Here is much faster alternative to the current Odin Tar that is hanging around. Not to diss anyone but putting an important file on a server that makes you pay for high speed access is LAME. This took over 3 hours to download from that server...

This takes you back to: G920VVRU1AOC3, Wipes everything! Like a new phone

Here it is on AFH.com

Fast for every one!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Latest Odin for this file....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
How to use!

Load Samsung Mobile Drivers

Connect Phone while in download mode (Hold Power, Home and Volume down to get there)

Unzip Odin to desktop

Unzip Odin Tar from post #1 to desktop

Open Odin

Select AP and load Odin Tar

Wait a few seconds (depending on PC Speed)

Hit Start then wait until its done.

Do NOT touch the phone while this is in process!

When completed phone will reboot to recovery, do some "stuff" then boot up fresh like out of the box new!

Having trouble ladies and gents. Hoping for help.

I am soft-bricked ATM.

I was running fine, rooted, and have paid for Flashfire.

I downloaded our friend scrosler's flashable rom with root and I somehow soft-bricked my phone on the first try. :)

So....I downloaded Odin and the stock rom from this thread, even got the latest drivers just to be sure.

no matter what I do, Odin reports: "complete ( Write) operation failed." and "all threads completed, (succeed 0, failed 1)"

Have tried it multiple times, even switched to S6 factory USB cord and moved around to different prts on my system, all are motherboard driven USB ports.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Cant get MD5's to match. Have downloaded multiple times, have tried multiple programs to unzip....no luck.

Never mind...was checking MD5 against unzipped file. Zipped MD5 is correct.

Going to try Odin again.

Nope.....Odin still fails.

Would love some ideas of what to try next. :)

Ok, you are failing on the very first step. Make sure you dont have KIES running on your PC, make sure you are in download mode and make sure you are using factory cable.

Let us know.

PS: Why didint you ask the same question in this thread: [Root/Guide] How-to Root (Simplified)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Never had Kies on this machine. In download mode (press and hold down-vol and button at bottom of face of phone, and power).

Screen is light blue and says "Downloading..." with a big down arrow. Of course, Odin doesn't see the phone until I hit vol-up button.....and I am doing that. Factory cable. Have tried it in multiple motherboard ports....not an add-on card. I have used Odin on my S4 from this machine without problems.

Any other ideas? Thanks for trying to help me. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Can I ask what version of Odin you are using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:

Hopefully the one in the OP but that is a good question as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitevilla:
In all my apps, I have added code to have my app verified on my web server. It's mostly for catching warez users.

I have noticed in the last few months several entries for some of my apps that originate from Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, USA. I figured they must have some staffers dedicated to validating apps for illegal content. I thought they'd use the Play Store to install the app in the first place.

I didn't think too much of it until a few days ago when I noticed that two of my paid apps were being used to access my web server yet the Play Store didn't register purchases for that time. This happened right after I published the apps (just a few minutes after).

I'm aware IPs can be spoofed but considering the apps were calling home even before the apps became available to all users (the Play Store has to propagane published apps around the world and that takes several hours), I have reasons to believe the apps were actually being sideloaded at Google.

Does anybody know anything about this? Google's terms mention nothing about Google being authrorized to sideload apps (much less paid apps).
[LG G Watch R] trmiv:
I just got a used g watch r from cowboom. It looks pretty much brand new but one thing I've noticed is that the Bluetooth range seems really short and spotty. For example right now I'm in my living room and the watch is in the kitchen on a table about 20 feet away with no walls and it's not connected. If I get back within 5 feet or so it will reconnect but it takes awhile. I also have a moto 360 and that thing will hold a connection all over the house. With the 360 I can be upstairs with the phone downstairs and it will stay connected. If I do manage to disconnect it connects very fast within range.

So is this normal for the g watch r or did I get a but device?
[LG G Watch R] thenag:
Think there might be something wrong. I can leave my phone at my desk at work and move up or down one floor and it will stay connected. If I leave my phone beside my bed, there's not a room in the house I can go in that it won't still be connected. It's rock solid. Sounds like there's something going on here...
[LG G Watch R] BostonDan:
I have found that these watches are finicky. I have seen the watch disconnect from Bluetooth every 5 seconds and reconnect almost immediately afterwards. It's annoying as hell.

