[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
After I got my Huawei Nova, I hesitated to root it for like 1 week or so just because i was afraid that I may encounter some problems with the phone itself since it is my first Huawei phone. Now it is rooted and guess what: I read that on Huawei we still have warranty after we relock the bootloader by reinstalling stock ROM, since there isn't any counter like on Samsung (Knox 0x1). I would have rooted it even if there would have been a counter.

I guess you already know what advantages has a rooted phone or that installing custom ROMs (like the famous CyanogenMod, now called LineageOS) or custom kernels can improve your phone and have a better experience.

Why to give up these? For a warranty? I rather enjoy my phone and use it the way I want, to it's full capability. And you know what? Android smartphones aren't really "smart phones". You can make them really smart by rooting them.

I still have my first Android smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Y which is old and still alive without any problem. But it isn't being used since 1-2 years or so (it's battery is dead, but is replaceable though and also it's quite old and slow). It was rooted, overclocked and God knows how many times I've flashed ROMs :D.

I also have my previous phone (before I got J5 2015), the Samsung Galaxy S Advance, which is also alive. With this one I had a problem. When I've been running AOSP 4.4 (custom rom and rooted) and browsing, the phone suddenly froze and after I've powered it off, I couldn't power it on anymore. I still had some months left of the two years warranty. Then I went to Samsung service and they've said that motherboard is dead and got a free repair.

After owning 3 Samsung phones, I can tell that they're quite durable phones. However, I don't think I'll ever buy one because it's running Crapwiz.

Go on and root your phone, without looking back.

And if you have J500F or J500FN and the downgraded camera quality or slower charging time of LineageOS, Snapchat video recording and FM-Radio bugs aren't a problem for you, then try LineageOS 13 (which is an updated version of CyanogenMod 13) and you won't regret.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] BlackAxiom:
Warranty doesent cover dropped phones, broken displays unless you paid more for Screen insuarance / protection.

there are people who got their device fixed even tho the counter said 0x1 :D
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Koloses:
In European Union knox 0x1 doesn't break your warranty.

Repair service may still try to screw you over though, so you should prepare given EU directive that talks about case like this. It's been laying around xda for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] The_LLH:
Insightfull :)

thanks guys

I'm just gonna do it.

Don't know why I waited in the first place,

this touchwiz is... something :P

Besides I see Lineage OS is on the way (I've got J510FN) so that with some tweaks is probably going to satisfy my needs.

#Henkate Lol

I still have my first Android smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Y which is old and still alive without any problem.

I still have that device!! Actually the single sim and the dual sim version too. First battery is dead but the dual sim is alive and kicking!!! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Ragazzza:
Man you deserve a reward for this reply.

Samsung is kind a phone that just needs to be rooted, either for debloating it (since without it, it becomes unusable and laggy) or either for custom roms

And yes, actually, my friend bought Huawei P9 brand new, just when it came out on market and it came with that special kind of warranty (the one that even if you break your device, like display or something, the service must repair it for you for free. The only one thing that breaks the warranty is root.

So two week after my friend bought it, he rooted it and he was messing with the speakers sound, and he somehow completly blew them :D they couldn't work anymore, he knew that they wouldn't do anything since phone is rooted, so he flashed a faulty kernel (my idea lol) and after that the phone wouldn't turn on no matter what.

He just took the phone to service and said he dropped the phone, they told him that the motherboard is most likely damaged from fall, and guess what they gave him a completly brand new P9 :D

he never rooted again but he did buy me a lot of beers during that week :D
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] The_LLH:
haha I'll have to try that :D
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] :
Lol i have a similar story, basically my first andoid phone was a ZTE Blade 3 and i started putting all kinds of roms in it, until i put a rom from another ZTE (different cpu than mine) The device wouldnt even budge when i hold the power key anymore but i still had like some months of warranty, and they replaced the motherboard for free XD
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] The_LLH:
Are you talking about the fact that I have a warranty with the shop/company that sold it to me, not Samsung itself? From what I read around XDA that is the case, right?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] infixremix:
So u have a one year warranty from Samsung and should have another year from the shop you bought it from

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadi50:
I rechecked and its fine. I can search it.

Are you trying to convert "1111..." before searching.

If yes then dont. Directly search for "1111..." in editor.

Its a random nmbr i put just as a placeholder only...

Just convert your imei only before replacing in file.

Man I appreciate a lot for ur help, but unfortunatelly this QCN if I put, it will brick my phone again on bootloop cuz this qcn model is for MSM8939, as well my phone is MSM8916

But I really thank you. :p
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorfs10:
Same model ze550kl, 2gb ram, 1.2 ghz quad core.

You need to use an hex editor and imei converter. Use your imei in imei converter and search in hex editor for bytes 1111111111 and overwrite it with your imei converted. Do the same thing with second imei, but this time you have to search for 1111112. There is a software that can change sn but i cant remember. When i have more time i ll make a better tutorial explaining how to use this qcn if needed.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leelka:
Well you are saying cuz at the time of inserting the file in qpst to restore, it will show like this is not for this model.? Ignore it. Cuz i got it too and ignored it and restored. Voila it worked.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kensk8:
Ok then. Thanks :)

Download 00000000.qcn from aadi50 post

Download HxD https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

Download IMEI Converter

1 - Open IMEI Converter

2 - Put your IMEI and click on "Convert IMEI"

3 - Copy the number after "08"

4 - Open HxD and open 00000000.qcn in HxD.

5 - Go to "Search > Find"

6 - In the "Search for" box put "1111111111111111"

7 - Change "Datatype" to "Hex-value" and change "Search direction" to "All" and press the "Ok" Button

8 - HxD will select the 1111111111111111

9 - Now click with right mouse button right before the first number 1 and select "Paste write" to paste the converted IMEI without "08"

10 - Do the same thing for IMEI 2 But Search for "1111111111111112" in HXD and use your second IMEI

11 - Now save the qcn file in HXD and flash it with qpst

Now you have the right IMEI in your cellphone.

Dont forget to do a factory reset.

I hope it works for you. ;)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kensk8:
dude really good work u've done, thanks for tutorial and for ur time for made it, I'll try follow this steps I think that now its possible to recover my IMEI :P

Have u something to recover others things, I mean Serial Numbers in that case, to recover my phone SN, it was with unknow number, like 28779dc2 and lost it SN for Bluetooth and Wifi too, and now I've got a error too in TWRP "Error /factory mount" and same to try it on flash any Custom Rom, I don't know if cuz this missing SN or error on /factory, cuz I do all steps requested on Customs, Unlocked Bootloader, lastest update asus Ze550kl v.2196 stock rom, I've tried clean everything too for a clean install, tried delete 3 folders after flashed a custom rom in /system/etc/firmware "modem folders" as sugest on another post here in forum, nothing work for me :/

tried all variable customs possible like, based on all versions, 8.0, 7.0, 6,0 as dotOS, Rescurrection Remix, LineAge OS, and with old Cyanogen based 13.1, 14.1, and 15.1 Nothing work on my phone.. I'm very sad :crying: :(

Anyway I really appreciate ur help guys!

PS: Sorry if have some errors in my English (Brazilian).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorfs10:
There is a software called IMEI & SN writer

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-d...repair-corrupted-invalid-imei-signal-t2927078

You can use it to change sn, imei, bt and wifi mac address to fix this.

For the factory i had the same problem after downgrading to an older lp version. To fix it i had to flash an old asus test version using emmc raw flash tool, after i had to flash the qcn again, flash the asus stock rom and unlocked bootloader again to flash custom rom. Its an extreme dangerous process that can kill your phone. I cant remember now all the steps i had used in this, and i dont want to kill my phone to try. I can boot every custom rom but sometimes i have some issues with bt and wifi on most of oreo roms that are not based no luks lineage.

Ps: Br here too. :p
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leelka:

Thanks bro for that help but, unfortunatelly isn't work :/

show as "PASS" like wrote a SN, BT and WiFi but when I reboot and check it for Read SN, BT and Wifi shows as a blank space yet, so I did try many times to repeat process and happens same.. shows a blank space when I ask for Read :/

But anyway thanks for the try and for the help.

I guess its not possible to write this options not in this phone at least I think. :(

I've tried in another program to write the both SN Numbers, but when I ask to write the values it return for me that has an invalid SN.. well seems I need the correct SN of device to perform such thing. :rolleyes:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did IMEI repair with a QNC, it gives me a IMEI back show my IMEI's on *#06# but no Network :(

When I try something on dialpad gives me an error like Airplane mode ON but is not, I check it say OFF

I don't know anymore what I can do.. sad~

Simply asked, is it possible to enable any missing LTE/radio bands on a unlocked N910A being used on T-Mobile?

I have a N910T which has band 4 (as an example) and as I understand the N910A does not have that band enabled. I've noticed the N910A on T-Mobile does work - signal quality on the N910a is not as good as on the N910T...

(I didn't know the N910A had a locked bootloader when I bought it, I thought I could root it as easily as I did the N910T. But I quickly learned that was not the case *sigh*)

Well if anyone can assist me in getting the wife's N910A working better on tmobile I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] frangesgo:
Hi guys (I'm from Italy, sorry for my elementar english),

My Samsung J500F (rooted, with stock rom lollipop 5.1.1) have a little problem with link2sd: my phone have a ridicolous memory of 8gb, for this reason I buyed a new SD card of 16gb for create a second partition with minitool partition, the first partition is primary FAT32 and the second is primary ext2. Now I have two partition of 8gb and 8gb. Then when I launch link2sd it seems that it recognize the partition and allow me to choose the type of partition.

But when i tick ext2 (I also tried to do the partition of the SD card in ext3 and ext4) and restart the phone link2sd always show me the dialog of choosing the type of partition. There is not any error message or something like that.

Any suggestion? Thank you all
[General Questions and Answers] dcatoffm:
It sounds like it's detecting the second partition but it is isn't persistent through reboot. This usually indicates S-ON or some other security scheme undoing the mount script.

Check my post from a couple weeks ago and see if it helps. I'm curious. :)

I want to use MicroG instead of using GApps. Are there any ROMs with signature spoofing enabled for Xperia SP?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex.vr7:
Possible ways to add signature spoofing

I was just reading about this yesterday, as I too had the intention of replacing GApps with MicroG. The usual methods require you to install a module called 'FakeGApps' in Xposed before flashing MicroG. But since there's no Xposed available for 7.1, there seem to be a few workarounds.

Here's what I found:

Guide to allow signature spoofing on any LOS14.1 device without Xposed (http://www.gabsoftware.com/tips/how-to-use-microg-on-lineageos-or-cyanogenmod-without-xposed/)

You need a PC-based tool made by [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] to first patch your rom to enable signature spoofing (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/tingle-fork-needle-t3438764)

I'm not sure if you have to flash MicroG files before or after patching your rom with the above mentioned tool. Anyway, here's a couple of links to MicroG posted in other devices' forums: Link 1, Link 2

Alternatively, I think we can use a Magisk-based module called NanoMod made by [MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION].

I haven't tried either method yet. Will try it out later today. Meanwhile, you may experiment with one of the two methods posted above at a time; I don't think its wise to try installing both at the same time. Just saying. Do share the results with us!

Have a nice day!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ale5000:
It is always better to patch before installing microG, but in most cases is the same.

To install microG, there is also microG unofficial installer (compatible with all devices and all ROMs).
