[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, as you dont learn anything. and next time you need some simple service to your phone, youll have no idea how to do it. root toolkits are not good for newbies, only if you already kniw what you are doing. besides, its not any quicker, doing it the proper way takes 3-4 minutes. its a nexus, and easy rooted. google even gives us the option of unlocking the bootloader, so no hacking needed.

This is the easiest device I've ever worked with but my first Nexus. I figured it was the same for everybody.

any nexus is easy. once you get the basics, its very easy compared to the other devices. but the basics are important :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No they're all different because of proprietary bootloaders. Some don't even have fastboot and some of those that do, do not natively have unlock functions that we have on nexuses
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welshandy2322:
I've downloaded android studio and every time I go back and open it it always reinstalls everything
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
whats android studio? all you need to root is fastboot, but adb is good to have as well, for any future issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welshandy2322:
There was a guide I was reading that said to download android studio. I'll have another crack at it tomorrow

This needs to be stickied at the top of this forum section. It's the only way to go
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
I have spent several hours, if not days, in front of an ADB terminal and I'm not sure it's the best way to learn. Maybe it is if you have very exacting instructions.

Yes there are hundreds of guides out and there are plenty of ways to do it wrong out there too. At least with the tool you see the commands that are being run and he double checks every step you do. He also keeps it updated with the latest drivers and versions.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Bad advice imo, root/toolkits do not educate users. Fastboot/adb/bootloader is the way to go so they are able to solve issues ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
Yes, but sometimes we just want to get on and do things; we don't always want to be educated. I can use my phone without knowing how the hardware works. I drive my cars with only a fairly hazy understanding of how the internal combustion engine operates. Heck, I can even breath, eat and sleep every day without a degree in medicine.

I've gone through the pain of rooting enough phones over the years - when I got my N6 I just wanted to get it rooted and be over and done with, and that's where the rootkit was invaluable.

Rooting a phone is not an end in itself - it's a step on a journey to install and use those apps that require root. I just wanted to get to that point as quickly as possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
OK point taken, not talking about hardware though but about software that can occur with toolkits. If problems arise users are often stuck with a problem they can't solve. That's what I mean with education and then they post a thread to get help from users that know how to deal with issues ?

I think you have xda-developers mistaken for either an end-user site, or a support site. It is not. It is a developer site for developers and for those who want to learn how things related to mobile devices work.

If you believe the journey is to install and use root apps, you are mistaken. Please see here: http://goo.gl/lrs8H
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
Well thank goodness that most of the developers on here don't take that attitude, or you'd get half a dozen people in a tiny forum all scratching each other's backs in a mutually masturbatory way and going "gosh wow, we're so clever - and let's make sure than none of these noobies can understand what we do".

Fortunately there are people (like WugFresh, ChainFire and many others) who actually want to help people get the most out of their phones. Perhaps you might consider taking a leaf out of their books?

I think that you fall into the trap of many of the developers I employ, and who can't see that development in and of itself is a pointless exercise, unless there's something to develop for and a userbase that will use that product.

There are developer-specific sub-forums on here, and they (quite rightly) discourage non developers, but if you really think that the general forums on here are just a developer's playground then you really are in cloud cuckoo land.

I had a specific problem - updating from 5.0.1 to 5.1 while retaining root - and I found the answer to that through reading a number of threads here. I then wrote up what worked for me, in the hope that it would help other people. You have no idea what I plan to do with my device from that point.

If you are really so fixated on learning "how things related to mobile devices work", then I'm surprised that you are prepared to use the operating system that the people at Google wrote for you - surely you should be spending your time writing your own operating system (after designing the hardware for the phone, obviously) instead of sniping at people who express a valid view.

looks like i've run into a issue, i've been trying to enter recovery and i keep getting a android with red triangle, any ideas
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The Android with the red triangle

is

the stock recovery main screen. To access the menu of the stock recovery from that screen, you need to hold down the power button and press volume up.

Have a read of this. Although it was written for the Galaxy Nexus, it is almost entirely applicable to any Nexus device.

You need to install custom recovery to install a custom rom.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
download the latest TWRP to your PC. Then boot your Nexus to the bootloader

At the command prompt on your pc do this...

adb reboot bootloader OR power off the phone and then boot holding power+vol down

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <--replace recovery.img with the filename of the TWRP image. Of course you will need to be in the directory of the files or type the full path to the .img

Once its flashed use the volume up till you see recovery on phones screen and then hit the power button. You'll now boot into TWRP recovery where you can flash away!

You might be able to use TWRP manager app to install the recovery too --not sure if it suports the N6..I don't use it

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bryt:
I got a Wallaby PW10B1 from my friend.

The original ROM version is 4.01.16, but doesn't work.

When I downgrade it to 3.17.03 or special_rom_1.2, the PDA part works, but there is no phone signal.

I also tried some other WM2003 version rom, all of them don't work, which I saw a T-mobile screen and can't go further.

Could you guys help me to figure out the problem?

Thanks!:D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
Where are you located?

