[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arfyness:
Okay, so as long as I'm flashing the stock stuff, i don't need to unlock der bootlegger?

I see these images: boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata. obvs I don't want to overwrite userdata. and right in the .tar there are bootloader and radio. Plus neat scripts to flash only those. So I need to do all of those except for userdata, and don't need to 'oem unlock' at all for that?

So maybe I'm thinking crosseyed at this, because the Nexus Images page starts off with instructions including oem unlock, but I can't figure what part that's for, since it's not a custom kernel. And this confuses me too: "Bootloader has to be unlocked because decrypt requires ability to flash custom kernel." Am I reading that backwards? Is it the custom kernel that requires the data decrypted, and therefore bootloader unlocked? If it's just that, then why put that in the instructions at the Nexus Images page?

But these are questions for tomorrow. My eyes are sticky. :eek: I appreciate your clarification on the data being the only target of the encryption. Totally makes sense upon half a second of thought.

Goals: Stock + Root + ability to keep up to date in future. And TWRP if I need it (e.g. for gaining root)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Have to be unlocked to fastboot flash images (update to 5.1.1), flash TWRP and to root. No need to flash userdata and wipe data unless have a problem with something such as VOLTE setting but that is only if the problem comes up. Lol :cool:

Edit: Also need to be unlocked in case you **** up and soft brick. Not much we can help you with if locked. Lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arfyness:
So then I do need to 1-wipe user data, because that happens at 2-decrypt, and that's required to 3-unlock, which is required to 4-use fastboot, fastboot is required for 5-custom recovery, which is required to 6 install SuperSU in order to 7-get root. Do I have this correct?

Edit - Just still confused by an earlier post. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62026101&postcount=18
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
#1- Unlock (fastboot oem unlock) Must have unlock checked in developer options.

#2- Flash update images. Don't flash userdata.img if don't want to wipe data.

#3- Reboot make sure all works.

#4- Back to bootloader and flash TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery {TWRP Image})

#5- Flash SU 2.49 zip with TWRP.

#6- Do not lock bootloader!!!!!!

If want to decrypt:

#1- Flash custom kernel in TWRP

#2 - Wipe all data and setup from scratch.

Cannot decrypt and save data. Has to be decrypted from get go. Can't decrypt encrypted data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arfyness:
Ohh OK, so I must have mistaken one thing. I thought unlock required decrypting. I appreciate your patience!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
I don't decrypt. No need I see for it. My device fast and don't download multi GB files. Unlock allows us to save your ass if you screw up. ;):p:cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Doesn't step 1 wipe your device though? I always thought it would. (Haven't rooted mine yet)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Yes it does. If want to play with the big boys gotta start from scratch. :rolleyes::cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Thought so. :)

I used to root my Galaxy S4 but that was mainly to make it more Nexus-like. Haven't really seen the need for it so for with my N6. It's just good enough as it is for now. :D

Thought about rooting it to try out the notification led and to be able to tweak the vibration strength but neither of those are critical to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
To improve performance. In theory it should.

But in practice I did not see differences.

Encrypted again, stock Rom, rooted, Franco kernel.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arfyness:
Yeah, see, that's what I thought too. Haven't done it yet, but I'm looking at the developer page here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images which says:

(Emphasis added.)

I thought the reason for this wipe is that it turns off encryption. I'll find out probably sometime this week, whatever night I find myself with enough patience to back up all of the things and go through the process.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, this does not turn off encryption.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
As I understand it. The unlock wipes all data and all data after restore is encrypted. If decide to unencrypt flash decrypt kernel and then wipe data (factory reset). All data from that point on will be unencrypted. Can't decrypt already encrypted data. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arfyness:
Ooohkay. All the gaps between the pieces are filling in now. Thanks for all your explanations, the thing about the custom kernel makes sense now as it relates to no encryption. I've been expecting all along to have to wipe at unlock anyway, so that is no disappoint.

:victory:

Thanks again guys. I think I've thanked all of those posts you wrote. I'll go look to make sure.

Did anyone have found a solution to support the Hands free profile with the Headset from Nokia (BH800, the little thing)

Im using the Black 3.0.1 for my hermes (softbank) very happy with it (running very fast)

but can seem to use my BH800.

i have tried all the other WM6 rom's and had the same result.

I had checked my BH800 with the K-jam running wm6 (faria) and it was working fine, so it seems that the BH800 isn't supported by the driver.

any suggestions?

pls help I'm losing sleep over this
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ramontrotman:
the black 3.0 roms has problems with bluetooth....but even so...i found that support for this headset is a little flakey on all the roms. it only worked for me on black 2.5 and the newest lvsw rom....but even then it wouldn't work all the time. sometimes i'd be able to answer the phone with the button the headset it self, other times it wont let me do it. i did notice when i got my replacement phone however, cingular sent a sheet of paper saying the 8525 is not compatible with the bh800..im not sure if that has something to do with it.

Wait.. I am not sure what to do here.

1.I go to download mode, flash the cfautoroot.zip for 4.4.4 eventhough I am 5.0.2 right?

2.then you say flash the recovery.img from 5.0.2 StockRom file.

this is the part I don't quite get it. Cause you said dont reboot.

Do I flash it when my phone is turned on or should I put it in download mode to flash???

EDIT: OK ignore the all of the above. I got it now. I was stupid and blind. lol

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyzeer:
what I did was shut down the phone for 5 minutes. power on, then reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardwu:
but when I shut it down it also automatically goes into recovery. Even if I choose power down in the stock recovery it stills reboots into recovery. I can boot it back up perfectly tho but now I just can't fully shut my phone down.

How did you manage to shut your phone down?

I shut down my phone via option from holding power button.

did you shutdown your phone by holding the power button for a period of time or you choose from the option from holding the power button for a few seconds??

Edit: I got it. I went to download mode via terminal emulator and then shutdown from there.

Upgraded To *********BOD9

[/B]

Thank you very much for your instructions and I was able to upgrade my firmware to ********BOD9 (Russia). I did not feel any lagginess and the upgrade is smooth and stable from 4.4.4 to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 ********BOD9 (Russia). After I updraded the firmware, I root my phone using CFRoot 4.4.4, followed your instructions carefully. I did extra work to make sure the system is clear so that there will be no lagginess. After flashify the recovery.img and boot.img rebooted the phone by flashify it went back to the recovery. Then I wipe data cache and wipe cahe. Go to bootloader mode and again install ********BOD9 using ODIN V 3.10.6 and root and copy the recovery.img and boot.img of ******BOD9 to external SD Card. Next flashify the recovery.img and boot.img and reboot. Then the problem of recovery still exist. I off my phone for 2 minutes. Turn on my phone again, do restart and the problem of going to recovery was gone. Take note that flashify will be used for 3 flashing per day. If you consume the 3 flashing don't reboot your phone, patiently wait for 1 day and flashify the recovery and boot.img then reboot using flashify. It will bring you to the bad recovery and reboot system. Now my phone is updated to Android 5.0.2, no lagginess & no stuttering and no recovery problem. The only problem problem is I cannot backup my rom. Still waiting for CWM Recovery for SM-A300F.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
The tutorial shows almost the same way like rooting any other Moto G.

I suspect that what is working on a XT1068 for instance works on the XT1072 too. The first step will always be unlocking bootloader on the Motorola page. Then you can either try to boot into TWRP like I did or flash it. After that use the latest (!) superSU. If you have to sideload it from Pc or can flash it through TWRP like on "normal" Moto G is a question, I presume it doesn't matter.

My opinion is you can follow the linked guide. But someone has to do it and post success on XDA if you want the info from here.

OK let me start by saying hello and good morning. Here is what happened I went out and bought two of the rca pro 10 from Walmart. Gave one to my son, and kept the other for myself. Well he was Messin around and ended up wiping everything off if it.. No OS or anything. I did however manage to get TWRP on both of them , but it does me no good because it cannot find the ext SD card to use the backup. I tried the adb method and it recognized the tablet but any attempt to push file got the dreaded error closed thing. I was wondering being that I have the exact same tablet in working order is there a way to fix this thing. I've pulled a allnighter on this thing and am about to punch my son in the face for this.

Might be able to fix if you can get me a few files from working device

Need to know if both tablets are the same hardware revision usually found in stock recovery you flashed it but might remember

stage 1

Root, install busybox, install terminal, have a ext-sdcard

(Need help pm me)

Stage 2

A scatter for your device has to be crafted before anything can be done

Terminal:

Cat /proc/dumchar_info > /storage/sdcard1/dumchar.txt

Cat mtdinfo -a > /storage/sdcard1/mtdinfo.txt

Cat /proc/mtd > /storage/sdcard1/mtd.txt

Upload and provide links

This is a MUST to start the process

Stage 3

Terminal:

su

ls

you will see 19 mtd@ and each one needs to be copied

dd if=/mtd@(all of these except userdata) of=/storage/sdcard1/backup/file.img ( make sure you place copied files into folder )

This will take time as its raw source

Zip system by itself zip remaining files together upload both

Provide links

Stage 4( this is your stage 5 this is for different revisions)

Cat /proc/cmdline > /storage/sdcard1/cmdline.txt

Upload this as it will be needed to identifie lcd=

Stage 5
