[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
I am getting Galaxy S7.

So it will be totally new phone. This means that I intend to factory reset and no worries about data loss, new phone. This should make the question easier to answer.

I considered:

Keeping Marshmallow

Updating to Nougat

Updating to new Oreo which is just released to S7

Requirements:

Maximum compatibility with permanent root with no issues

Maximum compatibility with xposed

Maximum compatibility with various xposed modules

Ability to have BLACK everything I want absolutely no white menus anywhere.

I am coming from Kitkat. If I had my way I would keep KitKat, unfortunately KitKat 4.4.2 is not available for S7.

One only real benefit I see besides super slowing down my device on the new versions, is that Nougat and up I believe has a blue light filter integrated? It would be super cool because this is an important feature. Currently I use Twilight blue light overlay, but if I could have a native filter (like f.lux for PC) it would hugely improve my user experience.

Maybe I will like newer features, but maybe not. I usually DISABLE tons of stuff including:

Disable fingerprint

Disable updates

Disable face recognize

etc, I don't want any of that invasive junk.

I also don't use Samsung Pay or any other junk.

I like maximum control over my device and I hate white and have to have all menus black. I did learn some newer versions of android OS actually have theming engines included where I can turn everything black, that will be very great for me. White menus physically hurt my eyes especially at night. It's painful to me and causes red eyes. So I must have all black menus.

I don't want any problems especially not audio or gps etc problems and I never want to enable fine location.

So I wondered if you know which is the best OS to use to meet my requirements with best root and xposed compatibility and no problems. Marshmallow, Nougat, or Oreo and what version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
Additionally, I am also open to any recommended custom ROM, if you have any suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
In further reading of threads I am getting worried. About to cancel my order and get refunded and give up on getting an S7 and just keeping my S5.

The reason I'm getting worried is because I am reading that US versions with Snapdragon processor G930V has a locked bootloader. I am unclear if I can root or not.

Advice would be helpful as I only just ordered and I am about to click cancel order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] landshark68:
From what I have read, you can root a G930V on Marshmallow and Nougat but not on the new Oreo build.

This guide is for Marshmallow:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

And I believe this one is for Nougat:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-rooted-s7-nougatand-fixed-lag-t3576393

But no TWRP or typical custom recoveries. Only flashfire and modified stock ROMs. I think I read that Xposed worked on Marshmallow but not Nougat. Not certain on that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
Well my S5 does have a custom recovery but is on stock rom, got full root when I downgraded to KitKat.

Thanks for letting me know it will probably be the same procedure. I did order it now. Going to try it. Hopefully, it works with full root,

Which OS+root is better, rooted Nougat or rooted Marshmallow (considering potential bugs)?

I think Nougat has a blue light filter built-in, is that right?

It may be a matter of opinion but I am open to hearing your opinions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
I received the phone today. It has this OS version G930VVRS4BRA1 which is 7.0 android I received the phone today. It has this OS version G930VVRS4BRA1

I don't know if I should change the OS or update OS or what or do for sure to be rooted

SOLUTION:

I had a magisk module that changed my DNS and that was messing with my MMS. Thanks [MENTION=2694397]masri1987[/MENTION]

I have been having some issues with my OP6. When I first got it, it refused to send MMS messages. I used the phone for a while and then I called tmobile and set up the APN correctly to the way they wanted it. After that, I started receiving notifications that I had a new MMS message but the phone refused to download them or send them. It would always give me an error. I got in touch with OnePlus's very mediocre support and they told me to factory reset my device since they couldn't do anything else. I went ahead and reset it and my MMS started working. Now 1 day later, they stopped coming in and sending again. I am getting the same errors as before. I really do not want to factory reset my phone every other day.

Anyone else here experience this and if so, how did you go about fixing it?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
Try to set APN to default settings.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
Tried it. Tried that, tried resetting network settings, and I tried switching between the default and the tmobile recommended APNs. Still issue persists. It only goes away on a factory reset.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] azsl1326:
What texting app are you using? I know I have had issues with MMS messages using Textra on T-Mobile. Have you tried a different app?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
I tried the default app and Pulse. Same thing either way
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] azsl1326:
Is it a specific error, or just states that it failed to send?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TechOut:
I didn't have to change any settings on my everything has been working with T-Mobile perfectly
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
Just the generic "MMS failed to download"

and "Sending failed. Will retry later"
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
Are you rooted/custom rom/kernel?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] azsl1326:
I really don't have any issues either with MMS and I am on T-Mobile. I am rooted, running xXx along with EX kernel.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] masri1987:
by any chance are you using magisk module that changes DNS settings? if so remove it. same thing happened to me....
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] oaklandbob:
This has been reported by many users on various devices for several years. It seems to occur most on unlocked OEM (not T-Mobile locked) devices.

