[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXaidyiu:
Well if so, let's just start from scratch, because you seems to have screwed quite badly and complicated.

Firstly, flash .291 firmware with the three boxes under "Wipes:" ALL CHECKED, check also "AUTO_BOOT" on the right column. These steps will return your device into factory state.

After the flashing process has finished, if your device turned on automatically, turn it off, then unplug the device and replug it when pressing vol+ key, this will enter fastboot mode, you can have two ways to follow now:

(1) Select "Flash", "Fastboot Mode", "Select kernel to flash", navigate to the directory that contain the kernel downloaded (I personally recommand Elite Kernel and extracted), then flash the .IMG file;

(2) Open a cmd using shift+R mouse on the blank space in the directory that stores your twrp.IMG (you can download it here), and type in:

fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img

and press Enter.

In both method, after you have pressed Enter and see there are two "Okay" printed in the CLI, unplug your device and boot it.

During boot, you will see yellow or green LED light blinked, press vol+ button once and hurray, you will be booted into TWRP recovery!

Now you can load your zip onto your SD card and start flashing! Happy flashing!

P's1 When you tried to boot up your device with the vol- button pressed together, you will be booted into SAFE_MODE, in this mode all 3rd party applications will be disabled.

P's2 I personally DO NOT recommend you to flash zip or erase anything using fastboot commands, use TWRP instead;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epeace:
Thank you iXaidyiu. Option 1, although it fails to boot normally, was successful in getting me back into recovery! Now that I'm in recovery, I first tried to restore my back up. But this failed with errors:

Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid Argument)

So then I tried to flash PA again (since that was the only rom I had on my sd card right now) which also failed with the same errors plus new ones:

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Download/pa_sirius-6.0.3-20160809-signed.zip'

It also said that "This package is for "sirius" devices; this is a "".". Apparently my Z2 is no longer identifying as 'sirius'. I checked the file system, and I can see that the /data, /cache, and /system folders are physically there. Why are they not mounting? Permissions? :s What to do from here?

UPDATE: This "Failed to mount /data error" seemed to be the root of all the problems till now. Others on the net with this error also see boot hanging at the mfr logo. However, I was able to solve it by formatting /data. I still couldn't flash PA due to the 'This package is for "sirius" devices' error, but I was able to restore my TWRP backup, which then solved the "sirius" ID issue, after which I could flash PA just fine! Thanks iXaidyiu for your help in getting me back into recovery! That was clutch to me finding the solution!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXaidyiu:
[MENTION=7826004]epeace[/MENTION]

If you ever face the device id issue again, unzip the ROM, navigate down /META-INF/com/Google/Android/updater-script and delete the following line:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "sirius" ||
abort("E3004: This package is for \"sirius\" devices; this is a \"" +
getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

(probably the first of the code till a semi-colon)

This disable the Device ID check when you flash the ROM.

P's May I know how's your phone charging status? I am curious cuz' I once tried flashing PA 6.0.3 and all working good EXCEPT the battery cannot be charged. It keeps draining itself even though it can sense the presence of the charger but it still cannot charge:crying:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epeace:
Ok great tip, I'll make that edit for next time. Re: the charging, I think it's charging, but it's definitely charging very slow. But a number of things could be contributing to that, I'm constantly on it right now (setting it up), i'm charging off of my computer (usually slow to begin with), and this phone is a few years old so the battery is not what it used to be. I'll keep an eye on it the next days, and report back here and let you know what I've observed. Thanks again for your help!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epeace:
Hey [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION],

I no longer have PA installed, but in the couple days with it I didn't notice any difference in battery performance compared to other ROMs. I think that shouldn't be a deterrent. At the moment I'm trying out GarvityBox on rcstar6696's vanilla MM/Nougat. So far it feels right, although rooting was a little tricky for some reason. We'll see how that goes!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elreaver:
Hello,

Can't figure out why this isn't working, just looking for help.

My Nexus 6 is using cm-14.0-20161008 ROM, and has known issue with Adaway. When I run Terminal Emulator and execute "su -" the phone automatically reboots.

Any thoughts as to why? Below is the commands to run in TE:

su -

mount -orw,remount /system

rm /system/etc/hosts

ln -s /su/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts

mount -oro,remount /system
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryspar:
My X has been working just fine for a long time. Suddenly I got "No Service" on the status bar and... I had no service.

The "No Service" comes and goes. In between, I get voice and some data (H or H+, never LTE which I had before the problem started). The phone displays "No Data SIM" in the quicksettings tile.

So far I tried:

- Is it a network problem? Nope, I put the SIM in a different phone and it was fine.

- Switching carriers to a different provider, same problem.

- Reset phone, tried various ROM's, Motorola stock as well as CM.

- Double and triple checked the SIM card, SIM slot, APN settings, etc

Any ideas, or is this a hardware failure and just RIP time?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naty106135:
Hey guys , i bought the

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0'

from thailand this is the full Specs:

On the box stated : SM-T715YZDETHL

in the about menu stated : SM-T715Y

Build Number : MMB29K.T715YDXU2BPJ1

T715YDXU2BPE3

android 6.0.1

- i didn't touch it , just update (no root nor anything alike)

the first time i opened the device ( which was sealed ofc ) it had a issue that some texts got dissapeared (you see like W lc om instead of Welcome and some more stuff like that) , black covers layers of the screen some times and a few more strange stuff.

i cannot send it to services of thailand because i dont live there nor around there.

once updated to 6.0.1 seems like the first problem solved but i still cannot play any 3D Game (it just crash on start , also i get poor results on some benchmark tests) , seems like an hardware issue but i wanted to make sure its not a software issue.

i wanted to install an english version or internetional version 6.0.1 android but cannot find any info on it. and not sure about the thai version i have.

so , what roms can i flash ? , do i need to do bootloader unlock first or something like that ?

thanks alot guys - you guys are my last hope...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naty106135:
well.. now it wont even charge.. (it's just giving a Red X icon on the battery while connected to the charger (all original and came with it!)

it started 2 minutes after i added a new SIM Card somehow ..

i tried 4 diffrent chargers (which works on other phones and tablets).

cannot burn a new rom because the usb wont regonize even in Download mode.

any idea ?

(i tried to blow air inside the charge pin and clean it.. all stayed the same sadly..) .

thanks guys.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] umarhamzah18:
Hi, I hope I'm posting this question in the right place because I'm new here and I need assistance, I bought a fairly used HTC one m7 with a faulty camera that doesn't work but I got it fixed at a local repairer, after the fix, I updated my os from android 4.3 to the latest available 5.0.2 RUU from HTC website, immediately after the update, I noticed my camera focus doesn't work, all images in the camera looks blur except if brought to just few centimetres away from it, the icon for the front camera is missing, it told me to swipe the screen to swap cameras which technically did nothing, I tried downloading a third party selfie app and it goes to the back camera by default, I managed to downgrade the phone's OS even below the one it came with to 4.1.2 but still no avail, I'm pretty sure it's no hardware problem because I used the camera perfectly few hours before the update, the preloaded OS was a customized version I guess because I could unlock the phone just by swiping the HTC logo and it came with this "soul tweaks" preinstalled.

Sorry it took me so long to reply although faced some serious flashing issues, ur suggestion worked like charm bro, after flashing viperone one rom, I got my camera working 100% , unfortunately I had to go back to stock because I faced a lot of bug issues on viper one. I downgraded my phone too low (4.3) and also faced some Chinese character issues from my network provider so I wanted upgrading it back to (5.0.2 or 4.4.3) but I got error 155 using RUU or failed using fastboot, but any ways, thanks for your help, I appreciate

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bildi:
I recently bought, rooted, installed LeeDroid on HTC 10.

Im trying to figure out a few issues.

When i flashed Leedroid it added Superuser app. But I already had SuperSu. Do i need both or are they doing the same thing. I tried to install Adaway and it says it wasnt given root access. When i try to open SuperSu it says there is no SU binary. Do i just flash SuperSU again in twrp. Or should superuser be granting root?

Is Xposed safe to use with Leedroid?

How can i download directly to the sd card?

Once i flash a leedroid update can i delete the .zip?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bildi:
Okay i reflashed SuperSU and it seems to be okay. Still not sure if thats the right thing since superuser was on there...Its runs through what seems 2 boot cycles now. Which is odd.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] hansgraff:
I have a SM-G930FD Grey Market via Ebay to the US (UAE Version). I've been having some funny issues where it randomly changes the active SIM card on me. I thought maybe I should try flashing a new stock but during that process I discovered a weird issue that I can't get fixed. When I go to recovery mode the "installing update" screen comes up for a few seconds followed by a new screen that shows a warning sign with an exclamation point then a dead android with "x's" over it's eyes. The phone then goes to boot mode. Is this normal? If not, what do I do?

I should also note that the phone has been locking up - at least once a day.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jay-red:
I got to my local T-Mo store just a little bit after they opened and confirmed they had the V20 in stock, to which he said they only had 5. I was happy to snag one, but during the setup I noticed some weird glitches with text. I didnt think much of it and kept on setting it up. The screen flickered a few times and I still ignored it until I started trying to actually use the phone, it would kick you to the home screen every few seconds and the screen glitches were happening more and more. I tried a reset and the issue still stayed so I called the store hoping they still had any in stock to which he tells me he has one more.

I rush back to the store and prove to them the issue and they get me the last one from the back. After setting it up it seems to be solid, no weird screen flicker and it has not kicked me back to the home screen. Knowing that they had so few I was worried that they would not have one to replace with and I would have to call T-Mo and have them ship a replacement. Hopefully my device was a one off thing and no one else has issues like that.

Will the new Advantage come out soon ? My friend thinks that they will release a revision early next year, but I honestly think we have about a half a year left till we see anything.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
if the universal is anything to go by it could be a few years and waiting !

The real name for the advantage is the X7500 a few months after it was released an even newer version called the X7501 came out for the US market, and this might be what your friend is thinking of ! however newer is not always better, the X7501 is identical in every way except it has LOST 1 of the 2 cameras from the X7500, gained an FM radio (which might be coming to the X7500 anyway as some reckon the hardware exists but has been disabled) and lastly is shiped with windows mobile 6 instead of 5 which is a moot point as you can now just download Win 6 and upgrade your X7500 anyway.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
My wish lists are:

- No hardware keyboard. Althernatively, have one that slides out, like the ones in Toshiba Protege G920 or Nokia N810.

- No magnet please.

- Uses SSD and at least 32GB

- Use SDHC rather than miniSDHC. SDHC seems to be always ahead in terms of moving into higher capacity.

- WM7

- Camera that takes acceptable pictures indoor. The present one does not work unless you're outdoor.

- 5 MP main camera and a VGA front camera.

- Less weight.

- Maintains 5" screen but reduce the size of the metal frame around the screen, so overall size is reduced.

- Embedded ear piece, so that use of BT headset becomes entirely optional.

- Vibration for phone

- More rounded and thinner profile.

- Infra, so that I can make it my remote control

- FM radio tuner for TMC and musics.

- Built-in TV tuner

- 800x480 resolution - Not too sure about this one, due to concern over software compatibilty issues. Otherwise, the shape would resember a handphone better.

- Faster internet browser, like the one in Nokia N810

- 802.11n for faster connection

- USB 2.0

- Latest bluetooth.

- GPS Assist, ,so that I can get signal inside buildings and tunnels.

Come on HTC, you should be able to make this.

Just my opinion
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hedgemonstahinz:
total agreement from me with regards to the slide out keyboard. i have seen a device for the pc that projects the display of a keyboard onto what ever you place the device onto, sort of like a laser projection, that would be sweet but your battery would die after one text message or email!!

The size has always been an issue for me, but we knew that it was a monster/powerhouse/umpc/ugly brick shaped phone when we purchased the athena/ameo!!!

as for the camera, dudes, if you have money to throw around at the advanced phones...... buy a digi cam. C'mon, its a phone! Having said all this, im gonna confuse you all by saying, i want the new htc sprint with vista/touchflo. hehehe

3) FIX the REALVGA issues, give us the power to run programs at different DPI resolution, we know, REALVGA comes from you! :)

Ok sorry for idiotic question, but what are DRM and why do i need them? i backed them up on start before rooting, now i have tested few roms and stuff. But do i need to restore DRM for better photos or something? Or os not possible to restore DRM on costum rom. Its my first sony in years
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baradoura:
I don't know that much on DRM and Development, I'm just a passionate guy, so what am gonna say is perhaps wrong so dont blame me :p

DRM (Digital Right Management) are keys used to "protect" the phone.

Those keys are sets by the firm (In this case SONY)

To enable some functions on the phone.

When you buy a new phone, DRM are already set up and everything works fine, but some phone functions require those keys to work (on the Z5 x-realty photos, bravia engine display needs them to work) .

If you unlock your bootloader, you delete by the same time those key located on the TA partition and so, X reality and Bravia cease to work,

I know that on the Samsung devices the fingerprint sensor is completely disabled if you lost DRM I don't know if it's the same on the Z5.

Once deleted you can't recover them, they're lost for ever, even if you relock your bootloader !

Actually I don't know if you can recover the keys if you have backed up your TA partition, but according to what I've read you can't, BUT you can emulate them.

DRM aren't only for phone, you can find some in video games protections, computer, or that kind of stuff
