[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AlexDicy:
Hi there, I was wondering if Samsung kies still may break the knox bit (like root)

I know that this happened some year ago, but is this problem still alive? (I mean, if it is we can use this as an excuse for the 0x1)

Sent from my awesome S7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shazore:
There is no more kies for s7 edge... smart swith is the new software for backup and firmware upgrade... and it doesn't break the knox.. the other option to flash firmware is odin it doesn't break the knox too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AlexDicy:
Ok thanks, odin doesn't break the knox if the the firmware is stock right? (If you flash custom recovery & kernel result in a e-fuse burn right?)

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] radensb:
I am running a Verizon HTC 10 that has been Sunshined (unlocked bootloader, TWRP, ...) and have been using Viper10 2.3.0.

I am going to be on travel, and I wanted to be able to stream from Netflix, HBO, my own personal media server, etc and enjoy my media on the hotel's TV. I still have my Verizon UDP and my rooted ROM provides me with the hotspot feature. So, technically, I could utilize that to accomplish exactly what I want to do, which I have already tested and confirmed would work. However, I am seeking alternative solutions as I do not want to be using my UDP with excessive tethering and risk getting the attention of Big V and get flagged as a "data hog" by their BS definition in violation of some tethering usage. Many UDP users got kicked off the network for this... I am looking to stream media to my phone and simply provide a travel friendly mechanism to display it to the TV.

So, naturally, I tried the Chromecast mirror option and was able to get some result, but not what I wanted. I am looking for an Ad Hoc "wireless HDMI" solution so that I can stream (over my 4G connection to my phone) any media I want and locally cast the content to the TV. That way, Verizon sees my data usage as a non-tethering type of consumption but I can still get away from viewing the media on my phone screen. All the wireless technologies I have seen (including Chromecast) utilize Wi-Fi tech. I can AD Hoc connect to the Chromecast and mirror my device, however, the quality is less than desirable for movie playback. I read up on Miracast tech, but it looks like it too utilizes WiFi. The problem is that I cannot sustain a WiFi connection to a cast device AND maintain my 4G connection. I always lose my 4G when I turn on WiFi, which in every other case I can think if would be the desired action.

So, is there a way to enable both WiFi AND mobile data so that the phone will see the mobile data connection as being internet accessible but still utilize the WiFi to support video casting? Or is my best option to look into USB-C to HDMI adapters and stick with needing to run a cable? It's 2016, I was hopeful a high quality wireless option was available that supported my use case.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chikenbok:
I just got off the phone with a kind woman over at Samsung regarding my pre-order, placed on the 3rd of this month. I was simply asking her -- considering both t-mobile and verizon have begun charging/shipping phones -- whether or not I should stick with my order at Samsung directly, or cancel it and go through my provider (Verizon... I know).

She very warmly told me, that Samsung would not be shipping phones until mid-September... I got a little worked up at this point and said "excuse me? I ordered this on the pretense that it would be shipped AT THE LEAST by the 19th" to which she fumbled around for a bit and told me that, "No dear, all Samsung orders are going out mid-September."

Suffice to say - this was rather surprising news and I'm pretty damned upset about it. I think I'll be going ahead and cancelling my order and walking into a store on Friday.

Just a heads up to anyone else waiting (if anyone else is waiting) on Samsung direct.

ETA - I didn't mean to post this in the T-mobile section - my apologies!!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] showerhead88:
I had also preordered the Coral Blue Note 7 directly from samsung.com and chose T-Mobile as the carrier. After reading your post, I called up samsung customer service too and they told me that those that preordered will be receiving the first batch before August 19th. I'm not sure if its just a T-Mobile thing though, since I see that you ordered from Verizon. Maybe you should try calling Verizon too to verify this information before you cancel.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chikenbok:
I actually called back a couple of times to get some kind of statistical honesty... Yeah I know.

Finally I spoke to someone high enough up the ladder who said, "the only people who know when the phones from Samsung will ship, are the corporate execs. Despite what anyone tells you, only carriers can release early, as the manufacturer, we just wait. However, if you did preorder early, you will get your phone around the 19th as we've been told."

It only took me 5 phone calls to get some honesty... Albeit bizarre honesty. ALL I WANTED WAS TO HEAR 'Hey man, I'm gonna ship your phone on Monday!"

BTW I also went with coral blue, ordered on 8/3
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Rx8Driver:
The difference is a carrier branded model vs an unlocked intl model...might be worth the wait to get an unlocked exynos next month than a carrier branded and bootloader locked device now (or within days...)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] DionWhite33:
Yeah I'm realizing that now after I pre-ordered with a presumption that it would be unlocked. I cannot stand a locked bootloader with no root. Going to return it take a $50 hit for a restocking fee lick my wounds wait 2-3 weeks for the international version to come out.. they have them on Amazon already for $980 but you can't order until August 31st. I guess I'll play with this for 2 weeks before I return it cuz I'm getting charged $50 either way for a restocking fee whether I open the box or not... Plus China is getting a version with 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage. That's what we were supposed to get the begin with from what I understand I've been waiting a year for this. I love the Note line..I have owned every Note ever made... in the last few years it feels like they add one thing and take away two! Samsung needs to be Samsung not copy or emulate Apple.. and also listen to the people because in the end it's us who spend our hard-earned money to buy these products they are now costing upwards to $1,000....if they don't... then I'll have to hit the lottery and start my own phone company with an S Pen...I'll call it Snapple....hahaha
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Rx8Driver:
Lol here's the deal- money talk and sh*t walks. Samsung will make WAY more money from idiots who haven't a clue what a bootloader even is thru samsung pay alone than what they'd lose if EVERY XDA member who's ever registered decided not to buy because of it...it's a no brainer for them. And as much as I've loved my Note devices (all of them since the N2) it's a real kick in the teeth smh makes me not want to buy one at all smh except I'll just wait on the 930F or get the Chinese 6gb model imported and activate on BYOD...

