flash TWRP then mount /system from within TWRP, then try using ADB, as far as I know stock recoveries never had adb enabled fully, only adb sideload. once you're done flash the stock recovery back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] d3mncln3r:
I wanted to flash a aosp rom for my gf on her galaxy s5 tmobile, but somewhere along the line I bricked it. I used Odin 3.10.7 to flash twrp. Then I realized I hadn't rooted, so I flashed cf-autoroot. Now It won't get past the Samsung splash screen. I can't mount the filesystem to my computer or else I would try to flash a rom with twrp. And I can't find the stock firmware that is compatible with odin (they're all zips with no md5).

Can someone point me to a stock firmware I can use with odin? Or better yet an aosp rom I can flash with odin? Or maybe I'm missing something completely. I have flashed dozens of roms with my nexus, bricked and unbricked many times. I am just not used to samsung/odin plus using windows is a pain cause my windows box is pretty old. Thanks for yoru help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] d3mncln3r:
Got it straightened out. For posterity: found the firmware at sammobile, flashed with odin, back to stock. Guess xmas morning is not the best time to try something new! Happy holidays everybody.

[P3600 ROM Development] mikhe69:
Hi all,

After discovered this forum I've started to flash my trinity like a mad man, with every ROM's I could find!

But know some doubt occur to me, how many times can we flash this thing, 100, 1000, 10000?? :confused: :confused:

Anyone can answer to this, because I don't want to be awarded with a brick :D
[P3600 ROM Development] Svenitos:
Only 7 times :p

I think you can flash the rom as much as you want. I don't think your rom chip will burn or explode..
[P3600 ROM Development] eXcape:
hi

for me i lost count of how many ROM's i flashed

right bro looool
[P3600 ROM Development] Benzin:
:eek: Like a cat ... I'm more than dead! ;)
[P3600 ROM Development] grega_slo:
No guys!

If you flash more than 5 times you WILL permanently BRICK your trinity!

Geez what questions some have...
[P3600 ROM Development] firiel:
There is some truth in that question as a flash memory's life is counted on how many times u delete and rewrite it but I dunno what the number is and think is over 1000
[P3600 ROM Development] helten2:
A few years ago I examined how times flash memory could be rewritten. A few variants could handle 100,000+ times and most 1,000,000. I believe current flash memory will be even better...
[P3600 ROM Development] mikhe69:
Well I did some searching and found this quote in some web site:

"Another limitation is that flash memory has a finite number of erase-write cycles (most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand 1000 write-erase-cycles for block 0, and no guarantees for other blocks"

Geez you are wright...
[P3600 ROM Development] Rudegar:
the flash of the rom like all flash have a limited nr of writes

but your storage memory is also flash it suffers the same illness

one have to be a pretty wild flasher to wear out the rom flash

before the storage flash it's being written to all the time

everytime you get data which is persistent

like call log

changes to calender , contacts changes or new ones

you write to the storage / to the flash

2 things save you

1 you can write pretty many times to flash before it goes belly up

your batt is likely to die a few time before and your device is likely to

get absolute before the flash dies

unless your device is partly defect that is

2 balanced writes

newer flash have an intelligent writing style which mean flash is only changed if need be and the same sector is not use too many times if it can be avoided that inc the lifespan by 10000 or something i have a prog which

can calculate the lifespan with balanced writes somewhere

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazeazn:
I'm currently using dual sims with AT&T and T-Mobile on my Z5 Dual. However, like many before have noticed, I am irritated by the fact that I can't set one SIM as default line for voice to dial automatically instead of prompting me each time. This minor annoyance intrudes into google now because I cant "voice dial" because the sim/line selection has to be pressed in order for the call to be placed. Lastly, does the regular Z5 has the big ugly Sim Card 1 Icon in the status bar? Mine has both, it takes up a ton of space and its irritatingly ugly. Come on Sony!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Xposed can remove the SIM icon.

A different dialer can fix default line, from what I understand (don't make voice calls so I don't have that problem lol)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazeazn:
I'd rather not unlock bl/root on a new phone so soon! The icon thing I can deal with the but dialer thing is super annoying. I'd rather not use an aftermarket dialer. On other sony dual sim phones the option exists!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackijumbo90:
Same problem for me. I haven't found a way to hide the 2 monstruous SIM icons.

The only way my phone makes my calls with sim 1 without asking me is when i call someone from my car. Opel bluetooth controller uses by default sim 1. Only solution so far is aftermarket dialer.

Let's hope they add a few options in LL update.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofeman:
I use true phone dialer, you Can set a Sim by défaut. It's the only way for the moment
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Nope, no SIM icon on single SIM Z5 (E6653).

Any chance that SIM icon display is configurable in Settings - Display - System icons, i.e. the same place you configure icons for battery/time/Bluetooth, etc.?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazeazn:
so a quick update: I upgraded to MM. Now there is an option to select which line to have as the default voice line! Also if you do the system UI tweak you can get SIM2 to dissapear. SIM1 still shows though, better than nothing!

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koubie777:
Hi,

I got my new smartband, Garmin vivofit and installed Garmin Connect

I signed in to my account, and try to pair back my Vivofit to my phone. The phone can find my vivofit via bluetooth and show the number that displayed on my vivofit's screen. But, it cannot pair when it comes to connecting to the device. It showed a red frown smiley. I tried and tried, it still cannot pair with my phone. What's wrong with it? Is there any alternative app to Garmin Connect, which can be used with Vivofit?

I tried my smartband on two other phones - Honor 4C and Xiaomi Mi4 and it worked properly.

Thanks for your help!

Reinstall Garmin Connect App

Make sure that wifi, aeroplane mode should be off in your phone while connecting your watch with phone. Because if anything from this is on then it act as interrupt in connection b/w both devices. If these are already off and delete the Garmin Connect app from your phone and reinstall it start connecting again.

Facebook push notifications aren't coming through on my phone only on my Facebook account, if I login on another account they work fine. I've tried to logout, login, reinstall facebook, clear data/cache, turned off platforms, turned off and on notifications, restarted my phone several times, cleared all online sessions. What do, halp plz
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishna442:
Only on your account?

are you running OOS? if so try disabling and enabling notification access in Privacy settings.(I guess)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewWorldOrphan9:
I'm on SGS5 and I know this isn't the thread for my phone, but I'm at my wits end and want a solution. I'm sure it's not the phone, but the Facebook account itself.

The deactivate/reactivate didn't work for me on my main account that isn't getting push notifications. Funny thing is I wanted to see if it was just the app or the account, so I made a new Facebook account to test the push notifications on that. Push notifications for the app work with the test account, but not with my daily main account (same phone, same app on phone). I have tried everything under the sun. I've tried the BB thing, turned platform thing off, uninstall/reinstall, cleared cache and data, removed every attached app, literally everything I can think of and/or find online. I think something is not allowing my main account to receive push notifications, like they're being sent to an old phone (which there is no other devices logged in) or some chrome extension or app/program I attached to my Facebook has ****ed it all up. I haven't had push notifications in probably probably 3 years, on my SGS2 and nothing on my SGS5 I got 2 years ago... Sorry for ranting, but I just wish it would work. Do you think my main Facebook account is attached to a very Old Android Device ID?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopzzay:
Mine started working again out of nowhere. I didn't do anything I just left it like that and one day I woke up and I had facebook notifications. It is probably a problem with Facebook itself, the only option is probably to wait it out
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishna442:
Facebook application is kind of headache. It didn't accept previous version of Oxygen OS. They finally worked it out. It is application's problem. Try installing previous versions. It should work in that way.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewWorldOrphan9:
It's not the app, it's the account. I know this because I created a new account and tested the push notifications on that account. The push notifications work on the test account, but not my main account. Same app, phone and settings throughout Facebook. One thing I did notice was on the test account, the Facebook ID (example: 18295175294@facebook.com) is greyed out under primary account with my email selected as primary. Where as on my main account, it's just my email under primary.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgil:
I have the exact same problem as you, I've also tried everything and nothing has worked, and I did the same experiment with another account and the push notifications worked with that other account, but nothing with mine.

I'm honestly very frustrated 'cause I can't find the reason for all this and no one seems to know what's causing it. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with some extension I installed in the past or something like that, but I really have no idea, I'm going nuts over this, specially when other people say they were able to solve it by doing this or that, but I've also done this and that and nothing works.

Reinstalling or uninstalling the Extension fixed the push notifications for your acct? I uninstalled the extension a LONG time ago, and cleared all connected apps and what not. I remember the old version had you actually connect it to your Facebook by signing in, but I could never "sign-out" and I did uninstall and the notifications never came back. The options page is just blank when I go to it > chrome-extension://gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp/options.html

Odin is v3.10.7

I'm stuck here. What do I do?

Did Odin in the first place detected the phone when it is in Downloading mode? If so, did the log say Added! Under option, did you check on anything other than auto reboot and F. Reset Time? Did you actually connect the phone with your PC using USB?

Hey there,

thank you very much for the great work!

Unfortunately it does not work for me - but this must be an issue with having a German Amazon Prime Account ?

Do you think you can enable settings to also include other countries for it?

Also different issue:

I now tried to use the amazon video application and browsed the shop via RF mouse and keyboard... but whenever I select a movie to play I always get the error: Amazon Video has stopped. So it crashes on me :(
[Shield Android TV Android Development] gottahavit:
Nice work, works fine here. Unfortunately no HD, or UHD. Fortunately I have 4k amazon on my TV but would love to have on the shield. Amazon needs to stop making money selling android and then hosing all other android devices. They are only hurting their customers. I have prime, let me watch it where I want. I tried a 4k firetv, it was garbage for everything but amazon video. This is why content vendors should not play in the hardware market... they get confused ;)

anyway, nice work. App works great.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] will.blaschko:
[MENTION=731834]nobo2k[/MENTION] I'll see if I can add German support to it, I'll check how the api I used handles Amazon.de. I'll have to add settings in the launcher app too. I'll try to add all the locations Amazon supports, but it might take a few days. I'll ping you with the update :)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] will.blaschko:
There are settings pages the Amazon VOD app manifest exposes that allow you to change streaming settings for video and audio (but I think it maxes at 1080p high quality). When I'm adding international support I'll try to expose direct access to those settings as well :).
[Shield Android TV Android Development] earl.grey:
It would be great If you add german amazon prime video. I would be eternally thankful. Will check this thread regular ! Thanks man
[Shield Android TV Android Development] will.blaschko:
[MENTION=3306464]earl.grey[/MENTION] & [MENTION=731834]nobo2k[/MENTION] the new APK should have support for Amazon Prime Germany, in theory. The intents and data seem to be working correctly, but I don't have a German Prime account to test video playback with. Let me know if this works for you, if not, we'll figure something out.

[MENTION=2143854]gottahavit[/MENTION] I've exposed the video settings page of the Amazon VoD app, it's possible to change the settings to "Best," but I think that's still just 1080p high quality. I think it looks better than the default settings. The link is below all the video feeds in the "Settings" section.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] DaveTheRave:
Keep up the amazing work

Awesome job, Will! You're definitely on the right track with this app, I read your full write up and I was surprised how far you've come in such a short amount of time!

That said, there's a few limitations to the current app and it would be nice to get an issue tracker going for this project (assuming you want to keep developing it!)

For example, there seems to be a considerable amount of Prime Video content missing, as the search seems to be limited to only the content displayed on the launch screen. It would be nice to expand upon this

Also I was curious to know why you recommend using the 2.0.45 version of Amazon VOD app instead of the latest 3.0.63 and version 5.4.3 of Amazon Shopping instead of 6.1.4.

If I had to guess I'm assuming only the older versions allow you to build an app like this but I'm wondering if there's any tradeoffs (aka newer versions support better video quality, more titles, etc)

Thanks again for the hard work!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] xaudiblex:
You have done an amazing job on this app! By any chance, can you get close captions to work?

I figured it out. You just have to enable it for one video in the original app, and it enables it for all other videos.

Also, would it be possible to add purchased videos to view in this app?

Thanks again!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] sidamos77:
Thanks for the cool idea and the effort. Unfortunately, it does not work yet for me (Amazon Germany, NVIDIA Shield TV).

The 1.1 version gets rid of the "wrong account" error message. But Instant Video crashes when trying to play a video. This also happened with some of my own tries of various Amazon Video versions (without your launcher). This may have to do with the Shield TV.

In the settings, I can only choose the quality for mobile or to use WiFi only. Also, the quality of the "SD download". It's essentially the same as on my tablet. I don't know, if this will be 1080p.

After choosing a better quality, it does not crash anymore on playback, but just does nothing.

Also, it would be nice to see my own watchlist in your launcher.

Another idea: Maybe using the official Android TV version (for Sony TVs) would be a better foundation?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] will.blaschko:
I'm taking a few days' vacation starting today. Please keep adding issues as you find them and I'll do my best to address what I can when I get back.

I used those versions of the player and store because that's what I had on hand, if someone wants to experiment with newer versions to see if they work better, please do and let me know. It should just be the VOD app, the store shouldn't matter.

I'll see if the Sony TV app has the same intents available, but it's less likely.

I can't add personalized content as is, because I'm not actually accessing your account. I could open the search function to everything however, not just free content.

I'll keep experimenting when I get back :). Would love suggestions.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] sidamos77:
Yes, correct, it works one time, sometimes with correct language, sometimes not.

Second time, I get the exception above (sometimes with crash message box, sometimes not).

So, it is something with the audio language, I guess.

When I use search to find a show, it seems to find the english version, although I have set locale to Germany in the launcher.
