What are you using them for? If you want to get dust off the screen then use scotch tape. I usually rip a piece off and make it into a loop because its easier to use like that. If you need a tab to remove the plastic just use your finger nail. I have an extra pack of the Spigen ones in my phone case drawer and I have all kinds of fun things to remove dirt. If you have a camera cleaning kit that will work too. On occasion I will use my LensPen's brush and a duster bulb to get all of the dirt out of the little crevices and speakers.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Karine:
During application of a replacement Spigen SP, if dust gets trapped underneath, can I safely use scotch tape to lift the SP and remove the dust from the sticky underside of the SP, in lieu of the tabs/tape that originally came with the the SPs?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
If you are careful then yes. I would follow the standard of running a hot shower and applying the screen protector in the bathroom so there is no dust in the air. Also make sure to wash your hands before the install it makes a difference. scotch take isn't super strong and yes it will work assuming you have no additional dust to get under the screen protector. I will rarely every adjust mine because you are increasing the chance of dust getting under it that and I change mine monthly because I like the feel of a fresh screen protector.

Quick note: never touch the adhesive on the screen protector because 9/10 times it will make things worse even with the supplied tabs. I would call it a wash and try again in a better dust free environment because its much harder to save the screen protector when you mess with the underside adhesive by touching it with anything.

Used Martin Fields for my iPhones back in the days. Pricey but good

Today i'm using Mediadevil i think the name is: http://www.amazon.com/MediaDevil-Ma...+nexus+6&pebp=1423007772766&peasin=B00PF49H0A

I am an new Nexus 6 owner and have the Orzly plastic protectors (bought from Amazon.ca in February, $7 for 5), and the coverage is pretty good from what I see on this thread. Compare to the Spigen (from pictures on this thread), the width is more or less the same, but it's just ever so slightly shorter on the top/bottom. The proximity/ambient light sensors and camera are not covered. See attached picture (crappy picture taken with a Nexus 9) with a Ringke Fusion case on.

The feel is pretty good, a bit better then cheap screen protectors I have used in the past, but nothing out of the ordinary. No scratches on it yet (1 week in).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I have an orzly and its worthless in my opinion. Its so tiny I didn't even bother installing it. I would rather have more coverage with a plastic one than less with glass. I like the Spigen one (still the best plastic screen protector) and as for glass I've tried 8 different ones now without finding what I want. JC is hit and miss (miss for me everytime), MIME was bad, orzly was worthless, xtreme guard had a halo etc... I'm happy with the Spigen and I even have a spare pack just in case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aa_chow:
My Orzly *is* plastic. I know the glass one is small.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I thought you were talking about the glass one I apologize for the misunderstanding I was confused as to why it was in this OP. Thank you for clarifying it I can be dumb sometimes
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aa_chow:
No problem. But you are right, I should have been more clear. I updated my post above.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thanks I'll look at the pictures more in a bit when I finish this class in in currently. Its a slow lecture day before my exams tomorrow
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Just noticed that I never linked to this post in a more pertinent thread (i.e., here):

I took pictures of my newly-installed Spigen Crystal here, with a later post that links to a video wherein I commented on some holster cases for the Nexus 6, but also showed (and briefly mentioned) the Spigen Crystal on the phone and how it was covered (or not) by those cases.

Overall, I like its size and feel on the phone, especially with my CellBee Life Companion case.

Big Problem with the Spigen Crystal (front / back inverted)

Hi, I just tried to put my Spigen Crystal protection today (after my annua.. daily shower )

To put it very briefly : I have a sticky side when I pull off the "front protection" and a hard non-adhesive one, when I remove the "Back protection"

So I ruined the first one (using the squeegee on the adhesive side) and the second one had the same problem..PLUS a Pinch, but I can't blame Spigen since I could be a transportation issue.

