You might have to try the hard-brick recovery flash then. I can't get into download mode, or when I was able to, it would stay there for about 30 seconds and then the screen would go black. Now I can't even get it to turn on or charge.

The hard brick option, if you're not familiar with it, means you have to expose the motherboard and short two pins. Not too difficult, but can be a pain, but it's a way to flash the phone if it's in bulk mode. Doesn't sound like you are in bulk mode. Otherwise, not sure what else you can try. Hope you get it figured out.

I would say with it being 2 years old, it might be hardware failure. Right around December of this year, more and more people were reporting issues like what you see and what I see, and many turned out to be hardware failure as the devices were coming on 2 years or were over 2 years old. Wear and tear I guess. I know I constantly kept it hooked up to a power chord when playing games like Game of War so I would never lose power, and I think a lot of that caused my issues. The battery was probably on it's last leg, and I know my USB port was loose, so I had to be careful when it was hooked up to the PC or one wrong movement during a flash could cause the USB connection to be lost and then, brick! And I'd have to start over flashing a TOT or KDZ.

Not sure what your usage was of the phone, but if it was like mine (constantly charging it every day, multiple times per day), that can also cause your battery to degrade quickly and in less than two years.

I'm taking mine into Cell Phone Repair Plus today to get a diagnostic done on it, just for giggles. Hopefully, if it IS the battery, they can test it with a new battery to see if it turns on. it will probably go to the LG logo and that's it because the last time I used it was attempting to flash the 10b tot and then it turned off in the middle of the flash, so I have an incomplete flash, but I was able to get it to turn on and go into download mode, but then, it would turn off within 30 seconds to a minute. So either that is battery or it's a hardware issue (or both).
[Verizon LG G3] Tech core:
Thank you IBOLSKI for the information you helped I did send the phone for repairs just to see if it was a hardware failure turns out it was the battery that caused this problem in the first place my phone will arrive tomorrow with the replaced battery hopefully the guys over there did the flashing and it succeeded. Thank you for all the support you gave me . :)
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Well, that gives me SOME hope. I was about ready to say forget it, but now I'm definitely going to take it into CPR+ and see if they have an extra battery to test it out and see if it turns on. If that IS the case, I'll have a nice spare in case something happens with my S7.

as the title says, I have a new 6045O and it went to 6.01 immediately.... how do I root now so I can load a different firmware?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mick073:
Hi.

Your bootloader has been already unlocked? Twrp installed?

If you didn't do that, do it before flashing 6.0.1, when you are in lollipop yet. Or on 6.0.1, install twrp by Alcatel flasher

When 6.0.1 installed and twrp, flash SU. Thats all

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
So... you went to 6.0.1 immediately. Now it need more work to flash a new firmware.

In 6.0.1 you loose fastboot commands, with no fastboot you can´t unlock bootloader.

Solution, you need to force root, i don´t now, maybe kingroot or something like that.

Then install Rashr from Google Play, find TWRP for your phone model, with Rashr, root and TWRP image you can install TWRP!

Whit TWRP, i think you can already flash a ROM, but is better to unlock the bootloader...

To get back fastboot commads you need the ABOOT image from 5.0.2 and a flash zip to flash it with TWRP.

After get back the fastboot commands you can unlock the bootloader and get a "free" phone to flash for sure.

Check this example for a ABOOT zip, you can use it by replacing the ABOOT.img from inside and the splash image for 6045 phone model ( i don´t know, maybe ABOOT is the same!!! )

[Remix OS for PC] BriniaSona:
I used the USB OTG option to have a bootable USB stick. It, installed Grub. How do I remove grub so I dont have to press F8 each time I boot my PC.
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
GRUB is a bootloader, and without a bootloader you won't be able to boot.

Unless you had manually added the proper lines to the bootloader that is installed on the hard drive, you won't be able to boot Remix OS from your flashdrive.
[Remix OS for PC] BriniaSona:
So each computer I plug the usb into will have grub installed onto it?

How do I remove grub from a PC after I am done using the usb with that pc?

I was looking to use the usb (with remixos) as a mobile OS.
[Remix OS for PC] BriniaSona:
I figured it out. I had to completely install RemixOS on a HDD (not a USB), then Uninstall RemixOS using the file in the RemixOS folder. Now Grub is gone.

BUT

What about when I plug it into my GF's pc and don't want to have to deal with installing grub and then removing grub. I thought the point of the USB install was to make it plug and play.,
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
GRUB is supposed to be installed to your flashdrive, along with Remix OS, not replace your current bootloader (unless you install Remix OS to your hard drive, of course).
[Remix OS for PC] BriniaSona:
Oh, for some reason, RemixOS installed Grub on the PC and RemixOS itself on the USB drive. No idea why.
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
That is quite odd, perhaps you should use Rufus to flash Remix OS in the future.

Rufus is also much faster.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regularcarrot:
A couple weeks ago my carrier, Ringplus, went out of business, so I decided to switch to Tello. I couldn't do this because I couldn't do a carrier reset on Cyanogenmod 13, so I backed up my system with TWRP Backup, restored to stock (XT1526 Surnia Boost 5.0.2), successfully did a carrier reset. Then I tried restoring back to my original Cyanogenmod 13 backup, but it won't work, after the restore is complete, the phone won't boot. When I try rebooting after the restore is done, the phone crashes at the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen. It can boot into Fastboot or TWRP, but it won't boot into the restored backup.

Is there anything I can do to get my Moto E 2015 Surnia XT1526 phone to boot once I restore from my backup?

Will it cause an error if I remove the SD card? Because the SD card will be seen as internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] jnflos:
Yes. Some applications may not work normally or at all. However the phone will constantly notify you that the card is missing and to reinsert it.

Optionally you can choose to cancel that prompt but then you'll permanently lose the association with the SD card and you have to re-format it to use it.

not working for me :( I flashed the zip file, everything seems allright but even after formating the sd card, I don't have the option
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] jnflos:
This is because the New Storage manager app is different from the usual access menu of standard Samsung settings. The menu we are looking for is hidden before the Format as portable storage option and there is no back button.

To make menu appear put the SD card into a computer and delete all the partitions on it.

1. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard on Windows or any other tool that let's you delete the partitions on the SD card

2. Place the SD card back in to the device

3. Go to the Storage Manager and select Storage options form top right

Now you should see the "corrupt" message under SD card. This is what we want.

To make the phone see the SD card as corrupt

.

4. Now tap on that and hit Configure on the popup where it says ...in order to use it it has to be configured.

5. Done. Now you will see 2 options:

-Use as portable storage and

-Use as internal storage

Finally made it work, thanks. However it is sooooo slow that I want to go back. What is the best procedure for this ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] jnflos:
You need a faster SD card (type UHS-I U3 or UHS-II U3 for faster access speeds).

As for reverting to portable storage just pop out the card then select "cancel association" from the phone.

Next time you insert the SD card it will say it is not recognizable and you can format it again either as portable storage or as internal storage ;)

Thank you! It worked perfectly and in the first attempt. I did not even have to use a computer to format the SD card, or interrupt the process on the phone. I formatted it using the phone’s default formatting option and, once it was completed successfully, it asked me whether I wanted to use the SD card as internal storage. Smooth as can be. The only issue I can see is that it’s showing the total available storage as 64 GB, which means that the phone’s 16 GB is not being counted. I don’t really care enough about it to troubleshoot it. I am not using up 64 GB anytime soon.

My 1st attempt to install cwm resulted in the message "warranty void" when rebooting the phone. Once it booted up i could not access the phone. Various apps kept constantly crashing (touch wizz or so). A full wipe resolved the problem. Using cwm i installed the zip, but then i still had only the option "portable storage" to choose.

I then installed twrp and using twrp installed the zip again. Surprisingly this time it all worked perfect.

1.) The usual advice to make a backup of your data from the system memory should be followed.

2.) For me only twrp worked, cwm not.

3.) I am really glad you people made the effort to provide this solution...the A3 with 16GB and all the preinstalled bloatware is just too limited...

4.) I am using a 64GB Samsung Pro+ microSD UHS-I Class 10 card (90MB/s W, 100MB/s R) and did not notice any loss in performance.

I have a stock standard 32 GB A5 2017. It has updated to v7 Nougat. Also have a 32 GB external micro SD card inserted. The internal memory was getting filled up and I wanted to move 10 GB of music over to the external SD card. I used the phone to format the external card and tried various ways to move the music.

I can't remember which way I did it in the end but remember that after I had selected all the music & chose 'move' from the menu, I was presented with the option to move the music to the SD card. Did so. Checked afterwards and saw that it had freed up 10 GB on the built-in storage and had decreased the available space on the external SD card by the same amount. Tried playing my music and all is well.

So, there is No Need to root your A5 2017 with v7 Nougat. Maybe there was with v7 Marshmallow, I don't know.
