[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
Are you sure the test isn't just not properly implemented for the given sensor?

I also get the fails, but it's working without issues at s health and it anyways isn't accessible from third party apps except through s health.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TML1504:
Good question, the fact is that I've seen one device from a friend which was ok, all lines were a "pass"! If the test itself is the problem, then perhaps all devices should fail...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
Not if there are different sensor build in as with the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TML1504:
Good point! This could be the reason!

Also, I wont use this sensor much, it bothers me more on a theoretical level...

If I lay my phone flat on my desk it works. Actually i lay it on a notepad and make sure that the camera and HRM are not touching the desk. It will pass the test this way but fail if I do not sit it on the notepad.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dragosj:
yes, mine fail if put on desk but put on a piece of paper (1-2mm thick) is saying pass. Camera and HRM sensor should not contact anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GuccizBud:
^^ This.

For the sake of completion, the HRM EOL test is supposed to be done with the phone completely still, which is why those that put their devices on a vibration dampening surface got the test to pass.

Just some background info as to why and what i've done previously.

The problem is i can't update the software since it keeps on saying processing failed. After looking into this it may be linked to region of the device since the baseband versionis I9505XXUGNK4 and the CSC part is not a UK code which is why i'm guessing the phone can't be updated also on the phone screen it shows the following error message at the point at which it fails secure check fail sbl1

Also i used kingoroot to root the device and i have a superuser app install as well before using Odin but surely this can't be an issue can it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Kingroot caused various issues before.

The thing is that Odin is very picky.

You should try other USB ports, preferably the ones in the back of the pc.

You should also try different cables, preferably the original one.

Also, different Odin and Windows versions.

Paul O'brien shows how is possible to configure adoptable storage on your S7 / S7 Edge without root.

Here the information:

http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/

The question is... Is it possible to port on our Z5???, maybe some dev colud look this and will try it.

I'm not a dev, only I saw this information and share with us.

Regards!!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
Uhm - I *think* this is working ...

I've followed the instructions, and the first time I ran the sm partition command it would error out with a "failed with 'null'" error message. I did some more sm commands like forcing adoptable to true (and then back to false). At this point my phone rebooted ... when it rebooted I ran the sm partition command again, and it seems to have completed successfully.

Looking at the storage section of the phone's settings, shows that I have:

-70395412480.00 B of device storage used of a total of 32.00GB and both my internal and SD Card are listed as storage. Selecting the SD card for more details and I am able to (re)format as portable, so I *think* this has worked.

Good luck!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
Having played around a bit more, I'm now not so certain. Apps don't see the extra 128GB as internal storage, although they don't see any external storage either :)

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
A further update from yesterday ... I think it's kind of working. I've repartitioned my SD card: 64GB to portable and 64GB to regular SD card storage.

I've selected the portable storage in settings and migrated data to it. Further app installations then seem to use this storage rather than the 32GB of phone storage. So far so good (the displayed value of available internal storage is still a large negative number though).

However, some apps do not see the extra internal storage:

PocketCasts does see it.

Google Music does not.

Plex does not (but doesn't see portable storage on my other Marshmallow device, and this seems to be a Plex problem).
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roland101:
What about your Sony camera app? Mine throws a memory error and won't take photos until I migrate my data back to internal storage (I have formatted the who SD card as private.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
Hmmm... Yeah, because my SD card is formatted 50:50 I'm able to run the camera app. I'm not able to set the storage location as internal though. It has to be on the SD card.

Hey All,

I've upgraded my 925F to Official MM 6.0.1. Rooted it through kernel Xspace and then installed recovery TWRP_3.0_MM_S6_by_ManhIT

My only concern is when I'm in TWRP I can't reboot, it just freezes.

I can nandroid backup no problem just the reboot part freezes TWRP.

Anyone else had this problem? is there another TWRP to be used?

nb : I tried clearing cache + dalvik, freezes still happen before rebooting.

thanks for ur help.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiok81:
Yes i know the iusse is about the recovery but it seems because there is not compatibility between some recovery and some kernel. I tried various recovery 3.0 and i have always a kind of freeze. The TWRP... by Manhit for example gave me freeze with xspace kernel but not with hacker kernel. I don't no the reason....

Inviato dal mio SM-G925F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
same but different

Hi All,

I'm experiencing a freeze in TWRP after about a few seconds, the whole recovery stands still and this happens every time.

I flashed the Xspace kernel which hasn't help.

The TWRP from arter97 works great, except it doesn't allow me to copy files to my PC using MTP, message says unexpected error.

yet, the ManhIT and Original TWRP allow me to copy data but both of them freeze up after a few seconds which causing the copying to fail.

Reasons I'm doing this is because my SM-G925F start looping and I've tried flashing stock so many times to no avail.

I'm sure all i need to do is data/ factory wipe and my phone will boot fine, I just really need some data before I do that.

Is there perhaps a different kernel I can try?

or if anyone has any suggestions that would be very much appreciated.

Regards
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Try with hacker kernel. Wipe cache but not data
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
Thanks for your response callumbr1.

I've attempted two different kernels:

g925-hacker-echoe-kernel-V14.zip

hacker-kernel-S6-Universal-V12.zip

Above mentioned problems persist.

Since arter97 TWRP is not freezing on me, if I run a back up on the Data only. Then perform the wipe, the backup should still be there, correct?

and lets say I flash the stock ROM again if necessary and I'm able to boot the device.

Would it be possible to restore that data back up at all ?

or perhaps copy that back up to my PC and access/extract the files with a separate application?

Many Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I think best thing to do is get an otg storage adapter that plugs direct to phone. They are cheap.

Then run the backup of data and store on otg storage. Then you have it safe and it can be restored at a later time with restore option in twrp.

Or you can always do a full nandroid backup.

Can you get onto the phone now? Does it boot up?

Is there anything specific you need off the phone? To be backed up?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
I plan on getting one of those, they seem extremely useful. A colleague has one which I plan to use tomorrow if they remember to bring it, I will then do as you suggest.

Never done a full nandroid back up before but will do some searching on that.

Phone still hangs at the Samsung splash screen.

And its really only pictures and some videos that I want, contacts would be nice too.

PS, this happened when I plugged my device into the PC to charge it was at about 5%, and I was making use of side sync to control the device when it just shutdown. I thought maybe the battery died so left it to charge a bit, it eventually tried to boot up by itself and its been looping ever since. Was really strange cause it gave me no issues prior to this. When I tried to get to the recovery it would hang at the "installing updates" section once I flashed the stock ROM I was able to get to recovery to wipe the cache but no luck.

Thanks for your suggestions much appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
They are really useful, one of the best things ive ever bought regarding my phone. I use it daily now.

As for nandroid backup, it basically backs up absolutely everything including the firmware and data and all partitions. I always do it before flashing or modifying anything. Then if anything goes wrong, you just flash back your nandroid backup.

Can i ask before this happened did you use google photos? If so and sync was on they will all be saved. If you dont use it i reccomend you to use it from now on incase this ever happens in future.

See how you go making the backup when you can then if you need help regarding flashing the stock and getting the phone working ill help
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
Good day callumbr1

I never made use of google photos, not the biggest fan of cloud storage to be completely honest but I do see its benefits when it comes to times like these. lol

as for the device, last night I flashed a custom recovery (arter97) and made use of the SkipSoft Android ToolKit to pull my photos, videos and documents through the adb protocol. That being said, I have the data I wanted so all is well there.

However, after wiping the cache and doing a data / factory reset. I reflashed the stock ROM, it all goes swell until the android pops up with a message displaying " installing system updates". It gets to 32% changes to erasing then restarts , and this happens constantly no matter how many times I flash it or restart the device.

I read on another forum that my devices is probably dead and it could be the mother board. Any thoughts?

You think maybe a custom ROM would bring it up?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Thats good about your data :good:

As for the little android guy and the installing updates then erasing, this normally happens. It happens every single time i restore and normally boots fine just after its not normally an issue. After yours says erasing does it then just reboot and restart the process of erasing constantly?

What i would suggest first is to flash a different stock ROM, preferably one with newest bootloader.

After flashing, boot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache. If it gets as far as the samsung logo just leave it as the first boot can take a while... like 30 minutes.

If that doesnt work try to flash a custom ROM. I reccomend CarHD ROM. I uave used it for quite some time and no issues.

It deffinately does not sound like motherboard issue. Normally you would have many issues and errors on boot prior to having main board issues.

See how you get on and keep me updated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
It doesn't say erasing after the first time. Right after the flash it will reboot to the blue screen with the android, it displays Installing update with a percentage bar which gets to 32% then that disappears and shows erasing, then again it shows installing update with no percentage bar. The android guy has a two arrows on his chest spinning which eventually stops. The device then reboots. It goes back to the Android guy but this time it shows "installing system update" without the percentage bar, it will then freeze again then reboot. That will continue forever until the battery dies.

After flashing though I can't seem to get to recovery to wipe the cache, I hit the buttons as I always do, but the blue screen and android always appears.

This is the stock ROM I'm currently using:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/105085/G925FXXU4DPJB_G925FXFV4DPJ2_XFV/

Do you perhaps have a link to that custom ROM? would it work fine with the service provider here in SA (Vodacom) ?

And well at least that is some good news, I'm not too keen on having to take this into a shop and pay for parts.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Thats pretty much exactly what happens to mine after restoring or flashing but mine boots up.

Flash the firmware again but in odin options uncheck auto reboot. This time after flashing, the phone should stay off. Then you can boot to recovery.

If that doesnt work, whilst it is on the blue screen with android guy hold only vol down and power, phone will reboot, as soon as the screen goes off switch to recovery combo and this should force it to recovery.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519/page1427

Here is the link to custom ROM, it will work fine on your phone. You need to flash this through TWRP. If you need steps on how to do this please tell me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
Man I think I'm just going to try the custom to see if it works.

Would I need to flash a custom kernel or can it be stock?

After flashing the kernel with twrp I'm going to assume I would follow the same step.

1. flash TWRP custom recovery

2. copy .zip file to sdcard

3. go to recovery, install , select the .zip

Is that it or am I missing anything else when it comes to flashing ROMs through the recovery?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Thats it.

Before installing rom go to wipe in TWRP, wipe data, dalvik, cache and system.

You dont need to flash a kernel though.

However when flashing carhd rom aroma installer will go through some choices, from there you can choose to install arter kernel. I reccomend doing this rather than keeping stock kernel.

Remember once installer complete and rom is installed leave it a while if it hangs on samsung logo screen. It can take a while to boot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahwahward:
Currently waiting on the custom to download, don't have the quickest internet connection.

while I've been waiting, I've tried the stock ROM again.

something I forgot to mention before, which has happened a few times:

During the blue screen with the droid stating installing updates.

it switches to a screen with a big yellow triangle two dots below it and a dead droid.

After this I get to recovery, I wiped the cache and its getting to the samsung logo but freezes and then restarts all over again.

I'm just curious if you know what the yellow triangle thing means?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I think it normally means a failed update. Sometimes there are instructions to use smart switch other times it just means the update failed.

Try with the custom ROM and keep me updated.
