[General Questions and Answers] Nitish Raj:
Last night I was installing Cynongenmod 12 lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy s advance Gt I9070 JELLYBEAN Indian version. I used v-root to root my device and took up backup of efs from efs professional, then I was installing Clockwork Recovery from my SD card via recovery mode and something went wrong, it was unsuccessful and from here my problem begins, when I was retrying to install cwm I noticed a error message that "unable to mount efs (Invalid Argument ) " I haven't noticed that and was busy on lollipop instalation but when it fails then I decided to revert back on my sweet jelly bean then I flashed my mobile using Odin to official jelly bean every thing went fine but when I restarted my phone on jelly bean then I saw two errors :-

1 . gapps has been stopped

2. Samsung setup wizard has stopped

After noticing these errors I downgraded to gingerbread and I can connect to WiFi, mobile network and can view my imei no.

Also I have tried to restore my efs using efs professional tool on running gingerbread but it fails.

"CAN ANYONE HELP ME, I WANT TO RUN MY OLD JELLYBEAN"

I have tried almost every thing Like

restoring from adb

Installed cynongenmod kitkat

Installed twrp and cwm so that anything hits up my luck

But didn't get success.

Please help..........
[General Questions and Answers] sohamsen:
You should do a nandroid backup before doing anything

OK flash your stock ROM via Odin but different version!

Try installing a custom kernel!

In most cases its kernel prob!

If these doesn't help you

Uninstall gapps and install gapps manually:good::good:
[General Questions and Answers] Nitish Raj:
Thanks for the reply

But there is only one stock rom available that is jelly bean and I have already tried it and also flashed a custom kernel (TWRP) but nothing helps.....

And it's possible to uninstall gapps manually from stock rom.....
[General Questions and Answers] sohamsen:
Yes just download a system app remover

You must have root permission and becareful you must know what are you removing!

Give a thanks if i helped u
[General Questions and Answers] Nitish Raj:
But, unable to go on the main screen

[General Questions and Answers] sohamsen:
Have you tried with stock rom+stock kernel no custom kernel everything stock
[General Questions and Answers] Nitish Raj:
Yes,

I had downloaded stock rom (jelly bean) from www.Sammobile.com and then flashed it using Odin.

I am only stucking at setup wizard which giving me error "unfortunately Samsung setup wizard has stopped" if I will bypass this wizard then, I think everything will be fine and I had also tried the "4 corners tapping trick" but it also didn't help me.
[General Questions and Answers] sohamsen:
Buddy do u know the build.prop editing

It may help u there are some codes available if u tweak the build.prop you can bypass it
[General Questions and Answers] Nitish Raj:
Know little bit about build.prop editing

But, I don't know how to edit build. Prop on my Galaxy s advance if I can't go to main screen because, I think to edit build. Prop setting I have to install some apps.

Can you please refer me a guide :) :) :)
[General Questions and Answers] sohamsen:
Try other version of your stock rom

Example

Currently im running galaxy ace s5830I

2.3.6 gingerbread stock rom

But there are some different release available

Like 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA1

2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA2

2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA3

Those XXLA 1,2,3 ARE different release of my stock rom

[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Garrett07:
I've had the phone since Friday of last week (04/01/16) And everything works great, except my fingerprint scanner just started having issues reading my fingerprint starting today. I have removed my print that was saved and redone it 3 times but most of the time I get an error that says "Fingerprint scanner dirty, clean it and try again". I've cleaned it and nothing has changed.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] crashercarlton:
Not helpful, but mine has worked pretty flawless. My only other phone I've had with fingerprint was my note 5 and I considered it unacceptable and had to wipe multiple times a day. So far I haven't consciously wiped my g5's.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Garrett07:
You're right, it wasn't helpful :p however I have noticed that after that one day (and driving it to the purchase location to be made a fool of) I have had no issues with it again. Must have been a fluke for almost 8 hours but it has been flawless ever since.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] LG07132015:
Fingerprint scanner issue

//
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Smithfolk4:
No Problems

My scanner works very well and fast. The only time it hasn't is if my finger is dirty or wet. If you have something on your finger that wasn't there when you scanned it will cause a problem.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Garrett07:
Hey Ashley, I got the issue I think all sorted out, I went through and did a variety of scans of my fingerprint and it eventually solved itself I haven't had any other issues since.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Summit1:
No issues at all with mine and I haven't cleaned since I started using it (2 weeks).
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] thunderbls:
Only problem I have with mine is when I use nova launcher... After a few days it just wouldn't work so just loaded lg's 4.0 which I have actually started to like and have zero issue even worked with a little moisture after condensation from a cold beverage.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] DyingSlow:
Hi

so i bought the LG G5 as an anniversary gift for my better half and we ( i also use it from time to time)have an outgoing issues...from time to time the scanner won't work at all... the only way to make it work is to go to setting turn it off and on again... I'm with Bell and I'm still in the DOA period... so i can exchange it. she uses Holo launcher cause let's face it LG not putting apps drawer (except on the simplistic easy mode) is a joke ...so could that be it???
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Garrett07:
I've seen other people say its the launcher, but you can download lg smartworld and install ux 4.0, ever since I did that I have had no issues.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] DyingSlow:
hi

exactly what i did and since then no issues

my wife doesn't like the UX 4.0 though, it will take some getting used to it
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] jhart9285:
I've been using nova launcher since day one and have never had any problems with the scanner. I have had it tell me my finger was too dirty a few times when I was working on my truck though. Perhaps you should try deleting all your fingerprints and then setting up the same finger twice using different parts of your finger for each fingerprint (as suggested in a similar thread). I did this independently when I switched from my otter box to the lifeproof case for fear of having the same issue as you due to the change in angle my finger commonly touches the button at as well as the clear protective sheet over the scanner from the lifeproof case. I scarcely if at all have problems with it.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
I've changed my password on the 6P (running Cyanogenmod), and ever since then, I can't enter my TWRP recovery, because it can't decrypt anymore. I've tried both the old and the new password in TWRP, but it can't decrypt it. Booting normally into the OS with the new password works fine, just not for TWRP.

TL;DR: Changed password in Cyanogenmod on encrypted 6P, now can't enter TWRP recovery anymore, but can still enter the phone OS.

Any ideas? Perhaps I could somehow reflash TWRP without losing data? Or will this mess up the encryption even more, so that I possibly also couldn't enter the OS anymore?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Flashing the recovery even 'n' number of times won't do any bad to the ROM. It seems like an issue with decryption itself. If you don't bother backing up and restoring your data, I would advise you to decrypt the complete partition manually.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
How can I decrypt it? And normally I backup a nandroid, but I can't do that now because I can't enter the recovery, or is there another way?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
The process will not wipe the ROM, but all the apps and data. Since your data is encrypted, I am not sure if Nandroid will work, backing up the /data partition. You can give a try to Flashfire app, to backup your parition data though.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

About decryption, you can reboot into bootloader, and enter the following commands consecutively.

fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrettsessions:
What version of TWRP are you using? There is an issue with decryption on version 3.0.1-0. See here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976/page83

Solution seems to be use the previous version 3.0.0-1.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
Holy ****, I actually did update to the latest TWRP the other day. If this will be this simple to fix, that would be really great. I'm not sure how to flash the older TWRP now though. I used to always just download the TWRP img file on my phone directly, then install it directly within TWRP itself, to update TWRP. Now that I can't enter TWRP because it's unable to decrypt, I have no idea how to flash the old TWRP version. Is there an adb command so I can flash this from my PC?

EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! I downgraded to the TWRP 3.0.0.1 with ADB and it decrypted again without any problems. You possibly spared me hours of setting up everything from scratch again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Fastboot is used to flash/modify partitions on Android devices.

Have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrettsessions:
If you are rooted, download the 3.0.0-1 version and flash with Flashfire or Flashify. I'm sure there's an adb command, but I always install through fastboot.

Hi,

I'm from Slovakia, I have S5 mini model SM-G800F, G800FXXU1AOG2.

Is there any way to uprage my phone officialy without breaking KNOX, warranty void, or anything else?

There are no new updates when I try to update throught OTA or KIES.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfom:
What's your phone's CSC code? Get it and look on this page for a 5.1.1 ROM that matches it:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G800F/

It would be good if someone else could confirm it, but from what I've read if you flash a stock ROM it won't trip Knox warranty code.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
AP: G800FXXU1AOG2

CP: G800FXXU1AOG2

CSC: G800FOXX1AOG1

There is not any 5.1.1 ROM for my CSC :/

Any other way?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfom:
Are you sure your CSC is OXX? I didn't find any ROM with that code, either lollipop or KitKat. Try using Phone Info from Play Store. It will show correct CSC and if there is a new ROM.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
Yes, my CSC is: G800FOXX1AOG1

Here are some photos from Phone Info:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4LdWx07QQ0xbl92bVFuZlJva3c&usp=sharing

On sammobile there are only 4.4.2 ROMs.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfom:
Actually your phone's CSC code is ORX (see second image you've uploaded), and there is no Lollipop for any of the available codes either. I don't recommend flashing any other ROM besides the one for your model, the safest way would be CM13, but it will trip Knox warranty, but then probably it would if you flashed other stock ROMs as well. Maybe someone else with a G800F can help you better, mine is G800H.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
And if I flash CM and trip Knox, will I be able to complain the hardware part (for example problems with camera, charging port...)?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
Backup your data because all internal data will be lost after flashing.

You flash this image at your own responsibility. I am not responsible for any damage that might be caused by flashing this image

1. Download and extract firmware:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/64779/G800FXXU1BOK7_G800FDBT1BOK7_DBT/

2. Download PIT file:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960685133

3. Download Odin (I used version 3.10.7):

http://odindownload.com/

4. Start Odin

5. Connect your phone in Download Mode (Power off then Volume Down + Home + Power, Power up on warning)

6. Select your phone in tab ID:COM

7. Click AP and select extracted .md5 file (It'll take some time to load)

8. Click on Pit tab next Options (dismiss warning), Click on PIT and select .pit file

9. Press START and wait... after flash you will see German notice, tap on button, phone will restart

10. There will be a new update in settings, and you can also remove preinstalled German apps

Thanks for taking the time to answer me :) .

I will download the file you have posted and think about doing such update.

Could you please confirm me just a couple of things?

1) after this procedure, how is the KNOX counter? Is it still ok? always 0x0?

2) the CSS code in the downoaded firmware is DBT (germany). What languages are available? Is the italian language available?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
I just checked from the system settings and .... the phone is downloading some kind of OTA .... i don't know yet if it is lillopop. I will tell you when it finishes ... it is a 886,66 MB update. Maybe Slovakian S5 mini are getting lollipop official update ....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
I checked my 800F too and it downloaded an update with the same file size. So I checked available firmware for my region with an application called Phone INFO (star) Samsung (star) and it showed that there is an Lollipop update available on OTG and Kies. SAMSUNG FINALLY MADE IT!

P.S. I don't know why, but when I go to the page where I can upgrade, in description I don't see something like "Upgrade package to Android Lollipop", because my friend's device had it when he updated his samsung phone.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
If you are talking about this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo ) application, i have already been using it.

However, i didn't know that this app is able to tell if there is any firmware upgrade ... can you please tell me in which tab and at which line is there such information?

Thank you in advance :):)

I also don't read anything referring to lollipop when i read the description of the OTA update from the phone. This is the reason why i was holding back. I tought it was another kitkat firmware ....

By the way, did you already downloaded and installed this update on your phone? Can you personally confirm it is lollipop?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
Yes, I'm talking about the same application as in the link. How to check available firmware:

When you open the program, there are three little lines on upper corner, so press those and then there should appear some more settings. There has to be a button called "Firmware Browser". Tap on it. Then write your model in first(longer) text box and CSC on second(CSC is region code(like DBT - Germany, XEO - Poland, so there should be written three capital letters, if not - write by yourself(you can find CSC in this program, there's a section called " CSC Codes"). Then, press the button "Find" and there should appear a list with available firmware.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
Yes, I can. I downloaded and installed the update. It took me about 15 minutes. Not the S6 level upgrade(a little worse than S6). Here's the photo for proof.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
Thanks DarkLTU, i didin't know that function of the app. It is really very usefull.

Wonderfull!! Can you please tell me if all application and data application gets deleted during an OTA update?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
No, I didn't saw any data loss from all apps(system and downloaded). It did update the Google apps though(I had the factory version of couple Google apps because I didn't use them and when I updated firmware, it updated these too).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
Good. What are your thoughts about this update? Is the phone smooth as it was with kitkat? Did samsung introduce any bug?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
It's good and very smooth, RAM friendly, scores more K's(thousands) on AnTuTu Benchmark than before(23 than 19).

Bad things: no storage indicator on the bottom when you enter Settings and press on Application Manager, boots up 10 seconds slower,can't get more than 10FPS when I record my screen with applications that I download(i posted about it, it has to be in S5 mini Q&A and Troubleshooting section)

My opinion: still update to it!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
How much RAM is available? On Kitkat i have 1,2 GB of RAM (usually 1 GB is used by the applications i have currently istalled and 200 Mb is free). I have read online that the available RAM on lollipop is less than the RAM available on kitkat; is that true?

EDIT: to be more precise, if i check the informations provided by the CPU-Z application ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z&hl=it ) in the "device tab" i get:

total RAM: 1258MB

Available RAM 183 MB

Can you please check this info on you device too? Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
On Android 5.1.1 I have

Total RAM: 1258 MB

I think 5.1.1 is much more stable smoother than kitkat.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
Wow! That's a lot of available RAM!

Are you still running the german 5.1.1. fw you flashed with ODIN or .... did you installed the officiali slovakian 5.1.1. via OTA or KIES?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikronum:
I run on official Slovak firmware.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLTU:
I had more than a 1GB of RAM used in KitKat, but now I have a lot more than in KitKat.

By CPU-Z(in normal state):

By Smart Manager(after optimizing):

682MB free(46% used)

I don't have much apps installed though(maybe about 20).

Have you read the thread? If there is no official update for your phone then you can try (at your own risk) a version for another region (CSC), as it was reported in this thread that works. You can always go back to stock as long as the phone isn't bricked.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lansa_BE:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night on the web:
In this thread it has been reported that installing an official samsung firmware with ODIN will not trip the Knox counter.

How ever, i would suggest you to check if an official update is available to you before trying anything. To do so, download this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo ) and use the "browse firmware" function. It will list all the available firmwares for your specific device. From that list we can understand if there is an official update for your phone. If you want you canpost a screenshot so that we can help you read those informations.
