[Nexus Player General] uktechguru:
If your np isn't coming up when your put devices you'll need to go into device manager on your laptop and remove adb and/or any android device, then download adb again (if required) and plug the device into laptop with cable and let it download drivers etc and you'll be OK. Seems sometimes it happens for no apparent reason. I had that a while ago and this was the only option that resolved it.

Seems workable. But I'm still reluctant to take the risk.

Changes for Nexus Player running 5.1.1

I have a Nexus Player running 5.1.1, build LMY47V. Is the root.ini file referenced in this post suitable for this device?

I followed the instructions in the video and all seemed smooth except that when the new image booted it did not have SuperSU available anywhere (neither the leanback lanucher nor through the Apps settings).

I installed SuperSU from the Play Store but it failed to install the applications and asks for a reboot before trying again. After reboot it seems to hang forever (> 10 min) in the floating colored circles screen.

It's not bricked - I can reboot to the bootloader using the hardware method (long press the button during poweron).

Could it be that because it's 5.1.1 I need a different root.ini? Or maybe someone has an idea what's going wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi team,

Firstly i am pretty inexperienced with Android - get that out of the way!

My wife was given a HTC Desire 816w by her parents in China - phone seems cool but its locked out of the Google Store. The phone itself works here (New Zealand) for texts, calls etc.

So:

1. How do i either unlock the google store or

2. how do i flash a custom rom to this phone?

Hopefully you guys can help :)
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_Victorian:
Maybe you could try to install custom firmware? That might fix it...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaumatua:
yes... i think so

Yes I think this is what I need to do.

However I need help working out how to do this.

Can you post a link to a tutorial or instructions?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksand10:
Hi all,

Got a Canadian Samsung Galaxy Note 4 yesterday, in replacement of my aging Nexus 4.

While I was a comfortable poweruser with my Nexus 4 (Xposed mods, Franco Kernel, double tap to wake, LTE-enabled modem, etc.), I never had to toy with SELinux, and as such I've been reading a lot on these forums. Also, since this is my first Samsung device, I learned to use Odin, pretty nifty tool!

The steps I've taken:

Rooted with CF-Auto-Root through the Odin PDA method (with the correct, Canadian .tar)

Installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 through the Odin PDA method (with the correct, Canadian .tar)

Installed BusyBox through Stericson's installer

Made a nandroid backup up with TWRP

Updated the SuperSU binary manually to 2.16 through TWRP

With Flashify, made a kernel backup

With Flashify (Flash Boot Image), flashed stockish twistedumbrella kernel (with the correct, Canadian .img) for Permissive SELinux

Edited my build.prop, to disable KNOX and SELinux, by adding the following lines at the end of the file

(SELinux disable)
ro.build.selinux=0

(KNOX disable)
ro.config.tima=0
ro.config.knox=0

Rebooted

When I check SELinux status through getenforce Terminal Emulator, I get Enforcing. When i enter setenforce permissive, I get Permissive.

Did I miss a step or do something incorrectly?

Thanks for the help

EDIT:

So JC3M4N helped me out: he suggested trying su 0 setenforce 0 or su system setenforce 0. Personally, the second one worked for me, but YMMV. Hoping this helps someone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noahwass:
So, I've been trying to get my Epic 4G Touch back on it's feet. It crashed about a year ago and I have finally had the time to look into it (running a Nexus 5 with Lollipop, currently). I'm able to get the GS2 into download (ODIN) mode as well as the reboot screen.

I've downloaded JODIN3 (I'm on Ubuntu) and have retrieved the PIT file from my phone. JODIN3 tells me that this file is corrupt and I can't proceed. I've found other PIT files and tried those with the same result.

I tried working around this, setting my phone into the reboot screen and choosing to load an update from the SD card. I downloaded the SPH-D710 Zedomax Kernel and tried loading that. No luck there either.

Basically, my phone, when booting, goes into the Sprint 4G screen and freezes. I can see it on my computer when connected to USB, so I'm pretty sure that I can bring it back to life. I'm just new. Any tips?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noahwass:
Also, I've tried a couple of different ROM's loaded onto a microSD card. Like I said, I can get to the manual screen (Volume Up/Power), but when I try to load the ROM file from the microSD card, the phone reboots and gets stuck at the 4G load screen. I'm not sure how to get around this problem.

Whelp, I screwed up my filesystem. So I was messing around with commands and tried to remount /data and /cache in rw mode.

I used this command

mount -o remount,rw /

Forgot to finish typing and pressed enter, and it mounted the rootfs into rw mode.

Tried to fix so I ran

mount -o remount,ro /

Probally shouldn't have done that now that I think about it.

It mounted all of the partitions in ro mode including the sdcard.

So I was like lets go to recovery and do a nandroid restore, well it somewhat worked. It fixed all the partitions, I think, except /sdcard

Now when I try to: mount -o remount,ro /sdcard I get an error saying there is no such object.

