Stuck on "erasing", took longer than 24 hours and still stuck.

(NOTE: My phone is not rooted)

My ASUS Zenfone 2 is stuck at the "erasing" screen. When I started the factory reset, it went to the "erasing" screen. After reading other threads, I thought it was normal to format between 12-24 hrs. It has been about 28 hours, with my phone plugged in while formatting, and it is still stuck...

All methods, including hard reset and recovery mode took me back to the same screen, and still stuck. Can anyone help me? :crying:

Should I still buy it in 2016?

I want to buy a phone and I have a budget of 160$. I have found a Droid Turbo online for around 158$ and I find it perfect for me because it has an okay camera, good hardware and a fine size. The seller claims it to be on KK and say that it is GSM unlocked and will work on Verizon also. Will it work on my carrier if I update it to MM in the future? If it locks the network, how can I unlock it again?

Thanks in advance ;)

Android Head unit still in boot loop even after update

Hi all,

Allow me to apologies if I post in the wrong thread.
Recently I bought "Bosion 420" head unit from Aliexpress
800x480, quad core, 1G RAM 16GROM. Android 4.4.4
It was working fine for first week. I download and install Sygic app. That's the last thing I did. After next time I start the unit, the unit loop in android boot logo
.
I contacted the seller and he send me the ROM to update. He asked me to put in the ROM sd card and boot up. It automatically goes into progress bar. And it run till 100%. After 100%, the screen become blare out and nothing happened. But when I took off the card and reboot, it goes back to the android boot loop still. Seller is not responding me anymore and its already out of time for dispute so I am out of options. Can somebody help me with that?

Thanks in advance!

Bootloader still locked after using HTCDev

Hello everyone,

I tried unlocking my bootloader with HTCdev. It seemed to be a success, I had the screen which asked me if I really want to unlock, I said yes and my data has been wiped, so I thought that it was good and tried turning S-OFF. However, it seems that my bootloader is still locked because of these three reasons:
- Rumrunner wasn't able to do S-OFF.
- I can't flash a custom recovery (it says "signature verify failed").
- When I am on the Hboot screen (version 2.22), it is still written ***LOCKED***...

I also tried to lock and re-unlock with a new key but it had the same result, and most of the time the unlocking screen doesn't even show up when I type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Did you have similar issues, or do you have any ideas how to arrange this?
Thank you

N DP5: Sensors issues still there

Hello,

With DP5 (it was the same on DP4), after a while (it can be a day or an hour), some of the phone sensors stop working: no auto-rotation and no ambient display. Reboots fix the issue until it happens again.
The improvment between DP4 and 5 is that auto-brightness is not affected by the bug anymore.

I saw some threads on reddit and other sites about the issue and a few android bug reports but quite nothing on XDA except on thread with 1 reply.
Some Android dev had replied on a bug report that this is a known bug and that the fix was ready for the next update (ie DP5) but the bug is still there.

So do you also have the issue? Any ideas where it comes from?
Some people believe it's Pokemon GO-related, what do you think?

Thanks

(I know that most of people play Pokemon GO anyway so this could mean nothing but issue started on DP4 it seems, and Pokemon GO released when quite everybody had switched to DP4.)

Still no root after CM12.1

Well, I'm actually a bit of a noob and just wanted CM on my phone so i followed this tutorial:
reraise.eu/2013/03/09/temporaerer-cwm-und-root-fuer-das-galaxy-s-ii-ab-ics
reraise.eu/2014/01/14/so-installierst-du-cm11-kitkat-auf-dem-galaxy-s2
Worked fine and got CM 11 and updated to CM12.1 ( cm-12.1-20151116-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-i9100.zip from download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100 Didn't update to 13 yet)
But now I don't have rootaccess even after change in developer options in CM.

LG G3 D850 Bricked Or Still A Chance?

