[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandanforth1:
I'd like the data back but know that's pretty much impossible without the proper tools so I'm pretty much over that whole issue. At this point, it's more about getting root, recovery, and the ability to flash back so that I can get relatively good performance out of Shamu.

I installed KA but it indicated I didn't have root. I expected that but was worth checking. I'm familiar with some of the rooting apps out but for the reasons you pointed out, I'm hesitant with those. I'll probably do some research into that a bit more today.

As far as trying Flashify, I hadn't thought of that. I haven't used it in quite a while and can't remember if root is needed. Seems like it was though but I'll check.

I'll probably make a trip across town later to find my OTG cables and USB sticks later. Good chance I'll end up needing them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandanforth1:
Thought I'd check again to make sure no recovery was present. Turned off phone and held volume down and power but unfortunately, no recovery. Just booted right up. Oddly enough, it's still using an old MotoX boot animation I had installed a long time ago :confused: Weird how I lost everything else but somehow retained that.

I checked Flashify and it does require root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Volume down + power should take you to the bootloader where you can select recovery. Make sure to hold the volume down before holding power.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandanforth1:
I had tried that before because that's how I always accessed TWRP and I knew that the stock recovery should have been present if TWRP was not. The stock recovery is indeed present. I must not have been timing the volume and power button correctly :)

I tried checking the stock recovery out but it simply said "no command" or something similar after selecting it. I really don't have any experience with the stock recovery so that is probably normal I imagine. I would guess the command it was referring to would be via ADB.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
At the no command screen, I think it's hold volume up and tap power. Something like that.

Edit: that was backwards. Hold the power button, then press and release the Volume up button

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandanforth1:
What should that do? I've never heard of that I guess but I'll give it a try here shortly. Select recovery and at the no command screen, hold power and press the volume up and release it.

EDIT: OK, I haven't seen that menu in a long, long time. It had 8 or 10 different options. One that stuck out to me was installing an update via SD card.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Applying an update would supply to an incremental OTA. Not relevant in this situation.

I truly think you are stuck without a PC (ADB/Fastboot). If you have a Chromebook, there is a way to run ADB & Fastboot on that.

I believe that you can use another rooted Android phone/tablet instead of a PC. Install the adb+fastboot Magisk module, or download the plain files here:

That's a thought. I do have a Chromebook but its a really early model that won't run apps and has basically served as a paperweight. I'll try looking up ADB with Chromebook. Seems like I had tried checking into this a while back.

Hey guys

I found one HTC phone on the road with half broken LCD, the owner called on that number I told him LCD is broken if you want i can meet up and give back the phone, he said he dont want the phone and then blocked the sim card.

Now I just want to ask how do I find the model or imei number to get LCD changed so I can use it ?.

I tried searching Google but there is no information regarding this. The lcd is all black now. It can connect to a computer but there are no photos or any data.

I opened the back lid there are only some serial numbers.

Any info would be appreciated.

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] guglicap:
Hi there, I'm a little confused about how flashing a GSI works, can you use a filesystem like f2fs for example? Or does flashing work like the dd linux utility so you'll also flash the filesystem which comes with the image? Thanks.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Xplorer4x4:
You can use your choice of filesystems as long as the GSI supports it to the best of my knowledge. To my knowledge, the only thing similar to dd would be format data in twrp and even then it does not use dd. I dont think Android uses dd at all. It uses make_ext2fs from linux in regards to formatting to an EXT filesystem(by default you should be on EXT3 or EXT4 I believe, most likely EXT4). The program name may be slightly off but if your familiar with linux's dd then I suspect you know exactly what I am referring to.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] guglicap:
Yeah, gotcha. I suppose that "flashing" a GSI then is more like mounting the image and copying the contents than flashing as in copying byte by byte. Thanks.

The only think working is if i flash the TWRP then i can boot into recovery TWRP. thats it. i am at a point where i will pay anyone who can help me figure this out cause i almost lost all hope for this to work agian. So i really really hope someone here have an ide to what could work for me. every tip and trick i will test and if someone offer help via discord or somthing i would also be glad to hear from you.

