ATT Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge hasn't updated since April 2017, and still won't.

Gonna try to be super brief with this to reduce clutter:

In 2016 (I think), the wife and I bought Samsung Galaxy S7 Edges (mine in March, hers in August), we are on AT&T. My phone updates fine, and now (July 2018) it has Android 8.0.0.

Her phone stopped updating a year ago in April (she only told me recently) and is not 8.0.0. version. When it updates, it always says it gets interrupted and it's always at like 57% or something. I can't find the exact number currently as she's out of town with her phone, but I'm researching this so I can clean it up ASAP when I get my hands on it.

Factory reset didn't seem to help.

I've flashed phones before, but it's been a couple years. I'm somewhat familiar with the process, so long as a thread is provided I can follow instructions easy enough.

I am wanting to flash her phone to Android 8.0.0., rooted and power usered and all of that jaz, but I want it to be capable of getting ATT's updates on it. The reason I want the updates is I think it has something to do with a recent problem her phone (and only hers) has been having. It basically randomly spazzes out and can't text anyone, or receive texts. If I try to text her, I can tell when her phone is being weird because my phone will be stuck on sending for ages. My phone never does this to the dozens of other people I text, I never get duplicated texts from anyone either, but I consistently get duped texts from her. I don't know how updates work or what they do, but I think her phone is missing the update that involves the signal because it doesn't like talking to ATT towers seemingly.

Hope that was brief enough, please point me where I need to go. Thank you. :)

Does anyone know what it means when I get this on my phone screen (no matter which button combination I press):

fastboot_int()

loading keystore failed status 5

Usb init ept @ 0x....

udc_start()

--reset---

--portchange---

fastboot: processing commands

I can't flash anything, neither I can boot into something else. Bootloader was locked and phone was not rooted. How can I repair it?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you root or install TWRP or anything else custom that modifies the system partition, you will no longer be able to update via OTA update(OTA update requires full unmodified stock system and stock recovery), you'll only be able to update by flashing the update via Odin(this removes root and TWRP in the process), and then, depending on the changes made in the update, you might not be able to root/install TWRP after the update.
[General Questions and Answers] lxxv:
I have no idea what this means, and when I posted this reply to my own question, it meant that all the work was done and finished. I literally have no idea why you even replied in such a way. It's like if I put a new engine in my car, and your response is "Yeah but if you drive it in water, it'll die." ... Uh, okay..? Lol.

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know what you're saying or why.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because in your first post here, you stated that you wanted to be able to update while keeping root and then continue to be able to receive updates after that.

I'm telling you that you won't be able to do that. You have currently updated, correct? If you're still, at this point, looking to root the device and/or install TWRP, but you still want to be able to receive OTA updates after that for future updates, then sadly, it won't work that way and you'll probably brick your device if you try to update in that manner. Stock OTA updates require a system partition that is not modified, if you root a device, you break that requirement because you have modified the system partition, OTA updates also require a stock recovery, if you install a custom recovery such as TWRP, you break that requirement

You might still receive a "notification" of an available update, and you might be able to select it and start the update process and it might actually download the update but if you are rooted and/or have TWRP custom recovery installed, when it finishes the download and then attempts to reboot into recovery so that it can flash the downloaded update, the process will be looking for stock recovery, if you have TWRP installed instead of stock, the process will fail right there and your device will be bricked, which then requires complicated recovery methods. If you DO have stock recovery instead of TWRP, you'll pass that requirement, but the process will still be looking for a system partition that has not been modified, if your device is rooted, then the process will fail right there and your device will be bricked, which then, also, requires complicated recovery methods.

In order to be able to apply a stock OTA updates correctly and safely, you can not be rooted and you must have a stock recovery instead of a custom recovery.

The only way to safely apply updates to a device that is rooted and/or has a custom recovery installed, is to download the stock update from the web and then flash it via PC using the correct flash tool for the device in question. In your case, you would use Odin for Samsung devices and you would download your firmware in .tar.md5 format from the web instead of using the update service located in your device settings or via notification on the device itself.

