Try flashing another kernel like quasar and if it still doesn't boot probably the software.You could try flashing another rom to see if it boots if quasar doesnt boot it.Failing that you probably need to install firmware again with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nkewk:
Hey, i have some questions on how to use odin on Mac, is it even possible to use odin on Mac without using VMware or similar?

Is it possible to root from the phone with latest stock firmware (Swedish VDS, CSC) and stock recovery?

Thanks in advanced

If your looking for free version go for Oracle's virtual box they do the job

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leckrer:
Hey guys, i'm about to give up on this Z2 - it might be a hardware issue but the software is missing the /persist folder on EVERY clean install. Wanna check that before giving up.

Basically, i got a Z2 on 23.5.A.1.291 6.0.1 next to me. Turning Wi-Fi and BT on does nothing and MAC shows 02:00:00:00:00. I tried to fix it the past 5-6 hours and i am out of ideas.

What i tried so far:

1) Installing Carbon ROM 8.1.0 along with TWRP 3.2 and SU 2.82 --> didn't fix the problem but i read in xda alot and found out it could be driver problem and missing files in /persist folder.

Turns out i don't have this folder on the Z2. Compared with my Oneplus One which has this folder. They are both Snapdragon 801.

Creating the folder does not help as it just gets deleted when the phone is rebooting (which is normal to my understanding).

2) Finding out whether i even have a /persist partition on the phone.

Didn't work as i could not get adb shell nor Android Terminal to give me proper root access. Again no problem on my OPO (just for personal comparison)

3) Tried to flash stock FTF 23.5.A.1.291 with flashtools again.

Did not work as the phone was not recognized as Xperia Z2 after updating to Carbon ROM 8.1.

4) Use Emma to install 6.0.1 again --> this worked but it would only allow me to install an older Version of 6.0.1 which had no Wi-Fi functioning as well.

5) Tried flashtool again to go to my local 23.5.A.1.291 --> after being on the "older stock 6.0.1" it allowed me to do that, again no Wi-Fi.

Now i can't check for the /persist folder since root is not installed as i am back to Stock 23.5.A.1.291 with unlocked BL.

Any ideas on how to get the stupid driver installed? It drives me nuts. Every flashing process went perfectly fine with no sign of a failing /persist partition or anything.

Same issue here i guess: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/help/bluetooth-wifi-problem-stock-mm-n-o-rom-t3750689

The funny thing is that the radio, sensors and everything else works perfectly fine (4G).
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredrickz:
The wifi module bcmdhd.ko is located in system/lib/modules. It should be around 665kb.

The firmware location is system/etc/firmwares/wlan/bcmdhd which contain 3 files.

If you want root you can prepare a prerooted ftf and flash it with flashtool.

If the above files are intact and have required permission 644 then the hw could be the culprit.

I don't have the persist folder on my Z2 running 23.5.A.1.291.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dash_k:
No such file here :confused::confused:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredrickz:
To see those files you need to have root permissions.

First root your phone using prerooted firmware, flash it and use a root browser. When you install the stock rooted firmware those files will be copied from system.sin. Let me know after rooting.

Just make sure you flash the system partition. It will automatically install the drivers. Also flash the stock kernel.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarunvarma191o:
Hi,

I was using S6 edge from almost 2 years and I rooted it after 1st year of use.

I installed many roms including few stock roms and changed many recovery modes using ODIN. I was using TWRP recovery for many days. I used to wipe all the data( including internal storage ) from recovery mode itself which wipes out the custom rom too. After wiping out, the phone usually boots to recovery mode as it is the only thing present on it and the system detects it as a USB storage which allows me to copy a new rom on to the internal storage of phone.

I did the same thing now and wiped out all the data using TWRP recovery, and after that phone boots to recovery mode as usual. But this time system is not detecting the phone's storage and so I tried to install a stock rom using ODIN. Then to my surprise, ODIN also doesn't recognize the phone this time. I tried to disconnect and connect again, it says 'USB device not recognized'.

I was using the same USB drivers from almost a year and still, I tried to uninstall and re-install the USB drivers, the problem remains the same.

I am not sure what to do here as ODIN itself is not detecting. I tried all USB ports with different cables, but not use.

Can anyone suggest me a fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

I just rooted my GT-N5110 and used TWRP to install lineage-14.1-20181006-nightly-n5110-signed.zip from the SD card. Installation worked fine, but booting does not. I get stuck on the curved Lineage logo. I read that it can take a while to boot, but after two hours it's still the same.

I can still reset and boot to TWRP.

What can I try next?

Update:

I cleared the cache via TWRP and Lineage is booting fine now. Took me really a long time to get Lineage install. If you plan to install Linage, root and install TWRP first.

Hey Guys, i just got my new Mecool M8S Pro L LB Box.

Before i start, could someone confirm that i got every right before i mess it up? :p

- There are no Custom Roms for the LB-Version.

- However, it is safe to install TWRP (same Version as for the 'non-LB' Version) via SD-Card/Usb

- Installing latest Magisk via TWRP is safe as well

As i only found Posts with People messed their LB Box with Custom Roms, but no Thread confirming that TWRP/Magisk itself is safe, i wanted to make sure i wont run into Troubles...

Good morning all,

I am on the first version of android 9 and would really like to update because of many bugs. I have root and FlashKernel that I installed by temp booting to TWRP (without install). That seems to have broken my OTA. What is a safe way to update to the latest version of the OTA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Either temp boot into twrp again and flash the latest OTA zip, or, fastboot the factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file. Neither will wipe your data. Always a good idea as well to backup all your data before you begin, and to remove screen lock security and substratum themes so as not to have any unwanted problems :good:

[General Questions and Answers] tiggy49:
Hi guys,

I’ve been an iOS user for the best part the last 10 years but for the last 4 I’ve decided to stick with my iPhone 6 as I haven’t found any of the newer iPhones worth upgrading to. The new gen of iPhones still doesn’t really appeal to me. Although I wouldn’t say the cost Ian prohibitive I don’t think I can justify £1k for a phone. Also I like my headphone jack!

So comes my journey to explore Android. I have used android and so I’m not unfamiliar but as my phone is my main device (read ‘life’!) I need to ensure everything is set before/if I move.

So enough with the intro. My first steps in the journey and what I haven’t been able to fully wrap my head around is backups.

Currently I don’t use any cloud based backups and would like to stay away from them if possible.

I currently backup my phone to iTunes either manually or over WiFi. This has made my life easier as I have peace of mind when it comes to breaking or losing my phone. I have at the odd time had to restore from my backup and I like knowing everything is restored how it was as left including when I upgrade my phone.

I’m aware my initial change maybe slightly painful but after the big switch I would like to be upgrade/switch phones (and possibly change brands) on a whim and my data switching to be fairly straight forward. For example should my phone get lost, stolen or damaged what are my options to restore to a different phone and take all my app data etc with me.

My googling has given me a few leads such as helium backup, titanium, nandroid backups but I’m unsure if there is a better solution.

I’m thinking about switching to an S9 or P20 pro.

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] br54:
Just download the Google play apk off a trusted site (i.e xda). Then the other apps off Google play.. Unless the update wipes data.. No you do not have to reinstall.

If you do have a system wipe, just keep Google play apk on your ex SD card.

Enjoy

Thanks for you reply, much appreciated, I was wondering however do i need to also install google framework, services etc, as i a have read simply installing play store on a Chinese version is not enough and a number of google installers exist like gms core, however there seems to be a number of people complaining of compatibility problems therefor i was wondering if when my phone comes, i would have major probs installing google apps.

initially i was simply hoping to flash a official stock eu rom, however someone on this forum said that would void warranty, which i was surprised because coming from back to back Samsungs, flashing a stock ROM of another region was not a problem as it was official.

thanks
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] br54:
There I believe if you download those APK.. All that will be included

Like Facebook.. It's all included

You will have to install Google games or other Google related stuff individually... If something is needed Google will tell you, then just go to play and install.

My pleasure to help... Let me know if you need further assistance.

As for honors warranty policy... That's their call, I myself come from a long line of Samsung's.

Yes they are more flash friendly.

Other than that..idk

Good luck cheers