So far, I have not had this issue with my OP6. I use the Mood app for SMS/MMS.

My OP6 replaced a Nexus 6 that I had for three years. It had sporadic but persistent problems with MMS until I ran across this page:

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

As I said I haven't had the MMS problem so far on my OP6 so I'm not sure if the above will solve your problem, but I hope so!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Rebel7022:
I had this problem , if I turned off WiFi & restarted the phone it worked, but I fixed it by setting APN PROTOCOL & APN ROAMING PROTOCOL to both ipv6 with WiFi working & I had the DNS crypt module enabled it worked. I uninstalled that module though and set APN PROTOCOL to ipv6 & APN ROAMING PROTOCOL to ipv4 & 6 & it worked again. I settled on ipv6 for both without the module. Any ways now I can send mms messages on T-Mobile
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
I love you
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] masri1987:
is that a marriage proposal?

and you are welcome, i obviously had the same issue. so glad i was able to help.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Rebel7022:
Not to get off topic, that means I'm definitely getting off topic ? what does dnscrypt proxy 2 magisk module actually do? Cause I was able to send mms messages with that module enabled if I set ipv6 to both options apn settings.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] masri1987:
question, does the one plus sms app allow us to send multiple mms at the same time? i can only send one at a time ..

8665105407

I'm finding that there's no phone call audio, either bluetooth or speakerphone, available when in the cradle. Therefore, it's kind of useless. Bluetooth turns on but there's no voice audio.

Anyone else tried this item?
[Touch CDMA Accessories] Delvorak:
I was thinking of trying that out... Disappointed to hear it doesn't work. Does ANY audio come out of the speaker?
[Touch CDMA Accessories] trehouse:
Yes, lots of audio is available going out. Works great with my GPS however there's a slight hum. It is pretty loud. It's great for my Exchange mail. On the downside it doesn't have a vol control, you have to use the vogue volume control. Also, it's a bit tight on the phone so when you get a call you have to take it out of the cradle and it's difficult to do. Nothing like the slick cradles Seideo sells.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.Ahmed79:
hello, i just bought a used note 4 (SM-N910F) today.

And when i went into the download mode to install latest stock firmware using Odin, i found that the product name is wrongly listed as SM-N910T3.

Eventhough the phone is shown as N910F on the box and in the settings menu too.

Anyways, i still went ahead and tried to put the latest firmware of n910f into it using odin and i got the error message - emmc write fail aboot.

I then came out of it and tried to factory reset it from the settings menu which then took me to the recovery menu for some reason instead and showed me various options including wipe factory data reset.

And below that i was getting this error message in red that "dm-verity verification failed"

I still went ahead and performed the wipe, during which i got the error message "e failed to mount/preload (no such file or directory".

After that i rebooted the phone and thankfully after waiting for 15+mins it booted up and seemed to have reset the phone.

But now I'm pretty sure the earlier owner messed up n installed the wrong firmware for it besides rooting it (as shown by the knox trip count).

So my question is, how do i install the correct firmware for it?

thanks for any help.. will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Your original model is SM-N910T3 thats Tmobile note 4 usa model not the N910F European model.

Your original.model is shown correct in download mode that's your motherboard model.

Probably its refurbished device with Modified software and box and sticker behind the battery just for looks like N910F international model because N910F has more value in market.

I personally had same experience before as you i bought N910F online and i found it was N910P sprint usa model in download mode.

Dont try to flash any N910F firmware your device may end up hard brick and completly useless

you can flash N910T3 firmware it will flash without errors.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retr00:
Hi,

I recently bought 5x for 15-20$ with bootloop thinking that I can fix it and well I did. Heated it up onec teared apart and then once it booted allowed for OEM unlocking and did everything step by step with the tutorial (first XDA article link that pops up after searching for "nexus 5x bootloop fix") flashed boot and modded twrp which couldn't flash any rom cause it was giving error 7 with statement that the package I was trying to instal is for "bullhead" and this device is " . " (yes dot, this device is dot). I tried flashing everything OEM from google's official tutorial and with 6 cores and normal TWRP it was able to flash official LineageOS 15.1 build 20180611 but when flashing gapps something went wrong instalation was aborted and device stared booting but stuck at bootanim. After that I flashed OEM once again and used program called "Unblod" , it builds 4 core version of boot.img based of boot.img from rom you want to flash. I obviously used OEM boot.img and once flashed this time without modded TWRP phone booted and everything seemd normal until it asked me to connect to WIFI because there was no network to be found. After skipping all of the first time boot steps tried to turn WIFI on but it just does not turn ( qs icon is not changing to "on" when tapped and in settings switches do but when I go to other section like bluetooth or whatever and back to main settings screen its of again. Tried to flash OEM 2 times building boot.img with unblod flashing vendor, and radio and nothing changes. So is there anything I can do or it looks like I might overheated something and it's causing WIFI not to work. Also my MAC adress shown by the device in settings is 02:00:00:00:00:00 which seems weird. My build number is OMP6.171019.030.B1. I hope it's in right section and sorry for my english if there was any mistake.