PW10B uses 900/1900 MHz gsm networks.... Maybe this causes your problems with the signal.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bryt:
Thanks for your reply. I'm in State College, PA, and have no idea which frequency Cingular is using here. I went to Cingular Store here, and put one of their SIM card in my phone, but there is still no signal.

I noticed another thing, with most PocketPC 2002 BIOS, my device is recognized as PW10A1, but on the back it's PW10B1. I tried couple of WM2003 ROM, none of them is working (can't enter the PDA OS, system will hung there after the logo is showed)

Do you guys have any idea what kind of problem it could be?:D :rolleyes:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bryt:
Thanks man! I will look at it.:D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Kitties:
Here's What You Need To Do . . .

Hi, bryt. :)

From the information you have provided, it appears as though you have an incorrect ROM image loaded on your XDA. The PW10B1 will adopt the personality of a PW10A1 if the ROM image for a PW10A1 is loaded onto it. However, this will

not

make a PW10B1 function as a PW10A1.

The biggest drawback of having the wrong ROM image loaded on your XDA is that you cannot apply the OEM ROM updates that were originally supplied by A.T.& T. Wirelese and Siemens. The reason these OEM ROM images won't load is because they actually do some device validation before loading. Originally implemented as a safety precaution, these device validation routines have become a hinderance because they prevent you from forcing a ROM update to correct a previous bad ROM update. There is good news though . . .

The PW10B1 has a mode that allows byte copying a ROM image directly from a flash card to the XDA ROM. I have converted the Siemens OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update to a flash-writable nk.nb1 image file that can be written to a Secure Digital (SD) flash card and then force-loaded onto the PW10B1.

I developed this process after loading an undesirable ROM image on my PW10B1 in order to unlock it, which was successful. :D But, then I had a terrible time getting the OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update back on the XDA.

I make the OEM installer version of the Windows Mobile 2003 Update available on my web-site. I do not offer the flash-loadable version on my web-site though. If you are interested in having the flash-loadable version of the OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update, let me know and I will place it on my web-site and send you a link. The file is 32MB uncompressed and about half that size compressed, so I will probably put it on the web-site as a .zip file if you decide that you would like it.

Good luck!

Lisa:)

Does anybody make a cheap cradle that just has a hole in the bottom and back so you can pull the usb cord through the cradle, plug in phone, then set down phone onto it keeping phone in portrait position? I have a note 3 with a big case and I am trying to find a dock that would work. Seems to me a wire pulled through the cradle is the easiest solution. Could work with any phone. Heck, a woodworking hobbyist could build one out of wood!

In the alternative a dock for note 3 in a hybrid case would also be cool. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your suggestions.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenFoxHound:
Hello, so i have my nexus 5 since a little while now, and there is one problem that have always been there : the sound while recording a video.

When recording a video, the sound is AWFUL, probably the worst I've ever heard on a smartphone, seriously. It's like if I was under water or something like that.

That problem ruined some videos that I took with my daughter, videos that I will not be able to shoot again. Precious moments ruined by a ****ty camera. That really makes me upset.

It doesn't matter which android version I'm on, it happens on 4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1 (Which I'm currently running)..

Also, the battery is a complete shame after upgrading to android 5.1 .. I used to get 4h30 to 5h SOT, now I'm barely getting 3h to 4h SOT, at the same settings.. (Cataclysm 5.1 + Kernel code_blue r901, CPU governor set at Conservative, min frequency at 600 MHz, max at 1500 MHz).

I don't know what to do anymore as I've tried everything or almost everything to max out the battery and all but in the end I get stupid results as if I were running stock ROM and kernel. I mean, come on, I disabled everything that could eat up battery and underpowered the CPU but I still get stupid battery life. Why ?

I hope you can help me, thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indigobv:
For better sound quality I suggest you check out this mod: [MOD] [ROOT] Camcorder Audio Quality Fix with Stereo Recording and Playback Support by chdloc.

The mod is compatible with pretty much any AOSP-based ROM, so I think you should be fine with Cataclysm 5.1.

But since I don't want to be responsable for anything that happens to your phone, especially if it's your daily use phone, I suggest you do a backup.

Check the Aroma installer for easy installation.

Do you use the data widget from Verizon?

log-into my Verizon look at your data & promotional data should show up in blue.

- A race time predictor for marathon, half marathon, 10K and custom distances.

- A calorie calculator.

This app works with both metric system and imperial system.

The addon is okay, but here's some more that are good too, Lihattv, IPTV Stalker, Sparkys Streams, Stream Engine and Mega Reborn. The five I mentioned are not as well known as say Sportsdevil or AAA Streams, but they are still good. To me AAA Streams is basically garbage. I do use AAAA Streams, but all they are doing is basically copy pasting M3U list and rarely do they delete them even when all the links are dead. I do not fault them for supposedly taking other peoples work for their addon, cause nothing belongs to anyone making th addons anyway, and they are all stealing from entertainment companies so it serves them right for AAA Streams to steal from them too. They all steal, but hate to get stole from, makes no sense, but its funny.

Nope. Try to flash the latest nightly hopefully it will overwrite the pattern lock. as you dont ahve to format system cache or data. or log in through your google account. if this doesn't work format system cache data and dalvik and flash the rom again. hope this helps.
