[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altum:
Note: Moved thread

Hey guys,

Sorry to be one of those d**ks who registers and first post is asking for help >_<

Take a seat and join me on this epic quest of failure, which has been my life for the last 12 hours.

Had this phone since release, over the years it has got more and more bogged-down with crap, even from the word go it had tonnes of bloatware installed, but I always avoided the temptation to root, just because I didn't want the hassle if something went wrong... lol.

Yesterday decided to finally take the plunge and root it, whatstheworstthatcouldhappen.jpeg

Here's how it went down....

1. Kingoroot via PC (first tried the apk but it wouldn't work).

2. Hated all the additional stuff that had been added to the phone (new wakeup screen with ads etc)

3. Used a guide to remove and replace kingoroot (kinguser, kingroot, kingmaster) with superuser. zidroid dot com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/ <<Here's the guide

4. Stuck on "Installing, please wait" (just after step 8 in the guide)... as the guide explains, if this happens then reboot. So I did...

5. Phone now won't get past the samsung logo (I die a little inside).

6. Google crap for a few hours (Boot into recovery mode etc) I clear cache, remove data.

7. Try loading a stock rom I downloaded and opening it from the sd card... no joy

8. Try Kies... no joy

9. Try Odin... no joy

10. During all of this frantic messing around I loose the option of booting into recovery mode, now I can only get to download mode.

11. Basically spent about 6 hours last night and a few hours this morning trying to get this fixed from all info I could find online... STILL NO JOY.

So now I'm biting the bullet and having to own up to the public, that's you guys.

Anyone here got a clue as to what may have gone wrong/what I can do to resolve this?

Not even fussed about keeping the phone stock, just need it running something!

As I'm sure you can tell I'm new to messing around with android, but I'm not entirely tech-naive so hopefully with some help I might be able to get this back to more than just a paperweight?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Your mistake was using Kingroot.

Use CF-Auto-Root next time.

And what does "Try Odin... No joy" mean?

Did it fail or did it successfully flash and still didn't boot?

The procedure to flash with Odin is something like:

Download a stock ROM (should have the .tar extension)

Get a good USB cable (preferably the original one) and connect it to a back USB port (any other ports can cause problems) and to the phone.

If flashing fails, try a gain.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootNoot:
You could have avoided this had you just downloaded the correct cf-auto root file and flashed it via Odin..

Hi I am new to the forums and I have a problem. I was installing twrp recovery on my Che2-12 and after I rebooted my phone I was stuck on the logo. So I booted into my phone again and I flashed cyanogenmod 13 directly through flashify and after I rebooted my device I am stuck on the honor logo again. There is not animation or anything and I can't even boot into recovery so solutions online don't work. HELLPPPP!! PLLSSS

I have the kirin model not snapdragon.

Did you unlock your bootloader and which TWRP version you were using?
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] muradulislam:
Press and hold power + vol down to boot into bootloader, also check whether on boot screen, is it written phone locked or unlocked. I am sure its unlocked as you were flashing stuff to your phone.

Download latest firmware for your phone. Use Huawei update extractor to extract system, boot, recovery and Cust images. Flash them to your phone using

Fastboot flash xxxxx xxxxx.img

Put UPDATE.APP (u will get it from firmware) in dload folder in SD card. Turn off your phone. Hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots. Let go of the power but keep other two pressed for some more time.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GerasxD:
when you update to 3.1.0 twrp recovery is not compactible with the new recovery partition so you need to flash opxstock 3.1.0 recovery so that you will be able to flash android lollipop version of the opx and reroot and install twrp.

the proccess is really simple

1)go to settings about phone and enable developer options by tapping build number 10 times.

2)enable adb and oem unlocking

3)go to the folder you have adb and fastboot installed

4)Place the downloaded recovery file there(the one FROM THIS THREAD!)

5)type 'adb reboot bootloader'

Phone will reboot to bootloader

6)type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'(or the name you gave for the recovery with '.img' at the end)

7)type 'fastboot boot recovery.img'

8)flash update.zip (the 2.1.1 version)If you cannot find the link to the file comment bellow

9)flash the update.zip via stock recovery.

10)your phone is back to stock now and you are able to flash twrp recovery and root your phone now.

Please hit thanks if i helped

EDIT:Unzip the recovery file fist

adb doesn't recognize my phone anymore, now that I want to try it again with the file from this forum. And it seems to be stuck in fastboot mode.

What should I do?

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Okay I found it. :D

Type in adb 'fastboot devices'

it wil recognise your phone

Then 'fastboot reboot'

And my phone works again, and I guess I can just restart the proces now :)

(replied to myself in case someone else has this problem )

Hi, It's not working for me.

I still get the same error message: `FAILED (remote: dtb not found)` when I try to boot into recovery.

I would really appreciate some help here :)

Thanks anyway. I'll keep searching.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

Ok, I solved my problem. I had to revert to an older TWRP. I just didn't know that the new updated TWRP is not backward compatible (that's bad) and I couldn't find an older one until I stumbled upon this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69170103&postcount=45

Official one okay?

Is it also ok, to take the official twrp 3.1.1-1-onyx from the twrp website? :confused:

Thanks
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kéno40:
Not at all. The point is to flash an old offcieal recovery, then OOS 3 to update bootloader.

If you already are on the new bootloader no need to do that.

if you're not, BLupdater.

If already try to flash something not compatible, you may haave to run the Mega unbrick Guide.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabfromfrance:
Same isse with E1001

I had the same issue "remote: dtb not found" when trying to use recent (3+) versions of TWRP on my E1001 One Plus X. I ended up discovering that only an old version of TWRP (2.8.7) would boot on the device. Here is the version I used successfully on One Plus X E1001 (white): twrp-2.8.7.0-6.0-onyx.img. I cannot post a link to it as the forum is preventing new users to publish external links but I have it if needed.

No real life review thread on this one yet, so let's get the ball rolling on this. Any Telstra customers with their device have anything to say on this?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] FoleyRose:
I haven't felt the need to charge mine yet. Because I don't have one.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Skazki:
And no one still share his battery life...

Can you share with us guys? Like guys with Pixel XL did :)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Melecatius:
So, i'm gonna give it a go.

I am really satisfied with the battery life after three days of being a daily driver.

After my day of work it has 31% left with google assistant/now, 70% WiFi 30% LTE, Bluetooth always on, auto adjust brightness 3.56 hours display time, most of the time i used chrome.

No pics because i don't know to add them via mobile browser.

For now: much better than my old nex5 and OnePlusX.

I like! ;)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I just got mine today and fully charged it and then synced my n5x, rebooted and it was down to 90%. Highly intensive processing so I'll not judge by that. Did some more setup, charged again. Phone call for about 30 min, down to 95%. Not bad but not great. It's way too early for me to make a determination as some here have been running it for 3 days with better results.

I'll either update this post or make a new one depending on traffic. Overnight will tell me a lot. I've been getting about 0.5% - 0.8% / hour drain overnight on my 5x so let's see how this one does. One thing I will say is that the phone is beautiful, great size, great feel. great display and quick as a bug. If the battery holds up it's a definite keeper for sure. If any of you have an iPhone 6 or 6s, put them side by side and I dare you to tell them apart. lol.

There is another thread on this but my battery is abysmsl
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] tluley51:
Google Play services battery drain. No unusual apps, pretty much out of the box because its getting replaced already due to screen issues. Not sure why...
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Dwayne01:
I have really high android OS usage, but still get great battery life. 4 hours SOT, 16 hours usage. Will be interesting to see what i can get when I find the cause of this Android OS drain
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Phone calls kill me but otherwise not looking too bad.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
The phone lasts me the entire day, but by the end of the day its pretty close to dying out.

So not as good as my S7 Edge, or even close, however it's good enough.

I charge my phone every night, anyways, so doesn't really bother me. :)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Moogagot:
I was less than impressed to be honest. I'll know more when I actually spend a few days with it out and in use.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] amcolash:
I must not use my phone all that much. So far, extremely better battery than my iPhone 5s. I guess it is a doubling in mAh but also a bigger screen. I am happy with it so far.

Definitely doesn't charge to 70% in 15 minutes though like they bragged about.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshm.1219:
Well they said "7 hours of use" from 15 minutes of charging, whatever the hell that means lol.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] dpw2atox:
Coming from a Galaxy S6 Edge I am very happy with my battery life. Currently I'm at 1 day 5 hrs with 2 hrs 5 min phone calls and 1 hr 47 min of screentime with about an hour of music in there....right now I have 28% left. I typically use my phone for browsing the web, chatting, work email and facebook so all in all I'm very pleased.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
They never said that. They said 7 hours of use in 15 minutes.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] largeselection:
I'm actually pretty happy with it so far. I have the regular Pixel and in my few full days of normal usage I'm getting through the day pretty easily. 8AM - 11PM or so leaves me with about 10% left on the phone, and usually approx 4.5 hours of screen on time. This is especially impressive to me since this is with GPS ON, Bluetooth ON, mostly on LTE with only "ok" reception in my office, auto-brightness set half way, everything syncing, connected to my gear fit 2. That's definitely better than I got on the 5x and way better than I was getting on my last phone - the galaxy s7. I was getting maybe at most 3.5 hours screen on time with the S7, and that was with GPS OFF, brightness set to around 30% or as low as I could set it and still see clearly, and even with a ROM that included battery optimizations (and yes it did seem to provide slightly more battery than stock).

So this is great thus far. If I were going out late or something after work then I would probably top it up, but otherwise this is the first time in awhile I haven't felt the compulsion to constantly plug in my phone when I get a chance for fear it will die on me. I also hope that this will only improve as development picks up and people release optimized ROMs/Kernels.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Can someone with good battery life compare this to what they get?

13 hours

at 64%

Android System 176mah

Android OS 156mah

Screen 1hr 15m (151mah)

Voice Calls 15m (88mah)

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Pffzz:
Overall I'm really satisfied with the battery. after a night and day of heavy use, games, browsing, installing apps I'm still at 20%. Hardly any power drained in standby.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] MountainDwarf:
Decent

Battery has been pretty good for me so far. Seems to be settling in with optimization after a few days. Dropped 0% overnight last night which is awesome.

GSAM Monitor is saying my average is 19 hrs on, 4.5 hours of screen on time usage, 1-2 hours of screen off usage like phone calls, music.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
That was other guy's post. The graph may feel misleading. It isn't as straightforward to understand for sure.

What I would offer to ponder is that if Battery Stats were measured over multiple partial discharge and partial charge cycles (and avoiding percents swinging from 0 -> 100 -> 0)... What you'd get is overall, empirically, less charging time used per larger phone lifetime discharge.

That's why Google boasted 15-20 min rapid charging time for a perhaps slightly exaggerated average 7 hrs use time.

The manufacturers prefer to sell batteries or replacement devices to profit, or they'd probably spend money saving you money by letting people know or incorporating more system dialogs with info....
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
The screenshot here shows stats for more than 45 hours of use on less than 3.5 hours of charging (some of that time is sitting at 100% but not much.)

This is more comprehensive than time to 100% discharge and an SoT time. Starts to average use over more than one day, meaning changing patterns and overall performance is more reflective of ongoing use of device.

The app is ElementalX Kernel Manager's battery monitor.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Have things improved any? I got my second Pixel on Black Friday and, as stated, did not copy over my programs from my 5x. At first battery life was ok, then I installed all my crazy apps like the battery hog Google Fit and Android Wear. Battery life was still ok, not super but not bad. Then over the last couple of days it started to improve. I have BBS installed but I just don't think it gives me the info I am really looking for. Google Fit alarms all over the place but doesn't show up on battery stats in settings. I don't think I got this good a battery life when I copied my programs over, but that was about a month ago.

Nonetheless, it is looking much better. I don't have to plug in at all during the day and by the end with phone calls and about 3 hours or so SOT (not that I hold much value in that) I end up with about 50% left after 13 or so hours. Right now 82 % after I unplugged at full charge about 7 hours ago. Overnight off the charger I lose about 0.7 - 0.9% / hour which I think should be 0.4% but still no complaints.

I hope your battery is doing better. If not, have you tried a full reset with manual install of pertinent apps?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jay661972:
Excellent battery life
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
My phone is set up exactly like my MXP was. I averaged about 1.5 hours SOT and charged twice throughout the day and again at night. This phone is MUCH better!

I should have taken another screenshot later. I ended up with 4 hours SOT before I plugged in. I would only be happier if it had a removable battery so I could carry a spare. I could likely make it all day on a charge but I still give it some juice throughout the day just in case.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Yeah, those days are gone. I think fast charging has replaced that since by the time you shut down, open the case, replace the battery, start it up again.. you can get at least another 15% battery which should get you thru the day. It's really amazing how quickly the phone charges with the screen off.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
I agree but I still like the removable battery and sd card. I was stressing that 128gb wasn't going to be enough memory (was used to 128 + 64) but I bit the bullet and got this phone. I'd never used Google Photos for backups. I finally allowed it backup and remove all of my photos and now I've only used 42gb. Not too shabby. Just sucks that if I screw up a flash or need to fastboot an image I'll end up losing all my music.

I've got 10 micro to USB C adapters on order so I can convert all of my current Turbo chargers to work with this phone and still use them for other devices. I'm slowly accepting the inevitable.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Don't get me wrong. I always bought a replacement battery and external sdcard previously. I'm not sure the reason for eliminating both, but I'm sure someone can chime in with some thoughts. But why would you lose anything if you need to fastboot a stock image? Just get yourself an OTG stick or copy it to your computer. Sure, you might lose a few un-backed up tracks but not the whole shebang. I don't have that worry for now since I can't fastboot anything being on the VZW device and determined to remain bl locked. ;)
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
Normally fastbooting an image wipes /sdcard (or at least I believe it does). It takes a long time to back up 42gb and then transfer it all back to the phone. It's just easier to remove the sd card and be done. Plus if you're soft bricked (which I'm sure this phone will be at some point) and you can't boot the OS then you can't back up anything anyway.

Why the locked bootloader? I used DePixel8 for my VZW model.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
That's a lot of music to backup, I agree. I'm keeping the bootloader locked because I use AP and a banking app almost on a daily basis and just don't want that closed up, which I'm sure it will be again. I did look into DePixel8 and toyed with the idea but decided to give it a shot without unlocking, rooting or flashing. I still have my 5x that I can play with since I got a data only sim for it on Fi. I'm still on the fence but leaning towards keeping this device "secure" as they say.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
To each his own. Honestly, I would probably have a V20 if I could root/rom it. I do love this phone but it's not my first choice. It's just what I can modify and use on Verizon... And the Black Friday deals helped a lot. [emoji1]
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I would not have this phone if the Black Friday deal did not materialize. I've just been rooting and modding phones for as long as I can remember and just needed a break. I got hooked when I rooted my Eris and OC'd it to 750 Mhz from 500. There were times when I flashed 6 test roms in one day. But I have noticed that after 5 days the battery life is getting much better. I think the apps are settling down, if there is such a thing, and the memory is being utilized more efficiently. Either that or I'm not messing with it as much.

I do have a question, although probably OT here. When you unlocked with DP8 they say you can image the Google V image and get rid of the Vzw X. Does that make it a Google phone at that point or is it still locked to vzw? I mean if you relock the bl at that point are you back to having DP8 it again to unlock?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
I don't really have the answers to those questions. I know that you can flash a Google rom but I'm not sure if it'll receive Google updates, etc. In theory it would. It's heavily advised not to relock once you unlock the bootloader.

Not sure I understand your question about the phone still being locked to Verizon. All Verizon phones have been sim unlocked for the past several years. They have an FCC agreement that requires them to be sim unlocked. Just pop in another sim and it should activate without issues.

My first Android was an Eris too. I still remember partitioning my sd card 6+ times so I could dual boot it and run A2SD.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Lol, I believe my rom was XTR. Ok, I wasn't really clear on that question. I might have to ask in another thread, but the gist of it is..

I know you can flash a Google system image with an unlocked DP8 vzw phone which at this point is NDE63V, Nov 2016. Now I'm assuming the system image also has the Google bootloader. Since the same build vzw image is Verizon, NDE63X, Nov 2016 with the vzw bootloader, does that mean if you have the V image flashed you now have basically a Google Pixel vs a VZW one? Or is the IMEI what makes it a vzw phone? (If you can figure out what I mean.. good for you)

I do know it is sim unlocked. I actually never activated it on vzw but on Google Fi. I'm not sure anyone knows at this time what will happen with the December update if you have the X image but not activated on Verizon. If we do not get the update then I most certainly will unlock the bl on X and flash the Google image V. If I knew that I could relock the bl after unlocking it I would probably do that sooner rather than later and just go with the V image. But I think all this will shake out on the 6th.

Edit: This might be the answer I was looking for, although I don't think it's confirmed yet. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69840411&postcount=4
