Windows 10... Hum... Did you properly install ADB Drivers? I recommend this one. Also, be sure to enable 'Unsigned driver installation'

before installing anything

You can flash into recovery this 2 zip files (RICdisable.zip and BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip). I had the same prob than you. I have find this solution and it work perfect.

Flash RICdisable.zip in first.

thanks and helping information

Hi, nicopoto88

Sorry for my english i'm not a native speaker.

I would like to thanks you because your workaroud to root my xperia d2303 lollipop works very well for me too.

When i reboot my phone supersu app make an update from google market and update to the latest release (now is supersu v2.82).

And so a notification appear asking to update su (i think binaries need to be update).

So i would like to ask to you if there is a safer way to make this update.

Thanks in advance

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorTokes:
I woke up today and my Note 3 was dead. I assumed the battery died as that is in all likelihood what happened. I plugged my phone into the charger and attempted to turn it on. It stayed on the Samsung logo for several minutes. I then booted it into recovery mode, and noticed at the bottom, E: Failed to mount /efs (invalid argument). I attempted a cache wipe and at first it said failed to mount /cache, however another attempt and it completed without error. I then tried a reboot with the same problem. Next I tried a system/data wipe and got the same problem (failed to mount efs).

So, I used a 4 part Odin flash to 5.0 Lollipop OEM. This succeeded and upon reboot the phone got as far as the AT&T logo then hung again. Once in recovery I noticed the same E: Failed to mount /efs (invalid argument). I have searched on this and many other forums attempting to resolve this issue without success. I've been at this nonstop for 12 hours now. I know of a way to use adb to create a generic EFS folder, the problem is the phone is 100% stock, including no developer options(adb), custom recovery, etc. Not even busybox.

Anyone with any info on how I can unbrick this phone would greatly appreciated. Or even how I can use Odin to install safestrap w/ root thereby giving me the ability to mount the system with TWRP and send adb commands that way. To clarify, I have access to nothing but the stock recovery and download mode without ADB active on the phone. Thanks for your time.

A simple way to bypass frp lock (google lock) on nexus 6 is to force close emergency call by adding millions of numbers and symbols then when its force closed make a report it will direct u to feedback page, under the feedback spage it will appear a link to open google chrome, here comes magic, add any gmail and sign in normally when its done try to search an apk and download it from google play store. when it done restart ur phone and its unlocked. This method works on 5.1 and 5.1.1 versions

Hi guys

Just got myself the S2. Seeing I have the Y variant. What's the difference between the normal 815 and the Y? Can I still root and use customers rims and kernels? Oh man, I hope so. Part of the reason was to get standard AOSP and use that.

Thanks guys.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jKK-:
I have an issue with the camera on my G4 I just received roughly two days ago and was wondering if anyone has had the same problem. Mine is the AT&T H810 variant, but I figured since it's most likely hardware I should post it here. I have seen people post similar problems, but with no samples of the issue so I cannot tell if I have the exact same problem or not, so I decided to start a new thread.

On to the problem: I was messing around with long exposure in almost no light and a laser pointer. After a dozen or so pictures I would go to the photos app to review the pictures I took. Upon returning to the camera app there would be an odd humming noise coming from the phone with very faint black horizontal lines all over the viewfinder. The issue immediately goes away after closing the camera app. My first guess was the ois is trying too hard, but I don't quite think that would make much sense.. I took a video the second time it happened, but I'm unsure how to share it as I cannot post links just yet and 10 posts later realized I can share it now!

https://youtu.be/5z9hNcs1cL0

I'm kicking myself for not recording in UHD, but at 1080p you can clearly hear the humming and clicking and see the horizontal lines, though they are more noticeable on the right side of this video. I should note the camera would NOT focus at this point, and changing the focus to macro distance in manual mode made the hum quieter while moving it to max distance made it louder and have a clicking noise. Both focus options gave a blurry image as well.

I suppose my question is: is this normal behavior? Does running in ultra low light just knock the ois or autofocus out of whack, or should I be looking at exchanging this phone before my return period is up?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruzkay:
I don't know if it is the same but 2 or 3 times my camera started to make a high pitched whining noise that only stopped once I closed the camera/flash (don't remember which) but I remember me thinking it had something to do with the flash 0: Couldn't reproduce it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jKK-:
Hm, I didn't try using the flash when the issue was occurring, but it definitely can happen without it. I might have to mess around with it more.

An update: I sent LG support an e-mail about this including the video, they told me if a factory reset (which I've already done a couple times) doesn't work, then I should exchange it. I'm sure that's more of an automated answer, but they did confirm that it shouldn't be happening. Of course, dealing with AT&T's restocking fee won't be very fun, but I'll have to see how the replacement works out.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
You have to pay for a restocking fee even if it's an exchange? I thought the restocking fee only applies if you're trying to return an item.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jKK-:
The people at the AT&T store I dealt with the other night were insisting on reproducing the issue, which I already mentioned was more of a rare occasion that you can't predict. At that point they basically assumed I was lying about a bad experience with the device and pushed for the restocking fee, since magically now nothing was wrong with it. Quality customer service I'd say! :eek:

Flash forward to today, I ended up speaking with a manager of a different AT&T store highlighting the touch screen issues some of our devices have and how it could be remedied by plugging in a USB cable with no wall charger. It's bittersweet to report I ended up returning altogether and opted for a different device. The G4 is a GREAT phone, but I'm at least content with the decision for my needs. I'll have to admit, once I can get off this carrier I definitely will, it was such a hassle to get all of this done.

I was a Treo 650 user until it started random reboots when it was shaken... :D after many drops, during my service in the army a year ago. 1 year of drops was enough for my 3,5 year old Treo.

Anyway I found one day on www.emarket.gr an HTC Universal (V1640) for the price of 200 euros. :p

Of course I bought it instantly but I never got to use it as a phone, because my Treo was working well and it was more suitable for me at work. :rolleyes:

After the death of my Treo, one month later, I started using Universal but I wasn't satisfied by it's applications nor by it's performance and of course I was again damned by the flaws of M$ OS, but I got after it and I started to love it. :cool:

So after a long introduction and a little bit of confension my problem with my Universal is this.

On Friday the LCD screen was damaged by me so I went to the HTC brochure in my town and the repair cost was 295 euros.

Today after flipping my screen I got a white screen (both portrait and landscape mode).

I went again to the shop and told me it's propably the co-ax cable and it will cost me 130 euros more...

Is there any place where I could buy a used or unbranded cable for less money?

Until now the phone had cost me 500 euros and it's use was fairly mild comparing it with that of Treo.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cash365:
OK :D

Took the phone from repair shop of HTC today.

The technician couldn't say what it was.

He took it apart and then reassembled it and "voila" the screen was working again fine.

Propably it was the wiring loose and I had a white screen.

I found a similar post from another guy who fixed that problem alone.

Anyway back to business again. ;)

I use an app called Nightstand Bold. I can't seem to find it on playstore anymore - maybe the publisher removed it.

But it is probably the most beautiful nightstand clock app.

I did find this link

you can download an apk from here - but I'm not really sure about the website, as in is it safe or not....

Daydream, under Display options. If apps are designed with that purpose, you will there those that can get automatically activated when you put your phone on the charger or stand.

If you search for Daydream on Google play, you should be able to find apps that fulfill this.

After you install, go under display settings to the screensaver and select ClockPlus. You can change settings like brightness if you tap the gear icon. And if you select MORE in the upper right part of the main screensaver screen, you can select when to launch the screensaver.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azibux1:
Hi all,

As above I have a very strange issue that, oddly, I have only noticed happening since I recently got a new SIM card, although I'm not sure they are related.

Anyway, my phone seems to restart itself, often multiple times, and seems to take forever to finally reach the home screen (stuck on samsung logo for a while)... It seems related to when I try to do something related to bluetooth or wifi.

For example I noticed it 3 times in 2 days when stopping at motorway service stations and disconnecting from my car bluetooth kit. It also seems to happen when disconnecting from a wifi network, but not always.

Very strange and I have had this phone since release day with no issues until now.

Hope someone can help or offer some advice, otherwise I'll be forced to try a factory reset

Thanks in advance! :)

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikk.b:
Good morning :)

I`ve got a really big problem and don`t know if I`m able to solve it or if I have to send my phone to HTC..

I rooted the m9 and got S-Off through the sunshine app. Then I wanted to flash a custom splash-screen via cmd but it didn`t work.. I tried something else and that turned out to be really stupid:

I flashed the zip-file from here android-hilfe.de/thema/how-to-splash-screen-aendern.433411 which normaly was created for the m7 only with my m9 through TWRP and did a reboot..now my phone went OFF and I couldn`t start it again...till today. That means that I`m unable to start anything. Off course there is no connection between phone and computer, too. The phone is still OFF and I have tried many different things to restart it but without success :(

As I said before, the phone was rooted and S-Off. Everything else is still on stock. I think it `s the unbranded version from Taiwan. The CID was HTC__621 but I`ve changed it to 11111111.

If there is no way to fix this, where should I send the phone? Directly to HTC or back to the online-store where I bought it a few weeks ago?

Hope to hear from you soon..

Thx in advance and best regards!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I'd have to look at the partition maps to know exactly what you did, but those recovery flashable zips for the M7 used the dd command to write the splash partition directly. Problem is that it's in a different location on the M9. It sounds like you overwrote something critical doing this.

So yes, your phone is likely dead. Only HTC or a repair shop can fix this.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLegion:
I agree with this, never flash ZIPS not meant for the M9 at all.....now you should take your phone to the vendor, but then they will take phone to HTC anyways and delay more time to replace/fix..........

My recommendation is to take phone underwater for 30 so it can get impregnated with water in all the inside and if available for your vender or HTC directly, use the Uh-Oh warranty available for the device....i live in mexico and i know of many people have used this methos to replace the phone whenever they have f****** the phone by flashing..... heres the link for more info:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
That's not a good idea. The Uh-Oh protection only exists in the US. He said it's a taiwanese model. So how should he be able to use the Uh-Oh protection under these circumstances?

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLegion:
Yes, dont you worry didnt read that "taiwanese" part of the post, and yes, the Uh-Oh protection is only available in America I guess, also available in my country Mexico and my Carrier Telcel, hope evreyone may enjoy this opportunity as well.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I'm sure OP has disposed of his phone by now, but I finally looked at the maps to see what happened here, and hoo boy was this a goof. The M7 recovery script writes the splash to p13. Guess what p13 is on the M9?

aboot

:crying:

So yeah, you're going to hardbrick your phone trying this. Going to add a big nasty warning to my M7 splash thread.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dottat:
Any chance you could change your updater script to do by partition name instead of a static block number? It's not common, but HTC has in fact added partitions over the course of OTA updates that can renumber the existing ones.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
With over 100 splash files in that thread, it would be a lot of work. People should know not to flash things written for other phones, not that it seems to stop them from trying. There are and have been warnings in the OP about doing it.

It's not an issue for the M9 since splashes have to be changed in fastboot unless you use scotty's mod to remove the write-protect on the splash partition (something I don't recommend for anyone other than advanced users).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3ll0gs:
i paid the regular price of £49.99 for my Fire 7 - which means I should have Special Offers adverts appearing on my tablet. However when locked or in sleep mode there are no special offer adverts popping up on my screen and normal photos show for lock screen. I brought my tablet from Argos UK and not direct from Amazon.

I've checked my device on Amazon and my Fire 7 shows as subscribed for special offers and if i want to remove the advert feature I have to pay Amazon, which is to be expected. If I check the [Special Offers] setting in [Amazon Application Settings] on my Fire 7, my tablet shows the following:

"You can subscribe to Special Offers at any time by visiting Manage your Content & Devices"

It appears that my Fire 7 is not syncing up with Amazon with regards to adverts and that I may just have a non-advert Fire 7 for £49.99 and saved myself £10 to remove it.

Has anyone else brought a Fire 7 from a retailer outside of the Amazon Network for the standard price and has no Special Offers enabled?
