[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rudolph098:
So i have the At&t Htc one m8, which i converted to GPe and i wanted to go back to stock. I wiped the phone clean, re-installed the stock boot-loader for the phone. Right now i can't go forward and i can't go backwards.

the Boot-loader is locked, S is on (S-On), i have no Os and no Recovery. its the perfect trap. Please what do i do..

Also i tried using At&t's RUU for the phone. and i keep getting a model id error.

Thank you
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZeRo2o9:
Your getting the model id error because you have the gpe cid and its looking for the AT&T version. Change your cid in fastboot and the at&t RUU will flash
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rudolph098:
that was the first thing i did, i changed it to At&t's cid (CWS__001) before i tried using the RUU.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Did you change the MID also? CID and MID are two different things. Its clearly telling you the MID is wrong.

Also, once you have achieved s-off, I don't personally recommend ever making it back to s-on again. As long as you are careful what you flash (device checks are bypassed with s-off) having s-off gives you much more ability to not get painted into a corner.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you don't get this fixed I have a Java card that can be used to turn s off regardless of os installed. The catch is you'd have to send me the phone for a day or two. So if you get stuck, you have an option.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rudolph098:
Send me your address

Please, send me your address. The idea of getting a new phone isn't very palatble right now. Please Hurry!!!!!!!!!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rudolph098:
Going a little further.

Sorry i hope i am not imposing, but if you can even go a little further as to flash Andrioid 5.0 or 5.1, i don't mind paying your effort. please reply ASAP.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00437:
Hi, is there a way to enable bootanimation.zip support on stock tw lollipop ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
In simple language, no.

At one point, rumors were that Samsung was finally ditching the QMG container for Android 5.x and going with standard ZIP files. This isn't the case. The QMG format is still required, meaning none of the bootanimation.zip files out there, including my own, will work on Touchwiz without being recreated in QMG format. Note that I say "recreated" and not "converted", because each image in a QMG file must be at full size. In the case of my boot animation, that would mean the QMG file was some 300MB in size.

Too large for a QMG.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagman96:
I have a VZN G2. I got it a few months after it hit the market and rooted it a couple days later. The dev community is quite good. The LP builds based on the stock LP kernal have solidly improved stability over the LP ROMs based on the JB kernal. The VZN G2 seems to be inherently less stable than the other variants. I have been over all quite happy but would love to have an unlocked bootloader. Now I'm considering the jump to the G4. I think the G3 dev community is likely to be a lot more like the G4 community so i would like to know how the G3 dev community is, how long it took to get root and custom recoveries and whether the dev community for T-Mobile variant makes it worth it to change carriers (I still have unlimited data on VZN). If the T-Mobile G4 variant has an unlocked bootloader I suspect it might get better development than the G3 since it has a removable battery and SD Card and the screen and camera are so much better than the M9. Please give me your input and opinions. Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagman96:
BTW I'm comparing against the M9 because it also has a Qualcomm chip and historically has unlocked bootloaders, a great dev community but the M9 also has a small battery with the power hungry 810 but a lesser demanding screen. I doubt the S6 dev will be great due to locked bootloaders and not having a Qualcomm chip. Maybe I'm wrong.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagman96:
I'm not a gamer so the more efficient 64 bit 808 chip is enticing and I love the idea of the G4 screen, camera, decently sized removable battery, SD card and leather back. I just greatly desire a solid dev community and an unlocked bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhli:
I was using my Galaxy S4 when it suddenly froze, then rebooted itself. Now, it is telling me that my password is incorrect, even though I am 1000% sure that I am typing it correctly.

I have typed it over and over, to the point where it now says that if I fail to type in the correct password 5 more times, all of the data on the phone will be reset.

I think the issue might be related to me having updated to Android Lollipop about two days ago. This is the first time the phone has rebooted since I updated to Lollipop. Could something have happened during the update? Or did Lollipop change my password?

I have attached an image of what is shown. (The part I crossed out is my name. Also, I am not actually German, but I bought this phone from a German website.)

My phone is encrypted, which I think is the reason why the password screen is gray instead of my regular wallpaper. I have not changed my password in over a year, and have typed it in dozens of times. I am definitely typing it correctly.

I have already tried resetting the password through the Google Play Android Device Manager, to no avail. My phone is listed, but neither "ringing" nor "locking" the phone do anything, probably because the phone is encrypted and therefore does not connect to the internet before the password is successfully entered. When I try ringing/locking, it says that the "reset was successfully sent", but nothing actually happens to the phone.

Plugging the phone into my PC over USB also does not work. Windows shows that it is installing the drivers, but the phone is not listed in 'Computer', again most likely because the phone is encrypted/locked by password.

Any ideas how I can either get this phone unlocked, or my data recovered?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noumanahmad:

Hello,

I just rooted and flashed a new ROM via TWRP recovery, everything went very smoothly until the Language Choosing screen comes, the time i chose language and press NEXT, the screen turns off and everytime i have to take out the battery and then the phone turns off, otherwise screen is off but the phone keeps on working.

Thanks in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan Legionnaire:
I tried to flash latest rom from Asus website to my new Zenfone C because it had a weird issue, it came the user interface in taiwanesse, but when trying to change to english, it stayed in taiwanesse, so I wasnt able to setup it in first place.

Then, it came to my mind to flash the latest rom, and I used this guide in absence of a Zenfone C guide for flashing:

http://en.zenfoneasus.com/zenfone-recovering-returning-stock-rom-downgrade-clean-update-guide/

I did all the steps listed there first, and then tried the steps but with the red marked steps, flashing the dnx and ifwi also, no result.

The problem is that now im stuck in a bootloop, and cant advance from there, the Asus logo stays there forever.

What happened during flashing is this:

When I sideloaded the update.zip containing latest rom from Asus website, it said:

-Installing update

-Device image SKU: ww

OTA image SKU: WW

and suddenly after that it restarted, showed a huge Intel Inside logo that I never saw and then went to the dead android image. After waiting a while, the phone restarts, this time only showing the Asus logo with the Intel Inside logo beneath it (not the Intel Inside logo only that I mentioned earlier), and stays there forever.

I dont know what else to do, I dont know if Im doing something wrong.

Hey Spartan!

I was searching online about nexus 5 to buy one but I found something else randomly in an Indonesian blog and was able fix my phone! :D Hardly took about 15 minutes :cowboy:

I will be posting the solution soon... I hope you are still in need?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan Legionnaire:
I still need the fix man, I will really appreciate the posting of the solution! :D thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkdevta:
The Fix!

First Download: -

USB Drivers: http://www.asus.com/in/Phones/ZenFone_C_ZC451CG/HelpDesk_Download/

Asus Flash Tool v1.0.0.11: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cZB2l2IKlKMENKUWlVaHJ3ZHM/view

Signed Rom zip image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__oiYlSY-brdHFWMy1OWXNrajg/view

The Process: -

Get your phone to boot into fastboot mode by pressing [vol -] button and power button simultaneously for few seconds.

Connect to your PC and install USB drivers if not done already. The phone should show up as an "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" in the Device Manager.

Now, open ASUS Flash Tool :-

[IMG="ASUS Flash tool v1.0.0.11"]http://i.imgur.com/TSnSEwy.jpg?1[/IMG]

It should detect your phone with serial number and blue orb in front of it.

Select your phone model i.e. ZC451CG

Choose if you want to wipe data or not. I chose "Wipe Data" since I had everything backedup on asus web storage.

Click that box icon and browse for the signed zip image file you downloaded earlier.

Select your device on the ASUS flash Tool by clicking on the serial number like shown in the picture below.

( It had me scratch my head after one failed attempt because I didn't select it the first time! :silly:)

[IMG="Select the device on the ASUS Flash Tool"]http://i.imgur.com/2B4qEEw.jpg?1[/IMG]

Click on the green start button, be patient, stay calm and cross your fingers. This could take 10-20minutes or so.:fingers-crossed:

If everything went well your phone should bootup to the welcome screen like the day 1 you got it. ;)

Now, the zip image is quite old so after the initial setup the phone would prompt you with lots of system and app updates. Go with it and enjoy! :victory:

Lastly, don't be shy of pressing that " :good:Thanks! " button if this post helped you. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkdevta:
Hopefully it should, I did it on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine.

The USB drivers you download has Windows 8 drivers in it. I think that's all that is needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan Legionnaire:
Yeah, I will try it then, and report back, thanks again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan Legionnaire:
IT WORKEEEED!!!! :D I dont know how to thank you man!. Thank you so much, I was going to give up on this device!. Its working really well.

The only thing I came into trouble, was to install the USB drivers included in the Asus Flash Tool. I did the following (on Windows 8.1 64bits):

I disabled driver signature check first on windows.

I went to the USB drivers folder inside the ASUS Flash tool folder on Program Files.

I went here C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller\devcon\x64

On that folder, there is a program called devcon.exe, right click on it, and select properties.

On compatibility tab select Run as Administrator, click ok.

After this, reinstall USB drivers by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller and here execute install_drivers.bat

Thats it, the phone now should be recognized by the Asus Flash Tool.

Those raw files are extremely difficult to find so if you pretend to have any of those phones i recommend to download. It works easily if you have fastboot. If you only have adb i did not saw working but i am trying.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

If you try to do that under adb they give a serial number mistake.

4 days trying to solve this bootloop using adb. At least one person here saved his phone with the raw links i found using google webcache in this vietnamese link so it was worth it. Looks like i will need to lose 40 days sending to Asus in Sao Paulo. What a hell folks, those asus firmwares are really crap. Set a great hardware for set poor software.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenangelguard:
Not on the jump program, I just have the basic insurance on it. Did not have to pay anything from what I was told. Bought the note 4 in March of this year and the issue followed not to long after but was hopeful in trying to find a way to resolve it but eventually gave up. I've noticed in store reps can very greatly. I would suggest using the online chat. It is what I did and just explained I tried the tmobile forum steps for the factory reset while on kit kat, then tmobile upgrade to lollipop, factory reset again, the focus will sometimes take up to two minutes to work, and not sure what to try next. The chat rep stated when they checked into it, there is a known issue for the note 4 camera and they can do a handset exchange.

My recommendation when chatting with them online is to be nice, courtesy, and let them take there time

I thought only att did that. I really don't want to get rid of my note 4 negate I freaking love this phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcflame:
In my experience, I think there's a defect with the Note 4 OIS camera where the camera gets physically stuck the longer you own the phone. when mine gets stuck, giving it a light flick/smack against my hand makes the camera focus again. I had this problem with my original note 4, as well as a replacement note 4 that t mobile sent out to me. It's inconvenient but at least you can make the focus work again by smacking the area around the camera
