[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cap2587:
Thanks for the quick response. The lady is paranoid about losing her photos! Therefore flashing with Odin Stock Rom will not remove any data from the phone. Do you have instructions or a link on how to do this.

I also am able to sign into her google account through the web browser, but when I use those credentials to try and unlock the Galaxy S6 it says that the user name or email is wrong. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Sounds like she could be learning a hard lesson. Backup passwords, knowing what accounts you used to setup, photo backups all exist for a reason.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cap2587:
I totally agree with your assessment! I don't understand how I can log into her Gmail account via the web and then when I enter the same information at the Galaxy S6 Unlock via Google it does not work. Could this have something to do with not being connected to the internet. It is saying that 4G LTE is connected. Doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to WiFi without unlocking home screen.

If this was my phone I would have no trouble trying to flash the Odin stock Rom, but do not want to lose her info incase someone else can retrieve it. Does flashing the Odin stock ROM wipe everything on the phone or does it retain photos and other information. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
I'm in this same situation. Is there anyway to retrieve the pictures? Flashing with Odin does not wipe the phone?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WahFai:
Wasn't life easier when we had removable sd cards...?

Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.

Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsimpe:
My G920F stuck on bootloop because of fail on rooting and I was afraid of losing all my photos. First I flashed TWRP with Odin, booted to recovery mode and pulled photos and videos out with adb. Then I flashed stock firmware with Odin and made a factory reset (not mandatory). Everything is working fine now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
I suppose doing this you had USB debugging ENABLED before the boot-fail? Or does it turn on USB debug when flashing TWRP?

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Agree WahFai, much simpeler with SD-card! So you think flashing system partition will do the trick. I'll go read up on that, how to flash the system partition. In my case, afaik, the fingerprint reader did not break. The system failed accepting the unlock code from one day to another and she does not remember the backup code for the reader. Thanks for your reply!

All she wants are the pictures on the phone. She recently got a baby, all the pictures of the delivery are on the phone, so you sense the urgency to not loose the pictures. She'll still feel the effects 18 years from now.

By the way: does flashing the stock rom with odin void the warranty? Because the phone is still on warranty...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WahFai:
Flashing a stock rom via odin will not trip knox but flashing a custom recovery will.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
Thanks for clearing that out for me.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

EDIT:

So I'm downloading the stock firmware right now. Still a question: I'm not sure which firmware is on the phone right now. Is it a problem if I flash a newer, say the newest available, stock firmware on the phone?

Go on samsung kies and back up the phone and the photos come up
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
The phone is locked out, it does not show up on Kies. Actually it does show, but says its locked.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
Ok, I now flashed the stock ROM again. It still comes back on the locked screen. HELP!!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sevael:
At this point, it sounds like flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) is your only option.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
Hey dsimpe, I am willing to try this option, since I cannot acces de mediafiles after flashing the stock ROM. Can you confirm this will trip Knox? And I installed ADB Studio. I cannot find a simple explanation on how to pull de media with adb. Can you help me please?

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

I just saw your post Sevael. I recon this is my only option now. I need to figure this out to pull the media, after that I can do a factory reset or whatever, but I never used ADB before. Thanks for your reply.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsimpe:
Check droidviews article of "How to Push and Pull Files on Android using the ADB commands".

I'm pretty sure that knox will be tripped.

Also go to my profile and check thread that I've started. I explain there how I did it.

If you've any problems post here or pm me.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
I now found the instructions on how to pull files with ADB. I connected the phone to my pc and checked if the device was recognized. This was not the case. Does this mean, that the USB debugging was not enabled?

Edit: Thanks dsimpe. Saw the post too late again. Note to self: need to refresh page before making a reply... I'll go check out your posts. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsimpe:
My device wasn't recognized either before I flashed TWRP with Odin and I booted to recovery mode.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
Ok, tnx dsimpe. I guess USB debugging must have been turned on before also on the phone? And can you confirm knox will be tripped?

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze problem: it gets to the Samsung Galaxy screen and the blue line runs across and that's it, nothing further. I can get it into recovery mode, when I do I have five options, only one of which even seems to have a remote chance of working, which is this:

2. apply update from external storage,

I have tried to do several times with this: /update.zip

every time, however, i get this message: finding update package.. opening update package..verifying update package...E:signature verification failed.

Nothing else I do makes any difference at all, just keeps running into the logo screen and hanging.

I hope someone has an idea of how to work around this?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FooBazza:
Hi,

I currently own a 16GB Moto X 2014 Pure Edition, running on CyanogenMod 12.1 with Render Kernel. I'm just not feeling it. Although the devs are certainly working hard to get stuff working and new ROMs ported over, nothing really besides CM12.1 is officially built. My sister offered to trade me her 32GB Nexus 5 for it as she found the phone a lot more comfortable for her aesthetically. I'm a ROM junkie, so is this a worthy swap?

you have deleted the partition.

first you have to make the partitions and then flash the stock rom.

so no need to worry.

follow the below link

playit.pk/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I

your phone will be unbricked from fastboot mode, but it will get stuck in logo stuck mode.

now you have to unbrick this mode, to do so follow the below link.

Roms tried:

Dynamic kat

Stock 4.4.4

Stock 5.1.1

Stock 6.0.1

Rooted and un rooted all the above....stock kernels...ael...beast mode...ktoonz.... Nothing....the closest i get is with 5.1.1. Phone says it recognizes the mhl 2 and mhl 3 connector but NOTHING to the tv.

I have a N915a stock and that works flawless on the mhl 2 and 3 adapters all day long....with or without a charger hooked up! Wtf!!!!!?

Aforementioned mhl adapters are 100% store bought from samsung directly. Not amazon knock offs.

My phone acts like this and it is rooted with tweaks and enhancements to help remedy this. It's still not enough to fix the problem, however, Samsung has acknowledged the memory issue and is releasing software updates to fix this problem. It's a software problem and therefore fixable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
There is something worth noting here; this is not specific to Samsung. My Nexus 9 LTE at first was unusable. As far as a flagship Nexus device, I was very disappointed. After 24-48 hours of being on, it would start to lag big time. Opening apps, web browsing and general use was dreadful. It was to a point that I stopped using it completely and almost brought it back for a refund but so many other people were having issues, that I was thinking it was impossible Google would let this happen. Until Google did something, I had to resort to restarting the tablet once every 1-2 days, at least, and using ccleaner to clean up ram every 2-3 hours...and this was only a slight relief. Then 5.1.1 came and things went from unbearable to almost great. The tablet is not perfect, it still has the occasional hiccup that reminds me of the past but at least I know Google is working on it. I've got to say in all the years I've been on Android, all the updates, Lollipop was the version that caused a lot more harm than it was an "upgrade"...i'll always say it was a poisoned upgrade.

Samsung can only do so much...they can't help Google recode the OS but what they have done is try to get as much people on 5.1.1 as fast as they can. I Don't remember them pushing a new version to so many people in the first 60 days after the phone has been released. Usually it's a slow release over a few months starting with 1 or 2 countries in Europe, then some here, then there, 2-3 months later, North America starts getting it to finally end 6 months after.

Thankfully, Google has worked on polishing android 5 instead of releasing Android 6. I tried it for a few days on my Nexus 9 and it's a breathe of fresh air. Not only is battery life considerably improved, it also ties the knot between what some OEMs had for a long time and what Google should have made a native function, such as fingerprint scanner, multiwindow, ram management.

In the mean time, there are a bunch of apps that can help you. I've tested a few things myself and found that clearing cache in recovery once a week plus clicking that ram cleaner button on the Samsung widget once in a while helps.

I believe that most people that have the "ERROR: ITWriteDisk" error and afterward, did nothing, is the problem. After the "ERROR: ITWriteDisk" error comes up, one must "HARD Reset" which are the two Soft buttons "-" and then stick stylus in the little hole next to the microSD slot.

Can anyone with a bricked device try this please? I think many did not know what a "HARD Reset" is and thus, believe there device is bricked! Please try this method and tell me if it has solved the "bricked" issue. Thanks.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] The Dutchman:
To be honest, the first thing you do if your device does not boot OS you perform a hard-reset!! And if you don't know what or how you hard reset, you should not get involved in flashing. but maybe it'll work for someone:)

EDIT; I was able to flash Lanchon's 12.1 kernel release over the 7/17 nightly thru Cyanogen recovery with no issues. Unfortunately it retains the CM recovery. Other than the trim ability not sure if there is any other benefit. (probably just CM kernel repacked with the trim stuff). Hoping this may lead to some TWRP on these nightlies soon!
