Advanced Stock Kernel

Hello there gurus.

Being on a stock fully rooted kernel (14.4.A.0.157) flashed with FlashTool (unlocked bootloader), and thus with stock recovery (ie no custom recovery installed). I went to NUT''s most excellent site and made a “XZDualRecovery 2.8.2 Advanced Stock Kernel” by uploading the kernel.sin file which I got from the FTF file created with FlashTool. This creates a flashable.zip file meant to be installed from inside a custom recovery solution.

My question is then, if I extract the boot.img file from this flashable.zip, could I then flash this image using fastboot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) ?

Could I then use that solution to install a CM12 nightly build, which I assume would promptly overwrite what I just did instead of reflashing a CM12 boot.img and go from there?

Would I gain anything at all from doing this instead of just using the Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.2-RELEASE.installer.zip package?

I'm so confused now.

I m Using XZ1 C6902 running lollipop(5.0.2) (build - .270), have rooted it with Kingroot app, Unlocked bootloader, and now i m looking forward to flash a dual recovery. will my build be compatible if i use the method to install posted by u or i have to downgrade to some other and then the procedure to be followed?

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

what all things should i make a backup of before flashing the dual recovery using your link@[nut] (for xz1) ??

and also can i flash on z1(C6902) having lollipop(5.0.2) (build- .270) using your installer (because i have heard that installing and using a different firmware...results a brick)??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [NUT]:
You need to change kingroot to supersu (guides can be found on XDA) and once done, you should be able to install XZDR.

I need some general help, been a long time since i flashed a rom and this xperia Z1c 6916. Running 5.0.2 kernel 3.4.0 Build 14.5.B.0.236. I've gotten dual recovery working, gotten system rooted, but tried to flash with miui and soft bricked. Ended up using flashtools to reflash stock Rom. Now I'm back to where I was, I had tried installing from recovery with the zip file and don't know what I'm doing wrong. How do I verify my bootloader is unlocked, and how do I reinstall dual boot after the flash but before reboot? Is there a zip file I should be using or should I do it through adb with your autoloader? Thanks for the help, and sorry for the newb question.

Anyway to unistall this pre-installed Facebook app for some reason they have it installed as a system app on the verizon version of the edge
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quangtran1:
You can't uninstall system apps without root. I do agree that it's silly for Verizon to install it as a system app. That said, I think they did it for two reasons: one, so it can't be uninstalled; two, to ensure facebook notifications work. In many cases, notifications from system apps work more reliably than regular apps.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adtino:
Hello everyone,

Relatively new Android user here. I've been running Cyanogenmod 12 Nightlies on my Sprint HTC One m8, and for some reason, I cannot seem to get the messaging or email apps to work properly.

When I set CM Messenger as my default texting app, I can receive messages just fine, but when I go to send, it's as if the sending button is disabled. From what I can tell, setting Messenger as the default texting app should enable the send button, but that's simply not the case for me. The only info I've been able to find online said that Voice + caused this problem, but I think that was specific to CM 11. I don't recognize any apps on my phone that would be the Android L equivalent of Voice +.

As for Email, whenever I try to connect my gmail account, I get a message saying that verification couldn't be completed because the password is wrong. After this, the app closes automatically, and upon reopening it, the app seems to be hung up on syncing but never actually does anything. I've tried linking my account both automatically and manually — both methods yield the same result.

The odd thing is that 3rd party messaging and email apps work just fine. I've been using them as a workaround, but I'd really like to use the stock apps if possible! And aside from that, I'm totally stumped and would really like to figure out what is causing this issue. Any insight you could provide would be very much appreciated! :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adtino:
Update: I got the email app to work — I had the sync parameter set to never because I like to manually retrieve my mail, but it seems like that completely stops the app from syncing at all. It's still a little buggy, but at least it's working. Still no fix yet for SMS app.....

