I would consider rooting if there was a root without tripping knox. At the moment I can't root phone anyway because there is no way to make Barclays Mobile Banking app working when rooted. Living without root is possible. I'm not loosing much :)

any help is appreciated as this is the only phone i have.

Thanks in advance

Wrong session.

Your phone is in 9008 mode.

Flash fastboot firmware with MI Flashtool.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] Sithu Htun:
Hello packet error could be solved by selecting proper firehose emmc programmer file in firmware directory before flashing.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] JulianJenner:
http://en.miui.com/thread-290959-1-1.html

Some firmwares support rebooting to Emergency Download (EDL) mode in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to send the command to the device.

Since FastBoot protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.

I occasionally locked bootloader in my officially unlocked/rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) so it could only boot to FastBoot or Diagnostic 900E modes. Tried to swich from 900E to 9008 with QPST but it reported unspecified error.

Analyzing aboot (emmc_appsboot.mbn) found that it supports "reboot-edl" so the only thing remaining was to find a way to send it.

With patched fastboot.exe, successfully rebooted to EDL mode (9008) and re-flashed proper partition images.

Therefore, to switch your half-bricked phone to EDL mode, you should do the following:

Download the attached ZIP archive and unpack it to an empty folder.

Boot the phone into FastBoot mode by holding both Volume Down and Power buttons until the bunny appears.

Connect the phone to the PC.

Double-click the "edl" (edl.cmd) file.

If the bunny disappears, your phone was rebooted and now should be in EDL mode (LED should flash red but not always).

Run MiFlash, wait 3-5 seconds and click "Refresh", COM port should appear in the list.

Proceed with MiFlash as described in the appropriate topics.

To check if this method can work for your device, open aboot image from FastBoot firmware file set (emmc_appsboot.mbn or similar file) in a hex viewer/editor and search for "reboot-edl" string.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] wajeehuzkhan:
Tried that already nothing works. is there anyway to flash directly from the edl and not from fastboot as my phone is unable to go into fastboot mode

I'm new to owning a galaxy s4, and touchwiz is ok, not great but ok, and I cant make out if this smart manager is good or just a pain in the rear

for example, sky sports app, installed, smart manager tells me is uses a lot of battery power, weird it didn't on my other phones

Antuntu benchmark, smart managerl tells me the same, and it used a lot of battery overnight, so smart manager was right but again I never experienced this in other phones

I can see why people ditch touchwiz, what does other people think about smart manager?

I have found a supplier of the Original Yotaphone 2 Bumper Case.

http://www.ebay.com/usr/2hfg9w

I have been looking to purchase an original Yotaphone Bumper Case for some time, after hearing that the aluminium ones effect GPS and WiFi signal. I tried a cheap silicone one, but it does not fit properly.

I am really happy with the original bumper, I am not affiliated with the seller. I am just happy to be able to protect my device from the demands of everyday life, in a way that does not destroy the aesthetics of the phone.
[YotaPhone] sonof:
Not for sale anymore.

Edit: Back on sale but only red and blue bumpers available. Would hope to find a black one.
[YotaPhone] YotaDevicesRussia:
It is for sale at the moment - please check now
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
This Original bumper is 30 dollars For A Silicon Bumper, a quarter the price of a new yotaphone 2 from China, containing complex circuitry, OLED, camera, e-ink screen. All for a silicon Bumper Made In the Same Factory As my Bumper Costing 1.37 Dollars.

If Your bumper Does Not Fit, There Are Ways Of Shrinking it, google It !
[YotaPhone] Evanopos:
Does these supplier ship their products globally, or just for several countries? I lived in Indonesia and I definitely want one 'cuz it's hard to find a great Yotaphone case here. In many stores across the country, I only found either aluminum case, softgel case, or any of those Chinese third party case, and I didn't liked it. The OEM (Yota branded) case is better looking, even though it comes with a higher price.

What about the holes for charging cable, speaker , volume rocker and jack at top though ? Any hole made in a stretched bumper will not last 1 hour.

yes, it is delivered globally, except Israel and some African countries. Did you buy it?

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Guys, the problem is that Yota is selling their phones cheaper than the prime cost price - and to lower the losses it has to sell accessories more expensive than usual. And, by the way, how much does original iPhone cases cost? even more expensive... so, have a look please http://www.ebay.com/itm/YotaPhone-2...ota-Devices-Russia-9H-Protector-/311786675721

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaky2xd:
Hey there!

I replaced my Xperia Z2 with the Z5. Both are running Android 6.0.1 at the moment and I used to root all my devices and install xposed framework, a recovery and I always unlock the bootloader in order to have access to custom kernels etc. I did that on my Z2 because Android M is the final version. However, the Z5 will recieve the Android N Update, I have already heard that the beta has started. Should I wait for the official update and then root and so on? Obviously I will have to install a recovery on marshmallow before I can flash a prerooted Android N zip...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathStroke:
Budy that's totally upto you. I'm Seafarer and was not having access to all these things, but the day I came home, the first thing I did with my device was unlocking it's bootloader and root it. Because you are going to get Android N update anyway and you'll be able to root that too.

So just go ahead with what you need right now and you think is right.

Regards.

All,

One thing that has always bugged me in Windows Mobile is the fact that "Remove Programs" isn't sorted alphabetically. Instead it is sorted by the order you have installed programs. If you ever restore from SPB Backup it then inverts this order as well.

Is there any registry settings or hack that can be done to sort this list alphabetically by default?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello xdadevelopers-community,

About me:

I'm a "android learner" and my made first (in play-store released) app.

I made this project, to see how the whole process about an app - release works.

Not only the coding, also the other things after the pure programming.

So I tried to keep the programming as low as possible. But complex enough to learn a lot about android.

That mean the very basics (Activitys, Fragments, Intents,...) and little bit deeper things (Animations, AsyncTasks, inline Layoutchanges and presentation, GooglePlayServices, etc.).

It was a very interesting process to final publication. I learned about AndroidDevConsole, PlayStore-Entries, Logo and Picture-resultions, how ads work(AdMob), beta testing and much more.

The result was an very very dump app, but as I said, its not for sucess or similar.

About my post:

The app was released months ago, but then I get private problems and must stoped working at this part of my hobby.

Finally i want to bring this experience to an end.

I'm now at a point where I think, this app is in her final form.

So the last step is the criticism from way better developers.

(I wish i can post the link to the app here, but i don't have the permisions to do that. You can find it, if you go to the PlayStore and search for pright.superuser.tabtheright)

It would be very nice, if someone could sacrifice his time for a short look over it and give me his/her opinion about it.

I don't need a review, i know the "mechanics" are very bad.

But if you find:

unexpected crashes

app problems (something seems to work not right or shown right)

scale problems (i only had 2 devices for testing)

other problems..

Or if you had hints, critics or opinions about:

presentation

PlayStore-entry

other improvements..

..I would be very grateful to be pointed out and learn about how to make it better.

Thanks for youre time.

Ray

PS:It's my first post in this forum, so if it's in the false section, please give me a hint or move it into the right.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
was obvious something like this was coming, they can't afford to legally force people to return the phones but since the recall is in effect they can legally disable them due to safety concerns. it's the same as I was reading the other day certain UK insurance companies are looking to void the insurance if a Note is anywhere near the incident. they are already banned on pretty much every airline, is it really worth putting up with a year of having to avoid people who don't want the phone in any situation it could cause a problem? the local hospitals in my area in the UK actually have a full ban on the Note as well if you are in the hospital with one you will be escorted by security off the grounds of the hospital and not allowed to return until you have got rid off the phone off site.

so yeah if you want to use a service and they have safety concerns and want to ban something that is entirely up to them, if you want to hang onto something that is potentially dangerous and take a chance that is up to you, but end of the day if it's their house it's their rules.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Yes, but who is the "they" here?

What's in it for Verizon or Vodafone? Samsung can't block IMEI numbers. I'm genuinely puzzled why the industry is so hell bent on getting all of these phones out of circulation. The efforts they are going to are not commensurate with the levels of damage to people and property we have seen. Which incidentally, seem to be declining by the day.

The fact is that a single Note7 is about 100x less dangerous than a single Honda (or any other) motorbike. Does it not strike people as rather weird that all these agencies are trying so hard to get rid of Note7's? It does me.

I would have thought all that was needed was for Samsung to say they there's a problem and that you shouldn't use it and that if you do, it's at your own risk. But they are trying MUCH MUCH harder than this. It's almost like they know something terrible about the phone and are not telling us.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] agaryt:
One of the phone has inside key for immortality hidden by one of samsung's engineer and now they try to find it by recalling all of them. Some people new it beforehand and tried to get to the key by smashing phone which then got fire as a result which gave solid base to recall all units by Samsung.

The rep from Verizon explained it to me. He also said Verizon employed some psychic to find the key by simply touching every note 7 before sent it to Samsung...

He said he hates one of the psychic to the guts because he touches iPhones as well and this is not professional.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
lets say your phone does fail and causes considerable property of physical damage what would you then do? in the majority of cases the person will try to sue Samsung, the carrier or other so these firms are taking every effort to get the point across if you are still holding onto the phone it is entirely on you, if they take every option to stop people using the phone they are 100% free and clear as they have done everything possible to stop the use of a potentially defective device.

now on the other hand looking at all the places and insurance firms trying to discourage use of the phone or banning it, if your phone goes up in say a locker and damages the belonging of several other people would you be willing to cover those damages? because with the amount of action taken to discourage the use of the phone you are at a point where the user is 100% liable and firms will ban it because they know the type of person hanging onto the phone will likely be the type who would try to sue someone rather than admit fault and that is why people are trying to stop the use of the device "in their house" because they know it is likely them who will lose out and have to take legal action to recoup damages.

I promise you they will get sued and lose if they do that here in the US. It is not the carrier's job to protect citizens, especially if they have no proof the phone is definitely going to burn.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
It makes no sense what so ever to keep the phone outside of ego issues. Either "look at me I am a rebel" or "I've got a phone you can't get."

- Alternatives with nearly the same specs are out (Pixel and V20 both outperform the Note 7)

- support is going to be dead, Samsung and 3rd party

- it's not going to receive updates

- it's a hazard, Samsung didn't just kill one of their golden eggs for fun.

- keeping your phone affects more than just you.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] statikk1:
Cars kill people more than your mobile phone could ever do yet people still buy them. Takata airbags can possibly kill you yet they are still out there. Toyota hasn't forced everybody to stop servicing your car until you exchange the airbag. Driving such a car definitely affect more than the owner but they are still out on the road. Nobody has banned them!!

Samsung didn't recall the note 7 because they care about you. It's called PR, saving face and avoiding lawsuits which btw are already on the way.

I'm definitely in agreement with the ban on airlines. Where can one go with a burning phone?

LG nor pixel phones have a true stylus which is the real reason note users have been buying the phone for.

Geez, must be terrible to survive ONE year on a Note7 with marshmallow and s#$t loaf of features with no future updates. Note 4 almost took two years to recieve the update to marshmallow. And?

I'm not keeping my note7 because I'm a rebel or because I crave some stupid status. I'm keeping it because I can. I'm the one taking the risk. I own rc crafts that use lipo batteries that are far far worse and volatile than your fear of lion batteries. BTW, you do realise we are talking about a mobile phone with a tiny lion battery? This is not a laptop or an electric car that can really injure you!
