Hei guys.. Long time no see :D.

Let's get to the point. I factory reseted my htc one s (from recovery) (internal, ..etc all i could select). The rebooted my phone. Now the phone won't boot, i am stucked on htc quietly brilliant screen. I CAN'T ACCES BOOTLOADER via Power+volum -. When i try to turn it off (by keep pressing power button until i stops) it restarts after 5-6 secounds(without me touching anything). I can,t turn it of, the adb can't recognize it. My phone is unlocked and S-off. :confused::confused: I didn't brick my phone the time i used it..and now i do a factory reset and ..bootlooping ! It will propably turn off when is out of juice!

Any ideas ?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
What do you expect? You've erased everything from it with that Factory Reset. How it is supposed to boot without a ROM on it?

Keep vol down pressed while it is rebooting, eventually it'll go to bootloader. You probably haven't press it at the right timing. Press power off till it shuts down, then press vol down and keep it pressed until you get the bootloader. Then you can go to recovery and mount to PC, transfer a ROM zip and flash it.

By any chance do you have a nandroid backup of the rom that worked before? Probably not on sdcard (if you erased that also) but on PC. You could try restoring that one from recovery

[HTC One S] b.imihai:
i did erase everything..but that shouldn't make me unable to acces my bootloader. I have been trying to het to bootloader for some time...no succes. Now is charging ( the battery was empty) and i am keep trying without any reasults.
[HTC One S] b.imihai:
I managed to get to recovery with adb (without the adb listing it like a device) I typed "adb reboot recovery" ( when was and and restarting ) until it got to recovery. THANKS FOR HELP

Hello

I have a rooted LG G3 (D855) running android L(5.0.1). It has been a month since i have rooted y phone but everytime i try to download a new app it downloads but doesn't install.

It says 'Installing' and it stays like that forever and doesnt actually install the app. This i not anything to do with the wifi or mobile data. I have tried cleaning the cache and uninstalling apps to make space i have 4 gb left. This happens whether im instaling an app on the play store or from an unknown source.

Plz reply, Thanks

So I did the most recent firmware update on the controller, and now it seems that my right trigger button behaves erratically and I can no longer shut the controller down by holding the logo for six seconds. I didn't see any other threads about this issue, so is it just mine? Is there a way to factory reset to older firmware or will any resets just reset the current firmware?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mundodisco8:
Hi guys,

First of all, I think this is the place to ask this, but if it weren't, please feel free to move to somewhere more adequate.

My bank has blocked its app on rooted phones. Is something that I don't agree with, but I understand why they do it (even when I think it's pointless). I also use a couple of apps that require root, and as of now, I prefer to be rooted than using the banking app. I was wondering if it would be possible, due to android's multiuser support, to have two users, one with root, one without, and use the unrooted user for the banking app. I searched a bit and come with nothing, with either means that is not possible, or that I am terrible at searching. Has somebody tried this?
[Verizon LG G3] DaneMazzaro:
I recently tried to re-install root on my device. I used the link below to root:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

Everything worked fine, my phone rebooted normally, said it was rooted and I went on my day. Later that day I rebooted my phone and now it wont start up. It just pauses at the verizon logo and never gets past that. I can get into the default LG recovery, but I don't know how much I can really do there.

I really need to recover some of my files, contacts, etc. If I could just fix the issue without losing data that would be better, but at the very least I need to save some files from my phone. Any ideas?

EDIT: I have done some research and found I can fix my issue if I'm able to get my phone to be recognized by my computer. For some reason the MTP USB Device driver fails the install...
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Have you gotten into recovery and tried to wipe the cache?
[Verizon LG G3] Edde3d:
If you can get into the stock recovery you should be able to choose wipe cache and it will take you to twrp if you have it flashed onto your phone. From there you can restore or wipe the cache and see if that helps.
[Verizon LG G3] Majnuel:
Exact problem

