Hi, I wanted to give a try of MHL for my ZL C6506 (first time trying to use MHL) but I struggled with too many kinds of MHL adapters

* One with a male Micro USB on one side, male Standard HDMI on the other

* Male Micro USB + Male Standard USB, Male Standard HDMI on the other

* A little box with female HDMI + Micro USB, and male Micro USB on the other side of the device

Which will work or not on the ZL? Why? Which are the differences between each one?

Which one should I buy and why?

(Please don't tell me to use Google Cast or Miracast instead, I want MHL)

My HOX+ is stuck on bootloop, but I'm trying to save my photos from it before I try to revive it (had photos of a very important event before phone went dead, it's really important so I really don't want to lose them). How do I transfer files off it (can't mount from recovery)? Tried using ./adb pull, but which directory path I need to pull the files from? (I'm using Mac)

The threads I read says to pull /sdcard/DCIM but doesn't work (remote object '/sdcard/DCIM' does not exist). My understanding is that HOX+ has a different way to store files, so I don't know how the directory works.

Thanks in advance!

adb pull /sdcard

(Or use the most recent TWRP that has MTP mountable)

Hello guys, I'm new on here so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. I have owned a ZTE BLADE S6 since May 15 and is great value for the price, however It couldn't be rooted after trying various methods and tools. But as of today I went on-line again searching how to root this phone. I can now tell you that the phone is now ROOTED!!! YES ROOTED! :cool: using KingRoot-4.1.0.249 release-nolog-20150521_105001.apk. I did try KingRoot before but without success, alas this updated version did the trick. Google KingRoot and click download, once the app has downloaded save to your sdcard on the phone, unplug from computer and and install app using the file manager on the phone once installed open app and follow prompts on the phones screen. You should now have a rooted zte blade s6, to confirm download rootchecker from playstore. PLEASE REMEMBER ALWAYS DO BACKUP FIRST! I do NOT take responsibility for any bricked phones using the above method you DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

thanks and good luck hope it works for you.:fingers-crossed:

[ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers] Jumvah:
I have Blade S6 (EU variant) and I tried Kingroot and then SuperSuMe and it worked first time. Then I got a message saying that there was a FOTA upgrade available. Downloaded the FOTA but wouldn't install because Rooted. So flash stock ROM (GEN_EU_BLADE_S6_V1.0.0B08) then downloaded and installed FOTA to go to B15 (GEN_EU_BLADE_S6_V1.0.0B15) retry KingRoot and it failed.

Tried EasyRoot, eRoot, BaiduRoot, KingoRoot and all failed.

As last resort installed MobileGo app on PC and it chugged away for about 20 seconds and phone now Rooted with SuperSu installed.

Just uninstalled the MobileGo app from phone and "Jobs a good'un" as they say.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I finally decided to take advantage of having a Nexus 6 and flash a factory image. I downloaded Wug's NRT and commenced to flashing. I also wanted to disable forced encryption and Wug's NRT has an option to apply this during the flashing process. It appears to go through the process but when the phone boots back up, I'm still on the same build as when I started. What am I doing wrong?

Phone - Nexus 6, bought directly from Motorola

Carrier - Verizon

Toolkit - Wug's NRT 2.0.5

Build - LMY47D

Android version - 5.1

Goal - flash LMY47Z to get to 5.1.1 and no forced encryption

NRT says it can talk to my phone in all modes, has all the files it needs, etc. I've got to be missing something; just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
what are you doing wrong? well thats an easy one, youre a first time flasher, what are you doing using a root toolkit? did you learn anything from it? did you learn how to flash the factory image the right way? no. that's your issue. it takes less than 5 minutes to flash a factory img the right way.

if you know how to do things properly, then its alright to use a toolkit. if you have no idea jow to do things right, a toolkit wont show you how.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Does NRT tell you it was successful? Usually there are quite a lot of messages...

