[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
I think I'm bricked. My shield is stuck in a simple bootloop and should be considered a softbrick. I can't seem to get into fastboot. Forget adb, that's not responding, but I'm still getting the android boot logo. I've tried so many ways. Holding the button, mashing the bettenbetter, plugging at the brick, power at the console, just about everything. Anyone figure out how to get into fastboot with hardware? If so, please let me know or I'll be throwing this out. It just won't seem to respond to fastboot. Such a shame.

EDIT: Android figured it out somehow and just booted, but I'd still like to know how to get into fastboot for when I'm not so lucky next time. Or any other way to get into recovery.

EDIT 2: Thought I posted this in troubleshooting. My mobile data was lagging somethinf fearce. Sorry.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
It can be tricky mate. The way I did it was to unplug the device and then put the power cable back it. As soon as you plug the power cable back in hold the power button down until the fastboot menu appears. It took me a few tries. Of course if you have adb working the easiest way is "adb reboot bootloader"
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
I have done it once before, but it didn't work the way that their confusing instructions said. I'll give that a shot though. When android just flat out won't boot enough to access ADB, it can be problematic.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
It certainly doesn't help that there isn't a physical button on the Sheild, so your not absolutely sure your pressing in the right place after re-inserting the power cable.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
In my experience the whole button is sensitive, bit that's still a pain. I have no problems booting my phone to recovery or fastboot, but that's just nuts. Oh well. Hopefully teh learned something as I'm sure their techs are complaining too. It is a consumer device, so I guess I can't be too mad, but still, they expect us to reflash before an RMA when needed sometimes, and that's not fair to ask with thes device lol.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mow4cash:
I have the same issue here. I was able to get in fastboot hardware wise a bunch of times before. Now I think the device is done. I've tried every combination. What's weird is I did get a flicker of the bootloader continuing once. What could have changed that the bootloader is not responding anymore? How did you get lucky, let it sit there loading for a day? I've tried to see if fastboot commands can reboot the bootloader when I plug it in timing it correctly. So frustrating.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitor29:
Yesterday from many many trying times I did it only once and don't wanna go cross again and don't ask me how I don't know how and still don't know how. I did everything by "book/instructions" finally give up and just randomly (panicly :D ) pressing / holding finger on it, power on / off...and then somehow bootloader screen appear. That should be fix by Nvidia

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

I hope some developers out there will create some magic solution how enter easily in bootloader mode, like using micro sd ports some modded scripts or usb ports where in plugged in mode console entering bootloader mode or recovery etc.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mow4cash:
Glad I'm not the only one having issues. I've been trying everything with no luck. I'll give it a few more tries and then It's going back. Following Nvidia's instructions is BS. There is obviously an issue going on here that needs to be fixed.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
It will definately go into fastboot, it's just a matter of timing. It's really tight. In the end I stopped following their directions and just tried a bunch of random stuff. I tried so much I don't know what worked, but doing what they said wasn't working for me.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitor29:
Same here - finally haotic random pressing / unplugging and at the end done only once
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Im also in the same boat

Just tried to flash stock 2.1 and Full android 2.1 and now the shield wont boot into anything

Im trying the hardware bootloader method but thats not working so far.........ive just unplugged everything, and giving it a while before i keep trying.........i suspect i might have to try rma......that'll be fun...........(im implying, that it wont:p)
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysy31:
Same here, mine is stuck on on screen and stating production fused , and couple of options like recovery kernel forced recovery, none works fallowed nvidia instructions , tried downloading SDKS And followed commands nothing working , as well tried holding power button , and unplugging and nothing works, I will try what you guys did and see maybe I get lucky somehow

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4473400:
Hi :) as always, I was trying ROMs for best daily usage. But one day, after installing NexSense (Sense 6 porting), something happened and after that and restoring CM backups (CM Caf version) I saw that accelerometer is no longer working with any rom (tried 4.4.4 + 5.1.1) and (something more strange) camera modes: Panorama and Photosphere are no longer working (o.o how could be?).

I attached screenshots about this problem.

Anyone has info about these problems?

Thank you in advance :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SliverSeven:
I had my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 phone rooted on 4.4.2. I couldn't get the Over the air to move up to 5.0.

So I found and followed the instructions here

I Used Oden to load G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE on to the phone. I then just let the phone take the Over the air updates. But so now I got to 4.4.4 and it says that the "phone is up to date"

As described on AT&T's website. http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424848&cv=820, my phone's "About Device" matches this:

Android version: 4.4.4 (Kit Kat) for the 8/12/2015 update

Baseband version: G900AUCU2AOA2

Kernel version: 3.4.0-3116194 dpi@SWHD4319#1

Build Number: KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA2

I know that AT&T just released this (8/12/2015). has other people received this problem? any solutions to upgrading this to 5.0?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SliverSeven:
Well I just bite the bullet. I followed the instructiosn here: www.theandroidsoul.com/att-galaxy-s5-lollipop-update-odin-firmware-80652/ and had it update the phone to Lollipop itself. I now have baseband Version G900AUCU3BOC4
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemphiz:
Hello, newbie here. Sorry If I'm in the wrong place, just needed some advice. I recently rooted my moto g via king root then replaced it with super su via wolfdroid method with terminal emulator. I've read it was a bad choice to use kingroot. Well anyhow I wanted to be able to install a custom recovery but have read it's not possible unless I unlock the bootloader as kingroot bypasses that procedure. My question is, is it possible to install a custom recovery on my device with a locked bootloader? Maybe via flashify or twrp manager? If not. What's the best way to fully unroot without doing any damage? Thank you in advance (p.s. I used kingroot as my laptop charger is broke)

Thanks
[Networking] Roke22:
Thats its only an idea.

You remember the years when you connect to internet calling with a modem to the server that give you the internet.

Now you have a cellphone and other cellphone connect to the computer by usb.

Its someone made a program that when you call to the cellphone connect to the computer can respond and give you connectio to internet you can have internet everywhere and free. Because many companys give you calls free to limited numbers.

Sorry for my english but i think people can understand the idea. Do the cellphones like modems (Client/Server) for connect to internet using the internet connection in your house.

If anyone have an idea please write it :)

Made it with PRFCreator pure stock, latest Dualrecovery from NUTs and latest SuperSu. LINK will be up as soon as it will upload to mega.

I have to admit, my bad that I didn't check if everything is working fine. Seems that there is a problem with root. I will try to look at the cause
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ThreeMMM:
If you have used PRFCreator 1.0 this is a known issue. Use PRFCreator 0.8 or 0.9 instead and you should be fine. (Had the same issue with my Customized DE Rom)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Yes, red about that in your thread but it's not the cause then because I used version 0.8. Only thing I can think about is Recovery version. Thanks for advice anyhow. I will try again.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manosths:
Are you rooted? or maybe are you familiar with the process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery and installing custom or official roms?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orabargil:
Im not sure if im rooted, how can i be sure?

about the other things im not familiar with them so much.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manosths:
It looks like something went wrong with your update and your system partition messed up. The ssolution I would suggest you is to

1) Unlock your bootloader

2) Flash custom recovery (twrp or cwm)

3) Push a new rom (official or custom) to your phone's storage using custom recovery

4) Install new rom using custom recovery

This will probably void your warranty so if the phone still has a warranty and you dont feel confident doing any of these, it would be a better idea to bring your phone to an official service.

Now if your warranty is expired and you would prefer giving your money for a new phone instead of service, then you have nothing to lose and try the steps I suggest you.

There are plenty of guides in this forum for each of the steps I mentioned. Remember, if you dont feel confident doing any of these, try doing them only if you have nothing to lose because there is a chance that the phone is bricked (your phone seems to be soft bricked currently).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoBrikz:
Recently rooted and currently running cm-12.1-20150913-Nightly-kltespr on a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone that is on Boost. Ever since flashing Cyanogenmod I DO NOT have any LTE signal. If I change "Preferred Network Type" to LTE (recommended) I do not get any data/internet signal at all. Everything works fine EXCEPT LTE and Multimedia messages. Plain MMS works fine but when there is multimedia attached the message "No APN settings on this device" stays on my screen and will not go away unless I delete the message with the multimedia in it and reboot the device. Also although I am on Boost, the rom shows me as Sprint on the top left of my screen.

I have been researching for the past few days and see this is a common problem, at first I thought I had the wrong baseband version and flashed G900PVPU1BOA6 thinking that would fix it because that was the baseband I had prior to flashing Cyanogenmod, after flashing Cyanogenmod I had baseband version G900PVPU30BG1. That was not the issue as everything seems to work the same as it did with the previous baseband version.

I did the remove sim car, restore to default APN settings and that didnt work.

I also downloaded Root Tweaker from the Play store and updated Cyanogenmod APN settings and that didnt work either.

I tried to flash back to stock so that I can update my PRL, get LTE and try the terminal emulator method BUT I am unable to flash back to a stock rom. I dont understand why. Maybe the downloads I am trying are no good, not sure. BUT I know there has got to be an easier way, so if anybody can help me out I would really appreciate it. I'm pretty sure its all with the APN settings. I also feel like I maybe took a step back by flashing my old baseband version. Any help from somebody that can point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Surely somebody has the S5 running on Cyanogenmod with LTE working.

So, I saw that there are a lot of ROMs available for s4 right now. I wanna know, which one in your opinion gives the most amount of juice? Whether it is a Touchwiz based ROM or an AOSP based rom or a Cyanogen based rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adnanschat:
Stock ROMs are best for best battery. In my opinion you can flash MBP v1 ROM in Android development section with OD4 bootloader and OA1 modem (assuming you are in India) using latest TWRP recovery. If you want to explore more you can do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneWolfSK:
Maybe CM + Greenify app is better than stock, idk
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
A dark themed rom. Since the S4 han an super amoled screen, having it display darker colors reduces energy consumption.

The apps you are using also affect battery life.

For instance, the most popular keyboards out there (Swiftkey, Fleksy, Swype, etc) keep the CPU ramped up while using the keyboard. I tested this.

Using lightweight apps can also give you better battery life. A good lightweight keyboard is Multiling.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimaro:
IDK if stock is better though. It is full of bloatware, tens of apps running in the background, hundreds of megs more. Too bad that we don't have a side by side comparison test (i.e. VOIP, screen time, video, music, browsing a specific website and using well known apps like fb messenger)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
Use Blacked Out! or Dark Material theme.

Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
You could use a custom launcher, like Nova, and change the card color to black. Then delete Trebuchet with Titanium Backup.

As for the rom, either download a dark theme or flash Reusurrection Remix which comes with its own dark theme.

And use Alucard's kernel to underclock and undervolt the cpu and gpu. Maybe even turn 2 cores off completely. This should give you some energy saving.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimaro:
Thanks for the ideas. guys. I'll start with a custom launcher. After this, maybe I'll try the dark material if I still feel like I need it. It should be a good start. I'm still yet surprised that Trebuchet does not have the option to turn the app drawer card to dark..

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Wouldn't underclocking the CPU/GPU pull down on the device's performance? I'm interested in a healthy kernel/rom. Now I'm using Arte97's kernel and "Stable" CM 12.1.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exppanda:
In my opinion cm 12.1 is the best rom for battery life on the i9506.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
You said you are looking for battery. Battery life is opposite of performance. Through roms alone you won't get any major difference, I tried. Same with the performance.

I tired running with only 1 core active, underclocked to 1.2 GHz and the GPU underclocked. And, honestly, I didn't see any major increase in battery life like I expected. With that setup I expected my battery to drain like 1% in 8 hours when idling. That wasn't the case. It drained pretty much like it did with a default setup.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avaritia:
any rom will do (TW or CM). try to reduce screen brightness and use black theme will help. Switch to 2G while on wifi (or even airplane mode) will help too. try to limit background process as low as possible (you can see it on battery usage history which apps drains the most) :)
