[Redmi Note 2 General] maitrot:
Hi, playing around with an app called "Resolution Changer Pro", I set my phone to 350x350 in order to try a few things how my smartwatch would behave, which has also android and 400x400.

That went OK, and I was able to get back to fullHD fine.

Then I also changed the DPI accidentally to 100 and then the phone crashed.

Rebooting results in a black screen and I can´t do anything....

With adb I tried to set the resolution back to something usable, and the reply was that the window manger is not running.

Then I tried to get hold of the build.prop with adb and checked the DPI setting there, which was 480 .. the defailt setting.

Now my android knowledge is at the edge, and I don´t have an Idea how to reset the settings back to normal.

What could I do without deleting everything and re-flashing?

Pros.. what should I do ??? :crying::crying:

Flash same rom via recovery.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jwchen119:
First you have to flash TWRP in order to use terminal in recovery.

Download AROMA Filemanager from here thanks to [MENTION=402300]amarullz[/MENTION]

Go into recovery then flash it. (don't forget to mount system partition first.)

Guide to path /system/ then select Menu->open console

type in

Once you open the build.prop with vi , you can now use the arrow button to guide to your section.

There's two mode in vi, edit mode and connamd mode.

You have to enter "i" first to enter edit mode

Once you finish editing, press Esc on top and now you are back to command mode

Enter following command to save the file and quit:

Now press Close on right top then press menu and exit file manager, reboot your device.

You are done.

TIPs: Here's an useful command to delete a line that you can't use delete to eliminate

In command mode, type in following command to delete a line:
[Redmi Note 2 General] maitrot:
1. Ok, flashing the same rom did not help... this was the first thing I tried.

2. I already tried to work with my build.prop, which I downloaded with adb from the device.. I already said that in my first post.

In the build.prop the dpi setting is at 480, like I said. Modyfiying it from twrp with vi is the same as downloading it via adb and then modyfiying it locally and uploading it again..... this did not help, dpi was at 480, like I said.

Strange... right?

Where is the screen resolution saved? Dpi is in build.prop, but where is the resolution saved at?

The problem must be somewhere in the data partition, since flashing does not help. I erased system and re-flashed. no help.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jwchen119:
Then you should backup before flashing or doing root permission changes.

You can now do a fully backup , data, cache anything And then flash the stock firmware via SP_FlashTool.

If you boot, then try to restore the partition one by one.
[Redmi Note 2 General] maitrot:
Ok, I did that... made a backup of all partitions, erased everything and re-flashed latest dev firmware.

Off course, everything works fine now, but all my settings and stuff are lost.

going back to my old data partition, the problem is back.

How can I get back to my old settings? What do you mean one by one?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yo2la:
Hi all.

After OTA upgrade to android 6 of unlocked unrooted nexus 7 2013 WiFi i decided to unlock and install twrp.

I used adb and fastboot to flash version 2.8.7.

It went smooth but after reboot to recovery, twrp shell returns "can't mount *" for all partitions. And the device is bootlooping into this state (unless I boot into bootloader).

The worst part is that my pc wont recognise the tablet when connected. Adb devices returns an empty list. So i cant even flash stock recovery or do anything uing adb/fastboot.

HELP!!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yo2la:
[solved] falshed factory image manually using fastboot

It seems fastboot recognized the device while adb/pc couldn't.

I downloaded Android 6 factory image from google and flashed-all that.

Just updating in case some other noob who doesn't fully understand adb/fastboot relations.

Well, as you may all be aware I was having trouble rooting my phone, after many tried and some great help from a great person on Poland, I managed to root my phone YAY! But then, well I wiped the OS using TWRP. Where am I now? Well I have a phone with no OS that stays in bootloop but has TWRP. What if anything can do?
[Huawei P8max] rowihel2012:
fix is very easy

1- download the latest os B026 from

http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/DAV-703L-V100R001C233B026.zip

2-flash stock recovery

3-but the update.app file from the b026.zip in folder and name it dload

5-but this folder in wiped sd card and but it in the phone

6-hold power+volume up+volume down after 10 sec

the os will be install auto with the recovery

:laugh: now you have the os again

dont worry it is very easy

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perveeus:
Getting really slow page load with N6P.

Am on TMO network with <1 week old N6P.

Did some speedtest around town & it's been all over the place with speeds.

With my prior OnePlus One, the load speeds were commendable & definitely the coverage good too considering it was missing a few bars on the signal strength graph.

But voice isn't an issue with the N6P, it's the page load & speedtest.

I mean I am getting <1MPS on the OOKLA app.

Thoughts?

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
Hello,

Im considering buying the new Sony phone. Any thoughts on it? Is it worth buying over other premium/flagship phones?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I plan on buying it as ive found the best phones for my self to have are Nexus, LG or sony

I find that its a worthy upgrade to my Z2 and has that typical sony quality, although i had some problems with my Z2 its still an awesome device and i'd be happy to take a Z5 Premium over a LG V10 (my alternative choice)

Benefits over most phones:

4K Screen

Typically decent battery life

Decent camera (i dont care about megapixels)

Nice design and shape

(not sure about fingerprint sensor)

I REALLY like the demo units ive used
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psygnosi:
I have the V10 and Z5p. Since this is my first Sony phone I am completely loving the Z5p. I got the Black version. The Nexus 6p was never a choice after seeing the disturbing bend video on YouTube. I'm running the Z5p naked but the cases and glass screen protectors are coming in next week.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
How would you compare the V10 and Z5p? Which one is better?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psygnosi:
I like them both. Z5p is my main. V10 is my backup.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasan_abeer:
Hi please would you tell me how you find speaker phone of Sony z5 premium ? Also while calling someone.....is it clear and high volume in earphone and speakers volume on songs Rgrds
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
My choice is probably between these two phones and then also waiting for the samsung galaxy s7 or rumored Lg g4 pro. Any thoughts on what would be the better choice?

If you where to choose between the V10 and Z5p what would you choose?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Having owned all top end phones in the last 3 years I'm must say z5 premium sits quite well amongst the current top phones 6s Plus, Nexus 6p, S6 Edge plus, M9 plus, moto x style, Blackberry Priv. I will provide very brief reasons why i think so

Where Z5 is par or performs better the other top end phones:

4k screen(obvious) - bright and vibrant

speakers - loud crisp and clear

Design - Sold with glass back

Build quality - sturdy and waterproof

Camera

Battery life - good

UI - smooth and very little lag (only BB, Moto is better due to being closest to stock android)

SD Card

Cons

PRICE (s/be priced around £500 max)

Won't get good development support, very little
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
Thanks for the great help. So would you recommend this phone over any other atm? Or is lg v10 or waiting for samsung s7 or lg g4 pro still a good option?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
If you don't mind LG lag and ugly UI then LG is a very good choice but for me I detest it more then Samsung UI. This of course is personal preference and not necessarily objective.

As for S7 i think it's going to be worth the wait since it will probably have 4k screen and premium build, better camera and better processor. Hopefully UI would have been revamped closer to stock android. Then again there will be news leaking of other top end phones like Iphone, HTC and Sony, Motorola etc so you could find yourself waiting even longer.

As long we keeping buying they will keep churning out phones month after month, week after week. How sad!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
Any official leaks about the s7?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gparmar76:
I currently own the Nexus 6P, and had the S6 Edge (sold it).

The Sony Z5 Premium is better than every other phone out there right now....the 6P is great but I think it's just slightly out of my comfort zone of 5.5 inches. Plus the Z5P just looks absolutely fantastic....I ordered the chrome version and should have it by the end of the week.

For those comparing it to the S6 or a possible S7, don't...S7 is no where near ready for a release date....the S6 is still considered new....but just as all other Samsung phones, Touchwiz still sucks and still hurts the S6 in the end...and the software builds from Samsung are still laggy to this day! My S6 Edge always started to lag considerably after I loaded it with a good 30-50 apps...the Nexus 6P works fantastic and very smoothly regardless of what you throw at it...the Sony Z5P is the same...user experience on the Z5P is probably the best of all other phones and from the few people who I know have it say there is no slowdowns or loss of performance...I'm guessing that has a lot to do with the fact that Sony hasn't gone too far from stock Android...if you Google Sony Z5P camera pictures, you will see it is very superior.

There are a lot of people talking about CPU degradation on the S6 which is happening within months of owning it...I think this really may be true or Samsung just has a lot of bad Exynos CPUs in production....my S6 Edge was a very big letdown overall except for the camera and screen which were absolutely fantastic....the Z5P looks to excel in every aspect of a smartphone with no real negatives.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
The thing that worries me is that although I am paying for a 4k display I only get to use it 10% of the time. The rest of the time the screen is in normal full hd.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
That is the biggest dowside.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xabuk:
Does it makes the 4k worthless and therefore not worth spending that extra money. I have also read that you cant see a difference between full hd and 4k on this sony phone.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gparmar76:
You can easily change the DPI on the phone to full 4k full time without root...it can be done a few different ways...but honestly, wouldn't you prefer using 1080p when just browsing the web and mundane tasks? It automatically uses 4k anytime your using the camera or watching videos...what else could you possibly need 4k for? And remember, if it bothers you, just change the DPI and it can stay 4k permanently

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

You won't see the difference between 2k and 1080p either...its not the resolution that matters...it's the quality of the display panel that matters...there are 2k screens on many phones yet some look sharper and crisper than others...the Sony Z5P has a superior panel that looks fantastic regardless of the resolution... That's what matters.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
Hand on heart, this looks sharper at 1080p than the S6 edge at 2k.

At 4k this thing looks amazing
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
It does look sharp even with 1080p due to 4k screen, everything seems upscale.

I must say I can't tell the difference between this and other QHD screens.

Other 1080 screens don't look as sharp.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasan_abeer:
For me my dual Sim z5 premium have a bad battery ever seen..... Also biggest problem is the high heat beside the camera in the middle point..... Also delay when calling 2 to 3 sec..... I think this device the last one on Sony brand.... I think it's a very bad choice.... Believe me I swear....
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shatterpoints:
I've had my z5p since monday. I have not had any issues with battery, call quality, screen, or speakers. I like the z5p a lot, its not as huge of an upgrade over my note 3 that I would have liked. But in all there is nothing wrong with getting the z5p. I suppose a small argument could be made about the 4k screen utilization. I think a lot of people realize that it takes a lot to push 4k and it should not surprise you the phone doesn't do 4k all the time. Be smart with your money, if the price difference between the regular z5 and the z5p is too much, then cool go with what you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dnpurdy:
I seem to me missing the SDM.apk from OC3. Due to usage of linux and other limiting factors, not able to get a ODIN flash of OE2 to work for my phone, so I'd like to just use the regular OTA process and (likely) loose root by going up to OG5.

Anyone have a binary of the SDM.apk I can add back to my /system/apps folder to make the OTA work?

Hey guys, i've been trying to get my US Cellular US996 to work in my country.

H950PR

when i flashed this it says service disabled.

IMEI: unknown

Service State: Disabled

H955/H959

when i flashed any variant of these, my local network (Digicel) is displayed but there is no service/bars.

when i try to make a call it says to turn off airplane mode, but this is already off.

when i boot, it says

"Warning! Current version is not available for user. Can't find matchest cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[], subset[]"

IMEI is there

Network: unknown

Mobile network Type: unknown

Service State : Radio off

I cant seem to get the LS996 installed using the tot method. It hangs at Bin CRC check and fails.

I've tried getting the H950.kdz (ATT) from this chinese site (mobile.goadi.net), but i can't figure out the criteria for downloading.

Thanks for any help you can give guys.
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
Why you want a cross flash? We have a locked bootloader I I dont know if it will work, but you can flash firmware you want, then try to dd modems partitions of the PR.

All version have different modems so baseband support is different, and maybe this makes the phone dont work.

Be carful about downgrading and flashing v1 bootloader, its impossible to downgrade to v0 right now

Enviado desde mi LG-H950 mediante Tapatalk
[LG G Flex 2] drbacchoi:
I need it to function on GSM, this is the reason for cross flash.

I assumed the problem was modem support since US996 is configured to CMDA, but i have no idea how to get it functioning when using either GSM rom.

I've tried all hidden menu settings and dabbled in the builb.prop and the root files but no luck.

If you can link me the proper way to install the modem partitions that'll be great.

If i could get the radio funtioning on the H955 rom everything would be perfect i think.

And i assume one of the problems is the Cust folder, there may not be support for my carrier.....idk......not sure if this H955 is international.

I tried unlocking using the 2945#*xxx# dial command but i get:

"This phone is permanantly locked and can not be unlocked'
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
First, do a backup.

You can flash it from adb.

To take changes reboot.

For backup:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/data/media/0/modem.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/data/media/0/modemst1.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/data/media/0/modemst2.img

Then to flash, the inverse with modem you want

As example, you must do with the 3:

dd if=/data/media/0/modem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

And do the same with the other 2.

You may lock bootloader with that.

If it happends, force power off, power to download mode and reflas any kdz that works

Sorry, all I tell, from ADB shell with root, or from the phone with root from terminal emulator

Enviado desde mi LG-H950 mediante Tapatalk
[LG G Flex 2] drbacchoi:
thanks alot, just to clarify, i dont need any .img files to do this right? just plug phone and run adb?

I'm kinda new to android programming.

I'll wait for your reply. It's 11pm where i am so i'll try it in 12 hrs or so.

Caio
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
to do adb you dont need any img, you need adb in your pc and usb debugguing enabled in the phone.

I explain a little the dd command.

dd is a disk dump, so, copies byte to byte the origin to the destiny.

how it works:

dd if=[origin] of=[destiny]

It could have options but you dont need right now, and dd is a linux command (can be executed in android too).

what you have to do. YOU NEEED THE MODEMS THAT YOU NEED TO USE. SO.

If you have the img of the modem, great, if you dont, you need this from a phone that is running or flash your phone and backup it.

copy modem backup to your pc.

Then flash the firmware you want, root that firmware and enable usb debugging.

again, copy the files to your phone and then:

dd if=file.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p**

if you dont understand ask me again.

Its 9:25am here in argentina... I dont know where are you.

By the way: tell me exactly what you want, Which firmware with wich modem images.
[LG G Flex 2] drbacchoi:
Ok I dont understand very well. This is what i understand from your mothod:

Goal:

To get h995 working with h950 modem

What i need:

- adb on windows

- h950 modem .img file

Method:

Copy h950 modem file to phone and use adb to install?

The problem is, i don't have the modem .img for H950.

Is what I am saying correct?
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
No sr, you need to get into adb with "adb shell" and flash modem with dd.

So, open command line.

adb shell

su

dd if=modem.img of=modempartition

I have the img files of the h959pr if you need it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cauqel:
I'm torn between the Turbo 2 and the S6. My default position is the Turbo 2, 'cause I've been using Motorola since the Droid 1 (D1, Razr and Gen1 Moto X), but the company has changed a lot since then and Lenovo has been less than impressive so far.

I like the look (been messing with motomaker a lot) and feel of the Turbo2, and shatterproof display is very nice since I've been using a Moto X with a cracked screen for a couple months. However, the locked bootloader coupled with Moto's slow rollout of updates in the last couple years is kinda a downside. Granted I've run stock on my Moto X for 2 years, but still, I thought the whole locked down phone things was just a phase. Doesn't seem to be much dev activity in regard to the Turbo 2 so far. I'm also pretty bummed there's no one hand mode like LG and Samsung have.

The S6 is a pretty good phone too, and is nicely open to dev/mod community. I don't like touchwiz, but seems like it can be removed with out too much of a hassle. And my tiny hands really like the idea of one hand mode. I don't like the feel of the S6, it just feels kinda cheap, plus it doesn't have shatterproof glass, and I hate cell phone cases.

Basically, I want the Turbo 2 hardware with some/most of the OS/software of the S6.

With the Turbo 2 community being pretty small, I thought I'd get some input from S6 owners
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
Please be aware that the S6 has a locked bootloader as well, and no root capability after OE3(?), so unless you get a model that's been sitting on the shelf and stop it from updating, there is no opportunity to root. It is very easy to use another launcher if you don't TW. I don't think that it feels cheap at all, but slippery is another matter. I won't use mine w/o a case.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cauqel:
So all the custom roms and root stuff I see here is for people with older phones and i won't be able to root a new one from the store? Well I guess that tilts things into the Turbos favor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
I'd get a Dev to verify, but from everything I've seen on these forums, that is the case. If it is still on 5.02 out of the box you can root it, but once it gets 5.1 you are done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] karlmf:
My wife has the S6 and is very happy with it. A great display and a petty good camera. She just uses it, and could care less about the specs. I just got the Turbo 2, coming from the Turbo 1. I especially like the Moto apps like Moto Voice, Actions, Display and Assist. I can't imagine owning anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
To root the S6 you need to be on build OE3? or earlier. Once you get to OF1 you are screwed. Your best bet at getting an S6 with an old enough build would be a 128gb model. I have a 128gb one myself and it came with OC3 out of the box, so I rooted right away and froze updates so now I'm good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bilestoad:
I did that too. I bought a 128gb verizon s6 on ebay. when it arrived I didn't activate it on verizonwireless and instead hooked it up to wifi and set the phone up including root with pingpongroot. That blocked it from updating and now I'm happily 'stuck' with OC3 until I choose.

Can't Change APN settings "access point names are not available for this user"

Hi,

I have a carrier unlocked HTC One M8, and when I switched back from CM to my stock sense ROM (installed it from a RUU.exe). I get the messagge "access point names are not available for this user" whenever I try to change my APN settings.

I tried getting root and then deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db*, but didn't work.

I was thinking it could be an issue with the stock rom, so I converted my HTC One to a GPE 6.0, but I get the exact same error on this ROM.

Has anyone solved an issue like this one?
