[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
you have to flash an ni2 kernel first i suggest just downloading the application for it just search ni2 kernel flasher apk
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
That's all I have to do?

I don't have to flash stock kernel before I get out if safe strap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
splash screen

I appreciate the help. I just want to make sure i do it correct the first time.

I had someone tell me " You need to flash the NI2 kernel first, then reboot. This should get you into SS. Look for NI2flasher.apk

You will also need to flash your build kernel (OG5) BEFORE you exit SS."

Is this the correct way or just flash like you said ..?

thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
Yup
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
yup your way ? or the way with the stock kernel ?

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
I mean they're the same way mine is just the first part but the stock kernel one

Here's what you do flash the NI2 kernel either by the app or in download mode with Odin or using flashfire then it should restart and you click the recovery button and it goes into safestrap then you flash what you want And flash the og5 kernel and restart
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
thanks for the reply

you bring up one more question

1 flash ni2

2 you say flash what i want? will i lose the stock rom?

3 flash the og5 kernel

sorry for being a PIA.

mark
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
Yes you flash NI2 then you do whatever you wanted to do in safestrap usually I flash Roms and stuff that's why I said that but you don't have to then when you're done you flash the OG5 kernel to be able to use the phone again and yeah if you flash a different ROM you'll lose the stock ROM but you can always just flash it back if you don't like that ROM or you can keep it if you like it its all up to you and may you're fine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
your the best thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
ok so i did everything.

but when i reboot it still does not go into safestrap..

it did go into it when i flashed the first one. then the og5 file. rebooted a few times still no safestrap splash screen.

what im i doing wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
you havent done anything wrong the only time the safestrap screen comes up is when you flash that NI2 kernal safestrap doesnt work on any of the lollipop kernels :/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtskir222:
so whats the purpose of saafestrap?

I have to flash ni2 to get to it? i do that everytime i want to get into it? can i still make a backup in it? can i use a back up i made from it if i cant flash the ni2 to get the splash screen to come up?

I'm i able to install custom rom ?

I'm use to my s4 and safe strap coming up every reboot ..

i dont understand what the point is if i cant use SS

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
yes you can make a backup in it and yes you have to flash the ni2 to get to the ss and yes you can use a backup you made from it i believe ive never used the backup function and you should always be able to get the splash screen to come up if you wind up hardbricking your phone some how all you should have to do is flash the boot.img and that should fix it then flash the ni2 kernel and go into it but ive never hardbricked it and yes you are able to install a custom rom using SS all you have to do is go to the install tab in it and install whatever you wanna install and and flash the regular kernel and youre good to go
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alixbot:
Hey so my question is I can get into safe strap via app on my rom but in the tutorials, I see people being able to do it via splash, why does my splash screen not show up like the rest? My specs are the same as him except I am using ss 5.01 :confused:

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

I want to be able to instantly boot into it when my rom is corrupt from improper flashing so I can easily restore and try again properly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veid71:
As far as I know you can't do that but if your rom or something is messed up all you have to do is boot into download mode and flash an ni2 kernel and it'll pop up

How can I know if a phone is used/refubrished? I just bought one on eBay and I want to make sure.

How can I identify fake/clone LG G3?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anik49:
Search in the forum here someone post some process to findout if it's reburished or not....also use cpuz app from play store to know it orginal or fake
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stransky:
There is an app on the play store "LG From" which you can download and it will inform you if the phone is genuine. It gives serial no. Etc.

Well, I downloaded CPU-Z and I checked also the resolution as you said, it's the same as the original, also the cpu.

I checked the red light when I turn the camera, it's also working.

Now for the refubrished thing, when I ordered the phone the battery was already in the phone, I know some eBay sellers say they check the phone before shipment, so maybe that's the reason?

I asked the seller to put lower value on package and declare as "gift" to avoid customs (israel customs are killing), I didn't pay customs but on the package, there was written "RMA PHONE" Maybe the seller wrote it to avoid customs? What do you guys think?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeyasamoah:
Hopefully, i would go abd buy mine today. Can you take screenshots of your CPU-Z Outputs? So that i could have something to compare with. The first two pages of CPU-Z should be enough, but if u wanna take screenshots of all the pages, i would be glad.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koloko12:
Ah didn't see your post mate, i'll do that later.

I have encountered something with the phone already, I have bad signal with it :/ it takes like 5 mins to register the sim on the network and then I get only 1 signal bar, and it drops randomly. the dbm is like -3xx .

I didn't have the chance to go outside yet because it is raining heavy over here (lol)

My house has a bad signal but this is really weird, -3xx dbm with signal drops while my old phone is on -1xx dbm without drops.

If anybody knows how to fix it please let me know. (I've been trying to go through the hidden menu and search settings for the RF signal but I am not sure ...)

Edit: I searched on the internet and it's common problem :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nyln:
I am ecstatic to announce that I have found a solution as of 2016! Please visit my thread describing the tutorial on how to remove firelauncher and use any launcher you choose without rooting your Fire HD device!

http://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-remove-default-launcher-amazon-fire-t3288192

I have been reading a lot of forum posts and decided to make an account here in order to communicate with you guys. I see you are all interested in possible modifications to the Kindle Fire, and as you must know the HD 8 & 10 models do not have a root currently.

I am relatively new to Android but I am really enjoying working with it. The only thing I do not like about the FireOS is the firelauncher (com.amazon.firelauncher), and I have been looking for a working way to remove, replace, or modify it without rooting (unless there is a way).

I found two methods to accomplish this, however it needs some tweaking. I think someone as experienced as you might be able to perfect it.

Method 1:

I noticed that the stock APK file, ("/system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk") cannot be touched as it is a read-only filesystem, but I can reinstall it. (I was able to reinstall a slightly older version of firelauncher successfully using "adb install -r -d firelauncher.apk" successfully by the way). During the installation there is a brief moment where it is deleted, and the prompt to select a different default launcher is presented, and works. Sadly I have no clue on how to prevent firelauncher from finishing its installation. I tried "reboot -p" to kill the device in the middle of an installation and various other things but nothing worked.

Method 2:

Like I mentioned previously, I was able to reinstall any version or a modified version of the APK. This allowed me to edit the contents of the APK and delete some important resources, causing the launcher to crash and switch over to the last opened window, I think there is potential in here if classes.dex could be modified somehow.

Method 3:

I was able to take a different launcher and decompile it, edit the package name from net.example.testlauncher to com.amazon.firelauncher, however I don't know how to sign it properly and the mismatch caused the tablet to reject the apk. This has REAL potential as a method, but it may be impossible to forge a certificate signature.

Edit: It may be possible to disable the certificate checking,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698352

If anyone is able to collaborate with me on this, we may be able to finally get rid of the horrendous firelauncher. Additionally, anyone who would like to remotely test things on my Fire HD 8 let me know and I'll setup a console or something for you.

I am attatching a previous version of firelauncher.apk, to install it (which there is no real reason to do so) type adb install -r -d firelauncher.apk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nyln:
I have been experimenting with modified backup and restore files, no luck there. I have also worked with sideloading certain files, and of course no luck there either. There might be some potential in the fastboot screen, but I am not sure which command to use to unlock the kernal. I will post a list of all the getvars if anyone will find them useful. I remember unlock_status: false but that is about it. fastboot oem unlock does nothing as it is an invalid command.

Either deal with the quick delay of the fire launcher, or just don't use a different launcher.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Provided:
Launcher Hijack works flawlessly if you delete the firelauncher. The home button will still work, but there are other side affects.

