pull the battery otu, choose download, press all buttons on device and start, when process started release buttons and proceed..i tryed 5 times without battery and finally did it.. with flash tool. load scatter file and choose only download, after a minute green pass appears, disconnect phone, put battery in and boot, 10 minutes booting!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ns.macd:
Thanks - I have successfully flashed it this way many times and got the download to 100% with the green tick, the same as your screenshot, but it still will not boot or show any sign of activity with or without the battery (There is not even any sign that it is charging).

When plugged to the PC, device manager recognises that something is plugged in, but just disconnects and reconnects, without actually finding the phone.

I have left the device on a charger for more than enough time. It won't even show the charging icon.

I have tried to hold the power button for 1+minutes.

I have tried to hold power+vol down for 1+minutes.

I have heard that there is a qualcomm equivalent of sbf and odin. I tried the qualcomm site, but it asked me to register to download the files. I tried making an account, but couldn't gain access.

Is there any way to force the device into bootloader even though it appears dead?

When i go to /sys/class/power_supply/battery and open the file batt_type with a text editor, in my case with a manufacturated china phone in the back, says SDI, is in this file the origin of the battery?

Yep. You've got a suspect battery.

And any here with atl?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
I think everyone in xda with a note 7 has SDI battery right now.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bethedealer:
I doubt this file provides accurate information. I have a HK version N7, whose battery should be made by ATL. However the file shows SDI.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
hi bethedealer, are you based in HK? me too. i've actually been very suspicious of Samsung HK's vague, and delayed, announcement that their batch of phones "are unaffected". I still remember how weird it was on Friday seeing the Note 7 GLOBAL RECALL news on the net, yet HK stores were still selling the phone openly.

i think if any HK Note 7s were to catch fire, Samsung HK can and should get a lot of **** for being so evasive about the news.

also, side question: may i please know how you guys are checking the battery info/source? i don't know how...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bethedealer:
I'm from HK. From the news several days ago about the global recall, we all found wired and were joking that HK is not part of the globe. Then Samsung HK announced in FB that as phones sold in HK and China has different battery supplier so the recall doesn't apply.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
i just checked, my Singapore variant also says "SDI" in the battery type file. hey bethedealer, if you know anyone else with a HK Note 7, or if you post on the HK Chinese forums, can you please ask them to also check their battery type? the reason i ask is because i'm wondering if any of them say ATL (and HK ones should, in theory, say ATL instead of SDI)... unless these files really are just nonsense. I would do it myself but my Chinese typing ability is terrible.

UPDATE: oops, just saw you post it on Discuss.hk! hahah thanks.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] HNIC215:
I wonder why I don't have a batt_type file?

I have an SM-N930FD variant, originally from UAE and it says "Made in Vietnam"

There is no folder called battery and nothing else called batt_type.

China, Vietnam and Korea, all devices says SDI...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dermotti:
Only Chinese models sold in China have ATL batteries. Everyone else got SDI/ATL
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pete4k:
As far as I know, Samsung couldn't put SDI batteries in phones destined for Chinese market due to some licensing issues (to protect their market China won't license foreign made batteries), so that should explain why China and HK are not included in recall, they all should have ATL batt. As for that file being accurate, my 3 yr old Note 3 has the same file and it also says SDI. Now, originally my Note 3 had battery which was assembled in China from SDI cells made in Korea. I think the problem with N7 batteries is not cells themselves, but how they were assembled, so maybe some phones using SDI cells may still have been assembled in China. But it may be impossible to figure where batteries were assembled and therefore global recall.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
I just posted this in the other "who made your battery?" thread. All the battery cells are made by SDI. Third parties package the cells in to battery packs. It is most likely that testing apps read the cell and not who packaged it. So everyone has a SDI battery but the problem isn't with the cell it's with who packaged it.

Samsung concluded that the faulty batteries are to blame for the explosions. Samsung SDI is the group within Samsung that makes batteries for the Galaxy Note 7. That is, Samsung SDI produces the battery cell, but the battery pack production is outsourced to other firms. Korean ITM Semiconductor produces the battery pack for the Galaxy Note 7’s that are sold in Korea. ITM’s batteries seem to have been the ones that exploded. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology. ​

I'm running Emotion Revolution ROM R17 with Oscar Kernel r13. My data has been wonky lately and things have gone haywire. The data was working, then it stopped working. After flashing a data fix as well as reflashing the kernel, the data came back to working. In my settings I can't see the option to add/modify APNs. Was thinking of maybe modifying things using root explorer? Any ideas on how to get MMS working? Using Textra, in the settings, I have the proper port and information for MMS but still can't send/receive anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
I was playing around with a few settings on my G5 today when I thought of something - the real strength of the SD820 SOC lies in its GPU, not the CPU. Low and behold I found that enabling "Force GPU Rendering" shaves several tenths of a second off of the average input-to-response time for just about everything you do on this phone. I know it may use a bit more battery having it on, but the effect is quite striking. To demonstrate the difference, try double tapping to wake your screen without the option enabled and then try again with the option on. You should notice a remarkable jump in response time. Even in launching apps it is a very noticeable gain. Just thought I'd pass this on to those who haven't tried it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nash211:
Yup working great for me
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sevsman:
Wowcha, it's incredibly faster when running like this, even typing runs quicker!

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
You're very welcome! :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pphish20:
I think it also saves battery life as it takes stress off the CPU... If rooted install a kernel mngr app and view cpu-freq times... It stays low

And GPU sits just above its lowest freq with normal use.

So your phone stays cooler works faster and gets better battery life! Now just turn down those animations to .5x

And voilà! Better battery life!

The SD820 is truly magnificent and our version doesn't explode!

Do you think it really saves a bit of battery compared to leaving it off? If it does save some battery I think I'll give it a whirl
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sevsman:
The OP said it may cause a little extra battery drain, but, I've been using it, and I'll say that battery impact is entirely negligible and the speed of openings apps is extremely noticeable!!

I do however, always have animations turned off when I run any Android device.

Why forsake speed for a little useless animation and battery drain is what I say!!

Nathan
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
What exactly are you guys seeing? I tried enabling and disabling it 10 times and I cant see any difference.. I tried double tap to wake up, swiping, typing, opening apps... Everything feels the same..
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PHYCLOPSH:
By offloading all on-screen graphics processing from the CPU (rather than just specified instances like in the case of 3D graphics), it is able to save valuable process time and thus respond to user commands more quickly. There is definitely a real difference here.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluerain28:
Thanks for the tip. This helped me. And I noticed the difference too. :victory:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
Force GPU rendering: This setting forces apps to use hardware 2D rendering, even if they were written to not use it. It can make things look great, or it can temporarily bork your phone. Use with care. (link)

GPU consumes more power the CPU, hence you may observe 5-15% lower battery life with option enabled. (link)

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Also most apps that support it have it enabled in the settings. It's off by default for battery life and compatibility issues, including making some games slower as they optimise between what to pass to GPU and not. Setting the flag overrides these optimisations.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLogicalGamer:
In theory couldn't it make the phone run cooler though?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Customromlover99:
I got my phone last week on friday . It came with the software version v10c . I got 6 hours sot and the phone did not heat up without gpu rendering beeing enabled . On sataurday i updated to v10i and the phone got really hot that day and on sinday too . I tried to install v10d via Lg up but failed at it . I enabled force gpu rendering today and my device didnt get hot anymore . I am sitting at 75% with 2 hours screen on time . I was mostly on XDA and was using chrome . So i dont think , that the battery life decreases if you enable force gpu rendering .

Hello everyone :)

After reading a lot of tutorials on how to make OEM packages and testing for a few days, I am now releasing my first OEM Package compilation ;)

Widcomm Bluetooth Stack 0.3 for hermes

Edited from the 0.3 cab file, this is an OEM package that you can cook using Pandora or Hypercore Kitchen. Just simply place it into the OEM folder of your build and give it a try :D

Link here:

Widcomm Bluetooth Stack for Hermes

please gimme a feedback if it works on your kitchen or not :D

-

a few things before you include this package in your kitchen/cooking:

1.) it will occupy roughly 8mb of rom space, yes, it is costly, but in return you can have ftp browsing, a2dp, HID input (mouse/keyboard), etc.

2.) I have yet to try removing the original microsoft stack and only cook the widcomm into a rom, but i doubt it would be a problem as it is completely independent.

3.) by default, when your device first boots, it will be turned on. But once you turn it off, it stays off even after you reboot. the status sticks.

4.) make sure you turn off any OBEX bluetooth support and original microsoft a2dp support, as it might cause problems ( you can turn them off in advanced config by Schaps)

5.) Comm Managers can not trigger the on/off for this widcomm stack at the moment, I may try to make an rgu entry to modify this later, if it is possible

leave me any feedback if you have tried cooking this into your rom and runs successfully! i may modify this to make it compatible for Artemis, Prophet, or other devices =)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
Credit goes to SuperDave for originally writing the 0.3 Widcomm :D

Original Post

I forgot to add the shortcuts for WirelessPower.lnk and WirelessPowerConfig.lnk into the Program Menu folder, I guess i will do that later =) too lazy to edit initflashfiles and shortcuts :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
Re:updated the file with shortcut to turn on bluetooth stack by buttons. by the way, once this is cooked you can use both microsoft stack and widcomm stack (not together at the same time but the stack can be used alternatively without installing/uninstalling the widcomm stack).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] benayed:
Thanks !!!

Thank you for making this available. I am struggling with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack as it it not compatible with Mobile 6. I was forced to downgrade to 5 for about 3 months now.

Do you happen to have an image that already has this stack in it ? if not then I will try to create one today.

Thanks Again !!!!

For the slow kids in class...

What is this?

-AD
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] benayed:
Widcomm

Microsoft Bluetooth stack is not known to be the most robust implementation of Bluetooth.

Windcomm is in theory a better stack that should give better compatibility experience in general.

The issue it was not packaged for the Hermes and there is an effort underway to make it work.

I tested this version a bit today. it seems to work but I did not have an audio device to test with. I will try later from home.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dluisao:
ok thank you i try this
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
yeah, this stack is meant to make widcomm drivers to work on hermes.

one thing i forgot to mention, you would need to manually make a BTTrayCE.lnk (shortcut) to %startup% so that it will have a tray icon in your system.

I'll upload a newer OEM package later tonight when i got home :D

(by the way it's tested to work on all languages).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marsb007:
will this work on the Kaiser also or will it need to be ported for that platform separately?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LazPL:
Cook in?

@Kazuni:

Does the stack need to be cooked in or can it also be installed to an existing configuration? If so, could you please provide a CAB version?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
it doesnt need to be cooked in. infact the link i provided in the first post had listed the source for the cab :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
it will also work on kaiser, but kaiser roms are not cookable yet, so look for the cab.

I will get it fixed up today it's no big deal. I should get my phone back today also. I can build the kernel from source in the cm tree and the device so I updated the kernel last night and added ntfs support built in the kernel.

What got it was the modemst1/2 partitions. twrp official you are supposed to mark them as subpartition. Flashfire and my personal opinion i rather mark them as a separate partition to be safe. You can see what I am talking about in the fstab in the source. Anyways when it went to restore modemst1 it failed which ment it had been corrupt upon restore. So I am debating with myself as whether to just remove them from twrp since its a twrp issue. Than you can use a seperate program to backup restore your efs encase **** happens.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcadduono:
fyi you can just

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384

then modemst1 and modemst2 will regenerate on boot. they are just a caching area for your modem firmware (run from modem partition)

if you zero them out, the modem firmware will regenerate them fresh on next boot ;)

if they have random data on them, the modem will panic though.

ps. twrp is now official for G9350, G9300, and G9308! (if you don't mind, saving you some work :p)

i guess you can also try flashing in odin: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/wipe_modemst.tar.md5
