[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Hi.

My S6 Edge just packed up on me, I don't know if an OTA update was trying to d/l or something, but it was working when I put it in my pocket ... an hour or so later when I took it out to check the time I noticed it was off.

Thought was battery, plugged it in and the battery indicator climbed straight up to ~70% which confused me as to why it had turned itself off.

I then powered it up, but it only got as far as the boot screen showing 'Samsung S6 Edge powered by android', then turns black screen, and loops continuously.

That's how this mess started.

Then I have since tried a number of things.

I accessed recovery mode and reset, that didn't fix it.

I was able to ADB from PC and see the device, and I can adb push and adb pull.

I can detect device from PC using ODIN3 v3.10 too, and I did that and flashed TWRP onto it successfully.

I then tried wiping using TWRP and it confirms done, but on rebooting still only get as far as boot loop.

I flashed a kernel, S6-UniBase_BOG8_v2, using TWRP following one guide on how to add a custom ROM.

Then I flashed a custom ROM, thinking that might work or fix it, XtreStoLite-2.0-Odex-Pure-ROM-Final, and it did allow me to run through all the settings and even confirmed that the ROM was installed successfully, but when it prompts to reboot ... again it then just keeps doing the boot loop.

I have tried to use the Samsung Smart Switch recovery and initialisation, but when I enter my model and s/n it then prompts me to access the [vol down + home + power] followed by vol-up to install ... but doesn't then activate the 'OK' button, that remains greyed out, so can't continue with that.

So at moment, seems a bit of a paperweight, I can access TWRP and install ROMs it seems, but then won't actually boot up into it.

In ODIN mode, it reads the following, if this helps at all:

Product Name: SM-G925F

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Official

Reactivation Lock: Off

Secure Download: Enabled

KNOX Warranty Void: 1 (0x0304)

AP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2

Somewhere along the line, probably installing the kernel, when I get the boot loop now, it also has some red text along the top of screen which reads:

KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

So no idea now what I can/should do.

Can anyone help me please?

I'm not even sure if it's worth sending back to Samsung now, as they'll probably say it's void [due to that KNOX Warranty Void: 1], right?

I'd be happy to get any ROM working on it if I can.

I did manage to get my data off using adb so that was good, but seems my phone itself is useless right now.

Thanks

Have u tryed flashing stock firmware threw odin?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Just trying that.

I got the stock firmware from here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/EVR/

Which is for the EE version of my SM-G925F.

Then clicking the top link there which is for 5.1.1 version.

That links me to this page with the download:

edit:

And now when I reboot with the Vol-down + home + power button combo.

It doesn't go to the recovery mode, it now shows that blue screen with the following text:

An error has occurred while

updating the device software.

Use the Emergency recovery function

in the Smart Switch PC software.

I did try that last night and the final button after entering my model and seriel number was greyed out so couldn't continue.

i'll try that again now though..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
That didn't work either, it looked like it was and showed the percentage climb up to 100 when downloading it, but then gave this error:

Still same if I reboot, again, it says:

An error has occurred while

updating the device software.

Use the Emergency recovery function

in the Smart Switch PC software.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
use smartswitch without the cable connected to computer. put your serial in and let the software work.. after a while it will prompt you to connect your device and put it in download mode, follow these instructions and it will rebiuld your SW to the original(region) but note that you will loose everything. so.. do it all but WITHOUT the cable plugged in from the start :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
here is a pic on how it should look. (sorry, it`s in swedish)

this is WITHOUT the cable connected from phone to computer. don`t connect it untill it has downloaded the correct SW for your phone and it will tell you to connect it by using download mode
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Well that went through the entire install process, and confirmed complete at the end, requesting that I disconnect then reconnect the cable.

But, is now still back to where it was originally the other day ... in that it is stuck in a boot loop.

Looks to have reset the s/w though, as now when I do the Vol-Up + home + power, it loads the blue screen with android, then the anim where he falls over dead, then loads the Android system recovery [rather than the TWRP one]. And also the red text KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING is no longer showing on the boot loop screen.

My poor phone :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
I can`t see why this did not work, this "rebuilds" your entire SW and you should be fine, after you do this. please try updating the SW by using smartswitch with the cable connected(as it should recodnize your phone after the rebuild)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Still no luck.

It did recognise it, and ran through the initialising again, and got to the 100% and phone restarted, but then still in that boot loop.

Then when connect again it failed to recognise phone, so I had to do what you'd suggested earlier and let the s/w download again first prior to connecting to the cable. Then it did recognise, but again the same thing, ran through to 100% and said had been reset and that phone will restart and to disconnect cable.

Then I do that, the blue screen shows for a bit with the android logo, then small text says 'erasing' ... then it reboots, but boots into Samsung logo boot screen again and loops.

So I just when into recovery mode and powered down.

Sounds like it's properly dead then, but does fact can get into the recovery settings mean it's not a brick yet, even though it wont actually accept the s/w reset it seems.

Wonder if I sent it to Samsung they'd be able to do anything with it there?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
as long as you can reach recovery..there is always a way to recover, so not fully dead yet :D

I have 12000 musics uploaded on my GPM and I having some problems

1) some artists aren't grouped like on GPM

2) some albuns aren't completly downloaded

3) constant GPM plugin FC

https://goo.gl/photos/Wddsaywn2d4PUNtJ7
[Encore Music] XpLoDWilD:
Hello vinaaa,

Thanks for your reports.

1) We're going to change our algorithm to group artists by name instead of just by identifier, somehow Google has multiple identifiers for the same artist, leading in this kind of problem with big libraries.

2) Could you elaborate on that? Are you missing tracks in some albums?

3) We're constantly working on that too :)
[Encore Music] vinaaa:
#2 If you open the link you will see some SS, from GPM and Encore, you can see the complete album on GPM bu on Encore the same album just have one music.

Maybe it could be a consequence of issue #1

Anyway, do you have a beta or alpha program?
[HTC Desire 610] BlackJaffa:
Im giving my HTC Desire 610 to a family member, but want to remove everything from the phone. i have unrooted the phone, and tried to update to the newest android, but when the phone reboots, it comes up with TWRP. Is there a way to remove TWRP, and replace it with just the stock recovery, and so everything would be as if it was fresh out of the box?
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
Well, first, re-root it. Then download the stock recovery.img file and download flashify, install the stock recovery.img through flashify. Then, delete the supersu ask from your system apps folder and/ or your data apps using a file explorer, then in a file explorer again go to system/ xbin and delete the su file, and then you will have uninstalled twrp and root
[HTC Desire 610] michelkovacic:
and relock bootloader. But even than, i thing firmware update will not working, because bootloader is "tempered".

Like the title says, i don't have any problem with hosts file until I click on the web version of Google Play to install an app. The page says it'll install it but I get a notification on the phone saying it couldn't be downloaded (error code 924). I then go to hosts and discover there's a new line added, delete it to the default one, save, and I'm able to install the app.

Everything works fine until yet again I try to install an app from the web version of Play, the hosts file is once again modified. I tried just now and here's what hosts says:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acuriousman:
Hi all.

I've been trying ALL DAY to load the stock/generic ROM for the BLU Studio Energy but it just isn't working.

I tried everything. I made sure my VCOM Mediatek drivers were properly installed, made sure I was using the latest version of SP Flash, and made sure I had the most up to date USB drivers.

However, whenever I try to load anything in SP Flash, it doesn't load at all. It just hangs there until I hit stop. I don't even think it's detecting my device. I have the proper scatter files loaded, but it still does nothing.

PLEASE

can anybody help me with this? I just want to load the generic Studio Energy ROM, nothing fancy.

Thank you for reading.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeMG:
Hey guys, it's my first post here, hope someone is able to help!

A few weeks ago I bought my LG G3. It had a problem, it was randomly rebooting throughout the day. I was told that installing a custom ROM might help, so I installed CloudyG3. It didn't help with reboots at all. Then I was told that getting a new battery might fix it. Getting a new battery didn't fix it either. I Decided to re-install the ROM, flashed with Autorec, went online to download and install TWRP and it restarted right at that time..... Now I'm getting "unfortunately system UI has stopped working" error non-stop. I did factory reset but it doesn't help. Now I can't even pass initial setup screen you get after factory-reset because for whatever reason I can't select Wi-Fi in the "Set Internet Connection" page (I keep tapping it but it can't be selected. I think the non-stop UI error I mentioned above keeps interrupting it) which is awful because you can't pass the setup screen without signing into your google account. The worst part is that I can't boot into recovery because I'm an idiot and deleted TWRP after installing Cloudy 2 weeks ago.. If only I knew..

Anyways, am I completely screwed here? is my phone "Bricked"? what should I do? If you know of any solutions, links to the relevant guides/threads would be greatly appreciated.

What should the header line be in the .reg file for import with total commander/sk-tools...etc?

"REGEDIT 4" or "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"

when I exported using CEREGEDIT the header = "REGEDIT 4" and when I used total commander on my PPC I selected the key "copy to clipboard" and pasted in a directory on my SD card when I open the file with notepad on my PC the header in that .reg file is "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" So now I am confused... :confused: or will either one work?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjdBonez:
According to the link below, the use of Google Voice (particularly with problems making outgoing calls) on the Note 5 may have been affected by the update to Android 5.1 in recent months:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/7v4o62rCRfI;context-place=topicsearchin/voice/5.1.1$20update

After doing some reading it looks like the problem could be specific to the DOK2 baseband version and for T-mobile users (I'm on T-mobile and took the latest OTA update and my baseband is COKC). I'm just wondering if any of you are using Google Voice regularly, particularly to make outgoing calls with your with you GV number, and having any problems? I'm looking to port my number over to GV and want to make sure this isn't an issue first...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kittendecimation:
Hi, I have found only a slight work around, I've been having issues with GV on note 4 running DOK2. I get the "call not sent" error. The easier workaround I've found is to have your contacts text your Google voice number, make sure you're not using hangouts and have your Google voice text messages routed to your native messaging app. When you receive a text you will see a foreign number at the top. +123456789 save that number as the contact who texted you default number, then anytime you call that person it will ring using your Google voice number, as long as you use the + number

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
Probably not, no. Exploits are used, but there is the problem of Sony's RIC (what if I remember correctly, makes the phone bootloop if any changes are made to the system partition) and dm-verity (this is embedded into the kernel so possibly a kernel exploit would be needed to disable it. Dm-verity also makes the phone not boot if changes are made to the system partition).

Tl;Dr No.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristianLetti:
I see...

Well, just giving my 2 cents (I don't work with phones, but have a decent NIX knowledge).

Couldn't it be done like:

1- Find the Android exploit, get a "su/sudo" access to the system.

2- Before rebooting, get a recovery (TWRP/CWM and stuff) written to where it should be.

3- Boot to recovery, install a custom kernel with DM/RIC disabled.

4- Profit? =P
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
To be able to install a custom kernel you need an unlocked bootloader with Sony phones so number 3 is out of the question. To be able to get root working properly on the Z5 there is probably going to have to be a combination of system and kernel exploits what don't make the phone reboot.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristianLetti:
Having a recovery like TWRP or CWM doesn't bypass the kernel limitations? Since the kernel won't be even loaded on this step...

I doubt it would work, but even if it did, you still couldn't install a custom kernel (one with dm-verity and Sony RIC disabled) on a locked bootloader. It fails when trying to do it via flashtool, and I'm sure it will cause a soft brick if done so via recovery.
