[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazeL_:
I used 5.1.1 to before I accepted the MM OTA and I didn't have any p roblem with 5.1.1. I tried to flash different type of 6.0.1 after the problem. Just, problem started with the MM OTA. I will try to flash 5.1.1. So, I guess I need to enter recovery to wipe data/factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 but I can not because it still bootloop. How can I do wipe data/factory reset?

Edit1: And I readed somewhere, they said that it is about the kernel? Is it possible?

Edit2: A few minutes ago, I succeeded to enter recovery mode, I did factory reset and phone still bootloop. It doesn't open. Now, I am downloading the 5.1.1. I will try to flash 5.1.1.

Edit3: I tried a lot of times but it is still same. I flashed the 5.1.1 with different versions of Odin. I successful with flashed it but phone wants to enter in recovery mode after flashing and it bootloops. It is trying to enter recovery mode all time but it doesn't work. Sometimes, on charge, it close to enter the recovery mode. I said in edit2 I succeeded to enter recovery mode, but I didn't say that it was on charge because I discover this now. So, I don't know what I have to do, I am waiting for your suggestions.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
Let's see if we can get your Note Edge into safe mode without bootlooping. Use these steps:

Turn on safe mode

Turn the device off.

Press and hold the Power and Volume down key.

Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.

Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.

I have read a few forums and notes about booting into safe mode can stop the bootloop. Once it's successfully booted into safe mode we can attempt to boot normally. Give it a shot and I'll keep researching. Good luck.

I tried a lot of times but it didn't work. I tried on charge, without charge, with different cables but still bootloop. It is just like a joke. :rolleyes: :eek:

I tried with Kies but Kies didn't see my edge. It didn't connect. On the Kies window, it said "connecting..." so I waited about 2 hours and it didn't connect. Then, I tried to emergency firmware recovery, it didn't see my edge again.

Download Samsung Smart Switch and see if it recognizes your device.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaseeh:
I have the same problem with my friend's phone (SM-N915F) , I tried all the suggested solutions to no avail.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
Do you have your friends device with you and a PC to use? Was your friend trying to root the device or install a custom recovery or a custom ROM when this happened?

Or, did your friend accept the OTA for 6.0.1 MM and then ended up in a bootloop after installing the OTA?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaseeh:
Yes i still have my friend's phone with me and I have a PC .. he wasn't trying to root it or anything .. he said that the phone was too slow then it rebooted by itself then the bootloops started. i have tried several time to get to the recovery but I couldn't I can only put it on download mode that's where I tried to flash a 6.0.1 MM stock rom using odin and didn't succeed :(
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
What version of Odin are you using to flash the factory firmware? Try to flash the firmware with a different version of Odin.

Also, you said the flash was unsuccessful using Odin. Was there an error message in Odin at the bottom left corner of the screen? If so, what was the error? I have had several flashes fail using one version of Odin but pass with a different version.

Also, what version of Android was your friends device using before you tried to flash the 6.0.1 firmware? If the device was running 5.1.1, have you tried to flash a 5.1.1 firmware with Odin?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaseeh:
I have used Odin version 1.85 then tried with Odin v3.11.1 , the flash succeeded no errors but the phone stayed as is .. Actually, he doesn't know the android version of his phone before it bricked. Are u suggesting that I should try to flash a 5.1.1?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
Search for Odin 3.07 and 3.10. I use both of these versions. When all else fails for me I use 3.07 and it always seems to work for me. Also, I'm betting it was running 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 hasn't been out that long for the Saudi Arabian Note Edge. I would flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware using Odin 3.07 and see if it will allow you to boot normally. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaseeh:
I tried flashing android stock rom 5.1.1 like u suggested using Odin 3.07 and 3.10 but still nothing changed ... I think it's totally bricked.

Thank you fast69mopar I appreciate your inputs :good:
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
Dammit man. Ill keep looking through my Samsung stuff and see what I can find. I sent my cousin an email yesterday who works for Samsung in their Tier 3 Technical Support/Case Management Group and asked her for some help. I'm really curious as to what she has to say on the subject. When it comes to a Samsung Galaxy or Note device she is a PRO. When I run into an issue with any of my Samsung devices that I can't fix, I call or email her. Keep working on it and we will find a solution.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
I downgraded from 47A to 10B via TOT, then used StumpRoot and installed TWRP. Then I booted to TWRP and installed the 35B bootstack, along with CM13 and an open gapps package.

It seems that literally everything else is working fine; I can receive sms/mms, I can make and receive calls, I have mobile data.

But I just cannot send a text message. My Preferred Network Type is set to Global, and I am using the VZWInternet APN.

I have searched google and these forums but have not found a solution. I have also tried clearing the caches and using the DirtyUnicorn rom as an alternative.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this working?

EDIT: it seems that making a phonecall does something and then my texts will send. Googling around turned up nothing of use.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There are often issues on non-stock ROMs. Sometimes there's a nightly build that works reasonably well and then another later that breaks things again.

It takes a year/a year and a half minimum for any new version of CM to become kinda sorta stable. Until then it's a constant work in progress.

If you read the last posts in the CM13 thread you'll see you're not alone with issues. I've stuck with VS985 stock based ROMs for a year.

Note that sometimes when users flash either a non-stock ROM or an international-based stock ROM, sometimes they had trouble getting things working right again even when they flash a stock based ROM until they flashed the TOT again and start fresh.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
Thanks again for the reply. I did notice some people having data issues on some of the later nightlies, but didn't see any reports of sms issues so I thought I might be safe lol.

I'll probably try flashing the 10B tot again then using a stock based rom like you suggested (even though I'm not a fan of LG's ui).

Do you have any recommendations on a stock-based rom to flash? I noticed that in the 47a stock thread you posted about debloating, do you just use a debloated version of 47a? or do you go with some of the other stock based ones with maybe some more features?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Both of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's ROMs are excellent. His 35B (5.1.1) based VS985 v2.0 ROM is awesome, and he took a lot of care and effort in making it. His stock rooted 47A firmware is as stock 47A as you can be while being rooted and able to get into TWRP. In the third post of the 47A thread (and in my signature below) I have a link to my debloat zips post, and also a link to [MENTION=6795073]joshua70448[/MENTION] 's really cool online customized debloat zip generator, so you can make your own debloat zip that does exactly what you want.

I flash my "All" debloat zip and for most others I recommend the "No OTA" debloat zip. 47A is just very slightly even smoother than 35B, although it has some idiosyncrasies with USB OTG access (I have to navigate to root/mnt or root/storage - I forget which, to access it in X-plore File Manager), and I consider Xposed and several modules a must. Just use the search field in the 47A thread and type in Xposed and you should find the most important info if you need it. Greenify's aggressive doze feature is helpful, too. When I've hardly touched my phone over a holiday weekend, I've truely gotten, twice no less, 120 hours on battery between charges, but this includes less than an hour screen on time, and just staying home where the signal is consistent, so don't expect that while actually using the phone.

I've been using his 47A debloated since it came out.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
Nice, I'll look into what you're saying while I'm at work and then work on it when I get home. And holy crap 120 hours?!? On the HTC One m7 I'm coming from I could maybe get 1/10 of that (very low usage with data off and battery save on), so your 120 sounds like a made up number to me haha.

On a slightly unrelated note, and I'm not sure if you would have an answer to this, but do you have any suggestions on how to get into some more in depth android development? (kernels/bootstacks/roms etc) I believe I have the necessary skills to do so, just never really found a good entry point.

Really though, I know you probably enjoy helping people, but I want you to know that its really helpful having someone reply quickly with great answers.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I know I took screenshots of my battery life the 2-3 times I had 100 or more hours, but I don't know for sure if I uploaded those particular screenshots although I know I commented about my success. I'm very sure I uploaded screenshots to the VS985 v2.0 thread when i was on that ROM, although might not have been quite as extreme as on Marshmallow. 100+ hours is easy with aggressive doze and not travelling/not touching your phone hardly at all. :D

Are you familiar with Linux? If not, start there since it makes real development easier or is necessary for some aspects. I've just barely scraped the surface - I've just recently made a version of my LG G Pad 8.3 stock ROM that has busybox and SuperSU "baked" in based on [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's examples with his permission. Baking those in and having made the 3MinitBatteryMod for the Sprint Galaxy S3 in the past are the extend of anything approaching real developing I've done, but still not really. Making the stock tablet ROM wasn't really developing - I just followed other's examples and the only thing I modified was a text file.

Open a stock ROM zip of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's and look at the contents. Look at the updater-script and clean.sh (just text files) in the two subfolders. Open them with the free NotePad++ if you're on Windows to get them to display correctly.

I've fooled mostly with Ubuntu and a little of BBQLinux distributions of Linux for some Android work. BBQLinux is more geared towards Android developing but I'm really not experienced enough to suggest one Linux over another.

Every once in a while I play around with the idea of doing some real developing. I have to considerations I'm keeping in mind: 1. It may be easier to start with something that's already been developed, and try to re-create it as in that case there's already a working reference, such as compiling TWRP or CM13 for the VS985. Once I'm successful doing that, the experience would help me develop for another device. 2. I don't want to actually publish anything that just duplicates what everyone else is doing - there's enough of that in my opinion, so in the end, my aim would be to develop for my LG G Pad 8.3 VK810, since there's at least been *some* development in the past for it, but there's no active or at least public development going on for it currently, and I have particular desires to make the tablet work better that could be addressed by developing.

