[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smithwill72:
Hi to all.

I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me bypass the Samsung ID and login request on this Samsung s6 edge. I did not buy this phone on eBay. I actually found this phone on the ground in a car park next to my van close to the hotel I was staying at whilst working in London. The finger print and pass lock security features were on which I've now bypassed.there was a box on the screen saying sim deactivated? If I could of I would of returned it but as I can't why let a phone go to waste.if somebody could please help I would be very greatful
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmayhemreturnsx:
I do not think anyone can legally help you, your best bet would be to return it to the carrier so they can get it to the rightful owner
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkland301:
I's strongly advise you contact the police, from experience they will hold the handset for a short period of time and if no one claims it then it's yours.

If there is a Samsung account on the handset can you see the email address? It might be worth firing the original owner an email letting them know you have it. It's an expensive bit of kit to lose and someone will be missing it.

That said, if you are morally fine with keeping it then check this thread out...http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/samsung-account-pass-galaxy-s6-t3111916
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smithwill72:
Thank you all. but no email address is showing.the phones been wiped clean with the battery reset I could return it to an 02 shop I doubt it would find its way back to the owner down in London.reset thread is unclear and doesn't seem to work once again thank you to all
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxblaine:
IMEI numbers are linked to accounts, there is 100% chance they can find out who the owner is. If you hand it to the police and no one claims in 28 days then its yours.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smithwill72:
ok I will look into doing that thanks again
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] arpaul:
Using 818pro with V6 Rom, running WiFi and phone seperately that is not problems. If I am using WiFi and there is one call in, It will auto restart. Anyone know what is happen with that? Try if you are using V6. Thanks.

Hi there,

My tab s2 arrived yesterday and I am now seeking a protective back cover. I do not want a flip cover or a tpu (silicone) case. Has anybody got a good back cover he can recommend?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] BikerBoy030:
Same here. Maybe with a kickstand. But the case should be really slim. Only to protect before scratches

This looks pretty OK but it is really too expensive. It is 1/4 of the price of the s2

My MXF got root!

I use twrp for clark (moto x style).

Screen was upside down, so it little hard to hit in proper touchbutton - but works!

Installation update-supersu-v2.46.zip succeed!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
booyah!!!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] itanas:
Does this phone work on Verizon?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
Great ! Wonderful ! Cool !

I brought a mxf weeks ago. Could you help to share the step how to root it ? Thanks very much !
[Droid Turbo 2 General] waterninja21:
I thought this forum was for the Droid Turbo 2 not the X Force. I know MXF is the international version but this forum isn't for that. Mods need to separate
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Download to phone update-supersu zip file.

Unlock bootloader and boot (not flash! - only boot from pc) twrp for clark.

Screen will be upsidedown, but touch layer work properly - in good direction.

Now fun - with upsidedown screen and properly touch layer you must hit 'install' button in twrp,

and navigate to update-supersu zip file.

After that, simply install this file, disconnect phone from pc and reboot.

Done - you have rooted phone.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
tks so much ! but how to boot twrp after download supersu? and which version of twrp are u using ?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Answers for this questions is on this forum. Think and search!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
:crying::crying: it's very very slow to search xda forum from here :crying:

could you tell me directly ? many thanks !!!!

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-clark.img

Edit: plan for weekend - xposed installation :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
Thanks so much ! trying now (with xposed) now..
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Get twrp source and fix upside down screen :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Yeah, if it's so simple, do it yourself.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
It was joke but I build Android many times. With some research it's doable to even fix the code.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
Could you share your fixed TWRP to us ?

Thanks

I want to learn as well :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Jaocagomez:
i guess moto x style was close enough to work, GG all.

also you can contact the developer of TWRP of moto x style and just add the code for the upside down fix, its just one line.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] ChazzMatt:
It's just like the original Droid Turbo forum. By necessity, it was the all-in-one QUARK forum, until many months later the Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx got their own forum.

Right now, this is the all-in-one KINZIE forum until it gets separated, and Moto X Force users get their own section.

Right now, with the original Droid Turbo bootloader being unlocked, suddenly all the Droid Turbo users are asking about QUARK TWRP and ROMs..

So, watch and learn. You'll be using this root and TWRP also some day. Hopefully.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I'm testing Turbo 2 (Force is not available in USA) so someone else with Force should contact TWRP developer for Moto X. The best candidate is [MENTION=1847676]damkol[/MENTION].

I'm still thinking should I buy Force or not. Turbo 2 (basically the same device) works really nice, battery life is good, has sdcard, like design (not one speaker but two holes) but Snapdragon 810 makes device really hot quickly for average tasks. For example in just 5 min of recording full HD (not 2k).

Anyway, I like how things are going so far. In just few weeks, thanks to@damkol, Force get unlocked bl and root. Without any active developer yet. Hopefully some dev will get device soon and then fun can begin :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
I send message to twrp team with many details few days ago. Still no response.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
[MENTION=1847676]damkol[/MENTION]:

Could you maybe point out how exactly you unlocked the bootloader of your MXF? As of now, i tried unlocking it via the official unlocking page and it said, my moto x force is not eligible for unlocking.

At least for now, i figured.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
Thanks mate!

I assume i was too stupid to copy & paste then. :rolleyes:

I'll give it another shot, if successful i'll look into building TWRP the right way up this weekend, so the recovery gets a little more user friendly. ;)

But priority is on rooting my device and getting all setup as i want it... so that i can actually use this thing as daily driver.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mech_supernova:
Quick question, how long is the bootloader unlock key for the x-force? And does it have letters and number or just numbers?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
20 characters - letters and numbers.

Someone youtube help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw675ipX-ds
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Please don't tell us that force is not officially unlockable anymore.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
No, all is good! Just unlocked & rooted mine. Guess i was too tired yesterday to get it right. :D Next up: Set up my device, then i'm going to see if i can build a recovery that is not upside down. ;)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] franknkg:
Thank u for ur effort
[Droid Turbo 2 General] maroof.saeed:
I have MXF EU edition and sucessfully unlocked the bootloader today......
[Droid Turbo 2 General] CraiaSoftware:
I have a UK Moto X Force and I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed Xposed (xposed-v78-sdk22-arm64). All working. I am using it in the US with AT&T.

I requested help with recompiling twrp so that it is right side up as I don't have any experience with it. I think it is just changing two flags before re-compiling (but I don't know how to do it myself).

Thanks to damkol for the instructions! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63999434&postcount=6
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
That is what i intend to do. In fact, it's only one flag.

BOARD_HAS_FLIPPED_SCREEN := TRUE

Pulling the needed git repos atm, then i hope i can build this thing.

After that, i am going to see if i can make a working device tree for the kinzie, to let the real fun things start. Also, even if the recovery is the right way up it should not be used for anything else than rooting atm.

We need to verify correctness of the mount points in recovery.fstab first.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] joshw0000:
Does the X1580 support CDMA (Verizon)? I'm sure Verizon locked the Turbo 2 down tight like they usually do.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
AFAIK, no. Not even all LTE bands, "lucky" 13 is missing. Maybe is just locked in firmware but I'll not count on it. I have Razr HD and xt926 for Verizon has different radio part than xt925 for the rest of the world. Btw, I put xt925 board in xt926 maxx case :)

Turbo 2 vs Force.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] joshw0000:
Good info, thanks.

Looks like the CDMA bands are missing. I'd still be interested to see the results if (or when) someone flashes Droid Turbo 2 firmware on the X Force.

The XT1575 can flash XT1572 firmware (Marshmallow). And I had read that the Turbo 2 is essentially a Verizon branded Moto X Style. I'm honestly not sure what differences the X Force has but they all seem to be very similar phones.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Flashing XT1572 firmware to XT1575 unlocks CDMA or LTE bands? Modem firmware is separated from Android partition, the same as kernel, bootloader, etc.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] joshw0000:
No. We're able to flash a 1572 rom and modem to a 1575. I'm honestly not sure if the 1572 has CDMA capability or not but the phones obviously share some similarities.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
If you cannot unlock more LTE bands or CDMA, then flashing different modem is not very useful. For Razr HD is confirmed that modem hardware is different by regions.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] joshw0000:
The modem is required to use 6.0 on the Pure and since the Pure hasn't received the 6.0 update, the Indian modem is the only option if you want to use MM. To get back to 5.1.1, the corresponding modem must be flashed as well or the phone won't allow you past the lockscreen.

