Phone cant boot into recovery? tried everything...

Hi I have a rooted Z1 Compact with locked bootloader and xz dual recovery which I installed lollipop 5.1.1 on through twrp yesterday. Everything works fine the only problem is I'm completely unable to boot into recovery... any recovery. I've tried all combinations of buttons, downloaded quick root and tried to boot into recovery through ndr utils, rom and twrp manager but nothing works.. It just reboots as normal after hanging a little on the opening graphics. My volume buttons work fine, however when I boot up my phone where the led used to light up I noticed it isn't lighting up (although it is for texts/charging etc). Has anyone got any advice? I really need to get into recovery...

Deleted everything - how to copy ROM on internal storage???

Hello.

I wiped everything. Also internal storage. Now the device don`t want to boot. I tried to copy a rom on internal storage but I dont even have access on it. I can boot in TWRP. I tried mount but cant activate USB Storage.

How can I copy a ROM on internal storage? Can anyone please help me?

Is there an IMG Rom that I can flash per fastboot?

Thank you...

HTC one s,music, pics everything gone, but shows in CWM recovery?!?

Hi,

I have an HTC one s (S4) and I need some desperate help! My phone is Rooted and runnning CWM v6.0.5.1.

Basically, last night I had the device's bootloader as "Unlocked" and working fine on cm11 (snapshot-M12). By stupidly trying to get the stock version of my phone, I ran an ruu (3.16.4.....) which, by first, I did the "fastboot oem unlock" command, which relocked my device.

Getting stock didn't work (maybe because my image was 3.16.1....?) so my phone got stuck, constantly showing the black "htc" logo screen.

So I unlocked my bootloader again through htcdev and everything seemed fine, so I thought, while i'm at it, I might as well try a different rom because I missed sense so much (hence why I tried to go back to stock), so I flashed the MaximusHD 10.0.0 rom.

Here the problem arises. I flashed the rom, everything went perfectly fine, until I went into my gallery and seen that ALL of my pictures were completely gone! Even whatsapp pics, so now my gallery was completely empty!
The rom came with ES file explorer, so I opened that app and seen EVERYTHING was gone!!:(:(:( Backups, pictures, music files, custom roms, everything! I even clicked "show hidden files" but no luck.

So I boot into recovery, go to install from zip/sd card, and everything is there! well, all the folders are there anyway. Even my old cm11 rom and gapps are there, but after I tried flashing cm11 again, I got a blank screen, when the Cyanogenmod logo is meant to show. So i went back to MaximusHD rom, and still, nothing in my gallery and file explorer shows, but it's still there in recovery?

So I connect my phone to my computer but still, nothing is there. However, when I go into settings, apps, I see that my storage is 14 out of 16gb. Weird.

so,so sorry about the long post, but I thought I'd give as much info as possible, because I had a lot of stuff that I can't seemingly attain! Is there any way possible to re-attain all my photos, backups etc?

Thanks !:):):)

Accidently deleted everything in recovery, now nothing really works anymore

Hey,

so as the title states I have accidently deleted everything while i was in recovery.
My Bootloader and Recovery still work, i was also able to access my phone via fastboot and partly via adb (adb only while i was in recovery, sideload did not work though).
I was not able to flash any firmware, rom, or anything like that.
My version-main output in fastboot is also empty.
Here is a screen of my fastboot -getvar output:

Code:

I kinda figured it has something to do with the empy main version, but i didnt get anything really out of there.
Another (maybe?) problem is that phone is from telekom germany, and kind of locked.


How do I get my phone working again?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Samsung Pay Q&A - Everything you need to know

Hello fellow xda members. Looking around the forums, I noticed many questions posted regarding Samsung pay, so I will create this thread to keep all information and questions regarding Samsung Pay in one location, rather than spread across different threads.

The following are questions that I have seen the most, with simple answers that keep being asked time after time. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

1) Q: Will samsung pay work with root?

A:

Quote:

No, not at the moment.

2) Q: I am rooted, can I unroot and use Samsung pay?

A:

Quote:

If you used a method to root which did not trip your Knox counter, yes.

3) Q: My Knox counter is tripped, can I use Samsung Pay?

A:

Quote:

No. Samsung Pay will currently not work with devices that have Knox tripped.

4) Q: I have tripped Knox, can I restore stock firmware and reset the counter?

A:

Quote:

No, there is no way to reset the counter. Sorry to say, but you are out of luck.

5) Q: I am not rooted and my Knox counter is not tripped, why am I not able to open and use Samsung Pay?

A:

Quote:

Most likely, you have disabled a package which is dependent for Samsung Pay. Make sure you know what packages you have disabled, and make adjustments if needed. This includes any Knox packages!

6) Q: I am not rooted, Knox counter is not tripped, or have any disabled packages, and still cannot use Knox.

A:

Quote:

Try performing a factory reset. Your current status must be official! It could be set to custom, factory resetting may set it back to official.

7) Q: Can I use an xposed package to hide root & custom status to enable Samsung Pay?

A:

Quote:

Not AFAIK

8) Q: Samsung Pay does not work with my cards, even though its visa, mastercard, etc.

A:

Quote:

Not every card is currently supported, but more will be added soon! You will have to be patient and give it time. This is much more complicated than many of us know, and Samsung will add support when they know things are good to go. Check here for more information on current support and more questions about Samsung Pay http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...#compatibility

For now, this are the most common questions I can think of. I will update the thread if needed. Feel free to ask more questions or report any typos or contradictions :o

I should get the phone in a day or two and will have a more personal review on it. Does anyone else have this phone??

N7100 No sound only during calls. Everything else works fine.

So I noticed about 2 months ago that I have absolutely no sound (voice in/out or ringing while call is being placed) when I make or receive calls using the Phone app. I have various VOIP apps that all work fine. All media plays fine. Headsets all work fine for watching movies and whatnot. No sound during calls.

I had a factory unlocked N7100 that I was told came from Spain originally (I'm in Toronto). I had flashed some other country (I think South Africa) because they got a newer version and my phone wasn't updating automatically. Never had any issues until I noticed this with the calls. I have no idea how long it's been like that as I have a second phone I use primarily for voice calls and this one I usually just use basically as a tablet or I use VOIP apps for calling.

Yesterday I tried to flash to DN4 2.1 but after numerous times it would never get past the Samsung logo so I went with a France 4.4.2 stock ROM. That one has since autoupdated. Everything is working great including data. I can place calls and the other line will ring but there is no audio in/out of my phone (other end can't hear me, I can't hear them). Although it's not a huge issue for me I'd like to fix it. I have previously messed around with hidden menus and possibly even tried to play modifying with the phone app (as various hidden menus stopped working after the last update and I was trying to get them back). But when I was trying to get DN4 to work I wiped EVERYTHING repeatedly so I don't think anything could be hanging around to mess stuff up.

I don't think it's a hardware issue otherwise why would it work fine for VOIP using the same mic and speaker? Also, it doesn't work through a headset either. No voice, no ringing, etc.

Currently my phone is showing the following:
Baseband:
N7100XXUFNG1
Kernel:
3.0.31-4587314
dpi@SWDD5010 #1
Tue Mar 31 14:58:35 KST 2015

KOT49H.N7100XXUFOC2

Suggestions?!?

[Q]Odin'd back to stock lost everything (of course)

Hey guys, I Odin'd back to stock and upgraded to 5.1.1 after having it rooted since root was available. I unfortunately presumed my phones photos were backed up through Google Photos but they weren't. Everything I search requires root so that's not an option. Is there any other options that maybe you guys have from experience that could help me out? Thanks guys and sorry for the long read.

Low mic gain/volume for everything (calls, whatsapp, recording...)

I just bought a new LG Leon LTE (comming from Moto Defy) and I can notice that the audio (recorded with apps, in calls, and so) is so low compared to other phones! I blow the mic and the wind noise is clearly recorded, so I guess everything is ok at a hardware level (no obstructions). But still really low gain. In Smart Voice recorder I had to put it at 4x gain to feel close to my other device. Sound quality seems ok, but the volume is not good at all.
Anyone else suffered the same? Is there a genereic way to adjust main mic gain in Android? I will root it.

[LG LEON LTE] Low mic gain/volume for everything (calls, whatsapp, recording...)

Anyone else suffering the same? Mic gain is SO low compared to other devices. I'm comming from Moto Defy and I can totally hear the difference. Other people even tell me the same.
Is there any way to adjust main mic gain on Android? I will root this device.
