[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
I don't see a need for a CWM based recovery. Almost everything works with TWRP, and TWRP is much better than CWM (easier to use, more features, etc.)

If someone wants CWM, they can go ahead and build one, though I don't think I'll be making one.

Also, what ROMs are you talking about? There are no ROMs for 2015 E 3G right now. When someone makes a ROM, I'd expect them to make it compatible with a recovery available for the device.

Yeah it's alive, a Huge thanks to [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] , everything is working very good, I did a back up already and it worked fine !!! Thank you very much Squid, u did it very good !!!

Good Work

Finally a custom recocery.

Everything is working fine. But it's taking some extra time to create a backup. Took 773 secs ( almost 13mins ) and the size even after enabling compression is 1.48 gb. Which was around 400-500 mb in my moto e 1st gen with twrp. And adjusting the brightness is also not working.

Thanx for your good work.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Thanks for your feedback. The backup behaviour you described sounds normal. Uncompressed backups on my LTE Moto E are almost 3GB (1.5 GB system + 1.5 GB data). A compressed backup size of 1.48 GB is typical. Compressing a large amount of data with a low end CPU is time consuming, and that explains why it took 13 minutes. I recommend backing up to a SD card, and using uncompressed backups.

The backlight brightness issue is probably due to the fact that I'm using an old prebuilt kernel that probably lacks the necessary backlight driver. I'll look into compiling my own kernel for the next release.

Huge thanks for the support!!

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the twrp-otus-2.8.6-test5.img version as u have said it is way better than twrp-otus-2.8.6-test4.img and rooted it using superSU zip.

I backed up and restore System, data and boot partition successfully.

However, I would like to know that while during restore there is an option for USB_OTG to restore the backup. Is that stuff working or not?

well i dont have an OTG right now, but will check it later after having that.

The default BACKUP location used by recovery is /data/media/0/TWRP in root directory for those users who can't find the backup directory.

Please. please I need CM12.1 ROM on 5.1 based. The 5.0.x version has got a memory leak bug. The bug can be removed either by installing android5.1 based ROM or by installing Xposed module for memory leak.

Anyway thanks thanks and huge thanks for your precious support.

Sorry for my CWM request

I knew that TWRP is far better than CWM recovery. Hope to see TWRP final successful build version.

Can't wait to flash CM 12.1 ,
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Sorry if I was a bit harsh. Not that I see a reason why anyone would use CWM over TWRP, but building CyanogenMod gives me CWM for free, so I'll be posting one anyway for those who want. :p

Bug when wiping "Internal Storage"

I know that wiping the "Internal Storage" is almost never needed, but trying to wipe it gives an error due to TWRP not being able to mount the partition.

How do I make this work with an XT1505 (global GSM model)?

Cheers
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Download fastboot and associated drivers

Boot your phone into fastboot mode (turn off, press and hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go). You will see a bootloader menu come up.

Unlock your bootloader using fastboot (you will need an unlock code from the Motorola website)

Flash this recovery using fastboot

Select recovery from the bootloader menu to boot it up
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filc0:
Thanks for the repetition, but that is not the issue. The device has an unlocked bootloader.

"fastboot boot twrp-otus-2.8.7.img" works

"fastboot flash recovery twrp-otus-2.8.7.img" does not work. the flash appears successful, but when trying to go into recovery after the flash, it just shows the battery charge status.

because the former option works, i was able to at least root the XT1505. but still no custom recovery.

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamharv:
Hi all,

Lately my eyes have been set on the galaxy s6 edge as my next phone, however I am somewhat concerned about all the issues I've been hearing about it. Having a look through the comments and threads, it would seem that there are issues in regards to scratches appearing on screens, dead pixels, the edge not responding correctly, bending issues, etc. Are these issues really that widespread, and would I be better off in just getting a normal S6? Unfortunately, from my experiences, phones are very hard to replace or get fixed in my area, so I really dont want to be stuck with a phone that has issues right out of the box.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanj:
I've got the edge and I have zero problems with it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimummind:
I've never heard of bending issues on the S6's.

As for my Gold Platinum 64GB S6E, it's perfect. No scratches, no dead pixels, no connection issues (Sprint), no weird battery drains.

Don't be afraid of buying the S6E if that's what you really want. If something is wrong, just exchange it at the store or get your refund.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamharv:
Well, its nice to hear some stories of where everything is completely fine. Are the defects a widespread problem, or has it just been bloated up to be bigger than what it actually is?

