[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghuM:
I would rather suggest you to directly install the latest stock ROM for our device I.e s433 instead of lollipop so you won't have to go through all the trouble of downloading and updating as the mm update is nearly a GB in size.

Here's the link to that

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEmkxrdpsgRMFpxX0VPT3FMODg/view

After installing the rom, install twrp recovery as mentioned in the above post, boot to that recovery and then flash this SuperSU zip. When that is done just reboot and you will have a rooted stock rom;)

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justwondering:
Hi, I have a slightly different problem would the fixes above help me too.

My issue started with installing lineage 14.1 using twrp 3.02, after a factory reset, due to selling to a friend, the phone now only boots to TWRP every time, so I'm kind of stuck in a twrp boot loop, I installed twrp 3.1 but that made no difference, still twrp loop.

So should I just follow the above method, not flash twrp, but just flash the latest official rom using the above method, to get the phone back to loading roms?
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghuM:
Yes you will be able to fix your phone with those methods. What you would want to do is this:

1) While your phone is booted to recovery, run sp flash tool on your PC.

2) Remove the battery and insert it again to power off your phone if you can't do it through the recovery.

3) Load all the required files in sp flash tool as written in the posts above.

4) Select 'firmware upgrade' option (This will wipe off your internal storage) instead of 'download only' and click on download button.

5) Now connect your phone to PC and long press the power button of your phone. You will see the download process has begun in sp flash tool. Wait for it to complete and leave your phone there till it completes.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justwondering:
Brilliant Ty, just to confirm, when you say select "firmware upgrade option" I should at that point have the stock rom loaded into flash tools, so that will over write current installed recovery and rom.

Then I guess, try lineage again, great rom, only the twrp boot loop has been a big pain, I have read this is because of using twrp 3.02, twrp 3.03 and twrp 3.1 are said to fix this issue from happening next time.

Thank you
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghuM:
Yes that's right, else the download process won't start. Once you load the scatter file it will also set sp flash tool to overwrite your current twrp recovery with the stock lenovo recovery.

When-ever i Plug my phone into USB with battery it auto boots into TWRP no matter what i do and SP doesn't even recognize or start flash
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RebornCheiko:
Hey guys i found a single solution that works for these kind of problems without losing your data or files.All you have to do is flash the .tar TWRP recovery file for your phone using ODIN via download mode.And in the options tab,make sure to uncheck "Auto-Reboot".Once Odin says pass,remove your battery,go to recovery mode and perform your back up.I guarantee you this works because of the "Auto-Reboot" thing hindering your phone to boot in recovery normally.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinK:
Hey XDA'rs,

I have a couple questions. I recently (today) bought the Sony Xperia Z5 unlocked Dual International Version with no warranty.

1: Where is the most updated root for this phone? And. Should I upgrade to nougat before rooting?

2: what is currently the best and most stable rom for the z5 premium?

3: any experience with VR and this phone? And anyone use daydream vr headset with it? I know you can trick the headset into allowing the z5 premium. Just curious if anyone had any experiences with vr on it good or bad :)

4: how do you like the device now and what do you dislike? Please tell me how long you owned it.

5: how water(resistant) is the xperia z5 premium. Can I take it in the pool, shower, or wash it off under a facet?

if you plan to ROOT your z5p ,,, this means you must unlock the boot loader and you will loose the drm keys!

before upgrading to 7.0 , while device is on android 6 use DIRTYCOW Sript xploit to extract and backup DRMKEYS/TAbackup

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinK:
What are drm keys and why are they important?

And should I root then OTA to nougat 7.0 or should I nougat 7.0 then root?

Will it stay rooted if I OTA update or will it remove flash?

Sorry, I come from Samsung devices with one-click rooting :P so I'm a noob otherwise
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:

I come from Samsung devices with one-click rooting :P [/B]

Say no more sir.

I can understand your questions!