If I were you, I would perform the following steps:

1) In android wear - tell android wear app on your phone to forget the watch

2) Go into settings -> Applications -> Android Wear and clear data and clear the cache

3) Complete factory reset of the watch

4) reboot the watch and start Android Wear and re-pair

Also, I have found some custom ROMs do not play well with Android Wear, so if you have a custom ROM, you may want to try a different ROM.

Good luck.

Cheers,

B.D.
[LG G Watch R] TML1504:
almost same issue for me: with my "old" gear 2 (tizen watch from samsung) i have a stable connection (voice calls working) through my whole flat, even if i'm downstairs it will maintain a stable connection.

since friday i own a g watch r, and it wont keep a stable connection for anything more then ~5m. if i'm in a different room >> no connection!

sounds like some g-watch-r have bluetooth problems?
[LG G Watch R] cydiamante:
Same here. The range is not the same as my Gear S. But the most frustrating thing is that when it disconnects, sometime it takes a few minutes to reconnect when in range or not at all!!! Were as the Gear S would connect imminently when it is in range again.
[LG G Watch R] FloydF:
I have only had problems when there is an update, and it clears after a few minutes. I expect it needs to update the watch and do a hotboot or something. After the wear update yesterday it was maybe 5 minutes before I could do anything. Normally I don't have any problems disconnecting and I live in a really old stone house, up to 36 inch thick stone walls, cell signal in front of windows and 3 Wifi APs to get coverage. I think it may be a bad batch, or software glitch. if forgetting and reconnecting does not help try a factory reset, or call LG.
[LG G Watch R] TML1504:
I'm still unsure if my watch is faulty or not - because the bluetooth range is really bad, especially compared with my Samsung Gear 2! I do not have a stable connection when I'm more then a few meters away... I did a reset of the watch and this changes nothing...
[LG G Watch R] sage_viper:
I've actually noticed a shorter BT range ever since the 5.1.1 update. Used to be able to walk around my relatively small apartment and stay connected on opposite sides, but now it'll often lose connection unless it's in a central area.

Pardon my ignorance.....what is CID, super cid, etc?:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vlodeck:
Country ID, prevents you from flashing unoriginal debranded roms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lordsmiff:
The effect is correct but, just to avoid confusion, it's Carrier ID.

As said above, it's to stop you flashing ROMs that aren't supplied by the original supplying carrier (T-Mobile \ O2 etc...) of the phone.

Look at HardSPL \ Olipro if you want to make yours SuperCID (which means you can flash any ROM from any carrier) but be aware it could have warranty implications.

Smiffy.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaacalich8401:
Does anyone have a flash-able zip or something for the Moto G LTE lollipop boot-loader. Other people's devices are working fine but mine has a weird horizontal line that indicates that my boot-loader isn't compatible with the ROM I'm running (android 5.1). Does the Moto G 2013 (No LTE) bootloader work on the LTE version? If it does work, is there anything it isn't comparable with? I'm willing to use fastboot or adb or whatever it takes to get the bootloader on there.

The Lollipop Bootloader for 4G / LTE Moto G will be included in the Lollipop OTA update arriving shortly. When a factory firmware image is available, that will also include the file motoboot.img - which can be flashed independently via fastboot.

I would strongly advise against flashing the non-LTE Bootloader on your phone. Messing around with Bootloaders is extremely dangerous; many people have have had to learn this the hard way and now have ruined phones.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x51:
Maybe a week ago I noticed that my lock screen started showing yelp advertisements for lunch and dinner.... I searched and found this ONE thread (http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/help/ad-lockscreen-t3104580)

After a little more research it seems HTC has made a deal with Yelp and is talking to others about advertising on YOUR phone screen. Did I misunderstand this? I don't see any outrage and I'm wondering why? Did I get it wrong, or have we just gotten used to being abused by corporations for their own gain that we don't even notice any more?

So after a recent update HTC decided to start advertising on my lock screen... sure, right now I can still disable the advertising on the lock screen. but I cant remove yelp from my blink-feed. My blink-feed is advertising stuff I don't want and I cant disable it!!! Again.. Maybe I missed something?? I cant believe after paying >$650 for a flagship phone that people are not freaking out over this. Nowhere in the settings can I find an option to remove Yelp from my blink-feed.

So, Am I part of some Beta test.. and the rest of you don't have this issue?

Did I miss some "off" switch to disable the ads?

Are the rest of you so used to having content shoved in your face that you don't even notice?

Do you just not care?

At least Amazon has the decency to give you a discounted price on a device with "Special offers"

Whats the deal... I'd really like to know. Someone please tell me I have it all wrong.

**EDIT** Turning off "HTC Location Services" seems to stop Yelp for now.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
I don't have Yelp in my blinkfeeed nor anywhere on my phone, so no ads on my lock screen. Do you have a carrier branded M9 and if so, which carrier?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effortless:
Meal time bundle

This is not advertising. I believe you are referring to the meal time recommendations that pop up on the lock screen. Go to Blinkfeed settings and find "Notification on lockscreen", click that and uncheck "Meal time bundle" (which shows you meal recommendations nearby). There are people that find it an interesting feature, for those that don't, just disable it.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sausje85:
I thought too that he meant that, but he already said in his post that he knows he can disable that, but what he cannot disable is YELP advertisements in blinkfeed itself.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effortless:
Thanks for the heads up.. It's late and I did miss that. I'm not sure, I haven't seen that problem.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesegrits:
I'm pretty pissed about it. Mostly because there was no information from HTC about it. They just started showing up on my wife's M8 lock screen, and of course there was nothing in the lock screen settings about it, and as this was on "zero day", nothing showed up on Google. So I had no clue where this stuff was coming from, and it smelled like malware. Wasn't till the next day that search results came up, pointing to Blinkfeed as the culprit.

I suspect this is just the start of a movement toward "monetizing" the lock screen, as it's been blissfully free of ads till now, and is prime real estate for covering in ads to get in our face even if we don't unlock the damn phone.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x51:
Weather people find it useful or not is irrelevant. I purchased a phone with certain features and expectations, and you cant just force this type of intrusive advertising in my face to make a few bucks. I didn't sign up for that. It's one thing to sell the device like that from day one (I.E Kindle Fire). Then at least I could have made an informed decision to be advertised to or not. . I wouldn't, for example, complain about the ads on Facebook. They were always there. (And Facebook didn't charge me $650)

I'm all for new features.. and lots of people love yelp. This is not a bad OPTION, but this should have been an OPT in option. It shouldn't be an OPT out option, and it most certainly

under any circumstances

should

not

be a forced non-option.

I CAN turn off the lock screen stuff. (I.E mealtime bundle) But I don't see an option to remove Yelp from my blinkfeed. Sometimes when I remove a source from blinkfeed, the old posts stay until they get pushed off with new content.. I assumed this would be the same, but it was not. I kept getting yelp items in my blinkfeed telling me to try this or that restaurant.

I have the Developer edition M9. I'm running ARHD.

This is 100% with a doubt advertising. I dont have yelp installed, I've never had Yelp installed. I dont use yelp. HTC signed a deal with yelp, and rumors and leaked HTC images indicate there will be more coming.

So I see at least some of you don't have this issue?

Perhaps I'll try to delete data for blink-feed. Maybe disabling mealtime bundle didn't take? (even though the lock screen bit went away)

I also found that searching Google today indicated many more users complaining about Yelp in the blinkfeed than last week.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graycorgi:

Thanks Neo905

Turn off HTC location Services.

I must have left this on. I tried this and cleared my blinkfeed data. I have been yelp free ever since.

This is a ridiculous fix... and a half measure work around. I'm guessing there is no yelp because HTC doesn't know where you are. What happens when they decide to advertize things that don't require a precise location?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
Then you would have to turn off all notifications from Sense Home. This solution here makes sense because I never signed onto HTC Location services when I first setup the phone. However, I kept getting notifications to complete this, so since I also don't use the Home widget, I just went and turned off all notifications for Home, Settings> Sounds & notifications> App notifications> Sense Home> turn on Block. I only use Facebook in Blinkfeed and it still updates itself.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3x1s:
I have to agree regarding "Where is the outrage?" Everyone I know with an HTC One M(x) is outraged about the yelp ads on Blinkfeed, yet the internet is surprisingly quiet on the issue. Even at XDA, where I would expect to see some serious backlash, there is very little mention of it. Yes, we can remove them from our lockscreens, but it still frustrates me to see Yelp ads on Blinkfeed. I didnt opt-in for this, I payed for my phone, I'm am not under contract, and I pay for my cell service. I have owned strictly HTC phones since the original EVO, but if this doesnt go away, I will be switching to another manufacturer. I will not pay full price for a phone and my service and then have forced ads on my home screen. WTF are they thinking? And more importantly, where is the backlash from the owner community???

You missed an off switch.

Run the "setup" app again. Turn off the "give my precise location blah blah blah" and the other one. Now you won't get location based ads at all.
