[HTC One E8] Sapitula0521:
Hi there. I am new here to the site, so please help me with my problem..

I have an HTC One E8 phone and the unit is so interesting so I rooted it using kingroot. Apparently, the IMEI of the phone was "erased" after I successfully rooted it with the said app, making me unable to make calls or send text messages. I tried getting the IMEI on the packaging of the phone but it was tampered for unknown reasons (maybe one of my kids do tamper it! Hahaha :laugh: ) I also tried looking in to the solution myself online, and after a lot of research that I made, I found out that the best thing would be unlocking the bootloader first then flash TWRP and the a custom ROM so that it will work again. But, when I tried to go to the bootloader mode [pressing VOULME down button + POWER button] I got some sort of chinese characters, very different from the white bootloader screen that most of the HTC phones have. with these, I can't do anything else. I am so stuck right now so please help me with this. I definitely owe you a lot. Thanks for any suggestions. :(

NOTE: btw, the serial number of my phone is R21D95GAYVH. If you need more information so that you can provide me some solutions, I am gladly willing to give it anytime. :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnok1221:
Hello everybody!

So i've been sitting down at my couch watching some TV just responded to a message on my Nexus 5 locked the screen and walked away for a while to get something to drink.

I come back try to unlock it i touch the screen and horizontal white lines/stripes appear everytime i touch it and the touchscreen is unresponsive!

Ive let it charge for few hours as it got to 24% the touchscreen worked for a while and again failed. The phone is charging now for 17 hours and the battery is at 6%...

What is faulty in my phone and why did that happen? (Original Nexus 5 charger)

What should i replace?

-Charger and Battery

-Digitizer

-Whole LCD and other stuff

or is it a problem with the mainboard? I did check the contacts on all plugs they all look fine :/

Please help because im now stuck with a crappy lumia and i miss my Nexus, The display works fine but as soon as it gets to like Custom recovery or the android itself its charging extremly slow like it took 5 hours to charge 3 percent and the touchscreen every time i touch it creates white lines/stripes that flash 4 times and dissapear.

Ive seen one guy with that issue, he has uploaded a video about it just google nexus 5 white lines and its on the top of videos

Yes my warranty is already off, and yes i do have the ability to change screens and stuff without damaging things like i did with a LG G2 and some PSP's
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ch.esperado:
...While It was working at the beginning. Update to B006 doesn't bring any improvement on this bug. While, Nova Launcher rotate properly.

I ended to find the cause of this bug: I used to block some App to send messages in the Drop-zone. Tried to revert all in allowed solved this issue.

Hoping it will help.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ch.esperado:
But I still have some other bugs with "Intelligent cover" that does not seem to work (I tried with a magnet, and can veryfy that the Hall censor is working well)) and "Smart Lock" as well. (I tried the "Smart Unlock" application, that doesn't provide any help neither).

About "Smart Lock", i found no way to get the usual fields where you can set the blue tooth devices you trust.

And an other bug: I tried an app for CAR MODE. Had a warning that the 'default' application was set to "Android HwResolver", and found no way to change-it: the functions are grayed.

Many frustrating little details on this X2 (702L B006)

[Sony Xperia M2] ireaper4592:
i have same problem i flashed cwm zip through twrp then booted into cwm and done all wipes ie system,data,cache,davlik and then phone went off now nothing att all happens not even charging?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
It won't boot if you've wiped the system and data in recovery there's nothing left to boot up you'll need to flash ftf via flashtool and start from the beginning
[Sony Xperia M2] Quiche:
I've got the same problem, i built AOSP 5.1 and flashed it via fastboot (boot.img, system.img & userdata.img) and now the screen doesn't power on (bootloader is unlocked). I also can't get into fastboot/recovery. What should i do now?

This is the first time i'm trying to put a custom ROM on a sony device.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Did you update your bootloader? before flashing the custom rom.
[Sony Xperia M2] Quiche:
Update the bootloader?

I did it the same way i did it on my oneplus one, which is just oem unlock.

On oneplus one this updating isn't needed, how do i do it?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
A Xperia isn't a opo, it's sonys recovery partition you'll need to flash the updated bootloader through Emma sonys version of flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tospace2006:
Hi, I am having an issue where my phone is boot looping and I cannot enter recovery using power + volume down

My phone is the C6906 from Rogers and locked bootloader

I was on RockZ1LP using the DualRecovery rooted and working fine, I decided I wanted to go back to stock to hand the phone off to my gf since I have been using my note edge for a while now.

