Ok, I bought a galaxy s7 from my friend, because he was getting a new phone, but I discovered that wifi wasn't working at all, so I thought it had to do something with the firmware and I decided to flash the rom with odin, with a newer version of the firmware.

This is where all my problems started, when I restarted my phone for the first time I noticed that the startup/booting animation was some weird ****, not like the usual one (the samsung logo) but was a weird loud animation with the letters of MTK, in that moment what came to my mind was that I just could be a custom rom or just a custom boot animation, so I didn't gave it too much attention, I continued to do what I was gonna do and tried to boot my phone into download mode with the classic normal method , Volum Down+Home+Power, when I tried this apparently It didn't work, I could stay there pressing the buttons for like 5 minutes and nothing would happen, and once I would release them, the phone would turn on and do the weird animation and boot like normal, at this point I was already worried so I proceded to Root my phone with KingRoot and install an app to manually boot my phone into download mode, it didn't worked. After hours of searching for a solution I found about ADB and I did all the steps to boot my phone from there, still nothing, when I typed the "abd reboot download mode" or something like that, the phone would just restart and do the ****ing weird animation again, so I tried booting into recovery mode and when I tried to do it, an android robot would appear laying on the ground with his chest open, and the words "No command". When I would press the home button the phone would react and send me to the recovery mode, normal.

So I'm begging you guys for help, since I don't know what to try now.

It looks like the download mode or maybe the firmware is broken, and I can barely do something without the download mode, pls help.

What I've tried so far:

-Basic 3 buttons method (can't remove battery, it's an s7)

- ADB method

- ADB fastboot method

- Vol Up+Vol Down+Home+Power

- Can't do anything with Odin since I need download mode

- Tried to install twrp recovery mode from ADB but says that It didn't found the file

If someone knows a solution for this please tell me what I can do.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] takerhbk:
No idea really but just to be sure. Did you try switching off phone completely and then trying 3 button combo for download mode?

Also post that **** boot animation logo as that might help us figure what you have flashed on phone.

I have many contacts that I only have on MSN. Since I've started using WM6 and Windows Live for MSN on my device it has added all of my MSN contacts to my phone contacts - this is a huge pain when it comes to finding the person I want to call.

I know I can show only those I have phone numbers using a category filter, but this resets when I close contacts or reset the device. Does anyone know a way I can permanently hide my MSN contacts from my phone's contacts list?

Thanks.

Hi

It has been almost a month that I have been reading and trying different approaches. A frustrating but hugely learning experience. Am so grateful to all the contributors @ xda-developers. _This is a treasure trove of info for newbies like me.

My challenge - A LYF Wind 4 phone ( basically a Haier L 51 ) which I hard bricked. Have managed to dump all the mmcblk partitions as .img files from a similar but functional phone, I had managed to access.

Created a rawprogram0.xml which seems to have worked because I could download to the bricked phone using QFIL. However the phone remains bricked.

Tried single image download using emmcdl and QSaharaServer but not much luck.

Even managed to get a backupemmcfirmware.bin from the similar phone using EFS Pro but not much success.

Realise that I cant use the .img format for sbl1, aboot,tz etc. Tried using tools to convert to .mbn (the required format) but obviously am making mistakes.)

Is there a simple tool to convert .img to .mbn ( Tools like ImgExtractor.exe keep crashing., even with the -conv option) Not sure if ext2simg will give me the .mbn file.

cant switch to DLOAD using emmcswdownload of the QPST tools. Get a msg saying that the phone is not in diagnostic mode. Nor can I restore the qcn file for NV

Cant figure out why after a successful download using prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn as the programmer in QFIL , the phone still remains bricked. Yes the phone is based on the Snapdragon 210 SoC.

Have been unsuccesful in creating the right partition_boot.xml to be able to create msimage.mbn and there is no way I can get the MPRG8909.hex. my newbie attempts at using python werent of any use. Even tried dabbling with Linux commands using Ubuntu, but my lack of knowledge in using Linux , slows me down tremendously.

Will be grateful for any pointers to resolve this brick.

[ZenFone 2 Themes and Apps] glits:
Just install the .apk from that link given above and then use Link2SD to make it a system app.

Just restart your phone and Google Now pane will be working like a charm. It's a beautiful launcher, BTW! :) Haha
[ZenFone 2 Themes and Apps] d@vo:
How do you make it a system app, can you explain me,thanks.
[ZenFone 2 Themes and Apps] glits:
Sure! Choose the launcher from the app list on link2sd, and once you've done it, click on the three dots at the top right corner of your screen and select "convert to system app". Make sure you have root enabled and ready to go.

You must restart your phone in order for this change to take effect.

Plot Twist: On my screenshot it says convert to user app, because it has already been converted into a system app. Good luck! :)

1) I am not a developer, so I do not understand the feasibility of my question, but is it possible to get ROOT without tripping the KNOX? If possible, is anyone working on it?

2) I really, really liked the CARBON rom, are there any similar roms in terms of design/features/stability? I loved Superman rom but I'm really into having tons of features, and prefer not to rely on Xposed.

Thank you!

Hi, I've been using AdAway for a couple of years and about three month or so, some in apps ads are not block (such as musixmatch, textra, mangarock...);

I've installed xposed module MinMinGuard and nothing, ads keep popin up from time to time on the same apps.

Your help is much appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokiwipeout:
You might need a flashable zip that blocks ads based on your hosts file.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-rps-systemless-ad-block-t3433672

I think this will do the job.

If it doesn't work, then you can find such a flashable zip on the general android forums (or something like that)of xda.

I think it was called mother of ad blocking or something.

Hi,

I have an O2 branded Wizard and have hard reset it to clear it then intentionally soft reset it on first boot when its about to install the O2 customisation to prevent it. I preffer this as it runs quicker now (even compared to a 'corporate' install), but I notice the phone app works different. Before with the customised O2 phone app as I typed a number in the dialer it shortlisted names / numbers from my contacts and call lists for quick selection, now it doesnt.

Is there anyway I can have just the O2 phone app back please?

Or are there any other phone apps that work the same?

Maybe if I knew the right files I could temporarily go back to the O2 version, copy the relvent phone app files, and place them back on it after wiping it back to basics again? I know the phone app is called cprog.exe, but undertsand that it cant just be copied / overwritten to change it?

Thanks Anthony

Hi,

there is anyone avaiable to develop a Cyanogen Mod 11 or 12 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 SM-G357FZ?

The model with 1,2 Ghz Quad core 64-bit processor, 1 GB of RAM and LTE technology, it's perfect for Lollipop or Marshmallow

Thanks in andvance!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Wingchundub:
Would love this also, as just brought one 2nd hand for family member whom is stuck in dark ages of the original Ace.

Nice little fast phone for £20, mint condition aswell.

I see the G357FZ has little support, i think merely due to it being the newer model of teh range.

If no success, i will remove bloatware and keep original rom.

Best wishes

I would also like a ROM for my sister's phone.

I'm just curious about powershell on W10M since W10 IoT and W10M shares some stuffs. If we can remotely connect powershell on IoT, then I wonder if we can do the same on W10M. Currently I'm trying it right now but it keeps throwing this error.

[IMG="Powershell attempt on W10M"]https://i.imgur.com/b06CBhE.png[/IMG]

So any ideas if this is possible?

Sent from Ponyville
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
I've tried too when I was looking for a way to delete preinstalled apps . I remember giving up after reading something about W10M not supporting remote connections. I'll try again on the latest build and report back.
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
So, let's review the steps needed

1. Enable developer mode on the Windows Phone and pair your with your Windows computer. I used CMD C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86>

WinAppDeployCmd list -ip 192.0.0.2 -pin 123456

for that

2. Start Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) on PC

from CMD

net start WinRM

3. Add Phone to the trusted hosts list

From PowerShell

set-item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value 192.0.0.2

4. Test connection betwen Windows PC and Windows Phone

from PowerShell

Test-Connection -ComputerName 192.0.0.2

5. Start a remote PowerShell session with the Phone

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName 192.0.0.2 -Credential 192.0.0.2\Administrator

I get a window asking for admin pass

So, what's the password? :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] mrchezco1995:
Have you tried IoT's default password "p@ssw0rd"? Or the PIN itself as password?

Sent from Ponyville
[Windows 10 Mobile] ngame:
didn't work . Also I tried some random users like SYSTEM and WPNONETWORK but no success
[Windows 10 Mobile] lukjok:
I don't think so, because:

1. In WP, PowerShell folder is empty.

2. Even it would have some binaries of PS, WinRM service doesn't exist on the WP.

You can use TShell if it's still working on WP 10.
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
Doesn't work. Now I remember why I gave up last time, I think you must have Windows Remote Management or/and Remote Procedure Call services running on the phone.

In theory, the first can be started via HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WinRM\Start value 2 and the second HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\RpcSs\Start value 2, but I could add just the first one with Interop Tools .

How do I check which services are running on the phone?
[Windows 10 Mobile] ngame:
I think using ProcessViewer (WP8) app you can see
[Windows 10 Mobile] lukjok:
There is no WinRM subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
Isn't just like http://127.0.0.1/processes.htm ?

It isn't, but you can add it with Interop Tools
[Windows 10 Mobile] lukjok:
No, your addition doesn't make sense. This is how WinRM service subkey looks on IoT device registry.

[IMG="IoT WinRM"]http://i.imgur.com/4hYQtGt.png[/IMG]

This service needs a wsmsvc.dll file, which doesn't exist on Windows Phone. :)

So, you can add as many keys as you want but it just won't work.
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
I've just noticed that, but rpcss.dll is in system32.

Yes it is . I forgot about this

Hey can you send us that DLL file? Lemme try if I can make that to work on W10M even if we don't have write access to C:\Windows. Looks like C:\Data\Windows\ is symlinked to C:\Windows but still not sure...

Pingy can only powershell remote to PCs or IoT, not powershelling to W10M's self powershell (if it does exist...)

Sent from Ponyville
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
But if "Pingy uses the built in WS-Management service", doesn't mean it should be running on the phone too?
