[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DamiDev:
Hi !

yeah ! all brands go for a new design for their phones with no bezels.

but the big problem's those big buttons at the bottom of the phone ( Navigation bar ) that spoils the beauty of this new design.

i don't know why we don't have any option for hide the navigation bar !! we are waiting for a new update frome LG for add this option.

Anyway, We know that LG likes to change the place of buttons like the LG G3 / G4 ... why not change the place of the navigation bar and put physical buttons on the side of the phone !! Or on the back !! Can be a touch buttons on the bottom ( on the border or on place of the speaker ).

and keeping the virtual buttons with an option for hide them for users who love their actual place.

This an idea that can succeed and can fail! If she succeeds we will enjoy with our screens without bezels.

what do you think !!

and sorry for my bad english !
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] GLISIT:
There's plenty of room in the lower front bezel of the LG G6 to have left a dedicated area for either hard or soft buttons but they were going for a clean look, with screen-only soft buttons.

But adding navigation buttons on the edges of the phone are not a good idea because it's more likely they will be pressed accidentally. It was such a relief not to have the power button on the side of the phone as I used to press it accidentally all the time when I had the phone leaning against something to watch a video and I would press the volume button. I can only imagine what would happen with a home button on the side or bottom of the phone :-/
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] milan187:
Yeah on an 18:9 ratio there is more then enough room for the buttons in my opinion. I much prefer them to physical or capacitive ones.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lamplighter13:
I remember the first oneplus phone has the choice of using on screen or off screen buttons, very nice option and wish more phones offered the choice.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi everyone,

I would like to show you my latest app in the Play Store.

Name:

Special Pong

PlayStore:

simply enter "SpecialPong" or "Special Pong" or "com.lajgamecreator.specialpong"

I'm a single developer and I developed this game with lots of code :).

Pls give me a chance. Thank you :).

This game is a special version of PONG!

You can...

* play alone (easy, middle, hard)

* play against another person

But this is not all!

There are also special items.

Special Items can affect the player or the ball.

But if you prefer to play without special items

or e.g. you want to change the spawnrate, you

can do this in the options. There are many

possibilities of adjustment!

Have fun with

#SpecialPong

I hope you enjoy it!

:)
[G3 General] AtaliaKetch:
I have went through many tutorials but none of them were able to help me with flashing custom recovery(TWRP). My LG G3 D855 was rooted with towelroot(I think long time ago). I do not know how can I unlock my bootloader or I don't know if it is already unlocked(Picked it off craiglist long time ago). Phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I have tried to fix but I could not. There is no 'download mode'.

Could you please explain each and every step in detail? I really want to reboot my device with a custom ROM.

Phone is running Androind 4.4.2.
[G3 General] AtaliaKetch:
So guys? Any help? Just tell me how can I remove that fastboot mode that appears when I restart my device for recovery.
[G3 General] andi54:
Have you flashed TWRP already?

I have a an D855, I don't think you have to worry about a locked bootloader Mate,

but it was a long time since I got rid of the LG crap, because it was the first thing I did after buying new!

You're on 4.4.2 with towel root so it should very simple to download and flash TWRP using the official TWRP app in Playstore or using an app like Flashify etc.

I basically lost my S7 Edge a week ago so I'm back using my old LG G3 now running Resurrection Remix 5.8(Nougat 7.1.2. AOSP based)

If you wanna run anything using Aroma installer then don't go later than TWRP 3.0.0. for now, because the newer versions don't work.

Either download the Quickboot app to boot to recovery or search on Youtube on how to boot to recovery from off..
[G3 General] AtaliaKetch:
The problem is, there is no recovery. Even though flashing TWRP via flashify resulted in nothing but an error showing "Fastboot mode started" when I tapped on option named "Reboot to recovery". This is the main problem I am facing. I can flash, upgrade/downgrade and etc but this fastboot mode thing is something beyond what I can fix with my current knowledge.
[G3 General] Sgace:
Maybe first flash back stock, update to the latest firmware and start fresh from there?

There are some good guides in the forums here for that.

Cheers
[G3 General] rp158:
If you've to go back to firmware, don't install the newest. Rooting needs an older version. Also described in root-threads here.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jadel:
Hi all,

I was wondering, from peoples personal experience, what is the best audio, video and codec setting for watching videos and movies on your Himalaya?

I have TCPMP and have been watching videos and movies for several years, but all of them are different quality, some good some bad.

Assuming I had a high quality desktop copy of a movie, what would be the best settings to transfer it down to.

IE what is the maximum quality video our XDA's can run, while still playing smoothly.

