[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isroisro:
Hello,

I usually sell my old phone when I get a new one and now one person who bought my phone told me something that made me feel very uncomfortable.

It seems that the phone I gave him still had my downloaded .pdf files on it.

When I sell a phone I always do a hard reset and I always checked for leftover photos (as I noticed that some photos are left behind), but I didn't realise downloaded documents would also be left on the phone.

When you reset your phone, it clearly says all your data will be erased (as you can see in this capture from my Z3)... And then it leaves private information on it such as photos and PDFs?!

I want to know if this is the general case -as in hard reset not deleting downloaded pdfs etc- for any android device or is it just the case for Oppo (the one I found it on)?

LE: I performed a hard reset on the Z3 -which has the disclaimer you see in the photo- and all the PDF files from downloads are still there. Unbelievable!

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weels98:
I thought it would be a fairly simple task. I am a novice on an unrooted s3 who just wants to change his ring tone to a song I downloaded to Google play. It's on my phone and it plays fine but when I go to add it to the ring tone file the song doesn't show up as an option. So I installed es explorer to see if it showed up in it which it didn't. So I'm wondering if it's because it's unrooted or is it because I didn't download it through es or is it a Google play issue. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] triber23:
Hey, this is my first thread, so apologies in advance if there is somewhere better I should post this. But anyways, I love my HDX, but I am getting pretty sick of Fire OS.

Now I noticed the stickied thread at the top, the warning of "You will brick this device", but I am confused. Is that referring to the newest (2014, fourth generation) HDX tablets, or the older years versions (2013, third generation), or both? I have the latter of the two and if it is that difficult to root than I can just deal with it, but if that only applies to this year's models, the newest ones, I'd love to give rooting this a try.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbattermann:
Good evening,

I got a Fire TC and successfully paired it with a MS Wedge Bluetooth Keyboard, but the Keyboard itself has a physical German Keyboard layout and apparently, even though having switched back and forth from and to English/German in the Fire TV's native Language settings, the input language always remained the wrong one.. well wrong for the Keyboard.

As I used the Settings.Apk for pairing in the first place I thought I could also use it to switch the system's input language, but it always crashes when selecing Input / Languages there.

Is there any other way to switch the underlying Android's Input language (from presumably en-US to de-DE)?

Cheers and thanks!

Anyone encountered camera flash stopped working suddenky in camera mode, flashlight app or other 3rd party app? I used to clear dalvik and cache n it was ok for awhile but now it totally stopped working. Will reflashing it and reformatting it bring back the flash? T705 user here btw.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
Well let's find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM, then wipe data, flash a new rom and see if it works. If it doesn't it's hardware issue.

[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Is there a file manager that can reside on the Gear S and perform the usual functions not requiring root?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
What are you trying to do? You can always connect the watch to your laptop and move files around using your file manager on your laptop
[Samsung Gear S] ozaghloul:
How can I tell how much memory is being used? I don't want to connect it to a computer (all mine are mac anyway).

Another reason to have one.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Is anyone thinking of working on it? How easy is it to do with the SDK?
[Samsung Gear S] nobnut:
There is a paid app called "FilesGear". It works very well.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
It is a file manager or is for transferring files between the Gear S and a pc?
[Samsung Gear S] nobnut:
No, it is a file manager for the Gear S. You access it from the watch and manage files on the watch.

I don't use anything between the watch and the PC. I transfer files from my phone to the watch and can then manage them on the watch (copy/delete/rename etc).

FilesGear

TransGear
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Thanks. I wonder if it is worth the cost for an unrooted phone?
[Samsung Gear S] nobnut:
You don't need a rooted phone.

One app enables you to send files to your watch from your phone. The other app lets you manage files on your watch.

No root needed.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I need to be cleared. Is this app worth the cost when the watch is unrooted and cannot affect the system files?
[Samsung Gear S] nobnut:
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Root or no root is irrelevant. It makes no difference.

The app costs less than a cup of coffee. Your Gear S and mobile device cost about 600 times the cost of the app.

Read the app descriptions and decide for yourself. Stop talking about not being rooted, it is about as relevant as asking if the app is worth the cost if you use a screen protector.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
There are now a few file mangers in the app store(Samsung gear app) paid apps for now
[Samsung Gear S] esseff:
Well said!

Why is this forum full of idiots? I thought XDA was for techie types, and anyone buying a device like the Gear S would be fairly intelegent. I'm constantly amazed how dumb Gear S owners seem to be.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
If most files can not be changed due to lack of root, then that diminishs the usefulness of an lspp. Add a cost and again it may not be worth it.
[Samsung Gear S] nobnut:
I give up. You clearly have no idea about files, permissions, root, file managers or much else.

ONEPLUS ONE BACK TO STOCK REFLASHING TOOL

As the title suggested this is a tool provided by OnePlus One that automates the process of returning your device to a completely stock configuration, including locking your bootloader.

This will completely wipe your device, including user data, you have been warned!

Please note: This is not my own work, this is a patch tool provided by OnePlus and designed to overcome various bugs by flashing the device back to stock. By using this tool you take full responsibility for your actions and any adverse outcome that may arise.

***64GB VERSION ONLY***

-Unzip the file into a directory of your choosing.

-Power off your phone.

-Put it into fastboot mode (hold volume up + power)

-Connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.

-Navigate to the directory where you unzipped the downloaded file and run ONEPLUS ONE - 0.bat

@echo off
fastboot devices

pause

-You should see a screen like this:

(If you do not see your device serial number within the command prompt window you need to install your drivers correctly. Drivers are contained in the zip for your convenience.)

-Now you can run ONEPLUS ONE - 1.bat

@echo off
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5

(The device might reboot after this step has completed, if it does reboot you need to put the phone back into fastboot mode before continuing to the next step.)

[ONE General] hrishi21007:
This requires a Unlocked Bootloader if im not mistaken right???

No it doesn't. Part of the script unlocks the bootloader before flashing the partitions, and once it's done it locks the bootloader again.

From what I can tell there's no tool to restore the tampered flag, but it does relock your bootloader.

Timmaaa,

I've seen some place a script which does restore the flags, don't recall OP or G3. You are probably well aware of it, never the less.

I've looked for days for the method to 'unzip' dlpkgfiles... nada. Are you aware of a method to unzip via a Mac? Windows would be the second choice.

Thank you.

Exactly what do you want to unzip? Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're getting at.

[ONE General] Crinkypops:
I was reading the readme for the file. After I run the One Plus One - 1.bat, the phone boots to recovery which I then boot back into fastboot mode which then closes the bat file quickly. I saw from the readme that a reboot must not happen or step 3 cannot be done. I did step 3 anyway and it is telling me that device is locked. What should I do?

ALSO I have all the drivers installed. And step 0.bat shows my serial number.
[ONE General] Crinkypops:
Anyone? I know for a fact that my phone has an unlocked bootloader because how would I have been able to root it in the first place if I did not have it unlocked... but why is it saying that my bootloader is locked?
[ONE General] aboicu:
This tool can be also used for 16 gb version of OPO?
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
It doesn't say that a reboot most not happen, it says that if a reboot does happen your just need to put it back into fastboot mode before continuing.

Issue this fastboot command:

fastboot oem device-info

Please post the result.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
No, this is only for the 64gb international version.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE General] aboicu:
Thank you. Anyway, there are other ways to return to stock. Maybe is better to make visible in the thread title that is only for 64GB version to avoid confusion and mistakes

Yes, I've included a line in the OP that states this is only for the 64gb version.

[ONE General] Crinkypops:
Ok so after 5 hours (literally) of grieving that I almost lost my baby, I searched and searched. So what happened was for some reason my bootloader was locked as you can see from the screenshot when I was on fastboot. And so I tried using the toolkit on XDA (not this one, the other OnePlus One Toolkit that XDA made a vid about) and tried unlocking bootloader there. Same thing was happening... My phone would just reboot to recovery. Tried to reboot to my ROM to see if it is working, it was... it booted, but everything was borked (Data, Wi-Fi, lost my IMEI and baseband). At this point, adrenaline kicked in and then I searched for hours on end.

Found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912

This is to unlock bootloader without using fastboot, but rather TWRP. What ended up happening was that PC could not detect phone when it is on, so I had to ADB transfer using TWRP (not sideload). Transferred the zip file and flashed.

At this point, I went to fastboot and checked if I had an unlocked bootloader just to be sure (fastboot oem devices-info). And there it was. Bootloader unlocked.

I then used the "Guide to Return to Stock 44S" thread on here using fastboot... and guess what that failed too. Apparently there was no boot.img on the zip file I had downloaded and it did not return my phone to stock as it was trying to boot to my old ROM (Calkulin 2.1).

In a desperation move, I went back to the tool provided by OnePlus found on this thread and did all the steps... Needless to say: I am now running 38R and updating to 44S OTA.

TL;DR:

Check bootloader, if locked, use this: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912

and then use the toolkit provided by OnePlus.

I honestly don't know what to do without XDA. :)
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
There's no need to use the other toolkit, once your bootloader is unlocked you could have just used this tool.

I would be careful with reserve and persistent. I swear those caused my brick issue.

Only thing I did different then my normal fast boot flash stock routine
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
It seems they become corrupt, so simply flashing over the top doesn't quite cut it. This is relatively rare, but this was developed as a fix for many different situations, so it will do things that may not be necessary for your exact situation.

Well basically I saw this thread and wanted to return completely stock.

I have before of course and usually flash through fastboot, I just unzip the factory image and flash system boot and modem images.

I saw in this thread about flashing persistent.IMG and reserve4.IMG I figured I would try it.

I did everything step by step and erased persistent and reserve like the bat file does, only thing I didn't flash was the userdata image.

Then instead of flashing twrp I booting into it via fastboot just so I could flash SuperSU.

Then rebooted my phone and it never turned on again. Would just vibrate. Anyways I followed the thread about a bricked device and got my phone back.

I have flashed through fastboot tons, even built cm12 so I am not new to it. And only thing I did different which lead to a bricked device was flashed persistent and reserve image.

I've read that Cm made it impossible to boot a recovery in stead of flashing it

It's handy if you have TWRP installed but want to use CWM
[ONE General] waterdaan:
I'm wondering if it also works if you've got stock recovery installed in stead of TWRP. To much of a hassle for me to try right now, might try it later

Idk if this has been asked or not,

But i am on OxyOS and if i use this toolkit directly on top of it, then will it work properly , as there are people saying that directly flashing the stock rom over oxyos will brick your device.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
I haven't tested it myself, so I can't confirm the results. I don't see why it would brick though.
[ONE General] udimars30:
well there are people saying if you go back to stock from oxyos it will brick.

and some even have bricked.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
My honest reaction to that is this: user error. Too many people have no idea what they're doing, or how a process works, they screw up themselves and then blame something else.
[ONE General] udimars30:
you are right as there is nothing diff. in this oxyos as it's also just a rom, so why should it be bricked while going back to stock.
