[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Only Note5 and S6 Edge Plus...

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Note5-vs-Galaxy-S6-first-look_id72405

We are yet to draw more detailed conclusions about the Galaxy Note5’s camera performance, but the initial impressions are for a snappy camera that captures great images. We also noticed that the double-click quick activation shortcut is present here as well, and Samsung has added the option to control shutter speed in the Pro camera mode.

But still a good news there, I think we'll have manual shutter speed in Pro mode soon.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikodu:
Hello everyone!

During the last few days I had a bricked nexus 6. Bootloader locked, no adb, no custom recovery. After several hard resets using stock recovery, the phone could boot. However, in the configuration process, it kept asking me for gmail account that was previously synced with the device. After some research, I discovered that it was a feature introduced with 5.1 and that I had to contact the seller ( which was impossible in my case as I bought it abroad). Another solution was to downgrade, but again it was impossible because I had no adb, no custom recovery, no bootloader unlocked. Surprinsingly, I went to a place here in Morocco where there are some people who flash phones and repair them. I asked one of them about my issue and he told me that it can be repaired. I am just dumbfounded as now I have a " working nexus 6".

I still cannot believe it! How couldn't I find a solution first here in xda? Or Am I missing something?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No one here knows how to bypass it. As far as we are aware, it cannot be done.

Perhaps your team have some special hardware to do it.

Anyway, even if we did know, there would be an ethical debate about releasing that info. No one would tell you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikodu:
Thank you so much for your clarification. It's true that the reset device protection is something useful which won't let thieves use our phones, however, there are many people like me who bought their phones legally but got stuck there due to a bad flash or because the seller forgot to erase his account before reset.

And yeah! those people have probably something special or they just know too much in coding.... ( some commands maybe we don't know )
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The problem is that there is no way to give information (even if we had it) to those who legally purchased whilst also preventing it getting into the wrong hands.

Those who purchase legally should be protected by testing the device first, a credit card buyer protection/PayPal, contact with the seller or returns policy. Buying outside this is pretty foolish.

I would be interested to know how they did it though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
Was the phone bricked when you bought it, or did you brick it after using it with your google account.

If you used your google account then it would have been tied to you. If that is the case then they fixed some other error.....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaHardison:
Just because this phone using eMMC,not some fuse in CPU to log the ID.So,just change device id,imei.Everything is fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRub1Out:
I know I've done several factory resets and it always asks for that, BUT, if you flash the stock firmware and have your sim in it I've had it skip that process entirely.

You can try flashing, check if it asks, then flash it again? I know I've bypassed it in the past "accidentally" by doing that.

Maybe it still somehow knows its me? Idk.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sorry, but the only person that can help you is the person you bought the device from. They will need to sign in to the device, remove their account from the device, then factory reset before you will be able to use it. And before you ask, no, there is no other way to resolve this.

P.S. While the site appreciates that you actually searched for a thread related to your problem, this is the Nexus 6 forum. In the future, your questions are better asked here.

If you follow the directions you will be able to bypass it. This new little security thing was bypassed within hours of it being known about.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-frp-bypass-solution-usb-otg-t3261846

The easies way is unlock the bootloader, and flash the device with the latest stock image.

[MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION]: Guess I learned something new.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you dont learn something new every day then it is a wasted day man. We all learn new things every day. No matter what security is implamented it will be bypassed ini short order. Heck FP scanner was bypassed within days, Facial rec was done in hours. This one didnt take that long either.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Knowing it's possible is one thing. Explaining how to do it is another. I believe in the future I'm just not going to respond at all to people asking how to bypass the lockout. After responding to someone on these forums who admitted bypassing the account lockout on a found phone, I have to assume that anyone trying to bypass the lockout is a thief.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is what we do here. We bypass things. Mainly security features. Just look at all the features the OEMS use to lock things down. Things like root, S-off (HTC devices) Bootloader unlocks that dont trip knox (samsung), Bypassing fingerprint and facial rec locks, bypassing pattern/number locks and such.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
All those things that you mention aren't anti-theft measures. Those things are the hoops we have to jump through to take control of the devices we've bought and paid for, or are in the process of paying off. They are not intended to prevent the device from being used if the device is lost or stolen.

The account lockout is an anti-theft measure, and I firmly believe that discussing means of circumventing an anti-theft measure should not be allowed on XDA. Obviously, I do not make the rules for the site, nor am I anybody important. But this is simply not acceptable, and I have a problem with it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Thing like lockscreen locks, fp locks and facial rec are meant to lock the device yet we show time and time again how to bypass them.

As it is common knowledge that all you have to do is format all partitions and flash a stock image and boom it is bypassed.

To be honest no anti theft measure will ever work on an open source platform mainly not a nexus. That is just something that people have to come to terms with.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
One thing to keep in mind is: just because something can be used for nefarious purposes, doesn't mean that there aren't legitimate reasons for it.

For example, in this case, many users bought Nexus 6s off eBay and Swappa, for which the previous owner did not remove his/her Google account before selling the device. At the time (the feature was brand new, and it was not widely known that one needed to remove the Google account before selling the device), there was no way to remove the account without either returning the device to the previous owner for him to remove the account (which would result in significant shipping costs and/or duties if purchased out of country), or have the previous owner give the buyer his Google account credentials (to remove the account), neither of which is a good option. Thus, the device was unusable. So, a work-around was found. Granted, the work-around could be used for nefarious purposes, but it helped out a lot of legitimate users.