Sony in way more sophisticated crafted phones both on hardware and stockrom level!

inshort

1. DRM KEY (Digital Rights Management Keys) are stored in special partitions called TRIM AREA (TA). these keys are required for some SONY proprietary software to work FULLY. 4k Recording in Camera, BRAVIA and X-REALITY Engines, enhance photo features while clicking photographs. if these keys are lost, it will affect the performance of the device

2. whenever you update your device, rooting gets voide so root after OTA

3. since your bootloader is locked , actually you canot ROOT your device! you can only flash stockrom! . or downgrade to android 6.01, extract drm keys via DIRTYCOW script and then unlock bootloader, upgrade to android 7.0 (N) and then root it!

in my xperience! the time taken by me to root 3 different samsung phones was equivalent in Rooting one Z5p :s

rooting sony is very tricky!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farius:
Hi, my phone suffered from bootloop and according to the tremendous posts about this problem the answer was always laying in buying a new original battery, which i did but still the bootloop continues, may open for a few hours then bootlop again,

if anyone could help that would be appreciated because i'm giving on the phone now :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpea:
mines doing the same thing with the original battery..

interested in the answer before i outlay for a v20.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

I had a bit of a hunt around and i noted that the phone has an issue with the WiFi.. so i disabled the WiFi and Bluetooth in the settings

as a precaution i ran some tape over the NFC and Qi battery charging connectors, blocking these connections.

if this solves the problems.. ill be outlaying for a new phone soon.. ill wait for the G6 to come out before considering the v20

ill post back in a week if i experience the same issues.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpea:
looks like this did not fix the issue.. i will try a custom ROM tonight to see if it fixes the issue..

i am wondering if the battery is the key here, it is possible that the software is seeing the battery voltage and when it drops below a certain volt the OS automatically shuts down the phone to protect itself..

as i only see the boot loop when i am launching particular heavy load apps. and i don't see this happening when the battery is at 100%

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
Do you have a reboot (phone restart) or a bootloop (phone try to restart but it never pass the boot screen)?

Have you noticed temperature issues?

If you have already tried return to stock and the problem continue it probably is a hardware failure.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farius:
before with the old battery it started to freeze and restart then it got worse, it closes and bunch of bootloops then open then 2 minutes and bootloop again, until it permanently bootlooped ,so i bought new original battery from lg store and the phone opened first time then 5 mins later it restarted then bootlooped once again, thing is, by the new battery it opens sits for an half an hour or less then bootloop, with the old battery it never passes the lg logo.

Hi , I have the exact same problem and i thought changing battery is the solution but i got my new battery today and everything was fine at the begining but later when the phone tried to update some apps again it turned off .

I had this issue suddenly few days ago after install some apps or some updates .. I am hoping it is because of software issues and can be fixed after factory reset.

(phone able to start when it is colder , so i tried to put it 2 min in freezer and it started but just tried one time , i dont know just coincidence )

After so many tries finally "kind of" stable solution i found.

Rooted phone and use No-frill Cpu app to block my cpu speed on 1 ghz .. so far no loop or restart ... we will see
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farius:
what about now ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sin1:
It is even better now because I opened up my phone and heatsinked the cpu .. I am still using lower cpu freq but even works without cpu adjustment after heat sink .. Now using 1.5 ghz just for incase.

(Still sometimes turning off itself when charging) Would be even better with heat sink pad i guess
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpea:
I had heard that adding a 0.5mm thermal pad to the SOC makes its run a little cooler, but i do seem to think the battery is the main culprit, the main problem with getting a replacement battery which operates within the same tolerances.

downclocking the cpu to 2.0-2.2ghz with a fresh battery and adding a thermal pad on the SOC seems like the best solution..

I have since upgraded to a v20.. so hopefully it doesn't happen with that phone..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gildegan:
Some old original baterries have an issue that swollen a bit and the phone starts rebooting itself. But I don't remember from which year the good ones are manufactured.

Try testing with a generic battery (as I do) to see if that's the issue.

