[DOOGEE MIX  Questions & Answers] Fstop:
I read somewhere that software bricking Doogee Mix is often due to a corrupted preloader_hct6757_66_n.bin: Question I'm asking is: 1. Has anyone recovered by somehow reinstalling this file?

2. Are there any recovery processes for Bricked Doogee Mix that don't utilize SP Flash Tool?

3. How to deal with Battery Icon Coming on changing phone status while connecting USB Cable to Linux PC?

4. Has anyone used SP_Flash_Tool successfully on Slackware64-14.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EternalSaint:
First of all thank you for taking the time to read this. I've been struggling with this for a while and I hope we can resolve it somehow.

So here's what's been going on:

My Samsung S7 was an absolute mess for a few weeks, battery life was absolutely miserable (died 10 seconds after unplugging it from charger) but I just assumed it needed a battery replacement.

I've never attempted to root, flash or mess with my device in anyway, not after this issue has already occurred. One day I pull out my phone to check something and it's dead again, okay. nothing out of the usual.

I tried to turn it on and it would get stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried plugging it in and just leaving it and it would stay stuck on the Samsung logo forever. Please note at this point I have not tampered with my devices hardware or software yet.

I tried downloading odin and downloading stock ROMs from somewhere but that didn't work.

My phone is NOT rooted, USB debugging is NOT enabled.

The phone contains a lot of my stuff and I would prefer not to lose them. I was wondering if there was a way for me to retrieve my stuff before factory resetting it or throwing the thing away. The phone itself means nothing to me. I just want what's on it.

Any kind of help is appreciated, I really wanna get to the bottom of this. Thanks in advance to everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
How far into the Odin flash did you get? Because a stock flash still wipes data if you use all firmware files.

If you can get into recovery try the wipe cache partition option, this won't wipe any user data but might fight the boot issue.

If you can still get into download mode try flashing the BL and CP firmware files for your model/region/carrier/version and nothing else via Odin. Again flashing just these won't wipe, but may fix issues.

I'd recommend reading his guide before using Odin https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin

When downloading firmware I'd recommend using a firmware resource like updato, sammobile or here on xda

Without USB debug and root you're limited in the tricks you can do to get the phone in a state to transfer files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EternalSaint:
I'm not entirely sure how far I got. I followed a tutorial that said to flash the BL files but I'm not entirely sure if it worked or not considering my phone wasn't rooted/didn't have USB debugging and didn't restart or fix the issue. I got the files from updato. I've tried wiping the cache partition but that didn't seem to fix it. I haven't tried flashing any CP on there as I didn't know what that was but I will try to do that today.

Should I flash new BL files and try again, and what are CP files/where do I obtain them? Thank you so much for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
If you get the firmware from updato, or sammobile it should come with 5 files: AP, CP, BL, CSC and Home CSC all in one zip.

I would say try flashing CP and BL from the zip, and for Odin flashing you don't need USB debugging or root etc. You just need to be in download mode.

So try putting the CP and BL files into Odin and flashing, the newer version the better, but anything thats the same as your android version i.e. if you're on Nougat than any Nougat BL should work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EternalSaint:
So I got the firmware, the most recent I could find that matched my region/carrier etc. I ran it through Odin and it seemed to have worked. Odin said it passed and the phone restarted.

Then it showed that it was applying system updates or something. But then it stopped. It showed the android guy laying down and the words "No command" I tried figuring out how to resolve this but I couldn't find anything that could be done without having USB debugging already enabled. I can't think of anything else to try and I'm running out of options. If you have any more ideas I'd really appreciate it. It seems like such a waste to give up now when the phone is only soft-bricked and not completely useless.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Audrion2013:
Hello, as the title says I'm curious how much of a battery hog Google is. They have a mandatory service that tracks everything you do on your phone, even apps you open that have nothing to do with Google. You can pause it, but you can't remove it. Does anyone know the battery impact, how about those with no gapps on their phone is the battery a lot better?

Service in question: https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Listerine:
I don't play games on my phone, but I text a lot and use it to read news feeds and check email. I don't call too much nowadays, maybe a phone call or two during the day. I installed Hydrogen OS, the Chinese version of Oxygen OS, which is essentially the same ROM but without Google Play services. I usually use 20% per day, up to 35% maybe. I usually charge my battery to 75% and call it good.

I didn't really use the phone prior to changing the ROM, so I can't tell you a before and after. I can say however, that all the phones I've used without google play installed have lasted pretty damn long without charging it. My past experience with google play services is that I usually go through 60% a day, though that's not really fair comparison because those are different phones. I switched ROMs due to more of privacy concerns regarding google spyware installed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navioli:
So I recently got a Gear S2 for Christmas, and I also have a Samsung S4 Mini Plus (i9195i) running Lineage OS 15.1 (8.1), but obviously, Samsung doesn't like their devices being rooted and flashed with custom ROMs. Whenever I try to install Samsung Gear Manager from the Play Store, or any of the components for it, they all say they are incompatible with my device. So I went and looked for a solution. I eventually found this:

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-samsung-gear-app-android-n-samsung-t3547035

I attempted to install it, and all worked until I paired it. As soon as I paired it, it displayed "Gear S Plugin has stopped working." I have also tried this method on Lineage OS 14.1, but with the same result. So I kept on digging, and also found this:

https://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/help/gear-s2-gear-manager-touchwiz-romscm-rr-t3743138

So I attempted this, and basically bricked the ROM I was using. So then I got a fresh Lineage 15.1, and now I'm here again, trying to find something to do to fix this. I have tried almost everything I can think of or find with no luck. Can anyone help me?

I want to compile AOSP for it and not just root it. Have done it for my pixel but its easier with begin provided propitiatory blobs.

I found this other post on a similar device https://xdaforums.com/general/general/guide-rca-voyager-rct6873w42-unlock-t3582973

Got into fastboot via usb debugging adb reboot fastboot (There doesn't appear to be a button shortcut to boot into it so you may be SOL even if a rom does come out)

Successfully Unlocked the bootloader

Was able to get a root shell via booting the cwm recovery

Dumped the boot.img, recovery.img via CWM but system failed

Was able to dump system via dd command

Still new to ROM building trying to understand vendor trees and device trees for building an AOSP ROM for it, noticed the system doesn't have a /device folder so a lot of tutorials don't seam too helpful.

Flashing the CWM recovery image from the above link breaks the recovery, had to flash back to old recovery, my next steps are to try and modify the stock recovery to enable adb so if i bork system i can button boot to recovery and use adb to get to fastboot otherwise it will be bricked...

I realize this is an old post but I'm hoping you may be able to help me.

I just got this device and was wondering how you got the bootloader unlocked. When I try to select OEM unlock in settings it just jumps back to off. And fastboot flashing unlock gives me an error.

Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] darkvoxels:
Hi yeah it's been a while since I bricked mine.. still sitting on a shelf as brick.. If I remember correctly when you do the OEM unlock from fastboot it flashes very briefly the screen to the unlock with instructions and button combination. What I did was run the command while using my phone to record the screen so see the instructions, then I went back watched the video to see what they were

I then went back to fastboot got the command ready again got my fingers in position before hitting enter and just tried to be as fast about it as possible and it worked for me.

Thanks for the reply.

How did you do a record the screen? Is there such an option while in fastboot?

It's a signed image from Google... Signed images are accepted by the phone always.

The point of unlocking is to use unsigned images from developers other than google.

Hey guys. I have removed the paint from the glass back of my z5c. But all the adhesives i bought won't stay on (just like the stock ones). Where can i get really good quality adhesives to keep the back from popping off?

[IMG="Z5C Transparent Glass Back"]https://photos.app.goo.gl/8MN2CeWtsThjtn953[/IMG]
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobie81:
I think you need to heat the glue again to make it set. I would keep a bit of pressure on the back, like a book or something, after you've reheated it to ensure the glue sets in good contact with both surfaces.

But if all else fails I'd probably use a very thin bead of clear hardware silicone.

How did you get the paint off the glass?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
I have wasted around 3 brands of adhesives (all chinese) precut for z5c. Even the stock adhesive before I replaced it wont stay on. Could this be a design failure?

I havent tried to heat it and apply pressure yet. Might do that when my next batch of adhesives arrive. Do I leave it clamped overnight?

I just scratched/scraped it with a blade (cutter/knife) from the inside as it is also scratch proof. Other brands would have had a layer of plastic you could peel of but not this one. I just scraped everything off.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobie81:
I haven't replaced mine yet. Waiting for my new battery to arrive. I'm replacing the battery at the same time to ensure the old battery hasn't swelled and could be putting pressure on the glass. That might be your issue too.

But i plan to make sure all the old adhesive is gone, heat up the new back and adhesive well and leave it under a few heavy books at least overnight and maybe for a few days.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
I have also replaced my battery as well. Actually, the battery was the reason i have opened it, aside from the dust under the camera lens. my adhesive still hasn't arrived yet. I will definitely try putting pressure on it overnight and report here.