I downloaded the stock FTF and flashed it via flash tool. After that I haven't been able to boot successfully and have tried many different firmware versions with no luck.

I'm convinced if I can simply do a factory wipe it should work but I cannot get into the factory recovery. Anyone have experience with this?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iedafarha:
did you tick wipe APPS_LOG and USERDATA on flashtool ? you also can use pc companion to refresh your firmware
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorazrv3:
Your phone was rooted and custom recovery installed, why didn't you flash a pre rooted zip with custom recovery. That would have done the job.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tospace2006:
Thank you!! It's been so long since I touched my Z1 I forgot about all the proper procedures for using the flashtool. This totally worked

because I wanted the phone back to stock without root
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorazrv3:
What's bad about root? As long as your girlfriend doesn't use a app that needs root privileges all should be fine.

Anyway good to hear you achieved what you wanted.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tospace2006:
Some phones root can mess with OTA updates and whatnot, even snapchat looking towards blocking root users so I just wanted pure stock since we are long distance and I can't be there to take her through step by step every time work needs to be done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stargatesg1:
I would really hate going through the stupid evc today plugin example that Microsoft provides on MSDN. I basically need to dispay some text on the todayscreen from my application. Is there an easy way to do this?

On the smartphone I can use the owner plugin and set it to show only the notes that I can modify via the registry with my application - but for some reason all the owner information can't be modified through the registry on WM5/6 PPC edition.

Another quick fix for me would be to find a way to actively change the current owner's name and phone number or a simple plugin that will read a string value from somewhere in the registry.

Anyone can help, please?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalianoleone:
my phone is already set to animation 1s

I change launcher and now the problem seems to be less frequent (I install nova at the place of next launcher)

I think that the problem maybe depend by some app not perfectly compatible with lollipop 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keijikage:
I had this problem on my S6 and when I googled it, it seemed to be a recurring issue on Samsung phones. Poor insulation causes the radio to leak into and trigger the captive buttons in weak signal areas. What eventually fixed it for me was replacing my tempered glass screen protector with another one, as non-unrelated as it sounds.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusseldieb:
Mine never made that, even in poor/nonexistent areas... I believe that has massively to do with the production quality of every particular product. Some of them might be a little bit better fabricated than others.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin36:
Before you flash a custom recovery on odin you must uncheck autoreboot on odin and then once you flash custom recovery you have to manually turn of phone and turn on using recovery combo
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlanivans:
I have autoreboot unchecked.......but i cant manually tunr off my phone because it gets stuck on the downloading screen......then when i hold power and vol down it restarts.....after that i switch it off and use recovery combo only to see the samsung stock recovery
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Don't switch it off. Straight after it starts up after using the download combo move you finger from the volume down to the volume up button, then you should be in custom recovery.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McQueefus:
I would have to agree, the amoled screen looks way over saturated in my opinion especially when the brightness is turned up
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenithHammerhead:
I do photo & video production work, and to be honest...as someone who knows at a glance when colors are saturated or not, I do prefer non-srgb look. I think it's a mix of the Amoled display's deep blacks, the high resolution, and the color point. It's pretty pleasing to the eyes.

no
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riardon:
It looks really bad in my opinion. That sRGB on AMOLED looks way washed out than on LCD. I keep it default. Also it doesn't affect the battery at least according in my experience. I tested the "Basic" mode on S6 edge+ which is supposed to be the sRGB of Samsung phones and it looks same as the one on N6P and there it also didn't affect the battery.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquidas:
Hey. Thought I should flash cyanogenmod 11 into my mom's phone. When I did it, realized that Ace couldn't connect to carrier for some reason. Anyways I decided to get back to stock GB. I've already tried to flash maybe four stock builds of GB and JB (they were all from "SamMobile") through Odin, but none of them really boot up, I get stuck at Samsung logo.

Recovery won't work, even if I flash a new one through odin ( f.e. this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532591 )

Download mode does work.

I saw there was this 3-part GB installation file from a russian guy, which I should have used, but it's already deleted in "Yandex". I live in Lithuania, so I'm supposed to use SEB version of firmware. I was wondering could someone reupload it ?

I tried to fix Ace through Kies, but it says that GT-I8160 recovery isn't available for some reason...

Any answers greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galac44:
After flashing the sammobile rom with odin, if it doesn't boot, go to recovery (the original one coming with the original rom), and do a factory reset/wipe data. This helped for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquidas:
The problem is that even if I try to enter recovery (power + vol up + home), it stays stuck at samsung logo :(
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galac44:
You can try to insist by continuing pressing the 3 buttons for recovery even if the phone reboot. If you're stuck in a boot loop, you can also try to remove the battery to switch it off and switch it on again by pressing the 3 buttons.

For me the odin flash of JB rom + recovery clean up always solved the problem. I don't know any other way.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquidas:
Do the official ROMs (tar.md5) come with official recovery, or do I have to flash one seperately ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galac44:
The official ROM include an official recovery, you don't need to flash another one.

i too needed to go back to the stock from from cm11, because i cannot get wi-fi direct to work.

i flashed an xxmf1 rom, but when the phone rebooted, a message said samsung set up wizard has stopped, and i cannot get past it. this is even after doing a factory reset.

i went back to cm 11, and flashed the stock rom again. this time, the rom flashes in odin, but takes long to go from reset to pass, and windows now says hardware id is missing.

the phone goes black after the samsung logo, and cwm is still installed.

any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquidas:
Turns out I disconnected my Ace 2 too early (dammit). As soon as I saw "RESET" in odin, I thought it has finished flashing and I disconnected it before it goes into recovery and flashes everything. Never thought I could be that stupid. :D

Hi

So I have a lenovo A5000, I upgraded lately to lollipop 5.0.2 and it worked kinda fine ( with few bugs in wifi) but it was working, until they issued another update and I made it hoping they'll fix these bugs. In fact they did, but they ruined another thing, the most important thing which is calling.. now the phone can't read SIM cards, and obviously can't make calls.. I've been waiting for a FIX update for more than a month now but in vain :( can you please help me?

The update version is "a5000 s124-151118 8g row" (the actual one, the one that ruined the phone)

I appreciate any help!

IMEI Lost

Yours is an MT6582?? It is an older SoC with a lot of solutions already availble , check my library for anything of use : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4y1e/8EmB3askZ . I am a long time MTK/Lenovo starting 4 years ago with my first Lenovo on MT6582 QuadCore now I am on MT6592 OctaCore. When you say update you mean OTA update? ? Lenovo OTA is prone to cause "bootloop", black screen, softbrick in 95% of the case , you are one of the lucky ones who manage to update without those issues (albeit with WiFi/IMEI issues) MTK firmware structure is different from Qualcomm/Intel devices since it installs the modem drivers in seperate memory segment and will be reinstall everytime you reflash or do OTA and therefore bound to loose IMEI (you will have to rewrite the IMEI check on your giftbox for the number -hope you didnt throw away the box) Please visit Lenovo Russian Forum for firmware : http://lenovo-forums.ru/talks/ or http://4pda.ru/devdb/phones/lenovo for full Lenovo support rather Lenovo International Forum which doesnt help users at all. Please use Google Chrome with tranlator installed to vist Russian site.
[General Questions and Answers] oussema.bko:
Thanks for replying buddy :laugh:

Well yeah it is an MT6582. yeah it's an OTA update, from the update center in settings. I did update it almost 4 times before, I mean before upgrading to Lollipop, well the first upgrade was okay as I said with only few bugs, but the second one after lollipop was the one who messed the sim :(

I didn't have any problem from the ones you mentioned above, the phone boots normally.. but I don't know about the IMEI thing, how can I do that, I still have the box!

what do you think about taking it back to the provider, I mean the warranty is still not void, will they be able to get me back the original firmware(Kitkat) or the new working Lollipop... do you think they accept such things?

okay, I'll check out the forum for more informations :good:

thanks a lot, again :)
[General Questions and Answers] cracktech:
Sending back to Lenovo service center is the best option ( i.e. Lenovo official service center not an agent , distributor) You are still good on warranty ( within 12 mths) and you have not rooted it or open the covers.Its your choice , if you want to " learn" how to restore IMEI/ NVRAM for MTK you are welcome to try. ( If there is an MTK device in your future purchase) it doesnt happen on all MTK but once in awhile we at Forums do get request to restore IMEI ,some users succeeds n some dont when they fumbled on the method given.
