[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Paulo_RDF:
MS lost and users too !!!

It happened to me yesterday (March 4th,2016) and I did not succeed with anything I tried.

I'm traveling and only return on Monday.

My desktop is with windows-10 educational.

These unannounced automatic updates are horrible, from December to March there have already been 5 major updates, the 24/12 had been the worst of them.

If I have to re-install it I will go back to Windows 98 !!!

MS has totally lost its way, so I do not recommend using Windows-10 that only has spys and telemetry (120 processes running, it's impossible)!

I try to install .img file in recovery, but after install this, my phone shutdown in software brick....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raminta:
Don't use install img option on twrp it may not work always

Instead of that you can flash recovery using fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery (the name of recovery).img) command
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyalaE96:
I tried, and it didnt work...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raminta:
Do you have unlocked bootloader???
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyalaE96:
yep
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyalaE96:
I solved it, I first must install Repack boot with "fastboot flash boot ...img"

After install recovery with "Fastboot flash recovery ...img"

My error :P Because I should read this first...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
However is it true? With latest updates there was bootloader update which brings (or at least should as Sony said) /recovery partition (or more gives access to it, coz partitions was probably always there).

However how it exactly works? I always thought that onee flashed update with newest bootloader will leave new bootloader and this partition forever. But I got Z2 with .291, downgraded it to 4.4.2 for Root and TA backup and than tried to flash recovery to recovery partition, but got error: FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)).

Does it mean that only on latest update(s) there is possibility to use this partition?

Never tried it on my ZU before. I just started form latest 5.1.1.

EDIT: OK, so what i assumed was right - on 6.0.1 I was able to flash the recovery to it's partition.

Now the problem is with booting into it. How? With Power + Vol- it still stright to boots to OS...

EDIT2: adb reboot recovery boots to different bootloader screen (Power+Vol- gives SONY screen and adb gives SONY + XPERIA screen.

However it still boots strght to Android...

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have 23.5.A.1.291 + unlocked bootloader + TWRP 3.0.2-0 (official) flashed with fastboot flash recovery img.

I'm 100% sure that SONY screen (w/o XPERIA) is the right one as I have identical one on my ZU when booting into bootloader-recovery mode. But why here it don't boot TWRP, but OS?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aditya Ftw:
HELPPPP

Pleaseeeee tell me how did you flash twrp 3.0? I have tried almost everything it now seems impossible for me... Pleaseee helpp me T_T ... Thankk youuu :confused:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
HTC recently released its brand new U Ultra which is a really interesting device, in this thread share with us your experience,expectations,battery life,problems...and more.

But first, will you get one? :laugh:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowchilli:
bought one and have used it for maybe 4 days

the specs were really offputting e.g. display to body ratio, battery capacity

the most disappointing thing is the sound quality from the built-in speakers. they're loud and clear but lacks bass.. nothing like Boomsound speakers in the past.

battery life turned out ok! idles very well and would last me a day. I do have the feeling that it won't do as well under heavy use.

Sense Companion is missing.. read how some people have it but then the official (HK) website says it'll be available for download "early 2017" but that's all the info I could find. which is annoying.

surprisingly it's one of the first Androids (for me) that has working Wi-Fi calling out of the box. And I've owned quite a few androids before.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
How much did you buy it ?
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowchilli:
full retail price.. why?
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Just asking lol
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] sephstyler:
Pretty cool. Which network is that with in HK?

I really wish the Android OEMs will start loading the VoLTE and VoWIFI software configs in all phones, so we can use these technologies regardless of geography.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowchilli:
that would be nice. VoLTE is more readily available but seems to drain a fair bit of battery on standby..especially on Samsungs. But VoWifi is a first for me. I'm with Smartone in hk, phone was bought unlocked though.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

relatively speaking I do feel it's a bit overpriced.. or rather not quite priced correctly when MWC was happening at the same time, new phones with next gen specs are announced etcetc
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] sephstyler:
Yeah, so your HK market one had the HK carrier info loaded, so smartone worked straight away. It would be good if that was loaded for all regions, or make it downloadable by region. iPhone curerntly does this via their carrier settings facility. Android seems like we have to flash different firmware. a bit unnecessary.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Exactly, for that price i would go for an iphone or an S7 edge, i think HTC want to fail again this year
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Marusaia:

[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
That second screen looks dope !
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
Sense Companion was just released today, updated, in the US.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] profixit:
Battery drains quick.

I Am using it alot. I've switched on power saving mode.

Still goes quick, like I said...using it alot.

Big screen and second screen to power, aswel as people suggesting transmission technologies are a factor.

Wi-Fi Calling straight out of the box put a big fat smile on my face. (if your network supports it)

The buzz of owning one hasn't worn off. Probably won't for awhile.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Give it some time to settle down it might get better after some days
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
Sound daft but....

It looks gorgeous on YouTube!

What color did you get?

Is it as impressive in person? In know-subjective.

What are the edge breezes like (never mind top and bottom)?
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] profixit:
Mine's blue. Seems to be a popular colour.

I'm a Die Hard HTC fan. (first phone was able to execute code on a ps3, due to the chip set)

It's taken this phone to rekindle my interest.

I'm anti apple. Ever since they started using Intel processors.

All credit to the fusion chip, it's keeping apple on top. Until they start using someone else's chip.

I'm loving the big screen, a pleasure to use and keep using what ever the task.

No regrets.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Blue one is the sexiest color, enjoy :good:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] wario:
in the netherlands the black version was available 4-3-17 and the blue variant was scheduled for 18e so it was hard to see the phone was

launched but needed to wait for the blue one that's the phone i saw in the teaser on youtube and i knew right then it shut be the blue one.

i have the phone now for 7 days and could not be happier whit my new phone screen is large in first specially when coming from small htc one m7

but now after few days its great -battery is good not great ,playing hole day on it and i did 2 times this week charged back up during the day.

but after some time when phone is little older and not used as often i think will last the hole day thats great for me

its fast ,decent battery .good camera (way better than the m7) stunning looks so love the phone even when you consider the price !!
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Enjoy your beast :good:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] sephstyler:
Its always hard to put a new phone down! hahaha. I'm sure your battery will improve as you find the balance of use and life. The phone is rather good in standby battery life.
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
True ??

The U Ultra is now $500 au for Aus stock, can owners feedback on SOT, camera and audio, both Bluetooth and via USB.

Also I'm torn between blue or black, any feedback appreciated.

Mac
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ChavezD:
SOT depends highly on the brightness, but usually i'll get over the day without any Problems. If Not, with quick Charge you're "quick" on 100% again.

Camera is the best i've used, especially in lowlight.

No Problems [MENTION=332361]bluetooth[/MENTION], i think the range with my Headset is quite good. I dont use USB for Sound, though.

I've got the blue variant and think it is the sexiest Phone of The Last years - quite a few people allready asked that Phone it is :D
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Not always brightness, for example texting all day with 100% brightness can consume less than playing Real Racing 3 at 50% :D
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ChavezD:
Yeah Sure, but while Just watching some pictures and jusing text-only Apps brightness/screen is Always atleast 50% of my consumption. So by setting brigthness -10% i get atleast 1h SOT in top :D
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Yeah same here :laugh:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] AL_IRAQI:
Hey [MENTION=6240046]Soufiansky[/MENTION] buddy, its nice to see you here, im looking forward to get this device

do you recommend it at this point ?, ive been looking for 5.7 phones and there is not that much around

and recently u ultra prices got a nice cut, so i thought about getting one :D
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Hi my friend ! Well to be honest, this phone is pretty rare and not many people bought it, which mean you wont find a large community here ( Roms,Mods..etc ) which can be a deal breaker for you since you're a themer. So it's your choice, i would go for the U11 if i want an HTC smartphone :fingers-crossed:
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] AL_IRAQI:
Yeah i noticed not that many people got, and it got no AOSP support, at this point i cant find something better with the same display size, i can theme Sense also :P

U11 is much more expensive in here, and it got 5.5inch display, that is why i never thought about, ill see which phone to get later this month

Thanks for answering me, and i wish you a great year :D
[HTC U Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
No problem buddy i hope you find something that suits you and happy new year ! :victory:

YEP

Got a cheap flip case with soft sides, leather flip and its looking fine, fits nice and solves the lack of case problems no problem.

