I myself did create a second bootpartition on my PC with XP. So, now when I startup, I can choose between my main OS (Vista) or the second one (XP).

It is called dualboot. It is a bit of a hassle to set up if Vista is already installed, but the advantage is that XP runs native, without any emulation.

Here it is described very punctual: http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=rho4r4287rcptee39sv57rm0f3&topic=26.msg43#msg43

i use VMware Workstation, this program has full usb support and i have had no problems with it. just make sure you install the vmtools and dont plug in your phone until you have loaded XP fully and have it full screen.

this i found is the best way for things to happen (updates etc). also usful for bios updates since VISTA doesn't work fully yet
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. As I said, it gave me a hassle too, but nothing I couldn't fix with the help of the instructions.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
You are right, this is a way to get things going with Vista. The downgrade of the USB drivers makes it possible to flash "traditional", I'm doing that succesfully from April last year. But to use a RUU, is a different cup of tea.

The VistaRUU you use is for G3 only.... you've guessed, my device is G4....

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iridaki:
Download the font file from here, rename it to whatever name your phone uses for the emoji font, copy it to /system/fonts, adjust permissions and restart.

Also, you don't need a rooted phone to copy the file. I'm not rooted and I browsed /system and uploaded the font file to Drive using the Amaze File Explorer app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] slutman:
Thank you very much for the file :) I'll try it.

Good to know about the Amaze File Explorer app. I tried with the one on stock but couldn't access /system.

[EDIT] : Perfect, the file is working like a charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iridaki:
Yeah, stock file manager only shows internal storage and SD card. The /system is actually read-only, so you can access it and copy files from it, you just have to use a third party app. Enjoy the Samsung emojis, cheers!

then i flashed it from cm10 to cm14 through this topic : https://xdaforums.com/nook-tablet/development/cm-14-1-nook-tablet-acclaim-16gb-model-t3499226 (because all roms seems not to be downloaded now but this one)

and it was bricked.:crying: recovery shows a flashing text "no command". so i flashed the recovery, in recovery mode i cannot wipe to factory, it said "failed to locate device "/dev/block/mmcblk0p11", no matter cwm or twrp.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] anandbibek:
This is due to lockscreen and Homescreen wallpaper. If you set HS + LS wallpaper both from Nova launcher, the LS shows up for a split second after unlocking. Don't set both together, set HS first, then set LS. You can set same pic or LWP. That shouldn't make a difference.

Personally a Nova user, I don't know if this happens on other launcher too, but I guess I had to put it up here since there are so many Nova users around here. Even in Android Police youtube video I saw this lag present, and Nova was being used.

Hope that helps someone. Cheers.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdossi:
Hi,

I have a simple question which I have not found any explicit answers so far.

I have a Galaxy S4 I9505, I can install any kind of official firmware or even optimized ones based on official firmwares like Omega, Imperium (the last official version is 5.0.1)

I can flash any recovery (TWRP, CWM) with ODIN on it.

But what I cannot do is to flash any Custom ROM like CM, LineageOS.

I tried many of them, of course the ones specific to I9505, but each time it ends the same way, the flash of the ROM+GApps with TWRP ends succesfully, the phone reboots, it passes the Samsung logo, then the custom animated logo starts (a bubble going from right to left for Lineage) and that's it, it hangs at that point, I can wait for 20mn, nothing happens.

Do you think it can be related to the bootloader which could be locked? I've read that unlocking the bootloader is not an option when you want to install a Custom ROM. But I've also read that for flashing a recovery tool, the bootloader should be unlocked, so if it is locked, how can I flash and run recovery tools whithout any problem?

I tried to unlock it with adb but the prompt always shows : "waiting for device"

I also noticed that when I plug my phone in debubgging mode, the popup saying "Allow USB debugging" never pops up.

Any clue?

Thx
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
1) Wrong section. This is for ROM/kernel development.

2) Your bootloader is unlocked, otherwise you would have had a hard time doing the things you did.

3) "Cannot flash any ROM" and "Cannot boot a ROM" are different things.

Post the exact model of your phone, because I don't believe it's a straight GT-I9505.

Mine is a GT-I9505 and it runs perfectly fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdossi:
in fact you are ....right, it is a I9505X (demo unit), I did not think that it would be a relevant information as it seems to be opened enough to do many things. And also after searching for hours, I saw no assertion saying that these kind of phones are locked for custom roms.

And you are right about the confusion on the title, my bad
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killermenpl:
Did you try to wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP? It looks to me like that's the issue. But the fact that you have a slightly different model might also cause it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
If you did everything correctly (wipe data, cache, system etc) and it still doesn't boot, then it may only be because of the fact that it is a demo unit.

The gapps can also cause your problem, so try booting without gapps.

You can also try the GPE ROMs. I think they have parts of the TouchWiz framework, so they might boot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdossi:
I did all kind of wipes before and dalvik+cache right after (the one proposed by default by TWRP after a successful flash)

I've never heard of GPE ROMs, I'll give a try
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdossi:
After a quick look, I don't see any GPE/Marshmallow or GPE/Nougat ROM, the last version seems to be 5.1 which is (almost) what I have with Omega 42.1 (=5.0.1)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdossi:
So I guess this is already a dead thread, no one has ever been interested to update his S4 live demo unit to a lollipop higher version..very strange
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robcore:
Take this to q and a and you'll have better luck. Most of us don't have demo units, though, so no you probably won't find much interest in a situation that is very specific to you.
[Remix OS for PC] gopinathms2012:
I run a desktop with fairly simple config and a 450W Power supply

I dualboot windows (installed on HardDisk)& Remix OS(installed on Flash Drive)

If i boot the machine with remix OS from a flash drive , will the power consumption be low?
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
Perhaps, but not necessarily.

It also depends on how well Remix OS supports your hardware.

450W should be more than enough, especially if your config isn't demanding. However I think that if the box shows 450W it's more likely that you actually have ~360W, due to general inefficiencies of power supplies.

I personally have a 400W supply (in reality, 320W), and my setup, while in total would not be the simplest as I have 4 hard drives installed (and I would have put more had there been space), when running I only connect 1-2 hard drives, so it is rather simple (no dedicated GPU yet, as I do not play any video games, nor am I going to).

And that is not true dualbooting, if you are changing the boot device via the BIOS.

I run a number of Linux distros (and sometimes also Remix OS), and my setup is not a true multiboot setup either, as OS has it's own copy of the bootloader installed on the same hard drive as itself.
[Remix OS for PC] gopinathms2012:
Thanks

so , if i run windows and Remix on same drive ,its dualbooting?
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
Yes, and with the same bootloader (either GRUB or Windows's bootloader).

You'll have to edit the bootloader's configuration for that.

There are threads on this subforum which can help you with that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrickOfNexus:
I've dealt with a few bricked phones in the past that have been a simple fix through ADB/Recovery, but this one really perplexes me.

So I get work, place my phone on the desk, and a few minuets into the day I see it re-boot out of the corner of my eye. It's not something to be expected but this has happened a few time over the 5 months I've had this phone so I think nothing of it.

But 5 minuets later its still looping on the Google logo. So hold down the sleep button to shut it down, still loops. The only thing I have done to this phone is unlock the bootloader through the command prompt and install a stock Nougat image straight from Google

Using the hardware keys I can get into the the bootloader, but that's it. "Recovery Mode" option sends the phone back into a loop so I can't reset the phone to factory (though ideally I would like to save the thousands of photos on the device) or enable USB Debugging as I can't get into Android.

I have Googles Android USB Driver installed, Windows 10 chimes when I plug it in, It appears in Device Manager as "Android Bootloader Interface" but I have not been able to get it to show in the terminal with ADB. I have also tried on a Windows 7 and OSX Laptop.

I am completely dumbfounded, any help/ideas would be amazing!

Thank you

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Unfortunately [MENTION=4550510]5.1[/MENTION] is right. The common denominator of the BLOD (many threads on this) is the inability to get into recovery mode by any means. ADB doesn't work unless in recovery. Without ADB you will not be able to pull anything off the phone. At least you are unlocked so you can try some tools and/or manually attempt to fastboot boot or fastboot flash a custom recovery and get ADB working, but chances are almost non-existent. Some ppl have been able to briefly get back into recovery on completely full charge, but it seems to start boot looping again shortly afterwards from recovery. Hopefully you were using Photos and synced recently. If you bought direct from Google, contact them even if out of warranty. If they won't help you or you didn't buy from Google, approach Huawei for an RMA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I was in your situation and was able to flash the full stock image (flash-all.bat command) even though my device didn't show up on ABD--but maybe I just got lucky. I thought there was no chance it would work but it did. Some people reported getting out of the boot loop using Skipsoft's tool but most likely you will need to RMA the device if it's still under warranty from Huawei. Sorry to hear you have been added to this club. There are a lot of lemon 6Ps that die because of hardware issues (according to Google) and they clearly don't care because they never recalled the affected devices. I was hoping it was just the early generation phones but if yours is 5 months old that means the problem is persisting. None of these things might still be running in a couple years which is ridiculous for a premium phone. Makes you think twice about buying another phone from Google since they threw 6p owners under the bus rather than offering 6P owners a credit or something for their defective 6Ps. Good luck. At this point I think people need to create a class action suit against Google. That's the only way people got repairs or compensation from Apple the numerous times they pulled stuff like this with defective products. Why should Google get away with selling what they themselves admit is a defective phone?

What I did (I think)

Downloaded Odin on PC

Downloaded and installed SuperSU on Grand Prime via Odin

Downloaded and ran CF-Auto-Root on Grand Prime via Odin

Downloaded Kingroot App on Grand Prime

Downloaded Root Checker App on Grand Prime Downloaded GwizRomSM-G530TV1.1 on PC and copied extracted files to Grand Prime.

What happened

Tripped Knox

Having trouble rooting

Root apps get blocked

Not sure how to proceed.

If it were up to me I would take my lumps and walk away but I have a new job as the Materials Handler for a ten story hotel remodel and my boss is getting PO'd because I don't always hear the ringer and the reception is terrible and the wifi is spotty so using it to take notes or search the web is a nightmare.

I'm worried I'm going to get fired so I need to unlock my Grand Prime so I can move to a different carrier and not wind up living in my van with my wife and four year old son.
