I have a bq Aquaris E5HD with an mtk6582 and it has been upgraded to Lollipop (5.0) but now I don't know how to root it. Anyone know how? And how to port

to it? Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
Use Carliv recovery for Kitkat and then install supersu ZIP from recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
Do you think it would work??

Can I use fastboot boot to try it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
I have tried SuperSu 2.46 on Lollipop 5.0 and it works. I used the TWRP recovery from Kitkat. But both the Kitkat phone and Lollipop phone should have same partition tables. If the partitions change (size or number of partitions), then you cannot use the same recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
Partitions are the same. I tried to flash Philz's for KK and it worked! Thank you so much, haha.

I have installed xposed, do you know why GravityBox [LP] fc's? Sorry if I bother you, but I don't know why it happens...

Anyway, thanks again!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeshkmr:
I tried installing Xposed and it says that Xposed is not yet compatible with Lollipop 5.0 API. So that could be the reason.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash137:
Nope 'cause I've got Xposed Alpha for LP with other modules and they work fine...:confused: So I don't know what happens... Tried with factory reset but nothing...

Does anyone know how to delete photos off of the Nexus 6. Everytime I try to delete a photo from the device a warning comes up and tells me it will be deleted from Google Drive as well. I just want it off the phone to save space.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
I do want things synced so for local deletes I use Quick Pic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

The other thing I like about that program is all the photos snapshots videos in any directory are immediately available, regardless of whether it was synced or not. Also has better sorting options for looking at previews. I would probably delete photos app entirely if quick pics would sync to Google Drive.

I would definitely like more options or if somebody has a better solution I would like to hear it. It seems silly having to run two "gallery" programs.

Sent from my Google N6 on VZ
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esantry78:
Is there a way to do it without having to add an app. Not being able to delete from the device seems quite ridiculous. If not possible through the photo app on Lollipop this seems like a MAJOR flaw that needs to be fixed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beepsilver:
I might have a solution for you: open your stock camera app. Instead of taking a photo, just swipe toward the left. That'll give yourself access to photos without going into the Google Photos app. You can delete photos from there. It's not as efficient as it could be, but you won't lose your photos in the Google Photos app. Good luck.

Hi there,

Sorry if this is a wrong group, but I could not find better one.

I found following link with apparently a Lollipop upgrade for Huawei G750 T00.

hxxp://1--6-lollipop.blogspot.de/2014/10/upgradeupdate-huawei-honor-3x-g750-to.html

I have a problem that I can not download these files. Has anbody succeeded to do it and if so - is this for real or is it just another scam?

Have G750-T00 and am very satisfied with it, however should there be a Lollipop upgrade - I would like to play around with it.

Thanks for you answers.

Hello,

I want to merge 2 Whatsapp Backups. I don't know anything about this but I am good in reading tutorials. But unfortunately I couldn't find any tutorials helping me to merge Whatsapp Backups. Can anyone help me? I've found out that my Backups are crypt8 files. Is this a problem?
[Android Apps and Games] darKpoiSonend:
I can not give you a definitive answer but I could get you some information that might help you.

First off you would need Root access to be able to grab the non-encrypted Databasefiles.

You might be able to decrypt the current database format (crypt8?). However they changed that quite a few times and I didn't keep up with what they changed, maybe try searching here on xda for that.

!!If you don't want to loose your messages I suggest to backup the files somewhere just in case!!

Now, Whatsapp uses two main database files: msgstore.db - for the actual messages and wa.db for the contacts.

Now what you would need to do in theory is to export the messages from one database (the first msgstore.db) and import them into the second one (the new msgstore.db), while making sure that the _id has not been used yet. (this field should be on a auto-increment if I remember correctly)

I hope you have some knowledge of databases?

You could try to dump the Database and then reimport it (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/75675/how-do-i-dump-the-data-of-some-sqlite3-tables)

Good luck :)

if you have any further questions, i'll try to answer them as good as I can

Thank you! Flashing these when I get home! :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notAlwaysHappy:
Be aware.

I flashed file posted above and my Nexus hit boot loop.

The At-At animation just stopped at one specific moment and the phone restarted itself again.

Even reinstalling ROM didn't help - I had to do Factory Reset.

Latest TWRP installed, did everything by the book.

Maybe it's still my fault, no one can say.

Although, the animation is superb and thanks for porting it to N5!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androcraze:
No, you did fine. Animations with more than 199 frames in a folder seem to cause headaches. The original frames are also 1080x1920, which is very bad on a Nexus 5.

I did the cropping, left it at 213 frames, and it locked-up in the worst way. It clobbered my system and the OS had to re-optimize all my apps. Damn! :)

Try these:

Big - http://www.mediafire.com/download/c...Walker-Big-bootanimation-Nexus5-flashable.zip

Small - http://www.mediafire.com/download/n...lker-Small-bootanimation-Nexus5-flashable.zip

I've chopped the frames to 1080x720 (Big, scaled-up) and 1080x480 (Small, as original). I've also reduced the number of frames from 213 to 106.

Let me know what you think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notAlwaysHappy:

Now everything works flawlessly, thanks.

I like the smaller version more - the big one looks quite blurry (I know it's caused by resizing, but it's just more visible), though it's great to have a choice.

One more time: thank you very, very much.

This has actually been released for the Artemis (P3300) on WM5, but since it appears that previously reported mSD card issues migrated from WM5 to WM6, this enhancement may apply to Crossbowed Hermesses as well.