Has any Dev successfully ported Android P Beta 4 (DP 5) to OnePlus 3/T
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't see it anywhere, but if it ever becomes available here, it will be located in the One Plus 3T forum, which is where you should be looking instead of asking here.
[General Questions and Answers] Dheeraj Menon:
Did there too

Not much of a response from there
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It isn't available then, you'll have to wait, maybe a dev will port it, maybe not. If there is no android P source available for OP3T(it is not and it will never be), then more than likely, developers probably won't be interested in creating P for 3T.

More than likely, if P does get ported to 3T, it probably won't be done by a true developer. It will probably be done by a member here that is not a developer and does not have enough knowledge of android to produce a fully functional, bug free ported ROM. In other words, if it does get ported to 3T, you will be taking your chances if the creator is not a truly experienced developer(if they are porting ROMs instead of building ROMs from source, they probably are not true developers).
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
He is right. Your best bet would be just wait as all the roms will update to 9.0 source and then you can just run that rom. No real need to run beta software from Google of all people.

You can follow advances and ask in this thread https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...ment/rom-android-p-developer-preview-t3816659 Developer Preview 5 GSI it´s available for snapdragon devices that have a treblized rom 8.1 and for devices with A-A/B partition.

I tried in my device just to taste it but like it was said by Droidriven and zelendel in previous answers not worth it, not good and stable yet as daily driver, many bugs. The source was not release yet (I read that´s coming soon) but by now It´s nothing more than a GSI ported from Google Pixel XL so it´s not well adapted atleast comparing it with any 8.1 based rom.

Custom ROM for Sharp SH-07D

Good day :D First post, so please forgive me if I miss something.

I recently bought a Sharp Aquos SH-07D, 1GB RAM, 1.0GHz MSM8255 processor. It was originally just a "placeholder" phone until I can get a decent one, but I kinda like it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a custom ROM (I'm thinking old Cyanogen versions?) that could breathe new life to this, even just for light Internet browsing and old-school games.

I've only done the whole root-flash-tinker routine once, so a link to instructions on suggested ROMs would be really helpful. Thanks a lot! :D
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The post that you quoted was from 2013, five years ago.

Why did you post what you posted, also, the post that you quoted is not unnecessary.

Why are you replying to old posts everywhere here? That is considered spamming the forum unless you are replying to old posts to provide technical information that is associated to the post that you reply to. Judging by the posts you've made in the past few hours, I would say that all of your posts so far are not helpful and they are all unnecessary.

If you are intentionally spamming the forum just to get the 10 posts needed to post in development forums here, that is not cool at all.

There's various ways to Backup an App and App Data but, keep in mind that it doesn't always work from one device to another and, especially, if you are going from one Android version to another as well.

With that stated... It's not "impossible" and "may" work for you.

The preferred method is typically using the Titanium Backup and the following thread is one of the more active Guides where you should be able to obtain some member guidance and support within it.

I dont want to have to root my device tho. is it possible to backup without rooting it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I haven't used Titanium Backup myself in quite some time but, I do know that you don't "Need Root" for all the functions. Only those that are System related (like System Apps).

User apps are not system apps. If they were, you wouldn't have the ability to install/uninstall them.

For additional guidance, I would recommend reading and posting in that specific thread. Nothing wrong with posting here but, you have an increased chance for a response from a member with knowledge of this as well.

Good Luck!

Without root its impossible to use Titanium Backup in any way ;)

[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
You should backup all of your internal storage especially the "Android" folder as it contains usually app data from several apps.

Otherwise helium backup may be an option https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
[General Questions and Answers] Bonnie28:
how do I backup my data. ill try helium ty for your help
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
You can backup your internal storage just by copy everything to your PC ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you don't want to use Titanium Backup, try using adb. Do a Google search for:

"adb backup and restore"

There are many good guides for using adb. Copying internal storage to PC will only backup your app data, it won't backup your installed apps themselves, but adb backup can backup your apps as well as your app data.

This is not true. Titanium Backup can backup user apps, user app data, user app settings and user settings without root. Root is only required to backup system apps, their app data, device settings(at the system level) and to use the other in depth features available in Titanium Backup.

Bricked S8, no recovery, Batman OS DriveDroid

Hi, so I managed to brick my S8.

Happened after using DriveDroid. It didn't work trying to pick one of the Standard Android/Standard Android Kernel or the other, so I tried using the automatic mode to change to Mass Storage Device.

