Do not flash any bootloader to your phone. It is good that it did not flash mk5 over ne6. This will brick for phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
Ok thanks. Where can I find the latest boot-loader for my device? I was trying to follow this guide to flash CM11 and it told me to download the latest boot-loader and update it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2682905

I guess the thread I wrote above is an outdated guide to flashing CM11. Would you happen to know the steps I should take to flash cm11 for my device with my current bootloader?

BTW I still can't flash the CM11 Rom in Philz Touch Recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodstorm666:
Iv never had any issues using philz touch to flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You have the ne6 bootloader. Do you have an i747m or i747? It will make a difference when it comes to flashing an updated bootloader and modem.

Are you downloading the latest CM11 from the cyanogen site?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
Thanks for helping out so far. My Model number that shows up in "About Device" in my phone's settings say SGH-I747M. Yes I am downloading the latest CM11 Nightly build here : http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte

P.S.

Will I bay able to go back to stock if I don't like CM11? I heard that it will brick my phone from rolling back the boot loaders. What if I restore from a nandroid backup, will that work to restore to stock without bricking my device?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
With a custom recovery, you can create a backup, flash your ROM, and you can restore the backup if you don't like cm11.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
Ok thats good. Though I still have the problem of flashing CM11. It still fails on me on TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What error are you getting? What cm11 ROM are you flashing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
Never mind, found out that I had to run the factory reset in PhilZ Touch first then flash the rom. Alls good, but didn't like CM11.

Though why didn't it work on TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I had issues with TWRP flashing ROMs too. Once I switched to Philz which is based on CWM, I had no issues flashing the same ROMs that TWRP would not flash.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Small one this - when you go into Google+ and go settings/back up all, then click `yes` on the `but it'll take ages` moan, do you find that it always claims to have completed successfully immediately, rather than say `backup started` and then show you the progress (which could take ages if you have a bunch of video/photos which need uploading)? Because I do, and I didn't get this on previous phones. You can see that it works if you go to the Photo app, where you can see the progress, and each photo which needs uploading has a little cloud icon showing its status.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eNkrypt:
It seems that about 15 minutes ago my Fingerprint (and my fiance) are no longer recognized. It also would not take my backup password. The only way I could get into my phone was through the Android Device Manager and reset my password.

After resetting my password with ADM, I went to go change my fingerprint in my phone (because obviously it doesn't like the one stored in there now) and it asks me for my password (since my fingerprint no longer works) and this keeps saying it is incorrect.

I don't know what to do now other than factory reset my phone.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You're correct. Factory reset; unless...

I thought my original fingerprints were better recognized after flashing another ROM; broke the sensor and default fingerprint password. Not accustomed to internal memory, I wiped everything but external sdcard and tried to restore the nandroid; embarrassing to say, the nandroid was gone.

You might try restoring a nandroid. Don't know if that works but I'd like to know. I had to factory reset. Per Samsung, nothing to do but that. May be locked away in Knox for theft protection.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eNkrypt:
Thing is, I haven't even rooted my note 4 yet! I am waiting for a method that wont trip knox.

I don't understand why this could have happened on stock - Makes me worried I got a defective device.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
That's a mystery to me. There is also a change fingerprint password in that setup screen. If it rejects that too, factory reset is the only option I know of.

May need to exchange the phone. Keep that in mind if you're inside of 14 days of purchase agreement.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eNkrypt:
Yeah that doesn't work either.

I hope I can still exchange my device - It's been almost a month I bought this phone 10/17/2014 - Will they let me exchange the device?

I had this same problem. The only way I was able to get the finger print scanner working again was by doing a factory reset. I then restored all of my apps and settings with Titanium Backup. All is good now. It sucks setting everything back up, but factory reset works.

Hello everybody,

I have xposed framework installed on my rooted Note 4. I basically uninstalled xposed and my fingerprint scanner recognised me again. I then reinstalled xposed and it was still working.

If you're not rooted this won't work for you but can someone with a rooted phone try installing xposed framework and see if it fixes it for you?

Thanks!:good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snagix:
I have the same incidence after restoring a nandroid backup to downgrade from LOLLIPOP to KITKAT, I've tried installing Xposed Framework Without Sucess.

I was able to unlock the screen using the google account and afterwards removing the lock screen by fingerprint.

When I try to change the FingerPrint asks me for the password for securty account and doesn't work (in locked screen worked fine).

