Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Sounds like the option pressed by mistake was along the lines of "format system". Hopefully when you say you "have the stock rom" you mean you have a copy of the firmware. Because the stock ROM on the device probably is not any more.

I don't know if this Samsung clone would have download mode. Can try holding in both volume buttons and connecting the device to a PC while it is powered off. That should give you something other than what you are currently getting. What to do from there, well, you may need to get the files from HDC.

I would try this thread, since I cannot find any S6's with that chipset number:

> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] HDC S5 G900F Clone MTK 6582 QuadCore

...particularly this post.

Any questions can go in this thread as well.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

I use the NegaLite Rom, which has lots of install options to overclock, select or no bloatware, some nice aftermarket apps and comes with tuners and customization tools that allows you to change many aspects of the OS. Plus I like the Blue/Black look. The 3D camera also works, which is good.

I've been using this Rom for over 3 years and just added it to another Evo 3D and have had no problems. S-OFF is not required.

Anybody else have an issue with a grainy picture when shooting 240fps? Is this normal? Maybe it's because the lighting isn't bright enough? I'll upload a sample later! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
Yea, if you check the reviews, they mention that slow motion video in low light makes it grainy.

They actually say, in order for slow motion to work well, you need very good lighting.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel D.:
I know, there are plenty of topics for this error, but I didn't found a solution.

I tried the following...

- repair option in PC Companion --> error 2003 (even if I could repair the unlocked phone few weeks ago)

- FlashTool (newest version) stops with this error:

I can flash new kernels (Lupus & CM12.1 kernel), but if I want to go back to the .587 ROM, I can't flash them through FlashTool. Any idea? Bricked?

I always connected the phone after the popup which told me to do so. I also installed all the drivers - the phone is recognized in flash & fastboot mode (using Windows 7).

It worked! Note that Avast thinks that these versions of Flashtool are infected with some malware. Avoid that somehow
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invertedskull:
I can confirm this worked for me too. I was in the same situation.

My buddy in Canada mailed me his 2011 Xperia Arc as he wanted me to gain root on it. I did that, then unlocked the bootloader (this was carrier branded to Rogers). I had to go the long route for the BL unlocking (the whole "install this program, buy these credits, touch terminals under a panel with a paperclip, etc"). Then I installed CWM Recovery, then installed CyanogenMod 10, Android 4.1.2, but it was buggy as hell and was randomly rebooting. So I decided to try some new ROMs, hopefully more stable. BUT all the ones I wanted required I flash build 4.1.B.0.587 first. So I got the FTF build file needed, got Flash Tool 0.9.19.8, but kept getting the exact same error message, "ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." So I tried Sony's Flash Tool, Emma. Then that told me the phone had a locked BL! WTF! I double checked, and that was not true. So then I tried Sony's PC Companion, and their server went down RIGHT after I started getting somewhere... FFUUUUUU!!! So then I found this thread... Got Flash Tool 0.9.18.6, got it all prepped to go (FTF file, drivers, etc), and fired it off... FAILED again. Tried again, this time with phone plugged in from the GET GO and NOT from when Flash Tool tells me to. And guess what, I was able to flash this stock ROM WITHOUT the phone actually being in Flashmode. LOL! What I mean is, when Flash Tool prompted me to hold Back and then plug in the phone, the phone was already plugged in... then BAM, it started working!

Either way, I'm now happy cos I can try out some more stable ROMs. :D

I hope anyone else in that situation finds this and gets some joy too.

Thanks for all the answers. I ended up installing Legacy Xperia CM 12.1. The only system beside .587 which has an acceptable speed on my Arc S - and up to date!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicboom81:
I rooted my N9005 yesterday and have tried a number of roms, such as the roms taken from Note 5 / S6 Edge (Norma, DarkLord roms 5.0 and 5.1). I've also just tried a custom rom taken from official Note 3 Lollipop firmware.

All have the following issue : Netflix will not play any video - it keeps saying loading. BBC I player's video is choppy and out of sync. Youtubes 720p 60fps pauses frequently and 1080p 60fps freezes the video completely (not audio).

I've flashed back a KitKat custom rom and the video problems are gone.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong. I'm guessing it makes no difference but it's a Vodafone Australia handset that I'm using in the UK with EE (using the UK country code when installing rom).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Did you flash the Lollipop ROM freshly? I mean after a complete wipe?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicboom81:
I've used Team Win Recovery Project and each time completely wiped the phone each time. The Kitkat rom I used without problem was the Alliance rom. I am just about to try and flash a Lollipop 5.0 rom from Alliance - not sure if the same problem will be there.

[edit] Exactly the same issue using the Alliance 5.0 rom... choppy iPlayer not in sync, and continuously loading on Netflix.

I'll put it back to Alliance rom for 4.4 for now. Can't live without Netflix!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicboom81:
Other things I've tried:

Installing the 5.0/5.1 roms using CWM rather than TWRP doesn't solve the video issue. (CWM Aroma Installer fails to start, so been using TWRP on roms that use Aroma).

Neither does clearing caches through recovery.

Neither does enabling/disabling NU player/Awesome Player in developer settings.

On Alliance 5.0 rom I found liboemcrypto.so in system/vendor/lib, deleted it, cleared cache in recovery/rebooted, no difference.

On DarkLord N5 rom I deleted liboemcrypto.so.bak I think it was called, which I found in system/vendor/lib/ (which i think is the backup file).. liboemcrypto.so wasn't there to delete in the DarkLoard N5 rom and there was no file in system/lib like that. It didn't make a difference.

Could it have anything to do with it being an Australian handset, anything to do with the modem or some video kodex/player thing not getting updated/flashed properly. I'm just making stuff up now.
[Wear OS General] FlickKey:
Just letting everyone know that FlickKey Keyboard for Wear was recently launched. It is the first independent keyboard for Android Wear. It is also the only fast and accurate keyboard for smartwatches - it does not need to rely heavily on disambiguation and autocorrection to work well.

FlickKey also does not need to be side-loaded. Just download it to try it. To send a message though, you need a supporting app. FlickKey for Wear is currently supported by three of the top messaging apps: Wear Messenger, Coffee - SMS for Wear, and K-9 for Wear. It is also free and simple to add FlickKey to any Wear app with just a few simple lines of code. (Email the support address for the code)

If you have not seen it, FlickKey solves the problem of typing on smartwatches through 6 "flick-able" keys. Just press and flick in the direction of an outside character. It works great on all touch screens - no special keyboard required for round watches. FlickKey also gives users multiple lines of editable text for a great messaging experience. Further, if you use voice input through FlickKey, you can edit, append, or add punctuation to the results - which is real nice.

Just search Google Play for "FlickKey Keyboard for Wear" if you would like to check it out, or add it to your app.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taghack:
Ok, I just received the N910FXXU1COJ3 OTA on my DBT N-910F with all the security updates. Great, but I did notice that the conveniet app manager feature that killed background processes inside Smart Manager is now gone and from the looks of things, there is a new "alternative" ambiguously called App optimization, within the battery section.

Now I for one am getting pretty tired of this inconsistency and constant feature swapping and come here seeking information. Can anyone actually clear things up for me and explain what exactly App optimization means. Will it simply kill the apps background services and if so, why is the minimum timeout 3 days? I also heard that it is more like a disable fuature for the selected apps, meaning no activity whatsoever, like notifications.

Is there any way that i can make use of the convenient "garbage collection" that Smart Manager used to offer, or am I hopelessly stuck dealing with Samsung`s ADD?

When I bought the pro version; a message appeared explaining to disable app optimazation for the app so it continuously works. Is this right? And I'm just dealing with an app problem or I'm I not using this feature properly. I want my call recorder to always be working. bengaertner8@gmail.com.

Hi

This is the first time I will be trying out a custom rom. Basically I would have just tried rooting stock rom but I want to go a little further. So I have picked cynanogen mod jellybean based rom.

I found the instructions here

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mango

So before I start there are few questions I have which I would like some help with.

1. The last step of installing from zip says to use Cwm if using cm 11 and using cyanogenmod recovery if using cm 12 or newer. But the latest stable is 9.1.0 so what method to use ?

2. Does kernel mean boot.img?

3. Will I ever be able to get back to stock if I wish in future ?

4. I am currently on stock 4.0.4 is that good enough to start unlocking bootloader and flashing cm 9.1.0

5. What other issues can I expect ?

6. Should I wipe dalvik , user data and all that before I start with the zip ?

Apologies if some questions are stupid

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
[MENTION=4946604]rajdeeprath[/MENTION]

6.) Yes.

4.)To install CyanogenMod or to flash any kernel ,you will need to unlock bootloader.

2.)Yes. boot.img = kernel.

1.) The recovery is in the boot.img so ignore that instruction

3.) You can just go back to stock ROM by flashing FTF.

5.) Yes you will. Check Bugs and issues in relevant thread for details.
