[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr5321:
Hi guys, im sorry if it sounds weird or similar with another thread(this is the one i read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3032115), but i still want to ask a few question about xperia z2 and oneplus one.

Here is the condition :

1. I would like to buy a 2nd hand xperia z2 or opo(the price here in my country differs a bit)

2. Im a bit confused about which one is better

3. In terms of ROM, whic one is better?(what im sure is that opo has a great community because of their stock os, CM, and some other things, but i dont know about z2, which i hope is as good or even better than opo)

4. Hardware section of z2 and opo is similar

5. If i do make up my mind to buy 2ndhand z2, what should i check(i know im asking a lot, but if you give me a detailed answer, id be very very happy:D)

6. Aside from rom availability, hardware, and pricing perspective, which one is better

Thank you guys and well, im sorry for asking a lot

As per the title.. oneplus one is better for the custom rom..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
When buying them consider screen size, memory card expansion (one+ shoes to have it right?) and the age of the phone, as battery needs to be changed probably after 2 years.

Anyway, when buying z2 you may perform a service menu test via a special code.

However, I would focus on the waterproofness (barometer test). If it's waterproof then it most probably wasn't disassembled. You can also check if the back cover is original, although it's a bit hard. The silver ring around the camera should be an actual ring, not just a paint, so you should feel some gap with your fingernail.

2nd thing is the headphones jack. I had a lot of problems with that. Check if it works without any problems.

And about rom development. Yeah, it's probably better in one+, but with z2 you also have roms that aren't only based on cm. + nice camera apk and those noise cancelling headphones.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
I bought my z2 second hand 2 odd months ago. The magnetic port wasn't working as I'm guessing someone had forced the connector the wrong way and shorted the circuit. But also if they replaced the glass back with a cheap Chinese one you'll notice the flash isn't lined up properly and flash pictures will look awful. I've tried 2 different backs and both have the same problem.

Though I do love my z2 running stock lollipop. Not impressed with the marshmallow update or the buggy CM builds, which will most likely be better on one+ as it's based on CM.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] ukine:
I've been googling for a couple hours and every different guide uses different apps, files, bootloaders, kernels... I know for certain that some of these will brick it from past experience. I don't know what else to do. Does installing TWRP enable USB OTG or do I need TrapKernel from some thread I found? Should Odin recognize the phone in "adb download" mode with the Samsung drivers installed on Windows 7? It's not. Is "adb download" the way to install TWRP, the kernel, or some kind of order or combination of one or both? Is TrapKernel or TWRP confirmed working with USB OTG on this model? :confused:

I've been googling two hours and haven't gotten anywhere. Most of what I found about enabling USB OTG is written very badly. :(

Thanks for your help!

I don't mean to sound like a noob. But I've been wondering for awhile now. Why won't Samsung stock message app send pics when connected to WiFi. I always have to disconnect WiFi to send and get pics but not from most 3rd party apps. Is this just me cause I'm using GSM sim? But I think I had this problem with another Samsung phone. If someone could give me some insight that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. But I was just being inquisitive and wondering why the stock app behaves that way.

All other phones I've had send mms whether WiFi is on or not. And like I stated already, 3rd party apps work as they should. Is it a Samsung thing or sprint?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Datatrover:
So a quick backstory on my S7 edge experience. This is my second go around with the S7 edge as the first was plagued with bad battery life and sluggish if not defective overall experience. Two days ago I decided to jump my S6 edge + (great phone) for a S7 edge ....again. Wanted to see if something was different as all the rave reviews could not be wrong and maybe I just got a lemon. Well low and behold I again started to experience strange issues with the S7 edge such as:

⏺Bad battery life ( less than half a day with moderate use)

⏺Strange notification bar message (call forwarding for video calls active)

⏺Sluggish performance

What was causing this Strange behavior?.....

Turns out it was most likely caused by a bad car charger which overheated the charging circuit or some aspect of the phone. Must have happened the first time and never realized but the second time I put two and two together. Lesson learned her is if you are not seeing any increase in battery percentage while rapid charging and the phone is getting hot ...you may have damaged the phone and have a bad charger. Currently this is the 3rd S7edge and it is rapid charging cool to the touch.

Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obi-Wan-YJ:
I recently installed a custom 6.0.1 ROM (CM13-based Mokee, which is rooted) on my old Galaxy Note 2. I find that I'm really missing some of the Samsung apps (like their email, camera & locker) for which I can't find acceptable alternatives in the Google Play store. Is there a way to get access to the Samsung Galaxy Apps store from my custom ROM so that I can install some of the apps that I used to have before my (ahem) "upgrade?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dopamin3:
AFAIK no, there is no way to get the proprietary apps from stock Touchwiz over to a CM/AOSP based ROM, especially considering you would be using apps from Kitkat Touchwiz on CM/AOSP Marshmallow. They just have too many dependencies baked into the stock ROM other than just having the APK. The only thing you could try: go back to rooted OH3, Titanium Backup (or similar) the apps you desire, then when you go back to Mokee try to restore them. With 95% certainty I would say they won't work. If you heavily rely on the touchwiz apps then go back to OH3, root it, put on xposed framework and Wanam xposed and you will have a decent amount of customization while retaining the stock apps.

