The phone goes into download mode but the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't connect to odin and it says mtp drivers aren't installed..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Did you install the Samsung drivers? Windows won't do it by itself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3R3NC3:
yes I have samsung Kies installed, I also tried to install the drivers separately. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Then try a different USB cable.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try a different USB port, different computer, and different OS.

My dad is in the mountains writing a "stunt book" (living on frogs and weeds). He has a Samsung Galaxy s4 to use in documenting his trip via video and stills. He called on the radio yesterday and said he'd dropped his phone on a rock and crushed the lower left corner.

The screen had a purple "bruise" on it for several hours but the next time he used it the screen had q purple tint all the way acreoss it. The following morning the screen was completely black.

I need to find a way to help him fix it. Kind of like Apollo 13 where he has a bunch of tools but no way to purchase a new $8 screen.

My dad knows radios and has a lot of small tools soldering iron etc. Any help would be appreciated. Wed like to see he m finish this particular book and would be so happy to give credit to XDA. Thanks.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzappe:
Last night I put to charge my XT1563 with its motorola charger it dispolayed the message Turbo Charging as always. This morning phone was dead, no signs of charging or recharging whatsoever. After a while of having it connected to a "normal" charger it started again to charge, but hooking it up with turbo charger does nothing, I mean it simply ignores the fact that there is a cable hooked up. I have also noted that my computer no longer sees the phone, whereas before it always detected it and asked what to do with it.

Anybody has had the same problem? My guess is that the battery needs replacing as when I use my motorola charger on my wife phone it pops again the message "turbo charging"...

Any help is appreciated.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sickaxis79:
Switch your phone off at night and check your battery level the next morning. If the battery can keep his charge no replacement is needed and a factory reset could do the trick.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzappe:
It does keep the battery level and already did 2 FR - still no turbo charge ,not recognized by PC.

Looking around for FL40 for a battery replacement but cant find one available .....
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDjost:
Personally, I think that a battery that doesn't charge on a certain charger, but can hold a charge once it is charged is not the principal suspect. Check the connector, the cable, the software, etc before replacing the battery.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
I have been out of the game for a while.

I have a Verizon S5 with the NE9 version that's rooted. All my mods are done through xPosed.

I skipped all the Lollipop updates (had my OTA update system app frozen), but it's time to move to Marshmallow.

Could some point me in the right direction to get there?

Quick questions I can think of are...

- Do I have to have an "unlocked" bootloader to make this switch now?

- Is the bootloader able to be truly unlocked? I see lots of people throwing quotes around unlocked still.

- Do we need a custom recovery?

Thanks so much in advance for anyone that can help me out.

Brett
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
Ok - so it looks like without an "unlocked" bootloader, you can't get to a rooted MM state.

I just wanted to clarify that for those looking into this. If that is an incorrect statement, I trust someone will correct me.

Thanks,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alin919:
You are correct ! No MM root for a people with locked bootloader .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
Is this something we feel will change in the near future or something hardware prevents this from ever happening?

Thanks so much again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alin919:
I think is no more interest in our device since is more then two years old . After the root was found for Galaxy S7 all the dev working on that , so our future is not looking so bright .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
Plus - I just found out that my device's bootloader is unlockable - with the 11XXXXXXX CID.

Sad day all around - :( - thanks for helping me through this time. I'm not ready to give this phone up yet though. It's too good to me.

I have the bootloader unlocked but still is impossible to update to mm and keep root. The phone gives an error kernel is not SandroId enforced
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErXBout:
I dont know if it is still relevant for you but i got the same issue..

I got two Nexus 5 D821 (dont ask why two of them :P)

Wanted to move a full backup from the first one to the second...

I didnt know about the efs partition and what it is so i also told twrp to backup it from my first device too... and restoring it on the second device screwed my imei (showed 0)...

SO DO NOT BACKUP EFS ON ONE PHONE AND MOVE WITH IT TO ANOTHER ONE!!!! EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME PHONE TYPE!!!!

I managed to get my imei back somehow with editing NV items, restoring backups from QPST files and so on... (Worked at least 20 hours so far)

The only advantage that I have is that the first phone i came from is still untouched on his efs, so i try to backup the nv data and got the same errors as you!

I am currently working on this and got the same errors backing up nv items from the untouched nexus...

So probably thats not the problem, just skip these values and try to restore the nv as parts

If you need the nv backups you can contact me at admin@erxbout.ddns.net

Perhaps I am able to help

I tried the knock code module, I set the knock code but it doesnt appear in lockscreen. Anyone tried?
[Blu Vivo XL] Xiione:
First off, I wanna make clear that i have had no android experience whatsoever.

I only knew about Xposed and how it could do wonders for your phone.

So when i used Kingoroot to root my Blu Vivo XL, it rebooted, and it was stuck on the colorful boot screen.

I rebooted in "factory mode" (the one that tests modules like the speaker, sim card slots, etc) and, being the absolute noob i am, i selected "clear eMMC" and used it.

Then, after i rebooted again, it was stuck on the other boot screen (the black and white one before the colorful one).

Now, i've let it sit on the black and white screen for nearly a day now, and nothing has happened.

Please help.
[Blu Vivo XL] Xiione:
Also, I didn't know about the "enable oem unlock" feature, so it wasn't enabled before it was bricked.

Is my phone completely screwed?
[Blu Vivo XL] zenyura:
You used kingroot to root your device?
[Blu Vivo XL] Xiione:
I attempted to root using Kingroot, but it rebooted in the middle, and now it's bricked.

I checked the root status from the stock recovery, it says that it is not rooted.
[Blu Vivo XL] zenyura:
I'm not a pro on this but i've tried almost everything. I dont suggest kingroot or other apps when your device isnt supported. But rooting it via od1n will work. Try to enter stock recovery mode then clear cache then hard reset. If it doesnt work, download your device model stock rom from the internet then flash it via od1n. Goodluck hopes up. Its just a softbrick ?
[Blu Vivo XL] Xiione:
First off, thank you so much for responding!

Basically, I finally found the stock rom for the vivo xl, and i used sp flash tool to restore.

I think Odin is only for samsung phones, so i didnt find any guides for restoring other brand phones, but thank you so much for the encouragement!
[Blu Vivo XL] zenyura:
I bricked my phone many times. Esp my sony e1 there's no recovery for e1 so everytime I brick my phone just need my stock rom and flashtool. But mostly odin

Hello

well this thread is made as a try to Unbrick LG F460 ( S,K,L)

my phone is lg f460S after a wrong software now it is just in mode Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

[IMG="h"]https://s10.postimg.org/4ja8zykp5/Screenshot_7.png[/IMG]

i have been reading so many topics over a month now and there was some trials to unbrick this phone by Debrick.img which it is not successful for so many users

availabel soulutons for other lg models :-

1- BoradDiag : doesn't support APQ8084 chipset which it in our phones Lg F460 Cat6

2- LG Smart Diagnosis :- same issue

3- Debrick images :- nothing is working until now

So i searched over the internet i found our phones ruining by processors Snapdragon 805 like these phones ( Nexus 6 and Motorola Turbo )

Both phones were bricked and the developers could make a blank flash

i tried it it is working and these programs needs only a suitable singleimage.mbn or msimage.bin

the common thing is that both programs can communicate with our phones we need only someone who can make APQ8084_Singleimage.mbn

1- Motorola Turbo prog:-

2- Nexus 6 unbrick :-

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
(Would this thread be better for a more general forum?)

So I just bought the T813. I love it so far, but I really want to root this thing. Since that will irreversibly void the warranty, I want to get an insurance plan. I was thinking about SquareTrade Tablet Protection, but research yields extremely unclear results on whether or not they accept rooted/unlocked devices. (I know they wouldn't if I broke it because of rooting and such, but what about cracked screen, etc?)

