re: Bootlooping - root

Here is the step by step instructions on how to get your phone working properly again.

This link also has download links for everything you need to flash:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy...rmware-g928t-complete-untouched-boh6-t3198387

By the way there is NO cf-autoroot which is compatible with our phones. You need to flash a rooting kernel

which can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557

Before you can use the rooting kernel you need to follow the instructions here:

I have read the wiki and tried to upgrade my att 8525 through usb and sd. I guess I did it wrong on the sd or something, but I followed the directions best I could. Its just not going to work through the usb so I need someone to help me out on the micro sd way. Someone please be nice enough and give me some good instructions on what to do to upgrade through the micro sd. I have Windows XP with sp2 and active sync 4.5. The info I got on my 8525 is as follows:

ROM: 1.34.502.1

Radio: 1.16.00.00

IPL: 1.01

SPL: 1.11

Please help me out1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Methadras:
first flash HardSPL 2.10 olipro into your 8525... then get back to me here in this thread... let's take this one step at a time...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] austinsnyc:
all the info you needs is well written in the Wiki so if you dont want to be the n00b that gets flammed today i sugest that you go read the hermes wiki its super easy and all the tools you need are located there also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Khristopher:
Speaking as someone who's only had a TyTN for about 2 months.......the Wiki and these forums are the best source of information you can have.

Spend some time reading and don't be in a rush. The information is there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gt2slo:
LMAO, I HAVE READ THE F*****G WIKI!!! I made it clear in my post that I read it. I am no computer genius which is probably why I cant figure out the sd flash or extracting .nbh files. If you dont want to help, then dont waste a post telling me to read the wiki. If you know how to flash from the sd, why dont you just tell me how? I dont really want to flash all this stuff that you guys say to because I dont want to have a problem and ATT not honor my warranty because its not OFFICIAL. Will this hard spl v7 olipro void my warranty? Although, i do want to thank Methadras for offering to help. I just dont want to flash anything that I might regret.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ach2:
Almost everything on this site is unofficial - if you'd done the reading you claim you'd already know that. People tell you to RTFW so that you understand how to do something and also WHY you are doing it - thus the name of the site - XDA

DEVELOPERS

.

If you want someone to write every step exactly as it needs to be done I suggest you go to www.xda-Monkey-see-Monkey-do.com - it's probably more suited to your level of research.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gt2slo:
I am quite aware of 95% of this site being unofficial. But, there are some things that are official and that wont void warranty. I guess I mislead people about what I mean. I dont mean something that att has released, I mean something that they cant use and say they wont honor warranty if it breaks. As far as step by step instructions, I dont recall asking for them you smart a$$. I never said I wanted someone to give me step by step instructions. I cant figure out the extracting .nbh files. If I read correctly in the wiki, it said if you have a question, post it on here. Guess I was wrong about getting help here. Tech support chat on att told me to come here or contact htc for help because he couldnt help. It doesnt matter anyway, I give up on this site. Ill figure it out myself. Have a nice day!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevbodian:
You can flash anything you want onto your device: unofficial or not. When you need warranty help, just flash the phone back to the original.

Install winrar on your computer. Right click the EXE installer for the ROM you want, click "Extract to ROMNAME\".

Open that new folder and look for the NBH file (ALL WINDOWS COMPUTERS SHOULD BE, but are not by default, SET TO SHOW THE FILE EXTENSION!!!). Rename the nbh file to HERMIMG.NBH and put it into the root directory of your microSD.

Put the microSD into the phone and enter bootloader mode. Phone will flash.

DONE!

The wiki's section on microSD flashing is pretty simple. Not everyone, including myself, will rush to every noob (dont take offense, we are all there at one time) to help them with stuff that is written in the wiki. If you cant understand how to do what's written there, then it begs the question, should you really be using a device like this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevbodian:
to show file extension:

in a windows xp window click on:

TOOLS, FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW tab, take out the check mark for "Hide extensions for known filetypes".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Methadras:
then i have to be honest with you. if you flash anything that isn't at&t sanctioned, especially HardSPL then you won't be happy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mcorrie1121:
I was under the impression that hardspl does a supercid, which is essentially a temp cid unlock. If you flash the old bootloader then the cid should go back to being locked, no?

gt2slo, If you download a rom a folder should show up on your desktop (you will have to extract) with RUUwrapper.exe and a ***.nbh file. Simply run the ruuwrapper.exe with your phone connected and it will ask what bootloader. If you got the hardspl (which u should), choose 2.10 and check hardspl. Then go and it should flash.

If this isnt working, please post what error message, etc you are receiving.

Btw i believe the .nbh file has to be in the same area (i.e. folder, or both on the desktop) to work.

I've recently used the Google Play script to add it to my fire and loaded Moon+ Pro to use as a reader so I can store my books on the external card.

I like the reader except for one thing. I can not seem to make hyperlinks work. When I press a hyperlink within the book, it just takes me to the next page or options depending on where the link is on the page. I've looked through the options (and there are a ton) but can't seem to find one that will allow me to use the links.

Anybody know how to achieve this?

[Android Studio] DeathTripp:
Hello,

I recently started messing around in Android studio, and I wanted to emulate a specific system image;

Specifically, the Android TV version 5.1.1 image for the Razer Forge TV, but I've been having some trouble.

They state the image is available "to restore your Razer Forge TV’s system image or update it."

I would post a link to the image, but I can't because I'm a new poster here.

I simply made an Android TV 5.1.1 avd and placed the system.img file in the folder. When I try to run the avd I get an error:

'ko:Invalid cache partition image type: yaffs2 (expected ext4)'

Why is it a yaffs2 image type? I thought modern android only use the ext4 type?