So i have today attemped to root my Galaxy S5. Up until now its been going fine

I used a method from a file called OK3 i found here.

The issue i'm having now is:

it shows that in SuperSu i have root.

Root checker shows that my root is succesfull and running

When i run safestrap and boot into recovery it boots in and out just fine into that recovery

The second i go to do a normal recovery however or access anything related to that it won't let me and shows i need to troubleshoot with Software Repair.

What i'm trying to do is flash a custom recovery and install cyanagen mod 13.

I cant seem to do so using safestrap it keeps giving me errors as well saying there are errors in :e

So can anyone please help me in any way to fix this? if my phone even has to go to regular recovery i have to turn it off, take out the battery, and run it in charge mode than turn it on for it to boot.

I have ODIN but cant even find the stock firmware to start over.

I should also mention the error i get from the recovery error is that there isnt a recovery mode? and there is an img failure?

Hey there mate.. The sd card method is all you got.. How ever there is another method called GTAG but forget that.... And use the sd card method... Requirments are as follows :

1.bricked samsung galaxy s5

2.recovery image file for ur current android version

3. Micro sd card 16gb or 32 gb but 32gb is more reliable.....

The thing is if your phone cant find a boot sequence on the primary storage it moves to the secondary (the micro sd)

4.download win 32 disk imager to write the recovery image file to the sd and boot.. Then if it works shut down and boot to download mode and flash an official firmware of samsung android 6.0 is released for s5.. Download that from sam mobile

REMEMBER DONOT TAKE OUT THE SD CARD IN THE WHOLE PROCESS.. To putting back ur sd card as before use sd formatter... Any further questions contact me :)

Remember that if it is a hardware limitation then there's nothing else software can do, like flashing a ROM other than the ones compatible for your variant. It will not enable Band 40 on your phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Nope, not 'identical' or they would both be called G900F

Different models have different bootloaders, at the very minimum, meaning you can never flash a 100% untouched stock ROM for a different model

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpkumaran:
Yup. Learned that the hard way. Now, I`m thinking if the Bad flash was mainly due to differences in PIT file rather than the hardware differences.

2. Can I root with locked Bootloader? And flash TWRP and ROMs?

No, there is no way to root or unlock your bootloader if it reads 'No' on 'bootloader unlock allowed?'

I would RMA the device if it's not unlockable.

Unless u don't want to modify anything ever.

Did u got it branded from your network provider?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwuk:
RMA means what, return? I got this from an individual, no way to return but to resell.

The carrier is Bell, a Canadian carrier. I don't see their logo on the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwuk:
I had lots of devices before. Most of them allow root with unlock bootloader. Sony is an exception?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
Yes it is.

On older Z series it was possible to root on stock kernel and therefore Unlocking bootloader wasn't required for rooting.

Since Z5, they implement Sony RIC and DM-VERITY, which prevents modification to system and therefore root.

To root, we need a kernel supporting root inside the boot image.

We can't flash any kernel other than stock (signed by Sony) on locked bootloader.

That's a bumm.

RMA means sending phone back and receive the money in return.

Did the seller told u it's carrierlocked phone?

Mostly on carrier locked phones there's no sticker or logo from the carrier visible on the outside.

U can try to contact Bell and explain them what's the problem. In some cases a carrier can unlock it for u. (they might charge a little fee for it)

Good luck!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyCanuck:
If you've got the Bell Z5 then you're in the same boat as myself. No way to unlock the bootloader, thus no way to root, meaning I can have ZERO fun with this device. I even paid Bell for a SIM Unlock thinking it might trigger the bootloader unlock option to change to 'Yes' Allowed, but no such luck.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwuk:
So I guess you have contacted Bell for unlocking it but no success? Even we would like to pay a fee for it?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwuk:
Thanks for sharing with me. You are very knowledgeable. I bought from a guy who bought from Bell. I doubt Bell will actually support my request. I will try to use it for a bit and resell if I cannot live without root. I have been using root devices since HTC G1.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
All phones from carriers usually have locked bootloaders, except for nexus devices. This is why you never buy from a carrier if you want custom roms.

It's worth trying, just see how they react :)

I got pretty used to root too, since my first Android a galaxy S i9000 lol

Though, when I bought this phone (my second Sony) I decided to use it without root too and in the beginning it was a bit of a struggle but later I didn't miss it at all.

I only unlocked my bootloader after a few months, just to use another kernel.

I've replaced the older xperia ringtone with the new one from xperia x.

I haven't amplified the camera sounds, also sony removed the option of muting the camera sounds from settings so I've muted the camera click sound, other camera sounds will not get affected.

You can either replace all the sound files by flashing the zip file or manually replace individual files using any file manager with root access and changing the permissions to rw-r--r--

Also providing the stock sound files if you want to revert to the originals.
