[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ubermanr:
every now and then while experimenting new roms one either brick his phone or loses all their secure files like nvram and etc

either way you have lost your imei which is the sole reason that you can use your sim

well if you find yourself in this situation and have a phone with a mediatek processor then don't worry i got you

so all you need is your firmware,sp flash tools,SN writer and of course drivers

so what you need to do is install your drivers (cdc is a tough one you can find other posts in xda itself for installing it)

then just for heck of it because you cant be sure that you have the same firmware as the one you downloaded use sp flash tools

to flash the firmware (use firmware upgrade option or format+download option i prefer the latter)after you are done flashing

open SN writer and go to settings and choose your ap_db and md1_db now the trick to this is if you have two apdb and md1db then you have to find out which one is the correct by trail and error if not,you lucky dawg if nothing else works turn on auto gen option

in identify and keep on trying till your phone gives up and trust me it will give up

p.s i am new at this so like go easy on me

p.s p.s i will upload some pictures in the near future

Hi guys!

I need your help!

I wanna convert my app FakeGPS (paid version) to an system app.

I tried using apps like system app mover, and ES File Explorer, Link2SD, ect. (yes my phone is rooted)

but every time I try to convert the app and restart my phone the app is disappeared, and I have tried couple of times.

Sorry for the English it's not my home language.

Thanks in advance!
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I was to turn in my phone (Sony Xperia Z1 compact) for a warranty issue (battery acting up). The guy in the store told me there would be a factory reset at the service point so I went home, used the built in Sony approved "Backup & Restore" app (with current experience - DO NOT USE IT!!!). To be safe I created 3 different restore points (just in case) and stored to my SD card. I backed up everything, contact list, messages, photos etc using the sony app. To be extra safe I did install the google + app to backup my contact list (wich of course also failed, it only backup up 6 of my ~500 contacts, don´t ask me why).

Got the phone back today. Battery replaced (nice!). Software upgraded - Didn´t ask for that but lets see. Went home. Popped in my SD card with my restore points, selected to restore and got the message: "Cannot restore - Selected backup records cannot be used du to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file". After searching the internet and spending an hour chatting with the sony support it seems I´m pretty much screwed. That (useless) app appears to ONLY be working if used on the exact same phone model with the exact same OS version.

The guy at Sony tells me that the only way to handle this is to unlock the boot loader wich will void my warranty. I asked if it was possible to just pull the contacts and messages from the backup file but no, according to him that app stores the backup up stuff in a non-typical way wich is impossible to reach unless you have the correct version on the phone.

It seems like there are a lot of smartheads in this forum, does anyone have an idea on how to either pull the vital data from the backup or any other idea? The boot loader unlock option is not very tempting since it will void my warranty, not give me automatic updates in the future and on top of that there is a risk I´ll screw up my phone for good.

As a last comment, it would have been nice if the App informed you about the fact that it would only work on the same OS-version, that would for sure have made me think twice and made at least one backup using another system but no. I found threads about this as early as december 2013, still users will continue to loose all their data. A simple popup with that information would save a lot of people a lot of headache.

Dear friends

I succeeded in flashing my device with wm6 (TNT 1933) yesterday

till now I found no troubles except:

1- the side button that control the volume does nothing ??

2- less important, the ringtones of the old phone and jig are not found with this version

so can anyone help me

best regards
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] scousemartin:
i would see what software you are installing as i have exactly the same rom on my wizard and the slider volume works fine. Try uninstalling some apps and soft resetting to see if it can be used, then you will find what program is causing the problem. If that doesnt work i would just reflash it again.

As for the default sounds they were crap anyway, so why bother lol

[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
So, one thing that really bugs me about this watch, which may just be how it is supposed to work, is the apps close themselves. For example, I use the timer app a lot at the gym, I'll open it up, do whatever exercise until it's rest time then I'll look at my watch and it's back on the time, I have to go launch the app again... This is REALLY inconvenient and annoying, especially if its an app that takes a couple screen scrolls to get to in the apps list.

I have the double-press the home button set to open the timer, so it's not too bad for that app at least.

Does this happen for everyone else? Or is there something wrong with my watch?
[Samsung Gear S2] Sonin66:
Sounds pretty normal to me. I know when I'm about to send a message bUT isn't complete, it will for the most part be right there when I turn the watch back on or go into the app. You already have the double tap menu button which goes to the last app you were in so you should be good
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] alexcaste81:
Verizon HTC One M8 - Deleted OS, can't access TWRP, & Phone isn't recognized by Compu

I used Sunshine to make my Android have "S-Off" and had TWRP installed. I then accidentally deleted the OS and my phone will only either go to the HTC white screen or the Bootload screen. Also, the USB isn't recognizing my Android as a phone, but it's recognizing it as "Android 1.0" and HTC Android Interface. I am a complete noob when it comes to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is completely stuck on the Bootloader page and was only responding to SD card.

[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Most of those Chinese Gaming phones have spotty 3G phone support and none so far support 4G LTE. The Snail W3D was going to be the first the change that, but it's all but disappeared since it's release was delayed almost a year ago. In any case, be aware that using these as a phone may not be possible depending on your carrier and they only work with GSM networks if at all.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I got two phones just stashed in a place, instead of collecting dust I thought it could be better if I could experiment and much better try to revive it. The two phones are Lenovo A800 (full specs are in GSMarena) they have pretty low specs with 512MB ram and 1.65 user-available free space.

Here are their statuses:

Phone 1 is able to charge and show that it is charging, but can't boot up or reach even in the logo splash screen. I tried reflashing a clean room using the SP Flash Tool, but nothing changed. I am now suspecting that the power button is broken.

Phone 2 works. It can boot properly but is bombarded by "Unfortunately app has stopped" messages". Could it be that apps of today has finally beaten the phone itself? I looked at the free space, only ~30MB is free out of 1.7GB.

Are there any ways or chances to bring the phones back to service?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisthat:
Hi guys,

Finally upgrading my i9300 after 4 years of constant reflashing, rom and kernel fiddling and lots of fun, but its s5 SM-G900F time.

What I'm looking for:

Stability - I need all barebone stock features to work 100% - Camera, Phone, Cell Data, Wifi, GPS etc, the standard hardware stuff. No crashing and force closing and other problems associated with highly custom roms.

Performance - I'm looking for a performance upgrade over stock

Debloat - A ROM that comes without all the bull****. Stripped down to barebones where I can choose what I want.

Some of my favourites for my s3 have been Slimbean, Archidroid, CM11, and many others over the years that have been focused on my requirements above. I dont need anything fancy and feature packed, just fast, stable and consistent. Preferably lollipop but MM might be ok too, unsure of performance at this point..

I've tried researching but there are really just so many ROMs out there. A couple that have interested me are XtreSto Lite, SlightRom and Sixperiance, but i'm really hoping you guys can steer me in a more focused direction. Hope you can help!

Thanks!

After i got this, i installed 4.4.4 CM11 ROM on it. Now i tryed to restore firmware version to get 4.2.1 JB on it but no life marks :( . It doesn't charge and won't turn on even, when battery is fully charged. I tryed all chargers and old battery. NOTHING. Even other forums didn't helped me.

I hope i get fixed it soon because i don't have money yet to buy new one.

Does this break root? Anyone know please respond asap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] blulite:
Anyone try it out yet? I'm betting it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
It almost can't break the root exploit as the kernel that comes with this firmware isn't even the one you are rooting with. Since you flash a legitimate Samsung kernel to the phone, it has no bearing on blocking it.

If they did block it, they would have blocked the ability to flash the engineering kernel (which is highly unlikely) and other legitimate kernels like the one that comes with this update. It just makes little sense that this will "patch" the root method since there's nothing to really "patch".

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] AliciaLeighB:
I have an LG Stylo H634. I've tried everything to bypass the frp lock. I've exhausted all the options I've found online. Everything everyone else has been able to try to bypass the frp lock on the LG Stylo H634 and LG phones alike, who were successful, but for some reason, all those methods they were able to successfully use, aren't available to me on this particular phone (story of my life, no joke). I don't know what it is. I've tried to access "update word suggestions" that option is literally UNAVAILABLE, like it isn't even listed in the phone anymore (it used to be though). I've tried the "Motor & Cognition" "press & hold" Home button, that didn't work (nothing happened). I've tried "TalkBack>Settings", "settings" option is grayed out. I've tried "Overview 'KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN" button, that didn't work. I've tried flashing with .tot and .dll files with several flashing tools. I've tried "toolbypass" tools. I've tried everything I can find, and literally nothing works. Is there anything that you can think of that you can share with me that might help me in this situation. I don't know what else to do. It's so frustrating because I've literally been at this for several months. This is getting out of hand. I mean, something that's so simple for someone else, is for some reason being so difficult for me. I've never had this many problems with technology. So if you can please at your earliest convenience, post anything that you may find helpful. And please, if you're trying to sell your services, I'm totally good on that. I don't send money to complete strangers with faith that you won't take my money and run. I mean, if I was willing to pay money to have this done for me, don't you think I would take the phone to a professional to have it fixed? Common sense. Anyways, thanks for any helpful tips and for trying. I appreciate it. And anyone that has a successful solution, I will be sure to let you know how grateful I am if any of your suggestions were successful. I will never be able to thank you enough. :D

Hello XDA Team,

so to get exactly to the thing I try since 5 hours of searching and trying. I had Cyanogenmod installed on a Z3 (D6603) and wanted to flash is back to an original pre rooted Firmware. Stupid as I am flashed it with the ZIP for Z1 (C6603) because I didn't though about it much and overread it and then Wiped the Cache. After the "reboot" nothing showed up. Now I'm getting nothing, literally nothing. Screen doesn't show anything, no LED, and my PC cant find the phone. Already tried to reinstall the drivers from Flashtool.

To summarize: I cant get into Fastboot nor Flashmode but I can turn it "on" and shutdown with the Yellow Button.

I really just need to get into Flashmode to flash it with Flashtool.

Hope someone can help me, send a link to a thread I overlooked or say that I got a hardbrick.

you need to reinstall the samsung drivers on your computer then plug in your phone, open smart switch and follow instructions.

Previously your phone installed the drivers, since you have a problem with your phone, you need to install the driver on your computer to recognize the phone not the other way around.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Caezer99:
I have actually encountered this before.

Just do this:

• Hold Power & Volume Down until the phone turns off ( assuming that there is no way for you to battery pull )

• Immediately without letting go of the Power & Volume Down button, press the home button as well.

• If the timing is not correct just retry.

Once you can get into download mode, you don't need the samsung software anymore. Just go online and find your default stock rom & bootloader etc and flash em'
