Hey all,

I've got this issue with my Samgsung S6 (G920F). I was charging it through an usb port on my laptop when it all of a sudden started vibrating and flickering and finally shutting down. Ive tried restarting it without any luck, tried going to factory reset mode, no luck, it froze everytime before i had the time to choose factory reset and automatically restarted itself doing the same thing over and over again. So i tried flashing it with Android 7.0 using Odin. Odin shows PASS! But after the Samsung logo appears and the phone reaches 100% on the System update it shows a blue screen with the text "Erasing" on the bottom of the screen. Thats the end stop, it never changes from that point. I've read on different forums that it can take up to 8 hours before the "Erasing" part is over and then the phone will work normally, dont know if thats the case though. Right now ive left it on "Erasing" for 4 hours and its still the same. On a side note, does it matter if the flash file is from another country? I've tried other countries aswell as my own country (Sweden), getting stuck in the same "Erasing" part. Any tips?

Appreciate any input.
[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
If all else fails, put the phone in download mode (vol down + power + menu) and try to use Samsung Kies or Samsung Smartswitch to restore it back to stock. I've had a few S6 devices that I've been able to revive that way. You'll need your model and serial number which you can access through the download mode (press home button).

Thanks for the reply, will definitely try that.

Issue with my Galaxy Grand Prime~

I made my first attempt to root my phone today. I think I did almost everything right, too (yay me, right?). I disabled OEM mode and enabled USB debugging and used ODIN. After that, I ran into no problems and had the super user app installed.

Unfortunately, I turned back OEM mode (I forgot what it was for :silly:) and on powering my phone back on I encountered the FRP lock blocking the custom binary.

Is there anything I can do to disable the lock? Also, is there anywhere I can find the firmware for it, because Kies and Smartswitch do not help me at all.

Additional Info: Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime from Wind Mobile (SM G530W)

AdAway has a whitelist feature. If a particular website which you want to be able to visit is being blocked, add it to AdAway's whitelist. Then, you have to reapply the rules (which will regenerate your hosts file), and you might also need to reboot.

Hey guys,

my mother can't use mobile data.

She can activate it but nothing changes.

No "4G" or arrows showing up in the status bar on the top of the screen.

How can we fix that? As far as I know, the mobile carrier had no idea too. The problem occurred with one sim card on two phones (old and new).
[General Questions and Answers] l0rd_vader:
I just disabled adway and reverted to stock hosts, but still the problem persists..

Any other idea?
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
The carriers Tech Support needs to confirm that the new device serial number (aka IMEI) has been changed/transferred to the new device and, if it has, then they push a refresh in their systems for the towers to permit the mobile data to go through for the SIM and Device.

I've had to do this on occasion when this happens.

Good Luck!

SU Binary occupied

Did everything wrong :(

I uninstalled Kingouser then installed SuperSU from Google Play. Opened the app but it said "su binary occupied" so I looked for help on the net. This was weeks ago.

Eventually got tired of it (and found out I could still use some apps without root) so I pressed full unroot. But I installed su again today and it still says "SU binary occupied".

How do I fix this? I'm using a Samsung device, SM-G530H

Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) bootloop problem

Hey guys,

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note (1) N7000

Rom: https://xdaforums.com/gal...t/rom-t2938649

Story: I switched on the Wifi to download the latest updates from play store, and I left the phone to idle. An hour later I checked my phone again and realised that it rebooted and stuck into a bootloop. Tried to remove the battery for 5 mins ,tried to delete caches ,non of these worked yet. Wipe data /full reinstall would be the final solution for me, I want to try other options first.

Any idea/tip what can I do?

Alright I'm definitely a noob in this case but I'm not sure where to ask this.

I own a moto Maxx with unofficial lineage OS.

I'm having a weird problem as of now. I have Playstore Version 8.2.38.T-all [0] [FP] 169346653 and just recently I got an update for Google play services instant apps.

All was well and fine until right now. After I install instant apps, play store keeps crashing. I can't do anything. The only way to fix it is to uninstall instant apps, clear data from play store. Now the the thing is instant apps installs itself from Playstore and I'm back to square one again. Any way to fix this?

