sitrep

-no rom/os on phone

-computers(multiple) wont find my phone

-since nexus 5 no sd card slot or otg

-twrp working

-was running cm13

main problem. i wanted to install a new rom on my phone so i deleted the old one, so i could put the new one on. then i realised i did not have a new rom on my phone. so i went to connect is to my computer and it could not find it. so now i have a phone that can boot into twrp and nothing else. i did a full wipe of the system.(every single option available in the twrp options)

how do i get my phone back since i cant put a new rom on my phone since i just cant drag a file on it from my computer. since there is no other way i can put files on my phone. it is not because of lack of drivers. since it used to work just fine. i tried multiple computers to be sure. all of which in the past i could access my phone on.

Hello,

Recently I bought Elephone M2 smartphone and in Elephonestore it's said that this device support OTG cable. I tried 2 different cables but it won't work. So it means that this device don't work with OTG or I just need to buy special cable? If it's problem with cable maybe any recommendations what to buy?

I am on Android M right now and sometimes I have some kind of a weird random reboot on my phone... My phone is NOT rooted but the crazy thing is: it is like a soft reboot because after the rebooting process -> apps are still open (atleast in the recently opened apps tab) ... Does somebody have a solution or does somebody have the same problem? Is it a software problem? Thx in regards![emoji16]
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
The recent thing is just how it works in L up afaik, it just displays apps open even through a powercycle. You mainly need to try and narrow it down and figure out what the realm of the cause may be, then get a logcat, no root needed just setup adb.

I bought a 510 in Germany from eBay

after setting everything it worked normal, but after inserting SIM it prompted to install carrier settings, after this it cleared all apps i had installed and launched a "Demo" app. i cant get rid of it, not freezable, not uninstallable. hardreset does not help, it starts again after completing the initial setup.

Is this a different firmware? a way to get the official one without loosing warranty?

Or better dump it back to the retailer asap and/or claim money back from PayPal?

Im in japan. my phone doesn't show ota for marshmallow, only for Sony bloatware. and pc companion on Mac says yes there is an update available... But then after about ten seconds the dialog box is replaced saying that I am running latest version available (though i have 5).

Same results when I tried VPN.

My phone is unlocked as originally purchased. I have a data sim.

Does it refuse because I have only 500mb on internal? There is no error message-it just changes its mind.

Any ideas? Just wait?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
There is actually a mac version of Flashtool, but maybe not xpirifirm so you might have to find a pre-made FTF.

I guess you don't have root?

Update manually with Flashtool? Lots of guides available. Might not even have to make your own FTF file, but I recommend doing so if you can as then you know what is in it.

Essentially this is the same as using Sony software to do it, but you have more manual options. Download the files with xpirifirm, decrypt them with flashtool (not as complicated as it sounds), then it will make an ftf file for you which is the bit that contains all the system for the phone / update, then follow instructions to flash it onto the phone.

I'll look for a decent guide link.

My top tip is to make sure the TA partition stuff is excluded when you select what components to add to the ftf file to be safe, but flashtool should exclude this by default. And to make sure you download the software for your exact device so double check it when you choose :)

It really isn't as overwhelming as it may seem when you first look at it.

How to make the ftf: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/

How to flash it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697277

(Just ignore the parts telling you to download anything in the flashing guide as you got it from the "how to make" and obviously just replace that phone and firmware with your own)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnormal:
Thanks. I have rooted and flashed a couple other phones but not Sony. I guess I would do that if it came down to it, but it shouldn't be necessary. With the z3 don't see the payoff for the risk. I can live with the bloatware.

More to the point this update should just work! Why isn't it?

If I use PC companion doesn't that get the update straight from Sony regardless of carrier? (I have no carrier, just a 3 month data sim)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
If I helped hit thanks ;)

Something along the way is causing the problem. Tried reinstalling PC companion?

I say manual flash because that eliminates the variable that it's your phone causing the problem and also gets you updated as you wanted soooooo two birds with one stone :p

If you can't so it by PC I hope the phone eventually sorts itself out :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlvinZahran98:
Did you use xperia companion? If you used that, then there might be no update available yet for your phone, because xperia companion have a bug that shows an update is available, but there really is no update available.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnormal:
Yes I'm using xperia companion. I guess I'm experiencing that bug you mention.

How can I establish if an update is available when I have no carrier? If I have no carrier then is it still dependant on the country I'm in? I know others have received the update for d6653 in other countries.

I got an intriguing SMS today from my provider Three UK:

"4G Super-Voice is now available for your phone. The latest software update will give you better indoor coverage in London. Go to bit.ly/4GSuper OptOut@My3"

The link advises to use the phone settings -> software update.

So I've got a H815, but it's unbranded EUR-XX not bought from Three UK, so my update doesn't find anything (as expected). And I don't have a Three-native IMEI to check the usual sources.

Has anyone else got this message, or updated? Which version is this - is it really new or is it just a reannouncement of an old release?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G Gabi:
Hi,

Sony Xperia z2 D6503.

Bootloader: Unlocked.

Root: NOT rooted.

The device has a microphone issue. When talking on headset (not speaker) the other side hardly hears a word / does not hear at all. When phone is supported by the shoulder, the other side says the voice is "broken" (if he manages to hear).

This issue was for quite some time, only now the phone came to me. It is a phone who the owner purchased as a "Grade A used phone". The phone has no warranty.

The past few month, the phone had 23.1.A.0.726 (UK version).

Yestorday:

I've flashed via "emma tool" 23.1.A.1.28 - Microphone issue is still there.

I've flashed via "FlashTool" 23.4.A.1.264 (UK version) - Microphone issue is still there.

[Yes, Iv'e tried the "Noice Cancelling Suppression" option]

I am not sure how to root the phone because bootlader is unlocked. There is no data on the phone, so I don't care for any data loss.

I still hope there will be a way to solve the issue via software like suggested in this thread or here.

Or, a different solution, to flash eXistenZ ROM, mentioned here.

The day-today user os the phone is a ~24 old female. She is a simple user. Calls, tests, plays a few games, IM etc. Nothing special. She loves the battery life and the camera of the device. I believe that she does not really care if the Android version is 4.2 / 4.4 / 5.0.x / 5.1 / 6.x. As long as the device will work properly, she'll be grateful.

I am open to any idea, hopefully, will not need to by a replacement part (I will disassemble the phone myself, but, need to make sure what part I should purchase).

I am aware I am quite a newbie in the Android world. I have flashed many ROOMs on different devices. Used several times flashtool / adb commands (via a PC). But, I have a lot to learn and know I'll have a learning curve with the Xperia Z2.

I would love any input and guidance on how to root the phone. I don't care to downgrade to any version if it is necessary. The eXistenZ ROM is 4.4.x KitKat based on Stock 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.0.167.

How does one downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4? Should I flash the stock *.ftf 4.4 via FlashTool?

Hope the post is clear. Sorry for my English....

Thanks!

Have you tried setting microphone gain to high? Otherwise it's a hardware issue, or your microphone is blocked with dirt...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G Gabi:
Tnx for your reply.

Where do I change the microphone gain? Tried googling it, but, no success.

The past few hours, I finally managed to flash eXistenZ ROM (after soft bricking the phone and other fun stuff).

The phone is rooted now (with eXistenZ ROM).

The past few days I googled and googled. Read a lot, but... still stuck :/

The mic issue seems to be a little bit better, but, far from ideal.

I have no idea what are the optimized settings with this ROM.

If any member has this ROM due to the mic issue, I would love some advice.

Feeling like I'm grasping at straws.

~~~~~

As for hardware issue -

1. My understanding is that the mic is located on the bottom-base of the phone (not under the screen).

2. What do you mean by dirt? should I disassemble the phone and clean it out? (I don't care to open it myself. I have a history of replacing phone parts. I'm not a professional, but, find my way... [a few iPhones, Nexus 5, a few Samsung devices and more).

3. If I'll need to replace the microphone, I'll purchase the part from AliExpress (I don't live in Europe or North America). I am not sure if this part or maybe this.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] stevessvt:
It's impossible without an unlocked bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Binary100100:
We can't modify ANYTHING on the phone beyond stock.

We need an unlocked bootloader and possibly a custom kernel to make a custom rom.

Unlocked bootloader isn't going to happen unless an exploit can be discovered. Even though we might possibly have root, that doesn't mean that we can yet have a custom rom. After root is achieved (which is currently in progress) we still need to be able to flash a custom rom and kernel all without the dm-verity which is a security measure used to verify that no changes have been made. If any are detected then we get bootloops and/or knox is tripped which will mean no more Samsung Pay. We still have a very long way to go.

As the warranty period was over i had to spend money on it for micromax service to repair it. But after a month again its software got corrupt so again had to get it repaired. Then after 15-20 days again its software got corrupt. This time i thought it would be hardware issue but no this time again it was the software problem. Now please give me a solution what could be the problem because i don't wanna spend money again on installing new software.

For Mobile Devices with Android v4+

I myself have tried over 50 apps for backing up Bookmarks and yet to bump into a great or even a good one

that does what its intended to do without screwing up other things..

People right now are screaming for a great Bookmarks App that lets them sync to all their chrome browsers,

as well as be able to back up all their bookmarks into a nice small package file that they can have it auto upload to

a cloud storage of their choice such as for example Google Drive..

And in order for it to be deleted it would require the user to input their password for that file 3 times..

making sure thats the file the user wants to delete.

Bookmarks are extremely important to people. And the last thing they need is having their mobile devices break,

and not being able to have a backup to their bookmarks.

I lately as of 05-25-2016 have seen so many junk app's that claim something and does not do what they claim to do.

either the app is for very older Android OSs or Devices or, their services are broken because no one maintains it anymore.

or the app has not been updated since 2002.....

Google company really needs to create a really nice Bookmarks app because people right now are in need of it.

Someone please create a 2016 Bookmarks APP with great UI Design for mobile phone & devices.......

Hello!

I just bought an MHL Cable for my GS5 (DeLOCK 83296) and I plugged it into the MHL port of my Toshiba Smart TV: apart from start charging the phone, nothing happens.

I also tried plugging the cable to my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but the result is the same.

I tried plugging the cable to other standard HDMI ports, no signal.

Is there anything I have to do to make this work? Is the cable faulty? Could MHL version be a problem?

Thanks for your help!

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SB50:
That MHL cable uses 5 pin MHL. The S3 and newer Galaxy phones use 11 pin MHL cables. You need either a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter, or a different MHL cable.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Aus-Guru:
The MHL cable has a 5 pin connection, standard on all other phones. You will find the S5 is 11pin so you will need an adaptor 5-11 pin. Easily found on eBay, $2.00

Hi!

So basically I have been having issues with random freezing and rebooting.

I have BlissPop from This post, and the screen sometimes just freezes, and then reboots.

It is not a ROM-specific issue, because I have tried CyanogenMod, SlimLP, and LiquidSmooth, and they all had this issue.

Maybe a hardware problem!

Thanks in advance.
[Hardware Hacking General] S1luX:
Hey everyone, i searched for this and apparently no one has "discovered" this until now.

And i'm surprised because it's really simple.

I was randomly trying to boot kali Nethunter on my I9300 (even tho it's not a supported device), And i was trying to fix the wellknown "terminal not found" bug after i downloaded the FULL chroot.

After that i went in my terminal and typed:

-Su

-bootkali

Since Nethunter still wasn't working, i started typing random commands in the terminal, only for fun, until i typed "Msfconsole".

After that BOOOM.

Metasploit booted up.

I was really surprised, and i tried with things you do in Metasploit, Like exploiting and other stuff..

And it worked!

So, without even knowing, i just " bypassed" the fact that Nethunter wasn't working.

Extra:

You can also download other utilities with basic commands, such as "sudo apt-get install".

SO GUYS, EVEN THO NETHUNTER IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE, YOU CAN STILL USE THE MOST IMPORTANT UTILITIES IN KALI LINUX, HAVE FUN ;)

KNOWN ISSUES:

Well, i do not expect aircrack to work properly since every device has its own WiFi chipset.
[Hardware Hacking General] S1luX:
[Update] exploits work!

IMPORTANT:

Instead of "msfpayload" use "msfvenom -p".
[Hardware Hacking General] DizKiller:
I would love to see development on this subject.
[Hardware Hacking General] S1luX:
Actually i think it will work as well..

In fact since my GT i9300 was not a supported device by Nethunter, i simply flashed the nexus 5 marshmallow build since it is of course a pure android ROM and since i had cyanogenmod 13..
