Hello,
I'm living in europe and bought xt925 on ebay. It came from singapour. From very beggining I had a problem with its loudness. It was very quiet on speaker. I'm talking about both music and ringtone. When I set loudness on half I cannot hear almost anything from speaker. When I set it on the maximum it is as loud as my friend's samsung at 1/4.
I cannot send it back to seller because I need it for work. I heard about Engineer Mode where I can change any setting but unfortunately it doesnt work. It popsup with message "Cannot find EngineerMode app". I though it is because it's not rooted.
Downloaded several root tools but none worked. Surprisingly this phone was already unlocked.
Please tell me is it broken or what? What can I do with it? It is so quiet that I cannot hear it when someone is calling in another room.

i got a xt926 recently and this thing is loud specially the default ringtone is very loud, im actually running with little reduced volume.
Don't you have any ideas what to do with it?
Additionally I'm getting popup from 4.4.2 update. I tried to install it but when downloading is done and phone reboots to flash it, it goes to about 3/5 of installation with green android and blue sphere and then droid lays with red triangle and phone reboots normaly. After that on main screen I see window with "installation couldn't be progressed" (I have polish language so I'm not sure what's wrote in english version)
Taking a stock OTA update will always fail if the system has been modified (rooted, stock apps removed, etc). If you didn't restore it to a factory image with RSD Lite after getting it, the previous owner probably did something that is causing the update to fail.
I am total newbie about flashing. I had once Motorola Defy and bricked it so I don't want to build new building because of my mistakes.
Can you tell me what to do ?
I downloaded xml file and tried to flash via RSD Lite but my phone wasn't recognized anywhere in fastboot or without.
you need to do a factory reset if you dont care about any data in or phone, all will get wiped out, I repeat all will be list. Your phone will be as new,then you can take update to 4.4.2 if you wish.
I suggest you read a bit more about unlocking bootloader via Motorola site, rooting xt 925.
All info is available here at xda, please read before you do anything.
My xt925 was already unlocked, when I entered fastboot there is sentence "UNLOCKED"
Additional I cannot access recovery mode, and I cannot root this phone with anything.
Can you execute a factory reset from under setting?
I did it and it didn't help.
you didnt say much of anything man. How did you do the hard reset, was the OTA presented to you, whats the error, what is your carrier......devils in the details dude
As I said I bought phone via ebay from aboard.
My soft is
98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU
I have done hard reset with going to settings -> privacy -> factory reset
Right know I'm connected to polish Play Mobile. I don't know exacly code of error because while phone is upgrading to newer soft it stops in 3/5 with green android laying down with red triangle above his head and reboots.
I read many topics and still don't get whole OTA meaning. Is it the factory (original) soft or what?
You need to download few things and flash it up if the prob persist.
Download from sbf page cee ROM,
Rsd lite 6.1.5
Motorola drivers you may or may not have on your pc
Read a bit, come ? with questions if any

New to this site but have done days of searches for my problem. Since JB update my bluetooth is not working and I have also found out Airplane mode is messed up also. Both will have slight responses for a short time after booting , then nothing. I down graded back to ICS and I get some functionality and have actually paired a device but does not work correctly. Asus wants the tablet sent back , but it sure seems to me as it is Op system causing all of this. It was working fine before. I am new to messing around with android , So one question is since I down graded to ICS 4.0 does the actual device firmware downgrade completely also ? I see that Bluetooth Version lowered and other versions lowered , but could something else not get back to that version , some type of Bios type settings? ( I was told no Bios in android ,but is there something like it ? )
So does anyone have the same problems , any answers or thoughts ?
Is there a way to erase everything completely and go back to the exact files software , kernals etc. as when in the box it came in.
Sure seems to act like a software driver type problems.
What are the "Source Code" that are offered on the Asus Site ? Can those used to be used to Factory fresh the device ?
I do not want to void any warrenty , but before I send back I want to see if it is Hardware or software.
Thanks

Source code is only useful for software developers. To restore your device as close to factory state as possible, install the full firmware package of your desired version, as you already did when downgrading, and wipe data.
Things not restored by this method:
- device-dependent settings (e.g. serial number, sensor calibration data)
- DRM key
- Partition table
These usually cannot be changed by the user and therefore do not need to be restored anyway.
My main concern is the kernal, I feel that this may be the cause of my problems , if indeed the hardware does not have a problem. So when I restored to ICS , Did the kernal complete revert to factory also ? I understand now that the Kernal is the ( Bios) of Android , takes comands from software and tells hardware what to do . ( Right ? )
I am finding that the "Factory Reset " from from "Setting" does not truely reset all settings ( I set a Sound Setting before Reset , and the same setting was "on" after the reset ), therefore a "Firmware" reset back to ICS may leave the reason my bluetooth and airplane is not working.
So is there a way to use the "blob" with-out rooting or causing a warrenty issue ?
The kernel is part of the full firmware, so it is flashed when you install the firmware. It is the core of the operating system and also contains all the hardware drivers. The PC BIOS would be more comparable to the tablet's bootloader, as it only initializes the hardware and loads the kernel.
Your problem description is completely worthless. If you expect help, state exactly what you did, which error messages appear, and describe in detail what does not work and what you expected.
I thought i expalined better. I will try again. I used my bluetooth on my tablet connected to my phone and sent photos to tablet from phone. All was fine, Did not try and use bluetooth again untill a week later ( 3 days after OTA JB update ) now the bluetooth does not work and I see that Airplane mode is not working correctly either.
Since this happened right after the JB Update , It made since to me it is an update problem. I was wanting to go back to the exact state before update to see if errors were gone. I have re installed ICS and had better response from bluetooth , was able to pair a device but after pairing would not work ( headphones , sound stayed on tablet ) .
With these findings it would lead me to beleave two things , the "Firware install of ICS " left traces of the newer Kernal , that caused the problem or the Tablet hardware is the problem.
does that make more since to you ? Sorry about the first Question. I have let the tablet do the OTA back to JB and still in the same situation. I have an RMA set up , but I just like to know for sure the cause before sending back.
Thanks for you time.

Ok, Well thanks for trying ? I do not have any other info. to tell you then my last reply , that is all that I can explain , What is wrong what I did and what I was trying to figure out by process of elimination.
Hey all!
I have moto g xt1032, i update the software to 5.0.1 through ota 2 weeks ago, in the last 3 days i am having a problem with many aspect of audio in the device.
I have problem with audio during phone calls not me nor the reciver could hear any thing.
I can only able to do it through speaker, more over i cant listen to music without headphoens.
Audio in youtube videos not works, or any other source of audio.
Ringtones work for 2-3 sec and then stops, the notifications sound work only sometimes.
I had the same problem before with erlier software i think kitkat.
I rid of the problem by doing silnce and then full tune, follow reboot, then the problem fixed.
This time i have try to do so but i cant get rid of thr problem, ihave try also get in to safemod but didnt find how, in addition i have try to clear cach partition, but when i enterd to recovery it had a post of "no command.
Could any-one help me what to do? , how to fix the broblem
Thanks in advance .
My suggestion is to flash the stock 4.4.4 GPe firmware and reinstall Lollipop 5.0.1.
To reboot to safe mode press and hold Power Off and select OK, although I doubt that it will fix anything.
Also, are you rooted or have you converted to GPe?
P.S. I'm assuming that you are on GPe and not Brazilian?

Thanks for response, my device is not rooted.
I think its the gpe, if i will root the phone, google continu to send me ota updates?
Could someone please tell me what to do.
It's better that you have not root your phone, since you would have to unroot to update via OTA. Try Googling around to find out how to restore stock GPe firmware (it doesn't require root). I am out of town now so I cannot help you for a few days.

Motorola had a clear vision even before it released some of it's devices - to provide updates faster compared to competitors. Users have complained about problems with the Moto G following upgrade to new android version.
I found this article for potential solutions for a few common problems and issues faced by Moto G owners. theseblogs.com/A9Zw9 :fingers-crossed:
S8+ /S8 Global Unlocked Variants, (ie: G955FD, etc) Desperately need help w/issue After 8.0 Update...
Hi, I have a G955FD & have family members with this same model, as well as the Global unlocked regular S8-dual sim. We all have the same issue after the Samsung 8.0.0 update. The phone is no longer reliable. Randomly, these devices will not have any ring on incoming calls. If they don't leave a VM, then you have no indication of a missed phone call. In addition, random periods where text messages will also just not come thru. Difference on the texts is, when you reboot, they all populate in the message app and notifications. But the incoming calls are not known and lost forever w/o a VM left for you by caller.
I have been in contact with Samsung, although they indicate right off that I have no warranty because I didn't buy a carrier device from an authorized vendor for my local use, they were open & helpful to reveal that they are aware of '8.0 ringer issues' on the unlocked global devices. BTW, this must be a huge number of people across the world with this problem, but like my friends/family, originally think they have signal/carrier issues etc. Samsung says that it should be addressed in a patch or update..... but, WHEN? I have had a messed up phone for over 3months and counting.
The only thing that can be done to attempt having the phone work 'more often' is to do a restart every hour all day long and hope that your phone will ring when someone is calling.
I, personally, being the family tech guy, am the one working on the issue so I'm here to ask for help/input.
Been dealing with this issue for over 3 months now, here's some of what I have done and what I'd like help with please...
I have attempted 5x to install a custom ROM from XDA to alleviate this issue completely, but as of now, still unsuccessful. I've been rooting/hacking my android devices since my 1st but somehow can't get the process to work thru. At this point, using Odin, I have no issue to get my phone running TWRP and rooted. Somehow, after that point something isn't going right and my phone has to be re-odin flashed with OEM ROM and then wait 1 week for OEM unlock to re-appear to try again. So, If I could complete this process next time the OEM-unlock is back up, my problem would be over.
Now, since I am having issue with completing a custom ROM install... I thought, why not flash a previous OEM ROM (7.0 NOUGAT) and again, my problem should be over and I could wait until a 9.0 update to see how that goes. So far, any 7.0 stock ROMS I have been able to find/download, have 'failed' install in Odin. (I have standard Odin, patched and Prince Comsey) so I always try them all before I say it's a true fail.
Can anyone help me to understand why, with all the root/roms Ive done, cannot get custom ROM to complete install. I was trying for the CarHD or Batman. after rom flash, something goes wrong and the phone either goes bootloop or failed verify. (BTW, couple X I did flash the no-verify to alleviate that issue but still get bootloop or no new rom boot up)
The other thing I'd love to be able to do right now that 'should' be a piece of cake, (but hasn't been) until I figure out the custom rom install issue, is to ask for anyone that can post a link to a valid ODIN-flashable Stock 7.0 NOUGAT ROM for my S8+ G955F/FD. That would solve everything for now and I'd just disable updates for the interim. As previously mentioned, the couple I have found would only FAIL on Odin flash attempts. Seeing that this is a global, unlocked device, is it possible to flash a stock rom or flash a diff CSC that can get me North America Tmobile setup (my USA provider) I noticed that the global phone has no options to disable LTE or turn wifi calling on/off etc.
I apologize if I have jumped around in my post, not provided enough details or not written very eloquently, but I am happy to provide any other needed info to move forward if any of you have ideas here. I'm just at the end of my rope with this right now.
Any help, input here is much appreciated! TIA! mark~
Trying to be helpful here.
For some folks flashing with Odin the first run through errors/fails. That issue was a PITA. I found a post somewhere which said when you hook up the phone to flash with Odin, the first attempt will fail, but to leave the phone connected, go back into download mode, and flash again. Do not unplug the phone when you do this.
For some reason there's a kink in Odin with some folks.
That info, wish I could recall who by - they deserve the recognition, anyway it solved all my Odin errors.

hey jeff, thanks for checking in when the OEM unlock button returns again tomorrow, I'll keep this in mind on my next attempt. i did encounter that fail several times with some OEM firmware flashes (trying to go back to 7.0) and this should resolve that problem. overall though, my real issue seems to be when attempting a root/custom rom instead of a stock replacement... and 'after' i get TWRP completed. I'm doing something wrong with a button hold sequence or something else. maybe need flash 'do not verify' right off too. I'm gonna go extra slow/careful following each step from a great, detailed post for TWRP/ROOT/ROM procedure that i found here over weekend written by 'jesec' what i hate the most is, i only have 1 shot doing this with the oem unlock button, if messed up, have to re-flash a stock rom and wait another 7 days to try this all again.
i still cannot believe its been about 13wks and samsung says they are aware, yet still has not patched this problem. i love my samsungs but im so fed up, i almost ordered a oneplus 6 this weekend just because of this random no ring issue.
thanks much!
Good morning, I've been on the phone for two days now that's crazy ... and everything is clear to touch where I should not surely hehe
I comment a little to see if you can throw me a handle, either to put the phone right or neck.
I had a rom on my cell phone for maybe 4 or 5 months and the only thing that a couple of weeks or so ago every time I went in the car or with the bike when using bluetooth calls failed, so I started looking in internet and I saw that many rom failed in that, because I decided to put another rom. All good, but the same mistake followed and the one that did not vibrate added up. Well now I have been trying to try different but yesterday there is no way, you can see that I made a small brick. After talking for some comments on YouTube, he told me that it could be that he has damaged binary, (I do not know what it is), they told me to download to Android 6.0
The question is yes, I tried a firmware (the only one that I could install with odin, the rest always fails) and I have now the phone that works half, because it still does not vibrate, every time I turn on I have to enter key wifi and some more things , not counting the andorid that I have haha that is outdated.
Testing with Odin to install other firmware now I get on the mobile, secure check fail bootloader. (I understand that it may be that the bootloader is blocked) but I do not know how to unblock it either, I have the developer options enabled with debugging usb and OEM.
I have also tried to install with Odin the TWRP and it comes out that if it has been installed correctly but then I try to get in and out fail and restart.
I have seen that there is a guide here for TWRP but it is for android 7.0 ... so I do not think it's good either.
After this billet ... does anyone give me a hand?
Thank you very much in advance!
PD: I add, right now I have the J710FXXU5BRC3 version but J710FXXS3AQG1 runs too. both with android 6.0
PD2: another mistake, is that when I go to flash it puts: sw rec. check fail. device 5, binary 3
Hi, I have this super-weird issue - my OOS got update to v12 and since then weird things happened:
It started to suddenly and immediately turn off and I couldnt do a thing. I did hard reset and noticed that turning on Gooogle Assistant (or using the mic at all) caused these resets. So I didnt activte Assistant. Unfortunnately, this caused my mic not to work at all.
So i have given up and decided to revert to previous rom - v11. Unfortunately, that is everything but simple:
I have downloaded ROM for EU from here oneplus site and tried both OP local update tool and this weird app named my application2. Both dont seem to work and im not sure why, I checked like 5 different ROM versions and I am kind of stuck. OP Local prompts me that I cannot install lower version of package than currently installed and this other app throws me pop up with this message: "Verification failed". I tried to google it and checked here on forum and I cant find similar thread.
Could anyone help me out with this?
I just went through this. I downgraded from 12L to 11. For some reason some of the roms do not want to be used by the local upgrade app. I used a different one from the one I will direct you to and it said that I couldn't downgrade. I just had to find the right one. Go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...a-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3930585/
Under "signed flashable zips" in the op, click "click to show content". I don't know which one you need global/India or Europe. I specifically used the global/India OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.P.41_GLO_0410_2112101753.
Use the local upgrade tool app. Downgrading will completely wipe your phone. So, make backups of your backups. If you root your phone, make sure to freeze the System Update app to get rid of the annoying update notification. So happy to have root/twrp back.
Thanks, unfortunately I have rolled back to OOS 11 and it didnt solve a thing - i keep seeing this lightning symbol and phone turns off even on full battery, I cant make phone calls because any use of mic turns off the phone immediately and I have no clue what to do next with it.
