[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
It is better to flash the twrp through adb command,

first make sure you have downloaded .img file of twrp recovery and then boot to droidboot/fastboot, there you have to open up cmd command with adb folder (press shift+right click on adb folder then click open command windows here) and it should open cmd windows, there you have to type "fastboot flash recovery " recoveryname.img" and then enter, wait untill done. Finish

Note: dont forget to put your "recoveryname.img" on adb folder or if you are lazy just simply type fastboot flash recovery (and then drag your recovery.img file towards your cmd) and enter

TWRP 3.0-M-5.0 work fine on my phone Zenfone 5 T00J Lollipop TW. But, there is a problem when it would enter into recovery mode by pressing the power button and the volume down key at the same time it can not, even USB logo appears and die.

The same problem occurs when i try to enter through via DroidBoot, i choose menu Recovery, and my Zenfone reboot and re-emerging USB logo and die.

But, when i press the power button again, can be entered into recovery mode.

You can fix it?

This is only problem, because this recovery actually works perfectly.

Hi

I have a zenfone 6, sold in India, I tried all the .img files from the post, however I am not able to boot into recovery

For each of the attempts, I can see a usb log and then the screen goes blank

I have checked and made sure that my bootloader is unlocked, so it seems the problem lies with twrp?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] q0kHaN:
is your phone's model a601cg ? make sure your bootloader is unlocked its problem with bootloader
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] shreyanshp:
Actually I am not sure about the model, it says firmware T00F and my cpu was clocked at 1.6ghz, sold in India

Could you verify if that is a601cg?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Boomshiva:
If that's toof then its 501cg ( since in India and clock speed is 1.6 ).

If using stock firmware check again device model .
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] shreyanshp:
It is actually/physically a Zenfone 6

I was able to get twrp v3.0.5 working finally

For future reference - If anyone with Indian Zenfone 6, having latest firmware, ie Android L, follow the steps

1) Downgrade the fastboot

2)flash twrp v2.8.6

3)flash twrp v3.0.5 from twrp

Hi Guys,

Recently, my favorite local radio station started streaming though an embedded media player on their site. (http://channel933.com/cc-common/streaming_onesite/) Before this transition, I could click there link and my WM Media player would open up and play the stream.

Now, I get an error saying the page is not supported. Does anyone know of a way around this? Are their plug ins for embedded media playback? Any compatible web browsers out there?

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] No-New-Phone:
Dear Tasker-Masters,

My goal:

I want to limit the use of certain apps on my son's phone (running CM12.1) using tasker. Some apps (basically games) are time-limited, others shall not be accessible at all.

What I did (apart from deactivating the guest account):

I've defined a profile "No access" that activates when certain apps start (including play store and settings). This profile starts a task calling for a lock screen asking for a code. Locking settings is especially needed to deactivate the option to developer options and root access, access to other appstores, or the device admin section.

What my son did:

He found out, that the locked app appears in the app history. Clicking the locked app in the history immediatly brings up the lockscreen. However, there's a tiny time frame of maybe 0.1 seconds, where the locked app reacts to strokes on the display. This way, it's possible to scroll down the "setting" app until you get to the "security" and "device admin" section, and then to disable tasker from there. Now, profiles cannot read or react to whatever appears in the foreground of the display.

My question:

1. Can you think about a secure way to lock access to android settings? How would that be?

2. is it possible to deactivate the appearence of (only!) the android settings in the app history?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] AeonXDA:
1. Create a profile -> Application -> Settings. This will trigger when someone goes into the settings app (yes even settings its an app).

In the task itself you can just "Go Home".

The task will trigger even if he goes to the settings from the recent app screen.

2. If your phone is rooted then just kill the settings app from running.

If not use AutoInput to press that "kill all" button (unfortunately).

Make sure also that tasker is a device administrator. You don't want your son to "accidentally" uninstall it.

You can't uninstall device admin apps without turning off that setting and he cant go into settings.

I hope these guidelines will help you.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amar95353:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amar95353:
No not at all, knox will stay 0x0 and your warranty will be retained. I can confirm this becuase i flashed the poland marshmallow firmware on my g928f and used it for like a month and then flashed the uk marshmallow firmware and knox is still not tripped. Afaik flashing the correct stock samsung firmware using odin will not trip knox and you should be all good.

i downloaded the build for my country . however the build number differs and there is no 6.0.1 firmware with my build number : XXU2AOL2 . can i flash it like that?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amar95353:
If your phone is unlocked and is indeed a g928f you can use an unlocked firmware including Poland(XEO) and UK(BTU)/(XEU) firmwares.

You can flash this marshmallow firmware if your phone is unlocked/ sim free. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/67513/G928FXXU2BPB6_G928FXEU2BPB6_XEU/

Make sure you wipe your phone before and after the odin flash.

DO NOT FLASH THIS FIRMWARE IF YOUR PHONE IS NOT UNLOCKED.

if your phone is locked to a carrier then you need to flash the carrier specific firmware for your country and depending on marshmallow availability you may have to wait for your carrier to release it.

Hey guys

I want to follow this guide here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3354307

But you need an old 32.0.A.6.200 which I can not find for my country (CH) so is it okay if I flash one of these ftf files:

-E6653_32.0.A.6.200_R14B_Nordic Generic_1298-7362.ftf

-E6653_32.0.A.6.200_NCB.ftf

I'm currently on MM 6.0 with a brand of my country. Phone should be unlocked since I'm using a different simcard from another carrier.

Will this somehow brick my phone or doesn't it matter?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andiling:
If you just want to remove bloat it would not worth the effort of rooting as you can get rid of it without root (some apps can be removed, others with "pm hide"). The upside is that you can still use official images and updates as system partition is not touched.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hucifer:
Hi all, I've been trawling through the Z3 threads trying to find a definitive answer to a question I have regarding regarding how to get a custom recovery working on the latest version of the AOSP Concept ROM, but so far have only gotten confused with all the conflicting information. My old Nexus 5 was a piece of cake to flash/root compared to the Z3!

In short - is it possible to simply flash a custom recovery.img through fastboot? If so, which one is compatible with the concept ROM?

I have a D6603 with an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks in advance.

Scratch that second post. Finally figured it all out - why is there no sticky guide about this??

If anyone else is getting twitchy trying to figure out how to install a custom recovery + ROM on their Z3, this is waht you do::

1. Flash a clean Stock KK 23.0.A.2.93 firmware (for DD6603. Other models need a different stock KK ROM afaik) using flashtool.

2. Boot phone and enable USB debugging + mock locations in Developer Options,

3. Run giefroot 3.1 bat to install root.

4. Run latest version of XZDualRecovery installer bat to install custom recovery.

5. Download a pre-rooted zip of the LP/MM ROM you want, put on SD card and flash thru recovery.

7. Wipe Cache for good measure and reboot.

6. Boot back into recovery, flash RICDefeat.zip if needed, to allow R/W functionality for apps like Adaway

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] insaned:
This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...

It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box

and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .

I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MRDOCA:
Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] insaned:
I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.

Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.

IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] middleearth1010:
It was the German based CSC

G935FDBT1APC5

However I flashed back STOCK which has

G935FNZC1APAX

The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] middleearth1010:
Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.

I have the same issue. Int. G935F in USA working on AT&T. Was stock with root and TWRP installed. Took TWRP backup. I had flashed 2 custom ROMs and all was fine except for minor fixable issues. Went back to stock couple times and even restored my rooted backup. Still... All was working! Flashed a newer version of a ROM I had flashed earlier (with no issues) but with this one, upon reboot, I had

IMEI Unknown, Baseband Version Unknown, Network not available

. I flashed back to stock and had same issue. I re-TWRP'ed and restored my rooted backup. My rooted, TWRP'ed phone is as it was, but still without the important settings. No IMEI, Baseband, or Network. Been searching for a fix and still searching.
