Same issue

Hi Guys,

I'm facing the same issue. I tried re-flashing different roms, odin says success but i'm stuck with bootloop. I can go into only download mode, no recovery, no hard reset. I visited the samsung service center and they said that they can't help since KNOX counter is tripped: 1 (0x0500) . Were you guys able to fix this issue. ?

If anyone has a solution please share it here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] abhi821:
stuck in bootloop also

I am having the same problems as you guys for the last 4 days, it doesn't go into recovery mode, only thing it does is go into ODIN mode ,I have also tried flashing the stock firmware through ODIN and it passes but it's still stuck in a boot loop. Please let me know if one of you guys fixed your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Desparoux:
its same here anybody can show a guide how to fix this or jtag needed ? or need to return service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] baroon7:
Hi

same problem for me... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] LuanTeles:
same here tired many things and cannot boot nor in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Viking8:
Facing the same issue with my s6 edge. No safe mode, no recovery, just download mode. Also did what everyone else did. Installed the latest ROM for it. Odin looked quite happy with itself for passing the download successfully, but in my case, the phone doesn't boot loop, it just stays on the S6 edge startup screen and doesn't budge until I unplug it. Doesn't appear that the battery is charging either, even though a new one was installed recently, so I am at a loss as to what needs to be done to fix this thing and apparently so is everyone else. Hope we get some answers soon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunmoule:
Any update on this issue? I assume no other solution than replacing the motherboard has been found. This phone has been only trouble for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Viking8:
Apparently not! I guess that seems to be where I'm headed too, but not until the prices of motherboards come down. On ebay I'm still seeing working mobos for around $100. In my opinion, that's way to much for a phone this old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] x1123:
I used Heimdall. Download any stock rom preferably the higher version from installed rom. Unpack all the DOT.tar.DOT.md5 get the full image at least : sboot.bin system.img recovery.img boot.img param.bin flash it on download mode:

$ heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --PARAM param.bin --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img --BOOT boot.img

if the room version is higher, flashing bootloader is mandatory, if the rom version at the same level bootloader not neccessary. Modem is not neccessary but optional can also flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Viking8:
I tried through the GUI of Heimdall, but it never actually flashes anything. It says it's "Beginning Session....." waits for a couple minutes and then releases the device. The SM-G925T I have has these files in the tar file when unpacked.

boot.img

cache.img

cm.bin

modem.bin

recovery.img

sboot.bin

system.img

Could you show me what the syntax would look like in the CMD for these files?

Ex. $ heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img --BOOT boot.img etc. etc.

Clayton

NEW INFO:

I tried to flash just the recovery to see if it would install, but Heimdall in the cmd does the same thing as the GUI.

Initializing connection....

Detecting device....

Claiming interface....

Setting up interface....

Initializing protocol....

ERROR: Failed to send data! Releasing device interface....

MORE INFO: (About 30 minutes later)

I tried a different version of ODIN, (3.10) and I was able to successfully load G925TUVS6FRC1_G925TTMB6FRC1_G925TUVS6FRC1_HOME.tar, but it just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge screen forever like it did before. Not sure what to do at this point. Any other suggestions would be welcomed!
[General Questions and Answers] Mysteriom45:
not sure if this is true or not but someone told that eco lithium battery can't last more than 2 - 2.5 year so how is it possible to save the battery life extending it

it doesn't make sense :confused:

any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of charge cycles and the heat generated by them. Lithium based rechargable batteries (lithium ion [Li-ion], lithium polymer [Li-Po]) simply degrade from use. It's just a part of the chemistry involved. Like anything else in the world (tires, motors, underwear, tolerance for BS) it wears out with use. The accepted "lifespan" for a lithium rechargeable is ~500 cycles, after which capacity is reduced by upwards of 20% or so, and should be replaced. If you charge your phone every night and run it down to zero the next day, that's about a year and a half. Most of us don't go quite that far, so the 2-2.5 year figure you've heard is probably about average.

How can you extend it? Don't use it. Don't wi-fi tether, don't watch videos, don't play games, don't spend hours flicking left or right on Tinder, etc. Obviously, that defeats the purpose of having a smartphone, so take that in consideration when buying your next one. Can you simply pop out a fried battery and buy a new one off eBay for $10-20? Or can it be easily replaced with the right set of tools and patience? Or is it impossible and will cost too damn much to have it done professionally? Do you even plan on having the phone as long as the battery will last before it takes a dump?

