seriously guys, there are hundreds of post on this topic here on xda. No one is able to do a search?

This is so important for you, and no one do a search?

And it's not even hard to take out: see the picture in attachement.

and there is even more than a process. Just yesterday I learned another one:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] th3oriesfus3d:
I have just recived my phone, currenly has WM6 on it. The phone is uinlocked, and CID unlocked, I have been reading for a while but there are just so many different ROMs to choose from that I would like an opinion regarding that ROM i should use.

Also is there a way to back up the current ROM i have just in case?

Finally what Radio ROM should I use? I live in Miami Florida and use Cingular as my provider. Again there are just so many different versions I would like the imput from experienced users to suggest what might suite best.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
In the end it all comes down to what rom you find is best. I hear Schaps' roms are good (theres a few...million) and for your first i'd advise a full ROM.

I prefer a lite ROM, where most all programs are taken out so i can put in what i like, but u should play around with a full one to see what apps u like/dislike first.

As for backing up a ROM, u can backup everything IN a ROM with spb backup (just use the trial), but if say you didnt like another ROM and wanted to go back, you would have to reflash the ROM you have the backup for then restore all the settings, files, etc.

For radio, i always see 1.48 and 1.50 commonly referred to as the "best."

In the future tho, try using this to find what you need first :) There are a number of "best rom"/"best radio" threads floating around.

Good luck and flash safe ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minerael:
Hey there, I know it might sounds strange, it's also very first time I'm seeing something like this myself.

Basically... When I connect my s6 edge + to wifi in my flat for the first time, with password or not, I'm getting full speed (50 mbit/s) but when I turn off wifi and turn on again with password saved - speed of connection stays at 7 - 10 mbit/s, no matter what I do. However when I forget password and that connect again from the begining until I turn my wifi off, I'm getting max speed.

My girlfriend has normal s6, she doesn't have such problem. That means that something is going on with my mobile... But what? Tried factory reset, still nothing. I really don't have any ideas.

Pure stock unrooted.

Please help!

Hi all,

I have a rather weird issue. I had a bootlooping h815, which was replaced by a new h815 running marshmallow (v20d). I inserted my sd card and instructed the camera app to save on (external) sd card. However, the gallery app by lg shows only the photos I took with the new phone. It totally ignores the other 400 photos under DCIM/Camera which are in exactly the same directory as the new photos.

Do you have any hint how I can view my old photos with the gallery app?

Best regards

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeregrineX:
I've tried multiple methods, but I can't seem to get the pre-rooted ROM to flash properly, however, the completely stock ROM flashes just fine, so I'm wondering what in the heck I'm doing wrong.

Here's what I've done after I add the su binaries and deodexed:

-- make_ext4fs WITH -s

-- make_ext4fs WITHOUT -s

-- make_ext4fs WITHOUT -s THEN img2simg

-- This method

After those, I tried these:

-- tar -H ustar -c sboot.bin cm.bin boot.img recovery.img system.img cache.img modem.bin >> Flash.tar

-- tar cfx Flash.tar sboot.bin cm.bin boot.img recovery.img system.img cache.img modem.bin

-- Using 7zip to add the file to a pre-existing tar

-- Renaming system.img to system.img.ext4 (Didn't fail, but it just hanged at recovery at the top and system.img.ext4 as the last log entry)

However, every time it gets to the system.img, it fails, saying "Complete(Write) operation failed."

Is there any fix to this? Or is my phone not accepting a custom system.img?

I've used both Odin3 v3.10.7 and v1.85

Thanks in advance!

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R4gi3X:
Hello,

after updating to MM yesterday I am stuck with a strange behaviour of my phone. I already searched everywhere if anyone has the same problems but the suggested solution proposals did not work.

But let me explain the problem first:

If I don't have the phone plugged in it just doesn't want to start at all (neither vol- and power nor power alone worked).

