Hey.

Sorry forgot to answer but I have no idea anyways...

Did you already solve your bloomy face selfie problem? Did you try to reset camera defaults?

btw. Screenshots with power up+home doesn't work for me. I'm using nova maybe that's why...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yungskeeme01:
Yes I did reset the camera defaults and factory reset the phone. Since the new update it has gotten better.

I use nova as well. Thanks for trying to help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantum9:
Hi all, i am a noobie trying to get as much out of my r800i as possible so obvious I tried to go the flashing route. I have encountered the follow problems so my play is soft bricked and I can't seem to get out of it. I spent the last 6 hours reading this forum trying to learn as much as I but it's just too vast. Here I go:

windows 10 64bit with driver siginature verification off

using flashtool 0.9.20.0

I tried using flashtool 64bit (flash mode) to flash various ftf to r800i (so far I have tried DoomKernelV14(GB).ftf/ExtremeV03-720p[GB].ftf/egacyXperia-CM7[GB].ftf/LupusV12-720p[GB].ftf, all of them gave me the error message like below:

- ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";\00

I then decided to try the fastboot in the commendline route, the steps are as following:

flashboot flash boot lupus.zeus.gingerbreadv12-full.img was successful

fashboot boot ClockWorkMod5.0.2.8.img (because I read in the forum that r800i doesn't have recovery partition so I can't flash it, which seems to be true; when I tried to flash recovery the CWM img, the error message was that recovery partition can not found)

r800i rebooted and got in the CWM recovery successfully. I then did factory reset/wipe cache then install gin2kitkat3.3.0.zip which was successful as well.

after the previous 3 actions everything was successful (no error messages) so I felt very good about it but unfortunately after rebooting the r800i, all I got was a lupus image then 2 vibrations then screen is off.

I then did the same thing twice again to make sure I didn't miss any error message (which I didn't) but still the phone is as soft-bricked as ever.

I would really appreciate if someone can help me out of the jam because I just bought the r800i to get back to retro-gaming. thank you!

edit:

I should add that when I got the phone it was working perfectly with custom recovery (sorry I don't remember which version but I believe it's CWM) and DooMKerneL but slow (ICS rom which I didn't write down).

I would like to use gin2kitkat3.30 but after installing the gin2kitkat roms (both 3.1.0 and 3.3.0), the wifi doesn't work and I couldn't find way to "flash the wifi module" (I read it in the forum but never got detailed info), so I decided to flash the Lupus kernel, and that's where everything starts.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Try to find older version of flashtool (0.9.16 or older). That should fix your problem with flashtool

You are right, Play don't have recovery partition, only kerrnel (boot), system and data partition. But all custom kernel have integrated recovery, so when you flash kernel, you have recovery.

You are having problems with Lupus kernel because it uses different partition layout of system and data partion and it won't boot if previous kernel had stock partition layout. Doomlord kernel use stock partition so you are able too boot into ROM if you had stock kernel flashed prior Doomlord kernel. FYI, Doomlord and stock kernel have 310MB system partittion and 380 MB data partition, and Lupus kernel have 270MB system and 640MB data partition (or number close to that, i forgot exact numbers)

To be able to boot into ROM with Lupus kernel, you must erase system and data partition AFTER you flashed Lupus kernel and BEFORE you flashed any ROM from recovery.

Two ways to do it:

1. flash kernel (from flashtool or any way you can)

enter fastboot and type:

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system

rebot to recovery and flash ROM

2. Flah kernel (from flashtool or any way you can)

enter recovery and use options in recovery to erase system and data partion

reboot to recovery again and flash your ROM

TL;DR version: erase system and data everytime you change kernel with different partitions , before flashing ROMS

About wifi modules: Lupus kernel have them integrated into kernel, but with doomlord kernel you must flash wifi modules separately as ZIP files, from recovery.

To lazy to search it elsewhere, you can download it at the end of this post

Installed Android Marshmallow last night. All seemed to be working well until tonight. I've plugged my phone in to charge and it's instantly got super slow then turned off. Wouldn't turn back on for love nor glory for a good 10 or so minutes. Then it finally did. However, it turned on, worked slowly for about 15 seconds then either froze in which I'd have to hold the power key and volume down to turn it off or it'd turn off on its own and reset.

It's been about 4 hours now and still doing it.

Any help at all please? Thanks.

Hi! i may have been unclear in last post, Im working on a nexus 6p - stock rom/rooted . the imei is CORRUPTED, happy for me, i have a backup of the cellphone EFS( via TWRP )

But the problem is the folowing, when im trying to restore the /efs, it does not work. the problem seems to be that the corrupted /efs files still siting there.

The solution i figured out was to delete the /efs files so i can restore it without any probleme, but i can't figure out anyway to reach/delete /efs files. Anyone know how to perform this ?

Or maybe someone have another solution! :)

disable diagnostics to samsung, google and t-mobile

using package disabler pro i disabled all the bloatware (over 100 apps)

It will never update Android OS again

First of all, sorry for my bad english!

Well, I started to look for some good custom roms for my galaxy s6. I was using the xtrestolite deodexed 2.4, and then I changed to Arrow Rom. Then, the developers of xtrestolite updated their rom to android 6.0

But now, idk why, when I try to flash any rom with twrp, I get no errors, but the phone doesn't boot up. Only with I install the stock rom with odin. I tried updating the modem to a android 6.0 version (the xtrestolite thread told me to do so), i dont know with this can help, I'm kinda new in this custom rom things. ;)

So, summarizing, I can flash custom roms with twrp without errors, but the system get stuck at the logo, sometimes without the red alert (recovery not SEandroid enforcing). And then, at this point, I can only shut it down and go to twrp or download mode. :eek:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you need to follow the recommend steps exactly. upgrade both bootloader and modem for your device. Then do a date factory reset before flashing the rom.

these steps will install the proper files to avoid boot loops. the reset will make sure there are no strays files left.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustavogok:
The thread says to install the bootloader and modem for android 6.0, then install twrp, and then do a factory reset to flash the rom. But how do I flash the modem and bootloader? I know I have to flash the boot loader under the BL button on odin, and the modem under the CP button. But when I flash them, my phone automatically start to boot loop. And at this point, I can't enter twrp anymore, just download mode. I'm using currently the stock 5.1.1 rom for galaxy s6 (g920i) rooted with a custom kernel (unikernel v2 0008), and with the twrp recovery 3.0.0.1 . What are the steps to flash the custom rom? And why I need to flash boot loader and modem for this rom? I never had to do this to any other custom rom!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
once you have flashed the bootloader and modem, you need to reflash twrp. as new bootloader and modem have broken the connectionfactory reset

After resestablishing twrp, boot into twrp and do a factory reset. Then install the ROM

The reason you need to do all this because 6.0.1 has been given a major redesign including touchwiz. The previous roms you have flashed only has been upgraded from 5.0.2.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustavogok:
Ok, so can I put them all together in odin, (bootloader in

BL, twrp in AP, and modem in CP), and then flash it? Or I have to flash them separately and uncheck the auto restart in odin? Because when I flash just the bootloader, it get boot loop when restarting. :mad:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustavogok:
Ok, once I flash just the boot loader via odin, and my phone restarts, I get stuck at the logo, not even a boot loop. Then, if I shut it down, i can't enter twrp, only download mode. Even if I flash TWRP again, I can't manage to enter it. So, at this point, I always have to flash the stock g920i rom with android 5.1.1, to turn it back on, and then flash TWRP.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustavogok:
Does someone know how to proceed?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you need to flash boot loader and modem together. make sure your phone is fully charged.

then flash twrp, then boot into recovery without starting the phone.

do a factory rest without flashing the rom. flashing bootloader modem and twrp should not be causing a bootloop.

then start the phone let it settle down and see if the 5.1.1. rom works with the upgraded bootloader, modem and twrp.

load the rom onto your hard drive, then reboot into twrp and install the rom.

try this the first time as a dirty install, if that does not work. I suggest you do a full erase and start from the very begining.
