[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello,

I have managed to successfully root and install cyanogenmod 13 onto my Galaxy Note 3.

I have been trying to do the same on my partners Galaxy S5 SM-G901F - It currently has Lollipop on it.

I connect the S5 via Odin and download mode, Select TWRP, Apply it to the phone, Odin says its passed. The phone will reboot, then load back up to the normal lock screen as if nothing has happened. Turning the phone off then rebooting in recovery mode just gives the stock recovery.

I have read online that there is a line of code that runs on bootup on the phone that checks the recovery.img file and replaces it if it has been tinkered with. When I did my Note3 I found a script that somebody had made to stop a Note3 from doing this. I cannot find the equivilent though for the S5.

Could anyone please advise, provide a solution etc? A bit stumped now.

Many thanks

Neil

Hi,

I am a newbie here and rooting. I got my HTC 610 last year and unlocked the bootloader and it worked out fine.

recently, my phone keeps asking me to update so I did, but it won't flash the update in twrp, claiming that the MD5 file missing and failed to update. I ignored this for a while but then I decided to give it a try. searching through the internet how to do it, accidentally wiped the OS. Then it stuck on the HTC logo screen, I held the power and vol + to turn it off. and now get into the TWRP Recovery.

May anyone please help me that how I can fix this? thank you thank you very much.
[HTC Desire 610] michelkovacic:
do you have AT&T device or European?
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
So what you are going to want to do is download the ROM for your region (America, European, or Asia) and then send it to your phone via your PC and flash it through twrp. Or, you can do the same process but with the cyanogenmod for your phone if you prefer
[HTC Desire 610] w.catkin:
thanks guys for the replies. I managed to fix it last night that download the Poland rom from this forum.

Do you know where I can download the UK ROM? thanks

Hi, I was flashing the Empora ROM this evening and followed the instructions exactly.

My Phone will not power on and when I try to into recovery I get this instead.

Warning!!

"A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.

If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.

Otherwise press volume down to cancel.''

When I press up it puts me in download mode and down I get stuck in a black screen.

Not sure what I did wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated to get back into TWRP and at least restore my back up.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyPlato:
Do you have the latest bootloader and modem? If not, Odin the latest oem ROM first.

1. Pull the battery out for 30 sec.

2. Put battery back in, power up in Download mode

3. Odin the correct TWRP to the phone

4. boot to TWRP, flash Empora ROM.

5. Reboot and wait 15 mins, enjoy.

Hola buenas tardes amigos,tengo lg g2 mini d625

el cual se me briqueo tratando de desbloquear el bootloader, al final descubri que no tenia

entonces lo que hice fue conaectarlo sin bateria al pc y dejar presionado vol + hasta que

lo detecta como APX, pero no me sirvio de nada ya que no e podido iniciarlo

lo lleve donde un amigo y lo que iso fue desbriquearlo con jtag pero no se arreglo ya que la placa base funciona pero al armar el celular no inicia correctamente

es decir el la riff box si lo detecta y lo flashea pero cuando se arma el celular no inicia,ni carga sigue estando en apx

y leyendo por ahi dicen que es el modo para flashear los celulares con chip tegra o que no hay una conexion entre el gestor de arranque

Want to give the "old" Universal to my mum. And WM6 is much better than WM5 (for example the possibility to search an email directly by starting to type the first few letters)

But because she can't understand english I wanted to flash her the device with an WM6 with German language. The only one I found was the one from Darkforce which is rather old.

Does there exist a newer one?

Or should I perhaps switch to an WM5 ROM? But the T-Mobile Original ROM is so much modified. I don't have a plain one. Oh man. Need to do this till tomorrow morning. That's about 12 hours from now ;-)

If someone has an Idea I would be really grateful.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] funkeywoookey:
All carriers cap the size of MMS. If they didn't, you could send gigabytes of files and really hog up the MMS server.

T-Mobile and AT&T both cap at 1MB.

The reason you didn't get downsizing with your iPhone is likely because iMessage can route texts through its own servers if the recipient also has an iPhone, which makes the MMS cap much larger
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Lancerz:
If you text someone who has t-mobile and they have a Note 5 or S6 etc then you can send full size mms with no cap or compression.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
MMS has a cap that sits somewhere between 1.5-1.8mb. Carriers will also include their own cap, like the 1mb for tmo.

If you were sending full size images on an iPhone it is because iMessage was handling the traffic, its like sending a photo over Whatsapp or Kik, there is no compression because they are not limited by MMS spec..

Hey

I'm wondering what browsers do you use on your tablets. I'm using aosp one for most of the time but it's pretty slow nowadays and I'm looking for something new. I tried chrome/chromium based browsers and they're fast but ram usage is huge and that makes them work bad with bigger pages.

What browser gives you the best experience on your tab 2?

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marmalade_Shaws:
Hey guys,

I am sorry if I am in the wrong place or am asking something wrong. This is my first time using these forums (and forums in general). If I need to be somewhere else kindly redirect me.

Anyway, I was with Verizon for a while but after some shady stuff I decided to break up with them. Beforehand I had bought outright a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. Because I did not want anything Verizon on it I decided to root it, and flash a good ROM onto it (Cyanogenmod was my idea, but at the time I don't think they supported it? I'm not good with ROMS). Anyway, the rooting was completely successful and I had a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. I was ready to flash the ROM. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and grabbed the wrong ROM. What ended up happening is when I attempted to reboot after "flashing", the device didn't show anything on the screen and just kept vibrating. After some digging around I found it might be "soft-bricked". I had at one time found a guide that told me how to undo this by using SDK Tools and Fastboot Mode (blue LED), but cannot find the guide anymore.

I was wondering if ANYONE could help me undo this mistake, and get the tablet back to it's original state or with a nice compatible ROM. I am currently in Fastboot mode and it is plugged into my ASUS Laptop running Windows 7. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much for taking time to read this.

EDIT: So a breakdown is I cannot interact with the tablet directly. There is absolutely no interface. Just a screen that won't turn on. Meaning if there is a method it can't be done on the tablet. The old guide I found was explaining how to do it through Windows while the tablet was plugged into it via USB.

Also the bootloader was never unlocked so I think that was also an issue.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
First of all, if your bootloader is locked, you cannot install CM because you cannot change the Kernel. You can only use Sony-certified Kernels which won't work with CM. So Sony-based ROMs are your only options

But what you can do is:

- Go into fastboot mode (turn off your tablet, connect it to your PC and press volume up. If the blue LED shows up, you are in fastboot)

- With fastboot, you should be able to flash a ROM (preferably Android 4.4, so you can root again)

- Then root, install dual recovery

- Flash the correct ZIP

Alternative:

- Unlock Bootloader

- Flash recovery

- Flash CM
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marmalade_Shaws:
Can you simplify this? Where do I find the ROM (again, this was a tablet from Verizon so I assume on top of the Sony ROM I need the Verizon version of it?) And I understand I cannot install CM unless the bootloader is unlocked; do you know how to do this?

I'm confused by the first set of instructions as I cannot use the tablet directly. How will I flash the ROM (and which is the right ROM and where can I find it?) through the computer since the tablet can't be interacted with. There is absolutely no interface to interact with whatsoever. Which ROM do I download for the Verizon Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and how do I flash it using Fastboot? I assume I do it thru my computer?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
Sorry, but you'll have to Google a little bit - I haven't had your exact problem.

But as long as you can get into fastboot mode, nothing is lost.

There also is the Sony ftf tool or so, the Windows program name is Emma. This should be easier than using fastboot.

Also there is a sony site for bootloader unlocking. You can check whether your bootloader can be unlocked at all.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazk:
I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.

I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).

I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.

Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.

[Acer Iconia A500] airman32:
Hi,

I have an Acer A500 that I'm trying to resurrect after my son tried to root the device. I'm new to this and have checked many sites in search for a solution to this issue (if possible). I'm not sure what all my son did to this device so please bear with me. After reviewing several posts I find my issue unique where as some members may have simular issues I still have not been able to isolate my issues.

The issue: The device is stuck in APX mode with a black screen.

1) The Power Button does illuminate when powered "On" but the screen is "black". There is NO vibration when turned on.

2) The Battery life is good on this device.

3) When the device is powered "On" and connected to my PC the "Blackthund3r A500 manager" display "A500 connected in APX mode. Please Install drivers!"

4) Using Ubuntu I was able to get the "CPUID" and with "SBCalc_v1.1" I was able to get the "SBK".

5) Performing a startup utilizing reset button and On button has no effect

6) Going to "On" with the Vol + pressed has no effect

7) Using "AfterOTA 1.09" on the first "Info" tab under "Tablet Information" it displays Driver "OK driver installed", under USB it displays "ERROR - connect USB cable and enable USB debugging". Everything else displays "waiting for connection". Pressing "Reconnect Tablet" has no effect.

So far that's all I have been able to do to this unit with NO success. I welcome any feedback on this issue.

it will install recovery and unlocked bootloader and format all the partions back to default

then you can flash updated recoveries roms etc, from there

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LowNote:
Last night I was using my phone while it was charging, but the battery was being depleted by the apps I was running faster then it was being charged. When it got down to around 3% I decided to call it a night, tapped the power button to turn off the screen, and put my phone on my nightstand so it could charge overnight like I usually do. Shortly after that I heard the phone vibrate where it shut itself off due to the battery dying which I've had happen before while trying to charge my battery when it gets to a very low charge percentage, so I didn't think anything of it and went to sleep.

This morning when I woke up I saw that my phone was stuck on the "Samsung Note II" black bootup screen and tried holding the power button to turn it off. That didn't work so I took out the battery and reinserted it. When I tried to power it back on nothing happened and even though the charger was plugged in there was no red or green charging indicator LED showing.

Since then I've tried taking out the battery and leaving it out while holding the power button for 30 seconds which I read is supposed to clear the RAM in case that is causing an issue. I've also tried connecting my Note 2 to my computer using another charging cable and it still doesn't show as charging or as being connected to my PC. I've had it plugged in for about 3 hours now in case my battery had been completely drained since it may have been stuck on the bootup screen all night long but so far after around 3 hours I'm still not getting any response from my phone.

Now I'm completely at a loss of what to do so I was hoping someone here who had a similar issue could help or if there are any other remedies for troubleshooting I could try go through. I've ordered a replacement battery from amazon which comes with an external charger but I won't be receiving it until Monday. The only other remedy I've found online is removing a capacitor but I'm going to be holding off on doing that until I've exhausted every other option available.

So a hydrogen mm build, have been leaked. Download link is at post Mod edit: Links to closed beta software removed.

I have now flashed it, and everything seems good. One thing tho, as the user djsubterrain said "I wouldn't flash that leak, it seems to have a modified boot image that won't let you use power+vol down, it lets you into the bootloader but even if you flash TWRP it won't let you reboot into it, also, because it's obviously a chinese image, it doesn't have any google play or services." I have now tryed to boot into TWRP, and it simply can't. I will be checking if there is a workaround.