Also, I would love to just be able to exchange it, but from my experience they will just say its your fault and then do nothing about it or pay to get it fixed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
When you go to the store check it our really well in the store and when you get back to your car. Pretty sure you have 14 days. I have 30 days because of my discount on my account. If concerned about it wait a month or two. All new phones when released usually have some quality control and bugs. Also remember that the issues are blown up on here.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamharv:
Unfortunately we do not have a 14 day return day policy over here (would love to have one though). They usually give it to you in the packaging and once its opened its usually your problem, but I'll try opening it the moment I get it at the store so they know it wasnt my fault - hopefully if it is defected they will exchange it. And yes I did think about waiting a couple of months, but the carrier im on is currently offering an extra 2gb data free per month if you get it soon so I'd rather not wait!

I think I will just get the edge and make sure its not defected before I leave the store!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Hi, Let me assure you that if you read any forum on earth regarding any product manufactured you wouldn't make another purchase of ANYTHING, shoes, socks cars, hot water bottles, toasters etc.....

There WILL be lemons in all man made products. It is the nature of a forum where we come to generally moan and groan about what we buy. If you take it seriously or to heart you would never leave your house.

I am a complete certifiable tech junkie. I didn't need to go buy the SS6Edge. I still have a new IPhone 6, Sony Xperia Z2 and the Ultra. Not to mention a few others during the past year like the nexus 5. There have been stories about all of these devices, forums are full of negatives.

I have no doubt there will be S6 Edge lemons, there has to be in a production this size. Point is 99.5% will be fine. A tiny percentage will drive their owners to distraction, for me this came in the guise of an Asus Transformer some years ago. Considering the gear I purchase in a year though I really cant moan and you should buy what you desire with confidence. Buy from a decent retailer with a known reputation who will refund or replace IF a problem is found, now that is a genuine concern more so that what we buy but from where we buy it.

Such gear is not cheap. I am sincerely questioning my own sanity this evening after realising I have paid out 1100€ on a mobile phone, THAT worries me. :silly:

If you are of a nervous disposition keep well away from these forums or consider some facts. There have been sales of the iPhone 6 in the millions world wide and the bendgate silliness has proven to be just that, silly.

Please don't flame me if you are one of the genuine unfotunates to have bought a lemon BUT that is what they are, an exception to the rule.

Kind regards, Ryland

i have the edge i gold all seems good here little bit slack home button but i like a bit movement lol just to think i bet there has been a few million sold all ready of the s6 edge and about 2% of people are having problems which is not very many when ypu think about it
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonwind:
Scratched screens and pink discoloration issue is far more than 2%!

there is 1000s and 1000s of people who don't know what xda is or what its for just cause there is a few people on here with problems you think it means that there is loads lol there has been **** loads of the s6 edge sold but you just go of the minority that have posted about it notice how many people have not posted people only moan when some thing is wrong not when there device is fine
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonwind:
Many people have the problem but don't even notice it. There are random people on Youtube who have the pink screen problem and they don't see it. Ignorance is bliss.

There's no way the problem is 2%.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikerdj2011:
so lets say they sold one million for instance 2% is 20.000 units no way is there 20,000 people in that thread lol

and it seems to be affecting the black version and not the white or gold so that so it does sound plauseable that there 2% of over all sales of the handset not just on the colour could be a bit more than the 2% of the black handset sales could be closer to 10% as it is affecting black version and seems a bigger seller
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
May I respectfully ask how and where you arrive at the number 2%?

Hey for those who have purchased a faulty mobile its not a joke, not at all BUT seeing as the unit was released in America on the 10th? in some European countries on the 17th I would suggest it would be absolutely impossible to arrive at any accurate figures regarding faulty devices.

There is wide spread shortage in Europe as Samsung Europe just cant get the stock to ship out to the stores.

I would like to know how you researched this figure of 2%? The importer in this country is in such disarray due to demand they don't even know yet accurate figures for sales especially returns.

Before I am accused of being some sort of Samsung fanboy I have only returned to Samsung after my last purchase of the Note 3, now how long ago was that? I went Sony also Apple. All three have threads on this very site full of scare stories and some genuine horrors.

May I suggest you don't use unsubstantiated guess work to support some theory that as yet cannot possibly be quantified or known.

Ryland
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonwind:
I was quoting the 2% estimate from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60203785&postcount=12

For the record, I don't believe it's 2%. Scratches is probably 30% and pink screen is probably 50%, but many won't notice it.

We have a poll for scratches, should start one for pink screen as well, and that's an issue with regular S6 too.

Hello.

I managed to corrupt my efs file when upgrading from one blisspop to another. My GPS wasn't working so erased modemst1 &2 which lost my imei and baseband.

After several hours of trying I managed to downgraded to CM11S 44 and get my IMEI and baseband back.

When ever I change ROM now it seems I don't have a signal, and when I am on 44S I don't get 4G or a reliable signal.
