[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToxicWaste:
Update but need some help

Figured everything out after doing more research. I successfully downgraded to 4.4.2 and unlocked using towelroot.

I have a couple of questions if anyone can answer them:

I don't see Safestrap in Busybox's list

Safestrap installed fine and I an access it etc. but a backup fails if I try it:

Says:

Safestrap 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0)

ROM Slot: stock

Data and System are checked

Enable compression and Skip MD5 are unchecked.

Backup Fails:

Unable to mount internal storage.

Unable to mount /external_sd during GUI startup (I have no external sd card in the phone)

Full SELinux support is present

Unable to mount /external_sd/TWRP/. twrps when trying to read settings file

Updating partition details

Unable to mount internal storage

FAIL

Any advice XDA?

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToxicWaste:
Figured it out. Stupid simple mistake. I didn't have internal storage mounted. Backup worked great afterwards.

For others searching the same issue, go into Safestrap and click Mount>click internal storage.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I update the Fire OS after successfully rooting/installing TWRP will I mess up anything?

I rooted everything and installed TWRP succesfully on my Fire HD 6 running 4.5.3 (it was fresh out of the box and I didn't allow any OTA updates). If I update the OS now will it brick it or mess up TWRP in any way?

Also, ultimately I'm just trying to get Google Apps on my HD 6 (it'd be nice if I could get lollipop on it but I bricked the last HD 6 I had so I'm starting with the low-hanging fruit haha). However, I can't really find a guide to do this starting from 4.5.3 Fire OS... Could you point a noob anywhere to either a) install GApps or b) get lollipop installed?

I was trying to follow this tutorial but it's not really noobie-friendly and I think it's meant to start from 5.0.n which is why I'm asking if I can update without screwing anything up.

Thanks for your help!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
If you update now without following that guide you will lose root and TWRP. You may not be able to root with Kingroot and you won't have the "friendly" bootloaders that can boot TWRP. Don't do it.

I'll have to get back to you about updating. Maybe bibikalka will jump in. Look around for a KitKat version of pico-uni Gapps, which you could install in TWRP now. There will be link in an old guide for OS 4.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
OK, I looked at the guide again. [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION] may have a preferred route, but here's what I suggest: Pretend nothing else is there except steps 1) through 3) and just carefully follow those steps.

Download all the files to the pc first. Get the 5.1.1 update (only because we know it's rootable with Kingroot) and rename the extension from bin to zip. Skip Xposed (step 1-7). Do get 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip (step 1-10). Copy or move all the files to the downloads folder on device. (This is the long way and you can download directly to device if you prefer. I just find it easier to download and double check that you have all the right files from the pc.)

Hold Power and volume+ to get into TWRP, then carefully do all the sub-steps under 1) except for step 7. (From what you say, I just don't think you need Xposed.) Just be sure you have the correct file at each step and you'll be fine.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Any point in using 5.1.1 ? Since SuperSu gets flashed during the update, it does not care which FireOS version it is. Nobody will be running Kingroot since SuperSu is already there :D
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
No, 5.1.2 is fine. It was just a cya suggestion in case user missed a step and somehow lost root--but OF COURSE no steps will be missed. :D

TWRP failed to install, now have no recovery

So I'll start by saying I'm an idiot. I wasn't paying attention to which version OS is required and tried to install TWRP using Flashify. It went through the motions and did its reboot, and now I'm stuck with absolutely no recovery at all. I've tried searching these forums for a "TWRP installation failed" thread and have had no luck, at least not for the Fire HD 6 device. Really need help here, I have absolutely no way to get into recovery to flash anything back at all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Are you on a deodexed rom? If not, then you can't install xposed on LP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Akcent13:
What is that? and I dont think so I just installed lollipop from samsung kies 3 :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No xposed on Stock ROM. You can root, but no roms or xposed since you used Kies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eddie Hicks:
Apparently you can flash Stang5litre deodex ROM on OTA 5.01 using Flashfire. Since it's deodex maybe you can install xposed. I haven't tried it myself but if you go to the last couple of pages on the Stang5litre topic you will see post from those who were successful in flashing it on OC1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sc4s2cg:
I actually just installed Xposed the other day and wrote down what I did in case its needed in the future. Might as well share. You need to do all steps here (unless already on 4.4.2 then just root it and go form there).

My s6 edge is rooted so I know that OTA update wont work but neither will SmartSwitch. It just doesn't say an update is available. I found an official 5.1.1 stock file but it says 18 hours to download because it is filegator and ul. Is there any other way I can update? Any faster link?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
The safest way to update would be to unroot, do a factory reset and wait for ota.

At present there is no advantage to rooting, TWRP is not being developed, no custom roms to install and if you get frp lock you will brick your phone.