"It doesn't make sense" you say. It makes perfect sense.
[General Questions and Answers] Mysteriom45:
now that u explain it ,it make sense But not yet

my brother once had a job on Dell and they have a lot of laptop that they didn't sell so they have to change the battery every 2 year and get rid of the old batteries i don't get it maybe it is different thing on laptops

i have my phone sense 2013-1-10 so it's 2 years old and it's really in bad state it shut down at 85

when i check that battery with app or with the phone setting it's say the battery is good that weird

Hello,

I have got a nexus 5x and would like to install apps on a flash drive so that i can get extra space. Is there a way to do that?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwa:
No way. U can save some space by using otg drive. And moving ur Media to external drive.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomyk89:
I'm assuming you're considering this for games and whatnot. I'm sure that, with root, this is possible. How exactly? Not sure.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwa:
As per my knowledge it wont possible. Will try once i receive my otg adapter in couple days. Only chance is have to check whether play store will show the otg drive in default install locations path. Or using some app to move to apk data folder to otg drive ( like we did on old low end devices like htc explore).

Even with the new OS version, I still can't encrypt my phone.

Anybody knows any workaround for this problem or if it'll be eventually solved by Xiaomi?

Thanks!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] funy:
do you have a firewall? you could try turning it off for a few mins see if thats causing problems.

if it is the firewall you can usually add the card as trusted.

i know norton stops all sort of things it shouldnt.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ranasrule:
not using any firewall.....anything else ? what about connection settings on the WIZARD ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
That can be the problem. Do you have connections setup? If I remember correctly, you need at lest one setting setup. Who is your carrier? You can find cab files in this forum to make it very easy for you.
[Meizu MX] LemonJuls:
Hey guys,

so just in case I would sell my phone in future .. I would know how to get back to full official Flyme Rom with locked bootloader and meizu stock recovery. In the cm12.1 thread is one tutorial in the headpost but I've read the comments in the thread and now I do not know what is right and what is wrong to get back official Flyme Rom. Please, can someone tell me how I get this done, PLEASE :)
[Meizu MX] juancargarcia84:
You have to flash patched recovery flyme, and then flash original flyme rom by normal way( recovery mode or choosing the rom with a file explorer)

Enviado desde mi MX4 mediante Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] LemonJuls:
And that is the safest way?
[Meizu MX] juancargarcia84:
As i know, is the only way, if we are talking about andriod mx4. I did it and no problems.

The safest way to flash patched rechovery is via fastboot.

[Meizu MX] oguzhan mobile:
move offical rom to root direc. and flash patced recovery. turn off phone. press volume up + power button. select update and clean data.
[Meizu MX] LemonJuls:
OK thanks guys :)
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
Wait you can brick your phone. Some people have tested it:

- Back to Flyme 4.2.8.2 patched

- Reflash Flyme 4.2.8.2 official

- Full Re-Lock

IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER FLYME (NOT 4.2.8.2) OFFICIAL IS FULL BRICK.
[Meizu MX] LemonJuls:
Ok, first flash patched recovery, then 4.2.8.2 ( I or A?) and then I can flash any official Rom without brick?
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
Some people have tested it! But i'm not sure! You coming from an A or I? What you have patched for unlock?
[Meizu MX] LemonJuls:
Coming from 4.2.8.2A but phone is actually a international model...
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
You can try, but why? Just sell it unlocked :)
[Meizu MX] Mulic:
Dear friends,

You all say that the first step should be flashing the custom recovery, but how? With flashify?

Thanks.
[Meizu MX] sichosid:
[MENTION=7054646]juancargarcia84[/MENTION] did your coming back to flyme work ? how did you do it ? ?

[Meizu MX] Mulic:
Thanks man. How do one does it via fastboot?
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
Volume Down + Power = Fastboot mode

In a Prompt of comand do: fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img" (and move recovery file on window and do enter)

An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtYNtT07QrM
[Meizu MX] Mulic:
Thanks so much! Is it safer than flashing with flashify?

After I do it, and after I go back to the official 4.2.8.2, can I update it normally to 4.5.7i, or even to flyme 5 when it comes out, or will I risk brick?

Thanks again.
[Meizu MX] FrAsErTaG:
I flashed 4.2.8.2 with patched recovery and patched ROM with patched uboot (same as what got me "unlocked")

After that flashed full unmodified 4.2.8.2, let boot, rebooted for good measure then flashed latest flyme 5
[Meizu MX] Mulic:
Thanks for sharing from your experience! Did you flashed the flyme 5 normally, the standard way, by just putting it on root and openning? Where did you get it? So many different versions. How do you like it?

Thanks again.
[Meizu MX] Komhir:
"Flyme 4.2.8.2 patched" - You say that I must flash patched Flyme 4.2.8.2 or flash a stock Flyme 4.2.8.2i by patched recovery and than by stock?? On this I can install Flyme 4.5.7 and update it with OTA?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I was provided this unit for free for an unbiased review.

<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM REFERRAL LINKS DELETED>

Pros:

- build quality: housing is all plastic, but not necessarily the cheap kind. Feels solid, no rattling or sharp edges. Very well finished.

- includes two cables: 1x USB C and 1x USB A-C (CheckR compliant)

- packaging isn't annoying and all recyclable

- really simple operation; just plug and play with no need to press any buttons of any kind to start working

- rapidly charges the Nexus 6P at 2920 mA using included USB C cable

Cons:

- Total output is only 5V at 3A (was not able to simultaneously charge my Nexus 7 and Nexus 6P rapidly); total sum of output current between both devices was slightly over 3000 mA

- style; totally subjective but the design looks dated IMO

- legacy USB port does not hold the USB cable head firmly. Cable wiggles a tad, but does not come out.

Other thoughts:

- length of included cables are both 17 cm from tip to tip

- "power" button turns off bank while plugged to phone, as well as checking the capacity

- dimensions of power bank: 13.8cm x 6.2cm x 2.2cm

- able to charge my 6P a cumulative total of 196% before running out of juice

Would I buy it again: Likely. Few other options on the market, at the time of this writing, that can support 5V/3A USB C output. Not particularly pricey.

Enjoyed the review? Press the "thanks" button. Questions or comments, post em' here!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Good review, any comparison shots next to the phone for size? How many charges are you getting before recharging the pack?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mastrgamr:
Bad ass ruler.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Under "other thoughts" there are measurements. My 6p is my only camera now that I sold my old phone. I haven't really tried to cycle through the battery entirely yet, mostly because it would be too much hassle to do it. It would require me to turn off my phone while it's charging so that it's not consuming while being charged. I was able to charge to full from 35% and not even one of the lights turned off.

I'll charge my phone through the bank only for the next few cycles until it empties and report back

Only the baddest of rulers makes it into my arsenal of measurement tools.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ppc_dan:
wow, this looks identical to the monoprice 14202 unit, with the difference being that the monoprice one doesn't support charging the battery pack @ 3A via the Type C port.

So far, most reviews of the monoprice version seem to indicate that capacity is way overrated. If the pack is fully charged, how many lights do you have before/after charging the 6P?

I'm wondering if they are just sharing the same case design, or if the internals are different (more likely unless iVoler misstated the specs).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Update:

Charged my phone a total of 190% while phone was still on at all times, before the bank was finally drained from full
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onebelo:
It does look alot like the Monoprice 10,000mAh that I have ... its rated for 2 full charges on 6P but after just one charge, it goes from 4bars down to 1. Does this one perform better?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
This I've definitely will last more than one whole charge (phone on during charge but relatively idle). I'm gonna cycle it one more time and see what I get
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
Don't forget that the 10.000mA capacity is not the one you can use in total. In theory you can expect a usable capacity of about 6290mAh at a efficiency of about 85% if this battery pack really allows you to charge a Nexus 6p nearly 2x...best case. A more realistic approach is a efficiency of about 75% which would result in a usable capacity of about 5550mAh.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
So this last cycle, I charged the phone a total of 196% before all lights turned off.