Now, that being said, Google has since added a feature to your Google account settings where you can actually remove the device from a web browser (rather than having to have the device in hand), so there really isn't any legitimate need for a work-around, at least not for the N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unlike discussions of IMEI cloning, discussing how to bypass this is not illegal. I understand that, but that doesn't change my belief that it shouldn't be discussed. Reason being that bypassing this is unethical, and the people on this site - members and moderators alike - should not be promoting unethical acts.

I guess it's too much to expect people to be ethical. I must have been born in the wrong century.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
How are you going to flash a factory image if the bootloader is locked?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Simple. You enter the password wrong enough times for it to reset the device. Then at that point once it wipes the device then you can use one of the bypasses. At which time you can boot up and then unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
How many times does it take to wipe the device I just entered mine wrong 10 times to test and nothing happened
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To be honest I have seen some say it kicks in after 10 wrong tries and some say it takes longer. Mind you this is supposed to wipe the whole device, including internal storage so be careful. I have never had to try it myself as I dont bother with a password for my device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:

[P3600 General] KuRi:
Hi!

I have a problem with my p3600. It is wifi related.

There are some wifi's that, when i connect i can navegate for a little time, then it suddenly stops working (says connecting....) and then wifi won't work again until i reset the device (stop/start wlan doesn't work, it doesn't find the AP's again, no networks found).

When i soft reset, everything works again, but when i connect, and try to navigate, it stops again.

I have tried almost everything (move slider of power to the left...).

I am not sure but i think it only happens with some wifi's...

Any Help? Thanks!

Hi everyone

This is my very first post to XDA.

Hope my query comes through correctly and is of help to others as well.

Well, for the last couple of months I have been trying to figure out which bluetooth headset from Sony (SBH52 AND MW1) is better over the other in terms of-

1)Sound ie, after reading a lot I have known that the MW1 packs a Wolfson Dac but just could not figure out if it's the same or better on the SBH52?

2)Are the live Sound ear buds MH1A on the MW1 any better than the Mh755 in terms of the audio quality?

Is it possible that the Mh755 have been improved over the years?

This is because the whole SBH52 family of headsets have them instead of the live Sound ear buds.

3)And lastly the SBH52 being newer in comparison to the MW1 have any technical advantage in terms of the usability over the MW1.

And has anyone tried to couple the live Sound ear buds with the SBH52 and experienced the overall improvement or degradation in the sound?

Because I have the live Sound ear buds and would like to buy the SBH52 and use it with them.

I know a lot to ask but it'll really be a great help if you can help.

Thanks

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huheeje:
Tried full wipe of album art cache in power amp. I guess something must have went wrong.

Now, I can not:

-connect to pc with usb (only mass storage works so pc companion can't help me)

-download apps

-when entering file manager it hangs after a few clicks

-gallery doesn't load properly. The app hangs while trying to load content.

- can not enter recovery mode with hard buttons.

My conclusion is there is something wrong with the internal storage.

I do have an sd card but the problems continue with it disconnected.

Factory reset is an option I guess, but I would very much want to backup my messages. If I could get something like a wifi based "backup messages to gmail"-app on there that would help me. But I can't install apps through play.

If I could wipe the whole internal storage and somehow reset it, without resetting the firmware or messages, that would maybe solve it, I don't know.

I'm not a techie kind of guy do please have patience with me! Any help appreciated!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kirbyb:
I have two hw6515a phones. One mostly works, but resets randomly. The other is seemingly brand new. The 'new' phone does not function as a phone. The 'details' tab does not show any information regarding the GSM radio stack software. I've saved the ROM contents from the 'working' phone to an SD card.

Inserting that SD card into the 'new/non-functioning' phone, and doing a 'hard' reset (power and pin-hole reset) with that SD card in doesn't do anything. On the screen is USB at the top, the HP logo in the middle, and V0.21 at the bottom. I tried running the pnewbootloader DOS bat file in XDA tools, but it just seemingly hangs. Pressing power/pin-hole reset does a reset, and now, unplugged from the USB cradle it says "Serial' at the top. It would seem I need a new bootloader to be able to reflash my 'working' phone's flash image. The HP tools to reflash the radio stack software all hang.

I'm able to save the ROM image both phones using the XDA OS Image Tool.

Normally custom roms are not built for Odin. Odin uses tar files. Custom roms are flashed through custom recoveries, and Knox is tripped when you put a custom recovery on your phone.

Wysłane z mojego SM-G900F przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetaddict24:
Odin does not support zip files in any way, shape or form. It's used for writing .tar or .img files directly into the respective partition on the NAND memory. Very few custom ROM's are in this format, and they are mostly used for chinese phones (which have their own flashing tools). There is no such ROM for the S5, all of them are in zip format.

So for these "mainstream" phones, any custom ROM, be it stock-based, be it AOSP-based, must be installed from a custom recovery (TWRP, etc.), which is by itself installed from odin. And installing a custom recovery, even if you don't modify a thing, will still trip the knox counter and void your warranty.
