Hi sir, I can't seem to flash the ftf file. I successfully installed three driver for the flash tool. Then when I boot in flashmode and selected flashmode on flashtool , the firmware is detected but the content is empty? The section on the firmware has the word xperia z5, the the section on the right which is the firmware content shows nth.The flash button is greyed out. I check the file size is 2.6+GB and I downloaded it without interruption.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Lauriso:
Hi guys.

I'm running Android 7.1.1, LineageOS 14.1. But for some reason apps can't write to internal storage.

Examples: can't download received Whatsapp images, can't save photos from Facebook, can't download Swiftkey themes, can't take Instagram photos. If I open the stock Gallery app I get a "No external storage available" error, and it quits. I can take photos with Camera to external SD, if I try to select Internal, it tells me there's not enough space. I can however, install apps from the Play Store to Internal.

So something's messed up with permissions, I guess. In Storage Settings the built-in SD is called Internal shared storage.

Any ideas?

Hi, I have a Deco 77x (MediaTek MT6572) and I need to install drivers on my PC to flash a custom ROM.

The drivers are successfully installed but I can't install the last one: "MT65xx Android Phone". I tried reinstalling drivers, rebooting and disabling driver signature enforcing.

I have WinXP Sp3.

Also tried in Win10(Parallels Desktop on my MacBook Pro) with no success, some drivers are not detected in VM.

Is someone knows what can I do?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You're having PC issues, find a PC forum.

This forum is for issues on android, not PC.
[General Questions and Answers] crik91:
Re-tried with another one Windows10 x64 PC(not on VM) yesterday. Same issue. I don't think that it's a PC issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Installing drivers on a PC is most definitely a PC thing and not an android thing.

As already stated, find a PC forum and figure out why your driver's won't install on your PC.
[General Questions and Answers] crik91:
Drivers are installed in all my PCs(also Win10 in VM), I can't install the phone.. It's not possible to have same issues in 3 PCs with different OS.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your issue is with getting the drivers installed on PC, correct?

This is not an issue with something you're doing to the phone itself, it's an issue with getting your PC'S to accept the drivers, that is not an "ANDROID" issue.

A PC forum will help you figure out why your PC's arent accepting the drivers and get them to install correctly.

This forum is for help with things you are doing to your actual android device, not for issues with the systems you are using to interface with your android device.
[General Questions and Answers] crik91:
Ok, but this forum is full of users that have issues with drivers and full of other users that answered and helped to solve.

I do not think it is as bad if I ask here.

My question is for someone that can and wants to help me like in others posts.

Thanks anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, I know driver questions have been asked and answered here before.

My point is you would get better and quicker solution in a PC forum, have it your way though, if you'd gone to a PC forum when I told you, you'd probably already have the solution.

I'm sure you'd rather have a solution as soon as possible, correct? So why not go to where the specialty is PC related issues, the kind of place where they deal with this kind of issue a lot more than it is dealt with here.

Am I making any sense yet? Or are you just refusing to understand?

The phone is not rooted. What is the right path for an minor update to a new 14.1 lineage version, whenever possible leaving all apps and settings untouched?

Some users did an dirty update. That means just flashing on top without wiping cache/dalvik - right?

Hello everyone,

Contact with you because I do not know what to do or what to try. I have an I8160P (Ace II) that it stopped working (Samsung logo appeared continuously). I tried to install a ROM (from the P series always) and now I have it semi-bricked: I get the typical message '' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again ''

I have followed all the tutorials and tried with ODIN of different versions (old and newer) and it recognize the mobile, but after several ROMs, none of them worked well. I have tested with the following:

I8160PBVLK3_I8160PAMNLK1_AMN

I8160PXXLK2_DBTLK2_v2.3.6_Repair_Firmware

In all test that I do, ODIN indicates "PASS", but it still indicates the same error message: '' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again ''

Previously, I had installed the Cyanogenmod 11. Now, I can enter in Downloading Mode, but not in Recovery.

Can you help me please?

Thank you very much in advance.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JacksonG:
Super odd problem here. So I had originally turned off animations (running latest nightly of Lineage 14) and I turned them back on just to see what they were like and the soft rebooted. Upon rebooting a bunch of stuff, settings, functionality disappeared. My recents button does not pull up recents at all, no notifications. When I went into the settings and searched "button", nothing appeared. Finally, I went to development settings and could not access any of these settings I had before. It appears I entered some odd user state or something, but I don't know how changing animations could trigger that.

