You didn't wipe any caches or anything did you? You are using a custom recovery/rom from rbox yes? Latest one is 5.0.5 r1 with recovery 3.0.3 I believe (all roms have recovery built in), i tried this on 5.0.4 & 5.0.5 with no problems or no bootloops on the AFTV2. Download the newest 5.0.4 or newest 5.0.5 r1 rom from rbox's prerooted images & check the md5 if needed, install via recovery, reboot out of recovery, once back up & running reboot Into recovery & follow the steps again, I don't know what happened?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Yes sorry it just took a little longer to boot. It worked perfectly fine for me. Using AFTV2 5.0.5r2 with 3.0.3 recovery. Xposed is up and running ok on my box. Thanks again, now to look for some useful modules. If you know of any care to point me in the right direction ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Erm unless rbox has refixed 5.0.5 r2 it has been said not to use this version yet & has pulled it from his downloads! Please check his thread & if needed re do the guide & use 5.0.4 or 5.0.5 r1 (it's recommended you do this because some are having booting issues on 5.0.5 r2)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
I never noticed. When I used his guide I origionally used 5.0.4 and my aftv2 auto updated and wiped over my root so re did the guide with the 5.0.5r2 ( as the only difference was auto block updates from r1) well thanks for the heads up I will re-do the lot and use r1. Do you think its necessary if im not having trouble ? Cheers
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Well mine booted fine, & to be honest what was said was that the issues come after you've done a fresh wipe to install a rom (which isn't necessary anyway) then once you reboot some people were unable to boot into recovery & bootlooped. I done the same thing You did & installed (while it was installing in Twrp I checked AFTVNews & they said don't use 5.0.4 r2 & the zips have been pulled from Rboxs thread until further notice.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
I see. Well im not planning on or wouldnt wipe anything before installing a pre rooted rom unless his guide said so and if I recall it never. Think ill just stay the way I am for the moment until the next r2 version is put up as its causing me no problems, as long as I dont wipe the rom in recovery I guess. Thanks again for the heads up, id not of realised otherwise.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
No problem mate thats what were all here for is to help each other. I've reverted back to 5.0.4 r1 for now, maybe tonight 5.0.5 r2 maybe fixed?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Yes true. I had a firestick first (with voice) was more than enough for what I wanted it for (mainly kodi, linked to my wd mycloud for movies and tv shows i have) but after I got it I realised there wasnt a way to root it without hardware modification, Which I didnt mind as I would of rooted it that way as I had the equipment to do it, (always have root on any android device i have for the wicked apps released). The i noticed the firetv was on special where I bought my stick from and figured id just take it back and swap it with the firetv. Couldnt of been happier when I got it as its much more fluent navigating and rootable, also wired ethernet usb/micro sd. Very happy. Only thing im not happy about is the ftv2 has not got optical out, so (with my situation) I have my pioneer av system sitting there what I cant use because the hdmi wont work, (everything else works fine but none of the hdmi ports output anything to my tv) So I can Only go firetv to tv then optical out from tv to av receiver, but cannot for the life of me get kodi to output dts or any type of 5.1 sound.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Yeah a lot have said that about the AFTV2's lack of audio connections, for me It's fine it's just connected to my 50" Samsung 3D flatscreen with no audio extras, but if I was single I'd probably have an 80" flatscreen with all the audio kits & advancements attached but we don't have the room or the funds (haha).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
So true. Ive got it linked to my 50inch samsung plasma, im sure the tv is on it way out and Ive seen a nice new 55inch LED samsung on offer Which im trying to pursuade my better half to get. No way in the world would she allow anything bigger, but id probably have a projector with a full wall dedicated to tv if I was single haha.

A device named Xiaomi Gemini has showed up on Geekbench, it's almost certainly the Xiaomi Mi 5.

The benchmark entry shows that the smartphone is powered by a msm8996 chipset, which is the designation of the Snapdragon 820, it also has 3Gb of RAM and runs Android 6.0

Here's a screenshot of the benchmark:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] downwiththebanksters:
I just bought a Z3CT(SGP612) and am a bit confused.

The first big question is about DRM key thing. Why do I care about them if I don't have any other Sony devices (Playstation etc.) and probably won't ever. I read in one thread that these keys may be non-recoverable, but in another thread it was said they could be saved and restored. What are the best practices for doing this?

