[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] alwright1980:
Again i feel chastised but truly do appreciate your input. Ultimately my hard bricked device i nailedd it down wasn't from setting in a kernel, flashing a second mod zip before rebooting, no it was from the thing that i advise people the most vehemently about in my signature not reading re reading and reading again. I used the gn920t kermel zip instead of the n920t kernel. If that hadn't been enough i did flash the stocky mod before reboot but alone or together i am 95% sure that is what killed it.

The printing thing still has me baffled. I Reflashed kernel wiped caches, nothing I did a restore to previous backup, nothing. I did factory reset with configuration from that backup, nothing. Finally i wiped everything but internal storage where my backups are flashed my cokc firmware via odin restored only data patition and voila. It worked i went on to reimplement my stocky mod and kermel changes with a reboot in between added my supersu and everything was still, and IS still fine. Never knew what caused it.

I am generally cautious and not as foolhardy as my signature suggests, but i created it because i felt so so so so so stupid for Bricktown a device i just paid 700 dollars for because of my uncharacteristic hasty behavior.

Also you may have misquoted me (I think that I said...) "I believe xposed is only for samsung devices. " this was corrected a moment later and i offered no argument and admitted i was wrong. I only thought this because, if reamembering accurately, it was developed to by pass specific intricacies implemented by samsung in its inception. Also talk of problems with Google play dev accounts that wanam experiences I understand a primarily due, purportedly anyway, to increasing pressure from samsung. I didn't, though i probably should have guessed that it has since evolved, if indeed i am right about its origins.

I also just need to say that this is a forum where people don't ask enough qiestions and end up here desperate during something as simple as a boot loop, but I state my problem and give an idea of what might have caused it in hopes that someone might have something useful to say, and preferably the experience to grant credibility what they do say, like our op here and in UITA. I know that i was asking for support for a kernel currently unsupported. Yes bad form. I wish that there was a thread where the dev would not be expected respond and allow for user generated support, but myeh whatever. Anyway The plan was to flash to mm and flas to either arter97 or sky high and i anticipated having the same problem, which i did. At the time i didn't know that support for the note 5 had been pulled for mm until he can get a device and then maybe if at all, but looking at my first post on charging issue knowing that now it becomes clearer why it appeared that i was asking for support that was no longer available, i in essence was doing this but in my defense, (as if this entire post hasnt been totally defensive) i was reaching out for help moments before an attempt at my last shot for remedy.

I was just typing the words I am not using thirf party chargers, when I realized that I began experiencing the problems when I left it on a portable power bank, I got poor results then used my car charger and got less than normal performances from it then all subsequent chargers.

You may have hit on the cause.

I am sure that you had hit on the resulting problem that it was a damaged device. And you were right about the flashing incompatible software as it pertains to my previous blunder. I have to say thank you. I have to say it and mean it, and i admit to a mild bad taste in my mouth because I wanted to say that my questions are not nonsensical, and all i am left with is to say my so called nonsense extracted productive discussion resulting in the probable discovery of the cause. Solution...perhaps the insurance will cover this if I present it so the software mods never come up...MAYBE!!!

Thanks again, but try not being so harsh, I mean just cause I ask if this or that kernel COULD cause the issues we have discussed, doesn't mean that is nonsense nor that I nelieve it even.

Lots of people with both kernels and those with no software alt at all reported the intermittent and/or total loss of fast charge btw, which is what I use to think this was. Not anymore tho

Oh and fyi the big blunder the g920t vs n920t mixup was a Misstep in execution. I had previously dl'd the wrong zip noticed it, but didn't delete it from my phone. That isn't an excuse at all and is why I tend to caution people heavily, but friendly in their pursuits. Iguess I am trying to say with all of this that I'm really not quite the bumbling idiot foolish noobie that my previous actions my sigbature and my junior member status would suggest..