To get a grip on what simms22's taking about, check out the faq thread:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
right, thats what i was trying to say :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks for the replies, guys. I was able to figure it out. I didn't have the bootloader unlocked. I know, noob mistake. I've got LMY47Z and no encryption now. Sure hope this fixes the jank I've been experiencing, which was the whole purpose of this little experiment.

But to answer your question, I used a tool because it automates the commands and makes the experience easier. Yes, I ran into trouble at first but I figured it out. In my defense, I did read that thread before posting that recommended issuing commands rather than using a tool. I was already vested in NRT so I figured I'd see it through.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Guess the joke is on me. Not only did my efforts NOT fix the lag and stutter I'm experiencing, but the internal storage was reported at 32GB rather than 64GB. So I ran through the tool again but this time I chose the "post-flash factory reset" option which wipes the user cache. The storage is now correct, I'm on LMY47Z, and no encryption. I only installed the Google apps and still had the lag.

This is a replacement device from Motorola (first one developed battery issues). I might do that again. At least I figured out what was wrong with the flashing process. Thanks again everyone!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
personally, the way that google sets up the cpu makes me unhappy. it does lag a bit at times. what i always do, and have done with every nexus, is unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and supersu. then when i boot up, i adjust the cpu my own way. only then does any remnant of lag disappear. i set up my cpu to have all cores online all the time(as of 5.1, google did this as well), i disable mpdecision(hate that google sh*t), and i use ondemand/dwadline :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
To fix your storage issue, either factory reset or fastboot format userdata.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
or just format the cache.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, the joke's on me x 2, actually. There's all around UI lag (which isn't terrible, but it seems that it's worse than my original Nexus 6), with the biggest hesitation in the Messenger app. Reading the reviews of Messenger shows that I am not alone. That was definitely a smack-my-forehead moment as I didn't realize until then is that Messenger is the worst culprit. So I probably could have saved myself a lot of frustration, but it was a good exercise to go through. I know what to do (and what not to do) next time around.

You have some excellent suggestions, thank you very much! As far as the tuning you mentioned (cores, mpdecision), is that achieved with something like Kernel Tuner from the Play Store once I'm rooted?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sorry, didn't see this until after I replied. I formatted the userdata and that fixed the storage issues. I'm back to 64GB. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, any kernel/cpu control app should do. some have more features, some have less, but it would only matter if the kernel included those features. good luck :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JNMM:
Personally, I think the elementalX kernel tuner is the best. Trickster won't keep all of my settings stick after boot (like disabled mp-decision). When I had the elementalX app that worked great...that was a couple.months ago but when I wiped my phone the app wasn't available anymore lol I think the dev had to remove it from play. That was 4 bucks out the window and no working kernel tuner app... Haha
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i still have the old elementalx app, and im still using it as my cpu control app :angel:

This happened on my first M8 and was replaced by Verizon. I've had this device now for over 7 months with no problem until a few days ago. I have tried hard rebooting, recalibrating the touch screen, complete wipe and fresh install.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanmay_12:
I hope I didn't break any rules with this new thread. Please message me and let me know if so :)

The Issue

On CM 12.1

My phone crashed whenever I ran a slightly heavy application - Facebook, Chrome, Snapchat and restart.

1. The phone would bootloop indefinitely.

2. After 1, Pulling out the battery and powering on lead to the same issue.

3. After 1/2, Pulling out the battery again and connecting to the charger would eventually power the phone on.

Post 3, Phone would show the "Android is upgrading 1/130 Apps" message and would eventually take close to 5-10 minutes for the same.

Also, there'd be a dip Battery %. Even if the crash happened after a full charge - battery would show 5% or 10%, at times 0%.

[Powering battery up from this point happened at more than 2-3% per minute]

Switched to Stock TW ROM thinking that it's a ROM issue (Though I tried many CM12.1/ CM 11 builds that never lead to the same issue)

Phone crashed similarly - on use of a heavy app.

Phone wouldn't bootloop like above but restart. It'd take less time if it was a fresh flash / more time if it'd have more apps installed. Battery % occasionally dropped.