My s3 is soft bricked and i need all my information back, would pay for help:(
[Verizon LG G3] astonmartin214:
Your hit there's no way to recover information from a soft/hard brick requires a factory flash
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
why would you think that you have to be encrypted to push anything to recovery??? plus sideload is only one method to do it, the other is adb push. and if you use twrp recovery, you don't need any of those method's, as you can just move files over to twrp via your usb.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Sorry if I gave the impression you need to be encrypted to push to recovery, that wasn't my intent. Where did I give that impression? I can try to fix it in my original post. At no point in this procedure will your phone be encrypted - there will be times that the kernel will have the force encryption option turned ON in the fstab but you never will boot the phone when that is the case (like right after LRX22C is loaded, after LYM47M is sideloaded, and after you flash the stock boot.img for LYM47M - but you are not booting in any of these cases - not before you install a no forced encryption kernel)

adb push requires the phone is booted right? I wasn't able to get adb push to work in recovery.

I also didn't know TWRP allowed you to copy data over to your phone via USB, I know CWM recovery can do it - but that was a feature missing from TWRP - maybe they added it, I didn't check. You can do an adb push with TWRP, but what in my procedure would you change to use the adb push method in TWRP versus whatever I put in there? The only thing I can think of is asking you to put the mod file on the phone in the beginning.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
"So I just figured out how to sideload LYZ28E on my Nexus 6 without enabling forced encryption. " ;)

actually adb push is very easy.. boot unto recovery, type adb push filename.zip, then it pushes to your phone and is listed in the main storage filesystem. id say its nearly identical to adb sideload.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Sorry maybe that first sentence is poorly worded. What I meant was, I figured out how to get LYZ28E onto my phone and disable the forced encryption on the OS too. The process wasn't as straightforward because the 2nd sideload wouldn't work correctly without booting into the OS first. After that, I couldn't get the LYZ28E image to sideload on stock recovery or TWRP without errors - but I was able to modify the LYZ28E OTA file so it would load with TWRP, and then I was able to load the no encrypt mod and supersu and get the phone working the way I wanted again.

Are you saying it would be easier if I push the zip file to the phone and install using TWRP as a zip file instead of trying to sideload it?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Step 3: "Hold down the Power and Volume Up button (may need to do it a few times) to get to the Recovery menu".

Actually, the correct key combination is: Hold power, then (while holding power button) press and release volume up.

Works first time, every time.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Thanks, updated the original post.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
easier/harder isnt an option here, since any way takes seconds. im just saying there are several options for this, thats all :)
[Nexus 6  General] Chahk:
Shouldn't this step be

adb sideload f69096766706fab3c721163f02aad9073a989d00.unsigned-shamu-LYZ28E-from-LMY47M-fullradio-fix-superblock-use-TWRP.zip

instead of fastboot flash?
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
So if your starting out with 47E, your rooted and have TWRP ..... would you use adb sideload in TWRP or you issue the command from the PC?
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Oops, you're right. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
This is where I was, LMY47E, rooted, unencrypted and with TWRP. I followed the entire procedure - went back to LRX22C using fastboot, then sideloaded LMY47M (T-Mobile version) - then flashed the no force encrypt boot.img - booted, after it finished booting, rebooted to the bootloader and so on ...

When you go to LRX22C you flash back to the stock recovery. So you need to boot into the stock recovery, pick "apply update from adb" and then run the adb sideload command from the PC.
[Nexus 6  General] lamenting:
Cheers for this.. just what I was looking for. I'm at work so I only scanned this quickly, but any major change in the directions from what you've posted going from an unencrypted LMY47D?
[Nexus 6  General] Mi|enko:
With the factory images being posted, I just did the following:

Flashed the factory images

While still in bootloader, flashed TWRP

Rebooted into TWRP

Pushed SuperSU and the No_Force_encrypt to the /sdcard/ partition

Installed via TWRP

Profit.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
For LMY47D you need to get to LMY47M first, so you would follow the entire procedure, downgrade to LRX22C and then sideload LMY47M and so on.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Heavily updated the procedure since LMY47M and LYZ28E factory images are now available directly from Google.

Should be a lot easier and more straight forward now!
[Nexus 6  General] frater:
I just recently have this Nexus 6 and came from an LG G2. I went through the process of unlocking the phone and installing rooted LMY47D which meant 2 factory resets in a short period.

