[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] cmanns:
Howdy

I got a Samsung Galaxy J7 from MetroPCS "free if switch" deal after my iPhone started acting up not waking me up for work LOL.

Loving the switch to Android, I used to modify Androids LONG ago but were talking 4+ years ago.

First goal was make sure this phone was stable, seems pretty solid but now after (weeks~) of use it occasionally hangs up but then quickly comes to, say typing it'll slow down then catch up and run fine even my iPhone did that. Others here have complained of issues with them so seems I didn't get a dud!

Now I want to modify it but "Stable"

Phone use

My work alarm primarily

Browsing reddit with Relay app

Pandora

PokemonGO (Which I hear I can't be "rooted" but I can have different rom/kernel yes?)

EMail, lots and lots of Email (3+ gmail accounts one that can get an upwards of 50+ a day)

I don't think I need it overclocked, I'm not sure *what* roms metro model works with, do I need any of the Metro apps/can I still have "My Metro" for account changes?

Overall just want it a tad prettier (Like an S7 or something), and a tad snappier. The camera app also blows compared to my iPhone is that a limitation with the camera it's self?

Currently on 6.0.1 security patch 2016-11-01

So far Enigma looks like my best bet

Hi devs! Here i'm asking that is there a suitable version available of t"try angle away" app for sm-a520f, to reset the flash counter? Sorry if it is being discussed somewhere, i didn't find by searching. I'm a new owner of a5-2017, so i need this to safeguard my warranty.

No, it doesn't work any more.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kougami:
Hi,

I have a problem with this huawei Y635, when I power on, the smartphone do always de same loop: Huawei Logo, a blue screen(but during a very few seconds), black screen, and then repeat... Unless I press Volume -, then it starts the FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE, with the white screen, the android logo and in red letters PHONE Unlocked.

I tried:

1. With an UPDATE.APP, extract the boot, recovery and system .img, and with the fastboot, runing through the windows console, flash the three files and reboot the phone. Conclusion: Again, loop or fastboot&rescue Mode

2. Install the TWRP custom recovery using the Install-Windows.bat. Conclusion: Again, loop or fastboot&rescue mode

3. Download from huawei official website the original software and with the command "fastboot update"update.zip", try to install this official image. Conclusion: Again, loop or fastboot&rescue mode

So, please, I need any kind of help to terminate with the loop, it doesn't matter if I have to install a custom recovery or ROM..... But before install and loose all data, is there any possibility to find the contacts, the media, or any kind of file in the phone storage through the console or fastboot??

Thanks

Hi! i'm new in this forum so i i've got a question!

So... i've one Nokia Lumia 1020 (i use it for photos) but i whant to have snapchat or games like Pokémon Go.

if you whant to see my windows version i've the windows 10 mobile with no insider update or something just like this :D

Thanks to all! :good: :laugh:
[Nokia Lumia 1020] royroyal:
Sorry bro but we are outta luck here..As all such projects have been shutdown..meanwhile there is no possible way of doing this.

You can try Project Astoria but your windows 10 mobile has to be on a certain build to make the project Astoria work.(just google the build no.)

Or we can just wait till the great brains over here at XDA find something.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goggles2114:
My nook HD ha been sitting for a few months, and worked fine. Then the charger broke. I stuffed it in a box. Then recently realized i had enough money to pick up a third party charging cable that had decent amazon reviews.

Ten seconds charging: Five seconds with green, five seconds amber, then click.

I hold the power button and nothing.

Unscrew the tablet and battery's seated. Plug power in without a battery attached just for funsies. Red light after a fw seconds of rapid amber/green flashing.

Is there any way to revive this dead unit short of buying another battery? I halfway don't want to given the nook's charging cable design seems almost intended to fail with snapped wires. I just want to see if I can revive this thing or try pulling it apart to see if I can repurpose the screen or not.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSmirkOfRomanReigns:
I had to double check this wasn't a post I done a few months ago and forgot about...

I lost my charger, foolishly tried to force a regular 30 pin in before realising it had a proprietary port and bought one online that acted exactly like yours. Assumed it was due to me forcing the 30 pin in but maybe not!

Anyway, the solution for me has been to apply a bit more pressure when putting it in. So I'd insert it into the port until it felt comfortably in place and then just give it a little bit more of a push in than seems reasonable. In general after doing that I've had no issues for the duration where it's connected (I seem to recall it disconnecting once or twice afterwards a bit easily but not a common thing), it's not the most scientific of solutions but it has worked every time for me.
[HTC Tornado] elsmacko:
OK, I love the WM6 rom, because it is nice. However, the camera is really really bad on the one I installed, can't adjust lightness/dark, and even night time mode is too dark indoors with lights on.

Please post which WM6 rom has at least a halfway decent camera??

I am also interested in a camera .CAB file, if anyone knows where I can get one. Otherwise I am stuck trying different rom after rom...to try and find a decent cam app.
[HTC Tornado] luchino san:
dindn't try a lot of roms but in vjgrace's 3.7 camera is quite good imho...i don't think the poor 1.3 mp of tornado can do much more...as said in the other 3ad maybe you should try coolcamera if it works on sp5 wm6
[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
Tested, and it works :)
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
I'm pretty sure that no software in the world can ever get the Tornado camera hardware to produce even remotely acceptable pictures. ;)
[HTC Tornado] elsmacko:
I used it before with WM5, and it was a lil better then the WM6, this rom was made originally for a different hardware.

So, yes I am well aware of the hardware limitations but I did not know that UPgrading to WM6 was going to cause a DEgradation of the camera quality..because nobody warns about that. Then AFTER you install and notice it, you do a search and realize that it is common knowledge the camera sucks on WM6 on this phone.

