[Galaxy S6 Accessories] kisetsu17:
Yeah maybe that's also one way to look at it. I remember using a battery case that came with a clear plastic layer that caused rainbows to dance around my screen lol.

Good enough--what you'd expect from an average waterproof case. It does have a bit of flex, and it unsettles me a bit that the case I have is a bit bent on the edge with the seam on the two sides sitting around 0.1mm apart. The seals snap around quite well, but it doesn't feel as tight. But the rubber ring around the case is kinda thick so I guess that makes up for it.

I've seen many people have their battery door snap off with mild stress though. Definitely something you'd want to watch out for.

I'm hoping a 0.2mm case would be a snug fit there, but that's definitely where I'm going if the glass doesn't work out. I just think it's too big a tradeoff as I had numerous good experiences with tempered glasses protecting my screen.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Rakcoon:
If you're in US, try to get your hands on iloome glass sp. It's 0.1mm, you can barely feel the screen protector.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] kisetsu17:
Wow, I thought the thinnest I can go is a 0.2mm iCarez one. That's what I got and had shipped here. Waiting for it to arrive (not from the US.)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartbrake:
Hi, I am going to buy ZE550KL. I read in a review that sound output from loudspeaker is very low. Is it true? I use loudspeaker a lot in my phone calls. Will it be a problem for me?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeev:
If you turn off ASUS AudioWizard, the sound of loudspeaker will be low.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartbrake:
How low is it (a comparison with something would be great)? Can it fill a room? I own a Galaxy S advance and the sound on it is so low that sometimes I can't even hear the ringtone when I am near the room the phone is kept in.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeev:
I can't make a compare but the loudspeaker is pretty loud with max volume and activated AudioWizard. Sound can fill my room.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartbrake:
Thanks. One last thing. Is the phone call audio output via loudspeaker good or not? Most of the time I am taking calls on loudspeaker.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeev:
I can't say anything about it, I used loudspeaker for call for only one time. Loudspeaker worked fine though.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veer1080:
Flash dolby n speaker sound will be loud then :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartbrake:
Got the phone and I am using it for quite a few days. The loudspeaker is fine. It's not too low as mentioned in reviews. It's lower than some smartphones like Moto G. But it is still loud enough to fill the room with Asus audio wizard. I found this phone better than Moto G in many ways and for the price I have to say I am impressed with it. Only downside is the Camera which is average in inadequate lighting but hey for the price I paid I really can't complain. ZenUI is awesome. I am coming from Touchwiz which is crap and laggy compared to ZenUI. Call quality is also really good. Overall Excellent phone. For those having doubts about loudspeaker's capability just don't doubt and GO FOR IT. I recommend this phone for the low price and the quality and functionality it provides :)

Edit: I forgot to mention the amazing battery life I am getting on ZFL2. 5 hours of SOT and 2 days standby which will only get better when it gets Android 6.0 with DOZE. One of the best battery life I have seen in an Android phone.

I just flashed a nandroid backup

flashed a stock recovery

and boom the OTA worked just fine

thanks to HTCNerdYoda
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
If it is rooted the OTA won't be installed as the system partition and thus it's md5 has been changed by mounting it r/w and flashing SuperSU. This is as google and HTC following this guidelines changed the OTA delivery to a block based system where the routine checks if the system.img has been untouched prior to installing it. You got to restore the untouched image of the system partition for your device. After this you could flash the stock recovery and install the OTA.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackwolfsa:
Hi everyone. I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

Like the subject says. Is it possible to load the default OEM android OS on any phone without a root. This is now for a phone with a carrier OS version on it.

For example. Say you bought a HTC one m9 from Vodafone, it would come out with an OS version of them and you have to rely on them for the updates. I want to then load the default HTC made OS on the phone without rooting the phone and voiding the warranty.

Is this possible or must the phone be rooted? And will this be device specific or is there some generic route for almost any device?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yyh991013:
You must turn S-ON to S-OFF then you can flash via fastboot or use CWM.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgt_auto:
I think I now understand my mistakes, but I'd love to hear it if there's a way around this. I have the International version H815. My plan was to end up with a rooted version of Marshmallow. At the beginning of the day, I was not so clear about the difference between unlocking and rooting. I followed directions to install a rooted version of Lollipop. That went well. I flashed TWRP but couldn't figure out why that didn't work until I figured out that the bootloader should have been unlocked first. I then went through most of the steps to officially unlock the phone, but my phone just hangs at a fastboot intro screen using the abd reboot bootloader command, so I can't use the fastboot utility to recover the device ID I would need to get an unlock code. And I can't get into the original recovery menu using the power-volume down keys. I think I overwrote the stock Recovery utility when I flashed TWRP from within a rooted system. Switching back to a stock kdz didn't help. The phone still works fine otherwise, but now I see no path to unlocking it and then installing TWRP to load a rooted 6.0 image. Should I just give up now, or are there any other options?

Thanks,

Jim
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgt_auto:
Got it working

I reinstalled the rooted image and flashed a stock recovery.img. That didn't work. Then I went back to stock with a different kdz image. I still couldn't access the recovery tools with the power and volume down buttons, but I was a able to get fastboot functioning and got the unlock code from LG and entered it - now to see if I can go back to an unlocked system and install TWRP to upgrade to Marshmallow.
[General Topics] disco_y2k:
After spending time reading the posts of people praising Sunshine and hating them for charging folks, I felt I had to make a general non-bias post.

I have had to pay the $25 a few times and I know it sucks, but I can tell from experience reverse engineering is expensive! When I was a young pup. I was part of 3 major reverse engineering "projects" not on phones but 3 other devices. Some of you may have seen them over the years. I was always a person who shared. I am an old skool coder, I always believed knowledge should be free. My thing was I will help you, but not give it to you if you don't work to understand the basis of the hack/mod.

1 of them we gave too much info out (test devices we destroyed cost about $10,000) got no donations because anyone could use point and click apps

1 of them I was mainly the tester because I had access to many devices we could destroy (even with manufacturers prices cost about $2,000) for the ones we destroyed

1 of them we released NOTHING I only answered specific questions other devs asked, to date that hack has not been done by any other crew! (Destroyed 100's of units, no idea of total cost)

SMT equipment and jtag and other readers cost about $4,000, each chip programmer was a couple thousand, each proprietary manufacturers adapters are a couple hundred dollars minimum, hot air stations, etc Plus 20 hrs a day, months on end decompiling bins! Making edits, flash, test, dump, compare, etc, over and over and over and over... Me and my friends did it all for the challenge and to be honest bragging rights to :) Doing something that has never been done is priceless!

Long story short, I (we) did it in the name of free information, my share of expenses between 1999 and about 2006 or 2007, (I forget) was about $30,000.

In total, the total of my share of donations over all those years was somewhere around $4,000

I never did any of it for profit and after selling off most of the equipment, plus the few donations, in the end, all total, I probably lost $2,000 out of my pocket, but learned ALOT, and gained access to more than you can know.

So, yes it SUCKS, having to pay, but I hope the above sheds some light on the work these projects entail.

Not trying to support or not support Sunshine in particular, just trying to shed some light on the dev topic in general, IT AIN'T JUST TIME SPENT IN THE BASEMENT LATE NIGHT AFTER WORK, it's pretty much a lifestyle while your doing it.

Cheers,

Disco
[General Topics] :
I've used it myself. Sometimes when there is no other way, a small price to pay is well worth it for freedom. And as you said, it certainly cost the devs money to create it and work out the kinks. :good:

However, with that said, I'm going to close this thread. This topic has been discussed and debated around the HTC sections to death. No need to begin another thread on it.

Thanks,

I have a Samsung galaxy mega 6.3 (GT-19200), I had vcoreroot router with {VcR00T} and since my phone does not turn and remains blocked on the Samsung logo

I tried all the links to this problem but nothing, the logo is still there, but I have little unrooter with Odin and firmware and the phone still blocked on the samsung logo

In the links, we wonder just reset the phone in RECOVERY mode.

When I put the phone into Recovery Mode I find myself with too bizarre entries:

E: failed to mount / data (invalid argument)

can not mount '/ data' (invalid argument)

E: Failed to mount / data (invalid argument)

E: Can not moun /data/log/Recovery_log.txt

And when I try to use the factory reset, I like to write:

MDM do not allow factory reset.

Phone Will REBOOT automatically.

How can I settle this problem? :crying: :crying:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2019:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!

I was right, using the stock recovery is the ultimate solution.

In the stock recovery, wiped data/factory reset, then applied update from adb.

The ROM I flashed was cm12.1 snapshot.

After the flashing, I re-entered to fastboot and used "fastboot -w"

Finally, Nexus 9 booted, rebooting itself 3 times and showing boot animation!

Hello everyone!

This is information on my nexus 9:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. There's no OS installed.

2. If I boot nexus 9, "This is a development device not intended for production use." is shown red.

3. Version of both bootloader & recovery is 5.1.1

4. Bootloader is locked.

5. If I try to unlock bootloader, it says "permission denied"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've searched threads of this problem on XDA and found it's a prevalent and well-known thing.[emoji23]

And these are what I did:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. fastboot flashing unlock/ unlock_critical

2. entered recovery mode(STOCK RECOVERY) and adb sideload ROMs...

3. fastboot boot/flash twrp.img (cuz I had stock recovery)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of them worked..[emoji22]

But I think adb sideload through stock recovery can be the possible solution.

Do you know the solution or some helpful tips?

Any answers or questions will be welcomed![emoji4]

(I apologize to you for my bad English and long length of the question)

1. Make sure, before flashing cm, perform fastboot -w, then in stock recovery, wipe data & cache, and finally flash cm

2. Make sure the cm version you are flashing is as same as your vendor version. Ex) if youre on 5.1 vendor you should flash cm12.1

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
Download the latest stock ROM for the m919 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/ . Downloading from sammobile may take a long time but it is good to have a copy of the ROM in order to flash back to stock when necessary. The file needs to be unzipped once to yield a tar.md5 file.

Download the Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.112454388,d.amc . I like Odin 3.07 because it has always worked for everything I have done to my s2, s3, s4, and Note 3.

Backup your data because the phone needs to be factory reset before booting the stock KK ROM.

Open Odin, click on PDA, browse to and select the stock tar.md5 file you downloaded from sammobile, uncheck everything except f.reset time, put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer, flash the phone, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery by pressing the required button combination, wipe data and cache in recovery, reboot the phone. It will take quite a while for the phone to boot into the stock ROM, be patient.

Once the phone is up and running, download the latest tar version of TWRP for the m919 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/

Open Odin, click on PDA, browse to and select the TWRP tar file you downloaded, uncheck everything except f.reset time, put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer, flash the phone, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into TWRP by pressing the required button combination. Once you are satisfied that TWRP is working properly, reboot the phone.

Now that TWRP is on the phone, you will be able to flash custom ROMs.

So the app I will try to post. The idea is that currently when a USB is plugged up to a Samsung with otg Samsung phones open a file browser for the USB. Having my app on the USB allows you to install and click open taking you to the menu to reset the phone normally. So put the app on the USB and install it when the file browser pops up. It's a simple app made with Tasker. So far it has been tested on a few note 5s and a s6 edge.