Quoting from HTC EU support site:.."..Sometimes the device shows incorrect file or folder names when displaying my SD card contents. Can it be fixed ?

An improved SD card handling mechanism is now available to all customers. To install this enhancement, please follow the instructions below.."...

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Although I've made fundamental protection in the Xposed module of Greenify (especially in 2.6 beta 10), some of you are still experiencing bootloop if experimental Xposed-based features are activated.

It's really hard to dig these issue without logcat since Android devices and ROMs are highly diverse (fragmented). But logcat in the bootloop case is understandable harder to capture than regular crash issues.

If you are one of the bootloop victims, and would like to help me on this issue. Please follow this instructions to capture a proper logcat for the bootloop issue:

1. Download and install ADB tool, either as standalone package or from the Android SDK.

2. Connect your device with a PC or laptop with USB cable.

3. Enable developer options on your device. (this must be done before the bootloop happens)

4. Test logcat capturing by typing this command in shell (or command prompt): "adb logcat -v time -d" (without quote marks), if you see plenty of log scrolling through the screen and finished, it's ready.

5. Trigger the bootloop, then after the device reboot, type this command in shell: "adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt", if you read "waiting for device" and the command continues running, that's OK.

6. Wait until the last command to finish and return to the shell, then you will get a "logcat.txt" file in the current path (usually the root path of your user home / folder). Send it to me via email (or pastebin.com).

If the command does not finish in a long time, just press "Ctrl + C" to end it, and send me the logcat.txt if it's not empty.

Thanks very much for your effort to help diagnosing this issue.
[Greenify] AaronCompNetSys:
I had some severe boot loops on a CM12 device last night, I think it was just soft reboots not hard (no way to confirm it, sorry). It was running in root mode. I think a play store update cured that one. The SuperSU logs confirmed it was the item requesting access just before soft reboot.

I also had severe soft boot loops on my Moto X OTA 4.4.4, running in boost mode. Updating from play store (to 2.6.1), or disabling the xposed module auth for Greenify would not fix it. Only blocking SuperSU access fixed it. I just verified that granting SU back again to Greenify immediately causes soft boot loop.

Unfortunately, the effected device is a work unit with sensitive information, so I cannot post anything. I can try limited requests if you have any.

Waking a hibernated system app (Spotlight Player) caused a soft reboot, but it appears its working properly now going back into hib and back.

have not tried 30a rom

have tried reinstalling with same results

did clean install

rom works as intended until reboot

2. i do have 4G while in call

3. modem is very unstable, dropping to 4G, 2G, LTE, when and if modem locks after a reboot

other then that it does work once modem locks to tower wifi calling works as well

next is dirty flashing 39b over 39a
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
39b will not lock in lte as good as 39a. I have same issue.

after dirty flashing 39b over 39a

1. no more .com process fails

2. modem does not lock to tmobile on reboot. You must, must power off then turn on for modem to lock to tmobile, this in testing holds true on 39a rom as well

3. lte for me on 39b is much more stable then on 39a. 39a is very erratic for me

4. do have 4G while in call

no data

edit: after futzing with network settings (not really changing anything) and trying multiple SIM cards, mobile data works!

---

I managed to flash the T-Mobile rom on my VS980. It says Android 5.0.2 and I'm able to make and receive wi-fi calls. However, I have no data whatsoever. Under "About phone", "Network", it says "Mobile network state" is "disabled". I've done a full wipe twice, installed the 39a bootstack followed by the Lollipop 30b rom.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions on resolving the missing data? Thanks in advance!

sorry for the confusion :cool:

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

using the 30b t-mobile LP rom is messy on t-mobile sim

1. phone has hiccups locking onto t-mobile network on reboots

a. work around switching airplane mode usually will lock to network

b. shutdown/powerup may may not lock network

2. battery life......is not good for me about 1/4 less

3. phone does not stay locked to LTE on this or 30a roms

4. wifi calling did/does work for me

5. data works in call 4G speeds

using 30b t-mobile LP rom on BYO-Wireless, subsidy of Budget Wireless riding T-Mobile

1. Phone always locks on to network no problems after 1 week testing

a. only 4G speeds with BYO

b. of course no wifi calling

battery life is better/same as was when on previous T-mobile rom when on BYO sim
[Verizon LG G2] re1743:
Actually - running the debloated TMO 30b ROM.

1. Can connect to LTE, but no data on calls unless I switch the network to GSM/WCDMA (no LTE), so data s available on 4G not LTE.

2. Solid connection when in a single location but lots of fluttering when moving (example calls are garbage when driving)

I might return the VS980 and go back to my M7 and see how the new phone releases work out.

I am using this stock-based custom lollipop rom from http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/stock-firmware-23-1-0-690-generic-t3056413

1) I started with a fresh FTF flash of 23.0.1.A.5.77

2) Then rooted using method/instructions from giefroot v3: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598

3) Then installed nut's dual recovery (file Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/)

4) Then copied the ROM zip (from the thread mentioned above) to my external SDCard. Internal is also OK.

5) Turned off phone. Turned back on and hit DOWNVOL repeatedly at the Sony logo (which boots TWRP recovery I believe)

6) Verified that I could hit Install and navigate to my external SDcard and locate the ROM zip (I'm paranoid and always check that before doing the next step)

7) Hit back, went into Wipe menu and wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik cache

8) Went into Install menu, navigated to external sd card, chose the ROM zip and let it install. It flashes the stock 23.1.A.0.690 lollipop system and kernel (as well as root, of course).

9) Rebooted phone. First boot takes a while... be patient.