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
What I had to do what let it install and then use TIBU to freeze it. This was the only way I found it not to install. I personally cant stand instant apps so I wwent out of my way to find how to disable them completely and this is the only way I found after shutting it off like the advice above.

ViolaPad 10G - possible ROM?

I got my hands on said ViolaPad tablet, not the latest design, still pretty ok, except for Android 4.2, which is incompatible to several apps and also turns out to have some rather annoying bugs.

Now the point is how to identify possible ROMs for this device or maybe there is an equal tablet from a different brand? It's using a Cortex a9/Rk3188, but I doubt this is "enough" to look for.

I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 (stock rom) with Solid Explorer File Manager installed via Play Store. I have purchase this app myself and thus, it's fully unlocked (aka not trial).

I also have a MotoG XT1033 (falcon) with LineageOS without gapps. I have no intention to install gapps. (Probably go with apkupdater). I am planning to install Solid Explorer File Manager apk from apkmirror.

How can I get the unlock full version of the Solid Explorer in my MotoG? If I just download the apk itself, it will be trial, isn't it?

Don't know how and why, but after getting stuck on the blue screen with "no command" I pressed and hold the power button + pressed volume up button once. Then I got to system recovery, there I chose factory reset and wipe cache (just in case, dont know if it was needed to do that really) and then chose bootloader (never tried that before). After that the phone restarted, went to the flashing Samsung logo (took a few minutes), here we go again i thought, but to my joy it started installing contents and now the phone works again.

So what I did to my Samsung S6 SM-G920F after it didn't restart properly due to flickering and vibrating eventually shutting down:

1) Installed a stock ROM with ODIN v3.12.7. I used ROM (Sweden): G920FXXU5EQCS_G920FVDS5EQD6_G920FXXU5EQDQ_HOME.tar

2) After several, and I do mean severeal attempts to start the phone I always got stuck on the blue screen with the text "No command" and a dead android fellow. So I went into recovery mode yet again by first pressing the power button and then volume up button once, this got me to recovery mode.

3) Then I performed a factory reset and wiped the cache (again don't know if this was needed, just writing what I did) and then chose bootloader. Maybe choosing bootloader from the start would have had the same outcome.

4) Phone then restarts, flashing Samsung logo appears and stays on for several minutes until "Content install" appears (never seen that in my previous attempts). After installation was completed phone booted up just fine.

Hope this helps for anyone experiencing the same issues.

KingWear KW88 UI

g'day all!

This is my first post here, and as this thread is supposedly noob-friendly I must be in rught place :]

So I just got Kingwear KW88 and I have two issues. I didn't find any support forum for this device, so here I am. If you know a better forum, please redirect me.

1. I live in Poland and my watch keeps changing Language Setting to Polish - this seems reasonable, but translation is less than perfect and I'd rather use English.

Whenever I change to english, after some time it switches back to Polish. Any clues ?

2. The watch face is round, so all application GUIs have cut corners, often making it impossible to press buttons etc. I guess this is because of running Android rather that AndroidWear with adapted apps - am I correct ?

An extra thing - build in app for notifications has buttons that make it difficult to click (too small?). This is something to ask for KingWear developers, but I'm not sure where ?

thanks for any pointers !

Hey everyone! I am new here and not really experienced, that's why i really need your help with the following:

I've rooted my device (Samsung galaxy s8 "SM-G950F")with TWRP & Magisk (by following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFDv8Ii7PM)

Everything went smooth without any problems.

After that I tried to install Viper4android and that's where the trouble starts.

(I followed this guide to install Viper4android: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-install-viper-android-galaxy-s8-s8-t3596933)

Now I do have it installed but any media sounds do not work at all on any app with or without headphones.

Rebooting or factory resetting does nothing.

My guess that it's something with audio_effects.conf or soundAlive_51 but can't know for sure.

Please help a desperate soul out
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. Cube:
Hello guys,

today i announced some strange behaviour on my phone. Ads popped up randomly in nearly every app, even on my homescreen. :confused:

My phone is a Sony Xperia Z5 with CarbonRom 5.1 (7.1.2) rooted with magisk.

I was surfing through the internet, after that it started displaying me weird ads.

I also i installed no app within the last two months. Only non-playstore app on my phone is Viper4Android.

Didn't know what to do so I formatted with TWRP Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data and reflashed an older backup. Now no ad appears anymore.

But what was/is this? Could it have done more than only displaying me ads? Like stealing passwords or anything? Should I change my passwords?:eek:

Is it really that easy getting infected by this?:eek:

thx:fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
Rebooting only restarts the system and factory reset wipes the data partition which will do nothing to a system mod. Your best bet is to flash back the stock ROM then root and try to reproduce the problem and report to the v4a thread with logs and other info.

If you think they're compromised then changing them wouldn't harm. Without checking the phone while it happens saying what caused it isn't really possible.

To not have a repeat of this it's better to just stick to play store+very trustworthy non ps apps as you already do and not downloading porn and other media from shady websites.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
To add to what was said above also make sure to get a browser with a built is ad blocker.

What you were most likely seeing were ads from a site you went to. Think of the popup ads from the 90's. Same thing really. A good ad blocker (should be standard) that blocks all ads in browsers and apps is always best.

Look up for uninstaller, maybe it`s incompatible with your device or first you must disable some stock sound optimizer. Some mods of sound like viper4a or Dolby Atmos don´t work properly over other mods of sound, maybe it replaced some bin file. first find your stock mode of sound cause S8 has enhancements of sound, take a backup, uninstall it and replace it for other like viper4a, dolby. When I installed dap r65 on my device first uninstalled viper4a

[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I believe that you must have installed something. Either you, or someone else, or a malicious website caused an app to be installed which was pushing the ads. If it happens in the future, you can use AdAway's Tcpdump feature to find out who is serving the ads, then you can figure out the offender.

It's simply the number of posts.

Read here about how to make your own custom recovery. It's a bit of a process.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Well then your out of luck unfortunately, I cannot think of anything else you didn't try...

Learn the lesson from it, every serious guide tells you to backup important files before modifying the device, especially EFS is very important as you see now, I for example got the TWRP one and pulled it via DD to adb/fastboot restore EFS in case needed, both uploaded to cloud and stored on the device, it simply should not happen and it is avoidable... Still I'm sorry for you but it's an important thing to learn
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. Cube:
Well it started when I accidentally clicked on a Pop-Up AD which opened a new window. I closed it right after opening.

Also as mentioned before only non Playstore apps are Viper4Android and magisk which I got from here.

Also i only have very popular apps on my phone (Facebook, WhatsApp, Greenify etc.)

But yeah, did a full wipe and a clean flash from an older backup, no ads anymore.

It can't be that easy getting access to my phone. So much security mechanism for nothing? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] darwin002121:
is there anything else . tutorials aside from this ? huhu help me please . iwant my nv_data.bin.bak restored :( huhu
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
On Mediatek devices you could replace the IMEI temporarily until next factory reset but on Qualcomm chipsets its almost impossible to restore it without a previously made backup, there are some rare cases where a full wipe with flashing stock firmware could help or maybe some mods/hacks like the xposed model but all this was suggested before and tried unsuccessfully as much as I read - so last thing in the line is to replace the motherboard or switch to another phone, I really don't see any further solutions, if you accidentally deleted EFS it without backup it's usually "game over" on most devices, that's just how it is...
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
There was your issue. Clicking the ad activated all the others.

I just got a Moto G4 Plus, and I've been bashing my head against a wall all afternoon trying to figure out how to impose a universal dark theme on it. I've found dark themed apps(alas, many of them are ad-ridden garbage when I'd pay if given the sodding option), I've found Nova Launcher, but nothing I do can seem to make the *whole phone* go dark/black.

There will never be that option unless google builds it in. Then you would have to make sure every app has a dark version as well. Unless you make the rom yourself then you are just kinda out of luck.
