[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edilebe:
I own a Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 [SM-J210F], Rooted with SuperSU, Runs Stock Marshmallow ROM, Runs Xposed perfectly.

I have been using Link2SD.

For reinstalling Link2SD for better performance, I unlinked all the apps, and then, uninstalled Link2SD and Apps2SD, WITHOUT DELETING THE MOUNT SCRIPT.

Now my phone does not recognise my SD card and INTERNAL STORAGE.

I also use Xinternal SD :

- When it is Enabled, ES File Explorer prompts "265A-2A17"(My SD card) is not found

- When it is Disabled, it prompts "storage/emulated/0" is not found

. . .Therefore ultimately proving that the Internal Storage is not recognised...

I cannot access my Media files in the SD card.

I cannot download anything.

I even tried the "Factory Reset" option in the Settings menu... Problem remains the same.

Still didn't try flashing stock ROM via Odin3...

Explanation and Help in this issue are needed...

U P D A T E ----------------------

While wiping the device using TWRP, it ended up with the message:

or something similar.

Anyways after flashing Stock ROM with Odin3, the device is fine . . . : )

Developers, kindly look after this issue . . .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diracdeltafunct:
As the title asks, where can I find the stock ROM for the N7100XXUFND3?

I've tried various sites, but it is hard to find anything that can actually be downloaded. I did find this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-/GT-N7100/XEF/download/N7100XXUFND3/28780/ but it cannot be installed, with the error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.".
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBkKx:
Did you follow the instructions on the site how to install the firmware? You have to flash it through Odin (which will wipe your device) not a custom recovery like TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diracdeltafunct:
Thanks for that, don't know how I missed it.

However, when I try to use Heimdall I get: "heimdall packages shouldn't contain links or directories".

However, there are no "links or directories" in the archive.

I extracted the archive manually and attempted to create one which only contains the .img files, tar -cvzf stock_rom.tar.gz *.img.

This gives me that "firmware.xml is missing from the package".
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Why so much effort?

use Odin to flash it directly...

In my case, i upgraded to N through Firmware Finder with proxy... And now its working without any error... My phone isn't rooted... Model is BLN-L22.. is there a way to root in Nougat!!?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Of course. Just flash the TWRP from HERE, then flash SuperSU.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Geo Geo:
I have a doubt, if i root it can i do new firmware updates through firmware finder/ota or not ??
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You can. Just backup your stock recovery and stock boot image before your root. If you want to receive OTAs again, just restore those two then uninstall your root app.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Geo Geo:
Really...???? 1: And no need to flash entire firmware for new ota Updates??

2: Is it really important to unlock bootloader in nugat???

(Im asking this bcz i use one lenovo mobile and that only allowed me any updates after flashing the entire firmware.... )
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
1. Yes of course

2. You only need to unlock bootloader if you want to root.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Geo Geo:
Grt... I ll try soon..

Goodluck with that. :)

[Nextbit Robin] AlternaGirl:
This phone is on sale today for $120 at Amazon. At that price and the specs it seems like a really great deal until I find out the cloud support will only be around for 6 months or so. If it had microSD it would still be a no-brainer but I'm concerned what will happen when they stop supporting the phone. Will we be able to use the cloud backup function if we use our own storage such as Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.? If this is not currently a possibility is it something that is even feasible in a custom ROM?

I don't need a ton of storage for anything but apps. I'm not a big gamer, I just have many apps that I use rarely but when I do need them, it would be very inconvenient to reinstall and sign in and change settings, etc. One of the most annoying things about Android is even the apps that are movable still remain partially on my internal storage. I also have a Huawei Watch and the apps for those alone that must remain on the phone memory hog a ton. I'm currently using an Honor 5x with only 16gb onboard so this phone would still be an upgrade for that... I just wish they could have splurged on an SDcard slot and it would be on the way to my house already. I know, I know, everyone wants their crap in a "cloud" now. I actually prefer local storage, I hate to be reliant on a data connection or someone else's servers but I still like the idea of this phone. Too bad not enough other people did to keep it from flopping. I feel really bad for the Kickstarter backers that paid $300-400.

Alternatively, does anyone know of any Android apps or custom ROMs even that perform a similar function where I can backup and restore apps from either a server, or even better my own SD card, without losing settings? I know there are a lot of apps that do this with the apks, but I want one that functions more like this phone does it. I don't care if I have to do it manually instead of it being automated in the background, as long as they are restored with settings intact. It seems like something that could be done but I have zero experience in Android Development. I'm guessing they locked out the ability to do this somehow or it would be done already. I'm not a huge fan of Android but even less of iOS or anything Apple which leaves little other choices these days. For the record, I still think old school Windows Mobile was the best phone OS ever until they bastardized it into Windows Phone.
[Nextbit Robin] cjpicci:
If you're willing to root the phone, there are some options for using an app like Titanium Backup to save and restore your app data in conjunction with a separate cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox for storing your backups. Titanium Backup even has some options for integrating your cloud service of choice and uploading automatically, but again this does require rooting.

Also, keep in mind that hardware limitations of the Robin prevent it from using USB host or USB On-The-Go adapters, which is one of the first things people wonder about when there's no SD card :(

However, it's still a good phone for such a low price.
[Nextbit Robin] AlternaGirl:
It was actually $118 plus I get 5% back with the Amazon card so I bought one each in Mint and Midnight. Whichever one I don't keep, I'll give to my Mom. She's on a crap Windows Phone that is starting to have hardware issues. I think it will be perfect for her, if not way more than she needs. I have 30 days to decide since Amazon is great with returns. I shop with them so much I could probably buy a new phone and return it every month but I wouldn't do that. I did the slow shipping so hopefully Prime Day will come before my 30 days are up in case there's a better deal. I got my Honor 5x for $120 last Prime Day and I think I could probably sell it used a year later for $100 after keeping it in perfect condition. I do worry about the Robin holding any value but I never actually end up selling my old phones anyway, I have quite the historical collection. The lack of warranty concerns me but I think if I have any real issues I can get my money back from Amazon since I spend most of my money there. I think they sold a lot of Robins with that deal, most of the cases sold out by the end of the day. It's still only $130 so they must have quite a large supply of them. I'd be curious to know how many phones were manufactured and how many have sold but I doubt they make that public information.

Anyway thanks for all the info. I'll be back next week when I get it to get all the rooting info. I have to roll back my Huawei watch too, it didn't look like a quick process so I've been avoiding it but I hate 2.0... so I'll just have to devote one night to nerding out on XDA. It's been awhile.
[Nextbit Robin] soulife:
Damn it, ****, f*ck donkey punch.. I refused REFUSED to buy a phone without an SD card, but just bought the robin on sale because I figured I could just use the cloud and keep my backup images on my USB otg drive. It didn't even occur to me that it doesn't support otg.. Wtf. I haven't even opened the box yet..

No wonder this phone flopped. No SD card, so no apps to SD, or an option to switch between cloud and SD card backup. Crappy battery. No host mode.. And for (what was) $400? Damn it maaan! I've never done any development on a phone without a card. Do you just push and pull your backups between a pc? What if you, ugh, nvm.. I'm about to find out I guess..

I'm gonna be PISSED if I see one of the phones I was gonna buy but didn't because I saw this with decent specs for $118

Is my phone already dead? Please help me!

Hi, I have a similar may be the same problem!

My phone is a German t-mobile mda compact 2

First I work with “lokiwiz v.02” to unlock the SIM, and it works really well.

Then I installed “Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1” and I could calibrate the screen, and after that Win Mobile 6 installed all the extra stuff automatically. After that the device made a reboot, but it stop at the t-mobile boot screen.

Because the bootload modus is still running, I installed the newest original t-mobile software “RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_GER_Ship” but this also didn’t solve the problem.

Hard reset didn't work and always says "Format is

The Start screen shows me this information:

IPL 3.08

SPL 3.08.0000

GSM 02.69.21

OS 3.8.2.22

Is my phone really dead or could someone tell me a trick to reactivate it?
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] _mestre_:
I think noone have a solution for us. I tried to send commands to phone whith mtty. and I can´t send. I don´t know why. so f we cannot send commands the sd card method will not work too. the only olution is to jtag the charmer. but can´t find any pinout information. if anyone knows this informtion, please help.

I've spent the last hour scouring the forums, but I can't find any working links for updated firmware for this particular tablet. Does anyone have the files / Rom needed to update the Xoom 2 (13.5.3.MZ615.Retail.en.US) to above 3.2.2 Honeycomb? Thanks in advance!

Basically I'd just like to update above the currently installed Android Honeycomb version (3.2.2) if possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibson99:
Just picked up an N900V (currently on OB6, with an update waiting to be installed OTA) and want to get it ready to use before i install all my apps, particularly the stuff from work that lets me connect to the intranet and get company email (blackberry work - bleah)

company policy says devices can't be rooted, which sucks. i don't want to install a new rom or anything since that would trip knox. i just want 3 things that normally require root:

- copy in a custom HOSTS file to act as an ad-blocker (a'la AdAway, but just once since that requires root to update daily)

- change the DPI so it acts like a tablet and doesn't waste so much screen space

- modify build.prop to disable home button wake

is that possible to do without tripping knox? if so, what's the trick? i don't mind resetting the phone since i haven't put anything on it yet, and i'm still using an old S4 as my daily driver.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
No for sure on build.prop and the hosts file, no idea on dpi
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibson99:
I think dpi gets changed via build.prop but not certain. Darn, was hoping there was a simple temp root solution here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibson99:
Found an article that said some note 3s don't have Knox. Booted to Odin mode (vol-, home, power) and saw this. Guess that means I don't need to worry about Knox, right?

I guess I just have to try it, then unroot when I'm done so the work apps don't scream bloody murder. Pretty sad that the company can't trust one of its systems admins (me) with root access on his own PERSONAL device. I obviously have root on my home PC yet I can get to even more work resources there than I ever could on my damn phone...

What is XOSP?

XOSP is an after-market firmware based on CodeAuroraSources (CAF) destinated for a wide range of Android phones. The name stands for the Xperia Open Source Project and the project was initially created by [MENTION=4968383]nilac[/MENTION] for the Galaxy S+ (his old device) years ago when back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.

S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there it was rebranded to XOSP. Calin worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on his Galaxy S+, he decided to take a break from development until he got his hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then he started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

How do we release updates?

We release new updates for our Official devices each week by providing Delta updates to the users,so maintainers of the other devices can do the same as well if they want to keep up with the changes. We will make full zip releases only once a month except special cases like for example XOSPDelta is not working or something like it.

You can find all the included features right:

You can find the list of current issues in the ROM right:
