[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revelling:
You think that might be the solution? Well, I might as well give it a try because I've never changed the battery on my phone. It's gotten pretty bad in the two years I've had the phone but I just haven't gotten around changing because I'm not sure which places sell authentic Samsung batteries. I guess Google knows, I'll ask them. :D

Thanks a lot for the reply!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
To add on to this, a genuine battery is the one you want :) There are many on ebay (In my country) and online too. Just make sure to research whether they are the real deal or not.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miffymiffy:
Hey guys. I am wondering if anyone is able to make a ROM purely off source for me. Wanting a 5.0.2 base. I have no idea how and my laptop really wouldn't be able to anyway...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
I saw a similar Q&A thread post but I don't think the member was looking for the same things as I am. Are there any available touch wiz lollipop multi dpi apps. ? Specifically the dialer/contact, and camera/gallery all get out of proportion at anything other than the stock 480 dpi. I would love to drop down to 420 dpi or lower without having to use 3rd party apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
There is a thread in S5 Theme and App section. You'll find some multidpi apps there.

Backup before you replace any of the files.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vaindil:
Just a quick question here since I don't see a guide anywhere. My brother is getting an M8 from Verizon in several weeks (he's getting a new contract and the M8 looks like the best free/cheap phone available). So I can assist him, what is the current status on unlocking the bootloader and rooting? Looks like it will ship with Lollipop according to Verizon's site.

I don't need detailed guides on doing everything (I'm familiar with the concepts; I have a Nexus 5 myself), but just a quick "Bootloader can't be unlocked, so no root" or whatever the case is would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Sunshine 3.x now unlocks/ s-offs VZW M8 with LP 5.0

Not 100% on rooting.

I literally just flashed TWRP to mine via ADB fastboot method about 4 minutes ago and am running a stock nandroid backup as I type this.

I was on 4.4.4 when I S-offed, then took the LP update to 5.0, then flashed TWRP recovery (right now) in order to flash SuperSU. That's about all I know. Everyone said to S-off BEFORE taking the OTA update in order to obtain root on LP.. so I did. Now i'm just trying to figure out where I get this SU to install for perm root. Now your guess is as good as mine for why I needed to S-off BEFORE taking the OTA. The new sunshine that was released (3.x) is able to S-off after the update so I'm really not sure what the difference would be whether you S-off on 4.4.4 or 5.0 and then do the same process to install supersu. Anyways, hope this kind of helps.

Oh, and I suppose if you S-offed , you could flash TWRP then just install a pre-rooted stock ROM which i'm sure is somewhere out there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BladeRunner:
You needed to s-off before taking the ota because sunshine still does not work on VERIZON M8s on lollipop
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] baune7:
Ahhhh.. OK.

Glad I didn't update then before I ran Sunshine. I'm sure Jcase and his buddy are working on getting VZW ironed out soon. Just finished Flashing TWRP, and to the OP.. when you flash TWRP, it roots it for you pretty much, it must be bundled in there. After I made the backup, and went to reboot it asked if I wanted to install superSU since it saw I wasn't rooted yet. It did and I just rebooted and it was there, updated the binaries no problems and now I'm on stock VZW LP-rooted.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sambaba:
Would you know what should a newbie do to root an unlocked, S-off, Android 4.4.4, htc6525lvw?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ok2nvnexus:
I just bought an unlocked nexus 6 about week ago off of swappa. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it so I could use titanium backup and v4a... Well I noticed I'm on 5.0.1 and I want to goto 5.1.. I cannot receive the update from Google since I'm rooted right?? So I've been reading and would like some input as in to what I should do. I'm not a total noob I've just been out of the rooting and flashing game for few years since I had the note 3 and 4 from att ( never again lol )... So what's my best course of action? Can I use wugs toolkit and just flash the factory images or do I have to unroot first? Thanks in advance... I just don't want to be left with a paper weight ;)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfcooley:
There are many threads about this.

You can simply download the images from Google and manually flash them.

You need adb and fastboot installed along with the drivers.

Not trying to be an ass, but search here and read carefully. A toolkit isn't necessary, flashing a nexus isn't difficult and you will learn what and how to do it.

The links aren't hard to find. It may sound mean, but it will help you more in the long run.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ok2nvnexus:
This is exactly why I never post stuff on XDA anymore...if I read my post I have been reading and searching ... I just had a simple couple questions. I've been reading as much as I can but with me being a single father of two and not having all day to read I just wanted to ask a couple quick questions so I don't brick my phone! I know I can flash them but can I do it rooted? Can I still get the ota while I'm rooted. Last I read u couldn't then someone Todd me you could! So I just wanted to be sure that's all!!!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can not go through with an updated if you have root, or if you changed any system files. you can always do it manually, amd the right way. or you can just flash any of the compiled 5.1 roms with twrp recovery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacknikname:
Just flash system.IMG from Google with adb commands
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfcooley:
Yes, you can do it rooted.

I did it while my 2 year old daughter pitched a fit because she couldn't have my PC to watch Bubble Guppies and I flashed an N5 while my 14 year old watched asking question after question.

Learned how to use adb and fastboot after working 10-12 hours and cutting/splitting wood before it got dark.

I know tired and I know time crushed.

Forgive me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
wrong, not adb. fastboot. you need to use fastboot for it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ok2nvnexus:
That's funny kids are always asking me for my phone while I'm out to watch bubble guppies on it...one it actually watching it on my opo right now... Back on topic... I downloaded the factory image and I know how to use adb and fastboot but do I have to unroot to do so or just flash as normal.. Sorry if I'm sounding noob but last time I used or did any of this was with my nexus 4. Years ago lol

Sent from nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfcooley:
You don't have to unroot. Depending on what you flash you may have to re-root after flashing.

Flash boot loader then reboot

Flash radio then reboot

Flash system, boot, cache if you want. If you want to erase everything flash userdta as well. I usually skip user data.

After that fastboot flash custom recovery, boot into it and flash SuperSU. If you don't have SuperSU, twrp will see its not rooted and ask if you'd like to just by swiping.

You need to have boot loader unlocked. Be sure to go to settings/developer options/allow OEM unlock (tick the toggle) BEFORE you do any of this.

Sorry if its kinda convoluted, dinner time and I'm breaking rules by using phone at table, so going fast

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Further to this, be aware, if you need to unlock the boot loader (if it isn't already unlocked), back up any data you want to keep... pictures music..etc because unlocking the boot loader... will erase everything......

just tested xposed

framework installed successfully

then i try to activate a module (greenify) and it successfully sends me to a bootloop...hahahaha

may be due to our odexed system and framework....just my own opinion
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Desperanto86:
and greenify is optimised for LP? ALL modules should be updated to LP support! Old modules from KK = 100% bootloop.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cotrec:
sorry, actually i activate 2 module.greenify and app setting....

app setting module may caused bootloop

greenify optimised for lp already if im not wrong....

on cm12 or aosp lp based rom the old module dont cause bootloop, just not work....

let me try again.....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Desperanto86:
cm and aosp are using clear android. we have vendor firmware fully reworked...you can see in samsung thread. they even can't normal boot system with clear xposed withouts modules :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cotrec:
yes...u're right

just tried again and still the same.even it said greenify optimised for lp already

can u confirm what modules are working for now??
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Desperanto86:
I use only gravity box. It works fine with some little bugs (like invisble right button, when I change size of navbar)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] cotrec:

tonight maybe i'll try again to research and find working module

go into recover wipe cache and davlik and the phone will boot up

i been using xposed all day today, just downloand and activate all the modules at once so you dont have to keep rebooting.
