Hi all

I have an s7 edge - Australian Telstra edition using android 6.0.1.

Phone was factory reset but locked to previous owner.

Upon using latest odin and the correct Telstra firmware the flashing failed. Now phone either boots to recovery but has no system partition or boots into emergency mode or lastly download mode.

I've downloaded several firmware for it but odin won't complete the flashing. Times out.

If I try to use say twrp recovery it says frp lock prevents a custom Rom being flashed.

Reading guides after guides just trying to put stock firmware back on this thing.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Have also tried smart switch in emergency mode but that also fails.

Getting desperate [emoji45]

Try a different cable. Had a similar situation last week. Tried a different cable and flashing worked.
[General Questions and Answers] tys0n:
Try reboot to bootloader, then boot system from there. I had a similar experience on Moto G5 and that solved it.
[General Questions and Answers] cynergy:
Will do thank you.

The odin does talk to the phone just doesn't complete the flashing process. I thought I read somewhere that prior to flashing the usb debug or oem mode should have been switched on which I could not do due to setup wanting previous gmail details.

My original intention was to reflash the phone with the latest android 7 but using Samsung's regular firmware not the "telstra" one. De-branding as it were.

Thanks again I'll try a new cable and see how I go.

Used genuine Samsung cable shipped with another phone - flashed quickly and correctly no errors. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] tys0n:
No need for USB debug enabled to flash with odin, and oem unlock is only needed if you want to flash anything not signed by Samsung. ( Tripping Knox)

Reflashing fw won't get you pass the Google frp thought. It will still ask for Google account.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
In my experience, if the flash doesn't fail, but just doesn't finish, it's usually a cable issue.

Tip: look for cables with prongs both on the top and bottom of the micro USB end.

Hey,

My Cubot x18 went into a boot loop, so I flashed it with the ROM I found on Cubot's website (it said it's for x18) and SP flash tool. However now the phone won't boot at all - nothing seems to happen after holding power button. I can still see the phone when connecting it to my laptop and flashing a new ROM seems to be working fine, but I've tried every ROM I could find for the phone with same end result - power button does nothing. What I'm wondering is could this be a usb driver issue since my windows installed drivers automatically or is it just ROMs not working or what else could be causing this?

A quick search shows it is common to replace emojis files on Android. Often times, these files are from earlier versions of Android, iOS, or EmojiOne. But how come we don't see filesets for the WhatsApp or Facebook emojis? Is it not possible to rip those emojis out and use them system-wide?

Rom rebuild help

I have been searching throughout the forums and Google for about a week now. I did not want to post without a good look around, but the issue is I don't really know what I am supposed to be looking for.

I am building a Lineage ROM from source for an LG Tablet, (the G Pad). I want to remove bloatware and add our own apps on the tablet as ordered. But I also want to include my own welcome screen and boot logo, not to mention some other changes to the UI like gesture support.

I have been able to build the latest Lineage ROM for the v410 device as of today. I can explore the output folder to see the contents just fine, and it flashes OK as well. Yet, I am lost as to where/when I make changes to the ROM so it contains what I want, (or don't want).

Is there any place that may help me walk in the right direction to do this? I do not mind doing the work, but on this stage of the matter, I am just lost as to where to start or work from.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You can back up your stuff ...

-create a complete image of your internal memory via your recovery,

-back up most apps and their data with Titanium Backup Pro (in the Play Store - not free but IMHO well worth it)

You can gain more control over the things your apps may / may not do with LBE Security Master (here on XDA)

You can get rid of all the bloat ware you won't ever use (various apps, most notably again Titanium Backup Pro).

Depending on your CustomROM and your phone model, you may be able to theme your device quite extensively.

What is the problem?

I had rooted my HTC Desire10 Lifestyle after unlocking(but S-ON) and using 'Magisk'. Now, when I flash busybox (Stericsson version) zip I find it is not installed (As far as I understand, it should be found at /system/xbin). When I flashed 'Magisk' it was OK. Why is it so? Another question, even after making '/system' partition re-writable using available app(s), when I copy and paste some files inside 'system/bin' and/or 'system/etc', why these files vanish when my device reboots?

[General Questions and Answers] CConn882:
So over the past few months I've grown frustrated with my S8+ lagging, stuttering, and having other random glitches, so I've been seriously thinking about putting a custom rom on it, but I have a bunch of questions I haven't seen entirely answered despite searching for some/all of them quite a bit...

1). Can you use Android Pay after installing any custom rom? (so far, the only ones I've seen say you can't)

2). Are there any downsides to having a custom rom besides the obvious ones? (aka tripping Knox, voiding the warranty, etc.). For instance, years ago I had a modded android dongle for my TV, and I remember I couldn't use Netflix because it could tell it was a rooted or altered device, does that still happen?

3). If my main problem with the stock rom is sluggishness, would merely installing a different kernel fix that? Or is it better to just do a whole rom instead?

4). Everything (except possibly the Knox trip), is reversible if I back my current rom up first, right?

5). Do you suggest installing the new rom from my PC or just solely using my phone? Is there anything I should know besides what's always covered in the usual guides?

6). If you have any knowledge on the various S8+ roms, which would you say is best for my needs? I don't really need a lot of modification ability (I'm running the Pixel launcher, and that's pretty much all I need to be happy on that front), but speed, fluidity, and battery life is important to me.
[General Questions and Answers] Eversmile23:
Files vanish after rebooting.

