[General Questions and Answers] Fadzz:
So forgive the noobishness here. I own a Samsung SM-A500H. Basically, I rooted it using Kingroot which worked out fine. Then I flashed a TWRP 3.0.0-1 file using flashify (flashed recovery). The phone rebooted, and I got to the TWRP recovery. So naturally I wanted to reboot my device normally, but it wouldn't do it. It kept rebooting into TWRP recovery. After about 30 tries I gave up and decided to flash the original ROM using Odin. Before I did however, I backed up my Data on my external SD card. The backup files are now present in my SD card.

I want to restore that backup. But with no functioning TWRP recovery so far for my device, can I do it through any other method? Thanks.

After get back to stock

Install titanium backup

Titanium backup is able to restore from Cwm and twrp make sure u have rooted

Give a thanks if i helped u
[General Questions and Answers] Sudhir Kota:
If you are able to access the phone , there a about zillion apps to restore files from EXT SD card.

If you are not able to access the phone, try ADB sideload.

help needed !!

I have a KFHD7(tate) and had been running CM12.1 for a while with only an occasional update using the nightly builds, I only updated occasionally as the unit would not always turn on at the first attempt and would stick at the CM boot logo, after switching it off and back on the unit would run quite smoothly, however none of the updates seemed to cure the problem.

I noticed that there was a new release 'cm-13.0-20160218-UNOFFICIAL-tate' which I flashed via TWRP along with 'open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160301', these were flashed at the same time.

after a reboot the KFHD7 worked fine with no apparent problems, I then downloaded one of the dark themes,(not sure exact one) and this seemed ok at first, I entered the settings screen and only a few words and graphics were visible!

I rebooted back into TWRP recovery and performed a factory reset from within TWRP ... big mistake, now the unit only boots to the blue TWRP boot screen and blinks off after a few seconds it is stuck in a loop and I dont know how to recover it, I have tried the usual combinations of holding the power and vol buttons but still comes on the same .. any suggestions would be appreciated (dumbed down solutions please as not that techy, but can muddle through if step by step instructions)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiffy:
I've been on the forum as a 'casual browser' for sometime now but I'm pretty sure this is my first post on here, so 'Hello' everyone out there.

I've just recently upgraded my vario II to WM6. I first tried Black Satin then thought I'd have a dabble at cooking my own ROM image. I've been playing around with the Pandora kitchen over the last week, creating various images with ROM versions 3.61 and 3.62. Last night I flashed what I thought was going to be my final build. However, I've noticed something strange with the audio playback in standby mode.

The image I have flashed at the moment I created using the 3.62 ROM (CE 5.2.1622 | Build 18125.0.4.2). I added the HTC Kaiser 6 button home plugin and HTC Audio Manager from the touch. When I play music through the home plugin if I put the device into standby/sleep mode by pressing the power button the music will continue to play as it should but stops when it gets to the end of the track and won't continue to the next track in my playlist. When I take the phone out of standby/sleep it'll continue to the next track. Only solution at the moment is to just use the 'device lock' shortcut on the home plugin but the this means the screen won't turn off while the device is in my pocket.

The thing thats really bugging me is that, if I remember correctly, this functionality was working correctly on the build I had flashed on my vario II yesterday. that was created with the 3.61 Rom from the pandora thread. the only other differences in the build as far as i can remember is that yesterdays image didn't have GSFinder installed and todays does.

Unfortunately I didn't keep the build i used yesterday but I'll have ago at creating another image tonight and confirm that it was working correctly with the 3.61 Rom. I really don't want to go back to that Rom version though just to get this working. With the 3.61 Rom my vario seemed to be using up alot more memory than it does with the newer one.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour with any of the roms they've tried?

Thanks,

Hif
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
Yes Audio Manger sucks in this respect. I simply use the HTC Home configuration tool to set WMP as player instead. Problem solved. There is also some nice skins that gives WMP big buttons and looking more like Audio Manager. I don't think changing rom will make any difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiffy:
I wasn't able to configure the HTC Home plugin to work with Windows Media Player as i didn't have the HTC Home configuration tool but I got the other Music Plugin to work with both Media player and Audio Manager. Both of there have the same problem when startd from the Music plugin too, i.e. music stops after the track finishes in sleep mode. So it seems its not specific to just the Audio Manager app or the HTC Home plugin.

Any other suggestions anyone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiffy:
File caching causing problem

I had a play around with some ROMs last night I managed to work out what was causing the problem for Windows Media Player but not for Audio Manager. By disabling file caching using the Advanced Configuration tool I managed to get Media Player to play the next track but this doesn't seem to fix Audio Manager. Does audio manager use its own file caching?

Anyone???

Surely there's some techie person out there who knows whats going on under the hood???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Security555:
Overall a really good phone, the best you can buy today.

But there's one thing you have to take into account.

Weak scratch resistance, same as on galaxy S2. Gorilla glas is a pure marketing, I don't see any evolution.

To be fair this issue appearing not on Samsung only, but gorilla glas is a part of Samsung corporation.

I have now a long scratch on the front of my phone for 800€, just from wearing it in the pocket.

Although lack of good glass covering whole front panel sucks :|

Hey guys.

I have an Orange-branded Z5C from Poland.

Is it possible to flash a stock (non-branded) ROM and get normal OTA updates (to Marshmallow) from Sony on such device? Or is it dependant on the device itself? Orange Poland doesn't really seems to care about updating the phone.

Im glad someone created a group for us users in the Philippines. Im using a unit from Globe. I was happy with everything except the battery life. Im only gwtting as much SOT as my 2 year old Note 3.

I'm a new member too, are you talking about the thing like Zagg Screen protector? I'm using that now, i'm trying to see if this sort of protector is better than the tempered glass i use on my note 4.

It's barely been 2 days since i bought the protector for the S7 Edge though.

Hi!

I bought mine last June 12 (It was at Abu Dhabi though), my mom bought there too and her unit is slightly defective too, her camera has focusing issues. Does your phone have focusing issues too, or was also bought abroad?

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I got mine unlocked, it's a 935-FD , which i think is the same local version anyway. I haven't used it for mobile data because i'm on prepaid, i'm using Sun as a carrier but so far this phone outlasts my note 4 by a good margin with an SOT around 6-7 hours (I don't use mobile data ) vs the barely 4 hours SOT i can pull off the Note 4 , and i just replaced the latter's battery a month ago.

I've left Superman ROMs for now since I want to try other ROMs. I'm now on TekHD's ROM and I'm loving it so far. Its feature-packed and has OTA updates meaning you won't redownload such huge files when flashing. You gotta reflash any custom kernel after OTA updating though or else you're gonna experience bootloop (I'm serious with this, I almost got stuck with a bootlooping phone). Being in the Philippines where downloading huge files is such a pain in the ass on our slow and expensive internet.

My S Health was working on Superman roms but didn't work on 1.8.1, I guess because I've dirty flashed it? I got tried of Full wipe->Going through the welcome setup->Titanium back-up->restore synced SMS and setting from Samsung.

Need Help on my S7 Edge DUOS

I got my S7 EDGE Duos from Smart Philippines. It is of course locked only to Smart Network but I can use Globe Network on the other sim slot. Now I had to flash my phone using ODIN because it was boot looping. I couldn't find SM-G935FD Smart firware in Sammobile and I have read here in forums that I can Flash any SM-G935F firmware safely. So I flashed it and it worked. Now my problem is, both simlot is now locked to Smart Network. If I insert the Globe Network simcard, it will ask for a network unlock code.

Kindly help me or enlighten me please..

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Yeah but I think there is a way to change it by editing some files however, you need to have root access as those files are system files..

For the bloatwares, same old samsung stuff (myGalaxy, Galaxy life, Samsumg Gear etc.), there are also microsoft stuff (Word, Powerpoint, etc).These are wjat I see in the app drawer. I am not sure if there are other bloatwares that are not shown in the app drawer though..

Thanks mate. Flashing the original CSC didn't solve my problem in re-unlocking my 2nd sim slot but I observed that signal reception has improved. I'm using the BTU earlier which is UK based and now it's back to SMA(smart) w/o needing to reflash the ROM. Cheers! ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
It happened also to me when I flashed the BTU ROM. It seems that both slots got locked to smart. What I did was removed all sim cards as well as the sdcard. Boot to recovery, factory reset and erase cache. Then on the option I chose power off. I then rebooted to download mode then flashed the latest smart rom. Note that during the entire process there was no sim card and sd card on my phone. When the device booted, I turned it off then insert the smart sim only in sim 1. I let it stay for about 5 to 10 mins then turn it off. Insert the globe sim in sim 2. When it boot up it detected both sims..

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Will that app remove the blaotwares completely off the device? Or just disable them? I would like to remove them completely but I think root is needed since those are system apps.. If this app will remove the bloatwares from the device (not just disabling them) then I think that is a good app?

Update:

I just looked the app at the playstore.. Looks like that it will just disable them. You will not be able to see the apps that you will disabled in the app drawer and they will not be updated but they will still "sit" in the device consuming space.. you can also do the same in application manager. Having the app though is more convinient because you can access it more easily?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] SUNNY-Blue:
[MENTION=3590885]mr_makulit[/MENTION], can't disable some of them that's why I opted to buy it. Yes, full removal requires root access on the phone. Also, can't replace them Samsung apps with the Google versions if they are enabled. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Oh I see.. I might try the app as well to disable those stubborn samsung bloat hehe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
Woah! Thanks for the info mate. Will try to do the same. Hope the process will re-unlock my phone as you did. (crossed fingers)

Btw, did you flashed the HOME CSC and not the CSC alone when you flashed the SMART firmware?

Update:

Bro, when you installed the SMA firmware, is the default language upon boot(upon choosing language) is set to THAI or MALAYSIA? Coz that's what I experienced. Same scenario when installing XTC(openline).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
I flashed CSC. The default for me is SMA. You can change it to smart though. I have an instruction in how to change the csc somewhere in page 18. That might do the trick. Good luck:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
Thanks for the trick bro. But I have already done that before. The secret codes not seem to work in THL csc. If you dial something like *#1234# nothing happens.

So you mean after you flashed the SMA firmware, you've got the SMA csc right away w/o doing any trick?

It's so weird that what gets installed in my phone is the THL csc even though i flash the sma firmware. (Sigh) ???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Yes, SMA CSC right away..
