[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
That is good news but I believe that you have been the only one able to successfully downgrade. Hope others that have had success chime in.

Just to confirm, that you took the 5.0 ota yesterday correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billy06010:
Do you have a link to that file?? i have a downgrade to nce file but not sure if its the one you used or not . the one i have softbricked me so i had to use the 5.0 partition tar to fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
The sequence is silly, but whatever.

I started with 4.4.4, rooted, safestrap. Very light root usage - props file changed to enable SD card usage for more apps, logon sound replaced with silence, TiBu (with bloatware/et. al. frozen but not removed), ServiceDisabler, Busybox, Safestrap. Otherwise stock.

Made safestrap and Kies backups.

Used your zip under safestrap to wipe and restore, rebooted w/o odin flashing the boot/kernel from you the first time (didn't catch the reboot fast enough).

After allowing the device to sit black-screened for a few minutes to make sure I wasn't being impatient, I powered down, brought it up into download mode, and ODIN flashed your second step (bootloader/partitions/whatever else is in that flash).

Power cycled phone, it again locked up black-screen without getting even the Samsung animation.

Waited a few minutes to to be sure, and power cycled again to be sure.

Brought phone up, used ODIN to flash the 'downgrade to NCE' package.

Power cycled, phone booted normally, let it go into setup sequence but skipped everything until I could tell it to shut down.

Brought phone up, used ODIN to flash the next two OTA files to bring it to 4.4.4.

Again, power cycled, phone booted normally, let it go into setup sequence but skipped everything until I could tell it to shut down.

Brought phone up, used ODIN to flash the 5.0 OTA.

Brought phone up, runs as expected (of course, no root).

Addendum. I have extra fun with ODIN because my PC runs Ubuntu Linux, so I use Odin within Win 8 running inside VMware Player. Seems to work fine but I would never guarantee it doesn't introduce quirks.

I may at some point in the next couple weeks backstep and again try your safestrap based root-keep setup, but want to take some time with it 100% stock and see how things run.

Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Thank you, but based on what you have stated you never flashed the OC4 bootloader which explains why you were able to downgrade.

At this time there is no downgrade method for those that have taken the OC4 ota update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Wasn't that part of G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions_wOA1_BL.tar.md5 (flashed via ODIN after restoring your backup in SS)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
No, that file includes the OA1 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Got it. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
So let me get this straight, if ur not rooted and running 5.0 theres no way to root after taking 5.0 ota??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Waiting4MyAndroid:
YES! If your phone is on official ATT 5.0 OTA, then there is NOT a way to root or even downgrade to NCE. You will have to wait until root exploit is found or bootloader unlocked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Waiting4MyAndroid:
Stop giving wrong information! Did you read the OP? This is about downgrading stock OTA 5.0 and not rooting. You cannot downgrade if your phone is on official stock OTA 5.0……! You will brick your phone. The information you have provided only works if your phone is Still on NG3 or OA1. Again if your bootloader is already on OC4, then you cannot downgrade. The reason [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] method can be downgraded is that he using a 5.0 ROM while keeping the bootloader at OA1.

I mistakenly tried to downgrade my AT&T S5 after the lollipop OTA update... am now soft bricked. can you please elaborate on what you did regarding "5.0 partitions tar" to get back up and running? process steps and where to get said file(s) would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nikedrop:
I am in the same boat. Please explain how you got your phone back to working after ota 5.0 upgrade then attempting to downgrade because i did the same thing and now in a soft brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nikedrop:
If you need help I solved my soft brick. Put your phone into download mode then flash the stock kernal using odin. Reboot then flash using odin the stock partition. While this wont downgrade to 4.4.X because you are on ota 5.0 you will be able to get your phone back to 5.0 lollipop. Thanks to Fitz110 who uploaded these files and for the solution.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
All these snippets of news about the LG G4 I'm reading has got me interested. The one thing that'd put me off is if they really drag their feet releasing Android updates to the phone. How quick has their turnaround been for the G2 and G3? I see that the G2 (now 18 months old) got updated to 5.0.2 which is promising. If they continue to support the top end phones for at least 2 years, then that's awesome news and so much better than Samsung and Sony.

Thoughts?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsJacobee:
They've always been really slow with releasing updates, but after 5.0 came out they were among the first companies to release the update. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the G3 got it before some Nexus devices, which is known for getting the updates first.

Used to suck, but they changed their game around.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kp_q:
well, we'll find out in the coming weeks with 5.1. it's been out for a little while and so far nothing. that's right though, as long as LG is faster than Samsung, they're doing something right...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
Yes it'll be interesting. I think a few other manufacturers have had a few exceptional quick turn arounds for releasing an Android OS update but then fallen back to old ways. It will be interesting to see how long 5.1 takes to come out, if they are quick then I think I'll have my eye on the LG G4 otherwise I may wait for the next Nexus phone. I'm currently rocking a Nexus 5 which I'm really happy about. Still performing great.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingredbull:
Has anyone had a HTC One and moved over to LG? I have been very interested in the LG G4 for a variety of reasons, but have been with HTC since the original Desire, but their cameras have really not been great. What do you like more about the LG? How different is the LG skin to sense? Are you able to achieve S-off? Sorry for all the questions but very interested to know what your opinion is.

This is Space Fable my first game. It is a free game for Android system.

I'm hoping this advanced calling video works well on the S6. I hope it works as good as Facetime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] le0.br4zuc4:
Works very well. Better than facetime since it works with iPhones as well. Doesn't work on all phones yet but works well on the compatible devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] EVOme:
Sweet!!! So it's currently able to be used on devices with Verizon prior to S6? I have never seen the option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] milan03:
Definitely doesn't work with iPhones. Only between Verizon branded Android devices, while on Verizon LTE network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] le0.br4zuc4:
I don't think I am. I'm almost certain that a Verizon note about VoLTE being so great was HD voice and Video regardless of phone you're using. I'll double check on that and post if I'm either right or wrong.

However, I'm 1000000% sure HD voice works fine because my business partner has an iPhone 6+ and I a GS6 Edge and we just hung up a call that was VoLTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] milan03:
- VoLTE will work on your side if you have a capable phone, regardless of whether the other party has a VoLTE device or not.

- HD Voice however will only happen within VoLTE-to-VoLTE calls within Verizon's LTE network.

- LTE Video calling, which is what we're talking about in this thread, will only work when calling another Verizon's LTE Video Calling enabled device, while on Verizon's LTE network.

- No iOS devices support Verizon's LTE Video Calling at this time, including iPhone 6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] skinnytoo2:
Works great with my edge and wife's S5! Goodbye Skype!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Syn Ack:
I tried all weekend to video chat with my mother and her iPhone6 and it would absolutely not work. HD voice worked amazingly. iPhone's just don't have the ability to do it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jsminnis:
Does video calling use data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] magneticzero:
Yes it uses data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] redneck_jedi:
WiFi?

Does it only work on LTE? I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I'm on WiFi currently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] EVOme:
What I have found is you need to make a regular call. When the person connects and you're talking....hit the camera button on you your phone. It will say it's requesting video call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trikotret:
You can't have video calling between Android and iPhone. Both different platforms. I kept on trying and trying and I found that out on HD video Q&A on Verizon site.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lucky_strike33:

1. How can WM roms be distributed? Win2K and other OS cannot be redistributed in this fashion.

2. How might a 3rd party rom conflict with or omit information required by carrier (Cingular, etc.).

3. What are the basic pieces/components in flashing and how do they relate to each other.

A link to a page I perhaps haven't found will be fine, thanks.

I have upgraded my phone to new AT&T roms and am wondering how much new/needed functionality I'll get from a custom ROM. A link or info on most compelling features from new roms w/be nice.

I have burned ROMs for embedded devices (modbus), various ipaqs and routers (wrt54gl/dd-wrt) but need more info before proceeding with flash of my phone.

1. There is a thread running describing everyones opinion on this. Search for "legal ROM" in hermes section

2. read wiki - Hermes for Beginners, search for "ext rom".

3. read wiki

if you post another thread like this and someone says "rtfw", that means "read the f*king wiki". I would suggest you start there. Click on the link in my signature.

Good Luck, and make sure you do LOTS of reading before you start to flash.

All you have to do is to find the right switch and light the bulb in time.You can drag the camera view and zoom.in/out. I have made a demo, because I don't know what to think about this game, I can't decide whether it's good or not and making levels is kind of painful.

Its a gradient yellow and appers mainly on top side edges of the screen.. No its not becoz of some screen guard or some theme.. I even change the whole rom jst to check whether its the fault of the rom or the display.. I even changed colour saturatuon but that yellowish tint never goes. .It mainly appears on white background. I can clearly see whn i go to settings as it has white background ..

I dnt knw anyone personally who has redmi note 4g to check if everone is stuck up with this prob or jst me.. If anyone is facing same issue then plz post here

Is there any solution to it..?? I stay in india (mumbai) and phns warranty is still not void..

[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udda90:
Could be caused by moisture. Do you bring your phone with you in wet environment? (eg. shower) In that case just avoid that places in the future (or put phone into a transparent plastic bag, like I do)

Or it could be a hardware related problem. Screen was always yellow from the beginning or it changed at some time?
[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soham1990:
That could b d one reason.. I use phn in bathroom sometimes too listen music..

yellow tint appear in my phone also when the phone was delivered on 24 Jan. Even old MI 4i and Red mi Note 3 screen are clear and white in comparison to new Redmi note 4. Highly disappointed,made every setting/test updated the phone and also provided details to Mi Service for replacement. MI service although acknowledges the yellow defect but they are not replacing as per replacement policy EVEN WITHIN 15 HOURS OF DELIVERY. Yellowness is defect.

Very bad experience from MI SUPPORT.

You can compare new Red mi note 4 with Mi4i and will feel difference.

Very poor MI service in terms of replacement of note4

I have a bit of problem here android experts. I'm using WhatsApp and recently I started noticing that I only receive the messages when I open the app. If the app is running in background (i.e., not removed from recents screen) then i keep getting the notifications. Once i clear the app from recents screen, then i don't get the notifications unless and until I open the app or go to Settings > Accounts and Sync and manually Sync WhatsApp. I have tried everything from re-installing WhatsApp and clearing the cache and data and also no task killer applications is stopping WhatsApp from running in the background. And even though I don't receive the messages, the WhatsApp service keeps running in the background. I tried sending a message from my friends phone and didn't receive the message but when i checked under Settings > Apps > Running, it showed WhatsApp is running One process and One service.

Need help!

Can anyone make a tutorial how to build for a specific device using compressed source ..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskaranbir Singh:
Read this first:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Development

In short->

- Extract the compressed sources and cd from terminal into their folder.

- Run these commands:

source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast <device codename>
cd android/system/device/<vendor name>/<device codename>
./extract-files.sh
brunch <device codename>

Here "<vendor name>" is name of vendor for your phone and <device codename> is ... well, your device codename.

For example, for building for nexus 4 (vendor = lge (commonly known as LG), codename = mako), the commands would be:

source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast mako
cd android/system/device/lge/mako
./extract-files.sh
brunch <device codename>

Also, this implies that official Cyanogenmod exists for your device. If it doesnt, then you will have to follow a porting tutorial instead (which is much more complex and judging, you would need to learn much more stuff like building kernels, decompiling their ramdisks, debugging etc).
