Hi.

I cant to find any trustworthy source for downloading OEM ROMs. Could anyone help me with it? When I google it I found http://rootmygalaxy.net/download-install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930f/ which points to sammobile.com which asks money for premium download and non-paid download takes forever.

Then I also found http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G935F which seems legit - even the domain name is samsung-updates but for some reason it points to suspicious sites such as http://rapidgator.net or https://alfafile.net/ which also have very long (4 hours) download time for non-premium members.

Other thing is also that since those ROMs dont come from samsung's website I dont even know if I can trust them or not. Could anyone help me with getting trustworthy OEM ROM?

Edit: one more question: I have G935F. What makes G930F ROM different?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
DO NOT flash a G930F ROM on your phone. Only G935F ones.

G935F is the S7 Edge.

G930F is the flat S7 (non-edge) model.

Kies

I would suggest using kies

Just download the programme

Put ur phone in download mode and connect it to pc

In kies > tools > firmware upgrade and initialization

Then u have to enter device id and then serial no which can be found in device settings

It will download and install the correct and latest firmware for ur device

Well my actual intent is to get exact same OEM android ROM running on my PC, so that I could playwith different stuff and see what happens. So the idea would be to have it running in qemu and then only do tweaks to my phone that doesnt break android that is running on qemu. Like for example if removing some bloatware causes it not to boot anymore, then it would become evident in qemu I think, and then I would know better waht I can and cant do with my real phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Seanie280672:
Download BK package disabler Pro from the playstore, it will tell you what is safe to disable / remove ie bloatware etc and whats not.

3 lists are available in the app, installed, bloatware and system, even item in the system menu some items can be disabled, its pretty obvious what can be immediately disabled in the system menu like CNN News etc, some other things take a bit more study, although the app will advise you don't touch anything in there, it didn't stop me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
Tnx.

Having a virtual machine of that ROM would let learn me much more. This app thing was just one example. With VM I could try out other ideas as well.

Hello everyone, :D

I have a question regarding the last cyanogen mod update 14, for our OnePlus3 devices.

One of the main features that made me move from the stock ROM to CM 13 was the possibility to completely block a number from calling or receiving their SMS. This was a great function for me since I'm being stalked by an horrible human being :(:(.

With CM 13 I was able to block her and don't receive her calls during the night and her crazy sms.

When I moved from CM 13 to CM 14 I was expecting to have the same function, but unluckily I wasn't able to find it, and I had to roll back to CM 13.

Does someone know if this function has been reintroduced in the new updates of CM14 ?

I would like to enclose a photo, but since I'm a new user, the forum doesn't let me do it.

Thanks :laugh:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefa.:
Hi all,

I'm still investigating on my battery drain problem apparently related to Google Play services (here a dedicate thread on which I described it: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/help/google-play-services-battery-drain-t3537545 ).

Summing, all things for now are pointing to one, and not so positive, thing: Mobile radio active bug (here more details: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396)

After the little introduction, here comes the more general part.. I've found that using the WiFi connection my drain problem is totally gone, more than this, I see that Google Play Services exchanged a lot of background data when I am using mobile data (2G/3G/4G) .

Due to this I tried, from the Google Play Services app settings, to active the "Limit app background data" option and with my pleasure I saw that this was fixing my drain problems also with mobile data!

"All fantastic!" I said.. not at all, doing this I saw that I lost push notifications while receiving messages on whatsapp, messenger, hangout and so on.. and unfortunately this is very inconvenient.

Do you know if there is a way to mantain the "Limit app background data" option on but assuring all the right push notifications functionalities?

Thanks in advance for your answers and for your help.

Have a nice day :)

If your phone is rooted and xposed ready , you may try greenify to hibernate.

First I thought is it a stupid app which just force closes applications.

But after using it , It just felt different.Phone was blazingly fast , Battery Drain issue was Gone completely.

And I still get push notifications from Whatsapp , Uber , Facebook etc.

It is worth trying greenify even without root.

Hi,

I got a Palm Bluetooth wireless keyboard for Christmas but I can't get it working with my T-Mobile Ameo.

I have installed the keyboard drivers (http://www.palm.com/us/support/accessories/btwirelesskeyboard.html) and get a "wireless keyboard" icon in Programs. But when I click it and tick "Enable keyboard" the Ameo just hangs. The only thing I can do is take the battery out to reset it.

Anyone else found this? or fixed this?

The keyboard won't work via the normal Bluetooth pairing interface either.

Thanks,

Tom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tfotherby:
Still no luck

I still haven't managed to get this Bluetooth keyboard working. Just thought I'd post some more details in case anyone was interested:

* Keyboard: Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palm-Wirele...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199552934&sr=1-4

* Palm Keyboard software installed on Ameo: v1.1.0.2.

* Ameo OS: Windows Mobile 5.0.

Anyone know of a bluetooth keyboard that does work with the Ameo?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tfotherby:
Replacement

I bought a replacement keyboard - It is the "Freedom Universal Keyboard" which I can report works ok with the Ameo. See http://www.tomfotherby.com/blog/ind...board-dec2007-christmas-present-from-grandpa/ for comments and installation instructions.

I ebayed the keyboard that didn't work (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270203021878).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tfotherby:
I thought I'd post an update about the "Freedom Universal Keyboard" keyboard now I've been using it for a while with my Ameo. I no longer recommend it! There are 3 problems with it:

1) I have to pair it every time I turn my Ameo on and pairing is flaky (average of 10 minutes faffing around just to get a working connection). Pairing rarely works first time. You have to turn off other bluetooth devices. Sometimes I have to restart my Ameo multiple times. You get the picture.

2) You can't hold down shift to select text (vital for copy&paste).

3) The Home and End keys don't work (vital if you ever write long sentences).

Anyone found a good bluetooth keyboard yet?

I'd like to replace the hosts file in the /system partition in order to get rid of the annoying in app ads that keep interrupting whatever task I'm perfoming on the phone, mostly when I'm watching a movie/video. Every 5 minutes or so the adds are displayed.

I'm able to rename the hosts in the /system partition but after that I'm unable to paste the one I have.

What workaround is there?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash14darshan:
Install Busybox before hand

Open terminal , type

-su
-mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
-busybox cp a b

the last command copies file from a to b

PS: If your device is HTC , you have to S-Off before making changes to your android.

If you want to make changes to your android without S-Off , you can try the above commands in Custom CWM of TWRP

Akash,

Firstly, Thank you for your reply and effort.

Secondly, I'm a newbie, maybe you haven't noticed the number of posts i have to my name. I used ES File Explorer to try copying the hosts file to the /system/etc location (as I read on some other site). So please don't treat me like a anything but a newbie. I've never used busybox and terminal before, so I can't even begin to know where or how to start following your instruction, as it isn't detailed, specifically that 'copy from and to' command without the pathname structure, but I'm a quick learner as long as the instructions are clear.

In the playstore there a few apps with 'busybox' and 'terminal' names to them from different developers, so which is which?

About the ads; I mean to remove ads from the whole device, not just for my video app, as I mentioned, the video app ads are what annoy me most, but not the sole reason for my trying to do this. So, sorry to say, but Vlc is not the solution for me because I use Mx Player and I'm not willing to give up on it(to each, his taste).

I'm running lollipop 5.1 on an Itel 1508 phone.

It supports Band 3, 7 and 20, commonly used for LTE in the UK and Europe.

It also supports both 2G and 3G on all networks in Bosnia.

Since all countries in the EU use the same LTE bands, it'll work everywhere.

Hello, thank you very much. I will try it and I am familiar with flashing roms, so I will use ODIN to flash a stock ROM which is rebranded. But could you be a little more specific about the partition file, as where I can find them and how to flash it?

Is there a risk of bricking the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Don't know if there are any, but you'll have to find the newest SM-G935A ROM with a PIT file, apparently that removes the network lock.

If you're still hesitant to flash, you'll have to find a reputable cell phone unlock code website. Not sure about them since I've never needed to use one.

Bootloop Spice Mi-526n

My brother's phone was given for repairing and the person told that :

The phone contained two Firmwares and not one, and told to proceed to the service centre.

Phone is currently in bootloop and not even charging (tried connecting it via USB to pc and found it disconnecting & connecting).

I want the OS you mentioned and explain the procedure also.

Plz Plz Plz.

My email is : nmane1912@gmail.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akash14darshan:
If phone is connecting and disconnecting from charge, it simply means that charging port is loose. Try connecting it in an angle.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikhil_destiny:
Tried connecting it with different angle.

Also when I connect it to pc. It shows USB Device not recognised after I flashed some scatter file and got an error of old file logs.

After that it doesn't boot or charge and also there isn't a bit sign of charger getting heated although it should.

But the same charger works for other phones too.

Any new suggestion is accepted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akash14darshan:
If you cant even flash a new rom, there is nothing I can do. Maybe the emmc is toast. Or maybe the bootloader is corrupt.

And nothing went wrong except the error I got.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akash14darshan:
If you flashed stock rom itself, you must have done something wrong before that itself.

Tell me the reason you flashed stock over again?

Maybe I'll be able to help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikhil_destiny:
It wasn't me but the repairer from the shop.

The phone used to switch off/hang oftenly.

So my brother took it to the repairer.

After 2 days, he said that the phone had 2 rom instead one as it was given for repair previously also.

That might be the root cause of it.

And the phone was returned with a blue-black-unobvious display of spice logo on it.

Neither charging, constantly booting, and it's not even charging after that scatter file error.

[Mate 8 General] sillanwali:
Beta is an early build of EMUI 5.0 for Huawei Mate. That’s why it appears to be having issues with Bluetooth, Keyboard input, Permissions, Notifications, Dual SIM Option and SIM compatibility, among other bugs.

You'd to wait for Official Stable Version.
[Mate 8 General] beachletter:
B321 itself is beta rom for EMUI 4.1, if you want to receive future OTA update you should probably rollback to B211 or whatever is the newest EMUI 4.0 for L09C636. Instruction for rollback can be found here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1CSheVDH0

Don't expect official (stable) C636 nougat update to be released in a few days. They have just started another round of EMUI 5.0 beta test for the C636 earlier this month, I know because I'm one of their beta testers. It takes time for them to collect responses from beta testing and polish the final version.

This rollback is for the L29 version,not for L09 I think.
[Mate 8 General] beachletter:
According to a comment from the video it also works on the L09, but I cannot confirm because I only have L29. I think you just need to find the suitable L09C636 firmware for the final step, the rest should be the same.

You can use an app called firmware finder on the play market to download L09C636 firmware.

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

Current beta is close to the final product, it is as functional as the B321 and I use it as daily driver, only some minor bugs. I don't think the wait will be too long.
