[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sparky.lyon:
Hi, I purchased an S7 Edge duo G935FD that was from Nigeria (CSC code ECT). It was running on Android 6 when I booted so I upgraded to 7 through OTA and checked Knox which showed as 0x0. I live in the UK and am with EE network, so i decided to flash the EE stock firmware to enable OTA and VoLTE (see download link below). The EE CSC code (EVR) did not show in my available CSC on the original firmware.

I downloaded and flashed the second to most recent EE firmware, so i could test OTA. The EE firmware is for the single sim version of the phone but I have read on this forum that the single sim firmware can be flashed to the duo. I flashed BL, AP, CP, CSC using Odin. I didn’t select re-partition.

The phone booted fine but the knox count had tripped to 0x1. I received notification of an OTA update but the OTA update failed (it downloaded and the phone rebooted, but the file did not take for some reason and i received an error message).

I then re-flashed the firmware but this time I selected re-partition in Odin. Everything worked and the OTA was successful.

How did I trip knox? I don’t want to make the same mistake in the future. Was it because i didn’t re-partition the phone on my first flash?

Many thanks

The firmware I downloaded: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/...U1DQE7/168839/

TEAMWIN TWRP v3.1.1 for the RAZR M KKBL (xt907 KKBL)

Built from source: http://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_lineageos.git

All the usual prefaces to using this project. ie/eg I am not responsible for anything if you flash this zip in regards to your device or data etc etc etc :p

I have built this blindly (ie NO testing whatsoever) as I only have a JBBL device. It was easy for me to build since I have built a JBBL version, and I thought someone may find it useful IF it worked.

Please let me know if it works for you?
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
No-one has tried it?
[Droid RAZR M General] Shmaks:
Works like a charm for me :)
[Droid RAZR M General] aggressivepixels:
Worked like a charm here. :D
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
Now you just have to find a KKBL ROM to use it against :fingers-crossed: but maybe this will be a case of now that a way to flash it has been made, "build it and they will come":rolleyes:
[Droid RAZR M General] drovecrazie:
Works great so far, just about to try a lineage rom.

Will keep you posted.
[Droid RAZR M General] paperjam252:
For anyone wanting to try this just a pointer. This isn't a TWRP flashable zip so you will need to use your computer to extract the IMG file and sideload using fastboot. Working great so far.

Does this require an unlocked bootloader? I am rooted.

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

I have XT907 KitKat 4.4. ready to try. Just need to know if I need an unlocked bootloader. That said, I am rooted.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
you MUST have an unblocked bootloader to flash a custom recovery. ie this.
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
I only asked because 1) wasn't mentioned in this thread specifically. 2) Not all devices require the bootloader be unlocked. 3) Why does it need to be a custom recovery? I still get confused about that from time to time because it just amazes me that it seems that's where things seem to always end up and sometimes seems to be a bit too convenient. I'm not vastly familiar with bootloader technology so that's where I scratch my head. I can install TWRP, get to all the settings and options, so why can't I just back up the proper files/imgs and flash the zip?

Looks like I'm going to have to rely on Sunshine then. I wish they accepted Bitcoin. It's that, or lose the phone to old age as it's components and functions fail slowly, one by one. I know I can reflash the stock firmware, it's been done a...few...times.

EDIT: Well s**t. Sunshine DOES accept Bitcoin. If I had known that ages ago...ugh
[Droid RAZR M General] mr3p:
Just wanted to pass on this TWRP build for KKBL worked great. I ended up "downgrading" to JBBL in order to load a current LineageOS build.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
It appears it was just me :o

I re-flashed my bootloader upgrade CAREFULLY via fastboot, and the error on wiping cache disappeared. however, I still haven't been able to flash a bootable KKBL ROM. It was suggest via PM that I also wipe my internal SDCard, which I have yet to try.

I see the posts saying it works, but has anyone actually successfully flashed and booted (ie past the bootanimation ) any ROM Zip file using this recovery?

Or performed a backup and restore?

I ask this as I finally got around to creating an upgrade (from JBBL to KKBL) for my phone (an xt905 not an xt907) and the two ROMs I tried both boot looped on the bootanimation:(. Also, I get errors when i try to wipe my cache.:(

Is it just me?:confused:

-----edit-----

I got a PM saying that someone has managed to flash an LP ROM for KKBL using this recovery. So obviously I need to go back to the drawing board on my upgrade to KKBL...
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
I am considering adding PDS (ie FSD) backup to my TWRP builds see https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74136332&postcount=9 it also applies to KKBL.
[Droid RAZR M General] Galaxyninja66:
The boot loader has to be unlocked because of the nature of the boot loader itself. I ain't no expert, but based on my understanding and what I personally know, here is what a boot loader does:

A boot loader checks the various images (recovery, boot, radio, etc.) and if any of these are incorrect/unsigned (like a custom recovery), your device won't boot. This makes sense, because most users aren't flashing their devices, so when an image is unsigned something is VERY WRONG. Unlocking a boot loader basically turns off the signature check that the boot loader does. If the boot loader isn't checking each image than it will boot up fine whether you have a custom recovery or not.
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Recently reacquired an xt907 after "losing" mine. Anyways I rooted with Kingroot and used the mrw root.sh script to switch to supersu. I had to use an older version if kingroot, 4.9.6 for it to work. I then used the Sunshine app to unlock bootloader for $25 and used terminal emulator to 'dd' TWRP to recovery. Everything is perfect and am glad all still works as such.

Now my point: is there an easy guide or something that I can use to port an updated TWRP image? May thanks to everything.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
Easy is a relative scale to the person asking the question. Read and answer it for yourself. TWRP builds are muuuuuch simpler than ROM builds.

The following two may mean you do not have to build. I have never used them, as I built mine from source.

2.) Booting

What don't work?

1.) Almost everything

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
sub77 made this, roms I make are stock based, but other than tab 4, roms are cm or lineage os.

could I ask the reason why? but im going to try to port my own soon :) with some help.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sscsps:
Did you compile it or port it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Of?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sscsps:
What?

Do you know what compiling a Rom means?

Or do you know what porting a rom from one device to other mean?

If you don't know what either of these mean, then this is not your Rom, i want to contact the developer.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
I do know about compiling, and porting.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sscsps:
So, did you compile it or port it?

Or did you modify stock?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Did I say anything about that I had made this ROM?

On the top I gave 100% credit of who made this ROM, I found it on the internet and I posted it on XDA so everyone can give it a try. I never knew it was going to hurt anyone for me to post a ROM.

All I know, it is the real Android 5.1.1 Lollipop made by sub77.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
If you can see on the top of the post I had put, "Thanks to sub77,

we got a booting Android 5.1.1 ROM.".

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
It isn't fixable.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Scawson:
So I downloaded this rom and I have to say that it is a pretty good start on the development of a room that isn't KitKat or touchwiz which is why I think based off the issues I have experienced I think it is a kernel issue and with some additional work it could work. I think one issue causing crashes and reboots is the theme or textures not all loading or are missing completely and Android might be trying to restart and reload missing info.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] glados19965:
im gonna try right now

maybe i can help someway

actually trebuchet has some bugs it gives me error everytime and it use ram a lot maybe thats why restart itself if you can change the main launcher you can fix the random restarts and lag

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Lman:
Hi there guys. I have i-mate JASJAR(htc universal)

symptoms: no USB sync, no charging via anything, EXCEPT when battery is taken out and charged independantly, ie. in other device or cradle charger.

A mate had the phone before me and was in a emergency to charge it, so he bought a not so trustworthy charger and charged the phone, it charged for 30 seconds and then completely died.

I have aquired the phone and am trying to track down the source of the problem, thing is, when I charge the battery externally when it's not in the phone and then put it into the phone, everything works normally, except that the battery doesnt charge when I plug the phone into PC via USB, and there is no USB connectivity.

Sending the phone off for repairs is not an option to me. does anyone have an idea where the battery charging sub circuit is on the main pcb?

A full schematic of the device would also be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Louis.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicarumba:
Hello all

Apologies in advance for the quality of this question, it's by no means particularly technical. I have searched quite extensively but I can't seem to find the answer ... at least, the answer I want! I have a suspicion it's the end of the line for this phone but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

It's my Dad's M9, UK/Vodafone spec. It's never been modified, rooted, customised. He messaged me a couple of days ago to say he had a report of "com.android.settings" stopping and he was unable to access the phone settings. After some quick searching the phone was rebooted, followed by a factory reset (boot into recovery, as settings didn't work). The phone now fails to boot, stopping at the HTC logo forever. I have tried all the button combinations I can find, volume up + power to simulate a battery pull (this reboots the phone, but it goes right back to the same point and freezez), volume down and power, into recovery, cache format and factory reset, this then goes through the motions of "Android Starting .... optimizing 218 of 218) and then stays there forever, requiring another battery pull.

My last thoughts were to flash a stock ROM in the hope of returning it to factory settings that way, but every one I have tried fails. The latest failure was 12_ZIP_FAIL or something similar, which I read is to do with it being S-ON ? What I'm gathering from all this is, I can't flash it because it's not unlocked, I can't unlock it because it won't boot, I can't boot it because it needs a flash... I'm now at the mercy of the XDA community. Is there any way back or is this phone for the trash? Details here :

I can then reboot, reboot to bootloader, boot to download mode or boot to recovery mode. Or power down.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Error 12 has nothing to do with the phone being S-ON. Please read the ReadMe thread, carefully. You don't need to be unlocked for flashing RUUs. The thread contains explanations for the most common RUU errors, the correct RUU for the phone and flashing instructions.

Due to the bootloader still showing "Official" and not "Modified" with a "Security Warning" I don't think that this phone suffers from a dead nand. Therefore, it should be recoverable.

How do you make a choice between LG's own system applications, such as clocks, calendars, QUICK memos +, and Google apps? It's too hard for me ,because they each have their own advantages. So I want to hear your opinion. How would you choose to use, all with LG? All with Google? Or other options?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gewecht:
I'll fully admit to perhaps a bit of cognitive dissonance with this answer. I bought the LG G6 as an upgrade from my Nexus 6p. I liked the smaller footprint, but comparable screen size. I also liked the UX.

However, I generally don't use the built-in LG apps.

* Launcher - Replaced with Nova

* Email / Calendar / Contacts - I use Nine (from 9 Folders)

* Phone - Google Dialer

* Music - Google Music

* Clock - Google Clock

* Camera - AH! I use the LG Camera

Generally I've found that the built-in apps lack functionality that I grew to rely on while I was on my Nexus 6p, and while there may be some benefits to using the LG apps, I find they have more minor annoyances in workflow and are more restrictive - even if they look more at home in the LG skin.

Perhaps I'm simply being stubborn and don't want to adjust my workflow. Then again... that's the best part about Android :)

mix and match, according to workflow/needs. for example:

- i use the LG Gallery so i know what's on my phone (plus the UI is nice and simple) AND i use Google Photos for free and easy backup, and gallery sharing

- LG QuickMemo+ is proprietary, and i can't edit/add outside of the phone. so i disabled that, and use Google Keep instead (besides, i have years of Keep material)

- LG Calendar is pretty boring, but at least it has options for monthly view. so until Google Calendar gets their head sorted, i'm stock