If you don't delete firelauncher, and I sincerely hope you haven't, then you still get the occasional delay like normal.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Asmial:
Well... but there is the problem that whenever you go home, sometimes, you see for a brief period the amazon launcher, making it confusing and weird. That thing made me return to the amazon launcher due to the trouble it gave me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mrchrister:
So.. lag or no lag? Do you still see the fire launcher when using adw?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sensboston:
Have you tried to read FAQ first, before "inventing a bicycle"? :laugh: This is well known trick for a loooong time, and discussed here, in Fire HD 8/10 forums many-many times...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Provided:
Yes I am aware of that now. At first I had deleted firelauncher and then installed LauncherHijack. This completely erased any lag or glitches with the main fire launcher, but had some other side effects not related to the launcher or the home button.

So my statement is now outdated and i will be editing it now.

Yes. I believe there is no way around this as of now without root.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smr1619:
About 6 months ago I bricked my lg g2 and bought a new one and was able to root it and added a custom rom. I then was actually able to fix my old phone and gave the new one to my wife and then I had to redo the phone and now there are bad spots on the screen. When you hit home it doesn't do anything and when you try to type a text and hit a certain letter it'll show one of the other letters around it, so you have to keep rotating the phone to get it work. She has different phone now, so I reset it to factory settings, but it still is messed up, I was able to root it with stumproot and installed twrp (which was very hard because where you swipe is the bad spot). I installed cloudystock 2.7 and the spots are still dead. I'm just curious if installing a custom rom could have messed with the digitzer or if it actually went bad.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
If it worked fine before messing with custom roms, then it likely got messed up from one of the roms you flashed. I can't believe you bought a new one and immediately rooted and flashed a custom rom on it...one would think that you learned you lesson from the first time...

I find it hilarious how people think custom roms are somehow better than stock since most are pure garbage with terrible performance and reliability - if they don't brick your phone...

Tot back to stock and if it still has the spots, then it's almost certainly a hardware issue and you'll need a new screen/digitizer.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smr1619:
First off, this wasn't the first time I've done this before. I've rooted all my phones and put custom roms on them and got a hold of a bad one that messed it up. I was just curious if a ROM could do that. I didn't see any issues with installing a custom ROM on a phone that I just got, like I said before this wasn't the first time I've done.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfan:
My last two devices both had micro SD support (LG G3 and Moto XPE). Was able to store all my files for my phone (ROMs/music/backups/pictures/etc) on micro SD safe from wipes, resets, whatever. Just wondering what y'all use (cloud storage) or to where on the device to store important files like that for quick access.

Are there any cloud based storage services that twrp can see? I think it can see Google drive files, but not sure. I'm not familiar with what all locations get wiped or are safe from wipes.

Not a noob as I've been unlocking rooting for years, but far from an expert at it as well. I read and follow guides and educate myself as best I can and try to refrain from asking redundant stuff or just start flashing like a madman idiot and breaking things.

Still trying to grasp the whole systemless root setup with avoiding modifying system files. Can get a little tricky I tell ya. Lol

Anyway, thanks in advance for any input y'all can provide on the storage questions.

Coming from LG G4 with 32gb internal and 64gb as card i was worried but all my music I uploaded to google music (see how that goes on the underground) and I am using Google photos so all photos and videos are backed up either mobile or WiFi or both then in google photos it has an option to clear up device and it wipes all videos and photos from device which it backed up. Would never use these services usually but kind of have no choice really.

My only my concern is with the photos and videos as I create photo books and also videos of each month of the family and not tried downloading the vids and photos from the web version of photos app yet.

It maybe that I plug the phone in the computer and do it the old fasion way ;) lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Basically, you have:

1. Local storage - I chose 64gb, enough for me.

2. Cloud - personally I use dropbox. They start you off with 2gb and free up to 20gb. Other places may give you more 'free storage,' but come with limits - like Box gives you 50gb free, but max file size is like 250mb...

3. If you REALLY needed extended storage on the go, you can get an OTG cable and use a flash drive, if needed.

I was first worried about the missing external SDCard, but so far I'm doing well with the 64gb internal storage. Since you can't trust external providers with your personal data, I recommend owncloud.
