Thanks a lot, so i will install RR.

one more thing I'm not sure about .... in step 4 it says "install TWRP", but what I have understood is that you have to download "recovery.img" and then go to step 5 which consists of putting that file and the "flash_recovery.bat" in the adb.exe folder and run the adb.exe by double clicking. This step 5 is the one that causes the TWRP itself to be installed, correct? I will follow the steps in the manual, but step 4 confuses me ... you don't have to manually install TWRP by downloading it from the link you indicate in another post, right? simply in step 5 it already installs itself, got it?
[Android General] uZveruga:
Nothing happens by itself.

Before step 4 check that:

- you have enabled usb debugging

- you have working adb

- you got root

- the tablet is powered on, android loaded, and tablet is connected to PC with usb cable.

- all files: "recovery.img", "flash_recovery.bat", "adb.exe" are in one folder

Step 4 is just about getting the file from internet to PC.

Step 5 - flashing this file to phone (just run "flash_recovery.bat" - it did that)

All these files (except adb) are inside RR_5.8.5 archive on mega.
[Android General] NewerOne:
Ok, i have all of this. And all the files from the zip you put here

You said this:

Step 5 - flashing this file to phone (just run "flash_recovery.bat" - it did that)

But.i understood that in step 5 i have to put "recovery.img", "flash_recovery.bat" in the folder where "adb. exe" is and make double clic in "adb. exe".....I also have to double click on "flash_recovery.bat"?
[Android General] uZveruga:
Just double click on "flash_recovery.bat".
[Android General] NewerOne:
I achieve it! very easy with the steps and the archives. Thanks a lot!!!

only one thing that i have lost a lot of time and just in case if it can helps anyone....in step 2 "adb", when you download the "command lines only" the adb.exe is not inside.....so i downloaded android studio to install sdk manager and in configure options of sdk i installed Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) and 4.4 (kit kat) in SDK Platforms and in SDK Tools i installed "Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)"

Thanks a lot

one thing... i choose spanish language but some things are still in English.... i thing is normal and nothing i can do, right?
[Android General] uZveruga:
Congratulations. You could ask me, I would upload the archive with adb. :)

The language, yes, the firmware itself may not be fully translated and the applications you use may not have the full Spanish localization.

Hello (i'm french),

please help ;)...

problem to install the ROM.

Lenovo A5500-F / MT:60056

TWRP 2.8.0.0 successfully installed

I put "RR_5.8.5_A7600H_23.07.2018.zip" on external SD Card

Wipe OK (and I also made a format Data)

reboot, then try to install the ROM and I obtain a Failed result (same with different ROM like Lineage and RResurection) :
[Android General] uZveruga:
I don't know what to do. But maybe your TWRP is too old. Try version 3.0.2
[Android General] EleMaster:
Hello. I have a big problem with the tablet. I have change the software to LineageOS without complications. But after that i have recorded some movies for my kid on external SD card and I have put it in the tablet. So far so good. The pop up a message (from my memory): If I want to make the card like internal memory. I chose YES and that was the end of the tablet. I got reboot and then everytinh hangs on load animation (it goes forever end ever...).

What I try:

1)go to Recovery and wipe - no succes (message unablr to mount storage)

2)to use SP flash tool - everything end with sucess but there is no succes still can't install nothink from recovery

I think I need somehow to reset the tablet like in the factory. I don't belive that the problem is in hardware (broken NAND) and not in the sftware.

PS

Mayby user uZveruga can ask experts on RU forum for help?

I got from SP FT:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubreed000:
I'm usually first in line to update firmware, but when Lollipop first launched I decided to wait until a stable custom ROM was released, and in retrospect, I'm glad I did because from what I've seen and heard, Lollipop has been a big bust.

Now I am getting a little antsy to update, but reading about the 5.1.1 gives me no confidence. Apparently the Nexus 5 still suffers from laggy performance, battery drain, and other performance issues? Can anyone attest to this? Should I just stay with KK? Are the custom ROM's any better or do they suffer from the same issues as stock ROM? I'm really disappointed with Google on this. They came out touting this and that about Lollipop, and it seems they've fallen flat on all those promises.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
Stay with KitKat. 5.1.1 fixed/improved the memleak, that's it. It's still not as fast as 4.4.4. There are also issues with flashlight, camera, bounce scrolling, etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
It's impossible to generalise this statement because our usage and setup is all different.

You also have to remember that the internet is for complaining, and you won't hear about or read equivalent posts with little or no issues...

My view: take a nandroid backup of your current setup. Full wipe and flash one of the latest ROMs and test for yourself.

If you discover any of these issues, then restore. If you like what you discover: win!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
There is no reason to use KitKat only ( I know some guys will use Xposed as a reason ).

Lollipop has never been terrible, laggy or buggy as hell. I know that some guys have complained but some users don´t know how to handle a device.

They install every App available ( no matter if they need it or not ), collect every game ( no matter if some of these games are considered to be Malware eg. Mother of My** ).

Every system might be throttled down with 500+ Apps active and using their push notifications like there´s no tomorrow.

I never ever had any trouble with Lollipop and would never ever want to move back for good to KitKat only.

I use KitKat 4.4.4 and Lollipop 5.1.1 on my Nexus 7 ( 2013 ) with Multirom but use Lollipop most the time. KitKat is just for testing purposes only if some App I really want to use, would fail to start on Lollipop.

You could try the same and use Multirom for Nexus 5. This way you can use both OS and sooner or later, maybe remove Kitkat and stick to Lollipop+ only ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it ".

4.4.4 works great. Why mess with it? What's so much better with LP? Save yourself the aggravation.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubreed000:
Nah, that's a myth. Always has been.

Anyways, thanks for the input everyone. I think I will try dual-booting Lollipop, or whatever we call it on Android :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
What do you find about it that's better than kitkat? Just want to know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
Lollipop has more eye-candy to offer while performing a lot faster. The whole OS looks more refined by now and ART is a huge step in comparison to Dalvik.

Ofc some Apps might not work on Lollipop yet but I think you would miss out a lot since Android 5.1.1 ( Stock ROM ) is the fastest update I´ve ever tried. :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
Just downgraded 2 of my N5's to KK.

My wife hated it and I like Xposed too much.

Now that Xposed is working in 5.1.1 I will probably upgrade and give it a try again.

I keep a 3rd N5 on Kitkat and use multiRom to experiment.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelopolis:
5.1.1 is fast and looks good but IMHO its not as stable as KK, at least not yet anyway, i went back to KK on sunday and it was like getting my phone back, feels more solid and battery life is much better, you very well may regret upgrading.

Lolipop for me became an excercise in searching for wakelocks and trying to diagnose leaks and what was draining the phone, with Kitkat theres no hassle, it just works by itself, the way in should.

edit: i also found the signal coverage patchy on Lolipop, phone would take ages searching for a signal if it lost it,

other complaints i had were mystery battery drains and maps stalling when driving, basic stuff really.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metallikoh:
I think this is the best answer and prospect of the whole Kitkat vs Lollipop talk. I never had any problem when i was running the latest Lollipop and custom roms. Saying that Lollipop isn't stable is just saying "you are ****" to the google developers. I mean they are the best engineering and programmers in the World.

I am really glad that i bought Nexus 5 from Samsung flagship phones because i could really dig up the community of android and indie developers providing something for the community. Hell, i even bought Galaxy Nexus after i realized Nexus line phones aren't that bad.

[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I'm posting this just because it might be helpful for others, as well as providing some warning for anyone else who might one day get into the same situation.

I was rooted and had installed TWRP on my new Gpad 7.0 V410 and everything was running just fine. I've been modding Android devices for years and thought I knew what I was doing. I didn't like the AT&T boot animation and thought I'd replace it. I found the stock animation in system/media, and replaced it (with a Nexus 7 ani) just like I'd done on previous devices.

When I rebooted, the animation started and ran. But then it hung, and rebooted. It was now stuck in a bootloop. Well, no problem, I thought, I'll just get back into recovery and restore the stock ani.

