[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I concur with the cautions posted by several individuals (including myself!). If you are seeking compatibility, a pure android experience or an easy to mod device look elsewhere! Novice users who value a simple UI and need some hand holding may find the HDX attractive. Fire OS isn't horrible and comes with free Mayday support. Perfect for the proverbial grandmother.

The pros are compelling if you have an 'older' device, are willing to invest the time and assume some risks which can be mitigated through care. Fast processor, beautiful screen, great sound, different form factor (personal preference), solid build, long battery life. With a decent rom you can get the best of Google and Amazon plus fantastic hardware in a single device. Unfortunately, most 'newer' devices can not be rooted or unlocked severely limiting potential.

I love my HDX 7" (unlocked) running Nexus (soon CM12). It is easy to live with and accompanies me everywhere. I don't regret the time invested but would NOT recommend it to others unless you are true tinker at heart and have the technical skills to recover should thing go wrong. And they will. Understand what can/can't be done which is highly contingent on the level of Fire OS that is currently installed.

I bought a 32 gb and unlocked with cm 11 rom. It's better than nexus 7
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] upshot:
I love mine. I love it more now that I've got rid of the FireOS and am running

straight Android. The hardware is great, and for a 7 inch, it's a fantastic tablet.

I also own the Nexus 7 (2013) and love that as well. Easy to root, lots of development, great

hardware specs....That said, if I had to do it over again, I'd probably get a Samsung Galaxy tab

of some sort for those same reasons.

The HDX is definitely a labor of love. It took some labor to get it set up the way I want it,

but now I really love it. But still, a Galaxy Tab would be the way to go, IMO

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortrex:
I'm trying to recover some important photos that were deleted by mistake on a friend's Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8013) that is running JB. I installed the newest TWRP because I saw some others say they were able to mount the internal SD as UMS. If I disable MTP in TWRP the file recovery applications see nothing. Is there another way to go about this? I've seen someone else saying he was able to do it using dd to do a low level backup of the internal SD, but details are scarce. I don't want to load a different ROM since that would probably wipe out everything I am trying to recover.

Thanks for any advice!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bractar:
Hi,

I bought a 16gb Nexus 9, 2 weeks ago and it's already full.

What's the best solution to expand the storage. I mean a storage where I can install more apps and data.

I read about USB thumb drives but it was always related to photos and videos. Can I install more apps on a USB thumb drive?

Else, can I replace the internal 16gb storage by a 32gb (or more?) storage?

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgardo_0691:
No, you can't replace internal memory. if you root your nexus, You can buy otg flash drive and download from play store stick mount and link2sd to transfer app to the flash memory.

But if you buy from store like Amazon, Best Buy or Google you can return and buy one of 32GB or other tablet with microsd support.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bractar:
thanks!

I think I'll do some research about this method. It looks like a great solution.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairez:
If the Nexus 6 was purchased through Google Play Store, will the 5.1 OTA come directly from Google? If purchased through Motorola will the 5.1 OTA come from Motorola? And does the wireless carrier influence the 5.1 OTA source? For instance, if the Nexus 6 was purchased through Google Play Store and is using Verizon service, does the 5.1 OTA come from Verizon or Google? And if the 5.1 OTA comes from Verizon (Nexus 6 purchased from Verizon), is the update different than what would come directly from Google? All very confusing.

Thanks ...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi, questions go in Q&A forum and also, there is a dedicated thread for OTA information here in general as a sticky. To answer, Google pushes updates to all nexus devices regardless of the carrier or place of purchase. The update is the same for all devices except for the build released on Verizon that has a different build number.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
So my 64GB GRAY Nexus 6 arrived on 5.0 and it wants to update to 5.0.1. I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock and I am going to unlock it then make a nandroid of 5.0. Not sure why I am doing that but I thought I would.

Is there any reason to upgrade to 5.0.1 before flashing to 5.1? I thought I would let the OTA happen, then make another nandroid. Then flash to 5.1. Then make another nandroid.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
If you want to upgrade to 5.1 via the OTA, you have to be on 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
OK that is an upside to taking the 5.0.1 OTA. lol! I was going to flash to 5.1 though b/c I am on Verizon with a non-Verizon branded device and I wasn't sure how the OTAs work if you are using a non-Verizon N6 on Verizon.

Right now I have activated the phone through WiFi w/o a Verizon SIM card in it.

Any downsides for me to take the 5.0.1 OTA? I don't think there are but I wasn't sure if I was missing something.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Nothing I'm aware of.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwalt2:
It's may be easier to just use the factory images to get 5.1 rather than do the 5.0.1 OTA update and then adb sideload the 5.1 OTA update. Whatever you do, don't relock the device until everything is working and booting :).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
thanks, I am going to use the factory images to get to 5.1 but wasn't sure if there were any issues with the 5.0.1 OTA. And I definitely would never relock my bootloader ever!!
[Omni Features Development] lebenskuenstler:
Hello there,

is it under consideration to move from AppOps to something like CM's Privacy Settings since CM11? I know there is criticism towards their approach. If I look at AppOps on the one hand and XPrivacy on the other hand, I think CM's approach is a rather good compromise, esp. if combined with a firewall like DroidWall or AFWall+. AppOps does not feature to set a default policy for newly installed apps, neither to ask for permissions on demand. XPrivacy as the other extreme ask about everything and confuses with dozens of options, which even me as a rather experienced Linux admin overvelmes me:confused:

So I am interested on the perspective/opinions on this.

