[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
very detailed response, thanks. I've tried most of that, as some thread I was reading said that twrp probably has the capability to fix the issue, and CWM definitely doesn't.

Odin never really does anything, though. How long should I wait?

This step is the one I haven't done "7) open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;" Just left everything alone the multiple times I tried. Hopefully that'll make a difference.

Tried 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.6. I'll try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
By default in Odin 3.07, only auto reboot and f reset time are checked.

What do you mean when you say Odin does nothing? Does the phone appear as a com device in Odin? Are there error messages in Odin during the flash process?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
never gives anything other than:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
All I can suggest is to try and get access to a pc or try VMware with win7.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
Tried again last night for about 12 hours, no response from Odin.

Decided to give jtag a shot.

Contacted the jtag guy & gave him all the above info.

He says

"Unfortunately there are many indicators that your phone has a hardware failure.... Most likely a failed emmc memory chip.

1) the phone getting stuck on boot logo for no reason.

2) Odin not flashing...

3) files not found or... Not being able to do.

These are all indicators that the emmc memory chip is toast...... The biggest clue is finding the phone stuck on boot logo... Out of nowhere for no reason.

Jtag would not be able to fix it.

Thank you"

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thanks for the help.

Might sell the remains.

16G I747 blue, normal wear & tear, small chip in one corner, the case covers it.

That was on a windows machine...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Odin recognizes the phone but it won't flash twrp? Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports?

I found that my s4 and s3 would fail to flash if I don't use the USB cable that came with my Samsung or LG phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o4tuna:
yes to both cable & ports.

bought an LG K7, which I mostly hate, and can not root.

I had a amazing talk with the lg develeopers yesterday....since I am in the same boat since my lg k7 is bricked....I ask them for the kdz firmware so I can reflash my phone....you wanna know what they told me?

first they ask: whats a kdz file?

their answer: We don't make those thing you need the official lg tools to update your device firmware....so we cant help you...

Me: I am extremely pissed now since they are lying to me & then I showed them a link from their server to DOWNLOAD a kdz file firmware for another device that I had....

their answer: we dont know what you are talking about...sorry we can't help you!

I even went to my nearby metropcs store & explained to him what happen...

first. he didn't understand the following:

1-bootloader

2. boot image

3. recovery mode

4. download mode

5. kdz firmware

6. bricked & softed-bricked

the f-cking guy told me I can't do anything, but "report my phone lost or stolen" so I can get a new one....

How the hell are these idiots getting jobs when they have NO IDEA what to do on how to fix a phone

My level of anger is now over 9000.....

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] thomassster:
kitchen is where you can cook up your OWN rom. The Iron Chefs from up above provide you with the great tools and you use them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
the term means a custom rom cooked by one of our chefs but not packed to the flashable format. So...just before flashing, you may have a peek at it and add or remove few programs/applications
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tucson85743:
After an eight year break from flashing I dove back in head first and have gotten up to speed over the past few days. I was loving SlimKat but once I actually activated it after making a first call after each reboot it would make a nasty low pitch hum on every button press, sounded like a strung out ham radio. Okay, the colored notification LED didn't work on that ROM anyway which was a HUGE appeal and the camera app doesn't serve the M8 well so I could accept switching. I flashed in the debloated stock Verizon ROM and disabled every Google app permission and hid them all to address my nogapps desire. This works for now, I have the HTC camera and it's stable I'm guessing it's a fine experience, Santod040 did a great job putting it together.

I just wish I could have a cross between that and SlimKat where I get the stock functionality yet I'm gapps free. Is there anything like that I'm missing? Is it too hard to do or do most people just not mind having all the Google stuff in their business? What's the closest ROM to stock that doesn't have gapps?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tucson85743:
Nobody? I would just like something stable, solid and gapps free there has to be something.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rickyray9:
have you tried liquidsmooth without flashing the gapps?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Just delete all the apps you don't want.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohan sajja:
I want to root my mobile. Moto e xt1022 1st gen with 5.1 lollipop. I'm not getting bootloader(fast boot menu). I'm pressing "power+ volume down" button simultaneously. But I'm not able to access boot loader menu.... Please help me.... (All buttons are working properly)
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
It might be that you are pressing the volume button little late. Its a matter of seconds.

Do this, Press the Vol button, then without releasing it, press the power button, when it boots, release the power button but not the volume one.

If your buttons are working fine, you should boot into menu.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Galaxy-Shadow:
Does anyone know what it's worth? $$$$, I have everything including T-Mobile Box and extra unused leather bands. it has always had a screen protector, no scratches of any kind!

I'm kinda anal keeping my stuff better than new.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Youdoofus:
well, i bought mine new from office max on a sale for $79.98, so i dont think itll be worth more than that. Hope that helps!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Droidatar:
I purchased a new neo from best buy for $129 for Christmas. It was a lemon the back was broke on it and it did not hold a charge. I did not notice the back was broken until I mistakenly took a shower with it and fried it.

I just bought a refurbished neo for $129 and I cannot believe the battery life on this one. It seems so much better than the other that was supposedly new but that look like the box was opened I checked at 12 p.m. 100% charge its now 4:42 and I'm at 93%

The previous neo couldn't even go 24 hours without charging I don't know what possessed me to do this again but the new one? I'm happy with so far.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Galaxy-Shadow:
I've noticed in when buying used equipment, That Battery life is not to be expected high if Battery charge cycles are many?

The Neo 2 has on board battery conditioning management in which if you don't charge it and off? so shouldn't affect battery quality.

You can even leave it on the charger for weeks without haveing to worry about overcharging, as it tops off when needed.

Some devices don't have a smart management of their batteries.

Pity, as all of them, should be considering most people don't know the

technical aspects in care for devices battery.

I think there is a way in reading the Neo's 2 battery cycles or quality before purchasing? The seller could take a picture to verify?

or take a lower price before buying?

But given you purchased it new? or maybe was a return as I've experienced that very thing with Best Buy with a Chromebook in which was already activated keeping me from getting Google Drive added memory for two years. I returned it for a 'New' one in which I setup at Best Buy to confirm this time it was truly new...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Galaxy-Shadow:
Yes Thanks,

I'm moving so have been gathering all my collection in devices over the past 40 years!

I even still have my KIM-1 6502 computer aka 1976 era, Apple Newtons and so on...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Droidatar:
Your right, it was probably not new. I should have taken back right away as the seal looked like it was carefully pried open and re-closed.

The clerk however told me it was the last one and I had wanted for so long and it was the same price as the refurbished...and I can't resist a sale.

So, you sound like you know how I should care for my neo battery. Should I top off if I'm going away or take charger with me and wait till its low, low, low %

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insang-droid:
I tried the systemless root method several times.. None of it works.

If my superSU app says I'm rooted, Android pay doesn't work. Only way to get it working again is if I UNROOT using the superSU tool.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
Root with the systemless root method, and delete "/su/xbin_bind". Android Pay will work. However, you might break root compatibility with older apps that haven't been updated.

yes, mine definitely works.

FYI, greenify breaks it, just having it installed for me (even if disabled)

adaway does not have to though, long as you flash the systemless hosts zip file before installing and applying it
[General Questions and Answers] sudosilman:
I was given a device (Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-I957) that powers on but wouldnt unlock (you can slide the unlocker to the unlock/google/camera but the screen would just pause and do nothing and return to normal.

I downloaded the samsung drivers. Installed Clockwork Mod Recovery recovery via Odin and put a ROM on it called DarkHoney (after it failed to successfully install the Stock ROM and one called Omni 5.1.1).

After i installed DarkHoney it reboot but didnt boot up. When i plug it into my computer it shows up in my device manager as

RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM11)

I am not sure what to do. I tried reinstalling the Clockwork Mod Recovery through Odin (which does detect it on COM11) but ODIN just says

<ID:0/011> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> CWMR5x_i957_recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/011> Odin v.3 engine (ID:11)..
<ID:0/011> File analysis..
<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..

and gets stuck infinitely at that stage.

The screen is black but i know it must be getting power because its showing up as this weird COM port on my PC. It wont respond to button presses, i can't get it into recovery or download mode.

what do I do? I just want to get this thing up and running with any version of android. It seems that Odin still shows a yellow light even though it shows up as this RELINK device, is it possible to fix?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foggydisaster:
Efs is a system partition that keeps your IMEI and serial number. without it your device wont be able to register on network (or even boot). You should always make a EFS backup in TWRP (or by any other methods) before flashing a custom rom. It is a common practice. If you dont have a backup you have 2 options: Wait for samsung to release MM for note 4 or find a special repair centre, which has a repair box to rewrite your imei number. If you have any questions, im here.
