[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, remusator...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like your Nexus 7 is hardbricked. Both APX mode and the lack of the battery charging animation are classic hallmarks of a bootloader that may have have become corrupted, erased or accidentally overwritten.

APX mode is the state the N7 defaults to in the absence of a working bootloader, and with the expectation that somebody with the necessary software tools and knowledge will be able to nvFlash a replacement bootloader.

Unfortunately, there is no universal nvFlash tool available for the Nexus 7. The only way of accessing nvFlash on the Nexus 7 is, if you had, at some previous point, created your own unique Nexus 7 device dependant 'wheelie' blobs via the

Flatline procedure.

So, without a working bootloader, the Nexus 7 cannot boot, nor can it be reflashed via fastboot commands (since it's the bootloader that 'accepts' those commands).

The only option (other than via nvFlash with previously generated Flatline 'wheelie' blobs, and which I suspect you don't have) is to have the motherboard replaced.

I have read accounts here on XDA of people sourcing Nexus 7 replacement motherboards from various online sources, and performing the replacement themselves. I don't know how easy or difficult it is, or how much it might cost (probably not much), but with a dead bootloader, it's likely the only way of resurrecting your Nexus 7.

Good luck...

Rgrds,

Ged.

Addendum: I assume you've tried all of these (that might be applicable)...

I'm sorry for not being sure where to post this, but I read it on forum rules if not sure to post on General section.

So I have this lovely Z1 Compact " Sadly up-to-date'd " *Yes, I love updates and I have Technology OCD*. Anyways, so I wanted to root this phone (just like all my ol'phones), but the problem here is that this is the first time I deal with Sony's firmwares and I am quite confused to be honest.

:rolleyes:

Enough with the chit-chating and I will try to make it quick.

1) I just want my Z1C rooted safely without losing my DRM keys or at least a way to back them up! Please remember that my firmware "as stated in title" is 14.5.A.2.270. So if you could help me back up my DRMs or root without unlocking Bootloader, it would be great.

2) Another thing, I am not quite sure about the right way to ROOT my phone with this firmware, like tools and steps to go through. (If you can give me a guide and links for that as well, I would be more than thankful. I am sorry I don't wanna break my phone)

~Thankies from Cereal_

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
Drm keys will be untouched since this is for locked bootloader. You will only lose drm keys when you unlock bootloader.

[T-Mobile LG G4] mad1111:
So I got tired of seeing my Leather back on my phone peel more and more, day by day. It was just way too noticeable on the Brown leather (more like Orange-ish). So I decided to peel the entire top layer off and expose the Natural Leather underneath. In my opinion, it looks 100X better than what it did (but then again I am a BIG fan of the natural leather look, especially when it really starts to get used and worn, so...).

Let me know what you all think...
[T-Mobile LG G4] JedixJarf:
Looks pretty slick... going to pull mine off now.
[T-Mobile LG G4] hdcp:
Mine is starting to peel as well. How did you get it to come off cleanly? When I go to pull it off, only little bits come up.
[T-Mobile LG G4] mad1111:
I just used acetone and a rag. Go in one direction only tho...when you "scrub" back and forth it's actually harder to remove and can scuff up the leather underneath. I waited a few hours and then rubbed a very thin layer of lotion into the leather to help "seal" and re-moisturize it a bit. (It's best to use an actual leather sealer/moisturizer but I don't have any, so...)

Good luck, and post up pictures when you're done.
[T-Mobile LG G4] mrcrusha829:
Wanted to thank you for plowing the way. Did the same as the peeling was driving me crazy.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricomtl:
I rooted (CF auto root) my S6 Edge 64gb (Bell G925W8) the first day I got it and I was able to apply the deep-sleep fix I found on the forums and my phone has been working like a charm since.

A few days ago, I noticed suddently a battery drain issue and it seems like my phone no longer goes into deep sleep. The lowest it goes into is 400mhz.

I noticed that as soon as I disable bluetooth, deep sleep resumes and battery is fine.

