[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thexandrew:
Tested on: i9300 (S3 int). May work on other versions.

I have tried everything that you can find in xda-developers, Google and Youtube. None of these worked. After deleting/wiping my EFS folder multiple times and having absolutely no backup, here is what I did to revive my S3:

Short:

Install stock 4.3 ROM, flashed modified Modem and then Kernel. That's all.

Detailed:

Make a back-up of the data you don't want to lose.

Hold Volume Down + HOME + Power to get into Download mode.

Flash latest TWRP recovery via Odin. Exit Odin.

Hold Volume UP + HOME + Power to get into recovery.

Swipe to allow modifications. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage. Swipe to Wipe.

Go to recovery home. Reboot -> Power Off.

Hold Volume Down + HOME + Power to get into Download mode.

Go to sammobile [link here] and download a 4.3 stock firmware.

Flash firmware (ends with *.tar.md5) with AP button. (This will take a while).

The phone will reboot when finished flashing. If it takes more than 10 minutes, get into stock recovery and wipe cache and restart.

Download this Modem and Kernel: *[link or attachment here] .

Connect phone to PC and transfer the downloaded Modem and Kernel.

Hold Volume Down + HOME + Power to get into Download mode.

Flash TWRP recovery via Odin. Exit Odin.

Hold Volume UP + HOME + Power to get into recovery.

Install -> Install Modem.

Go back -> Install -> Install Kernel.

Done! Now you can wipe everything and install whatever ROM you like.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] S.V.I:
I found an oem sys folder with a new build from the kaiser forum and I would like to port it to my wizard. this thing is barely a system as it has 0 apps.

So my question is this:

I have the SYS + ROM folders from this build

How do I modify this rom so that it boots?

I tried to use HyperCore and had an imfg error... (I should mention that this thing is only 38mb)

Should I use imfg's from another build?

Better yet; Is there a cooking and porting for dummies tutorial out there that I can use to successfuly dump a kaiser rom os and make it work on a wizard?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Daruwalla:
I waited too long for the 6GB variant but my patience is at the end now. I recently got the Real Me 1 6GB/128 and that phone is pure bull**** in terms of software (kinda love stock os), crappy iOS looks, bad features like can't see battery sot, no unlock bootloader option for OPPO phones etc. I returned it back to Amazon.

I'm still waiting for the 6GB variant, I already had Redmi Note 5 pro so I wouldn't get that same device again, tired of miui and flashing roms so gave it to my bro.

Should I wait or get the 4GB? 6GB phone launch timeline was Mid June but I don't see it in next sale too. I know nobody knows that in real but I'm desperate to get a new phone. Help or suggestions please? Next phone is Mi A2 which will also be stock Android but no idea when it will be released.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] kewlest22:
I'm waiting too for the 6gb variant, read somewhere that they started production of the 6gb variant after announcing it, so I guess will take a while, I'm going for the 4gb variant this Thursday because can't wait any longer now!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Daruwalla:
I think I can't wait anymore too. I'm sure I'll regret getting the 4GB model and later will get the 6GB at a loss of selling the older one. Still trying to control myself.

I wish we had more such phones on stock Android.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] kewlest22:
agreed, I'd have taken realme1 in a heartbeat had it have unlockable bootloader or stock android out of the box.

I too know I'll regret not going for the high end model because the processor is weak and I'm coming from a snapdragon 820 so it'll feel slow for sure, atleast 6gb ram would be a good thing if I could get it
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Daruwalla:
Let's hope we could get one each in the upcoming sale. Good luck. :)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] mehtasu:
Wait for the 6GB version. I have a 3 GB version and am regretting the buy. The software is down right pathetic and buggy. There are stutters all over,its super laggy. I mean, its to the point of being disgusting. The cameras are beyond pathetic. I heard they have a different module on the 6gb version. Also the battery is crappy. The launcher is ****load of crap. And their official forum "zentalk" is well....crap!! I mean, spend your money some where else if you can or wait for the release of Lenovo z5 or Mi8 SE. Telling you guys, dont buy this piece of junk.

Also, My main driver is the OP6, so I suppose this brick's performance comes out even ****tier. Sad part is cashify does not give on offer for this paper weight and for selling on ebay, you require GSTIN. My two cents......Stay away from ASUS only.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] spunxhoe:
That's a very strong review of the phone. I have been using it for more than a month ago and while it doesn't compare to the fastness and quality of the OP6, the Zenfone Pro M1 is a remarkable phone.. The software is definitely not buggy or lagging, the cameras are definitely good in this price range (maybe the front camera is not upto the mark), battery is defintely good giving about 10 hours SOT/2days moderate use. ZENtalk is definitely crap - that's why we have XDA and the launcher can always be replaced with NOVA or LAWNCHAIR. Either you have got a defective phone or you are just trying to bad mouth a very good value for money phone.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] mehtasu:
Stop being a fanboy, no good comes out of such an attitude. And stop making these insinuations. If you don't agree then say so and leave it at that. Now coming back to the point.Its not remarkable, its down right pathetic. It stutters everywhere except the App drawer. Gosh even the dialer stutters. The google cards stutter,Facebook....don't even get me started on that. Cameras are pathetic and nothing can improve that situation, not even GCAM. It can certainly make it it better but to a limited extent. The battery is not optomized at all. SOT is around 7-8 hours on avg, but the question, that quite pathetic from a 5000 Mah battery. Finger print and Face Unlock is also pathetic and it speaks volume that they had to release three updates to make it work and still can't get them to work properly. My two cent. take it or leave it.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] mehtasu:
Well, sadly all these review are worthless. They are more concerned about opening the app rather than the experience while using the APP. There is lag and stutter everywhere from the dialer, to google cards to facebook. Everything lags and its horrendous. Anyways, I know how to put in place people who are results of worthless procreation between individuals who were clearly not thinking properly at the time. :). Cheers!!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Xain121:
can you please at least record it when it stutters?

i dont have any stutters problem when using facebook and dialer (and other apps too)

and i dont think its laggy

maybe you have a deffect phone?

sorry for my bad english
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Daruwalla:
I think the same, it seems they just fake promised the 6GB model. Anyway, I got Redmi Note 5 pro in the meantime back from my cousin ( just unlocked the bootloader and will flash custom rom to get rid of MIUI) will use it till Asus releases the 6GB version if EVER in future. I think I will be old, get married and couple of kids waiting for this phone.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Daruwalla:
Don't blame Asus, blame Android. Even my Google pixel 2 XL sometimes take blind pictures cause of ram issues or reload apps. I can feel your pain, anything below 4GB ram is unacceptable in today's standard. That's one of the reason I'm waiting for 6GB variant.

I'm actually sold for a 15k phone with near about stock Android. If there's Mi A2 by Xiaomi before Asus releasing it, I will forget Asus and buy that phone.

Hi everyone.

Recently my redmi note 3 turned off and cant turn on again. When im putting on charge or plugging in pc it starting to blink red led. PC recognizes is as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Tried to flash via Miflash tool and QPST, the flashing was successfull in both programmes, but when im tryin to turn on there is no result. I've tried deep flash cable and test point, no success. Does this mean some hardware damage?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Leviper01:
Hello everyone. I have a SM-G935A with build MMB29M.G935AUCS4APK1 and all basic updates of November 2016. I am going to use it on TMobile. I don't want to just unlock it for the SIM card. I want to be able to use all TMobile official software in order to get OTA updates and all TMobile's network functions.

I read the thread of 2016 and March 2017. But, it is not working for me. Do I need to manually update each of the previous updates so I can complete the task? If so, any good links? Or, does anyone know the best and most simple way to get this done? Am I asking for something that is possible?

Thank you guys. I'm trying to get this done to give this S7 Edge to my mother. I tried to get updates directly from ATT but they referred me to Samsung. Samsung did not help and referred me back to ATT. So, doing that, at least, proper did not work.

Hello

A while ago, I tried to root my Essential Phone using magisk. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, but when I tried to install the magisk zip file, it failed, and I was stuck in a bootloop.

Easy problem to solve right? I wiped everything from my phone (including the ROM), downloaded a stock ROM (.ZIP file, and I think that’s what ****ed everything up) and when I tried to install it, it failed once again. Therefore, I downloaded another stock ROM file (this time as a .img file) and tried to installed it.

But what I ended up doing, was installing some other .img file as the boot image (on twrp), and after that, my phone kept restarting endlessly. I couldn’t access the recovery mode (if I tried to press the vol down + start buttons, or just the start button, the process would repeat, so I leaved my phone there until it run out of battery, now its off).

I was despaired and tried to search every inch of the internet for a solution, and obviously, I could not find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your attention.

[MOD][MAGISK] Enable live wall papers for stock Rom

Tested on stock rom v309

Instructions:

Magisk:

1. Download and flash in Magisk (through app or twrp)

2. Reboot

Non magisk - easy to figure out from the folder structure

How to test:

Download Muzei and activate

Or download google wallpaper from play store and try the daily wallpaper option

Or try the Pixel 2017 wallpapers by pranav pandey

PS: first time it may crash (probably due to no default live wall paper i guess) but try Muzei it will work fine.

Cheers and enjoy
