[Sprint HTC One (M9)] TriCkYiCe:
Bootloops, Partition Table(s), and "35 RU_PARTITION_NOT_SUPPORT {partitionName}"

Hey Guys,

I had no idea how best to word the title for this because I'm having a hard time narrowing down the actual issue. I have attempted an RUU, both by 0PJAIMG.zip method and .exe method. The .exe method fails because it times out trying to reboot to the bootloader, and the .zip method fails because I get stuck in a bootloop (black background with dark HTC logo, described below).

Background -- On the Sprint variant of the M9. Earlier this week installed MM via RUU. Phone is S-ON and Unlocked (successfully ran RUU against it in this state earlier this week, strangely). Phone turned itself off while doing a WhatsApp backup, and this was the resulting situation.

Symptoms:

1. Turning on the phone results in HTC screen with white background and red text, where it hangs forever

2. "fastboot oem lock" doesn't work -- phone remains "Unlocked"

3. TWRP 3.0.2-0 is not able to mount any of my partitions (/cache, /system, /data, /devlog, /carrier, /cota, /preload) All say "Failed to mount '/{partitionName}' (Invalid argument)"

4. If I turn on the phone while holding power down key, I get what looks like the first step of Download Mode (dark HTC logo, black background), but it shows that screen vibrates, goes black, vibrates, shows that screen again...etc - forever

5. Attempting to flash any firmware-related items results in "35 RU_PARTITION_NOT_SUPPORT {partitionName}", where partitionName = whatever I was trying to flash (aboot, hosd, radio...etc)

6. In TWRP, when looking at the "Select Storage" dialog in Mount screen, "Internal Storage" shows "(0MB)"

7. Flashing Stock Recovery img results in still seeing TWRP when booting

8. The only way I am able to reach the bootloader is by holding all three buttons together. I can connect via fastboot in the bootloader, but I can't flash anything there because I'm S-ON.

9. When running RUU.exe, everything functions until it tries to reboot the phone into the bootloader the first time, where it would begin the flash process. It boots the HTC logo, white background, with red text and hangs

a. I tried to reach the bootloader for it by using the steps in #8, but while I can see the device in fastboot devices in the bootloader, the RUU never sees it and eventually times out

10. Restoring "System Image" from TWRP from before I had done anything at all to it doesn't change anything

11. Restoring "Recovery" backup from TWRP, from before I flashed TWRP also results in no change (TWRP still boots when I choose to reboot into recovery)

My guess, at this point, is a corrupt partition table or EMMC. Is it possible to try rebuilding this?

Does anyone think this is recoverable? Thoughts on next steps?

Any/all help is greatly appreciated!

Hi!

Does anyone know whether connecting our phone to a TV via Micro USB to HDMI cable would work?

If so, is there a cable you'd recommend?

I loved using my previous smartphone as a portable movie player and I'd love to do the same with my XT1562.
[X Play Accessories] pijes:
you could buy a micro usb mhl hub to hdmi which normally includes a few ports other than hdmi. I haven't tested it myself but the prospect of installing Kodi into the phone, plug the mhl hub, hdmi cable to the tv, plug a bluetooth mouse adapter to the mhl hub usb port then you get a small android tv player. the only problem would be charging the phone, I'm not sure if the mhl hub could charge it.

Tell you what, I have an old moto Atrix HD with dual port (mini hdmi and micro usb). Perhaps I should buy the mhl hub and see if it works.
[X Play Accessories] dzialo88:
AFAIK Moto have no MHL nor Slimport, so it's not able to send video through MicroUSB.
[X Play Accessories] gewe:
Depending on your TV you could use screencasting.
[X Play Accessories] brom25:
Yep I confirm it works great.

On a 4K LG TV with WebOS and also with a Miracast dongle from Gearbest :good:

Not sure why, but Android system is using more than 30% of my battery, thus battery life doesn't seem to be the great. I'm thinking I gotta give it more time considering I've only had the phone since Thursday. But was curious if anyone else is seeing the same thing. I've installed GSam Battery Monitor to see if I can figure this out. However I'm not entirely sure how to use the app. It's showing the same thing, Android system is using a lot of battery. Not sure how to tell if I have an app causing issues. Anyone have any ideas?

My S4 Mini firmware get damaged every two or three days continuously, so I flash a new one every two or three days using Odin to over come this problem... is there and radical or final Solution for this issue ?!​

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
What exactly happens? What firmware are you flashing? Have you tried another ROM till rule out hardware?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abosamy77:
More Detailes

what exactly happen is :- the mobile every 2 or 3 days stuck on samsung and mobile name screen then close and didn't want to open again .... so i flash the firmware again with the ODIN 3 , then the cycle happens again .....

I have tried a lot of firmwares (About 15 firmware) , only one of them works and the ODIN could flash it on the phone without stucking in the middle of the process .... this one is :- ( I9195XXUCPB1_I9195ITVCPB2_I9195XXUCPB1_HOME.tar )

.

.

so the question is ( Is the problem in the software, the flashing method, the Storage hardware, or another thing ? )

thanks for helping !!

Hello all. Coming from S7 edge.. So far not thrilled with battery life.. Anyone have comments on the battery life they seem to be getting?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] elite-fusion:
Pretty poor too...I feel like my iPhone 6s Plus which I have replaced with the Note 7 was getting much much much better battery life :(

I've already used Greenify to freeze a ton of apps and used the Disabler Pro to disable a bunch of crap, but still, pretty crappy!

Ugh I miss the Note 4 days, root, customer recovery/rom/bootloader/etc, was customized nicely and got a ton of battery life, plus the huge brick-like ZeroLemon battery which made my phone last almost 2 full days of heavy usage lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
Yes.

Kick down the settings. This is one of the good features within the Note 7.

Settings > Device maintenance > Battery > Power saving mode > MID > Customize > 80%/HD/Limit device performance > Apply

Within "App power monitor" in Battery settings you can manage power hungry apps by putting them to sleep when your device screen is off.

You can turn off features that you don't use.

AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube has a couple videos in managing battery life and speeding up (which also will help with battery life) the Galalxy Note 7.

Battery life has been disappointing. Granted that I'm comparing to both my OnePlus 3 and S7E. I really hope things even out after a couple of cycles. GSAM battery monitor is showing only 3 hours average screen on time after 2 full cycles. I was getting close to 4.5 on my OnePlus 3. Cmon, Samsung!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] vibrantliker:
Why is Android System the 1st on my list of battery usage? shouldn't it be screen?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] freebee269:
i have question. why are you guys even comparing battery life on a phone thats been out for 2 days to a phone that you've used for at least over a month? of course it will suck compared to those. those phones batteries have had a chance to mature and settle in. give the phone a week to settle in. sheesh.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
Same issue that the Snapdragon variant of the s7E had on release. It's so annoying.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] freebee269:
it will only be screen depending on how much you use the screen on that cycle. if your screen is off most the time then android system will use most battery because of syncing all the services you have running. this is normal and not anything to be stressing about. also this phones screen tech is very very efficient. gone are the days when screen eats up your battery.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] umair239:
Same here. Battery life has been sucking so bad on this. My Note 5 was a beast when I first got it. Note 7 battery life has been quite a disappointment so far. Will give it a few more days to see if it improves
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bschucher:
As to why complain with only two days use, the S7 didn't need time to adjust.. It's battery life was stellar out of the box. You are going to find the battery life on this is average at best. It's not a huge thing to me as I'm always around a charger but it's a bit disappointing
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] TheAnarchist1:
I still feel as though it is a wee bit too early to comment on battery life entirely, but I am not having too many issues. I came from an S7 Edge. I used Package Disabler Pro to rid myself of the bloatware (albeit there is less on a T-Mobile device). I kicked out the Touchwiz launcher and installed Nova to my liking. I am using a Material theme, and all seems well. There is a bit of increased battery usage, but it doesn't seem too terribly bad.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] vibrantliker:
This battery is bigger than the Note 5 and I remember that phone's battery being better out of the box.

Is conditioning the battery still a thing?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
I still say that if you manage your power usage by doing things like lower the resolution, etc (like AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube shown in his videos) then you can get more battery life per charge. I went from 5am to 3:30pm and still had 81% battery life left. Playing music, scanning barcodes at stores to learn about the products and price comparison, using Chrome browser and Google Now for the same, installed apps, configured apps, and much more (I only watch two five minute videos.). That is 19% of battery for 10.5 hours.

If you keep the Note 7 at highest resolution while using it, watching videos, etc. your battery life will be low. Having such good quality technology also means sacrifice on battery life.

What I am saying is while you on the go why not go for HD (720p) resolution, 80% max brightness, turning off features not using, etc. to get good battery life. Then turn on the highest quality video and features of the device when you are using them.

The tools are there. It is up to you how you use them and the results you get.

BTW - I am running Ocean HD live wallpaper. Very tricky to get live wallpaper running on this thing. But it is another app that uses battery life. Looks cool with the curve glass (especially when the fish swim through the curve glass.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] umair239:
Agreed. Phones that have stellar battery life make it obvious right out the box. This whole getting used to scene is another placebo created by people who suffer from buyer's remorse. Battery life really is disappointing compared to S7 edge and Note 5.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] PunishedSnake:
Like every phone there needs to be a few cycles on the battery before battery life is set
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] umair239:
It might be true. However, having owned almost every Samsung galaxy flagship I have found that their latest flagships do not have one particular kind of battery life. On some days it's 5 or 6hrs of SOT and on other days it's only 2 or 3hrs SOT. Some days you have Screen on top of Battery stats and other days you have Android System or Cell stand by killing it all. It's extremely frustrating.

I mean now I am getting what one would call immaculate battery life, I have 1:30 SOT and I am at 80%. I don't even know whether to be joyous for having this battery life as of now or be sad knowing I had a similar experience with Note 5 and other Samsung flagships. They just can't get it right can they?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
Wow. That's spectacular.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
I have had fairly light usage buy right now I have gone 1d 11h 16m with 3h 42m SOT. I am at 7% so I am getting ready to plug in but that isn't bad to me.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] PunishedSnake:
Looks good I have a similar sit at 85%

But then again I'm at my third cycle I expect it will get better as all other phones I had have done
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xganonx:
My note 7 battery life so far is very good. At 8 am I had 70% now is 10:10 and still have 7%. Without battery save. (I use my phone a lot for work ..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] spridell:
Been using my phone for little over a day now.

When i go into "battery usage" the only thing listed is Android System and its at 100%

Is that normal for one day use of new phone?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] corbs24:
Is your Wi-Fi on? Only reason I'm asking because i had mine on and had andrpif system at 100 % .omce i turned it off and on 4g, that went away
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] spridell:
yes

actually i have been on wifi non stop for the last day. Havent left my home wifi area.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] corbs24:
Maybe that could be it, I had Wi-Fi on all day and I had 100 % .Once i turned it off, restarted phone, let the phone do ots thing. 30 mins later check usage and it is back to normal with hoe much each app is using and not showing just the system. I know their was a wifi bug that wpuld do that (system 100%).
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] jason504:
If I am not mistaken doesn't the S7 edge have a bigger battery and a smaller screen? Just maybe that's why battery life is a little better? I am coming from a Nexus 6 and the Note 7 has way better battery life.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

To me if I get 4 to 5 hr of OST I am cool. But I am not going to lower my screen brightness and I am not going to lower the performance of my phone to save a little battery. What the point in having a phone with great performance and a great screen if your just going to turn it down.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I'm on my second full day with my Note 7 and today is more typical of what its daily usage will be. I've been up since about 9 am, it's 3:15 now and I have 85% battery. It has little screen on time but almost four hours of bluetoothing to my headphones and playing music. It looks like AOD is a bit of a drain.

My experience is like many have related. A new phone... or a new ROM... will take a battery several charging cycles to "settle in."

Not really. Never turned on power saving mode. WiFi was always on, Location was on, I did some gaming, Youtube, listening to music, drawing on S Notes, browsing XDA and Reddit.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Brightness is at about 25%, and power saving was off so I didn't lower the resolution
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] jason504:
See I can't do that I don't like my brightness that low it has to be over half.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bschucher:
Less than two moderate light use.... 81%
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
I got no problems here.

I use it the same as i use my s7 edge and the batter seems about the same. Maybe a 2-4 % less battery then what my s7 edge would be at.

But i also havent done any power saving yet.

I find the batteries go up after some days. Some cahce gets created and stuff.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] umair239:
I don't know about batteries getting better after certain days. With Samsung battery life is good one day and horrible the other. I posted a screenshot of my Note 7 giving me 1hr SOT with 81% left in tank a few days ago which is more than good for me.

And right now, I am on 58 minutes of SOT with 55% battery remaining with Android System and Android iOS taking most battery. Terrible!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Few things I did which improved my battery:

1. Switched to Medium power saving. I can't tell much difference with the screen down to FHD. Apps still load as fast. Haven't run any games but I assume since they are going to run on HD that it will run much better.

2. Under battery setting all the way down there is "Unmonitored apps". Removed apps in there that were not being monitored but are using battery.

3. Charged overnight with fast charging disabled.

Today I used google maps to navigate through traffic, went on amazon.com to set up my amazon card payment and paid my bill. Read a few threads on xda. Checked email and a few other things. Total screen time so far is 1 hour and 5 min and I'm down to 82% Based on this, I should get atleast 5 hour SOT. I used to just get about 4. I'll keep it like this for now until I find any reason to go back to normal power mode.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] xile6:
Well mines does a little better after a few days. Everything makes its cahce and internet useage is lower.

But thats just me. I guess because the frist few days im still setting things up in redownloading in stuff.

I have two Note 7s on my account. One for me and one for my brother. His Note 7 had only about 2:30 SOT. Chances of both of us having a lemon are petty slim. I'll have to blame the phone guys. Sorry but so far it's been garbage compared to even Note 5. Disappointed

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GoogleAndroid:
I just picked up my T-Mobile Note 7 on Tuesday night. Yesterday the battery life was pretty bad. I let it die completely and charged it to full last night. Today, I'm happy to report that I got amazing battery life. I unplugged it at 9:30 this morning, it is now 10 at night and I have 10% left with 4 hours SOT. This is the only phone I've had besides the Nexus 6 that could pass 3 hours SOT. Granted, that may change over the next few days but I don't see why it would. Very happy with this phone so far, especially coming from an S6 Edge with atrocious battery life.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] umair239:
Tomorrow you'll get crappy battery life again my friend. Sorry to burst your bubble but I've had Samsung devices for years and I can tell you from experience they don't have consistent battery life in any of their device. One day you get 6hrs sot and the next you get only 2:45 mins sot. Keep us posted when you get similar battery stats for about a three days. Good for you though.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] _INSPIREed:
Don't let any person tell you the battery life that you can get on your phone. I disagree [MENTION=980792]umair239[/MENTION] . I've had every note since the first. Some notes were better thsn other as far as battery life is concerned but i always had CONSISTENT battery life on them. Whether it was consistently bad or consistently good. I'm on my 2nd note 7 because of a bad unit but this second one seems to be good as far as thr last two days are concerned . Anywhere between 4.5 to 6 hours SOT depending on if i gsme.

Phenomenal battery life so far for me
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I was having bad battery life then I decided to factory reset. I did it through the menu. After restart I went to stock recovery and wiped data.

After reboot I did not set up my Gmail etc. Said no on the Google reporting etc. Once I was at the home screen then I set up my Gmail account and went to Google play and did not allow it to restore any app. I let my Google contact sync. Restored my texts, settings, documents with smart switch from a sd card back up. Logged in to my Samsung account so I can apply the theme I bought and that prompted to download a bunch of the samsung apps. I did afterwards install android wear, amazon, elixir2, helium, Pokémon, SwiftKey, Tapatalk.

After I fully charged went with my friend to hunt for Pokémon for a good 2.5 hours. Got home and used my phone for a bit. By the time I went to sleep my battery was at 48%. 6 hours later woke up and my battery went down to 44%. I was shocked to see that. So I check my battery stats and here is screen shot.

8:48am

I checked this at 11:11am to see how many hours I played Pokémon last night

Checked again at 11:11am

And again at 11:45am

Again at 2:38pm

Last screenshot before I charge her

So next day this is my battery stat after fully charging when I woke up. By the way phone drained 4% during my 2nd night sleep (7 hours) after this factory reset. So been on XDA and some surfing today.
