[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
So i was using Pure Nexus rom 7.0 for my nexus 6. And i was using 2 step verification with sms option.

But because i was logging in a lot out of my PC and didn't receive the sms codes sometimes, i decided to try Google Authenticator app. Biggest nightmare of my life.

I disabled the sms option to try make the app the default way for using 2 step verification.

Then a Pure Nexus Nougat 7.1.1 rom came out and i wiped everything, without making a nandroid backup (yes i know, so stupid of me).

When i wanted to logged in to my account it asked for a code from Google Authenticator app which is not installed in my phone so i had no way to log in.

I had to ask from help from Google which is apparently has the worst costumer services i have ever seen. I filled the account recovery form which asks me when i created my google account(like i would ever remember) and then i ask me to provide all the details i can.

This week my 5th request to recovery for the account was rejected. Sadly, i get an auto email from google telling me that they couldn't verify i'm the rightful owner. They asked me for more details, but wont tell what details that could be. i have no idea what can i do to prove then im the owner.

What a disappointment from google that i cant even attach photos to the request and that all they do is to tell me to provide more details with an auto message, with no guidance.

Oh, and btw i posted in the google nexus forum and was told the exact same thing as the auto -reply email.

Anyone here had he's account recovered and can tell what detail to provide?

Isn't there an option to get the authentication code via SMS?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yep. I used it more times than I want to count, in trying to resolve OK Google issues on Pure Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
You can still choose to obtain SMS with verification code which will be automagically pasted in appropriate field.

Just look around your UI before lashing out.

i have one Nexus 6 with

NBD91P

build which is locked with google account (FRP),

i tried almost everything in order to bypass it, but nothing worked for me till now,

dirty-c0w exploit doesn't work also,

any ideas ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah. Get ahold of the account owner. There are some tut around on how to get past it, You will need an otg flash drive to do it. I know it works as I had to do it to a few devices this weekend and it worked on all of them without fail. Completely bypassed all security.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
As i mentonied i canceled the sms option because i wanted the app authenticator to be the default option

i cant access 2 step verifcation setting because i cant it asks me to relog again to the account and asking the code from the app, so im stuck.

How else can i enabled sms option again?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There should be a link that says something like "Having trouble?" below the field where you would enter the authenticator code. Tap that and you will get a list of options, one of which is to verify via text message.

Getting such a text does not change defaults.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
I get a message saying "problems with your code?" When trying to add a google account to my phone. When i press it i get the Google authentication app or contact google with recovery option which i tried many times. No sms option

Here are the option i get
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Just to cover one more possibility that you haven't mentioned, did you not print the 10 authentication codes that you can use for exactly your situation?

Failing that, maybe zelendel can give you some advice on the procedure he mentioned above?

Edit: on rereading the thread, maybe I'm getting confused because mirosaw2 has posted a question which seems to be related to his device, not his account, and therefore (if I'm correct) should not have been posted in this thread because it's a different question and zelendel's answer doesn't apply to the OP's problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Here is the link to the tut that I used. It worked across a few devices.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There are two different discussions going on. However, you are correct in that he should have the emergency codes. If he doesn't, he should be able to get them easily enough.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
well it looks like you'll just have to contact google and let them help you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION]

"he should be able to get them easily enough"

But if he hasn't got access to his account, and Google are playing hardball, how can he get the codes now?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
By signing in on his PC. Unless he didn't click the box near where it says "Don't ask again on this computer" on the Google sign-in screen, he won't need an authentication code to access his account. Other devices and services requiring access to Google still need to go through the authenticator.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem. I understand that the OP doesn't have access to his Google account at all, therefore he can't validate his phone, but also can't sign into Google on his PC. Maybe he can clarify that for me?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
This doesn't work on stock Android.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To that to the 4 nexus devices I had to do it this weekend to bypass FRP as well as a couple of Galaxy devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
He set up the Google Authenticator on his N6 because of his frequently accessing his Google account on the PC. Apparently he disabled SMS retrieval in his account, and then wiped his device. Now when he tries to activate the account on the N6 he can't because the account requires an authentication token. Google cannot verify that he is who he says he is and thus will not give him a code.

Unless he set up his PC to automatically authenticate his account upon login, he won't be able to authenticate his account. That means he's locked out of everything and will have to make a new account. He'll also have to find a way to bypass FRP on the N6, as he'll get locked out trying to activate.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ADRz:
This morning, my Note received a rather large software update that installed without many problems. Most likely certain security updates, but I was surprised to receive it as we are not really "accustomed" to any attention from Samsung for this tablet. Any further comments from anybody else?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] anandlal:
I got the same.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nanofoxx:
many problems? like what i have it to and i hate updating. anything broke? IR blaster still work? Please and thanks. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ADRz:
Mispelling

Sorry for the misspelling. I meant to say "without any problems" not "without many problems". In fact, the whole update process was smooth and fast. Everything works fine. I understand, however, that everyone's setup is different and my experience should not be the absolute rule.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Xophile:
Nothing here on my device. Although it might be because I'm in Sweden.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dingnecros:
Did anyone see any changes? I dont see/feel anything other than the version number change even the security patch level date remained the same. Is there a changelog somewhere
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Maris_:
I don't see any difference after the update, either. I wonder what it was supposed to have updated?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] louvass:
There's a whole new Lollipop firmware on the San mobile firmware site.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] antoinettew1969@gmail.com:
Yes...problems

My tablet updated and now the OS boots super slow and then does a soft shutdown and reboots a second time. It takes more than 60 secs to get to the home screen. Anyone know how to uninstall this update?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kingsman1:
I've seen this post for a few days but not had time to respond till now.

I've got an SM-P605v. Haven't seen, or been able to download the update you've mentioned. This may be because I don't use Verizon as my connectivity partner, or it may be that my particular tablet's OS doesn't need the security updates that yours did.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] WorldOfJohnboy:
I also have a SM-P605V but have Verizon as my carrier. I got the notification to update today. I don't see anything on VZW site about it nor under the specific SKU on SamMobile (still has 10/15/15 as the last official update). When looking at the SM-P605 model, there are some in the list (even today's date), though they are for non-USA countries.

Even so, it looks like they are still all Android 5.1.1, so it's likely just some minor tweaks. To my understanding, you would need to pop in an activated Verizon SIM to get the update for your specific tablet, as Verizon is the one that issues it. You can also wait until it's posted on SamMobile and manually do it. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

I think I found the official from Verizon: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-2014-update/

(I called VZW and she confirmed that it was an Android Security patch, no MM, darnit!)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] WorldOfJohnboy:
You should be able to flash this now that Sammobile posted it... https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Scarabscarabeus:
I got this a couple of days ago - managed to odin flash after I put the wrong file and got the boot loader triangle a day before. :o

Its extremely stable and the tablets working like a dream - the only issue is no root.

Edit: I noticed a great improvement in battery management and it will charge to 100% from 30% in 4 hours before I flashed the 5.1.1 rom it took nearly 8 hours with a new(second hand) USB Flex connector and nearly 20 hours with the old usb flex connector to go from 30% to 100%.

I really like this tablet - it reminds me so much of my SM-N910F note 4.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] louvass:
You can root the latest firmware and also install twrp. I have a 600.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] graffix31:
did it actually do anything? or is it not worth it
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] louvass:
Probably just a security update
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Bad Mod:
Please excuse my silly question but I have P600 with 5.1.1 and never rooted. Do I need to install twrp before I update or it doesn't matter? Updates always make me uneasy with locking bootloader or needing new root methods.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Scarabscarabeus:
If you just want to update then flash with Odin and the appropriate file. Try looking at sammobile.com for the appropriate rom file.

If you want root then you will need to install a custom recovery using CF auto or Twerp - the latter will NOT work on the SM-605v version as the bootloader is locked and will result in the yellow triangle and stating that the tablet has a strange recovery and that you should see a verizon technician. By installing the recovery you can then update the system or even try out new roms created by the people of this wonderful community.

Rooting will potentially stop business application with built in security from working - i.e. HSBC application, Virgin Media app and Sky Movies apps will not work on rooted phones to name a few.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Bad Mod:
I updated and rooted and everything is working ok. I had trouble with 64gb Sandisk microsd with "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Then it mount itself back. Sometime it shows empty and asks to format and sometime it works. Also the lockscreen flicker and that usually when the card error happened. I suspect they are related and it happens only when waking up the device. The card works fine with all my other devices including my note 4 on stock 5.1.1. I'm not sure what caused it because I just used this sd card with the note 10.1 and then updated and rooted all in the same day.

Anyway, I removed the Sandisk and now I'm using 32gb Samsung and it only happened once for maybe 12 hours (could have been 100 times with Sandisk). Also, I don't notice the lockscreen flickering anymore. I will see if this problem comes back or it just that Sandisk doesn't play well my note. I have seen many people here reported similar problem with other Samsung devices for too many reasons. I don't believe file format is the issue but I'm using exFAT.

[Android General] SiTox:
Hi,

I have Moto 4G Plus, with latest Android. It has 16Gb internal memory which is not enough.

I bought good samsung SD card for 128Gb and now I have a choice

1) Use it as general purpose storage. Pros: Can copy movies, audio easily Cons: Cannot move apps, still not enough space,

2) Use it as internal storage. Opposite as 1.

Is it possible to split 128Gb, sd card and use 20 Gb as internal storage and the rest as general purpose SD card?

What would be the best strategy here? If I make it as internal storage, then moving and managing audiobooks, movies and music would be quite hard (maybe there is a better way)?

Also, I would prefer not to root my android.

Many thanks for all advices in advance.
[Android General] DodoGTA:
You can do it using ADB shell (without root) or a terminal emulator (if you have root):

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damian_1993:
Hello all,

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M

I had Google Play Edition ROM installed on my phone for about a year but recently a problem with sound started occurring.

After boot, sound works fine for maybe an hour or so but then the problem starts.

The problem is that no sound comes out of the phone, no ringing, no alarms, no music, nothing at all. When earphones are connected, they also do not emit sound.

I tried restoring, installed also different ROMs but same problem occurs.

Any idea how I can troubleshoot the problem or anything I can do to fix it?

I don't think it could be hardware problem because after restart, everything works fine for some time then it starts failing.

Thank you in advance,

Damian

No luck with a completely stock ROM that was flashed through Odin? If not, it could be a hardware issue with the phone's speaker.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damian_1993:
I was planning to try out a stock ROM but didn't do it yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if it's an issue with the phone's speakers then the earphones would work, right?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The very fact you have tried other ROMs and encountered the same issue in all them eliminates software as the culprit. The only possibility left is hardware. In this case, the sound chip on the motherboard must have a faulty solder joint somewhere, preventing it from working after the device heats up.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damian_1993:
Wouldn't it be the case that after direct restart, the heat is still the same and the positions are still the same so it won't work?

In my case, however, it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Possible. There are other hardware failures that can duplicate what you've observed however. You won't know for certain unless you go completely stock. If it happens on stock then it's a virtual lock there is a hardware issue.

Hello someone help me...I was using oxygen 3.2.8 f2fs.

I tryed to flash RR 5.8.0 (clean) it was stuck on patching system image unconditionally

So I rebooted and did the same procces and it was saying something like : cant mount system and data partition.

So I rebooted to twrp I did change data and system file partition back to Ext4 and I still can't flash a rom. SO is my device bricked now ?

Can someone help ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cpt.macp:
just swipe format it , your data and system .The partitions are corrupted .

also changing the File system formats the partition . ( be careful when doing for /data )
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
Thanks for your reply

I did just swipe format it and when I'm installing oxygen 3.2.2 its still stuck on patching system image unconditionally
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cpt.macp:
you are on TWRP .28 right?

as its the only recovery working now for all the Open beta 8,9,10 and OOS 4.0

why you still using 3.2.2? atleast get 3.2.8 and flash garak's recovery here

also garak's recovery will work on 3.2.2 for most of the part
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
I did like 3.2.2 more stable then 3.2.8 in my opinion.

So I did go to fastboot. and flashed your twrp via cmd. When I did launch recovery it said ;3.0.2-0

btw Flashing 3.2.8 did work thank god. my phone is booting. Do you thinkg I can flash 3.2.2 or RR 5.8.0 without any errors now ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
And thank you very much for your advice sir
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cpt.macp:
no clue for RR rom , sorry . and just keep Recoveries updated and you are good to go (:

and your welcome. 3.2.8 is also stable with very minor and almost no bugs
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Ghost123NL:
Again thank you. Yes It's stable I agree. So I tryed to flash RR (Dirty) It said : updater process ended with error 7 (So it doesn't want to install the zip file.)

I though If I do a clean flash. just wiping all partitions, and if the error is still here I can't flash 3.2.8. Then I'm also done......

You know some knowledge about that error ?

I am unable to flash anything even official firmware with official recovery, when in adb sideload mode. whenever i try to push a zip to install terminal says:

C:\Users\nd4ios\Desktop>adb sideload a.zip

loading: 'a.zip'

* cannot read 'a.zip' *

the file is named a.zip

it is in the Desktop folder

ive tried doing this like this:

C:\Windows\system32>adb sideload C:\Users\nd4ios\Desktop\a.zip

loading: 'C:\Users\nd4ios\Desktop\a.zip'

* cannot read 'C:\Users\nd4ios\Desktop\a.zip' *

C:\Windows\system32>

but same issue

ive tried reinstalling the drivers -(adb, fastboot, and device)-

no avail

ive also tried moving the zip file to the system32 folder and still same error. ive tried multiple zips and nothing.

Ive looked at the ram - practically no ram usage on my pc

ive tried installing twrp recovery but it never can boot into it - just turns to black screen and stays there. (tried multiple different versions of twrp)

ive looked online for help and nothing has helped so far which is why im turning to here.

ok well ive tried using the adb drivers you mentioned and it is still coming up with the same error, so im going to try booting into linux and trying it from there
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] intersectRaven:
It's because the ADB executable isn't large address aware and so it fails to allocate memory when you're trying to sideload something big (>1GB) like the OOS 4.0 for our OnePlus 3. You need an ADB that's been made large address aware or you can do it yourself if you have Visual Studio installed on your machine. I'd provide it myself but I've already sworn off posting files here. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NewDev4IOS:
i have Visual Studio Enterprise - i got it from being a student, so how would i go about making the adb large address aware? thanks
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NewDev4IOS:
i found an app online to convert the adb to 64bit and see if that works on it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] NewDev4IOS:
ok so what you said is the issue, apparently my adb is not large address aware, as i tried pushing a zip file under a 1GB and it worked but when i push a file over it says it cannot read.