[Nextbit Robin] psychoTR2:
I'm on OmniROM, but this would happen on stock as well. Sometimes, the Bluetooth will turn off and stay off until I reboot. Anyone else have this?
[Nextbit Robin] ACViperPro:
I haven't had that problem on Omni. Everything is working fine for me. Maybe it's the bluetooth device that you are using.
[Nextbit Robin] psychoTR2:
Maybe. I only connect to my LG G Watch, and the Bluetooth in my car radio. I'll have to troubleshoot and see which might be causing my issue.

EDIT: I did some reading up and apparently, this is a common Nougat issue that should be patched up in the next few security updates. In the meantime, I read that disabling battery optimization on 'Bluetooth Share' and 'Bluetooth MIDI Services' should help. Did that a few hours ago, and its been OK so far, but I can't say for sure for another day or two.

EDIT2: Alright! Its been two days, and not a single issue. I think that did it!
[Nextbit Robin] RaS_KoR:
Same ROM same issue (just once or twice since 2017-03-03), yesterday I just disabled WIFI after that my Bluetooth works fine.
[Nextbit Robin] psychoTR2:
I'll give that a try! The issue has been far less frequent, but it did pop up once today.
[Nextbit Robin] C--Dog:
I have the same issue with the ROM.
[Nextbit Robin] psychoTR2:
I'm not so sure its an issue with OmniROM. I had it worse on stock. It happens on the Nexus and Pixel phones, too; it's a Nougat issue and Google said in February they're going to address it in a security update. Whenever Google weeds it out, the fix'll be brought in with the OmniROM weekly.
[Nextbit Robin] RaS_KoR:
I've got the problem again yesterday, disable WIFI did'nt help; I had to reboot the device to get Bluetooth.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weirdfate:
So I just sent my note 5 into Samsung for wireless charge my issues and some other issues. I have rooted my device so the Knox counter is obviously tripped. What do you think my chances of them not caring or at least not factoring that into the issue.

I did unroot it and factory reset it (crap I think I did):confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djhulk2:
If its a hardware issue, how can they deny what you did with software
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
its hard to say

look at the lgg4s they have hardware issues and if u unlock the bootloader they were and are denying some not all for waranty repairs.

even though its a known hardware fault
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Well I'll tell you this ... I sent mine into the one in Texas for repairs because the top 2 inches of the screen was dying for no reason (getting darker and darker) the more I used it I got the phone back in 12 days and they never said a word about the warranty bit since my knox was tripped and not only did they put a brand new screen on it they gave me a brand new spen to because I actually broke mine but glued it back together but I never said anything about the spen they did that on their own which I totally appreciated because they went out of their way to do something I didn't say anything about so what does that tell you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weirdfate:
well its coming back tomorrow. They claim it needed a software update to fix the issues but i remember updateing to the latest

I'm assuming its coming with an unreleased build on it

ill keep people updated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weirdfate:
well it had QB1 with is what i believe i sent it in with so I'm not sure what they updated?
[General Questions and Answers] serverhawaii:
Hi all ! :D

This will be my first thread, excuse me if it's in the wrong section, i posted it here because i thought it was the most certain area.

I have an Zenithink ( ZT-280 ) i could imagine the K5, double camera with amlogic board ( AML-8726-XMS ) . It is a present from a work mite since it won't install any rom. ( He probably tried to... ) I've been searching for weeks now and found the matching rom but when i try to flash it ( from SD ) it will install from original recovery and also finishes the installation ok, but on reboot, i eject the SD and the screen stays black ( backlight remains on ). It looks like it would install somewhere else or nowhere. I read that by doing the button combination for flashing the Nand could get screwed and it won´t install. If someone has a small clue what could be the issue, i would be really thankful.

