[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1droidmod:
Quick and yes maybe for sure "noobish" question.. Feb 17th VZW is disconnecting this line. (unlimited data plan) and my htc 10 is only 17% paid off. Obviously the first thing I did when I got this phone as well as my M8 was you sunshine. (unlocked/s-off) Now for noobish sake does this mean VZW cannot possibly anyway block my phone or IMEI or Blacklist so I would be unable to stick another carrier SIM card in and use my device with them? You know, bring your own device, byod? I never thought I'd be in this situation but I'm kind of freaking out so thanks for your understanding, thank you..

I put it in these words because when I add up to the HTC 10 nothing at all was ever mentioned about ganking my account and leaving me with an unpaid device that I could not use unless I surrender to them and use the limited g*y data plans. So I just figured if they wanted to be bullies it would be pretty sweet for me if they try to lock my phone or Blacklist it and they couldn't. Thanks again
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
They can't do that to your device, it would be illegal. You can bring it to any carrier also. Sticking to stock Verizon rom will get you a pop up saying sim is not from Verizon but everything should function.

You could really stick it to them and fully convert your phone to us unlocked after you switch and no more sim pop up and completely Verizon-less system/firmware, that's probably way to go anyways if switch carriers
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1droidmod:
Cool, thank you for the confirmation. Tomorrow I am speaking with Stephanie B. A supposed VZW executive. I only average to 241 gigabytes a month, I was never made aware of a 200 gigabyte cap so I'm going to see what I can do about keeping it open but I also have a second line that is also unlimited data which they don't care about at this time because it doesn't come close to 200 gigabytes a month so I think I might have some wiggle room but I don't know. I just wanted to express to her my main concern is the fact I was never made aware about what happened over 200 gigabyte cap and also we as their customers we're never given a questionnaire or survey as far as the 1% of their customers who have unlimited data goes what should happen to us as far as going over 200 gigabytes is concerned. I doubt anything will happen that's not going to already but I'll let you know if I get to keep my line. Thanks again

I just got mine back. Took to Verizon a complete brick. I've only had 4 months. Finally got the new one in mail

About to downgrade and use sunshine and yes it has to be paid for again. Geesh these 10's are much more fragile than my old m8 . First device I've ever bricked. Now I didn't have to pay anything for replacement to be sent. I know people personally there though

Good luck and happy flashing

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Got my replacement in the mail after a brick. Immediately before reading the latest ota blocked sunshine from working. I took ota and set up device. Searched & downloaded your linked file : renamed and moved to SD card. Here is where it got strange. Battery over 50% mind u. Ran first time failed near the end. Left device useless. Tried to run again after booting back to download mode. Failed again. Only to boot device into white HTC screen. Well after about an hour of trying to figure out a way out the hole I've dug again, because PC will not recognize phone like this. And I could not fastboot said file. Anyhow after about another hour I tried again. And finally the same thing loaded everything properly and finished without an error. So successfully downgraded firmware so I could run ☀ . Ran sunshine and am s-off,now.and all is well. Any understanding why it would fail twice then work. Same method.?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1droidmod:
Same situation but different device.. Samsung s4 or s5 nt sure anymore but downloaded stock firmware and used correct drivers/ODIN, flashed atleast 3 hrs straight always failed, finally it worked, dont know what/why it took so many tries but I was not quiting until something gave... Was very strange, like ur deal.

Flash stock rom, root, flash custom recovery, remove bloats using titanium backup,flash custom kernel beofella done best stock rom for me lol...

Phoenix rom i guess
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirespot:
I second that. Stock Marshmallow is excellent once you remove the bloatware.

If you want to make it even better I recommend Boeffla Kernel (boeffla.de) – ATTENTION IT IS JUST FOR G900F! It has a very easy to use configuration app and ready-made profiles for battery saving, undervolting etc. Just remember to take it easy when undervolting, start small with -25mV, run the Stability Test app a few minutes, see how it goes. Usually -25mV should be more than enough. In fact I'm using one of the Boeffla profiles that does exactly that, -25mV on the voltage and limit the frequency to 1.7GHz and I was getting 0.2% battery/hour in idle. (On a fresh install without any apps yet, granted, lol.)

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] nikole13:
Hello All,

I'm a fairly new coder and I recently Hard Bricked my Samsung J5 5.1.1

Is this a Bootloader issue or OS problem as to why I have a Galaxy J5 Hard Brick?

Here's how it happened:

* I rooted the phone

* Wanted to enable more storage (4GB to 14GB) via SD Card

* Gained Super User access and had total file control via an app (I can't remember which one). I then found my way to an area where I could transfer the entire phones files (to include the OS files) to the SD Card - so I did

* The dialog box to restart the phone popped up and I pressed restart

From there the phone has not startup (not able to pwr+home or pwr+home+dwn), can't be found in device manager via USB, and can't be found via adb reboot fastboot (gives a *daemon stated successfully* error: device not found)

Why won't it turn on? Is this a boot loader issue or an OS problem?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1up1up:
I've been using this Verizon-bought Pixel XL on T-Mobile for a few months now and have been experiencing this more and more frequently in the last few weeks. I haven't noticed it while calling out but when I receive calls sometimes, the callers can hear me but I cannot hear them at all (mute, absolutely no sound). I've also experienced this on subsequent incoming phone calls numerous times. I thought that it might just be a signal problem the first few times but it's been happening way too frequently and is unacceptable. I've notified T-Mobile of the concern and they're "looking into it." It happens frequently enough that I'd rather not pick up when work calls and would rather it go to voicemail. Has anyone also experienced this with their Pixel XL? Google search didn't come up with anything useful.

I haven't restored the phone OS yet but also feel that that may not fix the issue. I also have WiFi Calling turned off.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xmaciek82x:
I know this post is over a year ago, but curious what the solution was or if others are having the same problem. I recently bought a Pixel XL and experiencing the same issue on random times. My phone is a Google bought phone on cricket (AT&T network).

Every day after 3pm, who ever calls me, I cannot hear them. I need to reboot my phone and everything is back to normal...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Immabed:
I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue, but (unlike the distortion issue) I am also having an issue with my loudspeaker. It only works some of the time.

I've missed notifications, alarms, and had issues listening to music, getting Google Assistant to talk, and watching youtube. Sometimes my Pixel just makes no sounds. When I notice it, I can often get audio working by trying several different audio producing apps, although I have had times where I simply have to wait, and the next time I try (maybe hours later) the audio is working again.

Has anyone else had this issue? I've definitely not been very impressed by this phone, wish I could go back to my N5.

Shooting Raw on the Honor 8​

To shoot photos in RAW format, open your camera app in pro photo mode. Swipe to the settings from the right side of your screen and toggle RAW format.

When you shoot in regular mode on the Honor 8, your photos are compressed and exported to a JPEG format. When RAW is toggled, an uncompressed RAW image will be saved along with a standard JPEG formatted copy.

RAW image data

Shooting RAW photos will produce a file around 20MBs-30MBs on average. When you transfer these files to your computer to edit in photoshop, you'll notice that there is a lot more detail when adjusting color and contrast.

View attachment 3990648

JPEG image data

The compressed JPEG that is produced when shooting in standard mode is usually between 2MB-12MBs in size. These photos are fine for applying filters and stuff but when adjusting colors or contrast, you'll notice you lose quality.

Updates if the Device will get Nougat and when?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] HumanCaviar:
Hopefully someone has some experience with this...

My SM-G930A is currently running on Echoe Rom v1.2 - I believe it's based on the UEU2APEH firmware.

Currently looking at flashing G930AUCS4API2 (or) G930AUCS4APK1 to resolve some mobile data instabilities/inconsistencies and would also like to try WiFi calling.

I realize that this will update the bootloader and restrict my ability to downgrade or crossflash other carrier firmware, but is there some other pitfall I'm missing? Will I kick myself in the ass for upgrading?

Seems like root is still possible on the newer AT&T firmwares, but can someone with direct experience confirm that? Also, I'm on an unlimited data plan and tether provisioning bypass is a must have. Anyone tried rooting and using Xposed to achieve this successfully?

Thanks!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I suggest the Stang5.0litre rom in the Verizon thread. Just change your APN once you get the rom flashed. Also download titanium and scroll down to freeze "setup wizard" that'll get rid of the "your sim card is not a Verizon sim card" message that you'll get when you flash it. I like it much better than Echoe and the dev is super active.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] atyourfuneral:
Like the topics states my 8125 will fade the screen every time I slide my keyboard open. It does it about halfway through the slide. Also practically non of the buttons on the front work anymore. I was told the ribbon cable may be loose, so I took it apart. I got all the way until the back of the screen seperates from the screen. I was pulling that apart and it didnt want to come so I just stoped in fear of breaking something. It was almost as if glue was holding a board on. Anyways I looked around as best I could and did not see anything. When I turned it back on it started right up but still fades out when slide open. Its been doing this for some time now and I just got back into the the cell phone thing rather then purchasing a new one. NBD ROM but the problem existed way before changing anything on the phone. Any help would be great. TIA

You will have to use a clipper preferably a plastic one to seperate the black back panel of the LCD housing,insert the clipper from the side and then run it along the entire panel till the six(i think) clamps unlock,then gently pry the back panel off taking care not to cut the flexi strip,that should do.It is most unlikely that it is a software issue,85% its a strip problem and 15% maybe because of the LCD.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] atyourfuneral:
Any chance you mean the ribbon cable when u say strip?

I have had the cable off and visualy looks ok.

any chance there is a replacement cable that I can purchace somewhere?
[Sony Xperia M5] shALKE:
Hi guys,

Running just the official build, non rooted, its my GF phone and today it was left charging and when we came back from going out it was very hot. It was with screen black.

After trying to hard reset, but un-responsible. Gave it a little time to charge up and I got to this screen:

Any suggestions how to unbrick it ?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M5] ih8redsn0w:
It's not bricked but if you can do this:

If you can't hold to power off, then hold the power button and volume up until it vibrates 3 times then open Xperia companion and do a software repair.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Hi all,

I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader for my Pixel through SuperSU (settings, unroot, restore stock recovery etc). However, now when I turn the phone on it gets to the 'your device is corrupt' screen (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Avr7yNnXOpY/VjGcdDK9iHI/AAAAAAAGCf0/LLwjhkLX1yk/w666-h2518/15+-+1) and then just switches off. Is there anything I can do? Bootloader is currently locked (EE Pixel)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kornesque:
Just want to make sure I understand you, you said you re-locked your bootloader?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Yup.

So did the SuperSU thing. Then went into fastboot to relock. That seemed successful so I tried to restart and this happened..

And I can't get into recovery >.<
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kornesque:
My ability to post is intermittent, don't know what's up but if this doesn't get through then...well, i guess you won't know.

Did you take any 7.1.1 updates or sideload anything? Do you have a VZW variant? And can you get to the bootloader to issue fastboot/adb commands? Hopefully you're not hosed, we'll see what we can do and hopefully a guru shows up here too.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
Try to unlock the bootloader again. If you can. Download the full system image from Google and flash that. Then re-lock it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
What happens when you boot to recovery?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
It boots into the bootloader. Then I choose the RECOVERY option and the 'YOUR DEVICE IS CORRUPT' screen shows up again. It stays on that for a few seconds then the device turns off, exactly like how it does when I try to boot into the phone normally. So I can't get into recovery either..

So this is an EE variant (similar to the VZW one, but UK-based). I can get into the bootloader (holding down power+ vol down) but ADB DEVICES doesn't list anything. I didn't update it to 7.1.1. I used SuperSU to UNROOT, clicked YES when it asked to restore stock recovery and image. Booted into fastboot and relocked bootloader.

Though if I use the SkipSoft toolkit it does detect it in Fastboot mode
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Can't unlock without dePixel8, and can't use that unless I boot into Android itself so that I can push the files..
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
Have you tried a regular fastboot unlock?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Yup, tried that through SkipSoft (because normal ADB doesn't detect my phone so using SkipSoft). It says 'failed' when I tried
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
No idea what skipsoft is. I mean did you load up a command prompt and run the "fastboot OEM unlock" command. This has nothing to do with ADB. You need to be in fastboot mode to run it. To make sure your device shows, run fastboot devices. Again, adb will not help with the bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Ah I see. OK so yes, 'FASTBOOT DEVICES" shows my device. FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK fails though. Which I guess I expected, because it's an EE/VZW locked phone..
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
OK. So even in recovery mode you can't get adb devices to show the phone? It sounds like you're out of luck.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
UPDATE: OK so if I type "Fastboot continue" and it boots into a fresh copy on Android.. however, each time I restart it from there, it shows the red 'CORRUPT' screen and turns off. So then I used dePixel8 after booting into the 'fresh' Android to unlock the bootloader again. If anyone else is stuck - FASTBOOT CONTINUE boots into a 'fresh' copy of Android that's on a different partition, from what I understand (could be wrong).

This seems to have worked in the sense that I know have an unlocked bootloader and it boots into the OS again and into recovery!

The odd thing is TWRP is still the main recovery, even though SuperSU was supposed to have removed it. Will try to manually flash stock recovery from an image now.

The main reason I need to relock my bootloader is to get Android Pay working.

Thanks for the help guys!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
If you want to go back to stock and relock the bootloader, flash the entire system image from google first. Don't only do half of it or you'll end up in the same spot. Nice find on the fastboot Continue though!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brpqzme:
Ah thanks for the info. So best option - flash the image direct from Google, then relock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Electroz:
Yes sir

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

But go with the 7.1.0 image just in case. So you can depixel8 again if need be.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
If you truly are still unlocked, I would use Google's flashall bat file so you reflash both partitions correctly.

And I really wouldn't relock it. You got lucky, it would seem that your attempt to relock failed. If it had worked you would have been out of luck.

Without any mods other than unlocked I am pretty sure Android pay works fine.

Did you change anything else, like root or maybe system mods?

Edit. I'm wrong, unlocked trips safteynet. So you flash a kernel that fixes that. Franco does, I think Elemental does and this one does:
