[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aganar:
Not quite, no. I'm referring to full disk encryption, which was recommended as of 6.0. See here . However, my understanding is that even the newer nexus phones are still using software encryption , so I'm not sure if the recommendation only applies to certain classes of processor and / or if the M9 qualifies.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregsarg:
Haven't tried full encryption yet....but I'm going to..

I do not know if the M9 classification is "full disk"....like apple....but I'm going to find out...g

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Edit:

I'm reading that upgraded devices cannot support full disk encryption...and only devices that meet certain performance criteria shipping with 6.0 will have true encryption...

Heck it's a confusing mess...g
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aganar:
So to clarify, it's not about devices not supporting full disk encryption--you've been able to encrypt your devices for many years now. Like I said, I fully encrypted my M7 about two years ago--but it turned the performance to crap. The recommendation was for encrypting devices by default. Google had made this recommendation back in Lollipop, but they backed off that recommendation, because at the time the encryption/decryption was all being done in software, which meant that the devices got slower over time. With Marshmallow, I believe hardware-level decryption was added, at least with some line of processors. So my question was whether the M9's chipset was sufficiently new/powerful such that it could support Marshmallow's hardware decryption and make it feasible to fully encryption the device without the massive performance loss.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregsarg:
M9 is capable of full disc encryption at the hardware level...but

It is not being utilized...based on every scrap of information I can find...g
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aganar:
So I take it then that no one has encrypted their M9? Surely someone is paranoid enough to have tried.

Sd encryption is for using the sdcard as internal memory. The phone is the only thing in the entire known universe that can read that sd card.

Its a waste of time and effort.

Ok, I just want to know if my phone is hard bricked, or if I still have a chance...

I tried to install an update (121 to 170 for plk-l01) on my rooted phone, with local update. It didn't worked, twrp show errors everywhere, and after turning off know i can't access the recovery. when I press on vol+/- and power for 10-15 second, it vibrate but nothing else.

Is there anything I can do ? my phone isn't recognized by my computer, by the way...
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korenisko:
Why you did that? You can't update rooted phone
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Try to boot into fastboot (phone turned off - connect with data usb to the computer - vol down + power on). Extract rom which is currently installed or higher (for your respective model) and flash from it:

fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img

fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img

fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img

fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img

Reboot.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idiocrate:
Thanks, but unfortunately, it just 'boot' as others reboots. it vibrates, doesn't get recognize and doesn't turn on...

If anyone have any clue on how to force recognizing the phone storage, it might really help ^^
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
That is what my phone is doing, I tried to upgrade to marshmallow though with no root!! I put the zip in the dload folder and went through the upgrade process everything went through the phone rebooted and now its dead. Blank screen and if you hold power after a few seconds it will vibrate but that is it. I presume its hard bricked? no matter what combo of buttons I press I cannot get it in to fastboot.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idiocrate:
ok I'm looking for a solution for hours now... so I just lokked how works our phone and I think the trouble must be in the preloader, because I can't even make my phone being recognized by any computer and I can't access to recovery.

I found this :

http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/

Which could help. I'll leave that topic on for some days (if it could help someone) and I'll open a new one to know if there is any easier solution ! thanks and good luck.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
I sorted mine, it was only 2 days old so I got it replaced by the shop I bought it on. I would say it was something like a pre loader from what I saw. I have never bricked an Android phone and I must have had 15-20 of them since my first HTC Magic and before that Windows Mobile which again I messed with tons reloading with all sorts of ROM's!! These phones are wayyyy too sensitive to being messed with, I always remember though that you never mess with the boot loaders, but it looks like these updates do to get it bricked to that point.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Do you have adb debugging activated on the phone? Did you try to hold phone buttons long enough?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idiocrate:
Euuum..... maybe yes ? I used fastboot but I don't think it really matters now, there's nothing working on it. And I've sometimes hold the buttons for 30-40 second while praying lol
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idiocrate:

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSeekerHS:
I just hard bricked my Honor 7 the same way. Is there really no solution? Other China-Phones are pretty much unbrickable, since you can always fix it via the preloader. No such luck here? Back to the shop and hope they actually replace it? While I admit it was stupid to just hastily start the OTA while having twrp and not stock recovery (no root, though), this is a terrible design flaw on Huaweis side.

Anyway... any hope or no chance?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Hello,

My friends own an htc m8. A non professional lab has flashed him Android Revoultion Rom (without making a wipe, he used to use stock rom before that)

Since than the device suffer from a lot of problem,we would like to flash a stock rom.

What's the problem? the device refuses to go into bootloader at all & than refuses to turn on, only after a while in the charger it does turn on.

But any attempt to make the device go into the bootloader, has failed.

tried also RUU - it won't load the bootloader, and the pc recognize him as QHSUSB_BULK if the device is off, which is soft brick as far a i know.

The device actually turn on after a while, than when i connect it to the PC, the pc does recognize him normally.

What's the best option to flash a recovery and a stock rom?

Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
There is definately some information missing here. Flashing a ROM without wiping will never get you into this state, unless maybe the ROM was meant for a different device.

It sounds more like a deleted bootloader partition, or borked eMMC.

It's bricked. You need to take it to a shop to see if they can JTAG it back to life.

Sorry.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Hey,

We don't know what they have done exactly

They device does turn on after a while... Can i just flash the whole bootloader through the computer anyhow? If the device is on, the computer does recognize him and i can use adb/transfer files.

In a few minutes when the device will turn on i'll write the software information

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Have you tried turning off the phone, and booting it by holding down power + vol down? That should take you to bootloader. It's not bricked if you can boot it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Tried that already...Doesn't work. The device refused to turn on that way.

Tried also through adb/an app when the device was on (yeah it's rooted), than the device turned off and the computer see it as QHSUSB_BULK.

Than i have to plug it off the pc, connect to AC and after a while it's just turn on by itself....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Not sure about this. If you didn't have a bootloader, I don't think your phone would boot at all.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:

Anyway, there's no way of getting into bootloader :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you enable developer options and within those option check USB debugging, so it's enabled. If not got to "settings > about > software information > more" and tab the build number entry several times until you get prompt the developer options have been enabled. Then got to developer options and check USB debugging. Try running the RUU again. Many this already works. Otherwise we'd have to look further.

I hgve already enabled dev options. once the ruu tries go get into the bootloader, the device just turn off and i can see on pc device manager it's QHSUSB_BULK
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Meaning what, specifically? Stuck on HTC logo screen, or something else?

As long as the screen is on (on any screen), you can:

1) Hold Power + vol up for 20-30 second, which will force a reboot.

2) The moment the screen goes dark, let go of those buttons, and

only

hold vol down. Don't let go until the bootloader appears.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Tried that yesterday but i have tried that again right now.

Does not work....doesn't load bootloader and the screeen remains black. Brick.... :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm still confused about what you are describing, and I think others trying to help are confused also.

You said the phone boots, but not normally. I asked what that meant specifically (which you did not answer at all). Stuck on HTC screen?

So the screen is on, when you try the button sequence I suggested? Then when the screen goes black to reboot, it just stays black?

Hard to help, if you don't provide details and specifics.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
The phone boot and you can use it, that's how i have provided information from the settings. If i try to reboot, the device does not turn on. only after about 5 minutes.

same for bootloader. if you try to get into bootloader from adb for example, than there is only a black screen and after a few minutes it's just load the OS normally. but no bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So if you try the button combo I suggested, it eventually boots to OS? Are you still holding vol down when it boots to OS? If not, you should be (and let go too early).

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

What's the exact adb command? I'm sure you probably have it right, but just want to confirm.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
It doesn't boot when i try the button combo... and after a few minutes it boot to OS.

also tried though an app because the device is rooted.... and also through RUU. The RUU restart the device and should make him to go into bootloader but it failes doing it.

adb reboot-bootloader

when the device is turned off the pc only see it as QHSUSB_BULK
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It still really confusing how you are phrasing things "It doesn't boot . . . after a few minutes it boot"

Either it boots (just takes a long time; or boot OS, but not bootloader) or it doesn't.

Holding power + vol down makes it shutdown, right? Once the screen goes dark, hold

only

vol down and

don't stop

until you either see bootloader or the OS loads. Its not clear from the way you've typed it, but it sounds like you are pressing vol down for a while, then give up and let go, then it eventually loads OS.

I understand that it doesn't look like it wants to boot into bootloader, from any method. But we really need to eliminate all possibilities and be

sure

you can't do it with the button combo.

Its really unusual to see a device that can boot into OS, but not go into bootloader at all. I've never seen this once, after being on these forums extensively over the course of 4 different HTC Android devices.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Yes, Holding power + vol down makes it shutdown. After the screen goes dark, i tried to hold only vol down. nothing happends. tried to hold it for a few minutes. nothing.

When i release it, only after a few minutes, the device load the OS by itself (if i try to press the power button it doesn't work at all)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So how do you know whether releasing the button is a condition of it booting, or a coincidence?

For that matter, how do you know it won't go to bootloader if vol down is held when it finally powers on?

I'd say the answer to both those questions is: you

don't

know. At least, not for sure.

How long is a "few minutes"? 3 minutes? 10 minutes?

Maybe hold down the vol down button with some tape, if you can hold it down manually the whole time?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
It's doesn't really Matter, as the adb/ruu/quick bot app should have be able to load the bootloader....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It

does

matter. As I already explained, you should eliminate all possibilities. At least I assume that someone who genuinely want to fix the phone would try every possibility.

You spent about as much time replying, as it would have taken to try my suggestion.

I agree, I don't think it will work. But you

don't

know if you don't try.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efi2222:
Who said i haven't? ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That road goes both ways. Who said you did?

You

certainly didn't.

If all your response says is "It doesn't matter" what am I supposed to assume?

If you fail to provide the proper information on what you've tried and the results; then how would we know? For that matter why should anyone bother to help; as it seems like you are more interested in complaining and arguing, than actually fixing anything.

Good luck with your broken phones.

Hi everyone! So I have a Asus Fone Pad 7 that I would like to root. The bootloader is locked and I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to access root privileges. I've ran basically all the "easy root" programs, King Root, One Click, Framaroot , towel root, etc including Zenfone root kit. I've done so much reading and either im doing something wrong with the process (which I don't believe I am, considering I've gained root access with my Galaxy Grand Prime) or its just impossible? Which I don't believe it is, possibly because the popularity of the phone it may not be out there the way it is for other phones? I read Asus provided root access but when you call Customer Service all they said is that they 'provided' a bootloader unclocker, which is a toolkit. And at that they deny it unless you mention you read they do then they will continue to help you. I think it also depends on the representative? I spoke with 1 guy and he was in the process of providing the toolkit until my phone lost service. Everyone else I've spoken to says the don't recommend it and can't help me and remind me it'll void my warranty. Im lost and confused but I know it is possible! So if anyone would happen to know how or could help me figure out how to unlock the bootloader I would greatly appreciate it! That's the only thing I need. On my developer options it doesn't give me the option to unlock the bootloader like it does in my Galaxy Grand a prime when I'm in developer mode

If this is posted in the wrong area, I apologize.

I have a rooted LG G3 with TWRP running KitKat. No custom ROM (I rooted it primarily so that I could write to the SD card).

Lately my phone has running strangely lately. It becomes unresponsive for >10 seconds from time to time. Sometimes I press the power button and it won't wake up. So I want to reset my phone and upgrade to Lollipop and load a custom ROM (maybe Cyanogenmod or Cloudy custom ROM). I'm going to use TWRP and Titanium to back everything up on the phone first.

I haven't loaded custom ROMs since my HTC EVO 3D, so it's been a while. I had some (very) basic questions:

If I do a factory reset, will I lose root? I really want to get rid of the stupid non-responsive problem, but I don't want to lose root.

If I load a custom ROM, do I need a specific version of Android to do it? I don't want to load and incompatible ROM and brick my phone.

I've seen posts of people trying to go back to KitKat. Are there any issues with Lollipop that would make my phone issues worse?

Since I can't take OTA updates, how would I upgrade my Android if I have to? Will I lose root if I upgrade?
