[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
Hello!

I could not find any other threads related to this issue, so my apologies if this is a "duplicate" thread

So I found my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Model GT-P5113 in Samsung ROM, identified as Galaxy Tab 2 in CyanogenMod) in a cabinet doing nothing, so I thought I would flash CyanogenMod on it and get some use out of it. And so I did; I flashed the nightly build of CM 13 in the "espresso wifi" image. Now, that worked just fine, but when I tried to flash open gapps (open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161217.zip to be exact), I got some sort of boot loop; the device starts and gets into the App Preparer thing (pardon my ignorance) and begins preparing the google apps, and once it does all 16 apps, it starts preparing some other cyanogen mod apps, or at least I believe they are cyanogen mod apps, and then the app preparer just closes, and the boot animation restarts. If I wait long enough, it will once again get to the app preparer and begin flashing 2 apps, I could not see the first one, and the 2nd was the Google app. It would then begin flashing the cyanogen mod apps and then it would close, and the cycle would restart. I flashed Gapps right after flashing cyanogenmod; I did NOT boot into the rom upon installing open gapps. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I will provide more information if it is needed. All help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
You should only flash gapps RIGHT AFTER you flash CM13. If you flashed it after Cm13 boots up, you will face some issues. (Like bootloops, force closes, etc)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
Hi, Lightracer, thanks for the reply! I did not boot up the tablet after installing CyanogenMod; however the same result occurs whether I flash it with or without a boot up in between (I needed to reflash CM multiple times)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
What recovery are you using? Are you sure you're flashig the right opengapps package? (6.0 nano/pico work just fine)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
Yes, I am using the right package; arm 6.0 nano with TWRP recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
What happens if you let it complete rebuilding the ART cache (app preparer)? Does it do that everytime? Also, did you do a clean flash? (Wiping System, data, cache, art cache, and then flashing the rom? I never had issues like that with installing gapps :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smart-t78:
which version of twrp??
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
TWRP version 2.8.5.0 (I apologize, I would have said this in the above post, however, I was not home at the time so I was unsure)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
I think I wiped it, however, I may have not wiped everything that was required. I will try this and post back.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smart-t78:
thats the cause of your problem. wrong twrp version. go to andi34.github.io and download the latest common twrp (3.0.2-8). choose the zip. you can install it with your current twrp. then reboot back into recovery and reinstall rom and gapps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
That worked, thanks! I was initially following CyanogenMod's guide for the specific Galaxy Tab 2 Models (P5100,P5110/P5113), which included older CM images and the older TWRP, but flashed the espresso wifi image upon realizing that the guide was out of date. Also, the newest version of TWRP I could find for the Galaxy Tab 2 was version 3.0.0.0, but it still worked fine.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightracer:
You could download the common twrp which works for every samsung galaxy tab 2 model. The newest version is 3.0.2-8 which is found on andi34.github.io under recoveries. This could be useful if you want to flash newer roms.

Can you tell me how to do that? I'm not rooting my phone doh
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Well, you have different ways to do that with the stock rom:

-temp root with adb (never tried, requires modified boot img)

-flahing it by a custom recovery

-root your phone ?

Also, can you try Nova Launcher? They have pixel like features and works great for me.

[XDA Assist] newxdev:
Hello, I am in a bootloop root soup ! I have an LG G2/ATT - currently out of warranty.

Day 1) I successfully rooted with Kingroot and then was able to connect via ADB after several attempts. :fingers-crossed:

Day 2) Then I lost my user interface on the mobile - don't know why.

Day 4) At least until today I was able to connect via ADB to navigate and to uninstall apps in the last few days or find a way to getback my data. However the uninstall didn't work. Now suddenly I lost ADB as it seems to have lost its key - and connects as unauthorized.

Can somebody help either to

A) Get my mobile user interface i.e. remove bootloop as it seems to be called

B) Get back ADB - I want to be able to backup some of the apps data if I can - especially my calendar and some notes that I kept adding to.

Thanks
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Greetings and welcome to assist. I'd try the obvious first like different usb cable and different port then maybe try sp flashtools to see if that works

Good Luck

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garnerlogan65:
So I'm not sure what the **** happened, but my 6p decided to brick itself after the latest update. It's essentially in a perpetual bootloop. When it does manage to boot up, it bootloops again a few seconds later. I tried reflashing 7.1.1 and 7.0 multiple times. Nothing worked. It's running completely stock software, so I'm not sure what exactly could be the problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Either way, I haven't had good luck this year with tech... Galaxy Note 7, EVGA GTX 1080, and now a bricked 6p... I think I may have a curse or something.