Tried to root a costum rom for my S6 edge. I used ODIN to root BL and a modem. A message came up "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock". Went i booted my phone up, it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S6 edge screen. A red text in the upper left corner says "Kernel rev. Check fail. Device: 2, Binary: 1"

So the problem is I can not boot my phone. Tried to download stock firmware and root it via Odin. Did not work. I can not get into recovery mode either.

Hello,

I just unlocked the bootloader of my Sony Xperia M2 (following the instructions on the Sony website).

I installed Flashtool and I followed the Sony instructions. In the end, I got a message in my terminal saying that the process was completed successfully.

After that, I tried to turn on my phone, he vibrated but the screen remained black and did not turn on.

I tried to reconnect to my computer by holding the Volume + button to enter the fastboot mode, but the LED does not light either, and I do not know what to do ...

If anyone could help me that would be really great because I'm a bit annoyed that my smartphone couldn't boot ...

I set my DPI to 200 or something like that, and something kept crashing over and over again (com.android.keyguard) so I could not even use my phone. Also would not connect to the computer in order to fix it. So I forced a factory reset. I am using nova launcher, and someone in a similar thread had said it can go as low as they like with Nova? Not my experience... Ran into this problem before a couple years ago on my Note 8.0 also but never bothered asking about it.

[XDA Assist] slowturtles:
Hi,

First post here. I have a Nexus 4. I've been trying many things to get my phone going (flashing stock images 5.1.1 and 4.4.4, flashing Cynanogenmod 10.2.1-mako and cm.12.1-20150718-NIGHTLY-mako). Only the nighly cynangenmod had gotten me past the boot animation but the phone would be stuck on 'starting apps' (although sometimes the phone won't get past the boot animation too). I think it has to do with a memory leak because I had similar symptoms and the phone got stuck in a bootloop after I had rebooted when the phone was slow (was running stock 5.1.1 at the time).

The most recent thing I've been trying is this but I haven't been able to get my computer to detect my android so I can delete bootanimation with file explorer. ADB actions work when I'm in recovery mode though.

Did you purchase the Geek Squad Protection outright at the $169.99/$199.99 price? Or did you do the $10.99 monthly with lost & theft? Or the $7.99 monthly for accidental only? Either way, it will NOT transfer over to the T-Mobile phone, it is only for that phone you purchased at Best Buy. If you purchased the monthly, call Geek Squad (1800-Geek Squad) and you can cancel it.

I picked up a tab 2 recently and I like it a lot. But I recently upgraded to their official lollipop and the results have been sub par. The WiFi keeps disconnecting. The performance seems slower. Is there any way I can flash the older official KitKat rom instead? If not is there another tablet someone would recommend because I'm thinking of returning this one based on the recent update alone.

Likely Solution

I had this same problem, along with other issues. Although I watched the update download and install successfully, I decided to try a reload. I charged the tablet first, then connected it to a USB port to ensure trickle power kept it going, and performed a FULL factory restore. It restored the newest version (Update A10-70F to S000118_150710_ROW), and after 2 days of continuous use, I am happy to say that disconnects and other issues are solved. Except the battery recharge seems to take forever . . .

Although I did not save the update, I do have the 3 previous versions available.

Update A10-70F to S000019_150309_ROW

Slow Rechaarge

Follow-up to earlier comment about slow recharge times.

I just checked all my cables with a meter. No problems there. Now to check the outputs of the factory and 3rd-party chargers:

1. MusicPower (Apple Store) "Quartet" charger:

Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.3aMax (yes, that's zero point three), OUTPUT 500mA on each of the 4 individual ports.

2. Lenovo IdeaPad (factory) "HuntKey: charger (shipped with Lenovo S6000-F tablet, which looks almost identical to the Tab 2 A10-70 series):

Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.2aMax (yes, that's zero point two), OUTPUT 5.0v, 0.2a

3. Lenovo C-P35 charger (shipped with TAB 2 A10-70F):

Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.5aMax (yes, that's zero point five), OUTPUT 5.2v, 2.0a

An empirical test shows that using the correct charger has cut recharge time by about 60%.

Since many reports are about slow recharge with different devices, Your Mileage May Vary.

Hope this helps.

Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F

I have a Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F with Android 5.1, Build A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW.

The most annoying thing is WiFi. Even with activated setting to keep it on with screen off, it takes up to 2 minutes after turning screen on to reconnect WiFi. It seems that every app with "network changing" event fires up, and after 1-2 minutes I am able to do what I wanted to do.

With the App "Wake Lock" I can prevent this behaviour sometimes.

I am sad about this, because this tablet is absolutely okay for me to read and work and play (okay, 2 GB instead of 1 GB RAM would be nicer).

Battery life is absolutely okay for me, even if "Wake Lock" keeps the tab "online". Actually there is no update for fixing this.
