[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magister54:
Take the firmware from Asus website, for me I took UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip

Boot the phone in bootloader and try to go in the recovery screen, it took me a lot of tries to get in it!!!

From here you can select "insall update from ADB"

From your PC you do a "adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip"

When i try to do this, i see the error sign but it is flashing
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
That's normal. When you get the error sign when booting into stock recovery, hold power down and press volume up and quickly release both buttons at the same time. If done correctly recovery menu will pop up and then you can start actually flashing.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudasameer450:
Flashing

does this still work if the screen is flashing, because I tried before and it did not work, maybe I pressed it wrong or there is some other issue.

Thanks

I chose those hours because of the appearance, like the most

but I hope that will recovery custom and custom firmware (with optimized power and software for owners of Iphone)

[Asus ZenWatch] Shawandev:
I faced the same problem ,then figure out how to fix the issue.

2. Uninstalled the latest Android Wear app make sure clear cache and clear data before do it.

3. Factory reset Moto 360. now Install Android Wear screen

Quick guide for people having trouble rooting/unlocking bootloader and custom recovery LG-D320/N/L70 devices running 4.4.2 with a new 3.4.0+ kernel

This way is easier then any root method and NO PC is required

Simple, straight forward, takes not even 5 minutes.

First download and install these 3 apps.

CPU Benchamark

Terminal Emulator

KingoRoot.apk

Second, download this zip file and extract the "mrw" folder to your phones internal memory(/sdcard)

ReplaceKingoRoot.zip

Third, open CPU Benchtest app and press the "stress test" box, then minimize the app and open Kingo ROOT app and press the "ROOT" bubble

Fourth, Kingo ROOT says your device is rooted open Terminal Emulator and type the following

su

Your device will ask if Terminal Emulator can be granted root permissions, allow it then proceed to type the following

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

Then SuperSU will automatically open and ask to update SuperSU binaries, select the "update" box and when it asks you how you want to update it select the "normal" box

Five, Restart your phone when SuperSU says you need to restart for the update to take effect

Now, unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery, fortunately i made a tool for this with the required files.

simply download this, unzip it onto the desktop and run LGTOOL.BAT by double clicking it and follow the instructions.

[Android General] Ricky Divjakovski:
every device should be able to gain full flexibillity, no matter how old, how new, how popular or unpopular and device i get my hands on will gain full access :)

time to make a custom rom now :)
[Android General] AndroidAddict||AA:
I think everything is done "custom ROM" wise. AOSP, cm11, cm12, carbon (by me) and other ROMs
[Android General] Ricky Divjakovski:
ofcoarse its done custom rom wise, you can modify a rom with root access but to safely modify a rom and test recovery is mandatory

Yea i have the same problem with this i've done everything right step by step but seems cant find the location of the root can anyone help me or the topic is dead :) ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lowresolution:
Hi Team,

Last week when trying to update to 5.1.1 through ODIN , i faced a hectic soft brick issue . I am on Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925)

Described here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/5-1-1-manual-update-stuck-g925f-t3173112#post62207108

The boot loop/ no recovery situation was resolved by flashing TWRP and a Custom ROM. The phone has been working flawless after that.

Now i am kinda guy who is more into stock ROM / OS etc. I wanted to ask if i can now flash 5.1.1 Stock BTU firmware from ODIN ? will i face the same issue ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roydok:
Yes, you can safely flash stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardyboy_samy:
i have a problem with my mobile s6 dual sim international variant and i wanna try fresh instal as it may solve my problem

the mobile box tickets and if i dial *#1234# say model : SM-G920FD

but settings and odin mode say model : SM-G920F (as single sim)

so can i download the G920F rom for my mobile from sammobile

>>>>another Q about country >>>i bought my mobile from Qatar and i live in Egypt

i found many arab country variant including EGYPT / UAE / SAR but no Qatar

so can i download the 1 for Egypt .... it has the same PDA and CSC of my current version

thx ,,,
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
Sure you can flash it but you will loose the dual sim functionality.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lummujaj:
No you wont lose dual sim functionality... ive dual sim and i flashed g920f 5.1.1 rom than installed recovery and flashed a costom rome.xtrolite or dont remeber the correct name rom and works PERFECT ...so fast so smoth
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
Of course you have the dual functionality after flashing XtreStoLite because it recognizes you phone as dual sim and automatically flashes the right files for a dual sim. But when you flash a single sim rom you wont have the dual sim fuctionality.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lummujaj:
Lol....