Hi

Extract and flash bootload.img or hidden.img file from the main stock rom.

I'll check the actual file name for you when I get home later. Did experience that problem sometime back on my s6 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] reztanz:
Usually there is a small error message on the screen of the s9 if odin fails or stalls. It's small blue text, I have a feeling it's either 'magic string error' or 'SYSTEM not [Sec]' or close to it. I find this happens when flashing the wrong firmware for that model. Example, flashing G960N firmware for a G960F.

I just did a reflash and here are my exact steps for my G960F.

1. Download Odin 3.13.1

2. Make sure Samsung Drivers are installed

3. Grab the latest firmware for your device, my device is a G960F so I just picked the latest BRJ3 firmware with November patch from Updato. Just get the firmware for your exact model.

4. Extract the files from the ZIP file

5. Add all the correct BL, AP, CP and CSC files to odin.

6. Select nand erase

7. Boot S9 into download mode

8. Flash to phone.

Don't try to flash TWRP before installing the full firmwares and until the phone is setup.

If all fails, and because you seem to be able to install TWRP, then you can download TGP Kernel ROM and flash that. It is based on stock G960F firmware, has a nice aroma installer for selecting various things and tweaks. It also provides a clean install of Magisk if that's something you like.

Also be sure to flash no-DM Verify.

I have 2 different apps on my android phone, One is stock, which came with the phone, and the other is a 3rd party. the stock one uses verizon and the other uses 3rd party for yahoo. When I get an email, on my 3rd party yahoo account

i get the message and the ringtone so that one works perfectly. On the stock app (verizon/aol) i sometimes get the email and ringtone and sometimes I do not(mostly not).

Is this an issue with the phone or is with the stock app with AOL/verizon accout?

[General Questions and Answers] cosminroger:
Hello guys. I am having an issue with a Meizu E3 phone. I have received it from a friend a few days before he left the country. It has an issue that after it was booting, it was ending up at a black screen, although the light was coming to the panel. The only operation that I could've to perform was holding the power button and the power off and restart icons would show up. After a few attempts, I was able to update it and everything was back. Now my friend is out of the country so I asked him for the pin for the phone, but he doesn't remember it as he used the fingerprint all the time. And I cannot find a way to factory reset it. I cannot do the volume up/down + power combination because I don't have a wipe option. The only option available is to clear user data BUT it requires the pin ... I can get the phone in fastboot tho, but I couldn't reset from there either. Trying to reset the pin through google account is not going to work because I can't connect it to the internet (as you need the pin to turn the wifi on or the mobile data).

does any of you have an idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isaac34:
I understand if this is too broad a question, but on the off-chance there is at least a broad category of problems anyone could point me to...

I've had a problem with the phone after asking a third party file managing app to look for duplicate files (usually quite a long operation). It failed to complete, and since then nothing has been working on the phone and it keeps restarting. The weird thing is (or at least weird in my experience). It hasn't frozen or crashed. It's just that everything seems to be finding it hard to do anything. It's exactly the same in safe mode.

I turned on some developer tools (CPU indicator and notification for unresponsive apps). I don't really know what the CPU indicator is showing me (having no point of reference), but it spiked very quickly one time to cover almost the whole screen then calmed down to sit about a quarter along, so I'm presuming CPU usage is far from full. The unresponsive app notification is more telling as every minute or so a new app comes up with "... is not responding. Would you like to close it?". Basically everything is not responding.

I also tried checking running apps and cached processes, the third party app is not still running, just the usual set of background Google apps.

I can't do any USB debugging or software repair because "USB connectivity is not responding". I can't uninstall or re-install anything because "Settings is not responding" and "Google Play is not responding". I can't even use certain developer tools because many of those are "...not responding"

I realise this means I'm probably out of options, but before a factory reset (or the bin!) I'd just like to try and understand what could have happened. At least I could possibly avoid it next time.

Just to add - I've just done a Factory Reset. The problem is still there, apps don't respond, I can't uninstall anything, USB connection doesn't respond (or does respond but keeps dropping out) and after a while it will spontaneously restart. How on earth can one operation do this to a phone?