Also, Phone would heat up extremely high. Specially on the front, near the camera and the top 1/3rd of the phone. Wouldn't be able to keep my finger on it for too long, leave alone talking on the phone (heated up a lot after rebooting)

Diagnosis

I had 2 batteries - 1 was the original one that came with the phone and the 2nd was a knock off I bought from eBay when the original one stopped holding charge for long.

So I kept both charged and swapped batteries to maximize uptime without charging.

1. Pull out your battery and check for swelling

a. A swollen battery wouldn't sit straight perfectly on a table

b. The back cover doesn't close perfectly on reattaching

c. You have difficulty putting on your case on the phone / seems like an imperfect fit

2. You're using a knock-off battery

I had a knock off battery which swell up dangerously to almost twice its original size (I was scared it'll burst) when lying idle on my table when I used my original battery

Solution

Your battery is spoilt, not your phone.

I'm guessing prolonged use of the damaged battery causing the excessive heating could also damage the phone, so swap in a new battery soon

I'd personally suggest you buy an Original Samsung battery and not a knock-off.

Knock-offs online and offline are available for close to Rs. 700-800 (~USD 12-15) whereas the original's MRP is Rs. 1799 (~USD 30).

Twice the price, Yes - but safe (for sure and suitable for prolonged usage)

Beware of fakes, buy from an authentic Samsung store, check packaging carefully (Sealed, battery in a hard plastic casing) - ask your Samsung store to order it if need be.

If you want, I can post an image of the same on the Thread.

Special shoutout to [MENTION=4546136]silentvisitor[/MENTION] for his help on this issue.

I was about to sell my phone fearing Motherboard damage and swapping it in for a non-Android thinking it's a software issue. Glad I didn't and fixed the problem rather cheaply.

Thank you [MENTION=4749400]tanmay_12[/MENTION] for sharing your experience. I am sure it will come handy to few people in different points of time.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:
For many is already too late, you installed 5.1 believing the hype that latest means greatest and found out that 5.1 is not better than 4.4.4, simply different. You found out some of your apps don't work, your battery life took a hit for the worse or even your hardware does not perform as well as it did on Kitkat 4.4.4. If you installed the OTA for 5.1 and you are happy, this is not directed at you; just continue to enjoy your new OS. I have taken the time to read from many different sources and viewed several videos on You Tube that test side by side Kitkat 4.4.4 vs LP 5.1 and it shows conclusively that Kitkat outperforms LP is just about every category that can be measured or seen with your own eyes. I also realize that some on kitkat may be experiencing a specific problem that they believe or hope LP will solve. This post is not designed to tell anyone what to do or not do. I advised caution, patience and research.

If you know for a fact that LP will offer you something specific that you need take the plunge but at least take the time to check what LP will mess up that you are now enjoying on Kitkat, the information is out there easily found, in closing: if you are sitting on the fence and have not yet taken the 5.1 OTA read and view videos so when you make your decision at least you will know what you will be getting and losing.:)

I'm sorry, I just can't read this post without chuckling a bit. It literally sounds like any tin-foil hat type post on conspiracy forums. (They generally say they know without a doubt and the evidence they've seen shows.. the moon landings were faked.. airplanes are poisoning us... the government has the ability to keep a secret... and they generally cite a youtube video they saw.)

Im not saying people aren't having issues, but to say KK is conclusively shown to be slower than LP via youtube... ugh.

I dont have to cite anything and say no. Art vs Dalvik. Thats the only argument I have to make.

As for your last post, yes, from 4.4.4 you can flash parts of 5.1 and a (rooted) image to get LP with root... that's about all I have to say on this "conclusive" topic.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:
Chuckling is good. Installing the 5.1 OTA without doing a little checking first coud make a person :( . I advocated patience and reading first that's all, Since you are familiar with Art you already know that not all programs that our members use and find important are updated to use it. I would agree with you that LP has a greater potential than KK. I am sure it has not been realized yet... and I can't stand white backgrounds :cool:
