[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grosseader:
I have key to unlock bootloader from SONY. May be option in phone menu is restricted so this stop apps from flashing :/

I know about all circumstances.

So far i've flashed OEM rom, but now it ask for google account that was previously used on that phone, which is annoyng. Sony is copying apple or what ? Wtf happen with our android devices :(
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
it will remain mystery to me that how did you manage to have imei number of the device while phone was locked---- anyways

while device is open , goto dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*# then goto service info >>> Configuration and check "BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOWED:" if it says NO then sorry, this device cannot be BOOT UNLOCKED. better to return it!

the previous google account prompt is because the old user data is intact. perform CLEAN FLASH , wipe EVERYTHING. (just tick the boxes as shown in the image (FLASHTOOL FLASHMODE , FIRMWARE SELECTED)

and a Big NO to sony copying Apple. and nothing happend to android devices! you can have easy go devices like huawei/lenovo/alcatel/(even samsung) etc. their stockrom can easily be xploited and kingroot supports various of devices under those brands. however Kingroot removed SONY from their website after Android 5.1 since they could not bypass SonyRIC from Android 6

I've got imei thru Flashtool, Emma, there it showed me Imei number.

This option with the code in dialer may be usefull with older android version, now it is unable to use it thru emergency call, since i do not have access to dialer itself.

I performed clean OEM flash thru Flashtool, wipe everything, but account lock is still there.

I do not know where to return it! It is foreign phone. I wait 2 months for someone to call or look for it. I work in ski resort and almost every day someone found lost phone. If i return it to police, they ouldn' do anything about it. Will sell it for 20euro probbably. I have friend in police department so i know what is going in there.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
Please flash Again WIPING EVERYTHING. it is not possible that you still get old data back! since it wipes all the SIN and MISC TA
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grosseader:
I've flashed absolutely everything, wiped whole data, but Account lock is still there. I tried with older android, and the BUG that allows me to download app from internet is working , but i can't find way to install bypass app. As soon as i click on APK it send me to chrome screen. Any other ideas ?

Just finished with the bypass of FRP.

However do what ever u want but please don't overdo it.. I am sure this work didn't take more than 2 hours
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chitshiv:
how can someone from sony dev team be made fool by this small work of mine? I am sure they must be having some other important things to be rather than being fool by using this theme :eek:

And as I mentioned in this thread - this is my first theme so obviously I am new to this so it took me two days .... so why dont you just stop being a time keeper here. And one more thing, like other 450+ viewers of this thread why cant you just simply ignore it if you think i made a fool of you ?

[General Topics] mobilityguy:
I'm turning to XDA for advice because I've been frustrated for the past month looking for a phone to replace my wife's 2013 Moto G. She's not at all a phone geek (that would be me), and the G was her first smartphone. The size is ideal, both in her hand and in any number of purses she bought because they had pockets exactly the right size to hold it. She also loves the Moto flip case that replaces the removable back and adds a screen cover without making the phone any bigger. She's fine with the 4.5 inch screen.

That phone is almost four years old now, and we've both been looking for a replacement. Putting aside the fact that no one but Apple makes a decent phone with a screen under 5 inches, the smaller screen sizes all seem to include larger bezels so virtually nothing is available that's narrower than 69mm, and 71-72mm is more common even in "smaller" models. The G is under 66mm, and the difference is significant. The smallest reasonable phone we found is the Samsung J3 and it's huge in comparison to the G. I got really excited about the Moto G5 till I found out that Moto in their infinite wisdom decided to only import the 5.5 inch G5 Plus to the US. Plus, even with a 5 inch screen, it's 73mm wide.

Here's what she's looking for:

66-67 mm wide, preferably even with the flip case on

Running Android 6 or higher, preferably with some hope of seeing Android 7 (that's my addition to the list)

Screen size 4.5 to 5 inches

Compatible with T-Mobile frequencies in the US

$200 or less in the US

You can see the list is pretty short, but I've had no luck finding anything that fits. How is it that Apple keeps cranking out 4.5 inch iPhones but not a single vendor of Android devices thinks there's a market there? Is there a correlation between small hands and iSheeepdom?

Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm even willing to import a phone if the radios are compatible. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what it is? It looks like an update for the Turbo which I also own.

The " Droid Turbo - Maintenance Release Notes" had me confused.

I bought this for my sister who hates her AT&T Samsung with all of the bloatware because the Maxx is a none carrier phone.

My first thought was yay Marshmallow. Then after an internet search I found nothing about it so I knew it wasn't that.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] 9AVXzGZD:
I'm running OOS 4.1.1 with Magisk. My problem is that since Magisk is systemless, I can't use TBP to uninstall system apps, only freeze them. So I went in TWRP and deleted apps out of system/apps and mistakely deleted DocumentProvider. 1) how do I uninstall system apps the right way (granting TBP system access), and 2) how do I restore DocumentProvider? Thanks.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Didgeridoohan:
Are you on Magisk v11.5 or newer? Because the issue where Titanium Backup couldn't mount system rw has been fixed since then... I just tested it on my Nexus 6 and I can delete system apps just fine with TiBu (Magisk v12).

On my OP3T I debloat apps systemlessly with a Magisk Module. After all, it's a systemless mask, why start messing with the system by deleting stuff?

Easiest way to get the DocumentProvider back would be to dirty flash the ROM.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Infinitedrive:
I am on a clean install of android 7.0 for the galaxy s7 exynos. Flashed twrp, then Magisk v12. Magisk manager shows I'm rooted correctly and granted super user access through MagiskSU and passing safety net. Used root checker to verify root and passed. Installed Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall a few system apps like one drive Facebook and Instagram but even after trying multiple methods of removing them with restarts and cache wipes I am unable to remove apps. Also tried ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled- unable to uninstall apps through that app list as well.

Had no issues with a previous identical clean flash using SuperSU 2.79 and titanium- what am I doing wrong?

Would greatly appreciate the help. Thankyou

The I needed to unroot my phone and tried following the unroot method on that thread. But I got an error with odin saying "FAIL! (AUTH)" and thought it was the version I was using. So i tried downloading a few different versions and tried the latest update for the s7 and it failed which boot looped my phone. And if i hold power + Volume Up + Home it says recovery booting.... and keeps doing that over and over. so that doesnt work. All i want to do at this point is get my phone unboot looped and unrooted If anybody can help. please do. BTW i have the SM-G930V

Try getting the qa2 files off updato.com and flashing those. May be a bad dl that is causing your problem. If it flashed the tmo files with no issue, then that's the only thing i can think of

I've owned a few Vaja Cases. They are in fact the nicest I've ever seen or had!

Even the packaging they come in is very nice (probably nicer than some other cases themselves haha)

The only issue is they can add some bulk to your device. So when I have a smaller phone, they were fine. But adding it to a Kaiser would make it approach brick status IMO.

www.noreve.com also makes very nice cases, similar to vaja, but like one grade below maybe. I've never actually had one, so can't say for certain...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Console:
Hey guys,

I think that this is may not the perfect place to ask, but because I didn't registered before I can't write in the related release thread....

I allready read that some people are experiencing problems with RR ROM and Whatsapp as e.g. infinite initialising etc.

After reading the latest posts in the release thread my Whatsapp is initialising, but doesn't sees any contact (yes, the rights for using contacts are granted).

I tried syncing them manually, what only took a few ms and also tried it in the app.

I used the RR unofficial buid for the LG H850 (G5 intl) Ver. 5.8.1-20170214 and GBWhatsApp 5.40 before and everything worked fine.

After updating today to the official 5.8.2-20170324 release I first encounterd the infinit initialising bug, wich I had solved by removing rights to use contacts before starting GBWA, but now I don't have any contact as describe before.

So I think the problem was born between these releases.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I hope that someone may has an idea how to fix it.

If not, I most probably have to change back to the unofficial, wich had other issiues :D

Thanks in regard

Dr. Console
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Console:
Nerver mind,

I tried a bit arround, giving GBWA full rights even to change system settings, disabled the sync and restarted and everything works now....:confused:

I don't know whats the reason, but maybe this info could be helpful for other people experiencing the same problem....

Hope that it will be totaly fixed in the next release.

Have a great sunday

I've been searching the forum for a while, but most of the rooting guide are based on earlier version. Do i need to downgrade before rooting?
[T-Mobile LG G4] hyelton:
Yes you would need to downgrade, but since you have a T-Mobile version it's most likely not possible due to anti rollback
[T-Mobile LG G4] Gemichi:
guess I'll need to wait till someone figure out a way to root 20r then...
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
yes theres is... since hyelton already told you no downgrade.. that means no flashing 20i...

so youll be using the same procedure the same steps except flash 20i kdz.. youll will be doing all this on 20r.. so follow instructons . usiong same procedure just skip the flash 20i kdz.

yes, same thread, just do the steps about OEM Unlocking and Root. i would grab the most recent twrp image from here (3.1.1-1) and the latest SuperSU here (2.82 TWRP Installable Zip)

you will also need adb and fastboot tools on your pc, get that here, latest version is 1.4.3

or you can just flash twrp and then flash an already rooted system image for 20v from [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] found here
