Thanks but I`m not so skilled with Linux ;)

The strange thing is... in XP ADB works but get Blue screen if flashing something., commands like reboot-bootloader and stuff with no problem... in Windows 7 I`m not able to install these :silly: drivers... I tried everything...

Java SDK package

15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3

Xperia Z2 Device Driver (from Sony homepage)

Flashtool Drivers 1.5-20140318.exe

Google adb usb drivers

CWMUniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi

... don`t know if I´m right... The driver "seems" to be ok, but it shows me the Sony ADB Interface with yellow bang in hardware manager.

During installation windows7 also tells me the driver is allright & up to date, but the device can`t be startet.. Error (code 10)

... I will try a clean XP with ADB next time.... :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
That's the problem with Windows. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

On my pc I had no problem with installing the drivers, but I never succeeded on my laptop. I could try anything I wanted but they still didn't work that's why I was forced to use Linux. You don't have to know much about the os. You just make a Bootable usb stick with Linux, run it in a test version and just follow the guide I've posted previously to get the drivers to work. After that you just use as in Windows.

Btw. adb commands are Linux commands ☺

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conanDO98:
Hi Note 5 XDA Community ,

I'm currently using a Galaxy S3 and is thinking about upgrading my phone in the near future.

Personally I liked the S Pen alot and the reason why I went for S3 instead of Note 2 is because Note 2 is out of stock in my country for ages few years back.

However from the battery life thread I found out that the battery life for Note 5 varies alot.

I can get 3~4 hours SOT on my S3 and on my sister's Samsung J7 she can get 8~9 hours SOT per cycle.

Battery life is really important and I understand the Note 5's specs is way out of the J7's league and also the charging speed for Note 5 is alot faster.

If you were me , which would you go for? The Note 5 is about 2.5x the price of J7 in my country with J7 being around 899MYR and Note 5 being around 2200+MYR.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
hi guys,

so i was trying to clear the phone's cache for some gallery cache problems... anyway long story short from the recovery menu of TWRP (the external one) i chose "wipe" by mistake and that included data+dalvik+cache and the phone reverted back to original settings which sucks.

Now i have a GOOD backup of EVERYTHING (which i did 1 week ago) with the same TWRP and i tried to restore that one right away - but when the phone restarts there's quite a few apps errors, gmail apps, etc etc... and it seems i dont have root anymore.

I previously restored that backup and it was perfect, - although i didnt wipe the data first - it was because installed exposed and the phone went in bootloop, restored backup, put up proper version and all was good.

Anyway what's the best way to have my backup to work properly in this situation? hopefully there's a simple way.

many thanks,

Gabrio
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
Seems i managed to find the "way out" - i restored yet again the same backup but before restarting phone after restoring, i did a "fix permission + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache" - That seems to have worked! phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

that should be it right?????
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dide1996:
Hey guys I have an Xperia Z3+ and recently I faced some problems. :(

I really didn't know that unlocking the bootloader would erase my DRM keys. My camera doesn't even focus now and the image quality went to low. :(

I flashed a new rom (Android 5.0.2 - Vodafone UK) using flashtool hoping that I would get all my camera features back, but nothing happened. :(

There was this one time where I upgraded to android 6.0 from android 5.0.2 but still my camera was laggy and didn't focus. But I relocked my bootloader and unlocked it again.

My camera features were back!!! I could focus again and it worked. :) :D

But, right after two days my camera stopped focussing again...even after I thought I had fixed it.

When I dialled *#*#7378423#*#* to check if my bootloader was unlockable it said rooting status: unknown and thats the reason why I couldnt unlock the bootloader in the command window in fastboot mode (platform tools). Bootloader had automatically got locked...I have no idea how that happened.

Please, is there a way out of this mess? Or should I just throw away my phone? :( :crying: I don't know what to do... :(

Hi, for some reason my Note 5's battery life is only 12hours and 50mins from full charge. I have to charge it twice a day. Before I never had to charge it twice a day - only once a day. My note 5 is the SM-N9208 (Dual Sim 64GB Silver), Android Marshmallow has not been released for it yet. Is there something wrong with my battery? I bought the phone from an eBay UK seller and PayPal's buyer protection period ends for me today midnight so I need some advice quick. In addition, the fast charging seems to have stopped working with my charger - I am using a UK travel adapter because the fast charger is 2 pin. I appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.

