[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teks0427:
Hi! The phone won't go to droidboot mode. PressingPOWER + VOLUME UP brings me to the Asus bootup screen (sometimes with a black background and sometimes with a blue one) and the words

CSC Mode

long press power key to restart system

And sometimes it's just the normal Asus bootup screen (and gets stuck there). On that CSC mode screen, plugging in the USB and typing "fastboot devices" does nothing

D:\501KL>fastboot devices

Booting up in recovery mode works, and when in the recovery mode menu page, typing "fastboot devices" still does nothing but typing adb devices gets this response:

D:\501KL>adb devices

List of devices attached

051c7013 recovery

D:\501KL>

Running (as administrator) the file sec_offline_update_image.cmd from the recovery menu page gets this response:

D:\501KL>fastboot oem backup_config

< waiting for device >

And it stops there.

Also, when plugging the USB cable to the phone, it starts installing an "MTP USB Device" but always fails after a few minutes.

I already tried bringing the phone to the accredited Asus Zenfone repair center here in the Philippines but they said they don't have the firmware to flash this model. They didn't give any explanation nor did they refer me to anyone else who might know how to fix this thing.

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristopherXI:
Read his problem carefully.

He has a 500KL not a 500CG.

That guide will not work

Apologies for saying thus but if there are no RAW firmware of the LTE model. It's pretty hopeless
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgadelha:
The

sec_offline_update_image

is for A500CG/A501CG only.

I'm sorry but I do not own an A501KL so I can't help you with that.

And if ASUS can't help you, sue them for that. ;)

I dare to push this question up, since I also need a cameraless (not "disabled", physically absent) phone... any updates which ones are available? Seems like AT&T doesn't put every HTC phone as a cameraless version out anymore... (though I like the standby times on my treo 680 right now ;))

the only pda i come across without camera are from eten & limited

seriously so far only samsung pda have a decent camera lens, the rest of the brand's camera lens are not even worth the $ for it if they were to sell in separate parts

hope oem will work with some camera brands to give as a powerful pda with wonderful camera as compact cameras are so slim nowadays.
[General Topics] TauTau:
kaiser is quite old, WM5 aera... I already use an old PDA-Phone (Treo 680) and have a cingular 8500 around that I only use as navigation system in the car, because CPU, memory and the OS weren't good enough back then, as well as the treo 750 that sleeps in some drawer ;) And the reason is simply the same as for millions other ppl worldwide: security. no camera allowed.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhamazhar:
Ok. So, I'm a noob at this and I'm sorry if I sound stupid.

The thing is I recently bought a Galaxy S5. The device in the about device menu says it's 900F and so does the sticker underneath the battery but recently when I was about to root it I got into odin mood and realized the model it stated there was 900P. I then connected it to Kingo Root and that also declared my device as 900P but the root process failed even though it reached 100%.

So my question now is what if I were to flash the stock 900P ROM on my device.

Will it brick my device and since 900P is the Sprint model will my phone enter sim lock mode?

I know I sound stupid but I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vatsal:
Hello,

Your phone is 900F since you have that stated in about phone. We dont recommend flashing 900P ROMs to 900F device, You may end up in unexpected troubles.

For root, please visit here root SM900F and read the entire thread thoroughly.

-Vatsal
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhamazhar:
I understand that and I've rooted other devices before. The only thing that's confusing me is that it says Device Model: 900P in download mode and if I were to flash using the CF Auto Root for 900F I could end up getting my device hard bricked I found a similar article of a guy having the same problem and someone there recommended 900P based stock ROM to fix that issue but since he didn't comment if that fixed the issue for him or not I'm not sure what to do. I'm sorry if I'm annoying you like this

900F and 900P

[Remix Mini General] wiking76:
I've always error with video addon installation

this is the log http://pastebin.com/DtbedC6e
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
Which add-on is it?
[Remix Mini General] wiking76:
Stream on Demand or Exodus
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
I am using Kodi 16.1 and SPMC and have used Exodus, Genisis, Phoenix, One Channel and others, all flawlessly. I never heard of stream on demand. The mutts nuts and the mutts nuts reloaded error for me.

BTW: I am rooted.
[Remix Mini General] wiking76:
What is SPMC? Stream on Demand in an italian addon for italian channel, sorry XD

How you install the addon? Probably i do something wrong. Sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand me

Ps. Is helpful the rooting of remix mini?

Pps. i've found SPMC, today i'll try it
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
Keep us posted. SPMC is a streamiline buikd of Kodi. I am using the latest built on 16.1 I think

Rooting is a bit challenging because of the way it has to be done. Is it beneficial? Well you can delete some bloat and add other apps. I am still tinkering, but you can also break your system. There is no cutom recovery and I am not sure if bootloader is unlocked. I am just learning to mess with android so it is fun.
[Remix Mini General] Hebekiah:
Oh, good, you're here! I have Jarvis (16.1?) from google play store, see on semperpax your 16.3.0 SPMC. I know you like the Nvidia Shield (should I get it if it's gonna spend most of it's life as a Kodi machine? Oh, and MLB at Bat device, really important as the Mini only gives basic android app while my ancient WD Live Plus box has a richer version with "Skip to inning" and "watch from beginning" on live games and jump forward button for commercial breaks without having to scroll or fast forward just tap button (I hear but not sure the Shield does that too) so get the Shield or not (it's so damn sexy while the Mini and WD are basically doing their jobs and there is no native keyboard with the Shield)?

Back to question: Does SPMC have any advantage for the Mini?

I see on semperpax that abilities are added to Shield and I don't have a fancy sound system, just soundbar (Vizio).

Currently using TDB Wizard Zeus Build. Is that the right one for Mini? Says it's for 2 GB devices. Everything working. But since you build/use the SPMC, gotta believe it's good. And we are talking koying SPMC?

Simple: Is koying/SPMC better on Mini than the Zeus build (or something like it)?

Also, does the Mini main screen being on a lower resolution (so the icons are bigger and easier to click with air mouse) affect the Kodi screen and movies?

The Kodi icons seem to be the same size either way but sometimes seems like HD stream is better when Mini set to 1080x1920 but could be wrong as streams vary so much.

Once again, does the Mini resolution setting affect Kodi?

Did you ever find good reasons for rooting? I've been able to sideload anything I've wanted (though I still wish I was able to move MLB app from WD to Mini (not for me directly but my wife is much happier when she has her baseball, so yeah it's for me, too)).

And lastly, if I give in to the sexiness of the Nvidia Shield, will the remote work wonderfully (wife, remember, baseball, chick tv shows) is there any point in getting the 500 GB model if I have 3 extra 2GB hard drives with a cheapy external reader, not NAS (though I've used none of them since Kodi streams but have thought of setting up PVR function for F1 races)? Oh, and I've seen folks trying to run PIA VPN on Shield (for baseball blackouts), with varying results. Any experience?

Wow, thanks, I've unloaded so many of my little streaming doubts, are you "oncouch" like a therapist?
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
Rooting allows use of some programs to clean bloat, or rearrange system etc. All not mandatory but I like the freedom. Also using apps2sd pro to move apps to SD card re d . Adblocker and others need root. Some was built for Android not PC so it is smaller and optimized for our hardware.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiaohan:
Recently I flashed my phone, so it missed all the files on the storage.

Now I want to install google play store back on. But I couldn't find all the right apk on the web.

Anyone could provide some link for the latest google service apk please?

I think I need:

Google Framework Service apk

Google Play Service apk

Google Play Store apk

Google Login Server/Account Manager apk

Thank you.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxl.noir:
Uh, why didn't you just flash any GApps package?

http://opengapps.org/
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiaohan:
Thanks for your reply.

I am not sure what platform of my Mi 2S is, seems ARM but could be ARM64 as well.

And if I just want to install Google Play Store, then I will install all the apps including Google's, which variant should I pick? Nano?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxl.noir:
Mi2S's SoC is ARM based, so you should choose it. ARM64 is started from Snapdragon 401 and above.

Nano is a good start, although if you want all Google Apps included, you probably need to use Full or Stock (if you want to replace all AOSP app with its Google's counterparts).

And lastly, this is Mi3 forum. Mi2 and Mi2S' forum is right here: http://xdaforums.com/mi-2
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiaohan:
Thanks. I tried asking in Mi 2S forum, nobody seems know the answer.

And I tried to flash the package in recovery mode, but it doesn't allow me to do that.

Any detailed instruction or somewhere I can just download the latest packages for these 4 basic but essential apks?

Google Framework Service apk

Google Play Service apk

Google Play Store apk

Google Login Server/Account Manager apk

Thank you.

Hi -

I'm coming from the HTC One to the S6.

I've had the S6 for about a year.

I'm with AT&T.

5.1.1

SM-G920A.

I don't enjoy the bloatware anymore as it is taking up a lot of storage.

I'm curious to see if this phone could be rooted and a non-bloatware OS loaded?

I don't see much information regarding this at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] custommx3:
Look at the second post in this forum under the stickies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FearlessAZ:
Sadly, you will not be able to update and tweak everything like the HTC One series phone. I had the One X, M7 and M8 and loved them all. I figured I would try the S6 because the M9 was a disappointment. I can't wait to go back to the M10 when it comes out. I hate not having timely updates and being able to tweak those same settings.
[G4 Android Development] tabp0le:
From my understanding, the reason root cannot be achieved in the normal way, in android 6.0 are the selinux rules. What if we could modify the selinux rules? I believe we might be able to do this through send_command.exe. If you notice, the selinux partition is mounted as rw when accessing with send_command. Anyone else have input or ideas?

I find it strange how the LG G4 has such troubles being rooted with MM installed, I've heard of other devices being easy to root with MM, did LG do something to make it harder? Strange since in the past they have always been very open for developers.
[G4 Android Development] Loulou-13:
hi !

very interresting thread ,thank you ...

i don't know all adb possibilities and i don't have development knowledges. .... but it's REALY this selinux who forbide systemless root ??? and if true ,it's possible to modify this selinux by this adb fastboot way ? ( for to have a very small chance to root mm for locked phones)
[G4 Android Development] amdev0101:
The question is that if in G4 locked bootloader doesn't cover the selinux partition as well, so it may lead to a bootloop? Not sure if my thinking is right, but theory is only thing I could help with now, cannot go back to MM anymore, and bootloader unlocked as well :P Anyway I believe you'll finally find a way to root MM!
[G4 Android Development] Loulou-13:
yes... but these last mounts ,the silence of all devs (and chainfire too) clearly show that there NEVER have way.....or nobody really have searched an exploit by a strong exploration of top from bottom of this damned MM ...
[G4 Android Development] calyxim:
Irrelevant post please delete
[G4 Android Development] tabp0le:
What is irrelevant?
[G4 Android Development] michyprima:
You are giving false hopes to people.

Most MM phones cannot be rooted without a modified boot image because of all the security measures introduced. That is a good thing. Hell, even Lollipop was hard to root without a serious security hole.

Just unlock your bootloader, you have no choice.
[G4 Android Development] dontpannic:
It's the locked bootloader which causes the issues.

Rooting Marshmallow requires a modified kernel, and unfortunately you can't boot a modified kernel with a locked bootloader. With an unlocked bootloader, it's no harder to root Marshmallow than any previous version of Android.

It really depends on what you need.

Orbit minus point: 200MHz CPU

Hermes plus points: Built in slide-out keyboard, 400 MHz CPU

Presuming that is of course, a genuine of this watch.

I am looking to get hold of an actual vibrate alarm for this watch, although the specs state it should have, it does not! I am trying to find the following and wonder if anyone can help me out...

1) I presume as this appears to be a MediaTech device, it would use a VXP file?

2) Does anyone know what software is required to write an app?

I currently code a little in VB.NET, so hoping it wont be "too difficult" to write a small vibrate alarm application for my watch.

Anything anyone can offer in advice would be greatly appreciated.