Am i the only one with this problem ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
I am new to this so please be gentle! Lol. I am running 4.4.2 and have already rooted the phone. I verified that it is rooted using Root Checker. I installed Rom Manager and installed ClockworkMod Recovery and all seemed to be okay. When I click on Reboot into Recovery in Rom Manager app I receive a message stating "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." Also at the top of the screen it says SECURE FAIL: KERNEL .

I can cancel the Recovery and restart the phone and the phone works properly but I cannot enter the Recovery to do a nandroid backup with my ultimate call to flash custom roms to gain battery life and delete bloatware etc.

Any assistance is appreciated.

:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
You can't run a custom recovery like cwm, twrp and so on running 4.4.2 NE1. The only custom recovery you can run is safestrap. As far as custom roms you can no longer run those either only BL (bootloader locked) roms. No CM or anything similar

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
Thank you for your reply. Like I said, I am a novice. Just so I understand, this means I am stuck with the Kit Kat 4.4.2 operating system? So rooting the phone only gave me the ability to delete unwanted bloatware? What if I reverted to 4.3...can I use custom recovery and custom roms then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Correct on the first two questions. And no you can't downgrade

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
Ugh. This phone is killing me. Battery drains too fast and operation is too slow. Just trying to modify it and hold out until the S6 comes out. So another dumb question, since I cannot get in to Recovery mode now, how do I restore that? Run safestrap? Delete Rom Manager, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
To be honest I'd say yes remove rom manager. I don't know enough about safestrap however

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
Deleting the rom manager does not remove the cwm that doesn't work so I can't get into recovery. If I use safestrap, does that replace cwm and then I can boot into recovery ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I didn't say it would remove cwm. I don't know enough about safestrap. Check in the safestrap thread or ask someone there

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
I have to say I am very confused about what to do next. At this point I just want to go back to the stock bootloader and remove cwm. What is the

easiest

way to accomplish this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I don't know enough about safestrap. I'd say install safestrap but don't quote me on that

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
I am a little concerned to install anything else on the phone that I know little of. How was I able to load CWM if the bootloader is locked? I just want to remove it now and get back to the stock recovery. Anyone else have an idea how i do that???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmetman62:
Resolved

I was able to download Odin3 v3.09 and the correct tar.md5 file and flashed the stock recovery and now I am all set. Now i just need to re-root the phone. Thx for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I didn't really help you on this one, but ok

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
I know it is bad and one reason I have always rooted, but this is getting ridiculous.

I take a certain medication. It is not a well known medication and besides my doctor, only my wife and mother know I take it and the name of it.

I can't even recall discussing it much, or ever even emailing about it to anyone except my Insurance company to file a complaint about them not covering it.

To my utter disbelief it started appearing in ads when I surf the web.

I knew it was bad and privacy is not real, but this actually got to me.

I am still trying to figure this one out.

Anyone had a similar experience? This is friggin nuts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hardknockz313:
That was one of the main reasons why I would root my phone, to get rid of CarrierIQ or anything else that might have been added by Verizon to collect information on searches I may have previously done.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] laughingcolors:
rooted with the DE edition- how do i get rid of carrieriq ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hardknockz313:
There is a way to manually remove carrier iq from phones, but I honestly don't know how to do it myself. I've seen threads in the past that told you step by step how to do this process, so I'm sure you could probably search XDA for a "How to Guide". I know that most roms that developers make have Carrier IQ removed, so if you don't want to remove it yourself, then using a custom rom would be your best bet.

How can you even say it was your device, it could have been from 100 other sources. I agree that's a big reason to run root to have control but these days even if u think you are carefully 100s of vendors know what you use, like, buy.....

[Nexus 9 Android Development] tyvar1:
Cool :D

btw twrp is out.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, it will auto update on first run and it will know twrp is out. Full root support. And everything.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] nrage23:
I usually flash my recovery the old fashioned way lvia fastboot like I did yesterday with the first version of TWRP but I decided to flash the newer version of TRWP with the Tooolkit. I was unencrypted prior to using the Toolkit and when it did the modified boot.img my device rebooted and encrypted itself. I assume I can just restore my backup from yesterday to go back to unencrypted.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
This makes no sense. Yes to your question. But how did you come to that conclusion? Can you add me on Google hangouts chat.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] nrage23:

[Nexus 9 Android Development] berendspruijt:
Tnx for this tool.

I did something wrong(fix permission) in twrp and i got boot-looped.

then i thought it would be smart o delete everything on the device...(not my brightest moment)

used the tool to flash stock + unroot.

Worked fine but:

When finishing it couldn't connect to the network when it was setting up.

I resolved this by rebooting.

Then when i put my backup back from Google play the navigation bar was missing and the notification tray was missing too.

I resolved that by doing a factory reset.

tnx again.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thats a lot of rando weirdness, you may want to flash stock again. Glad to hear its helped you.

[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
Added the new LRX21R to the kit, just hit update and you will see it in the pull down list.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 9 Android Development] prdog1:
Should never need to fix permissions. If needs permissions fixed it means have bad deved rom or dirty flashed over different rom base. This breaks the uids and is just a bad way to fix things. Will bite you again sooner or later. :cool:
[Nexus 9 Android Development] berendspruijt:
jep i was being stupid...

I wanted to flash the new update LRX21R manually.

so i got a zip file from the ota thread.

tried to flash it in twrp

but it failed.

so i tried fixing permissions.

why i chose that option i dont know.

i should have read up on that function before using it.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] corkiejp:
Tested the tool today to Flash 5.0 (LRX21R).

The flash stock(with option not to wipe enabled) command failed to update my Nexus 9! Problem more likely with the factory image.

Had to manually flash each image and there was no option for vendor image in the advance tools.

Successfully Flashed TWRP, but root didn't work as this method doesn't install SU binaries.

Had to use chainfire's root method instead.

The toolkit hadn't been updated to Include LRX21R when I was using it.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] prdog1:
It's a fix for a bad rom flash with apps that FC. It just a work around, flash is still bad. I used it in testing years ago just to see what broke. Should never be used. I have flashed tens of thousands of times and have never needed. Update won't flash if you are rooted or have anymodded files. It is only for pure stock. Have to flash back to stock unrooted to flash it. Might as well just flash the new full image. :cool:
[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just an FYI for future use, the option "Force Flash Mode" does just that. It extracts the package further and flashes the images individually.

And yes, google seemed to mess these packs up a bit where that is necessary.

Root will work now on that build now that its listed. And when Chainfire releases the kernel autopatcher zip, Any Build mode will work on Lollipop, so you won't have to wait on me adding builds - although I am pretty quick! ;)

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 9 Android Development] corkiejp:
Thanks for the Tip on using "Force Flash Mode" from the settings.

What about vendor.img, still not available in the advance mode.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] WugFresh:
oh snap. I forgot to add that. It takes care of it in the flashstock.bat and force flash, but it deff needs a button in adv utils. Will add in v1.9.9 which may be ready later tonight, or tmrw the latest.

sad face for having to rearrange buttons now! Lol.

You are the MAN! I was having a helluva time rooting my N9 until this beauty came along. Even an idiot like me can root with this great tool. Thanks again!

With that in mind, I have a couple of questions...

1. I did not flash a custom recovery when I rooted. Can I still get OTA updates?

2. Can I flash TWRP at a later date using the tool?

Once again, mucho thanks.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] JMooney5115:
I'm in the same boat. Except, I was running Marshmallow rooted and flashed back to stock only to get this error. I cannot get past it.

In NRT I did 'Flash Stock + Unroot'.

You can try changing the format of your file system. Or try using the ota full images from here
[Nexus 9 Android Development] fkinell:
My N9 has recovered ! Just fine... using NRT !! Just like always !!

The only thing I did that was different ... was install NRT onto a different PC (laptop actually) .. and I doubt that has anything to do with my success ! (more necessity on my behalf as my PC crashed)

I even got the same F2FS error .... but this time .... it worked!

All I did was blow back the last Nexus 6 MOB30G - nothing ticked, and I did nothing different than I have ever done whilst recovering my tablets using NRT.

So ... I am none the wiser ...

The N9 is asking me to update to the Beta N again ... not a hope !!! About to opt out ASAP.

Thank you for the advice on XDA .. its a relief that there is somewhere to go when stuff like this happens - Ta all.

NB: Just a thought ... in case its pertinent .. My N9 totally ran out of juice.. 0% battery.. I had to recharge it before I could restart NRT stock process.

Out of interest .. my N9 is unlocked, it has been rooted, it has been recovered numerous times before with NRT.

[Nexus 9 Android Development] Saad Ali:
Help me, I'm a noob. Twrp installs and works fine on 7.0. But when I root and the device on 6.0.1, the twrp just keeps on booting and the kit keeps waiting for the device and after that I'm asked for the password to mount the data. Which I didn't set.

Anyone else run into an issue with 7.1.1 wherein you can't install an apk mod due to signature verification? Or did I just goof my root?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] borxnx:
I'm not sure how your question relates to wug's kit...

Sent from my thingyding straight to your eyeholes using Crapatalk.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Jaehend:
It relates as I used wug's to root my Nexus 9 running 7.1.1 and was unable to install any type of apk mod due to signature verification. Did not have this issue with 6.01 so was curious as to whether this may be a 7.1.1 issue or a botched wug root on my part.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] droidmage:
Is this toolkit no longer supported? I was able to successfully restore the NEXUS 9 my dad gave me after he broke it updating the lineage version. The TWRP version in the toolkit is not the latest version from TWRP and the build number of the latest stock system is not in the options. Will the version I'm now running root and work ok with the TWRP and SU in the toolkit? I'm now running 7.1.1 build # N9F27L
[Nexus 9 Android Development] madbat99:
Toolkit should update itself. If it's not, the TWRP and su version should be fine. But, ya know, you can download TWRP yourself and have the toolkit use the one you downloaded in it's automated root method. Or you can go in "advanced tools" and select "fastboot flash" and select "recovery", and select the TWRP image you download yourself. Then you have TWRP and can flash whatever su zip you want (SuperSU, magisk, etc.)
[Nexus 9 Android Development] borxnx:
Yeah, it's no longer being maintained. You should just get the latest firmware (from Google, or here's a direct link to the latest Nexus 9 firmware from that page) and the latest TWRP if you need it and just use the fastboot commands yourself. It's pretty simple and straightforward. I've always said that toolkits should only be used when you already know how to do something but are feeling lazy, and this is a prime example as to why: when the toolkit is no longer supported, people get stuck.

No offense intended, and feel free to PM me with any questions you may have about how to ADB/fastboot to restore your tablet. I'm a fellow N9 owner myself, and it's a great device. I'm usually checking XDA every few hours, so seriously shoot me a message and I can help you get it back up and running.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] droidmage:
Thanks for the reply. I was able to get TWRP on. I am not new to Android rooting and stuff, just like you said a little lazy I guess. Really I was having trouble getting adb/fastboot working properly with the brick my dad gave me. It was connecting and disconnecting over and over again and nothing would flash. So I dled a lineage 13 rom on a OTG flashdrive, got it to flash in recovery, still booting in recovery but when I plugged it to my computer fastboot was connected steady and the toolkit one-click return to stock worked. The return to stock actually finds and flashes the latest thing from google but the recovery and SU apparently only use what he had in the last update to toolkit.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] glockman4519:
For future use, you can download the needed TWRP and firmware and put them in the folders inside the tool. It will work then. I too have been around android for some time now and know how to do adb/Fastboot but find the tool to be easier (being lazy) to use.
