[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GuiPoM:
Hello!

I just received my new Samsung S7 (930F) and I would like to get as many app as possible restored on my new phone, with minimal amount of effort :D

I am used to titanium backup, but this app requires root. XZ is rooted, S7 is not. S7 is my work phone, provided by my company,so ... not sure if I can have it rooted. I understood that this cannot be really reverted (knox, ...) which could be an issue sooner or later.

I tried Helium, but I was not able to get it working with XZ with the desktop app, not recognized. I will do another try with backup & restore.... But if you have any advice, if I am wrong with root, etc... feel free to give me any information which could be useful to help me on this question !

Thanks for your help !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] air001:
For rooted phone don't need the desktop app for Helium. Just backup your apps to SD card move it into S7 and restore your apps after activated Helium on S7.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
I posted this over on the CM forums, but wanted to post here as well for visibility.

I have multiple (read as 30+) 1st Gen Boost Moto Gs (XT1031) and this has been a problem on every.... single.... one...

Stock OS Info

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: MSM8626BP_1032.355.66.00R

Kernel version: 3.4.0-gc6fc9e1-00001-gf3bf628

System version: 175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US

Build number: KXB20.9-1.10-1.18-1.1

Bootloader: 41.1A

Recovery: twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK_NOTHEME

I've also tested with the Stock 4.4.4 and 5.1 Soak Test OS versions, both have the same results as well.

Additionally, this happens regardless of whether GAPPS is flashed or not.

I've tried the following, and ALWAYS results in an endless boot that just constantly stays on the CM Android head boot animation unless I flash & boot to CM11 first:

(Note: A TWRP Factory Reset is performed before flashing each new ROM)

CM11 - cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-falcon.zip

Stock -> CM11 = Boots and works fine

CM12.1 - cm-12.1-20151115-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip

Stock -> CM12.1 = Endless Boot

Stock -> CM11 (without booting to OS) -> CM12.1 = Endless Boot

Stock -> CM11 (Booted once) -> CM12.1 = Boots and works fine

CM13 (all nightly versions)

Stock -> CM13 = Endless Boot

Stock -> CM11 (without booting to OS) -> CM13 = Endless boot

Stock -> CM11 (Booted once) -> CM13 = Boots and works fine

So...The only way that I can get these to boot, is if I flash CM11 AND boot into it once and THEN flash CM12.1/CM13.

What is it about the first boot of CM11 that makes CM12.1 and CM13 work? any why doesn't direct from Stock -> CM12.1/CM13 work??? Is there a Kernel or something that gets installed when CM11 boots or something?

This is driving me insane. Please help me figure this out so that I can flash directly from Stock -> CM12.1/CM13.

---

Here is an example of exactly how to reproduce this problem. From the Stock ROM, do the following:

...Device never boots, and only stays on the CM logo animation.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardobloom:
I've just finished updating from Stock 5.1 (XT1033) to CM 13

Here's what I've done

1. Updated to the latest TWRP recovery

2. Copied the latest CM 13 nightly and Gapps (Pico) to internal storage

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Performed an advanced wipe. Wiping /system, /cache and /dalvik-cache

5. Performed a Factory Reset

6. Flashed both CM 13 and Gapps

7. Reboot

Wait for a few minutes.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
Exact same steps on my XT1031, waited 6 hours, still didn't boot.

But if I flash CM11, boot to it once, then factory reset and install CM13... it will boot just fine. What magic does CM11 do that CM12.1/CM13 aren't doing?!

As a side note, the TRWP Factory Reset option wipes /system /cache and /dalvik-cache... so step #4 is redundant.... but I did it anyways.

Edit: I guess I skipped step #1 ... didn't realize that TWRP 3.0.2.0 was available for "falcon". I'll try this later tonight and see if it fixes the issue or not.

https://dl.twrp.me/falcon/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardobloom:
I followed the steps to perform a clean update from the official thread of CM 13 but when I tried to install the zip file it says that the data is incompatible and I needed to perform a factory reset. So that's why I've added that additional step so that there won't be any problems while installing CM 13. :laugh:

Okay try first with that one i.e. TWRP 3.02.0. If that doesn't work then maybe you can try this one from here :- http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621 <------- This one worked fine for me i.e twrp-3.0.0.0_2-falcon following the above steps which I've mentioned.

P.S. I'm currently on baseband 1032.3116.98.00R - Retail Asia
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
Nope. Flashed back to stock to test, updated to TWRP 3.0.2.0, attempted to flash to the latest CM13 nightly... still endless boot (waited 30min and it just stayed on the boot animation).

I'll try the recovery you mentioned later.... although, I also tried CM's own Nightly recovery... and the same thing happens with that as well.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
I tried with the recovery you mentioned, and the same thing happens.

However, the story unfolds...

Recovery log when flashing from Stock-to-CM11:

http://pastebin.com/M0EGdLwu

Recovery log when flashing from Stock-to-CM12.1:

http://pastebin.com/HaderDW2

In the Stock-to-CM12.1 log.... it doesn't appear that anything is copied! if you look at the Stock-to-CM11 log, after the "Installing zip file '/sdcard/cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-falcon.zip'" line, it has a bunch of "minzip: Extracted file" lines. Comparing that to the Stock-to-CM12.1 long, none of those such lines exist in the log! I see the CM12.1 ROM file has a "system.new.dat" file, instead of all of the files extracted in the "system" folder, like the CM11 ROM has... not sure if that is causing the problem or not.

If none of the files are getting copied, that would explain why it never boots.... but this doesn't tell me how to fix it... or why CM11 doesn't have a problem, but CM12.1 and CM13 DO have a problem.

Backup first and try to restore your phone to stock firmware using the instructions over here. ----------> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707

And choose the firmware version which is related to your phone. They will be something like this:-

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already flashed to stock (XT1031_FALCON_BOOST_5.1 in this case).

The issue is coming FROM stock to CM12.1 or CM13 that is the problem, but Stock->CM11->CM12.1/CM13 works fine.

I don't want to have to install CM11 every time just to get a bootable rom... :-\
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardobloom:
Save the recovery log while upgrading from CM11 to CM 12.1 to see what's the difference between that one which works and Stock to CM12.1/13
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twig123:
After playing with trying to flash CM13 directly for quite a long time.... I've come to the conclusions that something with the partition wipes don't actually work within the CM13 setup script, nor from Custom Recovery!

However, I found a workaround! Wiping the partitions from the Bootloader, instead of from Custom Recovery, allows a flash of CM13 to boot properly!

(The question still stands as to why CM11 doesn't have this issue, but CM12.1 and CM13 do...... but I have a workaround, so I'm not too worried about it)

I made a Windows Batch script to automate this flashing process, which I posted over on the CM Forum:

I woke up to find my new watch in what looked like Chinese writing on the screen (thought it might be updating). After cautiously rebooting the watch I found the boot screen had changed, which used to have Finow on it, now booting with an animated clip of a rotating planet earth. Should I be concerned about this strange occurance? Is this the the beginning of the machine uprising?? Has this happend to you or anyone in the XDA community? Or should I put it in a copper shielded cage??? Seriously, should I be concerned or should I flash it again? :confused:

I did have to flash my watch 2 days prior and used all the techniques found in the XDA forums to successfully restart the watch. :good::)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The newer firmware has the spinning globe like planet earth :)

sorry for my bad englisch!

because i have a big problem! my dad (over 60) has forget the pattern.

but we need the pictures from the phone (the rest is not important). we build a house and need the pictures with the pipes and the measure.

usb debugging is off

bootloader is locked

what can we do? Thanks!

Do you have TWRP installed? Boot to TWRP; and just transfer the photos to your PC, of course connect it to a usb cable.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
With a locked bootloader you are out of luck, unless he can remember the pattern.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user31085:
thanks for your answer. no custom recovery installed.

it's a big bug! i can't reset the pattern. i think google must rework. why is there not a option: forget password or anything else.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Because then if someone stole your phone they could access your data. The whole point of creating patterns/pins is to keep others out of your phone. If it could be reset then it would be pointless. The only way to reset is to have all data wiped in the process, thereby keeping others from getting it.

I understand your frustration, I would just suggest getting your dad to try some more to see if he can get it. It is really nobody's fault.

There are 2 solutions actually, one: tell your dad that if in 3-days time, he doesn't remember the password, you'll commit suicide or something like that.Two: set your device to i-am-extremely-broken mode and install Android again.

Without ADB/root you'll do nothing. If you'd have root you'll probably can dump data partition and extract data from it.

"Verification has failed. Try again" shows up every time i reboot my S6. When i press Retry it just pops up again, and when i press cancel it just pops back up next reboot of my device AFTER the lock screen.

It runs the latest XEF official firmware w/ Good Lock(latest)

I really wanna know where this comes from and how to fix it. I doubt it's an non-standard app and i'm really annoyed by it.

Same problem for me on my S7 edge. Just updated my software via Odin and then re-rooted. I'm constantly getting the window popping up like you are.

Seems to have something to do with the contacts as when I go to my profile and then try to share it I get the error every single time.

Various forums reporting on it but no fix that I've came across yet......
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andifds:
I guess it is a problem directly from GoodLock. Couple days earlier updated my device then wiped all and started like new and no verification fail message.

I repeat, the message started to appear after GoodLock installed, even if you don't activate the smart share option for SMS. If you delete/uninstall GoodLock it should stop.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChilliBo:
Hello guys,

Since ive updated my s7 edge to the latest firmware via ota, I got many problems with writing to exsdcard. Then I downloaded the whole new firmware and flashed with Odin, same result. After this I flashed back the firmware what I've had before and the problem is still there. I did run a test program and this got me an error with my cache, just read on the screenshot please..

Is there a way to fix this?

This is most likely due to the RAM. You should be sure that the bench app is out of the memory before testing. Also try androbench.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremeaptitude:
Hey guys! I had recently installed an Android 4.5 rom on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000, but I didn't really like it, so I went back to clockwork mode and restored the backup (which I am pretty sure I had saved prior to installing the rom). What happened then was that I couldn't power on my device. It literally gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy I9000 startup screen. I can however access download mode and I can access clockword mode recovery. BUT, when I try to install another update with clockword mode recovery or trying anything on cwmr for that matter (factory reset, cache reset, anything...), I get the error message: Unknown path to /sdcard and I am stuck at this. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue? Please, I need help quickly!

Hey all,

Need a new phone. I'm used to using hand-me-downs. I ran a 2011 galaxy s2 until 2015 all the way to Lollipop. When I couldn't take the lag anymore, I got a Moto G 2014 on MM.

Whatever I get, I will probably keep for awhile. I have $200-300 to spend.

Is s5 still worth a purchase? If I flash AOSP, will I be OK with performance? I don't do gaming, I just want something that works without lag and glitching.

And how's the momentum of s5 development? Is it still going strong, dwindling, etc? I like AOSP, slim-based stuff.

Hi

I'm searching for a custom ROM for my mom's gamaxy s5 mini. Touchwize is very buggy on her devices, so i'm looking for a stable ROM.

I'm not specific looking for a ROM that has a lot of features but they are always welcome.

What ROM do you guys suggest?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dev!n:
stock rom with custom kernel
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrea224:
+1

Custom roms for the S5 Mini are still on BETA stage. They have some bugs, an higher battery drain and some features are unsopported. Stock rom with a custom kernel and ROOT os the best way. Also, don't forget to format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titan1655:
What kernel do you suggest?

And how do I format data and cache partition into F2FS filesystem? And before I do that, in what filesystem are they formated originally?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrea224:
I suggest this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-kernel-t3130662

You can format the two partitions into the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery. Normally, on every phone, they are formatted into the ext4 filesystem (you can also read it before formatting)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titan1655:
Last question.

Why only format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem? And not the other partitions?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrea224:
Because only these two partitions have this possibility.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakmanhans:
Info: model SM-G800F, baseband G800FXXU1BPC4

I had the same question as TS and listened to the advice of [MENTION=7218412]Andrea224[/MENTION] by flashing the custom kernel mentioned in this thread.

I started with the stock 5.1.1 ROM.

- First I flashed the kernel using Odin3.

- Then I flashed TWRP 3.0.0 recovery using Odin3.

- Then I re-formatted \data and \cache F2FS booting in TWRP.

All went well.

When I boot in Recovery I got the question to mount read/write and the warning about not able to receive OTA updates.

When I exit Recovery I get the question to install SuperSU.

Coming from a long line of HTC devices the above questions are new to me.

What do they mean? I once did choose to install SuperSU. Is my phone rooted now? Or should I still flash the CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5 file?

Also in TW I get the questions about not having an original software installed. Is this about Knox? How can I disable this?

Concluded: Have I done all the correct steps to have a stable system?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrea224:
Now, I will explain to you how to get it work properly:

- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the latest update of the TouchWiz for your country with Odin. (If you are on CM13, into TWRP: 1- Do a backup of your data; 2- In Wipe -> Advanced Wipe select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and wipe these partitions; then select Cache and Data and format both to ext4; 3- After all, flash TWwith Odin)

- Boot your phone in download mode and flash SuperSU with CF-Auto-root.

- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the TWRP 3.0.0 with Odin.

- When you are into recovery: 1- Tick the option for never show this message on every reboot into recovery and then swipe to allow modification; 2- Do a backup of your Data; 3- Flash the custom kernel; 4- Format Data and Cache to F2FS; 5- Restore the backup of your Data; 6- Reboot the phone and DO NOT allow to install SuperSU if it ask to you. (If after the reboot, the phone says that your device isn't rooted, flash another time CF-Auto-root)

- With the kernel and root installed, now is time to delete some apps: 1- Download and install RootExplorer; 2- Go into "system" -> search SecurityLogAgent.apk into the folder called "app" or "priv-app" (I don't remember in which folder is it) and delete it. Naturally, you have to grant root access to the app.

Now you have a good and stable rom. Also, if you want to debloat the stock rom, you can use this ZIP -> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479 (this is for the S5, but it's compatible with the S5 Mini) or you can delete manually some apps through RootExplorer. If you have some problems, contacts me.

Did all the steps above except for the URWsoft BareBone Cleaner. I had to reflash both Autoroot and TWRP through Odin twice. Weird. By removing SecurityLogAgent.apk I was finally able to enjoy my device without being warned all the time. Nice!