If you need any further info or details, feel free to ask.

Thanks all !!

So as I am sure many of you know if you bought the Pixel directly through Verizon, that the newest os is not rootable. I wanted to know that if I sold it and bought an unlocked version from Google if my Verizon sim card would still work and allow me to be able to root the device. Thanks for any help in advance!!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Jubbard:

Yes everything works except android pay and maybe some banking apps. Not a big deal for me, I don't use them. There might be some work arounds for them to work.

You can download and install the stock rom, using an sd card, putting in "dload" folder the downloaded file. Then hold power + volume up + volume down to begin installation.

U dont even need a sdcard what u can do is power + v install the images that didnt work again or change images to the right ones
[Moto X Q&A] chuda.pati09:
EDIT: Everything booted up after while, just took a really long time for it to completely boot.

I had my xt1060 Verizon Dev Edition rooted and unlocked running Android 5.1. I wanted to flash it back to factory, so I downloaded "XT1060_GHOST_VERIZON_5.1_LPAS23.12-39.7-1_cid2_CFC.xml.zip" from firmware.center. Then I used the commands from Motorola's Restore to Factory guide, to flash the files.

That caused a bootloop to occur and have the screen to stay at the warning bootloader unlocked screen. So then I downloaded "XT1060_GHOST_VERIZON_5.1_LPA23.12-39.7_cid2_CFC.xml.zip" and tried that, and still the same thing.

I had an old copy of "MOTXT1060DEV_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_1FF-CID2.xml" which I've used before to flash back to factory and I tried that. And now whenever I try to boot it up, it'll go into motorola's recovery and the image of the Android opened up keeps flashing on the screen, assuming that it's in a bootloop.

Up until this point I've been using osx-fastboot to flash the files, so I pulled out my old Windows laptop which had a copy of RSD Lite in it, and attempted to flash "XT1060_GHOST_VERIZON_5.1_LPAS23.12-39.7-1_cid2_CFC.xml.zip", which I tried the first time. I was able to get through that successfully, however it still did the same thing as before where the recovery was stuck in a bootloop.

I found this thread on here, and I followed the instructions for RSD Lite and the manual flash, neither worked did the same thing as when after I tried RSD Lite the first time. However the manual flash got farther, but is just sitting at the Verizon boot screen, and that's where it is right now for the last 15 minutes.

It's been awhile since I wanted to "root" my Kindle Fire, I even bought another for another good deal on amazon, same with a few upgrade but still, not Google PlayStore which is all I chose to have.

I admit to being a little confused at anyone thinking I know a lot about these kind of things, but I can tell you the last time I did this, follow the directions I'll attach, My Kindle has total access to Google Playstore and that's what I truly wanted. If you want the same here are the directions I followed, and I mean I had to follow them perfectly for it to work.

If this is info you already know, just disregard. The one thing I realized had to be just right, was the order in which you add the files, also, you pic the right file for your Kind Fire OS. Any questions I will help if I can ;) Denise

How to Geek is my fave, he spells it out, word for word, no video:

Install Google Playstore on Kindle Fire

If this isn't what you needed, please forgive the misunderstanding. I changed my mind totally about "rooting" my Kindle Fire 7" ;) Denise
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsuicides:
Hi,

I'm thinking of getting myselft a moto g 2015 turbo edition xt1557.

I am ready to give up on band 20 (seems to be impossible to unlock it on snapdragon devices) and living with 3g where 4g is only delivered on band 20.

While I was roaming the internet I landed upon an italian page that gives all information about chinese handsets.

Among those informations there is a worrying one:

european 3g bands are 900 Mhz and 2100 Mhz. Same as China, but they can't be used as EU uses UMTS-FDD, while China uses UMTS-TDD.

I think I understood that merlin was for the Indian market. Since I can't find this information anywhere else, could someone tell me which 3g merlin uses?

Thank you very much indeed for your help in advance.

Have a nice one.
