An unlocked bootloader lets you flash unsupported firmware; e.g., another bootloader, custom kernel, recovery or ROM. Don't worry about updating, but expect to have to reflash recovery and re-root the device after pulling down an OTA.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
ok ive rooted my gs5 and ive also have wanam exposed on my device and I was told I could remove that custom unlocked padlock on the boot screen with wanam but I have looked through all the options in the wanam app and I don't see this option anywhere so could somebody please help me out and tell me how to make this custom padlock on boot screen to be gone. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagrave:
Open up Wanam and go to security hacks. In there it will have an option for "fake system status"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
it nt look like im gonna be using wanam exposed cause its not letting my s health work and ive tried the fix and still wont work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagrave:
Sorry man. I don't really use xposed a lot or s-health, so idk if there is another fix or not for that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
You could give the xsecurestorage module a shot, you should be able to get shealth to work with xposed. Thr fix i know should be just disable secure storage, clear davlik cache and cache in recovery, then clear data of the s health app and reboot once more and it should work. Otherwise i dont know, there are quite a few threads on both disabling the padlock and getting xposed to play nice with shealth, just search around, supposedly triangleaway will remove the padlock i wouldnt count on it though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
I did the s health fix changing the securewstorage=true to false and reboot then reinstall exposed and nada s health wont even open I get that lil white window that pops up sayin s health has closed, so is there any other ways of getting this damn custom lock off my boot screen?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
I thibk you misssed the part where you clear data and cache of shealth and all that, from what ive read turning off secure storage is not enough to get it working. Sit tight and i'll edit this post with some clearer instructions.

Edit:

Start by making for sure you have the xposed framework uninstalled, dont just uninstall the xposed installer app, you need to actually go in to the app and uninstall the framework, you should be able to keep the installer app installed though.

Next with a root enabled file explorer and open your build.prop file and just double check you have ro.securestorage.support set to false.

Now go in to the app info for s health, uninstall the updates, and clear the data and repeat for healthservice, then reboot in to stock recovery or safestrap and clear the cache and davlik cache.

Boot up and install xposed then for good measure reboot into recovery again, and clear the cache and davlik cache again, boot up and s health should work.

Past that i cant really help, this is all compiled from suggestions ive read, so im not sure how well all of it works due to the fact i dont even have s health installed, but good luck, hope you get it working.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
no I did that to cleared the data and cach for s health in the all applications, I did everything in order and s health wont work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
Thanks I appreciate you helpin me out, that only part I hadn't done in the past was boot into safestrap and clear cache and delvic cache, I thought it said to just go into the app info and clear cache and data there, but I guess after I get done doing a backup and saving the backup to my pc i'll give it another try with your instructions. thanks for taken the time out to help me bro.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Just for refrence, thought id note safestrap recovery is not required to clear the cache and davlik cache, it works fine if done from stock recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
well thank you I just went through the steps you gave me and I finaly have wanam exposed installed and s health is working fine, only problem is I installed wanam so I could make the custom padlock on the boot screen be gone and I did what this other guy told me to do and it didn't work its still there

EDIT

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY it did work and it took away the custom Unlocked Padlock damn im so happy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
You can check a couple things, check the module list and see if theres a check next to wanam indicating its enabled, if its not then enable it and reboot. If you have an sd card then long press on wanam in the module list or in yout launcher and go to its app info and see if its on the sd card, there should be a button that says either "move to sd card" or "move to device storage" if its the latter its on your sd card and that tends to mess things up, so move it to your phone's storage and then reboot, go to the module list and disable then reenable wanam then reboot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivarnelson:
Hello!

I own the LG G3 (d855) and before i was rooted using stump root, had unlocked the bootloader and had installed TWRP recovery. A few weeks back i got the 5.0 update and i was so exited to get lollipop so i forgot about losing root when i updated, so i lost my root. Is there any way I can root the g3 on 5.0 yet? I've already tried Stump root, Towelroot and Purpledrake.

Thx in advance! :)
[HTC One X] blazerempty:
Hello everyone.

Friend of mine had a hox with stock rom. He got strange reboots on low battery(known issue). Thats why he wanted to install a custom rom. Unlocking bootloader was successful and then he stuck. He was able to boot to bootloader etc. But somehow after unlocking the device was in htc bootloop. As far as I know, he brought this device to me after this fail, as i got more experience with hox.

So.. after spending half of the day with that device(I was trying to turn it on into bootloader) this is what i got:

Device is not reacting on any of my actions, f.e:

Volume Down + Power

Volume Up + Power

Volupe Up + Down + Power (holding about 3 mins)

The red LED is not turning on or blinking after connecting the cable. Tried to connect the device to notebook, another notebook, wall charger and car charger :D.

Seems like device is dead :rolleyes:

So, my question is: Is it possible to boot this device in bootloader? Thank you in advance for helpful posts.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
I can finally sign a new contract and my old m7 is about to die (it doesn't really charge anymore). Point is I need a new phone now and I can't wait for the m9 (also will be too pricy) and my carrier doesn't offer Motorola or Nexus Devices. Crappy Samsung is out so the only alternative would be xperia z3 which is a couple of month older. I liked the m7 and I am a general fan of HTC but is it still a better choice then the Sony one?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobmannh:
I think most people here are happy with the phone. Is LG not an option? Not necessarily better but they also make a good phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Such a loaded question. I typically wouldn't advise buying a current flagship which will probably be replaced by a new flagship in the next few months (some rumors claim Q1, or even a launch next week). But given your current phone's condition, and budget limitations, I'd still say the M8 is still probably the best phone around.

When it comes down to brass tacks, if I broke my phone today and had to buy a new replacement phone immediately, it would likely be another M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
Nahh i don't want any plastic phone. The choice really seems to be between m8 and z3.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
I would just pick up a used M8 for the time being, and wait for M9 before signing another contract for hardware upgrade.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fguerra024:
Agreed.

The M8 is still a great phone - one of the best (if not THE best) front facing speakers, prompt and solid updates thanks to their being a GPE version (Sense updates come relatively quick as well - they are one of the best with pushing updates) and fantastic build quality... Also the following/support on XDA for the M8 is fantastic. There are some great developers working with this device. If rooting and customizing your phone is up your ally, the M8 is one of the best out there.

Lollipop on the GPE edition is great, you won't get a fast stable lollipop release from any other phone unless it is a nexus and other GPE phones. Touchwiz and LG's skins just slow things down and can actually cause issues (Google "chromecast systemui crash" and you will see that stock unrooted samsung and LG phones tend to have issues casting media within certain apps due to the way they code their volume sliders. There is an Xposed patch to get around this. Still lame that is something that occurs with their stock devices when trying to use a Chromecast.) . If you have a regular Sense One m8, the GPE conversion is pretty damn easy if you want more a stock android feel along with quick updates.

VS Sony Xperia Z3 --> Sony has the better specs (more ram, better camera, water proof) BUT OS updates tend to be slower - Still no stock or stable Lollipop available for that device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
I ordered the M8 in gunmetal gray. I don't think I will regret it, this phone will still be up to date for long enough.

[Xperia Z2 General] victormartins:
Hi guys,

I have an D6543 (Brazilian Model), there is no difference between D6503.

I checked the Qualcomm website a lot of times, and Z2 is in compatibility list: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/devices/all?feature=Quick Charge 2.0

So, I purchase the Tenergy Quick Charger 2.0 at Amazon, and for my surprise, it's not working at all. Only normal charging.

I tested at 1%, and in 30 minutes only 11% was charged, VERY, VERY slow.

The light indication at charger is saying that is on normal charging.

