[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] fabiofloyd:
is it possible to root this version?
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] Lurker_0:
Yes, just follow the same steps as with the x20 version and it'll root. I just got my x25 version yesterday and have it rooted.

Note, I did have to flash the recovery image four or five times till it stuck and was able to boot into TWRP, but it got there and I've now got root, AdAway and ROM Toolbox Pro up and running.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
Working on my X25 just received. Have lost count of the number of times I have tried to get TWRP to stick. Flashtools always shows 100% on the red loading bar and then "success" but only have stock recovery. I have re-downloaded TWRP zip. I am having trouble getting to recovery using power/vol up so using ADB to reboot recovery but TWRP should replace stock ? Can you give me any suggestions since you mention that it took you four or five times to succeed (or help from anyone will be greatly appreciated).
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] Lurker_0:
Use home button + power to reboot to recovery. You'll get a little menu, click the home button till the arrow points to recovery, then hit Vol Down to select. If TWRP finally stuck it'll come up, else you'll have stock recovery. It was frustrating to figure that part out, and once I did it still took a couple attempts to make TWRP stick, but it can work if you keep at it.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
Thanks for the encouragement. I did finally get it to stick. First time it went to bootloop so had to flash stock ROM and start over. Pretty much a full day job. I did catch on to the unusual button combination to get to recovery. Like you, hard to live without root once used to it.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
Don't know if this is a fact or if it makes flashing TWRP easier but found this on the Elephone "bugs" forum

"Before using the SPFlash Tool you need to unlock the bootloader with the adb command "fastboot oem unlock" and press the volume + button. After this, they can use the SPFlash Tool normally to be able to flash a ROM or only recovery. ".

Seems to be a possibility for next time.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] Lurker_0:
Awesome, that oughta help with any future OTA updates. And glad ta see ya got it working. Nothing quite like having proper control of one's device.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
Still "playing" because it is not my "daily driver yet" forgot that there is a switch in developer options for unlock bootloader. Makes life even easier and TWRP flashes first try now !:good:

Problems with twrp

always stuck on ele logo after successfull install TWRP
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
Are you assuming that TWRP flashed successfully because you got a green check mark in SPflashtools ? I struggled with the same thing and boot problem. I suggest you flash a stock ROM. Put superSU on the SD card, if you have one, so it is ready to go. When you have the boot problem solved go to developer options and unlock the boot loader. Flash TWRP again. Remember that the home/fingerprint button acts as volume up on this phone. This worked for me after many hours of "successful" messages in SPflashtools. I believe unlocking the bootloader is the key to real success otherwise boot gets corrupted.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] fabiofloyd:
Ota updates

It Will mess with anything?
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] bluiis48:
It will wipe apps, pictures, music video, basically a factory reset but you will not be stuck at boot logo. If you want the latest OTA (not much of use in it as far as I can tell) make sure to do that before you start the TWRP and root process but you can bring the phone back with the February stock ROM (in a different thread in this forum) and flashtools.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtahoon:
I need advise for what to try next:

- should i try different ROM (official or custom)

- Or try another 5.0.1 firmware from sammobile (for different region) or it's worthless to try since all is 5.0.1 , or possibly try 6.0.1 related to different region as long as it's english.

Or i should revert back to older firmware [kitkat for example] and install a relevant ROM

My current info and results:

- Battery performance is very low; 7-10 hour with active usage (typical phone calls and browsing , screen on), Arround 15 hour idle (wifi,sync on).

- This is official 5.0.1 insalled by OTA

- The problem is an old one , which might had been caused by Lolipop upgrade.

- i've removed samsung bloatware, minimum necessary apps => same problem

- tried to check effect of [Sync: on-off], [mobile: on-off] [wifi: 0n-off] but the whole battery life time changed with arround by max 10% for each, none showed great improvement for this 10 hour lifetime battery.

- Top battery consumer is always android OS & android system & display (depending it's idle or used).

Regarding the Battery:

- i don't think it's a battery problems since it's a new battery with good reviews, the stock one is weaker, another cheaper battery gave lower number.

Current version Lollipop 5.0.1, PDA I9500XXUHOH6

Download the 4.14.401.7 ota from flappy's thread and drop in on your external sd card.

Reboot your phone in to recovery and choose the option to apply the ota from external.

My missus's m9 wouldn't move from the splash screen after the official ota tried to install and this is how I fixed it.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagros:
Thanks for the quick reply. When I try to update the OTA from SD card I receive the message

"system partition has unexpected contents"

"E:Error in /sideload/package.zip"

I used the OTA

OTA_HIMA_UHL_N70_SENSE80_MR_HTC_Europe_4.14.401.7-3.35.401.32_release_490770.zip

that corresponds to my MID and CID

Any ideas ?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Fastboot is bootloader and download mode. Adb is recovery mode.

Rename the update to 0PJA10000 (zero, p, j, a, one, zero, zero, zero, zero). Transfer it to your phones internal sd via adb while the phone is in recovery mode (not download mode or bootloader), at the very first level of the memory (not in any folders at all, just in the sd itself) and reboot again to recovery.

It should auto flash.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagros:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I am unable to access my internal memory in "recovery mode" (or in general) and my only indication that it still works is the "fastboot getvar all" I posted in my root comment. adb doesn't recognize my phone in any mode other than "sideload mode" so I cannot "push" the file into my sd card. Renaming the file on my computer doesn't provoke auto flash when entering "recovery mode" but maybe it's because I cannot restart into recovery mode, only boot into "bootloader mode" and there use the "Boot To Recovery Mode" option.

Sorry for being so difficult, kinda tried not to mess up with it but it bricked nevertheless 0_o
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Remove the pc adb drivers, put the phone into recovery mode and THEN connect it to the pc. Hopefully it should install the correct drivers. Failing that google "manually adding physical addresses to drivers". This involves editing the .cat file prior to installing the driver.

Your only other option other than that is the ruu.exe and I'm not sure if one exists yet.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagros:
Hi , thanks for the reply. I tried to do what you suggested but neither my Windows nor my Ubuntu recognize my HTC when in recovery mode (outside "sideload" mode), guessing it's because I never enabled "USB debugging".

Moreover, I searched one more time for any Rom that could fit my phone , unfortunately I cannot find any .exe rom that fits my CID + has a version higher than 2.*

Wrote to HTC (though I doubt it would do anything) ... Are there any motivational words about not throwing out this phone and buying a new one ? I'm am quite convinced that the problem is in the software, but the way I see it now , HTC locked the phone quite strong \=

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagros:
Hi , thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean. I don't have any access to my internal sd card , so to apply your suggestion I had to pull out my ext. sd card and move the file to it via my computer, and only after that connect the ext. sd back it. The message I receive from my phone when trying to install the firmware is what I wrote earlier
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
You do have access to an sd card, physically. Apologies if I wasn't clear, but I've not come across any instance of anyone taking out their built in storage! So you did indeed apply my suggestion correctly.

Hi !

This is up to the keyboard`s theme , if your keyboard supports themes try to find a suitable one for you .

There is a way to theme it yourself but for this you need root and a xposed module and this works only on certain keyboards , mainly swiftkey, AOSP and google keyboard.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobLoblaw321:
Hello

I tried rooting my LG H815 and it didn't go so well.

I managed to successfully unlock the bootloader following the steps on the LG developer website.

I downloaded SuperSu (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip) and placed it in the internal storage of the phone.

Afterwards in order to root the device, I booted into TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img".

In TWRP I flashed SuperSu. After it finished flashing I rebooted the device. After it attempted to start up again, it froze at the LG logo. I waited around 10 minutes and figured it's not successfully boot.

I removed the battery and tried to fire it up again, but it didn't get past the Logo screen again.

I managed to send "adb reboot recovery" to it, but all I get is an image of a little dead android. I guess this is because I only booted TWRP and did not flash it.

When I get it in fastboot mode, "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img" does work anymore now. I just says < waiting for any device >.

I managed to get into default recovery with power up + vol down where it prompted me to do a reset by responding Yes twice, but after it rebooted, it still got stuck on Lg logo.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htr5:
If you cannot get to the recovery then follow these steps:

i) Make sure you have the LG Drivers installed from here: http://oceanhost.eu/e4h2px4e0hkd/LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe.htm

ii) Download the LG Bridge software from here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000025-1438110404543-preinstall-apps

iii) Remove the battery and reinsert it so the device it is fully off.

iv) While holding the up volume button, insert your USB cable.

v) You should enter download mode. Go to the Software Update tab of the LG Bridge. It will say connecting and then should say your device is up to date. Click on the recovery text on the bottom right and then follow the instructions. The software will download the system image for you and this is roughly 1.6GB so make sure your firewall doesn't block this connection.

This shouldn't delete your data (no guarantees) but you will have to grant app permissions again and reapply any changes to system files e.g. root, viper4android, xposed ect.

If you have problems try this method instead:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848

If successful and you're brave enough to try again. Then make sure you actually flash TWRP. I think you are right in that you only booted TWRP .

You can follow my TWRP/root guide here: https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003

Good luck :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobLoblaw321:
Thanks a lot for answering.

LG Bridge wasn't detecting my device. I don't remember if I was in download mode when I tried this, though. I might've not been.

I didn't know how to fix it and asked a friend for help. He managed to flash the h815 stock firmware through some Taiwanese/Korean flash tool (Edit: It was LGUP and he flash a kdz file with the stock firmware).

I followed a similar guide to yours when I flashed SuperSU from TWRP, except I didn't install twrp permanently after booting it from the .img file. I thought it was not possible to install twrp if the device is not rooted first.

I still kinda want to root the device since I voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader, but I'm afraid I'll break it again if I use the same method.

Edit: Managed to successfully flash twrp. Booted into recovery again after rebooting system. I am now creating and saving a full backup with TWRP. Will try flashing SU again afterwards.

Edit2: I flashed SU after properly installing TWRP and it worked like a charm.

I've been checking out the forums for the A8 every once and a while, and its looking like developmemt is just gone. Development for the only CM13/CM12 port has been discontinued (http://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-a800f-t3344081), apparently because of lack of sources.

Now, I'm not hating on the devs. The devs do amazing work. I'm just wondering why the interest in the thinnest samsung phone ever made is so low.

first off i would like to thank this site for all its help so far , i have installed colonels rom and i am delighted with it , however i have a small question.

i purchased the sprint mogul while visiting the states last week as i needed a pda and it seemed to fit all my desires , however upon bringing it home i noticed that there was no simcard slot so i cant use it here in Ireland (we seem to be a bit behind the times :D) spoke to a rep here and i was told the simcard is inbuilt and it would need to go back to htc to be changed , now that isnt really feasible at the moment so i was wondering if it was possible for me to change it out or if that is even possible , i dont mind taking it apart but i can find no info on where the sim goes or if there even is one , sooooooo just wondering is it possible ?

thanks again for all the help i have recived from other threads on upgrading and thanks to the colonel for releasing a class rom

[Mogul, XV6800 General] bigray327:
To the best of my knowledge, CDMA phones don't use sim cards at all. I could be wrong.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ScottC:
Uh, for in Ireland you have a paperweight. There is no CDMA outside North America. There is no sim in the Mogul, and nothing in it can be reprogrammed to make it work on GSM. The entire radio portion of the phone is made for CDMA and specifically Sprint.

Sorry, but you'd be better off ebaying it and getting a GSM device.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jamesus:
To my knowledge, this statement isn't entirely true, as I believe that South Korea and maybe China has CDMA networks...but I could be wrong...

Everything else you stated is right on though! :D
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dishe:
Oh boy.

In a nutshell:

2 major types of wireless protocols:

GSM and CDMA.

GSM is a sim-card based allowing phone portability, and exists on a world-wide market. The sim card contains your identity, and switching it into another phone causes your identity to follow.

CDMA is phone-based, meaning every phone has a unique ID that broadcasts to the tower. That ID (sort of like the VIN number on a car) exists on only your phone, and represents your ID on the network. This actually existed long before GSM and SIM-cards, and is at a bit of a disadvantage because you can't switch phones whenver you want. Your provider has to switch it for you.

Here in the US, we have both CDMA and GSM networks now, however CDMA has been around longer, and so it is still arguably the more common technology. Lately, GSM has been catching up, but over in Europe GSM has always been around and CDMA is virtually non-existant.

Living in Ireland, I beleive that all networks are GSM, which means SIM-card based. So, you probably didn't know that there were other types of technology that weren't compatible! If anything, we here in the US are "behind the times" because we're still using an antiquated ID system as opposed to SIM cards!

HTC makes a GSM version of these devices as well, which you should consider. They are known as the Tytn and the Kaiser (our Mogul/Titan sort of comes in between, although most closely resembling the Kaiser in hardware). Next time you want to buy a phone in the US, make sure its GSM and unlocked first!

Hope this clears things up!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pflatlyne:
You should have 30 days to send back the mogul and get out of your contract. The phone will not work outside of North America. Take a look at the HTC Kaiser,its also sold as the AT&T Tilt. Its a GSM device that is very similar to the Mogul.
