[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksparkz21:
Sometimes your phone won't boot or got stuck in boot logo. This problems may occurs when:

1. Your device was rooted then you OTA update it . (When you root your device your warranty is void and your service provider have nothing to do with you, you're on your own now so don't update it.)

2. You've flashed/installed something that prevents your device from booting normally.

You can fix some issues with this tutorial

1. Fix bootloop

2.System Ui error

3.Phone not booting but detected by computer

4.Forgotten lockscreen pin/password (<< but there must be alternative way for this)

Tools Needed

SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01

Mediatek MT65xx Preloader Driver - so the sp flash tool can detect your device

Cloudfone Geo 402q Firmware >> info:

Rooted with SuperSU

Smart keyboard Pro as system keyboard

Lollipop Fonts

odexed rom (partially touched stock rom just the fonts and keyboard)

I recommend 32bit windows os for sure compatibility of driver

Installing driver MTK Preloader

1. Turn off your device or simply remove the battery just to make sure.

2. Press volume up or down or both buttons.

3. Insert the usb cable from your computer to your device, it will install automatically drivers.

If your computer can't detect it or can't automatically download drivers,

Go to control panel > hardware and sound > (under devices and printers) click device manager.

It will show the unknown device .

(assuming that, thats the unknown device but yours will be different icon but its on the same process to install the driver)

Install it manual. Right click unknown device Icon,

then properties then update driver software.

"Choose Browse my computer for driver software"

Manually find the extracted folder of Mediatek preloader driver

and choose the folder containing the driver,

just wait and windows will install it ...

Flashing Procedure:

1. Extract the firmware you have downloaded

2. Launch the SP Flash tool (flash_tool.exe).

3. Click the scatter loading choose the android scatter.

4. Flash tool will load the scatter file .

5. Click download.

6. Turn off your phone or just pull the battery,

you can flash it without battery.

press volume up, if you got error volume down plus power button

if didn't work maybe you are flashing this in different phone

Tips:(cloudfone geo 402q have chipset issue some tools detects it as MT8382 but it is MT6582)

but for me it didn't cause me a problem

7. Wait for the device to be detected, look at the status bar below of flashtool it will detect your device

wait for it to flash the rom and wait the green circle to appear. indication that flashing was done.

then boot your device!!! I hope this post helps you a lot.

just put a comment if you have any issue :D :cool:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksparkz21:
Please write/speak in English we're on global forums

maybe the uboot or boot wasn't installed that's why your phone not booting

did you notice that the uboot checkbox was unchecked?

as I remember in the scatter file the name of uboot.bin was lk.bin

try to edit the file name of uboot.bin to>> lk.bin or try to edit the scatter file lk.bin to>> uboot.bin

tell me if that worked :cool::D

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ccirish:
I had a heck of a time getting from stock to CM13 since the official unlocker would not work for me no matter what I tried. This is not a step by step how-to guide, but my path from stock to CM13.

Step 1

(Quit trying to make the unlocker happen.):

It's not going to happen.

Step 2

(Flash Pre-Rooted ZE601KL):

Download ZE601KL_WW_1.16.40.1524

Unpack the file, then unpack the system image.

Move the boot.img and system.img to your fastboot accessible directory and flash:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Step 3

(Update SU):

The Su apk preinstalled for me wouldn't work. I updated it via Play Store and it was fine.

Step 4

(Unlock Bootloader):

Follow this Unlock Guide to get the bootloader unlocked. Before step #2 you will need to make sure that you:

fastboot oem adb_enable
fastboot oem adb_enable

Yes, twice.

Credit : @sziraqui

Step 5

(TWRP):

Download TWRP and flash it.

Step 6

(MM Patch):

Download this patch and flash it.

Credit : @LuK1337

Step 7

(Flash CM13):

Download the latest Nightly CM13 Package package and flash it.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Nexus 6P is nowhere near as flimsy as he made it appear - a lot of people were very doubtful.

Also, with this one, how was the IMEI sticker removed already yet all the plastic was still on the phone? You even saw the residue where the sticker was!

(and no, don't use the "he put all the plastic back on the phone" excuse. No way would you get it back on that perfect).

Yeah, I'm skeptical, but that's my own opinion. I also don't put a lot of faith into drop tests, as each case is different. I've also been one to take very good care of my phones, and don't generally use screen protectors. No real scratches either!

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zolares:
Honestly, I'm pretty sure Samsung did this on purpose.

The conclusion seems to be:

Gorilla Glass 4 - More scratch resistant, less shatter resistant

Gorilla Glass 5 - More shatter resistant, less scratch resistant

This makes me feel that Samsung chose Gorilla Glass on purpose due to their intentions of reintroducing the Edge screen to the Note series.

I'm sure everyone has seen the Tempered Glass Screen Protectors made for Edge screens and the truth is... they're not effective at all as compared to their flat counterparts.

I'm not sure about others, but regular film screen protectors are already highly effective in blocking scratches and they're cheap to replace.

On the other hand, the main reason to get a glass screen protector is to protect against shattering which film protectors aren't effective against.

Which makes me think...

