[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
I had read that before about the unlocked phones being on a quarterly update schedule. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. It SHOULD be drastically more simple to get the updates out for unlocked devices, if for no other reason than they don't have to go through the carriers. No testing/integrating carrier crapware, etc. And in principle, it's ridiculous to screw people who paid full price for their unlocked phones in hopes of getting updates faster because of my last statement. Now us here who have just flashed this firmware on our sprint phones maybe don't have as much of a leg to stand on as people who did pay full price for an unlocked phone, but it still defies logic that Samsung wouldn't update a more expensive, unlocked phone more frequently than quarterly. Heck, I've still got 2 S5s, one my wife is using, and one spare for me, and they are still getting monthly security updates! Just got another one yesterday. So how does samsung reconcile the fact that they religiously update a 3 year old phone monthly, but can't update an unlocked current flagship phone more often than quarterly??? I've tried to play devil's advocate and defend Samsung on this, but I can't come up with much justification. The only remote reason I can find is that the user base for the unlocked phones is no doubt small compared to the user base of carrier phones. And I guess since the unlocked phones have to work on all US carriers, there's probably some more work involved in making sure updates work properly on all carriers, instead of just one. But still, people paid a premium for an unlocked phone. They should get premium support.

That's good ole Samsung for you. Lockin bootloaders and ignoring the customer. They keep on this path and they'll be apple in a year or two.

I have a feeling that the U will get nougat until all major carriers in the US release nougat for their devices becauses maybe US carriers have some kind of exclusivity? Its a hunch only, so don't take my word for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] YMNDLZ:
All major U.S carriers have got it, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T. They have no excuse, they're just lazy. Honestly going to switch to an LG or Google phone next time I upgrade, Samsung has lost my money. Absolutely ridiculous that those who paid even more than I did on sprint get the update after us.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gameovr:
Not possible. First off, Verizons version of the Note 4 has a locked bootloader so forget the idea of any custom ROMS on it. Just cause you are on T-Mobile does not make it a T-Mobile Galaxy note 4. Also 7.1.1 has not been released for the Note 4 and 99.9 percent sure it will never see an official release of the Note 4. Suggestion. Get a Note 5 or a S7 Edge. The S6 as well got 7.1.1 recently.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johneggman:
Hi guys,

I really need help here. I have a SGP312, bootloader unlocked, and I'd like to get back to stock rom 10.7.A.0.228 because I need MHL-Output and this doesn't work with any custom rom I tried. Here's the problem: I can get into fastboot and into flash mode but nothing I try is working. If I use flashtool the and flash latest XperiFirm ROM for SGP312 everything is running fine until I try to boot. The Sony logo appears and then nothing happens. Once I waited for over 30 minutes. Screen stays on but it's not booting.

So back to flashing recovery...in recovery I can flash ALL custom roms I want. LineageOS, crDroid, CyanogenMod, no problem. If I try to flash this: "https://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/stock-10-7-0-228-vmo-t3303365" I have same problem as described before. Sony logo pops up, screen stays on, no boot.

Also I tried different recoveries TWRP, CWM, Phil's and so on and nothing seems to work. With wipes without wipes does not matter...

And I tried Sony flash tool Emma (with rom for SGP11) and I tried with TWRP to flash a backup of 10.7.A.0.228 I made...both with same results

Can anyone help? I just want to go back to Android 5.1.1 (root preferred but if no root it's also okay) or I need a custom rom with working MHL. Does anyone have the one clue that can get me back to stock rom?

Thanks guys!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
It's a known issue, especially after coming from android 7.x.x ROMs.

You need to flash ANY stock ROM except 5.1.1. 4.1.2 or 4.4.2 will do. After the ROM boots ok, you can flash 5.1.1 directly via Flashtool 0.9.18.6.

It will work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johneggman:
Thank you very much! I'll give that a try. Right now I'm having problems with flashtool 0.9.23.2. It gives me the "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors" and "Error in processHeader : 1" when I try to flash. Drivers are installed correctly, tablet z is recognized as "Sony sa0107". I'm running Windows 10 64bit and flashtool as admin.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
you need version 0.9.18.6.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johneggman:
Thank you! I'll give that a try as soon as I have time. If that also does not work I'll try flashing with my Macbook. Maybe my Windows computer really has some driver issues.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johneggman:
Hi Rootk1t,

thanks for the tip! It worked. I went from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 prerooted although I had to do this with a Macbook. Even version 0.9.18.6 didn't want to flash my SGP312. I think the drivers on my windows machine are really messed up. But now everything is fine!

Thanks again!

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPUser99:
I'm sorry but I can't find any suitable firmware for SGP312.

I'm currently on Android 5.1.1 (Build 10.7.A.0.228, Germany/EU if that matters), and I'd really like to try to upgrade it to LineageOS 15.1 for all kinds of reasons; but in case that I botch anything (or the apps I really need don't work, like the screen time manager, as it's the kids' device), I really want to have a working firmware at hand to at least recover it back.

Kinda-noob question: do I really need a flashable firmware or would a full nandroid backup work for a rollback once I have TWRP installed?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
For a kids device, i would recommend to stay on sony stock 5.1.1, because games run faster there, also it is already tried and tested with easy root installation and debloating.

To revert back from custom ROM (LOS or RR) to stock you'll need to flash firstly any firmware (like 4.4.4) except the latest 5.1.1, then boot it, and afterwards update to 5.1.1 if you want so. If you revert straight to the latest 5.1.1 stock, you'll get permanent bootloop or black screen issue.

So you need to have at least two stock firmware packages.

As for nandroid backup, you can't revert from custom rom to stock via restoring nandroid backup.

