Guys, use this modified boot image to flash the newest Android L (5.0.0_LRX21P)

Flash in Bootloader (this is not a flashable zip)!!!!

Flash the stock root able rom, here available on xda.

Don't worry it's for our FLO device, just a name. Sorry, i was in a hurry.

Have fun
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] adellon92:
Whats modified about it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Jerome-X:
use this, if you want to flash the stock rooted rom via twrp etc...

if you use the stock one, your bootloader is locked after flash the stock rom
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] topgeardave:
Incorrect mate, it's still unlocked after flashing factory images. I flashed factory files yesterday and I only lost root and recovery which I expected to happen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Correct!

Op tell me exactly what you did here? Your talking about one thing but saying another. I dont get it :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] topgeardave:
It's just the latest bootloader.img, he thinks if you flash it separately you won't lock your bootloader before flashing the stock rom via recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] AarSyl:
To my knowledge, nothing locks the bootloader, except you (via fastboot or a toolkit).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Kongslien:
So i can install the stock image i downloaded from google and still keep root? What about recovery?

Sorry for noob question, i've only used custom ROMs in the past.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] gardobus:
If you flash the stock L image with fastboot, you lose root and recovery but your boot loader stays locked/unlocked (whatever it was before).

To get recovery back, just flash it with fastboot.

To get root back, flash the boot image from the OP or a modified kernel like ElementalX and then flash SuperSU.

Done.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrian:
Hello guys, i got a problem..

If i install/flash something on my m8 like the NextAppSDFix or busybox, my One M8 resets it after i reboot...

The same happened to me with the xposed framework, i had to install it manually... Then it finally worked... But it doesnt work with busybox or the nextgen sd fix or changing bootanimations....

Someone knows that problem and can help me out? Because flashing doesn't makes fun when it does reset after every reboot... Need help!

I'm running the leaked version of the Cingular rom and while I know this isn't final I was kinda hoping that some things would get fixed. One of them being the missing email problem.

After a few hours receiving a email it just disappears into thin air!!!!! and yes I have it set to always show emails no matter how old they are..

Where are my emails going? I want to keep ALL my emails until I decide to delete them..

Anyone got any suggestions? I have tried everything and nothing works..

This is still an issue with me also. Using a verizon pop3 account.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] debonairone:
Incorrect Settings...??

In order to help, we need to know what pop account you are using... for instance, I had this problem with Gmail messages disappearing after a couple of hours to a day... found out that there is a non published setting that appears when using the phone's auto config feature... Let me explain...

when setting up the pop3 account for gmail, the settings are as included on their website... problem is that I have my outlook connected at home and constantly checking messages, and is configured to leave messages on server.... But with the other machine pulling the messages, for some reason they disappear on my TyTN even though I have it set to grab messages for the last 7 days...

what the auto config feature has done was to add "recent:" without the quotes in front of my account name, so it reads "recent:username@gmail.com"... Once that was done, my messages stopped automatically disappearing... Try it, what do you have to lose that you haven't lost already...

The first setup I edited out the "recent" and had the disappearing mail problem - I deleted that email account and ran the setup again leaving the "recent:" text in and bingo my Gmail works as it should on my P3600i.

Thanks for the tip.

PS. The only bug now is that the mail that I sent also appears in the Inbox - is there a way to correct this?
[HTC One X] haydude:
I have had this phone for only three days and I believe I read everything and anything I could google about it.

My understanding so far is that S-OFF for the Tegra 3 chip was being researched but the thread I found with most history stopped around March 2014. Then nothing.

Please could anybody let me know if S-OFF is achievable and how to?
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
No . and even if you have a s-off device that's still nothing since all ROMs here don't have scripts to flash the boot.IMG so you have to do it manually.

At this moment the only way to get s-off is by using a golden card
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
When I obtained the Lollipop image for the 2012 Wifi Nexus 7 (nakasi-lrx21p-factory-93daa4d3.tgz), I didn't want to lose my user data nor all the files on my media partition (TiBu backups, etc), so I unzipped all the images and flashed them manually so that it wouldn't erase the userdata partition.

First, I attempt to flash the bootloader, but using stupid auto-complete in the command window, I accidentally flashed boot.img instead of bootloader-grouper-4.23.img to the bootloader partition. I immediately saw what I did and panicked. I didn't reboot and then I tried to flash bootloader-grouper-4.23.img. Everytime that happens, this is what I get:

writing 'bootloader'...

FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))

finished. total time: 0.433s

rebooting into bootloader...

I decided to just go ahead and continue flashing everything else and it all seemed to be fine. I booted into Lollipop without any issues.

However, I was having some performance issues, so I decided to backup my media partition and go ahead and reflash it, having it wipe everything. This time, I used the enclosed flash-all.bat script and I noticed I still get the "InvalidState" when attempting to write to the bootloader.

When I flashed the boot.img to the bootloader partition, did I screw something up? Or, is there something wrong with the image Google provided and it's nothing to worry about?

I was able to install TWRP and root it, so obviously, there isn't that much of an issue, but I'm just wondering if everyone else is getting this message?

