Of course it does you think people are gojg to purchase note 7 full price after a massive recal for a major safety issue like going up in flames. No way some incentives are needed to get people back. You will see.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bselesnew:
Makes no sense, this also goes to show whats wrong with this generation of entitlement. Samsung does not owe us any type of compensation for what has happened with the Note 7. Stuff happens. If they just so happen to feel generous then so be it but other than that be happy with your phone or go else ware.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
hey, think, think, you really believe samsung is going to sell note 7 a the price of a second rate device? come on, be serious
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tungsten c:
We will see ......I like Samsung and I wiill get one no matter what, I have s Note 3 now but lets face Note 7 for the mass consumer its pretty much dead. It blows up dude that is not jst an antenna problem. It will take a pretty heavy dutty propaganda campaign to turn the tide on this one. Samsung will offer incentives how much its any ones guess but right now you can get cases etc for it at a pretty low price. Check Amazon.

The Note 7 recall could change how the public sees Samsung smartphones, and that is arguably the biggest challenge that the company is facing right now.

Read this ar another forum exactly my point.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I disagree.

They have put consumers in danger and for some caused injuries and damage. I would say that goes beyond "stuff happens".

For others whose devices have not exploded (like mine) it has certainly cause differing levels of stress and nervousness having the device not knowing if or when it will pop. Im a pretty chill guy but Id be lying if I said it didnt worry me at this point when i charge device. And this whole ordeal has changed how I use my device day to day which is not acceptable.

Then there is samsung asking for everyone to power down the devices and use what exactly in place of it? Not everyone is fortunate to have multiple devices lying around.

Then there is the train wreck of a recall...ive signed up for it and called numerous times and none of the CSRs knows anything and all give different answers which then causes more stress and uneasiness as you have no clue whats going on and clearly neither do they.

Oh and they expect us to drive and drop the defective devices off at drop points. Easy enough for some not for others...me personally im not lifting a finger to drop my old one off anywhere...i have better things to do. You want it...come and pick it up...you screwed it up in the first place.

Then theres the issue of going on an airplane with it...not even going to go there.

Oh yeah.. what about those of us who spent $50+ for ghost armour or similiar things front and back? Of course i have to pay for it AGAIN when i get my new device...whenever the hell that may be. Thats also not acceptable, samsung should be paying for it.

So yeah....your damn straight they owe us, the people who pre ordered and do so every single year and buy multiple samsung devices each year for many years all outright. And in the Note 7s case If I pay $1200 for a device i damn sure do not expect it to blow up in my face...literally

I am the least self entitled person and anyone here who knows me knows thats true but im this case yes I am expecting compensation from samsung for this major screw up.

Stuff happens this is true, but if it was that minor would the US and CAN governments be involved? Highly unlikely.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

This will absolutely change the publics opinion and trust in samsung....to a massive degree.

Its not the recall thats going to cost them its the loss of trust from the public which equals lost current sales and future sales and in the long run market share. Their market share has already droppef and it will get worse before it gets better.

They will need to bend over backwards with incentives and freebees to get people back to where we were in buying samung products.

This goes well beyond mobile as well...dont think for a second this wont hurt their other areas of interest..TVs,appliances etc
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tungsten c:
For informational purpose only how come you paid 1200 dollars for your phone? In US is onky around 650 and hiw come you can't return it and get your money back? Here you can get your money back or get another phone.

I still think once they fix it it wil be cheaper to get one or there will be great incentives.

Time will tell i am waiting a month or two to upgrade to one once the problems are fix.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Im in canada...and bought it outright..no upgrade.they cost $1050 plus taxes which puts the total cost around $1200

Then i traded my crap locked snapdragon model for a exynos unit (new). I am getting another one...just hasnt shown up yet.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bboy486:
Then Samsung will have to drop the price or do a bundle to get back buyers.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
They will need to both and then some
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tungsten c:
I believe the Note 7 its pretty much a done deal. Only people like us that really want the phone will purchase one. Main stream I believe the note 7 missed the station long time ago. On the other hand even died hards like us dont like to give our money away. I have been searching and I will consider something like the moto z force if the price of the Note 7 remains the same. Remember its on a no fly list and will take a while to be removed if ever. Note 7 its a tainted phone untill the day it dies. Its sad but in reality , the bad perception out there will not change.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stump24:
This has just started and my OCD is driving me crazy trying to figure it out. For the last year or so everytime I would get a text message the preview would pop up and go away if I didn't choose to view it or close it. Then there would be a envelope symbol on the banner indicating I have an unread text. Now all of a sudden the same thing happens except that the envelope indicator only shows while the pop up window comes on. Then it disappears at the same time as the pop up. So if I unlock my phone I no longer have any indication that I have a missed text unless I go to my home screen and look at the message icon at the bottom of my phone. This is also happening with missed calls. Any ideas?

Solution Can Be Found HERE.

:) :D :cool:

Thanks for Viewing. :)

I want to take a Backup of Stock Recovery , But failed in all attempts. :(

So please can someone give me the required Stock Recovery Image(.img) file.

Details of my Mobile Phone:

Make:Lava

Model:Pixel V1

Android Version: 6.0(Marshmallow) {as per setting>about phone}

Android security patch level:1 August 2016 {as per setting>about phone}

Build number:Lava_PixelV1_S040_20160801 {as per setting>about phone}

[If more Details required, Please do ask]

Why I need Backup of Stock Recovery?

So that I can Install TWRP , and use Stock Recovery to install OTA Updates.

Which methods I tried?

I tried almost all methods except those which replaces Stock Recovery.

Since my aim is to take Backup of Stock Recovery I did not tried those.

Which methods I tried without replacing Stock Recovery?

1. Rooting the Phone without replacing Stock Recovery.

a. Using android version (.apk)

Example: iRoot , Kingo Root , King Root.

All of the above Failed , even after trying for several attempts for each APK.

b. Using PC version [Did not use the one's which replace Stock Recovery]

Example : iRoot , [can not remember other PC version right now, i'll update when i can]

The above Failed , even after trying for several attempts.

After Rooting there is a method to Extract Stock Recovery from Recovery partition , But did not bothered since my phone was not getting Rooted. :p

2. Soft Booting a Custom Recovery.

Example Commands:

1. fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

2. fastboot boot recovery.img

3. fastboot -c "your_default_command_line lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img [I have misplaced that command line, cannot find, may update later]

But as always Failed. :crying:

I was getting some similar error:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.715s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.596s

Note : I am new to This stuff and to Android OS. Please Understand. :o

I also know that there is a method to extract Stock Recovery from Stock ROM , But I do not Know how to do that.

Note to Moderator : I am new to this Forum, so if I made any mistakes or broke rule's please do correct me.

Please do not delete the post or ban me , I am ready to correct myself.

So please Kindly Help me. :)

Thanking You. :D

So you have unrooted Pixel V1 and want to make backup of stock recovery...CORRECT? If yes..I can help
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Yes ! Sir. :o

Sorry for late Reply , I had lost hope! :( , & did not see this post. :angel:

Thank you for the reply. :good:

waiting for further Instruction. :confused:

Thank You. :)
[Lava Pixel V1] Suraj Pandey:
You can get your stock recovery from stock ROM extract and you will see a recovery.IMG that it is

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BynLDiCMvBUCQUdFVXBMQzhaaW8

But that will be useless

OTA cannot be installed unless you have a pure stock ROM

What I suggest is install TWRP and let it replace the stock recovery. Reason:- You can install OTA using TWRP
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Sir,

Thanks for the Link, I already had that ZIP file as a backup if I messed any thing, and I have successfully extracted recovery.img.

BUT as you said "that will be useless" as "OTA cannot be installed unless you have a pure stock ROM", I am deducing that for that recovery it needs same stock ROM.(Just tell me if I m right or wrong of this assumption).

Now, "You can install OTA using TWRP" , I read on this forum that OTA cannot be installed using TWRP due to some checks in OTA unless those checks R removed.(Reff).

If this is not the case Please tell me the procedure to install OTA using TWRP.

Thanking You.

EDIT 1: I am going to root my phone after my Internal Test which will end next week.

Edit 2: If the latest TWRP(Reff1&Reff2) has the ability to install OTA, then I guess my problem is solved.
[Lava Pixel V1] Suraj Pandey:
Yeah u r right- recovery gets updated with an OTA update.(That's why your assumption is right)

For installing OTA through TWRP you will have to remove the checks..i.e get prop lines from updater script in the OTA package..(Don't worry.. there is a TWRP-ready package available - to install through TWRP)

But these packages will only work if u don't change system files--mainly build.prop and system apps(DON'T UNINSTALL THEM )

THAT'S IT

BUT SPECIFY ME THE REASON FOR TWRP INSTALLATION- ROM or ROOT
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Sir, Thanks for your kind help and answering my queries.

let me put my Question in point form.

[1]Yesterday I have Successfully Flashed TWRP and then Installed SuperSU v2.78 (systemless).

but , Installing SuperSU v2.78 (systemless), does it replace any /system files? such that OTA can not be installed?

(ie. supersu is not Installed on /system, as u may know)

[2]I have not modified build.prop and UNINSTALL any system apps.

but i have renamed two files in /system/media/ui/ (so that to remove camera trigger sound).

but my guess is ,if i restored the names of the files then mount /system as read-only and then install OTA , will it not cause any Problem?

[3]How can I ,"For installing OTA through TWRP you will have to remove the checks..i.e get prop lines from updater script in the OTA package.", do this?(Teach me or point me to the right direction)

[4]Where can I get those? :"Don't worry.. there is a TWRP-ready package available - to install through TWRP"?

Since [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] discontinued this thread.

And [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] , It was very Helpful, I wish u could continue it.

[5]Can I get latest recovery OR recovery.img from OTA?

Answer to your Question "BUT SPECIFY ME THE REASON FOR TWRP INSTALLATION- ROM or ROOT" is ROOT , which is already answered in (1), but my 1st objective was to take backup of stock ROM and then ROOT,but my guess is that can not be done.

Sorry for the long post and simple silly Question (since I m new to this stuff).

Thank You.
[Lava Pixel V1] MSF Jarvis:
1. SuperSU by default is systemless, so just installing SuperSU won't break OTAs.

2. Renaming and remounting as RO won't fix OTAs. You'll need to use a customized OTA zip for this.

3. You can use my packages for this.

4. I have all the packages still saved on my system, I'll reupload all of them to Google Drive and have the thread reopened.

5. If you mean latest TWRP, then there will soon be an official app for that, but for now there's no option for a recovery OTA. If there are enough users needing it I may consider coming up with a solution.
[Lava Pixel V1] Suraj Pandey:
Yeah sure I will continue. It he doesn't
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Thanks [MENTION=7281258]Suraj Pandey[/MENTION] & [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] , :D

[1]My query is resolved.

[2]my guess i was not clear , what i meant was i renamed "xyz.ogg" to "xyz.ogg.BACKUP" in "/system/media/ui/", now assume i received October OTA update , since i want to install this OTA , i rename that .ogg file to "xyz.ogg" from "xyz.ogg.BACKUP".

Then mount the /system as read-only.

Assuming i edited the OTA with checks removed or got the edited OTA from you.

Reboot to TWRP and install edited OTA.

Now the Question is : Will the OTA install or Not or will it cause any problem?

[3]I meant was "I want to learn how to edit the OTA with checks removed" or point me in right direction.

[4] Thanks [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] for reopening the thread.

[5]I was not clear on this one, my fault. :fingers-crossed:

I meant update for stock recovery which come in OTA update.

And hence my corrected Question is : Can I get latest stock recovery OR recovery.img from latest OTA?

Thank you [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] & [MENTION=7281258]Suraj Pandey[/MENTION] :o

Edit 1: Please Do answer my [2]&[5] Question.

Edit 2:I just realized that I used "OTP" instead of "OTA" in some places. This is really embarrassing!! :o

So I edited "OTP" to "OTA".
[Lava Pixel V1] MSF Jarvis:
2. Yeah it should work out, audio files don't get frequent updates anyway

5. You automatically get updated if there's an update to the stock recovery, almost always there's no update tho.
[Lava Pixel V1] Suraj Pandey:
Answers:D

2. Yes. The OTA will be installed

5. No you cannot obtain recovery from the OTA package

[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Thank you Sir,

but just one more thing,(Sorry to trouble you or annoy you),

I really want to learn how to edit OTA Update and remove the checks.

since i do not have a sample OTA Update , I will wait for October OTA update and request you to teach me.

Thank You Once again [MENTION=7281258]Suraj Pandey[/MENTION].
[Lava Pixel V1] Suraj Pandey:
No Proficiency is required for that.

It's very easy

Just erase the getprop lines from Updater script

That's it
[Lava Pixel V1] MSF Jarvis:
Remove all get prop lines and apply_patch_check lines. Basically, there's a comment at the end of the checks, that says "start making changes here", you need to wipe all lines till there, excluding the line that mounts /system . You can remove OEM partition mounting since we aren't using it anymore. These modded updates will ONLY flash on TWRP, since ZIPs are signed with a signature that gets invalidated by any edits.
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Ok Sir , I will let you know when I get October OTA Update and test it.

Thank you. :good:
[Lava Pixel V1] Dark❶:
Ok Sir ,

I will test this when I get October OTA Update.

I will let you know when it is done.

Thank you. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyLite:
Hi, I am trying to revert my m8 to stock with no root, but I just formatted and wiped my phone, now the only thing I have is an s-on unlocked bootloader and twrp. All the roms I tried installing using TWRP keep saying that the updater binary failed or something. When I try to do RUU, it just doesn't work. Can anyone help me restore functionality to my phone? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Need to provide more info.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

What ROMs did you try?

What version TWRP?

What RUU? You need to relock the bootloader to RUU. But if its not the right RUU for your version (CID), it won't work and you'll be stuck unlocking the bootloader again. So don't relock the bootloader until you provide all the info requested.

I am just trying to get the os working for now because everything I tried flashing didnt work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You have the Verizon version.

Randomly looking online for ROMs is not a good idea. Stick to XDA, and in your case, stick to the Verizon Dev forums.

Also, what RUUs did you try (don't like asking the same question twice)? If it wasn't a Verizon RUU, you are

lucky

it didn't work, since any other RUUs can radio brick your phone. Again, flashing random things is not a good idea, especially with s-off and SuperCID, the results can be disastrous.

You have a couple things going on:

1) Your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) is woefully outdated. It won't work on any of the current ROMs.

2) Only ROMs meant for the Verizon version will work, due to kernel differences.

I'd advise run an Lollipop or Marshmallow Verizon RUU, which will get you to stock, and with updated firmware. I'll see if I can find the VZN RUUs.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyLite:
I tried just any RUU that I found that was for the HTC One M8 like things from android revolution, but they all just failed.

Also, I have S-ON right now because of a guide online telling me to do that, but it was wrong. Is there a way I could change it back to S-ON without os?

edit: i tried using the RUU exe on the link you put, but it didn't work and it says to get the correct firmware update utility. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Of course, any RUU not intended for the VZN version will fail, by design. You can't run an RUU for a different CID and MID. And I must stress

do not change the CID and/or MID

in an attempt to flash another version's RUU. As mentioned, if any other RUU actually flashed, it would probably radio brick your phone. VZN version (along with Sprint version) has different radio, partitions, and kernel from all other M8 versions. FOr this reason, RUUs are

not

interchangeable in your case (VZN version). You should not try to run any RUU except those specifically for the VZN M8.

The guide isn't wrong, if the intent is to return to

full

stock, for which s-on is the stock condition.

Usually, the only reason to do so (return to s-on) would be if you were trying to return the phone for warranty purposes; which I do not believe is the case for you.

I agree that for the purposes of what you wanted to do, s-on limits your options and was not a good idea.

But no, there is no way to return to s-off with no OS.

I don't know what you did wrong either, if you don't specify which file you tried.

If you tried the Marshmallow RUU, you may need to run the corresponding stock MM firmware before you can RUU. Try the LP RUU and see if that works.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyLite:
So I tried all the RUUs, exe and flashing with rebootRUU. Nothing worked. Would the only way to rename the file to 0P6BIMG.zip and having the phone detect it in my external sd? The exe keeps saying "The Firmware Update Utility cannot update your Android phone." and when I flash using adb or fastboot, it just fails.

edit: Actually I don't even know. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this kinda stuff. What do you suppose I do step by step? I still have access to bootloader and TWRP, but I just can't flash anything for some reason. Or the roms that I try always end up with an error.
