[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erislover:
Dude, you are NOT alone. (But, yes, wrong section...LOL).

My pearls of wisdom for you, from one noob to another:

Get used to using adb. Basically, install fastboot and adb (you'll see reference to these in the guides linked in the posts above), and you run adb through your cmd window. Whatever files (zip/img) you need to push to the m8, place those in your adb folder and then just run your command window from that folder...makes things really easy.

Also, if you try to get all fancy and convert your m8 into the GPE m8 (which is what I did), I'm pretty sure the standard OTAs you'll get upon reboot break your root (and recovery), so just keep that in mind. I was planning on letting the phone auto-update to lollipop, but I think I'd prefer having the tweaks from custom roms, so I'm here now scoping those out.

If you have any questions, though, feel free to PM me, and I'll do my best to help! I agree, though, that for non-coders, the m8 modding is more intimidating than the modding was for other phones I've owned :)

just thought i would throw it out there that you can forget about using a right angled otg usb cable. i just unboxed my nexus player and was excited to hook up my ethernet adapter. grabbed my right angled otg cable (only 1 i have) and failed miserbly, stupid hdmi cable. thank god for prime.

just thought i'd throw that tidbit out there to maybe save others some time/frustration

was thinking OTG and hub , but what about a together ?

getting my nexus player tomorrow , and realized i only own right angle OTG , considering the below OTG/hub , i know it requires a power adaptor , but i am a junky for ports and power .

any owners see a issue with this ?

[Nexus Player General] Elrondolio:
A good powered hub is near a must for a device like the NP as there are so many uses for peripherals: hard drives, keyboards, mice, USB keys, Flirc IR controller, usb ethernet, etc. I highly suggest getting a decent powered hub with a lot of ports and a good track record. Monoprice sells a pretty good powered 7 port unit that has great reviews (I have four all over my home) and is relatively cheap:

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10307&cs_id=1030702&p_id=5328&seq=1&format=2

The hub you were looking at above is limited to 3 ports and doesn't come with an a/c adapter. I'd look elsewhere, imho.
[Nexus Player General] nimdae:
So far I have had good results with a bus powered hub. Granted, it's not going to work for a bus powered power hungry accessory, such as an external hard drive. But it powers my wireless dongle for my F710 and a USB flash drive just fine.
[Nexus Player General] xBIGREDDx:
I've noticed my Logitech K400 had some pretty bad range issues when the receiver was connected directly to an OTG cable, but when I use a powered hub it's working great. So, it may be worth considering, if you notice any problems with an unpowered setup.

[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this one and it works great. I broke my rightangled one trying to force it to fit with the hdmi plugged in...glad they are not expensive.
[Nexus Player General] CrustyMcLovin:
I bought my right angled USB OTG before I got the unit and also had some trouble getting it in there. The problem was that the power cord was in the way. I resolve it by simply plugging the USB OTG in first and then inserting the power cord.
[Nexus Player General] unknownprotocols:
30 seconds with a razor blade, and I simply cut away the right angled part all together, and hot glued it into a straight otg
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
You are lucky because yours bends towards the power cord and not the HDMI cable like mine did...there was no way of having both installed at the same time.
[Nexus Player General] CrustyMcLovin:
Ahh yeah... makes sense.

This is the one I purchased.

[Sprint LG G2] dndake97:
Okay, so I have the Sprint LG G2 and I currently have the 4.4.2 update with LS980ZVE and everything I have tried to root my phone has failed. Towel-root says my phone isn't supported, stump-root says my phone is already rooted but its not which is confirmed by root-checker. I have tried iOroot and that failed. Another program failed because of my ADB bull**** and I don't even know how to get it to work on my computer. Could really use some help whether it be downgrading( tried to do by myself with LG Flash tool which also failed ) so anything that could point me in the right direction or tutorials would be great.
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
Ok so after you use stump root did you restart phone and install SU from the store? This is something that has to be done for you to gain root access.

edit: Use these steps here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56584296&postcount=153, this is what I did and it worked flawlessly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Garrett11:
Hi all, I recently rooted my Verizon galaxy s4 i545vrufng6 4.4.2 and ever since I did I have had some issues. The way I did it was by flashing the ng5 kernel and using towelroot then reflashing ng6. After I did that my wifi was stuck on the dull green light but I read on a forum on how to fix that by going into the system and deleting one of the wifi files. After I did that everything worked fine for a few days! Then I went out of state and when I got on the airplane my phone was put on airplane mode, by the time I landed and took off airplane mode wifi wouldn't work at all. I tried to do the same thing I did earlier but it didn't work. Matter of fact, i cannot even find that file anymore Wifi will no longer even go dull green, i can hit it as many times as I want and it will stay in the off position. I thought if I flashed a custom rom it would restart the wifi, so I looked up how to install cyanogenmod and followed the YouTube vid from wwjoshdew (30minute). I didn't get through the whole thing because when my phone restarted it had an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the Samsung start up logo and when it went into recovery mode it came up with a yellow triangle saying that system software is not authorized by Verizon wireless. I can boot it up normally or I can go into download mode but I can't access recovery mode meaning I cannot do a factory reset. I took it to Verizon and they said they couldn't help me cuz I void the warranty. If anyone could please help me get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Sooooo.... you soft bricked your phone by flashing an unsupported ROM on your particular firmware. Cynanogenmod or ANY OTHER pure AOSP Rom is not compatible with firmwares later than MDK. Don't do that again.

You need to flash one of these http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 in Odin. Instructions are in the thread. You are going to be downgrading back to NC5 (the firmware version before NG6). This may fix your wifi issues as well.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have downloaded the full wipe and have unzipped it. When i try to put it in Odin it says "md5 error! Binary is invalid" i cannot continue to start the process because of this.

Thanks so much for everything. I got it passed in Odin and everything is working this far :). One last question, will I be able to root without it messing up again? Id love to have my phone rooted but if it means it wont work while rooted i would rather have it just be able to work regularly

Thanks for everything!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Towelroot.com will work for you as far as root goes as long as you stay on NC5 firmware. Just download the APK, install it and go into the app to "make it rain"...profit.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khawaja00:
zoomingrocket,

Did you find any more information on this? I bought an xt1064 on the mistaken data up on gsmarena that the US GSM version supported 2100 in addition to 1700, but now it turns out that it doesn't. I'm no longer in the US, so I can't exchange it. I've searched around for other ways to activate the 2100 band on the xt1064 but haven't found anything. Have you? Have you tried the steps in the link you posted?

Thanks.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khawaja00:
Update

For anyone interested, I did go through the steps in the OP's link on my xt1064, with the exception of step 34 which explicitly requires root (mine is not rooted yet, running 5.0.1), and it did NOT unlock the 2100 band for me. So either the tweak isn't effective without root or the radio simply does not support the 2100 band. zoomingrocket, I noticed that you asked in the other thread if root was necessary for it to work. So it sounds like you're in the same situation as I am. I also searched the longer thread (the one not specific to moto G) for anyone who got it to work without root, but I didn't find anything definite. I'm hesitant to try to root now since some people have been having problems doing it on the xt1064, but according to this thread ChainFire has ordered an xt1064 to try to work on a stable root: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/xt1064-lollipop-root-t2938051/page11. If you do root it by the other method and try unlocking the band, it would be great if you'd post the results, whether the 2100 band works or not (and I'll do the same if I decide to root either now or after there's a more stable root method). Still holding out hope that it's not a hardware limitation. Thanks!

re-flashing stock firmware helps with fixing it.

ZTE Midnight (Z768G)

Was wondering if anyone has any updates on custom roms, unlocking possibilities, custom recovery etc. Just bought this phone for $5 at 7-11 and thought it may be a nice phone to play around with. So far it's rooted based on other forum posts but since then the project seems to be abandoned?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultravioletnanokitty:
unfortunately, i bricked my phone in a rather silly way. (flashed a test recovery image and discovered that the device will get stuck in a bootloop if its recovery is damaged) if i could get one for $5 here i'd have already bought another! that's a hell of a deal. i was really looking forward to getting something running on this device, but with no viable full flash restore mechanism (that i'm aware of yet) it's a rocky battle.

i don't suppose you'd be willing to purchase another one of these and mail it to me? i can paypal you however much it'd be to buy one (or maybe even two o.o) and ship it, so long as the phone really is only $5. that's a really really appealing price to be able to have a second chance at bringing something interesting to a minimally-supported device!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffmast:
let me check all the stores in my area again...if not i could always send you this one since i originally bought it to play around with and get something working on it to make it decently usable... pretty much more than just talk, possibly even unlock for use on att towers since coverage here is nonexistent on net10. I have a galaxy s5 i just got today which will be my main phone but this one i was mainly just hoping to get running to introduce my mom to smartphones as an xmas gift. With no coverage here on it's current service the thing is kind of useless to me atm anyways. just message me where you want me to mail it and i'll let you know if i'm able to get anything sent out. I probably won't be able to send anything till after black friday since my work schedule interferes with getting to the post office anytime before that. I'd estimate the thing should cost no more than $5 to ship though. if you need the microsd it came with i will leave it in the phone too. its a 4gb card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cathexis:
Did anything ever come of this? I have 6 of these that I would very much like custom ROMs for. If I didn't need all of them I would certainly send you one. I work for 7-11 so guess where I got them and for how much lol. I actually need 10 for a project I am working on, but haven't had any luck finding anymore in my area either. If i do i will be glad to send one. Looks like I quoted the wrong post but you get the point. :fingers-crossed:

Rooting ZTE 768G Tracfone

I've tried KingoRoot for days now. 4 days to be exact. I can't seem to find ANYTHING that will just simply root this phone. I downloaded and tried VRoot now at LEAST a dozen times in the 2 hours I've been working on it this morning.

Is there a way to root a phone using Android Studio?? I mean the program is there to build and work on Android...wouldn't it have some way to root a phone as well?

While on KitKat I was rooted and had Philz recovery. I installed the Lollipop update and lost root but fortunately I still had my recovery.

I did the following to get root on lollipop with writable sdcard and managed to make my device extremely fast/snappy (better than ever)...

0. Download SuperSU v.2.27 zip and copy to sdcard -link- http://download.chainfire.eu/630/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.27.zip

1. Reboot to recovery (No need for unlocking bootloader or changing kernel)

2. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvic/art cache

3. In advanced menu select re-root

4. Now install superSU v.2.27 zip

5. Reboot system and let lollipop boot up

6. Goto settings > Battery > from menu SHIELD Power Control > Change Processor Mode from Optimized to Max Performance

7. Goto settings > Security > Check Unknown sources

8. Download and Install Seeder by LCIS from Play Store, check all options and run on moderate -link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en

9. from Play Store download Remount by Stephen and remount sdcard1 as rw -link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.remount&hl=en

or follow these steps by SuperPichu (see the lockked bootlader section) -link- http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/fix-ext-sd-write-support-2-0-lollipop-t2946250

10. Reboot and Magic!
