[HTC Desire 601] richjhart:
I am just trying to root my HTC Desire 601 (don't care what android version it has - I just need a rooted phone for testing) - but not been having much luck so far.

I have unlocked the bootloader via HTC, and that all seemed to go fine.

The first guide I found said to use the "philz_touch_6.19.3-zara.zip" recovery. The links were dead but I found a copy, and it seemed to install (I could enter recovery), but had lots of mount errors.

I then wasn't able to install any the superSU images that the guides suggested - I got various different errors.

I then tried TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/desire-601/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-0-touch-recovery-t2874948). Once again, I could enter recovery.

But somewhere along the line I seem to have corrupted the OS - as I can only boot into the bootloader now. So I have now tried to install a system image - namely, the one described at:

https://xdaforums.com/desire-601/orig-development/test-builds-cyanogenmod-12-t3041646

But the link didn't work, but I seem to have found it here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934534985

(the filename seems to match quite well)

But when I try to install it, I just get various mount errors:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system: No such file or directory

...

and so on

and finally:

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/...'

Anyone have any ideas?

How did you unlock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Scarambay:
I don't like Google bloat, uninstalled Google app from Play Store tweak, and tried restarting my phone. BAM! My phone is stuck at Mi Logo. No root, locked bootloader, stock MIUI ROM. What do I do? I have no access to soldering and stuff, so that DIY cable method or whatever that is off limits.

Please someone help me to get my phone back, as I have to use my phone for urgent work. I don't even have a backup phone.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niks321:
Hi

Can someone please help with installing Galaxy S8 apps

On my Galaxy S6 every app I try to install gives error - app package conflicts with existing app or package is corupt

In app settings there is no button for uninstalling updates for specific app like there was on MM

Everyone suggesting to do that but I dont see that option, so I dont know what to do

S8 apps like music, gallery, voice recorder were installed normaly but other apps and S8 launcher always gives error messages

Im on Nougat 7.0 stock

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlatkonexus4:
Hey i have the same problem i was able only to install music app/galaxy app/themes app from s8,but browser,gallery or similar no chance the same error as you get,maybe it has something with monthly security updates that is blocking us s6 stock 7.0 android users to install them,i was searching and find nothing to answer our problem
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanvict90:
why not use a custom rom like noble rom 3.1 ? is already pre installed
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niks321:
I dont want to root my phone or install custom rom on it.

Looking trough forums I found post with Galaxy S8 apps and I wanted to install them on my phone because they look great for my taste.

Half owners of S6 can install them but others have error with every app they try to install.

Solution is to unninstall previous updates for that apps in app settings, but there is no such option for me anymore in Nougat 7.0.

I just wanted to know is there any other way to install them
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
No there isn't, the only other way is to replace the s8 apk files into system, this requires root though. If the apks are not installing via the usual way it's most likely down the specific nougat firmware your handset is on, to test I'd find out the firmware of a member who has managed to successfully install and see if it is one that your phone will accept. Other than that you're out of luck mate.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] 1337haXXor:
In the area that I live/work, Verizon is the best network. I've used MetroPCS (T-Mobile) and the speed was fast, but network availability was terrible, and I've used Boost Mobile (Sprint) with decent connection and speed.

So I think I would like to do Straight Talk, but it's not listed on the willmyphonework website, so I was wondering how the VS995 works on Straight Talk, if it even does? Or is there a better Verizon MVNO that the V20 would work on?

I tried looking everywhere else but couldn't find anyone else talking about it. I can't imagine it won't work since they're "compatible" networks, but it's concerning that there's no one online talking about it..
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] 1337haXXor:
Ha, nevermind. Verizon actually has a decent prepaid plan, so I can just get the VS995 and not have to worry about it. :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Phaze1585:
So, I haven't rooted my Mi Mix yet, haven't seen much of a reason to, but I know I will eventually. I received mine stock, so I had to install Google services. I like the themes on the phone, but is there a way I can buy new themes? And when the phone gets rooted ill install epic rom, is the theme store on epic?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] DainnCrowley:
Epic ROM has the global theme store in which all themes are free. The Chinese theme store on the Chinese ROMs have a bigger amount of themes and also has themes that are paid. You can also obtain themes from the MIUI Forum. Remember if you do get themes from outside the theme store, then you need to have a designer account to apply them. You can also use the MIUI 8 Tweaks module to bypass the designer account requirement for third party themes.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
yes, it does say its saving to the storage card. this is really weird, cuz it seems like when my internal memory lowers, the storage card estimate goes down as well.

[Amazon Fire Phone] bigrammy:
I had the same thing

I have bricked two phones now trying to get out of this situation. :o

Under Linux all the Partitions are available for viewing and some are even RW enabled like system and boot etc etc

Pushing via dd a stock system.img and boot.img does not seem to get you out of this "emergency mode" for want of better wording :confused:

Sadly the sdcard is NOT RW but is RO and forcing RW only cause the phone to bootloop back to this "emergency mode" so I could not push the the stock update.bin thinking maybe it would automatically install it then reboot. :(

Since I did have a backup of most partitions using dd I flashed what I could and that blow the fuse :eek: so now I get nothing at all from the phone totally dead, not even seen or detected by the PC.....

So the score is 2 - 0 to Amazon so far. :mad:

Maybe everyone who's phone is warranted should brick them and send em back to Amazon for repair and keep doing it over and over so they will eventually release the proper tools, firmware and just maybe unlock the bootloader when they are sick of spending $10000's on repairs and shipping. :fingers-crossed:

Ok... That's the problem, you are saying the pure true... If we had the bootloader unlocked at least we could repair by ourselves...