I've been searching all over online forums and can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. I know it's not related to the fact that I'm rooted as deep sleep works when bluetooth is disabled. I tried flashing stock recovery image (TWRP), re-flashed the deepsleep fix.zip, unrooted, rooted again... and I still get the same issue.

I'm at the point that I'm considering a factory reset/wipe... Before I do, would anyone here have suggestions, tips?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
I've had the same issue. Reseted my S6 edge. Phone was fine for a week and now the problem started again. I have a feeling it could be due to new update, 5.1.1. My phone used to work fine before that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricomtl:
Well, I did a factory reset, unrooted then fetched the 5.0.2 OTA update and my phone is now fine. No more deep sleep issues.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricomtl:
Darn. Problem is back after a week as well on stock firmware (unrooted). I thought the issue was gone! I have to disable bluetooth in order for my phone to go into deep sleep, otherwise the battery drains so quickly.

Model: SM-G925W8 (Bell)

G925W8VLU2AOG2 is my baseband

Build: LRX22G.G925W8VLU2AOG2

What else could I try? Any tips?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubamike:
I'm in the same boat. No deep sleep with Bluetooth on. I'll post back if I find a fix.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sterist:
one Europe version of the TAB pro 12.2 received an official 5.1.1 update a week ago or so... I find it strange they got 5.1.1 because Samsung never did any 5.0 versions for any of the 12.2 tab pro regions

currently, we don't have any region over 5.0.2 for the note pro but I think this may be an early indicator that Samsung hasn't retired updates for our device
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
It's not all that strange. Samsung is known to skip versions.

The NotePro skipped 4.4.4, 5.0 and 5.0.1, and went straight from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2.

The Note 4 skipped 5.0 and went straight from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1, and is now going straight to 5.1.1, skipping 5.0.2 and 5.1.

The Note 3 skipped 4.4 and went straight from 4.3 to 4.4.2, then skipped 4.4.4 and went straight to 5.0.

The Note 2 went from 4.1.2 to 4.3 to 4.4.2, skipping 4.2, 4.4 and 4.4.1.

The S4 went from 4.3 to 4.4.2 to 5.0.1, skipping 4.4 and 5.0.

It's nothing new, they've been doing it for years. :)

The NotePro will likely see at least one more major update, as it has only had one so far. It shipped with 4.4.2 and recently recieved 5.0.2. Google's contracts are for 2 major updates. That could be 5.1.1, or 6.0 if we're very lucky. I don't have an ETA for that, unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sterist:
while it may be nothing new, it is not all that common. I have been keeping a close watch on sammobile for almost 2 years and typically a major version will not be skipped even if it means they have to push an update of a 5.0 despite Samsung having pushed 5.1 updates to some of their other devices many months prior. same went for kitkat when it was new

I'm not familiar with the contracts you mention, are there any articles on that?

I do remember an Open Handset Alliance that was a semi failure of promises made by several US cell carriers (not google?) to provide updates for like 18 months but that wouldn't even apply to Wi-Fi devices
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
It is actually quite common. So common, in fact, that every device has skipped at least one major firmware update. Samsung develops each CSC update locally, and they have neither the time nor the manpower to develop every update for every device.

If you cast a quick glance at any CSC's firmware page on Sammobile, you'll see it straight away. (I've grabbed DBT because DBT and BTU are the two largest international CSC's, and usually the first to recieve the update. (after XEO). (except in situations where the firmware needs to be tested and altered, as was the case with 5.0 and its infinite list of bugs, glitches and errors.)

I have no idea what US carriers do or don't, since they bear no relevance on us EU citizens. (And quite frankly their actions in regards to customer privacy terrify me.) But I think this is what you are referring to: http://androinica.com/2011/05/android-updates-for-18-months/

That pledge was indeed the start of the 18 months system, but back then it was a promise. When manufacturers failed to follow up, Google added it to their contracts. (It never made the news because those contracts are confidential.)

It's fairly common knowledge, most people on XDA know about it. Has been for years. 18 months or two major updates.