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentexcitebot:
First and foremost: Do NOT use Kingroot. There are many threads that explain why Kingroot is shady:

http://androidforums.com/threads/kingroot-safe-to-use.923983/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3vmspw/thoughts_regarding_kingroot/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2604749

Yes, I know there's guides that recommends users to use KingRoot. But unless you want to send private IMEI to China or leak information to the world, just don't use it.

Second, use THIS guide to obtain root.

Alternatively, you can go to the custom ROM route: this will save you a lot of time and headache. Jaguar ROM if you want some AOSP flavor, or DStrikerz if you like Sony's UI. Both includes root, but DStrikerz will allow flashing with locked bootloader. Read THIS for custom recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jluca98:
I have a rooted and twrp installed samsung s6 from sprint.

I tried to install xposed through twrp and now it boot loops. I guess xposed has a boot loop issue on stock samsung roms.

I can enter download mode but I can't get into recovery because the phone will not power off! If I hold key combinations to power it off it just keeps restarting. Does anyone know a way i can enter recovery mode. I do know i can flash the stock firmware through odin but i dont want to lose all my files. Is there a way to disable xposed through odin/download mode, or through adb if the device is offline?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsPeHeat:
I had the exact same problem two weeks ago, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'd hold Volume Down + Power buttons to restart it, then quickly switch my fingers to Power Up and Home button to enter recovery. Try it that way, it could work.

Also, you should try to install this xposed. I am on a stock ROM as well and this one works for me!

Thanks for your help. I ended up accessing recovery by plugging in a usb and using the keys combo you suggested and am now running the xposed you linked to. Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojam:
Bought a OTG from China, used one, left plugged into the phone as I slept...don't know if it's the cause of my troubles to start happening, or if the Twitter app I installed at the same time is the cause.

The phone became TROUBLE and I eventually decided to try going back to stock. I did manage to get stock on but couldn't use because the phone immediately would display the dreaded "Unfortunately.......", which pops up so often that you cannot do anything. So I decided to do a full wipe from factory recovery. Since then, the phone wont power on at all! I have left it to charge overnight, all day, NO POWER!!!! I have read many similar accounts. I lost as what to do! I had ZERO power issuses before. Saw a vid where a guy says the power switch is faulty. He ordered one from eBay and replaced it. 1) I don't think it's the case. 2) don't think I wanna try soldering, etc.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

I have the 910W8 from Rogers in Canada. ODIN flashed with no problems (used the latest firmware from sammobiles for my phone) but would get that error after the flash, causing it to be unuseable. I flashed a second time and same thing. That's when I decided to do a wipe from recovery. Now it won't boot up.

Cannot believe nobody has replied. I did get one of the usb things from a very nice member (i have to register myself as someone who now has one) but the phone is still not working.

Having done some confusing reading to try to fix mine but don't think i can.

Wondering if there's a good, reliable, store in the GTA (north end preferrably) that can do repair with JTAG? Wondering if there's any hope in recovering this phone. I get the impression that there's a good chance JTAG repair can bring it back to life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romanowski1987:
Hi,

To make everything clear i will start from the very begining. I bought my Galaxy S5 2 years ago. It was on android KitKat back then. Everything was stable and it was working like a charm. When android 5.0 Lollipop was available in OTA i let it update. Still everything was ok. And now, about 1 month ago when android 6.0 Marshmallow came out in OTA for my device i also didnt hesitate. Now i regret it as hell. On 6.0 my phone went from stable as a rock to restarting every 5 minutes. I thought maybe its battery fault so i changed it but unfortunately it didnt change much. I blamed 6.0 for all this thing so i decided to downgrade it to 5.0 Lollipop. I did it thanks to youtube tutorial by android doctor - Samsung Galaxy S5 Downgrade Android 6.0 G900F Marshmallow To 5.0 Lollipop ( i was using ODIN and i flashed XEO rom for my SM-G900F from sammobile website).

For like 3 weeks everything went back to normal but one day i couldnt turn WiFi on my phone (when i pressed the WiFi symbol nothing was changing, when in settings i tried to slide it to ON position it went back to OFF. I thought ok lets reboot the phone then. I did it but from that moment my phone is as useless as a brick. It turns on, shows Samsung Galaxy s5 logo and immediately restarts. I cant even enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode so i tied to flash another rom (6.0) but it didnt work. Phone was still restarting in the same moment. I even tried to install TWRP but cant enter it also.

I had my own small company but it went bankrupt and i have huge debts which i will be paying for next 10 years so i really dont have any money to spend. I live without the phone right now. My life is a misery. Can you guys please help me to unbrick my phone? I will be very grateful and you propably cant imagine how much it will cheer me up to have it working again.

Sorry for such a long post and useless informations about my life but i had to let it all out.

Just get the OK4 tar.md5 from either sammobile.com (very slow servers) or from here (much faster) and flash it in odin. should be god to go. then you can root, flash twrp and youre ready to ROM

ok i seem to have found all the files... you need a couple more files than only the one file in the cab...

so it seems...

StartupAnimationEngine.dll (the engine to have the startup animation)

(i'm figuring out if this DLL needs to be added to the drivers list inside the registry)

PLAYSND.dll (seems to have a function to add startup sounds)

Htc_Lib.dll (used instead or aside of HTCUtil.dll i'm not sure...)

added this one to registry at drivers... it doesn't hurt my prophet... so i'm leaving it there...

Engine.Dll (i do not have the foggiest idea what the **** this file is for...)

these files are pointed out in some

5- Check presence of the following files in your WINDOWS folder:
