[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisteroid:
Well, because you need a recovery to flash the pre-rooted zip, and to have a recovery you have to root first. ;) The pre-rooted SYSTEM partition cannot be flashed using Flashtool because it would not pass signature check. The only way to flash it is to use root access and a working recovery.

Edit: and that reminds me, if you have root but no recovery yet, install NUT's dual recovery first.

Hello, resiliently I bought refurbished LG G2 that claimed to be a D802 version. I disassemble my phone and find out that inside is D800 motherboard.

After the Lollipop update phones touchscreen is unusable and it do not read SIM cards.

So I found solution

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58536078&postcount=75

So can I flash D802 lollipop and then D800 KK kernel?

What tools should I use to do it? KDZ or CWM recovery or something else?
[G2 General] LazyG:
You need to write D800 tot, as described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

I had the exactly the same experience as you, and solved it
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
Do I need to unlock the phone after flashing D800AT? Or it will be sim free?
[G2 General] wulsic:
It'll probably be sim free just try it. If your phone is now simfree then it'll also be simfree if you flash that stock firmware, I suggest to take one unbranded. Some people sell the d800 as d802 to make more profit as the international model is more wanted. The d800 also has another digitizer/touchscreen then the d802 so that's why your touch didn't worked anymore obviously. But I wish you the best with your G2 and if your phone is really locked then you have to let it unlocked and or find out/contact about your simlock as I have no personal experience with that.
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
So I just need to download and flash by TOT method

this firmware and everything will be ok? sim free?

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/AT&T/
[G2 General] wulsic:
Yup it should be fine, about simlock I ain't sure but just try it. You are going to flash v10 that is jellybean. May I ask or you are also going to flash custom roms etc or just only getting it good bck to stock?
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
first I want to get it back with all its functions working.

then I want somehow flash lollipop.

I read that if I flash D802 firmware and right after that D800 kernel , everything should work , Is it possible to flash D802 Lollipop and after that D800 kernel?

Where can I download D800 kitkat? For TOT method?
[G2 General] LazyG:
It will be fully functional AT&T D800, mine is running lollipop by now

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtam:
So...my previous phone was motorola razr maxx xt910 with locked bootloader.

And there was nice app - bootmenumanager or safestrap, which allowed following:

have multiple virtual roms, and stock rom.

So when i had installed stock rom, with stock kernel i could also boot cm based rom which required own, cm kernel.

It was done by kexec.

Is it possible to have stock rom, with stock kernel, and as second system cm based, aosp rom like fusion or blisspop with own kernel witout needing to flash kernel on every boot?

[ZenFone 2 General] SBFarooq:
With all the speculation on the Snapdragon 810 breathing fire and the Lg G4's 808 subjected to throttling (as evident in the Asus ZF2 Vs Lg G4 video from Lb s on YouTube) I hope that the statements made by the Asus bigwigs to switch to SD from Intel Atom are back tracked and even Intel should continue with the ZF2 as a prime example for its performance where others are quite simply failing to deliver for the sky high price being asked!

your thoughts!?
[ZenFone 2 General] MrKoji:
I think i've watched an interview before where ASUS said they will make the next model packed w/ SD. Not so sure since I cant quite remember where I watched the video interview.
[ZenFone 2 General] SBFarooq:
I know about that interview and it is exactly my point, they shouldn't, I mean with all the evidence now pointing towards the dragon why tinker with something which isn't requiring a fix?
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
Hmmm a switch from Intel to SD 810 (as mentioned here) wouldn't be useful. Let's think about: All devices with SD 810 or 808 are in the highend category. Prices around 600 bucks and upwards.

We shouldn't forget that an ZenFone 2 is still midrange (regarding the price). So as long as ASUS isn't going for an high-end device, there is no need for an such a pricey SOC .
[ZenFone 2 General] lyeith:
the soc actually makes up a fraction of the total phone cost.. so a switch probably wouldnt necessarily result in the phone price increasing by that much (just take a look at xiaomi)

that aside.. the S810 is seriously a disappointment this time around.. and it would make sense for asus to stick to the atom for this generation
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
It surly is just a small amount of the price. But it is not a question of material costs. It's a dicision how to enter a special market segment. And that would be the high end class.

Even Xiaomi isn't cheap here in Europe. If you purchase the Mi Note Pro at the moment at a reliable shop and paying normal taxes, we are talking about 650 Euros. Galaxy S6 is here 730 (64GB) or 600 (32GB)...LG G4 for 650Euros. The M9 goes for 550 Euros.

There would be no need for ASUS aiming at price below 550 Euros due to not enough competition in this segment.

And that 550 Euros are nearly twice as much I have payed for my ZenFone 2.

