[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenfone_Purgatory:
Hello all, thanks in advance for any help you provide.

Both the screen and touchscreen are broken on my Zenfone 2. I have retrieved all my photos and videos from usb, but I'm unable to view or retrieve any of my contacts. I've tried rooting my phone with Kingroot and doing a full recovery with Kies 3 and Syncios but all of them require USB debugging to be enabled, which I don't have. I tried PC link and Vysor to get the phone display mirrored on my PC monitor but no luck there either since I need to install the apps on the phone as well as my PC. As the title states I have no custom recovery, but I've heard of a process called flashing a custom recovery. I don't know if this can be done with a completely broken screen, or if this will even help me at all, but if it will then I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me figure out how to do it.

If anybody has any ideas, please share them with me. I haven't worked with phones at all in the past, so if you can then please try to explain things in a simple way.

*Edit* I have checked out this thread, which has a helpful tutorial on how to recover data in my situation, but I don't know how to get the custom recovery image for the Zenfone 2.

If you are handy, a new screen is around $20-$25 US. There are a few videos on YouTube on how to replace it. It's not very difficult. I've done it.

I just bought a Z17 mini 569H, but it doesn't have a "updater" app nor can I find a "search for update" on the menu! Why? Is it a shopROM?
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] ndroe:
Hi, You can try to download the rom from nubia.com/de or nubia.com/in, and place it in sdcard.

Power off the device, then enter to recovery mode (hold on power on and volume up) --> choose update package --> choose from sd card.

It is work with me, now i'm using EUCommon_V2.01
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
I will try it, do you have any solution for using the menu button as recent apps?

Hello there, I've found the Stock rom on nubia.com/in but I was wondering, do they come with Google play services and play store now? Or should i stick to the custom rom that it came with when I bought it on aliexpress? Cant seem to find any info if the official rom they have comes with Google play or not >< sorry if its been asked before, but I cant find any posts about it ><
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] OperatorB:
Hi, the most recent stock ROM (v2.06) don't come with Google services. I've checked it yesterday. But you can install Google stuff (gapps) with custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) easily if you are interested.

Any reason you don't just update system with the built-in updater? ;)

Aaah, that upgrade stuff, if I have NX569H_ENCommon_V1.30, and I download the new verson, Rename it to update and so on, will that alow me to keep all my aps and so forth? Or will that update clean out my phone? Reason why i dont want to run twrp on this phone is because i wanted to keep it Original without messing with twrp and so forth on it, I got my s8+ that i use for rooted stuff ^^
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] OperatorB:
If new stock update is out for your NX569H - like you mentioned - then after updating you'll have all the apps as before.

Where did you found stock ROMs for 6GB version? :confused:

Why do you want to rename that?
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] geneziz:
I googled arround, and on a german forum, some guys said that http://www.nubia.com/in/support.php?a=phone&pid=54

That one would work, eventho it says its for the 569J, it would run on 569H aswell, some guy said that he had that running on his 569H with Google play and services!

About the rename, they said that to use the update feature built into the phone, easyest way was to rename the downloaded file to update.zip, and go into settings and update phone, and the phone would reccognize the file and install the update.

Also an english verson here : https://www.getdroidtips.com/zte-nubia-z17-stock-firmware/

However, its not an xda post, so I dont trust it ? therefor i was hoping that someone had tried it here, so I could confirm that it works or not ?
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] OperatorB:
Well it is strange indeed that no stock ROMs were published for 6GB versions but i'm not 100% sure that an easy rename is enough for a device with different hardware setup - though i'm not a professor in this topic -.

Additionally as i know there is a stock v1.30 rom out surely for 6GB version and there is no such version number for 4GB version.

I would say that stick to official roms and updates though there is no 6GB version which I'm aware of. But most importantly if you are not certain, try to avoid bricking your beautiful device, it's just too nice to put away. :fingers-crossed:

PS: if you very enthusiastic about modding, try e.g. Mokee's rom. It is quite sophisticated i think with android 7. (but create a system backup with stock i suggest)

Has the "Global-ROM" the same code base as the CN?

http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/38

vs. e.g.

https://www.nubia.com/de/support.php?a=phone&pid=31

Global has V2.01/2.06/2.09/2.10

CN has ....V2.04/2.09/2.13/2.18

or in other words, can we assume that we will also get a version >V2.18 in next time?

Hi,

In fact, I am using a i9195 (S4 mini serranoltexx) smartphone with ROM cm-11-20160212-UNOFFICIAL, last unofficial version of CM11, available on this forum. I am also using Open Gapps (pico package 4.4 for ARM).

The issue concerns Google maps : each time I launch the application, after few seconds, i get a message "Maps application has stopped" (not sure of the thanslation, since my phone is in french). I installed aLogCat application to look at the logs, that shows a final error :

"08-29 01:35:14.185 5626 5656 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.VerifyError: tname=DefaultPool4 - Verifier rejected class alul due to bad method atsu alul.a(android.content.Context, audy) (declaration of 'alul' appears in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/code_cache/secondary-dexes/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk.classes2.zip)"

What does it mean ? What is the issue (Google maps is up to date, and so the google applications). Be ingulgent, this is my first message... Aparently, google maps is the only application that crashes.

A detailed log is available here , with a crash generated at 01:35.

ok well i have the sprint touch... and i love to slingbox to it. THe sports are really choppy but i mean im getting a 300-500 kpbs connection all the time. So i know the speed is fine. I set motion to high on the settings, but... still its rlly choppy. I heard it was a directdraw problem, and is there anyway to fix it. Possibly on the Slingbox end or? what? or spm program, or a hack to wm6 to make it go to another codec, or just a fix in general for wm6??? anyone???

I am not getting into a discussion over this!!! What I was saying is that there are so many people complaining about HTC yet we all still have them so we must like them.

Either stop winging about it and accept that HTC have got a number of things wrong or go and get something else!!

Back to the topic at hand...

I don't know how the encoding of the slingbox works, and if you can modify the encoding settings, but i managed to stream from via VLC with the following scenario:

My Dreambox -> My PC (VLC Transcoding to qVga) -> Internet -> WiFi -> HTC Herald (VLC Client).

I don't remember the bitrate when i tested it, but my connection at home caps at 256Kb upload, so that means the stream was on a somewhat lower bitrate.

If you can modify the Slingbox encoding settings and play with them, maybe drop the quality somewhat shouldn't you be able to view the stream?

ps. if something above doesn't make sense, i just woke up :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pidsw:
It seems like my (newish) HTC Touch Rom with WM6.1 doesn't use DirectDraws at all.

I did some remote debugging on it, and while I am not a mobile programmer all indications were that this was a sigificant change from WM 6.0. (I.e. call stacks during video playback newer show directDraw, while in the past they did).

Personally I really like my Vogue. It seems to get the most trash talk of all of the HTC's, but it works for my needs tastes better than anything else I have owned.

To be fair, my last phone was back in the WM5 days, so that last statement is not exactly a fair coparison.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakefrost:
hi, dear xda forumers!

this is my very first post, and i am not very good at tech things, so please bear with me (plus I may unwantingly commit grammatical mistakes because i am not a native speaker and it is 2AM here)

first my back story:

I had a Huawei Mate 8 (nxt-l29c....something) European version, I had it for about 6 or 7 months, then it was stolen. By that time it had automatically upgraded to Nougat and I really liked it, got used to it, could not live without it.... so i decided to buy the same phone again. It came with Marshmallow, and I tried to update it but the OTA had been for a limited time only I guess, I emailed around with official huawei customer service asked them maybe to update my device from their headquarters or something, but they could not help me, they said I should just wait and eventually it would update.

after 3 months still nothing I grew impatient and I really wanted to have my "old experience" back, so I tried a tutorial with updating via filmware finder, using one of the first updates that were about 2GB big. It was successful, so it seemed at first, because there were no errors or interruptions, but finally when I turned it on, I noticed that during the update process my phone has lost the built in keyboard (still has the google), no more bluetooth, alarm clock, date time settings, update option

I downloaded the official rollback to Android 6 from 7 but since I updated with an unofficial update, it failed to fix my phone. now I still have the issues listed above.

Now I ended up with

Model number: NXT-L29C900B500 (originally it was NXT-L29C432B180)

EMUI version: 5.0

Android version: 7.0

Edit:

Now trying to use a new filmware from the official huawei website with the dload method

Edit 2:

it did not do anything. I will try again when I wake up

I kindly ask anyone who has any idea how to fix this to reply. :(

So i went to look again at one at Best Buy. I decided that it's really rather unattractive looking, especially compared to my s8+, the upcoming v30, the upcoming mate 10, and even the iPhone 8. It's gotten too big and unweildy and it really is boxy looking. And the back camera module also looks ugly. Every other manufacturer is going smaller except Samsung.

I was thinking the same based on photos on the net but in the real life it looks little bit better than S8+ in my eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
the s8+ was too long in your pocket...this thing is going to be ridiculous. Note FE/7 seems the ideal to me.

Are these now appearing in shops for pre-orders? I'm not ordering one until I've compared it to my FE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.Ash.Man:
In my personal opinion i hate how the s8+ is so round and i think that is kinda ugly, i personally prefer the look of the Note 8 over the S8 / plus by far. Then again i've always been a Galaxy Note fan.

That is kinda wrong, Samsung has always done this with there "Note" Series and you are correct its what makes the Note stand out from all these other devices which i think is a good thing. I mean it's not like the next "S" Model is gonna be like a "Note" It will be more similar to the "S" Series and the latest from that is the S8 Plus which has infact gotten smaller just a bit taller.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BigMosley:
I actually feel the complete opposite, I think the rounded corners of the s8+ look ugly and the squarish "candy bar shape" looks much more uniform.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:

True...true...true
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
I agree, but each note was boxier than their respective counterparts. It is one of the main attributes of the Note; more real estate for the SPen...you are correct, though, with the curve variances between Notes. I think that once users start using the pen and seeing how the screen performs, users will accept the boxy nature more so than at first glance. What do you think?

Hi,

Hope you can help, if I root with super su for just change build pro settings, and then full unroot, will I keep the changes?? Or there is a another way to change build prop variable without root? I'm in G930F Nougat stock rom

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yes the changes will remain if you unroot but why would you? You have already tripped KNOX etc by rooting in the first place, and your system status will remain 'Custom', so things like banking apps will likely still fail to work

No you can't change system files without root, build.prop is a system file
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] speechgotham3:
Thanks you so much for your answer, it's exactly because some video apps and banking as you said not work with root and they are essential for me. The problem is, I'm root since a long time, s health just work editing build prop, and since a few months ago, some apps like my bank, and video apps stop working because of root, and I need both things now, and I remember that before root(with already Knox tripped) they work fine.
