1)you're better of asking the stable version in your phone thread with your fellow users.

2)xposed wasn't really working in loliipop+ ,so what everybody do is deodex the ROM so xposed can install properly and then odex/restore the apps that report crashes after flashing xposed

Make a backup before trying anything though.

i have flashed xposed on samsung A7 android 5.1.1 without de-odex and it is working good, i have used it on other samsung devices too but want to know will it work on huawei without de-odex, giving it a try wish me luck
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Samsung uses Xposed for TouchWiz, it has different quirks than other devices that use non TouchWiz Xposed. Samsung devices are different on a lot of things, this makes for trickier flashing/developing but it also makes some things easier with Samsung than other brands.

LG G4 Android 6.0 Root on Verizon

Is it possible to root my LG G4 from Verizon on Android 6.0 (software version VS98626A)

I've searched and either I'm inept or there is no definitive answer to my question.

Also, please forgive me if this is a bad place to post
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Verify whether your bootloader is unlocked or not, if locked, find a method for unlocking.

If unlocked or once unlocked, do a search for TWRP for your model number, if it exists, flash it, then do a search for SuperSU.zip and flash that in TWRP.

I just did this in July. I didn't know how old it was until I started having questions. I've seen recent activity in posts by the person who uploaded it. Feeling a little salty that he/she hasn't at least typed a short reply to my direct message even if to tell me they cannot help. Thank you anyway
[General Questions and Answers] cycloprovayne:
How can I unlock my bootloader?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is different for all devices, some can't ever unlock, that's why I told you to search. You need to focus on learning about your specific model number and what it can or can't do instead of asking or wondering how to do "this" or "that", first find out whether you can or can't and then worry about the "how".
[General Questions and Answers] cycloprovayne:
Does it matter what my software version is? Or only model number is important to search by
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not only the android version, for some devices there are more than one specific build number of one of its versions available. For example, they may have more than one build of 5.1.1 or two builds of 6.0.

ZTE Z755 stuck on carrier (Cricket) screen

Okay, there doesn't seem to be too much info on this phone, but here's the issue:

A friend has a Cricket ZTE Z755, given to her by a cricket employee/friend. Said employee put in my friends SIM card into the phone, and now it only starts, shows the ZTE Powered by Android screen, then the Cricket Screen and then freezes. I CAN access the Recovery Menu, and through that I was able to factory reset the phone. How can I fix this for my friend so that she can have a phone again?
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
Flashing stock firmware will overwrite your recovery with the stock one so no need.

Since its a new phone and likely doesn't have too much data in there flashing stock ROM would be my first choice.

Hey I installed USB drivers and connected my phone then also it says usb not recognised
[General Questions and Answers] star_sprite:
​

I know absolutely nothing about this phone. I've only ever rooted one phone before, and it was a Galaxy 6s. I didn't know the brand ZTE existed before May. Please, can you direct me to where I can find the stock ROM, and can I put it on an micro SD card and flash (install) from there? Also, do I need to remove her SIM card before or does it matter?
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
I've had a lot of guys contact me for help after trying flashify to flash recovery(made for their phone) through it and getting softbricks.flashify works sometimes but sometimes gives result like this which isn't that surprising given that the app is trying to something that we used to with PC earlier.so apart from the wrong .IMG files this could be a bug that should be reported to its developers so they can make their app more stable.

Wrong thread man , read the replies I've given to the other guy and see if you can find out something usefull ,I have pointed out some threads that could be usefull

Don't know much about this phone model either,flashing stock ROM is a general answer,I couldn't find much about this phone but will update when I find something usefull

And sim card don't usually cause soft brick/bootloop in phones.

Can you clarify here ,the phone was working okay before putting on the sim card?

Does the phone make it pass the carrier logo if no sim card is inserted.
[General Questions and Answers] star_sprite:
To answer your first question, the phone was working okay until Cricket employee put SIM card in, because said employees was using the phone first. Not sure what happened in between then and now. My friend said that the recovery menu was on the phone when the cricket friend gave it to her.

The answer to your second question: it seems to not matter if the SIM is in at restart, it still gets stuck on carrier screen. I even left the battery out on the hope that it would miraculously do something. Alas, it was all for naught.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you tried booting the device with SIM in then after it boots to system remove the SIM then reinsert it and see what happens. Try booting without the SIM in then insert after it boots into system.

Can you verify that your IMEI is intact?
[General Questions and Answers] star_sprite:
I have no idea how to verify if the IMEI is intact or not. And, this phone has a removable battery, that I must open in order for me to get the SIM card out. So, whether the SIM is in the phone or not, either will result in a system restart.

Also, something else weird: the phone only turns on if it's plugged in....
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It will show your IMEI in system settings>about phone.

Where is your SIM located relative to the battery? Is it behind the battery or is it around the edge of the battery and can't be removed because the edge of the battery is in the way? If is just that the edge is in the way you can put something thin but rigid between the battery and the SIM and insert the SIM while keeping whatever you put between between them, make sure you don't cover the contacts for the SIM with what you use between them but also don't let it slip from between them. With this you can boot with the SIM in and if you need to you can remove the SIM, the thin piece you put between them will keep the SIM from getting trapped by the battery and you should be able to use your finger to slide it out past the battery. I'm not saying that removing then reinserting SIM is gonna do anything but its a troubleshooting step just to see what happens.

It seems that somehow the employee corrupted something, I don't know what it could have been or how it happened.

I think flashing the original stock firmware would fix this, you probably need to do that anyway since it will only power on when plugged in.

[General Questions and Answers] star_sprite:
I have absolutely no way that I know of to get to the system settings. Phone doesn't go past carrier screen.

