[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkiFire13:
Redmi 2 have a public sign key, Redmi Note 2 not.

You can root your phone in 3 ways:

- Flashing an official developer rom via Mi Recovery (for root go in Security > Permissions > Root Permissions)

- Flashing a root package (for example SuperSU) via TWRP

- Using an app for rooting, for example TowelRoot, but I don't know if it work

Oh. I understand. Thanks for quick answer.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GSX_Dan:
So I bought a N920W8 from Bell (Canada) and I didn't put a bell sim card in it when first powered on the device, but a Wind Mobile sim(Bell store people didn't touch the phone when bought). I was all ready with my unlock code I purchased and what do you know? IT WASN'T LOCKED TO BELL! It worked on Wind as if it was an unlocked phone. Then I had an idea to put a Bell sim card in and BAM! DEVICE IS SIM LOCKED. Seems that the phone locked itself to the first sim card's carrier it sees. This might be different for US/overseas models that are carrier specific, but here in Canada all our carrier use the N920W8...same firmware as far as I can tell. I can change CSC codes without problems too, however I did SIM unlock the phone before I tried that to avoid any soft bricking issues that might arise. Pass on the good news!
[Galaxy Note5 General] imatts:
Weird that this happened. I traded my phone for a Note 5 a couple days ago, not expecting it to work with Wind at all (it was apparently unlocked, but I instantly figured an unlocked Bell phone would never work with Wind so theres no point in trying), well a couple days passed, and I said what rhe heck, so I popped my phone in, got the Neteork Locked Sim [enter unlock code], entered the unlock code, and about 10 mins later, it worked!

I was so happy that I didnt have to take the extra time to trade the note 5 for a wind compatible one.

I too have to N920W8 version (which is considered the n9208 here)

This is my first Samsung phone, ever.. Rooting it was... different, and the extreme lack of rom/kernel support is staggering. Any tips?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Well. First thing that comes to mind is that you've got some more reading to do. As most of your assumptions are just wrong.

But not to bust your chops, you have to know, every w8 Canadian model, regardless of provider, is essentially same phone. Difference being only in active csc loaded. Starting with this year, putting first sim in brand new phone determines your active csc. It is easily changed.

Where you might get some issues is for some providers options like VoLTE, you still need rogers/fido phone as they discriminate based on imei for those features, which means only phone sold by them.

More importantly, I have no clue how and why you would get that our w8 model would have anything to do with 9208 model (which is Asian dual sim)? It does not.

Our phone, is actually identical to tmobile 920t, with only one difference. The modem. Which for several generations has to be signed, and not interchangeable once set by samsung.

So if you need roms, kernels etc, look in tmobile thread, with Canadian specific install instructions.

Rooting samsung nowadays is the same procedure as nexus owners have with android 6+.

1.Custom recovery, root, custom kernel done.

2.In case of system less root, custom recovery, system less root package, done.

Lastly. Read Canadian thread in this section for some Canadian specific insights.

All the best.

Edit: And now you've got cf-autoroot since today. Easiest.

Hi, guys!

I'm trying to save my GT-N8000 for a while and nothing! I have USB Debugging disabled, my Recovery get stuck on TeamWin screen, and I'm able to use Download Mode, but my device is not recognized by ADB neither Fastboot.

I've tried a lot of solution the last months, but nothing worked until now. My last shot was to fill Odin3 3.10 with firmware files for PIT, BL, AP, CP and CSC. It finished the process successfully, but it didn't changed anything at all, my GT-N8000 still stuck on boot and I can't get into Recovery and the device is not recognized by ADB neiter Fastboot.

I have all drivers installed on Windows and it recognize my device each time I connect and shows that all drivers are successfully installed.

Any ideas, guys? I'm really exhausted and frustrated! Thank you all in advance!

GT-N8000 Not started, Not detected by PC... even Battery is removed.

I have a worst problem, it began after i upgraded to kitkat, but works for few months, and USB is not debugging enabled, by mistake...

until i forgets it on the power fro four hours, then i discovered that it is rebooted and rebooted and rebooted and stuck on the samsung icon, i took it for samsung to fix it they told it is motherboard, and has a price more than the device itself, so i took it from them, and tried to start it, it is failed to start after... i removed the cover and removed the battery for a minute, useless, i couldn't turn it again, i did all the things on the internet, useless.

The PC is not detecting the device.

The device is not starting on.

the battery is removed many times, and plugged again.

Even i tried to charge the battery using its poles by a direct charger on it, while it is un-plugged from the motherboard.

The device can't be start or give any power on the screen...

Kindly help... Thanks in advance.

I recently reset my LG G3. Since it rebooted, the display seems to be too clever for it's own good with its effects. The display fades out or shoots up from the bottom; when I enter a lock code, each letter seems to appear from underneath like a bubble etc etc.

I don't like it, but I can't find anywhere to turn all the effects. Anyone got a clue to help me?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] jamsoolee:
Full Disclaimer: I was offered a discount in exchange for a review, however, I still had to pay for the cable and will be providing the most unbiased review as possible.

Amazon Link for the Cable - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0176BSALG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Pros:

- Lengthy

- Durable

- No issues with charging/data transfer

Cons:

- Isn't a unibody connector like the stock ones from Google (not a big problem though, haven't had issues with it, just noticed it and I'm being nitpicky)

Summary: I've owned this cable for about two weeks now, and it has worked flawlessly. Many ROMS have been transferred and many hours of charging has this cable helped me with. I also slammed my car door on it accidentally and it just put a small mark into the side of the cable, while the cable itself still works flawlessly. It's an awesome cord that does its job and I look forward to using it. Anyone here should know how frustratingly short the Type A to C cable that Google has sent with us is, was a breath of fresh air to have all this room to work with finally.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bigdave79:
I also had a chance to compare this 2m type A to type C cable with the equivalent Google 1m version (got it at a discount) and so far I am impressed.

The cable came in fairly simple "no frills" packaging. The build quality is solid, though it doesn't feel as "premium" as Google's offering. However, it's also only $9 on amazon for a 2m cable (with free prime shipping) compared to $13 for Google's version which is only 1m. It plugs in at both ends with a satisfying click. The cable is compliant with type C spec (verified using the ChechR app). It charges my Nexus 6P at the same speed as the Google cable when tried with a variety of different type A chargers I had lying around. The data transfer rates are also pretty much identical.

All in all, well worth the price and does a fine job. Highly recommended if you're looking for a longer cable that will perform well and won't damage your device.

Just bought a 64gb Samsung evo Micro Sd card for my Stock unrooted 32gb Pure on MM.Just wondering are most of you guys running your Sd cards as internal or external????If I'm correctI heard Google play music has trouble reading music that's on the external. I currently have about 10gb available of my 32gb after using it for a month.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinmcmurtrie:
I'm using a 128GB card as external storage because I need to move large files between multiple apps. Internal storage is probably better if you're running multi-gigabyte games.

If this is your first microSD card: Google hates microSD cards because they compete with their online apps that provide continuous marketing data. Google crippled microSD cards in KitKat 4.4, forcing users to root or return their new phones. Lollipop introduced an ugly-as hell file browser that can, in a very obscure and unreliable way, grant an application permission to access the microSD card. Marshmallow allows you to semi-merge a microSD card, with warnings that you're slowing down your phone, or stay with the Lollipop permission method. Also in Marshmallow, microSD storage has a new file path that changes whenever the card is reformatted or replaced.

Yeah, I've replaced the ****ty Google apps with offline apps. Thank you Moto!

Answering my own question . . . on my phone, with the SD card set to external, under Advanced Settings \ 'Choose music download location' , Rhapsody gives me two recommended options. The first option, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.rhapsody.files didn't work. The second option, /storage/0000-0000/Android/data/com.rhapsody.files does work. The downloaded music files show up there and play in Rhapsody on the phone without issues.

If you've not been doing anything with it connected to a computer to install things I think you've accidentally pressed volume down when pressing the power button to turn it on.

If so press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on with hands away from volume controls.

[Android Apps and Games] p3lim:
I've been looking around for something like this, but I cannot find a single app (or multiple that'll work together) that'll do this for me.

Basically, an FTP server that will automatically start/stop based on conditions.

The specific conditions I'm after is if my phone is both charging and connected to WiFi.

Bonus if I can specify charging method (AC/USB/wireless) and the network(s) (SSID/MAC).

If something like this already exists, please let me know, no need to reinvent the wheel (and spend a lot of time learning app programming).

Also, this is probably not the correct sub-forum to post this in, please move this (and rename title even) if needed.

I cant seem to find my way to FULLY wipe when I want to flash or try a new ROM. I just installed an RRO that resulted in SystemUI crash, I then went to reflash the ROM, same results. Decided to WIPE in TWRP and reflash the rom, the SystemUI FC is still there ! Wipe, Flash ROM, then Wipe, same result...Any help ? What's wrong with my TWRP ? Im on the latest.

I just restored an old backup, and I have the same FC of system UI !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
TWRP doesn't wipe the vendor partition where the layer is kept. You have to manually mount the vendor partition in TWRP then use TWRPs inbuilt file browser to go into the overlay folder and delete the layer files, this will stop the System UI FCs

There are also flashable stock vendor partition files available in some of the threads in the Android development section (can't remember where exactly) flashing them will restore it to stock.