I am using the correct factory image from Google: nakasi-lrx21p-factory-93daa4d3.tgz

Thanks for any help with this. I guess I don't have anything to worry about since it flashes everything else fine and boots up, but I would like to make sure.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clandestinique:
I got the same 'Invalid State' error that you did although I didn't accidentally flash anything else.. I just ran through the ./flash-all.sh script and it just straightup failed while trying to flash the bootloader.. and then it just barreled ahead and deleted my recovery partition + everything else haha. So now I'm in a state where I can't boot at all, not even into recovery @_@

Sorry, that was no help haha, just wanted to let you know that I've seen the Invalid State error as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
I had that when I did a fastboot install of lollipop. Just ignored it and moved on as version was identical anyway
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenninja:
I had this same problem. What I ended up doing was downloading the Nexus Root Kit and then using that to flash the individual files and it worked fine for me. Though, now I got to figure out how to get the system to know there are actually 16GB of storage and not 6GB.

Edit: I found out what needed to be done. I just needed to do a factory reset.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Thanks. I knew about that one on previous releases. I just wasn't sure if it was the same issue.

Nice to know it's nothing to worry about, but I just about had a heart attack when I realized that I flashed boot.img to the bootloader (or at least tried) and I wasn't sure if I had just perma-bricked my Nexus.

Thank goodness it didn't. I'm sure there are some safeguards from allowing that from happening and it's probably more it I were to flash something else to the boot partition that would cause an issue.

Anyways, thanks for the reminder.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveRiley:
Well, when I first saw the error about the failed flash to the bootloader partition, I actually did flash the bootloader image to the boot partition. That appeared to work just fine -- no error, and the process finished with a success message. This would have most certainly rendered the OS unbootable, but it wouldn't have bricked the device. That's when I reminded myself that "boot" is not equivalent to "bootloader"! So I reflashed the correct bits to the boot partition.

Hello all! I have a nexus 5 which has been previously rooted -- likely, poorly-- and must return to a factory state before updating to the 4.4 in my notifications.

Upon further research, it appears as though I may be able to jump straight to 5.0

This is my first rooting/flashing experience. I'm fairly tech savvy, so naturally, I've read through a few step-by-steps and now assume that I can do this.

I'm looking at Google's nexus images and attempting to follow their step-by-step and am stuck at the point of flash-all ... I don't seem to have a bat file.

How to find new apps?

Hi,

Just wondering if there is an efficient way to search for new apps. I have 3 issues:

1. Interested in anything new just developed that may not have been available the last time I checked

2. Still searching for an app that allows me to control ppt slides on my laptop that are being projected.

3. After finding an app that I searched for, the app is being displayed with the header:"about 2 results" even though only 1 app is displayed. What is that about?

For issue 1 I have been going to the Gear Manager>Samsung Gear apps>Top>sort by new.

That shows me 300 apps. Is that really all there is? Using the category tab is not that useful, since you can't sort by date and many apps show up in pretty much all categories. I thought there were over 1000 apps available? So where are they?

For issue 2, I have tried PreGear, but it required download of additional programs and admin password, which I don't have for my work laptop. Someone suggested a YouTube video that promoted an app capped Air PPT for Samsung Gear S, but no matter how I searched for it, I can't find it in the Gear store and the video did not provide info on how to get it. Any other ideas as to this type of app? Is there another place to find apps for my Gear S besides the Gear manager?

Issue 3 is just plain irritating. If this is caused by something I am doing, would be good to know, because right now it feels like the gear store itself has no clue as to how many apps it has...
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
The Gear app store will only show the apps that are compatible with the watch that you have connected, so you won't see all the apps. It works differently to the Play Store. It's probably also the reason you get the weird search results. It's sloppy I agree.

Or use the cell data to transmit watch's gps coordinates. Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] bennie joe:
Best app for Gear S during the holidays

So I have been a disappointed with the available apps in the. Gear App Store.

But then I thought about it, what is it I really would want to use it for?

I am not playing games on a tiny screen ever, so what is left.

Some app developers have added calendars, calculators, etc.

I have not needed to use a tiny calculator in the month I have had it. And add another calendar? I already have all my appointments in my original one, why would I want to move them all?

I downloaded the "find my car" app hoping it would help me remember where I parked in a oversized parking lot. I may not have understood what the app does or used it incorrectly, but recording myself saying where I parked is not what I thought it would do.

The #1 app I have used the last few days preparing for Thanksgiving was the timer!

My kitchen timer is in the stove and not very loud, in the past I have often missed it. Now my watch tells me when to take stuff out of the oven, can't miss that - awesome!

I know this is early in the wearable ś game, but I truly love my smart watch.

IMHO, developers need to rethink what types of apps people may use with this.

Golf apps would be great, and I really want to control my work power point slides without having to install additional programming on my work laptop - my IT department would never let me do that.

Direct interactions with corporate expense reporting - e.g. An interface with my mileage reports for work by speaking into my gear - now would that not be awesome? I get to an appointment, glance at my mileage driven and say Hi Gear, mileage report: 15 miles to abc... And once a month it generates a spreadsheet to be imported into my expense report!

We are still quite a bit off from being able to do what I would like it to do...but all you app developers out there, I think if you really want to make money on your apps, focus on productivity, not watch faces, games or other "fun" things...

In the meantime, I have started contacting all phone apps I like to start supporting Tizen for the Gear S, but with very little positive news.

My fitness pal (love that app) has no current plans to include the Gear S in the near future, the other apps don't even respond.

If more people contact their favorite apps, perhaps there is hope in the near future to have a great looking App Store before my watch is obsolete, without ever having used it to its fullest potential!