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danwguy:
Hello all, I come asking for help. I recently had an issue with my note 3. I tried to update my twrp with the twrp manager, I had safestrap 3.75 and then used the twrp manager to try and flash the new 3.8.4.0 twrp, but after it flashed I went to recovery and tried to install cm12 but kept getting the error "this build is for hltevzw, you have a ." When trying to install. So I went full stock, flashed the new stock stuff via odin. Then rerooted with towelroot, installed superSU, then the safestrap 3.75. Now I can get to safestrap recovery, but if I try to install cm12, I will follow directions, flash rom, flash gapps, then I've tried flashing superSU as some have suggested, and tried not flashing superSU, but then my phone reboots, goes past the splash screen showing the unlock and says custom, sits at a black screen for a while, then reboots. Only when it reboots, at the splash screen it says loafing recovery in red at the top, then I get a screen saying that custom software has been detected and I need to take the phone in to Verizon or something like that. The only way to get out of it is to shut down, boot into download, and then hit volume down to cancel. It just keeps doing that same thing over and over. I was able to get eclipse rom installed, but cm12 always does the same thing. I've also gone into the safestrap 3.75 recovery and flashed the twrp 3.8.4.0, it says it was successful, but then I'll reboot, get to the safestrap screen, hit recovery, and it is still the older one with safestrap 3.75, not the updated one I just flashed. If I try to shut down my phone and power on using volume up, home, and power, I get the stock recovery saying that it has detected custom software and blah blah blah. So, I have a bunch of problems and honestly I am not sure what is going on. I have scoured the Web for 3 days now trying to find instructions on updating the recovery, every single one is the same as I described above with the same outcome. I've also been searching for how to install cm12, with the same results. Can anyone help me, I am so annoyed, lost, confused, and just.... please help. Thank you.

Tldr; recovery stuck on safestrap 3.75 regardless of flashing the newer twrp 3.8.4.0, and when trying to reboot into recovery using volume up, home, and power, I get the stock recovery with a message saying custom software detected. Please help.... please. I am on hltevzw with nc4. Rooted with towelroot, and safestrap 3.75.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
you have a retail note 3 cm12 is for the dev edition the retail bootloader will only load samsung based firmware note 3 or 4 or the s5 are possible but all with touchwiz running the samsung kernel.

if you had a dev note 3 it has an unlockable bootloader and you needed to unlock that first.

If you had a dev unit and updated it via kies you just turned it into a retail unit permanently...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danwguy:
I do have the Verizon version, so no dev ed here, but tamasek has put out a version of cm12 that works on the verizon, sprint, and t-mobile versions of the note 3. I realize it's unofficial and we aren't supposed to post about problems with unofficial builds, but my problem covers more than just cm12 not working. I never knew that tidbit about upgrading via kies ruins dev edition though, that's a trip.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
Yep kies loads the retail bootloader and since it is the exact same hardware with the exception of an unlock able bootloader and a dev bit flipped the retail bootloader will load to it and flip the dev bit off... it may work or hard brick the unit i can't remember i want to say the unit worked and was for all intents a retail unit after that.

I can't find any thing on a version of cm12 for the retail version also sprint and t-mobile don't count those devices don't have locked bootloader I was looking to confirm but I know the t-mobile one was unlocked looking at the sprint section that one seems like it too.

only att and Verizon locked them... and Verizon has the $ 700 dev units in which all that was done is a bit was flipped and an unlock able bootloader installed.

just found his thread on it yes his cm12 is for dev units on Verizon only...

Do you have any idea why, after I flash the twrp 3.8.4.0 recovery from safestrap recovery, after I reboot I am still showing safestrap and the older twrp. It's like the new version flashes, but then just disappears and the old version loads up.

Because TWRP doesn't work on the Verizon Note 3...that is why SafeStrap exists. Safestrap is based on TWRP but is not TWRP.

They exist in different areas of memory safe strap essentially hijacks the boot process before the phone can boot and tells it to instead boot this way if you want to update the version of twrp it us using you need to update safestrap it is what is holding us back from 4.4.4 and it will be what slows 5.0 unless someone updates safestrap or comes up with something new.
