[Dell Venue] ohFrosty:
So I have followed all the steps in the rooting process for the Dell Venue 8 7840 on 5.1 Lollipop but I get stuck on one step. I flashed my firmware, then went into the Launcher program and selected T4, then it brought me to the screen where I can select a zip file. When I try to select the zip from the SD card it says can't mount SDcard, I followed all the steps perfectly and have tried this at least 30 times. If anyone knows of a way that can help me please let me know! Much appreciated.
[Dell Venue] Illux:
Yup, u gotta mount sdext. There should me some point called "mounting" or "storage".
[Dell Venue] ohFrosty:
I'll try it out when I get home. Thank you!
[Dell Venue] ohFrosty:
It didn't work. By the way, I don't have an external SD card so I'm using the internal SD card.
[Dell Venue] Illux:
You have to unmount System, but it´s not proven to work yet. U might wanna get an external SD, it´s ~10 $ and guaranteed to work.

Phone specs:

RELOCKED
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF
CID-11111111
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-1.23.213311491.05G
OpenDSP-v48.2.2-00564-M8974_FO.1211
OS-4.20.531.4 (1.54.401.5)
eMMC-boot 2048MB

So I'm trying to update my One M8, and I think I messed up pretty bad. I tried running the RUU updater for my T-Mobile variant (found on HTC's ROM Download page), but got the infamous "error 155." However, my bootloader is re-locked. Therefore, according to all the forum posts I could find, I shouldn't be getting that error. I've run a few commands since then, including fastboot oem writecid 11111111 and fastboot erase cache. Somehow, I've managed to get to the point where my phone won't even boot into recovery, it just gets stuck at the "Entering recovery..." screen. However, while stuck on this screen, the phone does respond to ADB commands. I can get root shell access, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

I've tried flashing TWRP 3.0.0.0 to no avail. I've tried running fastboot boot <twrp filename here>, also to no avail. I'm pretty much stuck with a phone that only boots into fastboot, and a weird purgatory-recovery where I can achieve shell access. The RUU file fails to update no matter what I do.

Is there a way I can fix this, or have I completely bricked my phone?

Thank you for your time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazza35:
Have you flashed both stock recovery for the RUU in particular youre flashing and re-locked BL, and are you installing a version number that is equal to or higher than the one you already have installed.

Completely stock phone should flash RUU, as long as its not a version down from whats installed, ie, trying to flash LP when MM is already flashed on phone, UNLESS of course youre s-off and supercid, because with supercid you should be able to flash any RUU .

But i had similar issues, im s-on, so i had to revert to stock LP completely, then flashed HTC__001 Stock MM for my phone, failing all that there is always the option of copying a nandroid on here to ur sd card, boot into twrp and restore the Nandroid just to get it up and running again.

I would run the RUU, let it sit at first screen, goto start button and type in %temp%, find the folder inside temp that ruu just created, (sort by date), pull the rom.zip from that to ur desktop, Unzip it and get the files recovery and boot.img, flash them both to ur phone via fastboot, if it still works, then restart ur phone and it should load up, you could then try to install the RUU from windows again, failing that after flashing recovery and boot, goto ur stock recovery and wipe and reset then reboot phone.

It doesnt sound like hard brick, just soft brick, it should be ok.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
If you try to flash a Android MM ruu i suggest to flash a lower ruu first. Usually the big jump from the 3.16 boot loader to a 3.19 boot loader is too much.

Or flash the standalone firmware first and then the full ruu.

The high version of TWRP doesn't work because your bootloader is too low (3.16) if you want a working TWRP then use a 2.7 version.

If you can get to the bootloader then it's just a softbrick. A hardbrick is only when the bootloader is not accessible anymore or when the phone doesn't boot up in any way anymore.

Cheers
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is most likely the solution. In particular, if OP is trying to install MM RUU, there is a new peculiarity (requirement?) with all MM RUUs, where you need to have MM firmware in order to run the RUU, or else you will have Error 155.

Find the firmware.zip that matches the version number of the RUU, flash it; then try the RUU again.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

You don't need stock recovery to RUU. Folks keep saying this, and its not true.

You need stock recovery to OTA, but you do not need it for RUU. OTA and RUU are two very different things.

This is also not true. You need to match MID and CID (or SuperCID) in order to flash an RUU. SuperCID bypasses the CID check, but you still need to pass the MID check.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Same peculiarity with the MM RUU I mentioned above (need to flash the MM firmware if coming from LP) also applies if you try to downgrade back to LP. Meaning, you need to flash the LP firmware, then LP RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RalphORama:
Thank you (and everyone else) for your replies! Out of curiosity, where can I find a lower RUU? I can only find the most recent one from HTC's website.

EDIT: I flashed TWRP 2.7 and I was able to boot into recovery! I love progress.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LlamaLord:
So i am going to do more testing on this but i just got the Nexus 6p and i use Google Music ALOT! But when i am using it and turn the phone and it rotates...There is a slight lag with the phone and music. This is right out of the box with the most recent OS update and all updates from the app store. No other apps installed other than the stock apps.