I'm really frustrated.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Fastcharging is disabled on xperias for safety

Charging should be between 1-5 hours even without fastcharge
[Xperia Z2 General] yuskhayru:
My z2 only take around 2 hours to fully charge from 1%. Just using the stock plug charger.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I dont think fastcharge is at all posible with the Z2

It charges at 1500mAh using the factory provided charger and trying to go beyond that isnt safe at all.
[Xperia Z2 General] yuskhayru:
i dont know about it, but ive charged my z2 several times from 1% to 100% only take 2 hours - 2 hours and 30 minute. And yes, i've heard people charged thier z2 atleast 4hours to completly fully charged from 1%. My phone is still standard, under warranty(havent mod anything yet and still unrooted).
[Xperia Z2 General] victormartins:
I don't know why. Z2 has the Snapdragon 801, which is compatible with Quick Charger 2.0, as Z1 was compatible with QC 1.0.

LG G3 also has the 801, but LG does not enable the QC, that's why it is not at Qualcomm's website. It's weird, because Z2 was recently added to the list, and the main product page says it's compatible.

In the end, I just lost money because their poor support and information.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
As said its pointless trying to increase the charging rate

I learned when pushing it past 1500mAh it starts to damage the device usb port and

battery

Not exactly poor support, if its safe to use and certified safe to use sony would have put it in the features list on their website but it wasnt there when i bought the phone nor when i last checked.

As said check my reply

The device charges at as fast as it safely can with the factory provided charger
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I'm using envi rom.

I have a normal 2,2A usb charger.

When I use the usb port to charge i have really slow (6h from 0 to full charge) to reasonable charge time (3h from 0 to 100) depending on the used cable.

But when I use the magnetic aftermarket cable than I get insane charge time, only the last 10% from 90 to 100 is not fast but it certainly uses 2A as it is from 0 to 90% in about 90 minutes.

The phone gets slightly warm but far from the temperature it gets with intensive usage and the magnetic connection gets warm too, but nothing alarming imo.

The full metal and glass design makes heat diffuse very fast.

Xperia Z2 and Z3 supports Quick Charge 2.0.

You need charger which supports Quick Charge 2.0, though.

http://weekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/000/223/223383/

This site is in Japanese, but it says you'll get 13W when you charge with charger which supports Quick Charge 2.0 and with normal charger you'll get 10W.

Normal charging is already fast enough, so you won't notice big difference.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Either they know nothing about electronics or they cannot calculate ^^

1. it should show 9W..... 1.8A x 5V so their meassurement device is not exact (hell, these Wallplug meassurement things are made for 220V ! so you measure 0.045A you can't expect them to be realistic, they're for up to 2000W not so low values.)

2. 9V x 1.8A = 16.2W but this is wrong again as the Quick CHarge 2.0 speccs are up to 4.5A for 9V

So if it really is charching with 9V it only uses 1.44A

Oh... and btw the Stock Sony Wall charger EP880 only has 5V 1.5A

Let's hope some people who know what they're doing are gonna test the Z2 or other phones with Quick Charge 2.0

Doesn't seem like it's working ^^ if you compair to stock charger.
[Xperia Z2 General] sam_conrad:
I'm unsure about the battery but this is why QC 2.0 utilizes a higher charge voltage. Also why in computers, all high current devices now run on the 12v rail instead of 3.3v or 5v, because high amperage at low voltage would damage cables and connectors. If we had expensive graphics cards pulling 400w at 3.3v there would be a huge problem with heat and necessary wire size. There is more resistance in metals with high current / low voltage vs. high voltage / low current and this is what can damage the USB port.

This is also why at 120v AC we have issues running high current draw appliances vs 220-240v circuits.

Also why high voltage is more fatal, because it travels more easily through our skin, and etc.
[Xperia Z2 General] victormartins:
I contacted Qualcomm by email, and they replied to me after a few days.

Xperia Z2 officialy does not support Quick Charger 2.0, only in JAPANESE models.

They updated their website, and removed the information, that's sad.

FYI guys, Sony Brazil sells Z2 and Z3 with Smartband, so, our OEM charger has only 0.8A :crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z2 General] osbertc0ol:
Just purchase some charger with 5V 2A output and you will be fine..

And i tried using OnePlus charger 5V 2A and it is noticeably faster :D
[Xperia Z2 General] mr.loverlover:
I've already compared it with a normal 1.5A and it;s charging faster and the device also gets warmer.

Hello,

quick question: is it safe to charge our Z2's by S5 charger - 5,3V and 2,1A?
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
i dont get this. If the stock charger is 1500mA and the batery is 3200mA it should take only 2h10 to fully charge(more or less). But mine takes like 3h (brand new phone, charger and cable, all stock)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
quickcharging is disabled by sony for safety reasons.

yes its 1500ma with a 3200ma battery but concider the cpu. your phone is awake for 25% of the screen being off so it should take a over 2hrs10m to charge unless you have xposed amplify installed.
[Xperia Z2 General] IreshS:
And also the energy wastage as heat during charging. Nothing is 100% efficient.
[Xperia Z2 General] Don MC:
And it doesn't charge at 1500mA all the time. 1500mA is just the max. Much of the time, charging will be done at lower currents.
[Xperia Z2 General] Amritttt:
wtf i was about to order quick charger 2.0.
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
I dont understand what you mean by that. The phone when idling consumes like 2% or less in two or three hours so it would have no impact unless i was using the phone(usually when charging i dont use the phone)

Of course, but i dont believe much is lost through heat. maybe 10%?or maybe even less?

So its completely random?my LG G2 had a 1.8mA charger and charged the battery (3000mA) in less than two hours so...usually charged 1% every minute. Using the same plug. So in more or less two hours it would charge 3600mA if it was 100% efficient. Take energy lost through heat and other stuff and it does 3000mA in two hours. The Z2 is way worse, it takes way too long to charge=/
[Xperia Z2 General] TheFerhatKing:
+1 I know this too from the G2, it charged everytime with 1.8A, with the stock Sony charger it charges for me around 700-950 ma on the Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
So. . . is it safe or not?
[Xperia Z2 General] juanmaasecas:
How do you know the actual charging intensity?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Its safe but makes absolutely no difference on how fast your device charges

Now forcing it to charge faster is unsafe (eg modding stuff)
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
with a watt measurer. I had one but cant find it, i wanted to check out the charging intensity for my z2 charger..
[Xperia Z2 General] juanmaasecas:
Thanks, so you use the hardware way.

I wonder if there is any app that gives you that data without connecting external hardware. I used one app some time ago with my Note 3, but I think it wasn't the actual current charge but the nominal charge (it just changed between 2 values wether you connected to USB or AC).
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Do i start to look narcistic because i'm only quoting myself?

Most Samsung devices have special sensor for that, therefor most apps only work for Samsung.

Hey there guys!

I bought a Unbranded Android Car Steoreo Head Unit and it went pretty good in the first place.

After i installed spotify and downloaded music, once the Wifi wasn't availiable anymore, spotify told me that the USB-Storage is no more there (but it is).

I thought a upgrade would solve this so i googled and found this Thread:

"AN-21 U" - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN Pure Android 4.1 Car Stereo Radio Head Unit

As my Radio says its also a AN-21 U i thought it will work.

This is my Radio by the way:

View attachment 3099707

So after updating the MCU it lags a little bit and the volume-knob and the +/- knob is changed with each other and not responding proper either.

I also tried to update the System but activating this just boots up the device saying update start and update end at the same time, not taking any affects.

Software System Reset is not solving this, and im not abled to enter the boot menu (By pressing power on + vol up butten (i tried both knobs after MCU update)).

Do you have any idea for what i could do? I would really appreciate your help because im not able to solve it myself.

Thanks!

PS. Sorry if this is the wrong area

Although you have warranty, seems it would be hard to get it a service center to repair it without a cost to it. Best bet take it to a Samsung service center and try your luck(they will charge you more than likely). Seems the device is too damaged for normal operational use.
