[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyres:
root with locked bootloader, fw 23.1.A.1.28 debloated by serajr, the phone is dead, I can't access the recovery and when connected to PC it doesn't get recognized.

The flash randomly flashes red or red+green+red, if I press the volumeUP button the led becomes blue (but still won't get detected by PC Companion, FlashTool for PC (Emma), Sony Bridge or FlashTool for Mac.

As soon as I unplug the phone, the notification led shuts off, as if the phone has no charge whatsoever.

When plugged to the wall charger, the screen turns on and either shows a battery (screen size) with a red stripe on the bottom and the lightning in the corner, or it gives a little vibration and shows the xperia logo (it looks like it's booting up), then turns off and repeats it in a loop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumangoyal:
I have Nexus 5 phone which was not turning on a few days back. I kept it aside so that battery drains fully.

Now when I turn on the phone, it is on Google Logo Boot-Loop. When I press Power and Volume Down, I can boot into fastboot mode.

In fastboot mode, the device says it is locked and i send the following commands:

After this, ideally the bootloader should be unlocked, but the phone still remains in boot loop and when put into fastboot mode, it again shows device is locked.

I don't know what all is happening. Is there anything I can try now? Even fastboot boot recover.img is not working as phone boots into custom recovery for some time and then reboots automatically.

Same here. Rebooted a few times since then, didn't re-occur, and everything seems to be working fine as well.

When it happened, it was the second reboot after the 2.18 update (where I still am now), so it may have something to do with that. 551 model, 2GB WW variant.

Looking to get a 4gb sd card for my IIs, I heard that the transcend 4gb sd works fine.. I also heard that I need a card reader to format it..

Doing a search I found that there is software that can turn the IIs into a card reader, which would save me buying one, but I can't find the name of the software.

Can someone give me the name of a piece of software which turns the IIs into a card reader...

Thx.

How would I go about installing this? Can I use the usual fastboot method that I use for TWRP? Are there any provisos?

I've already installed the stock ROM to have a play, but I notice upon doing an extra factory reset from inside the MOJO that TWRP pops up to format the /data partition. This is cool but I want to remove it and return the device completely back to stock for now. Any advice much appreciated. :)
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
NVM, going back to CM 12.1. Just prefer it across the board.
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
BUMP!

Can anyone hep with this? Unfortunately I think, considering the recent activity on the forum, that sadly the MOJO's time may be up and I need to move on. Spent a LOT of time getting things working nicely, only for Google to screw it up with their recent updates bringing my beloved box crashing down in spectacular and heartbreaking fashion. Nono2lozere is doing his best but has already pretty much said the box isn't going to be much good running his OS. Enough's enough - maybe I'm overreacting but I've put a lot of time into the box already to find it is still nowhere in 2018 despite my hopes. Time to move on.

I can flash the stock OS just fine (over the top of Remix OS) but cannot restore the stock recovery downloaded above. I'm using Linux (Mint) from the command prompt after I cd into the mojo superboot folder as I've done many times. I have adb-tools installed as always. I extracted and renamed the file to recovery.img, but on trying to flash it nothing happens. The command prompt seems to be working but it doesn't move for ages, compared to flashing TWRP which installs in seconds.

Can anyone offer any help with this at all? Many thanks.
[M.O.J.O. General] EdoNINJA93:
There's an easier way to flash recovery images using Flashify app, but you need to be already rooted...
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
I'll give it a go, thanks for replying.
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
Sorted. Looks like I had the wrong file. If anyone needs it, the one attached below works just fine. Just extract and rename it to recovery.img, then flash from adb connection via your PC. I used a Linux based laptop to do this. I've since factory reset the stock OS from the MOJO, and it reboots to the stock recovery and resets as it should with no TWRP installed now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VctrSll:
Hello everyone!

Android Lollipop introduces the USB audio class support. According to the documentation, it includes audio playback and audio capture: "Android detects a compatible USB digital audio peripheral, and automatically routes audio playback and capture appropriately". (source.android.com/devices/audio/usb.html#hostApplications - sorry for the link, as a new user I can't post external ones)

I tried this feature under a Nexus 5, and it works: if I play a music using the default media player, the audio is routed to the device. Likewise, if a send audio from the device to the smartphone, I can record it using an app like "Easy Voice Recorder" (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coffeebeanventures.easyvoicerecorder).

But everything doesn't work as well with a LG G2, running stock 5.0.2. While every sound are supported by the Nexus, only the ones with a 44100Hz sample rate are routed when using the G2. But worse, I didn't succeed in recording audio (from the USB device to the G2).

The first problem doesn't really matter, I can do with only 44.1kHz files. But I definitely need the capture feature, and I can't believe LG removed it within it's custom ROM.

Does anyone succeeded in audio capture through USB? Is that a problem with the audio file (sample rate, bit rate...)?

Best regards,

Victor
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VctrSll:
audio_policy.conf

Hello everyone,

As the documentation says, this feature is enabled in the "audio_policy.conf" file, and here is the one from my G2:

usb {
outputs {
usb_accessory {
sampling_rates 44100
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_ACCESSORY

usb_device {
sampling_rates 44100
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_DEVICE
}
}
}

There is no "inputs" node, that's why the audio is not captured. I'm gonna try to edit this file and I'll let you know.

Best regards,

Victor.

I use Tasker with Kitkat 4.4.4 on my Z3C. I have some tasks to enable/disable Wifi when in or out of range. But Tasker doesn't switch Wifi on or off everytime. Sometimes it seems that Tasker skips one action in task. I've appended two screenshots from simple task and running log. At time the task was executed, Wifi was off already, but Tasker doesn't switch it on (a note: on screenshots Wifi is enabled, but on execution is was off). But why? Also, there is a task to switch off Wifi and Tasker also skips this action in task sometimes. I haven't found a reason why action is skipped sometimes and sometimes it's executed. This is really, really annoying.

Can anyone help?

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I started thinking to root my Moto G 2 but I still want to run on stock kernel & ROM. We are still waiting for the update to Android 5.1 and I was wondering if I could get the OTA safely with a rooted device. If not, I would wait for the official update and after this I'm going to root it; otherwise I would root it now. Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arshid Vinod:
I think you should wait for the OTA update and root after the update.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
If I understood it right, [MENTION=6657294]luke![/MENTION] wants to run stock rom after rooting. So there is absolutely no problem to boot into TWRP 2.8.5.0, make a nandroid backup and flash latest superSU from there. OTA just cares about custom recovery and changes in system. So when an OTA arrives just restore your nandroid backup or revert the changes you made like unfreezing systemapps, uninstalling things like adaway and there will be no problem to install OTA.

Even if you flash twrp instead of booting into it,you can easily flash back the custom recovery. As long you stay stock this is all an easy thing. And also after flashing a custom rom there are ways to get back to the original firmware. [MENTION=6657294]luke![/MENTION]:If you need any help pm me.

Hi!

I just flashed MIUI v6 for the Oneplus One yesterday and I also flashed GAPPS, no problem, it all booted up fine and seamed to work just fine until I tried to install an app from the play store, I've tried many "fixes" and many different GAPPS-packages but all of them give me the error "Failed to download APP_NAME. There is insufficient space on the device." It seams to be an error in the DownloadQueue from what I can see from the logcat, I'm not that familiar with logcat and reading those messages but I though I'd give it a try, anyway the logcat is attached.

I really want to ues the MIUI rom as it's great looking and seams to be working really smooth otherwise. Oh, I have about 16 Gb free on my device so I'm far from using all the 64 Gb and having to little space.

I tried flashing stock 5.1.1 odin, 5.1.1 bootloader/modem, etc. Can't get past this to get into recovery or boot the device. Any suggestions??

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
I was running the G925T (edge) leaked 5.1.1 rom ([5.1.1][ROM][TW][OE6] Blck/TW), which worked well for the month that I used it. I had TWRP from that thread installed as well (I think it was 2.8.6.x). Everything was good at this point.

Where I am now:

When I power the device on, it says:

KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.

When I try to enter Recovery, it says:

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.

What I did to get here:

SHORT VERSION - flashed latest modem and bootloader for G925T (edge) via Odin.

LONG VERSION

Last night I attempted to flash (via ODIN) the G925T bootloader, modem, and TWRP for this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467

G92xF(D)/T Galaxy S6 Universal Odexed Pure edition ROM

Based on the latest Samsung Stock G925F XXU2BOFJ Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware (Base build date: 20-JUN-2015)

NOTE: I didn't ever get to flash the ROM because the trouble started when trying to flash the bootloader/modem via ODIN.

- Odexed Pure Edition: Odexed & 100% original/Stock files!

Steps followed:

Do exactly step-by-step the following things:

- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)

- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)

- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]

- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)

- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model

- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model

- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)

- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)

- Click on the Start button

- Wait till it finish flashing.

- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing.

<--- device never rebooted because ODIN said Failed instead of Successful.

I then tried to flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 (link below) since maybe that had to be flashed before the bootloader/modem, but it failed too.

Links:

Odin 3.10.6

DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555153

5.1.1 Modem: G925T-UVU2COF6

You also have to update your TWRP to the latest version (2.8.7.1 or newer) when flashing this.

Is there a file I can Odin flash to disable FRP Lock? I can't boot up to turn it off.

If not, what are my options from here? Any way to preserve SDCARD or even /Data?

If all else fails, what Odin file should I flash to get back to stock?

EDIT: Regardless of what I try to flash in Odin (recovery, kernel, TWRP, modem), it begins the process but then fails because the phone states "_______ is not SEANDROID enforcing" and states FRP lock is on.

SmartSwitch isn't detecting my phone (although Odin does). What mode should it be in? I can get into Download Mode, but that's about it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Your biggest problem right now is getting past FRP / factory reset protection, the only way to avoid this would have been to turn on bootloader unlock in "developer options"

OEM unlocking.

The security system is protecting your phone from you.

You need to be able to smartswitch back to stock but since your device status was not official, custom after running odin, root or anything else you may have done with root, smartswitch won't recognize your phone.

Without "OEM unlocking" on, the phone will turn on you.

The purpose of this security is to prevent your lost or stolen phone from been modified in any way and activated with another carrier.

Maybe tmobile has a procedure for returning phone back to normal.
