[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, well guess what? Anyone that is smart about ROM flashing has read the thread (for the ROM or ROMs they intend to flash). Not every page, but at least the past few (most recent) pages, to see if there are any common bugs, fixes, etc. You don't need to read every page, since older posts refer to older versions of the ROM, and previous bugs have often been resolved.

Asking others so you don't need to perform your minimum due diligence is just lazy, as Mr Hofs mentioned.

Using Titanium Backup batch restore function (well worth the few $ for the TB paid license), I can easily get a new ROM up and running in 20 minutes.

Honestly, in the time you've complained about how long it takes, and waiting for folks to respond to this thread; you could have flashed and setup 5 or more different ROMs and tried them out to see if you like them. And as long as you read through the ROM descriptions to see if they might fit your needs/preferences, it usually only takes flashing a couple ROMs to find the one that is right for you.

Again, this comes back to personal preference and subjectivity. What is considered bloatware by one user, is a useful app to another. There are a number of HTC Sense apps and Google apps that I find quite useful, that others consider "bloat".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
If you have a GSM M8, the Developer Edition removes all branding, most crapware, generally behaves like "classic Android" as it pertains to reading and writing /system, and is still bone stock - so you can get HTC OTA updates. However, I can certainly understand wanting to go to a different ROM for more control over appearance. I absolutely love CM12 on my old Galaxy S2 because I can make it look exactly like I want.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruhoortwunk:
Sounds interesting. Being able to do OTA updates is definitely a bonus
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
As mentioned previously, it's all

personal

preference:

do you want to be stock? -> OK go for dev edition, or WWE unbranded edition, BTW if you "root" you're not "stock"

do you like HTC Sense? -> narrow it down to one that has the features

you

like

don't like HTC Sense? -> try GPE

don't like GPE -> try CM, or any other AOSP based ROM

in no particular order

but

at the end of the day, you're going to have to make the decision yourself

you wanna try different ones, but want to keep your primary intact? then check M8 MultiROM (sorry dont have the link handy at the moment)

What's the best colour in the world:

(strangely enough, that poll/pie chart doesnt even have the correct colour assigned to each label :p)

PS: honestly, I preferred the days when these discussions were "short"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I like the "best color" analogy. Its very appropriate, as everyone has an opinion on it; but in the end, it doesn't matter what someone else's favorite color is (has no relevance to what your favorite will be).

And yeah, its pretty strange that the colors of the pie chart don't correspond to the color it represents.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Well, I really like purple for some things (but it looks <not sure what colour> on that chart), and also blue (which is orange) :confused: ... so I guess I'll go for red (which seems blue-ish) :p :good:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markachy:
Hi all,

I have a UK N910F 32GB Snapdragon Note 4, with a custom Lollipop rom that I've been using with no problems for a few months (http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881). Yesterday the weirdness began - my Note 4 froze randomly in normal use and rebooted. It was then fine for around 5 hours, then froze again, and when it restarted it would continue to freeze on start-up. At that stage I could still boot into recovery (Clockwork Manager custom recovery), so I tried clearing cache and dalvik, which changed nothing. But now I am unable to do even that - it just gets stuck in bootloop and won't even go into recovery.

When I turn it on, it will stay on the Samsung splashscreen for 10 seconds, then reboot and vibrate twice, then go back onto splashscreen, reboots, etc. I need to remove the battery to stop this. The only thing I am able to do is boot into download mode, where the phone works with Odin fine, and I am able to flash successfully with Odin.

So far I have tried reflashing a stock UK 5.0.1 ROM - it initially gave me the ext4 error but I then got the N910F pit file and repartitioned - Odin flashing completed fine, then still got stuck on splashscreen with "Recovery booting...."). I have also tried to flash CWM and TWRP, which both flash fine, but then the phone still won't boot into recovery - I get:

#1 Battery in

#2 power on

#3 vibrate

#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING

Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : recovery

and doesn't boot into recovery. I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct TWRP and CWM versions.

