[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jirik152:
Hi there

I'm pretty new with my alpha, cause before i've had only xperia devices (from xv till z3) and i dont have any experiences with flashing on samsung devices.

Anyway i'm going to my questions. Is there something like bootloader which i have to unlock before flashing any mode ? I've read something about g fix could you provide me a link. Do you have any suggestions what to flash i'm still on 4.4.4 and i think after my experinece with lp i'm not going to update soon ?. So do you know any good stock based rom with good battery life and such a good ported stuff?

Thank you for everything my lovely xda comunity. I apreciate every answer and help !!

PS: my model number is g850f
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Yoe Lay:
You dont need to unlock your bootloader like sony xperia.

Do you want 4.4.4 rom or lolipop rom ? I don't clear about it.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cynox_:
Hello together,

i'm experimenting with my Z2 (CM12.1, Sony Firmware, whatever) and everytime i get this "CM Recovery" which has

really little functions. And everytime I try flashing XZDualRecovery with the installer and manually with fastboot, but

when it reboots, i get this CM Recovery again. The only solution i found yet is flashing an old Sony Firmware with

Flashtool and rooting it again but thats really complicated.

Does someone know how to solve this? I also searched on the Internet, but most times i get CWM Recovery, which

is the same for Google :eek:

Thank you for your help in Advance!

EDIT: An example for what i mean: I tried CM12.1 today but i forgot to make a Whatsapp Backup, so I wanted to

restore my old Firmware again, but theres no such feature in CM Recovery.

I think it may be my computer, but it has worked before. Can anyone help me with a way to fix this, or suggest some other software for my to sync my movies with?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powered_By_Linux:
Hello all,

I have a Nexus 5 that I bought through FreedomPop. The phone comes unlocked, but FreedomPop says that I need to deactivate my phone and unassign it from the network by contacting them. However, I was under the impression that if you did a reboot you can swap SIMs at will. I'm going to Europe for a few weeks and I was planning on popping in a SIM from a local carrier, but I don't want to permanently cancel my service with FreedomPop. I've heard a lot on forums and stuff of people just swapping SIMs whenever. Is this thing by FreedomPop only meant for a permanent switch? Can I just pop out my SIM, use a European one for a couple weeks, and pop it back in when I come back to the US, and no one will be the wiser? Or did FreedomPop put some kind of restriction on it (even though the phone is supposedly unlocked)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onurd:
The GSM part should be OK to use with another sim card once you're in Europe. You just cannot re-activate on Sprint's 3G CDMA network without deactivating Freedompop account first though (just in case you want to use the Nexus 5 on Sprint's network with a different account)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id09542:
I can't answer your question directly, but could you throw TWRP on, backup the ROM, then install the google ROM, swap SIMs, travel, and when back in the states restore the rom with TWRP?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powered_By_Linux:
So I won't need to reactivate my phone if I'm gonna use the same Freedompop account (and SIM) when I get back to the States? I'll only need to cancel if I'm gonna use a different number/carrier on Sprint? Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powered_By_Linux:
That might work, but I'd rather not void the warranty as the phone is still very new.

Hi everyone.

I hope that you are enjoying using your phone :D

Recently, 1st the water have reached my phone. Fortunately, the phone is still working perfectly. After maybe 2 hours of the water accident it start pressing "power button" automatically and then restarting several times. It run out of battery then I've tried to turn it on using "Power button" it was not working. Any way, somehow it turned ON !!. Therefore, I've installed an app to use volume up instead of the power button.

However, 2nd thing it fall down and I got the screen broken, the phone still working but after that, it run out of battery and it has never back live again. nothing appears if I click volume up or down not even the battery logo.

What I notice is that, for the first time I've seen the green led lamp notification in my Nexus 6. Find attached a picture.

