Just wonder if someone can tell me: I bought a brand new Nexus One Tmobile a couple days ago. I thought I would get the -update1 (ERE27) right out of the box, but surprisingly I didn't. However, I did receive the OTA update after a couple hours later though. Is it normal, hope it wasn't refurbished?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it was manufactured and packed prior to the ERE27 release then I can't see any reason they'd unbox and reflash every device. I'd imagine they will ship and receive the OTA like any other phone manufactured during that time period. I don't think this is any indication it is a refurb.
Okay. When i first got this phone about 2 weeks ago texts came through no problem. Now for the past about 2 or 3 days i get texts that were sent over a day ago at 10 at night. Im on tmobile and never had this issue on my m8. Im rooted,oem unlock and twrp recovery with the only custom rom available.
Ideas??[emoji21]

From what i was told today at work, that can happen either when the tower is being upgraded, reset, or having issues. i would call and file a ticket with tech support if it continues
Awesome, thanks for the info

i had the exact same problem and got my phone replaced a week ago. not sure what time problem is or if its even phone related but i do know that i havent had this problem since.
I have been having issues with my t-mobile version also. My wife got part of anew text mixed with part of an old(like a couple week old) text. Today I got a few OLD OLD texts from my wife. Both of us have the T-Mobile version, stock rooted...
I had to factory reset twice to get mine to work normally.
So after 1 year of living with my Note 4 it started to play up at the start of November.
Thought it was just all my apps updating for Marshmallow but it got so bad that I was going to have to Factory Reset, so I was going to do that then I was going to force my EE 5.0.1 Note 4 to BTU 5.1.1 and did.
Worked great for a few days but the issues came back - Would reboot, wouldn't respond and would jump in to Download mode and to top it all off when it powered down it would not power back up for a while.
On that last one I could take the battery out and it would be around 5 minutes before my MOTO360 would tell me my phone was connected any more.
On Sunday 15th Nov my Note 4 we belly-up and I put my EE sim card in my other phone for that to do the same with 1 hour. Popped down to EE shop got a new sim card no hassles and 1 week later Note 4 is running good (not great) but still with the odd reboot now and again - may be 3 times in a week.
The other phone was (is) a Cubot One which I had to reflash 3 times to get it to work again and it still working with a different sim card.
If you have problems with your Note 4 it may just be the sim card that is causing it, mine looked ok and when you think it is a dumb piece of the kit and should cause any damage but it did.
Now not sure whether to unlock and flash 5.1.1 again or not, may be just wait on EE last as usual for the update.
The story of my Note 4.
Thread closed.
Not sure how to post in the proper thread perhaps a mod could move this post to the peoper one?
Hi this will be my first post. I am seeking guidance to properly root my note 5. After researching this seems to be the most knowledgeable forum but cant find a kernel that works!
First let me explain my situation then I will list all phone specs that i think are necessary.
Im in Canada and was with Bell previously on contract. I had a note 3 which I rooted easily with kingo software. The phone is in great shape still thanks to my otterbox after 2 years. My work offers corporate plans through Roger's so after my Bell contract ended I switched to Rogers corporate plan with the note 5 on a 2 year term. I got the new phone because I was signing up for a new contract and wanted a cheap phone out of the deal. Now that my note 5 isnt rooting properly Im considering sending it back continuing with my corporate plan on my note 3 which works great. The note 5 is awesome so far but if rooting doesnt succeed want my note 3. Rogers gave me a 14 day no questions asked return policy grace period to decide which i have 12 days left. Lastly I purchased a returnable otterbox but a non refundable gorilla glass which has already been installed to on my phone. Just another factor to consider when making this desision as the gorilla glass will be a loss. Id love to keep my note 5 and note 3 as a backup if I get it rooted properly.
Now onto problems Ive had after rooting.. depends on the kernel. Ive had issues mostly with my calls resulting in my note 5 restarting or silence when making calls. One kernel I used froze my phone in the recovery mode screen.. guessing the kernel was invalid.. I have superSu I dont know what Im doing wrong. Im using odin and loading it into the 2nd line i think its under AP. Oh I did the developer option thing already.. oh and I installed proper drivers to my PC twice to make sure.
Lastly heres all the info to hopefully find me the right kernel specific for me.
Samsung note 5
SM-N920W8
With Rogers in Canada
Android version 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
Current kernel Noble kernel v0.1 (most stable but resetting phone during calls)
If there any other info you need to provide me with the right kernel just let me know what you info you require.
I hope to find out within the 14 days if I can keep this phone or not. Realllllly apreciate the help in advance. Bill.
Nobody has any info? Becoming very frustrating
+1 for a friendly bump
I am in the same position as you and recently upgraded to Note 5 as well from Note 3. Honestly, Note 3 with root is by far my favourite phone of all time. I have been reading up on n920w8 threads too and haven't had much luck so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
The one thing that is keeping me from rooting is the fact that others have reported that Samsung/Google Pay won't work after.
btw... have you not tripped knox on our phone yet by flashing one of the kernels?
Yeah the note 3 was great ran smooth loved the os the root ran smooth never had any issues. The note 5 just looks and feels newer but its so unstable I lost calls today dling my taxes then speaking to my lawyer.. I have no landline so Im basically out of a phone right now kind of panicking I need to have a phone but I dont know if I can return it now? Its still within the 14 day grace period can I factory reset and return and stay on the plan the my.note 3? I need to figure something out quick.. I would keep this phone if the root worked but honestly I can go back to the note 3 I can unlock from Bell to Rogers for free right since its rooted?
I can't find any sign of knox on my phone since the root thing wont find it in s finder or anywhere so Im assuming it tripped. Honestly I never used knox on my note 3 either because it was void what does it do? Oh and Google play works fine though..
Im all for keeping the note 5 IF I can get it rooted properly I cant constantly lose calls like this.. Is there anyone out there that has a working kernel or should I attempt to return it? I have like 6 days left..
I was reading that the skyhigh kernel for tmobile is supposed to work. Already have it flashed. Can anyone confirm if this is the right one for Rogers note 5 SM-920W8
Hello all,
I ordered the Xiaomi Hi Pad 4 Plus on eBay a few weeks ago and it came in today. Should I be concerned if it tablet came unlocked with the Google play store already installed? From what I had read, I should need to request an unlock and go through some steps to get Google play working, no?
I'm asking because I had read about people receiving unlocked devices and finding installed malware on them.
Worst case, do you think a factory reset would be enough to deal with any potential malware?
Thank you for your time.
I wish that happened to me.
I was stuck waiting 30 days to unlock mine.
I'm fairly certain that if you flash a different ROM you'll be fine in terms of malware.
Factory reset might not do it depending on how baked in the malware is.
Yep, ended up flashing it to an EU rom and it's working well.
My younger brother got an S3 a week ago, I really want to see how they compare.
