[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RustyShackleford1950:
So I've bought an international S7 Edge and I'm aware that it's not from my country (Australia). It's of northern Africa / Middle Eastern origin, but it was new, and unlocked, so whatever I figure it should be the exact same in whatever region, just the firmware will be different.

I'd like to change the firmware to my own country so I can use a couple of things like Samsung Pay.

My current system is:

AP: G935FXXS1APG3 - PDA

CP: G935FXXU1APEQ - PHONE / MODEM

CSC: G935FOJV1APF1 - CSC

Model: SM-G935F

I've had a look at this thread detailing stock firmware installs.

That seems pretty straightforward, and I've looked up the firmware on this site: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/

(Is that site safe and acceptable for firmware?)

Is there anything else I need to do to swap from the north africa firmware to the australian firmware? Which seems to be PDA: G935FXXU1APF2

Do I just run odin and all my data and apps remain? Do I need to mess with modems or is that all included in the download link for the firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RustyShackleford1950:
One extra thing, with the stock firmware I just downloaded, I have the following files:

[IMG="Stock firmware zip list"]http://i.imgur.com/v6XT1uv.png[/IMG]

Why are there 2 CSC files? What's the difference between HOME_CSC and just plain old CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ati75:
If you were, as in this case, on a XSA firmware and use the home_csc file instead of the csc file, your device would not be reset. If you change your csc and/or use the csc file included in the firmware package your device will be reset. In your case the device would be reset no matter what, as you want to change your csc.

Will this rom works on HTC_D626q (a32ml_htc_Asia_TW)..

Really needs help guys .. :)
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talksickisil:
Im pretty sure the only way to do that is with s-off and supercid because the only way to flash is with the RUU. And that's dangerous if the desire 626q is very different than the 626s. So I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

[Sony Tablet S] Ogrelord2011:
I checked all the other threads on this and they don't seem to apply. I have an xperia s tablet that I really like. It was becoming slow so I finally decided it was time to root. Thanks Condi for the motochopper. I got it rooted successfully but then it was running too slow to be useable. I found a program to run that was supposed to rearrange the memory the way you defrag a computer drive. After running that the tablet would only turn on to the Sony logo. I did a factory reset a couple of times and now I can not turn on at all. I get the green charge light and I can get the red single blink when I do a reset but then when I press the power button I get the white light comes on and goes right back off. I tried with the up vol, down vol and no other keys but nothing. I have tried plugging into the computer and sometimes it sees a malfunctioning USB device and sometimes it sees nothing. I have run the xperia unbricker I found on here and it says waiting for device. I tried plugging it in with that program running but no luck. The only other post I found that was related the user said it was a motherboard failure. I'm not ready for that yet. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?

Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.

Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanbogo:
Can you show how It looks like?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hasenbein1966:
Why did you want the soft gold version in the first place? Looks like a phone for Russian girls anyway.

Get a normal one, problem solved.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Palauv:
See this -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtTeZvK7sJk you can notice.

For OP its personal preference! Like I have no problem regarding the border.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
i think almost all phone come in white color screen will have this issue (heck, even iphone), so i guess it's pretty normal....

would love to have black gold combo
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1ceb0x:
yeah... all the white phones have this as the screen that is active does not end where bezels start. That's why on black version is not noticeable even though it is there.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
this is why I don't buy phones that has a white front. I like em black :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
I noticed the same. I will return it as soon as my graphite version gets in the mail. The white screen makes this phone look like those cheap $60 chinese phones.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.

I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
It looked cleaner and elegant in the promotional pictures. The gold on it doesn't look girly. Shame for the white front though.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
I bought a full coverage glass screen protector is black in the front. Phone looks perfect now.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanbogo:
For me looks nice, question is why people can't check what they are buying, funny problem :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Because they might live in a country where they don't have access to do so.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gusano38:
I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone ;).

The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L :p.

Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Falkenhorst:
You're able to buy the phone but not to compare the different product pictures?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
No I couldn't as I live in Kashmir. My phone was purchased from Dubai by someone else.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Funny thing is I like the gold on the back, white front is not too flashy until you turn the display on. I'm using the phone on dark mode to hide the borders.

May be it's just OCD? no?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
Looks like you found the perfect phone since you can't notice anything wrong with the design.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
Online pictures are different from what you get actually.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanttii:
For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.

It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!

[MENTION=7540873]brickedvice[/MENTION] could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NizzleFish98:
I have an international G930F, baseband (G930FXXU1APEQ), build number (MMB29K.G930FXXS1APGC). I also have a version from the United Arab Emirates if that helps at all. I was recently looking at the TWRP page for the S7 and saw this warning:

"! IMPORTANT ! WARNING #3: It appears that an OTA is being distributed that may be partially flashing devices before checking if they are in an unofficial state. This could leave your device in a half flashed different version state! The message you may see after this is something about DRK verification failing from reports (no screenshot available), and the device WILL NOT BOOT even after flashing a full stock firmware package and wiping in stock recovery! No known solution has been found so far. Root or use custom images knowing this risk. (some have been quoted $250 for repair)"

Can someone shed light on exactly what this is and if I will be ok flashing TWRP? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BeatEmLikeLiam:
Hey all,

The other day I was out shopping and I accidentally dropped my phone face down on one of the metallic clothing posts that they have at stores. I have a pretty hefty set of protection on my phone, including a spigen case and a screen protector. It did not sustain any damage like cracks or dents thanks to the screen protector, but as a result my protector got completely destroyed and I had to take it off. The things that have popped up, however, are these three of four pixels that are currently stuck. One green, one red, and I think two blue. I have been trying a few of those apps that flash the bright colors on your screen for a couple hours at a time and no luck so far. I am going to try one overnight while my phone charges and I'll follow up with the results. Anything you guys could recommend to help me fix this?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Trevorlay:
My wife and I both have the T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s7 edge and both have a frozen blue pixel, I was able to fix mine with "dead pixel fixer"in the play store, but it hasn't worked on hers... Phones are only 2 months old, And both phones?? I don't know how to fix hers.. I'm glad it worked on mine but I'm not happy about hers!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzxi:
eventually i got new phone

but with UGLY hardware key (okay,, that's relative,, i know.. some people prefer hardware key the others are not,, navbar wise..)

the thing is

1. I can enable the soft navbar with cusrom.. i know it can enabled by build prop editing.. but that's great

2. I can disable hardware key with xposed additions

3. I can disable hadrkey light using an app

4. I try to disable haptic feedback in hardkey,, but i can't find any xposed module to do that.. the Additions have options to enable it when haptic accidentally disabled,, but not the reverse..

anyone know modules to disable that haptic in hardkey?? not all haptic in phone like the app i've found..

best is if any module will do that all above..

lol

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morganmachine91:
I bought a Nexus 6p about 3 months ago off of amazon.com. It said it came with the 12 month US warranty. It's actually my second 6p, the first one was stolen from me, and because of the ****ty experience I had with getting nexus protect the first time and finding out I wasted my money and that it doesn't cover theft, I opted not to buy the phone from the play store and get nexus protect again.

I take damn good care of this phone because I know I don't have nexus protect. I'm talking a case, always the only thing in whatever pocket it's in, etc. I've already paid full price for this phone twice and I'm way too broke to do it again.

So today when I was on my break at work, I did what I always do and went and sat in my car and browsed reddit on my phone. Nothing fishy, battery was at like 80 percent. After my break, I put my phone in my locker (under my clothes so I wouldn't accidentally knock it out when I got dressed at work) and went back to work for like 3 more hours.

After getting off work, I got dressed, put my phone in my pocket and drove home. When I got home though I realized that even though the phone would vibrate and make the unlock sound when I put my finger on the fingerprint scanner, the screen wouldn't come on. I thought maybe it was a battery issue and plugged it in using the charger it came with (the only one I ever use), and waited, restarted the phone, still nothing.

After about an hour of this I downloaded the most recent factory image (mtc20f) and flashed, but still nothing. No display in the bootloader or recovery either. I used <adb reboot-bootloader> and <fastboot devices> to make sure I was in the bootloader, but nothing ever showed on the phone screen.

My searching isn't showing anyone else with the problem. The phone is flawless aside from .5 centimeter scratch on the back from when I leaned up against something sharp with it in my pocket before my case arrived in the mail and a tiny ding in the bezel on the top of the phone that I honestly have no idea where it got. I can't find any mention of anyone else having this issue, though, and I'm really worried that they're going to try to say that I damaged the phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Sounds to me like a faulty display. I highly doubt you'd have any trouble getting warranty on this if it's in as good shape as you say it is.
[Moto X Q&A] theraffman:
I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue for months and finally have decided to reach out and see if I can get some additional insight.

My wife had upgraded from her 2013 motox about a year and a half ago and it has been just sitting in a drawer until a few months ago. I pulled it out a while back thinking of using it as a music player for the kids, well I booted it up and it will literally force close random apps constantly, to where the moment I click away another pops up, lots of Gapps crashes but everything from alarm clock to youtube, system apps and downloaded apps, if I am fast (and lucky) enough I can navigate through the phone like a snail in molasses... Well, this is just the beginning, in addition to the FC issue, any changes I make to anything on the phone will not stay changed... I have uninstalled just about every downloaded app and disabled just about every system app and they all come back or become enabled again. Even managed to delete a few gigs of photos off it while connected to my pc and... after a reboot, they are back.:crying:

I don't recall using rockmymoto or anything on her phone (Its on 4.4.4), I am still using my moto x and I did all that on mine but never hers... Yet I am unable to reboot to recovery, just fastboot also her phone doesn't load the adb drivers and only shows as a MTP usb device while my MotoX shows as XT1058 and the ABD interface.

I have tried flashing stock firmware via RSD Lite and manually thru Fastboot, I've done 4.4.4 and 5.1.x and each time I have no issue flashing the entirety of the packages but when it reboots its still has all her data and all the force closes... Also tried the in phone factory reset (in regular mode and safe mode) and I can click the "Erase everything" button but it doesn't proceed.

It's driving me freaking insane! When she stopped using it, it was fine, no issues whatsoever and I am incredibly confused at how it got this way while just sitting in a cupboard drawer. I have had over a dozen Android phones, all rooted and flashed, I consider myself a pretty competent user, i've baked my own roms and compiled cm(7) from source and even unbricked a few devices here and there for friends and family but this is literally got me stumped.

Really hoping someone out there sees this, has had a similar issue and maybe has some good new for me. :confused:

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gainstatom:
Hey guys. So I have an At&t samsung galaxy s7 edge which had a defected screen, so At&t is sending me a certified like new device which is apparently run through samsung itself. I was wondering because I heard that when you repair the phone or stuff like that, the water resistance feature will no longer be available. Is this true? because I used the feature a lot but I'm afraid that the certified like new device that is coming in will not have the feature due to repairs. And also can you guys share your experience with me on certified like new or refurbished phones? Thanks!

Since this Android TV does not have Settings app... in case you are stuck:

To clear data:

adb shell pm clear "packageName"

To enable system apps:

adb shell pm enable "packageName"

Package Name for Google Play Services is "com.google.android.gms"

Package Name for Google Services Framework is "com.google.android.gsf"

Package Name for Google Play Store is "com.android.vending"

Package Name for Download Manager is "com.android.providers.downloads"

To clear Dalvik cache:

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r /cache/dalvik-cache

To bypass Setup Wizard:

Tap four corners of screen starting from top-left corner then top-right corner and so on...

You're welcome. I'm thinking that this is French. I used Google Translate. Well, about Google Play Store... This TV model is really outdated now... I can't find any Google Services version now that will work for this TV. The solution is just to sideload everything.

About rooting, I tried KingoRoot, King Root, any quick rooting apps works here. However, these kind of rooting apps contains a lot of ads and bloatwares.

No worries. But for that question, I am sorry I do not know the answer. I have a very little knowledge about hardware. However, in my own point of view, its better to buy or use a TV box rather than replacing the motherboard.

May I understand your instruction on installing Google services on Android TV is meant to be for a rooted TV ? That is to say, I need to Root or no root required ? I just owned a TCL China Android TV and since google services are blocked. This is something that i need to try out.

Not necessarily root. You can apply it even without root.

I do have a question. I can't edit "system" on Total Commander, even having adb root enabled. I can paste stuff on the root folder but system is not letting me place files, create folders or anything.

Nevermind, I just noticed that you need to mount system as RW to edit it. There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.

i'm sorry for the late reply... and i'm sorry I really can't answer your question... i have a different setup now... i bought SHIELD and its working for me... no more hassle... no more working around... the bad news for almost all android tv is that they almost come with OS or android version that they set up.... and its fixed.. no more updates... and also the apps are limited... it is just how they programmed it... thats why you need to workaround with it just to sideload apps...
