[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] thegipper:
Hey guys, my completely stock note 5 is stuck in a bootloop. Tried doing a hard reset but it doesn't work, just keeps bootlooping.

This happened randomly while I was just using the phone, I wasn't flashing anything or messing with anything. When I try to get into the recovery menu, it flashes a blue screen with the android guy for a split second, then reboots again. I cannot get past the samsung logo.

I want to try flashing the stock firmware using Odin but I don't know which firmware to use. How do I know if I need OJ3, OJ2 etc if I can't turn the phone on?

I've used ODIN in the past but I'll use this post to hopefully flash the stock firmware to save this phone.

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] thegipper:
Ok I downloaded the firmware (newest one, figured it didn't matter) and tried flashing with Odin.

My phone is in download mode and the error on my phone reads "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2"

Odin log reads " <OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/037> Added!!

<ID:0/037> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..

<ID:0/037> File analysis..

<ID:0/037> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/037> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

What am I doing wrong? I have the samsung drivers.exe installed, phone appears to connect to Odin just fine, but I'm getting this error.

Also, if I try turning on usb debugging via the recovery menu (select #5 press home button) it just reboots the phone back into the bootloop, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Need help fellas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] thegipper:
I tried everything (that I know of). Tried flashing the newest stock firmware, new pit file and re-partition. I cannot get past the Verizon logo at this point, I think the phone has a hardware issue.

Hi guys, one question. I bought an unlocked Verizon NOTE5...... Can I update it to last firmware with Odin without Lost My unlocked situation? Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielzyy:
Hey guys, I'm about to take a lil vacation in Berlin next week and I would like to replace my old Nexus 4 with a new Galaxy S6.

There is a great deal from Samsung Germany till Oct 3 which I can purchase Galaxy S6 for only 400 EUR without taxes (cause I'm not a Germany citizen)

I will probably purchase from a Saturn store.

Is there anything I need to know? Is the phone locked or something like that?

I heard that I need to make a 5 minutes phone call inside Europe to unlock the phone or something like that?

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] garyd9:
Folks, this is XDA-DEVELOPERS.

This isn't a "firmware store." If the OP is slowly developing this and learning in the process, let him do so and stop acting like xda is your personal shopping cart for downloading firmware.

If you aren't happy with it, don't read the thread. He's not breaking any rules, and seems to me that he's more closely following the spirit of XDA than some of the people I've seen over the years who've tried to turn XDA into their personal "donation factory."

Although, I do have a question for the OP (that's mostly off topic): I see that you are basing on a n920i firmware. I thought that the n920c was native to your country. I'm curious if my assumption about the device variants is wrong, or if you are using an imported device, or if you just decided to use the 'i' firmware base for another reason. (I realize this is probably a strange question, but details make me curious.) :)

Take care

Gary
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
Thanks gary for support. In pakistan note 5 variant "n920cd" is launched which is dual sim. Not interested in that so purchased from local market.

Well all "i" based roms are compatible with "c" variants..
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] bluheart:
Long live the spirit of XDA and ROMMING.

Some people like stock with minimum mods, some love huge mods.

This is for people like me who want have stock odexed ROM with minimum but stable tweaks ;) thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] garyd9:
Personally, if I'm not running something completely recompiled, I tend to stay somewhat close to stock with minor tweaks. 99% of the time, those tweaks are things I do myself to fix nagging issues, etc.

For my OWN use, I don't always agree with someone else's idea of "debloating" (hey, I actually use a couple of those samsung apps, but never the social network stuff), and I find it comical when someone "debloats" a stock firmware only to re-bloat it with other stuff instead.

Based on my own opinions, I realize that everyone has a different one... and that the best way for a person to express that is by creating their own idea of "right." In the case of android firmware, that involves some development skills, and I REALLY wish more people would take the time and effort to learn those skills instead of nagging other people to do it for them.

That's why I'm here... on XDA. I try to help people to learn the skills, but very rarely will I do things for them anymore.

(And I get really annoyed when someone who's only leeching from others complains about anyone who is trying to develop and learn. I've even had Moderators poke me for that, but as long as I keep it below 512 infractions a month, I'm usually okay.)
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
I am not a expert user. I am beginner right now trying to learn and experiment sometimes it works and sometime don't. Senior members also dont have time to teach us or they dont wants to God knows better but there are lot of tutorials online by which we beginners can learn... thanks

Congrats! Out of curiousity, what kernel are you using? I was under the impression that the stock kernel didn't work with a rooted device.

Take care

Gary
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
Thanks gary... [emoji5] always wait for ur precious comment...

Well i am using arter recocery and kernel...
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
Yes stock kernel will not work...
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] garyd9:
You're kind of new at putting out firmware builds, so I hope you don't mind if I offer some feedback (without having actually loaded it - I'm still stock on my phone.)

Kernel: It's bad form to include a custom kernel without proper credit and permission from the kernel dev. In particular, arter97 has asked that "ROM" devs _not_ use his kernel. (His comments on the matter are kind of buried in post #3 of his kernel thread.)

Root: This is a personal thing of mine, and I'm sure others disagree with me: I'm not fond of kernels or "ROM's" that force root on me. There are times I need to "unroot" my phone for certain things. Actually, it's not so bad with firmware (as I can easily remove it), but more of an annoyance with kernels where the scripts on the boot partition keep putting it back. So, I guess you can ignore this item. ;)

I _think_ the firmware your basing from is from Singapore? (That's the only OH6 build I'm aware of for the 920I.) It's sometimes useful (for samsung based firmware) when a firmware is still close to stock to explicitly mention which "CSC" is the default and which languages are built in. Some builds don't have support for some languages, and it can be shocking to load a firmware and find out that you can't read the text on the screen (and can't change the language to something you understand.) For example, I'm a Dumb American. I only read/write a single language (poorly), and while I know that some form of English is included in every Samsung build, that might not be the case for someone else.

Finally, never get discouraged by any comments anyone might have about your work. This is especially important when you're first learning. EVERYONE has to learn and makes mistakes while learning.

Take care

Gary
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
Yes... u r mostly right.. about kernel i will try to take permission from developer. And on OP will mention features. On build, i will also update soon.

Thanks for suggestions and i love to hear positive and constructive criticism as mentioned in OP. :)

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
No its not working.. still working to fix.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] LiL_Assassin:
Hey mate, trying your rom. Had a few issues but that's probably because I restored data from stock. I fixed them myself. But t what's the difference between odexed and deodexed? If that's the right spelling. It's just ram management isn't it?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Lambetts:
Hi Asif

Great work man. Thank you from all of us for your hard work and time to even be trying to do what your doing. We support you man! Thank you!

So I don't sound silly haha, this is stock rom with custom kernel yeah? Or do we just get a kernel ourselves? Maybe that's a way to not tread on toes by saying no kernel included but, you have to pick a custom kernel (try a few to see what works in your builds) and maybe recommend one or two? I dunno, just a thought I had. I'm no developer haha.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
deodexed is without odex files, less files... dont know much about ram management...
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Androidwizzard:
You should know about ram management on N5 -> LINK
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] asif.malick:
this is stock deodexed rom, like everyother rom it uses custom kernel because chain-fire has stopped working on root SuperSU, so we have one option left to use ARTER97 kernel which gives root access which is needed for custom rom, second thing, i have not said once that i am developer... i am cooking rom for my self and sharing it for you people if you wants to use this is your choice i am not forcing anyone like xda is open for all...

on my contribution, i am giving my time and effort in making this rom, is not that enough???? i am giving credit to everyone who is helping me... and please if you got some suggestions to mod rom, then come forward and help...

thanks for comment...

[Huawei Watch] Leo90604:
I am looking to get Huawei watch. The app that I would use the most is alarm and timer functionality since I work at home and would like to see timer countdowns for my breaks and lunches :).

Is it possible with the native app timer to have multiple timers set up and choose the one I want accordingly? like 15 mins and 30 mins one so I don't have to set it everytime.

Also with alarms can I have multiple ones?

When an alarm or timer is up does it beep or vibrate?

If I start a countdown timer does it show it in ambient mode in numerical format not watch face?

Would appreciate if you can post pics. Thanks.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
I see no one has replied yet. I think I would suggest you look at Android Wear apps and see if something will meet your needs. I find the Alarm function with the watch to be pretty limiting. I downloaded an Alarm and Timer application, but really haven't used it yet. I don't think you can have multiple timers set up on the native app, and I don't think even the one I downloaded has that capability. I think you can have multiple alarms, but there in no functional speaker on the watch (or any Android Wear watch), as I understand it, Android Wear does not yet support a speaker. Need an Apple watch for that..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] omniphil:
Ok, so this was a huge problem on the Mediapad X1. Where huawei's memory manager kills apps in the background. Why do we need task killers today Huawei? Please stop :)

On the Mediapad X1 there were a bunch of apps like Google Hangouts that would get killed even though you tell it not to get killed via "Protected Apps", having your texting app not run in the background is bad as you can imagine. So now I have an X2 and it seems like this Protected App thing actually works better, however I noticed today that the bluetooth services were getting killed in the background as it would not pair with my car until I turned on the screen. Because these are built in services you can't "Protect" them.

Just posting this here so hopefully Huawei can see it and fix it :)

But seriously, they should just use the memory manager built into android and not try to monkey around with, we don't need task killers any more.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
So your texting app is working fine without any android-genius tweaks required? What app are you using? I NEED that!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] omniphil:
I am on an X2 now and yes, it appears to be working so far (Using SimplyText), I've only had the phone for 2 days however so I am still testing, but this was the main reason I almost didn't buy and X2 because of apps shutting down all the time on my X1 in the background.

What tweaks are normally required?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
I have had Textra recommended to me as a work-around for MMS texting glitches. I am used to that now and will try it but if I have problems I will try your app. By tweaks I just meant that so much of what most of you do is not what a "regular" cell phone user would know. I had no idea there were memory manager things I might need to address. (I haven't done that before). That is why I am here. To learn about new things and to be prepared as much as possible for when (at this point it is "if") my 702L gets here!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You have to go into startup manager and check each app, protected apps and trust each application, add it to startup, and in permission manager you have to trust each application. I agree though, I wish this didn't exist as there's no need for it. If you're rooted you can take it out but you'll lose the Do Not Disturb mode as it is baked into it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] omniphil:
I was rooted on the X1 and getting rid of the Power Manager still made stuff die in the background, it was pretty irritating. So far with the X2 it mostly works. As far as I can tell only bluetooth dies (Which I can't add to any of those apps as its a system app)

The X2 is such a better phone than the X1. I hope Huawei keeps on top of bug fixes. With a generic android memory manager this phone would be truly awesome.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
Thanks for the help, aj... just something else I have learned. I learn something new every day! Now if the shipper would only prove it has actually been shipped! Lol!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I got my X2 today from fashioncoconuts on eBay and everything is good. It even came unlocked. I'm liking these eBay sellers.

Edit: after I did a factory reset it said the bootloader was locked. Now when I use Google Maps it tells me I must update my Google Play Services. When I do my Google Account Disappears and my Play Store doesn't open. I'm beginning to dislike Huawei's implementation of their apps. Blocking certain apps from being installed is totally lame on Huawei's part. Now the waiting game begins for my unlock code. I'm giving them three days. If not both phones are going on eBay and I'm done with Huawei. Rant over.