Second, and I'm stuck here until this thread works, or further research surfaces the answer. I just bought this unit, it's brand new out of box. I'm probably the last man on earth to buy one, but....The device is nagging me to update, but I think that may end in tears. I'm afraid Sony official updates may render the device unrootable, or permanently lock the bootloader forcing me to beg Sony to do whatever I want to my own device. I think on 4.4.4 there is a way to unlock the bootloader without begging Sony to do it. The device is presently 4.4.4, build 23.0.1.A.0.167. The nagging update will take me to 23.0.1.A.3.12. I'm assuming there may be further updates beyond that to get to 23.4.xxxx. Should I accept this, and do any other updates, or proceed directly to one of the pre-rooted stock ftf files (sorry, what is ftf and acronym for?). I'd like to get to the latest 5.11 and have the ability to run adaway, make backups, have proper working SD card and USB OTG, and maybe run a few Xposed apps all of which mean I need root. As it's a virgin device I don't care about if I have to wipe the device in the process.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] zuz242:
as i´m in the same situation as you i will share my experience / research so far:

1. Rooting works on different firmware with different methods, kingroot being one rather easy but with the drawback of sending personal phone data to uncertain chinese servers. Rooting 4.4 seems easier than 5.x.

2. Research showed that the DRM keys / TA partition is something to be backed up, just in case. But for backing up you need root but no unlocked bootloader (unlocking erases the keys).

3. Recoveries can be installed without unlocking the bootloader but need root(?).

This is where im right now with my progress - rooted, TA/DRM keys backed up and on a custom recovery but bootloader still locked and TA intact .. getting root demanded some patience and several tries though.

4. next step will be installing a prerooted 5.1 firmware i guess and everything has to be running fine ;)

Hi,

I am looking out to change the code in Android 5.0, so as to keep GPS always on.

Basically, it needs me to disable the location button in the settings, so that the GPS remains always on, irrespective of whether the location is showing on/off in the settings.

Any pointers on if someone has done this before or how can I do this, please.

Does anyone who know or own the Samsung Note 4 with the Wireless Charging Back Cover (see link above) know which cases (especially wallet/folio style cases) fill fit with the phone and this wireless back cover as I understand it fits abit thicker then the stock cover?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mmarquis:
I was faced with the problem as you. I ordered the official Samsung wireless charging back, but it would not fit in my Seidio case. I returned the Samsung back and ordered a bare charging coil that will fit under the standard back. No problem with charging or any other functions and it fits in my Seidio case.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] artofwar:
WHich charging coil do you recommend? WOuld it charge at the same rate as the Samsung version? Will I also loose NFC functionality if I did it this way?

This is the one that I'm using:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R3WK2LU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Not sure about the charging rate compared to Samsung. It is Qi standard so I would guess there is little difference. It claims 600mA. It is NOT a quick charge, more like an overnight charge. I have not tested the NFC part but the answered questions say that it is OK.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tromador:
I have the same problem with my spigen case, now I got a hold of the s charger back. I'm really torn now, as I love the little stand the spigen comes with, but the official samsung back on the s charger pad wide seems to charge in double quick time.

I see the suggested workarounds and might consider them, but still nobody knows of an actual case which fits the note 4 with the wireless back?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
There is a huge thread in this subforum with a dozen of pages referencing cases that fit the charging back (yes they exist) and various workarounds. Here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/best-case-note-4-samsung-qi-charging-t2958395/page13
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I just moved the coil from the Samsung charging back into the regular back, and it's no thicker than it was without the coil, and so any case could continue to fit - whether it will charge through the case is another matter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] travis82:
any with a 2-3w charge output? 600a would take forever.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Moving the coil to the stock back is really the only way to go. It charges fine and the NFC works.

I went for month trying cases that fit that bulge and even the ones that "fit" threatened to pop off at any moment.

Here is a guide to moving the coil:

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bissa:
I have a weird stutter I faced with 2x Note 5 devices which I'm not sure why it is doing that while other devices I have Note 3, J7 doesn't do that.

I tried lot of things from changing firmware to changing kernel to even changing the device itself, the stutter is there, I didn't have lag problems in scrolling or browsing or even using the TW.

The weird thing that once I do a factory reset, the facebook stutter doesn't exist, but once I make the first reboot after the factory reset, the stutter will show and stay.

I logged what apps I installs/updates one by one and even cancelled the auto updates so I can log if there is a specific app or update is the reason but no difference.

I have recorded a fast video showing where I'm experiencing the facebook stutter, sometimes it is even worse with the 2 devices I tried so not sure if that compatibility issue with Note5/FB.

I have an N900S - it's the south-korean Telekom take on the SM-9005. But I'm in France and some of the French LTE bands aren't open.

By the specs it appears to be exactly the same as an N9005 except that it has a weird retractable radio antenna and these pesky blocked LTE bands.

It's rooted - finally - thanks to philz recovery which has a specific binary for the beast, and I've got all the tooling necessary to hack into the NanD storage and looked at all the tutorials and (finally) freed up the modem mode system menu.

But as the tutorials point out, I need a kernel built from AOSP to actually get in and permanently activate those LTE bands. And, it being the ESS, not 5, I have not yet found one.

So it's time to get there myself! Like any good programmer (and I am reasonably good), my principle attribute is laziness, so the first port of call is here - amongst the experts.

Here we go then:

. Does anyone know what the principle differences are between the ESS and the 5 - what is that make a 5 ROM/kernel, be a bricklayer on an ESS?

. Is anyone already working on this (I find no dev references anywhere)?

. If the answers to the above are negative, can anyone point me in the right direction for acquiring this knowledge for myself?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
The main difference between 900S and 9005 is the bootloader, but any AOSP/CM ROM from lollipop 5.0 supports both models fully.

For kernels which work with stock TW ROMs, I believe arter's kernels should he compatible, but you will want to read his instructions first.

What is it? And for that matter, is it dangerous to mess with? I don't mess with it, but these are questions for knowledge mostly. What does it do and what is stored in there? If it got corrupted, is that fixable at all? Thanks! Might be a noob question, but I've always modded my stuff without ever touching it or even knowing what it is! I always choose to back it up with my TWRP backups an then restore the EFS with my backups.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenhi:
As far as I know EFS partition contains some vital info of your phone's IMEI, serial number, radio info and other similar information. It's good to have a backup of your EFS partition all the time, because if it becomes corrupted you can quite easily render your phone useless (at least cell part of it). I learned my lesson with my old Nexus S :)...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
If it gets corrupted, and you don't have a backup then you lose your IMEI number and with that the ability to connect to any cellular network. So yes, back it up and keep it in a secure place.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
As above.

Back it up once, forget about it. I've never seen any EFS related issues on the Nexus 5 or 6. Samsung on the other hand, every day,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeezley:
EFS usually only get wiped when your doing something in the grey area... Such as *ahem* swapping IMEI's and other device identifiers to circumvent carrier/network blacklisted devices which we don't discuss on XDA, buy is common practice in the local phone shops you may find on craigslist. If you're good now and plan to stay that way, leave it alone. Backing up is a good practice when flashing ROMS, radios, system IMG., etc. You never know what may go wrong.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Really, the loss of an IMEI isn't even the worst scenario. It's the authentication certificates that are almost impossible to replace on a GSM network, and on CDMA it's the AAA password and HA KEY that are unique to each device. Anyways, point being, back up--and store on external drive somewhere
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:

That phone is still awesome running OMNI ROM, but with a crappy camera... I like this nexus 6 only somewhat better, actually. Gnex was one of the greatest nexus devices ever, in part, I think at least, because Samsung was the manufacturer. Great model... Wish they made this nexus or the newest 6p, but I digress.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok guys. Lets clearify something real fast. The reason that XDA frowns on editing the IMEI is due to the fact that it is illegal in many countries to mess with it at all.

With that being said. The EFS partition should always be backed up when you can. Samsung and other OEM have a habit of making the partition to be erasible and once erased without a backup you are hosed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:

I was say using an ADB command to back it up to your pc.

If you are most comfortable with TWRP, just use that to create the backup. Connect to your computer in MTP, find it in the TWRP folder and copy the file over to your computer.

And yes, the galaxy nexus was a fantastic build that really helped to put the nexus phones on the map. First phone to use NFC, IIRC. The device performance overall was to notch, especially with custom ROMS. Had a lot of features that made it an exceptional phone for the starting price. Only true downfall of the device was a crappy camera.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No worries, To be honest I am not sure of the mounting points for this device or where the efs is stored on this device. If twrp works as stated then I would just use that and copy it some where safe.