My S8 didn't show up on my PC any more when connected and is only charging when connected.

Tried rebooting in recovery but phone gets stuck on boot logo.

Recovery mode doesn't work. Download mode works but I didn't manage to do anything with Odin, as it gets stuck there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Now that I think about it, that's a good question, I just remember using Titanium Backup without root, can't remember the conditions. Haven't used TiBu in a few years. But as stated in my previous post, adb works, regardless, and better, in my opinion, rooted or not rooted.

Do you know if your bootloader is locked or not? If it is locked, that's your issue, can't flash TWRP on devices with locked bootloader.

If you can get into Download mode and you're able to get your computer to recognize the device then I'd suggest either using Odin to flash the correct firmware for you model/device (download from Sammobile.com); OR you might be able to use Samsung's Kies or Smart Switch to reflash the stock firmware.

Hi. So I always flashed customs roms for my galaxy phones that were not AOSP based. I know that Rersurrection Remix is a very good AOSP based ROM and many of my friends had it. However I do find it a bit tough to find a comprehensive list of features that will not work and that I'm used to. So I know that AOD does not work on those roms. I know that all samsung apps will not work, but I don't use them so that's fine. Is there anything else important that does not work and are there some features that are not present on touchwiz roms but are present on AOSP(I'm thinking features exclusive to AOSP based roms)?

I do know some, but if anyone knows where to look for a full list or wants to give meone, I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.

My employee had his contacts and photos on an LG K3 that got destroyed by a table falling directly onto his phone. It no longer powers up. He wants his contacts off of the phone and ideally his pictures too, but mainly his contacts. I was going to purchase another LG K3 and try inserting his SIM card and SD card into the new LG K3. I'm guessing I'll be able to retrieve his photos off of the SD card, but I'm thinking the contacts likely won't be on the SD card. My info is based on guesses. Does anybody know if this plan is likely to work or if there's another way I should be going about this? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
This is not a question that can be asked or answered in a general manner, this is device specific and ROM specific. You need to read each ROM thread in your device specific forum or ask members that own/use that specific device model number that also use those ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the device will not charge or will not even try to power on. There isn't anything you can personally do yourself to retrieve data from the device if that data is on internal memory. It will have to be sent to a professional shop, it will require dismantling the device and maybe even de-solder the chip from the board to retrieve the data by in-depth flashing/extracting methods.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Clone devices don't have a "true" stock firmware, that's why they are clones. Clones have operating systems that have been hacked together and modified in an attempt to copy another device. Your device has no "proper ROM", there is only the operating system that was installed on it, there is no database or anything that makes the "proper ROM" available because it doesn't exist. It was hacked together when it was originally installed.

That is the biggest issue with buying cloned devices. Yeah, you get a device that "looks and acts" like another device without paying the high price for the device you're trying to copy just so you can look cool like the people that actually have the "real" device that you're copying. But, along with that comes the fact that device has absolutely NO software support or technical support from the so-called "manufacturer". Moral of the story, if you buy junk trying to pass as high end, you get exactly what you pay for, pure junk.

My advice, throw it in the trash and get a device that is not a clone, problem solved.

JODIN Troubleshooting

I have an old galaxy note GT-N7000, which I still use and it’s rooted. Recently it has been giving me issues so I decided to do a factory reset which I thought would just unroot everything & solve current issues. However, it just got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy note screen and would not boot up. It also only boots into download mode, not recovery mode for some reason.

I have downloaded a stock N7000 stock rom to flash back to stock, Jodin program etc, including the pit file, which seems to load fine on my MAC, but as soon as it connects and tells me to press start, all it says is running but does nothing. It does not flash the rom and gives no error. Jodin just says running...

Any idea why? Am I using the wrong stock rom file to flash back to normal? all I want to do is get this phone unrooted and working as normal.

Here I decided to manually update my software and downloaded the official update. but I encounter this error while doing the update.

base on the error, the firmware I downloaded was for "NRD90M" and my build Id is MRA58k. that's why the update was aborted.

I just want to ask NRD90M refer to nougat build while MRA58k is for marsmallow right? does the error mean I cannot to manual update?
