[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hskom:
So I'm running PAC ROM; I have a slight issue, I want stock GApps on my phone to add some features I've been wanting. When I flash it (tk_gapps-stock-5.1.1-20150809-signed.zip) on the official Nexus 5 lolipop ROM I got an error message, I read it and it says that I need to flash is ontop of another TK GApps, unless I wipe my cashe partition. So I wiped my Davlick Cashe and Cashe. Still have me the same message. Did I read it wrong? Any tips? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
It's better to provide the error code provided by the log. When switching to another GApps package you should wipe /system partition.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
Hi I am hoping I can find some answers here .

I flashed twrp to my s tab using odin and had no problems flashing it to the device.

After flashing I tried to enter recovery mode with vol up, home and power keys, I instead get brought back into download mode with an error of "could not do normal boot".

This is a Japanese docomo tablet and Im not sure if its the bootloader that is locked. I have tried other things such as CF Autoroot, Nexus root kit etc to unlock the bootloader with no success. Ping pong doesnt work as my rom is not supported. Ive been trying for 2 days to get both my S6 and my tablet unlocked and tring to get rid of the bloatware on these devices.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Which twrp did you flash?

I suggest you download the stock rom for your model.

At least you can get into download mode and recover.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
I used the latest one from the twrp website klimtwifi. I then also tried your one in your thread but no luck.

I have been trying to get the stock rom and cant find it anywhere.

I have a docomo carrier branded device. I have a spare untouched tab here and wanted to backup the stock rom and flash it back to the one with problems.

Is there a tut I can get a link to that can show me how to do it without being rooted?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You can find the stock rom at sammobile and samsung-updates
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
Thanks for the info, managed to flash back and get into recovery.

If the bootloader is locked is there any chance of root or twrp at all?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Root yes, custom recovery no. Are you sure you are bootloader locked?

What is your exact model version?

You can use Samsung phone info from the play store.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
The model version is SC-03G

Product code: SM-T707DTSEDCM

Bootloader : SC033GOMU1ANKD

Kernel: 3.4.0-3402897

Build date : TUE NOV 25 22:29.39 KST 2014

Also says "root existence: Yes"

Dont know what the last part means. Im guessing it means I can root the phone and get rid of carrier bloat?

I also have an S6 Hoping I can root/custom recover too
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Root existence means your tablet is already rooted!

I'd double check by downloading root validator from play.

Is this a wifi only model as it's unusual for wifi models to have locked bootloaders?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
This is a LTE version tablet.

I used root validator and it says that root unavailable "su/id/echo did not execute"

any solutions?

AOC2 is an update to ANKD so should work fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tegstar83:
That worked and given me root permissions now. knox is now tripped though.

Any apps or things I can be pointed at to allow me to remove bloat.

Also I wanted to know about firmware updates.

How will I be affected by installing OTA updates? There is an update in the system which auto downloaded and I still have the notification for it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
System app remover and titanium backup for bloat.

If you already have the ota then it may still install.

If not you can install it via odin.

May be we won't update new firmware by OTA after rooted. i checked by myself. Anyway do you know when we have Lollipop for TabS T707D, because T707V (Verizon) already have 5.0.1.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
Its a CAB. Have you ever installed a CAB file before? Just sync your device to your PC. Click Explore. Click on My Windows Based-Device, open the Storage Card folder (if ya have one) and just drag the CAB from your desktop to your folder. Then go into your device, open file explorer, locate the CAB and click on it. It'll ask ya where to install. Choose Device not Storage Card(though you could try it from the SC if ya want). That's it. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Fatila:
Ok I extracted the zip into my documents, and executed it. Came up with a list of contects. Tried speaking into the phone but nothing happens, this does support voice dialling and is always listening right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
Ok, correction. It's not a CAB. I gave you the entire folder which you need anyway. Unzip it to your desktop. Drag the entire folder into your device via activesync. Rin the exe from your device. It'll load everything for you. It can't "hear" you either. All it is, is a contacts app that scrolls. :D

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDraft647:
Hello everybody !

Ok, I am use to not ask any help, and to find out by myself. But I have to admit I don't have any idea remaining to solve this problem.

Let me explain you the situation :

I explain everything with details to not waste your time when you will help me ! :)

When I first bought my Zenfone, everything worked properly. Then, I decided to flash a Custom ROM (to remove the bloatware, and to get the others optimizations). So what I did :

- I unlocked the bootloader,

- I flashed TWRP,

- I installed my custom ROM (SuperZen R15, super clean install) => at this moment, everything is working perfectly,

- I installed a custom Kernel (ProjectT, v56) by fastboot => here we are, the problem just appeared.

At this moment, the WiFi issues appear. When I boot the phone, I can turn on the WiFi (in most cases), then, WiFi just turn off. It is impossible to activate it again. In the best case, I can switch on/off the WiFi, but as soon as I download something, the WiFi just turn off immediately. Often, I just don't detect any network. In the worse case, it is impossible to activate again the WiFi, the ON/OFF button is grey.

So here is what I tried to get it back :

1) put the standard kernel with my TWRP backup => no success

2) flash another ROM (CM12, Paranoid Android, Barebone,...etc) => no success

3) flash my whole TWRP backup (system + kernel) => no success

4) flash the official Asus ROM (recovery.img, system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img) => no success

At the moment, I started thinking that maybe the WiFi just "forgot" my WPA key. So I modified the build.prop :

5) modification of the build.prop by adding the line ro.securestorage.support=false (instead of "true") => no success

6) flash the last Asus update 2.20.40... => no success.

...

I haven't any idea remaining !So I need your help ! This problem seems very standard, but I just couldn't find any solution yet !

P.S : I almost forgot. I talked about the wiFi signal, but it is exactly the same for the bluetooth signal : working on first boot, then when I use it, it just stop working and disconnect itself, and then, impossible to activate it again (grey button)

=> My last idea was to flash the radio directly by TWRP, but I didn't find any radio files for the zenfone 2...

Many thanks for your help, and thank you for reading everything !! ;)

Try setting your phone as a wifi hotspot. If other devices are able to detect your device, it is a software issue. Or else, you might have to book an appointment with the Asus service center

Didn't do anything. It's not working. I was thinking my wifi was just broken, but something creepy happened this morning. The Wi-Fi worked again (I downloaded one thing to be sure !) and then... My phone froze, and reboot... Is the devil inside my phone ??
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDraft647:
SOLVED ! If someone has the same problem, just flash the stock ROM via ADB Sideload !

Step by step :

1) You go here, and download your version of the stock ROM : http://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/

2) (If fastboot/adb drivers are installed) Go into your recovery (Advanced in TWRP)

3) Connect the phone to the PC, type WINDOWS + R , enter 'cmd'

4) Go into your firmware directory you just downloaded, and type : adb sideload 'thenameofthefirmwarefile'.zip

5) Wait (a loooong time), and here we go, reboot, and your phone work again.

I just got a Shield Pro (only due to the fact that I was able to get the Pro with the remote and stand for $244) and I'm trying to connect my NFTS 3TB external hard drive, but it won't mount. I read somewhere the Shield can't recognize a hard drive with multiple partitions so I extended the original partition and now there is only one, but it still won't mount no matter what I do.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
Sorry if this sounds partitioning but at 3tb sounds like it must be externally powered. I'm assuming its powered up and you can hear it spinning up? I would also try a different usb cable even if that cable works on the PC. Stranger things have been known to happen.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdavola:
Thanks! I'm not sure what you're saying about partitioning, but the external drive drive is externally powered and I can hear it spinning up. I'll try another cable when I get home tonight. That would be great if that was the only issue. :)

I have tried a 2TB Toshiba, a 2TB WD Passport, and a 4TB Samsung portable hard drive. All of them are 2.5" hard drives and all of them are self-powered (not plugged into an external source for power). All of them work without any trouble. They are formatted in NFTS and have only 1 partition. Maybe it's your brand of hard drive that is not working on your Shield TV.

