Say whatever you want, it's a free board.

"Scheme" is an appropriate term, btw: it's a crafty path, a method and way of doing something. If you don't like that terminology, argue with Merriam Webster.

This scheme is "yours" in the sense of it being the one you linked to in this topic and started evangelizing. I see how active you are in that Slickdeals topic and it's obvious you've invested in using the various methods involved. It's as much "yours" in this topic as anyone who contributed to the wiki, obviously.

Further, "spreading the word" doesn't need to include treating me as if I'm doing something wrong by avoiding that scheme - I'm not insulted or amused, just now becoming mildly annoyed at your odd insistence to habitually respond in weird attempts to somehow counter my explanations of why I don't see personal value in trying those methods, as if I should suddenly wake up, see the light and just go along with it all.

Not that you should even care, but I don't cleanly meet the line/phone/upgrade criteria for most of the methods shown that can use Verizon as the path: 4ever, Flying Arrow, Snkydvl, etc. The paths most likely to fit with our account status involve using a third party - hence, the "switch order" reference.

Let's make this clear: you don't know me, my account or what I've read and how many options I researched before determining my current way to get a Nexus 6 on this line - don't assume I need schooling on this. I thanked you for your time and reference, have given you the time of day, but I don't think you should expect anything more in my clarifications.

I in no way implied you were doing something wrong. Something that I consider foolish, sure, but wrong, no.

You are OTT and now I need to shut this conversation down. Ciao!

Good luck with those "lower" data plan prices Verizon is offering, lol!
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
It seems you have no idea what you actually said, there. And, I'm staying with my UPD - the Rep was apparently offering me discount at the store, not one available online.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOneinNeed:
So I bought a Chinese OnePlus One, and it came pre-installed with CM 11 version 11.0-XNPH33r.

Connected to wifi, and got the system update for 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental, so I click download and install.

It reboots phone, then it loads ColorOS recovery looking screen with Chinese written on it and a green loading bar, then The CM splash icons comes back and loads. (alien looking guy with an arrow circling around his head)

After all that, I go to check the version and I'm still stuck at 11.0-XNPH33r!

I tried manually doing it from ColorOS recovery with 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental zip file, it installs about 3/4 of the way and then fails.

My Kernel Version is : 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g0ad30e5

My ColorOS Recovery Version is : 1.2 (Rooted)

I've been looking around the forums, and I see people manually updating using TWRP which I don't have.

Can someone please help me, and if you have a solution can you please give me a step by step direction since I'm new to flashing/rooting and this phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I have a guide thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2839471

It contains instructions on how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery (sections 1 and 2). Before doing anything though you should check the status of your bootloader because it might already be unlocked. You'll need to follow the instructions at the top of the guide to install your phone drivers and also adb/fastboot via the Android SDK. Once you have done that you can boot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power + volume up), connect your phone to your PC via usb cable, open a command prompt from your fastboot folder (shift + right click anywhere within the foler, then select open command prompt here), and issue this command:

fastboot oem device-info

Please post the results here.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOneinNeed:
Thanks man. I actually tried the flashing of 44s on the guide you sent me and it worked. Sorry for my last reply. You've been a great help and my phone is up to date.

Two last question if you don't mind. When the new update comes, can I install through Settings> About Phones> System Updates

or do I have to do something similar to the flashing I just did

after flashing my custom recovery is gone (TWRP) and the Cyanogen Mod Recovery took its place. Should I leave it like that or get TWRP and if TWRP is the answer, do I use the same method I did installing the custom recovery?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You should now have no problems receiving automatic updates through the settings menu. You can leave the stock recovery if you want to, or you can flash TWRP again. If you don't intend on flashing any custom ROMs or mods then the stock recovery should suit you just fine. Flashing a recovery is done via fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.4.1.img

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
My phone works with LTE data through multiple ROMs however anything that relies on CDMA (voice/text/3G) will not work. It seems to have happened right after I flashed the SaberMod+ Unofficial CM12 on the 02/01 nightly. Has anyone experienced this and fixed the problem. Let me know if you need any extra details.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
it sounds like your unit is on LTE only which voice and all that great stuff don't work on.

Use the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*

Then select phone information

Then make sure you are on LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) if this doesn't work either set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL)

report back with what yours is on.

You could also manually flash the stock android image to see if everything works as it should
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
Funny thing. I'm on LTE/CDMA (auto). Any time I try to set it to just CDMA, it bounces back to LTE/CDMA. I can't set 3G or 1x as an option under Mobile Networks either.

Also doesn't work when I set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA. :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
That is very weird, I personally would do a full backup then flash the factory images from google and see if your issue goes away. Have you tried using the update profile/update prl under mobile settings?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
I've tried using a 'Stock' ROM to force provision with no luck. I haven't been able to completely revert back to stock yet. I'll report after I've tried this. PRL Update does nothing to help unfortunately.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Yea, I would use the actual images from googles website to go back to stock, rather than those zips in the android development forum.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
Do you recommend against using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock or should that work fine?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
I personally do not recommend toolkits, I learned to use fastboot, but not everyone wants to do this. The problem with toolkits is if something goes wrong youll end up stuck unless you know how to do the commands. Plenty have used it here to flash stock, but YMMV.

If you have a computer with ADB already setup and don't mind getting dirty, go the manual route and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have a computer setup already you could try wugs.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Have you tried the *#*#72786#*#* code?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
It just disappears after I enter it. What did it do?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
You may need to be on a stock ROM for it to work. A menu should open and you select reset. It reprovisions your data service. No personal data is lost.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it again after I finally get on Stock Unrooted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirslipzalot:
Whelp, I flashed to complete stock and got my CDMA back. Now to try what killed it again to see if it's consistent, since I know how to fix it now. I really like the SaberMod+ CM12. It was a pity what happened before.

Hopefully this'll be helpful for anyone who gets stuck in a similar situation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebertshay:
Hello everyone,

My cm auto updater hasn't been working for about the last week. It used to work fine, but just randomly stopped.

Basically what happens is I download a nightly, and then hit reboot and install like usual, but then it just boots to twrp and doesn't actually run the update. I tried putting the downloaded file on the root and flashing it manually through twrp, but when I swipe to flash the screen goes black and reboots twrp.

I tried wiping and clean installing cm, which worked fine, but the next nightly still did the same thing.

I also tried upgrading to the latest twrp, which also didn't fix it....

Any ideas? Thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
known bug/issue. their G+ is flooded with the same reports, most users state they just flash the zip in twrp from the cmupdater folder.

Look into using Cyandelta for updates, this results in smaller downloads and less problems in my experience.

Awesome, I tried cyan delta and it worked perfect. Thanks!

is there a way to flash or just unlock a T-Mobile Note 3 and run it on Verizon Wireles?
[General Questions and Answers] hexmodio:
Not sure if this is of interest to anyone.

FULL SYSTEM ACCESS ??

But I have just realised that when using linux, if you plug the phone into the system via cable

it pops up a with all of the different partitions on the phone.

Look like system partition, boot partition, backup etc etc. There are 5-6 I think.

These are all system partitions. So far I have only been able to access the main system partition via RarLab's Unrar.

But this is a new development I hope as we can now access all files to do with the phone.

Maybe this can help in developing some Custom Rom's as there is nothing at the moment.

I am not much of a developer, mearly noticed upon a chance to make this phone really good.

:fingers-crossed:

p.s If it doesnt work, maybe I had the bottom volume button held and booted into recovery (not sure).

So I just got the ZW. Powered up and paired, got some notifications and all was fine. Left the house for 15 minutes came back to see a blank screen with the little cloud symbol at the top (always on is on). The original watch face is now not available and if I try to send new faces from the A. wear app they do not show up. Bluetooth connection is off and on with the phone (M8) the beside watch.

Performed a reset through the menu. Updated software through menu. No change to Bluetooth issues and most watch faces are gone from within watch menu...

Do I have a dud?

The little cloud means that the watch is not paired connected to your phone. I would delete android wear and Zenwatch manager, if you have it, then reinstall and pair to your watch.

I bet it's an open source game that a handful of people barely tweaked and then published it as themselves and not crediting the original coder.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerMUK:
Alright peeps,

Anyway;

1) Does 5ghz bands work on your Nexus 6 ?

2) Does your adaptive brightness toggle stay off, or does it turn itself back on, on its own ?

I asked in the Franco Kernel thread, but I doubt its anything to do with that.

Let me know if you guys have had issues with either.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Both work fine here. What rom are you running?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerMUK:
I'm stock, with root, Franco's Kernel, TWRP and no encryption.

Thats why I asked in the Franco thread first.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Your OP is a little vague, but I am assuming you cannot connect to 5ghz wifi? Is the router updated with newest firmware?

For the adaptive brightness does your just randomly turn on? Or does it randomly turn off? Mine do neither, they stay put where I toggle them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerMUK:
Yeah it might be a Netgear AP thing, but I could have sworn I saw the 5ghz SSID before I started changing things.

Also yeah it randomly turns itself back on after I've turned it off.

5 GHz WIFI Issue on Nexus 6 [SOLVED] - Use Upper Channel

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DonnieDio:
Really love everything I've seen about this phone and I'm currently looking at finding it for the best price. I'd rather keep my cheap sim only deal and buy it outright. Anyway the best price I can see around is from O2 at only £289.99 (then cashback from Quidco/Topcashback brings it down to £275). They also seem to allow unlocking to other networks (https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form).

I've been reading here and can see that there is a way to root the phone and install a custom OS without falling into Sony's DRM trap (http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343/page13). So I can unlock it and remove any O2 specific branding their might be in the OS.

However the last thing I need to know is this. Does this model have any O2 specific branding on the phone itself (as in logo's on the casing ect?).

If anyone with the O2 model could just let me know I'd appreciate it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LondonMpee:
I just got this phone, No O2 branding on case, boot animation is O2 bubbles and a couple of apps inside.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I couldnt live with a phone that's impossible to customize, especially with branding on it. So my next option is a D5833 version of the phone for £289.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DonnieDio:
Ok, I checked out the manual for the Z3 Compact D5833 against the wireless bands used in the UK and it supports all those used by EE (2G, 3G and 4G) and only doesn't support 4G on Three and O2. I usually go with any of the EE network providers as its best in my area so I've gone with this phone for £289, delivered tomorrow, can't wait :D

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] apjashley:
I bought the D5803 when it was £239.99 (+free Chromecast) on O2 PAYG. The firmware is O2 specific and branded, but easily changed to the 3 firmware by flashing. No logos on the handset itself.

The biggest pain was getting it unlocked via code, the codes are much more expensive for this phone on eBay. One seller couldn't get me a code after a week of waiting, then another got me one in 24 hours (for £10).

Really happy with it so far and an absolute bargain for a brand-new phone from an official retailer.

I unexpectedly got a nice surprise this morning with a hefty 400mb update via ATT Update Server OTA. It was 4.4.4, not 5 as hoped but at least it's something.

4.4.4

Baseband: G900AUCU2A01

Kernal: 3.4.0-3116194

Build: KTu84P.G900AUCU2AOA1

The strange thing is after the update, I got an notice that it updated successfully, it said a software update was available again. Downloaded it, and it was almost 500MB but then said there wasn't room to install it. I cleared a bunch of photos and file and then the cache and when I went back, continue update was grayed out. I'm thinking I managed to delete it when I cleared the cache. Wonder if that was Lollipop. Did the date trick and checked update again and said up to date. So who knows, but there was nothing in the FOTA folder.

I called ATT and they were not even aware that it 4.4.4 was being pushed out OTA yet. Said that only 4.4.2 was the most recent, and of course knew nothing about when 5 would be out.