Thank you and you're welcome! I do enjoy helping people and I get the most out of it when someone has been able to do whatever it is they were trying to do. I've learned from a bunch of helpful people on here and enjoy paying it forward.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
I've actually spent the summer learning unix, so maybe this'll motivate me to actually put that to use haha.

Android developing is really the only thing I wanted to use linux for anyway so maybe bbqlinux is a good option.

Compiling cm13 would definitely be a good start, and I'm sure there are plenty of ways to make personal modifications to it. I guess mainly I want to do the same things as you lol, go where other devs have left or just do things for personal use.

Thanks again for all your help!
[Verizon LG G3] relagent:
I suggest you use an aosp based ROM. Options include Tesla, Tipsy, XenonHD, BrokenOS or Exodus. All very stable options. If you want to build I would suggest linux mint. Ubuntu base, very smooth, lots of support. You can follow this guide to get it set up: https://github.com/PAC-ROM/android_vendor_pac/blob/pac-6.0/docs/PrepareForBuildLinux.md

It is made for PAC, but it is working for the ROM I am currently developing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
On a whim snagged a refurb Thor for $55 USD on Prime Day. Arrived in 'like new' condition (not a mark on it) with FireOS 13.3.2.5 which is fully unlockable. Score!

Might be from an older batch of unsold units. Still competes nicely in the shrinking field of premium 7" tabs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] EncryptedCurse:
The HDX 7 is definitely a better deal than the $50 Fire 7; it is so much more pleasant to use.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stangri:
I'm afraid that the new old stock for 3rd gen HDXes has been cleared out. I was on the fence about the $70 3rd gen HDX 7 for a few days in early November (hoping it would go down to $55 on the seasonal sales) and then it sold out before Black Friday and only the $120 HDX 8.9 was left which I snapped. It did come absolutely new with english firmware but asian markings on the box.

I wasn't a fan of crazy-high PPI density (due to higher battery drain) but the difference with inferior PPI tablets and phones is drastically visible. If you want a universal device for consuming videos and text, that's definitely the device to get.

As much as I love the HDX 8.9, I wish I (also? instead?) bought the HDX 7. Even at $70 (pre-tax) it's a pretty good deal. At $55 it's an absolute steal.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Warehouse deals come and go albeit with less frequency as devices age out. Keep checking. As you probably discovered both HDX models have powerful backlights due to panel density but are remarkably efficient and readable at lower settings. On the HDX 7 I found relatively small adjustments in brightness have a disproportionate impact on drain rate, especially at the lower end. I also use Xposed to expand the brightness scale; happily ramps down to 1% with no issues. Great for dark rooms. Plays nice with blue light filters too.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stangri:
Yeah, last night I was looking up information on some e-ink Android readers and stumbled upon occasional sales for HDX devices at (now amazon-owned) woot.com, however I couldn't figure out what generation devices are sold at woot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Tomen8r:
If you click the specs tab you will find the info you need. For example the HD 8.9 is a Jem (not Apollo, Thor, etc) from 2012. You can also cross reference using this link ... https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fire-Tablet-Family/b?ie=UTF8&node=6669703011

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Bawdy George:
Thanks to this forum, I resurrected my old 32GB Thor by the downgrade to 4.5.5..1/Safestrap 4.01/CM11 in the stock slot method. I Iike it so much I was able to snag a used but pristine 16 GB Thor for 40 bucks from eBay.

Oddly, both consistently reboot themselves when screen auto-rotating on the most recent Fire Nexus ROM, but the CM11 ROM is fine. Now to unlock the bootloaders...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
[MENTION=7907328]Bawdy George[/MENTION] - Nexus 4.0.5 or Fire Nexus HDX? The former is marked "discontinued" in the thread title.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] - for awareness as Fire Nexus HDX (and/or CM 11) will likely stick around a bit longer for legacy SafeStrap v4 users who are unable to work through the bootloader unlock procedure.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Bawdy George:
I actually tried both. The older 4.05 worked, but I had Google Play store errors on that one I didn't feel like troubleshooting, especially since ggow released the newer kk-version which I knew was the one I should be using anyway. I assumed the reboots on screen rotation on that one were due to my error or that unit's hardware, but then it also happened on the second one. I'm pretty well-versed in Linux but this is my first foray digging into Android, and since I saw no reports of my issue I continue to assume it's a brain cramp on my part somewhere. And let me mention I have much respect for you guys here, since I do much troubleshooting of this type myself.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Hum - don't have an immediate explanation as SafeStrap/Nexus is a popular config with no history of spontaneous rotation reboots. As you are pursuing unlocking the bootloader (and presumably a newer ROM build) let's see how that plays out. There is a bootloader patch that addresses various hardware/kernel anomalies but that carries some risk and may not be required.
[Blu Pure XL] Robinho34:
Blu pure xl have or do not have FM radio? which can enable :eek:
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
None of the apps I've tried work; but the chipset has one included according to the specs Ive see.

I suspect that its like when I had the Nexus One; its chipset also included it but it was not "activated," it had to have a kernel that enabled it and app loaded to use it...

I wish there was more development for these phones...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanmeeks:
I have an S5 that when next to 3 other phones in my house receives no signal (data or cell). I have to walk completely outside and its still spotty. Could it have bad antennas? and if so is it just the wire antennas or is there another piece that receives signals?

Past history: stopped using this phone probably 8-12 months ago because of this problem and now just did a factory reboot and re register on the network. and up until the factory reboot the phone wouldn't even register itself on any network or connect to any service even though it showed signal bars. It would either start to make a call and long pause and hang up or just go straight to an "emergency calls only" pop up. When looking on the about phone and status page there wee no registration on the status page.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_lp:
Hey guys, a few days ago i tried to install the new marshmallow version, at first doesn't recognize other carriers sim although it was free. I tried to solve that flashing again the stock rom but nothing, after some tries the cell finally doesn´t recognize any sim even the iusacell sim (the carrier where i bought it) wasn´t work.

Please help, i was been looking for a case similar but only found threads similars with samsung devices, where said that the EFS folder was damaged or the IMEI is null.

The last that i found is entering into a mode (*#*#4636#*#*), phone info, and select radio band it must show a list with different radios and my 6045 doesn't show anything.

I hope this info can be useful for anyone and could help me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostSystemV2:
I had the same problem and it happened that my phone got un-unblocked so i had to go to a " plaza de la tecnologia" searching for someone with a sigmakey box to unlock it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_lp:
Thanks for answering, i thought in that but i wasn't sure if they know how to solve this, do you remember how much you pay for that? And it was exactly in that place or in the stores around there?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostSystemV2:
It cost 200 pesos, and it was in a local inside the plaza, it seems that the idol 3 versions of iusacell,nextel and unefon have the same problem with MM. I has to be unlocked by box because by imei or an online service doesn't function haha good luck, if you have more problems you can send me a message ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_lp:
Thanks really, i had been looking for a solution since 1 or 2 weeks. Only one more question, when i go there i need to tell something about what happened to my idol or only need that if he had the box and can free my smarphone?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostSystemV2:
Haha you can tell them that you need to unlock your phone by box, and if they have the sigmakey or furious gold box it's better, if they tell you that they can only unlock by imei code, it won't work, you can only unlock the phone by box. That's how I unlock mine.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] biglilsteve:
This thread could be total blasphemy...sorry in advance if it is!

I've bad my op3 for maybe 3 weeks and really like it. Performance is excellent and smooth. Battery life is great. Absolutely love Oxygen OS.

But the audio experience doesn't match what I had with my Nexus 6 and I believe I can see the limitations in the 1080p screen when zooming into photos that I have snapped. They don't look as crisp as the N6 when viewing close up, even though I know the op3 has a better camera.

The Axon 7 has a lot to offer at the same price point. Awesome audio experience, better screen, bigger battery (even if becomes a wash due to the better screen), expandable storage. What's not to love with regards to specs?

My only concerns are ZTE's UI and the bootloader. I don't have an issue running stock firmware if it is good. I have no desire to unlock or root my op3 because I'm completely satisfied with OOS. if ZTE's UI isn't good, I'm scared of being stuck with it.

Anyway that ended up being a longer post than I thought. But are there any op3 owners pondering the Axon 7?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
I'm satisfied with the Snapdragon 820's integrated DAC, and this is coming from someone who's accumulated thousands of dollars of audio equipment through the years.

I really don't care what my photographs look like on a phone's tiny 1080p screen. I edit and examine my photographs on my computer and the 4K television it outputs them to. I'm satisfied, as long as the phone takes great shots and film that are worthy for future preservation.

It is a little odd for you to post this on the OP3's XDA developer forum, if you're not one who commonly unlocks, roots, and contributes, besides the fact you seem unsatisfied with the phone. I don't think that you will find many people if any who would encourage to switch devices here.

In fact, I really dislike the ZTE brand, they are poor in updating their device's software, the quality control is poor, all three ZTE devices I've owned have suffered hardware failures, one as recent last month with my father's Axon. The developer community and customer service is poor as well. OnePlus has poor customer service, but developer community is among the best.

I wish you luck on your journey.