My main question is how can I fix this error? Do I need to unpack the yaffs2 img and repack as ext4?

Or do I need to start a regular Android TV 5.1.1 avd and then flash the ROM? Is that even possible? I thought android emulated devices were not persistent.

Thanks for the help.

So I ve had this problem for quite some time and I haven't been able to fix it for ages.

I have a dual boot setup with a 4.4.2 ROM and 5.1 Temasek build on my OPO and whenever I call someone on the 5.1 ROM the screen never lights up again when the call ends. My only option is to hard reboot my phone. This doesn't happen on 4.4.2 though.

I tried flashing the latest firmware quite a few times but nothing fixed it and I really don't wanna erase all my setup.

Any ideas? Would be much appreciated.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TheHumansAreDead:
I just got my Note 4 and it's running stock N910PVPS4COK1. I'm unfamiliar with the ins and outs with this phone, coming from the S4 (Rooted, TRWP 2.8.7.0, BlissPop v4.03). I think I want to end up running the SAC23 Note 5 port with root access.

I want to do this right the first time, so I'm looking to get some advice from veterans in this area and steer clear of any problems / issues that I might encounter.

1. Is running the Note 5 port going to effect the ability to use Android Pay and/or Samsung Pay on this device if I head down this path?

2. Do I need to and should I, root and install TWRP first in order to flash the SAC23 Note 5 port? Or do I flash the port directly from Odin onto stock?

3. What is the best way to approach and what are the best versions / revisions I should be using? (Odin version, TWRP version, SuperSU version, SAC23 Note 5 port version)

4. In the SAC23 Note 5 Port thread there is mention of PMing for the latest version. Is v2.1 the latest or do I need to PM to get a later version?

Any advice through your direct experience with this phone and port would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Patch7:
Search these forums. ALL these questions have been asked AND answered. I just don't think a complete "hold your hand" is the right approach. Read, read and read some more and than make your choice. There is an entire forum dedicated to rooting your device. Just search and look around. Good luck!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TheHumansAreDead:
I have read. How else would I know the things I am asking about? The threads for these subjects were started at a time when a different Baseband was being used and things change from where you start from. I'm looking for succinct answers from people who would like to share their experience in this area. No offense, but basically you've added nothing other than a "Good Luck". So thanks for that, and same to you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] qubanaso:
If u know anything about android you need a root your device for any custom rom, as far as the new version yes you need to ask for an invite to the hangout for the latest version which is not 2.1, i believe android pay does not allow a rooted device to use it so its tricky, Twrp in my experience is the best recovery

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

The N5 port automatically brings SU baked in, you need to be rooted so root first and odin a rooted stock base suck as OK1 which is latest make sure to update prl and profile before flashing the port n5
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TheHumansAreDead:
Thank you very much. Thats exactly what I wanted to know. I will odin Freeza stock OK1 kernel with root support for a systemless root and update the profile & PRL before flashing the Note 5 port.

I was not aware that a port & a custom ROM were the same, but it makes perfect sense.

Your excellent point about the PRL update sparks another question. I'm on Ring+ and had to tweak my APNs to get 3G and LTE to work on CM based ROMs for my S4.

Are there APN issues with the Note 5 port like are found with the CM based ROMs?

Try this:

- Use Pocket IE

- Set the view option to ONE COLUMN

- Picture must be displayed

- Text size "smaller"

- Connect to internet

- Browse to http://news.google.com/news

- Wait until finish

The download/render of the page itself is not really terrible, quite fast actually.

But ... try to scroll the page, just use stylus and the scrollbar.

The performance is awful! Very slow.

I remembered that my HTC Magician is not that slow!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] srmz:
Performance of WM5/WM6 devices is in general lower than that of the old WM 2003 devices. This I believe is due to the "Persistent Memory" of the newer devices. I am prepared to live with the slightly lower performance but the peace of mind that all my data will not get washed off in case of battery discharge,

Just my view though.

I'm having serious battery issues that just started out of nowhere. I'm currently only getting about 4 hours of light use before having to recharge.

I'd like to look at what apps are using the battery but there are only 5 apps listed and they add up to only 27% (the highest is screen at 12%).

Phone is not rooted and I haven't loaded any new apps recently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] natefish:
I noticed this as well. I used to use Better Battery Stats when I was rooted, so I didn't know if it was normal to act this way or not. Sounds like it isn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kg_jettaIV:
Currently having the same issue. Seems like my battery started tanking right around Christmas. I got a Huawei watch and originally suspected that but turning it off and leaving it home for a day didn't seem to help. The battery stats on the S6 are garbage and I can't track down what is going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] akspa:
Been noticing the same issue on my G920A. I tried doing a cache clear, but that doesn't seem to have helped. I went through all the running apps and services to try and find anything that could be eating the battery, but nothing seems to be reported that adds up to the amount that's getting eaten.

I use greenify for handling the hibernation of apps when they don't seem to act right by themselves, but since the phone isn't rooted, I have to manually run this operation - and that really doesn't help much anyway. Figured I'd add my experience to this thread just as a means of documenting the situation.

Hi guys,

I just bought S6 and here are problems that I encountered:

Phone is unbranded, sim-locked, I performed factory reset too (soft).

1. Firmware installed is 5.0.2 and I wanted to update to 5.1.1 but there is no option in About Device -> Software update. This button is simply missing ! First time I see something like this

2. I did soft factory reset again, still missing.

3. I wanted to do hard reset but after holding up volume up+home+power and selecting factory reset option I get "No command" message and phone reboots to normal operation.

4. Smart Switch nor Kies sees my phone. Phone is detected by windows and I can access the storage. (I tried with all of the USB modes)

Has anyone encountered things like that ?