Fresh install is recommended.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sss2sssss:
Hi all,

I think my original xiaomi Type C cable is somehow partially spoiled

Recently I'm facing charging slow with the quick charge 3.0 charger they provided and the cable they provided but not in my Xiaomi 10k QC2.0 powerbank + my newly bought Type C cable (as they can enter fast charging mode if according to the charging time and Ampere apps)

Since that newly bought type C cable can't compatible with the charger (I dunno why, the cable itself is USB 3.0 tho, but when try to use the cable at the charger and charge the phone it just can't be charge) so I'm tested the xiaomi type c cable with the powerbank

And yeap the result is also charging very slow :/

But still it's faster than when used in charger, when in the charger the charging rate show in Ampere rate is 250mA max and when in powerbank is 500mA.

But in that newly bought type C cable can be reach up to 2000mA when ur phone is already nearly reach 80%

I think maybe the resistor inside that xiaomi cable is about to burn since i can feel very hot on the type C port when charging even if used with powerbank; while that newly bought type C cable no such issue

As also when using the xiaomi qc 3.0 charger and that original xiaomi type c cable when they are about to enter quick charge mode the charger somehow straight cut off the power

So guys i should buy a completely new QC 3.0 charger (ofc other brand) or just buy the cable? Since the charger to powerbank is still using fast charging (the powerbank itself provided two way fast charging) if according to the time taken (3 to 4 hours charge from one light to four light max) so i think the charger itself is no problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] zoejo:
I'd buy a new cable. I did, actually, as my phone (any phone actually) wasn't recognized on any pc with the original cable (I spent hours thinking I had bricked my phone but it was just a cable - thanks xiaomi).

Plus, cables are cheap.

Even better, let the store you bought it from know and maybe get a refund. I did

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skatopsixos:
So, here is my first thread to XDA, i hope i will get the help i need.

The problem:

My galaxy s7 is not rooted nor has custom recovery.

I flashed the new official android 7 from sammobile over odin with the official way.

Everything was good since i decided for my reasons to go back to 6.0.1 so i downloaded the latest official firmware again from the same webpage and flash it all the way in (AP,BL,CP,CSC) sometimes just the AP.

Since i rollback to 6.0.1 the vibration wont work, instead it makes a high pitch, low volume sound from the speaker.

Another info, since my first rollback to 6.0.1 vibration was not working but in the boot, now it doesnt vibrate at all!

I tried to reflash it many times, even with older firmwares but again no vibration!!

What should i do?

P.S In order to catch up with some people,

YES its the correct model i am flashing

YES i flashed it correctly

YES i was flashoholic with older devices (over 1.000.000 times format and install roms) THANKS XDA!!

Hi there,

Anyone knows about any cleanest ROM with latest updates (OS patches, HTC patches) and no other stuff in it?

I would go for Alex's UltraCLEAN ROM but it looks like the OS is too old comparing to Helmi's/Dutty's/Schap's ones.

So far the best I ever used is Helmi's Clean ROM, no custom splashscreens, no custom graphics, just completely clean ROM (I appreciate any performance tweak, not bloody graphics :p )

But it looks like it's out of date these days...

thats not exactly how is works

Its not always the newest builds that are the best

But the builds usually is ported from other devices, like polaris, touch dual or w/e.

I have portet the build in my kaiser to herald, (norwegian) and I portet polaris os to herald (wwe) its the same build, I duplicated excatly same edits, removals of files...did exactly the same setup. But there is a very noticeable diffrence in speed and stability on the two ports, even though it has same apps, same setup, same os build.

I dunno if this explain anything to anyone :)

But do not make the mistake beliving newer os version is better.

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dan13l:
IIRC (and I could be completely wrong here) the 5.2.1978 build was a fake.

Something to consider with these build versions is that not all of them are built for the Kaiser - some of them have been ported from other releases for other models of device.

Some people only believe in using builds that were intended for the Kaiser, others think that there are benefits from using new versions.

As with all things in software, with fixes come more bugs - newer revisions might have one thing fixed, but another three broken. You never can tell.

Beyond ROM versions, there's also software versions which can be even more significant. For example, we're seeing roms with a much newer version of the camera software now.

So there's an awful lot to consider really.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
Alex 1.6 rom is using the most updated at&t rom which should include all the basic patches from bluetooth hot fix to the other stuff. If you want newest NetCF on there, you can cook that in. Many of those roms have been tweaked out, so using Alex's rom, I think is the cleanest. A little bit more understanding of these version numbers would help you understand more about these roms.

Unlocked bootloader on Verizon Pixel XL

7.1.1. Build NOF26V

Security patch Feb 5, 2017.

When I boot into recovery I get "no command" and I have to hold power to shut down.

Originally unlocked the bootloader with Depixl8 and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip" had TWRP installed but can't access it.

I'm feeling it has to do with the security patch.

Whenever you take an ota you have to reflash both twrp and supersu.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
The no command screen you see is the stock recovery. From that screen you can hold power and tap the volume button up to bring up the stock recovery options.

It's crazy, but there have been reports of Verizon variants updating them selves and relocking their own bootloader's. I'm assuming it's a way the dual partition updates.

My friend got his the other day, it was on 7.1 so we unlocked the bl, added twrp, and rooted. By the time we booted the phone back up, we found the phone and magically updated to 7.1.1 WITH NO INTERACTION FROM US. Literally we turned it on, went to settings and it said 7.1.1.

Go make sure your BL is still unlocked

By default you are unable to access the system UI tuner in emui. With this app (ALL CREDIT TO LEEDROID) you are able to add various shortcuts to your quick settings tiles. One of these is UI tuner, which will bring you to the settings unlike holding the settings cog.

Note that this method is sometimes rather buggy when getting to the menu, and it works best if your settings application is cleared from recent apps.

Just download the app, hit edit in your quick settings, drag the UI tuner to your quick settings and you're set to go.
