I have a G4 Wizard which is stuck in Bootloader mode (i.e. the multi-colored screen).

No matter what ROM I flash onto the unit, it always reboots back into Bootloader mode. I have tried a variety of ROMS including Wizard_Love, and vanilla WM5 and WM6 ROMS.

About three days before this occurred, I had flashed TNT.1933 (Professional + HTC Home) ROM onto the unit. About three days of running TNT I noticed that the cellular radio levels were starting to act up. So I reflashed Wizard_Love with the intention of subsequently reflashing TNT on top of Wizard_Love (this is how I have always performed flashes, by layering the intended flash onto Wizard_Love, and I've never had any problems). Well, this time as soon as Wizard_love had successfully flashed (according to the update utility), my Wizard got stuck in Bootloader mode. It's been stuck since.

I've since tried re-flashing a number of ROMs with no success. The Update utility says that the flashing is successful and there are never any errors, but the Wizard itself always reboots into the multi-color Bootloader screen. I simply cannot bypass this screen.

Any HELP would be appreciated. At this time my Wizard is unusable. And, I really miss it!

Have you tried a hard reset?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xda_student:
Yes, I've tried several hard and soft resets. It still gets stuck at the multi-colored Bootloader screen.

I have had this same probllem with my 8525 atleat 4 to 5 times. The only thing that worked for me was to download the most recent flash for my phone from my carrier. At that point no more problems, I can then flash any ROM I want from there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xda_student:
Thanks, I thought of that as well. The phone is a T-Mobile (US). Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a copy of the original ROM. The ROM is no longer available on XDA-Developers FTP server and both the forum and wiki links are broken. Also, I can't get it off the T-Mobile web site since it asks me for a T-Mobile phone number, which I do not have. Here's the T-Mobile download page:

http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/

Does anyone have an alternate download address for original T-Mobile ROM? Of can someone with a T-Mobile phone number download the file for me. Thanks.

URGENTLY looking for a copy of the original T-Mobile (US) ROM - either WM5 or WM6. I'm stuck in Bootloader mode and I'm advised that reloading the original ROM might revive my Wizard.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mflammger:
I sold a nexus 6p online. I shipped it out to the buyer. He received it and he is unable to sign into his account on the phone. It is telling him that it's still attached to my account. I was wondering if there was a way to remotely delete my account so the buyer and sign into it with his account.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FanDroid09:
Search google for FRP (factory reset protection).

As far as I know there is no way to do it remotely. I think you should have signed out of your google account before you reset the phone. Most likely he will have to ship it back to you so you can sign in and then remove your account.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theleet:
Here: https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1

But I'm not sure how that will affect the device.

You could always change your password to something stupid for a few seconds for him to sign in and sign out depends how sensitive data you have on your account..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mflammger:
Will Android device manager do it? Will it remotely wipe the phone and remove my account from it, or will it flag the phone as stolen. I cannot get any solid information from repeated Google searches as to what happens after the device is remote wiped.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theleet:
Android Manager will wipe the device but when it turns on it will ask for any Google account it was bound to before wipe. The other person needs to enter your Gmail account, then his, then you can either change password to your account or wipe it with Device Manager and next time it boots it will accept your account or his (because both were added before wipe).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsmith:
You can always set a temporary password to your Google account, send it to the buyer and have him log in with his account. After that, you change your password back and voilà.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangala_Dharma:
Is all of this a working protection against simply Fastboot unlocking bootloader, flashing stock image then rebooting into a working phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FanDroid09:
If the bootloader is currently locked, I believe you would have to go into developer options to enable the OEM unlocking setting... Which you can't get to because of the FRP.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theleet:
Unlocking bootloader (OEM unlocking in dev options) deactivates this protection but to do it you still need to get in there somehow and you can't without first logging into a Google account it is currently bound to. And as you probably know without unlocked bootloader you can't flash anything.

And even if he could flash new ROM my friend had bought used Samsung S7 Edge and previous owner also left it locked. You can flash different ROMs with S7 Edge out of the box but the FRP survived several attempts at flashing stock/custom ROMs. We had to use the workaround found here at xda S7 forums.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mflammger:
Thanks for all the info.

I did not unlock the bootloader on the phone. I read a little bit about Factory Reset Protection and the only way around it was to sign in to the phone and then remove your account from the phone. It's something that was new this year for Android devices and I was just unaware of it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatsandmelody:
It's actually been around awhile, just not widely implemented. If you remember which monthly security update you last installed, he might be able to get around it. YouTuber root ninja has some videos depending on patch. The one I watched just for kicks (since I'd like my 6P to be protected if lost) was a few months old though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
I heard that with a simple factory reset with the stock recovery should remove the account from the phone.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _nick_bruce_:
So I've been having a lot of trouble with my Z5 Premium, one of the biggest problems is randomly not being able to watch videos on any type of internet service, such as YouTube, Netflix, hulu, HBO Go, Facebook, and Snapchat. This includes GIFs too. I have to restart my phone constantly to get videos to work properly. While on YouTube I can either watch 1 or 7 videos, then it will stop randomly and say "video can't play, Tap to retry". This is an unlocked phone being used in the USA and I have not been able to update operating system or anything else.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echma:
Hello!

I have a huge battery problem with my Note 5... I flashed a lot of roms to see if anything changes but it doesn't... I always get max. 3hours of screen on time. Even after installing xposed for amplify and greenify but it doesn't make any difference. In the battdry settings i always get this Android OS bug which is very high. But it doesn't go away with the latest SuperSU or disabling a lot of things in the settings (googled this Android OS bug) I even replaced the battery but it didn't help at all... I'm really desperate...

Perhaps one of you has a solution, that would be fu******* awesome!

Thank you

1 torch not working properly

2 camera often shows error but works perfectly

Though these are not such a problem which should be makes panic but for user satisfaction these are minor bugs which could be neglected.

[Android Auto General] Need4Camaro:
So I have a bricked Soft Touch Android HU. The LCD / Buttons and such all work fine. Of course, so does the case. This made me start wondering. Is it possible to take an Android Head Unit, remove the systemboard and components, replace with an ODroid and connect the Headunit's LCD / Touchboard and Soft Touch Buttons to the ODroid some how? The one thing that concerns me is that these components are connected by a serial cable to the system board and the ODroid needs USB for touch and HDMI for display. Is there a way to convert this from the Serial to HDMI / USB for Display and Touch from the Head Unit or are these screens and fascias made propietary to the system they service?

Also I know I would need a mini amp. Would it be possible to use the same wiring harness and connectors at the back of the case to power and transfer audio to the speakers or would something else need to be constructed?
[Android Auto General] doitright:
Possible? Yes.

Easy? No. In fact, you will need to manufacture some custom components, and these custom components will be VERY sensitive to things like resistance. In other words, the soldering job will have to be done by machine.

Why?

For those who want to free up memory or don't use it I would think. I frankly don't use sheath and have it deleted on my rooted phone. If I could remove it from the watch I would too
[Samsung Gear S3] mrdiggz:
Why not? Shouldn't pretty much every app on a device have an option to disable them if you do not need it?

I just don't use S Health. I know it's a good fitness app but I'd like to turn it off completely if possible, and enable it if needed.

Ha, you don't have to race a Ferrari to go fast? But, I guess you trying to say you can buy a Ferrari and not drive it fast? Doesn't make sense, but it's your money and you can do whatever you want.

[Samsung Gear S3] arf8:
you missed the whole point... oh well
[Samsung Gear S3] DaveC1964:
I find it quite annoying these days how manufacturers of these devices including phones force you to have apps you don't want. It is like you really don't own it, they just let you use it, as long as you use it the way THEY want. I can see including by default but if a user doesn't want the app why are they forced to have it anyway? The attitude is kind of like "we know better than you what you want". All apps should be removable within reason (you shouldn't be able to remove things so much as to brick the device obviously). All of these apps could be made available on the store so if you change your mind in the future and want a deleted app back, just download it. I would nix probably 1/2 of the crap they pre-load on these things if I could. Not only would that free up storage but also increase battery life too (not only do they force you to have these things, but they also insist on running them in the background too even if you never use them).

This is a pretty big issue on a device like this with limited memory and battery life. Why eat up valuable storage with things you don't want and not have room for the things you do want? The S3 is so loaded with bloat that out of 4GB of storage you really only have 1.5GB left for what you actually want. That is terrible. I guess we are all to stupid to know what we want, thankfully Samsung is so much smarter than us and they save us from ourselves.
[Samsung Gear S3] smoluse:
agreed. I would also like to remove s-health completely!
[Samsung Gear S3] biggboii:
Any way to remove this crap yet? It's actually recording data and uses battery and I haven't given it permission to.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nujackk:
You need 3 apps installed in order for it to work.

Open gear app scroll down to "About Samsung Gear" app and after you click on it should show 3 apps with version numbers under them and check Button next to them.

Samsung gear, Gear S Plugin, Samsung Accessory Service. If there are no version numbers under them means they are not installed the first is your gear app so obviously installed other 2 are not installed by default so click the check button and that should eventually give you a prompt to install.

if not you need to look for them in the Store. Get the Accessory service first and it should download and install the plugin for you.

Hope that helps.

I have the same issue with my Gear S3. In the power manager I have turned off everything for Samsung Gear. However the other two apps required (Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service) is not listed in the power manager settings. So these seems to get killed when the screen is off.

Hi,

I may have found a possible solution to the problem! It's still not perfect but I managed to successfully have my Fit2 connected to the Axon 7 for over a day (rather than a few minutes).

In Developer Options (Advanced Settings > Developer Options – making sure it's enabled first) set the 'Background process limit' to 'At Most, 4 processes' rather than auto. It appears the auto setting doesn’t handle as many background processes as the maximum, which is why the Fit2 disconnects suddenly. Sadly, it may still disconnect after day or so but it’s a much better compromise compared what I had before.

Hello all

I'm was impatient today and wanted to install nougat firmware on my nordic xperia xz but i came across an error that I wanted to discuss with you guys.

Let me explain:

I've used XperiFirm to download F8331_Customized AU_1305-1859_39.2.A.0.327_R2C. Firmware has been downloaded successfully and files have been unpacked automatically.

Then I used the Flashtool to create ftf ( had to use CREATE instead of FILESET decrypt) which also went fine and with out issues.

Then I went further to flash the device (used simulate just incase) and almost at the end it produced error that looks like this:
