If you cannot boot into recovery or download mode, then it is likely you have a hardware problem that is not recoverable. What do you mean by "resetting it"? Factory reset?

From here, your best option is getting yourself a usb jig. You can get them cheap from ebay or aliexpress. If you can get the device into download mode with the jig, you can try to flash your regions firmware with odin. If this fails, then you probably need a new motherboard.

I had the Honor 6x set to unlock on Fingerprint. But after I removed it, it defaulted to enter in the PIN Number. I wanted to change back to None (Swipe to Unlock) but it is now grayed out. It says it is blocked by Administrator or Credentials. I went in there and cleared out the credentials, but still only had the unlock option for pattern, PIN, and password.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] kdark:
fingerprints only works with PIN or password
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
Yes, I know that.

I removed the fingerprint and wanted to return to Swipe to unlock (None). But it is grayed out and only has the option for PIN, Pattern and Password.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] kdark:

there r 4 options

1. none

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
I KNOW! That is the point, but the option for None is grayed out, when it wasn't before.

Hmm, only have Gmail on it, nothing else.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Andromeda_Station:
Weird...I have two (BLN-L24), they are set up totally differently from each other and 'none' is not selectable on either of them.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] oae08:
Well if you are not using fingerprint or corporate email, i can't think of any reason why it should be disbaled. If it really bothers you try reseting the phone and it should be working again. Then when you are setting up the phone again check at every step if this disables the unlock method
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
I was able to get it to work again by going into Reset Settings and doing that.

I had to redo my phone settings, which took about 10 min, but the Lock Screen is now back to None (swipe to unlock).
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] oisinf123:
Hi,

So I've been using the Moto G for over a year now, and the attery is starting to give less and less usage per charge. Naturally, this demands faster charging speeds. I've read online that the Moto G3's in-box charger is very slow (now, no plug came with my Moto G3, just a USB cable). I've always used the plug from the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 (my previous phone), which is very good, but I'm wondering if my in-box cable is slowing down the charge coming to my phone, as the phone can take up to 2A from my power bank, but I believe only 1A from the cable.

Is this the problem?

Thanks.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] rubiicon59:
I'd say the lead, if not faulty, makes no difference to the charge rate. But it's easy enough to use another and compare charge times.

If your G is still working fine in all aspects you may think of buying a new battery. If you do, make sure it's genuine OEM, there's tons of cheap crap that you should steer clear of.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] chungomungo1:
I use different usb cables in different rooms to charge my Moto G 2015 Osprey and best charging speed is with the usb cable that came with mobile.. You need to try a different charger plug . also make sure cablke is not bent or broken or demaged.

If Battery is starting to give less and less usage per charge then it is not a charger issue it is a bettery issue. You need to calliberate your battery. Let battery go down to 1% and then fully charge without any interuption . This make improve it slightly .
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheHow7zer:
Hey folks, I am Canadian that is looking to possibly import an MI5 but I figured I should find out a few things from you all that have been living with these phones for a while before buying.

Are there any hardware or software issues with the MI5 that I should be concerned about? I have a sony z3 compact right now and it's been infamous for vibration motors, headphone jacks, and screen failures. It also has no AOSP based daily drivers.

Development seems to be pretty active here, is that actually true? Are developers dropping off from this phone or is there still a steady amount of work being done?

From the lurking I've done it seems that unlocking, rooting and ROM installing is pretty easy. Are there any permanent dangers to doing these hacks (above and beyond the usual)?

I'm aware there is some camera quality issues on non-stock ROMs, is the camera still usable? How is the battery on custom ROMs?

Is there anything preventing this phone from being a daily driver when using a custom ROM like RR? Does the fingerprint sensor work on AOSP ROMs?

I am also aware of the radio bands the MI5 supports, I should be fine with that as my imported Z3 Compact has the same bands (as far as I can tell).

Edit: I was also wondering if the IR blaster works on custom ROMs!