The only manufacturer showing us how you could possibly go below that point is OnePlus. But I really don't want to wait on somebody who is kind enough to give me at least an invite to buy a phone...
[ZenFone 2 General] SBFarooq:
But I think of this situation slightly differently... Price being subjective, it's more about the quality that you would end up with... Would you in all honesty buy a flagship with a chipset used as an oven or pay half price for something which works right now.... The problem with ZF2 is going to be its own success ... The ZF3 would be required to out perform and outsell naturally but at what price .. If the current value stands at 390$ then I would want to see something in the area of 450/470$ .... No holds bared ... Mean machine

For the ones who can't spend 1000$ on a G4.. Let them have the S6/7 or M9 or G5s... Just give us our chance to geek out over a phone which doesn't require an arm or a leg to own!
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
True story. If i wouldn't say that price / value are well balencend on this device, i wouldn't have switched from my Note 4 (and earning money for using a phone for 3 months :p )

I think they will be capable to deliver a "new" ZenFone 2, whitch is able to outperform this generation in a year. At the same price range. We will have the a new generation of SOCs, camera sensors... and so on. And there will still be a "midrange" or the "old" high end. The only question is: Is ASUS willing to to do so?

ASUS is faceing a really hard competion in midrange market. Aspecially in asia. You have all the Jiyavu's, Siswoo's, elephone's, Xiaomi's, etc. And they all have quiet good price / value ratio. And nearly the same hardware.

For example: I could choose between a Jiyavu S3 Advance for nealy 300€ or the ASUS for 320€ (normal price with shipment around 390€). Differences 3GB RAM vs. 4GB RAM, CPU and Graphics power will be nearly the same in reallife, camera sensor Sony vs. Toshiba, both Dual-Sim, screensize / resolution and Mirco SD extension.

I choose ASUS because i got more RAM and a slightly better CPU for 20€... Would it be the normal price i maybe had choose the Jiyavu... (At the moment I ' m happy for going with ASUS :D).

Back to Topic. If ASUS wants to deliver more midrange phones, i think they will stick with Intel. Price / Value seems to be at a sweetspot. Only MediaTech is able to deliver kind of compareable hardware for midrange phones (there seems to be a reason why the MT 6752 is in nearly every new "Chinaphone").

If ASUS wants to build a highend device, well, SD will be an option also MediaTech. I'm not quiet sure what Intel got in there portfolio.
[ZenFone 2 General] Chinaphonearena:
This makes sense if smartphone tech wasn't rapidly improving and getting cheaper by the minute. By the time Zenfone 3 comes around, a more powerful SoC will be available at a cheaper price point.

On a side note, I've found the MT6752 based phones to be significantly snappier all-around than Z3560.
[ZenFone 2 General] Buk-Lau:
I do agree that going with a high end SD SoC means entering a different segment of market, but the current situation has changed, at least with 2015. SD810 is no longer the to-go SoC for a flagship.

qualcomm screwing up this year really means something for everyone else in the market. think about it, now that Sammy has debuted its in-house Exynos that successfully, how likely will they use a SD next gen? assume they don't screw up their design, not likely isn't it? look at HTC, they are slowly moving towards mediatek for flagships also.

It used to be that to be flagship you gotta have a qualcomm chip, but now that trend is slowly disappearing. qualcomm no longer has the reputation it used to have.
[ZenFone 2 General] SBFarooq:
But then again isnt Z3560 pushing around 80% of the processing power of the Z3580 right now, and all respect to MTK aside I think they have ventured on the "More Cores = More Power" route results of which are still awaited! I think Intel has gained a huge boost to their brand name in mobile tech and should carry their future chips (subsidized) with Asus to carry this wave over!
[ZenFone 2 General] SBFarooq:
Aha! but here is where Asus is ahead of the curve .... "Brand Recognition".... I agree 100% to the competition it might face in the Asian market but it would have a very much paved path in Europe and America as it already is an established brand in these markets due to its PC/Laptop ventures and thus a partnership with Intel (also a De facto processor for laptops) is something which already sells (Republic of Gaming anyone??) and would be easily presented in Zenfone.

Intel needs a way in the mobile market, and I think that if Zenfone sells anywhere near the target of 25Mil sets, the next phone might see even more subsidized support from Intel ... meaning better quality on a cheaper price and the winner is the buyer ... (If google doesn't flushes android compleatly down the drain like the latest updated which left some nexus 7 tabs bricked )!!!
[ZenFone 2 General] resident0915:
Only problem with Intel is the locked bootloader and being stuck on 32-bit Android :(
[ZenFone 2 General] lyeith:
bootloader unlock will come.. its just a matter of when...

and yeah the 32bit android is a letdown
[ZenFone 2 General] yakub234go:
what abt openness of the source code?

I don't really know how open source intel are abt there product

but we need open source codes so that developers can support zenfones
[ZenFone 2 General] hellbraker:
Why is 32 bit a letdown? Does this mean that being 32 forces you to underutilize RAM as in PCs?
[ZenFone 2 General] lyeith:
ram utilization isn't an issue cuz we only have 4GBs..

its the fact that certain instructions benefit from the 64bit mode.. and thats not counting the extra registers available too..

more to the point.. the device could perform even better :)

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

asus has already released the source codes on their website.. and i believe at least 1 person here has managed to compile the kernel..

the only missing piece is the bootloader unlock to flash it
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
When I take a look like a "normal" consumer, i wouldn't be intrested in how they achieve more power. If they develop a CPU with 100 cores, that wouldn't bother me as long as the power and battery consumption getting better.

Yes, the Brand name is quiet common in Europe and USA but as you statet for PCs, Laptops... They could make a use of this

but for example in Germany, we don't really have a big market for mid-range devices. The users here, change there phone when their contract is finished. So they get there hands on the high end devices for 150 € and cheaper (I know, prices for contracts are higher... but not many people are looking it that way).

So even if they have a name, without the right Phone they aren't able to sell many...

So whitch SOC would you choose? Nearly all big manufacturers showed theire Flagships for 2015. We have LG with SD808, HTC with SD810, Xiaomi with SD810, and expecting Sony with SD810, too

There are just a few SOCs at the moment playing in that Class... SD 808, SD810, MT6795 (still waiting for a real life test), Exynos 7420 (own League), Tegra K1 (just for Tablets).

And now it seems that Qualcomm fixed some things with SD810v2 it still is a player in that league. It would have been a big problem for Qualcomm if Mediatek had the MT6795 at the markets a few months ago. But that chance is over.

I hope HTC will go ahead on the MediaTek-Road.

I share your opininion regarding Samsung. Will be interesting if they are willing to share there newest SOCs with other companys. I would just give them my "last year version" and use the "new" just for my products or make it quiet expensive.
[ZenFone 2 General] Buk-Lau:
You seem to be missing an idea. yes, nearly all big OEMs went with qualcomm this year, but do they have a choice? keep in mind that OEMs design their flagship at least 1 year prior to their launch date, so whatever SoC they use, it's chosen long before it's out. Will OEMs be fully aware what potential problems the SoC will have?

don't take sammy's words for real, they were thinking of using Exynos regardless. they just waited for a chance when the SD810's heating issues got widely spread.

this year is already set in stone no matter what happens next, but what will OEMs consider now for 2016? sure qualcomm's next gen SoC seems promising on paper, but hey was there a time that the 810 didn't look promising to you on paper? that is something OEMs consider more carefully than before, since the days of just blindly taking qualcomm for granted is over with the 810. now that doesn't mean there won't be OEMs that will choose qualcomm no matter what anymore, it just means that qualcomm no longer is the only choice when it comes to flagships, and by then how do you know if others still don't have high end SoCs? intel has 14nm finfet with no 20nm interconnects unlike sammy ready to go, with this much power efficiency they can easily crank up their CPUs. mediatek has the helios 10 core thing coming out.

btw, the mi note pro also has overheating issues, the whole rev 2.1 thing is just marketing bs.
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
According to your statement LG planned one year ahead to use a SD808 and not the SD810 ? Seems a little bit strange in my opinion.

Did they have a choice. I think they had. Trust in MediaTek for example. Talk to Nividia. Talk to Intel.

Will OEM be fully aware of Problems?

No, but who do you trust. A Partner that delivered Cutting-Edge-SoC's for years (and maybe to give you better order conditions to keep you as a partner) or a company that had there first really fully comparebale generation this year (trying everything to get a grip at premium brands)?

It's going to be really interesting what 2016 will bring.

I really would like to see highend devices with SoC from Intel, MediaTek, Samsung AND Qualcomm.

Regarding Mi Note Pro: could you provide any further sources? Read about this but also got first Infos from (how i think trustworthy) resellers that they aren't facing problems during stress tests....
[LG G Watch] nikssims:
Hello, I am really depserate for a fix or answer about what should I do. I have been using LG G Watch for around 4 months now. It is all great and good, but it is super laggy. Unusable most of the time. I can open google fit properly without lag perhaps once a week. Right now as I write this. It takes around 2 seconds to light up the screen. Some 3 secons to open up the menu (the search thing under which all apps are located). And google fit takes around 3 secons to open it up as well. Ah, and it froze up. Great experiance huh? Reseting and restarting the device does not fix it. Would a custom rom make it run faster? What should I do?

Few things to note,

Paired with Nexus 5 (stock 5.1)

Watch version is stock 5.0.2

Apps that are currently installed from market on watch , (though I did some tesing and even deleting most of these apps does not fix the lag)

Wear browser

wear messenger

[LG G Watch] Le_Zouave:
I had the same problem while on 5.0.2, stock or rooted and in the end even with a custom kernel. So much lag that it took many minutes to reboot the watch (without the rear pin).

but since version 5.1.1 , it's like a new watch and no lag.

if you didn't received the OTA, use lg g watch tool

The version 9.8 will flash 5.1.1 if you choose to return to stock, anyway all the data come from the phone so you can reset it without any doubt.

my watch had some difficulties to be recognized on my main PC once in fastboot mode. I tried for 2 hours and the solution was to use another computer (but not all people have many computer).