[IMG="my nexus 6 with green led lamp for charging"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/3/2/1/7/4/4/DSC_0003.jpg?key=ekUDl8p1ShiDgr9BmMWfHg&ts=1432073785[/IMG]

Please do you any idea that could help in turning ON my Phone ?! Thanks in advance.

It's long past due a trip to the rubbish tip I'm afraid.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
First of all, the worst thing you can do after water damage, is to turn the phone on. I strongly suggest turning it off, and taking it to a repair center immediately. It needs to be placed in a dehydration oven and then inspected and cleaned by a tech. Water damage is serious and the effects can continue to arise after the initial penetration. Circuits can continue to short out and corrosion will form unless properly cleaned.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Most likely, however, after rereading your post, the phone is already fried and you would need a new motherboard or complete replacement.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Best thing to do with water damage is to turn off the phone ASAP and let the phone dry in a bowl of uncooked rice for about 2 days.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackbladder:
Hi all,

Running kodi/Helix 14.0 sideloaded on my non-rooted fireTV.... With no other extras or addons apart from my network attached HD.

Using IkonoTV as my launcher.

all updates blocked via opendns.

I just wanted to know if it was possible to change the background wallpaper on the main screen...

I know I have to go to System/Settings and then to appearance then go to skin tab and then to settings....then the tab for "Background Options" then "enable custom Background".

Once I have done this I then go to "Background Path:" and this is where I get stuck..... It's been a real pig... because the only two options I have are "External Storage" and "Root Filesystem". It's impossible for me to be able to change either of these directorys to anything else. And believe me, I've tried.

I've tried adding my photos "under the main photo tab" on the main screen held on my external storage HD and I have no problem with that...

Is the reason I cannot change the background because my firetv is not rooted, (root is not possible, due to when it was produced).

I would really appreciate any advice or help on this, as I'm googled out, and I've given up looking at the amount of tube vids telling me how to install kodi...

Is it possible for me to use adbfire to add images to the firetv somehow?

Weird thing is, nearly all of the folders I have looked in within "external storage" and "root filesystem" are empty...

One good thing is that I managed to find a tube video showing how to update kodi on a firetv without loosing ones settings using adbfire, as I wanted to update to 14.2.

Thanks chaps for reading my help request... as I seem to be all out of luck at the moment. (wish it was as easy to change the wallpaper on my firetv as it is on my laptop).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33H:
Install ES file explorer on fire tv via adb. Link it to your dropbox or Google drive account. Copy photos to your cloud account using your PC. Access from fire TV using ES file explorer and download to folder of your choice.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackbladder:
Thanks for the info D33H...... cheers mate..

I have to admit, I did eventually manage to get it done by using adbfire, by changing the push folder to "sdcard" and pushing my photos that way.... not ideal as I would like them in a particular folder of my choice, but at least kodi can now see my images in "external storage"....

But I like the idea of using ES file explorer, so I might try it that way as well.

On a sidenote, is it possible to run kodi without ones internet on,..... I've tried but i only get a flashing orange light,.... would this be happening, because i have set a 4 digit code on my firetv.. (to stop anyone from making unnecessary purchases by mistake).

I only ask because if my internet goes down it would be nice to still be able to use kodi.
[Galaxy Tab S General] celticguardian11:
Does the Verizon Tab S 10.5 have the Snapdragon 800 processor?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab S General] droid fetish:
Yes
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
It is our blessing and our curse. Whether it is the chip or a combination of our different chip and locked bootloader, there is no way to root the SM-T807V just yet, or should I say I have not seen a way to root it without tripping Knox.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
The only reason it can't be rooted is because of the locked bootloader.

Kingroot is the only option for locked devices at the moment, but only works on kitkat.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
I hate to disagree with you but I tried to use Kingroot on KitKat 4.4.2 and it did not work. I tried both the PC version of Kingroot and the OTA version with no luck on KitKat.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I didn't say kingroot would definitely work. I said Verizon devices can't be rooted because of the locked bootloader, but kingroot only works on kitkat devices. Nobody here has had success on lollipop yet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Elbrin:
Fair enough. The reason I perhaps responded in the manner I did was because in another thread Ihad someone tell me that the locked bootloader made no difference and that Kingroot would work with the locked bootloader. Well as I keep saying Kingroot did not work with the locked bootloader regardless if I tried it on Kit Kat or Lollipop. Ieven tried it again last night and I keep getting the message screen telling me it failed but research info was sent with the picture of an envelope. I guess it also claims that they have received over 10k updates with info regarding devices on which it has not worked.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TangoQ:
I have a new Tab S 10.5 running stock firmware. It's not on a carrier and is just the wifi model, SM-T800 running the latest version available, 5.0.2.

Many moons ago, I had an early android device where I could get root privileges that didn't alter the OS or setup, but instead simply granted the user the ability to elevate their privileges to superuser status. Is this still a possibility or must a new image from a ROM be used?

Also, I was told that the non-carrier devices do not have a locked bootloader. True?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TangoQ:
After doing a little bit of homework, it seems that the answer is NO, that I cannot elevate my current user to root privileges.

Does that mean cf-auto-root will flash Samsung's stock recovery while simultaneously granting the user root privileges? Does that mean it will be just as if I'd bought the tablet off of the shelf, just with SU?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Yes! All cfautoroot does is run a modified recovery with a script in it and does not touch any of your data or wipe anything. It will be the same tablet just with root :) As always warranty will be void
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TangoQ:
Oh, so it doesn't even re image the device.

Can I take future OTA updates without breaking root?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
No. Any ota or Rom will wipe root.

Tbh I don't see the point in not flashing a custom recovery if you're going to root anyway.

Custom recovery is one of the most powerful things you can do to a device and can give you the ability to rescue your device if you mess something up once you get root.

It's no big deal to flash stock recovery if the need arises.

I'll keep this short.

I got a moto G 2nd gen from WindMobile in Canada (terrible carrier btw), it automatically downloaded the Lollipop update, which I didn't want.

Long story short, it's garbage. I've had the phone for 3 months and it was great, fast, responsive. Now with this update, it lags 2-3 seconds, it's terrible.

My option with the carrier is to send it to Motorola but they said they can't put Kit Kat back on the phone. Total garbage.

So I did some searching on here and signed up after the mass confusion.

My phone is the XT1064 version.

But it seems there are so many out there.

Am I okay to just get one from here?

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emiwonder:
Hello. First of all try to factory reset your phone, since you installed the brand new version, there are a lot of garbage in it. if this won't help, you can unlock bootloader and install Titan Prime ROM, which i am using right now. No lags, almost pure android, with no moto apps. To install custom rom you don't have to root your phone. BTW, got mine from Staples, did not notice any lags on Lollipop
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CindysD:
I did reset my phone and it keeps going back to lollipop. Battery drains very fast, opening app lag 2 seconds minimum, dialing lag is worse, 3-4 seconds.

Done with this, I just want the original kitkat that came out of the box or something similar.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CindysD:
So anyone give me suggestions for a stock xt1064 kitkat version that I can download.

I tried the ROM thing, not working out at all, my network isn't working, so I tried factory reset and it still doesn't work.

I guess a clean factory install would help.

Anyone? please?

I know that if you're on a 32GB version of this phone you may already be running out of HD space. Just wanted to spread the word that there is FREE android app (also Windows/MAC desktop version) called COPY that will give you 15GB of free cloud storage. If you use the referral code in my signature you can get an extra 5GB.

I have over 120GB worth of permanent free cloud storage by using the referral system!

One of the neat features that I use is that whenever I am on WiFi the COPY app will automatically start to upload any new photos or videos on my phone. It's super easy to download photos/videos you have saved on the cloud and is also easy to send a link to them to another person from within the app.

Just thought this info may be useful to those of you who are used to having an external SD card full of media and no longer have that option.