That was when I discovered how locked down the firmware is on this device. No fastboot. No standard Android bootloader. Not even, as far as I could tell, anyway of rebooting into recovery using the hardware buttons.

I could get to the factory reset screen and download mode, but neither have any way to get to recovery. ADB could not connect. The LG support tool found it, but did nothing but tell me the firmware was up to date. Lots of searching and reading turned up similar tales of woe. I began to worry that there was no way out.

Having no other ideas, I tried doing a factory reset. It ran, and lo and behold, kicked me into TWRP. From here, I confirmed that the device was wiped.

However! I had had the foresight to create a TWRP backup on my external sdcard, and that was still there. Restoring it got everything back in working order.

The moral: If you're up and running now, make an external backup. It could save your butt just as it did mine. :cool:
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Amen

I'd just like to add that you can enable fastboot on this tablet for anyone who might read this thread. If you follow the method described here you'll lose download mode, but the tablet will fall back to fastboot when download mode fails. :good:

Without a kdz file released for the V410 the download mode isn't really good for anything, but fastboot gives you a fighting chance of being able to flash your way out of trouble if you brick your V410. Probably advisable to keep a backup of the laf partition just in case you need it someday.
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Aha, thanks, I had seen that referenced several times, but wasn't sure where to go with it, and wanted to try less extreme methods before attempting something like that.

I've been spoiled by modding HTC and Nexus devices up to now, so this is a bit of a culture shock over here.

Edit: Decided to bite the bullet in case of future problems and nuked laf. Ah, sweet fastboot. :highfive:

*complete partition table loss, requiring the MBM-CI files which are still not available for Lollipop

Well that's disappointing to hear. Hopefully 5.1 fixes some of that. My G is still on 4.4.4 and has absolutely killer battery life. I wouldn't even have a problem if 5.1 decreases it a bit, as long as it's not significant.
[Moto G General] michalurban:
I hope so. Anyway, I'm quite disappointed with the fact GPe already has 5.1 - but nothing here on stock Moto G. Why is it taking so long? Stock and GPE identical ...

[Moto G General] eemgee:
Xposed has ran great for me since the first alfa, have to remember to clear catch and dalvik catch after installing it, or you get a memory full message.

Amplify takes a bit of setting up(donate version), but once it is the savings are great with no notable downsides.

Been using it for a month or two now. :D

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zomgitsanoob:
So, I was attempting to remap my keys in order to restore the old menu/recent apps behavior (editing generic.kl), and something went wrong. I lost the use of Volume Down, Back, menu, and Power (?!). The backup I thought I'd made was missing, as well.

I replaced generic.kl with the file provided by [MENTION=6715309]arjundev1[/MENTION] below, erased the cache partition, and rebooted... and got nothing. No change. As it stands, I've used this app to restore functionality to VOLUME_DOWN, MENU, and POWER (I can access APP_SWITCH by pressing the home button again after using it to return to the home screen), but the power button still fails to turn off the screen or present a power menu. Furthermore, in order for this app to restore this function, I have to use its keyboard instead of Hacker's Keyboard or any other full-sized layout.

I know it's a software issue because I use the same power button to turn the phone on (including accessing ODIN or RECOVERY mode), and the aforementioned app even registers the key press if I try to [re-]map it. It just doesn't do anything. I'm currently using either a widget or rom toolbax's rebooter menu to power down or reboot, and another widget to turn off the screen. Everything else on the phone appears to be working normally.

I edited no other files during the original remap attempt; only /system/usr/keylaout/generic.kl

official transparent case now available - but I didn't like it

The official transparent case became available directly from Alcatel's own web store about a week or 10 days ago.

I ordered one, got it in, but I didn't like it.

It fits well. Seems well made. But two problems.

One - it's really shiny, slick, makes the phone really easy to slip out of my hand.

Two - the parts of the case that wrap around the sides are absolutely flush with the front, they don't stick out at all past the front, which is nice unless you put the phone face down: they don't provide for any clearance between the glass and the surface where you've set it down.

I'm going to send this case back.
