[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablohr9:
I tried 3. The oldest the newest and one of the middle. I flashed them with the Nexus root toolkit and with the command prompt. I really don't know what is the problem.

Did you fix your Nexus 5? Because I read that could be a issue with the power botton. I am wondering if the N5x has the same issue?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsayling:
Looks like this is a common issue at the moment.

I'm in the same boat. I can get to the bootloader screen, no issue. But if I try going into recovery mode, or standard boot. It just loops on the google logo (or sometimes just sits there at the logo for an hour).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojesa:
I posted the issue on LG USA Mobile Facebook page. I received a message: "In order for us to address your concerns, we ask that you please send us a private message. Thank you for reaching out to us. "

I suggest anyone with the same issue do the same. That way people are aware of this issue. If I knew before hand I would not have got the Nexus 5X.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojesa:
I was able to get the Nexus 5x working again.

I downloaded the ROM that matched this line from the Android Recovery screen.

6.0.1/MTC19Z/2996059

I first downloaded and installed the ADB USB drivers adb-setup-1.4.3 as administrator, saying yes Y to all prompts.

I created the folder C:\nexus and placed the ROM on that folder.

On the Nexus 5X Android Recovery screen I selected “Apply Update from ADB” .

At this point I attached a USB cord between PC and phone.

At the Command Prompt I entered: adb sideload c:\nexus\bullhead-ota-mtc19z-b4cfce2c.zip (here replaced the section in bold with the name of your ROM).

When the update finished I selected the line “Reboot system now".

Voila! Phone is back to life.

"Okay Google",

Being a admirer of google i went into buying Nexus 5X as my smartphone. As this model was relatively costly i had many objections from friends and family. Still i insisted for the same "LG Google Nexus 5X".

Previously i had heating issues with the new phone. but the service centre guy said it will heat "abit"(i know that was not bit) as it is a smartphone.I had to keep the new phone in charging for hours and that two three times a day.

Against all the odds i was in favour of google as it sounded good to tell people which phone i had, But the people who saw me always looking for charging plug knew what i was going through.

Currently i am facing the reboot loop issue, my phone keeps on rebooting. I went to the one where i bought the phone.The guy said it requires a software update and nothing else. I had heard of the peoples having such issues worldwide and i was worried about the solution. So i had sent my phone to the LG's Service Centre their the person said if only software update is required then it will cost around 350 INR else we will let you know. So after a long wait and contacting the service centre their i finally had a talk with them and they said it seem to be a PCB problem and costsaroung 11000 INR. Hearing the figure was a shock!

I don't know what to do with the situation as my phone doesn't have the warranty. Please help me as this is a HUGE amount to spent to repair a phone.

Hello

I'm buying HTC 10 or Note 7 for someone (depends on Note 7 availability) and the whole USB Type C and Quick Charge mess is confusing me.

I've always been an Apple guy so I know little about Android, but I've been reading and people say you could only use certain cables, chargers have to be quick charge approved or whatever, Google engineers warned against quick charge, someone got his phone fried i think and lots of weird things :confused::confused:

The person im buying the phones for is an elder, he has Samsung S5 and whenever his cable breaks or charger stop working he buys any cable and charger from 3rd party, can i safely buy him HTC 10 for example knowing cheap cables or chargers won't fry his phone?

I know people say stick with OEM but like i said hes kinda of an old school guy and even if i tell him to only buy OEM he won't care and may buy any cable that will destroy his phone

Or should i avoid these phones all together for now as it is for someone who is not tech-savvy, and buy anything with normal microUSB?

Anyone here has HTC 10 or LG 5 (any phone with type C + quickcharge) and used it with 3rd party cables/chargers? does it work normally?

and thanks
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBR89:
Hello everybody.

This evening I did factory reset on my Nvidia Shield Tablet, so I flashed a stck recovery image (android version 4.4.2).

But after upgrading to Lollipop 5.1.1 an upgrade of about 12 mb appeared,

so I flashed it but now the device is stuck in black screen and doesn't

give any sign of life anymore.

I tried with power button+volume down and nothing happened; neither just pushing power button.

Is there a solution or is it bricked without chances of saving it?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafester:
Sounds like the kill switch to me. Did you read that thread in general? Is it a recall tablet?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBR89:
It's not a recall tablet, I never had any kind of problem before.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafester:
Well the kill switch is 12mb and it does exactly as you described. Did you buy it new?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBR89:
No, I bought this used but it was on perfect hardware conditions: I really never had a problem before this happening. I never wanted to update Shield because i like KK very much, but after I changed idea and update it to lollipop at first; everything

worked fine, but the "ST - YY" appeared and after flashing looks like dead. No signs of life detected, apart from the charging led.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isira:
It doesn't matter. The previous owner registered the tablet for replacement as part of a recall process. As soon as the previous owner turned on the new tablet replacement and connected it to the internet, it informed NVIDIA that the replacement was received and flagged the tablet you now own to be killed remotely.

The remote kill is built into all ROMs since version 3.1. Unless someone took steps to remove the remote kill, the tablet would eventually be killed. At this time, there is absolutely no way to revive it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBR89:
I just talked with the guy who sold me Shield, and said he never called for a replacement. Don't think that I don't trust You, but I only wanted to contact hin for better informations
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafester:
He's lying to you, or he got it from someone who lied to him.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBR89:
He also told me that he sold it in perfect conditions and in effect it was very perfect, updated to the last version of the tablet at that time (i think it was 4.0.1 update). After that I reinstalled the stock firmware.

However I think too he's lying to me.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafester:
First thing to do with any og shield is check recall status with data turned off.

Hi,

I have just had my Orange Branded HTC TYTN 2 arrive (Think that its called the Kaiser) and I am looking at getting rid of all the horrible Orange branding stuff as its slows the phone right down and just looks ugly. Now, what I flashed the utility on my device (cant remeber the name but its the file that is needed before any flash is done is that helps) so now what do I do? I have downloaded the HTC rom but that is way below the version that is on my phone already (1.81) so that is where I am .. is there anything that I can do?

Thanks

Scott
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sherpa:
If you feel brave, you can dump your current ROM, use the kitchen, strip it down, and flash it back. Also, just because the ROM version is lower does not mean the ROM is inferior. HTC ROM worked great for me but I moved to helmic's custom ROM because it was more stripped down.

what do you think?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] benl2k:
You have sim-locked the phone. With the Orange phones you are only supposed to flash the OS ROM. Flashing the radio ROM results in sim locking the phone so even your Orange sim card won't work. Lucky for you apparently you can get it unlocked by paying one of the guys on here £25. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=orange+sim+lock

Or as the advice above , this forum is littered with threads on problems flashing Orange phones , shame someone did not advise you of this . Still get it unlocked and you are free from all that Orange Cr*p and its Network lock
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Maarten_0031:
You should have read the sticky's on top of this forum first. Then you would have known you need to run Hard SPL first. I've done the same and have no problems with my rom.

You could still try flashing it with hard SPL and then again flash with a rom of your taste, but I can't garantuee it will work...

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Attrezzo Pox:
This looks like a fun hackaday post. It's almost making me want to pull my unit to take a few photos for future study.

I'm interested in the amp equipment. The preamp is weak in my RK3188. They claim 45wX4 or whatever but their own specs are that that's max but you begin to clip and introduce noise at only 16w! That's "12" on the volume dial.

It looks like the RCA outputs are low line outputs but they have them going to headrest tvs in the pictorial. I'm going to assume I can just take those and run them to a proper amp and get better sound quality out of this system.

Anyway, it'd be nice to know what electronics are doing the lifting. Right now if I crank it above about 12 I start to notice significant signal degradation in the highs. They get all fuzzy and just sound yukky.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] DanB0y:
Do you happen to know at what volume the RCAs start to clip ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Attrezzo Pox:
Not sure. Is suspect they don't the high output is a function of the internal amp. I believe if you use the preamp outputs you bypass all of that.

I dug a little deeper and my biggest issue WAS bluetooth. If I used AirPlay/DLNA Receiver to stream over wifi the majority of the distortion goes away.

It's back to acceptable.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] DanB0y:
Ok thanks. Im using an external USB DAC with Neutron audio player (sounds absolutely awesome) with spdif out to my DSP but wanted to level-match the RCA outouts of the HU in my MiniDSP so Bluetooth telephone and FM Radio sounds as loud as the DAC... Best thing would be to be able to hear every single sounds of the Head Unit on the USB DAC, but so far only apps that use their own USB drivers are working.. (Neutron, USB Audio Player Pro, Hiby, Denon, etc)

I think its a Kernel issue.. USB Audio seems to be disabled on it. ?

[Elephone P8000] flo1k:
Hi,

2 weeks ago I got my P8000 from the german elephone distribution, it came with android 6. It seems to be an other version of the phone, the fingerprint sensor has moved up near the camera.

So my problem is, that I can't find a working rom for this device. I tried to root the phone and after that it did not boot anymore, so I tried to flash the 6.0 stock rom but the screen is white with moving stripes.

Where can I get a working rom for my phone?
[Elephone P8000] flo1k:
Nobody with a new version phone who could take a dump for me? :(
[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
I think you should ask elephone (on facebook or some other social medias) for a dump, I don't see any chances that there are many people out there that own the 2016 version... :/
[Elephone P8000] flo1k:
I wrote to the elephone facebook contact but they just pointed me to the BBS with the not working 'old' Rom file.

So if I could get another new P8000 would it be easy to take a dump oft it and flash it to my phone?
[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
I think you won't have to buy a new device, just point out to them that, that rom on the forum is for the old version and it's not working for your's. I hope they'll provide it for you.

