[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonebear:
I flashed the factory image the other day then yesterday I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0, Supersu beta 2.51 and ElementalX 4.01 kernel, I am rooted but have no rw and also can only flash from the USB mount...I assume this is because I am still encrypted.

What I would like to know is if I can decrypt now? There is a "decrypt data" button in TWRP (in the mount section) or should I wipe the data partition, I have read that that should remove the encryption as I have a no-force encrypt kernel installed http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/general/guide-flash-6-0-root-forceencrypt-stock-t3219421
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonebear:
I wiped the data partition and ensured MTP was enabled (in mounts, only shows up after wiping data) and when I rebooted I was decrypted and rooted, I still have a r/o file system so I couldn't use Solid Explorer to change the hosts file but I was able to use ADB Push when in recovery.

I would just like to get rid of the warning during boot "your device is corrupt blah blah" is there any way of getting rid of that?

Also, even though MTP is enabled, whenever I connect the device it shows up in Explorer as an empty folder/drive and I have to go into Developer Options and select "charging only" and then re-select "MTP" and the window pops up with the files in as it should do.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
I believe that the use of ElementalX Kernel cause's that warning!

I got it when I used ElementalX-N9-3.00.zip Kernel (Which also has system write turned off).

Since I flashed stock again and used Chainfire's Root Method, I no longer get that warning!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
Latest ElementalX Kernel no longer gives that warning: -

Pulled my phone out of my pocket this morning and saw lines, distortion through out the screen. Everything except the top 1/4 of the screen. Screen wasn't hit. Was working fine a hour a so earlier. Really just want to know if anyone has seen this before. I'm pretty sure it's the screen but want to make sure before I go and order a new one. Thanks for any help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] moovius:
The history of my S4 LPH-L720:

1. I bought this when it was first released in May of 2013.

2. I've been using custom roms for a solid 2 years and the issue just started within the last 6 months.

The problem:

1. Recently it's been dropping the data connection completely, which requires me to cycle airplane mode to get it back (cycling Data Connection does nothing).

2. This happens with LTE and EVDO connections, but if I force it to CDMA (1X) then I don't experience the data drops.

3. This is happening with multiple Sprint towers as well.

My questions for the community are:

1. If my phone is slowly dying then I'm considering another Sprint S4 (L720 not the L720T) on eBay, but I wanted to see if others with the original S4 are having similar issues with data connections, in case it's a Sprint specific thing.

I need the non-spark model because I can use voice and LTE data at the same time. This is very handy when I need to tether and still use my phone.

2. Are their any Sprint LTE bands that this phone is incompatible with that could be causing this issue?

Thank you for your input!

Have you updated your PRL and Profile any time recently?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] moovius:
Yes. I had to reflash the stock rom to update PRL and Profile, then I reloaded by custom rom.

I may try this one more time though, by going with the stock rom for a week and see if it keeps happening.

Hello,

I am looking for the original smart window flip cover. It is slightly over sized and has the leatherite finish on the back as well. Does anyone know where it is available?

I had bought a second one recently, but that has a smooth slippery plastic back and is not the same as what I had got from Amazon with the phone last year.

I have checked on gethuawei.com and they seem to be now selling the plastic finish (back) nowadays...

It is not excactly what you are looking for but the smart flip covers from Nillkin have a rough, not slippery backside. But they cover the phone completly including original back cover.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CookooCam:
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. I tried to root my first gen kindle fire using KFU 0.9.9, but it wouldn't work. I tried using super, and it worked right away. I wanted to put a custom recovery on it so I could try to add an Android ROM to it. Using ADB, I got it into fastboot, but when I tried to load the custom recovery, it just said waiting for device. I unplugged it, switched USB slots, switched USB cables, restarted it, plugged it into the charger and back into the computer, but nothing works. My PC won't even recognize the device. In device manager, it shows up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). If I try to type anything into ADB, it just says "waiting for device". I'm at a loss. Please help me, or guide me in the right direction, but please don't recommend KFU. because I cannot get that to work at all. Right now, the device is just on fastboot mode, and won't do anything else except turn off.

TL;DR: Rooted my 1st Gen Kindle Fire, got it stuck in fastboot, and my PC only recognizes it as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" in device manager.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CookooCam:
Hey, thanks for replying! I shut it off overnight, and when I booted it back up, it was working fine. I used one of your tutorials on Youtube to flash TWRP (without KFU), but now I'm having trouble flashing a ROM. Everytime that I try to flash one, I get a "status 7" error. I looked around, and saw one post about removing asserts from the updater-script file, and I tried it but it just created a status 4 error. No ROM that I try to flash works, so if you could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

few minutes ago i flashed XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition. Had no problems, everything is smooth and working. but let me ask one question.

is it normal that it takes the same volume as the old "default" samsung one? im mean i am almost hitting the 7 gb just for system. (really nasty at 32 gb version^^)

have i done something wrong or maybe its because of the deodexed rom?

thanks :)

i already wiped (still the same result):

Dalvik Cache

Chache

System

Data

after some research i found this:

androidcentral.com/bloatware-galaxy-s-6-sucks-not-reasons-many-think

after reading that article i proberly understanding my problem. seems like its not possible to use that system storage for other apps/data even if you rooted and on a custom kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
With every of my apps installed I have 25 GB left on the sdcard. But the naked fresh installation of the deodex version should use way less memory.

you can try clean install of that rom..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozy12:
by cleaninstall you mean formating e.g in twrp?

because i already wiped: Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache.

did it once again, still the same result.

i found this:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Does not matter. In order to get more space from /system you need to repartition the whole emmc and there is no custom PIT file for it yet. So that space is currently reserved no matter what ROM you install.
[Sony Xperia ZR] MrSalue:
Hey guys I have an Xperia ZR and it's been having issues since Lolipop even down grading didn't fix the issue ( it keeps rebooting while using it ) so I want to install a custom android that is running Android 5.1.1 like CM 12 or anything that is better.

I already unlocked boot loader

I have the Latest Android update from 5.1.1

My Questions are

1.How do I Get Custom Recovery and Install Custom Android Room + Keernal

2.How do I Root the Phone ?

3.What is the Best Custom Android Running 5.1.1 ( and best Kerenal because I feel like the stock kernal is bad )

4.Is there like a Custom Android that will have also stamina mode ?

Please help so I can start using the phone again
[Sony Xperia ZR] MrSalue:
thanks for the reply !

there is no root method on lolipop ?

so you want me to download a pre-rooted stock rom.

is it better than custom android like CM12?
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
Download any of the custom ROM's available ie CM 12.1, Resurrection Remix etc... Then search and download ADB/fastboot tool.. (it's the fastboot tool you'll be using)

Extract the ADB/fastboot tool to your C drive on your comp.

Open the downloaded ROM zip and extract the boot.img to the ADB/fastboot folder in C (try to find a boot.img that contains TWRP recovery.. The CM recovery is not good)

Place the ROM zip to your ext/int SD-card in your phone

Back up your data using nand-droid/Titanium etc

Search and find Gapps (flashable zip) for LP 5.1.1 and place in ext/int sd-card

Search and find Supersu (flashable zip.. most custom ROM's are kind of half rooted and need the supersu app to be installed) and place in your ext/int Sd-card

Power off your phone

Hold the VOL-UP button and connect your phone to your pc while holding the VOL-UP button.. You'll see first a red LED and then it turns to blue... you're now in fastboot mode

in the folder containing ADB/fastboot and your boot.img, place the cursor on an empty spot, press shift+right-click and in the pop-up, select "open command window here"

In the black screen, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and press enter.. (it will take less than 2 seconds to complete)

then type "fastboot reboot" and press enter... your phone will now reboot.

when you see the sony splash screen the LED will change color to green or pink... press VOL-UP on your phone while the LED is green/pink... hold the button and you'll see recovery come up..

In recovery, wipe cache, data, system and dalvik...

go back to main menu and press install.. navigate to where you have the ROM, Gapps and supersu and install all..

once done, reboot your phone.. (the first boot will take some time)

thats it, you're done.. You'll now have a rooted phone with recovery installed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boogitt:
Please help. I have SM-G925T. I have used odin 3.10.7 to flash latest stock firmware. After it says success the phone reboots saying installing system updates then immediately says erasing.. then during boot it gets stuck on logo screen and repeatedly flashes. then when entering into stock recovery a no command android symbol displays. I wipe cache and perform a factory reset and reboot system and same bootloop continues. I also went to samsung smart switch and used the emergency recovery mode and once it completes it restarts phone automatically and still bootloop. I am using the latest OI1 firmware update on the device. I have tried wipe cache partition and factory reset numerous times, I have also flashed bootloader and modem files through odin which pass but still bootloops. I have tried the update before the OI1 which was OH6 and it fails saying check failed on the phones download screen. Only the OI1 passes successfully due to the SWREV is now showing B:3 K:2 S:2 & before I updated to the OI1 it used to say B:2 K:2 S:2. I have tried flashing custom kernel and the latest TWRP it then says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and in Twrp I have preformed wipe and factory reset.. with no luck on getting passed the bootloop. So I reflashed everything OI1 again through odin & preformed the wipe cache partition & factory reset again but still stuck. I have tried safe mode but I cannot boot into safe mode and I have been seeing posts explaining to upload a PIT file but when flashing I have no error when it comes to Get pit mapping so I don't believe that would be needed and I have tried flashing the files I mentioned earlier individually and no go so please if there is anyone that can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. I did not tick anything that I wasn't suppose to in Odin so I'm not understanding after being on the latest version of everything that my phone is still not booting.

So I followed the instructions here i found on google by searching "how to how to root s6 edge plus", second link down... and it was a bad idea. Now my phone will boot, and show the lock screen for a second or two, and then just reboot. So I'm stuck in a bootloop. I'm fairly new to the android rooting scene (I've been jailbreaking iPhones sice 2007). What do I do? I tried restoring the default firmware in Odin but it didn't work. HELP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
Your phone is not bricked.

Best bet is to odin flash the official stock firmware and then go into recovery mode.

When in recovery do a factory reset.

Then reboot the phone.

After doing the above the phone will work fine.

Good luck,

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoots:
Folks,

Got a question for you -- as per the title. To give you a little background, I bought an S2 8.0, loved it, and then decided that I really ought to replace my existing "data plan" tablet from the S 8.4 to the S2 9.7. So, good-bye to the S2 8.0, and I've got a new S2 9.7 LTE.

All is well, EXCEPT for some screen oddness. I'll have to post some pictures, but I think I can describe it well enough. To begin with, I don't really like "busy" wallpaper -- I just use a solid-color, medium-to-dark blue wallpaper as my background. What I really notice, both in portrait and landscape orientation, is a darker band at the top of the screen -- again, it happens in both portrait and landscape orientation. It seems to be a "viewing angle" thing, as the dark "top" in landscape orientation doesn't turn into a dark "side" in portrait orientation. Instead, when I move to portrait orientation, then the top of the screen has this dark band, and the sides are just fine.

But I don't notice quite the same thing happening when I get into some apps -- for instance, the yellow/orange top band in the "Memo" application doesn't turn noticeably darker. But the green top band in the "Evernote" application shows it IN SPADES, though it's a really thin band at the very edge of the screen. And, again, it's always at the top, no matter which orientation I'm in, that I see the dark band.

Anyway, that's the most obvious stuff. However, when you back up and take the whole screen in view, what I'm really seeing is A LOT OF COLOR CHANGE as I angle the tablet towards me (more vertical) and away from me (more horizontal). Again, just go into the Memo application, and lay your tablet flat on a table, then grab it and tilt it up towards you -- do you get a big change in color, or does it stay the same? I guess I would say that the "white" color "turns bluish" as I raise the tablet towards me (making it more vertical), and it goes more to a normal white when I lay it flat.

I can understand changes in screen quality due to viewing angles, but that's not something that I associate with OLED screens. I sure didn't see anything like this at all with the S2 8.0 that I had. And I've started looking at S2 9.7 tablets in stores, and I really haven't seen anything like it in the stores. Thus, I'm definitely thinking about returning the thing -- unless it's really a case of "they all do it."

So, if you guys could check out your tablets and let me know if you see anything like this, I would appreciate it. It's not worth taking the thing back and asking for an exchange if what I'm seeing is common, but I'm definitely a bit disappointed in the screen quality that I've got with this tablet.

Thanks in advance for checking this out for me, and for any thoughts you'd like to send my way!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paranoyd1:
I have yet to see an S2 that can display a uniform white screen. I can always see a light pink/purple tint on a white background. If all you're doing is consuming media you will never notice, but if you're reading anything with a white background it gets too distracting. I don't see any issues with uniform brightness though, it looks perfect from that standpoint.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoots:
Understood -- thanks. I installed a couple of screen testing apps, and they show no issues. For instance, I pulled up a full-screen blue that was very similar to the blue I'm using for my background, and it was nicely solid blue. Then I pulled up a full-screen green that was similar to the top of Evernote, and it was nicely solid blue. Then I pulled up a full-screen white, and you could see what you and I have both mentioned -- it does change colors a bit as you move the screen around.

So, it's just very strange what my S2 is doing -- it's like it must have something to do with other on-screen elements. I'll definitely take it back and exchange it for another one, but I'm just trying to get a grip on whether this is happening on any other S2 tablets. And it definitely appears that it isn't.

Thanks for your reply!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GidiK:
I've been checking my T815 a little while ago after noticing similar behaviour. The way I see it, the tab S2 screen is very sensitive to the viewing angle. Not so much in blue and red, but very much so in green. In fact, to get a proper green, I have to look dead on. I even notice a change in the green colour: dead on it's yellowish green, while even at a slight angle it is an uglier green. The first is clearly what the device is calibrated for, because that's when things like skin tones look perfect.

I used the *#0*# menu to test.

I compared this to my other devices. On the note4 I didn't notice this. But that may be because of the smaller screen. On my previous tab, tab77, the effect was also completely absent. But that one has a completely different oled layout.

I've already eliminated display modes and auto brightness as influences. I still have to look into the effects of ambient light, since the displays of my devices do reflect differently when turned off. In fact, under some angles the tab S2 reflects a bright white lamp as pure green. While the tab77 always reflects the same lamp as white.

I know that the tab S2 has an rgb matrix that has two Gs for every R and B. That's probably related to the effect I'm seeing.
