[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
There are a few people here who seem to have hopeless bricks. There are MTK flashing tools out there that are being used countless times for misc MTK devices:

http://firmware.su/51343-sp-flash-tool.html

http://firmware.su/25346-mtk-droid-tools.html

The trick with SP flash tools is that in many phones it requires to take out the battery. Then the device shows up as mtk65xx preloader, all ready to be flashed. I think a couple of people here swapped the motherboards, so they got the boards unhooked from the batteries. Any chance to try this?

For the normal boot, there is a short time when the Fire shows up as MTK65xx pre-loader if connected to Windows via a cable, but then it quickly continues.

I figure Amazon has standard operating procedures to recover bricks, and they are probably easy to use just via the cable and perhaps some button push.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
MTK tools are hopeless too ! :(

So bricks will remain bricks ...

I just confused myself. Should i be flashing the bootloader, radio, etc from a nexus factory image and then flash omni? I have been using 20150605 build without doing this. Should i do this for the nightlies?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dork6243:
Honestly, I've never used zip verification for all the years I've been flashing ROMs and have never had any issues.

I'm probably wrong but.. My theory is that packed somewhere inside the zip you are trying to flash lies a key, which is compared next a second key once extracted. If they don't match it throws an error and aborts the operation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
I've never used zip verification for this exact reason, and therefore have never looked into it. This sounds like something for the TWRP thread that [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] could answer maybe.

Off the top of my head... battery icon customization, volume match orientation, volume wake, screenshot delete, advanced reboot menu, hide usb debugging icon, ambient display customization.

Not sure if feature requests are allowed or not, if not then just ignore this..

But I was wondering if the 5 second home button delay on app launchers (such as Swipepad) is something that may be removed? That'd make navigating the phone much quicker for those of us who do use app launchers.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanceJustice:
I am certainly interested in giving OmniRom a try. A couple of questions...

First, I'm attempting to download the Omni 5.1.1 20150725 Nightly (newest as of this writing) and the download is going exceptionally slow (20-30KB/s) on the official dl.omnirom.org mirror. Is there an issue with the server at current or an up to date mirror?

Next, is there an overall feature list for Omni (on Nexus 6)? Many ROMs place a list of their main features as well as any other ROMs/kernels they incorporate (ie based on CyanogenMod 12.1, with latest CM12.1 commits added on every update etc..)).

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
The server is probably being slow. They just upgraded storage/cleaned it up a few days ago and it has been significantly faster, it might be your connection to the server or something else.

As far as a list of features, there isn't one to my knowledge but you can certainly check on gerrit to see what's been merged recently. Just flash it and see for yourself: highfive:

Omnirom 5.1.1 nightly sudden reboot+supersu freeze+bluetooth headset bugs

I installed Omnirom 3days ago and have to say; nice stuff. runs fluid, batterie's fine and overall i like user experience. BUT

I'm experiencing some bugs.

first of all sometimes there just are random sudden reboots. On stock rom this happened from time to time when battery was below 30% or something so i thought there has to be a powersaving feature or something in kernel that don't works correct.

Then i flashed TWRP+Omnirom and those sudden reboots started happening randomly; regardless of battery.

I googled and found that could be some setting that adapt display brightness(???) and/or some apps bugging/conflicting. and, from previous experience, i know that this could also be a hardware/battery failure(please not; can't send my phone back right now as i need it daily for work and my N5 has a broken touch:( )

i tried disabling that display feature and also installed and tested if 'Lux' has any impact on that as it, basically, does the same but no change.

i factory reseted my device multiple times and tried to find out what APP could force this but... right now there's only the bare minimum(contacts+ / messages+ / aquamail / maildroid / todoist /calengoo /business calender pro and google stock apps)and still same problem. sometimes even while calling what's very embarassing when having an important customer on phone ...

I gonna try Zen Kernel next just to see if different kernel with different cpu scheduler COULD make any difference.

Then the second bug is my bluetooth headset(Plantronics M165). Can't get it to pair. Before Omnirom this worked very well as it should. Now, most of time he finds nothing and sometimes he finds a mac address of the headset but not the name. Other bluetooth devices are working fine and the headset's still working perfectly well on my gf's HTC M8. Anyone any ideas?

Last bug i experienced is SuperSU. Always an app needs root i can't get SuperSU intercept my choice. I click on allow or deny but nothing happens and after 10seconds superSu autodenies(or allows; depends on settings ;) )right after factory reset supersu just works fine but suddenly stops working. root's still there as i can perfectly tell supersu what to do in its settings. Only the on demand root question can't be answered. uninstalling/reinstalling supersu didn't change anything. It doesn't matter if i install supersu by playstore or by zip through recovery. also unrooting and rerooting doesn't help. only a factory reset helps; for a while.

