Hello friend

Today I am gonna tell u how to get otg support on yuphoria

But you have to check and tell me whether it is showing pendrive in otg or not.

Things u need

YU Yuphoria of course.

Root

Twrp I will tell u how to flash twrp if not done.

USB otg cable

And pendrive

So let's start

First go into settings->advanced settings->check advanced reboot.

Now press the power button select reboot->recovery

Now ur phone will boot into recovery go to install zip from sdcard .

While in sdcard select the location click on storage and you will see three options

1.Internal

2.external

3.usb otg.

Thats it guys

Please check and tell me if connecting otg shows pendrive or not.

Anyone tested this ??

Read my thread EXTREME BATTERY BACKUP FOR YUPHORIA [GUIDE]
[YU Yuphoria] hirakmehta007:
There's no advance reboot option
[YU Yuphoria] Divyansh747:
go into developer options then tick advance reboot :cowboy:
[YU Yuphoria] hirakmehta007:
I searched about this on internet and found that

yuphoria now comes with android 5.1 AOSP

not CyanogenMod

so there's no advance reboot in developer options for recovery simply turn off your device and press volume down+ power button

In TWRP recovery it shows the usbotg option but not able use my pen drive
[YU Yuphoria] AKKKII:
Doesn't worked for me on YUPHORIA

Buddy I have tried twrp 2.8.6 and it only shows that twrp has the OTG option but it doesn't recognise it when I connect my pendrive. So if you can Please suggest a working method. ....
[YU Yuphoria] aswinlak:

BUT CANNOT ACESS FILES
[YU Yuphoria] TheDemon12:

Don't know how it happened, but just looked at the back of my Tytn, and it is missing that little plastic/rubber cap that goes over the Car Angenna Connector (that's what they call it in the manual). Can anyone suggest how I could get/buy a new/used one ? I haven't seen any posts of this type of thing happening to anyone else..not sure why? I now realize that it must be a removeable cap. I am surprised that nobody else, seems to lose theirs. Anyways, any suggestions are appreciated. It certainly shouldn't cost a fortune for such a puny thing!..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bapski:
see if you can find it here..

good luck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 3waygeek:
If all else fails, try the end cap from a Bic Stic ballpoint pen -- the little plastic bit plugging the non-writing end of the pen's barrel. Should be pretty close to the right size.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stoker1:
Thank you for your suggestions

Will try your link,, and try your Bic suggestions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
One thing you could also do is use a piece of black electrical tape to cover the antenna hole underneath the battery door. When you put the battery door back on, it will look just as it did before as the tape will be underneath it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stoker1:
I think I found an almost perfect substitute

I went to the Home Depot and bought a package of Self-Adhesive Foam and Vinyl Pads. Different sizes, but the one that I bought had black ones, different sizes. I just had to trim ,make a smaller circle out of any of the black ones, to slightly ,but barely overcover the hole, then I placed back the back cover on top of it. You should make sure that the pad isn't too thick. Mine were fine. I suppose, instead of even taking off the back, you could approach it by keeping the back on, cutting a round piece that would fit snuggly into the hole. Too boot, the sticky part, should more or less adhere to the exposed bits that are in the hole. I prefered the other way, because it adhered to the actual back of the phone,near the hole a lot better. Hopefully I helped those people find a better way, than using bic pens blunt end. I tried that , but not nearly as good as my method.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] supermiss:
I've been all over this forum for the past 2 days trying to find a solid MIUI v5 ROM for my phone- SM-G900T S5 on Metro Pcs, using T-mobile towers (boot animation says T-mobile also). If there's a link I've overlooked, please let me know! Yes, I am rooted.

I have previously flashed v6 MIUI for my device, but keep having problems with WSM tools and the never-ending bootloop issue, and would like to switch to v5, as I've read throughout this forum that the WSM/MiTools issue wasn't happening on v5. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I am reading conflicting information throughout posts, and would like to check in with the more advanced users to steer in the right direction.

I came across a list of ROMs from Mega Unlimited site, and I am unable to post an outside link as I am new here, but I'm having trouble understanding which versions are okay to flash for my device.

I'm relatively new to flashing ROMs but I do a lot of reading through this site and others to understand what I'm doing before trying to just pile crap into/on to my phone. I don't like to post questions unless I keep getting confusing information, so please no snarky remarks, I promise I will be out of the way soon :o

Model: SM-G900T

Current: MIUI v6

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedebyes:
Hi, I've wanted to change my t310 Rom, so I've installed TWRP Recovery via Odin and all works.

Then the disaster:

-I've accidentally wiped /system

-Tried to flash one ROM (unofficial CM 12.1) > Unable to mount /system and /data

-Ok I've tried to flash GApps, Factory Reset, Wipe all the rest

- I cannot enter in Recovery, I've a recovery bootloop

- I've tried to reflash recovery with odin but cannot enter in it (odin says ok)

-I can only enter in download mode

Now I'm downloading XEF-T310XXUBNE9-20140618114502.zip (stock firmware) to reflash with Odin, (4 hours), what can I also do??

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
I'm a bit (more than a bit) rusty on the ODIN tool, and was wondering if there was some kind of complete tutorial for it floating around. In particular, I'm wondering if I could use it to replace ONLY the radio/baseband for a device.

I have the AT&T firmware zip (containing files starting with "AP", "BL", "CP", and "CSC") and I'm wondering if I could use that to flash the AT&T modem on a n920c device. (And to use a proper n920c firmware set to get back to the n920c modem if flashing the AT&T one doesn't work out.)

(Why? I live in the US and have AT&T as a carrier. The AT&T provided modem most likely contains radio tweaks to optimize usage of AT&T towers.)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameRedNeck:
I do not know of a guide but you flash the modem in the CP slot. However if the Note 5 is anything like the Note 4 you cannot flash an AT&T modem on the C version. I believe it is because of the partition table being laid out differently. I have also read that you cannot even change the partition table anymore but I do not know about that for sure as I am limited in knowledge in that area.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
It sounds like you've messed with something similar on the note4? I wonder if I could swap modems by pulling the .img file out of the odin tarball and using 'dd'.

(Honestly, I'm more comfortable with 'dd' anyway... if it can be used.)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameRedNeck:
Indeed. I used to unpack C version firmwares to flash onto my H version so I could have LTE on it.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neva Eva Forget 1984:
Have you swapped the modem out for at&t or still stock??
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
no.. never got around to it (and at this point, I don't feel the need.)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
In Note 3 the trick is to do a battery pull then go straight to download mode and flash modem in CP slot. It won't "stick" otherwise. If this is also true in Note 5, how to emulate a battery pull? :eek:
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Octa_core:
I guess you could do the force reset option using the power + volume down buttons. I'm not sure
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
Didn't work that way in Note 3.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
Decided to tinker with my modem via flashfire... (with isn't as restrictive as ODIN in terms of what it'll flash and what it won't.)

Keep in mind that I have a N920I device and an AT&T SIM inserted... My kernel is currently a permissive custom compiled kernel targeted for the N920I. The /system partition (what I call "firmware" and too many on XDA incorrectly refer to as "ROM") is a stock N920T firmware that's been deodex'd and some of the TMobile specific stuff stripped out. If the RIL is part of /system, that means I'm using a tmobile RIL. If the RIL is in the boot partition, I'm using a N920I RIL.

Flashing the N920I modem works.

Flashing the N920A modem results in it not seeing the baseband at all. (settings->status->baseband version: unknown)

Flashing the N920T modem results in it not seeing the baseband at all. (same as above.)

Flashing back to a N920I modem restores functionality.

I don't have a "N920C" modem available to me right now, but it might be more likely to work (as the "I" and "C" kernel DTB's are apparently interchangeable.)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
"C" modem doesn't work on the "I" device either. (same result as flashing any of the other non-"I" modems on this phone.)

So, while it might be possible to change modems, I don't know how and it's not as simple as just flashing the modem.bin.

Of course, I can switch between different "I" modems with no problem.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
Didn't samsung lock us out of flashing different model modem since s4?

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
No idea. I skipped the SGS 4, 5 and 6 (and the Notes 3 and 4.) I was rusty enough with Samsung and ODIN when I got this Note 5 that I actually had to ask for a quick ODIN refresher. ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
Didn't know that.

Well, as far as I remember sgs4 was launched with ability to reflash modems from other providers (unlocking wind/mobilicity, and t-mobile bands. At the time most people actually bought att version, which did not have locked bootloader to use it on tmobile, and was also Canadian favourite pastime). Sometimes during that first year, there started to be reports about new bootloader that would start accepting only signed modems from the phone's original region. Not certain if this affected north American phone at the time, but was going hand in hand as the Europe started getting region lock, and Knox started rearing it's ugly head (also affected only certain firmwares and was very limited in scope).

With sgs5 it was all confirmed.

The rest is history, and since, I haven't heard of a case where someone successfully flashed other model modem, as we could with previous generations.

For the past few years, we Canadians get same phone as tmobile (thank God it's no longer att due to bootloader), actually identical (in number of cases there are markings of tmobile inside our phones), except for that modem that is either tmobile or Canadian, which is why our firmwares and kernels are usually built together.

Note that couple of times I tried on this phone, because twrp allows modem backup, I tried to restore my own modem backup for testing, and would lose reception and would have to reflash with Odin to get it back. Maybe my backup was corrupted, so if there is differing experience to this, apologies. I just didn't dare try and mess with it anymore.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
Hmm.. unknown to many people, the radio (modem) in many phones actually boots before the boot (kernel) partition. (I can't remember WHY that is, but I do remember it...)

My impression was that the bootloader was blocking ODIN from flashing an improper modem, which was why I was using flashfire. However, it would make sense that the bootloader would also block the radio/modem from starting up if there was a mismatch. I'd guess, in this case, it's more of a regulatory and/or safety issue (to prevent a malicious or corrupted modem.bin from controlling the radio/modem)

That doesn't mean that Samsung isn't ALSO doing it to block people like me...

So, the next question becomes: can the bootloader be changed to allow a different model modem to boot? Changing the bootloader would likely require re-partitioning the device, though... And if you put a bootloader in that has blocks (such as AT&T or Verizon), then you might end up unable to even boot the phone.

Why does all of this even matter to me? Well, it's really a very minor concern: When I had the 'A' model, I'd get an IPv6 address on the note 5 while on LTE. When I had the "C" model, I'd also get an IPv6 address on LTE. However, for some reason I don't get an IPv6 address on the 'I' model while on AT&T LTE. (Yes, the kernel is supporting it, and yes the proper APN is configured and has IPv6 enabled... in fact, it's identical to what I had on the 'C' device.)

How do you get into recovery mode with the Z2 Tablet. Tried every thing but I can only get into Bootloader or Fastboot not recovery mode.

Thanks
