Welp - I feel like an idiot. I saw this method elsewhere, however, it seemed like it would only work with system1.sparse files as other updates have had multiple files for system.img.

This worked - thanks!!!

Now to find the APKs for moto assist.
[X 2014 General] joderme:
This is quite interesting as none of the APKs will work on a Nexus 6.

APKs from the pure edition seem to have little problem.

I would think that the Nexus 6 wouldn't have a problem running these.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ethan.gaines:
I know very little about Android and ROMs in general, but what is the easiest way to get the stablest version of Android 5.0 Lollipop on my rooted M8? Are there ROMs out there that offers the stock Android 5.0 experience currently? If there is: are there any additional steps to make it compatible with my phone apart from the steps taken to root it originally?

I would love someone to help me out :)

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I believe the only 5.0 ROM is the GPE SkyDragon ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706391

You will need to have s-off and update your firmware to 3.x base, or you will have broken WiFi.

Android 5.0 has only been released on GPE at this time. 5.0 with Sense is coming within a month. After that, you will see custom ROMs with that base. But we won't see an official AT&T LP version for some time (we are still waiting for 4.4.4 coming mid-December).

Wait, what, I don't see L being pushed to the M8 GPE yet. Is this confirmed?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Havent heard of official release yet. I believe the latest official is still 2.12.1700

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Is that 2.12.1700.1 or dome other version. I believe I've seen 2.12.1700.5 before. So, I guess official GPE firmwares follow the 2.12 format ? Is this correct ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
My bad, the GPE Lollipop was supposed to rollout 11/21, but I'm just seeing it was delayed at the last minute (haven't really been keeping up). Skydragon is based on a leak, I believe. There is also the following ROM, based on the same leak, but more stockish:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716306

I didn't read that much of the thread. Its posted in the Verizon M8 section, but claims to be "MULTICARRIER" and therefore have GSM base as well. Read up and confirm before you flash, if anything.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Whatever the official release was, wasnt sure of the whole build number, but I know its not the one 3.XX build released by skydragon. As stated above that build is a leaked build.The build numbers will increase, nobody knows what final build number will be till either an ota is captured or a ruu is found.

Hello. I just rooted my phone and I tried to uninstall HTC bloatware and virgin mobile bloatware. But every time my phone restarts the apps return. I heard of this happing with HTC phones.

Hi all,

If you install the kernel on this thread, it shouldn't reinstall:

http://xdaforums.com/desire-510/development/sprint-virgin-mobile-stock-desire-510-t2958969
[HTC Desire 510] luda214:
Even after installing the kernel, the apps still come back. Plus with that kernel there is no ffc, and also SD card has problems. Trying to debloat this phone is a real pain.
[HTC Desire 510] CSP III:
The Cricket version of the WP removed kernel from shinru2004 worked like a charm. All my crap apps and then some are long gone baby. Try it again, or better yet get in touch with OP of your kernel [MENTION=5102540]CurbThePain[/MENTION] and ask.
[HTC Desire 510] dip_spit:
Flash rbheomax's kernel (I believe both camera's work in V1), or pattyboi's kernel (both cameras work), and use Titanium Backup to remove the apps/bloatware. They shouldn't come back after that but if they do, you can always go into Play Store > Settings > Auto-update Apps and set it to Do not auto-update apps and they will quit re-installing. If you're using Flashify to flash the boot image then make sure you reboot the phone before attempting to remove the apps; if you're using TWRP to flash then you don't have to worry about that.
[HTC Desire 510] luda214:
That was it. pattyboi's rhinstone kernel was the way to go. Both camera's working and no sd problems with write protection removed. Time to slim this thing down a bit. Thanks dip_spit.
[HTC Desire 510] Deep Ellum Dan:
Has anyone else tried this kernel and can verify there are no issues? I seen HTC has a new update for my phone and wonder how that would work:

This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including:

ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability ('Stagefright')

- Device Stability improvements, bug fixes

- New and or enhanced features

- Further improvements to performance

Right now, my version is 1.48.652.2
[HTC Desire 510] JimFritzMI:
I did a backup, then installed the RUU, let their software update install to keep from getting notified about it incessantly, and then put my kernel back with the application backups.
[Verizon LG G3] vudugan:
Hello all. I have a quick question hoping to get an answer to. This being my first LG, if I do a Factory Reset will it wipe the internal hdd completely clean? I don't recall my Samsung GS3 wiping it completely. I just want to get rid of any non used files and/or folders from apps that were deleted.

Also, I'm running Xposed. Should I delete the mods and uninstall Xposed before the Factory Reset?
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
A factory reset will wipe the device to a state that looks like out of the box.

So anything thing you have installed will go away.

It won't wipe the microSD unless you select that option but you will lose all apps and such.
[Verizon LG G3] Decon1:
Question, will the Factory Reset return the software to 10B or will it still have the 11C OTA software?

Thanks,
[Verizon LG G3] vudugan:
You'll keep the version you're on. Thx Tech
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
It only erases user data and resets all the settings.

System level doesn't change.

Yeah, I figured as much, first LG phone so I thought I'd ask.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCheeseball:
So the time has come for an upgrade and after surveying the whole market, i feel like the nexus 6 is the phone for me. HOWEVER there is one thing holding me back: the audio quality from the headphone jack.

My current phone is an iPhone 4 (so sad) and i spend a lot of time listening to music on it. I know that the sound on the nexus 5 wasn't great to say the least, and was wondering how it will fare on the nexus 6. I have a feeling it may not be quite on par to my apple product, but being almost as good will suffice, especially since it will be such a good phone.

Is there any software that will improve the audio experience once i buy the phone (if i do)? £500 is a lot of money and i want to make sure i'm buying the right thing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TOCS88:
Here are my un-scientific thoughts:

I had an iphone 5 and the sound quality while plugged into my acura head unit via headphone jack was great! I then got a Nexus 4 followed by a Nexus 5. Both were miserable. With the volume at 100% on the head unit, it was not half as loud as my iphone. I was constantly wishing I could turn the volume higher. I could not tell a difference quality wise, just volume was not enough...

Today I used my Nexus 6 while commuting to work via the same headphone jack in my Acura. I am happy to report that I got PLENTY of power from the phone. I did not dare turn the volume higher than 80% in fear I would blow the speakers.

So....for my use, I would say MUCH improved and I am as happy with the Nexus 6 as I was with my iPhone 5.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Just a quick question, if I root my Note 4, what exactly happens when an OTA update comes around?

If I keep the stock recovery, and just root with CF, is it still possible to install the updates, and then reroot?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmadmob:
Yes you can still have OTA updates even after root, but you have to either flash a stock ROM via odin from sammobile for your exact specific model (must match product code and CSC) OR connect to Kies and update from it, if there's no update available in Kies you can use the "firmware upgrade and initialization option", both options will get your "official" status back and you will get OTA updates again. After you install all the updates you can then re-root it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Okay, so the answer is no to actually applying OTA updates while rooted? From what you're saying I'll have to revert to stock, install the update, and then re-root. Not the end of the world I guess.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmadmob:
Yep you have to revert to stock like I did when I updated to the 17 Nov update. Kies updates work while you're rooted tho but they also remove root and you have to reroot afterwards. OTA updates will never work for any rooted samsung mobile.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ale.ttone:
Hi, do you lose your data by flashing the update via Odin or via Kies?

I mean, I'm rooted with all my apps, configurations and data, I can't get the OTA update since I'm rooted, if I update the software via Kies or Odin will I have all my data, configuration etc like the OTA update or have I to reinstall all the apps and reconfigure all?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orivar:

[NOTE: For this please flash stock recovery and continue with the following steps]

I'm having Samsung c9 pro (rooted) and nougat update was released for my device. I used xposed module FireFdsKit (mentioned below) to get update. To receive updates, open the module, go to security hacks and check the fake system status to official and go to system settings and check for software updates and it'll show updates (if any) and doing this helped me to get the official OTA update for Nougat . Download the update file (but don't install through

system update manager). After downloading the update, open flashfire app and it'll detect the OTA update press ok and flash the update with flashfire app (as flashing through this app you can have the root even after the update) and my mobile is updated and working fine now (on the latest update and still rooted ) you can use wanam module for KitKat, Lollipop Devices

Wanam (For 4.0+) : http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Katflakes:
So, here's how it went. :crying:

I just bought my Note 8.0. Came with KitKat - don't remember which firmware. In Kies I tried to update it with latest firmware, when something happened and tablet rebooted with message:

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

At first, it sounded simple to me. I tried connecting tablet in Kies, but it was looping in "Connecting", and it never did connect. At all.

I thought, fine, I can try Odin. Once I started flashing KitKat based stock firmware, it fails all the time and it goes like:

...

sboot.img

NAND Write start!

FAIL!

...

"NOT COOL"

Tried out flashing .pit file too but it gets stuck at "Get .PIT for mapping"

And I cannot do anything with my new tablet anymore and I'm stuck. I have tried re-installing drivers, trying out differen USB cables/ports, yet nothing has worked... :(

And yeah, it shows KNOX Warranty Void : 1, after trying out Odin, so I am screwed too.

And now after battery has depleted, the screen is flickering all the time, and when I try to charge it the charger and the tablet gets hot extremely fast. :( Does this mean I wasted my money? LOL. :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Da_G:
Hi,

I have the exact same problem with my wifey's tablet.

I am working on it at the moment. (which model is yours? hers is SGH-I467)

I believe we should be able to bypass this error by manually flashing certain partitions (leaving out the sboot, which cannot be downgraded, thus causing the error)

I'll be putting together a package for this shortly. (or else my wifey is gonna hulk smash me)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Da_G:
re: battery being dead/screen flicker:

Use a higher wattage charger if you have one. The charger that comes with the gnote8 pulls 8 to 10 watts, random OEM chargers tend to put out less. I was getting the flickering while plugged into usb, but plugged into the charger i'm not.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Katflakes:
Mine's GT-N5110. 16GB Wi-Fi model.

Pretty lame that tablet got bricked under 24hrs. *achievement unlocked* :D :crying:

I have never had such terrible problems with any other Samsung device...

Actually, I tried the Kies again, with Firmware Upgrade and Initialization Tool, looked like it would install just fine, BUT it got a write fail....ffs... Gonna try it again soon. I am trying to charge it up for now.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Katflakes:
The flickering goes away if I leave it to charge it a bit. Just found that out. I just can't charge it for a long time, not going to talk about overnight, because it overheats too much. :(

I guess it only flickers when battery is going low, and connecting it with USB doesn't help it either.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Da_G:
Kies attempts to flash a full image, which contains an older sboot.img. Once the sboot has been upgraded, it can't be downgraded. This is why you are getting a failure each time.

Unless Kies updates to a newer version of the sboot.img, it won't work to fix this issue. The key should be using odin to flash everything but the sboot.img. I'm working on it now. I don't have the same model as you however, but the method to create an image should be exactly the same for that model, just have to start with a different set of files.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Katflakes:
OK, so I tried to do this again. This time I let tablet charge so while firmware gets recovered, screen doesn't flicker and do weird stuff, aaand....

Recovered the firmware succesfully, BUT it got bricked and has a boot loop. :( That's just naaaasty.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Katflakes:
Done, I have found out that I repedeately tried to install the wrong firmware. Ex., I have tablet with stock XEO firmware, and I tried to install SEB firmware. Thats why it didnt let me install the firmware I wanted to, because I was stupid. :D well best 10gb ever spent! :D :D

Lemme see here... You stated it was already 4.4.2 and broke when upgrading f/w. I assume you are using keis for 4.2.2... You will need to uninstall it, and install the latest kies for 4.4.2. Then see if you can fix your broken flash.

Hey y'all... looks like I'm in the same miserable boat. I'm trying to sell my Sammy Note 8 to Amazon but had to remove the root and Cyanogen 4.4.4 ROM before sending it in. After reading a bunch of articles, I came to this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2773712 After waiting about 20 minutes and not seeing any progress, I thought it was stuck. So, I rebooted into recovery and tried again. Like the OP, Odin peters out at the recovery.img stage and Fails. Now, I'm getting the super fast screen flashing which I've learned is a low battery issue. It's on charge now and hope in an hour or two can try again. My question to you guys, am I using the right img for a US N5110? Or do you guys know a better way to flash this baby back to original the original unrooted, 4.2.2 state?

You can't go from kk (4.4) to jb(4.2). Kitkat has a locked bootloader.

You might try stock kk flash.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FiLiNuX:
If you have the ATT SGH i467 the Kit Kat ROM is not available to the public.

I sat with mine in the exact same state as yours & the OP until I found out you can take your Note 8 to a Samsung Experience center (they are in a LOT of Best Buy stores!! 4 in Columbus Ohio) and they will flash Kit Kat on it for you for free!! I was stoked to get my tablet back to working order. The original issue that got me into this problem (my IMEI disappeared and no I have NEVER rooted this tab) is what I am currently trying to have them fix without as much luck as they had fixing the stuck in downloading mode. The quality of the employees varies GREATLY from store to store. The 1st tech fixed me up great and hung in there even though the low charge battery issue was looking like it would make the reflash fail but the next tech at a different store literally just sat and looked down not saying a word waiting for me to give up and leave because "their laptop didn't have enough free disk space to download the ROM". If ANYONE from Samsung would have watched the situation and his actions he would have been fired on the spot. So be patient if the 1st tech you talk to is clueless because they CAN fix your issue.
