Sorry but what are you on about? Android 7.0 hasn't even been released for this device yet....
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kdogguk:
This is all well and good but as stated by Alex Android 7 isn't out for S6 edge + yet. And I'm pretty sure when it does come out it will change the boot loader and reverting back to 6.0.1 will cause imei and baseband loss.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SebastianSNRL:
If it came out but not officially since the rom filter is that of developers
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] galaxyYtester:
I was on Nougat multiple times (Khongloi S7 port ROM and DevBase 7.0 ROM modifications), returning to MM was as easy as going to TWRP and flashing a MM ROM, without any bootloader business involved... In my case I simply flashed the V15 Note 7 port by Khongloi, and I was back on MM without any bugs or problems. And if you didn't notice, the firmware in this guide includes a bootloader, so even in the case of the bootloader changing with Nougat, there would be no issue reverting back. I've downgraded my Note 4 from Marshmallow to Kitkat multiple times (for testing purposes), and it's as easy as doing the same steps that are provided in this guide

Go down to the development section, you can see that there are multiple Nougat ROMs that exist for this device already, all based on a leaked base ROM that was meant for app developers. The ROM is nowhere near to finished, it drains battery and the performance is poor, and for that reason many users will consider downgrading, and this thread works for that purpose
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] 0rigin:
You must be living in some alternate reality.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] galaxyYtester:
No, the performance and battery life ratio really is worse in the ROM, it doesn't benchmark even close to stock MM and battery drains fast on some occasions
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kdogguk:
This might be due to the fact that they are ports of 7.0.

Im just warning people that update to official when it comes out that it has been known that it updates files that once done cannot be reverted back or it will cause problems, one being the null baseband/imei.

But yes, reverting back at the moment is as easy as flashing a 6.0.1 rom or stock firmware.

Either way hopefully people back up their efs!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] spacemoneky:
i updated to an official 7.0 firmware and now i can't flash 6.0.1 bootloader. Any ideas or am i stuck at 7.0?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] game.gallery:
hello

is there any way to avoid this baseband and imei issue or to downgrade BL?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kdogguk:
Well hopefully people will back up their EFS which is a MUST do before starting to flash roms etc.

If you have I think you can use odin to go back to 6.0.1 and then restore the backed up EFS from that version of Android.

Other than that you're stuck on nougat roms.

If you have reverted back to older and you lose imei and/or baseband then you'll need to reinstall nougat rom to get the imei/baseband back.

But as I haven't flashed an official nougat rom I can't say if this will all work or not. I'm going by past experience when I did this with jellybean - kitkat on my old phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] game.gallery:
thanks for reply.

but the one that i have was officially bought with nougat :(

[General Questions and Answers] piokon:
TL;DR: Why would my phone serial number in the setting/cover not match? Could it result in problems with connectivity or mobile data I am experiencing?

Longer version:

My phone (SM-870A) worked fine in Europe but in South Korea has trouble with mobile data (everything else is ok). My provider couldn't figure out what's wrong, so after the engineer at the service center couldn't, neither, I sent it to main Samsung service center / factory and they are telling me that they identified the problem: my phone's serial number doesn't match the the on the battery cover. (IMEI numbers DO match; I also verified this myself because they sent me photos of the back cover and from the phone's menu). They seem reluctant/unable to fix anything, and are suggesting I contact the seller of the phone for further explanation/warranty.

I tried googling, but I couldn't find out much about why a non-matching serial numbers could be related to connectivity problem, or what could it mean for the phone (perhaps it was refurbished? I was told I the phone is new, but a former unused display model... through it came already with the OS updated to the newest version). I am sure the phone is running unrooted stock ROM..

Do you think I got scammed in Europe by the original seller, or is the service center in Korea being lazy/under informed and cannot identify the real problem?

[Mate 8 General] TLbonchef1234:
... if you read the article below and feel that you do not need this security feature.

I bricked my phone for the first time in years of messing with custom ROM, upgrades and embedded software development.

All because I was not aware of this:

https://android.gadgethacks.com/new...ting-before-modding-anything-android-0167840/

In my case, I was complacent to think that as long as I am not loading custom ROM, I would not need to unlock bootloader on my Mate8 - code integrity is for your own good, right?

In the end the OTA bricked my phone. I went as far as getting the unlocker code after the fact from Huawei - but guess what, it is useless now because I had not enabled that developer option when the phone was working.

:rolleyes:
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Never even considered this...I'm not one to root, screw around other than a factory update, but maybe unlocking it, updating and when

finished, lock it again?

Personally, my phone NEVER leaves my sight, plus I don't carry around "nude selfies" or any of that garbage, plus I use an 8 digit pin

code, and fingerprint, so on the off chance it would get stolen, I doubt anything of value is on it. I don't do banking or anything else from

it either.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
so i tried to upgrade my mate 8 c636180 to 211... and i am guessing with what you said might have happened to me too. i did not enable the oem bootloader... and now i cannot even use DLOAD to upgrade the phone.. always to erecovery.... so are you SOL? have you tried anything?

i have used DC phoenix... but no luck...

there is another option on DC unlocker... it says unlock factory reset setting? or something like that... but i have to buy another 15 credits... i am wondering if that would solve anything...
[Mate 8 General] TLbonchef1234:
Based on my understanding of the article I quoted, I have exhausted my ((soft fix) means. Fastboot wont help and no way to boot alternate image from SD (only from device memory). I dont think DC can do magic in this case.

I started to look into replacing the board - not as bad as I thought originally as there are screws instead of glue. Just need to do a bit more research because the disassembling video says there are a few small parts that are not supposedly re-usable.
[Mate 8 General] michael0617:
DC Phoenix should work I used and did same thing was able to get out DC unlocker won't work

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I just found an update.app file that was close to mine paid fee then it took firmware in fast boot mode after it finished I unplugged restart and it worked
[Mate 8 General] TLbonchef1234:
Cool. Perhaps I should give it try. But, according to the article I quoted, this lock is fairly new. Did you fix a brick on Mate 8 specifically, or older an older model? And did you NOT have Bootloader Unlocked enabled (not the unlock action itself) in Dev Option prior (which was the main point of my post)?
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
I had nothing unlocked... it was completely untouched. I bought it and start using it. Did not activate any of the dev options to oem Unlock. I am wondering if you using D.C. Phoenix had all the options unlocked?

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

I used 211 to do the Phoenix and after it does what it is supposed to do... it tells me to restart and it should work... but same thing... I am wondering if it's that firmware you are talking about... needs to be the same? I had l29-c636180
[Mate 8 General] pvitruvian:
Try DC Phoenix Method 2 using factory firmware flash using NXT-AL10_M00A102_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_A ndroid_6.0_EMUI_4.0.dgtks file, this method will put your Mate 8 as new with a Chinese firmware, then you can follow installing the firmware for your phone version using DLOAD method. Ask for support on dc-unlocker forum.
[Mate 8 General] initialdwiko:
oh my!!! thank you so much! i did what you said and i was able to fix my problem.. i updated that firmware.. then UPDATE.APP 211 to it and it worked! now my phone is working properly again! thank you so much!!! but now i have a MATE 9!!! hahahahahah time to sell my mate 8! thanks again man!! you are the best!

hey OP! you should definitely try using DC phoenix method 2... it worked out for me. cost me 15 more credits though... because i wasted 72 hours contemplating on what to do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBloodWolvx:
This is an interesting issue, and I'd love some insight on it. I have an LG G3 D850 with ATT and I was running Cyanogenmod 5.1.1 all fine and dandy until I didn't charge the phone in time, the battery hit zero, the phone shut down and from there it wouldn't boot properly, it was stuck at the LG logo. TWRP no longer worked either, and EVERYTHING on the phone became extremely slow, and I don't mean like it's a program doing this, I mean the phone itself is acting slow. I have a v10d TOT for this and I've tried the proper d850flash dll and the lgup dll, but no success. Upgrade DL brings me to where I was before with the phone failing to boot as it stays at the LG logo, but I tried Board DL and it brings me to my current issue, AAT - Mini OS 3.1. I'm stuck at this screen and it won't take user input. I click "OK" on the prompt "Auto touch test don't touch anything on the screen!" yet nothing happens. I've tried holding volume down while touching ok, and I've tried holding the power button while I touch ok but it's not taking any input. I don't necessarily need this phone to run stock OS but I need it to be functional, this is a very unique problem that I don't see anyone asking about, so I'm making my own thread because I'm sure I won't be the only one with this problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this, all the best.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
For stock ROMs use XZDR recovery. For custom ones recovery should be integrated in kernel.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp3elv:
From the XZDR Recovery info, they use a hack on stock roms, but it wont work with anything beyond 5.0, as it says in the zip file, given that the stock in this case is 5.1.1 i think XZDR Recovery is useless, could someone confirm that 2.8 works with Android 5.1.1?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
2.8.26 works good on the latest stock firmware (.222/.228).
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp3elv:
this comes from the install.bat inside the XZDR Recovery zip file:

echo.
echo ##########################################################
echo #
echo # The unrooted installation does not work on Lollipop 5.1 based ROM's!
echo #
echo # rootkitXperia only works on ^(some^) Lollipop 5.0 ROM's.
echo #
echo # The installer will now exit, installation aborted!
echo #
echo #####
echo.

So what gives?, it works or it doesn't work on 5.1.1??? i'm confused to be honest
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
Well, it means that it will install perfectly on a already rooted 5.1.1 ROM, but won't install on an unrooted rom, as root exploit inside recovery installer can root only 5.0.2 ROMs.

So on 5.1.1 you will have to get root first, and then install recovery with option 1. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU.

[Xperia Z5 Accessories] redjge:
You may try using also a film type sticker protector for the lens. Tempered glass will work as well but you should avoid getting around the flash as this will produce additional glare when used.

Hope you could find one with better clarity as this will also add fringing and slight distortion to the captured image

Good day everyone, especially to every great and talented android developer out there. Please be nice and give some patience in me, im a newbie. I don't intend to annoy anyone :o. I am here asking for help to anybody.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T110

1. I rooted it and flashed custom recovery(TWRP) following this thread. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2674649. It works fine. Reasons? To enhance battery life and give smooth performance especially in games. I have backup everything and put in my laptop.

2. I installed app remover/uninstaller from google play to remove unwanted system applications.

3. I installed custom kernel/ROM and flashed it in recovery mode. It failed, I reboot the device, and it tells "NO OS".

I follow instructions in this link https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7/rom-i8200-build-t110-t3139478

4. I try to restore the back-up in recovery, but it failed. So, i downloaded the stock/official firmware.

5. I flashed stock recovery, then flashed the stock/official firmware of my device. It works again (No Root this time)

6. I am really curious about custom kernel/rom, so i reapeat 1-5. (3x)

7. The second time, i wonder why it failed to install the rom, so i go to recovery->wipe->format Data

8. This time, i know my device breaks. It keeps on rebooting and sometimes it stuck at startup.

9. I unbreak/softbreak it following no. 1 but nothing change, my device didn't start. It's stuck.

I think my device is now dead. :mad:

Any comments/suggestions is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Huawei Y625 Questions & Answers] shevtak:
Hi, I have a Huawei Y625-U51 (Dual-SIM) running stock Android 4.4.2/EMUI 2.3 Lite and I would like to encrypt the device, but there are no Encryption options in "Settings > Personal > Security". Is there a way to make these options available or otherwise carry out a system encryption (i.e. using adb)?

Here's the about info to the device:

Model: HUAWEI Y625-U51

Android: 4.4.2

Secpatch-Lvl: 2015-11-01

EMUI: EMUI 2.3 Lite

Kernel: 3.4.0

Build-Number: Y625-U51V100R001C577B108

I already tried carrying out a factory reset but that didn't bring up the encryption options.

I'm well-versed with Windows/Linux system hacks but new to Android, so please bear with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
[Huawei Y625 Questions & Answers] shevtak:
Encrypt Huawei Y625 via rooting and shell commands

After reading up a few articles on different ways to start encryption from the command line in various Android versions, I decided to experiment and got lucky. Here's what I did (if you want to repeat these steps I suggest you attach your phone to the charging cable first. Also remember that this will likely void your warranty bla bla ;)) :

rooted the Huawei Y625 using kingoRoot

installed Android Terminal Emulator and ran it

Once inside the terminal I entered

su
setenforce 0
vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace <YourPasswordInCleartext>

(I'm not sure whether the 'setenforce' command that sets SELinux to permissive mode is actually necessary. However, this will only change runtime mode, so you needn't worry that it may persist over reboots).

The screen then immediately went blank. I had forgotten to attach the phone to the charging cable so I scrambled to find it and finally got the phone attached. But it looked pretty much dead now.

After nothing happened for another while, I pressed the start button. The screen remained blank but I got to hear the familiar boot melody. After a while (maybe 2 or 3 minutes) I pressed start again. This time, a message appeared "Wait while your phone is being encrypted" plus a slowly increasing percentage.

* When the encryption had finished, the phone booted up as usual, only this time the familiar melody and splash screen was interrupted by the message "Type password to decrypt storage"

Minor drawbacks:

The boot process is interrupted somewhat uglily in the middle of the melody and splash screen to ask for the encryption password

TouchPal's data transfer agreement pops up every time you start to enter the decryption password (presumably because the answer is written to the /data partition which is still and encrypted and therefore not available yet at this point)

Bigger drawback:

There is no way to change the encryption password using the GUI. You have to run 'vdc cryptfs changepw <YourPasswordInCleartext>' from a shell (Result should be "200 0 0"). That's a bummer if you want to enable encryption for someone reliant on GUI apps.

One last note: this being Android 4.4.2 there is no way to encrypt the whole system. The method described above will encrypt the userdata partition (mounted as /data) only.

P.S.: Sorry for not sharing article and app links, but xda anti-spam settings prevented me as a new user from posting links. So sorry for the missing convenience, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the apps mentioned yourself and as for the articles - they were interesting but relating to wildly different Android versions with different command syntax, so you're propably better off just following the steps above anyway :rolleyes: ;)
