My Note 4 was running 4.4.4 kitkat and I just decided it was time to update the firmware to Lollipop 5.0.1. I made backups of all my stuff and downloaded the lollipop firmware from Sammobile.com. I put my phone into recovery and used odin 3.0.9 to install it. After it booted up it was working fine for a few minutes. Then i installed the CWM but i accidentally installed the wrong one. I have the note 4 SM-N910P but i installed the CWM for the SM-N15P. And i flashed it using BL instead of AP in odin. After it booted up I started having issues. The touch screen wont respond correctly. When i touch the screen it actually clicks around 1.5 cm diagnolly down to the right and sometimes it doesn't respond at all. After that I tried several options

Re installing the firmware full wipe - didn't work

Reinstalling the wrong CWM the right way on AP and then factory resetting - didn't work

Wiping it from CWM recovery mode- didn't work

Wiping it from settings menu - - didn't work

Wiping it from reg Recovery mode- didn't work

Installing an older version of firmware. (4.4.4 KITKAT)- when i did that it didn't even install, it was still running lollipop. - didn't work

Installing the correct CWM and wiping it from CWM and Stock Recovery - didn't work

So ive tried all this several times in different orders to no luck. I still cant uninstall lollipop or factory/hard reset it. Is there some other program or method i can use to fix my note 4 touch issues and reinstall the firmware for real.

Thanks in advance

Update: I am on the sprint network

Are u sure the problem is in ROM, not hardware issue
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rampency:
I can put it in Download/Fastboot mode, but i can't access recovery(goes to a google logo). All it shows when i boot up is the google logo screen. When in Download mode i tried using fastboot on a couple different computers and the Wug's nexus root kit(NRT) tool but in both cases it freezes when trying to unlock the bootloader, or trying to flash a rom with soft brick checked in the NRT. Is this the end of the line for this product? Should i just grab a hammer and smash the **** out of it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CrashMan2025:
Is your bootloader unlocked? I can't tell from the post. If it is you can still save it. Go to Wugs NRT then go to where it says restore/downgrade then check off soft brick/boot loop then pick a version of Android you want I recommend 5.1.1. Then check off where says automatically download. Wait for it to download and install.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
Depending on what you did, the most common reason for this kind of failure as reported by countless users is the corrupt emmc. It's not clear to me whether it's the physical partitions being irretrievably damaged, or for some reason the firmware prevents writing because in most cases, it happens when the user upgrades the software. Remedies suggested range from the ridiculous onward. Since it is hardware related, and the emmc is not serviceable, your only option would be to replace the motherboard if you really want to keep it. The upside is it only costs a fraction of a new tablet. I don't see the new Google line as much of an improvement worth forking out $300., but that's just my personal opinion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Benlardi:
How about this?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zphelj:
Perhaps try a different cable and/or USB port.

Also a downgrade to 4.4.4 from the factory image maybe as a test case. After being on 5.x for months my tablet suddenly can't run anything but 4.4.4 or below. Still trying to figure that out.

Thanks.

Anyone
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightspeeDLee:
get a different TWRP file, maybe the latest one. Go into Odin Dowload mode, choose 'AP' & the recovery file. press start.

make sure Reactivation Lock is off & USB Debugging is On. Turn Off any antivirus before u begin first, and close Kies3 if its on in the background.

Good luck

Hello guys.

Sorry for making new topic for stupid question but well, better this than "how to unbrick..."

I'm on stock 4.4.2 and rooted (more precisely 990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.GB) and my question is: will xposed framework work okay?

I just installed Xposed Installer (v2.6.1), downloaded some modules, but before Framewrok installation there is a warning about soft bricking, entering bootllops, etc... I'm quite noobish and not sure if this is fully compatiblile, thats why I wanted to ask beforehand if everything will be okay (:

Thank you for replies.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhdoubleoseven:
Hi all,

I think now that we have an unlocked bootloader and a working TWRP we should work on porting MultiROM over. With MultiROM it will make it much easier to test ROMs without having to sacrifice the current stock ROM. However, I am not sure on what I'd need to do to port this or how it even works... is there anyone else interested?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodongobongo:
Hi all,

I'm on CN-2.18.40.12 and want to upgrade to WW-2.19.40.18. I followed the guide in the main forum and flashed WW-2.19 recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img from fastboot, which went fine. After this I attempted to upgrade by placing the WW-2.19.40.18 OTA in internal storage, but the recovery complains about cache mismatch with ASUS Browser. Wiped cache, same story.

I figured I might as well just get a clean start and install full WW firmware, and so next I tried downloading the full WW-2.18.40.12 and upgrading by renaming and placing it in internal storage. Again the phone offers to install the update, however the recovery now complains that the WW-2.18 (May 29th) is older than my CN-2.18 (June 12th).

Any tips on how to proceed?

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice I was in the wrong section! :(
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
Try the latest prerooted rom? Alternatively update to latest CN, unlock the bootloader and once there is a flashable zip available for latest WW you should simply be able to flash it in TWRP.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodongobongo:
I ended up flashing WW-2.19 system.img from fastboot. Had to factory reset afterwards because gapps got messed up, but now it all seems to be in order. Thanks for the input.

Switching IMEI is illegal and it will work AFAIK
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langsalang:
I some how changed imei by downgrading DBE 5.0.2 to KK then updating it to BTU LP then installing simple rom. I didn't want it to happen but it did. Phone works fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m374llic4:
I am aware it is illegal. I am not asking how to do it, or if I should and not saying that I will. Simply asking if an imei can work on a different device.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m374llic4:
Where did the new imei come from? Not sure how that happened.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruguido:
Yeah, it can work on a different device, obviously don't do it.

The consequences can be severe if caught messing with the device's IMEI #
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langsalang:
As I said, not sure where or how but it changed it. I only realised it when I was selling it. This guy buying it checked the imei from the dialpad. And it didn't match the box or the back of the phone.

I installed BTU Lollipop for him before selling.

It was N910F European one.

Now I just got N910C Arab one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m374llic4:
Yes, I definitely will not be doing it. No worries. Disregard anything I said before, this is simply research for an emulator and android app I am developing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hurrian:
Qualcomm devices are prone to getting the IMEI corrupted, my Qualcomm Note 3 kicked the bucket that way after some custom ROM experiments. Exynos variants are much less susceptible to this, so I grabbed a N910C this time 'round :p

For those curious: Qualcomm NV tools can save your device's IMEI and CERT - these absolutely _must_ be paired to access a mobile network. You can backup and restore IMEIs this way, note that installing another device's IMEI and CERT pair is highly illegal.

Even Samsung repair shops don't transfer your old IMEI when swapping motherboards (because doing so would be a violation of the GSM spec) - they give you a new sticker!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m374llic4:
Well, by that logic, as long as you have the imei sticker, put it in your phone in place of your old sticker, and change to that number, you will be fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m374llic4:
If only there was a tool to do this. Can't seem to find any. Oh well. : (

Hi

I have a galaxy s 8.4 with lollipop stock rom (Saudi Arabia edition, for no reason other than it has the highest changelist value among XXU1 Roms)

I've tried activating and deactivating s voice but it makes no difference.

Anyone else try this?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PloaieVasile:
So I was at a concert and I recorded a 10 min video at 4K. When I got home and played the video I noticed that the right speaker is louder than the left one(both on my headset and my laptop speakers)... Is there a problem with my 2nd microphone or it's normal to have this volume difference? ( I also notice this difference in older recorded videos). Thx !
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goTouch:
When you are recording, one microphone points to one side (beside headphone jack) and the other microphone is facing to you (bottom speaker). So, it should have a little diference in volume when comparing left and right, but not too big.

To minimize this, make sure the phone is not wet and do not use a case that blocks the little hole beside headphone jack.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PloaieVasile:
Thx for the answer. The difference is not very high but it's a little annoying,especially on the headsets. But at a concert where the music is loud, thie difference should exist? The phone was dry and I'm not wearing a case

Noticing your Galaxy S6 battery is draining too fast? This thread can help.

Part of the problem lies within a memory leak which is a known problem that Samsung is aware of and is reportedly patching in an upcoming update.

The other issue is Samsung attempts to load everything into memory and run several services in the background as well as hard loading the phone with bloatware.

Here is how I gained 30% better battery performance. Guaranteed

*Prerequisites

*Need to be rooted for every tip to work.

1. Disable anything you consider bloatware

2. Go to settings then application manager and disable both ANT radio service apps. You don't need this. Causes massive battery drain. Google it if you don't believe me.

3. Go to the app store and download "Servicely" from Franco. Paid app but worth the money...trust me. (Need root)

4. Once in servicely add running services and apps to your hit list, choose start at boot and run hit list while screen is off.

5. Reboot your phone. Give your phone a full charge and see the difference

Attached is a screenshot of realistic usage. I was on a poor lte signal for 9 hours and conducted several calls and used my phone moderately heavy. As you can see i got through my entire work day and still have 6 hours left at moderately heavy use.

Remember, this is realistic. I could have shown you a screenshot showing 18 hours left after only using it 1 hour. What I'm showing is a legit 9 hours of usage. Before I made these tweaks I would be at 10% battery or less after nine hours of the same usage.

Post your screenshots after 24-48 hours and let's see how much you are saving.

Do you have a VZW Galaxy S6?? or are you using a TMobile one?

Without doing most of what you have on the list:

Didn't load Servicely

Did not turning off ANT which is a low power service used by heart monitors and other physical monitors

Did already disabled the apps I don't use and

did the deal with the google services/play but not much other than that.

I don't play games on my phone, but I do use it for business, calls, lots of messaging and keep WiFi on most of the time except when I am between locations when I turn it off. I only use BT when driving and keep it off normally.

All of which can be done without root, though I have rooted my phone.

YMMV but a lot has to do with what apps you do use, what you actually turn off etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bash_array:
Yes I have VZW. Use your phone for a few days and you will start to see battery drain due to the memory leak primarily and your load of apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
I would recommend that you clear your cache in recovery. Based on the ss you posted your standby drain is high. Check the battery thread or pm me if you have questions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
Its kind of like who cares?

There are 24 hours in a day and I sleep at least 7 hours of that. The screen shot shows it is 6 in the evening, the phone has been on for just under 11 hours and it still 53% full with an estimated 12 hours left. Even if I am up for say another 5 hours or so, I will still have another 4-5 hours worth of power easily and since I sleep with my phone on a charger every night I won't run out.

On top of that I have AC powered chargers all over the place, in my home office, by my recliner in the living room, in my office at work and even in my truck where I have a two port USB charger with 2A each which is better than some AC chargers. That is in case I really start using battery power for some reason and need to recharge sooner than once a day. All of which was purchased when I had my Note 3.

The costs to get into this phone has been one of the lowest of any phone I have ever purchased since it uses the same chargers, same apps etc. The only thing I bought was a light case as it is slippery without one and I picked up a $12.88 QI charger to use at work.

The phone already gets better battery usage than my previous Note 3 with a larger battery in it.

Stand by drain is high.... s not really relevant.