Since the X Force and DT2 are essentially the same phone and the MXF has an unlockable bootloader I feel sure it would be capable of flashing DT2 firmware. The question at hand is whether or not they actually are the same phone with different software or if the CDMA bands are missing from it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Thx for info!

Then someone can try to flash just modem, not complete rom with all partitions. Would be really bad to turn MXF to TB2 with locked bootloader. Not likely but let's avoid the risk.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] joshw0000:
As long as a bootloader isn't being flashed that's not really a concern. Without some system updates a MXF almost certainly wouldn't connect to Verizon (assuming bands are present). i.e. Converting a 1575 to 1572 breaks Verizon connection. Some build.prop edits help it stay in LTE/CDMA mode but even then it's still buggy. Flashing a /system and modem should be plenty to convert a MXF to DT2. All of this is theoretical of course.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] robsharp78:
Same thing happened on the Turbo 1 Forum. It does a dis-service to the folks looking for info before making a purchase., but they never broken them out for the XT 1225/1254 so I doubt it will happen here. They do it for the Samsung phones for some reason however.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
Hi!

Sorry for question, can you try to install home xperia and widget sony meteo on your rooted and unlocked motorola x force?

I have same smartphone but locked and not rooted, home xperia doesn't work :(

Can you try for me?

Many thanks!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Unlock and root your MXF and try it. Ii it still don't work simply unroot and lock again.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
ok, I have successfully unlocked bootloader.

I started TWRP (upside down) but I can not do the swipe of TWRP ...

Tips?

thanks a lot
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Keep trying until you succeed without forgetting that everything is reverse.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
touch not response...il try another twrp for moto x style....i only arrive on install menu....when i press on install, i move to another menu. i press on system but nothing work....
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Neraud:
I've just unlocked my Moto X Force, and booted twrp-2.8.7.1-clark.img. Thanks to the OP for finding this method !

Works great. It feels like a puzzle game to select the proper options and swipe ;p

Nandroid backup done and device rooted.

For those wanting an easier, step by step guide, you can take a look at the post about the Moto X Style

Instead of flashing the recovery at step 2, simply boot it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
I boot the immagine with fastboot but its still Block on swipe. Doesnt swipe

done!

many thanks!!!

noob question,

if i re lock the bootloader, my device varranty still alice?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Would be nice if you share how, just to save time for someone else and maybe even for you in the future.

Moto usually has hardware fuse which burns after first unlock. Even you lock it again, Moto can see that it was unlocked. Not sure, of course, is it the same case for Force.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
I simply did not understand what it meant to reverse! but when I read puzzle .... I knew I had to try a bit random! :) And I did!

So it could be that in case of re lock bootloader, void is regular?

w xda forum! :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
If Moto detects that bl was unlocked once, may refuse your warranty. I read that Samsung has something similar, like counter.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] lelez84:
I want to say to all those wishing xperia launcher on motorola x force ... you can do!

The apk crashes if the phone does not have root. in the case of root it all works perfectly!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] The_Blind:
Moto X Force getting rooted is great news, good job! I only have one question: in the steps that were described in order to unlock BL and get root, it was specified at some point to "not flash, just reboot"; does this mean that the phone is not wiped and data is not erased, or this will happen anyway? Thanks!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] damkol:
Unlocking bootloader do a full wipe. Booting twrp don't wipe.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] The_Blind:
I see, so since unclocking the BL is required in order to root, a full wipe is mandatory... Thanks for the help!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] nicorvienne:
hi, only unlocking the BL will wipe all your data!

[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
BL Unlock + Root, everything worked well! ANd also removed the WARNING Boot logo.

Had just a tiny little issue because of OEM locked when I was introducing the command. Had to go to Developer Options and ACTIVATE "OEM Unlockable"!

