[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] audscott:
I'm kind of at my wits end, which may not be saying much

I've had my note 5 for 4 or 5 weeks, rooted and tried every custom ROM. I got curious this morning when I found I was on OH6 baseband, and wanted to update to OI5 before flashing to loco's OI5 ROM. I downloaded the files from the resource thread and flashed both the modem/baseband and bootloader with Odin 3.10.6. Phone booted back into android, checked new baseband and all was well. Placed new ROM on my phone and went into TWRP. Well, tried to, but it was stuck, sorry I don't remember the verbage, but something along the lines of unenforced kernel, but it stopped right there.

Went back to Odin, flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1, same thing. Did it again, same results. Odin again with baseband and bootloader. Same thing.

It gets worse.

Decided, OK, I'll fix you, so I'd start fresh. I went to sammobile and download OI5, the newest firmware. Takes over an hour to DL from that site, unless you want to pay for the faster service. Anyway, finished downloading, flashed with Odin, phone started to boot, then gets stuck in a bootloop righ after T-Mobile logo. Let it do this for 30-45 minutes with no luck, flashed Odin again, same results. I had the older firmware on hand, so I flashed OH6, but I get a failed result. Thought maybe bad file so I tried OGE firmware, getting the bad flash message with this one too. Re-downloaded OH6 from sammobile, but got same fail flash results. Tried different USB port on my computer, different USB cords (3), tried a different computer with same results for each file, including bootloop and failed flashes.

Wew!!

Any suggestions at this point? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Referenced firmware:

N920TUVU1AOGE_N920TTMB1AOGE_N920TUVU1AOGE_HOME.tar.md5

N920TUVU1BOH6_N920TTMB1BOH6_N920TUVU1BOH6_HOME.tar.md5

N920TUVU2COI5_N920TTMB2COI5_N920TUVU2COI5_HOME.tar.md5

edit: I played around some more after searching on the note 5 bootloop subject. Found a site dedicated to s6, which was close enough for the time being. I found if I hold the power and volume down it will cycle power down, but not completely power off. So what I did was cycle off and immediately hold home, power and volume up, with the thinking I would either get into TWRP or samsung power menu, so I could clear cache and devlac. Got into TWRP (which I couldn't before ?!?#?) and wiped, installed forever loco.

Looks I'm good to go, but I suppose forever patience is key here.

You can close this up.

Sounds like Mr toads wild ride... glad you are back up and running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] audscott:
I was scratching real hard for a while. Still, didn't find how to turn a bootloop note 5 completely off other than getting into either android or custom recovery.

Plus, I fully expected my files to be gone, but they weren't!! Meaning none of the Odin firmware took, even though on the OI5 the little android told me he was erasing "everything".

This won't deter me from continuing my exploits, but I might start writing some things down. LOL

Hi all,

Is anyone out there who knows an solution for the bluetooth problem with the parrot Rhythm 'n Blue carkit? When it connects it keeps on synchronising and doesn't stop.

I'm using NEW WM6 Pro Business V7 by laurentius26 :) with radio 1.18 because I didn't like the 1.15 radio. Now it works very stable with better UMTS signal. This is in my opinion the best WM6 so far.

I had these problems also with WM5.

The carkit works fine, by the way, but it's irritating. :mad:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] breckbit:
Try to use this tool from Jetware: www.jetwaremobile.com/

Its´s a kind of a bluetooth audio gateaway patch where you can set up the sync data or limit it for some handsfree devices which support dor example 25 numbers...

I think it should work.

Google don't like wireless charging anymore
[Nexus 6P General] Exel:
From the reddit AMA:

“We added Qi wireless charging starting with N4 because plugging in USB micro B was such a hassle! (Which way is up!?) With this year’s Nexii, we support USB Type-C which has a reversible connector so there’s no more guessing. AND it charges incredibly swiftly: 1% to 100% in 97 mins on the 6P for example (the first ~45 mins of charging is especially fast). Meanwhile, wireless charging adds z (thickness). So, ease of plugging in + fast charging + optimizing for thinness made us double down on Type-C instead of wireless!”
[Nexus 6P General] tokenbest:
hope the real reviews on performance, multitasking, day to day usage and camera starts coming in. the anticipation is killing me! (most importantly, whether it overheats and stuff haha)
[Nexus 6P General] feihu989:
According to google, Type C is the real killer of wireless charging.
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
That's not a proper review, its the same hands on stuff everywhere else has posted.
[Nexus 6P General] warplane95:
you have too choice:

bigger batterie and aluminium

or

thicker telephone/less batterie, plastic and wireless charger

i'm choosing the first choice.
[Nexus 6P General] maconsultant:
Exactly what i was thinking..

[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
The person did say it was a preview right above the link, you were warned.. Unless you didn't read.
[Nexus 6P General] DrunkFuX666:
Did anyone else notice in this preview, there is a closeup picture of the back of the 6P, which seems like there is a visible scratch and a few dark smudges close to the Fingerprint sensor... I sure hope it's my imagination and this thing is more resistant to scratches...
[Nexus 6P General] dazed1:
Why there is not a single Nexus 6p video on youtube like with other phones? WHATS GOING ON? i thought this phone was ready for order at launch? like 10 days passed already?
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
To me, having a Tylt wireless charger is almost as good as having my old Galaxy with ZeroLemon 7500 mAh battery. My phone has been dead in the morning, sat on my desk at work all day while researching, YouTubeing, WiFi tethering etc and leaves work daily at 100%.

In all honesty I'm hoping that the 6P is significantly better than the N6 (which is awesome) and someone creates a wireless charging pad that plugs into this USB C crap so I don't have to get more cables.

P.S. USB C is not a replacement for wireless charging and giving it to us without USB 3.+ is a slap in the face regardless of how unnecessary it may be. Should have just kept the regular port.
[Nexus 6P General] maconsultant:
Ok Mr. or Mrs. XDA.. It does say preview above the link, yeah i did see/saw (read) that, Ok. I also see official review in the title. But ok, whatever you say it's a preview..

[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I can't tell if he's saying they can post more info (doubtful) or if it's a thinly veiled threat :p
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
It's aluminum... Not tungsten, of course it's going to scratch. Much easier than a plastic phone
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Think of it this way now.... your phone is dead in the morning so you throw it on the charger while you eat breakfast and you are good for the day. Or worst case you throw it on the charger again at lunch for 10-15 minutes. You arent confined to using it on the wireless charger (that must be awkward?)
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
Not awkward at all. In fact I can use the phone while it's charging, eating breakfast and working and every time I have to move I just pick it up and go vs having to fiddle with the plug. Not for nothing I have quick charging in the car so it definitely helps, but when you work 10-12 hour shifts it's just so convenient and requires no thought to charge wirelessly.

I wrote that while charging wirelessly BTW :D
[Nexus 6P General] RED ZMAN:
Fixed!
[Nexus 6P General] nexus6R3plicant:
The*Nexus 6P*is a very nicely designed aluminum phone. ...... built in an auto bright sun mode where it jumps to 700*nits.*

This was in a article on android central but I don't know how true..... It says it's like the note 4 and 5 how they are much brighter in direct sunlight
[Nexus 6P General] toyanucci:
The guy who broke the NDA and has since removed the YouTube video (or made it private) actually periscoped the unboxing before he did it on YouTube.

Here is a link to the periscope video. As others have said, it doesn't reveal much more than we already know, but it is a USA unboxing and shows exactly what comes in the boxes we'll receive. For example, I assumed the charger we'd get was the one the Google store sells that sold out, but it's actually just a charger without cable attached and we use the included type c to type c cable. It also shows how short the type c to a cable is which let's me know I'll need to order a longer one. Wish they'd sell the included charger in the store as it would be cheaper than the one that sold out and I'd be able to use a longer cable with it as well.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
Nope, it has to be Morgan Freeman.
[Nexus 6P General] bsg411:
Video only partially plays for me and the sound is out.... It cuts of after he opens the box.
[Nexus 6P General] toyanucci:
It was doing the same for me but I tried an app from the play store called Scopedown which allowed me to download the periscope video in it's entirety. Sound chips out early but you get to see the unboxing of both phones and contents etc.
[Nexus 6P General] bsg411:
Thanks... I got it to download and I watched it but the sound never recovered.
[Nexus 6P General] matteventu:

[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
no ear buds?
[Nexus 6P General] k.houan:
Doesn't look like it, one google rep said they would be included. I contacted them again and found out they are not!
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:
They are never included so why is this a surprise? My Korean G3 has some but I never used then beyond seeing their quality. I use my Bose ones normally because I enjoy the noise canceling. I wouldn't want cheap headphones to come with my quality phone its a waste on money. Only Samsung, Apple and sometimes LG include them and its only because the 2 OEMs want to be like apple in that respect.

Yeah, I have been told by some that we all look alike...not that I liked hearing it...it's kind of fun, actually.

[Nexus 6P General] Aria.A97:
Embergo will be up soon

I saw this countdown on reddit ;)

which says how much time left until reviews pop up over internet :D

Embergo Countdown

Note : I DO NOT take credit of countdown, someone here made it!
[Nexus 6P General] BerryAl:
Exactly. Apple/Samsung have to appeal to those kinds of people who actually use the headphones that come with their phone, not that there's anything wrong with it, but I don't think that's the Nexus people.
[Nexus 6P General] Poke_N_PDA:
That is nothing. They ad the word "review" on there just as click bait. That is no different from any other journalist's 15 minute once over that was at the event. It is a "hands-on". That's all.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I agree. You can get better headphones for $25. Throw some comply foam tips on them and you're good to go.

These sometimes go on sale for under $30. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HSJRT7I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

I like them because they are decent for the price and the volume controls work on my N5 without needing some stupid extra app. Even at $40 they are a good deal. I don't feel too sad when I eventually wear out the cable or lose them.
[Nexus 6P General] PlatinumNick:
so the nexus fingerprint scanner is faster than the iphone 6s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi5L-ml2hVY
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
I thought the India coverage showed ear buds. Wouldn't have surprised me because of the Google Music emphasis.

Michael Fisher at Pocketnow said something about embargo lifting at 0400 Monday morning. Hopefully I'll get to read some reviews before my nightshift is over.

Not surprising considering the other Huawei phone has the fastest fingerprint scanner most reviewers had seen.
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Did u guys watch the video? IP6S smoked the n5x
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
What video did you watch? The 5X was clearly faster
[Nexus 6P General] PlatinumNick:
huh what video are you watching, are you clearly stating that based on that video the phone 6s has a faster fingerprint unlock than the nexus 5x?
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Hahaha hahaha I watched it with sound off and I just saw the screens come on. I didn't notice it wasn't unlocked yet on ip... smfh how dare I doubt nexus
[Nexus 6P General] PlatinumNick:
lol you are forgiven
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Depends what you are measuring. The 5x was usable before the 6s every time. And when doing it from the lock screen it wasn't even close
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
umm, no it didn't. Iphone woke up faster, but took longer to actually go to the home screen.
[Nexus 6P General] toyanucci:
The unboxings begin!

https://youtu.be/PlDeTLeGWws

Look at the difference in display saturation between the 5X and 6P! The 5X display looks like the motor XPE I had and boy did I miss the saturation of amoled screens. Can't wait to get my 6P in hand!
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
dude seemed pretty clueless.
[Nexus 6P General] toyanucci:
Kinda...It always amazes me how little some of these tech professionals are. We know more and it's our hobby, they are getting paid and don't know much lol.
[Nexus 6P General] clorbag:

[Nexus 6P General] sacredsoul:
G2 was my last Android phone. Sold it off yesterday after a year in storage. Installed the latest CM. I'd say still a pretty decent phone.
[Nexus 6P General] clorbag:
It's a great phone using pa 5.1 here. Just with all this nexus hype got me wanting it makes my g2 feel so dated

Hmm its looking like the camera, battery, faster storage, ram and screen is better on the note 5.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Based on what? Or are you just trolling?

Edit: just looked and 128 gb unlocked note 5 no where on amazon. Did it ever get released?
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
That comparison was awesome. I really liked the chrome side by side showing the lag on the 808 which is exactly what I saw on my Moto pure which made me send it back. Great find.
[Nexus 6P General] JKWR:
I do have a 128gb nexus 6p Aluminium ordered. Regarding the storage although not clear (rectified now) the storage is faster on the note 5.

Congratulations Everybody!

I read all published reviews although they are still not a full professional review, but they all have one in common : It feels so good in hand, screen looks good, battery is so nice, camera is one the best out there, and no annoying heat :good:

Moreover, it is amazing sites as I continue to find more reviews which are Iphone biased still trumpet the Iphone as the best thing since sliced bread, despite very good research and analytics provided by reputable sites like DxOmark, etc. Always fanboyish, but always amusing. :)

Venuterbeat pretty iphone biased. In short the say display of the iphone 6s is better and camera also WTF.
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
The moto pure had a lot of micro lag in many different applications. Not just chrome.

Looks like the 6P has none of that which is great.

[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
That venturebeat review is an odd one. The first complaint is about the size of the bezels even though he's apparently comparing it to the 6s plus which has even larger ones.

The camera part doesn't provide any examples nor mention shooting conditions.

[Nexus 6P General] omnius1:
I like Fisher, but not Pocketnow in general mainly because I can't stand Rivera, whose reviews tend to come off as obnoxious, biased, and fanboyish with a loose grasp of facts. And he often acts like a smug jerk in his comment responses when he is criticized. OTOH Fisher always carries himself in an intelligent and articulate manner, portrays a good working knowledge of his topic. On an unrelated note, he kind of reminds me of a younger Robert Downey Tony Stark character lol.