I'm now on 5.1 and would like to get rid of the memory leak which this build apparently has.

The title mentions "maintain no encryption".

I never found the time to find out about Lollipop. The title implies that encryption is mandatory on 5.1.1

Is this so?

I merely want the latest upgrade to 5.1.1 and don't want to enforce encryption on my data (Google already knows everything about me) is this the way to achieve this?

I am correct in thinking that I will not get an OTA offered anymore?
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
Boot loader and radio only...

So if I understand the instructions correctly, if you are still encrypted but rooted, from any Lollipop installation, fast boot flash the factory images... then flash TWRP ... root and done right? Then I have another question... the kernel I am running EX 1.07 along with Flar's app is running perfect for me.... any dangers in just flashing the boot loader and radio? I would like to wait on the system part until the kernel has been updated.....

Also, if I needed to do a restore, if I only flash the boot loader and radio have I pooched being able to go backwards to a nand backup?
[Nexus 6  General] STi_Fanatic:
FYI, step 3 in option one should read:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

vs

fastboot flash twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
Starting with Android Lollipop (5.0) and newer - at least on the Nexus 6 - encryption is turned on by default for the userdata partition.

You would - if you wanted to - backup all of the data on your userdata partition (e.g. Any pictures you've taken with the phone, etc - all of the data basically that shows up when you plug your phone into your computer).

Then you need to be running an OS that doesn't force encryption (for example if you follow my instructions) - this would also get you running 5.1.1.

After that you need to format your userdata - it wouldn't be encrypted at that point, and then copy your data back if you want to.

If you don't care about encryption, you can simply flash the factory 5.1.1 image following my instructions and skip the TWRP parts.
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
If you're already encrypted and you want to stay that way you can skip flashing the NO FORCE ENCRYPT mod zip file.

I have definitely flashed newer radios without touching the OS before and been fine - and generally speaking bootloaders are backwards compatible - but without knowing what has changed on both of them I can't be 100% sure.

Nandroid backups usually include partitions - the bootloader and radio are independent of the partitions.

I want to maintain encryption but when I flash I get an error saying "system.img not found press any key to exit " I've done this consistently in the past on my Nexus 7, so I kinda know what I'm doing here. Any idea what the issue is here?

Hi I'm in the same case: Unencrypted LMY47D, did you find a solution ? (I mean LMY47D Unencrypted --> LMY47Z Unencrypted)

[Nexus 6  General] TechnoGeek2134:
After flashing the no encrypt mod thing, my phone still shows that it's Encrypted in Security, under Settings. Is that normal? Is there a way to test if it truly worked or not?
[Nexus 6  General] liqice:
You need to be unencrypted to begin with - if you were encrypted with 5.0 or 5.1, then you would still be encrypted on 5.11 even if forced encryption is turned off. You would need to re-format your userdata partition after disabling the forced encryption, and then your phone would not show it is encrypted. Formatting your userdata partition means you lose all your data so make sure you back it up first.
[Nexus 6  General] Krunk83:
I've followed all the steps in the OP for option 1 and when I boot into TWRP it asks me for a password. If I cancel I can't access my data.
[Nexus 6  General] tflogic:
you may have accidentally encrypted your device. sounds like you did a normal reboot after flashing all the system images rather than rebooting into the bootloader (fastboot reboot-bootloader) or TWRP (selecting "Recovery Mode" on the bootloader screen).
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
Hello All,

Thank you for the thread. Is there a way for me to do this without loading TWRP?

This is what I have done to get to 5.1 LMY47I

I needed some help updating to 5.1.1. (T-Mobile Only) (LYZ28E).

I am Unlocked and NOT Encrypted.

I am still rooted and don't have any desire to "root"

I want to updated to LYZ28E, keep my phone not encrypted.

Where can I get a a no force encrypt boot.img for LYZ28E?

These are the steps I used in the past, is this still correct?

First I Unzip everything from LYZ28E.

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu...

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash radio radio-shamu...

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash boot boot.img (a no force encrypt boot.img)

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img*

Do I need to "fastboot format cache"? Am I missing anything?? Flashing cache?

Fastboot reboot

am i doing something wrong?
