[Lenovo A850] KlaSelinHo:
Ok, let me explain my problem, so my Lenovo A850, will not install any rom, rom will successfully flash, but phone is on bootloop, I have successfully installed a rom called Vibe Rom before, I did not think of installing a new rom for a few months, then I found this cool rom called Xperia Honami Rom on needrom.com, so I downloaded it, placed in sdcard, so went into CWM Recovery, flashed, wont work, bootloop, restored backup, so I thought, maybe CWM doesnt work anymore, so I tried TWRP, but because I was so excited, I forgot to backup my rom, so I wiped system wiped everything else, flashed the rom, still bootloop!!! I dont know how to fix this!!! I found a solution on the web, but I dont know how to get the scatter_file.txt for Lenovo A850!!! If someone has the scatter_file.txt for Lenovo A850 please provide link in the comments, I really love this phone and I want to get it unbricked.

Oh if this will help

Phone can boot up, to recovery, to fastboot (mine is not unlocked)

Its just that is stuck on boot logo.
[Lenovo A850] LGI.Corp:
Hope this helps.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
You need to flash a new rom with the flash tool (not from the recovery). Most links online pointing to flashable roms through flash tool will include the scatter file. Else, use LGI.Corp's file...

Good luck :)
[Lenovo A850] RASTAS12:
My A850 also stuck at the logo

Good day all. I am not sure if i need to post a new threat however my Lenovo A850 (CHINA model) is also soft bricked. When switched on it will go to the Lenovo Logo and that is all it will do. When I try to run the recovery the phone will only try to update via SD card and will not actually run the recovery. I have tried to flash various ROMS with the SP Flash tool. The load happens every time successfully however when rebooted the phone remains exactly the same. I have also learned to create an update.zip file and tried loading via the phones own update procedure however the status bar does not complete.

I have found the latest (I believe) Mediatek SP Flash Tool (V5.1408.00.100) and run the EMMC test which fails with 'ERROR: NAND Flash was not detected!'.

Is it possible that the phone storage is damaged or locked?

Any help would be most appreciated.
[Lenovo A850] RASTAS12:
Sorry I know everyone is hectic busy but anyone have any suggestions?
[Lenovo A850] KlaSelinHo:
Thanks to LGl.Corp and GreatApo, I got my phone fixed! Thanks!!!

Sorry this reply was a little bit late though
[Lenovo A850] LGI.Corp:
Hi RASTA12,

I would suggest you re-flash with ROM Lenovo A850i

Download Lenovo A850i.rar in needrom.com

Download SP FLash tool v5.1408.00

Good luck.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusdi:
Hello people I was on 4.3 on my S3 and wanted to unlock it and I was told to downgrade it to 4.1 which I did . I got the firmware of SamMobile . I done it through ODIN now my S3 has a 0049 imei.

I've looked everywhere and I can't find a solid solution to this problem thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Flash 4.3 again then factory reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusdi:
I've done that I still have the 0049 imei
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
In that case take it to a repair centre and get them to recode it for you, there is no other way.

Make sure it work on 4.3 before you pay them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
so I bought a 3rd party (read: fake) battery door for the regular battery on my s4. before applying it, I got LTE at my dad's area nearly all the time but the ERI label says "Extended Network" and service has been hindered. is there an explanation for why the battery cover potentially affected cell service? is that even the cause?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I don't see why it would affect the signal, unless it was made out of some weird material. I know my old Droid X2 actually used the battery cover as the antenna. But I'm almost certain the antenna for the S4 is contained inside the phones body.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
tbh the plastic is somewhat different.. idk. thanks for the reply though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
this behavior has been tested on an AT&T s4 and the behavior has been reproduced. the fake cover seems to be slightly wider and thicker than an OEM one.

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbhoy1916:
Hi all , I have just bought a mi3 from china its 100% real , ive done all the checks cpuz , antutu , etc ...

It's the 2nd mi3 ive bought , the first came with the multi language rom v5 installed and had the update installer app removed .

So this time I asked the seller if he could leave the updater app on it and just install Google play ..

He did that and all was good until u received a notification of a available update .

So I updated ota but when the phone rebooted some of my Google apps where missing and Google play kept crashing ?

Also the keypad was missing altogether no matter what app I opened ..

Basically now the phone is all over the phone place [emoji20] can someone run me through what to do as I'm very new to flashing and roms etc .

Thank you ..
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4tch:
1. download the last multilang rom from xiaomi.eu

2. rename it to update.zip, and put it in the root folder of your sd card. make sure the file name is not update.zip.zip; update will fail with the double file extension.

3. restart the phone in recovery mode (long press power on & vol+ buttons)

4. wipe user data (do NOT use wipe all data as it will wipe also the sd card, so you'll lose your rom file, too)

5. flash the rom ("Install update.zip to System ONE")

6. restart the phone
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbhoy1916:
Thanks for the reply pal , but I took a chance last night and put the phone into recovery .

I wiped cache and user data and rebooted to system one and now it looks like the phone is as it was when it arrived (I think [emoji51] )..

My question to you now is why did my mi3 get all messed up in the first place when I pushed the ota miui update on updater app ?

Did I do something wrong ?

im afraid now to update now addthe phone is giving me notifications of an available update , the same one that messed it up first time round .

Thanks again for the reply , it's greatly appreciated [emoji106] p.s : the current version on my phone is v6.1.2.0.kxdcnbj

4.4.4 ktu84p
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4tch:
that's not the latest stable rom, so it's normal that it will look for updates.

the multilang roms are based on the chinese roms. the modders basically remove the chinese stuff and add the google apps, european language files. but it's still a chinese rom, even if it's a modified one. so the ota updates of the chinese rom might also show in the updater app. solution: don't download the ota updates, always install the full multilang rom.

btw which language do you use? my guess is that based on your nick you're most probably irish, so all you need is english. the thing is that you may have an original chinese rom with google apps installed, and the update might just easily mess with it. just do a google search for "miui google installer", download and install the apk, that will fix all google stuff.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbhoy1916:
So basically I can't update ota update on the stable rom from the updater app?

I need to install the latest multi language rom but would I be right in thinking that once a multi language rom is installed then the updater app is removed and I will have to manually install future multi rom updates.?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4tch:
ota updates are only ensured for the original chinese rom, either stable or developer. both only have chinese and english languages installed, and both come without google apps. you may have to reinstall the google package after every update. that's just my guess, I haven't used the original rom as a daily driver: multilang roms are more convenient for a european user with all the languages and gapps installed.

the recent developer rom on xiaomi.eu still has the installer app. however ota updates are not always enabled. the workaround is simple: you download the complete rom file, and you install it either via the updater or via recovery.

[Moto 360] xbiggyl:
As the title suggests, when I ask google now to "show me a picture off..." anything on my moto360 I get a set of blank grey images instead of the pictures.

It was working perfectly before.

I have google search api installed. I don't know it started happening after I installed it.

I tried disabling GS api from xposed, but I'm still getting the grey images. And besides,I searched aroun and I didn't find any complaints of similar problems with anyone using GS api.

Any thoughts on this?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Latiosman:
Hi

I am researching about this tablet (galaxy tab s 10.5). What problems have you experienced? or what big common problems the community has with it?

From now I know:

1. lag (a lot of people, with some apps)

2. battery (just a few)

anything else? how about the memory issues or any other thing?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] myd.:
Indeed lag in chrome. And also that some apps or games may not work due to the 2k screen resolution ( not a lot)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tkkg1994:
If you are rooted, look at my stock rom, almost all lags are gone:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
1. Lag in apps like chrome (only some).

2. Aura screen defect ( when screens have greenish color on black image.)

3. Bump in on back cover(seems to be fixed on new models)

4. Overheating near camera( when playing large apps).

5. SD read and write problems(kitkat issues. Can be fixed by rooting)

6. Touchwiz launcher lag. ( can be fixed by debloating and installing nova launcher)

7. Latest twrp recovery bootloop. ( crashes and bootloops when restoring rom . Version 8.3.1.0 or some sort.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mr_mitch:
System UI crashes when casting to chromecast
[Galaxy Tab S General] Latiosman:
I didnt knew at all about the Aura screen defect. I read the opposit, that everything about the screen is really good and black is really black
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Some batches of tablets had messed up amoled screens. If it doesn't show complete black on a black image then that's how you know. Only happens to a few numbers of amoled tablets/phones.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Itchiee:
This was fixed in newer firmware.

The only issue is typical Samsung running too much software all the time and just needs to be tweaked accordingly.
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
I bought two and they both have the non uniformity problem. Either I'm unlucky or it's more than a few.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bloodrain954:
the lag in chrome is due to java script. Disable it, lag is gone.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mr_mitch:
Unfortunaately this update doesnt seem to have been released in the UK yet.

I check for updates every single day. But nothing.

Even the samMobile website does not show a UK version of the latest firmware.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Latiosman:
and how you can check fastly about the non uniformity problem with black??

I mean, if you go to a shop, how you can check it easyly before buying? just take a pic in black and watch it?

or there is any other way to check it maybe with the serial number or something? so you can buy on the internet
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Taking a picture in full black can do it and see if there are any other colors that is not black. I got mine from Walmart online and no problems so far. If you buy it in store from bestbuy, you should open the box and check first.
[Galaxy Tab S General] LoVeRice:
Not sure if wallpaper bug is also present in 10.5
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Yeah that depends on the launcher you use. I use go launcher and do not have this issue when putting it in portrait. Only touchwiz launcher and a few more do?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Andrewtst:
Open anything is black or dark grey and ask the shop that have store room, close all light and check inside.
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
^^^ it'll not show on black because all the pixels just turn off. You need a dark gray screen.

I don't see how you can check it in the store. Looking at the demo unit will tell you nothing definitively. Also, I don't think it's reasonable to ask a department store to turn off the lights for you :) You just have to find a store with decent return policy.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
which firmware my 10.5lte still crashes when i pull down the notification panel?
[Galaxy Tab S General] BigLisy:
I have none of those problems, like lag in Chrome (my Chrome is the snappiest of browsers, so smooth) or battery (battery is just damn amazing, 12h SoT watching videos).

But, my bluetooth stopped working randomly. Like, it won't ever turn on again, not even in safe mode. The icon becomes dark green for a couple seconds, then it gets grayed again.

I saw someone else with the same tablet having the same issue, but that's about it, no one else.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
My one big gripe, and this really is more about Android than the S 10.5, is that there isn't ONE definitive web browser that does it ALL. It also seems that when I DO find a decent browser it's not very long before someone changes their forum software or the web page coding and then it just won't work as well or at all. I have actually given up trying to post on some forums with any Android web browser. They all now seem to have one problem or another with forum editors used for posting. Maybe, somehow Lollipop will fix this. Kinda doubt it though.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
I can confirm with 90% certainty that the Chrome lag is probably just due to a problem within Chrome itself. I can show you a page or maybe two on kinja blogs that will freeze Chrome forever (not just lag it). Solution: switch to Firefox IMHO.
[Firefox OS General] elkedra:
I've managed to install Firefox OS (V1.0) on my ZTE Pulse (ZTE T790, locked to Telstra).

I used Cydia Impactor to root my phone, then adb and fastboot to unlock the bootloader and install a CWM recovery.

I was looking for an Android Rom to flash but only found roms for the V790 (similar phone, dual SIM). One or two worked but none could see the SIM card.

While looking around I found a couple of zip files for Firefox OS. The first one booted but touch didn't work. The second zip booted and runs well.

Everything seems to work except for the 4 soft buttons; two work but with the wrong function and two don't do anything. Bluetooth doesn't see other devices although other devices can see the phone. Some screen flicker in some apps.

I haven't been able to update the OS. Most update zips won't install using recovery; I'm still playing with them using adb.

Here is the download link for the FirefoxOS I used.

I should mention that installing this ROM via SD card changes your recovery to CWM V6.0.3.6

Update: Bluetooth works
[Firefox OS General] phillipdi:
Thanks, where did you find it?

Thanks allot mate! How long ago did you manage to do this? I have been looking for a rom for a while now but not gone as far as editing a ZTE V790 to fit the T790.

Please let me know the download link of the Firefox OS that worked (with some bugs)

and if you manage to work the bugs out please keep us posted!

Btw this capcha is killing me, maybe, maybe I am not Human?
[Firefox OS General] elkedra:
I didn't have to edit anything...it just worked. I'm not a developer, just a fiddler. :D

I've put the download link in the first post.
[Firefox OS General] phillipdi:
Thanks allot mate, but

Thanks allot mate, just to clarify you are saying that you managed to make phone calls from your device?

When you flashed the phone was it locked or unlocked?

I cannot get reception/sim registration on my T790 that I flashed with the rom you found and one annother person found, It could be me but I thought I better check
[Firefox OS General] elkedra:
Phone was locked to Telstra when I started. I assume it was still locked after rooting although where I live only has Telstra so I couldn't get a different SIM to check. The Telstra SIM worked fine for calls and data.
[Firefox OS General] Mabboseg:
Can you tell us as to which version of CWM did you initially install in your Zte pulse Testra T790 and in some steps as to how did you successfully did it????? I just want to install CWM in my ZTE Pusle T790.

THanx
[Firefox OS General] elkedra:
Sorry, can't remember which CWM recovery I used initially. (I've since bricked that phone.) There are recovery files with instructions here https://ztev790support.wordpress.com/instructions/instructions-for-flashing-recovery/and here http://v790.blogspot.com.au/. These recovery files are for the V790 but they worked fine on my T790.

As in the first post use Cydia Impactor to root the phone, then adb and fastboot to unlock the bootloader.