Same with mount -o remount,ro /storage/emulated/0

Is there a command to fix this or do I need to reflash firmware?

1- root device

2- install new boot kernel (adv-stock-v4) (( Even tried v5))

3- unlock bootlader (only had to do it the first time, bootloader stays unlocked)

4- install cwm/TWiRP

5- get into TWIRP or CWM & wipe as I should

6- install rom. (It wont install)

7- reboot

8- stuck @ sony logo. & then reboots,

9- reinstall stock rom

This happens every time I try to install a rom.

I also get the message before I reboot, no root, would you like cmw/twirp to fix it, I go with yes. & ive tryed no as well. no difference. Still get stuck @ Sony logo & get reboot loop.

Any ideas ?

Im not new at rooting & roming.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Hey, it sounds like you're installing NUT's dual recovery and are trying to flash a CM/AOSP based ROM? I didn't find it possible to flash non-Sony ROMs using that recovery, myself. What you need to do is to first flash the kernel (boot.img) from the ROM you're trying to flash. You can do this using fastboot with the phone set to fastboot mode. The FlashTool program comes with what you need, and there's a guide to using it in the development forum. The kernel contains the recovery (either CWM or TWRP), so after flashing that, you can boot to recovery and install any CM/AOSP ROM you wish.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Xpun3414:
I did the flashtool thing. ( I'll edit my post ) I did the boot.img & Im trying to use SlimRom. Everything seems to be fine until I try & install the rom. Then it goes to hell.

Btw, Slimrom is compatable.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
So what's the actual error message you get upon installing a ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Xpun3414:
Something like, installation canceled. could not install rom. It goes threw a few steps. gets a few things installed (or so it seems) & then it hangs & I get that message. I thought, at first, it may have been a corrupt download. But after a few times of downloading it. I kinda think its no longer that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Have you tried another ROM? Someone else is also having boot trouble with Slim in its development thread.

Firstly my phone details;

Model - Xperia Z2 D6503

Firmware - 1278-4770_23.0.1.a.3.9

Network - EE

Rooting status;

Bootloader unlock allowed: No

I want to root my phone but after reading what seems like thousands of web pages im more than a little confused. Does anyone out there have a step by step guide for beginners?

I want to use cwm recovery but don't understand how to get that on the phone as most guides say use it to back up before doing anything else but it isn't there to start with!

Also will installing cwm wipe my phone and sd card?

Any help would be much appreciated and many thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
You can only install nuts dual recovery on a locked bootloader, proper recovery is included in the kernel and the kernel can only be changed on an unlocked bootloader, there was a a guide to rooting in one of the forums and I assume towel root will work, just search the z2 forum you'll find it :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faggy:
Thanks for the response.

Is nuts recovery better or worse than cwm? Also i thought that towel root would not work with 4.4.4 at present?

Does the locked bootloader mean i cannot do certain things even after rooting my phone like install custom roms and kernals?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
1) You cannot root the firmware you are on with a one click tool (like towelroot) at present. You have to downgrade to a lower firmware like 17.1.2.A.0.314 first and then root that, install a custom recovery and install a pre-rooted firmware package.

2) Your bootloader is hard locked by EE, this means that you will never be able to unlock it and install custom kernels nor custom ROM's what require custom kernels.

3) It is more than recommended to install [NUT]'s dual recovery, this installs PhilZ recovery (a more advanced CWM in my opinion), TWRP and CWM (to use CWM you have to install dual recovery manager from google play AFTER installing the dual recovery).

4) Now to downgrading, you will need to download a program called flashtool (this can be found in the Sony Cross Device development section) and the .314 ftf file (not .tft, ,ttf, .fft or any other variation people mis-spell it as). You will then need to install the drivers for your phone (these can be found in the flashtool drivers folder in the location you installed it, also if you have Windows 8 or 8.1 check my signature on how to disable driver enforcement before attempting to install the drivers.) There are plenty of guides on how to downgrade, there is even one in the firmware collection thread what can be found in the Z2 general section. Side note, when downgrading you will HAVE to wipe data and the cache (this can be selected when you are selecting the firmware to flash) or else you will end up with a phone what is in a bootloop.

5) After downgrading you will need to root, the easiest and simplest way to root would to be use the easy root toolkit (this can be found in the Sony Cross Device development section).

6) After rooting you will have to install [NUT]'s dual recovery (Sony Cross Device development section, you will need the installer file and not the flashable file).

7) After installing dual recovery you will need to flash a pre-rooted zip file of the latest update (Z2 Android Development section, I think the one by [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] is the best one to use). Alternatively you could install a custom ROM what is based on stock, it will tell you if it is.

If you need any more help, just tag me in the post (by using the @ symbol and then my user name) or PM me. Also, [MENTION=4895687]Envious_Data[/MENTION] is a great help in this device forum, helped me when I had a few queries about the phone before I got it and I have seen them help a load of people in the Q&A section.