Any thoughts?

Hi people,

as you can see I'm new to the forum so excuse my lack of knowledge.

I did browse through a little when I had my XDA Exec (HTC Universal) but never posted. I've now bought an Orange SPV M3100 from ebay, and I'd like to unlock the sim lock plus upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 so thought I'd join and learn how to mod my new phone/PDA in time for it's arrival next week so I can use my Three UK sim.

I've had a little look at some threads regarding the unlocking linked from another forum, but the threads I read didn't really mean much to me as I'm unsure of the terminology used in regards to software modding. I'm also unsure of what software I need to communicate with my new phone when I update/unlock it.

Any help would be great! In simple terms if anyone can point me in the right direction to unlock and install Windows Mobile 6 then I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance! :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
OK after browsing forum pages and trying to take in some info to accomplish my goal I just need to double check incase I wreck my phone...

Basicaly all I need to do is unlock my Orange SPV M3100, and would like to install WM6... Are these steps correct?

* I understand that I need to install ACTIVESYNC v4.5, which I've done.

* Then to unlock my mobile I need to download Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a which I've done. Connect my phone, and make sure the green activesync icon appears in the bottom right hand corner of my computer screen. I then run the 'Auto_unlock_v3a.bat' and follow the instructions.

* To flash a rom I need to install Hard SPL v7 which I've downloaded. I assume I run 'RUUWrapper.exe' while my phone is connected via activesync?

* I downloaded the Offical HTC Windows Mobile 6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108) from the link on this forum. To install I guess I just run the .exe file?

If I'm completely wrong then sorry, I'm not trying to be a pain I'm just trying to get my head around the whole process. Also could somebody tell me what a 'radio' is?c:) Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Westie277:
there should be a read me .txt file in the sim and cid unlocker.... try reading that if you haent allready

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
I did have a look last night at one of the 'instruction' text files I think on the SIM CID unlocker, that part of my whole process seems the easiest.

I just want to make sure installing the WM6 update is one correctly for obvious reasons.

Is there an advantage to using a 'cooked' version of WM6 over an official HTC WM6 rom? As it seems many have these custom roms, when I assumed the official would be more stable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
Got this all done in the end, seemed rather easy after I thought it would be some kind of nigtrmare.

I now have an Orange SPV M3100 unlocked, running radio 1.47 and operating on the Dopod official WM6 rom.

All seems well so far! ;)

When I get bored I may have to try some of the cooked roms.

PS... Anyone know where to get some nice themes? I saw a green one somewhere on here (official HTC?).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Westie277:
lol i was in the same boat as you (if you remember) its easy when youve done it you think well wats all the fuss really about....lol

i running a Schaps os really nice esspecially with the sleek touchflo in built :D :D

got bored of running offical wm6 rubbish lol :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
I lasted 1 day with the official Dopod rom, I'm now running the schaps 4.30! Very pleased with it, million times better than the standard official WM6 I had 1st.

;) ...and yeah it's easy peasy flashing new roms, I think it's the terminology that was making me scratch my head with roms, radios etc I didn't know what anything was at first.

Happy now though, just need to find a new case to make my Hermes nice and fresh looking - I hate scratched phones! :D

I've seen a couple on ebay for around 30 quid with the HTC logo instead of the horrible Orange branded ones.

If you search for htc hermes housing in titles and descriptions you should see a few on there, some are around 50quid though! Plus most are from Hong Kong so you'd have to wait a week or so to receive the housing.

I've taken apart a couple of phones before (Nokia 3650 and did an Ericsson w800i case swap on an Ericsson K750i) and taken apart my old laptop which I managed to fix and this doesn't look too hard to just do a housing replacement.

I ordered a plain black housing today (no company logos) which I will fit next week (coming from Hong Kong). Cost me £33 in the end I think, hopefully it fits OK.

My LCD is ok bar one VERY annoying scratch! Think I will leave that alone though until it gets worse, then I may flog the phone as is at the end of the year, or maybe just replace the screen if I feel I wanna keep it. I pretty good at keeping things looking nice though so hopefully the screen won't deteriorate too much.

I'll post a pic of before and after when I've done it and point out any difficulties I had, should be OK though! :D

Looking forward to having a nice new looking Hermes without the Orange branding! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] southeastblue:
Just to say, I managed to change my housing only took me about 30 minutes was pretty simple. All I needed was a T6 Torx screw driver, a very small phillips (cross head) screwdriver, and a credit card shaped card to lift away the housing after you've taken the screws out of each bit.

Haven't taken a picture yet but happy with it! Will post one soon! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
Hello!

I have a S7 Edge (G935F with Exynos chipset bought from Europe, carrier locked to Vodafone).

I am currently running a Marshmallow Custom ROM (BasicPlus 5 Odexed) and would like to upgrade to the latest official Nougat. I stumbled upon this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/android-nougat-7-0-s7-edge-tutorial-t3497991

And thought of following it.

However, after a year of heavy usage, my I/O performance has been slowly degrading to the point where, according to AndroBench, the phone is around 15% slower than it was when it was brand new. I also have a Note 3 that exhibited similar behavior after 3 years of heavy usage, and the speeds are back after doing a full wipe according to this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2610757

So it struck me that maybe I can do the exact same procedure (using the latest ODIN this time and the PIT for G935F – “HERO2LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit” - I found here:

https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30628

Just to be on the safe side, I’ll have an EFS backup made using the latest TWRP ready.

Has anyone else tried anything like this?

If I do try this and it fails, do you think that it’ll be accepted for warranty repair?

My main concern is that the carrier locked phone may not play nice with an „open” PIT.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
Seems like slight overkill to me, although the tutorial is easy enough to follow. I can't think of any good reason to delete your EFS - seen plenty of people struggle mightily to restore it.

I do a full wipe including system 2 or 3 times annually and then flash a stock ROM as a "cleanup". Works for me, any speed increase might be placebo except for my Note 3, which was drastically improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
I wouldn't feel safe even leaving my phone near odin with efs clear enabled, I don't see any gain with clearing the EFS, plus you seriously risk that if you screw up your IMEI is gone. Not worth for me

erasing efs is the biggest mistake you can do, flash only firmware, don't mess with efs

Don't worry about EFS, it's bad to erase it, and no idea if TWRP will be able to restore it, but factory binary can. So just download it just in case and try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
Alright, so I'm not going to touch the EFS.

What about NAND Erase all / repartition?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] adoe:
i use this method also when flashing new firmware. when using a external PIT, i check options *repartition *nand erase *flash bootloader. works everytime for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
So it should be safe as long as I only check those options and don't touch Phone EFS Clear?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] usmanmalik:
you should let ticked only repartition if you flash with pit file
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
I see. Thank you for your suggestion!

Finally, anyone got any idea about the carrier lock thing? I mean, is there anything that I should take into consideration just because my phone is not unlocked, even though it's the global Exynos variant, G935F ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
Sorry, I don't think I have been clear.

I do not wish to unlock my phone, I am just wondering whether there is any modification to the normal flashing procedures for upgrading my OS though ODIN just because this phone is carrier locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
No idea about that. That's why I'm asking :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
the main difference between pit file and csc is.

csc is a software erase which does not effect anything on your phone except the firmware.

pit file erase has the potential to change the memory structure of your phone by resizing the partition if not done correctly and could effect the hardware of your phone by causing it to brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Yeah I was talking about the benefits of a pit wipe over a csc one

Inviato dal mio SM-G935F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
pit erase is done only in extreme cases. Flashing an incorrect pit file could cause damage to your phone is hard to recover from.

normal reflashing csc will fix most issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] usmanmalik:
usually flash with pit file is used to software repair you phone, not in normal stages
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little_moose:
Well thank you for all your replies.

I have decided not to use Nand Erase all / PIT Flash since the device is working perfectly fine and there is no need for unbricking or something. Also, I'll keep in mind that PIT files are indeed useful in dire situations.

Also, I won't touch the EFS, since the last thing I want is a mp3 player that looks like an S7 Edge :angel:

I'll simply wipe all the partitions that TWRP allows me to twice and then use ODIN.

Thank you all again and I hope you have a wonderful day! :D
