[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachingoa:
Cannot boot into download or recovery mode

Hi, my samsung Tab2 is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. No matter which combination of buttons I press, I cant get into download or recovery. I've tried flashing with Odin, it shows successful but nothing has changed. I tried the ADB command but it says "Waiting for device". When I plug in the tab to the charger (or when I connect it to the PC) it comes on automatically with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. Is it a power button thing or is it something else ?

Thanks.

Flash the CWM recovery via Odin, and restart. now you can go to the recovery mode and install ROM from sd card.

Dont try to flash any other recovery file, working with CWM only.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that, Odin shows it is successful but when i restart, nothing seems to have changed, the same upgrade error comes back.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NornIron75:
Sim and rear camera problem, any help appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I recently had problems with my M8 not seeing the sim card, I decided to reflash the firmware and upgrade from kitkat 4.4.2 to lollipop 5.0.1 as my M8 is somehow registered to germany and i'm in the uk and wont automatic update ( according to HTC), teach me to buy on the internet!! I also flashed the ROM with mike 1986's revolution, but still the phone would not recognise my sim! Lastly i replaced the sim reader (hardware) and it recognised the sim, happy days i thought! but the wifi started to play up and i found that the rear camera did not work! After reading these forum's someone had suggested that the kernal was not compatable! i have now set the phone back to stock following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735235&highlight=md5

In following this my OS is now 4.16.401.10 it was 4.16.401.7

now the sim is not recognized, and no rear camera!

I'm now struggling big time to get this to work at all, I am new to all of this so i have been reading through the forums trying to educate myself but i have managed to dig in deeper trying to understand MD5! My head is now melted :silly: but it has now come to admitting defeat and asking for assistance!!

Any suggestion would be great!!

I've seen reports of the VK815 being rooted and would like to root mine. Is there someone who has a VK815 and has rooted it who is willing to share how they accomplished it?

I have 'adb' available and working, the developer mode enabled, and can talk to the phone. Trying to attain superuser from the 'adb shell' doesn't work because the 'su binary' is missing. 'adb reboot recovery' gives the ''dead android' and the 'power/volume -' key combination results in a normal boot.

I doubt there are drivers for linux for a g4 in Linux, and I know people used the script for that. You are doing this in download mode? I can't remember since it's been a while for me setting it up, but does the Android sdk install the generic android USB drivers in Linux?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowski:
The kernel modules handle what drivers would do in Windows.

I'm in the download mode and if I boot normally instead of into download; I can talk to the tablet with adb. I'm thinking that maybe if I comment out the serial port settings code, the script might work. I'll try that later.

There has to be something after 'modprobe usbserial' to load a specific module on the PC so it can talk to the VK815. Would the Windows ddl's give a clue?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowski:
Well, I'll be go to .... :)

Commenting the block of code that sets the serial port settings worked! I went into the download mode with the key press (power off, volume +, connect the usb cable, wait for Firmware Update screen, release volume +) and ran the script and was talking to the tablet. Looks like the next step is to load the goodies first and then try the manual commands to install root.

Whatcha think gang? I'm thinking we're almost there and how cool is that!!!

I think the linux answer to talking to the VK815 involves the BCM2079x on the tablet. Could that mean the linux box trying to load a serial driver would need to do something like 'modprobe bcm2079x'? If so, where to we find the config for it in the kernel .config?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdeister:
So far so good, but I am three days in. On my s6 I was always very low on ram, specifically when you examined cached processes and I was getting apps closing all the time. It didn't matter if I used a debloated rom or not. I still have yet to think about rebooting the phone. I don't know how much of the 'fix' is software optimizations and how much is throwing an extra GB of RAM at the prob, but I am happy. You might consider trying the note5 rom port floating around on your s6. If it is true Samsung optimizations that should help.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma24:

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdeister:
Sigma, you are certainly right that most people don't need to upgrade. However, there are other clear demonstrable changes to the Note5 that might be of interest to some S6 users beyond the pen. For instance displaymate documents quite clearly that the Note5 screen is different than the S6 in some ways that will appeal to people like me who are overly anal about screens:

http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note5_ShootOut_1.htm

Further, there are some minor software improvements like better RAM management etc. Again, this may only be of interest to a few, but it is overly trivializing to say there is no difference beyond a pen.

You cannot go wrong with the N6, especially with your admitted addiction to 'flashing'. It is made to tweak/tinker. It also has great (for a smartphone) front firing stereo sound.
