[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
The post above (assuming this gets there in time) about killing the battery and restarting is correct (generally).

But what you did was not correct (in the quote). You cannot simply pull a boot image, restore that and presume that's enough. The reason is at boot, before selinux is turned down to permissive (init.d processing usually), your file contexts will likely not be correct. There are many commands in the flash updater-script handlers that fixup the permissions to match the ramdisk used. Additionally, there will probably exist inconsistent init.d handling, or otherwise none at all (i.e., with a stock boot.img).

My Skyhigh kernels generally fixes up the permissions in updater-script, even for ROMs that did not set up their initial files contexts correctly, so things will be smooth as you note. Going back to an improperly formed kernel flash, or just pulling the boot image and forcing it into place is not a good idea in general. Flash the full kernel flash next time so it can do its work. Or ask for help first -- we can get you settled.

Let ur s6 die meaning go to odin mode let it sit for hours until it auto shuts off ..while off plug in cable charge to about 10% plug off cable go into recovery first wipe data and cache n restart ...and wallah ur phone is fixed ...hit like it will help...100% this will work on ur phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Hey bud thats that constant rebooting issue yes it reboots about ten times before it can optimize those apps then if u do get to start up itll still reboot every min right. well let it die completly man die so much it wont turn on at all then plug it in aand turn it on bingo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Trpling:
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but there is a Soft Power-Off(basically the same effect as pulling out your battery) on a Samsung Galaxy S6. All you need to do is Hold volume down and the power button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] nostrings:
The letting it die has done it. I am still not sure why it worked, but I am really glad it did. Thank you!!!

RE: writing boot.img into BOOT partition manually. Yeah, not the best idea to go about it (to put it nicely ;) ). My line of thinking was, any file contexts would have been set by the init.d scripts that run as a result of your kernel having been previously flashed. Clearly, I paid for this assumption with an entire day of panic. There's so much I still have to learn about kernel development, and especially for our devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] nostrings:
I did do that multiple times, to no avail.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Hi,

Seems that phone starts much longer with MM.

Have you noticed that?

Lollipop booted almost instantly compared to MM. Am I the only one?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
I haven't notice any difference in loading times from a power on startup.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
Depends on how many apps you have installed too!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
I have the same list of apps prior and after MM upgrade. And the difference in boot time is noticeable.

Ok.. Seems that it's me...?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevePritchard:
No, it's not just you. I agree that boot time on my N910F is much slower on MM compared to Lollipop. It's not something I have timed, but I was always impressed at how quick Lollipop booted.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Btw.. I did a full factory reset even before MM upgrade. And of course after upfrade. So I don't think this slow boot is fixable.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
It's a bit slower but I can't say that I reboot my phone often enough to have it be a problem. Normally only reboot it to flash an update.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Guys in am not that good at understanding technical terms regarding root. But I all I can understand I am trying to put forth here.

All is a sudden applications started installing on my phone randomly. Also location services popped again and again when I turned data on. I blocked unknowable sources thought app installations did not stop. Hence it was clear apps were installing from Google play store. After trying everything I scanned my phone my activities that suggested malaware named 'key chain, location services'. It took place of system apps. So all I could do was to turn them off. And everything became normal now. But even after uninstalling app named '9apps' come back on my phone. I am using s4 Verizon which was already rooted. After this incidence I found that I m no longer get access to root and cannot delete these system files. What to do?

I want my root back

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooted Droid:
Just received my 32Gb Nexus 5 in the mail the other day and realized that the right speaker on the bottom doesn't work. I did some research (thinking it must be a broken speaker) and found that the Nexus 5 only has one speaker for audio on the left side.... Nice.

Back in April I had another nexus 5 (16Gb) that ended up issues with the power button so it bootloops at the google logo but all the other parts work so I have a spare speaker.

Would it be possible to use the speaker from the broken Nexus 5 that I disassembled and some how patch it into the other Nexus 5's speaker and have 2 working speakers?

Just thought it's an interesting idea/possibility.

Tell me what you guys think! :) Thanks.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickGuy:
Hello people! I wanted to see if anyone else has been having any similar problems as I have been having.

I have had TWO different Fire TV Sticks recently that have been unable to connect to a WIFI connection. Both of them were very close to the routers. They both had the same message when I attempted to connect to the WIFI connection: 'Not In Range'.

I typed the WIFI password in with all lowercase and then all caps. I reset the stick. I even restored the stick back to the factory defaults. Nothing worked.

Any ideas?

:confused:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSC05:
I guess you try to connect to 5 Ghz? Then you have to choose a fixed lower channel in your router. The fire tv afaik doesn't see higher 5 Ghz channel.

[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
I've already been using the AOSP MM custom ROM for several months now which is stable. So this one needs to be better, rootable, be installed through flashfire or twrp and have some obvious advantage for me to switch.

Hopefully we get a hold of a leaked version for our tab s

As I said on other thread,

This is the last Samsung product I buy ever !

First I was having Nexus 10 made by this money hungry company . awful product made to be broken from born.

Second, this **** tablet with their sh.t software. If you change it you are done.

[Galaxy Tab S General] ayamgoreng:

[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
I am not sure in what way the Knox system prevents you from doing anything to your device. The Knox does not prevent you from rooting the device, installing TWRP, or from flashing roms. Samsung often calls Knox the "warranty bit", but that's a bull name that has no legal meaning.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bxrider117:
I'm happy to hear that the marshmallow update is coming to this tablet. I have the 32gb version and I really like it. I had the nexus 7 2013 before this and tried some other tablets that have the marshmallow update like the Nvidia shield but I enjoy this tablet more. Coupled with a 128GB SD Card, I have a plethora of movies and books on it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:

One thing i noticed with MM AOSP is that when my 10.5" was connected to my notebook (usb 3.0 900ma), the battery icon showed it as charging, on kitkat and lollipop this did not happen all that showed was a red cross over the battery icon.

[Galaxy Tab S General] fred_be9300:
Take a deep breath. Samsung usually leaves more than a week from one tab s device to the next, for major release
[Galaxy Tab S General] ElCid43:
Do you all think that the 8.4 AT&T version will get it? I JUST bought one off of ebay for taking on trips, hopefully I didn't get a Marshmallow unicorn! lol
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
Everyone just take a deep breath, I'm sure MM will be released to all variants of the Tab S. Releasing it only to the T805 makes no sense, especially because the manuals had "T700/T705" and "T800/T805" written on them

I have a T800 and I'm sure in 7 days max our rom will pop out somewhere.

I had this same issue with the red cross showing, but the battery charged anyway. Weird visual bug.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gl1tchy:
I believe it shows the red cross because the tablet won't charge as fast when connected to USB as it will when connected to the faster charger that it comes with. It will still charge just sloooow.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
Could you explain how? Never knew that.

EDIT: Edited quote to make it more clear.
[Galaxy Tab S General] phatestcat:
That would be a nice surprise, especially since the Tab S 8.4 was left off their official list of devices that would receive updates. I had pretty much lost hope they would send an update.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Legally, if it was an OTA, no. But Samsung has a track record of not giving a s**t about the GPL.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
Someone made a 5.1.1 port from the Note 10.1 to the Tab S 10.5 here on XDA, but I don't remember the ROM's name.

So in theory someone could port Marshmallow from T805 to P605 as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TimurAlaskara_TR:
I remember when LP came out for my lovely note 3 neo (and the update was delayed 15 months) they only released the kernel source for the LTE model. After requesting the source for the 3g model they released them some months after that.

So yes they really don't give a crap about that... I can't tell u how angry I was at them :victory:

I guess that would make this recursively vindicating? ;) Thanks for your work on CM13, will be great to be able to update to CM13 some day. I'd say I can't wait, but CM12.1 is doing so well for me I can't complain.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Diogenes5:
Roller coaster for tab S owners last few weeks. First sammobile says we'll get MM and then they take it back and say we won't and then it's front page that we do.

All I know is, I get to keep this baby for a long while longer. Samsung is sticking to its guns with the ipad wannabe S2 design which is fine; I simply have no interest in a marginally faster product with worse battery life and a less usable media consumption aspect ratio.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
While I'm obviously sticking with my Tab S for quite awhile longer; I'm looking for the next best tablet as a secondary just in case I decide to get another in the next few months.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
I will disagree with the battery life statment, having had both tablets.

German galaxy tab s got MM, this means that all exynos galaxy tab s familly will get MM and we should not worry about this. But from my experience there is no point in hitting refresh button because it usually takes even 2 months for samsung for releasing the same android verion for one model for every region. But eventually everybody will get MM.
