[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
Hello,

I'm planning to buy this (Exynos) variant of the Galaxy S7. It has great specs and the availability of custom ROMs pleasantly surprised me. Therefore, I have some questions:

1. How do you go from full stock to being able to flash custom ROMs? Is it difficult to unlock the bootloader? I'm used to Nexus devices where you'd reboot to bootloader, fastboot oem/flashing unlock and that's it, but the procedure is certainly different on the Galaxy S7.

2. Are there any things I should be aware of? e.g. Can I brick my phone with flashing something or doing something that wouldn't brick some other phones?

3. Is it possible to return from custom ROMs to full stock? I guess I won't have KNOX back since that's a physical detail AFAIK, but I can live with it, I guess. Modded stock ROMs can also be flashed from TWRP, right?

4. I was really surprised that the Exynos variant got so much dev support. Normally I would expect that from a Snapdragon device, but the Snapdragon variant's BL is locked. How come Exynos got so much dev support and ROMs with practically no issues on this device (and some other like the Galaxy S6)? From what I've heard in the past, the Exynos phones aren't exactly the most dev-friendly ones. What has changed since? I may be completely wrong though :D

That's all for now.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
You need to flash TWRP custom recovery (Instructions in the TWRP thread)

Unlocking the bootloader is a simple toggle switch in developer options

Always a risk, make sure to read up thoroughly before flashing anything

Once KNOX is tripped that's permanent, but you can return to stock using ODIN and a stock ROM from sammobile or other sources scattered around the forum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
So, to unlock the bootloader, I literally have to toggle "Enable OEM unlock" in developer options? That's it? I'll have this switch regardless if I'm on Marshmallow or Nougat, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Correct

Don't make the same mistake a few members have, and disabled it once they had TWRP installed, you need to leave it unlocked while you are running custom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I've never wanted to try this, but I'm curious. What happens if you toggle it back? Bricks the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
It gets stuck trying to boot with custom binary blocked errors iirc

Then you need to spend time working out how to bypass the lock and reflash stock etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RiTCHiE007:
If i was you then i would keep the s7 with the stock rom because this stock rom is pretty awesome and i like having the secure folder functions etc.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Recyclebin.:
Hi

I've been so stupid that i locked the oem setting, without any OS an recovery.

By all that, i've been searching online for a solution for days, without any luck...

So now im back with a phone that's oem locked and can't unlock it because i can't allow oem unlocking in developer settings, and can't do adb push because i do not have any recovery on the phone.

Is there anybody that can help me?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Can't you get to the bootloader and fastboot the stock google images? This is a N6, right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=6617276]ktmom[/MENTION]: He can get to the bootloader, but it's locked, which means fastboot is not an option. Worse, he apparently has no recovery installed so he can't sideload an OTA.

The OP is screwed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Yeah, spaced :D

What about running recovery on the pc? I've never done that. I guess it requires an unlocked bootloader also.

I dunno, this is an N9 thread as is this one, but if I was in this position, I think I'd read through these.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I didn't think of that. It may work. Then he can sideload.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
Power up arrow to get into bootloader mode

might have to unlock bootloader at this point (dont remember the exact process you can google it) should be another fastboot command

fastboot flash recovery preferably twrp

then you should be able to load up a rom
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Recyclebin.:
How can i make a running recovery on a pc?

Tried to search for it, but i cant find anything on it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
fastboot boot recovery.img

The above command sends the device into recovery mode using an image stored on a PC's hard drive. From there the owner of the device can use the recovery just as if it were installed in the /recovery partition of the device's internal storage. Files that the owner of the device wishes to use are stored in the device's internal storage.

It won't help the OP however. An unlocked bootloader is one of the pre-requisites.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Recyclebin.:
Cant boot up a live recovery either, because of tge locked bootloader...

Anyone got other ideas? Im really lost with this one

I have upgraded my phone to Windows Mobile version 6 using the offical t-mobile rom. Is there anyway of installing windows live messenger?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chandalf:
I am looking for the answer to the same question. Why is it not in the T-Mobile ROM? Micro$ofts site suggests it should be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MrDSL:
Theres like a crap load of windows live .cabs floating around here. Pick one and install it..Done..

Its really that simple..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] removed:
I've tried installing it via the install_wlm.exe thats floating around but I always get "Installation of Windows Live.CAB was unsuccessful." yet it never gives me an actual error to work off to try and fix.