Ive downloaded from sammobile g920f... bcoze g920fd doesnt exist as firmware. Idk how it works maybe all g920f packages have included dual sim function. Every official rom stock one, g920f you flash you gona have dual sim. Ive tested it... and others can confirm. Go in general there is a thread "s6 dual sim" and you gona find a lot answers. One of them is what i said
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardyboy_samy:
i have installed a variant for g920f egypt by odin mode but nothing changed at all even the csc code of my device is for iran ...it didn't change as nothing happen

Hi all,

I hope I'm writing in the right place, I'm sorry if I'm not.

I'm trying to find a guide (included link for download) to root the Mlais M7. I'm not an expert with this kind of things (even if I'm working in IT) so I'm afraid to brick my M7.

I'd like to root my phone for trying to find solution for its bad life battery (and maybe to fix the notification led's problem).

Could anyone give some guide/tutorial link or tell me exactly what I need and what I have to do step by step?

Thank you very much in advance

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voltaine:
Hello guys

I aquired a z3 one day ago and got a question.

Is it possible to

Root the phone -> backup the drm keys -> unlock bootloader -> restore the partition with the keys -> flash a rom that requires an unlocked bootloader?

Do i have full camera quality/functionality then?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6435605:
Hey

If you unlock, you can backup your DRM

If you restore your DRM, it will relock so no unlocked rom will work.
[One (M9) General] Theandroidfan:
Idk if you guys have noticed but HTC is declining at an alarming rate http://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/08/13/htc-cuts-15-of-its-workforce-as-it-battles-poor-sales/ and they're worthless http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/10/htc-is-now-essentially-worthless-and-insecure/#.lb8fpr:0sl9 . So do you guys think HTC is doomed or will they make a comeback?
[One (M9) General] johnerz:
LOL I read those same links and came up with a different conclusion than you..........................................

In the short term profits are non existent, but that does not mean they are down and out.

Look at most of the USA's motor manufacturers, they were in the same boat not to long back :)
[One (M9) General] Alcolawl:
It's funny you mention this. I was displaying something at work the other day to a coworker and a few of his friends. After the video was over, someone asked: "What phone is that?" I said "The HTC One M9". He responded with "HTC? Wow I haven't seen anyone with an HTC in a long time." The rest of the group nodded. That's when I realized that HTC is behind in the game, even if their Flagship product continues to out-pace the S6 and G4 in terms of battery life and build quality. When people think of buying a new phone the first thing that pops into their heads are either the iPhone or Samsung. Samsung is a massive company that has been saturating the market with advertisements for years. But even moving passed them, what are some other phone manufacturers that normal, non-tech savvy people would think of. LG is a familiar name. HTC? Not so much.

HTC needs to get its name out there. Its making quality devices and no one seems to care. The M9 wasn't a big departure from the M8 in terms of looks and when people buy phones they want to be noticed. A phone is every bit an upgrade to the person's communication capabilities as it is a social status. For the buyers that do research before purchasing a new device, they probably stumbled upon the slew of articles proclaiming the Snapdragon 810's heat problems. They also probably read about the lackluster camera. While the camera, after many updates, is quite good, it still doesn't have basic features like OIS. Unfortunately, we live in a society where the camera is the most important part of the phone; thanks to Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, etc. People want a phone that they can just point and shoot in any condition and take a good photo. So when I read articles like the ones you posted above, I find myself not really that surprised. HTC has struggled to keep up with the likes of Samsung, LG and Motorola. Period.