I was the one posting how great WM6 is on this phone. Now I can't even make a call, when I try to it give and error. Apparantly I tweaked the settings and it was a tweak designed for a different phone...I got all kind weird stuff going on.

I see that rainbow colored battery thing...when I try to call...but I never installed lordsmitt's, or whatever it's called.

Now I am trying to find the clear storage in this thing go back to baseline and see how it goes....

As far as the camera, I have noticed you want to use the presets and not manually adjust the lightness cause it don't work at all.
[HTC Tornado] bukhariwaheed111:
I Absolutely agree , none of the new Roms have good cam old WM5 was atleast Ok with 1.3m hardware. Well with new added features in WM6 i think i can live without the cam. For good mobile cam one can always go for some nokia with good cam.

glad to see...I didn't tried it yet on tornado...any real improvement over wm6 rom's camera?

Hi,

I received an LG G6 LS993 as a gift at work. I have T-Mobile and would love to know if there is a way to have it unlocked.

Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Punk9:
I would like to know this too, I just got a Sprint LG G6 and have Tmobile. Every unlocking website that I go to says they can't do it. Anyone have a solution?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Gasaraki-:
No never.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ak_burton:
"No, Never"

If you don't know what you are talking about please do not respond. Way too much WRONG information out there concerning unlocking Sprint phones. Yes, this phone can be unlocked for GSM sim card use, as can every LG G-Series phone from Sprint starting with the G2. This can be proven with a quick google search so I wont bother with doing the leg work you obviously failed to do before you gave this person an incorrect answer. As for specific method for the G6, we are still working on it. You should check back with the forum periodically for updates.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] skyfox99:
So you say yes, but there's no way to do it?

Aren't there limitations in compatibility between Tmo networks and Sprint? Isn't the Sprint version CDMA based while the Tmo GSM? Or do they have both radios and it's merely enabling them?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Kendoro:
Every Sprint phone since 2016 has GSM radios and the frequency bands necessary for T-Mobile (and AT&T). Normally to get Sprint phones unlocked they have to be paid for outright (no contracts or device payment plans remaining) at which point they normally unlock them automatically. If this criteria is all met, then you should be good to go by popping in a T-Mobile SIM. Otherwise if it's still locked then it most likely is still under payment. Past history with unlocking Sprint phones has proven it to be a difficult endeavor when going through third-party, so more luck to you if that's the route you have to go.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tri_cchan:
All Sprint phones capable of LTE are automatically unlocked after they are paid for and can be used on almost any GSM carrier as the bands usually match up. They have the SIM ports necessary for other networks, used for LTE capability on Sprint.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] slawson:
Easily unlocked
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jaqual:
Sometimes if you just call Sprint and ask for the UICC unlock code they'll just give it to you.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rocz.mx:
What if I am not Sprint Customer and I don´t live in the USA?

Is there any way I could get the UICC code?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tri_cchan:
It's automatically unlocked once it's paid off. If you got it as a gift, it's already unlocked.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jaqual:
Then you shouldn't be using the LS993...it's the Sprint version.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tri_cchan:
It's quite possible he got it as a gift from someone, and they used Sprint.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jaqual:
That's possible, and if they didn't unlock it then he should still be able to call Sprint and they'd probably give it to him if it's ESN is clear.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ak_burton:
Lg g6 and lg v30 now succussfully unlocked. Working on remote solution....not likely.

I have converted the LG G6 and LG V30+ from Sprint, model numbers LS993 and LS998 to unlocked firmware versions of the same phone, the AS998 and H873 versions. This is done with an unlocking tool, it is not free but the tool is well worth its salt..... This tool can be found with a bit of searching so I am not going to disclose it here and get this thread shut down or otherwise. Suffice it to say no IMEI change is required as has been erroneously stated elsewhere, the phone acts exactly like the stock version (with no bloat at all) as far as I can tell .......and I do this for a living.....lol. I am sending this reply with a Sprint V30 unlocked without Sprints help and on the Simple Mobile(T-mobile) network. Currently getting the expected throttled to 20mbps speed I've typically gotten with LTE on a T-Mobile mvno.

It does spike to 60+mbps before settling at 20 so the speed limitation is definitely the network(my cheap ass) and not the phone or flash.

I am working on a remote solution and will notify if I am able to overcome the speed requirement needed vs risk to phone brick ratio down to a level I feel comfortable with. I do NOT like not having the phone in my hand when working on it..... I would be happy to share info for shipping to my shop so that I can unlock your Sprint phones, feel free to message me.

Does anyone know why Motorola doesn't officially post their stock ROMs for people with non-developer edition devices? It would be so much easier for us if they post their roms like other companies do. Is there a valid reason why they don't? It's as if they're trying to make it difficult to work on your own device and be able to revert to their own official build of Android.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] raaghul:
I dont know anything about s7 u version. I just thought about update and relaized that it depends on carrier. I contacted the Straight Talk through live chat. He said they dont update android os but after unlocking I can get updates. They didn't make much sense, so is it true after unlocking I will be able to do all updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
If the hardware is the same as the rest of the major carriers, like the S7 versions are, then flashing the firmware of other carriers will work if that's what you're going for. No idea if this will work as of yet but by the end of the week I'm sure we'll all know the answer to that. But by the sounds of it, you will need to get your phone carrier unlocked before doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] raaghul:
This is the first time i am coming to galaxy series, I saw the Samsung kies used for updating, so that software updates phone depending on carrier or common for all devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Dependent on carrier unless you are able to flash the US unlocked version, then it comes directly from Samsung. But like stated above, we're not exactly sure if that's an option as of yet.

Raised edges

Ultra thin

Hard case

Decent quality and grip