I'm using a T-Mobile MDAII with Windows Mobile 6 Professional that I upgraded to myself using T-Mobiles download.

Any hints would be much appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony86:
you can downgrade to 5.1.1, but never on 4.4.4 because bootloader is locked on binary version 2 and 4.4.4 had only binary 1

[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] arnab8820:
It's a very sad news that your pc died. Anyway I have seen that android has two storage blocks. One is mmcblk0 (internal emmc), another is mmcblk1 (external sd). All the partitions are defined in fstab.qcom file inside boot.img. So i thought i will clone the emmc image on the sd card and then edit the fstab file and replace all the partition addresses from emmc to sd card. I dont know if it will work. I just want to try out.

I use WPS button alot in my field of work. However, since the Nougat release it seems to not be working about half the time. I carry 2 phones with me at all times, so it's not the routers I'm trying to connect to, cuz when my S7E fails, my other phone has no issue with the WPS. I did try to reset Network Settings. Made no difference. Is anyone else experiencing any issue with this ? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMeijer91:
My Nexus 6P went in a bootloop recently.

It was shortly after I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.

I tried everything I could (stock firmware 7.1, 7.0 and the oldest that was available) but nothing worked.

I still had warranty so I sent it back to webshop where I bought it.

Now I got my phone back and the note says 'Mainboard replaced'.

What I want to know:

- Can it be my fault the phone broke, I know the Nexus 6P has some issues concerning bootloops.

- Can I safely root again? Or would you not recommend it?

Thanks for your answers.

I have a backup phone, but I don't want to f*** my 6P up again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberpodS2:
Search for BLOD. You will answer your own question in no time. Lol No you are not to blame. It had or is happening to probably hundreds of phones by now. You will also see there are many different roms, 6&7, root or stock that have the problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
Rooting doesn't cause the boot loop of death. Flashing something sometimes triggers it (including flashing a normal OTA on pure stock) but it is almost certainly a hardware issue.

Does anyone have aclue if our artemis will be able to run wm7 and explore all of those touch potencialities?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Rudegar:
wm7 will not be out before 2009

so it's everybodys guess

heck ms and pda makers could have changed

cpu away from arm compable cpu's we use now

to something different by that time
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] joey jojo:
i kind of know what you mean, but you do make it sound like its years in the future, its only next year and the technology wont have changed that much,

I dont think WM7 will work on Artemis because the supposed hardware features the OS needs, we dont have it, and if we did get wm7,it would be very limited, or just a basic new look without the special features.:cool:

I think a skin program or a special written emulation program is the best

were going to see on our devices.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jahrami:
dude one year is looooooooooong enough in the tech industry :cool:

but i agree WM7 will be far more advanced to run on Artemis or if we did get lucky and we got WM7 on our phones,it would be very limited in use, or just a basic new look without the additional features
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Registerme:
Same old story like XP and Vista

It will be like running Vista on your old Desktop Computer: Either you don't have graphics power for Aero or your entire system will be too slow to run this thing.

It looks nice but no thank you! By the time they have it released I will have my ultimate pda-phone and my Artemis will be trash compared to that.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ericino:
WM7 compared to WM6.1?

Maybe this is a matter of me not having read enough about WM7 specs, but judging by the way WM6.1 runs on my Artemis with most animations etc turned on(FAST!), I think WM7 might not be such a far grasp. Of course, we'll know for sure when someone WM7 is released and someone is kind enough to bake a ROM for us! :D

Looking forward to it!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] fzzyrn:
all the fun fun fun stuff is hardware based though (3d accel, accelerometers)

and they may change the entire framework of how windows mobile works. remember that odd numbered releases are major overhauls and even numbers are GUI refreshes
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] d-signet:
the hardware based godness wont work obviously, but it will probably get ported.

Remember WM6.1 is available on here for the Himalaya, originally a WM2003 device IIRC

If THATS possible.....
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] incredulous:
Its not even a year now though, in 5 months time it will practically be 2009. And in my opinion, the only real major change in PDA's is the release of a WM device with an accelerometer (Diamond). I am confident that WM7 will be available for the P3300 in its full glory :)

Oh, and the odd number/even number thing is rubbish, if thats actually true, where is WM4/2004? :|
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] siregarian:
It's 2009

It's February 2009, and it's still not out now.

I saw some screenshots of supposedly running WM7 (with photo of ugly-looking bird as wallpaper), though.
