There is only one kernel for stock 5.1.1, so therefore it is the best.

Unlocked bootloader is mandatory, so if yours isn't unlocked yet, please backup your DRM keys before unlocking.

downloaded twrp 3, was running 5.1.1 on my phone and rooted it. tried to flash a rom and got stuck in a bootloop, now I cant boot into twrp, or anything for that matter. All i can do is hold volume down and power and home and try to ODIN a new bootloader or such and it just fails. what do i do? but when I try to boot into TWRP it goes into a blueish screen with a White exclamation mark saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I tried to do that but it didnt even recognize the device. At this point i dont care about the data, I just need a working device

Okay guys so now I need a ROM to flash using ODIN. I tried to download from sammobile but the speeds are too damn slow. What I tried to flash was this file " G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_G920TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 " and i got the error 3 to 1.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tagtag123:
Download Samfirm from here, XDA itself.

Run samfirm, enter model as G920F and your region code.

It will download from Samsung servers, so high speed.

Now flash using Odin the downloaded file by putting the phone in download mode, (vol down+home+power on).

How did it happen?

Did you try to flash the VOD 6.0.1 and got stuck towards the end at hidden.IMG failing the process?

If yes, then its a two minute job. Just open the 6.0.1 tar archive and look for hidden.IMG extract it anywhere and rename it from "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar".

Note flash this hidden.img.tar as AP in download mode, your phone should boot.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgysgthath:
First off I'm new to android rooting,but followed a guide and had 4.4.4 and CWM working, and realized there was a much newer group of guides. I found Bliss 6.0 and it's guide said if you come from an older bootloader to click a link and do step 3, which brings me to:

http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541

I followed that and excepting that I didn't use the "experimental" twrp, i went and got the latest one (3.0.1). Android 6.0 boots up. If i go to boot loader and press on Recovery, I see the nvidia logo for a few seconds, then it reboots into Android 6.0 OS. I can not get the recovery to load, at all, no matter what.

Subsequently I've tried flashing 3.0, 2.8.x, and even CWM (that worked before) and the latest version of CWM.. nothing. No matter what, recovery won't start up.

I need help, and would appreciate any advice.

Thank you for your time.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarish:
3.0.0-1 is for A4-A5. For A6 you want romracer's 3.0.0-0 or Steel01's experimental. The same recommendations stand as the TWRP version needs to match the compatible Android version and build on the Shield tablets due to the some of the differences between pre and post Marshmallow.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgysgthath:
Thanks for the reply. That seems to make sense and I'd like to try one of those. But for example romracer's, I don't understand the difference between "Android M" "Android L" "Nvidia version 3.x" "Nvidia version 4.x" ? Not sure how to tell which one to use.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarish:
Short answer, use: TWRP 3.0.0-0 romracer

Android M = Marshmallow = Android 6

Android L = Lollipop = Android 5

Bliss 6.0 is Android 6 (Marshmallow{M}) based.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgysgthath:
Thank you! I owe you one! I beat my head against the desk for two days working on that, now twrp is working. It's a little sluggish between menus, but as long as it backs up I'm happy, and it seems to be.

Question though, about the nvidia versions? What are those pertaining to?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarish:
The NVIDIA versions are the Stock NVIDIA ROM versions and their matched Android version numbers. I deal mostly in stock ROMs for controller, stylus and Grid support. As such I tend to keep those numbers in my typing as well as their Android versions equivalents.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgysgthath:
I may go back to a stock rom, I simply wanted to avoid the killswitch and bliss seemed like it would already have that done. But I'd need to do some reading to see how to block that, if I did. Anyway thank you again, I am up and running now with twrp and bliss. Now just need to replace the battery and I'm all set.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3l4h1r:
So here's the deal, I got myself a gorgeous new 6P 2 weeks ago, I went through the initial set-up and everything worked as intended. I set up my fingerprints (both index finders, 1 each) and finished the set-up.

This is where it all went horribly wrong, showing of my new phone to a friend, the fingerprint unlock didn't work. I removed all prints, and tried to scan my index finger(s) again. For some reason the phone was unable to read my prints. As in, it didn't do anything, I get to the screen where you're told to tap your finger, but no matter what I do, tap, push, slide. It doesn't work, I've literally tried all my fingers and had some friends try it to no avail.

So it's defect, let's send it back you say? So did I, reset the phone, tried one more time to set-up my fingerprints before returning it, but this time it wouldn't work in the initial set-up either.

A few days later the vendor calls me and tells me the phone is working absolutely fine and they're returning it to me. Today I receive the same device, and go through the set-up again. Miraculously, the fingerprint scanner worked, I got through the setup, did the same things I did two weeks earlier and bam, same problem.

After numerous resets, both through android and through recovery, I can not get my fingerprints scanned anymore.

My question then is twofold, one: how did the vendor reset my phone which caused it to scan my prints during set-up (is there another way to reset your droid?) and two: Seeing as my phone and the scanner seemingly work, but randomly stop working, am I doing something wrong or is it the device?

Thanks an awful lot in advance, I'm really happy with the phone, but it's such a let down that the fingerprint scanner isn't functioning as it should.

Notification: I have been asked by Droidriven to move my question from XDA Assist Forum to this Forum !!!

================================================================

I cannot install anymore applications. I got an error "Can't install app - insufficient storage available".

I lack place on my device, so I move app as much as I can to the External card using AParted and Link2SD.

I found out that every time I want to link to SD card with Link2SD I got a warning: "NOT MOUNTED - /data/sdext2 mount not found"

When Link2SD starts, it opens a window asking to select my SD card's second partition from the following list: ext2, ext3, ext4 (the others are irrelevant). Whatever I choose I get an Mount script error "Mount script cannot be created. Mount invalid argument".

I checked the Storage Info (using the Link2SD app), and found that all the "partitions" - like Internal, SDcard, External SD, System and Cache - have some data and the percentage of free place - except "SD Card 2nd Partition" that remains empty. There is even a label that says "NOT MOUNTED".

I searched my phone trying to find the "sdext2" to mount it (how do I do it?) - but I couldn't find it. This is an CATCH 22 situation :laugh: I cannot download and install app but I can continue to use my phone with a lot of app removed!

Is there a way to delete the /data/sdext2?

is there a way to mount the ext2?

How can I repair it?

Somebody with some help?! Please, don't recommend me to use the frightened FACTORY RESET - I had enough of this solution!:mad:

thanks, Roby

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer to Droidriven:

I use Root Explorer. I found "sdext2" ! It is under "root" as follows: "/data/sdext2". Its permissions are "rwxrwx--x". I unchecked the last "x" (it shows on the column of Other Execute) but it didn't saved! Why?

I don't remember I believe so. I bought the Link2SD Plus more than one year ago.

I cannot install anymore applications in my GT-i9505

My GT-i9505 fell down and seems something went wrong! I cannot install anymore applications. I got an error "Can't install app - insufficient storage available".

When Link2SD starts, it opens a window asking to select my SD card's second partition from the following list: ext2, ext3, ext4 (the others are irrelevant). Whatever I choose I get an Mount script error "Mount script cannot be created. Mount invalid argument".

I cannot link or remove system app. System app that have the option to "Link to SD Card" or to "Remove Link", they encountered with a warning: "NOT MOUNTED - /data/sdext2 mount not found" Moving user applications from SD Card to Phone is no problem at all.

I checked the Storage Info (using the Link2SD app), and found that all the "partitions" - like Internal, SDcard, External SD, System and Cache - have some data - except "SD Card 2nd Partition" that remains empty. There is even a label that says "NOT MOUNTED".

I cannot download and install app but I can continue to use my phone with a lot of app removed!

Is there a way to delete the /data/sdext2?

is there a way to mount the ext2?

What could happen if I delete Link2SD and Link2SD Plus, I restart the phone and install Link2SD again?

Is there a way to repair it? XDA Senior members, you are the geeks here, aren't you? Please, I ran out of ideas!

[Verizon LG G2] AndyGumpp:
I had my LG G2 VS980 (Verizon) on stock 26a KitKat with root and TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery and I flashed CWM 12.1 using TWRP which worked great. I still had the TWRP recovery, which I believe uses an exploit on a 24a KitKat. Then, I decided to try CWM Touch recovery and used Flashify to download and flash, which, by all outward appearances seemed to work. (It gave success notification.) Then, after rebooting into recovery, it showed the LG boot logo, then black screen with tiny white writing that scrolled down about 4-6 lines, and then disappeared into a black screen that can only be escaped by holding the power down for about 10 secs. It boots into phone just fine (thank God), and if I hold the up + power at boot, it still shows download firmware mode, and if I hold the down + power and release and repress again at LG logo, I still get the Restore Factory screen, which is promising, but I am extremely reluctant to try that since I have no idea what would happen after upgrading to CWM 12.1 and my recovery is in the shape that its in. One thing that's interesting that no matter which app I use to try to flash a TWRP or CWM recovery, it always seems to flash too fast to be really doing anything at all, and it always goes back to that same tiny white writing then black screen. Also, another weird thing is that if I try to use Autorec which I downloaded to try to flash TWRP that way, it says Invalid Model, VS980 4G required, but that is what I have. Anyone who can figure this out and I will rename my firstborn after them! Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] theobserver76:
what happened is that you flashed a non bumped-loki'd recovery that by itself doesn't work. The screen you saw was probably LG secure boot error. The exploit bypasses this very screen that appears because our bootloader is locked.

To fix this, get this recovery here, extract the recovery.img from the dowloaded zip and use the flash tool to flash it. Your device should boot into twrp normally.
[Verizon LG G2] AndyGumpp:
OK, I'm going to try that right now. Thank you for your time and help.
[Verizon LG G2] AndyGumpp:
It worked! Thank you so much! And I really like the recovery I now have as an added bonus. What a relief.

When I Do the Vibration test, I am also Not able to hear that Sound. It only comes up when the Phone vibrates only shortly, for example when you touch the home Button or when you write a text with Vibration Feedback.

Recently I recognized that I can reproduce that rattling Sound by tapping on the backside next to the camera. So I assume the Sound is produced by the camera lense because I read somewhere that the lense somehow "floats" freely on the Sensor.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kykint:
I've been looking for a guide to make multiwindow support all apps, but I couldn't find any simple guides with the way I wanted. So, just decided to write my own one.

This guide should be compatible with samsung lollipop (5.0+) only, though I've tested it only on my G906K (5.0.1).

What you need :

Deodexed framework.jar

Apktool or baksmali.jar to decompile framework.jar

Minimum knowledge for de/recompiling framework.jar

At least two hands to grab your mouse and keyboard

Now let's get started.

STEP 1)

Decompile your framework.jar and open smali/android/content/Intent.smali

Look for the following line :

.field public static final CATEGORY_MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER:Ljava/lang/String; = "android.intent.category.MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER"

and replace it with

.field public static final CATEGORY_MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER:Ljava/lang/String; = "android.intent.category.[B]LAUNCHER[/B]"

STEP 2)

I'm not sure if this modification is necessary, but it won't do any harm to us anyways.

Open smali/com/samsung/android/multiwindow/MultiWindowApplicationInfos.smali

(If you can't find it, look into smali_classes2 folder. It might vary depending on operator even on the same model.)

Look for the following method :

.method public isSupportApp(Ljava/lang/String;)Z

and replace the whole method with this :

.method public isSupportApp(Ljava/lang/String;)Z
.locals 1
.prologue

const/4 v0, 0x1
return v0
.end method

Now recompile your framework.jar, and voila! It's all done!

Please note that I'm a super noob and not familiar with those smali stuffs, so there could be errors. In fact, I'm quite sure, but it works well as of know ;)

Please let me know if there's something I missed, or any simpler ways to do this. Thanks.