Now hope there will be a solution for the upside/down twrp and boot logo :highfive:

refedit - how you remove bl unlocked warning boot?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
Here:http://www.droidviews.com/remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-on-moto-g-moto-x-purestyle-using-fastboot/

It says for X Style, G and Pure but worked either for our X force

only issue is that it will be also upside/down :crying:

But still cooler than the warning logo
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
Just had a little time so I made this:

Use this instead, it's right way up: Download here

You can flash the file in fastboot mode (change to directory where you have put the file):

fastboot flash logo kinzie_logo_fix.bin

I would have provided a flashable zip, but that can wait 'til im done porting TWRP to the X Force. (Which will also be right way up then) :cowboy:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:

[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
after BACK TO STOCK or after update to 6.0? :confused:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
My question is, can you set camera, stock and third part to store photos and videos on sd card, do you have full read/write access to sd card with file manager (fx file explorer for example), etc. Of course, after upgrade to 6.0.

LP made really bad surprise making sd card basically useless for any third part apps.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
hum.. just went back to STOCK and nomore OTA notification..

will reboot a couple times and try
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
It's rolling out, you'll get it. Just noticed, EU part. Do you have device from UK?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
yep, from expansys
[Droid Turbo 2 General] evgeny71:
So, what seems to be an issue with third party camera apps? I've just installed a couple of them and took a few pics. They both stored them on my sd card . And of course the stock camera works fine. I am on 5.1.1 lollipop. And file explorers work just fine as well.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
he means on 6.0
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Sorry my mistake, KK made sd card read only for all third party apps. It's fixable with root access. With LP and MM should be fine but better ask then sorry.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] evgeny71:
Alright then.

Cose yesterday I got OTA notification when I was Rooted and after back to stock still don't have any OTA notification :confused:

EDIT:Did you guys with 6.0 manage to UNLOCK BL and Root device MXF?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jwgallardo:
I have the same question. I was still in 5.1 and migrated to 6.0. Then I unlock the BL and still waiting to root to know if I can follow this thread and what superSU file should I use. I hope someone can please update.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B934_1tz5sgXTEFWNWlGeDdvSnM/view?usp=sharing

Good question. Once unlocked, BL loader should be always unlocked but official unlock let us to lock again even Moto most probably know that was unlocked. In theory, Moto can upgrade locked BL to be unlockable but I don't think it will.

Getting root is another story, unfortunately after each Android update someone needs to find exploit to get root access but with unlocked bootloader should be fine.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
But do you mean I can install 6.0 OTA with Unlocked BL?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Not sure. It was possible for Razr HD. Only system had to be stock. But Droid Razr HD (xt926) was unofficially unlocked. If I remember correctly, xt925 (international Razr HD) could get OTA even with officially unlocked bl.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
In fastboot Mode it says: Device is UNLOCKED Status Code: 3

I assume BL is still Unlocked even after flashing STOCK :confused:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
That's normal, bootloader is like BIOS, initial firmware to check system partition for bootable OS. You may use fastboot oem lock to lock bootloader. Probably is irrelevant for OS update.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xadro:
With unlocked bootloaders, it's not so much a question of finding an exploit, but to make the su binaries work with the changes in framework. For locked bootloaders though, you have to rely on exploits, as there is no other means to access /system.

Apparently, chainfire is already hard at work to make SU work with marshmallow. You can have a look here. http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344/post63197935#post63197935

Be careful to follow instructions, and be ready for something going wrong, as this is beta stage. I haven't tested it, since I am not using marshmallow (yet). I'd rather prefer to wait a little until root is reliable. I also would prefer having cm13 over stock. But that is still far ahead, because at least for the moment it seems that no one else is developing for the MXF. :/
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
Were you ever able to finish porting TWRP to the X-Force?

[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Do you have sd card? If yes, plese check could you read/write on it. Like taking photos and recording videos with stock and 3rd party apps, use file explorer, etc.

I've asked that question many times already without any answers.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
You mean record and take pictures and save to external sdcard? Yes, took pic and made movie and both saved to my 128gb SD card.

Is that what you want it to know m8?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Yes, thanks. Could you test copying file from one folder to another on sd card or create file?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] refedit:
Yes, I was able! Did copy from Internal to SD card and vice versa and also able to create folder on external sd :thumbup:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I believe you but could you make new photo, check properties and take screenshot where is visible that is saved on sdcard.

Sorry for bothering you but many people get screwed with kk update. Better safe than sorry ;)