I don't want to change my Superuser managment as i paid for the pro version ... ;)

Hope to find some help here as it's one of my fav places for everything smartphone related since back in my tytn days:)

so much knowledge in here.

keep up the good work:)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightfly.0684:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightfly.0684:

Do we get the Update for M through opendelta or is a factory reset + reflash needed?

and if i understand right you assume that the Bluetooth Problem should be gone with M?

would be nice as, right now, I sometimes have to pick up important calls while driving ... and... i don't like that at all....

would try the homemade M build IF i wouldn't need it daily for work. about time to repair my n5 i guess :p

Hello,

I am looking to move my Verizon S3 to a Total Wireless plan. I cannot seem to find any APN settings to enter for it to work on Total Wireless.

Honestly, I cannot seem to find any info on re-purposing a Verizon S3 to a Total Wireless S3 phone. The only difference between the two versions are that the Total Wireless version does not support 4G.

Any suggestions on how to do this so I don't need to go spend $250 on another S3 from Total Wireless?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jedis:
No, it won't work according to their page because it supports 4G. Hence, why I need to flash it to deactivate the 4G so that it can be activated. Same kind of thing to get a Verizon phone to activate on Page Plus, etc. Just can't find any info to do it for Total Wireless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnewman402:
It will not work on the Total Wireless (sister company) network because of 4gLTE. It will work on Straight Talk. Straight Talk uses the Verizon tower to continue support for the BYOD. I have my phone on that network right now with everything working. I am running a custom ROM rooted so I can place APN's. Im running PAC-ROM, came from Mastamoon's CM. Not saying Mastamoon's CM wont work, I just decided to switch my ROM.

Turn Data Roaming - On

Preferred Network - Gloabl

System Select - Im on automatic

CDMA Subscription - RUIM/SIM This is a standard mandatory change on LP Roms with the S3)

APN, follow my link below for my notes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jedis:
Thanks, but I'm well aware it won't work on Total Wireless without flashing or changing settings, hence the reason why I posted the thread.

I found someone that can do it, but wants $60 to make the Verizon S3 work on Total Wireless.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
I would try to query different areas of XDA (of course, that applies to your phone) as well as other forums like Phandroid, Android Central, etc...

Remember that when you query, use 1 or more keywords (sometimes you will find your lead/answer with just 1 or 2 words) and be sure to leave out the common words/letters (for example: a, or, and, the, etc...) will provide you results that can have one or more of the commons only. This also goes for search engines like Google and others.

Here's a little fun fact. When you query, using "quotes" on one key word(s) will emphasize the "quoted" word(s) in your search results. This works probably half the time (give or take).

I hope this helps!

Hi!

How to use, a pen drive for example, in G6!

You need a USB OTG cable, a explorer, in my example I used Root Browser, but can be E S File explorer and with him you can create a short cut in main screen for usbotg folder that you can find in storaged , together with sdcard0 and sdcard1.

Plug the USB Pen Driver in to the phone and the phone will install it, and done!

Now just explore, copy, etc., between folders as usual, at the end we have to go to Settings -> Storage and disable the Pen drive, or the phone get a error and only with the restart you can connect again the Pen drive.

Dont delete the folder LOST.DIR, phone created and need it to connect to pen drive.

What is OTG:

A few days ago decided to flash back my one plus one to Cyaonogenmod11S kitkat because I could not stand 5.02 lollipop (huge battery drain, nova launcher bugs, touch screen issues etc.)

I did this following a guide (can't post the url )

Everything went fine, and I got my phone up to kitkat 44s

But, I'm having a huge issue that when I try to call someone, the screen turns black straight away and there is no way for me to get back from the black screen except for using the power button to end the conversation.

I read that most likely it's an issue with the proximity sensor that needs recalibration but I have no clue how I would go about doing that.

For your information I flashed the files from this guide onto my phone: Three signed flashables zips for 33R 38R and 44S

(seems that I can't use URLS yet)

Plus two files for the 44s firmware (modem file and another file). I also tried the modem firmware of 33r but this also didn't fix it.

I've also download a proximity sensor app which showed the following values for my sensor:

It shows the following values for my sensor:

0: 0.0

1: 32767.0

2: -0.047822422

Just to be clear, before I flashed back to 44s I did not have this problem, so I'm pretty sure its software and not hardware related (sensor is not broken).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:

I've read through the REF thread - I've flashed 241 - have data and signal back now but screen black during calls, proximity sensor test shows fixed values, gestures don't work (V for light etc).

Tried reflashing 241 twice - cleared Dalvic - still not working. There doesn't seem to be a fix for everyone - it just seems like some people have been lucky and most haven't.

Going to try older version of TWRP now but slowly thinking that this phone is going back to 11S with all its bugs (the keyboard one was the worst). TBH I'm getting rid of this phone as soon as I get a chance as I'm fed up with it.

Annoyingly - he probably won't as he posted quite a while ago... never mind he probably just got lucky - I'll just assume this phone is doomed to fail as One Plus and Cynagoen aren't going to bother fixing anything - priorities lie elsewhere for both companies.

Just can't understand how such an important part of the phone (the actual bit that makes phone calls and receives data) is so broken. Poor show.
