Im new to the samsung scene but i know on my htc m9 the att model and the international model had all the same hardware and we were able to flash all the roms and kernals and everything the international /unlocked model could, would that be the same on the att s7 edge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Tikerz:
On the M9 you had to be bootloader unlocked though. Ours are locked. Closest thing you have here is flashing 935U firmware in this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] shag04:
Ah alright thank you for clearing that up
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BorgCymru:
Is it possible to update the OS.

Also I would like to know if the ROM is the chip data and that is updatable as well or am I confusing it all again and ROM is the OS :)

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] scousemartin:
you can only update the wallaby(O2 XDA) with WM2003SE, thats it i am afraid and the rom is the radio and OS on this so when you update you update it all,not like other devices on here where you can update just the OS
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BorgCymru:
It has WM5 on it, isn't that 'higher' than WM2003SE already ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] scousemartin:
well it isnt a wallaby then that you have,as if you have WM5 on a wallaby i would tell the forum and become a demigod on here, as it is impossible to do :D

go here http://xdaforums.com/index.php

and look for a picture of a device that looks like yours as you cant have a wallaby,unless somebody has changed the splashscreen that you see when it boots up to make it appear as if you have WM5
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BorgCymru:
Well to be honest none of the pictures look like the O2 Xda

I went on the group description.

Thats mine.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BorgCymru:
Think its the Artemis, will post my question there :)

I got the very phone from china and the main problem is that the play store and its services doesn't work. :confused: :confused:

I tried installing .apk files (play store, play services) from other sources and even tried flashing gapps but neither worked (ie the device is rooted via kingo root) .

How do i fix this? Please help! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spierce7:
Hey, I haven't rooted my phone in years, and thought I'd try it to goof around with some stuff. When thinking of backing it up, I thought I had everything off of it that I cared about, only to realize afterwards that I don't have my recent videos of my child backed up.

1. I allowed for unlocking in dev options

2. Boot into fastboot mode

3. Flashed recovery TWRP 3.0.2 bullhead

4. Boot into recovery

TWRP asked me for my pattern to unlock my phone. I gave it the correct pattern, and it keeps saying that it's wrong and can't unencrypt. I gave up on flashing superSU since I couldn't boot, and now my phone won't boot.

I've tried flashing an older TWRP on (2.8.7.2) to try to get things back up and running, but no. Any help would be appreciated!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Did you forget to list a step you did like

fastboot oem unlock

That step usually warns you that it is wiping your user data.

If you want to get it to boot, I would do

fastboot erase user

fastboot format user

fastboot erase cache

fastboot format cache

Although I wouldn't do that until you are sure what happened in case there is a remote chance your stuff is still there.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spierce7:
I ran

fastboot flashing unlock

In TWRP, in the backup option it still shows that I have several 26 GB in my data partition. I'm having a hard time finding it's location in the adb shell though so I can pull the files.

So that will get my device booting again? What if I wanted to get it booting again rooted?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
And you don't recall it warning you on the phone that your user data would be erased, forcing you to accept the prompt on the phone?

If TWRP says you have 26GB in your data partition available, then your data partition is probably empty.

I can't tell you 100% that will get you booting because I'm unsure of your exact problem.

I can tell you that one reason for the boot hang is if your user partition is erased but not formatted properly. What I suggested would fix that potential problem.

It doesn't seem like you'll lose any additional data you haven't already lost from the fastboot flashing unlock so it is worth a try.

I think the videos you were trying to retrieve are gone though from the fastboot flashing unlock forced factory reset.

BTW are you working with Android N or Marshmallow (6.0.1)? TWRP decryption doesn't work with Android N.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spierce7:
Honestly I don't remember at this point. If you're saying that it happens, then it must have happened, and I must be an idiot.

On the backup screen it says by data partition is 26019MB. I was interpreting that it was saying thats' how much data I have to back up. I guess your right, that it's not confirming that the data is there.

Stock Android 6.0.1
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spierce7:
I gave up and decided the data probably wasn't there.

I'm trying to get my phone working again as root. I'm seeing 2 messages: a orange one that says my data might be corrupt, that's more of a warning, and a red one after running the super user script provided by twrp. I see the red one every time I try to boot.

After that I ran the commands you gave me. Here are the results:

Flash stock boot and vendor images, then in TWRP flash latest SuperSU.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spierce7:
How do I do that? Where do I get the stock boot and vendor images from?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
You can get latest image from here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mtc19z-factory-9f649f91.tgz (this is stock Google firmware labeled MTC19Z from July)

After downloading, extract the archive, and run flash-all.bat (this script will flash all of the images for you, including data wipe, which can be disabled by removing -w parameter from the script).

Then, flash TWRP, boot into it and from there flash SuperSU zip.

When I try to disable my bluetooth, the smartphone shut down. I noticed that bluetooth was in this condition after updating the google app.
[Moto G General] _that:
Most awesome first post I've ever seen. :good:

A few additions:

"boot" and "recovery" both contain a boot image. It begins with the magic string "ANDROID!" and they contain a Linux kernel image, a device tree blob (tables describing the hardware for the kernel), and a ramdisk image for the root ("/") filesystem.

"system" is actually mounted at /system at runtime. "userdata" is mounted on "/data".

"cache" is mostly used for communicating with the recovery.

"aboot" is the Android bootloader. It is the last step in the bootloader chain which loads the kernel. It also implements the bootloader menu and the fastboot protocol.

"logo" contains the startup splash screen and the ugly "your bootloader is unlocked" image. The boot animation is part of /system.

"misc" is used, among other things, by Android to tell the bootloader to boot to recovery.

"padA" and "padB" are really empty.

"hob" and "dhob" are somehow very important for the modem to work.

Which of these partitions stores the PRL file

Thanks for posting such an in depth explanation on what all those partitions mean. I am using the Moto G3 2015 and I would like to know which one of those partitions stores the PRL file, I would like to manually update my PRL as I am using Cyanogenmod and do not want to deal with the hassle of going to Stock just to perform this one simple task, so I figure that I can perform a back up with Partitions Backup and Restore app, then mount the image on ubuntu, copy the new .prl file there, unmount image and then restore the image to the corresponding partition. I am assuming that's all what it would take to change my prl provided that the prl is actually stored on one of those partition.

Keeping getting MTP and settings have stopped working whenever I reboot. However everything seems to work fine with zero crashes. One thing I do notice though is the battery is draining super fast even in standby mode. Lost over 30‰ overnight. Note: I don't have SIM card so I haven't tested calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sazon goya:
I was having the same issue but I believe I fixed it by loading up CNBLACK's version of TWRP 3.0.2.0. I can't post the link because of the XDA 10 post rule but if you hit CNBLACK's Download link in the first post that takes you to android file host then navigate to root / Galaxy S2 / CyanogenMod / 13.0 / SGH-I777 / TWRP and grab recovery-TWRP-3.0.2-0-u1att.img

Previously I believe I had a Lanchon build which let me install any i9100 rom on the i777.

The .img version can be flashed from inside of TWRP under install > install image button. Once I installed it I went back into recovery and wiped data/cache/dalvik and the phone stopped all of the error messages and actually works pretty well with LineageOS

I don't have a SIM in the phone so I haven't tested calls either but it's a fun little project phone.

Note: I put my SIM card in however it was never detected. Tried rebooting still no luck. When I clicked on cellular networks under settings it gave the error: android.process has stopped.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dimoochka:
what?? that's crazy. Maybe it's cause I have xposed installed... I'll remove it and see what happens. Everything runs insanely slow. I'm really glad the ROM is treating you well - too bad the CM support isn't really there. I thought Lysergic Acid was keeping official i777 builds alive for MM/N? What about the other unofficial versions? My ROM builds probably contain a bunch of old Android security issues (google comes out with patches for newly discovered old bugs monthly).

That phone will outlive you and me both.
