[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
That's incorrect even if you trip your knox counter you can still receive otas, your phone has to be fully stock however to receive the otas. If you go to settings about and software information your device status should be 'official'. Another way to check is to boot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power button) and check if all the system are official. If they are then you are good to go.

OTAs are usually released in waves so that might be the problem.

Anyhow you can manually update your phone using Odin.

Download this firmware file : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56036/N910FXXU1COI1_N910FVFG1COH5_CYV/

Then extract it and put your phone in download mode and connect it to your PC then run Odin as admin. (Make sure Kies is uninstalled)

Put the file in PDA and flash the firmware to your device.

Thank you for your time. Appreciate it!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake_A:
First of all thank you for your time!

Device Status in Settings -> About is Official.

So, how can I make sure that this is the right Firmware to flash (as the phone was bought from Cyprus 2nd hand, and Im not sure if the other guy bought it from an other country in Europe) ?

Moreover, If i manually install the firmware file, as you stated, do I need to root the phone or something ? Or the device will be 100% official (its just that you install the update through the pc instead of OTA )?

It seems to be taking too long for the OTA, and that's why I was worried.

Thank you again!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
The firmware is fully stock, untouched.

You do not need to be rooted to flash the firmware.

You can install this app on your phone and check your CSC
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake_A:
So This is what I get:

I suppose it is a Greek version. So, which firmware shall i download ? (There are 3 different firmwares : Greece, Greece Cosmote, Greece Vodafone. Greece has no 5.1.1 version only the latter two have.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Might I ask are you in the UK (Your current operator) If so you can attempt to flash the UK firmware.

If however you are living in Greece then you could flash one of the Greece firmwares and then flash a stock ROM (It will require a custom recovery, tripping KNOX counter) without the bloat.

The choice comes down to you, another last resort if you don't want to trip KNOX would be to flash a neighbouring country's firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake_A:
Basically I am from Cyprus but I'm currently studying in the UK. So what's the difference between the various firmwares ? I thought that only the one that is the same as the country you bought the phone is compatible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Different country firmware can be flashed only sometimes it fails (nothing to worry about) in that case you might have re-package the firmware. Meaning you put the CSC from your country into the firmware.

Anyhow I would you to flash this firmware via Odin:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58473/N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FOXA1COJ3_DBT/

After downloading the firmware extract the file inside (using WinRar or equivalent)

A factory reset might be required to back-up everything from your phone as the internal storage will be wiped.

Uninstall Samsung Kies, install these USB drivers: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347849220

Download Odin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347836222

Power down your phone, hold volume down key + Home key and power on the device. Press volume up to continue when promoted.

Connect your phone to your PC via USB.

Run Odin as admin and and put the extracted firmware file in AP and press start.

The phone should now reboot, let it do it's thing. If after around 10 minutes it's still at the Samsung screen.

Power off the device hold volume up + home + Power the device on and using the volume keys select wipe data and cache, then reboot.

Good luck, as always I must give the disclaimer that anything you do with your device is your responsibility.

Hello everyone I recently bought the budget smartphone wich is not actually that bad :D I also rooted it with a pre-rooted stock rom but it actually is the original touchwiz wich is ........ well touchwiz it gets slow after a week of using the phone I also installed TWRP on it wich works perfect. I also found alot of links on google claiming that they got a custom rom for the j100h (btw yeah this is the model i own) especially lollipop but all the links i found use surveys and they say that there is no survey available for your country (I live in Europe Kosova to be exact) if they are real could somebody please make a mirror or send me it (somehow), but I got the GenNxt pre-rooted stock if it helps I do not think that there are any custom roms for this device (not yet) I saw that the creator of the TWRP for the j1 said that he is building one (cm12 to be exact) but I do not think that he would be able to create it ( maybe he can I hope he can) if anyone could create a custom rom for this device I would be happy if it would be cm12 (lollipop) I just need to get rid of touchwiz it's way to laggy (I do not have any experience building roms (if it helps to know).

[Blu Pure XL] DannyHammons:
When I saw that the specs of the Pure XL said that it supported cards up to 64 GB, I suspected that Blu went with a file format for the MicroSD slot other than the "standard" exFat (which requires a license from Microsoft to use.)

I tried several cards, 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, and 200 GB. None of them worked initially. So, I ended up leaving the 32 GB in and went about exploring the features of the phone. A while later, I got a pop-up message that the card was ready to use. Sure enough, it was added as sdcard1 in the file system. I then checked the file format (since it reformatted the card), and found that they are using Fat32 (which doesn't require a license.) After a little research, I found that Fat32 supports up to 2 TB, just like exFat, only with a little more overhead. At any rate, I thought there was hope for my 200 GB SanDisk MicroSD card. I put it in. The phone did not see it, and reported that there was no card inserted. I went about exploring the phone features and forgot about the card being inserted.

This afternoon, 16 or so hours later, I got a pop-up saying that the SD Card needed to be formatted before it could be used. I selected format, and within a minute, it was showing up as sdcard1 with 183 GB free space.

I'm a bit weary of why the phone seems to take hours to decide if it's going to work with a given MicroSD card, but here's to hoping that my 200 GB continues to work!
[Blu Pure XL] BusySignal:
That's good to know! I wonder if it could instantly recognize the card if you pre-formatted it as FAT32 on a PC first.
[Blu Pure XL] DannyHammons:
Pretty sure I tried....

BTW, it didn't recognize any of the cards I put in it (or told me they weren't compatible.) I have no idea why it decided to format my 200 GB card today (after being inserted for 12 hours), but I'm not complaining!

I'm considering it because I might receive one as compensation for a debt (long story, lol). I'm also looking at the Case-Mate Tough Case (black) for it. I like the fact that the Maxx 2 doesn't have a Verizon logo on the front and the back can be switched out for a Moto X Play cover. I know the bootloader situation will take time (6-12 months) but I'm in no hurry because I have my trusty Skyrocket running smoothly on Tipsy OS LP 5.1.1 for the time being. :D
[Droid Maxx 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el6006:
I just picked one up yesterday. I was trying to unload an Moto X 2013 on swappa and no one was biting. This was just my backup phone. Verizon trade in offered me $300 for it by purchasing the Maxx 2. I took it. Now I have a newer backup phone and I got twice what I was trying to sell my Moto X for. Sounds good to me. So far it a very nice mid ranger. I like the feel in the hand. It's performing just fine. Haven't had it long enough to gauge battery life yet but no doubt it will be better than my Galaxy S6.

Also noticed it's StageFright vulnerable out the box. No updates available yet. Hope Motorola doesn't decide not to update this phone like it decided on with the 2014 Moto X.

There's an option in Dev settings that says Allow OEM Unlocking Allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Don't know if that would allow for root soon on this phone.
[Droid Maxx 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave157:
That setting option sounds promising. Maybe this will catch the attention of the devs and help spur development of this phone.

Can you please confirm that it would work on other networks including international networks out of the box?

Thank you for testing this out. So this phone is similar to all the other Verizon LTE phones; LTE works on band 4 for both AT&T and T-Mobile. Not widely used yet, but refarmed in certain areas.

2G(EDGE) and 3G shouldn't been an issue. Even HSPA+ might work.

Here are the frequencies for MAXX 2.

XT1565: VZW

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)

CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)

4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20)

AT&T

3G : GSM 1900, 850

4G : 2, 4, 17

T-Mobile

3G : 1900, 1700/2100

4G : 2, 4, 12
[Droid Maxx 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolics:
so no 4g band 3 1800Mhz, right?
[Droid Maxx 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edjocute:
According to the Motorola product page:

Bands (by model)

XT1565: VZW

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)

CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)

4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20)

So it should have LTE Band 3/7 support for international use.

i can go into fastboot, but when i choose anything it just goes back to that message, except when i choose recovery: in this case it goes to the TEAMWIN screen and is stuck there. can't go into the options.

when i connect it to my pc it says error 43 and fastboot doesn't recognize it.

Great tip. Got tasker set to Nova pinch out to turn off. But also have option to run task from Notification menu as well.

For those who have never used tasker before like me here is a quick note on how to set it up:

Select TASKS tab at top, select + button at bottom, give it a name (screen off) and press check mark.

You will then enter Task Edit. Press + to add an action, then select Code as your action category, then choose Run Shell.

Paste in the text: 'input keyevent 26' under the Command field. Check the Use Root option. Back out once and choose an icon for it if you want at the right lower corner. You can now place a widget for the task or launch the task with Nova etc. And/or go into Preferences and under the Monitor tab you can add it to the Notification Action Buttons.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pumpino:
Thanks for this detailed description. I've never used Tasker before either, so I'll give it a try. It's a shame such a step is required.

How was it determined that "input keyevent 26" would solve the problem? Will doing this interfere with OTA updates, since it may change a system setting?

Can I use Soft Lock Screen to turn the screen off?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solara1973:
There's a known list of Android commands that software can use to simulate some hardware presses, etc.: http://thecodeartist.blogspot.com/2011/03/simulating-keyevents-on-android-device.html

Tasker or using the keyevent 26 will not interfere with the system in any way. By sending the keyevent 26 you are doing exactly what pressing the Power button does - only with software. It does nothing to change any system settings. Not sure about the Soft Lock Screen app, but I suspect that like other software, if you use that, you will prob need to re-enter your password/pattern/pin and the fingerprint won't work. By sending the keyevent 26, you can still unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.
