Hi :) . My cousin has a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 . In Greece ( my country ) everyone has received Lollipop for almost a month now and he hasn't received it yet :confused: . I could update it by rooting but he doesn't want me to root it .... I tried searching for a new update by Kies and still nothing... The phone is NOT branded ( Verizon , Vodafone etc ) .

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mielletseed:
This is not a tutorial, I will not explain how android works or how to flash or how to root. I just want to explain what I did to get my S6 Edge SM-G925X working as a WiFi Phablet.

I'm not responsible when you do something wrong to your device and brick it!

Don't ask for fully functionality - the radio parts on the board are missing and so you will not get mobile calls or sms texts or 2G/3G/4G data connection.

Yesterday I got a S6 Edge LDU (SM-G925X) but was not able to really turn off the retail mode software (even with the right passwords found by google). PingPong root didn't work and CF-auto-root I didn't want to use because of tripping the knox flag :) (it would not really matter but I didn't want to)

So I decided to replace the ROM with a regular S6 Edge stock rom.

I went to sammobile and downloaded the oldest available German stock firmware for the SM-G925F since I'm from Germany. This version: G925FXXU1AOE3_G925FDBT1AODO_DBT.zip

I took the oldest one since I wanted to try PingPong root later again.

I suppose any other firmware should work as well but when it is to new, PingPong root will fail.

The *.tar.md5 file I renamed to *.tar and removed ALL files inside except these five:

boot.img

cache.img

hidden.img

recovery.img

system.img

I flashed the .tar file with ODIN 3.10.6 (3.9 or 3.10 didn't work).

After that I had a S6 Edge without any retail mode software :)

Then I used PingPong root to root the device and now I have all options and no annoying retail mode. Fingerprint sensor works good else I tested nothing until now.

Now I enjoy my new cool Phablet device but I'm not really sure whether I love the edges or not :)

I recommend you to turn on flight mode to save energy since the LDU has no radio hardware but the ROM is for regular S6 Edge and tries to connect to mobile network permanently. You can still use WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth.

Don't ask me to upload this or that or to explain it step by step. You should know what to do from what I wrote here ore leave your device alone! ;) (sorry noobs)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcliffs:
I just bought a S6 Edge LDU (LRX22G.G925XXXU1AOC6_LLK) off ebay in hope of getting rid of the Samsung Retail Mode and using it as a wifi device. I followed instruction that I can find on XDA, but mission has not been successful so far. Here's what I have done.

1. Trying to disable Samsung Retail Mode but failed. Password 5444 or any other passwords that I can find just doesn't work, even the menu in Samsung Retail Mode is different: There is no "“Configuration settings”, instead, there is "Store Settings" which asks for password. Without Samsung Retail Mode disabled, the phone can't be restarted nor power off, and the entire Developer Options is greyed out (which means no USB debugging mode, therefore Odin wont work when the phone is on).

2. Flash modified rom for G925F (G925FXXU1AOE3_G925FDBT1AODO_DBT.zip, with cm.bin and sboot.bin removed) succeeded, but the phone stuck at Samsung Logo page with no light on, it also seems the recovery mode is gone, only download mode is still available.

3. I flashed stock recovery for G925F, G925T with Odin. The flash succeeded, but the phone still stuck at Samsung Logo.

4. I tried to fix it with Smart Switch, but after entering model SM-G925X, then the serial found at the back, the program just close it by itself.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcliffs:
Have you disabled Samsung Retail Mode before you flashed the rom for G925F?

This doesn't work on my g925x. I think it's due to the Factory Reset is still locked by Samsung. It will give "MDM does not allow FactoryReset " message when I was trying to wipe data and factory reset via stock recovery. I was able flash a G925f to the unit which changed the baseband version and Build number to G925F, but retail mode is still there and running.

I also can't find a way to disable Samsung Retail Mode. The password 5444 or galaxy just doesn't work.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warpcoil:
After trial and error I got it. The demo version i had would not work with any of the passwords that i could find online. There were actually 2 part demo software on it. The only thing that i could get odin to flash to my g925x was cf_auto_root then i downloaded root browser from play store. Then i used root browser to manually delete all whole folders and files that had any reference to demo stuff. That pretty well wiped about 99% of it. Security settings still wouldn't let me do a manual restart, power down or do a factory reset. I still could not get odin to flash any other files until the other day when i found these files . https://www.mediafire.com/folder/79cjpyg0s604p/LDU_FIX . I then tried to flash AP and CP files and they both flashed woot woot (they are still the only ones that I can get to flash) upon reboot I could now do a full factory reset, power down, restart, etc... it has been wiped clean :) Hope this procedure helps. Let me know .
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35mt:
Thanks for that information. I was able to flash the ap and cp but still stuck on the Galaxy s6 edge live demo boot screen. i can't even go to recovery to do a reset. If i understand correctly, it's power+vol up+ home..it would just go directly to the galaxy edge boot screen.

