"OEM Unlocking". Check the box. This SHOULD disable the FRP lock as well. ??

SO before i was gonna flash custom recovery i turned on OEM Unlocking and usb debugging. I have done this many times before.

But now i get the Custom binary FRP lock. This happened right after i turned OEM unlocking on and restarted I didn't do anything els. Isnt this how you are suppose to turn the FRP lock off...

Because it has always worked before my phone isa J500FN

Now i have to recover the phone kies doesnt support my modell.. Been like this for a half year. So need to use Odin and flash default firmware i'm doing 5.1.1 I believe the marshmallow os did this. Or I have setup some protection against it so I have to turn it off. Iv read that samsung app have a way to turn off FRP and your google account got it too. So have to check into that later if this flash will complete fine I hope.

Kies is deprecated now i think it's SmartSwitch

SmartSwitch doesn't support j500fn ether.

Just because it says it doesn't support, it doesn't mean it can't download the firmware. Use the upgrade option and put in your model number and serial and it will download the the correct firmware.

Hi !

I might have erased the boot partion. I still got the unlocked bootloader screen, and can still get in fastboot, but that's it. I can't boot in TWRP. I've tried to flash the boot.img from the stock zip, but it doesn't work... anyway to fix this ? It's the A2017G model. All i need is to get into TWRP.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Exnocte:
I've tried to flash TWRP several time, but it won't boot...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
you can try getting into EDL and using MiFlash to flash one of the zips on the Russian page 4pda. Go to the debrick page (the one with the phone carnage pictures inside), find the links for the chinese full recovery package. it will get you to the 4pda page. from there find a package that suits your needs (there is one with aboot and fbop) and flaah with MiFlash

Otherwise download the full B10 recovery package and flash it with MiFlash. you won't lose data but it might conflict if you were on Nougat
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sn8K:
I'm in this situation for some days...

No EDL, No recovery, only fastboot and FTU modes are accessible.

And we can't flash via Miflash. It sees the phone only in fastboot mode, and can't flash it.
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] : 2 ways to recover :

- Test points method to force EDL and flash via miflash

- Return to ZTE

If any1 has other solutions ...

FYI : My tests so far :

- Flash boot / reboot / flash recovery : Stuck on ZTE logo, red led on permanently

- Hot load recovery (fastboot boot twrp.img): Command unknown

- Format userdata/cache : No work

- Flash via Miflash in fastboot : "Can't find Eraseall except Data.bat"

- Change drivers by some others one : No luck
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tron1:
I don't know what you mean with FTU mode, but if FTM is meant you should be able to send a "reboot edl" command to activate the EDL mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sn8K:
Humm ... Early morning for me ... i meant DFU. Vol+ & - while powering the phone Result on a black screen, and driver is recognized as Handset Diagnostic Driver (DFU COm port x)

Ind in that kind of brick, FTM is not accessible either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. If you get ZTE handset diagnostic driver on Ports COM&LPT you'll have to take your device apart and use the test point. If it is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 it means that you're on EDL. I'd reccomend trying to use miflash like i described, if it doesn't work return it or take it apart
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piet8stevens:
Maybe a bit late for a reply, but I was able to get out of a similar situation (from DFU) by holding power and volume down for a long time. That got me to FTM and then I could reboot into edl via "adb reboot edl". Then I used the Axon7toolkit to flash fastboot and from there I could get to twrp and back in business. Any questions, let me know.

I've got some stereo audio going into a USB audio interface which I want to record onto my phone.

I've plugged the USB adapter that came with my S7 edge into the mini firewire/charging port of the phone, and connected the audio interface USB cable to that. I've tried a couple of stereo sound recorders like recforge but when I record the audio going into the phone from the USB, it comes out mono only and I want it stereo.

Is the phone not equipped to record stereo from USB or can anyone recommend an app or driver?

To access either mode, you'll need to hold the Bixby button along with the respective volume button when powering on the device.

Bixby + Volume Down then holding down the power button to turn the device on brings up Download Mode.

Bixby + Volume Up then holding down the power button to turn the device on brings up the Recovery console.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] veralynn:
I bought myself a new yoga plus LTE yesterday.

I've been working on the big file issue with larger files than 4gb on sdcard.

I fixed that issue by formatting the card as a internal drive and move all apps there.

The thing i dont like is that i lost all the 32GB on ghe original drive as that wont show up anymore as a usable space.

On my friends tab his internal and card got put togheter and he got one large drive containing both the card and the internal storage. (Lenovo tab 3 x50 i believe)

So my tablet seems slow, it hangs on Facebook and messenger and it disconnects wifi etc.

Its buggy...

So, i just recently had a Nvidia shield tablet and it was also slow, so i downloaded the stock rom and adb flashed it with recovery flash and it became superfast again.

I believe after updates some files gets overwritten and it causes problems.

Normal factory reset wont fix it either.

It needs reflashing..

So here is my questions.

I need stock recovery files, and then i also would like to root it so i can get to use my internal drive as internal and to have a Exfat sdcard to be recognized do i also need to know how to get there as well.

Im sure this tablet after full recovery with latest updates, a exfat support will be very nice.

I also maybe need TWRP to flash it with the files needed to get it to read exfat??

I don't wanna return it as i like it but it only needs exfat for me to be perfect​.

Please help me out so i can collect all files with links and to have some tutorials of Wich to do first etc.

I will then make a good thread containing all these so we all can enjoy the best of this nice tablet that really gets killed by not recognizing exfat.

I mean i like to have 4K material and i dont wanna be limited by Lenovo beeing to poor to buy the exfat license.

Its been a Lenovo issue for many years i cant understand why they wont fix it.

My tablet is the YT-X703L

MANY THANKS ALL OF YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
Regarding the slow down, flashing an image won't help you there because you will end up with exactly the same system that you have now. This is due to the block based updates. We all have exactly the same system and boot partitions. The only thing you can do is a factory reset

The exfat issue is big annoyance I agree. It's only half Lenovo's fault though. Microsoft is the bad guy here since they conspired to get the exfat file system set as the default file system for large SD cards and want royalties from the OEMs. I don't want Microsoft to get a single dime for something as trivial as a new file system without any special features.

What is Lenovo's fault is giving us old kernel sources that prevent us from easily building custom kernels that include exfat. There were FUSE based solutions for older Lenovo tablets that could potentially be updated to work for us but FUSE isn't ideal since it's slower than a kernel based solution.

I need some help restoring my contacts. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active i9295.

Here’s how I lost my contacts:

I decided to root my phone and try some custom ROM’s. So I found this forum thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649691.

1.	I installed CWM via ODIN

2.	Installed root via CWM

3.	Installed “Online Nandroid” app and made a backup of my system, I put it on my SD card and copied it to my PC.

4.	I wiped data, cache, dalvik. And flashed RR Rom via CWM.

5.	Rebooted in to RR and found that all my contacts are gone.

For some reason they were not saved in my google account.

After that I tried to restore my contacts by various methods:

1.	Restore backup in google contacts. Even 30 days back it is empty.

2.	Restore the nandroid backup I made in the beginning. No luck, I get an error when restoring data. As I read somewhere afterwards CWM cannot handle backups above 2 gb. My data file is 4,5 gb.

3.	I tried replacing the contacts database files from the nandroid backup manually in com.android.providers.contacts. Nothing happened.

4.	I tried the method to convert the contacts DB file in to Vcard file in linux. No success.

5.	I tried using “APP Extractor” to restore contacts. No contacts restored. But I start to get an error “The process android.process.acore has stopped working.”

At this point I am out of ideas. I can see the individual contacts via Nandroid Manager app, but no way of restoring them except doing it manually one by one.

Here is your answer

Yes you can send messages to non-contacts. Here is the procedure

At first, you need to Install an app named as “WhatsDirect”, freely available on Google Play Store. The direct download link is given below tap on the app icon to download.

After installation, accept the app permissions and continue by swiping the startup tutorial.

On the home screen of the app, we see two options – Mobile No. & Message Content. (Must use your country code on the starting of the number).

Enter the mobile number and write the message content in the below box and tap on “Send Message”.
