[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
1- Unfortunately yes, some users reported that APD1 firmware does not have this issue

2- Yes, most probably. Also hot pixels havent been seen in Sony sensors

Not only the hot pixel is the problem but also the photo quality and autofocus speed in APEQ and following firmwares.

I have downgraded and tested my S7 on older FW (APC8) and that FW doesnt have hot pixels with HDR on. The newest BPHB has hot pixels with HDR on so I hope thats a FW issue and that it will be solved at least in Nougat upgrade....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lethalfriend:
I am on APDH and doesn't have any hot pixel issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
hope to Samsung fix this issue finallly with Nougat

too bad to have such a problem in quality camera
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] diegox91:
I downgrade to APC8 firmware and still having the same issue. Can you guys putt the link what doens't have have hot spots please?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MisterKanister:
Did you ever see any hotpixels on your images (with other firmware versions)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Garten2070:
Interesting point here, I also have the Isocell sensor and on all of my pictures with hdr more or less purple hot pixels.

Using the app open camera and there turn on hdr, no hot pixels but an very good hdr setting.

I read the whole article and also hope that's a fw issue and / or an compatibility problem...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tahirozgun:
Hi Guys . İ had this hotpixel problem on my flat s7. i came back APD2 TURKEY firmware and problem solved . now i have better focusing speed and dynamic range on my s7. only bad thing is sometimes night photos goes yellowish . Nevertheless im staying APD2 firmware . We must wait to samsung fix this pinkspot problem. Added APD2 firmware sample photo HDR: ON
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
nope, unfortunately "open camera" can not fix it.

I agree tahirozgun, APD firmware is the best choice for now.

another friend gave his device to the repair center cause of this problem and they change the camera sensor with the Sony one, it also fix this issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dpk1:
Pink spot issue (isocell rear cam with hdr on) seems to be fixed for me after the latest BPIO update. I've been trying to replicate the issue for the last two days following the update, but couldn't. I think it's safe to say that the issue is fixed, at least for me, with the latest update!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
cant find any information about BPIO :confused:

could you please send us the link by sammobile?

I'm on France(XEF) and the latest update is BPHJ with 1 September security patch...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dpk1:
It is the latest OTA update for S7 edge (G935FD) in India, which I received 2 days back. It has not been posted on samfirmware yet. Not sure if the full firmware is even available online. Anyway, it should be available online soon i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
thanx for your feedback :) waitin for the new update. But cant decide is it come with 1 September security patch? If it is, France(XEF) have it till the last month and "hot pixel" can be seen with it.

did you see any improvements other than "hot-pixel" like battery drain, camera quality?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dpk1:
No improvements in camera as per my observation. The cam firmware remains the same, strangely! Battery seems to hold bit better in poor lte signal areas. Had no complaints regarding battery anyway.

I am enjoying the isocell camera truly now and feel the jpegs are a lot better compared to its sony counterpart!

P.S - I'm sad to say that the pink dots/spots are

STILL present after the latest update

. Fu****s haven't fixed anything. They've somehow tricked the auto mode to only display hdr on (when hdr auto is selected), but actually click photos with hdr off. That is the reason why I thought till now that the issue is fixed.

I was shooting all this time with auto mode (hdr auto) and all the pics were pink dots free. Just now, I actually turned the hdr on as I suspected the hdr wasn't working the way it should (in auto) and damn... the pink dots are back!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MisterKanister:
I noticed something about HDR a longer time ago:

There seem to be 3 types (HDR strengths) of photos on my SGS7e

- no HDR (obviously no HDR)

- Auto HDR (slight HDR, but the difference is noticable in comparison to no HDR)

- HDR on (stronger HDR in comparison to Auto)

So what I'm saying is that Auto-HDR != HDR on, but it still is for sure "more HDR" than no HDR.

Just tested it again with 3 times the same pic in all 3 HDR modes. Try it yourself!

And only the manual HDR on had a hotpixel.

I am on G935FXXU1BPH1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dpk1:
Interesting! Thanks for your feedback! It's night here right now, will be able to test it only when the sun comes up.

Anyhow, pink dots used to appear even with auto hdr on earlier. But now, only appear when hdr is turned manually on.

Bottomline is that the issue still remains and samsung has not fixed it. I am afraid if samsung would even bother to fix such an issue that affects only one type of the two sensors used (which apparently seem to be the minority)! And I am sure they are well aware of this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MisterKanister:
Yes do so, I was astonished when I first saw that auto-HDR (where it says then HDR on) doesn't produce the same results as the manually activated HDR.

The manual type is always stronger. I see the differences even in in the preview screen when I toggle though the HDR modes.

Anyway, I've learned to live with these few pixels here and there. They just appear sometimes, not always, and even then, you have to really search hard for them.

My previous S7 edge had a Sony sensor and no hotpixels, but the homebutton didn't fully react when pressed on the left hand side...

Guess you can't have it all.

Plus a lot of digicam sites talk about the hotpixel issue and state that they can appear at any time and are not worth the hassle
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Yes, i have the same problem also with the pink dots on a S7 intl version with the samsung sensor. I'm on the G930FXXU1BPHJ firmware and hope this can be fixed with a software update because it looks horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] klusek:

I did this to Samsung Germany....and you won't hear their answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
wonder what did they say? :)

I guess Korea will solve this problem finally, we should write again and again till they solve it in Nougat especially in those days which they troubling with Note7s...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Luigi.:
I have an S7 with the same Problem. Now it is on the way to the repair center again.

The first Sensor gets 6Pixel. After repair i get 11pink pixel (other location, vs. 6 pink pixel,) , i think they have changed the Photo Sensor. I have an Samsung Sensor Inside.

I also checked this at an other S7 with Samsung Photo Sensor, and i cant find any pink pixel.

I think, Samsung have an quality problem with manufacturing of the photo sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] klusek:
That's my thought too.I have tested five S7 ,and four of them have the pinkpixel issue .The 4 devices have all the samsung sensor.The only one without the pinkpixel ,was a s7 with sony sensor inside.

Why do you think samsung put in all the Note 7 a Sony Sensor? I have one with the samsung sensor and of course, with pinkpixel on HDR.

I wrote to Samsung Germany to report the issue and my testing.The answer was a joke,they say a malicious software on my phone caused the pixels,and a factory reset is the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darksephirott:
hi i'm from spain, i have change 3 s7 edge with this problem, the 3 s7 have this problem, i'm thinking that all s7 have this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
would I give a chance to the new firmware? (BPJ1 with 1 October security patch)

I heard it fixed this issue, but not sure...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fulcrum99:
I updated to BPJ6 with October sec patch and camera still has this purple pixel issue under HDR On.....:/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TintinPsych:
Do you tried custom rom/kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ecg803:
for me I have tried many different roms and it never fixed the hot pink pixels but if I move over to the note 7 ports, The hot pink pixels are gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
have a good news guys: with BPJE firmware (changelist 9519568) hot pixels gone ;) I saw sample photos...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] klusek:
Yes, I can confirm it,I update 5 min ago and made some tests,and they really solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darksephirott:
I hope that is not a joke! I want this phone but whitout Pink pixels...someone else can confirm that Pink pixels are gone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] klusek:
So you must choose one s7 with a Sony sensor or update to the newest firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darksephirott:
no one else has tried has put the new update? I need to know if it is true that it is a firmware error

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] absinthe77:
Hello, I'm french, thanks for this news it seems that we will have this update shortly. But I would like to know if you had this problem on all your pictures. Because for me it's not on every pictures, it seems to be random and only on extern pictures, so it's hard to say if it's with HDR on, auto or off !

I am on G935FXXU1BPHJ

Thanks for yours answers and I hope the problem is finally fix now !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BlueMann:
Hi, firmwares from APEQ to BPHJ had this issue only when I activated HDR (on or auto). I suggest you to upgrade the firmware to the newest one (BPJE), it totally eliminates this problem whether you activate HDR or not.

Standby/ battery performance also better in this firmware.

Je vous en prie :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] absinthe77:
Thanks a lot for this good news. I will wait for the OTA update

Have a good day

Edit : I've just have the update and I did it. I will tell you later if everyting is ok about those purple spots !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dboechat:
I've just updated the firmware on my S7 and the hot pixel problem is gone. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dpk1:
Its true, the Isocell pink dots issue (with hdr on) has been finally resolved by samsung with the latest official India update (BPJJ) too! Camera now works flawlessly in all modes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] metalboy94:

[XDA Assist] KingOnoi:
Hello a totally blind noob here!

So I somehow managed to root my HTC One XL a few years ago and haven't updated it since. Now with Pokemon Go being released I have tried to unroot my device to update it and used the tool on this link.

htc1guru . com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-841-1-zip/[/url]

Despite the actual navigation of this tool being simple I still followed a video guide and through the whole process there were no warnings or failures and everything was going great and then it was successful so I thought I was done.

As per the instructions of the reset tool I selected the option to wipe the data partitions then opted for the Stock Recovery but did not select the stock radio, then it did it's installation.

However upon its reboot the phone never made it past the HTC Quietly Brilliant logo with white backdrop.

Upon inspection in the boot loader I discovered that my installed TWRP recovery was still there despite supposedly being "removed".

I really cant afford a new phone atm so I desperately need to un-screw up this phone, guidance is immensely appreciated.

Device specs are as follows:

CID- Telstra TELST001

Evita PUT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT- 2 . 14 0000 (Don't know if this is my firmware or how exactly i can find that in fastboot)

RaDIO- 1 . 26a . 32 . 45 . 19

OpenDSP- v34 . 1 . 0 . 45 . 1219

eMMC- Boot

Nov 26 2012 (not sure why this is here but i don't know if its important or not).

The TWRP I have installed is v2 . 4 . 1 . 0

Thanks

[Wileyfox Swift] Blaubart7:
Hey guys, to keep it short:

- Wileyfox Swift, Cyanogenmod 13, Android 6.0.1

- Played around with Titanium Backup Pro and probably broke the OS somehow.

- When I start the phone, after the Wileyfox Swift-Logo, I only get occasional flashes and that's it.

- I can access Fastboot and can give it commands from my PC via adb

- I cannot access Recovery (white flashes again). Starting a recovery-img via adb didn't work either.

Is there still hope? :(

Thanks for any help.
[Wileyfox Swift] Dior DNA:
if you still have access via fastboot you can restore stock cos12.1 or cos13.0 as follows:

fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
[Wileyfox Swift] Blaubart7:
Recovery ended up working again after I did this, and I was able to reset my phone.

Thank you!!
[Wileyfox Swift] LG-dudey:
where would I get these files?

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash system system.img

I found the first batch in the CyanogenMod zip, but the above 4 are not present. Are these in the recovery bin or do I need to get a backup from another wileyfox swift?

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Flashing the first batch from DiorDNA's guide gives me a new fastboot mode with a number of options. I have a menu that shows:

Reboot to Android

Reboot to Recovery

Reboot to Bootloader

Power down

About the Phone

Reboot to EDL

none of these options help me unfortunately and still put me in boot loop with the Wileyfox Swift Powered by Android screen repeatedly flashing / looping

I suspect its due to the 4 files I am missing
[Wileyfox Swift] robin0800:
The files are all in the "fastboot zip" on this site

https://cyngn.com/support
[Wileyfox Swift] the-madman:
Blaubart, did you ever resolve that, s I just did the exact same and bricked the phone with Titanium remove system app.

How did you get fastboot to connect, I have 2 stages i tried with "fastboot oem device-info",

turned off and plug in USB cable I get the willeyfox logo (fastboot doesnt care about it yet)

booted to the twrp boatloder but cant go to recovery or os boot (flickerig as you desbribed) (fastboot still doent care about)

I'm not yet prepared to bin the phone ;)
[Wileyfox Swift] the-madman:
ok for the records if anyone else stumples over this...

you are able to fastboot flash once reaching the bootloader menu. however only 1 of my 10 USB cables (and it was the second last) was actually able to detect / connect the phone properly.

the image files can be obtained from https://cyngn.com/support or rather go straight for lineageOS as I did.

https://www.hacksandgeeks.com/singl...l-Lineage-OS-141-for-Wileyfox-Swift-crackling
[Wileyfox Swift] robin0800:
It would be better to link here

https://download.lineageos.org/crackling

rather than your second link
[Wileyfox Swift] AssassinFox:
I'm in this pickle too. I tried to flash the latest TWRP but when trying to get into recovery I am stuck in a bootloop with the same menu as you. Did you end up resolving this issue ? I've tried plugging in a USB cable from my phone to my PC but my PC doesn't seem to recognize it.

I think wiping my lineage OS in TWRP and then not enabling OEM bootlock/USB-debugging has got me in this situation. Any help is much appreciated.
[Wileyfox Swift] 115ek:
You need to get into fastboot mode, then flash a working recovery.

Install LineageOS on crackling | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

If you can't enter fastboot mode via adb you can also enter it via hw keys.

Power off your phone, then

either keep holding VOL up and connect USB cable from PC

or keep holding VOL up and power on

Then wait until you see the menu with reboot to android/recovery/bootloader, power down and so on.

From there you can flash a working recovery via

fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img
[Wileyfox Swift] AssassinFox:
Thanks for the reply, I've sorted it now. One unrelated issue I'm having though is that I can flash GApps Pico since there is insufficient space apparently. Do you know how to fix this?

I've seen some people saying that you can cut down the size of GApps by making a config which excludes some installations but I also can't transfer media via USB to my wileyfox swift. All of the USB connection methods are greyed out
[Wileyfox Swift] 115ek:
There are only three options: Don't install gapps, strip the gapps package so that it fits or reformat the internal storage. But for the third option you should know what you do as you could completely brick the device.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mtruong15:
Hello!

So I recently replaced my stolen AT&T HTC M8 with an a refurbished one and decided to root it for my first time. Unfortunately, I fell into the common mistake of using the outdated Hasoon2000 All-in-one toolkit. I'm not well-knowledged in phones, but I definitely want to learn (which is why I am here). I know I should've been more cautious and prepared prior, but all I can do is learn and move forward now. I've spent a few hours researching and trying to understand the process, but there is a lot of technical aspects that I haven't grasped yet. Well, here is my situation:

My phone is currently soft bricked and I am unable to access my phone's UI when I boot it. After the HTC One logo, the phone will be black and consistently bring up, "unfortunately AT&T ready2go has stopped". It will also say that the UI has stopped and I have no choice but to turn off my phone. Prior to this, I had an issue with Superuser where there was no binary so I tried to re-install it thinking that would do something; I then performed a factory reset (thinking it would somehow fix it). I realized after this that TWRP and SU were both out of date and now I'm here not sure what to do. I would like to be able to flash the RUU to revert back to stock and go through the rooting process manually but I haven't had much luck with the .exe file so far; do I need to have S-OFF and/or relock my bootloader? If so, how do I do that? I'm still learning, and it's a lot to pick up, so bear with me please as I try to piece together everything. I've been searching through the forums, but it hasn't really helped me too much.

Here is what my Hboot says:
