dead4ngel - to permanently fix it, just Odin the stock firmware

Others - I wasn't clear in how to prepare the SD card.

To prepare it properly you image the SD card with the debrick image file. This has to be on a 32+ GB SD card. (On a Linux machine where your in the folder with debrick-n910p.img is located and your SD card is /dev/sdx the command is dd if=debrick-n910p of=/dev/sdx)

You then put it in your phone, boot to download mode (it may take a few tries), then Odin a stock rom (PH1 or PK1 only) which MUST contain the bootloader

After this you don't need have the SD card be prepared like this, your bootloader will be fixed
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PPC6850RR:
:good: Again thanks a lot for debrick.img it worked, you saved my butt!

Here is what I did to make it come alive, it did take couple trial and errors on my part.

Warning DO NOT copy & paste image file directly onto sdcard, it wont work!

Instead use the diskimage win32 software that was mentioned in Debrick thread before.

I used it to unpack and write file from debrick.img onto 16GB sdcard (only one I have) using that little piece of software.

I plugged in sdcard + battery, than pressed power button and phone came back to LIVE:angel:

Now it is back in my original KitKat Rom v4.4.4 still booted from sdcard, I was able to transfer all my documents and photos to my PC, thank God!

Ps screen got very hot again while it tried to run another software update, I killed it with task manager and turned off Data+WiFi radios for now, until I re-Flash from Odin!

Now for next step to flash new ROM using Odin, do I have to flash original KitKat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.11 recovery or can I just flash stock Marshmallow 6.11?

Is there stock Sprint+rooted+De-Odexed Marshmallow 6.11 version I can safely flash?

Do I need to root again each new ROM?

Guys I need help,

I have a working N910P and tried upgrading my OG5 to OK1 via Odin, but while flashing an error has occurred, I've tried reflashing again, yet it showed the same error, when I open it, it only shows download mode so I tried flashing it back to OG5 stock rom, yet it showed missing PIT file, found a pit file for N910P online and tried flashing it, but an error occurred again and after that the phone was hard bricked no lights, no charge, no vibrate, etc.

I've tried everything online nothing worked but then I found this debrick method, I followed it carefully using a 32GB Class 10 Samsung SD card, it seems to have an effect on the phone because when I press Power+Volume Down+Home for 7 to 15 seconds it vibrates for a split second but shows no display whatsoever, can you guys help me, I'm really lost on how will to fix my Phone, any help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

edit: fixed everything :) only problem left is that it freezes when it heats up and crashes, and it is required to be put in the freezer in able for it to function again

HI sorry for the delayed response, have you tried refrigerating your device? Then flash using Odin?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtccomputec@gmail.com:
I get it

Hi linkerMed I got in download mode but now my new problem is different now, before it was because the battery was dead no charge I use an external charger and now the battery respond, I have this video from another person has a same phone like mine but from different carrier, what you see on this video it is my problem now I can't flash anything, right now I'm looking for an answer on how I can get out of this.

to see the video you have to put "https://" before youtube...

If you have something I'll very appreciate.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkerMed:
Hi, here's what I did,

First I've put it in the freezer for probably 10 minutes.

After that. Wiped it and charged it until full, it's most likely that it will charge.

After charging. Put it in the freezer for a longer period of time. I've put mine probably for an hour.

While the phone is in the freezer. Prepare your Odin. (insert the rom ETC) because it takes time to put the rom in Odin.

Immediately after an hour. Wipe and put the phone in download mode. Plug and flash as soon as possible. Because it has problems when the device heats up, (flashing stops etc)

After that. Here's the sad part, you have to put it in the freezer again after flashing. Meaning. It's a permanent damage. (for me it was) so the phone would freeze sometimes crash. Making it extremely unstable. So. Everytime the phone shuts down. You need to refrigerate it for 15 to 20 minutes until it boots again. Making it very inconvenient.

I've flashed different custom roms. But what worked was Dr. Ketan's rom. (can't exactly remember which specific rom it was) which resulted to better performance. Less crash. Less lags. Etc.

Yet. It all comes down to the startup problem. Refrigerating before use stuff. That's it. I hope I've helped you with your problem. Good luck.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I'm currently on a custom ROM with Pixel features and I am happy with the ROM. However, in the next update the DEV is planning on activating the Unlimited Original Quality Photos feature. To me this seems like it might cross the line from harmless modification to something that might be genuinely illegal. It feels like stealing cloud space through fraud. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable installing the next ROM build if this feature is included and cannot be easily disabled. I was curious whether people thought this feature might be illegal or am I just being paranoid?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Im not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post, but if you have a nexus 6p, you get unlimited photo uploads. Maybe it previously wasn't working on the ROM you're using? And the Dev is just fixing that? Though it still doesn't make sense to me...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyS1gn:
Hes talking about original uncompressed cloud space, you only have 15gb of that and unlimited compressed with the 6P.

For the OP: You are overreacting this... thats awesome i would totally use it in that ROM!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Ok. That makes more sense. Still though, it's surprising (and maybe pretty impressive?)...which rom is this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
It's Cortex...Great ROM and chef!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
You only get unlimited original quality photos on a Pixel. You get unlimited high quality photos on a Nexus 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I agree but I don't want Google coming after me legally or canceling my account for violating the terms of service. It would take them about 5 minutes to figure out which Google accounts are tied to genuine Pixels and which are using the service fraudulently.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Just leave the option checked for unlimited compressed photos then you have to worries on that ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
The DEV didn't seem to think it was an option that could be turned off within the ROM. I hope that you are correct.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Not to be a drag but it's not illegal, it's just unethical. This is a feature available to only those that have purchased the Pixel devices. If it was supposed to be for everyone, it would be available for everyone. OP, I am happy to see your struggle on this as it's something I have been thinking of myself. I can see the other software being used like the assistant and launcher, as those don't use any extra resource of Google's. However, the storage feature is definitely something we probably shouldn't be using or try to use. That's using actual physical objects(server space) that we aren't paying or have paid for using, so literally that would be stealing.

It would be as if we modified our routers to use extra bandwidth from our cable providers that we aren't paying for. Remember cable boxes back in the day?!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
Microsoft cancelled their unlimited backup offer because it was too expensive to maintain. Cloud space costs money and server space so it does feel like stealing. I take few photos on my phone anyway but this is something I can see some people abusing, which will cause Google to plug the hole that allows non Pixel owners to use this feature or worse. Since I don't want or need this feature I would rather not deal with any potential problems associated with having it. I guess I'll have to see how the Rom Dev implements feature and whether it can be disabled. I suppose in the worst case scenario I can either stay on my current build or switch ROMS.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montbazon:
It is definitely a violation of the condition you agree.

If you get the service that is not originally allowed, then Google may block your account.

[Verizon LG G3] neondunker:
Hi guys,

Need some help or clarification. Normally I would install xdadeb Rom on my cellphone through TOT -> stump root -> recovery -> bootstack -> Rom.

I got another one but with 48A and here comes my questions:

I did see a lot of "do not downgrade of your are on Android 6". I also saw some "you can dowgrade as long as your vs985 is not a K version"

Mine is 48A, not K version, official stock. Can I downgrade with TOT or is there something else to look at?

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes. Use the .DLL that comes with the 35B KDZ in order to flash the 10B TOT from stock 35B or higher.
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
Although this Q is a bit old, I think that it might be worth while to point out that, IIRC, the 'k' shows up in the hardware version (About / Hardware), not software version, where the 985nnx is shown (About / Software).

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] effluent:
I was set on a OnePlus 3T but this is one sale right now and I LOVE the audio capabilities of this thing. I have a rooted OP1 and have run CM for a couple years. It sounds like this phone isn't as far along as the OP3 when it comes to Roms etc... Correct? Any good Roms with everything working? One with theme customization would be nice too. Being used to perfectly working CM etc. would I regret getting this or should I go for it? Are there good Rom alternatives? I used to be one who would tinker with my phone a lot but these days I want a ROM thati like and just works and don't have to worry about it.

