[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futbolprincess:
How else?

I don't have a heat gun, how else can I heat it? Also, excuse my ignorance, I'm new to phone thing since my Nexus 5x went into bootloop last week I've learned a lot, fast. Where exactly is the EMMC? How else can I heat it? I'm desperate to get this phone working as I just went overseas and Nexus won't send a replacement here :(

My attempt at the Rescue OTA fails in step 19, I can't get the device state to be "unlocked" does anyone know how to unlock it when the phone is in bootloop? (So all I really have access to is command prompt, which says I can't unlock the oem) HELP!?!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] cipri92:
A friend of mine updated his P9 via mobile hotspot and after the restart, the phone went into a bootloop. I tried a reset from recovery, same result. Tried updating it again 2 times from the SD card. Not a change.

Can someone, please, make a suggestion? Thanks.

[Sony Xperia E3] Bogdanpas:
I gave my e3 to my 8 years daughter but I forgot to setup the camera to put the photos on the sdcard. As you know e3 has little memory so she took a bunch of photos and now has 0(yes, zero ) internal memory available. The phone doesn't have a simcard so every time i reset it I recieve the language setup menu before complete bootup. The BIG problem is that I Can't go past this setup because I keep receiving '' the camera app stop working'' message. So, I'm unable to factory reset the phone. How can I do that? Sony Pc companion doesn't see it because isnt't fully initialized (I guess), EMMA can't do anything because booloader is locked. I'm unable to hard reset it from buttons (power vol up-vol down), I've got one vibration then another 3 but nothing happens. Don't know how much time should I keep the button pressed.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] bossman1st:
Is there a way to make my close program "x" button larger? I have tried HTC large title bar and that is nice but it doesn't cause the buttons to default bigger, it lets you touch buttons and pull up a window with the larger buttons. This works ok but i would rather just have larger icons there to start with.

On a side not thanks for the info on lock programs S2UL works great!

Only solution so far seems to be turning off power save and hoping that HTC fixes it soon

Keeping battery saver off is only solution. I don't use it at all, and I don't notice any real difference with battery drain.

That's what I have done so far as well.

As I understood, this is more of an android 7.0 issue, not HTC, so hopefully HTC will update the rom to latest build to get it fixed ?

I have recently purchased a second hand Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T377W) from kijiji in Canada, but, to my dismay the FRP has been tripped. I have tried to follow ashyx and rootJunkie but even with an otg cable I am not able to access the settings/browser.

I have searched everywhere (I can think of) but am unable to find a stock firmware. any assistance would be appreciated.

Device:

Name: Samsung Galaxy Tab E

Model: SM-T377W

F/W: MMB29K.T377WVLU2API2 (gtesltebmc)

Country: Canada

I'm not sure what other info is useful, so I will reply as prompted.

Thanks in advance
[XDA Assist] Sam Nakamura:
Hello and welcome to xda-assist,

FRP is a justified security measure to protect a stolen device, you surely know that..

XDA doesn't provide any help with bypassing security measures, best advice we can provide is to find a way to contact the original owner. Sorry but nothing we can do here to help.

Edit: even stock firmware won't reset the FRP, that's no option
[XDA Assist] IridianDesigns:
Sam,

Thank you for your reply. I do understand the reasoning behind FRP and its role in the security measures related to the theft of devices. I have checked the IMEI with the blacklist maintained by the network providers here. The device has not been reported lost or stolen, I can provide the IMEI in a pm, if independent verification would allay your concerns.

As I'm sure you're no doubt aware, any security measure implementation invariably imposes restriction on legitimate use cases. Whilst I'm sure the boffins at Samsung and related manufacturers went to great lengths to minimise the impact, it would appear that the scenario I find myself in was not one of them.

I essentially purchased the phone from an online classified ad system. Your advice to contact the original owner was, funnily enough, one of the first I explored. Unfortunately, the ad has since been removed along with the contact information. Since I, myself, was unaware of FRP until this, I can believe that the seller was unaware also, so I don't suspect nefarious intent.

I was not familiar with FRP when I purchased the phone, and believed that checking the IMEI would ensure it hadn't been stolen. I have since researched the topic and now have a passing understanding of its strengths and shortcomings. I have not in my research found an official method to disable it. If you are aware of one I would appreciate a link.

I find your claim that XDA doesn't provide any help with bypassing security measures a tad hypocritical, as a simple search of XDA's own forums for 'FRP bypass' will yield at least 10 pages of results and anything more than a cursory glance at the threads will demonstrate that hypocrisy.

Thank you for letting me know that the firmware avenue I was pursuing would be fruitless, at least I can stop chasing that particular white rabbit.

I shall continue to research and at worst, I will become the victim of an actual theft.

P.S. On a side note, XDA

IS

a valuable resource. Thanks for all your efforts Dev's, keep up the great works
[XDA Assist] Sam Nakamura:
As much as understand your frustration, I only have your words and can't verify if true :)

About hypocrisy, remember that xda is huge and there might be the threads you mentioned but xda is more than one person, some do have no issues with this or some threads might be just unreported to the mods..

I'm a private person, I'm not employed by xda-assist or xda-developers so I have to draw my personal line which basically is "can't verify - can't help" that's all, nothing personal..

I mean you just can't expect official xda support from xda for breaking FRP when even the manufacturer denies it.. and deep insight you know that

Anyways, good luck
[XDA Assist] IridianDesigns:
Again I thank you for your response Sam,

Please don't misinterpret, I am frustrated with the situation, a much deeper conversation than necessary in this venue, not with XDA.

I mentioned in my reply that Canada has a Cellular Blacklist, for precisely the purpose of providing an independent means to verify the legitimacy of a device, thus facilitating private trade with accountability. To address your concerns I offered the IMEI in order for you to conduct your own verification. Cellular Blacklists are not a concept unique to Canada.

I understand your personal stance and can respect a person who holds to their principles, especially when mine differ. I prefer to begin with trust until proven otherwise. I have been burned by that before though, hence checking the blacklist. I don't take it personally and I mean no disrespect to you.

As I mentioned in my reply, XDA is an excellent resource, with a great deal of knowledge and guidance from veterans for newbies like myself. I understand that XDA encompasses a much larger community than the official core XDA teams. It was to this community I was directing my question. Perhaps I erred by posting to the wrong forum, if so I apologise. I am aware of how lawsuit-happy many large companies tend to get.

In terms of the posts I mentioned, it was not a critique. As I had intended to address the community, I took your reply to encompass that. I was merely pointing out that whilst 'XDA Official' may disavow assistance, 'XDA Community' appears to embrace it. I in no way am trying to imply XDA endorses it.
[XDA Assist] Sam Nakamura:
As xda-assist team we do no technical support, we just help the folks out there to find there way thru the different boards here on xda, we help them to help themselves, to find information and learn how to do things by their own..

As you mentioned you already found different threads referring to FRP it's best to study them and ask questions there..

Maybe you're lucky and find a solution..

Anyways, I appreciated your understanding

Good luck

After doing some Google-ing and re-reading the AOSP instructions many times, I guessed that my META-INF folder was missing since I couldn't find it anywhere in my source tree nor output directory. So, I tried:

$ make dist

then

$ ./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files output_path/target_files.zip

That did produce an ota_update.zip, but when I tried to flash in TWPR it yielded the same error. This is with N4F260 vendor and android-7.1.1_r14 source branch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all

I am trying to figure out if I have a potentially failing battery. About how long do you get for battery life with moderate to light use none gaming with 6.0 stock or lineage for the t700? It looks like with even basic web browsing and reading I'm only seeing about 2 - 2.5 hours usage screen on (just browser really) approximately before my battery is dead.

Hi,

I am about to buy this phone so I was wondering what is the difference between F3111, F3113 and F3115? Which one is better? I am from Europe (because I think that is main reason why there is 3 bands).

Reason why I am asking this is because I have Xperia E3 D2203. In Xperia E3 forum there is ROMs made just for D2203 model and rest of models are not supported. I understand difference between single SIM and dual SIM, it is normal to be different.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bawdy George:
I have now worked with 4 Thor devices - two I've owned for quite a while and 2 I've purchased used as media streamers for friends. Every one of them reboots itself with screen autorotation on when using either the kk-fire-nexus-rom or the CM-11 for Safestrap ROM. It doesn't always happen immediately, but always within a few minutes of use. None of the LP, MM, or N-based custom ROMs I've tried have ever done this. I'd ideally like to load one of those KK-based ROMs for bluetooth support.

I've prepared each tablet the same way, every time (starting point was always FireOS 4.5.5.1):

1. Root the device and then copy the custom ROM to it

2. Grab the serial/manfid

3. Flash TWRP (either 3.0.2.0 or 3.0.0.1) and the vulnerable bootloader with the dd command

4. Successfully unlock the bootloader

5. From TWRP, wipe everything except internal storage, then install the ROM

6. Wipe cache/dalvik, reboot

This is driving me nuts, since I see users so satisfied with these KK ROMs and little mention of this as an issue. Can anyone see what I'm missing? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Intriguing - I used this ROM for nearly a year as my daily driver; rock solid with frequent rotations over hundreds of hours. That device (and all other HDXs in my portfolio) never saw FireOS v4; bootloader unlock occured while still on v3. Will be giving this some thought over the next few days.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bawdy George:
Thanks for the reply. Odd, huh? Though... I did just try ggow's 4.05 ROM and that one autorotates just fine on the Thor I'm currently working on. I'll probably just go with that one or the newer with locked rotation. They're both solid, support Xposed, and app compatibility isn't an issue for my use cases... yet. If only BT wasn't such a challenge on later versions, as that LineageOS ROM is looking really really good...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mr McBoatface:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
as far as i know, unless you're rooted, you won't be able to change to another dialer. i tried that with my S7 on 6.0 and the phone wouldn't let me use another dialer.

In Nougat you can set default apps (maybe in prior Android versions too) just like you can set different apps as your default launcher. Lots of different Launchers out there instead of Touch Wiz. I'm just looking for some folks who have experience or suggestions for better contact/dialer apps

right, i know you could set default apps for some stuff, but i tried that in 6.0 and couldn't figure it out. asked some questions and pretty much was told i was **** out of luck unless i was rooted. also, the dialers i installed wouldn't even run on my S7. i dunno. if they fixed it in Nougat, then that's great. the stock ones do suck, i agree.

The Material Black dialer is a nice theme - much better for me than stock so I've been using it. The default contact thing is a PITA since the last number I dial depends on whether my contacts are at work or home so it's an extra step to use. It would have been easy for Samsung to show all numbers for contacts but typically Samsung never cares about customer needs or usability.
