Hi,

I read the thread and I have a question. If you used LG Bridge instead of OTA can you use the method in that thread to obtain root or am I still barked?

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementio:
Yup, but only for the time being
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
No. If you go ota or LG Bdridge, you are stuck until root is acheived. If you go the way of Eliminator74's version, you will have the official update with root. LG

Bridge and OTA = official MM without root and custom recovery.

Eliminator74's Rom = official MM with root and custom recovery.

Word of warning, no matter what route you go for the update, you cannot go back to lollipop. Trying to go back to lollipop will result in a bricked phone.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaifight-R:
So just bought a new (or what's supposed to be new) E5823 Z5C from eBay.

Opened it last night to find that everything was in Chinese. (It didn't do the usual Google setup prompt)

Should I be worried? lol

It also came with an app called AAStocks.

(Of which had Chinese characters in the logo when launching)

Do Z5 Compacts usually come with this app?

I've since factory reset, and changed to English, and it seems to be an authentic phone (Do they even make knockoffs?) , but that AAStocks app is still there. (It seems to be deletable though.)

Probably going to flash with another ROM anyways if I keep it, but kind of curious what everyone's thoughts are or recommendations on what to do. It's on 5.1.1 at the moment.

Thanks!

Edit: Also, has anyone ever had little cosmetic defects when buying these phones? Also found a tiny little imperfection in the bezel. Makes me wonder if this thing wasn't briefly used and resealed or something... :eek:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altercation:
I ordered mine from Amazon and it came from Taiwan. They get resold from all over, but the HW is all the same so you should be fine as long as it's in good condition.

Sounds like it was used however. It definitely should have gone through the setup prompt. You can "reset to factory" to be sure.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaifight-R:
Thanks for the response. :)

By the way, does anyone know how I can find which region firmware it's running or where it came from originally?

I went and found my Customization Version, but I couldn't find any information on what particular region it was when I searched both on this forum and Google.

1298-7299_R9B is the number. (Couldn't find any info anywhere)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaifight-R:

It's a ZTE Blade G Lux lock by the Portuguese company MEO. My friends need's to unlock because he will buy another SIM from other operator.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqbirvin:
For clarity sake here is what im trying to do.

take camera folder that has camera.apk in it with camera.odex in the arm64 folder and move it into my system/priv-app/ that should hypothetically install it as a system app after a reboot.

Im doing this on a nexus 6p with android N preview 2 and the only file explorer that mounts the system as R/W is FX File Explorer (While in booted system; i have full control via TWRP though)

I do reboot because i know 5.x+ requires reboots between system changes.

I have done this via FX and is stays there even after reboots. Ive done this via TWRP and stays after reboot.

my issue is that after a reboot, the camera app does not show in the system. Its not is the app list in settings and i cant find any instance of the android system recognizing it.

I have this issue no matter what the app is unless i install the app as a non-system app first then manually create its folder system in system/priv-app/ and copy the apk to its newly created folder then uninstall the non-system app version and reboot. But i cannont do that with every app. Some have to be system apps from the beginning or they refuse to install (as expected)

Any help on this will be hugely appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Lemicb:
Hi, i've been trying for a wile to recover all data from a Galaxy S4 with touchscreen broken to a new Galaxy S5 Neo. I've been able to recover most informations form my S4 with samsung Kies 3 and the new samsung Smart Swich (contacts, sms...). But i haven't been able to recover games and programs on S4, losing all progressions.

In the past, i've used Helium that worked perfectly (saving game and recovering in a new phone with all progression) but since i've only have access to the phone by the computer, i can't confirm anythings on the screen (all softwares needs autorisation except samsung ones). I've tried software to clone the screen in windows and it didn't work.

I've tried drag an drop in windows 10 and didn't work. I don't find the program and the data. I don't understand the structure of android and i think i don't see everythings.

I've been playing to some games for years and i want to keep the levels in the game.

Can you help?

Thanks

[Nokia Lumia 800] korazzone:
Hello everyone!

Since week I've been desperately trying to get data - photos - back from my wp7 (nokia lumia 800) - from internal memory storage. The data was erased by Zune - with 'erase the Phone content'. After this acccident the phone's data hasn't been yet overrided. The data theoretically should be into device. This Nokia hasn't got UMS - USB Mass Storage mode.

My question is if there is hope to recover data? I've visited a lot of forums and I've tried the following steps:

A. Under Windows:

1. I installed MTPdrive and its equivalent PTPDrive. These programs didn't see my phone after connect it by USB.

2. I modified windows registry keys by regedit - Nokia Lumia 800 switched on MTP in 'My Computer'. It is appeared but it isn't by any recover data programs.

B. Under Linux - Ubuntu:

1. I attempt to recover photos by Foremost tool. I used mtp-tools and mtpfs and then mount device by command mount -a. I see my Nokia Lumia 800 and I have access to files at device. Unfortunatelly Foremost can't read the phone and didn't recover anything.

2. I read that mtp is protocol and it is too high level to manipulate it by any data recover tools. If I understand well there is no option for seek deleted jpgs with mtp protocol. This must be mounted as a drive /dev/... .

3. Can I mount internal memory storage like a drive but not like a mtp? Is there a way for parse mtp to drive file system or sth like this?

C. The Application installed directly on windows phone:

1. I heard about applications which can be server on the phone (Samba/WebDAV File Servers) . Then it can be mapped in Windows as a network drive (with letter) but I worried about overriding data on internal storage and I wonder if the network drive will be recognized by data recovery tools?

2. I can't believed there is no way to get access to this data on phone, I have cached data in Zune directory on my computer but in low resolution. Maybe this could help for recover photos from device?

I will be very greatful for any help.

[Xiaomi Mi 4] amiguielesl:
Hi Guys, I'm wondering if Mi4 is still worth it to get today. I have the chance on also getting the Mi4C instead. So I would like to know your experience with it and if you have had the chance to try and compare it to the Mi4C, what would you recommend me to go for.

Mi4 or Mi4C

I wonder if is it a deal breaker to get the Mi4c over the Mi4, taking in count both cameras and the processor. Considering also both with 3 gb ram, and software development such as custom roms and xiaomi official firmware.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 4] :
I did get the mi4 because:

- Better design (in my opinion)

- possibility to install w10

- more roms ( i think)

and in terms of performance and camera they are almost equal.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] P.Kosunen:
Mi4 should have better camera, F1.8 aperture size.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] mdki1996:
I am going to buy a new smartphone and the 2 alternatives are Mi4 3gb no LTE (my operator uses mainly 800mhz lte) and Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb. Prices are $160 for Mi4 and $216 for Redmi. I don´t like phablet but the newer hardware of Redmi Note 3 Pro is also interesting... Any advice? :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4] rimpy:
I'm not a pro, so my advice may be wrong, but I believe the Mi4 kernal is open so you can will get more longer term custom ROM support (eg Cyanogenmod) where as the Redmi might have better specs, but the kernel source may never be released and therefor you'll be restricted to whatever version of MIUI Xiaomi choose to releases on the device. I was faced with exactly the same choice and went with the Mi4. Infact I am about to install CM13 on it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] mdki1996:
Thanks but Xiaomi has already released the kernel source for Redmi Note 3 Pro :)

http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kernel-source-redmi-note-3-pro-t3349609
[Xiaomi Mi 4] rimpy:
Ah, I was actually thinking of the Redmi Note 2 which hasn't got a kernel release if I'm not mistaken. I would go for the Note 3 in your case. Better specs, and bigger screen is a good thing too.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] fireball0093:
Not to bump a thread a few days old, but I'd say the Mi 4. I just bought one on sale for $145 or so with shipping. I was torn as well but the hardware is what appeals to me the most. I also like how you can install Windows Phone 10 on it, I might do that for a few days just to reminisce of my WP days.

Well, after working perfectly for the last week, I decided to transfer a few movies using the included card reader. Placed my card back in, and no card to be seen. Looked at the regedit fixes from way back using Search, saw settings were exactly what was talked about.Anyhow,looks like after all this time, still no official fix for Hermes missing storage card fix. Also followed advice, to drop the card back into the unit while power on. I do see the card now, however have the classic Storage Card (with a few folders), and now Storage Card2 with most of my files. If anyone has found a more recent,100% fix, wouldn't mind finding it. Can't stand the thought of going through this each time. I suppose the best thing might be to NEVER take out your card. But sure makes a nice difference, transferring directly from PC to reader. Does anyone see any problem in simply copying all files from Storage Card2 to Storage Card as a solution? at least until I can find a permenant fix?

Hi all members of XDA,

whilst we as RC's do our very best to keep XDA as organized as possible by giving you all kind of solutions, like the Q&A/T Template project, the Index project and the Ask Away help project etc etc, these were all RC initiated projects. Although all of these projects were started with the best intentions, I realize now that we never asked what you as users wanted to keep XDA organized. By starting this thread, I want to ask you all, members of XDA, to ventilate your opinions what's missing on XDA and what you really want to accomplish your needs. I could start a poll for that, but I do not feel the need for that at this very moment. I always can start a poll after most wanted needs posted, but for now I only want to know what's living in our community and what is needed in your opinions that is missing at this very moment. Really hope that you will react on this post as much as possible, so I can see what you really need/miss . All reactions will be answered by me (or, hopefully, fellow RC's) and, based on your reactions, I will start a new thread regarding your wishes, based on the most mentioned issue. If there are more important issues, there will be started of course more threads to cope with these "issues".

[About XDA developers] Art Vanderlay:
Hi Kuzibri, nice initiative.

This is only minor but every time I log in I have to scroll right down to the bottom to change the theme to XDA 2013.

Does anyone else find this annoying? I'd rather the option be up top somewhere.

Secondly I think the q&a templates a good idea but no one makes them anymore. The ones that we do have get used and divert thousands of questions from dev threads. The only reason the project died is because the admins implemented an auto generated q&a bot thread to all threads in development sections. Meaning that when someone with less than 10 posts replied to a dev thread, his post got moved to a newly created q&a thread with no OP. That was a bad idea IMO, it led to a lot of useless threads being auto generated. Only humans should create threads.

But since devdb have a q&a thread link, maybe we should utilise it again and make it useful for everyone by actually opening and maintaining these q&a threads with faq's and stuff.
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi Art,

Which XDA theme are you using now? I use XDA 2013 beta - 1024.

Regarding the q&a bot threads, I already had many discussions with higher ranked people, like [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION], regarding the fact that these bot's had no OP, but never got a satisfied answer, also not what you are suggesting now, so IMHO this is a dead end street, unfortunately. I fully agree with you that only humans can start a thread, but I'm afraid that we cannot change that anymore on the bot threads. Although well intended in the beginning, they became indeed a real disaster, which led to the unfortunate end/death of real the Q&A/T Template project, of which I still think that it's a very important addition to XDA. :crying:

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] Art Vanderlay:

About the q&a bot threads, what we can do is take ownership of the existing ones and add an OP and other important details to make them worthwhile.

If a human made q&a thread exists for a ROM then maybe the admins can bring back the feature that moves the under 10 posters there whenever they reply to dev thread.

Or at least give devs that option if they want it.

Only restriction IMO is the willingness of other RC's help to restart this project again. Will you join Art and me? IMO this is the only way to prove that it was not a good idea by XDA to start these bot threads with no personal OP.
