[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
As an American, I apologize to the rest of the world for my fellow Americans that things are not the same around the world.

To my fellow Americans:

6P is SIM locked in many countries.

Google does not sell directly to consumer in many countries.

EE is a HUGE telecom company over the pond.

Please don't assume that just because us Americans are accustomed to things one way, that the rest of the world experiences it the same way.

In regards to the 3 network, I heard a rumour that only 3 sim cards will work on phones with their own phones and firmware.

This was true when I sold my old S3 unlocked to a guy that was on 3. I had to install 3 firmware before I could part with the phone.

I am over the moon with my 6P. It is great but I would like to get it unlocked and rooted for numerous reasons. Great bit of kit.

I found a way to unlock the bootloader and get root access!

First, uninstall all uninstallable bloatware. Next force stop SIM ToolKit. Immediately reboot to fastboot mode via terminal.

Next flash the stock rom using this method:

fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img

fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img

fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img

fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khazaad:
Device is locked and never been rooted. Took the 5.1.1 update and apps like Netflix and HBO GO fail unerringly after 1-5 minutes of streaming.

Somethings...

-Neither app actually crashes to the desktop. It crashes to the apps main menu.

-Both apps attempt to "redraw" (3-4 times in quick succession) after the player fails, then I can usually reload the video.

I have...

-Cleared data/cache

-uninstall/reinstall the apps

-did a full factory reset

ANY thoughts would be really appreciated. Not having much like finding any resolution here. Thx in advance

I have the same problem. I have flashed the latest firmware with Kies and Odin to make sure there were not issues and still Netflix stops playing as does Youtube, Plex etc...

I have spent around 8 hours trying to find a fix to no avail. I made sure that Display > Smart screen options were disabled. In developer options I checked Force GPU rendering and Turn off hardware overlays. I also tried and unending list of other settings to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Chris
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Go in to About Device in Settings. Does your status show "custom?" If it does, remove your SD card and transfer the files on it to your PC. Reformat the card on your Note and afterwards put the files back on it. There's a strange SD card glitch that occasionally causes the system status to show custom when it's not.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfelle2:
No my Device Status is Official. I tried using a different launcher "Google Now" hoping that a more simple launcher might clear things up but no luck. Netflix stops playing after a couple of minutes and youtube pauses. I want to be clear Netflix does not crash it just goes back to the menu where I can hit play again.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceblume83:
This fixed my tablet!

I may have found a fix. At least this fixed the issue for me.

The Back Story: (for you to compare similarities in device errors)

I have been having the same which started after the update. and my tablet has never been rooted either. I chatted with Samsung several times. They acted like this has never happened before and they kept saying it might be a bad wifi antenna. Which sounded like BS since I was able to surf the web and even watch youtube through chrome no problem. If I tried to watch videos on youtube, netflix, vudu it would reset as you mentioned. I even noticed that when I was using Polaris word it would erase everthying I had written randonmly. Samsung also tried to say it could be the app itself. Which I instantly doubted since the apps are made by different companies. I did the factory reset. I even took the tablet to Best Buy to have them do a system re-flash with no luck. I almost sent the tablet to samsung to have them try to fix it, but I had a feeling it was something easy to fix and I could save myself money.

THE FIX:........ I have no clue why this worked. If anyone knows why it worked I sure wouldn't mind hearing your thought!

1. Pop the sim card out.

2. Try playing videos on your apps. (Be sure to check a couple apps) It worked like a charm for me. I dont think I had to reboot to get it to work, but the fix stays after a reboot.

3. What you do not want to do is put the sim card back in because you will have the issue again.

- If you do put the card back in dont worry. You can simply remove it again and it will work again.

One thing to keep in mind.....I stopped my subscription on my verizon data plan. So it doesn't matter to me if the sim card is in. So If you still use Verizon Data plan and this fix worked then you should contact Verizon and let them know whats going on. Maybe you just need a new Sim Card. Like I said I don't know why it worked, but it did. I had data turned off completely so my device shouldn't have been trying to use anything other than wifi.

Please let me know if this works for you as well!

Thanks are always welcome!

****Please keep in mind that anything you try is done so by your own free will and I am in no way liable. ***
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfelle2:
It Worked!!!

Thanks very much for the suggestion. As it turns out the tablet came to me with a sim card in it. I never intended on using it with Verizon so I did not look. Once I removed the inactive sim card everything worked great.

Thanks again I really appreciate the help.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMinMI:
Hello all,

I just got 2 new S6 Edges on contract with VZN through BB. Before doing anything, I removed the SIM and fired them up to check the OS version. It shows 5.0.2 (AOE2). I see there is a VERY easy root for it (Ping Pong). They are now sitting in the box, ready for activation.

But I have some questions:

1) I read in a few places that the OTAs that replace 5.0.2 fixed some sort of bad bug / security issue, but it also prevents you from rooting it as well. Is that true?

2) What exactly was (were) the issue(s) and can I still root 5.0.2 AND then fix them outside of VZN OT (e.g., other downloads from Samsung directly)?

3) If I root at 5.0.2, is there a way to preserve it, then OTA up to a newer OS (did this on my S5)? Or am I stuck with 5.0.2 forever if I want to keep root?

4) If I root, can I still get Samsung Pay to work, or will that now fail?

5) I read Ping Pong does not trip Knox. Is that really true?

6) Lastly, if I root, is it still easy to unroot the S6 (remove a few files and reboot)?

Thanks for any help and suggestions. Just a FYI, I root to make minor tweaks, not to load custom ROMs.

This is suspicious. The MID noted in your getvar photo doesn't match, as it says 06PB10000.

Also, its s-off, which means someone may have modded the phone to change the MID and CID.

Was the phone claimed to be new and/or stock from the seller?

On the other hand, the phone appears to have the proper firmware for the 06PB10000 (international) version, which should support LTE band 7, according to specs posted online.

Are you sure you entered your carrier's APN info properly?

Does the phone get 3G data?

After going through days of Googling, asking people, researching, digging through XDA, fiddling with my own Ascend P7, I've finally managed to fit all the pieces together and make it work properly with the latest Lollipop update.

[Huawei Ascend P7] GoranH:
Followed the instructions. Worked like a charm.

Only exception was that I just did b839 update from the phone updater. As it gave me an option to DL and update from B830 > B839 as soon I turned it on at B839 step... was a 70-80mb update size, compared to the one you linked which was 1.3gb, entire thing.

Also what's the simplest way to root the phone now?
[Huawei Ascend P7] RejZoR:
Yeah, you can use OTA updates, but I wanted to be sure and decided for full versions. With OTA you have to strictly follow the iterations where with full versions you can skip those in between. But since I haven't actually tested that I didn't want to write about it because things might behave differently then.
[Huawei Ascend P7] edzjins:
worked like charm, thanks! too bad we can't get rid of the emui though.
[Huawei Ascend P7] RejZoR:
I honestly don't know why people hate EMUI so much. It has a bit of getting used to it at first, but after a week or two I liked it so much I never looked for any other launcher. It's smooth, really well and logically organized and simply works. The lack of separation between home screen and app drawer is actually pretty good. I just tossed less used apps in folders on last page and the more used ones on first 2-3 pages. Dunno, I really like it. Plus, it comes with tons of really useful features otherwise only found on rooted phones via 3rd party apps (the app firewall for example so you can prevent data transfer as well as roaming for individual apps).
