[Shield Android TV General] lavero.burgos:
Hi, sorry can't give you detailed instructions right now. You'll find the info but a word of advice: Flash manually command by command in fastboot, DO NOT use the flash-all.bat and if you had 5.1 previously then there is no need to flash the bootloader (blob file). You need to be careful with that file, most hard bricks are caused by corrupted bootloader. Pay attention when downloading the Nvidia recovery image, make sure you get the one for your specific device model.

Cheers.

I unrooted and still couldn't update. Factory reset did nothing.
[Shield Android TV General] AndroidUser00110001:
Did you unlock bootloader? If so that is why you are getting the device is corrupt message...
[Shield Android TV General] lavero.burgos:
This update was different, it is a progressive update and it is the first time nvidia do that.

Nope didn't unlock anything it's fully stock and only bought it about 3 weeks ago.

If I flash the factory rom when they release it do you think that will help?
[Shield Android TV General] lavero.burgos:
Yes, most likely but are you able to boot into 5.1 system and use your shield normally?.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imilne:
Hi all,

I'm after some help with a 1st gen Moto G. It belonged to my mother, and was happily running CM for years before dying on her one day. She posted it back to me months ago...I failed to fix it then, and I'm not having much luck this time either.

It sits on the bootloader ok, and I can fastboot interact with it, but although attempts to revert to stock, or update TWRP etc look like they've worked, nothing ever changes. It's as if its storage has gone read-only.

CM is still there, but bootloops 9 times out of 10. Occasionally it'll start properly, before rebooting seconds later, probably because it can't write anything and it crashes out.

I can however, boot (not flash) the latest TWRP and play around with that, but even simple file operations like trying to delete anything fails ("process ended with ERROR 1"). I've tried clearing, factory resetting, reformatting, etc, but nothing has an effect. CM and the old files are all still there.

I don't need this phone, nor the files on it - it'll go in the trash if it can't be fixed - so not worried about damaging it any way in an attempt to revive it :D

Thanks

Everything you describe suggests Emmc corruption. Threads are created about it regularly. It's an issue that can effect any android phone, and while age could be the key factor - my launch-day Falcon has never had an issue. There is no cure.

However, try the below just in case I am wrong.

Flash the latest Factory Firmware Image for your model using mFastboot. If this is not successful, it would help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary.

Ah, interesting. It's not something I've come across before, so it's good to at least know what's (probably) wrong with it.

Not sure if this was the best way, but I booted TWRP and attempted to install via ADB sideload (couldn't think of any other way to get the zip across).

fastboot transfered about 26% of the file before exiting.

I have a Canadian Galaxy s8+ and no longer are we able to get the exynos model but we are stuck with the Snapdragon...

For the first time I can't root and I'm really for the first time not missing it!! With being able to debloat without root this thing is running better than anything I've had before and think root isn't necessary.

If anyone has any tips or tricks that we can use without root let's share.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dalanik:
Well, since there is no xposed for Nougat, I really don't miss root all that much. I have managed to do most of the stuff I need even without root. There are a couple of things that I did with Secure Settings plugin for Tasker that no longer work, but it is a small sacrifice and truth to tell I find Knox useful. You can disable/enable apps, have decent ad blocker, AutoTools has some nice functionality even without root, it is possible to turn immersive mode and stop warning about volume level too high with tasker, etc... so actually pretty good :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bill10:
Well it's been 2 months with my s8+ without root and I'm just as happy with it as I was the day I purchased it. Never have I had a custom ROM as smooth,. as bug free and battery life as good as this device without root. The only thing I'm missing is Titanium backup but when you think about it what's the point if your not switching ROMs? Why root when I'm getting 8-9 hrs sot with 2 days standby

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
As someone else said, there's adhell for blocking ads in apps and across the device. And the Samsung Browser, which is quite good, allows you to install adblockers and blocks all ads. You can run up to 10 ad blockers at once. I'm running 2 on my browser and I never see an ad.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
@OP

Yes you might use "ad thing" or "disabler" APK but a lot of people use custom Roms

and modify their system settings or other mods to thinker with their devices and is

important to them that they can do it as much as it's their right, Root is sort of a tool, IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Adhell is nice since it also has a built in package disabler. Not as extensive as Package Disabler Pro, but still quite useful and awesome for a free app.

So my wife and I both got s8+ when they first got released. It seemed as if when we first got the phones, they were running flawlessly and fast as hell. Now a month or so later, both our phones seem laggy and sluggish. I always run device maintenance on both to keep things cleared up. Dunno what else to try. Wish we had root already so I can get rid of all this bloat and unnecessary stuff. Any recommendations from anyone? Dunno if maybe debloating apps or programs with a app is possible without root?

I never faced any issues or lag except *bixby* for sure. I am using the exynos variant here i am not sure if it's something related to snapdragon chipset or not but

* we encountered lots of problems with note 4 snapdragon variants with emmc bug failure. The nand seems to be corrupted within 2 years and no solution for this kind of problem unless you buy a new motherboard

I bought this phone month a go and it runs as fast as it should

* my only advice for you is to try enabling debug GPU overdraw under developer option google it, definitely it's a 3rd party app causing this problem but in both phones i doubt.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bonerp:
Mine lagged at the start but cleared cache via recovery and it was sorted.

Have you tried using it in safe mode and then look for an app causing it? Try GSAM battery monitor to see if that identifies anything.

I remember a couple of years ago on my Note 5 mine suddenly lagged and it was after installing stagecoach app - wasn't showing in the monitoring tools or anything. I just deleted a few of the recent apps and bingo. Sorted.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] yash92duster:
stock official roms is perfect

disable some apps which came preloaded

uninstall the apps which came preloaded

check the apps you installed from your backup apks

those may sometimes cause lag in system

faced once in my s8+

after deleting it and installing directly from playstore fixed it

if you have installed all apps through playstore then check with gsam app to find the app causing issue

keep less and main apps alone in your device and use for few days and check if it causes lag

then install other apps and check if lag starts

finding faulty apps is difficult if you have 300+ apps

i have around 300+ 3rd party apps and stock 200apps and i have no lags at all

i have sm-g955fd exynos variant:D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] deathst:
Ehh it is very hard to judge since all our devices have different services and application installed. IF you have a remapper application or any application that makes accessibility a requirement (Found in settings->Accessibility under services). It is very lightly that is the first case which will cause your lag.

Facebook, as innocent as it looks, until now Facebook for Android is horrible. A resource hog that bogs down alot of devices. It will not show up on your battery list since it uses other services to it's dirty job.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] funtoosh:
I usually have zero lag, but sometimes it does lag and usually it's some app running in background causing it, sometimes even if a samsung app is being updated in background causes it, but most of the times it's very quick with no lag

I have the T-Mobile variant and mine lags constantly or apps force close or the Finger print reader just doesn't seem to work.

It's very frustrating. I love the design, screen, and camera of this phone but coming from a Pixel XL and then a OP3T this phone is noticeably laggy and performance hindered. Also the memory management is annoying.

I know everyone has different expectations of a phone and feels differently about "lag" and memory management but for me I'm constantly annoyed by this phone.

I'd been using Package Disabler Pro having stopped several services on my own which didn't seem to help. I just recently re-enabled everything to try it out for a few weeks to see if that helps and the phone is still troublesome. Unfortunatly until the OP5 comes out there really isn't another phone I'd want to use.
