[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptianXLAB:
Sorry to be away for such a long time... I'm back. xD

As soon as my exams are over, to do this upgrade.

I'll do it like this:

1. Copy the update zip file to MicroSD. [Filename: UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.352-user.zip]

2. Full system image backup using TWRP - All Partitions to MicroSD, then transfer to my PC (Just because I want to xD )

3. Clean format all partitions on my phone (I've had enough "errors after updating" issues on PC, so)

4. Select the update zip file from TWRP, flash it.

5. HOPEFULLY there won't be any errors (If there will, I'll simply restore everything from the backup I just made on step 2. Nothing lost!)

6. Reboot and pray for it to work xD

[if it still works and boots just fine]

7. Remove SIMs, MicroSD, etc., Factory Reset (again. Just cos I want to xD )

[Hope for it to still work on rebooting]

8. Check if everything's working (all apps, calling, playstore, etc. just to make sure)

9. Install everything, sync up, make it my phone again

10. Reboot, boot into Recovery (to see if TWRP is still there?)

11. if TWRP isn't there, Boot into Fastboot, flash a stable TWRP recovery to replace the default one using my PC.

12. Create a MM (before-root) backup of all partitions. (Actually, I'll create THREE backups, can't risk any failures xD )

13. Download the latest SuperSU, Flash it. Download a supported Viper4AndroidFX v5 apk or flashable zip, install/flash that too.

14. Set up root apps (CPU Tuner, Titanium Backup, BusyBox, etc) and first thing to see if Viper4Android works.

[Cos if my phone aint havin' v4a, everything above is useless for me because I can't live without that perfected sound and I'll just revert! xD ]

That seems to be about it. Will all this work? Any suggestions?

Some questions I still have -

There's also a recovery.img file in that zip. Will it overwrite TWRP?

Will the bootloader be locked again after this update? (unlocking it was a long search for android LP)

And the main reason not-that-tech-related I'm wanting an upgrade now (Substratum!):

Spoiler content hidden.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
Hi,newbie here.My device isn't rooted.Yesterday, I downloaded Marshmallow update 6.0.1.At 43%,I started the update.I thought it will complete in that.you know,the logo and all came.I watched it updating till 85% then got on with my work.Then,I felt a vibration.I saw it rebooting and then it showed samsung logo in all white.It wouldn't move forwards after that.I heard 3 vibrations periodically.The 1st one...4 sec gap...and then the 2nd & 3rd vibrations in quick succession.And it would go on infinitely until the battery discharged.I plugged it in the wall charger and then I noticed the charging has also become very slow.I left it for charging at 6 AM and till now(12:14pm),its just 58%.I read in a thread about force restrat and quickly going into recovery mode.I wiped the cache partition hoping it would solve the problem but it didn't. I couldn't understand the rest of the part,so I didn't try.I selected power off option and right now it is charging.I have important data stored on the internal storage so I fear doing a factory reset.I also have fingerprint lock on it so I have no idea how to connect to PC and use.I got no idea about flashing roms.Is there any possible way to revert back to lollipop? I just want my data before I do something.Please help.Also,I had some pics(only pics) in the private mode.I also need to recover that.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Yea your going to have to flash a stock image via Odin.

Your going to have to do some reading on XDA, no way round it, there is no quick fix with a few buttons lol.

Here is the general flow, read on XDA to fill in your gapps.

1. Find load Samsung USB drivers

2. Find latest version of ODIN, Samsung flashing tool

3. Find and download stock image suitable for your version / country

4. Flash it

like I said read, read, and read again, all the info you need is here in good detail.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
See,that is the problem.As I mentioned in the post,I have no idea what uou just said.I have only the slightest idea about yhus stuff.As I don't want to mess with my data,I am asking for a specific solution to this problemAny help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Read this entire thread

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/stuck-samsung-logo-t3067773

If you don't get it use Google to help.

Dude, you need to learn what all this stuff means , or pay someone to do it for you, simple as that.

Relax about your data, its still there. It can be recovered via adb , or even easier flash twrp recovery and use the inbuilt file manager and copy it to USB or SD card.