I flashed latest rom from:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/nexus-5x-bootloop-death-blod-andorid-t3683926

after that you gotta flash twrp. I used one from here

https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x-bootloop-fix-boot-phone/

because the one provided in the package with the boot.img from the first link didn't work for me (n5x didn't want to boot into recovery)

and afterwards boot into twrp and flash this: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

when all is done you should have wifi and sounds working.
[Moto 360 2015] karliyo:
It was previously just in a bootloop and didn't want to turn on the screen at all. Managed to somehow boot it up today and factory reset (AGAIN) and connected to my less used Google account just to be safe (less data to sync).

Previous problem I had is still there however. When I click the menu button even lightly (not holding down), it opens up Assistant. Voice commands haven't crashed the watch yet but if I click on Assistant settings or anything else, screen will turn black and it won't reboot. Only way to reboot it to place it on the charger and hold down the power button.

I also have a logcat from Bluetooth debugging. Log ends when watch shuts down after clicking anything on Assistant. Started logging right after startup and all I did was install some updates which took a while.

Nothing extraordinary at the bottom of the log stands out to me but I'm probably not as good as some of you at reading logs. There seems to be several errors occurring.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] nathanparr:
Can someone please help me

I have bricked my Huawei P10 and I am trying to recover it through Hwota, I have done this before and hwota saved me.

However, this time I flash TWRP using fast boot and i get the confirmation that it has flashed everything is okay but I can’t launch TWRP no matter what, I have tried every button combination tried fastboot boot recovery.img and that failed, I have flashed various different versions of TWRP and none work.

I just need this resolved and then I can unbrick.

Someone please help me :crying:

UPDATE:

Managed to send the device off to Huawei hoping that they wouldn't know I had unlocked the bootloader or rooted the device. I couldn't re-lock the bootloader so i was expecting to pay for the repair. I played dumb and said "i dont know why my phone wont boot up? it shut down and wont start again" they basically repaired the phone under warranty, replaced the main board with no questions asked and no hassle!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Swatto86:
Hi all,

I'm still a little unsure about the A and B slots and how it works.

If my device active slot is A with a custom ROM and permanent TWRP on it, then I flash another custom ROM and reboot to make my active slot B, and flash TWRP again will I have permanent TWRP on both slots at that point?

I understand that there is no recovery partition and recovery is included in the boot partition.....is the boot partition part of a custom ROM and therefore can a custom ROM include TWRP by default?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
with fastboot method u just boot to twrp (not flashing) when u install the TWRP installer zip, it installs to both partitions, so it does not matter which partition u are on or switch too, u will still have root until u flash a modified/stock/other boot img
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] b.huss2:
I get your question and it's a good one. I'm not here to give you answers but to expand a little based on some common knowledge. It does seem like (regarding you scenario) that you should have two working partitions at that point, just one a little behind the other. That's purely speculative on my part though because I really don't know what happens with the old active partition once the new one gets privilege. Maybe someone with more experience could come in. It seems to be basically like a dual boot setup, but I don't think that's actually how it works. If it did, we would be hearing more about dual booting and such.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] asimo_1:
Hello :)

So, some time ago I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp and rooted my S7, all was good but after a while I accidently disabled developer options while I was cleaning up my phone, then I rebooted my phone and it didn't start up anymore, I was aware that this could happen if I unchecked OEM unlocking, but I forgot that I disabled it

I was in a rush so I stayed up very late and i finally got my phone to boot up again, (by flashing a rom from {I forgot what the website is called with the official stock Samsung ROMs}) I had some keyboard problems etc but everything worked.

Now I've been using my phone normally for a while and everything works and didn't care that much but the settings are a bit messed up, like on the main settings menu/app I see Connections, but I also see WiFi and Bluetooth, I see Apps 2 times, and the descriptions don't match the actual setting. I also see some settings that I've never see before like 'T Roaming' if I open it the settings crash.

Also, I am on 7.0 nougat and Oreo just started rolling out ans I am unsure if I can get it, since I have modified my phone, and tried to get it to stock but I am unsure if I am actually completely stock.

TL;DR

My settings are ****ed up here are some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/NbNexZf

How do I fix it?

Can I still get OTA's?

Am I on stock firmware?

I can add some specs if needed

Thank you very much in advance!