When i use odin to flash ap and cp, it went successful and i was happy thinking that it will actually boot into lollipop. Bummer..

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Yes, rooting your device makes it less secure. It allows apps to access a lower level of your system than the manufacturer intended. But you usually have to allow root access to apps so if an app is requesting root and you don't know what it is, don't allow it.

What is the risk of LG system updates bricking the phone with the rooted Rom (and/or twrp) installed?

I'm asking because back in the day I had an LG optimus 3D (p920), installed Cwm on it and then ran a system update. That somehow permabricked the phone. Several people on XDA had it, and everyone agreed that nothing but a jumper cable would fix it. I couldn't get one, so I had to get it replaced with warranty.

I reckon LG has learnt from the amount of warranty replacements that one issue caused, but I have to be sure.

I`d just like someone to make full use of these cases. Most of the time I use them, But there`s a few I`ll just giveaway to someone who may need or want one.

As the title says... Beyond the 3 that shipped with the phone (Asphalt 6, Nova and Let's Golf 3), are there any other games optimised for the stereoscopic 3D feature of the Optimus 3D phone?

I know a 3D converter feature exists, but it doesn't always work right.

I had a look at the HTC Evo 3D list, looks nice for such a short-lived feature, but since the LG Optimus 3D uses a proprietary stereoscopic 3D API, I don't know how many of these are compatible.

PS: Yes, I know I am late in this. I just bought the phone second-hand for a rock-bottom price.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nty123:
Hey everybody i have a really tough decision here. I'm currently the owner of a verizon s5 (worst phone i have ever had). i still have the htc m7 unlocked and s-off. I love the phone but the screen is a tad to small for me now and the battery is horrible since it's pretty old. I'm in the market for a new phone and i don't want the m9 or the s6, My current choices that I'm thinking of is the Moto x (2014) or the m8 used. I like the thought that i can unlock the m8 and install custom rom but the moto x has near stock android. I can get the m8 in mint condition used for around the same price as the moto x brand new. Can anyone help me here? this is probably the hardest phone decision i have had to make.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] morr22066:
I purchased an HTC M8 on swappa and I do love the phone. But, it had already been updated to lollipop so I very limited on rooting it as the sunshine app has not 'Yet' been updated to work with the Verizon M8 on lollipop so I have to wait for it to be updated. Or you can find someone with a java card so you don't have to wait for Sunshine to be updated to work on the Verizon M8.

I'm trying to wait for the sunshine app to be updated and until then, I am running the Nova launcher, Adblockplus which works on WiFi and the Adblockplus browser for when I'm not on WiFi, greenify has some limited functionality without root and there are a few other options to help for now.

The Moto X is a nice phone as well, but you would need to get a developer edition if you want to root it on Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nty123:
I plan on doing the same thing you have done with the m8 (buy on swappa). but i have messaged a person about what android version is currently on it and he replied it has 4.4.4. so i can use the sunshine on that to unlock and s-off right?. as for the developer edition i don't think they have one for verizon. I am talking about the latest 2014 generation of the moto x.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] morr22066:
Yeah the sunshine app should work on the Verizon M8 running 4.4.4, but double check the xda thread to be sure as it's been a while since I read through it.

On Verizon Moto devices sunshine only works through version 4.4.3 on most of them. On The Moto X, I know the 2013 first generation had a dev edition but they may have done away with it for the 2014 second generation.

The HTC One M8 I got in swappa was like new for less than most of the beat up ones so I couldn't pass it up even though it was running lollipop. The really good ones at great prices go fast, so if you find one don't wait too long.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nty123:
Ok thank you for replying. So you think the m8 is a better choice? right know i'm leaning more towards the m8 there actually about the same price (moto x new and m8 used in mint condition). but the m8 will have custom rom capability so it will get android updates faster than the moto on a carrier network (i think). but on the build quality i think that m8 is superior on this one :) although not much different than the moto x. Are you liking your m8 so far even though you are dealing with htc sense, any regrets? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] morr22066:
I love Moto devices, most of my phones have been Moto, but with Verizon locking everything down I decided to move on to HTC, first the M7 which I really liked and now the M8. If I could afford a Nexus 6 or were on a different network I would probably try Moto again but for now since I am on Verizon I plan on sticking with the M8, it's a great device, the physical appearance and style, I love the build quality, the front facing speakers and the developer support.

I plan on trying the Google project ARA modular phone when it's finally released, but will be keeping my M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nty123:
Ok great looks like m8 it is :D
