[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinkerz9430:
No. I didnt. Okay i though it was a lost cause. Here is what happened, somehow my EFS folder got erased, and my imei and S/N were gone along with it. After you lost those 2 essential things every company turns their back on you. So, it is either you fix it by buying one of those boxes that fix imeis and networks related, or buy a new logical board on ebay; or just give up and proceed to buy a new phone. However, even though i saw that my imei was null, and my S/N was also gone, Having no backups of EFS, I was at the edge of giving up. Until i decided to do the following: I installed the firmware that came with the phone. which it was a 4.4.2 version. Then i upgraded it to 5.0. And..... Everything was back... however my IMEI is not the same that came with the phone. Which is kind of odd. How did i get a new IMEI by just goning back and for between upgrades? Who knows.... Anyway, now I have full bar as its supposed to be. And currently 4g. (There was another thing i did but i will refrain from telling, since it isnt that interesting)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Very strange, but good news it's working

I'd would strongly advise you to back up that EFS partition asap now just in case
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinkerz9430:
Ueah. I never thought that would happen to me. Thats why i never did the backup. I did it as soon as i saw that i got signal, service, imei and sn back. Haha
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
No-one ever thinks it will happen to them, that's why I backed mine up before I even decided to flash anything custom at all :)

Hi XDA people,

I am trying to resurect my old TP2 Rhod210 TMOUS USA

I would like to get android up and running.

I have read the NEW guide several times and also the OLD guide.

The issue I am having is at STEP 6: When the TRI-COLOR screen comes on it then flashes the white screen for only a second while trying to install the RHODIMG.NBH file. I had to try this several times in order to see what is says on the white screen.

It says "Loading image

No image found"

I have formatted the 4GB sd to fat32 using the HP tool I got direct from hp "FULL FORMAT"

I have downloaded the RHODIMG.NBH file from this thread and also tried the file from the old Instructions wiki.

Both files read 185kb file size.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on. Is there something I missed or are these files wrong/corrupt?

Thanks for any feedback.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] aberean:
Just for the sake of others:

I figured out the issue.

I was using a 4gb sd card, don't know why it wont work, but I found an old 2gb card and everything worked great! I followed the "New guide" without any issue!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] tro:
What version of Android did yo flash? I'm thinking of trying to flash Android on my TP2 as well. THanks!

I believe I used GBX_3.4.35_Full, make sure to use the latest recovery and update to the latest SPL.

W/O this you will have charging probs and may get stuck in boot loop. MAKE SURE you are fully charged before doing this and if need be charge again before making changes.

yes i know we can save our images and videos on wireless Hard drive and cloud storage....but what about applications and games... can i some how change location of my apps and games data; like we used to do in sd cards?

Honestly, I would root the device, install a custom rom. Take out all bloat ware and save all pics and music to a cloud based storage. Apps and games would be saved to internal memory unless you don't mind carrying around the external sd card.

Good luck :good:

I just noticed one thing that might not be entirely clear in the Heisenberg thread. It says to enable adb in the Settings -> Developer Options menu, but by default you won't have a Developer Options menu.

To get one, go into Settings -> About Phone, scroll all the way to the bottom, and tap on build number about 8 or 10 times. Your phone will say something to the effect of congratulations now you're a developer, and you'll have the menu.

Edit: i just noticed it says how to enable developer options further down the page

This might sound so stupid.

So, I will begin with the recommendation of installing twrp as my first step.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64545146&postcount=131

How do I go on installing this TWRP? Does it include flashing TWRP to the phone? Or is an app? I don't understand.

How many ROMs can be flashed to the phone, 2? TWRP & Marshmallow?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naddict:
Sounds like you need to do more studying and reading:)

TWRP is not a ROM, it is a custom recovery image, which allows you to flash ROMs.

Tyvm.

Before I proceed, I need to backup, right? How do I go forth doing a backup?

Also, I am updated on MM, does those two links above work on MM?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naddict:
after you unlock and install custom recovery, you use TWRP (the custom recovery) to create the backup...

as you are on MM, you cannot use the "all in one" application that I provided in the link...so you will have to manually install/flash your rom

I have installed twrp 2.8.7.0.

I followed as directions.

Now I am in twrp, on hbergs guide, "Don't reboot the phone normally, use the volume buttons to highlight recovery and press the power button to select it. This will stop the stock OS from patching it with the stock recovery in boot. Once you've booted into TWRP like this once, you can reboot normally."

I kinda need some help if someone don't mind, in hbergs guide, specifically above in quotes, I followed the procedure but now I am in twrp with two options.

Keep Read Only and swipe to allow modifications. I googled this and nothing really came up.

Which one should I select?

Edit:

About the version. The file name is twrp-2.8.7.1-clark.img but in twrp it shows 2.8.7.0, I just caught this. Am I in trouble?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naddict:
allow modifications...

and, if you would read the TWRP thread :rolleyes:, you would see that the version number was overlooked when it was updated, odds are, if you flashed 2871, then you are in fact on 2871 even though it says 2870...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:

I have a feeling I am gonna be here for a while asking questions.

When I make a backup, should I insert my SD card in the expansion slot to make a backup to it?

Where does it back it up to? So I don't erase it on accidentally.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
TWRP can backup to internal or external sd. Personally I keep a backup on both. On internal because microsd cards aren't very reliable, and on external in case I mess up or have to wipe my internal.

I keep a copy off my devices on a computer too.

Also a backup of system, boot, and data is typically all you need to restore. You should absolutely make a backup of efs too, but it is not something you want to restore all the time. I usually keep a separate backup for efs. You'll see check boxes for all these different areas when you go into the backup menu.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
Man, you guys are fantastic. I am now backing up to the sd card as well. So I will have backup on the phone and sd card.

Careful with xposed. It's an impressive tool, but it can cause a lot of issues too.

I'd recommend giving your new rom a really good run in. Get a feel for everything that works, anything that's broken, and what battery life is like before you bring xposed into the mix.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
For weather, Cronus adds some nice weather widgets. It's basically the cLock app with more features.

For system monitoring and tweaking kernel adiutor and trickstermod are both solid choices.

Those are all just apps, not xposed modules.

I went to stock mm Systemless root have noticed both trupurexmm and stock are the same as in performance wise.

Unless you know what you are doing I wouldn't bother.

Also alot of ppl say trupurexmm n frankenclark are good, it's Placebo's IMHO.

Here is the Systemless stock root with latest security patches. Also let it be known op of trupure is hosting outdated software. He was known of the security patches a few times I also got flamed. I no longer have anything to do with trupurexmm. Trubadexperience.

Also always do backups. Learn adb backup. Then when twrp is installed do backups to internal and external drive. And backup your backups to a external HDD.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Can't truly comment on stock as I never ran it long enough to determine anything. I see this more as a nexus device with a sd slot. While motorola's additions are very light compared to other mfg's, they're still additions some of us can do without. I can do without apps/services I will never use.

Performance is a very subjective question. What kind of performance? Benchmarks, opening apps, data speeds, switching between apps, scrolling, and probably a number of other factor's I can't think of at the moment.

You are 100% correct. I've read (and skipped) many threads on here that contain extremely basic questions that could easily be answered by doing a little research. This device seems to have attracted a large novice base. While we all have to start somewhere, seems people are very lazy these days. For example, in the truepure thread, the same question about the dialer issue is asked on a nearly daily bases.

Asking what rom or kernel is best is impossible to answer. There are many variations in the way things can be configured. This especially applies to kernels. There are so many parameters that can be adjusted on custom kernels. You can choose from many different governors which directly affects how the cpu's are utilized. Not only that, but there is advanced configuration available which adjusts various thresholds the governors use. All this adjustment can give one a big headache.

I was using the stock optimized kernel but noticed phone was getting warm/hot when with screen on. Further digging into it, noticed many cores were on for no reason. Tried the frankenclark kernel. Even with stock settings noticed an immediate difference in temps as fewer cores for online.

tl;dr My point with all this ramble is you can't just flash a magic pill. The pill is a toolbox. Learn to use the tools and you'll benefit.

Edit1: About being out of date. Motorola just dropped the feb update. From various posts, it appears a number of things are broken especially with respect to root. Should the developer drop all support of a previous version just because a new one is available? I don't think so. If this is an area of concern, then stick with the stock ota. Not all updates are an improvement.

EDIT2: Not directed toward anyone in particular. If responding to a post directly above yours, no need to quote anything. If a quote is needed, edit out the text your reply doesn't apply to. Most importantly a quote should not be a mile long.

Hey guys!

I neead some pieces of advice really fast!

My nexus 6P seems to have really really bad viewing angles..basically even if i move it a little while i am typing, the keyboard color gets bluish.

Please watch this video (also please forgive the backround noise). This is my 6P. I know that the video is not of a very high quality (it was taken with my ipad 2) but you can still see the problem when i use the keyboard. It can also be seen when i try to reach the notification bar.

Here is the video:

I'd say mine looks and acts the same way yours does, it just doesn't bother me in my regular usage.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
AMOLED screens generally have narrowing viewing angles than IPS LCD screens before you start seeing color shifts like that. It's the tradeoff -- along with off-color whites - that you get for having more vibrant colors/real blacks and the ability to activate only certain portions of the screen (not really explored on the 6p, but Active Display on Moto X is an example). AMOLED is considered better for videos etc because of the vibrancy/deeper blacks but LCD tends to be brighter/easier to read outdoors.

I don't consider one better than the other, just a matter of taste.

Did you come from a phone that didn't have an AMOLED display or a Samsung (anecdotal theories that the better panels get binned for them, not by me but in other threads I've read)?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Ilie:
I am coming from a Galay s3...and it did not do this on it.