I've spent all day trawling XDA and the wider web with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm hoping it is a softbrick but cannot work out how to get it back. I don't care about losing any data at this stage, just keen to bring my Note 4 back to life!

TL;DR: phone will stay on bootloop when powered on - not caused by failed software install, just started happening randomly. Cannot boot into recovery. Download mode works and can flash with Odin, but all attempted flashes so far haven't helped even when Odin succeeds in flashing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
.

Have you tried flashing your variants cf-root file with auto reboot unchecked, let it Pass, remove USB abd battery, wait 30 seconds and reboot? Sounds weird.. i know, but for a while that put many users on 5.0.1 softbricks back to their previous working ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markachy:
I've just done that, it flashed successfully, I took battery and cable out and then rebooted after 30 seconds - it is now booting onto Samsung bootscreen, says:

RECOVERY BOOTING

Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : recovery

Then reboots itself, same thing happens, reboots itself - back to a bootloop, but with the above written.

What's the fix for the above? Does it mean the recovery installed is wrong for the Android Rom version I have?

Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phongpan355:
If you can still boot into the download mode and want to boot into the system as normal, using Samsung's Smart Switch tool will work. Search Google for "Samsung Smart Switch" no quotes, install the program then after finished installing, in the application, click MORE at the Smart Switch window, then click Emergency software recovery and initialization, then follow on-screen steps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markachy:
Just tried that, same issue. When it boots after installation, it says "Recovery booting..." in top left corner, then goes into bootloop. Thanks for the tip though.

Any other ideas out on the grapevine? Or is it time for a return?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertAG:
I'm having the same issue. Tried stock ANK4, BOB4 and BOC3. Only bootloops and can't reach recovery mode.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
It could be something as simple as an bad connection it happens all the time, any flexing of the tablet can cause connectors to become loose, or damage could have happened to the display they are very sensitive and drops and bangs can damage them.

If you are still in warranty get it repaired or replaced, or take it to an phone/tablet repair shop, or if you are handy it`s easy to take one apart, lots of guides on ebay.

Hi as a long time lurker around here i decided to go for an LG G4 after using an iphone for the last 10 years

So i purchased a new handset today and followed the guide and somehow cocked up

Its a h815eu and after i installed the bootloader it updated my firmware to v10c-EUR-XX

Now when i try to carry out the twrp of the guide i just get the message 'waiting for device'

Now before you say 'this is why idiots blah blah' this is the first android device i have ever owned/even looked at

I have cocked up somewhere and frankly need a bit of help

I am usually pretty savvy on most things of this nature so i am feeling a little sheepish having to resort to this thread

The handset is still functioning normally its just not having any of it on the root side of things

Suggestions?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivel2787:
Go into settings on your phone, general, about phone, click on software info. Next tap on build number until it says congratulations you are a developer. Next, back out of there, and look for developer options under settings/general. From here, click on that and then click on USB Debugging. If you unplug and re-plugin your phone as long as you have the proper drivers installed you should be able to do adb reboot-bootloader. From here you should be able to follow root methods elsewhere found on the forum.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gap30:
Hi yes i can do that but anything further i try to do gives me waiting for device message

I took the OF4 update. One app says my phone isn't vulnerable to the Stagefright exploit, the Zimperium app says my phone is vulnerable. So Im not really sure what is what at this point. Any one else have any foresight into this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jondroid2:
From what I've read Stagefright is an ongoing issue that wasn't completely patched with the first update. There will be a few incremental updates to completely fix the problem. So as the apps that check for the problem update, some will report back vulnerability where others won't, until the next security patch comes through.

I was already rooted and couldn't take OF1 update, so I don't know if this would work for you.

Basically, odin back to OC3 or OE2 and also odin the firmware package called "Flash Me Package" by Trailblazer before rebooting the system.

This might enable you ping-pong root the OC3. but you would still be on OF1 radio.
