[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snukkums:
My G4 crashed and wouldn't turn on LG fixed it questions about what they did

So my LG crashed randomly and would not boot back up or do anything, I could sometimes get it to show the LG screen but it would freeze and shutdown again even when trying to do a factory reset. My phone is completely stock so it was still under warranty luckily. But I have some questions about what LG did to fix it, this what they sent me:

The repair on your LG mobile product has been completed and shipped from the repair facility.

Defect:

Power-Completely off

Payment Type:	NOT APPLICABLE

Repair Results:

Power AMP IC

Repair Cost:	$ 0.00

Warranty Status:

In Warranty

Tax:	$ 0.00

Total:	$ 0.00

So was this a hardware defect? Customer support told me it was the bootloader and wasn't really very helpful beyond that.

I did a google search for Power AMP IC and it pulled up stereo/audio stuff.

Thank you.

I created TWRP and custom kernel for Z5 Premium E6853.

I won't update this kernel since I don't have Z5P.

NOTE: This kernel is not for people who don't read official instruction at Sony Developer World!

This note is ridiculous, but some people don't read long instruction even if it has risk.

Download:

https://dl.androplus.org/Xperia Z5 Premium_E6853/

NOTE: You should search how to setup adb and fastboot.

You can find how to for unlocking bootloader on Sony Developer World.

1. Download Z5P_AndroPlusKernel_v4a.zip and twrp-2.8.7.0-E6853-20151122_material.img

You also need SuperSU from this thread

2. Enter into fastboot mode and run these commands in same folder you downloaded 1.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-E6853-20151122_material.img
fastboot reboot

3. Press volume key when LED is on

4. Install SuperSU zip

5. Reboot and rooting is done

If TWRP didn't work, you can alternatively do this:

adb shell
rootsh +p
./SuperSU_files/install_SuperSU.sh
reboot

Hi androplus

You do awesome work I have used your kernel on the z3 before. So happy to see you helping us out. Is there any changes or things you have added to this kernel or is it just rooted?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] AndroPlus:
Some changes are added, see changelog:

https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] rx7boy22:

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] zohaib0001:
you have to unlock your bootloader first

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] AndroPlus:
You really should read instruction on Sony developer world...

If you don't read carefully, your device will be bricked.

Please don't use my kernel and TWRP if you don't want to read long instruction.

[Q] Soft brick S6 ( SM-G920F) 5.1.1.

Tried to flash it with S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN, cf-autoroot, and it did only say pass and the phone started to reboot but it didnt get pass the logo part. So I tried to go back to stock firmware, and it only got fail so I tried with 5.0.2 instead and that didnt work either. Both case gave me this kind of error.

The firmware was from sammobile.

I didnt saw OEM in "Developer options" hope that I didnt miss it, but some post did say some phone have bootloader unlocked at start, so it should be noproblem to flash the phone. But it didnt work out for me so well.

Install Smart Switch (Kies for newer models) on a computer, and use the option Emergency software recovery and initialization.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calnyx:
cf-autoroot is outdated, and you can't downgrade to 5.0.2 after you've had 5.1.1

Try to flash the kernel again and see if it boots. Otherwise do what the previous post says.

Also, flashing unikernel would have rooted it with no other steps needed.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KFelix:
I tried to connect phone with Kies, nothing happend, just "connecting.." what can I do?

Tried flashing kernel alot of times, same problem .

Just re-read his post, one small problem, the box i have is a bit damage and i can't find the S/N , is there any chance I can get the S/N , I have the ART code and some numbers under a bar but wasn't the S/N with numbers and chars?

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KFelix:
Can't find the S/N on my box due to damage , is there other way? Do they still have the S/N inprinted under the battery? And when I'am in Odin "Binary : Custom , System : Official , Knox : 1" So it did someone "half-rooted" it or something but I have tried to reflash unikernel v8 still the same problem, is there any way to fix it without going back to the latest stable firmware with the S/N in Kies?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghostrider:
first you should flash TWRP recovery in Odin from here https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/

for Odin you need the file with .tar at the end.

Then you can try Adam Kernel by Wanam from here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/kernel-adam-kernel-t3093569

and you can try Wanam Rom from here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/mod-wanamlite-1-0-t3095155

in this is the Kernel included.

I use his ROM my self without any problems.

[Q&A] CM13/Android Marshmallow Test Builds (Feedback, Troubleshoot & Discussion)

CM 13 / Android Marshmallow Test Builds for Xperia Play

Please Post all your Feedback, Fixes or Discovery of new Bugs and Discussion about Mike's CM13 here.

Its compiled by me and released here for some public testing. It was and is Mike's CM !! its his Hardwork !

