[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JDubbed:
I unplugged my wife's phone from its charger today and BAM boot loop occurs. No idea why. Of course she blames me cause I touched it and it breaks. Haha. So I tried pulling the battery no good. I attempted recovery mode and selected factory reset which after it did its reset the phone rebooted still in boot loop but now I cannot get into recovery mode. It just freezes or reboots when I attempt recovery mode. I just get the "recovery booting" message and then either phone reboots or it freezes. It is an AT&T SGH-i337 with lollipop on it. I spent about 4 hours sifting through XDA forums trying various methods using ODIN like here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2407443 and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 but problem persists. At this point I could use a little help from the community. Maybe some down to earth help that can point me into the right direction or the right files to download and try. Currently I can put the phone into download mode and my computer recognizes it and ODIN sees it just fine. I've witnessed some crazy screen stuff like the matrix happening when I turn it on. Its weird. Sometimes when I turn it on and it sits at the Samsung Logo the background slowly turns green and gets all pixelated. It is very bizarre. Maybe that might tell you something. I'd really just like the stock rom back on whatever that may be. It was on stock but had been rooted using Kingroot a while back. At this point I'd prefer any rom, Kitkat or lollipop, CM I don't care. I just want the phone functioning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Assume that you do not have any hardware issue.

Charge the phone.

First try the 10 sec methods to see whether you can go to recovery mode.

Press power button + home +volume up for 10 sec. when the phone vibrate release the power button but keep pressing the home and volume up until you see the recovery message.

If you can get into recovery but you can not revive the phone or you can not go into recovery at all, you need to flash the firmware via odin.

the only odin flashable firmware for lollipop phones are the kit-kat NB1 firmware cooked by Muniz_ri. You can get the file from here.

Muniz_ri cooked the firmware such a way that you can use towel root to root it.

Let see that fix your problem first.

Attention Moto G 2nd generation users. Unbrick using SD card dump

Can anybody create the following file from working Moto g(2014). ?.It will save Many devices. Please give a google drive link.

Reference from below Threads.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660566

The following guide is for S3 but it will work for All the Qualcomm based devices. No need to have Linux os to perform this back up.Can be done using the windows.

Insert memory card into working & rooted Moto g and issue the following command using ADB

->adb.exe shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920

increase the count if you face any problem. Compress and Upload the debrick.bin in google drive and leave a link.

Explanation:

How to UNBRICK:

Credit goes to these guys in this thread, I thought i was onto something origional, however after doign some searching i found others have figured this out for a different Variant of the S3

What you did:

Bricked downgrading the bootloader after upgrading to the 4.3 bootloader. The 4.3 bootloader appears to blow efuses that stop previous boot loaders from booting. Now your EMMC has non booting garbage on/in it. YAY! not...

What we are doing:

What we will be doing is writing the Partition layout (Partition.mbn) among other things to the SD so the phone will boot from it after it fails to boot from the EMMC. According to my research the CPU is designed to cascaded from one storage device to the other in the event of failure on the first device. This also means if your EMMC is smoked, you could technically run the whole rom and everything from the sd card, or that's my assumption.

What you need:

- A Micro SD card 16GB or larger. this will no work on smaller cards, i tried a 2GB 4 GB and 8GB for the sake of testing and it fails.

- A working Dump that includes the SBL1, SBL2, SBL3, aboot, TZ and RPM from a working device that matches your DEVICE MODLE ie: I747U or I747M If you wanto t create your own dump from a friends device the command in a rooted adb shell would be as follows but not exact depending where you want the dump file to end up being on your sd cards. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920" That is what I used my my co-workers CM 10.2 rom to get the 4.3 bootloader/debrick dump. NOTE: the device has to be rooted with a working busybox that supports the dd command.

- The ability to write the dump image to the micro sdcard.

If someone finds out that this solution actually does work, and tests it on a hardbricked device with success:

WALL OF TEXT INCOMING:

I would like to help, but I only have a working XT1072 and my debrick.img would be useless here. But it should work, and you can get technical details by dissasembling recovery.img and checking recovery.fstab But I might make sooner or later an XT1072 debrick.img and place it in a thread with multiple debrick images for multiple images. We could make these from rooted devices running a stable ROM with a specified bootloader version, and gather them listing them in the following format, along with usage instructions:

D_V_B_A_T_debrick.zip

D:Device Codename

V:Variant

B:Bootloader version

A:Android version

T:TWRP version

Example:

thea_XT1072_48.21_5.1.1_3.0.2-0_debrick.zip with an mmc0blk0.img file inside.

just like this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help/help-plz-starting-debrick-img-t3003027

If this does really work, then Moto users won't live in fear anymore. A prosperous, brick-free glorious era awaits...

But it's not guaranteed to work, because Motos have been never recovered from a Lollipop hardbrick and this method surely had to be tested before (or was never tested and we had the solution AT OUR EYES). We need cooperation from everyone, and testers with both bricked and working devices from the same variant will be thanked in the post main page. Once the process is perfected, I will send my own debrick to be the second one in the list ;) Someone please unbrick any Moto and then post the IMG and how did you make it (block size, count)

Please OP read this and make a debrick test thread! My device works OK but anything can happen.

Below is another method to unrbick, however the blankflash.zip file seems to be of falcon (as per other users). Anyone can extract or get blankflash.zip file for Titan would be great help to us.

If your phone detects as QDLoader Qualcomm HS-USB 9008, You can do the below steps.

Note: First download BlankFlash.zip and RiffBox JTag Drivers and extract both.

1. Connect your phone to the PC, when you see "QDLoader Qualcomm HS-USB 9008" in device manager, right click it and update the driver [Go to the RiffBox JTag Drivers folder and select that driver file to update].

2. After successfull driver updation, now go to BlankFlash folder and run blankflash.bat file.

It will flash a bootloader file on your device. And you will be able to boot into bootloader mode.

From bootloader mode you can flash factory firmware.

Hope this helps you both.

Let me know what happens next.

[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPK99:
There are some methods to extract the partition layouts...one can be using dd cloning & extracting img files...another can be through B2bSupportLg Tool, also calleld BoardDiag. It does have MSM8226 chipset option, but that device is W7 G2MDS. Take a working Moto G 2014 from someone, ask them to use this tool to extract the partition schemes, then you'll get .mbn files, especially prog_emmc_filehorse_msm8226.mbn . Use that to dump into the bricked device using either QFIL Tool or use this blankflash tool, replace it's singleimage files with the one you got, then execute blank-flash.bat.

Also I had some emmc prog firehorse files, all 4 related to 8x26...You can try those & confirm me if they work or not

I have been wading through all the YouTube videos trying to get an idea if the ZTE Axon 7 will be my next phone and I find this [youtube]URu1MUsmELI[/youtube]

I am totally suprised at how good the OIS / EIS is working and it looks to me very similar to the S7 and iPhone 6s+ stabilisation.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] obladi64:
How many axis OIS and EIS are these?

Is EIS part of camera unit or is it ZTE development?

Does EIS operate in case of 4K and/or 60fps?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ipmanwck:
I don't know as in the UK it's still not released yet :(

OIS is hardware and EIS is the electronic image stabilisation in the software. It looks floating like an iPhone or Samsung s7 but I would compare it more to the iPhone 6s plus but as someone already commented it is hunting for focus too much. Let's hope we can lock focus at least until they release the promised updates.....lol. Zte updating a phone. I think we will have more luck with custom roms if they unlock the bootloader!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] reddrago:
The OIS is performing so well wow. Some of the other videos show really bad performance, wonder if its part of a new update?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] obladi64:
OK it is clear that EIS is software solution for the problem. I don't know too much about phone cameras but look at this article.

http://www.androidauthority.com/sony-announced-imx318-cmos-image-sensor-673495/

It is just about camera device alone and it says "the IMX318 supports 4K capture at 30fps and features electronic image stabilization to reduce camera shake and lens distortion", which means for me that software is included in the camera itself. Or?

Regarding axis I read the following meanwhile "The back of the Axon 7 is where you will find a 20 mega-pixel dual OIS rear camera".

http://www.gizchina.com/2016/08/08/zte-axon-7-first-impressions/

I suppose that dual is the number of axis because A7 has only one rear camera.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] peramikic:
The phone has both OIS and EIS, that's why the "dual OIS" part should say "dual IS". Both OIS and EIS mechanisms are built into the sensor module, but while EIS is performed on the sensor, the OIS is performed by the SoC taking the reading from the 2-axis gyro (haven't seen any specs indicating more than that) and driving the (most likely VCM) motors in the module.

The auto-focus hunt in the video is too much, hope it can be locked, it made me nauseated

The pocket now review found that OIS is not so good and if you enable EIS, it gets worse. In the end they called it ambitious but flawed.

Been a long time Samsung user up until a few months ago when my Note 5 bricked and needed a new phone. Decided to grab a 6P and it turned out to be a neat little phone.

Yup I have a 6P now. I left from TouchWiz on the Note 4 and decided to see what all the hype was about for Nexus devices and so far it's OK. Good Rom support and root ability but the hardware is lacking compared to a monster like the Note 7. I'm really wanting to come back but waiting to see if bootloader is locked or not. Not sure if a phone that can't be rooted is possible for me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PearsonDKA:
I'm definitely on the fence about the whole bootloader thing, but I don't think it's gonna be a huge deciding factor for me. Actually reserved a Black Onyx version already haha.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] HNIC215:
I've had the Note 3, 4, 5, S7 Edge etc... I switch phones alot... Had a bunch from HTC, all the iPhones etc...

The 6P's main strength is the software - mainly the unlocked bootloader and the quick updates.

Although I preferred some of Samsung's software features like camera and gallery and some of TouchWiz's aesthetics.

From a hardware perspective though, that phone sucks compared to the Note 5 or any other modern Samsung device. It doesn't feel as premium, bluetooth issues, EMMC, and a bunch of other stuff that bothered me. So I ended up returning it and going back to the Note 5.

Samsung has been getting a lot better with software, as far as TouchWiz - each version continues to get better. Now that their new head of mobile is a software guy, I think it only gets better.

They have also been pretty good in regards to updates - at least monthly security updates. However, the carriers still slow them down due to their idiotic demands regarding updates and testing etc...

Which in turns affects the user and makes us mad at Samsung when really we should be annoyed with our carriers.

In my experience from all these years of owning many many phones from both iOS and Android.

I think the iPhone and Samsung reigns supreme as far as premium quality, premium flagship devices.

I would consider another Nexus somewhere down the line if they made a nice one but I still don't think (unless Google directly is involved in the hardware) that it will compete with Apple and Samsung when it comes to that premium quality device.
