[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csrredcoat:
Greetings!

My Sprint Nexus 6 hasn't been used in a couple years. I rooted it a long time ago and have an outdated custom rom on it. I wish to give it to my son who just broke his phone and would like to unroot and return to stock. I have been hitting walls as all the info and instructions I can find online are outdated with broken links etc. Does anyone know the easiest way to get it back to unrooted stock? Thank you in advance!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rondeau79:
You will need fastboot/adb drivers installed on a computer. Download the last factory image from Google for the Nexus 6(Shamu). Connect your phone to computer open a terminal and verify adb/fastboot is working. Boot into bootloader mode on the Nexus 6 and fastboot flash the latest factory image. Reboot when finished.

Hi guys, I have 2 more weeks of waiting until I can unlock my bootloader.

I don't even want to flash a new rom (since debloating MIUI 10 seems pretty fine to me) but I want to root it, therefor I need TWRP (also thinking about flashing the xiaomi.eu rom since I can update it via TWRP as well).

Long story short: what TWRP version is the current one (functional and not in chinease) since there is nothing available on twrp.me and I'm not really sure what's up.

Thank you so much for your reply! Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] AdRi_232:
You can use the one made by josalaito, you can find it in the ROMs section. Or you can use the one in the Xiaomi.EU official page. There's not much to choose from, to be honest.

I have downloaded several 'beta' recovery images. 2 different versions of wzsx150, OrangeFox and TWRP. None of them are working with 'fastboot boot recovery.img' After the successful upload, I get a redmi starting screen, nothing else. Is it working for you?

What happens if I upload a bad recovery. Do I have the possibility to overwrite it again with an other file? Does the stock ROM include the recovery?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] vkmcondor:
I tried ln team recovery but I just flashed it.I booted to recovery from fastboot(by holding vol up and power till Redmi logo appears than just the vol up button).

I changed the language to English,than went to Advanced tab.There you will find forceencrpt and dm verity disabler.Select both of them and swipe the confirm button.

After that I recommend keeping Magisk 19.0 zip on sd card or internal storage.Flash it and you are rooted.

Your whole data would be erased of course.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Shummy-:
Hello fellow Galaxy enthusiasts. Looking into doing some modifications to my S7 SM-G930U by installing an extended battery similar to the setup i hand in my old S4.

Would like to have the rear phone cover removable along with the battery. Thinking of molding a custom rear cover from epoxy to house the battery. I was never a fan of the glass back as it cracks easily and must always be covered to protect it. The S7 battery compartment measures 40mm w by 89mm h

Stock S7 Battery and the S7 Edge battery

[IMG="S7"]https://i.ibb.co/nLyvyLq/20190401-151742.jpg[/IMG]

The note 4 Battery is just to long

[IMG="Note 4"]https://i.ibb.co/brZGPXD/note-420190401-155205.jpg[/IMG]

the S5 battery came in pretty close measuring 42mm by 84mm I'm still digging around my phone junkyard to see if i can possible make a better match.

[IMG="S5"]https://i.ibb.co/XSGgzjK/s5-20190401-155220.jpg[/IMG]

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Shummy-:
Indeed but wouldn't be a total loss.... I bought the phone off eBay for $30 (screen has severe burn in) with the intention of modifying it.

[IMG="Burn in"]https://i.ibb.co/s9fCNQQ/20190402-131354.jpg[/IMG]

Besides, how boring would Mythbusters have been if they didn't modify/destroy things? lol

This morning I removed the connector from the S7 Edge battery

[IMG="s7 edge battery"]https://i.ibb.co/F4zZhkr/20190402-120158.jpg[/IMG]

Then hot glued the edge battery to the back of the stock S7 battery

[IMG="Stock s7 battery"]https://i.ibb.co/k2PqQdH/20190402-121108.jpg[/IMG]

I soldered the Edge battery to the S7 battery via positive to positive and then the negative to negative (parallel) before the stock S7 charging circuit and connector. I filled in the gap with hot glue... although not pretty it should keep everything snug

[IMG="6600mha battery?"]https://i.ibb.co/JnjdQ2h/20190402-130703.jpg[/IMG]

I offset the edge battery towards the middle of the phone as my next step is to make a custom rear cover.

She sits a little bit higher than my daily driver S7 on the left

Not to bad for a 6600mah battery? This is just a test run so far... Still looking into making the battery removable . Cheers

it is dangerous to put lithium batteries of different capacity in parallel without protection circuit in each of them there are overloads and over discharge in the lower capacity battery.

I've rooted PIE I'm sure I've flashed rmm bypass (but it was v2 ) but now I restarted phone It says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed " and "KG state:Prenormal " at DL mode I'm gonna Flash rom with Home_csc

THEN

Flashed with both CSC's It boots to a blue system update screen then at updating %32 it says erasing then boots to stucked boot.

EDIT: Maybe a solve: Did a wipe at native recovery now booted but I'm not sure about rebooting :/.

I'll wait 7 days before a reboot If this RMM (or KG with its new name) state turns off will I see OEM unlock option at Dev Settings or should I go to DL mode?

( Btw I hate Samsung WHY CANT I USE MY PHONE WITH ROOT )

1 more Edit : In dev settings I can see OEM lock its unlocked anyway I'll wait 7 days
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
To get past the 7day wait, turn off auto update system in developer options. Turn off auto date and time. Set date back 9days then go to software update and check for an update...after its done checking for update reboot. Go to software update check for update again it should say the date you set 9days ago. Go to developer options OEM unlock should be there and prenormal should be gone. I have done this numerous numerous tines and it works no 7day wait.

Sell Redmi 3 & Note 3 ? No Rom updates / 16GB memory full of apps, cannot move them

I'm thinking of selling my Redmi 3 and my daughters Redmi Note 3 both with only 2GB RAM & 16GB internal storage for a newer Redmi with 4GB/32GB

My 16GB ram is constantly full and I cannot move them to my SD card (tested many Move 2 SD apps, app manager,...)

In the past I flashed custom roms and now I have one of the officials again (= no option to move apps to SD built in).

I have following questions :

-What is the latest interesting custom rom / Android (Pie working yet?) is the latest working on a Redmi 3 or note 3, cause I only see old roms in the rom section here ?

-Is is really not possible to move apps to the sd-card, when I try Move 2 SD it get a message to go to storage, but there is no option built there to move them

-Which Redmi's do you recommend around €125-€150? (may also be secondhand) with 4GB/32GB ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tyow3ex:
you can move into sd card, but you have to be rooted first.

Hi, I've just finished update on my wife's Red mi 3.

Lineage OS 17.1 unofficial. Based on Android 10. I was able to format SD as adoptable memory, so phone free space after installation of all apps is around 7GB.

Performance is even better than original last official MIUI. WiFi is a bit slow, but no other problem for now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Mr_stickz:
So i am playing around with this device again.

Had it in my collection for a long time.

I can not get it to sync with WMDC or Activesyc. I tried on multiple pc's

Windows 10 with WMDC. It used to work according to a few google finds but that was on older windows 10 releases.

So i fired up an old XP laptop installed activesync 4.5 and whenever i try to connect the usb cable it gives me the message: This USB device is not recognized...

Can't find anything on this problem...

It used to work in the past when i loaded some games on it.

Now i can only install cab files which i send over using ftp.

But i need to install .exe via the pc connection.

I see this sub forum is quite dead. So hopefully someone sees this :P
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] torbengb:
What I have:

I have a Samsung J5 (2015) SM-500FN which ran out of storage and basically hung itself up. There is no data I want to recover, but I want to install either a stock ROM or (preferably) something else like Lineage - I just want to get a usable phone again.

My problem:

I have tried to download *many* stock ROM

s from reputable sources like SamMobile (for this specific phone, but trying different release dates and country codes) but every single one of those ZIPs is corrupt, even when downloading from a different computer.

Flashing with ODIN anyway gives a FAIL result and a device that cannot boot, not even into recovery: It gives a green screen with the text: `An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.`

Ironically, the Smart Switch software just says this device is not supported. The older Kies3 software lets me enter the exact model# followed by the serial# - but then it says this device is not supported. So neither Samsung software is usable, but I can still use ODIN.

Even with the phone in this broken state, I can install TWRP again. So it is not completely bricked. I boot into TWRP and copy a LineageOS ZIP file to /sdcard, but when I try to install that, the TRWP console says: `E3004: This package is for device j5nlte,j5nltexx; this device is .` Note how it doesn't appear to recognize that this device is indeed the model j5nlte!

Android.SE says that "E3004" means my TWRP is too old, but I use `twrp-3.1.1-1-j5nlte` which is currently the newest version for this phone.

I would also like to try a factory reset, but that requires the stock recovery which won't boot (see step 2 above).

My question: How do I get out of this catch-22?

It seems that if I could just get around that E3004 then I would be fine. But I have found no ways to trick the installer into ignoring that error.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
Flash an updated twrp .IMG file which you can extract from the file here j5nlte (TWRP)

Just flash the img in twrp and reboot to recovery

Then with the updated twrp try flashing the rom again
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] torbengb:
THANK YOU! This did the trick. May I ask: what is the origin of that TRWP image? How could I have found that on my own?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
No problem at all, glad all is working for you now. Happens all the time with people having the wrong recovery its no big deal but a lesson learned is always make a backup in twrp before going tinckering around with things or keep a copy of a rom, that you know works, on your SD card.

From the bootleggers pie rom thread.

The Dev of that also builds his own twrp for all j5 2015 models.

he's a really great guy to have supporting our j5 community
