I had been using it with limited functionality here in Illinois, USA on the Cricket network. I knew I wouldn't be able to get 4G and that only some carriers would give it compatibility for 3G service (of which my carrier is evidently not). I could make calls and send texts, but no images and I couldn't use internet services unless I connected to WiFi.

Cricket has since completely removed their 2G services (and even sent me a free Alcatel phone for it, which was nice of them), and I miss my a588t. So much so, that I've considered swapping carriers or even modifying the phone completely.

I've done a bit of reading on the forums here and I've tried doing searches to learn a bit more about how phones work, but there's so much information it's overwhelming. I'd like to know (or be shown how to find out) what carriers, if any, in the US would give me at least 3G compatibility for my a588t.

Better yet, but more complicated, I'd like to know how I could change the data receiver (unsure if this is even the correct term) in my phone itself to an American receiver that can manage 4G reception for Cricket. Then I would like to know how to make it work in the interface and functionality part of using my phone.

Edit: I am perfectly willing to gut the phone piece by piece and really go custom with it in the event of changing the data receiver.

I have recently tried rooting a S5 and it worked and then I tried to install TWRP on the phone, it didn't work. When I try and boot into recovery mode after installing TWRP it takes me to download mode and it says "Could not boot up properly." at the very top. I do not have a clue to what the issue could be execpt it having something to do with KNOX or something like that. If you know a fix for this issue I would love to know it, thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the device is network/SIM unlocked, then all you need to do is activate it on any CDMA network that allows unlocked devices.

There are specific devices that have compatibility issues, you would have to check each networks compatibility lists.

The idea of changing parts to get 4G instead of 3G is just ridiculous, technically "possible" but realistically it's not. You'd more than likely kill the device than actually get it to work, there's more involved than just changing hardware components, it's not something that can be done with just a soldering gun.

Your bootloader is locked, you can't flash TWRP on your device.

Is the repair possible to my device by these ordinary softwares like QPST, QFIL Or Any Other Softwares ???? Or am i missing some firmware components? Can Service centres repair my device?? How much it will cost?