Droid:

• LG


• G3


• D850


• Stock MM (up until the botched root)

Issues:

• No Boot


• No Recovery


• No Download

However when I attempt to put in recovery mode, the LED on the phone flashes blue and orangeish-red (I don't know, maybe I'm color blind), and the device manager pops up with a driver called QHSUSB_BULK that is corrupted. I believe the cause of this was the attempted root with KingRoot (success), then AutoRecMM (apparent failure) for the D850. Not quite sure what happened, but when the reboot happened I tried to put it into recovery, and no dice, just experienced the lights and the corrupted driver installation. I've been looking for days and haven't found anything because all fixes required Fast Boot, Recovery, Download, or open access from the phone for ADB. I know the large majority of the users on XDA are far more knowledgeable than I am about fixing "bricked" phones, so please if any one can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks fellas.

I still haven't received the 20o OTA

I still haven't received the 20o OTA on either of my G4's. Anyone else not have it yet? What could be taking so long? It has been out for weeks.

Hi there, is the s5 still a good option?

Currently i have a moto g3 (2gb version) and i'm looking for an upgrade that doesn't brake the wallet. I don't like larger phones, most i can tolerate is 5.2 inches and unfourtunately there's not much alternatives out there.
I've found a seller that has "new" (pretty sure they are refurbished) Sm-900m for 162 bucks, i've read the specs, and in my head this sounds as a logical non wallet breaking upgrade from my g3.
However i do want to know your experience with your phones and if you think this is actually a good idea. I care a lot about battery and performance, and i'm not really a fan of touchwiz so, if you could also tell me how stable are the roms currently in development i would thank you very much.
Thanks in advance!

My root is gone but bootloader is still unlocked

Hi all.
Yesterday I noticed a issue while using greenify, it says "Failed to put Facebook,Snapchat into hibernation." I've never experienced this before. So I thought that it could be about root and downloaded root checker.
I run it an it says "Root access is not properly installed on this device." But when I restart in recovery mode it says that bootloader is still unlocked.

And also some strange things happen. App permissions change randomly etc.
I tried a hard reset this morning, but everything is same.

I don't know much about this root thing. My device is second hand, and it had root when I got the phone.

Edit: I'm using stock rom 6.0.1 MOB30P, and stock recovery

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, I've found one a 2nd hand web the One Plus One for 190€ (209$). Right now I have the Moto G 2015 1GB RAM version so... it's good to the day to day stuff but nothing excellent, maybe the camera. Is the OPO a nice buy nowadays? Thx!

Samsung Pay still not working after restoring to stock through ODIN

Got my S7 yesterday, played around with root, and decided to go with a stock experience for the time being so I can use Samsung Pay and MST (blasphemous, I know). I used ODIN to restore back to stock, verified KNOX counter wasn't tripped, and went on setting everything up.

I installed Samsung Pay and launched, only to run into the access denied message you would see if you were attempting to open it with a rooted device. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

Deep sleep problem after root on MM, does the patch still work? (SM-G920F)

Hi guys,

So, i want to do a simple task, root my phone and enjoy, but no, that is not possible because Android OS jumps to 30% of battery usage and drains my battery very quickly.

I know that there is a deep sleep patch but does it work on marshmallow? I can't seem to find answer anywhere. Also, i'm a simple kind of user and i don't need custom kernels etc. and i say this because i know that many kernels have the fix integrated but all the popular kernels are EOL so i'd like to stay stock...

Is there a way just to simply root the phone with cf autoroot and not to mess up with kernels etc.? I remember something about build.prop flag in one line that re enables the deep sleep, but also, i cannot find that answer anymore.

Thanks in front...

Any help is appreciated.

Is the z5C still worth buying?

The z5c came out almost 1 year ago, do you guys think the z5c is still worth buying?
What do you guys think? If no, what would you consider buying, considering the z5c as first option?

Bootloop still a problem?

I was looking into buying a new phone, something with an unlockable bootloader and semi easy to root. I came across the G4 and it looked pretty promising. I was most likely going to buy it then I found this issue with the bootloops. It seems like a fairly common problem with the early models of the phone. I was wondering if I were to purchase a G4 now if it would still have the same problem or it has since been fixed. I couldn't find any recently updated threads on the issue so I thought I'd come over to xda.

Thanks!:D

I'm still new to rooting so I wasn't sure with this Root, if I could go and install one of the Roms that came out before we even had root on the QC version?
