[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSaun:
Hello. So i downloaded and installed Android 8.0.0 3 hours ago and everything worked fine. Then a 41.5 mb security update came and i downloaded it safely too. But i tried to install it and if keeps showing a black screen with android moving ring logo with "Installing Security Update" beneath it for last 2 hours. Is it normal? Or am i ****ed? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohhaxs:
If it stays on that screen, hold power and volume down for a while, and your phone will reboot. Hopefully your phone will boot to normal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strathos:
Thank you! I had the same after Oreo security update. The ring was pulsating for ~40 minutes while the progress bar below it was fully completed, then a bit of googling and found this. Held down power and volume down, it restarted the update process and this time it took less than a minute. After that it reboots to Android and finishes the update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
Hey.Is Oreo Stable.Ima Using Nexus 6P.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strathos:
I'd say it's stable, but at least on 5X it's a little slower. Could be a number of reasons so YMMV. However the new notification system is not very nice. There's a lot of redundant notifications from core Android system, and to get around this there's an app called AutoNotification which can hide unnecessary notifications. It worked for a while with the initial Oreo release, but now it seems this latest security patch did something that broke the functionality of AutoNotification. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
Thanks.So Now I Know That I need To Update The Phone to Get Oreo And Stay Away From The Security Update.Maybe 6P could Handle The Load and Could Give Better functionality.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrpoppop:
So I have been up all night and day trying to figure out how to root my old phone, every root app is just BS. I've followed instructions which are not very clear.

The phone is currently at 6.0.1 and apparently I need to downgrade BUT ODIN won't detect it. probably due to the port being wonky. I have tried many troubleshooting tricks and nothing is working.

If someone could please help me figure this out or tell me I am wasting my time and redirect me to another thread that this was already figured out, that would be great. I will try to provide as much information as possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
If ODIN isn't detecting the phone in download mode, try on a different PC, you might just need to install or replace drivers.

There is a full root guide here: https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrpoppop:
I tried, I did the whole drivers thing, what I'm saying is the COMPUTER isn't even recognizing my phone, the port on my phone has been messed up for a while, it USED to work with ODIN a few months ago but I haven't tried until recently. Again, I heard there IS ways to do a root without ODIN, which would be nice rather than all this complicated driver stuff. That's honestly what I would rather do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrpoppop:
Side note, I was told to post here after a reddit user said the response time and help would be great. (lol @ me)

I don't have another computer to try, and I have tried several versions of ODIN. So could someone please give some advice, I am starting to think I have 0 options. I hate how the G900A is the most difficult (or one of the more difficult).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chin'ah.girl:
Currently there is no root method for the S5 on 6.0.1, downgrading and staying on a lower firmware version is the only way to have root for this phone until a viable security exploit is found; and since you cannot downgrade through ODIN because of the damaged port I'm afraid your only option is to accept the phone as is or get a different phone. All carrier branded smartphones are generally difficult to root, but Verizon and AT&T variants are more so. In the future look for a foreign variant (like the G900F in this case) if root is truly important to you if you plan on staying on a GSM network like AT&T.

Alternatively you could try ordering a new board from eBay if your port is bad but that would require some skill putting it back together (and also your phone would no longer be water resistant) but personally that would be too much of a hassle for me, but it is an option.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] jocareis:
Hello Guys,

I have a Zenfone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL) and it suddenly entered in bootloop. Never tried to flash any roms, root or anything else. Even usb debugging is disable.

I'm able to enter on fastboot mode (Power and Volume UP) only. Power and Volume down is not working (phone keeps rebooting).

I'm not a heavy user so to be honest I have no clue about a possible solution. I am able to run fastboot.exe but not adb since usb debugging is not enable.

Please help!! :)

Thanks and sorry about my poor english...

I would like to make sure I get a usable backup of the EFS partition from my Redmi Note 4 MTK (nikel), but I cannot figure out which partition it is. I've seen the long list in TWRP, and tried an app from the Play store, but nothing looks like a modem or an EFS partition.

Can someone enlighten me on which are the needed partitions for this important backup? Thanks!

Is there any one touch method of how to root the exynos 8890 version without flashing on the TWRP on just like king root does it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kyoung1033:
I have the S7 Edge originally the ATT version but I rooted and flashed the unlocked version firmware. I was trying to unroot the device and restore everything to the factory settings since I am using the trade in program through Samsung and have to send it back in stock. I tried to flash it using Zodin, the Mac version of Odin, but was unable to get it to work because I was not able to get the proper pit file, it always returned with the error that there is a corrupt file. Since I do not have Windows, I could not Flash the firmware using Odin. Out of desperation, I looked online and a website (the article was on Android forums with the title restore stock with flashfire no PC) said that I could use the Android app Flashfire to flash a firmware and return to the factory unrooted settings. I downloaded and inputted the full firmware file for the original AT&T firmware version and checked the boxes to wipe boot, system, internal data, and trusted Zone and also maintain everroot. It seemed to work and was processing with the fast scrolling command text on the black screen but after a few minutes it said there was an error at the very bottom of the screen. Eventually, it restarted but nothing has come up and the screen is black without any light from the LED indicator. I tried to restart it with the power button several times, holding down the power button and the volume down, holding down the home button and the power button, and holding down the power button, volume down, and home button. I left the phone unplugged overnight and plugged it in this morning to see if it would turn on but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am hoping that I did not brick the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AllSmokeEm:
Since Im not sure now if you also tryed to go in download mode again but ussualy you are always able to do that.

If not try to remove battery and put it back in after 10 minuts. And connect it to your laptop and let it charge for a few minuts. Next Hold buttons for dowload mode. Hold em for 5 secconds. Even if still have a blackscreen open samsung kies or switch. One of them has the emergency recovery option. It will detect it then and will say something like you need to repair the software want to continue etc. Lwt it do its thing and make sure you are on the internet. You drink some coffee and give it 30 minuts atleast.

Still not work? Try to put in a spare battery or charge it with another phone. If that not even works. I cant help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kyoung1033:
First of all, I do not have a battery that I can remove. I tried to enter download mode and recovery mode but nothing worked. It will not boot up into any mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pufnasti:
Just hold the button combination for download mode for 10sec and connect it to a PC with installed smart switch on it. Smart switch should detect your phone, even if the display of the phone stays black.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kyoung1033:
I tried what you recommended but nothing works still.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Remobilised:
I seem to have encountered the same problem, albeit not through exactly the same method. Essentially I managed a full stock firmware flash through ODIN, all the right messages came up and I got a pass from Odin. The phone rebooted and brought up the blue "updating" screen, which very quickly changed to a "removing" screen, at which point the phone froze. When I tried to reboot, the screen went black and now.... nothing. No recovery, no download, no light to indicate that its charging... nothing. My computer doesn't register there is even a device attached.

I've done heaps of flashing and never seen anything like this!

Would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance!

reflash but this time it check nand erase all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
NEVVER EVER CHECK NAND ERASE ALL, dont advise others what you don't know yourself. This is for manufacturer and is not intended for repairing, if you nand erase your phone its just a paper weight then, beyond recoverable. But this issue is caused by wrong partitioning i suppose, but still it must go in download mode, try plugging it in when smartswitch is open in pc while holding home+vol down+power , if it wont detect then i suppose its nand failure due to any reason. And motherboard replacement is required.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stootie:
I recommended it because I had the same experience of the black screen and blue led that lights up and I flashed more than 50 times without any result and the solution that was given to me and which walked it's this one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
If it really did nand erased all, your phone wouldn't even boot, your phone working is a proof it isn't nand erased. What people don't understand is that nand isn't the internal memory, its the non volatile memory holding vital info about functioning of phone just like a bios of computer, so if it is erased you are beyond recoverable damage. Here , i must say i dont know if odin can really nand erase all, because if your phone is working, nand is definitely not erased. And as far as what fixed your issues, there must have been some other reason. But for everyone, leave that option empty just to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] adviboy:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zaighumjawad:
HEY BRO...FIRST OF ALL , WHOEVER SAID THAT NAND ERASE OPTION AFFECTS PHONE... IM HERE FOR ANSWER. IHAVE FLASHED AND EVERYTIME used nanderase ...my phone feels brand new ..it jst repartitions the size of nand... also adding pit doesnt effect ...your problem is something other ... plug your phone to a good charger whole night.make sure charger is working...then try volume down and home and power into download mode..gudluck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Ofcourse it doesn't effect S7 edge, because it DOESNOT wipes the nand.. so its not working simply..

On older phones it will wipe nand totally and thats a dead brick..

First search what nand is.. its the non volatile memory.. or simply nand chip .. if you delete it.. your phone won't be a phone anymore.. its the non volatile memory that is equal to a bios of a computer.. delete non volatile memory and your phone is completely dead..

Thanks to the latest phones that don't erase non volatile memory and instead selecting nand erase with s7 edge simply deletes userdata before flashing.. which is equal to a normal hard reset .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wtang:
I have the T-Mobile S8 (G950U with Snapdragon) and I have this strange issue with Google Maps navigation. It's totally stock and not rooted. The volume of the turn-by-turn navigation voice gets soft, then loud, then soft, seemingly at random. Some phrases are spoken loud, then a few minutes later the next phrase is spoken soft. This happens whether I use the speaker on the phone or if I connect to my car's Bluetooth. Has anybody else experienced this behavior?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fakeaccnt12789:
Seems like no one replied to you sadly. I have the exact same issue. It sounds to me as if they are actually two different sets of recording types. The older and more robotic sounding one seems to not obey the "louder" voice level setting. I have also occasionally had them both start speaking at the same time, or immediately after each other - almost like I had two navigation systems up. It's very annoying, and sometimes causes me to pull over to check proper directions when I am motorcycling and listening inside my helmet with music on as well. This problem has been occurring since my Galaxy S6 and still appears on my S8+. I haven't found any solution yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TT Vario 2:

Exactly the same for me, and it has been for my last few Samsung phones, it really must affect loads of people,

I have the same issue on S7. It is not an android issue I think, because I never had anything similar on any other android device. This problem really bothers me and I cannot find a solution.

Note: THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO BYPASS FRP!

I am not responsible if you are dumb dumb and break your phone

This Solution is written in under 10 minutes AND WORKS ONLY AND ONLY FOR STOCK people with no experience stay away

This is not a comprehensive solution, if you don't know what you're doing then don't do it!

This solution might work for all huawei phones where:

1. The Oem-unlock is greyed out and NOT activated in Developer Options

2 .Bootloader is unlocked & FRP is locked.

3. You are on !!! STOCK !!!

Problem case:

Huawei P9 lite VNS-L31 on B380

Bootloader unlocked.

FRP Locked.

Fastboot commands fail with

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

except

fastboot oem get-bootinfo

and

fastboot devices

Solution:

Have ready your Unlock bootloader code from Huawei

Factory Reset your device. (Factory Reset implies removing Fingerprints and standard Factory Reset)

Reboot to fastboot ,in fastboot you should see:

Phone: unlocked

FRP: locked

Re-lock your bootloader and factory reset ( it will do it automatically)

fastboot oem relock *Here Huawei Code*

Reboot normally, skip everything

Activate Developer Options

Activate OEM unlocking from Dev Options

Reboot fastboot, now you should see:

Phone: locked

FRP: unlocked

Unlock bootloader again, it will factory reset again

fastboot oem unlock *Here Huawei Code*

Skip everything again

Reboot again to fastboot and flash recovery, now you will see:

Phone: unlocked

FRP: unlocked

fastboot flash recovery *imagename*

The OEM Unlock option now is greyed out and ACTIVE

Sucess!​

After a few hours of debugging and searching for answers I finally managed to flash TWRP, hope this helps.​
