[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Flashing roms does not require root. Root is just for apps that require root. To flash roms you require a custom recovery.

Flashing a stock rom can only be done in Odin. If you flash a stock rom, you lose root and custom recovery.

What you want is a custom stock rom. Custom stock roms are based on the original Samsung touchwhiz, but they are rooted and have custom options, and they can be flashed with the custom recovery.

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on this thing.

I've gone in to Settings > Developer Options and checked 'OEM unlocking'.

I've enabled USB debugging.

I plugged the phone in and issued 'adb reboot-bootloader'.

...Then the phone powers off, comes on and just gives me the Huawei logo as if it is stuck. It does not respond to 'fastboot devices' or 'adb devices', only solution is battery out/battery in.

I then tried powering on using power+volume up to get to recovery (which works) and choosing the option for 'reboot to bootloader'. I get the same Huawei logo screen as above.

I then tried powering on using power+volume down, this takes me to what appears to be a hardware test page which is all in chinese. Looks the same as this: http://imgur.com/a/eE3hb

I have now rooted with Kingroot and tried again, although I know that it shouldn't make any difference at the bootloader stage whether I am rooted or not. But worth a try.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

[LG G2 Mini] DradviL:
Hello, I want to unroot and upgrade my LG G2 mini (LG-D620r) from Android 4.4.2 to Lollipop but I have some doubts, that is why I have decided to ask You Guys some questions. First of all I read somewhere that unroot can be done using LG suit. Is that true? If yes, would it be possible to upgrade my Android to Lollipop? If not, is the Return Stock the only way to upgrade to Lollipop?

Ok i am using an Intex Aqua i5 android phone that was working fine until some virus shut it completely down.....

i then had to flash a stock rom which i found easily on the net........ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2645447

after flashing it i had the phone in proper condition for a month before apps started 'unfortunately closing'

i figured i had to flash it again but the problem never seems to go away even after flashing different versions of the stock rom....

i know it a very old phone but badly need it to work for atleast a few months........

what am i doing wrong? why is flashing a stock rom not solving my problem?

also i am not able to get into bootloader or any other menu including the recovery

is my phone as good as useless?

Since HTC revealed the list of devices which will get the android 6.0 Marshmallow including the HTC Desire 816 and a lot of users (including me) are waiting for this update.

Well i'm glad to inform you guys that my Device received the update just now. The update is arriving in two parts, with the first being a smaller 66.44MB update to prepare your phone for Android 6.0, then a second 1.05GB update that’ll finish the upgrade process ( as you can see in the attached images).

Update is in progress...

Update is finished and my HTC Desire 816 is now running on 6.0 marshmallow with Sense 7.

As i was reading before the update for the HTC Desire 816 should be in the second quarter of 2016, it's starting to roll for EU version i think it won't take long for other models and versions.

well my device is unrooted and i had nothing to loose but i think it's worth it yes if you check the Marshmallow features you'll think the same, i haven't used it much yet but i can see an improvement in battery consumption , i like the System UI Tuner, google settings app , RAM manager and microSD support wich is to use your MicroSD as an internal storage for the devices with low internal storage.

Ethan clean FFT you can get it for free in playstore ( Fonts Clean for Flipfont )

I also had an issue with the SD Card as Internal Storage, it will be formatted and you'll loose your apps that were on your SD Card i just had my apps reinstalled and didn't loose appdata.

I have also just gotten the update and I'm on the fence on whether to update or not. Did anyone jump the ship? Are there performance improvements in the UI? Battery life? Xposed support? Hell, root? Since I modified the /system partition, updating is going to be a bit of a lenghty process so I'm not keen on wasting time on it if it's not going to be worth it. I'd love to hear some experiences with the update.

You'll port GPE over to the 816? Mind if I ask did something prevent you until the 6.0 update or did you just came up with the idea now?

After fresh install without updating the apps I had more than 3gb left. Remember that in Marshmallow you can use sd card as internal storage so in my opinion it is definitely worth upgrading.
[Desire 816 General] MaE_sTrO:
In Marshmallow you can use your SD Card as internal storage, i'm using an 8gb SD Card as internal storage, now my total internal storage is 16gb, i have all my downloaded apps on SD, The phone storage is 5.23gb used.
[Desire 816 General] CrashBX:
Upgraded to MM myself, noticable but not huge performance increase, bigger standby time but not longer battery life when in use, sense 7 is nice although sense camera is still slow as balls to open on a cold start, app permission manager works beautifully but notifications are broken. I don't know if I have caused this (deleting a lot of HTC's stuff in /system) but notifications don't come unless the device is on, sometimes I even have to manually open the application for it to grab the messages and push them to me. Be vary that this could either be MM's mistake or mine but both are certanly possible to have caused it.

Also, what's this talk about GPE and a flashable zip? Are we going to have Google Play Edition ROM on our devices? That would be fantastic since I'm constantly battling with Sense over customization and HTC's proprietary services.

No problems with formated internal SD, everything runs great and fast, no errors, no slow downs, no lags. Now i can use all of those apps which i need and wanted with no worries about low storage again.

Only app which have problem is Gravity Screen, i got broken power button who got stuck sometimes and i started using Gravity Screen, on Lollipop i got no problems, on marshmallow its seems not working right, maybe i need to wait for some updates

I am new to XDA-forums and I have read the rules. But since I am new here, please let me know if I miss any rule/guideline.

I noticed some speakers review post, so I am also sharing my review of Mpow AquaPro Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. I did receive it from the company directly as a review unit but I will give my honest opinion without being bias.

I received my Mpow AquaPro Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and am satisfied with it. I was looking for a bluetooth speaker to use in the shower since my old one died and this one works even better! I love listening to music all the time including in the shower. This small speaker is pretty powerful for its size. It was very easy to charge and pair with my laptop where I store all my music. You get approximately 6 hours of playtime on one charge. A nice feature is if you don't like a song you can just skip to the next one by pressing the forward button. You get decent sound quality from this speaker and it doesn't cut off and on like my old one did. It can be used at the pool, boat, car, beach, outdoors etc. Included in the box along with the speaker is the easy instructions, charging cord and a speaker cord in case you want to plug it into your device to listen and save your charge. It is waterproof, shockproof and dust proof. It also has a SOS Emergency Alert which I've never seen before on a bluetooth speaker. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but it is nice to know that it is there just in case. The speaker has a woven loop on it for hanging wherever you want or it can be set on a flat surface. Overall it is a nice speaker for the home or on the go and I would recommend it to others. Would make a nice gift for the music lover in your life.

After having issues with the low 4GB memory of the myphone uno, i decided to try rooting the phone using some online instructions using Android One Toolkit. I ended up bricking it. Now when i turn on the phone, its stuck with the 4 animated circles.

I am a noob when it comes to android phones, but i do know how to install windows xp, vista, 7. I have used online instructions to clone my pc HD using clonezilla. I believe that if someone were kind enough to give step by step instructions on what files to download(like the original "OS" / "image") and where to get them. And how to use the software, i can get my myphone uno back to working order. So please anyone out there, can you help?