I have been trying to build some test builds for Xperia Play.. builds have been successful but iv not been able to boot the ROM. if anyone else can do it.. and let us know how to as well.. its only a matter of time when MIKE is able to debug all of this.. but playing with Test Builds and bricking our devices is the Romance of Xda Community.. haha :D

Warning

Im not responsible if u Brick ur device/sd card. Everything at your own Risk buddies.

Backup Everything. Your ROM specially Your SD Card as this may brick your sd Card. and you would have to FORMAT it again totally.

About Recovery - Move about with Volume Keys. To select something, its the Power Button.

Builds Included in my Download folder. Separate Images of Kernel that I built also included. Boot.img present inside the Zip files don't boot. you can play and try as much as you want though.

1. Test Build 1 (9 Nov 2015)

Kernel from Zip file only keeps vibrating and didn't boot to recovery. Built a separate image of a kernel and that booted. but Doesn't load SD Card. for sure ROM needs to be booted from ADB Sideload but I don't know how.

2. Test Build 2 (23 Nov 2015)

Kernel from Zip file again keeps vibrating like hell and didn't boot to recovery. Built a separate image of Kernel only after ROM was built, Kernel boots to recovery but gives error.

Tried old build Kernel with New ROM. Still SD Card Error.

My display just went blank all of the sudden. No image. The backlight works, the touchscreen works, everything works, except the display. I've done some research and I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem.

I plugged into my PC and pulled the images off, but I really need a backup of the text messages on the phone.

I tried a "remote control" app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786395, but it won't work because ADB can't find my device.

My phone is not rooted. I'm certain the ADB utility and phone drivers are installed, but USB debugging won't enable when I connect my phone to my PC. I'm certain USB debugging is enables, but it won't activate. I believe it's because it's connected as "media device" and it should be connected as an "internet device". Problem is, I can't see what I'm doing to enable it.

Can someone walk me through the steps to pulldown the menu, select "connected as" and choose the correct option? (Screenshots of each step or X,Y coordinates in inches or millimeters).

Alternatively, I can mirror the display if I can enable screen sharing, but that might be more tricky.

I previously got a mpj 3k mah battery and been using it for a few weeks now. I think they're great for the $20 asking price. I use my phone for mainly music and use it 12hrs a day for play music with headphones. By time I'm done, the mpj has at least 70% battery left. The stock battery has around the same. I can also get around 3hrs screen on time by the end of the day.

I have also noticed the mpj doesn't seem to get as hot while charging or using the g4 like the stock battery does.

I would highly recommend them and for any phone that has a replaceable battery option, I'll buy the mpj from here on out.

[G4 Accessories] undercover:
That looks like a rebranded Anker. If that's the case, i confirm, Anker bat tech is good, although they degrade quicker than OEM
[G4 Accessories] Milimbar:
This is defiantly not a rebranded Anker battery.

Anker has not released a standard battery for the LG G4 yet.

I know this because I currently am beta testing that product for them.

And yes, Anker battery tech is good :)

I have previously tested the MPJ 6000mAh extended battery for the LG G4 and found it excellent.

If this one is anything like that one was, it is well worth it.

[ZenFone 2 General] Locklear308:
My current daily driver, a old OnePlus One is just deteriorating like crazy and I need to replace it... there are not any phones from 2015 that honestly grab my attention. Waiting some something big worth spending the big ones on...but in the mean time I need a driver to get me through the rest of the year. I'm having to charge and reboot my OPO 3+ times a day... so... I've been looking at the ZP2 as a low cost backup device.

My questions are...

How is the performance? Smooth?

How is the speaker(s)? Will my ringtones sound nice or like a $20 walmart phone?

How is the DAC? (Digital to Analog Converter)

How is the battery life? I tend to need at least 5 hours of SOT over a 20 hour peroid. (Roughly)

Is the phone pretty simple to get root and such? Or do I need a supernatural act to unlock and root it?

How is the screen? Bright? Dim? Colorful? I prefer IPS to AMOLED, so as long as it is a good IPS we are good. lol

How is the dev support? I see a lot in the forums, but I'm just curius if it is all still being supported.

Much appreciated to anyone who can fill me in.
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
For around $300 (or $200 for the 2GB version) there's nothing that offers better value or performance.

[*]How is the performance? Smooth?

Performance is great, especially if you multitask a lot or like having lots of browser tabs open. GPU is a bit old, same as iPhone 5s, but still good performer.

[*]How is the speaker(s)? Will my ringtones sound nice or like a $20 walmart phone?

Speaker is weak. What can you expect from a tiny speaker?

[*]How is the DAC? (Digital to Analog Converter)

This one's very good, better than most phones.

[*]How is the battery life? I tend to need at least 5 hours of SOT over a 20 hour peroid. (Roughly)

Battery life will depend on what you with your phone. I get like 3 to 4 hours SOT, with at least 1 hour of waze, a lot of browsing, email and a bit of gaming. Stand by time is excellent.

[*]Is the phone pretty simple to get root and such? Or do I need a supernatural act to unlock and root it?

Yes it is. I got root 5 minutes after having it in my hand. I unlocked it the next day unlock was available. Just don't use official unlock, as it seems to cause problems.

[*]How is the screen? Bright? Dim? Colorful? I prefer IPS to AMOLED, so as long as it is a good IPS we are good. lol

It's bright enough.

[*]How is the dev support? I see a lot in the forums, but I'm just curius if it is all still being supported.

See for yourself in the dev section.
[ZenFone 2 General] domacikolaci:
Bought phone about 2 months ago and so far performance is pretty good. Could be a little better but considering the abuse I give my phone, not to bad. Speakers arnt to bad either. They are a little quite when I'm outside with my mates but, I am happy with them regardless as the quality is surprisingly good. For battery life, I get about a days usage, and that is with constant usage and a bit of YouTube. As for rooting and flashing ROMs and stuff, havnt tried it yet. Looks like its alot easier then it used to be, there is even a nice looking windows GUI tool now but still am to scared to try it lol. Screen is a really nice display. If u are in direct sunlight or just outside in general, the screen could be better. It is hard to see things in that environment but otherwise, it's super nice. As for dev support, from what i see, it's very active lol
[ZenFone 2 General] Locklear308:
Wow, thanks that is really helpful my friend. While I don't expect it to sound like the HTC M7-8-9 speakers, I just prefer my phones to...at least, not sound like they are exploding when my ringtone comes in lol.
[ZenFone 2 General] TOT_tomdora:
The phone is nice and smooth on stock software, but I installed an AOSP ROM and let me tell you it is incredible now.

With stock, I'd generally get ~4-5 hours SOT without any tweaking (I was one of the lucky few, it seems) and now I get ~5-6 on the ROM.

The speaker is eh. Your ringtones will be recognisable; they won't sound absolutely disgusting, but the speakers aren't terribly great (however, audio over the headphone jack is fantastic. Just make sure you turn off the "audiowizard" software; it's pretty gross)

There are one-click tools to get root and bootloader unlock, and using both took me ~10 minutes.

The screen is pretty nice, but it's not great, admittedly. However, I really only notice its shortcomings when held next to a better screen (such as the one on my nexus 7), and it's still way preferable to most phone screens to me.

Dev support is alive and well, my friend!
[ZenFone 2 General] threi_:
1. Performance is pretty smooth, intel cpu is comparable to the snapdragon 801 in your OPO but with a better GPU

2. Speaker is small and kinda tinny. Not $20 walmart phone level but nothing particularly amazing.

3. Very very good actually. Very clean, little to no distortion/crosstalk. Check out GSMArena's measurements.

4. Standby is slightly better than average, screen drain is slightly worse than average. You will probably wind up getting slightly less battery than your OPO because OPO is better than most phones for battery life. ZF2 battery is just average.

5. Rooting is easier than most phones. Its actually easier than my nexus 7 on marshmallow! There are 1-click-root tools on this forum as well.

6. Screen is good. Accurate with good contrast. Its a bit dimmer at max brightness than other phones, and doesn't get dim as other phones at min brightness. Indoor use is absolutely fine.

7. Dev support is pretty good, better than a lot of phones, especially in this price range. Unofficial (right now) CM12, a lot of common custom roms have ports, and rumblings are that this phone may wind up with both official CM12 and CM13 in the future.
[ZenFone 2 General] aloy99:
I have touch screen issues where it just stops working until I restart, and I've also had a bit of lag and crashing in day to day usage on the stock rom, without any overclocking.

It's an alright phone for the price, but I'd say phones like the Meizu Note 3 and the Redmi Note 3 have trumped it in terms of performance:value ratio.
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
I recommend reading this review, it's on a newer firmware that fixed most bugs present at launch and I found it to be unbiased, contrary to others.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-zenfone-2,4267.html

This other article illustrates the advantage of having 4GB of RAM and how Asus's Rom is not as bloated as people think:

http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=897
[ZenFone 2 General] Locklear308:
Thanks mate, I will check those out. I presume they will not matter too much however due to be never using the stock rom though, right?

Also, I see the ZE551ML at microcenter... Is this... an alright model to get? I don't see it really in the Roms section so I was worried.
[ZenFone 2 General] GuestK00153:
xiaomi is doing better with the redmi note 3
[ZenFone 2 General] luisoman2000:
there are several variants of the zf2, the 551 ML is actually the best choice since all custom roms support it. thing is it comes in several flavors: 16 gig /2 gigs ram, 64 gig /4 gigs ram, 16gig /4 gigs ram, 32 gig /4 gigs of ram, plus 2 different processor versions. they are all the 551 ML though so no matter which version you get, the roms will work. I personally own a 550ML and don't regret my choice, though I'm going to be selling it soon to get a 551 ML
