[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmkeller:
PS,

after checking the internet, found no similar question or answer, then lost patience and wanted let TWRP restore my last backup (from where the problem did not occur).

But now I get an error while Rebooting "wrong footer" when I click either "boot.emmc.win" or "recovery.emmc.win" - then the system reboots unchanged.

Looking to all decriptions of how to recover a system with TWRP, there is no hint about the special filename. If I try to start the full directory - nothing happens... But some other statements like "wipe cache" etc. confuse me, because the basic desctiption of a TWRP restore did not metion such tasks.

OK, I'm a newbe with android, and my IBM - OS2 - Windows Background does not help much. I'm quite shure, that somewhere in your forum the TWRP Processes are explained, but I did not find them. Please give me the correct forum's name for TWRK - thank you in advance...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Spyro1997:
Hi, i want to know if there are news about root for the Sm-g900a 5.0 OC4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
If there was then it wouldn't be announced in a random q&a thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmatthews702:
I installed Kingroot and used SuperSu-Me to replace Kingroot with the regular SuperSu. I take it that it did not work.

I rebooted and the phone stays at "Starting Apps".

There was nothing I could do about that so I Wiped Cache and Factory Reset from the built in recovery.

Reboot and it is stuck at "Starting Apps"

Reboot again and it get's stuck at "Upgrading Contacts"

Reboot again it is stuck at "Starting Apps"

After that it will not start again until I Wipe Data and Factory Reset again. The whole process starts again.

I am used to the Motorola phone where you can install an aftermarket recovery but I can't find anything on this phone.

I use Linux all of the time but I have a hard drive with Windows on it if I need with the Phone drivers.

Any help will really be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s20dan:
I'm in the same situation with a Vodafone Speed tab 6.

Used Kingroot and tried to replace it with SuperSU using Super Sume, now stuck on boot loop, can't even turn the tablet off.

Can't access recovery to do factory reset either.

:confused:

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

[Samsung Gear S2] BarryH_GEG:
Size comparisons...

Wi-Fi Classic = 43.6 x 39.9 x 11.4 mm (42g)

3G Classic = 44.0 x 46.9 x 13.4 (54g)

Wi-Fi Sport = 49.8 x 42.3 x 11.4 mm (47g)

3G Sport = 51.8 x 44 x 13.4 mm (51g)
[Samsung Gear S2] Oobly:
Hmmm.... not sure how I feel about this. I wish they'd rather make it a little larger diameter with larger display, but the same thickness instead. There is no technical reason they cannot do this (except perhaps for larger display availability and to keep the costs down). The 3G models are simply too thick.

They all have the same small 1.2" display and I like the proportions of the Classic most. IMO, the Sport should have a larger display and the 3G models even larger.
[Samsung Gear S2] derrickmd18:
Can I get a tmobile or Verizon one. Activate on tmobile or Verizon and use with my sprint phone? Will it still forward calls?
[Samsung Gear S2] chipis:
damn and i did not add jump service on my Gear S2 Sport, that on Tmobile service
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
Service "mismatch" should work fine for call forwarding and remote connection between the phone and the watch (that uses the data channel).

The only thing that wouldn't work would be T-mobile's numbersync.
[Samsung Gear S2] jaime4272:
The only reason why they made it the same and not larger is because they just added the sport radio to the classic chassis
[Samsung Gear S2] Oobly:
Actually it is a little larger in all dimensions, so it can't be using the same shell. Adding the GPS, speaker, larger battery, E-SIM and 3G antenna is not trivial, so I suspect they're actually using a different board design , not just slapping them on the back (this would interfere with the hear rate sensor). My point is simply that if they're going this far, why not take the "redesign" just a little further and add a larger screen and reposition the components to give a better layout and overall ratio of dimensions. That would make it much, much more appealing, IMHO.

If is doesn't fit under the cuff of a dress shirt, that's a hint that it's too thick...
[Samsung Gear S2] jaime4272:
I see and understand your point but to make it cost effective for samy they might just add all the components of the 3/4g gear s2 to the classic with a few minor adjustments . that's my point of view that's all
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
So the 3G Classic went from 40mm (wifi classic) to 47mm width? That's a huge jump! Also it's 2mm thicker which would likely be more of a problem with dress shirts. Way too large for me...Guess I'll stick with the wifi classic.
[Samsung Gear S2] redifrogger:
yep

That is exactly what I did since Sprint doesn't offer the 3G model. As long as your phone is connected to your S2 via bluetooth, you'll get the call forwarded to your watch. I have found this very handy!
[Samsung Gear S2] coolguytoo:
Confirmed with a AT&T Rep that the S2 Classic will be available for pre-order online tomorrow through AT&T website and available in store on March 11th.
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
It's better than that! Remote connection doesn't require carrier awareness at all -- it's handled by Samsung's servers with your Samsung account.

So... you can have a Sprint phone and a T-mobile Gear S2 3G, leave your phone at home, and your notifications will be forwarded to your Gear automatically. Also, if you turn on call forwarding from the watch (either locally when connected via bluetooth, or remotely on the other side of the world from your phone), calls will be forwarded to the S2 from your Sprint phone.
[Samsung Gear S2] redifrogger:
What are you talking about? If you don't activate the 3G with a carrier, how do you expect to get calls/texts/notifications from your phone when you're out of bluetooth range? Samsung servers? Has nothing to do with it, especially when you no way to connect to them.

My point is was, save your money, don't activate the phone with a carrier and still reap most of the benefits of GPS, speaker, and microphone.
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
Hmmm... I'm a native english speaker, and have been complimented regularly through my 54 years on my exceptional written and verbal skills.

Reviewing what I posted, it seems very clear. Judging by your demonstrated command of the English Language, I can't fathom what was ambiguous, unclear, challenging, or poorly expressed by my prose. I suspect other readers were easily able to discern "what was talking about" without breaking a sweat.

I have no better words to offer than the ones I wrote. If you can't figure out what I was talking about, well, there will just have to be one more befuddled user out there.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikeman513:
I started flashing when I was 21, my first Android phone (and first phone I rooted), was an Optimist V. That phone was just okay, until I read about rooting and over clocking. I studied for hours of the proper ways to root and what were the best ROMs, and instantly fell in love. It was like a brand new next gen phone! That phone ran so smooth, and had some of the best developers I had ever seen to this date.

Fast forward 5 years, and I have had all the Nexuses (not 5x or 6p) since the V. I used to be a flashaholic; loved over clocking, and debloated ROMs. Since the 6, I've flashed a couple ROMs, but I've gone from 2-3 a month to 2-3 the past year. One thing I've noticed is, they aren't that different. I'm not a features guy, I like simple, and that's what 6.0 brought to the table. I don't really see any huge benefits anymore. Flashing new and updated ROMs has started to become a chore. The phone runs great no matter what I'm using, and the truth, stock runs better than most custom ROMs now.

So to conclude, is flashing even worth it anymore? Sure I can run a ROM and have a huge benchmark score, but that ROM will crash on certain apps more often, and doesn't actually run the basic apps I use any smoother. Stock is so fast now, that it is basically why I won't upgrade to 6p, since I don't use the camera at all.

What do you think? Am I alone on this thought process, or am I just getting old and boring?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
I'm 44 as of last month, have been with android since day one in 2008, and have owned all the nexus devices up to the n6, yet I still flash. how else am I going to get a kernel to load? custom ROMs I don't flash much, I find what I like then stay with it. but that's all your choice, you don't ever have to flash anything, again its YOUR choice.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Depends on what your intended outcome is. If you want stable stock, Samsung runs android which you can still customize without the need to root, etc.....Android is still much more customization than Apple without having to do the jailbreak etc. I prefer the ability to theme, customize, and have a kernel I choose.

For me personally, there are "never" too many features in a ROM. I like ROMs that have so many features they are coming out of your ears, but I'm very particular about how I have things set up.....for someone else who may just need the basics then I can certainly see that being the case.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
you are old and boring..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Well, as a senior developer (and I'm about one year senior to simms22 ;)), I can tell you that I'm not interested in flashing again. I've switched from TW to cm, Temasek and some variants on my Note 3, and finally bought a N6 instead of the Note 4, just because of the possibility of development.

So now I have a hobby, I've got my own Android (yay me!), and after merging in the latest security patch I flash the system.img once a month.

If I find something to modify or develop, well then I flash it a lot, but I haven't done anything big since the beginning of January when I've restored the good old CRT effect on shutting off the screen. And about three weeks ago I adapted CMFileManager to work with AOSP based roms, as a root explorer. But that's that so far.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
I used to flash a lot when i had the LG G2 but since owning the N6 i tried a few roms but now on the same rom since a few months. Only do a clean flash once a month to install the latest version of it. btw, 44 years old was some time ago for me
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
as old and aged as im been feeling the past few years, ive found that on xda there are a hell of a lot of children. BUT, on xda, i am also considered not very old. as there are even more adults that are much older than i am :o
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
I think i belong to the older generation here on xda, but not sure about that. But 54 is still young, just need to convince my body of that....lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
I gave up on convincing my body that its still young. I found out I'm diabetic just a few years ago, and now my body feels as though I'm in my 60s! but, most importantly, my mind believes that I'm 25. so, I keep on living my "25" year old life, regardless of what my body is telling me :angel:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
Even though my body thinks its about 125 I try to be as active as i can. My mind is still in its early twenties. And as far as flashing roms goes, well i find that a lot of them are very similar, so not much sense in changing a lot.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Honestly... Roms have never been THAT different. On my last few phones (thunderbolt, S4, moto x, Nexus 6), I have just found a rom that had the features I wanted, was stable and offered updates and stuck with it.

The whole flashing multiple different roms a month doesn't have much point other then people looking to do something with their phone... and it never really has.

You don't want any extra features, so if you had an early nexus you probably wouldn't need to flash either.

But still, if you want to choose what quick tiles you have, if you want to customize what you have in your status bar, if you want additional lock screen options, if....

The easiest way is to flash a rom.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
1. You are all spring chickens. I was born before WWII.

2. Flashing roms has gone downhill for me since the ultimate excitement of JellyBean and JBSourcery! But still worth it.

I am finding that with AOSP roms many of my apps FC while they work perfectly with stock based ROMs. That's what I liked about Cataclysm. Now it looks like that is dwindling away. Future is looking bleak if I want to use Android Pay so I pass on that. Looks like stock, rooted with maybe Gravity Box is at the end of the tunnel.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, gravity box is a no go for me. but, android pay means nothing to me as well. for me its aosp all the way, with root. everything else i need i can do myself with root access and access to the filesystem. anyways, i was going to thank you because of your age, but im outta thanks :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
I always used the stock based roms and for me they work. I dont use android pay..it isnt even available in The Netherlands, i dont use gravity box. I am now on stock lite rom from Danvdh and it works great for me, no bugs, good battery life and no things in it that i dont use.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaze one:
Not unless you want to get arrested! Nyuk nyuk nyuk....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
Yes! use a custom rom...

But as you see here ppl are different...here is my view and person I am.

You buy a Mustang GT, BMW M3, Dodge Charger SRT, etc... you can leave it as is which is fine. Then there are those guys who will take the best of the best and push a bit more...when the N6 was released this flagship phone was the best of its time.

Again....a WHOLE lot of people will be fine as is but a custom rom (the RIGHT rom) is going to give you that edge the stock N6 is not going to give you...those abilities to do more for the enthusiast! I run Pure Nexus by Beans and the tweaks in the rom are clean and give the N6 added power and edge over the standard N6. If you don't care about the power just to move titles, clock, change button actions, on and on it's all there in the RIGHT rom.

So you have to pick type person you are...as for me my Dodge Charger SRT has the power modifications, the system\cpu flashed, under carriage mods, suspension and engine modifications to give we way more that normal SRT...so the same with the N6 if you are that person.

But again it's a choice and my N6 benchmarks proves the difference since I am a power user...no games, etc just a high-end busy, traveling 43 old corp engineer that ask a lot out of my phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Most "custom roms" are either CM or some-fork-of-CM. That means, generally, adding more problems than you solve.

I agree that AOSP and factory are pretty solid. My use of custom builds was mainly related to the screwball trash factory images and lack of updates that you get with the various non-Nexus phones. With a Nexus, you get a solid experience and frequent updates to the newest Android, which means less need for complete system replacements.

Yet there are a few, relatively small, changes that are useful. Root, and a couple of home-brew adjustments, that really put a power user polish on it.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Benchmarks prove nothing, except that it can get a higher score in benchmarks. This does not translate to real-world benefits. On top of that, just because you can hit a bigger number on benchmarks does not mean that it does so safely, for instance, I've heard of a lot of people disabling thermal throttling in order to get higher benchmarks. That will, in the least, reduce the life of the device and cause stability problems. Worst case, it could fry your SoC.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
I disable thermal throttle every single boot up, every single time. I've had my n6 since Nov 2014 BTW. with thermal throttle off, and pushing it extremely hard, my n6 never ever goes over 75C. and I've tried to hit 100C(thermal shutdown), but just can't. my n5 would hit it in seconds my n6 will not ever hit it. so I see any effect of keeping thermal throttle disabled over the past year and a half? nope. my battery life is still awesome, I lose a percent every hour and a half. my performance is still awesome, as my phone scores highest in benchmarks. and my user experience is still incredible, as I get no lags, nor any other negatives. sure, maybe I'd see something from keeping thermal throttle off, if I used the device for 5+ years or so, but I won't.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
I agree and benchmarks not my key focus I could left out only have done once since 2014. I am a power user and side by side with other N6 users they difference is noticeable based on how we do corp work not games. As stated earlier, depends on person if that's their choice but get choice with this fladship phone and with Pure Nexus gives a new feel to phone. Not all developers are like Beans the tweaks make the difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
On that basis, sounds like it probably wouldn't throttle even if you didn't disable it, so why even bother?

Also, "pushing it" with single-threaded workloads may not get the temperature that far up.

I promise you that a heavy multi-threaded workload WILL make it as hot, fast, regardless of the binning.
