Haven't tried backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
What if you have a non-functioning system (say a bootloop) would it be possible to restore without odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
No, FF is only accessible via a fully functioning device. Unbricking will require Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
It appears that Flashfire has the ability to flash to the kernel partition... Would this include devices with the NC5 locked bootloader? Or would that just brick the device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
See here. These apply to all locked bootloader devices: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60070810
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
After looking around and installing it, I have a quick question.

How is this versus Safestrap? It appears to be more dangerous since it can fail if low memory is available, will cause softbrick if flash kernel partition, and is a little harder to navigate. However, it seems to be better since it can do everything Safestrap can whilst on the system bootup, is non-intrusive at boot pre-splash image, and is built by a bit more reliable developer.

After looking at this thread, it looks like it would be possible to update to an unoffical lollipop build on verzion. Could this be done?

Sorry for so many questions, just trying to see if this is a viable replacement for Safestrap 3.7.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joey#erenko:
what android version were you on.....if oc1 then how did it downgrade :confused:

I thought if attempted through flashfire it would hard brick :confused:

:fingers-crossed: hopefuly a downgrade method finally
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I am on the NK4 Bootloader, before the OC1 rollback was set, so I can go anything from NC5 through NK4.

No. If you flash an NC5 TAR via FF, and you were previously on OC1, you will 100% hard brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackra1n:
I've used it on OC1 and installed a ROM and a volume boost mod and so far zero problems!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkopalek:
So I'm in a situation with old MK2 firmware and currently using SafeStrap (I don't remember why I wound up using SafeStrap).

I've done so much reading to see if I can't get this thing from MK2 to OF1 safely, but I still don't quite understand if I can use FlashFire or not.

Looking to go to this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-update-to-i545of1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3182544
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
OF1 is supposed to patch stagefright...SUPPOSED TO. But, the update.zip and the VZW/Samsung documentation tell two different stories. Dates for files/folders in the update.zip from fota do not coincide with any modification Sammy or VZ made, therefore making OF1 nothing more than a wet bandaid.

IMHO...Stick with OC1 (or whatever you desire <OC1), disable auto-retrieve mms thru the stock messaging app settings and, viola...you've got OF1 (pretty much)...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
You can use flashfire with unlocked or locked bootloader AFAIK, but as far as I've heard AROMA doesn't play nice with FF. I have flashed kitpop with flashfire and it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkopalek:
Thanks for your replies. You two are great.

I'm going to do the FF methods.

Oh damn -- I'm glad I randomly googled the right words first. Looks like you can't go MK2 to 5.0 with FlashFire

I got the OTA, but when the device reboots, it doesn't update. Then it wants to download the OTA again.

I'm s-off, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery. I'm thinking I need to relock the bootloader.

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
If you have frozen any apps, have xposed installed, or altered anything in system folder it will not update when your phone is in recovery and fails update look at the yellow writing at the bottom of recovery and it should have the the reason it failed
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
I unfroze all apps, uninstalled xPosed.

It reboots to recovery (stock) and starts, but then quits to recovery after a minute.

I'm not sure what the scoop is.

I might just run the RUU...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
What error message did it say at the bottom of recovery when it stopped
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
I didn't see an error. I'll see if I can get it to download again (I keep having to set my clock ahead more and more days...) Almost doesn't seem worth it.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Thank you for all your help...

Before I RUU the whole thing, I tried the OTA zip package after re-flashing another stock recovery.

I got further, and actually have an error that makes sense:

Package expects build fingerprint of htc/cingular_us/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P.......; this device has htc/cingular_us/htc_m8:4.4.2KOT49H.....installation aborted.

I'm guessing I have the wrong firmware or recovery, but I was running 4.4.4.

Any ideas before I ruu?

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
Download 4.4.4 firmware from link below and place it in ext-sd reboot into hboot it will ask you to press power to update firmware just press power wait until it's finished then reboot and try updating ota again

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-cg2hLPn3vTWW9xc3pVUDItd0k/edit?usp=docslist_api
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
I'll try that. I thought I had that firmware already, but I'll give it another go. I really appreciate your help on this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Didn't work.

I'm thinking that I may have either a bad OTA zip file (I didn't grab yours) or there's something really odd about what I've done to the device (not sure what - I disabled xPosed, unfroze all the disabled apps).

I'm probably going to grab the OTA one more time (It started downloading after a TWRP restore).

If that doesn't work, I'm going to probably download the RUU and restore using Titanium backups.

Once again - thank you for all your help on this.

Anyone know why my phone keeps vibrating. It does it every 20 seconds, and it's constant.

I have my phone on mute, but it keeps vibrating.

I've reset the phone. But after a while, it just keeps coming back.

EDIT: It seems the phone is trying to receive a notification. When I set the vibration intensity of the notification to 0, it stops vibrating. And vise versa when I turn it up.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedlor:
So today I was looking at the ElementalX thread after I update to GPe 5.1 earlier in the week. I saw that a couple of people had the kernel working fine, so I decided I would flash it and see if it would work fine for me.

Of course, that was not the case. It got stuck in a boot loop, getting past the boot logo and to the "Optimising apps..." stage, every time. So I decided to flash the stock kernel back, but when I upgraded to 5.1, I didn't flash the new firmware, so I thought that this would be a good time to do that. After I did, I managed to get into Android just fine, however I had no WiFi. So after some restarts and clearing caches, etc, I decided to flash the firmware for 5.0.1. Same again. I found another GPe radio posted somewhere on XDA that was flashable in recovery, but same thing. I get a 4G signal fine and Bluetooth appears to be working.

Amongst all of this, now when I plug my phone in via USB neither my Macbook or Windows PC are picking it up...eurgh. I just don't understand why it is doing all of this when I'm sure it is now back to how it was before I started this morning? Would it just be easier to flash the 5.1 RUU to my phone now, or will I most likely just get the same problems?

Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes, it would be easier. RUUs are the safest way as well. You'll lose all of your data though, so backup anything that is important to you (photos, apks, zips, etc.)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedlor:
Yeah, I ended up doing this and it's working now. Bit annoyed though because I kinda forgot to move things from my /sdcard/ folder, thinking that it wouldn't get wiped...

Whoops. At least it's all working now though :D

Please, read carefully all the opening post content, you must follow the installation instructions to avoid any problem...

My custom kernel for CM 12.1 will be available in the future, I think that's important to have a good working rom first.

The first builds of this rom will be surely for testing purposes, don't think that everything will work as expected, so don't install it if you need a good working device.

I wish you a nice week end!

THX Cris,

another Masterpiece :D

During the testphase i was astonished how much better the CM 12.1 performes in comparison to the CM 12. The version before this one provided a "very quick" responding CallUI (about 2 seconds) while the latest needs nearly 6 seconds to start. i hope i will be quicker again. Another small bug is the missing provider connection symbol - but the connection is present and it works.

I wish you all a lot of fun with the newest ROM - THX again Chris - there are no words to express our gratitude to how much you have given us

I also agree with Rhonin86 in relation to better performe of the CM 12.1 in comparison to the CM 12.

[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/smartphones/smartphones/SM-G9200ZWUTGY

The model name is remained Galaxy S6, not named Galaxy s6 Duos. The model number is SM-G9200 and available in four colour in HK(with Green will be available in next month probably) and only 32GB listed, no 64/128GB offer as selection. The official price is USD$730.5 here.

http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-990

WCDMA SIM 1 / SIM 2: WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100, TD-SCDMA: 1880/2010

LTE SIM 1 / SIM 2: FDD:AWS/700/900/1800/2100/2600, TDD: 1900/2300/2500/2600

It does support a wide range of WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, TDD including almost all network in HK, China, Europe and USA. I can't find out where is it manufactured, it's odd that doesn't mention in the box. But since we are part of China, safe guess is made in China.

There are still two more dual sim variant available in China with other model number as I known and not sure if they got 64/128GB.

dualsim

Did someone ever have a dualsim card phone and can comment if it uses battery much faster. I live in China and it seems that the Hong Kong version is available as dualsim but I am hesitating as battery life isn't great already and I am sure there won't be any custom rims targeting dualsim phones.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Hi the HK version of dual sim as mentioned above is G9200. I am also based in China and currently in hk for few days. I just bought the s6 32gb 2 days back. Yesterday it gave me 4 hours screen time with 3g data on all the time. I had a lot of google services on yesterday which i have turned off today and will report how it goes.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
This time we are all on the same and only exynos platform, custom roms for dual sim model is easier and possible in the future but unliky there will be a lots appear. Indeed, with 3gb ram and so powerful cpu you are enough to live with stock rom and kernel except that you want to get the best battery performance out.

Speaking to the battery life, it just getting better everyday. After a few times of recharge cycle plus the latest ota update yesterday, my battery life seems to be improved up to 50%. You have to be power saving mode enabled if you want to use it full day however. Second sim should consumer a bit more power but it is limited to 2G when your first sim is in 3g or 4g mode, I think 2g only use very little battery.

Hi

Is the phone dual sim dual active mean both sim can receive calls same time not dual standby ?

Is the phone dual 3G/4G mean both sim can have 3G/4G?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Both sim can receive calls at the same time. However, with one being used as 3G/4G and the another one is limited to 2G. Not dual 3G/4G standby.

Thanks for your reply. So it's dual full active not dual standby and you can switch 4g to sim 2 but in this case sim 1 is 2g correct?

[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
As you can see from the screenshots, it already told you almost all things. I've got a couple of sim card but currently I only got one nano sim so I can't test the sim2 yet.

Voice call: You are free to pick which sim you would like to dial out and ring people.

Data service: You are limited to use either sim1 or sim2 to go on Internet but you can switch it here easy anytime. Only the data sim will get 3G/4G access and the other sim will switch to only 2G mode.

Dual Sim Always on: When you enable it, you can always receive phone call from both sims at the same time even you are during calls.
[Galaxy S6 General] samwise110712:
Good for you! :)

BTW

...As I check the model number inside the settings it says SM-G920F..But on all the stickers at the phone box and on the phone it says SM-G920FD....I think we can't just use a SM-G920F custom ROM in the future as there's a dual simcard settings in the phone. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] gpx:
Thanks TheEndHK

I think It's a dual sim dual standby and with the option dual sim always on as it shown in your screenshot you enable call farwarding from sim 2 to sim 1 when you receive a call to sim 2 and talking to sim 1. It's not a real dual active.

Regarding data service if you put your sim card to sim 2 tray and set data service to sim 2 can you get 3G/4g access to sim 2 ?

Thank you very much again.
[Galaxy S6 General] scampstom:
There is no big difference between G900FD and G9200 with my usage (both rooted without bloatware). Normally (without hard gaming) it´s good for 1 day and up to 5 hours display on time ... I suppose the display and even more the graphics unit of the S6 at high load is very battery consuming.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
The battery is worse than because the wifi and bluetooth got bugged now, once you turned them on they will just keep scanning always and drain a lots of battery. The google play services on S6 keep draining battery at background too, I've disabled it(no GApps working, I enable play services again when I need GApps). I've also enabled power saving mode.

After I done all things above, indeed I got 7~8hr screen-on time everyday and should not worse than S5. I think most battery problem currently is related to bugs, they can be fixed later.

I got dual sim card and after tested I found no different at all. I think the modem will just spend the same power no matter you put one or two sims in.