I sort of have a double question. Does anyone have SquareTrade insurance on this device (any T7** or T8**), have it rooted, and have experience filing a claim (successfully or not)? Does anyone know of a cheap-ish service that they know for sure will replace customized devices if the issue isn't caused by the customization?
[Wing, P4350 General] Turbo777:
Ok. This is a request to everyone that has an unlocked t-mobile wing. I have a wing and I have been looking at attempting to find a free solution for sim-unlocking this device. Now the only other device I know about with a good unlock solution was the wizard, and that was a wonderful unlock solution. There are two ways currently I have been looking at for the unlock. First tear apart every part of the SPL/IPL until I can find the section related to the sim and its restrictions. The second which has to be possible but maybe more difficult would be to determine the relation between IMEI and sim restriction code. I have looked into this before on other devices and have found no matter how slight there is always some relation. While I go over the ROM I want to ask anyone who has unlocked their WING using an unlock code to send me a copy of your IMEI and the sim unlock code you used. I hope if I can get enough codes and IMEIs then I may be able to come up with a pattern for how they are generated and test it.

Last thing. I have heard which I have not yet tested since I want to keep my WING factory stock so I can have a good test environment for working with the device, that some people have unlocked their devices by flashing the stock HTC branded ROM to their device. If this has worked for you I would like to know which ROM you used and your current IPL/SPL versions and your previous IPL/SPL versions.

I know this is a lot to ask but here is to hoping for freedom for our Heralds.
[Wing, P4350 General] nunyabiz:
Why not just call t-mobile and have it unlocked for free?
[Wing, P4350 General] veGim:
Because he wants to come up with a free solution.. I may call T-Mo and get a subsidy code and send it to ya.. look for my PM later this week.
[Wing, P4350 General] Yos025:
Just Got the Code from T-Mobile

I called T-Mobile yesterday, asked them to unlock my Wing. They took my phone info (IMEI) and today I got an email with the unlock code. Just put in a Cingular Sim put the code and ready to go. the best way to do it. I also have a T-mobile MDA and because I was willing to do testing with this device I used the steps to unlocked in Wizards forums. It worked excellent...

Just call T-mobile...The best way to go.
[Wing, P4350 General] masterr:
Hi!

Can You help me with unlocking code?

I will appreciate very much!
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
Not everyone buys their wings from T-Mobile. I would assume that's why he's interested in creating a way to unlock them.
[Wing, P4350 General] wordizbond007:
This is what you do. Pick someone you know who has service from T-Mobile. It does not matter what kind of phone he/she is using. Have them call T-Mobile and say that they are planning on going overseas and would like to unlock their phone. They will ask for the IMEI number and an email address. Give them the WING's IMEI number and in about 24-48 hours they will send the unlock info to the email address. Worked for me and I hope it works for you.
[Wing, P4350 General] PURESKILLZZZ:
Thats all good and dandy bit i believe as with all other phones he wants it unlocked on his own ..

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] swagglepuff:
I have always jailbroke iphones and all that. I am brand new to the whole process of unlocking a bootloader to allow a custom rom to be installed. My android device I have is an unlocked HTC 10. I know that HTC offers the bootloader unlock tool via their developer website.

Questions I have:

Can you reverse the process like you can with iOS?

Is there a one and done tool, or is there multiple tools needed?

Is there a built in DFU mode like iOS? Where you can plug the phone in and do a restore if you put the phone into a boot loop?

It seems that its way easier to mess up your device when rooting an android as opposed to iOS jailbreak?

I don't mind putting in the work and reading I just don't know where to start, cause there is so much information on this forum.

Thank you in advance!

If helps I'm most interesting in viper10 2.7.0
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
I'm not familiar with jailbreaking so I can't really answer your questions in comparison to iphones but...

You can relock the bootloader easily, but your device will show that it has been unlocked (the bootloader screen will say "relocked" instead of locked). So...it is basically exactly like it was before unlocking, but obviously not exactly since the unlocked flag is different. In order to get your bootloader to say "locked" you have to perform an additional step. You have to purchase a license for an app called Sunshine. This app will disable the built-in security on the device and will allow you to set the device as locked. Sunshine is $25 and allows you to do other things like convert your phone to software from other regions. Sunshine puts the phone in a state called s-off. It is s-on from the factory.

I personally wouldn't use a multitool and have no idea on their availability. Fastboot and ADB are easy to setup and allow you the control over what you are doing.

It depends on your device/region. There are RUUs (ROM Update Utilities) available for most devices. These will restore you back to 100% stock except for the locked/relocked issue described above.

Don't know about messing up Android as compared to iphone, but just make sure you made good backups and know how to use them. It's also very important to have fastboot and adb working properly as these can be invaluable in restoring the device.

Although it's not very fun, fastboot and adb setup is where I would advise starting. Second, read the TWRP thread in the ROM/development section, especially post #2, the FAQ. That provides good information on backup and restore. Also, you should determine if there is an RUU for your device. There is a sticky in the Guide section that has all/most of the RUUs that are currently available listed.

i hope this helps.

Hi guys

So I want to flash a custom ROM called Noble ROM. According to this guide: http://galaxynote4root.com/t-mobile...te-5-ux-for-galaxy-note-4-always-on-screen/2/

I need to 6.0.1 bootloader and modem installed on my note 4.

So I downloaded the file on the site, now how do I flash it?

Never done this before, tried googling, but all the guides apparently have 2 files to flash, but I only have one zip file.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew S.S.:
IIf you're not already on the 6.0.1 firmware I would tecommend you download the entire 6.0.1 firmware and flash it.

You flash it with Odin, in Download/Bootloader mode. (Hold volume up+ home + power button until it starts and then press volume up)

I use 3.09 personally and that's what I would suggest as it worked for me. (You click the BL button and then select the .tar/.md5 file)

If you need the 6.0.1 firmware download link just ask

Also, check the files inside of the .zip

Usually the files are zipped up so they are smaller, there should be a .tar/.md5 file in there so then extract it and all

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilsonmd:
Dont trust in that site! Go to the "rom and kernel credit" and check the bootloader and modem you need to flash FIRST!!!!! and you see a DIFERENT bootloader and modem that 6.0.1 Tmobile firmware.

That site is a so fake site and VERY out of exacty info.

Example: They post a rom to X device when is for the same device but with other firmware OR the rom is for OTHER device.... always come to XDA if you dont want a issues or brick problems....

I m really sick of this update

I have this issue of severe battery drain by two main culprits at Number one it's MEDIA

and number two is ANDROID SYSTEM. I have already cleared cache using recovery and cleared data in settings. Have checked most of my pics and videos. My battery won't last more then 4 hrs. I have disabled most of the bloat apps and quite a bit of Samsung apps. Sync is @ manual

Android system cpu usage after a whole day typically is around 6 hrs

Media cpu usage usually is around 5.30hrs

Searched through the net and found no real fix for the battery drain

P.S - I DID THE FACTORY DATA RESET 1 2 TIMES.

Please help

Update : When ever I manually kill media app and disable it for a while and then re enable it.. Everything works fine for some time.

But after that initial problem it is perfectly normal and responsive.

How do I fix this issue

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZero03:
I currently own the newest model of the Samsung galaxy J3 (SM-J320V).

If you search it up, literally the only other thing you will find on it is its specs, and there is nothing on this forum about it.

ALL of the rooting tutorials I have seen are of variants, such as the J320P or other things.

Seriously, I have looked everywhere and tried every single one click root, but so far all of them have failed.

ANY sort of help or something to help me root my phone would be appreciated :)

I know that I'm probably in a minority here, as all the other models of this phone seem to be rootable, but I can't find any info on how to root this, but I'm sure someone else on this forum has this problem.