So I'm afraid I'll have to do a full restore if there's no any other way to reconfigure the fingerprint scanner
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
If that nandroid backup is NIE, you'll need to wipe and Odin NK2. If it's NK2, try just wiping all user data to fix the finger print scanner. Password is not recognized is the indication that suggests one of the two solutions.

Installing Xposed won't fix that but temporarily uninstalling and clearing various apps' user data has helped. Personally, I've seen that work on health services and s health. If you need Xposed, you'll need the secure storage module. Just search secure or secure storage in the Xposed download search engine.

Have similar issue after flashing a Tekxodus URV6.6 .. restoring data from a nandroid backup from Texodus URV6.5 which had all my apps installed.

I guess lesson learned is to make sure to disable the fingerprint security and wipe registered fingerprints before doing a Nandroid backup.

P.S.: for some reason the fingerprint backup password doesn't work

Thank you. I'll try it later .. I already wiped data and restored a Nand backup of the a clean Tekxodus URV6.6, luckily I have a full Titanium backup of everything (including call log, text messages ..etc.)

Btw, this Dual MicroSD reader is the best $10 i spent in my life :) it comes in handy once you pop a 64GB MicroSD in it, to use in TWRP for Nandroid backup, or to store a backup of Titanium Backups.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avaie:
Hello,

I have an Xperia Z1s (T-Mobile variant) and it is bricked. Bricked upon an update. Initially, there was a Sony initialisation, where it hung therein. It would respond with vibrate upon Power simultaneously with Vol+ input and sometimes with a blue LED. Currently, it does nothing. Is there an unbrick tool for the Z1s? I’ve tried all morning trying to figure this. The flashtool does not help. It cannot read the device. Windows recognises the device as Unknown. It does seem to recognise something being plugged in. I will appreciate some reference to how this might be undone. Pardon me if I am wrong: there is little support for the Z1s. I have tried searching for threads relating to this. Most are Z1 related.

Thanks for your time.

Is there any inherent advantage to Lollipop? 4.4.4 is not as stable as 4.3 that came pre-installed. The device runs slightly warmer and power-cycles rarely. The Messaging app does need some work.

not sure yet, only time will tell if it is better, but lolipop comes with a new runtime called art so apps should be a lot quicker

Hi Everyone,

I have just literally purchased a T-Mobile MDA Vario. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it will no doubt arrive full of T-MObile sh*t.

I have browsed the web and from what I can tell, it looks possible to install the Qtek 9100 ROM on this device if I want to?

Does anyone/everyone have any recommendations as to whether one ROM is better than the other?

I am looking for a simple, stable functional ROM, I don't want anything jazzy or customised by the operator (like my T-Mobile SDA II was!!!!)....

Thanks! :)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigLisy:
Under display settings, there's this "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" that confuses me. Looking for the explanation as for what it does, I found it supposedly plays with the screen brightness based on the on-screen image, but it's very vague. What's the point of having both this and auto brightness? How do they work together?

Setting it on and off shows absolutely no difference. Does it really save battery at all?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Doesnt really do much for me either. I think its for a better accurate brightness level when you turn on auto brightness. When you turn on auto brightness and the adjust screen tone I think that would mean that the auto brightness would adjust its brightness by the sensor next to the front camera and the auto adjust screen tone would adjust to the image being displayed makeing the brightness best for the envrioment your in(how much light is in your room). Lets say your in a dark room and your trying to veiw a dark image, so the screen would get brighter even if the sensor is saying "theres no light here" based on the screens image. Thats my guess and someone correct me if im wrong. Idk if it saves battery but I just adjust my screen brightness manually.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morpheus991:
It should actually be an attempt to match the color temperature of the screen to your environment. For example if you're outside it'll shift everything more blue (around 5,500 degrees kelvin) than if you're indoors with a "warm white" lamp lighting the room (closer to 3,200 kelvin). All this in an attempt to make colors appear more accurate wherever you are. It's safe to assume it uses the camera to read the colors of your environment, I'm pretty sure the light level sensor only measures luminance (brightness). Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
^^^ that's what you'd think from the name, but if you read the description it says adjust display brightness based on image on screen to save battery. So I think for example if you have a mostly white screen it'll reduce the brightness. If done right, you won't notice it because it'll still look plenty bright.

Has nothing to do with temperature. I wish there were a feature for that.

I'd try it for a while to see how it feels. Probably a good feature.