As for me, the M9 is nice, but I absolutely cannot wait for the new Nexus 5 to come out this year. The development community here has some nice content but between Sense and the lack of sources coming from HTC, I find myself missing my old N5 more and more. This will be the last HTC device I'll ever own.
[One (M9) General] CaseyChaos666:
Yeah because Apple totally redesign their phones every year and wouldn't possibly ship the same phone again with an S badge on it. People still queue for days down the street for it.
[One (M9) General] iElvis:
They're in trouble, yes. Even a killer M10 might not be enough because the market is just saturated and the margins on flagship phones are so thin. And they're going to have trouble rolling out a killer phone for the simple reason that nobody can afford to max out the specs anymore and still sell their phones at a profit. I mean, look what happened with the OP2. Even Samsung had to cut corners on the S6 (battery, sdcard slot).

Samsung is surviving on marketing and market share, but when the cheap smartphones from China start really flooding the market, things are going to change for everyone.
[One (M9) General] DeadPotato:
Despite the negation of some, HTC is at its darkest hour. If the hero product coming doesn't turns out to be a real hero, I'm afraid the M10 will be the last :( for them to succeed they need both to be successful, and considering the middle tier and phones like the Redmi Note 2 out there, it's gonna be really hard
[One (M9) General] B. East:
In my humble opinion, HTC should try not to compete with Apple and Samsung, but move in a new direction. They should move to a more niche market, keeping the things they are good at and also creating a device that comes rooted, so people who like all the modding can have a device that would truly unique to them or bespoke.

Samsung and Apple are to big now for HTC to compete with, so heading in a completely different directions may save HTC, but the company would be a lot smaller than it is now.
[One (M9) General] PaoloMix09:
Great post, I'm with ya... In my case, I miss my OnePlus One just like you miss your Nexus 5. I'm planning on getting one of the two new Nexus that are coming out in October as well, and the M9 is probably going to be my last HTC device as well.

I have a lot of htc devices before i buy sgs3 and then sgs5. I go for sammy because there was too many hardware issues with htc phones. But touchwiz i the ugliest launcher. I just can'tuse it. So i install cm on my samsungs. But there was always something that doesnt work as it should. Now with m9 i am very happy again. I would definitely support this copamny in future. I don't know why people are expecting so different design. Not always different is good.
[One (M9) General] cougzzz:
I hope it doesn't lose ground. I know this isn't a popular device amongst the 2015 flagships. Definitely doesn't beat m8 in terms of popularity either. Their main focus is their next phone but hope htc continues to give us timely updates and support for this device. My only concern.

It's sad that my dad even knows this company is struggling and he doesn't know anything about smartphones.
[One (M9) General] Seanie280672:
I'm hoping HTC doesn't die either, pretty much the only phone on the market I like due to the sense overlay, don't like Samsung's touchwiz and as for the rest, LG, Sony etc, well you may as well just get a Nexus, and Sony are rubbish for updates in my experience, Cant stand I don't know phones.

M9 is currently available on Virgin Mobile for half the price it was 4 months ago, sorry all those who grabbed it as soon as it came out on a 2 year contract and are paying double :crying: current price is not a good sign, still may grab one however when my contract comes up for renewal in November, maybe it will be a bit cheaper.

HTC are upsetting a lot of people at the moment with them promising updates and then not bothering, M8 just lost its August update, we now have to wait till android M release, and I can really see by the time its ready, they will use the excuse that the device is over 2 years old so no update, so still no Sense 7 unless you go custom rom, if XDA developers can do it, why cant HTC ?

HTC Mini 2 aka M8 mini, only got a year of updates, didn't even get Lollipop, not a very happy Mrs. promised by HTC then cancelled.

M7 updates got the 2 year excuse and left with a buggy Lollipop, which were fixed by Google 4 weeks later in 5.1.
[One (M9) General] Theandroidfan:
I miss the HTC that made good phones like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfSxWNOG8DQ That video gives me a nostalgia overload.
[One (M9) General] cougzzz:
Looks like htc is digging a bigger hole for the m9 with the a9 being announced in September.

The support for this device is going to downtrend fast.
[One (M9) General] DeadPotato:
If they do a good job with the initial release that doesn't needs to be true; It will include the latest android version, so no need to worry about system updates probably until android M, it will include the stagefright patches, so no need to worry about that either. If it includes a good camera and gets rid of Snapdragon 810, there won't be a need of constant firmware updates and even if it includes the 810, they've improved it so much so far, so there would be no need to firmware updates, cause they passed for that with the M9 already.

Again that's assuming they're going to announce sometihng at IFA, which is yet uncertain.
[One (M9) General] lilhaiti:
Simply put...nowadays phone manufacturers don't need to build the best phone to sell the "best" phone, they just have to make it the most popular phone. People outside of XDA don't buy a phone because it has killer features, or superior build quality, or the best camera; they buy a phone because the marketing department said it was the best phone on the market, plain and simple. If HTC wants to catch up, all they need to do is change the look of the M10 and focus on marketing it heavily. HTC has been building top tier smartphones for some time now and they have lost the market game to Samsung and Apple every year.

And also, don't think for a minute that other manufacturers will not pay for negative press on competing phones. They know that public perception is what drives public reception. I am quite certain that Samsung "influenced" atleast a few of the bad review that the M9 received. I am the proud owner of an M9 and although it hasn't been the best phone that I have ever owned, it is FAR from as bad as some of the reviews made it out to be; but if you read the reviews and base your phone decision off of them, you would think the M9 was a piece of junk to be avoided.

All HTC needs to do is figure out some hip gimmicks and marketing (not for us, but for the public), and they will be just fine.
[One (M9) General] dlads:
Htc is for people who don't want to go with the sheep of the phone world, plus once you've had a decent high end htc device you'll always be looking back if you switch to let's say a Samsung or an apple device. They're always really close to getting it perfect, this time round it's obviously the camera which is still good but you need to tweak it a bit, personally I'd always chose htc, they're great phones, especially since the m7.

In terms of overall sales, no they're not doing as well as Samsung and apple, bare in mind though that Apple and samsung sell lots of other devices besides phones, htc do not. A fresh approach needs to happen in terms of marketing, and a thoroughly tested flagship with every angle covered, plus I don't think it's necessary for them to release several phones per year. A flag ship and a budget phone would suffice, allowing them to optimise the devices properly. Having an E an E+ an m9 and an m9+ with desires popping up all over the place for me is far too much.

Time will tell, but I don't think they're down and out.
[One (M9) General] AndyLeJizm:
This is my sixth HTC phone and still happy with it. Sad though they can't keep up with the telecom market nowadays.. I would say HTC ain't dead, but it had its better days. Hopefully they strike back with a stunning 2016 flagship. They really deserve a better position or either everybody's attention like last year with the m8 in my opinion :)
[One (M9) General] anlygi:
I have only ever known HTC Android phones. I am on my 4th, 5th if you count the G1. I love the build quality and Sense. They are the only ones that can build an Android phone to rival the quality of an iPhone. I have never had an iPhone either, I was BlackBerry before and Nokia before that but have had a few iPads. The only option for me if HTC go under is Sony, who may also not be in this game for much longer, or god forbid an iPhone.

As someone else mentioned, once the Chinese brands nail the quality and ramp up the marketing it's game over for a lot of manufacturers. This extends into ALL areas of consumer electronics. Similar to what happened the Japanese giants when the South Koreans nailed it.
[One (M9) General] Snah001:
Well HTC won't go down that easy.

It is still sitting on a pile of cash that has more value than the stockvalue of the company at the moment.

But they must stop, when bringing new or enhanced features to a new model, to do their job only for 50%.
[One (M9) General] Theandroidfan:
It gets worse :( http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/06/h...-on-taiwans-stock-exchange-effective-sept-21/

http://www.mobileburn.com/24852/news/htcs-revenue-continues-to-tumble

Idk if I should switch to HTC in two years time when my contract is up. As much as I like their phones idk if they'll still be around then or if they'll actually update their phones by then because at the moment they barely update their phones.
[One (M9) General] dlads:
Another thing you should bare in mind as to how long these companies can take to die out. Just take a look at Blackberry and Nokia. Even though it's dead, Nokia is still making devices, they're niche and unique to have, for me making them better. Blackberry has eventually done what they should have done (as well as Nokia) moved to android.

So htc should be fine, they're innovators and they'll have something up their sleeves. They just need to test their devices more and finalise software, plus for me the one thing that has always been weak is their batteries and the cameras.

They'll still be making phones in five years, minimum. I've no doubt in that.
