I am looking for a way to protect my sensitive information in a case of "I don't want this person in my phone but if I don't give them my password I'm in deep _______" Let's say I had this set up, and my password for my encrypted (Samsung Galaxy S III Rooted Default Android 4.1) was kitten141, I typed that in and everything worked like a regular encrypted device, now is there a way I could enter "puppy314" in my password to cause the device to (Stop functioning til unlocked by my PC (USB) ) ? Or possibly Wipe/Erase the device.

Edit: Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile's SGH-T999L) Stock Android 4.1.2 with SuperSU Installed as my Root Manager.

I would prefer to keep my phone in its current Rooted state and (If I can) I would also Love to update to a newer version of android, and keep my stuff. I like my Apps, Like Orbot (Android Tor) and don't want to do all these settings over again! Thanks for any help anyone gives me.

I decided to flash my S3 I9300 to REVOLUTIONARY ROM then flash it back to STOCK ICS ROM because I needed to test something. But when I boot my phone there is no signal anymore. What should I do? I've seen so many tips but those were mostly for JB roms. Mine is ICS. Please help.

Flash a stock firmware using Odin and factory reset. The firmware must be EMG4 or later, flashing an earlier one as you've done will result in the efs folder being unreadable.

When the links were first published for 5.1, I flashed and installed the update through fast-boot and I am currently on 5.1 successfully. I have a t-mobile sim and I purchased this device from them. Today, they are pushing the 5.1 update which is the same as what I already have, but in addition, they are adding VolLTE. Now Im not sure if I already have that due to previously flashing it, or am I supposed to re-flash the T-Mobile variant of 5.1. Anyone have any input?

Never-mind, I looked around and apparently the build number for the nexus 6 t mobile carrier is different (LMY47M). And Yes, its LTE. So i guess I just have to wait till the new factory images are posted to Google and then eventually side-load the update.

Been using flintman's Evervolv 5.0.1 with 3.4 kernel (3/11 nightly) for about couple of weeks without any issues. Runs kodi 14.1, some flash, html5, etc fine. Don't expect camera to be as good as it was in webos. It works, but resolution isn't impressive; hasn't been since cm9.

Install is straight forward using touchpad toolbox. Read, Resize, flash. I remove anything I don't need with Rom Toolbox. That includes Google search and launcher, live wallpapers, face unlock, talk back, tts, etc. Doing so makes it a lot more stable for me.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theechap:
I would say to install something a little more stable than a lollipop (5.0) build. The KitKat builds (4.4) are far more stable and complete so you won't have to do as much troubleshooting and reflashing all the time to fix stuff. I personally run the latest JC Sullins build from January and the performance is far better than what I've gotten from the lollipop builds so far.

[Verizon LG G3] Edde3d:
I generally just wipe the data, cache and dalvik then flash the ROM. I have seen in a few threads to also wipe internal and SD. My question is what is getting wiped if I did do internal and SD. I've never done this before and wanted to ask before I did something I might regret later lol. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
Anything you keep on your internal SD card...like pictures/music/documents. I would recommend not doing this at all. If you keep a ROM or other flashable zips in these locations and wipe them before you flash them, they'll disappear. It is kind of like formatting.
[Verizon LG G3] 08BajaBoy:
wiping internal clears out everything. meaning you wont be able to reboot into the OS from recovery unless you have a rom on your external SDS to flash before rebooting. I would recommend it unless you know what you are doing and want to start fresh.
[Verizon LG G3] 6NomoN6:
Wiping internal is wiping the internal sd card . . . so as the first person said, you'd lose all the pictures/movies/etc. one may have in their sd card...
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i wipe internal storage on every clean flash. if you get in the habit of using auto backup apps like g+ for pics, and move anything useful from downloads to the sd card as you get it, its really no haste to wipe it. i also have titanium do full backups every night while im sleeping, for system and app data.

im sure some people wil say they havent wiped it in 10 years and never have an issue. i can tell you, i dont have a fraction of the random issues most people have that arent known bugs.

i have never tried it, but im pretty sure thats not accurate.

wiping internal storage should be nothing more than an advanced data wipe. instead of only deleting user data, you are deleting system data too. but you arent wiping any system files, so the system data should rebuild on boot.
[Verizon LG G3] 08BajaBoy:
you probably are correct. I only replied because I recent had an experience with it. I passed my G2 on to a friend. I offered to load up what ever ROM he wanted and he chose CM12. I got it all loaded up and working fine. Then I decided to go back into recovery to erase any data I had on the device. I selected Internal Storage in TWRP, rebooted and it wouldn't go beyond the lg screen.

If I am correct, you would never notice it since you wipe then flash.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
weird, maybe you are right. ill try it next time i clean flash and see what happens.

none of the rom code should be stored there, so it should rebuild.

if you accidentally wiped system, it defiantly wouldnt boot then.
[Verizon LG G3] Fuse8499:
I NEVER wipe Internal or External sd. I wipe cache, data & dalvik from time to time. I'll wipe system as well if I'm flashing a new rom. I tend to keep all of my media and app backups on my External sd just in case something ever happens. For example, if you have to revert back to stock, your Internal sd is completely wiped.

Complaining about the lack of micro SD is still a thing? I thought we went over this... multiple times...

It's time to accept the reality that all of the S6 versions will not have micro SD. If you need a micro SD then simply grab another phone.

[Galaxy S6 General] istperson:
Well, if it's too slow compared to the built in flash...
[Galaxy S6 General] kerelberel:
There's nothing in the software which prohibits it from being discovered by a file browser. It works but read/write speed in the music/video player apps is slower than if the files were on the internal storage themselves.
[Galaxy S6 General] tokuzumi:
So, is this a confirmation on a feature which may or may not exist, on a phone which doesn't currently exist?
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
The SD card was an issue when the phone only had 8 or 16 GB of internal storage. Now that the phone has minimum 32 GB with an option of having 64Gb (of much faster storage) for a manageable price I don't think the SD card is a problem anymore. Most people i know only use a 32 GB SD card anyway.

Samsung's Galaxy S6 Active may come with a microSD card slot, but at a high cost

Reddit user “garshol” sat down with a Samsung rep a couple of days ago to discuss the new Galaxies, and the Active was among the topics at the table. The ruggedized version of Sammy's latest flagship will boast “similar” hardware under the hood, according to the report, and will come with an SD card slot. However, it will also come at a cost – according to garshol's posts, the Active's camera will be a lower class than the one on the flagship model, but at least it may still have OIS. Additionally, the endurance model will not have a fingerprint scanner, and will lack a heartbeat sensor.

[Galaxy S6 General] hella356:
These tradeoffs would be acceptable to me. I'm curious about what the dimensions and weight of the phone will be.

I've read a few comments on some sites that suggest including an SD card slot and its associated controller slow down the overall performance of a phone, even if there's no SD card inserted. I have no idea if this is true, but if so, I can at least understand why the S6 lacks SD from a performance standpoint. I've assumed that Samsung's assertion that SD was too slow for the S6 was because they didn't want benchmarks/comments that the built-in internal storage is lightning fast, but SD card is still slow. More of a "we don't want any suggestions that ANY aspect of the S6 is slow", even though most users are well aware of SD's limitations and are primarily interested in simply having the ability to easily expand the storage space despite it not keeping up with the phone storage speeds.
[Galaxy S6 General] qipengart:
I definitely will not be getting the S6 due to the lack of removable battery and lack of micro SD slot. I think that HTC and LG are going in the right direction here.

Just in case anyone else runs into this:

I've been using rogersb11 CyanideMod cm11 ROM on my phone for a couple of months and haven't had many issues with it. According to Android Police Google has updated Play Services with a bunch of new features. My phone updated to that version in the last couple of days and now it never goes into deep sleep. I used to be able to go a couple of days before I had to charge the phone and now it barely lasts a day. The battery history shows that the phone is continually awake and Google Play Services is the top CPU (ab)user. BetterBatteryStats that the "SystemUpdateService" (part of Google Play Services) is responsible for 99% of the partial wakelocks.

There are a fair number of complaints on the Play store page for Play Services so this update is buggy.

Hi everyone, first of all I have to say that I don´t speak English very well but I will try to do my best.

I wanted to share what recently I discover in my Nexus 6 unit, hopefully someone can tell me if they are having the same issue.

I have never dropped my cellphone, the mayority of the days I carry my Nexus 6 in the pocket of my jacket, and ocassionaly in the front pocket of my pants, never in the back pocket.

Currently Im in conversation with the Motorola support team, I hope they can replace my unit, but I want to know what do you think.

*** The texts in the pictures are in Spanish, because I send that ones to Motorola, but basically they show the curvature of the cellphone in the left metal frame side and the screen at its center point.

Can't find the E LTE drivers yet on Motorola's site for the E LTE (I'm a newbie, so can't post links, but trust me, they're not there.)

I wonder if the GSM part can be unlocked like the Motorola Luge by changing ITEM_8322 in NVRAM from 01 to 00 to enable the GSM bands. I can't try this without the Motorola providede drivers.

Bad news I'm afraid; The phone is locked on verizon. VZW lock LTE phones which are sold in a box as a prepaid package... You would have to wait for 6 months or 12 months continuous service to get it unlocked by VZW. I know of no third party unlockers who have managed this phone so far.

Thanks, is it possible to flash other rom? I see talk about GSM version not this. If this has a GSM radio, can a GSM rom flash make it available? Looks like registeration software also block selection of GSM band. Can those who have registered with Verizon see the GSM option is available. it can be checked in -> Setting -> More -> Cellular Network -> Preferred network type. My unregistered Moto E shows LTE/CDMA only.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonfiretits:
I don't know if this will fix your problem but their is a lower level (Testing > Phone Information) menu that should allow you to select other network types.

Pull up the phone dialer and type the below text

*#*#4636#*#*

The "Testing" menu should show up > Select "Phone Information"

Scroll down and "Turn Off Radio" > then select whatever network type you want > then "Turn On Radio"

Let me know if the LTE/GSM selection isn't there or this procedure doesn't work.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tm515:
The Testing Menu does not pop up when *#*#4636#*#* is dialed. It looks like there is software routine which bypasses "Testing" menu and returns to the android home screen.

I know *#*#4636#*#* code should be universal because that takes to "Testing" menu in my OnePlus One and Nexus 4. Verizon seems to have done some trick to bypass standard android feature.

I have also tried scores of other *# codes but the most I have been able to get is to connect to the Verizon "call collect" voice prompt. My phone is still not registered to Verizon and I am not willing to fork out $45 for a prepaid plan to get activated.

At this point I am willing to do anything: unlock bootloader/flash recovery/root/ flash another rom if any developer is willing to help me get this phone working in GSM network (AT&T and T-mobile).

It works fine here with a Postpaid SIM on Unlimited data. (I'm a newbie still here, so can't post links)

Verizon does not lock its prepaid devices at all: www dot verizonwireless dot com slash aboutus slash commitment slash safety-security slash device-unlocking-policy.html

"We do not lock our 4G LTE Prepaid devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier."

They did, however, change a setting in the NVRAM (very likely) - see above where I said this:

"I wonder if the GSM part can be unlocked like the Motorola Luge by changing ITEM_8322 in NVRAM from 01 to 00 to enable the GSM bands. I can't try this without the Motorola provideded drivers."

If someone can figure out how to do so before the driver bundle is released by Motorola, please do so, throw a GSM SIM in there, and see if you have the option to pick GSM bands in the cellular settings afterward.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tm515:
[MENTION=6524279]acadiel[/MENTION]

If "We do not lock our 4G LTE Prepaid devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier." is the Verizon policy and as device cost is already paid off in prepaid device, does it make sense to call them and ask for the code to unlock the GSM bands? Can this even be unlocked with dialer code (like other GSM phones)? This is my first CDMA phone, I got this phone because my internet searches showed that all 4G LTE CDMA phone from verizon have GSM bands and can be used in ATT and T-mobile without any problem. Obviously, this is not turning out to be true. Also, I don't see any ebay service to unlock the US Verizon Mote E 2015; all service offered are for Europe carriers.
