[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] geok:
What do you mean by putting the phone in bootloader mode first? In my experience, the phone has to be booted fully in order for the RUUs to work. Is there a way to get it to recognize the phone if it's already in bootloader mode?

If I put the phone in bootloader mode and then run RUU, the RUU just comes back and says it can't talk to the phone.

FWIW, I did the same as you, as far as flashing the original (Cingular) ROM and trying to use the RUU that came with that update. It seems that those RUUs won't work with any other ROMs.

Thanks for any help! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] geok:
Yep, that's the one! Been through it. As I mentioned above, the driver instructions in that thread are required when using Vista, but the RUU doesn't work.

Other than docnas here, everyone else has had the same problem as me. The Vista RUU comes back and complains that it's out of date.

I'd like to figure out what docnas did differently to get it to work. BTW, what version of Vista were you using? 32 or 64 bit? Mine is 64.

I'd also like to find out how it worked with the phone already in bootloader mode, since everyone says (and my experience has shown) that the phone needs to be booted and synced before the RUU will talk to the phone.

This may all be too late for me anyway. I'm giving my old Cingular 8125 to a friend, which is why I've been updating it. Unfortunately (or fortunately? :)), once she has it, I'll only be working with my ATT 8525, which I can update and work with without any of the problems I've had with the Wizard.

What on earrth is this ? I've never before had to enter a password on this device.

What do I do next to get past this ?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aussie1234:
Try this

Hi try this.

Hold Volume up and power button at same time for a few seconds and release immediately when phone starts to reboot. It should go into bootloader mode. If it does not go to bootloader try again (volume up+power button).

Select Power off - which will turn the phone off.

Remove your SIM cards and SD card from your phone.

Restart the phone by holding the power button for few minutes.

Hopefully it will boot to the setup screen.

If it still boots to the Android password screen do not type in anything - just try this method once more.

Let me know if this works as it worked for me.

All the best

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
Success, that worked. You had to hold on the power button for a few minutes like you said. It then came up with a mesage saying erasing. It looks like its facorty reset the device, but it is on the latest B013 build. Therefore providing I can install google play store then I should (hopefully) be rocking.

It it factory re-set for you - if so how did you then install the google play store ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aussie1234:
Google Play Store

Hi

I'm sorry I can't help with Google Play store. I have model A2017G in Australia and the stock ROM already comes with PlayStore.

I had to factory reset twice (because my Axon 7 was randomly rebooting and freezing) and I encountered the same 'Android Password' problem as you. That is how I found to fix the Android Password problem.

You may just need to search in Google or XDA on how to instal PlayStore for your model.

All the best

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] :
Hello,

I am running an SM-G930P with Nougat PLN firmware. I downgraded it to PK1 Marshmallow firmware to root it, and used this root method: https://idoneapps.com/forum/index.php?topic=616.0

It worked perfectly. However, when I tried to use the Nougat update file, it said it was corrupt. When I tried to root it in Nougat, it began bootlooping. Is there any way to root it in Nougat? All I need to really know is how to install TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] :
There's not a way to root on Nougat yet, especially since it's on a beta firmware. TWRP isn't available on U.S Snapdragon Galaxy S7's as our bootloaders are locked.

but the only thing i could think of is pull the stock gallery apk from my rom or a diffrent variant and try it.

probably tied to the variants version.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] power-hardy:
Hey guys :)

Today I tried to update my CM 14.1 to Lineage OS and during the update process (full wipe + rom + gapps installation) i might made a mistake or something because when i tried to go through the setup it came this error when trying to connect to the Google Servers.

So i thought it would be a good idea to go back to CM14.1 so i made another full wipe and installed the newest rom + nano gapps. But the problem is that the error still appears. And i already tried to edit the host file.

Any solutions ?

EDIT: I fixed it! I deleted the hosts file again and cleared the cache from the G-Play app

For some reason, only stock CM camera can see my SD card, but the other camera apps can't. I have tried 2 different cards, but the issue is still persist.

I dont want to format it to "internal mod", because I'm using this card with DSLR camera from time to time as well.

Is there any way to fix it?

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ssayerr:
Greetings. I've been trying to update my phone from SlimROM 6 to SlimROM 7, but after each install, I've noticed that the Tethering & Portable Hotspot feature is grayed out in the Settings menu (see attachment). The lack of this feature is a pretty big dealbreaker for me at the moment, so I've been staying back on Slim6 for awhile.

Initially, I thought the issue was with the ROM (SlimROM 7 beta 0.8 and below), but when other users reported they were having no issue with the feature, I started experimenting. I've tried multiple other 7.1.1 ROMs at this point, and the only one that allows me to access and use portable hotspots was OOS 3.5.6. Here are the steps I've tried so far to fix this:

Verify latest TWRP and try again

Install OOS 3.5.6 to ensure latest modem, then install Slim 7

Install Slim6 (with working hotspot), then dirty flash up to Slim7

Test LineageOS, AICP, XOS, and a few others (ROMs only, no GApps or anything else) to see if Slim7 was the issue

Bring phone completely back to stock, install OOS 2.2.0 and update to current, then reinstall TWRP and flash another ROM

None of these have provided any success, and at this point I've pretty much exhausted my knowledge base. Does anyone know what might be causing this, or have any other suggestions I might try?

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ssayerr:
You will be happy to hear that, after an absurd amount of trial and error, I determined that the issue was with my carrier's provisioning, not my ROM or phone. Once I had that to go on, a bit of Googling found this excellent article, which details how to get tethering running again. I tried this yesterday evening, and it worked wonderfully. Not sure why my carrier has seen fit to disable tethering when I upgrade to 7.1.1, but this is a pretty straightforward workaround.

The only issue I've found with it so far, though, is that it reverts on new ROM flashes. I'm exploring creating a simple Magisk package as a more permanent fix, but this will at least get you going.

Every one I have tried "goes to sleep" after a period of inactivity, regardless of what exceptions I make in battery settings. This includes gravity screen, raise to wake, etc. It works well for a while, then after your phone sits for a while, it just stops. It's actually worse than having nothing at all because you simply can't rely on it. Lack of raise to wake or double tap to wake is my one gripe about this phone.

Hi XDA Community, I purchased a HTC one m8 used about a year ago and have been having some serious troubles with it throughout my time with the device. Whilst using my device I noticed that I was facing strange battery draining issues where the phone will essentially run out of battery at 60%, I have tried to re-calibrate the battery many times which has not helped at all. Along with the battery drain issue, when my phone has turned off due to not having enough battery the device essentially factory resets it self, whilst this issue is an inconvenience, the most annoying issue of all is that when it has reset itself I am not able to use the device at all since I get many errors from gapps which can only be resolved by a factory reset from TWRP. These issues were occurring prior to me unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP.

If anyone has a solution to this problem please help as this has been bothering me for a long time.
