[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try this: flash back to a completely stock MM or LP ROM by manually flashing each partition, inlcuding the userdata.img file. When you have finished flashing all partitions, boot directly to recovery from fastboot mode, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1kesky:
I've tried doing that but it just results in the standing up android icon, with power+up leading to it trying to wipe data again. no option to do a factory wipe.

I put TWRP 3.0.0 on just to test and ended up in a worse bootloop, which failed to load TWRP but occasionally got into it and displayed this:

Sorry as I am a new user it doesn't let me use links
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1kesky:
Thanks, I gave it another try and did the recovery partition last, and made sure I manually put it into recovery mode from bootloader.

The red triangle and recovery menu are back, I can't thank you enough!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Glad you got it to work. I suggest using TWRP 2.8.7.1. For some reason version 3.0 does not work properly with all N5 phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1kesky:
It's still happening.

I've been away for a few days so only had the chance to respond now.

I got into the ususal recovery screen as mentioned previously and tried to do a factory reset, but it had problems with /data again.

I left it the entire night while I slept and it was still saying formatting /data in the morning, nothing had changed.

Anybody got any more suggestions? It's also back to the android with the rotating poly instead of the android with the exclamation mark.

EDIT: when flashing userdata, no matter what version of android I try, it always hangs.

It started on 6.0.1 if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The userdata.img file is included with each stock rom. I advise against mixing userdata.img files from different stock ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1kesky:
Sorry, I mean that I've flashed completely whole different versions of android and the result is the same across all of them, not that I've used different userdata img's on the same version of android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Could be an emmc problem which would require a motherboard swap.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1kesky:
Is that likely to happen when the previous owner said it was fine before they tried to root?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:
Okay so I have a UK unlocked Z5 that was running 5.1.1. I decided I wanted to update to MM so I downloaded the ftf file and started flashing. It got to system.sin and said there was an error, my phone rebooted and gave me an update failed error message. But now I can't get back into flashmode. If I hold the volume down button and plug it in nothing happens, nothing happens if I try to power on with vol down and power, just goes to the update failed message. I've tried everything I can think of. My computer doesn't detect the phone, can't get into flashmode, can't boot the phone.

Any suggestions or do I now own a brick?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Would be helpful if we knew the error. Hold the volume up and power till it vibrates 3 times. Plug into a wall charger for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes try to flash again

The phone won't boot at this time because there is no system

It's only soft brick you won't get hard brick with a bad flash

When i turn it on I get the sony screen that says "the software update failed make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again".

When I plug into a power socket there's no LED to show it's charging, it doesn't turn automatically when i plug it into the computer. Holding vol down and plugging in does nothing.

It was on 80% charge when I started the flash.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Do you have the latest flashtool?

If yes Try to download another firmware maybe the one you have is corrupted.

And here is the original flashtool thread maybe you can search for similar problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Doesn't matter if there is led or not plug it in for 30 minutes in a wall socket and try flashing again ☺️ also like gm007 said if that doesn't work try redownloading the firmware or another.

80% maybe but from experience if there is an error it can quickly go to 0% and it's the process of elimination
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTXz:
Are you using sonys official flash tool, if yes then it will most likely not work. Make sure you're using androxyde's flashtool, if it's stuck during getting device information, plug out your device, select the FTF and when it asks you the connect the device, connect it

My update failed originally. Had that 'update failed' error you seem to be describing... Phone won't boot just shows the failed message etc... Connected it to Xperia companion (not pc comapnion) and did a repair.

Job done.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
I had the exact same problem when i flashed 6.0 on top of 5.1.1. I resolved the issue by flashing 5.1.1 and then 6.0.

I would seriously recommend you try it on a legit windows computer

download and install the latest flashtool with the latest patch

disable windows signature and install flashtool drivers

you would need to find an alternative method to install xperia z5 drivers since PC Companion will not recognize it

Okay so I left the device plugged in to the wall overnight, now instead of coming up with the sony screen and the message about failed update, the LED just flashes red 3 times. Tried in windows with the non-sony flashtool, still not detecting the device. The device won't go into flashmode, there's no response from plugging it into the computer holding vol down, no response when plugging into power. Please any help?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Can you access fastboot mode by pressing vol up and connect the USB to computer? Blue led will appear?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:
Nope. No fastboot mode either.

