[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike12431:
So a few weeks ago I would restart the note and have it start up at the normal lock screen rather than the decrypt screen. I corrected it by changing the password requirement to none, restarting, and back to password. A few weeks later, it's no longer asking for the decrypt password again, and changing the password requirement isn't working this time. I've also noticed the encryption option under "other security settings" is missing. Does anyone know if there's something wrong here?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legat16:
I just noticed I have the same issue. For the last few weeks when I reset my phone it hasn't been prompting me to decrypt the phone, so I went looking for the settings, and there is nothing there. I searched for encryption in settings and it says no results found, I even checked developer settings. What is going on?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivan.d:

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Armageddon:
Has anyone figured out how to find the encryption settings? I just updated my TMobile Note 5 to 7.0 and I seem to have lost encryption. This is a huge problem as my work email policy requires it, and I can no longer sync emails or calendar appointments. ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowow123:
i found the device is encryped and the setting is in "lock screen and security" under "protect encrypted data" it says the device is encrypted etc...

The "protect encrypted data" doesn't show up under that menu for me. Going to wipe the phone and try again. That's all I have left at this point.

Hi. I was having the same problem (when restarting there was no encryption password required and no "protect encrypted data setting). I found what I needed under "secure startup." With this activates my phone now asks for the password before decrypting the data.

Hi !

I've just installed Remix OS Player but it's not exactly what i need.

I would like to uninstall but i don't know how to do.

I cant' do it from setup and i havent't found the file "UninstallRemixPlayer.exe"

Could you help me please ?

Thanks
[Remix OS Player] AmoraRei:
where did u put the file? its not installed into ur windows. just delete the file and zip file
[Remix OS Player] sonicdeathmunky:
I am having the same issue. There is no UninstallRemixOS.exe to allow me to uninstall in the recommended way.

I have tried to delete the RemixOSPlayer folder but receive the error "This action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program".

I have ended the only RemixOS relate process I can see in Task Manager and have restarted my PC but the issue remains.

I currently need the 10GB of space on my SSD, so this is quite frustrating. Please help :(
[Remix OS Player] AmoraRei:
did u manually install HAXM ? uninstall HAXM if its what is holding onto the file.
[Remix OS Player] AmoraRei:
is adb.exe in your task manager? if so, close it out and try to delete the folder then
[Remix OS Player] Vioner:
[MENTION=4601006]sonicdeathmunky[/MENTION] [MENTION=7751384]alibaba33[/MENTION] You probably need to close adb.exe process before deleting Player.
[Remix OS Player] sonicdeathmunky:
Thank you! I stopped the ADB.exe process and was right away able to delete the folder <3
[Remix OS Player] yltan:
I installed the Remix OS Player on a separate partition but now I want to uninstall it and same with fellow members here, I can't find the "UninstallRemixOS.exe". As I noticed that after I installed the Remix OS Player, it created another folder on my C:\Windows.old which takes up a same storage as C:\Windows which is roughly 16GB. How do I uninstall this and remove the C:\Windows.old safely. The last time I tried to delete the C:\Windows.old it gave me denied access on many files and eventually crashed my notebook till I have to reformat it.
[Remix OS Player] AmoraRei:
search for RemixOS in File Explorer and delete the file
[Remix OS Player] yltan:
I can delete the Remix OS Player as I installed on separate partition but I can't delete the C:\Windows.old. My problem is with the C:\Windows.old that Remix OS Player created when I install it.
[Remix OS Player] Vioner:
[MENTION=279778]yltan[/MENTION]

There is no way that Remix Player made a Windows.old folder on your device. This folder is made by Windows whenever you perform a bigger update of the system.

You can run system data cleanup (search it in control panel or in start menu) and most of it will be deleted safely.

Did your Windows 10 do its anniversary thing and update on you?

and u didn't install the player, it doesn't install, it runs on your pc but doesn't register into the system.
[Remix OS Player] yltan:
My mistake. Problem solved but thanks to all...
[Remix OS Player] haxxy:
Deleting the folder with remix os player is not the solution.

After deleting the folder, I reinstalled remix os player and noticed that all the settings that I made to it about the theme, location and so on, were still there

so it still leaves behind some crap in the registry or somewhere else.

How can I completely remove this crap?
[Remix OS Player] Adiesca:
just delete ur folder,restart ur pc and open the application there will be question "do u want delete this application?" u've just click "yes"

Stock recoveries includes version number of current kernel.

Differential ota updates checks current version on your rom. So if your real rom is 2.0.48 but recovery made for 2.1.120.

Device will get 2.0.28 to 2.1.140 update.

But in recovery, base version will not match and update procedure will fail.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] lucaam:
Why don't you try flashing the stock ROM from PC with QFIL instead of flash it via SDFuse? Just follow this guide.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] Swarai:
Why? Because no one can confirm that I will not brick my phone.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] lucaam:
If you aren't able to use SDFuse why don't try it. This method can unbrick your phone so I guess that it won't brick it!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] schupfer:
When you are using 1.9.104 ST that will be a custom rom pre-installed by your seller.

So you need to use the QFIL method - via sdfuse you will brick your phone.

You should backup your data because everything will be wiped.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] Swarai:
Are you saying QFIL will or will NOT brick the phone?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] zyvex_14:
NOT brick.

As Lucaam wrote, this is the only method to UN-BRICK your phone when you bricked it.

I used it and it works so no worry.

[General Questions and Answers] archie333:
Hi guys,

I'm desperately looking for new phone as my ZTE Blade S6 battery dies within half day after full charge. I bet, except of usage of the phone, the overheating Wi-Fi caused the most damage while I played PoGo. Battery swap is an option but lack of marshmallow update and custom roms force me to consider more popular brands now. I'm using UK giffgaff and I may go for Desire 530 or Xperia XA with 6 months deal as they seems to be decent phones for the low price. But I'm still thinking about bigger battery capacity like Galaxy J5/A5 (2016) or even removable one with some LG device to benefit little more in long run. 5-5.2 screen is what I want to go for, marshmallow update is essential. Also let me know if you've got a clue about bootloader status for this phones (or any other worth my attention in UK stores). The UK O2 Xperia phones I've dealt with got non-unlockable bootloader. Z1 Compact, M4, M5 and E5 - they're all locked. I worry XA from giffgaff may be the same and it's just pain in the bottom to walk-around.

I don't mind to spend about £250 for new device or get up to 12 months monthly contract if you know some good deal. But cheaper decent mobile will do as I'm using it for internet browsing, texting and calling only. And may play PoGo occasionally until Systemless Xposed will pass SaftyNet ;)

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:
Hi all,

I've followed various sets of instructions for installing a recovery onto my E6653. I was able to get recovery to boot successfully using the sony-recovery-z5.img found HERE, but it can't see, mount, format or wipe my ext SD card at all in this recovery so I can't initiate the install of a ROM from it.

I've tried stacks of other recoveries and boot images (kernels?), including:

[TWRP][E6653/E6603/E6633/E6683] 3.0.2 , all ROMs

[TWRP][E6653/E6603] 2.8.7.0 and Stock Rootable Kernel [2015-11-15]

[KERNEL][E6653/E6633/E6683] Zach's Kernel Playground for Z5, WIP (work in progress)

https://www.gizdev.com/sony-xperia-z5-e6653e6603-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery-root/

but none of these work - the phone will no longer boot after flashing boot.img (stuck at sony logo) and the recoveries will not launch - don't get the 'amber LED' which various guides tell me to press Vol Down at.

I'm using

fastboot boot recovery.img

to boot the phone into recovery and

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

to flash it, which hasn't worked at all. All of theTWRP versions I have found around the place do not work at all - it stays at the SONY white boot up screen. I have seen other kernels in .zip files and was extracting them to flash the boot.img file but looking now that seems incorrect - how do I flash the .zip file? Maybe that's unrelated but I seem to be missing something there

At the moment, the only way I can use my phone is if I flash the firmware in flashmode, using Flashtool.

My steps, from stock, were:

get unlock code from sony

enable USB debugging

turn on "Enable OEM Unlock"

issue "adb reboot bootloader"

issue oem unlock command

reboot phone and confirmed "Bootloader Unlocked: YES"

issue "adb reboot bootloader"

Then what should I do? What other steps do I need to take to get from stock onto a custom ROM such as this one? Please tell me step-by-step (like i'm 5) and assume you're talking me through it and I know nothing... because I am clearly missing some obvious step that nobody else here has struggled with.

Thanks heaps in advance for your help guys

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
I don't think your bootloader is unlocked because:

1: your device won't boot after flashing an image.

2: your rooting status says: bootloader unlock allowed.

(if unlocked, it says rooting status: bootloader unlocked)

Yes means it can be unlocked.

Unless you unlocked already and use drm fix because then it still shows yes but Im pretty sure your bootloader isn't unlocked.

Thanks heaps - that sounds like it might be the issue, I'll have a play and post back here. It would explain why I've had so much trouble with what seems like a simple task :)

EDIT:

It looks like this was done correctly.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:
OK, I got recovery installed! Thanks to this guy: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/help/boot-flashmode-fastboot-t3457818

mentions what no other guide mentions...

I need to have a custom kernel before I can flash recovery (first mention of this I've seen)

The kernel I flash needs to match the firmware I have installed

With that, I had instant success.

EDIT:

And now I have managed to get a custom ROM installed at last :) My procedure was, for anyone that be stuck in a similar way:

If your phone already won't boot:

Download Flashtool and install it. I have mirrored it here as all the sources I found were very slow: http://noobs.wtf/uploads/flashtool-0.9.22.3-windows.exe

Go to the 'drivers' folder inside your Flashtool install directory (default C:\Flashtool\drivers) and follow the instructions to install the "flashmode" driver

Select XperiFirm within Flashtool and download the correct firmware for your phone - mine was "Xperia Z5 > Sumire > E6653 > Australia > Telstra AU > 32.2.A.0.253 / R5C"

Turn off your phone and boot it in flashmode - Insert USB while holding vol down until the LED is green

Once Flashtool has finished downloading your firmware, go back to the main screen and click the 'lightning' button to flash your phone with the new firmware that should show up in the list - leave all the options unticked. Wait for it to say 'complete - un plug your phone'

Your phone should now boot successfully

To install a custom ROM:

I was not able to access my SD card in any version of TWRP - so copy your ROM to the internal storage of your phone. I used v1.5.0 of THIS ROM successfully.

Copy v36 (or newer) of THIS KERNEL .zip file to your internal storage as well. (v32 and higher are in the google docs link) NOTE this must match the firmware version - v36 was the one I used because, as above, I re-flashed my phone with 32.2.A.0.253 from Flashtool. The appropriate versions are listed on that link

[*]Also download TWP-3.0.2-2-E6653.img (or newer equivalent) from that same link.

[*]Follow the instructions HERE to unlock your bootloader (and make sure your fastboot drivers are installed correctly)

[*]Reboot your phone and re-enter fastboot mode (vol-up while plugging in USB) you can issue the command 'fastboot oem unlock' and it will return 'already rooted' if it has been done correctly

[*]Now with your phone in fastboot mode, issue the commands "fastboot flash recovery TWP-3.0.2-2-E6653.img" then "fastboot boot TWP-3.0.2-2-E6653.img" to install and then boot into TWRP recovery

[*]Once in TWRP, go to "Install" and install first the Kernel, then install the ROM, making sure to do the wipes

For me, this completed the process of installing a custom ROM :) I was stuck on the lack of info around installing the kernal and whatnot.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
But the info was right here on the forum's, wasn't it?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:
not in any of the guides that outline how to go from "stock" to one of the custom ROMs, no.

Hi,

Im new to this forum,

I recently went india for a holiday, from the UK, and my zuk z1 was fine, however a few days in, my phone would randomly reboot and go to the "android is upgrading, app "x" of "x"" for about 10 mins, just a random reboot.

on the day of the failure, my phone rebooted when i tried to receive a Bluetooth file, and as soon as i pressed accept it rebooted, and went to the android is upgrading page. as soon as the app number neared the total number of apps it restarted, and kept doing the same till the battery died. i charged it and turned it on, and it got stuck on the Zuk boot logo, thats it, nothing further. i was then left phoneless for the rest of the trip.

any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi.

If you have unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp.. Try this.

Go to twrp by pressing vol up + vol down and pressing power button.

You will open in twrp.

(a) restore if you have any backup.

(b) flash rom and gapps from internal storage if you have any copy of them.

(c) Push rom and gapps by usb pendrive or adb sideload.

Flash rom and gapps.

*if you are flashing rom and gapps,better wipe data>advanced wipe> everything except internal and usb otg.

* tour pics and videos from the trip are in internal storage.. Don't wipe it.. Repeat don't wipe it or you will lose them.

If you don't have twrp..

Sorry, but I am not knowledgeable enough to answer this.

Hope this helps.

Hi folks,

I'm new to the forum, so I hope this is the right place to ask?

I've just installed AndroidX86 on an Intel NUC to use as a console display. However, I want to turn it off over night so that power isn't wasted (and so it doesn't light everything up!).

I tried using scripts like Tasker and Automate to turn off the screen at 11PM and wake it up at 8AM, however it appears that the whole machine goes to sleep and can't wake itself up. As a compromise, I thought I could try to disable the screen only - but I can't find a way to do this. Every method I try will put the Intel NUC to sleep too.

Is there a console command I can use that will enable / disable the display output? If I can prevent anything going via HDMI to the monitor, that will automatically put the monitor in standby (until a signal is received again).

Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome.
