Root

Yeah I've looked into the same thing. I tried some stuff with rkflash but now I just have a brick :/

If you still have the tablet and would be kind enough to be able to provide stock images of all the partitions via rkflashtool that'd be awesome

Maybe then I could try again at finding a root method for this device

I am seeing faint vertical lines on the screen when the background is light like gray or facebook app's blue color. Those are not visible in the dark background. I have checked with apps for checking dead pixels i.e different backgrounds and brightness levels. But the problem is seen only for specific light backgrounds. This was present from the time of buying but only recently it caught my attention. Could this be due to a faulty display? Anyone else faces the same issue?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtbrito:
Dear people,

First of all, although dilligent and trying to do my homework, I am a total newbie regarding anything Android. Therefore, if I am posting on the wrong section of the site, please let me know and I will try my best to fix it.

That being said, I have a Moto G3 (Moto G 2015), model XT1543 (osprey), that is stuck in the fastboot boot. I have searched a lot of the web trying to find solutions and, after having failed all of them, decided to come here for assistance.

My device only boots and displays:

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)

version downgrade for recovery

failed to validate recovery image

ERROR: Failed to pass verification, backup to fastboot

Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from recovery boot mode
​

I already downloaded the appropriate TWRP recovery image for the device (osprey), but the bootloader is locked and, since I can't get into the system properly, I can't switch the "Unlock OEM boot" flag when the full system is running.

In particular, when I try to flash TWRP, this is what I get:

# fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-1-osprey.img

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

sending 'recovery' (7546 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.373s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.454s
​

Indeed, since I am only in fastboot mode, I went away and requested a boot unlock code from Motorola and trying to unlock the bootloader and this is what I get:

# fastboot oem unlock <my-code-here>

...

(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.034s
​

I already tried looking at similar questions in many, many forums and no answer actually applied to my device (including, for example, https://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/help/moto-g3-struck-fastboot-screen-t3542147 and even others for other models and vendors).

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggerman0421:
At this point your only option to flash the same or newer factory image through fastboot. The is no way to unlock the bootloader without the OEM unlock in developer options checked, and with a locked bootloader you can't flash an older version. See the thread on flashing factory images.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtbrito:
OK. So, now, I know how to direct my energies and avoid useless efforts.

Thank you so very much, [MENTION=3758758]riggerman0421[/MENTION]. Now, to find which factory image was the one that was installed on this device (it is actually my father's device).

[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
I was waiting until the S8 came out to trade in my Note7. So, I went to an AT&T store today to preorder. They told me the deadline (Dec. 31, 2016) for exchanging the Note7 had passed, and that I wouldn't get any credit toward the S8. They did let me restart my Next plan, but I'm back at month 0 and the money I paid in for the Note7 is gone.

Is this correct? I don't see anything on the AT&T website about a deadline. Was there a notification about it as part of the software updates (which I had blocked)?

And would this mean, for someone who had bought the phone outright rather than on the Next plan, that AT&T would give them nothing when they brought the Note7 back? There is certainly no incentive to return it in that situation, assuming they want the remaining devices back.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
Actually, it gets somewhat worse. The store ordered the wrong phone for me (S8 instead of S8 Plus) and there is a charge on my bill for $613.77 that shouldn't be there. I called the store and they said to call customer service. I called customer service and they said to go back to the store.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] b0Ne83:
Hey bro, I just returned my note 7 (and the case) last Thursday for a FULL REFUND. They dropped $294.64 in my account. My at&t next was void and then I could start a new one.

You made the mistake by asking what your phone was worth. You must say I want a full refund for my note 7 and all the accessories. I kept hearing this December 31st date but it's nothing official. What they mean to say is after the last update (around December 31st) you will not be able to charge your phone. But we blocked those updates.

I then went to best buy mobile where they have the best offer for the s8 plus. You get $100 off... Yes $100 off PLUS all the Samsung promotions (gear vr and controller)

Hope you can go back and speak to the manager.

Keep me posted...

-b0Ne
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
That's interesting. Thanks for the info.

The manager at the store said there was a December 31 deadline. I sat there and looked through the AT&T website, and told him there was no deadline listed there. He said, "Well, it says that in our info."

I also went through the online chat when I got home. They said I couldn't get any credit for the installments already paid.

After going back to the store today, I did at least get them to remove the $613.77 charge they had put on my account (which they acknowledged was an error, charging me to pay off the Next plan on the Note7).

It's great you got them to give you a refund. Maybe I'll take another crack at calling customer service after I actually give them the phone back.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] les_garten:
Dude, I would be threatening them with a call to the Consumer Protection Agency.

I didn't receive anything that says I had to turn my Note in by Dec 31, have them show you where they sent that message to you.

AT&T Store Return

I was a victim of Samsung's mandatory update last week, while still waiting to (hopefully) exchange it for a S8+. I had originally bought mine full price at Best Buy, then activated it at an AT&T store, exchanged for the 'safe' version etc.

The update disabled the USB-C port and charging, so I was forced to take it in. With a promotion on the S7 Edge I also received a Gear S2 watch, a Galaxy TabE, (both 99 cents without requiring a new contract; just 10$/Month device fee) And was able to use 99$ out of my 200$ + credit on a Gear VR.

I was sad to finally let go of my Note7 after so much resistance, but suffice it to say I walked out pleasantly surprised at the extras I received.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] les_garten:
But they didn't give you any problems with the exchange like the other guy here saying you're screwed because you didn't exchange in December ehhh?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] KeeganWolf:
I was told that myself at an AT&T store when I inquired about it in mid-December, even knowing both AT&T & Samsung's website said differently. However I know a lot of those guys are working on hearsay or don't bother to look it up, so I'm the type to just drive to the next AT&T store and try again. There never was and still isn't an end date to the recall according to the ATT website, which is exactly what they refer to. Even regardless of the N7's condition.

EDIT: Can't post URL's yet but it's ATT website article KM1122948
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] les_garten:
I looked at that article, never saw anything about a Turn in date deadline
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Dark Jedi:
I remember seeing a sign at my ATT store which is an authorized dealer that said to get refund you had to turn in by DEC 31. So maybe it deals with third party stores that are not corporate stores? I have heard people say DEC 31 was the deadline but never found nothing official on that. Still no matter what they should take the phone and give a refund as its an official recall and they can't make you eat the money lost. Maybe you need to go through Samsung now to get a refund? Who knows as companies loves to do the run around game
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] les_garten:
They should have provided a Loaner until the replacement was available, like they originally said they would and like they did in some markets.

The only replacement for a Note is a New Note...
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] Dark Jedi:
Well I am hoping when the new note 8 comes out Sammy doesn't forget about us note 7 owners and how we was done wrong. But I'm sure they will. Heck I would take a fixed note 7 but they are not to be sent to the US market from what I read.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
I'm picking up my S8+ on Friday, at which point I'll drop off my Note7 at the AT&T store.

My plan is to wait a few days then contact AT&T, saying "Now that you have my phone back, when do I get a refund for the money I paid in installments and sales tax?" My hope is that this gets automatically refunded once they physically get the phone, despite what the store manager said about a December 31 deadline.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] les_garten:
Why don't you just hand them the Note 7, get refund, buy S8+, or it should be swap?
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
That's essentially what I'm doing. But the manager said no refund after December 31. Actually, they initially charged me $600 in remaining payments, but I got that reversed (they admitted the charge was an error).

Note 7

Can anyone who has had success exchanging their phone tell me their store location? Seems random but I am at the point with att I want to leave. I am trying to return my note 7 and the stores keep telling me no. The call center is telling me they have to but every location I go to its the same crap. Both corporate and other have the same stuff about dec31st..... doesn't make any sense to me but maybe if I can prove locations are in fact honoring the exchange I might have some luck.

At this point it seems like more a choice than corporate policy and all the hoops I've jumped through just this week I am at my breaking point.

They refunded all my money on my debit card. They told me I couldn't get cash because they didn't have enough money in the store to give cash. They told me they could put it on any debit card of my choice.

S8 refund

I was also given the same story about no refund being issued after Dec 31 but I refuse to take that as an answer. I called customer service at least 6 times and was placed on hold many of times, everyone kept telling me the same story and I just kept asking to speak to a manager and kept climbing up the chain. I mentioned taking legal action and they said a manager would call me back within 72 hours and he never did. I called the 7th time and the operator issued me the refund on everything i had paid except the tax (she said i had to try to claim that at the store where the phone was purchased. Will return once I get my phone today in the mail.

Good luck and don't let them take your money!!!
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] eelton:
I took my Note7 back to the AT&T store today, having received my S8+ yesterday. After an hour there (most of it while they were on the phone with customer service), they said they couldn't take it back at the store, but they printed out a shipping label for me to return it.

At this point, I'm debating whether to mail it to AT&T and try to get my past payments refunded, or just keep the thing--maybe use it as a music player or something.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] zman441:
[SOLVED]

Hello, so i followed the guide on here to go back to the stock rom from LOS(Lineage OS). I had done that right. Then i tried relocking the bootloader. I did that successfully. Now, i have 2 problems i have run into.

1) there is no recovery mode

i tried booting into recovery and all it does is flash the ZTE logo for a second than turn off. This keeps happening. I am not sure how to flash the recovery image since the bootloader is locked and i have no recovery mode.

2) when i boot my device, it asks for a password (a 3x3 grid).

I tried typing in the password i used for TWRP and it didn't work. I tried a bunch of old passwords but so far nothing has worked. I would like to know how to get the password and turn this off. I found this very annoying on LOS.

Please help me as i am not sure what to do!!

edit: i cannot seem to get the device to conect to the computer using adb or fastboot.

if you can can we excahnge phone numbers to fix this faster?

This post may not go far, but I'll give it a try.

about 6 months ago I bought a No.1 D5 smart watch. The arrival of which left me going WOO HOO!!!

6 months down the track--and I am going---I love the watch but--- really, was it worth it?

:crying::crying::crying:

Don't get me wrong, it looks great, it's stylish, and I can change the watch face to fit my mood.

And it even save my butt several times with the built in cell phone.

That is until the wires in the crappy strap corroded through. Now it picks up diddly squat, and now the inner lining of those same straps have broken away, leaving half tubes of what appear to be metal hooked over the strap pins, I can even see the strap pins!

I can replace the strap at the expense of the cell phone feature, sure but that isn't the point.

If a product is put out on the market it should last longer than 6 months.

And this hasn't.

Has anyone here managed to replace the antenna within the straps with something--more durable? Something that actually works?

Grate watch--useless strap. I've recommended the watch to a couple of friends, now I have told them not to waist their dosh, it's just not worth it if it only works for a few months

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikealder:
A soft reset will not do anything to your data so there is nothing wrong with trying that, although I doubt it will fix your problem.

A hard Reset will wipe out your data and return the device to original ROM condition (out of the box when new) - this will get rid of your problem, unless there is a hardware fault - worth a try. - Mike