Thanks for any advice.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sunny127:
I've tried to play with TCMP's options, but the best solution instead of encoding every movie before putting it on the device, is to overclock it using XCPUScalar or Pocket Hack Master. Now the movies play smooth, without rencoding. I overclocked it to 590mhz. Pure pleasure :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jilebi:
Hi,

I recently got a brand new s6 G920A AT&T version from an authorized reseller. To my surprise the firmware on it is very old - 5.0.2 with sw version G920AUCU1AOCE

I have heard that this firmware was a pre-release or developer version of s6 and has unlocked bootloader. Is that true?

How do I find if the bootloader is locked or unlocked in my samsung s6 or for that matter in *any Samsung* phone? Is it possible to check using Odin or some other tool on whether the bootloader is unlocked?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] jlhopes:
The Wifi stopped working on my Canadian Galaxy S5 Neo (G903W) yesterday. It would turn off, and couldn't turn on or connect, and nothing would bring it back. Finally I did a hard factory reset, but after rebooting the phone said there was an unauthorized factory reset and it needed to connect to wifi to verify my identity. But the wifi still doesn't work, so now I can't get into the phone at all. Ahhh!

Is there a different ROM or something that I can try flashing (through Odin) that might let me back in and perhaps even restore wifi? I'm willing to go with a 3rd party ROM as long as it's stable. But maybe I just need root access, or something else? Please help! Thank you.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadistic_Loser:
Alright Interesting...

Use ADB:

=========================================

1. Make to go to about device and tap build number 7 times.

2. Go to developer options (Above About Device)

3. Check usb debugging and oem (Just in case)

4. Connect your phone to your computer via usb cable (Of Course)

5. Download ADB Fastboot if you haven't already =====> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

6. Install it and after that it should be set-up

6. Type the command fastboot devices

7. Then type fastboot oem device-info (BTW I am sorry for letting you know now but i think you might need to be in downloading mode or something to use the commands)

8. It should tell you if it is unlocked or not

==============================================

Method 2:

1. Boot up the phone normally then open the phone application and go to the dialer

2. *#*#7378423#*#*

3. Then service info --> configuration

4. Then it should say one of the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Bootloader unlock allowed --Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is Locked

2. Bootloader Unlocked - Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is unlocked

I hope i was helpful to you, if not then i'm sorry to have wasted your time.

Thanks [MENTION=6894486]ROOT67[/MENTION]! Let me try both options out and get back on this thread.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
Both the methods did not work! Please see for details below.

I could not put it in fastboot mode. Do we know if the Samsung s6 supports fastboot mode? If so, how to put it in fastboot mode?

Also as a side note, in developer mode under settings, I could find check box for USB debugging but not for OEM. There was another post which said that OEM checkbox was added under developer options only after bootloader lock was introduced in 5.1.1 firmware. Not sure if this is true.

When I dial this number, nothing happened. Is there a different number for Samsung s6?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
It's not a pre-release/developer/engineering firmware. It's just a really old firmware which released for public officially.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadistic_Loser:
No other number is available that i know of, like the person above stated it is a old firmware version and with that said i would highly try to prevent any updates from installing. I would love to help you out, but since i have no idea as to what would be needed to tell if the bootloader is unlocked, but i do know since Samsung is against us rooting and using our devices the way we want,

it is safe to assume the bootloader is locked and because you have at&t variant.

Your best bet to get your device bootloader information is to look around on the XDA forums.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
Do you have any details on whether the bootloader was locked or unlocked for this old version? How can one test or check if bootloader is locked?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
All AT&T branded nearly-new (including S6) Samsung devices has a non-unlockable locked bootloader.

There's no way to test that.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
here are a couple of test scenario that i can think of. let me know your thoughts on them

- if the device is rooted, load a custom recovery like TWRP. next, try to boot into custom recovery. if it boots into custom recovery, bootloader is unlocked. if not, try to restore factory recovery using odin.

- if the device is rooted, load a custom ROM. next, try to boot into custom ROM. if it boots into custom ROM, bootloader is unlocked. if not, try to restore factory ROM using odin.

Will these test scenarios work? If not, what are the potential issues you see?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
- There's no custom recovery or custom kernel for SM-G920A, because of the reason I've wrote above.

- Installing a custom ROM doesn't require an unlocked bootloader unless the ROM doesn't require custom kernel. (Custom ROMs for SM-G920A don't require custom kernel (except leaked engineering/debugging kernel from Samsung for disabling dm-verity))
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
Got it. Thanks. That makes sense.

Here is another option. For making custom recovery, my understanding is that partition info is needed. If the device is rooted e.g. using Pingpong (which works for this Android version), then one can get a partition info and compile TWRP for G920A. If so, can one try to install custom recovery like TWRP and verify if bootloader is locked? It feels to me that this may work. Do you see any flaws?

One possible flaw is that if bootloader is locked, it will prevent recovery from loading. So the phone will be without a working recovery. In that case, can factory recovery be re-installed using Odin?

Also, will any of the above steps trigger the KNOX flag?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
You don't have to get partition info, and compile TWRP. All S6 variants are using same partition name scheme and there are no difference on TWRP builds between S6 variants (except kernel and DTB).

The bootloader won't allow you to flash any custom recovery image (via Odin or in Android OS). If you could flash it, It won't boot it up anyway.

I don't have any idea about the KNOX trigger on AT&T variant devices, but I think it won't increase anyway.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
Sorry, I perhaps misunderstood from your last post that since custom recovery is not available for G920A it implied its partition info was different from other variants. If it is the same partition structure for all variants, then I guess we can use the TWRP for the G920F international version for which bootloader is unlocked.

Now that we agree that TWRP is available for use on G920A, the next question is how to load it. My thought is that if the device is rooted that means one can use dd at root shell prompt to write TWRP to the recovery partition, without using Odin or the current bootloader. Do you agree?

Not sure I understand why you say that if one could flash TWRP it would not boot anyways. If bootloader is unlocked (which is what we are testing here), then it should boot, right?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
A custom recovery is not available for G920A, because no one could try any custom recovery on G920A due to locked bootloader.

Yes you can write the recovery image via dd at root shell prompt.

And yes, If bootloader is unlocked, it will boot it up.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilebi:
Sorry to ressurect this old thread, but can you (or anybody else who is knowledgeable) answer the following?

1. Since custom recovery is not available for G920A, which of the Tmobile/Sprint/International versions of TWRP custom recovery would you recommend to use for testing if bootloader is unlocked, using either ODIN or dd method?

2. If bootloader is unlocked, you are suggesting below that it should boot up. However, if it is locked, then will the phone still boot up? i.e. if one does not go into recovery mode, will it still boot up or does the bootloader check if both recovery and kernel are signed and if it finds that the recovery is unsigned, will it also prevent the signed kernel from booting up?

Thanks!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadster1976:
Update: This issue has now been confirmed solved for the Hulu, HBO Go, and HBO NOW app update error.

There are 2 ways to remedy the issue:

1. The prefered method is to update to the newest ROM. Rbox has issued an updated version of his ROM 5.2.4.2_r2. You can get a copy at the forum post here 5.2.4.1_r2. This updated version fixes playback errors in the new Hulu app as well as HBO (Go and Now) issues. Be sure to follow normal flashing instructions. Note - 5.2.4.2_r1 will NOT work for the new Hulu app (4.x.x).

2. If, for some reason, you do not want to flash an updated ROM. For the quick and dirty solution, post #12 gives instructions on correcting the problem. Note that this method only reverts to an older version of the app (3.x.x) and will not allow the new Hulu Live TV service functionality or the multiple accounts functionality. The same will need to be done for the HBO apk as well.

Original Post:

I'm surprised I'm the only one so far posting about this, but maybe I'm the only one experiencing problems.

The new HULU app updated automatically for me yesterday and immediately rendered playback impossible. Any show, movie, etc. comes back with a playback failure error code cdn-3-xxxxxxxx where the "x"s at the end change to different alpha numeric characters at any time. Here is what I have tried so far with NO POSITIVE RESULTS (in addition to speaking with HULU customer service support desk). I am on a rooted box using TWRP and rbox's system files (sloane).

Uninstalled and reinstalled app

Restarted AFTV

Unauthorized app via HULU website and re-authorized

Restarted router, cable modem, and AFTV (even a long term restart as requested by HULU tech support)

Updated AFTV software version (originally I was on 5.2.4.0 - then I updated to 5.2.4.2)

Wiped cache (Factory Reset)

As stated above, none of these worked.

HULU support gave me no way to uninstall the app and go back to an older (working) version, so I am currently stuck without a working version of HULU.

Here's what I'm interested in finding out from the community:

Has anyone experienced the same problems I have and then been able to get the app working correctly? If so, what method worked for you?

I can probably find an old version of the app online, however, I need to be able to block or turn off the update somehow... is there a method of turning the app update similar to how we stop the AFTV from updating automatically?

Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd really like the old version of the app back, since the newer version is crap.
