[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nako1337:
Hi Guys,

my Problem is that i buyed my father a new phone. he lives in turkey and if you want to use a phone longer than 1 month in turkey you must register it. otherwise they block your imei and you cant use the phone. so i want to change the imei from the new phone to the old one what is registered, otherwise my father must pay about 150€, and thats not okay. i bought the phone in media markt germany and i got the receipt. i think its not okay that you have to pay that money to the state, if you buy a new phone.. thats crazy and much money for nothing. the older phone is a galaxy s2 what has a registered IMEI and i want to change the IMEI of the new phone to the older ones, that he doesnt have to pay for the new phone. so my question, can i do a EFS backup of the galaxy s2 and restore it on a galaxy s5, is it possible? or is there another way to change the IMEI of the phone? in my opinion its not illegal in that way, cause i got the receipt and the original boxes of those phones. i am from germany so excuse me for my school english, i hope you know what i mean.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
In a word.......no

The IMEI is a number that is unique to every cellphone. In many countries, altering this number is against the law. If anybody here on XDA gives you information on how to do it, they'll be breaking XDA rules too.......

Sorry fella....no help on this site.....

Hi guys, massive noob when it comes to phones.

My mother got a s4 which is locked to a specific carrier, me thinking a reinstall of android will fix the problem just finds a online way of doing it and managed to break it....

now I cant boot it back up normally and the recovery screen doesn't boot, only the download screen does.

This is what I'm doing. As you can see that re-partition is unchecked but it tried to re-partition anyway. Please help.

It's coming, as to when, well, your guess is as good as anybody's. I tweeted [MENTION=5714897]NvidiaShield[/MENTION] and the response was "you know we always have something cooking".

I can't wait for marshmallow too! I've been searching for ways to move apps 100% to the microSD card but so far nothing works! :(

I've tried all the apps 2 sd apps on Google Play and I even tried this:

XInternalSD

This module changes value (path to internal SD card) in some Android APIs which apps use. Control this path in module's settings. You can enable this module for all apps or only for specific apps. Also you can enable full access to external SD card (for KitKat+)

New version will also bring you a lot of problem. It is just a TV, the current system is good enough for me.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equinox2355:
Based on what? That's like saying, "If you go outside, you're just going to die".

Some people just "talk" to hear themselves "talk".

There might be bugs/issues when it comes out, but overall newer versions tend to bring new features. More importantly, security patches are usually in newer versions too.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grippen50:
Sorry but he has a point. Still today I don't understand the need for new OS versions every 6 months. New OS will bring new features but also new bugs to be corrected. It's not like google makes HW specific OS. For example Minix already said they won't upgrade their Android base because they have a very stable, bug free SW and do not want to risk having to solve lots of bugs. Then again no one forces you to update, simply don't click the button :D

Nevertheless he has some point and they should focus on contacting app developers to support the Android TV a bit more because the amount of supported apps is just ridiculous in my opinion, specially considering the tremendous potential of Shield's HW.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjiHansell:
I shockingly found myself gently forced to update by Nvidia. The update popup appears annoyingly frequently and that was the main reason why I updated from V1.3 to V1.4. I do like updates I just didn't want to go through the hassle of re-rooting.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0vash0o:
is there any news for new update? thanks
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakknar:
Nope. They will release it when it's ready. It makes no sense to rush a ROM deployment if it doesn't bring anything new over the past release and if it's not as stable. If they would do such a thing, the discussion over this board will turn into "Why doesn't nVidia care about their users and release crappy updates!!??!! Let's boycott them!!@"!"!" :p
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Hey guys,

i'm in trouble installing a custom ROM on a S4 Active (GT-I9295, Baseband IXXUDOB4, 5.0.1).

Flashed CF--Autoroot with Odin, no problem.

Then i flashed TWRP, Odin showed its green "PASS!"-message but i can't boot into recovery.

I'm well aware of the timing issue when doing the first reboot into a custom recovery, and i assure you this isn't the problem.

I tried countless times, after a while i installed ROM manager to try if i could flash the ROM file that way.

It installed another custom recovery -CWM- on top, and also showed up the TWRP recovery:

http://imgur.com/kSSiuld

Still, booting into any recovery does not work, neither from ROM managers menu or via any button-press combination.

When pressing vol up+home+power, the phone shows the blue "revovery loading"-line AND the red line *****ing about the root, but continues to boot as if it had been switched on normally.

I even looked for the ominous "install-sh" script in system/etc to understand why nothing gets me into recovery-

what the heck can this be?!

Did the same thing to S6 and S5 without any hassle, i'm stuck with this for several days now and i am running out of ideas.

Anyone...?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fez10:
Not a very technical answer, but have you tried pulling the battery out for 30 seconds and trying again?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Yes we did, unfortunately, this also didn`t help.

Tried loads of things actually, still impossible to access that damn recovery :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reid_only:
Hi!

I am working with a brand new Samsung Tab A 9.7" SM-T550. The first thing I did was root the device using Ashyx's instructions and files.

(http://xdaforums.com/android/development/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-9-7-sm-t550-t3126827)

This seemed to go fine and root was verified, however while running the verification program the device spontaneously rebooted. As I put the device into service, I noted this happened several more times - perhaps once per hour of use or more.

A search of XDA and the internet in general suggested that I do a factory reset and / or wipe the cache. I booted into recovery and performed a factory reset. I do not recall if there were any errors at this time. Putting the device back into service it seemed as though the problem was fixed, however this lasted less than 1 day and the spontaneous reboots returned.

At this point, I attempted another factory reset and noted this error and this output:

-- Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sbfs...

E: unknown volume for path [/sbfs]

E: unknown volume "/sbfs"

-- Set Factory Reset done...

-- Copying media files...

-- preload checkin...

Data wipe complete.

I attempted the factory reset again with the same result.

In an attempt to restore whatever is missing and causing this error, and perhaps causing my reboot problem (a stretch, but admittedly I'm in over my head and just guessing at this point), I decided to flash the Stock recovery.

I booted into download mode and, using Odin with the stock recovery which was provided in Ashyx's original post in the AP field, I flashed.

I again attempted the factory reset to see if it eliminated the error (unknown volume "/sbfs"). It did not. I then attempted to wipe the cache and found the following errors and output:

E: Table length: 170

E: Verify signature...

E: signature verification is successful.

dm-verity verification failed...

-- Wiping cache...

Formatting /cache...

Cache wipe complete.

So questions:

Having flashed the stock recovery, I have lost root, right?

Any thoughts on what these errors mean, if they should be of concern or how to remedy them?

Any thoughts on if the autoreboot problem is related to the errors, and / or how I might fix the original problem of rebooting?

Thanks in advance!

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibliothekar:
Greetings and all that.

As a hand-me-down, I got my sister's old Motorola Razr i. Now, my idea was to install Hazou's unofficial Cyanogenmod on it, since Motorola doesn't seem to provide updates any more. The device is factory reset, bootloader unlocked, zip in the SD-Card's root ... but when I want to install, it aborts after verifying. Haven't done this before (better brick an old phone than a new one), so maybe I missed something. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Current Android version: 4.1.2

Current Kernel version: 3.0.34
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd1989:
I use CWM Recovery v6

You should try to toggle signature verification (for me it's under "install from zipfile" -> toggle signature verification. That worked for me a few times.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciberbeb:
[MENTION=7721670]rhd1989[/MENTION]: this can be a bad idea, and could brick the phone.

[MENTION=7177473]Bibliothekar[/MENTION]: do you have an error message? what recovery are you using TWRP?

If the flashing is constantly failing, you'd better download the zip again, check its md5sum and retry to flash.

I can't able to connect my phone using ADB it just installing driver "mot single adb interface" instead of "fastboot ghost s"... So anyone please help me to come out of this problem..

there are no cracks just a black blemish. its only small like quarter of the size of a 3.5 mm headphone input but its very noticable.

Does anyone know what this is? how to fix? etc.... if you need me to email the pic thats no problems.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
Funnily enough I noticed exactly the same on my day old Edge plus last night.

It looks like a small grey smudge and only really shows against a light background.

It's right by the bezel and about the same height as the camera icon on the lockscreen.

I didn't notice it the first day I had the phone but that doesn't mean it wasn't there, today my second full day with the phone I've not noticed it till I read this thread so I think I'll live with it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojox86:
Thanks for the reply.

Someone told me it's screen bleeding?

The phone was a gift for Christmas but I don't have the repciet, any ideas if because it's under Samsung warranty they would replace the device or fix it? I'm not to sure how the warranty works with Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
I don't know what it is but on my phone it's so small I doubt anything would be done about it under warranty.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojox86:
OK.

I'll call Samsung today and see what they say. Even though it's small it shouldn't be there and could get worse over time so I'd rather act now than later.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojox86:
They said to take into my local carphone warehouse store and they will do the repair as it's under warranty. They said it could be done same day or 2 days maximum. If I had the repciet I could get a like for like exchange but because I don't it will have to be a warranty repair.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
I got mine on the internet so don't want to be without my phone for ages.

Wonder if Carphone Warehouse would repair mine as well ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojox86:
Should do buddy. Mine was purchased online as well. So samsung said that carphone warehouse do warranty repairs and obviously carphone warehouse are then paid by Samsung for the fix. The other option is the intercity samsung repair centre but the nearest one to me is miles away so carphone warehouse would be easier. If samsung fixes it direct they said it will take 7-10 days in total.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
I've emailed Sammy.

There's a Carphone Warehouse about 5 mins from my house so hopefully they'll do it there.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
Just as an update.

I decided to let it go and not bother with getting it repaired/replaced.

It's so minor I go days without noticing it unless it's on a white background and the annoyance of a tiny blemish is less than the inconvenience of losing my phone for a while.

Samsung to their due were very helpful, they replied to my email on New Years day and created a case for me as well as giving me all my options, can't fault them tbh.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibbster:
Another new update:

I decided to live with the smudge until I noticed it was darker yesterday.

Took it into the Samsung shop in Bristol with a copy of my email from Samsung and left it there last night for repair.

Got an email this morning saying my Edge plus is repaired and ready for collection.

That's very quick service!

Will collect it tonight and go over it with a fine toothcomb to see if it's been properly repaired and looked after, but so far no complaints!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] personic:
Hey!

I was trying to find this problem all around, but no luck. So I'm setting up new thread. Hope not to get redundant:)

A never rooted S4 mini died for no reason. In the morning we found it powered off and it couldn't be charged, other battery didn't help, nothing.

Long story short I managed to wake it up after complete dissassemble and playing with the battery connectors.

Now it starts up, but after the Samsung Logo it reboots = boot loop.

When I try to enter recovery, it tries to enter (I can see the blue "recovery booting"), but reboots immediately again.

The only thing that works is Download Mode.

So I used Odin to flash all CWM, PhilZ and TWRP subsequently. I got a bit further: in recovery mode it says "No command", then the usual "# MANUAL MODE #" etc and after few seconds it reboots again. So I still can't use recovery.

Does this all mean that the internal SD is fried?

I just need to recover the photos, that's all...

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j-tech:

anything else i can try?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slashbane:
Hello,

I recently bought an S5 Active off of Ebay and I'm using the bring your own phone plan on cricket wireless. Currently my phone is on 4.4.2 kit kat, and I know that lollipop has been released for a while, but my phone tells me that it is up to date. Is there any way I can update? I'm completely new to the world of ROMS and all this other stuff, so any help would be appreciated!

I asked this question on toms hardware and got a response saying

"definitely do not upgrade your phone over the air if you have 4.4.2 and it is a galaxy s5.

s5's that are on 4.4.2 kitkat are not bootloader locked and are highly desireable in aftermarket sale. your best bet if you "want" lollipop is to root and do a custom rom like cyanogen 12/13. i think there is even a 6.0 marshmellow rom too.

otherwise if you upgrade to stock over the air 5.0+ you will be bootloader locked, unable to ever revert back to kitkat, and unable to root and do a custom rom. 9 months later and nobody has cracked the bootloader and at this point it is likely nobody ever will with 6.0 marshmellow around the corner.

because of that your phone is probably worth $50-100 more than a 5.0+ s5 for that reason... there are those out there that would love to get their hands on your phone and root it and will pay more since you are still on kitkat and fully unlocked."

Honestly, I have no idea what that means so if anybody could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
