[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi1ot:
Long story short: my mom dropped her Note 4 into water and got it out quickly. Her case was so so water tight, no water actually got into the battery compartment as both water damage indicators do not show damage.

Screen comes on, looks normal, but the phone shows the splash screen and just reboots.

I *CAN* reboot into the recovery mode menu. I tried getting a T-mobile Note 4 update file, putting it on a SD Card and trying to update the phone. No luck.

Phone does not show up as a storage device hooked up the computer, nor will Kies detect it.

The only thing she really wants is her contact list.

Any ideas? Is there some sort of file manager I could access through the recovery mode screen to go extract the contacts?

Lastly, no, she does not sync her contact list to Google.

Thanks in advance to any help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubba Fett:
Maybe her contacts are saved to the sim. Not rooted right? The tried and true method seems to give it a couple days in rice and try and boot again. I haven't had to do it(knock on wood) but I assume take everything out and cover off.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi1ot:
Yeah, it didn't help. Ended up using the recovery mode to wipe it. Then fried the chips to prevent recovery since I wasn't able to do my usual device return protocol (encrypt whole device, wipe, encrypt again, download large empty files to fill up space, wipe).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubba Fett:
Is your mom a spy? Bummer it didn't work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi1ot:
LOL! No, but she had passwords stored as plain text (unencrypted). Not a great idea I know, but I don't think she understands these things.

[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] JT-on:
Hey guys and gals. I've been poking around the forums here and crpalmer's unofficial CM13 has caught my eye. Many of the users in the forum praise how buttery the ROM is. At the same time, many users lament how the stock ROM achieves better battery life. I wondering, perhaps the stock ROM's lag is a direct result of aggressive battery saving protocol (e.g. cpu/gpu throttling). What do you think? If this is true, Huawei should implement a battery management switch similar to Windows (Power saving, Balanced, high performance). I'd happily sacrifice battery life for a buttery UI when I can afford it, and vice versa.

Continuing that thought, I use Nova launcher on Stock ROM and I haven't been too offended by lag. The only minor issues I have is when using Google Now search (a noticeable delay opening) and the task switcher (delay in both opening the switcher and entering a selected app). Where do you guys lag on stock ROM and does changing the launcher help?

Cheers.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
yes the Nova launcher helps, but the No-Swap script from [MENTION=2682748]EarlyMon[/MENTION] makes a Huge difference.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] fazorni:
You mean applying the now-swap script improves performance?

[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] blas4me:
I entered the arena a little late, but I've run almost all of the custom roms that will boot on my device. I'm currently running stock heavily modified and I'm very impressed with my $159.00 phone. I paid almost $600 for a developer model G1, but would never pay that much now, since then I've had some very good high end devices, and now the Honorable 5x, everyone I know has cast aside my device once I tell them how much I paid, sad world. My point being, the custom roms run great, but they take away the hidden treasures in this little beauty. Here's one.

PS: This is the first were I have to read how to's, I discovered by accident the the camera is a scanner, try scanning bar code or QR

[MENTION=1868035]blas4me[/MENTION], what do you mean by heavily modified stock ROM? Are you talking about this ROM?: http://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/development/rom-b140-debloated-t3335837

Well, I haven't used any of such debloated ROM, neither I disabled swap, but I feel that EMUI 3.1 is much laggy than EMUI 4.0. The UI is laggy, openings apps takes time n all. Plus I hate it because Huawei disabled OTG capabilities in it. (Best part is they didn't even know if it works, during beta test, we were told that phone hardware doesn't support OTG. We had to redirect them to XDA post where OTG capabilities can be enabled by flashing custom kernel; and then they believed it, but never enabled in EMUI 4.0 release.).

With EMUI 4.0, Huawei shipped issues like excessive RAM consumption, all CPU cores always online, which drains your battery and also heats up your phone. This is one of the reason I moved to CM13. Plus frankly I like stock Android. I used Huawei propriety EMUI for a while but didn't like it much. I feel lack of user friendliness at some places (just look at the default clock for example, you need to keep scrolling in order to set up the alarm. Other clock apps downloaded from Play store doesn't seem to ring alarm on time. Also with EMUI 4.0, try the swiping WhatsApp notification, I am quite sure you will hate it.).

If Huawei fixes the issues with EMUI 4.0, and put some sugar on top with OTG support, then I might give a try to EMUI 4.0 again for a while :o
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] JT-on:
Yes, [MENTION=1868035]blas4me[/MENTION], care to share your list of modifications? I'd like the stability of stock with some performance improvements (even at the expense of battery)
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] blas4me:
Sure, first I calibrated my battery. A old habit, anyway just use phone until dead, then fully charging in off mode would be best, but you can charge powered on, then, power off when you get to 100%, until your notification light is green. From there install battery guru, put in learning mode and that's pretty much it on that side. The phone comes with power saving features, I'm using smart mode. I also have amplify installed, an xposed module, not sure if it's playing a part in power conservation. When I say heavily modified , about twenty or so xposed modules, some custom scripts running, changed density and some other haks, craks, and work arounds, that I won't mention, but I have shared or found within the community.

PS: I have nova launcher, and animations & transitions turned off in developer options, and in nova I set all animations & transitions to fast.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnciaccio:
I agree with the op. The stand-by time on this rom (3.0) is great. That and the fp scanner is what is keeping me on this rom. However I choose to change the animation from .5x to 1x and it feels more smooth. I also limit to 3 background apps. I do keep it on performance mode and have am still getting great power use! The no swap script makes noticeable difference. Like others stated the only lag really is in the app switcher and google search.

Great phone for the price. I sold my nexus 6 as is was getting to bulky to carry around and I am just not using it as much as before. Only thing I miss is the new look of notifications in the preview N.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rongold3:
Hi, I got the lg g4 H-815 , android version 5.1 and v10c software. I want to root the phone because i want to flash roms and kernels to get a better performance.

, but im confused will all the guides, therefore i got some questions i would really appriciate if someone answers them.

1. Do i have to unlock bootloader in order to gain root access and flash roms etc?

2. What is the most easiest and reliable guide to root the phone?

Sorry for my English.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdev0101:
Root is not needed for flashing ROMs, what is needed is TWRP and unlocked bootloader, when the bootloader is locked it means that it will not boot up if it detects that you flashed 'stuff' unsigned by LG - custom ROMs! Anyway if you only want to root it and you don't mind of MM, you can root it on LP without unlocking the bootloader. Although, if I was on your place I would hold on a minute and checked my serial number first because it is more likely that your phone can die at any minute, independently of what you are actually doing on your phone... G4 is a ticking bomb, when mine fell into a bootloop (it's not like a bootloop when you flash something wrong, the phone is like dead ), since I have unlocked my bootloader LG refused to repair it so many times... They just gave my number to SBE and said that they will repair my phone if I pay, guess what, these idiots refused as well. About 3 times tho. So I was on my own, after a month I managed to make my phone work(ish). I'm not saying I fixed it because this is unfixable. I just made it work. Not fully functional tho, at least it will last I'll buy a new phone, and no more LG for me. And I would recommend you to have a think about doing this stuff. If you have warranty they will replace it immediately, but if not you'll need to fight them up, as I am going to. PSST, you can still root it on LP without losing the warranty, remember!!

I am interested, and I am sure others are as well in removing Amazon's bloatware from their decent tablet.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyln:
It would be so awesome if we got CM-12.1 on the HD 8.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Would be awesome. Hopping this happens. But before this can happen we would first hear of a custom recovery option for the HD10 like TWRP. Which is more complicated then making a Rom. After that Roms can be next.

Hopefully a couple of good developers can get their hands on some HD10's to get them developing for them. :fingers-crossed:

Note: Missed the part that you where asking about HD8's not HD10's. But since HD10's are the only of the two that are rootable at the moment. I would think the HD10's are more likely to get recovery & Roms.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggow:
- I have been looking into the HD8 and HD10

- They seem to use the same firmware - both are codenamed 'thebes'

- All the known exploits have been fixed up by amazon making these devices well locked down

- The devices use the MediaTek 8135 and this has proved very difficult to work with

- The Amazon HD6 uses the same processor and while I was able to get CM-11 working, there were problems with video playback, bluetooth etc

- Getting TWRP to work on these devices has a low probability

- However if we get a working version of FlashFire for these devices then there is a possibility for a custom ROM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Humn... Wonder if kingroot has ever been tested on the older FW on HD8 since they are the same as HD10's. Don't own one so haven't paid attention to HD8's.

Forgot about FlashFire, which would be great for HD10/HD8. Is there a way to request FlashFire support. Maybe the developer might just need some info/files from us to get it going.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggow:
I haven't ask Chainfire yet, he's seems to have a lot on his plate.

I can confirm Kingroot works on the HD8 and therefore the HD10.

I don't own either devices but was able to borrow an HD8 for a small amount of time and I managed to gain root access with the latest version of KingRoot.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Please ask Chainfire at least what he would need from us so we can get them ready for him.

I knew HD10 was KingRootable. But did not know about HD8. Thanks for verifying that. I don't even have the HD10 anymore myself. But do have long distance access to it. I gave it to a family member. But I hope to still get CM12.1 or other ROM on it for them to get the full Android experience. Hope it happens.

Chainfire has now responded requesting logs of folks trying to run FlashFire on the three tablets. Instructions about logging is quoted above from the OP @ the FlashFire thread.

I don't have immediate access to the HD10 tablet. So someone else with a HD10 will need to do the testing to get the logs. We will need to find at least one tester per tablet. More then one would be good too.

Guess will need folks with HD6, HD8 & HD10 tablets to ROOT & install FlashFire v31 & try to run it & save both logs to show Chainfire. Make sure you label which tablet, what FirmWare, what KingRoot & which FlashFire version you are using. Let us know which tablet you'll be testing on below.

OK. I got my fire 8 on Wednesday. (Fire OS 5.0.1 - 5.1.1 downloaded and is waiting for me to install since I turned on WiFi.)

(Fastboot mode is just a black screen, no logo whatsoever, seems to respond to commands.)

Tried a few different root methods. (All failed.)

This afternoon I finally gave in, setup WiFi and used kingroot. After a few reboots, thankfully no auto fire updates, I finally got root os. (No root in adb.)

Installed SuperSU and get stuck updating binary.

FlashFire will not work since I don't have SuperSU or cm permissive.

Help.

This worked great for me. I downloaded the files and let my 8 charge overnight. (Forgot it had downloaded fire 5.1.1 update.)

I deleted the 5.1.2 update that downloaded while rooting. Used RootJunky supertool to block OTA's along with ads and Installed Google Play. Launcher swap did not work but gave me the instructions to make the swap. (Install Nova.apk then deleted com.amazon.firelauncher.apk and reboot.)

From what I've read. FlashFire backups are not NAND backups. So they are not what is needed. We should still use 3rd party backup apps.

The PasteBin should only include the log itself. nothing else. So the first link you posted was correct. Not this last link. The extra info needs to be used at the actual FlashFire thread. So you still need to go post the log link and all your info at the FlashFire thread for ChainFire.
