It has been a while, but the first time I tried to root and unencript my tab it went bad. When mine was messed up I fiddled with it a bit, and admittedly do not remember exactly what worked. But I know I used the files from:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/root-nextbook-ares-8-twrp-recovery-t3133165

And I think it might have been as simple as going into the bootloader and flashing TWRP into it.

in stock recovery

format /data and /cache, reboot to bootloader

Then using fastboot

Code:

sudo ./fastboot flash boot ./boot.img

reboot

( Actually used the windows version of flashboot, but the concept is the same)

If I recall then I had TWRP on the thing and the rest was easy.

See if that helps.

Do this, use the files on this post (it is a lighter version of the ROM anyways)

.xda-developers.com/android/development/partition-ares-8-tablet-linux-windows-t3327595

The post gives the method and code to repartiton, but you don't have to do that if you do not want.

I installed it without repartitioning and it works great. The HW overlay thing is built in so you should not have any issue if you use that ROM.

Broken link

Link is broken for me it returns a 404 error and what benefit if any would come from repartitioning, or is it just to give back a lil free space the oem was wasting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freddy999:

Hmmm........ try this.

The benefit of the repartition is a bit more free ram. The size is so large now it was not important to me.

Of it's not working either, try on another USB port, another computer, another cable, another phone with the same steps above, of it's not recognizing it on all computers, it's a faulty USB port, it may charge but no data transfer.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizard5007:
Hoping I'm not totally screwed here, but here goes. I'm swapping from one Nexus 6 to another. On stock 5.0.1 (still), rooted, and unencrypted. I made my Titanium Backups (always as a precaution) then booted to TWRP and made a nandroid backup. I was too tired to command line myself so I decided to use the Skipsoft Toolkit to pull my data. I got curious about a full backup option on there so I tried it out. First thing it did was boot an unsecured boot.img. Phone then boots back up and begins the encryption process. I knew I didn't want encryption, so I powered off mid-process. (Kicking myself for that now...) Now when I boot back up, I get the "Encryption Unsuccessful" message telling me that my data is unusable and that I must do a phone reset.

I can still get to the bootloader and boot into TWRP, but it can't see any of the data on the device--including the TWRP backup I made earlier today. Seeing as I didn't get any of my backups off before this happened, I need that TWRP or I will lose everything since my last backup on 11/6. Is there ANY way to still pull data from a partial but failed encryption? Please help!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You most likely corrupted all the data on the device.

Not sure why you thought powering off during encryption would stop it and not cause corruption.

Also dont even think about restoring a nandroid on a new device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizard5007:
Because I wasn't thinking... I know--stupid. Is there no shot at recovering anything?

I'm switching from one Nexus 6 to another. Can I not restore a nandroid to an identical device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No, no you can not. A nandroid has device spicific files in it like GPS and IMEI info. Restoring it is just asking for trouble. Only restore USER apps and data everything else is off limits.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salilpune1:
How did you fix the issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
So what specifically is in /system or /data that would be so dangerous?

Have you ever actually done this, or are you just saying stuff you have read but don't fully understand?

If you backed up every single partition its a bad idea to restore to another phone... But simple backups are fine to restore cross device if you aren't including efs
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You do know who your talking to right? I don't read things. I do them. Been doing this for over 10 years now. So just maybe you might want to know who you are talking to first.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Nope, no idea who you are.

All I know is how many times I have seen twrp backups restored on a phone it wasn't taken on with out issue?

Maybe you should actual read things and you wouldn't have an issue with it either?

Or... Care to actually explain the danger rather then just puffing your chest out because you have played with android smart phones for ten years (apparently since before it was released?)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
lol!

ok, both [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5493962]scryan[/MENTION] are right..

its highly not recommended to restore a nandroid onto a different phone if it contains system apps. that said, theres also a chance that it would be fine as well. its just that the system apps could not be supported(or could be) by the 2nd device. but even if they arent supported, it wont really harm your device, as you can fix whatever issues by just switching out the apps that are causing issues(then reboot).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well let's start out with the fact that when system apps are loaded the data loaded to is set to one device. By restoring that to another device messes it up and causes all types of issues with the app and system.

Also as stated above not all apps are compatible across devices. Could lead you to an endless bootloop.

See you have me twisted. I don't have to read about it as I do it everyday. As each device is different there is no telling that one thing will work for one but not the other.

As for doing this before android was released? Yes. Who do you think got leaks to run on wm devices before the first nexus was released? Xda and the legendary HD2.

I was modding devices before the first smartphone was even released. Then I became a moderator here. Which is requires a whole lot of learning. Like reading the source and knowing what does what.

Now you are more then welcome to flash someone else's backup, that is up to you but I will tell you that no one that knows what they are doing will do that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the Dream(G1) was Googles android developer phone before the Nexus. while a lot of people did use and mod the HD2, the G1/Dream was getting most of the developer support.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I wouldn't say most. But it was close indeed. I had them both but focused on the hd2 mostly. God I miss truly open bootloader lol.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I remember the HD2 as one of the best phone ever made.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
Just wanted to chime in here and say, I agree 1000% that I would never restore a backup from one phone to another, unless I knew for a fact I could "rescue" the phone if it locked up/got fried/ruined from the restore..

And, I have been playing with cell phones since November 1983, the first day cell service became widely available in Chicagoland, and I have been modding/tweaking/hacking them pretty much since then, so I too have "extensive" experience about what may or may not work when doing something like this..

To each his own, but I would never do this..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rachaelwriter:
I love the note series and had the original note phone, the note 3, and now the note edge. I love the use of a stylus, so I got the Toshiba Encore 2 Write 8 inch. It's a slim and neat tablet, but I find that I want a bigger screen and would like to go back to android.

So I'm probably going to put the Toshiba on swappa and I'm thinking I can afford the note 10.1.

How is the battery life for the older devices?

How is memory? I've seen 16 and 32 gig, but since it's expandable, I wasn't sure if it mattered as much.

Advice?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zheen:
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a tablet now. It is really outdated in my opinion. Screen isn't good, RAM is 2 GB, etc.

I get that you like to use the stylus, but still I don't recommend this. I would get something like the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 which isn't pricey and is a great tablet IMO.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rachaelwriter:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] newbe101:
On the Retail Note 4 when you type something in Periscope the keyboard blocks the screen and you can't see the person you're texting.

But with the Rooted DE Note 4 you can use the MultiWindow Plus feature and split the screen and see who your talking to.

Also Periscope uses so much battery power that being able to swap batteries is essential.

Hi,

I am using XML to provision and configure my PDA with settings and I have a couple of questions for anyone who has done this before. I have some settings working so I got cocky and thought I could do some more but I now need a little help with this...

Needless to say I am very grateful for any help/advice I can get on these...

1. Using XML I want to be able to delete unhelpful registry entries such as today items

2. I would also like to be able to set the following values in seconds:

BattSuspendTimeout

ACSuspendTimeout

3. I would like to be able to increase my Screen\Text Size up one level from the default

4. I would like to be able to creat shortcuts in the program menu for Office via the XML/CPF route but do not know the correct syntax

Is there a good resource for making these changes? I have serahced Google and come across various MS Visual Studio elements but not much for the XML, MakeCab, CPF route.

All the best, and thank you for anyone who can help me,

Sam.

The best place to look is the MSDN books.

[Sony Xperia ZL] carlos1984:
Hi All,

I recently tried to fix my older sons xperia zl, The phone would not power on, it did not show any signs of life when plugged in to a computer. Tried all the different button combos and the off button at the back of unit but still nothing.

So I opened it up and checked each component visually, did not notice anything wrong.

I decides to see what would happen if I disconnected the battery and plugged it in to just usb to the computer.