One other thing. It has been a long time since I've had a phone with an SD card slot. Can that storage be used as internal storage? On my Shield TV I can make one huge pool of storage with all the external storages plugged in.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] abdi7451:
You could have just looked at the ROM section of the forum to find your answer. We currently have one CM ROM, and it's not "perfectly working". It's a WIP.

You should buy the OnePlus 3T. The dev community for the Axon7 won't ever be as big as OP, and it seems that's what you care about.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] QAM:
Hola

I was interested in this A7 since it was announced earlier this year due to the amazing hardware and audio capabilities.

Fast forward 3 months or so since I have it, I can say that it delivers on the hardware in most aspects. The issues with this phone in my experience:

1. Camera ain't the best but just ok. Don't consider this phone if camera is important to you.

2. The hardware capacitive buttons are too close together and up to now it is tough to use the back and recents. This can somewhat be managed by using on screen navigation buttons which is available from one of our kind Devs who added it to a stock firmware based ROM.

3. There is no minute vibration controls. It is either on or off. On simply provides a hard, and relatively long vibration, annoying when typing. Yes you can turn it off on your keyboard but I still prefer it on regardless.

4. The single biggest issue for me is the lack of stable third party ROMs like RR, Pure Nexus, multiROM, DU, and the like. Also no full kernel is available yet - I see a Dev was able to provide 1 kernel but it is a work in progress and for that we are most grateful to the Dev. Another Dev, Unjustified Dev, took the time and effort to provide us an instance of CM13.1 but it has major issues with audio and mic. We know that Unjustified Dev has put a lot of time into trying to get the audio working better but due to the proprietary drivers related to audio it is also a work in progress. A few others have been trying to also help but mic is still iffy at this point. So if third party ROMs are your thing then this ain't a phone worthy of your money.

5. So frustrated I was with the initial lack of stable third party ROMs that I went ahead and purchased the OnePlus 3T, man that brand can attract Devs. I used the OnePlus for a few weeks but because I missed the dual front facing speakers of the A7, I went back. By this time another Dev was able to provide a very stable stock firmware based ROM with a few additional tweaks while keeping the audio features intact. I now use the A7 with Xposed and it is now OK. I am still hoping that our brilliant Devs will be able to get us a stable CM instance and I know they are still sacrificing time and effort into trying to provide us something.

6. I go back occasionally to my 3T to play with the latest iterations of some custom ROMs, but audio is the missing feature on the 3T.

Hope this helps you. I can't really pronounce on the other items you raised.

OP3(T) has poor carrier support in the US. US model of Axon 7 is better tailored to US networks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] stevec5375:
The Axon 7 is due to get an upgrade to Nougat in January 2017. I'm sure there will be many fixes to known problems that come with it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] effluent:
Thanks. Fortunately I don't care much about camera quality. With dev stuff really I can get by as long as I can root it and have at least a stockish rom that completely works.

One thing I do like now is the ability to customize the notification LED to change colors based on different things. Would this be possible with this device?

It really infuriates me that almost all devices come out with one mono speaker. It seems like stereo speakers of any kind at least should be standard at this point. Then again I'm one who wishes these phones had physical keyboards because After seven or whatever years I still can't type worth a crap on a screen.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
ZTE is a ****ty company with crap software. And the community development for this device is almost non existent (except for a few guys that are doing their best with what they have).

But you get front facing speaker and great audio (with awful support, though).

ZTE is so bad as a company that they dont even let us discuss about the Nougat update. You'd think they learn something after the last update that broke the power managment of the device and couldn't fix anything since launch , but no... 3 months now since the last update and we dont get a proper fix.

So, back to topic. Go with the OP3T, you get a better device, with better support and more resell value.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] effluent:
Not sure what to believe. I have also heard that OP has the worst support and ZTE's is better. I've never had any problem with any phone or needed any support really outside of me messing stuff up with rooting etc.

I saw one review from August talking about the A7's great power management. Are you saying that no longer works?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] treehugger38294:
The Axon 7 has a 2 year warranty vs. 1 for the OP3T so the support argument is not clear-cut.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
We are clearly talking about a different type of support.

Anyways, in my country I dont have neither OnePlus nor ZTE support so I really dont care about warranty.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] puremind:
I am the same as you. Personally I don't think CM adds much compared to stock providing you already use a different launcher. I personally use blinkfeed launcher from HTC on all my phones (and it has custom theming) and I can tell you that with that I don't need any other ROM as I feel the settings menu on the Axon 7 is great. Initially the software had some mild annoyances but with the latest update I am perfectly happy (and nougat update should fix the last remaining issues in January based on what ZTE said).

I think the OP3T is also a strong device, but you would be trading off gorgeous QHD display and amazing sound with slightly better battery life, which I personally don't use, since the Axon 7 charges in 70 min.

Personally I don't feel it makes sense to buy a full HD device going into 2017, as I want to be able to use good quality VR. Also on AMOLED displays which have a pentile screen arrangement 1080p is more like 900p in terms of sharpness. QHD look more like 1200p.

The only case where I would recommend the OP3T is if you are a non VR hard-core gamer and need extra performance as 1080p display can help squeeze more performance, but in most games the difference won't be that noticeable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
I completely agree with this guy. I'm blown away by how poorly ZTE have managed things, and their support is borderline non-existent. If the 1080p screen of the OP3/T wasn't a borderline deal breaker for me (VR) I would have attempted to return this phone. If I had to pick a phone right now I'd buy a OP3T, and that's even considering that the DAC on the A7 is a big deal for me which leads me to my next point...

You say the DAC is a big deal for you, well I should let you know that the Hi-Fi DAC it doesn't seem to work in anything but ZTE's default app which is absolute trash with less than bare-bones functionality and it's very buggy.

Edit: I forgot to clarify one point; why "1080p" is so pixelated for VR. It's because AMOLED panels are advertised as false resolutions due to a legal loophole; there isn't legal standard. They use a pentile pattern meaning they have 1/3rd less subpixels, and as much as Samsung's engineers will tell you that it effectively looks the same to the human eye, it absolutely does not, even at extreme density such as "1080p" on a 5.1" display, or even "1440p" on this 5.5" display. On flat colours I can see the pentile pattern.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] puremind:
For me warranty is a decision factor. The fact that ZTE offer 2 year warranty even for unlocked devices is a plus, even if I don't feel a need to unlock right now. The fact that Nougat update will be very fast coming already in January is also a plus.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
Only if you are in the US, consider the Axon 7. Anywhere else, including the US, OnePlus is a reliable option.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Avantiel:
People complain about the ZTE software. I love it. Had it for 3 days and no complaints. I live outside the US and it works fine on our 4G networks in Trinidad.

The screen and the speakers are two things the Axon 7 trumps over the OP3T. And a visual and listening experience to me is reason enough to get this phone over any other. amoled 1440p and front facing stereo speakers PLUS memory card support and a great battery? Its a no brainer, get this phone
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rjt378:
^ I've never really had much of an issue with the cosmetics of skins. The Honor 5x I am replacing is about as heavy a skin as you can get these days and I didn't mind it. People always hate on it because it rips off Apple (ZTE does a bit of that too). Of course I found Google Now launcher, and have since move on to Action launcher, which is just awesome.

It was between the One Plus 3T and the Axon 7. The price is what ultimately did it for me. I got the A7 for $325 shipped on Jet.com, when I called to ask a question and the woman gave me a $15 off code. That's over a $100 difference in price with very comparable specs (even without the code it was going to be $340 shipped). I care about roms, but only after ZTE will EOL the phone. And with prices coming down, and value like this at around the $200-300 price point, I might not even keep it that long.

ZTE needs to make an impression on the US market. Or at least they want to. They did the hardware right this time. Now they just need to do the update dance. Honor (Huawei) committed to two years. These two brands appear very similar in software thinking and other areas. Given the Azon 7's two year warranty, I think the are probably going to also commit to two years of updates, stated or not. It only makes sense. And it also makes sense to announce that. Or anything. Maybe I missed it.

This phone is highway robbery at $325. I might have considered the $100 more if the 3T were waterproof.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
Yeah, I was happy the firts couple of weeks too.
