Hi,

Saw a lot of fascinating post on touch-flo & getting really interested to upgrade if possible.Just want to find out if Gsmart phones are able to get the touch-flo support just like any of the PDAs like wizard cos i did saw one of the guys in the forum using the wizard rom upgrade to make it possible.

Just checking if anyone can share the good rom or anyone had any experience for the Gmart upgrade for touch-flo?or if even better .cab files for it? thank you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] symbiiote:
I know there are a lot of people like me, Who have unlocked Sprint Galaxy s6 Edge and we are in a limbo. Yeah we can use any of the sprint roms and everything should work. However it requires a lot of setup and removal of all the sprint apps and activation app before we can use the phone without problem. Is it possible the amazing devs could make a rom for the SM-G925P for us T-mobile users? I would love to help in any way i can.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
I'm currently on T-mobile but will be switching to Fi in a week or two when my SIM gets delivered. Is it safe to update to 6.0 now while still on T-mobile or should I wait till I'm on Fi before doing the 6.0 update?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdice:
My Guess

My Guess would be you are ok to update now because they both use the same build "MRA58K"

Google Fi uses MRA58K

T-Mobile uses MRA58K

Other than some new battery saving and on tap if you are on 5.1 or higher you could probably wait two weeks. Up to you. I just finished doing it for my Nexus 6 on Verizon with the same build and had no issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
jdice is correct. It will all be the same build. But be aware that there are issues reported by Fi users who have flashed to the MRA58K build, notably the loss of Band 12 data connectivity. Prognosis unknown.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagarde:
From what I've seen/heard, flashing to MRA58K is fine on Fi, just keep the radio at the previous version. I'm running MRA58K on Fi with band 12. You can flash the MRA58K radio, but it does drop the band 12.

This is apparently not a bug. It's intended due to some regulatory hoopla on band 12.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
What is the advantage to keeping a radio that uses band 12?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdice:
Might be better to do some googling on band 12. Seems like t-mobile needs it. Seems like the new Nexus 5x and 6p dont support it either.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhizzat:
www.androidpolice.com/2015/08/26/wh...2-lte-support-from-some-unlocked-smartphones/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagarde:
Band 12 pushes farther into buildings and allows data while on voice when using T-mobile, or at least that's what I keep getting told.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
This is what I found as well. I also found that it could possibly cause problems when making a band 12 LTE call to a land line and the call may not complete. The articles I found mentioning this issue say it's most likely to happen when trying to reach 911 when calling from your cell phone.

I haven't noticed a coverage issue in my area when using my Nexus 5 which doesn't support band 12 so I may go ahead with the update whenever it's pushed to my N6. Worst case if I notice a coverage issue I can put the different radio file back on it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeroPy:
Hi,

tl;dr:

Is there a theoretic way to recover data from the phone after:

1. deleting /storage folder

2. and then rooting (which means factory reset?)

If there is a theoretic way to recover it from the bits, is there a way to take a snapshot of the current state of the bit, so I can (in theory) recover the media in the future?

Long version:

First of all I know I'm very stupid..

Yesterday I've deleted my /storage folder since in first glance it looked empty.

Then I figured out what did I do, so I tried to recover the information.

I've searched the web for an application that does that and I found one that required rooting the phone, so I rooted the phone which means I made factory reset.

Then I tried to recover but it didn't manage to recover the photos and videos.. (it did recover whatsapp photos and some other things but not from the dcim folder).

I tried then several different applications that may not ask for rooting the phone so maybe I made a mistake by doing that (not sure that they wouldn't request for rooting either) but no success with that...

I'm willing to pay money to save that data but do you think it's not recoverable anymore?

I also called the 3 biggest recovery companies in my country, 2 of them told me that they don't think it's possible and one agreed to take it to their labs for a small price and then give me an offer.

If there is a theoretic way to recover it from the bits, is there a way to take a snapshot of the current state of the bit, so I can (in theory) recover the media in the future?

I'm very desperate and would be very thankful for your help :)

After few weeks of working on that, I didn't make it to recover any of my photos/videos/whatsapp chat history (the things that were most important to me)

I tried several stuff, apperently all of the recovery programs that using the adb to directly connect to the phone through the PC doesn't work well enough, as well as the programs that works from the device...

I tried this article:

http://www.dflund.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/

but it didn't work for some reason...

