Guys,

We've seen several people have flashed system.img's and OTA's and ended up in a bootloop.. Not the end of the world really, BUT for some reason, before you can unlock your bootloader using fastboot, you must enable OEM unlock in Developer options in Android settings - which you cannot do if you are bootlooping.

If you still have a custom recovery, you'll be fine but if you're 100%, locked bootloader and bootlooping, we haven't found a fix yet so please do not lock your bootloader.

If you feel you absolutely must relock your bootloader (at your own risk) please boot the phone up to check it works properly before doing this. If you intend flashing roms and kernels or custom recoveries, locking the bootloader is not a good idea

Please also see the below link provided by [MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION]

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en

This goes into more detail about how google have enhanced device security with 5.1 and some other pitfalls that you may wish to avoid. This is pretty salient information, so do give it a read.
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianJay:
Good advice, i would add to that NEVER LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER. ???
[Nexus 6  General] daijizai:
And I would add that I completely disagree with this statement. Coming from an infosec standpoint, I keep my bootloader locked, and just suffer the reset when I need to tweak. If you don't, anyone - not just you - can replace your system partition or boot a random IMG which could inject functionality. This may not be the most common mechanism for attack as it requires physical access, but it basically obviates the encryption with a deepfreeze style boot IMG.

Additionally, when you think about this in context of the border crossing exemptions many countries, including the US, have to protections against unwarranted search, I would recommend that anyone with proprietary or sensitive business data who crosses international borders keeps their bootloader locked when not modifying the system. Also, until custom recoveries include security features, I recommend using stock.

Why are we making our phones so insecure just to have root? Not cool.
[Nexus 6  General] y2whisper:
So just to be clear the correct procedure would be to boot the device after updating enable the setting and then go and lock your bootloader? Or just keep it unlocked overall.

Personally I keep mine unlocked but for those wanting to take full advantage of androids new device protection a locked bootloader would serve a purpose. Preventing someone from just flashing a custom rom and keeping your device.

I thought I really #$# up

Thank you for posting this...when 5.1 was dropping, I attempted to return to stock...all the way.to be able to take Verizon's OTA...when i locked the boot loader, i was stuck in a boot loop with the android guy and the gear box spinning FOREVER.....its is not easy to get out of the loop, but i managed to boot back up into boot loader mode, and force a stock image using toolkit.

I am now unlocked, running 5.1 on Verizon, have full LTE/VOLTE, can speak and surf at same time...i have not rooted yet...but just glad it was not me....had a heart attack two nights ago...

im so new to this but im rooted with an unlocked bootloader but im running full stock android. i only rooted just so i can chance the provision to get free tethering with my unlimited data. i have the wugfresh nexus tool kit and cant for the life of me figure out how to upgrade my nexus 6 to 5.1. Is there in anyone that can get me a step by step on how to update so i can take advantage of hd calling and silmutaneous voice and data... ive been waiting tooooooooooo long for this update..
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Hi root,

I saw that thread yesterday ...

I thought this was already covered when the N6 came out, to get the bootloader unlocked you had to do a 1st boot of the device and ENABLE OEM Unlock, then you were good to go to get into fastboot and unlock.

The reason was google put the option there for 5.0, vice all our previous versions which had no toggle for it.

I think it was people jumping the gun and not doing that first boot, but immediately jumping into fastboot and flashing, and that caused it, yes? Because the BL wasn't unlocked, they couldn't flash the OTA and boot img ...
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
This is nonsense.

You need *physical* access to it in order to carry out such an attack.

If your phone leaves your PHYSICAL access, then you already know not to trust what is on it, whether or not it has an unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
There is no need to lock the device to take an OTA. You can keep it unlocked and do an ota
[Nexus 6  General] daijizai:
Not nonsense. Yes you need physical access to carry out the attack, but with a locked bootloader and the new precautions against unlocking and fastboot it makes locked bootloaders fairly bulletproof.

I cannot recommend unlocked bootloaders to anyone that works SCIF'd and leaves their phone in a shared box during the day, anyone that crosses international borders, or anyone whose phone might contain IP or trade secrets and could be a target of theft.

This is as much about trusting the phone afterwards as it is about protecting your data on the phone - even when encrypted.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Just keep it unlocked
[Nexus 6  General] nyteryder79:
I had this boot loop also, but clearing Cache and Dalvik seemed to fix the loop for me.

I would like to commend a wider group of holders of Android, its new application for this system - this time a simple game.

What's going on in the game

The game is very simple and it consists of several competitions: Unlimited, Classic, Arcade (with several levels of difficulty), Speed (time gameplay), Speed Plus (difficult version of the game Speed). I will give a description of each mode below.

In the game, the idea is to click on the yellow circular field. Hit the blue box ends the game. The game looks simple, but not always the case. Yellow field with time can be reduced (as in Arcade mode), so it is harder to hit in these fields

Description of game modes

Unlimited mode - collect spots as long as you do not hit. Most points wins!

Classic mode - This developed unlimited mode, in which each spot is assigned a different point value. Over time, this value decreases , and the spot is growing - which easier to hit it

Arcade Mode - This mode is divided into three levels of difficulty. The first - the easy mode is to gathering spots, live and additional facilities during the game, such as the release time, or bomb blowing up all the spots. You should hurry because time appears on the board more and more spots, and they are becoming smaller. Medium difficulty mode is an extension of Easy mode. In this mode, the game starts with three spots. Display time spots is shorter, so they quickly disappear. You have to hurry! Hard mode is still more accelerated version of the medium difficult mode. In this game you must press spots in specific order. At each level of the game difficulty, be careful of fail spots - They receive one life!

Speed Mode - This game involves pressing spots as soon as possible. The more collect, the better the results you get. Speed counts! In the Pro version, the time is Unlimited - the game goes on until the first mistake! There are also game for 15 seconds 30 seconds

Speed+ Mode - The rules are the same as in Speed mode, but you must press spots in the correct order. In this mode, the Pro version is also - in which we play for time first mistake by miss.

Description of application permissions - and what applications they need

These powers are needed to store the application code file on the SD card qcode when someone clicks on the "Share" in the application. In other cases it is not in use

The application needs access to the internet to be able to connect to the server, Google Games, to be able to publish your results in the tables of records of individual competitions and also grant awards for achievements in the game. Permission is also needed to display ads that appear in the application.

Bug??

I really like that app :) and i already bought it, but it doesn't work very well on my htc m8, sometimes it blocks the homebutton and i can't do anything, i have to restart the phone to make it work again...

I really wanna use it, can you look into that?
[Android Apps and Games] Julien.H:
Do you know when this happen espacilly?
[Android Apps and Games] MarcelBo:
The first time i recognize it after i opened a message from the lockscreen, but I have the feeling it happens randomly with messages opened from the homescreen or inside an other app too...I have no idea what it could be, to uncheck the lockscreen option in your app doesn't have an affect on that behavior.... Or is it maybe a telegram problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Julien.H:
update

- Fixed errors in Dashdow engine

- Opacity added for plus version

I am trying to create an old school weather center with temperature, Humidity, and Pressure. I can make hands using a progress bar by setting the main and secondary colors clear and setting the gradent to highlight current. I dont like the reverse wedge shape though. What I need are the conditionals for using a rectangle as hands. I need the complete conditionals for a 360 degree sweep for each one, and what to change for different sweeps. Example: I want my humidity to sweep 300 degrees, starting at - 30 degrees. Also. I hear of a way to make bitmap images sweep with progress bar. This may help more as i can use fancy instrument needles for indicators.

I add that apps install fine to SDcard, usb storage works no problem as well, mounting manually in terminal game me no permission flags.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Henkate:
You tried to enable usb debugging in Settings > Developer options ? If developer options doesn't show up, go to Settings > About phone and tap build number fast 10 times. Enable usb debugging and try to connect to computer without that app. You can change between MTP or others in notification bar (if you get notificatiom when you connect phone) or by going to Settings > Storage and press menu button and choose usb storage mode.

Also, did you try to put off sdcard and put it on again?

Only reference I found was this- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49452037&postcount=3697

but links are dead.

Yes, I tried your suggested method, and it connects to PC w/o that app OK. I can mount/unmount SDcard no problems, also another file explorer shows SDcard contents without a hitch, lets me install apps and play files from it, but STORAGE menu from settings is still off limits, even is no SDcard is present in the phone- results in crash to home screen.

I guess thanks to new root explorer, gallery works, so I guess I could manage without that menu as well.

I'm sure that-alike me, many (if not all) of you feel irritated to feed in the PIN/Pattern/Finger Swipe, etc needed to get past the Lock Screen just to call those few people you call 20 outta 25 times you use your phone to call..

Co-Worker :cyclops:

etc, etc, etcetera.. :laugh:

It gets further problematic while one is driving (without Bluetooth) or some other situation which I can't think of now.. :p

Before, Lollipop, when TouchWiz Roms were still fully compatible with Xposed-I used Gestures to get this task accomplished but that's past.. :rolleyes:

I still wanted that ease of not unlocking the phone just to do this simple task..

And then, I, for the VERRRRRRRRRRY 1ST TIME, took note of the Emergency Dialler (that's how Samsung Galaxy Note 3-Lollipop spells Dialer) that sits on our phone's Lock Screen :o

And a 'penny dropped' in my body's data processor.. Lol..

I unlocked my phone.

Opened Contacts app.

Tapped on Group

Selected "ICE - emergency contacts"

Tapped on +

Selected "Add existing contact"

Ticked (selected) the desired contacts and tapped on "DONE"

Went back to where it all began - phone's Lock Screen

Followed by, yes, you guessed it right - the Emergency Dialler

Pressed + (4 contacts can be set to appear on the main screen of the Emergency Dialler)

and that's Me (& now you) saving several taps and annoyances.. :victory:

You can access the other selected contacts by tapping on the Siren icon in the Dial Pad :cool:

I can confirm it works on Samsung's Note 3, S4, S4 Mini, S5, S5 Mini, Tab S (10.5"), Tab S (8.4") & many other newer phones.

I tried it on S3 Mini, though, Emergency Dialler was present there - 4 contacts can't be set in the main screen of the Emergency Dialler, maybe that's the case with S3 too.. :confused:

I hope it helps and this wasn't posted anywhere else-I tried finding it, couldn't find.. :D