This was with the phone still turned on, but idle.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ppc_dan:
Very promising, thank you for the data! Do you happen to have any Apple devices? Would love to know how well it does with other devices (want to make sure it's at least as good as my older 10,000mAh RAVpower unit).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Sorry, never owned anything apple[emoji1]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
My wife decided to get a nexus 6p so I started buying her accessories and got her this backup battery. The power button does work, you just have to hold it down for about 5 seconds and it completely shuts the battery off. I tested it while it was plugged in charging my phone. I also kind of disagree about the design looking dated, I think it's one of the better looking batteries I've seen in the last few years and it's not a fingerprint magnet or just another boring black piece of plastic.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
190%? Not sure what you mean. How can you charge more than 100%?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Yes, I do mean a cumulative total of 196%. More precisely, the first charge was from 20%-100%, followed by another 20%-100%, then 70%-100%, and finishing from 82%-88% before all lights turned off
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hughfollett:
Have you tried the PowerCore+ by Anker? I'd trust them instead of iVoler, but it's only a 20.000mah and 50€, too big and expensive

[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
I just received one of these today. Here are a couple of photos next to my Nexus 6p. Haven't used it yet to charge with. Will be using it on an upcoming trip to charge a 6p and a 5x. The Ravpower at 20100 mAh was just too big to carry around.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Enjoy it. It's a quality product for sure and it can last a few charges on smaller devices. I'd expect it to fully charged both your 6p and 5x at least once each and have a slight bit left in there. I've enjoyed using mine as a travel charger for those days with heavy usage.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
Yes, that is what I am hoping for. Should be sufficient for our needs. 6p=3450mAH and 5x=2700mAH maximum so should work out fine.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Thank you for mentioning this. I've edited the comment about the power button accordingly. However, I'm not sure why I'd ever turn off the bank while leaving the phone plugged.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Me neither. LOL
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Red zman, I noticed something interesting today and was hoping you could help confirm since you have one also. I tried to charge the bank with a few different sources that are below 3A current, and it wouldn't take a charge at all. I tried from a nexus 7 brick (5v/2A) as well as another 5v 1A brick. Neither would trigger it to charge. It only took a charge strictly from a USB C 5v/3A source. Is this the case for you (or anyone else reading this)?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
Seems to be charging from my windows laptop using the usb a to c cable that came with the 6p. I assume that is what the blinking LED means. It was down to 2 bars. Right now I have it off the computer because I am testing to see how many charges I can get from one full charge. So far at 130% with 2 bars remaining.

Edit: the unit doesn't seem to get enough power to turn it on from the computer if the LEDs are off. However, if the LEDs are on (such as right after disconnecting the phone from the iVoler) then I can plug it into the computer using either the A to C cable that came with it or the one that came with the 6p and the LED starts blinking as if it is taking a charge. Will test more later but want to finish testing how many charges I can get out of it first.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
My wife actually has it so I can't do any chicken of that until tonight. Is this by chance one of those batteries where you're going to have to hit the power button to turn it off so that it charges? I actually have the instruction manual over here was looking at it this morning so I'll see if it says anything in there.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
Yes, it is charging from my computer. A little trickery maybe to get it going as you may have to be sure that it is on when connecting it. It is up to 3 bars now charging from my pc after about 1-1/2 hours. FYI, I got 197% out of the first full charge. That is more than sufficient for what I want to do with it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Alright. I'll see what I can do to trigger it to accept a charge from other sources besides 5v/3A
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
I would suggest Anker's new Powercore 10000 mAh. It's about the same size as a credit/debit card and the perfect size to mAh ratio. Love the products Anker has been pushing out lately.

Edit: it's not a type c portable battery but I love the size of it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I've contacted them but to no avail. Guess they're not interested in doing review units.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
They usually give out review units to their power users and don't give them out to people who ask (from my experience).

Try applying for their power user program.

I was accepted within a few weeks and have been reviewing their products every now and then.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Will do that. Thanks for the tip[emoji106]

How is the phone charge rate? I have an Astro E4 2nd gen but when I charge the phone it doesn't say "charging rapidly" as it happens when I charge the phone with the original wall charger

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
My 6p charges rapidly when using the usb c to c cable that was supplied with the iVoler.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
It doesn't charge as fast as the wall charger because it isn't type c to type c. But charges at a reasonable pace as long if aren't on the phone. If you want to find the closest to the wall charger, might want to go find a type c external battery. I value the portability more so I'm waiting to see if any companies are coming out with a type c external battery in a small form factor with reasonable mAh to size ratio.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mochamoo:
The iVoler is type C and comes with a c to C cable. It charges rapidly just fine.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
If I'm reading it correctly with the context of previous posts, I believe he was referring to the Astro e4 and not the iVoler bank. Which also makes sense because the Astro e4 doesn't have USB C
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ppc_dan:
When most of us are talking about fast charging, we mean 3A. 2.4A isn't slow, but that's close to what most better battery packs on the market today can do already.