Then I tried that one :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

I used a centos VM to get a image of the device partiotns the way they suggested (I couldn't make the busybox work).

I mapped that file as hard disk

I tried to use 'Recuva' it seems like it managed to restore files but something apperantly went wrong and the files wasn't helpful...

I tried to use 'easeus data recovery' it worked better, it found around 20k files.. There were alot of directories and I didn't look up at it so much but it recoverd alot of photos which I think were from the whatsapp media.

Incase someone who made the same mistake by deleting the 'storage' folder, get to this post, I recommend to turn off the phone immidietly and find a way to do that without rooting the device.. (although it might be impossible since as far as I know all of the methods I used were depends on a rooted device, but I didn't look up on this since the first thing I done is to root my device - which might be the mistake)...
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Koohara947:
So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] DJBoxer:
Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .

other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
Im more than sure that I can help you fix it. Metro or tmobile? Kernal? Any previous roms installed? You didnt delete your os but odin will work ill give you a working version and instructions but what version?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Koohara947:
Thank you for your response I have already fixed it by installing the stock rom and recovery then rooting it again. Thank you for your help though :D

Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. :( I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!

Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.

sgh-399n bootloop

It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] DJBoxer:
What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...

also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?

If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Fidelacho16:
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.

Ok try this version of odin 3.0.7 which i added as attachment also i linked my firmware OH3 as you stated your device is t399n i know sammobile takes long to download so this may be faster for you Link HERE

as stated previously make sure only thing selected is Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time and add tar file into PDA.

I await your reply if fails i send you adb fastboot etc may be able to grab some logs see whats happening ;)

[Networking] jwy2k2:
Anybody know a way to get a Sandisk Connectplus +128 wifi CF card to work with WM5 ? Drivers for WM2003 are available from Sandisk but that's all. Some of the Linux users have gotten theirs to work with Prism 3 drivers, but it didn't work for me. I've got an ipaq hx4700 with onboard wifi. I have the card leftover from an older ipaq and would like to try to make an external antenna for it rather than messing with the onboard wifi. Thanks for any help.
[Networking] ultraprimeomega:
This forum is for HTC manufactured devices but have you tried the 2003 drivers maybe they will work
[Networking] jwy2k2:
Sorry, I thought this device was made by HTC because there's alot of posts about it on another thread. Anyway, I wasn't able to get it to work with the 2003 Sandisk drivers or with some HTC customized Prism drivers from another site. The card doesn't show up at all, not even a message like "unrecognized card" (the 128MB of built in flash on the card are available however)

I may be doing something wrong, my knowledge of these things is very limited. I removed the ipaq wireless manager shortcut .lnk file from the startup folder and made sure the onboard wifi was not active but, maybe other registry changes need to be made as well.?

BTW, out of curiosity I thought I would take a peek at the onboard wifi internals. Fairly simple removing the 4 screws and popping off the plastic corner antenna cover. I noticed what looks like a connector of some kind in the wifi area: not on the wifi daughterboard but just next to it. I don't know what it is, testing connector? JTAG? or maybe antenna? I'm not about to mess with my internal wifi hardware without knowing what the hell I'm doing but maybe others would be interested. Googleing about external wifi connector hacks on PDAs I only find one guy that did it with his Axim.
[Networking] ultraprimeomega:
can you post a pic maybe i can help you with this more then the drivers
[Networking] jwy2k2:
I'll try to post a pic later.

Meanwhile I haven't totally given up on this old card. I tried installing the official Sandisk 2003 drivers again and managed to get the ipaq to "see it"' but it won't connect: the LED on the card blinks but there are no networks being detected where there should be.

BTW, for any HTC owners, here's the link to the custom Sandisk drivers I tried earlier. Probably ancient for most but might help someone.

http://www.damnsoft.org/cgi-bin/ghostgui.cgi?nographics=;app=projects;section=sandisk
[Networking] ultraprimeomega:
maybe its a typo but its not HPC its HTC (High Tech Computer Corp. and is the name of the manufacture) but maybe he meant Handheld PC (came before pocket pc look at link). So the drivers are i think even before WM2002.(thats cool that they are still around maybe all these forums will still be around in ten years or more)

and he edited the drivers so that the would work on a old device, dont see that, that much

i tried to do hard reset and even now the is no update

i cant update manually beacuse i cant understant how to do it

please help me
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdice:
You're not alone

To get the builds go to http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493

Your build is at the very bottom, if you are wanting to do the OTA updates.

You will need to follow the path up on the builds so

LRX21O from LNX07M

LRX22C from LRX21O

LMY47D from LRX22C

and so on...

But the key to this is how to apply the updates...

Goto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfDSZsr6230 and watch that video. You will need the Nexus Root toolkit from wugfresh.com

It shows you how to sideload the files one by one. I was also stuck with no OTAs from verizon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofdavid:
So I may have already goofed. I bought a Project Fi Nexus 6 and want to use it on Verizon now. I don't remember what build I was originally on but last night when tooling around, I have gone to LRX22C from whatever I had before. I thought I would be able to get OTAs on my unrooted/relocked phone but everytime I check for one - nothing happens, it says my phone is up to date but clearly it isn't as LRX22C isn't even 5.1.

Do I have to follow the path using WUGfresh or can I just jump clear up to the universal Marshmallow build and be okay?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdice:
If you are on verizon, I could not get any OTA's to work and I was on LMY47E.

If you want to go to MRA58K then I would follow the chain. Else you will probably have to wipe all data on you phone.

LRX22C is One step below LMY47E for Verizon.

I did a whole post on how I got it up to MRA58K over here

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhizzat:
Skip the OTAs. Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata. Voila! You're on Marshmallow with all of your data saved.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryklon:
Well, no one told me that I had to do all those shananigans to cover for Googles crap...

Ill probably just return the damn phone and get an iphone... at least the updates there are really like they should, not this crap, this false advertising Nexus devices are updated fast and automatically...

Also, let me talk to my clients, the ones that also bought nexus 6 from the store where I work, some of them with 50, 60+ years, and tell them they have to Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata... I guess they aill all be thrilled at how easy the process is when compared to other phones...

Really guys, get a grip for god sake, not everyone wants to be bothered by such things.

Also, this posts are here to bring attention to a situation happening to alot of people, which is updates not available as OTA on phones, even old updates. If any of us wanted to sideload it or flash it we would have done it already since there 10000's of posts explaning it right... I wouldnt actually need for "nhizzat" to explain it to me!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhizzat:
That's not something you have to do, it's an option. It's also one of the reasons we buy a Nexus, to be able to update manually instead of waiting.

If it's not something you're interested in doing, keep waiting. Or return the phone and enjoy your iPhone. I, for one, don't care if you do nor if you convince your 50+ clients to do the same.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
I thought you've bought a more than a year old phone because it was cheap, but still had good specs. Amiright?

So if it sat on a shelf for more than a year, why should it have the latest software? Also why should anybody care that it's not the month old Marshmallow on it? Go and complain on iPhone-not-developers that you can't install iOS9 on a 3G.

This is XDA developers and not the Google support hotline. Here people give you solutions for free, too bad that it's above your skills to try it yourself, but then at least don't be rude to those who try to help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryklon:
You could at least read the damn thread no? The OP said its not getting the old 5.1. update... he mentioned 6.0 but he said he is still on 5.0

I know for a fact that update 5.1.1 is more than available but he is stuck on 5.0.... get it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
I did read it. And I didn't understand your anger then, I don't get it now either.

To a 50, 60+ user as you said it, it really doesn't matter if it's 5.0 or 5.1 or 6.0. It matters to you. And if you can't flash it yourself, then take it to a GSM shop, they'll do it for you. Perhaps they'll look at you funny if you say you read about it here.

As for the OTAs, instead of ranting here, you should ask Google support if it's something wrong with their servers.

Edit: I've bought mine cca two montha ago, and itcame with 5.1, and I've got an OTA immediately. Maybe there's something wrong with the updates from 5.0. A lot of people have bought N6s now because of the great price, maybe they'll notice the bug and fix it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Great, you found your new love. Bye.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
So I've used Googled a bit (pun intended), and found out that there was some hickups with the n6 and n9 OTAs to 5.1.1, so probably if your device doesn't show updates it's intentional.

OTAs only want to install if your device only has genuine factory contents. So the the update checks everything from recovery to system, and if all checksums match they apply the update. However, sometimes the update died mid update, and from then on either the phone didn't start, or it did, but remained mostly unchanged, but since some files were replaced refused to update.

So I say patience, it's possible the OTAs will be available when they fix this. But for those who came here to XDA to learn, it's easy to do it manually.