Edit: I THINK IT'S FIXED. So I did a lot (a lot) of googling and found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 so I thought I would try it. I got to the part about removing the battery and was a bit cautious but then my bootloader is already unlocked so my warranty is already void. I just removed the back panel and disconnected the battery, left it for a few minutes and plugged it back in. All of a sudden the LED turned green and it went into flashmode! I've plugged it into the wall again and the red constant charging led is there but the phone keeps trying to power on so it stops charging, gives me the software update failed screen, turns off again and tries to charge then repeats. How can I get it to not turn on and just charge? Problem not 100% solved but it's a step in the right direction.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
All you have now is to flash ur phone with a working firmware.

I prefer using a pc with windows 7 cause its 100% easier for drivers and connectivity.

Make sure you have the latest flashtool and install the drivers from flashtool folder.

And be sure you are using the firmware meant for ur phone.

Good luck...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:
FIXED!

So the battery trick worked. Use a heatgun (I used a hairdryer cause I don't have a heatgun, worked just as well), suction cup the back glass then slowly pull it off while applying heat. Disconnect the battery. Wait a few mins. Reconnect the battery. Booted straight into flashmode. Download a new FTF, go through and prepare it, then connect phone to computer, flash, done!

I'm so happy, I thought my phone was completely bricked.

I'm noob at tear downs.

What glue do we use to glue it again?

Does it make waterproof again?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrissehB:
Just reheat the glue that's still attached to the back and the device and then push them back together making sure it's stuck down all the way around. I imagine this would lose the waterproof rating now and I wouldn't recommend dunking it in water after doing that. I never have my phone near water anyway so I'm not hugely bothered about losing that feature.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Before going through all that, get a paperclip and push the power off button under the sd card/sim flap. It's the brownish one on top on my phone. It should force the phone off after about 20 seconds of I remember correctly.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazhip:
Replace the glue. You can search eBay for it, z5 adhesive and you will find it. Without replacing the glue, it won't be waterproof. After replacing it, you should be waterproof again. I'd still be wary though.

Hi all, I want to shoot more in RAW, but I'm not able to view/edit the RAW file with the stock gallery app. I tried with Snapseed, VSCOcam and even Adobe Lightroom apps. So far no apps I have tried can view the RAW file. I do know where the RAW dng files are stored, and I can see the file.

Anyone who is using the stock camera app able to view the RAW file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] combatmedic870:
The DNG is the RAW file. DNG means digital negative graphic. Created by Adobe as a raw file format.

Nikons raw files are NEF. Canon uses CR2. Fuji uses RAF.

Leica is one of the only major camera brands that shoots DNG due to it being accepted and editable by all major photo editors.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

In the discussion sections I made a comparison jpeg vs DNG. To me there is a significant difference. Hope that helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Dovigoldberger:
Adobe light room app can open and edit it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KCRic:
SnapSeed and Adobe LR both can open and edit RAW photos. Not sure why you can't get it to work. They're not going to show up as thumbnails, just so you know. I don't know if that helps you at all.

I've tried

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-oneplus-2-home-button-dead-t3324321

none of the solutions worked while I was on Seraphs CM13.

There wasn't any on-screen buttons even in the buttons menu, so then I decided to flash Oxygen back on it because I know there was on screen buttons. After getting Oxygen 2.2.1 back, I tried to call *#808# and it would just lag and nothing would show up. Now the phone keeps restarting on it's own, power button doesn't make the clicky sound anymore however I'm able to feel when it's pressed down and I'm not sure if the power button is the cause of it. Not sure what to do from here, should I just contact OnePlus? It's been several months with my phone.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorx20:
Same here
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
The home button on this phone is a capacitative one, it should not make any clicking sound as it's static.

Probably your home button and/or IC circuit just died for you like many others (me included). I swapped the button myself, as I'm pretty used to repairing phones myself, but that alone didn't fix the home button so it's probably the speaker IC or flex cable going up to the mainboard that's gotten fried by static electricity through the button.

Puzzled: how hard is it to install playstore etc on the 703L & notifications issues?

So I've read about quite a bit of issues concerning notifications on the P8max, the 703L Chinese version that is. Is it really that bad? I need Whatsapp to function perfectly for example. What about installing the gapps, is it also difficult and does the Playstore disappear with the newest firmware?

I haven't bought the Max yet, but these points are worrying to me especially because I'm not very tech savvy.
[Huawei P8max] Bob May:
That's a really good question.

It would be very useful if owners of P8max Chinese version 703L would share the current compatibility situation of the latest firmware 703L running, syncing and notifying with Google applications (Gmail, Calendar) and other popular apps (WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook).

Is it bug free and Google apps and notifications work as expected on 703L?