If I plug it in however it goes straight into a bootloop but I am able to access the boot menu. The only problem is that if I want to access the recovery menu from there it just goes back to the bootloop instead of taking me to the recovery menu.

I thought about using adb or fastboot to make progress but neither of them is able to recognize the phone.

The phone is all stock, so no root or unlocked bootloader.

Any help is appreciated as I am pretty desperate to what to do with the phone as I don't have a backup of all the data on it.

Thank you!

[Blu Vivo XL] cldbld:
Long story short. I was using a Verizon branded note 2 on straight talk when my contract ended with verizon. I grew tired of the phone and purchased the blu vivo xl from amazon a few days ago. Now I know that my sim in my Verizon wouldn't work on the blu phone because it's not compatible.

So I went on chat to switch my Verizon sim to an att sim from the same byop package (which also came with a tmobile sim) They said that it could take anywhere from an hour to 2 days to convert over, and that I'll know when it happens because my note 2 will stop working. Sure enough it stopped and a bit later my blu phone started getting a signal and 4G icon.

However, it was in and out all night and since then I haven't got it back. Frustrated, I then switched it to the tmobile sim. I get the 4G lte icon and arrows move up and down. My signal goes from 2/4 bars to 3/4 bars. Now I'm thinking good that's more than what att was able to do. Wrong. Well not completely.

I can send a text and my wife will get it. Not really slow but not normal. She'll reply and I can receive it. But I can't access the internet, and I can't call or receive calls. Went on chat they gave me apns to input and still nothing. I still get 4G icon and I still get service.

I really like this phone but this transition has been really draining.

Thanks you for your help.
[Blu Vivo XL] pdolo5784:
I have no idea, I had a really smooth transition activating it onto metro. Maybe you just have spotty coverage with straight talk in your area? I'll try looking for more info
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
You need to config APN of straight talk att on your Blu XL
[Blu Vivo XL] pdolo5784:
He mentioned he entered the apns and still nothing
[Blu Vivo XL] cldbld:
Correct. The phone is loaded with apns that matched what they gave me. The straight talk for att and tmobile.

So as an update, I bought a tmobile sim, (not straight talk this time) the phone received texts from tmobile for this and that. I have good signal as indicated from the bars. 4G lte icon is on (but no data due to not having a tmobile account, but the sim is allowed 30 texts and 30 minutes of talk time until I get one)

The problem that is persisting is that I cannot make a call. I'll dial any number between my wife's, friends even my own and it just gets stuck on dialing. No operator or anything just blank. It's flashing "dialing..." but it won't actually go and do anything.

I contacted blu, and they gave me the same apns that I used and assured me that it should work on straight talk. But yet still nothing. I contacted blu again after I got the tmobile sim. I'm awaiting an answer on that before I proclaim the phone a dud and exchange with amazon.com.
[Blu Vivo XL] gjtoth:
StraightTalk is owned and operated by Tracfone. I went through more blood pressure pills dealing with them than almost any other corporation. Best bet? Switch to almost any other carrier. I use Airvoice, but there are a BUNCH of others out there with no contract, pay-as-you-go programs. Truly, there are better deals out there than StraightTalk/Tracfone. :)
[Blu Vivo XL] Ravenne:
You are having issues (I think) because different phones available through Straight Talk work on different networks. They ask for your zip code and then show you phones from different networks that will work in your area. If you use a SIM card you are AT&T or T-Mobile. Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. Check coverage maps. This will explain why your coverage is spotty now. There is a list floating around out there that shows which networks use what phones and so on for Straight Talk. Once you put the SIM card in the phone, it picks up whatever network is available in your area. If it's a network that doesn't have great coverage where you are, service is diminished.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bumpncarstereo:
So I have had my S4 since about a month after launch. Not long afterwards I received the OTA notification. I rejected it and froze the SDM.APK and stopped getting the notification. Fast-forward to recently. I am thinking about getting a stereo for my truck that has Google Auto, but my phone is not compatible. I believe it is because I am running version 4.2.2. Is there a way that I can upgrade to Lollipop, keep root and keep my current apps installed?

Thanks,

Dan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chaotic_jose:
Best thing you can do is install the Custom CyanogenMod 13 ROM for S4 KitKat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
If you're still on MDK bootloader, you can flash TWRP and then install a custom ROM. CM 13 works. I also like OctOS 6.0.

If you're on any other bootloader, however, you're stuck with safestrap and TouchWiz-based ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bumpncarstereo:
How do I find out what bootloader I am on? In the about phone it says "Secure Boot Status Type Samsung" Also my baseband Version is I545VRUAME7

If my research so far is correct, looks like I am stuck with safestrap and touchwiz based roms?

It may matter, I am on Verizon.

Thanks

Dan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
When you go to Settings --> About Phone, the last three letters of your Baseband version are what we're talking about. If it ends with MDK, you can bypass the security checks on the locked bootloader via the Loki patch.

Edit

Just saw your update. Yeah, you have the ME7 bootloader, which means you're out of luck for non-TW ROMs. Sorry. Check the ROM List for Safestrap-compatible ROMs. The Safestrap thread has instructions on how to use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bumpncarstereo:
Thanks for the information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bumpncarstereo:
Famadiddle

I installed safestrap with no problem. I am looking at the list of available roms and there doesn't appear to be many options for me. I am coming from a stock 4.2.2 and it seems that they require you to come from 4.4.x, the one that specifically say ME7, the download link was out of date. Am I misinterpreting the pre-req's? With a custom rom, do you have to stay within your version? IE i have to stay 4.2.2, and I can't go to 4.4?

Thanks again.

Edit,

So I bit the bullet and installed this one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415780

don't really see what all the commotion was about. everything was still the same, seems to have installed over top of my stock rom. It did install something though because the about phone screen has different stuff in it.

Dan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
AFAIK, you can install other versions of (Safestrap-compatible) ROMs. If you only install ME7 ROMs, then you're only getting modified versions of the same stock software you already had. I have not used Safestrap myself, so your questions about it will get better answers on the Safestrap thread.

I can't remember if you need to reboot or not, but might as well, just in case. Afterward, run your task and allow Secure Settings root access.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleman:
I'll share how I fixed this problem, which might be a LOT easier for some people.

Install a file manager that has root access (ie Root Explorer).

Navigate to /system/bin

Click whatever button to mount /system as rw.

Create a directory (or file) and call it su

Reboot phone

Open Secure settings and enable root.

At this point (and with above solutions, Android Pay is broken. If you want it back.

Open file manager again.

navigate to /system/bin

mount rw

delete the su folder (or file) you created earlier.

reboot.

Secure Settings only checks for su file the first time. Once it's been granted access, it no longer looks for su, it just tells the system it needs root access. So it will work the way its supposed to, even though it no longer can find the su file in expected location.

Also, for those that don't know, "touch" creates a file. So if you want to pass SafetyNet still, go back and delete the 3 files created from the touch command. And note that you only need to do 1 of them, not all 3, for Secure Settings to work.

I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong here. It started with me trying to get Emoji Switcher working correctly. Busybox is installed to /system/bin/ and I wanted to try and use a different version. The installer crashes and reboots my phone, same with the flashable zips, TWRP just crashes. I am of course rooted with SuperSU v2.67, on Android 6.0.1, deodexed with xposed v80.

I think I may have included Busybox with Superr's kitchen, so maybe that's the problem.
[HTC One A9] holofractal:
To clarify, writing to the system partition flat out crashes the phone, in the OS and in recovery mode, as well as using adb push commands.

Furthermore, I keep trying to build ROMs in Superr's kitchen and after I install xposed, my phone just boot loops continuously. It keeps trying to optimize 24 or so apps then it seems like it soft reboots and does the same thing.
