Fastboot -w = erase userdata and cache, format

This appears to work for the lockbrick from relocking bootloader, if TWRP recovery is installed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
So this doesn't work if you have stock recovery installed?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
No one has yet reported success.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
I hope Nexus doesn't make the next Nexus, I somehow believe that Motorola is to blame. No one that I saw in the Nexus 5 reported any bricks after 5.1. Now grant it it's not like I did intensive research. But something tells me if N5 users were experiencing multiple bricks numerous threads would be created like the n6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
That's because the N5 doesn't have the "Enable OEM unlock" setting in Developer options, and thus, it does not need to be checked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
If "Nexus" doesn't make the next Nexus, who will? ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
lol meant to say Motorola lol :)

I wonder why N5 doesn't include it but the N6 does? In anycase you should be able to relock it with no difficulty. Even if it has a flag like Htc does. When you unlock then lock there is a banner that your probably familiar with. In bright red lettering it says "relocked" on the hboot. Since I am pretty sure you need to unlock to flash new update via fastboot. Many users may just want to flash new update and not wait a couple of weeks for OTA. Somepeople need to have a locked device due to work and what not. I guess at least with the N6 people with business phones just have to wait for OTA since manually flashing upate can brick your phone. Lets hope 5.1.1 resolves this issue
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentoolkit:
I have the same problem. My original plan was to flash Android M Developer Review to my Nexus 6 but I accidentally flashed wrong system and recovery images (I did some flashing with my Nexus 5 a little earlier and got confused, badly... you can guess the rest...). Now the bootloader is locked and there is no way to enable the unlocking functionality from the system settings. I sent queries to several service companies that located in Finland (I live in Finland) but once they understood the situation, the only thing they could offer was a motherboard replacement (at least 300€ for the board + other expenses). I even sent a message to Motorola and they recommended the same service companies that I had already contacted. I must admit that this is not a comfortable situation. One service company claimed that they have special tools from Motorola so I send the device to them. I will post more information ones I know how it went.

UPDATE: I got a reply from the service company to whom I send my Nexus 6. Aparently the whole memory chip is designed so that it cannot be accessed in any way. Aparently this information came directly from Motorola.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmanioKZ:
Hello. sorry for my English. I use Google translator. then your device does not recover? or we can hope that Google will provide an opportunity to repair?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentoolkit:
Well, the service company claimed that they have contacted the manufacturer (Motorola?), and apparently, the memory chip cannot be accessed in any way under these circumstances. They also claimed that they are certificated by Motorola. I got the same response from the service company recommended by Motorola's customer service. The warranty is void which mean that I must either buy a new motherboard (current cost estimate for the board and other expenses is 359€, or about 395USD) or sell the phone as spare parts. Right now I am negotiation with my insurance company in the hopes of getting some money back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmanioKZ:
Thanks for your reply! Do you think that will not be able to solve the problem programmatically? I mean, is it possible that it will release software to solve this problem?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentoolkit:
A guy from the service company explained that the memory chip is designed in such a way that even the manufacturer is cannot to access it programmatically. I got the impression that some older models had feature that allowed the chip to be accessed with special tools but this feature is disabled (by design) in Nexus 6. I am guessing that some sort of security vulnerability could allow an expert to access the memory chip but I think it is rather unlikely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmanioKZ:
Thank you very much for your reply. Will wait for good news from hackers (developers) XDA
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As this is a security feature to protect against theft/data loss, there would be no "hack" as such programming is not allowed on XDA. Please read the rules. :) I'm sorry that return is not an option but this is a risk YOU decided to take when you chose to alter your device. Sadly, this has happened many times and if you had done a fair bit of reading beforehand, you could have avoided this situation.