Will I have to go for S-OFF to ensure that the files I copy & paste inside /system partition do not vanish on re-boot? Or, should I make the /system partition RO , then re-boot?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Meanwhile wait a different opinion:

Like first try you can just debloat all unnecessary apps, sometimes this solve the problem.

1) I can´t confirm but problem with Android Pay is that it detects root condition, most of the users install a custom rom and keep rooted. You have to unroot and disable USB debug again cause pc detects this back door open and also a lot of malware can integrate it to your system in both devices.

2) Some apps (pay. money transfer, purchases related) consider root like a vulnerability problem (and it does) also DRM are missing or non-functional at 100% maybe you can solve this unrooting again.

3) Custom kernels can´t solve this in your stock rom cause were made to improve and works properly in custom roms.

4) Yes, you can restore from your backup and also install a clean stock rom again through Odin tool.

5) Most of the custom roms are installed through custom recovery although you can install via adb sideload without copy rom to your sdcard but only in your pc. There´s no difference in the final result.

6) If you want to keep minimal Samsung features choose a light/debloated rom like this (if compatible, read exact model) https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...s-device-development/rom-lightrom-v1-t3636154 but if you want to try something completely different you can search a rom based on AOSP or on an android pure fresh look.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
From what you have posted, I'd be willing to bet that the reason for your device lagging and stuttering is because you have various social media apps installed, such as: Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, KiK, etc...

These apps are known for causing devices to lag, more than one of these installed makes it even worse.

So you're left with a choice of which is more important to you.

1) battery life and speed

Or

2) keeping up with all the useless nonsense on social media.

There are other options to keep up with social media other than installing apps on your device. Most of them can be accessed and followed by using your mobile browser and creating a shortcut for each of them that gets added to your home screen instead of having the app installed, then just tap on the shortcut on homescreen whenever you want to access each of those social medias. When you have the apps installed, they run in the background constantly, even when you aren't using them, so it can keep you updated on activity in those social medias. The shortcuts don't run constantly in the background, they only run when you use them, closing the tab in browser ends its activity. You can still receive notification updates for these medias in browser by setting them to notify you via email and then linking to your gmail account, the notifications will go to your email app and have the email app set to notify you when you get new emails or you may can receive your notifications from the various social medias via text message if they have that option.

i have a strange issue i cant figure out.

always on display...on my galaxy s8+...got an analogue clock on it....but when i take phone from my pocket its always showing the wrong time, typically the time of when i put the phone in my pocket...like time doesnt update on it....second hand is still going around on the always on display clock but it doesnt update the time.

Are you on stock or are you using a custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Are you sure the power button itself is functional?
[General Questions and Answers] dougm1970:
stock. not rooted or anything. os and aod updated.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, strange for unrooted stock but it happens.

Could it possibly be caused by something else you installed?

Have you tried booting into safe mode so that only the stock system apps are running, then use the device for a little while in safe mode as you would usually. If it doesn't display the same behaviour then it's caused by something you installed.

If it still displays the behaviour then its probably a bug in an update that you've gotten or could be some kind of corruption of some kind.

Maybe it's a certain setting that chose and you don't realize it is associated.

Have you tried booting to stock recovery and wiping only the cache partition but not factory resetting?

Maybe you need to flash the newest firmware again?
[General Questions and Answers] ShadowScyth3:
Ehh I believe so - it was functional before I flashed the stock ROM. After flash I was no longer getting the phone being charged animation either when plugging it in the charger. I thought it could be battery being too low to start the phone but it was at about 50% before flash so I don't think that is the issue..
[General Questions and Answers] dougm1970:
mmm.....it appears after some testing this morning that this issue only happens on analogue clock not on a digital clock on AOD
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Always on Display is interfering with a wakelock somewhere then.
[General Questions and Answers] dougm1970:
but would it be like it on only one version of the analogue clock ?

If it does it there but nowhere else then it would seem to be the case for whatever reason, don't you think?

For mt67xx series is more appropriate SPFlashTool v5,1728.

Be sure that your phone is power off at time to connect to pc cause sometimes is in a fake off. Hold at same time for 10 seconds both vol up+down+pwr button then release.

Up your pc volume at maximum and when connect device you´ll hear two sounds (it means that pc recogniced it) and then three sounds (it means that tool recogniced it) at time to connect hold just both vol up+down (mt65xx works with vol down, this is different) till you see a red stripe then release and let the tool works (don´t do nothing at pc meanwhile)

After rooting I was using Rom Toolbox Pro, and during a system edit, the phone died... it was plugged into a charger, but the damn charger is kinda messed up, so I got to hold it JUST right, well it died, and after that it wouldnt boot. So I tried flashing back the rom I used before to flash the root, and used the recovery that came with it, but nothing works. I cant use the home button because its inactive until the phone boots up. I tried flashing a rom that used the same recovery options as mine, but it still will not work. I even tried every different way mentioned above. Could someone google search the Cricket Samsung Discover SCH-R740C, and see if they can find the perfect files I should use? I seriously tried everything but adding triangle away the zip. I will try this now and post back. Any help finding the perfect files for Odin for this phone would be appreciated. I looked all over, and found tons of people who have phones in the same state, looking for files to use to repair them. Thanks in advance, and I will get back to you on that. Btw how do I use the script? I cant get fastboot, adb, or anything like that working, nor can I boot to recovery, nor can I do anything like it to get this stupid thing back into recovery.
