[Blu Vivo 5] Letrix:
Hello.

Actually, my device is charging very slow (10-12 h. full). It began to happen after doing a 'Format All' on SP Flash Tool for flashing Stock ROM.

This could be the reason of this?.

I started monitoring the charging with 'Ampere' app and the max. of charging is 150 mA (sometimes) with the official charger.

Any way to solve this? I already tried with calibrating the battery but still same.

Thanks
[Blu Vivo 5] trem77:
Try with a new cable. I had same issue and was fixed with a new Type C cable.
[Blu Vivo 5] Letrix:
Okay. I will try.

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jacobdu215:
Hello Everyone.

The Blu R1 HD, in my opinion has great specs in terms of performance. However one thing that keeps me from using it as my primary phone is the battery. I use my phone quite a bit and unfortunately, unless I put the R1 HD on power saving mode the entire day, it wont last me till 1. I dont want to bring a battery pack every day to school either (I do use my phone for class too). So I know officially theres no way to replace the battery, but unofficially, is there a way I can get a higher capacity battery for this phone?

How to install new stock .tar file? ODIN 3.12 says "Download BL + AP + CP + HOME_CSC

I did download G935PVPS4APK1_SPT4APK1_SPR_Sprint_USA_6.0.1 which does contain files that start with AP_, BL_, CP_, CSC_SPT, HOME_CSC_SPT.

These match with the ODIN sections which I was previously advised never to flash.

What are each of these? Should I actually flash them? Should I flash them in a certain order? I always get fail when I try to install (may need to run as admin).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
If your download is zipped, extract the tar.md5 file and load in AP slot.

You've downloaded a S7 Edge file but posted in Note 4 forum. Check your model number and make sure you're flashing the right stock tar. Note 4 has stock tar thread in general forum for Note 4.

Even the Sprint S7E uses a full stock tar.md5 file to flash in AP slot per Sammobile. The dialogue you're seeing in the newer Odin is used for other purposes like recovering phone. Maybe other models use that or it's another option for flashing native csc on international phone but Sprint phones would normally use the full tar.md5 in AP slot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerchucker:
Thanks for the response and catch that this is S7 ROM. It never flashed (failed in ODIN) and I ended up d/l the Sprint N4 PK1 which led to a successful Note 7 install.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerchucker:
So my son upgraded from N4 to S7E and the N4 sat for 6 months or so. After leaving a batter connected to it for a day (I just walked away, I did not count time) or so, it turned on.

What is with this? Do components need to absorb electricity after long period of none?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I've read others post that they've had to pull battery for a while to get it to boot when there's the symptoms of either bad battery or eMMC failure. I don't think it's definitively confirmed eMMC failure but I think it's at least an indicator of trouble. If it's battery going bad, I'd be weary of bad battery contributing to eMMC failure. Any time a battery becomes unpredictable, like shutting down before it teaches 0%, I replace it and stop using it.

You're describing the opposite. Maybe bad power switch or bad battery or bad contacts. Was the battery original? New? Fully charged? Was it charging during this time you left it alone and later found it would boot?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerchucker:
Thanks for the response. I did eventually get the phone booted up and it's now running the Note 7 software nicely. Boots fine. Kinda seems like the 'electronics' need to absorb the electricity after no battery connected for sometime.
[General Questions and Answers] KYKYLLIKA:
So a while ago I grabbed a Motorola G2, made a complete physical memory dump to file “Full_Phone_Backup.image” I also have a .vhd which will not mount, but I remember very clearly extracting the contacts list from it.

I didn’t keep records of how I went about doing it, but I’m sure it was some busybox or cygwin and I’m very sure the file contains all the partitions. Don’t know what happened to .vhd, but I also can’t make a new one either, so bad luck I guess. Anyway, now I need to extract SMS messages from it, and so I turned to Foremost. With the following in a foremost-db.conf:

db	n	4000000	\x53\x51\x4c\x69\x74\x65\x20\x66\x6f\x72\x6d\x61\x74\x20\x33\x00

I hoped to get a good rundown of the databases and extract from there. Now, I don’t need deleted messages or anything, I need to find the SMS messages that would be there as if the phone was on right now. Well, that and search them.

So, Foremost carved a whooping 36 GiB of .db files, which I think suggests that the file header is actually not for SQLite 3 file as much as for a part of SQLite3 file, and one file may contain many. Secondary evidence of that is that massive number of files contain the same data shifted a more or less uniform number of lines (like an entire block shifted 1k lines down across 10 files before it completely disappears).

Anyway, from the carved DB files I got meaningful e-mail messages, from the carved photos and videos, I got meaningful pictures (ones which would be on this phone), so I am sure data is there. Problem is, I could not find the messages I’m looking for. I was unable to find a single SMS message, I was unable to browse any of the recovered databases with sqlite database browsers, and the most useful thing I was able to do was to use Ransack in windows to search for relevant text in those recovered files.

What am I doing wrong that I’m not finding SMS messages or any relevant text in this mess?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can't get into the phone and use SMS backup app or PC to backup your SMS? Can you back them up to your Google account and then recover them from there?

There are several ways to recover SMS from a device, is this method the only one you've tried?

Are you recovering your SMS or someone else's?
[General Questions and Answers] andy_ross:
How did you make this Backup.image? In my question over here I dreamt of something like 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/image.bak' for a really complete backup. Did you make your complete memory dump in such a way and would i be possible to write it back to the phone?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] KYKYLLIKA:
This is my sister’s phone. The backup is from 16 months back or so. I can’t go search the SMS it has now, because updates been around since then, including a new version of android, and all that. It does not have the old messages.

What I tried is a sqlite forensics utility called “sqlite forensics reporter”, but no luck with that either. Piriform recuva did not work, and I was unable to mount it as a virtual hard drive or find a part of it that I could mount as a virtual hard drive.

This is entirely possible. However, I cannot find the boot record in there or a partition table, which is very strange. I do remember dumping all the partitions in that file, though. It’s been over a year now, so details kind of gone fuzzy. I am sure I could write it back to a phone and use like that, but I don’t have a suitable surrogate phone or a virtual machine to try that on. I will not do it on the device itself, seeing as how it’s in use and all that. I just want to find the text of some messages.
[XDA Assist] Reroll4Lucina:
Hello, so I have tried following this guide and I am currently at part 8, but my phone is not rooted. In my notifications tab, I have SuperSU Installer telling me to Tap to Install SuperSU and root my device, however I don't know if I'm supposed to as the guide I'm following says that after I reboot I should be rooted.

Thanks.
[XDA Assist] xanthrax:
Hi !

you may have missed this step in red letters " If TWRP gives you a warning about the su binaries missing and asks if you want to install thee su binaries before you reboot

SELECT NO

or it will interfere with the rooting process of the SuperSU.zip."

Try again

Also you may ask in the thread as well

Good luck !

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dicksteele:
I've tested a great many ROMs on XDA as well as other sites.

Some are not allowed to be posted on XDA because they violate the rules. Mostly because modifications were done to ROMs that were posted on XDA without permission, and released on other sites.

A few of those ROMs use a very awesome customization app called RomControl.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-rom-control-app-devs-t3146567

If you happen to run across a ROM that uses RomControl and it is not in English, I've translated the xml files to english.

I AM NOT PROVIDING THE ROMCONTROL.APK OR ROMS !!

All the files are in zip files called xml.zip and values.zip at the links below. They will need to be extracted.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862706088

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120711022

The RomControl.apk will need to be decompiled and the files in the xml directory ( C:\path to your\AdvancedApkTool\3-Out\RomControl.apk\res\xml ) will be replaced with my files in the xml.zip file I posted.

The directory path above is what AdvancedApkTool uses.

Then extract the values.zip and place those files in the ( C:\path to your\AdvancedApkTool\3-Out\RomControl.apk\res\values )

Then recompile the apk.

I use this [Tool]Advanced ApkTool v4.2.0 by [MENTION=5078388]BDFreak[/MENTION] to decompile apk's

https://xdaforums.com/sho....php?t=2639400

This thread is not to promote those other ROMs or sites. This is merely an offering of the time I spend to translate all the menu items, options etc. to English.

So IF you run across a ROM that has RomControl, and it's options and menus are not in English, you can have it up and running in English in less than 15 minutes.

This is an advanced effort. You will need to know how to decompile and recompile an apk and add it to your phone.

AGAIN, these files are only to be used on a copy of a RomControl.apk that is not in English. And the ROM must support RomControl.

I WILL NOT be answering questions on how to do that.

This quide below shows many possibilities for RomControl

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799050

It does require a lot of work.

If this thread turns into a trainwreck with people asking questions I said I will not answer, I will have it closed.

I WILL NOT be answering questions of where to get other ROMs that support this.

I've said the THREE times on this one page.

It took me a long time to do this. I may have missed one or two. Hopefully not. If you find something. Decompile the apk, find the area it's used in and fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] paul2112:
Here it goes (no root required):

1. Enable developer mode:

a. Go to settings

b. Scroll down to about phone

c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted

2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers

a. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

3. Enable USB Debugging

a. Go to settings

b. Go down to developer options

c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on

d. Connect phone with USB to PC

4. Get into ADB shell

a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)

b. Run:

adb shell

5. Enable the bypass

a. Disable the DUN requirement

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

b. Overwrite the DUN APN

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"

6. Turn off Mobile Data

7. Turn on HotSpot

8. Turn on Mobile Data (The order is important for DNS to work properly)

Alternative 5-8: w/ static DNS

5.b (Does not attempt to replace default active APN at start)

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,dun"

This one can also be tried if data does not work on the phone during hotspot:

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,dun

(the extra default in there should keep the phone on data, but no guarantee)

6. Turn on Hotspot

7. On your devices, you might have to set a custom DNS server:

a. Google DNS: Google DNS Guide

b. OpenDNS: OpenDNS Guide

Sprint's IP's are:

68.28.31.30
68.28.31.31

c. If you must also specify a static ip, use:

IP: 192.168.43.XXX , where XXX is between 2 and 254
Gateway: 192.168.43.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 or /24
DNS 1: 68.28.31.30
DNS 2: 68.28.31.31

To revert:

settings put global tether_dun_required 1
settings put global tether_dun_apn null

Notes:

Line 5.b:

For

"name,apn,proxy,port,username,password,server,mmsc,mmsproxy,mmsport,mcc,mnc,auth,type"

Alternative line 5.b (you can run the command again, and yes the first part is required in []):

[ApnSettingV3] carrier/Name,apn,proxy,port,user,password,Unused/server,mmsc,mmscproxy,mmscport,mcc/part1,mcc/part2,authType,types[],protocol,roamingProtocol,carrierEnabled,bearer,profileId,modemCognitive,maxConns,waitTime,maxConnsTime,mtu,mvnoType,mvnoMatchData
[ApnSettingV3] SprintDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default|mms|supl|dun,ipv4,ipv4,true,0,,false,0,0,0,,,

For types[], you can use default|dun|mms , separated by the pipe " | " for multiples. I'm not sure what is needed but you can test around. If you get an error about subscription then likely you put in a malformed string. For the mvno (prepaid) probably the last two are gid and 4E or something like that (0,0,0,,gid,4E) ; see your APN info

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] paul2112:
I do not think so, but it won't hurt. The thing is since the type is "DUN" it should rely on the other APNs for MMS which is the only other thing that's typically setup by the APN. You could try turning on hotspot and sending/receiving MMS. Btw the one in the post is for Sprint.

Are you on Sprint? Can you ping from connected devices (e.g., ping 4.2.2.1 )?

Upon further investigation, it seems like the DNS server doesn't work in the hotspot, so you'll have to override it.

Restart your phone, then:

1. Disable mobile data

2. Turn on hotspot (wait a sec for it to start up and let something connect)

3. Turn on mobile data