This is a known bug. Happened to me a month ago. I decided to ditch the Nexus 6p and get an LG V20. I called Huawei and they were going to do an RMA at no cost but the fact that I opened my phone to check if the power button wasn't the cause of the bootloop they said the warranty was voided. They wouldn't let me pay cash for any repairs.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedmayhem:
Let me tell you my story and somehow my Nexus is working again. I'm now one my 1+3 though. So I was enrolled in the beta program. Bootloader unlocked, stock recovery. When I updated to dp2, twice my device rebooted and got stock at the Google logo. No access to recovery only bootloader. Then the next day literally, the OTA for final 7.1.1 was released. I decided to sideload the OTA. Magically, my Nexus came back to life. This would be short lived. About 48 hrs later. I was in the camera, and bamm, it froze then boot loop from hell. My Nexus was in the same pickle as dp2. After researching online, no fix. I was on my new phone and figured it was a goner. I left it charging constantly and would never turn on. Then the full image came out. Figured I'd try it out. Flashed it to no avail. Still stuck. Again I wrote it off upset but life goes on. 2 nights ago when I could not sleep, I had a strange idea. Lemme flash back to 7.0. so I downloaded the image from Google and flashed it. Same result. I then had an appifany, now your mileage may vary, I realized I had been charging my Nexus with my 1+3 dash charger. I switched it to the stock brick I have plugged in elsewhere. It was still bootlooping but I left it plugged in. Yesterday morning when I awoke, I noticed something different, my Nexus was on the charging screen when the unit is turned off, hence showing the battery logo @ 100%. I then held my power button and lo and behold, it turned on and greeted me to 7.0 setup. I nearly **** the bed. I skipped most the setup as I didn't care. Set up my wifi, and it went to the home screen. Instantly popped up with an OTA to final 7.1.1. So I proceeded to download it. Now I didn't recheck my phone untill I got back from work, but when I did, my phone was still on, OTA downloaded and ready for install, a little over 600 meg update. Before going to bed, I hit restart and upgrade. It when through the update without a hitch. My phone has been. Working for 24hrs, no crashs or bootloops. Fingers crossed this does not reoccur but my Nexus thus far is fully running with no reoccurrence. I wonder if this issue has something to do with what it's plugged into. I have no explanation as to why or how but that's what I'm pointing my finger at as not every USB c power brick and cable is made equal. Maybe a fluke, it may rebrick itself , but for now it's back in action sitting on the sideline. I will update if it rebricks itself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fapste:
Dude this is really interesting. I am therefore holding off of updating to 7.1.1 and still using 6.0.1. Although 7.1.1 is very tempting to me. Keep us posted regarding your Nexus 6p's bootloop and workings on this thread please

Wow alot of people are having issue with the 6p... Google need to fix things asap
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedmayhem:
Update:. 12/28. 0212 hrs. Even though I'm using my 1+3 as my daily driver, my 6p still works. No bootloops, random reboots, or freezing in os. Tested with calling, SMS, camera, downloads, etc. Haven't modified or flashed anything since, but then again I prefer stock nowadays. Can't say I'm not surprised although.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leondestiny:
so many people encountering issues and bricks by updating from stock M i guess? to Nougat.

i have never once had an issue downgrading back to MM and upgrading back to Nougat, because of custom roms i guess?

i am not a stock'ish guy.

but i know there are many who just want the phone as it is, no mods etc.

Hi, I know there are several threads and I'm pretty sure I'm screwed but I just wanted to check with you all before I wipe all my memories :

- OnePlus One unrooted

- Enabled the pattern lock screen yesterday, and dk if I'm stupid or what but it won't recognize the pattern today (it's probably me - anyway result is the same)

Attempts :

- Google Android Device Manager, no use (tells me that there is already a lock screen so it can't switch to password lock)

- adb won't recognize the phone cause nothing is enabled on it (developer mode or whatever)

- phone is recognized on fastboot but, well, since it's unrooted, I don't think I can do much

Can I say bye bye to my data?

Thanks!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabrefresco:
Yes. This would be the perfect time to unlock the bootloader and put a custom recovery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instant5:
OK so from what I understand unlocking the bootloader would wipe the data right? I'm seeing recovery tools that scan the phone in order to find deleted files. Does the wipe data clears everything or would that make sense to do something like this and try to recover what I can :

- unlock bootloader

- install custom recovery

- find a way to enable USB debugging for the recovery tool (ie, if possible, not install a full system in order not to overwrite recoverable files) : is that possible with a custom recovery?

- run the recovery tool

Is there a step that doesn't make sense?

Hi all - great forum. Hoping to be around for good while soaking it all up.

:)

I'm a new owner of an SPVM5000. Loving it with Opera and running it on WiFi with Terminal Services.

Proper happy with it - but, I want to get TomTom working on it.

I've downloaded all manner of pirate copies/maps etc, simply because I don't know if it works and wanted to try it first - and more specifically, know which version to buy..

I mean, once I know what works, I'll go and buy the thing from somewhere but, as yet, I can't get it working. Am I missing something glaringly obvious? I keep getting a "No Maps Found" error.

Anyway, Google tells me this is doable and I'm not looking for piracy tips, just a nod as to what version will work and perhaps the cheapest place to get it from if there's anywhere else than TomTom's naff site.

Ideally, I'd love to chuck some credit card details somewhere and get a legit download for it that I can put onto the SD card and away we go, but I think I might be pushing it - it's all boxed goods I think?

