[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyNutz:
Hello!

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 (SM-G7105) and I want to unlock my bootloader but adb and fastboot don't recognize my phone while it is in download mode

Yes,i tried re-installing drivers and changing usb ports but it still doesn't work :(

Here is what the cmd is telling me:

What can i do? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
For interacting with Samsung devices in download mode Odin is usually the tool that is involved. Do you know for sure that your device doesn't come with a already unlocked bootloader? Are you trying to install a custom ROM? If you can provide me with more information I can help you more :)!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyNutz:
Yes,i am trying to install this ROM

Odin can actually detect my phone while in download mode,but fastboot and adb cannot

My real problem is when i try to install the ROM (i'm using TWRP recovery) it gets stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally" and the solution that i found on the internet is to unlock my bootloader
[XDA Assist] Avoch:
Hi

I am aware of several methods to check this question (dialer codes, phone info apps) but not all of them seem to work or give a completely foolproof answer.

Could an experienced phone technician be able to tell from a physical inspection of the inside of the phone?

Thanks
[XDA Assist] xanthrax:
Hi !

I quite sure that it`s possible unless is a piece of hardware which comes from unknown manufacturers.

Cheers !
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] acua:
I was looking for instructions on this site to flash TWRP and CM onto my apollo, but I found conflicting information:

This link suggests that any bootloader should work

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982

This link suggests that 14.3.1.0 <= x <= 14.3.2.4 (that means including 14.3.2.4 I think) should work

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-h...bootloader-unlock-procedure-software-t3030281

Other posts suggest that the highest supported version is 14.3.2.3.2

Could somebody confirm what the latest supported version is? What's the best version for TWRP and CM?

I'm running stock 14.3.0.5, what do I need to do to get TWRP installed (without safestrap), is it upgrade->root->unlock bl->twrp? Is there a post that list all steps required from start to finish? Can the whole process be done on Linux (I don't have Windows)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
- all information was relevant/accurate at time of posting; things change

- use TowelRoot to root FireOS 14.3.0.5 (if necessary)

- follow 3-step procedure in OP of 1st thread you linked to unlock bootloader

- there is no 'best' CM; builds for 11, 12.1, 13 and 14.1 are available

- stick with CM11 if you need robust Bluetooth an/or mobile radio support
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] acua:
Should I upgrade the bootloader

Thanks Davey126. Which bootloader versions are supported? Is it advisable to upgrade to the latest supported bootloader?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
No need update bootloader at this time. At one time SOP included applying 3.2.3.2 update but several recent bricks have revised that recommendation. That said, I don't think your device would be at risk as you are starting with 3.0.5 vs 4.5.5.x. Cross that bridge if/when needed. You will know if a bootloader update is needed; various graphical, audio and/or radio/WiFi glitches are symptoms. No major crashes...just annoyances.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] acua:
TowelRoot requires Internet connection, but I want to avoid OTA upgrade. Is it possible to root offline?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] acua:
I found a TowelRoot that works offline. It's all done. Thanks for the help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Glad you're all set. For awareness the 'online' version of TowelRoot works very quickly...often <30 sec. No time to download and process an OTA update.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AnyAndroidOSWins:
I got a Fire bricked because of the kindle going online, best to use ADB to copy the offline towelroot apk.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Alternatively, install HDX Toolkit and block OTA updates (although neither is really necessary if online access is limited to <30 sec which is more than sufficient time for TowelRoot).

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MIOB91:
Hey everyone,

I checked the similar threads but it seems everyone else has issues while playing music. My issue is only during calls.

Very often, almost every time, I have my V20 connected to a car through Bluetooth I get a really bad stuttering during calls. It is pretty much impossible to take a call like this. Sometimes the problem will go away but most of the time I just can't take any calls through Bluetooth. This has happened on a 2012 and a 2016 Toyota Prius C.

I recently got the Jaybird X3 and I experienced the same issue. Which leads me to believe that the issue is with the phone and not the car. I have a Note 4 and I never experienced this issue.

I tried stopping the Bluetooth system app (apps?) and clearing the cache and data but the problem is still there. I mention apps because I see 2 Bluetooth apps. One says its version 7.0 and the other one version 5.30.13. It seems both are active since both have memory used in the last few hours.

I've also tried the unpairing, deleting, and pairing the phone several times and the problem persists.

To be honest the problem is really annoying to the point I've considered getting something else. It is just frustrating to not be able to take calls over BT.

Anyone else having this issue? Is it maybe just my phone? Any ideas what could it be or how to solve the issue?

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MIOB91:
I tried the phone with a MB CLA 250 and the issue is still there.

I also noticed there is a lag on the audio both while listening to music and while playing a video. It is more noticeable when playing a video since the audio is clearly out of sync by about half to one second.

Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?

Or is it just me?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Artimis:
I can't say I've had this problem. What model v20 do you have? Are you stock or rooted (and if rooted, what ROM/kernel)?

I also have 2 system BT apps but one of mine differs from yours - 5.30.12.1

I'm using a rooted VS995 with a stock 11a rom and the NSSR 5.5 kernel.

I am having the same problem as in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2371548

The phone is stuck in a bootloop and is unable to mount /data.

But when I attach an USB cable, Windows says: "one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doesn't recognize it"

I tried this on 3 different computers with Windows 10 and they all say the same.

I did everything: Another usb cable, usb port, drivers delete and uninstall and reinstall, samsung kies install and uninstall, but nothing works.

The phone is charging and sometimes it is vibrating, but other than that it does nothing. I tried to manually mount data, format data, flash a custom Rom, and everything by SD card, but nothing works and it keeps getting stuck on bootloop. The problem is I can't use Odin to flash the files manually, so how do I flash the files from http://d-h.st/PF5 with a SD card only?

Please help!

Edit:

Flashed CWM and stock ROM with SD card - but it says 'unable to mount /data' and it's still stuck in a bootloop

Windows says in device manager: device descriptor request failed

I tried flashing the files in http://d-h.st/PF5 with SD card, but that didn't work? Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately my phone recently had a death match with my porcelain floor. The floor won taking out the honor 8 screen within seconds.

The good news is that the screen should be under warranty.

Currently there is a ticket with Huawei to get it repaired.

This was only yesterday that I submitted all the asked for information via email.

Now I am wondering about how long it takes for Huawei to get back to you. And how long it takes from sending the phone in to getting it back.

Anyone have experiences with return and repair?

The cost really isnt that bad for a screen repair.

I know that it was 100$ for me .

If I did it locally it would of been at least 180$ taking the same amount of time.

Seems as though most companies that do screen repair can only do samsung or Iphones.

Silly but I guess it makes sense for them not to carry all screens in stock.

It took around a week in Finland for repairing the back glass.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
Ok, my screen got repaired in the US recently. It took 10 days in total from the day I reported the broken screen glasses to the day I received the phone back. From the day that the repair center in TX, US received my UPS shipment to the day it got repaired and shipped out, it was 3 days, or 2 days from the day they noticed me by email that they have received my phone to the day they emailed me the phone has been shipped back to me. I consider this is a pretty good record for Customer Service like this in the US. The UPS return shipment from the repair center to me is Air shipping (two days). It came back with a Huawei box--despite I used a very small box to ship the phone to them--and a contact card and a Huawei pen. The screens -- front and back, as well as the frame--were all replaced with a new set, marked with FRD-L14 despite the original one was FRD-L04. The OS was reset by them, which I guess was done for testing the installation and so on. I didn't ship the phone to them immediately after I received the UPS label from Huawei; otherwise, it could be sooner, I guess. I am satisfied with the service so far.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] freemannhp:
What is damage of your phone before? Both sides and frame?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
Dropped the phone on the bottom frame and rolled down the stairs and then cracked the back and front glasses. The earjack plug hole got squeezed a little bit. That may be the worst scenario I can imagine. The phone was still functional as a tank. Glad they fixed everything for free very quickly :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
Here is a follow up of what has happened since my last post here.

I had to get the order for the out of warranty screen repair tied to the account. Mostly did this though phone conversations and they took my order number of the screen repair.

After a few days when they had to "verify" my information I finally received my UPS label.

They wanted everything packaged well and removed the Sim and SD card.

Dropped in my local UPS store.

It took about 4 days to get a verification that it was delivered to Texas. This was a Hauwei notification that said it was delivered.

Totally confused since it said delivered but had my address on the email I received.

The next day I received an email saying they have it in possetion and looking at what needs to be done.

A few more days go by.

Then I get a conformation that they are sending a replacement unit to me..

A few more days go by ( Over all 10 days total )

I received a box . It had a pen on top , a business card and a new phone in the bottom wrapped up in 4 different packaging.

This was not my old phone, I guess they didn't want to fix it .

The only issue I had was had to reinstall all of my apps and get everything set up .

So far its working well. Had a new case and screen protector I purchased to keep it from getting destroyed again.

Let me know if you have any questions about what happened.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
Overall 10 days seem pretty common and relatively quick nowadays. If you had made a backup before sending it to them, you may have avoided the app reinstallation process. Thank you for sharing!

I forgot to mention that they overnighted the phone back to me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blaze Falconburger:
I'm having a bit of an issue with pptp on the Kaiser. The handset is provided by Vodafone so it's branded a v1615, I've not flashed it with anything yet.

I can create and establish a pptp connection via 3g to my server successfully, however as soon as I either go to messaging (setup for imap to the server's internal IP) or PIE to access OWA the pptp connection just drops.

Anyone any ideas?!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blaze Falconburger:
Bit of an update - in Messaging the network to use was wap which had an incorrect access point set. I changed it to work, set the access point to internet (I'm on Voda UK), username & password of web.

Then I created the pptp connection under VPN for this (the work) connection.

Now in messaging when I hit send/receive it dials the 3G connection, succeeds, then establishes the pptp connection successfully. And stays connected.

Only, still no mail - it reports back unable to retrieve new messages or contact server.

On the server, it shows there is a ras client and gives it's IP (obtained by dhcp).

I can't ping it (the kaiser) through the vpn.

I can't get imap to work through the vpn from the kaiser to my server.

I can't get RDP to work through the vpn

I can't get PIE to access OWA when addressing the internal IP of the server through the vpn.

I know these services work via this same pptp connection from another windows box. It's almost like it's not routing traffic down the tunnel. Vodafone don't seem to be blocking it as it is establishing a connection. Anyone any ideas??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blaze Falconburger:
This is more than frustrating. PPTP connection establishes fine, RRAS reports back an IP address for the logged on client.

I've tried using vxutil on the device (http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html) - when the tunnel is reported as up, it is unable to pass any traffic through the vpn it seems, no tcp, udp or icmp. Nothing.

I have tried adding the server ip address under exceptions, also *.*, but no difference.

I ran Ethereal/Wireshark on the server, not one packet even reaches the server, this pptp connection is useless and somewhat of a let down.

I guess nobody else uses pptp at all? I would have thought I had a fairly standard setup with a W2k3 box nat'd behind a 3com router/firewall.

PPTP works fine on any other device apart from this..
