[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] MrMoistWalrus:
Hey everyone,

I was just wondering what I need to do when i receive the device. I am in Australia and the phone might be the Chinese model.

So is there anything I have to do with the phone to make it usable as I've heard you need to flash on the global ROM.

How do I properly set up my device for use?

Thanks

Not easy.To flash the global version miui,you need to unblock your boolloader, then download the global package,and flash it with the miflash.But to unlock the bootloader,you need a mi account and make a Application.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sjgasca:
If you bought from a chinese-based online store, most likely your device has a fake ROM. To get rid of that ROM, you need to unlock bootloader. No matter if you want to flash an official ROM or unofficial xiaomi.eu. You can try to change ROM with MIUI Updater app, but most probably it will not work from a fake ROM.

To unlock bootloader you need at least a couple of things: a xiaomi account you can create here Mi Account -> account.xiaomi.com

After you create your MI account you need to request unlock here MI Unlock en.miui.com/unlock and wait several days to be approved for unlocking. In my case it took 4 or 5 days before I received an SMS of approval.

Then download MI Unlock app (Windows) and search a manual for unlocking device (you need to activate developer options).

In order to unlock bootloader you need a Chinese ROM (stable or dev) but If I'm not wrong all 'fake' devices come with a chinese-based ROM, otherwise wouldn't be a fake ROM?

After you achieve unlocking you can flash any ROM, Global or China, unofficial like xiaomi.eu, etc..

Flash global rom without unlocking bootloader

There is a way to flash global rom without unlocking bootloader using special USB cable that you can make yourself if you still want to do so i'll gladly show you how I did with my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] achickennugget:
If you are tired and irked by MIUI, I would strongly recommend you to quickly apply for Bootloader unlocking permission on the official Miui site. Afterwards, unlock your bootloader and install official TWRP recovery and a ROM of your choice such as CM14.1. That way, you will be able to experience the true "openess" and magic of Android! :p

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Phyo Nyi Nyi:
no need to unlock bootloader.

Xiaomi flash ROM came with 2 method.

you can flash not only from fastboot mode ( bootloader mode ) but also from edl mode ( QDloader 9008 mode ).

- fastboot method need to unlock bootloader.

- EDL method not need to unlock bootloader .

EDL method even can unlock bootloader with unofficial method
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] GIR385:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

MetroPCS

Model: SM-G360T1

ROM and Kernal: Stock

Issue: Touchscreen doesn't work in TWRP.

Links:

Where I got TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/coreprimelte/

The guide I followed: http://www.android.gs/install-twrp-recovery-v3-0-0-on-samsung-galaxy-core-prime/

I got this phone from a friend. I tried to install TWRP via ODIN, but I've had some trouble. Initially, when I installed TWRP it didn't appear after I rebooted the phone. After doing some research, I found that this is normal for stock ROM's, and that they tend to replace any custom recovery with the stock one. I learned that in order to access TWRP, I need to remove the batter before rebooting, and then reboot directly into TWRP without letting the OS see the light of day. But when I get to TWRP, the touchscreen breaks. I can't interact with anything. I can still boot into the operating system just fine, but doing so removes the recovery, and I can't interact with TWRP outside of locking it by using the power button. I think this issue could be solved by installing a custom ROM, but I don't know if that's even possible without TWRP. This seems to be a loop of nothing, never going anywhere.

All I need is for the touchscreen to work in TWRP, I can handle the rest from there. Thank you for any help, and Happy Holidays!

Edit: After further research, I've discovered that the problem could lay in the recovery I'm using. I'm trying to install the latest TWRP version found in the link above, but I've tried almost all of them. Is there any information on any specific version of TWRP I should use?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khalid2882:
Hi

I have a rooted Galaxy note 5 phone SM-N920C model.

Some water got into my phone and i had to take it to a phone shop to get it fixed its was working fine after the water damage but the power button had to be pressed hard to work.

the repair guy told me he had to replace several some parts i think some cpus.

After i got my phone my sim would work and then randomly stop working and i couldn't make calls nor will mobile data work. Then randomly it would work again and stop randomly.

i tried my sim in another phone and it was working fine, even tried my friend's in my phone and it had the same problem.

An important thing that i found is that the model in my device info has changed from SM-N920C to SM-G935T Aka Samasung S7 Edge.

Do i have to change my rom to a S7 Edge one, or should i change the kernel ? Need help guys :P

Thank you for reading

I am trying to migrate from my Nexus 9 to this new tablet. I tried all the options and there's no automatic restore kicking in.

I have tried

Set up near-by device

Just sigining in with my google account and there's no prompt to restore from backup.

There's no restore option under google in setting either

Does this tablet not support this basic Android feature.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGeekyNimrod:
Symptoms: I can receive and send regular SMS just fine. Calls 100% , Quality is what it should be up here in the mountains. However MMS messages I can receive but I can't send them including group messages that come in as MMS.

Rrcently took the phone back bone stock. Full firmware flash of the latest out on the web site. It started working so I flashed Cyanide with stock kernel and it was working. Flashed my favorite kernel and then the issue happened again. So back to stock and it's only hit and miss if i can send.

Would this be a hardware issue? Software issue? Bad network in my area? When I get it working it will sometimes stop doing it until I reflash the stock kernel. I'm trying to get pointed in the right direction to figure out why

Then I can fix it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This will be hard to figure out as many things can effect it. The flashing I think has less to do with it then the act of it rebooting. Forcing a reconnect to the network could be what is causing it to work for a while. I would run a logcat and see if it picks something up.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] g4ry12:
Do you have Fire HD 8 6th Generation (2016)? Do you want it rooted? Request it then!

This is how to do it:

1) Download KingRoot. The version for PC is Chinese only. For English, get APK file. Very detailed instructions are here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 . Download APK file directly to the device for easier installation.

2) Install KingRoot. Can be done by tapping the APK file on the device. Watch for error message: "Installation blocked". Tap "More details", then tap "Install anyway (unsafe)".

3) Run KingRoot. Tap "Try it" button, let it work. Then tap "Try Root", and let it work again. There will be "Failed to Root" message after that. You will also see how many requests to root have already been received. Please note it down. We need more!

4) Request root for your device! Tap "Submit request" link at the bottom of the app. This will add your vote, and hopefully will help getting root faster.

5) Post below when you did it, to encourage other people to do the same. Please also post the current number of requests, to help keep track of our progress.

Do it now!

All the above is very easy to do, and should take 5-10 minutes tops. If everyone coming here for root does that, the chances are we will get KingRoot's attention and actually get root.

P.S. Big thank you goes to Ayredfr for the idea: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70198709&postcount=109 .

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] jadephyre:
The amount of votes only has the impact of determining if there is any interest in root. When they actually decide to do it nobody can tell how long it will take to actually achieve root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] g4ry12:
I am not aware of a special threshold that guarantees rooting. But if you'd be a manager at KingRoot, would you put your company's resources into a device that got just 50 requests? Or 100 requests? Probably not. So the answer to "how many" is: the more, the better! Everyone coming here for root should make a request.

Requesting root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] larsiusprime:
Hey! I would like this too. So I just ran the app, tried root, failed, and then clicked the "request root" thing -- I guess that adds my vote to a total to signify that there's demand for a root for this device?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] g4ry12:
Yes, it does add your vote. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] g4ry12:
You are looking at the number inside the big circle probably. It is not the total number of requests (and I am not sure what it is, maybe just your vote). The total number of request can be seen after trying to root. Right under "Root failed" message it says: "XX requests received". This number does not appear if you run "Try root" again. But it did appear to me when I installed a newer version of KingRoot.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MapTap:
I've always felt uneasy about "one click root" software, this just reinforces it for me. Why does it need to flow internet traffic to unknown servers to keep the root active?at all times?Why so many permissions?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] g4ry12:
Thanks! I saw 46 requests on December 26, 2016. So it definitely should be more than that now, judging even from responses in this thread. Maybe KingRoot employs some heavy caching of that data.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bonacker:
I got a Fire HD8, 6th Gen. around Christmas. It was on 5.3.1.0. I haven't turned on WiFi, because I think 5.3.1.0 may be a good version for rooting. The Fire 7" 5th gen. is supposed to be able to be rooted if the device is on 5.3.1.0.

I would like to know if the HD8 6th gen and 7" 5th gen. are identical for rooting/ downgrading etc. if they are running the exact same firmware.

When I read the YouTube comments for the several of Rootjunky's rooting vids for the 7" 5th gen., I see so may rooting failures and brickings that I am very hesitant to try anything. I can't decide whether the high rate of failures in those YT comments are due to many of the would be rooters not knowing much about what they're doing or whether Rootjunky's "supertool" is flawed and dangerous.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chemie99:
Rootjunky's supertool works for 7" and only 7" for rooting (some of the other things sometimes work of other devices). For example, I rooted a 7" with 5.3.1 this Dec using his tool (however, I think think the newer firmware is no longer rootable)

The 2015 HD8 is rootable on some firmware versions.

As of this Saturday, using a different method than rootjunky, you can root the 2016 HG8"/10" on 5.3.1 and 5.3.1.1.

If you know what you are doing, little risk. If you don't you can brick. Most bricks happen by downgrading too far.

For me, rooting 7" was needed to run Link2SD which you need since it only has 8GB.

The 8" had 16GB so less of an issue but I hated the firelauncher and the work arounds were clunky. Both are now rooted. One with custom ROM and one with OTA disabled and nova launcher, titanium backup and Link2SD all running with root access.
