Yes I followed this guide. I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock. Fastboot devices did not show my device, so I installed driver once again. Still having the same problem.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongst:
Sounds like the drivers are not installed correctly, is your zuk visible in windows device manager?

You can try this drivers too, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Zy8uoEfFKLSC0wNXhaRVRWWEk/view?usp=drivesdk

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaraKumar:
It is visible under portable devices. There is also something called ShenQi composite ADB interface under ShenQi ADB device. I tried this driver too didn't work.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoh2010:
dude I got exactly the same problem. need to flash a new rom as stock is unusable. tried everything; USB debugging, own unlock, reinstalling drivers, different USB cables, etc.

shows as shenqi hs-usb in device manager, then just as android device with a yellow exclamation mark when in fastboot.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaraKumar:
Someone pls help us we can't root our phone!!! Maybe because we use 64bit windowed and the drives are 32 bit? Senior members please help
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongst:
The drivers also work on 64bit, I used windows 10 64bit and no problem. Which drivers u use?

Edit: OK, I remember... If you follow the all in one tool it should work also like using without tool over adb.

I tried that, no luck.

I did see somewhere that the Zuk Z1 isn't recognised as a fastboot device and there's some code you need to write after fastboot in adb?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaraKumar:
Does som1 know what code this is? How come some people can root without any problems? Are our phones buggy? This is frustrating there is no cos 13 and we can't use cm13 too.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
When pertaining to security, anyone concerned that One Plus is a Chinese company?

Could the Chinese government require a backdoor from them?

Thoughts and comments?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] F4uzan:
If you really are concerned with security issue from the company, just flash a custom ROM that is not based on Oxygen or Hydrogen and a custom kernel. That should be enough to wipe off the OEM traces, whatever it is.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] _Man0waR_:
As if a custom rom/kernel would be enough if they really wanted to add a backdoor. Hardware backdoors could be almost impossible to detect for example.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nikhil.agrawal:
why only chinese companies? how do you american companies arent doing the same? after all pretty much every phone is manufactured in china.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] GeneralDisaray2:
...when you unlock bootloader, root, and flash Custom ROMs...all security goes out the window anyways.

In this day and age, privacy really doesn't exist. Otherwise, don't use a phone at all or use prepaid temporary phones and throw them away every 2 weeks and don't use any Google or cloud services. They all can be compromised (either by a Gov't or the company itself.)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] fadedout:
It's a serious concern, one this is hardly mitigated by the use of a third-party ROM and kernel. If the PLA (China's Army) is anything like the NSA, and I have every reason to believe they are (if not worse), they most certainly can and will require Chinese OEMs to both actively and passively subvert the security of their devices. I would think the most devastating (and also quite difficult to detect) vector would be the modem baseband. It would give them the ability to intercept all calls and texts, remotely install additional implants, and have complete access to the phone's storage.

Of course the possibility also remains for hardware backdoors, but seeing as how even U.S. companies source many of their chips from China, this concern isn't exclusive to Chinese OEMs.

Another possibility would be malware embedded in the stock ROM, within a system app, or within a shady "partner" application. It could be reporting back data as innocuous as usage or advertising analytics. This is the sort of thing that could be mitigated with a custom ROM or perhaps just by debloating the stock ROM.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] XpellCZ:
I am not concerned at all. They make great phones.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] _Man0waR_:
Regarding custom roms, I don't agree that they are always bad for security. If you have a phone that don't receive the monthly security updates, you will be glad that cm can provide a rom with those patches. If you don't root and if you encrypt your phone, you should be secure enough for your needs. (stolen phone, hiding stuff from your wife...).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jofreidr:
I'll just put this simply. I've got a splitting headache and I've been staring at various web pages for hours trying to (unsuccessfully) unlock the bootloader on my g4 so I can install twrp and root the thing. I'm about ready to kill someone. don't know who, nobody is around.

anyway.. I need a guide on how to transform my LG G4 US99120c US Cellular mobile device running Android 6.0 Marshmallow from a battery-draining eyeball-paining bright white piece of techno-trash into a rooted device with custom recovery that I can use on a regular basis without experiencing severe migraines because I can't delete stuff off the SD card due to carriers being pricks about released phones.

yes, I've tried google. Yes, I've tried searching the forums. If I hadn't done that already I wouldn't be posting here. please don't waste my time with "try the search feature".. I'm here because this is my last viable option for getting the damn thing working right. Please don't just link me to some random instruction manual either. I have bad luck with links.

If anyone does write me with help, write it for an idiot. Normally I'm pretty good at picking things up quickly but I seem to have come down with something the past couple days so I'm also a bit under the weather.. right around the idiot quotient.

I don't want to downgrade, I don't want to install half a dozen things or flash my whatchamacallit (got arrested last time I did that). I want to root the device, and possibly install xposed so I can change everything thats sharp white to a dull black. I do not want to do anything else at all but make calls, text, watch vids, listen to music and play the occasional game.

Thank you very much for your time, and a colossal chunk of gratitude for anyone who wants to take up this task.

FTR: I'm a former samsung user, so if you need to make comparisons I suggest using those. I'll understand 'em.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
ill lay it on wasy for you......... you cant unlock bootloader. you cant install twrp and you cant root MM. not unless bootloader unlocked. wich your phone cant be unlocked..

root only on locked bootloader on LP.

there isnt a way and there will never be one.. to bypass and be able to install twrp..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jofreidr:
well that explains why fastboot refuses to acknowledge the existence of the phone. I guess.

never say never tho m8, geohot should be proof enough of that for you. looks like I can't downgrade either.

guess I'll have to stick with my s5.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] srcLegend:
Since I might return my Note 7, I'd have to restore it back to stock state (I have rooted it and deleted some system apps, without backups -_-)

Where can I find the PDA/CSC number on my phone, so that I can be sure about which firmware I would need?

I have 2 numbers that I am not sure which I am looking for ;

Baseband Version : N930FXXU1APGD

Build Number : MMB29K.N930FXXU1APGI
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zanderswigan:
If you're waiting for a replacement from Samsung I wouldn't bother. You'll get a new one in exchange for the old one there and then. Being rooted shouldn't cause you any problems this is a recall not a warranty repair/replacement.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] JazonX:
They wouldn't bother about all those. Mine was rooted as well, and when I handed it over - It had SuperSu as well. They didn't check that deep, just accessories and device IMEI.

However, to completely turn into stock/Factory State - I'd suggest to use Emergency Device Recovery Option in SmartSwitch PC.

It will get the correct firmware through your Serial Number.

Same problem with LED on Moto G 2015

My daughters phone has this same problem, just turned on one day and has never turned off even when powered off. I would like to avoid rooting, but would if needed in order to use some of the apps available but require root. Have not factory reset yet. Maybe opening it up and disconnecting the battery. Any ideas. Thanks
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggerman0421:
Same thing happened to me about three months ago. I had the phone in my pocket while working in the yard. I guess I was sweating too much, phone was wet when I took out out. The LED was on and stayed that way for a while, although it did get dimmer over the next few weeks. Finally after about a month, the LED went out and hasn't turned back on since. Just give it time and see what happens.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arun356y:
same thing happened to me, I was unaware of the fact that moto g3 has a led, it would be on even when the phone is switched off, but after days the led faded away on its own but not completely I until I rooted and tried different ROMs, now on stock ROM and the led is no more shining.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitmatter:
I tried to unroot my T-Mobile Galaxy S6. I tried to go the easy route and just unroot through SuperSU. As soon as I did that, it went straight into a boot loop. I immediately loaded it into the recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset the phone and to wipe the cache partition. That did no good either. I then tried to flash the stock T-Mobile S6 firmware(5.0.2) onto it. Alas, that fails too. Fails at NAND Write Start. When I was rooting, I had this same issue but I can't remember what I did to fix that issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingRaheel:
Your device partition might be formatted in someother format. Which version of supersu did u use for rooting? System mode or systemless? Did u do any modifications to the file system, like uninstalling any system app? Are u able to boot into recovery? If so stock recovery or custom recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitmatter:
I have no idea what version of SuperSU I used and if it was system mode or systemless. I didn't do any modifications to my file system. Yes, I can boot into recovery. (I think its stock??)

Sorry, I am pretty new to this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If it's failing at sboot.bin, then that usually means you are trying to install a version that is older than the one currently installed. Reboot to recovery (I'm assuming you're still on the stock one...?) and check the version there and then download / install that one. If you have a custom recovery, then just download the newest one you can find and should be fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitmatter:
That makes sense! I was going to try that. But, I didn't have enough time to try it before I had to go to sleep. I will try that as soon as I get home. My friend says that I also need to install TWRP in order to flash my phone. Is that correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingRaheel:
TWRP is a custom recovery thats required only when u want to flash custom zip files like custom roms, kernels, mods etc...it has no connection with flashing a firmware

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
Hello friends,

I recently bought Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) in August 2016. It is made in India.

I have confusion over which fingerprint sensor is on my device. Is it FPC or Goodix?

I am attaching some screenshots, which leads to think that my device may have FPC fingerprint sensor.

Friends, help me to identify FP sensor on my device. Thanks in advance. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NABENDU1:
I have the Redmi Note 3 (2gb/16gb) from the first flash sale in India ( I think March 10 , 2016 ) and ur touch panel , LCD and camera sensors are identical to mine . I can't for sure tell urs is goodix or fpc but I noticed that u have a different battery id . maybe that -2% bug might be there if u flash an incompatible kernel
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
I had flashed CM 13 build but I didn't face 2% battery bug yet :)

But I got FC while opening Security tab and no option to configure fingerprint also :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
It's confirmed now. I have FPC sensor. Also no 2% battery bug for me and both cameras work fine. :o:o:o :laugh::laugh::laugh: :good::good::good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
How did you confirm?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
Because it is working with official CM 13 as well as custom kernels too.......:D

Currently custom ROMs based on official CM 13 and custom kernels for CM / AOSP not support Goodix FP.

So my device definitely have FPC fingerprint sensor ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
Ok,so i haven't flashed cm 13 but i previously flashed radon and blaze kernel and my FP was working,so it means i have fpc FP sensor?

Ps-i have goodix and fpc both folder in root/data/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
On which ROM did you flash Radon and Blaze kernels ??

check this folder "/root/sys/class/input" There will be folders like input0...... input1 and like this.... open that folder and open "name" file in that folder wtih text viewer and check.

Also can you able to take selfies with FP scanner ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
Ok i flashed radon and blaze while i was on miui 8 6.8.18(LP).

Currently i am on miui 8 6.9.9(MM).

I am able to take selfies with FP scanner and those name files are attached in SS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
check for other input folders too..... and you may find fpc or goodix related info in it.

Also do one thing, go to about phone..... tap 5 times on cpu..... you will get a notification of bug report creation..... complete it.....

Then a file will be created in internal storage/MIUI/bug report.zip, extract it

Open that file, there will be a text file. Open that and check for this value "androidboot.fingerprintsensor" or "androidboot.fpsensor" and check what is after "=" mark.... if it is "fpc" then you have FPC fp scanner.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
Ok i found input 9 folder and in the name file it is written fpc , attached in SS

And about bug report ,there are like 4-5 text file, searched for androidboot.fingerprint and androidboot.fpsensor ,but there are not a single entry like that

One thing i like to mention i found something like this in bugreportfiles which is attached in SS too.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
You have FPC fingerprint scanner :o
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
Thanx i thought so. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
I also have fpc related file in input9 folder. I was on MIUI 8 v6.9.9 MM based. And your phone configuration looks same. I think in India they have sold devices with FPC, tianma panel, and samsung camera modules
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NVDX11:
Yea i saw your pics in OP,the version mentioned for sensors are same and my phone is also made in india.

Thanx for the help , detection of which FP is on phone was a confusing becuz some ppl mentioned aida64 is also giving false positive results.

Needed some strong evidence. :laugh: :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bravonova:
Yeah... many reported that.... but with aforementioned steps we can conclude which FP sensor our device may have :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Ajendra25:
I've checkd it.. Input9 folder contains Name as "uinput-fpc"

That means I've FPC sensor???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bloodytolits:
In terminal emulator

Type su

Grant root access

Type cat /proc/cmdline

Find and check androidboot.fpsensor=****

Or just flash any ROM that would guaranteed break goodix for easier checking. XD

Searching for goodix on the root directory on mine yields lots of results so I first thought I have goodix. But after flashing several ROMs and not one breaking my FP, now I know I have FPC.