The Note7 has an edge screen which makes it very difficult to have a glass screen protector as protection, yet regular film protectors are still possible.

So, the switch to the more shatter resistant gorilla glass 5 is to make up for the inability to use tempered glass screen protectors and gives us the opportunity to use film screen protectors as a scratch resistance alternative.

Well, that's my theory at least. Might be complete BS, but it doesn't seem that bad to me.

At least, for a device that can't use tempered glass screen protectors, I would want the glass to be more shatter resistant rather than scratch resistant since film does a good job at guarding against scratches.

If a good tempered glass screen protector was available, then I would probably still want Gorilla Glass 5 since glass screen protectors is also extremely effective against scratches.

But if I was to use my phone naked... I'm honestly not sure which I'll want more. Let's hope Gorilla Glass 6 is both scratch and shatter resistant.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
Naked... this is just BS, in real life how can u scratch it if you use a case? and don't put it with your keys...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nookcoloruser:
The biggest cause of scratches is not keys or scissors or razor blades.

It's the simple elements of our earth that do the damage, namely Sand and Grit.

It only takes a particle of sand or grit to come into contact with the screen, add the element of friction and that causes the vast majority of all scratches.

No matter how this is spun, poorer scratch resistance is not good especially considering this is a device designed to have constant friction on its surface with the stylus.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
A little tin foil hat, isn't it? GG5 is Corning's latest and greatest and by next year it'll be on all flagships and pseudo-flagships. Some scratch resistance was traded for some shatter resistance. Good or bad that's what we've got. Samsung's selling an official screen protector which might be telling us something. I ordered two sets of two.

http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note7/accessories/
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Yeah, I believe it was the first time that they have released an official screen protector. So they already know.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Flexibility (shatter resistance) and hardness (scratch resistance) are mutually exclusive. Maybe some kind of formulation of glass or a different material at some point will help, but honestly I don't think a solution to both of these issues at the same time will come any time soon.

I have never shattered a phone screen and I use minimal cases to protect against scratching. I have had a bad drop or two over the years, but the phone has always survived. I'd take scratch resistance any day of the week.

Film protectors suck ass. They offer no oleophobic properties, gunk up, and feel like **** compared to glass. I will never use of these. I even dislike glass protectors, because if you get a single spec of dirt under them during application or misalign it, might as well throw it in the trash if you have OCD because you're never going to get over it. Plus you add another layer between you and the pixels which is never good for image quality sake. Samsung did a great job with this display and the glass in front of it (e.g. lowest reflectance ever). Putting some cheap ass protector over it, even glass, will be detrimental. Also, good luck finding a decent glass protector that works with the curves. Samsung is probably going to be the absolute best option, so I would skip everything else and just buy that and pray you get the install perfect because knowing Samsung it won't be cheap.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Where did you order them from, Samsung's own site? I did a search but can't get to an actual product page for it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
EXACTLY. If you shove this in your front pocket with keys and the rest or in a purse with a bunch of crap then I don't feel sorry. I've never scratched a screen, shattered a screen or any of the crap I see. Maybe I'm too AR to let this happen. IDK.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Corbitt74:
I really hate screen protectors! Although I haven't tried tempered type. To me they degrade viewing . Really irks me that you pay a premium to get a great screen that easily scratches and takes away from the experience .

I'm still gonna try it out, but may be my last samsung if that becomes the new norm.

Having owned the Note 1, Note 2, Galaxy S4 (terrible), I moved to Nexus/Apple and did not want to buy Samsung ever again.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oostvan:
Great video, Considering pre-ordering this phone on newegg. Was originally looking to buy a huawei P9 lite but was put off by the lack of warranty and difficulty of finding a device compatible with cellular bands in Canada. This seems like a good device for the price and it will be nice to have some sort of north american support on a huawei phone. How are you liking your Honor 8 so far? Have you had any Huawei/Honor phones in the past?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2pointDooj:
Thanks for the video, I am excited about thr Honor 8 :).

I hope to get it the next month.

I have a question. How's the battery life?! (SOT and Standby.)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Battery life is amazing for what it comes with. Honor got some nice management put in place and I pulled 6.2 sot last night on their *smart* battery management ... After some heavy gaming to kill it before bed. I gave up at 5? I am using their *performance* set up today and so far done 15 minute of gps time. Also my signal is not good at work (T-Mobile) so that is something to factor in for my battery drain.

In a nut shell, I am personally impressed.

I too have the device so if any question will happily answer along with the OP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kato7youknow:
looks good.:)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Wow, 6h SOT is fantastic. Thanks, I am trying to get this device soon (to develop for it).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
For me, the screen is to small. Other than that, good specs.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
Yeah I've used quite a few Hauwei devices and this one is very different than the ones in the past. The build is noticeably higher quality. I'm still messing around with the camera which has a lot of awesome features. I'll make a new thread showing some sample photos and videos later on.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Well come on over! Preorder at the moment, 50 dollars off!

If you do not mind small screen, you will be fine. I am currently using the note 5 (officially note 7) and if I go between the two device I honestly do not get bothered by it. Once I decrease the DPI the screen will be where I need it :)
