[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hannez_r:
Generally, worst thing that can happen if you forget wiping before flashing, is bootloop. This can be fixed doing full wipe/factory reset in recovery after flashing. I did full wipe before downgrade attempt and still hard bricked my device. Maybe it's something related to bootloader, idk.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Luca TIR:
not for me to mind your own business, but from what I understand, reading all the topic, is that most people who have had problems with a3 / a5 was because upgraded to lollipop, were not satisfied,l, and have decided to go back to kitkat, and between one thing and another ... brick !!

This confirms to me that I was right to stay kitkat ... this device must be a bit "tricky" and suffers these procedures ....

lolli on a3 drain battery?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gggg:
Have you been rooted before or did you use flashfire (not flashify), because I went:

- rooted 4.4.4 (was rooted with kingroot before then supersume) Knox 0

- unroot with Super SU

- factory reseted

- odin 5.02

- tried kongroot, not possible

- not sure if I factory reset

- odin same 4.4.4

- hard brick (no charger symbol, even JIG didnt work, no sign from phone what so ever :(
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hannez_r:
Not noticeably more. My region was one of the last to receive Lollipop update on A3, so I think it could be somewhat more stable than earlier releases for other regions, idk.

No, I wasn't rooted before. Simlply did factory reset before and flashed with odin.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] droidqwerty:
Your A3 has been hard bricked (wrong bootloader). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't use fastboot unlike Sony, HTC and so on. If you brick your bootloader, even USV jig wouldn't work.

The best you could do is to flash a debrick image into an external sdcard (make sure you have the correct version and variant of the image) and then insert the sdcard into your phone. Try powering on after that.

Unfortunately, the chance of recovering this way may be slim as the method requires you to remove the battery and A3 doesn't have a removable battery.

If that doesn't work, you need to repair it using JTAG. I don't recommend it doing by yourself as it requires disassembling the device. Send it to a repair service, they can unbrick the phone.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I also downgraded, but I didn't have such issues. You may have flashed it wrongly (wrong way or wrong firmware).

Could you please tell me what did you tick or untick in the odin while downgrading?

Hello. I got a note 4 N910F for europe.

After 1 month it's freezing and it's pixelating.

He gets on the main menu and when I try to do something i get a little black window and... Frozen.

After 15 secs resets.

Help plss...

I tried to factory reset and delete cache but nothing stopped doing this for 1 hour and now is happening again i get multi color stuff little lines and dots on all screen.

Heeelp :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POLO_i780:
That is strange. Sounds like you have a faulty unit, I'd take it back A.S.A.P.

You could try flashing another region ROM.

Is your Note 4 carrier branded?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeyuDeyu:
I dont know if is branded. I think is from Israel and im from Romania but it works

Here im using Orange Romania.

But i dont know for 1 month worked like a charm.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeyuDeyu:
And i can't take it back i bought it from the internet...

If i go to Samsung Customer Service....?

I mean I saved a lot of money for this phone and now it brokes... :(?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Firstly try to contact the seller and inform them of your issues. They must have some sort of policy on faulty goods.

If that doesn't work then contact Samsung customer services and they should help you.

You could try to re-flash stock firmware for your region using Odin and doing a factory reset.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeyuDeyu:
But if re flash fails or idk...

I mean i can get bad imei.

I mean imei null.?

Im scared...

I already flashed a note 4 but my gf note she had a mode.... X note or something like that.

But i think this is different.

I bought it from the internet i mean it wasn't new...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Have you already triggered Knox?

If you have then install a custom recovery (TWRP) backup the EFS partition, this should make a copy of your IMEI just incase something were to happen.

Then go to a website such as Sammobile and enter your model number (N910f for Trltexx) then select your region and if you have carrier then select that too. Then download the .zip file and extract the contents and flash the file you extracted.

Make sure you manually boot into download mode (Volume down + Home while powering the device on.)

[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Thank you for this thread!

I followed the procedure. I downloaded the archive to the B112.

But the top of the window it says "Mediapad X2 703L Original Recovery B015 to ..."

And as I still can not reinstall the B112, is it 112 or 015? ...

And what is now very annoying is that I can't turn it off.

I could do it up there with the TWRP. But now I no longer have it. With Power + Vol- I arrive on a Chinese recovery. And there isn't this option to turn off the X2 (it is stuck at boot after a failed root)

So except to install TWRP again, I do not know what I can do.

EDIT :

I found a way to turn it off. Power + vol up, being connected by cable to the PC, the recovery is a little different than if it is not connected by cable. And the third option of the Chinese menu is to turn off the X2.

But since the beginning of my troubles, not so far to revive fastboot mode with power + vol down. And of course I do not know why.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
My files are good.

Attached images.

I do not know what to do.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Is B112 Recovery not B015!

Is USB Debugging enabled?

Or flash the Recovery.img via fastboot.

Copy the RECOVERY.img in your Adb/Fastboot Folder,Reboot into Bootloader an flash with this command:fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

Reboot
[Huawei MediaPad X2] elpabar:
Do not ask me why, but I don't have access to bootlaoder mode. I got 2 times with Power + Vol Down. I noticed by disconnecting my PC, I was in Hisuite mode instead of google mode. So I managed to stay google mode to start the bootloader mode. And since I moved each time by the TWRP to enter bootloader mode. And now as I flashed the original recovery of the Huawei B112, I no longer have the TWRP.

So I'm stuck.

Like I've said before, my so stuck in reboot. So apart from a few start-up modes, I can do nothing.

If someone allows me to access the bootloader mode, so it will solve a lot of problems ...

(Sorry for my English a little approximate ...)

I got a popup notification to upgrade over OTA: http://tafb.xxx/Screenshot_2016-06-17-16-16-49.png

But when I told it to do the upgrade it rebooted into TWRP, lol :(

So I restored the Android 5.1.1 B112 bootloader onto my phone (no more TWRP), and when it tried the upgrade it rebooted the phone, worked for a while, then said "failed".

Is it because the phone is still rooted? How to I fix it so that it can install the new stuff?

Let me know plz and thanks.

My wife has a SM-T230NU that I have tried a few of the available modified stock roms with. My issue is, currently running stockrom series on it, and am unable to get viper4android or any other dsp manager-like app to affect the bluetooth output whatsoever. Not a big issue just curious if device does not support this. I was unable to find any info about this in searches here or elsewhere. Thank you in advance.

I use Google Play Music to play mp3's, but have tried a couple other Audio players in an attempt to solve this, as I tried enabling Google Play Music's own equalizer while using bluetooth audio and it said something to the effect of "Disabled while casting."
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRoy_98:
If you successfully installed the Viper4android drivers, then you haveto select V4A as your default Equalizer.

Goto Settings --> Device -->Sound --> Music Effect and set V4A. Then reboot your device.

It's a depreciating asset, so the value of the phone will drop faster than the dollars would due to inflation. Smart inventors sell the phone now and invest the sale income into 401K asap.

Also consider writing down the phones value to you due to the opportunity cost of not getting your dream phone and being stuck with the LG G4, if you don't like it as your favorite. It's my favorite so I'd just stick with it as a way to avoid paying full price (which I've already done).

The update was already to provided to small group of our "UUF" testers, and we were told that it would be delivered by OTA to devices that had previously installed the first public build B309. Yesterday I told testers that the OTA update would arrive by today, but that does not appear to have happened yet. If you are still on B309 and you would like to download B320, please send me a private message with your gmail and I will share it with you."

I have two questions:

1. I checked for OTA updates, but I got "No Updates". Can we download the update manually.

2. I have TWRP installed. Does anyone have stock recovery for Lollipop because I didn't backup mine.

I have TWRP installed and the OTA update installed fine. I didn't need to flash stock recovery

Never had root. Just TWRP recovery so I could get my Wind version HAM to a OEM version.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Yes, but by updating to Lollipop you effectively had the stock recovery; not TWRP. Did you install TWRP after you upgraded to Lollipop ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheIgster:
Oh, damn, forgot about that. Good point. No, I did not, so I would have stock recovery. Never thought about the update after the fact to LP. My bad.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheIgster:
Could you downgrade to JB and then upgrade to LP again? Wouldn't that ensure you get stock recovery back?