Actual direct 'This is the contract' articles? No. They're subject to confidentiality agreements. They are, however, mentioned often. This is the same contract that lists what Google apps and options manufacturers are required to include in their firmware if they wish to release it.

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/list-andro...-get-android-6-0-marshmallow-os-update-643594 Under the Sony paragraph.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/09...on-selling-devices-for-longer-than-18-months/

(Any more you'll have to Google, I'm on Roaming and this connection is not what one would refer to as 'fast.' Finding those two alone took the better part of 10 minutes. Not to mention I've only got a maximum of 500MB. Bloody prehistoric service providers...)

Mind you, the period has been extended for Nexus Devices following the Stagefright drama (And I use that term loosely, because the only drama was in the media, nothing actually happened.) from 18 months to 2 years.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sterist:
note and tab pro are beyond 18 months here :(

released in the U.S. sometime January or February 2014, so that would have been July or August this year

I think Europe's release was delayed a couple months though

Hello everyone,

there are several threads regarding this topic but non gives the right answer (most with answers are only about CHANGING the boot animation). What I want on my Z1: Disable that Animation. The more booting messages I get the better it is. But I do not want to install some fake kernel message animation. Default Android logo would be still better than the current animation.

So is there a way to disable the boot animation to get raw booting information?

Thanks!

Best,

Fresh
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
I didnt hear there are such things as u want. But I understand u somehow, maybe u like it to be more raw rather then too skin-deep. For me i hate to fake android version on device info or fake lollipop skin on kitkat (back few months i mean, we use real lollipop now). Some days later people will fake marshmallow = ="" so meaningless for me. But for booting i never care about it for real so it doesnt matter to me :D

For your current situation maybe u can flash the android logo to cover the animation? OK it is still skin deep sh1t ...

[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] ashutoshtaikar:
As there are enormous bugs in the lolipop ota update for lenovo a6000 and a6000 plus I decided to revert back to Android KitKat.

Note: (For advanced users only) Go ahead if you have a little knowledge about flashing a stock rom.

1. Here is the link for the tutorial to revert back to KitKat for lenovo a6000 which also works for lenovo a6000 plus with some extra efforts

(although there is QFIL, flashing through the lenovo downloader is recommended as well as easy)

Mod edit: Link removed

Flashing requires a UPS backup or a laptop which won't shutdown in the middle as this process requires 6-8 mins

Done for Lenovo a6000.

IMP Note:

i. Do not unplug the usb cable if after plugging in the phone in download mode the adb interface driver is not installed by windows and flashing is started. Its normal.

ii. In lenovo downloader it will seem like the flashing is stuck after some seconds but it is not so the flashing is going on so DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB.

iii. In lenovo downloader in the step tab only the firehose is seen but it doesn't mean that flashing is stuck. Let the process finish without disturbing the USB cable. It will require 6 to 8 minutes or 15 minutes max.

Now futher steps for Lenovo a6000 plus:

This flashing will make your lenovo a6000 plus into lenovo a6000 and won't display ram and rom properly in device as well as your computer when connected via USB.

So for lenovo a6000 plus after flashing the lenovo a6000 stock rom:

2. you need to boot into cwm by fastboot https://youtu.be/giBK8LsL-Ko

3. and recover the cwm backup from the cwm recovery http://techolaty.net/lenovo-a6000-plus-stock-rom-cwm-backup/

4. Reboot your device from the same custom recovery after the restore is complete.

5. First boot will take up to 5-6 mins after that do a factory reset from the settings menu or from the stock recovery. If you don't perform a factory reset you will see your internal storage as 4.33gb only.

Video guide

All firmware updates work for Lenovo A6000 as we have flashed the original stock rom of lenovo A6000.

But as there is no stock rom available on the internet for lenovo A6000 plus, The minor firmware updates wont work for Lenovo A6000 plus it gives a status 7 error even after flashing the stock recovery, however the lollipop update gives an error status 14 but works fine.
