Thanks I tried flash fire and it didn't regonize the kingo root, also tried flashify and it just rebooted the tablet and didn't work. So I will try with the fast boot.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Right now I remember I tried to flash twrp using fast boot and it gave me an error saying :FAILED (remote: flashing not allowed for locked hw).

Does this mean my bootloader is somehow locked? If so how do I unlock it?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Maybe try flashing a chainfire SuperSU.zip through flashing so that you can replace the kingo SU, then use the SuperSU app to clean up some of the kingo root remnants and have something recognizable when flashing TWRP. I have been doing a lot of Fire flashing work lately as I just used my warranty for a brick I replaced. Then, within a couple hours bricked the replacement due to me not turning off the OTA sufficiently while running 4.5.2 and used the Powerpoint45 technique (which worked brilliantly on the new Fire) and then stupidly lost root and had to revert back to 4.5.3. Needless to say, I have been reading and executing a lot of different actions. Currently, I'm on 4.5.3 with TWRP and finally getting the Google Play store to work.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle12345109876:
Does it help if I say before all this happened I had installed fire os 5 from twrp but i didn't boot it right after I cleared cache and dalvik and then flashed cm11. When I then booted the cm11 the twrp dissapered. Does this mean that I would have to flash the fire os 4 bootloader or something since fire os 5 can't doesn't work with twrp cause I'm sooo lost right now and would just love to get to any stable fire os.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Look at the TWRP thread for our Fire. I think it has the dd commands to install the recovery now that you are rooted once again. It sounds like you didn't install the 5.x.x uboot and recovery zip along with the update and lost recovery. I think you said you used the unbrick method and you just hung on the reading.sh. that method would give you TWRP and nothing else, but from there you could them flash the 5.x files in the thread. I used Flashify to get TWRP yesterday, and I think I had kingroot at the time. I know the is a zip only containing the 4.5.3 bootloader's, but I can't remember where I saw it right now, and if it would work or not. I'm still in learning more as well.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle12345109876:
Hi thanks for the help turns out I managed to brick the device once again so I just used powerpoints video to unbrick and now I have twrp again. Question though I tried to install fire os 4.5.3 in twrp but it give me an error sayingI have the Omni Ariel not the full Ariel so I can't flash the file. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killa8:
Hi the process should be fairly simple. Use the tutorial from the unbricking thread to get your device back to normal. It will be long but it works unless you have fire os 5(like me). Otherwise there's literally no other option you can use

Hi, this is my first post so I apologise if I do anything out of the ordinary. I was thinking of finally rooting and installing a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. There are so many nice roms on xda, that I don't know which one to choose. For anyone who have a custom rom installed, I would like to know which ones you like and why, and any recommendations would be helpful. Thank you very much for reading.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mursederp:
I don't know if anyone will respond. I successfully unlocked bootloader via tool and flashed TWRP 2.8+

But I think the problem is that I didn't know which JB bootloader I was using and just tried to flash via instructions from KatKiss 5.1.1 v30 because I've been flashing since Nexus one days and thought it would be the same (I'm stupid). Anyway I somehow managed to flash a different ROM but now stuck on a boot loop and obviously can't get access to Asus stock OS. KatshMallow 6.0.1 still loaded on the tablet with gapps but that won't boot up either.

I tried to adb sideload CM12.1 but it failed. Anyone know how I can get any stable ROM up and running with just using TWRP or adb sideload?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tyrande101:
I have my s7 Edge for 6 months and I've never had an issue with its water resistance until these issues came up. I was at Boracay island in the Philippines and when I was snorkeling in the sea, I swam with my phone s7 Edge and took videos under the sea which is salted water.

Scene 1:

- When I got back at my hotel, the first thing I did was to wipe it with towel and blow dry it with a blower especially the USB port and plugged it in the USB charger, as expected it didn't charge since moisture detection prompts. And so I left my phone not charging and slept

Scene 2:

- After I wake up, the first thing I did was to charge my phone, it did charge and I called my brother, my brother hears me very well. But on my 2nd call, the charging was cancelled and the moisture detection appears and my brother cannot hear me anymore unless I turn on the loudspeaker so that the top MIC would also work. Basically my USB port for charging and my bottom MIC has been busted until now.

Scene 3:

- After 3 days, I got back in Manila and the first thing I did was to rinse the phone with water. I rinsed the ports especially the USB port and the bottom MIC. And wiped it with towel and buried it with rice grains. I waited for a complete 24 hours and after that, the bottom MIC works (I test it with voice record) and the charging of the USB port works, however, while charging, somebody called me and right after I answered the call, immediately the moisture detection appears and my caller cannot hear me. The bottom MIC isn't working again.

