I really had no clue that you didn't need Root to flash a Rom.. This is my first Nexus device. I have owned 5 android devices and always rooted to flash custom roms. You just blew my mind.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you do not need root, but you need an unlocked bootloader and to fastboot flash twrp recovery(so you can flash roms or kernels). the only thing that you would need root for is an app to control kernels. but if youre not into controlling kernels, then no root is needed :)

I didn't even root my phone on Lollipop. Made a few changes in recovery, and had custom recovery, but that was the extent of my changes.

Unfortunately, Xposed isn't out for Marshmallow yet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StykerB:
I unencrypted and the only benefit I see to not having root is that you can do OTA's but since unencrypting and custom recovery took that away I might as well get root and enjoy viper4android, ad-block, custom kernels, play music exporter, no nag tethering (yes I pay for it, just hate when the checking subscription stalls cuz AT&T can't be bothered to fix it), etc.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsn0w:
I have a T-Mobile HTC One M9 and I have a few questions. Coming from an iPhone, and previously a Nexus 5, I'm not really familiar with different editions and how HTC does it. So here are my questions:

1. Does every edition (TMo, VZW, ATT, etc) have the same hardware but a different identifier somewhere in a software component?

2. Is it possible for me to "convert" my T-Mobile model into a "generic" one (developer, bought from HTC) without losing OTA capability?

3. What's the WWE edition?

4. What fun can I have with S-OFF?

Anyone who can answer these would have my eternal gratitude! Thank you!

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] osssinator:
Hi guys, anybody has an idea why is my SM-T320 is changing that slow. It almost cannot reach 100% even if I keep it 13hrs or more on the charger. Reboot doesn't help, maybe if I switch it off is a little bit faster, but not so sure.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
Yeah sometime it happens with this device my best advise is don't try force charging it (leaving it plugged in), it will only make it worse and damage / overheat the batt..

Do this instead leave it at the current charge and use the tablet until the battery is down to about 10-15% then reboot the tablet, see if the percent changes as this forces the tablet to re-evaluate the battery, then fully shut down press the power button down for 5 - 10 seconds and choose power off.

plug the tablet into the samsung charger (don't use unofficial chargers/ cables if possible), it should reach 100% now.

some other things I have tried that can help

I have a cable that monitors the amperes and sometimes I notice the tablet doesn't request enough feed from the charger (it starts trickling at like 100mA) usually when its almost nearly charged,

so sometimes if you force keep the screen on with moderate or full brightness, and power saver turned off while charging this causes the charger to send more current and you will notice it will say 100% a lot faster, so that is another thing you can try.

As a last resort you can re-seat the battery but I would only suggest that in extreme cases.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] osssinator:
otyg@ , thanks. Last night exactly at midnight i put it on the charger, it was on 50% like. After 7 hours it was 95% . I rebooted it and after 3 minutes it was 100%.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] favero_:
I was having the same problem, changing the usb cable did the trick...

;)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] osssinator:
I tried with my i9505 charger which is the same but again the same issue. Actually for example when reaches 30% it stops you have to reboot the device to continue chargin. Sometimes but not very often it charges normally.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
Yeah it's very picky sometimes I wonder if it's temperature related, mine was never as bad as yours but I have seen it stop at around 95% a few times, I have an amper cable and it reads like 100mA - 50mA (in standby, 0mA - 10mA if wifi is off), sometimes unpluging the charger and re-pluging it in gets it going again.

You could try to fully shut the tablet down, and keep it off for 24hours - let everything kindof reset and discharge (like if it was exposed to ESD) , shame samsung didn't include a reset button since that would be like pulling the battery.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sicron:
You might have the same battery problems many of us have, check the link in my signature on how to fix it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] marbee:
I had that problem too.

Tried drain the battery end then it would sometimes charge to full but after 1 or 2 charging cycles the problem re-occured again.

Reseating the battery was the solution for me. After i have done that the problem never occured again. ( 8 months ago ):):):):)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] osssinator:
I believe it's somehow related with the smartcase. You guys have smartcases?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] marbee:
No, dont use any case.

I dont believe it is heat related. The onlu thing i did was disconnect the battery and reconnect. After i have done that it was like i had an new battery.

No problems with charging anymore and a little bit more stamina.

Dont know why, but many of us had this problem and this seems to fix that "bug".
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
I use an amp cable (shows the current flow), if the reading is less then 1880mA (at 50% or less) then I unplug the charger and cable use the tablet alittle more then re-plug it in - hasn't failed me yet
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] osssinator:
I think I found a solution :

Leave the device to complete discharge until it switch off by it self. Then put the charger but don't switch it on. Let it charges to 100%. I did that 3 times. Now I successfully charged it to 100% 2 times without switch it of.

The reason why I am looking for that kind of solution is because I have warranty, but Samsung will keep it for like 2-4 weeks.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Beut:
Actually when you have disconnect and connect battery, the battery connector doesn't make good contact with pins of the black battery connector on main board.

The fix is very simple, push the clips of battery cable closer

How do you guys think? Does this tablet gonna get the KK update or not? The SM-T210 has KK, and it's same as T110 but t210 has 3G, and i think exonys CPU 1,2ghz and T110 has Marvell PXA 986 1,2ghz. I think it's not that much of a difference in a CPU, and samsung can do a 4.4.2 on Sm-t110. How do you guys think? Will Samsung do 4.4.2 for SM-T110?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
I am having an issue getting my phone to turn on. I have been running the original Lollipop version, OB7 I believe, rooted via CF-Root, with TWRP recovery installed via Flashify but with the original kernel. I have done no other updates to the phone since then. I have been having some issues with some odd hardware behavior (not recognizing the HD card and the Sim card, not charging correctly, not appearing on the computer when I plug it in), so I decided I wanted to bring my phone back to the Sprint store. Before doing that, I decided to restore stock recovery and unroot the phone before bringing it in so I have no issues with it. So I used flashify to install the stock recovery. However, when I go into recovery mode I can get into recovery, but when I do, I have the "DM-verity verification failed" on the screen as well as recovery options. I read that may be due to still being rooted, so I went into SuperuserSU and unrooted the phone. I then rebooted. The phone when rebooting in the normal mode gets stuck on the Sprint Spark screen. I can get into recovery mode (still getting the DM verity message) and I can still get into download mode, and when I do, I can recognize the phone in Odin. The Kies/Smart Switch program does not recognize the phone. I went into recovery and tried doing a factory reset, and I still get stuck on the Sprint Spark screen. I have heard that after a factory reset you can be stuck on the Sprint Spark for a while, but it has been over 15 minutes. I assume I need some kind of stock ROM (OB7?) to install via Odin? Does that sound right? I'd appreciate suggestions, I am obviously concerned as I cannot get my phone started at the moment.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Yes, if OB7 is your bootloader, power down, boot into download mode and flash the OB7 stock tar, let it auto reboot and go through the setup wizard. Look for the tar in Sprint Note 4 general forum.

If you're not sure what your bootloader is, you could flash CF Auto root and see if it boots and verify the bootloader with Phone Info app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Not sure why you're taking the phone to Sprint but usually the factory reset and Odin flash will fix it unless it's hardware failure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
Thanks for the verification. Downloading the Tar now. My phone was definitely on OB7.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skurtov:
Just a question, wondering if anyone has had an experience with this. I bought a water damaged ATT Note 3 for cheap and the only damaged part inside was the logic board. I know since it has a locked bootloader its a PIA to get root and such. So I was thinking of just swapping in a T-Mobile board. They look the same with connections in the same spots. This would save me a lot of effort. Anyone know about this ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skurtov:
Just a follow up. Parts swap in perfectly! For anyone interested make sure to replace the radio module at the bottom end of the phone when replacing the logic board. For anyone wanting to rid themselves of a locked bootloader, find yourself a busted Note 3 on the cheap and swap it in.

I just installed your ROM + open gapps pico on a clean flash with twrp 2.8.6.1

Everything is working except the MMS with stock app but it works with google messenger.

I tried to install boeffla sound app but your kernel doesn't support it.

Therefore as I saw that selinux was set to enforcing, I decided to install Archikernel to get benefit of boeffla sound. It works.

I did untutu benchmark :

Stock kernel 25300 (default settings)

Archikernel 28900 (default settings + touchwake enabled)

It looks like phone function is working fine without any delay but need time to be sure.

Xposed v75 sdk22 arm installed and working with my modules without any troubles.

I will try GPS tomorrow.

Edit: one issue that I forgot to report but I guess it's from slimlp source about the launcher. When I press home button, it switches always between page0 and homepage. Not a big deal anyway.

Also, I forgot a detail which is important for some of us regarding the flash light. The torch is not switching off when the screen turn off. Good point in my opinion.

similar situation

Hello guys,

my situation is quite similar to the posters one. i've bought the S5 active (AT&T) with some custom TMS5 rom, when i boot i sie unlocked lock icon.

the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)

the question is can i get somehow to the STOCK firmware? maybe upgrading to the 5.1.1 will get rid of this "custom stuff"?

if so, what's the best way to do it?