[Elephone P8000] flo1k:

[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
I'm guessing thats just a kernel problem, right? The drivers in the kernel?
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
P8000B is almost impossible to brick. If you install SP flash, and download the correct recovery (like TWRP), and the correct version ROM's with scatter.txt you can recovery the phone in just about any circumstance. I put the P8000B recovery files on my PC, Formatted whole flash and bootloader. After that, the phone was bricked, and wouldn't turn on. Loaded the P8000B system recovery scatter.txt, and SP flash installed it perfectly. Booted fine. With SP flash it's almost impossible not to be able to restore the P8000B as long as you have proper files,
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
This is mainly correct, but....

there is no Stock ROM, no scatter file and I think not even a TWRP or Philz Recovery available for the 'new version' of the P8000 - I call it P8000(B) because it is written on the box of the phone.

Emileh made a good description of the problem here: http://xdaforums.com/elephone-p8000/general/2016-version-fingerprint-scanner-t3436270

But you could help us if you can provide the necessary files....
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Is it the us version? It's the same one I have. I'll post a video how to soon

******EDIT******

FrauHofrat, sorry I did not realize that there was a "Rev.2" out for the P8000 US Version. I am surprised Elephone hasn't released a flash-able version for SPflash yet. Honestly, it would be in their best interest to ship any Rev of their US versions w/ TWRP and freely distributing flash-able images/scatter.txt, so if it gets bricked during a failed OTA update, folks would not have to send their phones back to be fixed. I have the Rev 1 of that phone.

Any word on the Elephone forum regarding the Rev. 2 version for images/scatter.txt? I will keep an eye out. Is there any specific model related info that shows up in About Phone, or written on the box/battery?
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
We're not talking about the P8000-B here, which I believe has different LTE bands so it's better suited for the USA

We're talking about P8000 6.0, which is the newer version of the phone that's currently being shipped in Europe. It has some small technical changes and stock Android 6

Edit: by the way, the box does say P8000(B), but I don't really trust that description

Hi guys,

I was just looking at the elephone forum and found this: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-11929-1-1.html#.V7WrLDWbfSY . There's the stock rom link for the 2nd revision of the P8000, so hope you can get it working properly again.

[MENTION=7052624]ardrift[/MENTION]

Thank you for this information - the ROM works and the phone is alive again!

But there is still one thing to do: because of flashing the wrong firmware my phone lost the IMEI. This should'nt be a problem on rooted devices but the stock ROM resists all attempts to be rooted :(
[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
Can you try dialing *#*6813#*#* in the stock dialer app? Someone on the elephone forum has written this as a solution, altough I don't know if it works, or how would it work... If you are stuck you can upload a screenshot, I can look at it :D

PS: Your IMEI numbers should be sticked on your battery, you can see them if you remove the phone's back.
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
Change IMEI on P8000

[MENTION=7052624]ardrift[/MENTION]:

first I thought this is a joke but actually it worked :victory:

with *#*#6813#*#* entered on the stock dialer you can acess the "IMEI-Tool" which allows you to enter a new IMEI for both SIM cards. The new IMEI stay permanent even after reboot and this also works on 'old' P8000.

Sometimes life can be so easy :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KramYY:
Will root benefit my battery life?

Some people say is not worth rooting anymore
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilzgift:
You can do some debloating without rooting. There is the package disabler pro for samsung devices. You can also use tools like greenify, which should help somewhat with hibernating apps and aggressive doze. Both options should be able to improve battery life considerably without root.

You do need root if you intend to go after wakelocks, which you can do with apps like amplify. This isnt mandatory as long as long as wakelocks dont keep your phone awake for too long though. Getting a different kernel could also improve things there but I can't say the difference would be dramatic.

All in all, I am inclined to say its probably not necessary to root your phone just for extended battery life. Having amplify is a relevant part of optimization but as long as you can kill the related app, you might not need it.

Recently bought Aquaris X5 as secondary phone. It was a Cyanogen Edition from O2 network. As it had a network lock I flashed it with Android 6.0.1 directly from BQ website. There are 2 editions of this device: Android and Cyanogen. For some reason BQ factory Android ROM takes off network lock and this is what I was aiming for. I was happy till now. As great value device it may be it lack of power for recent games. I love playing Mortal Kombat X and have it on my Galaxy S6 hoever on my secondary phone I have my girlfiends account so I can do daily chalanges when she is at work.

My question is: does anyone here know of custom ROM's that would allow little OC with SetCPU? I already have it rooted but it won't let me go past 1.38GHz. Guess I need a proper kernel?

before you say "you will hard brick" or "you can't do that" yes I can I already did that with many of my past phones just for fun and benchmarking. All I need is a slight OC to get few more FPS of my games so I get less lag in them.

Any help will be appreciated.
