[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recov] frosticus74:
the lag is because of the engboot. there are fixes to get it close to working.

there are fixes for the hotspot as well.

i hope to see more action here as well. its an old phone and the domestic bootloader is locked. i think these are the main reasons for the dead forum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recov] tamayo:
Yeah the boot is locked and can't install any custom roms, but I did it and it took me a little bit to find out but no lags or anything like that. ... I actually mixed to ways to do it from two forums. I'm posting the steps...

Do it at your own risk.

Disable Packages: (BK disable pro) Worth the money.

samsung dm phone interface = com.samsung.syncmlphoneif

samsung dm service = com.samsung.syncservice

securityLogAgent = com.samsung.android.securitylogagent

com.sec.android.soagent = software update

com.wssyncmldm = software update

open Odin and flash Eng.Boot then it will get into boot loop(if not skip to the next step) flash this after boot loop Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT

run root.bat floder "D:\S7\SM root\Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2\root.bat"

no fixing option not installing tweeks for root

Open Build.Prop with BuildProp Editor and change the following settings:

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000 to 310120

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon to sprint

ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon to sprint

Make sure you grant root permissions when it asks. You may have to try this twice. Reboot and LTE should stick

Download S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip to your internal or external

storage and install install FlashFire from the playstore.

Open FlashFire and let it acquire root access.

Click the + button at the bottom right corner then click on Flash ZIP or OTA.

Navigate and select the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip. file.

Leave the options alone and click the check in the top right. Scroll down to the bottom and click flash.

Your phone will reboot and flash the zip. This can take a while.

Go to Settings>Lock screen and security>Other security settings>Security policy updates and turn off "Automatic updates" and "Wi-Fi only". Reboot.

This seems to be the culprit of the 7 day soft brick.

So are you disabling those before you flash the boot tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recov] lvpre:
Yes, you have to disable those before flashing the eng boot file. It has been a while, but I think if you leave them enabled, your phone will boot and then reboot after a few seconds. Any reason why you want to root? There are a lot of non-root workarounds and your phone will be more stable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Brianmagoon:
I'm just one of the weird ones that likes to completely customize their phone lol. Boot animations, exposed, stuff like that. I am thinking about ordering a SM-G935U board for my phone because it looks like they actually got somewhere with that build. I'm a firm believer that if you own something, you should be able to do what you want with it. Samsung is becoming the Window's of the phone development world.

[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] BB23482:
Here's what i did.

Hi,

Me too lost my IMEI and stuff back in July. It took me 1~2d figuring out the solution but i finally recovered it, and so do many other members on xda. But the problem is i don't remember exact name of software which fixed it. (I was too overjoyed to have it back so i didn't noticed).

Here are some of the software i used-

IMEI &SN Writer V1.5.3

MauiMETA(IMEI)

SN_Write_Tool [MOST PROBABLY THIS WAS IT]

SP_META_V1.1720.00

IMEI by kustom Hackers

-----Message me if you cant find any particular software, I will upload it on my Gdrive for you.---

NOTE If nothing helped then you can go to this page-

Here i member fame can provide you nvram which can flashed to fix it. BUT BE CAREFUL, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR IMEI WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN SOME COUNTRIES! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN WILL. I too contacted him and he gave me nvram (which i lost of course) but i never used it. Kept it as a last option if i would've failed in case.

I have a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus, I've tried everything to fix the problem i have. Its stuck telling me i have to use smart switch to fix my phone. Ive tried using download mode and odin and restore stock firmware of both new and the same version of android that was on the phone before the issue (5.1.1). The internal storage got wiped, since this happened i was unable to boot the phone past this point. Any time i use odin it fails at the pit file when i try to use all 4 files to repair. Smart switch doesnt even see my device in the emergency recover, I'm at a lost of what i should do, there is nothing on the internet with the same problem i have. Ive tried reinstalling drivers that also doesnt work. Odin sees the device but cant do anything with it.

However, the app is keep crashed randomly every time I run the app. it is a matter of time, sometime it crash during navigation within the app, sometime during streaming LiveTV.

Anybody had same problem with me? Please let me know how to get rid of it. Is it crashed because of Fire TV stick have lower spec than Fire TV so that it can't handle Directv app? Does Fire TV handled it well?

Read them carefully, understand them and then proceed.

If you can not access MTP folder on your phone from TWRP just copy the files into a SD card, after flashing TWRP for OREO.

Hello yall.

I bought my Galaxy S7 from Sprint got it unlocked. Port it to Cricket and now I can't Update PRL, Update Profile, and it keeps telling me Activation Not Conplete. It also keeps trying to update Hands Free Activation with no success. I'm ignorant to all this phone stuff. I'm upset I paid for the phone and it seems Sprint will not fully release it. Like they knew I'd have issues with it. When I call them they tell me "Sorry call your new provider theres nothing we can do." The rest of it works i can make calls, text, & internet. But what am I gonna do when it comes to updating my phone. Is there some way I can remove all Sprint items from the phone and program it as a Cricket GS7? If not how do I go about updating it from now on? Please help. Thank you in advance. I've been reading for hours and learned 2 new words Root & Bloatware. Is that what I want to do and remove? And which ones do I remove. Thank you again.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Krishna10kk:
Change the Metering settings on the phone

I received my Infinix note 5 stylus today and had the same problem, with the fix below.

on the phone where you are trying to update via OTA.

>>Mobile Data

>>Data Usage

>>scroll to wifi data usage

Under "Network restrictions" you will have metered Wi-Fi netwoks.

You will see the hotspot name.

Change it from Automatic or metered to Non Metered.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dweekie:
8 hours of SOT is really good. You can try installing Wakelock Detector to get a different perspective. Also, anything that uses accessibility services may harm battery life. Another thing you can do is go to settings-permissions-autolaunch and disable autolaunching of apps that don't need to be running all the time. You can see what apps are currently running in settings - app management. One last thing is that your signal strength isn't that great, so it may just be how it's supposed to be.

Hi everyone,

I am using a Oneplus 3 A3000 China variance. It was shipped with Hydrogen OS.

So i have unlock it and managed to flash it to Oxygen OS, as i need to use google services.

Everything was working perfectly fine until a couple of months later. I saw that Oreo is out and thus decided to upgrade it.

Using official method with stock recovery, i have managed to upgrade to the latest OxygenOS 5.0 using the below link

Oneplus 3 OOS5.0

I have followed the guide closely. Then after it reboot, my phone is no longer having service.

It will show my network SINGTEL (No service)

I have read close to 50 forums before i decided to post and seek help.

My phone info

OnePlus 3 A3000

Oxygen OS 5.0

Android 8.0 Oreo

Kernel version 3.18.66

Build number A3000_16_171116

Baseband MPSS.TH.2.0.c.1.9-00102-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.99649.1.118107.1

Stock recovery

Non root

Fingerprint, camera wifi all works

Both imei are still shown

Here is what i have already tried which all fails on me

1) Verified that Sim is not faulty. Have tested with 3 different working sim cards and it all shows no service on both Sim 1 and Sim, but works on my other phone

2) Tried using only one sim card at a time for sim1 and repeat with sim 2, same result as above

3) Remove sim card, power on phone and boot fully, power off phone and insert sim card and power it on again

4) Reset to default access point. Copied all settings from another phone using same telco access point setting and ensure its the default sim for data and services

5) Using *#*#46463*3* and set preferred network type

6) On the same menu, disable mobile radio power and reboot

7) Perform factory reset from phone phone system setting

8) Redownload OOS5.0 and reflash rom using stock recovery

9) Relock bootloader

Any help is greatly welcome. Phone no longer have warranty so i can't head back to the service centre. :(

I got a c432B160 ss and I still only have a bad update and ive tried firmware finder, it does not work for me and neither does TWRP flashing how can Huawei screw up this bad with an update not not fix it when users simply cannot update without getting totally screwed by them.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] :
I sent a message to me regarding with the update issues (about ,5-6 weeks ago).

They said that if you obtain the bootloader unlock code, your phone can be detected and no longer receive updates.

My friend who took his bootloader code is stuck on marshmallow since a year, even checking the updater app and nothing.

He has VNS-L21, just like mine. I guess i was lucky when my motherboard was changed twice and had a new IMEI.

So just try to sabotage your phone by installing a corrupted firmware and lock your bootloader. Then go to the warranty and tell them that you received an update and you left it overnight with the charger plugged in. Profit.

Why would they believe? Some huawei devices have a change (3.5%) to have their software corrupted when updating their firmware (from MM to N)
