[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mewohkie:
Hey guys, I've been out of the loop for a few years when it comes to root and roms. My past experience was with my S3, but after that broke I got an S5 and never had the ability to do much of anything with it. Well it finally broke yesterday and I happened to see one of the local Best Buys carrying the G935U developer edition. Picked it up, went to Verizon to get a new even smaller sim, and have been browsing XDA trying to figure out how to properly go about it for this particular model on the Verizon network.

So here I am now looking through way too many different forums for the G935(variants) and a bit overwhelmed.

TL;DR

Please point me in the right direction and/or share links with me :laugh:

I'm running into a lot of issues, even just trying to use MMS on the phone, the APN settings are all empty and un editable. :(

Also to be clear, I have an unlocked developer edition GS7E and trying to use it on Verizon network and maybe root/rom it for some better battery life

EDIT:

Got the MMS working and APN straightened out. Was an issue on V's side with activation not going all the way thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] aries426:
I just got a Verizon Note 5 and want to use it on T-Mobile. I read that I just put my sim in and change my APN to the fast.t-mobile settings which I did. But no signal, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I wiped simlock file by mistake in Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde. Now my phone does

not detect any SIM card.

I have a full backup including TA that I did via TWRP.

But now I can not install TWRP because my phone does not give me the root access and I

can not do this because "Unnown" status of rooting status in Service menu.

(I perfectly know the procedure to obtain root access and did it many times on my phone with

different firmware.)

1. Can I get this simlock.ta file from my TWRP backup and reflash it? If so, where this

file is located in the TWRP backup? I made a complete extract of all TWRP backup files

in Linux but I found nothing.

2. Can I get root access despite "Unnown" status? How?

3. Can I install TWRP recovery despite "Unnown" status? How?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _LLJY:
you can try flashing your TA backup. If all else fails, send it back to sony after reflashing TA

Samsung Galaxy S6 UK, Locked To Vodafone

SM-G920F Android 6.0.1 (I maybe incorrect)

Basically I tried to root my phone and It seems I bodged it.

I used a guide called 'Root Galaxy S6 G920I and S6 Edge G925I on Marshmallow and Install TWRP' on Droidviews. (I cant post links due to me being a new member)

After completing all the steps my phone was stuck in an endless loading screen loop.

I then used the backup I created via the guide.

After that was completed I restarted my phone and got a message in red text in the top left hand corner of the screen saying 'recovery is not seandroid enhancing'.

I then started to panic as this is a new phone so I did a factory reset on the device.

This changed nothing.

Please help me as at this time my phone is bricked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(I know about a potential method via Odin but I dont want to do anything without specific help in case I don any more damage)

Try to turn off the phone, then press the camera button while plugging in the USB cable, if it fails, you are doomed, if you are, try to JTAG it, but no one has ever succeeded, if all else fails, sell it off for spare parts
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] airtas:
Have a weird situation here. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I took my 64 gig memory card, moved all files to my MAC and then moved them to a 128 SD card.

Everything was fine on the original card but now all photos in my gallery and bumped up by 8 hours.

For example a picture with a 2PM last modified is now 10pm.

What is even stranger is the SD card shows correct values in OSX, Windows and a different HTC Phone.

Is the Windows modified label not the same on Android?

Any idea what is going on?

It happened in his hands a Deco77x with Andorid 4.4.2, not to throw it I put it back to life with a custom ROM, a Andorid 5.1.1 porting a Galaxy A3 currently installed. I tried the Lollifox, the CyanogenMod 12.1, I have tried several kernel including the "Franco kernel", adapted as one its appropriate there. I have traveled far and wide. But going to the point, the terminal mounting a MediaTek MT6572 CPU, 2 Cores, ARM Cortex-A7 at 1.00GHz, I can not in several GHz overclock to bring in more 'of 1.00 ... even if the operations are all going cheap end more 'of 1.00 just does not go. Putting the chip no longer 'of the power holders, perhaps limited by the producers themselves in a specific version for this phone, I've found on the website of MediaTek these data, "Dual-core chip (1.2GHz) ARM Cortex-A7 processor" so just do not understand because 'more' of 1.00 can not go there. I arrived to the extreme and I address you. Here I write some data that might help.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I really thought this would be an easy search and answer. I hope someone has a simple answer for me. Let me say I have purchased only unlocked phones for years now. I am in the USA. I Can't stand bloat, can't stand carrier labeling. The last Samsung I owned was the S3. Without going into a ton of detail I have recently become interested in the Note 5 and a bit tired of my 6P if I'm being honest. I don't want a Note 7. During my research on this, I remember why I got away from these phones (Carrier and bootloader locked) in the first place , such a pain to mess around with. I want root and maybe a ROM or two. I've learned to live without Xposed. I would gladly pay more for an international 64GB Note 5 that isn't GOLD. None on Swappa, none on Ebay. It just seems crazy to me. Anyway, I'm stuck buying either a T-mobile or Sprint version. Correct me if I'm wrong but all other US carrier versions seem to be more or less locked down, right? So should I find a Sprint or T-Mobile variant.....that's my question, unless I'm missing something obvious here. Thank you very much. $400+ seems like a steal for one of these phones in 64GB as long as I can debloat.

Hey guys,

I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a solution, but I am stuck.

I have an Android tablet. Brand and model unknown. Android version is 4.4.4. I was able to enable USB debug.. Not much of the options available when the tablet is powered on. Looks like the custom ROM is installed on it, because it comes up with some weird apps that I cannot even exit out off. This tablet was used in commercial setting as an interactive board, but was decommissioned and now I am trying to make it into a regular working Android tablet.

Using adb reboot recovery it gets me into the "No Command" screen. I cannot do anything else from there because this thing does not have volume up/down buttons, only a power button.

--wipe_data seemed to start an "erase" command, but all the random stuff is still on the tablet.

Was trying to load custom ROM through ADB, but I cannot get into a sideloader (no buttons).

Soooo, what are your thoughts guys, what can I do here? :rolleyes:

Edit: This device has a USB port. I found a keyboard with volume up/volume down keys. When on "No command" screen, I pressed the power button on the tablet and tapped the volume up button quickly. All the recovery options came up!

I've got a Galaxy a3, model sm-a300FU.

It was bought in the UK and it came with the O2 provider.

I tried inserting a VODAFONE sim and it requested an unlock code.

I used ODIN to flash a Vodafone Portugal stock rom (A300FUXXU1BPC2_A300FUVFG1BPC1_TCL) but it failed giving this error:

<ID:0/008> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/008> FAIL! (Ext4)

Tried to boot and it said the firmware update encountered an error.

I used ODIN to flash TWRP, and managed to boot.

I have a TWRP backup from before flashing the vodafone rom which I used it to restore the failed rom flash.

My questions are:

1- how can i fix that ODIN error? is it because i used the wrong rom?

2- Do i have an incomplete firmware now or did the TWRP backup successfully restored the firmware?

2.5- If i have an incomplete flash, which stock rom should i use to go back to how it initially was?

3- Is it even possible to flash a rom from a different provider? I've read (after trying to flash) that it shouldnt work.

use smart switch from samsung if u wanty to go clean samsung .. using recovery code
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
You can't unlock your device by flashing a Vodafone rom. Its carrier locked which requires an unlock code to use a different sim.

The firmware actually flashed OK above, it failed at the carrier specific hidden.img.

That file can be omitted from the firmware or just flash then when it fails just boot to Download mode and flash twrp then wipe cache and it should boot fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevvnnPhoenix:
So basically I recently decided that it would be a BRILLIANT idea to upgrade my tablet to 4.4+ so I could use Pokemon GO on it, but lo and behold I have gotten to the point where I have hit a wall

As the title says, it's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-i497 that used to run 4.1.4 I believe, and I no longer can get past the boot screen, I can get into Recovery mode and Download mode, and I have a recovery save on Kies but Kies refuses to connect to the tablet in it's state, it just continues to attempt to connect forever.

I guess my question would be this...

Is there an OS that is SGH-i497 compatible that I can attempt to use through ODIN, or alternatively, can someone point out a good recovery file I can use through an SD-Card so I can at least use my tablet again.

I will be monitoring for the next 8 hours before bed to answer any questions and provide any more information that I can, and thank you very very much ahead of time if you can help, I've been combing through forums for the past 3-4 hours and finally decided to make an account to make a post. Hopefully if I can get this resolved, I can help people if they have a similar problem in the future.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevvnnPhoenix:
Bump

Really hope someone knows something, at this point I honestly just want to get it back to it's normal stock stuff, I can't get it to connect to Kies when it's in download or recovery mode so my recovery files are on there and I don't know why it can't find the recovery files in the external SD card I have.:confused:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afordguy:
How about you start by telling us what you did to get to this point?

Have you installed a custom recovery on it?

Have you done any reading on rooting, installing roms etc?

I recently acquired one of these as well, and I have yet to find somewhere definitely that says that custom roms can be used on it.