The SIM slides into a slot and then the battery goes in, so kinda like they're flush with each other. I have pulled out the sim, put in the SIM, and then restarted the phone. It didn't do anything different.

How can I put the stock rom on it?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OK, let's back up here.

Is the phone a Cricket phone and is the SIM a Cricket SIM? Is the device originally a Cricket device or was the device activated on Cricket from another carrier? Do you know if there was anything flashed on the device before you or your friend got it?

I'm not seeing how the device could work fine but inserting a SIM caused it to develop this issue. It just doesn't make sense for diagnosing your issue. I've never heard of inserting a SIM causing bootloop, the issues you describe sound like corrupted data or something was flashed on the device that wasn't exactly right for it.
[General Questions and Answers] star_sprite:
Both. The SIM is a Cricket SIM and the phone is a Cricket phone. As far as I know, nothing was flashed on the phone prior to my friend receiving the phone. I thought it was really odd, too, that the SIM would cause that type of corruption. At this point, I'm pretty sure that the SIM is a moot point. What can I do to fix it? Is there anything I can do?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
My previous suggestion of flashing the stock firmware would be a good start just to verify that your software is completely correct.

Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

Or

"Stock firmware for (your model number)"
[General Questions and Answers] Mablemae:
Valid question. The answer is no. The difficulty lies in my limited free time and pc access. I haven't been doing this long enough to understand what I'm looking for in a ROM, so it took me an eternity to decide on this one. That's why I overlooked the date it was posted. Also, once I downloaded and made sure it worked, I deleted the old ROM info to free up space on my SD card. In short, I'm just wanting to get by until my work schedule allows me enough free time to research and understand enough to update. Thank you for your time, though
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ouch, never delete a stock nandroid backup, they are too important, more important than anything else you put on your device, whether you ever use the backup or not. Next time(there will be a next time with your next device), if you want to free space you can move the backup to another storage medium somewhere for safe keeping.

The reason I asked is because you don't necessarily have to use that ROM, you can use another one. What are you looking for in a ROM? If you have custom recovery(TWRP/CWM), all you need to do is download another ROM and a Gapps package to go with the ROM then boot to recovery, do the wipes and factory reset in recovery, then flash the ROM then Gapps then reboot and get signed back in and setup the device and you're good.

[General Questions and Answers] Mablemae:
I pretty much got the jist of it, and I thought I had a backup. I just didn't know how to put the backup back lol. I may even still have it. I put stock on one exSD card and the new one on another, but I think the issue is that TWRP will only install zips, and I don't have or don't know if I have anything to convert what I saved. Idk why I'm so scared of all this, anyway.

As far as what I'm looking for, I couldn't say because I don't even know what the options are to find them. So far, the only thing this one has that I understand is color and icon changing options for various items. There's plenty of stuff about governors and pie and temperatures, etc. that I haven't the first clue about. I am intimidated by the sheer volume of information in these forums since don't know what I want in order to search in the right places.

Thanks to people like you for even humoring my questions. I hate that I have to ask as much as people here hate to answer. I'll keep studying so that one day, maybe I'll have enough knowledge to help someone in my situation [emoji780] [emoji780] [emoji780] [emoji310]

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can find the stock nandroid backup and get back on the extsd in the phone, you don't have to convert it, all you do is boot to recovery, select Restore, then go to the folder the backup is stored in and select it, it will restore that backup and you'll be back everything you had when you made the backup.

Ok so I'm thinking of building some ROMs for my S5/A5 but I run windows. What's best kitchen to use to build cm/aosp ROMs from source with that's up to date
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
When you already downloaded the image just choose flash recovery and choose the already downloaded file, when Flashify asks for downloading it seems more like it tries to get some files from its repository..

A good way to learn is to watch a video on YouTube on how to proceed correctly..

In my experience NOT every image file is flashable via flashify, is best to make a Google search on your desired recovery + flashify, some posts do particularly mention flashify as a way to install..

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What have you flashed on the device? What modifications have you done before this happened?

Sometimes battery gets out of calibration or gets "hung" somewhere between charging cycles and/or power up/power down sequence, or the battery dies with it "hung" in the cycle and won't initiate a charge cycle or allow the device to power on even when connected to charger.

Remove the battery and let it sit for a while then reinsert the battery and let it charge for at least 10 minutes then see if it boots or responds.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Was it a lollipop OTA update? If so, its because lollipop has considerably more background processes than previous android versions.

Use a different browser, use a lightweight/fast browser that doesn't have all the bell and whistle features.

It's Google's fault, this is a common issue for many devices. Google has somewhat corrected it in later versions. It's usually Google Play Services always running causing this, its Google being nosey gathering information on your usage, they claim its to improve search results it gives you and to improve their ability to suggest other things you might be interested in but really it's them gathering information for marketing and advertising so 3rd party advertisers can make more money on you if they can get your attention with a product or service.

If you're using the device while its charging, that also produces excessive heat.
[General Questions and Answers] karasahin:
Yes it was a Lollipop OTA update. Not from KitKat to Lollipop kind of update or vice versa though. Within Lollipop. Playing games are even worse. I can feel the both rear and front become hot. It used to be lukewarm even when playing games. Couldn't figure out what happened.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you tried booting to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache? Not sure it will help but if there's anything extraneous hanging around, that would get rid of it. Or you can try factory resetting and reinstalling your app.

Also, if you have Facebook app and Facebook Messenger or any other social media/texting app(WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat, etc...), these kinds of apps are very demanding and cause major lag/glitchy and heat because they are constantly scanning and updating notifications and feed, its worse the more of those apps you have installed.

Yes even did try factory data reset too. Did flash whole stock rom via Odin as well.

I have those apps installed but I optimize them via Smart Manager except Whatsapp to make sure they don't constantly scanning and updating as you described.