[Wing, P4350 General] applecarriage:
don't know if anyone noticed this or if i missed the post or what (i searched!) but heres what i think is a cidunlock from pdaviet.

HERALD-USPL-Beta3by POF

PS i'm still not even sure what a cid unlock is if anyone wants to fill me in.
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
Yes, technically it IS a cid-unlock.

However, it's still in beta and unless you're technoproficient, you probably shouldn't install.

Now to answer your question.

There are two kinds of locks :SIM and CID

Sim locks keep you locked to a certain network

CID locks prevent you from flashing a different rom

Both can be circumvented, but that takes time and hard work.

For heralds and wings, you can always use aserg's method for flashing, which is brilliantly simple, but you have to have an RUU to do it correctly.

The problem with this is that some Herald models *cough*XDA terra*cough* don't have an RUU, Heralds, like ALL ppcs, are CID-locked to that particular redistributor's RUU. This is where CID-unlocking comes in. If you can CID unlock, you can flash any rom you need, including other companies RUU.

Poor XDA terra people.

hi there!

i would like to know if was possible to flash this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366845) in my Herald with CID locked..

or,

if is not possible, i would like to know if there are some free way to make a CID unlock to my herald?

my herald have now the portuguese ROM (4.17.410.2 PTG and RADIO 02.94.90), that i had updated from wm5 Oficcial ROM.

thanks for your atenction, and i'm sorry for my bad english.. :S but it's not my native language and i don't practise a lot.. :S

Thanks,

Eagler
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
does your service provider provide a wm6 upgrade for you phone? If so, it is best to flash it first.

Once you have done so, check to see if your SPL is greater than 4. you can do so by entering bootloader by soft resetting and holding the camera key.

If it is indeed above 4, you have two solutions for a CID unlock.

One choice is USPL, which temporarily CID unlocks your phone.

The other is HardSPL, which permanentl CID unlocks your phone. Relocking it from HardSPL (if you have to send it in for service, for example) can be difficult.

In the future, please search before posting and do not resurrect threads this old. When this thread was first replied to, aserg's way was still the primary technique for flashing (just to give you an idea of how old this is)

Anyone else from NL who didn't get the update?

I want to know if I should just wait a little longer, or if I have to flash it myself (I prefer not to)

:)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andiling:
As far as I know only Vodafone NL has the update yet. You can switch to this or CE1 (Central Europe 1 which is Customized/Generic) with Flashtool. Usually switching back to your Customization once an update is available is no problem though you need to use Flashtool, too, for that. It depends on your preference... differences between Lollipop and Marshmallow are just in detail.

If only Vodafone got the update yet, I guess I'll wait little longer.

Unzip the rom.. Go through system /apps & system/priv-apps you can pretty much tell what is what. Remove the folders you don't want (deodexed roms}

Then re zip the rom and voila!

Place the removed folders in corresponding folders on your pc so you know what you took out.

Of course you can use titanium backup to freeze apps (recommended ) and if all is well uninstall them and in the future you'll know what is safe to remove.

My list is a cocktail of the note 4 lollipop list above and some s7 and s7e , s6 bloatware list , since the core remains the same , figured it should work and it seems like it has .

[Samsung Gear S2] lonelydra:
Or they do it on Tizen SDK
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
What you could do is create new images with different merged backgrounds and indexes. You then add a background that has an index as part of the picture. With that image selected, go over to the right and choose action and create button. Click the action tab and under first drop down select change picture. You can then add up to six other pictures that have an index included. Align all the pictures to fit in the circle. Then once on a watch, you just tap the picture and it will cycle through the backgrounds with their indexes.

[Samsung Gear S2] tsongming:
The program just requires some trial and error. I learned how to use it by modifying preexisting unlocked template faces.

Although it's fun to create something yourself, it's very easy to find practically any design that you want online.

You can leave the designs as they are, drastically change them in some way that suits you or just create something from scratch.

Next just sync the face to your watch via WiFi.

Furthermore, you can create a developer account and upload your own creations to sync with your Samsung account.

It literally took me 10 minutes to submit the developer application and get accepted.

I join the question. How to change the color of the arrows on tap, without prejudice to other functions. For example, I want to change the background color and the color of the hour and minute hands. At the same time, if you add different types of arrows to the "action" section, the background change function is blocked, since the layers are located below the arrows. I saw how the developers made a separate place on the screen for the function of changing the color of the arrows. But I did not understand how to do this.