In my case, as not having support of Amazon in my country, I don't have another way that only buy pieces and pray... Because the shipment to send and return to reseller cost the same...

I have to replace motherboard, (and lower sensors, but these ones is because in the dissasembly broke)... so i think the only solution if is this type of brick is to buy a new moterboard, I hope to receive on monday the sensors, and fire again... but I will not spend more money with this phone...

I currently have 2 Firephones 32GB unlocked, and I would like to just change the motherboard to get 64GB, so I would like to know where you bought this motherboard at such a cheap price of $ 25.00?

Also I would like to know if it is very complicated or difficult to change the motherboard of the Amazon Firephone?

in ebay, shipmentt not included... I only say the price without additional suplements like shipment or others (my motherboard is 32 GB)

put this in ebay app or via browser, and you have it... now is about 15$+11$(shipment)...

I think the fire is only in 16 or 32 GB, there isn't 64GB

about replacing it will do my cousin, who is the expert in electronik things of my family...

but is a bit complicated, openning first time, the lower sensors crash..

Sucks that the Amazon link he posted, the item's unavailable. Hopefully it'll come back in stock. Curious about other glass protectors and if they're case-friendly. This one does look promising though.

Another one to look at as well. I actually am currently using one of their glass screen protectors for my S6. Haven't had any issues with it, so also good to know. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Anyone try the Zagg yet? It supposed to have full screen adhesive, hoping to see some user reports though since its $50.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] eddieloera:
Don't do it!

I went out to Best Buy yesterday to get the Invisible Shield Glass Curve by Zagg and was not impressed. I'm going to try and return it in a couple hours..

The touch response is horrendous. I almost want to call Zagg directly and suggest they pull all these products from stores because I'm sure many people will not be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] hotshiver:
:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Shoulon:
Zagg isn't even special. they just came around the market early with heavy marketing tactics. Uses the "it cost more , must be better gimmick."
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Thanks, looks like I will just go with a plastic protector. I've got a glass one on now but the touch sensitivity is pretty ****ty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] senor360:
Not a great cover

I'm in the same boat with this screen protector. I put it on last night. I appreciated the little frame to help you guide it, but the screen response is crap. There is one section that I have to forcibly push down for it to register. There are some parts that lift and you can hear the plastic coming down to make contact with the screen when being touched. Not the best fit, and for $50 it better be perfect. Calling Best Buy after work to see about a return / refund. There was a $24.99 one there that I'll try next, but it didn't curve.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] eddieloera:
Just returned mine.

I just got back from Best Buy like 2 hours ago. I returned it and they asked no questions. I did, however, keep the screen on until I got there because I wanted to explain that I was afraid of breaking the screen protector upon removal. They said it was fine and to go ahead an remove it. It came off pretty easily, which made me wonder how long it would have stayed on if I would have decided to keep it. I got my $50 back and I instead bought the $24.99 I think you're talking about. Also made by Zagg called "HD Clear." Its a floppy plastic one and a lot harder to put on correctly but this is the one I had on my S6 and I loved it. Currently I have my S8 curing so the small bubbles can evaporate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] senor360:
I'm wondering if after I return my Zagg I should just make a drive to the mall and visit the Ghost Armor kiosk and pay to have them put it on? Their website shows a 'case friendly' one costs $29.99 for the screen alone. Not sure how much the person putting it on would charge above that, but I've at least used them before and they also have a guarantee.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Eddie Hicks:
I had a tempered glass protector on my S6 that was great, but it had a flat screen so no issues. I tried 2 different tempered glass on my S7 Edge. Neither were any good so I went with a plastic shield that was OK but it's not the same as glass. I just put a Armorsuit plastic screen protector on my S8. It looks better than the one I had on my S7 Edge. If you go on Amazon and check out the reviews on the glass protectors, you see almost all bad reviews. The good reviews are probably mostly fake. I'm going to wait and see if someone finally makes a glass screen protector that actually works properly on curved screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Yashraj:
I ordered the Philonext on Amazon, arriving tomorrow. I will post later on how it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] rudyo78427:
The problem with the 3D curved tempered glass is that the adhesive they use is not like the flat glass versions. Not sure why no one can do this. If you look at all full coverage glass (had one for the LG V20, same issue) the adhesive is only on the outer most edges. Since the adhesive is like .02mm or so, the rest of the screen doesn't sit flat against the display. So this causes the user to use a bit more force to press down on the glass cover. Until someone can fully coat the glass with adhesive as the fully flat glass does, then all will suck. I bought the Verizon Full coverage glass and it's the same...bad touch sensitivity!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] komugi:
Apparently Zagg has this thing called "sapphire defense curve" -- is it actually Sapphire crystal? Is there actually any difference/will the touch sensitivity be better?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] boostedneonsrt4:
I have the GPEL for my S8 and its 95% full adhesive, there is a small sliver that runs on the very edge of both sides that doesnt have adhesive(less than 1/8th of an in on each side) and the very top and bottom edges are missing it as well. Looks like they put adhesive on the flat portion of the screen protector that touches the actual display and thats it. Touch sensitivity is good so far and it is case friendly, using it with a Spigen Tough Armor case. that being said it does have the touch dots so I'm sure they would interfere with the VR. I'd give it a 8/10 because of the missing adhesive. Still going to keep my eye on others and see if there is anything better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ah_hin:
I bought this and have put this on my S8, touch sensitivity is very good, no complaints. BUT, the adhesive edges catch lint and dirt very easily making the edges look kinda ugly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
Where did you get yours? Some of the reviews on Amazon seem to say otherwise. I have a feeling their are counterfeits out there already.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Think you have it backwards. There is only a small strip of adhesive that rounds around the edge of the glass. They even confirm this on the listing page.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Hawke84:
