[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CayenneGTS:
Based on some quick reading Android 5.1.1 (LMY48G) is an updated version of Android 5.1.1 (LMY47V)

I have the former and can't root my device with the Nexus Root Toolkit v2.0.5. Is there any other way to root my device? I've searched online and used a manual method using the command line with the ADB drivers, but still can't root it. What are my options here?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
Hello,

I had been having great time with my Zenfone 2 ZE550ML but then suddenly a severe problem started. It started shutting down and switching on itself. Once the problem starts, it goes on for long. When the phone switches off itself while I am using it or its sitting idle in my pocket, and I hold power button to switch it back one, it shuts down again at asus logo. Only way I can make it work is my connecting the charger, and that too only for reaching the home screen where I also get prompted for the menu which you get when you are holding power button (the Power Off, Airplane Mode, etc). I removed the back plate to check the power button and its still tacky and intact, no signs of it being pressed. I don't know what is causing this problem. The power button menu (The power off, airplane mode menu which you get on holding the power button) keeps appearing at random times. Sometimes, it won't relax and go completely mad.

I have tried :

1) Wiping cache partition

2) Doing a factory reset.

3) Using phone in safe mode (problem still exists).

Will try downgrading to 2.18 firmware tomorrow and will let you know. So, for now, let me know if any of you have any solution for this problem. That would be appreciated. Need more info? Ask me :)

Recently : The phone had been fine for a few days and the shut down problem has started again.

My firmware version : 2.19.40.23 (it's the latest)

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
I had random shutdowns and reboots as well (with the 551), albeit not as advanced as the issues you have, but they all went away after flashing SuperZen (I realize this isn't really an option for your phone).

But then again, because of how advanced it is (turning on by itself), it sounds like a hardware issue (like the power button - in spite of it looking okay).
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asus_USA:
This sounds like it may be a hardware related issue. If the problem still exists after downgrading, it may require sending in for warranty service. If you are within the USA or Canada and would like RMA assistance please feel free to contact me direct at cl-frank@asus.com

Sincerely,

ASUS_USA

I am getting occasional shutdowns when playing from Spotify over bluetooth when connected to my car (AUDI) and bluetooth receiver at the same time.

Flashing CM12.1 also didn't help...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
What kind of shut downs did you have on your phone before flashing SuperZen? Was it on firmware version 2.19? Also, I think I forgot to mention, my phone sometimes switches down itself while at the ASUS logo (in search of incredible subline). I really don't know what to do until I downgrade the system version. Will let you know. :)

Hello, I am sorry, I am not in USA but India. I still appreciate your offer and help, thank you so much :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
I have a better idea. If possible, can any of you send me a picture of power button with the case removed. As well as the power button on internal side of case. I hope I made my words clear. I want the pictures so that I can see if my piece is defectrd. Can't send mine as I don't have a secondary phone/camera with me atm.

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Don't know what you mean regarding kind of shutdowns - sometimes I would come back to my phone, and (early on) it would be completely off - I turn it on, and there's plenty of battery life left. Later on, I would pull the phone out of my pocket, and the external storage mounted message would be waiting for me (theat, and once I actually felt the phone vibrate in my pocket only to mind that message later on).

Lack of logs (e.g last_kmsg) left me high and dry as to what the issue was. By the way, I was on 2.19.40.20 at the time (with BL unlocked earlier that week).

Don't know how good it will be to you - image quality is terrible - but please see attached.

Looks like mine has a little wear and tear on the button already.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
Hello, thanks for reply and images. My buttons look exactly the same apart from the first image. The cloth like thing on my power button is not flat like yours. I fixed it and the problem still prevails.

Anyway, I am now in process of downgrading the firmware. Will update ASAP.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
Okay, so the problem still exists after downgrading :(
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Very possible that even though the power button looks okay, it could still be malfunctioning. And since there is no easy way to check the leads to it on the mainboard, seems as though you are down to two choices (and you cannot do both since the latter will void any warranty left):

Get it serviced (as in, send it away for such)

Do the tear-down yourself (and all the risks that come with it)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
I will go to a service center next week.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asus_USA:

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
Okay guys, its been a while now. My phone got fixed itself after the previous post by ASUS_USA. It got fixed itself so I decided not to take it to service center for now. But now, it again started the problem. Much worse this time. Phone got shut down with it reached 90% (happened twice). 90% exactly while charging. Today it got shut down again at 90% while charging, I tried to boot it up but it won't boot up at all :(. I shows asus logo at random times and goes off by itself. Taking it to service center now :(

I think I should've listened to my friend about not getting an ASUS phone in the first place :(
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardik344:
Guys at service center said that my phone's motherboard is defective so I sent it away for 5-6 days. But my question is, how is this even possible? The phone had been working fine for the first month. Are there any chances that motherboard will get defective once again after repair?

I'm experiencing similar issues with my ZenFone 2 Laser. Can you tell why it's happening? Did u got your phone serviced?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stryderpoa:
Hello.

My phone is also having this problem. I was on Lineage, did factory reset, got back to stock but none of these worked.

Now my phone only works when pluged to the charger. If I disconect to the charger it only lasts about 5 minutes.

I will try to take my phone to Asus service this week, but please inform about yours as well.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmilcsx:
What are you currently running and why?

I performed my first root a week ago and downgrading to kit Kat was awesome. I've tried Moar and optimal Roms for lollipop now and my battery still gets wrecked.

I do use my phone a lot, streaming audio and Web / forum use. However, even after debloating and greenifying all apps aside from streams, I still can't make it all on day on 100% battery.

Would swapping to a Kit Kat rom help? What do you suggest?

Examples of use: pandora, podcasts, netflix, HBO go, plex, tapatalk, etc. I keep 50% brightness all the time.

Any tips welcome!

------------------

edit: last night, I reflashed optimal based off oc4 lollipop 5.0, skipped wizard and ran the adb debloater. aside from that. calibrated my battery, running greenish on all apps except video and audio streams. I run minimal WiFi data Bluetooth and no location services with 50% brightness.

my battery life is still just OK.

I am using custom rom aicp which is based on lollipop 5.1 and zapdos kernel and battery backup is better than kitkat. I do use YouTube very much so in my opinion its better in battery as well as performance.

And pls quote the comment so that i can get notified by xda.

Thank you for responding. It's very very difficult to get any senior advice or responses here :\

I get it as I am a member of many other forums and you get sick of the repeated questions. However, I've done hours of google searches and can't come to any conclusive answers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
I get that you're trying to help, but if you don't own the device and don't know the nuances of the phone how much can you really help. Lucky he didn't follow your advice, try flashing CM12, and brick his phone.

You cannot flash CM12 on this phone, and I don't think you can flash custom kernels. This is because the Verizon Galaxy S5 has a locked bootloader. As you have already found, you can flash SOME custom Touchwiz ROMs but not many. As far as Kit Kat versus Lollipop, that is really a personal preference in terms of what features you are looking for in a ROM and OS version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piyushkashyap216:
The link that i gave him for verizon sg s5 and in comments peoples are reporting the are not facing any issue that's y i gave him that cm link
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
The link you gave is for the KLTEVZW which is the developer edition not the retail version like the OP has. Completely different phones in that the dev edition has an unlocked bootloader and the retail version does not. Dev edition can run CM, retail version cannot. Just a helpful fyi for you and the OP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piyushkashyap216:
Thanks my bad

But cant boot loader be unlocked coz mine was also locked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Nope. Cannot unlock the bootloader on the retail version.
[G4 Accessories] DeMiNe0:
Hello,

I am currently employed as a top secret spy. I am in need of a bullet proof phone case for my LG G4. My plan is to always keep it in my front left shirt pocket, just in case some no good, would-be evil villain tries to shoot me in the heart.

Please respond and do the needful. You are my only hope.

Love,

~ DeMiNe0

P.S. ~ I am been informed by 20degrees that the heart is actually not where I had orignally thought it was. I am also now in the market for a trendy shirt with either a. a third middle pocket, or b. one single middle pocket.
[G4 Accessories] 20degrees:
But the heart is actually closer to the center of the chest..... ?
[G4 Accessories] DeMiNe0:
Well ****.....

OP Edited!
[G4 Accessories] capflya:
Why not just wear shirts with an arrow pointing to a less life threatening area with a caption that reads "My hear is actually located here" ?
[G4 Accessories] Zion Lion:
Yeah, it is actually centred, but the left ventricle is bigger than the right side, so it appears to be to the left.
[G4 Accessories] scooter1942:
I had the Urban Armor Gear case for the Galaxy S3, and it took quite a bit of abuse. I got it for the G4, and it seems just as sturdy. The fit and finish is perfect, even with the leather back. They have two, both transparent. One is clear, and the other is smoky. They apparently have certified military grade drop protection. I read a story from someone who had one for the GS3 that dropped it off their motorcycle going 30mph, and the phone was completely fine.
[G4 Accessories] superbonto:
well if u really need a bulletproof case

i suggest you buy some cheap hardcase from ebay or amazon

then you go buy a nice block of steel, or titanium, or maybe vibranium if you can get your hands on

then you find your nearest blacksmith or metal workshop, then forge or mold the metal block you have into the shape of the hardcase

and maybe you should kill the blacksmith, the metal seller, and the ebay/amazon seller, because you don't want to get your cover blown, right

[G4 Accessories] gunfan:
You should buy the zerolemon case and battery. That thing could probably stop a bullet and could also be used to hit an enemy over the head.
[G4 Accessories] nexy33:
poetic revolution case also doubles as a handy brick for beating would be assassin to death.
[G4 Accessories] ironbesterer:
Easy, Tony Stark can make you one! You oughta know him, right?
[G4 Accessories] FreezyExp:
Have you looked into carbon nanotubes?

Every spy agency should have at least some of this material available for standard field work.

It offers flexibility and low weight.

Perfect for a nice bullet proof suit, with pockets anywhere you desire.

Then you could just use a fancy case and look even more awesome.

You could add some piezo electric generators and combine it with a Qi charger.

Spare power could be sent to your other spy gadgets.

DeMiNe0,

Carry two G4s stacked for double protection. You won't have to worry about running out of battery either! :) Put the thicker, higher capacity batteries into each phone for quadruple protection. :)

Hi, Ive had my Verizon GS5 for about a year now, and I just installed 5.0 Lolipop, and I hate it.. I want to root my phone and go back to KitKat.. Ive been reading through the forum and all the guides seem to be for BAC4 or something else.. I don't see anything that is explaining what to do for BOC4..

The one guide I was looking at was this one:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-kitkat-t3088571

Where someone in post #3 asks if it will work for BOC4, and it was stated to NCG retail stock instead of step 1.. If I download that instead of step 1, is everything else in the guide exactly the same? Im semi lost.. Im pretty noob to this, though I did root my GS3 which I found pretty easy to do..

Also if this is the wrong guide or if there is an easier guide to follow can someone link me to the steps I need?

I also read somewhere else about d/l superuser 1st? And it will not trip the knox counter?

Also do I need to backup all my phone settings and stuff before I start this whole process? And how do I go about that?
