[XDA Assist] Bolemo:
Hello,

I have a new Lenovo A606, that came with a strange ROM (IMEI not recognized, some weird WIFI setup) from 2014. I was able to set it up and correct the problems (thanks to google), but I still had some language issues (the Lenovo Apps including dialer, contacts, sms, etc… were English only). I was able to root it fine, and no working problem.

I decided to install a clean stock ROM, ROW: the A606_USR_S036_1502271022_V3_MP_ROW that is more recent and fully supports multilanguage.

I took a PC with Windows XP, and installed the latest SP Flash Tool, following a tutorial.

I was able to install android adb drivers and the MTK driver from the ROM image. The phone was showing in the devices, then was disappearing, then showing again… I had an error, but then I tried again with the option to update the firmware, and the Flash Tool reached the end and said it flashed succesfully.

Problem: after that, the phone was totally bricked. It would not start at all. When I plug it on the PC, it shows sporadically a device called "VENDOR 0E8D - communication" that disappears very quickly. I cannot flash it again. I just lost my brand new phone…

I tried with SP Flash Tool, and Flash SPMDT, with different ROMs, CN only, ROW, different versions… But nothing. It always says that Flash failed. Even when the phone is not plugged, I have an error with Flash SPMDT, with all ROMs, saying that (1)COM ports number is repetitive or invalid, or (2) Brom and preloader have the same comport number! and it asks me to modify them in INI file or scan again. Of course, scan fails, when I plug the phone pressing vol up + vol down (only way to make the phone recognized by the computer without a battery), the progress goes to 100% then either stays stuck there, or says it failed. SP Flash Tools gives this error: 'BROM ERROR s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)'

I tried several drivers, to clean drivers with usbdview, I tried several versions of SP Flash Tools… I don't know what to do anymore. I hope that Lenovo has a warranty and that they could flash it back to normal.

I don't know if it is a problem accessing the META mode on the phone, or bad roms… I tried on one computer with XP, and another with Windows 8.1, and the problem is the same.

ANY HELP would be appreciated, thank you!
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like you've tried everything possible. Since it sporadically shows up on your pc try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work then I think it is bricked and you'll have to check with whomever you purchased the device from to see if they can fix it.

hello, my phone is borring and i'm searching cool things to do. someone has ideas ?
[XDA Assist] Dreamies:
I have the following adaptor:

View attachment 3255485

It works with my phone fine (Galaxy S3 GT-I9300)

But I cannot get it to work with my Android media player (Minix NEO X8-H Plus)

I'm looking for any help to try and get the adaptor working on my media player.

If there's already a thread about this adaptor I'm more than happy to read through it but I couldn't find one.

note:thie method also works on japanese z3, and ultra stamina mode also works after apply this method. thanks [MENTION=4198062]Advali[/MENTION] for the information

playmemoris mobile is sony's camera app which transfer photos to phone from sony camera.

as we know, japanese z3c(so-02g) has different nfc chips.

if a japanese z3c(so-02g) flashes a d58xx rom, nfc will not work.

also:

if you flashed a 4.4.4 d58xx rom,nfc will drain battery, you have to pm block com.android.nfc to fix this,but play memories mobile will not launch;

if you flashed a 5.0.2 d58xx rom,nfc will not drain battery,playmemories mobile can lauch,but after launching, it will try to enable nfc, and battery will drain again;

now we have a solution(REQUIRES ROOT AND SYSTEM R/W):

first step: pm block com.android.nfc (for 4.4.4) or pm hide com.android.nfc (for 5.0.2).

this will stop battery drain.

second step:use root explorer, go to /system/etc/permissions, search "nfc", and delete all four xml files whose name contains nfc.(do this after backup)

this step will make your phone think it has no nfc function at all.

then reboot your phone, everything will be ok!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Advali:
Will ultra stamina mode also work using this method? Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] defia:
i can't try ultra stamina atm,because my z3c's touch screen cracked yesterday and i've sent it to repair...

i will try ultra stamina mode as soon as i get my phone again

but if you flash lollipop rom, with nothing modified(neither pm hide nor deleted xml files), ultra stamina will work and if you don't touch nfc settings by yourself or apps like playmemories mobile, battery life will be normal.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] akasasori:
Excuse me for a stupid question, should it possible to use the NFC SERVICE files in the japanese firmware to make NFC works normal ?

sorry for my bad english
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Advali:
Already tested it bro. Ultra stamina works with this method. By the way I'm using a SOL26 variant Z3 with a .726 US firmware.