Finally, you can fastboot flash the whole stock ROM from a pc and this will also remove them.

Deleting them using TWRP is probably the easiest.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrallyx:
Hi all :)

More than a month ago I sent my z3c to assistance because the magnetic charger sideburn was unsticking.

It came back a week later with a new one, all was perfect looking. But then a new problem appeared.

In the next days people started telling me that my voice was too weak during calls. I decided to check and have some tests. I found that my the voice at the other side of the call was really too weak and too low, not consistant, with interruptions, and that when i try to activate the speaker, it gets even worse. They can hear a loud background noise and the return of their voice, plus others rumors, with the result that having a normal call is almost impossible.

Since that moment, I already sent my phone twice to the service summing up to 4 times, (the first was this summer for the sim flap which couldn't close). I'm sending them emails every time explaining the problem; once they made an electrical fix, the second time they changed the logicboard, but the problem is still there.

I'd like to know if some of you has or had the same problem and how they fixed it. I asked to change mine with another but it seems like they don't want to.

It's always been stock, i don't think another rom could fix the problem

I want my phone operative... I even had to buy something else in the meantime otherwise i would have been for more than a month without a phone (I bought a OPX :))

Thank you for the attention :)

Hi, i really like the idea of combining your wallet with your smartphone usually of the solution is this:

[IMG="wallet case"]https://www.twelvesouth.com/uploads/images/gallery/BB_iPhone4_Gallery_14.jpg[/IMG]

But I tried it and I don't like this book flip flop for so many reasons..

So I've seen this genius video for how to make the good kind of wallet case:

https://youtu.be/sjY6oj-WmYE

But the main thing I want is missing.. A transparent window for ID card..

I couldn't find any wallet in my house that have that.. Plus it looks pretty bad doing it your own ;)

So I've searched for some sticky self adhesive one like this little guy:

But those trilions of types always have the same ONE pocket for ONE card and its not TRANSPARENCY..

I'm sure there are other people who wish for such a thing too..

Any one ever seen such a thing?

A self adhesive wallet case with 2-3 card slots and 1 of them is transparency?

Thanks alot ahead..

Hey guys. Bought an LG G3 off Amazon and turns out it had been put on BOOST network. I've re-imaged it first with LS990ZV4_04.51101.tot and also tried LS990ZVA_00.tot. I'm not making any progress getting the Sprint stuff back on. I get it booted up but it's now on the "LG" network and can't get it onto Sprint. No LTE, but can get wifi going so it does some downloads.

I guess I'm doing the wrong stock rom though this is what I came up with after researching. Can someone please point me to the right stock rom for the Sprint LG G3 LS990? I'm trying to get it back onto their network. My next attempt is/was going to be putting Cyanogen on it and seeing if that gets me anywhere closer.

As for getting back to Sprint. You will need your MSL and do dialer code ##RTN#. You can find that info stickied in General.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L0x:
I thought I could buy the v10 through Tmobile without a contract. Pay full price but the person on their chat told me it wasn't possible. So, Im looking for suggestions as to the best options to buy the phone w/o contract and with some type of warranty.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
You can buy the phone from T-Mobile without a contract but you do need a plan.

Just talk to a different person imo.

If all else fails you can purchase it with a cheap pay as you go plan.

The cheapest I think is $3 for 30 min.

You however will have quite a few hurdles to jump through to get it unlocked from T mobile.

They require at least $100 to be spent on your account and 40 days of active service to unlock it.

You can get around those if you are lucky, some people have not been able to.

If you can do without warranty, your best option may be to use a service like swappa.com

You can buy new and used phones from people there.

Just make sure to check the condition of the phones before purchasing, also note if they are unlocked or not if you will be using a service other than T mobile.

If you must have a warranty of some kind, there are after purchase options available from places like squaretrade, however they are more expensive than I personally think they are worth.

Good luck finding your new phone.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeLorean623:
I got mine from AT&T right after the release. I spent a bunch of time on various chats until I got someone who told me that I could get the phone unlocked within 3 to 5 days after purchase. Added to cart with the cheapest plan & ordered.

AT&T auto-activated the phone when it showed delivered. As I am using the phone in Europe on Vodafone, this was a problem. It took, all said and done, probably 8 hours across a month and a half on chat, twitter, and phone calls to get AT&T to send me the unlock code, cancel the plan, and wipe the account balance to zero. Unlock code was immediate, the rest took the longest. I didn't mind harassing them very much because I had my unlocked phone.

After it was all said and done, I have the AT&T variant with an unlock code, running on Vodafone, with nothing paid to AT&T except the cost of the phone. It takes time, persistence, and patience to make it happen.
