It hasn't got the needed hardware for that, there used to be an xposed module that could do it on marshmallow ROMs don't know about nougat.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Nicolfa:
It DOES have the hardware - the software is blocked internally by Xiaomi and so it does pick up the device and allows you to register it - it will not allow it to unlock the screen using the default screen unlock. The feature works just fine with Xiaomi supplied bluetooth devices. This is only the case with xiaomi chinese rom and xiaomi stable rom. Eu and Epic can unlock via smartlock feature just fine.

Hello, the same thing happened to me. Try using the manual on the following page ]ht tp://tickernel.org/how-to-unbrick-le-x626-red-light/ but the flashtool does not detect the terminal when trying to click on download does nothing. I do not know what to do...
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] joebah:
Okay, so I downloaded all three files "Windows+10_MTK+VCOM+USB+Preloader+Drivers.zip", "x620_flash_tool_androidbrick.7z" and "unbrick_tool_x626.zip" and extracted them. I tried the "How to fix le x626 undetected" step first given that none of this will work if the USB connection is not stable...

The problem is that because my PC keeps connecting and disconnecting from the X626, it's impossible to update my PC device driver as the instruction suggests. However, I noticed that under the Port section of device manager, each time the X626 tries to reconnect to the PC, the name of the driver changes. It cycles from "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android) (COM3)" to "MediaTek USB Port (COM4)" in an endless loop. It's almost like the phone can't make up its mind about which driver to use. I am wondering if my earlier failed attempt to flash TWRP onto the x626 had caused this issue (along with bricking my phone)?

If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. I'm fairly convinced that once the PC is able to connect, the unbricking process should be fairly straightforward!

I have some problem...
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Catani:
I've been through the same thing, soft bricked my phone the first day I got it :)) . Long story short...black screen , just the red light when connecting the usb cable and pc just basically didn't recognize it or kept disconnecting when it did. I've spent 2 days playing around with it and I can't remember where but there is a site and a youtube clip that explains how to unbrick. What worked for me was pressing the volume up or volume down (try both since I don't remember which worked) when connecting the cable to the phone in Flash Tool/Mtk tools .IKeep pressing the volume button until the download starts and you see the green bar loading. otherwise it will imediatly disconnect. I know I'm a little cryptic here but it's my first phone with an MTK chip so the whole flash process is new to me . I'm more used with the simple Qualcomm process. Hope this helps.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link but here it is.. http://tickernel.org/how-to-unbrick-le-x626-red-light/
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] joebah:
Hi - yes that's the site I am downloading the flashtool from. I pressed the volume +/- button and plugged in the phone after clicking on "Download" in the flash tool as you have suggested. It still disconnects and the download never happened - however the Flash tool gave me this this error message :

BROM ERROR : S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (0x3F5)

[COM] Failed to open COM port.

[HINT]:

Was this the same error you got from the Flash Tool when you tried plugging the phone when downloading? So you kept plugging it out and back in again until it worked right?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] joebah:
Okay, so It seems like different solution has different outcome for everyone. Instead of clicking download button on SP Flash Tool and plugging in the phone (which did not work), I did the opposite instead by plugging in the phone first and THEN immediately click download button on SP Flash Tool. Also, instead of holding down Vol - button I pressed it repeatedly (apparently someone claims that this confuses the SP Flash tool and sometimes it works). Then all of a sudden the flashing starts working :laugh:. However, the SP Flash tool bugged out after 10 seconds and told me the Flashing process failed :(, and I was back to square one. The odd thing is that when I tried replicating this method the flashing process won't start anymore (SP Flash tool just get hung up) - though at least the phone now connects to the PC USB permanently. ADB still tool doesn't work either. So I'll try deleting and reinstalling the device driver and tinker with this but it looks like the only way to resolve this is to try as many different things as possible. Will post again if I can find a solution but in the meanwhile if you have any other suggestions please let me know!
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Catani:
Yes. It was the same for me but eventually I got it. I can't remember exactly but I was swapping the volume button. I remember I kept pressing either volume up or down and the download went all the way. If you don't press the volume button you will constantly get those errors. It's trial and error...keep trying , eventually you will get it. Oh, and I was forgetting, you can also try to change the driver manually, you should have 3 drivers to choose from. Try all 3, because only one of them work.

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] joebah:
Okay, so after taking a break for a few days to clear my head and then coming back to this problem, I finally noticed what I did wrong. I used the wrong scatter files and .img file for all the steps! That's why the flashing process never completed!

So for the first part, the configuration is supposed to look like this:

Download Agent : \..\..\x620_flash_tool_androidbrick\secureboot\DA_BL_HIGH.bin

Scatter-Loading File: \..\..\LeEco_x620_SP_Rom.androidbrick\MT6797_Android_scatter.txt

Authentication File: \..\..\x620_flash_tool_androidbrick\secureboot\auth_sv5_letv.auth

Untick Boot and Recovery, and now I can flash the entire thing (Green okay sign) without even having to hold down the Vol - or + button! :D

Then for the memory step, I used the boot-verified.img in the downloaded folder LeEco_x620_SP_Rom.androidbrick, and write to 0xf900000, this time I pressed the Vol + button, and the writing works (Green okay sign)

For the second memory step, I used the recovery_stock_works _after_brick.img in the folder LeEco_x620_SP_Rom.androidbrick, and write to 0x8000. Once again, the writing works (Green okay sign)

I am not sure if I did the DA_BR.bin step correctly or not... but after doing this the screen came on when I tried to boot! I did have to charge it first as the battery was completely dead. However, like the tutorial said, the screen is 'mirrored' (ie, it's like holding the phone to a mirror and seeing everything backward - really weird). So I can't use the phone at this point - But hey, this is the first time in two weeks that I am no longer stuck on a black screen when I tried to power on the phone! Woo hoo!

I feel like I am getting close to fixing this phone now... will post if there is any new development. So excited! :fingers-crossed:

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] joebah:
Hi - please see the edited version of the original post where I made a detailed documentation of what I did to unbrick the phone. It's been extremely frustrating for me too and I got stuck in the flashing stage for almost three weeks - but if you try what I did I think you might be able to get the flashing work though the result is not always consistent (ie, you may have to attempt to flash several times and double/triple check everything as one minor error will immediately cause an error). It's a pain but don't give up yet! Happy new year! :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
Hi,

I am just looking for TW based ROMs that work with SafetyNet, preferably rooted with Magisk or unrooted. I have tried Magma VX1 on my G900S, that ROM is perfect, however there is a major lag upon a cold boot of the device, making it unusable, and the ROM itself is very very laggy and slow compared to stock AOSP ROMs. I am not hating on the ROM I think it is one of the best ports I have found for my device, it is just very hard to bear with because of the slowness and lag. So, what are my options?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
All TouchWiz ROMs will be less smoother than complete stock android. You can't have both :p And I've read that changing kernel on MagmaROM helps with the slow downs. Around Christmas they'll release VX3 so maybe you should wait for that. Try Magma + Boeffla Kernel. You won't find a better S8/Note8 ROM out there :D SkiesROM is also good but it's based on the A7 software so you'll miss out on some flagship features.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
Hi, thanks for your reply, can you link me to a Boeffla-Kernel port that works on G900S? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Not really but you can search around the official thread to see if it's working on the S: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-1-0-beta1-23-03-t3062073

If the S is the same as the F then it will work.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
I gave the official Boeffla Kernel for the G900F a go, I flashed it before flashing Magma and I chose do not install the kernel (kernel is preinstalled), however it didn't boot and it came up with Odin Mode and said Could Not Do Normal Boot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Try flashing the ROM first choosing a random kernel, then when it boots go back to TWRP to install the Boeffla kernel. I've actually seen Boeffla work on Magma on S5. Just it was the F model. Try this way and see then.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
So flash the kernel that works with the G900S, complete first boot, and once everything is set up and working go back into TWRP and flash Boeffla? I'll give it a go now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
It's worth a shot xd But if it still doesn't work then maybe this guy has edited Boeffla Kernel to work on Magma so your last bet would be to try from his attachments: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-magma-nx-rom-t3508672/post74246232

If nothing then it just won't work on the G900S, sadly :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
Nope sadly, I tried both methods and neither of them worked for me. :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Weird, here it says it's got the same hardware like mine: http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900s/specs/3026

Try some other kernel then. I'm out of ideas why it won't work :/ we both saw that user on Magma page got it working lol
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
Good news, I did manage to get it working using a Boeffla Kernel port that someone had ported for a Facebook group for Korean S5 Users, it's working now and it doesn't seem to be lagging anywhere near as much as it did before, it still does lag but I'm assuming that's just TouchWiz at it's finest ;) Hopefully I can still pass SafetyNet as I was able to before (really need it for Snapchat)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
If I have trouble getting Magma to boot on boeffla I'll ask you to attach that ported one haha glad it worked out.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gj4560:
Yeah sure, and thanks, but unfortunately I had to go back to Lineage, I found that the ROM is just too laggy for me to use on a daily basis, hopefully VX3 fixes most of the lag.

Hi!

/* ------ not up to date:

I am trying to reconstract ROM from my device according to the wiki entry http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom At stage build imgfs from dump and write files back in imgfs_raw_data.bin I have a problem - buildimgfs quits with unexpected error. I run WinXP SP2. I disconnected device after I have dumped ROM. Version of the device firmware:

R 1.58.21.23

D 1.24.00.00

All files are in the same folder!

Actually I do not find info about what "D" means. But this is another topic.

My primary question is what can be wrong with buildimgfs or in other words - what I am doing wrong?

Looking forward to get any answers!

Well, it seems I did it. With help of Kaiser Kitchem ROM. But I still have some questions. Maybe someone can clarify it to me..

1) HTC ROM Tool does not has Polaris in its device list. So I used Kaiser (cause there are quite a lot posts saying Kaiser is the same as Polaris) and left all fields like model ID, language e.t.c. unmodified. Is it crucial?

2) As I understand I have dumped only OS and branded things(?) (I have Xda ordbit 2. What is about Radio ROM?

I did reconstruct the ROM, but I didn't try it ;) For me it was something like psyhological barrier - to have a backup if everything goes wrong.

I do agree, that this community will gain a lot if somebody will really try reconstucted ROM. Seems that nobody has done it. =(( Or they just do not reveal their knowledge.

I'm not sure where to put this thread but I put it hear. Earlier this year, around September Snapchat released this feature called sky filters which basically uses augmented reality using your primary camera. There's this feature called sky filters which changes the look of the sky. Peppr I know with s7 edges, s8s and iPhones have been able to get the filter to work. On the other hand, I have signed out of the beta, reinstalled the app, rebooted and performed a factory reset and I still don't have any luck. Is this because the g5 plus doesn't have the camera 2 API or is it because I'm on the stock 32 bit room(with an unlocked bootloader). This is frustrating for me. Should I flashing a 64 bit rom and try again because I have heard that moto phones have a stock 32 bit rom. Thanks :).

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] chaco81:
will it work? Yes, since i did that

Now, i am experiencing some apps constantly crashing, and i dont know if its because of it... or if its just incompatibility of 8.1 with apps that arent updated.

Gmail, Google App, Play Games, Calendar, Newstand, Wunderground, G Docs&Sheets have issues retreiving data....

So i am debating wether or not to wipe the device and start with a fresh image to see if it helps... im trying to find if this is a known issue before i do....

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Do it, I did it that way. Most folks have. Could there be an issue...yea, maybe but I doubt it. If it goes bad you just do it again with the -w in there. But it won't.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
First time I flashed 8.1 I was in the same mindset as you. I removed "-w" from the script and flashed the preview a few weeks back. My SystemUI crashed upon first boot and got an error screen stating one of my partitions had been corrupted. Only way to save the phone was a factory reset.

Due to this, I will never dirty flash again. Additionally, I'll never recommend it to anyone else either. I did it out of laziness.

If you don't have it already, i highly recommend to back up your apps with Titanium Backup. I personally purchased the pro version. I then use an app (free from store) called "Z Archiver." In my opinion, it's the best zip/Archiver app available.

Using z archiver, I select all the folders I want to back up on my SD card. I conveniently zip them all together in one zip file on my SD card. Typically, I'll include my TiBu folder, DCIM (photos) folder, and various other files/mods I have on my SD card that I wish to keep. I use ADB to pull it from my phone onto my PC. After I flash the factory images, root, kernel etc and get my phone set up, I then use adb to push the backup archive file back to my SD card. From there, I unzip it and restore all my apps with TiBu. Replace my DCIM folder so I have all my photos back as well. It really only adds a few extra minutes into the update process but you can have peace of mind you did it the right way.

Hello,

My name is József from Hungary. I like to deal with programming android phone. But I am an unprofessional and I am beginner in it.

I would like to ask a question and to know what are opinion of professionals programmer, if it is possible......

So I have written a program about 4 years before for android with tcp socket. It is connecting a java server. It was written for android 4.2.1. Everything went well on 4.2.1 and android 5 (Lollipop). Than I bought a phone with nougat operation system. In this phone my program is running too and to receive datas from java server. But unfortunatelly there is a problem with data transfer. It seems that this phone do not send the datas in tcp socket to server. I try it more phones (Xiaomi RedMe Note 4, OnePlus 5T). I do not understand why. What I have to change in my program that it runs in my phone with nougat system What was changed in operation system in nougat?

It is my problem.......

I will be thankful if you give me some tips to solve it.