If you still have the battery's warranty, claim it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR_007:
I got a new battery, then charged it fully, then added an empty SD card to back up the data. Connected to a fast charger., otherwise it is not enough power to keep it on, causing a bootloop. The phone must be cool, not powered on for some time (overnight, in my situation).

I was able to back up the data., my main goal. I have heard others being able to fix it, and it works for some time, but soon enough this trick no longer works.

Hey yall! I hope this is in the right place, if not my apologies. I got myself a G5 and I love except i made a terrible mistake...I upgraded the system from Marshmellow 6.0.1 to Nougat 7.0 and my phone has had nothing but problems and glitches. I want and really need to downgrade this phone to 6.0.1 but I have no idea how and id rather not brick my phone. I have been over several forums already on this site and none of them have the same procedure. One says i need to download this another says i dont need that etc etc.I would like to downgrade to 6.0.1 easily and with minimal risk if possible. If someone could give me a clear easy to understand step by step guide that would be much appreciated. I have the Canadian H831 running android 7.0. Software Version is h83120a.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] pepsiiperson:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
You need to download the Android 6 kdz. You can check here for one specific to your model https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/list-lg-g5-stock-kdz-firmware-t3365941. Once you downloaded the kdz use LGUP or uppercut to flash it to your phone. If you're unable to successfully flash it (like it errors out every time), it may be that you can't downgrade to MM from N. I'd try to use LGUP first, but if you can't get it to work try uppercut. Read those threads for instructions on how to use the tools. Feel free to ask more questions if you have any and I'll try to answer. Hopefully this helps.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User422:
Hey guys,

I have rooted my device over two months ago. The first ROM I had flashed was running nice and smooth except for a few issues like the camera issue.

After a week or so, I've changed the ROM and since then, I've always had problems. The ROM runs nice and smooth at the beginning and later (between ten minutes and three hours) the problems start again.

It never got bricked but it always kept shutting down, freezing (short), lagging, overheating, not reacting untill pulling out the battery or all apps and services crashing and so on.

I then managed it to get working better than ever before running a custom ROM (don't remember which one).

But that didn't last long. After a day or so the phone started lagging again. I've booted into TWRP and wiped cache and dalvik. The next boot ended in a "encryption unsucesfull" and I had to reflash the ROM.

What I've noticed today was that it helped to wait abit before turning the phone on again after pulling the battery out.

Since then I'm trying to figure out how to fix that.

I'm waiting for the Oneplus 4/5 anyway, and I'm not sure anymore if I should root that thing too since I risk to go through the same (or worse) struggle all over again.

If you need any further information to help me, feel free to ask for it.

With my Note 4, I have waited till the warranty time was over.

Thanks in advance :)

PS: Heat seems to be a huge problem. I don't mean overheating, I mean usual working temperatures. That would explain problems like the massive drop in performance as soon as I got in to my car which was standing in the sun.

PS2: Kind of solved. Downloading the wakelock app and setting it on "partial_wake_lock" helped.

After searching xda for a proper guide on how to get the G Pad 10.1 back to working order, I was unsuccessful so after a few hiccups I was able to bring the tablet back to life, so here it goes. This has been tested on a LG Pad 10.1 (e9wifi), photos archived below for reference. I found the firmwares for the V700 online and i will post the link below so you can them to.

After flashing the G Pad 10.1 you WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR FILES AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR BELOVED TAB.

0. So first of all, in order to avoid detection errors in Windows install the appropriate drivers linked here.

1. After installing the drivers, download your firmware here and LG Flash Tool 2014 here.

2. In LG Flash Tool 2014 make sure that the Select Type is 3GQCT and the PhoneMode is EMERGENCY. Also select the .kdz file (firmware) by clicking in the folder next to Select KDZ file that you previously downloaded. Then Press Normal Flash.

3. Next click START and when the Select Country & Language window appears just select OK.

4. After that turn your tablet off and press the Volume UP key and connect the tablet to the PC.

5. Just the the program do its thing and after 5 min or so the tablet will be booting and working just as normal. :good:
