[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulsethi:
So if i were to follow S-on steps , i will have to first flash stock recovery , relock bootloader and run t-mobile RUU for firmware upgrade ?

When i relock bootloader everything will be wiped , right ?

So i connect my phone to pc with relocked bootloader and stock recovery and run t-mobile latest RUU on windows ?

Is this the correct procedure?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That is all true; except you do

not

need to install stock recovery to RUU.

Stock recovery is only needed to OTA,

not

for RUU.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMartinz:
Hello everybody here at XDA, ( this is my first post here so bare with me here)(english is not my native language either)

My device:

Nexus 5 - hammerhead D821(H) 16GB

BL version - HHZ12h

BB version M8974A-2.0.50.2.26

Secure boot enabled

lock state unlocked

today i got a "broken" nexus 5 that is in boot loop with the google logo and it wont boot into any .img

At the start i read the pinned posts and found this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

followed it step by step. but unfortunatly it didnt help my situation. there werent any errors or such kind.

i also tried this tutorial with other images but nothing worked.

When i go to the recovery mode and press the power button the phone get into the google logo and i can see some sort of strange stripes in like a milisecond but then it just gets into the boot loop.

i really think ive tried everything accept for relocking the bootloader but cant imaging that this could be the problem.

If you guys need more info please just ask me.

Hope you guys can help me out here.

Really thought XDA forums would be able to help me.

Any admins or mods or any other veteran that could help me out?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookytay:
If that's not working for you, you can try using the Nexus Root Toolkit just to be sure.

If that doesn't work, than it could be hardware related, and not much you can do about that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesh120673:
Hi All,

I have boot-loop problem for Nexus5 as described earlier :( .

As I was able to boot in Fastboot

I went for factory reset, and saw FAILED (remote: flash write failure).

I have tried to flash countless time with same error.

Then I read this thread and considered phone memory is toasted.

LG service-center have quoted me around $180 for mother board replacement.

Today I tried twrp project to boot in openrecovery and start an adb shell.

I was able to see file system of my phone.

These following folders are empty:

/boot

/cache

/data

In system folder there is only bin folder and which is empty.

/system

I have gotten this far, is internal memory roasted :confused:

Any direction or suggestions welcomed :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookytay:
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?

When you boot the phone in Fastboot mode, does the "lock state" say UNLOCKED?

If so, then yeah, your internal memory could be huffed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesh120673:
It says Locked.

I unlock it using ./fastboot oem unlock
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nurmi_CEO:
I just got my N5 and was messing around. Rooted it and loaded a rom, but it would just seem to hang at the spinning dots forever. Though I didn't wait THAT long like some users did and had success.

I can't find the link I used, but googling around should get you there. I ended up restoring a factory image via fastboot. I ended up using THIS PROGRAM to root the phone. This program also has a restore option and gives an option to check in case you are in boot loop status. Give it a shot.

Yes I do believe you have to unlock the bootloader as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookytay:
Yes the bootloader must be unlocked before you can do ANYTHING to the phone, it's what's there to protect it from being hacked/changed or whatever. So before you can write anything to your phone, you need to make sure you OEM UNLOCK the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackNUMBER:
[Solved!] Nexus 5 boot loop at Google logo

I found a solution on Youtube comment (can't post url, too new user).

You just have to press quickly the Power button durint 1-2 minutes (continue untill the Android animation start, don't stop when the Google logo appear)3

As crazy as it sounds, IT WORKS :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerz0:
Wow .. i had the exact same problem (Startup loop on Nexus 5 that shows the Google logo and restarts, over and over), and i pressed the power button quicky about 30 or 40 time until after I saw the startup animation and my phone came back to life. I have been charging it with cables other than the one that came with the phone for a few months now, and it has been acting strangely while plugged in (randomly clicking things on the screen, and enabling my camera and taking pictures on its own, etc.). So, to avoid problems in the future, I think I'll invest in a wireless charger. Thanks JackNUMBER for the easy solution. I hope this works for others as well. Saved me a trip to the store.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjaeger:
My friend brought me her I515. She's had the following issues:

When trying to boot up, sometimes it will show bootloader screen, sometimes won't. So that means the LCD isn't busted. Will not go into recovery mode to do a hard reset. After some fiddling with it today, I definitely have it turned on, as it is giving me notification sounds and low battery noises. However, the screen is black. I have no idea what is causing this. I didn't think the phone was booting but, as I said, I just received notification sounds. I tried plugging it into my computer but it didn't recognize it.

My friend isn't tech savvy, so as far as I know, the phone is stock. She bought a new battery to try but that doesn't seem to be working. Now that it's on, kind of, I'm going to leave it charging.

Any ideas why the screen is black? And how to fix it?

Hopefully this thread is still active....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjaeger:
additional info: the touchscreen works. When I've had it turned on (still can't see anything on the screen), I can feel the haptic feedback as I unlock it. There is also an LED light that will light up occasionally. Drivers recognize the device when plugged into the computer. Again, no screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
More than likely the ribbon connecting the LCD to board is shot, hopefully just loose

Open it up and clean the connection and hope it works, if not than a new LCD is in order

I am having a problem with Transcriber since updating to the Black & Blue v3.

The ROM had no transcriber (or it didn't install properly) so I downloaded and installed the CAB.

Now every time I change input methods and go back to Transcriber it shows the "welcome screen" and turns the sound on. If I change the settings they only stick until I change to the keyboard etc, and then when I go back to transcriber it reverts to default.

Any ideas?

In the battery section top of the list i have Android OS and Google Services, followed by Facebook and Instagram. All drain battery more than the screen itself !!?

Note that i have most of the things turned off except when using them, such as wifi, gps, nfc etc...

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
Hello there, it's time to get this rolling somewhere.

This is a Development-Thread. Please don't post if you aren't a developer.

What this IS

This is a Development thread, a platform for developers to discuss the development of CyanogenMod for the G925F. It's made so that we can get this working, fix up the problems - because there will be severe ones - and achieve a working official Rom at some point.

At the moment it's @OldDroid and me with help, but it would be awesome if interested devs would join in so that we can make this a team effort.

In short, it's a Dev-Thread in a dev section.

Right now it doesn't work and I'm not sure that it will work.

What this IS NOT

This is NOT a working Rom. Not even close. I can only link you to the kernel repo and soon to device and vendor, as they are almost completed for a first try.

And yes, there is no download link for the Rom. Because there isn't anything you could download yet.

This is also NOT intended as a Q&A thread. Please don't ask if your variant will be supported, I will respond by trolling. Firstand only priority is to get this running, then we'll talk about variants.

And ETA is an evil word with no meaning here. I work slowly, deal with it ;)

Where are we currently?

Much further than a day ago ;)

Thanks to @OldDroid, we've teamed up :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Aircondition:
Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.

But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.

Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.

If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.

We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
The lack of drivers makes this a fun exercise almost :D Where's be the challenge if everything was easy...? ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
I can't say what the challenges here will be, since I couldn't manage to even flash it yet - Second build is compiling since hours now. For now it's using all the proprietrary stuff we managed to grab and some additional stuff from the 5433 CM. But without booting it's hard to tell what won't work and might present a challenge ^^ From what I saw it'll be tough to just get the modem running. The hard part is to write the drivers yourself
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] lch920619x:
It's interesting that you can use drivers from 5433, which is a 32bit platform. Most drivers are not compatible when you switch from 32bit to 64bit if I am right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
As a base to know how to do it, obviously we can't just use drivers for a different chipset :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
Updated the /system size in the BoardConfig and at least it flashes. But it doesn't want to boot for some reason yet.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
If you have the 5.1.1 boot loader and are using 5.0.2 as a base. Sboot will not boot it. As a fyi. It checks Linux versions.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mythos234:
Both is 5.1.1 and Sboot seems to clear the boot as well, everything seems to go fine, it just doesn't boot. :/ Trying with building the kernel during the build itself instead of using a prebuilt one and see how that goes
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
I would personally flash an Engineering boot loader while doing this, to ensure version checking is not the issue.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
No for the first question as the chipset is different. :(

Yes for second question. :)

It's a great phone, the speakers and battery life are among the best, just don't get the T-Mobile USA version, get the international version as it has better build quality consistency.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I would strongly recommend the original Z3 over the Z3+

Snapdragon 810 is a battery hog. The 801 is far more power efficient and in almost all real-world situations runs faster than the 810 because it is much harder to driver it into thermal throttling.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
I think so too. My Xperia Z2 got broken. I decided to go for original Z3. I even wanted another Z2. But definitely not a Z3+

[XDA Assist] ApplepieFTW:
Hey everyone, I have this very strange issue

The other day I made a nandroid backup because I wanted to mess around with some stuff I wasn't sure was going to work. I then restored the backup, and tada, bootloop. I was stuck on the boot animation. Tried a deleting data/dalvik/cache from recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7), installing rom again, but nothing worked.

Now, what I did may or may not have been smart. I wiped everything using "wipe userdata" in the adb shell. Everything gone. Now I want to put on a working rom again, but I can't. Two problems:

1. My CWM recovery is doing this . Not only when I boot into it trough bootloader, but, maybe this is because I don't have a working rom, it also seems to go into it after my bootloop attempts to boot twice, as seen here.

I have no idea what's happening and why and how. It just keeps flashing like this and I can't access the menu. I tried reflashing, flashing the touch version, flashing TWRP which doesn't have default adb access, and flashing it once again but same result. So I can't choose a rom to flash. How do I fix this?

2. I can still push files to /data/media/ and /sdcard/, but after that I have no way to install them. No tutorial I found seemed to work, e.g this one from xda says I have to mount /data/ but when I do that I get

> C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

~ # mount data

mount data

mount: mounting /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata on /data failed:

Invalid argument

And I've also done this one which states the rom should install, but it doesn't. The cd and push are successful, but I can't do anything with it. I also think my /sdcard/ got unmounted at some point, but I was able to push a file to it so not sure here.

Does anyone know how to fix this. I have no idea what to do, pretty hopeless at this point. Thanks so so much if you have any tips

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y2whisper:
That is because the video dialer is disabled by default on most (if not all) of the WM6 Roms, You need to be more specific on which rom it is that you are using, if it is black shadow or magic then you can find the answer here or at 4winmobile just search for 3g video dialer.

if its one of the others, just look for a tweak program (htc custom or pimp my black etc), and look to the dialer skin and use the opposite of the setting (I would tell you more specifics but I left my Tytn at home.)
