[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Hi,

i've just bought a pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F when it was first launched. I didn't buy it to any mobile carrier, i got it through a Samsung point of sale in Spain called El Corte Inglés. Since then i've just been updating the firmware through OTA but today an update with baseband G920FXXU2COH2 got installed which i think it's from a french version. Could someone tell me if this is wrong? Also i would like to know if would it be safe to flash the G920FXXU2BOGB (Spain phe region) from Sammobile? I'm wondering if this could lead to issues because of being a downgrade.

I just want the stock firmware without mobile carrier modification which came with the mobile device.

Thanks a lot in advanced.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Finally i downloaded G920FXXU2BOGB_G920FPHE2BOGB_G920FXXU2BOGF_HOME.tar and flashed it through Odin but don't know why it still keeps annoying me about the G920FXXU2COH2 update. Which i think belongs to a French mobile carrier, it also change some icons to the ones shown in the next image http://i57.tinypic.com/2ms4kfq.png
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloxed:
I think you got the update to the latest 5.1.1, which has some features from the newer TW version (Note 5 and Edge Plus), the icons being one of them. The only thing that you should care about is that you don't have the carrier's boot animation or carrier's bloatware. If you don't have those then just enjoy the update!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Thank u very much Cloxed.

By the way, i hate the new TW icons it doesn't correspond with the rest of the icons.

Hi all,

thanks a lot!

Nobody has any suggestion//? :( please!

I went to a shop and they couldnt tell me what the problem is.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
You could try flashing a custom recovery via adb from a pc, I would suggest looking around at old p6 Q&A threads I did have an old thread with detailed instructions and links for all the old downloads, then try flashing another rom via the twrp recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandervanzijl:
most of the time when the phone wakes up and the screen stays dim and grey, as if there is a semitransparent picture in front of the screen. I can see the clock and I can unlock it, but everything is dimmed.

If I turn of the screen one or two times, it usually wakes op again without this grey dim sheet and I can use the phone in full brightness.

I turned off auto brightness, but this did not solve the problem. The brightness slider also turns upp the brightness, but it is still about half as dim as it should be.

can anyone help me in finding out why this is happening?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aami.aami:
hi.; title says all. i forgot the lock pattern, and then i got to the google log in screen. i kept logging in but there was no internet so it would not move forward.

then i pressed home and vol down to hard reset. it took me to the twrp recovery/.

there i went to wipe and reset menu and reset, everything. even system, dalvik, data.

now it is in lg boot loop. i cant do anything.

i have tried again to reset but only data and dalvik and still boot loop.

IMPORTANT NOTE, MY PHONE IS D800, it has cloudy rom before this bootloop and working fine. it showed D802 in about phone but removing cover shows D800.

what to do? i dont want to go to stock because i have all my images and videos in this also contacts. pls help

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amin44:
i dont know . see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP1LVOKgwQM
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmayhemreturnsx:
You can also use adb sideload to flash the ROM. Install kouch universal adb drivers and download minimal adb and fastboot both can be downloaded from a Google search. Then on your phone go to twrp advanced and adb sideload. Then put the ROM.zip folder in the minimal adb and fastboot folder. Then hold shift right click and press run command line here. Type "adb devices" if it finds your device then use this command "adb sideload *ROMNAME.ZIP*. Replace * and ROM name with the proper name of your zip file.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heathenasparagus:
The old tablet is supposed to self disable once the new one is activated.

Do we know how nvidia is going about this in order to prevent it?

I assume going full CM would prevent this, but is there a way to prevent that without fully replacing the rom ?

Flashin Instructions for Build#3

Flashing Instructions for Build#3

Build#3 incorporates the the largest amount of changes than any PAC build till now. Be it the updated drivers and latest CM sources, or the CM 12 Kernel tree with awesom3 and Stable PLL2 OC (Supports upto 878Mhz, but I recommend 767MHz max). Therefore needing dedicated flashing instructions as I've given below.

Step 1 - Prepping Your SD-Card

You'll need TWO SD-EXT partitions along with the FAT32/NTFS partition on your SD-Card. Since we are doing a proper OC, We need to unmount any R/W partitions on our NAND or we will face a NAND burn. That is why we need a SD-DATA and a SD-CACHE partition on our SD Card. Partition layout should be like this:

Step 2 - Flashing Build#3

Since this build uses Brand-New sources (@anonymous-user, can't thank you enough man) and kernel trees, it is incompatible with previous data. So go ahead and do a FULL WIPE.

Flash the TWRP 2.8.0.0 awesom3 recovery from here.

Download and place the PAC-pico-KTU84Q-UNOFFICIAL-BUILD_3.zip on your SD Card(Uploading now, Links will be up in a few hours)

Flash the ZIP and reboot

First boot takes 15 minutes after which you can setup and use PAC to your Heart's Content!!!

Send me reviews, bug reports and feature requests; but only in the appropriate tabs. Any such reports on the main thread will be entertained, but adhering to above said rules helps keep the thread clean.

There is no browser in this ROM?

Edit: If possible, please provide a flashable zip.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Yeah, actually the ROM was very big to start work so I replaced or removed most of the preinstalled bloatware that people don't use like AOSP keyboard, AOSP Browser and unfortunately, Gallery. I'll either do it myself or ask abhi_qwerty to do it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Done. Also threw in Gallery, Apollo and Email. Available in post #2[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Hmm..... nice rom had no issues at all, battery is holding up very nicely BUT a newer build Is in order rather than using 1 from March this year (kirmani`s cm11 build no.7 ) good base to start with but maybe compile from scratch see how you go, I like the bare bones rom but update it. ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Thanks for the appreciation. We agree that cm11 build 7 is old but its beyond the capacity of our crappy internet access to sync 12 gigs of sources. If you can give us a link to a compressed version of a latest source then we can try building from source.[emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2]
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] anonymous-user:
Well I`m syncing sources so lets see what happens......IF all goes well and I manage to compile a useable ROM maybe you could use it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Cool. But ensure that you use the following :

1. [MENTION=4869275]thewisenerd[/MENTION]'s device and vendor trees ( I'm a fan of ION)

2. [MENTION=5158920]kirmaniarslan[/MENTION]'s kernel, or ours if [MENTION=5218889]abhi_qwerty[/MENTION] decides to upload our uber toolchain one.

Lastly we really appreciate your helping us out. Credits will be provided in every ROM that we port using yours are base.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] anonymous-user:
I`m pretty much using HTC Legacy sources (kirmaniarslan) for all which is ION enabled anyway, had managed to complete a build late last night with 1 change to BoardConfig.mk (plus patches) but not had chance to test it yet.

p.s. Once all ok I`ll test with the kernel update you provided with PAC-ROM for compatibility........makes easier just to add your kernel and modules
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Test it and then tell it how does it go...

EDIT : Aren't HTCLegacy sources a bit old ???

EDIT 2 : Our kernel is a zimage only instead of the regular write_raw_image variety so you'll have to unpack the stick kernel and replace the zimage in it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] anonymous-user:
from March this year for CM11
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jime1:
I get my apps from google play (link from google play, download apk with the help of "http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/" )
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
So there's no problem with the app itself. Send me some answers :

1. Did you do a clean flash before upgrading from build 2 to build 3 ??

2. Do you OC the device ???

3. Do you use ART ???

AFAIK, you should wipe your device and then install the dictionary. If it still crashes, the ROM sucks. If it doesn't, you had probably installed some conflicting applications.

Sorry guys, I messed up my Pico pretty bad and now TWRP and Philz refuse to boot and I have had to fall back to CWM and AOSPA till I can sort it out. So for now, PAC ROM is indefinitely put on hold.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
I've decided to switch over the kernel in PAC ROM to [MENTION=4649424]cute_prince[/MENTION]'s ION kernel in an effort to keep PAC alive. I'm on the hunt for features that are useless/not frequently used. PAC console is ofc going along with PAC papers. Please let me know about others that you can let go of. I'll attempt to create an AROMA installer for people who don't want to lose these features if I can get the AROMA 3.0 prebuilt zip to complete a test run successfully.

Getmegapps

I have attached the GETMEGAPPS script below. I havent tested till now but am releasing it as a beta edition. To use it, rename it to GETMEGAPPS, copy to /system/xbin and set permissions as 644 using Terminal command

su
chmod 644 /system/xbin/GETMEGAPPS

.

After that, type

GETMEGAPPS

and follow the on screen instructions.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
[MENTION=5367414]jime1[/MENTION], [MENTION=6210786]Goutham_SRIRAM[/MENTION], anyone interested in a fresh CM 11 nightly build ???

P.S. If yes, I'll also throw in a OnePlus One CM 11S zip in there too. I ported it quite easily, just needed [MENTION=6105718]FaserF[/MENTION]'s apps package and some libs from here and there.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] FaserF:
I think I still have the App Package if you want.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
I downloaded the V3.0-Stable from the CM11S Apps thread, but it said it had been abandoned, did you make an updated KK package later on?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Guys, I wanna know what customisation options do you want in PAC ROM. I have thought of two kernels - One with s2w and the other without it. Then we can do a few different launchers, some apps to be installed and a few things you all recommend.

P.S. Please don't behave like assholes and just thank me for this post. Actually REPLY to this post so that I know people are still genuinely interested in PAC ROM.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jime1:
whatever you do man, make the battery back up :good:

PS: right now my pico is in such a situation,:rolleyes: I'm forced to buy a new phone
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
I can't do much about battery life. But I managed to find a solution to the GApps problem. The bootloops are caused due to some derp in the kernel, and the way out is easy. Just follow the steps given in the OP post by flashing the ROM and GApps package together and then reboot. If you flash the GApps after the first boot, you're gonna end up in a ****ing bootloop.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
So no one's interested in the Pico now, huh ?? So maybe I'll just close this thread, dump the upcoming CyanogenMod 11S release and go to hell ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Gnhtc:
Can't say that man still there are some people interested in pac rom including me
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Thanks Man!!! Here's a treat.

Really happy to see someone interested, it was almost heart-breaking to see the thread go cold all of a sudden.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Since I know that atleast one person on the planet gives a damn, I am trying to do something a bit more than just porting. I have attempted to add F2FS into the TWRP 2.8.0.0 awesom3 recovery by [MENTION=4869275]thewisenerd[/MENTION] to give better performance on the ROM. I've attached a screeny at the bottom and thrown in the image too. [MENTION=5218889]abhi_qwerty[/MENTION], brother here's the trial result.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
That was fast...!!! try to change data & cache partition to f2fs, reboot to recovery, advanced wipe, wipe cache & data and see the log whether it is formatting those partitions with mkfs.f2fs
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Gnhtc:
Twrp 2.8.0 with f2fs support awsome bro please keep doing your best work for our pico and thanks for the treat i really liked it
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
I'll try to, try on yours too.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Spoiler alert : wiping system didn't work to the extent that nothing got deleted. Backups don't work for SD ext so figuring out how to dd it. Then I'll report for data and cache

Actually I am knee deep in AAC-REDUX an auto compiler for Android devices. It's destined to be able to compile any custom ROM for any supported device. It's too much of work, though now only copy paste kind of work needs to be done. But I think I'll do the cm release tomorrow. Brace yourself.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jmb995:
Hey there :), I'm glad u're still up, developing the PAC ROM, sorry for not answering before, I had some projects to do and I had no time to see the updates. The rom is working very nice, but if u're improving it, I want it!!!! :) keep doing this excellent rom for us.

I've upgrade my windows to windows 10 and since I did that I can't/no able to use fastboot, so I've been using the recovery that I was using for http://xdaforums.com/htc-explorer/orig-development/dev-cyanogenmod-12-11-19-2012-alpha1-t2945587, the TWRP 2.8.5.0 Touch Recovery, and I've had no problem or whatsoever, and it has F2FS support, don't know if this helps on anything :p, just trying to help too :), I'm eager for the new release :D.

Will be waiting for the it :D

EDIT:

Forgot to mention that everytime I go to recovery and then I reboot it says:" Install SuperSU, your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now? This will root your device." doesn't matter if I clock on Do not Install or if I swipe to Install, it doesn't do anything
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
I could never get TWRP 2.8.5.0 to flash on my Pico, dunno why. And about that SuperSU thing, if you look closely at the changelog for TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery, [MENTION=5158920]kirmaniarslan[/MENTION] clearly says that he's dumped SuperSU out to reduce the overall size of the recovery. For my ROM (Upcoming CM 11 build), you won't need that option as I will already have it rooted with SuperSU.

Just one thing, will you please try and format /data and /cache using F2FS ??? Just go to Recovery, and then Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select Cache>Repair or change file system>Change FS>F2FS and repeat for /data . Then use the normal key combination to take screenshots after you complete formatting using f2fs.

Thanks for the support though ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Hey guys, as a sort of explanation of my absence from the forums, I've written a little something over at my blog. Have a look at it over here
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Guys, I wanna continue developing for the pico, but it's kind of tough to be doing experimental flashing on a device I use for my day to day usage. So I'm thinking of buying a new phone that also fits in my limited budget. I've set my eyes on the first generation Android One device the Micromax Canvas A1 and the YU Yunique. Both sell at nearly 100 dollars and have nearly the same specs with the exception of 4G on the Yunique, which I really don't need. I'm a sucker for YUNIQUE as the company has also made the popular Yureka devices which I love. But then [MENTION=4869275]thewisenerd[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5857472]Agaphetos[/MENTION] have been spotted at the Android One forums and I love TeamCody too. If I'm able to buy a phone soon, maybe I'll be able to do something awesome for the pico. I need everyone's advice on this one.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jmb995:
Here are the screenshots :), i don't have a partition for cache, even if create one, the recovery doesn't recognize it, it only recognizes a data and system partition, so the screenshots that are here are from the data partition
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MSF Jarvis:
Thanks for the info, BTW which ROM are you using???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jmb995:
Hey there, I get that it must be hard doing experimental stuff on ur daily device so if u have the budge to buy a new phone so u can still keep doing experimental flashing in our pico, I would say go for it. :), just don't forget about us after :b
