I've got a K1 running Android 7.0 and am having issues getting it to connect to the hotspot on my Verizon Samsung S8+. Wondering if anyone has run into this before? My Windows 10 laptop connects just fine.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Flavio:
I am using the M3 as my phone and have a small Chinese Bluetooth handset that functions as a phone using Bluetooth to my M3.

It synchronizes my contacts as well but it does not have enough memory to hold them all.

There are several tiny Android phones on AliExpress which I would like to use in the same way and they would have enough memory for all my contacts.

Is there an App that would allow me to use the small phone as a Bluetooth handset when calling instead of it trying to use its own SIM which I would not fit.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] BillTheCat:
I bought a new SD card for my HTC10, created a folder for TiBu backups and transferred all the backup files from the M9 to the new SD card on the 10. However when I open TiBu on the 10, it doesn't find the old backups for apps that were on my M9.

I then swapped cards and put the SD card from my M9 into my 10 and everything was there, but some files are 'hidden' (or something like that) so I'm not quite sure what's going on here. Is this some sort of 'security-thing' going on with MM compared to LP? Or perhaps it has to do with the device ID?

In either case, if someone could help me understand what's going on here, I'd appreciate it so I know what to do. There wasn't anything wrong with the card I had in the M9 (a Samsung Evo 'orange') but after 2+ years, I figured it might be getting a little 'tired'. Perhaps that, too, is an inane assumption and I'm being overly cautious.

Thanks in advance for your input.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Well, I'm not positive about this, but you are trying to use backups from a different device and I'm not sure that will work well.

You'd probably do better by backing your apps to Google and restoring them during setup after a clean flash.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Magnum_Enforcer:
If you haven't already done so, you can go in to the menu, under preferences, and set your backup folder location as your external SD card. I have mine set up this way.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazyazoo:
Hello,

I have a FTV2 that is rooted with one of rbox's rom's. This FTV is in a guest room and not really even used. I would say it's almost brand new and maybe used about 5 times when we have had guests over the last year.

I had a guest and they told me they couldn't get the tv to work. I tried to turn on the FTV with the remote and nothing happened. I then rebooted the FTV by unplugging the power cord. I was stuck at the Amazon login page and can't get any further. I then connected by using the FireTV remote app on my phone.

I then went to try and repair the remote. It never gets reconnected so I tried to replace the battery. NOthing helped. I tried the back,option, and left button on remote for 15 sec but nothing helped with repairing. I then tried the home button for 15 seconds and it didn't work.

Is there a problem with the remote? It's practically new.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pix12:
The TV's Bluetooth module could be broken, or maybe your remote just flat out died. Did you drop your remote?

I'm using substratum on Touchwiz. Through this method you can theme only apps, not the system. Here is the method: BEFORE DOING THIS PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM, IM NOT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM CAUSED BY THIS METHOD. AND IF IT WORKS, ALL CREDIT GOES TO 'Gravedigger'

1. First apply any theme from Samsung theme store,

2. Apply substratum theme

3. Reboot

4. Go to system/vendor/overlay. Copy the files and move it to dada/overlay/style and then again data/overlay/current style.

5. Roboot

6. Apply the same substratum theme again, reboot and smile.:)

I managed to install as per the procedure on post 1 on Stock Rooted Note 5. As per point 6. to reapply substratum theme I reapplied the same theme i had installed thru samsung theme store and ReBooted it. Its very nice.

[General Questions and Answers] borcha:
Hello people of XDA!

I know that this thread may be repetitive, but I unfortunately didn't find any help in all threads regarding GSII's NAND r/w problem.

So in short, I will explain what happened to this device

I bought this GSII brand new as my 1st flagship device, and I am kind of sentimentally connected to it, if not I would've thrown it in trash a long time ago.

So here is the thing

I had stock firmware on this device (4.1.2 JB) , and after some time decided to flash CM 11 on it when it came out, and had it on my phone for 4-5 weeks but I instantly noticed that my device was overheating with that ROM so I decided to get back on stock firmware, unfortunately thing is that i flashed android 4.0.3 ICS (Movistar Mexico) then my device got bricked (I had a really bad knowledge back then about roms and things that I

SHOULD

and

SHOULDN'T

do), anyway I tried fixing the mess I made by flashing my original android 4.1.2 JB rom (Telenor Serbia) hoping that will solve my bricked device, but unsuccessfully. Then I tried flashing again standardly for maybe 4-5 times with no success and decided to explore more functions that odin provides, so I checked NAND erase all last time I flashed and I guess made a huge mistake, but still I couldn't boot my device, I tried hard resetting it (I lost my power button while replacing the screen of my phone, so I couldn't boot into recovery to check if device is soft bricked or really hard bricked, but download mode works just fine). Still I tried, I flashed custom kernels hoping they would fix this brick but nothing happened, I would really like to get this thing working again, I had no success at finding a good mainboard to replace the old one, and doing it in official repair shops and non-official ones costs more than the phone itself. Sorry for asking the same old question I guess but I would be really thankful if I could get this working again! :)

Esperando esto con ansias para poder ser root
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NeoBeum:
Just an update: TWRP Build server doesn't have enough room for new devices using the AOSP Build Base, so I have to make an OmniROM port to get the device supported officially. However, there are also changes being made to the Kitakami Platform (Z5 Family), which is the parent of the Suzuran device, so I need to wait to find out what's happening there. Should be in the next few weeks - as I was told sometime in June.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] MakeHav0:
Wait, seriously? We will see OmniROM ported to our device?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NeoBeum:
Yeah, I'm getting there... hopefully They're changing the Kitakami platform base, so I'm waiting for humberos or someone that knows what's happening to finish doing what they're doing.

They told me to not use the Kitakami tree for now.

You probably haven't read my other posts, I'm new to this, and this is my first android project.

But I will still be able to get the recovery supported without a complete OmniROM System build.

I updated the main post too
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NeoBeum:
The Recovery for Android 7.1 was a bi-product of testing a Android 7.1 build base for the Z5C, before I start working on the OmniROM 7.1, so I've added it to the list of Recovery images.

root is working, it was at the beginning, I just assumed everyone would think Magisk set root, I added root to the title to make it clear
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] netaccs:
Can you please provide guide step-by-step to stock firmware + root, recovery, drm fix, RIC and all other sony stuffs,

so we can easily root our z5 compact phones ?

Really I can't understand when to flash, what to flash.

When I do

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and boot to recovery I cannot install anything, (Magisk) it is "read only"
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NeoBeum:
ill need to get on my pc to reply

if you still have the recovery image I compiled flashed to recovery, you can leave it there.

Now what you need to do is use Flashtool and Flash 32.3.A.2.33, with normal settings, with the addition of Exclude FOTAKERNEL

[IMG="AA"]https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/1/7/0/7/6/0/XDA.PNG?key=xo0lh0ZXKBJb8lBMvmEzWA&ts=1496557603[/IMG]

While you're checking everything is set correctly, go in to the Flashtool prepared directory, %USER%/.flashTool/firmwares/prepared

Find the Kernel.sin, (not FotaKernel) - You need Kernel.sin because this is where the boot image is, and use flashtool to extract to Kernel.ELF.

Use the Rootkernel tool, Disable DM-Verity, Disable RIC, do not install TWRP, do not install SuperSU, do not install Busybox.

Flash the resulting Kernel.img using

fastboot flash boot Kernel.img

Now, if you boot to recovery and install Magisk, and then in usermode you still receive a fail for CTS/SafetyNet. The reason is because Magisk captured the modified Boot we just flashed.

To get around this (if you encounter this problem)- is to flash 32.3.A.2.33 again with the same settings as before, remembering to check Exclude FOTAKERNEL.

This time, when you go in to recovery, or boot, magisk will capture the correct Hash for a "virgin" System.

Done. This process is identical to [MENTION=5722545]mhaha[/MENTION] 's guide https://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/guide-how-to-root-z5c-painful-using-t3549388, it just uses the recovery, instead of boot. I'm trying to get in contact with Tobias & Androxyde, as I'm going to try and make a windows gui that does all of this together. I need a C# project for an assignment.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] netaccs:
I choose options you described. From "prepared" folder, copy kernel.sin, extract it

using Flashtool and now I have kernel.img

Starting rootkernel like this:

rootkernel kernel.elf kernel.img

Rootkernel V5.23

- Unpacking kernel

Found elf boot image

Kernel version: 3.10.84-perf-g1016077

- Creating new initramfs

- Creating boot image

- Cleaning up

Done

Now flash firmware E5823_32.3.A.2.33_R2D_MobilTel EAD BG.ftf

When it is complited, unplug the phone, but not power on yet

Connect via fastboot (volume up while powering) and run

fastboot flash boot Kernel.img

boot into recovery (power + volume down) - it is read only

reflash again ftf with Flashtool (wipe all, exclude FOTA),

enter to recovery and trying to flash the Magisk

When I install Magisk same errors: failed to mount, unable to mount.

I will wayt for full guide step by step.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] netaccs:
I try several ways to root + recovery + nougat. Other recovery example are working in different way.

Here it doesn't show the size of partitions when I select storage and other unusual things.

I will try with supersu instead of Magisk, but I din't the problem is in the recovery, not the Magisk.

pp. what is the difference between both, only the way of root, or Magisk has something more ?

This is the first phone I was unable to root :/

Could you point me in the right direction now ?

thanks guys
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Vi.sr:
In fact it is really simple:

downgrade to .200 and TA backup

7zip to extract kernel.sin from .54 fw

in Flashtool use Sin editor to extract kernel.elf from kernel.sin

copy kernel.elf to kernelroot directory (requires download app)

use command line like in first post to create boot.img with instructed parameters (DRM, RIC etc..)

use command line like in first post to create DRM TA ftf file from backuped TA partition and resulted FTF file copy to .flashtool firmware folder

flash via flashtool .54 firmware

bootloader unlock

via fastboot flash created boot img

via fastboot flash recovery in first post attachment

via flashtool flash created TA FTF

optionally flash via TWRP Magisk.