Just wanted to see if this is normal with the phone or a problem. I want to stick with this phone but can not live with t his lag problem at all.

Let me know

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koragg618:
I'm not too sure about the phone lag you're talking about, but the music lag when you rotate is because of the speaker channels being swapped; when you hold it portrait, the left channel is played on the top speaker, and the right on the bottom. When you rotate is so the top speaker is now on the right side, the phone will rearrange the channels so the music is now correctly playing on the right channels (right on right, left on left), which is why you hear small gap in the music while rotating.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LlamaLord:
Yeah that sounds about right so it happens to all these phones not just mine good!!! Yeah i called it "lag" because it kind of seemed like it but the way your telling me sounds normal.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
There is a general lag too. The keyboard has quirks once in a while.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIgster:
General lag? Huh? On stock? Latest version?

This is one of the fastest phones I've ever used. I noticed NO lag whatsoever. Just not sure about some of you guys. I think you just like the word lag. Hey, I want my phone to open an app right away when I'm thinking about opening an app BEFORE I touch the icon. Yeah...that's it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
"Lag" is my favorite word! Every time I read it I get off.

That's why I have the Nexus 6p. For the lag and good times.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Why is there always someone like you here? If someone has an issue with your beloved phone, this is how you act? The guy is personally having an issue, it doesn't mean the phone sucks. Give him a break while he tries to fix his issue.

As to the OP, it's probably what has already been said and the slight delay are the speakers switching orientation.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaMh:
There is always someone like you as well (with you and [MENTION=408485]work[/MENTION] taking most shifts), it all balances out. He was just giving his expierence.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Oh please, he wasn't giving his experience, he was simply being rude and making OP feel bad as if he shouldn't have that issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIgster:
LOL...Puuulease. I'm simply stupefied that anyone who has this phone can have a lag. Hence the reason I asked his configuration which he did not report nor did he answer. How do we know what he's running on this "laggy" phone. There are literally a ton of people on this forum and on YouTube and all over the Internet that say this is one of the fastest and most "lag free" phones they have ever used. But some guy posts and says he has a "lag" with no other information and we're all supposed to be OMG...NOT a lag!!!!! We're all gonna' die!!!!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Did you even read the OP? He clearly said when it happens and which app he is using when it happens. What exactly is your problem here?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIgster:
You might want to read my post again and see who I quoted and responded to. It wasn't the OP. Not sure what your problem is? Maybe time to relax a bit there dude.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Umm, you quoted me! Lmao.

And like I said before, he said which app he was experiencing lag in within his first post. He didn't say the entire phone was laggy.

He also clearly said it was straight out of the box with no other apps installed.

So you either clearly didn't read the OP or you have some serious reading comprehension issues going on.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
He actually quoted one of the other people in this thread, not the OP, or you, and then you engaged him first by quoting his reply to that person. Either way you both need to quit the squabbling, it makes you both look petty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I quoted him on one of his posts and then he quoted me. Either way, I'm over it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
My point is you attacked him, telling him he didn't read the OP, and that he has reading comprehension issues, but he was never talking to the OP, he was talking to the person who said he was experiencing general lag when he first responded to this thread, which is when you first engaged him. That's why he told you to check who he quoted. Your entire argument with him here is based on your incorrect assertion that he was taking to the OP. For the record, I don't agree with him at all, every phone has lag at some point, including this one, whether people want to admit it or not.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIgster:
I appreciate you clarifying. Yes, that;s exactly what happened. It's actually a pretty silly argument. I was merely commenting on a drive by post about a "general" lag with no details. I think that is the person that should have to at least explain themselves and not simply post a drive by.

For the record, I've only had the 6P for about 2 months now, but I have NO lag whatsoever and have a LOT of apps installed. Each to his own I guess.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
It's all good bro. It's just a phone and it's just XDA. Neither which are serious. Have a good weekend.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Seemed pretty serious while you were attacking another member, and until it was pointed out you were wrong. But sure, you too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeanfrancis:
Hi!

My Nexus 5 device seems to have many issues, some that I have resolved, some that appeared next. Here is some history.

- The first issue that I had was that some sensors were not detected, and the others were not working. Sensor testing applications found some of them (but they didn't work), and others like the accelerometer didn't even show up in the list.

- For a couple of months now, once in a while (at each ~2 weeks), I find my Nexus 5 powered off, and bricked (the boot process stops at the Google logo)

- Each time, flashing the original images worked (simply using flash-all.sh)

- After one of these flashes, I had no wifi. Flashing the original image did not work. Rooting/installing TWRP recovery, erasing cache, etc. did not work. I finally got it to work by installing a custom ROM, and never understood why it worked.

- Device bricked again, flashed the original image back. Wifi still works, but no SIM card detected. Absolutely no sensors are detected. The device reboots after a couple of minutes. This is where I am now.

What I tested so far :

- Rooting the device, running e2fsck on the partitions, some of them showed errors. None of them show bad sectors.

- Moving the content of /persist (to try to fix the SIM card problem)

- Flashing custom ROM, stock ROM, old ROM, different radio, etc.

- Removing/inserting the SIM card

I really am out of ideas, does anybody have ideas that I could test? I'm starting to think that I have an hardware issue but I still hope to repair the device... The issues started to appear right after the guarantee was expired.

EDIT: I found many threads about power button issues, however right now if I boot to Android the device reboots after few minutes, but when the phone is in TWRP recovery it stays open and never reboot. I therefore think that the reboot problem is not related with the power button.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzbang3:
Anyone know if there's a definitive way of doing this? Or if Google intend to address this in the future for Android devices?

I hate to reference Apple but I can pin or fingerprint unlock an iphone 5s, yet the contents of the phone are entirely encrypted. If I plug it into a PC it's not accessible unless the display is unlocked.

With Android though, I need to enter a huge encryption password. I've found a couple of very old guides but none of them seem to be up to date and many responses to the guides imply they don't work.

I'd love to encrypt my Note 2 and my SD card :/ but I don't want to enter a password to unlock it for every day use :/

Surely Google will be looking at an easier solution long term for this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JDSX:
I am using the Tilt. I set ActiveSync to sync during peak times "as items arrive" and then within 24 hours it's back at "manual". I think it has to do with the network switch from Edge 9at home) to 3G (at work) but I don't know for sure. Each morning after arriving at my office it occurs to me no email has arrived for a while and, lo and behold, it's set to manual again.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emtee_skull:
I asked this question somewhere else and it was overlooked.

What does that warning mean exactly?

I'm concerned with what happens when/if Verizon notices a whole bunch of phones on their network with the same CID. Could they one command lockout that CID and all the devices with the CID?

I can't find anything about exactly what the CID is and what for it is used.

Am I just being over paranoid?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfantryMarc:
I doubt it would come to that seeing as how the device is almost 2 years old. Verizon would spend more man hours looking into that than its worth.

Warning is just a basic standard warning saying if you do this, and something goes wrong, it is your own fault. And seeing as how the developers edition is straight from Samsung and not Verizon, they'd be hard pressed to really tell.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emtee_skull:
Thank you for your response.

I understand it's a basic standard warning. I was wanting to get more information potential pitfalls of numerous devices with the same CID. I cant google CID with any meaningful results. I have tried many permutations CID of trying to get specific information about what the CID is and what is it's purpose on cellular networks.

Can this be used for nefarious deeds. Can one use this as a shield to cover illegal activities because the CID for the phone is not unique. With the potential of everyone with this CID getting a visit from an investigation officer.

As I write this I know it sounds very paranoid, but I like to know what I'm doing before I do it.

I guess the simple answer is don't use the hack it and that may be what I choose if I can't allay my fears. We will see, I really want customization.

I hope I am just being very paranoid and the CID isn't used for anything more than identification in Samsung's database..........
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robots_Never_Die:
They won't know that you changed your CID unless you give your phone to someone at Samsung/Verizon. It's not an account # or serial #. You're over thinking this. The only thing you need to worry about is if you're warranty is valid because this will void it. If it's expired or you don't care about it then it's no big deal.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Dangerous Dave:
So I've had my G5 less than a week now and really like the phone. But I'm starting to notice some Bluetooth issues. I have an unreasonable number of Bluetooth earpieces and headsets, and have started noticing problems with all of them with the new phone. From very poor sound quality to the connection being dropped while the phone is in my hand or my pocket. I've had the headsets a long time, the phone is the new variable in the equation. And I'm having some degree of trouble with all my headsets, which leads me to believe there's a phone issue. Anybody else experiencing anything like this? Not sure if it might be a defective phone, or if it's a G5 problem. Anybody?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ArtDesire:
I don't have any of those issues, sound quality shouldn't be the bluetooth issue.

The only issue I have is the range. covering the phone with a hand in a pocket might make the headphones stutter.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Dangerous Dave:
Perhaps "sound quality" was a poor choice of words on my part. I start getting a garbled 'sproingey' (sorry, don't know how to explain it better) condition, where I actually had to take it off Bluetooth, as I couldn't carry on a conversation. Never had any such problems with my G2 with same headsets, so this is all new. I hate to think I need to do a hard reset on a phone I've had less than a week to resolve such a problem. I hope being a relatively early adopter hasn't set me up for a pack of teething problems. So you say others have been experiencing similar problems?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bolillo:
Yeah some have had reported problems with the Bluetooth audio being garbled or the headphone jack crackling, i haven't experienced any of the issues so far, this launch has been riddled with faulty devices it seems, there is even a thread on reditt that shows stuff to check before walking out the store
