[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
Man its a lot to read on on this topic and a lot posted best advice I would say is search the forum to the top items need on your phone...

Great phone but if on Verizon you cannot talk and data so long call surfing web, FB, etc out...until Advance Call 1.0 (read on it)

If Veriozn not all can get LTE

Xposed - Love it for the hacks and Panda hacks but can't use it

Issues with sound for some speaker pop but can be other dev not modified for N6 yet but Google Music does work OK

Those are for me none may fit you but you need look at what you use most in a phone and search that to see N6 will work for you or go with Note 4...as business man I need voice/data together but a Verizon issue...read on it.

I am on att but like I said development is a biggie for me. I was just wondering about problems with nexus 6. I have looked at the nexus forums and saw some stuff that bothered me. But it seems like it is mostly with Verizon. I think nexus it is for me.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I'd stick with the Nexus 5 for a stock phone and the Note 4 if you want a big phone. I think there are performance issues with the Nexus 6. Whether or not it is because of Lollipop I don't know. I just know my Nexus 5 felt faster.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason504:
Pretty sure software updates will fix all the problems with the nexus 6. Note 4 development Sucks they have like 6 roms.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
I thought that way with Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. IMO, from my past experiences; you will see some improvements with new updates but nothing major. I prefer note 4 because it has less issue comparing to Nexus 6. I had no choice but to return it. Again IMO, don't crucify me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason504:
Not at all everyone has their own preferences. I was on the fence but I am a flash-aholic so the nexus development sold me. Plus I really liked the build quality of the nexus 6. It feels real solid. The note 4 looks great to but it feels like it a delicate flower. S pen I would probably never use. Camera I hardly ever use. The one thing that I will miss is multi tasking. But I will get over it. Thanks for your input.

ok while flashing i had power glitch.. (pc shut off while using lg flash tool) i've got it working again but my imei/esn is 00000 would something like this work...i know what it is i just know how to write it...would something like this work? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942417

thanks in advance...
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i dont know if this can be directly applied, mainly because i dont know the relevance of the extra numbers he is adding. other than that it looks reasonably generic.

since the first part is just a bunch of unnecessary steps to see if re-flashing stock will fix it, i would go ahead and re-flash stock to see if you really lost the imie or not. its not going to make matters worse, it will either fix it or not.
[Verizon LG G3] Tech_Savvy:
ok i'll check and see if it works
[Verizon LG G3] Tech_Savvy:
it didn't work it's still 0000....would you know if cdma tool workshop would work for writing the esn?

you dont happen to have a nandroid with an efs backup in it do you?

[Verizon LG G3] Tech_Savvy:
could you upload a screen shot of of setting/about phone/ status...out can black out the imei if you want..i want to match it up with mine...thanks
[Verizon LG G3] orangekid:
A bit of cleanup here.

I understand that we run into situations where we need to fix a messed up EFS or the IMEI goes to all zero or something like that, but unfortunately due to legal reasons we don't allow talking about changing IMEI numbers...

I am closing this since OP has seemed to fix his issue..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch_rules:
Sorry if this has been addressed but I've been searching and reading and freaking out because I can't find out how to recover my Nexus 7.

I'm trying to manually update my 2012 Wifi Only Nexus 7 to Lollipop and my computer will not see the device any longer in ADB.

I downloaded the latest sdk and the latest image file (Nakasi 5.0.2 (LRX22G).

Ran through the steps found here: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus

At this step fastboot flash bootloader [bootloader file].img it just sat there for about an hour and didn't do anything.

***Edit- I got it to work and then got the invalidstate error.

I then read that others have had success updating to Lollipop without updating there bootloader here: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...t-flash-bootloader-failed-remote-invalidstate

***This is because my bootloader was already on 4.23.***

I then proceeded with fastboot -w update [image file].zip

The image failed after wiping everything with an error about too many links.

Now when I try I get "C:\Users\John\Desktop\Nexus 7\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -w upd

ate image-nakasi-lrx22g.ziparchive does not contain 'boot.sig'"

At this point, I can't get any adb commands to work as the device is not showing up as a connected device. I've rebooted my pc and the tablet multiple times. Fastboot keeps crashing as well.

Please help me get my Nexus back up and running. Thanks so much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
The Bootloader in the factory image is not valid see here

If you still can get into fastboot on your device,

Extract the img files from the zip file and manually flash each of them.

Are you in fastboot mode?

Since you issued an Adb command first, suggest your not?

Another option would be to use Wugfresh Nexus Root toolkit and set the option to "Force Flash Mode" in Options Flash Stock.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Your bootloader is locked.

Hi, rayandreas...

Something is definately not quite right with your posted screenshot/output.

Transcribing it as follows, we have...

erasing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.154s]

******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?

So far, so good.

I can see nothing wrong with this output, thus far... and I've seen something similar on my Nexus 7 many times when I've fastboot flashed stuff.

----

But then this bombshell hits!!

sending 'bootloader' <2100 KB>...

< waiting for device >

----

WTF!!!

Bootloader is now locked!

How is this even remotely possible?

----

If the bootloader is locked, the first half of your posted output simply shouldn't have been possible... But yet, your screenshot proves otherwise.

The bootloader is either locked and NO fastboot flash commands are possible, or the bootloader is unlocked and ALL fastboot flash commands are possible...

Your Nexus 7 seems to have 'changed its mind' about its bootloader lock status, halfway through fastboot flashing!!!

----

To determine the bootloader lock status of your Nexus 7, you need to boot your Nexus 7 into it's bootloader manually...

*** shut down the device completely.

*** press and hold VOL DOWN, and press POWER ON.

*** the text in the lower left hand corner of the screen should indicate the devices bootloader locked status.

See my attached screenshot for the sort of thing you should expect to see if the bootloader is unlocked.

---

If it's locked, try unlocking it manually (ie, via fastboot), with...

fastboot oem unlock

Hope this helps.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayandreas:
Thank you for even taking time for helping me thus far. I can say that it states the boot loader is locked. I have tried using wugs to unlock it but it doesn't work. I can't boot it up either. Just stays on the google splash screen. I am at a loss at what to do as of now. If I could get some help on how to rescue this thing I would be glad to donate a 12 pack or a 10 coffee or something. I received the tablet this way. I am hoping to fix it so my wife can use it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi again, rayandreas...

If it where my tablet, I'd just fastboot flash the Google factory stock image for your device:).

The Google factory stock image for your device can be found here...

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

There's little point in my re-inventing the wheel by writing yet another tutorial... full details and instructions can be found here...

[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock

----

But all of this is contingent upon successfully UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER.

The bootloader needs to be unlocked, before anything can be fastboot flashed.

Whilst this can be done with toolkits (such as Wugs), I personally prefer to deal with fastboot directly (instead of through a layer of GUI polished menus and dialogue boxes):).

----

From power-down state, or to force boot the device into its bootloader...

** Press and hold VOL-DOWN.

** Whilst holding VOL-DOWN, press POWER ON.

** Keep BOTH buttons pressed for a good 30 seconds.

If successful, you should see a GREEN ANDROID lying on its back...

----

USB connect it to your laptop/PC. Ensure you have the correct drivers installed on your laptop/PC as per the instructions detailed in the above link.

The command is as follows...

fastboot oem unlock

Due to security considerations, this command will wipe the Nexus 7, and you will be advised of this by the Nexus 7 itself, and you'll also need to confirm the bootloader unlock request at the Nexus 7 end via a confirmation dialogue box.

(See the attached screenshot for the sort of thing you should expect to see).

If successful, you should see an unlocked padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen, underneath the Google logo, whenever the device boots.

----

Unlocking the bootloader is critical if you wish to fastboot flash anything. Even official Google factory stock images require an unlocked bootloader to be fastboot flashed. And with the Google recommendation that the bootloader is re-locked afterwards with...

fastboot oem lock

This is optional of course, and I would generally recommend against it, because if you wish to unlock the bootloader again at some future date, it will wipe/factory reset the device...

General point of advice: Once Unlocked - Leave it Unlocked:).

---

Hope this helps... and good luck.

Rgrds,

Ged.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fobos531:
Maybe your bootloader is corrupted? [MENTION=5049483]GedBlake[/MENTION], can you provide him with latest 4.23 bootloader? I was searching the web and found out some bootloaders can be bad. Someone correct me if I said something wrong(just trying to help xD)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayandreas:
Man, I'll try anything. It is really racking my brain!

Thanks guys, for all the help so far...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fobos531:
According to this article, some of bootloaders were corrupted or what. Update NRT masterlists in the toolkit and try flashing the latest bootloader if that is possible through the toolkit. Maybe it will let you to unlock the bootloader afterwards. If the toolkit can't do that for you, download latest factory image(4.4.4 or 5.1, what you desire) and extract the bootloader from the image. It will probably be named "bootloader-nakasi....." Try manually flashing it through CMD/ADB using "fastboot flash bootloader "name of bootloader file". I repeat, I don't have much experience with this tablet, but I'm doing what I can. Try doing what I suggested, maybe it'll work. You can't make it worse after all :D Good luck!

EDIT: In the link I posted, there are some neat instructions and a link to the new bootloader down the page. Make sure to check that out too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayandreas:
I did update the NRT images and tried again with no luck. I also tried going into recovery and this is what I get. So, it looks like I have a crazy locked boot loader and no recovery at all. I am trying the other method now. We shall see!

Thanks for all the help so far. It means a lot!

I need to clear my cookies because I can't log into a particular website due to a cookie problem.

Can anyone tell me how to do this on my Vario II?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
Cheers. I tried that and it cleared my cookies (well, I presume that it did since I had to re-enter my log-in details at the problem website) but it didn't solve my problem.

FWIW my problem site is Facebook - or the mobile Facebook site m.facebook.com. When I try to log-in it just loops the log-in screen. Don't suppose anyone else has had this problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yes - I went through the process and found the same issue. I think their mobile site is perhaps for WAP browsers though I could be wrong.

I successfully managed however ,to log on using PIE and the full site i.e. http//facebook.com and it works fine.

If you really want the mobile version - that I guess is laid out without so many graphics etc I suppose you need to contact them. If it's because it's a wap site then you can download a wap browser. (say Winwap: http://www.winwap.com/products_2_2.php)

According to Facebook:

Boost, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint, and Virgin currently support Facebook Mobile Web. If you have another carrier and a phone with an internet browser, it should still work, we just can't make any guarantees. If you are having trouble, please tell us your carrier, the make and model of your phone, and describe the problem that you are experiencing here.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
Mike - When I started my phone this morning (I switch it off every night), I could access m.facebook.com today. Worked perfectly. So clearing your cookies might work for you too.

The mobile Facebook site is really excellent on a Vario.

Both the Memo 8 and the Shield released at the same time. So does anyone know if Nvidia is working on an updated model of the Shield around the corner at all? Would hate to get one for a new one to be released a couple of months later.

A benchmark app says nothing about how fast the device is for normal everyday use.