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] i am oblivion:
Probably sorted it out or trashed your Stylo by now but if not here's how I broke past FRP on this bastard roughly 15 minutes ago (someone gave it to me for the purpose of getting past FRP without using any tools but Google and my small collection of brain cells as a learning aide...good times). That said, I'd about given up and was looking at the tool tuts on YouTube and was ready to let the LG Tool thing do it's business when I stumbled into something about using a WiFi hotspot, then switching it off just as Google was trying to update before it usually tells you to f*** off or login with the unavailable Google account. I had TalkBack on and Universal Switch on yada yada blah blah Overview shortcut assigned to the volume down key and on the second attempt I switched my other phone's WiFi hotspot off just in time to have the screen switch to "Choose A Name" and pretty soon I was twerking about in the LG Stylo/Android OS settings menu. Disappointed to see no Android 6.0.1 update waiting in stasis though. Cricket continues to serve as the gold standard of suck. Smaller storage. Crappier camera. Probably never see Android M outside a custom rom (if there's a Santa). Some weird storage bug if you stream tunes requiring you download an update?! Tf!? And sealed up like Ft. Knox to become the toughest FRP bypass I've seen out of 4 total cases (all LG surprise, surprise) including an LG Leon I opted to use as a projectile weapon last summer just because it pleased me to see it die :angel: anywho good luck. Chin up. Pip pip cheery-oh and all that fun stuff.

will try to describe it!

screen getting white with vertical lines, lettres has some tremble,

when screen getting white touch-screen doesnt work, only after button on/off pressed picture goes back to normal condition.

can work sometime without it, but every few minutes its appearing again

obviously its not a cable, cause works fine if disassembled, when mainboard removed from case

any ideas?

thanks

Hey guys,

Im a little bit in trouble here.

First of all sorry for my english.

I was trying to update my Kazam Tornado 2.5 but it was kinda strange because it is not that easy like huawei. So i started searching and found "Roms". I looked up tutorials etc. and used another version from the Tornado series. So its hard bricked now. I tried to flash the right version from needrom.com but it doesnt work either. Now windows doesnt recognizes

the phone anymore and its just complete black.

And i need really really help with this problem!

Thanks for every single answer :)!
[LG G Flex 2] drdoomgod:
Like most, I like my phone rooted, with xposed and all the nice stuff roots comes with. Also it seems to make the Flex2 much more usable in regard of battery, adblock, runtime etc... BUT the MM update seems to be really good, too.

So, my question the people who have used both is:

What has the better overall experience ( battery runtime, performance, features, overall feeling ):

- 5.1.1 root with amplify / greenify / smart network / adblock

- 6.0.1 stock

Also, what are the alternatives for non-root regarding adblock in chrome?

Thanks & Greetz
[LG G Flex 2] remorema:
6.0.1 here hands down. For Adblock use ABP

Enviado do meu LG-H955 através de Tapatalk
[LG G Flex 2] nerg:
Adguard works perfect. None of the issues you get with ABP without root.

I also prefer Marshmallow to rooted 5.1
[LG G Flex 2] moji_mohi:
MM has a realy good battery life and it's very smooth
[LG G Flex 2] Pungasul:
But what about thermal throttling??

I love 6.0.1 interface,it is so smooth that all the apps seem like they're almost always running in the background.

On the other hand,because of the throttling it lags very bad even in Angry Birds 2.FREAKING ANGRY BIRDS 2!!!

Is there any fix to this? On Marshmallow?? I just wanna change the thermal config file.

And btw I'd like to know how the camera on 5.1.1 with root modded with jpeg quality set to 100 compares with the marshmallow one.Furthermore,on 6.0.1 I can't see 1080p60fps option.
[LG G Flex 2] meangreenie:
I like to have a permanent full screen without on screen buttons wasting space or being accidentally touched. Root and lmt pie controls is a must for me.
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
Since root doesnt solve all overheat problems and from Time to Time still changes in Core Settings appear i can live with lagfree 6.0 .. Battery life is okay but the kernel still ramps cpu up too agressive and throttles too agressive too so... Actually android 6 with managable kernel would be nice.

[LG G Flex 2] Shuyin10:
I dont know if I return to 5.1.1 rooted for thermal because I'm on 6.0 and with Pokemon Go the temperature is horrible and my game very laggy when I play more 10mn, normal ?

Edit : after 10mn the proco was at 50C and i feel the hard throttling at 50C too (balance both 49/50C). Horrible lag
[LG G Flex 2] edwardsiow:
Conclusion, LG G Flex 2 with MM is a wonderful phone for ONLY using social media apps, browsing, facebook-ing, calling, SMS-ing or watching video WITHOUT GAMES. Basically I do not play GAMES at all...so totally no problem for me. It is QUICK and SMOOTH.
[LG G Flex 2] Shuyin10:
Little feedback, Pokemon Go with thermal engine change, no lag but more temperature. I up until 57C and have warning message but no lag when i was at 50C
[LG G Flex 2] meangreenie:
limit the max gpu speed, it will help keep the temp down
[LG G Flex 2] Shuyin10:
Yes but like CPU clock, the gpu always reboot and back to max.... It's impossible to play with frequency with this kernel....
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
Are There any Not Pokemon Related News?

Shouldnt it be possible to Change Files in /sys Folder with adb and Pull and push Files? Or is This Impossible on This Device? Or will it even Brick this the Device?

This folders contain a lot of Information about cpu and kernel Related Stuff or am I wrong?

Is There a usable and stable Way to Control our devices cpu/GPU yet?

Not without unlocked bootloader. (custom kernel)

*Rage against LG increases

Who knows, flex2 with android 7 maybe will fix a lot of Things for us - when it arrives for us before Smartphones became obsolete..
[LG G Flex 2] Agimax:
If you guys can dd partitions with MM then you could always modify the system image to what you want then put back on phone like I did for Sprint G4, see my Sig. I even managed to offer more CPU/GPU choices during boot without root and without bl unlock.
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
How?
[LG G Flex 2] dadaa1:
Do you really think LG will bring us android 7 nougat for flex 2? It wont happen. Support is nearly gone at the moment and this is problematic phone(overheating etc) what they obviously try to forget.
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
OFC not...it was irony
[LG G Flex 2] Agimax:
There is a 'Send_Command.exd' file that you can use while the phone is in download mode. This allows a temporary root shell prompt with working DD commands. That allows you to pull partitions and write partitions. With a locked BL and being MM, you can only pull the system.img, modify it (i use linux) then use the DD command to write it back. It will not allow rooting the system, but can tweak the heck out of it. See the G4 thread in my signature for my UltraPOP versions for more info and what is possible.
[LG G Flex 2] muruga2710:
In 6.0.1

Heat reduced

Fast

Clean

Better battery optimization

Increased SOT ( i got 4h 30m)

So far I'm happy with MM

Using Htc sense launcher :)
[LG G Flex 2] Pungasul:
Guys do you think it would be possible to extract stock system.img from Marshmallow kdz then tweak thermal config file,recompile modified system.img and flash it with the DD commands from 5.1.1?? This way we would have 6.0.1 and remove throttling aswell.Im planning to do that but don't want to hard brick my phone.Any advice? Would I brick it?
[LG G Flex 2] Agimax:
If I had the flex2 I would tweak things for you guys, and possibly if I could get time make an UltraPOP. Someone that had one needs to do the send_command trick while in download mode to see if they can pull the system image.
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
This would be awesome! I got some Feature requests, too. :D cpu Related stuff

So you would "only" Need the System File?

Edit: i read your ultrapop Post with Changelog - conclusion: it would be the Best Thing ever happened to our beloved Phone if you could do something like This ?
[LG G Flex 2] danielugolini:
We will have root on 6.0 soner or later ? Do we have some chance ?
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
Maybe, with a lot of time, quadrooter, Good Developers and Luck ...

But First i would be Happy enough with the Tweaks [MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] may can offer
[LG G Flex 2] XdaJoeX:
Sry for doublepost But dd doesnt find my Device in Download Mode with --list Command..

Is that normal?

Can someone pls verify or fix the problem? UltraPOP Mods seems to be Best Chance we ever had to get our Device nice and Smooth with MM.
[LG G Flex 2] Agimax:
You have to put your phone in download mode and cable plugged into computer (with all drivers and adb installed on your computer)

Then you have to see what port the Diagnostic port is handshaking with the device on

Then you run the 'Send_Comand.exe' while in download mode (with addition line commands)

Once you get a # prompt (root), you can use commands like DD

You need an experienced user to test to see if the 'Send_Command.exe' still works on the software version of MM for the Flex2. They had blocked it from working on the G4 in later MM versions, however, we have a work-around that involves a 9% unplug trick to again get the 'Send_Command.exe' to be recognized.

They have blocked this way from functioning at all on the new LG G5.

For all files and more detailed instructions, see the ROMs in my signature. Go to the instruction section.

EDIT: If someone would rather send me a Sprint Flex2 phone (I have almost every LG phone, but not that one), i will test for the vulnerability and if present, will create an UltraPOP for it. I could also send back the phone when finished if someone would rather. They are cheap online for used.
[LG G Flex 2] Topogigi:
The Send_Command trick does not work anymore with MM. I tried it since this version came out: the only working command I found was "ls", but "dd" does nothing. No hope for us