What should I do now? I'm trapped with this issues for 1 week. I can't even use my phone normally. Please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] krico:
Hard lesson learned. Do not swim with a non-water proof phone. They are water resistant only like it would survive in a cold shower.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tyrande101:
But I've always swim this phone in pool or lakes but never in salted water. Sad to say, it went more worst.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
There's no moisture sensor on S7 but the phone can detect a short circuit in USB port which are assumed as wet port by software.

Probably some salt or some contamination still remain. My suggestion is to fully submerged your phone in clean water for awhile to clean out as much salt as possible.

Salt water is corrosive and conductive, it's the worst for any electronic including water resistance one. So the first thing you should do immediately after your phone is in contact with salt water is to clean it with clean water and be careful next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tyrande101:
Brilliant idea sir. How many minutes do you think I should submerge it? Also, should I put it in the rice grains after I wipe it to remove other moistures inside the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tyrande101:
Update as of 11:25am (Philippines Time) of 11/23/2016

I tried to submerge it in a mineral drinking water for almost 5 minutes and wiped it and buried it under a pile of rice grains. After 15 hours of waiting. I picked it up again, boot it and immediately I went to the "Voice Recorder" app and press the record button. (My brother is beside me playing Mobile Legend)

Here's an example of the outcome:

(Voice recording file inside the attached zip file)

And I charged it in the charger and the Moisture Detected dialogue box appears again.

Any suggestion?

Go to the service centre and clean ur phone with IP ( they oil like liquid they have ). Thats it after cleaning internal hardware for 10 mins rubbing it with a soft brush plug it to charge swtiching the mobile off. U r good to go (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tyrande101:
Usually the technicians here in the Philippines, assumes the motherboard as the faulty hardware if any hardware function is not working aside from the LCD and touchscreen. So do you think I should advise them that the only problem of the phone is cleaning and they should just clean the internal parts of the phone? And also, will it still be water-resistant even it has already been opened?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hardik190:
Yes just tell them to polish the hardware

The moisture warning persists because there are 2 papers inside the phone, when they get wet the moisture warning popsup. U drowned the phone in salty wster by which the moisture got on paper as some salty particles sitck outside and the inside water was still wet. The other hardware also get moisture if its not polished in 5 hours. The heat makes the salty water to dry and keep a micro layer on hardware which kills the functions.

The water restiance depends on how properly they pack the device. There is no way to stop enter the water gettinf inside the device . The phone is water resistant not water proof so dont dive with it. Good luck (y)
[Google Pixel Accessories] heelhook79:
I tried out the Cheotech Wireless Headphones today with my Pixel. I charged the headphones before testing and here is my review.

What comes in the box:

[IMG="What's inside!"]http://i.imgur.com/0xsQMAa.jpg[/IMG]

1x - headphone

1x - charging cord

2x - other sizes for your ears

1x - pair of extra ear hooks.

Pairing the device:

The first time you turn on the headphones it will go into pairing mode. After you've paired it and want to put it into pairing mode, simply hold down the power button wait for it to notify that the headphones are one, continue holding the button and it will tell you that it is ready to pair. The headphones will appear as BH-003

Setup:

The setup on the Nexus Pixel and this headphone was simple - once it was pairing mode, I turned my phone's bluetooth on and waited about 10seconds for the phone to find the headphones and it paired and was ready to go.

Sound:

I played a few different genres of music - house, rock, rap/r&b and have to say that the sounds is clear. You definitely hear the vocals clearly( I was even able to hear the talking from "Give it up" by Pepper). Another big thing I noticed is it really pumps out the base if you your song has any bit of base in it. Some may like that, others may not. Just know that it will bump it regardless. I'm not sure about the noise cancellation with these headphones. I tapped my desk while playing music and didn't hear anything but that was also the case when I used some Shure Noise Isolation earphones.

Build:

The original ear piece fit my ears ok so I don't have any complaints but I don't have particularly big or small ears. It took a little bit to get the proper placement into my ear but once it was in there was a nice seal and it held in place. It's very lightweight and it didn't fall out when I moved around - though I didn't go any running with them.The earphones are rubberized so I'm guessing it is will stand up to sweat.

Overall, I'd recommend these headphones for working out - the music is clear but heavy base. The cord won't get in the way of your running or lifting. It's also nice a lightweight so you don't really notice it too much aside form the cord.

Hello everyone , is there any thread here that gives direction on how to root, install kernel and install rom on s6 edge g925t running 6.0.1 , i also bought this phone second hand and unlocked, what if i start changing my rom would it affect the unlock? Or is it unlock before? Thanks!!

P.s not totally newbie, been modding phones before like the s4 and s2. Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KronoSpark:
Unlocking your phone doesn't change much

ROOT:

Get these files first: Samsung USB Drivers, TWRP, SuperSU, and ODIN (select version 3.12.3). Extract ODIN.

Next, make sure OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging is turned on in the developer settings (go to settings -> about device -> build number and tap it 7-8 times)

Boot your s6 egg into download mode by turning your phone off, and holding down power button + home button + volume down button. Plug your phone into your computer. Open up Odin, and put the TWRP tar file into AP. Press Start, and as soon as PASS shows up, your device should reboot.

Move the SuperSU zip onto your device, and then turn off your phone.

Now boot it into recovery (power+home+volume up and hold), and TWRP should load up. Select Install, and navigate to where you put the SuperSU file. Tap on it, and swipe to flash the file. After it runs through, reboot your phone by selecting reboot from the menu. It may boot several times, but you should be good to go. This root method works 95% of the time ( I used it and it's good)

If you want to flash a custom kernel and/or ROM, go to their respective XDA threads for specific instructions.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KronoSpark:
SIM Unlocks are specific to a device, not it's operating system. Flashing a custom ROM will not remove the SIM lock. You world have to either use the T-Mobile device unlock app or use another application to network unlock your device.

[Xperia Z3 General] Myself5:
Are you actually serious?

What do you think, why is there no thread for this already? Everyone I shared this link with I told its very early WIP, and not to share it.

I uploaded the builds so that I can download them to my laptop, and that some people who wanted a 7.1 build were able to use it.

While you even know that those are my builds, you did at no point think about sending a PM to me, asking if its ok to create a thread for it.

With that, I just deleted all prereleases of Carbon from my server, never ever expect me to release some preview or WIP builds again.

That does not only count for leo. Have fun being responsible for the deletion of all testbuilds for leo, aries, sumire and i9100.

[MENTION=3939612]caqo71[/MENTION] that assumption is wrong. CR-5.1 is the internal versioning number for Android 7.1 (same as CM is using 14.1). Those builds were Android 7.1.0_r7.

I reported the thread, hoping to get it closed, and I will reference it every time someone asks me where the preview builds did go to. Have a very fun time on XDA.

EDIT: In case it was unclear: I am not against you posting builds of Carbon on XDA, of cause the whole team invites people to compile Carbon for their devices. What I am sepecifically against here, is that, instead of putting your own effort in here, and compiling it on your own, you made a thread about my builds, which is totally not ok, especially not without asking me.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JohnnyDanger:
Hows it going everyone? Im in need of a new phone. Im using a Galaxy S5 right after I accidentally destroyed my S7 Edge. Im thinking about getting a Pixel, but have also started to consider the OnePlus 3, or 3T. I wanted to know if there is anyone who has experience with both the Pixel and the OnePlus 3 and to know if you would recommend one over the other. I think its going to come down to the software. Is the stock nougat software improved enough to justify the extra cost of the Pixel? Ive watched plenty of speed comparisons and read enough about features, but I really want to hear from some actual users about their experience with both devices if possible.

Any information would be so greatly appreciated.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] daleski75:
Personally speaking I would not but the OP3 as they are only producing the OP3T however having owned a OP3 until very recently here are the pro's and con's of each so far.

OP3 Pro's

Way better design imho

Dash charge is awesome

Pretty much stock OS (will come back to this)

OP3 Con's

They are merging in OOS and H20S and this means a LOT more bloatware designed for the asian market

After sales support very much hit and miss

Pixel Pro's

Stock Android with way faster updates

OK Google always on

Camera is way better

Pixel Con's

That design ughh

Bezels

Chins

Software and developer Support will likely be much better on Pixel, which means it's life will probably be extended much after the 2 years. I'm not even sure OP supporting their OP2 from last year.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] dermotti:
If you want an awesome camera, pixel. If you don't mind a sub par camera, go OnePlus.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
I've had the onelus3 for a while before getting the pixel.

[MENTION=1095206]daleski75[/MENTION] is correct, before the OOS and HOS merge I would have recommended the OnePlus. The dev scene is OK, but majority of the Roms are cyanogen based or stock based. Anything that's not based on stock HOS will suffer in the camera department. I know there are options but afaik, nothing matches stock OOS/HOS for camera capabilities.

Now, I would recommend the pixel purely for the dev support. The camera is amazing and will continue to be after a custom ROM. Plus if you get bored in a year the resale will still be good and oneplus3 will be dirt cheap.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] daleski75:
The camera in the OP3 is actually pretty good overall.

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Yup now that they are merging both os the biggest draw for me to the OP range has now gone.

And to add to this in my opinion CM is on the whole a giant hack for the OP and although stability overall is good it's buggy as hell.

So to the original poster if you want a phone which is guaranteed to get good support, fast updates and a awesome dev scene stick to the pixel range.

If price is a deciding factor then the 3T is a very good phone.
