[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] trevonc91:
So I have a ATT Note 5 that I'm using with Cricket. Not unlocked nor rooted but for some reason when I try to add a card to Samsung Pay it says failed to connect to server. It also says that when I try to install VR app after inserting it into my VR. I've called Samsung and and they are all idiots. I've done the factory reset and uninstalled the apps thoroughly. My Knox counter is at 0. Also Knox works fine and my phone is not encrypted. I've tried on mobile network and wifi. If anyone has a solution please help. I'm running OJ1.

Hello fellows XDA, after updating my G928T to marshmallow, I can't seem to find setting.db under sqlite or even searching the file doesn't come up in /data/data/com.android.providers.setting/databases. Does anyone know where I could find this file or what may happen to it? Thanks all!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredknex:
I found some details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...e-settings-how-to-toggle-ringtone-vibration-i

from that page:

"move system settings from db to xml

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/../settings.db --> /data/system/users/userid/settings_[system|global|secure].xml"

For me it was "/data/system/users/0/settings_system.xml" and I was able to use Root Browser to find and edit it. The file is very long and hard to navigate (i was just using root browsers editor which has no search function) but I was able to add hotspot toggle on my S5 by editing it, just like I used to with the old settings.db
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anhqn91:
I was able to find it, but after editing and given the right permission also restarted, the setting reset to default and the new changes didn't stick in the new file.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrit1:
I dont get this, what do you mean with move setting from db to xml do you mean rename or what could you be more detalied ? Thnx

Sry for asking :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredknex:
I mean the setting used to be stored in a .db file, but (because samsung changed it i guess) it is now stored in a .xml file. no need to rename anything, just edit the xml.

If i recall correctly there are 2 entries pertaining to the toggles and one seems to overwrite the other on boot. Make sure to change both if anyone is still trying to do this. If that doesn't work then I don't know what I did to make it stick.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrit1:
if he uses only the xxx_reset one they are going to be overwritten by the normal one when he reboots ,it did this to me
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] last1left91:
I found that xml, I copied it on my pc, opened in browser but in that xml I couldn't find anything related to mobile data toggling, or notification toggling like this: notification_panel_default_active_app_list. Could you pls tell me how did you manage to add mobbile data toggle using this method? I'm on Sprint N920P. Thanks in advance:)

Hey

I recently rooted my s6, and flashed the xtrestolite rom. Im currently having some issues trying to flash xposed. I followed wanam's tutorial on flashing xposed(flashing oldboot and newboot via odin), but after flashing the newboot, my phone keeps getting stuck on the samsung logo bootscreen. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
There's no need to flash oldboot&newboot anymore. This TWRP is working with the M bootloader;

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Saw the google live cases (not great imho, think your corner drugstore might be able to create something similar.) BUT I did notice it adds a cool function that launches your favorite, or most used app, with your fingerprint. Looking around but havent found any apps/ mods that do this. Is there currently a way to launch apps with the fingerprint scanner? Thinking this would be good for the camera...

[General Questions and Answers] BaronKrause:
I use Titanium backup to do app backups of a handful of games, a few installed through the play store on my main account, a few installed from a secondary Japanese account to access the Japanese store, 1-2 Amazon underground installed games and a few using the Qoo store app.

When it comes time to restore these backups onto a new phone (or same phone due to a OS upgrade requiring a wipe) should I just choose to restore the apps+data, or reinstall the apps from their respective storefronts first then go into titanium backup and just choose to restore those specific apps data?

Will titanium backup restore the correct market links for everything? Is this even a concern anymore or are the links server side, and as long as you have the correct app id's installed the respective stores will see them as installed and able to receive updates?

Thanks!
[Android General] madsam106:
So, once we have done this how do we root?
[Android General] angryfrommanchester:
Nice! There's no SPFlash in the rar? I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212.rar from http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/tutor-how-to-root-star-g9000-galaxy-s5-t2913488 and the VCOM / Micromax Drivers - worked perfectly, thanks! :)
[Android General] androrooter:
Hi. Once this is flashed root can be done with kingroot or follow the thread i have linked too for the pixi 3 4. Kirito9s thread he has full instructions for everything.
[Android General] androrooter:
Hi. I will update file but yes..you got the right spflash tool. Glad i helped.

Head over too kirito9's thread and get the latest root twrp cuatom roms and more for the pixi 3 4
[Android General] gendi:
Kingroot wouldn't work for me (just caused a bootloop and had to start again). http://xdaforums.com/android/genera...4-official-t3193624/post65706654#post65706654 did the job, but as mentioned in the thread, I had to use "SP Flash Tool MOD (Gets rid of most errors)" from the first post of the thread.
[Android General] angryfrommanchester:
I used kingroot then flashed the recovery with flashify from the app store before rebooting.
[Android General] gendi:
For me, kingroot forced a reboot... guess you got lucky, but the other method above worked for me :)

Cheers
[Android General] angryfrommanchester:
Wasn't sure if it was rebooting or crashing for me tbh so disabled internet to stop it running updates while kingroot was working.
[Android General] androrooter:
Hi. Kingroot works...if it reboots just start the app again when phone starts and you will see it carries on doing the root from the % it was at when it restarted phone.
[Android General] gendi:
So, on to my next issue...

The "dirty" flash seems to be changing the built in MAC address for WiFi and BT to 3c:cb:7c:3f:cd:a6 and :a5 repetitively. Any idea where this is being set? I still have the original MACs, but I don't know if I can edit anything to change them back permanently?
[Android General] gendi:
I ended up editing /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI and then setting to read-only and it seems to have worked... now whether I should do that... who knows!
[Android General] androrooter:
Hi. Im not sure tbh. The mac address' may change but I've not noticed any faults with it being changed. Wifi and bluetooth work on my flash as expected.
[Android General] gendi:
The problems come when you have more than one on the same network.
[Android General] Menroid:
Nice!

Ehm nice to see an less hectic Guide for the Smart First! I made an Quick entry and exit when i found Kirito9's Thread :cool:

Keep up the good work & see ya around!

Ps. you can take my Thread link down, because there are more stable ways to do all that.

I will link your Thread via mine so people can be safer! :cowboy:
[Android General] androrooter:
Hey Menroid, Glad I could help, your post helped but like we agree it is a little hit and miss, i got root but then it unroots on reboot. I will take link down for your thread and you link mine as yours still gets the hits and results at top on search sites like google, etc.

Hi,

I flashed the memory using SP Flash Tool, and the green tick appeared so I guess it worked ok.

I then went to flash the preloader and I get the following error:

"4032 – BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail"

Here's a screenshot:

(swap the xx for tt)

The phone will not turn on or respond to anything, please help, thanks

EDIT: I've got the original firmware backed up, I tried to restore that using SP Flash and I get the same error, is there any way around this error?
[Android General] jxtan11:
suggest new vf695 do not use this way, my new vf695 use this one and dead, same message.

"4032 – BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail"

i try many ways but not recovery. only i can do, just use it as a hardware spare part.
[Android General] HypnoT0AD:
I managed to fix mine, restored from the Backup I created in SP flash tool. It's not rooted but at least it's working. ;)

If you want to fix your device try restoring your backup. :)

I had to flash from another PC in the end, SP flash can be rather insonsistent.
[Android General] jxtan11:
thank for reply my one, i try recovery it use two different pc, two different system(win7, win8), and a whole days, but still error, so i give it up. maybe i will try it again two or three day later.

[Android General] XDA_h3n:
So I went out and got this cheap phone just to see how it performs

I decided to follow your instructions to flash the Alcatel Pixi 3 rom using SPFLASH, and I've bricked the phone, everytime I try to flash anything the usb connects and disconnects in COM3 mode.

I have no clue what to do with this now...

On the Alcatel tool it just mentions port communication failure or something similar to it not being able to communicate. Now on the SP Flash Tool I am getting that dram error :rolleyes:

Update

Nevermind, I fixed it now.

I installed the newer SP Flash Tool https://androiddatahost.com/tools/sp-flash-tool-windows-v5-1620 and then flashed a unbrick image I found on gsmforums (this still didn't boot the phone, it was a package with most of the image files but system) and then used that alcatel tool to download the software for the 4013 and it's booted up :laugh:
[Android General] XDA_h3n:
Um. I have a white screen, I do hear the boot animation sound.

I don't even know what's wrong with this phone anymore :crying::crying:

any ideas?

Nevermind, I guess Vodafone did a newer variant anyhow... I've got it replaced and got the First 7 instead for the same price...

Aha. Now that I've got the first 7, I eventually found the firmware for the first 6. If anybody wants it for future unbricks, it's here: https://www.4shared.com/rar/-a3dx0WOce/MT6572_Vodafone_VF695_factory_.html

bootup in loop

Hey guys,

I took out my Vodafone v695 and after attemting the solution (three times) in the first post, now my phone is in constant boot loop, using the Alcatel Pixie 3 4 bootup screen and animations.

Would anyone recommend / suggestion what options I have. What can I do to make it a success & have Pixie 3 4 working on my phone?

Thanks,
[Android General] Khoury39:
I have the same problem. I think I just bricked my phone :(((( please help!
[Android General] kayote:
I do not think its bricked, atleast I hope it isn't. Mine is still on my bed side waiting to be resolved.

I'll create a new thread seeking help with this. Hopefully someone will answer.:good:
[Android General] kayote:
Resolved!

Androrooter's first thread is actually just right, its a few steps that I had missed.

Once you get stuck on the boot loop, you have to use the Alcatel Mobile Upgrade software in windows. It will take a while to download the firmware & update, but once that is done, its working just dandy! :)

Thanks again mod!

- Install Drivers!!

- Download and unpack rom zip

- Start SPFlash Tool, select scatter-loading, load scatter file from rom folder

- Go to drop-down menu "Window", select "Write Memory", new tab appears

- Go to new tab, "Open Raw Data", open ROM_0 File, Select under "Memory setting" EMMC

- Begin address : 0x0000000000000000 , Container Length : 0x77500000

- Press "Write memory", connect powered off phone to cable, remember.....to flash with spflash tool.....take battery out and plug phone to pc via usb...flashing on this device is done without the battery in the phone....wait to finish

- After done, reconnect battery, check if phone power on

Well after put the battery back in the phone does not turn it self on so:

- If not, return to "Download" Tab, and flash just preloader

**how do flash the preloader?

[LG G5 Accessories] CorruptProfile:
I was talked into purchasing this case by a Sprint employee since I could do a bundle where instead of paying a $30 activation I would just pay for a $50 bundle that would waive the activation fee and I would get a case as well as tempered glass with this deal. Well, the case came in a week ago and I would have to say it does feel great in the hand and doesn't make the phone unbearable to hold but it is not a good case what so ever. I would never recommend this case it was so rushed for the phone it isn't even funny. Due to the fact that the volume rocker on the G5 is one button and not two causes a lot of problems with this case. You have to be extremely careful on where you press while using this case when changing the volume. If you press the button two high it will freak the volume key out and start to turn the volume up and down randomly due to it not being balanced on the volume key. I thought I could deal with this and just be careful while using the case then it came to trying to take a screenshot. Now in general you shouldn't have such a problem with a case in the first place but trying to take a screenshot with this case on is next to impossible. In the end I took the case off and will probably leave my phone naked since I never really wanted a case in the first place. I am unsure if this will be a normal hardware problem with this phone but I would suggest trying the case on your phone before purchasing it so you can see if the same problem arises with any other cases.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] saeedashifahmed:
Here is how to root Xiaomi MI 4i on MIUI 6 / MIUI 7 Lollipop update. The best part is, you don’t have to install a custom kernel just to gain root access on your mobile. We will be using a latest release of SuperSU for rooting this mobile. You can now root MIUI6 / MIUI 7 on Xiaomi MI 4i without using PC using the tutorial below. All you need to do is to download some files which I will mention below.

NOTE: This will only work on MIUI Chinese Developer ROM. Make sure you have installed it OR get MIUI 7 Chinese devloper ROM from here .

This Root allows you to explore system apps and even modify them to your specific need. This will help you to get ported features by developers on your phone and even give you the opportunity to modify yourself. Running low on space? You can delete unnecessary system apps and gather up some useful space all with rooting your phone. This could be useful for budget Android phones that don’t come with a lot of internal storage.

Step by Step Instructions :

Step 1 : First of all you need to download and install an App from Google Play Store which is popularly known as Flashify. (Get it from here!)

NOTE: Give Root access to Flashify App using default Security App on MIUI 6/7 ROM.

Step 2 : Download TWRP and SuperSU Zip file in your mobile from here :

Mod edit: links removed (not actual download links).

Step 3 : Extract the TWRP 2.8.7.0 zip file in your mobile using file manager like ES File Manager.

NOTE: Do not extract SuperSu Zip. (It is Flashable)

Step 4 : Now Open Flashify App that you have downloaded in Step 1

Step 5 : Select Flash Image file and Choose twrp-2.8.7.0-ferrari.img file and Flash it. Now Reboot your device and you are almost done.

Step 6 : Switch off your device again and press Volume Down + Power Button simultaneously. Now you will be in TWRP Recovery Mode.

Step 7 : Tab on Install and navigate to SuperSU Zip file. Just flash it by swiping below and you are now completely done. Just Reboot your device.

That’s it! Your Xiaomi MI 4i is now rooted on Android 5.0.2 official software. Check the SuperSU app in your MIUI home. Also, verify with Root Checker App to confirm.
