[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzwin444:
Hi guys, here's my dilemma:

Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 (I forget which)

Rooted & Full device encryption

Want to recover my information if possible; no factory reset

My questions:

Is there a way to fix a system to recover my data on a rooted & fully encrypted device?

Would flashing work, and how would I go about the recovery process?

Do I need to know the exact OS (cant remember if 5.0.1 or 5.0.2)

Is there a way to get the encrypted data copied and decrypted so I can read it again? (I heard something called adb can be used?)

Things I have tried: Powering down for a while, clearing cache partition, etc. This is the 4th time it has happened in 1.5 years, and I'm tired of it. Warranty/insurance affected by root status so would have to pay for $150 trade-in. Just want my data and ideally move to a new phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fOmey:
Do you not have a recovery backup you can restore ? What exactly are you concerned about loosing in terms of data.. are you worried about loosing pictures saved on your phone or say.. text messages ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzwin444:
[MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] - I'm not sure if I had a recovery backup. I did have TWRP(?) installed, though. I am worried about losing many pictures and also app data (to do lists, etc.) that aren't synced with a cloud service.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fOmey:
Boot into TWRP and check if you have a backup, if you don't have a backup you can dirty flash your rom and with a bit of luck you'll boot into your OS.

the problem is that i lose the network signal because invalid imei problem

i downloaded the official rom from huawei site Y520-U22V100R001C328B111

and installed it from the SD card from android system recovery e3 screen

bu selecting update from sd card or by using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1320.0.174 which is included in the official rom downloaded through usb cable

and it worked but with invalid imei in both methods

i tied formating the phone with the bootloader file too as Huawei site explain and downloaded the rom again

it worked too but with invalid imei problem too

i tried to solve the invalid imei by rooting the phone or without rooting it and both methods worked and the phone works for couple of days then it fails again with "Unfortunately app has stopped" messages and invalid imei again then stuck again at android system recovery e3 screen

what else to do please ??!! :crying: i am hopeless now

Can you try this? Good luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdelrahman Elsobky:

But this is not my main problem , i can solve the invalid IMEI problem by 2 successful methods.

My main problem after flashing it , it stay couple of days works properly then some apps stop working and messages like " Unfortunately app has stopped " appear and when restart it it stucks at the android system recovery e3 screen

i am using the official rom from huawei site to flash it .

What to do else ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramiabouzahra:
I assume you've redownloaded the ROM to remove possible corruption. Hmm, get a log for when that happens (maybe you did a pattern?) And do some research on it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdelrahman Elsobky:
Sorry , i did not get you . what do you want me to do exactly ?

the phone situation now is stuck at android system recovery screen , and there is a file cllaed update.zip i moved it to SD card to apply update from sdcard , i got it from Huawei site was in Y520-U22V100R001C328B111 .rar

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
Has anyone seen this before? Is it possible to have this manufacturing defect covered outside of the warranty?

Short description: it appears that the adhesive in the top right portion of the screen is letting go, and air is getting between the glass and frame. Phone has been in a case since day 1, and treated well.

I love Android, but a defect like this, and no help from my carrier or Samsung, make me want to switch to apple and apple care [emoji20] [emoji52]

TIAhttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/593718381a0e6/IMG_0274.JPG
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] reffu:
The glass in that picture looks like a glass screen protector, and not the glass of the actual phone front (the actual glass does not cut-out around the light sensor and camera and instead is entirely flush along the front of the phone except for the speaker and home button). It may have been put on when you first got the phone, but it shouldn't be a problem to remove it/get a new one if necessary. It might even be possible to reapply the existing one, depending on the brand and what glue was used to attach it initially.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
I understand thinking it's the screen protector (or screen protector related), however the air pocket stops where the protector begins.

The "bubble" now extends down to the power button.

I've attached a new picture to try to show better the issue, and that the screen protector isn't relevant.

View attachment 4176296
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] reffu:
Ahh, my mistake then, this picture does make it clearer. The only thing I can possibly think of is that the screen protector is adhered to the glass tighter than the glass is to the digitizer (or heat/age weakened the adhesive holding the glass to the digitizer) and so pressure put on the raised screen protector (from being in a pocket/bag or pushing against other objects) is separating the glass from the digitizer. I'm not really sure if there's a solution, other than replacing the screen.

Hi guys!

What are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] joooe:
Guess what. There a lot of threads about screen protectors. Check them out.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tassadaru:
Greetings.

I've recently been struggling with a problem with my Galaxy S6 and I've searched far and wide on the interwebs for a solution, with no avail.

You see, whenever I turn my phone on, or wake it up from the lock screen, the screen flickers one or two times, but doesn't always turn on.

They keys are active, touchscreen is active, but no image.

Sometimes I have to try and unlock my screen two or three times to get an image, sometimes it turns on after the first flicker.

An example of what I am experiencing is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyiDgpUSkaE

[edit] Another example is this: when switching the display brightness, the screen goes to crap and starts flickering like crazy, and at minimum brightness text goes unreadable and small (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIMFaCy_KVY

I am not rooted, everything is stock FW, I had android 6 stock and recently upgraded to 7 stock OTA and the same issue persists.

I cannot access download mode or recovery because the screen won't turn on. Only time it turns on is when Android is booted. Even when booting, the blue led flashes because the device is booting but I have no image.

Please contribute with some ideas, I cannot wipe cache from recovery because I can't see anything even if I try to boot recovery (or download).

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesman:
Did you resolve this issue? If so, how? Mine started to do the same after a short fall. My initial thought was hardware but I can get into recovery and the screen functions just fine there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] omegaorgun:
My house is in a place where LTE is low. With MIUI it manages switching between 4g and 3g better than say Lineage OS where i have an empty 4g bar.

Certain custom ROMS like Bliss manage it much like MIUI in this weak LTE location.

My question is what is different about how Lineage etc handle this network switch and what is difference between it and Bliss?

Is it a graphical thing or network thing?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bloodytolits:
Can you use 4g on LOS even with 0 bars? How about on Bliss(Basically any CAF based roms)?

If no or yes on both then it's a graphical thing.

I'm actually getting better 2g signal(only signal I can get inside my room) on CAF based ROMs. At 1st I thought it was just a graphical thing as I can't call(immediately loss signal when I try) but I can receive a call whereas in LOS(0 signal), I can't.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
Yes, CAF based ROMs will give you better and more stable signal. Try Bliss or Citrus

Hello [MENTION=7406601]Whisper™[/MENTION] ,

First of all, OwnROM isn't in V4.2 but V4.0,

Second, I'd like you to make clear in the thread that it's an unofficial build...

And last but not least, if you like to maintain it officially please contact me on telegram (@OwnDroid)

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] TheKaptone:
I have always used Adaway from nexus4 Mate7 nexus6p and now mate 9, however it does not block any of the additional have never normally had to put up with. Usually​I use fdroid to get the apk and then just download it update the host files and away it goes. I have never had to adjust settings or anything. Is there something I am missing on the mate 9 to get it running properly. Would really like to have it working properly

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] st_voss:
In the Mate 9 stock ROMs /system/etc/hosts is just a symbolic link to /vendor/etc/hosts

> adb shell ls -l /system/etc/hosts
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 2017-04-11 07:35 /system/etc/hosts -> /vendor/etc/hosts

So I would suggest that in Adaway's config set "/vendor/etc/hosts" as user defined target.

And if your using Magisk do not activate "systemless hosts file" in Magisk Manager.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mattjov:
> adb shell ls -l /system/etc/hosts
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 2017-04-11 07:35 /system/etc/hosts -> /vendor/etc/hosts

Thanks: I am having the exact same problem. I changed the configuration of AdAway to overwrite /vendor/etc/hosts instead. I verified that the contents of /vendor/etc/hosts have the list of domains that AdAway put there. But then when I reboot the phone, the /vendor/etc/hosts is reverted to the original contents.

Superuser is showing that Adaway does have root access. Any other suggestions on how to stop the /vendor/etc/hosts file from getting overwritten after a reboot ?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
Thought I'd share how I upgraded my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 to Nougat (G920TUVU5FQE1 ) with root, deep sleep and SafetyNet bypass.

