[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eightan:
1. get your phone into download mode. (hold power+home+v.down)

2.once in download mode connect it to your pc

3. go to sammobile.com and find the right firmware for you. (according to phone model)

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/galaxy s7/

4. once odin shows that your phone is connected with something like : <ID:0/003> Added!! in the log tab and 0:[COM3] above it you're ready to flash.

*I hope that by now your download is ready, and you have a zip file. click to open the zip and extract ONLY the ap file from there.

for me (SM-G935F) the file name is : AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5. (notice the AP before the file name).

5. now press the AP button and choose the AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5 or whatever you extracted and press start. after that your phone should boot and you'll be good to go.

Thank you very much for the detailed step by step instruction. I followed your instruction and managed to restore the stock rom, and the phone now works normally again. What a relief. You are a life saver!

The hardest thing was to get the phone to boot into download mode, because it just refuses to do so. It just stayed on, stuck at the samsung logo. Pressing down, home and power only make the screen flash briefly, then stuck at the logo again. The phone wont turn off. I had to leave the phone as it is to drain its battery. Once the battery is out of juice, the phone is finally off, then I connect it to PC, and pressed the key combo to enter download mode. After second try I managed to get into download mode. From there I followed the instruction to flash the stock rom again. I wouldnt know to extract and use only the AP file, as the instruction from sam mobile didnt say anything about it. But your detailed instruction did. The phone now works as normal. Thank you again! :):good::good:

And thanks the rest who also provided advice in this thread as well. Much appreciated. :)

If it won't boot up to Download mode.. in the future. just leave the combination pressed like for 30sec

Hi. Something just occurred to me. In sam mobile site, there are like 5 versions of 6.0.1 stock roms. I wasnt sure which ones were mine, so i just chose one. And I only installed the AP file, as per your instruction. Is it okay not to install the rest of the files like the BL, CP etc?

Then later, i decided to try out nougat, and flashed the stock nougat rom from sam mobile, again i only flashed the AP file. I didnt flashes the rest of the files like BL, CP, CSC etc. Is this okay? Or should i flashed all those files too?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sjs87:
I noticed something slightly annoying earlier and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or noticed. I snapped a picture of a document to send to someone via text message. The picture looks great in the gallery, but when sent through text, it's pretty much impossible to read. Both by the receiving party and myself when I try to open it up through the text string. It's not a big deal as I can send it via email, whatsapp or any other means and it looks just fine that way. I know when images get sent via text, they are usually compressed and I'm assuming this is the case. However with every other device I've had, I never had the quality degrade so much that the document is not legible.

Anyone else experience this? And is it normal if so? If not, is there anyway to correct this besides using a different messenger? I would assume no.

HI all

I've been trying to CID unlock my G3 Wizard for hours now and can't seem to make it. I've downgraded to button 1.05, getting:

IPL: 1.05 (G3 device)

SPL: 2.16 (G3 device)

Now when I try to run Lockiwiz (and i've tried all the versions), after pressing c and <enter>, the DOS window just closes and nothing happens.

When I try unlocking CID with WST tool, i get an error:

SPL version is 2.16.0000

DOC chip is write-protected!!

Downgrade SPL to no higher than 1.06 and

repeat procedure.

I've spent about 7 hours trying to get my device CID unlocked and upgrading to WM6 finally, but no luck so far.

Can anybody halp me?? PLEEEAAASE! :(

3. use Huawei firmware extractor to extract recovery file from update.app file

4. go to bootloader mode and flash this original recovery file like you flashed TWRP before
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Hello all,

This has been an issue since my first sony. Gravity Box - an xposed module had a handy option in which at every screen wake, it was checking the proximity sensor to see if there is something near or not - it helped avoiding accidental dials and touches while in pocket.

I tried third party apps but the functionality is problematic. I also tried automations such as MacroDroid which held wakelock on proximity sensor - thus battery drain and cpu usage.

Samsung has an option within settings that does just that.

My question is, is there an adb command or a tasker automation (or even app) that brings this functionality back?

Looking fwd for your input. I am not rooted (for now) so the options are limited. Still I hope you guys have some bright ideas on the matter.

Cheers,
[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmataru:
Hello everyone,

Somehow I ended with a Fake Xiaomi Redmi Note 3G with (obviously) different hardware specifications.

I've extracted the ROM from the fake one to keep it safe.

The only hack I've done till now is modifying the EBR files and the scatter file according with those ones for extending the space available for installing apps.

Is there any way that I can MOD an official/original version of the ROM for my fake version? :confused:

hello all.

long time viewer first time posting..

Ive searched, downloaded, and even called Samsung Tech Support to no avail. After a week now this is my final attempt before the phone goes on Ebay..

I have a Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-GT550T01) through MetroPCS. Acquired last week when I decided to trade a sibling phones. I had actually rooted the phone for them and it was working fine. switched SIM card out etc, theirs works fine mine isn't. Turns out they did a factory reset with root and somehow managed to even wipe the OS leaving me with just Twrp Recovery.. Ive locked up my fair share so first thought was smart switch the SN i found on Twrps terminal was not the original sn anymore? Searched here saw someone post a sn -tried it - it seemed ok until 100% then states an error use code in emergency recovery but does not give me a code.. eventually says cannot recognize anything, Ive tried ODIN, ADB, countless recovery firmware - same result,,,called support was transferred to "the techs" who said they wouldn't be able to force a new OS onto the phone...I find that very hard to believe...sorry for the rant....just wanting to know now if i waste anymore time or buy a new phone....as for knowledge on all this I would say between beginner and intermediate...lots of google/XDA/YouTube and I am usually able to accomplish something..this had me beat as well as awake at 346am...any help appreciated!

What happened with your Samsung oN5 GT5501

Im currently trying to root my samsung GT5501. Now I notice their is a GT550. Different model. I think the GT550 is the ON5 Pro. 16Gb of internal storage, but the one I'm guessing were both inquiring about has an internal storage of 8GB, correct?? Now hopefully were talkg bout the same phone. Now was it the GT5501 the phone u had rooted? If so, did u do it without a PC?? If so can you direct me to instructions or vids. Can't find any specifically for the GT5501.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikey-1973:
Hey guys,

sorry to bother you but i'm sort of stuck in a loop which i'm tryin to get out.

short background story: (end question next paragraph)

i own a xiaomi redmi pro, with a "fake" xiaomi stable global rom on it. fake as xiaomi doesn't support this rom.

I wish for several reasons to flash to either a stable/dev china rom, or the .eu stable eu rom.

for this i read a lot on how to flash those on a winsdows pc. but i run ubuntu.

so no problem... both use sp flash tool. so i downloaded the tool opened perfectly and tried to load scatter file from the rom i downloaded.

rom page link: downloaded both the china stable and china dev rom for the redmi pro

question paragraph:

when loading the scatter file i recieve an error message: Error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file which you load is legal.

i looked up the error and found that this was caused by the use of not the latest sp flash tool.

But i just downloaded it from the sp flash tool site itself (https://spflashtool.com) as being the latest for linux 64 bit. (SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Linux_v5.1520.00.100)

true there are later versions (SP_Flash_Tool_exe_win_v5.1524 or SPFlash Tool 5.1628, but only for windows)

googled a bit further and founs this site from sp flash tools: http://spflashtools.com/linux/sp-flash-tool-v5-1724-linux via https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool

so i downloaded this version, made the flash_tool an executable with: chmod +x flash_tool and tried to run it with ./flash_tool, but now i get an error message:

error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, which i indeed couldn't locate.

maybe it is a 64 bit /'32 bit version error? but in the http://spflashtools.com/linux, site i did not find any specifications to 64 bit vs 32 bit, while it was on the previous mentioned site.

since flashing a phone can be a hazardous thing to do i want to be sure i'm using the correct tools.

I hope someone here is willing to help me with getting the sp flash tools correct version up and running so i can indeed load the scatter file.

Kind regard

Matthieu
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikey-1973:
sorry,

found the error related to the libpng12-0 problem.. added the file to my system, and the latest version run as expected now.

although when i tried to flash i got an error message (and a blue thumb and index pinger because of pressing the two buttons)

ERROR : STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (-1073414139) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00.

but i expect this to be an phone (type) related issue, and i will aim my attention therefor back to the xioami forum.

none the less thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grosseader:
Hello.

I have one old Lenovo with MT6582M , which has 1gb ram and 4rom, which i flashed with stock rom using SP flash tools. After that phone was in bootloop, then tried to reflash but got error with checksum that recovery image isn't same size. And then i realize there is no recovery mode.

Next i format all data, and flash again, all went OK. But phone won't power on anymore, no charging, nothing...

PC recognizes it as 3 different ports, it depends on how i connect it (with ,without battery or vol key pressed) : Mediatek preloader USB VCOM (Android) , ADrom port , and MediaTek USB port

I tried 3 STOCK roms from different sites, flashing process has no issues, but phone still can't turn ON. But if i check DA DL all with chksum, after flash i get this error:

Brom error: chksum_error (1041)

Tried to flash only boot, after that whole rom again, tried to firmware upgrade but got Error: Failed to get PMT info.

I tried many versions of SP flashtool, and the older ones show me this 29Gb+8gb in statusbar, which i can't say how happened, but it seems PMT-partition memory table , has some problems.

[IMG="See the status bar :"]http://media.snimka.bg/s1/5942/038128287.jpg[/IMG]

Hello guys and gals, so i just recieved my LG V10 H901 and tried to follow https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/step-step-guide-rooting-lg-v10-using-t3382631 this guide, but eventually i ended up with a brick after trying to flash the .tot file.

I keep getting

Boot Verification Fail

- cause: MISHMATCH_SIG_LEN

The TWRP recovery i had is now gone, and i can't access Bootloader. I can enter Download though. I read a lot of things around the problem, but i always stuck on various software versions or phone versions i can't really understand. Is there any way to get the phone back working? Before i try any method i just want to be sure i wont mess even worse (if that is even possible).

I tried UnbrickMe thread, but it says only for soft version:h90120j I have soft version H90120c (i haven't performed the update to MM) so i don't wanna try without being sure its going to work.

I m leaving for vacations in couple of days and i don't have a phone :/ please give me your lights.

Also LGUP wont see the phone, the same for ADB.

OK I Fixed it!

I was able to get out of this maelstrom of bootloops and to finaly flash the default ROM (you can find it here https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/stock-h90120j000712-kdz-t3436249 )

So what i did is to remove battery for 10 seconds

Put The battery in

Hold volume up button

Plugin the phone to my PC through USB

Then download mode will start

I opened LGUP and fortunately it was able to see my phone.

Then went to Upgrade and flashed the kdz file.

All went smoothly and the phone is back working.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Byte_76:
This could be a general question for all Android phones.

It seems that Google is making it more difficult to root with every release of Android . If you do manage to root, sometimes you lose functionality unless you manage to find a workaround.

In years gone by, there were good reasons to root because Android was missing a lot of useful features that developers were able to implement on rooted devices but Android has improved a lot and Google has implemented a lot of the functionality that previously required root and customs ROMS.

So my question is what are the real benefits of rooting the Moto Z and rooting in general?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Forti42:
Still mandatory

1) Access to hosts-file for ad-blocking and other security purposes.

2) Ability to remove bloatware installed as system apps by vendor or manufacturer.

3) Use of firewalls, filters and stuff on network level

4) Granulated right management like "deny location", "deny network state" and stuff - per App.

As long as even only one of these access rights is not available on non-rooted Android, rooting is mandatory.

By the way: And at least 1)+4) was MY reason not to buy the Blackberry PRIV, which could have been perfect for me by means of design, look-and-feel, specs... if it was rootable. And that´s contrary to BB´s intentions. Sad, so sad... :>

Now Moto Z: Happy, so happy! :)

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] xamindar:
Those are all great reasons to root. One more reason that I find gives me peace of mind is the ability to do actual backups. Titanium backup and even nandroid backups (which kind of go along with rooting) are great for making sure you don't lose any important information or settings.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTXCI:
I use BlissPop for my GTN8013 and I love it. But, for some reason on high demanding games (like FarmVille), it causes the game to be laggy even when overclocked, when other ROMs don't have this issue. I've considered going back to AndroidRevolution ROM (which is on KitKat), but it requires so many different things to even get it to boot.
