[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosbet:
hi guys, i have been trying to flash stock rom (Marshmallow 6.0.1 23.1.A.5.291 / R2D) but every time i try flashing it says:

ERROR: null

ERROR: flashing aborted

it is not drivers i installed every one of the drivers

i have an updated version of flash tool

Downloaded the firmware trhough xperifirm

Also should i try to flash the .ta files (with an exception on SIMLOCK) or should i try to making the ftf file another way?

to this moment i have been excluding all of the .ta files, i saw a guide that only excluded SIMLOCK.ta should i do the same?:confused::confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beejkitsune:
Hi anyone-who-can-possibly-help,

I have been wondering if it would be possible to make the background panel of notifications on the lock screen transparent/invisible.

I am using Lock Clean for Substratum and have tried Transparent Theme but this applies globally and I don't the theme applied to the notification panel or heads up notifications.

I understand there is probably going to be a limitation of Substratum but if anyone can think of any other way of implementing this I would be ever grateful however I have a feeling this is going to be something that was only going to be possible with something akin to Xposed to which there is no alternative to (with the exception of maybe Magisk) on 7.x.x+ at this time.

Thank you in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try the good old fashion way and modify your own xmls instead of using things like Substratum, Xposed etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beejkitsune:
So I'm presuming from that that what I'm trying to achieve is possible? Is there anywhere you can point me in the direction of to start my research?

I'm more than happy to figure it out myself and I'm not asking for a handout. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated however.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I'd start by looking at your SystemUI colors.xml first and/or googling guides for your phone to see if it's been done before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nova_vo1:
Hm... I am also interested in this, let me know if find anything. I also looked into possibly creating my own substratum theme to make this happen as well (the basics as to how to get it done)
[Samsung Gear S3] sid8840:
History:

I have been using my S3 with my Oneplus3 with stock rom..Open beta 18. for some reason i have to format my phone and switch to custom rom. but then the problem with Gear S3 thinks that i have been using new phone and resets my S3 with whole new procedure. This was tiresome even if i backed up with gear app.

Requirement:

Build prop editor

Procedure:

1) install Build prop editor and back up current config to the sdcard.

2) format your phone and install your custom rom.

3) install build prop editor and restore your backed up config.

4) once done restart phone and then connect to S3.

Note:

because every rom Build prop has imp configs...restoring same on different rom will break some usability..

P.S:

Install build prop editor on second phone and restore same config of first phone..connect S3 on second phone..see what happens??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MiSSigNNo:
I had updated to WM6 recently and tryed with several VOIP SIPs.

Someone told me that there is a VOIP service in WM6 but don't know how to config it. Tryed Schaps VOIP Setup with no success.

And also tried SJPhone but I don't like it because you can't use the internal speaker (the same as for calls) to hear, only the external speaker as If I were using the music via windows media.

My intention is to make voip calls as if they were calls from the mobile normally.

Hi, i bought power 2, phone not open and noting happen when press power or vol+ - together + power, or ....try everything

Bricked when try flash twrp recovery. later i try flash rom again, my computer see phone when phone is closed. can not open already. But now my computer not see the phone:A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

What can i do, and sorry for my english
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rebel_X:
This phone can't be bricked (mostly). You can easily restore the stock firmware, just download stock rom from official site, extract it. And use sp flash tool not the one that comes with the official rom. Open sp flash tool.

Load scatter file from official rom, you can leave the DA file for all mtk phones that comes with stock rom or use the one in sp flash tool (just leave it as it is) in the user interface of sp flash tool.

Make sure it says "download only" from the drop box. Click download then connect the phone to your computer. Flashing will start and should take about 1 minute and 30 seconds to finish.

If flashing doesn't start. Make sure you have vcom drivers installed. (Also for flashing to start, phone must be turned off obviously, but since you have semi brick, you don't have to worry about that).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faysoft:
Vdcom drivers already installed but not using. becouse computer does not see phone.

Unknown usb device . A request for the USB device descriptor failed. (code 43)

if i solve this, maybe i can flash rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faysoft:
My phone opened, but computer cannot see storage.i think phone's usb ports damaged. i can flash rom with sp flash tool only.

fastboot and recovery not working. i cant make root too. what can i do i dont know. recovery cant open, writing "no command".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rebel_X:
Go to developer mode menu (if you don't have it, tap on "build number" in "about phone" from settings, seven times and it will be activated). Then change how your USB acts when connected with computer.

If you can't, just use ES File explorer to send files between your computer and phone in FTP or SMB mode over WiFi.

Is anyone has success with unbricking Power II in such case?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuisLlana:
I do not know if it is late. I had the same problem with another phone. I was solved as follows:

1. Unplug the usb cable from the computer

2. Power off the phone

3. Press download on sp flash tool

4. Holding vol+ and power, plug the usb cable on the computer.

Hi,

can anyone provide me with nvram /nvdata backup please of Ulephone power 2?

I have probably correct IMEI, valid MAC fo Wifi/BT ...

It looks like my serial number changed to 123456789ABCDEF and I have no idea how to change it to original because MAUI (?) stucked on get kernel

I can find original box with correct serial and IMEis on stick

The only one problem with mobile is I am not able connect to mobile network - registration SIM to mobile network always fail.

and at MTK engineer I have only Bluetooth, FM Receiver, Wifi, Wifi CTIA, Wifi Display

I have nothing like Radio, CDS etc ...

OEM unlocked, TWRP, rooted

Some information probably lost when flashing

And of course another problem :

except GPS and proximity, all sensors does not work - G sensor, acceleration, magnetic sensor, compass . Probably configuration data is located at nvdata

i tried flash 5MB file nvdata.bin from different MTK 675x device, but nothings change

I tried flash 33 MB nvdata.img from same MTK 675x device, but I lost IMEI and nothing solved

This is why I need 33 MB NVDATA.IMG from another functional Ulephone power 2

I can change IMEI at MTK then ...

I had to flash , because phone was unusable - it stucked mostly on obtaining IP address wifi

after a while, phone disconnected from wifi and cant find any wifi or if find, then cant connect because of some security issue , after restart all was OK ...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
Hello,

So my S7 edge got a replacement display due to being broken like 2 months ago. Today purple smudges started to appear, when I used the device for quite some time heavily and it got quite hot. They disappear when I change display mode or when brightness changes. But sometimes reappear. Is this a defective Display, should I get it replaced via warranty again?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrFaco:
Mine does the same thing, but it has never been repaired or suffered any kind of serious damage. It's not that annoying either.

Could it be some kind of factory defect?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
When googling I found it clearly is a hardware display fault. As I had my display swapped by a third party mobile repair shop, they would be the ones to make accountable.

It only occurs at certain brightness settings, and not in all apps/states of display - mostly in those which are really bright like chrome browser without tab open, or dict.cc dictionary app.

I'll keep an eye on the issue and just demand warranty, as this display isn't even 2 months old now. They give 6 months of warranty on exchanged parts. So if it does not go away, I'll just get it replaced again.

It just occured today out of the blue, after flashing custom rom / flashing some stuff and constantly playing on the phone, and it became a bit hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrFaco:
It occurred exactly the same to me, after flashing a custom Rom. Now I can't remember which one, but it changed the screen's aspect ratio to simulate the S8's.

After that I flashed stock and the problem kept happening
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
But I don't think this can be caused by a custom rom... it's a hardware fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] supertiger1234:
I hope so because I really wanna install a custom rom ;(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
Google the issue - it happened a lot apparently and there is literally no connection to custom Roms - it's a defective Display. I did not have the issue anymore BTW.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
I have to get back at this again. I recognized that I can Only see these smudges under certain conditions. I can not see them when I am inside. Only outside, and Only from specific angles - also dependant on screen brightness. When I cover the screen with my hand they disappear.

At first I thought it could also be some fault with the transparent protection skin I also applied one day before first noticing this purple screen problems. But the thing is - they move when scrolling, Only in a small portion of the screen but they go up and down.

The fact I can Only see them in daylight makes me wonder if it's got anything to do with the surrounding brightness sensor that does the automatic brightness and display mode for you.

I find it very strange that I can not provoke the issue indoors, also not if I set up brightness to max.

I've installed the latest stable firmware by SP Flash (K50-T5_USR_ST1614_5.294.1_1604011150_mp1V2.39_CN) but now I was reading about that the Marshmallow roms need to be flashed with patched boot image for custom recoveries. I've just found S422_Patched_boot.img (I hope that file is all what I need). Could sb explain me how to do this?? The next move will be gapps/root and finally try to fix IMEI on my yellow but I am stuck...
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwinrg:
I don't know flashing patched boot.img is required to flash custom recovery. I flashed custom recovery directly without flashing patched boot image and it working well.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandolkandol:
OK I did it. If u have K30-T5 (MarshalRom 6.0) it will works. Instruction below.

1. Copie K50-T5_PATCHED_BOOT_1621_DEV.RAR file to your device

2 Flash TWRP 3.x via SP Flash

3. Enter to the installed Recovery Mode

4. Choose instal that file what I've wrote above

5. Swipe to confirm Flash

6. Reboot system

I want to fix my IMEI now. I'd like to use SN Writer but I don't know which file MD1DB, and APDB should I select on Marshmallow.

[TouchPad General] George Mari:
Off and on for the past year or so, I've been working on upgrading a TouchPad to 2GB RAM by replacing the stock RAM chip.

I've gotten to the point where the webOS kernel sees around half of the extra RAM, and reports that it is there, but crashes when it tries to actually use that extra RAM.

I've documented the process over at the webosnation forums. You can search on 2GB RAM upgrade if you're interested in the details. (I don't think I can post a link to that thread, as this is my first post here. )

I wanted to post here because even though I'm not really an Android user, I realize there are folks in the TouchPad Android community that might be interested in this sort of thing.

I'll try to check in on this thread and answer any questions anyone may have here, or at the webosnation forum.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7mada:
Hello Edgers

As it says in the title, my GS6 edge is charging slowly after the last update.

It says fast charging, but it takes almost 3 hours to full.

Although it used to take 1 - 2 hours maximum to full.

-it's charging now - > reached 80% and it says 35m untill full -

35 minute at 80%!!! :crying::crying:

I tried another charger and it has the same problem. so either I have 2 broken chargers or the problem is in the phone.

Any ideas? or is it a common problem in charging after the update?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_es:
I have the same issue, also not allways is detecting the Fast Charger.

As a workaround I let it charging slow for some seconds replug the cable and voila! Fast charging in the correct time...

It seems that is a common issue after Nougat update in a large number of devices prior to S8... (If you search in google you could see it)

The kernel is the culprit to choose the method of charge, and for whatever reason is not choosing/doing correctly...

Some people say that wiping the system cache from recovery helps (not my case)
