Try phone info

This happened to me before too, the way I got around it was using the phone info app from the play store, it can run the secret codes and check on other info on your phone. I also got around to reflashing firmware later which allowed me to just type in dialer again.

hi

i used SP flash new and old version to flash stock rom for lenovo a680.

but after "successful" flashing, the old rom and apps are still intact, ie there has been no change.

could the problem be port conflict?

will post some images when i have enough posts

thanks

What will I need to use to use my Windows 10 Laptop with a USB GPS Dongle as a Navigation System for Waze or Google Maps? I don't want to SIMULATE my GPS, I need my real GPS coordinates to be replicated into my Android Apps in constant real tme.

Are there any Android Emulators out there that can use my REAL CURRENT GPS location from my USB GPS Dongle on my Windows 10 Laptop? If not, would I be able to obtain this by installing Virtual Box and Android in a Virtual Box?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Banzaai:
I tried to search on Wiki and the forum. But negative hits.

Currently i have a english HTC tytn, and it has to change to a Dutch rom.

I searched for a simple language pack (like windows xp :) ). But i couldn't found 1.

So i searched on Wiki. I found some close hits but without the correct sollutions.

After searching for a while i found the WM 5 dutch Rom for a Hermes. ME_DT_NLD_1182542_104_10303_Ship.exe

I thought okey this must be easy. Just use unpack and run the Shipped Rom.

The Wrapper gave me the following error on installation. Error 260 device not found. Ok that isn't a problem i will use the Olipro wrappers from the bootload or sspl.

SSPL didin't work and the bootload trick worked. Actually after the 100% installation it gave the error, and the device was resetting. The device started windows. an it was actually a dutch version. Before i jumped up and down of excitment i wanted to be sure it installed the customize. When it started to install the customize it actually frozen at the today content. After waiting for an half our. I decided to give the device a hard reset. The screen after the hard reset turned white. So there was somethin wrong.

Next step was to take the .NBH file from the zipped package and unpack it in a folder to add the correct customization. It didn't help at all.

At this moment i am out of ideas. Because why wasn't the original rom installing as it suppose to be. Is this a common problem. or did i lost my mind and didn't follow the right steps.

Please let me know.

I actually used to reset the rom to its orriginal backup rom. but i get a vendor id error.!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Banzaai:
Fixed the problem;

I used Hard-spl-v7, after unpacking the shipped rom with NBH tool. Then removed the IPL / SPL folders from the new map and inserted the RUU-wrapper from the Hard-spl-v7 zip file.

Still have a wrecked rom on a other tytn. K.I.A. i quess. If its solved i let you know.
[Verizon LG G3] JP05:
Please forgive me, I am a complete Noob. I have an LG G3 VS985 48A. My baby factory reset my phone because of that stupid security feature they have that resets after entering the password too many times, which I had no clue was on there or that it could be deactivated. I really want to try to get the photos and videos back, but the software I've seen wants to have root first.

I have been reading forums, articles, and anything I can but can't seem to find what I am looking for and am confused by all the acronyms etc. I read that if I have a "k" version then its basically impossible to root my phone. Where is this 'k' found? Is it the build number?? Please let me know.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Look at the model number in your battery compartment of your phone. You'll need to take off the back cover and remove the battery. If you see a K at the end of the model number (VS985WK for the white model), you have a newer version of the phone that won't allow downgrading from Marshmallow. Therefore, the only way to root is via Kingroot.

If there is no K at the end of the VS985 (such as VS985 or VS985W), then you're good to go to downgrade via TOT to 10B and root, TWRP and flash to your heart's content.
[Verizon LG G3] JP05:

Please could someone who have the Firehd-8 (5th Gen), and that has now purchased the new FireHD-8 (6th Gen. 2016), could tell us whether it is true or not, that due to the fact that this tablet now brings more memory and also a new processor, the New FireHD-8 (6th) works better and with less lagging?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vystrel:
Just got my 2016 Fire HD 8 and it is very smooth. Better than my Fire 7 but I have never tried the 2015 HD 8. I have read that the new CPU is supposed to be better even though it's 1.3ghz now. Wish they would have went with 2gb of ram but I guess it's cost saving and so next year they can use "50% more RAM" again. It's a nice tablet for $90.

I really hope a good CM rom or stock android rom will come because I really enjoyed CM12 on my Fire 7, it made the tablet so much better than fire os.

All I know so far is Google play store will still install on the 2016 model just as easy as before.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulises.rodriguez:
Vystrel, I have a 5th generation FireHD-8, and last month after comparing it with a Fire7, I immediately realized that the FireHD8 surprisingly worked much slower and also much more lagging ...

So, I hope that now the new Amazon FireHD- 8 (6th Gen), finally work much smoother and faster!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vystrel:
Yea the Fire 7 is a solid performing tablet, especially with CM12. I have been using my 2016 HD 8 all day today and I feel if it was running stock android or even just another launcher it would be a perfect device for $90. Screen is great, performance is great, but the speakers sound very tinny and I'm not sure if my device is defective. It gets louder than my Fire 7 but I think they sound pretty cheap, some reviews on Amazon's page say they are a downgrade from 5th gen HD 8.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulises.rodriguez:
Some users that received their New FireHD-8 6 Gen., have complained at Amazon that the sound is not as good and that volume is lower, than in the firehd-8 5th gen 2015, is this true?"
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vallywog:
I have the new HD 8 and the sound on mine is really nice. I did not have the previous versions of the 8 or 10 so cannot compare but have a fire 7 and its leaps and bounds better then that. The issue I did have was a couple of bad areas of light bleed at the top and bottom of the screen. But amazon replaced it no problem and the new one does not have the light bleed issue. Over all for the price its a great tablet. Just need a root for it now....

My phone always remains connected to lte 3 band because it has slightly good network strength, but i want to connect to lte band 40 because it has very high data speed. in my office it connects to band 40 but at my home it remains connected to band 3, i get 100kbps (band 3)speed instead of 5-7mbps (band 40).

So how can i make to connect my phone to band 40 and not band 3.

Not possible as a phone will always connect to a strongest signal available within your area....in your case (at home) band 40 is not the strongest so it will connect to band 3 instead while in office its the other way around...

***A bit of a warning to SDHC card users***

I've got my 6 Gb San Disk SDHC card (£35!) working a treat in Mescle's 3.01 lite rom but today I had a bit of a high blood pressure moment...

I was trying to reflash the rom and my device would not go into boot loader - just kept coming up with a white screen, didn't matter if it was boot loader from a ruu or manual via the buttons. I have now sussed this and my BP is back to normal. When you enter boot loader it looks for the SD card and obv. in boot loader mode it doesn't like the SDHC card type so just hangs! Remove the card and you can get into boot loader straight away.

So here's the tip - if you want to flash your device remove the SDHC card first.

Cheers

Alex
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Registerme:
Thanx for the info, it has been noticed before. It's in the 6GB SDHC Thread. I had the same problem and realised it was the sdhc card. Usually it's recommended to flash roms without sd-card inserted.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] zandadoum:
dont most (if not ALL) rom cookers specifically say in their posts that in order to cook their rom, any SDHC card has to be removed first? i am sure i've read the warning in at least two of those posts.
[Android General] atk9010:
I am new to this site and read the posting rules nonetheless, information here is quite overwhelming. I hope that this is the appropriate location for this posting.

I have searched this site and other sites and have not found instructions (perhaps easier ones) on this topic, so I wanted post some basic ones here. Hope it helps.

(To my dismay, I couldn't figure out how to upload images and zip files from computer)

First you will need to install the Android/Windows SDK files

Install and unpack the android-sdk_r24.4.4.1-windows.zip (developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads) to your "C:"

I renamed my file by removing the "-windows" to make it easier for the PATH/Variables

After extraction, goto C:\Android-Sdk\SDK Manager.exe

Right click on the SDK Manager, Run as Administrator

Select all files under TOOLS

Check: Updates/New and Installed

Click Install Packages

Accept License

After done reboot

repeat steps, open SDK Manager

this time under TOOLS, uncheck installed Android SDK and check not installed and new version available

Click install packages

Accept License

After done reboot

Now Installing PATH to Windows 10

Click "Windows + E" (or Go to "this PC" folder)

On top, click on "System properties"

On the left, click on "Advanced System Settings"

Click on "Environment Variables"

Under System variables, click on "Path" and click "edit"

Click "New"

Type "C:\android-sdk\tools"

Click OK

Again under System Variables, click on "Path" and click "edit"

Click "New"

Type "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools

Click OK to all the rest

Press windows and type "CMD" and right click on it and select run as administrator

Type ADB

If installed correctly you will see all of the ADB command lines printed on your screen.

Your computer is ready to Communicate with your Android phone.

You will see the corresponding commands for backup and restore.
[Android General] atk9010:
Backup and Restore Using ADB

ADB Backup

Make sure that your "USB dubbuging option" is on

Connect your phone phone/tablet using USB connection

Open your folder where you want you want to download your backup(s)

for example C:\My Phone Backup

Click the "File" option on top

Select the "Open command prompt as administrator"

Type "ADB Devices"

If an MTP message pops on your phone, click "OK"

Type adb backup -all -apk -f -backup.ab

Check your phone, it will give you to backup with or without the backup

Click either one

Once completed, you should have a quite a large backup.ab file in your destination folder

ADB Restore

Follow all of the steps above

Type adb restore backup.ab

--------------------------------------

For System Backup / Restore

Follow the above steps

Type adb backup -all -system -f -backup.ab

(make sure that the location of the system backup is different then the location of the apk backup)

As I mentioned before, If you Type ADB in CMD (Command Prompt in DOS) it will print the ADB shell command line.
[Android General] mj56gt:
I used to use TitaniumBackup to transfer apps and data from one Android phone to another when both devices are rooted. Recently I got a phone which currently does not have root access, so TitaniumBackup would not be useful. Most apps are not an issue, but I have trouble transferring a few apps and their data.

I was thinking to use adb to backup each app+data separately, and tried using the following command on the old (and rooted) phone:

adb backup -f <appname>.ab -apk <app_package_name>

but I got the following message:

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

The strange thing is that there is nothing there for me to accept when I unlock the phone or when I keep the phone unlocked.

Also when backing up all apps via "adb backup -apk -shared -all -f all.ab", I still get the same message: Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation. And this happens on two computers I have tried so far. Very weird.

I just tried another phone, and had no problem with the adb backup command (I did see the confirmation request on the phone). So the problem seems to be with this particular phone (LG G2 with root).

Any suggestions as to how to handle the transfer? Any better alternatives?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anulluna:
Hi,

First of all, thank you in advance for whatever help you can give me.

1) PHONE

- Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon refurbished, model SM-G920V)

- Android 6.0.1

- Security patch level: April 2, 2016

- Kernel: 3.10.61

- Knox: 2.6

- Not rooted

I don't know whether any other detail is necessary. Let me know otherwise.

2) PROBLEM

This has been happening for a couple of days now, and I have tried everything I've found online, to no avail.

The phone is displaying completely erratic battery stats. It goes from, say, 50% to 100% in under a minute. You turn it off and plug the charger, it shows, say, 85%. You turn it on again and shows 15%. Completely erratic.

At other times, the charging gets stuck in 79-80%, and the graph plateaus there, doesn't matter if you're charging all day.

3) WHAT I'VE TRIED

I've already tried with cache memory deleting and hard reset. Forgot to mention I'm also running Greenify agressive mode (I did the dba USB thing), but I doubt that's the culprit.

The phone is barely a month old. I know it's refurbished, but I was told it was something like "class A" refurbished (not second hand). It was working perfectly fine until a couple of days ago. By the way, whatever charge I do get in the battery (79%, 80%) works perfectly (it's not that it is abnormaly drained or anything, which I suppose would happen if the battery was old or defective). I'm not an Android expert, but I reckon this is more a software problem. Maybe I should root the device?

Is there any way to attach pictures? They may be of help.

Thanks a million!