The 1tb HD requires a external power source but it still works without any issues. I use ES File Explorer to access the HD if that helps at all. I also had no issues with any of my flash drives 8gb-128gb from various manufactures.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdavola:
Thanks. I tried both ports, but it still doesn't work for me. :( I'm still waiting for a new cable to see if that works since I don't seem to have any other USB 3.0 cables to try.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It could be the cable but I couldn't tell you for sure. If it still doesn't work after that maybe a factory reset or a reflashing of the images may be in order. Something could be corrupted cashing the issue but that scenario is a more severe remedy to the small issue.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdavola:
UPDATE: Although I tried to repair the drive on my WIn 8.1 mini-desktop, it wasn't until I connected the external drive to my AIO with Win 10 that the external drive was repaired (which took a maybe a minute) and now I can access my external drive.

Now for my bonus question (that I will create a new thread for as well). Is there anyway to access the external drive or the Pro's 500GB drive from my network? I can see it as SHIELD on my network and I can see the IP address, but I can't seem to access it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If your Shield Device is rooted, you can always give Servers Ultimate Pro (comes up as the Amazon free app of the day quite often) a try & setup a simple SMB server. You would probably need Server Pack B (this is free). I actually have this setup on my Nexus Player with Stickmount.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
Install ES file manager. Run the remote control section inside and it will run a ftp server on the sheild. You can then ftp in with filezilla or something and access the files. No root needed, but you need to enable the sever each time you want to transfer files etc :good:

Put the IP address in the address bar...in the format 192.168.1.?? And make sure you have the right port number in the port box... ES file manager screen will show you the address and port number. I'm guessing you haven't put the port number in

Thanks. I actually did do that. I guess I have to keep trying.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
This is going to sound odd, but if you are on ethernet, try using wireless to transfer files. Most FTP programs won't start a server on ethernet as they are programmed for wireless only. They think phones and if a phone is not wireless it's mobile network, and therefor don't turn on server. Worked for me on both ES and Solid Explorer wireless, but neither wired.

The only thing ive found that works on marshmellow/usb, is stickmount which mounts the usb in a folder in your internal storage(same directory as your download folder).......exploring your usb through this folder gives me read/write........but this is not something i like, as i'd prefer this to be supported natively and not have to rely on a root app (one good thing i suppose, is that stickmount no longer causes a particular deal breaker issue on marshmellow as it did on lollipop, so suppose thats something)

Ive been looking on and off, in the usual places and not so usual places, for a more ideal solution, ever since the marshmellow update, and i guess the one page thats often come up as a linked solution, is this page

http://www.droidgyan.com/fix-sd-card-write-permission-kitkat-lollipop-marshmallow/

Ive not tried, but i suspect it may work, although i dont know if this method has any negative effects, if any, security for instance.....dont know

Just thought i'd consolidate any info on the subject that i found, on a good thread title, maybe help the next person searching, or not
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe9090:
I bought a seagate 4tb portable hard drive and initially had this problem. To overcome this i first reformatted the hard drive to exfat as nvidia state that ntfs is not currently supported by default (not sure if this is still the case). Due to the read/write permission issues you can only write to the app folder on the external drive of the app that you are using. As i use es file explorer this translates to firstly going into the android folder followed by data then into com.estrongs.android.pop. This last folder is where you can store whatever files your wanting to transfer to your hard drive. However for some unknown reason unlike with my sd card the folder com.estrongs.android.pop was not automatically created and it will not allow you to create the folder yourself. To get around this i simply connected the seagate hard drive to my computer and selected disk management. Through this i was able to create the all important com.estrongs.android.pop folder. I then reconnected my hard drive to the shield and from there i could transfer files to my hard drive. Happy days
