[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
I was thinking about jumping to the iPhone ship for a while now, since the battery life ona android phones is usually a hit or miss (& you need some tweaking), aside that the iOS just works, might have some bugs but nothing that mght ruin the experience, but after samsung annouced the S7E, I was floored, mainly by the monstrous 3600mAh battery, then evrything added up (screen, camera, SD card, etc), i couldnt resist.

I never preorder phones, i usually wait until the first batch is sold out & any hardware issues are fixed, but i just couldnt pass on this one, & the gear VR just got me hooked :D, so i Pre Ordered even though i never held it or seen it in person, but if its close to the S6 (my brother has it) ill be as happy as can be :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Th3Bill:
See, I had almost exact opposite at end of my Apple lifespan. Last update for 6SPlus made messaging or calls stop working randomly during day...would need to reboot to fix. Then Spotify wouldn't connect to data. I was rebooting the phone 2-4 times a day. Finally just got to where I couldn't deal...and happily, the S7 had just been announced (we'll call it fate)

I got the regular S7. Arrived Monday. First 3 charges, battery was good, but not stellar. This current charge is at 38% after 17.5 hr. 11 hours Bluetooth streaming of calls (1hr) and Spotify (10hrs). Screen time of 2 hours (I'm at work, so not opening phone overly often..). NFC still on. I did no calibrations or any of that gibberish...just ran it. Only thing I turn off is WiFi when I'm not home and I deactivate "always scan" in the extra WiFi settings.

Camera kills the 6S series iPhone. Screen much better. Water resistant and dustproof are just bonuses. Only issue I've had so far was when I went with a "Material Black" theme and it caused some hiccups with messaging app. Using theme "Vanilla" now, and it's not eye-sore bright like the stock one is to me (I'm not a fan of overly bright/white themes), and haven't had the issue.

I'm honestly very impressed, as I had the G4 last year as soon as it came out, and it had a bunch of things that required updates...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cuebask:
I'm getting one and I'm happy as I'm still on s4.. maybe waiting a few years in between upgrades will make some appreciate the experience of getting a new phone again vs a compare, contrast social media epidemic that now comes with every single new device that launches.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Im coming from Oneplus one, and what i found out is that im not a fan of installing custom ROMs, i really value solid software, and Samsung delivers on that part,my bro has the s6, and he never complained once about it being unreliable. If you know anything about OPO, its software is plagued with bugs, ao i was forced to root & install twrp. And having to update every week to get some features working that were not working previous buils is a pain in the ass.

So i hope ssung delivers the best TW experience yet & keep it bug free :)

[XDA Assist] b0ttas:
Firstly, happy new year to everyone c:

As the title says, I'm considering making my own ROM for the SM-G731F.

I've lurked around XDA for quite a while now and I can't seem to find a guide that's able to clarify the process for me.

So I decided to make a post here,

The ROM I want to make should be something as close to AOSP as possible (for what I've seen, no Cyanogen or ROMs alike are available, so..), but my programming skills are lacking.

Even with guides about building or porting ROMs I haven't yet figured out where to start.

So here come a few questions:

1. Can I build a AOSP ROM for my Samsung device (AFAIK I need some base ROM right?)

2. Assuming that porting is not an option, is building a ROM from scratch a viable way to do this? (Even though my programming skills are close to none I've had some experience with C and I'm willing to put in the effort)

3. What will be the main challenges to this?

Cheers,

My main objective is to root the phone; as expected from an android newb. I bricked by phone, though this is a bit complicated than the usual.

Here's what I did.

1. Apply Kingroot One-click root (from pc)

2. Installed SuperSU

-failed to update

-- checked (anyway) root from Root Checker = FAIL

3. Tried

-- checked root from Root Checker = FAIL

4. Tried installing TWRP (Odin method)

(here's where things get messy)

a. Download mode (Vol up + home + pwr) goes straight to TWRP recovery

BUT

b. TWRP touchscreen controls do not work.

any solutions guys? I'd appreciate all the help! (And I'm also kinda desperate) :eek:

[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] abcs2:
Dear Members,

I would like to ask some help.

I tried to build Ubuntu Touch (Phablet) onto my phone (LG p880). Seemingly the kernel is working, because the recovery image operates perfectly. But the boot image is not working. The booting process cannot step over the bootloader. Only the LG logo is seeming.

Have somebody ever met similar issue? What can the problem be? In my suspect, the ramdisk can be wrong, cannot it? How can the 2nd stage be debugged? (e.g. via USB)

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards,

Csaba

4.16.1540.8 - http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe

then you can do OTA to Marshmallow 6.12.1540.4
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
Thanks,

even if I have cid = 11111111 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yes - 11111111 or SuperCID is a universal CID, RUU/OTA will accept that.

You need to relock bootloader before you run RUU because your device now is S-On

and you need a Windows PC with USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed.

If you're not sure about HTC USB driver - download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx

install then after uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC USB driver
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
Thanks

and another questions to be sure:

1) I get the device with 4.16.1540.8 installed , why i need to install it again ?

2) my device is s-on , does it affects on updates with supercid ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1. I don't know why - you asked for the RUU so I gave you the link. You should know better whether you need it or not.

2. No .. as long as the ROM in your system now is non-rooted (never rooted) and stock recovery is installed .. should be fine.

If you're not sure then run the RUU then do OTA. Before that you can try to update and see whether it will success or fail.

Settings - about - software update.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
when I try to update from Settings the device found new version 4.17.1540.9 but get the following message :

"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify your system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at wwwhtccom"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your getvar doesn't show any irregularity.

I updated my M8 also on same CID 11111111 and MID 0P6B12000

So I have no idea .. I first helped because you asked for RUU.

Lets wait if anyone else will come to help for other problem

[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] - if you are around .. maybe you can help to confirm whether this device is AT&T or Developer Edition.

I have a feeling this is an AT&T converted to DEV ED and re S-On

[MENTION=7179369]tapuz12ewq[/MENTION]

Another possibility is your device is a AT&T originally .. you also can install RUU for AT&T, only thing is there is no Marshmallow update yet for AT&T - you can get the RUU 4.28.502.2 here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
Thanks,

so I little bit confused , to fix it , which RUU are safe to install , 4.28.502.2 or 6.12.1540.4 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
6.12.1540.4 definitely won't work, you'll get error 155 unless HTC already fix the RUU.

You can only try either 4.16.1540.8 or 4.28.502.2 and I'm not so sure whether installing 4.28.502.2 will success or not because your current version is 4.16.1540.8

another RUU that you can try is 4.17.1540.9 - http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_446501_signed_2.exe

Or ... S-Off the device with SunShine app (USD25) then you can fix it with any RUU.

I got to rest now ... it's 3 AM here ... good luck
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
I try to enter to stock recovery menu and find on the top screen "android stock recovery LRX22C"

do you familiar with this id LRX22C ? can it cause to not get the OTA ?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
That's stock recovery for lollipop.

LRX22C - Android 5.0.1

LRX22G - Android 5.0.2

So which of the RUU that your tried ? I have a feeling that both will fail unless the device is S-Off again. The previous owner shouldn't change the S-Off status unless he put all the correct CID/MID to the device.

Maybe it needs the actual CID BS_US001 instead of 11111111 to get the OTA, personally I never have any problem with 11111111
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
yes, installed successfully 4.17.1540.9

thank you very much

i will try to OTA later to marshmallow
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
after I successfully installed 4.17.1540.9 from RUU

I tried to install the marshmallow update from by OTA but it failed with the same error :

"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify your system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com"

how can I install the next update ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
It's weird that the RUU can be successfully installed but not OTA.

So .. you can try this to install next RUU 6.12.1540.4

1. Download the 6.12.1540.4 firmware - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4jGj3SfskzMbzBtd1R1VHlmbVU/view?usp=sharing

2. Download the 6.12.1540.4 RUU if you still don't have it - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

3. place the firmware.zip that you downloaded in your fastboot folder then open command prompt from your fastboot folder

4.Put your device to bootloader/fastboot mode

Run below commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

You'll see -

if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

repeat fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

5. Run 6.14.1540.4 RUU

6. Done
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
can I instead move from s-on to s - off with the sunshine app, maybe after that i will get the OTA ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yes .. that's a wise move to S-Off then you can change the CID to BS_US001 then you should be able to install OTA whenever it is available.

Also note, this 6.12.1540.4 maybe the last major update as the HTC support for major update end by March or April 2016.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
BS_US001 also will keep my phone sim free ?

what about MID ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your phone is already SIM unlocked.

Change of CID has no effect on it.

No need to change MID as that's the Developer Ed MID
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
I not sure that it seem unlock originally , why the seller change to super cid ?

and you suspect it was at&t ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
So he can install Developer Ed ROM on AT&T device.

AT&T is SIM unlocked, same as Developer Ed.

I think you should try what I wrote earlier : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64619385&postcount=15

unless you want to S-Off first. And for S-Off you have to ask in their thread as I will not give any support on any question related S-Off.

I think that's about all that you need to know to achieve what you want when you open this thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
AT&T version would most likely have the AT&T logo on the back of the phone, like this:

Just back after a long holiday absence! ;)

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

AFAIK, the AT&T version comes from the factory SIM locked (to AT&T). I think the only (major) US version that comes SIM unlocked out of the box is Verizon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I guessed it is SIM unlocked because I see many people in Asia region have that AT&T device ... I guessed wrong.

So how is your progress ? Have you tried the MM RUU that I mentioned how-to, or maybe you already S-Off as you said you may S-Off your device to save all the trouble to do OTA.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I keep forgetting, we have seen several M8 phones on here that appear to have had their back plates changed. So the lack of AT&T logo is not a definitive sign whether its AT&T or not.

But that is largely irrelevant, as long as the phone has the proper CID and MID, its essentially been "converted" to the Dev Edition.

I tend to agree with the previous discussion, to change the CID to the proper one for the Dev Edition. You will need s-off to do so. But from what I've read on here, if the phone was previously s-off by sunshine (and it possibly was) if you install the sunshine app and open it, it will allow you to s-off again without paying the fee (since it was already paid once for this device).

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

Yes, I'm not sure why so many folks seem to get AT&T phones and SIM unlock them (I've seen a number of folks from India, etc.). My opinion, US variants are the worst ones to get for an international user due to the US carrier locks and other limitations (especially folks that mistakenly get the Verizon or Sprint versions). It must be due to getting a good price on these particular versions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapuz12ewq:
I have this phone only one week, and I want to enjoy it a little before i possibly ruin it. :)

I think soon i will try to s-off it first to make the OTA since the RUU way little bit scaring me.

Apparently it is not possible to disable write protect anymore since SU6-7 ?

Are there any other known work arounds to disable or even just lower the volume on the D.R.O.I.D. startup sound on these phones?

Last thread on this subject was from 2013 when pwnmymoto still worked on 4.2.2

Renaming/removing the ogg file in system/media is useless of course, the write is fake and disappears on reboot.

I guess a REALLY hard way would be to use the qload mode to somehow rewrite just that portion of the rom but wow that seems like a workout and a half.

Sure would be neat if we could get the QuickBoot mode meant for CM12 working on these phones as an alternative (http://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-quickboot-cyanogenmod-12-0-12-t3082041)

Maybe with an app like tasker, you could silent the phone automatically before it's shutted down. Actually I don't know if it's doable. But yeah, the qload mode is the way to go.

No more annoying DroiiiidWKQHGFPLT'zz. It's not that hard, but it takes so much time for a little thing... So take advantage of it to do all the system operations you wish ! ;)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ck_:
Yeah that's what the silentboot app tries to do - it mutes the device before shutdown so on startup it might obey the silence.

My ZTE devices work like that.

But not the DROID, it completely ignores the last volume setting.

Totally obnoxious.

Even if we can never unlock the bootloader, I hope jcase or someone at his level figures out how to undo the write lockout.

Hi,

For me, if it's in silent mode and media volume turned down when restarting, it will be quiet during the boot animation.

Yes, if you silence the phone before you power down, it will not make sound when you power it back on.