Before I had problems til I read this thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] defia:
no. the difference is on drivers/kernel level, not that simple with a replacement of apk file.

since there's no lollipop rom of so-02g yet, i don't think we can port old drivers from kitkat roms to lollipop roms.

also, if we get a lollipop rom of so-02g, there's no reason to use a d58xx rom any more.

总之就是因为没有日版的5.0系统，所以nfc肯定用不了，有了也就不需要用这些非日版的rom了，在日版基础上改就行了。。
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] defia:
thank you very much for the information!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] akasasori:
Can you tell me how you use US firmeware with 32GB partition keeps ?:p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Advali:
I just installed the US firmware via TWRP that's all bro.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
Battery was getting tired, so I ordered a replacement -- and installed it yesterday afternoon..

The phone worked normally -- until this morning.

I noticed a notification from my text app that it couldn't connect and that I should check my settings.

I went to settings and began by refreshing the PRL. During that process the phone froze and then went dead.

Totally dead.

So, I opened it up again to check the battery terminal connection -- and I believe it WAS loose -- so I reconnected it and checked it. Phone goes on!

But it only goes to the splash screen and then repeats. No boot animation.

It will go to the bootloader, but not boot the system nor recovery from there.

Using the fastboot commands, I re-flashed bootloader, radio, boot, system, (From 5.1 stock image) TWRP recovery and erased the cache.

Still stuck at the Google splash screen.

Anyone care to point me in a better direction?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pearlbrian:
Must be expiration time for Nexus 5 batteries from the initial run. I had to replace mine today as well. Try reflashing the cache and not erasing it after. I made that mistake a month or so ago and kept bootlooping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ivstan14:
I pre-ordered at my local BB at 10am on the 27th. Went into the store this morning despite not receiving an email to check on it. They informed me that all of the AT&T shipments were late compared to the other carriers and that they had no stock of the 64's yet. I called the three closest AT&T stores around me and the answer was the same -- 32 are in stock, but nobody has any 64.

Anybody else have a similar experience? Has anyone been able to pick up their 64 today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jooosty:
I plan on doing this in a hour. Pacific time .

If they don't have my 64GB white for ATT that I preordered 3-31, I'll go to the ATT which is in the same parking lot lol.

If ATT doesn't have it, I'll just have to opt for a 128GB of that's available. If neither are available I'll settle for a 32GB....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ivstan14:
Nobody had the 128s where I checked as well, but phone shipments certainly aren't equally distributed. If you live in a more suburban area than I do you're likely to have better luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jooosty:
Checked all the ATT in the area and none have the 64GB edge , but they do have the regular S6 in 64. Going to opt for the regular most likely...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] plaxy:
oh boy I sense ATT getting heat if all the Platinum/Gold Pre-Orders that were said to be shipped out around the 24th which are now being shipped recieve there Edge before all the black ones who were promiced by the 10th. Kind of glad I ordered the platinum Gold one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SomeGuyDude:
I can add to the BS.

Aside from the shipment being late at my BB, their system couldn't do my trade-in/up on my old iPhone, it wouldn't accept the SKU. So eventually they call up AT&T, no go. I call AT&T and they proceed to tell me that Best Buy does not have the capability to do a trade-in.

That's right, AT&T claimed that Best Buy cannot do a @#$% trade-in.

So I fought with them some more, and they had me do the pay-up over the phone with them. Still, the sale wouldn't work. They call AT&T again, AT&T says "oh if you do trade-in it can take 24 hours for it to process".

Because, you know, NO ONE ever walks into a store to trade-in their phone and walk out with a new one.

Sensing some BS, I call them again. They then proceed to tell ME that, oh no, the payment processed just fine, it's that BEST BUY has a bad system but hey if you place your order with me and give me the sale I can do it right now and put it in the mail for ya this afternoon. No thanks, I just had Jason here struggle for about 95 minutes trying to make this order happen, I'm not letting you guys just throttle BB's ability to make sales just because you want to force people to buy directly through you.

It was really insane. AT&T seemed to just REFUSE to let Best Buy sell me the phone, their story repeatedly changed as to why it wasn't working, but I don't think they realized I was standing there with the sales reps and had actually seen other people do trade-ins. I eventually got it, but MAN it was a fight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jooosty:
Wow. All for the commision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] House M.D.:
I placed my pre-order on the 3rd of April, BB.com, and I received it in store on the 10th, AT&T black sapphire 64GB and got the free wireless charger pad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tivogirl:
No 64GB Edge models in SLC yet

Same issue here in Salt Lake City. I was told I was the first to pre-order the white Edge 64GB AT&T version. I also ordered a standard S6 32GB in black. I got the notification Friday morning on the black one, but nothing on mine. I waited until 4pm and then just went to the store. After waiting an hour to be helped, I was told I could not leave with the black one unactivated (it's for my nephew out of state and is a surprise graduation gift), and that no 64GB white Edge phones arrived at all. They had no idea when they might get them. So I left empty handed and extremely annoyed, even though the BB staff was apologetic and offered to hold the wireless charging pad for my nephew's phone even though I theoretically wouldn't pick it up for two months.

I checked a few AT&T stores, but they didn't get any 64GB Edge models at all either. I was told only those who preordered directly through AT&T online and had their phones shipped to them got the 64GB version, at least in my area. The AT&T stores could also not tell me when they might be in stock, but suggested I order online and could get one in as little as one business day. I do see they are shipping and just had a live chat with an AT&T rep online who told me white 64GB Edge models were ready to ship to customers.

I still haven't gotten any communication from Best Buy on my phone - not even the "sorry for the delay" email some are reporting. And yes, I've checked spam. I think I'll be ordering from AT&T online tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tivogirl:
Gave up - AT&T order coming tomorrow

I gave up on Best Buy and ordered my 64GB white Edge from AT&T online today with expedited shipping. Just got the notification that it's being delivered tomorrow!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dxwilliams40:
I gave up on my Bestbuy preorder also. I preordered a white 64GB S6. Got an email on the 10th about a delay. I cancelled yesterday and ordered the 64GB Platinum / Gold S6 Edge from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rogvid700:
Ordered my 64GB Gold Platinum Edge yesterday, order status says it's "Preparing for shipment". I have the same 4/24-4/27 estimated ship date as well but the guy who helped me at my AT&T store said it'd be delivered in 3-5 Days. I've heard people getting theirs way sooner than the estimated ship date and I'm wondering if that's just applying to a certain model, or all of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Antoniv2689:
Very good device, i love it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bigblue95z:
Well that sucks, must be in bigger cities? I walked into a Best Buy just to look at one on 4/12 thinking I wasn't eligible for a few more weeks, ended up walking out with a 'black' 64gb edge. But it had problems, had a bunch of what looked like waves on the underside of the glass (mfg defect?). Went back in last Thursday and swapped for another one in stock (no issues).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] freemeech:
We bought a white and black 64gb edge. My wife's black one had a bubble under the LCD. While I was having mine wrapped at Clear Coat we noticed it. We took it back to the store and had it swapped out only to see a line of waves under the screen. They wouldn't swap it for another one abs told us we had to contact Samsung directly .
[P3600 General] seghis:
I've tried phonepad, contact breeze, spbcontact, messagease but none of them are good enough to me (phone pad has too small buttons, with the other two you can't write sms and with the last one you can't use your thumbs. So anybody knows a T9 app with all the best?

Hello all,

I need your help to unbrick my Droid Razr xt910, Initially I flashed my phone with "SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml" which is EU ICS and applied the JB OTA "Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU" and everything was good atleast for an year, Since my bootloader is locked, I installed Safestrap 3.x and created additional ROM slot to try Cyanogenmod 11 and it worked perfectly as well. The problem started when i wanted to try CM 12, since it required Safestrap 3.75, i wanted to upgrade it, but my bad, unfortunately I installed it on the ROM slot and my phone crashed and cannot boot the phone normally or into Recovery mode, everything is screwed and i have been struggling for days to unbrick my phone, but no luck so far, Could some one please point me the right approach to unbrick my phone?

When i tried to flash the boot image from the Stock ICS package i have, i get the below error.

[Moto X Q&A] whatsitsnamenow:
I have a 2013 Moto X XT1053. I recently run into the problem where if I play a video a few seconds later the video would stop. This happens on youtube video (played via youtube app), local video playback( play via various players), and also games. When I start a game it would boot me out to the home page in a few seconds (sometimes longer). Seems any video or graphics will cause this bug. I have not updated the phone and have been running 4.4.4 for a while without a problem. It just happen out of the blue one day.

This bug happens even if my phone is bone stock.

So far I have tried reset the phone a few times. I also reload the factory image via RSlite to go back to a fresh out of box state. But it still does the same thing. I'm looking for help and suggestions. Thanks

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bridge Ric:
I did. I read about how not flashing the modems can do stuff like screen going dead on calls and stuff but I can't be bothered to flash it as we're so close to CM12S anyway so when I update to that the issues will go away anyway
