[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parusia:
Just put it in download mode again with volume-, power and home buttons, that will take you to download mode, but because it's stuck with an error is not going to look like a normal download mode, then plug it to your computer with Odin already open, you will see the little window become either yellow or blue, then just flash TWRP, unchecked auto reboot before you flash the recovery. Then after that reboot your phone into recovery mode with power, volume+, and home buttons, and you going to have access to recovery, from there just clean cache, dalvick cache, and factory reset, that is going to wipe all your applications, then just reboot as normal. That happened to me like 2 times already, just follow the steps above and you will be set.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaMan 4:
Xperia SP stuck in bootloop!!! Please HELP!!!

Ok here's the short story.

I made a mistake and accidentally flashed the wrong zip file and now my phone is stuck in bootloop.

It is Locked Bootloader C5303

I have a twrp backup of my previous rom which worked fine but i am not able to access any recovery, the phone just stays on the sony logo and then crashes.

I have tried fixing my phone with pc companion (which has worked before) but now when i try it the software says the update service engine for my phone is not available.

I have tried the androxyde flashtool to reinstall the stock firmware but the flashing stops and says that it has completed flashing system.sin with errors.

I don't know what to do, is there any way of restoring backups without accessing the recovery or maybe there is a way i can access the recovery.

When i hold the volume down button a green light comes but nothing else happens.

any solution will help, i don't mind returning to stock either.

Any help will be eternally appreciated.

Thanks

Give me some details

1. Windows version(7,8.1 or 10)

2.Flashtools version

FYI, if you are on windows 8.1 or above then you have to first disable driver signature verification and then proceed with installing drivers.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricepz:
Hello Guys,

I am posting this thread with a great deal of frustration and of course i'll try to leave the emotions out of this, although it's pretty hard (since that's NOT how i imagined i'll unbox the OPT which i was waiting for, for so long).

Anyways,

I'll cut to the point, I received my OPT package and happily went a head opened the box (hoped not to get a broken phone or anything (like someone who posted a thread here), and indeed the package looked okay and the device looked good (physically speaking).

I started the phone, and i can see the black background white android logo, and then.. Black Screen... I'm telling myself "Ahh that's probably nothing.. let's wait a bit or worse case another restart" waiting didn't help and as you probably know restarts did not help as well.

Okay, since i am not newbie to the android troubleshooting, i said to myself, probably a bad OS boot or some sort of OS issue, let's enter the RECOVERY to reset / wipe / factory reset.

Volume Down + Power Button, can't enter recovery just a Black Screen showing.

Starting the phone again regularly shows the Black Screen but the buttons are glowing blue and if i click on the volume buttons i can hear the sound tick.

Okay, at that point i was getting a bit worried, no recovery, several reboots and Black Screen when going to recovery or normal mode.

So now, i knew i had to go over and search the forums (XDA | One Plus) for more solutions on soft bricked / hard bricked devices.

I found the restoration thread of:

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/general/oneplus-solution-hard-bricked-device-t3183449

Including the QualCom driver method and 2 FULL restoration kits (1 Hidro OS 1 Oxygen).

I followed the steps (trying first the lighter Hidro Kit (without .img's of system etc') finished the process but when it should logon to recovery SAME result.

Then i went ahead and tried the OxygenOS recovery kit, same procedure it finished, phone restarting but same Black Screen.

This is where i am at right now, very frustrated, i raised a TT to the one plus support, i will update how it goes, i assume i passed most of the troubleshooting phases but if anyone has ANY ideas on how to proceed or assist i would be glad to try it out.

In addition i will use this stage to also update on the OnePlus support (refund wise, and TT dealing wise) as i think it's also important to report on the support when actual problems occur and how they handle it.

In any case guys, thanks for reading this, i really hope you will receive your products WORKING as they should, there's not much worse things when it comes to getting a NEW device starting it for the first time and not being able to use it, after waiting for so long for it.

--Video is also attached below.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricepz:
Small Update: I just wish you all to never wait for the OP customer service / technical support. (waiting time is really outrageous for a company which support customers online).

In addition, the technical support team sent me files to download (while i'm explaining her that i tried all of those already) + sending me ROM for OPO (Cyanogen........)

I was in a kind of a shock, while i'm correcting her and telling her there's no CM for OPT and the files she sent me (CM11s?!) are not the correct ones, she sent another mail.

Anyways, i guess you have to go for that "entire process" until they allow you to get a refund.

Hate to type it, but for me it's probably "Never Again" instead of "Never Settle".

CS is the same for most companies, someone in a call centre with little knowledge and a book of instructions to follow. There's no point you saying "I did this already" because they get in trouble if they don't follow the script they have.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mihir571:
I have got the black screen of death too and im a couple of mot=nths into using it

[/COLOR]

So the phone should be responsive even if you cant see the screen. SOOO forget letting it drain, but instead, connect it to pc and install latest twrp. Or crm. Unlocking the bootloader may be difficult as you have to use the power and volume buttons to choose yes or no but i think it starts on yes so just press the power button. Now copy over any rom and gapps (i used exodus and lollipop gapps). Flash them and the phone will boot up surprisingly quickly. This will hopefully stop you from wasting time with support teams that are already overloaded with queries. I hope this helped:D

Hello,

I don't know if i am the only or not but the latest version of Google Play services are really draining anormously the battery.

I did already two complete wipe but the issue remains.

The only workaround until now to perform backup of my games thought Helium and uninstall all updates of Google Services.

Do anyone else have the issue and have maybe another workaround ? I do not want to root my device.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gontie:
I will reply myself then ;)

It unfortunately remain the same workaround which is to disable the updates of Play services and Playstore.

Don't forget to disable automatic update on wifi in the playstore or the Play services will automatically be updated.

Also sometimes a reboot is needed.

Play services was taking 2/3 seconds cpu time every second but with the updates removed, i have about 21 seconds from 8AM to 11:30AM.

If you want to backup your games thought play games, this won't be possible, you will have to backup your phone thought ADB or Helium...
[Fire TV General] schneid:
FireTV 2 gave up its Digital Optical output in favor of a MicroSD card slot. This means legacy equipment equipment without HDMI inputs are not supported. Further if you have a AV device that does accept HDMI input but DOES NOT have Dolby Digital Plus Decoding, Neflix will be silent as its sound is DD+. You can downcode it Stereo in Netflix settings but no more 5.1 Surround.

The good news is that NEW Roku now has a Digital Optical output. Roku lost a lot customers last year to FireTV over this issue. Now Amazon has shot themselves in the foot and sending them, at least me, back to Roku.
[Fire TV General] ulises.rodriguez:
Totally agree, one of the negative things in this new FireTV 2nd Gen., is the lack of Digital Optical output in favor of a MicroSD card slot.

But maybe we could use the following Audio Adapter/Audio Extractor :

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RQ41KK2/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2BUXD0L1W5AKG

I personally have not tested this adapter, so I am not sure if it is compatible or not with the HDMI Output of the new FireTV units !

Others things that Amazon should have updated in this new FireTV (2nd Gen) are :

- USB 3.0, instead of only USB 2.0.

– Gigabit Ethernet, instead of Only 100mbit ethernet.

– HDMI 2.0, because Only HDMI 2.0 can pass 60Hz for 4k, and the New FireTV only comes with HDMI 1.4 that can only passes 4k at 30Hz.

- 4K at 60fps (not only 4K at 30fps), but it will need to have the HDMI 2.0

- More Memory internal memory 3-4GB instead of the current 2GB, and 16-32GB of storage memory instead of the current 8GB.

- NTFS support for external storage, instead of only FAT32.

However, I must say in favor of the FireTV, that although the Nvidia Shield already have some of the above features, is also true that it cost twice than the fireTV US$200.00 !
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
I had no idea all those things were lacking. when i heard 4k i had not idea they didnt put hdmi 2.0..... i cant think of any other produt thats been recently released that still runs on hdmi 1.4
[Fire TV General] schneid:
The gizmos don't work. DD+ requires either a chip or firmware to decode it. The gizmo's will pass sound but down-code it to stereo. There is a box out there for a few hundred that does do it. I haven't paid any attention to this for a year but Sono's couldn't handle DD= either back then.

I'm kind of thinking Tivo Bolt and ditching DirecTV. Since I'm trapped in the Carolina deluge and bored, I went up into the attic and traced to RG-6 runs to assure I could put an antenna up there. Took up a little mini-TV and it could a get a few stations.

Time to cut the cord. Tivo Bolt does 4K, has Digital Optical, accepts a "cable card" or OTA, and has a I 1TB HD. Their commercial skipping software sounds too good to believe. Downside is $400 but that's less than three months DTV.
[Fire TV General] ulises.rodriguez:
schneid, you also could check the following links, where you will find more detailed information and also comparison of the New Fire-TV (2nd Gen) versus the Fire-TV (1st Gen) :

[Fire TV General] wunderdrug:
I think you may only be partially correct about the "gizmo" referred to by the poster. It claims that it will output AC-3 (DD 5.1), but don't know if it will extract the AC-3 signal from the DD+ signal to pass to optical (I doubt it).

And, even if the FTV2 had SP/DIF output, it would still not be able to do DD+ as this requires at least an HDMI 1.3 connection.
[Fire TV General] schneid:
All true. DD+ is HDMI only and requires a chip. I tried one straight-through gizmo that split off an optical feed. and Netflix output stereo. Have an five port HDMI switch with Stereo and Optical outputs. Don't work either, although the Stereo out feeds my whole-house stereo ceiling speaker system, so that was a win. Got the the stuff from Monoprice.
[Fire TV General] freezer2k:
So I'm wondering if the FireTV1 would not be able to do 4k as well?

With HDMI 1.4 and 30fps it should work.

Probably not with h265, but with h264 most likely.

Imho the FireTV2 update is a joke.
[Fire TV General] schneid:
I almost ordered it from Amazon Sunday. Glad I read of some gotchas before I clicked. For me, especially being rooted and not seeing a 4K until widely adopted, I'll stand pat. I's lose more than I'd gain.

I imagine 4k has a lot of moving parts that must move in unison. Too complicated for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reycat:
Hi everybody.

A friend gave my dad his old Xperia S, which was running MIUI. My dad gave it to me because he wanted "proper Android".

ADB worked, CWM Recovery was installed, no root seemed present. I first tried downloading a ROM and flashing from CWM, but it was a no-go, I got a "status 0" error.

No problem, I thought. I installed Flashtool, downloaded one of the 6.2.B.1.96 ROMs (Movistar branded, for Spain) via Xperifirm and flashed it. It didn't work if I went straight to flash mode, it waited at "Reading device information" or something like that. I had to turn on the phone, connect it, chose the flash options in Flashtool and *then* putting the phone in flashmode. If

Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. "SONY" -> XPERIA" -> Rainbow colors -> Movistar Logo -> "SONY" -> "XPERIA"...

I can only stop the bootloop by long pressing Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds, until the phone vibrates three times.

I can flash things, but I actually don't know what I am supposed to flash in order to get a working phone :)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I would recommend flashing a unbranded firmware. Also, do You have bootloader locked or unlocked?

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisakash:
First of all, "I feel sorry for the people on MIUI Forums, disregarding every bug and making people feel as if we should pay Xiaomi for using their devices "

Coming to the point, we all are aware how bad MIUI is at multitasking on MI 3. Heck, I feel jealous of my Galaxy Core(2+ years old) having 1GB of RAM but still able to hold 3 CHROME tabs along with other apps at once.(My MI 3 on the other hand, -_- )

I am least bothered about the "low ram visible to us" thing people complain.I just want proper multtasking capability on my 2 GIGS of ram, and by multitasking, I mean background caching of apps.

Thus , me being a noob, need help to promote this thread so as to find a way ( like buildprop file tweak etc.) which we can use for the MEMORY MANAGEMENT problems on our STOCK MIUI Roms.

I really have lost all hope that we'll be getting proper sources for bug free ROMS, so this is a humble request to all capable developers that we have here.

Thanks in advance!! :fingers-crossed:

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisakash:
UPDATE

So as an update, after changing Memory Optimisation to "NONE" , the situation has improved only by 8-10% or so, and the RAM management issue remains the same.So I am probably stuck with the phone for another year. Atleast the phone does not lag one bit.:angel:
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
First thing I did when I got this phone, was to flash a custom ROM. I came form a Nexus 4, where very few people use the stock ROM.

Right now, there are plenty of excellent options for the Mi3.

I have been using EOS for about 2 months now, and I highly recommend it. I installed an app called Resource Monitor Pro, which allows you to display available RAM on the screen - I have positioned it to just next to the (centred) clock.

Between updating to later versions of this ROM, I have had 300 hours of uptime without any sort of lag, using all sorts of apps and games: RAM management has been exactly as expected - between 400mb and 600mb free. That is, the ROM is doing a good job of managing memory, killing old tasks and keeping recent tasks in memory until something else comes along.

If I were you, I would read up on how to get into the dangerously addictive world of custom ROMs...
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.broken.star:
Okay, one more solution if you want to stick to miui (as it is the most stable rom) and not lollipop roms.

Use a third party MiUi rom. These guys have really improved multitasking on the modded miui roms. I don't know if its allowed to post link here, but there you go :

http://m.romzj.com/rom/35835.htm
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisakash:
The only reason keeping me from trying a custom rom is a working camera with good pictures, and certain deal breaker bugs.Do you suggest to try the ROM inspite of the above?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.broken.star:
Try the ROM that I posted the link to.. Its MiUi with some tweaks...
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisakash:
You use the above ROM? Any reviews?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.broken.star:
Yup.. I'm using it for past 2 weeks. Its very fast as compared to original miui.

1) multitasking is better. On original miui, suppose you have chrome opened with 3 tabs, you get a sms containing OTP, you open the msg, copy the OTP, switch back to chrome and you find that all three tabs start to load again, and whatever transaction you are in between on lost.

But in this ROM tabs dont reload. When you open a lot of apps together, then only old apps are closed automatically..

Try it.. You can flash it on your current MiUi without wiping system or data. Remember to flash Gapps after flashing this rom.. It dont have GApps built in..