*** Read all step before starting as you will need to download and copy several files to your phone first ***

NOTE: This method will trip Knox!

Reboot into Download Mode

Flash G920TUVU5FQE1_G920TTMB5FQE1_G920TUVU5FQE1_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin (I used v3.10.6)

Download from Android File Host | Google Drive.​

Reboot into Download Mode

Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin

Flash Magisk zip with TWRP and reboot to system

Install Magisk Manager (and enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager settings)

NOTE: The steps below will re-enable Deep Sleep

Install Flashify

Flash stock recovery.img with Flashify

Download from Android File Host | Google Drive.​

Wipe cache (twice for good measure) and reboot

(Optional) Flash TWRP img using Flashify and reboot to system

Enjoy Nougat with root and SafetyNet bypass on your G920T! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
You do know that Google pulled Magisk from the Play Store....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
You do know that was inevitable and that there are other ways to obtain Magisk Manager? :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Of course there are other ways......But your posting a link to Magisk that doesnt exist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
Uh... I linked to the main Magisk thread on XDA, not Google Play.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Uhh.....thats because you just changed it. I'm not gonna waste my time posting about something that is'nt correct.

Gonna give this a shot. Is this an official build or a port? And i wonder if i can use [MENTION=364033]stangdriver44[/MENTION] V4A Aroma installer hmmmmmm. Is the kernel stock or set to permissive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
It's pulled straight from Smart Switch so everything is 100% stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigDaddy38:
Sweet gonna give it a shot, Thankyou!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigDaddy38:
i have no idea where to find magisk manager any help would be appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
There's a Downloads section with a direct link to it in the main Magisk thread which I linked to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigDaddy38:
Your right i found it, the link didnt work earlier when i tried thankyou
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] EncryptedCurse:
Do we not need to flash SuperSU prior to Magisk? I'm not too familiar with the process so I could be mistaken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
You don't have to, no. Magisk uses its own superuser called MagiskSU, which gets installed with the Magisk zip file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] crashff:
It seems kinda... excessive to put TWRP on, then go back to the stock recovery, then back to TWRP again.. Is there a reason for this part?

-> Flash stock recovery.img with Flashify

-> Wipe cache (twice for good measure) and reboot

-> (Optional) Flash TWRP img using Flashify and reboot to system
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KaneHusky:
Yeah, to fix deep sleep not working after the first TWRP flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigDaddy38:
Heres what I did lastnight.................I followed your setup. And then installed Noble Kernel set to permissive so i can run V4A. Well the kernel trips Safety Net and you get a continuous notification because of the permissive kernel. So I uninstalled magisk(I dont care for it till the dev keeps it updated for us). I then flashed Super SU 2.8+ through TWRP. Used [MENTION=364033]stangdriver44[/MENTION] V4A Aroma Installer. So you still get the security notification, I found that system app and froze it. No more annoying notification. This is where im at now. Stock Nougat Rooted w-SuperSU/Noble Kernel for Tmobile/Viper 4 Android. All working flawlessly. [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION] Are you gonna maybe try and get something going on nougat with that sickness. Maybe an S8 themed option. I bet between you and stangdriver44 it could be awesome. Because you know we probably wont get another Rom upgrade for the S6 after Nougat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Read my rom thread and kernel thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] EncryptedCurse:
Everything was working fine last night, but I seem to have lost root during some point today. Magisk Manager still says that Magisk is installed, but that I am "not rooted." Any ideas? Should I try to reflash Magisk or will that trip SafetyNet?

Is there any way to tell for absolute certain that a phone is new?

I know it's easy these days to reset counters and such, so I was just wondering if there was any way to tell for sure if a phone someone sold on ebay is indeed new and not just a clean used or refurbished phone.

Thanks for the info!
[HTC Excalibur] oumarous:
impossible !!!

u can't verify if it's new, cause you only need to hard reset the phone to get a brand new phone (OS is as new) !!!!

anyway just look at it,if it looks new, it's new, otherway, it's an old phone !

salut !
[HTC Excalibur] angelgolp:
Look around it and specifically at the silver line around it.

If the phone is old, the silver line always goes off.
