In the topic says to download this:

"- adb http://www.multiupload.nl/VU164H9Y20"

But the file is expired.

This "adb" is the same file ".exe" inside the file "EFS Professional" that you send to me?

And if yes... When I do a double click in file "adb", it open a screen like a "command prompt" and closes fastly. So how can I run the commands like was said by [MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] if the screen closes? Do I have to use Terminal Emulator app?

Thanks.

First, if you haven't already, download Stock firmware for your phone. (Sammobile.com is best I think but you have to have free membership to DL) Make sure you get the right one - some Asian phones are different partitions to Euro ones.

Download Odin 3.09

Turn phone OFF - this is a must to have modem/bootloader get replaced. Start phone in Download mode with [Menu] + [Vol Down] + [Power] then [Vol Up] to go into DL mode.

Run Odin as Administrator. (right-click and choose it) Connect phone to USB from PC. Note if this doesn't show on PC you may need Samsung drivers installed on PC.(Link is

HERE

The phone will show up in Odin when it is connected.

Click AP and find the stock firmware and add it. Wait - it will take a minute or so until it says Ready.

Click Start. Wait... Wait some more. When it is ready it will restart the phone and you can run setup of the phone.

Good luck! :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
I thought my screen was great, even after seeing this thread on Android Central. Received a new one today and the banding is highly visible and shocking.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...953-screen-brightness-uneven-anyone-else.html

If you put up a solid white wallpaper it's very visible and remains visible on virtually all plain colors applied. The text of my last post follows:

["You are all 100% right about the dark bands. After a bit of testing, I realized which launcher you use will also affect the depth of the color of the top and bottom banding. With TouchWiz the top is dark, though not as dark as Apex, and the bottom is somewhat lighter. The same applies to Nova for the top and bottom banding. On Apex the banding is very dark and really bad.

The Kindles suffer from a similar issue and it has to do with the leds. Amazon got a lot of grief over their Voyage because the color differences and banding are so bad. Not everyone could see it though, which leads me to believe it also might have to do with vision differences. I always use very dark walls and so didn't notice it on my 8.0 until my 9.7 comparison tab arrived today. The banding was so bad it shocked me. I LOVE my 8.0, but I may return both and wait for a later iteration, and / or see if anything is fixed with an update. I intend to root ultimately, so I'm not liking the idea of taking any updates.

Has anyone tried using their tabs in natural light to see if the issue persists? I can't today or tomorrow. Will try it on Friday.

FWIW - this issue is visible on any plain color screen with vary degrees of visibility."]

[General Questions and Answers] anoukaimee:
Hi:

I am a newbie, but I've learned a lot about things using this site and others. Thank you!

I have a rooted LG Volt, which of course has the odious KitKat restrictions on putting apps on SD cards. I've read about mini-tools and have Link2SD (premium, so I can link everything to the SD), but haven't tried it out yet because I wanted to ask some questions first. For reference, I have a 16g (class?) 10 SD card, which I've verified is legit using an app (forgot name).

1) Is there a maximum size for the second (ext) partition? I've read 2g, but other sites have said that there are now no restrictions. 2g is quite small for me since the Volt has very little internal memory, and I download a ton of apps; I don't use as much data. Ideally, I'd like to go half and half (approx. 8/8g data/app partition).

2) If it is limited to 2g, is there any workaround that doesn't require a ton of knowledge? I read something about changing system apps to user apps, but would this work--and is there a noob-friendly walk through?

3) Is there a preferred ext partition type? Again, I've read varied opinions; most say that ext2 is optimal, but others say ext4 might work better with Link2SD.

4) Is there any advantage to using a swap file? Again, varied opinions, but it seems mostly beneficial in terms of speed, and not to a degree that it matters.

I have other questions regarding partition alignment (found a calculator, so I think I can figure out how to optimize the partitions) and will probably have more in the future, but I would really love answers (or else links to answers) about these issues.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
First of all, you haven't told us what are you trying to do. If you are just trying to get a few questions anwsered just say so.

From what I see you are trying to use Link2SD because of the kitkat sd card restriction?

Note: Apps can't detect if an SD card is fake. It will just test how fast it is and guess if it's fast engough for it's class ;)

You can remove the KitKat SD restriction with this app: SDFix

1) Yes, there is a restriction but it depends on how it's formated: on ext2 and 3 the limit is 35184 GB on a single partition and ext4 has a max limit of 1152921500 GB.

2) It's not limited to 2GB. Changing system apps to user and user to system is useless and should not be done if you don't know what exactly and why you are doing it. Don't let root fool you. Deleting system apps will NOT give you more free space for all the games.

3) Depends on support. If your phone supports ext4 (and it does) use that if not use lower such as ext3 then 2 and so on.

4) Look at this as a glass and some water. Water is memory to be put in ram and the glass is the ram your phone has.

The more water you put in it, the less space there is. And when it's full it will overflow, and your phone will freeze or reboot.

What swap does is when the water overflows in the glass (the ram gets full), the water (memory) that overflows goes to a swap file instead of it just getting lost and the phone getting frozen.

But remember, any SD card is MUCH SLOWER that RAM and using swap will not give any preformacne improvments.

The swap sould be factory set anyways and it also uses a lot of storage.

You REALLY shouldn't mess with the partitions.

You could break your phone forever.

What I recommend using is FolderMount and GL2SD. FolderMount is exactly like Link2SD, but you don't need to do any fancy partitioning. And GL2SD works great too, the only downside is that you have to run the apps (you moved to SD) from within the app.
[General Questions and Answers] anoukaimee:
Thank you!

Wonderful, clear answers! Yes, just trying to figure out "what to do" so I can add more apps to the Volt in the easiest manner possible. Apologize for not being clearer about that.

Just some follow-up questions:

1) will the app cited above (nextapp) allow me to move apps to the sd, or just data? Never having had an android other than this one with the dread KitKat, I don't know how it typically works after a KitKat fix. So should I format the entire sd card as FAT32 or ext4 (is the latter even possible)? And where will the data that I do have be saved if I don't partition the card? All on the one partition?

2. RE: FolderMount and GL2SD: that sounds great. The one concern that I have is that Link2SD's support (I THINK that's where I found this) said that the problem with putting an app on an sd card versus linking it is that if you take the sd card out, all of the apps will be gone. Is that just incorrect?

Thanks again! Very helpful. :)

Kindle fire 2nd gen

For the life of me i have been googling and looking at hundreds of threads and cannot get this thing running the 2nd bootloader. i used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100963&page=54 this one by hashcode but all of his files are gone. i used a mirror someone posted but i keep bootlooping after following the instructions. does anyone have a working way to get this thing on a second bootloader with recovery?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] humanBREW:
I think you have the new firmware, well reflash bootloader and the second bootloader and twrp. Switch to a normal cable, and input this command

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery

That should let you boot in the second bootloader, tap the power button when you see fire with blue letters to select recovery, then when un recovery, use adb to push your ROM:

adb push yourrom.zip /sdcard/

And there you go, wipes: factory reset, and advanced> wipe dalvik caché,

And now you can proceed to install the zip
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoGa:
Hi all,

Anyone knows if there is a trick to be able to :

- use the LiveDisplay functionnaly of CM12.1 without introducting lags ?

- reduce the strength of the vibrate mode ?

I use the MDNIE Tuner (movie/photo/basic profile) with my Tab S 8.4 to overcome the oversaturated original colors of the AMOLED screen. This app makes wonder but it also would be nice to be able to slightly adapt temperature of the display (so that colors would be even more outstanding). LiveDisplay does exactly that but my tablet is very laggy when activated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jasonalice:
Anybody done it before? As lollipop really suck big times, i rather stick with kitkat.

Im using Yoga tablet 2 830LC

If u do please help to provide detail tutoria

Many thanks in advance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
you must have root before continuing, go and download these two files, you will need them later:

1. your archive with the files for restoring the 830LC bios (while the name says 830F the bios is identical with the 830LC /i have checked/ so you can use it with no worries, DO NOT EXPERIMENT however with other files)

2. the 830LC stock rom

now go and follow the steps provided here (what you need to do, especially in step A can very easy hardbrick your device if not careful), after you complete step A in the post, follow the step B using your stock rom downloaded (at 2. above) the intel flash tool and the drivers are in the "tools" folder of the already downloaded stock rom so you only need the two archives/files already downloaded. the 830F has the same kitkat bios as 830LC (all base model numbers share the same bios eg: 830L(C) bios = 830F, but not different numbers, ie 1050F has not the same bios with 1380F)

be careful, and do not experiment, especially the step A (flashing the bios) can very easy hardbrick your device (with no software recovery possible) and you will have to send it at lenovo for repairing... if you are not sure of something better ask

TODO:

update with something more straightforward (and safer for the casual user)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jasonalice:
Thank you very much, this is a very big help, very much appreciated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
no no, i thank you... it's not every day that i get the chance to chat with someone who talks on a 8" phone (there's also a 10" one you know? and while no official rom exist if you buy a 13" tab i will mod an existing one to make the calls work on that for you)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jasonalice:
Thanks pal.

One more favor, does 'Root ghe yoga 8/10' meyhod work for 830LC as well?

Just need to clarify to avoid bricking mt tab.

Thanks again.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
ya

option T3 for kitkat
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jasonalice:
Sorry, im new to all this thing, any detail tutorial how to downgrade the bios in section A

many thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
what details you need? just do exactly as it says in step A, but then again if you still need details maybe it's safer for you to stay on Lollipop or try to find other ways to downgrade

it's just a matter of moving around some files and typing some commands in the android shell (you have a terminal installed?)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jasonalice:
Installed terminal emulator, but don't know how to use.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
you should stay on lollipop until some form of official downgrade will appear

if you don't know how to use a term most likely you will brick your tab

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuskhayru:
As the topic says, is it possible? Just wanna know.. :confused:
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Can change it in build.prop (not really sure how, haven't looked at the differences between the two models)

Can change the ROM of the device to that which comes with the A2003 (I think HydrogenOS to OxygenOS, assuming A2001 is the Chinese model)

But can you change the actual model number written on the phone or its box? No of course not, but you can change every other difference to represent the A2003. So essentially, yes you can. The hardware is identical anyway, so why would you want to? Unless you're talking about the modem frequency bands, then I have no idea how that works, whether it's hardware or simply a modem flash.. No idea.

Wait, is the A2001 the 16GB international model? There might be unexpected consequences if you pursue trying to change things to the 64GB. Like falsely reporting RAM size or storage space for example.. Just a thought.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuskhayru:
Mine 64gb version. Its a chinese version. I see that asian model is a2003, and this a2001 is refering to chinese ver. But so far i doesnt have any problem using this chinese version in asia. I just wanna know is it possible or not.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansou901:
You can't change the model version itself. There's slightly different hardware configuration to support different bands in different versions. You can change it in build.prop,but be aware that this change doesn't change the supported bands, it just displays another model version in settings.

Hello, I rooted my phone tonight, did a backup which previously was visible in the restore area of the twrp, also put that backup on my desktop, and then put on the new pure nexus rom. I have project fi and it won't work for some reason. It keeps giving me an error saying "unfortunately, your project fi service can't be activated right now." I'm sure I did something wrong and so I just wanted to go back to my working regular version and do it over, but when I went to restore, the old file was no longer there. When I boot back into pure nexus, the computer doesn't recognize my phone and won't allow me to put the backup I have on the PC onto my phone cause it doesn't even see my phone. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Swipe down on the notification bar and select "USB options" (or whatever it's called). A menu with 4 or 5 items should pop up. Select "MTP for file transfer". Your computer should now see your phone so you can copy your backup onto it.

It's a new feature in Android M and I think it's pretty stupid that it defaults to "charging only".

Today my 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC arrived. I purchased this nice little guy for my new Sony Xperia Z3 compact.

Just to let you know: Everything works fine and the whole mermory card ( 197GB ) is recognized by my cell phone.

Unbelievable isn't it, 200GB of memory in a smart phone !!!

I know it is (still) too much, but connected to my ThinkPads the phone acts like an external hard disk.

An expensive hard disk. ;) But sometimes we need these nice little gadgets.

I run Linux as operating system (Xubuntu) on my ThinkPads. As usual there no additional drivers needed.

The SDXC card came formatted in "exfat". Never heard of exfat before. Probably some strange Microsoft idea.

On Android we should use ext4. I tried this, but then the card isn't recognized. ;-(

To read / write this on Linux you will have to install exfat-utils and exfat-fuse.

On Ubuntu (Debian) it is just : sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse

and you are done.

I have a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) with the latest WW firmware (2.20.40.97) which is obviously causing trouble with my phone. I want to revert back to the older firmware version (2.20.40.90 or even 2.20.40.63).

Is something like that possible on my phone? I've tried every resource that I could find online and nothing seems to work. It's not rooted - it's as is from the shop just with the latest update. I've tried sideloading but that obviously works only when updating firmware not downgrading. I've tried downloading recovery images and using fastboot to flash them but nothing happens.

So I ask again is it possible to downgrade stock firmware and if yes are there reliable tested instructions on how to do it?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
Refer to http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 and follow the steps of root method 1 (pre-rooted image) to flash boot, droidboot and recovery images for the firmware version you want to revert to. However, DON'T download and flash the pre-rooted system image. Instead download the full firmware zip from ASUS, rename it as MOFD_SDUPDATE and place it on your external SD card. Erase your data and then boot back into the bootloader and then recovery mode. It should then install the firmware from your SD card.