Well it showed up in device manager as a SEMC flash device, and the red notification light came on. Then it started to try to turn on without me pushing the power button, the screen gets to the sony logo and then goes black and starts again.

The next thing I tried was to flash a new rom to it, under Flashtools it automatically goes in to flash mode, found my rom and hit flash and it completed the flash. Disconnected the usb , connected the battery but nothing no power and still nothing in device manager.

Another weird thing that happens is that while the battery is disconnected and i hold the vol+ a blue notification light turns on and the phones goes into fastboot mode.

I initially thought the battery was the problem so I ordered a new one and installed it but the same thing keeps happen, anytime the battery is connected the phones does not react to and buttons, even when the usb charging cable is also connected.

I am wondering if someone has a schematic or know of a capacitor, resistor or fuse that is stopping the phone from recognizing the battery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] km8j:
A few days ago, an official Samsung Twitter handle posted a promo video showing someone dropping their phone from a few feet onto concrete and then falling into the pool. They didn't show the phone but it said something like "find out what a phone can handle 2/21". Obviously the water resistance was talked about a lot today but can the thing take a drop? If so, why wasn't it talked about?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dandroid13:
It was, you missed it, lol.

Obviously, it can take a drop into the water, not the floor. xD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] km8j:
Wait... You are saying it takes a drop in the water, not the ground. If that is what they talked about then I didnt miss it. Look at this: http://bgr.com/2016/02/18/galaxy-s7-screen-drops-waterproof/. This is what I'm referring to.

Yeah, it itsn't shock resistant. Just IP68 rated, dust tight and water resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] km8j:
So where did this marketing come from? Was it real?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dandroid13:
lol idk why they pulled that it would be shock resistant. The video clearly shows the device falling to the ground and then into the water, but that's just a commom thing. Not like you would drop it directly into the water intentionally.

But this video says it's impact resistant. I don't remember they mentioning this. :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] thomas.dub:
Did you read/find the specs for the official Wireless charger ? (I've not)

The only thing I've read was the S7 is quicker to charge than the S6, supposing with the same charger.

I've never clearly read that the S7 is Qi compatible, and I hope so, because I've a lot of Qi charger here :)

But I've seen that some processors have an impact about wireless chargers, I hope that the quicker charge is compatible with standard Qi charger (maybe it's one of the last question I have before pre-ordering ! )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] km8j:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] km8j:
So does anyone know the difference of the aftermarket chargers such as anker and the OEM fast one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Michael_P:
The specs I've been reading say the Samsung chargers still only output up to 1A which any amount of QI chargers do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
It should be double that, 10watts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] km8j:
What should be?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
The amp output, 2amps = 10 watts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Michael_P:
That's more like the input voltage because 10W is 5V @ 2A which most QI chargers run at, but the wireless chargers lose a lot in the transfer.

Now maybe some chargers out there output higher but the specs on the Samsung chargers all seem to output at 5W.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
Its the output, there's even 15w wireless chargers out there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Sir_Eagle:

If you guys are looking for a wireless charger for the car (I highly recommend one, makes life so much easier) I got the iOttie onetouch Qi charger.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Th3Bill:
Depends on the case. I have a plain clear TPU case on it, and wireless charging works just fine :)

I would imagine a thicker case or different materials (say if you get something with metal in it) could affect it's performance.

All the official Sammy cases say they do. If you have a thick third party case then probably no. Any more than a few mm extra case will either prevent wireless charging or make it unreliable.

Hello all,

I have the Nexus 5 wirless charger which I use as a car mount. It is hold by the Kenu Airframe and it firmly holds the Nexus with strong magnetic force (strong enough so the phone never falls when I drive).

I found out that the Galaxy S7 could not be hold vetically with this charger, the magnetic force is not strong enough. Do you know any charger which would hold the Galaxy S7 firmly just by magnetic force ? I like to just place my phone on the mount, and avoid bulky mounts.