But before you do a shed load of study any further advice is useless, hows your PC skills?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
Well,that depends on the definition of PC skills.I think I am aware of the basics
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
So,you mean to say by that I will get my data AS WELL AS tab? Will I get the data which was on private mode?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
The thread which you mentioned has a stock recovery for T805 I think.I got T705.Will it work for mine or would i have to download for t705?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Nope best get one for t705, but while you are here I would flash twrp custom recovery here,

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100

That recovery has a file manager in it, you can copy files around before you ever get to booting android, which is exactly what you need for your data.

You seem to be progressing quite fine, another day or so an you will have the experience necessary, you put yourself down on the first post, there is nothing wrong with your technical skills, your obviously a bright chap.

I'm not at all sure of private mode, have zero clue what it is or how it works, but I'm confident it can be cracked somehow. After all most other parts of Samsung have been cracked including fingerprint/pin lock.

But if you first flash twrp and see if you can data off that way, then if that fails we can have a go at cracking Samsung propper.

Yes tab is fine, data is fine, both will be back with a little time and effort. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
So,basically..

1. I need to download twrp recovery on my pc.(Also,I don't think i had usb debugging enabled(i read that somewhere that it is needed to install twrp,i don't know)So,is that a issue or is it safe to proceed without it being enabled?)

2.Connect the tab to pc.

3.Download it to the tab via odin mode/flash it with sd card.

4.Take back up(one silly question: where will the back up get stored)(another one,just need to confirm: i will install twrp via odin mode and then boot into recovery mode and take back up,right?).

5.Then,Install stock rom via sd card(is that correct?)

And Then what?Am I good to go? Tab will just switch on then and I will have my data?help me here please.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
1. Nope do not need adb enabled etc, your fine there

2. yep

3. Yep, just make sure you have appropriate Samsung USB drivers installed, and most recent version of Odin would be nice, you flash it by selecting file on PC which is then flashed to device, no SD card used.

4 yep, In twrp you have choice of where to put backup, chose extrenal SD card and your good to go.

4.1 When in twrp, go to advanced>file manager, navigate to your internal storage, then you can copy your data directly to SD card.

STOP HERE.

When you have successfully flashed twrp. Stop, at this point we have all the tools you need installed to start hunting for your data, and proberly repair your current installation. If your data is encrypted somewhere we definitely need to repair the boot, that's going to be easiest method.

Once we have the data, then yes flash a standard image.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
Do i need to flash twrp recovery specific for my device or is it same for everyone?If it is specific,where can I get one? And is it necessary for my device to be rooted in order to install twrp recovery? And by back up,will I be able to replicate my entire data including app data,files,documents,etc. which was stored before it went into bootloop or will twrp help me recover only selective stuff?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Yes you need t705 twrp https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100

Nope do not need root.

From twrp you can do anything you need, full backup, selective, Fix your current system, flash a new one without overwriting your data pretty much anything.

What avenue we need to take depends totally what your data is and where it was stored, the answers in the detail, if its sensitive you can pm me.

But first be VERY CONFIDENT you have read everything you can get about ODIN and flashing twrp. I can guide you but your there not me, its up to you to know what you are doing. Just read a bit more, I think another day or so of intensive reading and you will be there. As I keep saying your not stupid just focus, there is frigg all difference between you and an android developer, they have just obsessively read up on the subject, you have not lol
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
Could you be available to guide me along the way as I don't want to mess this up? I am pretty confident now that I know that my data is safe and can be recovered. Data mostly consists of some docs and rest are valuable photos.I am just worried about the data stored on private mode(just photos).whether I will be able to recover it or not.So,I really need an expert's way to get it done.I have been reading a lot and I think I am ready. I have messed up my exams due to this.I have an exam tomorrow LOL.And I am busy with this because I won't get settled before I fix it.Also,thanks a lot for your valuable info and attention.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Dude if I was there would do it for you lol, yes sure will help you all the way.

Now your up to speed, I will write you a detailed guide to get your data, with as many screenshots as can take, I'm 90% sure your data is not encrypted, hence is somewhere on the tab in plain format.

If you don't need the data for exams, drop this for a couple of days and concentrate on what's left of exams. I will have your detailed guide finished when you do.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
I had some notes and assignments in that.Though,I can work somehow without them.But,I need to fix this within 3 to 4 days.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vecna:
Just did a Google on private mode, the files under private mode ARE encrypted, that means although you can recover them you can't read them.

If we repair the tab they SHOULD. Be accessible ( once back in private mode) , but zero guarantees.

The other files, no problem.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
As long as there's hope,I am ready to try anything.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJB:
Hey,my exams are finally over.Can you give a final walkthrough so that things don't go sideways? It would be really helpful.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You seem to be blowing this out of proportion and making it more complicated than it actually is.

The first thing you should do is simply install the stock firmware via odin. There are literally hundreds of in depth guides how to do this. Even the websites you download the software from usually have a guide.

I suggest you install the same android version you originally had as this is safest. If that doesn't boot then move on to the Marshmallow update.

Dont expect instant boot after installing either as the update can take some time to boot.

If worse comes to worse then there is always the option of installing Twrp. However there should be no reason your device shouldn't boot after installing the stock firmware unless the device has had a hardware failure.

Your private folder files should also be accessible via Twrp. They aren't encrypted in my experience and I have accessed files in the private folder just fine.

Yes i have finally done it

This is TOTAL NOOB guide to flash TWRP , with shed load of screen shots, if you dont get it from this then hey :)

Although its also for Fenris users it should suit you just fine.

But this is just for flashing TWRP on a T705, its not covering flashing a standard image.

I would listen to Ashyx , that guy has forgotten more about the tab s than i will ever learn lol

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Yea and i have just created another guide for flashing TWRP, in my opinion a lot better quality then the ones you find around ( for a start using screenshots of up to date TWRP and Odin )

https://mega.nz/#!8wJAkTAb!ibZ27umABKmdX_CaU0bVY3Czm8Rj9iZ8vj1npA3xVsY

I would welcome some input from a guy with your experience.

The target apk is running the shell such as "cat /proc/cpuinfo" to look up the information.

I tried to hook java.lang.Runtime.exec but just got "sh", not the detail command.

Is there anyway to hook and get the full command?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Darkest shades:
Hi all,

It seems to me the battery statistics of my phone is so inaccurate. After a full charge of 100%, and say that I've been using it for while and drain 30% of it, but in the the total battery used up in the battery stats seems rather wrong, with all usage totalling up to only about 20-25%.

Where's the rest of it. What other applications using it? What causes the drain that can't be displayed?

Do any of you experienced the same?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] NaCorL:
That's an android thing and there is no way, as far as I know, of getting around it. Almost every phone has this problem. Battery stats seem to be set up in a way that only shows percentages from apps that are either actively being used or are using up a lot a battery in the background.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Darkest shades:
Well that really sucks. Is there really no way of telling it at all?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] NaCorL:
Well other than that you could get a wakelock detector app to tell when apps are using up too much background power but other than that just killing apps that do show up in the list is one of the best ways to keep up your battery life.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] TheGripper:
As i understood it shows percentage of percentage.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
I think gsam reports out of total if you have root.. So when you add up each percent category it will sum to 100%
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Darkest shades:
There you go, root. I stopped with rooting quite a while back. I still recall the main reason I root was simply because I hate ads. Thankfully, adguard got that fixed. And some customizations that is possible nowadays. Besides that, it ain't all that worthy of roots anymore(IMO) , and as of late, if anything, root will take away the convenience that come with my banking app because it won't run with root.

Thanks for for reply.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Darkest shades:
They better off make it percentage of percentage of percentage.

As the saying goes, if you can't convince em, confuse em. Lmfao.

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.

Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?

Thanks...

[Android Head-Units] flash_xx:
Considering all the problems I had with Malaysk I hope not. Honestly I'm about to give up on the chinese crap radios and just buy an Alpine unit with Android Auto. Bad audio, crap screen, crashes, constant reboots, spotify keeps losing account, waze locks up, etc. I had hoped Malaysk would fix all that and ended up making it worse, so went back to stock. I don't see the radio's quality improving either, if anything they keep getting worse.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
The problem w/ Waze I think is waze, they just aren't supporting/testing 4.4.4 anymore. YOu cannot blame malaysk for that. Perhaps downgrade waze. When does your waze crash? MIne does usually before populating the map fully and it just started a month or two ago. The HW on the new ones seems so muhc better.

And downloading capabilities (though I didn't really use that as TubeMate downloads are much faster because of acceleration). So OGYoutube isn't useless.