Best,

LK

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
I flashed a gsm rom on my sprint m7, which put it into a bootloop....

I tried the firmware fix , but ended up with signature failures.

I haven't been able to get the RUU.exe to run on my windows 8 machine.

Wondering if anyone can supply me with 5.05.651.02RUU flashable zip?

I've searched, and see a bunch of flashable firmwares, but non for 5.05.651.02.

Or maybe a solution to my ruu.exe problem? I've tried the guides supplied in this forum, but still can't get passed the installation screen.

Thank you !
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] -MightyMouse-:
Can u open the ruu at least to the first menu
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
No, just install wizard "loading" . when its done it either freezes the computer , or does nothing.

I have tried to open it using "compatibility" which tells me to use win 7. But no luck.

Looking for a way to just push it too the phone. Seems easiest.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] -MightyMouse-:
Hmm can I have the link to where you got it. And out of curiosity why not upgrade to 6.16.651.2 which is lollipop
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
I can use 6.16.651.2 flashableRUU ?

The phone is unusable right now, bootloops. I thought I had to be s-off to flash anything but the firmware that's present. Am I wrong?

My end game was to use the phone on at&t. I thought I could flash a gsm ROM to accomplish that.

Can I still s-off and sim unlock lollipop? Or at least s-off and downgrade?

Thanks for the help

I tried downloads from here:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] -MightyMouse-:
There is an ruu in that thread that has a fastboot flashable zip. You might want to read through how to run it on your device. You shouldn't ever flash a gsm Rom to a Sprint phone. The mount points are different.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
Solution: get a new computer.

Not sure what was going on but I could not get the ruu to run on windows 8.1. Drivers, adb,fastboot all working on the computer. I couldn't find the problem.

Dug up an old windows XP machine I have , worked in an instant.

No knowledge gained.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] N4LG4S:
The RUU exe take a lot of RAM to run. please make sure you have no other programs running when running the exe. If you device is stuck in a boot loop try power the device down and into recovery mode. Then connect to terminal when the RUU ask to connect to the device. My guess is the the RUU is corrupt and try re-downloading the file. If all else fails relock the boot loader and try returning to stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffDenver:
Some background...Rooted and unlocked. I removed encryption right after I bought it.

I attempted to flash 5.1 the update. I flashed the bootloader and radio first, and rebooted the bootloader. Everything went fine until I tried to flash the system image. I got a lot of "sparse" errors.

When it rebooted it re-encrypted the device. But now nothing works. Phone, NFC ect shows errors. I can get into the bootoader, and I can flash stuff, but the recovery menu is gone,. It's just an error icon with "no connection" now.

Any ideas on how I can salvage this? I already backed everything up before I started. Is there a way I can just wipe everything and go back to stock? Even if it is 5.01?

EDIT - My bootloader is still showing as unlocked. I did not re-lock it.

I do understand that fastboot only works while in the bootloader. I have not attempted to use it while in Android.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwalt2:
Just extract the .zip and flash the things inside separately using fastboot. You can skip user data I believe (or not if you don't care about erasing your device). Using the -w switch would have erased it anyway. The commands are easy, just "fastboot flash system system.img" and the like. Change "system" and "system.img" for the file you're flashing.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffDenver:
Ok, I did this. It appeared to work correctly, but...

My phone looks like it did before. In "about" I see it shows 5.1 as the version. I have lost root. Shouldn't I be reset to factory appearance since I overwrote the entire system? Everything looks intact, including nova launcher.

Phone appears to be working normally. I am on the phone on hold as I type this. I am just worried about problems down the road. Do I need to flash anything else? Can I assume the bootloader and radio installed correctly?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its just you mentioned a toolkit as an alternative to adb but adb has nothing to do with any of this so if you're going to be helping the OP, I thought I'd better check that you know what you're talking about. ...which I don't think you do... So back to the point, how I'm helping the OP is by telling him to ignore everything you say. THAT'S "what's it" to me. Cheeky chops

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
to repeat again, you use fastboot to flash the factory img, while youre in the bootloader. it should take you just several minutes to do, or a little bit longer if you are being very carefull. adb has nothing to do with it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
its probably a good idea to factory reset since you're going up a major version and have already had problems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konfuzion:
The reason I suggested wugs, is the first thing it has you do after installation is walks you through removing old drivers and installing the correct drivers and making sure that the phone is recognized. Then it will download the needed files and check the md5's which would help to avoid further problems.

Sorry, coming back to the point. I actually asked a Motorola US support person through my sister in US and he had a slightly different reply. He asked me to wait for a week with the phone (max 10 days was his words). The phone would work fine soon. He said there were some initial issues with the upgrades which iron out given some time. He just asked me to restart the phone a couple of times every day. If things didnt work out he said I could return the phone to the online site from where i got it or get it checked at a Motorola service centre for free.
