[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lovetv:
Had been rooted my phone before, didn't like it because I couldn't use my banking apps. Back to official firmware via Kies, been using for few months... no problem until yesterday. I charged my phone up to 92%, I unplugged and unlocked my phone, it restarted itself then never come back live again.

I used Smart Switch for another stock firmware flashing with no luck. The software skipped downloading from 85% to 100% immediately, it was ok installing system update on Smart Switch but when the phone completed and restarted, on the screen it shown "erasing" and "installing system up to 32%", it won't get pass above 32% except a blue dead android with loading icon, it freezes every time.

Full Album here, so you might get some ideas of what's going on...

I went to Samsung store yesterday, however once they see knox has been tripped, they refused to fix my phone unless I pay for a new motherboard which will cost me £220. :crying:

I have been trying to flash any official firmware using both Smart Switch, Samsung Kies and Odin, Android 6.0 or 7.0 and every tools lead to blue led black screen or boot looping. I have tried at least 10 times of each methods, even ADB mode, but ADB won't offer much choices except 'adb sideload' commands but it verify each package. So I cannot install TWRP recovery and so on... Odin won't install TWRP recovery as well, it failed every time.

It is sad to see this phone die on me. I have never dropped this phone and it has 0 scratch on it... still looks brand new! If anyone of you could help me out getting this baby alive, I could pay you little money. :p

Thanks for your time!

I've tried this solution more than 10 times with no luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Clarkiieh:
Have you tried flashing the boot.img recovery.img ect separately? I had this kind of thing on a different Samsung and i fixed it by flashing each one separate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lovetv:
That's good idea, which option should I use in Odin? Should be AP option right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Clarkiieh:
The files should work with their own options I'm not too sure which ones work with which, and there is a set order to flash in as well which I'm not sure about either.

What about fastboot flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lovetv:
I finally revived my phone!!! I'm so happy right now

I'll provide these solutions if anyone has the same issue like me. What I did altogether was:

1.0) Remove devices from your Google accounts (I had 2), wait for 48 hours to cool down? Although not sure if this option caused the bootloop, might be useful for someone...

1.1) Downloading the oldest firmware from https://www.sammobile.com flash it using Odin 3.11.1

1.2) Upload BL, AP, CP and CSC files, but I uploaded the correct Pit file too! WARNING: Be sure you know what you doing before trying to mess with this! Otherwise don't try pit file! Leave the options by default! Unless you ran out of choices!!! but I've ticked auto reboot, re-partition, f.reset time, nano erase all and bootloader update for my case. Then start to flash of course.

2.0) Phone were still crashing upon system update... I waited out the battery to drain up. Until next day... Tips: If there's no led light, try to sense it with your face if there's any temperature

2.1) Plugged in ur phone and see if there's the battery charging icon. If there is, you're in luck.

2.2) Charge until 100%, turn it on. Hopefully you can boot up now but I couldn't...

3.0) My phone was still in boot looping (Samsung Logo), I had to turn on recovery mode and wipe + format system then mount /system for whatever reason... then restart using the recovery mode...

3.1) At this time, I finally past through the boot loop which I'll be in the Google sign in screen!

4.0) Phone was in the oldest firmware, of course I will update the official firmware automatically, however the first update didn't make it, and stucked on Samsung logo again!

4.1) All I did was wait a little bit about (25mins) and reset again... somehow it fixed the issue and boot back in.

4.2) Then system update every single firmware up to the latest, boom! I'm on the latest firmware again and everything is up and running!

5.0) Extra tips: Make sure you have up to 60% battery life before turning on recovery mode, but I had to charge up to 100% for my case.

5.1) Remove FRP lock (google accounts, remove devices) might help?

5.2) On recovery mode, wipe cache and format system again might help too!

Good luck guys, I was about to give up trying after 20 flashes (Smart Switch, Kies, and Odin with different pc too!) and had to wait for battery to drain everytime if it stucks! Which annoys me but I made it!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Clarkiieh:
Glad you got it sorted ?

I would recommend Batman ROM if your willing to flash again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Vollidiot:
Same happen to my Phone many times!

Solution!

After a few Reboots your Phone will stuck with screen of or may a blue led on (pulsing) or without any reaction (black screen, all led off) !

Now you have to wait until your battery will be empty compl. Can be up to 18 hours and more! depend how much your Mobile was loaded! or until Led light is off! is your phone still warm? Than it is still draining!You have to wait untill it is complet off and getting cool. Or, if u can, get it in the download mode, with sreen on it will be decharged faster! but mostly your phone will stay death.

After all that, Phone is cold and no Led is illuminated, plug your Phone to usb charging! Wait a little time until you can see the normal charging screen and orange Led is illuminated! (if charging screen will not upper, you have to wait longer!for decharging battery)

let it charge untill it is complet full! Dont touch! Wait at leasst 8 hours and more with charger still connected ! Best is overnight.

after this usely your phone will start normaly , without loosing any data!

Thats what helped me many times!

All my tries with bootloader, software brought nothing, just lots of waisted time and lost Data! you not need to del your phone at google!

Try this, it will work

My phone turned out to be a faulty motherboard, went to Samsung support centre and they repaired for me within 3 working days. Now I got a sort of a new phone, it has 0 scratch since I bought it last year Feb, so it's like a new phone to me :laugh::good:

But yeah, motherboard was acting weird, was lasting a week then breaks again... finally motherboard was dead, so I could repair it without seeing the knox being triggered. Phew

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hetex:
Hello, just received my Fire HD 8 (2017), with Fire OS 5.3.3.0.

I am aware no root exists for that firmware at the minute. I was wondering if there was a way to stop OTA updates, so that if root comes out for that version I'm not stuck on the latest. Thanks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmdStar:
I just received one as well and came here looking for similar info. Short of keeping the device turned off, I don't think there is a way to stop it from trying to update without root. However, you should be able to block the requests by using a no-root firewall app like NetGuard or NoRoot Data Firewall. See the following for some info:

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/help/block-ota-updates-root-t3496861

(Note: one user there mentions the OP method no longer works on 5.3.3)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrick:
I received mine today as well, but unwittingly entered wifi details during the setup and, of course, the bloody thing updated straightaway. So now its on 5.4.

Just one thing. I have developer options and install from unknown sources enabled, but when I try to install any apk's copied from my phone using myappshare, the install button doesn't work. Is this because they were downloaded from the Google app store originally? None of the copied apps are available on the Amazon app store.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravipkumar:
someone on a different thread mentioned that a reboot is needed after enabling the "install from unknown sources" for the install button to work.

[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] sayyro:
Why is it so impossible to root the vs987 ?? Where are those Android experts ???it's been one year and me and many people stuck on the marshmallow + locked WiFi hotspot with the unlocked Verizon G5s !! Is there a hope ?
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] donjo19:
This platform was dead before it started. Sorry to say. They can't get root with a locked bootloader. Verizon won't do it.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] sayyro:
There are many Android experts that could unlock the bootloader Right ? Is it how it works ??? If yes that means they could unlock it ..
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] donjo19:
My understanding, not as a programmer by any means...is that the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader prior to even having the ability to gain root. If the service provider (Verizon) doesn't unlock this, root cannot happen in a traditional sense. Carriers such as T-Mobile have a root for this phone as they come with unlocked bootloaders. You wont see root on the Verizon variant.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
no there isnt hope unless u figure it out the "experts" have tried time and time again

the bootloaders arent locked they are signed with a very special key that would take ever computer together in the worl roughly 200000 years plus to brute force into. verizon and att are the worst

now you all know. as said before if u wanted to root you should have studied before buying a "locked" device

if u want root either get a rootable device or figure it out on your own

as with the g4 there will more than likely never be root for these "locked" devices

not being an ass just the cold hard truth

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

they cant unlock the bootloader or it would have been done

lgs verity key prevents this through qfused motherboards highly encrypted partitions that the bootloader verifys and if one thing is off bam lg secure boot error.

which again is basicly hardcoded into the device.

no one is going to waste their time trying a 99.9% impossible feat
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] davidstjohn1:
The phone is just not popular enough the Verizon Galaxy S7 I believe is unlocked for the bootloader. If the phone is popular enough a developer will work on it.

You need to be on marshmallow or have anti-rollback to be 0 which <1% of ppl have. Also, it's not a complete root, so although you have root permissions, it's unstable and you have no root manager (SuperSU/Magisk/etc.)

Hi there

I had 2,17 and upgraded to the leak rom 3.16. I did not use any locker or unlocker when upgrading. I am having issues with mail2web that it sends the same sent email several times. I think there is an active sync bug with the leaked rom. Anyways, I am trying to downgrade back to the official 2.17 and I when try to flash after the intial reboot it tell me error 328 invaild command

can anyone please help??

Run the unlocker posted above, after it's all said and done, you should be at the bootloader screen, just run the update for the 2.17 ROM and it should put it back on. I was having the same problem (328 error) and this fixed it for me.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] rm501:
Hi

I've owned several Samsung phones previously and they were bundled with a basic voice recorder. However it supported using both microphones (camera and voice (top and bottom)) for recording interview conversations.

Is there any app for pixel that can do the same?

I have tried a few from the play store but they only seem to offer selecting a single microphone at a time.

Thank you
[Chromebooks] ISDev:
I would like to switch to Chrome OS for "industrial" use by installing android apks on Chrome instead of Android and benefiting from a better remote management and OS version control/updates.

However one apk to be installed requires, for licensing, that a specific account be registered on the system.

On Android, you go to "accounts" and then add it - it is a simple mail account, though that could be a Gmail/Google account - but the same account will have to be deployed on the fleet of devices, so many devices on one account.

Do we have the same possibility on Chrome OS?

Thanks,

Nicolas
[Chromebooks] rbeavers:
Ask Dev. For volume licensing?
[Chromebooks] fattire:
Are you asking if you can set up accounts on ChromeOS' Android subsystem? If so, the answer is yes- via the Android Settings. Works exactly the same as within Android itself.

If you're trying to set up an email account specifically-- you can use Gmail accounts with the Gmail Android app (which would use Account Settings as described above). You can use the web app via mail.google.com. Or if you want to go outside google, you can use something like K-9 mail (which you can get via the Play Store or via F-Droid or even build and deply yourself) and set that up just like any other Android app.

Hope this answers the question.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Baldesarra:
Hey guys,

I know there are three OOS Roms out there.

FreedomOS

xXx no limits

ExperienceOS.

What are the differences?

And is there any OOS rom out there with customizations?

E.g. Center clock...

I know there's a Substratum module for that but i prefer inbuilt customization. Don't ask me why..
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] biglo:
I understand where you coming from, OOS is pretty ok but sometimes you just want to have those extra customizations built into the ROM it self instead of having to sideload it with some side effect. For me the thing I miss the most in the use my substratum themes. I like having my system show one color for everything themed out nicely, OOS theme is half way done and limited as it still leaves a portion of other things un-themed. IE keyboard, dialer.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I haven't tried any ROMs yet since my device arrived just today, but so far I'm thinking of giving Freedom OS a shot.

As soon as a LOS based ROM like RR becomes stable, I will be switching to that.

And as soon as an AOSP based ROM releases, I'll be switching to that lol
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Baldesarra:
Agree with you guys.

So anyone knows the difference between those three roms?
