Of course you can. Just boot your phone into fastboot and do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name>.IMG" and you'll flash it. And you can't access the adb because your screen is locked... This is how companies prevent phone hacking :)

So flash custom recovery, backup the /data , factory reset and after resetting restore the /data backup. And you're good to go. I suggest you using TWRP, because I use it and it never left me hanging ;) Keep me updated.

Install TWRP or CWM with fastboot and then flash the Unlock me! zip that I've created and you won't lose your data.

Didn't know that such package existed... I'd still do it my way if your phone was laggy/corrupted,... Else do the package flash. Keep me updated!

Thanks! a lot, could you please guide me a little bit, how should I proceed?

Thanks! a lot for reply,:D As I am still a newbie and trying to learn few things. Could you please guide me how should I proceed?:o

Like What files I need to download and from where? Also how should I use these files to install recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] MGlolenstine:
OK... So first boot into fastboot. When you've done that, connect It to your pc with usb, download fastboot package from somewhere on xda(you'll find it).

Open command prompt "CD" to the directory where your fastboot is located in, put recovery image in the folder where fastboot.exe is and type "fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.IMG". I'm gonna update this answer in 2 days, when I get to my pc, so try to do it by these instructions, if something isn't working, comment and we'll resolve the problem. If something isn't clear, just ask. Keep me updated. :)

I signed up for amazon prime free trial because I really wanted to buy the phone for $60 but each time I try to check out the price is $109 for the one loaded with amazon ads what gives? To anyone who got it at that low price from Amazon, what did you do? Do i have to be a paid member? any input would be of great help thanks :D
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jatan1986:
You need to be a paid Prime member to get the discounted ads version of BLU R1 or Moto G4

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jrk190:
Wait a sec, that's not quite true, unless I read this wrong. I signed up for a prime trial, bought the r1, then told it not to continue my trial, no purchases for prime at all.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] JShan:
I'm a "shared" Prime member, and I got the $59 price for the 2gb/16gb model. But that was on Prime day, so maybe that's not available any more to non-paid Prime members?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
No, people who share a prime account are not eligible to buy this phone at the prime price.

Oh, and if you don't sign up for prime at the end of your trial, you will be charged the price difference - the amount that you saved.

You did make a prime purchase - the phone! A prime purchase is anything you bought from amazon that got either prime shipping or prime pricing.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] xda45:
I ordered mine about a week ago and was having the same issue with the price increasing at check out. The workaround that I used was going to the bottom of Amazon's R1 HD page and ordering the phone using Amazon's frequently bought together (phone + case) items and then deleting the case in the shopping cart. I was able to checkout with the Prime price that way and I am on the free Prime trial.

Let us know if that works for you :)
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] rodrigian:
So just to clear things up, by doing this the final checkout price was $ 60? Not 110 + a $ 50 gift card? Im not from the us, so I don't want to stick to a subscription I won't use
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] xda45:
Yes, I just rechecked and it still comes through at $59.99 with the trial Amazon Prime membership when you add both phone and case through Amazon's frequently bought together link but removing the case when you check out.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] JAhab:
Can confirm that the case option works when on a mobile device.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] _AI_:
Does that mean that if I convert to a paid prime member that the gift card will go on top of the $60 price, making it $10?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jatan1986:
Doubt it -- either you're getting $50 instant prime discount upfront or you qualify for $50 GC later if paying full price
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ninjosh97:
Just bought it using the "frequently purchased together" method for $60 with a prime free trial (student one for 6mo). I mean... it's not like they can come back and charge me the extra... right?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Ramic43:
Read the fine print, I went ahead and bought one using a friends paid membership. Amazon will charge all of you who bought with the free trial of primethe price diffference sooner or later.....
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
My previous Amazon Fire phone bit the dust, I have had so many customer support and tech requests on that phone, I wonder if I could convince them to sell me another 16/2 at $60?? They pride themselves on customer service (hint of sarcasm) but I wonder if it's worth a try
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
If you don't keep paid amazon prime for at least 3 months, amazon will either take back or charge you the $50 discount that you got on the phone. It's right there in the prime agreement - read the fine print.

A lot of people who signed up for the prime trial just to buy the phone and then cancelled are going to get a surprise! And buying the phone counts as a prime purchase, so you did use your prime benefits. It's not like amazon hadn't anticipated situations like this.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonduffy:
Does the same thing to me too. I'm also curious if there's a answer to this
[Verizon LG G3] simpson1190:
A couple days ago I got a g3. Immediately I let it to the Ota updates not thinking that perhaps thes latest might root able.

I found one thread with instructions to downgrade, root, and then flash 6.0. Didn't work. The lg flash tool and LG up never worked. It always said unknown device.

I found the king root app. It rooted my stock MM temporarily. So I used twrp manager to try and flash twrp. The end result was a black screen with the led blinking. I could not boot into any recovery.

So then I followed guides to uunbrick and return to stock but no success. The lg pc tool didn't recognize/connect to my phone. However I got adb working. At any I, I still download the LG drivers again, different versions of lg tool and downloaded firmware from different sources. Same result, didn't flash and left with blank recovery.

So then I thought twrp could be flashed with fast boot. Found a guide that had me delete download mode to allow access to fast boot.

I was able to get into fast boot fine but wasn't able to flash a recovery or any image. And now I can't figure out how to get download mode back. The download mode image is backed up on SD card but I can't flash it.

Otherwise the phone works fine. I can't do a factory reset or get into any recovery.

I believe I deleted the recovery partition at some point.

Now I doubt care about root but I do care if I have the ability to factory reset.

Any help? I've looked at many guides on unbrickibg, flashing and so forth. If you have advice please be specific.

Only other thing to mention is I am using a Windows 10 laptop when a computer is needed.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh boy. I apologize that I probably don't have anything useful to suggest. Almost anything I would think of requires Download mode.

When you plug the phone into the PC, what does it show up as in Windows' Device Manager in the Port section? "LGE..." something or "QHSUSB_BULK 9008"? If the latter, you might be able to use special drivers and BoardDiag for Windows to recover - it'll use the 10B TOT so have that on hand if that's the case, plus Google "QHSUSB_BULK" to find the program, drivers and instructions.

If it's not in QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode, you may be able to force it into that mode. I've never had to, but there's a thread in the General section for that. I think it's the one that mentions "hard brick" and/or "test point", and requires at least a very slight disassembly of the back of the phone, and shorting two specific electrical contacts.
[Verizon LG G3] simpson1190:
Thanks for your input. I will look into the things you suggested and report my findings. Taking the phone apart and shorting out wires seems dangerous.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sure man, good luck! I notice you have two threads going on, the other about a G3 you're going to get this week? Just confirming that either you're dealing with two separate G3s or your replacing this one with the other one.
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
I haven't activated my vs985k with the carrier yet, as I've been thinking that I should root it first to avoid another OTA messing things up even more than is the case with 57A.

I've been collecting the software tools to run on my laptop, but don't have it all lined up yet.

Anyway the idea has crossed my mind that when I activate a rooted phone that they might refuse to activate a rooted phone. So a catch 22 situation if that's the case.

Any thoughts or stories out there about this kind of situation?

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't heard one way or the other. I doubt if you'd have trouble activating while rooted, but it's been almost two years since my wife and I activated our G3s and my VK810 4G LG G Pad 8.3, and they were all activated while 100% stock.

Hi

I have a rooted Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (t0lte I think) running Samsung Stock software 4.4.2. I have previously installed various version of CyanogenMod and Ditto Note, and somewhere along the line have lost my GPS functionality! :(

I have tried reflashing the modem and every GPS fix app that I've seen suggested on forums. From my research, I believe the NV Rebuild method is what I need to do in order to fix the problem. However when I access the hidden dialer menu and select NV Rebuild it tells me "Not Support in Custom Binary!"

As I mentioned, I am running stock Samsung software, not a custom ROM. The phone is rooted, and I do have a few Xposed modules installed. I also used Triangle Away and my bootloader shows the device status as Samsung Official. It also showed Official in settings when I tried to run the NV Rebuild.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get around this? Do I need to completely unroot my phone and reflash a vanilla copy of Samsung 4.4.2 before it will work, or is there a workaround to make the service menu read my phone as official and run the NV Rebuild?

Any thoughts or ideas would be HUGELY appreciated as this issue has been driving me mental! (Please let me know if you need further information and I will try to provide it ASAP)

Thanks in advance! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] schn1tt3r:
I am interested in this too. Samsung has the worst icons and kid-like colors. Coming from HTC, I can't stand the TouchWiz theme. I was forced to install Nova launcher, but I would like settings to be themed aswell. I saw a screenshot of someone's modified settings theme and I think he, too, claimed he used Xposed. I have Xposed installed, but I don't know what to search for in Xposed to have my settings change color. He had a 'double row' mod that also changed the skin. Anyone know how?

[General Questions and Answers] chronicc:
So day before yesterday my dads phone asus zenfone 2 (Z00AD) went into bootloop. it kept booting repeatedly never making it to the home screen. anyway, he took it to asus repair and we got the phone back today. its back to normal but all data is lost. (We had not backed up anything) I downloaded a few android data recovery softwares like mobikin and dr fone but they require the android to be rooted to scan for lost data.

Now my question is, do you think its possible to recover data once the phone has been flashed? I am apprehensive to do the rooting and will only go ahead with it if there is a real chance some lost data may be recovered through such android data recovery softwares.

Please advise. Should I go ahead and root and give it a try?

thank you so much in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
You should have backed up before taking it the center(you could have flashed a custom recovery and enable mtp mode and backed up to pc).after a stock ROM is flashed chances of recovery is almost nill.

Just one question, why did you take it down to the shop? It is easy as hell to fix a bricked device.

Also, if there is root availible for your device, there are stock rom images to flash via fastboot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmessier8888:
Hi guys

I know this topic has been mentioned a lot for samsung phones but I had a different question.

My Note 4 is rooted and the fast charging feature worked until a few days ago.

Whenever I plug in the charger I get no notification and charging is slow as heck.

I tried different cables and chargers that are indeed for fast charging.

The usb plug is pushed in all the way and fast charging is checked in the battery setting

However I did notice some message at the bottom of the screen when I connected the charging cable

it is: "brBatteryChanged onReceive() - No Value for"

Would this have anything to do with it?

Is there a value I can change by going into the system files?

Worth a shot to ask thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
There is a chance that the fast charging files on your device maybe corrupted. I'd recommend reinstalling the stock firmware back onto your device to see if that will fix the problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmessier8888:
Could i just reinstall the fast charging files?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmessier8888:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
I honestly have no idea where the files are store in the internal memory of the device. But I have a feeling that they are probably store in a hidden partition somewhere that is usually inaccessible to users.