Thanks for reading, answering and putting up with my ignorance. I'm just looking for some answers I couldn't find on this forum when I was searching yesterday.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] xdadevet:
Community is happy to help :)

1. Hardware wise you have to keep in mind the phone is fairly fragile. Low light performance of the camera is a bit poor. Audio out of the headphone jack isn't great on stock MIUI, but that can be fixed with Viper4Arise or any AOSP ROM. RAM management and general performance on MIUI is "ok" - but the phone is blazing fast on AOSP + CAF. There is no component that is prone to fail that I am aware of, but I have read of the occasional hard-brick triggered from nothing more than a reboot on custom ROMs - this can be solved by flashing stock ROM in EDL mode.

2. There seems to be a steady amount of development going on - we just got the drop on about 7 new ROMs in the last month. However, there are and have been developers leaving in favour of the One Plus 3, and development is only moderate compared to its forum.

3. It's fairly easy, but a bit frustrating getting the bootloader unlock from Xiaomi, as it usually takes about 5 days for the unlock to be approved and then 5 more days for it to actually work. There is also a possible driver issue on Windows which can prevent unlocking, so if you're stuck that's probably the case. Except for the above mentioned possible hard-brick there are no additional dangers, and dare I say less so than other phones I worked on.

4. The camera is usable on custom ROMs but considerably worse. Mainly there is a lot more noise in the photos, but detail remains high. Video recording seems to be broken on most AOSP ROMs, but alternative camera apps are apparently a work around. In my experience battery life is better on custom ROMs as they have functional Doze on Nougat, but not by much.

5. Fingerprint sensor works fine on custom ROMs, even better if you consider that you can wake + unlock your phone without pressing the button. There have been reports of some people experiencing slow fingerprint scanning on custom ROMs (3-4s). I use a custom ROM as my DD and I don't have any major issues except video recording that I haven't yet bothered to address.

I hope that this information finds you well. The Mi5 isn't perfect, but I'd be damned to say that a better phone exists for $200. The camera, battery life, performance, screen, audio, and design is good and there really isn't much to worry about.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheHow7zer:
Thank you so much for the detailed response! Greatly appreciated!

This all is reminding me of the fun I had with AOSP ROMs back on my Galaxy SIII, happy thoughts! (I've been stuck in Sony's software for too long!)

What is CAF?

Is the IR blaster working in AOSP-based ROMs?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] xdadevet:
It's a pleasure :)

Well then it's good to know they run brilliantly on the Mi5 (buttery smooth UI, and I get good numbers on benchmarks as testament, see attached pics).

CAF is short for Code Aurora Forums, a collection of companies that merge their updated driver code with the vanilla AOSP code from Google.

I don't know if the IR blaster works on AOSP as I currently don't have any devices on me to test it with. I could try this weekend when I get home.

Edit: I've since arrived home and can confirm the IR blaster works on AOSP. I used Anymote if you're interested.

Which Android version are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] iiCarelessness:
6.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Ragazzza:
That is the reason, you need to be on 5.1 Lollipop to flash that ROM :)

All you can do now is flash stock ROM, and start all over
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] iiCarelessness:
AH, so, can I downgrade to 5.1, then flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Ragazzza:
Sure thing fam, you can, download ODIN, and go to sammobile.com and choose 5.1 Lollipop for your country, and flash it. Root you phone after that and install twrp then flash the RR ROM, it will work, good luck

And next time, read the thread better before flashing ROM, next time it could be worst. :D

Can't use 5.1.1 on my J500FN at all, which is disappointing.

The ROM just hangs on the boot logo, even after I've cleaned system, cache, and data.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
1) Go to recovery and wipe /system , /data , /cache and dalvik-cache

2) Power off the phone (from recovery).

3) Boot in Download mode and flash the Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware you want.

3) Wait until phone boots succesfully. Then you can flash TWRP for Lollipop 5.1.1: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468844 .

Always do the step 1) before upgrading / downgrading Android version, but also when reflashing stock rom with same Android version.

I use Android Messages. Google just changed the name of their messenger app. But I love it because it's fast easy to use and handles everything I need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mpeclipse03:
Just out of curiosity, does any 3rd party messaging app support texting over WiFi? I know the stock Samsung one does, but would something like Android Messenger or Textra work using T-Mobile? I never knew if this was an app-specific feature or if it was related to the network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Guatiao:
Some do, but as far as I know it's carrier dependent.

As to my original post, I still haven't decided on an app. Textra was real good on my old phone, so it's either it or Google Messages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Corwinder:
No one mentioned it but I've used Chomp for years. Texting over wifi works 90% of the time. Not sure why it doesn't work all the time but my wife uses the stock app while I use Chomp. Neither of us have any complaints.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferg8080:
I've now started to see issues on my Tab S 8.4 such as flickering and reboots esp when the battery gets low. I've see a few videos on opening the Tab S up and I'm a bit puzzled. When I look at my tab S the bezel is raised above the screen and there is absolutely no gap between either so how the hell are they managing to get plastic slices in between the screen and bezel?

But if I turn my Tab S around to see the back cover I can get my finger nail under the back cover and separate it from the bezel easily so my question is why not take the back cover off instead as it seems to be a lot easier. I haven't tried it just in case I damage something. But really is getting under the screen definitely the correct way to get to the battery?

Hi all, long time, Happy New Year.

I have an old IIi that I would like to try and get up and running again. The problem is ( and why it's on the shelf ) the power button is unresponsive, it doesn't push in, come out, it's sort of 'stuck' Has anyone seen this before, if so, any ideas on how to get around / fix this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I know there are a few threads on here, but being a novice, I was hoping one of you would be kind enough to walk me through a flash RUU or what ever you think is best.

It went wrong randomly when I turned on my phone, boot loop consistently ever since :( It is standard with Android 6 on 02 network in the UK.

I have cleared the cache and factory reset the phone, but still stuck in the boot loop.

I can boot into android recovery and boot loader, but this is 100% standard set up no twrp etc installed before this issue.:(

I have noticed in recovery mode its failed to open

E:/sys/devices/platform/andriod_usb/host_mode

in htc download mode

file /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip file not found

unfortunately the phone is well out of warranty now, being 20 months old,

being a complete novice in unix, i am ok in windows, (comptia certified don't laugh :P)

So I am up for learning something new and trying to fix this
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Ok, the bad new first. I can tell you that your system partition is borked so the nand is dead. Seeing as the phone is stock we can confirm outright that you haven't caused it.

The good news is that if you're on a 2 year contract amd your phone was part of the deal, which you probably are because the 1 year rule has only just started.. Your phone warranty lasts for the entire contract length in the uk. That means your carrier should take it in for repair if you are still within your contract.

You might want to call O2 or stop by the O2 shop. I'd also recommend you arm yourself with the consumer protection act first too. It might also be covered by "provision of service". No phone means no service = no contract.

The most important fact is that they must prove it isn't faulty so don't let them turn you away without at least a threat of trading standards.

You can also call the consumer advice line for all the info you need to return your phone for repair.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spad5351:
Thanks for the reply,

I'll pop to the O2 shop today and see what happens.

I did always wonder how they made you have a 24 month contract but only guaranteed the phone for 12

I'll let you know what happens :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sikica133:
So I've decided to play a bit with nougat on my honor, again, but due to imo massive bugs, went back. Now it's bricked. Shouldnt have played with twrps.

Had 3.0.3 twrp and wiped data. Could be what caused my issues. Seems my system partition is now wiped too.

Status is as follows. BL is unlocked. I can freely flash recovery's, however only ones that actually boot are twrp rec's for nougat.

No way to flash /cust and /system though fastboot, shows errors. Tried flashing boot/recovery/recovery2/cust/system from MM rollback package, only first 3 were flashed.

Dload method goes to 50% then cuts off.

Any hints?

EDIT:

Well, solved it. Seems not all stock recoveries work the same. I kept on using ones within rollback update.app since they worked before, but guess in this scenario they caused dload method to fail. Rolling back to oldest stock recovery for my model seems to do the trick and dload went all the way!

Can be closed!
