Hi.

dev: d820n Europe

Had rooted lp with twrp but wanted to go back to stock.

Dl this

http://xdaforums.com/desire-820/general/recovery-stock-recovery-lollipop-5-0-1-t3236989

and now i only can boot to recovery, but twrp. can't boot normal, or bootloader.

Tried to reinstall boot from backed up KK but still nothing...

boots when connected to pc and vol up + power boots recovery (managed to install twrp2.8 XianShiDeNiWo)

boots vol up + power 8 sec+ to recovery.

all those still reboots to recovery

Any ideas what can I do?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shake1963:
Today i did something very silly and used the Asus Flash tool to flash what i thought was the correct raw image for my ZE551ML (to try and re-lock the bootloader), it turned out that I in fact flashed the ZE550ML raw file by mistake !!! Upside is that the only difference i saw was the change in screen resolution and no harm seems to have been done to my phone.

I have now found a ZE551ML raw file and flashed that to my device and it seems to have worked and re-locked the bootloader.

The boot screen is now black again, but is there any other way to test or find out if it is indeed re-locked?

Try to flash TWRP
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shake1963:
Installed temporarily, should i get an error or should it refuse to flash?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajlko:
any custom recovery can not be flashed if bootloader is lock.

recovery was installed means bootloader is unlocked.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azthemansays:
But he said it was temporary... I assume he means it went back to stock after the second reboot?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shake1963:
Yes, back to stock after second boot...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wutr:
You can run a tethered TWRP without unlocking.

That was likely the "tethered" recovery then. Try the untethered, but of course skip the part where you unlock the bootloader. In short:

reboot into bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

reboot into recovery (press volume down twice until "Reboot recovery" shows up, then press power button)

If that boots into TWRP I suppose the bootloader is still unlocked. It may not be the easiest, but it should give you an answer.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shake1963:
Seems bootloader is still unlocked.... TWRP untethered stuck so back to the drawing board lol..

I would love to know what the process for unlocking does when the terminal commands are processed. I have a spare ZF2 with a broken screen that I can experiment with so no great loss if I trash it...

Any recommendations for reading... or do I need to maybe learn a bit of code?

I saw a method on here somewhere where a couple of files are flashed from the ifwi.zip file found in stock rom (I think that is a method used in another zenfone variant .... The 5 or 4.) which re locks the bootloader.

Doesn't work on the ZF2 though....

Hello,

I have a big problem: I forgot my unlock pattern and I don't have my device in ADM :crying:

But the bootloader is unlocked, so I think I can install any image I want, right? Could this be a way to get into my device?

So does somebody know a solution to unlock my device without doing a hard reset? Would be great if you can help me!

Best regards from Germany

If you try a bunch of times it should eventually let you log in with your Google account and password
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tagtag123:
Withthe bootloader unlocked you can flash ROMs, Recoveries, etc.

1. Install TWRP.

2. Boot to TWRP.

3. Connect the phone to PC and copy Camera images, videos and any other file you desire from the internal storage.

4. Install the desired android version's factory image and copy the data back to the phone.

Or you can try this:

1. Install TWRP

2. Take a nandroid backup

3. Now flash boot to recovery and copy the necessary data and the TWRP nandroid backup to PC

4. Flash a factory image.

5. Boot phone normally.

6. Login to google account.

7. Add device to ADM.

8. Install TWRP.

9. Copy the TWRP backup and and restore the backup.

10. Try ADM now.

This may also work and is pretty easy to try.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Its crazy, I dont get any recovery options even after trying the pattern unlock for over 40 times now.

Even ADM wouldn't work for devices without a data connection.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockThatBodyGER:
Or just do it wrong a couple of times and then you should be presented with a google login screen to unlock your phone again.

This was the best solution, after I backup all my data, I reset the phone and the lock was gone :)

Glad (not) I'm not the only one. This is driving me mad. From time to time I have to make long calls and rely on talking while charging.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnT_:
Not getting this issue. However, maybe you guys are on Android N? I know plenty of people who have the Nexus 6P and none of them have mentioned this issue.

How about a clean flash of your rom?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wezman2k:
It most definitely has something to do with the charger and/or the outlet.

I think I'm going to pay closer attention and see if it only occurs during rapid charge. Pretty sure the rapid charge is at play. I run PureNexus, which is very close to stock Marshmallow, and it has been clean flashed since I discovered this issue.

edit:. Ok... maybe not. happens on my battery as well. lol.

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fartflower:
hey guys,

is anyone else having problems sending and recieving MMS's on custom roms?

i have tried the latest: Cyanogenmod, TeamRadium, XenonHD, Ivans rom and probably one other one, along with at least two different kernals. Every single one exhibits the same problem. the very very first MMS you send or recieve is sent or downloaded fine. After that MMS's cannot be sent or downloaded, it just says "recieving" or "sending" forever.

The MIUI 7.0.5.0 rom works fine, can send or recieve as many as i want, but personally its a garbage rom, especially compared to the brilliant roms some people bring out on here.

if when on a custom rom, i do a factory reset in CWM, i can send or recieve one MMS, then it stops working again. This happens regardless of whether i wait a day to send it and if i have had my data on all day.

Ive done all the obvious. Check APN/type in my own and reset. Make sure wifi is off and data is on. tried 2G instead of 3G. Tried a new sim card. tried my sim in a friends mobile (works fine).

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholsonr:
Hi Guys,

A weird one here for you, I'm already contemplating throwing my phone at a wall that's how long I've been trying to fix it.

I have a LG G3 D855 Gold 32gb model purchased via Kogan in Australia.

The unit is now on Android 5.0 (no updates available for 5.1+) - Software Version V20i-SEA-XX with Build number LRX21R.A1440645925.

This phone is non-rooted with stock ROM etc.

So the issue at hand, I upgraded my Win7 PC via the upgrade option to Win10 to retain my games/files etc.

Now when connecting the phone to the PC it only goes to charging mode and I am unable to click on it within the drop-down to change it to anything else.

I have tried LG G3 drivers, Googles generic drivers, ADB suite drivers. I am unable to adb find the phone, I do not have an Acer Composite device in Device Manager.

Win 10 keeps saying the device is not recognised/malfunctioned.

Tried different cords, double checked the connector on the phone for any dust specs etc.

My PC refuses to work with any driver I have thrown at it, however in each scenario with various drivers, warnings still persist in Device Manager.

Some of the drivers force the phone to connect/reconnect and cause the "ping" sound each time it disconnects and reconnects (with malfunction warning prompts).

This is on Win10 with 64bit Home edition.

I am at my wits end and can't think of anything I haven't tried beyond a factory reset of my phone (hoping not to at this stage as I'm thinking it's driver-related).

It won't let me tether or anything via USB also, same goes with USB debugging, no change.

Lastly which may also help narrow it down, with the phone plugged in BEFORE it gets to the OS, I can change between PTP/MTP and USB charge, however once the Win10 OS loads up, it disconnects/malfunctions and lists Charge Only.

And yes, this phone can connect on my Win7 small PC which I use for testing crap out on.

Any ideas guys?

Let me know if any log files or anything is required.

At this stage I am unable to do a root to the phone (due to adb issues etc) nor can I connect to the internal phone system unless I use in the in-built file explorer.

Edit: *SOLVED*

Ok so turns out the issue is, and this is just my case, my motherboard has various utilities, one of which is a USB 3.0 boost option.

When I did an upgrade to Windows 10, it somehow screwed up various programs on my PC including registry etc.

I reinstalled the particular utility (I was actually trying to fix my graphics clock etc so happy coincidence) which also re-installs the USB 3.0 Boost software which in turn has fixed my USB Ports.

So if you have a custom built PC (my Motherboard being a Rampage 4 Formula). Check the Mobo Utilities/Drivers for any conflicts.

Using the drivers on that page you have advised gives the following.

Device Manager shows a Warning on it in USB controllers as "LGE Mobile USB Composite Device". It automatically "malfunctions" according to Windows 10 and I can't change the connection interface on the phone.

Going into the properties on that device in Device Manager lists the following;

[General Questions and Answers] Artificial_Intelligence:
Hello everyone,

as you might know in Lollipop the WiFi icon got slimmed just a little bit, which I personally really like. Unfortunately I noticed that on CM this change doesn't seem to be adopted, in version 12, so that only the separators of the different bars were removed from the former KK icon.

For demonstration a few pictures:

Side by side comparison: View attachment 3527029

Overlaid inverted MM AOSP over CM: View attachment 3527030

Overlaid inverted KK AOSP over CM: View attachment 3527031

I know that this is only a fine difference and really nitpicking to complain about it :silly:, but I can't unsee it anymore and I am always distracted by it, which is very annoying :(.

So my question is if anybody knows anything about this oddness, why it exists in the first place and how to maybe "fix" it. I already thought about using a theme, but obviously I didn't find any, that only changes the WiFi icon.

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
Hi, I'm looking at this phone to potentially buy as the phone is the perfect size for me and I really like the look.I owned the z3c and loved it until I dropped it and blew the screen out. After going through an S6 and G4, I sold sold them for various issues with software and the size was still a bit large for my liking. I currently have an iPhone 6S and was surprised how fast it is and the size is really good. BUT, I prefer Android and have a warm spot for the compact line. My concern though as others I'm sure have as well is all of this talk about Sony not properly optimizing the handset and how it lags and stutters while scrolling. Seems unacceptable to release this kind of unfinished product. Seen and read videos and articles about people complaining the same things..so this is no fluke correct? I am very hesitant to buy this phone and would like to know from users their experience with software issues. I want this to be a discussion to help potential buyers like me, and I'm sure there are many concerned as I am about performance based issues before we buy. Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
if there were any kind of lagg in my device, now since latest update it is gone, as phone feels just like Z3C, even better i may say.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
bubimir13

thanks for that. Saw there was a stage fright update but was there some optimization update as well?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] darthbane7:
Yeah, some users posted about faster governor scaling in this firmware. So cpu frequencys are raised more aggressively now.

My device runs a lot smoother with this update. This was the only point that I was unhappy with before the update. It is not as snappy as some other devices I had in my hand but definitely good now. Still some micro stuttering at some occasions but I am very confident that there will be much more improvement soon, especially with Android M update.

Nexus is using the same SoC on their devices, shipped with Android 6 so Sony will benefit from further updates, regarding hardware optimization.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Well, the "stutters" could be removed quite easily.

What Sony did is they decreased the sampling interval of the governor,

this leads to increased responsiveness, however it does not fight the root cause.

The device is not able to operate smoothly at the given freq threshold (960 000 kHz), and decreasing sampling time will not help to resolve this.

What Sony should've done instead is simply leaving the sampling interval and increase the freq thresholds.

I'll soon get my device rooted again and prove that with this change battery-life will not be sacraficed, but the amount of micro-stutters will be noticably reduced.

The SOC has so much potential and power-reserves, this device could perform way better with proper less-conservative tuning.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pocii:
Got the phone on release and was very disappointed with all the lag and stutters. But since the latest update, everything is smooth sailing.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] CollinFX45:
I noticed a huge increase in speed when waking the camera after the update. Phone feels much snappier overall as well. Glad to see Sony doing some better optimizations.

Lag isn't gone for me, but it's substantially better. I think I'm noticing the 2gb of ram too. When streaming music and browsing photos, when I scroll through 20-25 photos the music app crashes. I have repeated this 100% of the time. Could it be running out of ram as I scroll through these high-res photos? Frustrating.
