This is a very slim case. Makes your phone feel even slimmer!

Pros:

+ Finger print resistant back

+ Great button feel

+ Good protection

+ Extremely slim (feels even slimmer)

+ Great build quality, as expected from VRS Korea

+ Easy access (and wide enough) to all the ports

Cons:

- Too tight / snug fit

- It will peel the edge of the screen protector film if you have one

- Water/oil/bubble marks on the back where the phone touches the case

If you want a real slim case but still want good protection, this case is a great option.

I would gladly sacrifice protection for minimalism, but with this case you are really not sacrificing anything.

At first, the case looked like an ordinary protection case, but after putting it on, my phone feels like as if it's become slimmer. I know, it can't be, but that's the first impression I got.

The inside part of the transparent back is shiny smooth so I was kind of worried that it might stick to the phone's back and make water / oily bubble markings. After couple days of use, maybe from picking up moisture in the air and also oil from my skin, I started seeing those marks on the back of the case. I searched how this can be taken care of, and it seems you can use a very light layer of baby powder to counter this effect. I haven't tried it myself as I don't have a baby powder, nor corn starch at home.

I just wipe it really good and install it without touching the back, and the water marks are minimized.

The real only problem that I have is that it's not as easy to slip in and out of the case compared to other cases I had. It's actually a tight fit, as in, once it's in, there's no play in it. This could be a good thing for people who uses only one case for a long time, but I like switching between 2-3 cases. I'll have to see if it gets easier after using it for more time.

I have a black Galaxy S7 Edge so I got the black color case with transparent back. The back has some texture pattern on the outside making it less boring.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linznl:
My Zenfone 2 got bricked without me doing anything to it. It happened when I tried to charge my phone as I normally would. The next thing I knew, I saw a hanging USB logo. All possible solution offered around the web failed to save it. Then I tried the guide offered in this forum. manage to get into fastboot but failed to flash the firmware using all the possible solution suggested. When I tried to install file using CWM and TWRP I also get the

E:/ unable to find partition.

E:/ unable to mount cache.

E:/ unable to data

etc...

when I tried to ADB sideload my device was immediately disconnected from my pc. One thing that I found out from TWRP is that my internal storage 0 mb.

So my question, is it possible that my internal storage to be wiped out completely when I first tried to unbrick my phone using xFSTK to get into fastboot?

If so, how can I recover from this problem? Since my device is already hard brick, I'm willing to tried any possible solution to get it back to life. but I'm gonna give it a try. Another concern I have at this moment, I used to get the USB hanging screen but now no longer.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanganh2627:
How about yours phone? In facts, xfstk works on first partition only, which contains dnx, ifwi and fastboot, so it doesn't harm your phone anyway. I'm sure about that . If u can access fastboot, it's easier than you think. Just download "raw" firmware (.raw extension), then use Asus Flash Tool to flash that ".raw" firmware to your phone first. After that you can flash any other Rom u want like normal. Or open that ".raw" firmware with any archive manager like winrar, 7zip...,extract it to somewhere, go to extracted folder, u will see 2 .bat file, now either refer 2 files to flash by manually, or execute it in cmd directly.

I would love to flash this ROM to get rid of the SIM Lock on the T-Mobile version.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
That's completely NOT how this works. You flash this and you'll likely brick your phone.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Zaynoun:
So only a T-Mobile ROM is compatible with the H830? International ROM won't work?

I suppose as long as the KDZ is a GSM not CDMA,. I tried it already on HTC M9 jumped from T-Mobile RUU to At&t and then to international RUU with no bricking.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
You have to be particularly careful with LG phones (and in general). There may be some other models and manufacturers where this could work.

But I think this is rarely the way to obtain sim unlock.

A lot of the times the phones are not identical between regions and flashing a different firmware will totally destroy the phone.

LG in particular doesn't even like you flashing an older firmware onto the phone and instituted an anti-rollback mechanism on some US model phones, where even flashing the correct model's older version would result in a total brick. Yes, you could actually brick your phone by flashing a kdz file, meant for your phone, on LG flashing software, that was just the version prior.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ulakala:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Zaynoun:
So, in general. We have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, TWERP and flash custom ROMS into the LG G5 instead of trying to flash a stock KDZ?

These manufacturers are making it harder and harder, we are somehow loosing the flexibility that made us choose Android over IOS.

It is for d6903 not for d6603. And you cannot flash a pre-rooted ftf file if you have not rooted your phone before flashing. I think you should just flash the latest marshmallow ftf for d6603 and root you phone afterwards.

When I had my old S4 and S5 it was obvious why a custom rom was important as TW ran so poorly. However on this phone with stock android I'm not so sure. Why would I want to install a custom rom on this phone?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pijes:
because it's android.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brom25:
Mainly for the added functionalities.

You can either stay on stock, Motorola has a close-to-Vanilla Android, and root to be able to install Xposed Modules (Gravitybox,...) to modify it however you want. There's Marshmallux which is a custom ROM based on the stock firmware but it has been debloated and added some functionalities.

For the rest of the custom roms, no need to present them (CM13, RR,...).

Personally, I have tried them almost all and I'm getting back to marshmallux mainly for the battery life which is amazing :good:

All of the roms out there are good
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephlal:
What brom25 said.

If all you care about is a stable working phone with good battery life and you are happy with the stock performance, don't change anything.

If you like to tinker with stuff, and try rooted / xposed applications, then by all means, root away and have fun.

For me I wanted to take battery life to the next level and managed 0.4%/hr stand-by on this phone. But doing this was both a challenge and fun thing for me to do and enjoy doing that crap.

If you don't, no need for it.

How can we increase battery life after rooting?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pijes:
Use betterbatterystats or gsam apps to monitor @ identify wakelocks/alarms/service that are running while phone is in standby or idle then use paid version of amplify app to limit or disable them.

Flash different kernel and play with different cpu governors to get the best balance between performance and battery life according to your preference.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sickaxis79:
First of all battery is already outstanding compared to other phones, but you can even get a little more (1/2 hours) if you flash another kernel or tweak the stock kernel settings.Since android 6 i think you dont have to worry about strange wakelocks anymore.The new battery optimisation does a great job and if you have an app that wont sleep you can simply use the free version of greenify (no root required).

3) The 'adb devices' command confirms my phone can be detected when it's plugged in:

This is what I see on the phone:

5) I can power down the device and can reboot into the boot loader screen:

6) At this step things start to go a little bit pear shaped, i.e. wrong, when I try to use the 'adb push' command I get the following message:

F:\Downloads\Android\ADB_Fastboot>adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip /sdcard

failed to copy 'BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip' to '/sdcard': Is a directory

OK fine, no problem, I just manually copied the zip file to the SD card.

7) Now I rebooted to the boot loader screen and this is where I get stuck, this is where I get the "Failed to boot to recovery mode" error when I choose to "Boot to download mode".

Some further information:

The device still boots up properly, i.e. I can boot into Android and use the phone like I normally would.

The phone is running Android v5.1, this is the problem I want to flash the phone to Android v6.0, and flash an Android Revolution HD or ViperOneM9 ROM.
