[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I think I may have partially bricked my rooted TCL 5054N with (or should I say without) Android 5.1. I was combing the internet seeing what I could find in terms of making my phone even faster than it already is, when I came across a rather infamous app called Xposed framework installer. Before you call me a noob I read the warnings and everything, but then I said to myself "this page is almost a year old by now, surely Android is a lot better suited now than when this page was published." So I took the risk, and sure enough wired things started happening, my phone took ages to start, everything lagged like hell, the CPU load was maxed out, and none of bigger apps would start. I tried removing Xposed and wiped the phone cache, but the effects were still there and they got worse the longer my phone was on, until the UI began to malfunction. I tried using a recovery app to boot into recovery, but nothing was in any of the directories and the phone was still acting up so I tried wiping it and that didn't work. Long story short, my primary phone doesn't have an operating system or cwm or twrp. I did manage to upload a backup ROM and kernel to google drive in case something like this happens. Does anyone know if it's possible to move the backups from a PC to the phone in this state?

LS,

Samsung Galaxy J3 with Android 5.1.1 is missing the "screen mirroring"; can i still get it enabled without any 3rd party application...?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Dave Snr:
Disappointed

I bought the J3 2016 and have been trying in vain to find a way to mirror screen but sadly samsung have removed the function from the phone.

I've tried apps from Google playstore but still no joy....sad to say mirror screening just isn't possible.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] michaelmarvin1979:
Well there's sort of a way

If it's a video from YouTube or anywhere on the web and you DO NOT have a screen mirror option you can get an app from the play store called VIDEO WEB CASTER. It's pretty easy and it's good enough to get the job done until there's a better option later on. Apps evolve every day...

Hi cracks,

Just read somewhere in another thread that somebody was asking about the bad colors of WM6 and that it was much better under WM5.

But now it is even not possible with downgrading to WM5 to get the right settings back.

This is the same for me (S200 G4). All pictures and movies are looking bad just as you would have not enough colors anymore.

Any idea what it is or how to solve that?

Am I really the only one having this problem?

Is there perhaps a registry setting for adjusting that?

Thanks,

Boris
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
I would like to know the answer too

I also have the same problem. Anybody knows a solution?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
My screen got fixed.

After resetting to WM5 I still had the problem. But after Hard resetting twice it's fixed. Boris03, Could you confirm this. I would like to upgrade again but not at the cost of busting my graphics, So I don't want to experiment again. Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
Problem back again

After a few minuts when I turned it on again, the problem was back. So I'm sorry for the wrong info, but it was fixed for a few miutes for sure.:confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] lastnikita:
are you guys talking about camera pictures & vidz ? if so, it's just that your device is overclocked while it shouldn't.... if not, describe your problem better so that someone can answer it... post screenshots... help yourself.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
Screen shots

I am speaking of the windows screens actually. It is not noticable on all screens but ones with gradient shades show it and also where there are menu buttons. I took Lastnikita's advice and took screen shots.......... but on my PC the screens look perfect.:mad:

I'll try to explain what I see on my PPC. In terms of RGB, it looks like the blue has shifted from the rest of the colors a bit to the right. This is noticable in menu buttons where the left half looks pinkish while the blue overlaps the button boundary and sticks out the right. In gradient colors i.e. the contacts screen there is a blue column on the laft of the screen and a lot of pink around the middle. The effect looks like a low bitrate image. Maybe I can use a seperate camera to take a picture.

I have downgraded after using Touch X ROM and am now using 2.20.7.34 WWE ROM.

Thanks.

If you used a software screenshot, it would have taken an image of what was supposed to be shown. To me it sounds like a hardware fault rather than a driver related issue.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
Yes. I just found this out and I was thinking the same thing. But the similarity of the problem looked strange. Maybe the problem is not the same either. Thanks.

I'd like to help. But are you willing to risk of opening up your PDA? I was desperate.

This will void your warranty.

I tried to write a description but it's too hard:(

The basic idea is to open up the back. 2 screws are visible under the battery cover the other two are under the Camera cover plate which is the only hard part to remove. It has catches on both sides near the bottom edges. If this is opened then you can see the other 2 screws. Once unscrewed you can take off the back panal. It also has some catches but they give in to a little pressure in the joining gap. I used my nails to liver it. The back has to be taken away carefully as the speaker is connected to this and you don't want to break the wire. Once this is open and you place the back cover beside the unit so the wire is not streached you can start working on the ribbon.

You'll see a copper ribbon just above the IR port connecting to the motherboard. It is locked with a clip. You can unlock the clip by ..................

I'm not sure you're interested anymore.:) . Let me know if you are.

It would be better with pictures or MSN maybe.

I don't know if this forum has a rule against giving out MSN IDs.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] matrix_reload:
well, maybe I should bring my Neo to the store (still warranty more 6 months left ^-^). I only used PDA for more 1 month, so I don't know much about them. Concern to hardware maybe I can't do well as you ^-^.

Thank you very much for helping me!

I am from Vietnam, so my English is bad. I don't know the following is true or not? ^-^

Bad colors since WM6

Hi all,

I cannot believe that this should be a cable problem. It was just since I was upgrading to WM6 and the downgrade is not solving the thing anymore.

It is just like you display a video or pictures with 16Mio Colors on a 16Color display. And before the same video and pictures looked brilliant.

On other thing is that e.g. the background pictures (theme) from Gullum are looking bad as well.

And also I can see the background colors flickering a little bit from time to time. Again this is since i upgraded the first time to WM6.

S200 G4, No overclocking.

Thanks,

Boris
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Pretender9:
The easy way to check out if its a cable problem is by taking screen shots. If they look good on the PC then chances are very high that it is a physical problem and just might be a cable problem. If they are the same on the PC as on the PPC then it obviously is not a similar problem to mine.

Thanks

Hey guys, kinda new here so if someone has asked this question before and you guys have answered him/her, just point in the right direction.

So just like the title states i have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900M , its rooted and its actually running Resurrection Remix 6.0.1, but when i try to look for a new rom on here, i can never find the right one, its always some other variant.

So my questions is, will they all work on G900M or do i have to look for one specifically? I didnt have this confusion when i was working on my i9500. So dont get frustrated with me.

Thanks a bunch.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] syntropic:
I have an HTC 10 unlocked and use it with TMOUS as my carrier. Although HTC claims it's compatible or identical to T-Mobile, there is a glitch/bug in my current radio (which is native to the stock HTC ROM build number 1.96.617.2). This bug somehow prevents the phone from using certain TMO bands efficiently. Thanks for the info /u/twinnfamous.

Anyway, I know of easier routes to get a better radio on this phone, but who wants easy?? Plus, two years ago with my M8, I successfully extracted the ROM from an RUU, and then extracted the firmware from the ROM...Plus I removed all the annoying files that would have forced an internal storage wipe or added T-Mobile bloatware. So I know I did this once already, so it shouldn't be hard this time.

But here are my questions:

A. of course I could flash the whole ROM, but then if I flash the ROM, I'll have a full TMO OS, a/k/a a T-Mobile ROM, and that means I likely wouldn't receive these nifty HTC OTAs, dip I'd prefer to keep the ROM that on it now, just update the firmware or radio... Therefore, would having a t-mobile firmware extracted from the ROM which is taken from a TMO RUU work with a ROM that's installed already on my phone now (which is a stock HTC ROM with a higher build of 1.96.617.2)?

Although I did this procedure do really 2 years ago, I seem to have forgotten a lot.. Would anyone know of a relatively recent article, post or video which hours in depth as to how to best disassemble an RUU, to get to the ROM, and then lastly to pull the Rom apart top get the firmware or radio.img? I just tried to unzip the rom I found in the TMO RUU and it was comprised of a .bin file and 30+ archives, none of which would extract as it claimed it was missing it referred to as (from memory) a "central menu document"?? Do I have to use UnnRUU or RUUReveal? Thank you very much... There is dint info in this stuff, but most seems dated from 2010.

Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance!

-- tool to extract system.img + boot.img + firmware from RUU

---once have system.img + boot.img - SuperR kitchen or even the old dsixda Android kitchen work great to extract system.img (SuperR is up-to-date and can deodex current bases and build ROM + so much more)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] syntropic:
Thanks for introducing me to these tools. I finally had some time to boot into Linux and run them (or at least install them).

I ran the RUU-decrypt-tool twice but got a notice each time that there was "No Suitable Decryption Key". I don't know how often carriers/OEMs change their encryption but I wouldn't expect it to be very often.

Searching on RUU encryption simply brings up RUUReveal, but it's clear that the tool already includes/attempts to decrypt using all keys used by RUUReveal. I am reading through Captain_Throwback's thread now, but thought I'd reply to you here as well.

Would you have any suggestions or recommend any Devs here who might know how to create/obtain the right key?

Thanks again for your assistance!

Edit: I am extracting and submitting the hboot/hosd and hope a the right key will be found. HTC really scrambles, signs, and encrypts everything in this ROM it seems. Some of it is also fairly new to me... Although I was able to follow the shell script somewhat. It's proving to be fun! Looking forward to playing with the SuperR kitchen (used the old kitchen once back in 2012). Thanks again!

What are you trying and need/want?

I don't mind doing it for yah. Or at least try :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] syntropic:
That was quick. I added an edit above, but basically in reading Captain Throwbacks thread it asks for users to post the hboot/hosd files so someone (I assume) can figure out the right decryption key to produce. I'm in the middle of reading the posts which detail this.

So I should have those files soon. I will also post the output (have to run it again as I closed that terminal window unfortunately). I will post it here too.

Do you know how to generate a key from these encrypted files (or any files that can be extracted)? That would be awesome and I would love to learn watching "over your shoulder" (figuratively).

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] syntropic:
OK, I figured it out.. The RUU-Decrypt tool in linux required a older version of a package in openssl... So I just ran the Windows version and it worked great!

Thank you for your kind offer to help. I might have some questions regarding some of the files that were unpacked in the firmware folder. There are a good 10 or so with names I have not seen before (I am familiar with the HTC One M8 so I am a bit behind with HTC phone software). I am going to try and google or research what I can first. If you know of a source (link) where I might be able to read about the function of some of these files that would be terrifically helpful.

I'll post a list of the firmware files here either way.

Thank you!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan-Ruckz:
Since i haven't found any guides on the internet it took me a while to find something online about how to install android 6 on i9100, so I bundled up all my findings here with this guide.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN REWIND TO OLDER ANDROID VERSIONS, SO BE SURE YOU WANT YOUR i9100 ANDROID 6!

READ CAREFULLY AND DO STAGE AFTER STAGE!

Prerequisites:

1. Odin: google odin 1.85 you should be able to find online.

2. cm12 recovery + kernel download here:

http://galaxys2update.com/

3. lanchon repit tool:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995314132

(credits to lanchon, outstanding job, brilliant!)

4. cm13 rom download here:

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100

5. TWRP iso rec 3.0.0 download here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzD_xjzcaQBDOWJ3ZnNzR0o5bWc/view

(was a hard one to find)

6. Gapps 6.0 get here:

http://opengapps.org/

choose the ARM - 6.0 - Pico (always pick the smallest package)

7. Samsung USB drivers and a decent cable that works with pc

9. About at least 60%-70% battery

8. Sd card (4gb would be good)

now move the following to your sdcard: Lanchon repit file, Cm13 rom, twrp iso rec 3.0.0 and gapps.

Flash cm12 recovery+kernel via odin: go to download mode on your phone, connect your device to the pc (make sure odin recognises it, should say ...ADDED!), choose PDA and choose the cm12 recovery+kernel, make sure only reset time and auto reboot are ticked AND NOTHING ELSE, then install. (if odin does not recognises it, make sure to install samsung usb drivers).

1. Go to your recovery and wipe data and caches.

2. Install twrp iso rec, wipe again, click advanced and reboot to recovery.

always say yes to fix root at any stage

3. Install twrp iso rec again, wipe again, this time go to advanced and shutdown device FOR 10 MINUTES!

4.turn on (ONLY AFTER 10 MINS)

5. now go and install cm13 rom (might take a while)

6. wipe and next thing you need to do is to let your device boot into the cm13 boot animation, as soon as it does that, remove the battery.

7. turn on phone and go to recovery (twrp this time) and install twrp iso rec 3.0.0 again (yes i know)

8. install lanchon repit tool, now it will give you an error, so the next thing you do is going up a level and right into your /tmp directory, in which you find the same lanchon repit tool, and installing it from there.

(NEVER EVER EVER INTERRUPT THAT SCRIPT, IT WILL TAKE QUITE A WHILE BUT IT SHOULD WORK!!!!)

9. wipe data and cache, install cm13 again (or any other android 6 rom at your choice, i recommend resurrection remix)

10. install gapps 6.0 RIGHT AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE ROM!! (otherwise you would have to reflash the ROM).

11. wipe data and cache, and you are free to reboot into system, enjoy.

I hope I helped as many people as possible, tried to make this guide as informative as possible, if you got any questions feel free to ask.

2. Open Mi-Assisstant. Go to Autorun and select the 3 apps listed above. Log into Play store. - you won't be able to install or update anything for about an hour until Google recognises you are actually legit. Update everything when able to.

If/When you try to log into Gmail you will be prompted to update google play services, this may take a while to do so - above wait time - it will give an error until google decides you are able to use your account...

Hi, i just bought a new Samsung S5 from "The Good guys" in Perth. i was surprised to find it already had Android 6.0.1. installed, thought i would have to upgrade it from the old Kitkat version. I looked for the phone's build date, in Main versions RF cal is 2016.10.25. That didn't sound correct as i bought it 2 weeks after that date and i thought S5 production would have ceased long ago being a 2014 model. I downloaded "Phone info" app which gave a build date of 14-sep-2016. Surely Samsung is not still manufacturing new S5's ???
