[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] pandashoe:
but thats not the point it means if google pay doesnt work lots of other things wont work like banking apps and many other things that Elephone say that will work on the p9000 and the p8000 and if you dont have anything constructive maybe saying nowt is a good option
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] mentalasanything:
The thread implies it is commecial madness by Elephone, I commented that it did not and would not affect me as a user.

I did not realise that being a member on XDA means that I can only "comment" in threads once getting pandashoe's approval or agreeing with their OPINIONS.

Ah well, theres always one and now I know who it is :eek:
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlx:
Any phone that has had its Bootloader Unlocked or has been Rooted will face the same problems, so to say it is just an Elephone thing is wrong, if those things are important then get a locked down phone and don't root.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Michiel0912:
My banking app works.

Google pay is not the end of the world, buy a "cumpliant" phone if you need it.

I hope pandas hoe approves my message.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevespalding:
I don't know what banking apps you use but I use four of them and each and every one of them work just fine. The Only one that is problematic is the one that uses fingerprint recognition as a method of authentication and that has nothing to do with Android Pay.

Personally, I found mentalasanything's post quite constructive - just because he doesn't agree with you does not make it non-constructive. I agree with him in that Android Pay is something that just doesn't interest me.

On the other hand, I would agree that the way Elephone conducts itself is terrible by the standards of a western / European company. The thing is though, they aren't a western or European company and appear to already have a pretty terrible reputation here.

I have only owned the device for a week and frankly the software on it is beyond awful. The hardware appears to be very good value for money (ok the camera and fingerprint sensor aren't stellar but can be improved with software) but the stock ROM feels like an early beta rather than the ROM of a device that's a year old. I am holding out for a build of Deepflex's CM13 that has all the features I want working at the same time - then I will be quite happy with the device.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SolarisSixth:
Hello,

I've been reading around and I can't seem to find a way to get root without going through the bootloader unlock process.

Is there something I'm missing? Or is it just not possible currently?

I don't need TWRP for now, I might dabble in custom roms later, but for now I was just looking for a way to delete some of the bloat.

Failing root without boot unlock, IS there another way I can possibly delete those apps? Mostly the Google stuff and a few stock apps I'm not using.

Thanks
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
You can use Debloater on a Windows PC to disable most anything on the phone you don't want without root. You don't get the free space back, but unless you're cramped for space it's not that big a difference.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Bootlaoder unlock is the only safe process in rooting.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SolarisSixth:
Thanks, Debloater did the job!

Would be nice to get the space back, but yeah, not hurting for it, and disabling the packages is good enough for now.

I DO plan on going through the whole process, but this does the job.

Much appreciated.
[Palm Treo 750] kritikal:
Has anyone noticed that when the treo is on vibration mode it vibrates for the same amount of time as the ringtone??

So if I have a 30 sec ringtone it will vibrate non stop for 30 secs... and if I put a 5 sec ringtone, it will vibrate for 5 secs, stop and vibrate again. Same thing for text messages...

is there any way of changing that..? It really kills my battery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
So I need help. I tried un rooting my s7 edge by flashing the stock files in ODIN, I selected T-Flash in ODIN options because that's what I remembered selecting in the past. Little did I know I forgot to select Re-Partition too. Now my phone shows a black screen, I cant boot into recovery or download mode, but it would seem like the phone isn't shutting off because when I connect it to my PC its immediately recognized and no matter how many button combinations I try it just is disconnected from the PC for about half a second and then re connects. I don't get any response from the phone though. The screen is pitch black and i cant get it to do anything. After flashing I noticed it wasn't booting up at all it was in download mode and when it finished the screen turned black and never came back on. When connected to my PC it is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) in my device manager ODIN Does not recognize it and neither does any other application. Can I please get some help here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ChadH42:
Try pressing and holding the power button until the device shuts off. It could take up to a minute of holding the button down continuously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Yeah that does nothing. I'm still stuck on the black screen and nothing is happening. I'm about to just sit in a corner and cry. No matter what I try nothing comes on no LED no display no vibrations, all I get is the connection sound on my computer when I connect it that is it it does nothing else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Try recovery mode:

Hold Vol+, Home, and then Power

From there you should be able to wipe or boot to download mode. Hopefully...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Nope.. nothing.. still a completely black screen and no lights.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Not sure of the legitimacy of this or not but you don't have much to lose...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
It wont detect my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I really hate giving links to outside sources when I don't know anything about it but this seems to be your only hope unless you can bring it to a store and have them swap it out with a new one.

http://www.leakite.com/2016/06/revised-how-to-unbrick-qualcomm-android.html?m=1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Do you by any chance understand this guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I read through it some, looks complicated. You don't have to follow the guide. The easiest thing you could do is bring it to where you purchased it and then get it swapped for a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
No luck there, I don't have any insurance or returns. Nothing else we can try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Well like I said before, I don't like giving out directions like I did if I don't recognize the steps to complete it or if others have not supported the validity of it. I don't want to stray you in the wrong direction. The only thing I think you should do, my opinion of course, is attempt to return it under or try to get it repaired under warranty as you don't need insurance as long as you didn't trip Knox, which I don't believe you did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Okay so i called Samsung and they let me send it in for repair, I'm shipping it out tomorrow. All they asked for was a email my address name and they gave me this code or whatever. I thought I would need like a receipt or something but I guess not. I bought the phone used from Swappa so I thought i'd be screwed. I just hope Knox inst messed up which it shouldn't be because it never was and it failed when I was trying to flash stock firmware. Oh and its free of charge since it hasn't been a year of the phones release yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Glad you could get it sorted out. Sucks that it will take a little longer but it's better than attempting to follow complicated tutorials that may not even work and may make the problem worse. Hope they send you a new one, just be careful next time you flash anything. Read the instructions, make sure you understand them and ask about what you don't, then read through again to double check and you shouldn't have any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
The only thing I'm worried about is if they call me saying they won't repair it because I have no proof of purchase since I bought it used. I'm so anxious to get my phone back really hoping everything is smooth. It's apparently covered by the 1yr warranty every phone comes with but why would they not ask for a receipt but whatever I just want everything to go smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
The Samsung S7's came out in March of this year, so regardless of when you have bought it at this time it's obviously still within the warranty period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Oh okay. And what about not having a proof of purchase. Does it even matter for this kind of warranty?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Once the phone has been out over a year where it's not a guarantee that you must have purchased it within the last 12 months then yes, they most likely would ask for a receipt. You're just lucky like that. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] S7EDGEBRICKED:
Oh wow so its basically just lucky timing, nice. I'm never rooting the phone again all i wanted were better emojis and the note 7 UX and I couldn't even get the Note 7 UX so its not worth it. It's an amazing phone on it's own. I won't ever try and root another Verizon phone there's always little support cause of the bootloader and I always run into something. Glad I dont have to worry much just takes time.

[IMG="lg l fino"]http://i.imgur.com/22kCBmq.png[/IMG]I tried to do what the instructions say, but when I try to press the "download" button, it doesn't let me, because of no port selected. when i select a port (wich is the one my lg is connected) it let's me download but gives me "failed to switch to emergency download mode"

---------- Post added at 23:41 ---------- Previous post was at 23:15 ----------

[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] pedrofrade332:
I tried to preven the relink driver by disconnecting my computer from the internet, and reinstalling the qualcomm driver, and it worked. the program reconized it properly. but when i click download it hangs in the "use verbose mode: false" stage

can you make a detailed video?

Thanks. Gonna try this when I get home.
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] DavRei:
I really want to help you, but I don't know why you get this error... Do you have text "Switching to firehose" and under "Wait for 3 seconds"?
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] DavRei:
PS: I had only ONE chance to test this... Because when my L Fino did fix with this method I don't want to brick it and test again...
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] DavRei:
I looked to my record from unbricking and I too have "Use Verbose : False" but it continued downloading...

Try putting the D290N UNBRICK directly on disc (best on another partition if you have it)

EDIT: I think I know why you have this problem. I forgot about disabling integrity checks and driver test mode. I'm going to edit post!

EDIT 2: I added this very important point. Look at first point
[LG L Fino Guides, News, & Discussion] pedrofrade332:
How do you know it's still downloading? (btw does it require internet, because after I did what you told me to, I still get the "RELINK Qualcomm Driver thing")

---------- Post added at 00:56 ---------- Previous post was at 00:47 ----------

I think i managed to fix the RELINK thing. But even with internet connection it just hangs at this stage and the task manager shows no activity by the application

Hi, I have D295 L Fino in 9008 mode and I tried to unbrick it by following your guide, but was unable to unbrick it. I get the below error in QFIL UI. Can you please make Unbricking Rom for D295, it probably failed as I used the files you have for D290N.

It switched to firehose, yes. But it stays on the "verbose" thing for a long time, and the status bar doesn't move or present the blue color that it should. And no, I didn't click the "download" button too fast. I waited 3 seconds or more between each step

I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't work for anyone... I'm realy don't know why QFIL show sahara error.

If error appears try fast click download again, or click download 2-5 seconds after plugging in phone.

PS: I DON'T RECOMMEND UNBRICKING PHONE AT THIS MOMENT IF YOU WANT FULLY WORKING PHONE! What dosn't work: 3G network (probably in most countries), calling (disconnect from GSM after 15 - 60 seconds), language list (only some languages like english, chinesse. You have to change language with 3rd app), can't run CyanogenMod, other small bugs.

I don't know exactly how the brick process was, but I think that it was with a bad or wrong ROM, because the owner reported that it worked for a few days before the brick (The owner isn't an advanced user, did not modify the phone)

I have download the ROM from here: lg-phone-firmware . com/index.php?id_mod=103

I tried the process of unbrick on D295F, I only change the ROM's archives and Download on QFIL, the process starts ok, but never end, no errors, no warnings, after 1 hour and nothing. The sector adresses are diferents in the NAND Flash (rawprogram0)?