Thanks for your reply. By changing the device involved, I do not. I bought it in this state for 150 USD. Box and papers are, but in our country there is no service center Motorola and Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentoolkit:
Well, at least I learned that one should always triple-check everything before relocking the bootloader on these new devices. I am not 100% sure about what went wrong but flashing the wrong system and recovery images seems to be a suitable explanation since erasing the userdata and cache partitions did not help. I had to update the fastboot binary in the middle of the flashing process so it is also possible that the old binary might have corrupted the eMMC somehow... It is also very strange that the "Allow OEM Unlock" option got disabled at some point. But anyway, booting the device before relocking the bootloader would have prevented the problem altogether.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
I just read that BeanStalk development has been stopped for the One S. That made me curious about if anyone has ever used the rom and which roms and kernels are actually preferred by other One S users. AOSP or Sense, better stable or better bleeding edge? :P
[HTC One S] adobrakic:
I was on CM12, but was tired of the lack of customization. I'm currently on Ressurrection Remix, but while it works fine on this old phone, the bluetooth stops working when wifi is connected (and vice versa). Not sure why this is happening, so I may go to other ROMs to try to find one where it works, but otherwise RR has been pretty good for me.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Whats the reason you prefer HBOOT 2.16?
[HTC One S] kondziowy:
That is interesting, I thought it's my battery that is just dying. How much better is battery life on 4.2.2?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
Today was a day of bad news. I just read this article and apparently the Lollipop update does not bring the new camera API to the Xperia Z1/2/3 series. I could cry!

Now I was wondering, since Custom ROMs can alter so much for a device, whether they can enable the camera API even though Sony doesn't. It would be awesome if there's a developer who could manage to do this - if at all possible of course. I was planning on making a video of these potential new camera controls, but I was surprised to see that Sony just didn't allow the API to be used (I don't know the technical details so correct me if I'm wrong about the actual phrasing there).

Do you have any thoughts on this? Are you a developer, and do you have any experience with this or similar APIs? I for one have no idea if it can be made to work with the Xperia Z1/2/3's camera at all. I'd love to know! :highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
I'm not entirely impressed with the camera either, and can't believe we have waited this long for Sony to release the lollipop update, which not only doesn't improve the camera, but its also just 5.0.. i thought the whole delay in the lollipop update was due to the initial quirks in the 5.0 build meaning they would roll out 5.1? :rolleyes:

At this point in the game with the competition you cannot be releasing flagships marketed as the worlds best camera which is actually very mediocre. I'm truly disappointed in Sony and will likely not be holding on to my Z3 for much longer.

As it stands, have you tried the 20mp SuperiorAuto xposed module? I have seen quite a significant improvement, if you can live with the occasional crashes...

Hi I just got a wizard and its works great except I cant get wifi working, I keeps connecting but never gets a ip, I tried it on 2 diferent routers, I tried it with Socket Wi-Fi Companion but didnt work either :(

anyone got a idea what could be wrong, thanks

I just noticed it registered my dns and dhcp server on 192.168.2.1 but this is wrong... they are both one 192.168.1.1 but I have no idea how to correct it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Junner2003:
What routers are you using? Linksys?

Any encryption or MAC filter enabled?

Did you try setting up a static IP address on your device? (SETTINGS -> WLAN)

I sometimes don't get WiFi either. A soft reset helps in that case at least on mine. Seems like the WIZ just drops the drivers for WLAN sometimes when it starts up - don't ask me why!

oh ya sory forgot to mention..

I tried static ip but I dont think i can use that if I got dhcp enabled on my router, can I?

I'll try turning that off later tho if needed

I just edited my dns server to 192.168.1.1 but the dhcp one is still wrong
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Junner2003:
If you have a REGISTRY EDITOR installed try the stuff below. Please be patient and do not make a hard reset when done but power off the wizard by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. The WIZ tends to drop latest changes if you soft reset it too fast. After you restarted the device see if you can connect.

Enable 802.11g WiFi network connectivity

While the phone by default only connects to 802.11b WiFi networks, it is capable of connecting to 802.11g WiFi networks as well, once this is enabled:

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)

To set back to default:

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 4 (DWORD decimal)

Note that your network speed won't appreciably increase, but this is the only way to enable connectivity to 802.11g-only networks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kegobeer:
If it works with security disabled, then you didn't set up the network settings on your Wizard correctly. I run WPA/PSK on my network and have no problems. I recommend reviewing your router and Wizard settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tip-Ex:
I had a similar problem connecting to a wireless AP (With central DHCP server) at work while my wizard worked fine at home just the other day.

I went and hardcoded the following information into the registry

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Params\Tcpip\DhcpServer

DhcpServer is a Multi Line Value. I just added the IP of our DHCP server at work to this value as an extra and it connected...

I also had to check the

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Params\Tcpip\DhcpSubnetMask value

because the network where I work has a 255.255.255.128 subnet
