If tweaking the ROM and OCing the processor had done the tricks for me, i'd still be having my nexus 9 in my bag. Inspite of using similar tweaks to the kernel, my nexus 9 was a disaster. Also the cost of a nexus 9 and ipad air 2 (considering prices through the playstore and apple store) differ just by 6k. My only concern, for the 30k odd money I'm paying for the device, the performance for basic operation like browsing or media consumption for a atleast a short while should be flawless. HTC and Google just killed competition and made Apple's a cakewalk in the 9 inch variant!
[Nexus 9 General] i9100g user:
Looks like I have had a brain fart about the price [emoji15] but still I couldn't find the price to be less than 36k anywhere for 16gb wifi over the net( any links you got?)

As for the tablet maybe you had hard luck or maybe I had good luck?

I can virtually present you with any data statistically ( screen sot , standby , game benchmarks , browser benchmarks ) to prove the point that I am not making things up [emoji6]

On the other hand iPad air 2 is indeed a more refined product .Just one glance and you can tell iPad 2 looks way better than n9 but then again everything else than design and QC (which I do not have) is similar in my experience (except for iOS vs Android part which is highly debatable).

My point being our experiences are completely different so let's just agree to disagree and let this remain a nexus 9 thread focusing on improving the device itself.
[Nexus 9 General] valentine86:
I aint here to argue either. As a dedicated nexus/android lover, I'd just like to put forth that Nexus 9, although great on paper, fails to deliver!

[Nexus 9 General] avinashdelhi900:
Hi.. I bought nexus 9 32 gb lte from Paytm, the same seller as of Flipkart.

It's Jan 2015 manufactured and black in color.

Everything is running fine , no hardware issue or lightbleed however it's HEATING TOO MUCH.

Even on browsing chrome its getting heated up, reaches 50 c . should I return/replace it or its same with everyone.

Planning to buy an amzer cover..

Please reply soon. Have very less day if I would have to return
[Nexus 9 General] valentine86:
Before you opt to keep it, call HTC support and verify if your nexus warranty is valid when purchased through flipkart or paytm . The heating issue is a prevalent one and please do try to get this sorted by a replacement or refund!
[Nexus 9 General] avinashdelhi900:
Thanks for your suggestion, it seems HTC are giving warranty to only amazon purchase. They clearly denied Paytm purchase and same would happen to Flipkart purchase too.

I have mailed Paytm and let's see what happens next.

Hey Guys, I'm planning to purchase the Nexus 9 (having a budget of Rs 25k approx). I have a few questions:

Do the most recent models from Flipkart and Amazon have the lightbleed, heating and button issues?

Any ideas of discounts that I can avail?

Has anyone purchased the Origami Cover from the play store, or a cheap knockoff? How is it?

Can I make induvidual users on the tablet for my Family? I guess 5.0 has that feature.

Waiting on your replies to confirm my purchase. :D

Also, any other Android tablets I can purchase if not the Nexus 9?
[Nexus 9 General] sheenswizner:
I recently bought nexus 9 from flipkart for 26k 32gb model lte. I think cheapest price available till now on flipkart.

Flipkart provide latest build nexus 9(2015) not old 2014 buid model where buttons are under bazel.

No lightbleed found.

Heating issue fixed in latest update.

I checked warranty from HTC aswell which is OK.
[Nexus 9 General] kkapoorr:
Thanks for that mate.

Also [MENTION=3604602]inderlover[/MENTION] can you tell me how I can check the warranty with HTC? And who was the seller on Flipkart from whom you bought it?
[Nexus 9 General] avinashdelhi900:
Bought it from Paytm (around 21k for 32gb LTE)

HT515 series.. So latest build.. No light bleed, perfect keys, no heating issue on custom ROM, on stock temp reached up to 50°C

International warranty denied by HTC, but I can avail Indian warranty at any service centre.
[Nexus 9 General] kkapoorr:
Thanks for all that info mate!

Few questions:

1) How was the delivery experience with Paytm?

2) How did you verify the warranty with HTC?

3) Does purchasing from the Google Play Device Store or Amazon give us international warranty too along with local?

4) Can you link me to the tablet page?

Thanks in advance! [emoji3] [emoji2]
[Nexus 9 General] sheenswizner:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickt78:
So here's the story.

I have a Note 3 I acquired that was in pretty rough shape. According to the person that gave it to me, they had tried to flash a rom that was unstable and crashed the device causing a boot loop he couldn't recover from. So he reported it lost and got a new one.

The first thing I tried was installing stock firmware using odin. This at least allowed the phone to fully boot up. But, it would still restart after about 10 mins of usage. The next thing I tried was flashing TWRP on to the phone and doing a complete wipe of the phone. Then I flashed the stock firmware using odin.

This has brought the phone more or less back to a usable state. However, there are new problems.

The phone reboots at random. Usually after being on for an hour or longer. Also, the phone won't power down. When I long press the power button and select power off, the screen shows that it's powering down. The phone stays on the power down screen for about 2 mins then the phone reboots.

I've tried a factory reset and reflashing the stock firmware.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n.N.n.:
Before the 38R update I had my bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery flashed and the device rooted. I did all of this via a toolkit and it worked fine. After I did the 38R OTA update my device lost its root (so far nothing unusual). So I tried to boot into recovery to just install the superuser zip again. But my custom recovery was gone. Instead there was just the standard cyanogenmod recovery. Back to my PC I tried to reinstall the TWRP but it just won`t work. I tried the toolkit, I tried the guide from here (command line and fastboot), I unlocked the bootloader again and repeated these steps, but so far I can`t install a custom recovery (tried TWRP and CWM). When using the command line there is no error message, it just finishes "successful"

Here is the log:

C:\tmp\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And before anyone asks, I did uncheck the update CM recovery option ^^

Does anyone have a solution to my problem ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
do you reboot into recovery when done or straight to OS
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n.N.n.:
The guide says to unlock bootloader, reboot to os, change settings, flash recovery, reboot, root.

But after your input, I did try it without the complete reboot and it worked. But shouldn`t a flashed recovery be persistant?

Edit: Did a second reboot, now there is the stock recovery again =/ But the root persisted.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorkelJensen:
[Q] Cannot enter recovery after flash of TWRP

My situation is similar to the one described by nNn. I have just received my 1+1 64GB which automatically updated to 38R. I have tried to use the following sequence to install the TWRP recovery image:

- Installed SDK Toolekit r23.0.2-windows

- Installed the SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.5.33.0

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot oem unlock

- Activated Developer options and unchecked 'Update CM recovery'

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-bacon.img (the log looked OK)

- fastboot reboot (device opens normally)

- adb reboot recovery

The device just displays the Android [1+] logo, which turns blue and then fades away. There is no way I can enter into recovery mode - PowerOn + Volume down gives the same result.

I have also tried to flash other version of TWRP, Philtz, CWM, and Stock-recovery, but they all cause the phone to freeze in the Anroid [1+] logo when I try to enter recovery mode.

I have seen many reports about TWRP not replacing the Stock-recovery, but nobody seems to have exactly my problem.

Anybody any suggestions?

Yes, I have tried both TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.7.1.1 and Stock-recovery.img from 2008-12-31 - they all freeze in Android prompt when I try to boot in recovery mode. The only difference being, that only TWRP 2.8.0.1 causes the prompt to tyrn blue and then fade away.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habnzrot:
Try this to get to TWRP... with the TWRP installed, go to Setting, Developer Options then ticked the box on the "Advanced reboot". Long pressed "Power button" then "Reboot" this will give you option to reboot to "recovery". Hope this work for you. Goodluck.

Re: can't flash a recovery that will work

Hey.

I've been trying to flash a recovery to my OPO ever since I got it a few days ago. None of those I'd see in these threads would work: I've tried all recent versions of TWRP, CWM and Philz's I could find but nothing.

Something came to my mind a bit later upon reading some other thread about rooting without wiping (which is mostly unrelated) in which I'd read that you should enter recovery by pressing VolDown+Power all the while you're on the fastboot low-light screen. It did ring a bell to me: I'd been entering recovery after booting normally at least once. I'd never been to recovery straight from the fastboot screen. So I tried flashing all those TWRP, CWM again and none worked.

Except that now the latest version of Philz's touch recovery worked this time: I flashed it through fastboot, and went straight from fastboot screen to recovery (I didn't try to reboot or shut it off) with VolDown+Power. It worked this time. And I can access recovery normally through the reboot section of the OS (with the advanced options). Tried to post the link to the specific recovery image that worked for me but it seems I don't have enough posts. Version is 6.57.8 bacon, you should find it in the philz touch goo.im website

I'm definitely not qualified enough to know what could cause this. And I wouldn't even know if this particular process will work with your device. Keep me posted in any case.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesman:
Try erasing the recovery before flashing it (see bellow).

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery (filename).

If that fails try another usb cable/port. If all else fails try another pc....
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorkelJensen:
Success, finally

Thanks a lot driftt - Finally I manged to boot into recovery following your recipe. First I tried with the TWRP-2.8.0.1, flashing it and directly trying to boot into revery via Power+Volume down - no luck. Then I flashed the Filz-6.57.8 image obtained from //goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/bacon/ and low and behold I could now boot into recovery as you had also experienced. I'm now the happy owner of a rooted 1+1, but it is still a mystery why the process is so shaky.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Thanks milesman, but as you can see from the post above, the using the Philz image was successful. However, your suggestions may help other people, since the process really seems not to be robust.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Night5talker:
had same issue

goto settings > dev options > uncheck update CM recovery

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padalada:
I've had my OPO for a couple of weeks now and have had this problem all along. It took until today that i found this thread with someone having the exact same problem as me. After flashing a LOT of different recoveries (and different versions) I too noticed the only recovery I could successfully enter is Philz (although not all versions). I would prefer TWRP as recovery, but as long as I have one that is working that's good enough! It does however annoy me that almost nobody else has this problem. It makes me believe there is something wrong with the device. Flashing recovery in fastboot is always successful according to the logs. Erasing recovery in fastboot before flashing new one did not solve the problem either.

Before unlocking the bootloader, installing recovery and rooting, I updated the device from 33R to 38R. I now regret not doing that before updating...

I uploaded two videos showing the artifacts. The videos were recorded right after installing openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-bacon.img from goo.im.

Since I haven't posted that much on XDA before I wasn't allowed to post links, please copy and paste.

After installing Custom Recovery (mine id TWRP), turn off the handphone. After that, do directly the boot to recovery (On/Off Button + Volume Down). DO NOT do the normal start, since the system will erase the custom recovery (and instal the "standard" recovery)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcn1112:
Agreed, worked for me too

This had been melting my brain for a while too, similar to others, followed several guides, tried command line and OPO toolbox but stock recovery kept coming back.

Eventually got into TWRP and immediately flashed SU too. Not sure if that was what made the difference, but when I rebooted into the system and then back into recovery, TWRP seems to have stuck.

Pretty peeved though as I always had "Update Cyanogen Recovery" set to false, so why the CM12 OTA update decided to put stock recovery in the first place is beyond me.

Anyway, phone back in my control, thanks as ever to the crowds on here for finding fixes to problems I haven't had yet. :D

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ymansky_ph:
turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power.

Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* Remember that this file should be placed in the platform-tools folder inside of the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.

Open a new command prompt and run the following commands:

Code:

cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once the flash has completed reboot your phone directly to recovery mode by holding volume up + power..

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t52:
what worked for me....

I also couldn't flash recovery after updating to the latest ota update.

What worked for me is either one or the combination of the following two steps:

1. Erasing recovery before fishing it by issuing "fastboot erase recovery" before flashing it.

2. Going directly to recovery from bootloader mode by pressing volume down and power

Hope that will help others too.

hey guys,

Well I got the same problem I was dealing with this for about 8 hours without progress until I found this post.

I tried with diferent computers, many drivers and stuff, nothing works. It wasnt a new process for me since I done that in the past for mine and other 6 phones.

It looks like eventhough you disable the CM recovery update it apply the stock once you restart the phone.

I followed the suggestions here so basically i star the phone on fastboot mode:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

UNPLUG THE PHONE

TURN OF by pressing off bottom for some minutes.

Power + Volume up.

And voila, TWRP start as expected :D

Hope this works for anyone else!

I was on CM12 with Cyanogen Recovery and I move to Temasek, AK Kernel and TWRP.