Any help for one of your older members, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] diegodargo:
Hello there,

I have Navigator version 6 running very successfully on my SPVM5000.

A couple of things to check.

1. Is your memory card inserted? tomtom needs this, as the maps will be stored on it.

2. The maps are stored in a folder on the root level of the storage card.

The name of the folder depends on what geographical version you have.

Being in the UK my folder is Western_Europe. Inside the folder you are looking for 3 files. cline.dat, cname.dat and cnode.dat. They are the map files. If they are not there you have been given no maps!!

Hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
Hi - thanks for the reply.

I've followed the guide on here to change the registry for the GPS options and now if you say TT6 works, I can go with that. I had read TT5 is quicker so that's an option too I guess.

Yeah, the maps have the filenames you mention there and they were on the root of the storage card in a folder named Great-Britain-Map

Cheers.

I've recently tried to update my radio and bootloader to the latest versions, i was on a custom rom (7.1.1), I've updated the bootloader and radio via fastboot and wiped the cache then rebooted then my phone was stuck in a never ending boot and all is saw was the boot animation, i decided to reboot the phone so i held the power button until it restarted and to avail, the same thing happened. I rebooted to twrp and tried to wipe the cache and dalvik/ART cache and i got an error that it cannot be mounted and the partition size was at 0mb and twrp could not repair it either, and it could not format any of my partitions, so i tried to return to stock and i tried to flash the images from the stock .zip provided by google and it said that it could not load any images. I can access download mode and twrp, any solutions? (someone said to flash the vendor image after flashing both the radio and bootloader images? could that have cause my problem because it did not flash it?

i was on the latest vendor already)

thanks.

EDIT: after continuously trying to wipe the cache & dalvik/ART cache in twrp it worked and it recognized the partitions and it wiped and my device was able to boot, i'm not sure what caused the problem but it boots properly now, although i'm not sure if i can flash in fastboot again, otherwise it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
DISCLAIMER​

I am not responsible for any damage done to your device. The following guide is to be used at your discretion, you are taking the risk of rendering your phone unusable. It is also advised to Factory Reset while following this guide, so backup, backup, backup! Only attempt if you are confident in doing so!​

Marshmallow to Lollipop​

A recent development has allowed us to root the G900A/G870A on 5.1.1., which you can find here. There is a guide for G900A users to downgrade from 6.0 to 5.0, but I wanted to provide a guide for Active users to do the same. Once you have downgraded to 5.0, you can root using this new method, or update to 5.1.1 and root. I was regretting my upgrade to MM, it wasn't worth the cost of root and custom roms, so this was exactly what I needed to love this phone again. Now, on to the guide.​

Step 1

Download the necessary files using the following links:

G870A OF3 ODIN TARBALL

ODIN 3.11

Step 2

I will make the assumption you have the Samsung USB Drivers installed and can see your phone in File Explorer. Extract both of the downloaded files wherever you'd like, you'll have an Odin folder, and four files from the tarball: BL, AP, CP, and CSC files. Put them in their own folder, just to avoid any mistakes with flashing. Run Odin as Admin and you'll see 4 slots, which you'll fill with the 4 tar.md5 files you just extracted. You'll load the tar files into their appropriate slots, IE AP_* into the AP slot, and you will encounter delays as Odin reads and verifies the files.

Step 3

As a precaution, it's recommended to have your phone charged to at least 75%. Now to restart the phone into Download Mode, you do so by powering off the phone, then power on the phone holding the Volume Down + Home keys. Once in download mode, hook the phone up to your USB cable attached to your PC. (Most failed ODIN flashes are due to USB cables, you may need to try a few)

Step 4

Go back to Odin and you should see your phone show up in COM box. Once you've verified that the phone is showing up, verify that you have all of the tar files loaded into the appropriate slots, and push Start. You'll see the progress as each file is flashed, look for any error messages. Once everything is flashed, your phone should reboot and you'll see a green pass. At this point, I recommend doing a battery pull or hold down Volume Down + Home + Power keys until the phone reboots. Once it shuts off, immediately hold down Volume Up + Home to boot into recovery. Now just do a quick factory reset, wipe the cache, and reboot. You should now be back to OF3, you can verify this in recovery, or by going to About Device under Settings, under baseband it should read G870AUCU2BOF3.

Step 5

At this point, you can use the previously mentioned guide to obtain root. If interested, once you have root you can head over to the Unofficial List of Roms and use FlashFire to flash a shiny new rom.

I'd just like to thank @AptLogic for his contributions, as well as @719c6 for finding the OF3 tarballs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
The lowest you can downgrade to is OF3, which you can do by following the guide. The OF3 firmware uses the same bootloader as MM, so we were able to downgrade, NE4 uses an older bootloader, and we are not able to downgrade bootloaders.

Sorry.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
It was linked in the OP, but it's in this thread. Apparently, they're having an issue getting it to root now, so if you get it to root, report feedback on the thread and make sure to keep it. I was lucky enough to downgrade, root, and flash my favorite rom, Xtrestolite. Finally have my phone running nice and smooth again, I won't be jeopardizing my root on this phone anymore.

Good luck!
