Was able to pull my ota metro pcs update from my phone

So I was able to find where the file was downloaded to and I was able to transfer it to my SD card. It just finished uploading so here's the link. Not to sure if this is the right place to post it or if I'm even doing right, but here it goes lol. This is for the a32eul models and is for metro PC only!!!

I am not responsible for anything wrong that could happen to your phone. Flash at your own risk!

The worst problem Iv'e seen on a phone... and only I have it

Ever since i got the zenfone 2 i have had problems, over the past 2 months they have been good, but recently, I've hardly been able to use it. Now, not at all. I've start problems the same day I got it. Now, this stupid problem I have is not booting, sometimes it does but it's hard to boot up (have to spam the power button). If i get it on I can't press the power button or it shuts off and reboots, there's no vibration or sound, I can't factory reset it, update it, or plug it into my computer and for it to recognize. I didn't even do anything to it. I was just playing Pokemon go, it died, and the problems occurred from there. All in all, 4/10, because still a great phone. I've tried everything there is to try, googled anything i can google, nothing has helped, and I need a replacement phone from Asus but doubtful they will give it to me. Sigh...

[WTA] Should I buy this phone?

Should I? Any pros and cons? Does it have expandible storage? Any regret? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Forgot to add in, is the phone future proof?

Please help me i tried rooting and now my phone won't work

I tried rooting my phone using Odin from this tutorial:

Phone battery issues with Gear Fit 2

I recently got one of these, and had a couple questions related to battery life.

My phone is a OnePlus One running the latest COS 13.0.1 build (S254) and better life on the phone is significantly degraded since installing the Gear Fit Manager and S Health apps. I have the band set to only sync with S Health manually, and had generally been keeping the band connected via Bluetooth. I have a feeling the always connected via BT is what's killing my phone battery, but was curious as to what others are doing? Do you keep you band connected via BT or do you just rely on the Remote Wi-Fi connectivity? It appears that it only syncs with S Health via BT, so does anyone just connect it via BT once or twice a day to sync and leave it on Wi-Fi the rest of the time?

Just curious for any tips to save the battery on my phone. Battery life on the Fit2 itself has been pretty good so far, lasting a couple of days per charge which certainly meets my needs.

Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated!

How to install update with rooted phone?

Im trying to install the update B120 with the automatic process but dont work, how can i upgrade?

please help, phone stuck on boot loop :(

using a doogee x5, i can access recovery but i have no idea what to do from there :( cant access the phone via usb but can access sd card

Is my phone bricked?

My nexus 5, which I think is running KitKat, is malfunctioning. I haven't used it in about 9 months. When I plug the phone in to charge, either into a computer or wall charger, I get the flashing red light saying that the battery is super low. It'll flash 8 times and pause until it's got enough charge to start up. Once it starts up, I can get it past the android splash screen to an animation with 4 circles as it's loading. It'll do that animation for a few seconds (never the same amount of time) and then the screen goes black and after a few seconds, the android logo pops up and it goes into an infinite loop of splashing the word android, then going dead and doing it over and over again. The only way that I can get any other behavior is if I hold the power button, when it gets to the 4 circles animation for a few seconds and goes back to the loop of the android logo.

Am I hosed?

Is this phone developer friendly?

One-click Transfer from Phone to Phone

After being put on ice for a very long time, Apowersoft Phone Transfer is finally released with a brand new version. Our team really put great efforts in this update. Sincerely hope you will like it. Of course, it still needs a lot of improvements. So we need your help to try the app and tell us the problems you meet and great suggestions you have in mind. We are all ears!:victory:

Introduction

What is Apowersoft Phone Transfer?

It is a super easy phone to phone file transfer app through WiFi. As long as this app is installed on both phones, you can use it to transfer photos, albums, videos, music, documents, APK and other files as you wish.

How to Use Apowersoft Phone Transfer?

1. Install Phone Transfer app on your devices.

• APK Download


• Download from Play Store /App Store

2. Connect your phones to the same WiFi network. Then link your phones using these 2 ways:

• QR code connection: on one phone, tap the button on the upper left corner and tap the QR code icon beside the avatar; on the other phone, tap the button on the upper left corner and tap "Scan"; scan the QR code to build the connection.


• Radar connection: tap the Dock-like icon at the bottom; the radar will begin to detect the nearby devices; tap the other device's avatar to connect.

3. After connection, choose the files to transfer and tap "Send" button at the bottom. Then they will be transferred within a short time.
4. You can also tap the button on the upper right corner to check or clear transfer history.

Great Features

1. Fast file transfer. The file transfer process is very easy. Even newbies will find it very handy. Moreover, the transfer speed is 30 times faster than Bluetooth.
2. Versatile connection ways. As you can see above, it provides two simple ways for you to connect. You can freely choose one which suits you best.
3. Lossless data transmission. For all the files you transferred, there won't be any loss of the amount or quality.

Other Interesting Functions

• Change Avatar freely.


• View & clear transfer history.


• Ring and vibrate when connecting phones or transferring files (You can turn them off in Settings)

Can't get the phone to recognize data connection through USB port

Sadly i had to come to the painful conclusion that my problem relies at this point on the data detection of the phone itself.
I have read tons of tutorials pointing to adb or fastboot upgrades and different stuff and methods to update. I'm stuck in 2.20.40.139 and cannot find an update within the OS. I will enumerate now the things i see in order to clarify this situation.

_USB debugging on or off makes no difference.
_MTP or the other mode returns nothing. No detection on device manger in windows.
_Phone always charges when plugged to USB ports.
_Tried 4 cables and 3 pc's all of them tested with other phones and tablets.
_On fastboot mode nothing happens and device is nowhere to be found.
_ADB is the same. adb devices shows nothing for this.
_Recovery returns an error as if it tries to update something that isn't there MOFD_SUPDATE.zip
_after that error i get into recovery pressing power+vol up for a few seconds.
_did a factory reset on the phone and wipes in recovery.
_copied file in root of the phone. Detected the update. failed when trying to apply.
_bootloader in fastboot shows unknown. serial is 0123456789ABCDEF or something like that (serial was ok before i used the bootloader unlocker from ASUS website)


i can't think anything else for this right now... it's really driving me crazy since android works without an issue. Phone is not rooted or even has been tried to root.

If someone knows or can think anything regarding this please help me out. There's nothing i like more to share thoughts and ideas to have this updated.

Thanks in advance,

Can't find ROM for my huawei Phone

Hello,

I recently received a Huawei GR3 Dual SIM LTE TAG-L23 that was soft bricked. apparently someone tried to flash a ROM from a different model (TAG-L21 or TAG-L22) with no luck. i have been searching for a while to find a custom/stock ROM, but i haven't been able to find even one. i even tried the huawei pages, but there wasn't even a mention of this model.

Can someone please help me to find a ROM that this model can use? thanks in advance

lots of phone issues

I am getting lots of problems with my phone. I recently bumped by Nexus 6p to the beta releases, and noticed apps and the OS/phone as a whole, crashing and restarting. This happens randomly sometimes. I will have Maps open, and Maps closes, and asks me if I want to re-launch it. I do, and within minutes sometimes it force closes again. And when I go to view other apps I have open while I have maps open, and switch to it, or begin to use another app, I also run into issues (apps/phone crashing). I also get, upon reboot sometimes, an error message saying my phone is corrupt. I also will be running a app like Maps, and I once got about 10-12 pop-ups telling me that these apps needed to force close, and asked even if I wanted to restart, even though I don't recall launching some of them (must have been running in the background).
Would a factory reset work, or should I go back to the stable rom, or should I root, or do I need to rma this? I am trying to switch to another rom, and looking at unlocking my phone, but can't copy my files to my desktop (Windows 10): "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It stays at this for a while. Then it begins to copy, and after a short while, I get a pop-up saying "Error Copying Files or Folder" "Unspecified error". Any ideas on where to go from here?

Installed Xposed Framework zip, soft-bricked phone :(

Hey guys,

I know I know, I was stupid to try to get this working but I tried and failed. Now I'm just looking to get my old phone back and just leave it at being rooted (with custom recovery installed) and a custom rom. All 3 of these I had successfully done before I installed the framework zip which is where the problems arose.
I'll give you as much information as possible:

Phone: SM-G935F (UK version and on EE network)
Rooted with: CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f
Custom Recovery flashed: twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte.img.tar
Other things flashed: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip
Custom Rom flashed: KryxxOS-R1.3-G935F.zip

All of these were working and I should have stopped here but with the new Pokemon craze I really wanted Xposed installed to use the modules for it however massively regret it. I wish to get back to this point.

Zip used for Xposed: xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip

Phone initially wouldn't do anything apart from show a battery (not charging (grey icon with lightening in it)) icon when connected to power. And it would ONLY do something when booting into download mode allowing me to go into it. It seemed the custom recovery was no longer working. I then tried everything, flashing back all Stock firmware for my model using ODIN and correct files for my phone (G935FXXU1APF2_G935FEVR1APE2_EVR), that didn't work. Even when installing only AP, all 4 using first HOME_CSC in the CSC and then using all 4 using the CSC file in the CSC. Then I tried using Smart Switch's recovery system, this failed also. Then I remembered hmmm, I can try to reflash my custom recovery using Odin. That WORKED. I thought great now I can do something and sure enough I could wipe my phone and access my files on my phone again when rebooted. After the reboot I tried just re-flashing the SU, the no-verify and the custom ROM thinking it would take me back. It still didn't boot. Black screen nothing. The last thing I attempted was to flash the Xposed Framework uninstaller and used this zip : xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64. I didn't know what this asci files were so I didn't flash them? After flashing the uninstaller, I again flashed SU, no-verify and the custom ROM. Nothing. Still nothing. However...whilst I was typing this, because my phone was connected to my PC and not stuck in DL mode or anything, it's now randomly come up with a battery charge. 3% so far but I want to wait until its higher before I risk trying to turn it on. Could it have been a dead battery all along whilst trying to fix?

I'd appreciate your help even if its to clarify that the battery seems to be the problem. I'll keep you posted with it throughout the night but if it gets sorted tonight it means I don't have to go into the city tomorrow to buy a fix. Thanks to all who post. Ask if you need anymore information.
